196
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:34,100
>> good morning, I have a family of

197
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:37,100
five kids and I have small land here

198
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,100
in the county of san mateo and I

199
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,100
wanted some help from you guys to

200
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:44,601
update some of the regulations for

201
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:47,100
septic that I want to put on my land.

202
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:50,100
I don't know all the details but my

203
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,100
architect, dan, knows everything and

204
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:56,201
can explain to you what I need.

205
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,100
>> dan?

206
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:06,601
>> hi, good morning, first I would

207
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:11,601
like to thank supervisor ray for

208
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,100
talking with me, it was very helpful.

209
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:20,201
my name is dan, a licensed architect

210
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,100
and I landed here from europe and I

211
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:28,100
opened my company in san mateo.

212
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,100
I've designed projects in bay area,

213
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,100
california, united states and overseas.

214
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:36,601
over the last 44 years, I have

215
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:42,100
cooperated with many planning,

216
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:43,100
building and elected officials and

217
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,100
helped create, update and corrected

218
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,100
various regulations.

219
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:52,100
I have become the private

220
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:53,100
practitioner on the other side of the

221
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:57,100
fence that I see how regulations apply

222
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,100
to people working -- designing things

223
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,100
based on their existing regulations.

224
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:04,801
and I want to bring to your attention

225
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,100
that I have identified a regulation

226
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,100
that does not make sense today.

227
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:15,100
we need more housing and we have -- we

228
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:17,100
are blocking housing in san mateo

229
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,100
county for no reasonable reasons.

230
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:23,100
I discovered the problem by

231
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:26,100
chance, currently working in san mateo

232
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:29,601
county, santa cruz county and santa

233
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:34,601
clara county, I realized that modern

234
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,100
septic systems have been specifically

235
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:42,100
and especially designed for smaller

236
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:45,100
lots and for specific problems at

237
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,100
various lots.

238
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:50,201
and such systems do make sense, they

239
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,100
are functioning, they are clean and

240
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,100
they are reliable.

241
00:10:57,100 --> 00:10:59,100
there are hundreds of them in san

242
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:02,100
mateo county and -- sorry, in santa

243
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:04,100
clara county and santa cruz county and

244
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,100
in other bay area counties.

245
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,100
>> I'm sorry, sir, that's your time.

246
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:10,100
>> that's fine, I have some envelopes

247
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,100
that I can give to the supervisors.

248
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,100
>> please give them to the clerk and

249
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,100
you can always follow up with us via

250
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:18,100
e-mail.

251
00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:21,100
>> this is a problem we need to solve.

252
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:22,100
>> madam president, maybe I'll give

253
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:24,100
the speaker my card and we can speak

254
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,401
about his regulatory concerns.

255
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:28,100
>> okay, thank you.

256
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:29,100
>> thank you.

257
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:33,201
>> next we have henry gardner and then

258
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,100
lahara.

259
00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:42,100
>> good morning, all, my name is --

260
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,100
>> can you please adjust the mic. So

261
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:46,100
people on zoom can hear you.

262
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:50,201
>> my name is lah ark -- lahara.

263

>> my name is joanne kim, a rising

265
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,100
senior at kama high school.

266
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:10,801
>> my name is veronica and I'm also a

267
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:13,100
rising senior at carl mont high school.

268
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:17,100
>> my name is zara, a senior at carmel

269
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,100
high school and a senior for skop the

270
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,100
scandals.

271
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:24,601
>> henry gardner, a recent graduate of

272
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,100
burlingame high school, a summer

273
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:28,100
intern with stop the scandals.

274
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:32,100
I want to start by focusing on a

275
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:33,100
number, 13.4 million.

276
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,100
it's the amount our county is paid out

277
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:38,100
in lawsuits related to alleged sheriff

278
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:40,100
misconduct in just the last five

279
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:43,100
years along with another 48 million in

280
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:44,100
pending claims.

281
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:45,100
this comes at a time when the county

282
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,601
has been a publicized struggle over

283
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:52,601
vehicle licensing fees, money which is

284
00:12:53,100 --> 00:12:55,100
reinvested back into our community.

285
00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:56,100
this money impacts our education, our

286
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:57,100
opportunity and our lives.

287
00:12:57,100 --> 00:12:59,100
we demand responsible stewardship from

288
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:01,100
our county.

289
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:05,100
we ask them to showcase this

290
00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:07,100
stewardship by appointing an ongoing

291
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:08,100
inspector general overseeing the

292
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,100
sheriff's office.

293
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:14,601
>> hello, I'm anishka, I'm a student

294
00:13:16,100 --> 00:13:20,100
at carl mont high school, the board of

295
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:22,401
supervisors own independent civilian

296
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:25,100
advisory committee recommended that

297
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,100
last summer the board appoint an

298
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:30,100
inspector general, they would build a

299
00:13:30,100 --> 00:13:32,100
relationship between the sheriff's

300
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,100
office and the community, they would

301
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:36,100
provide a safety valve with disasters

302
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:39,100
happening with the last sheriff, it is

303
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,100
a crucial step towards an improved

304
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:42,100
relationship between the sheriff's

305
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:44,100
office and the community especially

306
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:46,100
after the recent scandals, the

307
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:49,100
inspector general is a path forward.

308
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:51,100
>> I'm going to need you to wrap up in

309
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:52,100
ten seconds.

310
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,100
>> so, we are here to present a

311
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:58,601
position where we have garnered over

312
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,100
550 signatures from members of the

313
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:03,100
community as well as over 20

314
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:07,100
organizations including the naacp, so

315
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,100
we will be presenting those to the

316
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:14,100
board of supervisors today.

317
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:15,100

>> good morning.

322
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,100
president corzo and members of the

323
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:29,100
board, I want to remind you to reflect

324
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,100
on not only what these young people

325
00:14:31,100 --> 00:14:34,100
have said today but who is saying it.

326
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:36,100
they are students, they spent hair

327
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:37,100
summer doing things that normally

328
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:40,100
students don't do, instead they get

329
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:41,100
involved with their community.

330
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:44,100
the research, the issues, they

331
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,100
attended meetings, they talked to

332
00:14:46,100 --> 00:14:47,100
residents and gathered signatures,

333
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:50,100
they built the community support and

334
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,100
today they came before you, our

335
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:55,100
elected leaders, with that message.

336
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,100
now, I spent many years in public

337
00:14:57,100 --> 00:14:58,100
service like all of you.

338
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:00,100
I can tell you what I experienced

339
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:03,100
today is exactly what we want from our

340
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:06,100
young people, they became informed,

341
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:09,100
they chose to participate, to speak up

342
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:11,100
and believe in -- and I believe their

343
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:12,100
voices matter.

344
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:16,201
and to our interns, thank you, you

345
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:19,100
showed courage, you showed leadership

346
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:22,100
and regardless of what happens today,

347
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,100
you demonstrated something very

348
00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:26,100
important, democracy works best when

349
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:27,100
people show up.

350
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,100
thank you.

351
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,100

natallia and then I'll

356
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,100

00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,100
please begin.

358
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
natalia?

359
00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:57,100
is your hand raised online?

360
00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:59,100
last call.

361
00:16:07,221 --> 00:16:10,221
alright, that concludes public comment.

362
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,100
>> okay.

363
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,100
thank you.

364
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:21,801
with that, we will now -- I keep

365
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:26,100
misplacing my agenda here.

366
00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,100
okay, with that, I want to thank

367
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:30,100
everyone who shared a public comment.

368
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,100
we will now move on to take action to

369
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:37,201
set the agenda and approve the consent

370
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,100
agenda.

371
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,100
now bear with me, this one's

372
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:42,100
complicated, so, I would like to

373
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:45,100
suggest we move items 9 and 17

374
00:16:49,100 --> 00:16:52,100
together, so consider item 17 during

375
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:55,601
the discussion for item number 9 as

376
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:58,401
both items involve horizon.

377
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,100
item 17 is a resolution authorizing a

378
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:06,601
ground lease for real property located

379
00:17:07,100 --> 00:17:10,100
at 826 mahler road in burlingame.

380
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:12,100
I believe supervisor speier would like

381
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:14,100
item number 29 to be moved from

382
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:17,100
consent to regular agenda and I

383
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,100
propose we move that to the end of the

384
00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:21,100
regular agenda.

385
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:26,100
and I know health has requested that we

386
00:17:26,100 --> 00:17:30,100
pull item -- pull and defer item 32 to

387
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:32,100
a later meeting.

388
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:37,801
can I get a motion to approve this

389
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:41,100
agenda?

390
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:45,201
to set this agenda and approve the

391
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:48,100
consent agenda.

392
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:52,801
>> I have one other item that I don't

393
00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:54,100
want to move but draw attention to,

394
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:57,601
that's item 24 which is an agreement

395
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:02,100
with a company that has had the

396
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,100
contract since 2006.

397
00:18:04,100 --> 00:18:07,601
it's become an evergreen contract and

398
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:12,100
I think as we look to the ways in

399
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,100
which we'll be tightening our belts,

400
00:18:14,100 --> 00:18:17,100
we need to look at these contracts

401
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:19,100
which historically are just renewed

402
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:21,100
decade after decade, so I wanted to

403
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:24,100
draw attention to that, with that, I

404
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:27,100
will move the changes you've requested.

405
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:29,100
>> thank you.

406
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:30,100
roll call vote, please.

407
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:31,100
>> supervisor speier?

408
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:33,100
>> aye.

409
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:34,100
>> supervisor mueller?

410
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:35,100
>> yes.

411
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:36,100
>> supervisor gauthier?

412
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,100
>> yes.

413
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:38,100
>> supervisor canepa?

414
00:18:38,100 --> 00:18:39,100
>> aye.

415
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,100
>> president corzo?

416
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:41,100
>> yes.

417
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:42,100
>> motion passes.

418
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,100
>> okay, thank you.

419
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:49,401
with that, we will now move on to item

420
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:56,801
number 1, and I will hand it over to

421
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:00,100
supervisor speier and county executive

422
00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:04,601
callagy to present a resolution to

423
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:06,100
kitty lopez.

424
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:10,100
>> thank you, madam president, it's a great

425
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,100
honor today to celebrate one of the

426
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,100
great advocates in san mateo county.

427
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:18,201
a great advocate for the vulnerable, a

428
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,100
life truly dedicated to raising up

429
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:23,100
those in need.

430
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:26,100
I have had the pleasure of working

431
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:29,100
with kitty lopez both at samaritan

432
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:33,100
house and also on the board of first 5.

433
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:37,100
I think that she has truly been

434
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:41,100
remarkable in how she has led her

435
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:44,100
career on behalf of county residents.

436
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:48,100
kitty, you have a moral compass that

437
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:49,100
has never wavered.

438
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:52,601
you are a true humanitarian and

439
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,100
paraphrasing vice-president humphrey,

440
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:03,100
you have cared for those at the dawn

441
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:05,100
of their lives and those living in

442
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,100
the shadows of their lives, the sick,

443
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:10,100
the needy and the handicapped and we

444
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:12,100
will forever be indebted to you for

445
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:15,601
the service you've provided in our

446
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,100
county.

447
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:22,100
>> madam president, can I add a few

448
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:23,100
words?

449
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:24,100
>> of course.

450
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:27,601
>> I've known kitty for over 25 years

451
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:32,100
now and certainly got to know her

452
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,100
wonderful husband, jeff, also,

453
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:37,801
who was a professor of mine up at

454
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:47,100
notre dame, kitty's life has been

455
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:50,601
about service, she was an incredible

456
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:54,100
director at samaritan house, reaching

457
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:57,601
beyond what john kelly and others

458
00:21:00,100 --> 00:21:01,100
before her accomplished and she really

459
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:05,801
se a path for herself in in serving

460
00:21:06,100 --> 00:21:08,100
members of this county for years to

461
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:09,100
come.

462
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,100
when she came to the first 5, it was

463
00:21:12,100 --> 00:21:14,100
the good fortune of the county to

464
00:21:14,100 --> 00:21:16,100
get somebody of this quality, somebody

465
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,100
who's difficult to say no to at

466
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:20,100
times but has the best interest of the

467
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:23,100
community at heart whose carrying on

468
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:25,100
this job with very serious work but

469
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:28,100
did it with a sense of humor and as a

470
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:31,601
great leader bringing others along and

471
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:35,601
lifting up others under her guidance.

472
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:38,100
it has been nothing short of a

473
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:41,601
pleasure working with kitty all these

474
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:46,201
years and as you head into noted

475
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:51,100
retirement but what are you calling it?

476
00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:53,100
>> preferment.

477
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:54,100
>> there you go.

478
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:58,100
that's a sense of humor I'm talking

479
00:21:58,100 --> 00:21:59,100
about.

480
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,100
I would ask you to reflect on all

481
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:04,100
the lives you impacted and all the

482
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:05,100
people you served in this county

483
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:06,100
throughout these years.

484
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:08,100
that is an incredible legacy that will

485
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:10,100
be established for years and years to

486
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:12,100
come, so thank you so much for all you

487
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:15,100
have done for this county.

488
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:17,100
>> thank you.

489
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:19,100
>> thank you.

490
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:20,100
>> sorry, just one second.

491
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,100
you will have the last word, kitty, I

492
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:24,100
promise.

493
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:26,100
I just wanted to share a few words as

494
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:27,100
well.

495
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:29,100
I got to serve on the first 5

496
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:32,100
commission with you, kitty, for about

497
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:36,100
three -- no, two years, two years, I

498
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:38,100
believe, and during that time, it was

499
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:42,100
such a pleasure to work with you and

500
00:22:42,100 --> 00:22:43,100
one of my favorite

501
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,000
things about being on that

502
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,100
commission was really knowing it was

503
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,100
one of the few commissions that I did

504
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,100
not have to worry about at all because

505
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:55,100
that commission was run and led by you

506
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:57,100
in your very capable hands and not

507
00:22:57,100 --> 00:23:00,100
only did I not have to worry but I had

508
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:04,201
such faith in your leadership and in

509
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:12,601
your equity focus and the shared

510
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,100
leadership that you had, the amazing

511
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:17,100
team, the trust that you built,

512
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:19,401
the shared decision-making, the

513
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:22,100
community focus, the true focus on

514
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:25,601
kids, on community, on families that

515
00:23:27,100 --> 00:23:29,100
was evident in every single decision

516
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:32,100
that was made, the transparency, it

517
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,100
really just was like the example of

518
00:23:35,100 --> 00:23:39,100
how to make really good decisions for

519
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:41,100
kids for our littlest ones in a way

520
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:45,100
that I think is a true model to other

521
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:47,100
organizations, so thank you for doing

522
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:48,100
that.

523
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:52,100
thank you for creating that model, for

524
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:55,100
leaving it in very capable hands and I

525
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:58,100
know you're going to enjoy your

526
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,100
preferment and you won't be too far

527
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,100
and I'm just grateful for the work

528
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:06,201
that you have done and, yeah, thank

529
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:09,100
you so much.

530
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,100
I don't know if any of my colleagues

531
00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:12,100
want to share.

532
00:24:12,100 --> 00:24:14,100
kitty will have the last word.

533
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,100
>> sure, I want to say to kitty, you

534
00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:18,100
know, thank you for leading with

535
00:24:18,100 --> 00:24:20,100
heart, for taking care of those who

536
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,100
are most vulnerable who needed that

537
00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:24,100
support.

538
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,100
I will miss you, well, I don't --

539
00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:29,601
hopefully you'll be going to progress

540
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:33,100
because you were my dance partner.

541
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:34,100
but you know, I just want to say

542
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:35,100
congratulations on preferment, I love

543
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,100
that idea to be able to do what you

544
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,100
prefer, all along, I think you've done

545
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:41,100
what you've preferred because you've

546
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:42,100
been taking care of individuals this

547
00:24:42,100 --> 00:24:44,100
whole time.

548
00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:45,100
congratulations on reaching this

549
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:49,100
milestone, I hope to see you at next

550
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:50,100
progress.

551
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:51,100
>> kitty, I want to thank you for your

552
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:52,100
service.

553
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:54,100
I think about the staff, the

554
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:55,100
development, michelle blackly who I

555
00:24:55,100 --> 00:24:57,100
knew for a long time through star

556
00:24:57,100 --> 00:25:00,100
vista, I think you've always had a

557
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:01,100
collaborative approach and really

558
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:05,100
working with the boards, I served on

559
00:25:05,100 --> 00:25:08,100
the board very, very briefly but I saw

560
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,100
how you've conducted yourself and your

561
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:14,100
preferment is well deserved, so thank

562
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:15,100
you, madam chair.

563
00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:17,401
>> please go ahead, kitty.

564
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:21,601
>> first of all, thank you, supervisor

565
00:25:22,100 --> 00:25:25,601
corzo and supervisor speier and fellow

566
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:28,100
supervisors, mike callagy, yes, it's

567
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:31,100
kind of freaky to know that both mike

568
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:33,100
and supervisor speier have known me so

569
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:36,100
long, 25 years, if you combine my work

570
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:39,100
at samaritan house and first 5.

571
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:45,100
it has been an honor.

572
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:49,201
I wasn't going to get e-mail, but

573
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:53,100
that's hard for me to not do.

574
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:54,100
but it's been an honor to serve in

575
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,100
this county in the two primary

576
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:59,601
prolepses I've had at samaritan house

577
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:03,100
working with folks in need and then at

578
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:05,100
first 5.

579
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:09,801
and the through line in that, that was

580
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:12,100
very purposeful, running samaritan

581
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:14,100
house and building that organization

582
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:17,100
to be a primary safety net provider

583
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:20,100
but I always wanted to find out how

584
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:23,100
can we -- of course it's great to have

585
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:25,100
our non-profit partners but I want to

586
00:26:25,100 --> 00:26:27,100
find out how can we do things

587
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:30,100
differently for our young children and

588
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:34,100
their families to help them grow and

589
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:36,401
thrive without necessarily needing

590
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:38,100
services.

591
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:40,100
it's hard to do in today's world

592
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:43,100
because everybody needs money and

593
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:46,100
support and not everybody has it.

594
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:48,100
but I learned that all the research

595
00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:50,100
says you have to start when children

596
00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:52,100
are young and I still believe that and

597
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:55,100
the research still shows that.

598
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,100
I learned all of this from my father

599
00:26:57,100 --> 00:27:00,100
who was an immigrant to this country

600
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:03,100
many, many years ago from mexico,

601
00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:06,100
studied medicine at usc and built a

602
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:08,100
family practice in los angeles, he was

603
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:11,100
a family doctor for over 40 years on

604
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:12,100
hollywood boulevard.

605
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,100
and yes, there were stories, I might

606
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:17,100
have to kill you if I told you, but

607
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:19,100
everybody knew hill and he knew

608
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:22,100
everybody and he delivered everybody's

609
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,100
babies and helped folks, aging parents

610
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:28,100
and all the ages in between.

611
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:30,100
and he believed in what could be

612
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,100
possible and how could we all do it

613
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:33,100
together.

614
00:27:33,100 --> 00:27:35,100
and that's sort of my motto, I love

615
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:38,100
that word possibility and how can we

616
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:41,100
build possibility for our kids and

617
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,100
families, particularly for those who

618
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,100
are farthest from it.

619
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:48,100
that's our role and I hope that that

620
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,100
work continues.

621
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:53,100
thank you so very much for this honor.

622
00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:54,100

00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:06,100

summer interns, mia burko who worked

695
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,100
on this proclamation.

696
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:35,401
august 31 is recognized as

697
00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,401
international overdose awareness day.

00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:45,100
we stand families who are still

699

grieving them and to acknowledge the

700
00:31:50,100 --> 00:31:53,100
crisis that reached every community,

701
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:54,100
we need to talk about this openly.

702
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:57,100
I want to recognize healing overdose

703
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:59,401
prevention and education hope,

704
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:03,100

and clarence davis whose annual walk

706
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:10,100
is this saturday august 29, I want to

00:32:10,100 --> 00:32:12,100
invite you to join hope's walk and

delmar pacifica, it's so moving, there

710
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:23,100
are so many families present there

711
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:24,100
with pictures of those they've lost.

712
00:32:24,100 --> 00:32:27,601
hope has been able to install

713
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:30,100
lifesaving narcan dispensers.

714
00:32:35,100 --> 00:32:37,100
this weekend we'll be donating more

715
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:40,100
boxes of narcan to hope.

716
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:43,100
easier access to narcan reduces

717
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:45,100
overdose rates and saves life.

718
00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:48,601
we believe providing narcan in public

719
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:51,100
spaces recognizes substance use

720
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:54,601
disorder as a public health issues.

years as a correctional dentist in the

729
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:23,100
main detention facility where the

730
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:26,100
specialized clinic became a clinic

731
00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:27,100
for institutional settings and it was

732
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:30,100
there she saw the impact of this

733
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,100
problem.

this year's theme is 25 years on still

749
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:08,100
needed, marking 25 years since its

750
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:13,100
inception in 2001, but that tagline

751
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:17,100
still challenges us to ask this

752
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,100
question why is this day still needed.

753
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:22,100
this day is still needed buzz overdose

754
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:23,100
death rates remain high in the united

755
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:24,100
states.

756
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:27,100
according to provisional data from the

757
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:29,100
centers of disease control, in 2025,

758
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:31,401
there were 69 thousand 973 americans

759
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:37,100
who lost their lives from a drug

760
00:34:37,100 --> 00:34:38,100
overdose.

761
00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:40,100
now this tragedy is not just a

762
00:34:40,100 --> 00:34:42,100
national tragedy, we see it here in

763
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:43,100
san mateo county.

764
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:45,100
according to the california overdose

765
00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:47,401
surveillance dashboard in 2024, there

766
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:51,100
were 54 individuals who died from an

767
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:52,100
opioid involved overdose.

768
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:55,601
the majority of sourdoughs do involve

769
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:58,100
synthetic opioids, specifically

770
00:34:59,100 --> 00:35:00,100
fentanyl.

771
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,100
this day is still needed because

772
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,100
overdoses are a preventable cause of

773
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:06,100
death.

774
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,100
now, an overdose is when a drug or a

775
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:09,100
combination of drugs exceeds the

776
00:35:09,100 --> 00:35:12,100
brain's ability to regulate body

777
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:14,100
temperature, heart rate, consciousness

778
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:16,100
and breathing.

779
00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:19,100
and in an overdose, breathing slows

780
00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:20,100
down or stops.

781
00:35:20,100 --> 00:35:23,100
and then the count down between

782
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:26,100
survival and death begins, one minute,

783
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:29,100
two minutes, three minutes, there's

784
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:31,100
mental confusion, four minutes, five

785
00:35:31,100 --> 00:35:33,100
minutes, six minutes, brain cells

786
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:36,100
begin to die, 7 minutes, 8 minutes, 9

787
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:41,100
minutes, there's ir referable brain

788
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:43,100
damage.

789
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:44,100
after ten minutes, brain death can

790
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,100
occur.

791
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:46,100
it's what happened in those precious

792
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,100
moments that makes the decision and

793
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:50,401
determination between survival and

794
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:52,100
death.

795
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:54,100
first a bystander needs to be able to

796
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:57,601
recognize the signs of an opioid

797
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:02,601

the by standard to administer narcan,

803
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,100
a lifesaving method.

804
00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,100
the bystander needs the stay within

the individual, perform cpr if trained

806
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:28,100
to do so and if it's indicated and way

807
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:31,100

808
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:34,100
narcan is a preventable cause of death.

809
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:37,100
this day is still needed because

810
00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,100
stigma related barriers decrease

811
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:40,100
individual's access for

812
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:42,100
receiving the treatment they need.

813
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:45,100
in 2024, according to the national

814
00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:46,100
survey on drug use and health, only

815
00:36:46,100 --> 00:36:49,100
one out of every five americans 12

816
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:52,100
years and older who needed substance

817
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:55,100
use treatment received substance use

818
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:56,100
treatment.

819
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,100
the adults surveyed in the study cited

820
00:36:58,100 --> 00:37:01,100
worry as the reason why they didn't

821
00:37:01,100 --> 00:37:04,100
seek treatment, worry about what

822
00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:05,100
people would think, worry about what

823
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:08,100
people would say, it's reducing stigma,

824
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:09,100
providing compassionate care,

825
00:37:09,100 --> 00:37:12,100
meeting people where they're at,

826
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:16,100
encouraging people with substance use

827
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:19,100
disorders to get treatment what they

828
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:22,100
need and reduce the substance use

829
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:23,100
overdoses.

830
00:37:23,100 --> 00:37:25,100
this work needs to be done.

831
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:28,601
in 2024, the board held a special

832
00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:33,100
session and they had bhrs to have stop

833
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:34,100
measures.

834
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:37,100
we have done that in collaboration

835
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,100
with the overdose prevention coalition.

836
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:42,601
we have distributed 3223 boxes in the

837
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:47,100
lock zone out into the community.

838
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,100
every box represents potential.

839
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,100
every box represents hope that a life

840
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:54,100
can be saved but, board, there's more

841
00:37:54,100 --> 00:37:57,100
work for us to do, we need your help

842
00:37:57,100 --> 00:38:00,100
to identify spaces and places in your

843
00:38:00,100 --> 00:38:02,100
district to expand a lock zone

844
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:03,100
distribution efforts.

845
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:07,100
in cosigning, I -- closing, I do want

846
00:38:07,100 --> 00:38:10,100
to share with you the tagline for this

847
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:12,100
year's theme, it says even though this

848
00:38:12,100 --> 00:38:15,100
day is still needed, it doesn't have

849
00:38:15,100 --> 00:38:17,100
to be forever.

850
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,100
let's strive on not making this

851
00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:20,100
forever.

852
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:21,100
I appreciate the time.

853
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,100
thank you.

854
00:38:24,100 --> 00:38:26,100
[applause].

855
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:30,100
>> with that, I will go ahead and move

856
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:31,100
the proclamation forward.

857
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:32,100
>> second.

858
00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:34,100
>> supervisor speier?

859
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:38,100
>> aye.

860
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,100
>> supervisor mueller?

861
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:42,100
>> we haven't taken public comment and

862
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:43,100
I wanted to say something briefly.

863
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:47,100
did you want to say something as well?

864
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,100
>> go ahead, supervisor speier?

865
00:38:48,100 --> 00:38:51,100
>> I want to thank dr. Brown.

866
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:54,100
she was kind enough to come and do a a

867
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:58,100
brown bag lunch for our interns, they

868
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:01,100
were very impressed and your message

869
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:04,100
about bystander engagement is so

870
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:06,100
important as we deal with this crisis,

871
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:08,100
so thank you.

872
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:10,100
>> thank you.

873
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:13,100
I just wanted to briefly say that I

874
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:15,100
got the opportunity to see dr. Brown

875
00:39:15,100 --> 00:39:17,100
in action one day.

876
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:19,100
I'm forgetting the name of the

877
00:39:19,100 --> 00:39:20,100
organization and the walk, but

878
00:39:20,100 --> 00:39:23,100
supervisor mueller was there and

879
00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:24,100
pacifica.

880
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:27,100
it was -- what was it called?

881
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:28,100
hope.

882
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:31,100
hope had a walk and it was very moving.

883
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:35,801
there was a walk to honor people who

884
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:43,100
had overdosed and it was family

885
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:45,100
members and even strangers carrying

886
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:47,100
the pictures of folks that had

887
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:49,100
overdosed but there was a training

888
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:53,100
that dr. Brown did at this community

889
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:55,100
event and the training was excellent,

890
00:39:55,100 --> 00:39:58,100
so much so that like a member of my

891
00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:01,100
team and I sat down and actually

892
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:03,100
listened to the majority of the

893
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:07,801
training and learned so much and so if

894
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:09,100
anyone here ever gets the opportunity

895
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:12,100
to take one of these training, please

896
00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:15,100
do so, it is so worth it and I wanted

897
00:40:15,100 --> 00:40:19,100
to share as well that I personally do

898
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:23,100
carry in a lock zone in my car, our

899
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:24,100
team carries in the lock zone in our

900
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:28,100
tabling and office hours box and I

901
00:40:28,100 --> 00:40:32,201
know that our county had the intention

902
00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:37,201
of having a distribution box in front

903
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,100
of the courthouse and that didn't work

904
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:44,801
out for some reason but I would like

905
00:40:45,100 --> 00:40:47,100
to share the idea that why don't we

906
00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:49,100
just put like a sign up there and put

907
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:51,100
the box in front of this building and

908
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,100
we can put a sign over there and

909
00:40:52,100 --> 00:40:54,100
can know that we have one

910
00:40:54,100 --> 00:40:57,100
here and they can walk over and get

911
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:59,100
one and let's make that more

912
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:00,100
accessible.

913
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:03,100
I also think we can put some at other

914
00:41:03,100 --> 00:41:05,100
sites, but we can do that, you know,

915
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:07,100
if there are places that aren't

916
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:11,801
willing to have the box, we can still

917
00:41:12,100 --> 00:41:15,100
get -- overcome those barriers.

918
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:17,100
so, thank you.

919
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:19,100
and did anyone else want to make

920
00:41:19,100 --> 00:41:20,100
comments?

921
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:21,100
supervisor gauthier?

922
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:22,100
>> I want to say, dr. Brown, thank you

923
00:41:22,100 --> 00:41:23,100
for your presentation.

924
00:41:23,100 --> 00:41:25,100
I would love to have you come to

925
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:28,100
district 4 and meet with some of our

926
00:41:28,100 --> 00:41:29,100
non-profits.

927
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:31,100
I know that there are families that

928
00:41:31,100 --> 00:41:34,100
are streamlining right -- dealing

929
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:39,100
right now in the hospital trying to

930
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:41,100
recover from a drug overdose, keeping

931
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:42,100
them in mind.

932
00:41:42,100 --> 00:41:44,100
I appreciate you coming here, we need

933
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:46,100
to understand more and educate our

international overdose awareness day

951
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:25,100
is an important reminder of the lives

952
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:26,100
impacted by overdose and the work

953
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:29,100

00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:15,100
>> motion passes unanimous.

980
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:18,100
>> with that, we have a proclamation

>> we'll now present the proclamation.

983
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:24,100
( presenting proclamation ).

984
00:44:46,100 --> 00:44:49,601
>> okay, moving on to presentation of

985
00:44:50,100 --> 00:44:52,401
a proclamation designating august 26

986
00:44:53,100 --> 00:44:54,100
as women's equality day.

987
00:44:54,100 --> 00:44:56,100
supervisor gauthier?

988
00:44:59,100 --> 00:45:00,100
>> thank you, chair.

989
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:04,100
and I just want to recognize from this

990
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:05,100
dais, there are three women sitting

991
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:09,100
here so we should all take an

992
00:45:09,100 --> 00:45:10,100
opportunity to sponsor, I have words

993
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:12,100
on this item, I know supervisor

994
00:45:12,100 --> 00:45:15,100
speier, this was your item that you

995
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:18,100
brought forward to the county sometime

996
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:19,100
ago.

997
00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:22,100
so, today we recognize women equality

998
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:24,100
day, commemorating the certification

999
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:27,601
of the 19th amendment and 1920 which

1000
00:45:28,100 --> 00:45:29,100
recognized women's constitutional

1001
00:45:29,100 --> 00:45:30,100
right to vote.

1002
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:33,100
the 19th amendment was a landmark

1003
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:35,100
achievement with a fight for equality

1004
00:45:35,100 --> 00:45:37,100
did not end with women gaining the

1005
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:39,100
right to vote.

1006
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:41,100
many women, particularly women of

1007
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:44,100
color continued to fight significant

1008
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:47,100
barriers to voting and civic

1009
00:45:47,100 --> 00:45:48,100
participation for decades.

1010
00:45:48,100 --> 00:45:51,601
women's equality day is a reminder

1011
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:53,100
that representation matters, when

1012
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:56,100
women are able to participate fully in

1013
00:45:56,100 --> 00:45:59,100
our democracy and serve in leadership,

1014
00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:01,100
our communities benefit from a

1015
00:46:01,100 --> 00:46:04,100
broader range of experience and

1016
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:06,100
perspectives.

1017
00:46:06,100 --> 00:46:07,100
as elected officials, we have the

1018
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:10,100
responsibility to ensure that women and

1019
00:46:10,100 --> 00:46:13,100
girls across san mateo county have

1020
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:15,100
opportunities to participate, lead and

1021
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:17,100
have their voices heard in the

1022
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:18,100
decisions that affect their families

1023
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:20,100
and communities.

1024
00:46:21,100 --> 00:46:23,100
equality also means addressing the

1025
00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:26,601
barriers that continue to affect women

1026
00:46:27,100 --> 00:46:29,100
including economic opportunities,

1027
00:46:29,100 --> 00:46:32,100
access to education, affordable child

1028
00:46:33,100 --> 00:46:34,100
care, housing stability and

1029
00:46:34,100 --> 00:46:36,100
opportunities for leadership.

1030
00:46:38,100 --> 00:46:40,100
we should especially encourage women

1031
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:43,100
and girls to see themselves as future

1032
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:44,100
leaders.

1033
00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:46,100
whether in government, business,

1034
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:49,100
education, public service or their

1035
00:46:49,100 --> 00:46:51,100
communities, women's equality day is

1036
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:53,100
both a celebration of how far we've

1037
00:46:53,100 --> 00:46:57,201
come and a reminder that our work

1038
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,100
toward full equality continues.

1039
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:02,100
we can honor this -- the women who

1040
00:47:02,100 --> 00:47:05,100
fought for the rights we have today

1041
00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:07,100
by continuing to create opportunities

1042
00:47:07,100 --> 00:47:10,100
for every woman and girl to

1043
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:12,401
participate, lead and thrive.

1044
00:47:14,100 --> 00:47:16,100
I'm going to ask my colleagues if you

1045
00:47:16,100 --> 00:47:18,100
would like to have words.

1046
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,100
>> thank you, and thank you,

1047
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:23,100
supervisor gauthier, for bringing this

1048
00:47:23,100 --> 00:47:25,100
resolution to our attention.

1049
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:29,201
today is the day in 1920 when women

1050
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:34,801
actually got the right to vote but I'm

1051
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:38,100
not going to talk about the past, I'm

1052
00:47:38,100 --> 00:47:40,100
going to talk about the future and I'm

1053
00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:44,801
going to put this on to show that

1054
00:47:46,100 --> 00:47:48,100
equal rights amendment has not passed

1055
00:47:48,100 --> 00:47:52,201
and we need to think about future.

1056
00:47:53,100 --> 00:47:56,100
it is 24 words, it has been introduced

1057
00:47:56,100 --> 00:47:59,100
in the congress of the united states

1058
00:47:59,100 --> 00:48:02,100
every single session and we have still

1059
00:48:02,100 --> 00:48:04,100
not passed it.

1060
00:48:06,100 --> 00:48:09,100
there are 165 countries around the

1061
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:13,100
world that have embraced the equal

1062
00:48:13,100 --> 00:48:15,401
rights amendment in their

1063
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:18,401
constitutions, that's 85% of the

1064
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:22,100
united nations members, only 10% of

1065
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:24,100
the countries have not.

1066
00:48:24,100 --> 00:48:28,100
and the united states is one of them.

1067
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:31,100
it's a shameful recognition that we

1068
00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:35,801
have not found the will to pass this

1069
00:48:36,100 --> 00:48:39,100
amendment and put it into our

1070
00:48:39,100 --> 00:48:40,100
constitution.

1071
00:48:40,100 --> 00:48:42,100
so, I wish the young women who were

1072
00:48:42,100 --> 00:48:43,100
here earlier could have been here for

1073
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:46,100
this so they recognize this is the

1074
00:48:46,100 --> 00:48:48,100
challenge for them and for all of us

1075
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:50,401
as we move forward.

1076
00:48:53,100 --> 00:48:55,100
>> thank you.

1077
00:48:57,100 --> 00:49:00,100
I want to thank you as well for

1078
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:02,100
bringing this forward.

1079
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:09,100
I think about the reality that young

1080
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:12,100
women today have seen the stripping of

1081
00:49:12,100 --> 00:49:15,100
some of the rights that women have

1082
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:19,201
fought so hard for in past generations

1083
00:49:22,100 --> 00:49:26,201
and I'm just filled with the emotion

1084
00:49:27,100 --> 00:49:31,801
that -- that the fight is not over,

1085
00:49:45,100 --> 00:49:48,601
right, that we'll see the pendulum

1086
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:55,100
swing back, that we will get that

1087
00:49:55,100 --> 00:49:56,100
passed, we will.

1088
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:59,601
I think we see especially in

1089
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:02,100
california, more women in the

1090
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:05,601
assembly, in the senate than ever

1091
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:11,100
before and the nation will follow in

1092
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:14,100
due time and we'll get there.

1093
00:50:14,100 --> 00:50:16,100
so, while I am filled with a little

1094
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:19,100
bit of sorrow, I'm filled with great

1095
00:50:19,100 --> 00:50:23,100
hope and the rights that women fought

1096
00:50:23,100 --> 00:50:27,801
for in the past, we will solidify and

1097
00:50:33,100 --> 00:50:36,100
build upon like we always have.

1098
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:40,100
I also want to take a moment to share

1099
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:44,100
kind of a dream of mine that I have

1100
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:48,100
and I'll give san francisco a quick

1101
00:50:48,100 --> 00:50:50,401
shout-out in this moment.

1102
00:50:52,100 --> 00:50:56,100
you know, I think about the right to

1103
00:50:56,100 --> 00:50:58,100
vote and how some of the

1104
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,100
vulnerabilities of the immigrant

1105
00:51:00,100 --> 00:51:02,100
community is due to the fact that they

1106
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:04,100
do not have a right to vote.

1107
00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:07,601
they don't have that political power

1108
00:51:08,100 --> 00:51:11,100
and san francisco does allow

1109
00:51:11,100 --> 00:51:12,100
undocumented people to vote in school

1110
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:15,100
board elections where their children

1111
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:17,100
are in schools and I think that's

1112
00:51:17,100 --> 00:51:21,100
admirable and that gives them a step

1113
00:51:21,100 --> 00:51:22,100
into a political process where they

1114
00:51:22,100 --> 00:51:26,100
have a lot of stake, they have a lot

1115
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:28,100
of stake in the game, so I want to

1116
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:33,401
kind of throw that idea out there as a

1117
00:51:34,100 --> 00:51:36,401
dream for this county.

1118
00:51:37,100 --> 00:51:41,201
and with that, I'll end my comments

1119
00:51:42,100 --> 00:51:44,100
here, but yeah, just kind of like

1120
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:48,100
feeling this moment of -- there' --

1121
00:51:48,100 --> 00:51:52,100
there's a lot of weight right now

1122
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:56,100
and as we're half way through this

1123
00:51:56,100 --> 00:51:58,100
current presidential term, I just -- I

1124
00:51:58,100 --> 00:52:02,100
have a lot of hope for when this

1125
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:04,100
presidential term is over and what we

1126
00:52:04,100 --> 00:52:06,100
can really get done when we get to

1127
00:52:06,100 --> 00:52:07,100
start a new chapter.

1128
00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:08,100
thank you.

1129
00:52:08,100 --> 00:52:10,100

1132
00:52:15,100 --> 00:52:19,100

1133
00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:20,100

[applause].

1140
00:52:32,100 --> 00:52:33,100
just such an amazing job.

1141
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:36,100
we really have extraordinary and

1142
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:39,100
competent leadership and I think this

1143
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,100
commission has made since I've been on

1144
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:44,100
this board an indelible mark in terms

1145
00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:47,601
of not only women's lives but

1146
00:52:49,100 --> 00:52:51,100
children's lives and residents' lives

1147
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:53,100
in general, it's been a high

1148
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:56,100
functioning commission that has been

1149
00:52:58,100 --> 00:52:59,100

1150
00:52:59,100 --> 00:53:01,100

I often say when you know better, you

1170
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:50,100
in the united states, we know bet and

1171
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:52,100
her we have refused to have equal

1172
00:53:52,100 --> 00:53:53,100
rights.

1173
00:53:53,100 --> 00:53:57,100
I would like to invite my sisters in

1174
00:53:57,100 --> 00:53:59,100

>> thank you.

1178
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:10,100
good morning, honorable supervisors,

1179
00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:11,100
county executives and staff.

1180
00:54:11,100 --> 00:54:15,201
my name is anne gerard, the president

1181
00:54:16,100 --> 00:54:17,100
of the commission on the status of

1182
00:54:17,100 --> 00:54:20,601
women and I'm joined by vice-president

1183
00:54:22,100 --> 00:54:24,100
lasanadra gutter.

1184
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:26,100
we bring hope and we want to thank you

1185
00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:29,100
for all the support you have given us,

1186
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:31,100
for the initiatives we continue to

1187
00:54:31,100 --> 00:54:33,100
advocate for but we are working

1188
00:54:33,100 --> 00:54:35,100
together to improve the lives of women

1189
00:54:35,100 --> 00:54:38,100
and families in the county.

1190
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:40,100
but most recently, your efforts to

1191
00:54:40,100 --> 00:54:42,401
personally meet with stakeholders

1192
00:54:43,100 --> 00:54:46,100
about child care, the allocation of

1193
00:54:46,100 --> 00:54:49,100
measure k funds for the baby bonus,

1194
00:54:49,100 --> 00:54:52,100
the investment of 10 million dollars

1195
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:55,601
and the one stop navigation portal,

1196
00:54:56,100 --> 00:54:59,100
the trishare pilot program and the

1197
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:03,201
ongoing work to reduce the pay equity

1198
00:55:05,100 --> 00:55:06,100
gap which currently is 4% in the

1199
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:07,100
county.

1200
00:55:07,100 --> 00:55:09,100
we have work to do there and on the

1201
00:55:09,100 --> 00:55:10,100
era.

1202
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:13,100
but we're here today together with our

1203
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:16,100
commission members and supporters to

1204
00:55:16,100 --> 00:55:19,100
celebrate the 19th amendment to the

1205
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:21,100
u.s. Constitution which granted women

1206
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:22,100
the right to vote.

1207
00:55:22,100 --> 00:55:24,100
but there's a really important part of

1208
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:27,601
that history that needs to be

1209
00:55:28,100 --> 00:55:29,100
acknowledged.

1210
00:55:29,100 --> 00:55:32,100
>> good morning, board and the

1211
00:55:32,100 --> 00:55:34,100
executive team, so my name's lasandra

1212
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:38,100
gutter and I do feel like my comments

1213
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:41,100
have been said already but I feel

1214
00:55:41,100 --> 00:55:43,100
they're important so I'm going to say

1215
00:55:43,100 --> 00:55:45,100
them again.

1216
00:55:45,100 --> 00:55:47,100
as we recognize women's equality

1217
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:50,100
day, the ratification of the 19th

1218
00:55:50,100 --> 00:55:52,100
amendment and the women who fought

1219
00:55:52,100 --> 00:55:56,100
courageously for the right to vote, we

1220
00:55:56,100 --> 00:55:59,100
must also remember that native

1221
00:56:00,100 --> 00:56:03,100
american, black, asian, latina and

1222
00:56:04,100 --> 00:56:07,601
immigrant women were among those left

1223
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:10,100
behind.

1224
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:12,100
discrimination and jim crow laws were

1225
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:15,100
very active during that period in our

1226
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:17,100
history, silencing many voices, voting

1227
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:19,401
is having a voice.

1228
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:25,100
so, today I wonder how many women

1229
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:27,100
sitting in chambers would have been

1230
00:56:27,100 --> 00:56:30,100
afforded the opportunity to vote to

1231
00:56:30,100 --> 00:56:32,100
use her voice?

1232
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:36,100
well, the commission on the status of

1233
00:56:36,100 --> 00:56:40,100
women is hosting an event today at the

1234
00:56:40,100 --> 00:56:42,100
burlingame community center from 4:30

1235
00:56:42,100 --> 00:56:44,100
to 6:00.

1236
00:56:44,100 --> 00:56:47,100
we're in collaboration with kqed and

1237
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:49,100
we will be presenting a panel on

1238
00:56:49,100 --> 00:56:52,100
affordability in san mateo county

1239
00:56:53,100 --> 00:56:56,100
giving real-life examples of how

1240
00:56:56,100 --> 00:56:59,100
voting can impact communities for the

1241
00:56:59,100 --> 00:57:00,100
better.

1242
00:57:00,100 --> 00:57:02,100
this is in keeping with the

1243
00:57:02,100 --> 00:57:04,100
commission's focus on economic

1244
00:57:04,100 --> 00:57:07,100
empowerment of women and we hope that

1245
00:57:07,100 --> 00:57:09,100
the board and everyone in the room

1246
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:12,100
gets the opportunity to come today or

1247
00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:15,100
I know we're going to have it

1248
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,100
streamed, to watch it because ut's

1249
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:18,100
going to be important and it's going to

1250
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:19,100
be fun because we're all going to be

1251
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:22,100
there, so thank you so much.

1252
00:57:22,100 --> 00:57:24,100
>> thank you, lasandra.

1253
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:26,100
I think you've got the message that

1254
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:29,100
we're talking about voting and we hope

1255
00:57:29,100 --> 00:57:31,100
everyone exercises their right this

1256
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:34,100
year and every year but we want to

1257
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:37,100
inspire you, we have a video that we

1258
00:57:37,100 --> 00:57:39,401
have produced with supervisor

1259
00:57:40,100 --> 00:57:43,100
gauthier's can-do attitude and her

1260
00:57:46,100 --> 00:57:49,100
staff, bridgett berry, I'm not sure

1261
00:57:49,100 --> 00:57:51,100
she's here, bridgett, you could stand

1262
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:53,100
up.

1263
00:57:54,100 --> 00:57:55,100
[applause].

1264
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:56,100
bridgett shared her talents with us,

1265
00:57:56,100 --> 00:57:59,100
so we'll let it roll.

1266
00:57:59,100 --> 00:58:01,100
( playing video ).

1267
00:58:03,100 --> 00:58:07,100
>> I feel like I can make a difference.

1268
00:58:07,100 --> 00:58:08,100
>> all votes matter.

1269
00:58:08,100 --> 00:58:10,100
>> my voice deserves to be heard and

1270
00:58:10,100 --> 00:58:11,100
will shape the future.

1271
00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:14,100
>> I wasn't born with this right, I

1272
00:58:14,100 --> 00:58:16,100
chose to become an american and voting

1273
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:19,100
is one way to honor that choice.

1274
00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:21,100
>> voting is the foundation of our

1275
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:22,100
democracy.

1276
00:58:22,100 --> 00:58:24,100
>> because it's the cornerstone of

1277
00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:25,100
democracy.

1278
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:26,100
>> every vote matters, what may seem

1279
00:58:26,100 --> 00:58:30,801
one vote if in hundreds of millions is

1280
00:58:31,100 --> 00:58:32,100
inconsequential, together they make a

1281
00:58:32,100 --> 00:58:34,100
huge difference.

1282
00:58:34,100 --> 00:58:37,100
>> my daughter's daughter's daughter is

1283
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:38,100
inheriting this.

1284
00:58:38,100 --> 00:58:39,100
>> I feel it's particularly important

1285
00:58:39,100 --> 00:58:41,100
for me to be a voice for immigrants

1286
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:42,100
especially since so many of us don't

1287
00:58:42,100 --> 00:58:44,100
have the right to vote.

1288
00:58:44,100 --> 00:58:45,100
>> just because I matter.

1289
00:58:45,100 --> 00:58:49,801
>> in a time where there is so much

1290
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:53,100
[inaudible]

1291
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:55,100
>> when I think of voting, I think of

1292
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:56,100
the word matter.

1293
00:58:56,100 --> 00:58:59,100
matter means you take up space and I

1294
00:58:59,100 --> 00:59:01,100
proudly take up space to share my

1295
00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:03,401
voice and to vote.

1296
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:05,100
>> my parents and grandparents use

1297
00:59:05,100 --> 00:59:07,100
their vote to make a better life for

1298
00:59:07,100 --> 00:59:08,100
me.

1299

1376
01:03:16,100 --> 01:03:19,100
this year's theme, the weight we

1377
01:03:19,100 --> 01:03:21,100
carry recognizes that many people,

1378
01:03:21,100 --> 01:03:23,100
particularly men and boy of diverse

1379
01:03:23,100 --> 01:03:25,100
sexual orientations and gender

1380
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:27,100
identities may carry invisible burdens

1381
01:03:27,100 --> 01:03:30,601
such as emotional pain, stress, grief,

1382
01:03:31,100 --> 01:03:33,100
isolation and social expectations.

1383
01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:35,100
consistent with the state governor's

1384
01:03:35,100 --> 01:03:38,601
executive order and 31-25 and the

1385
01:03:40,100 --> 01:03:42,100
board's 2024 resolution recognizing

1386
01:03:44,100 --> 01:03:46,100
loneliness as a public health crisis,

1387
01:03:46,100 --> 01:03:47,100
this observance calls on our community

1388
01:03:47,100 --> 01:03:49,100

1389
01:03:49,100 --> 01:03:52,100
and social connection and ensure that

1390
01:03:52,100 --> 01:03:53,100
no one carries these burdens alone.

>> good morning, suicide prevention

1446
01:06:31,100 --> 01:06:34,100
month is to honor people affected by

1447
01:06:34,100 --> 01:06:35,100

the colors, purple and teal, represent

1450
01:06:44,100 --> 01:06:46,100

1451
01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:48,100
suicide can be prevented, suicide

1452
01:06:48,100 --> 01:06:51,100

1453
01:06:51,100 --> 01:06:54,100
and safely about suicide can save

1454
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:55,100
lives.

1455
01:06:55,100 --> 01:06:57,100
so we want to reduce the shame and

1456
01:06:57,100 --> 01:06:59,100
increase connection so we can lighten

1457
01:06:59,100 --> 01:07:02,100

1458
01:07:02,100 --> 01:07:05,601
carrying and encourage them to seek

1459
01:07:06,100 --> 01:07:07,100
support.

1460
01:07:07,100 --> 01:07:09,100
throughout september, the suicide

1461
01:07:09,100 --> 01:07:11,100

1462
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:13,100

01:07:17,100 --> 01:07:18,100
website.

1466
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:20,100
beyond september, we invite community

1467
01:07:20,100 --> 01:07:21,100
participation in our suicide

1468
01:07:21,100 --> 01:07:23,100
prevention committee for the county

1469
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,100
which provides guidance and oversight

1470
01:07:25,100 --> 01:07:28,100
for suicide prevention throughout the

1471
01:07:28,100 --> 01:07:30,100
county.

1472
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:32,100
every resident can help prevent

1473
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:36,100
suicide and we can to that by three

1474
01:07:36,100 --> 01:07:38,100
key ways, one is learning the

1475
01:07:38,100 --> 01:07:39,100
warning signs, two is knowing how to

1476
01:07:39,100 --> 01:07:41,100
start a supportive conversation

1477
01:07:41,100 --> 01:07:44,100
and three, connecting someone to

1478
01:07:45,100 --> 01:07:46,100
support.

1479
01:07:46,100 --> 01:07:47,100
key areas of support are local

1480
01:07:47,100 --> 01:07:49,401
resources including the 988 suicide

1481
01:07:50,100 --> 01:07:52,100
and crisis lifeline, alternatives to

1482
01:07:52,100 --> 01:07:54,100
suicide peer support which is

1483
01:07:54,100 --> 01:07:57,100
available for adults and youth and

1484
01:07:57,100 --> 01:07:59,401
suicide law support group.

1485
01:08:00,100 --> 01:08:02,100
we have great educational training and

1486
01:08:02,100 --> 01:08:05,100
presentations by our partners as well

1487
01:08:05,100 --> 01:08:07,100
and one key thing if you can't

1488
01:08:07,100 --> 01:08:10,100
remember, anything I say is if you

1489
01:08:10,100 --> 01:08:13,601
know anyone who is in emotional

1490
01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:16,100
distress or thinking about suicide,

1491
01:08:16,100 --> 01:08:17,100
please call 988, it could be for

1492
01:08:17,100 --> 01:08:21,100
yourself or it could be for your loved

1493
01:08:21,100 --> 01:08:22,100
one.

1494
01:08:22,100 --> 01:08:26,100
and so I would like to -- we've

1495
01:08:26,100 --> 01:08:27,100
invited michael to share a brief

1496
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:29,100
reflection of why this year's theme

1497
01:08:29,100 --> 01:08:32,100
for suicide prevention is important to

1498
01:08:32,100 --> 01:08:36,100
him and I'm hoping the video will

1499
01:08:36,100 --> 01:08:37,100
work.

1500
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:39,100
>> hello, my name is michael

1501
01:08:39,100 --> 01:08:42,100
coutts, I'm a san mateo county

1502
01:08:42,100 --> 01:08:45,100
resident, a marine corps veteran,

1503
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:49,100
current navy reservist, an legislate

1504
01:08:50,100 --> 01:08:51,100
rising's union apprentice as well as a

1505
01:08:51,100 --> 01:08:54,100
mental health advocate, I serener five

1506
01:08:54,100 --> 01:08:58,201
years as an infantry man including two

1507
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:02,100
deployments, and service members,

1508
01:09:02,100 --> 01:09:03,100
first responders, veterans, I know

1509
01:09:03,100 --> 01:09:06,100
there can be this unspoken and

1510
01:09:06,100 --> 01:09:07,100
sometimes spoken expectation to carry

1511
01:09:07,100 --> 01:09:11,100
a lot and to carry it quietly.

1512
01:09:11,100 --> 01:09:14,100
that's why this year's suicide

1513
01:09:14,100 --> 01:09:16,100
prevention month theme, the weight we

1514
01:09:16,100 --> 01:09:19,100
carry, supporting men and boys' mental

1515
01:09:19,100 --> 01:09:20,100
health resonates with me.

1516
01:09:20,100 --> 01:09:22,100
strength isn't just about pushing

1517
01:09:22,100 --> 01:09:24,100
through as hard or fast as we can,

1518
01:09:24,100 --> 01:09:26,100
it's also about knowing whether to

1519
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:28,100
speak up, to check in on someone and

1520
01:09:28,100 --> 01:09:30,401
to ask for support.

1521
01:09:31,100 --> 01:09:35,100
this year, I'm honored to be a part of

1522
01:09:35,100 --> 01:09:37,100
the upcoming event mission follows you

1523
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:40,100
home, veteran and first responder

1524
01:09:40,100 --> 01:09:42,100
mental health forum on september 10.

1525
01:09:42,100 --> 01:09:45,100
I hope you'll be there to join us as

1526
01:09:45,100 --> 01:09:48,100
we have an important conversation

1527
01:09:48,100 --> 01:09:49,100
about mental health, connection and

1528
01:09:49,100 --> 01:09:50,100
supporting those who serve.

1529
01:09:50,100 --> 01:09:52,100
thank you.

1530
01:09:55,100 --> 01:09:57,100
>> big round of applause for michael,

1531
01:09:57,100 --> 01:09:59,100
thank you, michael.

1532
01:10:00,100 --> 01:10:01,100
[applause].

1533
01:10:01,100 --> 01:10:04,100
and to close, we invite the san mateo

1534
01:10:04,100 --> 01:10:05,100
county community to take action this

1535
01:10:05,100 --> 01:10:08,100
september to support our community

1536
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:11,100
especially men and boys who may be

1537
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:12,100
less likely to ask for help.

1538
01:10:12,100 --> 01:10:15,100
three key actions to emphasize, first,

1539
01:10:15,100 --> 01:10:18,100
learning the warning signs including

1540
01:10:19,100 --> 01:10:20,100
withdrawal, recklessness, major mood

1541
01:10:20,100 --> 01:10:23,100
changes or talking about wanting to

1542
01:10:23,100 --> 01:10:24,100
die.

1543
01:10:24,100 --> 01:10:25,100
second, please share the suicide

1544
01:10:25,100 --> 01:10:27,401
prevention events and resources

1545
01:10:28,100 --> 01:10:30,100
especially 988.

1546
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:32,100
third, learn how to talk about suicide

1547
01:10:32,100 --> 01:10:34,100
in a safe, compassionate and

1548
01:10:34,100 --> 01:10:36,100
supportive way.

1549
01:10:37,100 --> 01:10:39,100
normalize conversations about stress,

1550
01:10:39,100 --> 01:10:40,100
grief and loneliness and show that

1551
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:43,100
reaching out is a sign of strength.

1552
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:46,100
and finally please consider joining

1553
01:10:47,100 --> 01:10:49,100
our suicide prevention committee

1554
01:10:49,100 --> 01:10:50,100

1556
01:10:51,100 --> 01:10:52,100

1560
01:11:00,100 --> 01:11:02,100
to everyone in our community for

1561
01:11:02,100 --> 01:11:04,401
building hope, connection and

1562
01:11:07,100 --> 01:11:08,100
belonging, together we can help ensure

1563
01:11:08,100 --> 01:11:09,100
that no one has to carry this weight

1564
01:11:09,100 --> 01:11:10,100
alone.

1565
01:11:10,100 --> 01:11:12,100
thank you.

1566
01:11:15,100 --> 01:11:17,100
>> thank you so much.

1567
01:11:17,100 --> 01:11:19,100
did you want to share more comments,

1568
01:11:19,100 --> 01:11:21,100
supervisor canepa?

1569
01:11:21,100 --> 01:11:22,100
>> no

1570
01:11:22,100 --> 01:11:24,100
>> any comments from my colleagues?

1571
01:11:24,100 --> 01:11:25,100
okay.

1572
01:11:25,100 --> 01:11:26,100
>> move the item.

1573
01:11:26,100 --> 01:11:30,201
>> I just wanted to briefly say, you

1574
01:11:34,100 --> 01:11:35,100
know, this topic hits close to home

1575
01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:39,201
for me and sometimes it's a little

1576
01:11:43,100 --> 01:11:47,201
overwhelming but I recently met with a

1577
01:11:55,100 --> 01:11:58,100
small group of women who talked to me

1578
01:11:58,100 --> 01:12:02,201
about being a part of their child's

1579
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:08,601
high school dlac committee and how

1580
01:12:11,100 --> 01:12:14,100
they really wanted mental health and

1581
01:12:14,100 --> 01:12:16,100
suicide prevention training in spanish

1582
01:12:16,100 --> 01:12:19,100
and I talked to them about how I had

1583
01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:22,100
gotten trained by nami to do a mental

1584
01:12:22,100 --> 01:12:25,100
health training to freshmen and how I

1585
01:12:25,100 --> 01:12:29,100
had done one and I didn't realize that

1586
01:12:29,100 --> 01:12:32,100
like parents want to know this

1587
01:12:32,100 --> 01:12:35,601
information and I told them about

1588
01:12:37,100 --> 01:12:38,100
income ami and I don't know the if our

1589
01:12:38,100 --> 01:12:39,100
county does that.

1590
01:12:39,100 --> 01:12:42,100
we probable do, but -- probably do,

1591
01:12:42,100 --> 01:12:45,100
if you need volunteers, I'm sure I

1592
01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:49,100
could be trained myself or I could

1593
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:52,100
probably help like find people but it

1594
01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:56,100
just made me really happy to know that

1595
01:12:56,100 --> 01:12:59,100
even immigrants parents who don't

1596
01:12:59,100 --> 01:13:01,100
speak english like really want this

1597
01:13:01,100 --> 01:13:05,201
knowledge to help their kids and it

1598
01:13:10,100 --> 01:13:13,100
gives me hope that we have families

1599
01:13:13,100 --> 01:13:17,201
that want to break cycles and there's

1600
01:13:18,100 --> 01:13:20,100
a thirst for knowledge, thank you for

1601
01:13:20,100 --> 01:13:22,100
being part of the solution and for

1602
01:13:22,100 --> 01:13:25,100
spreading all this good information

1603
01:13:25,100 --> 01:13:28,100
and, yeah, I'm also grateful for the

1604
01:13:28,100 --> 01:13:32,201
training that will happen on the 10th.

1605
01:13:33,100 --> 01:13:37,801
I know in my district in foster city,

1606
01:13:38,100 --> 01:13:41,100
we had an officer take his life I

1607
01:13:41,100 --> 01:13:43,100
think a year or two ago at precinct

1608
01:13:43,100 --> 01:13:47,201
and it was a really difficult tragedy

1609
01:13:48,100 --> 01:13:52,100
for folks there, so it's very much

1610
01:13:52,100 --> 01:13:53,100
needed.

1611
01:13:53,100 --> 01:13:55,100
so, thank you.

1612
01:13:55,100 --> 01:13:57,100
with that, I think we can move on to

1613
01:13:57,100 --> 01:13:59,100
public comment.

1614
01:14:00,100 --> 01:14:02,100
>> okay, we'll be taking public

1615
01:14:02,100 --> 01:14:05,100

01:14:53,100 --> 01:14:56,100
vital educational training, we provide

[inaudible] to schools, to county

1632
01:14:59,100 --> 01:15:01,100
agencies, to non-profits community

1633
01:15:01,100 --> 01:15:03,100
organizations throughout san mateo

01:15:03,100 --> 01:15:05,100
county, bringing awarded of that

1635
01:15:05,100 --> 01:15:07,100
information for that, but we extend

01:15:07,100 --> 01:15:09,100
our greatest grat taout to the suicide

1637
01:15:09,100 --> 01:15:11,100
prevention committee as being a

1638
01:15:11,100 --> 01:15:13,100
continued partner in helping create

1639
01:15:13,100 --> 01:15:15,401
awareness about information about 988,

1640
01:15:16,100 --> 01:15:19,100
but also for the leadership of

1641
01:15:19,100 --> 01:15:20,100
everyone here presenting to this board

1642
01:15:20,100 --> 01:15:23,100
because you guys all take a certain

1643
01:15:23,100 --> 01:15:25,100
step towards that section of creating

1644
01:15:25,100 --> 01:15:28,100
that awareness but also informing your

1645
01:15:28,100 --> 01:15:29,100
own constituents of that information

1646
01:15:29,100 --> 01:15:32,100
as well, so as we look ahead, we are

1647
01:15:32,100 --> 01:15:33,100
immensely thankful for your continued

1648
01:15:33,100 --> 01:15:36,100
support and we look forward to expand

1649
01:15:36,100 --> 01:15:37,100
culturally responsive training both in

1650
01:15:37,100 --> 01:15:40,100
different languages but also providing

1651
01:15:42,100 --> 01:15:43,100
interpretation and providing services

1652
01:15:43,100 --> 01:15:45,100
throughout the county creating that

1653
01:15:45,100 --> 01:15:46,100
awareness as well.

1654
01:15:46,100 --> 01:15:48,100
I have encountered a lot of

1655
01:15:48,100 --> 01:15:50,100
individuals at tabling who have asked

1656
01:15:50,100 --> 01:15:53,100
us about those magnets that are in

1657
01:15:53,100 --> 01:15:55,100
spanish, they asked us if we do

1658
01:15:55,100 --> 01:15:56,100
presentations in spanish, we don't at

1659
01:15:56,100 --> 01:15:57,100
this time but I think in

1660
01:15:57,100 --> 01:15:59,100
collaboration, we can do something

1661
01:15:59,100 --> 01:16:02,100
with interpreters to provide that

1662
01:16:02,100 --> 01:16:04,100
support and/or finding volunteers who

1663
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:06,100
might provide that support as well.

1664
01:16:06,100 --> 01:16:09,100
again, 988 is a free confidential

1665
01:16:09,100 --> 01:16:11,100
service available for all residents

theses more than a proclamation, it is

1689
01:17:21,100 --> 01:17:24,100

crisis from happening.

1703
01:17:54,100 --> 01:17:57,100
suicide is often an area of stigma,

1704
01:17:57,100 --> 01:17:59,100
struggling to find meaning and hope

1705
01:17:59,100 --> 01:18:00,100
and connection when things feel heavy

1706
01:18:00,100 --> 01:18:04,100

1707
01:18:04,100 --> 01:18:06,100
experiences, this september we

1708
01:18:06,100 --> 01:18:07,100
invite everyone to help create a

1709
01:18:07,100 --> 01:18:09,100
community where service conversations

1710
01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:11,100
are met with compassion and connection

1711
01:18:11,100 --> 01:18:13,401

with our work in this cause, this work

1715
01:18:19,100 --> 01:18:20,100
cannot be done in isolation and

1716
01:18:20,100 --> 01:18:21,100
together we can remind san mateo

1717
01:18:21,100 --> 01:18:23,100
county that help is available and hope

1718
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:25,100
is possible and worth it and no one

1719
01:18:25,100 --> 01:18:26,100
has to carry this weight alone.

1720
01:18:26,100 --> 01:18:28,100
thank you.

>> as we approach suicide prevention

1730
01:18:51,100 --> 01:18:53,100
month and overdose awareness day, I

1731
01:18:53,100 --> 01:18:55,100
would like to stress how critical it

1732
01:18:55,100 --> 01:18:58,100
is to select a quality well vetted

1733
01:18:58,100 --> 01:19:00,100
provider of mental health and

1734
01:19:00,100 --> 01:19:01,100
addiction treatment services.

1735
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:04,100
with that, I urge this board to

1736
01:19:04,100 --> 01:19:06,100
immediately withdraw our county's

1737
01:19:06,100 --> 01:19:09,100
endorsement and matching grant for

1738
01:19:09,100 --> 01:19:11,100
horizon recovery services.

1739
01:19:11,100 --> 01:19:15,100
in my city, they manage facility, as

1740
01:19:15,100 --> 01:19:18,100
it has egregious operating history.

1741
01:19:19,100 --> 01:19:21,100

the actual item.

1745
01:19:28,100 --> 01:19:31,100
>> I wasn't able to speak in public

1746
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:32,100
comment and you're not letting me

1747
01:19:32,100 --> 01:19:33,100

>> okay, can you restart my time?

1758
01:20:03,100 --> 01:20:07,100

commission.

1773
01:20:41,100 --> 01:20:43,100
I've also been a part of the suicide

1774
01:20:43,100 --> 01:20:45,100
prevention committee and I just wanted

1775
01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:49,201
to lend my voice in appreciation and

1776
01:20:50,100 --> 01:20:53,601
support, really I could have possibly

1777
01:20:54,100 --> 01:20:58,100
spoken for even the overdose a-- the

1778
01:20:58,100 --> 01:21:00,100
previous proclamations, it just really

1779
01:21:00,100 --> 01:21:04,201
as a san mateo resident and engaged

1780
01:21:05,100 --> 01:21:07,100
community member, it just makes me

1781
01:21:07,100 --> 01:21:11,100
very proud to know that as taylor just

1782
01:21:11,100 --> 01:21:14,100
shared, just really display the

1783
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:18,100
commitment that we have as a county to

1784
01:21:18,100 --> 01:21:21,100
care for our most vulnerable and there

1785
01:21:21,100 --> 01:21:24,100
is a lot of education.

1786
01:21:24,100 --> 01:21:27,100
I know there's certainly resources

1787
01:21:27,100 --> 01:21:30,100
that I'm most proud of, you know, as I

1788
01:21:30,100 --> 01:21:32,100
sit on the behavioral health

1789
01:21:32,100 --> 01:21:35,601
commission, we are often seeing really

1790
01:21:38,100 --> 01:21:41,100
witnessing firsthand and as advocates

1791
01:21:41,100 --> 01:21:45,100
here in the community, it really just

1792
01:21:45,100 --> 01:21:48,100
gives us immense -- yeah, just really

1793
01:21:48,100 --> 01:21:54,100
pride in that what we see is a lot of

1794
01:21:54,100 --> 01:21:56,401
collaboration, the community partners,

1795
01:21:57,100 --> 01:22:01,100
there's unity, and it really does take

1796
01:22:01,100 --> 01:22:04,601
that as was shared previously, each

1797
01:22:05,100 --> 01:22:08,100
individual, each of us can make a

1798
01:22:08,100 --> 01:22:12,100
difference as we are aware of the

1799
01:22:12,100 --> 01:22:15,100
loneliness epidemic, it is real

1800
01:22:15,100 --> 01:22:19,100
nationally and these are the types of

1801
01:22:19,100 --> 01:22:21,401
ways in which celebrating

1802
01:22:23,100 --> 01:22:25,100
proclamations as these, the training,

1803
01:22:25,100 --> 01:22:28,601
education and coming together as a

1804
01:22:29,100 --> 01:22:32,100
community partner I think just really

1805
01:22:32,100 --> 01:22:34,100

disabilities and I'm speaking as board

1816
01:23:01,100 --> 01:23:03,100
trustee for the san mateo union high

1817
01:23:03,100 --> 01:23:04,100
school district.

1818
01:23:04,100 --> 01:23:07,100
I wanted to -- I've been a member of

1819
01:23:07,100 --> 01:23:10,100
the suicide prevention commission as

1820
01:23:10,100 --> 01:23:11,100
well.

1821
01:23:11,100 --> 01:23:14,100
I want to say thank you to the board

1822
01:23:14,100 --> 01:23:16,401
for having this recognition.

1823
01:23:17,100 --> 01:23:20,100
this committee is so important for our

1824
01:23:20,100 --> 01:23:23,100
county, for information, education and

1825
01:23:25,100 --> 01:23:26,100
awareness.

1826
01:23:26,100 --> 01:23:29,100
we have a significant population of

1827
01:23:29,100 --> 01:23:31,100
folks within our disabled community

1828
01:23:31,100 --> 01:23:34,601
that have a lot of anxiety,

1829
01:23:36,100 --> 01:23:37,100
depression, a lot of mental health

1830
01:23:37,100 --> 01:23:40,100
needs related to losing their

1831
01:23:40,100 --> 01:23:43,100
benefits, related to even just being

1832
01:23:43,100 --> 01:23:45,100
isolated and losing their in-home care

1833
01:23:45,100 --> 01:23:48,100
right now is a critical time for our

1834
01:23:48,100 --> 01:23:51,100
community in being present and in

1835
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:53,100
being seen and just having the

1836
01:23:53,100 --> 01:23:56,601
services that they need to feel

1837
01:23:58,100 --> 01:23:59,100
connected.

1838
01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:02,100
as a person with a disability, it's --

1839
01:24:02,100 --> 01:24:05,100
I can speak to my own lived experience

1840
01:24:05,100 --> 01:24:08,100
of not having enough care and how it

1841
01:24:08,100 --> 01:24:10,100
relates to your mental health.

1842
01:24:10,100 --> 01:24:14,201
it's very scary and it is extremely

1843
01:24:15,100 --> 01:24:16,100
lonely and isolating, so I just want

1844
01:24:16,100 --> 01:24:19,100
to say thank you to the board again

1845
01:24:19,100 --> 01:24:22,100
and to the committee for including

1846
01:24:22,100 --> 01:24:24,100
folks with disabilities within this

1847
01:24:24,100 --> 01:24:27,100
topic and then also to not forget that

1848
01:24:27,100 --> 01:24:30,601
our community is also unseen and

1849
01:24:31,100 --> 01:24:34,100
vulnerable, so thank you very much and

1850
01:24:34,100 --> 01:24:36,100
I'm grateful.

1851
01:24:37,100 --> 01:24:40,100
>> thank you, we'll conclude with

1852
01:24:41,100 --> 01:24:42,100
isabel, please unmute and begin.

1853
01:24:42,100 --> 01:24:45,100
>> I wanted to start by thanking the

1854
01:24:45,100 --> 01:24:46,100
board of supervisors by recognizing

1855
01:24:46,100 --> 01:24:49,100
september as suicide prevention month

1856
01:24:49,100 --> 01:24:51,100
and for continuing to bring attention

1857
01:24:51,100 --> 01:24:53,100
to such an important work through san

1858
01:24:53,100 --> 01:24:55,100
mateo county.

1859
01:24:55,100 --> 01:24:57,401
also especially acknowledgment to

1860
01:24:58,100 --> 01:25:01,100
sylvia tang for bringing awareness,

1861
01:25:01,100 --> 01:25:02,100
education, resources and just hope to

1862
01:25:02,100 --> 01:25:03,100
our community.

1863
01:25:03,100 --> 01:25:05,100
and to sylvia for her continued

1864
01:25:05,100 --> 01:25:07,100
dedication and hard work in bringing

1865
01:25:07,100 --> 01:25:10,100
people and partners together many

1866
01:25:10,100 --> 01:25:11,100
support of suicide prevention, so

1867
01:25:11,100 --> 01:25:12,100
thank you.

1868
01:25:12,100 --> 01:25:15,100
>> alright, thank you, that concludes

1869
01:25:16,100 --> 01:25:17,100
public comment.

1870
01:25:17,100 --> 01:25:18,100
>> okay.

1871
01:25:18,100 --> 01:25:20,100
thank you so much for bringing this

1872
01:25:20,100 --> 01:25:21,100
forward, supervisor canepa.

1873
01:25:21,100 --> 01:25:23,100
and I would love to hear a motion.

1874
01:25:23,100 --> 01:25:24,100
>> I'll move the item.

1875
01:25:24,100 --> 01:25:25,100
>> second.

1876
01:25:25,100 --> 01:25:26,100
>> we have a motion and a second,

1877

1878
01:25:28,100 --> 01:25:29,100
>> supervisor speier?

1879
01:25:29,100 --> 01:25:30,100
>> aye.

01:25:30,100 --> 01:25:31,100
>> supervisor mueller?

1881
01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:32,100
>> yes.

>> aye.

1886
01:25:38,100 --> 01:25:39,100
>> president corzo?

1887
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:40,100
>> aye.

1888
01:25:40,100 --> 01:25:42,100
okay, we will now present the

1889
01:25:42,100 --> 01:25:43,100
proclamation.

1890
01:25:43,100 --> 01:25:45,100
( presenting proclamation ).

1891
01:27:17,100 --> 01:27:19,100
>> thank you, with that, we'll move

1892
01:27:19,100 --> 01:27:22,601
on to item number 5, presentation on

1893
01:27:26,100 --> 01:27:30,100
the impacts of an ongoing deficit for

1894
01:27:30,100 --> 01:27:33,100
caltrain, and supervisor can --

1895
01:27:33,100 --> 01:27:34,100
canepa is the sponsor.

1896
01:27:34,100 --> 01:27:37,100
>> first of all, let me thank our

1897
01:27:37,100 --> 01:27:39,401
executive director, michelle bouchard

1898
01:27:40,100 --> 01:27:42,100
and casey who we'll be hearing

1899
01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:44,100
later from.

1900
01:27:44,100 --> 01:27:47,601
today caltrain carries a total of

1901
01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:51,100
three freeway lanes worth of people

1902
01:27:51,100 --> 01:27:54,100
during peak periods on highway 101

1903
01:27:54,100 --> 01:27:57,100
where traffic is already at 93% of

1904
01:27:57,100 --> 01:28:00,100
pre-pandemic levels at rush hour.

1905
01:28:00,100 --> 01:28:02,100
although caltrain is one of the

1906
01:28:02,100 --> 01:28:04,100
peninsula's greatest transportation

1907
01:28:04,100 --> 01:28:07,100
assets is approaching a serious fiscal

1908
01:28:07,100 --> 01:28:09,100
cliff that could have major

1909
01:28:09,100 --> 01:28:12,100
consequences for san mateo county

1910
01:28:12,100 --> 01:28:13,100
residents.

1911
01:28:13,100 --> 01:28:14,100
the concern is especially striking

1912
01:28:14,100 --> 01:28:16,401
because caltrain is succeeding,

1913
01:28:17,100 --> 01:28:19,401
ridership is growing, customer

1914
01:28:20,100 --> 01:28:23,100
satisfaction is strong and the new

1915
01:28:23,100 --> 01:28:25,401
electrified system is providing

1916
01:28:26,100 --> 01:28:29,100
faster, cleaner and more reliable

1917
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:30,100
service.

1918
01:28:30,100 --> 01:28:31,100
we also know that caltrain is a key

1919
01:28:31,100 --> 01:28:34,100
driver of economic activity for

1920
01:28:37,100 --> 01:28:39,100
cities and businesses throughout san

1921
01:28:39,100 --> 01:28:41,100
mateo county.

1922
01:28:41,100 --> 01:28:43,100
with businesses with commercial

1923
01:28:43,100 --> 01:28:45,100
properties located near stations.

1924
01:28:45,100 --> 01:28:47,100
yet without a stable long term source

1925
01:28:47,100 --> 01:28:49,100
of funding, caltrain could face an

1926
01:28:49,100 --> 01:28:51,100
annual operating deficit of

1927
01:28:51,100 --> 01:28:53,401
approximately 75 million dollars and

1928
01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:55,100
potentially significant service

1929
01:28:55,100 --> 01:28:58,100
reductions in the coming years.

1930
01:29:00,100 --> 01:29:03,100
the consequences could be dramatic,

1931
01:29:03,100 --> 01:29:06,100
the elimination of weekend services,

1932
01:29:06,100 --> 01:29:09,601
trains running only once an hour,

1933
01:29:10,100 --> 01:29:12,100
station closures, earlier service

1934
01:29:12,100 --> 01:29:14,100
endings and fewer transportation

1935
01:29:14,100 --> 01:29:16,100
options for families, workers,

1936
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:18,100
students and seniors.

1937
01:29:18,100 --> 01:29:22,100
that would mean more cars on highway

1938
01:29:22,100 --> 01:29:24,100
101, more traffic and more pollution.

1939
01:29:24,100 --> 01:29:27,601
it would also undermine the tremendous

1940
01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:31,100
public investment already made to

1941
01:29:31,100 --> 01:29:32,100
modernize and electrify this critical

1942
01:29:32,100 --> 01:29:34,100
rail system.

1943
01:29:35,100 --> 01:29:38,100
as a caltrain board member, I believe

1944
01:29:38,100 --> 01:29:40,100
maintaining a strong transit system is

1945
01:29:40,100 --> 01:29:42,100
an investment in our environment,

1946
01:29:42,100 --> 01:29:44,100
economy and quality of life.

1947
01:29:44,100 --> 01:29:48,201
with that, I would like to welcome

1948
01:29:49,100 --> 01:29:52,100
michelle bouchard and casey to say a

1949
01:29:52,100 --> 01:29:53,100
few words.

1950
01:29:53,100 --> 01:29:54,100
>> thank you so much for your service

1951
01:29:54,100 --> 01:29:56,100
on the caltrain board.

1952
01:29:56,100 --> 01:29:59,100
president corzo, supervisors, I'm here

1953
01:29:59,100 --> 01:30:00,100
to basically introduce casey who's

1954
01:30:00,100 --> 01:30:02,100
going to be heavy lifting on this

1955
01:30:02,100 --> 01:30:04,100
presentation, I did want to emphasize

1956
01:30:04,100 --> 01:30:07,100
a few things that the supervisor

1957
01:30:07,100 --> 01:30:10,100
mentioned in his introduction of this

1958
01:30:10,100 --> 01:30:11,100
item.

1959
01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:14,100
we are close to two years after having

1960
01:30:14,100 --> 01:30:15,100
launched electrification.

1961
01:30:15,100 --> 01:30:18,100
and I think by all accounts, really

1962
01:30:18,100 --> 01:30:21,100
the investment that was made in the

1963
01:30:21,100 --> 01:30:24,100
railroad really has transformed the

1964
01:30:24,100 --> 01:30:25,100
service.

1965
01:30:25,100 --> 01:30:28,601
this year, we were just announced

1966
01:30:29,100 --> 01:30:30,100
apta's outstanding transportation

1967
01:30:30,100 --> 01:30:32,100
agency and that's amongst all of the

1968
01:30:32,100 --> 01:30:33,100
transit agencies in the united states

1969
01:30:33,100 --> 01:30:35,100
and it really does bear out the

1970
01:30:35,100 --> 01:30:37,100
benefit and the transformational

1971
01:30:37,100 --> 01:30:39,100
quality of electrification.

1972
01:30:40,100 --> 01:30:42,100
we also have been named fastest

1973
01:30:42,100 --> 01:30:44,100
growing transit agency in the united

1974
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:46,100
states and that's as a result of

1975
01:30:46,100 --> 01:30:48,100
having trip times that are much

1976
01:30:48,100 --> 01:30:51,100
shorter, having a world class

1977
01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:53,100
environment on board the train and all

1978
01:30:53,100 --> 01:30:56,100
of the other associated benefits that

1979
01:30:56,100 --> 01:30:58,100
electrification has brought.

1980
01:30:58,100 --> 01:31:00,100
as you emphasized, supervisor, the

1981
01:31:00,100 --> 01:31:03,100
benefits do not just accrue

1982
01:31:03,100 --> 01:31:06,100
to our riders, they accrue to all of the

1983
01:31:06,100 --> 01:31:07,100
stations where property values are

1984
01:31:07,100 --> 01:31:09,100
enhanced and they also accrue to folks

1985
01:31:09,100 --> 01:31:13,100
who are using 101 and 280 was we are

1986
01:31:13,100 --> 01:31:16,100
taking three lanes of traffic.

1987
01:31:16,100 --> 01:31:18,100
we are unfortunately at an inflection

1988
01:31:18,100 --> 01:31:20,100
point and casey's going to present

1989
01:31:20,100 --> 01:31:22,100
some slides, we have been talking to

1990
01:31:22,100 --> 01:31:25,100
the caltrain board about for the last

1991
01:31:25,100 --> 01:31:27,100
several months and have been

1992
01:31:27,100 --> 01:31:30,100
preparing for what is an unfortunate

1993
01:31:30,100 --> 01:31:33,100
as we call it fiscal cliff for the

1994
01:31:33,100 --> 01:31:35,100
last few years, and casey's going tell

1995
01:31:35,100 --> 01:31:38,100
you all of the steps we've taken to

1996
01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:39,100
put ourselves in the best possible

1997
01:31:39,100 --> 01:31:42,601
situation in terms of lowering co-s

1998
01:31:46,100 --> 01:31:48,100
and increasing efficiencies and we do

1999
01:31:48,100 --> 01:31:49,100
hope that there will be an opportunity

2000
01:31:49,100 --> 01:31:51,100
for us to receive additional funding

2001
01:31:51,100 --> 01:31:55,100
towards the end of the year and casey

2002
01:31:55,100 --> 01:31:56,100
will talk about what we will continue

2003
01:31:56,100 --> 01:31:59,100
to do to make ourselves a better

2004
01:31:59,100 --> 01:32:02,100
railroad but also we'll describe some

2005
01:32:02,100 --> 01:32:03,100
of the unfortunate consequences that

2006
01:32:03,100 --> 01:32:05,100
we're facing.

2007
01:32:06,100 --> 01:32:09,100
with that, I will introduce

2008
01:32:09,100 --> 01:32:12,100
caltrain's chief of staff, casey

2009
01:32:14,100 --> 01:32:16,401
fransin, chief of staff.

2010
01:32:17,100 --> 01:32:19,100
>> I'll jump into the conversation

2011
01:32:19,100 --> 01:32:20,100
hopefully.

2012
01:32:20,100 --> 01:32:22,100
you guys know the organization well so

2013
01:32:22,100 --> 01:32:26,801
I'm not going to go into that, when

2014
01:32:27,100 --> 01:32:29,100
we've done information about the

2015
01:32:29,100 --> 01:32:31,401
corridor, we have 82 favorability

2016
01:32:32,100 --> 01:32:35,100
rating, if you ride the system, it's

2017
01:32:35,100 --> 01:32:38,100
better and we're putting out a real

2018
01:32:38,100 --> 01:32:40,100
world class system.

2019
01:32:40,100 --> 01:32:42,100
and caltrain is something that's part

2020
01:32:42,100 --> 01:32:44,100
of everybody's -- not everybody's but

2021
01:32:44,100 --> 01:32:47,100
for millions of people, it's part of

2022
01:32:47,100 --> 01:32:48,100
their daily existence, they take it to

2023
01:32:48,100 --> 01:32:51,100
go to school, to work, to special

2024
01:32:51,100 --> 01:32:52,100
events.

2025
01:32:52,100 --> 01:32:54,100
it's part of their fabric of their day

2026
01:32:54,100 --> 01:32:56,100
and as it's been mentioned, it's not

2027
01:32:56,100 --> 01:32:58,100
just a daily part of people's lives,

2028
01:32:58,100 --> 01:33:01,100
we have these big regional benefit

2029
01:33:01,100 --> 01:33:04,100
from removing traffic to making a

2030
01:33:04,100 --> 01:33:05,100
stronger economy, serving almost 40%

2031
01:33:05,100 --> 01:33:08,100
of the bay area population and cleaner

2032
01:33:08,100 --> 01:33:10,100
air when we think about the future

2033
01:33:10,100 --> 01:33:12,100
generations and what our goals are, we

2034
01:33:12,100 --> 01:33:15,100
have a system that's 100% renewable

2035
01:33:17,100 --> 01:33:18,100
electric.

2036
01:33:18,100 --> 01:33:20,100
and this slide talks about some of

2037
01:33:20,100 --> 01:33:22,100
those benefits, we're not trying to

2038
01:33:22,100 --> 01:33:23,100
not think just from our perspective,

2039
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:25,100
what are we doing for our

2040
01:33:25,100 --> 01:33:27,100
communities and the region, higher

2041
01:33:27,100 --> 01:33:29,100
property values, contributing to the

2042
01:33:29,100 --> 01:33:33,801
higher tax base so people are able to

2043
01:33:34,100 --> 01:33:35,100
invest those resources in other

2044
01:33:35,100 --> 01:33:36,100
activities as well.

2045
01:33:36,100 --> 01:33:37,100
we have lots of major initiatives

2046
01:33:37,100 --> 01:33:40,100
along the corridor that's highlighted

2047
01:33:42,100 --> 01:33:43,100
on the left side, I wanted to call out

2048
01:33:43,100 --> 01:33:44,100
one smaller one, when we think about

2049
01:33:44,100 --> 01:33:45,100
doing all these projects, how do we do

2050
01:33:45,100 --> 01:33:48,100
them more cost effective with

2051
01:33:48,100 --> 01:33:50,401
innovation, we're using technology

2052
01:33:51,100 --> 01:33:53,100
that helped us in one of the crosses,

2053
01:33:53,100 --> 01:33:55,100
we had three vehicles a week turning

2054
01:33:55,100 --> 01:33:57,100
on to the tracks in that location, we

2055
01:33:57,100 --> 01:34:00,100
worked with the local city, with the

2056
01:34:00,100 --> 01:34:01,100
technology providers to make sure they

2057
01:34:01,100 --> 01:34:04,100
can enhance the audio whether you go

2058
01:34:04,100 --> 01:34:06,100
across the tracks and invested

2059
01:34:06,100 --> 01:34:08,100
hundreds of thousands of dollars, not

2060
01:34:08,100 --> 01:34:11,100
millions, with these cost effective

2061
01:34:12,100 --> 01:34:14,100
tools and the items that you have up

2062
01:34:14,100 --> 01:34:16,100
there, we've had 0 cars on the tracks

2063
01:34:16,100 --> 01:34:18,100
since then, that's over a year and a

2064
01:34:18,100 --> 01:34:20,100
half since we put that in place and

2065
01:34:20,100 --> 01:34:21,100
we're rolling that out throughout the

2066
01:34:21,100 --> 01:34:25,100
corridor to make it an even safer

2067
01:34:25,100 --> 01:34:26,100
corridor.

2068
01:34:26,100 --> 01:34:28,100
and everybody's talked about it, the

2069
01:34:28,100 --> 01:34:29,100
three legged stool and what people

2070
01:34:29,100 --> 01:34:31,100
want for their services, it's faster,

2071
01:34:31,100 --> 01:34:33,100
more frequent, a better service and

2072
01:34:33,100 --> 01:34:35,100
the fourth one which is a bonus is

2073
01:34:35,100 --> 01:34:38,100
it's a great reliable system, 95%, you

2074
01:34:38,100 --> 01:34:41,100
can time or schedule your day, your

2075
01:34:41,100 --> 01:34:43,100
weekend around a service that's going

2076
01:34:43,100 --> 01:34:46,100
to show up whether you need it to be

2077
01:34:46,100 --> 01:34:47,100
there.

2078
01:34:47,100 --> 01:34:48,100
as we've talked about with growing

2079
01:34:48,100 --> 01:34:50,100
ridership, we have a lot of different

2080
01:34:50,100 --> 01:34:51,100
numberers to cut this and show how

2081
01:34:51,100 --> 01:34:53,100
much growth that we've had, but we see

2082
01:34:53,100 --> 01:34:56,100
it not just on the people using it to

2083
01:34:56,100 --> 01:34:58,100
get to and from work but we have the

2084
01:34:58,100 --> 01:35:00,100
highest weekend ridership ever in the

2085
01:35:00,100 --> 01:35:03,100
system so it's a 200% increase of

2086
01:35:03,100 --> 01:35:06,100
what it was even pre-pandemic and we're

2087
01:35:06,100 --> 01:35:08,100
also seeing people taking it to

2088
01:35:08,100 --> 01:35:10,100
different events, sorting events,

2089
01:35:10,100 --> 01:35:12,100
concerts, it's a service with a system

2090
01:35:12,100 --> 01:35:14,100
we have that you can use it for lots

2091
01:35:14,100 --> 01:35:18,201
of different activities, we have a dollar

2092
01:35:19,100 --> 01:35:22,601
youth fare and they're bringing their

2093
01:35:23,100 --> 01:35:26,100
parents on board to use it as well.

2094
01:35:26,100 --> 01:35:27,100
our ridership has diversified, we have

2095
01:35:27,100 --> 01:35:30,601
a system that works for everybody's

2096
01:35:32,100 --> 01:35:35,100
schedules, and again, every single

2097
01:35:37,100 --> 01:35:40,100
city is seeing this increase because

2098
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:43,100
we've expanded what our service

2099
01:35:43,100 --> 01:35:45,401
increases are for everybody.

2100
01:35:48,100 --> 01:35:50,100
we know that our partnerships with

2101
01:35:50,100 --> 01:35:51,100
cities are really critical, they have

2102
01:35:51,100 --> 01:35:54,100
the ability to help shape how

2103
01:35:54,100 --> 01:35:55,100
communities interact with each of our

2104
01:35:55,100 --> 01:35:58,100
stations so we put a special focus on

2105
01:35:58,100 --> 01:36:00,100
our relationship with them and we've

2106
01:36:00,100 --> 01:36:02,100
heard from cities too that they know

2107
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:04,100
-- they do some of these activities

2108
01:36:04,100 --> 01:36:07,100
not just because it benefits the

2109
01:36:07,100 --> 01:36:08,100
railroad, it benefits their community

2110
01:36:08,100 --> 01:36:11,100
and how it brags with their downtown

2111
01:36:11,100 --> 01:36:13,100
and the other local businesses we have

2112
01:36:13,100 --> 01:36:15,100
there so we're leaning into this

2113
01:36:15,100 --> 01:36:16,100
partnership and going into each of the

2114
01:36:16,100 --> 01:36:19,100
cities along the corridor and

2115
01:36:19,100 --> 01:36:21,100
highlighting the lovely amenities and

2116
01:36:21,100 --> 01:36:23,100
things that happen in these

2117
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:25,100
communities, making it a win, win for

2118
01:36:25,100 --> 01:36:27,100
these cities as well as there caltrain.

2119
01:36:27,100 --> 01:36:29,100
so, shifting gears,

2120
01:36:32,100 --> 01:36:34,100
those are a lot of the

2121
01:36:34,100 --> 01:36:35,100
positive points but we have to be

2122
01:36:35,100 --> 01:36:37,100
realistic about what we're facing as

2123
01:36:37,100 --> 01:36:38,100
well.

2124
01:36:38,100 --> 01:36:40,100
this shows the dramatic increase in

2125
01:36:40,100 --> 01:36:43,601
ridership we've seen, in 2020, we had

2126
01:36:45,100 --> 01:36:46,100
2% of the ridership we had, we have

2127
01:36:46,100 --> 01:36:47,100
this great trend that's occurring but

2128
01:36:47,100 --> 01:36:51,201
it's not quite what it was in 2018,

2129
01:36:52,100 --> 01:36:53,100
2019.

