1
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:30,770
Ladies and gentlemen, if you would please take your seats. I call the court, call the order to

2
00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:35,190
to the mayor of County Board of Supervisors for November 21st, 2017.

3
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:42,050
I will note from the record that all supervisors are present along with the clerk of the board.

4
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:49,030
The County Minister of Officer and the County Council.

5
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,540
The supervisor of the military would you leave us in the pledge today in a moment of silence for our emergency and military personnel.

6
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Is we seated?

7
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,500
Clerk of the board, do we have any introductions today?

8
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:45,660
Yes, Chair.

9
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:46,980
I supervise your can, has one.

10
00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:48,400
Thank you.

11
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Good morning.

12
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:53,940
Thank you.

13
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:02,560
We have gotten into a wonderful habit here of receiving money for the debt-wallifier victims

14
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120
through the Mariposa Community Foundation.

15
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:11,960
And today we are really pleased to welcome representatives from AT&T Corporation, Julie

16
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,940
Tone and Eric Johnson, who have come to tell us a little bit about what they're doing.

17
00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:21,340
and to present a check to the good people of the county here.

18
00:04:22,340 --> 00:04:27,100
So Julie, Eric, we also have Maryland Saunders here,

19
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:29,700
the President of the Community Foundation.

20
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,480
Thank you.

21
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:31,920
Welcome.

22
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,220
Thank you.

23
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:35,300
Thank you, Supervisors, and Chair.

24
00:04:35,540 --> 00:04:36,800
Thank you for having us here today.

25
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,080
My name is Julie Tone.

26
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,980
I'm Director of External Affairs for AT&T California.

27
00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:46,520
And I'm honored to be here today to present a $10,000 check to the Mariposa Community Foundation.

28
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,460
In July, the debt-wilder fire impacted 63 homes and more than 60 structures, and burn more than

29
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:55,800
80-1000 acres in Mariposa County.

30
00:04:56,340 --> 00:05:02,860
To keep our customers and our emergency responders connected, AT&T deployed a mobile cell

31
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:09,560
site called a satellite light truck or sat-cult, and to support wireless communications in

32
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,920
the affected areas.

33
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Today, AT&T is proud to announce, again, that we're making a $10,000 contribution to the

34
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Mariposa Community Foundation to help residents who are impacted by the debt wilder

35
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,620
fire here in Mariposa.

36
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,920
We hope that supporting Mariposa Community Foundation will help be affected families to begin

37
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,980
the rebuild their homes and lives.

38
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:36,520
And AT&T will continue to serve the California communities that are impacted by the fires.

39
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,200
And I do want to say that I'm honored to be here today and spent quite a bit of considerable

40
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,280
amount of time myself personally here during that particular fire in making sure that we're

41
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:54,020
able to get our mobile satellite trek to the designated first responders area and then

42
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:58,820
working with the folks in your community to help in some of the areas that were deemed for

43
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:01,900
residents to come for additional support.

44
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:06,040
So thank you again for allowing us to be here today and congratulations and I wish you all

45
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,820
Happy Thanksgiving.

46
00:06:07,140 --> 00:06:07,660
Thank you.

47
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,500
Thank you very much.

48
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:15,860
It's important to recognize that Julie has been the face of AT&T for a number of years

49
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:25,280
now and especially for the rural counties and has been ever present at the rural county

50
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:31,240
gatherings to make, because you know we're the final mile of all the communications that

51
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:40,180
We struggle to keep up with for our economies and for our students and our students, our citizens, and our students too.

52
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:49,900
And so we really do appreciate Julie the availability that we've had to you to get right to the important issues and appreciate a lot.

53
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,700
Thank you.

54
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,000
Thank you so much.

55
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,060
So with that said, Marilyn, on behalf of AT&T.

56
00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:04,540
Maryland has this process down. She's got the smile. She's got the smile. If she was just in a parade, she'd have that wave down too.

57
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Julie and AT&T. On behalf of the residents of Mariposa County, who all of them and even more so, those who were impacted by the debt wire fire.

58
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:23,540
We thank you for the $10,000 donation. It will go directly to those impacted by the fire.

59
00:07:23,540 --> 00:07:25,540
Thank you.

60
00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:27,760
All right.

61
00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:29,710
Yeah.

62
00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:32,190
It works well with having the board.

63
00:07:32,370 --> 00:07:32,650
Right.

64
00:07:33,270 --> 00:07:33,630
Why does it?

65
00:07:34,210 --> 00:07:34,630
Absolutely.

66
00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:37,750
If the board was, please join us for a photo opportunity.

67
00:08:30,740 --> 00:08:31,380
Can't

68
00:08:33,590 --> 00:08:37,370
thank you all. Thank you for that presentation. Thank you very much. Thank you.

69
00:08:37,790 --> 00:08:44,760
Supervisor Kim. The next item is approval of consent agenda. The consent agenda

70
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,160
consisted of items that generally use non-controversial and routine by the department if the board

71
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,880
wishes to discuss an item, it will be removed from the consent agenda and move to the end of

72
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,500
the time to agenda or at the chair's discretion, maybe taking in conjunction with another item

73
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:05,640
scheduled by the respected department. Otherwise, it can send agenda items are generally approved

74
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,540
in one single motion. This is a appropriate time for the public to advise the chair of any

75
00:09:10,540 --> 00:09:15,380
comments to the consent agenda or to request that the board consider removing an item from the

76
00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:25,880
consent agenda. Also for everyone's information, the following consent agenda items 1914 and 18 are a four-fist vote required for passage.

77
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:31,700
And with that, I will open up for public comment. Is there any public comment on the consent agenda today?

78
00:09:32,820 --> 00:09:36,140
See, now I will bring it back to the board. Supervisor Jones?

79
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,740
Yes, I would just like to make a comment on CA-11.

80
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,940
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question on CA-13.

81
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:07,500
All right, answer by the count.

82
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,660
Comment on two, please.

83
00:10:10,420 --> 00:10:14,160
All right, so by the count, please, comment on C-A-2.

84
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,520
I would have, it's probably a common question, so it's good to do it out here.

85
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,460
I couldn't, like the C-A-L and I were on different schedules yesterday and never crossed past.

86
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:30,340
So, down in what, the C-A-2 is the drought emergency declaration.

87
00:10:30,340 --> 00:10:39,440
I was wondering when we're done with that. These are mounting up. They are, and I actually have an answer this time.

88
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:46,060
So that's sweet. December 5th. So we've added to the agenda with working with OES.

89
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:55,800
We've been able to figure out that we don't need continuing local emergencies while we're in the recovery process.

90
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,320
some do for certain services but some do not.

91
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:05,220
So things like fires and floods really as soon as there's not an emergency anymore and we

92
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:11,580
have secured the CDA funds we can let the local emergency go and we continue with our recovery.

93
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:20,040
So December 5th you'll see on the agenda all but two of these local emergencies will be ended and we

94
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:26,220
we'll be down to the landslides on Highway 140 and the true mortality is continuing local emergencies.

95
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:31,920
It's always fun for me to point out the folks in other counties that we've got emergencies

96
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:38,980
for drought, flood, fire, rock slides, and the obvious question is when the locusts come.

97
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:43,780
I think that's great.

98
00:11:45,060 --> 00:11:46,220
Thank you.

99
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,600
Thank you very much.

100
00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:01,180
You know, I would just like to underline the importance of what kind of job Cara does for the

101
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:03,860
Arts Council and in bringing this forward.

102
00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:11,400
Because I don't think a lot of people know of all the different projects and everything that the

103
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:19,080
our council does, she does a great job and she is able to bring in a lot of money through

104
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:19,620
grants.

105
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,500
So thank you and keep up a good work.

106
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,080
Thank you, and supervisor, small com, C-A-13.

107
00:12:29,540 --> 00:12:31,840
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I apologize, Mike.

108
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:39,280
I didn't have a chance to connect with you beforehand, but as close as you are to the workload

109
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,680
in your department.

110
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:47,760
And I was hoping that you could give us a sense of what you are seeing in terms of increased

111
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:59,640
workload or other, I don't know, other information that you have regarding what's happening

112
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:08,820
as far as recovery from the debt-wilder fire in the context of folks trying to rebuild

113
00:13:08,820 --> 00:13:14,860
or relocate or whatever they're doing to bring their lives back together,

114
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:17,080
at least from the building department perspective.

115
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:18,700
Good morning.

116
00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:20,480
I'm like Kim's low building official.

117
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:22,300
Good question.

118
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Supervisor Smokham.

119
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:31,960
At the moment, we continue to assist all forms of forms of people that want to come in and rebuild the property.

120
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,260
Mobile home and stick built.

121
00:13:34,260 --> 00:13:42,260
of the process, well, that's fairly quickly, county-wise, the insurance companies take some

122
00:13:42,260 --> 00:13:42,580
time.

123
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:46,220
And that's, I've spent a lot of time talking to insurance companies.

124
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,840
At this point in time, we are receiving applications for mobile home installations.

125
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,500
We have received and I have processed a couple of stick-built home applications.

126
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,300
Unfortunately, the stick-built home applications have been with our local contractors.

127
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:03,400
It's been with the bigger ones from out of the area,

128
00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:07,340
Western homes and particular number of people seem to be going

129
00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:10,420
in that direction, but they, but we've

130
00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:13,820
have approved a couple of sets of plans and anticipating more.

131
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,300
We are in a position to be expedient and cost-wise.

132
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,560
We are very cost-effective in our permitting process.

133
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,940
So I think people that need to come to us providing

134
00:14:27,940 --> 00:14:30,120
for construction permits.

135
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,220
We can serve some economically and very quickly.

136
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,840
So I'm pleased with that.

137
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:37,400
We encourage everybody to come in.

138
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:38,980
We encourage everybody's questions.

139
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,780
And we're happy to help them anyway we can.

140
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:44,700
Thank you, Mike.

