This week begins a significant

97
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,240
time on the jewish calendar,

98
00:03:26,344 --> 00:03:29,480
as we enter the 40-day period

99
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,800
leading up to the holiest day

100
00:03:33,484 --> 00:03:36,484

and ultimate with GOD.

105
00:03:48,766 --> 00:03:50,168
It is a time for prayer when

106
00:03:50,168 --> 00:03:50,735
tradition says the lord is in

107
00:03:50,735 --> 00:03:53,537

00:03:53,537 --> 00:03:55,537

111
00:04:00,478 --> 00:04:03,810
ra fine is close and GOD is a

112
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:04,883
dodger fan, certainly, the

113
00:04:04,883 --> 00:04:06,883
sentiment still stands.

114
00:04:07,170 --> 00:04:08,530
GOD's presence is near to

115
00:04:08,530 --> 00:04:09,921
those whose eyes, ears, and

116
00:04:09,921 --> 00:04:11,921
hearts are open.

I look forward to the

582
00:20:09,156 --> 00:20:10,990
conversation.

583
00:20:10,990 --> 00:20:13,760
I want to acknowledge the work

584
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,928
that the jail closure

585
00:20:15,928 --> 00:20:17,398
implementation team, jcit, has

586
00:20:17,398 --> 00:20:19,398
provided thus far.

587
00:20:19,866 --> 00:20:20,567
We have a set of required

588
00:20:20,567 --> 00:20:22,567
action s

589
00:20:23,237 --> 00:20:23,870
actions that will help us

590
00:20:23,870 --> 00:20:25,870
reduce our incarcerated

591
00:20:25,906 --> 00:20:27,906
population.

592
00:20:28,342 --> 00:20:29,243
So we also know that the

593
00:20:29,243 --> 00:20:31,643
group, the required actions

594
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:34,582
that jcit present d

595
00:20:34,582 --> 00:20:35,182
ed, it's not

596
00:20:35,182 --> 00:20:36,349
the final blueprint for jail

597
00:20:36,349 --> 00:20:38,285
closure.

598
00:20:38,285 --> 00:20:40,154
It was a point in time.

599
00:20:40,154 --> 00:20:41,355
So I'm clear about that.

600
00:20:41,355 --> 00:20:42,556
That's why I brought today's

601
00:20:42,556 --> 00:20:44,556
motion forward.

602
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,492
This underscores the urgency

603
00:20:47,561 --> 00:20:49,229
and necessity of advancing

604
00:20:49,229 --> 00:20:51,629
coordinated action to reduce

605
00:20:51,766 --> 00:20:53,967
harm, reduce the population,

606
00:20:53,967 --> 00:20:56,136
and safely get to us a point

607
00:20:56,136 --> 00:20:58,305
where we can close mcj.

608
00:20:58,305 --> 00:21:00,341
We are clearly working very

609
00:21:00,341 --> 00:21:02,108
hard to change a system, and

610
00:21:02,108 --> 00:21:03,878
that requires us to strengthen

611
00:21:03,878 --> 00:21:05,312
the planning framework, and

612
00:21:05,312 --> 00:21:07,682
ensure that this work is

613
00:21:07,682 --> 00:21:08,915
guided by a comprehensive

614
00:21:08,915 --> 00:21:10,915
systemwide approach, informed

615
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,880
by the expertise of our county

616
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,592
and the community who know our

617
00:21:17,592 --> 00:21:19,930
jail population best.

618
00:21:19,930 --> 00:21:21,261
A systemswide approach ensures

619
00:21:21,261 --> 00:21:23,531
that behavior health, health

620
00:21:23,531 --> 00:21:24,966
services operations and all

621
00:21:24,966 --> 00:21:26,534
other programs and services

622
00:21:26,534 --> 00:21:28,690
with a nexus to jail closure

623
00:21:28,690 --> 00:21:29,870
are indeed coordinated and at

624
00:21:29,870 --> 00:21:30,671
the table.

625
00:21:30,671 --> 00:21:32,600
I think both literally and

626
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,774
figuratively.

627
00:21:33,774 --> 00:21:36,774
In conversations that we have

628
00:21:37,145 --> 00:21:39,470
had with jcit, ceo office and

629
00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:39,681
departments we have come to a

630
00:21:39,681 --> 00:21:40,982
collective understanding that

631
00:21:40,982 --> 00:21:45,119
there is still much that we as

632
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,521
a county can do to depopulate

633
00:21:46,521 --> 00:21:47,550
our jails with greater

634
00:21:47,550 --> 00:21:49,550
co-lesion, engagement and

635
00:21:49,900 --> 00:21:51,900
alignment.

636
00:21:51,226 --> 00:21:52,250
All to meet the needs of

637
00:21:52,250 --> 00:21:53,995
family members and community

638
00:21:53,995 --> 00:21:55,730
members within the facilities.

639
00:21:55,730 --> 00:21:57,565
That's why this item will

640
00:21:57,565 --> 00:21:59,567
direct the ceo's office

641
00:21:59,567 --> 00:22:01,136
through jcit and in

642
00:22:01,136 --> 00:22:01,603
coordination with the

643
00:22:01,603 --> 00:22:04,300
departments to do the

644
00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:06,741
following: coordinate the

645
00:22:06,741 --> 00:22:08,809
closure process through a

646
00:22:08,809 --> 00:22:09,910
miltie disprincipally lens.

647
00:22:09,910 --> 00:22:10,912
Set departmental goals and

648
00:22:10,912 --> 00:22:13,470
related benchmarks to ensure

649
00:22:13,470 --> 00:22:14,150
accountability.

650
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:14,583
Incorporate budgetary

651
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:16,117
considerations and program

652
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:17,885
outcomes.

653
00:22:17,885 --> 00:22:20,285
And complete a requested

654
00:22:21,323 --> 00:22:23,157
reportback on this matter.

655
00:22:23,157 --> 00:22:26,161
I have heard as I've tried to

656
00:22:26,161 --> 00:22:26,461
talk to a variety of

657
00:22:26,461 --> 00:22:28,397
departments

658
00:22:28,397 --> 00:22:29,664
departments, as well as to the

659
00:22:29,664 --> 00:22:30,699
sheriff's department that

660
00:22:30,699 --> 00:22:32,300
there's a difference of

661
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:34,736
opinion about who should drive

662
00:22:34,736 --> 00:22:36,938
this process, if it's care

663
00:22:36,938 --> 00:22:37,505
first, for my perspective, it

664
00:22:37,505 --> 00:22:39,808
shouldn't be driven by the

665
00:22:39,808 --> 00:22:41,443
sheriff.

666
00:22:41,443 --> 00:22:43,712
It was suggested that perhaps

667
00:22:43,712 --> 00:22:45,614
a motion was necessary to

668
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:46,147
express the desire to have all

669
00:22:46,147 --> 00:22:47,149
of the departments at the

670
00:22:47,149 --> 00:22:48,517
table.

671
00:22:48,517 --> 00:22:49,618
So that's how we got here

672
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:51,319
today.

673
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:53,121
Again, this is not a about

674
00:22:53,121 --> 00:22:54,589
building a replacement jail

675
00:22:54,589 --> 00:22:56,158
for mcj.

676
00:22:56,158 --> 00:22:58,727
From my perspective this is

677
00:22:58,727 --> 00:23:00,762
not about building a

678
00:23:00,762 --> 00:23:02,598
replacement jail for mcj, it's

679
00:23:02,598 --> 00:23:04,998
about finding solutions that

680
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:05,901
will get us to jail closure.

681
00:23:05,901 --> 00:23:08,301
Ensuring that all efforts

682
00:23:08,637 --> 00:23:10,773
ahead are guided by the

683
00:23:10,773 --> 00:23:11,873
expertise of our health and

684
00:23:11,873 --> 00:23:14,273
care departments to ensure

685
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,178
that all decisions have been

686
00:23:16,178 --> 00:23:17,746
informed from that length,

687
00:23:17,746 --> 00:23:19,581
health and care.

688
00:23:19,581 --> 00:23:22,150
That requires a holistic view

689
00:23:22,150 --> 00:23:24,150
of justice reform.

690
00:23:24,486 --> 00:23:27,856
I think we have treated jail

691
00:23:27,856 --> 00:23:28,691
closure primarily as a justice

692
00:23:28,691 --> 00:23:29,257
systems challenge with health

693
00:23:29,257 --> 00:23:30,225
departments supporting the

694
00:23:30,225 --> 00:23:32,225
work.

695
00:23:33,362 --> 00:23:34,730
I think we need flip that

696
00:23:34,730 --> 00:23:37,399
script and shift the thinking.

697
00:23:37,399 --> 00:23:38,867
There's so many people in our

698
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:40,302
jails with complex needs

699
00:23:40,302 --> 00:23:41,470
including behavior health,

700
00:23:41,470 --> 00:23:43,405
substance use abuse, and

701
00:23:43,405 --> 00:23:45,405
housing needs.

702
00:23:45,974 --> 00:23:48,974
Departments with the nexus to

703
00:23:49,378 --> 00:23:50,846
these needs must be mayne

704
00:23:50,846 --> 00:23:52,681
supporting -- must be more

705
00:23:52,681 --> 00:23:53,449
than supporting actors and

706
00:23:53,449 --> 00:23:55,170
jail closure, they are

707
00:23:55,170 --> 00:23:56,285
essential to the collusion.

708
00:23:56,285 --> 00:23:58,187
I want to see that reflected

709
00:23:58,187 --> 00:23:59,522
in the level of initiative,

710
00:23:59,522 --> 00:24:00,323
creativity and ownership that

711
00:24:00,323 --> 00:24:02,657
they bring to the effort as

712
00:24:02,657 --> 00:24:04,657
well.

713
00:24:05,226 --> 00:24:07,960
It's my expectations that

714
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960
departments are at the table

715
00:24:10,399 --> 00:24:13,302
with the ceo and jcit to speak

716
00:24:13,302 --> 00:24:16,305
to what is possible, what is

717
00:24:16,305 --> 00:24:18,107
most care-centered, and what

718
00:24:18,107 --> 00:24:20,243
is needed to continue to move

719
00:24:20,243 --> 00:24:21,710
jail closure forward while

720
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:24,710
centering the health of those

721
00:24:25,181 --> 00:24:26,449
in mcj.

722
00:24:26,449 --> 00:24:27,216
I look forward to the

723
00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:28,384
conversation, at this point I

724
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:28,950
have a couple of questions.

725
00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:30,253
>> sup hilda solis, chair:

726
00:24:30,253 --> 00:24:30,853
sure.

727
00:24:30,853 --> 00:24:32,540
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: to

728
00:24:32,540 --> 00:24:34,900
get the conversation started.

729
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:35,390
And I welcome hearing from my

730
00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:36,926
colleagues as well.

731
00:24:36,926 --> 00:24:39,162
To the departments of mental

732
00:24:39,162 --> 00:24:41,162
health, correctional health

733
00:24:43,990 --> 00:24:44,633
services and dhs/odr.

734
00:24:44,633 --> 00:24:45,401
Jcit has identified where we

735
00:24:45,401 --> 00:24:46,603
need additional strategies and

736
00:24:46,603 --> 00:24:48,603
expertise.

737
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,174
From our don't's perspective

738
00:24:51,174 --> 00:24:52,475
where do you see your

739
00:24:52,475 --> 00:24:54,475
responsibility for driving

740
00:24:58,448 --> 00:24:59,348
solutions for jail closure?

741
00:24:59,348 --> 00:25:01,348
Mental health, correctional

742
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:04,252
health, odr?

743
00:25:05,154 --> 00:25:07,554
>> department speaker: I can

744
00:25:13,162 --> 00:25:15,562
speak for correctional health.

745
00:25:16,499 --> 00:25:17,801
Ds the current care at the

746
00:25:17,801 --> 00:25:19,235
jail and for years we've been

747
00:25:19,235 --> 00:25:19,736
doing this under the umbrella

748
00:25:19,736 --> 00:25:22,136
of department of health

749
00:25:38,288 --> 00:25:39,890
services.

750
00:25:39,890 --> 00:25:41,489
Too understand the patient

751
00:25:41,624 --> 00:25:43,360
population and special needs.

752
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:45,620
One of our biggest roles as

753
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:47,397
correctional health is helping

754
00:25:47,397 --> 00:25:48,599
people understand who is in

755
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:50,167
the jail, what their

756
00:25:50,167 --> 00:25:51,301
healthcare concerns are, what

757
00:25:51,301 --> 00:25:53,701
their mental health concerns

758
00:25:54,604 --> 00:25:55,339
are, and assisting in

759
00:25:55,339 --> 00:25:57,739
identifying ways that they

760
00:25:57,974 --> 00:25:58,942
could potentially no longer be

761
00:25:58,942 --> 00:26:00,677
incarcerated or a path out of

762
00:26:00,677 --> 00:26:02,450
the jail.

763
00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:03,130
We welcome all of our partners

764
00:26:03,130 --> 00:26:05,413
regularly into the jail.

765
00:26:05,482 --> 00:26:06,949
We share data.

766
00:26:06,949 --> 00:26:09,253
That's a big role that we have

767
00:26:09,253 --> 00:26:10,287
in correctional health is

768
00:26:10,287 --> 00:26:11,655
putting together and help ing

769
00:26:11,655 --> 00:26:13,323
ing

770
00:26:13,323 --> 00:26:14,491
understand not just the

771
00:26:14,491 --> 00:26:16,193
specific patients that we deal

772
00:26:16,193 --> 00:26:17,994
with, but the aggregate of our

773
00:26:17,994 --> 00:26:19,994
population.

774
00:26:20,264 --> 00:26:22,933
Again if we're looking to

775
00:26:22,933 --> 00:26:24,168
close a jail, we're looking to

776
00:26:24,168 --> 00:26:26,568
remove thousands of people

777
00:26:26,904 --> 00:26:28,380
from our care.

778
00:26:28,380 --> 00:26:29,720
Correctional health's role is

779
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,720
to help understand what that

780
00:26:32,476 --> 00:26:33,177
population looks like.

781
00:26:33,177 --> 00:26:35,780
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: so

782
00:26:35,780 --> 00:26:37,815
you don't see that your

783
00:26:37,815 --> 00:26:40,215
department has any specific

784
00:26:41,685 --> 00:26:42,252
role or responsibility to high

785
00:26:42,252 --> 00:26:43,654
pressure drive solutions to

786
00:26:43,654 --> 00:26:44,522
closure?

787
00:26:44,522 --> 00:26:45,555
>> department speaker:

788
00:26:45,555 --> 00:26:47,525
providing that information and

789
00:26:47,525 --> 00:26:48,225
that data is the first step to

790
00:26:48,225 --> 00:26:50,625
driving the solutions to

791
00:26:54,865 --> 00:26:56,467
closure.

792
00:26:56,467 --> 00:26:57,668
We have to identify who is

793
00:26:57,668 --> 00:27:01,268
there, and that drives -- that

794
00:27:05,476 --> 00:27:06,710
does drive closure.

795
00:27:06,710 --> 00:27:08,946
We have over 100 individuals

796
00:27:08,946 --> 00:27:11,182
on a daily basis working with

797
00:27:11,182 --> 00:27:12,949
our county partners and our

798
00:27:12,949 --> 00:27:15,349
contracted county partners to

799
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,788
identify where individuals go.

800
00:27:17,788 --> 00:27:18,689
Is that has been going on for

801
00:27:18,689 --> 00:27:19,524
years, regardless of whether

802
00:27:19,524 --> 00:27:21,292
or not we were trying to close

803
00:27:21,292 --> 00:27:23,292
the jail.

804
00:27:23,728 --> 00:27:26,970
That's a huge role that we

805
00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:27,230
play in correctional health in

806
00:27:27,230 --> 00:27:29,230
providing that reentry

807
00:27:30,568 --> 00:27:32,403
planning services, that relief

808
00:27:32,403 --> 00:27:33,300
planning service as well.

809
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:35,390
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: do

810
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:38,443
you play any role in helping

811
00:27:38,443 --> 00:27:40,843
to support buildout, provide

812
00:27:41,179 --> 00:27:43,181
data to those external

813
00:27:43,181 --> 00:27:44,315
entities, and placements?

814
00:27:44,315 --> 00:27:45,650
Is any role you play in

815
00:27:45,650 --> 00:27:46,784
supporting them?

816
00:27:46,784 --> 00:27:48,720
Or expanding their capacity or

817
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,188
numbers?

818
00:27:50,188 --> 00:27:52,189
>> department speaker: sure, I

819
00:27:52,189 --> 00:27:54,492
know DR. Hong will speak about

820
00:27:54,492 --> 00:27:56,193
this with odr, we provide odr

821
00:27:56,193 --> 00:27:58,963
a good amount of data.

822
00:27:58,963 --> 00:28:01,310
Because they are one of the

823
00:28:01,310 --> 00:28:02,400
main done you a its for our

824
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,502
patients upon release, or in

825
00:28:04,502 --> 00:28:06,638
order to be released.

826
00:28:06,638 --> 00:28:08,806
We play a large role there and

827
00:28:08,806 --> 00:28:09,307
building out, advocating for

828
00:28:09,307 --> 00:28:11,307
expansion of community

829
00:28:12,811 --> 00:28:14,679
programs.

830
00:28:14,679 --> 00:28:15,814
>> department speaker: I'm

831
00:28:15,814 --> 00:28:17,148
clemens heinz, office of

832
00:28:17,148 --> 00:28:18,249
reentry, thank you for having

833
00:28:18,249 --> 00:28:20,249
us.

834
00:28:20,351 --> 00:28:21,319
I will add one piece to the

835
00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:23,319
correctional health services,

836
00:28:23,588 --> 00:28:25,490
we worked in whole-person care

837
00:28:25,490 --> 00:28:27,859
and the subsequent waiver to

838
00:28:27,859 --> 00:28:28,559
really get into place medicaid

839
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:29,928
funding for rerelease

840
00:28:29,928 --> 00:28:31,928
services.

841
00:28:32,597 --> 00:28:33,731
California was the first state

842
00:28:33,731 --> 00:28:34,666
in the country to sign this

843
00:28:34,666 --> 00:28:37,660
waiver with the federal

844
00:28:37,969 --> 00:28:38,603
government to provide services

845
00:28:38,603 --> 00:28:40,671
prerelease, what some call the

846
00:28:40,671 --> 00:28:41,606
inmate exemption.

847
00:28:41,606 --> 00:28:44,876
This took a while for us to

848
00:28:44,876 --> 00:28:46,876
get into place.

849
00:28:47,912 --> 00:28:50,649
That launched in the jails.

850
00:28:50,649 --> 00:28:51,249
Tim can speak on that, he

851
00:28:51,249 --> 00:28:52,451
launched it in JULY in phase

852
00:28:52,451 --> 00:28:54,190
1.

853
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:54,586
But it is a critical piece and

854
00:28:54,586 --> 00:28:56,254
he spoke about the 100 case

855
00:28:56,254 --> 00:28:58,254
managers.

856
00:28:58,624 --> 00:28:59,558
This is a piece that would

857
00:28:59,558 --> 00:29:02,393
likely grow if the waiver is

858
00:29:02,393 --> 00:29:03,795
expended.

859
00:29:03,795 --> 00:29:06,795
We're in that period renewing

860
00:29:12,938 --> 00:29:13,539
our waivers.

861
00:29:13,539 --> 00:29:14,506
To stabilize people as much as

862
00:29:14,506 --> 00:29:16,506
possible.

863
00:29:16,775 --> 00:29:18,143
Once they are ready to go to

864
00:29:18,143 --> 00:29:20,746
the community we're doing a

865
00:29:20,746 --> 00:29:22,414
warm handoff to people in the

866
00:29:22,414 --> 00:29:23,315
community, I especially mental

867
00:29:23,315 --> 00:29:25,315
health providers, substance

868
00:29:26,718 --> 00:29:27,319
abuse providers, primary care,

869
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:29,154
enhanced care managers that

870
00:29:29,154 --> 00:29:32,154
can connect people to housing

871
00:29:32,524 --> 00:29:35,524
that are critical for people

872
00:29:35,828 --> 00:29:36,228
to re-enter safely and remain

873
00:29:36,228 --> 00:29:37,729
in the community.

874
00:29:37,729 --> 00:29:38,297
Not go through the continuous

875
00:29:38,297 --> 00:29:41,297
psych that will lands them

876
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:43,469
incarcerated.

877
00:29:43,469 --> 00:29:44,203
Often due to health conditions

878
00:29:44,203 --> 00:29:47,500
and other things that play a

879
00:29:47,500 --> 00:29:48,941
role.

880
00:29:48,941 --> 00:29:50,442
Independent of odr, it's work

881
00:29:50,442 --> 00:29:51,410
we've been involved in, the

882
00:29:51,410 --> 00:29:54,546
state level work and trying to

883
00:29:54,546 --> 00:29:56,949
get this on the ground.

884
00:29:56,949 --> 00:30:00,286
It just started in JULY with

885
00:30:00,286 --> 00:30:02,686
the p2 population, intensive

886
00:30:03,455 --> 00:30:03,956
outpatient level of care and

887
00:30:03,956 --> 00:30:04,523
will expand from there.

888
00:30:04,523 --> 00:30:05,910
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

889
00:30:05,910 --> 00:30:07,920
this is a waiver that the

890
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,260
state is lead on and has

891
00:30:08,260 --> 00:30:09,862
already applied to be reupped

892
00:30:09,862 --> 00:30:11,430
if you will?

893
00:30:11,430 --> 00:30:12,431
>> department speaker: yes, I

894
00:30:12,431 --> 00:30:13,933
don't know how many are

895
00:30:13,933 --> 00:30:15,701
enrolled but the first state

896
00:30:15,701 --> 00:30:17,636
in the country to sign it

897
00:30:17,636 --> 00:30:18,905
about 4 years ago I believe.

898
00:30:18,905 --> 00:30:20,373
They've been rolling it out

899
00:30:20,373 --> 00:30:23,373
across the state to implement

900
00:30:23,475 --> 00:30:24,443
across all counties including

901
00:30:24,443 --> 00:30:25,511
l.A. County, starting in JULY

902
00:30:25,511 --> 00:30:27,130
of this year.

903
00:30:27,130 --> 00:30:29,314
It needs to be renewed.

904
00:30:29,314 --> 00:30:29,816
Part of the 1115 waiver

905
00:30:29,816 --> 00:30:32,216
construct, needs to be

906
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:34,120
renewed.

907
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,540
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: I

908
00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:36,889
appreciate you piggybacking on

909
00:30:36,889 --> 00:30:38,889
health services.

910
00:30:39,525 --> 00:30:40,693
Can you talk from odr

911
00:30:40,693 --> 00:30:41,994
perspective what your

912
00:30:41,994 --> 00:30:44,394
responsibility is for driving

913
00:30:44,797 --> 00:30:45,398
solutions for jail closure.

914
00:30:45,398 --> 00:30:47,398
>> department speaker: happy

915
00:30:48,101 --> 00:30:48,668
to do so.

916
00:30:48,668 --> 00:30:49,836
Odr, I'll talk about three

917
00:30:49,836 --> 00:30:51,700
programs briefly.

918
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:52,538
The first is what we call a

919
00:30:52,538 --> 00:30:54,538
community diversion program.

920
00:30:55,740 --> 00:30:58,740
I think really critical part,

921
00:30:58,770 --> 00:31:00,246
as was said, reducing inflow.

922
00:31:00,246 --> 00:31:02,749
There's two critical ways to

923
00:31:02,749 --> 00:31:03,750
reduce inflow.

924
00:31:03,750 --> 00:31:05,451
Reside reside vism.

925
00:31:05,451 --> 00:31:07,953
The second is avoid them being

926
00:31:07,953 --> 00:31:09,955
arrested and put in jam in the

927
00:31:09,955 --> 00:31:11,570
first place.

928
00:31:11,570 --> 00:31:12,459
Lead is a community diversion

929
00:31:12,459 --> 00:31:14,270
program where we partner with

930
00:31:14,270 --> 00:31:16,595
law enforcement and also take

931
00:31:16,595 --> 00:31:17,630
community referrals.

932
00:31:17,630 --> 00:31:19,431
For people who have just

933
00:31:19,431 --> 00:31:20,833
frequent arrests, frequent

934
00:31:20,833 --> 00:31:21,670
touches with the justice

935
00:31:21,670 --> 00:31:22,735
system.

936
00:31:22,735 --> 00:31:24,700
What we try to do is try to

937
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:26,573
engage them in the community,

938
00:31:26,573 --> 00:31:27,941
give them housing and

939
00:31:27,941 --> 00:31:29,208
integrated care management and

940
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:30,610
link them to healthcare.

941
00:31:30,610 --> 00:31:31,770
By doing so, we try to

942
00:31:31,770 --> 00:31:32,579
stabilize them in the

943
00:31:32,579 --> 00:31:33,479
community.

944
00:31:33,479 --> 00:31:35,382
Avert the arrest at the front

945
00:31:35,382 --> 00:31:35,982
door.

946
00:31:35,982 --> 00:31:37,951
They don't even hit the front

947
00:31:37,951 --> 00:31:39,951
door.

948
00:31:40,253 --> 00:31:41,654
This program is like one data

949
00:31:41,654 --> 00:31:43,256
point, reduce felony arrest by

950
00:31:43,256 --> 00:31:45,256
five-fold.

951
00:31:45,625 --> 00:31:45,959
people compared to comparison

952
00:31:45,959 --> 00:31:47,260
group.

953
00:31:47,260 --> 00:31:47,794
That's one program where we

954
00:31:47,794 --> 00:31:48,828
reduce the infly into the

955
00:31:48,828 --> 00:31:50,828
jails.

956
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:53,431
The other -- inflow.

957
00:31:53,533 --> 00:31:55,802
The other are jail based

958
00:31:55,802 --> 00:31:56,436
diversion program, felony

959
00:31:56,436 --> 00:31:58,472
incompetent evens program, we

960
00:31:58,472 --> 00:31:59,710
partner with the state.

961
00:31:59,710 --> 00:32:00,973
Department of state hospitals

962
00:32:00,973 --> 00:32:02,209
funds this program.

963
00:32:02,209 --> 00:32:04,440
We take individuals that would

964
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,145
have gone to the department of

965
00:32:05,145 --> 00:32:05,979
state hospitals and we do

966
00:32:05,979 --> 00:32:06,446
something called community

967
00:32:06,446 --> 00:32:07,914
based restoration or

968
00:32:07,914 --> 00:32:09,883
diversion.

969
00:32:09,883 --> 00:32:10,451
Instead of sending them to the

970
00:32:10,451 --> 00:32:12,520
state hospitals where they

971
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,519
will be restored to competency

972
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:15,155
and come back to their trials

973
00:32:15,155 --> 00:32:15,923
or be released sometimes to

974
00:32:15,923 --> 00:32:18,323
the community without the

975
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,428
types of connections that odr

976
00:32:21,428 --> 00:32:23,297
provides, this enables is to

977
00:32:23,297 --> 00:32:26,297
get them out right away.

978
00:32:28,135 --> 00:32:30,204
They get the type of housing,

979
00:32:30,204 --> 00:32:31,538
integrated mental health

980
00:32:31,538 --> 00:32:33,240
treatment, substance abuse

981
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,741
treatment, that odr provides

982
00:32:34,741 --> 00:32:36,410
in these settings.

983
00:32:36,410 --> 00:32:37,678
In the house, provide care in

984
00:32:37,678 --> 00:32:40,678
the house, have care managers

985
00:32:40,881 --> 00:32:41,915
to keep them housed.

986
00:32:41,915 --> 00:32:43,916
That model had -- has been

987
00:32:43,916 --> 00:32:45,151
successful.

988
00:32:45,151 --> 00:32:47,154
A model for the rest of the

989
00:32:47,154 --> 00:32:49,154
state.

990
00:32:51,692 --> 00:32:54,692
People who enter this program,

991
00:32:55,290 --> 00:32:57,164
the fist program, 70% don't go

992
00:32:57,164 --> 00:32:59,133
back.

993
00:32:59,133 --> 00:33:02,369
For whoa who go to the state

994
00:33:02,369 --> 00:33:04,369
hospital, 70% go back.

995
00:33:04,805 --> 00:33:06,374
Odr is having removing this

996
00:33:06,374 --> 00:33:08,374
population that's incompetent

997
00:33:10,211 --> 00:33:12,460
to stand trial.

998
00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:15,460
When they start, we remove

999
00:33:15,182 --> 00:33:17,184
them from the jail pathway for

1000
00:33:17,184 --> 00:33:18,653
a period of two years.

1001
00:33:18,653 --> 00:33:20,688
then get them permanently

1002
00:33:20,688 --> 00:33:21,555
housed and we do some of that.

1003
00:33:21,555 --> 00:33:22,756
The third program that is

1004
00:33:22,756 --> 00:33:25,125
critical and program is the

1005
00:33:25,125 --> 00:33:26,427
odr housing program.

1006
00:33:26,427 --> 00:33:28,329
This is a program that was

1007
00:33:28,329 --> 00:33:30,631
started here, has been

1008
00:33:30,631 --> 00:33:32,631
immensely successful in

1009
00:33:33,330 --> 00:33:33,534
diverting individuals with

1010
00:33:33,534 --> 00:33:34,802
serious mental illness

1011
00:33:34,802 --> 00:33:36,802
experiencing homelessness.

1012
00:33:37,905 --> 00:33:39,574
This is at risk for shrinking.

1013
00:33:39,574 --> 00:33:41,420
In OCTOBER of this year, if we

1014
00:33:41,420 --> 00:33:42,876
are eye not able to expand

1015
00:33:42,876 --> 00:33:44,579
funding to the program, this

1016
00:33:44,579 --> 00:33:47,114
is funding that was put

1017
00:33:47,114 --> 00:33:48,750
forward in unmet needs.

1018
00:33:48,750 --> 00:33:50,218
Is a little outside of the

1019
00:33:50,218 --> 00:33:51,686
scope of what was approved by

1020
00:33:51,686 --> 00:33:53,888
the board two weeks ago.

1021
00:33:53,888 --> 00:33:55,123
The odr housing program will

1022
00:33:55,123 --> 00:33:57,658
start to reduce the number

1023
00:33:57,658 --> 00:33:58,192
we're able to serve from 120

1024
00:33:58,192 --> 00:33:59,627
per month to about 60 per

1025
00:33:59,627 --> 00:34:01,627
month.

1026
00:34:01,829 --> 00:34:03,164
However if we're able to

1027
00:34:03,164 --> 00:34:05,700
maintain it at the 120 a

1028
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:08,100
month, we remove about 2,500

1029
00:34:08,403 --> 00:34:09,837
peep am year with -- people a

1030
00:34:09,837 --> 00:34:12,237
year who are spencing

1031
00:34:12,307 --> 00:34:13,174
homelessness and some of the

1032
00:34:13,174 --> 00:34:15,343
sickest in the jails.

1033
00:34:15,343 --> 00:34:16,444
P3 and p4 populations.

1034
00:34:16,444 --> 00:34:19,800
People come in the sickest,

1035
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,282
remove them to the community.

1036
00:34:21,282 --> 00:34:22,116
When we do that, 54% never go

1037
00:34:22,116 --> 00:34:23,785
to jail.

1038
00:34:23,785 --> 00:34:25,785
Multiple years.

1039
00:34:27,188 --> 00:34:27,755
This is a population with 10

1040
00:34:27,755 --> 00:34:29,524
incarcerations before odr

1041
00:34:29,524 --> 00:34:31,924
starts working with them.

1042
00:34:40,735 --> 00:34:41,336
We're changing the trajectory.

1043
00:34:41,336 --> 00:34:41,770
We have done analysis looking

1044
00:34:41,770 --> 00:34:43,104
at two years prior.

1045
00:34:43,104 --> 00:34:43,637
Times that they spent in jail

1046
00:34:43,637 --> 00:34:44,706
compared to the two years

1047
00:34:44,706 --> 00:34:46,706
prior.

