1
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Okay, it's 9 o'clock. Here we go. Welcome to the October 1st Mayor Opposite County Board of Supervisors meeting. Welcome everyone.

2
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,460
I will note for the listening folks. All five supervisors are here.

3
00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:07,840
or C.A. County Council, Clerk of the Board, Deputy Clerk of the Board, sitting in with us this morning.

4
00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:15,680
Hold teams here. Okay, please stand with me, pledge allegiance to the flag of the greatest nation in the world.

5
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:20,370
Again,

6
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000
one nation under individual.

7
00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:37,280
Thank you.

8
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:46,900
Madam Clerk, do we have any introductions this morning?

9
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,320
None that I'm aware of chair.

10
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:57,700
Okay, all right, we'll move on to consent to agenda then.

11
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:04,640
The consent agenda consists of items that are generally viewed as non-controversial and routine by the department.

12
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,500
If the board wishes to discuss an item, it will be removed from the consent agenda.

13
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:18,200
Move to the end of the time to agenda or at the chair's discretion, maybe take in conjunction with another item scheduled by the respective department.

14
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Otherwise, the consent agenda items are generally approved in one single motion.

15
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:34,200
This is the appropriate time for the public to advise the chair of any comments to the consent agenda or to request that the board consider removing an item from the consent agenda.

16
00:04:35,020 --> 00:04:48,420
And if you're on the phone line, would like to make a comment this morning or any time that public comment is open, star five, we'll see your hand raised on the computer there, we can get you recognized for your comment.

17
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:58,680
One note on the consent agenda, we will pull CA9 off for a correction and separate vote.

18
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:02,900
Okay, all right.

19
00:05:03,580 --> 00:05:07,020
I'll open the Florida Public comment on the consent agenda.

20
00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:20,030
I'm Monica.

21
00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:22,330
Good morning. Good morning, Board.

22
00:05:22,630 --> 00:05:24,090
Monica Nielsen, Agriculture Commissioner.

23
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:27,010
In June when we had our budget hearings,

24
00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:29,410
there was a concern about my glass viewing contract.

25
00:05:29,410 --> 00:05:36,950
It is fully funded, so this is the correct amount that we've received for the past couple years, and then also on my Pest Detection Contract

26
00:05:37,710 --> 00:05:40,850
This is only the core trapping, so this is fruit fly

27
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:46,130
Spudgy mouth and Japanese beetle. We should I should be coming back with a and a

28
00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:50,270
Amendment to this contract or a separate contract for the additional CalTrap and

29
00:05:50,270 --> 00:05:51,670
Capra Beetle trapping.

30
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,620
Sure. Supervisor Smokman's question. Thank you Monica

31
00:05:57,620 --> 00:06:05,970
So the, but the numbers that are in the packet right now are the correct numbers for today's purposes correct, okay, great. Thank you

32
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:13,220
Steve

33
00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:23,100
Good morning board, Stephen for planning director. I just a quick note on C.A. 11. This is an appointment for the mayor posted town task force

34
00:06:24,130 --> 00:06:33,090
We'd like to thank the arts council for getting their appointment in place for the board to consider today and there's one more seat available for that committee

35
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:36,550
So, we'll be moving that forward soon.

36
00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:37,170
Thank you.

37
00:06:37,370 --> 00:06:38,110
Thank you.

38
00:06:50,190 --> 00:06:56,030
There's a button right underneath the base of that, it turns to speaker on.

39
00:06:56,910 --> 00:07:01,130
On the base of the speakers, right in the middle, there's a little, there you go.

40
00:07:02,330 --> 00:07:02,370
Hello.

41
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:07,510
My name is Matthew Fried from Kathy's Valley 4-H.

42
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:14,850
I'm here representing National 4-H Week, which is from October 7th to October 12th.

43
00:07:14,850 --> 00:07:19,310
wealth, which will mark this

44
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:29,900
75th anniversary of 4-Hin.

45
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,500
Mayor Boza, thank you.

46
00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:34,100
Awesome, thank you.

47
00:07:47,170 --> 00:07:47,190
Anybody?

48
00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:49,550
Oh, the meeting, yes.

49
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:50,570
Meeting guests.

50
00:07:50,910 --> 00:07:55,510
So we have a hand raised on the phone, but there's no phone number for me to recognize you,

51
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:58,590
so if it's you go ahead, make your comment.

52
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,100
Star 6, unmute yourself.

53
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:07,470
There you go.

54
00:08:09,210 --> 00:08:11,690
Hi. This is Katie at Mountain Crisis Services.

55
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:14,150
I wanted to make a comment on CA5.

56
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:17,590
for you all to proclaim the month of October as Ms.

57
00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:29,530
Ms. Bones Awareness Month, I always appreciate you all bringing this forward and I just want to say thank you and invite you all towards take back the night of it, which is tomorrow at 530 at Mount Chris Services office.

58
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:32,990
So thank you all again and I hope you all have a great day.

59
00:08:33,710 --> 00:08:34,190
Thank you, Katie.

60
00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:40,660
Okay. Anybody else this morning?

61
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,820
We'll close public comment. I'll bring it back to this direction.

62
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:48,600
Any board members?

63
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,540
That is Supervisor Forsyth.

64
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:54,500
Okay.

65
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,320
Let's turn our microphones on.

66
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,820
See a 15, sorry.

67
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,420
See a 15.

68
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,460
There's Supervisor Forsyth.

69
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:07,480
Supervisor Tozo.

70
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,240
15 as well.

71
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:11,620
Down here.

72
00:09:12,820 --> 00:09:12,960
Okay.

73
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,220
Go ahead, Supervisor.

74
00:09:15,820 --> 00:09:17,060
Your first lady first.

75
00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:26,880
I just wanted to mention how important 4-H is to the children in our community.

76
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,360
They learned so much about responsibility.

77
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:38,500
My family was engaged in 4-H from the beginning, from the last 9 years old until the

78
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:42,060
graduate that I went through with FFA and that's another amazing organization.

79
00:09:42,420 --> 00:09:47,320
So I just wanted to mention how important it is to get your kids involved.

80
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:53,920
lots of times it, you know, head, heart, hands, health and that goes along with the

81
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:01,460
other items we have today with domestic violence and are getting those mammograms for

82
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:06,740
these women out here. So I think it all goes together today. So get your kids involved and

83
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:09,900
you guys keep up the good work. Nice job, Matthew. Thank you.

84
00:10:12,220 --> 00:10:12,900
Thank you, Chair.

85
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,320
4H is very important.

86
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:19,540
Chris and I both have been 4H leaders for years.

87
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,080
Recently, we're not now, but our daughters are 4H leaders.

88
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:26,420
Our daughters were in 4H.

89
00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:29,500
My grandchildren, all my grandchildren are in 4H.

90
00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:33,640
It truly develops leadership and public speaking.

91
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:37,880
And the work ethic, something sometimes,

92
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,400
this whole world's lacking.

93
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680
And so it's really amazing to watch these young people

94
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:49,080
show animals and be involved in every kind of project you can imagine. So I just want to say thank

95
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,880
you to for each and the for each leader for doing a great job. Thank you. Thank you for that.

96
00:10:55,560 --> 00:11:01,400
And I want to draw attention to CA10, which is asking this board to proclaim the month of October

97
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:11,200
2024 as breast cancer awareness month and October 18th as mammography mammography day.

98
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,360
This is a special one to me. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and

99
00:11:19,420 --> 00:11:24,200
It's really tough when when you have to do that so get yourself checked. It's I think it's free

100
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,740
Is it still free out there at the hospital on that day? Am I an parent?

101
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,360
Did you see anybody?

102
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:38,800
No, okay, sorry for that. Still, it's worth the price of admission. Get yourself checked. Okay,

103
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:41,620
action

104
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,880
Supervisor Forsyth.

105
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,640
You can't look to the right.

106
00:11:48,980 --> 00:11:50,280
I can't.

107
00:11:51,340 --> 00:11:56,940
I move to approve the consent agenda as presented with the minus of C-19, which will be voted on separately.

108
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,800
C-19.

109
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,440
C-19.

110
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Thank you.

111
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:01,880
Supervisor Boat.

112
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:02,920
That's all second done.

113
00:12:02,940 --> 00:12:03,360
All right.

114
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,600
It's been moved and seconded that we approve the consent agenda.

115
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,700
Minus C-19, all in favor say aye.

116
00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:10,140
Aye.

117
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:11,700
Any pose?

118
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:13,940
Any abstain?

119
00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:19,920
And the consent agenda minus CA9 is approved unanimously.

120
00:12:21,020 --> 00:12:27,940
Okay, Madam Clerk, CA9 has a whole slew of minutes and needs some correction.

121
00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:31,320
Yes, so this was my mistake.

122
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:33,600
It's our Daniel Bonshew Clerk of the Board.

123
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,620
All the minutes from March 19th to May 1st.

124
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:40,940
You guys actually approved June 4th.

125
00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:44,960
I had not pulled them out of my queue yet for finalization.

126
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,940
And so when I was creating this item, they still showed on my end-to-strafts.

127
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:55,400
So I wanted to make it clear that those have already been approved, March 19th through May 1st,

128
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,180
and we're just doing May 14th through July 2nd.

129
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,060
Okay.

130
00:12:59,180 --> 00:13:00,160
Thank you.

131
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:00,900
Thank you.

132
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:04,040
Any public comment on this item?

133
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:08,760
Pretty straightforward.

134
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,300
Okay.

135
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:12,180
It's a surprise for a second.

136
00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:15,580
Yeah, I'll move C9 as presented and as amended.

137
00:13:16,180 --> 00:13:17,320
Thank you.

138
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:21,240
And I'll second.

139
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Then moved in seconded that we approve C9 as amended.

140
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:28,300
All in favor say aye.

141
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:28,960
Aye.

142
00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:30,300
Any opposed?

143
00:13:32,540 --> 00:13:33,140
Bless you.

144
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:33,980
Any abstain?

145
00:13:35,180 --> 00:13:35,440
Okay.

146
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,960
And the item is approved unanimously.

147
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:38,120
Okay.

148
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:39,020
Let's move on.

149
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,320
Department of Presentation.

150
00:13:40,460 --> 00:13:43,540
This is for items within the jurisdiction of this board.

151
00:13:43,540 --> 00:13:48,280
and not on today's agenda, department heads.

152
00:13:55,050 --> 00:14:01,450
Seeing for planning director, I just wanted to send out a little reminder of folks to participate

153
00:14:01,450 --> 00:14:03,190
Friday at Planning Commission.

154
00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:06,710
There's a workshop one of the development code update.

155
00:14:06,850 --> 00:14:09,110
That's an important set of codes for the county.

156
00:14:09,650 --> 00:14:15,650
Just to remind folks that the board had a joint workshop on the 23rd this month with the Planning

157
00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:17,610
Commission in this old beat.

158
00:14:17,610 --> 00:14:21,930
an ongoing process until the code gets to a point where we can bring it back

159
00:14:21,930 --> 00:14:25,670
the planning commission can bring it back to the board for a consideration for a formal

160
00:14:26,370 --> 00:14:30,170
process. So sir, mind or out there shout out for that one. Thank you.

161
00:14:30,210 --> 00:14:35,450
Steve, could question on that if I may? Is that something that the North County can

162
00:14:35,450 --> 00:14:41,050
participate online? Yes, so it'll be similar to a board meeting be held here and they can

163
00:14:41,050 --> 00:14:46,150
they can come in and call in and that link is available to us. Okay, and if I could just ask a

164
00:14:46,150 --> 00:14:50,310
If you could send me a link to that, I will post that for the folks up there.

165
00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:51,410
Sure, thank you for that.

166
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:52,110
No problem at all.

167
00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:53,150
Thank you.

168
00:14:54,170 --> 00:14:54,890
Excuse me, I'm confused.

169
00:14:55,170 --> 00:14:59,970
I thought the intent was that there would be community meetings in different parts of the...

170
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,360
County including in North County. Yes, that is also part of the plan, and it is the intent, and we'll

171
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,540
do that as well. But if anybody wants to participate, they can call in at any meeting that we

172
00:15:12,540 --> 00:15:15,820
have that available. Thank you.

173
00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:26,010
Anybody else this morning?

174
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Chair, if I may ask a question.

175
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:41,120
Sure. This is board presentation from normally chairman or department heads. I notice there's

176
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,240
And one that has not made an appointment or shown up for some time and has the auditor.

177
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:54,020
And I wondered if we could extend an invitation to him today, perhaps maybe come after board

178
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,900
recognitions, because we have a retirement to look at and some folks there, but before

179
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:04,040
regular agenda, maybe we could extend an invitation for him to come.

180
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:09,180
I think he owes it to the citizens of Marepozo to let us know where we are.

181
00:16:12,540 --> 00:16:14,940
Sure, if you want to.

182
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,220
I'll summarize the four sides.

183
00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:18,780
First of all, Jill Lynch County administrative officer.

184
00:16:19,180 --> 00:16:23,160
An invitation was given for today for the auditor's office,

185
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,360
and they had some unforeseen issues with payroll this month,

186
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,640
and Luis, let me know that in the next week or two,

187
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,760
at the audits completion, you will come to the board to give a presentation.

188
00:16:37,820 --> 00:16:40,640
I know we were looking at the end of September we're known to October.

189
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:51,440
So, I mean, a 10-minute update would not hurt the citizens of mere positive, find out where the

190
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:51,980
auditor is.

191
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,080
I mean, 10 minutes would not take a lot out of his time, and he's just down steps away from

192
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:57,940
this room.

193
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,500
I will re-extend the invitation now and let you know the answer.

194
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,060
Okay, thank you, sir.

195
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:09,450
Let me ask a question here.

196
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:18,030
Does anybody kept track of the dates that we've been given so far over the course of the last year?

197
00:17:18,650 --> 00:17:24,130
I'm just curious how many times and what the dates are that that's been pushed out?

198
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:32,570
because we're now in like supervisor forcices into October and I seem to remember a January

199
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:47,530
deadline February March June August September and do we have any thing that we could I think

200
00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:56,090
I guess you guys get what our point is here, we're very frustrated, and I agree 100% with what

201
00:17:56,090 --> 00:18:01,690
supervisor Forsyth says, I can see how building that he is in, he could walk over here.

202
00:18:01,990 --> 00:18:05,430
Jeremy comes almost every time, Shannon Hanson comes.

203
00:18:06,110 --> 00:18:10,070
We have a lot of the other directors here, and it would just be nice, I think, for him to

204
00:18:10,070 --> 00:18:11,050
address that.

205
00:18:11,230 --> 00:18:11,870
Thank you.

206
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:27,580
So the CIO is again, relaying our desire to have a moment of his time here today.