141
00:14:45,180 --> 00:14:51,040
You mentioned that there are two houses that for which permits

142
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640
have been, construction permits have been requested.

143
00:14:54,180 --> 00:14:57,220
Do you have a sense of how many mobile homes?

144
00:14:57,220 --> 00:14:59,680
So what's the ratio of...

145
00:15:02,020 --> 00:15:02,840
Thank you.

146
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:02,980
Thank you.

147
00:15:02,980 --> 00:15:05,280
I believe right at the moment, don't hold me too.

148
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:08,400
I think I have a proof of three mobile homes.

149
00:15:09,260 --> 00:15:16,850
If I had to guess the percentage of mobile homes to stick built would probably be 2-1,

150
00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:18,150
maybe 3-1.

151
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:20,930
A number of those that were damaged were mobile homes.

152
00:15:22,570 --> 00:15:24,270
That would be replaced with mobile homes.

153
00:15:25,050 --> 00:15:29,510
I do hear that maybe even on a stick built home or 2 might be replaced with a mobile home.

154
00:15:29,510 --> 00:15:34,790
I haven't verified that yet, but the mobile homes are fairly quick and easy, especially if

155
00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:38,370
you're going to use one and just get one up here and pop it up.

156
00:15:38,950 --> 00:15:39,350
Thank you, Mike.

157
00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:41,730
And I know you and your staff are working.

158
00:15:41,890 --> 00:15:49,510
I think with the planning department to permit the, I guess, temporary donation of the mobile homes.

159
00:15:49,510 --> 00:15:56,530
I guess there are v's that were provided by Plash of Wank, so I assume those are moving forward

160
00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:01,570
with a few of any hitches.

161
00:16:03,210 --> 00:16:12,890
On the recreation of vehicles that may be placed by permit and lieu of getting a permit for a house,

162
00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:18,910
which we do parallel that, there's no issues with taking in a number of permits on the recreation

163
00:16:18,910 --> 00:16:19,970
It'll be hickle side.

164
00:16:20,770 --> 00:16:27,390
The only minor glitch that has come up is that some folks have a hard time grasping the

165
00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:33,310
resolution and its intent of having a self-contained recreational vehicle being permitted

166
00:16:33,310 --> 00:16:39,090
and they want something more than that, perhaps a mini home or something like that, that

167
00:16:39,090 --> 00:16:48,890
the state doesn't recognize we just follow the state of California rules, but we've

168
00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:52,370
probably want to keep us easy as things you can get on your property and do it almost as

169
00:16:52,370 --> 00:16:55,890
painlessly if it's okay with planning and environmental health. We're good with it.

170
00:16:57,530 --> 00:17:04,330
Well, thank you very much for keeping that as smooth and painless as possible for the folks

171
00:17:04,330 --> 00:17:11,470
that are trying to recover. And thank you also to the folks who have been so actively engaged

172
00:17:11,470 --> 00:17:18,250
in making those RVDs available for use by our citizens. But thanks for keeping it all under

173
00:17:18,250 --> 00:17:20,830
You're welcome. Any other questions?

174
00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:27,190
Thank you, Mike. Any other questions or comments from the board?

175
00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:27,770
Yes.

176
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:36,840
If I can just know a possible correction to C.A. 10, which is the

177
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:47,900
agricultural commissioner item, I would like to request that we increase the

178
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,580
five, six, one, four, two, one line, two hundred dollars.

179
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,420
It looks like that one was a mid-its of a general fund contingency number would be

180
00:17:56,420 --> 00:18:00,440
one, nineteen, one, forty, eight, rather than three, four, eight.

181
00:18:02,450 --> 00:18:03,130
Yes, noted.

182
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:14,570
Okay.

183
00:18:15,870 --> 00:18:17,090
The question is your comments.

184
00:18:17,950 --> 00:18:18,930
So you know, I look for actions.

185
00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:19,830
Supervisor Jones.

186
00:18:21,470 --> 00:18:27,750
I would move the consent agenda as presented except for the correction on C-A-10,

187
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:32,550
changing that to 119148.

188
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Thank you.

189
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:37,640
Thank you.

190
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,500
Second, the motion.

191
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,700
We moved the seconded that we approved the consent agenda with the correction on

192
00:18:43,700 --> 00:18:46,760
C.A. 10 to 119148.

193
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:50,400
Any questions or comments before we proceed to vote?

194
00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:52,020
All those in favor say aye.

195
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,800
Opposite motion carries five votes.

196
00:18:55,020 --> 00:18:55,860
Thank you very much.

197
00:18:55,860 --> 00:19:04,380
We've been on to board presentations from human services, social services, providing the

198
00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:11,880
month of November 2017 as National Family Care Deerver and in-home health care providers

199
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,720
month.

200
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,580
Welcome, Bouchy.

201
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,300
Good morning.

202
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:23,920
Good morning.

203
00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:33,140
So, this is an important recognition of providers as they help us to keep our seniors and our

204
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:40,700
independent adults in their homes by providing support and help to them. That in turn

205
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:46,700
then keeps these folks in our county so they don't have to leave. We have a very limited

206
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:53,160
amount of assisted living facilities here in the county and so this keeps our residents here.

207
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:59,580
So it's important that we recognize the caregivers and in-home care providers that help them stay here.

208
00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:02,140
Thank you very much.

209
00:20:02,420 --> 00:20:02,770
Thank you.

210
00:20:03,860 --> 00:20:05,760
Any questions or comments from the Board?

211
00:20:06,140 --> 00:20:10,500
I would like to thank you for bringing this forward.

212
00:20:12,340 --> 00:20:20,040
As you said, key that we recognize the strains that we placed on those caregivers,

213
00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:27,780
I was at the event that I think human services worked with our director of community services

214
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:34,480
on regarding elder abuse and care, and the comments that were made by some of the caregivers

215
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:46,640
about the level of screen that develops over time were, they really touched me.

216
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:54,020
And I think one of the important messages, I guess I would communicate coming out of that,

217
00:20:54,020 --> 00:21:00,720
And I assume that it's one that you communicate on a regular basis is that caregivers

218
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:08,260
should be reaching out to other agencies for assistance when they're feeling overwhelmed

219
00:21:09,260 --> 00:21:16,140
or maxed out so that they don't expose themselves to unnecessary liability.

220
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,480
And the same goes for family members who take on that role.

221
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:45,040
It's important, it's critical to the folks who receive the care, but it is important that we as a board and our departments and other agencies ensure that the support that is needed by those caregivers is readily available because they play such an important role in our community.

222
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:47,560
So thank you once again for bringing it forward.

223
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,820
Thank you very much, Chair.

224
00:21:52,360 --> 00:21:54,300
And thank you so much for bringing this forward.

225
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:02,160
And I think that the people that do this do a great service to the community and to the people.

226
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:06,940
They have to have a special place in their heart to be able to do this.

227
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,900
And I think almost more so families need relief.

228
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:21,720
And I think these people help give the remaining family that period of time they need a break once in a while.

229
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:29,560
So they do a great service to the community and thank you again so much and thank the people for doing this job.

230
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,820
Thank you.

231
00:22:31,820 --> 00:23:01,200
And being home health giver for my father and now my mother, I know the strains and stresses that can be put on you by being in that position, but it is something that we do would love to, and those folks who are out there being caregivers and home health caregivers, they do a wonderful job and we're just blessed to have them.

232
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,060
So thank you for bringing this forward today.

233
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:06,160
Any other questions or comments?

234
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:07,620
I will open for a public comment.

235
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:09,400
Is there any public comment on this item?

236
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960
Terry Perisand, Mayor of Jose County Community Services Director.

237
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:29,900
And yes, it is a vital and instrumental tool for individuals dependent adults and

238
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:32,380
our seniors to be able to age in place.

239
00:23:32,380 --> 00:23:38,240
And without that, they would be placed a lot of them out of county.

240
00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:42,820
So it's great, and I wholeheartedly support this recognition.

241
00:23:43,620 --> 00:23:47,820
It is a 24-7 job for many families and respite.

242
00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:53,160
Should be part of that, and we work in collaboration with Area 12 to get that referral out,

243
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:57,980
and also human services to get those referrals out for families that are in need.

244
00:23:57,980 --> 00:24:05,000
Because by the time they come to us, the need is so great that we can't move fast enough.

245
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,200
So, wholeheartedly, support this proclamation.

246
00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:09,300
Thank you.

247
00:24:09,620 --> 00:24:10,160
Thank you, Terry.

248
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,860
Superb writer Smolka.

249
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:18,840
A question I should have asked for a sheet, but I'll ask you since you happen to be at the

250
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,180
mic.

251
00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:27,320
How, if someone is a caregiver that is feeling some strain needs a little help, where is

252
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:34,900
best place for them to go to look for information on how to on the on the resources that are available to help.

253
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:42,360
For locally we can provide those referrals. A lot of our go to referrals are to

254
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:47,860
area 12 because they do have funding for a respite and then Mariposa is one of the counties they do

255
00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:56,740
represent. Unfortunately it's sometimes hard to get a respite person that lives here in county that they

256
00:24:56,740 --> 00:25:01,620
a lot of times they're coming from out of county, but that is our go-to forum.

257
00:25:03,380 --> 00:25:06,560
But as a caregiver here at Marapos County, they just need to call you.

258
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:07,700
They can call us.

259
00:25:07,820 --> 00:25:15,080
They can call him and services the 211 number for the information out there.

260
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:18,900
Yes, great, thank you, good that you're there.

261
00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:20,280
Thank you.

262
00:25:23,380 --> 00:25:23,880
Thank you.

263
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,880
Is there any other public comment on this item?

264
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,380
See, none, I'll bring it back to the board for action.

265
00:25:28,620 --> 00:25:29,220
Chief Vice, welcome.

266
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,800
I move that we proclaim the month of November 2017 as National Family

267
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,460
Care giver and in-home care providers month.