1048
00:34:47,108 --> 00:34:50,440
So if you think about closure

1049
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,581
of jail beds, removing people

1050
00:34:52,581 --> 00:34:53,949
who are really in the

1051
00:34:53,949 --> 00:34:55,516
population, gifl them housing,

1052
00:34:55,516 --> 00:34:56,384
getting them into care and

1053
00:34:56,384 --> 00:34:57,819
removing them from that

1054
00:34:57,819 --> 00:34:59,754
pathway to the tune of 380,000

1055
00:34:59,754 --> 00:35:01,623
fewer days.

1056
00:35:01,623 --> 00:35:01,857
Just that two-year time

1057
00:35:01,857 --> 00:35:03,758
period.

1058
00:35:03,758 --> 00:35:05,260
When you extrapolate that

1059
00:35:05,260 --> 00:35:06,494
forward we don't know what the

1060
00:35:06,494 --> 00:35:07,295
impact could be in terms of

1061
00:35:07,295 --> 00:35:09,164
completely removing peep from

1062
00:35:09,164 --> 00:35:09,698
that structure.

1063
00:35:09,698 --> 00:35:10,765
It is a hugely impactful

1064
00:35:10,765 --> 00:35:12,765
program.

1065
00:35:12,967 --> 00:35:14,135
These are the types of

1066
00:35:14,135 --> 00:35:16,504
programs that operate that

1067
00:35:16,504 --> 00:35:17,873
help to remove, and we're

1068
00:35:17,873 --> 00:35:20,142
seeing the growing population

1069
00:35:20,142 --> 00:35:21,643
with serious mental illness in

1070
00:35:21,643 --> 00:35:23,643
the jails.

1071
00:35:24,780 --> 00:35:26,348
But odr can move them to the

1072
00:35:26,348 --> 00:35:27,483
community and serve them,

1073
00:35:27,483 --> 00:35:28,250
probably the biggest role to

1074
00:35:28,250 --> 00:35:29,551
play in the closure of men's

1075
00:35:29,551 --> 00:35:31,551
central jail.

1076
00:35:31,553 --> 00:35:33,789
We serve people outside of dmh

1077
00:35:33,789 --> 00:35:35,858
who can do this.

1078
00:35:35,858 --> 00:35:36,458
We're a program that's doing

1079
00:35:36,458 --> 00:35:37,126
this in partnership with the

1080
00:35:37,126 --> 00:35:37,793
courts.

1081
00:35:37,793 --> 00:35:38,861
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: I

1082
00:35:38,861 --> 00:35:41,861
appreciate that and just want

1083
00:35:44,166 --> 00:35:46,268
to make sure I heard you.

1084
00:35:46,268 --> 00:35:47,835
Based on your current funding

1085
00:35:47,835 --> 00:35:50,235
level, you extrapolated that

1086
00:35:50,773 --> 00:35:52,208
you remove about 2,500

1087
00:35:52,208 --> 00:35:53,275
annually and about half that

1088
00:35:53,275 --> 00:35:54,876
number, I think you said 54%,

1089
00:35:54,876 --> 00:35:55,444
don't return.

1090
00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:56,912
>> department speaker: they

1091
00:35:56,912 --> 00:35:59,214
don't go back at all.

1092
00:35:59,214 --> 00:36:00,915
With an average of 10 prior to

1093
00:36:00,915 --> 00:36:01,484
coming to odr.

1094
00:36:01,484 --> 00:36:02,852
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1095
00:36:02,852 --> 00:36:05,587
through the unmet needs letter

1096
00:36:05,587 --> 00:36:06,889
in the budget on process, if

1097
00:36:06,889 --> 00:36:09,124
your needs aren't met you will

1098
00:36:09,124 --> 00:36:09,299
have to half of who you serve

1099
00:36:09,299 --> 00:36:10,893
now.

1100
00:36:10,893 --> 00:36:12,261
You're serving 120, drops to

1101
00:36:12,261 --> 00:36:13,395
around 60?

1102
00:36:13,395 --> 00:36:15,395
>> department speaker: 60 per

1103
00:36:15,464 --> 00:36:15,998
year and that's leveraging

1104
00:36:15,998 --> 00:36:17,467
existing beds across the

1105
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:18,660
programs.

1106
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:18,467
>> sup hilda solis, chair: can

1107
00:36:18,467 --> 00:36:19,340
I ask a question?

1108
00:36:19,340 --> 00:36:20,536
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1109
00:36:20,536 --> 00:36:21,170
sure.

1110
00:36:21,170 --> 00:36:23,238
>> sup hilda solis, chair: to

1111
00:36:23,238 --> 00:36:24,307
follow up, this is intriguing.

1112
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:26,175
Where does your funding come

1113
00:36:26,175 --> 00:36:27,676
for this program?

1114
00:36:27,676 --> 00:36:29,645
>> department speaker: odr

1115
00:36:29,645 --> 00:36:31,881
housing is funded through

1116
00:36:31,881 --> 00:36:34,281
ab109 dollars, care first

1117
00:36:34,517 --> 00:36:36,517
community involvement funds.

1118
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:37,853
That's currently how it is

1119
00:36:37,853 --> 00:36:39,154
funded through state and local

1120
00:36:39,154 --> 00:36:39,755
funds.

1121
00:36:39,755 --> 00:36:42,491
>> sup hilda solis, chair: but

1122
00:36:42,491 --> 00:36:43,526
we haven't seen any cutback in

1123
00:36:43,526 --> 00:36:44,600
ab-109, correct?

1124
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,600
>> department speaker: we

1125
00:36:46,162 --> 00:36:47,663
haven't.

1126
00:36:47,663 --> 00:36:49,165
The program currently with the

1127
00:36:49,165 --> 00:36:50,199
number of beds that we have

1128
00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:51,934
and the number of slots is

1129
00:36:51,934 --> 00:36:53,503
sustained.

1130
00:36:53,503 --> 00:36:54,703
We don't have a fiscal cliff

1131
00:36:54,703 --> 00:36:55,271
where we have to close the

1132
00:36:55,271 --> 00:36:57,574
beds without changes in the

1133
00:36:57,574 --> 00:36:58,841
direction of that.

1134
00:36:58,841 --> 00:37:01,311
Where we face the trouble is

1135
00:37:01,311 --> 00:37:02,611
we need to continue to expand

1136
00:37:02,611 --> 00:37:04,981
the beds to continue to serve

1137
00:37:04,981 --> 00:37:07,381
more and more people.

1138
00:37:11,788 --> 00:37:12,355
What functionally happens --

1139
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:13,656
no longer removed from the

1140
00:37:13,656 --> 00:37:15,224
jails.

1141
00:37:15,224 --> 00:37:16,259
We can use the existing beds,

1142
00:37:16,259 --> 00:37:17,527
people graduate, they move on

1143
00:37:17,527 --> 00:37:19,527
to family.

1144
00:37:20,290 --> 00:37:21,331
And there's some turnover.

1145
00:37:21,331 --> 00:37:21,898
We can use those beds to

1146
00:37:21,898 --> 00:37:22,966
continue to move 60 people

1147
00:37:22,966 --> 00:37:24,966
out.

1148
00:37:25,635 --> 00:37:27,904
But we lose the capacity to --

1149
00:37:27,904 --> 00:37:28,338
the growth that's needed to

1150
00:37:28,338 --> 00:37:28,905
serve the other 60.

1151
00:37:28,905 --> 00:37:30,839
>> sup hilda solis, chair:

1152
00:37:30,839 --> 00:37:34,276
maybe the question is for our

1153
00:37:34,276 --> 00:37:35,312
ceo, can you help us figure

1154
00:37:35,312 --> 00:37:38,381
out why this gap exists and

1155
00:37:38,381 --> 00:37:40,781
give us some background.

1156
00:37:40,850 --> 00:37:43,386
I'm hearing some good figures

1157
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:45,355
here if they are correct.

1158
00:37:45,355 --> 00:37:48,324
Seems to me we're going in the

1159
00:37:48,324 --> 00:37:50,159
wrong direction.

1160
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:52,262
I want to know more background

1161
00:37:52,262 --> 00:37:54,698
on why the unmet needs went

1162
00:37:54,698 --> 00:37:56,698
down that trail.

1163
00:38:01,104 --> 00:38:03,504
>> ceo: acknowledging the odr,

1164
00:38:05,174 --> 00:38:07,574
odr figures prominently into

1165
00:38:08,612 --> 00:38:09,146
jcit required seven actions,

1166
00:38:09,146 --> 00:38:11,114
occupying 3 or 4 of those.

1167
00:38:11,114 --> 00:38:11,714
We have invested a lot in odr.

1168
00:38:11,714 --> 00:38:14,114
Unfortunately because of the

1169
00:38:14,184 --> 00:38:16,420
cost of the program it is

1170
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:18,789
costly, we have done some --

1171
00:38:18,789 --> 00:38:20,324
we have invested someone-time

1172
00:38:20,324 --> 00:38:21,992
money that didn't facilitate

1173
00:38:21,992 --> 00:38:22,593
ongoing expansion, we have

1174
00:38:22,593 --> 00:38:24,428
been creative in leveraging

1175
00:38:24,428 --> 00:38:26,428
funding sources.

1176
00:38:27,698 --> 00:38:29,466
MISS Carter and I had a recent

1177
00:38:29,466 --> 00:38:30,467
conversation about my

1178
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:33,170
consternation over the cost of

1179
00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:37,308
the program and how we can get

1180
00:38:37,308 --> 00:38:39,376
to a sustainable funding model

1181
00:38:39,376 --> 00:38:40,711
on odr.

1182
00:38:40,711 --> 00:38:42,379
I'd ask MS. Carter to expand

1183
00:38:42,379 --> 00:38:45,615
on what is invested and what

1184
00:38:45,615 --> 00:38:46,350
we look for for the future.

1185
00:38:46,350 --> 00:38:48,350
>> department speaker: good

1186
00:38:49,530 --> 00:38:51,453
morning, maggie carter, chief

1187
00:38:52,689 --> 00:38:53,324
of strategic initiatives for

1188
00:38:53,324 --> 00:38:54,725
ceo and chief compliance

1189
00:38:54,725 --> 00:38:56,725
officer.

1190
00:38:58,829 --> 00:38:59,530
As our ceo mentioned, odr is

1191
00:38:59,530 --> 00:39:01,530
critically important program

1192
00:39:02,833 --> 00:39:05,235
for jail closure and doj

1193
00:39:05,235 --> 00:39:07,338
compliance, as DR. Hong

1194
00:39:07,338 --> 00:39:09,907
explained, odr is really very

1195
00:39:09,907 --> 00:39:10,474
focused on serving some of our

1196
00:39:10,474 --> 00:39:12,776
sickest individuals in the

1197
00:39:12,776 --> 00:39:14,776
jail at scale.

1198
00:39:14,779 --> 00:39:18,150
Because it is a high cost,

1199
00:39:18,150 --> 00:39:20,510
high touch program that really

1200
00:39:20,510 --> 00:39:22,451
carries people through for

1201
00:39:22,587 --> 00:39:25,755
quite a long time, to follow

1202
00:39:25,755 --> 00:39:27,792
them on their journey to

1203
00:39:27,792 --> 00:39:28,826
stability and to provide

1204
00:39:28,826 --> 00:39:30,360
different levels of support

1205
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,331
over time there's not a lot of

1206
00:39:33,331 --> 00:39:35,731
turnover in the program.

1207
00:39:36,399 --> 00:39:38,835
That is the issue with why the

1208
00:39:38,835 --> 00:39:39,704
program needs to stay

1209
00:39:39,704 --> 00:39:40,271
constant, how many new

1210
00:39:40,271 --> 00:39:41,438
individuals come out of the

1211
00:39:41,438 --> 00:39:43,438
jail.

1212
00:39:43,874 --> 00:39:46,274
We're deeply engaged with

1213
00:39:46,810 --> 00:39:48,145
DR. Hong to both look at every

1214
00:39:48,145 --> 00:39:50,881
possible source of funding for

1215
00:39:50,881 --> 00:39:52,417
the program to try and draw

1216
00:39:52,417 --> 00:39:54,819
down more medicaid dollars for

1217
00:39:54,819 --> 00:39:57,819
the program, and there's been

1218
00:39:58,289 --> 00:40:01,158
a lot of progress made just

1219
00:40:01,158 --> 00:40:03,160
recently between dhs and dmh

1220
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,640
on how to do some of that

1221
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,464
billing that's very exciting.

1222
00:40:09,167 --> 00:40:11,503
I think the result of a lot

1223
00:40:11,503 --> 00:40:12,303
of -- a long time of those two

1224
00:40:12,303 --> 00:40:14,303
departments working together

1225
00:40:16,474 --> 00:40:19,311
to try to achieve that.

1226
00:40:19,311 --> 00:40:20,311
And also, odr is looking very

1227
00:40:20,311 --> 00:40:21,879
carefully at the program to

1228
00:40:21,879 --> 00:40:23,615
understand are there places

1229
00:40:23,615 --> 00:40:25,984
where we can cut costs.

1230
00:40:25,984 --> 00:40:27,285
To the program without

1231
00:40:27,285 --> 00:40:28,353
sacrificing the trust that

1232
00:40:28,353 --> 00:40:28,920
they have built in part

1233
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,556
because it is a high touch

1234
00:40:31,556 --> 00:40:32,156
program.

1235
00:40:32,156 --> 00:40:32,756
>> sup hilda solis, chair: I

1236
00:40:32,756 --> 00:40:34,225
guess that makes sense, the

1237
00:40:34,225 --> 00:40:35,493
funding.

1238
00:40:35,493 --> 00:40:36,961
I have heard over the years

1239
00:40:36,961 --> 00:40:37,662
that people tend to stay

1240
00:40:37,662 --> 00:40:39,731
longer than we can maybe

1241
00:40:39,731 --> 00:40:41,731
actually afford it.

1242
00:40:41,967 --> 00:40:43,301
But then the handoff from that

1243
00:40:43,301 --> 00:40:46,237
program needs to be extended,

1244
00:40:46,237 --> 00:40:47,472
I think, to some of our other

1245
00:40:47,472 --> 00:40:48,673
support systems that we are

1246
00:40:48,673 --> 00:40:50,108
now popping up and have been

1247
00:40:50,108 --> 00:40:52,476
over the last three years,

1248
00:40:52,476 --> 00:40:54,145
like jcod.

1249
00:40:54,145 --> 00:40:56,545
Curious, you know, what

1250
00:40:57,682 --> 00:40:59,517
connection if there exists one

1251
00:40:59,517 --> 00:41:00,352
between you and jcod.

1252
00:41:00,352 --> 00:41:03,952
How are you exercising on that

1253
00:41:05,156 --> 00:41:07,156
issue?

1254
00:41:12,965 --> 00:41:15,233
Maybe, you know --

1255
00:41:15,233 --> 00:41:15,868
>> chief executive officer: we

1256
00:41:15,868 --> 00:41:18,200
serve different populations as

1257
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,200
one answer.

1258
00:41:20,339 --> 00:41:21,740
We serve a very sick

1259
00:41:21,740 --> 00:41:23,308
population that has a high

1260
00:41:23,308 --> 00:41:25,109
level of clinical needs.

1261
00:41:25,109 --> 00:41:26,745
Not that jcod doesn't serve

1262
00:41:26,745 --> 00:41:28,745
those folks.

1263
00:41:28,814 --> 00:41:32,414
However there is a little bit

1264
00:41:33,419 --> 00:41:35,154
of a -- I would say like maybe

1265
00:41:35,154 --> 00:41:37,220
how would you put it.

1266
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:37,823
We serve a different

1267
00:41:37,823 --> 00:41:40,125
population the services that

1268
00:41:40,125 --> 00:41:40,459
we leverage in the

1269
00:41:40,459 --> 00:41:40,926
partnerships.

1270
00:41:40,926 --> 00:41:42,160
With dmh are a little

1271
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,160
different.

1272
00:41:45,564 --> 00:41:47,833
However we've been long at the

1273
00:41:47,833 --> 00:41:48,399
table together, the dollars

1274
00:41:48,399 --> 00:41:49,234
and collaborations where we

1275
00:41:49,234 --> 00:41:51,234
could.

1276
00:41:52,772 --> 00:41:53,339
I would start there.

1277
00:41:53,339 --> 00:41:54,839
>> sup hilda solis, chair:

1278
00:41:54,839 --> 00:41:56,709
yes, judge armstead?

1279
00:41:56,709 --> 00:41:58,644
>> judge armstead: thank you,

1280
00:41:58,644 --> 00:42:00,846
I agree with some of that.

1281
00:42:00,846 --> 00:42:02,381
We do serve a small number of

1282
00:42:02,381 --> 00:42:04,250
p1, p2 folks.

1283
00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:06,752
Not so many people in the p3

1284
00:42:06,752 --> 00:42:08,752
and p4 area.

1285
00:42:08,987 --> 00:42:11,257
I would say that jcod's focus

1286
00:42:11,257 --> 00:42:12,725
is for those folks that we can

1287
00:42:12,725 --> 00:42:13,250
stabilize and make fully

1288
00:42:13,250 --> 00:42:15,250
independent.

1289
00:42:16,620 --> 00:42:17,630
We are able to get a person

1290
00:42:17,630 --> 00:42:18,197
housed, employed, medicated,

1291
00:42:18,197 --> 00:42:19,632
stable so they can support

1292
00:42:19,632 --> 00:42:21,534
themselves.

1293
00:42:21,534 --> 00:42:23,703
Some of the pop you alation

1294
00:42:23,703 --> 00:42:24,904
that odr is dealing with are

1295
00:42:24,904 --> 00:42:25,905
folks who can't become

1296
00:42:25,905 --> 00:42:26,305
independent in the same

1297
00:42:26,305 --> 00:42:28,305
timeframe.

1298
00:42:28,941 --> 00:42:30,610
That's one of the differences.

1299
00:42:30,610 --> 00:42:32,911
Then also an individual can

1300
00:42:32,911 --> 00:42:33,945
move in and out of stability,

1301
00:42:33,945 --> 00:42:35,214
they can be stable and need

1302
00:42:35,214 --> 00:42:35,848
supports later.

1303
00:42:35,848 --> 00:42:37,850
That's when we lean on each

1304
00:42:37,850 --> 00:42:38,917
other.

1305
00:42:38,917 --> 00:42:40,253
With dmh also to tackle those

1306
00:42:40,253 --> 00:42:42,550
things.

1307
00:42:42,550 --> 00:42:43,522
Once a person is able to be

1308
00:42:43,522 --> 00:42:46,250
stable then we're more than

1309
00:42:46,250 --> 00:42:47,427
happy to get a person employed

1310
00:42:47,427 --> 00:42:49,128
and housed and moved forward.

1311
00:42:49,128 --> 00:42:50,896
When a person needs more

1312
00:42:50,896 --> 00:42:52,732
supports and services and we

1313
00:42:52,732 --> 00:42:53,299
lean on other health partners.

1314
00:42:53,299 --> 00:42:54,633
>> sup hilda solis, chair:

1315
00:42:54,633 --> 00:42:58,204
there's a missing link for me

1316
00:42:58,204 --> 00:43:00,940
from what I'm hearing, there

1317
00:43:00,940 --> 00:43:03,510
has to be more effort placed

1318
00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:07,110
once they are capable or able

1319
00:43:16,255 --> 00:43:16,823
to leave you, then find

1320
00:43:16,823 --> 00:43:17,524
another set of services at

1321
00:43:17,524 --> 00:43:17,757
mental health, department of

1322
00:43:17,757 --> 00:43:18,191
health.

1323
00:43:18,191 --> 00:43:20,591
The costs are high.

1324
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:21,827
But these people need sub

1325
00:43:21,827 --> 00:43:22,929
specialized, maybe stepdown

1326
00:43:22,929 --> 00:43:25,329
after though leave you.

1327
00:43:25,832 --> 00:43:26,366
Where is that target?

1328
00:43:26,366 --> 00:43:28,234
I guess maybe that's the

1329
00:43:28,234 --> 00:43:29,302
question.

1330
00:43:29,302 --> 00:43:31,171
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1331
00:43:31,171 --> 00:43:32,973
MADAM Chair, I would pose

1332
00:43:32,973 --> 00:43:35,973
perhaps a more global, broader

1333
00:43:36,750 --> 00:43:38,110
question to jcod, where do you

1334
00:43:38,110 --> 00:43:40,180
see your role and

1335
00:43:40,180 --> 00:43:42,149
opportunities to do more

1336
00:43:42,149 --> 00:43:43,550
across the board around jail

1337
00:43:43,550 --> 00:43:45,218
closure, not just the

1338
00:43:45,218 --> 00:43:47,618
population that ocr manages

1339
00:43:48,455 --> 00:43:49,560
but the entire jail

1340
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:49,756
population, what role do you

1341
00:43:49,756 --> 00:43:51,756
play?

1342
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:53,960
>> judge armstead: thank you.

1343
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,561
I would say that since we've

1344
00:43:55,561 --> 00:43:57,961
launched we've been steadily

1345
00:43:58,698 --> 00:43:59,299
building and a bunch of

1346
00:43:59,299 --> 00:44:00,800
different areas, our outcomes

1347
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,269
pretty strong.

1348
00:44:02,269 --> 00:44:04,938
The people that we have served

1349
00:44:04,938 --> 00:44:07,374
if you look at just sort of

1350
00:44:07,374 --> 00:44:08,750
our pretrial services, we see

1351
00:44:08,750 --> 00:44:11,110
that 91% of them return to

1352
00:44:11,110 --> 00:44:13,110
court.

1353
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:14,848
80% or more stay arrest-free.

1354
00:44:14,848 --> 00:44:16,616
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1355
00:44:16,616 --> 00:44:18,616
80%?

1356
00:44:18,886 --> 00:44:20,788
>> judge armstead: yes, stay

1357
00:44:20,788 --> 00:44:22,788
arrest-free.

1358
00:44:22,822 --> 00:44:23,857
As was mentioned earlier --

1359
00:44:23,857 --> 00:44:24,892
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: to

1360
00:44:24,892 --> 00:44:26,393
stay arrest-free means I'm not

1361
00:44:26,393 --> 00:44:28,393
in jail?

1362
00:44:29,330 --> 00:44:30,798
>> judge armstead: yes.

1363
00:44:30,798 --> 00:44:33,166
Recidivism as was mentioned

1364
00:44:33,166 --> 00:44:34,101
earlier, there's two ways to

1365
00:44:34,101 --> 00:44:35,669
keep a person out of jail.

1366
00:44:35,669 --> 00:44:37,571
One is not go there in the

1367
00:44:37,571 --> 00:44:39,720
first place, the other is to

1368
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:42,720
keep them from growing back.

1369
00:44:42,510 --> 00:44:43,110
Our focus is keeping them from

1370
00:44:43,110 --> 00:44:45,279
going back and pulling them

1371
00:44:45,279 --> 00:44:47,680
out as soon as possible.

1372
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:48,816
We are continuing -- for

1373
00:44:48,816 --> 00:44:49,416
instance our courthouse

1374
00:44:49,416 --> 00:44:51,318
navigation program is only at

1375
00:44:51,318 --> 00:44:53,318
three courts.

1376
00:44:53,421 --> 00:44:55,756
At airport, compton, and

1377
00:44:55,756 --> 00:44:57,424
lancaster.

1378
00:44:57,424 --> 00:44:58,659
We're plating people,

1379
00:44:58,659 --> 00:44:59,593
transporting people, don't we

1380
00:44:59,593 --> 00:45:00,861
don't have the resources to

1381
00:45:00,861 --> 00:45:02,861
expand.

1382
00:45:04,232 --> 00:45:05,165
I would say our rdp program is

1383
00:45:05,165 --> 00:45:06,834
working well as well, in eight

1384
00:45:06,834 --> 00:45:07,435
courthouses.

1385
00:45:07,435 --> 00:45:10,204
We don't have the capacity to

1386
00:45:10,204 --> 00:45:11,572
expand.

1387
00:45:11,572 --> 00:45:12,974
We have our transportation is

1388
00:45:12,974 --> 00:45:14,375
one of the things that the

1389
00:45:14,375 --> 00:45:17,345
courts love, that's the number

1390
00:45:17,345 --> 00:45:17,645
one way that people pick up

1391
00:45:17,645 --> 00:45:19,645
bench parks.

1392
00:45:19,747 --> 00:45:20,448
We are getting folks to court,

1393
00:45:20,448 --> 00:45:21,783
providing wrap-around services

1394
00:45:21,783 --> 00:45:23,351
for them.

1395
00:45:23,351 --> 00:45:26,421
We don't have the capacity to

1396
00:45:26,421 --> 00:45:28,421
expand.

1397
00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:30,358
Then also our stock program is

1398
00:45:30,358 --> 00:45:33,958
being used both for the courts

1399
00:45:34,195 --> 00:45:36,831
and by the jails as well.

1400
00:45:36,831 --> 00:45:39,831
Those numbers have been pretty

1401
00:45:40,334 --> 00:45:42,503
well as well, of the 60 people

1402
00:45:42,503 --> 00:45:44,500
the jail has placed in the

1403
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:45,874
program since they have

1404
00:45:45,874 --> 00:45:47,208
started it, only 4 have

1405
00:45:47,208 --> 00:45:47,742
absconded.

1406
00:45:47,742 --> 00:45:49,176
People are staying in the

1407
00:45:49,176 --> 00:45:50,277
program.

1408
00:45:50,277 --> 00:45:52,246
But we don't have the

1409
00:45:52,246 --> 00:45:52,447
capacity.

1410
00:45:52,447 --> 00:45:53,470
Into.

1411
00:45:53,470 --> 00:45:55,116
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: I

1412
00:45:55,116 --> 00:45:56,217
am clear, that no one has the

1413
00:45:56,217 --> 00:45:59,487
capacity to do all that you

1414
00:45:59,487 --> 00:46:00,721
want to do, that's a given.

1415
00:46:00,721 --> 00:46:01,890
The point of today's

1416
00:46:01,890 --> 00:46:02,790
conversation this motion is

1417
00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:03,258
to, if you have the

1418
00:46:03,258 --> 00:46:05,258
opportunity, to think

1419
00:46:05,927 --> 00:46:07,927
creatively.

1420
00:46:08,396 --> 00:46:09,531
And I'm clear about jcod's

1421
00:46:09,531 --> 00:46:10,632
pretrial role and it is

1422
00:46:10,632 --> 00:46:13,635
important to stem the tide of

1423
00:46:13,635 --> 00:46:15,971
people entering the system.

1424
00:46:15,971 --> 00:46:17,505
Do you see, put resources to

1425
00:46:17,505 --> 00:46:21,105
the side for a moment, that

1426
00:46:21,209 --> 00:46:22,277
there is a role jcod can play

1427
00:46:22,277 --> 00:46:23,778
beyond the pretrial services?

1428
00:46:23,778 --> 00:46:26,778
Is there an appropriate role

1429
00:46:28,682 --> 00:46:30,885
for jcod to stem the tide but

1430
00:46:30,885 --> 00:46:31,386
play a role in reduction,

1431
00:46:31,386 --> 00:46:33,521
those that are already

1432
00:46:33,521 --> 00:46:35,521
incarcerated?

1433
00:46:35,624 --> 00:46:37,920
>> judge armstead: yes, I see

1434
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,492
it in three places.

1435
00:46:39,494 --> 00:46:41,562
One of the places that we

1436
00:46:41,562 --> 00:46:42,964
could do more work is in the

1437
00:46:42,964 --> 00:46:44,666
jail in reach place, starting

1438
00:46:44,666 --> 00:46:46,340
with folks in custody, getting

1439
00:46:46,340 --> 00:46:46,902
stable, developing

1440
00:46:46,902 --> 00:46:48,470
relationships, starting the

1441
00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:49,710
case management to move them

1442
00:46:49,710 --> 00:46:50,305
through.

1443
00:46:50,305 --> 00:46:51,874
So we already have that

1444
00:46:51,874 --> 00:46:53,876
relationship built with them.

1445
00:46:53,876 --> 00:46:58,676
I don't think we do a good job

1446
00:47:01,316 --> 00:47:03,185
in serving women to be honest.

1447
00:47:03,185 --> 00:47:03,852
I think the women's jail, we

1448
00:47:03,852 --> 00:47:05,988
know about the levels of

1449
00:47:05,988 --> 00:47:07,922
trauma that exist there.

1450
00:47:07,922 --> 00:47:09,591
That's a place I would like us

1451
00:47:09,591 --> 00:47:11,460
to do better and to do more

1452
00:47:11,460 --> 00:47:13,460
work.

1453
00:47:14,463 --> 00:47:16,832
Then I think the other thing,

1454
00:47:16,832 --> 00:47:18,467
the number one way that people

1455
00:47:18,467 --> 00:47:19,168
forget to get a person from

1456
00:47:19,168 --> 00:47:21,300
going back to the system is

1457
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:22,504
employment and purpose.

1458
00:47:22,504 --> 00:47:23,972
We have seen really, really

1459
00:47:23,972 --> 00:47:26,642
good outcomes when we help a

1460
00:47:26,642 --> 00:47:28,210
person to be able to have the

1461
00:47:28,210 --> 00:47:30,445
supports they need and work

1462
00:47:30,445 --> 00:47:32,140
and to have a trade, a job,

1463
00:47:32,140 --> 00:47:32,982
education, something that

1464
00:47:32,982 --> 00:47:33,682
actually reminds them that

1465
00:47:33,682 --> 00:47:35,951
they have a purpose and things

1466
00:47:35,951 --> 00:47:37,285
to do well.

1467
00:47:37,285 --> 00:47:37,987
We have pretty good outcomes

1468
00:47:37,987 --> 00:47:39,455
but we can do more.

1469
00:47:39,455 --> 00:47:39,822
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: I

1470
00:47:39,822 --> 00:47:41,900
appreciate that.

1471
00:47:41,900 --> 00:47:43,259
That might be the kind of

1472
00:47:43,259 --> 00:47:44,427
connection you were talking

1473
00:47:44,427 --> 00:47:45,760
about, MADAM Chair, even

1474
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:47,529
though it might not be

1475
00:47:47,529 --> 00:47:49,929
directly with the unique

1476
00:47:50,990 --> 00:47:51,333
population that odr houses but

1477
00:47:51,333 --> 00:47:53,733
what role jcod plays.

1478
00:47:54,270 --> 00:47:57,172
If I can circle back to mental

1479
00:47:57,172 --> 00:47:59,641
health on my initial question,

1480
00:47:59,641 --> 00:48:00,642
in terms of where do you see

1481
00:48:00,642 --> 00:48:01,210
your responsibility for

1482
00:48:01,210 --> 00:48:03,610
driving solutions for jail

1483
00:48:03,713 --> 00:48:05,414
closure.

1484
00:48:05,414 --> 00:48:05,982
Good morning.

1485
00:48:05,982 --> 00:48:06,549
>> department speaker: good

1486
00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:09,549
morning, thank you for that

1487
00:48:09,619 --> 00:48:11,619
question.

1488
00:48:12,254 --> 00:48:12,855
I think that we have looked at

1489
00:48:12,855 --> 00:48:14,557
our efforts in being in four

1490
00:48:14,557 --> 00:48:16,459
areas.

1491
00:48:16,459 --> 00:48:18,427
One is looking at how we can

1492
00:48:18,427 --> 00:48:20,427
reduce inflow.

1493
00:48:21,397 --> 00:48:22,331
The next is really looking at

1494
00:48:22,331 --> 00:48:24,331
increasing opportunities for

1495
00:48:24,467 --> 00:48:27,602
diversion and places to go so

1496
00:48:27,602 --> 00:48:28,137
that diversion becomes a

1497
00:48:28,137 --> 00:48:29,672
realistic opportunity for

1498
00:48:29,672 --> 00:48:31,400
folks.

1499
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:32,441
The third is increase

1500
00:48:32,441 --> 00:48:32,742
community capacity for post

1501
00:48:32,742 --> 00:48:34,420
release.

1502
00:48:34,420 --> 00:48:36,478
The fourth is to keep our eye

1503
00:48:36,478 --> 00:48:37,947
on legislation.

1504
00:48:37,947 --> 00:48:39,749
We know that as there are

1505
00:48:39,749 --> 00:48:40,316
legislative changes, our

1506
00:48:40,316 --> 00:48:41,317
population changes and our

1507
00:48:41,317 --> 00:48:41,884
needs change.