207
00:18:29,420 --> 00:18:29,920
Thank you, gentlemen.

208
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,020
We'll move on to public comment on nonagenda items.

209
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:38,280
And this is for items within the jurisdiction of this board, not on today's agenda.

210
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,360
Speakers are limited to five minutes.

211
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,960
Please note that state law does not allow action to be taken on any item,

212
00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:46,640
not appearing on the agenda.

213
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:53,380
But unless the action is otherwise authorized by a government code section, no conclusion should

214
00:18:53,380 --> 00:18:59,000
be drawn if the board does not respond to public comment on non agenda items at this

215
00:18:59,000 --> 00:18:59,460
time.

216
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,400
And again, if you're on the phone, start 5, get your recognized for your comment.

217
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,260
Floors open for public comment on non agenda items.

218
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:15,480
Good morning, everybody.

219
00:19:19,060 --> 00:19:20,340
Good morning, John.

220
00:19:20,340 --> 00:19:28,580
I mean, it should be mandatory that this gentleman or lady, I think it's a gentleman, come

221
00:19:28,580 --> 00:19:31,740
once a month, 10 minutes, 15 minutes.

222
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,220
We have presentations by a lot of other groups that come and spend half an hour, whatever

223
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:50,320
15 minutes and give us a presentation should be part of his job, should be in his, you know,

224
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:56,620
to come and say, you know, we all pay taxes, we all pay your salaries, you know, it's like

225
00:19:56,620 --> 00:20:00,540
show me something. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

226
00:20:16,430 --> 00:20:20,570
Okay. All right. We will move on from

227
00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:29,590
public comment on on agenda items right into board recognitions. And this morning we're going to

228
00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:37,530
recognize Kathy Garrett, there we go now, we're getting the wake. We're going to recognize

229
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:42,590
Kathy on her many years of service to the county and her retirement today.

230
00:20:49,940 --> 00:20:50,780
More and more.

231
00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:51,300
Good morning.

232
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:54,620
So, Chris Bernard and time chief of Mariposa County Calfire.

233
00:20:56,340 --> 00:21:01,440
Senior on behalf of Chief Wardie. Unfortunately, stuck out of state, his flight was delayed

234
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,040
multiple times and I know he reached out to you guys that let you know and he is very depressed,

235
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:14,360
they can be here and when the extent is sorry for that, but he's going to try and listen and

236
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,600
he told me you try to call in a possible, he's walking through TSA right now so I don't know

237
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,960
that's going to work out.

238
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:28,100
Anyways, I'll say a few words on Chief Ford asked me to speak a little bit on some of the stuff.

239
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:31,640
He felt, and just wanted to get out there.

240
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,100
So these are two forward words.

241
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,100
So when I came in as a position four years ago,

242
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,780
Kathy was my go-to, and four years later,

243
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,500
Kathy still my go-to.

244
00:21:44,180 --> 00:21:46,020
So Kathy is the matriarch of our office

245
00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:48,460
and most everything runs through her.

246
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,480
She was a person, our volunteer's ask for first.

247
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,980
She was the person that made sure

248
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:56,180
our processes stayed within county policy.

249
00:21:56,700 --> 00:22:00,620
She kept me straight, which let's face it's a full-time job in the cell.

250
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:05,840
We went through a lot of change together at the county fire.

251
00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:11,900
She was dealing with new chief, COVID, new offices, and new thought processes, et cetera,

252
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:13,920
on top of the new Oracle.

253
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:21,100
So many changes for a person whose personality and thought process did not like change.

254
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:27,980
One particular change we made together was recognition of the workload she and

255
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:29,980
officer-sistened Kathy Diaz were taking on.

256
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:46,160
They truly were doing the work of three people. Fortunately, we were able to promote Kathy and Kathy Diaz, while it's bringing in a new office assistant, Tracy. Kathy stayed true to herself and eventually got us trained up, well, Kathy and Tracy anyways, not so much more.

257
00:22:47,620 --> 00:22:59,340
There are many examples of her sacrifice to the department and every day having to remind her it's go home time at five o'clock and she eventually gets out of there around five thirty.

258
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:15,420
One of our greatest examples of work will continue through the training of Kathy Es, who will be taking her leadership role in office and Kathy leaves our office in good standing and going to retirement with her head hill high and a job well done and thank you.

259
00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:23,120
So yeah, and also on my behalf, I came in two years ago and I had kind of no idea what

260
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:24,000
I was doing.

261
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:29,440
Chief Ford was helping me, but my every day go to West Kathy and everybody else is too.

262
00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:31,480
So just thank you so much.

263
00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:32,540
Thank you, Chris.

264
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:38,140
Not Chief Ford is on the telephone, so go ahead, Steve.

265
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,120
Hey, can you guys hear me?

266
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:48,280
All right, good morning, Mariposa, from Denver, Colorado, on my second flight to Lake

267
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Anyway, I just wanted to be able to call in, I appreciate Chris being able to say those

268
00:23:54,600 --> 00:24:00,840
words for me, but again, I just wanted to reinforce how much Kathy's meant to me and to

269
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,160
in the county fire department, you know, like we said, like it said earlier, like I stated

270
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:12,780
Chris, you know, four years ago. She was my go-to. She has my go-to. She is what made everything

271
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:18,500
ticked there. Everything ramped to her. She was when we were very first there. All acknowledge

272
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:25,000
the fact that she was doing the work of three. Katie or Kathy Diaz was brand new just coming

273
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,580
into the office. So she was being trained and then I would watch Kathy just countless hours.

274
00:24:31,580 --> 00:24:48,440
She would spend beyond five o'clock, just trying to make sure everything was straight in the office, make sure the process was being followed, trying to explain what agreements were to me, trying to explain to me why processes happened a certain way within the county, as I was still trying to learn.

275
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,100
So, you know, over the years and like I said,

276
00:24:53,260 --> 00:24:54,420
over the years, you'll be able to show,

277
00:24:54,420 --> 00:24:57,020
it'll be able to show as County Fire continues.

278
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,380
They work that she put in and the mentorship

279
00:25:00,380 --> 00:25:03,060
that she gave all of us and how she led us

280
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:06,740
in that office, how things will continue to improve

281
00:25:06,740 --> 00:25:08,080
beyond what she's done.

282
00:25:08,540 --> 00:25:10,800
And I just wanna acknowledge her,

283
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,780
Burt her work and the work that she put in,

284
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,500
making everything the session planning for County Fire,

285
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:22,840
making that all whole. And so again, like I said, I think she can write off from the sunset

286
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,760
with her head held high. She did a great job. And I think County Fire is going to be successful

287
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,700
and we're in a much better place because of her. Thank you. Thank you,

288
00:25:35,140 --> 00:25:37,360
Steve. Thank you, board.

289
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:46,840
Okay. Let's take some public comment on this recognition. Is what we do? So any floor is open to

290
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,920
public comment on this recognition.

291
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:53,200
And if you're on the phone line, start five.

292
00:25:55,020 --> 00:25:59,600
Is it already pushed? It's on patience. Okay. Patience good. I'm the fire inspector.

293
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,780
I love this lady. I got hired right before war did. I was eight months pregnant.

294
00:26:09,700 --> 00:26:13,940
She's been amazing throughout silly everything. Like he said, like she's been the backbone.

295
00:26:13,940 --> 00:26:24,060
She's been there longer than everybody else, but she's not that kind of person who's just like, I'm there for all the work stuff, but she's also there for life stuff in general.

296
00:26:24,180 --> 00:26:29,260
She's been that kind of person who my kid comes into the office running to her, you know.

297
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:35,500
So it's been amazing to be able to work with her and have somebody who knows what they're doing.

298
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:43,000
And that's so important in the position she's in because it's one of those things that people don't think about all the

299
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:52,580
back work behind being a firefighter and she does all the behind the scenes. And I have been moving up in my career and

300
00:26:52,580 --> 00:27:08,120
getting all the trainings that I need, and without her behind me getting me in those classes and getting me in those trainings and making sure everything is paid for and everything is set for me to do those things. I would not be able to continue in my career and be where I am without her being there.

301
00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:09,720
I just want to say she's amazing.

302
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:28,820
Rose time.

303
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:35,120
Oh, Jeremy Brace Sheriff, I just want to say on behalf of the Sheriff's Office.

304
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:42,760
And myself, obviously, congratulations, retirement is a great thing, but we've worked

305
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:49,480
throughout the years, either side by side at some point one time we kind of held a portion

306
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:56,240
of Ev County Fire, which was weird, but I would say always when I was a younger

307
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,900
deputy and then in the management, if you ever had a pop into

308
00:27:59,900 --> 00:28:05,720
County Fire, Kathy was there, like they say go to, would drop whatever she's doing,

309
00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:10,700
help you out, and then as, you know, through through the years going through OES,

310
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:16,200
and the different morphings of departments, she's always been there.

311
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:24,580
I know our undershare of Kevin Packard has nothing but great things and great working relationship

312
00:28:24,580 --> 00:28:29,920
with Kathy as she is down there in the OES unit and again just the partnership with the

313
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:37,000
Sheriff's Office and County Fire is just just like Ann or Cal Fire buddies is what the

314
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,580
team work is, everything about when it comes to one mission, one fight and it doesn't matter

315
00:28:43,580 --> 00:28:50,880
if you're a firefighter or sheriff, when the disaster or the incident hits the road,

316
00:28:51,460 --> 00:28:58,580
we all jump in, but again, there's individuals such as Kathy that are behind the scenes that

317
00:28:58,580 --> 00:29:04,120
you may not always see, but to make sure the policies are followed or to make sure there's

318
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:10,020
money in the piggy bank to buy the fire hoses, she's always a go-to there. So anyways, congratulations

319
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:13,860
on your retirement. I'm behalf of the entire Sheriff's Office. Thank you.

320
00:29:26,950 --> 00:29:31,710
Steering for Planning Director, I just wanted to share the sentiment here for Kathy.

321
00:29:33,010 --> 00:29:38,090
I was able to get to know Kathy a little bit. Everyone knows this, but after the three mortality

322
00:29:38,090 --> 00:29:42,330
task force and the Maripose County Fire Advisory Committee was established, the planning

323
00:29:42,330 --> 00:29:46,670
department was working with the Fire Department on the administration of that committee.

324
00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:53,230
And it's a great group and Kathy spent countless hours working with me to make sure

325
00:29:53,230 --> 00:29:56,290
agendas were out and just hand in hand.

326
00:29:56,590 --> 00:29:59,830
And through that time, I also got to know her a little bit personally and it comes to find out.

327
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,800
Or husband, Mike, who's here with us right now, Mike, goes to the beach a lot. He's an e-border.

328
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:12,440
And it turns out, actually, Kathy, I hope that you have an opportunity to spend some time

329
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,860
going to the beach with Mike now, and watching him out there, and he's not out there

330
00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:22,220
running around by himself. But I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Kathy did

331
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:28,000
it. Excellent job, and I'll miss you from that. And I wish you well for your retirement.

332
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,440
They have the plenty of parliament in myself.

333
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:45,600
All right.

334
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,420
We'll close public comment on that.

335
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,820
I'll bring it back to the board.

336
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:50,840
Supervisor Forsyth.

337
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,460
Thank you, Chair.

338
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,100
Kathy, congratulations on retirement.

339
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,740
It's amazing.

340
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,440
You are kind of an example of all the dedicated servants we have that work for the county.

341
00:31:06,020 --> 00:31:07,040
You're behind the scenes.

342
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,580
You're the ones that make it all happen.

343
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:16,620
And I really appreciate how you have been an example to not only the fire department, but even us here at the board.

344
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:21,040
Anytime I go over to the office, you're always got a smile, help very helpful.

345
00:31:21,260 --> 00:31:22,540
So thank you and congratulations.

346
00:31:26,420 --> 00:31:26,880
Congratulations.

347
00:31:27,860 --> 00:31:30,680
I hope you can do everything that you've wanted to do for years.

348
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,740
But I wanted to thank you for all your years of selflessness and your loyalty.

349
00:31:34,740 --> 00:31:40,640
you're leaving some big shoes to fill. I know that I know County Fire will

350
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,820
miss you greatly as we all will. Congratulations.

351
00:31:49,630 --> 00:31:50,410
Supervisor Smolkel.

352
00:31:53,190 --> 00:31:53,770
I just want to

353
00:31:53,770 --> 00:32:02,850
add my thanks, Kathy. And I noted in the certificate of recognition that you

354
00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:09,010
supported and coordinated several major changes within the Maraposa

355
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:15,110
County Fire Department, such as the implementation of two fire chiefs, two assistant chiefs

356
00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:20,910
and one share of all with different philosophies, work priorities, administrative needs,

357
00:32:21,130 --> 00:32:26,190
and operational urgencies that you ensured met county processes and policies.

358
00:32:26,650 --> 00:32:32,550
That is truly an accomplishment and for what it's worth, I'm working now with Jim Wilson

359
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:40,340
again. So on Firewise Recognition and Pond of Recivation, he's moved back here. You've been through a lot,

360
00:32:41,190 --> 00:32:44,290
and thank you for managing all of that.

361
00:32:48,110 --> 00:32:49,750
Yes, congratulations, Kathy.

362
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:56,090
It's always hard to let the

363
00:32:56,090 --> 00:33:01,950
good ones go, and whoever I didn't catch the name was stepping up behind you, but you got

364
00:33:01,950 --> 00:33:05,230
40-day watch out for, so good luck with that.

365
00:33:07,980 --> 00:33:11,580
Okay, board, I need some action on this item.

366
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,240
Professor Smolko.

367
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,180
Somebody go.

368
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,120
Okay, I moved that this board recognized the retirement

369
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,600
of County Fire Executive Assistant Kathy Garrett.

370
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,420
Thank you.

371
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:25,800
And I'll be happy to second it.

372
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:28,300
All right, it's been moved in seconded.

373
00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:31,440
We approve this recognition, all in favor, say aye.

374
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:32,200
Aye.

375
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,260
Any opposed, any abstain?

376
00:33:35,260 --> 00:33:38,100
and the recognition is approved unanimously.

377
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Okay, if you'll meet me over here.

378
00:34:07,730 --> 00:34:07,990
Hello?

379
00:34:08,510 --> 00:34:08,810
It's on.

380
00:34:10,820 --> 00:34:11,160
Okay.

381
00:34:12,460 --> 00:34:17,620
A resolution recognizing Kathy Garrett for her outstanding service to Mariposa County.

382
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:26,200
Whereas Kathy begin began her career with Cal Fire as an office assistant June 1, 2008,

383
00:34:27,180 --> 00:34:30,440
and continued through July 13, 2015.

384
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:38,140
Before being promoted to fire services assistant, July 14, 2015, and worked in this position

385
00:34:38,140 --> 00:34:48,480
through July 1, 2017, whereas Kathy reclassified from the fire services assistant to office

386
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:55,140
technician in July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2023.

