Chairman, there are no report of elections at this time.

00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:17,480
This by honor to be here again this morning to again open an invocation and to again look

29
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,800
at the wording underneath your county crest of in God we trust.

30
00:09:22,420 --> 00:09:24,720
And so with that, let's open and prayer.

31
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Heavenly Father, we thank you to stay that we can bring your blessings into this chamber.

32
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,720
We ask that you continue to bless the employees and the Board of Supervisors.

33
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,000
They continue to do the work.

34
00:09:37,420 --> 00:09:40,720
Lord, I'm reminded of the words that are found in Proverbs chapter 13,

35
00:09:41,740 --> 00:09:45,580
about that there's abundance that follow ground of the poor.

36
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,620
Lord, all we have to do is start to change things around a little bit

37
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:51,960
and we'll find the richness in that soil.

38
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:57,080
I thank you that there's never an ending in the beginnings of you.

39
00:09:57,260 --> 00:09:58,400
There's always creation.

40
00:09:59,180 --> 00:10:02,600
And I thank you that we don't live in the echoes of yesterday.

41
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,420
But in the freshness of a new word, a new voice that will continue to go forward.

42
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,720
Lord, I thank you for the destiny of Medira County.

43
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:15,560
I pray you're blessing over it and the blessing of this meeting.

44
00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:17,300
We pray that in your name, amen.

45
00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:24,690
Please join me in food in our fight, ready to sew it.

46
00:10:24,730 --> 00:10:31,430
I'd like to introduce you to the fight of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

47
00:10:32,070 --> 00:10:36,770
One nation and another God, the individual with liberty and justice for all.

48
00:10:59,510 --> 00:11:07,530
Folks, we're not opening clothes and memory of Vincent Gonzalez, which is my chief of staff's brother.

49
00:11:09,130 --> 00:11:17,760
I believe he was 43 years old. Vince was born April the 28th, 1975, in the Gerard

50
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:24,900
California, and was raised in South Carolina, California. He was a devoted family man. He

51
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:30,720
most enjoyed spending time with his wife, and he had five children. He spent a lot of time

52
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:37,100
traveling to visit family in the year and far. He was incredibly funny. Always looking

53
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:43,980
ways to make those around him laugh. He was also very thoughtful. He always took the time to

54
00:11:43,980 --> 00:11:51,040
help those in need. He left the scene. He left the dance. He also enjoyed barbecue and

55
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,460
maintain in his yard and working on his truck and spending time with his friends.

56
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,460
This station will be Tuesday, December 12, 2017, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

57
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,980
with this station of the Rosary beginning at 7 p.m. at Jay's Chapel in Madera.

58
00:12:12,860 --> 00:12:21,380
In mass of Christian burial will be Wednesday, December 13, 2017, and Sam Joke from the Catholic Church of Madera.

59
00:12:21,380 --> 00:12:25,200
In turn, I'm going to follow it, Arbor Bita, Cemetery in there.

60
00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:35,110
I knew that it was quite a bit.

61
00:12:35,210 --> 00:12:37,390
He used to come up to my cabin with these kids and stuff.

62
00:12:38,630 --> 00:12:42,570
Not only a great guy, it was really hard work or two, but I also have one.

63
00:12:42,730 --> 00:12:45,910
We lost a great lady up at the O'Neill's Pat Washburn.

64
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:49,190
Ryan actually has a maiden name.

65
00:12:49,470 --> 00:12:53,550
The Ryan Ranch and Hodoris has been there for a couple hundred years, probably.

66
00:12:53,550 --> 00:13:01,470
150 anyway, and she was 91 years old and she passed away a couple weeks ago, and she was a great lady

67
00:13:01,470 --> 00:13:08,670
She had done so much for 4-H and FFA kids that you can't even believe, so we're going to miss her and gifts it very much

68
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:10,390
Thank you

69
00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:17,020
Public comment

70
00:13:17,020 --> 00:13:23,540
The first 15 minutes of each regular session is set aside for members of the public to comment on any item within the jurisdiction of the board

71
00:13:23,540 --> 00:13:29,800
but not appearing on the agenda. I was presented under public comment may not be discussed or acted upon by the board at this time.

72
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,800
For items appearing on the agenda, the public is invited to comment at the time the item is called for consideration by the board.

73
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:43,240
Any person addressing the board under public comment will be limited to a three-minute presentation to ensure that all interests are parties have an opportunity to speak.

74
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:47,740
Any handouts for the board must be submitted to the chief clerk of the board for distribution to the supervisors.

75
00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:54,360
Anyone addressing the board is asked to print their name clearly on this speaker sheet at the podium. Also all persons addressing the board

76
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,980
May state their name and county residents for the record.

77
00:13:59,370 --> 00:14:07,650
Good morning. Good morning. Todd Bellar Auditor controlor. Nice tie. Thank you. Show yours.

78
00:14:11,410 --> 00:14:11,970
I

79
00:14:14,530 --> 00:14:17,930
do it on purpose, I celebrate Christmas all the time.

80
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:23,710
Supervisor C.A.O. and Residence Medare County.

81
00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:31,750
After a year of hard work by the staff of the other controller's office, I am pleased to deliver 125 certified

82
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:35,050
of special districts of Medera County.

83
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,520
Special districts are the road districts, water districts,

84
00:14:45,340 --> 00:14:52,660
and lighting districts owned by the residents within those districts and managed by the county.

85
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:59,960
But assuming the office of water controller, I was surprised to learn that we were

86
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,460
We're not had not, and I don't know if we ever had, done the state mandate and certified audits for all of these

87
00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:14,360
special districts. Without reliable financial information, the residents within these special

88
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:20,860
districts, the employees who are tasked with carrying out work in those special districts, and the

89
00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:26,160
managers of those special districts, which is the Board of Supervisors did not have the proper

90
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,060
information to make informed and rational decisions, that era is over.

91
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:37,520
I would like to acknowledge these systems received from public works and the independent

92
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,780
auditorium of Moss Adams L.O.P.

93
00:15:42,770 --> 00:15:48,430
Further, I want to acknowledge the staff of the order to control their bottles, who, in addition

94
00:15:48,430 --> 00:15:53,890
to their regular work, took on this task and got it done.

95
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:55,590
Specifically,

96
00:15:57,630 --> 00:15:59,850
the one who started managing this project was

97
00:15:59,850 --> 00:16:03,770
dire, a wiser who had since retired, and I'd like to ask them to

98
00:16:03,770 --> 00:16:08,450
stand. They have, in their possession, that those reports, all 125, I'd

99
00:16:08,450 --> 00:16:12,610
like to ask them to stand, as I read their name. The person who took over and

100
00:16:12,610 --> 00:16:19,730
manages project was Elaine Coe, Sharon Briscov, who could not be here today,

101
00:16:19,730 --> 00:16:25,430
our Chief Accountant, Roger Cardosa, who's on assignment and our Chief Internal Auditor and

102
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:33,630
also cannot be here, Assistant Joint Jim Boyazian, and Accountants Meli Bright, Navdip Singh,

103
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:38,710
Sabrina Rodriguez, Sherry Davis, and Victoria County.

104
00:16:39,630 --> 00:16:46,830
Let me tell you guys, not only do this project for me, but also are the ones responsible

105
00:16:46,830 --> 00:16:50,950
for getting the financial statements done for the county on time.

106
00:16:51,890 --> 00:16:52,790
Thank you.

107
00:16:58,260 --> 00:17:06,100
Finally, I need to acknowledge you, Board of Supervisors and CAO, who have seen the need

108
00:17:06,100 --> 00:17:11,360
and provided the auditor control office with the resources to get this job done.

109
00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:17,300
The financial papers will be posted to our website and will be available to all,

110
00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:21,180
including

111
00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:25,960
special districts. Thank you. We have to stand up one more time. We have a picture.

112
00:17:38,170 --> 00:17:42,970
I just want to thank all of you and Todd for doing this.

113
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:50,730
This is in December. I don't know if I'm a nerd because of this, but thank you for the best Christmas present right now.

114
00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:58,570
We go through the end of the year every year and in June looking at our budgets and we don't know how much money

115
00:17:58,570 --> 00:18:04,990
kind of I guess I just want to thank you for actually looking into this and providing us with

116
00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:14,730
the information that we're going to need and public worship has done a good job. I trust

117
00:18:14,730 --> 00:18:20,410
them with the numbers but it's just nice to have this part of it so that we know where we're going

118
00:18:20,410 --> 00:18:25,290
because without proper information we're never going to get out of some of these problems and issues

119
00:18:25,290 --> 00:18:25,950
that we're having.

120
00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:29,330
And so the fact that we can now point to them

121
00:18:29,330 --> 00:18:32,410
to say, no, this is actually an audited statement.

122
00:18:33,070 --> 00:18:35,670
It says a lot to the residents where we're going out there

123
00:18:35,670 --> 00:18:40,670
and talking with them at their meetings.

124
00:18:41,790 --> 00:18:43,470
And so I just want to thank you.

125
00:18:43,630 --> 00:18:46,890
This special district has been the vein of my existence.

126
00:18:46,970 --> 00:18:50,690
And this is a step to making it a lot better.

127
00:18:50,970 --> 00:18:52,150
So thank you very much.

128
00:18:52,530 --> 00:18:53,190
Thank you.

129
00:18:57,570 --> 00:19:03,070
I just wanted to add to what Brett said, you know, you can't make decisions on finances

130
00:19:03,070 --> 00:19:07,410
if you don't know how much money you can't spend more than you have, and if you don't

131
00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:09,370
know what you're taking in, that's kind of hard to spend.

132
00:19:10,390 --> 00:19:16,790
But thank you Todd, since you've been here, it's just a pleasure to look at the budgets to

133
00:19:16,790 --> 00:19:21,290
do the job that we have to do because you made it easy for us by knowing what we've got

134
00:19:21,290 --> 00:19:27,970
deal with. And we've got a great team. I've got to say from the auditor's office all

135
00:19:27,970 --> 00:19:34,610
the way up to the CAO and our budget directors and everybody, the people of Medira County

136
00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:41,190
need to know that this team has achieved amazing things. When I came in 2011 we were

137
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:47,830
$12 million in debt. We no longer have that debt. We achieved a plus rating a couple of years

138
00:19:47,830 --> 00:19:50,950
for Standard and Pores, which we'd never had or rating,

139
00:19:51,530 --> 00:19:52,710
we were so bad off.

140
00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:57,130
And now we have a double A rating, so we've been bumped up.

141
00:19:57,390 --> 00:19:58,750
And we're getting better and better.

142
00:19:59,050 --> 00:20:01,190
Our financial houses in order folks.

143
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:02,010
And that's awesome.

144
00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:02,890
Thank you, Todd.

145
00:20:03,150 --> 00:20:04,350
Next year will be better yet.

146
00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:06,430
Todd is a chairman here.

147
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:09,010
I also want to add my opinion on that.

148
00:20:09,010 --> 00:20:11,850
Thank you for clarifying the financial condition of Maduro County.

149
00:20:12,190 --> 00:20:13,770
It makes our job a lot easier.

150
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:14,830
Thank you very much.

151
00:20:20,330 --> 00:20:24,930
Good morning Mr. Chairman members of the board. I'm out of the public works director.

152
00:20:25,410 --> 00:20:29,150
I just want to be here on the record to thank Todd Miller and his team.

153
00:20:29,730 --> 00:20:37,050
I mean, we had a, of course, they're always there when we needed them, but especially these last two to three weeks.

154
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:46,610
I would say they literally had a drop everything in the public works on two issues, which funding was in jeopardy.

155
00:20:46,610 --> 00:20:50,130
So, I thank you for that and thank all of you for everything.

156
00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:51,690
Job will come and thank you.

157
00:20:52,010 --> 00:20:52,690
Yeah, well done.

158
00:20:53,070 --> 00:20:53,610
Thank you.

159
00:21:05,630 --> 00:21:06,510
Good morning.

160
00:21:06,710 --> 00:21:07,170
Good morning.

161
00:21:07,170 --> 00:21:07,430
Good morning.

162
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:07,850
Good morning.

163
00:21:07,850 --> 00:21:07,910
Good morning.

164
00:21:07,910 --> 00:21:10,110
Sarah Bosk, public health director, and.

165
00:21:10,210 --> 00:21:11,750
Good morning, Medira County Sheriff.

166
00:21:12,810 --> 00:21:15,250
We're here to share with you a new service.

167
00:21:15,450 --> 00:21:18,090
We've been collaborating to write a new service in Medira County.

168
00:21:19,310 --> 00:21:24,630
And as you all know, the opioid crisis is really becoming an issue in the United States.

169
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:29,450
of overdoses or the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States causing

170
00:21:29,450 --> 00:21:31,730
more deaths than car accidents.

171
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:35,250
And opioids are responsible for these deaths.

172
00:21:35,630 --> 00:21:41,210
As you may know, it includes heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers, such as morphine,

173
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:44,250
methadone, hydrocodone, noxiecodone.

174
00:21:44,670 --> 00:21:47,270
And in Medare County, we have been affected by this epidemic.

175
00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:53,770
The highest number of opioid deaths is in course-gold with 13 deaths per 100,000 people, followed

176
00:21:53,770 --> 00:21:58,910
by Chao Chilla with eight deaths per 100,000 in the city of Madera with six deaths per

177
00:21:58,910 --> 00:21:59,630
100,000.

178
00:21:59,630 --> 00:22:00,770
This is a serious issue.

179
00:22:01,870 --> 00:22:05,590
So there's a really good option for us to be able to use.

180
00:22:05,730 --> 00:22:07,070
You might have heard of Narcan.

181
00:22:08,090 --> 00:22:10,870
Naloxin is the actual name of that drug.

182
00:22:11,110 --> 00:22:13,170
Narcan is the brand name.

183
00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:17,370
It works almost immediately to reduce an opiate overdose.

184
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:24,710
And it has nearly no known adverse side effects, no potential for abuse and can be rapidly administered.

185
00:22:25,050 --> 00:22:26,030
So it's a great option.

186
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:32,970
Most healthcare providers, first responders, are equipped with in the lockson, but unfortunately

187
00:22:32,970 --> 00:22:39,510
due to the size of our county, many emergency providers are not able to arrive on time in order

188
00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:40,850
to administer it.

189
00:22:40,850 --> 00:22:46,170
However, trained in equipped non-health care providers can effectively respond and reverse

190
00:22:46,170 --> 00:22:48,290
an opiate overdose using nooxin.

191
00:22:49,230 --> 00:22:53,510
So Medary County Public Health and the Sheriff's Office are working together through a grant

192
00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:55,710
from the California Department of Public Health.

193
00:22:56,630 --> 00:23:02,310
And under this grant, we are provided with 330 doses of nooxin, saving the county $12,400.

194
00:23:03,730 --> 00:23:09,170
And we have received so far, 186 doses, we get them in two shipments, and they were received

195
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:15,210
this month, giving nooxin to the sheriff's deputies' increases chances of reversing an

196
00:23:15,210 --> 00:23:20,330
at overdose and potentially saving the lives of county residents, as well as law enforcement

197
00:23:20,330 --> 00:23:23,390
who have also been exposed to fentanyl in particular.

198
00:23:24,290 --> 00:23:29,650
So Sheriff Staff have been trained to administer in the lockson and have participated also

199
00:23:29,650 --> 00:23:34,250
in a train the trainer program to be able to provide training to other law enforcement agencies

200
00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:35,230
in the dirt county.

201
00:23:35,970 --> 00:23:41,550
Yesterday Public Health transferred 146 doses to the Sheriff's Department, 40 doses have been

202
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:46,770
observed as we are planning to train the Churchill Police Department as well.

203
00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:52,910
And the grant will end in June of 2018 when we receive our second shipment of 144 doses,

204
00:23:53,330 --> 00:23:55,090
and it is unlikely to repeat.

205
00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:59,870
So we will be working together to be able to identify ways to sustain this service to

206
00:23:59,870 --> 00:24:00,730
the dirt county.

207
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:02,350
Excellent.

208
00:24:02,830 --> 00:24:07,690
So the only thing I had is we're seeing fentanyl use more and more in conjunction with

209
00:24:07,690 --> 00:24:09,230
other drugs, even including marijuana.

210
00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:14,350
It's a very small amount created in overdose for you.

211
00:24:14,490 --> 00:24:18,450
So once you're opioid and faced overdoses that the public's having

212
00:24:18,450 --> 00:24:20,970
are probably more prescription-based or heroin-based.

213
00:24:21,230 --> 00:24:21,450
But what?

214
00:24:22,030 --> 00:24:24,650
As fentanyl becomes more popular, which I don't know why you would

215
00:24:24,650 --> 00:24:28,910
take something that can kill you if you get the dose of job by that much.

216
00:24:28,910 --> 00:24:32,250
But we're really concerned about the health of our county employees

217
00:24:32,250 --> 00:24:33,790
and our public safety employees.

218
00:24:33,970 --> 00:24:37,110
Especially if we go out to these places who want to be equipped

219
00:24:37,110 --> 00:24:41,790
So, one of the people that we're honoring today here, from my shop, is a can-and-hander,

220
00:24:41,890 --> 00:24:44,130
we can even give it to the dog if needed.

221
00:24:45,270 --> 00:24:50,670
So, we really appreciate public health of helping push this through and it's a big, we'll

222
00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:54,390
continue to be a big safety issue as long as this epidemic goes on.

223
00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:55,530
Thank you.

224
00:24:55,570 --> 00:24:56,270
Thank you, guys.

225
00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:56,830
So much.

226
00:24:57,670 --> 00:24:58,510
Thank you very much.

227
00:25:06,580 --> 00:25:07,200
Good morning.

228
00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:11,580
Brittany Dyer, District Chief of Staff to Supervisor Tom Wheeler, District 5.

229
00:25:11,580 --> 00:25:17,720
I just wanted to let you guys know that Medare County participated yesterday in a meeting in Sacramento with the Governor's

230
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,580
Tremor Taldi Task Force, where they released the new number of dead trees.

231
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,960
This was a release from the Forest Service, the Governor's Tremor Taldi Task Force in Calfire.

232
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:35,940
The new number is 129 million. So that's an increase of 27 million trees, dead trees in the last eight months.

233
00:25:35,940 --> 00:25:53,980
They also released a number we've been able to calculate our combined efforts among all the land managers, counties, community groups, and we have been able to take down a total of 1 million trees, which has been a huge effort, but as you can tell with the scale and the scope, it's really just the tip of the iceberg.

234
00:25:54,940 --> 00:26:00,460
So those numbers were released in conjunction with the task force yesterday. Any questions?

235
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:12,680
Was that count before some of the wildfires that came through or any of those removed from the count went through October of this year?

236
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:23,780
They in fact be a original fly over that took place. There was still snow on the ground. So we were able to get some extra dollars and count fire supported a later fly that ended in October.

237
00:26:23,780 --> 00:26:29,820
Do they have any estimate of how many trees were taken out during those wildfires left there?

238
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Thank you, Brittany.

239
00:26:32,180 --> 00:26:32,920
We have any secrets.

240
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,840
It's just a reminder, Wheeler.

241
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,620
Thank you.

242
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,220
On the same subject, I've had a lot of people in last three years come up to me and say they're

243
00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:46,120
Home insurance got canceled or a double triple in what Agua.

244
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,220
Last weekend I got my mail and I got my notice from the Hartford insurance.

245
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:57,460
So if you guys have heart for dump them, they dump me, my home insurance.

246
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,940
So I have no insurance now, and it says no longer qualified for coverage under this program

247
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:08,680
due to the wild fire exposure, like we have a choice on this.

248
00:27:09,140 --> 00:27:14,680
And so my insurance is dumped, and my agents trying to find me some, but I got to have it

249
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:15,300
by it.

250
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,780
It runs out in January, otherwise I don't know what to do with my loan on my house even

251
00:27:20,780 --> 00:27:24,860
So, because I got to have insurance, but that's what's happening to us up there because

252
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:27,800
of this, the fires and all of our dead trees.

253
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,280
So, I felt so sorry for some of the people who's done it, and I got the same notice.

254
00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:36,880
And as you know, many people are going through that, we do have an insurance working

255
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,380
group that's trying to tackle that issue, we're, you know, able to discuss that with the

256
00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:43,280
governor's office and some of the insurance groups.

257
00:27:43,620 --> 00:27:48,760
I will say one of the if there is a pro in some of the fire activities that have happened

258
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:55,620
Napa happening in October and then now with the Southern fires we have a lot more support from decision makers than we've had in the past

259
00:27:55,620 --> 00:27:59,100
It's not just the Sierra's saying hey, we need this. We need this

260
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:06,200
So we are trying to build off that momentum and get recognized and her husband Gilbert's a four-sures firefighter

261
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,940
He had to go down. I went to first start then you piling in the home before Christmas

262
00:28:10,580 --> 00:28:11,020
So

263
00:28:11,740 --> 00:28:14,480
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you

264
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,940
Yeah, such a huge issue.

265
00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:18,600
I was up in near the fish camp,

266
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,220
I had a sugar pine mountain railroad area.

267
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,400
And observed that portion of that burn up there.

268
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,300
And I noticed all along the way.

269
00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:31,400
A lot of logging has been done through move dead trees.

270
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,040
But it's like the state needs to learn that old adage

271
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,260
and also preventions worth the pound of cure.

272
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,860
We should have been managing these forests better a long time

273
00:28:43,860 --> 00:28:52,860
go and putting their dollars into cleaning the forest week. Actually we could do that by

274
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:58,060
reasonable logging and grazing and all the things we used to do. So we need to bring

275
00:28:58,060 --> 00:29:03,680
those practices back and I'm not speaking to you. You get it. You're one of the people

276
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:09,340
get it. But just for the public to keep educating the public. We're also losing water as

277
00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:11,580
the result of the overdraft and the worrisome.

278
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:18,340
It's all these to be taken care of before we spend billions of dollars in catastrophic

279
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:24,300
fires and lose the ability to ensure our homes in the hills.

280
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,240
That's just, that's kept, that would be in and of itself.

281
00:29:28,860 --> 00:29:33,280
And Chairman, if you don't mind, I just also like to thank the public, our road's department

282
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:38,460
and OES and Cal Fire on Monday night, we had a large wind event that came around the lake

283
00:29:38,460 --> 00:29:42,940
where over 60 trees fell, you know, that's also a concern in and around

284
00:29:42,940 --> 00:29:46,940
tree mortality. And everybody came out in the middle of the night and took care of

285
00:29:46,940 --> 00:29:49,820
it and cleaned it up and worked collaboratively. So I think that really speaks a

286
00:29:49,820 --> 00:29:52,320
lot for the collaborative work that we're doing on this effort.

287
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,500
Give our road crew a heck of a handy, we're out for our road and oh yes, and by home God

288
00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,540
hit and one trader house got hit.

