[0:03] You are what. Are.
[0:12] Your. Orders. Would you please join me in the
[0:19] play I play to leave you. With.
[0:29] Individual liberty and.
[0:46] There's. No action.
[1:01] Richard off. The field here.
[1:13] For you were you. Know.
[1:31] I'm here to kind of review why something that Scott Frazier has mentioned
[1:35] a couple of times about having you include the powerpoint you
[1:42] present your in these meetings in the minutes because you've obviously done
[1:46] a lot of work to put from Together heard
[1:50] a lot of good information in the can we here is the public have
[1:54] a hard time being at all while we're trying to listen to you at the same time and.
[2:00] They don't appear in the minutes and it would just be useful information I realize
[2:05] you're not required by law to do it but we'd really appreciate it.
[2:15] With me and hello well. I don't know if this is in phenomena genda item for an
[2:20] agenda item because it's partly about dredging simply about the budget so where
[2:25] would you like to.
[2:32] Be with someone to go. For it if you do so if the actions today and the
[2:39] Institute for fisheries resources coast wide marshal fish and rivers. Many of your
[2:46] fine if you really. Are waiting.
[2:55] For. The day. Because someone at the bar who are. Present is on the science of
[3:03] team to the ocean Protection Council. Said they have
[3:08] a desperate need for his words for salty dredge foils to be stewards whole marshes
[3:16] because they expected they are going to lose 100 percent of the salt marshes where
[3:21] the Pickaway grows. To the sea level rise the pickle we need it is
[3:27] a major ecological. Market.
[3:34] For people. And. Their ability to lose all of it anywhere you want if
[3:41] there is
[3:41] a cost involved in the. Project and permitting but perhaps
[3:48] the ocean Protection Council for the customer Conservancy would be interested in
[3:54] that. And I hope you will keep your meetings I hope. And it was
[4:01] important it is. Really required to. Special meetings so that the public can
[4:08] come share their ideas with you. We need all the help we can get to accomplish the
[4:14] things that we need to do in the harbor and. People. Get tired sometimes
[4:21] being criticized but if you have held.
[4:36] Your. First I want to marry and marry for you yesterday just got.
[4:45] Acquisition issues. Very interesting and very and I had
[4:49] a very helpful for me to understand some of these things. So I've got.
[4:57] To hand out here for you guys. Are you
[5:05] sure if you got there was some kind of
[5:06] a last minute deal. So basically. You know this is
[5:12] a deal that you got it or you go.
[5:20] Home. And I think. You know we're just really isn't designed.
[5:27] To take.
[5:36] You know all that really have. The next
[5:43] 6 or 8. Days if that.
[5:56] Is if a stand there's an inventory I don't think there's
[5:59] a name. From what I gathered yesterday there's not really an inventory to extend
[6:04] that and supposedly part of the deal is that for X.
[6:07] Amount of time before
[6:09] a closing of escrow or that these people would be displaced the whole issue of
[6:15] where they go is an issue I don't know if you guys who really understand there are
[6:20] willing to take because they will be back I mean. For decades you know so. There
[6:27] could be some significant issues even if you're only on title for
[6:31] a day or an hour still going to have liabilities that. May not be clear.
[6:40] I know friends of the dunes and MC has been brought up as far as partnering with
[6:46] the whole thing manage. But I got
[6:50] a good story in just discussions yesterday indicated they're not interested in that
[6:55] So I think those guys are off the table so basically it's going to be on the harbor
[7:00] district. To manage. The. You know the kinetic sculpture
[7:06] race. Big popular event. Pours over right through some of the most primal flower
[7:13] habitat on the planet and. Did so far but I think that could
[7:20] change him
[7:21] a need for that and that's also going to be on you guys this place. So instead what
[7:28] I think would be
[7:29] a better approach for you guys is to just take the. Base side.
[7:37] That would be much more closely in with your. Operations are now.
[7:45] Really you could do some Thailand projects names such as Vivian was talking about.
[7:51] And I just think that it would be
[7:53] a better fit for less controversy and we just have this whole idea of firing stunt
[7:59] . For an hour a day
[8:01] a year 10 years whatever that number ends up being now I can get
[8:05] a little bit dicey but if you just talk to Conservancy and say look it would be
[8:10] interested in these parcels but we're not in position to handle the controversies
[8:15] and the issues around. The properties so
[8:22] I think that's kind of. All I got to say these I'll be. Leaving the
[8:29] other person is in private hands he wouldn't keep it on the to actual you know we
[8:34] as
[8:34] a county keep losing more and more and more property off the tax rolls which compromises
[8:40] our ability to collect taxes and I think that's kind of important and then
[8:47] the guy campground could conceivably go in where that house is right there. Is
[8:52] already water and there are an appropriate size could be put in there. But the
[8:59] other important thing is that I don't really see having been considered is the.
[9:05] Area is prime within mitigation areas and if this transfer were to go through that
[9:09] . We're going to need some mitigation areas you know whether it's sea level rise or
[9:16] other building projects throughout the county that's probably far more valuable for
[9:21] that. And just transferring at our tax rolls and as medication.
[9:29] Thank you very much
[9:31] a. Little bit on what you're
[9:37] arguing. Counselor here I'm sure you're familiar with what your mandate is
[9:45] and I have seen nothing that basically can make acquisitions.
[9:53] Throughout the county nor anything that's not within your jurisdiction of your
[9:57] title and. The Paul know site. And. You know one hand that was probably
[10:03] a little in the gray area where you know it was definitely complete us. And had it
[10:08] had
[10:08] a little bit of something that's related to you folks but I strongly caution you to
[10:13] to find out what your liability would be for that particular project Hypothetically
[10:18] let's say. That rumor that you own it and let's just say they cleared the homeless
[10:24] out of the homeless all come back and you get Peter Martin or someone to litigating
[10:28] and shoot to relocate each of those people and I pointed that out before unless you
[10:32] have
[10:32] a security force out there 365247 they can't afford to have that those people are
[10:38] going to come back that's where they want to be or I wouldn't get involved in that
[10:42] I did if I don't think it's on here specifically is the renegotiation.
[10:49] Zone with Frank Gore which. During the time that that was negotiated I did
[10:55] a public records request and at that time Jack Kreiter had made how many different
[11:01] attempts to get money from some other thing like you have a you have
[11:05] a credit union it's related to the you know C.C.C.