387
00:34:55,140 --> 00:35:01,300
She then promoted to executive assistant on October 1, 2023.

388
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:09,860
And whereas Kathy will officially retire after 16 years today, October 1, 2024.

389
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:17,500
And whereas Kathy has been a part of supported and coordinated, several major changes

390
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:23,380
with the Mariposa County Fire Department, such as the implementation of two fire chiefs,

391
00:35:23,380 --> 00:35:30,540
to assistant chiefs, one sheriff, all with different philosophies, working priorities, administrative

392
00:35:30,540 --> 00:35:36,940
needs and operational agencies that she insured met county processes and policies.

393
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:44,200
And whereas Kathy was the gatekeeper for the safer, grant volunteer fire membership program,

394
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:52,200
she processed paperwork, oversaw county processes and policies were followed, tracked stipend

395
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,640
spending and generated reports.

396
00:35:55,420 --> 00:35:58,320
And where Azkathy was a part of the coordination and

397
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,080
processing for the Maraposa County Fire Fleet

398
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:06,200
replacement from 2009 through 2010, as well as the

399
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,860
building of our four new county fire stations.

400
00:36:09,700 --> 00:36:12,160
And where Azkathy was involved in the coordination,

401
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,480
training and processing of many assistance by

402
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,360
higher buildings that have brought and

403
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,780
significant funding to the county over the course of her career.

404
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:28,760
And whereas Kathy has been an active participant in the relay for life for life, representing

405
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:35,220
the Mariposa County Fire team, and whereas Kathy has been part of many significant milestones

406
00:36:35,220 --> 00:36:42,260
with Mariposa County Fire, always contributing her knowledge and experience, such as the transition

407
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:46,320
of the Fire Department Command and Control to Cal Fire.

408
00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:52,420
The Expansion of the Prevention Program, the first ever paid reserve firefighter program,

409
00:36:53,060 --> 00:36:59,060
the Expansion of Office Personnel, onboarded countless numbers of volunteers and paid

410
00:36:59,060 --> 00:37:06,860
staff over the years, restructured fiscal tracking in Oracle, and whereas Kathy has been

411
00:37:06,860 --> 00:37:13,960
hardworking and was the lynch pen to administration. She was a can-do will-do employee almost

412
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:20,400
to a fault and always strives to ensure that all her fellow employees and departments were

413
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:25,900
supported. And whereas Kathy looks forward to many more beach camping trips with her husband,

414
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,960
Mike, spending time with family and friends doing various home projects.

415
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:40,080
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors of Mariposa County, a political subdivision

416
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:47,140
of the State of California, hereby recognizes and commands, Kathy Garrett, citizens of Mariposa County

417
00:37:47,140 --> 00:37:54,040
and wishes her a long and happy retirement. Passed and adopted by the Board of Supervisors, Mariposa County

418
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,500
on the first day of October, 2024 by unanimous vote.

419
00:38:24,070 --> 00:38:25,890
Any family or co-workers?

420
00:38:26,030 --> 00:38:29,210
I want to come up and get in this photo.

421
00:38:29,970 --> 00:38:30,530
Come on.

422
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,300
Test for 15 minutes.

423
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:00,040
15?

424
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:00,760
20?

425
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:01,620
Okay.

426
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:02,540
All right.

427
00:39:28,820 --> 00:39:29,420
Okay.

428
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,120
Okay.

429
00:39:31,460 --> 00:39:31,540
Okay.

430
00:39:31,540 --> 00:39:31,580
Okay.

431
00:39:31,580 --> 00:39:32,160
You did it.

432
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,900
You'll, it's actually just been a big hit.

433
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:34,360
Okay.

434
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,680
It's just out there in your hand.

435
00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:38,000
No.

436
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,500
I'm going to go in.

437
00:54:22,370 --> 00:54:34,560
Okay, folks, we're going to reconvene. If everybody will take their seats and before we, before we get into our regular agenda,

438
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:41,900
I'm going to let the CAO let us know what he heard from the auditor.

439
00:54:44,380 --> 00:54:56,740
Good morning, Joe Lynch, kind of administrative officer. I just want to let the public in the audience know that Luis Marcato, our auditor did respond that he will be at our Board of Supervisors meeting next week with an update.

440
00:54:56,740 --> 00:55:03,280
And just a reminder for the audience and the community, the auditor is elected by the people

441
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:10,500
and is not supervised by this board or the county administrative office, so we can't direct him to come to the meeting.

442
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,000
We invite him to come and he has accepted the invitation for next week.

443
00:55:22,460 --> 00:55:22,640
Okay.

444
00:55:23,700 --> 00:55:28,660
We will get into our regular agenda items and this first item is from Public Works.

445
00:55:28,660 --> 00:55:34,820
And we're going to receive a presentation from Pacific gas and electric regarding the progress

446
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:42,240
of underground power lines, road restoration, vegetation management, and power pole clearing

447
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:42,760
efforts.

448
00:55:47,410 --> 00:55:49,310
Good morning, Board Chan, a handsome public work director.

449
00:55:49,530 --> 00:55:52,870
I just wanted to do a quick introduction of Nathan Alonzo and his team.

450
00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:57,630
As you know, there's a lot of underground construction taking place in a PG&E vegetation

451
00:55:57,630 --> 00:55:58,250
management.

452
00:55:58,530 --> 00:56:00,230
So they're here to discuss that.

453
00:56:00,230 --> 00:56:06,290
We'd like to invite PG&E about quarterly to come up and let the community and the board know what's going on in the community.

454
00:56:06,990 --> 00:56:08,750
So I'll pass it over to Nathan.

455
00:56:10,590 --> 00:56:10,610
Okay.

456
00:56:10,770 --> 00:56:11,290
Check one, two.

457
00:56:11,630 --> 00:56:12,110
We're live.

458
00:56:13,590 --> 00:56:14,010
Good morning.

459
00:56:14,610 --> 00:56:15,730
Chair, penetrate.

460
00:56:17,670 --> 00:56:22,230
Board, Joe, Shannon, other Joe, and team.

461
00:56:22,850 --> 00:56:26,770
Nathan Alonzo, your government affairs representative for Pacific Gas Electric.

462
00:56:27,310 --> 00:56:31,410
It's a pleasure to be with you here this morning to give you a quick update on a number

463
00:56:31,410 --> 00:56:34,790
of items which you listed before we jump into it.

464
00:56:34,870 --> 00:56:41,970
I'd love to introduce Friend and colleague with me here this morning, Kevin, who's part

465
00:56:41,970 --> 00:56:48,390
of our under-grounding and restoration team, we'll be giving you some updates on where work

466
00:56:48,390 --> 00:56:53,290
stands here in Mariposa and hopefully get to answer some questions of yours in the public

467
00:56:53,290 --> 00:56:54,230
here this morning.

468
00:56:55,890 --> 00:57:01,210
So as this is a PG&U presentation, I always like to talk about safety, but because we are in

469
00:57:01,210 --> 00:57:06,070
the time of year that we are, yet to have a go bag in case wildfire breaks out or in case

470
00:57:06,070 --> 00:57:08,030
a significant weather event happens.

471
00:57:09,090 --> 00:57:14,830
Usually I like to really stress this in most of the counties that I represent, but I need

472
00:57:14,830 --> 00:57:17,290
not preach this to folks in Mariposa County.

473
00:57:17,690 --> 00:57:21,710
You guys are veterans in emergency preparedness and fire safety.

474
00:57:22,670 --> 00:57:28,890
So, things that we'll talk to you about a little bit about wildfire risk and where it stands today.

475
00:57:29,430 --> 00:57:31,670
Undergrounding, clean up in a road restoration.

476
00:57:33,010 --> 00:57:40,810
We'll touch within the clean up and road restoration items and differentiate between temporarily restoration and permanent restoration.

477
00:57:41,670 --> 00:57:49,970
And then we'll get into a big wildfire reduction risk effort that's underway now and has been since the beginning of August, which is our pole clearing effort.

478
00:57:51,500 --> 00:58:08,500
So, you've all seen our layers of protection, the bedrock of that, and probably the thing that reduces wildfire risk the most significantly, is our undergrounding program, a couple years ago our CEO committed to $10,000 of undergrounding, we're chipping away at it year after year.

479
00:58:08,500 --> 00:58:11,260
Mayor of the county has been a big recipient of

480
00:58:11,260 --> 00:58:12,500
undergrounding miles.

481
00:58:13,060 --> 00:58:14,600
A lot of that has happened in the Oak Fire

482
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,620
footprint, as all of you have seen.

483
00:58:18,380 --> 00:58:22,220
And although undergrounding is the best

484
00:58:22,220 --> 00:58:24,240
a tool for wildfire risk reduction,

485
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:26,320
there's a little bit of pain along the way,

486
00:58:26,380 --> 00:58:27,920
which is the road component of it,

487
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,000
which we'll be talking about.

488
00:58:29,820 --> 00:58:32,120
But on overhead distribution, we have enhanced powerline

489
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,380
safety settings, we have new technologies

490
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:42,220
and diagnostics that go along towards helping us identify some issues like grids

491
00:58:42,220 --> 00:58:45,740
gop, which has been deployed throughout the county and then other situational

492
00:58:45,740 --> 00:58:51,740
awareness tools that we have like our weather stations and other tools on our

493
00:58:51,740 --> 00:58:57,820
distribution system. So a lot of hardening is happening on our distribution

494
00:58:57,820 --> 00:59:02,240
system. The county is this year receiving an actual will be receiving miles in

495
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:10,180
what we call a covered conductor and that is going towards welfare risk reduction work

496
00:59:10,180 --> 00:59:14,560
but most of all hardening our distribution system within the county which will hopefully

497
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:19,760
help reduce customer impacts and a lot of the adages that you have seen over the course of

498
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:27,680
the last couple of years. So like I said one of the biggest tools for reducing welfare risk

499
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:33,240
undergrounding with a 98% reduction in overall wildfire risk where undergrounding is deployed.

500
00:59:37,530 --> 00:59:44,790
So we are prioritizing undergrounding in areas that have the highest wildfire risk, or

501
00:59:44,790 --> 00:59:50,870
wildfire risk, or high fire risk areas, or detailed in the map there, pretty much your

502
00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:55,730
entire counties in that, except for some of the low-lying grasslands, but low-lying grasslands

503
00:59:55,730 --> 00:59:58,990
have ignition risks of their own.

504
01:00:00,270 --> 01:00:06,350
So, this is the map that we look at when we look to prioritize undergrounding work.

505
01:00:07,670 --> 01:00:15,950
So, so far, in 2024, 250 miles of undergrounding system wide, about 160 of those still in construction,

506
01:00:18,070 --> 01:00:21,770
and the work will continue over the course of the next several years.

507
01:00:21,770 --> 01:00:31,050
We would point out that in our general rate case, out of the 1200 miles that we requested

508
01:00:31,050 --> 01:00:37,210
over the course of the next three years, we were approved for about 800 of them.

509
01:00:37,930 --> 01:00:45,290
And so the CPUC believed that, under running, yes, is the biggest invest tool for wildfire

510
01:00:45,290 --> 01:00:49,790
risk reduction, but also a covered conductor provided significant wildfire risk reduction.

511
01:00:49,790 --> 01:00:53,410
at a fraction of the price of undergrounding.

512
01:00:53,870 --> 01:00:55,590
So it's a balance over the next couple of years

513
01:00:55,590 --> 01:00:57,230
between undergrounding and covered conductor.

514
01:00:58,130 --> 01:00:59,550
So what does the work look like here?

515
01:01:01,030 --> 01:01:04,250
So this year, 24 miles completed of undergrounding

516
01:01:04,250 --> 01:01:09,930
with five, four casted, or 24 completed through 2023

517
01:01:09,930 --> 01:01:12,890
with five, four casted be completed by the end of this year.

518
01:01:13,290 --> 01:01:17,550
And then over the course of the next about year and a half

519
01:01:17,550 --> 01:01:26,450
another 13 on the way and on the map you see where that work is happening and the overlap

520
01:01:26,450 --> 01:01:32,950
with the high fire risk area which like I said is most of your county. So the covered conductor

521
01:01:32,950 --> 01:01:39,230
or the insulated wire, big heavy wire and because of the big heavy wire it requires replacement

522
01:01:39,230 --> 01:01:44,150
of our distribution poles, the wooden poles over to steel poles. A lot of that work already happening

523
01:01:44,150 --> 01:01:49,990
in the county, 22 miles through the end of last year, three happening this year with 62,

524
01:01:50,910 --> 01:01:52,370
happening over the course of the next two.

525
01:01:52,890 --> 01:01:57,330
So that's where we see that balance between the undergrounding and the overhead conductor,

526
01:01:58,030 --> 01:02:04,290
still providing significant amount of wildfire risk reduction, and overall reliability boost

527
01:02:04,950 --> 01:02:11,530
at a fraction of the price, and this is us balancing the mandate that the CPUC put on us by

528
01:02:11,530 --> 01:02:13,570
they decided to fund our work.

529
01:02:15,550 --> 01:02:21,490
So another component of risk reduction is line removal.

530
01:02:22,590 --> 01:02:27,910
So line removal may be lines that are outdated, and we have found other ways to feed

531
01:02:27,910 --> 01:02:34,610
a customer or a business, or some of these may be what we call privately-owned lines that

532
01:02:34,610 --> 01:02:39,250
the owner has surrendered the infrastructure or have determined that they no longer can safely

533
01:02:39,250 --> 01:02:40,250
maintain the infrastructure.

534
01:02:40,970 --> 01:02:57,930
So we go and we take over a privately owned line or are able to streamline the way that other lines are operated and so four miles completed through the end of last year, three miles this year with a little bit more work underway over the course of the next two years.

535
01:02:59,310 --> 01:03:00,430
So,

536
01:03:02,890 --> 01:03:11,370
we are going to be submitting our tenure under grounding plan to our regulators in the coming weeks and months.

537
01:03:12,350 --> 01:03:23,850
And the criteria remains the same, which is a wildfire risk reduction in key areas where the highest risk exists and where we are able to impact the most amount of customers.

538
01:03:24,870 --> 01:03:34,790
So phase one is that by June we were supposed to deliver a preliminary plan of what

539
01:03:34,790 --> 01:03:40,730
18 year forecast looks like to the CPUC and then by mid year next year I think we'll have

540
01:03:41,470 --> 01:03:45,230
the elements of a financial plan and it'd be ready for approval.

541
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,260
So at this point I am going to

542
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:58,240
hand it over to Kevin, talk a little bit more about the work and the restoration efforts

543
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,740
being done around undergrounding and the roads here in the community.