289
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:18,740
Home was completely destroyed by one of the fallen trees. But the road crew worked all night, getting dead trees out of our roads. Anybody hurt? No, nobody got hurt, but they were, I talked to them, they were so scared because when you had dark time, you're trying to clean out a tree off of the road. And all you could hear is other trees falling around, and you have no idea if they're going to fall here.

290
00:30:18,820 --> 00:30:22,440
There's a late night. So you are a road crew of big hands.

291
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:27,560
Thank you.

292
00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:36,220
Good morning Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board, Eric Fleming County Administrator. This morning it's my pleasure to introduce Tristan Shamp.

293
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:42,800
He is Madeira County's first grant services manager. He'll be working in conjunction with all of the

294
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,940
departmental people that go after grants. He'll be filling in gaps where we don't have

295
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:51,280
grant writers in. We'll be coming before you're bored in the very near future with some

296
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,480
grant opportunities. He comes to us with a great deal of experience from a private firm,

297
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,900
mainly writing grants for cities, counties, and schools, so I'm actually just a gentleman. Welcome.

298
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:01,740
Welcome.

299
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,460
Thank you.

300
00:31:04,460 --> 00:31:11,820
And I look forward to working with the Board of Supervisors and as well as the part of the head for the county and going after grant funding.

301
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:13,780
We're already after the start.

302
00:31:14,180 --> 00:31:19,720
I've got several applications in the works and I think you guys will be seeing me probably beginning to January.

303
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:24,340
I'm going to have several programs going forward at the end of that month.

304
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:24,840
Excellent.

305
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,900
We like people who bring money in.

306
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:32,800
Yeah, that's what's going to pay for you jobs, even if you did.

307
00:31:34,020 --> 00:31:35,260
Thank you so much.

308
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:35,960
Welcome, Kristen.

309
00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:37,280
Thank you.

310
00:31:41,450 --> 00:31:42,110
I appreciate it.

311
00:31:42,210 --> 00:31:44,670
Well, I figured I better not waste the opportunity.

312
00:31:44,830 --> 00:31:47,130
Tracy Kennedy, the Derrick County treasure tax collector.

313
00:31:47,310 --> 00:31:50,450
And if you love what he'll bring in, you're going to love what I have to say.

314
00:31:51,230 --> 00:31:53,450
Yesterday was a deadline for your property taxes.

315
00:31:53,610 --> 00:31:56,310
So if you didn't get a man, you're too late.

316
00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:58,950
at 10%.

317
00:32:00,550 --> 00:32:04,350
We collected 86 million up through yesterday.

318
00:32:04,610 --> 00:32:06,810
We're still posting, probably another 4 million.

319
00:32:06,990 --> 00:32:08,310
We'll be posted today.

320
00:32:09,370 --> 00:32:13,810
So in total about 90 million, we'll be collected first and second.

321
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:19,130
So 84% of the people have paid their first installments,

322
00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:22,830
and almost 20% of the people have already paid their second installment.

323
00:32:23,610 --> 00:32:25,890
So they're hoping for their tax deduction, I guess.

324
00:32:26,890 --> 00:32:34,090
In credit cards, we received 4.7 million, that is the highest ever, almost 2,000 transactions

325
00:32:34,090 --> 00:32:35,270
that paid in credit card.

326
00:32:35,530 --> 00:32:40,130
The beauty of credit card is that, once you paid by the credit card at post-sautomatically,

327
00:32:41,170 --> 00:32:45,290
there is a fee, there's a convenience fee, the county doesn't get any it at, that 2.35

328
00:32:45,290 --> 00:32:52,290
goes direct to the third party vendor, it doesn't come to the county, but it is there

329
00:32:52,290 --> 00:32:52,890
for a convenience.

330
00:32:52,890 --> 00:32:54,590
Now, each checks are free.

331
00:32:54,970 --> 00:32:57,830
We do absorb the 50 cents for the E-checks,

332
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:04,290
and we collect two million in E-checks free,

333
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:07,490
and 800 transactions.

334
00:33:08,550 --> 00:33:10,770
So we're still posting, posting away.

335
00:33:11,470 --> 00:33:13,270
And we have Fraser, Fraser, Fraser, Mail,

336
00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:16,050
but I want to all give you the breakdown next week

337
00:33:16,050 --> 00:33:17,410
credit cards walk in.

338
00:33:17,630 --> 00:33:20,650
Probably since we've been here in this building 10 years,

339
00:33:20,650 --> 00:33:25,070
We had the most walk-in traffic that I've seen in 10 years.

340
00:33:26,010 --> 00:33:26,070
Yeah.

341
00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:28,690
The credit card, how much was it five meters in?

342
00:33:28,690 --> 00:33:31,410
Almost, yeah, 4.7 million in credit cards.

343
00:33:35,330 --> 00:33:38,550
So, and most of it was Echex.

344
00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:40,630
Free Echex or free.

345
00:33:40,930 --> 00:33:44,090
I know it takes a little time to do it, but it's still worth it.

346
00:33:44,190 --> 00:33:44,510
It's free.

347
00:33:45,150 --> 00:33:46,090
And it posts immediately.

348
00:33:46,450 --> 00:33:47,550
That way, we don't have to.

349
00:33:48,530 --> 00:33:49,750
How much does it cost for Echex?

350
00:33:50,390 --> 00:33:51,350
Fifty cents.

351
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:56,670
But it, but it's just some pain with it. How much is it? We have zorbit. It's free.

352
00:33:57,050 --> 00:33:57,450
It's free.

353
00:33:58,630 --> 00:33:59,490
Did you get that?

354
00:33:59,570 --> 00:34:00,030
For each of you.

355
00:34:00,090 --> 00:34:00,610
Was it good?

356
00:34:00,890 --> 00:34:01,470
For each of you.

357
00:34:02,430 --> 00:34:04,510
Takes a little time, but it's worth it.

358
00:34:04,810 --> 00:34:06,850
Anyway, so about 90 million for this.

359
00:34:06,850 --> 00:34:07,830
What's for settle?

360
00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:12,370
Tracy, I just want to let you know that I meet up with all the people going up to your

361
00:34:12,370 --> 00:34:14,850
office to feed your taxes and they're all opposite.

362
00:34:17,290 --> 00:34:19,090
Oh, come on, you know what they say.

363
00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:24,350
There's only two things you can count on and I say aren't you glad I'm the other one.

364
00:34:25,950 --> 00:34:26,810
Thank you, President.

365
00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:37,610
You know, on the covers side of that, your people are great about receiving the money and they're very good with the public.

366
00:34:38,030 --> 00:34:40,970
I mean, I go out there and I feel good about paying my taxes.

367
00:34:41,810 --> 00:34:50,530
You know, this time we'll want to thank the committee that decorated our coaches for you and the people that did it was Veronica Ramirez.

368
00:34:52,630 --> 00:35:03,630
Kenia Ashavara, Tanya Kemp, Cherry Peters, Inoscio Magos, Jennifer Garcia, Linda, and Erika

369
00:35:03,630 --> 00:35:04,670
Figueroa.

370
00:35:05,550 --> 00:35:06,890
Thank you very much.

371
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,660
Mr. Chairman before we close the public comment.

372
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:22,120
I'd like to announce again that item 7D as in dog, it's special district maintenance district

373
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,360
Reportin was pulled from the agenda today for staff's request.

374
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,140
Okay.

375
00:35:34,110 --> 00:35:43,650
There was no public outreach that was done on it, so we're pointing right now to not go forward with it.

376
00:35:49,890 --> 00:36:00,050
Yeah, and that's why it's being pulled so that it did not move forward with it until we

377
00:36:00,050 --> 00:36:04,190
and talks to you about it so that you know exactly what's going on.

378
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:08,490
Your voice is, I've heard loud and clear.

379
00:36:15,850 --> 00:36:18,430
If you can, excuse me, sir, revise Mr. Sherman.

380
00:36:19,050 --> 00:36:22,330
First of all, thank you for the committee of represent for showing up.

381
00:36:22,910 --> 00:36:24,770
And I apologize for the confusion.

382
00:36:26,010 --> 00:36:32,390
We do have new information about a grant that we need to secure for this water system.

383
00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:43,790
And I would like to start community outreach, and meeting with all of you, if available, very shortly, to discuss the next step forward regarding water and source system.

384
00:36:44,790 --> 00:36:52,470
So this is where here to say that there is more we need to do, and there is more information that we just got from this thing.

385
00:36:53,510 --> 00:37:00,070
And at the same time, you are the same. No, no change in your rate. The only way we can do it changes is via Prop 2 8.

386
00:37:00,510 --> 00:37:05,930
Great. And we're taking that off of the table right now, so your rates will not increase.

387
00:37:06,670 --> 00:37:08,790
So it's still fairly long. Until we meet.

388
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:20,650
If you can give some of your contact information, I'd like to set up a meeting with myself and your community.

389
00:37:22,290 --> 00:37:24,570
within the next week or so.

390
00:37:24,990 --> 00:37:27,070
Thank you, that is, that is key supervisor.

391
00:37:27,490 --> 00:37:30,430
We really need all your contact information if we can.

392
00:37:30,870 --> 00:37:33,570
And we coordinate with Melissa and also Mohamed

393
00:37:33,570 --> 00:37:34,950
is our specialistic manager.

394
00:37:35,650 --> 00:37:37,890
We'll make sure that we'll do this proper.

395
00:37:38,350 --> 00:37:38,990
Thank you.

396
00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:42,350
Your voices were heard loudly.

397
00:38:15,260 --> 00:38:20,260
I am number five, county administration department, human resources, operations division,

398
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,420
presentation of service credit awards to employees who have retained 20 or more years

399
00:38:25,420 --> 00:38:26,500
of county service.

400
00:38:29,710 --> 00:38:33,310
Good morning, Chairman members of the Board, Adrian and Caleb reporting this morning

401
00:38:33,310 --> 00:38:39,530
on behalf of human resources. Each December, the Board of Supervisors gives special recognition

402
00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:44,110
to employees who have reached milestones of 20 or more years of public service.

403
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:47,410
In addition to today's public recognition by the Board,

404
00:38:47,690 --> 00:38:51,650
Department Head will be provided with certificates to provide to their employees

405
00:38:51,650 --> 00:38:55,390
who have attained 10 and 15 years of service.

406
00:38:56,170 --> 00:39:00,730
This year, Department Head will be recognizing 154 additional employees,

407
00:39:01,210 --> 00:39:05,390
46 with five years of service, 85 with 10 years of service,

408
00:39:05,790 --> 00:39:08,710
and 23 with 15 years of service.

409
00:39:08,710 --> 00:39:16,590
This morning, you'll be recognizing 19 employees who celebrate 20, 25 or 30 years of employment with Medare County.

410
00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:27,870
Our office is very proud to have played a role in this presentation, and I want to share with the employees as well as with any of their family members who may be here.

411
00:39:28,610 --> 00:39:37,790
After the last presentation, they're welcome to go to the back. We will have cake and cupcakes and things and refreshments for you all to enjoy.

412
00:39:37,790 --> 00:39:46,670
I want to also share that the board meeting will continue to move forward during that time so please feel free to join us in the back.

413
00:39:47,110 --> 00:40:00,710
At this point in time I'm going to ask Kim Brooks, who actually is the newly appointed analyst in my office to make all of the presentations and call the names and invite people up.

414
00:40:00,710 --> 00:40:02,950
So Kim, can you please come up?

415
00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:10,880
Good morning.

416
00:40:11,820 --> 00:40:13,620
Kim Brooks from Department of Human Resources.

417
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,840
First off, we would like to recognize employees for 30 years of service.

418
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,140
I'm going to start off with an employee that is unable to attend today.

419
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:28,140
And we would like to recognize from the Department of Corrections, Mark Clark,

420
00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:30,340
Correctional Officer, too.

421
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,160
Next, we would like to recognize for 30 years of service from the Department of Behavioral

422
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:43,160
services, Melissa Nelson. She's unable to attend, but Dennis Cook, director of behavioral

423
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,420
health, to say a few words, and we see her work.

424
00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:51,910
The morning, Dennis Cook Department of Behavior Health. Yeah, Melissa can't be here this morning.

425
00:40:52,050 --> 00:40:56,410
We're hoping even this morning that she was feeling better when they were able to be here, but

426
00:40:56,410 --> 00:41:01,950
she can't. And Melissa, to me, her, she is such a pleasant and delightful person. I go

427
00:41:01,950 --> 00:41:07,090
actually known for a few months when I was at public health for a little bit, I met her

428
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:11,310
over there and that was in between it. She was transferring to behavioral health. So it was

429
00:41:11,310 --> 00:41:17,690
kind of odd. I was sad for her to leave there and what a gap to fill and not when I was over

430
00:41:17,690 --> 00:41:22,150
there but when I was back at behavioral health I was very happy to see such a good employee coming

431
00:41:22,150 --> 00:41:26,990
and I didn't realize how long she worked here. But a little bit about Melissa, she gave me some

432
00:41:26,990 --> 00:41:31,810
information I wanted to read it. Melissa is a lifelong resident of

433
00:41:31,810 --> 00:41:34,830
Madera County. In fact, she was even born at the Health Department

434
00:41:34,830 --> 00:41:38,310
building, where then it was in Madera County, General Hospital.

435
00:41:39,370 --> 00:41:47,730
She started her career here at Madera County, 30 at age 19 on December 21,

436
00:41:50,110 --> 00:41:50,110
1987.

437
00:41:50,610 --> 00:41:54,830
So, in a week, it would be exactly 30 years. And if you were to see her,

438
00:41:54,830 --> 00:41:57,110
you would have thought she started at age five.

439
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:05,110
In her 30-year career, Melissa has held various positions in different departments in the county.

440
00:42:05,650 --> 00:42:11,070
She started at the Department of Social Services in 1987 and continued to advance her career

441
00:42:11,070 --> 00:42:11,990
over the years.

442
00:42:12,590 --> 00:42:18,050
She has had many years of service and desire for professional growth allowed her to gain

443
00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:23,470
experience in the departments of correction, probation departments, sheriff's office, district

444
00:42:23,470 --> 00:42:28,210
attorney, health department, and now behavior health where she's an administrative analyst

445
00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:28,770
too.

446
00:42:29,350 --> 00:42:34,030
I just want to thank you on behalf of Melissa and really glad that she is now in our department.

447
00:42:34,550 --> 00:42:34,910
Thank you, sir.

448
00:42:51,460 --> 00:42:57,140
Next, we would like to recognize for 30 years of service from the Tax Collector's Office,

449
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,940
Tracy Kennedy Desmond, Tax Collector Treasure.

450
00:43:00,540 --> 00:43:06,140
Her award will be presented, presented by Rebecca Martinez, the county clerk recorder.

451
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,520
She's coming, she's coming, she's coming.

452
00:43:19,510 --> 00:43:20,810
It's crazy you're here.

453
00:43:23,490 --> 00:43:23,650
Sorry.

454
00:43:25,350 --> 00:43:26,450
39 and a half years.

455
00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:29,290
Good morning.

456
00:43:29,610 --> 00:43:33,130
Rebecca Martinez, quick recorder, registered our vetters.

457
00:43:33,670 --> 00:43:39,270
Tracy asked me to present to her her 30-year plaque, and I asked her for her bio.

458
00:43:45,110 --> 00:43:48,750
I promise that I've cut it down.

459
00:43:53,570 --> 00:43:59,370
She asked me to make the presentation today, and I frankly think that the other reason

460
00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:04,130
she did that is because I'm the only one that's been here long enough to remember 30 years

461
00:44:04,130 --> 00:44:04,630
ago.

462
00:44:06,420 --> 00:44:12,600
So, a little bit about Tracy, prior to working for the county, which was in the Tax

463
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,040
Collector's Office, she worked for the City of Medira and the Finance Department for

464
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,420
approximately eight years.

465
00:44:19,180 --> 00:44:24,240
She has a degree in accounting, as well as a Certificate in Public Treasury Management from

466
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:27,640
the University of Southern California School of Public Administration.

467
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:34,900
And because I placed my hand in seal to her Certificate of Election, I can attest to the fact

468
00:44:34,900 --> 00:44:37,340
that she was elected for the first time in 1990.

469
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,840
And assumed office in 1991 as the Traeger Tax Collector.

470
00:44:44,140 --> 00:44:45,860
Not long after Traeger was elected,

471
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,880
we became fast friends and confidence to the point

472
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,420
where to this day, we are always mistaken for one another.

473
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,000
I get shocked when people have paid their taxes

474
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,060
and asked me if I'm happy about that.

475
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,980
And she gets questions like, where's my money?

476
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,960
My ballot, and I guess it must be our long-long hair that makes it look a lie about her.

477
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:14,920
Tracy is one of the two longest serving female county-wide elected officials and in her seventh term.

478
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:25,980
Most people don't grow up wanting to be elected or to be an elected official. There's not many things that are gratitude that come with that job.

479
00:45:25,980 --> 00:45:34,660
And Tracy has had her shared adversity, but she persevered and continues to be a loyal, dedicated public servant.

480
00:45:35,540 --> 00:45:41,160
It is truly a personal pleasure and a professional privilege to present to you in your 30 year plot.

481
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,200
Well, they haven't the right name on there.

482
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:55,300
Do you want to?

483
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:58,960
Hold ease.

484
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,640
There's another sign to it.

485
00:46:01,220 --> 00:46:04,960
Are you all paying?

486
00:46:12,470 --> 00:46:13,010
Yeah.

487
00:46:14,070 --> 00:46:14,810
How long is your hair minted?

488
00:46:15,030 --> 00:46:15,650
Since Wednesday.

489
00:46:15,950 --> 00:46:16,670
Oh, okay.

490
00:46:20,170 --> 00:46:25,070
Thirty years, I think the math is wrong, but I can't believe it's thirty years at the

491
00:46:25,070 --> 00:46:27,450
end you know on Facebook I just turned 17.

492
00:46:29,330 --> 00:46:30,530
So, you've read everyone kindergarten.

493
00:46:30,810 --> 00:46:31,470
I know!

494
00:46:32,330 --> 00:46:42,450
And really my anniversary date is April Fool's Day oddly enough, and so I've been here 30 and a half or so years.

495
00:46:42,710 --> 00:46:43,830
Anyway, thank you to Becky.

496
00:46:44,290 --> 00:46:44,890
Thank you very much.

497
00:46:45,150 --> 00:46:45,850
That's very sweet.

498
00:46:46,130 --> 00:46:54,210
And to this board and all the boards that have been before you, that put up with, I mean that we're here in city,

499
00:46:54,210 --> 00:47:00,270
at the Dallas and for my seven terms, like I said 30 years long time, not as long as Becky,

500
00:47:00,570 --> 00:47:07,630
so I have something to aspire to. One thing I know for sure is we have plenty of work

501
00:47:07,630 --> 00:47:12,710
in our office. We have a lot of work that has lasted the last 30 years and that will

502
00:47:12,710 --> 00:47:17,950
last for the next 30 years and on into perpetuity. You know, one thing about it, it won't

503
00:47:17,950 --> 00:47:24,850
away we will still be collecting taxes, hopefully not me in 30 more years, but somebody will

504
00:47:24,850 --> 00:47:32,630
be even if it's on your telephone or by credit card. I have met some really great people

505
00:47:32,630 --> 00:47:40,370
along this journey and I have made some amazing friends and kept some other friends that I always

506
00:47:40,370 --> 00:47:47,630
had, so for that I'm very grateful to the county for this long career. In the audience I need

507
00:47:49,150 --> 00:47:54,850
I think that I thought I had some staff here but you know of course I'm not anything without good staff.

508
00:47:56,030 --> 00:48:01,270
Again the ones that were there when I started in 1987 and the ones that are there today.

509
00:48:01,970 --> 00:48:06,770
So we have only one more full-time equivalent person than I had when we started.

510
00:48:07,110 --> 00:48:15,390
When I started and I, so we've really held the numbers don't cry, Rhonda, it'll be fine, it'll be fine, really.

511
00:48:17,910 --> 00:48:22,270
in the audience I want to introduce my husband,

512
00:48:22,470 --> 00:48:25,230
bravest man in the world, John Smith is here,

513
00:48:25,230 --> 00:48:27,330
bravest, bravest, bravest.

514
00:48:30,170 --> 00:48:35,810
And my dad, Patrick Kennedy,

515
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:39,430
who's been there for me through thick and thin.

516
00:48:41,570 --> 00:48:47,270
I had to say, when I was first going to run for office, I asked him, you know, it was kind

517
00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:51,830
of a family meeting and I said, so do you think I should or do you think I shouldn't?

518
00:48:52,170 --> 00:48:56,490
And he said, yeah, you should, and we'll find out if we have any skeletons in our closet.

519
00:48:59,310 --> 00:49:03,370
Anyway, thank you, board, and thank you everyone, that was here, and thank you back

520
00:49:03,370 --> 00:49:03,570
you.

521
00:49:03,950 --> 00:49:05,190
Thank you.

522
00:49:08,740 --> 00:49:15,800
Tracy, when I got to vote in my very first election, it was my honor to vote for your third term.

523
00:49:26,030 --> 00:49:26,550
Okay,

524
00:49:30,900 --> 00:49:35,000
next, we would like to recognize those employees with 25 years of service.

525
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,960
I'm going to start off by the employees that unfortunately are not able to attend today.

526
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:46,720
And first off is from the Department of Corrections, Fred Masiel, he's a correctional sergeant,

527
00:49:47,140 --> 00:49:52,940
and next from the Health Department, Alicia Melinda, she's a Public Health Education Assistant.

528
00:49:54,360 --> 00:50:01,900
And moving on, we would like to recognize 25 years of service from the Information Technology Department,

529
00:50:01,900 --> 00:50:09,800
Tonya Sae, Chief Information Officer, and her award will be presented by Eric Flimming, the CAO.

530
00:50:12,300 --> 00:50:13,720
Thank you.

531
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:19,040
Tonya, Tonya started with the county in September of 1992.

532
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:25,680
After working in her way up the ranks, she became the child support services director in November of 2002.

533
00:50:26,900 --> 00:50:32,080
She was one of the first department heads that I worked with when I came to the county in 2005.

534
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,240
She was a pleasure to work with and we quickly developed an excellent working relationship.

535
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,420
During her time as the Child Support Services Director, the county went from a ranking of

536
00:50:41,940 --> 00:50:44,460
44th in the state to a ranking of 19th in the state.

537
00:50:45,240 --> 00:50:50,160
In 2014 her department received an award for increasing collections by the highest percentage

538
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,740
for all small counties in the state of California.

539
00:50:54,020 --> 00:50:58,380
She also led her department through three office-wide conversions to new systems mandated

540
00:50:58,380 --> 00:50:59,600
by the federal government.

541
00:51:00,540 --> 00:51:06,980
When the county needed a new department head in our IT department, your board had an interest in looking at internal candidates.