[11:08] Going things and all the other banks guess how many other people he looked into for
[11:12] that money. If you are renegotiating this loan you have
[11:17] a fiduciary duty to look at your other options before you go ahead and roll that
[11:22] loan into something else and there may be cheaper money out there or there may be
[11:27] better terms there may not be any strings in the current or the future attached
[11:31] that many try strongly suggest you look at your options and assure that you do have
[11:35] a fiduciary duty to get the best rates with the least strings attached and of
[11:40] course I had
[11:41] a lot of anger with the strings that were attached to that one that was unbelievable
[11:44] to me and just to reiterate I'm on that lease that you have it on the budget here
[11:49] for a short amount that's
[11:50] a meeting on that lease was approved 5 personally offered to pay you twice as much
[11:54] for that lease is what was being given and again from my opinion you're pretty sure
[11:57] your duty if that time was NEGLI. It was stated that they thought he was
[12:01] a better candidate or whatnot but I could have proved my ability to Tennessee and
[12:05] several East that even the current lease and the other people around so I strongly
[12:11] suggest on any of those leases you don't go through that process again I think was
[12:15] negligent in the future you do your duty and. Allow the public and to make
[12:22] peace for these kind of leases and these kind of options think.
[12:37] I. Want to give you
[12:40] a little bit of. Feedback on. D.C.
[12:47] For the 4th of July parade. Some of you know you may not I'm your.
[12:53] Region one representative. For California Water Agencies and. Once
[13:00] a year sometimes twice a year I go to D.C.
[13:02] To lobby for water issues over the years I have developed
[13:05] a great relationship with. Paul Ryan chief of staff he's now
[13:13] number 2
[13:13] a water and environment of the Interior Department and that relationship proved
[13:18] very fruitful in
[13:20] a lot of ways. Lera tell you when I was out. Last February.
[13:27] I speak to these people about our dredging issue about and I have an on going.
[13:35] Getting legislation and
[13:37] a one time legislation Carvel. That our environmental process was streamlined so
[13:43] the max what I spoke to him this time about was David Byrne artisanal the secretary
[13:50] of interior and we know David Treuer for years he was the attorney for West and an
[13:55] hour and
[13:55] a good friend of ours. Specifically And I. Bring it on her because we spoke
[14:02] . On the night of the 4th. And
[14:09] replenishing of. Losses especially after the North. And
[14:17] it's been used all over the country successfully and so combining those. And
[14:22] getting those that Lang we talked about and keep talking to people about it you
[14:28] plant a seed Sometimes it takes
[14:29] a long time for it to mature and so that's what I do every time I'm around these
[14:34] guys and. Show me.
[14:44] How honored I was to be able to be and the 4th of July parade with 20 horsemen
[14:49] representing. Cowboys for America of course where there is supporter of President
[14:54] as
[14:55] a particular. Close to my heart to represents lots of things. That
[15:07] I say we work with the Obama administration we work with the Bush administration we
[15:12] work with this administration on things like real equity issues in housing dredging
[15:19] the harbor getting our roads you know these are issues that I feel all party lines
[15:25] are we should support and we have to you all have to we work with whatever
[15:29] administrations there we may like one better than the other but I try to I try to
[15:34] do the job that I do for my community and for you as being
[15:38] a member of. The best benefits of all of us. Go online go to my
[15:45] Web page and you can see as. It was 99 degrees and 98 percent
[15:51] humidity and my wife sure looked like I was in
[15:56] a way. To anyway. Thank you God for.
[16:12] I had
[16:13] a couple of things that have been kind of negative at me and I haven't followed
[16:17] this is closely as I should but I don't know I remember hearing about the problem
[16:23] with the king salmon. The last time that I heard was that like you were unable to
[16:29] or you couldn't get the permits to do it or whatever and so the people that have
[16:33] a problem with the flooding as. Well as in the paper. Non-title
[16:41] storm related flooding is going to be happening. You know I don't know what the
[16:46] status of that is I just want to make sure that it's still on your radar if you
[16:48] happen. Because again we're coming up to another maybe reading winner. In something
[16:55] and also like to express
[16:56] a little bit of concern that Richard Marx did not know that it was raining today
[17:01] expressed in the same standards that he had no idea of the meeting he. Had to that
[17:06] effect so maybe somebody is not listening reading their agendas or something just
[17:12] a little surprising also I also heard from. Larry. That
[17:20] that you guys have got all the permits to build containment. Since
[17:26] dredging isn't on the agenda for say I can talk about that anyway and that included
[17:32] creating kind of
[17:33] a. On the property that you had to have all the. Permits to do all this and you
[17:39] also have permits to use the clarifying ponds to dump the dredging from wooden
[17:44] Island or to pump the dredging from Woody Allen on to. Property where the
[17:50] clarifying pond is and you're also doing some sort of
[17:52] a secondary hole to hold this is all from Larry to me and you have the permits for
[17:59] all of this. So just yesterday I heard from somebody who taught this knowledge that
[18:04] you are not allowed to put boils even in the Super Bowl because there was issues of
[18:11] creating. Salt water contamination in ground water or something and I just want to
[18:17] make sure that that isn't slipping by people. If it's not illegal if you're permits
[18:23] really don't cover that again and we didn't have time after the meeting to go into
[18:27] in-depth that because you were kind of brushing off some of these but I think it's
[18:31] kind of important that if you're not allowed to do this and you say you got the
[18:35] permits and does everybody like I call Fish and Wildlife you've got all the permits
[18:40] or the food to go and you can start digging holes out in the. Water.
[18:50] And you know again with all the flooding in. A storm related flooding I think we
[18:56] need to deal with some of the. Plans around king salmon and down in the.
[19:04] Area. Listening.
[19:20] To.
[19:57] The drudgery. Sure is going to exceed the income. And
[20:04] I have. To account for. That and save money for
[20:11] a story of interest or trophy so we record. For the last 4 years including those of
[20:16] the reserve in the house with interest. So for this particular here it will be
[20:23] a. Deficit in the verses which most of.
[20:40] You could characterize. To characterize if Harvard is 3. Dollars.
[20:47] And is the same as if. The
[20:54] fish were treated to the lot of them on
[20:58] a wall does it means there were especially for my case in this period that we're
[21:04] taking credit we don't get to print money for
[21:07] a little bit of. It is not good ever and you can see.
[21:14] That we're spending money on this in the back in our case.
[21:22] So I just want to. See my. Headline was
[21:27] a little. Could be case interpreted the. 2 the
[21:34] way he looked to try to figure out what it is they were talking from our village of
[21:40] the exhibit B. There is
[21:42] a list of. Harvard we have. The control.
[21:51] Of the mortgage tax credit on this $1000.00 and so the theory
[21:58] finally told. For the future of her already house for me is.
[22:08] Preservative debt payments are stripped. Down to the truth of.
[22:17] What is right and we're not going to. Write in the budget or spend. The.
[22:27] Mortgage for you right or not or if you are.
[22:36] Substantial because of course.
[22:44] And. That there is radio dory free will there arise you.
[22:55] Created in the British. Strategy of.
[23:02] Realization we did. Produce stand still our ability to achieve in the
[23:09] early enough for our other infrastructure of water around you that is sure sure.