1508
00:48:41,884 --> 00:48:43,553
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1509
00:48:43,553 --> 00:48:45,288
yes.

1510
00:48:45,288 --> 00:48:47,991
With your third in terms of

1511
00:48:47,991 --> 00:48:49,159
supporting and expanding the

1512
00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:51,561
community capacity, how are we

1513
00:48:51,561 --> 00:48:52,161
doing there?

1514
00:48:52,161 --> 00:48:54,330
>> department speaker: one of

1515
00:48:54,330 --> 00:48:55,598
the things we have worked hard

1516
00:48:55,598 --> 00:48:57,400
on is increasing our treatment

1517
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,400
bed capacity.

1518
00:49:00,269 --> 00:49:01,571
As you know, we have had

1519
00:49:01,571 --> 00:49:03,971
certain requirements for a

1520
00:49:05,174 --> 00:49:05,675
number of treatment beds that

1521
00:49:05,675 --> 00:49:07,711
we have to come up with.

1522
00:49:07,711 --> 00:49:09,244
Dmh is actually ahead of

1523
00:49:09,244 --> 00:49:11,447
schedule, and a little bit

1524
00:49:11,447 --> 00:49:12,582
above the number that we had

1525
00:49:12,582 --> 00:49:14,417
been committed to of the by

1526
00:49:14,417 --> 00:49:16,820
the end of this year we will

1527
00:49:16,820 --> 00:49:17,354
have brought on about 2,000

1528
00:49:17,354 --> 00:49:19,354
additional treatment beds.

1529
00:49:22,425 --> 00:49:22,993
Close to 2,000.

1530
00:49:22,993 --> 00:49:23,894
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1531
00:49:23,894 --> 00:49:27,494
that is across as you showed

1532
00:49:27,764 --> 00:49:28,799
us in the charts, that's

1533
00:49:28,799 --> 00:49:30,166
across the spectrum across

1534
00:49:30,166 --> 00:49:30,767
levels.

1535
00:49:30,767 --> 00:49:31,567
>> department speaker: across

1536
00:49:31,567 --> 00:49:33,202
levels.

1537
00:49:33,202 --> 00:49:34,404
That is treatment beds.

1538
00:49:34,404 --> 00:49:35,905
I think another really

1539
00:49:35,905 --> 00:49:37,807
exciting thing that we're

1540
00:49:37,807 --> 00:49:38,942
working on is we're expanding

1541
00:49:38,942 --> 00:49:39,910
the clubhouse international

1542
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:40,811
model in the department of

1543
00:49:40,811 --> 00:49:42,811
mental health.

1544
00:49:44,614 --> 00:49:46,282
This is a model that is now

1545
00:49:46,282 --> 00:49:48,840
medi-cal benefit, a new

1546
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,154
medi-cal benefit we can opt in

1547
00:49:51,154 --> 00:49:54,154
for, support our ability to

1548
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:12,240
build

1549
00:50:12,576 --> 00:50:14,178
with years of practice.

1550
00:50:14,178 --> 00:50:15,645
And we have seen some really,

1551
00:50:15,645 --> 00:50:17,645
really promising impact

1552
00:50:17,781 --> 00:50:18,983
they've been able to make.

1553
00:50:18,983 --> 00:50:20,784
I think besides having

1554
00:50:20,784 --> 00:50:22,486
treatment beds, I think that

1555
00:50:22,486 --> 00:50:24,320
is a v. Necessary first step

1556
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,922
for people to access the most

1557
00:50:25,922 --> 00:50:27,258
appropriate level of care.

1558
00:50:27,258 --> 00:50:30,258
Beyond that, people need to

1559
00:50:30,327 --> 00:50:31,528
have a place where they can

1560
00:50:31,528 --> 00:50:33,163
feel like they belong and

1561
00:50:33,163 --> 00:50:33,897
connect, find meaningful

1562
00:50:33,897 --> 00:50:35,897
activity and purpose.

1563
00:50:36,667 --> 00:50:38,569
We're building out sort of our

1564
00:50:38,569 --> 00:50:40,237
entire continuum to support

1565
00:50:40,237 --> 00:50:41,505
that, so that post release

1566
00:50:41,505 --> 00:50:43,573
people have high acuity beds

1567
00:50:43,573 --> 00:50:45,573
to go to.

1568
00:50:46,677 --> 00:50:47,344
We have an expansion of full

1569
00:50:47,344 --> 00:50:49,744
service partnerships so that

1570
00:50:51,782 --> 00:50:54,782
for those folks for whom

1571
00:50:55,219 --> 00:50:55,885
outpatientist is not intensive

1572
00:50:55,885 --> 00:50:58,489
enough, we have programs that

1573
00:50:58,489 --> 00:50:58,990
we have expanded, we will have

1574
00:50:58,990 --> 00:51:00,424
about 14,000 slots all

1575
00:51:00,424 --> 00:51:02,424
together.

1576
00:51:04,628 --> 00:51:05,129
Of course, you know many of

1577
00:51:05,129 --> 00:51:06,931
those are occupied now.

1578
00:51:06,931 --> 00:51:09,166
We are building out more

1579
00:51:09,166 --> 00:51:10,902
robust outpatient programs.

1580
00:51:10,902 --> 00:51:12,370
We believe if we invest in

1581
00:51:12,370 --> 00:51:13,304
outpatient we can hopefully

1582
00:51:13,304 --> 00:51:15,473
avoid people needing higher

1583
00:51:15,473 --> 00:51:17,473
acuity.

1584
00:51:17,642 --> 00:51:20,642
Then of course we're building

1585
00:51:20,745 --> 00:51:21,345
out our fountain house

1586
00:51:21,345 --> 00:51:22,846
inspired clubhouse models as

1587
00:51:22,846 --> 00:51:24,515
well.

1588
00:51:24,515 --> 00:51:25,882
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: two

1589
00:51:25,882 --> 00:51:27,418
quick followups.

1590
00:51:27,418 --> 00:51:30,418
Going back to the 2,000 beds,

1591
00:51:31,623 --> 00:51:33,570
as I think about seeing those

1592
00:51:33,570 --> 00:51:35,726
when you present, are any of

1593
00:51:35,726 --> 00:51:37,662
those reserved or designated

1594
00:51:37,662 --> 00:51:39,662
for incarcerated people?

1595
00:51:40,732 --> 00:51:42,734
Or you built out 2,000 beds

1596
00:51:42,734 --> 00:51:44,734
across the spectrum?

1597
00:51:45,103 --> 00:51:48,205
>> DR. One: a little bit --

1598
00:51:48,205 --> 00:51:50,475
one: a little over 2,000 beds,

1599
00:51:50,475 --> 00:51:52,475
across the spectrum.

1600
00:51:52,877 --> 00:51:53,378
But we have beds focused on

1601
00:51:53,378 --> 00:51:55,130
people who are justice

1602
00:51:55,130 --> 00:51:57,130
involved.

1603
00:51:57,515 --> 00:52:01,115
The new L.A. General campus

1604
00:52:01,786 --> 00:52:03,688
coming online, the majority of

1605
00:52:03,688 --> 00:52:05,423
beds are funded with justice

1606
00:52:05,423 --> 00:52:06,570
involved funding dollars.

1607
00:52:06,570 --> 00:52:07,225
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: if

1608
00:52:07,225 --> 00:52:09,260
the point of today's

1609
00:52:09,260 --> 00:52:11,260
conversation is depopulation

1610
00:52:11,296 --> 00:52:13,310
of mcj, give me a sense of how

1611
00:52:13,310 --> 00:52:13,632
many of the 2,000 beds would

1612
00:52:13,632 --> 00:52:16,000
be used to help toward

1613
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,000
depopulation.

1614
00:52:19,938 --> 00:52:21,840
>> DR. Wong: when they are

1615
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,407
appropriate.

1616
00:52:23,407 --> 00:52:24,608
If somebody is on a temporary

1617
00:52:24,608 --> 00:52:25,610
conservativeship or need the

1618
00:52:25,610 --> 00:52:28,947
level of care they will access

1619
00:52:28,947 --> 00:52:30,615
the beds.

1620
00:52:30,615 --> 00:52:32,451
We have done a massive chart

1621
00:52:32,451 --> 00:52:34,451
review with jcit.

1622
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:36,755
Out of 1250 total cases, we're

1623
00:52:36,755 --> 00:52:38,223
at over 1,000 we have

1624
00:52:38,223 --> 00:52:40,223
reviewed.

1625
00:52:40,325 --> 00:52:42,793
It appears that the vast

1626
00:52:42,793 --> 00:52:44,596
majority of the chats charts

1627
00:52:44,596 --> 00:52:46,164
that we reviewed are

1628
00:52:46,164 --> 00:52:46,865
appropriate for lowest levels

1629
00:52:46,865 --> 00:52:48,233
of care and not highest

1630
00:52:48,233 --> 00:52:49,734
acuity.

1631
00:52:49,734 --> 00:52:52,304
A little surprising given a

1632
00:52:52,304 --> 00:52:52,938
lot of what we've been told.

1633
00:52:52,938 --> 00:52:55,140
The data is going to be very

1634
00:52:55,140 --> 00:52:56,207
important to look at.

1635
00:52:56,207 --> 00:52:58,243
We will do a summary once we

1636
00:52:58,243 --> 00:53:00,512
have completed the chart

1637
00:53:00,512 --> 00:53:03,810
review and share that with all

1638
00:53:03,810 --> 00:53:05,818
of your offices and jcit.

1639
00:53:05,818 --> 00:53:08,520
But I think for us to have

1640
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,221
really good response to people

1641
00:53:10,221 --> 00:53:12,524
who are being released and to

1642
00:53:12,524 --> 00:53:14,726
try to get people out, we have

1643
00:53:14,726 --> 00:53:16,610
to treat the target.

1644
00:53:16,610 --> 00:53:16,895
We have to get people where

1645
00:53:16,895 --> 00:53:17,463
they really need to be.

1646
00:53:17,463 --> 00:53:19,863
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1647
00:53:20,332 --> 00:53:22,332
exactly.

1648
00:53:22,868 --> 00:53:24,969
You said that it is a medi-cal

1649
00:53:24,969 --> 00:53:26,504
reimbursable program.

1650
00:53:26,504 --> 00:53:27,539
Was that still funded through

1651
00:53:27,539 --> 00:53:29,441
the state this year through

1652
00:53:29,441 --> 00:53:31,441
medi-cal funding?

1653
00:53:32,411 --> 00:53:34,913
>> DR. Wong: it is continued,

1654
00:53:34,913 --> 00:53:35,614
a new benefit.

1655
00:53:35,614 --> 00:53:36,748
It is proper bely too new to

1656
00:53:36,748 --> 00:53:37,316
cut.

1657
00:53:37,316 --> 00:53:39,716
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1658
00:53:41,453 --> 00:53:43,453
well -- okay.

1659
00:53:45,157 --> 00:53:47,226
>> DR. Wong: but we are taking

1660
00:53:47,226 --> 00:53:47,793
in nonmedi-cal there as well.

1661
00:53:47,793 --> 00:53:49,829
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell:

1662
00:53:49,829 --> 00:53:51,829
appreciate that.

1663
00:53:56,101 --> 00:53:57,803
MISS Carter, my goal, as is

1664
00:53:57,803 --> 00:54:01,403
the goal of my colleagues, to

1665
00:54:04,809 --> 00:54:08,409
get us closer to jail closure.

1666
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:09,247
I have a kind of joke in my

1667
00:54:09,247 --> 00:54:11,247
office

1668
00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:13,619
office, my goal is if we can

1669
00:54:13,619 --> 00:54:16,619
get something done without a

1670
00:54:17,657 --> 00:54:19,458
motion great.

1671
00:54:19,458 --> 00:54:20,959
When you look at the elements

1672
00:54:20,959 --> 00:54:22,795
of the motion today and the

1673
00:54:22,795 --> 00:54:24,430
direction I'm attempting to go

1674
00:54:24,430 --> 00:54:26,299
in in terms of bringing the

1675
00:54:26,299 --> 00:54:27,499
groups to the table do you

1676
00:54:27,499 --> 00:54:31,990
think this gets us closer to

1677
00:54:32,338 --> 00:54:33,906
jail closure?

1678
00:54:33,906 --> 00:54:36,306
>> department speaker: the way

1679
00:54:37,510 --> 00:54:40,510
that I see this motion,

1680
00:54:40,580 --> 00:54:41,313
supervisor, getting us closer

1681
00:54:41,313 --> 00:54:42,915
to jail closure in a couple of

1682
00:54:42,915 --> 00:54:44,915
ways.

1683
00:54:45,919 --> 00:54:47,954
It is helpful, it affirms the

1684
00:54:47,954 --> 00:54:50,954
board's desire to close mcj

1685
00:54:51,257 --> 00:54:51,524
and look at all options for

1686
00:54:51,524 --> 00:54:53,524
doing so.

1687
00:54:54,127 --> 00:54:54,994
The board has said many times.

1688
00:54:54,994 --> 00:54:57,994
But we have new information

1689
00:55:01,668 --> 00:55:03,668
and new challenges.

1690
00:55:04,437 --> 00:55:06,305
The difficulty of the task,

1691
00:55:06,305 --> 00:55:08,174
and the challenges that we

1692
00:55:08,174 --> 00:55:10,174
face is helpful.

1693
00:55:10,243 --> 00:55:12,440
I also think that the motion

1694
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:13,747
acknowledges the importance of

1695
00:55:13,747 --> 00:55:15,582
aligning facilities to reduce

1696
00:55:15,582 --> 00:55:17,751
our reliance on mcj and

1697
00:55:17,751 --> 00:55:19,686
ultimately close it.

1698
00:55:19,686 --> 00:55:20,787
Emphasizes that all solutions

1699
00:55:20,787 --> 00:55:22,555
should be, including

1700
00:55:22,555 --> 00:55:24,557
facilities, should be informed

1701
00:55:24,557 --> 00:55:25,258
by a multi disciplinary

1702
00:55:25,258 --> 00:55:27,194
process that draws on the

1703
00:55:27,194 --> 00:55:29,950
focus departments.

1704
00:55:29,950 --> 00:55:30,163
Subject matter experts,

1705
00:55:30,163 --> 00:55:32,499
justice system partners and

1706
00:55:32,499 --> 00:55:34,100
community stakeholders.

1707
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:35,568
That's informed by budget on

1708
00:55:35,568 --> 00:55:35,836
roo e a little, best

1709
00:55:35,836 --> 00:55:37,836
practices.

1710
00:55:38,271 --> 00:55:40,540
I think that's helpful.

1711
00:55:40,540 --> 00:55:41,700
We have talked a lot about the

1712
00:55:41,700 --> 00:55:42,642
population reduction

1713
00:55:42,642 --> 00:55:44,642
strategies.

1714
00:55:44,677 --> 00:55:48,140
But if we are trying to

1715
00:55:48,140 --> 00:55:49,816
maximize and align the use of

1716
00:55:49,816 --> 00:55:51,551
other facilities, I think it

1717
00:55:51,551 --> 00:55:52,585
is helpful to have that lens

1718
00:55:52,585 --> 00:55:54,788
of that multi disciplinary

1719
00:55:54,788 --> 00:55:56,788
approach.

1720
00:55:56,857 --> 00:55:59,159
And certainly the departments

1721
00:55:59,159 --> 00:56:00,494
have tried to bring that to

1722
00:56:00,494 --> 00:56:01,127
even small renovation projects

1723
00:56:01,127 --> 00:56:03,430
and alignment projects in the

1724
00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:05,165
jail.

1725
00:56:05,165 --> 00:56:07,567
Like the new mental health

1726
00:56:07,567 --> 00:56:08,434
treatment area in the irc for

1727
00:56:08,434 --> 00:56:09,903
folks coming in and presenting

1728
00:56:09,903 --> 00:56:11,903
in the jail.

1729
00:56:12,505 --> 00:56:13,240
That was just opened this

1730
00:56:13,240 --> 00:56:13,841
year.

1731
00:56:13,841 --> 00:56:16,841
Chs was instrumental in that

1732
00:56:17,711 --> 00:56:19,711
process.

1733
00:56:20,314 --> 00:56:23,183
Also, some of the work now

1734
00:56:23,183 --> 00:56:25,252
that's happening design phase

1735
00:56:25,252 --> 00:56:27,220
for the renovation and

1736
00:56:27,220 --> 00:56:28,589
alignment for the detention

1737
00:56:28,589 --> 00:56:31,392
center south for those who

1738
00:56:31,392 --> 00:56:32,793
need moderate observation

1739
00:56:32,793 --> 00:56:33,961
housing.

1740
00:56:33,961 --> 00:56:35,362
I think those projects would

1741
00:56:35,362 --> 00:56:37,998
not be the same without the

1742
00:56:37,998 --> 00:56:40,133
insight and expertise of the

1743
00:56:40,133 --> 00:56:42,135
health departments and really

1744
00:56:42,135 --> 00:56:45,135
aligning for the care that

1745
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:47,975
needs to happen in our jail

1746
00:56:47,975 --> 00:56:49,409
facilities as well as get

1747
00:56:49,409 --> 00:56:49,877
people out of the jail

1748
00:56:49,877 --> 00:56:51,245
facilities as fast as

1749
00:56:51,245 --> 00:56:53,180
possible.

1750
00:56:53,180 --> 00:56:54,148
The third thing that is

1751
00:56:54,148 --> 00:56:56,817
helpful about this motion is

1752
00:56:56,817 --> 00:56:58,452
it gives the ceo and county

1753
00:56:58,452 --> 00:57:00,452
departments clear direction

1754
00:57:02,556 --> 00:57:03,124
that closing mcj must remain a

1755
00:57:03,124 --> 00:57:05,124
goal notwithstanding budget

1756
00:57:05,125 --> 00:57:06,126
pressures.

1757
00:57:06,126 --> 00:57:08,528
When we invest in new programs

1758
00:57:08,528 --> 00:57:09,697
we should do so with an eye to

1759
00:57:09,697 --> 00:57:12,697
maximize the impact on closing

1760
00:57:22,576 --> 00:57:23,770
the jail.

1761
00:57:23,770 --> 00:57:25,770
County departments have

1762
00:57:27,181 --> 00:57:29,490
already --

1763
00:57:29,490 --> 00:57:31,753
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: joe

1764
00:57:31,753 --> 00:57:33,753
nikita

1765
00:57:36,257 --> 00:57:38,525
nikita, you have a tough job.

1766
00:57:38,525 --> 00:57:40,925
From your perspective, how

1767
00:57:42,697 --> 00:57:43,264
should the county align

1768
00:57:43,264 --> 00:57:45,264
services, department

1769
00:57:45,733 --> 00:57:48,133
priorities, budget decision s

1770
00:57:48,870 --> 00:57:50,870
s

1771
00:57:51,739 --> 00:57:53,708
with depopulation strategies

1772
00:57:53,708 --> 00:57:56,577
to ultimately get us to

1773
00:57:56,577 --> 00:57:58,479
closure?

1774
00:57:58,479 --> 00:58:00,479
>> chief executive officer:

1775
00:58:00,647 --> 00:58:02,117
it is quite the puzzle.

1776
00:58:02,117 --> 00:58:03,351
The way I conceive of it and

1777
00:58:03,351 --> 00:58:07,551
the way we talk about it, all

1778
00:58:08,156 --> 00:58:10,691
tools are on the table.

1779
00:58:10,691 --> 00:58:12,326
Programs, case processing

1780
00:58:12,326 --> 00:58:14,280
reforms don't cost as much.

1781
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:14,896
There's a lot of opportunity

1782
00:58:14,896 --> 00:58:17,896
to reduce people's time in

1783
00:58:19,334 --> 00:58:20,340
jail.

1784
00:58:20,340 --> 00:58:22,340
Talking about facilities

1785
00:58:22,569 --> 00:58:23,838
alignment.

1786
00:58:23,838 --> 00:58:27,438
Those are the big things we

1787
00:58:29,678 --> 00:58:30,879
see as part of the puzzle.

1788
00:58:30,879 --> 00:58:33,279
We ever conversations with

1789
00:58:36,885 --> 00:58:39,754
MR. Pinkney about what comes

1790
00:58:39,754 --> 00:58:41,754
raft the directive.

1791
00:58:45,994 --> 00:58:47,195
Number one is we have to have

1792
00:58:47,195 --> 00:58:48,529
a planned foreclosure.

1793
00:58:48,529 --> 00:58:49,364
Everything is critical.

1794
00:58:49,364 --> 00:58:53,564
We have to scale it to the

1795
00:58:54,403 --> 00:58:55,737
budget realities.

1796
00:58:55,737 --> 00:58:58,140
It's not feasible to say we're

1797
00:58:58,140 --> 00:58:59,241
going to implement something

1798
00:58:59,241 --> 00:59:00,742
that we just can't afford

1799
00:59:00,742 --> 00:59:02,544
budgetarily.

1800
00:59:02,544 --> 00:59:04,279
We need to be strategic where

1801
00:59:04,279 --> 00:59:04,451
we make the investments early

1802
00:59:04,451 --> 00:59:05,714
on.

1803
00:59:05,714 --> 00:59:06,815
We need to think through what

1804
00:59:06,815 --> 00:59:10,415
we invest in now versus what

1805
00:59:32,875 --> 00:59:34,176
we invest in later.

1806
00:59:34,176 --> 00:59:37,176
For a better understanding of

1807
00:59:40,716 --> 00:59:43,180
the outcomes and metrics.

1808
00:59:43,180 --> 00:59:44,153
If we invest $28 million in

1809
00:59:44,153 --> 00:59:44,887
year one 69 program what will

1810
00:59:44,887 --> 00:59:46,887
that buy us.

1811
00:59:56,832 --> 00:59:58,734
We should track it.

1812
00:59:58,734 --> 00:59:59,668
Programs, facilities, case

1813
00:59:59,668 --> 01:00:02,680
processing, scale to budget

1814
01:00:10,110 --> 01:00:12,110
possibility.

1815
01:00:12,515 --> 01:00:16,840
One of the things was the

1816
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:17,420
ability to start to close

1817
01:00:17,420 --> 01:00:18,788
floors at mcj.

1818
01:00:18,788 --> 01:00:19,287
There shall challenges on the

1819
01:00:19,287 --> 01:00:21,687
operating side for law

1820
01:00:22,791 --> 01:00:24,492
enforcement.

1821
01:00:24,492 --> 01:00:26,950
I don't want to speak for the

1822
01:00:26,950 --> 01:00:27,763
sheriff but if we hold

1823
01:00:27,763 --> 01:00:30,763
ourselves to the outcome we

1824
01:00:35,170 --> 01:00:36,571
can see progress.

1825
01:00:36,571 --> 01:00:37,773
That is the next step what do

1826
01:00:37,773 --> 01:00:41,973
we present to the board in a

1827
01:00:47,984 --> 01:00:49,180
way to finance it or fund it.

1828
01:00:49,180 --> 01:00:49,786
What metrics are we expecting

1829
01:00:49,786 --> 01:00:52,786
to achieve and hold ourselves

1830
01:00:56,392 --> 01:00:56,960
accountable.

1831

>> sup hilda solis, chair:

1832
01:01:00,797 --> 01:01:01,431
supervisor horvath?

1833
01:01:01,431 --> 01:01:02,799
Sup. Lindsey horvath: I know

1834
01:01:02,799 --> 01:01:04,667
when people say we need a

1835
01:01:04,667 --> 01:01:06,350
motion to get clarity, I know

1836
01:01:06,350 --> 01:01:07,937
what that feels like.

1837
01:01:07,937 --> 01:01:10,640
I fully support you and

1838
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:11,974
keeping the county focused on

1839
01:01:11,974 --> 01:01:14,374
pathways towards the closure

1840
01:01:15,780 --> 01:01:17,780
of mcj.

1841
01:01:17,714 --> 01:01:19,149
I agree it is important to

1842
01:01:19,149 --> 01:01:21,500
emphasize a multi disciplinary

1843
01:01:21,500 --> 01:01:21,484
approach and especially the

1844
01:01:21,484 --> 01:01:23,486
role of our health

1845
01:01:23,486 --> 01:01:25,486
departments.

1846
01:01:25,655 --> 01:01:27,189
I am frequently reminded of

1847
01:01:27,189 --> 01:01:27,991
the high number of individuals

1848
01:01:27,991 --> 01:01:30,991
that are facing charges under

1849
01:01:37,166 --> 01:01:38,301
prop. 36.

1850
01:01:38,301 --> 01:01:39,702
If they can be diverted when

1851
01:01:39,702 --> 01:01:41,702
they have capacity.

1852
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,800
I'm a strong proponent of

1853
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:46,309
departmental goals, benchmarks

1854
01:01:46,309 --> 01:01:47,978
and tying jcit to the work of

1855
01:01:47,978 --> 01:01:49,978
the departments.

1856
01:01:53,183 --> 01:01:56,783
Of course our county uj budget

1857
01:02:12,335 --> 01:02:13,169
which you clearly outlined.

supervisor hahn moved

1860
01:02:16,673 --> 01:02:19,673
momentarily, but I want to

1861
01:02:19,943 --> 01:02:23,313
thank all of you for the work

1862
01:02:23,313 --> 01:02:25,916
you are doing the when I

1863
01:02:25,916 --> 01:02:27,784
authored the motion to create

1864
01:02:27,784 --> 01:02:29,119
jcit, it has taken us some

1865
01:02:29,119 --> 01:02:33,390
time and I get it a lot of

1866
01:02:33,390 --> 01:02:35,192
different factors.

1867
01:02:35,192 --> 01:02:36,627
Different powerful interests

1868
01:02:36,627 --> 01:02:37,227
that move us in different

1869
01:02:37,227 --> 01:02:39,627
directions from the original

1870
01:02:42,833 --> 01:02:44,268
goal.

1871
01:02:44,268 --> 01:02:46,604
The board repeats itself, we

1872
01:02:46,604 --> 01:02:50,204
have to have that as a

1873
01:02:53,677 --> 01:02:56,770
continued goal that men's

1874
01:03:00,417 --> 01:03:01,985
central jail should be closed.

1875
01:03:01,985 --> 01:03:03,621
The reports are useful that we

1876
01:03:03,621 --> 01:03:05,255
have to keep our foot on the

1877
01:03:05,255 --> 01:03:07,580
pedal.

1878
01:03:07,580 --> 01:03:11,258
I don't have a lot of time

1879
01:03:18,436 --> 01:03:20,304
here on this board.

1880
01:03:20,304 --> 01:03:21,171
Thee are big priority for the

1881
01:03:21,171 --> 01:03:24,171
public and family members in

1882
01:03:30,814 --> 01:03:32,550
our jails.

1883
01:03:32,550 --> 01:03:33,450
Given the circumstances

1884
01:03:33,450 --> 01:03:35,353
financially with our own

1885
01:03:35,353 --> 01:03:36,554
budget, the state, and the

1886
01:03:36,554 --> 01:03:38,356
federal government we are

1887
01:03:38,356 --> 01:03:39,790
going to have to perhaps in

1888
01:03:39,790 --> 01:03:42,920
the future work with less.

1889
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:43,861
But that doesn't mean you lose

1890
01:03:43,861 --> 01:03:45,861
creativity.

1891
01:03:48,666 --> 01:03:50,367
And a different partnership.

1892
01:03:50,367 --> 01:03:51,269
Maybe looking at how we did

1893
01:03:51,269 --> 01:03:53,269
things, 10, 15 years isn't

1894
01:03:55,772 --> 01:03:57,642
relevant.

1895
01:03:57,642 --> 01:03:58,977
Give it flexibility, how we

1896
01:03:58,977 --> 01:04:01,977
address more capacity to serve

1897
01:04:06,384 --> 01:04:08,384
people in need.

1898
01:04:08,686 --> 01:04:09,253
My agenda when I got here was

1899
01:04:09,253 --> 01:04:09,686
don't rebuild men's central

1900
01:04:09,686 --> 01:04:11,322
jail.

1901
01:04:11,322 --> 01:04:13,722
we don't need it.

1902
01:04:13,958 --> 01:04:14,859
We can go to other off paths.

1903
01:04:14,859 --> 01:04:18,459
And get the help and treatment

1904
01:04:20,632 --> 01:04:22,167
that people need.

1905
01:04:22,167 --> 01:04:23,268
It takes a long time.

1906
01:04:23,268 --> 01:04:24,935
I know in my district we used

1907
01:04:24,935 --> 01:04:26,438
property.

1908
01:04:26,438 --> 01:04:29,400
We didn't have to buy

1909
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,875
property, we used the county

1910
01:04:30,875 --> 01:04:32,577
resources to build

1911
01:04:32,577 --> 01:04:34,977
recuperative beds, sub acute

1912
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,880
beds, now we open up this

1913
01:04:40,851 --> 01:04:42,687
coming week or so more beds.

1914
01:04:42,687 --> 01:04:45,687
To address people with mental

1915
01:04:46,291 --> 01:04:48,691
health and substance abuse.

1916
01:04:52,930 --> 01:04:54,533
Restorative care village.

1917
01:04:54,533 --> 01:04:56,340
Would have to up our game.

1918
01:04:56,340 --> 01:05:00,234
The time it takes to build the

1919
01:05:00,771 --> 01:05:02,771
beds is incredible.

1920
01:05:02,941 --> 01:05:04,900
There are good people on the

1921
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:04,743
staff, public works,

1922
01:05:04,743 --> 01:05:07,143
contractors, people from the

1923
01:05:07,211 --> 01:05:08,460
state that helped us with some

1924
01:05:08,460 --> 01:05:11,646
of these grants to help build

1925
01:05:11,783 --> 01:05:12,384
the beds.

1926
01:05:12,384 --> 01:05:15,384
Sum staining it and expanding

1927
01:05:18,457 --> 01:05:19,324
it.

1928
01:05:19,324 --> 01:05:20,392
Doing it in concert with

1929
01:05:20,392 --> 01:05:22,392
community.

1930
01:05:26,131 --> 01:05:28,433
Where sometimes we get lost.

1931
01:05:28,433 --> 01:05:31,203
That is a criticism I have

1932
01:05:31,203 --> 01:05:31,970
heard, from people who say why

1933
01:05:31,970 --> 01:05:34,730
do you have to build anything

1934
01:05:34,730 --> 01:05:36,730
on county property.

1935
01:05:36,740 --> 01:05:39,674
I'm trying to make a point.

1936
01:05:49,788 --> 01:05:51,490
This is needed.

1937
01:05:51,490 --> 01:05:52,157
Knows are not locked

1938
01:05:52,157 --> 01:05:55,157
facilities but at the level

1939
01:05:55,861 --> 01:05:57,563
that have made a dent.

1940
01:05:57,563 --> 01:05:59,164
I bet if we put our heads

1941
01:05:59,164 --> 01:06:00,966
together and see the progress

1942
01:06:00,966 --> 01:06:01,967
continue we can make the

1943
01:06:01,967 --> 01:06:04,967
difference so that we do

1944
01:06:09,174 --> 01:06:10,476
depopulate the jails.

1945
01:06:10,476 --> 01:06:10,975
More flexibility and the

1946
01:06:10,975 --> 01:06:13,375
formulas that fund the

1947
01:06:17,383 --> 01:06:19,383
projects.

1948
01:06:21,287 --> 01:06:23,289
Especially the imd effort.

1949
01:06:23,289 --> 01:06:25,191
I continue to have faith in

1950
01:06:25,191 --> 01:06:27,191
you.

1951
01:06:33,532 --> 01:06:34,400
there has to be urgency.

1952
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,435
Thank you supervisor mitchell

1953
01:06:36,435 --> 01:06:37,170
for bringing this forward and

1954
01:06:37,170 --> 01:06:38,337
reminding us why we started

1955
01:06:38,337 --> 01:06:40,337
this venture.

1956
01:06:43,943 --> 01:06:45,712
It has to continue.