268
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,220
Thank you, supervisor Jones.

269
00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:41,660
Now, I'll second that.

270
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,160
It has been moved in seconded that the item being approved as presented is

271
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,200
in the end of the comments or question before we proceed to vote.

272
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,140
All those of you who say hi, hi.

273
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:52,740
May.

274
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:54,300
The book carries five.

275
00:25:54,780 --> 00:25:55,180
How does he?

276
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:56,820
If he would join me at the staff desk.

277
00:25:57,260 --> 00:25:57,260
Thank

278
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,560
you.

279
00:26:17,820 --> 00:26:23,080
The Mariposa County Board of Supervisors proclaims the month of November 2017 as National

280
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,140
Family Care Givers and in-home care providers month.

281
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,360
In recognition of the dedication of family care and in-home care providers, we remind

282
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:35,280
our community of the importance of quality caregivers.

283
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,960
And that was passing unanimously today November 21, 2017.

284
00:27:05,730 --> 00:27:11,170
Moving on to the next item on the agenda that will be Department of Presentations.

285
00:27:11,470 --> 00:27:15,410
These are four items within your jurisdiction in the board amount of today's agenda.

286
00:27:17,270 --> 00:27:20,990
So I'll open up for Department of Presentations today.

287
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,900
Good morning, Bernie Quinn, California.

288
00:27:36,180 --> 00:27:39,640
I just want to remind everybody that SRA Burnman is still in place.

289
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:44,880
There was a brief moment where it was open and then it got closed again.

290
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:52,440
So I don't know when it's going to open, probably when we get some more weather systems

291
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,480
coming through.

292
00:27:54,940 --> 00:27:55,480
Thank you.

293
00:27:57,340 --> 00:27:57,540
Thank you.

294
00:27:57,580 --> 00:27:59,460
Thank you so very go put those brush bottles out.

295
00:27:59,580 --> 00:27:59,980
Thank you.

296
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Any other departmental presentations today?

297
00:28:12,550 --> 00:28:13,130
More than Tara?

298
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:16,830
Good morning, Tara Schiff, Economic Development Specialist.

299
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:22,730
I just wanted everybody to know that the Made and Mariposa Store will be open officially

300
00:28:22,730 --> 00:28:30,330
Friday, I'm Friday, Black Friday this Friday. The day after Thanksgiving, it is up and running

301
00:28:30,330 --> 00:28:37,050
now, but the official opening is Friday. We've already, from the moment we put items out,

302
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:44,450
they were jumping off the shelf. So it should be a great made of maraposa store this year.

303
00:28:44,550 --> 00:28:49,090
We're looking forward to everyone coming out shop local by made of maraposa.

304
00:28:49,090 --> 00:28:51,390
Thank you very much.

305
00:28:53,310 --> 00:28:54,250
What a great job.

306
00:28:54,750 --> 00:28:56,430
And it's made mayor poses working so well.

307
00:28:56,550 --> 00:28:58,190
It's a really happy day.

308
00:28:58,550 --> 00:29:00,050
That we've got to go with.

309
00:29:02,510 --> 00:29:04,070
Any other departmental presentations?

310
00:29:05,350 --> 00:29:08,530
Seeing none, we'll move on to public comment on honor agenda items.

311
00:29:09,290 --> 00:29:12,030
And these are for items within the jurisdiction of board on on.

312
00:29:12,050 --> 00:29:13,250
Not on today's agenda.

313
00:29:13,570 --> 00:29:16,850
Speaker, please limit your comments to five minutes and address the chair.

314
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:19,470
It's for any public comment today.

315
00:29:26,510 --> 00:29:28,130
Good morning, Board Dean Carlson,

316
00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:29,590
Mayor of the County Chamber of Commerce,

317
00:29:30,070 --> 00:29:31,670
and Visitor Center, Tara stole my thunder,

318
00:29:32,330 --> 00:29:34,090
and told you that the way to bear a positive Christmas

319
00:29:34,090 --> 00:29:37,150
store is opening officially on Black Friday.

320
00:29:39,290 --> 00:29:41,010
But that's not all that's happening.

321
00:29:41,310 --> 00:29:44,190
Also, the Shop Mayor of Posa for Christmas campaign

322
00:29:44,190 --> 00:29:45,930
begins at the same time.

323
00:29:46,830 --> 00:29:49,810
For every $10 you spend in Mayor of Posa County,

324
00:29:49,810 --> 00:29:51,650
you should bring your receipts to the Visitor Center,

325
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:55,290
and we have a huge number of prizes that will be giving away

326
00:29:55,290 --> 00:29:58,970
from the drawing that'll be held every Friday in the month of December.

327
00:29:59,190 --> 00:29:59,970
So there's four drawings.

328
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,460
And I know we have free, we have free propane, we have hotel room nights, we have dinners, we have all kinds of gifts and things.

329
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:18,280
All above $25. Also I wanted to thank you this morning for approving the county sponsorship of the Christmas parade.

330
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:28,800
This year on the Christmas parade will be held on December the 9th, and this is the 20th annual Christmas parade that has been happening.

331
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,300
So we are looking forward to that, and happy Thanksgiving.

332
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,820
Thank you.

333
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,080
Good morning, Pete.

334
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:42,860
Good morning, Board.

335
00:30:42,940 --> 00:30:45,340
Pete Judy District 4.

336
00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:46,740
Speaking of public comment.

337
00:30:48,180 --> 00:30:49,620
Seeing how it's Thanksgiving week,

338
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:54,040
I want to start off by thanking supervised supervisor

339
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,860
Miles Minotree for cutting edge reading glasses.

340
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,700
He sets the standards for leadership in the community

341
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:11,080
And while it's been difficult to improve on his,

342
00:31:18,330 --> 00:31:19,850
she says I can't wear them.

343
00:31:22,110 --> 00:31:25,470
And she's right because they're the wrong powers, so I'll have to grow into them.

344
00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:30,670
But I do appreciate Miles the standard which you've set for us.

345
00:31:30,810 --> 00:31:34,430
And I look forward to someday being able to use those.

346
00:31:35,670 --> 00:31:42,370
In the meantime, I want to take the opportunity last week, Miles reported out that he attended

347
00:31:42,370 --> 00:31:47,990
as well as Kevin Cannon on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, my daughter's sonning her

348
00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:49,030
softball commitment.

349
00:31:49,670 --> 00:31:52,990
Actually, it's an educational commitment to Bucknell University.

350
00:31:54,570 --> 00:31:59,330
There was a lot of folks at the school, I wanted to thank SLS, I also made over allowing

351
00:31:59,330 --> 00:32:04,030
the kids to attend that trace of Sanders who actually knew something about Bucknell.

352
00:32:04,030 --> 00:32:06,470
Well, you know, we'll see, and did this bill there.

353
00:32:06,490 --> 00:32:11,030
Her coaches, 20 Williams at the high school want that, and certainly the paper who's

354
00:32:11,030 --> 00:32:15,930
done a great job of covering kids' activities at the school, including that event.

355
00:32:17,390 --> 00:32:25,850
I would like to recognize that she is a product of this community, and, wow, she's

356
00:32:25,850 --> 00:32:30,110
worked hard at her athletic, she's worked harder, really at her academics.

357
00:32:30,110 --> 00:32:36,590
Anybody that plays sports in for the high school and there's no that they spend hours on buses and and driving to

358
00:32:36,590 --> 00:32:45,370
And for another parents drive in June for us, so she spent hours on our academics and she's an A plus student and she actually got into Williams College

359
00:32:46,690 --> 00:32:51,090
and Smith College in Massachusetts, which are high-wrecking schools, whims number one

360
00:32:51,810 --> 00:32:57,290
liberal arts college in the nation. She chills buck now because she's strived to be a D-1

361
00:32:57,290 --> 00:33:04,210
up off there, and unfortunately for Williams, I think, in Smith, or D3, so it was driving

362
00:33:04,210 --> 00:33:04,610
animal.

363
00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:06,070
But I think it is a product.

364
00:33:06,390 --> 00:33:11,410
When the universities look at kids, they really look at how they stand in their communities

365
00:33:12,330 --> 00:33:17,690
both academically and how they represent the youth of their community.

366
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:22,070
So, I think it's a good job for representing us.

367
00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:31,810
I thank you for a board for attending that, and I also think I gave my great public works

368
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:33,430
a couple of weeks ago, so I have to give them some credit.

369
00:33:33,690 --> 00:33:38,630
She started herself off a curve in the public works fields, and I'm making them maintain

370
00:33:38,630 --> 00:33:40,330
them, and they continue to this day.

371
00:33:40,770 --> 00:33:49,010
We have a great softball, a mayor posted softball for girls, is supported not only by the community

372
00:33:49,010 --> 00:33:53,890
members and coaches, including I believe the sheriff's wife is still coaching, but the public

373
00:33:53,890 --> 00:33:58,390
works in this community support those fields and to keep them in shape and girls get

374
00:33:58,390 --> 00:34:04,370
to not only play, but they get to become good citizens and learn how to get things done.

375
00:34:04,750 --> 00:34:10,730
I'll end by saying that my daughter has interest in politics, and she was very appreciative

376
00:34:10,730 --> 00:34:15,530
of fact that you took the time to recognize her, and she wants to be a attorney, which I

377
00:34:15,530 --> 00:34:24,170
also recognize with politicians now, they might need a lot of attorneys, so she is hopefully

378
00:34:24,170 --> 00:34:28,610
going to have a good job when she gets finished with law school.

379
00:34:28,870 --> 00:34:30,130
Thank you.

380
00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:32,650
Thank you.

381
00:34:39,540 --> 00:34:41,900
Good morning, Mr. Mayor.

382
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:49,000
Marvin Wells, your morning board, Renee, Steve, Bailey, and Mr. Chairman.