[23:17] Instead of buried in the together of the other 2 into our business managers who
[23:24] will they. Continue to. Run into. Their is
[23:31] evil. And what. I am so. So do I think the.
[23:39] People based community. For would want to arrive at
[23:44] a rational. Policy. To the agencies to oversee your
[23:51] activities because they are causing part of the. Stress for this tree. And
[23:58] also in. In our ability to maintain proper terms for the English and
[24:05] when it's to do with the increase for for
[24:08] a few those few. Fish there for we have
[24:12] a phone for. Sure. And so it will. Be an issue.
[24:19] These issues are. These issues are going to want. To read all of them out of the
[24:25] friends we will. And the damage. We are
[24:32] forced to use like. FACE.
[24:43] But for you. As
[24:46] a fish and Sunday and education. Questions
[24:54] just for patient hold. These.
[25:01] Truths to. Which we have
[25:04] a lot of comedians who are this. One of it one of the
[25:11] issues that came up in one of the yesterday was
[25:15] a. It's under construction so. There's
[25:21] a good. With the will knock of the history has
[25:25] a. Day.
[25:33] Will endure and probably as long as the. Heart of the dread
[25:40] is in the house the place the basket this around to left higher so that in no
[25:47] small critters get into the fight for good. And.
[25:55] Useful is not stuff we were really just be to just. These would be trying
[26:02] to get this on
[26:02] a budget so. That. If this bill.
[26:10] Is that were the. Operation.
[26:18] Of the I believe the line item that we have under. 600. And that's.
[26:25] True. And that is for the car that he is out right now it's on the district website
[26:32] . So there's an additional $50000.00. For those who are out of that.
[26:40] $50000.00 is to basically buy the. Preparers of those other things.
[26:48] That we need to do in order to be compared to. Infinity I just want to I just want
[26:54] to we have had
[26:55] a permit for this expression and we have created plays and now it is change
[27:01] regulation. So we have to change the screen before we will fully We don't know that
[27:08] she's really we think someone's relations has changed in the last where we go
[27:15] through approval my. Guess from her explanation
[27:22] to myself is. The holders pretty much on
[27:28] a daily basis. Days or so.
[27:36] If this firm will not in this there's got to be 6 figures and.
[27:45] By the time we go to the. Heart of the dollars that were
[27:52] just $617.00 or so with that. Crew so.
[27:59] I just I just really. Sure you always leave out the even though there's
[28:03] a dollar amount is the. Small surcharge. Dollars.
[28:10] History is still is known to. Hundreds of dollars. In 2 or
[28:17] 3. Which will come in the budget ask $500.00 is he.
[28:25] Just to clarify as our district has 2 programs from the fields away for the fields
[28:29] I've heard from water all the control work. Permits we do not have.
[28:37] To be scheduled to be on the ECOs for their meeting we.
[28:44] Have. A mission permit everybody's working to give those ones.
[28:53] Who will decide. Will they issue
[28:56] a permit to dredge. And fields when people are. North.
[29:03] Or they will show us where we will we hope. To schedule that we've.
[29:15] How we as
[29:16] a community can help with the cost is to commission even the. Very
[29:25] wise as the way to do the. Weather is on the agenda or not
[29:32] just in the womb. And there's probably there's probably
[29:39] a couple 100 talking points that can come out very easy to lose of just for
[29:45] a home away. With being
[29:48] a lot of tourist budget whining because of how it will raise treated differently.
[29:55] Because it's just filler
[29:58] a spectacular day. Other side of this for. These
[30:05] future. Is Monday August. Just saw this is.
[30:12] The United States Environmental Protection Agency is going to have
[30:15] a workshop here. That. Will be 2 of
[30:21] 33 different time frames that can be there 10 am 230 and 7 pm
[30:27] and there it is. There are still huge issues that can be very forward to help with
[30:35] the cost of bridge one of the issues for beneficial reuse the product earlier
[30:42] that is an item is the. Order to save dollars and.
[30:49] The E.P.A.
[30:50] Definition. And finds preclude all day from
[30:58] using the bridge for. Directly to the beach so that is
[31:05] a great place for the public to speak directly to the E.P.A.
[31:09] And expand on the fact that home movies for those schools are part of nourishment
[31:16] for the beach and that also has a beneficial use on this for as
[31:21] a smaller carbon footprint a smaller budget item for her. And also
[31:27] a pro she. Could be provided to the community if we have
[31:34] a definition change. And save millions of dollars to so that is something.
[31:42] To try to either all 3 of you need some talking point ideas call me. That's huge
[31:50] commission be on this is another huge one. And this is
[31:56] a great opportunity for us to shape to the is. In the next budget
[32:03] this forest. Lost.
[32:13] Over in the. Water $41.00 of the one about.
[32:23] To be. Treated cool to fish and is not.
[32:30] Sure of. The.
[32:37] Fish will bit the words you used. To be good.
[32:45] For the way it is. And you know. Marriage.
[32:54] Creations are. Going to unify the physician for favors for you very much.
[33:02] In the form of female evolution that. You want to work with all the environmental
[33:08] groups and seize the fishermen in their will and across the spectrum so to speak
[33:14] with one board the ones who will never get out of our budget. For true sustainable
[33:21] . At
[33:23] a low low energy basis and by the way we leverage target about. Teachers now right
[33:29] Santa Cruz star. If you don't see it but it actually literally the story is
[33:37] so. Unfair to. Those fish and we're going do that.
[33:45] But it. Was
[33:49] a fall Richard. For.
[33:59] Him.
[34:09] You know very hard. For this
[34:16] very. Cautiously optimistic.
[34:29] That we need to keep her.
[34:36] Calm cool and I don't see any problems with the future ratio of being able to
[34:41] generate additional service capacity because of budget surplus 5 year for him. To
[34:48] write down we're right direction regulatory mechanisms.
[34:56] We would have made by on the C.V.
[34:58] . They would have paid for half the way to the. End to settlement
[35:05] that they could use for the machine is dump and they. Got to have
[35:11] a change and fundamentally for us to be fiscally sound we will give. To them
[35:19] so I. Hear you go I.
[35:28] Want to thank all the people you see here day. I guess a little later I get
[35:33] a comment on your canceling your regular meeting. I reached out to Greg and I don't
[35:38] know what time it was 10 o'clock or something and probably Greg that close enough
[35:42] and at that time he wasn't aware that there was going to be
[35:45] a meeting really appreciate him calling me I don't know 530 or 6 to let me know
[35:50] that there was going to be
[35:51] a meeting. But it's for this amount of people to show up for this meeting and it
[35:57] does give the perception that if you really don't. Want to hear intentional or not
[36:02] . I am going to recommend that you go back to schedule meetings during the month
[36:07] you can always catch if you do your business during scheduled meetings that we know
[36:12] we can schedule our time for rather than all these people shutting down what they
[36:15] were doing today myself included I should be in world cricket right now I mean my
[36:19] trees. Are budgeted but you're here we go. On
[36:24] a budget here. You. Used to have when Paddy
[36:31] Christ was here budget method it was very clean and clear and I highly recommend
[36:35] that there we go back and look at what Paddy Tyson used to do because she had 2 or
[36:39] 3 sheets attached to this to explain to each of the deviations and here the public
[36:44] and you could understand I mean that she had
[36:46] a skill set that may not be able to be duplicated but it was phenomenal if you I
[36:51] think you mentioned a Schedule D.