1957
01:06:45,712 --> 01:06:47,513
Members of the board will

1958
01:06:47,513 --> 01:06:49,182
carry the baton as I look back

1959
01:06:49,182 --> 01:06:49,983
on you, 3,000 miles away, I

1960
01:06:49,983 --> 01:06:51,983
hope.

1961
01:06:52,752 --> 01:06:53,352
Hope to come here and see that

1962
01:06:53,352 --> 01:06:55,254
there is more progress being

1963
01:06:55,254 --> 01:06:57,254
made.

1964
01:07:02,662 --> 01:07:03,496
I know there will be.

1965
01:07:03,496 --> 01:07:04,960
[Off mic]

1966
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,960
>> sup hilda solis, chair: be

1967
01:07:13,206 --> 01:07:13,772
nice.

1968
01:07:13,772 --> 01:07:14,140
>> sup hilda solis, chair:

1969
01:07:14,140 --> 01:07:14,741
supervisor hahn?

1970
01:07:14,741 --> 01:07:14,941
>> sup. Janice hahn: be nice,

1971
01:07:14,941 --> 01:07:16,209
right.

1972
01:07:16,209 --> 01:07:21,900
I had a lot of questions but a

1973
01:07:22,782 --> 01:07:24,317
lot were answered.

1974
01:07:24,317 --> 01:07:25,685
We have run the gamut of the

1975
01:07:25,685 --> 01:07:26,852
departments, what you can do,

1976
01:07:26,852 --> 01:07:28,755
what you see yourself doing in

1977
01:07:28,755 --> 01:07:30,490
this role.

1978
01:07:30,490 --> 01:07:32,225
I remain not as optimistic as

1979
01:07:32,225 --> 01:07:33,460
you, MADAM Chair.

1980
01:07:33,460 --> 01:07:37,600
I am really frustrated at this

1981
01:07:43,670 --> 01:07:44,904
process.

1982
01:07:44,904 --> 01:07:45,638
We were chatting, we thought

1983
01:07:45,638 --> 01:07:49,238
it was going in the right

1984
01:07:49,509 --> 01:07:51,509
direction.

1985
01:07:51,811 --> 01:07:54,811
Nothing against motions how we

1986
01:07:56,215 --> 01:07:57,951
operate, but seems like we are

1987
01:07:57,951 --> 01:08:00,351
motioning this jail closure

1988
01:08:00,820 --> 01:08:05,200
week by week by week by week.

1989
01:08:10,464 --> 01:08:12,199
In my view, joe is at the

1990
01:08:12,199 --> 01:08:14,434
helm, will is the quarterback,

1991
01:08:14,434 --> 01:08:17,737
this is the team and this

1992
01:08:17,737 --> 01:08:19,206
motion seeks to center the

1993
01:08:19,206 --> 01:08:21,206
multi disciplinary subject

1994
01:08:23,100 --> 01:08:24,544
matter experts.

1995
01:08:24,544 --> 01:08:25,450
In conversation is used at

1996
01:08:25,450 --> 01:08:26,790
different points in the

1997
01:08:26,790 --> 01:08:28,790
motion.

1998
01:08:28,782 --> 01:08:31,510
How does this actually work?

1999
01:08:31,510 --> 01:08:34,651
Does this team that I see

2000
01:08:35,989 --> 01:08:38,389
before me have conversations

2001
01:08:39,927 --> 01:08:40,527
except in a board meeting in

2002
01:08:40,527 --> 01:08:41,128
front of the board of

2003
01:08:41,128 --> 01:08:41,862
supervisors as response to the

2004
01:08:41,862 --> 01:08:43,862
motion?

2005
01:08:44,310 --> 01:08:44,498
Do you meet regularly?

2006
01:08:44,498 --> 01:08:46,667
Will do you call them

2007
01:08:46,667 --> 01:08:48,667
together?

2008
01:08:51,505 --> 01:08:54,505
Are they offering you their

2009
01:09:00,681 --> 01:09:01,682
expertise or -- how is this

2010
01:09:01,682 --> 01:09:03,682
going to work.

2011
01:09:03,918 --> 01:09:05,819
If it's not going to happen in

2012
01:09:05,819 --> 01:09:06,754
your supervisorial lifetime,

2013
01:09:06,754 --> 01:09:09,189
MADAM Chair, probably not mine

2014
01:09:09,189 --> 01:09:11,189
either.

2015
01:09:11,726 --> 01:09:12,226
I have 2 1/2 years left.

2016
01:09:12,226 --> 01:09:14,328
The torch keeps getting

2017
01:09:14,328 --> 01:09:16,328
passed.

2018
01:09:16,631 --> 01:09:19,500
I'm frustrated, it seems like

2019
01:09:19,500 --> 01:09:21,350
when we're all together

2020
01:09:21,350 --> 01:09:23,350
there's great suggestions,

2021
01:09:23,270 --> 01:09:23,937
great expertise, you are the

2022
01:09:23,937 --> 01:09:25,372
smartest people in the room

2023
01:09:25,372 --> 01:09:27,372
all the time.

2024
01:09:32,780 --> 01:09:35,249
Yet when we go away I wonder

2025
01:09:35,249 --> 01:09:37,618
how does it continue.

2026
01:09:37,618 --> 01:09:40,870
Will, maybe give me some sort

2027
01:09:40,870 --> 01:09:42,156
of confidence that these

2028
01:09:42,156 --> 01:09:43,857
conversations, as we'ring

2029
01:09:43,857 --> 01:09:44,425
them, are happening.

2030
01:09:44,425 --> 01:09:45,727
Are you taking their ideas,

2031
01:09:45,727 --> 01:09:47,727
giving them ideas.

2032
01:09:48,830 --> 01:09:49,430
How is this going to work.

2033
01:09:49,430 --> 01:09:50,398
>> department speaker: thank

2034
01:09:50,398 --> 01:09:51,599
you, great question.

2035
01:09:51,599 --> 01:09:52,990
As we talked about in the

2036
01:09:52,990 --> 01:09:53,200
back, I understand the

2037
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,169
frustration.

2038
01:09:55,169 --> 01:09:57,805
I think when I first spoke

2039
01:09:57,805 --> 01:09:59,273
before the board in APRIL last

2040
01:09:59,273 --> 01:09:59,774
year, I said I understand the

2041
01:09:59,774 --> 01:10:00,774
urgency, frustration of

2042
01:10:00,774 --> 01:10:02,443
people.

2043
01:10:02,443 --> 01:10:05,443
Long before my time here.

2044
01:10:05,612 --> 01:10:07,612
We do talk.

2045
01:10:07,649 --> 01:10:08,183
We have meetings every 4 to 6

2046
01:10:08,183 --> 01:10:10,351
weeks, where we all come

2047
01:10:10,351 --> 01:10:12,530
together.

2048
01:10:12,530 --> 01:10:12,853
Sort of the decisionmakers.

2049
01:10:12,853 --> 01:10:14,756
My team works with all of

2050
01:10:14,756 --> 01:10:16,624
their teams.

2051
01:10:16,624 --> 01:10:18,492
i joked one of the lust are

2052
01:10:18,492 --> 01:10:19,270
meetings on a regular basis

2053
01:10:19,270 --> 01:10:20,929
probably to the point of

2054
01:10:20,929 --> 01:10:22,330
annoyance.

2055
01:10:22,330 --> 01:10:24,866
But a good annoyance, we

2056
01:10:24,866 --> 01:10:26,866
challenge each other.

2057
01:10:27,702 --> 01:10:29,336
They are critical to the

2058
01:10:29,336 --> 01:10:31,206
production of our quarterly

2059
01:10:31,206 --> 01:10:33,174
reports in terms of the

2060
01:10:33,174 --> 01:10:35,174
information.

2061
01:10:35,477 --> 01:10:37,778
My goal as the quarterback, I

2062
01:10:37,778 --> 01:10:40,248
see and my team working with

2063
01:10:40,248 --> 01:10:41,449
the departments is to look at

2064
01:10:41,449 --> 01:10:43,384
what is happening and to

2065
01:10:43,384 --> 01:10:44,686
supervisor solis's pointed not

2066
01:10:44,686 --> 01:10:46,754
just focus on this is the way

2067
01:10:46,754 --> 01:10:49,154
we've always done it.

2068
01:10:49,191 --> 01:10:50,926
But to promote innovation.

2069
01:10:50,926 --> 01:10:52,727
I think, and I feel there has

2070
01:10:52,727 --> 01:10:54,462
been innovation.

2071
01:10:54,462 --> 01:10:56,431
I'll let my colleagues speak

2072
01:10:56,431 --> 01:10:58,431
for themselves.

2073
01:10:58,567 --> 01:10:59,634
We meet regularly, I'm on the

2074
01:10:59,634 --> 01:11:01,570
phone with all of them during

2075
01:11:01,570 --> 01:11:03,972
the month at some point.

2076
01:11:03,972 --> 01:11:06,942
We just met with our

2077
01:11:06,942 --> 01:11:09,177
colleagues in dmh yesterday.

2078
01:11:09,177 --> 01:11:10,445
Clemens, speak to all the

2079
01:11:10,445 --> 01:11:11,460
time.

2080
01:11:11,460 --> 01:11:12,800
Trying to help them identify

2081
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:14,800
funding opportunities.

2082
01:11:14,815 --> 01:11:16,318
We are constantly engaged.

2083
01:11:16,318 --> 01:11:17,753
I do understand when we're not

2084
01:11:17,753 --> 01:11:19,121
here, to your point, if you

2085
01:11:19,121 --> 01:11:20,655
don't see things it seems like

2086
01:11:20,655 --> 01:11:21,223
things aren't happening.

2087
01:11:21,223 --> 01:11:24,823
But I would say that's not

2088
01:11:28,864 --> 01:11:29,464
accurate.

2089
01:11:29,464 --> 01:11:30,733
I understand why people feel

2090
01:11:30,733 --> 01:11:31,567
that way.

2091
01:11:31,567 --> 01:11:34,567
Three things are important to

2092
01:11:41,510 --> 01:11:43,145
the urgency of the work.

2093
01:11:43,145 --> 01:11:44,613
There isn't people are

2094
01:11:44,613 --> 01:11:45,647
frustrated, there is an

2095
01:11:45,647 --> 01:11:47,815
urgency, we can't wait until

2096
01:11:47,815 --> 01:11:49,118
everything is fully baked.

2097
01:11:49,118 --> 01:11:52,540
We need to try things in

2098
01:11:52,540 --> 01:11:53,388
realtime.

2099
01:11:53,388 --> 01:11:54,523
Pilot programs, other things

2100
01:11:54,523 --> 01:11:57,523
people are doichblgt as long

2101
01:11:58,494 --> 01:11:59,929
as they do it on their own.

2102
01:11:59,929 --> 01:12:02,929
Metrics how are we doing.

2103
01:12:03,498 --> 01:12:05,601
I think we need to give time,

2104
01:12:05,601 --> 01:12:06,636
sometimes, that this type of

2105
01:12:06,636 --> 01:12:07,303
work and the judge can speak

2106
01:12:07,303 --> 01:12:09,638
to this, she does a lot of

2107
01:12:09,638 --> 01:12:10,806
this.

2108
01:12:10,806 --> 01:12:14,406
We don't give enough time as

2109
01:12:17,246 --> 01:12:19,646
we do other work.

2110
01:12:19,882 --> 01:12:21,783
We should be critical, ask

2111
01:12:21,783 --> 01:12:24,783
questions but give things time

2112
01:12:29,192 --> 01:12:29,858
to happen and take root.

2113
01:12:29,858 --> 01:12:31,327
>> sup. Janice hahn: we have

2114
01:12:31,327 --> 01:12:32,328
given you -- everyone, we're

2115
01:12:32,328 --> 01:12:34,328
all responsible.

2116
01:12:37,666 --> 01:12:38,167
You are really responsible.

2117
01:12:38,167 --> 01:12:38,668
We have given you that

2118
01:12:38,668 --> 01:12:39,202
responsibility.

2119
01:12:39,202 --> 01:12:40,436
>> department speaker:

2120
01:12:40,436 --> 01:12:42,370
definitely.

2121
01:12:42,370 --> 01:12:44,173
>> sup. Janice hahn: when

2122
01:12:44,173 --> 01:12:46,509
we're together I think you

2123
01:12:46,509 --> 01:12:48,611
will hear from me and my

2124
01:12:48,611 --> 01:12:49,512
colleagues, we want to know

2125
01:12:49,512 --> 01:12:51,912
we're grilling our department

2126
01:12:59,655 --> 01:13:02,625
heads, what we are can you do.

2127
01:13:02,625 --> 01:13:04,794
Are you asking DR. Wong what

2128
01:13:04,794 --> 01:13:08,230
more can you do internals of

2129
01:13:08,230 --> 01:13:10,630
mental health, either for

2130
01:13:11,134 --> 01:13:12,669
helping us to keep folks from

2131
01:13:12,669 --> 01:13:14,300
being in jail in the first

2132
01:13:14,300 --> 01:13:15,972
place, once they're in there

2133
01:13:15,972 --> 01:13:17,207
how do we successfully get --

2134
01:13:17,207 --> 01:13:19,607
are you asking those

2135
01:13:21,744 --> 01:13:23,178
questions.

2136
01:13:23,178 --> 01:13:23,779
I can't speak for my

2137
01:13:23,779 --> 01:13:25,248
colleagues, though sometimes I

2138
01:13:25,248 --> 01:13:27,840
try.

2139
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:27,851
But we must be feeling you

2140
01:13:27,851 --> 01:13:30,851
aren't doing enough or we

2141
01:13:30,887 --> 01:13:32,755
wouldn't ask that question.

2142
01:13:32,755 --> 01:13:34,691
Each of you could do more or

2143
01:13:34,691 --> 01:13:35,257
we wouldn't keep asking that.

2144
01:13:35,257 --> 01:13:37,257
>> department speaker: yes,

2145
01:13:42,432 --> 01:13:43,834
yes.

2146
01:13:43,834 --> 01:13:44,900
Generally around the work what

2147
01:13:44,900 --> 01:13:47,300
more we can do.

2148
01:13:48,738 --> 01:13:49,506
I do ask that question.

2149
01:13:49,506 --> 01:13:50,874
That's how we got to the

2150
01:13:50,874 --> 01:13:51,708
required questions.

2151
01:13:51,708 --> 01:13:55,308
we ask the questions that are

2152
01:14:00,984 --> 01:14:02,984
feasible.

2153
01:14:03,987 --> 01:14:06,387
DR. Wong, DR. Clemens,

2154
01:14:07,457 --> 01:14:09,326
around -- and I know DR. Sai

2155
01:14:09,326 --> 01:14:10,861
isn't there, DR. Hurley took

2156
01:14:10,861 --> 01:14:12,861
over.

2157
01:14:13,296 --> 01:14:15,465
What are innovative things we

2158
01:14:15,465 --> 01:14:18,465
can do whether court ordered

2159
01:14:21,972 --> 01:14:22,606
release or released generally

2160
01:14:22,606 --> 01:14:24,740
to look at what judges are

2161
01:14:24,740 --> 01:14:25,843
confident in.

2162
01:14:25,843 --> 01:14:27,911
What can we create.

2163
01:14:27,911 --> 01:14:28,746
We're about to reconvene that

2164
01:14:28,746 --> 01:14:30,380
conversation now that we have

2165
01:14:30,380 --> 01:14:34,580
gotten past a lot of the heavy

2166
01:14:34,785 --> 01:14:37,785
work of the required actions.

2167
01:14:38,550 --> 01:14:41,550
Ski those questions, that's an

2168
01:14:42,393 --> 01:14:44,361
example of that.

2169
01:14:44,361 --> 01:14:45,829
I led violence prevention

2170
01:14:45,829 --> 01:14:46,564
work, and was like a key

2171
01:14:46,564 --> 01:14:49,564
spokesman to your point, being

2172
01:14:50,134 --> 01:14:52,134
charged with it.

2173
01:14:53,404 --> 01:14:53,904
Every time someone died I felt

2174
01:14:53,904 --> 01:14:55,406
responsible.

2175
01:14:55,406 --> 01:14:57,806
It wasn't my responsibility

2176
01:14:58,242 --> 01:15:00,642
but I felt responsible.

2177
01:15:01,177 --> 01:15:05,377
I bring that same work, I feel

2178
01:15:05,549 --> 01:15:07,549
responsible, of course.

2179
01:15:08,653 --> 01:15:09,186
I know it drives my colleagues

2180
01:15:09,186 --> 01:15:09,420
but we think about those

2181
01:15:09,420 --> 01:15:09,921
things.

2182
01:15:09,921 --> 01:15:12,321
>> sup. Janice hahn: I

2183
01:15:12,789 --> 01:15:14,789
appreciate that.

2184
01:15:14,825 --> 01:15:16,259
No question that this board,

2185
01:15:16,259 --> 01:15:17,961
this current bakeup of this

2186
01:15:17,961 --> 01:15:19,296
board has been committed to

2187
01:15:19,296 --> 01:15:21,696
closing men's central trail

2188
01:15:26,771 --> 01:15:28,806
for over five years.

2189
01:15:28,806 --> 01:15:31,806
You saw us appropriate that

2190
01:15:33,744 --> 01:15:35,346
$28 million.

2191
01:15:35,346 --> 01:15:39,546
You have seen us put our money

2192
01:15:41,190 --> 01:15:42,253
where our mouth is.

2193
01:15:42,253 --> 01:15:44,210
I want to feel like we don't

2194
01:15:44,210 --> 01:15:45,923
motion every aspect.

2195
01:15:45,923 --> 01:15:46,724
Although I don't know what we

2196
01:15:46,724 --> 01:15:48,226
would do if we could motion

2197
01:15:48,226 --> 01:15:49,193
everything.

2198
01:15:49,193 --> 01:15:49,794
>> department speaker: my

2199
01:15:49,794 --> 01:15:52,194
colleagues don't want anymore

2200
01:15:53,197 --> 01:15:55,197
motions either.

2201
01:15:56,935 --> 01:15:57,902
but I agree.

2202
01:15:57,902 --> 01:15:59,337
>> sup. Janice hahn: we want

2203
01:15:59,337 --> 01:16:01,206
the reportbacks, and where we

2204
01:16:01,206 --> 01:16:03,206
close it.

2205
01:16:04,408 --> 01:16:05,443
By motions or asking for

2206
01:16:05,443 --> 01:16:06,777
reportbacks, I hope we don't

2207
01:16:06,777 --> 01:16:07,412
take time away --

2208
01:16:07,412 --> 01:16:08,746
>> department speaker: you do,

2209
01:16:08,746 --> 01:16:09,547
but --

2210
01:16:09,547 --> 01:16:13,147
>> sup. Janice hahn: it is a

2211
01:16:16,121 --> 01:16:16,754
constant conflict.

2212
01:16:16,754 --> 01:16:19,154
You're not doing something

2213
01:16:24,796 --> 01:16:26,231
else, we know.

2214
01:16:26,231 --> 01:16:26,932
I thank you to all of the

2215
01:16:26,932 --> 01:16:29,932
departments we are rowing in

2216
01:16:34,639 --> 01:16:36,639
the same direction.

2217
01:16:36,774 --> 01:16:37,750
Feels like it's not happening

2218
01:16:37,750 --> 01:16:37,675
fast enough.

2219
01:16:37,675 --> 01:16:38,109
>> department speaker: thank

2220
01:16:38,109 --> 01:16:38,676
you.

2221
01:16:38,676 --> 01:16:39,844
>> sup hilda solis, chair:

2222
01:16:39,844 --> 01:16:42,244
thank you for that.

2223
01:16:42,314 --> 01:16:43,548
Seeing no other questions from

2224
01:16:43,548 --> 01:16:46,151
my colleagues, let's go to

2225
01:16:46,151 --> 01:16:48,151
public comment.

2226
01:16:48,754 --> 01:16:49,521
I'll ask the panelists to sit

2227
01:16:49,521 --> 01:16:53,721
tight in case you need to hear

2228
01:16:54,459 --> 01:16:55,270
from the audience.

2229
01:16:55,270 --> 01:16:57,270
>> asst. Executive officer:

2230
01:16:57,195 --> 01:16:57,629
will the following individual

2231
01:16:57,629 --> 01:16:59,131
please step forward.

2232
01:16:59,131 --> 01:17:00,933
Caller with phone number 818

2233
01:17:00,933 --> 01:17:01,166
last two digits 95, your line

2234
01:17:01,166 --> 01:17:03,166
is open.

01:17:07,306 --> 01:17:10,275
State your name and begin.

2236
01:17:10,275 --> 01:17:12,176

is open, please begin.

2239
01:17:17,616 --> 01:17:18,584
We'll go to the next caller.

2240
01:17:18,584 --> 01:17:21,584
Roy humphreys your line is

2241
01:17:21,987 --> 01:17:23,455
open, please begin.

2242
01:17:23,455 --> 01:17:24,220
>> telephone speaker: yes,

2243
01:17:24,220 --> 01:17:26,422
2026 still talking this to

2244
01:17:26,692 --> 01:17:28,427
death.

2245
01:17:28,427 --> 01:17:30,696
The true criminals deserving

2246
01:17:30,696 --> 01:17:33,696
of alcatraz are the four

2247
01:17:33,799 --> 01:17:36,799
democrats on this board and

2248
01:17:38,537 --> 01:17:39,872
sheila kuell with lesbian and

2249
01:17:39,872 --> 01:17:41,373
transgender guards.

2250
01:17:41,373 --> 01:17:44,176
You come pound the problems by

2251
01:17:44,176 --> 01:17:47,176
cutting the funding of the

2252
01:17:47,446 --> 01:17:50,820
system and failure to e panned

2253
01:17:50,820 --> 01:17:52,118
the system is perverse.

2254
01:17:52,118 --> 01:17:53,919
County board members and their

2255
01:17:53,919 --> 01:17:54,520
staff should adopt a jail

2256
01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:56,920
inmate to show their

2257
01:17:58,524 --> 01:17:59,792
dedication to the cause.

2258
01:17:59,792 --> 01:18:01,527
You can always go to the

2259
01:18:01,527 --> 01:18:02,762
chinese for consultation and

2260
01:18:02,762 --> 01:18:03,862
they can take scare of this

2261
01:18:03,862 --> 01:18:05,431
problem overnight.

2262
01:18:05,431 --> 01:18:05,997
Thank you.

2263
01:18:05,997 --> 01:18:07,333
>> asst. Executive officer:

2264
01:18:07,333 --> 01:18:08,670
thank you.

2265
01:18:08,670 --> 01:18:08,634
Janet assante your line is

2266
01:18:08,634 --> 01:18:10,634
open.

2267
01:18:10,803 --> 01:18:11,871
Please begin.

2268
01:18:11,871 --> 01:18:14,271
>> telephone speaker: yes, I'm

2269
01:18:14,373 --> 01:18:16,676
janet assante, dignity and

2270
01:18:16,676 --> 01:18:16,942
power now and justice L.A.

2271
01:18:16,942 --> 01:18:18,177
Coalition.

2272
01:18:18,177 --> 01:18:19,177
This motion was necessary and

2273
01:18:19,177 --> 01:18:21,577
I thank supervisor mitchell

2274
01:18:23,150 --> 01:18:24,483
for bringing it forward.

2275
01:18:24,483 --> 01:18:26,180
Very clear joseph and maggie

2276
01:18:26,180 --> 01:18:28,418
have received their promotions

2277
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:29,856
but there's something really

2278
01:18:29,856 --> 01:18:30,456
nefarious about the

2279
01:18:30,456 --> 01:18:32,456
conversation about expanding

2280
01:18:33,580 --> 01:18:33,760
facilities.

2281
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:36,160
Expanding the facilities costs

2282
01:18:37,697 --> 01:18:39,498
billions of dollars.

2283
01:18:39,498 --> 01:18:42,498
Ml46789 housing and odr costs

2284
01:18:44,804 --> 01:18:47,204
a quarter the price.

2285
01:18:47,373 --> 01:18:50,973
When I hear them examining how

2286
01:18:52,450 --> 01:18:52,445
you need to buy it, what is $4

2287
01:18:52,445 --> 01:18:53,460
million buying us?

2288
01:18:53,460 --> 01:18:54,814
There's a press conference

2289
01:18:54,814 --> 01:18:55,848
tomorrow, representing 14 of

2290
01:18:55,848 --> 01:18:58,351
the families whose loved ones

2291
01:18:58,351 --> 01:19:00,751

2292
01:19:01,254 --> 01:19:02,922
$4 billion to lasu buys us

2293
01:19:02,922 --> 01:19:04,223
settlement after settlement.

2294
01:19:04,223 --> 01:19:06,893
We've never been in compliance

2295
01:19:06,893 --> 01:19:08,940
with doj lawsuit.

2296
01:19:08,940 --> 01:19:11,940
I hope we explore additional

2297
01:19:11,464 --> 01:19:12,320
options.

jail.

2310
01:19:40,659 --> 01:19:42,629
I'm here in support of

2311
01:19:42,629 --> 01:19:44,629
supervisor mitchell's motion

2312
01:19:44,798 --> 01:19:46,466

2314
01:19:48,901 --> 01:19:50,404
leadership and jail closure.

2315
01:19:50,404 --> 01:19:53,206
This is a moment to center the

2316
01:19:53,206 --> 01:19:56,206
experts that have been doing

2317
01:19:59,146 --> 01:20:01,146
this work.

2318
01:20:02,883 --> 01:20:04,284
You need to fully commit to

2319
01:20:04,284 --> 01:20:06,186
new jails and not replace,

2320
01:20:06,186 --> 01:20:09,186
other than thousands of multi

2321
01:20:19,166 --> 01:20:21,166
disciplinary beds.

2322
01:20:33,514 --> 01:20:34,114

01:20:35,782 --> 01:20:36,683
you, I'm calling to say thank

2325
01:20:36,683 --> 01:20:38,818
you supervisor mitchell for

2326
01:20:38,818 --> 01:20:40,818
raising this motion.

2327
01:20:41,188 --> 01:20:43,324
It is a shame we have to keep

2328
01:20:43,324 --> 01:20:44,525
raising motions to get this

2329
01:20:44,525 --> 01:20:46,525
jail closed.

2330
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:47,828
It's been over 5 years.

2331
01:20:47,828 --> 01:20:49,396
Odr is a program that is

2332
01:20:49,396 --> 01:20:50,897
proven to work.

2333
01:20:50,897 --> 01:20:52,199
It is a shame that they only

2334
01:20:52,199 --> 01:20:54,199
have 2,000 beds.

2335
01:20:54,769 --> 01:20:55,803
I just visited odr

2336
01:20:55,803 --> 01:20:56,637
transitional house and had a

2337
01:20:56,637 --> 01:21:00,237
meeting with the folks in that

2338
01:21:00,441 --> 01:21:01,842
house.

2339
01:21:01,842 --> 01:21:02,430
They have proven that they

2340
01:21:02,430 --> 01:21:04,430
work.

2341
01:21:04,944 --> 01:21:07,214
It is crazy to know the bos

2342
01:21:07,214 --> 01:21:08,716
doesn't know how jcit works.

2343
01:21:08,716 --> 01:21:10,117
Everyone kicking the can down

2344
01:21:10,117 --> 01:21:10,718
the road while everyone get

2345
01:21:10,718 --> 01:21:13,187
paid for the work they

2346
01:21:13,187 --> 01:21:14,689
supposed to be doing.

2347
01:21:14,689 --> 01:21:17,524
But our community members is

2348
01:21:17,524 --> 01:21:19,494
dying in the jail.

2349
01:21:19,494 --> 01:21:21,128
Will said that he takes it

2350
01:21:21,128 --> 01:21:21,762
personal by this happening.

2351
01:21:21,762 --> 01:21:22,963
everybody should be taking it

2352
01:21:22,963 --> 01:21:24,565
personal.

2353
01:21:24,565 --> 01:21:25,600
One way or another.

2354
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:26,700
We know that the jail is out

2355
01:21:26,700 --> 01:21:27,468
of compliance.

2356
01:21:27,468 --> 01:21:29,370
We know that it need to be

2357
01:21:29,370 --> 01:21:31,339
closed.

2358
01:21:31,339 --> 01:21:31,939
We know that we all should

2359
01:21:31,939 --> 01:21:32,974
feel compelled -- clique thank

2360
01:21:32,974 --> 01:21:34,974

2365

L.A.

2366
01:21:46,287 --> 01:21:47,388
The motion and stuff, to get

2367
01:21:47,388 --> 01:21:49,190
the health department more

2368
01:21:49,190 --> 01:21:50,358
involved in the leadership of

2369
01:21:50,358 --> 01:21:52,358
closing the jail.

2370
01:21:52,961 --> 01:21:55,129
We also heard that odr is

2371
01:21:55,129 --> 01:21:58,729
looking for funding for one of

2372
01:21:59,401 --> 01:22:00,201
their programs.

2373
01:22:00,201 --> 01:22:02,870
That falls on the board.

2374
01:22:02,870 --> 01:22:04,372
I know we keep hearing on the

2375
01:22:04,372 --> 01:22:06,107
budget on substance, the

2376
01:22:06,107 --> 01:22:07,909
federal and state things.

2377
01:22:07,909 --> 01:22:08,843
You know, somebody who never

2378
01:22:08,843 --> 01:22:11,843
struggles to find funding is

2379
01:22:13,480 --> 01:22:14,649
the sheriff's department.

2380
01:22:14,649 --> 01:22:17,649
Health department has to fight

2381
01:22:21,122 --> 01:22:22,891
for any extra funding.

2382
01:22:22,891 --> 01:22:23,859
They are so essential for the

2383
01:22:23,859 --> 01:22:26,859
health department as they step

2384
01:22:30,332 --> 01:22:32,332
up to leadership.

2385
01:22:32,334 --> 01:22:34,135
We know with all of the cases

2386
01:22:34,135 --> 01:22:35,102
that we brought up earlier,

2387
01:22:35,102 --> 01:22:36,671
there's more cases heard in

2388
01:22:36,671 --> 01:22:38,600
the courts.

2389
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:38,573
Not enough public defense.

2390
01:22:38,573 --> 01:22:39,908
>> asst. Executive officer:

2391
01:22:39,908 --> 01:22:41,908

I'm speaking in strong support

2398
01:22:57,192 --> 01:22:58,627
of item number 6.

2399
01:22:58,627 --> 01:23:00,627
True footprint reduction

2400
01:23:00,629 --> 01:23:02,263
requires shifting away from

2401
01:23:02,263 --> 01:23:04,663
punitive systems and centering

2402
01:23:04,700 --> 01:23:06,268
community based care bringing

diversion and lived experience

2414
01:23:25,354 --> 01:23:27,822
the county can safety scale

2415
01:23:27,822 --> 01:23:28,390
down the jail population

2416
01:23:28,390 --> 01:23:30,580
building out the necessary

2417
01:23:30,580 --> 01:23:31,894

2418
01:23:31,894 --> 01:23:35,964

care first california.

2472
01:25:16,333 --> 01:25:18,101
I want to thank supervisor

2473
01:25:18,101 --> 01:25:18,969
mitchell and her office for

2474
01:25:18,969 --> 01:25:20,370
taking direct action to get

2475
01:25:20,370 --> 01:25:22,370
this jail closed.

2476
01:25:40,490 --> 01:25:42,325
I had other things to

2477
01:25:42,325 --> 01:25:43,326
this is insane.

2478
01:25:43,326 --> 01:25:45,162
The responsibility of closing

2479
01:25:45,162 --> 01:25:45,695
the jail falls on the

2480
01:25:45,695 --> 01:25:47,695
supervisors, don't think

2481
01:25:48,398 --> 01:25:49,299
because jcit is here, leading

2482
01:25:49,299 --> 01:25:49,900
the plan, puts that

2483
01:25:49,900 --> 01:25:51,534
responsibility on them, it is

2484
01:25:51,534 --> 01:25:52,602
on you.

2485
01:25:52,602 --> 01:25:56,306
Don't take a back seat and try

2486
01:25:56,306 --> 01:25:56,706
to put it on will and jcit's

2487
01:25:56,706 --> 01:25:57,874
team, it's on you.