383
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,800
To often, we all come up here to complain or moan and groan about something hasn't grown right,

384
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:03,100
but I'm up here to talk about you, the board, for something was very special to my heart.

385
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:11,160
Before I forget it, I also want to thank Greg for supporting all of the VA people last week.

386
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:20,820
myself. Thank you for that. Steve, I know you did a lot of work with the MID. You know

387
00:35:20,820 --> 00:35:27,400
my background goes back in 1970s dealing with the MID. It was very difficult and I

388
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,800
convened you and I think Kevin you did a lot of work on it. I don't know Marcel you did

389
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:39,240
some. I don't know if you all put into it. But I know there's no possible way that you

390
00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:46,280
have really benefited by going to court as no Christian mind you could

391
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,800
don't want to suit no Christian but you've had to do what you did because you

392
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:56,320
wouldn't want to do anything for it but again I commend you it's been a long

393
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:02,340
time coming having been in the 70s and dealing with it I had to go through the

394
00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:07,100
same thing so I commend you all so anyhow with that I'd be thanks

395
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:12,260
Thank you. Thank you, Mark. Same to you.

396
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,740
Is there any other public comment today?

397
00:36:20,250 --> 00:36:22,330
See, now we'll move on to board information.

398
00:36:23,750 --> 00:36:25,510
Supervisor Jones, would you like to start?

399
00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:28,330
Thank you very much, Chair.

400
00:36:29,890 --> 00:36:31,170
I just want to like to make a comment.

401
00:36:31,770 --> 00:36:35,270
He ought to be extremely proud of your daughter.

402
00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:42,990
Um, my hats off to you, to start from the family, and it works its way down, you did a great job.

403
00:36:43,950 --> 00:36:46,030
And good luck with it, with her future.

404
00:36:46,610 --> 00:36:49,410
And she won't need it like she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's learning.

405
00:36:51,330 --> 00:36:56,050
And, uh, also Bernie, I lit my fires when they were legal, they're still burning.

406
00:36:56,850 --> 00:37:00,050
And they will probably continue to burn for I don't know how long.

407
00:37:00,990 --> 00:37:03,130
Uh, so I hope that's, uh, okay.

408
00:37:04,650 --> 00:37:09,030
I see a nod, yes, so I take that as an approval.

409
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:16,440
That's the end on the 15th.

410
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,920
I have a teleconference with a bill chat from a C-SAC.

411
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,380
Great discussion.

412
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,460
I'm looking forward to meeting coming up.

413
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,160
Thank you.

414
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:31,820
I think we'll accomplish a lot.

415
00:37:31,820 --> 00:37:57,920
Down in the 16th, I had a meeting with Supervisor Can myself and the public works about the land fill in the future of it and how we're going to need to make some changes and some decisions we're going to need to be making I think Todd is doing excellent job along with Mike there so keep up the good work. It's a it's a messy job.

416
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,740
So, but anyway, that will have more on that coming up.

417
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,940
Same day I had a meeting with planning, building, environmental health, about a constituent

418
00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:13,460
who wanted to enlarge its service station.

419
00:38:15,580 --> 00:38:22,540
You know, it always makes me happy when constituents and want to do a project and they want to do it right.

420
00:38:22,540 --> 00:38:30,680
But I really appreciate the different department that has come together in making sure and getting everything up front.

421
00:38:31,820 --> 00:38:35,520
So the person knows exactly the steps they need to do.

422
00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:44,040
Because a gas station, when you're talking about the different entities in the science and stuff like that,

423
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:46,940
to have to read it, it's no fun.

424
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:58,120
That night, I went to planning meeting in Modesto, that project coming right along,

425
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:02,540
then I was

426
00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:06,140
piloting up wood on the 17th to get ready to burn.

427
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:15,380
So anyway, we'll have a, and that's one thing, and I think all over Mayor Posa, we're

428
00:39:15,380 --> 00:39:21,200
I have a lot of wood that people are going to be burning, working with environmental health

429
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,640
and this is something that came up last night in our meeting.

430
00:39:25,620 --> 00:39:32,400
And that is, Cal Fire can lift the burn restrictions, but we still need to get our

431
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,840
permit through environmental health.

432
00:39:34,980 --> 00:39:41,040
Sometimes that's a misconception that once they lift it, environmental health is out of it,

433
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,120
know we still need to get a permits from environmental health.

434
00:39:46,220 --> 00:39:54,140
Last night we had a really healthy community meeting with a proposing a air curtain burner

435
00:39:54,140 --> 00:39:55,780
in really hill.

436
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:03,040
I'd like to thank all of the department heads that came to that.

437
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:16,280
Mike, back there, I'd like to thank you for coming over, Sarah Williams, let's see Dave Conway,

438
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:23,100
and then all of Cal Fire, I really appreciate your support on this.

439
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:27,100
And I think it was a good meeting in the long run.

440
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:32,220
Lots of times, there's a lot of information, a wrong information that gets put out there.

441
00:40:32,220 --> 00:40:35,500
After you have a meeting like this,

442
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:45,460
when the rumors and the misinformation gets answered,

443
00:40:47,140 --> 00:40:49,480
and the people are respectful,

444
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:56,240
the conclusion I think was probably 90,

445
00:40:56,240 --> 00:41:04,820
some percent will, has agreed that we do need something like this to help speed up the burning

446
00:41:04,820 --> 00:41:10,560
process and have a cleaner air because the air can get very polluted in that base and

447
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:16,200
there, you may have everybody's burning. So anyway, with that, I hope everybody has a happy

448
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:21,740
Thanksgiving and don't eat too much. Thank you. Thank you.

449
00:41:23,950 --> 00:41:24,290
Thank you.

450
00:41:29,290 --> 00:41:31,390
Just wanted to respond to

451
00:41:31,390 --> 00:41:36,250
I hope that those classes weren't a result of the injury to your finger.

452
00:41:38,530 --> 00:41:43,590
Should be something you can see clearly out of working in your yard.

453
00:41:44,330 --> 00:41:45,130
But I think that's great.

454
00:41:45,270 --> 00:41:49,390
It only took 12 months for my cutting edge since the style to get Joe.

455
00:41:51,010 --> 00:41:51,510
All right.

456
00:41:52,310 --> 00:42:00,630
Last week, Wednesday, I too had a phone conversation with Bill Cheat from CSAC regarding

457
00:42:00,630 --> 00:42:06,490
our the boards up coming strategic planning retreat in December. It was a good conversation.

458
00:42:07,330 --> 00:42:08,770
I look forward to that retreat.

459
00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:14,650
Wednesday evening, the Alliance Club had its annual Thanksgiving dinner.

460
00:42:15,210 --> 00:42:19,570
And I thought I would just tell the Alliance Club here just for a second.

461
00:42:20,830 --> 00:42:27,870
As most of this community is aware, the Alliance Club has an annual one major annual fundraiser,

462
00:42:27,870 --> 00:42:34,810
the crab feed out at the fairgrounds. And last year, in February, we served over 300 dinners

463
00:42:34,810 --> 00:42:41,530
at that event. And through the proceeds, raise at that event, we were able to donate

464
00:42:41,530 --> 00:42:50,230
we the Lions Club was able to donate over $15,000 to local organizations such as scholarships,

465
00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:57,910
troops, youth baseball, eye exams, and glasses, high school grad night, youth soccer,

466
00:42:58,130 --> 00:43:05,670
youth basketball, youth football, little league, FFA, sponsor the Labor Day parade, and

467
00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:13,030
we also sponsor the tree lighting ceremony with free hot dogs, hot chocolate, popcorn, as

468
00:43:13,030 --> 00:43:14,290
well as other local charities.

469
00:43:14,970 --> 00:43:20,990
This year, as Dan mentioned, along with the parade on December 9th, is also the tree lighting

470
00:43:20,990 --> 00:43:27,470
at the Fairgrounds, and at the Fairgrounds, the courthouse, and I would encourage everybody

471
00:43:27,470 --> 00:43:32,490
to come out this year. The tree was planted by the Lions Club. I'm not sure how many years

472
00:43:32,490 --> 00:43:39,410
ago, but it is grown to such a height that we can no longer get to the top of it to decorate

473
00:43:39,410 --> 00:43:45,330
it. So we're going to be coming up with a new idea this year to decorate the Christmas tree

474
00:43:45,950 --> 00:43:52,790
and that'll be a surprise for December 9th. So thank you Lyons Club for all you do for

475
00:43:52,790 --> 00:44:01,130
Mariposa County. Thursday the 16th woke up to an inch and a half a rain and my rain gauge that

476
00:44:01,130 --> 00:44:06,870
was pretty good. I thought they'll talk to supervisor Jones who reports he had four inches up and

477
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:13,530
really hill, so it was a good start to our rain season, I hope we get much, much more.

478
00:44:15,250 --> 00:44:21,410
On my way into town, I stopped by the Fairgrounds, introduced myself to the AmeriCorps group.

479
00:44:22,510 --> 00:44:29,330
On rainy days, I guess Brian had a range to have the group out there, helping him with some

480
00:44:29,330 --> 00:44:35,030
some chores at the Fairgrounds, and they were working hard, sanding down all the wood-top tables

481
00:44:35,030 --> 00:44:41,450
and refinishing them, but a nice group, young people, had a nice conversation with their

482
00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:42,510
leader, Mark,

483
00:44:45,310 --> 00:44:49,350
and I guess I'll take this opportunity to mention it.

484
00:44:49,350 --> 00:44:54,590
I had talked to him about possibly bringing his group, introducing him to the board.

485
00:44:54,830 --> 00:44:57,970
He said that's something that's within their instructional preview.

486
00:44:58,590 --> 00:44:59,970
I know you're handling that.

487
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,480
It might be nice if there's a rainy Tuesday. Those folks could come by and say, hey, nice group of kids, working hard over there. And that was neat.

488
00:45:12,260 --> 00:45:18,500
So then Friday, the 17th, I was down in Merced attending another CSAT class.