[36:53] Maybe I misunderstood but we don't have that here in the future if you're going to
[36:57] mention
[36:58] a schedule that we could look at it and see what you're talking about and then I've
[37:02] also requested multiple times regarding the budget that we have the balance sheet
[37:06] here that has your assets and liabilities all for people to see because then we can
[37:11] go back and forth and understand your budget and I'm sure Mark will tell you that's
[37:15] kind of
[37:15] a necessary part of the pie as far as accounting and I understand your budget is to
[37:19] have that with us. I do appreciate the fact that sometimes Jack rider was off by
[37:26] 60 percent or more initially prophesies can come and sometimes off by 20 percent as
[37:32] far as his expenses and these were both in the wrong direction this is much more
[37:37] realistic budget appreciate. Who are afraid to go over to the Senate hopefully get
[37:43] a sled will be in the balance sheet before it goes before the supervisors but I
[37:48] highly recommend you have those in for the meeting if you don't have those things
[37:53] so you can understand it being caring to what I do and budgets I'm not going to
[37:58] share. Patrick's optimism. Because regulations are going to go away I think you
[38:04] need to continually budget more I don't see anything in here as far as as far as
[38:10] potential litigation expenses should the fishermen's lawsuit or another one or 2
[38:16] that may be coming out there which you can't assess now but that one should have
[38:20] some kind of an insurer set aside based upon potential because if you're going to
[38:26] buy during this you're in. Or you have more cost or if you had to refund
[38:31] a significant portion of the people out here for their return or they started
[38:36] illegally withholding their red dread to show that you fulfilled your contract I
[38:40] think you're going to find
[38:41] a cure for your way over estimated as far as your income is so I don't know exactly
[38:45] how to compute those things but I think there are ways to do that potential
[38:50] litigation costs and
[38:52] a set aside for those things either other counties have funds for those kind of
[38:55] things I don't think you have the insurance to cover that so without the insurance
[38:59] I think you should be setting aside money for
[39:01] a. Resolution of litigation and thank you.
[39:11] For.
[39:19] A couple of questions. About the. Salaries and the payroll burden.
[39:26] And the fear that pressure with that means and maybe get
[39:29] a little bit of explanation and. I don't see here I'm sure it's somewhere but how
[39:36] many employees you know covered under that salary. And wages just kind of
[39:42] interesting because you know they've got 893 in salaries and wages the payroll
[39:48] burden is 673. I mean now we're talking and 900000
[39:55] that's just a 1000000 and
[39:56] a half dollars is that that's just for guys to have an extra. And various point
[40:01] about dredging costs. I think putting together an alley with.
[40:09] Over. $5070.00 something and but if there's
[40:15] another 6 figure somewhere that's also involved to be helpful.
[40:23] Sure thanks. To all for.
[40:31] Social Security were it's come out of. Partial.
[40:38] For the. Years of. It's 34 years it will.
[40:48] Probably be very. Little to be in how well P.C.'s have faith and I am
[40:54] far. I want to encourage you to not vote on the budget today but to have
[41:01] reschedule
[41:02] a regular meeting before August because the turnout today with 24 hour days during
[41:09] this meeting. Indicates to me and people I've talked with that
[41:15] a lot more of the public is interested in involving themselves in understanding and
[41:20] recommending things on the budget. Dredging
[41:27] budget last June 27 meeting when I was here I asked Mr ocurred
[41:34] where to look for
[41:36] a. Surcharge as surcharge figures and I went back and I found the staff report
[41:43] on July 28th. And I see that.
[41:50] The last judging cycle costed $1700000.00 and none of that was from
[41:56] a surcharge does when the surcharge began. On the client on the tenants for
[42:03] a dredging fee. And then in the in this budget Thank you Mr
[42:10] DOS for clarifying that other chunks of money have been contributed for the
[42:15] permeating because that doesn't show up in the assertion that only the 620 cells
[42:21] and from the dread surcharge is going to be used for the dredging there's
[42:25] a community to community benefit to dredging the harbor people come from far away
[42:32] money here it's icon a it's
[42:35] a tourist attraction and people come here and buy fish off the dock or. Something
[42:40] that the harbor should promote. To maintain
[42:44] a commercial fishing harbor here. So it doesn't look like the slips are going to
[42:50] get dredged this year. And maybe some of the fairways are going to get through but
[42:57] probably not all of them. And so we're still going to in crab season we're going to
[43:02] encounter running around at low tide in their slips sometimes getting damaged.
[43:10] So it's curious to me I don't know where that $1700000.00 came from that was fin on
[43:16] dredging before and by the harbor no longer has money like that spin on dredging
[43:22] and so there's been
[43:22] a whole lot of different transactions that have gone on land acquisitions and so on
[43:28] and I am not up to date on all of those. I think it would be really helpful
[43:35] to have another scheduled meeting this month so that more of the public can see the
[43:41] figures and. Understand better what you're doing and give helpful
[43:48] tips and advice. And that's all I am right now thank you.
[43:58] Very hard.
[44:08] 1st of all I want to question and this is probably for. Larry Larry
[44:15] if you. Have
[44:19] a question regarding the basket or screen for the.
[44:29] Do we have what's the connection with that and dredging. Because you said we've
[44:35] been using the pump for
[44:37] a long time. And I realized you know and yes things do change and they
[44:44] suddenly require you to do things I now have to have my propane tanks 5 every 5
[44:50] years because somebody got on top of it. Whereas before people ignored it so I
[44:56] don't know if this is just something that somebody suddenly noticed more proof.
[45:05] Right. There. In the overall for the way to
[45:12] save money. On the. Contest.
[45:20] In the process. For the.
[45:27] Right it. Was the. Threat for the purpose to. Extract
[45:34] the. Water right. Or are enough of the water or.
[45:47] So it's
[45:47] a pump that even though it's There is not currently in you still is. It's just.
[45:57] For. Water to get.
[46:06] As for. Trying to see ride this was necessarily
[46:11] a drenching expands well as we're going to feel whole. Budget
[46:18] this year we're not it's too expensive for us to pay top dollar for the offer oh
[46:25] yeah still the creative idea to save money is why it's so fun to get
[46:32] right. To the. Water you want it.