2130
01:36:53,100 --> 01:36:54,100
fares are a big piece of the puzzle

2131
01:36:54,100 --> 01:36:57,100
for us, we withdrew to have 70% of our

2132
01:36:57,100 --> 01:36:59,100
budget covered from fares, that was

2133
01:36:59,100 --> 01:37:01,100
bringing in 100 million dollars, today

2134
01:37:01,100 --> 01:37:02,100
it's closer to 40 million dollars.

2135
01:37:02,100 --> 01:37:05,100
this is still nation leading for a

2136
01:37:05,100 --> 01:37:06,100
transit system, most systems don't

2137
01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:08,100
bring in and cover that much with

2138
01:37:08,100 --> 01:37:10,100
fares but it's certainly not what it

2139
01:37:10,100 --> 01:37:11,100
was before.

2140
01:37:11,100 --> 01:37:14,100
and we get to that bigger number for a

2141
01:37:14,100 --> 01:37:16,100
couple of different reasons.

2142
01:37:16,100 --> 01:37:17,100
commute patterns have changed, people

2143
01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:20,100
are not going into the office five

2144
01:37:20,100 --> 01:37:23,100
days a week, we see a high water

2145
01:37:23,100 --> 01:37:25,100
mark of three day as week.

2146
01:37:25,100 --> 01:37:27,100
ridership is growing but not as much

2147
01:37:27,100 --> 01:37:28,100
as it was before, costs have risen

2148
01:37:28,100 --> 01:37:32,100
with inflation and we to have another

2149
01:37:32,100 --> 01:37:34,100
50 plus miles of new infrastructure we

2150
01:37:34,100 --> 01:37:36,100
have in place that we have to

2151
01:37:36,100 --> 01:37:38,100
maintain with our new electrified

2152
01:37:38,100 --> 01:37:41,100
system that we didn't have before.

2153
01:37:41,100 --> 01:37:43,100
again, this is what it looks like over

2154
01:37:43,100 --> 01:37:45,100
time and we know we really need to

2155
01:37:45,100 --> 01:37:46,100
manage this carefully.

2156
01:37:46,100 --> 01:37:48,100
so what we're doing is looking

2157
01:37:48,100 --> 01:37:50,100
internally first, what are we doing to

2158
01:37:50,100 --> 01:37:53,100
be a well run organization that's

2159
01:37:53,100 --> 01:37:55,100
looking everywhere for cost

2160
01:37:55,100 --> 01:37:57,100
containment strategy, strategic

2161
01:37:57,100 --> 01:37:59,401
hiring freezes, a comprehensive

2162
01:38:00,100 --> 01:38:02,100
cost reduction efficiency program.

2163
01:38:02,100 --> 01:38:05,100
we held our operating contractor to

2164
01:38:05,100 --> 01:38:07,100
previous year levels which looks like

2165
01:38:07,100 --> 01:38:08,100
a cut then.

2166
01:38:08,100 --> 01:38:10,100
we have crew inefficiencies recouping

2167
01:38:10,100 --> 01:38:12,401
costs from electricity, we're

2168
01:38:13,100 --> 01:38:14,100
sending back 40% of our electricity

2169
01:38:14,100 --> 01:38:17,100
to the grid and 20% of it is what

2170
01:38:17,100 --> 01:38:19,100
goes there, we weren't getting paid

2171
01:38:19,100 --> 01:38:22,100
for that until recently with help of

2172
01:38:22,100 --> 01:38:24,100
some of our elected officials.

2173
01:38:24,100 --> 01:38:25,100
we appreciate that support.

2174
01:38:25,100 --> 01:38:28,100
we also have looked at the past mtc

2175
01:38:28,100 --> 01:38:30,100
recently did a study showing over the

2176
01:38:30,100 --> 01:38:33,100
past five years, caltrain saved

2177
01:38:33,100 --> 01:38:36,100
roughly 70 million dollars on cost

2178
01:38:39,100 --> 01:38:40,100
containment strategies, this month the

2179
01:38:40,100 --> 01:38:41,100
federal government, the triannual

2180
01:38:41,100 --> 01:38:42,100
review is an audit of our system, they

2181
01:38:42,100 --> 01:38:44,100
found no findings, that means we're

2182
01:38:44,100 --> 01:38:45,100
doing business to the best of our

2183
01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:46,100
ability and being transparent and

2184
01:38:46,100 --> 01:38:48,100
doing it well.

2185
01:38:49,100 --> 01:38:50,100
but we need to look on the other side

2186
01:38:50,100 --> 01:38:51,100
as well.

2187
01:38:51,100 --> 01:38:53,100
how can we monetize all of the assets

2188
01:38:53,100 --> 01:38:55,100
we have so we're making sure we're

2189
01:38:55,100 --> 01:38:57,100
bringing in revenue from different

2190
01:38:57,100 --> 01:39:00,100
sources, on this slide, it shows of a

2191
01:39:00,100 --> 01:39:03,100
variety of the elements from the short

2192
01:39:03,100 --> 01:39:05,100
term items of these special events,

2193
01:39:05,100 --> 01:39:06,100
parking, advertising, to the onuses

2194
01:39:06,100 --> 01:39:09,100
that are longer term of leasing out,

2195
01:39:09,100 --> 01:39:12,100
fiber optic cable, these are

2196
01:39:12,100 --> 01:39:14,100
things we need to look at in the long

2197
01:39:14,100 --> 01:39:16,100
run to make sure we have strong

2198
01:39:16,100 --> 01:39:18,401
financial future for caltrain.

2199
01:39:20,100 --> 01:39:21,100
so as michelle said, we have

2200
01:39:21,100 --> 01:39:23,100
been talking to our board for many,

2201
01:39:23,100 --> 01:39:25,100
many months about this and what it

2202
01:39:25,100 --> 01:39:27,100
looks like, in june, our board adopted

2203
01:39:27,100 --> 01:39:29,100
a framework for what we need to look

2204
01:39:29,100 --> 01:39:33,100
at and this is giving us two paths, if

2205
01:39:33,100 --> 01:39:35,100
in november there is a successful

2206
01:39:35,100 --> 01:39:37,100
outcome, we will be able to continue

2207
01:39:37,100 --> 01:39:40,100
the level of service that we have been

2208
01:39:40,100 --> 01:39:42,100
providing and the quality that we know

2209
01:39:42,100 --> 01:39:44,401
that provides the region.

2210
01:39:45,100 --> 01:39:49,801
if it does not and there isn't another

2211
01:39:50,100 --> 01:39:52,100
external source of funding, we will

2212
01:39:52,100 --> 01:39:53,100
have to prepare and look at what those

2213
01:39:53,100 --> 01:39:55,100
cuts could look like and being

2214
01:39:55,100 --> 01:39:57,100
transparent about what that could mean.

2215
01:39:57,100 --> 01:39:59,100
so we've presented to the caltrain

2216
01:39:59,100 --> 01:40:02,100
board these options, again, today, the

2217
01:40:02,100 --> 01:40:04,100
service frequency we have but what we

2218
01:40:04,100 --> 01:40:05,100
have been talking about is hourly

2219
01:40:05,100 --> 01:40:09,100
service going back to that, no weekend

2220
01:40:09,100 --> 01:40:10,100
service, early shutdowns, no special

2221
01:40:10,100 --> 01:40:12,100
events and station closures.

2222
01:40:12,100 --> 01:40:14,100
this is not something we do lightly

2223
01:40:14,100 --> 01:40:17,601
because we know especially for rail

2224
01:40:18,100 --> 01:40:19,100
systems, this doesn't help nus the

2225
01:40:19,100 --> 01:40:22,100
long run, it will start the downward

2226
01:40:22,100 --> 01:40:24,100
spiral when we have less riders and

2227
01:40:24,100 --> 01:40:26,100
less revenue.

2228
01:40:32,100 --> 01:40:34,100
and then the last slide here is that

2229
01:40:34,100 --> 01:40:37,100
we are calling this an inflection

2230
01:40:37,100 --> 01:40:38,100
point, we certainly are not taking

2231
01:40:38,100 --> 01:40:40,100
this issue lightly and we're going

2232
01:40:40,100 --> 01:40:42,100
around to the different cities and to

2233
01:40:42,100 --> 01:40:46,100
the board of supervisors to make sure

2234
01:40:46,100 --> 01:40:49,100
we're here to answer your questions,

2235
01:40:49,100 --> 01:40:50,100
to know what we're thinking about and

2236
01:40:50,100 --> 01:40:51,100
being prepared for what comes ahead.

2237
01:40:51,100 --> 01:40:52,100
with that, we're happy to answer any

2238
01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:54,401
questions you may have.

2239
01:40:55,100 --> 01:40:56,100
>> thank you so much, supervisor

2240
01:40:56,100 --> 01:40:57,100
mueller?

2241
01:40:57,100 --> 01:41:00,100
>> I do have a question,

2242
01:41:01,100 --> 01:41:03,100
the special event training for the

2243
01:41:03,100 --> 01:41:05,100
giantess are very popular.

2244
01:41:05,100 --> 01:41:07,100
they're also very full.

2245
01:41:07,100 --> 01:41:09,100
and I've always wondered why it was

2246
01:41:09,100 --> 01:41:11,100
threatened that you would be canceling

2247
01:41:11,100 --> 01:41:13,100
trains that were full?

2248
01:41:13,100 --> 01:41:14,100
why is that?

2249
01:41:14,100 --> 01:41:15,100
>> yeah.

2250
01:41:15,100 --> 01:41:18,100
I think that it's really with a gap as

2251
01:41:18,100 --> 01:41:21,100
big as the one we're looking at, no

2252
01:41:21,100 --> 01:41:23,100
one small piece is going to do it.

2253
01:41:23,100 --> 01:41:26,100
you have to look at all of the

2254
01:41:26,100 --> 01:41:28,100
different kind of levels of where

2255
01:41:28,100 --> 01:41:29,100
we're going to have to pull the

2256
01:41:29,100 --> 01:41:31,100
trigger for that.

2257
01:41:31,100 --> 01:41:34,100
I think we will also have a more

2258
01:41:34,100 --> 01:41:36,100
detailed analysis if we need to come

2259
01:41:36,100 --> 01:41:39,100
back in january of what does the

2260
01:41:39,100 --> 01:41:41,100
detail look behind these major kind of

2261
01:41:41,100 --> 01:41:43,100
elements we're talking about.

2262
01:41:43,100 --> 01:41:45,100
I don't know, michelle, if you want to

2263
01:41:45,100 --> 01:41:47,100
add anything on to it.

2264
01:41:47,100 --> 01:41:49,100
>> that logic doesn't really carry

2265
01:41:49,100 --> 01:41:52,100
for me, the giants day trains which

2266
01:41:52,100 --> 01:41:54,100
happen throughout the season are full

2267
01:41:54,100 --> 01:41:56,100
trains, yet the public is being

2268
01:41:56,100 --> 01:41:58,100
threatened with those special event

2269
01:41:58,100 --> 01:41:59,100
trains being cancelled.

2270
01:41:59,100 --> 01:42:01,100
I don't understand the logic if

2271
01:42:01,100 --> 01:42:03,100
they're full and they're actually --

2272
01:42:03,100 --> 01:42:06,100
some of the fullest trains caltrain

2273
01:42:06,100 --> 01:42:07,100
has.

2274
01:42:07,100 --> 01:42:08,100
>> they're also the most expensive

2275
01:42:08,100 --> 01:42:10,100
type of trains to put out on the

2276
01:42:10,100 --> 01:42:12,100
service because we're operating all of

2277
01:42:12,100 --> 01:42:13,100
it at overtime.

2278
01:42:13,100 --> 01:42:14,100
>> can you get closer to the mic.,

2279
01:42:14,100 --> 01:42:16,100
please.

2280
01:42:16,100 --> 01:42:18,100
>> we're operating all at overtime.

2281
01:42:18,100 --> 01:42:20,100
>> why would you be operating at

2282
01:42:20,100 --> 01:42:22,100
overtime if you were canceling trains

2283
01:42:22,100 --> 01:42:23,100
that weren't full?

2284
01:42:23,100 --> 01:42:25,100
>> because it wouldn't be part of the

2285
01:42:25,100 --> 01:42:26,100
regular service.

2286
01:42:26,100 --> 01:42:28,100
every train that we operate beyond

2287
01:42:28,100 --> 01:42:31,100
what is planned for, so, if we have to

2288
01:42:31,100 --> 01:42:34,100
go to hourly service, that is what we

2289
01:42:34,100 --> 01:42:36,100
will be building out with the crews, so

2290
01:42:36,100 --> 01:42:39,100
anything else that is added on top of

2291
01:42:39,100 --> 01:42:40,100
that would be at overtime.

2292
01:42:40,100 --> 01:42:43,100
>> why wouldn't you be scheduling --

2293
01:42:43,100 --> 01:42:45,100
if you're canceling, if you're doing

2294
01:42:45,100 --> 01:42:47,100
service reductions and you're getting

2295
01:42:47,100 --> 01:42:49,100
rid of trains that presumably aren't

2296
01:42:49,100 --> 01:42:51,100
full and paying for theses, why

2297
01:42:51,100 --> 01:42:52,100
wouldn't you add into regular service

2298
01:42:52,100 --> 01:42:54,100
the trains that you're calling special

2299
01:42:54,100 --> 01:42:56,100
event now which are full and producing

2300
01:42:56,100 --> 01:42:57,100
revenue?

2301
01:42:57,100 --> 01:43:00,100
>> to be clear, when you talk about

2302
01:43:00,100 --> 01:43:03,100
that logic, we won't be operating

2303
01:43:03,100 --> 01:43:05,100
express trains either anymore because

2304
01:43:05,100 --> 01:43:08,100
we are obligated to provide coverage --

2305
01:43:08,100 --> 01:43:09,100
>> that's not answering my question.

2306
01:43:09,100 --> 01:43:11,100
I wasn't talking about express trains.

2307
01:43:11,100 --> 01:43:15,100
>> but those are also the most crowded

2308
01:43:15,100 --> 01:43:19,201
trains, I wanted to draw a parallel,

2309
01:43:20,100 --> 01:43:22,100
we have to basically strip the service

2310
01:43:22,100 --> 01:43:25,601
down to the most efficient service

2311
01:43:27,100 --> 01:43:29,100
possible.

2312
01:43:29,100 --> 01:43:30,100
we don't make money on any of the

2313
01:43:30,100 --> 01:43:31,100
service.

2314
01:43:31,100 --> 01:43:32,100
>> I'm still lost, so you're saying

2315
01:43:32,100 --> 01:43:34,100
that you would be canceling your

2316
01:43:34,100 --> 01:43:36,401
most high demand trains?

2317
01:43:38,100 --> 01:43:42,100
>> yes, because we have to provide the

2318
01:43:42,100 --> 01:43:43,100
most efficient service.

2319
01:43:43,100 --> 01:43:46,601
it's high demand, it's also the

2320
01:43:48,100 --> 01:43:52,201
highest cost and the fares are higher

2321
01:43:53,100 --> 01:43:54,100
than the ones we're getting on those

2322
01:43:54,100 --> 01:43:56,100
trains.

2323
01:43:59,100 --> 01:44:00,100
>> we can revisit this.

2324
01:44:00,100 --> 01:44:02,100
>> we're happy to sit down with you

2325
01:44:02,100 --> 01:44:03,100
and share the numbers.

2326
01:44:03,100 --> 01:44:05,100
>> okay, thank you for spading to

2327
01:44:05,100 --> 01:44:06,100
those questions.

2328
01:44:06,100 --> 01:44:07,100
I have a couple myself as well.

2329
01:44:07,100 --> 01:44:12,401
so, I have a few questions and I kind

2330
01:44:15,100 --> 01:44:18,100
of want to speak in laymen's terms for

2331
01:44:18,100 --> 01:44:21,100
folks that are new to transit.

2332
01:44:21,100 --> 01:44:23,100
one of the examples that I like to

2333
01:44:23,100 --> 01:44:25,100
share with folks especially that are

2334
01:44:25,100 --> 01:44:27,100
not from the bay area that are like

2335
01:44:27,100 --> 01:44:29,100
why is our transit in jeopardy, like,

2336
01:44:29,100 --> 01:44:32,100
I don't get it, right.

2337
01:44:32,100 --> 01:44:33,100
so, folks that come from other parts

2338
01:44:33,100 --> 01:44:37,100
of the country or the world for

2339
01:44:37,100 --> 01:44:40,100
example, it's very foreign to them

2340
01:44:40,100 --> 01:44:43,601
that our public transit systems are

2341
01:44:46,100 --> 01:44:48,100
fare-based, that they're funded by

2342
01:44:48,100 --> 01:44:51,100
fares and that's why we find ourselves

2343
01:44:51,100 --> 01:44:54,100
in these -- in this situation where we

2344
01:44:54,100 --> 01:44:56,401
are at fiscal cliffs.

2345
01:44:57,100 --> 01:44:59,100
that's like the most basic way I can

2346
01:44:59,100 --> 01:45:01,100
explain it to people because in other

2347
01:45:01,100 --> 01:45:04,601
areas where transit is very reliable

2348
01:45:05,100 --> 01:45:08,601
and like much more frequent services,

2349
01:45:11,100 --> 01:45:13,100
it's usually more like community

2350
01:45:13,100 --> 01:45:16,100
funded or government funded, like, has

2351
01:45:16,100 --> 01:45:17,100
different funding sources.

2352
01:45:17,100 --> 01:45:21,100
do you feel like that's part of the

2353
01:45:21,100 --> 01:45:23,100
core issue here?

2354
01:45:24,100 --> 01:45:26,100
>> yeah, absolutely.

2355
01:45:26,100 --> 01:45:29,100
the subsidies we get today compared to

2356
01:45:29,100 --> 01:45:31,100
many other places are dramatically

2357
01:45:31,100 --> 01:45:32,100
different.

2358
01:45:32,100 --> 01:45:33,100
>> okay.

2359
01:45:33,100 --> 01:45:37,100
and so because our systems are mostly

2360
01:45:37,100 --> 01:45:40,601
fare-based and funded by fares, we

2361
01:45:41,100 --> 01:45:44,100
face a reality that after the pandemic

2362
01:45:44,100 --> 01:45:46,100
with so many people working from home,

2363
01:45:46,100 --> 01:45:51,401
we have not been able to get back to

2364
01:45:52,100 --> 01:45:53,100
pre-pandemic ridership, correct?

2365
01:45:53,100 --> 01:45:54,100
>> correct.

2366
01:45:54,100 --> 01:45:55,100
>> okay.

2367
01:45:55,100 --> 01:45:57,100
>> yes.

2368
01:45:57,100 --> 01:46:01,201
>> okay, so now basically all of the

2369
01:46:03,100 --> 01:46:06,601
bay area transit operators are in

2370
01:46:09,100 --> 01:46:12,100
these fiscally dire situations and

2371
01:46:13,100 --> 01:46:17,801
even as you were saying, the most --

2372
01:46:20,100 --> 01:46:22,100
the -- I forget what term you were

2373
01:46:22,100 --> 01:46:26,201
saying, like the most -- yeah, the

2374
01:46:28,100 --> 01:46:32,201
highest in demand trains which are the

2375
01:46:33,100 --> 01:46:34,100
most expensive including express which

2376
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:38,801
kind of blows my mind would be --

2377
01:46:39,100 --> 01:46:43,100
would no longer be available to people

2378
01:46:43,100 --> 01:46:45,100
because they're just more expensive to

2379
01:46:45,100 --> 01:46:46,100
operate.

2380
01:46:46,100 --> 01:46:48,100
so, can you give me an example of like

2381
01:46:48,100 --> 01:46:51,100
-- let's say an hourly that stops at

2382
01:46:51,100 --> 01:46:52,100
every stop versus an express, what's

2383
01:46:52,100 --> 01:46:54,100
the difference in the cost to operate

2384
01:46:54,100 --> 01:46:56,100
those for example?

2385
01:46:58,100 --> 01:47:00,100
>> yeah, so, when you cost it out, you

2386
01:47:00,100 --> 01:47:03,100
have to cost it out as a complete

2387
01:47:03,100 --> 01:47:04,100
system.

2388
01:47:04,100 --> 01:47:05,100
so, the most expensive type of service

2389
01:47:05,100 --> 01:47:08,100
to operate is in the peak period

2390
01:47:08,100 --> 01:47:09,100
because you're operating a lot of

2391
01:47:09,100 --> 01:47:11,100
trains all at once, so we're not

2392
01:47:11,100 --> 01:47:14,100
able to use the crews as efficiently

2393
01:47:14,100 --> 01:47:17,100
as if we're operating trains once an

2394
01:47:17,100 --> 01:47:20,100
hour or respectively, so --

2395
01:47:25,100 --> 01:47:26,100
repetitively.

2396
01:47:26,100 --> 01:47:28,100
it's difficult to do that on a train

2397
01:47:28,100 --> 01:47:30,100
by train passes because we have to take

2398
01:47:30,100 --> 01:47:32,100
the entire system cost into account.

2399
01:47:32,100 --> 01:47:35,100
but the fact is you're probably using

2400
01:47:35,100 --> 01:47:38,100
the peak period crews to probably only

2401
01:47:38,100 --> 01:47:41,100
operate two trains but you're still

2402
01:47:41,100 --> 01:47:43,100
paying them 8 hours versus if you're

2403
01:47:43,100 --> 01:47:45,100
operating a steady amount of trains

2404
01:47:45,100 --> 01:47:48,100
throughout the day so no peaking, and

2405
01:47:48,100 --> 01:47:50,100
that way believe it or not, the crews

2406
01:47:50,100 --> 01:47:53,100
can be used more efficiently, you just

2407
01:47:53,100 --> 01:47:56,100
can't provide the type of service that

2408
01:47:56,100 --> 01:47:58,100
would be express or would be peaked

2409
01:47:58,100 --> 01:47:59,100
service.

2410
01:47:59,100 --> 01:48:02,100
>> okay, and then like for special

2411
01:48:02,100 --> 01:48:05,601
events, like, I mean, that changes

2412
01:48:06,100 --> 01:48:09,601
every season, right, and you don't

2413
01:48:10,100 --> 01:48:12,100
really likely like -- what does that

2414
01:48:12,100 --> 01:48:14,100
communication look like for the giants

2415
01:48:14,100 --> 01:48:18,100
games or the warriors games, like how

2416
01:48:18,100 --> 01:48:20,100
-- how much notice do you get on those

2417
01:48:20,100 --> 01:48:21,100
schedules?

2418
01:48:21,100 --> 01:48:23,100
>> sure, so we do it on a year by year

2419
01:48:23,100 --> 01:48:24,100
basis.

2420
01:48:24,100 --> 01:48:26,100
this year initially because we were

2421
01:48:26,100 --> 01:48:29,100
operating the half hourly service, we

2422
01:48:29,100 --> 01:48:31,100
didn't anticipate providing any

2423
01:48:31,100 --> 01:48:32,100
additional service but then once we

2424
01:48:32,100 --> 01:48:36,100
found that a lot more people were

2425
01:48:36,100 --> 01:48:39,601
riding the train, then we added

2426
01:48:41,100 --> 01:48:42,100
service, so we added service, I think

2427
01:48:42,100 --> 01:48:43,100
it was at the beginning of the season

2428
01:48:43,100 --> 01:48:44,100
this season but we were able to handle

2429
01:48:44,100 --> 01:48:45,100
the loads without extra service last

2430
01:48:45,100 --> 01:48:47,100
year because of the half hourly

2431
01:48:47,100 --> 01:48:49,100
service, so it all depends.

2432
01:48:49,100 --> 01:48:50,100
right now we find ourselves in

2433
01:48:50,100 --> 01:48:53,100
positions where we are providing more

2434
01:48:53,100 --> 01:48:55,100
rides to a all sorts of different

2435
01:48:55,100 --> 01:48:58,100
types of events on the peninsula, so

2436
01:48:58,100 --> 01:49:00,100
as an example, we have partnerships

2437
01:49:00,100 --> 01:49:03,100
with the sharks and bay fc, for

2438
01:49:03,100 --> 01:49:05,100
those games, we don't require extra

2439
01:49:05,100 --> 01:49:07,100
trains because of the loads.

2440
01:49:07,100 --> 01:49:09,100
>> okay, thank you.

2441
01:49:10,100 --> 01:49:11,100
supervisor canepa, did you have

2442
01:49:11,100 --> 01:49:12,100
questions?

2443
01:49:12,100 --> 01:49:13,100
>> yes, I do.

2444
01:49:13,100 --> 01:49:14,100
>> go ahead.

2445
01:49:14,100 --> 01:49:15,100
>> michelle, thank you for the

2446
01:49:15,100 --> 01:49:16,100
presentation.

2447
01:49:16,100 --> 01:49:18,100
you know, I have seen -- I take

2448
01:49:18,100 --> 01:49:20,100
highway 1 quite frequently, I take it

2449
01:49:20,100 --> 01:49:23,100
a lot, I have seen traffic pick up

2450
01:49:23,100 --> 01:49:24,100
quite a bit.

2451
01:49:24,100 --> 01:49:28,100
can you speak to -- I think a lot of

2452
01:49:28,100 --> 01:49:30,100
-- my work has been sort of focused in

2453
01:49:30,100 --> 01:49:33,100
this area, I sat on mtc, caltrain and

2454
01:49:33,100 --> 01:49:35,100
samtrans, so we understand it's not

2455
01:49:35,100 --> 01:49:37,100
just a caltrain issue, when you look

2456
01:49:37,100 --> 01:49:40,100
at the merits of the problem, it's a

2457
01:49:40,100 --> 01:49:43,100
ridership issue, there are a lot of

2458
01:49:43,100 --> 01:49:45,100
things, it's not just here in san

2459
01:49:45,100 --> 01:49:47,100
mateo county, we're talking

2460
01:49:47,100 --> 01:49:48,100
about muni.

2461
01:49:48,100 --> 01:49:51,100
I think you may want to correct me,

2462
01:49:51,100 --> 01:49:53,100
the estimated cost in terms of transit

2463
01:49:53,100 --> 01:49:57,201
and not having the dollars they need

2464
01:49:58,100 --> 01:50:00,401
is beyond 350 million dollars.

2465
01:50:01,100 --> 01:50:04,100
so, my question to you is we know that

2466
01:50:04,100 --> 01:50:07,601
in the bay area, 90% of people,

2467
01:50:10,100 --> 01:50:13,100
they're not taking public transit,

2468
01:50:14,100 --> 01:50:16,100
they're driving to work, some are, I'm

2469
01:50:16,100 --> 01:50:19,601
not saying not everyone, the majority

2470
01:50:21,100 --> 01:50:24,601
of the drivers, they drive their

2471
01:50:25,100 --> 01:50:27,100
vehicles, I lie more on a practical

2472
01:50:27,100 --> 01:50:29,100
level, what I'm concerned about, and

2473
01:50:29,100 --> 01:50:31,100
maybe it's in my self-interest,

2474
01:50:31,100 --> 01:50:33,100
sometimes you speak from that point of

2475
01:50:33,100 --> 01:50:37,201
view is if we don't have caltrain

2476
01:50:38,100 --> 01:50:41,100
operating especially in santa clara,

2477
01:50:41,100 --> 01:50:43,100
san francisco, in san mateo counties,

2478
01:50:43,100 --> 01:50:47,100
all of those people have to go

2479
01:50:47,100 --> 01:50:50,601
somewhere and that somewhere is our

2480
01:50:51,100 --> 01:50:54,100
freeways, so what we take for granted

2481
01:50:54,100 --> 01:50:57,100
now and then maybe you could talk

2482
01:50:57,100 --> 01:50:59,100
about what ridership is, that's a real

2483
01:50:59,100 --> 01:51:01,100
concern for me.

2484
01:51:01,100 --> 01:51:04,100
the other is based from a business

2485
01:51:04,100 --> 01:51:06,100
perspective, right, so we look at

2486
01:51:06,100 --> 01:51:08,100
employers, right, a lot of our

2487
01:51:08,100 --> 01:51:11,100
employers in san mateo county,

2488
01:51:12,100 --> 01:51:16,100
genentech, you know, you look at meta,

2489
01:51:16,100 --> 01:51:18,100
west of 101, there are a lot of people

2490
01:51:18,100 --> 01:51:21,100
who rely on this service as well, so,

2491
01:51:21,100 --> 01:51:24,100
to me, when I look at your structural

2492
01:51:24,100 --> 01:51:27,601
deficit, while I have a tremendous

2493
01:51:28,100 --> 01:51:30,100
amount of empathy on serving on

2494
01:51:30,100 --> 01:51:33,601
caltrain, I worry about our highways,

2495
01:51:36,100 --> 01:51:38,100
especially 101, being flooded with

2496
01:51:38,100 --> 01:51:39,100
cars.

2497
01:51:39,100 --> 01:51:42,601
can you speak to that, have

2498
01:51:46,100 --> 01:51:48,100
you dod modeling, have you looked into

2499
01:51:48,100 --> 01:51:50,100
the impact of if caltrain were to spot

2500
01:51:50,100 --> 01:51:53,100
and you were having a hard time

2501
01:51:53,100 --> 01:51:54,100
answering supervisor mueller's

2502
01:51:54,100 --> 01:51:56,100
question, let me answer it for you a

2503
01:51:56,100 --> 01:51:57,100
little bit.

2504
01:51:57,100 --> 01:51:59,100
one of the issues I think and we've

2505
01:51:59,100 --> 01:52:00,100
talked about this and maybe you can

2506
01:52:00,100 --> 01:52:04,100
sort of add a little bit of

2507
01:52:04,100 --> 01:52:06,100
flavor to what he asked, we talked

2508
01:52:06,100 --> 01:52:09,100
about the frequency, the ability to

2509
01:52:09,100 --> 01:52:11,100
get trains going at a rhythm, a sort

2510
01:52:11,100 --> 01:52:13,100
of mode.

2511
01:52:13,100 --> 01:52:16,100
if it comes to express and if it comes

2512
01:52:16,100 --> 01:52:19,100
to these giants games, that's not even

2513
01:52:19,100 --> 01:52:23,100
on the table because if we do not

2514
01:52:23,100 --> 01:52:25,100
receive the dollars for transit, you

2515
01:52:25,100 --> 01:52:28,100
won't -- you're not going to have

2516
01:52:28,100 --> 01:52:29,100
transit, you're going to have to shut

2517
01:52:29,100 --> 01:52:32,601
down stations and my issue, supervisor

2518
01:52:34,100 --> 01:52:37,100
mueller, with staff is we've been

2519
01:52:37,100 --> 01:52:39,100
painting this picture and they're

2520
01:52:39,100 --> 01:52:41,100
working towards that, everything is

2521
01:52:41,100 --> 01:52:42,100
great.

2522
01:52:42,100 --> 01:52:43,100
no, not everything -- everything is

2523
01:52:43,100 --> 01:52:45,100
not great.

2524
01:52:45,100 --> 01:52:48,100
if this doesn't work out, caltrain and

2525
01:52:48,100 --> 01:52:51,100
I know staff has gone through

2526
01:52:51,100 --> 01:52:53,100
different models, very responsible,

2527
01:52:53,100 --> 01:52:55,401
caltrain could potentially close.

2528
01:52:58,100 --> 01:52:59,100
as a board member, I firmly -- I know

2529
01:52:59,100 --> 01:53:01,100
it's hard to believe, but I firmly

2530
01:53:01,100 --> 01:53:03,100
believe it can happen.

2531
01:53:03,100 --> 01:53:05,100
you will have service that will even

2532
01:53:05,100 --> 01:53:09,100
if you take the service right now,

2533
01:53:09,100 --> 01:53:12,100
michelle, and we dwindle it all the

2534
01:53:12,100 --> 01:53:14,100
way down, it's a problem -- you don't

2535
01:53:14,100 --> 01:53:17,100
have the revenue, you don't have the

2536
01:53:17,100 --> 01:53:21,100
ridership and to me, that's a problem.

2537
01:53:21,100 --> 01:53:24,100
I wasn't trying to be hard on you,

2538
01:53:24,100 --> 01:53:25,100
michelle.

2539
01:53:25,100 --> 01:53:26,100
I know you've taken this position of

2540
01:53:26,100 --> 01:53:28,401
being balanced and providing

2541
01:53:29,100 --> 01:53:32,100
alternatives as a responsible ceo, but

2542
01:53:32,100 --> 01:53:34,100
the general public, they have no idea

2543
01:53:34,100 --> 01:53:37,100
what's going to happen until we don't

2544
01:53:37,100 --> 01:53:40,100
have that 75 million dollars and that

2545
01:53:40,100 --> 01:53:42,401
75 million dollars is 75 million

2546
01:53:44,100 --> 01:53:47,100
dollars over 10 years which is 750

2547
01:53:47,100 --> 01:53:49,100
million dollars and I know people,

2548
01:53:49,100 --> 01:53:52,100
they love -- I love caltrain, it's my

2549
01:53:52,100 --> 01:53:54,100
favorite transit system, don't tell

2550
01:53:54,100 --> 01:53:56,100
april chan, I'll get in trouble, but

2551
01:53:56,100 --> 01:53:58,100
I love the clean trains, I love

2552
01:53:58,100 --> 01:54:00,100
how fast they move throughout the

2553
01:54:00,100 --> 01:54:01,100
system.

2554
01:54:01,100 --> 01:54:05,100
it would be a shame if it's not

2555
01:54:05,100 --> 01:54:06,100
funded.

2556
01:54:06,100 --> 01:54:08,100
so, I appreciate that and I'll give it

2557
01:54:08,100 --> 01:54:09,100
back to the chair.

2558
01:54:09,100 --> 01:54:11,100
>> thank you, supervisor mueller?

2559
01:54:11,100 --> 01:54:15,801
>> yes, so I'm going to be very care

2560
01:54:18,100 --> 01:54:19,100
ful not to talk about what's happening

2561
01:54:19,100 --> 01:54:20,100
in november because I don't think

2562
01:54:20,100 --> 01:54:21,100
that's appropriate in this setting or

2563
01:54:21,100 --> 01:54:24,100
the money that might come from it, may

2564
01:54:24,100 --> 01:54:25,100
or may not.

2565
01:54:25,100 --> 01:54:27,100
but what I do want to say to you all

2566
01:54:27,100 --> 01:54:30,100
is I think that as I look at this and

2567
01:54:30,100 --> 01:54:32,100
the question that I think caltrain has

2568
01:54:32,100 --> 01:54:34,100
to grapple with in these presentations

2569
01:54:34,100 --> 01:54:36,100
they're giving and what they're

2570
01:54:36,100 --> 01:54:37,100
messaging to the public is that there

2571
01:54:37,100 --> 01:54:40,601
is no recognition that instead of

2572
01:54:41,100 --> 01:54:43,100
canceling peak time service when the

2573
01:54:43,100 --> 01:54:45,100
freeways would be full, if it wasn't

2574
01:54:45,100 --> 01:54:48,100
there, or the giants service which is

2575
01:54:48,100 --> 01:54:51,100
full, whether or not caltrain if it

2576
01:54:51,100 --> 01:54:55,100
put this, this option would move to

2577
01:54:55,100 --> 01:54:58,601
an hourly service instead of abon

2578
01:55:01,100 --> 01:55:04,100
demand service and reallocated staff

2579
01:55:04,100 --> 01:55:07,100
when there weren't people riding the

2580
01:55:07,100 --> 01:55:09,100
train that much to the peak hours and

2581
01:55:09,100 --> 01:55:12,100
when the people ride to the giants

2582
01:55:12,100 --> 01:55:14,100
game, that is the fundamental thing

2583
01:55:14,100 --> 01:55:16,100
that most taxpayers when they looked

2584
01:55:16,100 --> 01:55:18,100
at what was being presented them at

2585
01:55:18,100 --> 01:55:21,100
this time thinks that seems hollow.

2586
01:55:21,100 --> 01:55:23,100
why isn't caltrain talking about

2587
01:55:23,100 --> 01:55:24,100
reduction of service during non-peak

2588
01:55:24,100 --> 01:55:27,601
hours and that's something that hasn't

2589
01:55:28,100 --> 01:55:32,100
been addressed and I think has to be

2590
01:55:32,100 --> 01:55:34,100
grappled with.

2591
01:55:34,100 --> 01:55:36,100
>> supervisor, we'll be happy to

2592
01:55:36,100 --> 01:55:38,100
include messaging with respect to that

2593
01:55:38,100 --> 01:55:41,100
because obviously it's not clear.

2594
01:55:41,100 --> 01:55:43,100
a train does not cost the same as it

2595
01:55:43,100 --> 01:55:47,100
does in the off peak as it does in the

2596
01:55:47,100 --> 01:55:50,100
peak period and there's no period

2597
01:55:50,100 --> 01:55:53,100
during the day that we cover 100% of

2598
01:55:53,100 --> 01:55:55,100
our costs.

2599
01:55:55,100 --> 01:55:57,100
even with enhanced ridership, so I

2600
01:55:57,100 --> 01:55:59,100
can't take an off peak train, push it

2601
01:55:59,100 --> 01:56:03,100
into the peak period to provide more

2602
01:56:03,100 --> 01:56:06,100
capacity there because it will cost

2603
01:56:06,100 --> 01:56:10,100
much more than it's costing if I'm

2604
01:56:10,100 --> 01:56:11,100
operating it during the day.

2605
01:56:11,100 --> 01:56:14,100
>> but that's not what I'm asking you

2606
01:56:14,100 --> 01:56:16,100
to do.

2607
01:56:16,100 --> 01:56:17,100
I'm asking you to consider is

2608
01:56:17,100 --> 01:56:19,100
canceling the off peak train and

2609
01:56:19,100 --> 01:56:21,100
taking the staff hours that you say

2610
01:56:21,100 --> 01:56:23,100
are so expensive and reallocating them

2611
01:56:23,100 --> 01:56:26,100
to the peak period so you can keep the

2612
01:56:26,100 --> 01:56:28,100
peak period going.

2613
01:56:28,100 --> 01:56:30,100
I'm not asking you to add trains to

2614
01:56:30,100 --> 01:56:32,100
peak, I'm asking you to reallocate

2615
01:56:32,100 --> 01:56:34,100
staff time because you say it's so

2616
01:56:34,100 --> 01:56:37,100
expensive to run the peak cars because

2617
01:56:37,100 --> 01:56:40,100
of staff time so, there must be some

2618
01:56:40,100 --> 01:56:42,100
cost savings by canceling non-peak

2619
01:56:42,100 --> 01:56:45,100
empty trains and that's not being

2620
01:56:45,100 --> 01:56:46,100
accounted for in the discussion with

2621
01:56:46,100 --> 01:56:48,100
the public.

2622
01:56:51,100 --> 01:56:53,100
>> supervisor, I'll take your comment

2623
01:56:53,100 --> 01:56:54,100
as feedback.

2624
01:56:54,100 --> 01:56:56,100
>> thank you.

2625
01:56:56,100 --> 01:57:00,100
>> so, can I just ask a question here.

2626
01:57:00,100 --> 01:57:01,100
supervisor mueller and supervisor

2627
01:57:01,100 --> 01:57:04,100
canepa are on the caltrain

2628
01:57:06,100 --> 01:57:07,100
board.

2629
01:57:07,100 --> 01:57:08,100
supervisor speier?

2630
01:57:08,100 --> 01:57:10,100
>> so, only supervisor

2631
01:57:10,100 --> 01:57:13,100
canepa is on the caltrain board, do we

2632
01:57:13,100 --> 01:57:15,100
normally have one?

2633
01:57:15,100 --> 01:57:16,100
we've always only had one?

2634
01:57:16,100 --> 01:57:18,100
interesting, okay.

2635
01:57:21,100 --> 01:57:23,100
okay, just was wondering.

2636
01:57:23,100 --> 01:57:24,100
supervisor speier, did you want the

2637
01:57:24,100 --> 01:57:25,100
make a comment?

2638
01:57:25,100 --> 01:57:27,100
>> yes, first of all, thank you for

2639
01:57:27,100 --> 01:57:29,100
the presentation.

2640
01:57:29,100 --> 01:57:32,100
I think you know my great love of

2641
01:57:32,100 --> 01:57:35,100
caltrain, the money we go for the baby

2642
01:57:35,100 --> 01:57:38,100
bullet, the money we got for

2643
01:57:38,100 --> 01:57:40,100
electrification, I'm a big fan.

2644
01:57:40,100 --> 01:57:44,100
I am not a big fan of the warfare

2645
01:57:44,100 --> 01:57:47,100
going on between caltrain and

2646
01:57:50,100 --> 01:57:54,201
samtrans, we spend so much time trying

2647
01:57:55,100 --> 01:57:58,100
to deal with a reality that exists

2648
01:57:58,100 --> 01:58:02,201
that samtrans has the right to manage

2649
01:58:03,100 --> 01:58:06,100
the two agencies as long as it wants

2650
01:58:06,100 --> 01:58:10,100
based on an mou but there is constant

2651
01:58:10,100 --> 01:58:12,100
efforts to undermine that and I know

2652
01:58:12,100 --> 01:58:15,100
you're in a rock and a hard place

2653
01:58:15,100 --> 01:58:17,401
because you have a

2654
01:58:19,100 --> 01:58:22,100
jpb that is trying to rest the power

2655
01:58:22,100 --> 01:58:25,100
from samtrans but at some point,

2656
01:58:25,100 --> 01:58:27,100
we're all public employees, we all

2657
01:58:27,100 --> 01:58:31,100
have to work together and I think it

2658
01:58:31,100 --> 01:58:34,100
undermines your efforts to want to get

2659
01:58:34,100 --> 01:58:36,100
more financing when there's all this

2660
01:58:36,100 --> 01:58:39,100
quibbling going on constantly and I

2661
01:58:39,100 --> 01:58:42,100
find that half the time I feel I'm on

2662
01:58:42,100 --> 01:58:44,100
the caltrain board only because the

2663
01:58:44,100 --> 01:58:47,601
issues that samtrans is dealing with

2664
01:58:51,100 --> 01:58:53,100
are all about governance so I'm

2665
01:58:53,100 --> 01:58:54,100
happening that as part of all of this,

2666
01:58:54,100 --> 01:58:56,100
we're going to find a way for everyone

2667
01:58:56,100 --> 01:58:58,100
to work together.

2668
01:58:59,100 --> 01:59:02,100
and for the representatives from santa

2669
01:59:02,100 --> 01:59:04,100
clara and san francisco that feel they

2670
01:59:04,100 --> 01:59:07,100
want to be in charge when it was

2671
01:59:07,100 --> 01:59:09,100
samtrans that purchased the right of

2672
01:59:09,100 --> 01:59:12,100
way, samtrans that has kept

2673
01:59:12,100 --> 01:59:16,100
it alive, I think we should make that

2674
01:59:16,100 --> 01:59:20,801
very clear and while your job is to

2675
01:59:21,100 --> 01:59:24,100
make everyone happy on the caltrain

2676
01:59:24,100 --> 01:59:28,100
board, part of it is getting some

2677
01:59:28,100 --> 01:59:30,100
adult representation that is going to

2678
01:59:30,100 --> 01:59:33,100
stop the power grab that goes on that

2679
01:59:33,100 --> 01:59:35,100
is not productive.

2680
01:59:37,100 --> 01:59:41,100
>> I'm going to jump in here and just

2681
01:59:41,100 --> 01:59:45,201
say that as one of our county's

2682
01:59:47,100 --> 01:59:49,401
representatives on the county

2683
01:59:51,100 --> 01:59:53,100
transportation authority, I'm a little

2684
01:59:53,100 --> 01:59:56,100
confused about some of what is being

2685
01:59:56,100 --> 02:00:00,201
discussed here and I think maybe we

2686
02:00:01,100 --> 02:00:04,100
should at the county transportation

2687
02:00:04,100 --> 02:00:07,100
authority which does have a purview

2688
02:00:07,100 --> 02:00:11,801
over -- and provides funding to all of

2689
02:00:12,100 --> 02:00:13,100
the transportation operators in our

2690
02:00:13,100 --> 02:00:15,100
county have a discussion there about

2691
02:00:15,100 --> 02:00:18,100
all of the things that are being

2692
02:00:18,100 --> 02:00:22,100
discussed here and try to kind of

2693
02:00:22,100 --> 02:00:23,100
level set.

2694
02:00:23,100 --> 02:00:24,100
I don't know that we should continue

2695
02:00:24,100 --> 02:00:29,100
to do that here and now but I do

2696
02:00:29,100 --> 02:00:30,100
appreciate that we have brought

2697
02:00:30,100 --> 02:00:34,201
information here to the public on what

2698
02:00:36,100 --> 02:00:40,201
caltrain is facing, some of the future

2699
02:00:41,100 --> 02:00:43,100
decision points, also some of the

2700
02:00:43,100 --> 02:00:46,100
amazing improvements to the caltrain

2701
02:00:46,100 --> 02:00:48,100
system and I had no idea for example

2702
02:00:48,100 --> 02:00:51,100
that there are now like private trains

2703
02:00:51,100 --> 02:00:55,100
that people can take to -- not private

2704
02:00:55,100 --> 02:00:59,100
trains, private cars, did I get that

2705
02:00:59,100 --> 02:01:00,100
wrong, private cars that people can

2706
02:01:00,100 --> 02:01:01,100
can take to the giants game?

2707
02:01:01,100 --> 02:01:04,100
>> no, but as part of our -- as

2708
02:01:04,100 --> 02:01:05,100
looking into other funding sources,

2709
02:01:05,100 --> 02:01:07,100
you could buy a charter train and rent

2710
02:01:07,100 --> 02:01:11,100
it for that, but we today provide

2711
02:01:11,100 --> 02:01:13,100
service to many different things, yeah.

2712
02:01:13,100 --> 02:01:14,100
>> okay, yeah.

2713
02:01:14,100 --> 02:01:18,100
okay, so why don't we wrap this up, go

2714
02:01:18,100 --> 02:01:19,100
ahead, supervisor canepa?

2715
02:01:19,100 --> 02:01:21,100
>> first of all, let me just thank

2716
02:01:21,100 --> 02:01:22,100
you, michelle and casey.

2717
02:01:22,100 --> 02:01:25,100
I want so say this, I have four months

2718
02:01:25,100 --> 02:01:27,100
left but it's been an honor and a

2719
02:01:27,100 --> 02:01:30,100
privilege to serve on the caltrain

2720
02:01:30,100 --> 02:01:31,100
board.

2721
02:01:31,100 --> 02:01:33,100
yeah, we represent different counties

2722
02:01:33,100 --> 02:01:34,100
but I think through our body of work

2723
02:01:34,100 --> 02:01:37,100
and through your leadership, michelle

2724
02:01:37,100 --> 02:01:39,100
and casey, we've shown how to get

2725
02:01:39,100 --> 02:01:42,601
things done on a regional level,

2726
02:01:43,100 --> 02:01:45,100
whether it's diridon, whether it's

2727
02:01:45,100 --> 02:01:48,100
what's going on, on 4th street in san

2728
02:01:48,100 --> 02:01:51,100
francisco, whether it's looking at

2729
02:01:51,100 --> 02:01:53,100
various fare strategies, we have a

2730
02:01:53,100 --> 02:01:54,100
very hardworking staff.

2731
02:01:54,100 --> 02:01:59,100
we've done a lot, but as you know, my

2732
02:01:59,100 --> 02:02:00,100
experience, 18 years through various

2733
02:02:00,100 --> 02:02:03,100
boards, this board will soon feel it

2734
02:02:03,100 --> 02:02:06,100
and I'll soon feel it in my position.

2735
02:02:06,100 --> 02:02:08,100
when resources aren't there, that's

2736
02:02:08,100 --> 02:02:10,401
when it gets extraordinarily

2737
02:02:12,100 --> 02:02:15,100
challenging and so when you talk about

2738
02:02:15,100 --> 02:02:17,100
75 million dollars and you talk about

2739
02:02:17,100 --> 02:02:21,100
what the operating budget is, then you

2740
02:02:21,100 --> 02:02:24,100
talk about capital, you can try to

2741
02:02:24,100 --> 02:02:26,100
reduce service as much as you can, you

2742
02:02:26,100 --> 02:02:28,100
could try to identify efficiencies.

2743
02:02:28,100 --> 02:02:32,100
I have seen so many slides at

2744
02:02:32,100 --> 02:02:34,100
caltrain about this.

2745
02:02:34,100 --> 02:02:37,601
it's 75 million dollars, you can't --

2746
02:02:39,100 --> 02:02:42,100
you just can't do it, you need the

2747
02:02:42,100 --> 02:02:43,100
revenue.

2748
02:02:43,100 --> 02:02:45,100
and if you do cut services, spiral is

2749
02:02:45,100 --> 02:02:46,100
clearly this, when service is cut,

2750
02:02:46,100 --> 02:02:47,100
what happens?

2751
02:02:47,100 --> 02:02:49,100
you're not going to have the trains,

2752
02:02:49,100 --> 02:02:53,100
you're not going to have the people to

2753
02:02:53,100 --> 02:02:54,100
service.

2754
02:02:54,100 --> 02:02:55,100
there what happens is the fares are

2755
02:02:55,100 --> 02:02:57,100
then reduced so you compound a problem

2756
02:02:57,100 --> 02:03:01,100
by not having it, by having other

2757
02:03:01,100 --> 02:03:04,100
issues because you don't have

2758
02:03:04,100 --> 02:03:05,100
ridership.

2759
02:03:05,100 --> 02:03:07,100
and so I'm proud of what we've done,

2760
02:03:07,100 --> 02:03:10,100
yeah, the issues on governance, of

2761
02:03:10,100 --> 02:03:13,100
course, we've had some conversations,

2762
02:03:13,100 --> 02:03:14,100
michelle, right, about it.

2763
02:03:14,100 --> 02:03:18,100
we've talked about it but I think what

2764
02:03:18,100 --> 02:03:21,100
we've done is we've talked about it in

2765
02:03:21,100 --> 02:03:23,100
a respectful way with our colleagues

2766
02:03:23,100 --> 02:03:26,100
to figure things out and things are

2767
02:03:26,100 --> 02:03:29,100
tracking and make no mistake about it.

2768
02:03:29,100 --> 02:03:32,100
where caltrain resides is where

2769
02:03:32,100 --> 02:03:34,100
samtrans resides, where shared service

2770
02:03:34,100 --> 02:03:36,100
resides in saf and the provision and

2771
02:03:36,100 --> 02:03:39,100
division of staff members, they sit in

2772
02:03:39,100 --> 02:03:42,100
a beautiful building has was just

2773
02:03:42,100 --> 02:03:45,100
built or just occupied by caltrain a

2774
02:03:45,100 --> 02:03:47,100
couple of months ago, so I'm proud of

2775
02:03:47,100 --> 02:03:50,100
what we've done at samtrans, I'm proud

2776
02:03:50,100 --> 02:03:52,100
of what we're doing on caltrain and

2777
02:03:52,100 --> 02:03:56,100
this is not easy what you're embarking

2778
02:03:56,100 --> 02:03:57,100
on.

2779
02:03:57,100 --> 02:03:58,100
I'm glad you started with us first and

2780
02:03:58,100 --> 02:04:00,100
then move on to other cities but we do

2781
02:04:00,100 --> 02:04:02,100
have a problem and it does need to be

2782
02:04:02,100 --> 02:04:04,100
solved, so thank you, madam chair.

2783
02:04:04,100 --> 02:04:05,100
>> okay, thank you.

2784
02:04:05,100 --> 02:04:06,100
I believe this was a presentation

2785
02:04:06,100 --> 02:04:08,100
only, so we do need to take public

2786
02:04:08,100 --> 02:04:11,100
comment but no action is required.

2787
02:04:11,100 --> 02:04:13,100
thank you for the presentation.

2788
02:04:13,100 --> 02:04:15,100
we'll begin public comment now.

2789
02:04:15,100 --> 02:04:17,100
>> alright, I to not have speaker

2801
02:04:47,100 --> 02:04:49,401
>> that concludes public comment.

2802
02:05:01,100 --> 02:05:05,201
>> okay, moving on to the next item.

2803
02:05:08,100 --> 02:05:12,100
item number -- give me one second.

2804
02:05:12,100 --> 02:05:15,100
that's what I get for looking ahead on

2805
02:05:15,100 --> 02:05:17,100
the agenda.

2806
02:05:20,100 --> 02:05:21,100
>> item 8.

2807
02:05:21,100 --> 02:05:23,100
>> item 8, okay.

on in-home support services, so please

2813
02:05:40,100 --> 02:05:41,100
go ahead.

2814
02:05:41,100 --> 02:05:43,100
>> thank you, good morning, president

2815
02:05:43,100 --> 02:05:46,100
corzo, members of the board and mr.

2816
02:05:46,100 --> 02:05:49,100
callagy, nibbelin and mates, aging and

2817
02:05:49,100 --> 02:05:51,100
disability services division of county

2818
02:05:51,100 --> 02:05:54,100
health, before we begin our very short

2819
02:05:54,100 --> 02:05:56,401
presentation here, congratulations on

2820
02:05:58,100 --> 02:06:00,100
women's equality day, beautiful and

2821
02:06:00,100 --> 02:06:01,100
moving.

2822
02:06:01,100 --> 02:06:03,100
we are here on just a procedural

2823
02:06:03,100 --> 02:06:06,100
matter that's required by calpers

2824
02:06:06,100 --> 02:06:09,100
which provides retirement benefits for

2825
02:06:09,100 --> 02:06:12,601
ihss public authority staff and nicole

2826
02:06:13,100 --> 02:06:16,100
mckay who's our former employee --

2827
02:06:16,100 --> 02:06:17,100
labor and employer manager with human

2828
02:06:17,100 --> 02:06:19,100
resources has been helping us with

2829
02:06:19,100 --> 02:06:21,100
some of these negotiations, so just a

2830
02:06:21,100 --> 02:06:25,100
little bit of context for members the

2831
02:06:25,100 --> 02:06:26,100
public.

2832
02:06:26,100 --> 02:06:28,100
in-home support services, ihss, is a

2833
02:06:28,100 --> 02:06:31,100
medi-cal program that provides in-home

2834
02:06:31,100 --> 02:06:34,100
care support for people of any age who

2835
02:06:34,100 --> 02:06:35,100
are experiencing disabilities or

2836
02:06:35,100 --> 02:06:37,100
functional limitations and need the

2837
02:06:37,100 --> 02:06:41,100
help at home so they can avoid

2838
02:06:41,100 --> 02:06:42,100
institutional care.

2839
02:06:42,100 --> 02:06:45,100
the there is an adjunct

2840
02:06:48,100 --> 02:06:49,100
agency, public authority, the public

2841
02:06:49,100 --> 02:06:52,100
authority serves to support ihss

2842
02:06:52,100 --> 02:06:53,100
clients and care providers by

2843
02:06:53,100 --> 02:06:55,100
maintaining a registry for folks who

2844
02:06:55,100 --> 02:06:59,201
may need to find a care provider

2845
02:07:00,100 --> 02:07:01,100
to administer health care benefits

2846
02:07:01,100 --> 02:07:02,100
to our care providers and to act as

2847
02:07:02,100 --> 02:07:05,100
the employer of record when we get to

2848
02:07:05,100 --> 02:07:07,100
the negotiation period for wages.

2849
02:07:07,100 --> 02:07:10,100
again, this is a procedural matter

2850
02:07:10,100 --> 02:07:11,100
that calpers is requiring for us to

2851
02:07:11,100 --> 02:07:14,100
present to you rather than it be on

2852
02:07:14,100 --> 02:07:15,100
consent if you're wondering why and

2853
02:07:15,100 --> 02:07:17,100
I'm going to turn it over the nicole

2854
02:07:17,100 --> 02:07:21,100
who's been doing all the lifting on

2855
02:07:21,100 --> 02:07:22,100
this.

2856
02:07:22,100 --> 02:07:23,100
>> thank you, good morning.

2857
02:07:23,100 --> 02:07:25,100
>> welcome.

2858
02:07:28,100 --> 02:07:30,100
>> as lee said, we're asking you to

2859
02:07:30,100 --> 02:07:33,100
give consideration to an additional

2860
02:07:33,100 --> 02:07:34,100
procedural requirement and this is

2861
02:07:34,100 --> 02:07:37,100
required by calpers who provides the

2862
02:07:37,100 --> 02:07:39,100
retirement benefits to our 19 public

2863
02:07:39,100 --> 02:07:41,100
authority employees.

2864
02:07:41,100 --> 02:07:43,100
no benefits change by this action.

2865
02:07:43,100 --> 02:07:46,100
if it seems familiar, it is.

2866
02:07:46,100 --> 02:07:50,100
we were here before you in january

2867
02:07:50,100 --> 02:07:53,100
with basically the exact same

2868
02:07:53,100 --> 02:07:54,100
presentation.

2869
02:07:54,100 --> 02:07:55,100
at that time, the it was because

2870
02:07:55,100 --> 02:07:58,100
calpers required us to have you adopt

2871
02:07:58,100 --> 02:08:01,100
the that you intended to make this

2872
02:08:01,100 --> 02:08:02,100
change.

2873
02:08:02,100 --> 02:08:05,100
at this point we're asking that you

2874
02:08:05,100 --> 02:08:08,100
sign is paperwork to actually

2875
02:08:10,100 --> 02:08:11,100
make the change.

2876
02:08:11,100 --> 02:08:13,100
this only changes who provides the

2877
02:08:13,100 --> 02:08:16,100
monetary benefits should there be a

2878
02:08:16,100 --> 02:08:18,100
pre-retirement death.

2879
02:08:18,100 --> 02:08:21,100
previously this group had those

2880
02:08:23,100 --> 02:08:25,100
provided through calpers in 2021, this

2881
02:08:25,100 --> 02:08:28,601
group moved over to social security

2882
02:08:30,100 --> 02:08:32,100
and this pre-retirement benefit now

2883
02:08:32,100 --> 02:08:34,401
moves to that side.

2884
02:08:35,100 --> 02:08:37,100
so, should there be did -- this has

2885
02:08:37,100 --> 02:08:40,100
nothing to do with their actual

2886
02:08:40,100 --> 02:08:43,601
retirement benefits, this is only that

2887
02:08:44,100 --> 02:08:46,100
pre-retirement death benefit.

2888
02:08:46,100 --> 02:08:49,100
once they moved into social security,

2889
02:08:49,100 --> 02:08:51,401
calpers began this process.

2890
02:08:53,100 --> 02:08:56,100
we are now five years later, hopefully

2891
02:08:56,100 --> 02:08:58,100
at this point with your approval

2892
02:08:58,100 --> 02:09:00,100
finishing this process.

2893
02:09:00,100 --> 02:09:04,201
at this point I'll take any questions.

2894
02:09:05,100 --> 02:09:07,100
>> thank you so much.

2895
02:09:07,100 --> 02:09:10,100
any questions from the board?

2896
02:09:10,100 --> 02:09:11,100
okay.

2897
02:09:11,100 --> 02:09:12,100
hearing no questions, I'll just say

2898
02:09:12,100 --> 02:09:14,100
thank you so much for bringing this

2899
02:09:14,100 --> 02:09:15,100
back to us.

2900
02:09:15,100 --> 02:09:19,100
we know this is an important program

2901
02:09:19,100 --> 02:09:21,100
and folks receiving these services and

2902
02:09:21,100 --> 02:09:24,100
the support from your department

2903
02:09:26,100 --> 02:09:27,100
definitely need it, so I appreciate

2904
02:09:27,100 --> 02:09:29,401
this coming before us.

2905
02:09:30,100 --> 02:09:32,100
we will move on to public comment.

2906
02:09:32,100 --> 02:09:35,100
>> taking public comment on item

2907
02:09:35,100 --> 02:09:37,100
number 8, I do not have speaker cards

2908
02:09:37,100 --> 02:09:38,100
from chambers.

2909
02:09:38,100 --> 02:09:39,100
if you would like to speak on zoom,

2910
02:09:39,100 --> 02:09:42,601
raise your hand at this time.

2911
02:09:43,100 --> 02:09:46,601
seeing no hands, no public comment.

2912
02:09:48,100 --> 02:09:49,100
>> is there a motion to approve this

2913
02:09:49,100 --> 02:09:50,100

2914
02:09:50,100 --> 02:09:52,100

02:10:14,100 --> 02:10:16,100
county funding and agreements for

2932
02:10:16,100 --> 02:10:18,100
horizon recovery services, proposed

2933
02:10:18,100 --> 02:10:20,100
recovery center in burlingame, we will

2934
02:10:20,100 --> 02:10:23,100
also be taking item number 17, there

2935
02:10:23,100 --> 02:10:26,100
is a presentation by county executive

2936
02:10:26,100 --> 02:10:30,201
callagy and then we will be welcoming

2937
02:10:31,100 --> 02:10:35,100
both dr. Jei africa and alicio from

2938
02:10:35,100 --> 02:10:36,100
horizon.

2939
02:10:36,100 --> 02:10:37,100
>> thank you, president corzo and

2940
02:10:37,100 --> 02:10:39,100
members of the board.

2941
02:10:39,100 --> 02:10:41,100
I'll make this very quick and just go

2942
02:10:41,100 --> 02:10:43,100
through the background very quickly

2943
02:10:43,100 --> 02:10:46,100
also as you'll all remember, the site

2944
02:10:46,100 --> 02:10:50,801
of bay shore and mahler was the former

2945
02:10:51,100 --> 02:10:55,100
station run by samaritan house, we had

2946
02:10:55,100 --> 02:10:57,100
potential acquisition discussions

2947
02:10:57,100 --> 02:11:00,100
april 7, 2026 followed by the board

2948
02:11:02,100 --> 02:11:03,100
approval, the county purchased a

2949
02:11:03,100 --> 02:11:05,100
building on june 12, 2026 and then a

2950
02:11:05,100 --> 02:11:08,100
framework has been developed for

2951
02:11:08,100 --> 02:11:10,100
transfer approved by the board of

2952
02:11:10,100 --> 02:11:12,100
supervisors on july 2.

2953
02:11:12,100 --> 02:11:14,100
so, there's two issues here, the first

2954
02:11:14,100 --> 02:11:17,100
one and I'll have dr. Africa elaborate

2955
02:11:17,100 --> 02:11:21,201
on that if you desire is the

2956
02:11:23,100 --> 02:11:25,100
matching funds of the county of the

2957
02:11:25,100 --> 02:11:28,100
10%, when horizon recently went to the

2958
02:11:28,100 --> 02:11:31,100
department of health care services for

2959
02:11:31,100 --> 02:11:33,100
this grant, they were going for 20

2960
02:11:33,100 --> 02:11:35,100
million dollars and the match would

2961
02:11:35,100 --> 02:11:38,100
have been 2 million dollars of the

2962
02:11:38,100 --> 02:11:39,100
opiate settlement which was approved

2963
02:11:39,100 --> 02:11:40,100
by the board.

2964
02:11:40,100 --> 02:11:43,601
they ended up receiving 25 million, so

2965
02:11:44,100 --> 02:11:46,100
the grant we're asking for that to be

2966
02:11:46,100 --> 02:11:47,100
approved for another 500 thousand

2967
02:11:47,100 --> 02:11:50,100
dollars for that machining 10% of 2.5

2968
02:11:51,100 --> 02:11:53,100
million and again that would come out

2969
02:11:53,100 --> 02:11:56,100
of the opioid settlement fund.

2970
02:11:56,100 --> 02:12:00,201
in regards to 17, the outline of the

2971
02:12:03,100 --> 02:12:06,601
transaction, county would enter into a

2972
02:12:07,100 --> 02:12:09,100
ground lease with horizon to grant

2973
02:12:09,100 --> 02:12:12,100
immediate site control to horizon

2974
02:12:12,100 --> 02:12:15,100
for the portion of the mahler property

2975
02:12:15,100 --> 02:12:17,100
they would retain two building on the

2976
02:12:17,100 --> 02:12:20,100
parking area on the site for it

2977
02:12:20,100 --> 02:12:22,100
programs yet to be determined and

2978
02:12:22,100 --> 02:12:23,100
the lease would continue with the

2979
02:12:23,100 --> 02:12:25,100
county as we pursue the legal

2980
02:12:25,100 --> 02:12:27,100
subdivision of the land, ideally we

2981
02:12:27,100 --> 02:12:31,100
would complete that by 2027 and in that

2982
02:12:31,100 --> 02:12:34,100
way with this ground lease, horizon

2983
02:12:34,100 --> 02:12:35,100
could immediately commence

2984
02:12:35,100 --> 02:12:37,100
construction of a suitable new

2985
02:12:37,100 --> 02:12:39,100
facility on their portion during the

2986
02:12:39,100 --> 02:12:42,100
lease term, still be working out the

2987
02:12:42,100 --> 02:12:44,100
lease amount but whatever it was, it

2988
02:12:44,100 --> 02:12:48,201
would be applied to the purchase price

2989
02:12:49,100 --> 02:12:51,100
of 2.74 million for that portion of

2990
02:12:51,100 --> 02:12:52,100
the land.

2991
02:12:52,100 --> 02:12:55,601
the property would be restricted for

2992
02:12:56,100 --> 02:12:59,100
use as a rehabilitation facility for

2993
02:12:59,100 --> 02:13:02,100
up to 30 years and the reason we're

2994
02:13:02,100 --> 02:13:04,100
here before you today is because

2995
02:13:04,100 --> 02:13:05,100
horizon must demonstrate site control

2996
02:13:05,100 --> 02:13:08,100
to state of california for that

2997
02:13:08,100 --> 02:13:11,100
facility to be deemed feasible and for the

2998
02:13:11,100 --> 02:13:14,601
grant dollars to transfer to the

2999
02:13:16,100 --> 02:13:18,100
mahler site and certainly what we're

3000
02:13:18,100 --> 02:13:19,100
asking is for an intention to

3001
02:13:19,100 --> 02:13:21,100
demonstrate the board of supervisor's

3002
02:13:21,100 --> 02:13:24,100
approval of the horizon site control

3003
02:13:24,100 --> 02:13:28,201
and then the 10% match for the bishop

3004
02:13:29,100 --> 02:13:32,100
grant, a couple of areas we're

3005
02:13:32,100 --> 02:13:34,100
working through with horizon still is

3006
02:13:34,100 --> 02:13:37,100
-- I didn't have time to finish this

3007
02:13:37,100 --> 02:13:39,100
and present it to the board is the

3008
02:13:39,100 --> 02:13:42,601
easement on the property the exact

3009
02:13:44,100 --> 02:13:46,401
lease terms, indemnification clauses,

3010
02:13:47,100 --> 02:13:49,100
insurance issues and transfer taxes

3011
02:13:49,100 --> 02:13:51,100
and we'll be working in the near

3012
02:13:51,100 --> 02:13:54,100
future to do that, that's why I'm

3013
02:13:54,100 --> 02:13:56,100
asking by resolution to approve the

3014
02:13:56,100 --> 02:13:58,100
ground lease in form of a purchase and

3015
02:13:58,100 --> 02:14:01,100
sale agreement and delegate to me the

3016
02:14:01,100 --> 02:14:03,100
authority to modify and amend both

3017
02:14:03,100 --> 02:14:04,100
transaction documents as necessary and

3018
02:14:04,100 --> 02:14:06,100
effectuate the intent of the

3019
02:14:06,100 --> 02:14:09,100
transaction and to increase that

3020
02:14:11,100 --> 02:14:14,100
contribution to horizon by the 500

3021
02:14:16,100 --> 02:14:19,100
thousand to fully comport with the 10%

3022
02:14:19,100 --> 02:14:22,100
match of 25 million dollars by

3023
02:14:22,100 --> 02:14:23,100
contributing 2.5 million.

3024
02:14:23,100 --> 02:14:25,100
happy to answer any questions, dr.

3025
02:14:25,100 --> 02:14:27,100
africa is here and certainly horizon

3026
02:14:27,100 --> 02:14:29,100
is here to answer any questions you

3027
02:14:29,100 --> 02:14:31,100
may have.

3028
02:14:32,100 --> 02:14:35,601
>> okay, any questions from the board?

3029
02:14:38,100 --> 02:14:42,100
dr. Jei africa, would you like to say

3030
02:14:42,100 --> 02:14:45,100
anything, alicio is also here from

3031
02:14:45,100 --> 02:14:46,100
horizon.

3032
02:14:46,100 --> 02:14:47,100
>> this is an important opportunity

3033
02:14:47,100 --> 02:14:49,100
for us because we know there is a

3034
02:14:49,100 --> 02:14:50,100
critical need for these kinds of

3035
02:14:50,100 --> 02:14:53,100
programs in our community and so it

3036
02:14:53,100 --> 02:14:57,100
was the first issue of the new amount

3037
02:14:57,100 --> 02:15:01,100
is more of a timing issues, when we

3038
02:15:01,100 --> 02:15:02,100
applied, horizon was costing it out

3039
02:15:02,100 --> 02:15:04,100
and we didn't have the full amount.

3040
02:15:04,100 --> 02:15:07,100
in the final award which came months

3041
02:15:07,100 --> 02:15:08,100
after we submitted the application was

3042
02:15:08,100 --> 02:15:11,100
25 million, so basically it's the

3043
02:15:11,100 --> 02:15:12,100
adjustment.

3044
02:15:12,100 --> 02:15:14,100
the last portion is designating

3045
02:15:14,100 --> 02:15:16,100
-- allow our chief and her designee

3046
02:15:16,100 --> 02:15:18,100
to do all the negotiations as part of

3047
02:15:18,100 --> 02:15:19,100
this process.

3048
02:15:19,100 --> 02:15:20,100
so, thank you.

3049
02:15:20,100 --> 02:15:21,100
>> okay.

3050
02:15:21,100 --> 02:15:23,100
thank you.

3051
02:15:24,100 --> 02:15:28,201
>> hello, my name is alici ork, I

3052
02:15:30,100 --> 02:15:32,100
serve as the chief of operations.

3053
02:15:32,100 --> 02:15:34,100
I wanted to thank the board of

3054
02:15:34,100 --> 02:15:35,100
supervisors for their collaboration and

3055
02:15:35,100 --> 02:15:36,100
partnership to see this project

3056
02:15:36,100 --> 02:15:38,100
through for the needed services for

3057
02:15:38,100 --> 02:15:40,100
your community.

3058
02:15:40,100 --> 02:15:42,100
also with working with the executive

3059
02:15:42,100 --> 02:15:45,100
leadership has been an honor to work

3060
02:15:45,100 --> 02:15:49,100
in a process has in good faith and has

3061
02:15:49,100 --> 02:15:51,100
been nothing but gracious for the work

3062
02:15:51,100 --> 02:15:53,100
that has been put into our project.

3063
02:15:53,100 --> 02:15:56,100
I also wanted to thank the behavioral

3064
02:15:56,100 --> 02:15:59,100
health department for san mateo county

3065
02:15:59,100 --> 02:16:01,100
and the collaboration to see this

3066
02:16:01,100 --> 02:16:02,100
project come to light.

3067
02:16:02,100 --> 02:16:04,100
we did receive from the department of

3068
02:16:04,100 --> 02:16:06,401
health care services preliminary

3069
02:16:07,100 --> 02:16:09,100
designation to be able to relocate

3070
02:16:09,100 --> 02:16:10,100
into burlingame.

3071
02:16:10,100 --> 02:16:11,100
this is exciting news, we're excited

3072
02:16:11,100 --> 02:16:14,100
to be able to see this project move

3073
02:16:14,100 --> 02:16:16,100
forward and we'll be able to answer

3074
02:16:16,100 --> 02:16:18,100
any questions you might have regarding

3075
02:16:18,100 --> 02:16:19,100
the two items.

3076
02:16:19,100 --> 02:16:20,100
>> thank you so much.

3077
02:16:20,100 --> 02:16:23,601
with that, hearing no questions from

3078
02:16:27,100 --> 02:16:28,100
my colleagues, why don't we go ahead

3079
02:16:28,100 --> 02:16:29,100
and move on to public comment.

3080
02:16:29,100 --> 02:16:31,100

3087
02:16:47,100 --> 02:16:49,100
>> good morning, supervisors, I am

3088
02:16:49,100 --> 02:16:52,100
asking you today to immediately

3089
02:16:52,100 --> 02:16:54,100
withdraw our county's endorsement and

3090
02:16:54,100 --> 02:16:57,100
marcher grant to horizon recovery

3091
02:16:58,100 --> 02:16:59,100
services.

3092
02:16:59,100 --> 02:17:00,100
they operate a facility in san

3093
02:17:00,100 --> 02:17:03,601
mateo and that facility has an

3094
02:17:04,100 --> 02:17:05,100
egregious operating history.

3095
02:17:05,100 --> 02:17:07,100
since opening in 2019, this

3096
02:17:07,100 --> 02:17:10,100
facility has been suspended two times

3097
02:17:10,100 --> 02:17:12,100
for severe violations of the health

3098
02:17:12,100 --> 02:17:13,100
care code and the explicit

3099
02:17:13,100 --> 02:17:15,100
falsification records.

3100
02:17:15,100 --> 02:17:18,100
horizon has repeatedly jeopardized the

3101
02:17:18,100 --> 02:17:20,100
lives and health of our most

3102
02:17:20,100 --> 02:17:22,100
vulnerable residents and the county

3103
02:17:22,100 --> 02:17:23,100
has repeatedly lost services for an

3104
02:17:23,100 --> 02:17:27,201
extended period of time due to lengthy

3105
02:17:28,100 --> 02:17:30,100
suspicions and licensed revocation

3106
02:17:30,100 --> 02:17:31,100
proceedings.

3107
02:17:31,100 --> 02:17:34,100
allowing this organization to receiver

3108
02:17:34,100 --> 02:17:37,100
county back violates san mateo's

3109
02:17:37,100 --> 02:17:39,401
policies of ethical procurement.

3110
02:17:41,100 --> 02:17:44,100
horizon should be disqualified from

3111
02:17:44,100 --> 02:17:45,100
receiving public contracts.

3112
02:17:45,100 --> 02:17:48,100
please contact the grant agency and

3113
02:17:48,100 --> 02:17:51,100
formally notify that the information

3114
02:17:51,100 --> 02:17:54,100
provided by supervisor corzo, jei

3115
02:17:56,100 --> 02:17:58,100
africa regarding horizon's reliability

3116
02:17:58,100 --> 02:17:59,100
was misleading.

3117
02:17:59,100 --> 02:18:02,601
by continuing to back horizon fully

3118
02:18:04,100 --> 02:18:07,100
aware of the status, this board is

3119
02:18:07,100 --> 02:18:09,100
exposing our county to severe legal

3120
02:18:09,100 --> 02:18:11,100
liability which we cannot afford in

3121
02:18:11,100 --> 02:18:14,100
this time of budget deficit.

3122
02:18:14,100 --> 02:18:16,100
protect our residents, safeguard our

3123
02:18:16,100 --> 02:18:18,100
taxpayers and shield our county from

3124
02:18:18,100 --> 02:18:19,100
liability.

3125
02:18:19,100 --> 02:18:21,100
I ask that you rescind the

3126
02:18:21,100 --> 02:18:23,100
endorsement, cancel the grant,

3127
02:18:23,100 --> 02:18:27,100
petition the state to take care of

3128
02:18:27,100 --> 02:18:30,100
bhrs infrastructure grant and deny any

3129
02:18:30,100 --> 02:18:32,100
future contracts to horizon recovery

3130
02:18:32,100 --> 02:18:33,100
services, thank you.

3131
02:18:33,100 --> 02:18:35,100
>> thank you, that concludes public

3132
02:18:35,100 --> 02:18:36,100
comment.

3133
02:18:36,100 --> 02:18:37,100
>> okay, bringing it back to our

3134
02:18:37,100 --> 02:18:39,401
board for a motion.

3135
02:18:46,100 --> 02:18:48,100
>> I move approval of this item.

3136
02:18:48,100 --> 02:18:51,601
>> thank you, is there a second?

3137
02:18:53,100 --> 02:18:55,100
>> okay, second by supervisor speier.

3138
02:18:55,100 --> 02:18:57,100
>> I want to clarify that's both the

3139
02:18:57,100 --> 02:18:59,100
items, thank you.

3140
02:18:59,100 --> 02:19:01,100
>> I have one question.

3141
02:19:01,100 --> 02:19:04,100
we have addressed the concerns of

3142
02:19:04,100 --> 02:19:06,100
natallia as well, her concerns have

3143
02:19:06,100 --> 02:19:08,100
been addressed and we're not

3144
02:19:08,100 --> 02:19:09,100
overlooking anything.

3145
02:19:09,100 --> 02:19:11,100
>> I would defer to dr. Africa with

3146
02:19:11,100 --> 02:19:12,100
respect to that.

3147
02:19:12,100 --> 02:19:16,100
>> yes, just a reminder that the state

3148
02:19:16,100 --> 02:19:17,100
provides the licensing, so anything

3149
02:19:17,100 --> 02:19:20,100
that -- any provider that we work with

3150
02:19:20,100 --> 02:19:24,100
has to be licensed by the state and

3151
02:19:24,100 --> 02:19:26,100
the state certifies them so, we have

3152
02:19:26,100 --> 02:19:27,100
worked closely with horizon and

3153
02:19:27,100 --> 02:19:30,100
continue to work with them in ensuring

3154
02:19:30,100 --> 02:19:33,100
that none of the previous things have

3155
02:19:33,100 --> 02:19:36,100
happened and we have a staff that

3156
02:19:36,100 --> 02:19:38,100
monitors and audits all the things

3157
02:19:38,100 --> 02:19:42,801
that are concerning to us on a regular

3158
02:19:43,100 --> 02:19:45,100
basis.

3159
02:19:45,100 --> 02:19:46,100
>> supervisor mueller?

3160
02:19:46,100 --> 02:19:49,100
>> is it accurate they're on

3161
02:19:49,100 --> 02:19:50,100
probationary status presently?

3162
02:19:50,100 --> 02:19:54,100
>> right now they are because -- how

3163
02:19:54,100 --> 02:19:58,201
long are they on probationary we don't

3164
02:20:00,100 --> 02:20:04,100
know, so when they issue -- after a

3165
02:20:04,100 --> 02:20:07,100
disciplinary action, they go visit the

3166
02:20:07,100 --> 02:20:10,100
site in san mateo, they did announced

3167
02:20:10,100 --> 02:20:14,100
visit and all the things that they

3168
02:20:14,100 --> 02:20:18,100
were looking at, they sort of passed

3169
02:20:18,100 --> 02:20:21,100
with great colors, but they still need

3170
02:20:21,100 --> 02:20:23,100
to be on probation because I think

3171
02:20:23,100 --> 02:20:25,100
there's a length of time they have to

3172
02:20:25,100 --> 02:20:27,100
remain in that state.

3173
02:20:27,100 --> 02:20:31,201
so but they did visit this year.

3174
02:20:32,100 --> 02:20:35,100
>> I also served as the chief

3175
02:20:35,100 --> 02:20:37,100
compliance officer for two years with

3176
02:20:37,100 --> 02:20:38,100
the organization, so we have one year

3177
02:20:38,100 --> 02:20:41,100
left on the probationary period.

3178
02:20:42,100 --> 02:20:44,100
like major health care institutions

3179
02:20:44,100 --> 02:20:46,100
like hospitals, these situations do

3180
02:20:46,100 --> 02:20:48,100
happen, the state provides additional

3181
02:20:48,100 --> 02:20:51,100
watchful mon oring, we've been meeting

3182
02:20:51,100 --> 02:20:55,201
all those standards when they come to

3183
02:20:56,100 --> 02:20:57,100
visit with zero deficiency.

3184
02:20:57,100 --> 02:21:00,601
we make sure we assume responsibility

3185
02:21:02,100 --> 02:21:04,100
and provide the standard of care for

3186
02:21:04,100 --> 02:21:05,100
our clients.

3187
02:21:05,100 --> 02:21:06,100
>> alright.

3188
02:21:06,100 --> 02:21:07,100
what I want to know and it's a

3189
02:21:07,100 --> 02:21:10,100
question for county counsel, so what

3190
02:21:10,100 --> 02:21:14,100
happens worst case scenario you do --

3191
02:21:14,100 --> 02:21:17,100
you fail to fail forward and you have

3192
02:21:17,100 --> 02:21:19,100
another deficiency during your

3193
02:21:19,100 --> 02:21:21,100
probationary standard and the license

3194
02:21:21,100 --> 02:21:23,100
is revoked?

3195
02:21:24,100 --> 02:21:26,100
>> we would be able to address that

3196
02:21:26,100 --> 02:21:28,100
depending on what the deficiency is, I

3197
02:21:28,100 --> 02:21:30,100
can't speak exactly what would come

3198
02:21:30,100 --> 02:21:33,100
about but we are very watchful in

3199
02:21:33,100 --> 02:21:35,100
monitoring those item they're

3200
02:21:35,100 --> 02:21:37,100
specifically looking for to audit

3201
02:21:37,100 --> 02:21:38,100
ourselves, audit consistently on a

3202
02:21:38,100 --> 02:21:40,100
weekly basis.

3203
02:21:40,100 --> 02:21:42,100
our executive team is performing

3204
02:21:42,100 --> 02:21:44,100
current audits, we have our director

3205
02:21:44,100 --> 02:21:46,100
of operations during spot check

3206
02:21:46,100 --> 02:21:48,100
audits, we have an associate director

3207
02:21:48,100 --> 02:21:49,100
of compliance overseeing the

3208
02:21:49,100 --> 02:21:51,100
compliance manager that works at that

3209
02:21:51,100 --> 02:21:53,100
facility so it's constantly being

3210
02:21:53,100 --> 02:21:54,100
monitored.

3211
02:21:54,100 --> 02:21:55,100
we host a tuesday call with executive

3212
02:21:55,100 --> 02:21:59,100
leadership that I take part in to

3213
02:21:59,100 --> 02:22:02,100
monitor those audits and make sure

3214
02:22:02,100 --> 02:22:03,100
we're honoring the requirement from

3215
02:22:03,100 --> 02:22:05,100
the state.

3216
02:22:05,100 --> 02:22:07,100
we would be continuing on with

3217
02:22:07,100 --> 02:22:09,100
building out the project depending on

3218
02:22:09,100 --> 02:22:10,100
the state.

3219
02:22:10,100 --> 02:22:13,100
>> supervisor mueller, it's a good

3220
02:22:13,100 --> 02:22:15,401
question and one we've

3221
02:22:18,100 --> 02:22:19,100
contemplated also.

3222
02:22:19,100 --> 02:22:20,100
the fact that the state has awarded

3223
02:22:20,100 --> 02:22:23,100
horizon a 25 million dollar contract,

3224
02:22:25,100 --> 02:22:27,100
with the changes they've made, the

3225
02:22:27,100 --> 02:22:31,100
site is restricted for 30 years so if

3226
02:22:31,100 --> 02:22:33,100
they failed at some point in time, or

3227
02:22:33,100 --> 02:22:35,100
the state disallowed them to continue

3228
02:22:35,100 --> 02:22:37,100
or they for some reason went out of

3229
02:22:37,100 --> 02:22:39,100
business, it would still have -- that

3230
02:22:39,100 --> 02:22:43,801
site would still have to be used for

3231
02:22:44,100 --> 02:22:45,100
rehabilitation purposes and we would

3232
02:22:45,100 --> 02:22:46,100
then go look for another provider.

3233
02:22:46,100 --> 02:22:48,100
>> alright.

3234
02:22:49,100 --> 02:22:53,100
so, but there's no -- we're not left

3235
02:22:53,100 --> 02:22:56,100
in a position where there's any

3236
02:22:56,100 --> 02:22:58,100
enrichment to the provider.

3237
02:22:58,100 --> 02:22:59,100
>> I don't believe that would be the

3238
02:22:59,100 --> 02:23:00,100
case.

3239
02:23:00,100 --> 02:23:01,100
they would be in violation of the

3240
02:23:01,100 --> 02:23:04,100
terms of the grant for operating the

3241
02:23:04,100 --> 02:23:06,100
site and as county executive was

3242
02:23:06,100 --> 02:23:09,601
indicating, we would have remedies to

3243
02:23:10,100 --> 02:23:11,100
exercise.

3244
02:23:11,100 --> 02:23:13,100
>> so, I just want to jump in here

3245
02:23:13,100 --> 02:23:17,801
real quick and say that, you know, I

3246
02:23:22,100 --> 02:23:26,100
would challenge -- and I don't know,

3247
02:23:26,100 --> 02:23:31,401
dr. Jei, if you can speak to the norm

3248
02:23:32,100 --> 02:23:36,201
for this kind of licensing, this kind

3249
02:23:39,100 --> 02:23:43,201
of treatment and how often -- like

3250
02:23:44,100 --> 02:23:47,100
what's the norm for when issues arise

3251
02:23:47,100 --> 02:23:50,100
in this kind of treatment facility?

3252
02:23:50,100 --> 02:23:53,100
>> president corzo, I really respect

3253
02:23:55,100 --> 02:23:57,100
your line of questioning but you

3254
02:23:57,100 --> 02:23:59,100
jumped into my line of questioning.

3255
02:23:59,100 --> 02:24:01,100
>> you can pause for one

3256
02:24:01,100 --> 02:24:05,201
second, okay, I'm the chair of this

3257
02:24:06,100 --> 02:24:07,100
meeting now, when you're chair, you

3258
02:24:07,100 --> 02:24:08,100
can do it your way.

3259
02:24:08,100 --> 02:24:09,100
>> the chair exercises the right to

3260
02:24:09,100 --> 02:24:10,100
interpret another supervisor?

3261
02:24:10,100 --> 02:24:11,100
>> I'm going to finish my thought,

3262
02:24:11,100 --> 02:24:13,100
okay, thank you.

3263
02:24:13,100 --> 02:24:15,100
so, would you mind answering that

3264
02:24:15,100 --> 02:24:16,100
question real quick, please.

3265
02:24:16,100 --> 02:24:18,100
>> I'm not sort of familiar but these

3266
02:24:18,100 --> 02:24:20,401
are really difficult services

3267
02:24:22,100 --> 02:24:24,100
obviously, people are in need, so I

3268
02:24:24,100 --> 02:24:27,100
don't know the data, but do you know

3269
02:24:27,100 --> 02:24:29,100
any sort of data, how often these

3270
02:24:29,100 --> 02:24:30,100
things happen?

3271
02:24:30,100 --> 02:24:33,100
but again the state has a rigorous

3272
02:24:33,100 --> 02:24:36,100
compliance plan so, the mere fact they

3273
02:24:36,100 --> 02:24:39,100
awarded horizon meant that they had

3274
02:24:39,100 --> 02:24:41,100
faith that this organization can

3275
02:24:41,100 --> 02:24:42,100
provide the services.

3276
02:24:42,100 --> 02:24:44,100
it doesn't count the fact there were

3277
02:24:44,100 --> 02:24:46,100
some issues as few years ago and from

3278
02:24:46,100 --> 02:24:48,100
what we have seen that they have

3279
02:24:48,100 --> 02:24:50,100
addressed it, the state came

3280
02:24:50,100 --> 02:24:52,100
unannounced a few months ago and

3281
02:24:52,100 --> 02:24:54,100
chased no issues, so they still will

3282
02:24:54,100 --> 02:24:56,100
need to be on probation for a while

3283
02:24:56,100 --> 02:24:58,100
until that other year but that is a

3284
02:24:58,100 --> 02:25:01,100
normal practice that when your license

3285
02:25:01,100 --> 02:25:02,100
is suspended, you have time to recover

3286
02:25:02,100 --> 02:25:05,100
and address the issue and there's

3287
02:25:05,100 --> 02:25:06,100
usually some time length to do that,

3288
02:25:06,100 --> 02:25:09,100
they came to visit, my hope is they

3289
02:25:09,100 --> 02:25:11,100
probably will come again until that

3290
02:25:11,100 --> 02:25:14,100
next year, if they've proven they've

3291
02:25:14,100 --> 02:25:16,100
addressed the issue, it will go

3292
02:25:16,100 --> 02:25:17,100
forward.

3293
02:25:17,100 --> 02:25:19,100
>> and just to kind of like take your

3294
02:25:19,100 --> 02:25:23,201
point home a little bit more, horizon

3295
02:25:25,100 --> 02:25:26,100
delivers a lot of programming

3296
02:25:26,100 --> 02:25:28,100
in the entire bay area and this one

3297
02:25:28,100 --> 02:25:30,100
site had some issues but in the grand

3298
02:25:30,100 --> 02:25:33,100
scope of all of their programs and

3299
02:25:33,100 --> 02:25:34,100
services, the state still finds them

3300
02:25:34,100 --> 02:25:37,100
to be a really high quality service

3301
02:25:37,100 --> 02:25:40,100
provider, gave them a 25 million

3302
02:25:40,100 --> 02:25:43,100
dollar grant to run this program in

3303
02:25:43,100 --> 02:25:45,100
our county and they are on track to

3304
02:25:45,100 --> 02:25:49,100
get off of probation and continue to

3305
02:25:49,100 --> 02:25:50,100
provide high quality services.

3306
02:25:50,100 --> 02:25:52,100
supervisor mueller?

3307
02:25:52,100 --> 02:25:56,100
>> so, first I want to say it's

3308
02:25:56,100 --> 02:25:58,100
unfortunate that the president felt

3309
02:25:58,100 --> 02:25:59,100
the need to interject --

3310
02:25:59,100 --> 02:26:00,100
>> can you please just continue your

3311
02:26:00,100 --> 02:26:02,100
questions, let's just move on, okay.

3312
02:26:02,100 --> 02:26:03,100
>> no, I'm not going to.

3313
02:26:03,100 --> 02:26:04,100
as a point of order --

3314
02:26:04,100 --> 02:26:07,601
>> let's have a show then, go

3315
02:26:08,100 --> 02:26:09,100
ahead.

3316
02:26:09,100 --> 02:26:10,100
>> as a point of order when one

3317
02:26:10,100 --> 02:26:11,100
supervisor is addressing and in the

3318
02:26:11,100 --> 02:26:12,100
middle of a line of questioning, it's

3319
02:26:12,100 --> 02:26:15,100
not important that no supervisor

3320
02:26:15,100 --> 02:26:17,100
exercises power to that supervisor to

3321
02:26:17,100 --> 02:26:18,100
try to shape the discussion.

3322
02:26:18,100 --> 02:26:20,100
I really think we need as a board to

3323
02:26:20,100 --> 02:26:23,601
go ahead and recognize that decorum.

3324
02:26:25,100 --> 02:26:26,100
that being said, what I want to go

3325
02:26:26,100 --> 02:26:28,100
ahead and I'm not trying to argue

3326
02:26:28,100 --> 02:26:29,100
against this, I'm trying to make sure

3327
02:26:29,100 --> 02:26:33,100
we have the mechanism in place should

3328
02:26:33,100 --> 02:26:36,100
this contract -- I know you're on

3329
02:26:36,100 --> 02:26:37,100
probationary status, should somehow

3330
02:26:37,100 --> 02:26:39,100
your license be revoked that we have

3331
02:26:39,100 --> 02:26:40,100
the mechanism in place to make sure

3332
02:26:40,100 --> 02:26:44,801
the county is in good position to go

3333
02:26:45,100 --> 02:26:47,100
ahead and claw back any grant monies

3334
02:26:47,100 --> 02:26:48,100
or any funding that has already been

3335
02:26:48,100 --> 02:26:52,100
granted to the grantee, so do we have

3336
02:26:52,100 --> 02:26:55,601
any clawback provisions for any of

3337
02:26:56,100 --> 02:26:58,100
the funding we are providing this

3338
02:26:58,100 --> 02:26:59,100
project?