489
00:45:18,580 --> 00:45:29,180
Class was title leading with emotional intelligence. Again, I enjoy going to those CSAT classes and one more.

490
00:45:29,180 --> 00:45:33,560
And I've completed that curriculum, so that's exciting.

491
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,380
I've been talked about the Saturday Burn Confusion.

492
00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:44,640
I was really glad I looked at my Facebook business before I actually lit my pile

493
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,760
and saw that the Burn Band was put back in place.

494
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,120
Yesterday I met with some constituents and discussed issues

495
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,000
and their respective neighborhoods caught up on a bunch of reading and paperwork

496
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
and that was my week, so I have. Thank you.

497
00:46:02,780 --> 00:46:04,220
Thank you, Supervisor Mentor Tray.

498
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:12,100
I was out feeding the cattle and horses this morning before it came into the board meeting.

499
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,100
And I noticed that the field area is really jumping out of the ground.

500
00:46:15,780 --> 00:46:20,060
It's great to see that this hat grass comes up of course as it starts stabilizing the soil,

501
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,980
particularly out in the debt water fire area.

502
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:43,500
I want to give a shout out to the public works through the road crew, they were out there Friday afternoon, cleaning up after the storm, and there was a big slide of the burn material across the Aki Giltrode, blocked up three separate culverts left to pick.

503
00:46:43,500 --> 00:46:50,900
I was really interesting looking at, yeah, he goes to life like a black bathtub, bringing all the way down the creek where this water had flowed.

504
00:46:52,820 --> 00:46:58,600
So, you know, committing the road crews for being out there, getting those clean up and getting the culverts to walk back out.

505
00:46:59,300 --> 00:47:08,980
So, it's obvious that as we get more rain, particularly in these areas where the shemies was completely burned off, we're going to have some sliding issues.

506
00:47:08,980 --> 00:47:14,960
Not necessarily with soil, but certainly the burn material flows very easily.

507
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,480
Looking outside and watching, I'm painting the courthouse and another shout out to public works

508
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,280
for all that work getting that ready.

509
00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:25,240
Courthouse is looking a lot better with a new paint.

510
00:47:27,240 --> 00:47:32,380
And getting rid of that lead paint finally after all these years, it won't be an issue into

511
00:47:32,380 --> 00:47:32,920
the future.

512
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,840
So, thank you for doing that.

513
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:46,060
Also, let folks know that are asking for a target shooting ban ordinance during fire

514
00:47:46,060 --> 00:47:46,700
season.

515
00:47:47,980 --> 00:47:52,420
I have been working on it, the Council has been working on it diligently, gathering all

516
00:47:52,420 --> 00:47:56,780
the information to bring back to the board, so that we have all the information and

517
00:47:56,780 --> 00:48:01,540
can look at all options in regard to target shooting banning target shooting on public

518
00:48:01,540 --> 00:48:01,900
land.

519
00:48:01,900 --> 00:48:04,060
So that is being discussed.

520
00:48:04,340 --> 00:48:06,560
It has been worked on, but we want to get it right.

521
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,700
So it takes a little bit of time, and we are getting there.

522
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:18,520
I also had a telephone conference with Bill Chieett from C-SAC, in regard

523
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,500
to the strategic planning retreat.

524
00:48:21,260 --> 00:48:22,740
It's great to talk to Bill.

525
00:48:25,180 --> 00:48:31,520
He's really knows his stuff, and it's great to have him as our facilitator

526
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:36,040
for that planning retreat that's coming up.

527
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,420
They also did the Miracles Accounting Update,

528
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,220
which is all on the Miracles Accounting website.

529
00:48:40,540 --> 00:48:43,420
That's www.miraclesaccounting.org.

530
00:48:45,380 --> 00:48:47,520
On the 16th, the Travel to Sonora

531
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,600
for a Central Sierra Economic Development District Meeting.

532
00:48:51,180 --> 00:48:52,580
We had an extent of agenda.

533
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,500
This is mother load job training

534
00:48:55,500 --> 00:49:01,420
has taken on these, the Seds as the sponsoring group.

535
00:49:02,140 --> 00:49:05,120
It's really growing and expanding rapidly.

536
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,080
We're looking at more grant funding opportunities for the district.

537
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,280
We're working on bringing Amador County back into the district.

538
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,300
So there are some really good things coming out of the said.

539
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,580
We did write a letter of support there.

540
00:49:23,580 --> 00:49:32,360
the Sierra Northern Railroad that travels from Oakdale to, well, all the way up to Sonora.

541
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:37,540
We did send a letter support for that project, there are a flight for a grant.

542
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:43,720
Right now, a lot of our logs are going over to the mills over in 12 am counting, and it'll

543
00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:47,200
be a lot more efficient if they could ship the lumber out by railroad, but the railroad

544
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:52,020
isn't the road bit is in such a poor condition they can pull five cars at 10 miles an

545
00:49:52,520 --> 00:50:00,080
which is not, it's, the trucks move so much faster. So with this grant, if they get the grant,

546
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:06,940
they'll be able to move the lumber out a lot faster, more efficiently, and hopefully with the

547
00:50:06,940 --> 00:50:11,400
tree mortality issue, we can get more trees moved out, and you know, turn it in the lumber,

548
00:50:11,940 --> 00:50:18,580
which of course, sequester's at carbon in the lumber, in your house, and it's a good way to store

549
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,580
So, anyway, we're supporting that.

550
00:50:22,980 --> 00:50:27,200
A lot of other good things were, of course, in Calabers County,

551
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:33,060
they opened up a one-stop place where you had mother-lo-job training,

552
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,400
sick and severe economic development districts.

553
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:37,000
They're Chamber of Commerce.

554
00:50:37,580 --> 00:50:40,740
All of these different agencies were together on economic development.

555
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,780
They've got them in one building there on Highway 49,

556
00:50:43,780 --> 00:50:46,780
and Main Street in Santa Dress.

557
00:50:47,220 --> 00:50:49,420
They're working on doing that also in

558
00:50:53,110 --> 00:50:54,530
Tual Me County, Mariposa County.

559
00:50:55,390 --> 00:50:57,090
Also, so we're looking at that,

560
00:50:57,130 --> 00:50:59,350
you know, also what could work great in Mariposa County

561
00:50:59,350 --> 00:51:02,270
would be having the made Mariposa store

562
00:51:02,270 --> 00:51:03,750
in that building also.

563
00:51:04,110 --> 00:51:07,590
So we're looking at a place where you have one stop shot

564
00:51:07,590 --> 00:51:11,210
for employers and businesses to get information and help.

565
00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:14,290
And that's, it's really moving forward

566
00:51:14,290 --> 00:51:18,010
and it's great to be working on that committee.

567
00:51:19,910 --> 00:51:26,870
Did the agenda review yesterday had a meeting with Chuvankatari, and a fire survivor

568
00:51:27,410 --> 00:51:35,250
from over on Live Oak Road, trying to get her set up with some type of proper living accommodations,

569
00:51:36,170 --> 00:51:40,650
also had a meeting with public works in regard to the dead man, Great Branch on White

570
00:51:40,650 --> 00:51:45,450
rock road, hopefully within a week or two, we're going to have that bridge project finished.

571
00:51:46,830 --> 00:51:49,470
So in a couple of years, then we can replace it with a new bridge.

572
00:51:50,490 --> 00:51:52,850
So that's kind of how it works sometimes.

573
00:51:54,370 --> 00:52:02,610
This afternoon, myself and Supervisor Gones and the CAO, we'll be having a meeting at the Ag

574
00:52:02,610 --> 00:52:04,910
part with the personnel down there.

575
00:52:05,070 --> 00:52:12,570
Coming up on the 2nd to the 24th, I will be up north, north of Port Bragg, on the coast

576
00:52:12,570 --> 00:52:14,270
for a few days celebrating Thanksgiving.

577
00:52:14,670 --> 00:52:16,610
We have so many things to be thankful for.

578
00:52:17,590 --> 00:52:22,350
And then when I get back, basically he'll be heading up to Sacramento for the C-SAC conference,

579
00:52:23,570 --> 00:52:26,190
which I will represent Mariposa County as your director.

580
00:52:27,030 --> 00:52:30,070
And coming up on December 1st,

581
00:52:30,070 --> 00:52:37,150
We will have the Kathy Valley schoolhouse tree lighting there at the old and at the K Hall

582
00:52:37,150 --> 00:52:43,070
They're at the Kathy Valley Park at 330 so that's my report for this afternoon

583
00:52:43,070 --> 00:52:45,730
They're this morning supervisor small come.

584
00:52:48,450 --> 00:52:50,350
Thank you, Mr. Chair

585
00:52:51,410 --> 00:52:54,930
Let's see the AmeriCorps project

586
00:52:54,930 --> 00:52:59,010
I've been continuing to spend time on the coordination

587
00:52:59,010 --> 00:53:02,950
The mayor posted a facelift project is pretty much complete.

588
00:53:02,990 --> 00:53:05,910
I drove by there this morning on my way into the office,

589
00:53:07,030 --> 00:53:14,870
and the Visitor Center Garden is set up so that it looks nice,

590
00:53:15,410 --> 00:53:19,370
and hopefully no weeds will appear.

591
00:53:19,630 --> 00:53:21,630
We'll be keeping an eye on that.

592
00:53:21,630 --> 00:53:39,750
And there's a master gardeners that will be working on designing some plant planting for that area that will probably not occur until the fall of next year, but the grounds are ready to go.

593
00:53:40,130 --> 00:53:49,770
And I want to thank public works for their support in terms of providing equipment and picking up some of the debris and keeping things moving.

594
00:53:49,770 --> 00:53:54,430
and also the Board of Supervisors for approving public work support.

595
00:53:55,050 --> 00:53:56,310
The Fairgrounds, yes.