544
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:03,960
Good morning, everyone.

545
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,420
Good morning. I'm going to stand up if you don't mind.

546
01:04:09,670 --> 01:04:11,570
So, my name is Kevin. I'm a construction manager with PG&E.

547
01:04:13,130 --> 01:04:16,750
So, basically, I handle what we would call a contract construction, which is just

548
01:04:17,990 --> 01:04:21,410
instead of PG&E doing the work, obviously, we have limited resources when it comes to

549
01:04:21,410 --> 01:04:25,590
how much we can actually do is to be contract to work out, and those are the people that

550
01:04:25,590 --> 01:04:27,510
actually come and do the work for us.

551
01:04:29,190 --> 01:04:30,530
So basically we've got going on here.

552
01:04:32,190 --> 01:04:35,030
This is sort of the, I guess you call it the path to construction, right?

553
01:04:35,110 --> 01:04:39,590
So scoping surveying, which is what we do for those you've seen this out there before we actually

554
01:04:39,590 --> 01:04:40,470
get on site.

555
01:04:40,570 --> 01:04:42,390
It's a bunch of stakes, right?

556
01:04:42,450 --> 01:04:46,970
And then a whole sea of yellow vests show up, and everybody's running around looking

557
01:04:46,970 --> 01:04:47,270
at stuff.

558
01:04:47,390 --> 01:04:49,590
So that's when we get scoping surveying.

559
01:04:49,590 --> 01:04:58,090
The design aspect, that's all office stuff where they hand basically built a job package for us and tell us how we're going to build a system.

560
01:04:59,350 --> 01:05:04,430
So a pre-construction preparation tree work, it's all over the hat team, probably since it's last two years, right?

561
01:05:04,470 --> 01:05:07,030
People come, we have a whole bunch of people come out.

562
01:05:07,690 --> 01:05:10,210
Basically, anything that's going to be in the way we take out the way, right?

563
01:05:10,330 --> 01:05:14,810
And then, so that's separate from regular vegetation work that's done by PG&E.

564
01:05:16,060 --> 01:05:24,020
So basically construction and plan outages, I mean that's two to three three, you know, they put all these time firms in there, but they really can't depend on the project.

565
01:05:24,460 --> 01:05:30,860
So typically we go about a three month construction window, sometimes it can go as much as six months, just depending on how big the job is.

566
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:36,060
So trenches and solo equipment energize, so basically it's.

567
01:05:37,340 --> 01:05:38,080
We dig trenches.

568
01:05:39,500 --> 01:05:43,180
We put the equipment in the ground, we set paths, and then it starts a whole

569
01:05:43,180 --> 01:05:47,240
other section of construction, or it's actually de-energizing what's

570
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:48,960
originally there and taking everything out.

571
01:05:49,740 --> 01:05:51,980
So what we've seen before is we have trenches in the road.

572
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:58,200
We do temporary restoration, which can be like coal patch, or cutback as we call it.

573
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,940
Hot makes the asphalt, which is basically all you're doing is covering the trench with

574
01:06:01,940 --> 01:06:06,120
the temporary surface, just to make sure it doesn't get destroyed.

575
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:14,300
You know, we can't, there's certain things we can do and we can't do, but basically temporary asphalt goes down, so it's a patch, and then as soon as the job is

576
01:06:15,660 --> 01:06:20,260
We're cutting call it mostly done, so any heavy equipment we have in there anything like that

577
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:31,180
We're going to save final restoration until all that work is complete because we don't want to put new asphalt down and then destroy it all with heavy equipment when we're taking all the rest of the stuff out

578
01:06:31,740 --> 01:06:38,380
So, that's typically, we try to get it done the same year, the plan for our program is

579
01:06:38,380 --> 01:06:45,340
to be constructed, wrecked out in restored in one season, right?

580
01:06:45,540 --> 01:06:52,040
So, typically we're going for Halloween as sort of like our cutoff date, no matter what.

581
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,360
So, it doesn't always work out, temperatures get too low.

582
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:58,040
We can't actually put it as fully in and meet the county standards for that.

583
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,420
So that's typically a way until spring of the next year to do that final restoration.

584
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:07,120
So we need a post construction here, which anybody who saw trying go, right?

585
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:12,540
We're still in post construction and we're some of those jobs have had done for a year, right?

586
01:07:12,540 --> 01:07:19,100
So it's not always a real easy thing to do and so hopefully we're in the home stretch

587
01:07:19,100 --> 01:07:22,440
now so we should be done in two weeks with everything out there post construction.

588
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,780
So what you're seeing now is the interim right, so on your left side, right, that's the temporary restoration.

589
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:54,360
So we're just trenching, put in a slurry or rock or whatever, engineer material is in there, and then put in temporary asphalt on top of it. So on the right hand side, the left window you're seeing was just what we call a trench restoration overlay, where it's just, let's say there's a eight inch trench in the center of that T-cut and then basically we're just filling in around it.

590
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,920
It's the further you go to the right, it's basically, it's a full trench, I don't know if that's

591
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:00,320
sorry, I can't really tell by the picture.

592
01:08:03,660 --> 01:08:10,560
But, you know, all the way to the right, you basically got it for in the shoulder, right, we have to restore a certain amount of footage to the shoulder.

593
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,940
So that's typically out here, it just kind of depends.

594
01:08:15,260 --> 01:08:18,440
We have based all that up by a pavement condition index, that's provided by the county.

595
01:08:18,540 --> 01:08:21,720
We figure out what the restoration plan is going to be and how much pavement we're going to do.

596
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,640
This is actually a sort of an overview on what we've done so far.

597
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,880
And so let's say all triangle-dara jersey-dale.

598
01:08:29,900 --> 01:08:31,920
That was all projects from last year.

599
01:08:32,260 --> 01:08:33,880
Carson's was done this year.

600
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,940
And we're locking some of the oaks that's, I'm not sure,

601
01:08:37,100 --> 01:08:38,880
that was general construction did that on our side,

602
01:08:39,220 --> 01:08:41,360
so I'm not sure if that got done this year or last year.

603
01:08:42,540 --> 01:08:44,740
But that's, so for the most part,

604
01:08:44,780 --> 01:08:47,240
everything we have on the lower right triangle jersey-dale-dara.

605
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:51,300
All that has been paved with the exception of Dara,

606
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:54,380
where there's still waitin' on some chipsil

607
01:08:55,020 --> 01:08:57,580
and slurry for the rest of triangle

608
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,480
that is basically that's what's left to complete,

609
01:09:00,660 --> 01:09:02,320
but all the hot mix, that's all to down.

610
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:06,240
All the trinch and asphalt that was supposed to be done

611
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,880
is done and basically now we're just waiting on the finals,

612
01:09:09,140 --> 01:09:11,980
which is striping and slurry and stuff like that.

613
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,080
That's all I got, thank you.

614
01:09:17,220 --> 01:09:17,940
Thank you Kevin.

615
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,960
Now we'll jump into Polklering here within the county.

616
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:28,920
So, Polklering was done with the mind that this year we have experienced significantly

617
01:09:29,860 --> 01:09:33,460
longer duration of high temperatures as compared to last year.

618
01:09:34,100 --> 01:09:45,340
With that, fuel moisture has plummeted and the possibility and risk of ignition has dramatically increased.

619
01:09:45,340 --> 01:09:52,020
I don't think I need to make that point too much here to this county after the early summer

620
01:09:52,020 --> 01:09:55,480
and early fall that we are experiencing now.

621
01:09:56,740 --> 01:10:04,520
So yeah, it's significantly more risky this year when it comes to vegetation and ignition

622
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:04,960
risk.

623
01:10:06,020 --> 01:10:13,660
So, doing a little bit more on RN to help reduce the possibility of any ignition, our board

624
01:10:13,660 --> 01:10:20,800
directors and our leadership came up with a plan where we will be doing pole clearing efforts

625
01:10:21,460 --> 01:10:25,460
around distribution poles in high fire threat areas throughout our service territory.

626
01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:27,900
So what does that look like?

627
01:10:28,460 --> 01:10:32,120
So beginning in August, I think I called each of you individually.

628
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,700
We're sending out the equivalent of a heavy duty gardening crew to go out and clear out the

629
01:10:36,700 --> 01:10:42,720
area within a ten-foot radius of all of our distribution poles.

630
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:48,740
So there's some pictures there that show you what it looks like the before and after on the before end

631
01:10:48,740 --> 01:10:53,840
If that vegetation that one looks decently green, but if it's a little bit drier the possibility of

632
01:10:54,340 --> 01:10:58,020
ignition or the risk of ignition if any sparking happens

633
01:10:58,780 --> 01:11:01,380
could lead to

634
01:11:01,380 --> 01:11:02,380
to a fire

635
01:11:02,380 --> 01:11:08,360
Whereas the after as you see if there's nothing there, then you significantly reduce the risk

636
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:15,520
So, Argoal was to do that in high five or third areas with most of the county here being either in a tier two or a tier three.

637
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:20,580
This was a very needed and I think worthwhile effort here in Mariposa.

638
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:27,240
So, Argoal was at 2,600 power line poles here within the county.

639
01:11:27,940 --> 01:11:31,360
Almost all of them have been completed as of September 10th.

640
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,420
So, I think by now we probably hit that 2,600.

641
01:11:36,140 --> 01:11:41,560
and the work is taking place in the communities listed here, and obviously our data

642
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:45,340
people don't know that Grovelin is not within Mayor Posit County. We will forgive them

643
01:11:45,340 --> 01:11:50,100
for that because I don't think there's any Mayor Posit County residents with a Grovelin address

644
01:11:50,100 --> 01:11:55,540
unless I'm wrong. But yeah, those are the communities where this work is happening.

645
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:04,160
And then we have our CAMZ files and maps that are available to the public and also to all of you

646
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,020
on the board, available through our website.

647
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:10,760
They show you are undergrowning forecasts,

648
01:12:12,380 --> 01:12:15,300
are line-hardening efforts, overhead-hardening,

649
01:12:15,460 --> 01:12:17,800
and then the line removal data as well.

650
01:12:19,740 --> 01:12:21,180
Then we have our data sharing portal,

651
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,400
where we talk a little bit more about this work

652
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:24,800
and make it a little more interactive.

653
01:12:26,440 --> 01:12:27,800
If you'd like access to the portal,

654
01:12:27,980 --> 01:12:31,080
we can get you access, just contact me

655
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,200
and we can work through that, and it gives you,

656
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,040
I said a quick snapshot and some data as to the work happening within the county.

657
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:44,720
And then for the public we have our Wildfire Safety Progress map tells you about all

658
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:50,740
this work that we're doing and gives you a snapshot of the infrastructure upgrades that

659
01:12:50,740 --> 01:12:55,980
we'll be making over the coming years and that's at pgenu.com for slash progress map.

660
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:57,860
And now we'll get to questions.

661
01:12:59,180 --> 01:12:59,980
Okay, thank you Nathan.

662
01:13:00,440 --> 01:13:03,440
Any clarifying questions before I go to public comment?

663
01:13:06,380 --> 01:13:06,500
All right.

664
01:13:06,500 --> 01:13:10,500
I'll put the floor to public comment on this presentation.

665
01:13:11,380 --> 01:13:13,160
I'm going to put the comment here this morning.

666
01:13:15,270 --> 01:13:19,690
Marina, you'll have to come up to the microphone and address your question to the board

667
01:13:19,690 --> 01:13:21,770
and we'll get them to answer it for you.

668
01:13:24,380 --> 01:13:25,700
It's not that big of deal.

669
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:28,560
I wondered what KMZ stood for.

670
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:29,240
Okay.

671
01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:30,320
Do you know?

672
01:13:31,140 --> 01:13:32,840
It's a very elegant map.

673
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,620
But I'll get you the definition of the acronym.

674
01:13:37,620 --> 01:13:38,960
I don't have it off of hand.

675
01:13:39,020 --> 01:13:40,300
But it refers to the map.

676
01:13:41,220 --> 01:13:44,280
A camsie file is pretty much like a 3D interactive file.

677
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:50,860
And it's an ability for you to go into a portal and look geographically at where work

678
01:13:50,860 --> 01:13:52,360
is happening with different overlays.

679
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:58,660
You can click on the left-hand side and we'll say, show me the work and show me where the

680
01:13:58,660 --> 01:14:02,420
high fire threat area exists and it will overlay the work over the high fire threat area.

681
01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:03,440
It's stuff like that.

682
01:14:03,620 --> 01:14:03,860
Yeah.

683
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:04,200
Thank you.

684
01:14:04,260 --> 01:14:05,180
You got it.

685
01:14:06,300 --> 01:14:07,040
Thank you Marina.

686
01:14:07,820 --> 01:14:14,860
Okay, so just before we go any further, the public comment comes to the board, when public comment is closed, I'll give you a chance to respond.

687
01:14:15,540 --> 01:14:15,560
Perfect.

688
01:14:16,260 --> 01:14:17,240
Okay. Go ahead, Mark.

689
01:14:22,470 --> 01:14:24,650
Mark Norman, here in Mayor Pose of County.

690
01:14:24,930 --> 01:14:26,610
I was just wondering who should I contact?

691
01:14:26,830 --> 01:14:27,770
Get my property restored.

692
01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:28,810
Okay.

693
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:42,640
And if you're on the phone line, and you want to make a comment, start five.

694
01:14:43,020 --> 01:14:45,460
Get you to see you recognize you.

695
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:46,900
Anybody else this morning?

696
01:14:48,780 --> 01:14:50,180
Well,

697
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:58,320
I control on F on F.

698
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,940
Control on the backfill. After we dig the transfer to pipe in, fill it with slurry and then we cover

699
01:15:06,940 --> 01:15:16,060
it with asphalt. There's needs to be somebody responsible for quality control because some

700
01:15:16,060 --> 01:15:24,600
of the patches out triangle der road out that way were just lousy and bad. And I know most of

701
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:31,560
is subcontractors, PG doesn't actually do the job, they sub it out to the people that do the

702
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:37,480
trenches and connect the lines, but just in my travels from Derro Road down triangle

703
01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:54,580
to 140, some of them spots were like, you almost have to split the trench, or use the

704
01:15:54,580 --> 01:16:00,440
into putting somebody out there that has quality control or I don't know if the county has control

705
01:16:00,980 --> 01:16:05,480
of putting somebody out to say no we don't accept this you need to do it again put more

706
01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:11,720
asphalt run a roller over it something that kind of keeps it smoothed out it looks good now

707
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:21,300
but it took them a while to get it to where it's good you know it's good to me you know but

708
01:16:21,300 --> 01:16:28,200
This other gentleman said, you know, the winter time was hot and cold and bouncing and it could just, it could pop up.