3339
02:26:59,100 --> 02:27:01,100
>> just in candor and I would have to

3340
02:27:01,100 --> 02:27:04,100
defer to anybody else that has any

3341
02:27:04,100 --> 02:27:06,100
information, I don't think the state

3342
02:27:06,100 --> 02:27:09,100
has the ability to claw has back, the

3343
02:27:09,100 --> 02:27:12,100
money is going to be used to move the

3344
02:27:12,100 --> 02:27:15,100
grant forward and there isn't any

3345
02:27:15,100 --> 02:27:17,100
mechanism for that.

3346
02:27:20,100 --> 02:27:22,100
>> and, supervisor, I think that money

3347
02:27:22,100 --> 02:27:24,100
would go towards the building of the

3348
02:27:24,100 --> 02:27:25,100
building, whoever came in subsequently

3349
02:27:25,100 --> 02:27:27,100
and purchased that building would then

3350
02:27:27,100 --> 02:27:29,401
take over that operation.

3351
02:27:30,100 --> 02:27:34,201
so, it would still be a good

3352
02:27:35,100 --> 02:27:36,100
investment if they -- if that other

3353
02:27:36,100 --> 02:27:40,201
provider came in and took over the

3354
02:27:41,100 --> 02:27:42,100
building.

3355
02:27:42,100 --> 02:27:43,100
>> okay.

3356
02:27:43,100 --> 02:27:46,100
>> you won't pass, supervisor speier?

3357
02:27:47,100 --> 02:27:49,100
>> just for a point of clarification,

3358
02:27:49,100 --> 02:27:52,601
when were you put on probation?

3359
02:27:53,100 --> 02:27:55,100
>> the current probation was two years

3360
02:27:55,100 --> 02:27:57,100
ago, I done have the exact time?

3361
02:27:57,100 --> 02:27:59,100
>> two years ago, you were put on

3362
02:27:59,100 --> 02:28:00,100
probation because there was a death at

3363
02:28:00,100 --> 02:28:03,100
the facility, is that correct?

3364
02:28:04,100 --> 02:28:07,100
>> the original occurrence was back in

3365
02:28:07,100 --> 02:28:08,100
2021.

3366
02:28:08,100 --> 02:28:11,100
and then there was a review of

3367
02:28:11,100 --> 02:28:12,100
information, during that time we were

3368
02:28:12,100 --> 02:28:13,100
trying to build our compliance

3369
02:28:13,100 --> 02:28:16,601
department out where there was a

3370
02:28:21,100 --> 02:28:23,100
deficiency found.

3371
02:28:25,100 --> 02:28:27,100
>> during this period of time when you

3372
02:28:27,100 --> 02:28:28,100
applied for the grant, the state was

3373
02:28:28,100 --> 02:28:29,100
aware of the fact that you were on

3374
02:28:29,100 --> 02:28:30,100
probation?

3375
02:28:30,100 --> 02:28:32,401
>> they were aware, yes.

3376
02:28:35,100 --> 02:28:36,100
>> as part of the application?

3377
02:28:36,100 --> 02:28:37,100
>> yes, dhcs was aware.

3378
02:28:37,100 --> 02:28:39,100
>> and they were confident in giving

3379
02:28:39,100 --> 02:28:40,100
you a 25 million dollar grant.

3380
02:28:40,100 --> 02:28:41,100
>> yes.

3381
02:28:41,100 --> 02:28:44,601
>> now, my question to you, county

3382
02:28:45,100 --> 02:28:48,100
executive, if in fact they were to

3383
02:28:48,100 --> 02:28:51,100
fail, they would still be the owner of

3384
02:28:51,100 --> 02:28:54,601
that property which would mean that

3385
02:28:55,100 --> 02:28:59,201
they would be able to receive rent

3386
02:29:02,100 --> 02:29:04,100
from a subsequent provider of that

3387
02:29:04,100 --> 02:29:07,100
service at that location for up to 30

3388
02:29:07,100 --> 02:29:08,100
years, correct?

3389
02:29:08,100 --> 02:29:10,100
>> I would defer to the county

3390
02:29:10,100 --> 02:29:12,100
attorney, I'm not that particular with

3391
02:29:12,100 --> 02:29:14,100
the terms of the proposed lease.

3392
02:29:14,100 --> 02:29:16,100
I know his office has been working on

3393
02:29:16,100 --> 02:29:17,100
that.

3394
02:29:17,100 --> 02:29:18,100
>> thank you, I think I'm going to ask

3395
02:29:18,100 --> 02:29:20,100
my colleague, mr. Fox, who was

3396
02:29:20,100 --> 02:29:22,100
involved in the drafting of the lease

3397
02:29:22,100 --> 02:29:24,100
and some of the other related

3398
02:29:24,100 --> 02:29:26,100
documents to speak to the specific

3399
02:29:26,100 --> 02:29:28,401
mechanisms at play here.

3400
02:29:29,100 --> 02:29:32,100
>> the ground lease as presently

3401
02:29:33,100 --> 02:29:34,100
drafted does provide they would have

3402
02:29:34,100 --> 02:29:36,100
site control and they would be

3403
02:29:36,100 --> 02:29:37,100
obligated to comply with the deed

3404
02:29:37,100 --> 02:29:39,100
restrictions and the terms of the

3405
02:29:39,100 --> 02:29:41,100
ground lease during the term of the

3406
02:29:41,100 --> 02:29:44,100
ground lease so it was being operated

3407
02:29:44,100 --> 02:29:46,100
as a rehab facility as described by

3408
02:29:46,100 --> 02:29:47,100
the state grant.

3409
02:29:47,100 --> 02:29:50,100
so, you are correct they would have

3410
02:29:50,100 --> 02:29:53,100
essentially landlord position if they

3411
02:29:53,100 --> 02:29:55,100
exercised the purchase option and they

3412
02:29:55,100 --> 02:29:57,100
would receive the income stream from a

3413
02:29:57,100 --> 02:29:59,100
tenant who would lease it and operate

3414
02:29:59,100 --> 02:30:02,100
it consistent with the state grant,

3415
02:30:02,100 --> 02:30:03,100
that's what's contemplated.

3416
02:30:03,100 --> 02:30:07,201
>> so, if they chose to charge an

3417
02:30:10,100 --> 02:30:12,100
exorbitant rent and we needed to make

3418
02:30:12,100 --> 02:30:15,100
sure we provided those services in the

3419
02:30:15,100 --> 02:30:18,100
county, we in the end would be picking

3420
02:30:18,100 --> 02:30:20,100
up the tab?

3421
02:30:22,100 --> 02:30:26,100
>> I am not an expert in how the

3422
02:30:26,100 --> 02:30:27,100
funding for rehabilitation services

3423
02:30:27,100 --> 02:30:29,100
would work under such a circumstance.

3424
02:30:29,100 --> 02:30:32,100
I believe that it would go to an rfp --

3425
02:30:32,100 --> 02:30:35,100
>> no, of course, but in the end, the

3426
02:30:35,100 --> 02:30:37,100
county would be paying for the

3427
02:30:37,100 --> 02:30:39,100
services rendered there and --

3428
02:30:39,100 --> 02:30:41,100
>> it would not be obligated to fund a

3429
02:30:41,100 --> 02:30:43,100
tenant who was using that particular

3430
02:30:43,100 --> 02:30:44,100
facility.

3431
02:30:44,100 --> 02:30:48,201
so, for example, if horizon decided to

3432
02:30:50,100 --> 02:30:51,100
charge an exorbitant rent, the county

3433
02:30:51,100 --> 02:30:55,100
would not be obligated to issue an rfp

3434
02:30:55,100 --> 02:30:57,100
to a replacement provider that sought

3435
02:30:57,100 --> 02:30:59,100
to use that particular site.

3436
02:30:59,100 --> 02:31:02,100
that's the downward pressure on horizon

3437
02:31:02,100 --> 02:31:04,100
charging exorbitant rent at that site.

3438
02:31:04,100 --> 02:31:07,100
there's no obligation on our part to

3439
02:31:07,100 --> 02:31:08,100
cite the facility there.

3440
02:31:08,100 --> 02:31:12,100
>> do we have the ability then to

3441
02:31:12,100 --> 02:31:14,100
require that if they were in a

3442
02:31:14,100 --> 02:31:15,100
position where they became the

3443
02:31:15,100 --> 02:31:18,100
landlord of a tenant who was providing

3444
02:31:18,100 --> 02:31:19,100
these similar services, that the rent

3445
02:31:19,100 --> 02:31:23,201
would have to be consistent with the

3446
02:31:24,100 --> 02:31:28,100
rental rate at that point in time, is

3447
02:31:28,100 --> 02:31:30,100
that a provision that could be put

3448
02:31:30,100 --> 02:31:31,100
into the agreement?

3449
02:31:31,100 --> 02:31:32,100
>> I think we could explore that.

3450
02:31:32,100 --> 02:31:33,100
I think that we have to explore a

3451
02:31:33,100 --> 02:31:35,100
little bit more to determine if the

3452
02:31:35,100 --> 02:31:38,100
state would take the facility back

3453
02:31:38,100 --> 02:31:39,100
because it's their grant money and

3454
02:31:39,100 --> 02:31:42,100
they're required to operate for 30

3455
02:31:42,100 --> 02:31:43,100
years at least.

3456
02:31:43,100 --> 02:31:45,100
so, we can explore the way the grant

3457
02:31:45,100 --> 02:31:47,100
is written.

3458
02:31:48,100 --> 02:31:51,100
additionally, we could also explore

3459
02:31:52,100 --> 02:31:55,100
putting in a sale provision of the

3460
02:31:55,100 --> 02:31:59,201
land if in fact their license is

3461
02:32:00,100 --> 02:32:01,100
revoked and they're unable to operate

3462
02:32:01,100 --> 02:32:04,100
that they would sell the property

3463
02:32:04,100 --> 02:32:06,100
within 90 days, we could explore that

3464
02:32:06,100 --> 02:32:07,100
also.

3465
02:32:07,100 --> 02:32:08,100
there's various things we can explore

3466
02:32:08,100 --> 02:32:10,100
to ensure we address your comfort

3467
02:32:10,100 --> 02:32:11,100
level with this.

3468
02:32:11,100 --> 02:32:13,100
>> alright, thank you.

3469
02:32:14,100 --> 02:32:16,100
>> so, I do believe we have a motion

3470
02:32:16,100 --> 02:32:17,100
and a second.

3471
02:32:17,100 --> 02:32:22,100
maybe -- but before we do a roll call

3472
02:32:22,100 --> 02:32:27,401
vote, I want to say for a second that,

3473
02:32:29,100 --> 02:32:31,100
you know, going back to when this

3474
02:32:31,100 --> 02:32:33,100
first came to our board, the first

3475
02:32:33,100 --> 02:32:36,100
vote that we took on this for the 2

3476
02:32:36,100 --> 02:32:39,601
million dollars that was on consent,

3477
02:32:40,100 --> 02:32:44,201
I want to publicly apologize for how

3478
02:32:45,100 --> 02:32:47,100
this board and for how our community

3479
02:32:47,100 --> 02:32:48,100
has treated horizon.

3480
02:32:48,100 --> 02:32:51,100
these are difficult services to

3481
02:32:51,100 --> 02:32:52,100
provide.

3482
02:32:52,100 --> 02:32:55,601
we talked earlier today about overdose

3483
02:32:57,100 --> 02:33:01,100
and drug treatment and we were very

3484
02:33:01,100 --> 02:33:03,100
celebratory and empathetic and then we

3485
02:33:03,100 --> 02:33:06,100
have a discussion about actually

3486
02:33:06,100 --> 02:33:09,100
providing services and the difficulty

3487
02:33:09,100 --> 02:33:11,100
of that and the tone is different and

3488
02:33:11,100 --> 02:33:13,100
that's not lost on me.

3489
02:33:13,100 --> 02:33:16,100
so, I just want to apologize for that.

3490
02:33:16,100 --> 02:33:17,100
roll call vote.

3491
02:33:17,100 --> 02:33:18,100
>> I would like to comment.

3492
02:33:18,100 --> 02:33:20,100
>> okay, go ahead.

3493
02:33:22,100 --> 02:33:23,100
>> so, again, we have to talk about

3494
02:33:23,100 --> 02:33:24,100
decorum.

3495
02:33:24,100 --> 02:33:25,100
first off, I think in going ahead and

3496
02:33:25,100 --> 02:33:28,100
talking about what safeguards are

3497
02:33:28,100 --> 02:33:29,100
within a contract should there be a

3498
02:33:29,100 --> 02:33:31,100
default is not to undermine the

3499
02:33:31,100 --> 02:33:32,100
services that are being provided and

3500
02:33:32,100 --> 02:33:34,100
that was not the intent of myself, I'm

3501
02:33:34,100 --> 02:33:38,100
sure that was mot intent of supervisor

3502
02:33:38,100 --> 02:33:39,100
speier.

3503
02:33:39,100 --> 02:33:40,100
to indicate that because we are

3504
02:33:40,100 --> 02:33:42,100
talking about what is contained in the

3505
02:33:42,100 --> 02:33:44,100
contract and the issue of default is

3506
02:33:44,100 --> 02:33:46,100
somehow a negative disparagement is

3507
02:33:46,100 --> 02:33:50,100
not accurate and we want -- obviously

3508
02:33:50,100 --> 02:33:53,100
we need these programs, they're very

3509
02:33:53,100 --> 02:33:54,100
important.

3510
02:33:54,100 --> 02:33:56,100
we're just simply trying to make sure

3511
02:33:56,100 --> 02:33:58,100
we protect those valuable dollars in

3512
02:33:58,100 --> 02:34:00,100
the event there is a default so we

3513
02:34:00,100 --> 02:34:02,100
continue to provide those services to

3514
02:34:02,100 --> 02:34:06,100
those who need them and so I don't

3515
02:34:06,100 --> 02:34:07,100
think there's the need for us to go

3516
02:34:07,100 --> 02:34:11,201
ahead and set up that sort of

3517
02:34:13,100 --> 02:34:14,100
political dialogue in the passing of

3518
02:34:14,100 --> 02:34:17,100
this, and I think for the dough core

3519
02:34:17,100 --> 02:34:19,100
rum and for this board to get along, I

3520
02:34:19,100 --> 02:34:20,100
think we should avoid that.

3521
02:34:20,100 --> 02:34:21,100
>> okay.

3522
02:34:21,100 --> 02:34:25,801
what I will say is that I have

3523
02:34:28,100 --> 02:34:30,100
attempted several times to pass a

3524
02:34:30,100 --> 02:34:32,100
governance handbook for this board and

3525
02:34:32,100 --> 02:34:35,100
I have attempted to have a discussion

3526
02:34:35,100 --> 02:34:37,100
about that and for some reason, we as

3527
02:34:37,100 --> 02:34:40,100
a board have been unable to do that.

3528
02:34:40,100 --> 02:34:42,100
I would gladly do that but that is not

3529
02:34:42,100 --> 02:34:46,100
what we are here to do right now.

3530
02:34:46,100 --> 02:34:49,100
I was speaking for myself when I made

3531
02:34:49,100 --> 02:34:52,100
my comments right now and I said what

3532
02:34:52,100 --> 02:34:53,100
I said.

3533
02:34:53,100 --> 02:34:54,100
let's do roll call, please.

3534
02:34:54,100 --> 02:34:56,100
>> through the chair, can I say

3535
02:34:56,100 --> 02:34:58,100
something because I brought it up and

3536
02:34:58,100 --> 02:35:01,100
I wanted clarity, we had somebody

3537
02:35:01,100 --> 02:35:03,100
bringing up some accusations that I

3538
02:35:03,100 --> 02:35:05,100
felt that we needed to just address

3539
02:35:05,100 --> 02:35:06,100
before moving on and I think we've

3540
02:35:06,100 --> 02:35:08,100
cone that, to have a better

3541
02:35:08,100 --> 02:35:10,100
understanding of what you're bringing

3542
02:35:10,100 --> 02:35:12,100
and what you're providing so it's not

3543
02:35:12,100 --> 02:35:13,100
cloudy going into this final decision,

3544
02:35:13,100 --> 02:35:15,100
so thank you for your presentation,

3545
02:35:15,100 --> 02:35:16,100
thank you for the clarity.

3546
02:35:16,100 --> 02:35:20,201
I think the community deserved that as

3547
02:35:21,100 --> 02:35:22,100
well.

3548
02:35:22,100 --> 02:35:23,100
>> and that's totally fair.

3549
02:35:23,100 --> 02:35:24,100
thank you.

3550
02:35:24,100 --> 02:35:26,100
supervisor speier?

3551
02:35:26,100 --> 02:35:29,100
>> I would hope that when we speak, we

3552
02:35:29,100 --> 02:35:32,100
don't speak on behalf of the board if

3553
02:35:32,100 --> 02:35:36,801
the board has not made it clear that

3554
02:35:37,100 --> 02:35:40,601
there's an apology that is appropriate.

3555
02:35:41,100 --> 02:35:43,100
secondly, I hope we've learned a

3556
02:35:43,100 --> 02:35:46,100
lesson from this whole experience that

3557
02:35:46,100 --> 02:35:49,601
putting a 2 million dollar grant on

3558
02:35:50,100 --> 02:35:52,100
consent is not advisable, that it

3559
02:35:52,100 --> 02:35:54,100
should be on the regular agenda so

3560
02:35:54,100 --> 02:35:58,801
that it can be properly vetted by the

3561
02:35:59,100 --> 02:36:01,100
entire board moving forward.

3562
02:36:01,100 --> 02:36:03,100
>> supervisor gauthier, I apologize, I

3563
02:36:03,100 --> 02:36:05,100
didn't mention you in my comment.

3564
02:36:05,100 --> 02:36:06,100
>> no problem.

3565
02:36:06,100 --> 02:36:07,100
>> it was inadvertent.

3566
02:36:07,100 --> 02:36:09,100
>> roll call vote, please.

3567
02:36:09,100 --> 02:36:10,100
>> supervisor speier?

3568
02:36:10,100 --> 02:36:11,100
>> aye.

3569
02:36:11,100 --> 02:36:12,100
>> supervisor mueller?

3570
02:36:12,100 --> 02:36:13,100
>> yes.

3571
02:36:13,100 --> 02:36:14,100
>> supervisor gauthier?

3572
02:36:14,100 --> 02:36:15,100
>> yes.

3573
02:36:15,100 --> 02:36:16,100
>> supervisor canepa?

3574
02:36:16,100 --> 02:36:17,100
>> aye.

3575
02:36:17,100 --> 02:36:18,100
>> president corzo?

3576
02:36:18,100 --> 02:36:19,100
>> yes.

3577
02:36:19,100 --> 02:36:22,100
>> motion passes unanimously for item

3578
02:36:23,100 --> 02:36:24,100
9 and 17.

3579
02:36:24,100 --> 02:36:28,201
>> we will move on to item number 9

3580
02:36:29,100 --> 02:36:31,100
and that is -- one second here.

3581
02:36:31,100 --> 02:36:33,401
>> I think we're on 10.

3582
02:36:34,100 --> 02:36:36,100
>> item 10 is an a resolution

3583
02:36:36,100 --> 02:36:38,100
authorizing an agreement with baker

3584
02:36:38,100 --> 02:36:41,100
places and adult crisis residential

3585
02:36:42,100 --> 02:36:44,100
services and we have dr. Africa here

3586
02:36:44,100 --> 02:36:45,100
to present this item.

3587
02:36:45,100 --> 02:36:47,100
>> again, thank you again for having

3588
02:36:47,100 --> 02:36:51,201
me here, but really the item for

3589
02:36:52,100 --> 02:36:53,100
consideration is a three year

3590
02:36:53,100 --> 02:36:54,100
agreement with baker places in an

3591
02:36:54,100 --> 02:36:56,401
amount of 8 million 316 thousand 934

3592
02:36:58,100 --> 02:36:59,100
to provide crisis residential servies

3593
02:36:59,100 --> 02:37:01,100
to our county residents.

3594
02:37:01,100 --> 02:37:04,601
if you remember last november, redwood

3595
02:37:05,100 --> 02:37:07,100
house closed, decreased the number of

3596
02:37:07,100 --> 02:37:09,100
adult residential beds we have, we

3597
02:37:09,100 --> 02:37:11,401
currently have 13 through our

3598
02:37:14,100 --> 02:37:15,100
partnership with serenity house, we

3599
02:37:15,100 --> 02:37:16,100
obviously want to continue to have

3600
02:37:16,100 --> 02:37:18,100
more adult residential treatment beds

3601
02:37:18,100 --> 02:37:21,601
and baker place through an rfp

3602
02:37:26,100 --> 02:37:28,100
understood the philosophy that we

3603
02:37:28,100 --> 02:37:29,100
wanted.

3604
02:37:29,100 --> 02:37:31,100
our hope is that as redwood house 2.0

3605
02:37:31,100 --> 02:37:35,201
will be rebuilt, we will find an

3606
02:37:36,100 --> 02:37:37,100
alternative or temporary so we can

3607
02:37:37,100 --> 02:37:38,100
have for of these beds.

3608
02:37:38,100 --> 02:37:40,100
the goal again is to be more

3609
02:37:40,100 --> 02:37:42,100
[inaudible] redwood house only focused

3610
02:37:42,100 --> 02:37:44,100
on mental health, now with sb43, we

3611
02:37:44,100 --> 02:37:47,100
want to be able to address people who

3612
02:37:47,100 --> 02:37:49,100
have mental health and substance use

3613
02:37:49,100 --> 02:37:50,100
conditions.

3614
02:37:50,100 --> 02:37:53,100
the staffing will be 24/7, they're

3615
02:37:53,100 --> 02:37:56,100
really looking at providing beds for

3616
02:37:56,100 --> 02:37:59,100
about 16 severely mentally ill over 18

3617
02:38:00,100 --> 02:38:02,100
year-olds and hopefully again baker

3618
02:38:02,100 --> 02:38:06,100
places will be able to look for a

3619
02:38:06,100 --> 02:38:08,100
location for us and provide the

3620
02:38:08,100 --> 02:38:11,100
temporary services as we build

3621
02:38:11,100 --> 02:38:12,100
redwood house 2.0.

3622
02:38:12,100 --> 02:38:14,100
is I'm happy to answer any questions.

3623
02:38:14,100 --> 02:38:16,100
>> thank you, any questions from the

3624
02:38:16,100 --> 02:38:17,100
board?

3625
02:38:17,100 --> 02:38:18,100
>> yes.

3626
02:38:18,100 --> 02:38:19,100
>> supervisor speier?

3627
02:38:19,100 --> 02:38:22,100
>> madam president, I have one

3628
02:38:22,100 --> 02:38:25,601
concern, we are basically giving this

3629
02:38:26,100 --> 02:38:30,201
entity the power to find a location,

3630
02:38:32,100 --> 02:38:35,601
sign an agreement and provide services

3631
02:38:36,100 --> 02:38:39,100
without knowing where the location is

3632
02:38:39,100 --> 02:38:42,100
and I don't want us to be in another

3633
02:38:42,100 --> 02:38:43,100
situation where there's not

3634
02:38:43,100 --> 02:38:44,100
transparency, where the community is

3635
02:38:44,100 --> 02:38:48,100
not aware and where we have given

3636
02:38:48,100 --> 02:38:51,601
carte blanche authority to an entity

3637
02:38:53,100 --> 02:38:56,100
without having the understanding that

3638
02:38:58,100 --> 02:39:00,100
they have done the due diligence with

3639
02:39:00,100 --> 02:39:02,100
the community and with the local city,

3640
02:39:02,100 --> 02:39:05,100
so I would like to see the agreement

3641
02:39:05,100 --> 02:39:07,401
amended to reflect that.

3642
02:39:08,100 --> 02:39:09,100
>> we definitely learned from the

3643
02:39:09,100 --> 02:39:11,100
lesson before and part of the contract

3644
02:39:11,100 --> 02:39:14,100
stipulation would be through the -- to

3645
02:39:14,100 --> 02:39:18,100
be clear about what baker places will

3646
02:39:18,100 --> 02:39:19,100
need in partnership with us and the

3647
02:39:19,100 --> 02:39:21,100
community to ensure the issues that

3648
02:39:21,100 --> 02:39:23,100
were brought up before don't happen

3649
02:39:23,100 --> 02:39:24,100
again.

3650
02:39:24,100 --> 02:39:25,100
we are also in the stipulation being

3651
02:39:25,100 --> 02:39:28,100
very clear kind of like a fee for

3652
02:39:28,100 --> 02:39:30,100
service model, what are the things

3653
02:39:30,100 --> 02:39:32,100
we're going to pay baker places for

3654
02:39:32,100 --> 02:39:34,100
versus just a blan ke sort of

3655
02:39:34,100 --> 02:39:36,100
contract, so we're being very, very

3656
02:39:36,100 --> 02:39:39,100
clear the kind of deliverables in this

3657
02:39:39,100 --> 02:39:41,100
process, but they would not engage

3658
02:39:41,100 --> 02:39:43,100
with us obviously if there is no

3659
02:39:43,100 --> 02:39:47,201
contract to kind of work to --

3660
02:39:48,100 --> 02:39:49,100
together.

3661
02:39:49,100 --> 02:39:52,100
>> I don't think that answers my

3662
02:39:52,100 --> 02:39:53,100
question.

3663
02:39:53,100 --> 02:39:54,100
does the agreement have a provision

3664
02:39:54,100 --> 02:39:57,100
where there would be a public airing

3665
02:39:57,100 --> 02:40:00,100
of the location with the community to

3666
02:40:00,100 --> 02:40:02,100
assess the appropriateness of the

3667
02:40:02,100 --> 02:40:03,100
location?

3668
02:40:03,100 --> 02:40:04,100
>> sorry if I wasn't very clear.

3669
02:40:04,100 --> 02:40:07,100
we are going to put nit the

3670
02:40:07,100 --> 02:40:09,100
stipulation that community processes,

3671
02:40:09,100 --> 02:40:11,100
communication, there will be a plan

3672
02:40:11,100 --> 02:40:14,100
that will be shared across the county

3673
02:40:14,100 --> 02:40:17,100
about what baker places will be doing

3674
02:40:17,100 --> 02:40:19,100
and looking at for the location, so

3675
02:40:19,100 --> 02:40:21,100
yes, we will put that there.

3676
02:40:21,100 --> 02:40:23,100
>> so, if they're going sign a

3677
02:40:23,100 --> 02:40:26,100
contract with a third party for the

3678
02:40:26,100 --> 02:40:28,100
property before that's even known it

3679
02:40:28,100 --> 02:40:29,100
sounds like based on way this is

3680
02:40:29,100 --> 02:40:30,100
drafted.

3681
02:40:30,100 --> 02:40:33,100
>> we are looking around, they are

3682
02:40:33,100 --> 02:40:36,100
the experts finding a place that meets

3683
02:40:36,100 --> 02:40:39,100
the criteria for a crisis residential

3684
02:40:39,100 --> 02:40:41,100
treatment facility but we can put --

3685
02:40:41,100 --> 02:40:43,100
and maybe I can work with our county

3686
02:40:43,100 --> 02:40:45,100
counsel to ensure that, but they will

3687
02:40:45,100 --> 02:40:47,100
not even engage in this process

3688
02:40:47,100 --> 02:40:48,100
without a contract.

3689
02:40:48,100 --> 02:40:50,100
we can be very clear about expectation

3690
02:40:50,100 --> 02:40:53,601
of that contract including a community

3691
02:40:54,100 --> 02:40:57,100
process, engaging the community, you

3692
02:40:57,100 --> 02:40:59,100
know, scouting the location, so we can

3693
02:40:59,100 --> 02:41:02,100
be very clear about that.

3694
02:41:03,100 --> 02:41:05,100
>> I have a question after you're done.

3695
02:41:05,100 --> 02:41:08,100
>> so, are you done with your

3696
02:41:08,100 --> 02:41:09,100
questions, supervisor speier?

3697
02:41:09,100 --> 02:41:10,100
okay.

3698
02:41:10,100 --> 02:41:11,100
supervisor canepa has a question.

3699
02:41:11,100 --> 02:41:12,100
I have some questions as well.

3700
02:41:12,100 --> 02:41:13,100
supervisor canepa?

3701
02:41:13,100 --> 02:41:16,100
>> great, I think that's a very fair

3702
02:41:16,100 --> 02:41:18,100
point.

3703
02:41:18,100 --> 02:41:20,100
we've had issues sometimes in

3704
02:41:20,100 --> 02:41:23,100
communities when it's come to land

3705
02:41:23,100 --> 02:41:25,100
use, right, especially around what we

3706
02:41:25,100 --> 02:41:26,100
just heard earlier.

3707
02:41:26,100 --> 02:41:29,100
so I would like to understand, I think

3708
02:41:29,100 --> 02:41:32,100
-- what's the plan, so my concern is

3709
02:41:32,100 --> 02:41:37,401
-- and I know you're going to go back

3710
02:41:39,100 --> 02:41:40,100
to staff and work with it, we want to

3711
02:41:40,100 --> 02:41:41,100
push and move these projects forward

3712
02:41:41,100 --> 02:41:42,100
into communities.

3713
02:41:42,100 --> 02:41:43,100
one of the things I would suggest and

3714
02:41:43,100 --> 02:41:45,100
I think I've talked to the county

3715
02:41:45,100 --> 02:41:48,100
executive about this is when we go

3716
02:41:48,100 --> 02:41:50,100
into communities and cities, you know,

3717
02:41:50,100 --> 02:41:53,100
we should really engage with the

3718
02:41:53,100 --> 02:41:56,100
council, the city council, city

3719
02:41:56,100 --> 02:41:59,100
council should pass a resolution

3720
02:41:59,100 --> 02:42:01,100
saying, look, we're in support of

3721
02:42:01,100 --> 02:42:04,100
where this is, once we get buy-in a

3722
02:42:04,100 --> 02:42:06,100
the council level, they're going to be

3723
02:42:06,100 --> 02:42:07,100
doing the community report.

3724
02:42:07,100 --> 02:42:11,801
what ends up happening is we put these

3725
02:42:13,100 --> 02:42:16,100
facilities in communities that are

3726
02:42:16,100 --> 02:42:17,100
not in unincorporated land and we find

3727
02:42:17,100 --> 02:42:19,100
ourselves sort of like jello.

3728
02:42:19,100 --> 02:42:22,601
I mean, because we're putting these

3729
02:42:24,100 --> 02:42:25,100
facilities and there isn't any sort

3730
02:42:25,100 --> 02:42:27,100
of input from the community.

3731
02:42:27,100 --> 02:42:29,100
the reason I say that, it protects the

3732
02:42:29,100 --> 02:42:31,100
county because the county now can say

3733
02:42:31,100 --> 02:42:33,100
with these different facilities, look,

3734
02:42:33,100 --> 02:42:36,100
we've gone to the city executive,

3735
02:42:36,100 --> 02:42:38,100
we've gone to the city council, we've

3736
02:42:38,100 --> 02:42:39,100
gotten buy-in.

3737
02:42:39,100 --> 02:42:42,100
I mean, what I'm concerned about, dr.

3738
02:42:42,100 --> 02:42:45,100
jei, is that what we're currently

3739
02:42:45,100 --> 02:42:47,100
doing right now needs to change.

3740
02:42:47,100 --> 02:42:49,100
we have all this money through the

3741
02:42:49,100 --> 02:42:52,100
state, through the pass seaming of is

3742
02:42:52,100 --> 02:42:54,100
it measure --

3743
02:42:54,100 --> 02:42:55,100
>> bhsa.

3744
02:42:55,100 --> 02:42:58,100
>> prop 1, we have this influx of

3745
02:42:58,100 --> 02:43:02,100
money, but we're not -- we're really

3746
02:43:02,100 --> 02:43:04,100
not doing that sort of outreach.

3747
02:43:04,100 --> 02:43:07,100
I don't want to relive the mahler site

3748
02:43:07,100 --> 02:43:09,100
again, it's complicating and confusing

3749
02:43:09,100 --> 02:43:12,100
and I think it's the best government

3750
02:43:12,100 --> 02:43:14,100
practice to say to the city, we've

3751
02:43:14,100 --> 02:43:16,100
identified this site, do you support

3752
02:43:16,100 --> 02:43:17,100
it.

3753
02:43:17,100 --> 02:43:19,100
that's just public policy 101 and it

3754
02:43:19,100 --> 02:43:22,100
would save us a lot of problems as we

3755
02:43:22,100 --> 02:43:23,100
move in with all this prop 1 must be.

3756
02:43:23,100 --> 02:43:24,100
thank you.

3757
02:43:24,100 --> 02:43:28,201
>> so, I have a different opinion here.

3758
02:43:33,100 --> 02:43:38,100
I don't think that it is -- it is or

3759
02:43:38,100 --> 02:43:41,100
should be our decision to influence

3760
02:43:41,100 --> 02:43:44,100
where these sites are located.

3761
02:43:48,100 --> 02:43:50,100
it shouldn't be political, it should

3762
02:43:50,100 --> 02:43:53,100
be about what is best for the people

3763
02:43:53,100 --> 02:43:55,100
receiving these services and providers

3764
02:43:55,100 --> 02:43:59,100
know how to make those decisions, not

3765
02:43:59,100 --> 02:44:01,100
politicians.

3766
02:44:02,100 --> 02:44:05,100
it shouldn't become a spectacle in a

3767
02:44:05,100 --> 02:44:09,201
public forum in this way, it becomes

3768
02:44:10,100 --> 02:44:12,100
really ugly.

3769
02:44:18,100 --> 02:44:22,100
so, I do think there should be some

3770
02:44:22,100 --> 02:44:25,601
kind of community engagement but I

3771
02:44:27,100 --> 02:44:31,801
don't think that -- I don't think it

3772
02:44:32,100 --> 02:44:36,801
should be like a requirement written into a

3773
02:44:37,100 --> 02:44:41,201
contract that -- I just get concerned

3774
02:44:42,100 --> 02:44:43,100
if we write it into this contract,

3775
02:44:43,100 --> 02:44:46,100
then we have to write it into every

3776
02:44:46,100 --> 02:44:48,100
single contract and that delays and

3777
02:44:48,100 --> 02:44:51,100
creates more and more hurdles and it's

3778
02:44:51,100 --> 02:44:53,100
completely contradictory to the

3779
02:44:53,100 --> 02:44:56,100
intention of proposition 1 and it

3780
02:44:59,100 --> 02:45:02,601
creates local practice that is in

3781
02:45:03,100 --> 02:45:05,100
complete opposition to the very

3782
02:45:05,100 --> 02:45:07,100
existence of prop 1 and what the

3783
02:45:07,100 --> 02:45:10,601
voters intended when they passed that.

3784
02:45:13,100 --> 02:45:16,601
what happened with horizon in san

3785
02:45:17,100 --> 02:45:20,601
mateo is obviously not ideal either.

3786
02:45:21,100 --> 02:45:23,100
it is election season.

3787
02:45:23,100 --> 02:45:25,401
it was election season.

3788
02:45:27,100 --> 02:45:29,100
it's still election season in that

3789
02:45:29,100 --> 02:45:31,100
district right now.

3790
02:45:34,100 --> 02:45:35,100
guess what, the two people at the

3791
02:45:35,100 --> 02:45:37,100
center of that are on the ballot for

3792
02:45:37,100 --> 02:45:39,100
election right now.

3793
02:45:47,100 --> 02:45:50,100
I think it's a very bad idea for us to

3794
02:45:50,100 --> 02:45:52,100
tread water in that direction, I think

3795
02:45:52,100 --> 02:45:55,100
it's dangerous place to go.

3796
02:45:59,100 --> 02:46:01,100
I think maybe we can have a more

3797
02:46:01,100 --> 02:46:03,401
thoughtful discussion about this

3798
02:46:05,100 --> 02:46:08,100
as a board but I would ask our

3799
02:46:08,100 --> 02:46:10,100
board now -- we can talk more about

3800
02:46:10,100 --> 02:46:12,100
it, I don't think this this should go

3801
02:46:12,100 --> 02:46:16,100
into this contract right now but we

3802
02:46:16,100 --> 02:46:18,100
should -- I think we talked about

3803
02:46:18,100 --> 02:46:21,100
having a public process for how we as

3804
02:46:21,100 --> 02:46:24,100
a county purchase property in

3805
02:46:24,100 --> 02:46:26,100
incorporated areas, like let's have

3806
02:46:26,100 --> 02:46:28,100
that discussion and I would ask county

3807
02:46:28,100 --> 02:46:31,100
executive callagy to bring that back

3808
02:46:31,100 --> 02:46:33,100
as an agendized item for us to have a

3809
02:46:33,100 --> 02:46:35,100
formal ask using and creating a

3810
02:46:35,100 --> 02:46:39,201
process that we then share with our

3811
02:46:42,100 --> 02:46:46,100
city partners and that extends to our

3812
02:46:46,100 --> 02:46:47,100
vendors and properties that they

3813
02:46:47,100 --> 02:46:50,100
purchase but we should not do it now

3814
02:46:50,100 --> 02:46:52,100
in this contract at random.

3815
02:46:52,100 --> 02:46:55,100
so, I would propose that and just

3816
02:46:55,100 --> 02:46:58,601
wondering how my colleagues feel about

3817
02:47:00,100 --> 02:47:02,100
that.

3818
02:47:09,100 --> 02:47:12,100
>> so, it's clear as mud to me, dr.

3819
02:47:12,100 --> 02:47:14,100
jei, the process by which you're

3820
02:47:14,100 --> 02:47:17,100
indicating there will be a

3821
02:47:17,100 --> 02:47:18,100
stipulation, so I'm struggling with

3822
02:47:18,100 --> 02:47:19,100
this.

3823
02:47:19,100 --> 02:47:23,100
we're boeing to -- going to stipulate

3824
02:47:23,100 --> 02:47:24,100
with them in the contract, that

3825
02:47:24,100 --> 02:47:28,100
they're going to go and do community

3826
02:47:28,100 --> 02:47:31,601
outreach process but to what end?

3827
02:47:34,100 --> 02:47:38,801
>> so I think what I'm hearing is the

3828
02:47:40,100 --> 02:47:41,100
concern for example what happened at

3829
02:47:41,100 --> 02:47:42,100
horizon that we didn't engage the

3830
02:47:42,100 --> 02:47:43,100
community, we didn't engage the city

3831
02:47:43,100 --> 02:47:45,100
council, we didn't tell them in

3832
02:47:45,100 --> 02:47:46,100
advance, so one of the things we're

3833
02:47:46,100 --> 02:47:48,100
going to do which is part of the

3834
02:47:48,100 --> 02:47:51,601
community planning process when we are

3835
02:47:53,100 --> 02:47:55,100
building facilities that are needed, we

3836
02:47:55,100 --> 02:47:57,100
tell people about the services, we

3837
02:47:57,100 --> 02:47:59,100
answer their questions.

3838
02:48:00,100 --> 02:48:04,801
we give them an overview of what's the

3839
02:48:05,100 --> 02:48:07,100
process-- what's the process in place

3840
02:48:07,100 --> 02:48:08,100
to keep people safe, we're going to

3841
02:48:08,100 --> 02:48:09,100
work closely with baker places to do

3842
02:48:09,100 --> 02:48:10,100
that.

3843
02:48:10,100 --> 02:48:13,100
one of the things we'd like to do in

3844
02:48:13,100 --> 02:48:14,100
their action to look for a location,

3845
02:48:14,100 --> 02:48:16,100
we would just do that in the beginning

3846
02:48:16,100 --> 02:48:18,100
as well, so not wait in the last

3847
02:48:18,100 --> 02:48:21,100
moment but really in this process,

3848
02:48:21,100 --> 02:48:23,100
already partner with the entities that

3849
02:48:23,100 --> 02:48:26,100
are in that district or in the city.

3850
02:48:26,100 --> 02:48:29,601
>> dr. Africa, what happens if during

3851
02:48:32,100 --> 02:48:33,100
that process the community concerns

3852
02:48:33,100 --> 02:48:34,100
that might be raised or the city

3853
02:48:34,100 --> 02:48:36,100
council concerns or the city planning

3854
02:48:36,100 --> 02:48:39,100
concerns come back with substantive

3855
02:48:42,100 --> 02:48:44,100
issues that affect with good reason

3856
02:48:44,100 --> 02:48:47,100
the placement of the facility?

3857
02:48:49,100 --> 02:48:51,100
>> like any other place that we have,

3858
02:48:51,100 --> 02:48:54,601
we try to really mitigate their

3859
02:48:55,100 --> 02:48:56,100
concerns.

3860
02:48:56,100 --> 02:48:58,100
so I also want to just make sure that

3861
02:48:58,100 --> 02:49:01,100
what we're trying to do is just find a

3862
02:49:01,100 --> 02:49:03,100
temporary location for -- as we

3863
02:49:03,100 --> 02:49:05,100
rebuild the redwood house which is

3864
02:49:05,100 --> 02:49:07,100
already a crisis residential in

3865
02:49:07,100 --> 02:49:09,100
redwood city.

3866
02:49:09,100 --> 02:49:13,100
that's the ultimate goal is that that

3867
02:49:13,100 --> 02:49:15,100
is to be another crisis residential.

3868
02:49:15,100 --> 02:49:18,100
right now we would be trying to engage

3869
02:49:18,100 --> 02:49:21,100
to find a location temporarily so we

3870
02:49:21,100 --> 02:49:24,100
increase the beds from serenity house

3871
02:49:24,100 --> 02:49:27,100
which is 13 to another 12, so when we

3872
02:49:27,100 --> 02:49:29,100
are scouting for the location, we

3873
02:49:29,100 --> 02:49:31,100
would engage with the community and

3874
02:49:31,100 --> 02:49:34,100
the city council to say this is what

3875
02:49:34,100 --> 02:49:35,100
we're trying to do.

3876
02:49:35,100 --> 02:49:38,100
now, there are certain stipulations

3877
02:49:41,100 --> 02:49:44,100
for these residential facilities or

3878
02:49:44,100 --> 02:49:45,100
these facilities that we're building

3879
02:49:45,100 --> 02:49:48,100
that we are allowed to do with -- I

3880
02:49:48,100 --> 02:49:51,100
don't know how I would say like not

3881
02:49:51,100 --> 02:49:53,100
necessarily input but state

3882
02:49:53,100 --> 02:49:55,100
regulations that allow us to build

3883
02:49:55,100 --> 02:49:56,100
these facilities because of the state

3884
02:49:56,100 --> 02:49:59,601
funding for example, similar to the

3885
02:50:01,100 --> 02:50:02,100
bishop grant.

3886
02:50:02,100 --> 02:50:06,100
>> the only avenue left to the board

3887
02:50:06,100 --> 02:50:09,100
would be to try to mitigate whatever

3888
02:50:09,100 --> 02:50:11,100
concerns were raised by the

3889
02:50:11,100 --> 02:50:12,100
stakeholders through that community

3890
02:50:12,100 --> 02:50:14,100
process, there would be no ability

3891
02:50:14,100 --> 02:50:18,201
for the board or the county to

3892
02:50:19,100 --> 02:50:22,601
indicate to the applicant that they

3893
02:50:24,100 --> 02:50:25,100
cannot proceed that the location?

3894
02:50:25,100 --> 02:50:27,100
>> I'm going to ask county counsel,

3895
02:50:27,100 --> 02:50:31,100
john, if he can a address that.

3896
02:50:31,100 --> 02:50:34,100
my fear is every location will not be

3897
02:50:34,100 --> 02:50:35,100
suitable for any treatment facility

3898
02:50:35,100 --> 02:50:38,100
because of the what is happening, so

3899
02:50:38,100 --> 02:50:40,100
we want to really partner as best as

3900
02:50:40,100 --> 02:50:43,601
we can to answer the community's

3901
02:50:44,100 --> 02:50:46,100
concerns, that really is my fear, but

3902
02:50:46,100 --> 02:50:47,100
maybe john can answer.

3903
02:50:47,100 --> 02:50:51,100
>> before we hand it over to county

3904
02:50:51,100 --> 02:50:53,100
counsel nibbelin, county executive

3905
02:50:53,100 --> 02:50:55,100
callagy would like to share some

3906
02:50:55,100 --> 02:50:56,100
thoughts.

3907
02:50:56,100 --> 02:50:58,100
>> I think if I may interject here

3908
02:50:58,100 --> 02:50:59,100
and just set the record straight.

3909
02:50:59,100 --> 02:51:02,601
for every single property we purchase,

3910
02:51:04,100 --> 02:51:05,100
we go to the city manager and to the

3911
02:51:05,100 --> 02:51:06,100
city council.

3912
02:51:06,100 --> 02:51:10,801
I would say that with the exception of

3913
02:51:13,100 --> 02:51:17,100
the last purchase in foster city where

3914
02:51:17,100 --> 02:51:20,100
we didn't go to the city council but

3915
02:51:20,100 --> 02:51:23,100
the city manager was made aware and

3916
02:51:23,100 --> 02:51:26,100
presumably the city council was aware.

3917
02:51:26,100 --> 02:51:28,100
typically we sit down with the

3918
02:51:28,100 --> 02:51:29,100
councilmembers and try to educate them.

3919
02:51:29,100 --> 02:51:32,100
this is a process that has always gone

3920
02:51:32,100 --> 02:51:35,100
on and has always been utilized but to

3921
02:51:35,100 --> 02:51:38,100
the point that you're trying to

3922
02:51:38,100 --> 02:51:40,100
make, this has become so politically

3923
02:51:40,100 --> 02:51:43,100
charged in every community that it's

3924
02:51:43,100 --> 02:51:47,100
easier for councils to say no and not

3925
02:51:47,100 --> 02:51:49,100
here and I've heard is same thing

3926
02:51:49,100 --> 02:51:52,100
many, many times, these services are

3927
02:51:52,100 --> 02:51:54,100
warranted, great services but not just

3928
02:51:54,100 --> 02:51:55,100
here, wrong location.

3929
02:51:55,100 --> 02:51:59,801
so, that is what we're up against and

3930
02:52:00,100 --> 02:52:03,100
these are vital services we're

3931
02:52:03,100 --> 02:52:04,100
required to provide.

3932
02:52:04,100 --> 02:52:08,100
it will have to be at the end, which

3933
02:52:08,100 --> 02:52:10,100
I'm happen appoint to work with the

3934
02:52:10,100 --> 02:52:12,100
board on this, this board has veto

3935
02:52:12,100 --> 02:52:14,100
right and it has to be approved by

3936
02:52:14,100 --> 02:52:17,100
this board no matter what the property

3937
02:52:17,100 --> 02:52:21,201
is and hopefully this board would put

3938
02:52:22,100 --> 02:52:25,100
you in a difficult situation as it did

3939
02:52:25,100 --> 02:52:27,100
in millbrae and other areas but the

3940
02:52:27,100 --> 02:52:30,100
board voted to move forward with

3941
02:52:30,100 --> 02:52:33,100
that project in those areas, so I

3942
02:52:33,100 --> 02:52:34,100
think that certainly that could be

3943
02:52:34,100 --> 02:52:36,100
done in this instance too, that

3944
02:52:36,100 --> 02:52:38,100
whatever the location is that there

3945
02:52:38,100 --> 02:52:40,100
needs to be board approval for it to

3946
02:52:40,100 --> 02:52:42,100
move forward.

3947
02:52:43,100 --> 02:52:46,100
but I just wanted again to rei rate

3948
02:52:46,100 --> 02:52:47,100
that we have always talked to the

3949
02:52:47,100 --> 02:52:49,100
city's prior -- in fact, many cases

3950
02:52:49,100 --> 02:52:51,100
before even this board knew that we

3951
02:52:51,100 --> 02:52:53,100
were looking at those locations

3952
02:52:53,100 --> 02:52:55,100
because we wanted their input before

3953
02:52:55,100 --> 02:52:57,100
we came to the board and hen we polled

3954
02:52:57,100 --> 02:53:00,100
the board and determined if there was

3955
02:53:00,100 --> 02:53:01,100
support, that's the way it's always

3956
02:53:01,100 --> 02:53:03,100
worked but obviously we need to modify

3957
02:53:03,100 --> 02:53:04,100
it.

3958
02:53:04,100 --> 02:53:06,100
what we're doing now is simply not

3959
02:53:06,100 --> 02:53:07,100
working.

3960
02:53:07,100 --> 02:53:09,100
>> and I thank you for that, county

3961
02:53:09,100 --> 02:53:12,100
executive callagy, just to finish what

3962
02:53:12,100 --> 02:53:16,100
I was indicating was -- and with my

3963
02:53:16,100 --> 02:53:18,100
question, then, I don't think the

3964
02:53:18,100 --> 02:53:21,100
board needs to self-impose on itself

3965
02:53:21,100 --> 02:53:24,100
the inability to go ahead and exercise

3966
02:53:24,100 --> 02:53:26,100
that discretion.

3967
02:53:29,100 --> 02:53:31,100
it's not like burlingame was cheering

3968
02:53:31,100 --> 02:53:35,100
when we put the facility in burlingame.

3969
02:53:35,100 --> 02:53:39,100
I had many outreaches from folks who

3970
02:53:39,100 --> 02:53:41,100
were unhappy it went in burlingame who

3971
02:53:41,100 --> 02:53:44,100
I'm still interacting with on the fact

3972
02:53:44,100 --> 02:53:47,100
that horizon is in burlingame but the

3973
02:53:47,100 --> 02:53:49,100
decision made the decision that was

3974
02:53:49,100 --> 02:53:50,100
the more appropriate place for the

3975
02:53:50,100 --> 02:53:52,100
facility and the facility as of today

3976
02:53:52,100 --> 02:53:53,100
is going forward.

3977
02:53:53,100 --> 02:53:55,100
so I don't think -- I think the board

3978
02:53:55,100 --> 02:53:58,100
can make the decision appropriately

3979
02:53:58,100 --> 02:54:02,201
where to go ahead and place facilities.

3980
02:54:03,100 --> 02:54:05,100
so, I would like to see the board

3981
02:54:05,100 --> 02:54:07,100
retain discretion.

3982
02:54:11,100 --> 02:54:12,100
>> supervisor canepa?

3983
02:54:12,100 --> 02:54:14,100
>> great, thank you very much.

3984
02:54:14,100 --> 02:54:16,100
the challenge here and I don't think

3985
02:54:16,100 --> 02:54:18,100
this is in your area is really the

3986
02:54:18,100 --> 02:54:20,100
planning aspect of it.

3987
02:54:20,100 --> 02:54:22,100
mike, what I would encourage staff to

3988
02:54:22,100 --> 02:54:26,801
do is to really work, the la quinta

3989
02:54:31,100 --> 02:54:32,100
was very challenging.

3990
02:54:32,100 --> 02:54:35,100
I think we're finding ourselves in a

3991
02:54:35,100 --> 02:54:37,100
position where we're always behind the

3992
02:54:37,100 --> 02:54:40,100
8 ball, we need to work with our

3993
02:54:40,100 --> 02:54:43,601
planning directors at the city level

3994
02:54:44,100 --> 02:54:47,100
to identify with our real estate

3995
02:54:47,100 --> 02:54:50,100
division what are the locations they

3996
02:54:50,100 --> 02:54:51,100
think makes sense and if we get out

3997
02:54:51,100 --> 02:54:54,100
ahead of that and we work and

3998
02:54:54,100 --> 02:54:56,100
understand what they've identified, I

3999
02:54:56,100 --> 02:54:59,100
think that will alleviate a lot of our

4000
02:54:59,100 --> 02:55:00,100
issues.

4001
02:55:00,100 --> 02:55:05,100
you know, I think land use -- I'm very

4002
02:55:05,100 --> 02:55:09,801
-- maybe it's very old school, if you

4003
02:55:12,100 --> 02:55:16,100
are coming to build something in san

4004
02:55:16,100 --> 02:55:17,100
mateo, my main goal is to see what we

4005
02:55:17,100 --> 02:55:20,601
can do to have the conversations,

4006
02:55:21,100 --> 02:55:24,100
bring people together, say to them in

4007
02:55:24,100 --> 02:55:25,100
honest conversations, say we worked

4008
02:55:25,100 --> 02:55:28,601
with our planning staff, here's sites

4009
02:55:31,100 --> 02:55:33,100
we've identified, we should be able

4010
02:55:33,100 --> 02:55:36,100
to through deliberation and discourse,

4011
02:55:36,100 --> 02:55:38,100
the city council should be able to

4012
02:55:38,100 --> 02:55:41,100
say, hey, we have the best information

4013
02:55:41,100 --> 02:55:44,601
beside us, our planning staff has

4014
02:55:47,100 --> 02:55:50,100
identified plan alternative a, b or c,

4015
02:55:50,100 --> 02:55:51,100
but by doing that, it gets us to a

4016
02:55:51,100 --> 02:55:52,100
better outcome and it would alleviate

4017
02:55:52,100 --> 02:55:56,100
a lot of the issues that are before us.

4018
02:55:56,100 --> 02:55:59,601
I'm not convinced, mike, I'm not

4019
02:56:00,100 --> 02:56:01,100
convinced that every city is going to

4020
02:56:01,100 --> 02:56:03,100
say no.

4021
02:56:03,100 --> 02:56:05,100
I'm not convinced that every city

4022
02:56:05,100 --> 02:56:07,100
council's going to say no.

4023
02:56:07,100 --> 02:56:11,100
what I am convinced is that if we're

4024
02:56:11,100 --> 02:56:14,100
able to bring them along early, then

4025
02:56:14,100 --> 02:56:18,801
we would avoid the issues we had with

4026
02:56:19,100 --> 02:56:22,100
la quinta and mahler, so I hear

4027
02:56:22,100 --> 02:56:24,100
everyone's comments but what we're

4028
02:56:24,100 --> 02:56:26,100
doing now and you recognize it and

4029
02:56:26,100 --> 02:56:29,601
you're closing, it's not working, it's

4030
02:56:31,100 --> 02:56:33,100
tension, it's looking -- we're looking

4031
02:56:33,100 --> 02:56:34,100
disjointed.

4032
02:56:34,100 --> 02:56:36,401
we need to find

4033
02:56:38,100 --> 02:56:40,100
better processes and I'm glad you've

4034
02:56:40,100 --> 02:56:43,100
addressed that we can do better in that

4035
02:56:43,100 --> 02:56:44,100
area, I think it's needed.

4036
02:56:44,100 --> 02:56:46,100
>> and if I can respond, supervisor,

4037
02:56:46,100 --> 02:56:50,201
going back to la quinta, we did

4038
02:56:52,100 --> 02:56:53,100
expensive outreach, we had more

4039
02:56:53,100 --> 02:56:55,100
meetings than anywhere else, we

4040
02:56:55,100 --> 02:56:57,100
had sit-downs with the city council,

4041
02:56:57,100 --> 02:56:59,100
we had city council meetings and yet

4042
02:56:59,100 --> 02:57:02,100
that still fell apart, yet the board

4043
02:57:02,100 --> 02:57:04,100
voted to move forward with that 3-2

4044
02:57:04,100 --> 02:57:06,100
and that was the board's desire to

4045
02:57:06,100 --> 02:57:08,100
move forward with that.

4046
02:57:08,100 --> 02:57:11,100
so, the problem being and we've heard

4047
02:57:11,100 --> 02:57:13,100
that before is like let's help you

4048
02:57:13,100 --> 02:57:15,100
find a different spot.

4049
02:57:15,100 --> 02:57:17,100
those buildings aren't for sale, it's

4050
02:57:17,100 --> 02:57:20,100
not a good buy for the county and

4051
02:57:20,100 --> 02:57:21,100
we're looking at trying to get the

4052
02:57:21,100 --> 02:57:25,100
best buy for the county, there's no

4053
02:57:25,100 --> 02:57:27,100
government zoning area in any city

4054
02:57:27,100 --> 02:57:30,100
plan that I'm aware of that designates

4055
02:57:30,100 --> 02:57:32,100
an area for government to be in.

4056
02:57:32,100 --> 02:57:34,100
so, these are all the challenges when

4057
02:57:34,100 --> 02:57:37,100
we're trying to find a place to move,

4058
02:57:37,100 --> 02:57:39,100
we're trying to find a location that

4059
02:57:39,100 --> 02:57:40,100
suits our needs.

4060
02:57:40,100 --> 02:57:44,801
I'm trying to work with the city as

4061
02:57:46,100 --> 02:57:47,100
best we can but the interests are

4062
02:57:47,100 --> 02:57:48,100
not always congruent and that's where

4063
02:57:48,100 --> 02:57:52,100
we find ourselves often trying to work

4064
02:57:52,100 --> 02:57:53,100
through that incongruency.

4065
02:57:53,100 --> 02:57:55,100
>> and I agree with you, I think the

4066
02:57:55,100 --> 02:57:58,100
la quinta was somewhat different,

4067
02:58:05,100 --> 02:58:08,100
we did the outreach after the site was

4068
02:58:08,100 --> 02:58:09,100
already celebrities, what I'm

4069
02:58:09,100 --> 02:58:12,100
suggesting -- selected, what I'm

4070
02:58:13,100 --> 02:58:15,100
suggesting is to work with the

4071
02:58:15,100 --> 02:58:16,100
planning department initially to

4072
02:58:16,100 --> 02:58:18,100
identify sites, not to have a site put

4073
02:58:18,100 --> 02:58:20,100
on a city and then say, hey, here you

4074
02:58:20,100 --> 02:58:21,100
have to deal with it.

4075
02:58:21,100 --> 02:58:23,100
no, what we want to do is get out

4076
02:58:23,100 --> 02:58:25,100
ahead of it, work with the planning

4077
02:58:25,100 --> 02:58:27,100
staff right away, I identified

4078
02:58:27,100 --> 02:58:31,201
a site on el camino real, the

4079
02:58:33,100 --> 02:58:34,100
city planner, they support that.

4080
02:58:34,100 --> 02:58:36,100
to me, that would be the best approach

4081
02:58:36,100 --> 02:58:38,100
to get out ahead of it, so thank you.

4082
02:58:38,100 --> 02:58:40,100
>> thank you.

4083
02:58:40,100 --> 02:58:42,100
so, --

4084
02:58:44,100 --> 02:58:45,100
>> I have a question.

4085
02:58:45,100 --> 02:58:46,100
>> I want to make a comment real quick

4086
02:58:46,100 --> 02:58:49,100
and I'll hand it over to you.

4087
02:58:49,100 --> 02:58:53,801
so, I would like to add to further

4088
02:58:55,100 --> 02:58:58,100
county executive callagy's point that

4089
02:58:59,100 --> 02:59:03,201
often the areas that many cities and

4090
02:59:04,100 --> 02:59:06,100
at times residents would point to as

4091
02:59:06,100 --> 02:59:09,100
being appropriate for some of these

4092
02:59:09,100 --> 02:59:12,601
sites are least appropriate for the

4093
02:59:13,100 --> 02:59:16,100
residents and future patients of these

4094
02:59:16,100 --> 02:59:18,100
sites and sometimes they're

4095
02:59:18,100 --> 02:59:20,100
commercial, sometimes they're closest

4096
02:59:20,100 --> 02:59:24,100
to the highest risk areas where it's

4097
02:59:24,100 --> 02:59:28,201
the worst place for these residents to

4098
02:59:29,100 --> 02:59:30,100
be.

4099
02:59:30,100 --> 02:59:33,100
often they are historically redlined

4100
02:59:35,100 --> 02:59:39,201
communities and I won't even get into

4101
02:59:43,100 --> 02:59:46,601
the like racial implications of that

4102
02:59:47,100 --> 02:59:50,100
but I do think that we shouldn't

4103
02:59:50,100 --> 02:59:54,100
ignore that context and that context is

4104
02:59:54,100 --> 02:59:57,601
still very present today and we

4105
02:59:58,100 --> 03:00:01,100
shouldn't be blind to it.

4106
03:00:03,100 --> 03:00:05,100
it's still very present and if we're

4107
03:00:05,100 --> 03:00:09,801
not going to be real about that, then

4108
03:00:10,100 --> 03:00:14,801
-- I'll just stop there, but yeah, I

4109
03:00:15,100 --> 03:00:16,100
know supervisor speier has a comment

4110
03:00:16,100 --> 03:00:20,100
to make but I would like to vote on

4111
03:00:20,100 --> 03:00:24,100
this item and then we will be

4112
03:00:24,100 --> 03:00:25,100
convening to closed session.

4113
03:00:25,100 --> 03:00:27,100
we will have lunch and then we'll come

4114
03:00:27,100 --> 03:00:29,401
back, so supervisor speier?

4115
03:00:30,100 --> 03:00:34,100
>> so, as I look at this contract, on

4116
03:00:34,100 --> 03:00:37,100
page 12, it says contractor in

4117
03:00:38,100 --> 03:00:40,100
collaboration with bhrs will lease or

4118
03:00:40,100 --> 03:00:43,100
buy an appropriate facility in central

4119
03:00:43,100 --> 03:00:45,100
location in san mateo county.

4120
03:00:45,100 --> 03:00:48,601
prior to opening, a contractor and

4121
03:00:49,100 --> 03:00:52,100
contractor will do a walkthrough and a

4122
03:00:52,100 --> 03:00:53,100
contractor will have written approval

4123
03:00:53,100 --> 03:00:54,100
from the county.

4124
03:00:54,100 --> 03:00:56,100
I'm not prepared to vote in favor of

4125
03:00:56,100 --> 03:00:58,100
this because I don't think it has

4126
03:00:58,100 --> 03:01:00,100
language that reflects what we've been

4127
03:01:00,100 --> 03:01:01,100
talking about.

4128
03:01:01,100 --> 03:01:02,100
I either would like to see us post own

4129
03:01:02,100 --> 03:01:05,100
this and change the language or I'm

4130
03:01:05,100 --> 03:01:06,100
indicating that I will be a no vote.

4131
03:01:06,100 --> 03:01:07,100
>> okay.

4132
03:01:07,100 --> 03:01:09,100
supervisor canepa?

4133
03:01:12,100 --> 03:01:14,100
>> when is -- through the clerk, when

4134
03:01:14,100 --> 03:01:16,100
is our next board meeting?

4135
03:01:16,100 --> 03:01:17,100
>> september 15.

4136
03:01:17,100 --> 03:01:19,100
>> what I would do and I don't know if

4137
03:01:19,100 --> 03:01:21,100
I can support it today, I understand

4138
03:01:21,100 --> 03:01:23,100
that there's a funding component.

4139
03:01:23,100 --> 03:01:25,100
what I would ask is we continue this

4140
03:01:25,100 --> 03:01:28,100
item to the next meeting so that

4141
03:01:28,100 --> 03:01:30,100
something can be brought back to us

4142
03:01:30,100 --> 03:01:33,601
from staff that sort of addresses

4143
03:01:36,100 --> 03:01:37,100
board members' concerns.

4144
03:01:37,100 --> 03:01:38,100
I'm willing to support a continuance

4145
03:01:38,100 --> 03:01:39,100
on this item.

4146
03:01:39,100 --> 03:01:41,100
>> okay.

4147
03:01:47,100 --> 03:01:49,100
>> I make the motion to continue the

4148
03:01:49,100 --> 03:01:50,100
item.

4149
03:01:50,100 --> 03:01:52,100
>> okay, let's take public comment and

4150
03:01:52,100 --> 03:01:54,100
then we will do a roll call vote.

4151
03:01:54,100 --> 03:01:57,100
>> okay, I do not have speaker cards

4152
03:01:57,100 --> 03:01:58,100
for item number 10.

4153
03:01:58,100 --> 03:01:59,100
if you would like to make a comment

4154
03:01:59,100 --> 03:02:02,100
online, please raise your hand at this

4155
03:02:02,100 --> 03:02:03,100
time.

4156
03:02:03,100 --> 03:02:04,100
final call for item number 10.

4157
03:02:04,100 --> 03:02:07,601
I do have one hand raised.

4158
03:02:21,100 --> 03:02:22,100
leticia, please begin.

4159
03:02:22,100 --> 03:02:25,601
>> given the fact it's a temporary

4160
03:02:26,100 --> 03:02:28,100
location, again, so apologies, so I

4161
03:02:28,100 --> 03:02:30,100
serve on the behavioral health

4162
03:02:30,100 --> 03:02:33,100
commission and I just am in full

4163
03:02:33,100 --> 03:02:37,201
support of not delaying and I feel

4164
03:02:38,100 --> 03:02:41,601
very -- not delaying this matter

4165
03:02:42,100 --> 03:02:44,100
further.

4166
03:02:44,100 --> 03:02:46,100
I feel that just thinking about a

4167
03:02:46,100 --> 03:02:48,100
quote that comes to mind is that often

4168
03:02:48,100 --> 03:02:50,100
the price of inaction is far greater

4169
03:02:50,100 --> 03:02:54,100
than the cost of making a mistake.

4170
03:02:54,100 --> 03:02:56,100
however, I will not say that this is a

4171
03:02:56,100 --> 03:02:58,100
mistake given the discussions we have

4172
03:02:58,100 --> 03:03:00,100
been having.

4173
03:03:00,100 --> 03:03:05,401
I don't see that the risk is high with

4174
03:03:06,100 --> 03:03:10,801
respect to what dr. Africa has -- how

4175
03:03:11,100 --> 03:03:13,100
he has responded to the concerns of

4176
03:03:13,100 --> 03:03:18,100
the board and I am in full support of

4177
03:03:18,100 --> 03:03:21,100
certainly just as a community member,

4178
03:03:21,100 --> 03:03:24,100
and as an advocate for mental health

4179
03:03:24,100 --> 03:03:27,100
services of which more and more we are

4180
03:03:27,100 --> 03:03:29,100
learning that there really isn't

4181
03:03:29,100 --> 03:03:32,601
sufficient funding for the increase in

4182
03:03:37,100 --> 03:03:39,100
need of mental health service,

4183
03:03:39,100 --> 03:03:40,100
substance use services in our nation

4184
03:03:40,100 --> 03:03:42,100
and certainly in our local community

4185
03:03:42,100 --> 03:03:46,100
so again I would caution that, you

4186
03:03:46,100 --> 03:03:49,100
know, the delay and my support is to

4187
03:03:49,100 --> 03:03:51,100
move forward as a community member, as

4188
03:03:51,100 --> 03:03:55,100
a mental health advocate and as a

4189
03:03:55,100 --> 03:03:59,100
member as I sit before you serving the

4190
03:03:59,100 --> 03:04:01,100
board of supervisors on the behavioral

4191
03:04:01,100 --> 03:04:03,401
health commission, thank you.

4192
03:04:05,100 --> 03:04:06,100
>> and that concludes public comment.

4193
03:04:06,100 --> 03:04:08,100
>> thank you, I would like to make a

4194
03:04:08,100 --> 03:04:11,100
substitute motion to approve the item as

4195
03:04:11,100 --> 03:04:12,100
presented.

4196
03:04:12,100 --> 03:04:14,401
is there a second?

4197

unless to do so would jeopardize the

03:06:29,100 --> 03:06:32,100
agency's parties and would jeopardize

>> considering the lateness of the

4258
03:07:11,100 --> 03:07:14,100
day, I would like to move 19 to

4259
03:07:14,100 --> 03:07:16,100
consent even though we've already

4260
03:07:16,100 --> 03:07:18,100
taken up the consent agenda, can we move

4261
03:07:18,100 --> 03:07:20,100
that back to consent, I originally

4262
03:07:20,100 --> 03:07:23,100
lifted it from consent to

4263
03:07:26,100 --> 03:07:27,100

regular agenda.

4267
03:07:32,100 --> 03:07:33,100

4282

number 19 -- we already approved the

4283
03:07:56,100 --> 03:07:57,100
consent, I believe we have just

4284
03:07:57,100 --> 03:08:00,100
approved item number 19 with this vote.

4285
03:08:00,100 --> 03:08:03,100
and we will now hear item number 11

4286
03:08:03,100 --> 03:08:05,100
and it will be quick, so that we can

4287
03:08:05,100 --> 03:08:09,100
move quickly on to our study session.

4288
03:08:09,100 --> 03:08:10,100
thank you, director hodges.

4289
03:08:10,100 --> 03:08:11,100
>> yes.

4290
03:08:11,100 --> 03:08:13,100
good afternoon, president corzo,

4291
03:08:13,100 --> 03:08:16,100
honorable board members, mr. Callagy,

4292
03:08:17,100 --> 03:08:21,201
mr. Nibbelin, mr. Eli, I'm ray hodges,

4293
03:08:22,100 --> 03:08:25,601
the department of house, and I'm

4294
03:08:26,100 --> 03:08:30,201
pleased to be joined by doh, the

4295
03:08:31,100 --> 03:08:33,100
affordable housing fund is the flagship

4296
03:08:33,100 --> 03:08:35,401
program by providing capital

4297
03:08:36,100 --> 03:08:38,100
subsidy to affordable housing

4298
03:08:38,100 --> 03:08:40,100
throughout the county through a

4299
03:08:40,100 --> 03:08:41,100
rigorous competitive process.

4300
03:08:41,100 --> 03:08:44,100
the fund of competition were launched

4301
03:08:44,100 --> 03:08:47,100
back in 2019 with boomerang funds and

4302
03:08:47,100 --> 03:08:51,201
your board has directed a source of

4303
03:08:52,100 --> 03:08:54,100
resources, arpa and cares act dollars

4304
03:08:54,100 --> 03:08:56,100
and some other resources.

4305
03:08:56,100 --> 03:08:57,100
the affordable housing fund is also

4306
03:08:57,100 --> 03:09:00,100
the means by which our department

4307
03:09:00,100 --> 03:09:03,100
disburses other state and local funds

4308
03:09:03,100 --> 03:09:06,100
we compete with whenever possible.

4309
03:09:11,100 --> 03:09:14,100
so, across our first 13 rounds, san

4310
03:09:14,100 --> 03:09:16,100
mateo county has supported 72

4311
03:09:16,100 --> 03:09:19,100
affordable housing developments with a

4312
03:09:19,100 --> 03:09:21,401
total of 5122 affordable homes.

4313
03:09:24,100 --> 03:09:27,601
3142 are complete and occupied by low

4314
03:09:28,100 --> 03:09:30,100
income families, seniors, public

4315
03:09:30,100 --> 03:09:32,100
employees, veterans, farm workers,

4316
03:09:32,100 --> 03:09:34,401
persons with disabilities and

4317
03:09:35,100 --> 03:09:37,401
formerly unhoused persons with

4318
03:09:38,100 --> 03:09:39,100
families.

4319
03:09:39,100 --> 03:09:40,100
790 are under construction with

4320
03:09:40,100 --> 03:09:43,100
another 1190 are in predevelopment, we

4321
03:09:43,100 --> 03:09:44,100
know those projects have commitments

4322
03:09:44,100 --> 03:09:47,100
from us but we know our cities are

4323
03:09:47,100 --> 03:09:49,100
shaping additional projects earlier in

4324
03:09:49,100 --> 03:09:50,100
predevelopment right now.

4325
03:09:50,100 --> 03:09:52,100
and this speaks to one of the primary

4326
03:09:52,100 --> 03:09:55,100
goals of the fund which is helping the

4327
03:09:55,100 --> 03:09:57,100
county's 21 jurisdictions preserve

4328
03:09:57,100 --> 03:09:59,100
affordable homes and thereby helping

4329
03:09:59,100 --> 03:10:02,100
them make meaningful progress towards

4330
03:10:03,100 --> 03:10:05,100
rhna housing production targets in the

4331
03:10:05,100 --> 03:10:06,100
state.

4332
03:10:06,100 --> 03:10:07,100
given the amount of funding we have

4333
03:10:07,100 --> 03:10:09,100
available to administer versus the

4334
03:10:09,100 --> 03:10:11,100
demand we see in the competition every

4335
03:10:11,100 --> 03:10:13,100
year, our team strives to stretch the

4336
03:10:13,100 --> 03:10:14,100
county dollars as far as possible to

4337
03:10:14,100 --> 03:10:16,100
maximize the number of affordable

4338
03:10:16,100 --> 03:10:19,100
homes we can support in the 21

4339
03:10:19,100 --> 03:10:20,100
jurisdictions.

4340
03:10:20,100 --> 03:10:21,100
you can see here the county is

4341
03:10:21,100 --> 03:10:24,100
invested a total of 364 million

4342
03:10:25,100 --> 03:10:27,100
dollars in those 5100 affordable homes

4343
03:10:27,100 --> 03:10:30,100
but that investment allowed us to

4344
03:10:30,100 --> 03:10:32,100
access 3.2 billion dollars in private

4345
03:10:32,100 --> 03:10:35,100
financing and subsidy from state,

4346
03:10:35,100 --> 03:10:37,100
federal government and fill

4347
03:10:37,100 --> 03:10:39,100
philanthropy to produce and preserve

4348
03:10:39,100 --> 03:10:41,100
affordable homes but to provide jobs

4349
03:10:41,100 --> 03:10:43,100
and construction in the property

4350
03:10:43,100 --> 03:10:45,100
management, supportive services,

4351
03:10:45,100 --> 03:10:46,100
financial services and more.

4352
03:10:46,100 --> 03:10:48,100
right now to date, every dollar of

4353
03:10:48,100 --> 03:10:50,100
measure k proceeds invested in the

4354
03:10:50,100 --> 03:10:53,100
fund is leveraged $16 of other

4355
03:10:55,100 --> 03:10:57,100
resources.

4356
03:10:57,100 --> 03:11:00,100
so, in round 14, we had just over 29

4357
03:11:00,100 --> 03:11:02,100
million dollars available to allocate,

4358
03:11:02,100 --> 03:11:05,601
19 million dollars in new measure a

4359
03:11:08,100 --> 03:11:09,100
funds, 12 million dollars returned to

4360
03:11:09,100 --> 03:11:10,100
the county through changes to

4361
03:11:10,100 --> 03:11:12,401
previously awarded projects, 5 until

4362
03:11:14,100 --> 03:11:15,100
mental health services, and 100

4363
03:11:15,100 --> 03:11:17,100
thousand dollars in county impact fees.

4364
03:11:17,100 --> 03:11:19,401
we received ten applications

4365
03:11:20,100 --> 03:11:21,100
requesting 70 million dollars,

4366
03:11:21,100 --> 03:11:23,100
one did not meet threshold

4367
03:11:23,100 --> 03:11:25,100
requirements but what you have before

4368
03:11:25,100 --> 03:11:29,100
you today in a moment here is the

4369
03:11:29,100 --> 03:11:31,100
recommendations of doh staff and our

4370
03:11:31,100 --> 03:11:32,100
housing and community development

4371
03:11:32,100 --> 03:11:34,100
committee which held a public hearing

4372
03:11:34,100 --> 03:11:37,100
on these projects last month.

4373
03:11:41,100 --> 03:11:43,100
the 9 applications that met threshold

4374
03:11:43,100 --> 03:11:45,100
were located in 9 communities across

4375
03:11:45,100 --> 03:11:48,100
the county shown on the map, the 6

4376
03:11:48,100 --> 03:11:50,100
highest scoring projects recommended for

4377
03:11:50,100 --> 03:11:52,100
funding are located in the city's in

4378
03:11:52,100 --> 03:11:54,401
bold on this list.

4379
03:11:55,100 --> 03:11:57,100
there we go.

4380
03:11:59,100 --> 03:12:02,100
south san francisco, half moon bay,

4381
03:12:02,100 --> 03:12:04,401
san carlos, redwood city,

4382
03:12:05,100 --> 03:12:06,100
unincorporated north fair oaks and the

4383
03:12:06,100 --> 03:12:08,401
town of portola valley.

4384
03:12:10,100 --> 03:12:14,201
three projects were not awarded to an

4385
03:12:15,100 --> 03:12:18,100
award because of lower scores and

4386
03:12:18,100 --> 03:12:21,601
limiting the subsidy, they are all

4387
03:12:22,100 --> 03:12:24,100
good projects and we suspect they'll

4388
03:12:24,100 --> 03:12:27,100
approach us for support in the future.

4389
03:12:27,100 --> 03:12:29,100
so, staff and the housing and

4390
03:12:29,100 --> 03:12:30,100
community development committee

4391
03:12:30,100 --> 03:12:33,100
recommend awards to six projects, they

4392
03:12:33,100 --> 03:12:36,100
sum to 459 affordable homes in five

4393
03:12:36,100 --> 03:12:37,100
new construction rental projects and

4394
03:12:37,100 --> 03:12:40,100
one first time ownership project.

4395
03:12:40,100 --> 03:12:42,100
these six requested a total of over 37

4396
03:12:42,100 --> 03:12:45,100
million in capital financing through

4397
03:12:45,100 --> 03:12:48,100
staff's underwriting and scoring, we

4398
03:12:48,100 --> 03:12:49,100
recommended smaller awards to two of

4399
03:12:49,100 --> 03:12:51,100
the projects but were confident they

4400
03:12:51,100 --> 03:12:53,100
can still move into construction with

4401
03:12:53,100 --> 03:12:54,100
that award.

4402
03:12:54,100 --> 03:12:57,100
none of the 9 projects requested the

4403
03:12:57,100 --> 03:12:59,100
available mhsa funding so we are

4404
03:12:59,100 --> 03:13:01,100
awarding over 24 million dollars today

4405
03:13:01,100 --> 03:13:03,100
and will put that remaining image out

4406
03:13:03,100 --> 03:13:06,100
through a more focused over

4407
03:13:09,100 --> 03:13:11,100
-the-counter supplemental nofa.

4408
03:13:12,100 --> 03:13:15,100
critical goals of the funds is to

4409
03:13:15,100 --> 03:13:17,100
provide affordable homes for

4410
03:13:17,100 --> 03:13:19,100
populations essential to your board's

4411
03:13:19,100 --> 03:13:21,100
priorities, in this round, these six

4412
03:13:21,100 --> 03:13:24,100
projects will provide a minimum of 24

4413
03:13:24,100 --> 03:13:26,100
units of supportive housing for

4414
03:13:26,100 --> 03:13:28,100
people supporting homelessness, 76

4415
03:13:28,100 --> 03:13:30,100

4417
03:13:32,100 --> 03:13:35,100
disability, 39 homes for senior farm

4418
03:13:35,100 --> 03:13:37,100
workers, 24 for county and other

4419
03:13:37,100 --> 03:13:40,100
public employees and 193 units for

4420
03:13:40,100 --> 03:13:42,100
families who need two and three

4421
03:13:42,100 --> 03:13:43,100
bedroom homes.

4422
03:13:43,100 --> 03:13:47,801
and I'll turn here to rocio for quick

4423
03:13:49,100 --> 03:13:51,100
details for projects.

4424
03:13:53,100 --> 03:13:55,100

>> welcome.

4426
03:14:00,100 --> 03:14:03,601
>> I'm going to talk now about 555

4427
03:14:06,100 --> 03:14:09,100
kelly, this is located in the heart of

4428
03:14:09,100 --> 03:14:13,201
half moon bay close to health clinic,

4429
03:14:14,100 --> 03:14:16,100
pharmacy, grocery stores, public

4430
03:14:16,100 --> 03:14:18,401
transit and agricultural employment.

4431
03:14:19,100 --> 03:14:22,100
it will have 40 senior farm worker

4432
03:14:22,100 --> 03:14:26,801
units and at least two of these units

4433
03:14:28,100 --> 03:14:31,100
will be assigned for senior farm

4434
03:14:31,100 --> 03:14:33,100
workers experiencing homelessness.

4435
03:14:33,100 --> 03:14:36,100
the property will have a community

4436
03:14:36,100 --> 03:14:38,100
resource center that will provide

4437
03:14:38,100 --> 03:14:41,601
services for the entire farm worker

4438
03:14:42,100 --> 03:14:43,100
community.

4439
03:14:43,100 --> 03:14:46,100
it has secured significant city and

4440
03:14:46,100 --> 03:14:48,401
state funding including 13.3 million

4441
03:14:49,100 --> 03:14:52,601
dollars award from the farmer program

4442
03:14:55,100 --> 03:14:58,100
and 2.76 million from the infill

4443
03:14:59,100 --> 03:15:01,100
infrastructure grant and a city

4444
03:15:01,100 --> 03:15:03,401
commitment for 3.1 million dollars, 1.4

4445
03:15:07,100 --> 03:15:11,100
million comes from arpa a award to the

4446
03:15:11,100 --> 03:15:12,100
city.

4447
03:15:12,100 --> 03:15:14,100
the project requested 7.3 million

4448
03:15:14,100 --> 03:15:17,100
dollars and their recommendation is

4449
03:15:17,100 --> 03:15:20,100
measure k award of 6.5 million.

4450
03:15:22,100 --> 03:15:23,100
this recommendation is conditioned on

4451
03:15:23,100 --> 03:15:26,100
the project working with the county

4452
03:15:26,100 --> 03:15:28,401
secure operating subsidy and

4453
03:15:29,100 --> 03:15:31,100
applying for 9% tax credits in

4454
03:15:31,100 --> 03:15:33,100
early 2027.

4455
03:15:34,100 --> 03:15:37,601
staff and hcd, housing and community

4456
03:15:38,100 --> 03:15:41,100
development committee are also aware

4457
03:15:45,100 --> 03:15:49,100
of a local initiative on the november

4458
03:15:49,100 --> 03:15:52,100
ballot that will overturn the city's

4459
03:15:52,100 --> 03:15:55,100
council approval of the project if

4460
03:15:55,100 --> 03:15:56,100
passed.

4461
03:15:56,100 --> 03:15:59,100
should the ballot initiative be

4462
03:15:59,100 --> 03:16:01,100
successful, the housing with the

4463
03:16:01,100 --> 03:16:04,601
developer and the city to discuss

4464
03:16:05,100 --> 03:16:08,601
appropriate next steps that the moment.

4465
03:16:13,100 --> 03:16:15,100
>> I'm sorry to interrupt you, I

4466
03:16:15,100 --> 03:16:17,100
thought we could do this item really

4467
03:16:17,100 --> 03:16:19,100
quickly before the study session but

4468
03:16:19,100 --> 03:16:21,100
can you just tell me how much more

4469
03:16:21,100 --> 03:16:24,100
time you think you need?

4470
03:16:25,100 --> 03:16:26,100
>> [inaudible]

4471
03:16:26,100 --> 03:16:29,100
>> I'm sorry, we could also just move

4472
03:16:29,100 --> 03:16:32,100
it back to after but the study

4473
03:16:32,100 --> 03:16:33,100
session's probably going to take like

4474
03:16:33,100 --> 03:16:35,100
two hours.

4475
03:16:37,100 --> 03:16:38,100
>> madam chair --

4476
03:16:38,100 --> 03:16:40,100

them.

4481
03:16:47,100 --> 03:16:49,100
I know we've been pretty diligent on the

4482
03:16:49,100 --> 03:16:50,100
package.

4483
03:16:50,100 --> 03:16:53,601
I appreciate staff moving forward in

4485
03:16:59,100 --> 03:17:02,100
vote the item now and I'm willing to

4486
03:17:02,100 --> 03:17:03,100
make the motion.

4487
03:17:03,100 --> 03:17:04,100

>> I just wanted to just -- just

4494
03:17:15,100 --> 03:17:18,100
because walnut street was covered by

4495
03:17:18,100 --> 03:17:21,100
the daily journal, we've had extensive

4496
03:17:21,100 --> 03:17:22,100
discussions with the city council

4497
03:17:22,100 --> 03:17:25,100

4514
03:17:59,100 --> 03:18:00,100
say thank you for your consideration

4515
03:18:00,100 --> 03:18:03,601
of our project in portola valley,

4516
03:18:04,100 --> 03:18:06,100
those units are a first for us,

4517
03:18:06,100 --> 03:18:08,100
building on a church property so

4518
03:18:08,100 --> 03:18:10,100
that's a unique property we're very

4519
03:18:10,100 --> 03:18:14,100
happy to put forward in front of you

4520
03:18:14,100 --> 03:18:16,100
today and receive funding from that.

4521
03:18:16,100 --> 03:18:19,100
I'll pick up director hodge's invitation

4522
03:18:19,100 --> 03:18:22,100
to come back at a lower date on other

4523
03:18:22,100 --> 03:18:24,100
projects we'll have in the county and

4524
03:18:24,100 --> 03:18:25,100
really appreciate your consideration

4525
03:18:25,100 --> 03:18:26,100
today.

4526
03:18:26,100 --> 03:18:27,100
thank you.

4527
03:18:27,100 --> 03:18:28,100
>> alright, thank you.

4528
03:18:28,100 --> 03:18:30,100
we'll go to zoom for public comment on

4529
03:18:30,100 --> 03:18:31,100

4530
03:18:31,100 --> 03:18:34,100
make a comment, raise your hand at

4531
03:18:34,100 --> 03:18:35,100
this time, final call.

4532
03:18:35,100 --> 03:18:36,100
we do have one hand raised and that

4533
03:18:36,100 --> 03:18:38,100
anne, please unmute and begin.

4534
03:18:38,100 --> 03:18:39,100
>> thank you.

4535
03:18:39,100 --> 03:18:43,100
I just wanted to say that the project

4536
03:18:43,100 --> 03:18:44,100
at 555 kelly, it is my understanding

4537
03:18:44,100 --> 03:18:47,100
that it has to go to voters and I

4538
03:18:47,100 --> 03:18:49,100
don't know if that will or will not be

4539
03:18:49,100 --> 03:18:52,100
approved, I have no idea, but I am

4540
03:18:52,100 --> 03:18:53,100
still requesting that cypress point

4541
03:18:53,100 --> 03:18:56,601
and moss beach be designated for

4542
03:18:57,100 --> 03:18:59,100
senior housing and there are already

4543
03:18:59,100 --> 03:19:01,100
places for farm workers at that site.

4544
03:19:01,100 --> 03:19:03,100
this is something that will be

4545
03:19:03,100 --> 03:19:06,100
completed within a year and people

4546
03:19:06,100 --> 03:19:08,100
could be moving in at that time

4547
03:19:08,100 --> 03:19:12,100
instead of having to wait and find out

4548
03:19:12,100 --> 03:19:13,100
whether or not this will be approved

4549
03:19:13,100 --> 03:19:15,100
so I just wanted to put that out

4550
03:19:15,100 --> 03:19:16,100
there.

4551
03:19:16,100 --> 03:19:19,100
also there are still safety problems

4552
03:19:19,100 --> 03:19:20,100
with cypress point.

4553
03:19:20,100 --> 03:19:22,100
there is no sidewalk for children to

4554
03:19:22,100 --> 03:19:25,100
walk on to school, there is the dirt,

4555
03:19:25,100 --> 03:19:29,100
it is just a dirt path with one side

4556
03:19:29,100 --> 03:19:33,201
is a ravine, the other side is

4557
03:19:34,100 --> 03:19:36,100
highway 1, with the lack of funds come

4558
03:19:36,100 --> 03:19:39,100
frg the vehicle license fees, that may

4559
03:19:39,100 --> 03:19:41,100
never get taken care of and this is a

4560
03:19:41,100 --> 03:19:43,100
great risk for families with children.

4561
03:19:43,100 --> 03:19:45,100
so, it is a much better site for

4562
03:19:45,100 --> 03:19:47,100
seniors and I please ask that you

4563
03:19:47,100 --> 03:19:48,100
consider that at this time.

4564
03:19:48,100 --> 03:19:50,100
thank you.

4565
03:19:50,100 --> 03:19:51,100
>> thank you.

4566
03:19:51,100 --> 03:19:54,100
and that concludes public comment for

4567
03:19:54,100 --> 03:19:55,100
item number 11.

4568
03:19:55,100 --> 03:19:56,100
>> thank you, supervisor mueller?

4569
03:19:56,100 --> 03:19:58,100
>> yes, colleagues, with respect to

4570
03:19:58,100 --> 03:20:01,100
the 555 kelly project in half moon

4571
03:20:01,100 --> 03:20:03,100
bay, while it is true the project is

4572
03:20:03,100 --> 03:20:06,100
currently facing a referendum, it was

4573
03:20:06,100 --> 03:20:09,100
passed by the city council and the

4574
03:20:09,100 --> 03:20:12,100
current time, state of california, it

4575
03:20:12,100 --> 03:20:15,100
is threatening litigation to the city

4576
03:20:15,100 --> 03:20:19,100
of half moon bay for not complying.

4577
03:20:19,100 --> 03:20:20,100
I think we should move forward to

4578
03:20:20,100 --> 03:20:23,100
empower the city of half moon bay to

4579
03:20:23,100 --> 03:20:25,100
become in compliance with the housing

4580
03:20:25,100 --> 03:20:28,100
element should the referendum fail or

4581
03:20:28,100 --> 03:20:31,601
should the referendum pass, not pass,

4582
03:20:35,100 --> 03:20:39,100
and it fails -- sorry, referendums --

4583
03:20:39,100 --> 03:20:42,100
the referendum needs pass for it to go

4584
03:20:42,100 --> 03:20:43,100
forward.

4585
03:20:43,100 --> 03:20:45,100
if it fails, and the project isn't

4586
03:20:45,100 --> 03:20:47,100
going forward, we still need to put

4587
03:20:47,100 --> 03:20:49,100
the city of half moon bay in the

4588
03:20:49,100 --> 03:20:50,100
proper positioning to negotiate with

4589
03:20:50,100 --> 03:20:53,100
the state of california over that

4590
03:20:53,100 --> 03:20:54,100
potential lawsuit, so either way, it's

4591
03:20:54,100 --> 03:20:57,100
very important that this funding move

4592
03:20:57,100 --> 03:20:59,100
forward today.

4593
03:21:01,100 --> 03:21:06,100
>> I see a lot of my -- does anyone

4594
03:21:06,100 --> 03:21:07,100
else want the make a comment.

4595
03:21:07,100 --> 03:21:09,100
we have a motion and a second I

4596
03:21:09,100 --> 03:21:11,100
believe, roll call vote, please.

4597
03:21:11,100 --> 03:21:12,100
>> supervisor speier?

4598
03:21:12,100 --> 03:21:13,100
>> aye.

4599
03:21:13,100 --> 03:21:14,100
>> supervisor mueller?

4600
03:21:14,100 --> 03:21:15,100
>> yes.

4601
03:21:15,100 --> 03:21:16,100
>> supervisor gauthier?

4602
03:21:16,100 --> 03:21:17,100
>> yes.

4603
03:21:17,100 --> 03:21:18,100
>> canepa?

4604
03:21:18,100 --> 03:21:19,100
>> aye.

4605
03:21:19,100 --> 03:21:20,100
>> president corzo?

4606
03:21:20,100 --> 03:21:21,100
>> yes.

4607
03:21:21,100 --> 03:21:22,100
>> motion passes unanimously.

4608
03:21:22,100 --> 03:21:23,100
>> now we will begin item number 6,

4609
03:21:23,100 --> 03:21:26,100
our long awaited juvenile justice

4610
03:21:29,100 --> 03:21:30,100
study session, with that, I will hand

4611
03:21:30,100 --> 03:21:33,601
it over to supervisor speier for

4612
03:21:34,100 --> 03:21:37,601
welcome and purpose of the study

4613
03:21:38,100 --> 03:21:39,100
session.

4614
03:21:39,100 --> 03:21:41,401
>> thank you, madam president.

4615
03:21:42,100 --> 03:21:46,201
this is as one writer said the

4616
03:21:47,100 --> 03:21:51,201
historic study session and one that is

4617
03:21:52,100 --> 03:21:53,100
very important and one that I think

4618
03:21:53,100 --> 03:21:56,100
we're going to learn a lot from.

4619
03:21:56,100 --> 03:21:58,100
at the outset, I just want to say the

4620
03:21:58,100 --> 03:22:01,100
good news is that juvenile detainees

4621
03:22:01,100 --> 03:22:04,100
have declined over the years.