596
00:53:56,850 --> 00:54:06,350
They washed, sanded, varnished 60 tables in two days and Brian advised that they have another 50 left.

597
00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:09,850
He's hoping they'll be at least a couple more rainy days.

598
00:54:10,570 --> 00:54:14,650
They've been working on BLM land, including working on trails.

599
00:54:14,650 --> 00:54:29,670
And excuse me, today I think they're out doing archaeological site restoration and let's see, next Monday, I believe they will start working on private land.

600
00:54:30,250 --> 00:54:36,510
The Marapos County RCD and NRCS folks have been working on pulling together a list of projects.

601
00:54:36,510 --> 00:54:43,870
on Yakigolch, Hunter's Valley, Bear Valley, Mount Bullion, and the 140 corridor, so they will be very busy.

602
00:54:44,230 --> 00:55:04,570
Unfortunately, one of the team members had an appendicitis attack over the weekend, and so she was down, yes, no, Sunday, having surgery, so she's okay, but obviously a bit worse for the experience.

603
00:55:04,570 --> 00:55:24,630
we have seven people going out to Kathy's Valley for Thanksgiving and then a couple others that will either be at our house or in lush meadows for Thanksgiving day and let's see so they've done a lot of good

604
00:55:24,630 --> 00:55:31,010
They're enthusiastic, they're very appreciative of folks in our community who have been

605
00:55:31,010 --> 00:55:36,890
very welcoming and expressed appreciation for the work that they're doing here.

606
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:44,750
On tree mortality, we had the the Maraposa County Tree Mortality Disaster mitigation committee

607
00:55:44,750 --> 00:55:49,850
meeting last week and we had a very good conversation.

608
00:55:49,850 --> 00:55:58,630
And we are fairly concerned about making sure that Maraposa is positioned to successfully

609
00:55:58,630 --> 00:56:04,810
compete for some of the $220 million that will be available through Cal Fire.

610
00:56:05,290 --> 00:56:10,910
The guidelines are not out yet, but we know that there will be an emphasis on large landscape

611
00:56:10,910 --> 00:56:11,710
projects.

612
00:56:12,010 --> 00:56:19,490
So we've identified three potential projects that we will coordinate among the different partner

613
00:56:19,490 --> 00:56:40,230
agencies who are part of the committee to identify resources, define the scope of the projects and be ready to satisfy the requirements contained in the guidelines so that again we can compete successfully for some of that money.

614
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:49,750
that one of the key issues on the 200 million of the 220 million relates to the satisfying

615
00:56:49,750 --> 00:57:00,190
the requirements that there be no, that it either be zero or, or there be a reduction

616
00:57:00,190 --> 00:57:05,080
in greenhouse gas emissions is a result of the projects that's a requirement that the

617
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:12,340
B has imposed California Air Resources Board, and so we will be working on trying to figure

618
00:57:12,340 --> 00:57:18,180
out how we can satisfy that with respect to these three projects that we've identified.

619
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:27,080
Let's see, I also participated in the regulations working group conversation last Friday.

620
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:35,280
The, it appears that a problem that was identified by our public works department, where folks

621
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:41,420
are, fellas are coming in and leaving trees by the side of the road, and thereby creating

622
00:57:41,420 --> 00:57:53,420
issues with damaging culverts and also anticipating issues when we have to plow snow, it appears

623
00:57:53,420 --> 00:57:56,680
that other counties are concerned about that same issue.

624
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:05,760
We appear to have resulted at least initially here locally, but it is spreading northward

625
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:12,500
to all of the county also asked for information in connection with that, and so I'll be coming

626
00:58:12,500 --> 00:58:21,510
back to the public works department to better define the issue and hopefully develop a consensus

627
00:58:21,510 --> 00:58:29,010
to what other counties are seeing so that we are prepared should we run into the same problem here again.

628
00:58:30,870 --> 00:58:37,570
Let's see, also I participated in the Bioenergy Working Group, a lot of conversation about a fuel availability study.

629
00:58:37,970 --> 00:58:49,990
The key issue is obviously the cost of removing dead trees and other vegetative material off of public and private lands.

630
00:58:49,990 --> 00:58:59,710
But the key questions relate to the continued viability of the large scale biomass facilities,

631
00:58:59,930 --> 00:59:06,670
especially given the increasing targets of material that they need to remove from high hazard zones.

632
00:59:07,670 --> 00:59:17,930
And it also, that competition for body biomass will affect eventually the smaller scale facilities.

633
00:59:17,930 --> 00:59:34,110
Smaller, there has been significant progress with respect to the operating environment for small scale facilities that PG&E is currently negotiating three power purchase agreements with three separate small scale biomass facilities.

634
00:59:34,110 --> 00:59:43,330
the price is incredibly high. It's I think it's over 19 cents I want to say

635
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:49,530
19.9 cents per kilowatt hour which is it's a very high price and I'm

636
00:59:49,530 --> 00:59:54,030
not sure it's sustainable especially over the long term I think it could work

637
00:59:54,030 --> 00:59:59,850
to the detriment of the small scale biomass industry but certainly it

638
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:22,660
Would be a windfall in terms of profitability for a Maraposa biomass project here in our county, and these other three organizations that are currently negotiating with PG&E, and in the insurance subgroup, there's been a lot of communication after the our last teleconference.

639
01:00:22,660 --> 01:00:30,040
It appears that there is interest on the part of at least a couple major carriers in talking

640
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,620
with us about how they might better assess risk.

641
01:00:33,940 --> 01:00:35,400
So that is real progress.

642
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:44,860
Let's see, after the board meeting on Tuesday, night or afternoon, I attended the Elport

643
01:00:44,860 --> 01:00:49,560
Health Planning Advisory Committee meeting, that is the last meeting of this year.

644
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,360
We won't meet again until February.

645
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:59,060
But, and it was a long meeting, but we covered a number of issues, including trash removal,

646
01:01:00,180 --> 01:01:06,920
which I will be coming back to public works department again, because there is some, we

647
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:13,720
need to clarify what the part service is responsible for versus what the county may be responsible

648
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,540
for or may offer in terms of service.

649
01:01:16,540 --> 01:01:23,620
We talked about Foresta Road that is squarely in the hands of our Public Works Department, working with Caltrans.

650
01:01:24,580 --> 01:01:26,560
And we also talked about dispersed camping.

651
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,020
There has been some progress.

652
01:01:28,660 --> 01:01:39,040
But the primary areas of focus right now are the areas across the road from Yosemite View Lodge and Incline Road.

653
01:01:39,940 --> 01:01:45,060
Also, Spencer, I'm talking about a memorandum of understanding between your submitting

654
01:01:45,060 --> 01:01:46,760
national park in the county.

655
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,900
The committee is more or less signed off on it, and no, I will be looking for to

656
01:01:52,900 --> 01:01:59,500
county staff for some updates and review of the proposed demo you before we send it

657
01:01:59,500 --> 01:02:07,700
off to the park service for their review, and we also talked about as we often, as I often

658
01:02:07,700 --> 01:02:15,480
I'm sure other supervisors do as well, we talked about removal of vegetative material in

659
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,840
order to reduce fire risk and I want to thank the FireSafe Council for their willingness

660
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:24,680
to coordinate with the all-portell community on a chipping program, they're going to

661
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:34,440
come out to the February meeting and set up some plans as to how we can ensure that taking

662
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:43,080
Any equipment out there is a good use of the fire safe councils funds, but also to ensure

663
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:48,580
that as much material is removed as is possible because folks in Elportel just like every

664
01:02:48,580 --> 01:02:54,300
other community here in Mariposa County are very concerned about the fire risk.

665
01:02:55,100 --> 01:03:02,200
Also wanted to let everyone know that I did speak with the project manager on the Ferguson

666
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:05,840
slide project, you may recall the last update.

667
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:15,480
CalTrans had installed a fair amount of measuring instrumentation and they collected a good deal

668
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:21,680
of data and then provided that not only to their internal of geotechnical engineers and

669
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:30,100
geologists but also they had contracted with an external expert on geology and construction

670
01:03:30,100 --> 01:03:41,300
of rock sheds and bridges in that type of terrain, and the expert has concluded that the

671
01:03:41,300 --> 01:03:50,740
rock shed concept is viable in that location. So, Caltrans is moving forward with several,

672
01:03:50,740 --> 01:03:57,780
I think, at this point, outside engineering firms to develop prototype anchors that are

673
01:03:57,780 --> 01:04:05,860
necessary to connect the rock shed or fix the rock shed to the slope, to the material

674
01:04:05,860 --> 01:04:10,420
contained in the slope. I understand they'll need quite a few of those anchors and they'll

675
01:04:10,420 --> 01:04:18,640
go about 100 feet into the hillside. So that's a bit of an engineering challenge. But the

676
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:27,920
difficult challenge for CalTrans is, is assuring themselves that they have sufficient mitigation

677
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:34,860
measures in place that they can be confident that workers who are engaged in the construction

678
01:04:34,860 --> 01:04:37,140
of the Rockshed can be safe.

679
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:46,360
So they've been conducting an internal value analysis now for some months and that is now,

680
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:53,260
That conversation is now going up through the Caltrans Management Hierarchy, and we expect

681
01:04:53,260 --> 01:04:59,940
that in the next couple months we'll have some sense of whether they will move forward

682
01:04:59,940 --> 01:05:02,120
and is so win.

683
01:05:02,500 --> 01:05:09,540
So hopefully I'll be providing an update on that again in the next month or two with hopefully

684
01:05:09,540 --> 01:05:18,080
some positive news. In any case, the construction is unlikely to occur until probably late

685
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,440
next year or early the following year.