2488
01:25:57,874 --> 01:26:00,611
It is obvious that the

2489
01:26:00,611 --> 01:26:03,546
leadership in the ceo office

2490
01:26:03,546 --> 01:26:06,717
is in lock step with rochman

I support this measure, I

2499
01:26:19,629 --> 01:26:20,864
support the county holding

2500
01:26:20,864 --> 01:26:23,267

2502
01:26:24,501 --> 01:26:27,370
I want to thank supervisor

01:26:27,370 --> 01:26:27,538

2506
01:26:31,975 --> 01:26:34,244
However -- multi disciplinary

2507
01:26:34,244 --> 01:26:36,244
expertise.

2508
01:26:37,180 --> 01:26:37,714
What amounts to pennies

2509
01:26:37,714 --> 01:26:39,160
compared to the sheriff

2510
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:40,500
department is nonproductive.

2511
01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:42,500
Thor shidentify department

2512
01:26:43,621 --> 01:26:44,888
asks for $35 million for item

2513
01:26:44,888 --> 01:26:46,557
33 even they we already spend

2514
01:26:46,557 --> 01:26:48,920
millions at the end of every

single board meeting in

01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:51,495
settlements for the people

2517
01:26:51,495 --> 01:26:54,264
that they kill, they harm, and

2518
01:26:54,264 --> 01:26:56,664
that they sexually abuse.

2519
01:26:57,968 --> 01:27:00,671
Fund odr, close mcj, do so

2520
01:27:00,671 --> 01:27:01,704
without spending billions to

2521
01:27:01,704 --> 01:27:03,541
replacement by funding all

2522
01:27:03,541 --> 01:27:04,341
7jcit recommendations.

2523
01:27:04,341 --> 01:27:05,643
>> asst. Executive officer:

2524
01:27:05,643 --> 01:27:07,111
there are no other remote

2525
01:27:07,111 --> 01:27:08,450
speakers to address the board,

2526
01:27:08,450 --> 01:27:09,713
remote participation is

2527
01:27:09,713 --> 01:27:10,614
concluded for item 6.

2528
01:27:10,614 --> 01:27:13,984
We will go to in person

2529
01:27:13,984 --> 01:27:14,685
speaker, please begin.

2530
01:27:14,685 --> 01:27:17,850
>> in-person speaker: hi, good

2531
01:27:17,870 --> 01:27:20,591
morning, so I was trying to

2532
01:27:20,591 --> 01:27:21,559
get MR. Guillermo vieira rosa,

2533
01:27:21,559 --> 01:27:22,927
that should be added to this

2534
01:27:22,927 --> 01:27:24,162
panel.

2535
01:27:24,162 --> 01:27:25,563
First and foremost if you want

2536
01:27:25,563 --> 01:27:26,430
to shut off men's central jail

2537
01:27:26,430 --> 01:27:27,765
you would have done it a long

2538
01:27:27,765 --> 01:27:29,433
time ago.

2539
01:27:29,433 --> 01:27:31,433
There's no oversight

2540
01:27:32,403 --> 01:27:35,273
especially dmh, MS. Wong, saw

2541
01:27:35,273 --> 01:27:36,440
DR. Jan is and sharon, it

2542
01:27:36,440 --> 01:27:37,908
reminded me fighters for

2543
01:27:37,908 --> 01:27:39,277
directors of dmh and people

2544
01:27:39,277 --> 01:27:40,544
who sit there.

2545
01:27:40,544 --> 01:27:41,913
There are a lot of

2546
01:27:41,913 --> 01:27:43,480
misappropriation of funding,

2547
01:27:43,480 --> 01:27:45,216
because there's no oversight.

2548
01:27:45,216 --> 01:27:46,317
One of the things I want to

2549
01:27:46,317 --> 01:27:47,719
address is the behaviors of

2550
01:27:47,719 --> 01:27:49,719
the probation officers.

2551
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:51,456
they have a big stake in how

2552
01:27:51,456 --> 01:27:52,256
somebody rehabilitates when

2553
01:27:52,256 --> 01:27:53,691
they go in there and how they

2554
01:27:53,691 --> 01:27:55,691
come out.

2555
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:56,360
You don't need more beds, you

2556
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,363
need mental health training

2557
01:27:58,363 --> 01:27:59,931
with the off serbs.

2558
01:27:59,931 --> 01:28:01,366
Not blaming everyone, some

2559
01:28:01,366 --> 01:28:02,100
people have more mental health

2560
01:28:02,100 --> 01:28:03,768
issues than the people

2561
01:28:03,768 --> 01:28:05,102
incarcerated.

2562
01:28:05,102 --> 01:28:07,539
You are not doing oversight

2563
01:28:07,539 --> 01:28:09,207
enough to really see that.

2564
01:28:09,207 --> 01:28:11,209
As ply son has been through

2565
01:28:11,209 --> 01:28:11,810
the system, I can tell you

2566
01:28:11,810 --> 01:28:13,770
it's not catered to black and

2567
01:28:13,770 --> 01:28:14,579
brown.

2568
01:28:14,579 --> 01:28:16,146
Everybody do your job, close

2569
01:28:16,146 --> 01:28:16,747
men's central jail.

2570
01:28:16,747 --> 01:28:17,470
>> asst. Executive officer:

2571
01:28:17,470 --> 01:28:18,483
thank you.

2572
01:28:18,483 --> 01:28:21,520
That concludes the time for

2573
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:21,653
public comment on item 6.

2574
01:28:21,653 --> 01:28:22,854

on the consent calendar items,

2602
01:28:55,454 --> 01:28:57,356
the items to approve, we're

2603
01:28:57,356 --> 01:28:59,691
going to exclude item 23 due

2604
01:28:59,691 --> 01:29:00,726
to the inability to obtain a

2605
01:29:00,726 --> 01:29:02,994
quorum of qualified members.

2606
01:29:02,994 --> 01:29:05,300
This item is going to be

2607
01:29:05,300 --> 01:29:07,300
administratively carried over

2608

by the executive office.

Paired with the absence of

We will now move on to item 9

2673
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,802
which is establishing a -- to

2678

feasibility of a county office

2679
01:31:14,827 --> 01:31:16,827
of gender equity.

2680
01:31:17,697 --> 01:31:20,333
As we know a gap in this space

2681
01:31:20,333 --> 01:31:22,535
since the sunset of women and

2682
01:31:22,535 --> 01:31:24,738
girls in 2024 and spent time

2683
01:31:24,738 --> 01:31:25,705
what next phase of work should

2684
01:31:25,705 --> 01:31:27,705
look like.

2685
01:31:28,575 --> 01:31:30,910
Earlier this year gender

2686
01:31:30,910 --> 01:31:33,310
assessment program was honored

2687
01:31:34,130 --> 01:31:36,130
with 2026 city's globe

2688
01:31:37,217 --> 01:31:39,652
leadership award by the U.N.

2689
01:31:39,652 --> 01:31:43,890
I was honored to be part of the

2690
01:31:43,890 --> 01:31:45,392
team that accepted this award on

2691
01:31:45,392 --> 01:31:48,294
behalf of the county and had

2692
01:31:48,294 --> 01:31:50,130
part to speak with our leaders

2693
01:31:50,130 --> 01:31:52,132
in this space from across the

2694
01:31:52,132 --> 01:31:54,634
country and around the world.

2695
01:31:54,634 --> 01:31:55,868
Inspired more thinking of how we

2696
01:31:55,868 --> 01:31:58,868
can and should do more

2697
01:31:59,505 --> 01:32:02,675
especially in a time that women,

2698
01:32:02,675 --> 01:32:04,744
transgender and gender expansive

2699
01:32:04,744 --> 01:32:06,513
and nonconforming continue to

2700
01:32:06,513 --> 01:32:08,248
face attack on our rights,

2701
01:32:08,248 --> 01:32:09,616
health care and safety.

2702
01:32:09,616 --> 01:32:11,384
Los angeles county is one of the

2703
01:32:11,384 --> 01:32:11,584
largest local governments in the

2704
01:32:11,584 --> 01:32:13,584
world.

2705
01:32:14,540 --> 01:32:15,455
The decisions we make affect

2706
01:32:15,455 --> 01:32:17,190
millions of people but inspire

2707
01:32:17,190 --> 01:32:19,190
billions more.

2708
01:32:21,261 --> 01:32:24,861
That gives us both an enormous

2709
01:32:26,265 --> 01:32:27,968
responsibility and enormous

2710
01:32:27,968 --> 01:32:30,368
opportunity to lead, this

2711
01:32:30,437 --> 01:32:32,606
program has given us a strong

2712
01:32:32,606 --> 01:32:34,875
foundation but for too long the

2713
01:32:34,875 --> 01:32:36,477
gender work is siloed.

2714
01:32:36,477 --> 01:32:37,710
And without equity responsible

2715
01:32:37,710 --> 01:32:40,110
for coordinating and advancing

2716
01:32:41,215 --> 01:32:43,383
this work, that makes it harder

2717
01:32:43,383 --> 01:32:44,851
to collaborate strategically and

2718
01:32:44,851 --> 01:32:46,153
leverage resources and build on

2719
01:32:46,153 --> 01:32:48,153
what is working.

2720
01:32:48,755 --> 01:32:49,523
An office of gender equity would

2721
01:32:49,523 --> 01:32:51,523
help change that.

2722
01:32:53,193 --> 01:32:54,995
Work across all of our county

2723
01:32:54,995 --> 01:32:56,496
departments bringing subject

2724
01:32:56,496 --> 01:32:58,980
matter expertise and helping

2725
01:32:58,980 --> 01:33:00,498
align existing programs and

2726
01:33:00,934 --> 01:33:02,536
services and initiatives around

2727
01:33:02,536 --> 01:33:04,438
gender equity.

2728
01:33:04,438 --> 01:33:06,390
Most importantly make this a

2729
01:33:06,390 --> 01:33:09,390
sustained part of how los

2730
01:33:09,176 --> 01:33:11,445
angeles county operates, not a

2731
01:33:11,445 --> 01:33:13,581
short-term effort, this work

2732
01:33:13,581 --> 01:33:15,581
requires sustained leadership

2733
01:33:16,650 --> 01:33:18,619
and long-term investment and the

2734
01:33:18,619 --> 01:33:19,854
courage to redesign systems so

2735
01:33:19,854 --> 01:33:21,288
they work for everyone.

2736
01:33:21,288 --> 01:33:23,390
I heard from advocates and

2737
01:33:23,390 --> 01:33:24,959
community members throughout the

2738
01:33:24,959 --> 01:33:27,762
county who believe that this

2739
01:33:27,762 --> 01:33:28,496
office is needed and that the

2740
01:33:28,496 --> 01:33:30,131
work matters.

2741
01:33:30,131 --> 01:33:31,832
I agree with them.

2742
01:33:31,832 --> 01:33:32,600
And thank the advocates and

2743
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:34,702
program staff and everyone

2744
01:33:34,702 --> 01:33:35,970
across the county that have

2745
01:33:35,970 --> 01:33:38,439
championed this work for years.

2746
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:39,574
I see your efforts.

2747
01:33:39,574 --> 01:33:41,142
I am incredibly grateful for

2748
01:33:41,142 --> 01:33:44,742
your leadership and I am excited

2749
01:33:45,213 --> 01:33:48,449
what we can continue to build

2750
01:33:48,449 --> 01:33:49,216
together, thank you.

2751
01:33:49,216 --> 01:33:51,616
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

2752
01:33:51,619 --> 01:33:53,540
thank you supervisor mitchell.

2753
01:33:53,540 --> 01:33:54,422
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: thank

2754
01:33:54,422 --> 01:33:55,423
you very much MADAM Chair and

2755
01:33:55,423 --> 01:33:57,157
thank you to my colleague for

2756
01:33:57,157 --> 01:33:59,157
elevating this issue.

2757
01:34:01,195 --> 01:34:04,795
I was proud in 2021 to co-author

2758
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,368
the county ordinance on cda, and

2759
01:34:07,368 --> 01:34:08,536
felt appropriate given the

2760
01:34:08,536 --> 01:34:11,536
composition of this board itself

2761
01:34:13,700 --> 01:34:15,543
that we step up to the plate.

2762
01:34:15,543 --> 01:34:16,978
I do want to elevate an issue

2763
01:34:16,978 --> 01:34:18,313
and bring forward an amendment

2764
01:34:18,313 --> 01:34:19,781
and hoping that the author will

2765
01:34:19,781 --> 01:34:21,182
be open to it.

2766
01:34:21,182 --> 01:34:23,351
This is really important work

2767
01:34:23,351 --> 01:34:25,751
that goes without saying.

2768
01:34:26,454 --> 01:34:29,124
At the same time I have concerns

2769
01:34:29,124 --> 01:34:31,524
about potentially establishing a

2770
01:34:31,659 --> 01:34:33,261
new county office given the

2771
01:34:33,261 --> 01:34:34,996
current fiscal health or lack

2772
01:34:34,996 --> 01:34:37,198
thereof and financial challenges

2773
01:34:37,198 --> 01:34:38,600
facing the county as a whole as

2774
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:38,833
well as the department of public

2775
01:34:38,833 --> 01:34:40,833
health.

2776
01:34:41,202 --> 01:34:43,371
Which was named as one of the

2777
01:34:43,371 --> 01:34:44,205
lead departments for the report

2778
01:34:44,205 --> 01:34:45,173
back.

2779
01:34:45,173 --> 01:34:46,607
Last year alone the department

2780
01:34:46,607 --> 01:34:49,811
of public health faced more, and

2781
01:34:49,811 --> 01:34:52,447
I think this is a conservative

2782
01:34:52,447 --> 01:34:53,448
number, $60 million of

2783
01:34:53,448 --> 01:34:55,448
extraordinary fiscal challenges

2784
01:34:55,549 --> 01:34:57,519
due to federal reductions and

2785
01:34:57,519 --> 01:34:59,121
labor costs and disaster and

2786
01:34:59,121 --> 01:35:01,189
disease and outbreak expenses.

2787
01:35:01,189 --> 01:35:03,240
I know they are proposing to tap

2788
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:04,860
into the emergency funding this

2789
01:35:04,860 --> 01:35:05,961
board passed to make available

2790
01:35:05,961 --> 01:35:07,929
to that department.

2791
01:35:07,929 --> 01:35:10,231
So as resources become strained,

2792
01:35:10,231 --> 01:35:12,234
I think we need to be thoughtful

2793
01:35:12,234 --> 01:35:13,201
about what additional

2794
01:35:13,201 --> 01:35:14,803
responsibilities we're asking

2795
01:35:14,803 --> 01:35:17,172
departments to take on when they

2796
01:35:17,172 --> 01:35:19,410
are having to leave some of

2797
01:35:19,410 --> 01:35:19,574
their current work kind of on

2798
01:35:19,574 --> 01:35:21,574
the table.

2799
01:35:21,643 --> 01:35:22,811
And so before we move towards

2800
01:35:22,811 --> 01:35:24,111
establishing a new office i

2801
01:35:24,111 --> 01:35:26,415
would like for us to first have

2802
01:35:26,415 --> 01:35:27,783
a clear understanding of what

2803
01:35:27,783 --> 01:35:30,183
already exists across the

2804
01:35:30,351 --> 01:35:31,954
county, included in the report

2805
01:35:31,954 --> 01:35:34,220
back, but also be really clear

2806
01:35:34,220 --> 01:35:35,457
if we're going to create a new

2807
01:35:35,457 --> 01:35:37,392
office, ask a department to fund

2808
01:35:37,392 --> 01:35:39,610
it with existing resources.

2809
01:35:39,610 --> 01:35:40,828
We need to be clear what work

2810
01:35:40,828 --> 01:35:42,164
they are currently doing that

2811
01:35:42,164 --> 01:35:45,634
they will have to stop in order

2812
01:35:45,634 --> 01:35:47,803
to do the new work we're asking

2813
01:35:47,803 --> 01:35:49,803
of them.

2814
01:35:50,172 --> 01:35:52,641
It was my understanding that

2815
01:35:52,641 --> 01:35:53,842
based on the recommendation from

2816
01:35:53,842 --> 01:35:56,378
the former commission that a

2817
01:35:56,378 --> 01:35:59,114
number of departments across the

2818
01:35:59,114 --> 01:35:59,314
county are doing some of the

2819
01:35:59,314 --> 01:36:01,314
work.

2820
01:36:02,170 --> 01:36:04,620
They are doing some gender

2821
01:36:04,620 --> 01:36:05,187
equity work, there MAY be

2822
01:36:05,187 --> 01:36:07,187
opportunities to better

2823
01:36:08,524 --> 01:36:09,859
coordinate those efforts,

2824
01:36:09,859 --> 01:36:11,126
address gaps and leverage

2825
01:36:11,126 --> 01:36:11,460
infrastructure before creating a

2826
01:36:11,460 --> 01:36:13,460
new office.

2827
01:36:14,764 --> 01:36:16,298
For that reason I would like to

2828
01:36:16,298 --> 01:36:19,898
introduce an amendment and as f

2829
01:36:19,902 --> 01:36:22,380
in frank that says that the

2830
01:36:22,380 --> 01:36:23,380
report back should include

2831
01:36:23,380 --> 01:36:24,907
comprehensive assessment of

2832
01:36:24,907 --> 01:36:26,907
county departments, initiatives

2833
01:36:27,677 --> 01:36:29,211
and staff engaged in gender

2834
01:36:29,211 --> 01:36:30,479
equity efforts in order to

2835
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,879
identify and document existing

2836
01:36:35,318 --> 01:36:36,385
work and gaps across the county.

2837
01:36:36,385 --> 01:36:37,190
That would be my proposed

2838
01:36:37,190 --> 01:36:39,190
amendment.

2839
01:36:39,121 --> 01:36:41,858
Just asking that we pause,

2840
01:36:41,858 --> 01:36:44,930
understand what is happening,

2841
01:36:44,930 --> 01:36:46,930
identify the gaps.

2842
01:36:47,463 --> 01:36:49,980
That would help clarify for us

2843
01:36:49,980 --> 01:36:51,134
what work needs to be done to

2844
01:36:51,134 --> 01:36:51,634
determine if an office needs to

2845
01:36:51,634 --> 01:36:53,468
be established.

2846
01:36:53,468 --> 01:36:55,905
And also to figure out where the

2847
01:36:55,905 --> 01:36:57,720
resources coming from and

2848
01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:58,374
potentially what work would end

2849
01:36:58,374 --> 01:37:01,974
in order to fund that work.

2850
01:37:02,545 --> 01:37:02,845
That would be my ask of the

2851
01:37:02,845 --> 01:37:03,413
board.

2852
01:37:03,413 --> 01:37:04,112
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

01:37:04,112 --> 01:37:06,512
thank you supervisor mitchell,

01:37:13,690 --> 01:37:16,659
ceo's office and staff and

2857
01:37:16,659 --> 01:37:19,659
resources asteined dph why we

2858
01:37:19,696 --> 01:37:20,163
were directing them to continue

2859
01:37:20,163 --> 01:37:22,163
that work.

2860
01:37:24,534 --> 01:37:28,138
And spoken with cw akitta of how

2861
01:37:28,138 --> 01:37:29,939
we see this work advancing and

2862
01:37:29,939 --> 01:37:32,541
looking to them to steward the

2863
01:37:32,541 --> 01:37:33,709
report back to us and he had

2864
01:37:33,709 --> 01:37:33,943
questions along the same line

2865
01:37:33,943 --> 01:37:35,943
you did.

2866
01:37:36,379 --> 01:37:39,316
And what you are be asking is

2867
01:37:39,316 --> 01:37:41,217
intended by the motion, and if

2868
01:37:41,217 --> 01:37:44,217
spelling it out does help

2869
01:37:44,654 --> 01:37:45,255
receptive of to that.

2870
01:37:45,255 --> 01:37:47,900
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: I

2871
01:37:47,900 --> 01:37:49,590

done before the office

2873
01:37:52,395 --> 01:37:53,196
established, appreciate you

2874
01:37:53,196 --> 01:37:55,196
accepting the amendment.

2875
01:37:55,999 --> 01:37:56,632
Thank you MADAM Chair.

2876
01:37:56,632 --> 01:37:58,334
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair: I

2878
01:38:00,904 --> 01:38:04,504
it's very important and I worked

2879
01:38:05,208 --> 01:38:06,308
years to establish the women and

2880
01:38:06,308 --> 01:38:08,708
girl's initiatives and something

2881
01:38:08,978 --> 01:38:11,448
that sheila and I worked on.

2882
01:38:11,448 --> 01:38:14,448
No more questions from the

2883
01:38:17,187 --> 01:38:18,921

2884
01:38:18,921 --> 01:38:20,921
>> moderator: the following

2885
01:38:21,224 --> 01:38:23,624
individuals come, roy humphreys

2886
01:38:26,930 --> 01:38:27,664
your line is open, please begin.

2887
01:38:27,664 --> 01:38:29,664
>> telephone speaker: absurd

2888
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:31,735
that you waste our time and

2889
01:38:31,735 --> 01:38:33,537
energy and this los angeles

2890
01:38:33,537 --> 01:38:36,537
department, look at numbers, you

2891
01:38:36,740 --> 01:38:39,143
are broken, you are bankrupt in

2892
01:38:39,143 --> 01:38:39,409
more things called ethics and

2893
01:38:39,409 --> 01:38:41,409
morality.

2894
01:38:42,246 --> 01:38:45,148
If you want to find out what

2895
01:38:45,148 --> 01:38:46,784
equity, you use this word equity

2896
01:38:46,784 --> 01:38:47,484
and I would never suggest that

2897
01:38:47,484 --> 01:38:49,484
anybody is stupid.

2898
01:38:52,756 --> 01:38:53,800
But this goes in line with this

2899
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,800
democrat

2900
01:38:55,759 --> 01:38:57,194
democrat garbage that we are all

2901
01:38:57,194 --> 01:38:59,463
subjected to and abused by and

2902
01:38:59,463 --> 01:39:02,566
you are abusing the people of

2903
01:39:02,566 --> 01:39:05,566
this county and the resources,

2904
01:39:07,538 --> 01:39:09,974
so limited resources that we

2905
01:39:09,974 --> 01:39:10,808
have, to say that you are

2906
01:39:10,808 --> 01:39:11,875
disgusting that is giving you

2907
01:39:11,875 --> 01:39:13,710
too much credit.

2908
01:39:13,710 --> 01:39:16,110
You should be removed.

2909
01:39:19,950 --> 01:39:20,318
The four democrats should resign

2910
01:39:20,318 --> 01:39:22,318
immediately.

2911
01:39:22,586 --> 01:39:24,986
>> moderator: thank you, MADAM

2912
01:39:24,989 --> 01:39:27,989
Chair no more remote speakers,

2913
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:30,261
go to in-person speakers, please

2914
01:39:30,261 --> 01:39:31,395
begin.

2915
01:39:31,395 --> 01:39:33,395
>> in-person speaker: good

2916
01:39:37,201 --> 01:39:40,201
morning claudia, dpsdwc, I have

2917
01:39:41,539 --> 01:39:44,539
to say something brief about

2918
01:39:46,444 --> 01:39:48,846
this I am a formalize person at

2919
01:39:48,846 --> 01:39:49,913
the center and we have a high

2920
01:39:49,913 --> 01:39:52,313
number of individuals identify

2921
01:39:53,217 --> 01:39:54,180
as gender and I work along with

2922
01:39:54,180 --> 01:39:55,586
them.

2923
01:39:55,586 --> 01:39:57,586
As staff.

2924
01:40:00,124 --> 01:40:02,760
And I understand a lot of the

2925
01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:03,728
struggles that gender identity

2926
01:40:03,728 --> 01:40:05,728
people go through.

2927
01:40:06,564 --> 01:40:07,599
I think it is necessary to make

2928
01:40:07,599 --> 01:40:10,599
an assessment what is working

2929
01:40:10,768 --> 01:40:13,768
and what is not working.

2930
01:40:14,139 --> 01:40:15,840
So that you would be able to

2931
01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:18,240
appropriately put the resources

2932
01:40:19,811 --> 01:40:24,110
in place for that, I do believe

2933
01:40:24,683 --> 01:40:28,883
there is a need to have support

2934
01:40:29,187 --> 01:40:33,190
into you know a feel that you

2935
01:40:33,190 --> 01:40:35,460
are part of a community.

2936
01:40:35,460 --> 01:40:35,694
>> moderator: next speaker

2937
01:40:35,694 --> 01:40:37,694
please.

2938
01:40:38,129 --> 01:40:40,431
>> in-person speaker: DR. Truth,

2939
01:40:40,431 --> 01:40:41,533
I am a policy analyst for the

2940
01:40:41,533 --> 01:40:43,969
U.N., this is very important and

2941
01:40:43,969 --> 01:40:45,837
proud of this agenda as a woman.

2942
01:40:45,837 --> 01:40:47,505
Attending the commission of the

2943
01:40:47,505 --> 01:40:49,908
status of women this past MARCH,

2944
01:40:49,908 --> 01:40:52,430
you talked about the violence

2945
01:40:52,430 --> 01:40:54,111
against women and not only this

2946
01:40:54,111 --> 01:40:56,111
country but globally.

2947
01:40:57,649 --> 01:40:59,251
I am really proud that you

2948
01:40:59,251 --> 01:41:01,219
bring, and supervisor horvath

2949
01:41:01,219 --> 01:41:01,619
bringing this to light, what is

2950
01:41:01,619 --> 01:41:03,619
needed.

2951
01:41:03,621 --> 01:41:05,223
anyone that identifies as a

2952
01:41:05,223 --> 01:41:08,360
woman, whatever the case MAY be,

2953
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:09,600
that they are protected by all

2954
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:11,600
costs.

2955
01:41:11,530 --> 01:41:14,199
A lot of women in skid row, a

2956
01:41:14,199 --> 01:41:15,901
lot of them live in tents and

2957
01:41:15,901 --> 01:41:16,101
removed or subject to rape every

2958
01:41:16,101 --> 01:41:18,101
night.

2959
01:41:18,103 --> 01:41:22,303
This is a major issue and we

2960
01:41:22,374 --> 01:41:24,275
issue asking for this board that

2961
01:41:24,275 --> 01:41:26,440
this agency created and address

2962
01:41:26,440 --> 01:41:27,746
and women that suffering through

2963
01:41:27,746 --> 01:41:28,800
domestic violence to be

2964
01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:30,800
protected.

2965
01:41:30,215 --> 01:41:32,884
Bravo to this agenda and look

2966
01:41:32,884 --> 01:41:33,218
forward to see it through its

2967
01:41:33,218 --> 01:41:35,218
fruition.

2968
01:41:36,354 --> 01:41:38,354
Great job --

2994

>> sup. Janice hahn: thank you

2995
01:42:40,352 --> 01:42:43,952
MADAM Chair, horvath is my co-.

2996
01:42:44,900 --> 01:42:47,690
Over the past years we have

2997
01:42:48,861 --> 01:42:52,164
built hard to build up L.A.

2998
01:42:52,164 --> 01:42:54,767
County system and mental health

2999
01:42:54,767 --> 01:42:56,635
respond to crisis rather than

3000
01:42:56,635 --> 01:42:56,936
relying on armed law

3001
01:42:56,936 --> 01:42:58,936
enforcement.

3002
01:43:00,206 --> 01:43:03,543
And we have expanded the mental

3003
01:43:03,543 --> 01:43:04,444
response teams and have 71 teams

3004
01:43:04,444 --> 01:43:05,211
operating around the clock seven

3005
01:43:05,211 --> 01:43:07,211
days a week.

3006
01:43:07,313 --> 01:43:10,913
And the data shows it's working

3007
01:43:11,517 --> 01:43:15,554
and at the same that calls to

3008
01:43:15,554 --> 01:43:16,456
988, that have gone up, calls to

3009
01:43:16,456 --> 01:43:17,556
law enforcement that relate to

3010
01:43:17,556 --> 01:43:20,160
mental health issues have gone

3011
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,829
down and arrests have dropped by

3012
01:43:22,829 --> 01:43:24,829
almost 25%.

3013
01:43:28,802 --> 01:43:30,136
This is encouraging data about

3014
01:43:30,136 --> 01:43:31,338
our mental health crisis team

3015
01:43:31,338 --> 01:43:33,206
still takes too long to respond

3016
01:43:33,206 --> 01:43:34,407
to the calls.

3017
01:43:34,407 --> 01:43:36,376
One.

3018
01:43:36,376 --> 01:43:38,845
Of the reasons that our response

3019
01:43:38,845 --> 01:43:41,681
time is so high that our teams

3020
01:43:41,681 --> 01:43:44,810
spend 1,000 hours every month

3021
01:43:45,510 --> 01:43:47,451
responding to local emergency

3022
01:43:49,222 --> 01:43:52,222
rooms where they authorize 51-50

3023
01:43:53,793 --> 01:43:55,629
holds, 51-50 holds is one

3024
01:43:55,629 --> 01:43:57,197
experiencing a mental health

3025
01:43:57,197 --> 01:44:00,267
crisis is to be at danger to

3026
01:44:00,267 --> 01:44:03,203
themselves and others and placed

3027
01:44:03,203 --> 01:44:05,603
on a 72-hour hold.

3028
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:10,240
And doctors have been authorized

3029
01:44:10,577 --> 01:44:12,846
to 51-50 to their patients and

3030
01:44:12,846 --> 01:44:14,714
private hospitals across the

3031
01:44:14,714 --> 01:44:15,150
county where the doctors are not

3032
01:44:15,150 --> 01:44:17,150
authorized.

3033
01:44:17,251 --> 01:44:18,418
This means that one of the 35

3034
01:44:18,418 --> 01:44:20,120
hospitals has a patient in

3035
01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,623
danger to themselves or others

3036
01:44:22,623 --> 01:44:23,290
they call our county response

3037
01:44:23,290 --> 01:44:25,290
teams.

3038
01:44:25,592 --> 01:44:27,728
To initiate the 51-50 hold.

3039
01:44:27,728 --> 01:44:28,429
This has been a huge drain on

3040
01:44:28,429 --> 01:44:29,863
our resources.

3041
01:44:29,863 --> 01:44:32,532
It would benefit everyone if

3042
01:44:32,532 --> 01:44:34,334
more of these noncounty

3043
01:44:34,334 --> 01:44:36,734
hospitals were authorized to

3044
01:44:36,770 --> 01:44:37,710
conduct psychiatric holds

3045
01:44:37,710 --> 01:44:39,710
themselves.

3046
01:44:39,440 --> 01:44:42,176
Our crisis teams could focus on

3047
01:44:42,176 --> 01:44:44,912
what they were designed to do,

3048
01:44:44,912 --> 01:44:46,647
respond to crisis out of the

3049
01:44:46,647 --> 01:44:47,948
communities and er patients

3050
01:44:47,948 --> 01:44:49,583
evaluated more quickly by

3051
01:44:49,583 --> 01:44:49,783
hospital staff right then and

3052
01:44:49,783 --> 01:44:51,783
there.

3053
01:44:52,753 --> 01:44:54,655
And thanks to a new state law

3054
01:44:54,655 --> 01:44:57,550
this is now possible.

3055
01:45:00,461 --> 01:45:03,461
Emergency room officials are now

3056
01:45:03,497 --> 01:45:06,700
eligible to be trained by our

3057
01:45:06,700 --> 01:45:09,700
department of mental health to

3058
01:45:11,539 --> 01:45:13,939
conduct those 51-50 holds.

3059
01:45:14,675 --> 01:45:17,675
That's what this will do,

3060
01:45:19,130 --> 01:45:22,613
imelement a pilot with top er's

3061
01:45:23,217 --> 01:45:25,319
to train physicians at these

3062
01:45:25,319 --> 01:45:28,319
hospitals to conduct 51-50 holds

3063
01:45:28,756 --> 01:45:30,324
by the end of this year.

3064
01:45:30,324 --> 01:45:32,724
For everyone's information the

3065
01:45:34,528 --> 01:45:36,564
top hospitals are paloma,

3066
01:45:36,564 --> 01:45:39,564
providence st. John's in santa

3067
01:45:40,340 --> 01:45:43,400
monica, uci health in lakewood.