4622
03:22:04,100 --> 03:22:06,100
today we have 40 detainees at the youth

4623
03:22:06,100 --> 03:22:09,100
service center down from several

4624
03:22:09,100 --> 03:22:11,100
hundred a decade ago.

4625
03:22:11,100 --> 03:22:13,100
we're going to hear today from

4626
03:22:13,100 --> 03:22:16,100
probation chief john keene and from

4627
03:22:16,100 --> 03:22:18,100
the district attorney's office, the

4628
03:22:18,100 --> 03:22:20,100
private defender's office and a judge

4629
03:22:20,100 --> 03:22:22,100
and from community partners providing

4630
03:22:22,100 --> 03:22:24,100
services to the youth.

4631
03:22:24,100 --> 03:22:28,801
and we will hear from the jjdpc chair

4632
03:22:32,100 --> 03:22:36,100
joanna as well, I have made two

4633
03:22:36,100 --> 03:22:38,100
visits to hillcrest, the most recent

4634
03:22:38,100 --> 03:22:41,100
last night, where I sat with 6 or 7

4635
03:22:41,100 --> 03:22:44,100
detainees, some under 18, some over.

4636
03:22:45,100 --> 03:22:49,100
it was an enjoyable gathering and I

4637
03:22:49,100 --> 03:22:51,100
learned a great deal.

4638
03:22:51,100 --> 03:22:53,100
I think there's improvements that can

4639
03:22:53,100 --> 03:22:57,100
be made but I also think that the

4640
03:22:57,100 --> 03:22:59,100
conditions there have improved.

4641
03:22:59,100 --> 03:23:01,100
these are the words of the detainees,

4642
03:23:01,100 --> 03:23:03,100
and that the food has improved and

4643
03:23:03,100 --> 03:23:06,100
these are the words of the detainees,

4644
03:23:06,100 --> 03:23:08,100
so there's some good news here, there's

4645
03:23:08,100 --> 03:23:11,100
some need to improve news and we look

4646
03:23:11,100 --> 03:23:13,100
forward to hearing from all of you.

4647
03:23:13,100 --> 03:23:15,401
>> thank you, supervisor speier.

4648
03:23:18,100 --> 03:23:22,201
I will start by reiterating my lived

4649
03:23:27,100 --> 03:23:30,601
experience and my actual first points

4650
03:23:31,100 --> 03:23:34,100
of contact with our juvenile justice

4651
03:23:34,100 --> 03:23:37,100
system growing up in this community.

4652
03:23:37,100 --> 03:23:40,601
and that is through my experience

4653
03:23:41,100 --> 03:23:45,201
being the younger sister of my brother

4654
03:23:50,100 --> 03:23:53,601
that passed away when I was 16.

4655
03:23:54,100 --> 03:23:57,100
I was I think under 10 when he was a

4656
03:23:57,100 --> 03:24:01,201
teen and he was incarcerated in our

4657
03:24:02,100 --> 03:24:04,100
juvenile hall when it was called

4658
03:24:04,100 --> 03:24:07,601
hillcrest and was located at 21 tower

4659
03:24:08,100 --> 03:24:13,100
road and this was at a time where our

4660
03:24:13,100 --> 03:24:14,100
county was charging families for

4661
03:24:14,100 --> 03:24:18,100
their youth being in detention and our

4662
03:24:18,100 --> 03:24:22,100
family was very low income and I

4663
03:24:22,100 --> 03:24:25,601
remember calling into a board of

4664
03:24:26,100 --> 03:24:28,100
supervisors meeting during covid and

4665
03:24:28,100 --> 03:24:32,801
making a comment via zoom and then I

4666
03:24:33,100 --> 03:24:36,601
joined this board and I remember

4667
03:24:37,100 --> 03:24:40,100
having a conversation with former

4668
03:24:40,100 --> 03:24:43,100
supervisor slocum where he mentioned

4669
03:24:43,100 --> 03:24:46,100
remembering, hearing a public speaker

4670
03:24:49,100 --> 03:24:53,201
refer to a time where families were

4671
03:24:55,100 --> 03:24:58,100
charged for their family member being

4672
03:24:58,100 --> 03:25:01,100
incarcerated and I remember him

4673
03:25:02,100 --> 03:25:04,100
feeling like -- he took that a little

4674
03:25:04,100 --> 03:25:06,100
bit personally and that made me feel

4675
03:25:06,100 --> 03:25:09,601
some empathy because I can understand

4676
03:25:11,100 --> 03:25:15,801
now being in this role how we answer

4677
03:25:16,100 --> 03:25:20,100
for a system where decisions were made

4678
03:25:20,100 --> 03:25:22,100
decades prior that we had no role in

4679
03:25:22,100 --> 03:25:25,100
but we are now in these seats making

4680
03:25:25,100 --> 03:25:27,100
decisions about that same system and

4681
03:25:27,100 --> 03:25:30,100
we have to deal with the impacts of

4682
03:25:30,100 --> 03:25:32,100
decisions made years prior.

4683
03:25:32,100 --> 03:25:36,201
and it's a great responsibility and I

4684
03:25:37,100 --> 03:25:39,100
have since have supported other family

4685
03:25:39,100 --> 03:25:42,100
members in going through the same

4686
03:25:42,100 --> 03:25:45,100
system and it is through this lens

4687
03:25:45,100 --> 03:25:47,100
that I bring a lot of care and

4688
03:25:47,100 --> 03:25:51,201
compassion for our young people and I

4689
03:25:55,100 --> 03:25:59,801
have also seen and gone back to the

4690
03:26:00,100 --> 03:26:02,100
ysc, the youth services center with a

4691
03:26:02,100 --> 03:26:05,100
cousin of mine who was incarcerated

4692
03:26:05,100 --> 03:26:08,100
when she was invited to come back and

4693
03:26:08,100 --> 03:26:11,601
speak to incarcerated youth from her

4694
03:26:14,100 --> 03:26:16,100
lived experience having graduated from

4695
03:26:16,100 --> 03:26:19,100
san jose state, from having become a

4696
03:26:19,100 --> 03:26:22,100
mother and changed her life around,

4697
03:26:22,100 --> 03:26:24,100
having positive healthy relations as

4698
03:26:24,100 --> 03:26:26,100
a consult, positive, healthy

4699
03:26:26,100 --> 03:26:29,100
relationships with staff who do

4700
03:26:29,100 --> 03:26:32,100
workout programs with youth, now

4701
03:26:33,100 --> 03:26:34,100
adults and have positive

4702
03:26:34,100 --> 03:26:35,100
relationships, right.

4703
03:26:35,100 --> 03:26:37,100
positive friendships.

4704
03:26:40,100 --> 03:26:43,100
so, this system at times has caused

4705
03:26:43,100 --> 03:26:46,100
harm but that's not all that it's done.

4706
03:26:46,100 --> 03:26:50,201
a lot of youth have been rehabilitated,

4707
03:26:52,100 --> 03:26:53,100
a lot of improvements have

4708
03:26:53,100 --> 03:26:54,100
been made and I think that it is our

4709
03:26:54,100 --> 03:26:55,100
duty to kind of honor all of it and

4710
03:26:55,100 --> 03:26:59,100
respect all of it and my intention

4711
03:26:59,100 --> 03:27:01,100
with this study session is that we all

4712
03:27:01,100 --> 03:27:03,100
see each other, that we center the

4713
03:27:03,100 --> 03:27:08,401
youth and that we kind of hit a reset

4714
03:27:09,100 --> 03:27:11,100
button and start rowing in the same

4715
03:27:11,100 --> 03:27:15,201
direction in that we value each other's

4716
03:27:17,100 --> 03:27:18,100
work, we respect each other's work

4717
03:27:18,100 --> 03:27:19,100
and we stop fighting each other

4718
03:27:19,100 --> 03:27:20,100
because all that it does is waste our

4719
03:27:20,100 --> 03:27:22,100
energy and it doesn't serve the youth.

4720
03:27:22,100 --> 03:27:26,801
so, that is my purpose for this study

4721
03:27:27,100 --> 03:27:28,100
session and I'm grateful that we're

4722
03:27:28,100 --> 03:27:30,100
all here and I hope that you share

4723
03:27:30,100 --> 03:27:32,401
that purpose with me.

4724
03:27:33,100 --> 03:27:37,201
with that, I would like to welcome

4725
03:27:38,100 --> 03:27:42,100
chief keene to share the state of

4726
03:27:42,100 --> 03:27:45,100
juvenile justice system in our county.

4727
03:27:45,100 --> 03:27:47,100
welcome, chief keene.

4728
03:28:13,100 --> 03:28:17,801
>> I was willing to cede my time to

4729
03:28:18,100 --> 03:28:20,100
the previous presentation if you

4730
03:28:20,100 --> 03:28:23,100
needed those two hours but I figure we

4731
03:28:23,100 --> 03:28:24,100
need to move forward with this.

4732
03:28:24,100 --> 03:28:25,100
thank you for the opportunity to be

4733
03:28:25,100 --> 03:28:27,100
here with you today, honorable board

4734
03:28:27,100 --> 03:28:30,100
of supervisors, mr. Callagy, mr.

4735
03:28:30,100 --> 03:28:33,100
nibbelin, mr. Eli, our public, our

4736
03:28:33,100 --> 03:28:35,100
department, system partners who are

4737
03:28:35,100 --> 03:28:37,100
here, our cbo's who are here to

4738
03:28:37,100 --> 03:28:39,401
support this conversation today.

4739
03:28:41,100 --> 03:28:43,100
so I'm very happy for the opportunity

4740
03:28:43,100 --> 03:28:46,100
to really have a broad conversation

4741
03:28:46,100 --> 03:28:47,100
about the state of the system, the

4742
03:28:47,100 --> 03:28:51,100
state of where we are but also to

4743
03:28:51,100 --> 03:28:55,201
level set and hopefully to reset some

4744
03:28:56,100 --> 03:28:58,100
of the narratives and information

4745
03:28:58,100 --> 03:29:02,201
that's been put out into the ether

4746
03:29:03,100 --> 03:29:05,100
which has a detriment impact itself.

4747
03:29:05,100 --> 03:29:07,100
the words we use matter.

4748
03:29:07,100 --> 03:29:09,100
words have meaning.

4749
03:29:09,100 --> 03:29:12,100
when adults intentionally mislead or

4750
03:29:12,100 --> 03:29:14,100
misrepresent information, it hurts

4751
03:29:14,100 --> 03:29:15,100
rehabilitation.

4752
03:29:15,100 --> 03:29:17,100
it doesn't help it.

4753
03:29:17,100 --> 03:29:19,100
while a much smaller population exists

4754
03:29:19,100 --> 03:29:22,100
at the hall today, they have much more

4755
03:29:22,100 --> 03:29:23,100
significant challenges that can be

4756
03:29:23,100 --> 03:29:25,100
much more difficult to serve.

4757
03:29:25,100 --> 03:29:28,100
many of you heard me say that

4758
03:29:28,100 --> 03:29:30,100
rehabilitation presumes that people

4759
03:29:30,100 --> 03:29:32,100
were already in a good place when we

4760
03:29:32,100 --> 03:29:33,100
met them.

4761
03:29:33,100 --> 03:29:35,100
the for some reason they fell off and

4762
03:29:35,100 --> 03:29:37,100
we reached down and picked them up and

4763
03:29:37,100 --> 03:29:39,100
dust them off and they're good go.

4764
03:29:39,100 --> 03:29:42,100
the reality is the vast majority of the

4765
03:29:42,100 --> 03:29:44,100
young people and the young adults in

4766
03:29:44,100 --> 03:29:45,100
the system that we work with didn't

4767
03:29:45,100 --> 03:29:48,100
start in a good place.

4768
03:29:49,100 --> 03:29:52,100
they're starting in a place with deficits

4769
03:29:52,100 --> 03:29:55,100
that exist that require almost

4770
03:29:57,100 --> 03:29:59,100
ablation, building pathways that

4771
03:29:59,100 --> 03:30:01,100
didn't exist before, so as we think

4772
03:30:01,100 --> 03:30:02,100
about that, young people need those

4773
03:30:02,100 --> 03:30:04,100
who choose to do this work and choose

4774
03:30:04,100 --> 03:30:08,801
to be in the system to have a

4775
03:30:10,100 --> 03:30:12,401
positive transparent behavior pattern.

4776
03:30:14,100 --> 03:30:16,100
my goal today is to provide you with

4777
03:30:16,100 --> 03:30:19,100
factual information about the role of

4778
03:30:19,100 --> 03:30:20,100
function, administration, regulation

4779
03:30:20,100 --> 03:30:22,100
of and operation of the probation

4780
03:30:22,100 --> 03:30:24,100
department, specifically at the youth

4781
03:30:24,100 --> 03:30:26,100
services center.

4782
03:30:27,100 --> 03:30:29,401
policies, regulations, statutes are

4783
03:30:32,100 --> 03:30:33,100
the foundation for which we operate,

4784
03:30:33,100 --> 03:30:34,100
not ideology.

4785
03:30:34,100 --> 03:30:35,100
we implement the law as it is, not how

4786
03:30:35,100 --> 03:30:38,100
others would wish for it to be or how

4787
03:30:38,100 --> 03:30:42,201
others would hope for it to be.

4788
03:30:50,100 --> 03:30:53,100
this is overseen by our juvenile

4789
03:30:53,100 --> 03:30:56,601
institution as well as our housing

4790
03:30:59,100 --> 03:31:00,100
services.

4791
03:31:00,100 --> 03:31:02,100
this aids youth to transition back

4792
03:31:02,100 --> 03:31:04,100
into the community.

4793
03:31:06,100 --> 03:31:09,100
our vision statement here is that we're

4794
03:31:09,100 --> 03:31:12,100
going to help make youth have more

4795
03:31:12,100 --> 03:31:13,100
positive and life-changing choices

4796
03:31:13,100 --> 03:31:15,100
when they return to the community,

4797
03:31:15,100 --> 03:31:16,100
that's our vision statement.

4798
03:31:16,100 --> 03:31:18,100
that's our hope for every single young

4799
03:31:18,100 --> 03:31:19,100
person who walks in our door

4800
03:31:19,100 --> 03:31:22,100
regardless of how they got there.

4801
03:31:22,100 --> 03:31:26,201
all the policies and rules are in

4802
03:31:29,100 --> 03:31:31,100
place that has contributed for them

4803
03:31:31,100 --> 03:31:35,100
being in our space and hopefully to a

4804
03:31:35,100 --> 03:31:39,201
pro social mindset and mindset on life

4805
03:31:40,100 --> 03:31:42,100
which comes with a rehabilitation of

4806
03:31:42,100 --> 03:31:43,100
success.

4807
03:31:43,100 --> 03:31:44,100
there are two separate groups at the

4808
03:31:44,100 --> 03:31:46,100
facility right now, those that are in

4809
03:31:46,100 --> 03:31:49,100
our prep program, the secondary

4810
03:31:49,100 --> 03:31:52,601
group that's in our soarr, prep

4811
03:31:53,100 --> 03:31:55,100
program are going to be there for a

4812
03:31:55,100 --> 03:31:58,100
minimum of 60 days, some of them have

4813
03:31:58,100 --> 03:32:00,100
had dispositions, some of them are

4814
03:32:00,100 --> 03:32:02,100
there because of probation violations

4815
03:32:02,100 --> 03:32:05,100
and our older population which is

4816
03:32:05,100 --> 03:32:08,100
our soarr population, this is as

4817
03:32:08,100 --> 03:32:11,601
response to senate bill 823 of youth

4818
03:32:13,100 --> 03:32:14,100
that would have otherwise went to

4819
03:32:14,100 --> 03:32:16,100
state facilities back to local

4820
03:32:16,100 --> 03:32:17,100
counties, it required for the

4821
03:32:17,100 --> 03:32:20,100
probation department and the county to

4822
03:32:20,100 --> 03:32:22,100
develop programs that mirrored or

4823
03:32:22,100 --> 03:32:25,100
similar to those at the state system.

4824
03:32:25,100 --> 03:32:29,201
this was a difficult lift and one

4825
03:32:30,100 --> 03:32:33,100
did not ask for, the way juvenile

4826
03:32:33,100 --> 03:32:35,100
hall was built and established

4827
03:32:35,100 --> 03:32:39,100
chased to be turned on its head's ends.

4828
03:32:39,100 --> 03:32:40,100
we are driving a car and changing

4829
03:32:40,100 --> 03:32:42,100
tires at the same time and looking out

4830
03:32:42,100 --> 03:32:45,100
for potholes along the way.

4831
03:32:45,100 --> 03:32:47,100
the population over the last two years

4832
03:32:47,100 --> 03:32:49,100
have been consistent, you will see

4833
03:32:49,100 --> 03:32:51,100
there's been slight spikes this year

4834
03:32:51,100 --> 03:32:54,601
in our overall numbers, the numbers

4835
03:32:55,100 --> 03:32:57,100
themselves have been consistent on

4836
03:32:57,100 --> 03:33:00,100
average all the way through.

4837
03:33:02,100 --> 03:33:05,100
so our population which is our older

4838
03:33:05,100 --> 03:33:08,100
population, initially when we first

4839
03:33:08,100 --> 03:33:11,100
built program back when senate bill

4840
03:33:11,100 --> 03:33:13,100
823 passed, the thought is we might

4841
03:33:13,100 --> 03:33:15,100
get five or six youth that would be in

4842
03:33:15,100 --> 03:33:16,100
this category being supported.

4843
03:33:16,100 --> 03:33:18,100
the reason we thought that is because

4844
03:33:18,100 --> 03:33:23,401
we were low users of djj, it has been

4845
03:33:25,100 --> 03:33:27,100
always to keep young people here at

4846
03:33:27,100 --> 03:33:31,100
home, to send folks to djj and

4847
03:33:31,100 --> 03:33:33,100
not to overly place things removing

4848
03:33:33,100 --> 03:33:34,100
them from home.

4849
03:33:34,100 --> 03:33:36,100
we have always tried to find ways to

4850
03:33:36,100 --> 03:33:37,100
support youth here.

4851
03:33:37,100 --> 03:33:39,100
this board and prior iterations of the

4852
03:33:39,100 --> 03:33:41,100
board have been supportive of that

4853
03:33:41,100 --> 03:33:43,100
process, however it serve as detriment

4854
03:33:43,100 --> 03:33:45,100
when our funding streams were putting

4855
03:33:45,100 --> 03:33:46,100
together.

4856
03:33:46,100 --> 03:33:48,100
unlike many other counties who had

4857
03:33:48,100 --> 03:33:50,100
long historical trends of sending

4858
03:33:50,100 --> 03:33:52,100
people to djj, our money that we

4859
03:33:52,100 --> 03:33:53,100
received as a result of that was

4860
03:33:53,100 --> 03:33:54,100
impacted by that.

4861
03:33:54,100 --> 03:33:56,100
we received a lot less than

4862
03:33:56,100 --> 03:33:58,401
surrounding counties around us.

4863
03:34:03,100 --> 03:34:07,100
so, one of the main things that's

4864
03:34:07,100 --> 03:34:08,100
important today, to talk about a

4865
03:34:08,100 --> 03:34:10,100
system as it stands, how we were put

4866
03:34:10,100 --> 03:34:12,100
together, what our goals are and the

4867
03:34:12,100 --> 03:34:16,201
way in which we do our business.

4868
03:34:17,100 --> 03:34:20,601
detention reform really started in the

4869
03:34:22,100 --> 03:34:24,100
late 90's, the goal was to look at

4870
03:34:24,100 --> 03:34:25,100
large numbers of youth that were

4871
03:34:25,100 --> 03:34:26,100
inside facilities and understanding

4872
03:34:26,100 --> 03:34:27,100
it was a good chance a large

4873
03:34:27,100 --> 03:34:28,100
percentage of those young people did

4874
03:34:28,100 --> 03:34:30,100
not need to be in custodial settings

4875
03:34:30,100 --> 03:34:32,100
to receive services.

4876
03:34:32,100 --> 03:34:33,100
san mateo county like many of the

4877
03:34:33,100 --> 03:34:35,100
other bay counties started to look at

4878
03:34:35,100 --> 03:34:37,100
what could they do differently to

4879
03:34:37,100 --> 03:34:39,100
provide a level of support to

4880
03:34:39,100 --> 03:34:40,100
young people.

4881
03:34:40,100 --> 03:34:43,100
this started in this county around

4882
03:34:43,100 --> 03:34:45,401
2005, the county put together

4883
03:34:46,100 --> 03:34:47,100
stakeholder meetings and groups and

4884
03:34:47,100 --> 03:34:49,100
looked at who could provide the best

4885
03:34:49,100 --> 03:34:51,100
level of services for young people at

4886
03:34:51,100 --> 03:34:53,100
the same time building a new system

4887
03:34:53,100 --> 03:34:56,100
that would really be more focused on

4888
03:34:56,100 --> 03:34:58,100
putting more young people at home and

4889
03:34:58,100 --> 03:35:01,100
less people in detention where

4890
03:35:01,100 --> 03:35:02,100
possible.

4891
03:35:02,100 --> 03:35:03,100
on the screen you see several of the

4892
03:35:03,100 --> 03:35:06,100
things that are hallmarks of san mateo

4893
03:35:06,100 --> 03:35:08,100
county's focus on only having young

4894
03:35:08,100 --> 03:35:10,100
people in detention as a last resort.

4895
03:35:10,100 --> 03:35:13,100
you will see the building of the ysc,

4896
03:35:13,100 --> 03:35:17,201
you mentioned the old juvenile hall at

4897
03:35:19,100 --> 03:35:21,100
tower road, that was an antiquated

4898
03:35:21,100 --> 03:35:23,100
system and building that had been in

4899
03:35:23,100 --> 03:35:25,100
place for a long time.

4900
03:35:25,100 --> 03:35:27,100
this looked at how can we put together

4901
03:35:27,100 --> 03:35:30,100
services that are not only best for

4902
03:35:30,100 --> 03:35:32,100
young people but helped their

4903
03:35:32,100 --> 03:35:33,100
families, the concept of youth

4904
03:35:33,100 --> 03:35:35,100
services building is around bringing

4905
03:35:35,100 --> 03:35:37,100
things together under one roof so

4906
03:35:37,100 --> 03:35:38,100
you're not sending families all over

4907
03:35:38,100 --> 03:35:40,100
the state and county to receive

4908
03:35:40,100 --> 03:35:41,100
support.

4909
03:35:41,100 --> 03:35:44,100
that was the first step in that

4910
03:35:44,100 --> 03:35:45,100
process.

4911
03:35:45,100 --> 03:35:48,100
the juvenile hall turns 20 this year

4912
03:35:48,100 --> 03:35:50,100
in september, so it is a well lived

4913
03:35:50,100 --> 03:35:51,100
building that's been around for a

4914
03:35:51,100 --> 03:35:52,100
while.

4915
03:35:52,100 --> 03:35:54,100
at the time it was one of the newer

4916
03:35:54,100 --> 03:35:57,100
models of what people had hoped for

4917
03:35:57,100 --> 03:35:58,100
detention in terms of the changes.

4918
03:35:58,100 --> 03:36:00,100
this county also had an assessment

4919
03:36:00,100 --> 03:36:03,100
center process where it evaluated

4920
03:36:03,100 --> 03:36:04,100
young people to determine who needed

4921
03:36:04,100 --> 03:36:06,100
to be in the facility and who didn't.

4922
03:36:06,100 --> 03:36:09,100
I'm proud of the fact when I came in

4923
03:36:09,100 --> 03:36:12,100
2013, we focused on creating diversion

4924
03:36:13,100 --> 03:36:14,100
programs.

4925
03:36:14,100 --> 03:36:15,100
myself, educator, police chiefs and

4926
03:36:15,100 --> 03:36:17,100
other folks in the community spent a

4927
03:36:17,100 --> 03:36:19,100
week in georgetown to learn how to

4928
03:36:19,100 --> 03:36:21,100
build a diversion program that was

4929
03:36:21,100 --> 03:36:24,100
going to be multisystemic and

4930
03:36:24,100 --> 03:36:25,100
multifunctional both outside of the

4931
03:36:25,100 --> 03:36:29,100
system as well as in, as we created a

4932
03:36:29,100 --> 03:36:32,100
cohort of divisions, many of which

4933
03:36:32,100 --> 03:36:35,100
still today we are fortunate to fund a

4934
03:36:35,100 --> 03:36:36,100
deputy probation officer who works

4935
03:36:36,100 --> 03:36:40,100
out of the city of san mateo

4936
03:36:40,100 --> 03:36:41,100
who provides diversion service outside in

4937
03:36:41,100 --> 03:36:43,100
the community.

4938
03:36:43,100 --> 03:36:45,100
also diversion is now offered in

4939
03:36:45,100 --> 03:36:47,100
school settings, there was changes in

4940
03:36:47,100 --> 03:36:49,100
discipline practices which also helped

4941
03:36:49,100 --> 03:36:50,100
to reduce the number of young

4942
03:36:50,100 --> 03:36:52,401
people in the facility.

4943
03:36:53,100 --> 03:36:56,100
we married the emission criteria

4944
03:36:56,100 --> 03:36:57,100
overtime.

4945
03:36:57,100 --> 03:36:58,100
in the past when young people would

4946
03:36:58,100 --> 03:37:00,100
make it to the hall for a variety of

4947
03:37:00,100 --> 03:37:01,100
low level offences and sometimes

4948
03:37:01,100 --> 03:37:04,100
parents who decided they want to

4949
03:37:04,100 --> 03:37:06,100
teach their young person a lesson and

4950
03:37:06,100 --> 03:37:08,100
drop them off for a weekend, we became

4951
03:37:08,100 --> 03:37:10,100
strict in the criteria in turnover who

4952
03:37:10,100 --> 03:37:12,100
could come into facility.

4953
03:37:12,100 --> 03:37:14,100
focusing on those offenses that really

4954
03:37:14,100 --> 03:37:17,100
were issues of public safety.

4955
03:37:17,100 --> 03:37:21,100
and I have to say also too that this

4956
03:37:21,100 --> 03:37:23,100
particular cause has oftentimes caused

4957
03:37:23,100 --> 03:37:26,100
challenges between us and some of our

4958
03:37:26,100 --> 03:37:27,100
local police department friends

4959
03:37:27,100 --> 03:37:28,100
because they are frustrated by the

4960
03:37:28,100 --> 03:37:31,100
fact we don't take more young people

4961
03:37:31,100 --> 03:37:33,100
in, that we are very focused on only

4962
03:37:33,100 --> 03:37:36,100
taking in the young people that

4963
03:37:36,100 --> 03:37:40,201
we are statutorily mandated to so it

4964
03:37:42,100 --> 03:37:45,100
does create fiction, my superintendent

4965
03:37:45,100 --> 03:37:47,100
takes calls trying to negotiate how

4966
03:37:47,100 --> 03:37:49,100
they can drop more people off and

4967
03:37:49,100 --> 03:37:51,100
lastly we talked about the utilization

4968
03:37:51,100 --> 03:37:53,100
of state funds for preventative

4969
03:37:53,100 --> 03:37:55,100
activities, this county has

4970
03:37:55,100 --> 03:37:56,100
always invested tens of millions of

4971
03:37:56,100 --> 03:37:57,100
dollars in prevention.

4972
03:37:57,100 --> 03:37:59,100
in many of your districts, you will

4973
03:37:59,100 --> 03:38:02,100
find local programs at school based

4974
03:38:02,100 --> 03:38:05,601
levels or community levels that are

4975
03:38:06,100 --> 03:38:09,601
funded that are focused that young

4976
03:38:11,100 --> 03:38:13,100
people don't become part of the system.

4977
03:38:13,100 --> 03:38:16,100
you'll hear me today to refer to a lot

4978
03:38:16,100 --> 03:38:18,100
of online materials you can look up,

4979
03:38:18,100 --> 03:38:21,601
we have comprehensive reporters in the

4980
03:38:23,100 --> 03:38:25,401
juvenile coordinating council report,

4981
03:38:26,100 --> 03:38:28,100
those will outline the utilization of

4982
03:38:28,100 --> 03:38:30,100
tens of millions of dollars focused in

4983
03:38:30,100 --> 03:38:32,100
community settings and its schools and

4984
03:38:32,100 --> 03:38:34,100
others to focus on ensuring that young

4985
03:38:34,100 --> 03:38:38,100
people do not come into the system

4986
03:38:38,100 --> 03:38:40,100
unnecessarily.

4987
03:38:40,100 --> 03:38:44,801
and if you wouldn't mind, give me a

4988
03:38:46,100 --> 03:38:48,100
second, I want to play this video, in

4989
03:38:48,100 --> 03:38:50,100
terms of how the process works and

4990
03:38:50,100 --> 03:38:52,401
coming into the facility.

4991
03:38:56,100 --> 03:38:57,100
( playing video ).

4992
03:38:57,100 --> 03:38:58,100
>> what is the book, admission and

4993
03:38:58,100 --> 03:39:01,100
classification process at the ysc, the

4994
03:39:01,100 --> 03:39:03,100
san mateo county probation department

4995
03:39:03,100 --> 03:39:06,100
has a legal and standardized process

4996
03:39:06,100 --> 03:39:09,601
for receiving youth into the juvenile

4997
03:39:10,100 --> 03:39:11,100
facility.

4998
03:39:11,100 --> 03:39:12,100
the admittance of youth into the

4999
03:39:12,100 --> 03:39:15,100
facility is conducted in a respectful,

5000
03:39:15,100 --> 03:39:17,100
humane, trauma-sensitive and

5001
03:39:17,100 --> 03:39:19,100
culturally cognizant manner.

5002
03:39:19,100 --> 03:39:21,100
to start, the arresting agency is

5003
03:39:21,100 --> 03:39:24,100
responsible for transporting the minor

5004
03:39:24,100 --> 03:39:25,100
to the youth services center and

5005
03:39:25,100 --> 03:39:28,100
provides the booking staff with the

5006
03:39:28,100 --> 03:39:30,100
necessary arrest documents.

5007
03:39:31,100 --> 03:39:33,100
this documentation is essential for

5008
03:39:33,100 --> 03:39:36,100
smooth transfer process and ensures

5009
03:39:36,100 --> 03:39:38,100
compliance with legal requirements.

5010
03:39:38,100 --> 03:39:41,100
prior to admitting the youth,

5011
03:39:41,100 --> 03:39:43,100
institution staff reviews the

5012
03:39:43,100 --> 03:39:44,100
admissions paperwork and determine if

5013
03:39:44,100 --> 03:39:46,100
the youth should be admitted.

5014
03:39:46,100 --> 03:39:49,100
youth under the age of 12 years will

5015
03:39:49,100 --> 03:39:52,100
not be accepted into custody unless

5016
03:39:52,100 --> 03:39:55,601
there are allegations of murder or

5017
03:39:58,100 --> 03:39:59,100
certain sexual assaults.

5018
03:39:59,100 --> 03:40:00,100
upon admission, youth are read their

5019
03:40:00,100 --> 03:40:02,100
miranda rights, admission staff

5020
03:40:02,100 --> 03:40:03,100
inventories to youth's personal

5021
03:40:03,100 --> 03:40:06,100
belongings and issues with basic

5022
03:40:08,100 --> 03:40:10,100
clothing, bedding, hygiene items and

5023
03:40:10,100 --> 03:40:12,401
offer food upon arrival.

5024
03:40:14,100 --> 03:40:17,601
parents or guardians are informed via

5025
03:40:19,100 --> 03:40:22,100
phone, they are allowed two calls

5026
03:40:22,100 --> 03:40:24,401
within admittance unless physically

5027
03:40:27,100 --> 03:40:28,100
impossible.

5028
03:40:28,100 --> 03:40:30,100
housing classifications are determined

5029
03:40:30,100 --> 03:40:32,100
by age, maturity, sophistication,

5030
03:40:32,100 --> 03:40:34,401
emotional stability, program needs,

5031
03:40:35,100 --> 03:40:37,100
public safety considerations,

5032
03:40:38,100 --> 03:40:39,100
medical/mental health conversations,

5033
03:40:39,100 --> 03:40:41,100
gender and gender identity of the

5034
03:40:41,100 --> 03:40:42,100
youth.

5035
03:40:42,100 --> 03:40:45,100
factors such as compatibility with

5036
03:40:45,100 --> 03:40:47,100
other youth, size, non-association

5037
03:40:47,100 --> 03:40:49,401
orders, protective custody orders

5038
03:40:50,100 --> 03:40:52,100
and gang affiliation may also

5039
03:40:52,100 --> 03:40:54,100
influence housing assignments.

5040
03:40:59,100 --> 03:41:01,100
( video complete ).

5041
03:41:03,100 --> 03:41:06,100
>> I think it's important to emphasize

5042
03:41:06,100 --> 03:41:08,100
that there's an actual legal process

5043
03:41:08,100 --> 03:41:10,100
by which how we take young people in,

5044
03:41:10,100 --> 03:41:14,100
so it's not this kind of willie nilly

5045
03:41:14,100 --> 03:41:17,100
approach, I heard people say probation

5046
03:41:17,100 --> 03:41:19,100
incarcerates kids, that's not our

5047
03:41:19,100 --> 03:41:21,100
function, we don't go to the street

5048
03:41:21,100 --> 03:41:23,100
and scoop kids off the street.

5049
03:41:23,100 --> 03:41:25,100
there has to be probable cause for

5050
03:41:25,100 --> 03:41:26,100
police departments to bring young

5051
03:41:26,100 --> 03:41:27,100
people into the facility.

5052
03:41:27,100 --> 03:41:29,100
what you have in front of you and I

5053
03:41:29,100 --> 03:41:32,100
know it's small print so I would

5054
03:41:32,100 --> 03:41:34,100
quickly say it really outlines the

5055
03:41:34,100 --> 03:41:35,100
legal requirements for certain

5056
03:41:35,100 --> 03:41:36,100
populations that have to be admitted

5057
03:41:36,100 --> 03:41:39,601
into the hall so those individual

5058
03:41:41,100 --> 03:41:43,100
situations that involve welfare and

5059
03:41:43,100 --> 03:41:46,100
institutions code section 707b which

5060
03:41:46,100 --> 03:41:48,100
are considered serious and violent

5061
03:41:48,100 --> 03:41:50,100
felonies, those have to be taken into

5062
03:41:50,100 --> 03:41:53,601
the facility but the police department

5063
03:41:54,100 --> 03:41:56,100
on the street still have a mandate of

5064
03:41:56,100 --> 03:41:57,100
having to make sure we have sufficient

5065
03:41:57,100 --> 03:41:59,100
probable cause to bring beam into the

5066
03:41:59,100 --> 03:42:00,100
space.

5067
03:42:00,100 --> 03:42:03,100
we have our age restrictions, 12

5068
03:42:04,100 --> 03:42:06,100
year-olds are -- we do not want to

5069
03:42:06,100 --> 03:42:08,100
have in our space, it has to be

5070
03:42:08,100 --> 03:42:09,100
specific situations.

5071
03:42:09,100 --> 03:42:12,100
those warrants often times are run

5072
03:42:12,100 --> 03:42:14,100
away warrant from other counties, we

5073
03:42:14,100 --> 03:42:16,100
are mandated by law that if there is a

5074
03:42:16,100 --> 03:42:18,100
run away warrant that's out there, we

5075
03:42:18,100 --> 03:42:22,100
have to find a space for that young

5076
03:42:22,100 --> 03:42:24,100
person, so that's one of the reason.

5077
03:42:24,100 --> 03:42:28,100
14 years or older who can be taken

5078
03:42:28,100 --> 03:42:29,100
into custody, the use of a firearm,

5079
03:42:29,100 --> 03:42:32,100
the commission of a felony, there's a

5080
03:42:32,100 --> 03:42:35,100
laundry list of those offenses that

5081
03:42:35,100 --> 03:42:37,100
fall under 707b.

5082
03:42:51,100 --> 03:42:52,100
the current census of the population

5083
03:42:52,100 --> 03:42:55,100
we currently have now, everyone in our

5084
03:42:55,100 --> 03:42:58,100
facility now has at least one felony

5085
03:42:58,100 --> 03:43:01,100
in addition to whatever additional

5086
03:43:01,100 --> 03:43:03,100
misdemeanor charges they have.

5087
03:43:03,100 --> 03:43:06,601
all the felonies are consistent with

5088
03:43:09,100 --> 03:43:10,100
the state require, people both in and

5089
03:43:10,100 --> 03:43:11,100
under that, there may be young people

5090
03:43:11,100 --> 03:43:12,100
who have additional misdemeanor

5091
03:43:12,100 --> 03:43:13,100
charges on top of the felonies but a

5092
03:43:13,100 --> 03:43:16,100
a person is not going to be booked

5093
03:43:16,100 --> 03:43:19,100
into our facility on a misdemeanor

5094
03:43:19,100 --> 03:43:22,100
unless it involves serious violence or

5095
03:43:22,100 --> 03:43:23,100
injury.

5096
03:43:23,100 --> 03:43:24,100
if you look at our two yearbook

5097
03:43:24,100 --> 03:43:26,100
information in front of you, we have

5098
03:43:26,100 --> 03:43:28,100
focused on really ensuring that the

5099
03:43:28,100 --> 03:43:30,100
young people we can get home, we send

5100
03:43:30,100 --> 03:43:32,100
home back to their families, we have

5101
03:43:32,100 --> 03:43:34,401
other alternatives like electronic

5102
03:43:35,100 --> 03:43:37,100
monitoring of home, home detention

5103
03:43:37,100 --> 03:43:38,100
where they're able to stay in their

5104
03:43:38,100 --> 03:43:40,100
families and stay in those spaces.

5105
03:43:40,100 --> 03:43:44,801
if you look at the total number of

5106
03:43:45,100 --> 03:43:47,100
population compared to the number of

5107
03:43:47,100 --> 03:43:49,100
bookings we have per year, you can see

5108
03:43:49,100 --> 03:43:53,100
once again we keep smaller numbers of

5109
03:43:53,100 --> 03:43:56,100
young people that make their way into

5110
03:43:56,100 --> 03:43:57,100
our space.

5111
03:43:57,100 --> 03:43:59,100
now the next part of this presentation

5112
03:43:59,100 --> 03:44:02,100
is really one where it's important to

5113
03:44:02,100 --> 03:44:04,100
once again level set the environment

5114
03:44:04,100 --> 03:44:06,100
at the facility.

5115
03:44:06,100 --> 03:44:09,100
it's not to villainize young people,

5116
03:44:09,100 --> 03:44:12,100
it's not to try to attempt to moderate

5117
03:44:12,100 --> 03:44:14,100
the staff and say they're doing work

5118
03:44:14,100 --> 03:44:17,100
that others couldn't do or that

5119
03:44:17,100 --> 03:44:18,100
somehow it affords them special

5120
03:44:18,100 --> 03:44:22,100
treatment, it is to make it an

5121
03:44:22,100 --> 03:44:23,100
affirmative statement about what

5122
03:44:23,100 --> 03:44:27,100
exactly is versus what folks say is

5123
03:44:27,100 --> 03:44:28,100
not.

5124
03:44:28,100 --> 03:44:29,100
this environmental data is focused on

5125
03:44:29,100 --> 03:44:31,100
some important issues, one, we look

5126
03:44:31,100 --> 03:44:34,100
and see the staff injuries over the

5127
03:44:34,100 --> 03:44:37,601
last five years, the attacks directly

5128
03:44:38,100 --> 03:44:40,100
at staff over the last five years,

5129
03:44:40,100 --> 03:44:43,100
youth on youth attacks, contraband

5130
03:44:43,100 --> 03:44:46,100
incidents and our computer use

5131
03:44:46,100 --> 03:44:47,100
violations, we'll talk about that because

5132
03:44:47,100 --> 03:44:49,100
there's been a lot of conversation

5133
03:44:49,100 --> 03:44:52,100
around us removing people's access to

5134
03:44:52,100 --> 03:44:55,100
computers for no good reason, so the

5135
03:44:55,100 --> 03:44:57,100
things I point out here is that when

5136
03:44:57,100 --> 03:45:00,100
you see some of these attacks, these

5137
03:45:00,100 --> 03:45:02,100
are targeted directly towards our

5138
03:45:02,100 --> 03:45:03,100
staff.

5139
03:45:03,100 --> 03:45:06,100
these are things where young people

5140
03:45:06,100 --> 03:45:09,100
have unfortunately been courage --

5141
03:45:09,100 --> 03:45:12,100
encouraged to say the people there are

5142
03:45:12,100 --> 03:45:16,201
bad people or they don't have to

5143
03:45:17,100 --> 03:45:18,100
listen to them, if they have something

5144
03:45:18,100 --> 03:45:19,100
to say to you, they don't like, we'll

5145
03:45:19,100 --> 03:45:20,100
take care of it.

5146
03:45:20,100 --> 03:45:22,100
and those type of commentary has

5147
03:45:22,100 --> 03:45:24,100
helped to create an environment which

5148
03:45:24,100 --> 03:45:27,601
is less safe for our employees.

5149
03:45:33,100 --> 03:45:34,100
I have never presented this

5150
03:45:34,100 --> 03:45:36,100
information to the board before.

5151
03:45:36,100 --> 03:45:37,100
we work with it and keep it

5152
03:45:37,100 --> 03:45:40,100
moving because that's our task our

5153
03:45:40,100 --> 03:45:41,100
incredible staff has taken on.

5154
03:45:41,100 --> 03:45:43,100
the reality is that when it's

5155
03:45:43,100 --> 03:45:45,100
referenced in a way to suggest that

5156
03:45:45,100 --> 03:45:47,100
either we are bad people and

5157
03:45:47,100 --> 03:45:49,100
potentially trying to hurt children or

5158
03:45:49,100 --> 03:45:51,100
don't care about the kids we work

5159
03:45:51,100 --> 03:45:55,100
with, our folks come and work in

5160
03:45:55,100 --> 03:45:56,100
incredibly difficult situations and

5161
03:45:56,100 --> 03:45:58,100
the last point I'll make about this is

5162
03:45:58,100 --> 03:46:02,100
that if you look at the number of our

5163
03:46:02,100 --> 03:46:03,100
population recently compared to what

5164
03:46:03,100 --> 03:46:06,100
it was five years prior to covid where

5165
03:46:06,100 --> 03:46:09,100
we were arching over the 100, 120

5166
03:46:09,100 --> 03:46:11,100
youth, we averaged the same number of

5167
03:46:11,100 --> 03:46:13,100
attacks and injuries to employees

5168
03:46:13,100 --> 03:46:16,100
when we had four times, four times the

5169
03:46:16,100 --> 03:46:18,100
number of young people in our facility.

5170
03:46:18,100 --> 03:46:22,801
and this is data that is workers comp

5171
03:46:26,100 --> 03:46:27,100
data that is easily attainable for the

5172
03:46:27,100 --> 03:46:29,100
board, we have to keep those by state

5173
03:46:29,100 --> 03:46:31,100
mandate.

5174
03:46:32,100 --> 03:46:33,100
contraband.

5175
03:46:33,100 --> 03:46:35,100
these are some of the items we found

5176
03:46:35,100 --> 03:46:39,100
in our facility as we do searches.

5177
03:46:39,100 --> 03:46:43,801
I have a binder that staff full of

5178
03:46:50,100 --> 03:46:52,100
copies, instruments, sharpening

5179
03:46:52,100 --> 03:46:55,100
screws, sharpened nails, shards of

5180
03:46:57,100 --> 03:47:00,100
glass, marijuana, vape pens and

5181
03:47:02,100 --> 03:47:03,100
medication that's been cheated to

5182
03:47:03,100 --> 03:47:05,100
utilize to provide to other youth in

5183
03:47:05,100 --> 03:47:06,100
the facility.

5184
03:47:06,100 --> 03:47:09,100
so, when we talk about creating an

5185
03:47:09,100 --> 03:47:12,100
environment that is rehabilitative and

5186
03:47:12,100 --> 03:47:13,100
safe, these are some of the realities

5187
03:47:13,100 --> 03:47:15,100
of what that looks like.

5188
03:47:15,100 --> 03:47:18,100
so, once again, when there is this

5189
03:47:18,100 --> 03:47:21,100
impression that we're only serving low

5190
03:47:21,100 --> 03:47:24,100
level youth that are -- don't need to

5191
03:47:24,100 --> 03:47:27,100
be in the facility and they're there

5192
03:47:27,100 --> 03:47:30,100
because of some evil intention of the

5193
03:47:30,100 --> 03:47:32,100
detention department or law

5194
03:47:32,100 --> 03:47:35,100
enforcement, the facts don't measure

5195
03:47:36,100 --> 03:47:38,100
up.

5196
03:47:39,100 --> 03:47:41,100
there's also ban lot of conversation

5197
03:47:41,100 --> 03:47:43,100
that somehow we work without any

5198
03:47:43,100 --> 03:47:45,100
regulation and that no one's in

5199
03:47:45,100 --> 03:47:48,100
control of us and we don't have any

5200
03:47:48,100 --> 03:47:51,601
support from the state to provide

5201
03:47:52,100 --> 03:47:53,100
structure, guidelines, training or any

5202
03:47:53,100 --> 03:47:55,100
of that to our staff.

5203
03:47:55,100 --> 03:47:57,100
the reality is our staff when they

5204
03:47:57,100 --> 03:48:00,601
start their careers, they take almost

5205
03:48:01,100 --> 03:48:03,100
300 hours of training to initiate,

5206
03:48:03,100 --> 03:48:05,401
additional hours within the

5207
03:48:07,100 --> 03:48:08,100
facility and mandated training hours

5208
03:48:08,100 --> 03:48:10,100
that have to be done every single

5209
03:48:10,100 --> 03:48:11,100
year.

5210
03:48:11,100 --> 03:48:14,100
we also have state regulatory

5211
03:48:14,100 --> 03:48:15,100
oversight.

5212
03:48:15,100 --> 03:48:17,100
the board of state and community

5213
03:48:17,100 --> 03:48:19,100
corrections is california's

5214
03:48:20,100 --> 03:48:22,401
independent agency overseeing adult

5215
03:48:24,100 --> 03:48:26,100
and overall systems, they provide

5216
03:48:26,100 --> 03:48:27,100
inspection in public safety grants,

5217
03:48:27,100 --> 03:48:30,100
that is who we have to answer to, to

5218
03:48:30,100 --> 03:48:32,100
ensure our facility can run.

5219
03:48:32,100 --> 03:48:35,100
we also have support from advisory

5220
03:48:35,100 --> 03:48:38,601
committees like the oycr and they

5221
03:48:44,100 --> 03:48:46,100
have professionally trained

5222
03:48:47,100 --> 03:48:49,100
inspectors, when issues arise, they

5223
03:48:49,100 --> 03:48:52,100
work with counties to make sure

5224
03:48:52,100 --> 03:48:55,100
corrective action plans are created.

5225
03:49:01,100 --> 03:49:03,100
title 15 encompasses everything from

5226
03:49:03,100 --> 03:49:05,100
staffing, program and abuse,

5227
03:49:05,100 --> 03:49:06,100
allegations, food standards, education

5228
03:49:06,100 --> 03:49:08,100
standards and medical standards just

5229
03:49:08,100 --> 03:49:10,100
to say a few as well as title 24 which

5230
03:49:10,100 --> 03:49:13,100
is the building standards which

5231
03:49:13,100 --> 03:49:15,100
outline everything in the facility in

5232
03:49:15,100 --> 03:49:18,100
terms of how it's put together.

5233
03:49:18,100 --> 03:49:20,100
everything for how thick the bed can

5234
03:49:20,100 --> 03:49:24,100
be, how far off the floor it can be,

5235
03:49:24,100 --> 03:49:26,100
ada concerns, the way the building was

5236
03:49:26,100 --> 03:49:28,100
built initially was built this this

5237
03:49:28,100 --> 03:49:30,100
way under funding that was responsible

5238
03:49:30,100 --> 03:49:31,100
for it.

5239
03:49:31,100 --> 03:49:34,100
in the 13 years I've been your chief

5240
03:49:34,100 --> 03:49:36,100
probation officer, we have failed

5241
03:49:36,100 --> 03:49:37,100
inspections zero times.

5242
03:49:37,100 --> 03:49:40,601
we have had correction actions zero

5243
03:49:42,100 --> 03:49:43,100
times.

5244
03:49:43,100 --> 03:49:44,100
we have certainly had our experiences

5245
03:49:44,100 --> 03:49:48,100
during that time where the state has

5246
03:49:48,100 --> 03:49:50,100
said, we'd like to see you do this

5247
03:49:50,100 --> 03:49:53,100
better or we have advice on how you

5248
03:49:53,100 --> 03:49:55,100
could do wetter training or we have

5249
03:49:55,100 --> 03:49:58,100
advice on how you can write your

5250
03:49:58,100 --> 03:50:02,201
policies different so they can be clear

5251
03:50:04,100 --> 03:50:05,100
>> when we're here, we have never

5252
03:50:05,100 --> 03:50:06,100
failed an inspection.

5253
03:50:06,100 --> 03:50:07,100
cop pis of these inspects, ten years

5254
03:50:07,100 --> 03:50:09,100
worth can be found on the website for

5255
03:50:09,100 --> 03:50:11,100
people who want to go read.

5256
03:50:11,100 --> 03:50:13,100
>> chief, I'm going to give you a

5257
03:50:13,100 --> 03:50:14,100
time check.

5258
03:50:14,100 --> 03:50:17,100
we're going to give you ten more

5259
03:50:17,100 --> 03:50:18,100
minutes.

5260
03:50:18,100 --> 03:50:19,100
>> I'll just say respectfully in

5261
03:50:19,100 --> 03:50:22,100
protest, people who have taken shots

5262
03:50:22,100 --> 03:50:24,100
for me have had far more time than

5263
03:50:24,100 --> 03:50:25,100
that.

5264
03:50:25,100 --> 03:50:26,100
>> that's true, I'm going to give

5265
03:50:26,100 --> 03:50:27,100
you more time.

5266
03:50:27,100 --> 03:50:30,601
>> thank you, ma'am, I appreciate it.

5267
03:50:37,100 --> 03:50:38,100
thank you.

5268
03:50:38,100 --> 03:50:41,100
next is the conversation around prea,

5269
03:50:41,100 --> 03:50:42,100
I'll speed up here a little bit.

5270
03:50:42,100 --> 03:50:44,100
there's a lot of conversation why

5271
03:50:44,100 --> 03:50:47,100
we're not compliant with prea.

5272
03:50:48,100 --> 03:50:51,601
prea is the focus on eradicating

5273
03:50:52,100 --> 03:50:54,100
prison and detainee rape of all times

5274
03:50:54,100 --> 03:50:55,100
and institutions around the country.

5275
03:50:55,100 --> 03:50:57,100
the department of justice has a very

5276
03:50:57,100 --> 03:50:59,100
distinct set of categories in which

5277
03:50:59,100 --> 03:51:01,100
they determine whether you are

5278
03:51:01,100 --> 03:51:04,100
compliant with the goals of prea and

5279
03:51:04,100 --> 03:51:06,100
the legislation associated thereto.

5280
03:51:06,100 --> 03:51:09,100
in front of you, you have what are the

5281
03:51:09,100 --> 03:51:11,100
general themes that encompass the

5282
03:51:11,100 --> 03:51:13,100
entire legislation itself.

5283
03:51:13,100 --> 03:51:15,100
most notably at the top is zero

5284
03:51:15,100 --> 03:51:17,100
tolerance policy for abuse of any kind

5285
03:51:17,100 --> 03:51:20,100
along with additional issues around

5286
03:51:21,100 --> 03:51:22,100
training, medical, reporting and

5287
03:51:22,100 --> 03:51:25,100
investigation to say a few.

5288
03:51:26,100 --> 03:51:28,100
the reality is that the probation

5289
03:51:28,100 --> 03:51:30,100
department has been and is

5290
03:51:30,100 --> 03:51:33,100
substantially aligned with the federal

5291
03:51:33,100 --> 03:51:34,100
standards of prea, all the theme that

5292
03:51:34,100 --> 03:51:37,100
is are in prea are covered by our

5293
03:51:37,100 --> 03:51:38,100
current department prea policy.

5294
03:51:38,100 --> 03:51:42,100
you can find this prea policy on our

5295
03:51:42,100 --> 03:51:44,100
website, it is the prison rape elimination

5296
03:51:44,100 --> 03:51:47,100
act tab and under that, you can tab it

5297
03:51:47,100 --> 03:51:49,100
and hate our policy, it has

5298
03:51:49,100 --> 03:51:52,100
instructions for parents who want to

5299
03:51:52,100 --> 03:51:56,201
reach out to express concerns, we have

5300
03:51:57,100 --> 03:51:59,100
an additional interactive launch item

5301
03:51:59,100 --> 03:52:02,100
for services for individuals and

5302
03:52:02,100 --> 03:52:04,100
employees who may need support in this

5303
03:52:04,100 --> 03:52:06,100
area and it also shows at the end of

5304
03:52:06,100 --> 03:52:09,100
the day, we are abiding by all the

5305
03:52:09,100 --> 03:52:11,401
regulations that title 15 has.

5306
03:52:13,100 --> 03:52:15,100
in my research around this because

5307
03:52:15,100 --> 03:52:16,100
it's been a concerning issue

5308
03:52:16,100 --> 03:52:19,100
concerning a lot of the allegations

5309
03:52:19,100 --> 03:52:21,100
that have surrounded our county and

5310
03:52:21,100 --> 03:52:25,100
our area, what I found was startling

5311
03:52:25,100 --> 03:52:26,100
which is no one in the state of

5312
03:52:26,100 --> 03:52:29,100
california is in compliance with

5313
03:52:29,100 --> 03:52:30,100
prea.

5314
03:52:30,100 --> 03:52:32,100
compliance requires two primary

5315
03:52:32,100 --> 03:52:34,100
additional issues which is one, an

5316
03:52:34,100 --> 03:52:36,100
auditor who comes in and provides

5317
03:52:36,100 --> 03:52:39,100
auditing of your policies and

5318
03:52:39,100 --> 03:52:40,100
standards, that's one we don't have,

5319
03:52:40,100 --> 03:52:42,100
so when I say we're not in compliance,

5320
03:52:42,100 --> 03:52:46,100
it's not that I don't care about

5321
03:52:46,100 --> 03:52:48,100
keeping people safe, as I started off,

5322
03:52:48,100 --> 03:52:49,100
words matter.

5323
03:52:49,100 --> 03:52:50,100
we're not in compliance because we

5324
03:52:50,100 --> 03:52:52,100
don't have auditors.

5325
03:52:52,100 --> 03:52:55,100
a quick check of the auditor page on

5326
03:52:55,100 --> 03:52:58,100
there for auditor search, there is not

5327
03:52:58,100 --> 03:53:00,100
a certified auditor within 200 miles

5328
03:53:00,100 --> 03:53:01,100
of san mateo county.

5329
03:53:01,100 --> 03:53:03,100
I searched.

5330
03:53:04,100 --> 03:53:07,100
the only two that are listed on the

5331
03:53:07,100 --> 03:53:11,201
website are two folks whose audits --

5332
03:53:13,100 --> 03:53:14,100
the auditor certificates had expired

5333
03:53:14,100 --> 03:53:16,100
three years ago, the only current

5334
03:53:16,100 --> 03:53:18,100
auditors that exist are in la county

5335
03:53:18,100 --> 03:53:20,100
that I could find at this point.

5336
03:53:20,100 --> 03:53:22,100
the second part for state

5337
03:53:22,100 --> 03:53:25,100
certification is what's called a

5338
03:53:25,100 --> 03:53:28,100
governor certification where the state

5339
03:53:28,100 --> 03:53:30,100
has to certify that it is going to

5340
03:53:30,100 --> 03:53:33,100
100% certify that every area that

5341
03:53:33,100 --> 03:53:35,100
complied and will follow the rules of

5342
03:53:35,100 --> 03:53:36,100
prea.

5343
03:53:36,100 --> 03:53:37,100
we haven't done that and we haven't

5344
03:53:37,100 --> 03:53:39,100
done that since this stated in 2014 in

5345
03:53:39,100 --> 03:53:41,100
terms of compliance checks.

5346
03:53:41,100 --> 03:53:43,100
what exists is what's called an

5347
03:53:43,100 --> 03:53:45,100
insurance declaration.

5348
03:53:46,100 --> 03:53:48,100
it simply says we're going to do our

5349
03:53:48,100 --> 03:53:51,100
best to try to make sure most people

5350
03:53:51,100 --> 03:53:55,100
in the state have the elements of prea

5351
03:53:55,100 --> 03:53:57,100
in their functioning.

5352
03:53:57,100 --> 03:53:59,100
however, a strict letter of the law,

5353
03:53:59,100 --> 03:54:02,601
unless you have everything, you have

5354
03:54:03,100 --> 03:54:05,100
nothing.

5355
03:54:05,100 --> 03:54:09,100
our meals and diet, we have partners

5356
03:54:09,100 --> 03:54:10,100
who will talk about the diet and

5357
03:54:10,100 --> 03:54:12,100
meals, the individuals who do the

5358
03:54:12,100 --> 03:54:15,601
work, we're pleased to work the

5359
03:54:17,100 --> 03:54:18,100
sheriff's office and correctional in

5360
03:54:18,100 --> 03:54:21,100
relation to this, they are supported by

5361
03:54:21,100 --> 03:54:22,100
dietitians, health professionals and

5362
03:54:22,100 --> 03:54:25,100
individualized for each youth's needs,

5363
03:54:25,100 --> 03:54:28,100
they're aligned with usda standards

5364
03:54:28,100 --> 03:54:30,100
for meals and we have 30 plus youth

5365
03:54:30,100 --> 03:54:33,100
in the facility, our staff or their

5366
03:54:33,100 --> 03:54:36,100
staff are managing over 80 separate

5367
03:54:36,100 --> 03:54:38,401
diets for young people.

5368
03:54:39,100 --> 03:54:41,100
that includes everything from medical needs,

5369
03:54:41,100 --> 03:54:44,601
religious concerns as well as calorie

5370
03:54:45,100 --> 03:54:46,100
intake.

5371
03:54:46,100 --> 03:54:47,100
youth services center is almost 20

5372
03:54:47,100 --> 03:54:50,100
years old, it is a lived in building

5373
03:54:50,100 --> 03:54:52,100
but these pictures are taken within

5374
03:54:52,100 --> 03:54:54,100
the last recent months and it is not

5375
03:54:54,100 --> 03:54:56,100
necessarily a space where I would say

5376
03:54:56,100 --> 03:54:58,100
it's death trap or horrible place for

5377
03:54:58,100 --> 03:55:00,100
people to be.

5378
03:55:00,100 --> 03:55:03,100
we recognize the importance of

5379
03:55:04,100 --> 03:55:06,100
bringing arts into our space, in

5380
03:55:06,100 --> 03:55:07,100
collaboration with the sheriff's

5381
03:55:07,100 --> 03:55:10,601
activity league and working with our

5382
03:55:13,100 --> 03:55:14,100
youth, they have painted murals

5383
03:55:14,100 --> 03:55:15,100
throughout the facility that this have

5384
03:55:15,100 --> 03:55:17,100
participated in to do certain things.

5385
03:55:17,100 --> 03:55:19,100
the arts commission has been a great

5386
03:55:19,100 --> 03:55:22,100
partner in this and I thank

5387
03:55:22,100 --> 03:55:23,100
supervisor canepa who made that

5388
03:55:23,100 --> 03:55:25,100
connection between us and them.

5389
03:55:25,100 --> 03:55:28,100
we've been able to do that work and

5390
03:55:28,100 --> 03:55:30,100
have positive outcomes and create

5391
03:55:30,100 --> 03:55:31,100
unique opportunities for young people

5392
03:55:31,100 --> 03:55:32,100
in this space.

5393
03:55:32,100 --> 03:55:33,100
what you see in front of you is

5394
03:55:33,100 --> 03:55:36,100
another space that the young people

5395
03:55:36,100 --> 03:55:39,601
participate in which is a multisensory

5396
03:55:41,100 --> 03:55:43,100
de-escalation room, they need a quiet

5397
03:55:43,100 --> 03:55:44,100
space to go to.

5398
03:55:44,100 --> 03:55:47,601
this was a thing where everybody

5399
03:55:48,100 --> 03:55:50,100
participated, even myself did participate

5400
03:55:50,100 --> 03:55:52,100
in that space because we wanted

5401
03:55:52,100 --> 03:55:54,100
young people to see that we valued

5402
03:55:54,100 --> 03:55:58,201
them and cared about their long term

5403
03:55:59,100 --> 03:56:01,100
goals.

5404
03:56:01,100 --> 03:56:03,100
here's our community mural outside

5405
03:56:03,100 --> 03:56:05,100
which once again is a demonstration of

5406
03:56:05,100 --> 03:56:07,100
our commitment to the arts because we

5407
03:56:07,100 --> 03:56:09,100
recognize art is an important part of

5408
03:56:09,100 --> 03:56:10,100
rehabilitation.

5409
03:56:10,100 --> 03:56:11,100
the it was really about providing the

5410
03:56:11,100 --> 03:56:13,100
young people with something as an

5411
03:56:13,100 --> 03:56:15,100
inspiration to help focus them on the

5412
03:56:15,100 --> 03:56:19,201
time that's to come because we really

5413
03:56:22,100 --> 03:56:23,100
stressed to them that you are not your

5414
03:56:23,100 --> 03:56:24,100
current environment, your current

5415
03:56:24,100 --> 03:56:26,401
situation, there's more positive

5416
03:56:27,100 --> 03:56:28,100
things to come.

5417
03:56:28,100 --> 03:56:30,100
we do family nights, we have

5418
03:56:30,100 --> 03:56:32,100
graduation activities and we're proud

5419
03:56:32,100 --> 03:56:33,100
of the activities of our school

5420
03:56:33,100 --> 03:56:35,100
programs and the work they have done,

5421
03:56:35,100 --> 03:56:37,100
the young people that have graduated

5422
03:56:37,100 --> 03:56:40,100
from high school with us, the young

5423
03:56:40,100 --> 03:56:41,100
people that have graduated high school

5424
03:56:41,100 --> 03:56:46,401
with us, it is a -- college with us,

5425
03:56:47,100 --> 03:56:50,100
we have movies, we have everything we

5426
03:56:50,100 --> 03:56:54,100
do to provide alternatives and we do

5427
03:56:54,100 --> 03:56:57,100
include additional food on top of what

5428
03:56:57,100 --> 03:57:00,601
is provided by correctional health in

5429
03:57:01,100 --> 03:57:02,100
those activities.

5430
03:57:02,100 --> 03:57:04,100
often time there's concern about

5431
03:57:04,100 --> 03:57:05,100
programs in our space.

5432
03:57:05,100 --> 03:57:08,100
we have a robust program system.

5433
03:57:08,100 --> 03:57:10,100
honestly there's not enough hours in

5434
03:57:10,100 --> 03:57:11,100
the day for all the programs that

5435
03:57:11,100 --> 03:57:12,100
are here.

5436
03:57:12,100 --> 03:57:14,100
this board has been generous over the

5437
03:57:14,100 --> 03:57:15,100
years your support of programming in

5438
03:57:15,100 --> 03:57:17,100
our space, just a few months ago, you

5439
03:57:17,100 --> 03:57:19,100
approved a historic amount of

5440
03:57:19,100 --> 03:57:21,401
programming for the institutions.

5441
03:57:22,100 --> 03:57:24,100
and that program -- those programs

5442
03:57:24,100 --> 03:57:26,100
are also both internal programs and as

5443
03:57:26,100 --> 03:57:28,100
well as programs that are out in the

5444
03:57:28,100 --> 03:57:29,100
community.

5445
03:57:29,100 --> 03:57:30,100
these are just some of the programs

5446
03:57:30,100 --> 03:57:33,100
that most recently you approved.

5447
03:57:33,100 --> 03:57:36,100
high light core, we heard from a young

5448
03:57:36,100 --> 03:57:37,100
man yesterday who specifically called

5449
03:57:37,100 --> 03:57:39,100
out core as a program that was

5450
03:57:39,100 --> 03:57:41,100
important to him, that was teaching

5451
03:57:41,100 --> 03:57:44,100
him how to engage in positive

5452
03:57:44,100 --> 03:57:45,100
relationships and connecting with

5453
03:57:45,100 --> 03:57:47,100
people and supervisor corzo, that was

5454
03:57:47,100 --> 03:57:49,100
your brain child, thank you for that.

5455
03:57:49,100 --> 03:57:52,100
and this are just reminders with other

5456
03:57:52,100 --> 03:57:55,100
contracts you also recently provided

5457
03:57:55,100 --> 03:57:58,601
to provide services in our space.

5458
03:58:02,100 --> 03:58:05,100
technology, we have done our best over

5459
03:58:05,100 --> 03:58:08,100
the years to try to provide technology

5460
03:58:08,100 --> 03:58:10,100
opportunities for young people and it

5461
03:58:10,100 --> 03:58:11,100
is morphed over the years, when I

5462
03:58:11,100 --> 03:58:13,100
first started in 2013, we had a

5463
03:58:13,100 --> 03:58:15,100
couple of computers facing the wall

5464
03:58:15,100 --> 03:58:18,100
and that was it and the early stages

5465
03:58:18,100 --> 03:58:22,201
of our project change which I'll talk

5466
03:58:23,100 --> 03:58:26,100
about, we had kids westbound off one

5467
03:58:26,100 --> 03:58:28,100
or two desk top monitors.

5468
03:58:28,100 --> 03:58:29,100
we have committed to providing

5469
03:58:29,100 --> 03:58:31,100
opportunities for young people, there

5470
03:58:31,100 --> 03:58:34,100
are desk tops that every young person

5471
03:58:34,100 --> 03:58:35,100
whether it's in school has access to.

5472
03:58:35,100 --> 03:58:37,100
we work closely with the school

5473
03:58:37,100 --> 03:58:38,100
department, they have their own it

5474
03:58:38,100 --> 03:58:40,100
department, we have ours, they work in

5475
03:58:40,100 --> 03:58:42,100
collaboration to do that work, there

5476
03:58:42,100 --> 03:58:46,100
are desk tops accessible for them to

5477
03:58:46,100 --> 03:58:48,100
utilize, the laptops are for the young

5478
03:58:48,100 --> 03:58:50,100
people in college, they have their

5479
03:58:50,100 --> 03:58:51,100
individualized laptops to help them do

5480
03:58:51,100 --> 03:58:53,100
the work they're doing.

5481
03:58:53,100 --> 03:58:57,100
we are proud of our orijin tablets,

5482
03:58:57,100 --> 03:58:59,401
that gives them educational

5483
03:59:01,100 --> 03:59:03,100
opportunities but they also have the

5484
03:59:03,100 --> 03:59:05,100
ability to make phone calls and

5485
03:59:05,100 --> 03:59:06,100
video calls to their families from

5486
03:59:06,100 --> 03:59:07,100
this tablet.

5487
03:59:07,100 --> 03:59:10,100
one of the most interesting things

5488
03:59:10,100 --> 03:59:12,100
last night we discovered, the young

5489
03:59:12,100 --> 03:59:14,100
people were disappointed that the

5490
03:59:14,100 --> 03:59:16,100
movies don't roll around fast enough,

5491
03:59:16,100 --> 03:59:19,601
they don't have access to r-rated

5492
03:59:20,100 --> 03:59:22,100
movies, they were frustrated they

5493
03:59:22,100 --> 03:59:24,100
were watching the same movies over

5494
03:59:24,100 --> 03:59:27,100
again but the tablets have created a

5495
03:59:27,100 --> 03:59:28,100
new way for the young people to look

5496
03:59:28,100 --> 03:59:31,100
at things as well as get additional

5497
03:59:31,100 --> 03:59:34,100
certifications, education, as well as

5498
03:59:34,100 --> 03:59:35,100
therapeutic opportunities around drug

5499
03:59:35,100 --> 03:59:37,100
and alcohol consideration.

5500
03:59:39,100 --> 03:59:41,100
we've upgraded our wi-fi access

5501
03:59:41,100 --> 03:59:42,100
points throughout the facility to

5502
03:59:42,100 --> 03:59:44,100
provide a better stability who have

5503
03:59:44,100 --> 03:59:46,100
access to these systems.

5504
03:59:46,100 --> 03:59:49,100
they love their games so we commit to

5505
03:59:49,100 --> 03:59:52,100
purchasing play station and x-box

5506
03:59:52,100 --> 03:59:53,100
games for youth to be able to utilize.

5507
03:59:53,100 --> 03:59:56,100
a lot of that, the systems themselves

5508
03:59:56,100 --> 03:59:58,100
were donated by outside people,

5509
03:59:58,100 --> 04:00:00,100
we've helped support and

5510
04:00:00,100 --> 04:00:03,100
maintain those to acquiring additional

5511
04:00:03,100 --> 04:00:06,100
services and coming soon, we're going

5512
04:00:06,100 --> 04:00:10,100
to have our vr equipment, our provider

5513
04:00:10,100 --> 04:00:12,100
will be providing additional support

5514
04:00:12,100 --> 04:00:15,100
with virtual reality to help with the

5515
04:00:15,100 --> 04:00:16,100
teaching of skills for cte, they're

5516
04:00:16,100 --> 04:00:20,100
going to do a lot of incredible things

5517
04:00:20,100 --> 04:00:22,100
through a virtual space.

5518
04:00:22,100 --> 04:00:25,601
this is just some of orijin's

5519
04:00:26,100 --> 04:00:27,100
education and communication

5520
04:00:27,100 --> 04:00:29,100
technology, we see all of the

5521
04:00:29,100 --> 04:00:30,100
different things youth have been

5522
04:00:30,100 --> 04:00:33,100
accessing in the last 12 month period.

5523
04:00:33,100 --> 04:00:35,100
during that time, we've made over 46

5524
04:00:35,100 --> 04:00:38,100
thousand calls from the tablet space,

5525
04:00:38,100 --> 04:00:39,100
19 thousand of those calls have been

5526
04:00:39,100 --> 04:00:42,100
connected and on average the calluses

5527
04:00:42,100 --> 04:00:45,100
are going about 15 minutes a piece.

5528
04:00:45,100 --> 04:00:47,100
here are some of the learning

5529
04:00:47,100 --> 04:00:50,601
materials that are inside orijin and

5530
04:00:51,100 --> 04:00:52,100
some great opportunities for young

5531
04:00:52,100 --> 04:00:55,100
people the gain additional support on

5532
04:00:55,100 --> 04:00:58,100
top of all of the services you have

5533
04:00:58,100 --> 04:01:00,100
graciously approved.

5534
04:01:01,100 --> 04:01:04,100
the technology -- the ysc is a 20 year

5535
04:01:04,100 --> 04:01:05,100
old build, we have worked to upgrade

5536
04:01:05,100 --> 04:01:07,100
that material.

5537
04:01:08,100 --> 04:01:12,201
we use a senso program which monitors

5538
04:01:14,100 --> 04:01:15,100
our computer use.

5539
04:01:15,100 --> 04:01:16,100
it allows us to know when our young

5540
04:01:16,100 --> 04:01:18,100
people have violated our computer use

5541
04:01:18,100 --> 04:01:21,601
policy, they've gone to a prohibited

5542
04:01:23,100 --> 04:01:25,100
site that are sexual or violent in

5543
04:01:25,100 --> 04:01:27,100
nature, they have contacted victims

5544
04:01:27,100 --> 04:01:30,601
that they have victimized, they are

5545
04:01:31,100 --> 04:01:34,100
gang banging on social media, other

5546
04:01:34,100 --> 04:01:36,401
things that are prohibited

5547
04:01:42,100 --> 04:01:43,100
activities.

5548
04:01:43,100 --> 04:01:45,100
they find ways around our system all

5549
04:01:45,100 --> 04:01:47,100
the time, we have had to reboot and

5550
04:01:47,100 --> 04:01:51,100
reassess and figure out other ways to

5551
04:01:51,100 --> 04:01:53,100
assess that.

5552
04:01:53,100 --> 04:01:56,100
supporting a safe environment, we've

5553
04:01:56,100 --> 04:01:58,100
instituted body cams in our stashing,

5554
04:01:58,100 --> 04:02:01,601
that body cam program, we're having

5555
04:02:03,100 --> 04:02:04,100
some technology issues, it's getting

5556
04:02:04,100 --> 04:02:07,100
warm on our staff's chest while

5557
04:02:07,100 --> 04:02:09,100
they're wearing them, we're having

5558
04:02:09,100 --> 04:02:11,100
those batteries expense so we don't

5559
04:02:11,100 --> 04:02:12,100
have workers comp issues with that

5560
04:02:12,100 --> 04:02:15,100
and they'll be redeploy that.

5561
04:02:15,100 --> 04:02:18,100
we've upgraded our live scan machine

5562
04:02:18,100 --> 04:02:19,100
which is our fingerprinting machine,

5563
04:02:19,100 --> 04:02:21,100
we added a mobile version of that,

5564
04:02:21,100 --> 04:02:23,100
sometimes it can be difficult and

5565
04:02:23,100 --> 04:02:25,100
challenging for young people having

5566
04:02:25,100 --> 04:02:27,100
negative experiences at entry so, we

5567
04:02:27,100 --> 04:02:29,100
can go to them and it makes that part

5568
04:02:29,100 --> 04:02:31,100
of it a little safer and less

5569
04:02:31,100 --> 04:02:34,100
stressful for when they're getting

5570
04:02:35,100 --> 04:02:37,100
checked in.

5571
04:02:39,100 --> 04:02:41,100
we have contraband pictures that are

5572
04:02:41,100 --> 04:02:42,100
shown, we've come across more activities

5573
04:02:42,100 --> 04:02:44,100
and more things so we've needed

5574
04:02:44,100 --> 04:02:45,100
access to that.

5575
04:02:45,100 --> 04:02:47,100
and also the body scab, body scan, I

5576
04:02:47,100 --> 04:02:49,100
want to talk to you quickly because

5577
04:02:49,100 --> 04:02:51,100
it's an important addition to our

5578
04:02:51,100 --> 04:02:52,100
space.

5579
04:02:52,100 --> 04:02:53,100
we recognize that searching youth,

5580
04:02:53,100 --> 04:02:54,100
strip searching youth is something

5581
04:02:54,100 --> 04:02:57,100
people are not in favor of, however,

5582
04:02:57,100 --> 04:03:00,100
the law allows for it in very specific

5583
04:03:00,100 --> 04:03:02,100
circumstances, we only do it in those

5584
04:03:02,100 --> 04:03:04,100
specific circumstances.

5585
04:03:04,100 --> 04:03:05,100
we have written materials that show

5586
04:03:05,100 --> 04:03:07,401
when we do it.

5587
04:03:08,100 --> 04:03:10,100
our preferred way of doing things is

5588
04:03:10,100 --> 04:03:14,201
to utilize the body scanner, it's a

5589
04:03:16,100 --> 04:03:18,100
less invasive process, the machine is

5590
04:03:18,100 --> 04:03:21,100
more evasive than physically getting

5591
04:03:21,100 --> 04:03:23,100
nude because it goes very much in

5592
04:03:23,100 --> 04:03:24,100
terms of knowing what you have if on

5593
04:03:24,100 --> 04:03:27,100
your person, but it's safer way to do

5594
04:03:27,100 --> 04:03:29,100
things, less intrusive way for young

5595
04:03:29,100 --> 04:03:32,601
people and we should understand the

5596
04:03:33,100 --> 04:03:35,100
public's concern about what was being

5597
04:03:35,100 --> 04:03:37,100
characterized as an illegal strip

5598
04:03:37,100 --> 04:03:40,100
search, it is not, it is a strip

5599
04:03:40,100 --> 04:03:42,100
search folks didn't care for but we

5600
04:03:42,100 --> 04:03:43,100
had a valid reason for doing so, it

5601
04:03:43,100 --> 04:03:45,100
was a health and safety reason that

5602
04:03:45,100 --> 04:03:48,100
would have impacted the entire

5603
04:03:50,100 --> 04:03:51,100
facility.

5604
04:03:51,100 --> 04:03:53,100
additional upgrades to wi-fi, upgrades

5605
04:03:53,100 --> 04:03:56,100
to our cctv, this is an important part

5606
04:03:56,100 --> 04:03:58,100
of -- for us as we try to have an

5607
04:03:58,100 --> 04:04:01,100
environment that is safe and is void

5608
04:04:01,100 --> 04:04:05,100
of any type of illegal sexual activity

5609
04:04:05,100 --> 04:04:07,100
or negative behavior so we have

5610
04:04:07,100 --> 04:04:09,100
upgraded our systems to ensure that

5611
04:04:09,100 --> 04:04:11,100
not only can we keep recordings but

5612
04:04:11,100 --> 04:04:13,100
it's backed fup we lose power and we

5613
04:04:13,100 --> 04:04:15,100
have access to things for long term.

5614
04:04:15,100 --> 04:04:18,100
lastly we've put in under the door

5615
04:04:18,100 --> 04:04:19,100
cameras which are important and I

5616
04:04:19,100 --> 04:04:22,100
should say back to the cameras,

5617
04:04:22,100 --> 04:04:24,100
they're not in personal spaces,

5618
04:04:24,100 --> 04:04:26,100
they're not in the showers, they're

5619
04:04:26,100 --> 04:04:28,100
not the restrooms or not in places to

5620
04:04:28,100 --> 04:04:30,100
in any way negatively impact young

5621
04:04:30,100 --> 04:04:32,100
people and invade their policy.

5622
04:04:32,100 --> 04:04:34,100
they're in public spaces but they're

5623
04:04:34,100 --> 04:04:36,100
outside of buildings where any time

5624
04:04:36,100 --> 04:04:40,100
you move in our facility, we can see

5625
04:04:40,100 --> 04:04:43,100
you, so the reason why those cameras

5626
04:04:43,100 --> 04:04:46,100
exist are to support that.

5627
04:04:47,100 --> 04:04:48,100
lastly under the door cameras are

5628
04:04:48,100 --> 04:04:51,601
important because some of our young

5629
04:04:53,100 --> 04:04:55,100
people have covered their doors so we

5630
04:04:55,100 --> 04:04:57,100
can't see what's going on inside.

5631
04:04:57,100 --> 04:05:01,801
when we have to go inside, they have

5632
04:05:03,100 --> 04:05:05,100
jimmy rigged the floors where our

5633
04:05:05,100 --> 04:05:06,100
staff have slipped and fallen trying

5634
04:05:06,100 --> 04:05:07,100
to go in.

5635
04:05:07,100 --> 04:05:08,100
this is important to allow us

5636
04:05:08,100 --> 04:05:09,100
opportunity to see what's happening in

5637
04:05:09,100 --> 04:05:11,100
the rooms for safety reasons.

5638
04:05:11,100 --> 04:05:13,100
project change is one of the programs

5639
04:05:13,100 --> 04:05:14,100
we are most proud of.

5640
04:05:14,100 --> 04:05:18,201
it is an award winning program, san

5641
04:05:19,100 --> 04:05:22,100
mateo county is the model, the very

5642
04:05:22,100 --> 04:05:25,100
first one for this type of educational

5643
04:05:25,100 --> 04:05:28,100
programs and college spaces around the

5644
04:05:28,100 --> 04:05:29,100
state.

5645
04:05:29,100 --> 04:05:31,100
in 2013, I utilized my own funds to

5646
04:05:31,100 --> 04:05:33,100
help support the creation of the this

5647
04:05:33,100 --> 04:05:34,100
program.

5648
04:05:34,100 --> 04:05:36,100
along with the work our project change

5649
04:05:36,100 --> 04:05:38,100
partners worked for, they were

5650
04:05:38,100 --> 04:05:40,100
instrumental in really working with us

5651
04:05:40,100 --> 04:05:43,100
and not losing faith early on, so we

5652
04:05:43,100 --> 04:05:45,100
had really good incremental growth to

5653
04:05:45,100 --> 04:05:47,100
where we are today where we have

5654
04:05:47,100 --> 04:05:49,100
multiple young people that are

5655
04:05:49,100 --> 04:05:51,401
graduating college, getting multiple

5656
04:05:52,100 --> 04:05:53,100
degrees while they're in custody

5657
04:05:53,100 --> 04:05:55,100
with us and going on to hopefully four

5658
04:05:55,100 --> 04:05:56,100
year colleges.

5659
04:05:56,100 --> 04:05:58,100
we also have a cte program that we are

5660
04:05:58,100 --> 04:06:00,100
proud of.

5661
04:06:00,100 --> 04:06:03,601
this new program is california a-g

5662
04:06:05,100 --> 04:06:07,100
approved in terms of the credits, so

5663
04:06:07,100 --> 04:06:09,100
those 15 credits are young people need

5664
04:06:09,100 --> 04:06:10,100
to consider college here in

5665
04:06:10,100 --> 04:06:12,401
california, it's focused on

5666
04:06:15,100 --> 04:06:18,100
getting mastery training in college,

5667
04:06:18,100 --> 04:06:21,100
so stem related careers, trades

5668
04:06:21,100 --> 04:06:23,100
careers, culinary, engineering, design

5669
04:06:23,100 --> 04:06:24,100
and transportation, these are

5670
04:06:24,100 --> 04:06:25,100
important for our young people who may

5671
04:06:25,100 --> 04:06:28,100
not all be focused on this idea of

5672
04:06:28,100 --> 04:06:30,100
going to college.

5673
04:06:31,100 --> 04:06:32,100
where's probation's data?

5674
04:06:32,100 --> 04:06:34,100
another comment that we don't have any

5675
04:06:34,100 --> 04:06:35,100
data, where's our data at.

5676
04:06:35,100 --> 04:06:38,100
our data can be found in several

5677
04:06:38,100 --> 04:06:40,100
websites across the net.

5678
04:06:40,100 --> 04:06:42,100
our probation department website has a

5679
04:06:42,100 --> 04:06:44,100
a data dashboard that has our

5680
04:06:44,100 --> 04:06:46,100
information, our local action plan is

5681
04:06:46,100 --> 04:06:48,100
there, our local action plan is the

5682
04:06:48,100 --> 04:06:50,100
plan that helps determine how we

5683
04:06:50,100 --> 04:06:51,100
utilize services, how the money is

5684
04:06:51,100 --> 04:06:54,100
spent and how we demonstrate our value

5685
04:06:54,100 --> 04:06:56,100
system as a county in terms of what

5686
04:06:56,100 --> 04:06:59,100
our investments are in and/or

5687
04:06:59,100 --> 04:07:00,100
evaluations of our contract to

5688
04:07:00,100 --> 04:07:03,100
providers, so these evaluations are

5689
04:07:03,100 --> 04:07:05,100
done by an outside entity, a third

5690
04:07:05,100 --> 04:07:08,100
party entity who helps support us in

5691
04:07:08,100 --> 04:07:10,100
those annual reports.

5692
04:07:10,100 --> 04:07:13,601
as I mentioned earlier, the bscc,

5693
04:07:14,100 --> 04:07:16,100
there's juvenile hall population date

5694
04:07:16,100 --> 04:07:18,100
that that's based on offense level and

5695
04:07:18,100 --> 04:07:21,100
adjudication as well as those reports

5696
04:07:21,100 --> 04:07:22,100
I mentioned earlier that we have done

5697
04:07:22,100 --> 04:07:25,100
in terms of our inspection.

5698
04:07:26,100 --> 04:07:28,100
two probation officers in california,

5699
04:07:28,100 --> 04:07:32,100
we have a public facing dashboard there

5700
04:07:32,100 --> 04:07:35,100
that has all access to all of our

5701
04:07:35,100 --> 04:07:36,100
information.

5702
04:07:36,100 --> 04:07:39,601
the office of youth and community

5703
04:07:40,100 --> 04:07:42,100
restoration, ofcr, has information

5704
04:07:42,100 --> 04:07:45,100
about our treatment facility and the

5705
04:07:45,100 --> 04:07:47,100
program thereto, we have to submit an

5706
04:07:47,100 --> 04:07:49,100
annual plan to utilize and

5707
04:07:49,100 --> 04:07:52,100
operationalize the funds that come

5708
04:07:52,100 --> 04:07:54,100
from it and san mateo county open data

5709
04:07:54,100 --> 04:07:56,100
is where you can find information

5710
04:07:56,100 --> 04:07:58,100
about our budgets, how we spend our

5711
04:07:58,100 --> 04:08:01,100
money and things of that nature.

5712
04:08:01,100 --> 04:08:02,100
lastly in the space to come, we have a

5713
04:08:02,100 --> 04:08:05,100
few things on the horizon, one, we're

5714
04:08:05,100 --> 04:08:08,601
going to be working collaboratively with

5715
04:08:09,100 --> 04:08:13,100
john fong at child welfare to create a

5716
04:08:13,100 --> 04:08:16,100
program where we can assist them with

5717
04:08:16,100 --> 04:08:18,100
housing funds and funds that they can

5718
04:08:18,100 --> 04:08:20,100
utilize that help support those next

5719
04:08:20,100 --> 04:08:21,100
steps when they leave.

5720
04:08:21,100 --> 04:08:24,100
that program is going to be working

5721
04:08:24,100 --> 04:08:25,100
through the guaranteed income program

5722
04:08:25,100 --> 04:08:29,100
they run so we're going to find a way

5723
04:08:29,100 --> 04:08:30,100
to operationalize money transfer

5724
04:08:30,100 --> 04:08:32,100
between the two if necessary to ensure

5725
04:08:32,100 --> 04:08:35,100
those young people who are qualified

5726
04:08:35,100 --> 04:08:37,100
for it will get access to it.

5727
04:08:37,100 --> 04:08:39,100
secondly, we hope to work with the

5728
04:08:39,100 --> 04:08:42,100
board as well as procurement to look

5729
04:08:42,100 --> 04:08:45,100
at potentially some type of modified

5730
04:08:45,100 --> 04:08:46,100
procurement process for some the

5731
04:08:46,100 --> 04:08:49,100
services we need at the facility.

5732
04:08:49,100 --> 04:08:51,100
that process is difficult and causes a

5733
04:08:51,100 --> 04:08:54,100
lot of consternation with the

5734
04:08:54,100 --> 04:08:56,100
population with the community and is

5735
04:08:56,100 --> 04:08:58,100
creating tension and stress in terms

5736
04:08:58,100 --> 04:09:00,100
of how we operationalize court orders

5737
04:09:00,100 --> 04:09:02,100
to I think there's a need for us to

5738
04:09:02,100 --> 04:09:03,100
look at that.

5739
04:09:03,100 --> 04:09:06,100
also I'm proud to say that we

5740
04:09:06,100 --> 04:09:09,601
acknowledge that we could do better

5741
04:09:11,100 --> 04:09:14,100
with our prea phone system, so I'm in

5742
04:09:14,100 --> 04:09:17,100
decisions with jn fong to see if we

5743
04:09:17,100 --> 04:09:21,100
can utilize an outside service for the

5744
04:09:21,100 --> 04:09:23,100
800 number, it is monitored by our

5745
04:09:23,100 --> 04:09:26,100
staff and we think we can did do

5746
04:09:26,100 --> 04:09:27,100
better with that.

5747
04:09:27,100 --> 04:09:30,100
we will be working to see if have 24

5748
04:09:30,100 --> 04:09:32,100
hour services so we're trying to see

5749
04:09:32,100 --> 04:09:35,100
if there's legal ways we can

5750
04:09:35,100 --> 04:09:37,100
operationalize it through that process.

5751
04:09:37,100 --> 04:09:40,100
lastly, we are going to be doing a 20

5752
04:09:40,100 --> 04:09:43,100
year acknowledgment of the building

5753
04:09:43,100 --> 04:09:46,100
itself, the beginning of the opening

5754
04:09:46,100 --> 04:09:48,100
of the juvenile hall, what I'm going

5755
04:09:48,100 --> 04:09:49,100
to propose to do because a lot of what

5756
04:09:49,100 --> 04:09:52,100
has been said in the public is because

5757
04:09:52,100 --> 04:09:54,100
the public has not had a chance to see

5758
04:09:54,100 --> 04:09:55,100
our hall.

5759
04:09:55,100 --> 04:09:57,100
because of the way things are done,

5760
04:09:57,100 --> 04:09:59,100
it's just difficult for people to

5761
04:09:59,100 --> 04:10:00,100
randomly come and show up and be

5762
04:10:00,100 --> 04:10:01,100
walked around.

5763
04:10:01,100 --> 04:10:04,100
so I'm proposing that we do an open

5764
04:10:04,100 --> 04:10:06,100
house that is commensurate with the 20

5765
04:10:06,100 --> 04:10:08,100
year opening of the facility.

5766
04:10:08,100 --> 04:10:10,100
that way we can invite the public to

5767
04:10:10,100 --> 04:10:13,100
come in and see the facility, go

5768
04:10:13,100 --> 04:10:14,100
through the process, go through those

5769
04:10:14,100 --> 04:10:17,100
things so they can see themselves.

5770
04:10:17,100 --> 04:10:19,100
the reality is I know no young person

5771
04:10:19,100 --> 04:10:21,100
wants to be in the facility.

5772
04:10:21,100 --> 04:10:23,100
we don't kid ourselves into thinking

5773
04:10:23,100 --> 04:10:25,100
that's the case, but I'm proud of the

5774
04:10:25,100 --> 04:10:28,100
work we do, the way we do it and how

5775
04:10:28,100 --> 04:10:30,100
we approach trying to be thought

5776
04:10:30,100 --> 04:10:32,100
partners and advocates for youth as

5777
04:10:32,100 --> 04:10:34,100
we are.

5778
04:10:34,100 --> 04:10:35,100
our advocacy looks different from

5779
04:10:35,100 --> 04:10:38,100
others but we are advocates

5780
04:10:38,100 --> 04:10:39,100
nonetheless.

5781
04:10:39,100 --> 04:10:40,100
I will cede the rest of my time.

5782
04:10:40,100 --> 04:10:43,100
I have one last slide I hope to get

5783
04:10:43,100 --> 04:10:45,100
back to later, I can cede my time.

5784
04:10:45,100 --> 04:10:47,100
we are fortunate to have partners

5785
04:10:47,100 --> 04:10:49,100
here today that help us do the work

5786
04:10:49,100 --> 04:10:51,100
and we have some of our partner from

5787
04:10:51,100 --> 04:10:53,100
correctional health and behavioral

5788
04:10:53,100 --> 04:10:55,100
health, I'm not sure who wants to go

5789
04:10:55,100 --> 04:10:56,100
first.

5790
04:10:56,100 --> 04:10:59,100
dr. Africa is going to come up and

5791
04:10:59,100 --> 04:11:00,100
present.

5792
04:11:00,100 --> 04:11:01,100
>> thank you, chief keene, and I'll

5793
04:11:01,100 --> 04:11:04,100
just briefly say that I love the idea

5794
04:11:04,100 --> 04:11:08,801
of an open house and one of my

5795
04:11:09,100 --> 04:11:11,100
favorite murals wasn't pictured, it's

5796
04:11:11,100 --> 04:11:14,100
one with a lot of humming birds and

5797
04:11:14,100 --> 04:11:18,100
it's one of the newest ones and it's

5798
04:11:18,100 --> 04:11:19,100
beautiful.

5799
04:11:19,100 --> 04:11:20,100
so, I welcome dr. Africa and then I

5800
04:11:20,100 --> 04:11:24,201
think we have michael and hector and

5801
04:11:27,100 --> 04:11:28,100
derga next.

5802
04:11:28,100 --> 04:11:30,100
>> good afternoon, again, board of

5803
04:11:30,100 --> 04:11:33,100
supervisor, I'm here with my

5804
04:11:34,100 --> 04:11:36,100
colleague, mike who, is the director

5805
04:11:36,100 --> 04:11:38,100
of health services, we'll take a few

5806
04:11:38,100 --> 04:11:41,100
minutes to talk about behavioral

5807
04:11:44,100 --> 04:11:45,100
health services at the ysc and also

5808
04:11:45,100 --> 04:11:46,100
correctional health services.