709
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:37,320
The other complain is corner of triangle and dare road, the good and they were digging, that's how they're going to ask them, they put sand down there.

710
01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:41,440
But was that all about? That was like worse for me.

711
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:49,340
And I don't know about anybody else but quality control to me was not up to par, even for me.

712
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:51,860
Thank you Jonathan.

713
01:16:51,860 --> 01:16:52,740
Anybody

714
01:16:58,780 --> 01:16:59,480
else?

715
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:02,360
No hands raised?

716
01:17:03,620 --> 01:17:03,940
Okay.

717
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:05,320
I'll close public comment.

718
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:06,940
Did you take notes?

719
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:07,620
I did.

720
01:17:08,100 --> 01:17:10,080
I'll leave you a chance to respond to those questions.

721
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:14,740
I'll go ahead and respond to the question on restoration.

722
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:20,800
We can go ahead and get your information and make sure that we address the specific property that you're talking about.

723
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:22,300
Be happy to do that.

724
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,900
Jonathan, we're sorry that you had that experience.

725
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:49,900
What I can tell you is two sets of folks have taken us and me specifically to see the quality and the issues around the temporary restoration work and those two sets of folks were the county board with supervisor foresight to took us out there to see the work happening and the temporary restoration in some of the issues.

726
01:17:49,900 --> 01:17:56,600
I think we were in his Jeep that had quite the bit of suspension on it, but we took that

727
01:17:56,600 --> 01:18:02,020
feedback back to our team and we used it as an opportunity to learn and to get better.

728
01:18:03,140 --> 01:18:08,660
So he did that and also the second set of folks that took us out there to see the work,

729
01:18:08,980 --> 01:18:14,240
the issues, but that also held us accountable and communicate with us daily are Shannon

730
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:19,360
and Joe who are advocating not only for the board, but for all the residents who are

731
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:26,680
experiencing what the work is like, the impact of the delays, the traffic diversion, but also

732
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:32,720
the quality of the temporary reconstruction. So they have held us accountable and they're working

733
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:41,080
to make sure that we deliver a product to you as a resident of Mariposa that is acceptable for you

734
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:47,420
to drive on. I'll go back to the board and reiterate our commitment, which happened, I think a couple

735
01:18:47,420 --> 01:18:51,440
presentations ago is that we will return to you roads in

736
01:18:51,440 --> 01:18:56,260
like or better condition. And they will be like or better condition

737
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:01,040
based off of meetings that we have with public works pictures that we

738
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:06,520
take and the standards that we said. So that continues to be our

739
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:14,860
commitment to you. But like Kevin has said in like Shannon and

740
01:19:14,860 --> 01:19:19,840
know, we're working hard, we're working safely, and we're working accurately,

741
01:19:22,020 --> 01:19:22,980
but part of us

742
01:19:22,980 --> 01:19:28,940
wants the rain for the wildfire risk, but part of us is thinking if the temperature

743
01:19:28,940 --> 01:19:34,120
start dipping quickly, it may delay some of our road work. So,

744
01:19:36,460 --> 01:19:47,000
that's

745
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:49,900
the

746
01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:53,240
to your question about what KM Z stands for?

747
01:19:53,620 --> 01:19:55,640
It stands for, there's two different types.

748
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,100
One is a, it's called keyhole markup language

749
01:19:59,100 --> 01:20:03,720
and keyhole markup language Z, meaning what it is

750
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,420
is it's a mapped file that you can put a whole lot of data

751
01:20:06,420 --> 01:20:08,780
on, and why they come up with these terms

752
01:20:08,780 --> 01:20:10,980
is beyond me, because it doesn't make any sense

753
01:20:10,980 --> 01:20:14,240
whatsoever to name it that, so that answers your question.

754
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,740
But I had a question, a couple of questions

755
01:20:16,740 --> 01:20:21,440
in a couple of comments. You guys are doing a heck of a lot of work up in Greeley Hill.

756
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:29,480
Matter of fact, my power was out last week. You got it back on before the deadline.

757
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:38,100
But in just a little constructive criticism, if I may about par west. And I've got a lot of

758
01:20:38,100 --> 01:20:43,620
complaints about these folks. And I've had interactions with a lot of them. They don't seem to

759
01:20:43,620 --> 01:20:50,560
customer service training that you guys do. I mean, you're pretty nice guy, Nathan.

760
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:55,460
We've known you for a couple years and all the guys out in the field that I've dealt

761
01:20:55,460 --> 01:21:01,940
with from PG are all really nice. These folks here are really stand-offish. And I even approached

762
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:09,240
them to ask them, hey, what are you guys going to do on, I was on dog town road? And what

763
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:14,400
was the impact. And he looked at me like, how dare you even ask me a question. I said,

764
01:21:14,540 --> 01:21:19,460
look, I'm not just an average Joe here. I represent the folks here at the County Supervisor.

765
01:21:19,580 --> 01:21:25,400
And when I said that, it is attitude obviously changed pretty quickly. But it's just not only

766
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:31,220
that, the worst complaint that I got was when the fire broke out down in Dom Pedro,

767
01:21:32,440 --> 01:21:36,680
one of our residents, actually a couple of our residents were down there being evacuated.

768
01:21:37,260 --> 01:21:41,780
and par west was down there and through a let's cigarette on the ground when

769
01:21:41,780 --> 01:21:46,700
over and snuffed it out in the grass. That's probably not cool. So I just wanted to

770
01:21:46,700 --> 01:21:51,080
give you a little constructive criticism on that that you can pass to the par west.

771
01:21:51,380 --> 01:21:52,940
It's telling to be nice. It's all made.

772
01:21:53,700 --> 01:21:55,560
But I had a question about, uh,

773
01:21:55,660 --> 01:22:00,120
undergrounding an overhead over, overhead hardening. I, I guess,

774
01:22:00,620 --> 01:22:03,720
you went through those pretty quick and I was, I wasn't real,

775
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:11,460
depth it keeping up. The overhead hardening, what it can be in layman's terms tell me what that

776
01:22:11,460 --> 01:22:18,540
is. Overhead hardening is that insulated wire that we were talking about. So right now you've got

777
01:22:18,540 --> 01:22:24,520
the steel wire running on the wooden distribution poles that we've always seen. Hardening is

778
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,980
it's pretty much two tiers. It's reducing the vegetation around the distribution poles.

779
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:41,840
But also upgrading the infrastructure that is the distribution system in that area with the steel poles that are rated to be able to hold the insulated heavier wire.

780
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:55,000
With insulated heavier wire, you reduce your wildfire risk, one, but two, you reduce your EPSS impact and the possibility of, you know,

781
01:22:55,000 --> 01:23:02,180
One of God's creatures scurrying across it getting zapped and they're being an outage or a branch falling on it and causing the outage.

782
01:23:02,220 --> 01:23:06,880
A lot of that's mitigated by having that hardened overhead distribution system.

783
01:23:07,620 --> 01:23:13,980
So the other question that I had was let me get back to the presentation here.

784
01:23:13,980 --> 01:23:17,000
It was about the polls.

785
01:23:18,060 --> 01:23:22,400
Is you guys, maybe you can find it quicker than I can here.

786
01:23:23,340 --> 01:23:26,900
It was a couple of thousand polls that you guys were replacing.

787
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:29,960
Polklering?

788
01:23:33,630 --> 01:23:37,010
No, I thought you guys, what's part of what's doing?

789
01:23:37,110 --> 01:23:37,950
What do you call that?

790
01:23:38,030 --> 01:23:39,350
What are replacing the polls?

791
01:23:39,430 --> 01:23:40,190
What's the terminology?

792
01:23:40,870 --> 01:23:43,070
I think that's probably part of the system hardening work,

793
01:23:43,290 --> 01:23:44,990
where they're replacing the wooden for the steel

794
01:23:44,990 --> 01:23:49,130
And the steel so that it can hold the insulated wire wrapped in rubber.

795
01:23:49,410 --> 01:23:52,330
I didn't see him put in any steel around our place,

796
01:23:52,830 --> 01:23:55,490
uh, angry the hill. They replaced wooden poles,

797
01:23:55,890 --> 01:23:59,050
rightfully so that wood beckers had pretty much destroyed them.

798
01:23:59,850 --> 01:24:02,210
But, um, and that's hardening as well.

799
01:24:03,110 --> 01:24:05,190
So if they're replacing wood for wood,

800
01:24:05,310 --> 01:24:09,910
it may just be part of, uh, regular, uh, maintenance.

801
01:24:10,090 --> 01:24:12,490
Yeah, regular maintenance or regular equipment and replacement.

802
01:24:13,210 --> 01:24:14,850
Okay. All right. That's it. Thank you.

803
01:24:14,850 --> 01:24:16,970
I appreciate it, thank you chair. You got it.

804
01:24:20,930 --> 01:24:25,810
Thank you chair. Thank you. Excuse me, Nathan and Kevin for your presentation.

805
01:24:27,310 --> 01:24:35,630
I am interested in, I don't know, it's what you will see in your neighborhood. I guess it's the chart.

806
01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:42,930
It's page 336 in our agenda packet, but I don't know what the corresponding number is in your

807
01:24:42,930 --> 01:24:45,150
And this is in regards to...

808
01:24:45,150 --> 01:24:47,150
Yeah, so this is what Kevin covered.

809
01:24:47,430 --> 01:24:48,810
It's what you will see in your neighborhood.

810
01:24:48,810 --> 01:24:49,810
It's a process.

811
01:24:50,970 --> 01:24:55,030
And what I think would be helpful to me

812
01:24:55,030 --> 01:24:59,610
and to the listening audience is the conversations

813
01:24:59,610 --> 01:25:04,070
that you have with our public works folks.

814
01:25:05,850 --> 01:25:09,170
And once upon a time had a link to undergrounding,

815
01:25:09,350 --> 01:25:12,910
I tried getting in this morning and got an error message

816
01:25:12,910 --> 01:25:15,150
but that's something I can sort out, obviously, offline.

817
01:25:16,250 --> 01:25:22,490
But in terms of the process, so in that there was data on this is this is what we're

818
01:25:22,490 --> 01:25:26,490
going to be doing work here, this is what we're going to be doing work there, approximate

819
01:25:26,490 --> 01:25:34,070
dates, the type of activity that was anticipated, and I'm guessing that not only does our

820
01:25:34,070 --> 01:25:39,150
public work staff have access to that, but that they also are in conversation with you,

821
01:25:39,150 --> 01:25:47,570
because I recognize what Kevin was talking about, schedule's change, whether, you know, supply issues,

822
01:25:47,670 --> 01:25:55,530
whatever. And so what I'm interested in hearing from you and Shannon and Orjo, if they want to

823
01:25:55,530 --> 01:26:01,970
weigh in. But what is that look like when you say, all right, we're ready to go on this project over here.

824
01:26:02,410 --> 01:26:08,870
I'm assuming that you're in contact with our public works folks. So how does that conversation

825
01:26:09,150 --> 01:26:17,350
play out over time. So we are in constant conversation with them. One because they are our

826
01:26:17,350 --> 01:26:24,690
permit issuer. So we can't just go out willingly and just start work. So we are our project

827
01:26:24,690 --> 01:26:31,910
managers on the ground, Kevin and his team are in daily or sometimes multiple times a week

828
01:26:31,910 --> 01:26:38,330
communication with Joe and with Shannon to talk about what work we have coming up when the work

829
01:26:38,330 --> 01:26:45,910
starts, how the work is progressing, if there are any hiccups within the work, and then within

830
01:26:45,910 --> 01:26:50,870
the hiccups within the work is when we have conversations on, hey, what you're doing

831
01:26:50,870 --> 01:26:59,190
here is affecting this pocket of residents, the traffic diversion needed or the construction

832
01:26:59,190 --> 01:27:05,530
traffic is creating this issue. So all of that is happening in live time, and it's pretty

833
01:27:05,530 --> 01:27:14,290
much a conversation that never stops and the team here in public works is very, very direct

834
01:27:14,290 --> 01:27:19,410
to this and what the expectation is and what the needs are of the residents to minimize

835
01:27:19,410 --> 01:27:21,750
the impact that our construction has on them.

836
01:27:21,990 --> 01:27:25,050
So it's something that's happening in real time all the time.

837
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:35,280
And I'm assuming that PG&E has standards to which they hold their contractors in terms of

838
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:40,540
quality of the product or the, I don't know, you probably don't call it a product, but

839
01:27:40,540 --> 01:27:44,140
No, it is a product that we have to deliver at the end and we do have standards.

840
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:55,740
And we do our best to put those in a contract to verbally ensure that the subcontractors

841
01:27:55,740 --> 01:27:57,940
are clear on what our expectation is.

842
01:27:57,940 --> 01:28:04,060
And the good thing is is that U.S. board and the Team of Public Works help us reinforce

843
01:28:04,060 --> 01:28:06,780
that to that subcontractor very firmly.

844
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:12,820
And if the product that we deliver at the end isn't to the expectation of the county

845
01:28:12,820 --> 01:28:17,000
of the Team of Public Works, Shannon and Joe have never been shy about telling us that.

846
01:28:17,380 --> 01:28:19,940
So they make sure that we do right by them.

847
01:28:21,500 --> 01:28:22,040
Okay, great.

848
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:24,160
Thank you very much for that clarification.

849
01:28:26,950 --> 01:28:27,730
Thank you, Chair.

850
01:28:28,550 --> 01:28:30,210
Thank you, Kevin, and Nathan for coming.

851
01:28:30,930 --> 01:28:32,350
I appreciate that very much.

852
01:28:33,630 --> 01:28:37,090
Yes, we spent a lot of time in a Jeep, and I knew every hole,

853
01:28:37,250 --> 01:28:38,710
and I made sure you hit them.

854
01:28:38,970 --> 01:28:39,550
All right, get them.

855
01:28:40,730 --> 01:28:42,410
So I appreciate that.

856
01:28:42,410 --> 01:28:44,330
And then we have sat around with public works,

857
01:28:44,530 --> 01:28:47,010
and some of your folks, your engineers, everything else,

858
01:28:47,430 --> 01:28:48,710
to explain our frustrations.

859
01:28:48,890 --> 01:28:49,710
And you have listened.

860
01:28:49,750 --> 01:28:52,670
It's been a slow process, but we're getting there.

861
01:28:53,970 --> 01:28:55,630
Kevin, I'm going to ask you some questions.

862
01:28:56,490 --> 01:29:03,690
One is, why not use, and I know it's expensive, but looking at the road repair and the

863
01:29:03,690 --> 01:29:09,830
aftermath and the time roads have been tore up, why would we not look at directional drilling?

864
01:29:10,150 --> 01:29:17,990
And I know it's come a long ways directional drilling, even hard rock that can get through it.