3068
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:45,239
And mary medical center in

3069
01:45:45,239 --> 01:45:46,107
torrance and ucla west valley

3070
01:45:46,107 --> 01:45:48,107
medical center.

3071
01:45:48,643 --> 01:45:52,843
And the motion asked for a plan

3072
01:45:52,980 --> 01:45:55,850
to expand the pilot beyond the

3073
01:45:55,850 --> 01:45:58,185
five highest utilizers and by

3074
01:45:58,185 --> 01:45:59,520
2027, all noncounty,

3075
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:01,920
nonauthorized hospitals in los

3076
01:46:05,226 --> 01:46:06,393
angeles county can have er

3077
01:46:06,393 --> 01:46:08,429
physicians trained to conduct

3078
01:46:08,429 --> 01:46:10,640
51-50 holds.

3079
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:12,660
I have high hopes for the

3080
01:46:12,660 --> 01:46:14,135
program and free up our county

3081
01:46:14,135 --> 01:46:16,571
response team to focus on

3082
01:46:16,571 --> 01:46:17,739
emergencies on the streets or in

3083
01:46:17,739 --> 01:46:20,241
people's homes where people are

3084
01:46:20,241 --> 01:46:22,711
more vulnerable and at risk of

3085
01:46:22,711 --> 01:46:24,979
harming themselves or others.

3086
01:46:24,979 --> 01:46:27,549
Im looking forward to see the

3087
01:46:27,549 --> 01:46:28,683
outcome of this pilot program

3088
01:46:28,683 --> 01:46:30,552
and expansion of eligible

3089
01:46:30,552 --> 01:46:32,921
hospitals so that our county

3090
01:46:32,921 --> 01:46:34,322
teams can focus on responding

3091
01:46:34,322 --> 01:46:36,722
quickly to community crisis.

3092
01:46:36,892 --> 01:46:39,892
Because we know many times

3093
01:46:40,829 --> 01:46:43,829
minutes is what matters when

3094
01:46:46,434 --> 01:46:48,136
someone is having a mental

3095
01:46:48,136 --> 01:46:49,971
health crisis and emergency room

3096
01:46:49,971 --> 01:46:51,840
patients can have the support

3097
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:53,840
they need.

3098
01:46:55,544 --> 01:46:58,544
Thank you supervisor horvath for

3099
01:46:59,514 --> 01:47:00,148
being co-author.

3100
01:47:00,148 --> 01:47:02,548
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: thank

3101
01:47:04,353 --> 01:47:07,389
you supervisor hanh and you are

3102
01:47:07,389 --> 01:47:10,580
passionate in this topic and

3103
01:47:10,580 --> 01:47:13,580
expect my strong support for

3104
01:47:14,329 --> 01:47:15,664
ab416 and what it can mean for

3105
01:47:15,664 --> 01:47:17,664
people experiencing behavioral

3106
01:47:18,700 --> 01:47:21,170
health crisis across the county.

3107
01:47:21,170 --> 01:47:22,437
And every day people

3108
01:47:22,437 --> 01:47:24,437
experiencing mental health

3109
01:47:24,573 --> 01:47:27,543
crises arrive at emergency rooms

3110
01:47:27,543 --> 01:47:30,543
and the physician standing at

3111
01:47:30,679 --> 01:47:33,790
the patient bedside has

3112
01:47:33,215 --> 01:47:35,615
evaluated the individual and

3113
01:47:35,918 --> 01:47:36,285
understands their medical

3114
01:47:36,285 --> 01:47:38,285
condition.

3115
01:47:38,988 --> 01:47:41,988
And understands what is next,

3116
01:47:43,225 --> 01:47:43,792
but MAY not be aware of

3117
01:47:43,792 --> 01:47:45,792
landerman-petris-short act

3118
01:47:47,529 --> 01:47:50,529
necessary to a voluntary hold.

3119
01:47:50,966 --> 01:47:53,535
Ab460 gives an opportunity to

3120
01:47:53,535 --> 01:47:55,371
change that, we can empower

3121
01:47:55,371 --> 01:47:57,371
appropriately trained physicians

3122
01:47:58,507 --> 01:47:59,542
already at the patient's bedside

3123
01:47:59,542 --> 01:48:03,142
to act when someone meets the

3124
01:48:03,579 --> 01:48:05,214
legal criteria for involuntary

3125
01:48:05,214 --> 01:48:07,214
evaluation and treatment.

3126
01:48:07,917 --> 01:48:09,251
Our emergency departments face

3127
01:48:09,251 --> 01:48:11,651
tremendous pressures and when

3128
01:48:12,488 --> 01:48:13,122
someone is experiencing a crisis

3129
01:48:13,122 --> 01:48:13,455
unnecessary delays affect

3130
01:48:13,455 --> 01:48:14,189
everyone.

3131
01:48:14,189 --> 01:48:15,825
The patient.

3132
01:48:15,825 --> 01:48:17,193
Their family.

3133
01:48:17,193 --> 01:48:19,193
Hospital staff.

3134
01:48:20,429 --> 01:48:22,231
First responders and other

3135
01:48:22,231 --> 01:48:23,532
patients waiting for emergency

3136
01:48:23,532 --> 01:48:25,532
car.

3137
01:48:25,668 --> 01:48:27,937
Ab416 can help reduce those

3138
01:48:27,937 --> 01:48:30,337
delays and improve coordination

3139
01:48:30,740 --> 01:48:32,508
of hospitals and make better use

3140
01:48:32,508 --> 01:48:33,876
of highly trained medical

3141
01:48:33,876 --> 01:48:35,677
professionals who are already

3142
01:48:35,677 --> 01:48:38,770
caring for those patients.

3143
01:48:38,147 --> 01:48:39,615
And also reduce unnecessary

3144
01:48:39,615 --> 01:48:41,551
reliance on psychiatric mobile

3145
01:48:41,551 --> 01:48:43,551
response teams.

3146
01:48:43,886 --> 01:48:45,221
When an individual is already

3147
01:48:45,221 --> 01:48:46,589
safely inside of an emergency

3148
01:48:46,589 --> 01:48:48,424
department and being evaluated

3149
01:48:48,424 --> 01:48:51,424
by a qualified physician, we

3150
01:48:54,697 --> 01:48:55,965
shouldn't need to take a

3151
01:48:55,965 --> 01:48:57,700
psychiatric mobile response team

3152
01:48:57,700 --> 01:48:59,936
away to bring them back into the

3153
01:48:59,936 --> 01:49:01,771
hospitals because of a gap in

3154
01:49:01,771 --> 01:49:03,706
lps designation authority.

3155
01:49:03,706 --> 01:49:06,375
This is where government gets in

3156
01:49:06,375 --> 01:49:07,210
its own way and we have a common

3157
01:49:07,210 --> 01:49:09,610
sense solution before us.

3158
01:49:09,712 --> 01:49:13,312
However the goal of ab416 should

3159
01:49:14,917 --> 01:49:17,219
not be more holds and

3160
01:49:17,219 --> 01:49:19,219
involuntarily detention involves

3161
01:49:19,489 --> 01:49:21,489
civil liberties.

3162
01:49:22,250 --> 01:49:23,559
The goal is better and more

3163
01:49:23,559 --> 01:49:25,959
timely made by professionals

3164
01:49:26,695 --> 01:49:29,231
that understand the need of

3165
01:49:29,231 --> 01:49:30,660
patients and the legal

3166
01:49:30,660 --> 01:49:30,667
implementation of

3167
01:49:30,667 --> 01:49:32,667
landerman-petris-short act,

3168
01:49:33,136 --> 01:49:34,271
implementation matters.

3169
01:49:34,271 --> 01:49:36,406
Expanding eligibility must be

3170
01:49:36,406 --> 01:49:37,574
accompanied by county training

3171
01:49:37,574 --> 01:49:38,775
and clear standards and

3172
01:49:38,775 --> 01:49:39,843
appropriate oversight and

3173
01:49:39,843 --> 01:49:41,210
documentation and an is strong

3174
01:49:41,210 --> 01:49:43,460
patient to patient rights.

3175
01:49:43,460 --> 01:49:45,182
I look forward to the report

3176
01:49:45,182 --> 01:49:46,416
back from the department of

3177
01:49:46,416 --> 01:49:49,219
mental health that will outline

3178
01:49:49,219 --> 01:49:49,486
these important trainings and

3179
01:49:49,486 --> 01:49:51,880
protocols.

3180
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:52,455
Ultimately when someone reaches

3181
01:49:52,455 --> 01:49:54,855
an emergency department in

3182
01:49:55,910 --> 01:49:57,227
crisis, our systems should be

3183
01:49:57,227 --> 01:49:59,627
prepared to respond immediately

3184
01:49:59,863 --> 01:50:01,863
with compassion, clinical

3185
01:50:02,465 --> 01:50:04,800
expertise and respect for that

3186
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:07,200
individuals' rights and dignity.

3187
01:50:07,504 --> 01:50:09,438
Ab416 is an opportunity to

3188
01:50:09,438 --> 01:50:12,438
improve how our entire system

3189
01:50:12,876 --> 01:50:14,611
responds to people in crisis,

3190
01:50:14,611 --> 01:50:15,379
thank you.

3191
01:50:15,379 --> 01:50:16,313
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

3192
01:50:16,313 --> 01:50:16,947
thank you supervisor mitchell.

3193
01:50:16,947 --> 01:50:19,947
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: thank

3194
01:50:21,785 --> 01:50:23,870
you MADAM Chair and thank cloeg

3195
01:50:23,870 --> 01:50:25,487
colleagues to bring this

3196
01:50:27,910 --> 01:50:29,260
forward, it's a practical fix

3197
01:50:29,260 --> 01:50:29,994
that cuts wait time for patients

3198
01:50:29,994 --> 01:50:31,994
in crisis.

3199
01:50:33,130 --> 01:50:37,101
It's not a new idea, the county

3200
01:50:37,101 --> 01:50:40,101
piloted this in 2016 with our

3201
01:50:40,271 --> 01:50:42,671
martin luther king safety

3202
01:50:44,608 --> 01:50:46,977
hospital in south L.A. And since

3203
01:50:46,977 --> 01:50:50,577
then has continued the work and

3204
01:50:51,810 --> 01:50:53,984
on a shift, six patients a day

3205
01:50:53,984 --> 01:50:55,952
on 51-50 psychiatric hold, I

3206
01:50:55,952 --> 01:50:57,154
look to see more hospitals in

3207
01:50:57,154 --> 01:50:59,223
the second district as well as

3208
01:50:59,223 --> 01:51:01,525
county wide onboarded in the

3209
01:51:01,525 --> 01:51:02,793
next phase, looking forward to

3210
01:51:02,793 --> 01:51:03,360
support the motion.

3211
01:51:03,360 --> 01:51:05,760
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

3212
01:51:06,130 --> 01:51:08,532
great I too want to join my

3213
01:51:08,532 --> 01:51:09,667
colleagues and thank you

3214
01:51:09,667 --> 01:51:11,502
supervisor hahn I know how close

3215
01:51:11,502 --> 01:51:12,703
issue for you and has been and

3216
01:51:12,703 --> 01:51:14,703
for supervisor horvath.

3217
01:51:15,740 --> 01:51:16,174
I want to say I too am very

3218
01:51:16,174 --> 01:51:18,174
supportive.

3219
01:51:19,644 --> 01:51:21,111
I think treatment by trained

3220
01:51:21,111 --> 01:51:23,790
professionals is obviously

3221
01:51:23,790 --> 01:51:25,216
always very helpful and knowing

3222
01:51:25,216 --> 01:51:27,170
that this program will expand to

3223
01:51:27,170 --> 01:51:29,190
areas like paloma hospital that

3224
01:51:29,190 --> 01:51:30,520
is in dire need of support in

3225
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:32,556
many ways can be a solution.

3226
01:51:32,556 --> 01:51:32,790
I look forward to supporting the

3227
01:51:32,790 --> 01:51:33,858
motion.

3228
01:51:33,858 --> 01:51:36,858

Roy humphreys your line is open,

01:51:51,142 --> 01:51:52,376
please begin.

3236
01:51:52,376 --> 01:51:54,112
>> telephone speaker: you have

3237
01:51:54,112 --> 01:51:55,813
to look for the choke point,

3238
01:51:55,813 --> 01:51:57,480
where is the choke point.

3239
01:51:57,480 --> 01:51:59,551
And the most ideal conditions

3240
01:51:59,551 --> 01:52:01,619
you have all of these physicians

3241
01:52:01,619 --> 01:52:03,988
making these judgments and if

3242
01:52:03,988 --> 01:52:06,191
er's have the capacity to handle

3243
01:52:06,191 --> 01:52:08,593
the load of any given moment and

3244
01:52:08,593 --> 01:52:10,328
time, how fast can you get those

3245
01:52:10,328 --> 01:52:12,196
persons out of the emergency

3246
01:52:12,196 --> 01:52:15,196
rooms and into a facility.

3247
01:52:15,900 --> 01:52:17,668
That is the choke point.

3248
01:52:17,668 --> 01:52:21,380
And it needs to be resolved but

3249
01:52:21,380 --> 01:52:22,339
you took on this task so it's in

3250
01:52:22,339 --> 01:52:23,740
your court.

3251
01:52:23,740 --> 01:52:24,276

concluded, in-person speakers,

3257
01:52:37,689 --> 01:52:38,256
please begin.

3258

morning chair and supervisors

3260
01:52:46,732 --> 01:52:50,135
and on behalf of nomi, thank you

3261
01:52:50,135 --> 01:52:51,470
supervisors hahn and horvath for

3262
01:52:51,470 --> 01:52:53,305
these evaluations in

3263
01:52:53,305 --> 01:52:55,705
nondesignated lps hospitals we

3264
01:52:55,941 --> 01:52:58,760
can help those in crisis get the

3265
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:00,312
help they need, reduce delays

3266
01:53:00,312 --> 01:53:01,446
and improve patient cares and

3267
01:53:01,446 --> 01:53:01,947
outcomes and a chance at

3268
01:53:01,947 --> 01:53:03,947
recovery.

3269
01:53:04,383 --> 01:53:06,510
As this pilot moves forward we

3270
01:53:06,510 --> 01:53:08,510
encourage strong training,

3271
01:53:08,820 --> 01:53:09,988
oversight and collaboration with

3272
01:53:09,988 --> 01:53:10,956
families, community

3273
01:53:10,956 --> 01:53:12,424
organizations and people with

3274
01:53:12,424 --> 01:53:14,424
lived experiences.

3275
01:53:15,127 --> 01:53:17,229
To ensure that every evaluation

3276
01:53:17,229 --> 01:53:17,562
is conducted with dignity and

3277
01:53:17,562 --> 01:53:19,562
compassion.

3278
01:53:21,199 --> 01:53:23,350
This is a practical step towards

3279
01:53:23,350 --> 01:53:24,802
strengthening mental health care

3280
01:53:24,802 --> 01:53:27,500
and improving crisis response

3281
01:53:27,500 --> 01:53:29,405
across L.A. County.

3282
01:53:29,541 --> 01:53:32,760
We encourage a yes vote on this

3283
01:53:32,760 --> 01:53:34,760
motion.

3284
01:53:34,413 --> 01:53:35,548
>> moderator: thank you, next

3285
01:53:35,548 --> 01:53:37,216
speaker.

3286
01:53:37,216 --> 01:53:40,216
>> in-person speaker: I have to

3287
01:53:42,654 --> 01:53:42,920
say that physicians already do

3288
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:43,355
that.

3289
01:53:43,355 --> 01:53:45,355
51-50.

3290
01:53:45,858 --> 01:53:49,194
I believe you are going to

3291
01:53:49,194 --> 01:53:52,194
implement a new sort of

3292
01:53:55,667 --> 01:53:57,202
emergency pilot I have some

3293
01:53:57,202 --> 01:53:58,704
experiences for that and that is

3294
01:53:58,704 --> 01:54:00,339
totally private for me.

3295
01:54:00,339 --> 01:54:02,742
I can say that physicians

3296
01:54:02,742 --> 01:54:04,742
already do it.

3297
01:54:06,712 --> 01:54:10,449
And I would look forward to see

3298
01:54:10,449 --> 01:54:10,682
how the implementation of it can

3299
01:54:10,682 --> 01:54:12,682
change.

3300
01:54:12,952 --> 01:54:15,952
I have some recommendations on

3301
01:54:16,121 --> 01:54:19,121
that, just because I have

3302
01:54:20,293 --> 01:54:23,293
experienced some items but I

3303
01:54:24,864 --> 01:54:26,499
know that the medical system

3304
01:54:26,499 --> 01:54:28,499
does work.

3305
01:54:28,935 --> 01:54:30,369
Cause I have been in hospitals

3306
01:54:30,369 --> 01:54:31,971
and I have recovered.

3307
01:54:31,971 --> 01:54:33,840
And I have been cured.

3308
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:36,542
So I can see that.

3309
01:54:36,542 --> 01:54:38,444
>> moderator: thank you, next

3310
01:54:38,444 --> 01:54:40,444
speaker please.

3311
01:54:40,879 --> 01:54:43,279
>> in-person speaker: DR. Truth

3312
01:54:43,815 --> 01:54:46,520
gay, analyst, I am clutching my

3313
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:47,153
pearls now I thought this is

3314
01:54:47,153 --> 01:54:50,153
implemented in hospitals as far

3315
01:54:53,226 --> 01:54:55,226
as 51-50 holds.

3316
01:54:58,531 --> 01:55:02,131
The lps short act should be

3317
01:55:03,336 --> 01:55:05,204
implemented in downtown L.A.,

3318
01:55:05,204 --> 01:55:07,204
hospital presbyterian.

3319
01:55:08,141 --> 01:55:09,142
The motion is self-explanatory,

3320
01:55:09,142 --> 01:55:11,111
definitely needed.

3321
01:55:11,111 --> 01:55:12,812
How long will it take for this

3322
01:55:12,812 --> 01:55:13,780
pilot program to launch, is the

3323
01:55:13,780 --> 01:55:15,780
question.

3324
01:55:15,548 --> 01:55:16,716
I thought this was a county wide

3325
01:55:16,716 --> 01:55:18,716
initiative already implemented

3326
01:55:19,185 --> 01:55:22,321
but the fact that you have it on

3327
01:55:22,321 --> 01:55:25,224
the agenda today says a lot.

3328
01:55:25,224 --> 01:55:27,294
We can expedite the help, any

3329
01:55:27,294 --> 01:55:29,694
type of compassionate care

3330
01:55:29,830 --> 01:55:30,630
towards 51-50 holds is much

3331
01:55:30,630 --> 01:55:31,431
needed.

3332
01:55:31,431 --> 01:55:31,698
Never enough and always

3333
01:55:31,698 --> 01:55:33,698

3334
01:55:34,670 --> 01:55:36,690

work you have done.

3369
01:56:49,210 --> 01:56:52,810
Los angeles county sits in a

3370
01:56:53,581 --> 01:56:55,581
globally recognized biodiversity

3371
01:57:02,522 --> 01:57:05,522

ecosystems found in few other

3374
01:57:11,565 --> 01:57:14,565
places but this biodiversity is

3375
01:57:17,204 --> 01:57:18,740
under pressure from

3376
01:57:18,740 --> 01:57:20,740
urbanization, climate change,

3377
01:57:21,208 --> 01:57:23,608
wildfires and trump magazine.

3378
01:57:24,178 --> 01:57:26,578
Protecting native habitates is

3379
01:57:27,281 --> 01:57:28,449
vital to communities.

3380
01:57:28,449 --> 01:57:30,849
Healthy ecosystems provide clean

3381
01:57:32,860 --> 01:57:33,421
air and water, and buffer

3382
01:57:33,421 --> 01:57:36,421
extreme heat and flooding, and

3383

connect people to nature.

3384
01:57:40,394 --> 01:57:42,530
Today L.A. County has an

3385
01:57:42,530 --> 01:57:44,530
opportunity to model

3388
01:57:49,203 --> 01:57:50,472
The water conservation and

3389
01:57:50,472 --> 01:57:52,872
landscaping policy will require

3390
01:57:54,375 --> 01:57:56,375

3391
01:57:59,581 --> 01:58:01,882

3396
01:58:11,759 --> 01:58:15,359

spotted oak bore and to have

3408
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:50,960
living biodiversity.

3409
01:58:50,565 --> 01:58:52,267
And where possible acquiring

3410
01:58:52,267 --> 01:58:54,102
land to support wildlife

3411
01:58:54,102 --> 01:58:55,504
connectivity and access to

3412
01:58:55,504 --> 01:58:56,705
nature.

3413
01:58:56,705 --> 01:58:58,807
Los angeles county has joined

3414
01:58:58,807 --> 01:59:01,207
the global diversity alliance

3415
01:59:03,110 --> 01:59:05,581
and become a formal observer the

3416
01:59:05,581 --> 01:59:07,981
tout united nations convention

3417
01:59:08,584 --> 01:59:10,584
on biodiversity.

3418
01:59:11,519 --> 01:59:13,721
These help us to learn from best

3419
01:59:13,721 --> 01:59:15,224
practices around the world and

3420
01:59:15,224 --> 01:59:17,224
strengthen our stewardship.

3421
01:59:17,325 --> 01:59:21,525
I look forward to see what will

3422
01:59:23,165 --> 01:59:25,200
be learned in armenia later this

3423
01:59:25,200 --> 01:59:26,569
year and thank the chief

3424
01:59:26,569 --> 01:59:27,870
stability office and all

3425
01:59:27,870 --> 01:59:29,138
following the board's passage of

3426
01:59:29,138 --> 01:59:30,339
my motion last year.

3427
01:59:30,339 --> 01:59:34,539
You don't have to take my word

3428
01:59:34,543 --> 01:59:36,912
for it, I will ask a couple of

3429
01:59:36,912 --> 01:59:38,912
questions of chief

3430
01:59:40,490 --> 01:59:42,449
sustainability team, first of

3431
01:59:42,518 --> 01:59:44,253
all what are the challenges

3432
01:59:44,253 --> 01:59:46,253
associated with this.

3433
01:59:47,590 --> 01:59:49,990
>> department speaker: thank you

3434
01:59:52,940 --> 01:59:53,228
I am rita kampalath, chief

3435
01:59:53,228 --> 01:59:55,628
sustainability officer, we see

3436
01:59:55,764 --> 01:59:58,834
this policy as a critical step

3437
01:59:58,834 --> 01:59:59,502
to overall county biodiversity

3438
01:59:59,502 --> 02:00:01,502
goals.

3439
02:00:01,604 --> 02:00:02,972
The purpose is to first of all

3440
02:00:02,972 --> 02:00:04,500
to establish a water

3441
02:00:04,500 --> 02:00:06,500
conservation and landscaping

3442
02:00:06,675 --> 02:00:08,377
standard for county departments.

3443
02:00:08,377 --> 02:00:11,470
We want to ensure efficient

3444
02:00:11,470 --> 02:00:13,249
water use and use those

3445
02:00:13,249 --> 02:00:15,249
opportunities to promote

3446
02:00:16,219 --> 02:00:18,219
biodiversity and long-term

3447
02:00:20,223 --> 02:00:20,590
stewardship through california

3448
02:00:20,590 --> 02:00:22,590
native plants.

3449
02:00:23,125 --> 02:00:24,727
And compared to the previous

3450
02:00:24,727 --> 02:00:26,529
version, this updated version

3451
02:00:26,529 --> 02:00:28,397
addresses the use of native

3452
02:00:28,397 --> 02:00:30,766
plants as well as best practices

3453
02:00:30,766 --> 02:00:32,766
to support implementation.

3454
02:00:33,350 --> 02:00:34,603
The native plants portion of the

3455
02:00:34,603 --> 02:00:34,836
policy is the most significant

3456
02:00:34,836 --> 02:00:36,836
change.

3457
02:00:37,206 --> 02:00:39,409
And over the previous version as

3458
02:00:39,409 --> 02:00:42,409
now requires the use of 70%

3459
02:00:42,812 --> 02:00:43,613
native plants at county

3460
02:00:43,613 --> 02:00:45,114
facilities.

3461
02:00:45,114 --> 02:00:47,584
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: why is

3462
02:00:47,584 --> 02:00:49,218
it not enough just to have

3463
02:00:49,218 --> 02:00:50,987
drought tolerant plants?

3464
02:00:50,987 --> 02:00:52,987
>> department speaker: yes,

3465
02:00:53,890 --> 02:00:54,900
native plants are climate

3466
02:00:54,900 --> 02:00:56,490
adjusted to the region.

3467
02:00:56,526 --> 02:00:58,761
First of all, you noted that

3468
02:00:58,761 --> 02:01:00,396
many are drought tolerant and a

3469
02:01:00,396 --> 02:01:00,730
great strategy for water

3470
02:01:00,730 --> 02:01:02,730
conservation.

3471
02:01:02,866 --> 02:01:04,801
But they also include many other

3472
02:01:04,801 --> 02:01:05,201
benefits, provide many other

3473
02:01:05,201 --> 02:01:07,201
benefits.

3474
02:01:07,637 --> 02:01:10,370
Support local biodiversity and

3475
02:01:10,573 --> 02:01:12,576
habitat for insects and support

3476
02:01:12,576 --> 02:01:16,176
birds and other wildlife as you

3477
02:01:16,312 --> 02:01:17,246
mentioned we are dealing with a

3478
02:01:17,246 --> 02:01:19,246
nationwide biodiversity crisis.

3479
02:01:20,617 --> 02:01:23,170
And resilient to climate

3480
02:01:24,200 --> 02:01:24,354
conditions and adapt well across

3481
02:01:24,354 --> 02:01:26,354
ecosystemses.

3482
02:01:27,891 --> 02:01:30,494
Wile they can reduce water

3483
02:01:30,494 --> 02:01:32,894
consumption and reduce other

3484
02:01:34,164 --> 02:01:35,599
types and fewer soil and less

3485
02:01:35,599 --> 02:01:36,500
maintenance once established.

3486
02:01:36,500 --> 02:01:39,136
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: how do

3487
02:01:39,136 --> 02:01:40,803
you expect county departments to

3488
02:01:40,803 --> 02:01:41,438
prepare successfully to

3489
02:01:41,438 --> 02:01:43,500
implement this policy?

3490
02:01:43,500 --> 02:01:45,208
Do you anticipate challenges

3491
02:01:45,208 --> 02:01:45,909
they face and how support them

3492
02:01:45,909 --> 02:01:46,543
in that work.

3493
02:01:46,543 --> 02:01:48,645
>> department speaker: thank you

3494
02:01:48,645 --> 02:01:50,280
for that and I want to express

3495
02:01:50,280 --> 02:01:52,680
gratitude to county departments

3496
02:01:53,217 --> 02:01:53,482
so great partners in doing this

3497
02:01:53,482 --> 02:01:55,482
revision.

3498
02:01:55,919 --> 02:01:56,619
Very open and supportive of

3499
02:01:56,619 --> 02:01:58,619
everything.

3500
02:01:59,389 --> 02:02:00,490
The policy contains two

3501
02:02:00,490 --> 02:02:02,226
requirements aimed at successful

3502
02:02:02,226 --> 02:02:03,694
implementation, we want to

3503
02:02:03,694 --> 02:02:04,762
address that, and update

3504
02:02:04,762 --> 02:02:05,596
contract requirements and

3505
02:02:05,596 --> 02:02:07,996
training requirements for staff.

3506
02:02:08,198 --> 02:02:09,232
Where the county relies on

3507
02:02:09,232 --> 02:02:11,602
contractors we want to make sure

3508
02:02:11,602 --> 02:02:13,170
that the contractors that we're

3509
02:02:13,170 --> 02:02:15,570
working with can demonstrate

3510
02:02:16,307 --> 02:02:17,206
that they can handle native

3511
02:02:17,206 --> 02:02:18,742
plants.

3512
02:02:18,742 --> 02:02:21,211
Want to be sure they survive

3513
02:02:21,211 --> 02:02:22,713
once put in the resources.

3514
02:02:22,713 --> 02:02:24,915
At the facilities where county

3515
02:02:24,915 --> 02:02:26,250
staff maintain the landscapes

3516
02:02:26,250 --> 02:02:27,484
and make sure that the staff

3517
02:02:27,484 --> 02:02:29,530
have appropriate training that

3518
02:02:29,530 --> 02:02:31,522
they can succeed in supporting

3519
02:02:31,522 --> 02:02:32,990
our native plants.

3520
02:02:32,990 --> 02:02:35,593
So our office has some specific

3521
02:02:35,593 --> 02:02:37,394
plans to support that, we will

3522
02:02:37,394 --> 02:02:38,496
be continuing to work on

3523
02:02:38,496 --> 02:02:40,297
implementation after hopefully

3524
02:02:40,297 --> 02:02:40,510
this policy is adopted by your

3525
02:02:40,510 --> 02:02:42,510
board.

3526
02:02:43,467 --> 02:02:45,235
Some of the work that we will be

3527
02:02:45,235 --> 02:02:47,635
doing is identifying local

3528
02:02:48,873 --> 02:02:50,874
capacity in nurseries and making

3529
02:02:50,874 --> 02:02:53,210
sure that is available and

3530
02:02:53,210 --> 02:02:55,610
working with external partners.

3531
02:02:57,381 --> 02:02:58,248
And help departments to create

3532
02:02:58,248 --> 02:03:00,170
contract being language.

3533
02:03:00,170 --> 02:03:01,585
And accessing training to

3534
02:03:01,585 --> 02:03:03,754
identify existing resources that

3535
02:03:03,754 --> 02:03:06,754
is available to pull together

3536
02:03:06,891 --> 02:03:09,226
for county departments to access

3537
02:03:09,226 --> 02:03:09,860
as well.

3538
02:03:09,860 --> 02:03:10,995
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: just to

3539
02:03:10,995 --> 02:03:12,630
reiterate you are offering

3540
02:03:12,630 --> 02:03:13,197
support to departments in this

3541
02:03:13,197 --> 02:03:15,197
process.

3542
02:03:15,766 --> 02:03:17,201
I know sometimes when we adopt

3543
02:03:17,201 --> 02:03:18,202
requirements it can feel like

3544
02:03:18,202 --> 02:03:19,337
additional layers that people

3545
02:03:19,337 --> 02:03:21,337
have to navigate.

3546
02:03:21,773 --> 02:03:23,441
But I would say from what I

3547
02:03:23,441 --> 02:03:25,242
heard you identify not only is

3548
02:03:25,242 --> 02:03:27,844
this important when it comes to

3549
02:03:27,844 --> 02:03:29,580
our conservation efforts.

3550
02:03:29,580 --> 02:03:31,683
But it's also important for when

3551
02:03:31,683 --> 02:03:33,217
it comes to our safety and

3552
02:03:33,217 --> 02:03:35,553
especially when we are thinking

3553
02:03:35,553 --> 02:03:37,553
about wildfire prevention.

3554
02:03:39,390 --> 02:03:42,390
Sometimes our best intentions in

3555
02:03:42,860 --> 02:03:45,860
bringing plants into our county

3556
02:03:46,970 --> 02:03:48,970
spaces back fire.

3557
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:50,702
Because we are choosing species

3558
02:03:50,702 --> 02:03:53,370
that contribute to wildfires.

3559
02:03:53,370 --> 02:03:53,604
And contribute to other

3560
02:03:53,604 --> 02:03:55,473
challenges that actually

3561
02:03:55,473 --> 02:03:57,308
increase safety challenges.

3562
02:03:57,308 --> 02:03:59,511
So if people don't get behind

3563
02:03:59,511 --> 02:04:01,513
your work because they believe

3564
02:04:01,513 --> 02:04:03,913
in conservation, because they're

3565
02:04:04,482 --> 02:04:04,650
not convinced about our changing

3566
02:04:04,650 --> 02:04:06,650
es

3567
02:04:07,719 --> 02:04:08,190
ing

3568
02:04:08,190 --> 02:04:09,220
climate.

3569
02:04:09,220 --> 02:04:10,455
Hopefully they can understand

3570
02:04:10,455 --> 02:04:12,723
from a safety perspective that

3571
02:04:12,723 --> 02:04:13,993
these policies are done with

3572
02:04:13,993 --> 02:04:15,193
that intentions in mind.