5809
04:11:46,100 --> 04:11:49,100
so, before I go, I want to just

5810
04:11:49,100 --> 04:11:51,100
acknowledge that picture that you see

5811
04:11:51,100 --> 04:11:55,100
there is the adjacent land of the

5812
04:11:55,100 --> 04:11:56,100
phoenix garden which I will be talking

5813
04:11:56,100 --> 04:11:58,100
about in a little bit.

5814
04:11:58,100 --> 04:12:01,100
we have been really grateful to have

5815
04:12:01,100 --> 04:12:03,100
the opportunity to provide support to

5816
04:12:03,100 --> 04:12:04,100
young people.

5817
04:12:04,100 --> 04:12:08,100
I will talk about the mental health

5818
04:12:08,100 --> 04:12:10,100
services, substance use services, in

5819
04:12:10,100 --> 04:12:13,100
terms of our clients, as chief keene

5820
04:12:13,100 --> 04:12:16,100
said, the clients over the years have

5821
04:12:16,100 --> 04:12:17,100
decreased.

5822
04:12:17,100 --> 04:12:18,100
the young people in custody, so you

5823
04:12:18,100 --> 04:12:22,100
can see on the top left, we're about

5824
04:12:22,100 --> 04:12:24,401
2018 to 2019, we were seeing

5825
04:12:26,100 --> 04:12:28,100
unduplicated about over 300 youth and

5826
04:12:28,100 --> 04:12:31,100
now we're probably seeing half of that.

5827
04:12:31,100 --> 04:12:35,100
we have 9 staff that provide a variety

5828
04:12:35,100 --> 04:12:38,100
of services for youth who are in

5829
04:12:38,100 --> 04:12:39,100
custody.

5830
04:12:39,100 --> 04:12:40,100
we have therapists, we have case

5831
04:12:40,100 --> 04:12:42,401
managers, we have psychologists,

5832
04:12:43,100 --> 04:12:46,100
psychiatrists just in case they need

5833
04:12:46,100 --> 04:12:49,601
medication support and also peer and

5834
04:12:50,100 --> 04:12:52,100
is family partners who have lived

5835
04:12:52,100 --> 04:12:53,100
experience navigating the system.

5836
04:12:53,100 --> 04:12:55,100
in the bottom part, I wanted to give

5837
04:12:55,100 --> 04:13:00,100
you a sense of how engaged we are with

5838
04:13:00,100 --> 04:13:02,100
the young people, so in the data, we

5839
04:13:02,100 --> 04:13:05,100
divided it into three sections.

5840
04:13:05,100 --> 04:13:08,100
one, we called it the general

5841
04:13:08,100 --> 04:13:10,100
population, so we don't know how long

5842
04:13:10,100 --> 04:13:14,100
the young people will be there but we

5843
04:13:14,100 --> 04:13:18,100
average about 29 days of service, if they

5844
04:13:18,100 --> 04:13:20,100
leave earlier, we won't have that much

5845
04:13:20,100 --> 04:13:21,100
time.

5846
04:13:21,100 --> 04:13:24,100
in terms of community based services,

5847
04:13:24,100 --> 04:13:27,100
when a young person leaves the ysc, we

5848
04:13:27,100 --> 04:13:29,100
still are able to provide community

5849
04:13:29,100 --> 04:13:32,100
based services to them because

5850
04:13:32,100 --> 04:13:34,100
sometimes they need additional support

5851
04:13:34,100 --> 04:13:35,100
as they transition back to the

5852
04:13:35,100 --> 04:13:36,100
community.

5853
04:13:36,100 --> 04:13:39,100
and in the third kinds of supports

5854
04:13:39,100 --> 04:13:43,801
that we have is we connect a therapist

5855
04:13:44,100 --> 04:13:47,100
individually case by case with a youth

5856
04:13:47,100 --> 04:13:50,100
in custody, also when they leave, so

5857
04:13:50,100 --> 04:13:52,100
chief keene talked about the soarr

5858
04:13:52,100 --> 04:13:55,100
program, in our engagement with that

5859
04:13:55,100 --> 04:13:57,100
young person until about 25 is up to

5860
04:13:57,100 --> 04:13:59,100
about one year.

5861
04:13:59,100 --> 04:14:01,100
so, again, our efforts is to engage

5862
04:14:01,100 --> 04:14:03,100
them, continue working with them so

5863
04:14:03,100 --> 04:14:06,100
that they continue to succeed being in

5864
04:14:06,100 --> 04:14:09,601
the community or exceed in their

5865
04:14:10,100 --> 04:14:11,100
rehabilitation.

5866
04:14:11,100 --> 04:14:13,100
so, again, our services are anchored

5867
04:14:13,100 --> 04:14:16,601
in trauma or trauma informed and

5868
04:14:17,100 --> 04:14:18,100
culturally responsive services, not

5869
04:14:18,100 --> 04:14:20,100
just in terms of language but really

5870
04:14:20,100 --> 04:14:23,100
understanding the cultures and the

5871
04:14:23,100 --> 04:14:24,100
environment that our young people have

5872
04:14:24,100 --> 04:14:26,100
grown up with.

5873
04:14:26,100 --> 04:14:29,100
we use evidence based practices,

5874
04:14:29,100 --> 04:14:31,100
cognitive behavioral therapy helps

5875
04:14:31,100 --> 04:14:34,100
change people's perceptions and their

5876
04:14:36,100 --> 04:14:37,100
thinking.

5877
04:14:37,100 --> 04:14:38,100
behavioral therapy giving them a sense

5878
04:14:38,100 --> 04:14:39,100
of self-regulation.

5879
04:14:39,100 --> 04:14:41,100
many of these people have a lot of

5880
04:14:41,100 --> 04:14:43,100
trauma and have a lot of chaos in

5881
04:14:43,100 --> 04:14:45,100
their lives, so we try very hard.

5882
04:14:45,100 --> 04:14:47,100
while we are working with them to try

5883
04:14:47,100 --> 04:14:51,100
to give them sort of a sense of skills

5884
04:14:51,100 --> 04:14:53,100
and opportunity to think about the

5885
04:14:53,100 --> 04:14:56,100
things that they have experienced.

5886
04:15:00,100 --> 04:15:02,100
our work needs to be coordinated with

5887
04:15:02,100 --> 04:15:05,100
many efforts, you see our colleagues

5888
04:15:05,100 --> 04:15:08,601
from probation but also our community

5889
04:15:09,100 --> 04:15:10,100
partners.

5890
04:15:10,100 --> 04:15:13,100
I have to say once a probation staff

5891
04:15:13,100 --> 04:15:15,100
refers entry to behavioral health is a

5892
04:15:15,100 --> 04:15:18,100
referral from our custody or probation

5893
04:15:18,100 --> 04:15:22,100
staff, so once our po's refer a young

5894
04:15:22,100 --> 04:15:25,100
person, we do an intake, we do a

5895
04:15:25,100 --> 04:15:26,100
screening, we try to understand

5896
04:15:26,100 --> 04:15:28,100
what their perspective is, what their

5897
04:15:28,100 --> 04:15:31,100
experience is, what their need is and

5898
04:15:31,100 --> 04:15:33,100
based from that, we spend time kind of

5899
04:15:33,100 --> 04:15:36,100
linking them to ss services.

5900
04:15:36,100 --> 04:15:39,100
we provide individual therapy, group

5901
04:15:39,100 --> 04:15:41,100
therapy, family therapy, we invite

5902
04:15:41,100 --> 04:15:43,100
their parents or their caregivers to

5903
04:15:43,100 --> 04:15:45,100
participate in some of the sessions

5904
04:15:45,100 --> 04:15:47,100
because we know their caregivers are

5905
04:15:47,100 --> 04:15:49,100
also part of their recovery.

5906
04:15:49,100 --> 04:15:52,100
we do a lot of care coordination, we

5907
04:15:52,100 --> 04:15:54,100
provide 24/7 crisis support.

5908
04:15:55,100 --> 04:15:58,100
we -- when it's needed, we provide

5909
04:15:58,100 --> 04:16:01,100
medication management and then also in

5910
04:16:01,100 --> 04:16:05,100
certain cases when it's needed, we do

5911
04:16:05,100 --> 04:16:07,100
psychological assessments, you know,

5912
04:16:07,100 --> 04:16:10,100
if they need higher level of service,

5913
04:16:10,100 --> 04:16:13,100
if we try to understand their thinking

5914
04:16:13,100 --> 04:16:16,100
or their personality, we do cognitive

5915
04:16:16,100 --> 04:16:18,100
testing or personality destining in

5916
04:16:18,100 --> 04:16:21,100
augmentation through the therapy they

5917
04:16:21,100 --> 04:16:23,100
receive.

5918
04:16:25,100 --> 04:16:27,100
last one, the phoenix garden is the

5919
04:16:27,100 --> 04:16:30,100
six acre land adjacent to ysc, instead

5920
04:16:30,100 --> 04:16:33,100
of seeing that as being connected to

5921
04:16:33,100 --> 04:16:35,100
nature, we use it as an opportunity to

5922
04:16:35,100 --> 04:16:36,100
provide healing and connection with

5923
04:16:36,100 --> 04:16:38,100
the community with young people who

5924
04:16:38,100 --> 04:16:41,100
are attached to the ysc to kind of be

5925
04:16:41,100 --> 04:16:43,100
around nature and talk to other

5926
04:16:43,100 --> 04:16:45,100
folks, other community members so as

5927
04:16:45,100 --> 04:16:47,100
part of their entry to community and

5928
04:16:47,100 --> 04:16:49,100
I'll just say that's one of the

5929
04:16:49,100 --> 04:16:52,100
features that one of our people love.

5930
04:16:52,100 --> 04:16:54,100
many of them are not connected to

5931
04:16:54,100 --> 04:16:55,100
nature.

5932
04:16:55,100 --> 04:16:57,100
many of them don't understand food

5933
04:16:57,100 --> 04:17:00,100
production or bee keeping or

5934
04:17:01,100 --> 04:17:03,100
horticulture and hopefully that can

5935
04:17:03,100 --> 04:17:05,100
change or impact their lives, not

5936
04:17:05,100 --> 04:17:07,100
focusing on their crime or being in

5937
04:17:07,100 --> 04:17:08,100
custody but out in the community and

5938
04:17:08,100 --> 04:17:11,100
again one of the things we are working

5939
04:17:11,100 --> 04:17:14,100
that's new due to calaim is real will

5940
04:17:14,100 --> 04:17:17,601
you a much stronger relationship in

5941
04:17:18,100 --> 04:17:19,100
helping young people in custody and

5942
04:17:19,100 --> 04:17:22,100
then when they go out as they

5943
04:17:22,100 --> 04:17:24,100
transition back to the community, they

5944
04:17:24,100 --> 04:17:26,100
link them to appropriate services.

5945
04:17:26,100 --> 04:17:29,100
so, we are also doing that in the

5946
04:17:29,100 --> 04:17:32,100
adult side at mcguire and the jail,

5947
04:17:32,100 --> 04:17:34,100
we're trying to do that more in

5948
04:17:34,100 --> 04:17:37,100
probation, so again, we really operate

5949
04:17:37,100 --> 04:17:39,100
in partnership with chief keene and

5950
04:17:39,100 --> 04:17:43,100
his staff and are grateful to provide

5951
04:17:43,100 --> 04:17:45,100
these services for young people to

5952
04:17:45,100 --> 04:17:48,100
heal and continued on to their

5953
04:17:48,100 --> 04:17:49,100
recovery.

5954
04:17:49,100 --> 04:17:51,100
now I'm going to turn it over to mike

5955
04:17:51,100 --> 04:17:52,100
to talk about medical services.

5956
04:17:52,100 --> 04:17:54,100

5957
04:17:56,100 --> 04:17:58,401

5961

medical health services.

5962
04:18:11,100 --> 04:18:13,100
medical care start from the time the

5963
04:18:13,100 --> 04:18:16,100
youth enters our facility, we address

5964
04:18:16,100 --> 04:18:18,100
whatever medical conditions or health

5965
04:18:18,100 --> 04:18:21,100
care needs they have and initial

5966
04:18:21,100 --> 04:18:23,100
screening is done as soon as they come

5967
04:18:23,100 --> 04:18:24,100
in.

5968
04:18:24,100 --> 04:18:25,100
our partners in probation will do an

5969
04:18:25,100 --> 04:18:28,100
initial screening and then our

5970
04:18:28,100 --> 04:18:30,100
registered nurses will do a complete

5971
04:18:30,100 --> 04:18:33,100
medical screening as soon as possible.

5972
04:18:33,100 --> 04:18:36,100
during that time, acute and chronic

5973
04:18:36,100 --> 04:18:39,100
illnesses are identified, we look at

5974
04:18:39,100 --> 04:18:41,100
for any communicable diseases, if they

5975
04:18:41,100 --> 04:18:42,100
have substance abuse history, you

5976
04:18:42,100 --> 04:18:44,100
know, we want to make sure those are a

5977
04:18:44,100 --> 04:18:48,100
I dressed early on and we do an

5978
04:18:48,100 --> 04:18:49,100
initial mental health assessment, we

5979
04:18:49,100 --> 04:18:52,100
do 96 hours of coming into our

5980
04:18:52,100 --> 04:18:55,100

hearing sense.

5984
04:19:05,100 --> 04:19:07,100
the probation staff, I just want to

5985
04:19:07,100 --> 04:19:09,100
highlight, really placed an important

5986
04:19:09,100 --> 04:19:11,100
role in early identification of a

5987
04:19:11,100 --> 04:19:13,100
patient's mental health condition,

5988
04:19:13,100 --> 04:19:15,100
they will alert if they see any

5989
04:19:15,100 --> 04:19:16,100
abnormal conditions.

5990
04:19:16,100 --> 04:19:19,100
all youth are seen by our nurse

5991
04:19:19,100 --> 04:19:21,100

our calls are conducted daily by

5994
04:19:26,100 --> 04:19:29,100
registered nurses for any medical

5995
04:19:29,100 --> 04:19:31,100
requests the youth might request.

5996
04:19:31,100 --> 04:19:33,100
if any after hours support is needed,

5997
04:19:33,100 --> 04:19:36,100
we utilize the san mateo medical

5998
04:19:36,100 --> 04:19:39,601

5999
04:19:42,100 --> 04:19:44,100
medical condition, our nurse

practitioners will address any acute

6001
04:19:48,100 --> 04:19:50,100
or chronic conditions.

6002
04:19:51,100 --> 04:19:52,100
specialty care services are offered

6003
04:19:52,100 --> 04:19:56,100
for all our youth, if they require

6004
04:19:56,100 --> 04:19:58,100
more specialized services, we utilize

6005
04:19:58,100 --> 04:20:01,601

6006
04:20:02,100 --> 04:20:05,601
clinics for any in-person visits or

6007
04:20:08,100 --> 04:20:11,100
telehealth consultations, and if they

6008
04:20:12,100 --> 04:20:13,100
need any surrounding hospitals, the if

6009
04:20:13,100 --> 04:20:15,100
they need those services, we will

6010
04:20:15,100 --> 04:20:16,100
refer them to those places.

6011
04:20:16,100 --> 04:20:19,100
if a youth comes in and they need to

6012
04:20:19,100 --> 04:20:22,100
have their braces managed, an

6013
04:20:23,100 --> 04:20:26,601
orthodontic referral will also be made.

6014
04:20:27,100 --> 04:20:30,100
our optometrist services, we will

6015
04:20:30,100 --> 04:20:32,100
refer them to san mateo medical

04:28:20,100 --> 04:28:23,100
all meals are prepared to meet the

6200
04:28:23,100 --> 04:28:26,100
nutritional dietary needs of the youth

6201
04:28:26,100 --> 04:28:27,100
while maintainers required food

6202
04:28:27,100 --> 04:28:28,100
service standards.

6203
04:28:28,100 --> 04:28:31,100
in addition to required dealings,

6204
04:28:32,100 --> 04:28:35,100
youth receive three snacks each day.

6205
04:28:35,100 --> 04:28:36,100
snacks provide an additional

6206
04:28:36,100 --> 04:28:38,401
opportunity to support daily

6207
04:28:39,100 --> 04:28:41,100
nutritional and calorie needs.

6208
04:28:41,100 --> 04:28:44,100
snack offerings are incorporated into

6209
04:28:44,100 --> 04:28:46,100
the overall plan.

6210
04:28:49,100 --> 04:28:52,100
>> I'm a dietitian with correctional

6211
04:28:53,100 --> 04:28:56,100
health services, I've been with the

6212
04:28:56,100 --> 04:29:00,100
county the for many years, I serve the

6213
04:29:00,100 --> 04:29:03,601
youth, I've been there hillcrest so

6214
04:29:04,100 --> 04:29:07,100
I'm proud of the food services program.

6215
04:29:07,100 --> 04:29:09,100
I believe there's always room for

6216
04:29:09,100 --> 04:29:10,100
improvement.

6217
04:29:10,100 --> 04:29:14,801
from my perspective, my job is to do

6218
04:29:15,100 --> 04:29:18,100
nutrition assessments, I calculate the

6219
04:29:18,100 --> 04:29:19,100
person's needs and compare it to

6220
04:29:19,100 --> 04:29:20,100
intake and the food offered for them.

6221
04:29:20,100 --> 04:29:24,100
what I do is identify problems, I look

6222
04:29:24,100 --> 04:29:27,100
at the ideologies and then I look at

6223
04:29:27,100 --> 04:29:30,100
the data to support that and provide a

6224
04:29:30,100 --> 04:29:33,100
service to make sure the food or the

6225
04:29:33,100 --> 04:29:36,100
diet order is mainly according to what

6226
04:29:36,100 --> 04:29:40,100
the kid can tolerate, the youth can

6227
04:29:40,100 --> 04:29:41,100
tolerate.

6228
04:29:41,100 --> 04:29:43,100
sorry.

6229
04:29:44,100 --> 04:29:47,601
currently we have 26 youth in our

6230
04:29:50,100 --> 04:29:54,100
care, 23 are on the diet list, 19 of

6231
04:29:54,100 --> 04:29:58,100
those 23 are on double trays and 15 of

6232
04:29:58,100 --> 04:30:01,100
those 19 ask for extra eggs, some of

6233
04:30:01,100 --> 04:30:04,100
them have wanted up to 12.

6234
04:30:04,100 --> 04:30:05,100
the nutrition requirements for this

6235
04:30:05,100 --> 04:30:09,100
age group at the highest level is

6236
04:30:09,100 --> 04:30:11,401
about 2800 to 3 thousand calories,

6237
04:30:12,100 --> 04:30:14,100
currently they're provided probably

6238
04:30:14,100 --> 04:30:16,100
about 6500 calories a day and

6239
04:30:16,100 --> 04:30:18,100
probably 24 ounces of protein.

6240
04:30:18,100 --> 04:30:21,601
as a dietitian, I framework my

6241
04:30:22,100 --> 04:30:25,100
assessments around a problem ideology

6242
04:30:27,100 --> 04:30:28,100
and signs and symptoms.

6243
04:30:28,100 --> 04:30:31,601
I feel with this particular group,

6244
04:30:33,100 --> 04:30:35,100
teens in general, young adults have

6245
04:30:35,100 --> 04:30:37,100
strong preferences about food and also

6246
04:30:37,100 --> 04:30:40,100
we have a domain that we use to

6247
04:30:40,100 --> 04:30:41,100
categorize a problem.

6248
04:30:41,100 --> 04:30:45,100
and one of them is knowledge and

6249
04:30:45,100 --> 04:30:48,100
beliefs and attitudes about food.

6250
04:30:48,100 --> 04:30:51,100
so, in the contributing factor are

6251
04:30:51,100 --> 04:30:52,100
their age and what they have looked up

6252
04:30:52,100 --> 04:30:54,100
on the internet.

6253
04:30:54,100 --> 04:30:56,100
they're protein-driven, so based on

6254
04:30:56,100 --> 04:30:58,100
how many calories we give them, they

6255
04:30:58,100 --> 04:31:01,100
have gained weight but it's not that

6256
04:31:01,100 --> 04:31:03,100
great, it's because they have -- they

6257
04:31:03,100 --> 04:31:06,100
tend to gravitate to the proteins.

6258
04:31:06,100 --> 04:31:09,100
they think the food service department

6259
04:31:09,100 --> 04:31:12,100
has been doing the best they can.

6260
04:31:12,100 --> 04:31:14,100
they have been going over and above,

6261
04:31:14,100 --> 04:31:16,100
they don't ever complain about any of

6262
04:31:16,100 --> 04:31:17,100
the double trays.

6263
04:31:17,100 --> 04:31:20,601
they also get snacks in addition.

6264
04:31:21,100 --> 04:31:24,100
I don't have the diet list, without

6265
04:31:24,100 --> 04:31:27,100
the names, so you could see how vast

6266
04:31:27,100 --> 04:31:29,100
this is.

6267
04:31:30,100 --> 04:31:33,100
I think the issue could be the

6268
04:31:33,100 --> 04:31:35,100
delivery, maybe those kind of changes

6269
04:31:35,100 --> 04:31:37,100
but I'm not involved with that but I

6270
04:31:37,100 --> 04:31:39,100
know they're doing the best they can.

6271
04:31:39,100 --> 04:31:40,100
that's all I have.

6272
04:31:40,100 --> 04:31:42,100
any questions?

6273
04:31:49,100 --> 04:31:51,100
>> thank you, supervisors.

6274
04:31:52,100 --> 04:31:54,401
>> okay, wait, one second.

6275
04:31:56,100 --> 04:31:58,100
they won't brag about theses but they

6276
04:31:58,100 --> 04:32:01,100
make the best cookies ever, so my

6277
04:32:01,100 --> 04:32:03,100
team's going to hand out some of their

6278
04:32:03,100 --> 04:32:05,401
cookies, whoever wanted left

6279
04:32:06,100 --> 04:32:07,100
overcooked, grab it now or they're

6280
04:32:07,100 --> 04:32:08,100
going to be gone.

6281
04:32:08,100 --> 04:32:11,100
go ahead, share the cookies.

6282
04:32:11,100 --> 04:32:12,100
>> thank you, supervisor.

6283
04:32:12,100 --> 04:32:16,801
>> and some of us had lunch that they

6284
04:32:18,100 --> 04:32:21,100
prepared and that the youth eat as

6285
04:32:21,100 --> 04:32:22,100
well and I enjoyed it personally.

6286
04:32:22,100 --> 04:32:24,100
I think most of us had the lunch.

6287
04:32:24,100 --> 04:32:26,100
>> can I say one thing to you?

6288
04:32:26,100 --> 04:32:27,100
>> yes.

6289
04:32:27,100 --> 04:32:30,100
>> back when I was looking at the

6290
04:32:30,100 --> 04:32:31,100
report, the 23-24, I want to point out

6291
04:32:31,100 --> 04:32:34,100
that the school lunch program is very,

6292
04:32:34,100 --> 04:32:36,100
very strict with their nutrition

6293
04:32:36,100 --> 04:32:39,100
requirements and for protein, it's

6294
04:32:39,100 --> 04:32:41,100
only two ounces per meal for that

6295
04:32:41,100 --> 04:32:43,100
group for high school kids.

6296
04:32:43,100 --> 04:32:46,100
two ounces, picture a mcdonalds

6297
04:32:49,100 --> 04:32:51,100
hamburger with the two ounces of

6298
04:32:51,100 --> 04:32:55,801
grain, add to it one cup of vegetable

6299
04:32:56,100 --> 04:32:58,100
and part of that was the restrictions.

6300
04:32:58,100 --> 04:33:01,100
>> through the chair, can I just say

6301
04:33:01,100 --> 04:33:02,100
that I recently had an opportunity to

6302
04:33:02,100 --> 04:33:04,100
tour the facility and I saw firsthand

6303
04:33:04,100 --> 04:33:07,100
the great work that you are doing over

6304
04:33:07,100 --> 04:33:10,100
there, that is a huge kitchen, you're

6305
04:33:10,100 --> 04:33:12,100
preparing many meals throughout the

6306
04:33:12,100 --> 04:33:14,100
day and, again, we had food today that

6307
04:33:14,100 --> 04:33:16,100
you prepared and I just appreciate

6308
04:33:16,100 --> 04:33:17,100
everything you do.

6309
04:33:17,100 --> 04:33:19,100
it gave me a better insight as to

6310
04:33:19,100 --> 04:33:21,100
what's being provided to everyone

6311
04:33:21,100 --> 04:33:22,100
within the system.

6312
04:33:22,100 --> 04:33:23,100
so, again, thank you for your work.

6313
04:33:23,100 --> 04:33:25,100
>> thank you.

6314
04:33:26,100 --> 04:33:28,100
>> go ahead, supervisor speier?

6315
04:33:28,100 --> 04:33:31,100
>> leave it to food to get our attention,

6316
04:33:31,100 --> 04:33:32,100
right.

6317
04:33:32,100 --> 04:33:36,100
I will tell you that in my visit last

6318
04:33:36,100 --> 04:33:40,801
night, food came up and they had some

6319
04:33:42,100 --> 04:33:43,100
complimentary words, they said the

6320
04:33:43,100 --> 04:33:45,100
food is a lot better now than it used

6321
04:33:45,100 --> 04:33:46,100
to be.

6322
04:33:46,100 --> 04:33:47,100
kudos to you for that.

6323
04:33:47,100 --> 04:33:49,100
they do want more salt and pepper and

6324
04:33:49,100 --> 04:33:52,100
spice and I know the school lunch

6325
04:33:52,100 --> 04:33:54,100
program doesn't allow that, and I

6326
04:33:54,100 --> 04:33:56,100
don't know if the dietitian can help

6327
04:33:56,100 --> 04:33:59,100
us with that, I think the blandness

6328
04:33:59,100 --> 04:34:02,100
bothers them a little bit, if we can

6329
04:34:02,100 --> 04:34:06,100
somehow slip them some patsies of salt

6330
04:34:06,100 --> 04:34:07,100
and pepper, that might be nice.

6331
04:34:07,100 --> 04:34:09,100
>> thank you.

6332
04:34:09,100 --> 04:34:12,100
>> I would just like to state that a couple

6333
04:34:12,100 --> 04:34:16,801
of months ago, we had a sorbet of

6334
04:34:17,100 --> 04:34:19,100
how the food has been going on, and

6335
04:34:19,100 --> 04:34:22,100
I'm happy to say we have a copy of it,

6336
04:34:22,100 --> 04:34:24,100
how the food has been improved.

6337
04:34:24,100 --> 04:34:27,601
we have worked tirelessly to reinvent,

6338
04:34:28,100 --> 04:34:31,100
not make some different reinvent the

6339
04:34:31,100 --> 04:34:33,100
wheel, how can we use the spices to

6340
04:34:33,100 --> 04:34:35,100
generate the flavors and I think so

6341
04:34:35,100 --> 04:34:37,100
far for these comments, we are proud

6342
04:34:37,100 --> 04:34:39,100
we have and we are committed and

6343
04:34:39,100 --> 04:34:42,100
willing to, anything we can do for it,

6344
04:34:42,100 --> 04:34:45,100
food is my passion and I love to do

6345
04:34:45,100 --> 04:34:48,100
it, so it doesn't matter to me who is

6346
04:34:48,100 --> 04:34:50,100
the end, but food is important to us

6347
04:34:50,100 --> 04:34:53,100
so, we're committed to doing that and

6348
04:34:53,100 --> 04:34:54,100
if we hear anything to be changing,

6349
04:34:54,100 --> 04:34:57,100
we're happy to do it.

6350
04:34:57,100 --> 04:34:59,100
hopefully we can get the program we

6351
04:34:59,100 --> 04:35:02,100
had in inglewood where the kids were

6352
04:35:02,100 --> 04:35:05,100
preparing the food, as a food service

6353
04:35:05,100 --> 04:35:08,100
worker, I would love to go back and

6354
04:35:08,100 --> 04:35:12,100
reinvent that, for me, it was very

6355
04:35:12,100 --> 04:35:14,100
important, very successful and

6356
04:35:14,100 --> 04:35:16,100
satisfying for me, if we can bring

6357
04:35:16,100 --> 04:35:18,100
that again, I will do it on my day off

6358
04:35:18,100 --> 04:35:20,100
or whenever it has to be, there's no

6359
04:35:20,100 --> 04:35:21,100
issue at all.

6360
04:35:21,100 --> 04:35:23,100
>> if they're anything like my

6361
04:35:23,100 --> 04:35:25,100
teenager, they will think they can

6362
04:35:25,100 --> 04:35:28,100
cook better than you so I'm sure

6363
04:35:28,100 --> 04:35:29,100
you're open to the challenge.

6364
04:35:29,100 --> 04:35:30,100
>> I love the challenge.

6365
04:35:30,100 --> 04:35:32,401
>> thank you so much.

6366
04:35:34,100 --> 04:35:37,100
I lost my -- is this mine, okay, thank

6367
04:35:37,100 --> 04:35:38,100
you.

6368
04:35:38,100 --> 04:35:39,100
okay.

6369
04:35:39,100 --> 04:35:43,100
we will now move on to -- of course,

6370
04:35:43,100 --> 04:35:46,100
why don't we pause far second, chief

6371
04:35:46,100 --> 04:35:48,100
keene, I think you had one last slide

6372
04:35:48,100 --> 04:35:51,100
you wanted to wrap up.

6373
04:35:51,100 --> 04:35:52,100
>> [inaudible]

6374
04:35:52,100 --> 04:35:56,100
>> did we have any questions for the

6375
04:35:56,100 --> 04:35:59,100
bulk of -- no, no questions for chief

6376
04:35:59,100 --> 04:36:00,100
keene yet, we'll wait until the end.

6377
04:36:00,100 --> 04:36:02,100
okay, perfect.

6378
04:36:02,100 --> 04:36:05,100
I would now like to welcome deputy

6379
04:36:05,100 --> 04:36:07,100
district attorney nadia hanh.

6380
04:36:07,100 --> 04:36:11,100
and I want to acknowledge that our

6381
04:36:11,100 --> 04:36:14,601
district attorney steve wag staff is

6382
04:36:15,100 --> 04:36:16,100
here as well.

6383
04:36:16,100 --> 04:36:18,100
welcome, nadia.

6384
04:36:19,100 --> 04:36:22,100
>> I can't believe I have to follow

6385
04:36:22,100 --> 04:36:23,100
fresh baked cookies.

6386
04:36:23,100 --> 04:36:27,801
my name is nadia hanh, I'm with the

6387
04:36:28,100 --> 04:36:30,100
da's office, thank you to the

6388
04:36:30,100 --> 04:36:31,100
supervisors for the invitation to

6389
04:36:31,100 --> 04:36:34,100
speak with you about the da's role in

6390
04:36:34,100 --> 04:36:36,401
the juvenile justice system.

6391
04:36:37,100 --> 04:36:40,100
the purpose of the juvenile justice

6392
04:36:40,100 --> 04:36:42,100
system as whole is to provide for the

6393
04:36:42,100 --> 04:36:44,100
protection and safety of the public

6394
04:36:44,100 --> 04:36:46,100
and each minor under the jurisdiction

6395
04:36:46,100 --> 04:36:48,100
of the juvenile court and to preserve

6396
04:36:48,100 --> 04:36:51,100
and strengthen the minor's family ties

6397
04:36:51,100 --> 04:36:52,100
whenever possible.

6398
04:36:52,100 --> 04:36:55,100
that's codified in welfare and

6399
04:36:55,100 --> 04:36:58,100
institution code, code 202, it goes on

6400
04:36:58,100 --> 04:37:00,100
to lay out the sort of guiding

6401
04:37:00,100 --> 04:37:03,601
principles that the da's office uses

6402
04:37:07,100 --> 04:37:08,100
in all of our deliberations.

6403
04:37:08,100 --> 04:37:09,100
agencies charged with enforcing and

6404
04:37:09,100 --> 04:37:10,100
administering juvenile law are

6405
04:37:10,100 --> 04:37:11,100
mandated to weigh the following

6406
04:37:11,100 --> 04:37:12,100
consideration, safety and protection

6407
04:37:12,100 --> 04:37:15,601
of the public, the importance of

6408
04:37:16,100 --> 04:37:18,100
redressing injuries to victims and

6409
04:37:18,100 --> 04:37:19,100
the best interest of the minor who

6410
04:37:19,100 --> 04:37:23,201
is the subject of the juvenile court

6411
04:37:25,100 --> 04:37:26,100
matter.

6412
04:37:26,100 --> 04:37:28,100
the juvenile division serves a

6413
04:37:28,100 --> 04:37:29,100
number of different functions, we're

6414
04:37:29,100 --> 04:37:31,100
involved in the actual court process

6415
04:37:31,100 --> 04:37:35,100
from the filing of a case through

6416
04:37:35,100 --> 04:37:37,100
disposition but the one that's most

6417
04:37:37,100 --> 04:37:39,100
relevant to today's study session is

6418
04:37:39,100 --> 04:37:41,100
probably the review and charging of

6419
04:37:41,100 --> 04:37:44,100
cases, so that will be my focus today.

6420
04:37:44,100 --> 04:37:46,100
it's the prosecutor's decision to file

6421
04:37:46,100 --> 04:37:49,601
a petition that initiates the court

6422
04:37:50,100 --> 04:37:52,100
process.

6423
04:37:53,100 --> 04:37:55,100
chief keene did touch on this and I

6424
04:37:55,100 --> 04:37:57,100
think it's important to understand

6425
04:37:57,100 --> 04:37:59,100
that just because an offense is

6426
04:37:59,100 --> 04:38:01,100
committed in the community by a minor

6427
04:38:01,100 --> 04:38:03,100
does not mean that that case is going

6428
04:38:03,100 --> 04:38:06,100
to end up in juvenile court.

6429
04:38:06,100 --> 04:38:08,100
there are a number of levels of review

6430
04:38:08,100 --> 04:38:10,100
that occur before a case reaches my

6431
04:38:10,100 --> 04:38:11,100
office.

6432
04:38:11,100 --> 04:38:13,100
the first starts with the law enforcement

6433
04:38:13,100 --> 04:38:16,100
agency who took the case.

6434
04:38:16,100 --> 04:38:17,100
the agency has several options for

6435
04:38:17,100 --> 04:38:19,100
what to do next.

6436
04:38:19,100 --> 04:38:22,601
they can determine whether any further

6437
04:38:25,100 --> 04:38:26,100
action is needed and it's frequently

6438
04:38:26,100 --> 04:38:29,601
the case the youth's school, family,

6439
04:38:30,100 --> 04:38:32,100
community can provide adequate support

6440
04:38:32,100 --> 04:38:34,100
and guidance for that youth and the

6441
04:38:34,100 --> 04:38:37,100
case needs to go no further.

6442
04:38:37,100 --> 04:38:40,100
they can refer the minor through

6443
04:38:40,100 --> 04:38:41,100
services through a communities based

6444
04:38:41,100 --> 04:38:44,100
organization on a voluntary basis,

6445
04:38:45,100 --> 04:38:47,100
chief keene did talk about the

6446
04:38:47,100 --> 04:38:50,100
diversion programs that our law

6447
04:38:50,100 --> 04:38:51,100
enforcement agencies and schools have

6448
04:38:51,100 --> 04:38:53,100
created that are in-house programs but

6449
04:38:53,100 --> 04:38:55,100
if none of these options are deemed

6450
04:38:55,100 --> 04:38:57,100
appropriate, then the case will go on

6451
04:38:57,100 --> 04:39:00,100
to the next level of review which is

6452
04:39:00,100 --> 04:39:03,100
being forwarded to the probation

6453
04:39:05,100 --> 04:39:06,100
didn't.

6454
04:39:06,100 --> 04:39:07,100
once there, a deputy probation officer

6455
04:39:07,100 --> 04:39:08,100
is assigned and does essentially a

6456
04:39:08,100 --> 04:39:10,100
similar analysis, they are also

6457
04:39:10,100 --> 04:39:11,100
authorized to decide that no further

6458
04:39:11,100 --> 04:39:14,100
action is needed under the

6459
04:39:14,100 --> 04:39:16,100
circumstances, they can refer the

6460
04:39:16,100 --> 04:39:18,100
family to another agency or community

6461
04:39:18,100 --> 04:39:20,100
based organization for services and

6462
04:39:20,100 --> 04:39:23,601
then they can a offer informal

6463
04:39:24,100 --> 04:39:25,100
supervision to the minor and the

6464
04:39:25,100 --> 04:39:26,100
family for up to a period of six

6465
04:39:26,100 --> 04:39:28,100
months where is the family can receive

6466
04:39:28,100 --> 04:39:31,100
services on a voluntary basis and the

6467
04:39:31,100 --> 04:39:33,100
case will be oozed afterwards without

6468
04:39:33,100 --> 04:39:34,100
going to court.

6469
04:39:34,100 --> 04:39:36,100
the fourth option is to refer the

6470
04:39:36,100 --> 04:39:40,100
court to the da's office for review.

6471
04:39:40,100 --> 04:39:42,100
if the case is referred to the da's

6472
04:39:42,100 --> 04:39:44,100
office, regardless of what the offense

6473
04:39:44,100 --> 04:39:47,601
is, the assigned prosecutor will also

6474
04:39:48,100 --> 04:39:50,401
review for filing suitability.

6475
04:39:51,100 --> 04:39:54,100
the assigned da can decide no further

6476
04:39:54,100 --> 04:39:55,100
action is needed, they can refer the

6477
04:39:55,100 --> 04:39:58,601
case back to the probation department

6478
04:39:59,100 --> 04:40:01,100
for informal supervision or file a

6479
04:40:01,100 --> 04:40:03,100
ward ship petition to initiate the

6480
04:40:03,100 --> 04:40:04,100
court process.

6481
04:40:04,100 --> 04:40:08,100
and I had an asterisk under the

6482
04:40:08,100 --> 04:40:09,100
probation column because there are

6483
04:40:09,100 --> 04:40:12,100
some categories of offenses that

6484
04:40:12,100 --> 04:40:14,100
mandate a referral to the da's office

6485
04:40:14,100 --> 04:40:16,100
although this doesn't mean they are

6486
04:40:16,100 --> 04:40:18,401
mandated to be filed.

6487
04:40:19,100 --> 04:40:22,100
those include the 707b offenses we

6488
04:40:22,100 --> 04:40:24,100
heard about earlier that I won't

6489
04:40:24,100 --> 04:40:25,100
repeat.

6490
04:40:25,100 --> 04:40:28,100
those are serious and violent felonies.

6491
04:40:28,100 --> 04:40:29,100
it also includes possession of a gun

6492
04:40:29,100 --> 04:40:32,100
or deadly weapon on school grounds,

6493
04:40:32,100 --> 04:40:35,100
assault of a school employee with a

6494
04:40:35,100 --> 04:40:37,100
deadly weapon, victim restitution that

6495
04:40:37,100 --> 04:40:39,100
exceeds 5 thousand dollars or if

6496
04:40:39,100 --> 04:40:42,100
there's a prior ward ship.

6497
04:40:43,100 --> 04:40:46,100
on average, the juvenile division

6498
04:40:47,100 --> 04:40:50,100
reviews 550 cases per year and files

6499
04:40:50,100 --> 04:40:52,100
petitions in 360 of those cases and

6500
04:40:52,100 --> 04:40:55,100
that's based on data from the years

6501
04:40:55,100 --> 04:40:57,100
2021 through 2025.

6502
04:40:58,100 --> 04:41:01,100
this information is offered to

6503
04:41:02,100 --> 04:41:04,100
illustrate that prosecutors exercise

6504
04:41:04,100 --> 04:41:06,100
of discretion is done carefully and on

6505
04:41:06,100 --> 04:41:08,100
a case by case basis and that the

6506
04:41:08,100 --> 04:41:12,100
receipt of a petition or a case does

6507
04:41:12,100 --> 04:41:16,201
not mean that filing will be automatic.

6508
04:41:19,100 --> 04:41:21,100
those are my prepared comments for

6509
04:41:21,100 --> 04:41:22,100
today.

6510
04:41:22,100 --> 04:41:23,100
I thank you again for the opportunity

6511
04:41:23,100 --> 04:41:26,100
to speak with you and if you have any

6512
04:41:26,100 --> 04:41:28,100
questions, I'm happy to answer them.

6513
04:41:28,100 --> 04:41:30,100
>> thank you, nadia.

6514
04:41:30,100 --> 04:41:31,100
any questions from the board?

6515
04:41:31,100 --> 04:41:33,100
supervisor speier?

6516
04:41:34,100 --> 04:41:37,100
>> thank you, so about 60% of the

6517
04:41:37,100 --> 04:41:39,100
cases that are referred to you

6518
04:41:39,100 --> 04:41:42,100
actually are then processed through,

6519
04:41:42,100 --> 04:41:44,100
sounds like, based on those numbers.

6520
04:41:44,100 --> 04:41:48,100
of those offenses, the 707's that are

6521
04:41:48,100 --> 04:41:49,100
automatically brought to your

6522
04:41:49,100 --> 04:41:53,100
attention, not all of those will be

6523
04:41:53,100 --> 04:41:55,100
processed through a court procedure?

6524
04:41:55,100 --> 04:41:56,100
>> yes.

6525
04:41:56,100 --> 04:42:00,100
and I can give you an example of a

6526
04:42:00,100 --> 04:42:03,100
time that a case might come to us, the

6527
04:42:03,100 --> 04:42:05,100
report having been taken and labeled

6528
04:42:05,100 --> 04:42:09,100
as a 707b offense, but then we later

6529
04:42:09,100 --> 04:42:10,100
determine that it not only doesn't

6530
04:42:10,100 --> 04:42:12,100
need to be filed as such but that

6531
04:42:12,100 --> 04:42:15,100
maybe there is some kind of diversion

6532
04:42:15,100 --> 04:42:16,100
or informal probation that would be

6533
04:42:16,100 --> 04:42:18,100
appropriate and I would say the most

6534
04:42:18,100 --> 04:42:21,601
common would be what's called an

6535
04:42:23,100 --> 04:42:25,100
estes robbery, where a shoplifting

6536
04:42:25,100 --> 04:42:26,100
is elevated because there's some sort

6537
04:42:26,100 --> 04:42:29,100
of a use of force or threat against

6538
04:42:29,100 --> 04:42:31,100
the loss prevention officer or the

6539
04:42:31,100 --> 04:42:33,100
store employee.

6540
04:42:35,100 --> 04:42:37,100
those while technically that can be

6541
04:42:37,100 --> 04:42:41,100
counted as a robbery or could be

6542
04:42:41,100 --> 04:42:45,100
charged as a robbery, our office by

6543
04:42:45,100 --> 04:42:48,100
policy looks at whether a weapon was

6544
04:42:48,100 --> 04:42:51,100
used, whether there wass significant

6545
04:42:51,100 --> 04:42:53,100
injury to the victim, the case that

6546
04:42:53,100 --> 04:42:56,100
has come in as a robbery, we may end

6547
04:42:56,100 --> 04:42:59,100
up filing as a petty theft or not

6548
04:42:59,100 --> 04:43:01,100
referring to all and deferring it to

6549
04:43:01,100 --> 04:43:02,100
diversion.

6550
04:43:02,100 --> 04:43:04,100
>> thank you.

6551
04:43:04,100 --> 04:43:05,100
okay.

6552
04:43:05,100 --> 04:43:07,100
we will now move on to the private

6553
04:43:07,100 --> 04:43:10,601
defender's office, we have mr. Rayes,

6554
04:43:12,100 --> 04:43:13,100
thank you.

6555
04:43:13,100 --> 04:43:15,401
>> good afternoon, president, members

6556
04:43:16,100 --> 04:43:19,100
of the board, mr. Callagy, mr.

6557
04:43:19,100 --> 04:43:21,100
nibbelin, members of the public,

04:43:21,100 --> 04:43:25,100
my name is ron rayes, I'm the --

6559
04:43:25,100 --> 04:43:28,100
>> I'm going to ask you to speak

6560
04:43:28,100 --> 04:43:29,100

6562
04:43:30,100 --> 04:43:31,100

advocacy where I have co-led several

6576
04:44:05,100 --> 04:44:07,100
state youth justice buildings.

6577
04:44:07,100 --> 04:44:11,201
I'm also proud to share that cydc

6578
04:44:12,100 --> 04:44:15,100
chose san mateo county to hold their

6579
04:44:15,100 --> 04:44:18,100
annual roundtable training and it will

6580
04:44:18,100 --> 04:44:20,100
be held in october and I appreciate

6581
04:44:20,100 --> 04:44:21,100
your time for allowing me to do the

6582
04:44:21,100 --> 04:44:23,100
this presentation.

6583
04:44:24,100 --> 04:44:26,100
I want to start by sharing a little

6584
04:44:26,100 --> 04:44:30,100
bit about our youth offenders, we have

6585
04:44:30,100 --> 04:44:33,601
10 youth offenders in our office, they

6586
04:44:34,100 --> 04:44:36,100
handle cases in different levels,

6587
04:44:36,100 --> 04:44:38,100
they start with the firsts level and

6588
04:44:38,100 --> 04:44:41,100
the more serious level are the

6589
04:44:41,100 --> 04:44:44,100
transfer cases, we have -- we handle

6590
04:44:44,100 --> 04:44:47,601
mid level cases where our serious

6591
04:44:49,100 --> 04:44:52,100
felonies are listed in the welfare

6592
04:44:52,100 --> 04:44:53,100
institution code, 707b, I'm not going

6593
04:44:53,100 --> 04:44:57,100
to go through what these are, they've

6594
04:44:57,100 --> 04:44:59,100
been covered by the chief's

6595
04:44:59,100 --> 04:45:00,100
presentation, also our attorneys

6596
04:45:00,100 --> 04:45:03,100
handle the third tier of cases which

6597
04:45:03,100 --> 04:45:06,601
consist of low level felonies and

6598
04:45:08,100 --> 04:45:09,100
misdemeanors.

6599
04:45:09,100 --> 04:45:13,100
one of the things that we thrive is

6600
04:45:13,100 --> 04:45:16,100
the training of our attorneys handling

6601
04:45:16,100 --> 04:45:19,100
juvenile law cases is a very

6602
04:45:19,100 --> 04:45:21,100
technical area of the law, so we

6603
04:45:21,100 --> 04:45:23,100
require all of our attorneys to

6604
04:45:23,100 --> 04:45:26,100
complete minimum 15 hours mcle each

6605
04:45:26,100 --> 04:45:30,100
year, of that, there has to be 8 hours

6606
04:45:30,100 --> 04:45:32,100
of juvenile law specific training.

6607
04:45:32,100 --> 04:45:35,601
we offer in-house between 10-12 hours

6608
04:45:36,100 --> 04:45:38,100
of mcle juvenile training and also

6609
04:45:38,100 --> 04:45:40,401
collaborate with an organization

6610
04:45:45,100 --> 04:45:47,100
like cydc to collectively have about

6611
04:45:47,100 --> 04:45:49,100
24 hours we offer to our attorneys at

6612
04:45:49,100 --> 04:45:51,401
no cost to them.

6613
04:45:54,100 --> 04:45:56,100
and in addition to the training, we

6614
04:45:56,100 --> 04:45:58,100
make sure that our attorneys have the

6615
04:45:58,100 --> 04:46:02,801
support they need to do the best job

6616
04:46:04,100 --> 04:46:06,401
possible, that's through the

6617
04:46:11,100 --> 04:46:12,100
support services we provide, it starts

6618
04:46:12,100 --> 04:46:13,100
with our panel of private

6619
04:46:13,100 --> 04:46:15,100
investigators, we have our holistic

6620
04:46:15,100 --> 04:46:16,100
and mitigation specialists, we have a

6621
04:46:16,100 --> 04:46:19,100
panel of social workers, we work with

6622
04:46:19,100 --> 04:46:20,100
experts and we work with client

6623
04:46:20,100 --> 04:46:22,100
advocates as well.

6624
04:46:25,100 --> 04:46:29,100
and I added this slide here to just

6625
04:46:29,100 --> 04:46:32,100
give you a highlight of how we are

6626
04:46:32,100 --> 04:46:35,100
involved in the life of a case.

6627
04:46:35,100 --> 04:46:37,100
it starts on the very left, it starts

6628
04:46:37,100 --> 04:46:39,100
the minute the youth literally at

6629
04:46:39,100 --> 04:46:41,100
times are at the scene when they are

6630
04:46:41,100 --> 04:46:44,100
arrested, we get a call in order to

6631
04:46:44,100 --> 04:46:47,100
provide them with their miranda -- to

6632
04:46:47,100 --> 04:46:50,100
provide a miranda consultation and

6633
04:46:50,100 --> 04:46:52,100
discuss with them their miranda rights.

6634
04:46:52,100 --> 04:46:55,100
then it moves when a youth is booked

6635
04:46:55,100 --> 04:46:58,100
at ysc, we start working through our

6636
04:46:58,100 --> 04:47:01,100
holistic and mitigation specialist to

6637
04:47:01,100 --> 04:47:03,100
work on ways in order to release that

6638
04:47:03,100 --> 04:47:06,100
youth at that detention hearing and

6639
04:47:06,100 --> 04:47:09,100
the first green box there, that's --

6640
04:47:09,100 --> 04:47:12,601
of course our courtroom advocacy which

6641
04:47:14,100 --> 04:47:16,401
consists of rigorous litigation

6642
04:47:17,100 --> 04:47:18,100
strategies, we investigate the

6643
04:47:18,100 --> 04:47:21,100
allegation and the petition, filing

6644
04:47:21,100 --> 04:47:23,100
motions, setting contested hearings

6645
04:47:23,100 --> 04:47:26,100
and also using experts to support our

6646
04:47:26,100 --> 04:47:27,100
litigations strategies.

6647
04:47:27,100 --> 04:47:30,100
and last but not least, it's also our

6648
04:47:30,100 --> 04:47:33,100
work under the secure treatment

6649
04:47:33,100 --> 04:47:36,100
facility as the chief mentioned with

6650
04:47:36,100 --> 04:47:40,100
the closure of djj, it's changed the

6651
04:47:40,100 --> 04:47:43,100
way we handle post disposition

6652
04:47:43,100 --> 04:47:44,100
representation and there's a lot of

6653
04:47:44,100 --> 04:47:46,100
effort we have been putting into that

6654
04:47:46,100 --> 04:47:48,100
since the closure of djj.

6655
04:47:48,100 --> 04:47:53,100
I want to share a date point on each

6656
04:47:53,100 --> 04:47:55,100
of these areas that I shared with

6657
04:47:55,100 --> 04:47:57,100
you and I'm going to start the first

6658
04:47:57,100 --> 04:48:00,100
area, I'm going to share with you

6659
04:48:00,100 --> 04:48:03,601
about our miranda hotline, we have

6660
04:48:04,100 --> 04:48:06,100
attorneys on-call 7 day as week, 24

6661
04:48:06,100 --> 04:48:09,100
hours as day, last year we received

6662
04:48:09,100 --> 04:48:11,100
2048 calls from law enforcement

6663
04:48:11,100 --> 04:48:13,100
agencies, we conducted 244

6664
04:48:13,100 --> 04:48:15,100
consultation with youth that had been

6665
04:48:15,100 --> 04:48:18,100
arrested and then of the youth that we

6666
04:48:18,100 --> 04:48:20,100
spoke to, 98% of them elected to

6667
04:48:20,100 --> 04:48:23,100
assert their right to remain silent.

6668
04:48:23,100 --> 04:48:25,100
and a breakdown of the youth we worked

6669
04:48:25,100 --> 04:48:29,201
with in this area, 65% of them were 16

6670
04:48:30,100 --> 04:48:33,100
and 17 years old and then 35% of them

6671
04:48:33,100 --> 04:48:35,401
were under 15 and under.

6672
04:48:40,100 --> 04:48:42,100
the next area that we're very proud

6673
04:48:42,100 --> 04:48:46,100
of, we have done a lot of work on is

6674
04:48:46,100 --> 04:48:49,100
through our mitigation and holistic

6675
04:48:50,100 --> 04:48:53,100
specialist, lindsay paige is here with

6676
04:48:53,100 --> 04:48:56,100
me today, she started the services back

6677
04:48:56,100 --> 04:48:58,100
in 2024 on a contract basis and we are

6678
04:48:58,100 --> 04:49:00,100
very grateful to our chief defender

6679
04:49:00,100 --> 04:49:03,100
for agreeing with us to switch

6680
04:49:03,100 --> 04:49:06,100
realizing the importance of this work

6681
04:49:06,100 --> 04:49:09,100
to switch that -- this work into full

6682
04:49:09,100 --> 04:49:11,100
time position so lindsay is with us

6683
04:49:11,100 --> 04:49:13,100
now full time, that started in march

6684
04:49:13,100 --> 04:49:15,100
of this year.

6685
04:49:16,100 --> 04:49:18,100
what lindsay does on a day in and day

6686
04:49:18,100 --> 04:49:21,100
out, she meets with youth soon after

6687
04:49:21,100 --> 04:49:25,100
they are booked at juvenile hall, she

6688
04:49:25,100 --> 04:49:26,100
starts working with them, connects

6689
04:49:26,100 --> 04:49:28,100
with the family and any of their

6690
04:49:28,100 --> 04:49:30,100
support people.

6691
04:49:30,100 --> 04:49:31,100
she requests their school records and

6692
04:49:31,100 --> 04:49:33,100
starts working on a safety plan.

6693
04:49:33,100 --> 04:49:35,100
our goal always to have met with the

6694
04:49:35,100 --> 04:49:38,100
youth within 24 hours of them coming

6695
04:49:38,100 --> 04:49:42,201
into ysc and oftentimes she sees them

6696
04:49:44,100 --> 04:49:45,100
within a few hours of their detention.

6697
04:49:45,100 --> 04:49:47,100
last year, in the last fiscal year,

6698
04:49:47,100 --> 04:49:50,100
lindsay created 56 safety plans in

6699
04:49:52,100 --> 04:49:54,100
which she connected the youth to ten

6700
04:49:54,100 --> 04:49:56,100
different community based

6701
04:49:56,100 --> 04:49:59,100
organizations, so the youth when upon

6702
04:49:59,100 --> 04:50:01,100
their release are receiving services.

6703
04:50:01,100 --> 04:50:04,100
she also developed 60 detailed fully

6704
04:50:04,100 --> 04:50:07,100
structured release plan that had

6705
04:50:08,100 --> 04:50:09,100
school work, extra curricular

6706
04:50:09,100 --> 04:50:11,100
activities with contingencies if the

6707
04:50:11,100 --> 04:50:13,100
youth is released on emp.

6708
04:50:13,100 --> 04:50:15,100
she also at times worked with the

6709
04:50:15,100 --> 04:50:18,100
youth to ensure they are reenrolled

6710
04:50:18,100 --> 04:50:20,100
upon their release, they are

6711
04:50:20,100 --> 04:50:22,100
reenrolled into their school of origin.

6712
04:50:22,100 --> 04:50:25,100
we also referred 21 youth to the youth

6713
04:50:25,100 --> 04:50:27,100
education law project at stanford

6714
04:50:27,100 --> 04:50:30,100
which they provide the youth with

6715
04:50:30,100 --> 04:50:32,100
representation at discipline hearings,

6716
04:50:32,100 --> 04:50:35,100
iep's as well as direct representation

6717
04:50:35,100 --> 04:50:38,601
and education law type of cases.

6718
04:50:39,100 --> 04:50:42,100
and to give you a highlight of the

6719
04:50:42,100 --> 04:50:45,100
result of lindsay's work, we had

6720
04:50:45,100 --> 04:50:46,100
141 detentions that were referred to

6721
04:50:46,100 --> 04:50:50,100
our office last year, she -- we

6722
04:50:50,100 --> 04:50:53,601
referred to her 82 of those detentions

6723
04:50:55,100 --> 04:50:58,100
and she worked -- based on her work,

6724
04:50:58,100 --> 04:51:02,201
64 of these youth were released as a

6725
04:51:03,100 --> 04:51:07,801
result of her work and that's a result

6726
04:51:08,100 --> 04:51:10,401
we're very proud of.

6727
04:51:13,100 --> 04:51:15,100
another data I would like to share

6728
04:51:15,100 --> 04:51:18,100
with you is a lot of the work our

6729
04:51:18,100 --> 04:51:20,100
attorneys have been doing which is the

6730
04:51:20,100 --> 04:51:22,100
area of transfers.

6731
04:51:24,100 --> 04:51:26,100
and in 2016 and briefly to give you

6732
04:51:26,100 --> 04:51:29,100
history here, in 2016, prop 57 wiz

6733
04:51:30,100 --> 04:51:34,100
passed in which ended the ability to

6734
04:51:34,100 --> 04:51:36,100
try children as adults in adult courts

6735
04:51:36,100 --> 04:51:40,100
and that practice at the time was

6736
04:51:40,100 --> 04:51:43,601
known as direct file, since the

6737
04:51:46,100 --> 04:51:47,100
passage of prop 57, every youth that

6738
04:51:47,100 --> 04:51:51,201
is facing a transfer must have an

6739
04:51:52,100 --> 04:51:55,100
evident hearing before a juvenile

6740
04:51:55,100 --> 04:51:58,100
judge and only the judge can transfer

6741
04:51:58,100 --> 04:51:59,100
it to adult court.

6742
04:51:59,100 --> 04:52:02,100
since the passage of prop 57, we

6743
04:52:02,100 --> 04:52:03,100
represented 7 individuals in which

6744
04:52:03,100 --> 04:52:05,100
they were facing transfer petitions

6745
04:52:05,100 --> 04:52:08,100
and none of those 7 were transferred

6746
04:52:08,100 --> 04:52:09,100
to adult court.

6747
04:52:09,100 --> 04:52:13,100
we did have two cases in which we

6748
04:52:13,100 --> 04:52:15,100
called retrospective transfers.

6749
04:52:15,100 --> 04:52:18,100
retrospective transfer is for an

6750
04:52:19,100 --> 04:52:20,100
individual whose cases originated in

6751
04:52:20,100 --> 04:52:22,100
adult court, due to changes of the

6752
04:52:22,100 --> 04:52:26,201
law, they came back to the juvenile

6753
04:52:29,100 --> 04:52:31,100
court, one of the cases was after prop

6754
04:52:31,100 --> 04:52:34,100
57 passed and part of the global

6755
04:52:34,100 --> 04:52:36,100
disposition of that case, it went back

6756
04:52:36,100 --> 04:52:39,100
to adult court in that case, the

6757
04:52:39,100 --> 04:52:41,100
second retrospective transfer, it

6758
04:52:41,100 --> 04:52:43,100
concluded weeks ago, in that case

6759
04:52:43,100 --> 04:52:46,100
after a lengthy transfer hearing, the

6760
04:52:46,100 --> 04:52:49,601
transfer petition was denied and it

6761
04:52:50,100 --> 04:52:53,100
remained in juvenile court, that's a

6762
04:52:53,100 --> 04:52:54,100
data point we're proud to share with

6763
04:52:54,100 --> 04:52:56,100
you this afternoon.

6764
04:52:58,100 --> 04:53:02,100
the next area I want to focus on for

6765
04:53:02,100 --> 04:53:05,100
today's presentation is our post

6766
04:53:05,100 --> 04:53:07,100
disposition advocacy and our work with

6767
04:53:07,100 --> 04:53:09,100
youth are committed to the secure

6768
04:53:09,100 --> 04:53:10,100
track.

6769
04:53:10,100 --> 04:53:13,100
as the chief has mentioned, that law

6770
04:53:13,100 --> 04:53:15,100
responsibility have fallen on the

6771
04:53:15,100 --> 04:53:18,100
county since the closure of djj and

6772
04:53:18,100 --> 04:53:21,601
also with that, with the sb823,

6773
04:53:23,100 --> 04:53:24,100
there's a lot of responsibility that

6774
04:53:24,100 --> 04:53:25,100
we were tasked with.

6775
04:53:25,100 --> 04:53:28,100
as a result of that, we worked with

6776
04:53:28,100 --> 04:53:30,100
our youth add voluntary kayos, each

6777
04:53:30,100 --> 04:53:33,100
youth who are committed to secure

6778
04:53:33,100 --> 04:53:35,100
track is assigned a compliant added

6779
04:53:35,100 --> 04:53:37,100
voluntary kate.

6780
04:53:37,100 --> 04:53:39,100
the client advocates work with them on

6781
04:53:39,100 --> 04:53:41,100
the creation of individual

6782
04:53:41,100 --> 04:53:42,100
rehabilitation plan, not only with the

6783
04:53:42,100 --> 04:53:44,100
youth but also with the defender.

6784
04:53:44,100 --> 04:53:47,100
they meet with the youth at least once

6785
04:53:47,100 --> 04:53:49,100
a month in order to track their

6786
04:53:49,100 --> 04:53:52,100
progress as they're making their

6787
04:53:53,100 --> 04:53:54,100
rehabilitation progress towards their

6788
04:53:54,100 --> 04:53:56,401
rehabilitation plan, they attend

6789
04:53:58,100 --> 04:54:00,100
mbt's, court reviews and coordinate

6790
04:54:00,100 --> 04:54:03,100
with the different providers and they

6791
04:54:03,100 --> 04:54:06,100
also assist their providers in less

6792
04:54:06,100 --> 04:54:07,100
restrictive programs as they

6793
04:54:07,100 --> 04:54:10,100
transition from a secure facility into

6794
04:54:10,100 --> 04:54:12,100
the community.

6795
04:54:14,100 --> 04:54:16,100
and to share a date point on the work

6796
04:54:16,100 --> 04:54:19,100
we have been doing in this space, in

6797
04:54:19,100 --> 04:54:22,601
2026, there were ten youth that were

6798
04:54:24,100 --> 04:54:26,100
in secure track, nine of them were

6799
04:54:26,100 --> 04:54:28,100
eligible for the six months review

6800
04:54:28,100 --> 04:54:31,100
that's mandated from welfare and

6801
04:54:31,100 --> 04:54:33,100
institution code 875, as a result of

6802
04:54:33,100 --> 04:54:35,100
the work of our advocates and the

6803
04:54:35,100 --> 04:54:37,100
advocates of our defenders, those

6804
04:54:37,100 --> 04:54:39,100
youth we were able to save them 55

6805
04:54:39,100 --> 04:54:42,601
months off of their total time

6806
04:54:43,100 --> 04:54:44,100
commitment.

6807
04:54:44,100 --> 04:54:46,100
and with that, I'm happy to answer any

6808
04:54:46,100 --> 04:54:49,100
questions and thank you for your time.

6809
04:54:49,100 --> 04:54:50,100
>> thank you.

6810
04:54:50,100 --> 04:54:52,100
any questions?

6811
04:54:53,100 --> 04:54:54,100
okay, I have a question.

6812
04:54:54,100 --> 04:54:56,100
>> yes?

6813
04:55:00,100 --> 04:55:03,601
>> so, I'm interested in the miranda

6814
04:55:07,100 --> 04:55:09,100
consultation work that you mentioned.

6815
04:55:09,100 --> 04:55:11,100
I'm going to ask a brief question

6816
04:55:11,100 --> 04:55:14,100
and we can talk about the rest

6817
04:55:14,100 --> 04:55:15,100
off-line because we have a lot of

6818
04:55:15,100 --> 04:55:17,100
folks here.

6819
04:55:19,100 --> 04:55:23,100
we'll just talk about it off-line, but

6820
04:55:23,100 --> 04:55:26,601
I'm interested in how that works

6821
04:55:31,100 --> 04:55:34,100
especially with like our incorporated

6822
04:55:35,100 --> 04:55:38,100
areas where we still have our school

6823
04:55:38,100 --> 04:55:39,100
resource officers.

6824
04:55:39,100 --> 04:55:41,100
I heard in my district specifically

6825
04:55:41,100 --> 04:55:43,401
that these miranda consultations

6826
04:55:44,100 --> 04:55:45,100
interfere with them having

6827
04:55:45,100 --> 04:55:47,100
relationships with the young people

6828
04:55:47,100 --> 04:55:50,100
but to me, I feel like they're really

6829
04:55:50,100 --> 04:55:54,201
important but I'm trying to tease out

6830
04:55:55,100 --> 04:55:58,100
what's the -- I don't know, it's good

6831
04:55:58,100 --> 04:56:00,100
-- like, if having a relationship with

6832
04:56:00,100 --> 04:56:03,100
the young person leads to them

6833
04:56:03,100 --> 04:56:06,100
incriminating themselves and going to

6834
04:56:09,100 --> 04:56:11,100
jail, let's ere on the side of caution

6835
04:56:11,100 --> 04:56:12,100
and make sure they're not doing that.

6836
04:56:12,100 --> 04:56:14,100
>> absolutely.

6837
04:56:14,100 --> 04:56:17,100
our job is to advise the youth of

6838
04:56:17,100 --> 04:56:19,100
their miranda rights, what it means

6839
04:56:19,100 --> 04:56:22,601
and what the consequences of given

6840
04:56:23,100 --> 04:56:24,100
incriminating statement and how it

6841
04:56:24,100 --> 04:56:26,100
plays out in the legal system if they

6842
04:56:26,100 --> 04:56:29,100
were to give any statement that is

6843
04:56:29,100 --> 04:56:30,100
incriminating.

6844
04:56:30,100 --> 04:56:31,100
they ultimately make that decision, we

6845
04:56:31,100 --> 04:56:33,100
don't make that decision for them.

6846
04:56:33,100 --> 04:56:36,601
so, that's why we ask only

6847
04:56:38,100 --> 04:56:40,100
specifically trained attorneys or

6848
04:56:40,100 --> 04:56:43,100
juvenile defenders are the ones who

6849
04:56:43,100 --> 04:56:46,100
handle those calls because they

6850
04:56:46,100 --> 04:56:47,100
understand the adolescent brain

6851
04:56:47,100 --> 04:56:49,100
development, they understand that most

6852
04:56:49,100 --> 04:56:51,100
youths do not know what miranda rights

6853
04:56:51,100 --> 04:56:53,100
are and how they would play out if

6854
04:56:53,100 --> 04:56:57,100
they were to be -- to work to give a

6855
04:56:57,100 --> 04:56:58,100
statement.

6856
04:56:58,100 --> 04:57:00,100
another thing we also focus on, we

6857
04:57:00,100 --> 04:57:02,100
address the fact that given a

6858
04:57:02,100 --> 04:57:04,100
statement and whether you're going to

6859
04:57:04,100 --> 04:57:06,100
be detained or not are two

6860
04:57:06,100 --> 04:57:07,100
separate things and that should not be

6861
04:57:07,100 --> 04:57:09,100
parts of the equation if they're

6862
04:57:09,100 --> 04:57:11,100
making their decisions whether they're

6863
04:57:11,100 --> 04:57:13,100
going to be giving a statement or not.

6864
04:57:13,100 --> 04:57:14,100
>> thank you.

6865
04:57:14,100 --> 04:57:17,100
>> and as far as the mechanics of how

6866
04:57:17,100 --> 04:57:18,100
it works, I'm more than happy to share

6867
04:57:18,100 --> 04:57:19,100
with you that information.

6868
04:57:19,100 --> 04:57:21,100
>> thank you, we'll talk more about

6869
04:57:21,100 --> 04:57:23,100
that off-line.

6870
04:57:23,100 --> 04:57:24,100
any other comments?

6871
04:57:24,100 --> 04:57:25,100
okay.

6872
04:57:25,100 --> 04:57:27,100
we will now move on -- thank you so

6873
04:57:27,100 --> 04:57:29,100
much, ron, we'll move on and I would

6874
04:57:29,100 --> 04:57:32,601
like to welcome presiding judge susan

6875
04:57:35,100 --> 04:57:37,100
jakubowski, welcome, and thank you for

6876
04:57:37,100 --> 04:57:38,100
your patience.

6877
04:57:38,100 --> 04:57:40,100
>> alright.

6878
04:57:40,100 --> 04:57:42,100
president corzo and members of the

6879
04:57:42,100 --> 04:57:44,100
board of supervisors, mr. Callagy,

6880
04:57:44,100 --> 04:57:47,100
mr. Nibbelin, thank you for

6881
04:57:47,100 --> 04:57:49,100
allowing me to be here this afternoon

6882
04:57:49,100 --> 04:57:51,100
and to address you.

6883
04:57:51,100 --> 04:57:55,201
my name is susan and I'm currently

6884
04:57:56,100 --> 04:57:59,100
assigned as the presiding judge of the

6885
04:57:59,100 --> 04:58:02,100
juvenile court, this is my second time

6886
04:58:02,100 --> 04:58:04,100
up at juvenile court, I was a judge up

6887
04:58:04,100 --> 04:58:07,100
at the juvenile court from 2018

6888
04:58:07,100 --> 04:58:09,100
through 2021 and I really value this

6889
04:58:09,100 --> 04:58:11,100
work, I enjoy it so when the chance

6890
04:58:11,100 --> 04:58:15,100
came to go back, I asked to go.

6891
04:58:15,100 --> 04:58:18,100
I took over as presiding judge in late

6892
04:58:18,100 --> 04:58:19,100
may of this year.

6893
04:58:19,100 --> 04:58:22,100
we also have a second judge up at

6894
04:58:22,100 --> 04:58:25,100
juvenile court, just amara lee, she

6895
04:58:25,100 --> 04:58:28,100
started in may and has worked for me

6896
04:58:28,100 --> 04:58:30,401
these past few months.

6897
04:58:32,100 --> 04:58:35,100
I'm here to talk to you about

6898
04:58:35,100 --> 04:58:37,100
the role of the juvenile court judge

6899
04:58:37,100 --> 04:58:39,100
and how justice partners work together

6900
04:58:39,100 --> 04:58:41,100
in the juvenile justice system.

6901
04:58:41,100 --> 04:58:45,201
in the past few months, the juvenile

6902
04:58:46,100 --> 04:58:49,100
court justices have been meeting

6903
04:58:49,100 --> 04:58:50,100
with community stakeholders and

6904
04:58:50,100 --> 04:58:51,100
community organizations to learn

6905
04:58:51,100 --> 04:58:53,100
more about them and to visit their

6906
04:58:53,100 --> 04:58:54,100
facility.

6907
04:58:54,100 --> 04:58:56,100
one of the reasons we've been doing

6908
04:58:56,100 --> 04:59:00,100
this is judge lee is new to juvenile

6909
04:59:00,100 --> 04:59:02,100
court, many things have changed so I

6910
04:59:02,100 --> 04:59:05,100
feel it is helpful for both of us to

6911
04:59:05,100 --> 04:59:07,100
gather as much information as possible

6912
04:59:07,100 --> 04:59:09,100
as the programs and individuals who

6913
04:59:09,100 --> 04:59:12,100
are working with us in the juvenile

6914
04:59:12,100 --> 04:59:13,100
justice system.

6915
04:59:13,100 --> 04:59:16,100
in san mateo, there are two juvenile

6916
04:59:16,100 --> 04:59:20,100
court judges, both of us preside over

6917
04:59:20,100 --> 04:59:22,100
juvenile justice matters and

6918
04:59:22,100 --> 04:59:25,100
dependency cases and handle all the

6919
04:59:25,100 --> 04:59:28,100
hearings in the case including

6920
04:59:28,100 --> 04:59:30,100
pretrial conferences, trials and

6921
04:59:30,100 --> 04:59:32,100
dispositions, we also are responsible

6922
04:59:32,100 --> 04:59:34,100
for conducting periodic reviews of

6923
04:59:34,100 --> 04:59:36,100
cases as provided for in the welfare

6924
04:59:36,100 --> 04:59:38,100
and institutions code and sometimes if

6925
04:59:38,100 --> 04:59:41,100
we just need -- if we just think a

6926
04:59:41,100 --> 04:59:43,100
youth needs some additional monitoring

6927
04:59:43,100 --> 04:59:46,100
and we just want to make sure that --

6928
04:59:46,100 --> 04:59:48,100
how they're doing and to make sure

6929
04:59:48,100 --> 04:59:50,100
they're getting the services that they

6930
04:59:50,100 --> 04:59:51,100
need.

6931
04:59:51,100 --> 04:59:53,100
in addition to our court work, judge

6932
04:59:53,100 --> 04:59:55,100
lee and I also attends events

6933
04:59:55,100 --> 04:59:58,601
involving our youth in the youth

6934
05:00:04,100 --> 05:00:05,100
services center as well as the

6935
05:00:05,100 --> 05:00:06,100
community.

6936
05:00:06,100 --> 05:00:07,100
we have attended independent living

6937
05:00:07,100 --> 05:00:08,100
graduation, at the youth services

6938
05:00:08,100 --> 05:00:09,100
center and we asked to be on the list

6939
05:00:09,100 --> 05:00:12,100
for events at the youth services

6940
05:00:12,100 --> 05:00:13,100
center if they're doing presentations

6941
05:00:13,100 --> 05:00:16,100
so if we have time, we can go over and

6942
05:00:16,100 --> 05:00:17,100
be there with them and see what

6943
05:00:17,100 --> 05:00:18,100
they're doing.

6944
05:00:18,100 --> 05:00:20,100
as a juvenile court judge, I work

6945
05:00:20,100 --> 05:00:21,100
regularly with many different

6946
05:00:21,100 --> 05:00:24,100
holders and organizations in the

6947
05:00:25,100 --> 05:00:27,100
juvenile justice arena, these include

6948
05:00:27,100 --> 05:00:29,100
probation, the district attorney's

6949
05:00:29,100 --> 05:00:31,100
office, the private defender program,

6950
05:00:31,100 --> 05:00:34,100
the human services agency of san

6951
05:00:34,100 --> 05:00:35,100
mateo, county counsel, behavioral

6952
05:00:35,100 --> 05:00:37,100
health and recovery services, court

6953
05:00:37,100 --> 05:00:39,401
appointed special advocates, the

6954
05:00:40,100 --> 05:00:42,100
juvenile justice and delinquency

6955
05:00:42,100 --> 05:00:44,100
prevention commission, fresh lifelines

6956
05:00:44,100 --> 05:00:46,100
for work and live in peace.

6957
05:00:46,100 --> 05:00:48,100
each of these stakeholders and

6958
05:00:48,100 --> 05:00:50,100
organizations has a different role

6959
05:00:50,100 --> 05:00:53,100
working with young people who become

6960
05:00:53,100 --> 05:00:55,100
involved in juvenile justice in the

6961
05:00:55,100 --> 05:00:56,100
county.

6962
05:00:56,100 --> 05:00:57,100
the model we currently use in juvenile

6963
05:00:57,100 --> 05:01:00,100
matters is one of collaboration

6964
05:01:00,100 --> 05:01:02,401
involving these stakeholders and

6965
05:01:03,100 --> 05:01:06,100
organizations, many of us meet

6966
05:01:06,100 --> 05:01:07,100
regularly to discuss poll kissinger

6967
05:01:07,100 --> 05:01:09,100
procedures and programs to see what

6968
05:01:09,100 --> 05:01:12,100
issues need to be addressed and to

6969
05:01:12,100 --> 05:01:15,601
improve how services are provided to

6970
05:01:19,100 --> 05:01:20,100
the youth and their families.

6971
05:01:20,100 --> 05:01:21,100
my main priorities are that the youth

6972
05:01:21,100 --> 05:01:22,100
receive the services necessary for the

6973
05:01:22,100 --> 05:01:23,100
rehabilitation and development while

6974
05:01:23,100 --> 05:01:25,100
they are in the juvenile justice

6975
05:01:25,100 --> 05:01:26,100
system.

6976
05:01:26,100 --> 05:01:28,100
it is also important that the youth

6977
05:01:28,100 --> 05:01:30,100
and those that provide services to

6978
05:01:30,100 --> 05:01:32,100
them as well as the community remain

6979
05:01:32,100 --> 05:01:34,401
safe during this process.

6980
05:01:38,000 --> 05:01:41,100
although each of the stakeholders may

6981
05:01:41,100 --> 05:01:42,100
have different responsibilities in the

6982
05:01:42,100 --> 05:01:44,100
process, my goal is to continue to

6983
05:01:44,100 --> 05:01:46,100
have everyone work together as much as

6984
05:01:46,100 --> 05:01:49,100
we can to reach a resolution so that

6985
05:01:49,100 --> 05:01:52,100
we continue to focus on the goal of

6986
05:01:52,100 --> 05:01:54,100
rehabilitation of our youth so they

6987
05:01:54,100 --> 05:01:56,100
will succeed as future adult members

6988
05:01:56,100 --> 05:01:58,100
of our community.

6989
05:01:58,100 --> 05:02:01,100
and I'm happy to take any questions if

6990
05:02:01,100 --> 05:02:02,100
anyone has any.

6991
05:02:02,100 --> 05:02:03,100
>> thank you.

6992
05:02:03,100 --> 05:02:04,100
supervisor mueller?

6993
05:02:04,100 --> 05:02:08,201
>> thank you, judge, I wanted to ask

6994
05:02:09,100 --> 05:02:11,100
when I was going through the san mateo

6995
05:02:11,100 --> 05:02:13,100
county juvenile justice and

6996
05:02:13,100 --> 05:02:15,100
delinquency comprising's operating

6997
05:02:15,100 --> 05:02:17,100
policies, it says appointments is done

6998
05:02:17,100 --> 05:02:18,100
by yourself in conjunction with the

6999
05:02:18,100 --> 05:02:19,100
presiding judge.

7000
05:02:19,100 --> 05:02:20,100
>> right.

7001
05:02:20,100 --> 05:02:23,100
>> then later on in section 4, it says

7002
05:02:23,100 --> 05:02:26,100
that the county executive's offices

7003
05:02:26,100 --> 05:02:27,100
and administrative staff provide

7004
05:02:27,100 --> 05:02:30,100
support to the juvenile justice

7005
05:02:30,100 --> 05:02:31,100
commission.

7006
05:02:31,100 --> 05:02:35,201
who is the entity that reviews the

7007
05:02:36,100 --> 05:02:37,100
report and determines whether or not

7008
05:02:37,100 --> 05:02:40,100
the report that's being done on

7009
05:02:40,100 --> 05:02:43,100
inspections is in compliance with

7010
05:02:43,100 --> 05:02:45,100
standard practices?

7011
05:02:45,100 --> 05:02:47,100
is there anybody that makes sure

7012
05:02:47,100 --> 05:02:48,100
they're following the rules or doing

7013
05:02:48,100 --> 05:02:50,100
the inspection right?

7014
05:02:51,100 --> 05:02:53,100
>> well, somebody, no?

7015
05:02:55,100 --> 05:02:56,100
okay.

7016
05:02:56,100 --> 05:03:00,100
I will cede to ms. Rasmussen so she

7017
05:03:00,100 --> 05:03:02,100
can address that.

7018
05:03:05,100 --> 05:03:06,100
I know the court -- the presiding

7019
05:03:06,100 --> 05:03:07,100
judge of juvenile court reviews

7020
05:03:07,100 --> 05:03:08,100
applications for commissioners and

7021
05:03:08,100 --> 05:03:09,100
makes a recommendation, I think they

7022
05:03:09,100 --> 05:03:11,100
are then confirmed eventually by the

7023
05:03:11,100 --> 05:03:12,100
board.

7024
05:03:12,100 --> 05:03:15,100
I do know that they are provided under

7025
05:03:15,100 --> 05:03:18,100
the law to be able to go in and do the

7026
05:03:18,100 --> 05:03:19,100
inspections.

7027
05:03:19,100 --> 05:03:20,100
obviously I review those reports and

7028
05:03:20,100 --> 05:03:22,100
information and if there's some

7029
05:03:22,100 --> 05:03:24,100
concern, we can address it.

7030
05:03:24,100 --> 05:03:26,100
but I will also let ms. Rasmussen

7031
05:03:26,100 --> 05:03:28,100
speak in more detail to that.

7032
05:03:28,100 --> 05:03:30,100
>> what I'm trying to understand is

7033
05:03:30,100 --> 05:03:32,100
when I look at the reports and I have

7034
05:03:32,100 --> 05:03:36,201
gone back and looked at the last

7035
05:03:37,100 --> 05:03:40,601
reports, under section 4, it says --

7036
05:03:41,100 --> 05:03:43,100
excuse me, under section 2a, it says

7037
05:03:43,100 --> 05:03:45,100
there should be not less than 7, no

7038
05:03:45,100 --> 05:03:47,100
more than 15 commissioners and we have

7039
05:03:47,100 --> 05:03:49,100
10 right now.

7040
05:03:49,100 --> 05:03:52,100
later it makes it very clear that no

7041
05:03:52,100 --> 05:03:53,100
one commissioner can speak for the

7042
05:03:53,100 --> 05:03:54,100
body as you would expect.

7043
05:03:54,100 --> 05:03:58,801
when I look at the reports, in 2025, only

7044
05:03:59,100 --> 05:04:02,100
3 of the commissioners did the

7045
05:04:02,100 --> 05:04:05,601
inspection and only two signed it,

7046
05:04:09,100 --> 05:04:10,100
pretty close to one person speaking

7047
05:04:10,100 --> 05:04:11,100
for the body.

7048
05:04:11,100 --> 05:04:12,100
in 2025, only 4 did the inspection

7049
05:04:12,100 --> 05:04:16,801
which is still less than a quorum of

7050
05:04:18,100 --> 05:04:19,100
members of that board.

7051
05:04:19,100 --> 05:04:20,100
so I'm wondering, is that adequate or

7052
05:04:20,100 --> 05:04:21,100
is that -- how are supposed to take

7053
05:04:21,100 --> 05:04:23,100
that as a body or as a county?

7054
05:04:23,100 --> 05:04:26,100
>> I will allow ms. Rasmussen to speak

7055
05:04:26,100 --> 05:04:29,100
from that, from attending the

7056
05:04:29,100 --> 05:04:31,100
meetings, what I'm aware of is that

7057
05:04:31,100 --> 05:04:33,100
they have commissioners that sign up

7058
05:04:33,100 --> 05:04:35,100
to do the inspections.

7059
05:04:35,100 --> 05:04:37,100
I believe then they present all of the

7060
05:04:37,100 --> 05:04:40,100
data and information from those

7061
05:04:40,100 --> 05:04:44,100
inspections to one another and so the

7062
05:04:44,100 --> 05:04:47,100
onuses as I understand it, they have

7063
05:04:47,100 --> 05:04:49,100
these commissioners would sign up to

7064
05:04:49,100 --> 05:04:53,100
do the inspections and then those are

7065
05:04:53,100 --> 05:04:54,100
probably -- they conduct the

7066
05:04:54,100 --> 05:04:55,100
inspections and I believe they sign

7067
05:04:55,100 --> 05:04:59,100
off on them but I think the -- and she

7068
05:04:59,100 --> 05:05:02,601
can get into more specifics about

7069
05:05:03,100 --> 05:05:06,100
this, then I believe they share that

7070
05:05:06,100 --> 05:05:08,100
information with -- at the jjdpc meetings

7071
05:05:08,100 --> 05:05:09,100
and with the rest of the

7072
05:05:09,100 --> 05:05:12,601
commission, and I will say I

7073
05:05:13,100 --> 05:05:16,100
was not up in the juvenile court in

7074
05:05:16,100 --> 05:05:19,100
2025 and 2024, I haven't been there

7075
05:05:21,100 --> 05:05:24,100
since 2021 was my last year there, and

7076
05:05:24,100 --> 05:05:26,100
I am also newly the presiding judge up

7077
05:05:26,100 --> 05:05:30,100
there as of may of this year so, from

7078
05:05:30,100 --> 05:05:32,100
what I remember, and that's what I'm

7079
05:05:32,100 --> 05:05:33,100
going back to, that's my understanding

7080
05:05:33,100 --> 05:05:35,100
of how things work but I would leave

7081
05:05:35,100 --> 05:05:38,100
it to ms. Rasmussen to provide you

7082
05:05:38,100 --> 05:05:39,100
more detail as to those questions.

7083
05:05:39,100 --> 05:05:40,100
>> I appreciate that.

7084
05:05:40,100 --> 05:05:43,100
>> thank you, I'm just going to jump

7085
05:05:43,100 --> 05:05:44,100
in.

7086
05:05:44,100 --> 05:05:47,100
judge, I just want to -- before we

7087
05:05:47,100 --> 05:05:49,100
invite chair rasmussen up, if you

7088
05:05:49,100 --> 05:05:52,100
would allow me to let -- I have done a

7089
05:05:52,100 --> 05:05:55,100
bunch of research on this because I'm

7090
05:05:55,100 --> 05:05:57,100
the liaison to this commission now, so

7091
05:05:57,100 --> 05:05:58,100
I know mr. Callagy has some

7092
05:05:58,100 --> 05:06:01,601
information and we have deputy county

7093
05:06:03,100 --> 05:06:05,100
counsel, judith, that has some

7094
05:06:05,100 --> 05:06:07,100
information, we've been looking into it

7095
05:06:07,100 --> 05:06:10,601
so there's like state law which

7096
05:06:11,100 --> 05:06:13,100
chair rasmussen serves on a state body

7097
05:06:13,100 --> 05:06:15,100
and has that perspective.

7098
05:06:15,100 --> 05:06:17,100
we discovered that we have a local

7099
05:06:17,100 --> 05:06:19,100
ordinance and we will get to that and

7100
05:06:19,100 --> 05:06:23,201
I will give chair rasmussen more time

7101
05:06:24,100 --> 05:06:25,100
during the jjdpc presentation section

7102
05:06:25,100 --> 05:06:26,100
if that's okay with you.

7103
05:06:26,100 --> 05:06:27,100
>> yes.

7104
05:06:27,100 --> 05:06:29,100
>> okay, perfect, thank you so much.

7105
05:06:29,100 --> 05:06:32,100
and I totally -- you're not even full

7106
05:06:32,100 --> 05:06:34,100
three months into the new role, so

7107
05:06:34,100 --> 05:06:36,100
thank you so much for your

7108
05:06:36,100 --> 05:06:37,100
presentation.

7109
05:06:37,100 --> 05:06:38,100
>> thank you.

7110
05:06:38,100 --> 05:06:39,100
>> I have a question.

7111
05:06:39,100 --> 05:06:40,100
>> supervisor speier?

7112
05:06:40,100 --> 05:06:42,100
>> thank you, judge, for your present

7113
05:06:42,100 --> 05:06:43,100
at.

7114
05:06:43,100 --> 05:06:46,100
I -- presentation, I don't know if

7115
05:06:46,100 --> 05:06:48,100
you have read the civil grand jury

7116
05:06:48,100 --> 05:06:50,100
report of july 2025.

7117
05:06:51,100 --> 05:06:54,100
it's entitled vacant, valuable and

7118
05:06:55,100 --> 05:06:57,100
vulnerable, reimagining san mateo

7119
05:06:57,100 --> 05:06:58,100
county's youth services counties, have

7120
05:06:58,100 --> 05:06:59,100
you had a chance?

7121
05:06:59,100 --> 05:07:00,100
>> I have not.

7122
05:07:00,100 --> 05:07:02,100
>> maybe after you read it, we can

7123
05:07:02,100 --> 05:07:05,100
have a conversation because there's

7124
05:07:08,100 --> 05:07:09,100
some really I think valid questions

7125
05:07:09,100 --> 05:07:10,100
that are being ray raised as to how we

7126
05:07:10,100 --> 05:07:11,100
can provide services to this

7127
05:07:11,100 --> 05:07:14,100
population, maybe in a less

7128
05:07:15,100 --> 05:07:16,100
constrained fashion or differently

7129
05:07:16,100 --> 05:07:20,100
than we are, so I would encourage that

7130
05:07:20,100 --> 05:07:21,100
conversation once you've had a chance

7131
05:07:21,100 --> 05:07:23,100
to read it, thank you.

7132
05:07:23,100 --> 05:07:24,100
>> yes, happy to.

7133
05:07:24,100 --> 05:07:25,100
>> supervisor canepa also has a

7134
05:07:25,100 --> 05:07:26,100
question.

7135
05:07:26,100 --> 05:07:28,100
>> I don't have a question, but I want

7136
05:07:28,100 --> 05:07:30,100
to thank you, judge, as well as judge

7137
05:07:30,100 --> 05:07:34,100
lee, I think we've had an incredible

7138
05:07:34,100 --> 05:07:36,100
representation from the court, your

7139
05:07:36,100 --> 05:07:38,100
ability to leave and then come back

7140
05:07:38,100 --> 05:07:39,100
speaks volumes.

7141
05:07:39,100 --> 05:07:43,100
I think it takes a very special person

7142
05:07:43,100 --> 05:07:45,100
or special people and I think what the

7143
05:07:45,100 --> 05:07:47,100
court has demonstrated over a period

7144
05:07:47,100 --> 05:07:50,100
of time is really fair but being

7145
05:07:50,100 --> 05:07:53,100
compassionate and really making sure

7146
05:07:53,100 --> 05:07:55,100
that we understand people's stories

7147
05:07:55,100 --> 05:07:57,100
and what we can do.

7148
05:07:57,100 --> 05:07:59,100
these are -- to be quite frank with

7149
05:07:59,100 --> 05:08:01,100
you, these are young people and

7150
05:08:01,100 --> 05:08:04,100
everyone deserves a chance, especially

7151
05:08:04,100 --> 05:08:07,100
at a young age, but I'm delighted, I'm

7152
05:08:07,100 --> 05:08:10,100
excited that you're back and whatever

7153
05:08:10,100 --> 05:08:12,100
I can do as board member, I just want

7154
05:08:12,100 --> 05:08:15,601
to support you and your efforts,

7155
05:08:16,100 --> 05:08:20,100
please tell judge lee who I sit on the

7156
05:08:20,100 --> 05:08:23,100
library board with that you guys are

7157
05:08:23,100 --> 05:08:24,100
doing an incredible job.

7158
05:08:24,100 --> 05:08:26,100
we really do enjoy working with the

7159
05:08:26,100 --> 05:08:27,100
both of you.

7160
05:08:27,100 --> 05:08:29,100
I'm glad you came back.

7161
05:08:29,100 --> 05:08:31,100
>> and one thing I did want to say and

7162
05:08:31,100 --> 05:08:33,100
I look forward to reading the grand

7163
05:08:33,100 --> 05:08:36,100
jury report about the facilities.

7164
05:08:37,100 --> 05:08:39,100
I think that as chief can keene

7165
05:08:39,100 --> 05:08:42,100
mentioned and I think we all are of

7166
05:08:42,100 --> 05:08:45,100
the opinion that there's always

7167
05:08:45,100 --> 05:08:48,100
situations that we can improve things.

7168
05:08:48,100 --> 05:08:51,100
facilities, working on getting youth

7169
05:08:52,100 --> 05:08:53,100
connected earlier with services,

7170
05:08:53,100 --> 05:08:55,100
working on getting services for the

7171
05:08:55,100 --> 05:08:58,100
youth and their families in a quicker

7172
05:08:58,100 --> 05:09:03,100
way and in a broader way and I think

7173
05:09:03,100 --> 05:09:06,100
certainly there are things that can be

7174
05:09:06,100 --> 05:09:07,100
done to improve the facilities and

7175
05:09:07,100 --> 05:09:09,100
that's what I think we all want and

7176
05:09:09,100 --> 05:09:13,100
that's one of the reasons that many of

7177
05:09:13,100 --> 05:09:16,100
us work together klab rat I beverly to

7178
05:09:16,100 --> 05:09:19,100
find ways to make things less like a

7179
05:09:19,100 --> 05:09:23,100
facility for the youth and more a

7180
05:09:23,100 --> 05:09:25,100
system where they can work on the

7181
05:09:25,100 --> 05:09:26,100
rehabilitation, they can focus on

7182
05:09:26,100 --> 05:09:27,100
their education.