686
01:05:22,300 --> 01:05:29,220
Let's see. I also want to mention, on last Tuesday afternoon, the board met with an outside

687
01:05:29,220 --> 01:05:36,340
consultant in Sarah Williams, a planning department director, to talk about our GP, General

688
01:05:36,340 --> 01:05:43,520
implementation strategy we have a hundred and ninety implementation measures as part of the general plan and

689
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:52,280
the question is what can we do to support the primary objectives that we have here in the county

690
01:05:53,080 --> 01:06:01,240
and also make progress on those implementation measures. It was a good conversation, but I just want to bring this up because

691
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:06,180
I think it's important that anyone in the public who has any interest in the health of our

692
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,520
county be involved in that conversation.

693
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:17,880
So there will be another conversation along these same lines before the planning commission

694
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:26,200
in December, another one in January with the Board of Supervisors, and then a third one

695
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:34,420
February, I think it's scheduled for Valentine's Day, February 14th of next year, that will

696
01:06:34,420 --> 01:06:38,420
involve the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, and hopefully a good number

697
01:06:38,420 --> 01:06:43,700
of folks from the public. So once again, I encourage you to, if you were at all interested,

698
01:06:44,740 --> 01:06:52,740
in any aspect of how this county may move forward, that you tap into that. And I also talked to

699
01:06:52,740 --> 01:07:00,900
of CSAC and I want to wish everyone happy Thanksgiving and the other thing that I wanted to mention

700
01:07:00,900 --> 01:07:08,600
is that Heritage House will be holding its annual fundraiser on November 30th at Charles Street

701
01:07:09,980 --> 01:07:17,340
and for the sake of the many the relatively large number of hungry and homeless folks we have

702
01:07:17,340 --> 01:07:24,300
in Maraposa County. I encourage you if it all possible to attend that fundraiser. That's it for me.

703
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:34,220
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you chair. Last Wednesday was the RCRC executive committee meeting

704
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:46,140
and fortunately we here don't participate with our auditors of our auditor. The firms that we

705
01:07:46,140 --> 01:07:51,660
to come in necessarily to audit our, our, our, our auditors work.

706
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:57,640
Like, you've heard much about Golden State finance authority recently.

707
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:04,600
That's the organization that brought the 163,000 for the debt-waller victims.

708
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:08,140
Well, that organization is a subsidiary of our CRC.

709
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,620
It makes real money and funds most of our CRC's activities.

710
01:08:12,620 --> 01:08:22,920
Well, the executive committee in that regard has to sit with the auditors and participate in the audit.

711
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:28,840
So it was quite the delightful long day last.

712
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:36,700
My head hurt when it was done and only exceeded by the four and a half hour drive back from Sacramento that day.

713
01:08:37,180 --> 01:08:40,100
So, that was over a half hour?

714
01:08:40,340 --> 01:08:40,780
Yes.

715
01:08:41,740 --> 01:08:41,940
Yes.

716
01:08:42,260 --> 01:08:45,940
It was an hour and a half from the top of Modesto to the bottom of Modesto.

717
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:48,820
But that's another story and it's over.

718
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,100
The Golden State Finance sort of used somewhat challenge.

719
01:08:56,300 --> 01:09:00,560
We sat a million dollars aside in our budget at the beginning of the year, which is a sort of a new thing.

720
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:08,120
They used to invest in multi-family housing and low-income mortgages and things like that.

721
01:09:08,380 --> 01:09:12,920
We set a million aside for disasters, frankly.

722
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:18,680
And as you know, in our 163 was the only money that had come out of that.

723
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:24,980
And as you know, we had done Calvary, Lake County, and then Maraposa on our trying to do

724
01:09:24,980 --> 01:09:32,420
Trinity at the 2,500 level, and then of course we had 5,300 homes or more over in

725
01:09:32,420 --> 01:09:40,000
Napa, Sonoma, and so that's sort of blew that formula out of the water because that

726
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:47,240
5,500 homes would be well over $13 million, so it's just one of those things where

727
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:54,860
we're going to try to help them more on a gross basis than maybe the individual

728
01:09:54,860 --> 01:09:58,860
homes of that last, you know, just spat if terrible fires.

729
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:08,900
Thursday morning, first, the unmet needs council, which is a conglomeration of the

730
01:10:08,900 --> 01:10:15,640
Methodist Church and the charities that it represents the rotary has come together with, again,

731
01:10:15,740 --> 01:10:21,560
Debt Waller Relief Money, the real estate group in town is tapped into substantial money

732
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:29,000
like 40 grand or so from the national real estate or state real estate foundation, and then of

733
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:36,740
course the human services and a community foundation all meet together to make sure that hopefully

734
01:10:36,740 --> 01:10:42,530
no one's who has real needs is falling through the cracks and then to make sure that we're

735
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:50,060
making the most of all of our monies in a coordinated fashion, actually committed to buying

736
01:10:50,660 --> 01:11:03,400
as many as 20 I believe mobile homes and that might be RVs that can be used by folks

737
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,720
frankly when you can it first it was like well what are we going to do with these

738
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:12,900
in three or four years and and I say you know if if for $5,000 we can get

739
01:11:12,900 --> 01:11:18,780
someone a house while they build a house for three years throw it away you know

740
01:11:18,780 --> 01:11:26,300
that's a deal. And so a lot of folks are really stepping up as far as making these things

741
01:11:26,300 --> 01:11:32,900
available and different organizations with some new ones and some used ones and it's

742
01:11:33,740 --> 01:11:37,480
it's in any of us we've talked many times a lot of these folks have no hope of building

743
01:11:37,480 --> 01:11:46,080
and so we're trying to get them in a warm shelter. Also that day is suppose Jones mentioned

744
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:53,940
landfill update? I mean, that is a constantly evolving business that I must say public

745
01:11:53,940 --> 01:11:58,420
works staff that we have right now, even though he's not paying attention, as we speak,

746
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:10,200
will really give us a lot of confidence on the management of the landfill now and the management

747
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:15,840
into the future, how we invest our money, how we evolve that thing is a big, big deal for

748
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:22,720
this county and I do appreciate the staff that you hired and the management that you're given

749
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:23,500
them.

750
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:28,520
I think they're serving us well and it will be back before this board on a regular basis.

751
01:12:29,780 --> 01:12:39,200
Thursday night the community foundation and its normal business gave out five grants like

752
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:47,060
does every year, not five, but normally we're fussing with $7,8,9, 10,000 dollars, and they gave

753
01:12:47,060 --> 01:12:58,300
two to the Chamber of Commerce for helping their growth and their advertisement of Mariposa

754
01:12:58,300 --> 01:13:04,820
with some signage and things, two to the Fire Safe Council, and one of those in particular

755
01:13:04,820 --> 01:13:14,200
is we've had numerous smoke alarm initiatives. It amazes me how many homes we clearly still have

756
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:19,040
without smoke alarms in the fire safe council has a new initiative on that. We are able to help

757
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:27,860
them with that. And one to the public radio station KPRX here to increase their reach of their signal

758
01:13:28,860 --> 01:13:31,400
So that's good stuff too.

759
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:40,020
Friday I was supposed to talk to the our facilitator for our strategic planning, but it was

760
01:13:40,020 --> 01:13:46,000
the day or last week when all my phone lines chose to go down at my house and that was

761
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:51,620
the day Sierra Tellcame spent three and a half hours there trying to fix my phone lines

762
01:13:51,620 --> 01:13:52,260
at the house.

763
01:13:52,260 --> 01:13:58,560
Bill and I will also catch up at the CSAT conference next week, and I'll just jump to that.

764
01:13:59,140 --> 01:14:04,960
It's pretty darn exciting to see, you know, we always say little mayor post-Akhani, we're

765
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:09,380
going to probably quit saying that because mayor post-Akhani is assumed a much bigger role

766
01:14:09,380 --> 01:14:14,980
in these statewide organizations over the last three, four years, and I'm really excited

767
01:14:14,980 --> 01:14:15,480
about it.

768
01:14:15,480 --> 01:14:23,460
I believe Supervisor Minitray is going to be recognized for his graduation from what's

769
01:14:23,460 --> 01:14:32,160
it called, my Supervisor's Institute, which is no small undertaking and our board clerk

770
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:39,120
Renee will be recognized as, I believe, Vice President this year of the statewide board

771
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:59,800
Association, again a long-standing organization that's very much, very well reviewed as far as their value and their expertise to the boards of supervisors and I believe.

772
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:08,580
We may also be recognized for some more accomplishment that we will talk about after.

773
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:18,040
So it's, uh, mayor poses taking a, uh, gallon to, oh my goodness, but that's excellent.

774
01:15:18,700 --> 01:15:26,720
So we'll, we'll, um, we'll be busy and the be very proud, frankly, uh, from, from us just

775
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:35,840
increasingly showing up at and being a part of C-SAC-TOS being a integral part and benefiting

776
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:42,160
greatly from what C-SAC, RCRC and other state organizations on their subsidiaries have to offer.

777
01:15:42,700 --> 01:15:50,180
It's just great for Mayor Poseca County and it gets us, I have long said there's been millions

778
01:15:50,180 --> 01:15:55,200
of dollars flying right over this county because we, one, we didn't know about them too.

779
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,200
we didn't take the time to go after them.

780
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,860
Three, it was too much work, we were too busy.

781
01:16:00,660 --> 01:16:05,660
We have staff now that and elected that are absolutely

782
01:16:05,660 --> 01:16:09,980
ingrained, and I look at that peat, and Mike, and Doug,

783
01:16:10,480 --> 01:16:15,220
and most obviously human services who are totally connected.

784
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,080
And this county can be proud of them.

785
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:19,940
And I'm not just blowing smoke here.

786
01:16:20,060 --> 01:16:23,100
They're doing a great job, and bring in real money to this county.

787
01:16:23,100 --> 01:16:30,220
So, I'm happy to debate anybody if they have a differing opinion on that.

788
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:38,640
Yesterday, met with rotary staff who are planning for a major major veterans' recognition

789
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:45,600
at the Fairgrounds on March 29 next year, that apparently is Vietnam veterans' day, but

790
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:50,380
they want to expand that into a county-wide veterans' recognition.