542
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:14,480
Tony was a logical choice since she had managed child support services very well over the years and was respected by the county's management team.

543
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:23,700
She was hired as our chief information officer over IT in February of 2016 and in my opinion has made a very successful transition.

544
00:51:24,580 --> 00:51:29,540
This year, her IT team is working on over 40 projects, including the county's new website,

545
00:51:29,860 --> 00:51:36,120
which should go live in early 2018, new audio equipment for the board chambers in early 2018,

546
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,500
and the new one's solution financial system implementation in 2018 as well.

547
00:51:41,780 --> 00:51:44,260
And I believe that the best is still to come.

548
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,800
So, Tony, thank you for your dedication and your career to be there, county.

549
00:51:54,380 --> 00:52:00,380
And I just want to thank your board for all your support of the department and of me throughout

550
00:52:00,380 --> 00:52:00,800
the years.

551
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:05,380
It's been my pleasure to serve a Derek County, the constituents of my Derek County and serve

552
00:52:05,380 --> 00:52:07,400
your board and the board to be for you.

553
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:14,900
I'd also like to thank Bruce Lormer, my deputy CIO because without him we would not be

554
00:52:14,900 --> 00:52:16,360
making it very far at all.

555
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,620
And I'd also, I would back at Child Support,

556
00:52:18,860 --> 00:52:20,500
like to thank Sarah Honeycutt.

557
00:52:20,620 --> 00:52:23,040
She's now the Director of Child Support Services,

558
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,780
as well as the last Director of Child Support Services

559
00:52:26,780 --> 00:52:28,420
at Fiki West, because without them,

560
00:52:28,660 --> 00:52:29,720
I would not be here today.

561
00:52:30,060 --> 00:52:31,240
So thank you very, very much.

562
00:52:31,540 --> 00:52:32,100
Thank you.

563
00:52:40,350 --> 00:52:42,450
Also, for 25 years of service,

564
00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:45,490
we would like to recognize from the Probation Department,

565
00:52:45,710 --> 00:52:48,950
Naomi Salvador Wyatt, Deputy Probation Officer

566
00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:49,670
Supervisor.

567
00:52:50,250 --> 00:52:53,250
Her award will be presented by Chris Chilters,

568
00:52:53,250 --> 00:52:55,730
Deputy Chief for Probation Officer.

569
00:53:05,100 --> 00:53:07,660
Good morning, Chris Chilers, Probation Department.

570
00:53:08,660 --> 00:53:17,740
I'm here today to present Naomi Wyatt her 25-year years of service, and I want to say that Naomi

571
00:53:17,740 --> 00:53:20,800
came to us originally before she went to Probation.

572
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:25,660
I wasn't even there when she came there, but I heard that she came from victim services

573
00:53:25,660 --> 00:53:27,680
before that she was the social worker.

574
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:34,020
So she's got a lot of years in the business, unfortunately the 25 years over the last 25 years

575
00:53:34,020 --> 00:53:35,600
she's been at with that probation.

576
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:42,200
So in looking at a back on a anniversary, it's a good occasion to really look back and reflect

577
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,420
on all the accomplishments that one person has done.

578
00:53:46,140 --> 00:53:52,120
Naomi, I can tell you that you can really look back in a lot of satisfaction and say that

579
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:53,360
you've accomplished a lot.

580
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,680
We're going to give you a good example.

581
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,660
The Board of Supervisors likes to save money.

582
00:53:58,220 --> 00:54:01,720
20 years ago, Naomi Wyatt applied for a grant.

583
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,260
It was called the Young Minnesota's.

584
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:05,820
That grant was ultimately awarded

585
00:54:05,820 --> 00:54:09,720
and the Probation Department received quite a bit of money.

586
00:54:10,140 --> 00:54:11,880
And over the course of the last 20 years,

587
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,620
we've been writing the tell of that application

588
00:54:14,620 --> 00:54:17,440
that Naomi Wyatt wrote the grant

589
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,120
that over the course of the last 20 years

590
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,720
has probably provided about 2 million

591
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:27,960
maybe a little bit more over the last 20 years, we're still using that money today every

592
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:34,200
year we reapply for it, but she paved the way so that I really want to say that was probably

593
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:41,140
one of those shiny moments in Naomi's career, we really appreciate it. I want to say you've

594
00:54:41,140 --> 00:54:45,220
always been one of the best colleagues of mine and I know for the others that work with you,

595
00:54:45,220 --> 00:54:50,760
they would say the same thing. This one of which you've happy 25 years and just to let you know

596
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:57,340
little secret Naomi is going to be retiring soon so this is kind of in a per career and

597
00:54:57,340 --> 00:55:02,640
she won't be up here again for 30 unfortunately but we really want to thank her for being

598
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:08,280
a part of the team and probation and it wouldn't have been possible to all of our success

599
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,620
of the chief that we have without her be in it so I want to say thank you very much.

600
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,100
First of all, I want to thank you all.

601
00:55:29,580 --> 00:55:37,540
I feel so thankful and grateful to have spent the last almost 26 years of probation.

602
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,940
How often does the person give to you?

603
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,420
To not only work for the department like probation,

604
00:55:46,380 --> 00:55:53,760
but to actually be able to accomplish the things that were set for them.

605
00:55:53,760 --> 00:56:02,560
I felt like I've been able to do my colleagues, I've always loved working with kids.

606
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:13,960
And I feel like I've had to give an opportunity to give something to my community.

607
00:56:14,340 --> 00:56:15,920
This is my home town.

608
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:30,880
I was Majaea and I was serving the people of Majaea and I felt like I got an opportunity to serve the youth of its community and how often do you get to work with some really wonderful people.

609
00:56:32,020 --> 00:56:37,380
my own supervisor here and I want to thank him. I want to stand up, have a say, can

610
00:56:37,380 --> 00:56:37,800
to him.

611
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:47,400
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. He's a wonderful person and definitely

612
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,120
still cool.

613
00:56:51,670 --> 00:56:57,450
But one of my first two providers and any time I would do a grant work, she

614
00:56:57,450 --> 00:57:02,630
always encouraging me, and I really appreciate that,

615
00:57:05,450 --> 00:57:07,030
and I'll call.

616
00:57:12,700 --> 00:57:14,640
He was always there for me,

617
00:57:14,740 --> 00:57:22,520
when he was my supervisor, always encouraging me, giving me credit for what he believes.

618
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:32,300
I have done and done, and then lastly, but not least, I have told him he's

619
00:57:35,220 --> 00:57:55,260
been my supervisor for almost three years, and I really appreciate that he lets me work outside the box, and I will never forget the last almost 26 years.

620
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:57,200
Thank you.

621
00:58:08,410 --> 00:58:13,370
Also for 25 years from the Sheriff's Department, we would like to recognize Susan

622
00:58:13,370 --> 00:58:13,990
No.

623
00:58:14,610 --> 00:58:19,550
Sheriff's Business Manager and her award will be presented by Sheriff J. Barney.

624
00:58:28,990 --> 00:58:31,370
She's going to take the long way to get down here.

625
00:58:33,850 --> 00:58:34,390
We're

626
00:58:43,900 --> 00:58:46,180
going to give you most of the speaking time anyway.

627
00:58:46,380 --> 00:58:49,540
So Susan's a native Moder and she's worked for the county.

628
00:58:49,540 --> 00:58:52,100
Obviously for 25 years she's worked for three different departments.

629
00:58:52,100 --> 00:58:57,800
your word for an extended period, county council, and then for kind of did like a quick

630
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,000
stint over a public health for a few years. It has been with the Sheriff's Office for about

631
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,760
nine years now. As mentioned by your job title, she's the Sheriff's Business Office Manager,

632
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,720
which encompasses a whole lot of stuff you can't even believe some of these grants they

633
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:15,920
have to deal with. And we've also moved payroll historically has always been done by my

634
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:21,180
admin assistant and we moved Regina who's here as one of the employees to honor Susan today,

635
00:59:21,180 --> 00:59:24,420
into the business office because it just made a whole lot more sense that if the person that was

636
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:30,240
figuring out how much money we had worked with the person who was doing the payroll. So

637
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:36,320
Susan's a great mentor probably why Julia and Regina both here today to honor her and Susan also has

638
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:44,260
her mom and dad here and I will turn the mic over to you. I just like to thank you for the opportunity

639
00:59:44,260 --> 00:59:50,740
of the Emperor which sort from a dairy county for the last 25 years. It's been a great ride coming to work

640
00:59:51,180 --> 00:59:59,980
I enjoy my job. I enjoy working for the great man. It makes it easy when your department cares about the counting that you work in.

641
01:00:01,700 --> 01:00:23,600
Thank you to the Board for having me. I just hope to keep you around for a few more years. And if I also would like to thank my parents, Mario and Jeanette, for giving me the work ethic that they taught me as a young, and are still teaching me, actually, every day. But thank you, Mom and Dad, I love you. And thank you for supporting me every step of the way. And thank you, Sheriff.

642
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:43,900

Good morning, board members.

684
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,540
I'm Debbie Dinnado, division manager with Medare County Behavioral Health Services.

685
01:04:00,100 --> 01:04:03,140
Thank you so far away. Come up here.

686
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,860
Okay, I'm going to read what Beth wrote about her employment since she's been here with

687
01:04:09,860 --> 01:04:13,320
Madera County, 20 years, pretty amazing.

688
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:22,060
She was hired on 121997 as a program assistant for the Madera County Mental Health Department,

689
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:27,000
which later changed its name to the Madera County Behavioral Health Department.

690
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:34,980
She started in the Children's Services, Children's System of Care Program, located in one

691
01:04:34,980 --> 01:04:40,660
half of the Health Department building. During her years there, she learned and grew so

692
01:04:40,660 --> 01:04:47,060
much. Some areas she worked in was with the Access Case Management Team and saw how mental

693
01:04:47,060 --> 01:04:54,300
health services were provided at court day school, boot camp, group homes, foster care, school

694
01:04:54,300 --> 01:05:00,820
districts and more. Several years later, she moved to the Lake Street Center and joined the

695
01:05:00,820 --> 01:05:06,820
foster care program working closely with the Department of Social Services. This was a whole

696
01:05:06,820 --> 01:05:14,160
new world of learning for her. Her next opportunity in challenge was moving over to the main clinic

697
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:21,700
on Ben Road 28 at the Medare Counseling Center. This was where she was trained in medical records

698
01:05:21,700 --> 01:05:24,740
and began working closely with our psychiatrists.

699
01:05:25,460 --> 01:05:27,840
The world of privacy and mental health and alcohol

700
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,580
and drug programs was amazing to her.

701
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,160
And she learned that she loved medical records right away.

702
01:05:34,740 --> 01:05:38,980
In 2012, our department moved to our current location

703
01:05:38,980 --> 01:05:42,360
at 7th Street, and she has continued to grow

704
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,420
in all aspects of our department.

705
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,040
She's proud to have been part of the behavioral health

706
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:50,980
department for 20 years, and she was recently promoted

707
01:05:50,980 --> 01:05:54,180
to seeing your program assistant in medical records.

708
01:05:54,820 --> 01:05:59,680
And I just want to say personally, I get the joy of supervising her, I've had the joy

709
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,940
of supervising her, she's an amazing employee.

710
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,160
You ask her to do something, it's done immediately.

711
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:12,020
Her work is extremely professional, and I'm just really proud that she's one of my employees,

712
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:17,080
so thank you for your time and for your service and congratulations.

713
01:06:28,150 --> 01:06:34,170
I don't even know what to say to the start except that I have been very happy working for

714
01:06:34,170 --> 01:06:38,070
Medare County, specifically the behavioral health department.

715
01:06:39,850 --> 01:06:48,210
But when I started, I knew nothing and I'm very grateful to have worked with the people that

716
01:06:48,210 --> 01:06:50,790
have given me the opportunity to learn as much as I learned.

717
01:06:51,450 --> 01:06:54,250
So thank you all so much, and I really appreciate this.

718
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:10,600
Next for 20 years of service from General Services Building Maintenance

719
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:16,060
is Bryant Torres, Senior Building Crafts and Maintenance Worker,

720
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,980
and his award will be presented by Raymond Werther,

721
01:07:21,620 --> 01:07:23,580
Building Crafts and Maintenance Worker, Supervisor.

722
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,680
Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

723
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:38,480
you know that right now. My name is Raymond Wetta, Billion Maintenance Supervisor with

724
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:45,160
Medare County. Right here we have Brian Torres. He was hired 20 years ago and I'll give you

725
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,900
a little back grab about him. He's a lifelong resident served in the military in the Marines.

726
01:07:50,440 --> 01:08:03,660
He has a wife, two daughters, have it outdoors and he likes to camp, fish, good man. For a

727
01:08:03,660 --> 01:08:09,080
out of the jails, a building maintenance worker one has worked his way up to the senior lead work

728
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:14,540
position out there, and it takes a special person to work out at the jail. It really does,

729
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,040
because Brian has been out there for 20 years and he keeps running and maintaining that facility,

730
01:08:20,820 --> 01:08:25,060
you know, it just keeps rolling. I don't have to worry about that facility because I have him out there

731
01:08:25,060 --> 01:08:32,680
and he takes care of all the emergencies. If he's surprised how many times you get called out in the

732
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,840
They're just a great staff out there to have them out there.

733
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,480
And so I'm privileged to have him work for me.

734
01:08:39,780 --> 01:08:42,880
He's not just a worker, he's part of our family.

735
01:08:43,060 --> 01:08:44,580
The people that I have working in our department,

736
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:46,660
they're a great bunch of guys.

737
01:08:47,260 --> 01:08:48,540
And he's one of them, right?

738
01:08:48,740 --> 01:08:49,020
Of course.

739
01:08:52,580 --> 01:08:54,400
And he said he wasn't any good at that.

740
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:55,720
Yeah, I know.

741
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:56,940
I thought I was a great introduction.

742
01:08:57,700 --> 01:08:58,400
Thank you very much.

743
01:08:58,500 --> 01:08:59,840
Thank you for your service to our country.

744
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:00,940
Thank you, sir.

745
01:09:01,780 --> 01:09:02,520
20 years.

746
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,160
I hope to serve you all another 10.

747
01:09:15,090 --> 01:09:20,590
Also for 20 years of service, we would like to recognize from Juvenile Hall, Martin Garcia

748
01:09:20,590 --> 01:09:28,210
Jr., Juvenile Detention Officer II, his award will be presented by Paul De Orient, Deputy Chief

749
01:09:28,210 --> 01:09:29,190
Probation Officer.

750
01:09:29,190 --> 01:09:29,190
Good

751
01:09:40,740 --> 01:09:43,840
morning everybody. It's been a while. Oh, you all do

752
01:09:46,440 --> 01:09:51,040
Myself I remember not real good at this stuff. I didn't prepare our speed, but I hope I'll do you Raymond. I did

753
01:09:52,540 --> 01:09:53,020
But

754
01:09:54,220 --> 01:09:57,920
Martin Garcia, you know start in 1997. I think September

755
01:09:59,860 --> 01:10:00,800
Solve employee

756
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:07,200
Reliable well-liked by everybody and that's hard to say because our clients are

757
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:09,140
Not the best

758
01:10:10,740 --> 01:10:17,160
Not the best kids in our community and but Martin has a special touch with him and

759
01:10:18,580 --> 01:10:21,420
Good thing about Martin is is he's our longest term

760
01:10:21,420 --> 01:10:26,580
Line staff employee. He's David one. So that's that's our number one longest term

761
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:28,600
Line staff employee

762
01:10:29,440 --> 01:10:30,480
so he

763
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,620
That's a lot of history and

764
01:10:33,620 --> 01:10:37,300
Those were all the skeletons are buried out there in the backyard

765
01:10:38,300 --> 01:10:46,500
So I go to him quite a bit when I want to know where and when and why that happened or how it came about.

766
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:55,420
I do want to tell a quick story before I turn over Martin, just to kind of paint a picture of how he works.

767
01:10:56,260 --> 01:11:02,220
So doing a hall story, regular morning, Friday morning about a month ago, the emergency call comes over to radio.

768
01:11:02,220 --> 01:11:04,440
You know, we all go running out of the housing unit.

769
01:11:05,020 --> 01:11:07,600
I'm up in the admins, so I'm using the last one in the housing unit.

770
01:11:08,700 --> 01:11:12,020
But that one was a little different, because you could tell by the call from the off-service,

771
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:13,640
it was a little more stressful.

772
01:11:14,740 --> 01:11:20,780
So I get in there and they got a kid out there and they're taking this sheet or sweatshirt

773
01:11:20,780 --> 01:11:23,560
or something wrapped around the kids and that kid could get a suicide account.

774
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:29,900
So first guy I see on seeing is Martin helping the kid and it's always good when you got an

775
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:38,160
like that experience telling the kid hey it's gonna be okay we're here to take care of you let us help you so

776
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:42,080
I feel really good that morning when I got in there and I saw Martin helping that kid

777
01:11:42,580 --> 01:11:48,520
that really describes what we do out there and type a person in Martin's officer of Martin Garcia

778
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:59,880
So congratulations thank you for taking care of those kids out there and making a safe and keep us out of those

779
01:12:05,290 --> 01:12:10,690
very good at speeches but I just want to say thank you to the Board of Supervisors 20 years

780
01:12:10,690 --> 01:12:11,850
go by pretty quick.

781
01:12:13,990 --> 01:12:17,370
I just want to say thank you to my wife she works for the same

782
01:12:17,370 --> 01:12:24,910
department for all the support you know working weekends all the days and this business you

783
01:12:26,230 --> 01:12:34,630
know it's like the DC said it's a service that goes you know you don't get too much of a pat in

784
01:12:34,630 --> 01:12:39,810
back for all the weekends and the nights and the holidays that you go into work.

785
01:12:40,950 --> 01:12:47,230
So it's very difficult, it's very difficult 20 years, but thank you to my life for the support.

786
01:12:48,170 --> 01:12:55,350
And I would like to thank my father, as well, Martin Garcia, I would like to dedicate this to him.

787
01:12:58,370 --> 01:13:04,790
I would like to dedicate this to him because he showed me what it is for hard work and just

788
01:13:04,790 --> 01:13:09,670
I'm loving where you work in the support of, you know, everything he's been through.

789
01:13:10,310 --> 01:13:11,250
So, thanks, Dad.

790
01:13:12,010 --> 01:13:12,530
Thanks, Dad.

791
01:13:12,550 --> 01:13:13,470
Great man.

792
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,280
Now turn to the right.

793
01:13:31,900 --> 01:13:34,300
Thank you. Thank you.

794
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:43,780
Also, for 20 years of service, we like to recognize two employees from the health department.

795
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:48,980
First off, I'll call Laura Vera, Senior Nutrition Assistant.

796
01:13:49,500 --> 01:13:53,040
Her award will be presented by Sarah Boss, the Public Health Director.

797
01:13:59,940 --> 01:14:00,600
Hello, again.

798
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:02,820
Sarah Boss, Public Health Director.

799
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:10,740
Last week, we celebrated these employment milestones with our staff and the health department.

800
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,320
And it had a feeling in the room, much like this morning, my daughter says it's toasty

801
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:16,020
warm thoughts.

802
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:20,720
But what a lovely morning to celebrate as we see people achieve these milestones.

803
01:14:21,940 --> 01:14:27,640
It's my honor to represent the health department and talk about Laura and her service to

804
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,960
look held over the last 20 years.

805
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:35,060
She started with Medare County in 1997 as a nutrition assistant for the health department

806
01:14:35,060 --> 01:14:37,780
with a women, infants, and children program.

807
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:44,180
She was promoted to nutrition assistant 2 and 2005, and due to her high level of bilingual

808
01:14:44,180 --> 01:14:49,340
wick nutrition counseling skills, her unique understanding of state wick policy, which

809
01:14:49,340 --> 01:14:54,280
is very complicated, and her excellent work ethic, Laura, was promoted to senior nutrition

810
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:59,960
system in 2008, 2007. On behalf of the Health Department, we're very proud of you.

811
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,620
1 and 1, 2. Thank you for your dedication to the health of families and children. And it is my honor to present you with this welcome serve.

812
01:15:13,450 --> 01:15:20,650
Well, I didn't have a speech prepared. But I want to thank everybody for taking the time to honor us today.

813
01:15:20,650 --> 01:15:26,730
And it's been 20 years and they have passed in a blink of an eye.

814
01:15:27,110 --> 01:15:30,570
I feel can believe that it just seemed like it was yesterday when I started.

815
01:15:31,530 --> 01:15:38,910
So thank you for the time and I also want to thank my son and my daughter for taking the time to be with me here today.

816
01:15:39,270 --> 01:15:39,610
Thank you.

817
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:49,940
For 20 years of service, also from the Health Department.

818
01:15:49,940 --> 01:15:56,400
Diana Trinvino Turner, Public Health Education Assistant, and her award will also be presented

819
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,140
by Sarah Boss, the Public Health Director.

820
01:16:09,470 --> 01:16:15,190
Diana started also in 1997, 20 years of service as an offices assistant with the Public Health

821
01:16:15,190 --> 01:16:19,470
Department, and after three years she was promoted to a Public Health Education Assistant.

822
01:16:20,090 --> 01:16:24,770
For the past 17 years she's been working as a case manager with our maternal child and adolescent

823
01:16:24,770 --> 01:16:30,870
health program. Diana is culturally sensitive, she's thoughtful, and appropriately applies

824
01:16:30,870 --> 01:16:35,570
her knowledge and skills to support families in the first parent's program. And I'll be

825
01:16:35,570 --> 01:16:39,270
happy to have a public health. It's my honor to present you with this recognition. We appreciate

826
01:16:39,270 --> 01:16:42,630
your service to children and families in the dark.

827
01:16:47,460 --> 01:16:49,480
I'd also like to thank you for joining

828
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:54,080
here today to go by quickly working with the community to be challenging sometimes, but there

829
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:58,480
really is a need for home visitation and I really enjoy working with all my families.

830
01:16:58,820 --> 01:16:59,600
Thank you.

831
01:17:08,080 --> 01:17:15,740
Also for 20 years of service from the Library Department I would like to call Jonathan King Library Assistant.

832
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:20,940
His award will be presented by Patrick Fitzgerald, the County Library.

833
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:29,320
Good morning.

834
01:17:30,420 --> 01:17:35,140
Jonathan King has been a permanent employee with this department since 1997,

835
01:17:35,140 --> 01:17:42,140
but he actually started here at the extra health worker in late 1980s.

836
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:48,220
He's actually all total service has been a good one while.

837
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:54,080
Over 32 or around 32 years, he's outlasted many county librarians.

838
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,000
I'm sure he's going to outlast me too.

839
01:17:58,140 --> 01:18:03,400
John is a thought he's just absolutely reliable in every way.

840
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,140
We always know that he's as good as his word.