7183
05:09:27,100 --> 05:09:29,100
they can do a lot of fun things.

7184
05:09:29,100 --> 05:09:32,100
one of the things I like to stress a

7185
05:09:32,100 --> 05:09:33,100
lot of times is they've done things

7186
05:09:33,100 --> 05:09:36,100
that are very serious sometimes but

7187
05:09:36,100 --> 05:09:38,100
they're still kids and they need a

7188
05:09:38,100 --> 05:09:43,100
chance to be kids and I think we all

7189
05:09:43,100 --> 05:09:46,100
really -- the justice partners and the

7190
05:09:46,100 --> 05:09:47,100
stakeholders all have that same goal

7191
05:09:47,100 --> 05:09:50,100
in mind, that we work with them in an

7192
05:09:50,100 --> 05:09:53,100
environment that will address their

7193
05:09:53,100 --> 05:09:55,100
issues, allow them to be kids and help

7194
05:09:55,100 --> 05:09:57,100
them to get to a better place at the

7195
05:09:57,100 --> 05:09:58,100
end of the day.

7196
05:09:58,100 --> 05:10:00,100
so I'm open to all of that, thank you.

7197
05:10:00,100 --> 05:10:02,100
>> thank you, judge.

7198
05:10:04,100 --> 05:10:07,100
mr. Callagy, would you like to answer

7199
05:10:07,100 --> 05:10:09,401
supervisor mueller's question or

7200
05:10:10,100 --> 05:10:14,100
should we invite deputy county -- or

7201
05:10:14,100 --> 05:10:15,100
county attorney nibbelin, go ahead.

7202
05:10:15,100 --> 05:10:18,100
>> I was going defer to my colleague,

7203
05:10:18,100 --> 05:10:21,100
chief deputy judith holliber, who I

7204
05:10:21,100 --> 05:10:23,100
think can address that issue, maybe a

7205
05:10:23,100 --> 05:10:24,100
couple of other things.

7206
05:10:24,100 --> 05:10:26,100
>> good afternoon, supervisors.

7207
05:10:27,100 --> 05:10:31,801
so, the body, the jjdpc body is a

7208
05:10:32,100 --> 05:10:34,100
little complicated beasts hybrid body,

7209
05:10:34,100 --> 05:10:37,100
so it's combined statutorily mandated

7210
05:10:37,100 --> 05:10:40,100
body under 225 with code 2225 which

7211
05:10:40,100 --> 05:10:43,100
is the jjc component, juvenile

7212
05:10:43,100 --> 05:10:46,100
justice, and then the dpc component is

7213
05:10:46,100 --> 05:10:49,100
an advisory commission to the board

7214
05:10:49,100 --> 05:10:51,100
and they're combined which is why you

7215
05:10:51,100 --> 05:10:53,100
have the appointments that are made by

7216
05:10:53,100 --> 05:10:55,100
the judge and then also ratified by

7217
05:10:55,100 --> 05:10:57,100
the board.

7218
05:10:58,100 --> 05:11:02,201
but the inspections that are done of

7219
05:11:04,100 --> 05:11:05,100
the facilities and the reports on

7220
05:11:05,100 --> 05:11:06,100
those inspections are specifically in

7221
05:11:06,100 --> 05:11:08,100
the code as an obligation of the jjc,

7222
05:11:08,100 --> 05:11:11,100
the statutory body that reports to the

7223
05:11:11,100 --> 05:11:12,100
court.

7224
05:11:12,100 --> 05:11:13,100
so, while the reports go to the board

7225
05:11:13,100 --> 05:11:16,100
and there are recommendations in them,

7226
05:11:16,100 --> 05:11:19,100
it's the court that oversees that

7227
05:11:19,100 --> 05:11:21,100
process of inspecting and receiving

7228
05:11:21,100 --> 05:11:22,100
the reports.

7229
05:11:22,100 --> 05:11:25,100
>> and I just wanted to add that from

7230
05:11:25,100 --> 05:11:28,100
my understanding, judith, and you can

7231
05:11:28,100 --> 05:11:30,100
correct me, the san mateo county board

7232
05:11:30,100 --> 05:11:33,601
of supervisors back in 1974-ish --

7233
05:11:35,100 --> 05:11:38,100
>> somewhere around there, maybe 66 --

7234
05:11:41,100 --> 05:11:44,100
>> 76, passed -- 66, passed an order

7235
05:11:48,100 --> 05:11:51,601
combining the two bodies and created

7236
05:11:53,100 --> 05:11:54,100
the commission as we know it now.

7237
05:11:54,100 --> 05:11:56,100
>> and that is in our ordinance code

7238
05:11:56,100 --> 05:11:58,100
and that is the prerogative of the board

7239
05:11:58,100 --> 05:12:00,100
that is provided for in the code.

7240
05:12:00,100 --> 05:12:03,100
some counties have combined them, some

7241
05:12:03,100 --> 05:12:04,100
counties have not.

7242
05:12:04,100 --> 05:12:08,201
there are other options for the dpc

7243
05:12:09,100 --> 05:12:11,100
portion of that body.

7244
05:12:11,100 --> 05:12:13,100
some have stand alone jjc's.

7245
05:12:13,100 --> 05:12:16,100
>> yes, that is absolutely correct.

7246
05:12:17,100 --> 05:12:19,100
the jjc has somewhat of a limited

7247
05:12:19,100 --> 05:12:22,100
effect in the board at one point in

7248
05:12:22,100 --> 05:12:26,201
time decided to expand that and adopt

7249
05:12:29,100 --> 05:12:32,601
the jjdpc the welfare code 223 and

7250
05:12:40,100 --> 05:12:41,100
combine them.

7251
05:12:41,100 --> 05:12:42,100
that which I think took on even a

7252
05:12:42,100 --> 05:12:45,100
larger role after that, but the duties

7253
05:12:45,100 --> 05:12:47,100
assigned to 225 are somewhat limited

7254
05:12:47,100 --> 05:12:49,401
as I understand it.

7255
05:12:52,100 --> 05:12:53,100
>> supervisor mueller?

7256
05:12:53,100 --> 05:12:55,100
>> yeah so, that's kind of what I was

7257
05:12:55,100 --> 05:12:58,100
getting to in my questions is under

7258
05:12:58,100 --> 05:12:59,100
225, really the obligation is to do

7259
05:12:59,100 --> 05:13:00,100
the inspections.

7260
05:13:00,100 --> 05:13:02,100
>> correct.

7261
05:13:02,100 --> 05:13:06,801
>> so, if less than -- I mean, in

7262
05:13:07,100 --> 05:13:08,100
2024, only two people did the

7263
05:13:08,100 --> 05:13:11,100
inspection out of the entire

7264
05:13:11,100 --> 05:13:12,100
commission.

7265
05:13:12,100 --> 05:13:13,100
in 2025, less than half of the

7266
05:13:13,100 --> 05:13:14,100
commissioners did the inspection, so

7267
05:13:14,100 --> 05:13:18,201
to the extent, how is that the

7268
05:13:20,100 --> 05:13:22,100
commission satisfying 225 and what

7269
05:13:22,100 --> 05:13:24,100
weight should we be giving the

7270
05:13:24,100 --> 05:13:26,100
commission's findings if it could be

7271
05:13:26,100 --> 05:13:27,100
swayed with such a small amount of the

7272
05:13:27,100 --> 05:13:28,100
commissioners?

7273
05:13:28,100 --> 05:13:30,100
>> I'm not sure that the code requires

7274
05:13:30,100 --> 05:13:33,100
that all the commissioners do the

7275
05:13:33,100 --> 05:13:34,100
inspections.

7276
05:13:34,100 --> 05:13:36,100
it's the commission's duty to conduct

7277
05:13:36,100 --> 05:13:38,100
them, that's the purview of the

7278
05:13:38,100 --> 05:13:39,100
commission and the court overseeing

7279
05:13:39,100 --> 05:13:41,100
the commission.

7280
05:13:41,100 --> 05:13:43,100
and the code does provide for how many

7281
05:13:43,100 --> 05:13:45,100
members on the commission, but I

7282
05:13:45,100 --> 05:13:48,100
haven't seen neigh says that

7283
05:13:48,100 --> 05:13:49,100
absolutely every single commissioner

7284
05:13:49,100 --> 05:13:51,100
has to participate in the inspections,

7285
05:13:51,100 --> 05:13:53,100
it might be that the -- I think and

7286
05:13:53,100 --> 05:13:56,100
this I will defer to ms. Rasmussen, I

7287
05:13:56,100 --> 05:13:58,100
think the way they do it is select

7288
05:13:58,100 --> 05:14:00,100
people to conduct the actual

7289
05:14:00,100 --> 05:14:01,100
inspections and they bring the

7290
05:14:01,100 --> 05:14:02,100
information back to the commission as

7291
05:14:02,100 --> 05:14:07,100
a whole to do the report, but I'm not

7292
05:14:07,100 --> 05:14:10,100
positive about that part especially

7293
05:14:10,100 --> 05:14:12,100
because that's a part I don't advise on

7294
05:14:12,100 --> 05:14:13,100
really.

7295
05:14:13,100 --> 05:14:15,100
>> okay, and I would suggest to the

7296
05:14:15,100 --> 05:14:17,100
commission in a circumstance like this

7297
05:14:17,100 --> 05:14:19,100
where we are weighing all the

7298
05:14:19,100 --> 05:14:21,100
information coming to us to see a

7299
05:14:21,100 --> 05:14:23,100
report that's only signed by two

7300
05:14:23,100 --> 05:14:25,100
commissioners and only treated the

7301
05:14:25,100 --> 05:14:27,401
inspection doesn't satisfy the

7302
05:14:28,100 --> 05:14:29,100
obligations of 225.

7303
05:14:29,100 --> 05:14:30,100
>> okay.

7304
05:14:30,100 --> 05:14:31,100
thank you.

7305
05:14:31,100 --> 05:14:33,100
>> thank you.

7306
05:14:33,100 --> 05:14:37,201
>> and so I'm going to take some

7307
05:14:40,100 --> 05:14:43,100
privilege here and invite chair

7308
05:14:43,100 --> 05:14:47,100
rasmussen to present on the jjdpc and

7309
05:14:47,100 --> 05:14:51,100
to our partners from fly and live in

7310
05:14:51,100 --> 05:14:53,100
peace, we're going to have you go

7311
05:14:53,100 --> 05:14:56,601
last, thank you for your patience.

7312
05:14:57,100 --> 05:14:58,100
chair rasmussen, please go ahead.

7313
05:14:58,100 --> 05:15:01,100
>> thank you so much, kim, am I

7314
05:15:01,100 --> 05:15:03,100
pressing the white button?

7315
05:15:03,100 --> 05:15:04,100
okay.

7316
05:15:04,100 --> 05:15:06,100
thank you so much for having us here

7317
05:15:06,100 --> 05:15:08,100
again today and for pushing through

7318
05:15:08,100 --> 05:15:11,601
and getting this study session going.

7319
05:15:12,100 --> 05:15:14,100
if you can look around, I'm pretty

7320
05:15:14,100 --> 05:15:16,100
privileged to work with some pretty

7321
05:15:16,100 --> 05:15:19,100
amazing partners who work tirelessly

7322
05:15:20,100 --> 05:15:22,100
to ensure that our young people are

7323
05:15:22,100 --> 05:15:25,100
not only safe but they

7324
05:15:29,100 --> 05:15:30,100
receive services and their lives are

7325
05:15:30,100 --> 05:15:31,100
improved.

7326
05:15:31,100 --> 05:15:32,100
since I was here in december, I'm not

7327
05:15:32,100 --> 05:15:34,100
going spend too much time going back

7328
05:15:34,100 --> 05:15:37,100
over the items that we already shared.

7329
05:15:37,100 --> 05:15:39,100
I'll just provide a brief overview

7330
05:15:39,100 --> 05:15:41,100
which I think answers some of

7331
05:15:41,100 --> 05:15:43,100
supervisor mueller's questions.

7332
05:15:43,100 --> 05:15:45,100
and it also includes the ordinance

7333
05:15:45,100 --> 05:15:48,100
that was referenced by supervisor

7334
05:15:49,100 --> 05:15:50,100
corzo.

7335
05:15:50,100 --> 05:15:52,100
so, legal authority of the joint

7336
05:15:52,100 --> 05:15:54,100
commission, so the juvenile justice

7337
05:15:54,100 --> 05:15:57,100
and delinquency prevention act of 1974

7338
05:15:58,100 --> 05:16:01,100
established national standards for how

7339
05:16:01,100 --> 05:16:04,100
youth in custody were to be tried and

7340
05:16:04,100 --> 05:16:07,601
it also supports local efforts at

7341
05:16:08,100 --> 05:16:09,100
prevention.

7342
05:16:09,100 --> 05:16:12,100
and then san mateo county in 1966

7343
05:16:12,100 --> 05:16:14,100
passed ordinance number 1769 which

7344
05:16:14,100 --> 05:16:16,100
established the delinquency prevention

7345
05:16:16,100 --> 05:16:17,100
commission, the welfare and

7346
05:16:17,100 --> 05:16:20,601
institutions code that was spoken of

7347
05:16:21,100 --> 05:16:24,100
earlier requires that every county

7348
05:16:24,100 --> 05:16:25,100
have a jjc, juvenile justice

7349
05:16:25,100 --> 05:16:26,100
commission, and it authorizes the

7350
05:16:26,100 --> 05:16:28,100
board to create and maintain a

7351
05:16:28,100 --> 05:16:30,100
delinquency prevention commission and

7352
05:16:30,100 --> 05:16:33,100
the county's responsible for paying

7353
05:16:34,100 --> 05:16:36,100
stipends and expenses and our

7354
05:16:36,100 --> 05:16:37,100
commissioner appointments are just as

7355
05:16:37,100 --> 05:16:39,100
we spoke about, they go through the

7356
05:16:39,100 --> 05:16:40,100
courts first and then they come to you

7357
05:16:40,100 --> 05:16:42,100
after that.

7358
05:16:42,100 --> 05:16:46,100
and the same members serve on both

7359
05:16:46,100 --> 05:16:47,100
commissions.

7360
05:16:47,100 --> 05:16:50,100
so, who serves on the jjdpc?

7361
05:16:50,100 --> 05:16:53,601
so, we have individuals with lived

7362
05:16:54,100 --> 05:16:57,100
experience, we have educators, we have

7363
05:16:57,100 --> 05:16:59,401
elected officials, community leaders,

7364
05:17:00,100 --> 05:17:02,100
advocates, youth, last year we had

7365
05:17:02,100 --> 05:17:04,100
five youth commissioners which I was

7366
05:17:04,100 --> 05:17:06,100
very proud of.

7367
05:17:06,100 --> 05:17:07,100
we have painters.

7368
05:17:07,100 --> 05:17:10,100
I, myself, come from a family of four

7369
05:17:10,100 --> 05:17:13,100
generations of law enforcement, my

7370
05:17:14,100 --> 05:17:15,100
family served san francisco and san

7371
05:17:15,100 --> 05:17:18,100
mateo county for over 100 years and

7372
05:17:18,100 --> 05:17:19,100
public safety is our legacy.

7373
05:17:19,100 --> 05:17:23,100
I also had a child 20 years ago who

7374
05:17:23,100 --> 05:17:24,100
went through the juvenile justice

7375
05:17:24,100 --> 05:17:26,100
system and I was one of those parents

7376
05:17:26,100 --> 05:17:28,100
who received that bill when my

7377
05:17:28,100 --> 05:17:32,100
daughter was sent to cya, it was $86 a

7378
05:17:32,100 --> 05:17:36,100
day and that was in 2022 which was

7379
05:17:36,100 --> 05:17:38,100
considerable for a police officer

7380
05:17:38,100 --> 05:17:39,100
family.

7381
05:17:39,100 --> 05:17:40,100
so, we all bring a unique

7382
05:17:40,100 --> 05:17:44,100
perspective to the table in this work

7383
05:17:44,100 --> 05:17:48,201
and I think that our diversity matters.

7384
05:17:51,100 --> 05:17:54,100
we share one common responsibility and

7385
05:17:54,100 --> 05:17:55,100
that is to look independently at how

7386
05:17:55,100 --> 05:17:56,100
our systems are serving young people

7387
05:17:56,100 --> 05:17:58,100
and where we can do better.

7388
05:17:58,100 --> 05:18:00,100
so, getting into our mandates and

7389
05:18:00,100 --> 05:18:02,100
responsibilities, sofa silt

7390
05:18:02,100 --> 05:18:04,100
inspections, so supervisor mueller, we

7391
05:18:04,100 --> 05:18:06,100
conduct about 20 facility inspections

7392
05:18:06,100 --> 05:18:07,100
a year.

7393
05:18:07,100 --> 05:18:10,601
the youth services center and secure

7394
05:18:11,100 --> 05:18:13,100
track inspection takes about four days.

7395
05:18:13,100 --> 05:18:15,100
there are very few members of the

7396
05:18:15,100 --> 05:18:17,100
commission who can take off four days

7397
05:18:17,100 --> 05:18:19,100
of work, four days of school, we can

7398
05:18:19,100 --> 05:18:21,100
only do it during the weekday, during

7399
05:18:21,100 --> 05:18:24,601
certain business hours, that is a

7400
05:18:25,100 --> 05:18:27,100
commitment that is a big facility and

7401
05:18:27,100 --> 05:18:29,100
so we have difficulty finding people

7402
05:18:29,100 --> 05:18:32,100
who can clear those schedules for that

7403
05:18:32,100 --> 05:18:35,100
many number of days to participate.

7404
05:18:35,100 --> 05:18:37,100
each year we encourage people to sign

7405
05:18:37,100 --> 05:18:40,100
up but we also are mindful that people

7406
05:18:40,100 --> 05:18:42,100
may not have that availability and

7407
05:18:42,100 --> 05:18:44,100
they're going to sign up for an

7408
05:18:44,100 --> 05:18:45,100
inspection that would only require

7409
05:18:45,100 --> 05:18:47,100
them to take off one day of work, that

7410
05:18:47,100 --> 05:18:50,100
might be for the canyon oaks facility or

7411
05:18:50,100 --> 05:18:52,100
receiving hope.

7412
05:18:52,100 --> 05:18:55,100
we also have youth who have

7413
05:18:55,100 --> 05:18:56,100
transportation issues and so maybe

7414
05:18:56,100 --> 05:18:58,100
we'll give them the responsibility of

7415
05:18:58,100 --> 05:19:01,100
doing one of the reports.

7416
05:19:02,100 --> 05:19:04,100
they don't require going out to the

7417
05:19:04,100 --> 05:19:06,100
facility where you're doing research

7418
05:19:06,100 --> 05:19:08,100
after what's happening at kafrn glen

7419
05:19:08,100 --> 05:19:12,801
wood, so we do put the sign-ups out

7420
05:19:13,100 --> 05:19:16,100
and people do sign up.

7421
05:19:16,100 --> 05:19:18,100
we're aware of the time commit: we

7422
05:19:18,100 --> 05:19:20,100
prepare the report, we distribute the

7423
05:19:20,100 --> 05:19:22,100
report, it goes before the full

7424
05:19:22,100 --> 05:19:25,100
commission and we discuss it and the

7425
05:19:25,100 --> 05:19:26,100
full commission votes to approve it.

7426
05:19:26,100 --> 05:19:28,100
it then goes to the state of

7427
05:19:28,100 --> 05:19:30,100
california and we provide it to the

7428
05:19:30,100 --> 05:19:33,100
board basically as courtesy because

7429
05:19:33,100 --> 05:19:35,100
you provide the budget for these

7430
05:19:35,100 --> 05:19:37,100
facilities and if there's liability

7431
05:19:37,100 --> 05:19:40,100
involved, it falls on us, the

7432
05:19:40,100 --> 05:19:43,100
taxpayers, the board here so I'm

7433
05:19:43,100 --> 05:19:44,100
hoping I answered the question okay.

7434
05:19:44,100 --> 05:19:46,100
okay.

7435
05:19:46,100 --> 05:19:47,100
alright.

7436
05:19:47,100 --> 05:19:49,100
so, besides facility inspections, we

7437
05:19:49,100 --> 05:19:52,100
work with bscc and oycr to ensure

7438
05:19:52,100 --> 05:19:54,100
compliance with all the things we

7439
05:19:54,100 --> 05:19:55,100
heard about earlier.

7440
05:19:55,100 --> 05:19:57,100
we conduct educational evaluations of

7441
05:19:57,100 --> 05:19:59,100
the programming that's being offered

7442
05:19:59,100 --> 05:20:01,100
in the hall and in secure track.

7443
05:20:01,100 --> 05:20:03,100
we inquire into the administration of

7444
05:20:03,100 --> 05:20:05,100
juvenile court law.

7445
05:20:08,100 --> 05:20:09,100
we make policy recommendation for

7446
05:20:09,100 --> 05:20:10,100
system improvements and then on the

7447
05:20:10,100 --> 05:20:12,100
delinquency prevention side, we're

7448
05:20:12,100 --> 05:20:14,100
responsible for coordinating

7449
05:20:14,100 --> 05:20:15,100
delinquency prevention efforts

7450
05:20:15,100 --> 05:20:16,100
throughout the county.

7451
05:20:16,100 --> 05:20:18,100
we build partnerships with schools

7452
05:20:18,100 --> 05:20:20,100
and organizations that work to prevent

7453
05:20:20,100 --> 05:20:23,100
entry into the juvenile justice system

7454
05:20:23,100 --> 05:20:24,100
in the first place.

7455
05:20:24,100 --> 05:20:27,100
we do a lot of community entrainment

7456
05:20:27,100 --> 05:20:29,401
and outreach, commissioner blanco's

7457
05:20:30,100 --> 05:20:32,100
been instrumental in making

7458
05:20:32,100 --> 05:20:33,100
partnerships with our school districts

7459
05:20:33,100 --> 05:20:35,100
and our superintendents and we go

7460
05:20:35,100 --> 05:20:37,100
and give presentations there, we give

7461
05:20:37,100 --> 05:20:39,100
presentations to civic groups and we

7462
05:20:39,100 --> 05:20:42,601
create resource and guide books for

7463
05:20:43,100 --> 05:20:46,601
parents and families and study the

7464
05:20:47,100 --> 05:20:50,100
root causes of juvenile delinquency

7465
05:20:51,100 --> 05:20:53,100
and recidivism in hopes of improving

7466
05:20:53,100 --> 05:20:55,100
public safety in san mateo county.

7467
05:20:55,100 --> 05:20:57,100
when we came in december, I think we

7468
05:20:57,100 --> 05:20:59,100
said we had ten minutes, I think we

7469
05:20:59,100 --> 05:21:01,100
went over an hour which was really

7470
05:21:01,100 --> 05:21:04,100
amazing, so we highlighted some of the

7471
05:21:04,100 --> 05:21:06,401
issues that probation has

7472
05:21:08,100 --> 05:21:10,100
consistently said they're not in their

7473
05:21:10,100 --> 05:21:11,100
purview to fik.

7474
05:21:11,100 --> 05:21:13,100
for example, the chief as much as he

7475
05:21:13,100 --> 05:21:17,100
might want to provide adequate food or

7476
05:21:17,100 --> 05:21:20,100
food that tastes good, that is really

7477
05:21:20,100 --> 05:21:21,100
correctional health and dietitian,

7478
05:21:21,100 --> 05:21:24,601
everybody has their own space, right,

7479
05:21:27,100 --> 05:21:28,100
so there were issues that we

7480
05:21:28,100 --> 05:21:29,100
elevated, many of which working with

7481
05:21:29,100 --> 05:21:31,100
probation year after year that they

7482
05:21:31,100 --> 05:21:32,100
said, we need help with, procurement

7483
05:21:32,100 --> 05:21:34,100
is one.

7484
05:21:35,100 --> 05:21:38,100
for instance, we had some -- when I

7485
05:21:38,100 --> 05:21:40,100
say we, I mean collectively,

7486
05:21:40,100 --> 05:21:41,100
that's how we work.

7487
05:21:41,100 --> 05:21:44,100
we had some shelving that was on order,

7488
05:21:44,100 --> 05:21:47,100
about five years ago, and that

7489
05:21:47,100 --> 05:21:48,100
shelving went through the procurement

7490
05:21:48,100 --> 05:21:50,100
process but by the time it got

7491
05:21:50,100 --> 05:21:52,100
approved, I think it was earlier this

7492
05:21:52,100 --> 05:21:53,100
year, the company had gone out of

7493
05:21:53,100 --> 05:21:56,100
business so we have to start all over

7494
05:21:56,100 --> 05:21:58,100
again, then they said the weight at

7495
05:21:58,100 --> 05:22:00,100
dpw could be up to would years before

7496
05:22:00,100 --> 05:22:02,100
they could get it installed so being

7497
05:22:02,100 --> 05:22:05,100
able to have some sort of expedited

7498
05:22:05,100 --> 05:22:07,100
procurement process for our juvenile

7499
05:22:07,100 --> 05:22:09,100
facilities would be very helpful not

7500
05:22:09,100 --> 05:22:11,100
only for probation to be able to take

7501
05:22:11,100 --> 05:22:14,100
care of the facility in the way in

7502
05:22:14,100 --> 05:22:18,100
which they want to but it would also

7503
05:22:18,100 --> 05:22:20,100
eliminate these issues with the

7504
05:22:20,100 --> 05:22:22,100
carpets and the painting and the

7505
05:22:22,100 --> 05:22:26,100
things we mentioned to you in december.

7506
05:22:26,100 --> 05:22:28,100
I wanted to touch base on the dental

7507
05:22:28,100 --> 05:22:29,100
care.

7508
05:22:29,100 --> 05:22:32,100
I appreciated the very thorough and

7509
05:22:32,100 --> 05:22:33,100
comprehensive reports that were

7510
05:22:33,100 --> 05:22:35,100
presented here.

7511
05:22:35,100 --> 05:22:37,100
there are -- there were in this last

7512
05:22:37,100 --> 05:22:39,100
inspection cycle long waits for dental

7513
05:22:39,100 --> 05:22:41,100
care, I even had one youth who had a

7514
05:22:41,100 --> 05:22:45,100
court order and waited 8 months with a

7515
05:22:45,100 --> 05:22:47,100
court order to get dental care.

7516
05:22:47,100 --> 05:22:48,100
there are issues within the system

7517
05:22:48,100 --> 05:22:49,100
that we need to elevate.

7518
05:22:49,100 --> 05:22:52,601
that's our responsibility to do so.

7519
05:22:53,100 --> 05:22:55,100
the limited prea compliance, that from

7520
05:22:55,100 --> 05:22:57,100
our perspective was that there was no

7521
05:22:57,100 --> 05:22:58,100
information available on the website

7522
05:22:58,100 --> 05:23:01,100
as far as no policy but the actual

7523
05:23:01,100 --> 05:23:03,100
numbers, the prea numbers, let's say

7524
05:23:03,100 --> 05:23:06,601
the sheriff department has on their

7525
05:23:07,100 --> 05:23:08,100
website.

7526
05:23:08,100 --> 05:23:10,100
lack of confidential reporting options.

7527
05:23:10,100 --> 05:23:12,100
I was happy to hear the chief

7528
05:23:12,100 --> 05:23:13,100
mentioned they were looking at an

7529
05:23:13,100 --> 05:23:14,100
outside number.

7530
05:23:14,100 --> 05:23:18,100
I did look to see after our meeting

7531
05:23:18,100 --> 05:23:20,100
two weeks ago what the reporting

7532
05:23:20,100 --> 05:23:22,401
options were available online,

7533
05:23:23,100 --> 05:23:25,100
supervisor corzo mentioned those, and

7534
05:23:25,100 --> 05:23:28,100
it's a pdf form, so not all youth have

7535
05:23:28,100 --> 05:23:31,100
access to computers in the hall,

7536
05:23:31,100 --> 05:23:32,100
mainly it's just college students, so

7537
05:23:32,100 --> 05:23:36,801
to be able to access the pdf, print

7538
05:23:37,100 --> 05:23:39,100
the pdf, fill out the pdf and e-mail

7539
05:23:39,100 --> 05:23:43,201
it back to probation is cumbersome for

7540
05:23:44,100 --> 05:23:46,100
juveniles when you may not have that

7541
05:23:46,100 --> 05:23:47,100
access.

7542
05:23:47,100 --> 05:23:49,100
your parents may be able to, I have

7543
05:23:49,100 --> 05:23:51,100
messages on my phone from parents

7544
05:23:51,100 --> 05:23:54,100
would say they don't want to go

7545
05:23:54,100 --> 05:23:56,100
through normal channels because they

7546
05:23:56,100 --> 05:23:59,100
feel their child may be retaliated

7547
05:23:59,100 --> 05:24:00,100
against.

7548
05:24:00,100 --> 05:24:02,100
having alternative ways that don't

7549
05:24:02,100 --> 05:24:04,100
involve going through probation would

7550
05:24:04,100 --> 05:24:06,100
be helpful.

7551
05:24:06,100 --> 05:24:08,100
we currently house females with males

7552
05:24:08,100 --> 05:24:11,100
which has its own issues.

7553
05:24:11,100 --> 05:24:15,100
we don't have enough females which is

7554
05:24:15,100 --> 05:24:17,100
a fortunate position to be in but it

7555
05:24:17,100 --> 05:24:20,601
is difficult to house them together.

7556
05:24:21,100 --> 05:24:24,100
so, we have one on the secure track

7557
05:24:24,100 --> 05:24:25,100
unit, sometimes we'll have three, four

7558
05:24:25,100 --> 05:24:28,100
on the other housing units.

7559
05:24:29,100 --> 05:24:30,100
okay.

7560
05:24:30,100 --> 05:24:33,100
and then most recently there's been

7561
05:24:33,100 --> 05:24:35,100
discussion about difficulty in

7562
05:24:35,100 --> 05:24:36,100
accessing funding for our secure track

7563
05:24:36,100 --> 05:24:37,100
youth.

7564
05:24:37,100 --> 05:24:40,100
I know the state has provided I

7565
05:24:40,100 --> 05:24:41,100
believe close to 12 million dollars

7566
05:24:41,100 --> 05:24:44,100
for this prop lacing and -- population

7567
05:24:44,100 --> 05:24:46,100
and there are steps that must be

7568
05:24:46,100 --> 05:24:48,100
taken to access that funding that's

7569
05:24:48,100 --> 05:24:50,100
something we're interested in learning

7570
05:24:50,100 --> 05:24:52,100
more about and wanting to see what

7571
05:24:52,100 --> 05:24:54,100
barriers can be removed so that money

7572
05:24:54,100 --> 05:24:57,100
can be used for the youth and their

7573
05:24:57,100 --> 05:24:59,100
individual rehabilitation plans.

7574
05:24:59,100 --> 05:25:01,100
staffing levelers are always something

7575
05:25:01,100 --> 05:25:04,100
that we bring up and I know that mr.

7576
05:25:04,100 --> 05:25:07,100
wade and I would communicate each

7577
05:25:07,100 --> 05:25:10,100
week, we would communicate and I know

7578
05:25:10,100 --> 05:25:13,100
they are really trying to hire new

7579
05:25:13,100 --> 05:25:14,100
folks.

7580
05:25:14,100 --> 05:25:17,601
they even changed the shift schedules

7581
05:25:18,100 --> 05:25:21,100
to include 312's and 410's to sort of

7582
05:25:21,100 --> 05:25:23,100
-- because everybody's vying for the

7583
05:25:23,100 --> 05:25:24,100
same people.

7584
05:25:24,100 --> 05:25:26,100
so, I think that they're working

7585
05:25:26,100 --> 05:25:28,100
towards that.

7586
05:25:28,100 --> 05:25:30,100
we are seeing a growing number of

7587
05:25:30,100 --> 05:25:32,100
youth who are experiencing housing

7588
05:25:32,100 --> 05:25:36,100
instability, so if a youth stays in

7589
05:25:36,100 --> 05:25:38,100
custody until their 18th birthday and

7590
05:25:38,100 --> 05:25:40,100
their probation is terminated and they

7591
05:25:40,100 --> 05:25:42,100
don't have anywhere to go, we're

7592
05:25:42,100 --> 05:25:45,100
finding out where do we place them,

7593
05:25:45,100 --> 05:25:47,100
we're currently working with samaritan

7594
05:25:47,100 --> 05:25:49,100
house to see how we can build a

7595
05:25:49,100 --> 05:25:52,100
partnership there so we can keep those

7596
05:25:52,100 --> 05:25:54,401
kids off the street.

7597
05:25:56,100 --> 05:26:00,100
so I'll go into now the issues in the

7598
05:26:00,100 --> 05:26:01,100
communities.

7599
05:26:01,100 --> 05:26:03,100
so, there's a lack of robust reentry

7600
05:26:03,100 --> 05:26:05,100
services and support.

7601
05:26:06,100 --> 05:26:07,100
meaning that when my daughter went

7602
05:26:07,100 --> 05:26:09,100
through the system, we have what we

7603
05:26:09,100 --> 05:26:11,100
call wrap around services and it was a

7604
05:26:11,100 --> 05:26:13,100
wrap around program that really did

7605
05:26:13,100 --> 05:26:15,100
just that, it wrapped around the

7606
05:26:15,100 --> 05:26:18,100
family, whatever that looked like, to

7607
05:26:18,100 --> 05:26:19,100
provide them with the intensive

7608
05:26:19,100 --> 05:26:21,100
services they needed to succeed.

7609
05:26:21,100 --> 05:26:24,100
right now we have contracted services

7610
05:26:24,100 --> 05:26:27,100
that are very limited at a recent

7611
05:26:27,100 --> 05:26:30,100
meet, we talked about this and the

7612
05:26:30,100 --> 05:26:33,100
first month could be as little as four

7613
05:26:33,100 --> 05:26:36,100
hours and that four hours is not

7614
05:26:36,100 --> 05:26:38,100
really robust reentry services so

7615
05:26:38,100 --> 05:26:41,100
that's something we're looking to

7616
05:26:42,100 --> 05:26:43,100
improve.

7617
05:26:43,100 --> 05:26:46,100
also transportation into the youth

7618
05:26:46,100 --> 05:26:47,100
services center, samtrans eliminated

7619
05:26:47,100 --> 05:26:50,100
the bus route there and the commission

7620
05:26:50,100 --> 05:26:52,100
lobbied samtrans to consider their

7621
05:26:52,100 --> 05:26:54,100
decision but they said that the

7622
05:26:54,100 --> 05:26:56,100
neighborhood was located in an

7623
05:26:56,100 --> 05:26:57,100
affluent area and that was a factor

7624
05:26:57,100 --> 05:27:00,100
to why the service was can you and so

7625
05:27:00,100 --> 05:27:04,100
we have not been able to restore any

7626
05:27:04,100 --> 05:27:06,100
public transportation up there which

7627
05:27:06,100 --> 05:27:07,100
is critical because that's where youth

7628
05:27:07,100 --> 05:27:11,100
check in with probation, that's where we

7629
05:27:11,100 --> 05:27:13,100
have code, both dependency and

7630
05:27:13,100 --> 05:27:14,100
delinquency court.

7631
05:27:14,100 --> 05:27:18,201
there are a lot of services being

7632
05:27:19,100 --> 05:27:22,100
provided, visiting, things like that,

7633
05:27:22,100 --> 05:27:23,100
challenging accessing services once

7634
05:27:23,100 --> 05:27:24,100
they're out of the community and the

7635
05:27:24,100 --> 05:27:26,401
basic lack of support.

7636
05:27:27,100 --> 05:27:29,100
all of these issues are connected, if

7637
05:27:29,100 --> 05:27:32,100
we look at the community issues, all

7638
05:27:32,100 --> 05:27:34,100
of those are interconnected and if we

7639
05:27:34,100 --> 05:27:37,100
want young people to succeed when they

7640
05:27:37,100 --> 05:27:39,100
leave custody, it's very important

7641
05:27:39,100 --> 05:27:41,100
that these things are in place when

7642
05:27:41,100 --> 05:27:43,100
they walk out the door.

7643
05:27:43,100 --> 05:27:45,100
facility and maintenance, getting back

7644
05:27:45,100 --> 05:27:47,100
to our procurement process and mentioning

7645
05:27:47,100 --> 05:27:49,100
the delays we had with the carpet

7646
05:27:49,100 --> 05:27:52,100
and flooring, much of the damage to

7647
05:27:52,100 --> 05:27:53,100
the carpets has resulted in the change

7648
05:27:53,100 --> 05:27:55,100
of the food services that were

7649
05:27:55,100 --> 05:27:58,100
transferred during the pandemic over

7650
05:27:59,100 --> 05:28:02,100
to the county jail and they're

7651
05:28:02,100 --> 05:28:05,100
heated up, there's ovens and

7652
05:28:05,100 --> 05:28:06,100
refrigerators on the housing unit, you

7653
05:28:06,100 --> 05:28:09,100
can see the extensive food stains and

7654
05:28:09,100 --> 05:28:11,100
whatnot and near the tables where

7655
05:28:11,100 --> 05:28:12,100
the youth eat.

7656
05:28:12,100 --> 05:28:15,100
so I think -- and the facility is

7657
05:28:15,100 --> 05:28:17,100
coming up on 20 years, and I think

7658
05:28:17,100 --> 05:28:19,100
having an open house is a fantastic

7659
05:28:19,100 --> 05:28:20,100
idea.

7660
05:28:20,100 --> 05:28:22,100
but it is a state of the art facility.

7661
05:28:22,100 --> 05:28:24,100
that track, what we have in the

7662
05:28:24,100 --> 05:28:28,201
center, there is a beautiful facility and

7663
05:28:29,100 --> 05:28:32,100
our goal as commission when we raise

7664
05:28:32,100 --> 05:28:34,100
these issues about the maintenance and

7665
05:28:34,100 --> 05:28:35,100
things that need to be done, we want

7666
05:28:35,100 --> 05:28:37,100
to keep it that way.

7667
05:28:37,100 --> 05:28:39,100
we never want to get back to the place

7668
05:28:39,100 --> 05:28:42,100
we were at 21 tower road, so it

7669
05:28:42,100 --> 05:28:43,100
requires maintenance and it is hard to

7670
05:28:43,100 --> 05:28:46,100
believe it's already been 20 years

7671
05:28:49,100 --> 05:28:50,100
but it has, and so just like in our

7672
05:28:50,100 --> 05:28:51,100
own homes, you know, we need to keep

7673
05:28:51,100 --> 05:28:53,100
care of things.

7674
05:28:55,100 --> 05:28:57,100
so, okay, so we've talked about the

7675
05:28:57,100 --> 05:29:00,100
carpets and flooring, the lack of

7676
05:29:00,100 --> 05:29:01,100
personal storage, general housekeeping

7677
05:29:01,100 --> 05:29:02,100
and maintenance.

7678
05:29:02,100 --> 05:29:05,100
one thing I learned in july when we

7679
05:29:05,100 --> 05:29:08,100
went for our most recent inspection,

7680
05:29:08,100 --> 05:29:10,100
commissioner paten and I, I learned we

7681
05:29:10,100 --> 05:29:12,100
do not have a housekeeping contract in

7682
05:29:12,100 --> 05:29:15,100
place for the juveniles or some of the

7683
05:29:15,100 --> 05:29:18,100
youth are the ones who perform all the

7684
05:29:18,100 --> 05:29:20,100
housekeeping which is fine but it kind

7685
05:29:20,100 --> 05:29:23,100
of also expands why we don't have --

7686
05:29:23,100 --> 05:29:26,100
things aren't deep cleaned and I don't

7687
05:29:26,100 --> 05:29:28,100
know how they ever been trained to

7688
05:29:28,100 --> 05:29:31,100
clean, you know, my children have

7689
05:29:31,100 --> 05:29:34,100
chores at home but cleaning a facility

7690
05:29:34,100 --> 05:29:37,100
of that size I think is worthy of a

7691
05:29:37,100 --> 05:29:39,100
contract, just to ensure we're doing a

7692
05:29:39,100 --> 05:29:40,100
deep clean.

7693
05:29:40,100 --> 05:29:42,100
I know there is a contract in place

7694
05:29:42,100 --> 05:29:44,100
for the administrative offices and

7695
05:29:44,100 --> 05:29:45,100
the lobbies and things like that, and

7696
05:29:45,100 --> 05:29:49,801
I believe I spoke with mr. Wade and

7697
05:29:50,100 --> 05:29:51,100
ms. Ramirez during the inspection to

7698
05:29:51,100 --> 05:29:54,100
see about ways that we can expand that

7699
05:29:54,100 --> 05:29:57,601
contract to include some deep cleaning

7700
05:29:58,100 --> 05:30:00,100
there.

7701
05:30:02,100 --> 05:30:04,100
commission challenges, some challenges

7702
05:30:04,100 --> 05:30:06,100
we faced is with our annual inspection

7703
05:30:06,100 --> 05:30:08,100
report, we send them over to the board

7704
05:30:08,100 --> 05:30:10,100
each year as courtesy for the reasons

7705
05:30:10,100 --> 05:30:14,100
I explained and we very seldom get

7706
05:30:14,100 --> 05:30:15,100
feedback.

7707
05:30:15,100 --> 05:30:17,100
we were really happy in december when

7708
05:30:17,100 --> 05:30:19,100
we gott feedback and we were invited

7709
05:30:19,100 --> 05:30:21,100
by supervisor canepa who was our

7710
05:30:21,100 --> 05:30:24,100
liaison for probably more than a

7711
05:30:24,100 --> 05:30:26,100
decade, yeah, so, okay, and then

7712
05:30:26,100 --> 05:30:27,100
inclusion.

7713
05:30:27,100 --> 05:30:29,100
sometimes we find out after the fact

7714
05:30:29,100 --> 05:30:31,100
really important decisions have been

7715
05:30:31,100 --> 05:30:33,100
made or there's discussions happening

7716
05:30:33,100 --> 05:30:35,100
or planning and we don't know about it

7717
05:30:35,100 --> 05:30:39,100
and here we are, this board of

7718
05:30:39,100 --> 05:30:40,100
volunteers, unpaid volunteers, who

7719
05:30:40,100 --> 05:30:43,601
dedicate their time and expertise to

7720
05:30:44,100 --> 05:30:46,100
benefit the youth so we'd like a seat

7721
05:30:46,100 --> 05:30:48,100
at the table.

7722
05:30:48,100 --> 05:30:50,100
commissioner stipends and

7723
05:30:50,100 --> 05:30:51,100
commissions also covered in welfare

7724
05:30:51,100 --> 05:30:53,100
and institution 231, those have not

7725
05:30:53,100 --> 05:30:56,100
been provided as long as I have been

7726
05:30:56,100 --> 05:30:57,100
on the commission.

7727
05:30:57,100 --> 05:30:59,100
there is a code that states that

7728
05:30:59,100 --> 05:31:01,100
commissioners will receive a stipend

7729
05:31:01,100 --> 05:31:02,100
for attending meetings and their

7730
05:31:02,100 --> 05:31:05,601
expenses will be covered but we've

7731
05:31:06,100 --> 05:31:08,100
never received that.

7732
05:31:09,100 --> 05:31:12,100
in other counties, they've give than

7733
05:31:12,100 --> 05:31:14,100
money to help commissioners in

7734
05:31:14,100 --> 05:31:15,100
transportation, that was something we

7735
05:31:15,100 --> 05:31:19,201
brought to the board maybe three years

7736
05:31:21,100 --> 05:31:23,100
ago and at that time, I believe the

7737
05:31:23,100 --> 05:31:26,100
president was mr. Slocum, he said

7738
05:31:26,100 --> 05:31:27,100
that's not?

7739
05:31:27,100 --> 05:31:29,100
>> the county was interested in doing

7740
05:31:29,100 --> 05:31:31,100
but it is in the welfare and

7741
05:31:31,100 --> 05:31:34,100
institutions code as a mandate.

7742
05:31:35,100 --> 05:31:36,100
yes?

7743
05:31:36,100 --> 05:31:40,100
so, and that is for the delinquency

7744
05:31:40,100 --> 05:31:41,100
prevention.

7745
05:31:41,100 --> 05:31:42,100
communication gaps and coordination

7746
05:31:42,100 --> 05:31:44,100
and information sharing, commission

7747
05:31:44,100 --> 05:31:46,100
funding, our commission doesn't have a

7748
05:31:46,100 --> 05:31:48,100
budget, you heard back in december how

7749
05:31:48,100 --> 05:31:50,100
much we self-fund and buy things on

7750
05:31:50,100 --> 05:31:52,100
our own during the pandemic, we were

7751
05:31:52,100 --> 05:31:56,100
using my own zoom account to conduct

7752
05:31:56,100 --> 05:31:57,100
meetings.

7753
05:31:57,100 --> 05:31:58,100
access to information.

7754
05:31:58,100 --> 05:32:00,100
it is a challenge to obtain

7755
05:32:00,100 --> 05:32:03,100
information and data to carry out our

7756
05:32:03,100 --> 05:32:05,100
oversight responsibilities.

7757
05:32:07,100 --> 05:32:08,100
accomplishments.

7758
05:32:08,100 --> 05:32:10,100
we have a handbook, how to help your

7759
05:32:10,100 --> 05:32:13,100
child after an arrest and that sits

7760
05:32:13,100 --> 05:32:17,100
in the lobby of the juvenile hall,

7761
05:32:17,100 --> 05:32:19,100
private defender's office, and we

7762
05:32:19,100 --> 05:32:21,100
are in the process of updating that

7763
05:32:21,100 --> 05:32:24,100
now and we found someone who's willing

7764
05:32:24,100 --> 05:32:27,601
to donate their services in tongva,

7765
05:32:28,100 --> 05:32:31,100
we will have it in three separate

7766
05:32:31,100 --> 05:32:33,100
languages.

7767
05:32:33,100 --> 05:32:36,601
we did the elevate voting rights

7768
05:32:40,100 --> 05:32:42,100
program.

7769
05:32:43,100 --> 05:32:44,100
there was supervisor speier that

7770
05:32:44,100 --> 05:32:46,100
offered to get the 12 laptops.

7771
05:32:46,100 --> 05:32:49,100
I want to be clear that the laptops we

7772
05:32:49,100 --> 05:32:53,100
provide youth and the chief and I had

7773
05:32:53,100 --> 05:32:55,100
a conversation about this, our kids

7774
05:32:55,100 --> 05:32:58,100
who have been released from the

7775
05:32:58,100 --> 05:33:00,100
facility do not have any technology

7776
05:33:00,100 --> 05:33:02,100
and are enrolled in college and wish

7777
05:33:02,100 --> 05:33:03,100
to continue.

7778
05:33:03,100 --> 05:33:05,100
we provide them with laptops.

7779
05:33:05,100 --> 05:33:08,100
>> I'm going to ask you to finish out

7780
05:33:08,100 --> 05:33:09,100
your presentation.

7781
05:33:09,100 --> 05:33:11,100
I don't want to address a specific

7782
05:33:11,100 --> 05:33:13,100
board member, I want us to get through

7783
05:33:13,100 --> 05:33:16,100
to the end here and we'll have board

7784
05:33:16,100 --> 05:33:18,100
questions and keep it moving.

7785
05:33:18,100 --> 05:33:21,100
>> the laptop initiative is -- okay,

7786
05:33:21,100 --> 05:33:23,100
suited for success and then the peer

7787
05:33:23,100 --> 05:33:25,401
program, the commission raised 680

7788
05:33:26,100 --> 05:33:29,100
thousand dollars for the peer point

7789
05:33:29,100 --> 05:33:32,100
program which we can't administer

7790
05:33:32,100 --> 05:33:35,100
programs so we put fly in touch with

7791
05:33:35,100 --> 05:33:38,100
those funders and they handle that

7792
05:33:38,100 --> 05:33:39,100
contract.

7793
05:33:39,100 --> 05:33:41,100
we are recognized as statewide

7794
05:33:41,100 --> 05:33:44,100
leaders, I founded the california

7795
05:33:44,100 --> 05:33:45,100
juvenile justice collaborative, I sit

7796
05:33:45,100 --> 05:33:48,601
on the advisory group for sacramento

7797
05:33:50,100 --> 05:33:52,100
for policy and legislative

7798
05:33:52,100 --> 05:33:53,100
subcommittee and commissioner blanco

7799
05:33:53,100 --> 05:33:55,401
sit on the oycr.

7800
05:34:05,100 --> 05:34:08,100
we do policy reform, educational

7801
05:34:10,100 --> 05:34:12,100
pansies is one that we've been working

7802
05:34:12,100 --> 05:34:14,100
with the county office of education.

7803
05:34:14,100 --> 05:34:16,100
superintendent marco

7804
05:34:17,100 --> 05:34:19,100
chavez, we discovered we weren't in

7805
05:34:19,100 --> 05:34:21,100
compliance with educational transition

7806
05:34:21,100 --> 05:34:22,100
plan.

7807
05:34:22,100 --> 05:34:24,100
what that means is any youth who's

7808
05:34:24,100 --> 05:34:25,100
incarcerated over 30 days is required

7809
05:34:25,100 --> 05:34:29,100
to have a plan on how they're going

7810
05:34:29,100 --> 05:34:31,100
to get into school, enroll, what's

7811
05:34:31,100 --> 05:34:33,100
going to happen, we are act timely

7812
05:34:33,100 --> 05:34:36,100
working on that, they've worked on an

7813
05:34:36,100 --> 05:34:38,100
mou with probation.

7814
05:34:38,100 --> 05:34:39,100
protecting youth confidentiality, I

7815
05:34:39,100 --> 05:34:41,100
spoke on that earlier.

7816
05:34:41,100 --> 05:34:44,100
the strip searches, I just wanted to

7817
05:34:44,100 --> 05:34:46,100
make one clarification, I do have a

7818
05:34:46,100 --> 05:34:48,100
report in my hand that was sent to me

7819
05:34:48,100 --> 05:34:50,100
by the office of youth and community

7820
05:34:50,100 --> 05:34:52,100
restoration who investigated that

7821
05:34:52,100 --> 05:34:55,100
incident and found the allegations to

7822
05:34:55,100 --> 05:34:57,100
be substantiated so I have a copy of

7823
05:34:57,100 --> 05:34:59,401
that report for clarity.

7824
05:35:04,100 --> 05:35:06,100
visiting, after the youth bill of

7825
05:35:06,100 --> 05:35:08,100
rights was passed, we went in and

7826
05:35:08,100 --> 05:35:11,601
talked with then presiding judge susan

7827
05:35:13,100 --> 05:35:15,100
about sibling visiting, we got that

7828
05:35:15,100 --> 05:35:18,100
put through, we reduced the wait time

7829
05:35:18,100 --> 05:35:20,100
for eyeglasses by elevating the issue,

7830
05:35:20,100 --> 05:35:22,100
it used to take up to a year to get a

7831
05:35:22,100 --> 05:35:24,100
pair of eyeglasses and now the wait

7832
05:35:24,100 --> 05:35:26,100
time is about 30 days.

7833
05:35:26,100 --> 05:35:29,601
and the youth have pillows, okay.

7834
05:35:34,100 --> 05:35:37,601
so, some of our delinquency prevention

7835
05:35:38,100 --> 05:35:42,100
work, that's what I'm going to show

7836
05:35:42,100 --> 05:35:46,201
you this video , in january, we held

7837
05:35:47,100 --> 05:35:48,100
our prevention and youth voices

7838
05:35:48,100 --> 05:35:50,100
conference, I saw supervisor mueller

7839
05:35:50,100 --> 05:35:52,100
there, he took the time, thank you so

7840
05:35:52,100 --> 05:35:54,100
much for being there, that meant a

7841
05:35:54,100 --> 05:35:56,100
lot, we didn't gate chance to talk, I

7842
05:35:56,100 --> 05:35:57,100
appreciate you being there.

7843
05:35:57,100 --> 05:36:02,401
but we created a video of the day that

7844
05:36:03,100 --> 05:36:06,100
shows just the level of collaboration

7845
05:36:06,100 --> 05:36:10,100
and work that went into this event and

7846
05:36:10,100 --> 05:36:12,100
I think I will go ahead and share that

7847
05:36:12,100 --> 05:36:13,100
now.

7848
05:36:13,100 --> 05:36:15,100
( playing video ).

7849
05:38:59,100 --> 05:39:00,100
>> chair rasmussen, do you know how

7850
05:39:00,100 --> 05:39:02,401
much longer this is?

7851
05:39:03,100 --> 05:39:05,100
>> [inaudible].

7852
05:39:33,100 --> 05:39:37,201
>> we've been going through two and a

7853
05:39:39,100 --> 05:39:40,100
half hours now and we have a lot of

7854
05:39:40,100 --> 05:39:41,100
items to go through.

7855
05:39:41,100 --> 05:39:43,100
>> so, this video for those who are

7856
05:39:43,100 --> 05:39:46,100
interested is available on our

7857
05:39:46,100 --> 05:39:49,100
website, so it was a huge event.

7858
05:39:49,100 --> 05:39:52,100
we raised over 30 thousand dollars,

7859
05:39:52,100 --> 05:39:53,100
commissioner blanco, to put that

7860
05:39:53,100 --> 05:39:56,100
together, it was sponsored by project

7861
05:39:56,100 --> 05:39:58,100
change and the community colleges so

7862
05:39:58,100 --> 05:40:02,801
we're proud of that work and we'll be

7863
05:40:04,100 --> 05:40:06,100
sending you an invitation for a year

7864
05:40:06,100 --> 05:40:07,100
coming up.

7865
05:40:07,100 --> 05:40:09,100
when we were there in july for the

7866
05:40:09,100 --> 05:40:12,601
inspection, it was noted that under

7867
05:40:15,100 --> 05:40:16,100
the title 15 nutritional guidelines,

7868
05:40:16,100 --> 05:40:19,100
it showed that we were not in

7869
05:40:19,100 --> 05:40:21,100
compliance with menus and that the

7870
05:40:21,100 --> 05:40:23,100
nutritional values had not been

7871
05:40:23,100 --> 05:40:26,100
established and I understand through

7872
05:40:28,100 --> 05:40:32,100
talking with them today, that the lady

7873
05:40:32,100 --> 05:40:34,100
who's responsible for developing those

7874
05:40:34,100 --> 05:40:38,100
menus and for signing off they meet

7875
05:40:38,100 --> 05:40:40,100
the nutritional values has been out on

7876
05:40:40,100 --> 05:40:41,100
a medical.

7877
05:40:41,100 --> 05:40:42,100
I wanted to mention that.

7878
05:40:42,100 --> 05:40:44,100
that is the extent of my presentation

7879
05:40:44,100 --> 05:40:45,100
today.

7880
05:40:45,100 --> 05:40:48,100
>> okay, do we have questions from the

7881
05:40:48,100 --> 05:40:49,100
board?

7882
05:40:49,100 --> 05:40:50,100
>> supervisor mueller?

7883
05:40:50,100 --> 05:40:51,100
>> I do have a question.

7884
05:40:51,100 --> 05:40:55,201
so, you mentioned that it takes a

7885
05:40:57,100 --> 05:40:58,100
course of four days for all of the

7886
05:40:58,100 --> 05:41:01,100
commissioners to do all of the

7887
05:41:01,100 --> 05:41:04,100
inspections or just four day fords for

7888
05:41:04,100 --> 05:41:05,100
the juvenile hall.

7889
05:41:05,100 --> 05:41:06,100
>> yes, for the juvenile hall, they

7890
05:41:06,100 --> 05:41:09,100
are on one campus but they are on two

7891
05:41:09,100 --> 05:41:10,100
distinct facilities.

7892
05:41:10,100 --> 05:41:12,100
>> how long does it take to do all the

7893
05:41:12,100 --> 05:41:14,100
inspections for all the facilities?

7894
05:41:14,100 --> 05:41:18,801
>> we start the process in july and we

7895
05:41:20,100 --> 05:41:24,100
wrap up by the end of the year.

7896
05:41:24,100 --> 05:41:26,100
>> and about how many commissioners

7897
05:41:26,100 --> 05:41:28,100
are doing each of the inspections?

7898
05:41:28,100 --> 05:41:31,100
>> well, commissioners, we ask they

7899
05:41:31,100 --> 05:41:35,100
sign up for at least two and our

7900
05:41:35,100 --> 05:41:38,601
numbers are lower than sometimes --

7901
05:41:39,100 --> 05:41:41,100
then sometimes we need them to sign up

7902
05:41:41,100 --> 05:41:42,100
for three.

7903
05:41:42,100 --> 05:41:44,100
>> for each of the facilities in the

7904
05:41:44,100 --> 05:41:46,100
county then, are there somewhere

7905
05:41:46,100 --> 05:41:48,100
between three and four commissioners

7906
05:41:48,100 --> 05:41:50,100
-- let me ask you this, is there any

7907
05:41:50,100 --> 05:41:52,100
facility in the county that there's a

7908
05:41:52,100 --> 05:41:54,100
majority of the commission to put the

7909
05:41:54,100 --> 05:41:55,100
inspection together?

7910
05:41:55,100 --> 05:41:56,100
>> no.

7911
05:41:56,100 --> 05:41:58,100
and most of the time, that isn't

7912
05:41:58,100 --> 05:42:00,100
something that the facility would like

7913
05:42:00,100 --> 05:42:02,100
for us to show up with ten people I.

7914
05:42:02,100 --> 05:42:04,100
doesn't really take that to do the

7915
05:42:04,100 --> 05:42:05,100
inspection.

7916
05:42:05,100 --> 05:42:08,100
we try and rotate and give everybody

7917
05:42:08,100 --> 05:42:11,601
an opportunity to serve on whatever

7918
05:42:12,100 --> 05:42:14,100
inspection team they want to, but to

7919
05:42:14,100 --> 05:42:17,100
show up -- I know even for graduation

7920
05:42:17,100 --> 05:42:19,100
events, probation has requested

7921
05:42:19,100 --> 05:42:22,100
no more than three, so it's just a

7922
05:42:22,100 --> 05:42:25,100
matter of how things work that way,

7923
05:42:25,100 --> 05:42:27,100
but no, we share the work.

7924
05:42:27,100 --> 05:42:29,100
that's how we do it.

7925
05:42:29,100 --> 05:42:31,100
and then everybody weighs in,

7926
05:42:31,100 --> 05:42:33,100
everybody votes to approve.

7927
05:42:33,100 --> 05:42:36,100
>> alright, so earlier you said that

7928
05:42:36,100 --> 05:42:40,201
people couldn't get the four days off

7929
05:42:42,100 --> 05:42:45,100
to juvenile hall and additionally

7930
05:42:45,100 --> 05:42:47,100
to that, it's your belief that the

7931
05:42:47,100 --> 05:42:48,100
facility doesn't want more than four

7932
05:42:48,100 --> 05:42:49,100
people?

7933
05:42:49,100 --> 05:42:52,100
>> well, I think we should ask --

7934
05:42:52,100 --> 05:42:55,100
that's just in my experience.

7935
05:42:55,100 --> 05:42:58,100
the most we've ever had on the team is

7936
05:42:58,100 --> 05:43:00,100
four but I think the best person to

7937
05:43:00,100 --> 05:43:05,401
ask is the chief on how many -- if

7938
05:43:06,100 --> 05:43:07,100
he'd like all ten of us to come, I

7939
05:43:07,100 --> 05:43:09,100
don't know that we could achieve that,

7940
05:43:09,100 --> 05:43:12,100
but we could ask him.

7941
05:43:12,100 --> 05:43:13,100
>> chief, do you have a problem with

7942
05:43:13,100 --> 05:43:15,100
all ten going?

7943
05:43:18,100 --> 05:43:19,100
thank you.

7944
05:43:19,100 --> 05:43:20,100
okay, I'm going to go ahead, I do want

7945
05:43:20,100 --> 05:43:21,100
to try to figure this out because it's

7946
05:43:21,100 --> 05:43:22,100
for two years in a row, it's been a

7947
05:43:22,100 --> 05:43:25,100
very small number of people who did

7948
05:43:25,100 --> 05:43:27,100
the inspects and like I said in that

7949
05:43:27,100 --> 05:43:29,100
one year, three did it and only

7950
05:43:29,100 --> 05:43:31,100
two signed.

7951
05:43:31,100 --> 05:43:34,100
I'm not sure ms. Woke didn't sign that

7952
05:43:34,100 --> 05:43:35,100
year?

7953
05:43:35,100 --> 05:43:36,100
>> she left the commission by the time

7954
05:43:36,100 --> 05:43:38,100
the report was issued and she had

7955
05:43:38,100 --> 05:43:40,100
already left the commission.

7956
05:43:40,100 --> 05:43:41,100
she had termed out.

7957
05:43:41,100 --> 05:43:42,100
>> thank you.

7958
05:43:42,100 --> 05:43:44,100
>> this year we had three,

7959
05:43:44,100 --> 05:43:46,100
commissioner bocanegra, [inaudible], and

7960
05:43:46,100 --> 05:43:47,100
commissioner paten.

7961
05:43:47,100 --> 05:43:49,100
>> so, only three did the inspection

7962
05:43:49,100 --> 05:43:50,100
the this year?

7963
05:43:50,100 --> 05:43:52,100
>> for one we just did in july.

7964
05:43:52,100 --> 05:43:53,100
>> okay, thank you.

7965
05:43:53,100 --> 05:43:54,100
>> you're welcome.

7966
05:43:54,100 --> 05:43:56,401
>> okay, any other questions?

7967
05:43:58,100 --> 05:44:00,401
okay, I have several.

7968
05:44:03,100 --> 05:44:04,100
okay.

7969
05:44:04,100 --> 05:44:06,100
I'm going to start -- you know, I

7970
05:44:06,100 --> 05:44:10,801
think we heard you reference a lot of

7971
05:44:14,100 --> 05:44:17,100
state laws and make a lot of

7972
05:44:17,100 --> 05:44:20,100
statements about how our county is out

7973
05:44:20,100 --> 05:44:23,100
of compliance with funding the

7974
05:44:23,100 --> 05:44:25,100
commission and specifically making

7975
05:44:25,100 --> 05:44:29,100
statements and you are the chair of

7976
05:44:29,100 --> 05:44:33,100
this commission, so I want to address

7977
05:44:33,100 --> 05:44:35,100
like what it looks like to the public

7978
05:44:35,100 --> 05:44:38,100
when the chair of a commission makes

7979
05:44:38,100 --> 05:44:42,201
statements that the county is out of

7980
05:44:43,100 --> 05:44:46,100
compliance and not providing --

7981
05:44:47,100 --> 05:44:49,100
creating the appearance that we are

7982
05:44:49,100 --> 05:44:52,100
not refunding a commission for

7983
05:44:54,100 --> 05:44:55,100
essentially incurring expenses that

7984
05:44:55,100 --> 05:44:58,100
were never approved and not refunding

7985
05:44:58,100 --> 05:45:00,100
that to a chair or a commission, so

7986
05:45:00,100 --> 05:45:01,100
let me be more clear.

7987
05:45:01,100 --> 05:45:03,401
specifically for our welfare

7988
05:45:08,100 --> 05:45:11,100
institution code 231, you shared that

7989
05:45:11,100 --> 05:45:13,100
this county does not provide that

7990
05:45:13,100 --> 05:45:17,100
funding and so I would like county

7991
05:45:17,100 --> 05:45:20,100
attorney nibbelin and maybe deputy

7992
05:45:22,100 --> 05:45:23,100
county attorney holliber to kind of

7993
05:45:23,100 --> 05:45:26,100
give us some perspective on that,

7994
05:45:26,100 --> 05:45:28,100
are we violating welfare institution

7995
05:45:28,100 --> 05:45:29,100
code 231 by not providing --

7996
05:45:29,100 --> 05:45:31,100
>> stipends.

7997
05:45:32,100 --> 05:45:34,100
>> stipends to these commissioners?

7998
05:45:34,100 --> 05:45:36,100
>> no, I don't think we are.

7999
05:45:36,100 --> 05:45:38,100
section 231 of the welfare

8000
05:45:38,100 --> 05:45:40,100
institutions code does provide that

8001
05:45:40,100 --> 05:45:43,100
members of the jjc are entitled to

8002
05:45:43,100 --> 05:45:46,100
have expenses that are necessary and

8003
05:45:46,100 --> 05:45:48,100
reasonable reimbursed.

8004
05:45:49,100 --> 05:45:51,100
when claims for reimbursement are made.

8005
05:45:51,100 --> 05:45:54,100
and it also states that in the

8006
05:45:54,100 --> 05:45:57,100
alternative, a county could provide

8007
05:45:57,100 --> 05:45:58,100
for a stipend but there's no

8008
05:45:58,100 --> 05:46:01,601
requirement that there be a stipend,

8009
05:46:03,100 --> 05:46:05,100
so it's really a question of whether

8010
05:46:05,100 --> 05:46:06,100
or not we receive proper claims for

8011
05:46:06,100 --> 05:46:07,100
reimbursement for necessary expenses.

8012
05:46:07,100 --> 05:46:09,100
>> okay.

8013
05:46:09,100 --> 05:46:13,100
and so I want to address this because

8014
05:46:13,100 --> 05:46:16,100
this creates a distraction from

8015
05:46:16,100 --> 05:46:18,100
serving the young people, it creates

8016
05:46:18,100 --> 05:46:22,100
this claim that our county is doing

8017
05:46:22,100 --> 05:46:24,100
wrong by the commissioners and is

8018
05:46:24,100 --> 05:46:27,601
violating the law and thus creates

8019
05:46:31,100 --> 05:46:34,100
this kind of this insinuation that we

8020
05:46:34,100 --> 05:46:36,100
are violating the rights of young

8021
05:46:36,100 --> 05:46:39,100
people and that is something that I

8022
05:46:39,100 --> 05:46:41,100
would hope wouldn't repeatedly happen

8023
05:46:41,100 --> 05:46:43,100
but I think it's something that --

8024
05:46:43,100 --> 05:46:45,100
it's something that has repeatedly

8025
05:46:45,100 --> 05:46:46,100
happened.

8026
05:46:46,100 --> 05:46:47,100
and then --

8027
05:46:47,100 --> 05:46:48,100
>> it is our understanding --

8028
05:46:48,100 --> 05:46:50,100
>> I'm not done, I'm sorry, one second.

8029
05:46:50,100 --> 05:46:53,100
the other thing -- and I'll give you

8030
05:46:53,100 --> 05:46:55,100
a chance to respond.

8031
05:46:55,100 --> 05:46:59,100
the other thing I wanted to bring

8032
05:46:59,100 --> 05:47:00,100
attention to, the statement that you

8033
05:47:00,100 --> 05:47:03,100
made about the fact that the

8034
05:47:03,100 --> 05:47:06,601
commission has incurred a lot of

8035
05:47:09,100 --> 05:47:11,100
expenses, that some commissioners have

8036
05:47:11,100 --> 05:47:13,100
incurred a lot of expenses that the

8037
05:47:13,100 --> 05:47:14,100
county has not reimbursed

8038
05:47:14,100 --> 05:47:15,100
commissioners for.

8039
05:47:15,100 --> 05:47:17,100
the county does not reimburse

8040
05:47:17,100 --> 05:47:20,100
commissioners for expenses that were

8041
05:47:20,100 --> 05:47:22,100
never approved beforehand by the

8042
05:47:22,100 --> 05:47:25,100
county and they don't even do that for

8043
05:47:25,100 --> 05:47:26,100
staff.

8044
05:47:26,100 --> 05:47:28,100
>> I never made that claim, supervisor.

8045
05:47:28,100 --> 05:47:30,100
>> I'm pretty sure we all heard you

8046
05:47:30,100 --> 05:47:34,100
say that, so go ahead and you can

8047
05:47:34,100 --> 05:47:36,401
respond now but we've

8048
05:47:37,100 --> 05:47:40,100
never -- we have asked for the county

8049
05:47:40,100 --> 05:47:42,100
support in providing money for awards

8050
05:47:42,100 --> 05:47:45,100
for outgoing commissioners such as

8051
05:47:46,100 --> 05:47:48,100
commissioner susan swope who is our

8052
05:47:48,100 --> 05:47:51,100
longest servicing commissioner of all

8053
05:47:51,100 --> 05:47:53,100
time, but we don't submit for expenses

8054
05:47:53,100 --> 05:47:54,100
and it was our understanding, we had a

8055
05:47:54,100 --> 05:47:56,100
whole project that went into this back

8056
05:47:56,100 --> 05:47:59,100
in -- three years ago about the

8057
05:47:59,100 --> 05:48:00,100
welfare and institutions code and it

8058
05:48:00,100 --> 05:48:01,100
was our understanding and through my

8059
05:48:01,100 --> 05:48:04,601
work on the statewide commissions that

8060
05:48:05,100 --> 05:48:08,100
other countess do receive that $25

8061
05:48:08,100 --> 05:48:09,100
stipend per meeting up to two meetings

8062
05:48:09,100 --> 05:48:13,100
which I think is outlined in the

8063
05:48:13,100 --> 05:48:15,100
welfare and institutions code, but

8064
05:48:15,100 --> 05:48:16,100
remember, we're community volunteers

8065
05:48:16,100 --> 05:48:18,401
so we're not attorneys.

8066
05:48:19,100 --> 05:48:21,100
and so we -- that was our

8067
05:48:21,100 --> 05:48:23,100
interpretation, so much so we brought

8068
05:48:23,100 --> 05:48:25,100
it to the board in the past to try and

8069
05:48:25,100 --> 05:48:27,100
resolve it.

8070
05:48:27,100 --> 05:48:28,100
>> okay, well, if you're not an

8071
05:48:28,100 --> 05:48:30,100
attorney, you should not speak as if

8072
05:48:30,100 --> 05:48:33,100
you are directly quoting law as if you

8073
05:48:33,100 --> 05:48:36,100
know exactly what the law says.

8074
05:48:36,100 --> 05:48:37,100
>> I believe it says that.

8075
05:48:37,100 --> 05:48:40,100
>> I believe that's the responsibility

8076
05:48:40,100 --> 05:48:42,100
as a chair of a commission that

8077
05:48:42,100 --> 05:48:44,100
represents this county to not create

8078
05:48:44,100 --> 05:48:47,100
the false illusion that that's what

8079
05:48:47,100 --> 05:48:49,100
you're claiming as the truth.

8080
05:48:49,100 --> 05:48:52,100
I'm going to pass it over to

8081
05:48:52,100 --> 05:48:55,100
commissioner -- I mean, supervisor

8082
05:48:55,100 --> 05:48:56,100
canepa?

8083
05:48:56,100 --> 05:48:57,100
>> thank you so much.

8084
05:48:57,100 --> 05:48:58,100
I've had the honor to serve with the

8085
05:48:58,100 --> 05:49:00,100
commission for ten years.

8086
05:49:00,100 --> 05:49:02,100
I worked -- I think we worked really

8087
05:49:02,100 --> 05:49:04,100
well together, right, john.

8088
05:49:04,100 --> 05:49:06,100
we have, and I think the good thing is

8089
05:49:06,100 --> 05:49:09,100
what I have seen over the ten years is

8090
05:49:09,100 --> 05:49:11,401
it's a good, healthy

8091
05:49:14,100 --> 05:49:15,100
tension, sometimes you do certain

8092
05:49:15,100 --> 05:49:19,100
things and it may not be status quo

8093
05:49:19,100 --> 05:49:23,100
but what we're able to do -- and chief

8094
05:49:23,100 --> 05:49:25,100
keene, I think you can attest to this,

8095
05:49:25,100 --> 05:49:26,100
he does listen, right.

8096
05:49:26,100 --> 05:49:27,100
>> he does.

8097
05:49:27,100 --> 05:49:29,100
>> and if you look at the things,

8098
05:49:29,100 --> 05:49:31,100
I think one of the things I was

8099
05:49:31,100 --> 05:49:34,100
thinking about chief keene, I showed

8100
05:49:34,100 --> 05:49:37,601
supervisor gauthier this, was sb90, we

8101
05:49:39,100 --> 05:49:41,100
were able to work with the commission,

8102
05:49:41,100 --> 05:49:44,100
with the department, we had 12.4

8103
05:49:44,100 --> 05:49:47,100
million dollars and we worked

8104
05:49:47,100 --> 05:49:50,100
collaboratively and collect I beverly

8105
05:49:51,100 --> 05:49:52,100
beverly -- collectively to solve it

8106
05:49:52,100 --> 05:49:55,100
so there is this built in tension, you

8107
05:49:55,100 --> 05:49:58,100
have to recognize that but I look at

8108
05:49:58,100 --> 05:50:00,100
the progress we've made, it's been

8109
05:50:00,100 --> 05:50:01,100
great.

8110
05:50:01,100 --> 05:50:04,100
now I do want to say this and I have

8111
05:50:04,100 --> 05:50:08,801
to -- I'm not trying to come to

8112
05:50:11,100 --> 05:50:13,100
ms. Rasmussen's defense, but I think

8113
05:50:13,100 --> 05:50:15,100
you really care.

8114
05:50:15,100 --> 05:50:19,801
I mean, you ran out of your pocket,

8115
05:50:20,100 --> 05:50:21,100
she didn't seek reimbursement, I think

8116
05:50:21,100 --> 05:50:24,100
there was a member of the board who

8117
05:50:24,100 --> 05:50:26,100
said we should reimburse, so I think

8118
05:50:26,100 --> 05:50:29,601
the record has to reflect that.

8119
05:50:30,100 --> 05:50:34,100
I have no issue with you, joanne, I

8120
05:50:34,100 --> 05:50:37,100
have no issue with the members.

8121
05:50:37,100 --> 05:50:39,100
I think your hearts are in the right

8122
05:50:39,100 --> 05:50:40,100
place.

8123
05:50:40,100 --> 05:50:42,100
you care for these kids, you shouldn't

8124
05:50:42,100 --> 05:50:43,100
be faulted for that.

8125
05:50:43,100 --> 05:50:46,100
you should not with faulted for that,

8126
05:50:46,100 --> 05:50:49,100
and as we move forward and I think

8127
05:50:49,100 --> 05:50:52,100
being the longest standing member of

8128
05:50:52,100 --> 05:50:55,100
the board here, it works out in a

8129
05:50:55,100 --> 05:50:58,100
strange way having this commission,

8130
05:50:58,100 --> 05:51:01,100
while you guys can be a little bit

8131
05:51:01,100 --> 05:51:04,100
troublesome at times in a good way, I

8132
05:51:04,100 --> 05:51:07,601
think you guys bringing these issues

8133
05:51:09,100 --> 05:51:12,100
forward makes the hall stronger and it

8134
05:51:12,100 --> 05:51:14,100
makes them -- the kids feel someone

8135
05:51:14,100 --> 05:51:16,100
they can talk to as advocates and I

8136
05:51:16,100 --> 05:51:18,100
think it's important, it's a part of

8137
05:51:18,100 --> 05:51:21,100
the process, it's messy, but I think

8138
05:51:21,100 --> 05:51:23,100
it's important and so I'm glad we're

8139
05:51:23,100 --> 05:51:26,601
having this study session and you've

8140
05:51:27,100 --> 05:51:28,100
got to -- you have to have faith and I

8141
05:51:28,100 --> 05:51:30,100
have seen it over the period of ten

8142
05:51:30,100 --> 05:51:33,100
years, you haven't got everything, the

8143
05:51:33,100 --> 05:51:34,100
commission hasn't got everything

8144
05:51:34,100 --> 05:51:35,100
they've wanted.

8145
05:51:35,100 --> 05:51:38,100
that's not a bad thing but

8146
05:51:38,100 --> 05:51:41,100
there has been progress and I do think

8147
05:51:41,100 --> 05:51:42,100
that this commission is really

8148
05:51:42,100 --> 05:51:44,100
important, you have done some valuable

8149
05:51:44,100 --> 05:51:45,100
work.

8150
05:51:45,100 --> 05:51:46,100
plaid dam chair?

8151
05:51:46,100 --> 05:51:47,100
>> thank you so much, supervisor, we

8152
05:51:47,100 --> 05:51:49,100
appreciate all the years we've worked

8153
05:51:49,100 --> 05:51:52,100
together, thank you for those comments.

8154
05:51:52,100 --> 05:51:55,100
>> supervisor speier and then mueller.

8155
05:51:58,100 --> 05:52:01,100
>> I think there are a lot of

8156
05:52:01,100 --> 05:52:03,100
wonderful people very committed to

8157
05:52:03,100 --> 05:52:07,201
these kids on the comprising and --

8158
05:52:08,100 --> 05:52:10,100
commission and within the probation

8159
05:52:10,100 --> 05:52:11,100
department.

8160
05:52:11,100 --> 05:52:12,100
I can't begin to tell you how

8161
05:52:12,100 --> 05:52:14,100
impressed I was.

8162
05:52:14,100 --> 05:52:16,100
I'm still unclear about this this

8163
05:52:16,100 --> 05:52:17,100
reimbursement issue.

8164
05:52:17,100 --> 05:52:21,100
if in fact they file a claim for

8165
05:52:21,100 --> 05:52:24,100
meetings or for what else, travel

8166
05:52:24,100 --> 05:52:26,100
expense, I mean, what is it they can

8167
05:52:26,100 --> 05:52:29,100
file for, and if -- this is in the

8168
05:52:29,100 --> 05:52:31,100
law, so other commissions don't have

8169
05:52:31,100 --> 05:52:33,100
that benefit, but if it's in the law

8170
05:52:33,100 --> 05:52:36,100
and they file a claim, they will be

8171
05:52:36,100 --> 05:52:37,100
reimbursed?

8172
05:52:37,100 --> 05:52:39,100
>> if it is for expenses that are

8173
05:52:39,100 --> 05:52:41,100
deemed necessary and appropriate for

8174
05:52:41,100 --> 05:52:42,100
the operation of the commission, the

8175
05:52:42,100 --> 05:52:44,100
answer to that, yeah, I think,

8176
05:52:44,100 --> 05:52:47,100
supervisor, would be yes, but we do

8177
05:52:47,100 --> 05:52:49,100
have processes in the county for the

8178
05:52:49,100 --> 05:52:51,100
means by which people make claims for

8179
05:52:51,100 --> 05:52:53,100
work that they do that is necessary

8180
05:52:53,100 --> 05:52:55,100
and related to their employment for

8181
05:52:55,100 --> 05:52:57,100
example, and similarly for work has

8182
05:52:57,100 --> 05:52:59,100
you might do as commissioner.

8183
05:52:59,100 --> 05:53:01,100
so, we would assess I think the claims

8184
05:53:01,100 --> 05:53:03,100
and work with the controller on the

8185
05:53:03,100 --> 05:53:06,100
claims if we got them along similar

8186
05:53:06,100 --> 05:53:08,100
lioness but that's a process we would

8187
05:53:08,100 --> 05:53:09,100
be looking at.

8188
05:53:09,100 --> 05:53:11,100
I'm not aware we've gotten claims that

8189
05:53:11,100 --> 05:53:12,100
have been denied.

8190
05:53:12,100 --> 05:53:14,100
>> I think the best thing for you to

8191
05:53:14,100 --> 05:53:15,100
do is have a conversation with the

8192
05:53:15,100 --> 05:53:18,100
controller to find out what tends to

8193
05:53:18,100 --> 05:53:22,100
be acceptable if I believe that the

8194
05:53:22,100 --> 05:53:25,100
commissioners have claims that aren't

8195
05:53:25,100 --> 05:53:28,100
reimbursed in and the welfare

8196
05:53:28,100 --> 05:53:29,100
institutions code provides for it.

8197
05:53:29,100 --> 05:53:31,100
>> thank you very much.

8198
05:53:31,100 --> 05:53:32,100
>> supervisor mueller?

8199
05:53:32,100 --> 05:53:34,100
>> yeah, I appreciate your comments,

8200
05:53:34,100 --> 05:53:36,100
supervisor canepa and supervisor

8201
05:53:36,100 --> 05:53:39,100
speier and ms. Rasmussen, I'm not

8202
05:53:39,100 --> 05:53:42,100
finding fault with you, what I'm

8203
05:53:42,100 --> 05:53:44,100
struggling with, I think the process

8204
05:53:44,100 --> 05:53:45,100
is messy but I don't think it

8205
05:53:45,100 --> 05:53:47,100
should continue the way it has.

8206
05:53:47,100 --> 05:53:50,100
I think it needs cleaning up.

8207
05:53:50,100 --> 05:53:53,100
this has spilled over into these

8208
05:53:53,100 --> 05:53:55,100
chambers multiple times and today we

8209
05:53:55,100 --> 05:53:58,100
have spent an inordinate amount of

8210
05:53:58,100 --> 05:54:01,100
time on it and because of the way it's

8211
05:54:01,100 --> 05:54:02,100
been presented process wise, they're

8212
05:54:02,100 --> 05:54:04,100
not entirely clear to me.

8213
05:54:04,100 --> 05:54:07,601
I would respectfully indicate to the

8214
05:54:08,100 --> 05:54:09,100
commission, you need to get more

8215
05:54:09,100 --> 05:54:11,100
people engaged in those inspections

8216
05:54:11,100 --> 05:54:13,100
and have more voices than yourself

8217
05:54:13,100 --> 05:54:15,100
presenting them, ms. Rasmussen, you

8218
05:54:15,100 --> 05:54:18,601
are a wonderful advocate, but there

8219
05:54:20,100 --> 05:54:22,100
needs to be -- and I need to see other

8220
05:54:22,100 --> 05:54:24,100
commissioners in the writing of that

8221
05:54:24,100 --> 05:54:25,100
report.

8222
05:54:25,100 --> 05:54:26,100
as you have seen today, there are many

8223
05:54:26,100 --> 05:54:28,100
people who have come forward who have

8224
05:54:28,100 --> 05:54:29,100
presented a lot of information and

8225
05:54:29,100 --> 05:54:33,100
when I look at your report and I see

8226
05:54:33,100 --> 05:54:35,100
over two reporters your signature of

8227
05:54:35,100 --> 05:54:37,100
those two reports are about 40% of the

8228
05:54:37,100 --> 05:54:40,100
signatures, you can see where my

8229
05:54:40,100 --> 05:54:41,100
camber on the weight of what's being

8230
05:54:41,100 --> 05:54:44,100
presented of this this could be from

8231
05:54:44,100 --> 05:54:46,100
one point of view and you want to add

8232
05:54:46,100 --> 05:54:48,100
more points of view to that to provide

8233
05:54:48,100 --> 05:54:50,100
weight to it.

8234
05:54:50,100 --> 05:54:53,100
I think it's -- I frankly think 225

8235
05:54:53,100 --> 05:54:55,100
requires more with respect to the

8236
05:54:55,100 --> 05:54:58,100
inspection of duty and how it's being

8237
05:54:58,100 --> 05:55:00,100
carried out, at least in good faith

8238
05:55:00,100 --> 05:55:02,100
with how 225 was written.

8239
05:55:02,100 --> 05:55:04,100
so, I really want to go ahead and talk

8240
05:55:04,100 --> 05:55:08,801
to -- I don't know, and that's the

8241
05:55:09,100 --> 05:55:10,100
other thing I have issue right now

8242
05:55:10,100 --> 05:55:11,100
with, I don't really understand would

8243
05:55:11,100 --> 05:55:12,100
who the entity is that has oversight

8244
05:55:12,100 --> 05:55:15,100
of how the commission conducts itself

8245
05:55:15,100 --> 05:55:16,100
with respect to --

8246
05:55:16,100 --> 05:55:19,601
>> we provide our reports to bscc.

8247
05:55:20,100 --> 05:55:23,100
>> okay, well, I would like to figure

8248
05:55:23,100 --> 05:55:24,100
out with county counsel how we can

8249
05:55:24,100 --> 05:55:26,100
work with you to clarify that process

8250
05:55:26,100 --> 05:55:29,100
to make your life and our life easier.

8251
05:55:29,100 --> 05:55:31,100
>> they've always -- craig

8252
05:55:31,100 --> 05:55:34,100
thompson is our representative, he's

8253
05:55:34,100 --> 05:55:36,100
been helpful and he always gives us

8254
05:55:36,100 --> 05:55:38,100
good feedback that our reports are

8255
05:55:38,100 --> 05:55:40,100
helpful and they conduct biannual,

8256
05:55:40,100 --> 05:55:42,100
every two years, and he's commented

8257
05:55:42,100 --> 05:55:44,100
our reports are very helpful to him.

8258
05:55:44,100 --> 05:55:47,100
>> I want to also be very clear, what is

8259
05:55:47,100 --> 05:55:50,100
clear to me is our professionals

8260
05:55:50,100 --> 05:55:52,100
within are doing a tremendous job in

8261
05:55:52,100 --> 05:55:54,100
difficult situations.

8262
05:55:54,100 --> 05:55:56,100
the numbers, the change, when I look

8263
05:55:56,100 --> 05:55:59,100
at the change, what happened in 2021

8264
05:55:59,100 --> 05:56:02,100
after realignment in terms of

8265
05:56:04,100 --> 05:56:06,100
incidents, how that affected our

8266
05:56:06,100 --> 05:56:09,100
professionals at the hall, realignment

8267
05:56:09,100 --> 05:56:10,100
had major impact.

8268
05:56:10,100 --> 05:56:12,100
I was looking at that chart trying to

8269
05:56:12,100 --> 05:56:15,100
figure out what it was and that's

8270
05:56:15,100 --> 05:56:17,100
exactly when realignment happened, the

8271
05:56:17,100 --> 05:56:18,100
level of offender you have seen and

8272
05:56:18,100 --> 05:56:21,100
the challenges you have seen has

8273
05:56:21,100 --> 05:56:22,100
changed significantly, so I think we

8274
05:56:22,100 --> 05:56:24,100
values to provide some empathy in that

8275
05:56:24,100 --> 05:56:27,100
circumstance and I think process will

8276
05:56:27,100 --> 05:56:29,100
help us really sort of instead of

8277
05:56:29,100 --> 05:56:32,100
having what really feels like a

8278
05:56:32,100 --> 05:56:35,100
yelling match happening here, they're

8279
05:56:35,100 --> 05:56:36,100
getting yelled at and trying to

8280
05:56:36,100 --> 05:56:38,100
respond, if we provide more process to

8281
05:56:38,100 --> 05:56:40,100
it, perhaps we can provide more

8282
05:56:40,100 --> 05:56:42,100
clarity on what needs to be addressed

8283
05:56:42,100 --> 05:56:44,100
in a way where we're not trying to

8284
05:56:44,100 --> 05:56:47,100
pull needles out of the hay stack.

8285
05:56:47,100 --> 05:56:48,100
thank you though, all, if for the

8286
05:56:48,100 --> 05:56:50,100
presentations today.

8287
05:56:50,100 --> 05:56:52,100
they were incredibly helpful and

8288
05:56:52,100 --> 05:56:54,100
trying to figure out what comes next

8289
05:56:54,100 --> 05:56:56,100
on that process perspective.

8290
05:56:56,100 --> 05:56:57,100
>> thank you, supervisor gauthier?

8291
05:56:57,100 --> 05:56:59,100
>> I want to thank you for your

8292
05:56:59,100 --> 05:57:01,100
report but I do just have some

8293
05:57:01,100 --> 05:57:04,601
questions going back to the december

8294
05:57:05,100 --> 05:57:06,100
presentation.

8295
05:57:06,100 --> 05:57:07,100
my memory serves me correctly, there

8296
05:57:07,100 --> 05:57:10,100
was 70 thousand dollars that was spent

8297
05:57:10,100 --> 05:57:13,100
that you weren't reimbursed for.

8298
05:57:13,100 --> 05:57:16,100
there's procurement question too, so

8299
05:57:16,100 --> 05:57:20,201
there's a way that the facility does

8300
05:57:21,100 --> 05:57:22,100
procurement, so you should have

8301
05:57:22,100 --> 05:57:23,100
approval before you go out and

8302
05:57:23,100 --> 05:57:24,100
purchase things, is that not the way

8303
05:57:24,100 --> 05:57:25,100
things would be set up?

8304
05:57:25,100 --> 05:57:28,100
>> I never saw reimbursement, it was

8305
05:57:28,100 --> 05:57:29,100
never my intention.

8306
05:57:29,100 --> 05:57:31,100
I just happened to mention it to day

8307
05:57:31,100 --> 05:57:35,100
vid and he was blown away by the

8308
05:57:35,100 --> 05:57:36,100
number.

8309
05:57:36,100 --> 05:57:37,100
david elevated that.

8310
05:57:37,100 --> 05:57:39,100
I was -- it waser supervisor canepa, I

8311
05:57:39,100 --> 05:57:42,100
was not looking for any reimbursement

8312
05:57:42,100 --> 05:57:43,100
whatsoever.

8313
05:57:43,100 --> 05:57:46,100
>> I'm trying to figure out the

8314
05:57:46,100 --> 05:57:47,100
procurement process for the youth that

8315
05:57:47,100 --> 05:57:49,100
were in the facility.

8316
05:57:49,100 --> 05:57:50,100
is it anybody that can go purchase

8317
05:57:50,100 --> 05:57:52,100
something on your own or should you go

8318
05:57:52,100 --> 05:57:54,100
through the facility and have a

8319
05:57:54,100 --> 05:57:55,100
procurement process.

8320
05:57:55,100 --> 05:57:57,100
if somebody needs shoes, shouldn't

8321
05:57:57,100 --> 05:57:59,100
that go through the facilities, they're

8322
05:57:59,100 --> 05:58:01,100
able to purchase shoes before

8323
05:58:01,100 --> 05:58:03,100
someone just purchases shoes and says

8324
05:58:03,100 --> 05:58:05,100
the facility isn't doing their job?

8325
05:58:05,100 --> 05:58:07,100
>> I think we're talking about a

8326
05:58:07,100 --> 05:58:08,100
bigger issue.

8327
05:58:08,100 --> 05:58:11,100
so, we're talking -- there were times

8328
05:58:11,100 --> 05:58:12,100
when eyeglasses were taking a long

8329
05:58:12,100 --> 05:58:15,100
time and I would go to costco and get

8330
05:58:15,100 --> 05:58:17,100
the prescription fill sod the kids

8331
05:58:17,100 --> 05:58:20,601
could have glasses for school, that

8332
05:58:21,100 --> 05:58:23,100
happened mull multiple times but for

8333
05:58:23,100 --> 05:58:25,100
the vast majority of incidents and

8334
05:58:25,100 --> 05:58:29,100
expenses are when they are out of the

8335
05:58:29,100 --> 05:58:30,100
facility, there's small number of kids

8336
05:58:30,100 --> 05:58:31,100
in the facility.

8337
05:58:31,100 --> 05:58:34,100
this is when they're out on the

8338
05:58:34,100 --> 05:58:35,100
street, mom's having trouble paying

8339
05:58:35,100 --> 05:58:37,100
for rent, maybe utilities are

8340
05:58:37,100 --> 05:58:39,100
getting shut off, they don't have a

8341
05:58:39,100 --> 05:58:41,100
clipper card or trance oration to get

8342
05:58:41,100 --> 05:58:43,100
to school, they don't have school

8343
05:58:43,100 --> 05:58:45,100
clothes so I just took it upon myself,

8344
05:58:45,100 --> 05:58:49,100
not in my capacity as a commissioner

8345
05:58:49,100 --> 05:58:53,201
but as human being that recognized a

8346
05:58:54,100 --> 05:58:55,100
fundamental need that I filled.