3573
02:04:15,193 --> 02:04:17,629
Not making it harder to green

3574
02:04:17,629 --> 02:04:19,764
our county but to make it

3575
02:04:19,764 --> 02:04:21,900
smarter of how we green our

3576
02:04:21,900 --> 02:04:22,467
county, thank you for that.

3577
02:04:22,467 --> 02:04:24,603
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

3578
02:04:24,603 --> 02:04:27,603
thank you supervisor horvath, I

3579
02:04:27,639 --> 02:04:28,540
want to too thank you and chief

3580
02:04:28,540 --> 02:04:29,607
sustainability office for

3581
02:04:29,607 --> 02:04:31,176
bringing forward this request.

3582
02:04:31,176 --> 02:04:32,911
In the last part of my term I

3583
02:04:32,911 --> 02:04:34,746
have seen so many changes in

3584
02:04:34,746 --> 02:04:36,982
terms of landscaping uses.

3585
02:04:36,982 --> 02:04:39,382
Whether it's our parks.

3586
02:04:40,619 --> 02:04:42,621
Whether it's recreational areas

3587
02:04:42,621 --> 02:04:44,256
and whether helping to sustain

3588
02:04:44,256 --> 02:04:45,757
facilities like health care

3589
02:04:45,757 --> 02:04:47,592
facilities and interim housing.

3590
02:04:47,592 --> 02:04:49,394
All of these things play an

3591
02:04:49,394 --> 02:04:51,794
important role and especially

3592
02:04:52,297 --> 02:04:53,632
with the climate change

3593
02:04:53,632 --> 02:04:56,340
occurring at such a vast speed.

3594
02:04:56,340 --> 02:04:58,737
What we are expecting with el

3595
02:04:58,737 --> 02:05:00,439
ni}o upon us already, today, we

3596
02:05:00,439 --> 02:05:01,240
have been feeling it even more

3597
02:05:01,240 --> 02:05:02,708
increasingly in the last month

3598
02:05:02,708 --> 02:05:04,800
or so.

3599
02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:06,912
And I just want to point out

3600
02:05:06,912 --> 02:05:08,480
that I really would like to see

3601
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:09,681
more happening in terms of work

3602
02:05:09,681 --> 02:05:11,616
with youth.

3603
02:05:11,616 --> 02:05:12,818
So that they also are trained

3604
02:05:12,818 --> 02:05:14,818
and given opportunities.

3605
02:05:15,554 --> 02:05:18,890
So I know we do a good job with

3606
02:05:18,890 --> 02:05:19,992
some of our groups now.

3607
02:05:19,992 --> 02:05:20,225
The conservation corp, and

3608
02:05:20,225 --> 02:05:22,194
others.

3609
02:05:22,194 --> 02:05:24,797
But what about in-housing some

3610
02:05:24,797 --> 02:05:26,265
resources that we give out

3611
02:05:26,265 --> 02:05:28,534
through the youth at work,

3612
02:05:28,534 --> 02:05:30,135
through deo.

3613
02:05:30,135 --> 02:05:31,369
I know there are opportunities

3614
02:05:31,369 --> 02:05:32,538
for youth at risk and those

3615
02:05:32,538 --> 02:05:34,773
needing to have a job.

3616
02:05:34,773 --> 02:05:34,973
To learn about a new way of

3617
02:05:34,973 --> 02:05:36,973
life.

3618
02:05:37,208 --> 02:05:38,770
And they can take those skills

3619
02:05:38,770 --> 02:05:40,770
home.

3620
02:05:40,846 --> 02:05:43,848
I have seen it demonstrated in

3621
02:05:43,848 --> 02:05:46,919
one of our parks, a group that

3622
02:05:46,919 --> 02:05:48,286
actually brings and nurtures in

3623
02:05:48,286 --> 02:05:50,423
students and young people.

3624
02:05:50,423 --> 02:05:52,558
But it's an experience of a

3625
02:05:52,558 --> 02:05:54,293
lifetime for our young people,

3626
02:05:54,293 --> 02:05:55,594
great to see something like that

3627
02:05:55,594 --> 02:05:55,927
expanded throughout the entire

3628
02:05:55,927 --> 02:05:57,927
county.

3629
02:05:58,640 --> 02:05:59,298
I wanted to say that.

3630
02:05:59,298 --> 02:06:02,298
And with water conservation on

3631
02:06:02,535 --> 02:06:03,903
our minds, I want us to think of

3632
02:06:03,903 --> 02:06:06,505
what we do in the future in

3633
02:06:06,505 --> 02:06:08,600
terms of data centers.

3634
02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:10,243
They are popping up whether we

3635
02:06:10,243 --> 02:06:13,212
like it or not, in the county of

3636
02:06:13,212 --> 02:06:13,779
los angeles and incorporated

3637
02:06:13,779 --> 02:06:15,779
cities.

3638
02:06:16,883 --> 02:06:19,840
I keep continually hearing

3639
02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:20,453
people's concern about water

3640
02:06:20,453 --> 02:06:21,653
conservation and use and how

3641
02:06:21,653 --> 02:06:23,222
valuable our practices need to

3642
02:06:23,222 --> 02:06:24,657
be to protect that.

3643
02:06:24,657 --> 02:06:26,192
I hope as we move forward that

3644
02:06:26,192 --> 02:06:27,493
is something that will be a

3645
02:06:27,493 --> 02:06:29,629
focus for you as well.

3646
02:06:29,629 --> 02:06:30,196
So with that, thank you very

3647
02:06:30,196 --> 02:06:31,631
much.

3648
02:06:31,631 --> 02:06:34,310
Seeing no further questions,

3649
02:06:35,301 --> 02:06:37,300
let's go to public comment.

3650
02:06:37,300 --> 02:06:38,538
Executive office.

3657
02:06:52,151 --> 02:06:55,687
it's andy, I was one of the

3658
02:06:55,687 --> 02:06:58,870
initiators of then council

3659
02:07:03,163 --> 02:07:05,198

3661
02:07:08,601 --> 02:07:08,835
I ask for your support on this

3662
02:07:08,835 --> 02:07:10,835
motion.

3663
02:07:11,204 --> 02:07:13,390
Los angeles sits in a

3664
02:07:13,390 --> 02:07:15,108
biodiversity hot spot and for

3665
02:07:15,108 --> 02:07:16,910
decades our landscape and

3666
02:07:16,910 --> 02:07:18,278
development has fractured

3667
02:07:18,278 --> 02:07:20,278
critical habitats.

3668
02:07:21,915 --> 02:07:25,251
And when we launched our vision

3669
02:07:25,251 --> 02:07:25,819
was clear, subnational

3670
02:07:25,819 --> 02:07:27,521
leadership must lead with

3671
02:07:27,521 --> 02:07:29,521
government lags.

3672
02:07:31,900 --> 02:07:33,490
This motion translates vision

3673
02:07:34,940 --> 02:07:36,494
into concrete scalable actions.

3674
02:07:39,666 --> 02:07:40,901
Updating the county's policy to

3675
02:07:40,901 --> 02:07:42,901
recognize california native

3676
02:07:43,536 --> 02:07:45,205
plants and knowledge, honors the

3677
02:07:45,205 --> 02:07:48,205
deep wisdom of governments and

3678
02:07:49,208 --> 02:07:52,208
restores our ecosystems and soil

3679
02:07:52,346 --> 02:07:53,614
health and water resilience.

city of agora hills and thank

3686
02:08:08,270 --> 02:08:10,798
the supervisors for the work

they do on behalf of residents

3688
02:08:11,832 --> 02:08:14,232
of los angeles county.

3689
02:08:14,668 --> 02:08:16,437
And calling in for strong

3690
02:08:16,437 --> 02:08:18,837
support for item 11, as

3691
02:08:19,205 --> 02:08:21,675
mentioned by the speakers, it

3692
02:08:21,675 --> 02:08:24,675
checks so many boxes from

3693
02:08:25,245 --> 02:08:27,645
improving local biodiversity and

3694
02:08:27,714 --> 02:08:29,783
air pollinators and wildlife and

3695
02:08:29,783 --> 02:08:32,183
capturing stormwater and creates

3696
02:08:32,953 --> 02:08:34,822
healthier communities.

3697
02:08:34,822 --> 02:08:37,224
A huge thank you to supervisor

champion and her staff, I

3700
02:08:42,396 --> 02:08:44,164
respectfully urge the board to

3701
02:08:44,164 --> 02:08:46,164
support this.

3702
02:08:47,301 --> 02:08:47,834
>> moderator: justin your line

3703
02:08:47,834 --> 02:08:48,402
is open.

3704

>> telephone speaker: good

3705
02:08:52,640 --> 02:08:53,606
morning I am calling in on

3706
02:08:53,606 --> 02:08:54,842
behalf of tree people and strong

3707
02:08:54,842 --> 02:08:57,177
support for this item.

3708
02:08:57,177 --> 02:08:58,645
We applaud the county for

3709
02:08:58,645 --> 02:09:00,380
advancing this motion to

3710
02:09:00,380 --> 02:09:02,350
recognize the stunning beauty

3711
02:09:02,350 --> 02:09:04,750
and critical importance of

3712
02:09:04,851 --> 02:09:06,851
california native ecosystems.

3713
02:09:06,988 --> 02:09:09,560
In this motion the county is

3714
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:10,958
establishing a model that

3715
02:09:10,958 --> 02:09:12,460
reflects the nature of our

3716
02:09:12,460 --> 02:09:14,460
challenges and solutions.

3717
02:09:14,562 --> 02:09:16,562
Those challenges importantly

3718
02:09:17,365 --> 02:09:20,167
moves away from just responding

3719
02:09:20,167 --> 02:09:21,680
to the hazards around water

3720
02:09:21,680 --> 02:09:22,360
resource management and to

3721
02:09:22,360 --> 02:09:23,704
identify the positive futures

3722
02:09:23,704 --> 02:09:26,173
that we want to pursue.

3723
02:09:26,173 --> 02:09:29,209
And looking to the future, we

3724
02:09:29,209 --> 02:09:30,678
know that a nature-based

3725
02:09:30,678 --> 02:09:31,345
solutions are most cost

3726
02:09:31,345 --> 02:09:33,214
effective investments that

3727
02:09:33,214 --> 02:09:36,214
governments can make to address

3728
02:09:41,422 --> 02:09:43,290
the growing impact of climate

3729
02:09:43,290 --> 02:09:43,791
change and improving public

3730
02:09:43,791 --> 02:09:45,726
life.

3731
02:09:45,726 --> 02:09:47,462
>> moderator: thank you, rosy,

3732
02:09:47,462 --> 02:09:49,862
your line is open.

3733
02:09:49,864 --> 02:09:51,131
Please begin.

3734
02:09:51,131 --> 02:09:53,531
>> telephone speaker: thank you,

3735
02:09:53,935 --> 02:09:58,380
I am here today to encourage the

3736
02:09:58,380 --> 02:10:00,842
approval of and adoption of this

3737
02:10:00,842 --> 02:10:01,576
amazing effort to integrate and

3738
02:10:01,576 --> 02:10:03,770
institutionalize and prioritize

3739
02:10:03,770 --> 02:10:05,770
native plants.

3740
02:10:05,547 --> 02:10:08,316
It's a great step forward to

3741
02:10:08,316 --> 02:10:08,550
trying to rewild our entire

3742
02:10:08,550 --> 02:10:10,550
county.

3743
02:10:11,586 --> 02:10:13,221
Having examples on county

3744
02:10:13,221 --> 02:10:15,621
property of beautiful natives

3745
02:10:17,920 --> 02:10:19,827
and trees and other plants.

3746
02:10:19,827 --> 02:10:21,896
Not only increases biodiversity

3747
02:10:21,896 --> 02:10:23,164
it also provides inspiration to

3748
02:10:23,164 --> 02:10:25,900
private property owners to think

3749
02:10:25,900 --> 02:10:28,900
of how they could incorporate

3750
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:30,872
these into their landscapes in

3751
02:10:30,872 --> 02:10:33,207
their own hometowns and their

3752
02:10:33,207 --> 02:10:35,207
own home places.

3753
02:10:35,644 --> 02:10:39,244
DR. Doug has shown that having

3754
02:10:39,948 --> 02:10:41,649
native plants in a moacic

3755
02:10:41,649 --> 02:10:43,985
throughout an urban system is

3756
02:10:43,985 --> 02:10:45,921
critical to supporting native

3757
02:10:45,921 --> 02:10:48,289
insects and birds, primarily.

3758
02:10:48,289 --> 02:10:52,427
But it also does a great amount

3759
02:10:52,427 --> 02:10:54,629
of good just in terms --

3760
02:10:54,629 --> 02:10:56,498

3763
02:11:06,875 --> 02:11:09,210
just stymied by this situation

3764
02:11:09,210 --> 02:11:10,611
and called a lawyer and fell off

3765
02:11:10,611 --> 02:11:12,611
his chair.

3766
02:11:13,148 --> 02:11:14,316
What in the heck that western

3767
02:11:14,316 --> 02:11:16,685
united states is in a huge

3768
02:11:16,685 --> 02:11:17,519
drought and I sent the board of

3769
02:11:17,519 --> 02:11:17,920
supervisors multiple articleses

3770
02:11:17,920 --> 02:11:19,920
on the situation.

3771
02:11:20,989 --> 02:11:25,189
And then we have the data center

3772
02:11:25,260 --> 02:11:28,860
situation, where in the heck do

3773
02:11:30,466 --> 02:11:32,801
we have archleta to come up and

3774
02:11:32,801 --> 02:11:35,671

situation and data centers.

3777
02:11:42,711 --> 02:11:44,980
You are an embarrassment to

3778
02:11:44,980 --> 02:11:47,116
governance, why we can't get rid

3779
02:11:47,116 --> 02:11:49,500
of you fast enough, you are

3780
02:11:49,500 --> 02:11:50,685
disgusting I would say more but

3781
02:11:50,685 --> 02:11:51,587

>> telephone speaker: I would

3786
02:12:00,996 --> 02:12:01,330
like to speak on aspect of water

3787
02:12:01,330 --> 02:12:03,330
conservation.

3788
02:12:03,531 --> 02:12:06,502
During the pandemic I watched my

3789
02:12:06,502 --> 02:12:08,504
new program, looking out the

3790
02:12:08,504 --> 02:12:10,406
window and water pouring from

3791
02:12:10,406 --> 02:12:11,641
the skies and looking down water

3792
02:12:11,641 --> 02:12:14,410
rising from the ground.

3793
02:12:14,777 --> 02:12:17,777
Due to the ignorance of

3794
02:12:22,384 --> 02:12:23,180
automatic landscaping sprinklers

3795
02:12:23,180 --> 02:12:26,589
this -- this issue came up.

3796
02:12:26,589 --> 02:12:28,991
I'm hoping that the county will

3797
02:12:28,991 --> 02:12:32,591
move forward in terms of having

3798
02:12:32,861 --> 02:12:35,261
all public and private

3799
02:12:36,165 --> 02:12:36,432
landscaping water sprinklers be

3800
02:12:36,432 --> 02:12:38,432
outlawed.

3801
02:12:38,967 --> 02:12:42,567
cause there is nothing worse in

3802
02:12:42,705 --> 02:12:45,207
a drought to watch people

3803
02:12:45,207 --> 02:12:46,476
ignorantly have water during a

3804
02:12:46,476 --> 02:12:46,876
rainstorm, thank you for your

3805
02:12:46,876 --> 02:12:48,778
consideration.

3806
02:12:48,778 --> 02:12:50,313

02:12:57,220 --> 02:12:59,220
participation is concluded,

3810
02:12:59,656 --> 02:13:01,656
in-person.

3811
02:13:02,392 --> 02:13:05,392
>> in-person speaker: hello I am

3812
02:13:06,362 --> 02:13:09,362
rita watts, and in suburban

3813
02:13:14,571 --> 02:13:14,831
areas 70% of our water goes to

3814
02:13:14,831 --> 02:13:16,831
non

3815
02:13:17,440 --> 02:13:19,840
nonfunctional turf and can

3816
02:13:20,543 --> 02:13:20,744
reduce this number to half over

3817
02:13:20,744 --> 02:13:22,744
night.

3818
02:13:24,948 --> 02:13:28,548
This is survival issue and from

3819
02:13:29,619 --> 02:13:33,219
humming birds to bobcats and mon

3820
02:13:34,124 --> 02:13:35,659
monarch butterflies and they

3821
02:13:35,659 --> 02:13:37,861
need habitat and putting this in

3822
02:13:37,861 --> 02:13:40,897
the garden you are creating a

3823
02:13:40,897 --> 02:13:41,598
place to live and thrive.

3824
02:13:41,598 --> 02:13:43,766
Thank you supervisor horvath and

3825
02:13:43,766 --> 02:13:46,200
the entire board of supervisors

3826
02:13:46,200 --> 02:13:49,200
to care about the nonhuman

3827
02:13:49,139 --> 02:13:52,375
beings with who we share L.A.

3828
02:13:52,375 --> 02:13:54,375
County, appreciate you.

3829
02:13:57,213 --> 02:13:58,214
>> moderator: thank you, next

3830
02:13:58,214 --> 02:13:58,949
speaker.

3831
02:13:58,949 --> 02:14:00,584
>> in-person speaker: native

3832
02:14:00,584 --> 02:14:02,319
plants are our identity and our

3833
02:14:02,319 --> 02:14:04,719
connection with our environment.

3834
02:14:04,754 --> 02:14:06,857
Since resources are scarce, we

3835
02:14:06,857 --> 02:14:08,558
must have restraint is necessary

3836
02:14:08,558 --> 02:14:10,893
for all of us.

3837
02:14:10,893 --> 02:14:11,595
I think being self-disciplined

3838
02:14:11,595 --> 02:14:13,595
is very difficult.

3839
02:14:13,964 --> 02:14:16,532
Because we don't care, we go

3840
02:14:16,532 --> 02:14:19,269
into the shower and just take

3841
02:14:19,269 --> 02:14:21,669
like two hour showers.

3842
02:14:23,340 --> 02:14:23,707
So restraint.

3843
02:14:23,707 --> 02:14:25,707
Self-discipline.

3844
02:14:26,944 --> 02:14:28,278
Limiting what you do.

3845
02:14:28,278 --> 02:14:31,810
And I believe that there should

3846
02:14:31,810 --> 02:14:33,216
be an understanding that native

3847
02:14:33,216 --> 02:14:34,118
plants must survive therefore we

3848
02:14:34,118 --> 02:14:36,118
must do this.

3849
02:14:37,221 --> 02:14:39,621
We must be restrained.

3850
02:14:40,224 --> 02:14:42,224
Be self-disciplined.

3851
02:14:42,559 --> 02:14:44,561
must be meticulous about what we

3852
02:14:44,561 --> 02:14:48,161
do, and youth can learn that.

3853
02:14:48,799 --> 02:14:50,301
They can learn restraint and

3854
02:14:50,301 --> 02:14:52,301
self-disciplined and meticulous

3855
02:14:52,503 --> 02:14:53,237
what they do, and parents can

3856
02:14:53,237 --> 02:14:55,237
help them.

3857
02:14:55,673 --> 02:14:56,773
Plant survival is necessary --

3858
02:14:56,773 --> 02:14:59,173
>> moderator: thank you that

3859
02:14:59,676 --> 02:14:59,910

We will now move on to item 2d,

hahn to join.

3894
02:16:09,213 --> 02:16:10,915
Multiple lawsuits are litigated

3895
02:16:10,915 --> 02:16:12,884
across the country and situation

3896
02:16:12,884 --> 02:16:14,452
is changing by the day.

3897
02:16:14,452 --> 02:16:16,521
Amid this uncertainty some

3898
02:16:16,521 --> 02:16:17,689
things remain clear.

3899
02:16:17,689 --> 02:16:19,891
The los angeles region must do

3900
02:16:19,891 --> 02:16:21,192
everything we can to protect the

3901
02:16:21,192 --> 02:16:24,620
coc funding and the more than

3902
02:16:24,620 --> 02:16:27,620
10,000 people who rely on these

3903
02:16:28,166 --> 02:16:28,900
resources to stay housed.

3904
02:16:28,900 --> 02:16:31,436
This means our continuum of care

3905
02:16:31,436 --> 02:16:33,104
must not fracture as we work

3906
02:16:33,104 --> 02:16:35,273
together to preserve and protect

3907
02:16:35,273 --> 02:16:37,273
these federal resources.

3908
02:16:39,444 --> 02:16:41,110
This motion makes our path

3909
02:16:41,110 --> 02:16:43,411
forward abundantly clear, we

3910
02:16:44,449 --> 02:16:46,849
must maximize funding by

3911
02:16:47,953 --> 02:16:50,353
maintaining one unified lcoc,

3912
02:16:51,220 --> 02:16:54,622
and the county stands ready to

3913
02:16:55,694 --> 02:16:59,294
take on the continuum of care,

3914
02:16:59,664 --> 02:17:01,232
the county must partner with the

3915
02:17:01,232 --> 02:17:04,350
housing authority of los angeles

3916
02:17:04,350 --> 02:17:04,303
and minimize functions with coc

3917
02:17:04,303 --> 02:17:06,303
programs.

3918
02:17:07,406 --> 02:17:10,406
And the county incorporate with

3919
02:17:13,210 --> 02:17:14,812
cities and unincorporated areas.

3920
02:17:14,812 --> 02:17:17,215
Let there be no confusion, los

3921
02:17:17,215 --> 02:17:17,449
angeles county is ready to

3922
02:17:17,449 --> 02:17:19,449
partner.

3923
02:17:19,584 --> 02:17:22,584
In fact this board authorized

3924
02:17:22,788 --> 02:17:23,722
the submission of a letter and

3925
02:17:23,722 --> 02:17:25,257
communicating in our intentions

3926
02:17:25,257 --> 02:17:27,159
to this effort.

3927
02:17:27,159 --> 02:17:28,927
Including and especially

3928
02:17:28,927 --> 02:17:30,395
partnership and that is what

3929
02:17:30,395 --> 02:17:31,930
L.A. County intends to do.

3930
02:17:31,930 --> 02:17:33,232
We are ready to lead and do

3931
02:17:33,232 --> 02:17:35,670
everything in our power to

3932
02:17:35,670 --> 02:17:37,236
protect this funding and keep

3933
02:17:37,236 --> 02:17:39,905
people in the places they

3934
02:17:39,905 --> 02:17:40,939
already call home, alongside our

3935
02:17:40,939 --> 02:17:43,339
city and community partners

3936
02:17:44,610 --> 02:17:47,100
committed to working together.

3937
02:17:53,251 --> 02:17:56,388
So emilio and sarah, how is shs

3938
02:17:56,388 --> 02:17:58,788
to components to lead?

3939
02:18:02,610 --> 02:18:03,728
>> sarah mahim, as you

3940
02:18:03,728 --> 02:18:05,664
referenced there was a letter to

3941
02:18:05,664 --> 02:18:08,000
coc board letting the coc know

3942
02:18:08,000 --> 02:18:10,269
that we are making a formal

3943
02:18:10,269 --> 02:18:12,238
offer to provide one-time

3944
02:18:12,238 --> 02:18:14,473
interim support for continuum of

3945
02:18:14,473 --> 02:18:16,873
care roles if needed.

3946
02:18:19,311 --> 02:18:22,281
In this letter we provided

3947
02:18:22,281 --> 02:18:23,683
qualifications to perform the

3948
02:18:23,683 --> 02:18:24,850
functions.

3949
02:18:24,850 --> 02:18:27,250
Important to reiterate only

3950
02:18:29,689 --> 02:18:32,689
occur if coc delegated authority

3951
02:18:34,260 --> 02:18:36,950
to laca and chs for the roles

3952
02:18:36,950 --> 02:18:39,950
and in collaboration with the

3953
02:18:41,234 --> 02:18:44,670
city of L.A. And haca.

3954
02:18:44,670 --> 02:18:46,706
And for hmis and css we have

3955
02:18:46,706 --> 02:18:48,908
done work to analyze what it

3956
02:18:48,908 --> 02:18:51,277
will take to assume those

3957
02:18:51,277 --> 02:18:51,576
functions with minimal

3958
02:18:51,576 --> 02:18:53,576
disruption.

3959
02:18:54,914 --> 02:18:55,748
That includes looking at

3960
02:18:55,748 --> 02:18:58,117
agreements and I.T. Systems and

3961
02:18:58,117 --> 02:18:59,585
what capacity is needed to

3962
02:18:59,585 --> 02:19:01,921
maintain those and the legal

3963
02:19:01,921 --> 02:19:04,921
agreements needed to execute it.

3964
02:19:11,430 --> 02:19:12,640
And turn it over to emilio.

3965
02:19:12,640 --> 02:19:14,640
>> department speaker: emilio

3966
02:19:15,635 --> 02:19:18,905
salas and our role is to act as

3967
02:19:18,905 --> 02:19:20,540

3968
02:19:20,540 --> 02:19:20,740
application when that time

3969
02:19:20,740 --> 02:19:22,740
comes.

3970
02:19:23,510 --> 02:19:24,977
And gearing up to identify

3971
02:19:24,977 --> 02:19:26,977
staffing requirements and

3972
02:19:29,615 --> 02:19:32,150
outside consultants that MAY

3973
02:19:32,953 --> 02:19:33,620
needed to enhance our subject

3974
02:19:33,620 --> 02:19:35,388
matter expertise.

3975
02:19:35,388 --> 02:19:38,490
And with emergencies and that we

3976
02:19:38,490 --> 02:19:39,593
are flexible and able to pivot

3977
02:19:39,593 --> 02:19:40,260
at the moment.

3978
02:19:40,260 --> 02:19:42,762
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: I know

3979
02:19:42,762 --> 02:19:44,664
that you communicated to us and

3980
02:19:44,664 --> 02:19:45,130
not our preference to step in

3981
02:19:45,130 --> 02:19:47,130
this way.

3982
02:19:47,234 --> 02:19:48,602
We need to make sure that we are

3983
02:19:48,602 --> 02:19:49,903
prepared to do so that funding

3984
02:19:49,903 --> 02:19:51,438
comes to our region.

3985
02:19:51,438 --> 02:19:52,739
I want to make that clear and I

3986
02:19:52,739 --> 02:19:53,607
know that you communicated that

3987
02:19:53,607 --> 02:19:56,700
to us as well.

3988
02:19:56,575 --> 02:19:58,345
We think we were surprised by

3989
02:19:58,345 --> 02:20:00,180
some comments which were unlike

3990
02:20:00,180 --> 02:20:03,216
our proposal to the coc that

3991
02:20:03,216 --> 02:20:04,451
were made in court on friday.

3992
02:20:04,451 --> 02:20:06,386
Where the mayor expressed a

3993
02:20:06,386 --> 02:20:08,788
desire to have the city of L.A.

3994
02:20:08,788 --> 02:20:10,524
Go it alone.

3995
02:20:10,524 --> 02:20:12,826
I am not sure that she has

3996
02:20:12,826 --> 02:20:13,627
agreement from the council or

3997
02:20:13,627 --> 02:20:16,270
community partners on that.

3998
02:20:16,396 --> 02:20:19,199
In any event what would be the

3999
02:20:19,199 --> 02:20:20,567
risk from region funding if the

4000
02:20:20,567 --> 02:20:23,504
city of los angeles broke away

4001
02:20:23,504 --> 02:20:24,137
to form a new continuum.

4002
02:20:24,137 --> 02:20:25,873
>> department speaker: what I

4003
02:20:25,873 --> 02:20:28,873
want to emphasize how important

4004
02:20:29,243 --> 02:20:32,112
to work as a region to protect

4005
02:20:32,112 --> 02:20:33,213
the 240 million that is keeping

4006
02:20:33,213 --> 02:20:35,820
11,000 people housed today.

4007
02:20:35,820 --> 02:20:36,550
And a lot of infrastructure that

4008
02:20:36,550 --> 02:20:38,685
is needed to maintain a

4009
02:20:38,685 --> 02:20:41,850
successful continuum of care.

4010
02:20:41,221 --> 02:20:43,357
It's a complex program with

4011
02:20:43,357 --> 02:20:44,858
complex sets of requirements and

4012
02:20:44,858 --> 02:20:47,258
requires coordination across the

4013
02:20:47,461 --> 02:20:48,629
city and county.

4014
02:20:48,629 --> 02:20:49,630
And especially how

4015
02:20:49,630 --> 02:20:51,231
interconnectedness of county

4016
02:20:51,231 --> 02:20:53,701
services that are paired with

4017
02:20:53,701 --> 02:20:55,969
the coc housing resources.

4018
02:20:55,969 --> 02:20:58,939
Those two things are linked and

4019
02:20:58,939 --> 02:21:01,410
need to maintain that sort of

4020
02:21:01,410 --> 02:21:03,944
connection and we are just

4021
02:21:03,944 --> 02:21:04,577
stronger together as a region.

4022
02:21:04,577 --> 02:21:07,577
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: and I

4023
02:21:08,615 --> 02:21:10,151
would say the express concerns

4024
02:21:10,151 --> 02:21:11,719
from many leaders in the city of

4025
02:21:11,719 --> 02:21:13,921
los angeles are well documented.

4026
02:21:13,921 --> 02:21:14,989
Given their concerns how will

4027
02:21:14,989 --> 02:21:17,989
you outreach and partner with

4028
02:21:20,494 --> 02:21:21,429
the city of L.A. Confirming the

4029
02:21:21,429 --> 02:21:21,829
county's commitment to

4030
02:21:21,829 --> 02:21:22,329
partnership.

4031
02:21:22,329 --> 02:21:24,329
>> department speaker:

4032
02:21:24,432 --> 02:21:25,199
supervisor we have a

4033
02:21:25,199 --> 02:21:27,199
long-standing relationship with

4034
02:21:27,935 --> 02:21:28,870
the city and long history of

4035
02:21:28,870 --> 02:21:31,270
partnering closely together on

4036
02:21:31,272 --> 02:21:33,672
all things housing related.

4037
02:21:35,309 --> 02:21:38,309
From lacpa perspective we have

4038
02:21:40,810 --> 02:21:42,550
worked close with haca from the

4039
02:21:42,550 --> 02:21:44,418
onset of this emergency and

4040
02:21:44,418 --> 02:21:46,418
considerations and dialogue.

4041
02:21:48,756 --> 02:21:50,224
And when we jointly found out to

4042
02:21:50,224 --> 02:21:52,624
have all emergency housing

4043
02:21:53,270 --> 02:21:55,830
vouchers program, and we issued

4044
02:21:55,830 --> 02:21:58,230
a joint press release.

4045
02:21:58,699 --> 02:22:01,970
When we talked about big status

4046
02:22:01,970 --> 02:22:04,500
families and issued joint

4047
02:22:04,500 --> 02:22:04,305
webinars to work in close

4048
02:22:04,305 --> 02:22:05,540
partnership.

4049
02:22:05,540 --> 02:22:07,940
This time no different.

4050
02:22:08,175 --> 02:22:10,575
>> department speaker: I will

4051
02:22:12,347 --> 02:22:13,681
add from hhs perspective and we

4052
02:22:13,681 --> 02:22:15,490
work closely with the city and

4053
02:22:15,490 --> 02:22:17,217
on this as well.

4054
02:22:17,217 --> 02:22:19,521
And when we saw the letter by

4055
02:22:19,521 --> 02:22:21,589
the mayor and councilor

4056
02:22:21,589 --> 02:22:22,323
PRESIDENT And I reached out to

4057
02:22:22,323 --> 02:22:24,323
meet and discuss.

4058
02:22:24,458 --> 02:22:27,429
And will continue that outreach.

4059
02:22:27,429 --> 02:22:28,496
My team meets biweekly with

4060
02:22:28,496 --> 02:22:30,565
every single council district in

4061
02:22:30,565 --> 02:22:33,234
the city of L.A. To talk about

4062
02:22:33,234 --> 02:22:35,634
street homelessness in their

4063
02:22:35,971 --> 02:22:37,239
districts and talk about their

4064
02:22:37,239 --> 02:22:38,206
priorities and outreach

4065
02:22:38,206 --> 02:22:39,373
priorities happening.