841
01:18:06,340 --> 01:18:10,040
What he does, what he says he's going to do, if he says he's going to be there, he's going

842
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:10,580
to be there.

843
01:18:11,480 --> 01:18:16,260
There's not much that I can tell him about the library because he knows our building, our facility

844
01:18:16,260 --> 01:18:18,420
and our department inside and out already.

845
01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:25,240
In any department, some departments are more challenging than others, but it's still never

846
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:31,120
to have a position where you're public facing or working intensely with the public day in

847
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:37,760
day out. He always goes about that with an absolute sense of calm and is able to kind

848
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:43,160
of bring the blood pressure of any situation back down to a normal rate and that's certainly

849
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,280
a character that I appreciate. Thank you John.

850
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:56,340
Now working with the library all these years has been a huge part of my personal growth and happiness.

851
01:18:56,340 --> 01:19:00,160
I'd like to thank the Board of Supervisors for recognizing you.

852
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:16,240
Also, for 20 years of service, we would like to recognize from the Probation Department, Gloria Garcia,

853
01:19:16,860 --> 01:19:22,520
Deputy Probation Officer, Supervisor, and her award will be presented by Jose Pantoya,

854
01:19:22,900 --> 01:19:24,400
Deputy Chief Probation Officer.

855
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:25,200
More

856
01:19:34,610 --> 01:19:39,450
than everyone, I'm Jose Panko, I'm the deputy of Chief of the Medellary County Probation Department, and I would

857
01:19:39,450 --> 01:19:45,990
a first brief you'd like to thank the Board for allowing us to stop opportunity and knowing the importance of recognizing our staff, so thank you guys.

858
01:19:46,510 --> 01:19:54,790
Supervisor Gloria Garcia, she's been with our departments since 1997, where she started off as a juvenile detention officer at the boot camp.

859
01:19:56,050 --> 01:20:01,390
Her dedication, her motivation, her eagerness, she quickly climbed up the ranks there.

860
01:20:01,390 --> 01:20:11,690
She got promoted to juvenile detention supervisor, and she shifted gears a little bit, and she switched over to the probation side where she became a deputy probation officer.

861
01:20:13,510 --> 01:20:25,610
And that was in 2001. Again, a commotivation for e-berness or dedication wanted to learn a promote. She became a senior in 2006, and her current role as a supervisor in 2010.

862
01:20:26,710 --> 01:20:32,510
Gloria is loyal. She's dedicated. She's passionate about her job. She's a great employee.

863
01:20:33,410 --> 01:20:37,930
She's taken on many tasks, specifically recently the proposition of 63. That's going to take effect.

864
01:20:38,150 --> 01:20:44,090
It's January. She's really taken on that role in defining and outlying provisions role in that proposition.

865
01:20:46,290 --> 01:20:48,610
Gloria, thank you for your 20 years of service. We appreciate it.

866
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,940
Hi. I just wanted to make it clear that I started when I was 10.

867
01:20:58,580 --> 01:21:03,940
These 20 years have flown by. I want to thank God for allowing me to be here. I want

868
01:21:03,940 --> 01:21:10,540
to thank my parents for instilling me the work ethic that they did to allow me to be here.

869
01:21:11,740 --> 01:21:19,000
I want to thank the chief for all his support and encouragement and guidance. Thank you.

870
01:21:19,340 --> 01:21:24,080
All the DCs for all their guidance as well. I want to thank my husband for being here,

871
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:25,800
I'm going to go see it.

872
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:26,420
It is my husband.

873
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,120
We actually share the exact same anniversary date.

874
01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:32,300
So we both, you know, 20 years together here.

875
01:21:34,700 --> 01:21:37,520
And then I want to thank my staff that came here to support me today.

876
01:21:37,660 --> 01:21:39,740
So Fia Barca, Lisa Turner, and Rudy on this.

877
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:40,720
So thank you.

878
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,900
Without them, I can do the job that I do now.

879
01:21:44,220 --> 01:21:47,100
I'm very grateful to have worked for the county for 20 years.

880
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:47,980
It's a great county.

881
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:48,700
It's a great department.

882
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:50,440
And I thank you so much.

883
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:50,920
Thank you.

884
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:51,560
It is.

885
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:52,540
For

886
01:21:59,700 --> 01:22:01,900
20 years from the Public Works Department,

887
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,260
I would like to recognize I skipped someone on accident.

888
01:22:06,440 --> 01:22:09,080
I would like to recognize Randy Rosenfeld,

889
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:10,320
equipment operator.

890
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:14,200
Unfortunately, he was unable to attend today's ceremony.

891
01:22:15,140 --> 01:22:17,720
So next for 20 years of service is Keith Daniels.

892
01:22:18,300 --> 01:22:19,940
Special District's electrician.

893
01:22:20,380 --> 01:22:23,600
His award will be presented by Ahmad Al-Qayat.

894
01:22:26,440 --> 01:22:27,260
Good morning again.

895
01:22:27,440 --> 01:22:28,820
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board.

896
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,080
Keith Daniel started with Medare County in August, 11th, 1997.

897
01:22:34,660 --> 01:22:40,420
All I can say is that public courts department has been blessed with having Keith Daniels as part of our team.

898
01:22:41,220 --> 01:22:44,620
Your board knows the state of our special districts and water systems.

899
01:22:46,180 --> 01:22:49,440
Some of these plants are more than 50 years old.

900
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:53,820
Keith can open the control panel at this plant and resolve issues,

901
01:22:53,820 --> 01:22:58,560
issues, whether it was built to the 1960s code or to the day's code.

902
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,400
While many of these panels intimidate the average person with thousands of wires rolling

903
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:10,400
all over the place, this is what Keith says, if you can read a road map, you can solve this.

904
01:23:10,580 --> 01:23:12,940
So I forgot those two, remember the folding road maps.

905
01:23:13,820 --> 01:23:19,360
Although Keith has tossed the toss around the R word, we are proud of him and congratulate

906
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,480
him for 20 years of service.

907
01:23:21,480 --> 01:23:26,200
However, we won't give up on trying to get him to stay for another 20.

908
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,560
Keith, I'm humbled to be handing this to you. Congratulations.

909
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:43,260
You know, I had a boss tell me one time that everybody's got to find home.

910
01:23:43,940 --> 01:23:45,900
And I think I found it here at Madera County.

911
01:23:46,480 --> 01:23:49,620
Absolutely. And I certainly appreciate this award.

912
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:54,700
But it's easy to see why I was able to have this success that I've had here.

913
01:23:54,700 --> 01:24:04,720
When I have a great boss like a mod and Muhammad, Marty Duval, Chad, all of the operators

914
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:14,320
that work in the district, you know, I am team and without their support I couldn't have done my job effectively.

915
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:20,720
And so, also I'd like to say thank you to the girls, because in the office, because

916
01:24:21,620 --> 01:24:29,820
Patty and Sarah, Maria, all of those girls do a great job, and they work overtime,

917
01:24:29,860 --> 01:24:32,400
even me out of trouble and who would stand outside.

918
01:24:34,900 --> 01:24:39,460
But I've had a great time here, and I really appreciate you all.

919
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:40,520
Thank you very much.

920
01:24:48,690 --> 01:24:54,070
For 20 years of service from the Sheriff's Department, we would like to recognize Mark

921
01:24:54,070 --> 01:24:59,550
Schaffer, Deputy Sheriff, Intermediate Post, his award will be presented by Sheriff

922
01:24:59,550 --> 01:25:00,010
Dave Arne.

923
01:25:08,790 --> 01:25:12,450
So, Mark is one of those guys that we'd all like to have as an employee, and I've got just

924
01:25:12,450 --> 01:25:17,310
a couple of quick stories to share, because he'll probably say thank you and walk away

925
01:25:17,310 --> 01:25:22,450
because he's a man a few words, Mark is super dependable, and he even gives his best

926
01:25:22,450 --> 01:25:28,370
sometimes when we have unusual things we need him to do, he had an injury that took him off the road last year,

927
01:25:28,670 --> 01:25:33,450
but he was able to work like duty, so he came into dispatch, and I shouldn't have known,

928
01:25:34,110 --> 01:25:37,910
but I didn't know, so I'm listening to radio drive around, I'm thinking, who is that guy?

929
01:25:38,090 --> 01:25:41,610
I have the radio, he's doing a really good job, but I think we didn't hire anybody.

930
01:25:42,590 --> 01:25:48,010
So even dispatch, which isn't a deputy's favorite assignment, Mark did a really good job in there,

931
01:25:48,010 --> 01:25:52,550
And then the other thing that Mark is really known for at our agency is, by far, and this

932
01:25:52,550 --> 01:25:57,270
is saying something, especially since now he's a K-9 handler, he has the cleanest car

933
01:25:57,270 --> 01:25:58,170
in the whole place.

934
01:25:58,370 --> 01:26:03,830
And that this car is so clean that at the junction fire, his wife and his son brought us some

935
01:26:03,830 --> 01:26:08,150
water and his personal truck, and I was a little busy, because we were right there at the fire

936
01:26:08,150 --> 01:26:08,430
station.

937
01:26:08,450 --> 01:26:09,450
The fire is right there.

938
01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:14,030
I was helping him unload the truck, and I didn't recognize his wife, and I was talking

939
01:26:14,030 --> 01:26:14,530
with his son.

940
01:26:14,590 --> 01:26:17,830
I had met him before, and I said, oh, you dance a deputy, and I looked at the truck

941
01:26:17,830 --> 01:26:23,690
said he would dad march safer because that truck was so clean even right next to the fire

942
01:26:23,690 --> 01:26:28,010
that you could have eaten off it. So Mark has done a wonderful job force for the past

943
01:26:28,010 --> 01:26:33,610
20 years. Currently as a canine handler, as a canine apex they've been on the road together

944
01:26:33,610 --> 01:26:41,290
about 13, 14 months. He is previously been an FTO and a member of the SWAT team in 1952.

945
01:26:41,490 --> 01:26:46,350
Were you? No, no die. Okay, could be as a new somebody else but Mark is one of the guys who's

946
01:26:46,350 --> 01:26:51,670
there. He's one of the guys that, you know, what we do in our line of work is when we're driving around,

947
01:26:51,810 --> 01:26:56,230
we listen to the radio, and that's what I want to say we judge our employees by that, but we get a good

948
01:26:56,230 --> 01:27:00,610
feel for our employees that way. And Mark's one of those employees that I know when he's working,

949
01:27:00,770 --> 01:27:04,750
if it calls for holding or ready to go out, I don't have to worry about it, he's just going to take care of it.

950
01:27:05,310 --> 01:27:07,790
So, Mark, congratulations on 20 years with the Sheriff's Office.

951
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:17,460
Well, I would like to say thank you for the opportunity to work from Medare County.

952
01:27:17,460 --> 01:27:28,680
It's been my privilege. I like to thank God for this opportunity. Over 20 years ago, about 21 years ago, I got out of the army for about four years of service.

953
01:27:29,180 --> 01:27:33,400
I decided I was going to be a paramedic until my brother said, come on, right along.

954
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,700
And that's all it took. He worked for the Fresno County Sheriff's Office.

955
01:27:39,260 --> 01:27:43,900
ever since been it's been an adventure every day's an adventure you never know what you're

956
01:27:43,900 --> 01:27:49,260
going to get just like force comes in. I just like the box of chocolates. I've met a lot of

957
01:27:49,260 --> 01:27:56,360
bit interesting people learned a lot of things and made a lot of friends. The job can be stressful

958
01:27:56,360 --> 01:28:04,420
at times and it's stressful on the family. I'd like to thank my wife Lisa. She's been Lisa.

959
01:28:08,750 --> 01:28:09,190
Lisa

960
01:28:09,190 --> 01:28:17,390
work, no matter how stressful the day is, we'll be between us, our two kids, and our four

961
01:28:17,390 --> 01:28:24,350
dogs at home. We got a full house. I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for your service

962
01:28:24,350 --> 01:28:25,450
to our country as well.

963
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:45,440
Okay, lastly, for 20 years of service, from the Department of Social

964
01:28:45,440 --> 01:28:52,100
Services, we would like to award Maria Chappa, Employment Training Workers Supervisor,

965
01:28:52,100 --> 01:28:56,700

966
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:07,660
Okay, good morning again, supervisors.

967
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:10,940
Unfortunately, I just realized I really do need my reading glasses.

968
01:29:11,620 --> 01:29:13,620
So, this time I bought my light and see if this helps a bit.

969
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:14,100
Okay.

970
01:29:14,340 --> 01:29:15,120
No, by the line.

971
01:29:15,440 --> 01:29:16,120
Excuse me?

972
01:29:16,340 --> 01:29:18,180
Oh, well, I know I'm almost far with somebody.

973
01:29:19,100 --> 01:29:19,540
Okay.

974
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:21,360
So, this is Maria Zepapa, the Chapa.

975
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:25,880
She joined the Department of the Merit County Department of Services on June 11th and 1990

979
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:49,160
In January of 2003, Maria has to be certified by a new worker allowing her to serve the Spanish speaking community.

980
01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:54,640
and in February of 2007, she was promoted as a balanced religious training worker

981
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:59,960

982
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:10,060
Here, as an employment training supervisor, congratulations to the 20 years of service to the Department of Social Services and the community in Medare County. She is a lovely person.

983
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:31,060
I feel like I have grown up in the Department of Social Services. I love my job. I love serving the community and being able to help people overcome barriers and become self-sufficient. So thank you for the opportunity to serve the community.

984
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:33,680
And

985
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:45,920
also for social services, we would like to recognize Monica Maxwell, administrative analyst

986
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:51,600
too, and her award will also be presented by Deborah Martinez Director of Social Services.

987
01:30:54,200 --> 01:31:03,280
So, Monica, Monica Maxwell joined the County Department of Social Services in April, first

988
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:07,060
of 1997 as an office assistant, too, and quickly promoted

989
01:31:07,060 --> 01:31:10,180
to program manager secretary in November 1st of 1998.

990
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:13,880
She remained in this position until September of 2005,

991
01:31:14,100 --> 01:31:16,500
when she was promoted to a personnel assistant.

992

She promoted, again, to administrative assistant,

993
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:20,760

In this position, she was the assistant to the deputy directors.

995
01:31:24,480 --> 01:31:28,880
On April 1st, 2012, she promoted to her current position

996
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,240
as administrative analyst, too, with her primary duties

997
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:37,460

998
01:31:37,460 --> 01:31:41,840

999
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:48,620
Now I am Monica's supervisor as she well knows. And the number of times I say her name on

1000
01:31:48,620 --> 01:31:55,360
any given day is you and believe. It's Monica Monica Monica or email. So I truly appreciate

1001
01:31:55,360 --> 01:32:00,300
all the help Monica, you have a tremendous amount of knowledge and we couldn't do it without

1002
01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:01,300
Thank you.

1003
01:32:06,440 --> 01:32:09,180
I'd like to thank the Board for the recognition.

1004
01:32:09,580 --> 01:32:12,740
I'd also like to thank my staff at DSS without them.

1005
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,120
I couldn't do my job and then my staff, my DSS family.

1006
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:21,780
Personnel is not always an easy thing and with their support, it's been great.

1007
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,360
Only six years left.

1008
01:32:34,420 --> 01:32:40,820
And lastly, for 20 years of service from the Department of Social Services is Michelle Bennett,

1009
01:32:41,220 --> 01:32:45,040
Employment and Training Worker 2 presented by Deborah Martinez.

1010
01:32:48,630 --> 01:32:50,430
So I'm here with Michelle Bennett.

1011
01:32:50,430 --> 01:32:56,130
Michelle Bennett joined the Department of Services and the Dairy County on August 1st of

1012
01:32:56,130 --> 01:33:02,050
In 1997, as an office of this day, too, and then she promoted to data entry operators to

1013
01:33:02,050 --> 01:33:02,370
NASA.

1014
01:33:02,730 --> 01:33:08,130
On November 1, 1998, she promoted to eligibility worker 1, and a year later, too, too.

1015
01:33:08,130 --> 01:33:09,070
I know it's really worth it too.

1016
01:33:09,290 --> 01:33:15,210
She was then promoted again to employment training worker on August 1, 2005, and her career provision

1017
01:33:15,210 --> 01:33:21,570
of an employment training worker to on April 1, 2006, where she currently worked with employers

1018
01:33:21,570 --> 01:33:25,150
throughout the mid-Arient County, obtaining job services for her wealth of work client.

1019
01:33:25,150 --> 01:33:31,050
She congratulated for her 20 years of service to the Department of Social Services and the Community of the Air County.

1020
01:33:31,890 --> 01:33:33,910
Now, if you look at her, she looks a little petrified.

1021
01:33:34,430 --> 01:33:39,230
I have seen this woman present to employers and to our staff of over 300 staff.

1022
01:33:39,630 --> 01:33:41,930
And she has never looked nervous.

1023
01:33:43,670 --> 01:33:48,070
I actually think she really delayed her return because of her nerves.

1024
01:33:48,250 --> 01:33:49,110
I'm amazed.

1025
01:33:49,570 --> 01:33:51,730
I thought she was just going to be out here so confident.

1026
01:33:51,730 --> 01:33:54,150
I mean, pushing you should, you've done a tremendous job.

1027
01:33:54,590 --> 01:33:57,530
Your work with the Welfare Work client is very much appreciated,

1028
01:33:57,770 --> 01:33:59,090
and I know the employers love you.

1029
01:34:05,300 --> 01:34:07,620
I just want to say thank you very much for the recognition.

1030
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,140
I do have a little bit of a flaw in my character.

1031
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:16,440
I can sell a stone to someone, but unfortunately,

1032
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:18,820
I have a difficult time selling myself to others.

1033
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:22,480
But I do enjoy the opportunities that have been provided

1034
01:34:22,480 --> 01:34:24,320
to me through a welfare work

1035
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,380
and being able to work with our community employers

1036
01:34:27,380 --> 01:34:33,380
and helping our clientele secure and develop employment.

1037
01:34:34,300 --> 01:34:36,480
Unfortunately, they're probably making more money than me,

1038
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,540
but it is a good feeling, okay, it's so very much.

1039
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,780
I've known you 27 years, I have never known you to be nervous.

1040
01:34:44,060 --> 01:34:46,860
So you know what, you do a great job, and thank you.

1041
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:48,460
It's good to see you.

1042
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:58,000
This concludes our 2017 Employee Service Credit Awards.

1043
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:03,180
Again, I would like to invite everybody into our reception area for some refreshments.

1044
01:35:03,340 --> 01:35:04,500
Thank you.

1045
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:16,680
Mr. Chairman, at this time you wanted to take a break and then break in for lunch until 1 o'clock?

I want to speak it out to the public, any comments on the public.

Thank

01:48:36,110 --> 01:48:43,150

This is our annual item before the board to put properties into the Williams Act and the Farm Alliance Security.

1073
01:48:49,190 --> 01:48:53,530
Jamie has a brief PowerPoint presentation for the board of the public as well.

1074
01:48:53,850 --> 01:48:58,150
Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Members of the board. Before you are this year's contract.

1075
01:48:59,330 --> 01:49:04,750
So what Ron mentioned was, as part of the program, they have properties have to be zone

1076
01:49:04,750 --> 01:49:08,090
a specific zone district, which is the ARE-40 zone district.

1077
01:49:08,410 --> 01:49:13,770
So this year we received requests by the most session, the Gooding White properties,

1078
01:49:14,030 --> 01:49:18,530
frousing and sing properties to be zone to that zone district because they weren't previously

1079
01:49:18,530 --> 01:49:19,710
zone at before.

1080
01:49:20,570 --> 01:49:27,030
This item is considered exempt under sequa, all new ad preserves are considered exempt under

1081
01:49:27,030 --> 01:49:27,330

1082
01:49:27,330 --> 01:49:32,390
So, I'm just going to go through a list of maps and their acreages and their locations.

1083
01:49:33,090 --> 01:49:36,530
So, the first is 1695, which is the Miseschen property.

01:49:41,130 --> 01:49:44,490
The next is 1696, which is also Miseschen.

1094
01:50:39,490 --> 01:50:49,770
Because our 1704 is Prime Aglant, 232.88 acres, and the farmland security zones, which are all Prime Aglant, all irrigated.

1095
01:50:49,850 --> 01:50:52,830
The first is 515.82.

1096
01:50:52,830 --> 01:51:09,830
Let's take it 157.5 acres, 141.21 acres, 111.44 acres, 29.5 acres, which is completely surrounded

1097
01:51:09,830 --> 01:51:18,330
by contracted lands, and the last is 13,356.99 acres, which is also John Hancock or the

1098
01:51:19,430 --> 01:51:24,350
So, with that, staff is recommending approval of the resones,

1099
01:51:25,270 --> 01:51:27,550
resones, that are a condition of approval,

1100
01:51:28,090 --> 01:51:31,170
and it's also for the recommended that the chairman

1101
01:51:31,170 --> 01:51:33,870
execute contracts in accordance with this action,

1102
01:51:33,890 --> 01:51:35,450
and I'm available for any questions.

1103
01:51:37,150 --> 01:51:39,810
This is a public area in any comments on the public.

1104
01:51:46,180 --> 01:51:46,460
Hello.

1105
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:48,960
My name is Judy White.

1106
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:51,980
My husband Ralph and I, along with our neighbor,

1107
01:51:51,980 --> 01:51:56,860
Gene Gooding are trying to get our parcels into the protection of the Williamson Act.

1108
01:51:57,440 --> 01:52:01,320
We unparselled situated near the old mining town of Hildrith, California.

1109
01:52:02,180 --> 01:52:07,820
Our property and the surrounding areas are significant to and steep in the history of Madera County.

1110
01:52:08,460 --> 01:52:13,840
The vast majority of the neighbors in that area have their property protected under the Williamson Act.

1111
01:52:14,480 --> 01:52:21,020
In order to help protect this historically significant area, we too are requesting the same protection.

1112
01:52:21,020 --> 01:52:26,020
Our property was settled by the Ruben and Carolyn Williams family in 1882.

1113
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:29,100
They were the first registered owners.

1114
01:52:29,780 --> 01:52:33,140
Once gold was discovered in that area, the town of Hilbert Bound.

1115
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:36,560
There were numerous gold mines in the area.

1116
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:43,180
It is estimated that the town's population was anywhere from 600 to 3000 at any given time.

1117
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:47,520
There were numerous saloons, hotels, and other businesses.

1118
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:53,660
Like many small mining communities, it thrived as long as the gold flowed.

1119
01:52:53,860 --> 01:52:58,440
The Williams family was prominent in mining and many of the businesses in the town.

1120
01:52:58,900 --> 01:53:01,380
They grew vegetables on their land to feed the miners.

1121
01:53:01,940 --> 01:53:06,680
They built a hand over school on their property so that the miners' children would have

1122
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:07,900
a school to be educated.

1123
01:53:08,860 --> 01:53:12,500
The Williams family lived on this property for over 50 years.