8347
05:58:55,100 --> 05:58:56,100
>> I understand, but I think it was

8348
05:58:56,100 --> 05:58:59,100
presented differently or that's the

8349
05:58:59,100 --> 05:59:00,100
way I understood it, it wasn't

8350
05:59:00,100 --> 05:59:02,100
presented that these youth were

8351
05:59:02,100 --> 05:59:04,100
outside of facility, it felt like they

8352
05:59:04,100 --> 05:59:07,100
were in the facility and they were not

8353
05:59:07,100 --> 05:59:09,100
receiving the items that they needed.

8354
05:59:09,100 --> 05:59:11,100
that's what we were trying to get to

8355
05:59:11,100 --> 05:59:12,100
the bottom of.

8356
05:59:12,100 --> 05:59:14,100
it's very different if you come in and

8357
05:59:14,100 --> 05:59:15,100
say these young people are already

8358
05:59:15,100 --> 05:59:17,100
home and I'm helping them, again in

8359
05:59:17,100 --> 05:59:19,100
december, it felt like they were in

8360
05:59:19,100 --> 05:59:22,100
the facilities and not getting shoes and

8361
05:59:22,100 --> 05:59:24,100
any other things they were getting in

8362
05:59:24,100 --> 05:59:26,100
the facility.

8363
05:59:27,100 --> 05:59:29,100
>> I appreciate for that feedback, I

8364
05:59:29,100 --> 05:59:32,100
appreciate that, I'm not used to

8365
05:59:32,100 --> 05:59:34,100
giving these presentations.

8366
05:59:34,100 --> 05:59:37,100
>> so, I do want to -- in putting

8367
05:59:37,100 --> 05:59:39,100
together this study session, we put a

8368
05:59:39,100 --> 05:59:41,100
lot of thought into making sure that

8369
05:59:41,100 --> 05:59:44,100
there would be a lot of different

8370
05:59:44,100 --> 05:59:46,100
perspectives about the entire system,

8371
05:59:46,100 --> 05:59:47,100
we have typically heard from one side

8372
05:59:47,100 --> 05:59:50,100
and I do want to acknowledge that

8373
05:59:50,100 --> 05:59:54,100
supervisor canepa was a liaison to the

8374
05:59:54,100 --> 05:59:57,100
jjdpc for many, many years and when I

8375
05:59:57,100 --> 05:59:59,100
took it over, I did so with the

8376
05:59:59,100 --> 06:00:01,100
intention of working more closely with

8377
06:00:01,100 --> 06:00:04,601
the commission, I'll be honest, you

8378
06:00:06,100 --> 06:00:08,100
may hear a sense of frustration coming

8379
06:00:08,100 --> 06:00:12,100
from me and I'll be upfront about

8380
06:00:12,100 --> 06:00:14,100
it, it is there and I won't pretend

8381
06:00:14,100 --> 06:00:15,100
it's not.

8382
06:00:15,100 --> 06:00:18,100
part of that has been something that I

8383
06:00:18,100 --> 06:00:20,100
think supervisor mueller without us

8384
06:00:20,100 --> 06:00:22,100
ever speaking about this has picked up

8385
06:00:22,100 --> 06:00:25,100
on and that is that there is a real

8386
06:00:25,100 --> 06:00:27,100
tension when it comes to this

8387
06:00:27,100 --> 06:00:28,100
commission and frankly the leadership

8388
06:00:28,100 --> 06:00:30,100
of this commission

8389
06:00:35,100 --> 06:00:37,100
and the tension and not a single

8390
06:00:37,100 --> 06:00:39,100
person interacting with

8391
06:00:39,100 --> 06:00:41,100
this commission, and I would take the

8392
06:00:41,100 --> 06:00:43,100
liberty of saying almost all community

8393
06:00:43,100 --> 06:00:46,100
partners and county departments feel

8394
06:00:47,100 --> 06:00:50,601
when trying to collaborate with this

8395
06:00:51,100 --> 06:00:52,100
commission.

8396
06:00:52,100 --> 06:00:55,100
I have been personally to several of

8397
06:00:55,100 --> 06:00:59,201
the meetings and when I have attended

8398
06:01:00,100 --> 06:01:02,100
and tried to -- as a supervisor, come

8399
06:01:02,100 --> 06:01:05,100
to this commission and tried to work

8400
06:01:05,100 --> 06:01:08,100
with this commission have felt like I

8401
06:01:08,100 --> 06:01:11,100
am being interrogated, have seen other

8402
06:01:11,100 --> 06:01:14,100
community partners be anxious about

8403
06:01:14,100 --> 06:01:15,100
speaking with the commission because

8404
06:01:15,100 --> 06:01:19,100
of that same treatment and in trying

8405
06:01:19,100 --> 06:01:21,100
to support this commission, we sent

8406
06:01:21,100 --> 06:01:25,801
out a survey about two weeks ago and

8407
06:01:26,100 --> 06:01:29,100
this survey was I would say very

8408
06:01:29,100 --> 06:01:31,100
open-ended, where do you need more

8409
06:01:31,100 --> 06:01:33,100
training, where do you need support,

8410
06:01:33,100 --> 06:01:36,100
do you understand the mission of your

8411
06:01:36,100 --> 06:01:39,100
commission, do you understand -- like,

8412
06:01:39,100 --> 06:01:44,100
do you need like -- you know, what are

8413
06:01:44,100 --> 06:01:46,100
areas you want to explore more, what

8414
06:01:46,100 --> 06:01:48,100
are things you need.

8415
06:01:48,100 --> 06:01:50,100
we haven't gotten a single response

8416
06:01:50,100 --> 06:01:54,100
back and my understanding is that it

8417
06:01:54,100 --> 06:01:57,100
has been -- there have been meetings

8418
06:01:57,100 --> 06:01:58,100
potentially in violation of the brown

8419
06:01:58,100 --> 06:02:01,601
act happening to discuss this survey

8420
06:02:03,100 --> 06:02:06,100
and to have one single response from

8421
06:02:06,100 --> 06:02:08,100
the entire commission instead of

8422
06:02:08,100 --> 06:02:11,100
commissioners engaging in just a

8423
06:02:11,100 --> 06:02:12,100
genuine feedback process and working

8424
06:02:12,100 --> 06:02:15,601
with the board and that's problematic.

8425
06:02:16,100 --> 06:02:18,100
it really is.

8426
06:02:18,100 --> 06:02:21,100
I want this commission to work

8427
06:02:21,100 --> 06:02:24,100
collaboratively and to serve young

8428
06:02:24,100 --> 06:02:27,100
people in true partnership with every

8429
06:02:27,100 --> 06:02:28,100
other community partner.

8430
06:02:28,100 --> 06:02:29,100
I think it's possible.

8431
06:02:29,100 --> 06:02:32,100
I want us to get there.

8432
06:02:32,100 --> 06:02:34,100
and I was hoping that during this

8433
06:02:34,100 --> 06:02:37,100
presentation, that we could put some

8434
06:02:37,100 --> 06:02:41,801
of the digs aside but I believe they

8435
06:02:43,100 --> 06:02:46,100
still have come up and it makes me

8436
06:02:46,100 --> 06:02:49,100
feel a little defensive and I think

8437
06:02:49,100 --> 06:02:52,100
that's what has come up.

8438
06:02:53,100 --> 06:02:56,100
>> supervisor, if I could address the

8439
06:02:56,100 --> 06:02:57,100
survey.

8440
06:02:57,100 --> 06:02:58,100
we met as a juvenile justice

8441
06:02:58,100 --> 06:02:59,100
commission which is not -- doesn't

8442
06:02:59,100 --> 06:03:02,100
have to comply with the brown act to

8443
06:03:02,100 --> 06:03:03,100
decide how --

8444
06:03:03,100 --> 06:03:05,100
>> but there is no juvenile justice

8445
06:03:05,100 --> 06:03:07,401
commission, there's a jjdpc,.

8446
06:03:08,100 --> 06:03:10,100
>> we're two separate bodies with

8447
06:03:10,100 --> 06:03:13,100
two separate mandates but we also hold

8448
06:03:13,100 --> 06:03:16,100
separate meetings as a jjc and we have

8449
06:03:16,100 --> 06:03:19,100
done that and we hold closed sessions,

8450
06:03:19,100 --> 06:03:21,100
some jjc's only meet in private so we

8451
06:03:21,100 --> 06:03:24,100
did not violate the brown act but this

8452
06:03:24,100 --> 06:03:27,100
was -- the survey came as joint

8453
06:03:27,100 --> 06:03:28,100
commission survey, so we needed to

8454
06:03:28,100 --> 06:03:30,100
look at what that was going to look

8455
06:03:30,100 --> 06:03:33,100
like because it was an evaluation of

8456
06:03:33,100 --> 06:03:36,601
-- it wasn't specific about which

8457
06:03:37,100 --> 06:03:39,100
mandates and responsibilities it was

8458
06:03:39,100 --> 06:03:41,100
seeking information for, so it's on

8459
06:03:41,100 --> 06:03:44,100
our agenda for tonight because we can

8460
06:03:44,100 --> 06:03:47,100
-- now that the jjc has decided this

8461
06:03:47,100 --> 06:03:50,100
needs to be a delinquency

8462
06:03:50,100 --> 06:03:52,100
prevention survey, we can only discuss

8463
06:03:52,100 --> 06:03:54,100
it in public under delinquency

8464
06:03:54,100 --> 06:03:55,100
prevention and it's on tonight's

8465
06:03:55,100 --> 06:03:58,100
agenda, so we try very hard to comply

8466
06:03:58,100 --> 06:04:00,100
with the rules.

8467
06:04:00,100 --> 06:04:03,100
and I apologize if my words come

8468
06:04:03,100 --> 06:04:04,100
across as digs.

8469
06:04:04,100 --> 06:04:09,100
to me, they are truth and to me, I

8470
06:04:09,100 --> 06:04:12,100
speak them, I bring them here because

8471
06:04:12,100 --> 06:04:14,100
I'm concerned.

8472
06:04:15,100 --> 06:04:18,601
>> madam president, can we move on.

8473
06:04:19,100 --> 06:04:21,100
>> yes, let's move on.

8474
06:04:21,100 --> 06:04:25,801
>> we now will welcome fly and live in

8475
06:04:27,100 --> 06:04:29,100
peace and then I think chief keene

8476
06:04:29,100 --> 06:04:30,100
wants to close us out.

8477
06:04:30,100 --> 06:04:35,401
so I don't have names for -- yeah, we

8478
06:04:38,100 --> 06:04:39,100
have public comment as well.

8479
06:04:39,100 --> 06:04:40,100
welcome, sorry.

8480
06:04:40,100 --> 06:04:42,100
>> no, I'm good.

8481
06:04:43,100 --> 06:04:45,100
alright.

8482
06:04:46,100 --> 06:04:48,100
hi, I am melissa pulling and I'm the

8483
06:04:48,100 --> 06:04:49,100
managing director of innovation at fly

8484
06:04:49,100 --> 06:04:52,100
or fresh lifelines for youth, on a

8485
06:04:52,100 --> 06:04:56,100
personal note, I'm going to make this

8486
06:04:56,100 --> 06:04:59,100
the fastest version of what fly does in

8487
06:04:59,100 --> 06:05:02,601
history, fly, if you will, we

8488
06:05:03,100 --> 06:05:05,100
do a lot in san mateo county and have

8489
06:05:05,100 --> 06:05:07,100
for many years and we'll do an

8490
06:05:07,100 --> 06:05:08,100
overview in this presentation.

8491
06:05:08,100 --> 06:05:10,100
aim born and raised in san mateo

8492
06:05:10,100 --> 06:05:11,100
county and honored and privileged to

8493
06:05:11,100 --> 06:05:15,100
have done this work for as long as I

8494
06:05:15,100 --> 06:05:17,100
have.

8495
06:05:19,100 --> 06:05:20,100
okay.

8496
06:05:20,100 --> 06:05:22,100
fresh lifelines for youth or fly is a

8497
06:05:22,100 --> 06:05:25,601
non-profit and has been operating --

8498
06:05:29,100 --> 06:05:32,601
it started in 2000 down the road.

8499
06:05:33,100 --> 06:05:36,100
this is to disrupt the pipeline to

8500
06:05:36,100 --> 06:05:37,100
prison and advance justice in

8501
06:05:37,100 --> 06:05:38,100
california and beyond.

8502
06:05:38,100 --> 06:05:42,100
this is what we do every day, these

8503
06:05:42,100 --> 06:05:44,100
are our young people, this is what

8504
06:05:44,100 --> 06:05:47,100
we're in the pursuit of excellence for.

8505
06:05:47,100 --> 06:05:51,100
we are in five counties across the bay,

8506
06:05:51,100 --> 06:05:52,100
I'm speaking specifically about san

8507
06:05:52,100 --> 06:05:54,100
mateo county.

8508
06:05:54,100 --> 06:05:57,100
this is a rudimentary school to prison

8509
06:05:57,100 --> 06:05:58,100
pipeline, you can see in san mateo

8510
06:05:58,100 --> 06:06:00,100
county, we have six different

8511
06:06:00,100 --> 06:06:02,100
programs that are meant to be offer

8512
06:06:02,100 --> 06:06:03,100
ramps of this pipeline.

8513
06:06:03,100 --> 06:06:05,100
the first three are specifically

8514
06:06:05,100 --> 06:06:07,100
prevention programs, we want young

8515
06:06:07,100 --> 06:06:08,100
people to interact with us here to

8516
06:06:08,100 --> 06:06:10,100
never enter the system at all.

8517
06:06:10,100 --> 06:06:11,100
this is where we serve a large

8518
06:06:11,100 --> 06:06:15,201
majority of our young people and the

8519
06:06:16,100 --> 06:06:17,100
leadership programs, the last three

8520
06:06:17,100 --> 06:06:21,100
entry reps are all programs and run

8521
06:06:21,100 --> 06:06:22,100
as interventions when young people

8522
06:06:22,100 --> 06:06:24,100
have come across with the pipeline.

8523
06:06:24,100 --> 06:06:27,100
we served over 750 young people last

8524
06:06:27,100 --> 06:06:28,100
year alone in this county

8525
06:06:28,100 --> 06:06:30,401
specifically, there's some outcomes

8526
06:06:33,100 --> 06:06:34,100
we're proud of.

8527
06:06:34,100 --> 06:06:35,100
not because of fly necessarily but

8528
06:06:35,100 --> 06:06:36,100
because of the young people and the

8529
06:06:36,100 --> 06:06:38,100
work that shows the work they've put

8530
06:06:38,100 --> 06:06:40,100
in, these are assessments to show

8531
06:06:40,100 --> 06:06:44,100
reduction of need, a lack of new

8532
06:06:44,100 --> 06:06:46,100
charges, recidivism, increase in their

8533
06:06:46,100 --> 06:06:48,100
educational goals and building their

8534
06:06:48,100 --> 06:06:50,100
social and emotional skills.

8535
06:06:50,100 --> 06:06:53,100
I'll just put this slide up briefly,

8536
06:06:53,100 --> 06:06:55,100
just to show we partner across the

8537
06:06:55,100 --> 06:06:57,100
entire county.

8538
06:06:57,100 --> 06:06:58,100
we are everywhere as you can see,

8539
06:06:58,100 --> 06:07:00,100
there's a long list of partners, we

8540
06:07:00,100 --> 06:07:02,100
partner with most schools, most

8541
06:07:02,100 --> 06:07:04,100
continuation schools and

8542
06:07:04,100 --> 06:07:06,100
traditional high schools to offer

8543
06:07:06,100 --> 06:07:08,100
programming, college campuses,

8544
06:07:08,100 --> 06:07:11,100
juvenile hall and the jails across the

8545
06:07:11,100 --> 06:07:12,100
entire county.

8546
06:07:12,100 --> 06:07:15,100
we are in a lot of places.

8547
06:07:15,100 --> 06:07:16,100
okay.

8548
06:07:16,100 --> 06:07:17,100
I'm going to start not at the

8549
06:07:17,100 --> 06:07:19,100
beginning but at the reentry program

8550
06:07:19,100 --> 06:07:20,100
because there's been discussion of

8551
06:07:20,100 --> 06:07:21,100
that.

8552
06:07:21,100 --> 06:07:23,100
pride does become a program for our

8553
06:07:23,100 --> 06:07:25,100
young people levering the institution.

8554
06:07:25,100 --> 06:07:28,100
they have spent time in juvenile hall,

8555
06:07:28,100 --> 06:07:30,100
the age range from 12-18, anybody that

8556
06:07:30,100 --> 06:07:33,100
spent my time there has access to our

8557
06:07:33,100 --> 06:07:36,100
programing and they receive a

8558
06:07:36,100 --> 06:07:38,100
professional coach to work with them

8559
06:07:38,100 --> 06:07:40,100
and develop plans based on what

8560
06:07:40,100 --> 06:07:42,100
their needs are and what their goals

8561
06:07:42,100 --> 06:07:44,100
are and they meet with professional

8562
06:07:44,100 --> 06:07:47,601
coaches to have their needs met.

8563
06:07:48,100 --> 06:07:49,100
it was mentioned a certain number of

8564
06:07:49,100 --> 06:07:51,100
hours and time spent with them.

8565
06:07:51,100 --> 06:07:54,100
we have minimum requirements that are

8566
06:07:54,100 --> 06:07:56,100
deliverables for our staff, if a young

8567
06:07:56,100 --> 06:07:58,100
person needs more time than that, had

8568
06:07:58,100 --> 06:08:00,100
that they cannot have that, I have

8569
06:08:00,100 --> 06:08:02,100
never said that.

8570
06:08:02,100 --> 06:08:04,100
we do individualized coach management

8571
06:08:04,100 --> 06:08:06,100
and we give the time with their coach

8572
06:08:06,100 --> 06:08:08,100
in order to get whatever they need

8573
06:08:08,100 --> 06:08:10,100
from the program, that's entering into

8574
06:08:10,100 --> 06:08:13,100
school or basic needs support or post

8575
06:08:13,100 --> 06:08:15,100
secondary, we meet them where they are

8576
06:08:15,100 --> 06:08:17,100
and focus on individual case

8577
06:08:17,100 --> 06:08:18,100
management.

8578
06:08:18,100 --> 06:08:20,100
they have access to a career pathways

8579
06:08:20,100 --> 06:08:22,100
navigator, that is there for

8580
06:08:22,100 --> 06:08:24,100
educational support and exposure to

8581
06:08:24,100 --> 06:08:26,100
different career paths so they have

8582
06:08:26,100 --> 06:08:28,100
access to the professional coach and

8583
06:08:28,100 --> 06:08:30,100
that person.

8584
06:08:30,100 --> 06:08:34,201
okay, we also have our reps program,

8585
06:08:35,100 --> 06:08:36,100
this is for young people in custody in

8586
06:08:36,100 --> 06:08:38,100
the sytf unit, they are also given a

8587
06:08:38,100 --> 06:08:40,100
professional coach that does one on

8588
06:08:40,100 --> 06:08:42,100
one in custody case management.

8589
06:08:42,100 --> 06:08:45,100
that is pivot for fly, we've never

8590
06:08:45,100 --> 06:08:48,601
done in custody coaching before, sytf

8591
06:08:49,100 --> 06:08:51,100
never existed before.

8592
06:08:51,100 --> 06:08:52,100
the coaches work with the young people

8593
06:08:52,100 --> 06:08:55,100
on building their social, emotional

8594
06:08:56,100 --> 06:08:58,100
skills, they receive workshops once a

8595
06:08:58,100 --> 06:08:59,100
week towards professional development

8596
06:08:59,100 --> 06:09:02,100
and life skillets and cockering from

8597
06:09:02,100 --> 06:09:03,100
other staff members and we have other

8598
06:09:03,100 --> 06:09:06,100
professionals come in and talk to them

8599
06:09:06,100 --> 06:09:07,100
about what their industries are like

8600
06:09:07,100 --> 06:09:09,100
and they can interview them and ask

8601
06:09:09,100 --> 06:09:11,100
them questions, this program has

8602
06:09:11,100 --> 06:09:12,100
been built within the last several

8603
06:09:12,100 --> 06:09:14,100
years and has expanded their

8604
06:09:14,100 --> 06:09:16,100
services with the recent contract and

8605
06:09:16,100 --> 06:09:19,601
we also can serve 707 offenses that

8606
06:09:20,100 --> 06:09:22,100
are not in the security treatment

8607
06:09:22,100 --> 06:09:23,100
facility as well.

8608
06:09:23,100 --> 06:09:25,100
we're going to have the capacity to do

8609
06:09:25,100 --> 06:09:28,100
that and to both programs with this

8610
06:09:28,100 --> 06:09:30,100
new contract, we're adding a credible

8611
06:09:30,100 --> 06:09:32,100
messaging mentoring component.

8612
06:09:55,100 --> 06:09:56,100
we're adding on this additional level

8613
06:09:56,100 --> 06:09:58,100
of programming and we're excited to

8614
06:09:58,100 --> 06:10:00,100
build that out this year, we're about

8615
06:10:00,100 --> 06:10:02,100
six years in, we're excited to start

8616
06:10:02,100 --> 06:10:04,100
matching young people and dinging this

8617
06:10:04,100 --> 06:10:07,100
intervention to really support the

8618
06:10:08,100 --> 06:10:10,100
most vulnerable young people, the

8619
06:10:10,100 --> 06:10:12,100
highest need.

8620
06:10:12,100 --> 06:10:15,100
our law program, that is where young

8621
06:10:15,100 --> 06:10:18,100
people are in the school sites, we

8622
06:10:18,100 --> 06:10:20,100
facilitate a 12 week curriculum, ron

8623
06:10:20,100 --> 06:10:22,100
mentioned that most people don't know

8624
06:10:22,100 --> 06:10:25,100
what the miranda rights are and we

8625
06:10:25,100 --> 06:10:28,601
hope hundreds of people around the

8626
06:10:29,100 --> 06:10:31,100
country know, what young people's

8627
06:10:31,100 --> 06:10:33,100
rights are, the laws and how young

8628
06:10:33,100 --> 06:10:35,100
people can be advocates themselves for

8629
06:10:35,100 --> 06:10:37,100
the changes they want to see in their

8630
06:10:37,100 --> 06:10:40,100
community, that's what that program

8631
06:10:40,100 --> 06:10:42,100
does, it's our largest touch

8632
06:10:42,100 --> 06:10:44,100
program, we serve the most young

8633
06:10:44,100 --> 06:10:45,100
people.

8634
06:10:45,100 --> 06:10:46,100
peer point is a diversion program,

8635
06:10:46,100 --> 06:10:48,100
this is offered at schools and through

8636
06:10:48,100 --> 06:10:51,100
police departments, that is meant to

8637
06:10:51,100 --> 06:10:52,100
offer alternative suspension or

8638
06:10:52,100 --> 06:10:54,100
arrests, it's true diversion in the

8639
06:10:54,100 --> 06:10:57,100
sense that young people instead of

8640
06:10:57,100 --> 06:10:59,100
being suspended, they will do

8641
06:10:59,100 --> 06:11:00,100
restorative circles with their peers,

8642
06:11:00,100 --> 06:11:03,100
foes can you on accountability,

8643
06:11:04,100 --> 06:11:05,100
healing and approach, that's men to

8644
06:11:05,100 --> 06:11:08,100
divert from the system in the schools,

8645
06:11:08,100 --> 06:11:10,100
that's primarily our focus right now,

8646
06:11:10,100 --> 06:11:11,100
police departments have been trickier,

8647
06:11:11,100 --> 06:11:15,100
we're open to it, but we're focusing

8648
06:11:15,100 --> 06:11:17,100
on the school prevention aspect of

8649
06:11:17,100 --> 06:11:18,100
things.

8650
06:11:18,100 --> 06:11:19,100
I will mention that the a former

8651
06:11:19,100 --> 06:11:22,100
commission on the jjdpc did find this

8652
06:11:22,100 --> 06:11:24,100
opportunity for us and really

8653
06:11:24,100 --> 06:11:27,100
developed it and we were entrusted to

8654
06:11:27,100 --> 06:11:29,100
provide the programming and have done

8655
06:11:29,100 --> 06:11:31,100
so, that funding is no longer

8656
06:11:31,100 --> 06:11:33,100
there, we have found ways to scale it

8657
06:11:33,100 --> 06:11:35,100
through the dedication partnerships

8658
06:11:35,100 --> 06:11:37,100
and just the commitment of the fly

8659
06:11:37,100 --> 06:11:39,100
team itself.

8660
06:11:39,100 --> 06:11:41,100
and last lay is our leadership program

8661
06:11:41,100 --> 06:11:43,100
which is 26 young people that work

8662
06:11:43,100 --> 06:11:45,100
with a coacher throughout the school

8663
06:11:45,100 --> 06:11:47,100
year, they build their leadership

8664
06:11:47,100 --> 06:11:50,601
skills and learn on world issues,

8665
06:11:51,100 --> 06:11:53,100
they receive one on one coaching, we

8666
06:11:53,100 --> 06:11:55,100
have a fun retreat as well.

8667
06:11:55,100 --> 06:11:58,100
that is all I have, I'll leave you

8668
06:11:58,100 --> 06:12:00,100
with some youth quotes, I promised

8669
06:12:00,100 --> 06:12:02,100
that was fast as I could do it.

8670
06:12:02,100 --> 06:12:05,100
>> that was really fast and I want to

8671
06:12:05,100 --> 06:12:07,100
appreciate it, I appreciate your team,

8672
06:12:07,100 --> 06:12:09,100
I was like who are those people.

8673
06:12:09,100 --> 06:12:11,100
I saw some of them in the pictures.

8674
06:12:11,100 --> 06:12:13,100
>> I had a question about something

8675
06:12:13,100 --> 06:12:17,100
that I saw but I'm -- did you have any

8676
06:12:17,100 --> 06:12:18,100
questions?

8677
06:12:18,100 --> 06:12:19,100
do my colleagues have questions?

8678
06:12:19,100 --> 06:12:23,100
one of your programs -- I can't

8679
06:12:23,100 --> 06:12:24,100
remember, I was going to say if you

8680
06:12:24,100 --> 06:12:27,100
need help connecting with any police

8681
06:12:27,100 --> 06:12:30,100
departments, every supervisor here has

8682
06:12:30,100 --> 06:12:32,100
connections to polices departments and

8683
06:12:32,100 --> 06:12:36,801
we would love -- well, I'll speak for

8684
06:12:37,100 --> 06:12:40,100
myself, I'll take what I heard earlier

8685
06:12:40,100 --> 06:12:42,100
today to heart, yeah.

8686
06:12:42,100 --> 06:12:45,601
>> especially if they don't have their

8687
06:12:47,100 --> 06:12:48,100
own diversion, it is a great

8688
06:12:48,100 --> 06:12:49,100
opportunity for us, we're doing that.

8689
06:12:49,100 --> 06:12:52,100
if anybody knows any credible

8690
06:12:52,100 --> 06:12:54,100
messenger mentors, people that would

8691
06:12:54,100 --> 06:12:57,100
like to give back to the community, find

8692
06:12:57,100 --> 06:12:58,100
us.

8693
06:12:58,100 --> 06:12:59,100
>> okay.

8694
06:12:59,100 --> 06:13:01,100
>> thank you so much.

8695
06:13:01,100 --> 06:13:02,100
supervisor gauthier?

8696
06:13:02,100 --> 06:13:03,100
>> through the

8697
06:13:03,100 --> 06:13:04,100

8706
06:13:22,100 --> 06:13:24,100
impact you're having on young people

8707
06:13:24,100 --> 06:13:27,100
on their lives, they're graduating

8708
06:13:27,100 --> 06:13:29,100
from college similar to live in peace

8709
06:13:29,100 --> 06:13:31,100

06:13:31,100 --> 06:13:32,100
their lives so thank you for being at

8711
06:13:32,100 --> 06:13:34,100

>> thank you.

8716
06:13:39,100 --> 06:13:40,100
>> I know what I was going to say

8717
06:13:40,100 --> 06:13:41,100
earlier.

8718
06:13:41,100 --> 06:13:44,100
I wanted to say thank you, like, when

8719
06:13:44,100 --> 06:13:47,100
we hear things like our youth don't

8720
06:13:47,100 --> 06:13:49,100
get services, this is a service that

8721
06:13:49,100 --> 06:13:53,100
our youth get that probation has a

8722
06:13:53,100 --> 06:13:57,100
contract with that is amazing and is

8723
06:13:57,100 --> 06:13:59,100
worthy of respect and is worthy of

8724
06:13:59,100 --> 06:14:02,601
celebration, so thank you and, you

8725
06:14:04,100 --> 06:14:06,401
know, culturally, like, competent

8726
06:14:07,100 --> 06:14:08,100
services are -- they're not always

8727
06:14:08,100 --> 06:14:11,601
there and when they are, they're

8728
06:14:12,100 --> 06:14:14,100
extremely valuable and that lived

8729
06:14:14,100 --> 06:14:15,100
experience is gold to these young

8730
06:14:15,100 --> 06:14:16,100
people.

8731
06:14:16,100 --> 06:14:18,100
thank you, supervisor mueller?

8732
06:14:18,100 --> 06:14:21,100
>> I saw you like about to click.

8733
06:14:21,100 --> 06:14:22,100
okay.

8734
06:14:22,100 --> 06:14:23,100
thank you.

8735
06:14:23,100 --> 06:14:24,100
thank you so much.

8736
06:14:24,100 --> 06:14:25,100
>> thank you.

8737
06:14:25,100 --> 06:14:28,100
>> I think we have live in peace up

8738
06:14:28,100 --> 06:14:30,100
next.

8739
06:14:31,100 --> 06:14:33,100
welcome.

8740
06:14:34,100 --> 06:14:36,100
>> hello.

8741
06:14:36,100 --> 06:14:38,100
thank you, guys, I know -- I probably

8742
06:14:38,100 --> 06:14:41,100
won't be that quick, that was

8743
06:14:41,100 --> 06:14:44,601
impressive, but I'm dr. Sterns lagwood

8744
06:14:45,100 --> 06:14:49,100
from live in peace, I live and

8745
06:14:49,100 --> 06:14:53,201
breathe east palo alto, menlo park and

8746
06:14:54,100 --> 06:14:57,100
redwood city, eugene jackson is down

8747
06:14:57,100 --> 06:14:59,100
there, I'm going to be the speaker.

8748
06:14:59,100 --> 06:15:03,100
live in peace, our mission is just to

8749
06:15:03,100 --> 06:15:05,100
help young people reclaim the vision

8750
06:15:05,100 --> 06:15:07,100
for their future, we do that by

8751
06:15:07,100 --> 06:15:10,100
removing barriers giving access, by

8752
06:15:12,100 --> 06:15:15,100
pushing people forward to be their

8753
06:15:15,100 --> 06:15:16,100
best personal self.

8754
06:15:16,100 --> 06:15:19,100
I think our secret sauce, we're

8755
06:15:19,100 --> 06:15:21,100
similar to fly in some ways, our

8756
06:15:21,100 --> 06:15:24,100
secret size is our staff.

8757
06:15:24,100 --> 06:15:27,100
that's the next -- our staff are from

8758
06:15:27,100 --> 06:15:31,100
east palo alto, from menlo park and from

8759
06:15:31,100 --> 06:15:33,100
redwood city, born and raised, I'm the

8760
06:15:33,100 --> 06:15:36,100
newest member and I'm from 1987, so

8761
06:15:36,100 --> 06:15:40,801
I've put some work in myself so,, we

8762
06:15:42,100 --> 06:15:43,100
are previously incarcerated, we are

8763
06:15:43,100 --> 06:15:46,100
college edge skates, we are social

8764
06:15:46,100 --> 06:15:50,100
workers, we are -- we represent our

8765
06:15:50,100 --> 06:15:52,100
community and we know the kids before we

8766
06:15:52,100 --> 06:15:54,100
go in, we know their families, we know

8767
06:15:54,100 --> 06:15:56,100
them while they're in and we know when

8768
06:15:56,100 --> 06:15:57,100
they get out.

8769
06:15:57,100 --> 06:16:00,100
I think we are famously a wrap around

8770
06:16:00,100 --> 06:16:03,100
service in ways that only people that

8771
06:16:03,100 --> 06:16:06,100
live -- it's personal for us.

8772
06:16:06,100 --> 06:16:07,100
>> it's personal when you don't make

8773
06:16:07,100 --> 06:16:10,100
it because you're our neighbor, you're

8774
06:16:10,100 --> 06:16:12,100
our god son, you're our friend, so

8775
06:16:12,100 --> 06:16:13,100
we're committed to this and we love

8776
06:16:13,100 --> 06:16:16,100
working with the juvenile hall.

8777
06:16:17,100 --> 06:16:19,401
just some quick things.

8778
06:16:20,100 --> 06:16:24,801
we are -- we focus on young people

8779
06:16:25,100 --> 06:16:26,100
that have no been served by other

8780
06:16:26,100 --> 06:16:28,100
communities, by other organizations.

8781
06:16:28,100 --> 06:16:31,100
live in peace comes out of rest in

8782
06:16:31,100 --> 06:16:33,100
peace, we realize that our young

8783
06:16:33,100 --> 06:16:35,100
people knew how to celebrate death and

8784
06:16:35,100 --> 06:16:39,100
knew what to do when kids got out,

8785
06:16:39,100 --> 06:16:41,100
their friends got out of prison, but

8786
06:16:41,100 --> 06:16:44,100
they didn't know thousand live -- how

8787
06:16:44,100 --> 06:16:46,100
to live in peace, so everything we do

8788
06:16:46,100 --> 06:16:48,100
is based out of the concept that

8789
06:16:48,100 --> 06:16:50,100
alive and free is baseline and we know

8790
06:16:50,100 --> 06:16:53,100
how to get you there, we know how to

8791
06:16:53,100 --> 06:16:54,100
give you good information, good advice

8792
06:16:54,100 --> 06:16:58,100
and we'll walk with you until you

8793
06:16:58,100 --> 06:16:59,100
figure it out yourself.

8794
06:16:59,100 --> 06:17:02,100
we have long term over 40 years

8795
06:17:02,100 --> 06:17:04,100
experience, we're deeply rooted but I

8796
06:17:04,100 --> 06:17:06,100
think the other thing is we were

8797
06:17:06,100 --> 06:17:08,100
designed to intersect with systems so

8798
06:17:08,100 --> 06:17:10,100
we know what we do as a non-profit, we

8799
06:17:10,100 --> 06:17:14,801
get in the little crevices, we knee a

8800
06:17:16,100 --> 06:17:18,100
school cannot do all that or juvenile

8801
06:17:18,100 --> 06:17:21,100
hall, but we intersect as a community

8802
06:17:21,100 --> 06:17:23,100
where they cannot do it so that's why

8803
06:17:23,100 --> 06:17:26,100
we believe in a partnership between

8804
06:17:26,100 --> 06:17:28,100
non-profits and systems are legally

8805
06:17:28,100 --> 06:17:31,100
important and I will say I don't know

8806
06:17:31,100 --> 06:17:33,100
anybody that's doing it better than

8807
06:17:33,100 --> 06:17:35,100
them right now.

8808
06:17:37,100 --> 06:17:40,100
these are our programs and I'll

8809
06:17:40,100 --> 06:17:42,100
highlight a few of them, all are based

8810
06:17:42,100 --> 06:17:45,100
on young people that historically do

8811
06:17:45,100 --> 06:17:48,100
not make -- swag is something that

8812
06:17:48,100 --> 06:17:50,100
mike callagy and live in peace and a

8813
06:17:50,100 --> 06:17:52,100
couple of others from east palo alto

8814
06:17:52,100 --> 06:17:55,100
came up with connie back there, but to

8815
06:17:55,100 --> 06:17:58,601
date, we have 99% graduation rate of

8816
06:18:02,100 --> 06:18:04,100
high-schoolers and these are young

8817
06:18:04,100 --> 06:18:06,100
people that are justice involved, they

8818
06:18:06,100 --> 06:18:09,100
are reentry, they are suspended and

8819
06:18:09,100 --> 06:18:11,100
we're incredibly proud of that and

8820
06:18:11,100 --> 06:18:14,100
that's the kids coming in and out of

8821
06:18:14,100 --> 06:18:17,100
juvenile hall, that's why we work well

8822
06:18:17,100 --> 06:18:19,100
with mill crest and with san mateo

8823
06:18:19,100 --> 06:18:21,100
county of education, we have a gap

8824
06:18:21,100 --> 06:18:25,100
year, we have trades, so if you're not

8825
06:18:25,100 --> 06:18:27,100
ready -- if -- trades is not just

8826
06:18:27,100 --> 06:18:29,100
being ready to not go to college, hell,

8827
06:18:29,100 --> 06:18:31,100
you have a good opportunity to make a

8828
06:18:31,100 --> 06:18:34,100
lot of money and so we have a pretty

8829
06:18:34,100 --> 06:18:35,100
robust trades program.

8830
06:18:35,100 --> 06:18:37,100
we have a college and career program

8831
06:18:37,100 --> 06:18:39,100
where we do almost a million dollars

8832
06:18:39,100 --> 06:18:43,100
of scholarships every year and we have

8833
06:18:43,100 --> 06:18:46,100
an 88% graduation rate and 14% is the

8834
06:18:46,100 --> 06:18:49,100
national average of this demographic,

8835
06:18:49,100 --> 06:18:52,100
so, I would like to take all the

8836
06:18:52,100 --> 06:18:54,100
credit but it's our secret sauce that

8837
06:18:54,100 --> 06:18:57,100
does the work and we're proud of it.

8838
06:18:57,100 --> 06:19:01,801
we also just for who we are, we

8839
06:19:02,100 --> 06:19:06,201
started a bike shop and our kids

8840
06:19:07,100 --> 06:19:09,100
started getting -- intersecting with

8841
06:19:09,100 --> 06:19:10,100
the polices because of bikes, we would

8842
06:19:10,100 --> 06:19:13,100
start a bike shop, the kids would

8843
06:19:13,100 --> 06:19:16,601
bring the facebook bikes there, we

8844
06:19:18,100 --> 06:19:19,100
would get them a different bike but

8845
06:19:19,100 --> 06:19:21,100
then it became -- it was great,

8846
06:19:21,100 --> 06:19:23,100
facebook loved us too for that, but

8847
06:19:23,100 --> 06:19:25,100
also we now train young people how to

8848
06:19:25,100 --> 06:19:28,100
work on bikes and we serve the whole

8849
06:19:28,100 --> 06:19:30,100
community and we have kids that are

8850
06:19:30,100 --> 06:19:34,100
now college and they are working at

8851
06:19:34,100 --> 06:19:36,100
their colleges on bikes, so we have a

8852
06:19:36,100 --> 06:19:38,100
lot of things we do.

8853
06:19:38,100 --> 06:19:41,100
we'll go to the next one.

8854
06:19:41,100 --> 06:19:43,100
our tag line is when you see yourself

8855
06:19:43,100 --> 06:19:45,100
in the future, you make decisions to

8856
06:19:45,100 --> 06:19:46,100
get there.

8857
06:19:46,100 --> 06:19:48,100
that's a lot of what we're doing is

8858
06:19:48,100 --> 06:19:50,100
we're helping young people see

8859
06:19:50,100 --> 06:19:51,100
themselves for their beauty and their

8860
06:19:51,100 --> 06:19:53,100
power and it doesn't matter where you

8861
06:19:53,100 --> 06:19:56,100
are, if you're in juvenile hall, you're

8862
06:19:56,100 --> 06:19:58,100
in juvenile hall, if you're out,

8863
06:19:58,100 --> 06:19:59,100
you're out.

8864
06:19:59,100 --> 06:20:02,100
every single young person -- nobody

8865
06:20:02,100 --> 06:20:04,100
removed going to juvenile hall or jail

8866
06:20:04,100 --> 06:20:07,100
for life, it's a process after

8867
06:20:07,100 --> 06:20:09,100
decision after decision and so if we

8868
06:20:09,100 --> 06:20:11,100
can intersect these decisions and

8869
06:20:11,100 --> 06:20:14,100
intersect the person -- I was just at

8870
06:20:14,100 --> 06:20:18,100
csm today, one of the kids that's out,

8871
06:20:18,100 --> 06:20:21,100
he came, he's like, hey, miss, you see

8872
06:20:21,100 --> 06:20:23,100
me as a college student, I'm like,

8873
06:20:23,100 --> 06:20:25,100
hey, boy, I see you.

8874
06:20:25,100 --> 06:20:27,100
where I last saw him was in juvenile

8875
06:20:27,100 --> 06:20:31,100
hall but he's trance sighing to see

8876
06:20:31,100 --> 06:20:33,100
himself as college students, we know

8877
06:20:33,100 --> 06:20:35,100
that's so important, we wrap around

8878
06:20:35,100 --> 06:20:37,100
students, we provide financial services,

8879
06:20:37,100 --> 06:20:38,100
we provide pretty much anything that

8880
06:20:38,100 --> 06:20:40,100
they need.

8881
06:20:43,100 --> 06:20:46,100
okay, so we're also in the hall, we

8882
06:20:46,100 --> 06:20:49,100
are there five days as week with six

8883
06:20:49,100 --> 06:20:52,100
staff, eugene is there, he's the big

8884
06:20:52,100 --> 06:20:55,100
dog, and I think he brings in the live

8885
06:20:55,100 --> 06:20:58,100
in peace spirit where we're just

8886
06:20:58,100 --> 06:21:01,601
constantly working to serve the system

8887
06:21:02,100 --> 06:21:04,100
that is -- it really has the challenge

8888
06:21:04,100 --> 06:21:06,100
of keeping kids safe, keeping the

8889
06:21:06,100 --> 06:21:09,100
community safe, helping rehab young

8890
06:21:09,100 --> 06:21:12,100
people and so what we do in juvenile

8891
06:21:12,100 --> 06:21:15,100
hall is we life coach, we work on the

8892
06:21:15,100 --> 06:21:17,100
individual plans.

8893
06:21:19,100 --> 06:21:22,100
we do aod, alcohol and drug with

8894
06:21:22,100 --> 06:21:23,100
mindfulness, we do workforce

8895
06:21:23,100 --> 06:21:26,601
development so they're ready when they

8896
06:21:27,100 --> 06:21:29,100
get out.

8897
06:21:30,100 --> 06:21:33,100
they have skills, interviews capacity,

8898
06:21:34,100 --> 06:21:35,100
the most exciting thing we're doing is

8899
06:21:35,100 --> 06:21:37,100
we brought in a construction team

8900
06:21:37,100 --> 06:21:40,100
where our young people are learning to

8901
06:21:40,100 --> 06:21:44,201
three days a week, they are planning

8902
06:21:45,100 --> 06:21:46,100
and building projects and they're

8903
06:21:46,100 --> 06:21:50,100
learning how to use all the tools,

8904
06:21:50,100 --> 06:21:53,100
they have all the different

8905
06:21:53,100 --> 06:21:56,100
certificates and then we're also doing

8906
06:21:56,100 --> 06:21:58,100
the support to drive young people

8907
06:21:58,100 --> 06:22:01,100
where they need to be for the young

8908
06:22:01,100 --> 06:22:03,100
people that are on their way out.

8909
06:22:03,100 --> 06:22:06,100
so we're driving kids to college, and

8910
06:22:06,100 --> 06:22:08,100
we're helping with all that so,, I

8911
06:22:08,100 --> 06:22:10,100
don't know the you know, there is a

8912
06:22:10,100 --> 06:22:13,100
young person in sonoma state right now

8913
06:22:13,100 --> 06:22:16,100
that also comes home on the

8914
06:22:16,100 --> 06:22:17,100
weekend, that's a big deal.

8915
06:22:17,100 --> 06:22:19,100
I don't know who else is doing that

8916
06:22:19,100 --> 06:22:21,100
and the partnership going on with

8917
06:22:21,100 --> 06:22:23,100
project change, with project rebounds,

8918
06:22:23,100 --> 06:22:27,100
those are not easy to do, it's hard to

8919
06:22:27,100 --> 06:22:29,100
get all these organizations to talk

8920
06:22:29,100 --> 06:22:32,100
together and to move a student that is

8921
06:22:32,100 --> 06:22:34,100
also incarcerated to have a college

8922
06:22:34,100 --> 06:22:36,100
experience, that is not easy and

8923
06:22:36,100 --> 06:22:39,100
that takes a lot of work and a lot of

8924
06:22:39,100 --> 06:22:41,100
bending, so we're super excited about that

8925
06:22:41,100 --> 06:22:45,100
and we have a reentry diviner --

8926
06:22:45,100 --> 06:22:47,100
everything we do includes young people

8927
06:22:47,100 --> 06:22:50,100
out of being incarcerated, life

8928
06:22:50,100 --> 06:22:52,100
coaching, college support, job

8929
06:22:52,100 --> 06:22:54,401
support, everything we're doing.

8930
06:22:55,100 --> 06:22:56,100
so, the other thing is we do have a

8931
06:22:56,100 --> 06:22:59,100
federal grant that is -- we've been

8932
06:22:59,100 --> 06:23:02,100
able to hire 25 young people that were

8933
06:23:02,100 --> 06:23:05,601
incarcerated this year, so we have 25

8934
06:23:07,100 --> 06:23:08,100
students that have jobs that were

8935
06:23:08,100 --> 06:23:11,100
incarcerated at juvenile hall, we also

8936
06:23:11,100 --> 06:23:14,100
have -- we're training them to be

8937
06:23:14,100 --> 06:23:15,100
leaders and so I think overall, what

8938
06:23:15,100 --> 06:23:19,100
we are seeing is all the -- we're not

8939
06:23:19,100 --> 06:23:23,100
the only ones, we partner whoever we

8940
06:23:23,100 --> 06:23:24,100
can partner with.

8941
06:23:24,100 --> 06:23:28,801
it is coming in the direction from the

8942
06:23:31,100 --> 06:23:33,100
juvenile hall, I'm sure there are

8943
06:23:33,100 --> 06:23:34,100
things we can fix.

8944
06:23:34,100 --> 06:23:36,100
in honesty, I'm so proud and so

8945
06:23:36,100 --> 06:23:38,100
hopeful for the work that we're doing

8946
06:23:38,100 --> 06:23:41,100
and it's like I said, it's personal,

8947
06:23:41,100 --> 06:23:43,100
it's our neighbors, it's our frenz,

8948
06:23:43,100 --> 06:23:47,100
and -- friends, and I wouldn't be up

8949
06:23:47,100 --> 06:23:49,100
here talking about something has was

8950
06:23:49,100 --> 06:23:50,100
disrespectful to my neighbor, I

8951
06:23:50,100 --> 06:23:52,100
feel sure and strong about our work

8952
06:23:52,100 --> 06:23:53,100
and about the system that we're

8953
06:23:53,100 --> 06:23:55,100
working with.

8954
06:23:56,100 --> 06:23:57,100
do you have any questions?

8955
06:23:57,100 --> 06:24:00,601
>> thank you so much, any questions?

8956
06:24:01,100 --> 06:24:03,100
>> supervisor gauthier?

8957
06:24:04,100 --> 06:24:06,100
>> thank you.

8958
06:24:06,100 --> 06:24:09,100
I sat on the board for years so I know

8959
06:24:09,100 --> 06:24:11,100
firsthand the young people, the lives

8960
06:24:11,100 --> 06:24:13,100
you're really impacting and how you're

8961
06:24:13,100 --> 06:24:15,100
changing east palo alto and the bike

8962
06:24:15,100 --> 06:24:18,100
program and the bike courses that you

8963
06:24:18,100 --> 06:24:20,100
do, just you're really giving back to

8964
06:24:20,100 --> 06:24:25,401
the community as a whole and I want to

8965
06:24:29,100 --> 06:24:31,100
thank you for live in peace through

8966
06:24:31,100 --> 06:24:33,100
the swag person because it has made a

8967
06:24:33,100 --> 06:24:34,100
difference for many young people.

8968
06:24:34,100 --> 06:24:36,100
>> if I can through the chair,

8969
06:24:36,100 --> 06:24:37,100
supervisor gauthier, you hit the nail

8970
06:24:37,100 --> 06:24:38,100
on the head.

8971
06:24:38,100 --> 06:24:41,100
this is an incredible organization and

8972
06:24:41,100 --> 06:24:45,100
heather and eugene are the real deal,

8973
06:24:45,100 --> 06:24:47,100
they're helping kids every day, it was

8974
06:24:47,100 --> 06:24:48,100
our pleasure to partner with you and

8975
06:24:48,100 --> 06:24:50,100
continue to partner with you.

8976
06:24:50,100 --> 06:24:53,100
>> thank you, I wanted to say you

8977
06:24:53,100 --> 06:24:56,100
mentioned project rebound, as a

8978
06:24:57,100 --> 06:25:00,100
family member of a lot of people that

8979
06:25:00,100 --> 06:25:03,100
were formerly incarcerated, I did my

8980
06:25:03,100 --> 06:25:04,100
college internship with project

8981
06:25:04,100 --> 06:25:07,100
rebound, so I got to reconnect with

8982
06:25:07,100 --> 06:25:08,100
jason bell that has run that

8983
06:25:08,100 --> 06:25:12,100
program for many years at sf state,

8984
06:25:12,100 --> 06:25:14,100
and it's true, those relationships

8985
06:25:14,100 --> 06:25:17,100
take intention to build and to

8986
06:25:17,100 --> 06:25:18,100
maintain and thank you for all has you

8987
06:25:18,100 --> 06:25:19,100
do.

8988
06:25:19,100 --> 06:25:20,100
I remember when I heard about live in

8989
06:25:20,100 --> 06:25:23,100
peace, I said I want that in san mateo

8990
06:25:23,100 --> 06:25:24,100
in my district, so thank you so much.

8991
06:25:24,100 --> 06:25:26,100
anyone else?

8992
06:25:27,100 --> 06:25:28,100
no?

8993
06:25:28,100 --> 06:25:29,100
okay, thank you so much.

8994
06:25:29,100 --> 06:25:31,100
and with that, I think we'll hand it

8995
06:25:31,100 --> 06:25:35,100
over to chief keene to wrap us up and

8996
06:25:35,100 --> 06:25:38,100
yeah, I don't know what time we're

8997
06:25:38,100 --> 06:25:40,100
going to end today because we still

8998
06:25:40,100 --> 06:25:41,100
have a lot to go to.

8999
06:25:41,100 --> 06:25:43,100
>> I want to go quickly, I know we have

9000
06:25:43,100 --> 06:25:45,100
public comment and I want to get to

9001
06:25:45,100 --> 06:25:46,100
that.

9002
06:25:46,100 --> 06:25:49,100
I want to -- and once again, if you can

9003
06:25:49,100 --> 06:25:51,100
go to the last page with concerns.

9004
06:25:51,100 --> 06:25:53,100
I want to say once again how much I

9005
06:25:53,100 --> 06:25:55,100
appreciate the opportunity to have

9006
06:25:55,100 --> 06:25:56,100
these discussions today.

9007
06:25:56,100 --> 06:25:59,100
I think they were very well and

9008
06:25:59,100 --> 06:26:00,100
important and needed.

9009
06:26:00,100 --> 06:26:02,100
and I certainly want to support

9010
06:26:02,100 --> 06:26:04,100
something that supervisor canepa said.

9011
06:26:04,100 --> 06:26:06,100
I've been your chief for 13 years,

9012
06:26:06,100 --> 06:26:09,100
during that time, I have had a mason

9013
06:26:09,100 --> 06:26:12,100
relationship with iterations of the

9014
06:26:12,100 --> 06:26:13,100
jjdpc.

9015
06:26:13,100 --> 06:26:15,100
it has had different leadership during

9016
06:26:15,100 --> 06:26:17,100
those times and we've not always seen

9017
06:26:17,100 --> 06:26:20,100
eye to eye, and as you said, I think

9018
06:26:20,100 --> 06:26:22,100
really wisely, supervisor, it's been a

9019
06:26:22,100 --> 06:26:24,100
healthy intention and I think that's

9020
06:26:24,100 --> 06:26:27,100
tension has helped us make some huge

9021
06:26:27,100 --> 06:26:29,100
strides in certain areas and has

9022
06:26:29,100 --> 06:26:31,100
created an opportunity for learning

9023
06:26:31,100 --> 06:26:33,100
on both ends, but I think the key

9024
06:26:33,100 --> 06:26:37,100
issue I have is the leadership of the

9025
06:26:37,100 --> 06:26:39,100
past work collaborative and I want to

9026
06:26:39,100 --> 06:26:42,100
be clear to distinguish from the

9027
06:26:42,100 --> 06:26:46,100
commission as a whole because I think

9028
06:26:46,100 --> 06:26:47,100
that's really important.

9029
06:26:47,100 --> 06:26:50,100
our community folks volunteer their

9030
06:26:50,100 --> 06:26:53,100
time and energy to learn to become

9031
06:26:53,100 --> 06:26:55,100
subject matter experts in areas that

9032
06:26:55,100 --> 06:26:57,100
most of them did not go to school for,

9033
06:26:57,100 --> 06:26:59,100
most of them did not have those

9034
06:26:59,100 --> 06:27:01,100
experiences so I really believe that

9035
06:27:01,100 --> 06:27:03,100
that work is genuinely important to

9036
06:27:03,100 --> 06:27:05,100
improve the system but also hold the

9037
06:27:05,100 --> 06:27:07,100
system accountable.

9038
06:27:07,100 --> 06:27:10,100
I think where the concern lies is that

9039
06:27:10,100 --> 06:27:12,100
the current leadership is not

9040
06:27:12,100 --> 06:27:13,100
presenting opportunities I think for

9041
06:27:13,100 --> 06:27:17,801
the most part for there to be earnest

9042
06:27:19,100 --> 06:27:20,100
collaboration, the amount of

9043
06:27:20,100 --> 06:27:23,100
misinformation over the last six

9044
06:27:23,100 --> 06:27:26,100
month, 8 months, a year has been

9045
06:27:26,100 --> 06:27:27,100
problematic and troubling, I think we

9046
06:27:27,100 --> 06:27:30,100
heard interesting comments today about

9047
06:27:30,100 --> 06:27:32,100
resolving concerns and things that are

9048
06:27:32,100 --> 06:27:33,100
really important to the

9049
06:27:33,100 --> 06:27:36,100
commission, to the chair who spoke for

9050
06:27:36,100 --> 06:27:39,100
the commission, and I noticed this

9051
06:27:39,100 --> 06:27:41,401
commentary about confidentiality and

9052
06:27:42,100 --> 06:27:44,100
them not being an attorney or it she

9053
06:27:44,100 --> 06:27:46,100
not being an attorney, that struck me

9054
06:27:46,100 --> 06:27:48,100
as odd.

9055
06:27:48,100 --> 06:27:51,100
the picture you see in front of you is

9056
06:27:51,100 --> 06:27:52,100
an inappropriate unauthorized photo

9057
06:27:52,100 --> 06:27:54,100
taken from inside my facility.

9058
06:27:54,100 --> 06:27:57,100
when you guys received your

9059
06:27:57,100 --> 06:27:59,100
presentation in december, it was full

9060
06:27:59,100 --> 06:28:01,100
of photos that were taken inside of my

9061
06:28:01,100 --> 06:28:03,100
facility that were not authorized.

9062
06:28:03,100 --> 06:28:06,100
the reason why I bring that up is I

9063
06:28:06,100 --> 06:28:07,100
think it's microcosm of what we've

9064
06:28:07,100 --> 06:28:09,100
been experiencing.

9065
06:28:09,100 --> 06:28:12,100
this kind of blatant disregard for

9066
06:28:12,100 --> 06:28:14,401
true collaboration and partnership.

9067
06:28:15,100 --> 06:28:17,100
it's more, I know best, I want to do

9068
06:28:17,100 --> 06:28:19,100
what I want to do, it's created a

9069
06:28:19,100 --> 06:28:21,100
negative environment in our facility,

9070
06:28:21,100 --> 06:28:23,100
it has created a relationship where I

9071
06:28:23,100 --> 06:28:27,201
think we don't have faith that the

9072
06:28:29,100 --> 06:28:30,100
things that I think you are going to

9073
06:28:30,100 --> 06:28:33,100
direct as we move forward can really

9074
06:28:33,100 --> 06:28:36,100
be achieved because I think sometimes

9075
06:28:36,100 --> 06:28:37,100
unspoken intentions of folks that are

9076
06:28:37,100 --> 06:28:40,100
in the positions of leadership.

9077
06:28:41,100 --> 06:28:43,100
this picture was on social media, this

9078
06:28:43,100 --> 06:28:47,201
picture has been on their website for

9079
06:28:48,100 --> 06:28:51,100
their business, this picture has been

9080
06:28:51,100 --> 06:28:53,100
utilized to try to solicit funds on

9081
06:28:53,100 --> 06:28:56,100
behalf of different things and for me,

9082
06:28:56,100 --> 06:28:59,100
if a person will disregard the

9083
06:28:59,100 --> 06:29:01,100
confidentiality of our children

9084
06:29:01,100 --> 06:29:04,100
because when you look at this photo,

9085
06:29:04,100 --> 06:29:07,100
our senses are so small that I have

9086
06:29:07,100 --> 06:29:09,100
five wonderful, beautiful children and I

9087
06:29:09,100 --> 06:29:13,201
can tell you how they walk, their

9088
06:29:14,100 --> 06:29:17,601
images, their profiles, if I'm a

9089
06:29:18,100 --> 06:29:20,100
parent sitting at home and I see a

9090
06:29:20,100 --> 06:29:22,100
picture of my child, I will feel a

9091
06:29:22,100 --> 06:29:23,100
certain way about that.

9092
06:29:23,100 --> 06:29:26,100
as we move forward with this

9093
06:29:26,100 --> 06:29:28,100
relationship, we can do so in a

9094
06:29:28,100 --> 06:29:31,100
way where true intentions will lead

9095
06:29:31,100 --> 06:29:32,100
the conversations.

9096
06:29:32,100 --> 06:29:34,100
if the goal is to say that no youth

9097
06:29:34,100 --> 06:29:36,100
should be in dust u custody regardless

9098
06:29:36,100 --> 06:29:39,100
of what they've done or the people

9099
06:29:39,100 --> 06:29:42,100
they victimized or the state of the

9100
06:29:42,100 --> 06:29:45,100
vicks afterwards, then let's just say

9101
06:29:45,100 --> 06:29:47,100
that so we can work in this place of

9102
06:29:47,100 --> 06:29:48,100
honesty.

9103
06:29:48,100 --> 06:29:49,100
the goal is to provide opportunities

9104
06:29:49,100 --> 06:29:52,100
for young people and provide

9105
06:29:52,100 --> 06:29:55,601
rehabilitation, let's do that and put

9106
06:29:56,100 --> 06:29:58,100
aside personal focus.

9107
06:29:58,100 --> 06:30:01,100
the young people need adults who are

9108
06:30:01,100 --> 06:30:04,100
going to meet and work -- and I think

9109
06:30:04,100 --> 06:30:07,100
one of the juvenile judges said it

9110
06:30:07,100 --> 06:30:09,100
best, the adults need to get over

9111
06:30:09,100 --> 06:30:10,100
themselves and figure out a way to

9112
06:30:10,100 --> 06:30:12,100
work and the probation department is

9113
06:30:12,100 --> 06:30:15,100
here to work, we're here to implement

9114
06:30:15,100 --> 06:30:18,100
the things you need and we're here to

9115
06:30:18,100 --> 06:30:21,100
listen to concerns but my hope is that

9116
06:30:21,100 --> 06:30:23,100
something like this is not indicative

9117
06:30:23,100 --> 06:30:25,100
of the future.

9118
06:30:26,100 --> 06:30:28,100
thank you for the opportunity and

9119
06:30:28,100 --> 06:30:29,100
certainly after public comment, if you

9120
06:30:29,100 --> 06:30:31,100
have any other questions, I would be

9121
06:30:31,100 --> 06:30:32,100
happy to answer.

9122
06:30:32,100 --> 06:30:34,100
>> thank you.

9123
06:30:35,100 --> 06:30:38,100
any comments or questions from the

9124
06:30:38,100 --> 06:30:39,100
board?

9125
06:30:39,100 --> 06:30:40,100
supervisor speier?

9126
06:30:40,100 --> 06:30:42,100
>> thank you.

9127
06:30:42,100 --> 06:30:45,100
let me just say to everyone how

9128
06:30:45,100 --> 06:30:49,100
valuable your input has been today and

9129
06:30:49,100 --> 06:30:52,601
how important this study session has

9130
06:30:53,100 --> 06:30:54,100
been.

9131
06:30:54,100 --> 06:30:57,100
I was stunned by the civil grand jury

9132
06:30:57,100 --> 06:31:00,601
report that showed there was a 40%

9133
06:31:02,100 --> 06:31:05,100
increase in a cost per youth from

9134
06:31:05,100 --> 06:31:08,100
23-24 of 423 thousand dollars per

9135
06:31:10,100 --> 06:31:13,100
youth to 586 thousand dollars per

9136
06:31:15,100 --> 06:31:18,601
youth in our youth service center.

9137
06:31:19,100 --> 06:31:22,100
I'm also very concerned about the

9138
06:31:22,100 --> 06:31:25,100
service cliff and the fact that like

9139
06:31:25,100 --> 06:31:27,100
with foster children, they age out at

9140
06:31:27,100 --> 06:31:30,100
18 and we realize they weren't ready

9141
06:31:30,100 --> 06:31:34,100
to be out at 18 and I think we need to

9142
06:31:34,100 --> 06:31:36,100
look at taking some part of the rest

9143
06:31:36,100 --> 06:31:40,201
of that facility and create a program

9144
06:31:42,100 --> 06:31:45,100
where these young people can

9145
06:31:45,100 --> 06:31:47,100
transition to a different setting but

9146
06:31:47,100 --> 06:31:51,801
have some of the resources we saw from

9147
06:31:52,100 --> 06:31:55,100
a number of the partners like fly and

9148
06:31:55,100 --> 06:31:56,100
live in peace.

9149
06:31:56,100 --> 06:31:59,100
I'm also concerned about the youth

9150
06:31:59,100 --> 06:32:03,201
attacks on staff that have gone up 40%

9151
06:32:04,100 --> 06:32:08,201
which speaks to a violence within the

9152
06:32:09,100 --> 06:32:12,100
center there that is concerning and,

9153
06:32:12,100 --> 06:32:14,100
chief, maybe we should have another

9154
06:32:14,100 --> 06:32:17,100
conversation about that at a different

9155
06:32:17,100 --> 06:32:18,100
time.

9156
06:32:18,100 --> 06:32:21,100
I'm delighted to see that the prea

9157
06:32:21,100 --> 06:32:24,100
number will be -- 800 number will be

9158
06:32:24,100 --> 06:32:26,100
available soon, I think that's very

9159
06:32:26,100 --> 06:32:27,100
important.

9160
06:32:27,100 --> 06:32:31,100
I think we've got to find a way to

9161
06:32:31,100 --> 06:32:35,201
procure some of the items these young

9162
06:32:36,100 --> 06:32:39,100
people need to be able to jog for

9163
06:32:39,100 --> 06:32:41,100
instance around that beautiful track

9164
06:32:41,100 --> 06:32:44,100
and right now I think the

9165
06:32:44,100 --> 06:32:47,100
process is too long for that.

9166
06:32:47,100 --> 06:32:50,601
so, equipment for them to exercise

9167
06:32:52,100 --> 06:32:54,100
with, athletic ware, they made that

9168
06:32:54,100 --> 06:32:56,100
very clear and those are things that

9169
06:32:56,100 --> 06:32:57,100
could make a huge difference for them.

9170
06:32:57,100 --> 06:33:00,100
if we can come up with some different

9171
06:33:00,100 --> 06:33:02,100
kind of procurement for some of those

9172
06:33:02,100 --> 06:33:04,100
items, I think that would be very

9173
06:33:04,100 --> 06:33:07,601
helpful in terms of their development.

9174
06:33:08,100 --> 06:33:11,100
and the talk about food was over the

9175
06:33:11,100 --> 06:33:12,100
top.

9176
06:33:12,100 --> 06:33:16,100
I think the food is better than was

9177
06:33:16,100 --> 06:33:17,100
represented.

9178
06:33:17,100 --> 06:33:20,100
it's not great, but they even said

9179
06:33:20,100 --> 06:33:21,100
that it's improved substantially.

9180
06:33:21,100 --> 06:33:25,100
the extent to which we can create

9181
06:33:25,100 --> 06:33:28,100
culinary job training for some of

9182
06:33:28,100 --> 06:33:31,100
these young people, I think that's a

9183
06:33:31,100 --> 06:33:32,100
great potential job for them in the

9184
06:33:32,100 --> 06:33:34,100
future, and I

9185
06:33:35,100 --> 06:33:38,100
don't know if we can turn that

9186
06:33:38,100 --> 06:33:39,100
facility into something that can be

9187
06:33:39,100 --> 06:33:42,100
made into a learning environment for

9188
06:33:42,100 --> 06:33:44,100
them, but it appears that there is new

9189
06:33:44,100 --> 06:33:46,100
money available and this report speaks

9190
06:33:46,100 --> 06:33:49,100
to the fact that santa clara county

9191
06:33:49,100 --> 06:33:52,100
and la county have developed these

9192
06:33:52,100 --> 06:33:55,100
specialized programs for what they're

9193
06:33:55,100 --> 06:33:58,100
clinging emerging adults and received

9194
06:34:00,100 --> 06:34:01,100
financing or incentives for these

9195
06:34:01,100 --> 06:34:02,100
counties.

9196
06:34:02,100 --> 06:34:03,100
I hope we can look that the as well as

9197
06:34:03,100 --> 06:34:06,601
we move forward, but madam president,

9198
06:34:07,100 --> 06:34:08,100
thank you for convening this.

9199
06:34:08,100 --> 06:34:11,100
I think it was really important to do

9200
06:34:11,100 --> 06:34:14,100
and I look forward to working closely

9201
06:34:14,100 --> 06:34:17,100
with those who work on behalf of our

9202
06:34:17,100 --> 06:34:21,100
young people who need us and we need

9203
06:34:21,100 --> 06:34:23,100
to be able to provide for them in

9204
06:34:23,100 --> 06:34:25,100
hopes of a better future.

9205
06:34:25,100 --> 06:34:27,401
>> thank you, supervisor mueller?

9206
06:34:28,100 --> 06:34:29,100
>> thank you, colleagues.

9207
06:34:29,100 --> 06:34:32,601
thank you to everyone who presented

9208
06:34:35,100 --> 06:34:37,100
again, what I would like to suggest

9209
06:34:37,100 --> 06:34:40,100
our board consider doing is to offer

9210
06:34:40,100 --> 06:34:43,100
resources to sponsor an informal best

9211
06:34:43,100 --> 06:34:46,100
practices assessment for the jjdpc's

9212
06:34:46,100 --> 06:34:48,100
interaction with the county youth

9213
06:34:48,100 --> 06:34:49,100
services center.

9214
06:34:49,100 --> 06:34:51,100
I would like to offer the board that

9215
06:34:51,100 --> 06:34:54,100
we should consider fund finding a

9216
06:34:54,100 --> 06:34:57,601
subject matter expert to see the

9217
06:34:58,100 --> 06:35:01,100
current practices and goals against

9218
06:35:01,100 --> 06:35:02,100
statewide best practices and

9219
06:35:02,100 --> 06:35:05,100
regional best practices so we can make

9220
06:35:05,100 --> 06:35:07,100
recommendations and provide the

9221
06:35:07,100 --> 06:35:11,100
support needed and that would take in

9222
06:35:11,100 --> 06:35:12,100
dialogue from everyone.

9223
06:35:12,100 --> 06:35:14,100
I think having that assessment is

9224
06:35:14,100 --> 06:35:18,201
going to help us empower the jjdpc,

9225
06:35:19,100 --> 06:35:20,100
the acronym, and our county

9226
06:35:20,100 --> 06:35:21,100
departments and I would love to be

9227
06:35:21,100 --> 06:35:23,100
able to get that report back and

9228
06:35:23,100 --> 06:35:26,100
understand what that facilitator is

9229
06:35:26,100 --> 06:35:28,100
telling us.

9230
06:35:28,100 --> 06:35:29,100
>> any other comments?

9231
06:35:29,100 --> 06:35:30,100
supervisor canepa?

9232
06:35:30,100 --> 06:35:32,100
supervisor gauthier?

9233
06:35:34,100 --> 06:35:36,100
>> no, I want to say again, thank you for

9234
06:35:36,100 --> 06:35:38,100
all those who stayed and walked uss

9235
06:35:38,100 --> 06:35:41,100
through this study session, it was

9236
06:35:41,100 --> 06:35:42,100
very important.

9237
06:35:42,100 --> 06:35:44,100
at the end of the day, I would like to

9238
06:35:44,100 --> 06:35:47,100
figure out how photos are taken in the

9239
06:35:47,100 --> 06:35:49,100
facility and I hope we don't have

9240
06:35:49,100 --> 06:35:50,100
unauthorized photos that are taken in

9241
06:35:50,100 --> 06:35:51,100
the facility.

9242
06:35:51,100 --> 06:35:53,100
I hope that doesn't happen in the

9243
06:35:53,100 --> 06:35:55,100
future and we can come to a better

9244
06:35:55,100 --> 06:35:58,100
agreement and work better together to

9245
06:35:58,100 --> 06:35:59,100
help our youth.

9246
06:35:59,100 --> 06:36:01,100
at the end of the day, it is about the

9247
06:36:01,100 --> 06:36:02,100
youth and getting them on track so

9248
06:36:02,100 --> 06:36:05,100
they can be successful when they leave

9249
06:36:05,100 --> 06:36:09,100
there and reenter and come back to

9250
06:36:09,100 --> 06:36:10,100
our neighborhoods.

9251
06:36:10,100 --> 06:36:12,100
>> thank you, I want to recognize,

9252
06:36:12,100 --> 06:36:13,100
thank you, chief keene, for your

9253
06:36:13,100 --> 06:36:14,100
comments.

9254
06:36:14,100 --> 06:36:17,100
I think you summarized it pretty well.

9255
06:36:17,100 --> 06:36:19,100
one of the things I would like to see

9256
06:36:19,100 --> 06:36:21,100
and maybe through the county

9257
06:36:21,100 --> 06:36:23,100
executive, we've had a pretty

9258
06:36:23,100 --> 06:36:24,100
productive meeting with various

9259
06:36:24,100 --> 06:36:25,100
stakeholders.

9260
06:36:25,100 --> 06:36:28,100
I think we had representative from the

9261
06:36:28,100 --> 06:36:32,100
court, we've had the jjdpc, might I

9262
06:36:32,100 --> 06:36:34,100
suggest is looking at the feasibility

9263
06:36:34,100 --> 06:36:38,100
of maybe having an annual meeting or

9264
06:36:38,100 --> 06:36:40,100
quarterly meeting to bring people

9265
06:36:40,100 --> 06:36:42,100
together with different perspectives

9266
06:36:42,100 --> 06:36:45,100
so there could be future

9267
06:36:46,100 --> 06:36:47,100
collaboration, and so I think as we

9268
06:36:47,100 --> 06:36:50,100
move forward, we have a lot of smart

9269
06:36:50,100 --> 06:36:51,100
people.

9270
06:36:51,100 --> 06:36:53,100
obviously different skill sets, some

9271
06:36:53,100 --> 06:36:57,801
similar, if we could form an ad hoc,

9272
06:37:00,100 --> 06:37:03,100
whatever it is, maybe it's something

9273
06:37:03,100 --> 06:37:06,100
you do, chief keene, where we're

9274
06:37:06,100 --> 06:37:07,100
exchanging activities and everyone

9275
06:37:07,100 --> 06:37:09,100
in the circle is aware of what

9276
06:37:09,100 --> 06:37:12,100
everyone is doing, I think I want to

9277
06:37:12,100 --> 06:37:14,100
thank supervisor speier, supervisor

9278
06:37:14,100 --> 06:37:15,100
corzo, for bringing this forward.

9279
06:37:15,100 --> 06:37:18,100
I do think it's a good first step.

9280
06:37:18,100 --> 06:37:20,401
I do think there's

9281
06:37:22,100 --> 06:37:23,100
opportunities for deeper collaboration.

9282
06:37:23,100 --> 06:37:25,100
>> thank you, yeah.

9283
06:37:26,100 --> 06:37:30,100
so, I want to share with the board

9284
06:37:30,100 --> 06:37:31,100
that, yeah, I've been working

9285
06:37:31,100 --> 06:37:34,601
internally with the jjdpc and with

9286
06:37:36,100 --> 06:37:37,100
county leadership, the survey has been

9287
06:37:37,100 --> 06:37:41,801
a part of that, wanting to the hear

9288
06:37:42,100 --> 06:37:44,100
from every single commissioner on the

9289
06:37:44,100 --> 06:37:46,100
jjdpc about areas they want more

9290
06:37:46,100 --> 06:37:49,100
training in, more support and they want

9291
06:37:49,100 --> 06:37:53,201
to explore areas, they want more data

9292
06:37:55,100 --> 06:37:57,100
and information and also hearing from

9293
06:37:57,100 --> 06:37:59,100
partners what about would work better

9294
06:37:59,100 --> 06:38:03,801
for them and kind of relooking at how

9295
06:38:04,100 --> 06:38:06,100
we can reset.

9296
06:38:06,100 --> 06:38:09,100
I will say having worked with many

9297
06:38:09,100 --> 06:38:11,100
commissions, the jjdpc does things in

9298
06:38:11,100 --> 06:38:13,100
a way that's different from any

9299
06:38:13,100 --> 06:38:15,100
other commission, so kind of reworking

9300
06:38:15,100 --> 06:38:19,100
that to have it be more on par and

9301
06:38:19,100 --> 06:38:23,801
just kind of make it a less tense

9302
06:38:25,100 --> 06:38:26,100
space, I think we can get there.

9303
06:38:26,100 --> 06:38:27,100
I want to get there.

9304
06:38:27,100 --> 06:38:30,100
I think it's totally possible.

9305
06:38:32,100 --> 06:38:35,100
I hope this study session, you know,

9306
06:38:35,100 --> 06:38:39,201
as we opened with the intentions and

9307
06:38:41,100 --> 06:38:43,100
the purpose, I hope this helped

9308
06:38:43,100 --> 06:38:46,100
diffuse some of the tension, we've

9309
06:38:46,100 --> 06:38:47,100
gotten it out there, there's been a

9310
06:38:47,100 --> 06:38:49,100
lot of information shared.

9311
06:38:49,100 --> 06:38:51,100
this must be our longest study session

9312
06:38:51,100 --> 06:38:55,100
of the year and it does deserve that,

9313
06:38:55,100 --> 06:38:58,100
our young people matter and they're

9314
06:38:58,100 --> 06:39:01,100
important and it's not just about the

9315
06:39:01,100 --> 06:39:04,100
youth in the ysc, it's also about the

9316
06:39:04,100 --> 06:39:07,601
many youth in our community receiving

9317
06:39:08,100 --> 06:39:11,100
diversion support and mentorship and

9318
06:39:14,100 --> 06:39:15,100
preventative services and yeah, we all

9319
06:39:15,100 --> 06:39:18,100
care about them and if there are

9320
06:39:18,100 --> 06:39:20,100
improvements to be

9321
06:39:22,100 --> 06:39:23,100
made, we should all be working

9322
06:39:23,100 --> 06:39:24,100
together to make them.

9323
06:39:24,100 --> 06:39:28,100
and I think, yeah, we've all learned a

9324
06:39:28,100 --> 06:39:29,100
lot.

9325
06:39:29,100 --> 06:39:30,100
so, thank you.

9326
06:39:30,100 --> 06:39:31,100
did you want to share something,

9327
06:39:31,100 --> 06:39:32,100
supervisor mueller?

9328
06:39:32,100 --> 06:39:33,100
>> yeah, that's fine.

9329
06:39:33,100 --> 06:39:36,100
>> it sounds like the county's already

9330
06:39:36,100 --> 06:39:38,100
embarking on trying to facilitate it,

9331
06:39:38,100 --> 06:39:40,100
so I will go ahead and withdraw that

9332
06:39:40,100 --> 06:39:44,801
at this time but should the -- so,

9333
06:39:48,100 --> 06:39:50,100
president or corzo, you should know as

9334
06:39:50,100 --> 06:39:51,100
liaison, if you want to come forward

9335
06:39:51,100 --> 06:39:54,100
and ask us for a subject matter

9336
06:39:54,100 --> 06:39:56,100
facilitator to provide us with best

9337
06:39:56,100 --> 06:39:59,100
practices has we can provide as

9338
06:39:59,100 --> 06:40:01,100
recommendations, I would be supportive

9339
06:40:01,100 --> 06:40:03,100
of that but I can go and withdraw that

9340
06:40:03,100 --> 06:40:04,100
in the meeting at this time.

9341
06:40:04,100 --> 06:40:06,100
>> thank you, I will say if there is

9342
06:40:06,100 --> 06:40:09,100
like a neutral community partner that

9343
06:40:09,100 --> 06:40:11,100
is interested in kind of being a

9344
06:40:11,100 --> 06:40:15,100
mediator, I'm open to that, I don't

9345
06:40:15,100 --> 06:40:18,100
want to pay like a facilitator like a

9346
06:40:18,100 --> 06:40:21,100
ton of money when we can pay a

9347
06:40:21,100 --> 06:40:22,100
community partner.

9348
06:40:22,100 --> 06:40:25,100
>> so to be clear, what I'm looking

9349
06:40:25,100 --> 06:40:27,100
for is I really think it would be

9350
06:40:27,100 --> 06:40:30,100
important to go ahead and look at

9351
06:40:30,100 --> 06:40:33,100
other jurisdictions in the operation

9352
06:40:33,100 --> 06:40:36,100
of their jjdpc to see how it may

9353
06:40:36,100 --> 06:40:38,100
differ from ours to try to go ahead

9354
06:40:38,100 --> 06:40:41,100
and figure out what the tension point

9355
06:40:41,100 --> 06:40:43,100
is originating from.

9356
06:40:43,100 --> 06:40:45,100
and so a subject matter expert who

9357
06:40:45,100 --> 06:40:49,100
went and looked at those other ones

9358
06:40:49,100 --> 06:40:51,100
and looked at ours, we would have

9359
06:40:51,100 --> 06:40:52,100
discrete recommendation.

9360
06:40:52,100 --> 06:40:54,100
that being said, it sounds like you

9361
06:40:54,100 --> 06:40:58,201
guys have stated a process but should

9362
06:40:59,100 --> 06:41:00,100
you reach a point that you want to come back

9363
06:41:00,100 --> 06:41:01,100
and ask us for that and people wanted

9364
06:41:01,100 --> 06:41:03,100
to see that, I would be open to it.

9365
06:41:03,100 --> 06:41:05,100
>> absolutely, thank you, I think we

9366
06:41:05,100 --> 06:41:08,100
can expand that scope and potentially

9367
06:41:08,100 --> 06:41:11,601
bring that back to the board.

9368
06:41:13,100 --> 06:41:15,100
it's almost 5:00, y'all, I'm running

9369
06:41:15,100 --> 06:41:16,100
out of steam here.

9370
06:41:16,100 --> 06:41:18,100
with that, let's move -- supervisor

9371
06:41:18,100 --> 06:41:19,100
canepa?

9372
06:41:19,100 --> 06:41:20,100
>> madam chair, I'm going to

9373
06:41:20,100 --> 06:41:22,100
ask you and I hate to do this, I don't

9374
06:41:22,100 --> 06:41:25,100
think I've done it once on the board,

9375
06:41:25,100 --> 06:41:27,100
if we could take my measure k item.

9376
06:41:27,100 --> 06:41:30,100
>> yes, but after public comment.

9377
06:41:30,100 --> 06:41:31,100
>> public comment, please.

9378
06:41:31,100 --> 06:41:33,100
>> we have 8 speaker cards from

9379
06:41:33,100 --> 06:41:35,100
chambers for item number 6, we'll

9380
06:41:35,100 --> 06:41:38,601
start with kathy and then [inaudible]

9381
06:41:39,100 --> 06:41:41,100
and barbara taylor.

9382
06:41:42,100 --> 06:41:45,100
can we first have kathy.

9383
06:41:50,100 --> 06:41:53,601
>> my name is kathy barrett, I

9384
06:41:56,100 --> 06:41:57,100
live in san carlos, I'm a parent and a

9385
06:41:57,100 --> 06:41:58,100
grandparent and I believe every child

9386
06:41:58,100 --> 06:42:01,100
deserves to be treated with dignity.

9387
06:42:01,100 --> 06:42:04,100
last year, I participated in a

9388
06:42:04,100 --> 06:42:06,100
december drive for hygiene products

9389
06:42:06,100 --> 06:42:08,100
for the kids living in the youth

9390
06:42:08,100 --> 06:42:10,100
services center.

9391
06:42:10,100 --> 06:42:12,100
the last time I spoke about conditions

9392
06:42:12,100 --> 06:42:14,100
in the youth services center, I

9393
06:42:14,100 --> 06:42:16,100
focused on the amnesty of having

9394
06:42:16,100 --> 06:42:18,100
enough good food to eat.

9395
06:42:18,100 --> 06:42:21,100
I believe those comments were heard.

9396
06:42:21,100 --> 06:42:24,100
this time I would like to talk about

9397
06:42:24,100 --> 06:42:26,100
some relatively simple steps to treat

9398
06:42:26,100 --> 06:42:28,401
these kids with dignity.

9399
06:42:29,100 --> 06:42:32,100
since we went to rehabilitate every

9400
06:42:32,100 --> 06:42:34,100
young resident of youth services center

9401
06:42:34,100 --> 06:42:36,100
and treat them as if they matter

9402
06:42:36,100 --> 06:42:39,100
which they do, steps like replacing

9403
06:42:39,100 --> 06:42:41,100
worn out carpet and installing

9404
06:42:41,100 --> 06:42:42,100
personal storage units would be a

9405
06:42:42,100 --> 06:42:43,100
goaded start.

9406
06:42:43,100 --> 06:42:46,100
they need a place to store their

9407
06:42:46,100 --> 06:42:49,601
clothes, hygiene pugs -- products and

9408
06:42:54,100 --> 06:42:55,100
school supplies.

9409
06:42:55,100 --> 06:42:56,100
I was glad to hear you talk about the

9410
06:42:56,100 --> 06:42:57,100
procurement process because I hope

9411
06:42:57,100 --> 06:42:58,100
that the board and the county

9412
06:42:58,100 --> 06:42:59,100
executive can help probation secure

9413
06:42:59,100 --> 06:43:01,100
items like these which would help make

9414
06:43:01,100 --> 06:43:02,100
this space more livable.

9415
06:43:02,100 --> 06:43:03,100
thank you.

9416
06:43:03,100 --> 06:43:05,100
>> thank you, it looks like beth had

9417
06:43:05,100 --> 06:43:09,801
to leave, next we'll do barbara and then

9418
06:43:10,100 --> 06:43:11,100
daria.

9419
06:43:11,100 --> 06:43:13,401
is barbara taylor here?

9420
06:43:14,100 --> 06:43:16,100
okay.

9421
06:43:18,100 --> 06:43:20,100
daria?

9422
06:43:24,100 --> 06:43:27,100
>> my name is daria, a resident of

9423
06:43:27,100 --> 06:43:30,100
east palo alto, the director of youth

9424
06:43:30,100 --> 06:43:31,100
justice california policy and capacity

9425
06:43:31,100 --> 06:43:33,100
building at the national center for

9426
06:43:33,100 --> 06:43:34,100
youth law.

9427
06:43:34,100 --> 06:43:36,100
thank you for dedicating this time to

9428
06:43:36,100 --> 06:43:39,100
learn and uplift the needs of youth

9429
06:43:39,100 --> 06:43:41,100
who are touched by the juvenile

9430
06:43:41,100 --> 06:43:43,100
justice system in san mateo county.

9431
06:43:43,100 --> 06:43:45,100
it is well documented through research

9432
06:43:45,100 --> 06:43:47,100
that any amount of system contact is

9433
06:43:47,100 --> 06:43:49,100
harmful to youth and the further a

9434
06:43:49,100 --> 06:43:51,100
young person goes into the system from

9435
06:43:51,100 --> 06:43:53,100
arrests all the way to one day in

9436
06:43:53,100 --> 06:43:56,601
detention not only can have lasting,

9437
06:43:57,100 --> 06:43:59,100
traumatic impact, it can drive

9438
06:43:59,100 --> 06:44:00,100
recidivism and undermines public

9439
06:44:00,100 --> 06:44:01,100
safety.

9440
06:44:01,100 --> 06:44:03,100
I would like to note today that we

9441
06:44:03,100 --> 06:44:05,100
heard from some amazing community

9442
06:44:05,100 --> 06:44:08,100
partners as well as leadership from

9443
06:44:08,100 --> 06:44:10,100
probation and other system partners

9444
06:44:10,100 --> 06:44:13,601
who are all incredibly dedicated and

9445
06:44:14,100 --> 06:44:18,201
really it's showing that want the best

9446
06:44:19,100 --> 06:44:20,100
for our young people of our community.

9447
06:44:20,100 --> 06:44:21,100
notably what was absent was hearing

9448
06:44:21,100 --> 06:44:22,100
from young people.

9449
06:44:22,100 --> 06:44:25,100
and so I really encourage the board at

9450
06:44:25,100 --> 06:44:27,100
whatever point be possible to hear

9451
06:44:27,100 --> 06:44:28,100
darkly from young people.

9452
06:44:28,100 --> 06:44:32,201
I know there were visits to juvenile

9453
06:44:33,100 --> 06:44:34,100
hall but hearing from young people in

9454
06:44:34,100 --> 06:44:36,100
the community of what their needs are

9455
06:44:36,100 --> 06:44:38,100
and what they see for their future.

9456
06:44:38,100 --> 06:44:40,100
the other thing to lift up is also

9457
06:44:40,100 --> 06:44:43,100
kids who enter the system often are

9458
06:44:43,100 --> 06:44:46,100
understood and talked about as this

9459
06:44:46,100 --> 06:44:49,100
siloed entity as these kids or those

9460
06:44:49,100 --> 06:44:51,100
kids and these are our kids, it's the

9461
06:44:51,100 --> 06:44:55,100
same group of kids and there are kids

9462
06:44:55,100 --> 06:44:57,100
impacted by housing issues, impacted

9463
06:44:57,100 --> 06:44:59,100
by issues of mental health, issues

9464
06:44:59,100 --> 06:45:02,100
with our education system, so neigh is

9465
06:45:02,100 --> 06:45:04,100
touching those issues really should be

9466
06:45:04,100 --> 06:45:06,100
understood as intersecting with how

9467
06:45:06,100 --> 06:45:07,100
young people are entering up in our

9468
06:45:07,100 --> 06:45:08,100
system.

9469
06:45:08,100 --> 06:45:10,100
I would also like to offer that the

9470
06:45:10,100 --> 06:45:11,100
national center for youth law is here

9471
06:45:11,100 --> 06:45:14,100
to support the county and

9472
06:45:14,100 --> 06:45:15,100
strengthening and uplifting good work

9473
06:45:15,100 --> 06:45:18,100
that is being done here supporting

9474
06:45:18,100 --> 06:45:20,100
implementation of new justice law and

9475
06:45:20,100 --> 06:45:22,401
is providing technical assistance.

9476
06:45:24,100 --> 06:45:26,100
thank you so much and I look forward

9477
06:45:26,100 --> 06:45:29,100
to working with all of you.

9478
06:45:29,100 --> 06:45:31,100
>> next we'll have nancy goodman and

9479
06:45:31,100 --> 06:45:32,100
then we'll have rebecca keeler.

9480
06:45:32,100 --> 06:45:34,100
>> after.

9481
06:45:40,100 --> 06:45:43,100
>> I'm nancy goodman from redwood city.

9482
06:45:43,100 --> 06:45:46,100
thank you for sponsoring had and thank

9483
06:45:46,100 --> 06:45:49,100
you for all your work and the good

9484
06:45:49,100 --> 06:45:51,100
outcome of this was hearing from a lot

9485
06:45:51,100 --> 06:45:52,100
of different stakeholders.

9486
06:45:52,100 --> 06:45:56,100
I wanted to ask the board, I think

9487
06:45:56,100 --> 06:45:57,100
it's an opportunity for you to help

9488
06:45:57,100 --> 06:45:58,100
with something supervisor speier

9489
06:45:58,100 --> 06:45:59,100
referred to, we have a lot of unused

9490
06:45:59,100 --> 06:46:02,601
space we're spending money on, camp

9491
06:46:04,100 --> 06:46:06,100
[inaudible] has 30 beds and set up

9492
06:46:06,100 --> 06:46:08,100
like a warm, cozy group home with

9493
06:46:08,100 --> 06:46:11,100
a nice kitchen and it could be

9494
06:46:11,100 --> 06:46:12,100
repurposed fairly quickly for

9495
06:46:12,100 --> 06:46:14,100
something that would be used for

9496
06:46:14,100 --> 06:46:16,100
substance abuse or supportive housing

9497
06:46:16,100 --> 06:46:18,100
for transitional youth.

9498
06:46:19,100 --> 06:46:21,100
the youth service center has about

9499
06:46:21,100 --> 06:46:24,601
35-40 kids but has 180 beds, we

9500
06:46:26,100 --> 06:46:28,100
have the bond debt, the court is

9501
06:46:28,100 --> 06:46:30,100
paying a section of it, theses a bond

9502
06:46:30,100 --> 06:46:32,100
debt that could be repurposed without

9503
06:46:32,100 --> 06:46:34,100
having to go to the voters, it's whatever

9504
06:46:34,100 --> 06:46:37,100
they call the general purpose bond,

9505
06:46:37,100 --> 06:46:39,100
the voters didn't say it has to be

9506
06:46:39,100 --> 06:46:40,100
used for this purpose.

9507
06:46:40,100 --> 06:46:42,100
the good thinkers here in the county

9508
06:46:42,100 --> 06:46:44,100
could figure out how we can use some

9509
06:46:44,100 --> 06:46:46,100
of that space, rebuild it and renovate

9510
06:46:46,100 --> 06:46:49,100
it a little and separate it off, we

9511
06:46:49,100 --> 06:46:50,100
need substance abuse and mental health

9512
06:46:50,100 --> 06:46:52,100
treatment for these kids to keep them

9513
06:46:52,100 --> 06:46:54,100
out of the system and we need

9514
06:46:54,100 --> 06:46:55,100
supportive housing so thank you again

9515
06:46:55,100 --> 06:46:57,100
so much and I agree with everyone who

9516
06:46:57,100 --> 06:47:00,100
said let's just all work together on

9517
06:47:00,100 --> 06:47:01,100
this.

9518
06:47:01,100 --> 06:47:02,100
I'm just a member of the community

9519
06:47:02,100 --> 06:47:03,100
that wants to help these kids.

9520
06:47:03,100 --> 06:47:05,100
thank you.

9521
06:47:05,100 --> 06:47:06,100
>> thank you.

9522
06:47:06,100 --> 06:47:10,201
and then rebecca and after we'll have

9523
06:47:12,100 --> 06:47:14,100
maria.

9524
06:47:15,100 --> 06:47:18,100
>> thank you so much, board.

9525
06:47:20,100 --> 06:47:23,100
I brought notes but I think I'm going

9526
06:47:23,100 --> 06:47:24,100
to trash them.

9527
06:47:24,100 --> 06:47:27,100
I'm going to go back to some of them.

9528
06:47:27,100 --> 06:47:30,100
first of all, today, I hope is the

9529
06:47:30,100 --> 06:47:33,100
beginning of conversation, what you

9530
06:47:33,100 --> 06:47:35,100
said, supervisor canepa, I think

9531
06:47:35,100 --> 06:47:37,100
instead of this kind of format, I'm

9532
06:47:37,100 --> 06:47:39,100
hoping that we can speak individually

9533
06:47:39,100 --> 06:47:41,100
where we can have conversation back

9534
06:47:41,100 --> 06:47:42,100
and forth.