4066
02:22:39,373 --> 02:22:42,973
And my team meets monthly with

4067
02:22:43,311 --> 02:22:46,311
the mayor's office and myself

4068
02:22:47,716 --> 02:22:49,884
and my team meet biweekly with

4069
02:22:49,884 --> 02:22:52,754
coo and caa and essential that

4070
02:22:52,754 --> 02:22:54,356
the city and county are working

4071
02:22:54,356 --> 02:22:55,657
hand in hand.

4072
02:22:55,657 --> 02:22:58,159
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: if I

4073
02:22:58,159 --> 02:22:59,270
can highlight our coo has

4074
02:22:59,270 --> 02:23:00,195
communicated with your

4075
02:23:00,195 --> 02:23:02,664
counterparts of city of L.A.,

4076
02:23:02,664 --> 02:23:03,565
can you talk about who you are

4077
02:23:03,565 --> 02:23:05,233
communicating with as well?

4078
02:23:05,233 --> 02:23:07,350
>> department speaker: I have

4079
02:23:07,350 --> 02:23:09,104
communicated with the city's

4080
02:23:09,104 --> 02:23:10,938
caco, and we have had a number

4081
02:23:10,938 --> 02:23:11,138
of conversations what comes

4082
02:23:11,138 --> 02:23:13,138
next.

4083
02:23:14,243 --> 02:23:16,211
If the court rules in the favor

4084
02:23:16,211 --> 02:23:17,246
of hud, and important in a

4085
02:23:17,246 --> 02:23:18,746
conversation as early as this

4086
02:23:18,746 --> 02:23:19,480
morning that we continue that

4087
02:23:19,480 --> 02:23:21,480
collaborative planning.

4088
02:23:21,583 --> 02:23:23,152
I know that the city has their

4089
02:23:23,152 --> 02:23:25,152
concerns.

4090
02:23:25,154 --> 02:23:28,356
What I emphasized to him at

4091
02:23:28,356 --> 02:23:29,992
least at my level and at sarah's

4092
02:23:29,992 --> 02:23:31,927
level and our work with the

4093
02:23:31,927 --> 02:23:33,862
city, we are open to discussing

4094
02:23:33,862 --> 02:23:35,430
their concerns, what they want

4095
02:23:35,430 --> 02:23:37,232
to achieve.

4096
02:23:37,232 --> 02:23:38,967
Their desired outcomes so we can

4097
02:23:38,967 --> 02:23:39,201
have a collaborative path

4098
02:23:39,201 --> 02:23:41,201
forward.

4099
02:23:41,203 --> 02:23:43,238
I think we recognize that

4100
02:23:43,238 --> 02:23:46,238
working together will solve many

4101
02:23:46,709 --> 02:23:47,643
of the issues we've had for the

4102
02:23:47,643 --> 02:23:49,643
last several years.

4103
02:23:49,778 --> 02:23:52,748
I want him to know that's where

4104
02:23:52,748 --> 02:23:53,615
I was at and I was welcoming the

4105
02:23:53,615 --> 02:23:54,549
dialogue going forward.

4106
02:23:54,549 --> 02:23:56,385
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: I think

4107
02:23:56,385 --> 02:23:59,540
that is helpful and belaboring

4108
02:23:59,540 --> 02:24:00,923
the point, we have heard

4109
02:24:00,923 --> 02:24:02,191
concerns expressed from elected

4110
02:24:02,191 --> 02:24:03,859
officials about lack of

4111
02:24:03,859 --> 02:24:05,859
communication and understanding.

4112
02:24:06,228 --> 02:24:09,828
Sounds like a lot of accord

4113
02:24:09,898 --> 02:24:11,467
naugdz that is happening at

4114
02:24:11,467 --> 02:24:13,867
departmental level and staff

4115
02:24:14,804 --> 02:24:17,600
level and that is important to

4116
02:24:17,600 --> 02:24:19,609
highlight and director mahin you

4117
02:24:19,609 --> 02:24:22,278
talked about working with the

4118
02:24:22,278 --> 02:24:23,112
mayor office and to have that is

4119
02:24:23,112 --> 02:24:25,112
essential going forward.

4120
02:24:25,314 --> 02:24:27,516
It's not just rhetoric, it's

4121
02:24:27,516 --> 02:24:28,584
indeed how we are partnering

4122
02:24:28,584 --> 02:24:30,119
with them.

4123
02:24:30,119 --> 02:24:32,119
And actively coordinating.

4124
02:24:33,222 --> 02:24:34,891
I am glad to hear that is

4125
02:24:34,891 --> 02:24:35,691
happening, thank you very much.

4126
02:24:35,691 --> 02:24:38,910
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair:

4127
02:24:38,728 --> 02:24:39,195
thank you supervisor horvath.

4128
02:24:39,195 --> 02:24:40,295
Supervisor mitchell.

4129
02:24:40,295 --> 02:24:41,731
>> sup. Holly j. Mitchell: thank

4130
02:24:41,731 --> 02:24:43,799
you MADAM Chair and thank you to

4131
02:24:43,799 --> 02:24:44,334
me colleague to bring the motion

4132
02:24:44,334 --> 02:24:46,334
forward.

4133
02:24:46,769 --> 02:24:49,638
I think it's important that we

4134
02:24:49,638 --> 02:24:53,238
shed light on the battle, and

4135
02:24:53,610 --> 02:24:54,744
the battle we are facing is

4136
02:24:54,744 --> 02:24:55,879
against hud and the federal

4137
02:24:55,879 --> 02:24:57,879
administration.

4138
02:24:58,140 --> 02:24:58,314
Let's be clear who the target

4139
02:24:58,314 --> 02:25:00,183
is.

4140
02:25:00,183 --> 02:25:03,783
I support the motion and believe

4141
02:25:03,786 --> 02:25:05,221
we as a county should be

4142
02:25:05,221 --> 02:25:07,656
prepared to act should the board

4143
02:25:07,656 --> 02:25:09,125
designate us.

4144
02:25:09,125 --> 02:25:09,359
Residents -- all eyes are on L.A.

4145
02:25:09,359 --> 02:25:11,359
County.

4146
02:25:13,229 --> 02:25:17,000
When I say L.A. County I mean 88

4147
02:25:17,000 --> 02:25:17,467
cities and hundreds of inn

4148
02:25:17,467 --> 02:25:18,100
unincorporate

4149
02:25:18,100 --> 02:25:20,100
inn

4150
02:25:21,237 --> 02:25:22,906
unincorporated communities.

4151
02:25:22,906 --> 02:25:24,574
residents benefit when our

4152
02:25:24,574 --> 02:25:26,676
systems speak the same language,

4153
02:25:26,676 --> 02:25:29,245
use the same metrics and

4154
02:25:29,245 --> 02:25:30,446
deemployee resources

4155
02:25:30,446 --> 02:25:32,515
strategically across the entire

4156
02:25:32,515 --> 02:25:35,515
region towards a unified goal.

4157
02:25:35,652 --> 02:25:37,154
By bringing the city, county

4158
02:25:37,154 --> 02:25:38,755
partners and service providers

4159
02:25:38,755 --> 02:25:41,124
and local jurisdictions together

4160
02:25:41,124 --> 02:25:43,590
we create a unified front and

4161
02:25:43,590 --> 02:25:44,361
shared goals and corpiated

4162
02:25:44,361 --> 02:25:47,361
investments which I think builds

4163
02:25:47,364 --> 02:25:49,132
a stronger case against the

4164
02:25:49,132 --> 02:25:50,000
unified problem, hud and the

4165
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:52,000
federal government.

4166
02:25:52,350 --> 02:25:53,736
Again a regional approach

4167
02:25:53,736 --> 02:25:56,136
amplifies each partner's impacts

4168
02:25:58,410 --> 02:26:01,410
and builds a seamless continuum

4169
02:26:01,945 --> 02:26:02,879
of services and position the

4170
02:26:02,879 --> 02:26:05,279
region to respond effectively

4171
02:26:05,749 --> 02:26:08,352
for the needs, for those reasons

4172
02:26:08,352 --> 02:26:08,985
support today's motion.

4173
02:26:08,985 --> 02:26:10,820
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: sorry

4174
02:26:10,820 --> 02:26:12,589
to jump in MADAM Chair, I

4175
02:26:12,589 --> 02:26:14,558
learned that we have federal

4176
02:26:14,558 --> 02:26:15,325
representatives here locally

4177
02:26:15,325 --> 02:26:17,325
today.

4178
02:26:17,761 --> 02:26:20,463
I learned that secretary turner

4179
02:26:20,463 --> 02:26:22,366
and kennedy are also here in

4180
02:26:22,366 --> 02:26:24,340
L.A. To talk about this issue.

4181
02:26:24,340 --> 02:26:24,968
I guess it's been highlighted

4182
02:26:24,968 --> 02:26:27,368
from their perspective as

4183
02:26:27,537 --> 02:26:28,672
talking about the homelessness

4184
02:26:28,672 --> 02:26:29,730
industrial complex in los

4185
02:26:29,730 --> 02:26:31,730
angeles.

4186
02:26:32,900 --> 02:26:34,440
And I just wanted to note that

4187
02:26:34,440 --> 02:26:36,847
my office was not contacted by

4188
02:26:36,847 --> 02:26:37,648
them to meet and talk

4189
02:26:37,648 --> 02:26:40,480
substantively about the reforms

4190
02:26:40,117 --> 02:26:40,351
and changes they would like to

4191
02:26:40,351 --> 02:26:41,218
see.

4192
02:26:41,218 --> 02:26:42,586
I don't know if anyone else was

4193
02:26:42,586 --> 02:26:44,586
reached out to.

4194
02:26:44,989 --> 02:26:46,550
But I believe if we want to make

4195
02:26:46,550 --> 02:26:46,690
progress locally we need to get

4196
02:26:46,690 --> 02:26:48,690
in a room.

4197
02:26:48,893 --> 02:26:49,226
We have to have the tough

4198
02:26:49,226 --> 02:26:51,226
conversations.

4199
02:26:51,895 --> 02:26:54,464
We need to talk about what can

4200
02:26:54,464 --> 02:26:56,367
be done differently and what can

4201
02:26:56,367 --> 02:26:57,869
essential to achieving success.

4202
02:26:57,869 --> 02:26:59,370
I think that publicity stunts

4203
02:26:59,370 --> 02:27:01,238
are not the solution.

4204
02:27:01,238 --> 02:27:03,574
I think what we need are people

4205
02:27:03,574 --> 02:27:04,975
who are willing to do the hard

4206
02:27:04,975 --> 02:27:06,776
work, I think that's what this

4207
02:27:06,776 --> 02:27:09,120
motion intends and represents.

4208
02:27:09,120 --> 02:27:10,380
I don't know if any of our

4209
02:27:10,380 --> 02:27:12,780
department leaders were reached

4210
02:27:17,220 --> 02:27:20,220
out by the administration ---

4211
02:27:21,225 --> 02:27:23,225
>> department speaker: neither

4212
02:27:23,361 --> 02:27:24,494
of were.

4213
02:27:24,494 --> 02:27:27,310
>> sup. Lindsey horvath: did you

4214
02:27:27,310 --> 02:27:28,432
know they were coming?

4215
02:27:28,432 --> 02:27:29,933
I highlight that and sincere

4216
02:27:29,933 --> 02:27:31,202
intention to make reform and

4217
02:27:31,202 --> 02:27:31,969
help us accomplish goals and

4218
02:27:31,969 --> 02:27:33,537
make progress.

4219
02:27:33,537 --> 02:27:35,500
It should come with

4220
02:27:35,500 --> 02:27:35,539
collaboration and at least a

4221
02:27:35,539 --> 02:27:37,539
discussion.

4222
02:27:38,276 --> 02:27:39,911
And it might be a tough one but

4223
02:27:39,911 --> 02:27:43,414
one that we have to be open to.

4224
02:27:43,414 --> 02:27:45,550
And if no intention to have a

4225
02:27:45,550 --> 02:27:46,884
conversation, I sincerely

4226
02:27:46,884 --> 02:27:49,354
question whether this effort is

4227
02:27:49,354 --> 02:27:51,754
truly about making something

4228
02:27:51,856 --> 02:27:52,156
better or just about stirring a

4229
02:27:52,156 --> 02:27:53,691
pot.

4230
02:27:53,691 --> 02:27:55,360
Making political headlines but

4231
02:27:55,360 --> 02:27:58,360
not really making a difference.

4232
02:27:58,463 --> 02:28:00,131
I'm glad to see that we are

4233
02:28:00,131 --> 02:28:01,232
taking this work seriously and

4234
02:28:01,232 --> 02:28:03,968
intend to partner with our

4235
02:28:03,968 --> 02:28:04,936
region and continue what we know

4236
02:28:04,936 --> 02:28:05,770
works.

4237
02:28:05,770 --> 02:28:07,405
>> sup. Hilda solis, chair: I am

4238
02:28:07,405 --> 02:28:09,805
not alarmed supervisor horvath

4239
02:28:10,400 --> 02:28:11,776
what is taking place on the

4240
02:28:11,776 --> 02:28:14,176
political scene here today.

4241
02:28:15,460 --> 02:28:17,248
It seems as though we have

4242
02:28:17,248 --> 02:28:19,183
always been mislead by the trump

4243
02:28:19,183 --> 02:28:20,484
administration on many aspects.

4244
02:28:20,484 --> 02:28:21,886
Not just one issue and health

4245
02:28:21,886 --> 02:28:23,989
care and a lot of things.

4246
02:28:23,989 --> 02:28:25,790
It's not surprising and why I

4247
02:28:25,790 --> 02:28:27,625
think this motion is necessary.

4248
02:28:27,625 --> 02:28:29,994
We have to be prepared and ready

4249
02:28:29,994 --> 02:28:32,300
if needed to protect what we

4250
02:28:32,300 --> 02:28:33,231
know, a structure that has been

4251
02:28:33,231 --> 02:28:35,766
put in place for many years and

4252
02:28:35,766 --> 02:28:38,166
the relationships we have.

4253
02:28:38,603 --> 02:28:41,239
And how important indeed our

4254
02:28:41,239 --> 02:28:41,473
constituents rely on this

4255
02:28:41,473 --> 02:28:43,473
service.

4256
02:28:45,477 --> 02:28:48,346
And many people employed in the

4257
02:28:48,346 --> 02:28:49,848
programs and doing hard work and

4258
02:28:49,848 --> 02:28:50,181
probably should be given more

4259
02:28:50,181 --> 02:28:51,249
participation.

4260
02:28:51,249 --> 02:28:52,451
And it's tough on the providers

4261
02:28:52,451 --> 02:28:53,785
and the individuals that stand

4262
02:28:53,785 --> 02:28:55,785
up these programs.

4263
02:28:55,854 --> 02:28:57,522
That's the real story and how we

4264
02:28:57,522 --> 02:28:59,724
are able to impact and many ways

4265
02:28:59,724 --> 02:29:00,692
bring down the number of people

4266
02:29:00,692 --> 02:29:01,860
that are out on the street

4267
02:29:01,860 --> 02:29:03,261
getting care.

4268
02:29:03,261 --> 02:29:03,861
That's really the most important

4269
02:29:03,861 --> 02:29:05,130
thing.

4270
02:29:05,130 --> 02:29:06,798
I wholeheartedly support this,

4271
02:29:06,798 --> 02:29:08,567
and I know you two are doing the

4272
02:29:08,567 --> 02:29:10,567
best you can.

4273
02:29:11,103 --> 02:29:12,971
I applaud both you supervisor

4274
02:29:12,971 --> 02:29:13,372
horvath and barger for bringing

4275
02:29:13,372 --> 02:29:15,372
the motion.

4276
02:29:16,307 --> 02:29:20,745
And I know our ceo and teams are

4277
02:29:20,745 --> 02:29:22,948
working closely on this, time is

4278
02:29:22,948 --> 02:29:23,215
awasting we have to move, thank

4279
02:29:23,215 --> 02:29:24,650
you.

4280
02:29:24,650 --> 02:29:27,650
Seeing that and no other

4281
02:29:28,454 --> 02:29:31,900
questions, go to public comment.

4282
02:29:31,900 --> 02:29:31,790
>> moderator: will the following

4283
02:29:31,790 --> 02:29:34,190
individual come forward and

4284
02:29:35,761 --> 02:29:37,761
staff assist you.

4285
02:29:38,430 --> 02:29:39,131
Roy humphreys your line is open.

4286
02:29:39,131 --> 02:29:40,698
>> telephone speaker: another

4287
02:29:40,698 --> 02:29:41,767
disgusting moment and you get

4288
02:29:41,767 --> 02:29:42,801
what you deserve, we don't

4289
02:29:42,801 --> 02:29:44,801
deserve it.

4290
02:29:45,236 --> 02:29:47,372
The four democrats on the board

4291
02:29:47,372 --> 02:29:50,372
[Inaudible] In the past created

4292
02:29:50,475 --> 02:29:53,212
the monster because you wanted

4293
02:29:53,212 --> 02:29:55,548
to take your left-wing

4294
02:29:55,548 --> 02:29:56,810
propaganda crap to its logical

4295
02:29:56,810 --> 02:29:58,810
conclusion.

4296
02:30:03,222 --> 02:30:05,590
So we are all paying for your

4297
02:30:05,590 --> 02:30:08,590
again, time trying to control

4298
02:30:09,228 --> 02:30:12,297
myself, you do not belong to be

4299
02:30:12,297 --> 02:30:12,999
in office existential threat to

4300
02:30:12,999 --> 02:30:15,134
this state and county and

4301
02:30:15,134 --> 02:30:15,368
everyone that you come in

4302
02:30:15,368 --> 02:30:17,236
contact.

4303
02:30:17,236 --> 02:30:18,471
Look at what the sheriff did in

4304
02:30:18,471 --> 02:30:21,207
the beach area of city of los

4305
02:30:21,207 --> 02:30:24,207
angeles and clean that up.

4306
02:30:24,443 --> 02:30:25,678
The county and city hadn't done

4307
02:30:25,678 --> 02:30:27,678
anything for decades.

4308
02:30:28,848 --> 02:30:32,852
I got to turn it off because

4309
02:30:32,852 --> 02:30:33,185
your people are beyond

4310
02:30:33,185 --> 02:30:34,721
disgusting.

4311
02:30:34,721 --> 02:30:36,721
>> moderator: thank you.

4312
02:30:37,156 --> 02:30:38,223
MADAM Chair no other speakers to

4313
02:30:38,223 --> 02:30:39,692
address the board, remote

4314
02:30:39,692 --> 02:30:41,692
participation is concluded.

4315
02:30:46,980 --> 02:30:47,367
Go to in-person, please begin.

4316
02:30:47,367 --> 02:30:49,767
>> in-person speaker: go ahead,

4317
02:30:50,236 --> 02:30:50,536
emilio, your website needs

4318
02:30:50,536 --> 02:30:52,536
improvement.

4319
02:30:54,700 --> 02:30:57,700
If you do inspections from 7:30

4320
02:30:58,344 --> 02:31:00,344
to 5:30 honor that.

4321
02:31:00,713 --> 02:31:03,216
And before we jump to replacing

4322
02:31:03,216 --> 02:31:03,716
housing and laca has to do

4323
02:31:03,716 --> 02:31:05,716
in-house cleaning.

4324
02:31:05,785 --> 02:31:07,419
Moving forward, what should be

4325
02:31:07,419 --> 02:31:10,560
there, I should have seen one of

4326
02:31:10,560 --> 02:31:11,758
you in david carter's chambers

4327
02:31:11,758 --> 02:31:13,758
on AUGUST 6.

4328
02:31:15,128 --> 02:31:17,130
Not mayor karen bass who called

4329
02:31:17,130 --> 02:31:19,665
during lunch but one of you to

4330
02:31:19,665 --> 02:31:20,400
be in the room would have made a

4331
02:31:20,400 --> 02:31:22,400
difference.

4332
02:31:23,136 --> 02:31:25,271
We can't demonize hud when los

4333
02:31:25,271 --> 02:31:26,306
angeles county has been

4334
02:31:26,306 --> 02:31:28,174
misappropriation homeless

4335
02:31:28,174 --> 02:31:30,142
capital of the world, hello.

4336
02:31:30,142 --> 02:31:31,411
People are not trying to vilify

4337
02:31:31,411 --> 02:31:33,480
people, do the right thing.

4338
02:31:33,480 --> 02:31:37,800
You have an agency that is

4339
02:31:38,510 --> 02:31:41,510
asking for 241 million to keep

4340
02:31:41,221 --> 02:31:41,755
staff, not to house the

4341
02:31:41,755 --> 02:31:43,755
homeless.

4342
02:31:44,791 --> 02:31:47,761
Oops that's a freudian slip, she

4343
02:31:47,761 --> 02:31:47,994
said that in chambers and I am

4344
02:31:47,994 --> 02:31:49,994
ashamed.

4345
02:31:50,697 --> 02:31:53,970

speaker please.

4347
02:31:57,204 --> 02:31:58,380
Please begin.

4348
02:31:58,380 --> 02:32:00,438
>> in-person speaker: claudia, I

4349
02:32:02,142 --> 02:32:05,245
work with coc individuals and I

4350
02:32:05,245 --> 02:32:05,812
understand how the program

4351
02:32:05,812 --> 02:32:07,812
works.

4352
02:32:09,950 --> 02:32:12,850
I believe that you are very

4353
02:32:12,850 --> 02:32:13,520
important that you make an

4354
02:32:13,520 --> 02:32:14,855
assessment and you make audits

4355
02:32:14,855 --> 02:32:17,758
of these programs before you

4356
02:32:17,758 --> 02:32:18,158
move forward with funding of 240

4357
02:32:18,158 --> 02:32:19,860
million.

4358
02:32:19,860 --> 02:32:22,729
There is a lot of restructuring

4359
02:32:22,729 --> 02:32:23,130
that you will do, but make your

4360
02:32:23,130 --> 02:32:24,932
assessment.

4361
02:32:24,932 --> 02:32:26,333
Make your audits.

4362
02:32:26,333 --> 02:32:28,333
Ask questions.

4363
02:32:28,502 --> 02:32:30,902
From the workers, especially

4364
02:32:30,938 --> 02:32:31,171
case managers that work with

4365
02:32:31,171 --> 02:32:33,171
clients.

4366
02:32:34,508 --> 02:32:34,842
They have the coc bracket on

4367
02:32:34,842 --> 02:32:36,842
them.

4368
02:32:37,770 --> 02:32:39,446
And get some input from them.

4369
02:32:39,446 --> 02:32:41,114
You know, get input from them,

4370
02:32:41,114 --> 02:32:41,448
get input from the supervisors,

4371
02:32:41,448 --> 02:32:42,883
all them.

4372
02:32:42,883 --> 02:32:44,652
And ask some questions.

4373
02:32:44,652 --> 02:32:46,487
How does it work?

4374
02:32:46,487 --> 02:32:49,123
How does this work, how this

4375
02:32:49,123 --> 02:32:52,626
will work in order to make

4376
02:32:52,626 --> 02:32:54,528
feasible change for the county.

4377
02:32:54,528 --> 02:32:55,329
And save money --

4378
02:32:55,329 --> 02:32:56,931

4425
02:34:25,787 --> 02:34:27,555
regarding legislation to respond

4426
02:34:27,555 --> 02:34:29,224
to lineage fire.

4427
02:34:29,224 --> 02:34:30,659
After the agenda filed last

4428
02:34:30,659 --> 02:34:32,660
friday trautt brought to my

4429
02:34:32,660 --> 02:34:33,929
attention a pair of bills moving

4430
02:34:33,929 --> 02:34:36,329
forward in sacramento in

4431
02:34:36,898 --> 02:34:37,899
response to the lineage fire and

4432
02:34:37,899 --> 02:34:40,299
that includes legislation by

4433
02:34:41,236 --> 02:34:42,103
senator deerageio to give the

4434
02:34:42,103 --> 02:34:44,503
county additional authority to

4435
02:34:45,173 --> 02:34:47,776
have fines on parties like

4436
02:34:47,776 --> 02:34:49,244
lineage that fail to address and

4437
02:34:49,244 --> 02:34:50,912
believe environmental needs.

4438
02:34:50,912 --> 02:34:53,248
And legislation filed by

4439
02:34:53,248 --> 02:34:56,248
assembly member mark gonzales to

4440
02:34:56,752 --> 02:34:59,752
provide the councily to address

4441
02:34:59,754 --> 02:35:01,223
flies and vermins that residents

4442
02:35:01,223 --> 02:35:02,758
are contending now.

4443
02:35:02,758 --> 02:35:05,226
Given that the state legislation

4444
02:35:05,226 --> 02:35:08,226
needs to pass before AUGUST 31,

4445
02:35:08,830 --> 02:35:11,533
which proceeds our next board

4446
02:35:11,533 --> 02:35:12,900
meeting, it's impair to give our

4447
02:35:12,900 --> 02:35:14,690
departments the needed authority

4448
02:35:14,690 --> 02:35:16,710
to engage on the legislation on

4449
02:35:16,710 --> 02:35:17,639
these two bills in particular.

4450
02:35:17,639 --> 02:35:18,940
And as well as provide the

4451
02:35:18,940 --> 02:35:20,709
needed flex eblt to provide

4452
02:35:20,709 --> 02:35:22,311
feedback on support on the bills

4453
02:35:22,311 --> 02:35:22,544
after our engagement with the

4454
02:35:22,544 --> 02:35:24,544
authors.

4455
02:35:25,247 --> 02:35:28,584
To that end I would like to read

4456
02:35:28,584 --> 02:35:31,584
in directives of a motion,

4457
02:35:32,187 --> 02:35:32,954
pursuant to government code

4458
02:35:32,954 --> 02:35:35,457
5.95.2b2 I move that the board

4459
02:35:35,457 --> 02:35:37,893
determine there is a need to

4460
02:35:37,893 --> 02:35:40,429
take immediate action and the

4461
02:35:40,429 --> 02:35:42,898
need to take this action

4462
02:35:42,898 --> 02:35:44,934
subsequent to the posting of

4463
02:35:44,934 --> 02:35:46,468
agenda for today's meeting.

4464
02:35:46,468 --> 02:35:49,237
And I further move that the

4465
02:35:49,237 --> 02:35:51,573
board of supervisors provide for

4466
02:35:51,573 --> 02:35:53,242

4467
02:35:53,242 --> 02:35:55,242

increase legislations that

4475
02:36:10,259 --> 02:36:12,659
county impose on larger

4476
02:36:13,762 --> 02:36:16,432
violators and provide the county

4477
02:36:16,432 --> 02:36:17,800
with additional enforcement

4478
02:36:17,800 --> 02:36:19,680
tools to address pests and

4479
02:36:19,680 --> 02:36:20,836
vermins and provide the county

4480
02:36:20,836 --> 02:36:22,939

As community continues to

4486
02:36:33,682 --> 02:36:35,284
contend with the recovery and

4487
02:36:35,284 --> 02:36:35,718
fall out of this environmental

4489
02:36:37,920 --> 02:36:40,222
I want to ensure that the county

4490
02:36:40,222 --> 02:36:42,391

02:36:42,391 --> 02:36:45,228

morning, I am here on behalf of

los angeles lgbtq+ center of the

4542

cult of transitioned youth.

4543
02:38:50,540 --> 02:38:52,823
And this is critical for people

4544
02:38:52,823 --> 02:38:54,992
and lgbtq+ youth relying on

4545
02:38:54,992 --> 02:38:56,327
housing and network of care to

4546
02:38:56,327 --> 02:38:58,327
build stable futures.

4547
02:39:01,232 --> 02:39:03,533
And disruption of funding can

4548
02:39:03,533 --> 02:39:05,202
have consequences and pushing

4549
02:39:05,202 --> 02:39:05,536

4553
02:39:14,812 --> 02:39:16,812

02:39:17,114 --> 02:39:19,160
We ask that you make

4555
02:39:19,160 --> 02:39:21,251
homelessness services a priority

4556
02:39:21,251 --> 02:39:23,540

4621
02:41:53,839 --> 02:41:55,708
Governmental mechanisms and

4622
02:41:55,708 --> 02:41:58,100
rebuilding from disaster and we

4623
02:41:58,100 --> 02:41:59,344
as a community should be

4624
02:41:59,344 --> 02:42:01,847
responsible for all of our

4625
02:42:01,847 --> 02:42:03,847
actions and mishaps.

4626
02:42:03,916 --> 02:42:05,170
I think rebuilding from

02:42:05,170 --> 02:42:07,170
environmental destruction you

4628
02:42:09,254 --> 02:42:12,254
need accountability, you need to

4629
02:42:12,725 --> 02:42:14,694
identify possible hazards.

4630
02:42:14,694 --> 02:42:15,194
Punitive damages for

4631
02:42:15,194 --> 02:42:17,194
individuals.

4632
02:42:17,396 --> 02:42:19,264
Reimagine a new way forward

4633
02:42:19,264 --> 02:42:21,233
through education and

4634
02:42:21,233 --> 02:42:23,633
instruction actually for young

4635
02:42:25,271 --> 02:42:26,973
adults and children.

4636
02:42:26,973 --> 02:42:28,874
Environmental destructions are

4637
02:42:28,874 --> 02:42:30,742
very detrimental to our

4638
02:42:30,742 --> 02:42:34,246
environment and what we see in

4639
02:42:34,246 --> 02:42:35,914
lineage is a very, very good

4640
02:42:35,914 --> 02:42:37,914
example of irresponsible

4641
02:42:40,953 --> 02:42:44,156

young people.

4649
02:42:57,837 --> 02:43:00,339
Even a short disruption in

4650
02:43:00,339 --> 02:43:01,240
services can mean losing housing

4651
02:43:01,240 --> 02:43:01,907
and stability and trusted

4652
02:43:01,907 --> 02:43:03,907

4653
02:43:04,677 --> 02:43:07,480
We urge the county to back fill

with organizations and service

in care.

4660
02:43:16,322 --> 02:43:17,890
Our young people cannot afford

4661
02:43:17,890 --> 02:43:20,290
disruption in services they

4662
02:43:20,626 --> 02:43:22,626
depend on.

community represents consortium.

4668
02:43:33,406 --> 02:43:35,475
A network of 104 community-based

4669
02:43:35,475 --> 02:43:37,475
organizations working together

4670
02:43:39,913 --> 02:43:42,449
to strengthen the clw workforce

4671
02:43:42,449 --> 02:43:44,350
across the county and thank

4672
02:43:44,350 --> 02:43:46,350
supervisor horvath for

4673
02:43:47,821 --> 02:43:49,122
recognizing the vital role that

4674
02:43:49,122 --> 02:43:51,122
health workers play.

4675
02:43:52,325 --> 02:43:54,627
This motion reflects values that

4676
02:43:54,627 --> 02:43:57,230
consortium holds at core and

4677
02:43:57,230 --> 02:43:58,732
building recollaboration across

4678
02:43:58,732 --> 02:44:00,866
county and community partners.

4679
02:44:00,866 --> 02:44:02,200
And the populations with the

4680

greatest neated and those

4681
02:44:03,469 --> 02:44:04,670
identified in the 2020 expansion

4682
02:44:04,670 --> 02:44:06,740
are not left behind.

4683
02:44:06,740 --> 02:44:09,242
And encouraged by the focus on

4684
02:44:09,242 --> 02:44:11,780
youth engagement and data

4685
02:44:11,780 --> 02:44:12,813
transparency because a stronger

4686
02:44:12,813 --> 02:44:14,947
program means more county

4687
02:44:14,947 --> 02:44:16,316
residents can access care.

4688
02:44:16,316 --> 02:44:17,684
We stand in support of this

4689
02:44:17,684 --> 02:44:19,185
motion and look for the county

4690
02:44:19,185 --> 02:44:22,185
to bring it to life.

4691
02:44:22,623 --> 02:44:23,757
Thank you very much and have a

4695

availability of housing.

4704
02:44:54,154 --> 02:44:57,257
Housing is not a problem, a lot

4705
02:44:57,257 --> 02:44:58,926
of empty units and veterans out

4706
02:44:58,926 --> 02:45:00,226