1124
01:53:13,100 --> 01:53:16,460
In 1936, they sold the land to the Larson family.

1125
01:53:16,460 --> 01:53:24,060
The Larson family owned the land for an additional 81 years after that until selling it to us late last year.

1126
01:53:24,780 --> 01:53:30,720
The Williamson Act plays a critical role in preserving range land and protects the land from development.

1127
01:53:31,900 --> 01:53:38,620
Bringing our properties into the Williamson Act will help preserve and protect the history of this area from being forever erased,

1128
01:53:39,180 --> 01:53:42,660
along with protecting watershed and native animal habitats.

1129
01:53:42,660 --> 01:53:50,600
We are requesting your vote that you vote for our parcels on long-gold to come under the protection of the Williams enact.

1130
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:52,140
Thank you.

1131
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:52,700
Thank you.

1132
01:53:59,510 --> 01:54:00,790
Anybody else want to speak?

1133
01:54:01,970 --> 01:54:06,090
If not, we'll call the public here and bring it back to the board for the emotional proof.

1134
01:54:06,390 --> 01:54:06,630
Second.

1135
01:54:10,080 --> 01:54:11,200
One, two and three, right?

1136
01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:11,980
Yes.

1137
01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:14,080
Comfort the vote.

1138
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:14,940
Supervisor Rogers.

1139
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:16,500
Supervisor Frazier.

1140
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:18,200
Supervisor Wheeler.

1141
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:18,980
Yes.

1142
01:54:18,980 --> 01:54:19,720
Supervisor Rodriguez.

1143
01:54:29,590 --> 01:54:30,950
Thank you.

1144
01:54:33,510 --> 01:54:38,070
Item 7B, County Administration Department, hearing to consider solar power purchase agreements.

1145
01:54:38,930 --> 01:54:42,810
One discussion and consideration to adopt a resolution of proving power purchase agreements

1146
01:54:42,810 --> 01:54:47,970
and site lease agreements with California solar one LLC for solar systems for the implementation

1147
01:54:47,970 --> 01:54:53,030
of certain energy related improvements in county owned facilities and making certain findings

1148
01:54:53,030 --> 01:55:01,150
pursuant to government code sections 4217.12 and 42177.13.2 discussion consideration

1149
01:55:01,150 --> 01:55:05,670
to adopt the resolution of proving power purchase agreements with California Solar 1 LLC

1150
01:55:05,670 --> 01:55:10,270
for Solar Systems for the implementation of certain energy related improvements to county

1151
01:55:10,270 --> 01:55:16,010
lease facilities and making certain findings pursuant to government code sections 4217.12

1152
01:55:16,010 --> 01:55:18,890
and 42-177.13.

1153
01:55:21,350 --> 01:55:26,170
Good afternoon, Sean Kirkanchart from the Medare County Administrative Office.

1154
01:55:27,130 --> 01:55:35,790
Just wanted to say this is the second phase of solar in Medare County and we had a very successful phase

1155
01:55:35,790 --> 01:55:38,750
one and are already seeing the savings from that.

1156
01:55:39,330 --> 01:55:43,110
And so right here jumping into it.

1157
01:55:43,110 --> 01:55:51,370
On August 2017, the county released a request for proposal for solar systems and power purchase

1158
01:55:51,370 --> 01:55:51,830
agreements.

1159
01:55:52,670 --> 01:55:58,370
We're pursuing that option in order to avoid the upfront out-of-pocket cost to the county.

1160
01:55:59,190 --> 01:56:03,490
The cost for design installation and maintenance are going to be borne by the provider.

1161
01:56:04,210 --> 01:56:11,030
We had one bidder, that was Optary Energy, and after reviewing the county facilities, Optary

1162
01:56:11,030 --> 01:56:18,650
came with a proposal for the five different sites, which would actually be eight different

1163
01:56:18,650 --> 01:56:24,110
individual locations, for them at the Future Health and Social Services Office complex,

1164
01:56:24,930 --> 01:56:30,690
and then one at the Sheriff's Office, the Dublin Plant, Medare County, Elm and Yard, and

1165
01:56:30,690 --> 01:56:32,050
the Ocar's Choice Water Treatment.

1166
01:56:35,130 --> 01:56:39,450
So under these purchase power agreements and lease agreements, I'll tell you, would design

1167
01:56:39,450 --> 01:56:42,230
install and maintain the solar system.

1168
01:56:42,870 --> 01:56:47,690
The county would purchase electricity through these agreements for the next 20 to 25 years,

1169
01:56:47,950 --> 01:56:48,890
locking in that rate.

1170
01:56:49,770 --> 01:56:54,570
The county would have limited risk since subterra is responsible for the performance of

1171
01:56:54,570 --> 01:56:55,430
the solar system.

1172
01:56:56,650 --> 01:57:01,250
And the county will have a purchase option at year 715-20 and 25.

1173
01:57:02,270 --> 01:57:06,370
If the purchase option is not exercised, then the panels can be removed and no cost of

1174
01:57:06,370 --> 01:57:14,470
county and before you today you have eight power purchase agreements to consider, four of them

1175
01:57:14,470 --> 01:57:19,050
is the Public Health and Social Services Building's going in, the Sheriff's Office, the

1176
01:57:19,050 --> 01:57:24,730
Dublin Plant, the County Almond Yard, and the Oak Chris Waste Water Treatment Plant.

1177
01:57:25,030 --> 01:57:29,850
There's three site leases for the Dublin Plant, the Medair County Almond Yard, and the Waste

1178
01:57:29,850 --> 01:57:30,830
Water Treatment Plant.

1179
01:57:30,830 --> 01:57:39,170
The other five would have to be executed by the owners of those other sites for the shared

1180
01:57:39,170 --> 01:57:45,670
office and for the land for the new complex for health and social services.

1181
01:57:47,370 --> 01:57:54,990
So, these are, right here we have a shoot from Aterra who will be able to give more information.

1182
01:57:58,030 --> 01:57:58,590
Thank you.

1183
01:57:58,590 --> 01:58:00,210
Thank you, Mr. Kutpatrak.

1184
01:58:01,270 --> 01:58:01,850
Good afternoon.

1185
01:58:03,190 --> 01:58:04,930
Mr. Chairman, members of the Board.

1186
01:58:05,630 --> 01:58:06,030
Staff.

1187
01:58:06,590 --> 01:58:07,450
Ashud Jain with.

1188
01:58:08,210 --> 01:58:09,390
Operative Energy Services.

1189
01:58:09,430 --> 01:58:10,850
It's good to be back in front.

1190
01:58:10,970 --> 01:58:12,730
Front of your board after, I don't know,

1191
01:58:12,770 --> 01:58:14,330
three of, maybe five years.

1192
01:58:16,210 --> 01:58:18,990
So, I'd like to briefly go through our presentation.

1193
01:58:19,650 --> 01:58:21,910
And I'm not going to take a lot of time.

1194
01:58:23,710 --> 01:58:24,130
So,

1195
01:58:26,540 --> 01:58:28,280
we already have a copy.

1196
01:58:28,280 --> 01:58:36,020
I'm assuming in front of you, so either some of our county projects, we've done a lot of work in surrounding counties.

1197
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:47,080
So in the next slide, slide six, we're showing what we did for phase one, what we call phase one, and now.

1198
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:59,100
And it was a 1.4 megawatt solar project at the jail, jail site and the solar panels here at the parking structure and across the road here.

1199
01:58:59,580 --> 01:59:04,240
And also we completely renovated the library HVAC system.

1200
01:59:04,580 --> 01:59:07,260
So good project, it's been performing as expected.

1201
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:15,940
So in front of your board today is, we have brought forward,

1202
01:59:15,940 --> 01:59:22,540
And we've been working with staff for almost 6 to 8 months and trying to size this systems

1203
01:59:22,540 --> 01:59:25,080
and technically they've evaluated the systems.

1204
01:59:26,020 --> 01:59:34,380
So we have eight projects total of approximately 1.9 megawatts, you know, 1936 kilowatts.

1205
01:59:37,040 --> 01:59:46,460
I'm going to run through these preliminary layouts, so this is the HSS building, so it's

1206
01:59:46,460 --> 01:59:52,480
for separate parcels for buildings, and we size the solar project to meet the demand,

1207
01:59:52,700 --> 01:59:55,800
the projected demand for each one of these four buildings.

1208
01:59:58,190 --> 01:59:59,850
And please, if you have any questions, please.

1209
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:09,720
The sheriff's office, we are building a solar-shaped structure again for parking, and that's been

1210
02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:14,700
sized for the electrical electricity consumption at the building.

1211
02:00:18,390 --> 02:00:20,490
The Ocas plant is a little interesting.

1212
02:00:21,570 --> 02:00:27,030
Its consumption is actually more than what we could avoid with the solar project, because we couldn't find

1213
02:00:27,030 --> 02:00:34,810
locations to install solar panels there. It was really tight. So we really want to thank

1214
02:00:34,810 --> 02:00:41,490
public works. They really worked diligently with us on all these projects to identify

1215
02:00:41,490 --> 02:00:48,060
the space and all the other constraints. So every layout that I'm showing you has been

1216
02:00:48,060 --> 02:00:52,860
gone through not only that instead of office but public works office.

1217
02:00:56,590 --> 02:00:57,590
The Dublin plant

1218
02:00:57,590 --> 02:01:03,190
that was available space and it actually pretty much takes care of the load of the Dublin

1219
02:01:03,190 --> 02:01:11,030
plant. In the arm and yard we have avoiding the entire electricity use at the plant.

1220
02:01:21,610 --> 02:01:21,750
So when

1221
02:01:21,750 --> 02:01:34,030
quickly go through the financials. So it's a total of, you know, like I mentioned, a total

1222
02:01:34,030 --> 02:01:43,390
of 1.9 megawatts that you'll be installing in these eight sites. The HSSBC and B-Buldings

1223
02:01:43,390 --> 02:01:49,970
are 20 year leasterms and the Sheriff's Office is a 20 year B-P-A term, not a least, B-P-A term,

1224
02:01:49,970 --> 02:01:54,930
or at least MPPA and the other four buildings are 25 year terms.

1225
02:01:56,150 --> 02:02:00,850
So we'll be owning the project and we'll completely maintain it.

1226
02:02:00,970 --> 02:02:03,050
The county doesn't have to do anything.

1227
02:02:03,270 --> 02:02:05,470
It's completely owned and operated by us.

1228
02:02:06,990 --> 02:02:09,170
And in this spreadsheet, in the cash flow,

1229
02:02:09,390 --> 02:02:12,350
what we are showing is actually,

1230
02:02:12,510 --> 02:02:15,110
sorry, the first column shouldn't have any dollar signs.

1231
02:02:15,730 --> 02:02:17,950
It's the amount of kilowatt hour generated.

1232
02:02:17,950 --> 02:02:24,550
Okay, on the, you have the right slides there and the numbers correct in the slide.

1233
02:02:25,130 --> 02:02:30,850
So 3.1 million kilowatt hours is going to be generated for these eight sites.

1234
02:02:31,430 --> 02:02:37,930
Currently a paying 22 cents per kilowatt hour on an average for these eight sites.

1235
02:02:38,650 --> 02:02:42,850
And that includes the budget, you know, our projections for the HSS buildings.

1236
02:02:43,870 --> 02:02:49,970
And the solar unfortunately doesn't avoid the entire electricity cost.

1237
02:02:50,230 --> 02:02:53,470
You still have to pay PG&E for some of the cost.

1238
02:02:53,710 --> 02:02:59,910
So even though you are paying 22 cents, you're only going to benefit by 18.8 cents.

1239
02:03:00,350 --> 02:03:03,830
So you still have to pay PG&E approximately, you know, 2.5 cents.

1240
02:03:04,250 --> 02:03:08,770
So that's related to the fixed charges demand charges that cannot be avoided by the solar

1241
02:03:08,770 --> 02:03:09,210
project.

1242
02:03:10,410 --> 02:03:25,330
So, in the first year you are paying 18.8 and the PPA price is it is different for each building but on an average it works out to 16.47 cents and it is fixed for the term.

1243
02:03:25,810 --> 02:03:33,050
So, the PPA price, the price that we are charging you for every kilowatt hour of electricity that the solar project produces is fixed.

1244
02:03:33,050 --> 02:03:38,790
It's the same price that you'll be paying for 20 years, and as you know, PG&E's cost keeps increasing.

1245
02:03:40,090 --> 02:03:44,490
So, as time goes by, your this project is going to deliver more and more savings to you.

1246
02:03:44,990 --> 02:03:48,730
So, we have assumed a 5% escalation of electricity cost.

1247
02:03:50,210 --> 02:04:02,330
So, you know, over the 25 year, over the 30 year life of the solar project, you know, your savings work out to approximately 16 million.

1248
02:04:04,730 --> 02:04:09,690
So, I think let's see what's in the next slide,

1249
02:04:12,410 --> 02:04:15,390
so you know, with this project you benefit

1250
02:04:15,390 --> 02:04:21,810
by $16 million over the life of the project. You'll have a fixed cost of electricity,

1251
02:04:22,670 --> 02:04:32,790
you know, so you're basically hedging the price of electricity, you don't have to, you

1252
02:04:32,790 --> 02:04:40,290
And when I say that the levelized cost of energy is 15 cents per kilowatt hour for 30 years,

1253
02:04:40,530 --> 02:04:49,310
that just the amount of what you are paying over 30 years will be, you know, it is the total

1254
02:04:49,310 --> 02:04:52,910
project cost divided by the total kilowatt hour is generated.

1255
02:04:53,770 --> 02:05:01,110
So essentially you are buying with this project, electricity at 15 cents a kilowatt hour for 30

1256
02:05:01,110 --> 02:05:07,910
years and you know right now you're paying 22 so and which is going to escalate so that's

1257
02:05:07,910 --> 02:05:15,590
how attractive this project is and there are some other benefits listed here but you know

1258
02:05:15,590 --> 02:05:22,630
we try to work with local contractors as much as we can and we again try and do that there's

1259
02:05:22,630 --> 02:05:27,590
substantial environmental benefits and you know it's a completely it's a system that's on

1260
02:05:27,590 --> 02:05:32,110
operate it by us, so there's no, you don't need any staff to work on this.

1261
02:05:32,990 --> 02:05:43,030
I think, sorry, if you're bored, proof this project today, we promised to start the design

1262
02:05:43,030 --> 02:05:51,730
immediately and then, you know, in the next 15 months, because some of your HSS building

1263
02:05:51,730 --> 02:05:56,430
will come online later, I think over 15 months will be able to complete entire project.

1264
02:05:56,430 --> 02:06:03,690
But the first four buildings will be done pretty soon and then we'll wait for the HSS buildings to come on and then we'll complete those projects.

1265
02:06:04,150 --> 02:06:07,270
But we hope to be done by March of 2019.

1266
02:06:08,270 --> 02:06:10,170
We happy to answer any questions.

1267
02:06:13,050 --> 02:06:19,520
The first question is, how come we haven't got the share of the office of in Oak Ridge on this?

1268
02:06:22,850 --> 02:06:24,470
I couldn't respond to that surprise with.

1269
02:06:24,610 --> 02:06:27,430
I did not do the evaluation and make the recommendations on the buildings.

1270
02:06:27,430 --> 02:06:34,390
So, all of the proposed sites, via Terra, we've looked at it, and financially, they all make sense.

1271
02:06:35,130 --> 02:06:41,810
So, right now, everything that's been proposed, we're saying, absolutely, these make sense.

1272
02:06:42,730 --> 02:06:48,450
So, that could definitely be more sites in the future that we will be looking at, potentially.

1273
02:06:50,690 --> 02:06:53,630
I think you looked at it,

1274
02:06:53,670 --> 02:06:57,490
supervisor Wheeler, and I think from what I remember it was,

1275
02:06:58,770 --> 02:07:00,850
the way the parking lot was laid out,

1276
02:07:00,970 --> 02:07:03,450
there was not a lot of space to put shade structures.

1277
02:07:04,030 --> 02:07:05,450
So it would have been a very small project.

1278
02:07:05,850 --> 02:07:07,490
That's what I recollect when I looked at it.

1279
02:07:07,650 --> 02:07:09,830
Which kind of pretty good parking lot I had front of me.

1280
02:07:09,950 --> 02:07:11,090
You do? Good price to put.

1281
02:07:11,810 --> 02:07:11,830
Okay.

1282
02:07:12,050 --> 02:07:14,910
The panel crossed it all the way from one end to the banker,

1283
02:07:15,110 --> 02:07:16,210
up to where you fall in here.

1284
02:07:16,210 --> 02:07:22,250
I thought I looked at it, but we'll be happy to look at it again and we'll bring it back. I mean we're going to be here

1285
02:07:22,250 --> 02:07:27,830
I mean I don't I just know why we didn't do it because we did the shift off down here and

1286
02:07:27,830 --> 02:07:32,370
And this will be older than one down here. It's right now here, but it I think we're a look at

1287
02:07:32,370 --> 02:07:36,230
I think we're looking at all the years and maybe do the fire station here at the same time

1288
02:07:36,230 --> 02:07:37,730
That's ours fire station, right?

1289
02:07:38,730 --> 02:07:40,750
So we got a big

1290
02:07:40,750 --> 02:07:57,130
parking a lot to them in the back, so we could look at it and see. And then the second thing is on the page 13, the financial page and the cost per electric. Why on the after 25 years that the PPA five goes to zero.

1291
02:07:57,990 --> 02:08:04,290
What? And he's going down to go 16 all that time. Then he goes to 13 after 20 and then he goes to zero after 26.

1292
02:08:05,450 --> 02:08:20,930
So, looking at over the 30-year span, it's an average 15 cents per kilowatt hour, but we get a lot of those savings at the end of the project, it's increasing savings over time, looking at as PG&E rates are likely to increase.

1293
02:08:20,930 --> 02:08:32,930
So right now the lock-in price initially would be the 1647, but there's some of the projects

1294
02:08:32,930 --> 02:08:39,810
are 20 years, and then some are at the 25, and so that explains the difference once.

1295
02:08:40,450 --> 02:08:49,830
At the end of a project, if the purchase option were exercise, then at that point the price for under that

1296
02:08:49,830 --> 02:08:53,570
column would show a zero, such as for the last five years, for the years.

1297
02:08:53,850 --> 02:08:58,370
Okay, 26 through 30, it said zero, but doesn't mean we're not getting any energy, it means

1298
02:08:58,370 --> 02:09:03,530
we're not paying for it because if we exercise the purchase options on the sites where that's

1299
02:09:03,530 --> 02:09:10,590
what we want to do, then there were paying zero under the question for power, and it's cost

1300
02:09:10,590 --> 02:09:12,670
then would be under the solar maintenance.

1301
02:09:13,170 --> 02:09:17,730
So you'll see that as three columns to the right would be the maintenance cost.

1302
02:09:17,730 --> 02:09:32,750
So if purchase options exercise, right now all of these projections show with the purchase options exercise right now at the end of the PPA term, it looks like right now looking ahead that that's what will make sense.

1303
02:09:33,110 --> 02:09:40,750
We'll really be making that determination in 20 years and in 25 years as to whether or not that's what makes sense then.

1304
02:09:40,750 --> 02:09:54,370
But right now, looking at it, it would make sense to execute this purchase options 20, 25 years from now, dropping the price of energy because with purchase of panels and then the cost shifts under the maintenance cost.

1305
02:09:54,870 --> 02:10:10,730
Okay, so the purchase price, if we decided to do any of those years, 15 or whatever was, is it a set price right now, what that price will be, or the total price across all eight projects would come out to about 16.46.

1306
02:10:10,730 --> 02:10:13,650
in cents? No, no, no. What would be the purchase?

1307
02:10:14,870 --> 02:10:22,090
271, 221,000 dollars for the buyout price for all the projects in year 20 and 25.

1308
02:10:22,370 --> 02:10:24,030
Sachs, for five of them, right?

1309
02:10:24,250 --> 02:10:27,090
Okay, seven of you, what would buyout price be?

1310
02:10:28,070 --> 02:10:31,850
Yes, seven. The price is about 15, 20 and 25.

1311
02:10:32,730 --> 02:10:40,130
Right. So it would definitely be significantly more, and those are all in the contracts.

1312
02:10:40,130 --> 02:10:44,410
for the 25 years said at 200,000,000 we said.

1313
02:10:45,810 --> 02:10:52,290
So for this, it shows the purchase executed at the end of the PPAs because that's actually the cheapest buyout,

1314
02:10:52,510 --> 02:10:54,090
waiting the longest length of time.

1315
02:10:54,710 --> 02:11:00,830
So if we wait until the end of the PPA contracts, then the ones that are ending at year 20,

1316
02:11:01,310 --> 02:11:05,010
those would be purchased at that time for 46,500.

1317
02:11:05,010 --> 02:11:14,850
And then for the ones ending in 2025, the purchase price would be 174,000, 175,000.

1318
02:11:15,190 --> 02:11:21,430
And then the total spent in buyout, if we wait till the end of the PPA term, which is the most beneficial for the county,

1319
02:11:21,830 --> 02:11:26,650
to wait for the end of the these contracts that are proposed, buying it at the end of it.

1320
02:11:26,810 --> 02:11:29,990
And then that has the least cost for the county for purchase.

1321
02:11:30,110 --> 02:11:32,250
If we purchase them early, which is certainly an option.

1322
02:11:32,390 --> 02:11:34,270
I mean, no prices are set in the contract.

1323
02:11:34,270 --> 02:11:35,030
Yes, they are.

1324
02:11:35,570 --> 02:11:42,930
And if we do execute those early, we'll need to look at this really at the year 7 and each

1325
02:11:42,930 --> 02:11:47,650
of those option years for purchase to see whether or not it makes sense to buy it then

1326
02:11:47,650 --> 02:11:48,470
or to wait longer.

1327
02:11:48,910 --> 02:11:53,610
Right now, looking at it, it looks like the best option is to wait to the end of those

1328
02:11:53,610 --> 02:11:57,970
PPA contracts because it will be the least costly for the county to purchase them at that

1329
02:11:57,970 --> 02:11:58,590
time.

1330
02:11:59,410 --> 02:12:00,770
And we'll have the most savings.

1331
02:12:01,870 --> 02:12:07,770
So we decide to purchase here 2025, how efficient will this project be?

1332
02:12:09,270 --> 02:12:12,750
So there's a degradation rate that's built into the project.

1333
02:12:13,090 --> 02:12:16,490
If you see in your cash flow, it's the roll last row.

1334
02:12:16,610 --> 02:12:18,090
It says half a percent.

1335
02:12:18,610 --> 02:12:24,770
So after 20 years, when the panels are guaranteed to produce at least,

1336
02:12:25,850 --> 02:12:29,890
to degrade no more than 15 percent at the end of 25 years.