865
01:29:18,050 --> 01:29:24,350
I know it's sometimes slow at times, but it would save a lot of road work afterwards and a lot

866
01:29:24,350 --> 01:29:28,750
of roads being one lane, if you will.

867
01:29:29,450 --> 01:29:31,570
So why not, and I know they're using it up a paradise,

868
01:29:31,750 --> 01:29:32,790
I know they're using it elsewhere,

869
01:29:33,390 --> 01:29:35,030
why not on the East job, share and wear a poster?

870
01:29:36,170 --> 01:29:36,970
Okay, that's a good question.

871
01:29:38,150 --> 01:29:40,570
So, typically it's for the same reason to mention,

872
01:29:41,230 --> 01:29:42,870
it's expensive for one.

873
01:29:43,450 --> 01:29:45,190
To environmental leaders, a lot more restrictions

874
01:29:45,190 --> 01:29:47,830
with boring men you have with trenching.

875
01:29:48,750 --> 01:29:50,090
Basically, it comes down to like,

876
01:29:50,090 --> 01:29:50,870
all those things aside,

877
01:29:50,970 --> 01:29:52,890
let's say money wasn't an issue environmental stuff.

878
01:29:52,890 --> 01:29:56,770
we had figured out it was as easy as getting equipment out here to do the work.

879
01:29:56,990 --> 01:29:59,970
Well then, having qualified people that are licensed.

880
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:10,440
To do it with PG&E is an even harder task. So just getting the people in the equipment is probably the biggest piece of that, that's, that's the most difficult part to get.

881
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:31,580
Okay. So typically with trenching, it's, you get better production rates out of trenching than you do with, with boring. So there are situations where we have to do boring. And I think that's, you know, we utilize as much as we can, but it's just not really cost effective as you do.

882
01:30:31,580 --> 01:30:32,960
would project-wise.

883
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:39,880
And then it's, I mean, just to give you kind of a basic dollar amount, right?

884
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:41,840
Because this is not PG&E money we're spending.

885
01:30:41,900 --> 01:30:44,400
This is shareholder money, or this is all our money, right?

886
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:46,540
Because everybody here pays a PG&E bill and click on myself.

887
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,460
So this is, is rate payer money, and then,

888
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:52,920
trenching is the best way to do it for that dollar.

889
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:56,880
But it's, you know, just to just give you something that's supposed

890
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,280
to cost $100,000 with boring, just in general,

891
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:06,380
You can go from 100,000 to 300,000 in one minute because you get granted and you can't get through it.

892
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:11,120
That's just the way the pricing is, so it's just not very expensive.

893
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:18,720
I know it's expensive, but it just seems like to me it might be, in some cases, it might move us to look at it.

894
01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:20,660
But I'm not going to take it out.

895
01:31:21,100 --> 01:31:21,700
I'll bring it out.

896
01:31:21,740 --> 01:31:22,280
I appreciate it.

897
01:31:22,900 --> 01:31:26,880
The other thing is this open trench, I understand it's faster than everything else.

898
01:31:27,420 --> 01:31:29,920
I know on some jobs or most jobs,

899
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:31,500
compaction tests are run.

900
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,620
Was that done in this case on Triangle Road

901
01:31:35,620 --> 01:31:39,080
because we had some compaction failure

902
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:40,980
on both ends of the project?

903
01:31:42,300 --> 01:31:43,940
So do you have an independent person

904
01:31:43,940 --> 01:31:46,020
coming in and doing compaction tests?

905
01:31:46,620 --> 01:31:48,560
Yeah, so I can't speak to what was done at the time.

906
01:31:49,220 --> 01:31:51,260
I'm gonna assume when we put engineered material in,

907
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:52,440
so popcorn, slurry, whatever.

908
01:31:52,860 --> 01:31:55,340
If we use an engineered material that comes with a curve,

909
01:31:55,340 --> 01:31:59,760
right? We're saying that hey from the plant or wherever the wherever it's getting makes

910
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:04,480
this coming with the properties saying it's going to meet this 95% compaction for

911
01:32:04,480 --> 01:32:08,880
we're on the road. So when we're off the road, there is compaction testing so we do now

912
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:15,200
have like let's say from the in the future we have a pretzitor set up with our own

913
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:25,320
compassion testing firm. So we actually PG&E would actually control where the

914
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:31,020
Okay, because obviously we had some failures that had to be re-compacted in and that's so

915
01:32:31,020 --> 01:32:37,480
I was just curious if they were doing tests and I know you don't test every foot, but it's sporadic

916
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:44,440
The other thing is is you were talking about the seal chip seal in summaries and I would assume a

917
01:32:44,440 --> 01:32:46,660
Sog that fog seal on

918
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:52,380
a portion of it as well and then repainting is my correct. Restriping the road is that correct.

919
01:32:52,540 --> 01:32:55,960
Yes, that's right. So where is the chip seal going?

920
01:32:57,260 --> 01:33:03,840
Audera. If it's on one of the slides, Nathan Pooner bring it up towards the overhead map of all the

921
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:09,140
different forward. Give me a second we'll find it here.

922
01:33:09,500 --> 01:33:11,640
There it is. Yeah, so.

923
01:33:12,060 --> 01:33:16,060
Audera right here. We're Darren trying to meet. There's a single lane chip seal that goes there.

924
01:33:16,060 --> 01:33:21,680
And then there's sporadically from there, down through triangle, there's sorry seal.

925
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:23,460
Okay. That's going to be done. Okay.

926
01:33:23,480 --> 01:33:30,840
And then basically, I think we've just almost every piece of there or every section of triangle we can get.

927
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:35,680
So to my knowledge we're going to restripe all of triangle, that's in our impacted area.

928
01:33:36,060 --> 01:33:41,640
Okay, great. Then I have some questions about covering poles. I've seen the dark

929
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:46,640
of coloration on new polls, I know it helps to prevent

930
01:33:47,340 --> 01:33:53,040
critters from boring into the polls, but it seemed to also help

931
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:57,920
during the French fires, some of those polls did not succumb

932
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,660
to the fire, does it help with fire suppression apparently

933
01:34:00,660 --> 01:34:01,300
or not?

934
01:34:02,660 --> 01:34:06,920
So we have, so

935
01:34:10,020 --> 01:34:12,680
you're afraid of the polls that have that dark ray yet?

936
01:34:12,680 --> 01:34:20,640
Yeah, so that's called an Intamacent poll, and that's like a, if I can remember the right terminology, closed cells.

937
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:28,720
So basically, once they get exposed to heat from a fire, all those cells closed, and that mass turns into like a big fluffy puff of insulation.

938
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:30,240
So it did help.

939
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:34,440
Yeah, so that's actually four fire protection. That's not for woodpecker protection.

940
01:34:34,440 --> 01:34:38,320
Okay, good because I want to say it worked during the French fire.

941
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:43,140
It was good and then a lot of those poles and I've done it in the past four

942
01:34:43,140 --> 01:34:49,460
you folks, Foss checked the poles fire, you know, fire retard and on it and that

943
01:34:49,460 --> 01:34:54,280
seemed to help as well, so it helps with replacement when you have to come back in.

944
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:55,140
Right.

945
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:55,440
Yeah.

946
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:59,040
So since the campfire, they said that PG&E has put a lot of money into what it's called

947
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:04,340
So the basically PG fireman that go out and treat polls,

948
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:08,420
clear vegetation, and all I had fired by my house two years ago,

949
01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:10,180
and PG&E was one of the first ones out there

950
01:35:10,180 --> 01:35:11,520
who ripped everything out of the way.

951
01:35:11,940 --> 01:35:13,720
So basically they're just protecting that asset

952
01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:15,560
for things that aren't into mess into, right?

953
01:35:15,620 --> 01:35:17,640
We don't have fire protection on an old line set

954
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:18,360
and stuff like that.

955
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:21,460
They come out and spray retarded on.

956
01:35:21,480 --> 01:35:23,140
Whatever that word to you, it was a flash check game.

957
01:35:23,700 --> 01:35:24,180
Very good.

958
01:35:24,180 --> 01:35:25,100
Thank you very much.

959
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:25,660
Thank you.

960
01:35:30,780 --> 01:35:31,280
All right.

961
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:40,540
But I wanted to go back to the pole clearing, the wrap we got on the poles, that fabric

962
01:35:41,740 --> 01:35:50,500
expansive stuff and the relationship between all of that and so like where you got this

963
01:35:50,500 --> 01:35:53,820
pole clearing in this photo, this is just a naked wooden pole.

964
01:35:54,640 --> 01:36:00,120
If you got these poles that are wrapped with the fabric or we still are doing this aggressive

965
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:07,900
poll clearing? Yes. Okay. Here in Mariposa and I'm sure a lot of places these polls run right

966
01:36:07,900 --> 01:36:13,940
along property lines. And if something's got a wooden fence, this is within two feet of that poll.

967
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:21,160
It's an ignitable situation. What happens there? They're going to leave it alone.

968
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:28,540
If there is a property barrier like a fence, then yeah, we're not going to destroy that property

969
01:36:28,540 --> 01:36:34,600
area, that if there's specific landscaping that folks have, we're not going to disturb that,

970
01:36:34,940 --> 01:36:40,820
or if folks refuse the work, we're also not going to compel the work on this poll-clearing

971
01:36:40,820 --> 01:36:41,260
effort.

972
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:45,040
So, we've had refusals and we've moved on.

973
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:50,180
Okay, so people get notified not only for the vegetation management,

974
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:56,000
but for the natural

975
01:36:56,000 --> 01:37:03,940
with regard to the gentleman's statement about property restoration, if folks, I don't know

976
01:37:03,940 --> 01:37:08,000
you're going to speak to him, but you know, if folks just let us know, we can put you

977
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:14,320
them in touch with Nathan, if you've got a specific issue that needs to be addressed, get

978
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:20,000
a hold of your supervisor. We can forward that request to Nathan and get it taken care of.

979
01:37:22,260 --> 01:37:24,880
Just put the goggles on and look one more.

980
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:38,780
Okay. Thank you guys for coming up. Glad you made it. And it's a good presentation.

981
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:44,960
Covered a lot of ground there. And I know my phone's been ringing lately that PG&E crews are going to be in your neighborhood.

982
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:53,900
So I don't know if you're going to be cutting more. I don't know what's left to cut quite frankly on the Leonard Road, but maybe it's pulled clearing.

983
01:37:53,900 --> 01:37:54,680
Yeah.

984
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:55,300
Or hard.

985
01:37:55,580 --> 01:37:56,900
It was another curiosity.

986
01:37:57,280 --> 01:38:00,080
So we've got all this vegetation management cut down.

987
01:38:00,260 --> 01:38:06,400
How do you decide which lines get the replacement of the insulated metal pole situation

988
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:12,600
versus just the wrap and the poles and the vegetation down to clearance?

989
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:15,760
What's the criteria for deciding which way to go?

990
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:20,580
Which poles get the, um, which lines get replaced with the rubberized insulation?

991
01:38:20,940 --> 01:38:21,000
Oh.

992
01:38:21,340 --> 01:38:22,320
Those are the ones in the highest.

993
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:34,720
So there's high fire threat areas to your one, two, and three, the priorities, probably the two or three, but even within two or three, there's subteriors of extreme, but then there's different tiers of extreme.

994
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:38,400
So wherever the biggest risk exists, that's where we're going.

995
01:38:44,140 --> 01:38:44,740
Thank you.

996
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:51,220
Well, thank you, Mr. Chair, Board, Joe, Shannon, Joe.

997
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:55,740
Appreciate the opportunity to come and just share a little bit about what we're doing.

998
01:38:55,740 --> 01:39:09,460
I know that a lot of counties want undergrounding and once they get the undergrounding it's the journey we take together through the work and through the restoration.

999
01:39:10,620 --> 01:39:13,740
And this county has been absolutely wonderful to work with.

1000
01:39:14,980 --> 01:39:19,750
I appreciate to all of the patients the understanding and the grace that you and the community give us.

1001
01:39:20,250 --> 01:39:29,690
And that's why this is my favorite county and group of five supervisors to work with and if the other four counties that I cover listening, I hope they listen good.

1002
01:39:31,170 --> 01:39:32,230
So, thank you all.

1003
01:39:32,650 --> 01:39:32,790
All right.

1004
01:39:33,170 --> 01:39:33,790
Thank you guys.

1005
01:39:33,850 --> 01:39:34,970
Appreciate it.

1006
01:39:39,420 --> 01:39:39,560
Okay.

1007
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,380
Do we need time to set up for health and human services?

1008
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:43,900
A minute.

1009
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:49,260
This next item is from Health and Human Services.

1010
01:39:49,260 --> 01:39:55,440
We're going to receive a presentation by the Mariposa County Health and Human Services Agency

1011
01:39:55,440 --> 01:40:01,340
providing an update on the Mariposa County Health Branch Community Health Assessment.

1012
01:40:49,730 --> 01:40:56,030
Hi, good morning boards, CAO and County Council, Kim Ballard Deputy Director of Public Health.

1013
01:40:56,750 --> 01:41:04,390
And recently, Mariposa County Health and Human Services Public Health Branch has finalized our 20-24 community health assessment.

1014
01:41:04,390 --> 01:41:10,250
And I felt it was necessary to provide the board with an update, along with the highlights

1015
01:41:10,250 --> 01:41:17,430
from the Chau, and a brief update on Public Health Branch accreditation process and our

1016
01:41:17,430 --> 01:41:17,890
timeline.

1017
01:41:18,690 --> 01:41:23,750
And therefore, I'd like to introduce our amazing accreditation team, who will be giving

1018
01:41:23,750 --> 01:41:30,110
our presentation, in Rinder Tour, is our administrative analyst, also our infection prevention

1019
01:41:30,110 --> 01:41:30,790
practitioner.

1020
01:41:30,790 --> 01:41:38,530
And Erin Fisher, Brawitz, staff services, analysts, and our accreditation coordinator.

1021
01:41:39,390 --> 01:41:42,110
And with that, I would like to pass it over to Imrender Tor.

1022
01:41:42,530 --> 01:41:42,750
Okay.

1023
01:41:44,030 --> 01:41:44,230
Welcome.

1024
01:41:46,740 --> 01:41:48,400
Hey, Imrender Tor, public health.

1025
01:41:49,100 --> 01:41:53,820
We'll be presenting some results from the community health assessment on this slide show,

1026
01:41:53,940 --> 01:41:58,180
and for those that are not watching, but listening, you can follow along.

1027
01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:00,560
It is uploaded on the Mirapose County website.

1028
01:42:01,810 --> 01:42:10,810
So some chart data sources for the community health assessment included the county health rankings, which is accessible on county health rankings.org.

1029
01:42:12,310 --> 01:42:18,840
Those include length of life indicators and quality of life indicators, length of life would be life expectancy or premature death.