[46:42] Is. Mostly for.
[46:49] The for all and with the drudgery and the entire problem budgeting.
[46:58] Basically. The 3 sixty's and the loss of the water and.
[47:09] Basically. They died because. 330 so it's the exact
[47:16] same story earlier in
[47:17] a very. Very few of whom are. Right.
[47:27] 3 to 4. Will be have. To do.
[47:35] If we're to see those huge fees the right frankly and that's why I was wondering if
[47:41] the issue. With. The whole. Idea.
[47:50] Of the new standard.
[47:57] There are very fine. OK good.
[48:05] OK So budget. About this before and I
[48:11] did not keep the old. Preliminary budget so I am just wondering
[48:19] on the exhibit A utility surcharge for Woodley Island
[48:26] is that. Just the surcharge for you now including the actually pay.
[48:37] Because if you're not I still want to see that on here because it's easy. And I
[48:42] don't see it anywhere fast not it.
[48:49] Will be. Because we had the surcharge for the meter. Which are now paid
[48:56] off. We're going to get paid
[48:59] a surcharge which is OK by me my 5 other people objecting to that but
[49:07] we are also paying for. It. And I do not see anywhere.
[49:17] That big here. Which is why I'm asking. You know. There is
[49:24] slip France there's a. Pair and then we get
[49:29] a separate utility bill. Trust me on that one.
[49:42] Specifically with. The.
[49:52] Charge of the need to be. Sure.
[50:03] I believe that.
[50:28] Thank you for the opportunity to address this. A resident. Here
[50:35] representing my own interest as
[50:37] a resident taxpayer. I'd also like to start by agreeing with thank you for saying
[50:42] we need
[50:43] a meeting on some of these topics and I come back to that. And I think new approaches
[50:49] are needed. On the $771000.00.
[51:01] Being really. Using what I often describe as my friendly voice but I will
[51:08] speak up and please understand. That these are intended as friendly comments and
[51:14] suggestions so I think what addressed one of the things we heard earlier is there
[51:18] are times. That I know you're executive director has told me he feels are mistaken
[51:24] perceptions something's.
[51:35] Not. For you today. It was
[51:42] posted at this special meeting 25 hours in advance. Because I've been trying to
[51:48] encourage people who aren't normally watching your budget. And let's try to bring
[51:53] some new ideas. Asked me to meeting with proposals and solutions and I thought that
[51:59] . Good idea I have 3 of my own but I can't give it to you in 3 minutes I want to
[52:04] try but I think there is a need for
[52:07] a meeting on this budget topic in the month of July before you submit your adopted
[52:14] budget to the Board of Supervisors. The public is interested in this fiscal year
[52:19] budget and in your budget process. There are members of the public that can't be
[52:24] here today because of work commitments and I'm sure. The June 13th special meeting
[52:31] you may recall had one member of the public present. The
[52:38] Parliamentary Budget was adopted although I felt that process was Rush and I
[52:42] expressed that concern to the executive director or at the time. Later at your
[52:49] regular June 27th. You were informed that there was
[52:53] a significant error I believe the comment you made was that it was $800.00 or
[52:57] approximately 800000 dollars. It looks like you had more money in your home and
[53:03] a budget that in fact you actually. I would like to clarify the question about
[53:08] deficit Mr White So mentioned that it's not necessarily as missionary said you're
[53:14] already in dead more than
[53:16] a $1000000.00 probably 2 or $3000000.00 By my reading. But there's
[53:20] a pattern going back 10 years in the effort I've made to look at your records
[53:25] deficit spending therefore you have to borrow money to cover the deficit. So even
[53:30] if you account for the 771000 this year's deficit being projected in your budget
[53:36] package you have and. Subtract 620. $50000.00
[53:42] additionally for dredging. Deficit spending over $100000.00 that's
[53:48] a concern to many of us we would like to see you succeed honestly again I'm not
[53:53] trying to be critical I'm trying to bring the US some suggestions of all your
[53:57] resources that you have to bring to bear on this. In this budget. And I have 3
[54:03] specific tangible examples for you later. As
[54:09] a user. Who's been in the water twice this last week intends to go once again next
[54:14] week we're having discussions with charter boat operators about the dredging or
[54:19] lack there of the influences their ability to get out of the marina. So I support
[54:24] your need to operate and maintain
[54:26] a high quality facility. I believe that some new approaches are needed. And I'd
[54:33] like to end with Again this request that you not adopt the budget today but
[54:38] schedule either your regular meeting in July on the 25th I believe it was you have
[54:43] difficulty getting a form for that into
[54:46] a workshop if need be so more than 3 directors can show up for more than 2
[54:49] directors comply with it but I really believe the public perception and the
[54:55] interest of your constituents you'd be well served if you would not adopt this
[54:59] budget today and would have one additional meeting this month thank you very much.
[55:05] There was more. At the G.
[55:08] 27th meeting I asked
[55:09] a question about comments your executive director had made. To go shooting the
[55:14] terms of the. Because it is one of the 3 big items in your current indebtedness
[55:21] and Larry has informed me that that loan expires I believe it expired approximately
[55:27] April 29th of 28 I'm not sure how the loan can expire when it has but the important
[55:33] thing that I find in the document that was agreed to in 24. Is that the interest
[55:38] rate based on that agreement in 25 years ago can go up 5 percent over the
[55:45] rate that it was agreed to initially So if you take the 3. Percent rate that it was
[55:49] initially at for 4 years and add the 5 percent that you've already agreed to that's
[55:54] 8 in the quarter percent interest rate that you may be I have not been able to
[55:58] determine that because those. So the public would appreciate learning how you deal
[56:05] with this. Debt servicing your. New fiscal year budget that you may
[56:11] adopt in the future thank you.
[56:29] And then they'll understand in the mission understanding. When you do especial
[56:35] meeting. People. Different
[56:42] you know maybe they understand it maybe they don't. Give out
[56:46] a lot of phone calls here about coming in what you know it's
[56:48] a budget and quite frankly I wish I'd been on another wavelength and I don't know
[56:52] what I told people I. Don't know what the answer is whether there's
[56:56] a problem here and. I would I would just think it would be prudent if you could
[57:00] find it in your time schedule for what you have to do short of.
[57:08] Maybe have
[57:08] a. If you could or another meeting to give the public the 1st. QUESTION
[57:16] You're being answered and I'm not I don't know whether you think that you need to
[57:22] correct or not correct or whether. Your constituents in your
[57:29] constituency having the feeling that. They're getting the information in
[57:35] a timely manner and that.