1337
02:12:29,890 --> 02:12:32,710
So they'll be generating at 85%.

1338
02:12:32,710 --> 02:12:33,670
Yeah.

1339
02:12:34,550 --> 02:12:34,690
Yeah.

1340
02:12:34,690 --> 02:12:37,690
The actual projected electricity generation.

1341
02:12:39,490 --> 02:12:41,310
And then soon the column was done.

1342
02:12:41,630 --> 02:12:41,810
Right.

1343
02:12:42,050 --> 02:12:43,490
Yeah, second column right after year.

1344
02:12:43,790 --> 02:12:47,230
That will show the expected amount of energy generation each year.

1345
02:12:47,350 --> 02:12:51,970
Of course, it's number depends on weather and other factors over time.

1346
02:12:52,190 --> 02:12:55,850
I would say that it's likely that by the end of the 30 years,

1347
02:12:55,850 --> 02:13:00,530
the projected energy generation would actually be higher than this.

1348
02:13:00,670 --> 02:13:05,570
I understand that these are conservative projection estimates because at some point during

1349
02:13:05,570 --> 02:13:11,550
the lifespan, the 30-year lifespan of the panels, it actually platos in the degradation,

1350
02:13:11,810 --> 02:13:17,990
it's my understanding of the technology, but so this shows at a minimum, this is really

1351
02:13:17,990 --> 02:13:25,790
what we should expect, and that for some reason these systems are not producing what are projected

1352
02:13:25,790 --> 02:13:29,850
And those, that information it was provided by Altera,

1353
02:13:30,270 --> 02:13:32,850
there are actually assurances in the contracts,

1354
02:13:33,370 --> 02:13:35,230
and the power purchase agreements that say,

1355
02:13:35,430 --> 02:13:39,010
if it's not producing at least to a certain percent of this amount

1356
02:13:39,010 --> 02:13:42,390
that we're projecting, then there's what the shortfall rate,

1357
02:13:42,810 --> 02:13:46,690
which basically means that the county receives money

1358
02:13:46,690 --> 02:13:51,850
to help offset our additional costs for using PG&E for the rest of the energy we need.

1359
02:13:51,850 --> 02:14:00,170
So that shortfall rate actually helps offset the risk of the county if for some reason it didn't need

1360
02:14:00,470 --> 02:14:02,910
these housing rates in projections.

1361
02:14:03,410 --> 02:14:04,870
Supervisor Mudder?

1362
02:14:05,270 --> 02:14:07,970
Yeah, just a few specific questions on that.

1363
02:14:08,490 --> 02:14:10,630
You already gave us the production reduction coefficient.

1364
02:14:11,010 --> 02:14:14,730
This point five percent every year.

1365
02:14:16,670 --> 02:14:19,370
And for these monochristolic faces.

1366
02:14:20,090 --> 02:14:22,690
Yeah, these are monoposolines.

1367
02:14:23,850 --> 02:14:27,070
And can you tell me the brand of the panel?

1368
02:14:27,610 --> 02:14:30,250
We haven't decided, but probably going to be LG.

1369
02:14:31,430 --> 02:14:34,090
So, LG is of Eskoreen.

1370
02:14:34,430 --> 02:14:36,190
Yeah, it's a very good panel on the market.

1371
02:14:36,990 --> 02:14:38,190
That is one of the best panels.

1372
02:14:38,250 --> 02:14:40,110
I like the Sun power, but that's the Cadillac.

1373
02:14:41,310 --> 02:14:44,410
Sun power is the Cadillac.

1374
02:14:44,730 --> 02:14:49,050
And it's also a competitive.

1375
02:14:49,050 --> 02:14:54,270
Sure, I don't know if they're able to buy fouls from them. They'll jack up their face.

1376
02:14:55,130 --> 02:14:57,610
Yeah, exactly. They'll require their installers and stall them.

1377
02:14:57,970 --> 02:14:59,270
Right, they have a big one.

1378
02:15:00,430 --> 02:15:18,650
And a lower coefficient of reduction, but the, you guys are going to be maintaining the panels, which is very important to the production of the panels. So you'll clean them and keep that all well done. I see you shaking your head, yes.

1379
02:15:19,410 --> 02:15:26,030
In the production of the panels, the most important factors, there's two important factors

1380
02:15:26,030 --> 02:15:31,330
in design, that's true southerly positioned,

1381
02:15:33,530 --> 02:15:36,390
and then, of course, the pitch, and seven and

1382
02:15:36,390 --> 02:15:43,850
twelve pitch in our regions, the most optimal pitch that you can collect evenly, without having

1383
02:15:43,850 --> 02:15:47,830
a tracking panel that adjusts to the Sun,

1384
02:15:47,930 --> 02:15:49,870
you can collect all the state structure that actually

1385
02:15:49,870 --> 02:15:51,710
gets seven degrees in the office.

1386
02:15:52,590 --> 02:15:54,470
You take all that in consideration

1387
02:15:54,470 --> 02:15:56,910
when you're designing the system,

1388
02:15:57,130 --> 02:15:59,390
so you get the very best production out of it.

1389
02:15:59,830 --> 02:16:03,490
Because it's important to you to get the best production.

1390
02:16:03,850 --> 02:16:06,890
I'm only asking, I know that answer to all of these questions,

1391
02:16:07,290 --> 02:16:10,210
but I'm only asking because I want people to understand

1392
02:16:11,410 --> 02:16:13,010
that if these don't produce,

1393
02:16:13,010 --> 02:16:15,190
You're the one that's really hurt by it.

1394
02:16:15,610 --> 02:16:16,810
Right, and it's the same situation

1395
02:16:16,810 --> 02:16:18,330
if and on your current solar project,

1396
02:16:18,530 --> 02:16:19,750
we have a guarantee in place,

1397
02:16:20,130 --> 02:16:21,730
the guaranteeing 95% of the production.

1398
02:16:22,750 --> 02:16:24,970
And we have, by the way, we maintain these projects

1399
02:16:24,970 --> 02:16:26,310
through the one at the jail and this,

1400
02:16:26,490 --> 02:16:27,750
we can clean them, we do everything.

1401
02:16:29,310 --> 02:16:31,110
I suppose that Roger is, if you ever

1402
02:16:31,110 --> 02:16:32,830
decide to go into the solar industry,

1403
02:16:33,030 --> 02:16:33,450
you know?

1404
02:16:34,030 --> 02:16:34,790
Thank you.

1405
02:16:35,070 --> 02:16:37,110
I'll have to be a year after I leave office, so.

1406
02:16:37,190 --> 02:16:38,610
I'll wait for you, right?

1407
02:16:40,310 --> 02:16:42,130
Yeah, what's the serial number

1408
02:16:42,130 --> 02:16:49,730
for the each pet, I'm just, so I just want to look like on the MD10A

1409
02:16:49,730 --> 02:16:55,110
Dublin plan. So, right now, a lot of our special districts, you know, if we

1410
02:16:55,110 --> 02:16:57,670
had a tank there, which we don't, that'll be the next thing, right?

1411
02:16:57,990 --> 02:17:04,930
Robin, is that we have a grip space for that. So, good. But, so the way that we've

1412
02:17:04,930 --> 02:17:10,850
operated a lot of these, when they do have, we pump during the night times to avoid

1413
02:17:10,850 --> 02:17:19,510
the peak day rates. There's no peak rates here. There's no spikes during different times.

1414
02:17:20,210 --> 02:17:28,830
Can we still pump a night when there's demand on water systems when we don't have tanks to do that?

1415
02:17:29,730 --> 02:17:35,530
All that is, you know, you still would like to do all those conservation things.

1416
02:17:35,530 --> 02:17:39,510
is still going to be pumping at night if you can. That lowers your cost of electricity.

1417
02:17:42,170 --> 02:17:46,550
So, so you definitely want to be continuing all that. You are paying us a set rate

1418
02:17:46,550 --> 02:17:53,930
for every kilowatt hour we generate, but PG&E is still going to charge you based on your load profile.

1419
02:17:54,010 --> 02:18:02,650
So, if you suddenly shift all your pumping during the hours of afternoon, you are going to be paying them more.

1420
02:18:03,870 --> 02:18:14,530
So, you're still PG&E is still charging you, and when we say that you're paying 22 cents right now,

1421
02:18:15,050 --> 02:18:21,690
that 22 cents can jump up if you start consuming all your electricity in the daytime.

1422
02:18:21,690 --> 02:18:31,670
So, I would like to point out that of course, as Asash you said, there are still going to be some costs from PG&E.

1423
02:18:32,170 --> 02:18:36,090
It's, especially with P.K. usage when it is needed during the day at any site.

1424
02:18:36,690 --> 02:18:43,930
There's always going to be times where the energy use is going to spike during certain hours and during certain days of the hottest days of the year.

1425
02:18:43,930 --> 02:18:50,870
and that can't be completely avoided without really over-sizing the solar system, and then

1426
02:18:50,870 --> 02:18:53,790
that just encourages a much greater cost and eats into the savings.

1427
02:18:54,630 --> 02:19:01,190
The financially, it makes the most sense for the county, for us to try to produce, over

1428
02:19:01,190 --> 02:19:06,250
all the, you know, for most of the energy that we're going to be using and just really offset

1429
02:19:06,250 --> 02:19:10,870
those costs as much as possible without producing more energy than we're going to be needing

1430
02:19:10,870 --> 02:19:11,770
the rest of the time.

1431
02:19:11,770 --> 02:19:15,390
So it's kind of a give-and-take and a balance there.

1432
02:19:16,350 --> 02:19:19,090
So although there will still be some costs,

1433
02:19:19,390 --> 02:19:22,770
if the system is producing a lot of energy during the day,

1434
02:19:24,210 --> 02:19:32,050
then my understanding is that the devil plant could actually run more during that day to use the energy being produced.

1435
02:19:32,430 --> 02:19:34,290
That it can be matched to a certain extent.

1436
02:19:34,790 --> 02:19:39,430
So we're not producing energy that then's not being used for that particular site.

1437
02:19:39,430 --> 02:19:45,490
So then, of course, if the plant is needed beyond what's produced by the system, then it's

1438
02:19:45,490 --> 02:19:47,390
most efficient to really run it at night.

1439
02:19:47,890 --> 02:19:52,830
And so this kind of really depends on the energy level produced in when, and then matching

1440
02:19:52,830 --> 02:19:56,030
it up to try to use the energy being produced most efficiently.

1441
02:19:57,150 --> 02:20:05,070
And we work with staff to coordinate those times that really help to dial that in, see

1442
02:20:05,070 --> 02:20:06,010
a month coming up.

1443
02:20:06,590 --> 02:20:07,150
Yes.

1444
02:20:08,870 --> 02:20:13,970
The advantage that we have at Dublin is we have the newest, well with the newest equipment

1445
02:20:13,970 --> 02:20:21,390
with a variable drive, frequency drive, and the whole system is all connected.

1446
02:20:21,870 --> 02:20:28,510
So even using Dublin wisely, now that it has solar and it's the most energy efficient,

1447
02:20:29,050 --> 02:20:36,790
we're able to save a lot of energy on other PG&E build within this talk.

1448
02:20:36,790 --> 02:20:42,350
So we can capitalize on that savings and it's shared by the whole district.

1449
02:20:43,370 --> 02:20:46,690
So it's kind of hard to show all the savings budget?

1450
02:20:47,430 --> 02:20:58,170
Yeah, and I don't want to assume anything, so I need to ask these questions of staff to make sure we've studied our rate schedules and make sure that they're optimum.

1451
02:21:00,330 --> 02:21:03,870
And also, are we charged on demand charges?

1452
02:21:03,870 --> 02:21:14,310
I mean, I've got a large well that I get a demand charge on whether I use it or not, and it'll be a significant amount of the monthly bill.

1453
02:21:15,010 --> 02:21:16,550
So that's two questions for you.

1454
02:21:16,670 --> 02:21:26,030
There are peak usage charges which really come down to the most amount of energy used during the particular time frame, so each month.

1455
02:21:26,030 --> 02:21:30,750
And so that does account for a high portion of the current bills.

1456
02:21:31,530 --> 02:21:38,910
Of course the peak usage, the way the rates are charged by offsetting it with the solar,

1457
02:21:39,130 --> 02:21:42,170
as that's being that energy is approved during the day.

1458
02:21:42,450 --> 02:21:50,950
It's really going to lower the energy profile for the use of the grid from looking like a spike to a much lower...

1459
02:21:50,950 --> 02:21:52,790
So that lower your demand charge?

1460
02:21:52,790 --> 02:21:59,470
Well significant. Yeah, that was that's an important factor in and actually saving money in this whole thing

1461
02:21:59,850 --> 02:22:01,210
This is that's for most of them

1462
02:22:01,210 --> 02:22:04,170
Because they can be happy

1463
02:22:05,170 --> 02:22:09,010
I do want to say one thing on record that when I made the joke about

1464
02:22:10,330 --> 02:22:13,390
To support the Rogers to contact me. You wants to

1465
02:22:13,770 --> 02:22:17,570
To follow an industry. He was a complete joke and I was not

1466
02:22:18,350 --> 02:22:20,790
Oh, now he takes it back

1467
02:22:22,790 --> 02:22:26,790
I don't know how many girls are looking at me and it's here.

1468
02:22:28,170 --> 02:22:29,570
I would like to joke.

1469
02:22:29,750 --> 02:22:31,430
We know that.

1470
02:22:31,650 --> 02:22:33,010
Thank you.

1471
02:22:33,190 --> 02:22:34,950
This is a public hearing.

1472
02:22:36,230 --> 02:22:39,070
So does anybody from the public have any questions?

1473
02:22:40,860 --> 02:22:41,720
No, from some power.

1474
02:22:42,100 --> 02:22:42,820
So we'll close it.

1475
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:43,520
Bring it back.

1476
02:22:43,800 --> 02:22:44,860
Move to approve.

1477
02:22:45,700 --> 02:22:47,060
Item 1 and 2.

1478
02:22:51,110 --> 02:22:51,790
Half of the vote.

1479
02:22:51,990 --> 02:22:52,710
Supervisor Wheeler.

1480
02:22:53,170 --> 02:22:53,990
Supervisor Frater.

1481
02:22:54,710 --> 02:22:55,350
Supervisor Rogers.

1482
02:22:55,350 --> 02:22:56,790
Yes. Supervisor Rodriguez?

1483
02:22:57,210 --> 02:22:57,490
Yes.

1484
02:22:57,730 --> 02:22:59,390
Well passes for all one apps.

1485
02:22:59,670 --> 02:22:59,890
Thanks.

1486
02:22:59,970 --> 02:23:00,350
Thank you.

1487
02:23:00,450 --> 02:23:00,710
Thank you.

1488
02:23:00,730 --> 02:23:01,150
Thank you very much.

1489
02:23:01,450 --> 02:23:01,490
Sure.

1490
02:23:01,590 --> 02:23:02,570
Those work in protocentre.

1491
02:23:03,470 --> 02:23:05,130
People will receive and money right now.

1492
02:23:06,470 --> 02:23:06,550
Thank you.

1493
02:23:09,230 --> 02:23:15,650
7C Board of Directors Special District County Service Auriety 3 Park Sale Public Works Department Administration Division.

1494
02:23:16,130 --> 02:23:22,010
Hearing to consider adoption of a resolution setting water and sewer service fees for the County Service Auriety 3 Park Sale.

1495
02:23:26,310 --> 02:23:29,130
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and members of the Board.

1496
02:23:29,410 --> 02:23:31,330
Again, I'm at the OK at your Public Works Director.

1497
02:23:31,570 --> 02:23:34,170
With me here is Mr. Muhammad Al-Katami,

1498
02:23:34,290 --> 02:23:36,530
our Public Works Special District Manager.

1499
02:23:37,670 --> 02:23:41,710
And also, our consultant, Mr. Eric Heldesen,

1500
02:23:41,910 --> 02:23:43,810
with Bartel Wells and Associates.

1501
02:23:45,390 --> 02:23:49,970
On November 15, 2016, your board directed staff

1502
02:23:49,970 --> 02:23:53,270
to complete a rate study for all water and wastewater districts.

1503
02:23:53,270 --> 02:23:58,170
And we approved a contract with virtual wells to conduct those studies.

1504
02:23:58,910 --> 02:24:02,750
Today, we are coming to you for a protest hearing for your approval.

1505
02:24:04,210 --> 02:24:11,230
With this, I'll hand it to Muhammad to give you a brief history of CSA3, Parks Parts Day.

1506
02:24:13,110 --> 02:24:15,730
And then we're here to also take all your questions.

1507
02:24:16,630 --> 02:24:19,050
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the Board.

1508
02:24:19,050 --> 02:24:24,250
So just to go back in time a little bit to discuss why we're here and why we're doing these rate studies.

1509
02:24:24,610 --> 02:24:29,950
Obviously the districts are in dire needs of these increases.

1510
02:24:30,890 --> 02:24:34,450
We're doing the rate increases in faces and different phases.

1511
02:24:35,050 --> 02:24:39,990
Our top priority is to complete the studies for the districts with the most county debt.

1512
02:24:39,990 --> 02:24:49,290
And second, to complete the districts that need to increase the most and that are behind on the debt as well.

1513
02:24:52,100 --> 02:24:54,120
We took a two step approach for these studies.

1514
02:24:54,780 --> 02:24:59,740
One is to get that paid for as soon as possible.

1515
02:25:01,080 --> 02:25:08,300
And to make these districts self-sustainable with a rate that is appropriate for the district.

1516
02:25:09,680 --> 02:25:14,880
The last sewer and water rating increase for a parchedail was set on October 11, 2005.

1517
02:25:15,400 --> 02:25:22,520
Since the last rating increase, the district has accumulated approximately $350,000 in county-funded

1518
02:25:22,520 --> 02:25:22,960
debt.

1519
02:25:23,760 --> 02:25:27,400
With approval of this rate increased, this debt will be paid back within approximately

1520
02:25:27,400 --> 02:25:33,420
three calendar years in addition to bringing the rates to a level which is adequate to

1521
02:25:33,420 --> 02:25:35,800
cover the operation and maintenance of this district.

1522
02:25:35,800 --> 02:25:38,900
So with that, I'll turn it over to Mr. Helgeson.

1523
02:25:40,120 --> 02:25:47,240
Thanks for having me here again to present the study on a part-scale.

1524
02:25:48,280 --> 02:25:52,160
I also want to thank Aman Muhammad and Andrea for working so hard

1525
02:25:52,160 --> 02:25:58,220
and being so responsive to help us really lay the solid financial foundation

1526
02:25:58,220 --> 02:26:03,100
for these districts, for them to be able to provide

1527
02:26:03,100 --> 02:26:06,000
and the high level of service for the future.

1528
02:26:07,940 --> 02:26:14,300
Part still, as I was mentioned, does have a significant amount of debt to the general fund,

1529
02:26:16,020 --> 02:26:20,600
and some to the City of Madera as well for the sewer service.

1530
02:26:21,860 --> 02:26:27,900
Our main priority with this study was to bring the district to be financially sufficient,

1531
02:26:27,900 --> 02:26:38,300
Meaning that rates pay for operations and capital projects, as well as payback there, the debt

1532
02:26:38,300 --> 02:26:39,320
vote by the district.

1533
02:26:41,180 --> 02:26:47,240
I do have a piece of paper sheet for the dot cam,

1534
02:26:59,560 --> 02:27:07,600
and our objective is for the debt to be

1535
02:27:07,600 --> 02:27:11,640
partial year in fiscal year 1718.

1536
02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:36,640
And so this is a chart which shows the cash flow of water and sewer service.

1537
02:27:37,360 --> 02:27:43,420
And what it shows is each column is the total expense in each year.

1538
02:27:43,420 --> 02:27:54,560
In the first two fiscal years, part of the expense is funded via a loan from the county.

1539
02:27:55,300 --> 02:27:56,840
That's the yellow portion of the column.

1540
02:27:58,420 --> 02:28:04,180
And then, as the rates go into effect, which should be midway through fiscal year 1718,

1541
02:28:05,860 --> 02:28:09,360
the blue portion of the columns represents the part of the expenses,

1542
02:28:09,360 --> 02:28:12,060
is repaying the debt back to the county.

1543
02:28:13,140 --> 02:28:16,440
So you can see the rates bring the revenues,

1544
02:28:16,520 --> 02:28:20,400
which is the green line to be sufficient to pay expenses

1545
02:28:20,400 --> 02:28:21,520
and debt service.

1546
02:28:22,020 --> 02:28:25,800
And then at the end of the five-year plan,

1547
02:28:27,040 --> 02:28:29,460
the district will start to build reserves

1548
02:28:29,460 --> 02:28:36,140
to a prudent level to be able to pay for any sort of unforeseen

1549
02:28:36,140 --> 02:28:38,820
maintenance issue that occurs.

1550
02:28:41,480 --> 02:28:47,080
So below that are the proposed rates, proposed

1551
02:28:57,350 --> 02:28:59,390
rates for

1552
02:28:59,390 --> 02:29:09,080
water would go from 27.05 to 45.45 and the proposed rates for sewer would go from

1553
02:29:09,080 --> 02:29:14,000
$10.9 to $27.95 in the first year.

1554
02:29:15,080 --> 02:29:19,480
The sewer service is a collection system which feeds into the city of Madera.

1555
02:29:20,260 --> 02:29:23,460
And so that's for maintaining the district's portion,

1556
02:29:25,220 --> 02:29:28,920
the district's sewer collection system feeding to the city.

1557
02:29:30,240 --> 02:29:41,860
This is a survey of some regional survey for to put the water rates in context, it shows

1558
02:29:42,860 --> 02:29:46,660
some of the special districts as well as

1559
02:29:52,170 --> 02:29:54,610
some of the neighboring cities.

1560
02:29:54,610 --> 02:29:59,970
and the proposed rates are putting the...

1561
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:06,220
The district kind of in the middle of the inspection when it comes to water rates.

1562
02:30:06,960 --> 02:30:14,600
And again, the water rates have not been increased in quite a long time. This is basically 12 years.

1563
02:30:14,860 --> 02:30:23,620
So this is basically bringing it back into keeping up with inflation and paying being able to pay for the current cost of running a water system.

1564
02:30:25,340 --> 02:30:34,620
And finally, the just to show a breakdown of what the customers' bill would be.

1565
02:30:40,920 --> 02:30:43,740
Obviously, don't use these very often.

1566
02:30:46,300 --> 02:30:50,860
This is just a breakdown of the total rate.

1567
02:30:51,040 --> 02:30:56,700
And at the bottom, I included the current city portion of their sewer bill as well.

1568
02:30:56,700 --> 02:31:02,740
to show the total monthly amount that the customer will now be paying for water and sewer

1569
02:31:02,740 --> 02:31:03,400
service.

1570
02:31:04,900 --> 02:31:09,280
So, that concludes the summary of the district and open for any questions.