1030
01:42:19,990 --> 01:42:24,670
Quality of life is physical and mental health. This also included health factors.

1031
01:42:24,670 --> 01:42:30,050
We use state and national data sets, that was the U.S. Census and Chiss.

1032
01:42:30,410 --> 01:42:32,210
That's the California Health Interview Survey.

1033
01:42:33,790 --> 01:42:35,150
We also connected to the Community Survey.

1034
01:42:35,310 --> 01:42:40,150
We got 298 responses between November, 2023 and March of 2024.

1035
01:42:41,110 --> 01:42:45,090
We also connected key informant interviews with partner agencies that are outlined within the

1036
01:42:45,090 --> 01:42:45,330
Chau.

1037
01:42:49,380 --> 01:42:52,620
Some highlights from the Chau are just a few graphs and tables for you.

1038
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:58,200
These are some of the strengths for Mayor Posa County.

1039
01:42:58,900 --> 01:43:01,820
You can see physical activity rates are higher than other Californian counties.

1040
01:43:02,780 --> 01:43:06,260
High school graduation rates are also above average in the state.

1041
01:43:06,860 --> 01:43:10,740
In community quality rates are lower than the state, and STI rates,

1042
01:43:11,060 --> 01:43:12,140
sexually transmitted infections.

1043
01:43:13,340 --> 01:43:16,880
The rates are lower than the state, but the rate is increasing within the county.

1044
01:43:23,210 --> 01:43:26,190
These are some questions from the community health survey

1045
01:43:26,190 --> 01:43:30,790
that was conducted with 298 individuals within the county.

1046
01:43:32,270 --> 01:43:36,990
The question was, what are the greatest behavior concerns children and adolescents face in your community?

1047
01:43:37,270 --> 01:43:43,410
The top three choices here were mental health, substance use, and lack of social connection and community engagement.

1048
01:43:44,670 --> 01:43:47,050
I'll leave that up for a second so you can take a look at that graph.

1049
01:43:57,750 --> 01:43:59,990
Can I ask you one question while we were looking at that?

1050
01:43:59,990 --> 01:44:06,530
Sure. The respondents to this question were adults, children, adults and children?

1051
01:44:07,110 --> 01:44:09,390
Over the age of 18. Over the age of 18. Thank you.

1052
01:44:14,110 --> 01:44:19,270
This was a graph breaking down social contact by age group. Social contact was defined

1053
01:44:19,890 --> 01:44:24,970
by you could see at the bottom of the legend. I do not see or talk to anyone all the way up to

1054
01:44:24,970 --> 01:44:30,030
five or more days a week that they have. Social contact. If you look at the age groups,

1055
01:44:30,030 --> 01:44:37,030
25 to 34, we're seeing the highest in I do not see or talk to anyone across all age groups.

1056
01:44:37,370 --> 01:44:45,030
And you see a drop off of five or more days a week of social contact from the 55 to 64 to 65 plus.

1057
01:44:45,730 --> 01:44:48,290
Again, I'll leave it up for a couple of seconds here as you can take a look.

1058
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,700
The next question was, what are the greatest needs of children and their families in your community?

1059
01:45:05,540 --> 01:45:19,820
And the top three choices with a tie for third were mental health and substance use disorder programs for individuals and families, clean and safe housing, and tied for third safe spaces for physical activity and access to a pediatrician.

1060
01:45:23,540 --> 01:45:32,340
A couple others to note there that were selected but didn't make the top three there were health insurance access to healthy food and connection to trusted adults.

1061
01:45:41,340 --> 01:45:48,540
The county health rankings, website, also breaks Mariposa County's health outcomes and compares

1062
01:45:48,540 --> 01:45:53,180
it to national and state average. So you can see that graph there on the right. Mariposa

1063
01:45:53,180 --> 01:45:57,260
County affairs worse than the average county in California for health outcomes, but better

1064
01:45:57,260 --> 01:45:58,440
than the average county in the nation.

1065
01:46:08,830 --> 01:46:11,230
Some opportunities for improvement that were highlighted

1066
01:46:11,230 --> 01:46:17,190
in the county health rankings were adult smoking, adult obesity, excessive drinking,

1067
01:46:17,750 --> 01:46:21,370
access to exercise opportunities, alcohol impaired driving deaths,

1068
01:46:22,490 --> 01:46:26,050
unemployment, flu vaccination rates, severe housing problems,

1069
01:46:26,850 --> 01:46:29,450
mammography screening, preventable hospital stays

1070
01:46:29,450 --> 01:46:31,310
and children in single parent households.

1071
01:46:36,480 --> 01:46:38,660
We also have some artwork featured here from local artists.

1072
01:46:44,460 --> 01:46:47,180
If you would like to access the Community Health Assessment,

1073
01:46:47,460 --> 01:46:48,560
there's a QR code there.

1074
01:46:48,740 --> 01:46:53,760
It's also available on the website, under the Health Services Division

1075
01:46:53,760 --> 01:47:04,100
page of HHSA. I can leave that up if you want to scan it, but move on to public health

1076
01:47:04,100 --> 01:47:06,960
accreditation with Erin. Hi.

1077
01:47:14,690 --> 01:47:19,650
Hi, I'm Erin. I can hear me now at works. So I'm going to

1078
01:47:19,650 --> 01:47:24,690
go over the chon the chip process really quickly before we break into some processes of

1079
01:47:25,190 --> 01:47:30,410
accreditation. Right now we're in the prioritization phase.

1080
01:47:33,010 --> 01:47:33,590
We're not doing this

1081
01:47:33,590 --> 01:47:38,850
sitting down. So right now we're in the prioritization phase. We've done two

1082
01:47:38,850 --> 01:47:43,150
chip meetings thus far. Thank you Supervisors. Welcome for attending those.

1083
01:47:44,570 --> 01:47:49,750
We are currently kind of in the process of identifying what our action items

1084
01:47:49,750 --> 01:47:55,130
are going to be. We've identified our priorities. Access to care and

1085
01:47:55,130 --> 01:47:57,270
transportation, housing, and child,

1086
01:47:57,290 --> 01:47:58,010
not a lesson health.

1087
01:47:58,070 --> 01:48:01,570
Our top three priorities for this coming chip.

1088
01:48:03,830 --> 01:48:07,810
The process of the John the Chips started last year.

1089
01:48:08,350 --> 01:48:09,590
Prior to me being in this role,

1090
01:48:09,810 --> 01:48:12,150
so I don't have the nuance of everything,

1091
01:48:12,310 --> 01:48:15,950
but I can direct you to folks if you have questions about that.

1092
01:48:16,490 --> 01:48:19,430
Our chart is obviously published now.

1093
01:48:19,550 --> 01:48:21,470
We followed the map 2.0 process,

1094
01:48:21,670 --> 01:48:23,170
which is what we're continuing to follow

1095
01:48:23,170 --> 01:48:30,210
we move forward with the chip. Our next phases after our chip meetings have concluded is actually

1096
01:48:30,210 --> 01:48:33,890
developed the plan and then publish that out to the community and of course takes a

1097
01:48:33,890 --> 01:48:37,450
action on the goals that we set as a community.

1098
01:48:40,310 --> 01:48:43,470
Let's go ahead and move it on over.

1099
01:48:45,410 --> 01:48:51,200
So public health accreditation is kind of the thing that I'm in charge of doing right now.

1100
01:48:52,080 --> 01:49:01,920
accreditation is a pretty extensive process. It's very heavy with regards to processes and

1101
01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:10,480
planning and a lot of changes that are made on both a micro and macro scale. Right now we're

1102
01:49:10,480 --> 01:49:17,530
in the preparation phase that are about seven phases of accreditation that include reporting and

1103
01:49:17,530 --> 01:49:22,630
accreditation as well. We're very early stages. Part of the reason that we are in early stages

1104
01:49:22,630 --> 01:49:27,490
is because we're working on the 2022 standards and measures. The 2022 standards and measures

1105
01:49:27,490 --> 01:49:34,230
were published in January of 2022 and 1.1.5, which is the version of the standards and measures

1106
01:49:34,230 --> 01:49:42,730
prior to that, closed in June of 2022. Currently there are only two counties that are accredited

1107
01:49:42,730 --> 01:49:47,030
for 2022, but that's simply just because of the timing

1108
01:49:47,030 --> 01:49:48,130
that the process takes.

1109
01:49:50,730 --> 01:49:56,430
We have quite a bit of progress being made

1110
01:49:56,430 --> 01:49:59,910
toward establishing ourselves for what is referred

1111
01:49:59,910 --> 01:50:01,130
to as the readiness assessment,

1112
01:50:01,330 --> 01:50:04,290
which is kind of the stage prior to application.

1113
01:50:05,650 --> 01:50:08,690
There are several very intense plans

1114
01:50:08,690 --> 01:50:10,410
that we have to work on.

1115
01:50:10,790 --> 01:50:11,850
We have many of those.

1116
01:50:11,850 --> 01:50:17,570
is just a matter of kind of getting things in order, crossing T's, dotting eyes and all that.

1117
01:50:19,930 --> 01:50:25,470
The other thing I wanted to mention here, oh yes, we're also working with a couple contracting

1118
01:50:25,470 --> 01:50:31,270
organizations that are helping us ensure that our plans meet compliance for both accreditation

1119
01:50:31,270 --> 01:50:34,950
and help with agency guidelines as well.

1120
01:50:36,230 --> 01:50:42,590
Having the chalk completed, we have already taken a huge step toward finalizing things

1121
01:50:42,590 --> 01:50:45,890
for moving toward the readiness assessment and, of course, the application.

1122
01:50:48,690 --> 01:50:50,470
I think that's it.

1123
01:50:55,790 --> 01:50:56,470
Any questions?

1124
01:50:59,070 --> 01:51:02,070
My parents' part, or I said, I've said it yet, okay.

1125
01:51:02,870 --> 01:51:03,490
Thank you.

1126
01:51:06,410 --> 01:51:11,570
So also, I just wanted to mention, if anybody has any questions or concerns or wants

1127
01:51:11,570 --> 01:51:17,630
more information, please feel free to reach out to myself or the team even more than happy to

1128
01:51:17,630 --> 01:51:24,890
provide you guys with the information. Thank you. Okay. Okay, anything before I go to public comment?

1129
01:51:26,450 --> 01:51:29,450
All right, can all open this presentation up for public comment?

1130
01:51:30,030 --> 01:51:33,790
Yeah, and if you're on the phone line, star 5, get your recognized for your comment.

1131
01:51:36,820 --> 01:51:39,380
Any public comment on this presentation this morning?

1132
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:48,280
Okay.

1133
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:52,100
And I'll close public comment, I'll bring it back to the board.

1134
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:55,400
Supervisor Forsythe.

1135
01:51:56,220 --> 01:51:56,720
Thank you, Chair.

1136
01:51:57,060 --> 01:51:59,000
Thank you, Kim, for bringing this forward.

1137
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:01,220
And the good folks doing the presentation.

1138
01:52:01,940 --> 01:52:05,540
Erin, it's been a while since we've seen you in town, so that's good to see you back.

1139
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:08,860
Another MCHS grad, so that's what we'd like to see.

1140
01:52:10,300 --> 01:52:15,480
Could we go back to the slide that talks about what are the greatest behavior concerns

1141
01:52:15,480 --> 01:52:21,260
children and adolescents face in the community. Yes, let me put up here.

1142
01:52:21,620 --> 01:52:29,980
That's page three, three, four, thirteen in our packet. Yeah, there we are. Number one is...

1143
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:40,000
So have you shared this with the school district? We are in our check process right now, working with people from the school district. So we can

1144
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:48,040
are formal sharing this through the online uploading of the community health assessment and notifying them as well. But this information was presented to them.

1145
01:52:48,380 --> 01:52:59,820
Okay, very good. It concerns me when we see mental health is a very high probability that folks are concerned about that.

1146
01:53:00,000 --> 01:53:11,080
What are we doing to help the schools combat the concerns young people have particularly mental health?

1147
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:16,520
Do you know what we're doing as far as we're team effort county hand schools?

1148
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:18,080
So what are we what are we reaching out?

1149
01:53:18,100 --> 01:53:19,200
What are we doing?

1150
01:53:20,060 --> 01:53:28,180
I can speak to I see him in my role is right now at least in the community health improvement plan

1151
01:53:28,180 --> 01:53:31,420
working on addressing these issues that were brought up through the

1152
01:53:31,420 --> 01:53:36,600
child and making a plan to basically over the years address them.

1153
01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:41,260
But in the past from our chip that was completed in 2019, this was also

1154
01:53:41,260 --> 01:53:46,160
identified as a concern. And since then, we've introduced telehealth

1155
01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:50,700
services for mental health at HHSA, so that does address that as well.

1156
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:52,540
There's more.

1157
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:08,080
Good morning board, CIO County Council, Sheila Baker, mental health director, and also deputy

1158
01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:12,400
director for behavioral health and recovery services.

1159
01:54:13,340 --> 01:54:19,860
I wanted to go ahead and speak to your question if I may regarding what is being done

1160
01:54:19,860 --> 01:54:21,560
with mental health with the schools.

1161
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:30,780
So, currently, the schools have been awarded several grants and county behavioral health

1162
01:54:30,780 --> 01:54:39,560
works with them monthly regarding what are they doing to fulfill their grant and so we

1163
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:44,720
do have some oversight with them on what they are currently doing.

1164
01:54:44,720 --> 01:54:59,700
They have a mental health student services act over a five-year period for $2.5 million that they are utilizing staff.

1165
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:11,840
They have a vehicle. They have more vehicles in their plan, working on purchasing those vehicles in order to put mental health staff in all of the schools.

1166
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:18,660
that is North County and South County, that is in their plan.

1167
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:28,920
We also then on the county behavioral health staff have clinicians and case managers that work in the school seeing clients.

1168
01:55:30,740 --> 01:55:36,420
So that is on their like caseload that would still be part of behavioral health services.

1169
01:55:36,420 --> 01:55:45,580
So, they see them at the school sites, but they also see them at our family service center for behavioral health.

1170
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:46,660
Yeah.

1171
01:55:46,820 --> 01:55:51,460
I knew some of that, and I appreciate the partnership we have with the school district.

1172
01:55:54,340 --> 01:56:02,280
I guess my other question is, drugs and meth and fentanyl and all those kinds of things.

1173
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:11,500
tragic things happen. I know as vice principal, it was tough breaking that cycle up and

1174
01:56:11,500 --> 01:56:16,920
there's always someone seems to be able to push it to kids and it's sad. But what are we doing

1175
01:56:16,920 --> 01:56:24,540
to help the school district in that? So we also have our substance abuse team and we have our

1176
01:56:24,540 --> 01:56:30,880
counselors, there's three on the team. They also can go out to the school sites and they have also

1177
01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:34,880
on to presentations in the communities after hours

1178
01:56:34,880 --> 01:56:38,740
and talked about nicotine opioids,

1179
01:56:38,900 --> 01:56:42,000
substance abuse use, as well.