791
01:16:50,380 --> 01:17:05,460
It'll be coming before the board here for our endorsement not that they need our insurance or anything, but they want to rent our buses from the senior center to be able to drive up to Greeley Hill, Colterville and bring folks to the event.

792
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:15,540
So, really trying to be a first class event, they have a retired general coming to speak and a couple others and it'll be a big feed and a nice big party.

793
01:17:15,540 --> 01:17:18,780
So March 29th of next year.

794
01:17:19,220 --> 01:17:27,140
And then I really appreciate the playing director and county council meeting with me and some of the owners in the parking district.

795
01:17:28,100 --> 01:17:31,880
It's obviously we'll get more challenging before it gets settled.

796
01:17:32,540 --> 01:17:43,900
But when a 30 year agreement ends and then floats and you've got to do a new one and the laws under which you did the original window and exist anymore and all the original owners.

797
01:17:43,900 --> 01:17:52,040
but a few are gone. Don't own anymore. It's one of the more challenging things. It's not

798
01:17:52,040 --> 01:18:01,080
as challenging as MID, but it's going on a bit. So I look forward to completing that

799
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,840
before this current term is done. Thank you, Chair.

800
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,960
Okay. Thank you.

801
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:21,560
The next item on the agenda is close session board supervisors close session public employee performance evaluation position of employee and a review county administrative officer is ready to public comment on this item.

802
01:18:27,290 --> 01:18:29,910
morning board, P-Duty, two-provision officer.

803
01:18:32,210 --> 01:18:33,650
My youngest daughter, 16.

804
01:18:34,010 --> 01:18:39,110
I just went through a process of looking for a used car.

805
01:18:39,690 --> 01:18:41,150
Anybody that's looked for used cars,

806
01:18:41,230 --> 01:18:43,510
realizes that there's books, publications,

807
01:18:43,870 --> 01:18:46,070
Kelly Food Book, and I think it's a range of

808
01:18:46,070 --> 01:18:47,410
how much something is worth

809
01:18:47,410 --> 01:18:49,770
because when you're looking for a vehicle,

810
01:18:50,190 --> 01:18:51,320
they come in different conditions.

811
01:18:52,410 --> 01:18:53,010
And why not?

812
01:18:53,430 --> 01:18:54,810
So, I found one.

813
01:18:54,810 --> 01:19:00,910
You know, she wanted a Mustang, despite what I've tried to tell her for, well, we won't go into the Ford thing.

814
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:11,660
But I found one that was in really good shape, and it was on the high end of what that, you know, those price ranges should be.

815
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:21,400
And talking to the guys, you know, you had all the records on it and he says, take it for two days, take it for a test drive, you know, or test drive, take it two days, you know, drive around.

816
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,580
I'm so convinced that you'll pay the high price.

817
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,300
So we did, it was a good, you know, everything he said about it was true.

818
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,440
I still think, you know, it's a range here.

819
01:19:31,580 --> 01:19:33,120
I can get it for a lower price, right?

820
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:38,880
Go back to the guy, and he goes, Pete, I get, you know,

821
01:19:39,580 --> 01:19:41,420
what you're getting at here.

822
01:19:41,420 --> 01:19:43,420
But he goes, you get what you pay for sometimes.

823
01:19:43,740 --> 01:19:45,880
And if you don't buy it, somebody else will.

824
01:19:46,540 --> 01:19:47,280
And he was right.

825
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:49,260
So we bought the vehicle.

826
01:19:49,260 --> 01:19:55,780
Now, that being said, what's that have to do with her, say, oh, he's low mileage,

827
01:20:02,370 --> 01:20:03,110
he's

828
01:20:03,110 --> 01:20:04,210
pretty good shade,

829
01:20:06,930 --> 01:20:10,310
but more to the point is that we've taken it for a test drive.

830
01:20:11,430 --> 01:20:18,750
And my fear is that when I look at the salary range that you've set for the sale, 130 to 150,

831
01:20:18,750 --> 01:20:31,570
That's $2,210 lower than the compensation study that we did in this county for almost four years ago.

832
01:20:32,710 --> 01:20:41,170
At that time, the 152 number was in the mid-range of what an independent study said the position was worth.

833
01:20:41,170 --> 01:20:48,250
And my fear is, much like my stupidity, and going in low-trained, low-ball, this guy was

834
01:20:48,250 --> 01:20:55,610
giving me a fairly decent price for the vehicle I was looking at, is that somebody else

835
01:20:55,610 --> 01:21:02,090
will come along and pay the price that should be paid for that vehicle,

836
01:21:04,990 --> 01:21:06,170
but to my point

837
01:21:06,170 --> 01:21:16,250
is that we, I think we've been lucky in finding a CAO, low mileage or otherwise, in providing

838
01:21:16,250 --> 01:21:21,790
leadership to this county and that while you're wrecking, you know, I know today probably

839
01:21:21,790 --> 01:21:27,750
not talking, sorry I don't know, being pointed by the superior court, I'm not pretty

840
01:21:27,750 --> 01:21:34,850
to your annual discussions with folks, but I am here to advocate that we have something

841
01:21:34,850 --> 01:21:43,010
value and we need to pay the price for that leadership and whatnot. So I'm taking the opportunity

842
01:21:43,010 --> 01:21:50,510
to remind the board that four years ago, three years ago, that salary was recommended to be

843
01:21:50,510 --> 01:21:56,070
at 152 something and I don't even know what the current CEO is making but I know it's not 152

844
01:21:56,070 --> 01:22:04,690
because your high range is 150 and so I would urge you to recognize the leadership he's done but

845
01:22:04,690 --> 01:22:11,490
also keep in mind that, in order to keep something of value, sometimes you've got to pay the price and you get what you pay for.

846
01:22:11,690 --> 01:22:13,110
So thank you.

847
01:22:13,170 --> 01:22:13,510
Thank you.

848
01:22:15,980 --> 01:22:16,180
No.

849
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:26,320
I just want to clarify, remind the board that there will be no discussion of salary in close

850
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:26,760
section.

851
01:22:28,940 --> 01:22:29,680
Thank you.

852
01:22:30,100 --> 01:22:31,360
That's persona to law.

853
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:33,140
Thank you.

854
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:36,700
Is there any other public comment on item?

855
01:22:39,900 --> 01:22:45,560
We will take up this matter in conjunction with the close session that's coming up for the

856
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,080
IHSS so they can be concurrent.

857
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:54,020
So with that, we will move on to the clerk of the board to read in the announcement.

858
01:22:55,540 --> 01:22:55,900
Thank you, Chair.

859
01:22:56,360 --> 01:23:01,540
In accordance with Government Code Section 504952.3, it is here by announced that the Maraposa County

860
01:23:01,540 --> 01:23:06,080
Board of Supervisors will be sitting either simultaneously or seriously as the in-home

861
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:10,680
supportive services, IHSS, Public Authority Board of Marcos Accounting, and that they received

862
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,560
no additional compensation for same.

863
01:23:13,860 --> 01:23:14,940
Thank you.

864
01:23:16,260 --> 01:23:20,060
Is there any public comment within the jurisdiction of the in-home health support services

865
01:23:20,060 --> 01:23:22,620
public authority and not on today's agenda?

866
01:23:23,340 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker, please let me hear time to five minutes, and please address the chair.

867
01:23:28,340 --> 01:23:29,260
Is there any public comment?

868
01:23:33,260 --> 01:23:36,720
I think you've really pinched your finger in those glasses, didn't you?

869
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:37,720
That's what you did.

870
01:23:39,220 --> 01:23:42,560
Seeing that, I will bring it back to the IHSS Public Authority.

871
01:23:43,820 --> 01:23:46,340
And there are no regular agenda items with that.

872
01:23:46,580 --> 01:23:51,300
We have an IHSS close session, human resources, risk management,

873
01:23:51,380 --> 01:23:54,240
close session conference with county labor negotiator,

874
01:23:54,420 --> 01:23:58,040
name of employee organization, United Domestic Workers of America,

875
01:23:58,780 --> 01:24:01,260
for in-home supportive services providers.

876
01:24:01,460 --> 01:24:04,100
The name of County Desert being a representative of Shaleen Bennett.

877
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,580
Is there any public comment on this item?

878
01:24:09,650 --> 01:24:13,070
Seeing none, we will move into closed session.

879
01:24:43,230 --> 01:24:43,790
Good day, folks.

880
01:24:43,890 --> 01:24:48,790
This is March, along the chairman of the in-home health supportive services.

881
01:24:49,870 --> 01:24:53,290
Public authority reporting out on the closed session.

882
01:24:53,290 --> 01:25:01,770
that was just held in regard to the Conference with County Labor Negotiator, the name of

883
01:25:01,770 --> 01:25:04,710
Employment Organization, the United Domestic Workers of America.

884
01:25:04,950 --> 01:25:09,210
You need to have you for the in-home support of services providers, the name of county

885
01:25:09,210 --> 01:25:12,070
designated representative, Shelley and Bennett.

886
01:25:13,030 --> 01:25:20,390
For that matter, information was received and direction was given, seeing that there is no other

887
01:25:20,390 --> 01:25:23,870
on the In-Home Health Supportive Services Public Authority agenda.

888
01:25:24,110 --> 01:25:30,870
I will adjourn that meeting and reconvene the Board of Supervisors and report out on the

889
01:25:30,870 --> 01:25:36,230
closed section with public employee-performs evaluation position of employee and a review

890
01:25:36,230 --> 01:25:41,610
county administrative officer with that matter, information was received and directional

891
01:25:41,610 --> 01:25:42,390
given.

892
01:25:44,270 --> 01:25:50,090
Seeing that there are no other items on the agenda today, I will close in Memorial

893
01:25:50,090 --> 01:25:53,810
this meeting in Memoriam.