1571
02:31:13,130 --> 02:31:14,170
What would happen to you questions?

1572
02:31:14,650 --> 02:31:24,550
I just got one little, okay, not the just district have meters on the house, no, no, no,

1573
02:31:24,570 --> 02:31:25,510
no, they don't.

1574
02:31:25,510 --> 02:31:30,270
there's a woman called me a week and I was not on this this one she said they have meters

1575
02:31:30,270 --> 02:31:33,170
you haven't made a reading them are you going to start reading some of those up there

1576
02:31:33,990 --> 02:31:36,850
or they just if they're not being read they won't be read again

1577
02:31:36,850 --> 02:31:42,610
there there are new self do developments that are done by self health those have

1578
02:31:43,110 --> 02:31:47,170
meters but unfortunately until everybody has meters we can't charge a meter

1579
02:31:48,250 --> 02:31:52,450
grade so so once that's done we'll look into using a meter grade

1580
02:31:52,450 --> 02:31:59,650
answer so I can give that to her. Thank you. Then you'll pay according to use it. Yeah, correct.

1581
02:32:00,730 --> 02:32:04,570
You get a question from the board. It's not well. Take it out to the public. It's still a public hearing.

1582
02:32:08,260 --> 02:32:10,700
Call the public hearing. Bring me back to the board for action.

1583
02:32:11,600 --> 02:32:18,300
Move to OSU, your district. I'm going to make motion. Make a motion to approve the chairman.

1584
02:32:19,140 --> 02:32:24,800
I think we have to hear from the clerk of the board to hear any protests that we receive in the

1585
02:32:24,800 --> 02:32:25,960
number.

1586
02:32:28,100 --> 02:32:30,360
I don't have the poll numbers but there are no protests

1587
02:32:30,360 --> 02:32:32,940
who received. No. No.

1588
02:32:35,560 --> 02:32:39,760
Okay, I move the views. I send them. I send

1589
02:32:39,760 --> 02:32:43,780
corrected. We received one process letter. Okay.

1590
02:32:53,360 --> 02:32:54,960
All for the vote. Supervisor Wheeler.

1591
02:32:55,540 --> 02:33:01,300
Supervisor Rogers. Supervisor Rodriguez. Supervisor Fraser. Supervisor

1592
02:33:01,300 --> 02:33:02,040
Rodriguez?

1593
02:33:03,320 --> 02:33:03,960
Yes.

1594
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:07,160
Well, passes for 0-1-Apson.

1595
02:33:10,630 --> 02:33:11,890
Thank you.

1596
02:33:12,390 --> 02:33:13,010
A.A.

1597
02:33:13,010 --> 02:33:17,270
Board of Supervisors Department, discussion and consideration to adopt a resolution appointing

1598
02:33:17,270 --> 02:33:22,230
visit Yosemite Madera County as the officially ason of Yosemite Madera County Film Commission

1599
02:33:22,230 --> 02:33:23,810
for calendar year 2018.

1600
02:33:25,210 --> 02:33:26,830
I think we should take another break.

1601
02:33:29,370 --> 02:33:30,770
Great job.

1602
02:33:31,470 --> 02:33:31,630
Good.

1603
02:33:32,750 --> 02:33:34,890
Kenny twice as the vineyard.

1604
02:33:36,550 --> 02:33:37,830
Thank you for having me.

1605
02:33:39,350 --> 02:33:41,550
My name is Ron Nassauce Berry with Visit you.

1606
02:33:41,590 --> 02:33:44,230
We are your tourism bureau.

1607
02:33:44,790 --> 02:33:51,810
We are requesting to look at and take over the Fibb Commission as well.

1608
02:33:51,810 --> 02:34:12,250
So it's really funny, I actually spent 20 minutes this morning looking for a windbreaker that I had when I worked at the Pines Resort when we did the Great Outdoors, the Bass Lake Chamber was also the Bass Lake Film Commission and I have a windbreaker from 86 or yes, I'm my photo with him, I was a lot younger.

1609
02:34:12,250 --> 02:34:21,290
but so I've been involved with the film commission before the film commission was started in

1610
02:34:21,290 --> 02:34:26,050
82 part of the Bass Lake Chamber. We wanted to get films up there. We're doing a lot

1611
02:34:26,050 --> 02:34:30,330
of films in California and so Bass Lake and the local area was a great place in

1612
02:34:30,330 --> 02:34:36,290
Madera County. It was a great place to film. Then it looks like from the records I can find

1613
02:34:36,290 --> 02:34:37,250
about.

1614
02:34:38,870 --> 02:34:46,050
Sometimes, after that, the Southern Yosemite Visitors Bureau took over, and then in 1998

1615
02:34:46,050 --> 02:34:52,650
it looks like that the Bureau then hired on with Dave Woolen as the film commissioner,

1616
02:34:53,270 --> 02:34:55,270
and then he's been running that ever since.

1617
02:34:55,810 --> 02:35:06,270
I think that we split off with Dave Woolen about 2008, and then the county kind of

1618
02:35:07,270 --> 02:35:13,590
What we're asking for is just a year to basically look at the film commission.

1619
02:35:13,930 --> 02:35:20,690
I have not run one before, so I work for one long time ago, but I have not run one

1620
02:35:20,690 --> 02:35:21,410
for a long time.

1621
02:35:21,570 --> 02:35:24,730
We need to build a new website because the website is down.

1622
02:35:25,250 --> 02:35:25,750
It's gone.

1623
02:35:25,910 --> 02:35:28,250
We need to get a new brochure.

1624
02:35:29,010 --> 02:35:34,610
I've talked to the California Film Commission, asking them, and this is the purpose for

1625
02:35:34,610 --> 02:35:39,810
resolution as well, to recognize us as the official, you know, as the official film

1626
02:35:39,810 --> 02:35:40,090
commission.

1627
02:35:40,350 --> 02:35:44,630
We have to have one of those a madera county, I think we all know the value of that.

1628
02:35:45,450 --> 02:35:47,690
I believe it's going to be a lot of work to do it right.

1629
02:35:48,130 --> 02:35:52,850
So this year we're going to do some back-in work, we're going to look at a locator services,

1630
02:35:53,170 --> 02:35:59,550
maybe find out what what production companies are looking for as hard as photos, as far

1631
02:35:59,550 --> 02:36:00,090
as website.

1632
02:36:00,090 --> 02:36:08,610
It's a little different world than having a thousand photos on a website, now, you know, they can go on Google and kind of drill down if they want.

1633
02:36:09,230 --> 02:36:16,070
So we want to really make it nice and up to date and then come back to you at the end of next year and say, okay, this is what we found out.

1634
02:36:16,070 --> 02:36:18,910
This is what we think is going to take to run the film commission.

1635
02:36:20,570 --> 02:36:26,050
And this is maybe a couple people that have said that they might contract with us.

1636
02:36:26,050 --> 02:36:32,750
I do feel even though I know we are stretched to the max with our employees and myself

1637
02:36:32,750 --> 02:36:38,330
But I do feel it's a good place to have as part of the visitor's spirit as part of tourism and

1638
02:36:38,970 --> 02:36:44,890
Economic development for midter County. So that's what we're asking and if you have any questions

1639
02:36:45,490 --> 02:36:53,250
I just as time first move on and get back where we were before and it is so important

1640
02:36:53,250 --> 02:37:02,250
You know, we should get to a report, I mean, it brings in millions of dollars to our county and so we, I think this is a great move and I want to thank you

1641
02:37:02,910 --> 02:37:05,990
and your team. You got some say, Lenny?

1642
02:37:07,650 --> 02:37:11,450
You would say it then, but anyway, thank you so much so.

1643
02:37:11,450 --> 02:37:11,890
Thank you.

1644
02:37:12,410 --> 02:37:13,630
It's a positive move.

1645
02:37:14,450 --> 02:37:23,230
I think it's a good move. Everything I've seen come out of your office has always been top-notch and have all the confidence in you

1646
02:37:23,230 --> 02:37:32,850
in the world. I just as a there's a guy here at Mokoi that actually lives in district one that has

1647
02:37:32,850 --> 02:37:41,990
a production company. He just filmed and did a documentary on something to do on the

1648
02:37:41,990 --> 02:37:46,770
and sinking myths of the Titanic and shot a lot of it in

1649
02:37:46,770 --> 02:37:51,010
Madera County and no one had nothing from the film

1650
02:37:51,010 --> 02:37:54,670
commission knew about that, but it was on stars.

1651
02:37:56,310 --> 02:38:02,070
He brought Ed Asner here and I got to have lunch with Ed Asner.

1652
02:38:02,470 --> 02:38:05,810
Ed Asner was the captain of the Titanic in the movie.

1653
02:38:06,730 --> 02:38:11,430
So, he has a lot of connections to LA, so his name is Ryan Katzenberg.

1654
02:38:12,310 --> 02:38:14,490
Maybe a good...

1655
02:38:14,490 --> 02:38:15,910
I'll get to the...

1656
02:38:16,430 --> 02:38:22,230
KAT, ZE, in BACA, I think.

1657
02:38:22,370 --> 02:38:23,790
Yeah, you could shoot me as contact.

1658
02:38:24,350 --> 02:38:24,930
Yeah, I think.

1659
02:38:24,930 --> 02:38:34,710
But yeah, I think it's good to start working with him and seeing where we can take it, because we've got great places to shoot.

1660
02:38:34,710 --> 02:38:42,430
think we would like to utilize those. You know, we all loved that pretty outdoors was shot here,

1661
02:38:43,350 --> 02:38:48,870
but we need to we want to have another feature film or something. So we can show you

1662
02:38:48,870 --> 02:38:53,150
what-how we're progressing, you know- Oh, we've all already had the impact right.

1663
02:38:54,130 --> 02:38:57,610
Yeah everybody would have known that documentary, then filmed if we would have been.

1664
02:38:58,010 --> 02:39:04,390
We had one film right, you know lightning kind strike six six six six six six six six six six six six six six

1665
02:39:10,830 --> 02:39:28,270
I think there's a lot of the core organization that we can't help you, so I think you had the unique set of information.

1666
02:39:28,270 --> 02:39:31,790
of pardon me, I'm sorry, I gotta start over.

1667
02:39:32,910 --> 02:39:33,730
You're the right organization.

1668
02:39:34,210 --> 02:39:38,970
You have this with your location, your knowledge of the county.

1669
02:39:39,090 --> 02:39:42,730
You have a unique set of information that you can impart to

1670
02:39:42,730 --> 02:39:46,190
a filmist, too, so we'd be looking for the opportunity to film here.

1671
02:39:47,030 --> 02:39:50,850
We have a number of people, like as Brett said,

1672
02:39:51,470 --> 02:39:54,190
that do that here in this county.

1673
02:39:54,190 --> 02:40:01,270
we have one organization that filmed the documentary tapped out, and about water, and they

1674
02:40:01,270 --> 02:40:02,290
live up in Ocarst.

1675
02:40:02,670 --> 02:40:02,850
Oh, yeah.

1676
02:40:02,930 --> 02:40:03,450
The ALS.

1677
02:40:03,630 --> 02:40:03,770
Yeah.

1678
02:40:04,050 --> 02:40:04,810
That was great.

1679
02:40:04,810 --> 02:40:06,390
Great people.

1680
02:40:06,830 --> 02:40:07,650
We're working with the now.

1681
02:40:08,310 --> 02:40:09,590
That went national.

1682
02:40:10,030 --> 02:40:12,110
That was big with PBS, so.

1683
02:40:12,470 --> 02:40:15,310
So this is outside with Ray Gailler, which we helped to start.

1684
02:40:16,390 --> 02:40:18,170
And they do a fantastic job.

1685
02:40:18,690 --> 02:40:24,170
In fact, they've filmed a number of projects and utilized the region for that resource.

1686
02:40:24,170 --> 02:40:34,450
So, yeah, we have our own up in Cummings and we have some real, uh, some real hitters here, so I think you guys are the right organization to head this up.

1687
02:40:34,790 --> 02:40:35,590
Thank you.

1688
02:40:35,750 --> 02:40:38,010
Just off to the public, can you comment for the public?

1689
02:40:39,930 --> 02:40:40,910
That will bring it back.

1690
02:40:41,390 --> 02:40:42,470
Move to approve.

1691
02:40:42,690 --> 02:40:44,210
Say it.

1692
02:40:45,110 --> 02:40:45,750
Help for the votes.

1693
02:40:45,870 --> 02:40:46,690
Supervisor Rogers?

1694
02:40:46,930 --> 02:40:47,370
Yes.

1695
02:40:47,410 --> 02:40:48,070
Supervisor Wheeler.

1696
02:40:48,250 --> 02:40:48,570
Yes.

1697
02:40:48,690 --> 02:40:49,350
Supervisor Frazier?

1698
02:40:50,030 --> 02:40:50,690
Supervisor Rodriguez?

1699
02:40:50,890 --> 02:40:51,010
Yes.

1700
02:40:51,130 --> 02:40:52,810
We'll pass this for all one absent.

1701
02:40:52,810 --> 02:40:54,430
Thank you.

1702
02:40:54,510 --> 02:40:54,650
Thank you.

1703
02:40:54,650 --> 02:40:55,390
You're wrong.

1712
02:41:32,240 --> 02:41:32,720
Office.

1713
02:41:33,280 --> 02:41:37,620
With me today, and the table is Steve Van Flueff from Summit Garage and Ms. Loris later from

1714
02:41:37,620 --> 02:41:39,120
Enterprise Fleet Management.

1715
02:41:40,760 --> 02:41:45,000
The recommendations before you today is a combination of several months of analysis that

1716
02:41:45,000 --> 02:41:51,600
county staff and cooperation with Enterprise has done on our fleet program, county vehicles.

1717
02:41:51,600 --> 02:41:59,720
We have a brief presentation today to show you the results of that analysis and walk you through to recommendations, and we'll start with Steve.

1718
02:42:02,330 --> 02:42:04,290
Good afternoon, Supervisor Steve.

1719
02:42:04,670 --> 02:42:06,330
I'm off the loose central garage, Supervisor.

1720
02:42:07,550 --> 02:42:12,710
Central garage services and maintains sheriff vehicles and light duty vehicles, cars and pickup trucks.

1721
02:42:14,070 --> 02:42:17,270
Currently, 290 plus, give me a take a few.

1722
02:42:17,270 --> 02:42:24,750
We have 63 sheriffs, a 227 county vehicles of which 169 are from non-subvenant departments.

1723
02:42:25,930 --> 02:42:30,590
9 subvenant vehicles are charged a mileage rate that covers the cost of maintenance fuel

1724
02:42:30,590 --> 02:42:37,050
and depreciation, depreciation is charged on a per mile basis and depending on the vehicle

1725
02:42:37,050 --> 02:42:40,170
but typically it's depreciate of 130,000 miles.

1726
02:42:42,080 --> 02:42:48,200
Vehicles are replaced currently on a mileage target, typically about 130,000 miles, for

1727
02:42:48,200 --> 02:42:52,220
on sheriff vehicles that may take over 14 years before their place of mileage is reached.

1728
02:42:53,440 --> 02:42:58,120
The average age of the county fleet is currently about 15 years, which creates several challenges

1729
02:42:58,120 --> 02:42:58,820
for the county.

1730
02:43:00,700 --> 02:43:05,140
When I came over 10 years ago, we had vehicles over 30 years old.

1731
02:43:05,960 --> 02:43:09,880
And currently, when we were finished with our current round of replacements that we're doing

1732
02:43:09,880 --> 02:43:15,340
now, the oldest vehicle of fleet should be about 15 years, or every change has been dropping

1733
02:43:15,340 --> 02:43:20,140
even with the downturn when we only replaced like I think four cars one year.

1734
02:43:24,510 --> 02:43:29,850
So just to highlight some of the major challenges with an older average age of the fleet,

1735
02:43:30,050 --> 02:43:33,490
you have older cars in your system and that requires more resources to maintain.

1736
02:43:34,530 --> 02:43:39,290
Primarily because the typical warranty is 5 years or 60,000 which ever comes first.

1737
02:43:39,510 --> 02:43:42,690
So if you're averaging 15, you've got 10 years of the vehicle outside of warranty.

1738
02:43:43,710 --> 02:43:47,310
So anything significant breaks in the power train, that's a significant cost.

1739
02:43:48,610 --> 02:43:52,030
with an older fleet too, or paying a mileage penalty.

1740
02:43:52,750 --> 02:43:56,230
So an average 15-year-old car today is five miles per gallon,

1741
02:43:56,870 --> 02:43:59,830
left efficient than the current mid-sized vehicle today.

1742
02:44:00,690 --> 02:44:04,790
So equating that to the number of cars we have, non-share of,

1743
02:44:04,970 --> 02:44:07,790
that would amount to be 115,000,

1744
02:44:07,810 --> 02:44:10,950
based on the price of fuel that we paid today at 275.

1745
02:44:12,670 --> 02:44:15,390
It also creates a huge burden on the replacement fund,

1746
02:44:15,390 --> 02:44:17,390
even though the county, pace of appreciation,

1747
02:44:17,670 --> 02:44:20,790
has a replacement fund, our mileage rate

1748
02:44:20,790 --> 02:44:23,610
hasn't quite kept up with inflation and vehicle prices.

1749
02:44:26,190 --> 02:44:29,010
So just show you graphically, the blue line

1750
02:44:29,610 --> 02:44:32,110
is what a Chevy Malibu cost, in 15 years ago,

1751
02:44:32,230 --> 02:44:33,730
I want a Chevy Malibu cost today.

1752
02:44:34,650 --> 02:44:36,830
And what's presented there is the percentage increase

1753
02:44:36,830 --> 02:44:40,110
in the government price for a mid-size American car.

1754
02:44:41,010 --> 02:44:44,130
Our mileage rate is during that time, although it has increased,

1755
02:44:44,130 --> 02:44:51,310
It is another lower curve, so that gap between the two lines is essentially depreciation charges that

1756
02:44:51,310 --> 02:44:54,770
didn't go into the replacement fund, so we keep chasing and we keep keeping the vehicle

1757
02:44:54,770 --> 02:44:55,190
longer.

1758
02:44:55,190 --> 02:44:59,490
can only do one, two things, render car longer.

1759
02:45:00,110 --> 02:45:09,850
Or, you replace it with a smaller vehicle, which, which has happened, so the central garage evaluates, which placements and what makes sense, but that can be true for a hundred percent of the cars.

1760
02:45:10,290 --> 02:45:16,850
When you need an impolite, when you need a full size, you'll need a full size, and we need to make sure we collect, you know, we collect enough funds.

1761
02:45:18,910 --> 02:45:27,370
So, what's proposed today is to think outside the box and see how we can achieve those things without significant investment, without increasing mileage rates significantly higher.

1762
02:45:27,370 --> 02:45:34,750
So, the enterprise vehicle lease program is an opportunity for us to look at that model to

1763
02:45:34,750 --> 02:45:40,090
both decrease the average age of our fleet and get some of those replacements there and be

1764
02:45:40,090 --> 02:45:41,030
also more nimble.

1765
02:45:42,330 --> 02:45:47,090
One of the challenges with a current model is that if we spend the money in the car, we have

1766
02:45:47,090 --> 02:45:50,590
to keep it almost always 10 years or more.

1767
02:45:51,250 --> 02:45:55,930
What happens if the program contracts, then you're still stuck with that car, you're rotating

1768
02:45:55,930 --> 02:46:00,490
into a different program that may not necessarily need it because you have to keep the car.

1769
02:46:01,290 --> 02:46:05,250
With a vehicle, it's an average term of about five years that's the typical for a government

1770
02:46:05,250 --> 02:46:09,410
agencies, we're more nimble, and based on our current projections,

1771
02:46:11,510 --> 02:46:12,930
we feel that we can achieve

1772
02:46:12,930 --> 02:46:17,130
the same mileage rate we've done old program by using the fleet program.

1773
02:46:17,610 --> 02:46:22,230
So when we did our models for the mid-sized car, where our mileage rate needs to go to keep

1774
02:46:22,230 --> 02:46:24,770
with inflation is about 50 cents a mile.

1775
02:46:25,930 --> 02:46:27,970
With this program for the same car,

1776
02:46:28,290 --> 02:46:33,070
we're about 0.011 higher under this model.

1777
02:46:33,510 --> 02:46:35,850
But the benefits of it, we're going to,

1778
02:46:35,850 --> 02:46:39,410
we're going to probably be going to offset our fuel costs.

1779
02:46:39,890 --> 02:46:43,030
And of course, eventually our repair costs would go down.

1780
02:46:43,850 --> 02:46:46,410
I'm going to turn over to Laura to go over to Fleet

1781
02:46:46,410 --> 02:46:47,450
Program for Medical Price.

1782
02:46:48,450 --> 02:46:49,250
Hi, I'm Laura.

1783
02:46:49,330 --> 02:46:50,770
Thank you for having me today.

1784
02:46:51,270 --> 02:47:03,270
So as Joel and Steve book mentioned, we were working together to come up with a plan, and Steve and his team had done a really good job of decreasing the age of the fleet, but there's still some work that can be done, and that's kind of where we're going to come in and help.

1785
02:47:03,970 --> 02:47:14,310
And so like Joel had mentioned some of the main advantages of a program with us is as you reduce the age of the fleet, you'll see improved fuel efficiency, which Joel had mentioned today.

1786
02:47:14,310 --> 02:47:25,230
You're about five miles per gallon under what national averages are, and then again, as the fleet continues to decrease an age, you'll increase that number, which we'll inherently decrease your growth field spend.

1787
02:47:25,570 --> 02:47:30,610
You'll also see a reduction in overall maintenance expenses, as well as improved safety.

1788
02:47:30,830 --> 02:47:33,290
Of course, newer vehicles have better and better safety features.

1789
02:47:33,530 --> 02:47:39,450
So as you reduce the age of the fleet, you'll have safer vehicles, which helps with risk and liability and exposure.

1790
02:47:40,450 --> 02:47:44,430
You still get to leverage the government discounts that you have, and the nice thing is that through

1791
02:47:44,430 --> 02:47:48,930
enterprise, you can leverage those through all manufacturers, so we're not tied to one manufacturer.

1792
02:47:48,930 --> 02:47:53,510
We're going to look every year to ensure that we're showing you the lowest total cost of ownership vehicle,

1793
02:47:54,010 --> 02:47:57,550
and then help when it comes to right typing the vehicle, like Joel had mentioned,

1794
02:47:57,830 --> 02:48:00,910
what maybe was the right vehicle 10 years ago, may not be today.

1795
02:48:02,270 --> 02:48:07,150
So that's kind of where the vehicle recommendations come in, and then we're always going to look at again total cost of ownership.