[58:02] Hi My name is Joan Romo and I'm
[58:03] a humble County resident. I was looking through some of the past reports and the
[58:10] staff report meeting from June 20th there was last month comedians we had to do
[58:15] with some explanation of. The budget and it was after reading the staff report the
[58:21] arbor district meeting of June 20th 21000 I found it was information that seemed
[58:26] big and needed to be clarified in a discussion paragraph it says a discussion
[58:32] a preliminary budget is essentially the 1st draft and staff and the board will
[58:36] continue to meet and make adjustments until the final budget is adopted the biggest
[58:41] issues that must be addressed by the repayment of the Kosi food loan associated
[58:46] with removing contamination payment of property taxes that are empty too and
[58:51] payment of expenses associated with. Another big expenses the 3 retirements that
[58:56] occurred as
[58:57] a result of collective bargaining agreements the district is responsible for the
[59:00] health insurance retirees will increase from approximately $36000.00 at the
[59:05] beginning of fiscal year 27 $1996000.00 in fiscal year 21000 to $20.00 as
[59:12] discussed in previous meetings the focus of this year's budget. Will be on cost
[59:17] containment transferred expenses wherever possible increasing revenue deferring
[59:23] expenses and not taking on liabilities and that came from well to
[59:30] actually from the staff meeting so I had questions when I read that I said why
[59:36] isn't the dredging of the merino the 1st of the business biggest issues that must
[59:40] be addressed financially instead of the 3rd on the list. What does the transfer in
[59:44] expenses mean as part of the focus for this year's budget transfer expenses where
[59:49] and what. What does the following expenses mean how serious is the district to not
[59:55] taking on additional liabilities what credits. Do you think the district has
[1:00:01] financially right now based on your debt to income ratio and your credibility to
[1:00:06] pay off your loans why was the original July 11th special meeting called
[1:00:10] a budget review if necessary when July 11th should be and the latest date the time
[1:00:16] of budget approval could be made in order to get to the Board of Supervisors at
[1:00:19] a comfortable time for them to approve the budget before August 1st why was it July
[1:00:24] 25th regular meeting schedule for the final budget review adoption and transmission
[1:00:29] to the board when the agenda has to be posted by July 26th for the July 30th board
[1:00:35] of supervisors meeting. How much principal has been paid for the Kosi Foodland so
[1:00:39] far is the public going to have any idea how the 4 grants are going to be used for
[1:00:44] example the projected use in their report on actual use of the finest is in any of
[1:00:49] the $187113.00 grant money that's in the budget designated for the harbor are going
[1:00:55] to help with the dredging crisis. I would like to have
[1:00:59] a written copy of the answers to questions please think you.
[1:01:07] Can do.
[1:01:22] Whatever mission for.
[1:01:39] Her. Decision.
[1:01:48] Another one. This parish border to. Keep my comments for that enters.
[1:01:58] The whole album. Permitting in all those restrictions or something to blame for
[1:02:06] overruns I do have
[1:02:07] a tat restoration. Anticipate whatever you're doing. Is
[1:02:15] . Reasonable as I have
[1:02:17] a reasonable permeating process to get you to what your actual. And
[1:02:24] a lot of things there. Is obviously multiple layers of but I don't know.
[1:02:32] What your process is assessing what the cost of that or. The
[1:02:38] changes you know go talk to the timber industry go talk to the gravel miners for.
[1:02:44] Marijuana cultivation there are really warning about having found themselves in
[1:02:48] a regulatory process that they've been avoiding for
[1:02:51] a long time. To the
[1:02:57] beneficiaries whatever the pipe in the screen and whoever is the beneficiary of
[1:03:03] that shouldn't be. Doing that. You know when.
[1:03:11] The farm and all that was. A lease braised X.
[1:03:17] Number of dollars to really cover your costs. And all of that.
[1:03:25] Spending to go through that process for your requirements the people out there with
[1:03:31] slips are paid. Every month or they got out you know to leave and they have
[1:03:38] a reasonable expectation I think that. For that that they're paying for that space
[1:03:45] it's going to be serviceable. I don't think it's realistic to expect those revenue
[1:03:51] sources to cover this agencies on all these other speculative if you will.
[1:04:00] Never should. Have
[1:04:04] a movie Man of. The environmental restrictions promoting it all that's more
[1:04:09] restrictive I deal with that every day is just something this. Part of the world
[1:04:15] these days and you just have to budget to deal with it and make sure that the
[1:04:22] beneficiaries whoever the entity is painful for that project is bearing the cost
[1:04:27] for that I don't think it's fair at all to put it on the backs before already every
[1:04:32] month for things that are. Consuming
[1:04:35] a lot. Of. Legal Counsel and executive director and all that.
[1:04:43] Have put that on the backs of people who are paid for the reasonable expectations
[1:04:47] for having
[1:04:48] a serviceable facility for operating their business so thank you. For
[1:05:28] It was discussed before this is. The series.
[1:05:37] Were scheduled. For. This.
[1:05:45] Will. Go.
[1:05:54] Through I. Wish he was. The. Give.
[1:06:03] To the supervisors it does not go on the board of supervisors and transfer it is to
[1:06:09] the. C.E.O.'s office and now for you and so.
[1:06:17] To the proof. Of.
[1:06:31] The changes to numbers coming out of the structure.
[1:06:39] Of if you are. Going to as the.
[1:06:46] I think the focus of. This trip.
[1:06:54] Is. To see common ground among your new numbers show that of the forward
[1:07:01] in a way that is fresh and the current policy is not a science based there's not
[1:07:06] a shred of science fair the bullet hitting data on the smell that operate in honor
[1:07:11] of a cautionary for people to tear milk at home with
[1:07:15] a. Legal system from what other people systems in California are last seen as
[1:07:22] a result of industrial I would. Have the heart of. Anything at all to feed their
[1:07:29] democracy and they regulate us here when why we have wild and healthy population
[1:07:35] this for civil with the already sure where even to school is arbitrary and is not.
[1:07:41] Remediable the. Preserve we have to deal with decision holes in that the issue in
[1:07:47] the bush is. Natural we go next. To.
[1:08:03] Here are the. 3. Came out here
[1:08:10] it is. A. Lot more than.
[1:08:17] The. Reviews. Are
[1:08:24] if you Director.
[1:08:34] Or if.
[1:08:42] It is. Who want to have it for. Your life if you do have.
[1:08:50] Very little or maybe not
[1:08:52] a full evolution. Stream
[1:09:02] . Of some of these issues.
[1:09:09] You know are canceling the other me. If I don't.
[1:09:18] Like to see is. That I often hear of.
[1:09:29] You know if there is intentional or not.
[1:09:37] Or. Anything. So I.
[1:09:48] Found another.
[1:10:04] If it was if people.
[1:10:17] Really are.
[1:10:24] Pushing. For you to do.
[1:10:35] Some of the similar. But.
[1:10:42] Not. If. You see.
[1:10:50] The.
[1:11:14] Budget amendments. Of Iran in the. Near. Future.