9535
06:47:42,100 --> 06:47:46,201
I think that would be really helpful.

9536
06:47:48,100 --> 06:47:50,100
I always say all of these kids in the

9537
06:47:50,100 --> 06:47:51,100
hall will come home to our community

9538
06:47:51,100 --> 06:47:53,100
all of this them, and how do we want

9539
06:47:53,100 --> 06:47:54,100
that to look?

9540
06:47:54,100 --> 06:47:57,100
and that's -- I'm a co-founder of in

9541
06:47:57,100 --> 06:48:00,100
our care, san mateo county, and we

9542
06:48:00,100 --> 06:48:02,100
founded simply because we saw that

9543
06:48:02,100 --> 06:48:04,100
issues that kept coming up in the hall

9544
06:48:04,100 --> 06:48:07,100
that we kept hearing about at the

9545
06:48:07,100 --> 06:48:08,100
inspection reports, we kept hearing

9546
06:48:08,100 --> 06:48:10,100
about year after year after year and

9547
06:48:10,100 --> 06:48:13,100
we thought, well, if we can raise

9548
06:48:13,100 --> 06:48:15,100
community awareness, if we can talk

9549
06:48:15,100 --> 06:48:19,100
with you folks all, maybe we can help

9550
06:48:19,100 --> 06:48:21,100
to make some of these things happen,

9551
06:48:21,100 --> 06:48:24,100
that's where we came from.

9552
06:48:24,100 --> 06:48:27,100
I want to say that when problems come

9553
06:48:27,100 --> 06:48:30,100
up very often in the hall, we either

9554
06:48:30,100 --> 06:48:32,100
go to the chief keene or to the

9555
06:48:32,100 --> 06:48:33,100
probation department about them and

9556
06:48:33,100 --> 06:48:36,100
it's always not their purview.

9557
06:48:36,100 --> 06:48:38,100
sometimes very often we get pointed

9558
06:48:38,100 --> 06:48:42,100
back to you folks so our ask today is

9559
06:48:42,100 --> 06:48:44,100
the things that are within your

9560
06:48:44,100 --> 06:48:45,100
purview, will you please work with us

9561
06:48:45,100 --> 06:48:48,601
in the community, with probation, with

9562
06:48:49,100 --> 06:48:52,100
jjdpc, with the community partners and

9563
06:48:52,100 --> 06:48:54,100
try to address some of these things

9564
06:48:54,100 --> 06:48:56,100
that keep getting brought up over and

9565
06:48:56,100 --> 06:48:58,100
over again and also when we have one

9566
06:48:58,100 --> 06:49:01,100
to two minute to speak, very often we

9567
06:49:01,100 --> 06:49:02,100
don't get to say the thank you I want

9568
06:49:02,100 --> 06:49:04,100
to say today, thank you tonight, it

9569
06:49:04,100 --> 06:49:06,100
does seem like the middle of the night

9570
06:49:06,100 --> 06:49:07,100
right now.

9571
06:49:07,100 --> 06:49:10,100
we just bring up our concerns and so

9572
06:49:10,100 --> 06:49:14,100
please don't take that as an offense,

9573
06:49:14,100 --> 06:49:15,100
anybody, it's because it's the

9574
06:49:15,100 --> 06:49:16,100
way we can get those concerns heard.

9575
06:49:16,100 --> 06:49:18,100
thank you.

9576
06:49:18,100 --> 06:49:19,100
>> thank you.

9577
06:49:19,100 --> 06:49:22,100
and then next is maria.

9578
06:49:23,100 --> 06:49:24,100
is she still here?

9579
06:49:24,100 --> 06:49:25,100
no?

9580
06:49:25,100 --> 06:49:26,100
okay.

9581
06:49:26,100 --> 06:49:28,100
then melissa wilson.

9582
06:49:32,100 --> 06:49:35,100
>> hi, good afternoon, thank you for

9583
06:49:35,100 --> 06:49:36,100
taking the time for this.

9584
06:49:36,100 --> 06:49:39,100
I would like to address data sharing.

9585
06:49:39,100 --> 06:49:41,100
probation requires its community

9586
06:49:41,100 --> 06:49:43,100
providers to collect outcome data and

9587
06:49:43,100 --> 06:49:46,100
those programs report six month post

9588
06:49:46,100 --> 06:49:48,100
program outcomes including new law

9589
06:49:48,100 --> 06:49:50,100
violations, however there's very

9590
06:49:50,100 --> 06:49:53,100
little publicly available data in

9591
06:49:54,100 --> 06:49:56,401
probation's own performance and

9592
06:49:57,100 --> 06:49:59,100
outcomes, the formal supervised

9593
06:49:59,100 --> 06:50:01,100
probation, probation reports new

9594
06:50:01,100 --> 06:50:04,100
violations while youth are under

9595
06:50:04,100 --> 06:50:07,100
supervision but does not report

9596
06:50:07,100 --> 06:50:09,100
comparable outcomes after probation

9597
06:50:09,100 --> 06:50:10,100
ends.

9598
06:50:10,100 --> 06:50:12,100
marin county has published any

9599
06:50:12,100 --> 06:50:15,100
adjudications of two years of juvenile

9600
06:50:15,100 --> 06:50:17,100
case closure for the general

9601
06:50:17,100 --> 06:50:19,100
population after probation ended.

9602
06:50:19,100 --> 06:50:22,100
why can't san mateo provide comparable

9603
06:50:22,100 --> 06:50:23,100
post probation outcome data?

9604
06:50:23,100 --> 06:50:25,100
as the chief noted today, the data

9605
06:50:25,100 --> 06:50:28,601
they collect is provided to state

9606
06:50:29,100 --> 06:50:30,100
funders and regulators, however these

9607
06:50:30,100 --> 06:50:33,100
reports are in many different

9608
06:50:33,100 --> 06:50:35,100
locations and require high level

9609
06:50:35,100 --> 06:50:37,100
content knowledge to read.

9610
06:50:37,100 --> 06:50:40,100
I ask the board to request that

9611
06:50:40,100 --> 06:50:42,100
probation make meaningful outcome data

9612
06:50:42,100 --> 06:50:44,100
available to the public.

9613
06:50:44,100 --> 06:50:46,100
I also just want to thank the board

9614
06:50:46,100 --> 06:50:49,100
for spending time today and listening

9615
06:50:49,100 --> 06:50:52,100
to all the various very complicated

9616
06:50:52,100 --> 06:50:55,100
issues that make up the juvenile

9617
06:50:55,100 --> 06:50:57,100
justice system and I was touched

9618
06:50:57,100 --> 06:50:59,100
noelia by you sharing your personal

9619
06:50:59,100 --> 06:51:01,100
history with us.

9620
06:51:01,100 --> 06:51:04,100
I thought that that really framed the

9621
06:51:04,100 --> 06:51:05,100
issues that are present there the

9622
06:51:05,100 --> 06:51:06,100
youth in our system.

9623
06:51:06,100 --> 06:51:08,100
thank you.

9624
06:51:08,100 --> 06:51:09,100
>> thank you.

9625
06:51:09,100 --> 06:51:12,100
and we'll go to zoom now for item 6

9626
06:51:12,100 --> 06:51:13,100
for public comment.

9627
06:51:13,100 --> 06:51:14,100
raise your hand at this time, it's a

9628
06:51:14,100 --> 06:51:16,100
final call.

9629
06:51:16,100 --> 06:51:17,100
alright, we have five hands raised at

9630
06:51:17,100 --> 06:51:19,100
this time.

9631
06:51:19,100 --> 06:51:21,401
please unmute and begin.

9632
06:51:24,100 --> 06:51:25,100
liz?

9633
06:51:25,100 --> 06:51:27,100
>> thank you so much, council, for

9634
06:51:27,100 --> 06:51:29,100
scheduling this study session.

9635
06:51:29,100 --> 06:51:31,100
I think everyone here cares about our

9636
06:51:31,100 --> 06:51:34,100
youth and we want to ensure that

9637
06:51:34,100 --> 06:51:35,100
they're all ready to succeed when they

9638
06:51:35,100 --> 06:51:37,100
get out.

9639
06:51:37,100 --> 06:51:40,100
I want to emphasize that these

9640
06:51:40,100 --> 06:51:43,100
children are innocent until they are

9641
06:51:43,100 --> 06:51:45,100
proven guilty and about half the kids

9642
06:51:45,100 --> 06:51:48,100
in custody at any given time of course

9643
06:51:48,100 --> 06:51:51,100
it varies, they have not had their cases

9644
06:51:51,100 --> 06:51:53,100
decided by a judge.

9645
06:51:53,100 --> 06:51:55,100
I want to bring attention to several

9646
06:51:55,100 --> 06:51:57,100
other things including the housing

9647
06:51:57,100 --> 06:52:00,601
assignment risks where youth of all

9648
06:52:02,100 --> 06:52:04,100
genders and disparate ages basically

9649
06:52:04,100 --> 06:52:07,100
sometimes end up being housed together

9650
06:52:07,100 --> 06:52:10,100
which raise serious safety concerns.

9651
06:52:13,100 --> 06:52:15,100
furthermore, there is -- I wanted to

9652
06:52:15,100 --> 06:52:18,100
make sure there's a way for the youth

9653
06:52:18,100 --> 06:52:22,201
to make a complaint in compliance with

9654
06:52:23,100 --> 06:52:26,100
the prea, outside of probation

9655
06:52:27,100 --> 06:52:30,601
department, so that we can address

9656
06:52:32,100 --> 06:52:34,100
concerns about prior staff members

9657
06:52:34,100 --> 06:52:36,100
that were arrested.

9658
06:52:38,100 --> 06:52:40,100
there of course have been enough said

9659
06:52:40,100 --> 06:52:42,100
about the food service and I think

9660
06:52:42,100 --> 06:52:45,100
improvement, we are very grateful

9661
06:52:45,100 --> 06:52:46,100
for.

9662
06:52:46,100 --> 06:52:49,100
and finally as the prior speaker said,

9663
06:52:49,100 --> 06:52:53,100
we want to be more transparent about

9664
06:52:53,100 --> 06:52:55,100
the youth's involvement in the legal

9665
06:52:55,100 --> 06:52:57,100
system as much as the ratio of the

9666
06:52:57,100 --> 06:52:58,100
youth being held before and after

9667
06:52:58,100 --> 06:53:01,100
their cases have been adjudicated,

9668
06:53:01,100 --> 06:53:03,100
whether or not they're being detained

9669
06:53:03,100 --> 06:53:06,100
for a misdemeanor or felony

9670
06:53:07,100 --> 06:53:10,100
and the length of their stay and

9671
06:53:10,100 --> 06:53:12,100
strong reentry support which we are

9672
06:53:12,100 --> 06:53:14,100
grateful for the work that's being

9673
06:53:14,100 --> 06:53:17,100
done by many different organizations.

9674
06:53:17,100 --> 06:53:19,100
I'm a voter and I'm paying attention

9675
06:53:19,100 --> 06:53:21,100
and I'm a member of the public who

9676
06:53:21,100 --> 06:53:23,100
deeply cares about all the children in

9677
06:53:23,100 --> 06:53:24,100
our care.

9678
06:53:24,100 --> 06:53:26,100
thank you.

9679
06:53:26,100 --> 06:53:28,100
>> thank you.

9680
06:53:28,100 --> 06:53:30,100
we have four more speakers.

9681
06:53:30,100 --> 06:53:33,100
paul, please unmute and begin.

9682
06:53:34,100 --> 06:53:36,100
>> good afternoon, everyone, sorry I

9683
06:53:36,100 --> 06:53:39,100

9684
06:53:39,100 --> 06:53:42,100
been to two doctors office, san mateo

9685
06:53:42,100 --> 06:53:44,100
and sutter and that was the first

9686
06:53:44,100 --> 06:53:46,100
sometime in a board of supervisor

9687
06:53:46,100 --> 06:53:47,100
meeting.

9688
06:53:47,100 --> 06:53:51,100
I want to say thank you to all of the

9689
06:53:51,100 --> 06:53:52,100
supervisors for this opportunity to

9690
06:53:52,100 --> 06:53:55,100
speak and for bringing this historic

9691
06:53:55,100 --> 06:53:57,401
study session to fruition.

9692
06:53:58,100 --> 06:54:03,100
I am just floored by the unity in this

9693
06:54:03,100 --> 06:54:05,100
room and across the county that has

9694
06:54:05,100 --> 06:54:06,100
presented itself today and I want to

9695
06:54:06,100 --> 06:54:10,100
say thank you to all of you who I have

9696
06:54:10,100 --> 06:54:12,401
worked with, big props.

9697
06:54:16,100 --> 06:54:20,100
secondly, I would like to say every

9698
06:54:20,100 --> 06:54:23,100
idea that was presented by the

9699
06:54:23,100 --> 06:54:25,100
supervisors, I agree with 100%.

9700
06:54:25,100 --> 06:54:28,100
if I have said or done something in

9701
06:54:28,100 --> 06:54:30,100
the work that I do that has offended

9702
06:54:30,100 --> 06:54:32,100
someone, I would like to reset.

9703
06:54:32,100 --> 06:54:35,100
when we started this, supervisor

9704
06:54:36,100 --> 06:54:38,401
canepa, chief keene, reimagine

9705
06:54:40,100 --> 06:54:41,100
juvenile hall, about six years ago and

9706
06:54:41,100 --> 06:54:44,100
look where we're at today.

9707
06:54:44,100 --> 06:54:46,100
still pushing, shining the light for

9708
06:54:46,100 --> 06:54:48,100
the same purpose which is community

9709
06:54:48,100 --> 06:54:49,100
safety.

9710
06:54:49,100 --> 06:54:53,801
I live in redwood city, I'm going to

9711
06:54:57,100 --> 06:54:58,100
to be mere for the rest of my life,

9712
06:54:58,100 --> 06:54:59,100
this is the second largest arrest

9713
06:54:59,100 --> 06:55:00,100
population in the county.

9714
06:55:00,100 --> 06:55:01,100
I want to make sure those kids are

9715
06:55:01,100 --> 06:55:02,100
going to be friendly to me and my

9716
06:55:02,100 --> 06:55:03,100
family when they get back just like you

06:55:03,100 --> 06:55:06,100

and begin.

9725
06:55:25,100 --> 06:55:27,100
>> good afternoon, president, and

9726
06:55:27,100 --> 06:55:29,100
board of supervisors, thank you for

9727
06:55:29,100 --> 06:55:30,100
scheduling this session.

9728
06:55:30,100 --> 06:55:32,100
I live in san mateo and like all of

9729
06:55:32,100 --> 06:55:35,100
you, I care about all of our children.

9730
06:55:35,100 --> 06:55:39,801
today I just want to ask for greater

9731
06:55:41,100 --> 06:55:42,100
transparency regarding youth

9732
06:55:42,100 --> 06:55:45,100
involvement in our juvenile justice

9733
06:55:46,100 --> 06:55:47,100
system.

9734
06:55:47,100 --> 06:55:50,100
I want to thank the probation

9735
06:55:50,100 --> 06:55:51,100
department for push publishing data on

9736
06:55:51,100 --> 06:55:52,100
its website.

9737
06:55:52,100 --> 06:55:55,601
the department states as a certified

9738
06:55:56,100 --> 06:55:57,100
evidence based organization, it is

9739
06:55:57,100 --> 06:56:00,100
committed to data driven policies,

9740
06:56:05,100 --> 06:56:06,100
transparency and that data page will

9741
06:56:06,100 --> 06:56:09,100
continue to be updated quarterly with

9742
06:56:09,100 --> 06:56:10,100
additional information the future,

9743
06:56:10,100 --> 06:56:12,100
that is a positive first step, the

9744
06:56:12,100 --> 06:56:14,100
information used to be more accessible

9745
06:56:14,100 --> 06:56:17,100
and meaningful to the general public.

9746
06:56:17,100 --> 06:56:19,100
for someone who doesn't work in the

9747
06:56:19,100 --> 06:56:21,401
field, terminology and acronyms

9748
06:56:26,100 --> 06:56:28,100
subchaser djj, fpp and wrap around can

9749
06:56:28,100 --> 06:56:31,100
be difficult to understand, the public

9750
06:56:31,100 --> 06:56:33,100
should not need specialized knowledge

9751
06:56:33,100 --> 06:56:36,100
to interpret children that are in our

9752
06:56:36,100 --> 06:56:37,100
county's care.

9753
06:56:37,100 --> 06:56:39,100
we also need more information why

9754
06:56:39,100 --> 06:56:42,601
youth are being detained and what

9755
06:56:43,100 --> 06:56:45,401
happened to them afterwards,

9756
06:56:46,100 --> 06:56:47,100
transparency isn't about putting

9757
06:56:47,100 --> 06:56:50,100
numbers on a web page, it is about

9758
06:56:50,100 --> 06:56:51,100
presenting information in a way the

9759
06:56:51,100 --> 06:56:53,100
public can understand and use it to

9760
06:56:53,100 --> 06:56:55,401
keep our systems accountable.

9761
06:56:56,100 --> 06:56:57,100
our youth, their families and the

9762
06:56:57,100 --> 06:56:59,100
people of san mateo county deserve

9763
06:56:59,100 --> 06:57:00,100
that level of transparency.

9764
06:57:00,100 --> 06:57:02,100
thank you.

9765
06:57:02,100 --> 06:57:03,100
>> thank you.

9766
06:57:03,100 --> 06:57:05,100
and next we have edgar, please unmute

9767
06:57:05,100 --> 06:57:07,100
and begin.

9768
06:57:12,100 --> 06:57:14,100
>> my name is edgar, I'm a policy

9769
06:57:14,100 --> 06:57:17,100
associate with the center for youth

9770
06:57:17,100 --> 06:57:18,100
law.

9771
06:57:18,100 --> 06:57:19,100
I want to start off by thanking supervisor

9772
06:57:19,100 --> 06:57:21,100
corzo and everyone else who made this

9773
06:57:21,100 --> 06:57:24,100
study session happen, it's been a long

9774
06:57:24,100 --> 06:57:25,100
day for y'all, I could only imagine

9775
06:57:25,100 --> 06:57:28,100
and all the information, testimonials,

9776
06:57:29,100 --> 06:57:30,100
thou, ideas, questions that were

9777
06:57:30,100 --> 06:57:31,100
shared and offered today are super

9778
06:57:31,100 --> 06:57:33,401
frontier getting this right.

9779
06:57:34,100 --> 06:57:37,601
the california youth authority was in

9780
06:57:38,100 --> 06:57:41,100
place for almost 100 years or a little

9781
06:57:41,100 --> 06:57:43,100
bit over 100 years and it took a while

9782
06:57:43,100 --> 06:57:47,100
for it to get to the place it was,

9783
06:57:47,100 --> 06:57:50,100
these type of conversations are really

9784
06:57:50,100 --> 06:57:51,100
important.

9785
06:57:51,100 --> 06:57:56,401
I want to give a special shout out to

9786
06:57:57,100 --> 06:58:00,100
fly, the folks navigating the system,

9787
06:58:00,100 --> 06:58:03,100
its's frontier have those credible

9788
06:58:03,100 --> 06:58:04,100
messengers, those opportunities for

9789
06:58:04,100 --> 06:58:06,100
education and employment.

9790
06:58:06,100 --> 06:58:09,100
it's clear a lot of the community

9791
06:58:09,100 --> 06:58:11,100
system stakeholders want -- we want to

9792
06:58:11,100 --> 06:58:13,100
get the system right but I think for

9793
06:58:13,100 --> 06:58:14,100
us, for this body, it's important to

9794
06:58:14,100 --> 06:58:17,601
just look outside of the jjdpc,

9795
06:58:18,100 --> 06:58:19,100
there's opportunities in different

9796
06:58:19,100 --> 06:58:22,100
spaces such as the sb823 subcommittee

9797
06:58:22,100 --> 06:58:25,100
that focuses on the justice

9798
06:58:25,100 --> 06:58:27,100
realignment block grant that are

9799
06:58:27,100 --> 06:58:28,100
dollar specific for people who are

9800
06:58:28,100 --> 06:58:30,100
going to be there for long periods of

9801
06:58:30,100 --> 06:58:32,100
time, there's the comprehensive

9802
06:58:32,100 --> 06:58:34,100
multiagency juvenile justice

9803
06:58:34,100 --> 06:58:37,100
plan put together by the jcc, it's

9804
06:58:37,100 --> 06:58:39,100
either a five year, ten year depending

9805
06:58:39,100 --> 06:58:41,100
on the county, those are to engage

9806
06:58:41,100 --> 06:58:43,100
manfully and reach community members and

9807
06:58:43,100 --> 06:58:45,100
bring young people to the table to

9808
06:58:45,100 --> 06:58:47,100
share their experiences, parents to

9809
06:58:47,100 --> 06:58:49,100
the table to share their experience

9810
06:58:49,100 --> 06:58:51,100
and find solutions that not just look

9811
06:58:51,100 --> 06:58:54,100
for the moment but to the future,

9812
06:58:54,100 --> 06:58:55,100
right.

9813
06:58:55,100 --> 06:58:56,100
I think that's the most important

9814
06:58:56,100 --> 06:58:58,100
thing we do,

9815
06:58:59,100 --> 06:59:01,100
things are changing, the ability to

9816
06:59:01,100 --> 06:59:04,100
apply the resources from the county in

9817
06:59:04,100 --> 06:59:06,100

9850
07:00:24,100 --> 07:00:27,100
I'm beverly gerard and I'm a member of

9851
07:00:27,100 --> 07:00:29,100
the county board of education and I

9852
07:00:29,100 --> 07:00:32,100
want to thank the board of supervisors

9853
07:00:32,100 --> 07:00:35,601
for having this study session today.

9854
07:00:37,100 --> 07:00:40,100
it has really been an eye opener and

9855
07:00:40,100 --> 07:00:42,100
full of information that I think will

9856
07:00:42,100 --> 07:00:46,100
be very, very useful to the county

9857
07:00:46,100 --> 07:00:49,100
board and how we address our students.

9858
07:00:49,100 --> 07:00:51,100
the current community schools are

9859
07:00:51,100 --> 07:00:54,100
under the jurisdiction of the county

9860
07:00:54,100 --> 07:00:57,100
board of education and so we create

9861
07:00:57,100 --> 07:01:00,100
the policies, the curriculum, we

9862
07:01:00,100 --> 07:01:03,100
approve and we also approve the

9863
07:01:03,100 --> 07:01:04,100
budget.

9864
07:01:04,100 --> 07:01:07,100
and I think it was invaluable to see

9865
07:01:07,100 --> 07:01:10,601
what is happening before our students

9866
07:01:11,100 --> 07:01:16,100
come to us as well as some of the

9867
07:01:16,100 --> 07:01:17,100
opportunities that are available once

9868
07:01:17,100 --> 07:01:20,100

07:01:20,100 --> 07:01:22,100

07:01:30,100 --> 07:01:34,100
a study session, we do not have to

9877
07:01:34,100 --> 07:01:36,100

07:01:50,100 --> 07:01:53,100
done this, I ask the board to take my

9885
07:01:53,100 --> 07:01:55,100
measure k item which is item 17 and

9886
07:01:55,100 --> 07:01:56,100
that's a motion.

9887
07:01:56,100 --> 07:01:59,100
>> so you would like to move item 17

9888
07:01:59,100 --> 07:02:00,100

9889
07:02:00,100 --> 07:02:01,100

9893
07:02:07,100 --> 07:02:10,100
>> which number because item 17 was

9894
07:02:10,100 --> 07:02:11,100
heard with item 9.

9895
07:02:11,100 --> 07:02:13,100
>> it wasn't 17.

9896
07:02:13,100 --> 07:02:15,401
>> it's item 17, measure k.

9897
07:02:16,100 --> 07:02:17,100

have about 20 speakers, but I don't

9919
07:02:53,100 --> 07:02:55,100
think I'm going to ask --

9920
07:02:55,100 --> 07:02:57,100
>> you better not.

9921
07:02:58,100 --> 07:03:02,100

virtually and we have county staff here,

9923
07:03:04,100 --> 07:03:07,100
I think we're going to bypass them and

9924
07:03:07,100 --> 07:03:11,100
what I would like to do is I would

9925
07:03:11,100 --> 07:03:12,100
like to move the item, so I would like

07:03:12,100 --> 07:03:13,100

>> hi, I'll be brief, my name's april

9981
07:05:13,100 --> 07:05:16,100
vargas, I'm with a volunteer group

9982
07:05:16,100 --> 07:05:18,100
called resistance task force, we had

9983
07:05:18,100 --> 07:05:20,100
the great pleasure to have a booth at

9984
07:05:20,100 --> 07:05:23,100
last year's top of the hill festival.

9985
07:05:23,100 --> 07:05:25,100
I sent the board members an e-mail

9986
07:05:25,100 --> 07:05:28,100
with detailers but we had so many

9987
07:05:28,100 --> 07:05:31,100
people, we were doing non-partisan

9988
07:05:31,100 --> 07:05:32,100
voter registration and voter

9989
07:05:32,100 --> 07:05:34,100
information, we had so many people

9990
07:05:34,100 --> 07:05:36,100
come up with questions.

9991
07:05:36,100 --> 07:05:39,100
I didn't get my ballot, what should I

9992
07:05:39,100 --> 07:05:40,100
do, where's a goaded place for me to

9993
07:05:40,100 --> 07:05:43,100
hand in my ballot because I don't want

9994
07:05:43,100 --> 07:05:46,100
to put it in the mailbox and a lot of

9995
07:05:46,100 --> 07:05:48,100
other discussions about registering to

9996
07:05:48,100 --> 07:05:51,100
vote, whether you're 18 years old, so

9997
07:05:51,100 --> 07:05:53,100
not only is this as previously

9998
07:05:53,100 --> 07:05:55,100
speakers have said a great way for the

9999
07:05:55,100 --> 07:05:57,100
community to come together, it also is

10000
07:05:57,100 --> 07:05:59,100
a really important way for people in

10001
07:05:59,100 --> 07:06:02,601
the community to learn about civic

10002
07:06:03,100 --> 07:06:05,100
engagement, get information about

10003
07:06:05,100 --> 07:06:07,100
community services that are available

10004
07:06:07,100 --> 07:06:09,100
and feel that other people in the

10005
07:06:09,100 --> 07:06:11,100
county want to learn about daly city

10006
07:06:11,100 --> 07:06:13,100
and be part of the greater community,

10007
07:06:13,100 --> 07:06:18,100
so I urge you to pass this request for

10008
07:06:18,100 --> 07:06:21,601
the 75 thousand dollars so this very

10009
07:06:22,100 --> 07:06:23,100

07:06:28,100 --> 07:06:30,100
>> alright.

>> first of all, I would like to

10019
07:06:40,100 --> 07:06:44,801
ipad and I can't change it, this is

10020
07:06:46,100 --> 07:06:48,100
theresa, daly city, I just wanted to

10021
07:06:48,100 --> 07:06:51,100
just kind of reiterate what people

10022
07:06:51,100 --> 07:06:54,100
have said, respectfully asking the

10023
07:06:55,100 --> 07:06:58,100
board to consider the top of the hill

10024
07:06:58,100 --> 07:06:59,100
event.

10025
07:06:59,100 --> 07:07:01,100
it is spectacular, we hope to have --

10026
07:07:01,100 --> 07:07:04,100
we mad 20, 30 thousand people, I'm

10027
07:07:04,100 --> 07:07:06,100
guessing maybe 50 thousand, so please

10028
07:07:06,100 --> 07:07:07,100
consider it, we thank you for your

10029
07:07:07,100 --> 07:07:08,100
consideration and hope to see you

10030
07:07:08,100 --> 07:07:09,100
there.

10031
07:07:09,100 --> 07:07:10,100
thank you.

10032
07:07:10,100 --> 07:07:11,100
>> thank you, theresa.

10033
07:07:11,100 --> 07:07:12,100
>> thank you.

10034
07:07:12,100 --> 07:07:14,100
>> that was our last speaker I think.

10035
07:07:14,100 --> 07:07:15,100
>> that is our last speaker.

10036
07:07:15,100 --> 07:07:19,100
>> we have a motion and a second.

10037
07:07:19,100 --> 07:07:22,100
I want to say something real quick.

10038
07:07:22,100 --> 07:07:24,100
I'm going to say it.

10039
07:07:24,100 --> 07:07:26,100
I believe this is the third year that

10040
07:07:26,100 --> 07:07:30,100
you've had this measure k item and I

10041
07:07:30,100 --> 07:07:32,100
believe the rules for measure k are

10042
07:07:32,100 --> 07:07:35,100
that we're only supposed to do

10043
07:07:35,100 --> 07:07:39,100
one-time for measure k funds and so I

10044
07:07:39,100 --> 07:07:43,100
think that we -- in light of the

10045
07:07:43,100 --> 07:07:46,601
situation that we're in with vlf

10046
07:07:47,100 --> 07:07:49,100
funding, we need to be more careful

10047
07:07:49,100 --> 07:07:52,100
about that and make sure we're

10048
07:07:52,100 --> 07:07:53,100
communicating to our organizations

10049
07:07:53,100 --> 07:07:56,100
and to our cities and to everyone that

10050
07:07:56,100 --> 07:07:58,100
they are probably not going to be able

10051
07:07:58,100 --> 07:07:59,100
to rely on this funding going

10052
07:07:59,100 --> 07:08:02,100
forward and also the rules for measure

10053
07:08:02,100 --> 07:08:04,100
k are tech flick that it's supposed to

10054
07:08:04,100 --> 07:08:06,100
be one-time only and if by some

10055
07:08:06,100 --> 07:08:10,100
miracle we are able to figure out our

10056
07:08:10,100 --> 07:08:13,100
in lieu vlf situation, we either need

10057
07:08:13,100 --> 07:08:17,100
to update our measure k rules to allow

10058
07:08:17,100 --> 07:08:20,100
for it to not be one-time so I will be

10059
07:08:20,100 --> 07:08:24,201
voting for it today but I do

10060
07:08:25,100 --> 07:08:28,100
think that we should be following the

10061
07:08:28,100 --> 07:08:32,100
rules of measure k, so roll call vote,

10062
07:08:32,100 --> 07:08:33,100
please.

10063
07:08:33,100 --> 07:08:34,100
>> supervisor speier is absent.

10064
07:08:34,100 --> 07:08:35,100
supervisor mueller?

10065
07:08:35,100 --> 07:08:36,100
>> yes.

10066
07:08:36,100 --> 07:08:37,100
>> supervisor gauthier?

10067
07:08:37,100 --> 07:08:38,100
>> yes.

10068
07:08:38,100 --> 07:08:39,100
>> supervisor canepa

10069
07:08:39,100 --> 07:08:40,100

>> president corzo?

10071
07:08:41,100 --> 07:08:42,100
>> yes.

10072
07:08:42,100 --> 07:08:44,100
>> motion passes.

10073
07:08:44,100 --> 07:08:45,100
>> okay, we are now moving --

10074
07:08:45,100 --> 07:08:49,201
>> congrats, we are moving on to item

10075
07:08:52,100 --> 07:08:53,100
number 12 can which I believe is a

10076
07:08:53,100 --> 07:08:55,100
public hearing.

10077
07:08:55,100 --> 07:08:59,100
I don't remember which one but you are

10078
07:08:59,100 --> 07:09:02,601
going to tell us, thank you.

10079
07:09:04,100 --> 07:09:06,100
>> thanks, good afternoon, president

10080
07:09:06,100 --> 07:09:08,100
corzo and supervisors, executive

10081
07:09:08,100 --> 07:09:10,100
staff, item number 12 is consideration

10082
07:09:10,100 --> 07:09:14,100
of an amendment to our local coastal

10083
07:09:14,100 --> 07:09:16,100
program, policy 1.23 which establishes

10084
07:09:16,100 --> 07:09:19,100
an annual limit on the number of new

10085
07:09:19,100 --> 07:09:20,100
residential units that may be

10086
07:09:20,100 --> 07:09:23,100
permitted within the mid coast urban

10087
07:09:23,100 --> 07:09:27,100
area to 40 unit per year with limited

10088
07:09:27,100 --> 07:09:29,401
exceptions for affordable housing

10089
07:09:32,100 --> 07:09:33,100
units.

10090
07:09:33,100 --> 07:09:35,100
as the supervisors know, our local

10091
07:09:35,100 --> 07:09:38,100
coastal program, our lcp is part of

10092
07:09:38,100 --> 07:09:40,100
the county general plan that regulates

10093
07:09:40,100 --> 07:09:42,100
development in the coastal zone and

10094
07:09:42,100 --> 07:09:44,100
has specific provisions for the mid

10095
07:09:44,100 --> 07:09:46,100
coast urban area which extends north

10096
07:09:46,100 --> 07:09:49,100
from the city of half moon bay to and

10097
07:09:49,100 --> 07:09:51,100
including the community of montera, with

10098
07:09:51,100 --> 07:09:54,100
regard to the growth limit, the lcp had a

10099
07:09:54,100 --> 07:09:57,100
a limit of 125 units per year, in

10100
07:09:57,100 --> 07:09:59,100
2006, the county proposed reducing

10101
07:09:59,100 --> 07:10:02,100
that to 75 units, that was not

10102
07:10:02,100 --> 07:10:04,100
acceptable to the coastal commission

10103
07:10:04,100 --> 07:10:07,100
and we negotiated what is currently in

10104
07:10:07,100 --> 07:10:10,100
place, a limit of 40 units per year.

10105
07:10:10,100 --> 07:10:12,100
the reason those limits are in place

10106
07:10:12,100 --> 07:10:15,100
is due to concerns regarding this

10107
07:10:15,100 --> 07:10:17,100
efficiency of infrastructure,

10108
07:10:17,100 --> 07:10:19,100
particularly roadways, wastewater

10109
07:10:19,100 --> 07:10:22,601
systems and the 40% equates to a

10110
07:10:23,100 --> 07:10:25,100
1% growth rate which is similar to the

10111
07:10:25,100 --> 07:10:28,100
city of half moon bay.

10112
07:10:28,100 --> 07:10:30,100
this growth limit will remain in

10113
07:10:30,100 --> 07:10:33,100
effect until such a time that a

10114
07:10:33,100 --> 07:10:34,100
comprehensive transportation

10115
07:10:34,100 --> 07:10:36,100
management plan is certified by the

10116
07:10:36,100 --> 07:10:38,401
coastal commission, stormwater and

10117
07:10:39,100 --> 07:10:41,100
sewage facilities are improved.

10118
07:10:41,100 --> 07:10:42,100
>> is a hearing required on this?

10119
07:10:42,100 --> 07:10:43,100
>> yes.

10120
07:10:43,100 --> 07:10:45,100
>> it is, okay.

10121
07:10:46,100 --> 07:10:50,100
>> I will go as quickly as I can, so,

10122
07:10:50,100 --> 07:10:53,100
as I noted, there's exception to the

10123
07:10:53,100 --> 07:10:56,100
40 unit limit for affordable housing

10124
07:10:56,100 --> 07:10:58,100
where we're allowed to exceed the 40

10125
07:10:58,100 --> 07:11:01,100
unit limit only for affordable housing

10126
07:11:01,100 --> 07:11:03,100
projects but that comes out of

10127
07:11:03,100 --> 07:11:05,100
subsequent years so, over the three

10128
07:11:05,100 --> 07:11:08,100
year period, we can't approve more

10129
07:11:08,100 --> 07:11:10,100
than 120 units.

10130
07:11:11,100 --> 07:11:13,100
the key issue here is we exceeded this

10131
07:11:13,100 --> 07:11:16,601
limit in 2025 when we approved the

10132
07:11:17,100 --> 07:11:18,100
cypress point affordable housing

10133
07:11:18,100 --> 07:11:19,100
project.

10134
07:11:19,100 --> 07:11:22,100
as a result, the county is not limited

10135
07:11:22,100 --> 07:11:25,100
to issuing permits for 18 residential

10136
07:11:26,100 --> 07:11:28,100
units until 2028.

10137
07:11:30,100 --> 07:11:32,100
we've had to stop accepting building

10138
07:11:32,100 --> 07:11:34,100
applications and we've been working

10139
07:11:34,100 --> 07:11:35,100
hard to come up with a solution

10140
07:11:35,100 --> 07:11:37,401
acceptable to the community.

10141
07:11:39,100 --> 07:11:41,100
so, another consideration of course is

10142
07:11:41,100 --> 07:11:43,100
our housing almost.

10143
07:11:43,100 --> 07:11:45,100
there's a policy in housing element,

10144
07:11:45,100 --> 07:11:48,100
we were required to have by the state

10145
07:11:48,100 --> 07:11:52,201
to address the quota which is a

10146
07:11:53,100 --> 07:11:55,100
concern statewide to the housing and

10147
07:11:55,100 --> 07:11:57,100
community development department.

10148
07:11:59,100 --> 07:12:01,100
per policy 11.6, should we reach the

10149
07:12:01,100 --> 07:12:04,100
cap, we are required to within one

10150
07:12:04,100 --> 07:12:06,100
calendar year pursue an amendment to

10151
07:12:06,100 --> 07:12:09,601
that cap to increase it by 50%.

10152
07:12:12,100 --> 07:12:16,100
okay, another key issue to keep in

10153
07:12:16,100 --> 07:12:20,201
mind is that we have averaged about 30

10154
07:12:21,100 --> 07:12:23,100
units per year over the past six

10155
07:12:23,100 --> 07:12:25,100
years so, by being limited to 18 units

10156
07:12:25,100 --> 07:12:28,100
this year, there will be a pent up

10157
07:12:28,100 --> 07:12:31,100
demand for additional units that will

10158
07:12:31,100 --> 07:12:33,401
cascade into future years.

10159
07:12:37,100 --> 07:12:39,100
so, the options available to the

10160
07:12:39,100 --> 07:12:41,100
[inaudible] fall into two buckets, the

10161
07:12:41,100 --> 07:12:43,100
first is we can propose to increase a

10162
07:12:43,100 --> 07:12:46,100
cap, that's going to require coastal

10163
07:12:46,100 --> 07:12:48,100
commission approval and detailed

10164
07:12:48,100 --> 07:12:51,100
consideration of all the bulleted

10165
07:12:52,100 --> 07:12:54,401
items on this slide.

10166
07:12:57,100 --> 07:12:59,100
another alternative is to maintain the

10167
07:12:59,100 --> 07:13:02,100
cap and change the method of averaging.

10168
07:13:02,100 --> 07:13:05,100
we are pursuing the latter, it's clear

10169
07:13:05,100 --> 07:13:06,100
from our work with the community that

10170
07:13:06,100 --> 07:13:10,100
many do not support an increase in the

10171
07:13:10,100 --> 07:13:12,100
cap due to concerns about

10172
07:13:12,100 --> 07:13:13,100
infrastructure, so our proposed

10173
07:13:13,100 --> 07:13:16,100
solution keeps the cap but allows us

10174
07:13:16,100 --> 07:13:18,100
to take advantage of unused credits

10175
07:13:18,100 --> 07:13:20,100
from prior years.

10176
07:13:22,100 --> 07:13:24,100
this approach was endorsed by the

10177
07:13:24,100 --> 07:13:27,100
planning commission in may where the

10178
07:13:27,100 --> 07:13:29,100
community council had some significant

10179
07:13:29,100 --> 07:13:31,100
concerns about it in response to their

10180
07:13:31,100 --> 07:13:33,100
concerns, we convened a community

10181
07:13:33,100 --> 07:13:35,401
meeting where we presented

10182
07:13:36,100 --> 07:13:39,100
alternatives and I will share that

10183
07:13:39,100 --> 07:13:40,100
here.

10184
07:13:40,100 --> 07:13:43,601
we had five alternatives, do nothing,

10185
07:13:44,100 --> 07:13:47,100
change the method looking forward, two

10186
07:13:47,100 --> 07:13:50,100
options of that, and then the option e

10187
07:13:50,100 --> 07:13:53,100
is the one that staff is recommending,

10188
07:13:53,100 --> 07:13:56,100
use the unused permits from past years

10189
07:13:56,100 --> 07:13:59,601
dating back to 2013 when this cap

10190
07:14:02,100 --> 07:14:04,100
was established and then was

10191
07:14:04,100 --> 07:14:06,100
to only go back ten years.

10192
07:14:06,100 --> 07:14:10,100
as you can see on the right, we had a

10193
07:14:10,100 --> 07:14:13,100
large majority of participants support

10194
07:14:13,100 --> 07:14:16,601
the looking back approach with the

10195
07:14:17,100 --> 07:14:18,100
majority supporting looking back to

10196
07:14:18,100 --> 07:14:19,100
2013.

10197
07:14:19,100 --> 07:14:21,100
this is the data from the night we

10198
07:14:21,100 --> 07:14:23,100
convened the community meeting.

10199
07:14:23,100 --> 07:14:25,100
we took a live poll but we kept it

10200
07:14:25,100 --> 07:14:28,100
open for another few days and here

10201
07:14:28,100 --> 07:14:31,601
are the results from july 4, no

10202
07:14:32,100 --> 07:14:34,100
significant change, still a large

10203
07:14:34,100 --> 07:14:36,100
majority in favor of what staff is

10204
07:14:36,100 --> 07:14:37,100
proposing.

10205
07:14:37,100 --> 07:14:39,100
so here's the text of the amendment

10206
07:14:39,100 --> 07:14:42,100
that we are asking for your approval

10207
07:14:42,100 --> 07:14:46,100
of and the main part is number 2.

10208
07:14:46,100 --> 07:14:49,100
the portion in blue below is what

10209
07:14:49,100 --> 07:14:51,100
we're proposing where the annual

10210
07:14:51,100 --> 07:14:54,100
average number of permits issued from

10211
07:14:54,100 --> 07:14:55,100
january 2013 which is the year that

10212
07:14:55,100 --> 07:14:58,100
the growth limit was adopted through

10213
07:14:58,100 --> 07:15:01,100
and including the year of building

10214
07:15:01,100 --> 07:15:04,100
permit issue does not exceed 40 units

10215
07:15:04,100 --> 07:15:05,100
per year.

10216
07:15:05,100 --> 07:15:07,100
in other words we keep the cap but

10217
07:15:07,100 --> 07:15:09,100
look backwards to the underutilized

10218
07:15:09,100 --> 07:15:11,100
units that shown on the table to the

10219
07:15:11,100 --> 07:15:12,100
right.

10220
07:15:12,100 --> 07:15:15,100
you can see in 2025 where we exceeded

10221
07:15:15,100 --> 07:15:17,100
the cap, what we're doing is we're

10222
07:15:17,100 --> 07:15:20,100
averaging out the amount that we

10223
07:15:20,100 --> 07:15:23,100
exceeded and that's shown in the light

10224
07:15:23,100 --> 07:15:27,100
blue to the left, that's taken out of

10225
07:15:27,100 --> 07:15:30,601
the orange portion which the orange

10226
07:15:31,100 --> 07:15:33,100
represents units that were not

10227
07:15:33,100 --> 07:15:34,100
permitted.

10228
07:15:34,100 --> 07:15:37,601
we didn't have that many applications,

10229
07:15:38,100 --> 07:15:40,401
so that's the recommendation.

10230
07:15:41,100 --> 07:15:44,100
the coastal commission reviewed an

10231
07:15:44,100 --> 07:15:46,100
approval of this amendment would be

10232
07:15:46,100 --> 07:15:48,100
required, that serves as the

10233
07:15:48,100 --> 07:15:50,100
functional equivalent of ceqa, we're

10234
07:15:50,100 --> 07:15:54,100
asking you to adopt a rec resolution

10235
07:15:54,100 --> 07:15:56,100
directing staffer to submit this local

10236
07:15:56,100 --> 07:15:57,100
coastal amendment to the coastal

10237
07:15:57,100 --> 07:15:58,100
commission.

10238
07:15:58,100 --> 07:16:02,100
>> I move we open the public hearing.

10239
07:16:02,100 --> 07:16:03,100
>> supervisor speier?

10240
07:16:03,100 --> 07:16:04,100
>> aye.

10241
07:16:04,100 --> 07:16:05,100
>> supervisor mueller?

10242
07:16:05,100 --> 07:16:06,100
>> yes.

10243
07:16:06,100 --> 07:16:07,100
>> supervisor gauthier is absent.

10244
07:16:07,100 --> 07:16:08,100
>> supervisor canepa?

10245
07:16:08,100 --> 07:16:09,100
>> yes.

10246
07:16:09,100 --> 07:16:10,100
>> and president corzo?

10247
07:16:10,100 --> 07:16:11,100
>> aye.

10248
07:16:11,100 --> 07:16:13,100
>> motion passes to open the hearing.

10249
07:16:13,100 --> 07:16:15,100
>> let's move on to public comment.

10250
07:16:15,100 --> 07:16:17,100
>> alright, I do not have any public

10251
07:16:17,100 --> 07:16:18,100
comment.

10252
07:16:18,100 --> 07:16:20,100
we do have one hand raised online.

10253
07:16:20,100 --> 07:16:23,601
anne, if you can please unmute.

10254
07:16:26,100 --> 07:16:28,100
and begin.

10255
07:16:36,100 --> 07:16:38,401
anne, can you unmute.

10256
07:16:39,100 --> 07:16:40,100
>> sorry, am I on now?

10257
07:16:40,100 --> 07:16:43,100
>> thank you, sorry, I was speaking to

10258
07:16:43,100 --> 07:16:44,100
myself.

10259
07:16:44,100 --> 07:16:45,100
>> the planning department and the

10260
07:16:45,100 --> 07:16:48,100
board of supervisors were aware the

10261
07:16:48,100 --> 07:16:50,100
approval of cypress point, moss beach

10262
07:16:50,100 --> 07:16:54,100
would use all the 40 per year building

10263
07:16:54,100 --> 07:16:55,100
permits per year.

10264
07:16:55,100 --> 07:16:57,100
during the approval process,

10265
07:16:57,100 --> 07:16:59,100
supervisor mueller requested that the

10266
07:16:59,100 --> 07:17:01,401
county be funding additional

10267
07:17:05,100 --> 07:17:07,100
infrastructure because the area in

10268
07:17:07,100 --> 07:17:11,100
moss beach really has none, so I'm

10269
07:17:11,100 --> 07:17:14,601
just concerned that this cypress point

10270
07:17:15,100 --> 07:17:16,100
has really caused a lot of problems

10271
07:17:16,100 --> 07:17:19,100
for the area and I think a lot of this

10272
07:17:19,100 --> 07:17:21,100
was probably preventable had the

10273
07:17:21,100 --> 07:17:25,201
approval not be given when it was.

10274
07:17:26,100 --> 07:17:28,100
however, right now, if you look at

10275
07:17:28,100 --> 07:17:29,100
safety, children walking to school and

10276
07:17:29,100 --> 07:17:32,100
pedestrians, the only way that they

10277
07:17:32,100 --> 07:17:34,100
can get to pharaoh mount view is to

10278
07:17:34,100 --> 07:17:39,100
walk on a dirt a path next to a ravine

10279
07:17:39,100 --> 07:17:40,100
and highway 1, that is not safe for

10280
07:17:40,100 --> 07:17:43,100
anybody, there are almost no

10281
07:17:43,100 --> 07:17:47,100
sidewalks in a lot of montera which is

10282
07:17:47,100 --> 07:17:50,100
their route to school and for this

10283
07:17:50,100 --> 07:17:53,100
reason and the fact there regaling --

10284
07:17:53,100 --> 07:17:56,100
there's not even a single traffic

10285
07:17:56,100 --> 07:17:59,100
light in town, I'm requesting again

10286
07:17:59,100 --> 07:18:02,100
that you pleat support housing for

10287
07:18:02,100 --> 07:18:04,100
seniors at this location where their

10288
07:18:04,100 --> 07:18:08,801
needs can be met in a centralized way

10289
07:18:10,100 --> 07:18:12,100
and it won't burden the surrounding

10290
07:18:12,100 --> 07:18:15,100
areas or put at risk the lives of

10291
07:18:15,100 --> 07:18:17,100
children or people when trying to get

10292
07:18:17,100 --> 07:18:19,100
to school.

10293
07:18:19,100 --> 07:18:21,100
two, if they try to cross highway 1 to

10294
07:18:21,100 --> 07:18:23,100
get to the bus stop and there's no safe

10295
07:18:23,100 --> 07:18:26,601
crossing and there's no funding with

10296
07:18:27,100 --> 07:18:28,100
the vehicle license fee now being

10297
07:18:28,100 --> 07:18:31,100
taken a away, there's going to be no

10298
07:18:31,100 --> 07:18:34,601
funding that the county can even

10299
07:18:35,100 --> 07:18:36,100
provide.

10300
07:18:36,100 --> 07:18:38,100
so, I'm just requesting again that you

10301
07:18:38,100 --> 07:18:39,100
consider designating this as senior

10302
07:18:39,100 --> 07:18:42,100
housing so that these other issues can

10303
07:18:42,100 --> 07:18:43,100
be addressed in the future.

10304
07:18:43,100 --> 07:18:45,100
thank you for your consideration.

10305
07:18:45,100 --> 07:18:46,100
>> thank you.

10306
07:18:46,100 --> 07:18:48,100
that concludes public comment.

10307
07:18:48,100 --> 07:18:50,100
>> thank you.

10308
07:18:50,100 --> 07:18:52,100
any comments from my colleagues?

10309
07:18:52,100 --> 07:18:54,100
>> move we close the public hearing.

10310
07:18:54,100 --> 07:18:56,100

>> yes.

10319
07:19:06,100 --> 07:19:08,100
>> motion passes to close the public

10320
07:19:08,100 --> 07:19:09,100
hearing.

10321
07:19:09,100 --> 07:19:12,100
>> is there a motion to adopt the item?

10322
07:19:12,100 --> 07:19:13,100
>> moved.

10323
07:19:13,100 --> 07:19:14,100
>> second.

10324
07:19:14,100 --> 07:19:17,100
>> we did extensive outreach, it's

10325
07:19:19,100 --> 07:19:21,100
conditionally supported under the

10326
07:19:21,100 --> 07:19:24,100
[inaudible] council, I think we're

10327
07:19:24,100 --> 07:19:25,100
in good shape.

10328
07:19:25,100 --> 07:19:26,100
>> thank you.

10329
07:19:26,100 --> 07:19:27,100

>> aye.

>> president corzo?

10338
07:19:35,100 --> 07:19:36,100
>> yes.

10339
07:19:36,100 --> 07:19:37,100
>> the motion passes.

10340
07:19:37,100 --> 07:19:40,100
>> we are moving on to our second

10341
07:19:40,100 --> 07:19:42,100
public hearing, take it away, mr. Monowitz?

10342
07:19:42,100 --> 07:19:45,100
>> thank you, item 13 is a five lot

10343
07:19:45,100 --> 07:19:48,100
subdivision on cordilleras way that

10344
07:19:48,100 --> 07:19:51,100
requires approval of a general plan

10345
07:19:51,100 --> 07:19:53,100
map amendment, major subdivision

10346
07:19:53,100 --> 07:19:56,100
grading permit, tree removal permit

10347
07:19:56,100 --> 07:19:58,401
and associated mitigated negative

10348
07:19:59,100 --> 07:20:00,100
declaration.

10349
07:20:00,100 --> 07:20:03,601
so, the main reason this item

10350
07:20:08,100 --> 07:20:11,601
is before the board, the major

10351
07:20:12,100 --> 07:20:14,401
subdivision grading permits, tree

10352
07:20:16,100 --> 07:20:19,100
removal permit and mitigated negative

10353
07:20:19,100 --> 07:20:21,100
declaration would normally go to

10354
07:20:21,100 --> 07:20:22,100
the planning commission, they

10355
07:20:22,100 --> 07:20:24,100
recommended your board approve it

10356
07:20:24,100 --> 07:20:27,601
along with the general plan amendment.

10357
07:20:28,100 --> 07:20:30,100
here's the location of the site in

10358
07:20:30,100 --> 07:20:33,100
emerald lake hills on the south side

10359
07:20:33,100 --> 07:20:34,100
of cordilleras road.

10360
07:20:34,100 --> 07:20:37,100
this shows the general plan

10361
07:20:39,100 --> 07:20:40,100
designations, the lighter yellow is

10362
07:20:40,100 --> 07:20:43,100
the currently low density and the

10363
07:20:43,100 --> 07:20:46,100
brighter yellow is currently low to

10364
07:20:46,100 --> 07:20:47,100
medium density and I wanted to show

10365
07:20:47,100 --> 07:20:50,100
this slide to show that the proposed

10366
07:20:50,100 --> 07:20:52,100
general plan amendment request is not

10367
07:20:52,100 --> 07:20:54,401
unusual for this neighborhood.

10368
07:20:55,100 --> 07:20:57,100
here' an aerial view of this site.

10369
07:20:57,100 --> 07:21:01,801
you can see it's bisected by the sfpuc

10370
07:21:03,100 --> 07:21:05,100
right-of-way, there are two separate

10371
07:21:05,100 --> 07:21:07,100
apn's but one legal parcel.

10372
07:21:07,100 --> 07:21:10,100
here's the view of the site on

10373
07:21:10,100 --> 07:21:13,100
cordilleras is the site in the

10374
07:21:13,100 --> 07:21:17,801
picture on the left, on the right with

10375
07:21:18,100 --> 07:21:21,100
the white fence, the picture on the

10376
07:21:21,100 --> 07:21:23,100
right, it's on the left side.

10377
07:21:23,100 --> 07:21:25,100
here again is a view of the site, on

10378
07:21:25,100 --> 07:21:28,100
the right with the white fence, the

10379
07:21:28,100 --> 07:21:31,100
existing driveway will be moved a

10380
07:21:31,100 --> 07:21:33,401
little bit further east.

10381
07:21:34,100 --> 07:21:38,801
here we have the site plan for the

10382
07:21:42,100 --> 07:21:43,100
subdivision.

10383
07:21:43,100 --> 07:21:44,100
it's five lots, they are all greater

10384
07:21:44,100 --> 07:21:46,100
than 12 thousand square feet.

10385
07:21:46,100 --> 07:21:47,100
the driveway, you can see in the

10386
07:21:47,100 --> 07:21:50,100
middle of the lot serves all five

10387
07:21:50,100 --> 07:21:52,100
lots, there will be two oak trees that

10388
07:21:52,100 --> 07:21:56,801
will be removed and will need to be

10389
07:21:57,100 --> 07:21:58,100
replaced.

10390
07:21:58,100 --> 07:22:00,100
the blue -- hatch blue at the bottom

10391
07:22:00,100 --> 07:22:03,100
of the screen is the detention basins

10392
07:22:03,100 --> 07:22:04,100
for the stormwater and what's

10393
07:22:04,100 --> 07:22:07,100
highlighted in yellow is a five lot

10394
07:22:07,100 --> 07:22:09,100
strip that is required by public works

10395
07:22:09,100 --> 07:22:12,100
to be dedicated towards cordilleras

10396
07:22:14,100 --> 07:22:17,100
road improvements or a future sidewalk.

10397
07:22:17,100 --> 07:22:18,100
the project complies with all relevant

10398
07:22:18,100 --> 07:22:20,100
plans and regulations.

10399
07:22:22,100 --> 07:22:25,100
and the department circulated a

10400
07:22:26,100 --> 07:22:27,100
negative declaration, we received

10401
07:22:27,100 --> 07:22:30,601
comments, some from the department of

10402
07:22:31,100 --> 07:22:33,100
toxic substances control who wanted to

10403
07:22:33,100 --> 07:22:35,100
make sure the soil was clean, we've

10404
07:22:35,100 --> 07:22:38,100
attached a condition of approval that

10405
07:22:38,100 --> 07:22:40,100
requires soil testing and then some

10406
07:22:40,100 --> 07:22:42,100
comments from neighbors who were

10407
07:22:42,100 --> 07:22:43,100
concerned about construction impacts,

10408
07:22:43,100 --> 07:22:45,100
those concerns are addressed by the

10409
07:22:45,100 --> 07:22:47,100
conditions of approval particularly

10410
07:22:47,100 --> 07:22:49,100
condition 7 through 17.

10411
07:22:52,100 --> 07:22:53,100
the planning commission considered

10412
07:22:53,100 --> 07:22:55,100
this and recommended approval with a

10413
07:22:55,100 --> 07:22:56,100
5-0 vote.

10414
07:22:56,100 --> 07:22:58,100
so we're recommending that the board

10415
07:22:58,100 --> 07:23:01,100
approve the general plan amendment,

10416
07:23:02,100 --> 07:23:04,401
subdivision grading permit and

10417
07:23:05,100 --> 07:23:06,100
protected tree removal permit,

10418
07:23:06,100 --> 07:23:08,401
adopting the required findings

10419
07:23:09,100 --> 07:23:11,401
certifying the negative declaration

10420
07:23:12,100 --> 07:23:14,100
and to amend the general plan use map.

10421
07:23:14,100 --> 07:23:16,100
that concludes my presentation, I'm

10422
07:23:16,100 --> 07:23:17,100

07:23:17,100 --> 07:23:19,100

welcome.

10501
07:25:40,100 --> 07:25:42,100

>> I'm sorry too.

07:25:43,100 --> 07:25:45,401
>> we're all sorry, right.

10504
07:25:50,100 --> 07:25:53,100
good evening, board members, --

10505
07:25:54,100 --> 07:25:57,100
>> director tory newman, you're up.

10506
07:25:58,100 --> 07:26:01,601
>> president corzo, I'm here today to

10507
07:26:04,100 --> 07:26:06,100
present on an introduction of an

10508
07:26:06,100 --> 07:26:08,100
ordinance to introduce a speed

10509
07:26:08,100 --> 07:26:10,100
limit at a school zone in a portion of

10510
07:26:10,100 --> 07:26:13,100
bay road, this is a stand alone item,

10511
07:26:13,100 --> 07:26:16,601
this is similar to previous actions

10512
07:26:17,100 --> 07:26:20,100
with redwood city and atherton.

10513
07:26:21,100 --> 07:26:24,601
because the campus spans redwood city

10514
07:26:27,100 --> 07:26:29,100
and unincorporated designations, this

10515
07:26:29,100 --> 07:26:31,100
will have encroachment

10516
07:26:31,100 --> 07:26:34,100
permits which will create a uniform

10517
07:26:34,100 --> 07:26:37,601
zone across city and county boundaries.

10518
07:26:39,100 --> 07:26:41,100
the area where this focuses on is bay

10519
07:26:41,100 --> 07:26:44,100
road between sixth and haven, shown

10520
07:26:44,100 --> 07:26:47,601
here in red, current speed limit

10521
07:26:49,100 --> 07:26:53,201
within the zone is 30 miles per hour.

10522
07:26:55,100 --> 07:26:57,100
and the proposed --

10523
07:26:57,100 --> 07:27:00,601
>> sorry, I need to reenable our

10524
07:27:03,100 --> 07:27:04,100
interpreter.

10525
07:27:04,100 --> 07:27:06,100
>> okay.

10526
07:27:27,100 --> 07:27:29,100
okay, go ahead.

10527
07:27:40,100 --> 07:27:42,401
>> okay, there we go.

10528
07:27:43,100 --> 07:27:44,100
the proposed speed limit in front of

10529
07:27:44,100 --> 07:27:47,100
the school will remain 30 miles per

10530
07:27:47,100 --> 07:27:49,100
hour, however during school zone,

10531
07:27:49,100 --> 07:27:51,100
we'll be presenting signs for 15 miles

10532
07:27:51,100 --> 07:27:54,601
per hour while children are present.

10533
07:27:57,100 --> 07:28:00,100
this clicker has gotten a workout

10534
07:28:00,100 --> 07:28:01,100
today.

10535
07:28:01,100 --> 07:28:03,401
are there any questions?

10536
07:28:05,100 --> 07:28:07,100
>> supervisor speier?

10537
07:28:08,100 --> 07:28:12,201
>> tory, I think I reacher tout --

10538
07:28:13,100 --> 07:28:17,100
reacher reached out to you, I want to

10539
07:28:17,100 --> 07:28:20,100
be as fast as we can in reducing the

10540
07:28:20,100 --> 07:28:21,100
speed limits.

10541
07:28:21,100 --> 07:28:23,100
we took action two years ago I believe

10542
07:28:23,100 --> 07:28:24,100
and we're now still in the process.

10543
07:28:24,100 --> 07:28:29,401
so, we have it looks like by spring of

10544
07:28:31,100 --> 07:28:33,100
27, we're going to have all of the

10545
07:28:33,100 --> 07:28:35,401
schools within the unincorporated

10546
07:28:36,100 --> 07:28:38,100
areas, have them evaluated and the

10547
07:28:38,100 --> 07:28:39,100
speeds reduced.

10548
07:28:39,100 --> 07:28:41,100
>> that is correct, we started the

10549
07:28:41,100 --> 07:28:44,100
school limit school zone study, we

10550
07:28:44,100 --> 07:28:45,100
needed the engineering and traffic

10551
07:28:45,100 --> 07:28:48,100
studies to complete the school speed

10552
07:28:48,100 --> 07:28:50,100
limit study, one had to precede the

10553
07:28:50,100 --> 07:28:53,100
other, that's what delayed the initial

10554
07:28:53,100 --> 07:28:56,100
9-12 month period for the initial

10555
07:28:56,100 --> 07:28:57,100
school traffic study.

10556
07:28:57,100 --> 07:28:59,100
>> you're going to back with us

10557
07:28:59,100 --> 07:29:01,100
with this completed within the next

10558
07:29:01,100 --> 07:29:02,100
six months?

10559
07:29:02,100 --> 07:29:04,100
>> that is correct, yes.

10560
07:29:04,100 --> 07:29:05,100
>> thank you.

10561
07:29:05,100 --> 07:29:06,100

>> correct, thank you.

10592
07:29:58,100 --> 07:29:59,100
good evening, president corzo,

10593
07:29:59,100 --> 07:30:01,100
honorable members the board, mr.

10594
07:30:01,100 --> 07:30:02,100
callagy, mr. Anybody lynne.

10595
07:30:02,100 --> 07:30:05,100
due to the hour, I will be very brief.

10596
07:30:05,100 --> 07:30:07,100
I'm endeavoring to be faster than

10597
07:30:07,100 --> 07:30:10,100
everybody else, there are two salient

10598
07:30:10,100 --> 07:30:13,100
points I want to draw for you, you've seen

10599
07:30:13,100 --> 07:30:15,100
this before five other times, mr.

10600
07:30:15,100 --> 07:30:19,100
callagy, and I thought we wanted to

10601
07:30:19,100 --> 07:30:21,100
come before you and give you an

10602
07:30:21,100 --> 07:30:22,100
overview of where we are.

10603
07:30:22,100 --> 07:30:25,100
with the original five items, we

10604
07:30:25,100 --> 07:30:27,100
approved 85 million dollars of

10605
07:30:27,100 --> 07:30:29,100
licensing fund for the county.

10606
07:30:29,100 --> 07:30:33,801
it helps us move, this item takes us

10607
07:30:35,100 --> 07:30:36,100
to 93.5 million.

10608
07:30:36,100 --> 07:30:38,100
this is a good thing you all get to

10609
07:30:38,100 --> 07:30:39,100
see this now.

10610
07:30:39,100 --> 07:30:42,100
so, the whole point of having this

10611
07:30:42,100 --> 07:30:45,100
awareness for you is so you can

10612
07:30:45,100 --> 07:30:46,100
exercise your oversight.

10613
07:30:46,100 --> 07:30:48,100
the second point I wanted to dau you

10614
07:30:48,100 --> 07:30:52,100
to is the -- there is recently a

10615
07:30:52,100 --> 07:30:55,100
passage of sb122 which is the digital

10616
07:30:55,100 --> 07:30:58,100
product tax, that adds a tax to --

10617
07:30:58,100 --> 07:31:01,100
sales tax to all the software we will

10618
07:31:01,100 --> 07:31:03,100
purchase which used to not be taxed so

10619
07:31:03,100 --> 07:31:05,100
that will -- based on the current

10620
07:31:05,100 --> 07:31:07,100
budget of the county, that will bring

10621
07:31:07,100 --> 07:31:08,100
another 5 million dollars in taxes to

10622
07:31:08,100 --> 07:31:10,100
to our departments.

10623
07:31:10,100 --> 07:31:12,100
of course we'll get some of that back

10624
07:31:12,100 --> 07:31:15,601
because that's how taxes work, but

10625
07:31:16,100 --> 07:31:18,100
ultimately we will see about 2 million

10626
07:31:18,100 --> 07:31:20,100
dollars that will pay more than we

10627
07:31:20,100 --> 07:31:23,100
ever had to before for all of our

10628
07:31:23,100 --> 07:31:25,100
software, that's something we need to

10629
07:31:25,100 --> 07:31:26,100
be careful about.

10630
07:31:26,100 --> 07:31:29,100
my teams are astute on negotiating for

10631
07:31:29,100 --> 07:31:31,100
the best prices, that's what we do and

10632
07:31:31,100 --> 07:31:34,100
we have the help and support of the

10633
07:31:34,100 --> 07:31:36,100
county executive's office, the county

10634
07:31:36,100 --> 07:31:38,100
procurement department as well as the

10635
07:31:38,100 --> 07:31:40,100
controller's office and I really want

10636
07:31:40,100 --> 07:31:42,100
to thank my team internally, they do a

10637
07:31:42,100 --> 07:31:43,100
heck of a job.

10638
07:31:43,100 --> 07:31:45,100
with that, I'm happy to take questions.

10639
07:31:45,100 --> 07:31:47,100
>> thank you, any questions?

10640
07:31:47,100 --> 07:31:49,100
>> motion to adopt the resolution.

10641
07:31:49,100 --> 07:31:50,100
>> thank you, is there a second?

10642
07:31:50,100 --> 07:31:51,100
>> second.

10643
07:31:51,100 --> 07:31:52,100
>> okay, before we go to public

10644
07:31:52,100 --> 07:31:54,100

>> thank you, john.

10735
07:34:54,100 --> 07:34:58,201
moving on to item number 18, and that

10736
07:35:04,100 --> 07:35:07,100
is a resolution with the san francisco

10737
07:35:07,100 --> 07:35:09,100
public health foundation for the pride

10738
07:35:09,100 --> 07:35:10,100
center.

10739
07:35:10,100 --> 07:35:12,100
>> thank you, madam chair, members of

10740
07:35:12,100 --> 07:35:14,100
the board, I know it's been a long

10741
07:35:14,100 --> 07:35:18,201
day, I'll go quickly on this, really

10742
07:35:19,100 --> 07:35:21,100
no fault of its own, the pride center

10743
07:35:21,100 --> 07:35:24,100
of san mateo county finds itself in

10744
07:35:24,100 --> 07:35:27,100
dire straits financially and may be

10745
07:35:27,100 --> 07:35:29,100
going out of business the end of this

10746
07:35:29,100 --> 07:35:32,601
month, lost their home when samaritan

10747
07:35:33,100 --> 07:35:34,100
house went under --

10748
07:35:34,100 --> 07:35:36,100
>> not samaritan house.

10749
07:35:38,100 --> 07:35:40,401
>> I'm sorry, star vista.

10750
07:35:42,100 --> 07:35:45,100
>> samaritan house is in great shape,

10751
07:35:45,100 --> 07:35:48,100
when star vista went under and they lost

10752
07:35:48,100 --> 07:35:51,100
their ability to bill because they

10753
07:35:51,100 --> 07:35:53,100
didn't have a home for clinicians to

10754
07:35:53,100 --> 07:35:54,100
charge people from which is required.

10755
07:35:54,100 --> 07:35:57,100
they also had their funding from

10756
07:35:57,100 --> 07:36:00,100
bhrs reduced from 800 thousand down to

10757
07:36:00,100 --> 07:36:02,100
100 thousand.

10758
07:36:02,100 --> 07:36:05,100
so, with this grant of 350 thousand

10759
07:36:05,100 --> 07:36:09,100
dollars, it's our hope that it will

10760
07:36:09,100 --> 07:36:13,201
start to rebuild, they're going to get

10761
07:36:14,100 --> 07:36:16,100
their 50 c-3 status, build a board,

10762
07:36:16,100 --> 07:36:17,100
start billing as we try to get them

10763
07:36:17,100 --> 07:36:21,201
into one of the locations on mahler

10764
07:36:22,100 --> 07:36:24,100
and burbling fwaim so they have a home

10765
07:36:24,100 --> 07:36:27,100
and then start the board fundraising

10766
07:36:27,100 --> 07:36:28,100
to become self-sufficient, so this is

10767
07:36:28,100 --> 07:36:32,100
-- what we see is a temporary measure

10768
07:36:32,100 --> 07:36:36,201
to keep them alive and operational in

10769
07:36:37,100 --> 07:36:40,100
the county while they rebuild.

10770
07:36:40,100 --> 07:36:44,100
happy to answer any questions you may

10771
07:36:44,100 --> 07:36:46,100
have.

10772
07:36:47,100 --> 07:36:49,100
>> thank you.

10773
07:36:50,100 --> 07:36:54,100
I don't think we have any questions.

10774
07:36:54,100 --> 07:36:58,201

do not have speaker cards in chambers.

07:37:39,100 --> 07:37:40,100
we will be going online, this is going

10791
07:37:40,100 --> 07:37:43,100
to be a final call.

10792
07:37:43,100 --> 07:37:46,100
right now I have four hands raised,

10793
07:37:46,100 --> 07:37:48,100
we'll start with tatum, please

10794
07:37:48,100 --> 07:37:50,100
unmute and begin.

10795
07:37:52,100 --> 07:37:55,601
>> sorry, my speech isn't too good,

10796
07:37:56,100 --> 07:37:58,100
I'm a resident of san mateo county

10797
07:37:58,100 --> 07:38:01,601
speaking in support of this item.

10798
07:38:03,100 --> 07:38:05,100
I'm a resident and member of the

10799
07:38:05,100 --> 07:38:06,100
community, I appreciate your efforts

10800
07:38:06,100 --> 07:38:09,100
as well as the county executive as

10801
07:38:09,100 --> 07:38:13,201
well as frankie and the commission to

10802
07:38:14,100 --> 07:38:17,100
support the lgbtqia+ community here.

10803
07:38:18,100 --> 07:38:22,100
it needs -- means as lot by their

10804
07:38:22,100 --> 07:38:23,100
actions especially trying to find

10805
07:38:23,100 --> 07:38:25,100
space and I want to point out that per

10806
07:38:25,100 --> 07:38:29,201
the san mateo county health office and

10807
07:38:31,100 --> 07:38:33,100
epidemiology evaluation and wellness,

10808
07:38:33,100 --> 07:38:37,100
they had completed a survey in 2022 or

10809
07:38:37,100 --> 07:38:41,100
23, I know it is dated but there are

10810
07:38:41,100 --> 07:38:45,201
needs by the community in some of

10811
07:38:46,100 --> 07:38:48,100
these statistics that are pretty

10812
07:38:48,100 --> 07:38:52,201
alarming, it is the community that had

10813
07:38:55,100 --> 07:38:57,100
reported the highest mental or

10814
07:38:57,100 --> 07:38:59,401
emotional problems, highest reported

10815
07:39:00,100 --> 07:39:02,100
that they experienced symptoms of

10816
07:39:02,100 --> 07:39:05,601
depression lasting two plus years and

10817
07:39:06,100 --> 07:39:07,100
thoughts taking one's own life.

10818
07:39:07,100 --> 07:39:09,100
if

10819
07:39:09,100 --> 07:39:14,401
-- in the past year, and the youth had

10820
07:39:17,100 --> 07:39:20,100
suicide ideation as compared to

10821
07:39:21,100 --> 07:39:22,100
non-lgbtqia+ in our community.

10822
07:39:22,100 --> 07:39:25,100
they also had the highest substance

10823
07:39:25,100 --> 07:39:28,100
abuse compared to non-lgbtqi+, so

10824
07:39:31,100 --> 07:39:32,100
obviously these statistics underlie

10825
07:39:32,100 --> 07:39:34,100
the importance of this measure, I

10826
07:39:34,100 --> 07:39:37,100
appreciate again you as a board coming

10827
07:39:37,100 --> 07:39:39,100
together to support the team, they've

10828
07:39:39,100 --> 07:39:42,100
done a lot of great work especially

10829
07:39:42,100 --> 07:39:43,100
as the county executive mentioned, they

10830
07:39:43,100 --> 07:39:46,100
haven't had space and I really

10831
07:39:46,100 --> 07:39:48,100
appreciate the county making this a

10832
07:39:48,100 --> 07:39:50,100
priority to give them a space, thank

10833
07:39:50,100 --> 07:39:53,100
you for your verses and thank you for

10834
07:39:53,100 --> 07:39:56,100

10838
07:40:08,100 --> 07:40:09,100
can you please unmute.

10839
07:40:09,100 --> 07:40:10,100
>> can you all hear me?

10840
07:40:10,100 --> 07:40:12,100
>> yes.

10841
07:40:12,100 --> 07:40:14,100
>> good evening,

10842
07:40:21,100 --> 07:40:23,100
I'm vanessa, thank you for supporting

10843
07:40:23,100 --> 07:40:26,100
the pride center, it has always been

10844
07:40:26,100 --> 07:40:28,100
something than just a physical space,

10845
07:40:28,100 --> 07:40:32,201
it provides a space where lbgtq people

10846
07:40:33,100 --> 07:40:35,100
can find community, resorts, support

10847
07:40:35,100 --> 07:40:37,401
and a ascensive belonging.

10848
07:40:38,100 --> 07:40:42,100
in the county's own health data show

10849
07:40:42,100 --> 07:40:45,100
that is lgbtq residents are

10850
07:40:46,100 --> 07:40:49,100
experiencing high rates of depression

10851
07:40:49,100 --> 07:40:52,100
and suicidal ideation and that makes

10852
07:40:52,100 --> 07:40:54,100
competent spaces in own community

10853
07:40:54,100 --> 07:40:55,100
incredibly important.

10854
07:40:55,100 --> 07:40:57,401
this funding will help

10855
07:41:00,100 --> 07:41:02,100
provide them a sustainable location

10856
07:41:02,100 --> 07:41:04,100
for the future, please support item 18

10857
07:41:04,100 --> 07:41:07,100
and continue investing in the lgbtq

10858
07:41:07,100 --> 07:41:08,100
community here in san mateo county,

10863
07:41:20,100 --> 07:41:24,201
I'm the director with the san mateo

10864
07:41:25,100 --> 07:41:26,100
county pride center and I wanted to

10865
07:41:26,100 --> 07:41:29,100
thank the county of san mateo for your

10866
07:41:29,100 --> 07:41:30,100
considering providing the funding

10867
07:41:30,100 --> 07:41:33,100
for the pride center, so we can

10868
07:41:33,100 --> 07:41:35,401
continue supporting thousands of

10869
07:41:36,100 --> 07:41:38,100
lgbtq+ individuals every year with our

10870
07:41:38,100 --> 07:41:40,401
clinical services, peer support

10871
07:41:41,100 --> 07:41:43,100

events and connecting people to

10873
07:41:45,100 --> 07:41:47,100
essential resources.

10874
07:41:47,100 --> 07:41:49,100
especially thanking you for continuing

07:41:49,100 --> 07:41:52,100

day.

10877
07:41:54,100 --> 07:41:57,100
we have experience and influx of

10878
07:41:57,100 --> 07:41:59,100
requests of housing and food support

10879
07:41:59,100 --> 07:42:01,100
and there has been a significant

10880
07:42:01,100 --> 07:42:04,100
increase in bully, hate crimes,

10881
07:42:06,100 --> 07:42:07,100
isolation and suicidal ideation

10882
07:42:07,100 --> 07:42:08,100
amongst our community.

10883
07:42:08,100 --> 07:42:10,100
this funding will allow us to keep our

10884
07:42:10,100 --> 07:42:13,601

07:42:14,100 --> 07:42:17,601

desperately relies on our services.

10888
07:42:21,100 --> 07:42:22,100
we greatly appreciate the county's

10889
07:42:22,100 --> 07:42:26,100

10890
07:42:26,100 --> 07:42:28,100

10901
07:42:51,100 --> 07:42:53,100
I just would like to thank the board

10902
07:42:53,100 --> 07:42:55,100
and the county for your significant

10903
07:42:55,100 --> 07:42:59,201
support of our center and for the

10904
07:43:00,100 --> 07:43:01,100
lgbtq plus community.

10905
07:43:01,100 --> 07:43:03,100
this grant you're providing to the

10906
07:43:03,100 --> 07:43:05,100
pride center is crucial to helping us

10907
07:43:05,100 --> 07:43:07,100
stabilize and get back on our feet.

10908
07:43:07,100 --> 07:43:11,801
they will also give us a chance to

10909
07:43:12,100 --> 07:43:15,601
reprint our roots and secure our

10910
07:43:17,100 --> 07:43:18,100
home.

10911
07:43:18,100 --> 07:43:19,100
this will mep increase access to

10912
07:43:19,100 --> 07:43:23,100
services for so many in our community.

10913
07:43:23,100 --> 07:43:25,100
to many, the programs and support

10914
07:43:25,100 --> 07:43:27,100
provided by the pride center are

10915
07:43:27,100 --> 07:43:29,100
necessary and lifesaving.

10916
07:43:29,100 --> 07:43:30,100
as other speakers have already shared,

10917
07:43:30,100 --> 07:43:34,201
we know that lgbtq+ adults if san

10918
07:43:35,100 --> 07:43:38,100
mateo county face higher economic and

10919
07:43:38,100 --> 07:43:39,100
housing instability, worse access to

10920
07:43:39,100 --> 07:43:42,100
care and higher rates anxiety,

10921
07:43:42,100 --> 07:43:43,100
depression and suicide.

10922
07:43:43,100 --> 07:43:45,100
the pride center exists to address

10923
07:43:45,100 --> 07:43:49,201
these needs of the most vulnerable and

10924
07:43:51,100 --> 07:43:52,100
marginalized among us.

10925
07:43:52,100 --> 07:43:53,100
so, thank you for helping to ensure

10926
07:43:53,100 --> 07:43:55,100
that our county remains a high,

10927
07:43:55,100 --> 07:43:56,100

10928
07:43:56,100 --> 07:43:57,100

07:44:32,100 --> 07:44:35,601
district attorney wagstaff is here to

07:44:37,100 --> 07:44:39,100
present item number 29.

10959
07:44:40,100 --> 07:44:43,100
>> madam president, I moved there from

10960
07:44:43,100 --> 07:44:47,100
consent to the regular agenda and I'm

10961
07:44:47,100 --> 07:44:49,100
offering my apologies to the district

10962
07:44:49,100 --> 07:44:53,100
attorney for having done that, but I

10963
07:44:53,100 --> 07:44:56,100
think it's an important issue and I

10964
07:44:56,100 --> 07:44:59,601
was concerned that the $6 fee doesn't

10965
07:45:00,100 --> 07:45:02,100
cover it and you're underwriting 200

10966
07:45:02,100 --> 07:45:04,100
to 300 thousand dollars a year, I

10967
07:45:04,100 --> 07:45:05,100
think this issue is growing and I

10968
07:45:05,100 --> 07:45:07,100
would like to see us increase the

10969
07:45:07,100 --> 07:45:10,100
fee, so tell us what you're doing.

10970
07:45:10,100 --> 07:45:12,100
>> I will, first of all, no apology

10971
07:45:12,100 --> 07:45:13,100
called for this, it may have

10972
07:45:13,100 --> 07:45:15,100
been one of the productive days

10973
07:45:15,100 --> 07:45:17,100
sitting out in the audience, phone

10974
07:45:17,100 --> 07:45:20,100
never rang, nobody came in and set up

10975
07:45:20,100 --> 07:45:21,100
a meeting so I feel very productive,

10976
07:45:21,100 --> 07:45:24,601
we should do this more often.

10977
07:45:25,100 --> 07:45:28,100
but president corzo and members the

10978
07:45:28,100 --> 07:45:31,601
board, mr. Callagy mr, nibbelin, thank

10979
07:45:33,100 --> 07:45:34,100
you.

10980
07:45:34,100 --> 07:45:36,100
what I really want to do today is tell

10981
07:45:36,100 --> 07:45:38,100
you what we are doing with brevity, to

10982
07:45:38,100 --> 07:45:40,100
that extent, I really do want to turn

10983
07:45:40,100 --> 07:45:44,100
it over and introduce to you mary

10984
07:45:44,100 --> 07:45:47,100

attorney's office, she's an

10987
07:45:50,100 --> 07:45:52,100
outstanding prosecutor who has taken

10988
07:45:52,100 --> 07:45:54,100
this assignment on in the course of

10989
07:45:54,100 --> 07:45:55,100
the last year plus.

10990
07:45:55,100 --> 07:45:57,100
she is the one who prepared the report

10991
07:45:57,100 --> 07:45:59,100
that you have before you and can

10992
07:45:59,100 --> 07:46:00,100
address that point.

10993
07:46:00,100 --> 07:46:02,100
I will say that she is the one who has

10994
07:46:02,100 --> 07:46:05,601
been in discussions with our clerk

10995
07:46:06,100 --> 07:46:07,100
assessor about whether or not there

10996
07:46:07,100 --> 07:46:11,100
should be an increase for -- to meet

10997
07:46:11,100 --> 07:46:13,100
their needs, on that line, at this

10998
07:46:13,100 --> 07:46:16,100
point, may I turn it over with your

07:46:20,100 --> 07:46:22,401
>> thank you very much.

11002
07:46:23,100 --> 07:46:25,100
good evening, everyone.

11003
07:46:25,100 --> 07:46:27,100
my name is mary louise christianson,

11004
07:46:27,100 --> 07:46:29,100
I'm a deputy district attorney with

11005
07:46:29,100 --> 07:46:31,100
the da's office.

11006
07:46:31,100 --> 07:46:34,100
I am currently working in the real

11007
07:46:34,100 --> 07:46:36,100
estate fraud unit, I'm the sole

11008
07:46:36,100 --> 07:46:38,100
prosecutor in that unit, that unit

11009
07:46:38,100 --> 07:46:41,100
consists of myself and our

11010
07:46:43,100 --> 07:46:45,100
investigator, john column.

11011
07:46:45,100 --> 07:46:48,601
I also prosecute insurance fraud and

11012
07:46:49,100 --> 07:46:50,100
contracting cases, contractors would

11013
07:46:50,100 --> 07:46:52,401
contract without proper licensing.

11014
07:46:54,100 --> 07:46:56,100
the real estate fraud unit has been

11015
07:46:56,100 --> 07:46:58,100
busy this year, we currently have

11016
07:46:58,100 --> 07:47:00,100
three cases in court.

11017
07:47:00,100 --> 07:47:02,100
we just recently obtained a conviction

11018
07:47:02,100 --> 07:47:05,100
for our case that we had which

11019
07:47:05,100 --> 07:47:08,100
included five felony convictions, for

11020
07:47:08,100 --> 07:47:11,601
someone who was filing or proportion

11021
07:47:12,100 --> 07:47:14,100
to inherit a home from somebody who he

11022
07:47:14,100 --> 07:47:17,601
did not know, he consequently filed

11023
07:47:18,100 --> 07:47:21,100
false documents with the coroner's

11024
07:47:21,100 --> 07:47:23,100
office and tried to sell this home in daly

11025
07:47:23,100 --> 07:47:25,100
city two times to two different real

11026
07:47:25,100 --> 07:47:27,100
estate companies, but ultimately he

11027
07:47:27,100 --> 07:47:30,100
was not successful in those efforts

11028
07:47:30,100 --> 07:47:32,100
but we were able to prosecute him and

11029
07:47:32,100 --> 07:47:36,201
he is set for sentencing next month,

11030
07:47:38,100 --> 07:47:41,100
and then also we've launched this year

11031
07:47:41,100 --> 07:47:42,100
the real estate fraud notification

11032
07:47:42,100 --> 07:47:46,100
program which is a program that we had

11033
07:47:46,100 --> 07:47:49,100
been working on and that we came -- my

11034
07:47:49,100 --> 07:47:51,100
colleague came in front of the board I

11035
07:47:51,100 --> 07:47:53,100
think over a year ago now asking for

11036
07:47:53,100 --> 07:47:57,100
an increase in that recording fee to

11037
07:47:57,100 --> 07:47:59,100
$6 so we could implement that program.

11038
07:47:59,100 --> 07:48:02,100
so, that program has now been

11039
07:48:02,100 --> 07:48:03,100
implemented and whenever a deed is

11040
07:48:03,100 --> 07:48:06,601
recorded in san mateo county, the

11041
07:48:07,100 --> 07:48:09,100
homeowner is alerted of that recording

11042
07:48:09,100 --> 07:48:12,100
with a letter, a notification, a

11043
07:48:12,100 --> 07:48:15,100
courtesy letter they are sent to make

11044
07:48:15,100 --> 07:48:17,100
them aware of that recording and on

11045
07:48:17,100 --> 07:48:19,100
that letter, we do the tell them if

11046
07:48:19,100 --> 07:48:21,100
you're aware of this recording, great,

11047
07:48:21,100 --> 07:48:23,100
no further action needs to be done,

11048
07:48:23,100 --> 07:48:25,100
but the you're not aware of this

11049
07:48:25,100 --> 07:48:27,100
recording, please contact the da's

11050
07:48:27,100 --> 07:48:29,100
office because there could be possible

11051
07:48:29,100 --> 07:48:31,100
fraud happening.

11052
07:48:31,100 --> 07:48:35,100
so, that program launched in april, we

11053
07:48:35,100 --> 07:48:38,100
have consequently sent out I think

11054
07:48:38,100 --> 07:48:41,601
almost I think 20 thousand letters so

11055
07:48:42,100 --> 07:48:45,100
far and we've had -- we haven't had

11056
07:48:45,100 --> 07:48:47,100
any cases so far but we've had a

11057
07:48:47,100 --> 07:48:48,100
couple of investigations that have

11058
07:48:48,100 --> 07:48:52,100
been started as a result of that.

11059
07:48:52,100 --> 07:48:54,100
I'm happy to answer any other

11060
07:48:54,100 --> 07:48:56,100
questions the board may have?

11061
07:48:56,100 --> 07:48:57,100
>> any other questions?

11062
07:48:57,100 --> 07:49:00,100
>> on the 20 thousand letters, you

11063
07:49:02,100 --> 07:49:04,100
know, jeffrey who's an assessor in los

11064
07:49:04,100 --> 07:49:06,100
angeles county, they do what's an

11065
07:49:06,100 --> 07:49:07,100
e-mail notification because there's

11066
07:49:07,100 --> 07:49:08,100
fraud that takes place.

11067
07:49:08,100 --> 07:49:12,100
I don't know if there's enabling state

11068
07:49:12,100 --> 07:49:13,100
legislation, but when you say letters,

11069
07:49:13,100 --> 07:49:16,100
you're talking about e-mails, correct?

11070
07:49:16,100 --> 07:49:17,100
>> they're physical letters that are

11071
07:49:17,100 --> 07:49:19,100
mailed in the mail, the u.s. Postage.

11072
07:49:19,100 --> 07:49:20,100
>> okay, great.

11073
07:49:20,100 --> 07:49:23,100
we should probably -- I support this,

11074
07:49:23,100 --> 07:49:25,100
we should probably talk online just

11075
07:49:25,100 --> 07:49:28,100
because the issue with the letter

11076
07:49:28,100 --> 07:49:32,100
sometimes is by the time they get it,

11077
07:49:32,100 --> 07:49:34,100
right, there may be some issues

11078
07:49:34,100 --> 07:49:37,601
and maybe leveraging e-mail or other

11079
07:49:38,100 --> 07:49:40,100
technologies could get to them faster.

11080
07:49:40,100 --> 07:49:42,100
>> supervisor speier?

11081
07:49:43,100 --> 07:49:47,100
>> so, why don't we raise the fee so

11082
07:49:47,100 --> 07:49:49,100
that we're not subsidizing this?

11083
07:49:49,100 --> 07:49:50,100
it's a great service to the public.

11084
07:49:50,100 --> 07:49:55,401
>> so, yes, I do also want to say that

11085
07:50:02,100 --> 07:50:03,100
the jjdpc could not start their

11086
07:50:03,100 --> 07:50:05,100
meeting until we finish this zoom and

11087
07:50:05,100 --> 07:50:08,100
I want us to have a thoughtful

11088
07:50:08,100 --> 07:50:10,100
conversation, so yes, please answer

11089
07:50:10,100 --> 07:50:11,100
and --

11090
07:50:11,100 --> 07:50:14,100
>> there's a couple of questions that

11091
07:50:14,100 --> 07:50:16,100
you have opposed, supervisor, in

11092
07:50:16,100 --> 07:50:18,100
terms, number one, in terms of raising

11093
07:50:18,100 --> 07:50:20,100
the fee, we're talking, we've had two

11094
07:50:20,100 --> 07:50:22,100
meetings with the county attorney's

11095
07:50:22,100 --> 07:50:26,801
office and with mr. Azari of the clerk

11096
07:50:27,100 --> 07:50:29,100
assessor's office and of course to

11097
07:50:29,100 --> 07:50:30,100
continue those conversations next year

11098
07:50:30,100 --> 07:50:32,100
about that very point.

11099
07:50:32,100 --> 07:50:35,100
they are preparing to bring back to us

11100
07:50:35,100 --> 07:50:37,100
a memo explaining what exactly are

11101
07:50:37,100 --> 07:50:39,100
their costs, so then we can intel

11102
07:50:39,100 --> 07:50:41,100
generally -- because our option

11103
07:50:41,100 --> 07:50:43,100
available is we can request of the

11104
07:50:43,100 --> 07:50:47,100
board to the increase to be one of 7,

11105
07:50:47,100 --> 07:50:49,100
8, 9 or 10.

11106
07:50:49,100 --> 07:50:52,100
the fee that I have stated and the

11107
07:50:52,100 --> 07:50:54,100
one I've always had, I don't want to

11108
07:50:54,100 --> 07:50:55,100
ask for an increase except for what

11109
07:50:55,100 --> 07:50:56,100
our costs are.

11110
07:50:56,100 --> 07:50:58,100
>> I don't want to impose on the

11111
07:50:58,100 --> 07:51:00,100
taxpayers money that we could use for

11112
07:51:00,100 --> 07:51:02,100
other purposes in these difficult

11113
07:51:02,100 --> 07:51:05,100
times, so it's a conversation that's

11114
07:51:05,100 --> 07:51:06,100
ongoing.

11115
07:51:06,100 --> 07:51:07,100
I suspect we will be coming back to

11116
07:51:07,100 --> 07:51:09,100
you to ask for that, but we want to

11117
07:51:09,100 --> 07:51:12,100
do it when we have data.

11118
07:51:12,100 --> 07:51:13,100
everything's data driven and we will

11119
07:51:13,100 --> 07:51:14,100
do so.

11120
07:51:14,100 --> 07:51:15,100
>> I move adoption.

11121
07:51:15,100 --> 07:51:17,100
>> thank you, public comment?

11122
07:51:17,100 --> 07:51:19,100
>> alright, public comment on item 29,

11123
07:51:19,100 --> 07:51:21,100

comment online, raise your hand at

11125
07:51:22,100 --> 07:51:23,100
this time.

11126
07:51:23,100 --> 07:51:24,100
we have no speaker cards from

11127
07:51:24,100 --> 07:51:25,100
chambers.

11128
07:51:25,100 --> 07:51:26,100
no public comment.

11129
07:51:26,100 --> 07:51:27,100

>> yes.

11134
07:51:32,100 --> 07:51:33,100
>> supervisor gauthier is absent.

07:51:33,100 --> 07:51:34,100