1796
02:48:07,150 --> 02:48:12,050
So, not just the acquisition price, but what's the anticipated maintenance, what's the anticipated

1797
02:48:12,050 --> 02:48:17,250
mileage as far as miles per gallon, as well as the resale at the end, and then that's where

1798
02:48:17,250 --> 02:48:23,570
the recommendations come from. You will have us at your access for the disposal of the vehicles,

1799
02:48:23,790 --> 02:48:28,290
so when it does come time to dispose of the vehicle and a price will do that for you, which will

1800
02:48:28,290 --> 02:48:33,790
help increase the end value, which the county gets to keep the proceeds of, and then lastly,

1801
02:48:33,790 --> 02:48:38,130
and one of the biggest things is our dedicated local account representation.

1802
02:48:39,110 --> 02:48:43,730
So working with Steve and Joel, you know, we've come up with a plan for the original pilot program.

1803
02:48:44,230 --> 02:48:49,530
And then the goal is that for the next round we'll come back to get approval

1804
02:48:49,530 --> 02:48:54,630
and then at that point in time we'll be working together to ensure that we're making good recommendations that you're a year

1805
02:48:54,630 --> 02:48:56,910
and continue to turn the business of the county by.

1806
02:48:58,640 --> 02:49:05,260
So, in conclusion, just to wrap things up, so there's two recommendations for your board

1807
02:49:05,260 --> 02:49:08,180
to consider today, it's not up to resolutions.

1808
02:49:08,900 --> 02:49:13,160
The first solution is to approve an interlocal acquisition agreement.

1809
02:49:13,740 --> 02:49:20,200
What this really is a competitively bid consortium, or enterprises a winning bidder, so it allows

1810
02:49:20,200 --> 02:49:24,460
us to participate here and meet our competitive bid requirements being of an agency.

1811
02:49:25,000 --> 02:49:28,800
The second one is to adopt a solution to approve all the necessary equity

1812
02:49:28,800 --> 02:49:30,240
lease and maintenance agreements.

1813
02:49:31,920 --> 02:49:35,300
We need to approve it once, and when we need to replace a car, there would be an

1814
02:49:35,300 --> 02:49:38,860
adendum highlighting the numbers for, say, for each car.

1815
02:49:39,240 --> 02:49:45,400
Those cars, what we're proposing for the pilot project is 13 vehicles, and these are 13

1816
02:49:45,400 --> 02:49:49,440
vehicles that would have been in the replacement schedule for the next round.

1817
02:49:49,860 --> 02:49:52,780
Anyway, so we're proposing to replace the next round through a lease program.

1818
02:49:53,780 --> 02:50:00,420
Staff will then use that period to analyze and validate what our projections are, whether we

1819
02:50:00,420 --> 02:50:05,000
can really keep their mileage rates at or about the same, and while still reaping the

1820
02:50:05,000 --> 02:50:11,080
valid benefits of turning over cars faster and keeping the flage younger.

1821
02:50:11,900 --> 02:50:16,960
And then we'll return to your board with more recommendations if we're going to implement it

1822
02:50:16,960 --> 02:50:17,820
on a bigger scale.

1823
02:50:18,360 --> 02:50:23,140
So those are two of them in the next day and we're all three of us here for any questions you may have.

1824
02:50:30,180 --> 02:50:31,320
Yeah, we're.

1825
02:50:33,020 --> 02:50:42,240
So I do, I think this is a great program just going through it and where we can save the money.

1826
02:50:42,580 --> 02:50:48,960
I think really the decision point more comes down to keeping our fleet younger.

1827
02:50:48,960 --> 02:51:17,520
Steve, you guys do a great job, sometimes with things like chicken, who are, and some duct tape, keeping some of these together and keeping them road worthy, but beyond just the dollar savings, when we have our county staff out in these vehicles, we want to make sure that they are safe, we want to make sure that they are able to get home.

1828
02:51:17,520 --> 02:51:25,960
I think that's really the important part here I know and working with the deputy sheriffs.

1829
02:51:26,140 --> 02:51:34,500
You know, even just bringing down that miles on their cars of when we get rid of them.

1830
02:51:34,820 --> 02:51:44,960
That was a big deal to them because over a certain number of miles when you're at 85 miles an hour driving in your steering column is shaking.

1831
02:51:44,960 --> 02:51:49,660
And there's nothing, your shop you can do about some of those things.

1832
02:51:49,840 --> 02:51:52,960
That just kind of what happens over the life of a car.

1833
02:51:53,080 --> 02:51:58,840
So I think that's important to make sure that we're keeping our employees safe.

1834
02:51:59,380 --> 02:52:04,320
One of the questions I had, like on some of these programs, you know, there's a number

1835
02:52:04,320 --> 02:52:14,840
of miles per year that you can use of the car, you know, in our county where it's a lot

1836
02:52:14,840 --> 02:52:22,000
rural driving a lot of, you know, coming from the Valley Floor up to the mountains we've

1837
02:52:22,000 --> 02:52:27,960
shown on the vehicle miles traveled in rural areas are going to be much more. So I just want

1838
02:52:27,960 --> 02:52:33,700
to make sure that we're not hindered or limited in what we can do and we're just worried about

1839
02:52:33,700 --> 02:52:44,820
oh I can't drive up to, you know, to help that family up in the mountains or out in the

1840
02:52:44,820 --> 02:52:52,220
the if there is anything like that or what yeah I don't think that's going to be the issue.

1841
02:52:52,440 --> 02:52:58,140
The issue is getting enough mileage per year because the county as diverse as it is, the

1842
02:52:58,140 --> 02:53:03,260
departments have a need for vehicles for the personnel and they don't always utilize those

1843
02:53:03,260 --> 02:53:13,720
the number of miles in the past so we really need or evaluate not only the need for newer

1844
02:53:13,720 --> 02:53:17,720
have with a pull program that's more aggressive for just the occasional news.

1845
02:53:19,180 --> 02:53:23,200
So sometimes we have two large of a fleet and that's probably because we have to hang on

1846
02:53:23,200 --> 02:53:27,540
to them for 10 years right or get the full use out of them and they're just in there and maybe

1847
02:53:27,540 --> 02:53:32,600
there's not a use from at the time is that a little bit of that plus with the downturn with the

1848
02:53:32,600 --> 02:53:38,100
economic downturn we put off replacing cars for about three years and so we have kept them longer

1849
02:53:38,100 --> 02:53:46,860
And so this is a way that pilot program to evaluate not only our size of our fleet, but the age of our fleet, the usage and the dollar safe.

1850
02:53:47,120 --> 02:53:56,020
In terms of growing our fleet, if we need to in certain times and shrinking it, it is that fairly simple to do with this program.

1851
02:53:56,340 --> 02:54:02,740
Yeah, so to touch to on the mileage piece, the type of lease that we're talking about is an open end equity lease.

1852
02:54:02,740 --> 02:54:09,760
So there's no mileage limitations, it's heard what you think about what you think of like a personal least or something, it's very different than that.

1853
02:54:10,180 --> 02:54:17,200
So to Steve's point, what we've done is we've targeted what you're averaging today, and we're basing everything off of that.

1854
02:54:17,220 --> 02:54:24,260
If you go lower mileage, then essentially that's just going to mean that one maybe you hold the vehicle longer or two, maybe it's just worth more at the point in time that you sell it.

1855
02:54:24,260 --> 02:54:31,300
that's got a lower dominant reading and then as far as the fleet growing or shrinking in overall

1856
02:54:31,300 --> 02:54:35,820
size there's a lot of flexibility there. So the target is is that the counties at a break

1857
02:54:35,820 --> 02:54:42,100
even at 12 months if not sooner in many cases with the acquisition cost you can get you'll have

1858
02:54:42,100 --> 02:54:48,400
flexibility as soon as 12 months are again sooner. So there's lots of options for if you need to

1859
02:54:48,400 --> 02:54:53,280
come down in overall size or if you need to expand there's no issues there. And we can still

1860
02:54:53,280 --> 02:54:55,720
be the headguard of our work trucks if we need to.

1861
02:54:56,920 --> 02:54:57,320
Yes, you were right.

1862
02:54:57,580 --> 02:54:58,020
Yes, again.

1863
02:54:58,400 --> 02:55:02,080
So to, that's right, the program provides a lot of flexibility.

1864
02:55:02,260 --> 02:55:06,680
So I think the equity assumptions right now is based on 50,000 at year five.

1865
02:55:06,820 --> 02:55:13,320
So 10,000 a year on average are non-shared vehicles, average 9,163 per month.

1866
02:55:13,380 --> 02:55:14,720
Now somewhere higher, somewhere lower.

1867
02:55:14,960 --> 02:55:20,820
But as Laura had said, part of the service they provide is when they see these vehicles and

1868
02:55:20,820 --> 02:55:25,580
accumulating those smiles is they're going to initiate a conversation saying you'll get more

1869
02:55:25,580 --> 02:55:27,860
equity if you sell it now at your three.

1870
02:55:28,100 --> 02:55:34,600
Here's the deal you'll provide us with financial decision points and whether to cut out

1871
02:55:34,600 --> 02:55:36,820
of a part of the new program.

1872
02:55:38,420 --> 02:55:39,160
Supervisor Wheeler?

1873
02:55:39,740 --> 02:55:40,960
Yeah, thank you.

1874
02:55:41,560 --> 02:55:42,080
It's a great idea.

1875
02:55:42,280 --> 02:55:42,860
I think too.

1876
02:55:43,680 --> 02:55:46,480
What do we have to go out to a competitive bid with this?

1877
02:55:46,600 --> 02:55:48,680
I mean, nothing.

1878
02:55:49,080 --> 02:55:49,760
You lower, right?

1879
02:55:50,800 --> 02:56:02,660
Laura. Laura, okay. I wrote down Laura. Laura. Laura. I mean, I'm not, you know, I think you're doing a great job, but I just want to make sure when we have to go out to petting big for this and not.

1880
02:56:03,160 --> 02:56:07,560
Supervisor, the first resolution you're proving is participating into that interlocal agreement.

1881
02:56:08,000 --> 02:56:14,840
That actually is a, it's like a separate entity that does a competitive bid for these types of programs.

1882
02:56:14,840 --> 02:56:21,980
So we make sure that whoever we sign with goes to enter a competitive and they're to best deal.

1883
02:56:22,500 --> 02:56:25,860
It's similar to what we use for higher trucks.

1884
02:56:26,440 --> 02:56:32,060
There's an interlocal agency where governments, whether it's California, Texas, that participate,

1885
02:56:33,120 --> 02:56:40,940
gets the advantage of competitively, competitively big contract without having to redo the competitive big process.

1886
02:56:41,880 --> 02:56:44,820
That's the first resolution, that's recommended for today.

1887
02:56:45,140 --> 02:56:46,440
We got that done, I'm sure.

1888
02:56:47,080 --> 02:56:48,640
I know it's also as in Texas.

1889
02:56:50,280 --> 02:56:53,120
Is there any sales tax on rural cars or at least cars?

1890
02:56:54,340 --> 02:56:57,820
Yes, on the leases in the state of California pay a monthly use tax.

1891
02:56:58,040 --> 02:57:00,060
So it's based on the tax rate in County, Medira.

1892
02:57:00,360 --> 02:57:01,940
It's built monthly with the lease payment.

1893
02:57:01,960 --> 02:57:04,120
We should get that in Texas, don't get it.

1894
02:57:04,300 --> 02:57:04,520
That's right.

1895
02:57:04,880 --> 02:57:07,280
We get to tax taxes, don't get it.

1896
02:57:07,760 --> 02:57:10,420
Yeah, it's based on the County of Medira's tax rate.

1897
02:57:10,420 --> 02:57:11,780
So it's not going to Texas.

1898
02:57:11,960 --> 02:57:13,600
It's just that's where the cooperative is.

1899
02:57:13,800 --> 02:57:15,760
It's based, but yeah, it's great.

1900
02:57:15,880 --> 02:57:16,380
It's $100.

1901
02:57:18,960 --> 02:57:20,620
To get over our people already.

1902
02:57:22,700 --> 02:57:25,800
I'm shocked that California has attacked the Texas doesn't.

1903
02:57:25,820 --> 02:57:26,300
Yeah, I'm shocked.

1904
02:57:28,480 --> 02:57:28,960
Okay.

1905
02:57:30,860 --> 02:57:32,060
I think you got to put the public.

1906
02:57:34,600 --> 02:57:35,680
So come on, put the public.

1907
02:57:35,920 --> 02:57:36,820
Put the back of the board.

1908
02:57:37,360 --> 02:57:39,380
Move to move forward on it.

1909
02:57:39,480 --> 02:57:40,420
I want it to.

1910
02:57:40,660 --> 02:57:40,820
Second.

1911
02:57:43,260 --> 02:57:44,020
Call for the votes.

1912
02:57:44,120 --> 02:57:44,840
Supervisor Wheeler.

1913
02:57:44,840 --> 02:57:51,840
Supervisor Frazier, Supervisor Rogers, Supervisor Rodriguez, so passes for 0-1-Apson.

1914
02:57:54,580 --> 02:57:55,860
Thank you.

1915
02:57:56,200 --> 02:57:57,740
You go home here from Jackson's.

1916
02:57:57,980 --> 02:57:58,680
What's up? I did.

1917
02:57:59,580 --> 02:58:01,780
Your office is in there, okay.

1918
02:58:03,880 --> 02:58:08,420
Item 8C County Administration Department, Miss Management and Legal Services Division.

1919
02:58:08,420 --> 02:58:16,100
Introduction of an ordinance and many chapter 2.18.060, and chapter 2.18.200 of title 2 of the

1920
02:58:16,100 --> 02:58:20,960
Medare County Code pertaining to purchasing agent authority and informal bidding procedures.

1921
02:58:22,680 --> 02:58:24,900
Good afternoon, Jeremy County Administrative Office.

1922
02:58:25,380 --> 02:58:32,420
This item for you seeks to amend two specific county code sections dealing with the authority

1923
02:58:32,420 --> 02:58:33,540
of the purchasing agent.

1924
02:58:33,540 --> 02:58:40,240
The first one is affects what we commonly refer to as purchasing age agreements or PA agreements.

1925
02:58:41,340 --> 02:58:49,440
The second has to do with informal bidding procedures on specific public projects.

1926
02:58:50,240 --> 02:58:56,700
So with respect to PA agreements, there's, as your board knows, there's two types of contracts that we utilize here.

1927
02:58:56,700 --> 02:59:05,080
There's the board agreements that come before your board and approve weekly, you see those on the consent calendar primarily.

1928
02:59:05,620 --> 02:59:21,060
There is a second type of agreement that does not come before the board that is let through the purchasing agent office with review from County Council, the Auditor Controller and CAO.

1929
02:59:21,400 --> 02:59:25,000
And these are agreements that are limited to $10,000.

1930
02:59:25,000 --> 02:59:37,600
So that $10,000 authority mirrors the level of authority in government code section 25502.

1931
02:59:38,440 --> 02:59:46,560
When this ordinance was adopted in 1992, both the county ordinance and the statute had a $10,000 limit.

1932
02:59:47,320 --> 02:59:53,640
In the period times since, the statutory limit has increased to $50,000, while the county

1933
02:59:53,640 --> 02:59:56,420
limit has remained at $10,000.

1934
02:59:57,280 --> 02:59:59,660
So the proposed amendment.

1935
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:14,800
Would set the level at $50,000, equivalent to the statutory limit, as well as include some automatic increase language, so that when that level increases, so-to does the county ordinance.

1936
03:00:15,560 --> 03:00:22,680
It would still maintain the same level of review, it would still go through the county council, see a other controller.

1937
03:00:24,140 --> 03:00:31,660
If you are items coming before your board and will allow for departments to take advantage of a streamlined

1938
03:00:33,860 --> 03:00:40,660
expeditious process to get some of these contract service contracts is in place quickly.

1939
03:00:41,340 --> 03:00:47,880
The second proposed amendment has to do with informal bidding requirements, it's similar in

1940
03:00:47,880 --> 03:01:00,080
that this second code section contemplates particular public projects that are below a statutory

1941
03:01:00,080 --> 03:01:00,620
limit.

1942
03:01:00,800 --> 03:01:08,340
So the limit that the county ordinance provides for us $75,000 and again that is a limit

1943
03:01:08,340 --> 03:01:14,660
that used to be found in the public contract code on which the ordinance is based.

1944
03:01:14,660 --> 03:01:22,360
So in that time, the statutory level has also increased to $175,000, while the county says

1945
03:01:22,360 --> 03:01:30,120
remain $75,000, so the second proposed amendment would, again, set that county limit

1946
03:01:30,120 --> 03:01:36,800
equal to the statutory limit of $175,000, and also included that automatic escalator

1947
03:01:36,800 --> 03:01:39,800
language to capture any future increases.

1948
03:01:40,880 --> 03:01:42,480
And with that, I'm available for a question.

1949
03:01:42,480 --> 03:01:44,400
I know what you're recommended, 75,000.

1950
03:01:44,660 --> 03:01:48,600
We're currently a 75,000, we're recommending 175,000

1951
03:01:48,600 --> 03:01:50,620
to set an equal in the statutory limit.

1952
03:01:52,540 --> 03:01:53,000
Sounds good.

1953
03:01:53,200 --> 03:01:54,100
Thank you, we do.

1954
03:01:54,400 --> 03:01:55,220
Let's put traffic.

1955
03:02:00,660 --> 03:02:01,440
Can you get off to the public?

1956
03:02:02,640 --> 03:02:03,780
We're going to back.

1957
03:02:04,640 --> 03:02:05,180
We'll put through.

1958
03:02:05,360 --> 03:02:05,580
Second.

1959
03:02:07,420 --> 03:02:10,040
So kind of counsel to clarify today was the introduction.

1960
03:02:10,420 --> 03:02:12,660
And it will be heard again on December 19th.

1961
03:02:13,460 --> 03:02:13,900
Okay.

1962
03:02:14,200 --> 03:02:14,660
Thank you.

1963
03:02:14,660 --> 03:02:16,140
All right.

1964
03:02:16,320 --> 03:02:16,540
Okay.

1965
03:02:20,820 --> 03:02:23,880
But the motion is still proper for the introduction.

1966
03:02:24,940 --> 03:02:25,120
Okay.

1967
03:02:26,520 --> 03:02:31,040
It's a move to approve the introduction of the ordinance, and then it will come back and

1968
03:02:31,040 --> 03:02:31,780
wait for the first reading.

1969
03:02:32,040 --> 03:02:32,600
Yeah, that language.

1970
03:02:33,700 --> 03:02:35,000
It's not a public hearing.

1971
03:02:36,360 --> 03:02:42,200
It's a public item because we're out here on regular agenda, but it's not the type that

1972
03:02:42,200 --> 03:02:47,480
needs a notice public hearing in the newspaper as we did earlier, but I think the motion

1973
03:02:50,420 --> 03:03:06,500
I'm sorry, and the mover was Supervisor Rogers, Supervisor Weiler, Supervisor Frazier, Supervisor Red Regas, both passes for O, one absent.

1974
03:03:09,030 --> 03:03:15,130
Number nine pending legislation discussed supporter of post legislation presented by supervisors and staff.

1975
03:03:15,750 --> 03:03:17,010
I'm not aware of anything.

1976
03:03:18,290 --> 03:03:20,970
We have a letter under supervisors and staff reports.

1977
03:03:23,650 --> 03:03:24,450
I just got one.

1978
03:03:24,650 --> 03:03:25,290
I went to this year.

1979
03:03:25,310 --> 03:03:31,210
It tells their longevity award at the International Saturday night.

1980
03:03:32,250 --> 03:03:35,910
And I think we got people just as equal or better than they did.

1981
03:03:35,910 --> 03:03:41,810
And it was really nice seeing that today, the war, you know, 20 to 30 years like that.

1982
03:03:41,910 --> 03:03:42,570
It's just amazing.

1983
03:03:43,750 --> 03:03:46,610
So I think our organization has stepped up to the plate now.

1984
03:03:56,890 --> 03:03:58,730
No, I can't think of anything.

1985
03:03:59,230 --> 03:04:02,090
I know I had something on my mind, but my mind just went away.

1986
03:04:03,590 --> 03:04:03,690
Oh, yeah.

1987
03:04:04,290 --> 03:04:06,470
So I've got tomorrow.

1988
03:04:07,590 --> 03:04:09,370
The, um, stomaching river Conservancy.

1989
03:04:09,950 --> 03:04:12,210
I think less is going to read a letter.

1990
03:04:12,550 --> 03:04:15,070
Have we got in the, uh, the river west?

1991
03:04:15,090 --> 03:04:22,610
So I was forming, I'm just going to say Max is my alternate, I think we should just stepped in and go to that meeting.

1992
03:04:23,010 --> 03:04:24,150
I don't really know.

1993
03:04:24,530 --> 03:04:26,110
I'm getting a little sick.

1994
03:04:27,810 --> 03:04:29,070
You got too close to me.

1995
03:04:31,170 --> 03:04:32,670
That's going to be a rough one.

1996
03:04:33,430 --> 03:04:34,530
The parkway.

1997
03:04:35,750 --> 03:04:44,730
So I think we'll go to the 5B with one with some immediate timelines that

1998
03:04:44,730 --> 03:04:49,450
Then goes into alternative one, which is the street where you come in on the street.

1999
03:04:50,290 --> 03:04:54,670
Five of you will be coming off of Polynes, which I think is.

2000
03:04:54,890 --> 03:05:04,170
It's nice that not having to be the medera guy, and I can just do it without having to worry about all the people that are upset and just say, right?

2001
03:05:04,170 --> 03:05:08,430
It isn't really what I think is the best, but let's up.

2002
03:05:09,270 --> 03:05:10,870
It should have been done a long time ago.

2003
03:05:12,270 --> 03:05:13,910
Good afternoon, Board.

2004
03:05:14,630 --> 03:05:17,030
I'd love to develop a Chief of Staff to Supervisor Fasier.

2005
03:05:17,530 --> 03:05:24,110
Before you should have a draft letter to Brian Kelly, the Secretary of the California State Transportation Agency.

2006
03:05:24,250 --> 03:05:25,850
I don't know if I think that's okay.

2007
03:05:26,790 --> 03:05:31,950
The Saluteen Joint Powers Authority is asking for a direction from your board for a letter of support,

2008
03:05:33,130 --> 03:05:40,170
for grant applications seeking funding under the transit and intercity rail capital program from proof passenger rail service.

2009
03:05:40,170 --> 03:05:46,670
The use of the grant will go towards better access to Sacramento, funding to enable two daily

2010
03:05:46,670 --> 03:05:50,810
round trips to Sacramento, and the goal is to be able to get you to Sacramento in time

2011
03:05:50,810 --> 03:05:56,250
for early morning meetings, so we'll leave early, but you can probably, you know, avoid actually

2012
03:05:56,250 --> 03:05:57,350
driving the sack.

2013
03:05:58,110 --> 03:06:02,530