[1:11:23] You.
[1:11:34] May. Be. Or be.
[1:11:42] Ready in the. Interest. Of the lives to anybody for
[1:11:49] me. To. Be. The
[1:11:56] prettiest here. Last year of. Last 2 games are.
[1:12:03] Just for the do
[1:12:04] a series of these socially to own over on the fly why we're
[1:12:11] OK We don't want to do is up to the because we. Feel slightly.
[1:12:21] For the whole series of the live and so forth.
[1:12:28] Each individual of the table over the last 2 or even. More is.
[1:12:35] Close to this in lieu of 2 members of the community as social into it closed doors
[1:12:42] to the public and have the opportunity to see and hear of even the interest of so
[1:12:47] that what Mark are saying is that if there are
[1:12:50] a major part of the forgers of the budget and we have to adjust and so then that
[1:12:55] would. Be. Kind of where that came
[1:13:02] from. Reserve after.
[1:13:12] Our own motion for. Free or Die. When.
[1:13:19] It is true of
[1:13:21] a few years never. Sees the resolution. Or
[1:13:28] do the. Put in the order.
[1:13:36] To. Forward it to you.
[1:13:44] For
[1:13:44] a vision. You. Very honestly. Hope
[1:13:53] to. Offer for your.

[1:15:18] More on.
[1:15:25] What. The volatile situation the regime and we're going to have.
[1:15:34] The interest of the word the day if more of the.
[1:15:43] Town through. The end of.
[1:15:51] A. Suitcase.
[1:16:12] If. My feeling
[1:16:19] is. If you want
[1:16:22] a. Life. And if.
[1:16:30] You. Were to. Give. For.
[1:16:37] The old you so here's the. Question
[1:16:44] for. The. Also leave the
[1:16:51] room if. It is 1st see some more information.
[1:16:58] That is in the. Bill. For. The
[1:17:05] mission. Is.
[1:17:19] Consistency. And if you want to do
[1:17:25] the.
[1:17:33] Work. In.
[1:17:42] This regard is. We advise.
[1:17:49] Favorite is staff and so. Very fair are we doing
[1:17:56] widespread brainstorming or come
[1:17:59] a little concerned. Sure. I would like.
[1:18:07] I would like to add that in the near future. I do hear the. Media.
[1:18:19] If we're going to do
[1:18:19] a meeting between the $9.00 to $14.00 to the special meeting I think.
[1:18:27] TO is very well known and you also may feel caught into that meeting.
[1:18:36] And I like to see as. The forward with an open discussion of.
[1:18:45] The obvious for. Those whom I felt so close to meeting on July 25.
[1:19:04] Will. Use this time today from the
[1:19:11] previous.
[1:19:22] Evening to.
[1:19:36] Give.
[1:19:47] This will.
[1:19:59] Give. I.
[1:20:22] Wanna. Go home.
[1:20:33] Or I fear if.
[1:20:40] It isn't is if. The. President. Would.
[1:20:47] Give us a call for
[1:20:49] a few more. Gave
[1:20:57] the. Order to hear. That higher
[1:21:03] level.
[1:21:10] What if.
[1:21:21] There's going to be every meeting everyone in this is very.
[1:21:30] Very. Hard is. Going to be here in.
[1:21:41] The. First shot. Or.
[1:21:56] Are we just. You know we do seem to find shows is
[1:22:03] increasingly the. More than one of the. 2 structures fatal.
[1:22:11] To the. I don't know more of it in terms 3 of us where if i'm
[1:22:18] sure what the way it works.
[1:22:28] It will. Benefit. Things that is chronicled in conversations with structure.
[1:22:36] And. I'm a little concerned with news of
[1:22:42] a far reaching to play with. Visions for
[1:22:46] a. Bridge kind of world
[1:22:54] order where we need to so I think that we really the whole field of readers will
[1:23:02] misunderstand that. And there needs to be more clarity and Wolf of.
[1:23:10] Mine. Who was. Just lawyers for both of.
[1:23:19] Us or. Even Or. Heard of it is that he
[1:23:25] is really not supposed to. Work. In.
[1:23:36] Misinformation. And. I
[1:23:43] think. If you do it RINGBACK. For
[1:23:50] the. Good old one pay for it in. Your IT.
[1:23:58] Or. I think it's
[1:24:02] a good idea that. To eat that shit or something. Is very easy in our earth.
[1:24:16] Is still
[1:24:16] a. Fair game rooms if. The
[1:24:24] . Patients that.
[1:24:32] Are related. And leave just just as it will happen to.
[1:24:39] Will. Still.
[1:24:48] Be placed.
[1:24:55] It's just it's just.
[1:25:06] Here here. To. Fish.
[1:25:30] For the fish.
[1:25:42] Are not. Very. Big here in.
[1:25:50] The history of. This is.
[1:26:03] I think he's It is. Very clear.
[1:26:13] That he. Is.
[1:26:23] The. One.
[1:26:34] For.
[1:26:42] A. Very. Very.
[1:26:50] Easy.
[1:27:04] And.
[1:27:18] I feel. Sorry for. The genders I don't.
[1:27:30] Really. Not hear is. There
[1:27:35] a. Shortage of whether
[1:27:40] a given their meeting will be the question is are we going to have the. Forest for
[1:27:46] the. Wife or are you scared or Monday or.
[1:27:53] So. For.
[1:28:08] Ask
[1:28:08] a friend appreciate the clarity of the time and the place and location. That's great
[1:28:13] . I just I do have to have to go and it regarding the staff scheduling and
[1:28:19] scheduling in the future is totally called for on the assertion that this meeting
[1:28:25] was scheduled. For today and if in the primary circumstantial evidence of people
[1:28:31] who weren't aware of it is your chairperson Greg Taylor and Richard Marx So if your
[1:28:35] staff isn't aware of it how can the public interpret the schedule that are out
[1:28:41] there out of the air so you know I just did say it's something that I will totally
[1:28:45] dispute there and. We all can maybe agree or disagree with where you are but I do
[1:28:52] appreciate the transcriber particularly concur that you know if I want to talk to
[1:28:56] really really DOS You know we could have
[1:28:58] a meeting maybe we'll have it so I'm going to restore him find some way to do with
[1:29:02] everybody and Guy didn't you never know I might even put it out there I can ask you
[1:29:06] why the writer of the labor or even the. Virtue of
[1:29:10] a lot of the shoulder quote I mean you know these are humans that he regarded I
[1:29:15] just didn't have time to do I didn't have time to go over it hard to see figure
[1:29:19] things out your budget that is really being handled and I don't think you gave it
[1:29:25] to your staff and stated it will require to see if we have flaws and especially
[1:29:30] with Patty Tyson was doing before so that's part of the reason why I support you
[1:29:34] know your motion but I also support Larry being willing to meet and you know other
[1:29:40] form enough if you don't want to be part of those things when you want to but
[1:29:43] you're asking us to come to meetings to help have your back and I don't think
[1:29:48] that's going to happen my guess Thing is I think you're asking us to come and have
[1:29:51] your back but if you're really not willing to have harsh in these issues and that's
[1:29:55] an ASP with both ways so I think
[1:29:57] a little bit selfish. Really hard to come up with more
[1:30:04] ideas here from people in this room who are way smarter than the average thought
[1:30:09] out some things that I think you could benefit from but you really don't seem to
[1:30:12] want to hear us so maybe we're going to take our money and our playbook and our
[1:30:16] support including
[1:30:17] a connection with the Coastal Commission here. This which we feel appropriate Thank
[1:30:22] you.
[1:30:30] Larry I think it's
[1:30:31] a brilliant idea and I. See any meeting is canceled. And
[1:30:38] perhaps some other meetings as well or other workshops developed as well now are
[1:30:44] very saying is this is just an old friend here was where he got they were not
[1:30:49] making decisions is not on anything it's a very Without
[1:30:53] a doubt it really will bring some brilliant idea I mean what I mean I'm here in the
[1:30:58] hall you guys are here and. Then you don't want to hear us fly around something if
[1:31:04] it's brilliant as that is there is won't stick his neck out and I think he's the
[1:31:09] right guy to do it because he's not that controversial I mean maybe we can make him
[1:31:15] that way I don't know. You know I don't know what you're afraid of That's why do
[1:31:21] you really like
[1:31:22] a bigger discussion what are you afraid of with. 2 I would
[1:31:29] say maybe even just 3 subjects. And then just have
[1:31:34] a facilitator identify with our as you know some sort of structure but this is
[1:31:39] a part of
[1:31:39] a learning curve because there are some brilliant people in this community and the
[1:31:44] more you guys shut off of that yet expect us to show up at the close commission
[1:31:49] N.E.V.
[1:31:49] A meeting. We care about is crazy and I think you guys got to hold
[1:31:57] and be receptive to some of the good ideas because. We want this to succeed and I
[1:32:02] think that. Dredging it seems like you don't want to have any other subject to
[1:32:08] discuss and I think that's fair it is an important discussion for sure but there
[1:32:13] are some other issues that I think you've got to be here certainly hold of for
[1:32:18] a reason. It's workshops and maybe you might want to thank you.
[1:32:29] For your of our.
[1:32:37] Document that I was referring to before the staff report. Had on here why
[1:32:44] $11.00 to 12 pm special meeting the budget review if necessary. If necessary to me
[1:32:51] that it was an option and the decision right 25th
[1:32:55] a regular meeting final budget review adoption and transmissions of more
[1:32:58] supervisors so. I get very frustrated and knowing it's never been and is now and
[1:33:05] how many times are you going to change I look on the Internet to find out well is
[1:33:11] this meeting going to be on the things on the Internet well what time is it to be
[1:33:14] high I don't know but I have been have 24 hours to put on our case was just before
[1:33:19] 12 o'clock yesterday so it's going to be at 1230 today there's no consistency when
[1:33:24] the meetings are going to be what kind of going to be and what's going to be on the
[1:33:28] agenda so when this one says If necessary for this meeting today and now it's
[1:33:33] suddenly the head of the decisions being made today and the 25th being cancelled.
[1:33:38] How can we trust the validity of what you say and what you put in the paper and
[1:33:42] what happened is that's my frustration that I'm getting right now it changes so
[1:33:47] quickly and so much we have to be on the Internet every day to find out what time
[1:33:51] it is going to be when the special meeting going to be now it's going to be on
[1:33:53] Monday the 12th I mean it's like come on people it's going to be the 4th. And maybe
[1:34:00] you have one or 2 special meetings but this is getting ridiculous as far as
[1:34:05] communication and keeping an honest open transparent time to have meetings and
[1:34:10] what's happening and so if you want I mean these decisions should have been made
[1:34:13] before I called up with mission today to find out about the process of how to get.
[1:34:21] To the Board of Supervisors and what I was told today was that they have to be
[1:34:26] reviewed. By Wednesday so they can be on the board of supervisors by the following
[1:34:31] Tuesday and no matter when you put a budget and it has
[1:34:35] a process to go through that has to be approved before it gets on the board
[1:34:38] supervisors and so I don't like this Budget was started in Q one if you did maybe
[1:34:45] Next you need to put it up to April and so you don't put yourself against
[1:34:49] a brick wall here of August 1st to me this is stupid this is like not play any I'm
[1:34:53] not betting and if you can't take your I shared
[1:34:56] a schedule how do you take your the monetary budget schedules Thank you.
[1:35:09] For. That with great
[1:35:16] commission or to. Much time to be put up with that.
[1:35:28] I really want to use my friendly suggestive approach. And I want to thank
[1:35:35] Commissioner Das for his proposal of the workshop. And I want to clarify that what
[1:35:40] was your question few minutes ago which by myself was not just
[1:35:44] a one topic workshop on dredging we really do have an idea of what you need. But I
[1:35:51] am sad to say that adopting the budget will draw additional critique so you have
[1:35:56] succeeded in confirming
[1:35:59] a bad. Oppression that some members of the public have how you function and the
[1:36:03] actions that you choose to take. Because on May 8th the document that your
[1:36:09] executive director. Circulated showed today's meeting Joan said he if needed but
[1:36:16] also said that there would be
[1:36:17] a meeting on July 25th that means that it has been out in the public for review for
[1:36:22] 2 months the public had 25 hours to adjust to today's meeting so I think you made
[1:36:29] a mistake but. It is.
[1:36:37] Example of you discouraging public participation rather than.
[1:36:44] What people sometimes say there's an appearance you don't like. It's unfortunate
[1:36:50] and how much time.
[1:36:57] Trying to be friendly and supportive it's hard for me to find things to say for
[1:37:01] that last night and again I'm sorry to say that because you need the help thank you
[1:37:04] very much.
[1:37:20] I called the. Day before yesterday and.
[1:37:27] Did not know what time the meeting would be she told me that I had read 24 hours
[1:37:33] notice. I checked the internet it. And then
[1:37:41] again after and found that it was going to be noon. Today or
[1:37:48] 1230. And. I. It's
[1:37:53] a problem for people who are working they can't come in the middle of the day.
[1:38:00] You're missing out on
[1:38:01] a lot of public input that would could feel very helpful if you.
[1:38:21] Care for. The.
[1:38:29] Harder.
[1:38:41] It would be my right to forget to join to to you. Or
[1:38:48] to form
[1:38:49] a new version. Of. Fear
[1:39:07] For our. Title.
[1:39:15] For. More than. A.
[1:39:22] Few.