1180
01:56:42,060 --> 01:56:43,840
So our supervisor, Todd Davidson,

1181
01:56:44,060 --> 01:56:46,680
has personally done some of those outreach

1182
01:56:47,210 --> 01:56:49,600
to the schools to get them some information.

1183
01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:53,180
Also, they can come in for assessments

1184
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:59,740
and by calling 966-2000 as for behavioral health services

1185
01:56:59,740 --> 01:57:05,480
and they can come in youth and adults for substance abuse assessments.

1186
01:57:06,180 --> 01:57:07,520
Thank you very much.

1187
01:57:07,660 --> 01:57:10,680
Yeah, you're welcome. Any other questions?

1188
01:57:13,220 --> 01:57:13,820
Thank you, Chair.

1189
01:57:14,460 --> 01:57:15,220
Thank you so much.

1190
01:57:15,260 --> 01:57:16,240
Thank you for the presentation.

1191
01:57:17,220 --> 01:57:20,960
I'm wondering within the survey with mental health.

1192
01:57:21,800 --> 01:57:26,380
Do we get an idea of the main issues with mental health?

1193
01:57:26,380 --> 01:57:32,580
was there an overwhelming reason or another for mental health issues?

1194
01:57:34,100 --> 01:57:38,180
I'll have to leave that to the team to see what they are diving into.

1195
01:57:41,360 --> 01:57:46,700
I think even in this graph, there's a couple that were mentioned, so suicide, lack of social

1196
01:57:46,700 --> 01:57:47,820
connection and isolation.

1197
01:57:49,100 --> 01:57:55,780
But beyond that, it's included in several different parts of page 8 through 12, where we mentioned

1198
01:57:55,780 --> 01:57:59,000
mental health and address different points of it.

1199
01:57:59,460 --> 01:58:03,640
But this graph does summarize a lot of what was included for a mental health.

1200
01:58:03,900 --> 01:58:10,180
I can also speak on the suicide prevention awareness that we just have for September.

1201
01:58:10,900 --> 01:58:14,220
I also want to remind the board of our track team.

1202
01:58:14,340 --> 01:58:20,400
Track team is doing outreach and as of July 1st, they also have implemented the new mobile

1203
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:27,540
crisis response, which is a two-person response, which includes a licensed clinician, either

1204
01:58:27,540 --> 01:58:32,400
in-person or available via phone, Zoom, or some sort.

1205
01:58:33,220 --> 01:58:41,420
We also have a new licensed supervisor with our track unit, but we are heavily involved

1206
01:58:41,420 --> 01:58:42,900
with suicide prevention.

1207
01:58:43,540 --> 01:58:49,820
We just recently also did an all-county mailer, and that crisis line that people can reach

1208
01:58:49,820 --> 01:59:00,300
to is 2099667000. We're very involved with messaging also for suicide prevention and then also if they

1209
01:59:00,300 --> 01:59:08,340
want to come in for counseling we could do an assessment for them there and that would be by reaching the

1210
01:59:09,760 --> 01:59:17,560
I had another question, too, on the opportunities for improvement page.

1211
01:59:18,100 --> 01:59:23,420
It talks about adult obesity and access to exercise opportunities.

1212
01:59:25,220 --> 01:59:26,960
Did we get any clarification on that?

1213
01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:30,600
We have so many trails and everything here in the mountains.

1214
01:59:32,060 --> 01:59:36,440
Exercise opportunities, did you get an idea of what was meant with that?

1215
01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:41,820
I think we can kind of speak to that a little bit with regards to transportation being one of our key priorities.

1216
01:59:42,140 --> 01:59:51,580
I think some of it is simply people can't access the areas they're desiring to actually try to work out or they don't feel like they have safe areas to do so.

1217
01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:55,020
Thank you.

1218
01:59:58,190 --> 01:59:59,930
Thank you chair and thanks for the present.

1219
02:00:01,260 --> 02:00:09,100
I remember on the social contact by age group, why was the age group 18 to 24 excluded?

1220
02:00:10,120 --> 02:00:15,200
That was excluded because we had a really small sample size of 18 to 24 years, as part of our survey.

1221
02:00:16,100 --> 02:00:20,280
So, an aim for the next one would be to address that and reach out to that population.

1222
02:00:20,980 --> 02:00:22,820
Great. Okay, thank you for that.

1223
02:00:22,820 --> 02:00:29,540
And I guess, do you know, are we tracking the time

1224
02:00:29,540 --> 02:00:33,020
expended on this project between the trial

1225
02:00:33,020 --> 02:00:35,860
and the chip now of staff?

1226
02:00:36,260 --> 02:00:40,460
Are we, is that going into Oracle as their specific account

1227
02:00:40,460 --> 02:00:42,420
that this is being charged to?

1228
02:00:46,550 --> 02:00:50,650
So, in Render and Erin, are funded through

1229
02:00:50,650 --> 02:00:52,530
some accreditation funding.

1230
02:00:53,350 --> 02:00:55,150
But for others who are participating,

1231
02:00:55,150 --> 02:00:59,390
being no, it's not being tracked, per se, and oracle.

1232
02:01:00,310 --> 02:01:05,650
So, okay, all right, as long as you're up there and maybe this is a question for Sidney,

1233
02:01:06,570 --> 02:01:10,530
but you might want to lay out, why is it that we're pursuing this?

1234
02:01:10,910 --> 02:01:12,790
Why are we pursuing accreditation?

1235
02:01:13,790 --> 02:01:18,450
Well, I know we have been trying to pursue accreditation for years.

1236
02:01:18,450 --> 02:01:18,790
Yep.

1237
02:01:19,330 --> 02:01:24,170
All the way back to when Eric Sergeenko was beginning his reign.

1238
02:01:24,170 --> 02:01:26,590
actually when Robin Reiter was, oh, there you go.

1239
02:01:26,890 --> 02:01:31,610
Yeah, so you've heard that, so it's so that we can maintain a higher level of

1240
02:01:31,610 --> 02:01:38,250
a standard that is being from the state, federal, state, and down to local level.

1241
02:01:38,730 --> 02:01:44,530
And so down the road, it's going to also pertain to how we receive funding, our funding

1242
02:01:44,530 --> 02:01:51,170
sources, as well, and so we're talking there about the probability of successfully

1243
02:01:51,170 --> 02:01:52,030
correct.

1244
02:01:52,250 --> 02:01:52,330
Correct.

1245
02:01:54,710 --> 02:01:59,070
And it also gives us other opportunities to secure other funding as well.

1246
02:01:59,370 --> 02:02:00,270
So we have better chances.

1247
02:02:01,010 --> 02:02:01,090
All right.

1248
02:02:01,710 --> 02:02:08,170
So improving the level of service and improving the probability that we'll secure additional funding.

1249
02:02:08,470 --> 02:02:11,250
But it might be good also for us to start tracking our time as well.

1250
02:02:11,670 --> 02:02:18,790
In some way or another just to see how much time we are spending on pursuing accreditation for for now and for future.

1251
02:02:19,570 --> 02:02:30,910
Okay, thank you, there's a lot of data there and as is always the case, the devil is in the detail.

1252
02:02:32,310 --> 02:02:42,390
So are you, I don't recall a specific conversation on this, but I'm serving on the child and adolescent subcommittee.

1253
02:02:42,390 --> 02:02:53,730
And are we, is there data available that's broken down more by age group and then also by geographic area within the county?

1254
02:02:54,130 --> 02:02:57,850
Can we manipulate the data to extract other information?

1255
02:02:58,570 --> 02:03:03,150
Yes, we can do that based on the need from that arises from that group.

1256
02:03:03,210 --> 02:03:09,170
So the conversation still have, you can let Erin and I know what you're looking for and we can provide that data to you.

1257
02:03:09,170 --> 02:03:12,890
as long as it doesn't get into small numbers that could eventually be

1258
02:03:12,890 --> 02:03:14,270
in a viable, we're not looking to do that.

1259
02:03:14,670 --> 02:03:17,450
Yeah, actually, you might review that.

1260
02:03:17,470 --> 02:03:21,070
I know what you're talking about, not everybody necessarily understands

1261
02:03:22,290 --> 02:03:25,370
that why we can't get more detailed data.

1262
02:03:25,990 --> 02:03:31,390
Yeah, so there should be a minimum number of the sample size that we're

1263
02:03:31,390 --> 02:03:32,230
showing you.

1264
02:03:32,590 --> 02:03:36,970
If it's too small, there's a possibility of individuals being

1265
02:03:36,970 --> 02:03:39,430
identified through the topic we're speaking of.

1266
02:03:39,690 --> 02:03:44,410
So if we say there's only five people experiencing a certain condition, it makes it easier

1267
02:03:44,410 --> 02:03:47,750
for people between to understand who that might be or talking about, and we don't want

1268
02:03:47,750 --> 02:03:48,450
to do that.

1269
02:03:49,290 --> 02:03:52,410
So we're going to protect the privacy of those that participated in this survey.

1270
02:03:52,990 --> 02:03:53,110
Super.

1271
02:03:53,570 --> 02:03:53,810
Okay.

1272
02:03:54,170 --> 02:03:54,330
All right.

1273
02:03:54,350 --> 02:03:55,830
Thank you very much.

1274
02:03:57,210 --> 02:03:57,670
Thank

1275
02:03:59,970 --> 02:04:00,430
you.

1276
02:04:00,430 --> 02:04:02,390
I just had a thank you for the presentation.

1277
02:04:02,390 --> 02:04:04,930
And there's a very informative,

1278
02:04:07,090 --> 02:04:31,310
and I go back two years ago before sitting up here, I wouldn't have been able to, this would have surprised me, being in the position and hearing and seeing and everything that goes on much better is it doesn't surprise me anymore, but I had a question about the slide that you have right before this one, which is the greatest behavior concerns.

1279
02:04:31,310 --> 02:04:48,750
So when you guys do these surveys and I don't even know if you can do this, you're just interviewing or having adult respondents, is it possible to even talk to the kids to see what their problems are in their eyes?

1280
02:04:48,750 --> 02:04:51,570
Yeah, it's possible.

1281
02:04:51,770 --> 02:04:57,330
It does require specific training and then parental consent.

1282
02:04:58,390 --> 02:05:01,590
That does get difficult because there's always ethical concerns

1283
02:05:01,590 --> 02:05:03,710
when looking at data for children.

1284
02:05:04,870 --> 02:05:06,210
So we haven't done it this time,

1285
02:05:06,310 --> 02:05:08,530
but it is something we can discuss moving forward

1286
02:05:08,530 --> 02:05:10,690
if that's an interest in the community.

1287
02:05:10,790 --> 02:05:11,930
Well, I don't know that it is.

1288
02:05:12,210 --> 02:05:15,050
I would, I leave that to the professionals you guys.

1289
02:05:15,050 --> 02:05:21,210
Just because I want to see something doesn't necessarily mean that it should be done.

1290
02:05:22,450 --> 02:05:29,970
But I'm thinking about who would know their kids better than their parents, probably no one.

1291
02:05:30,530 --> 02:05:36,350
And I would think that they would know what their problems are, the things that they face.

1292
02:05:36,350 --> 02:05:48,310
I just think of communities in my district like Greve Hill as probably the best example is the kids,

1293
02:05:48,590 --> 02:05:54,210
you know, I see them get off the bus at the hardware store and they walk home and sometimes

1294
02:05:54,210 --> 02:05:59,970
their folks pick them up. There's no whole heck of a lot for the kids to do. There's no,

1295
02:05:59,970 --> 02:06:13,230
I mean there's a park that for lack of a better terms isn't very well suited really for kids and there's just not a lot for them to do so what do they do hike around in the woods

1296
02:06:15,390 --> 02:06:29,890
because they're so isolated that's part of the thing and I guess I can see isolation on here but isolation to me I don't know whether that I guess what I'm trying to get to in a really crappy way here is

1297
02:06:29,890 --> 02:06:38,630
Um, I would be curious to see the data maybe for the North County, um, like what supervisor

1298
02:06:38,630 --> 02:06:40,330
Smolkeham was talking about.

1299
02:06:40,770 --> 02:06:47,630
So if you guys could maybe hook me up or give me some direction on how to obtain and then

1300
02:06:47,630 --> 02:06:51,610
disseminate that myself, I would greatly appreciate that.

1301
02:06:51,890 --> 02:06:54,350
We can connect with you after the meeting and make sure that happens.

1302
02:06:54,350 --> 02:06:55,410
Does that make sense to you?

1303
02:06:55,470 --> 02:07:01,970
I mean, the folks up there being so isolated and the poor kids is, you know, well, okay.

1304
02:07:02,130 --> 02:07:02,630
Well, thank you.

1305
02:07:02,790 --> 02:07:03,410
Good job on that.

1306
02:07:03,470 --> 02:07:04,090
Very well.

1307
02:07:04,170 --> 02:07:04,730
Very well done.

1308
02:07:05,030 --> 02:07:05,610
Thank you.

1309
02:07:11,930 --> 02:07:12,370
Good afternoon.

1310
02:07:12,490 --> 02:07:13,350
Good morning, still.

1311
02:07:13,470 --> 02:07:14,770
Joe Lynch, county administrative officer.

1312
02:07:14,890 --> 02:07:19,370
I normally don't comment during these times, but I did want to take a moment to say, you know,

1313
02:07:19,490 --> 02:07:24,450
we have seen questions in the Mariposa Gazette, utter from community members about why

1314
02:07:24,450 --> 02:07:28,010
we use so many consultants to do work in Mariposa County.

1315
02:07:28,010 --> 02:07:29,710
And this chart.

1316
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:34,720
Has always been done by a consultant, and this is the first time it was actually done internally.

1317
02:07:35,920 --> 02:07:42,380
So, my recognition for not only training up, but putting together a really fantastic product.

1318
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:46,940
And I just wanted to continue to know that we do have the capacity, and you do see, thank you, I'm Render.

1319
02:07:47,780 --> 02:07:56,300
And Kim, Kristina, Sydney, the leadership in Health and Human Services, for assuming this work, doing it, and taking the questions from today to say,

1320
02:07:56,300 --> 02:07:57,580
How do we make the next one better?

1321
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:00,340
We're learning as we go, but really nice jobs.

1322
02:08:00,520 --> 02:08:02,220
I just wanted to say thank you for that.

1323
02:08:02,900 --> 02:08:04,560
And it's not my place to talk during this,

1324
02:08:04,740 --> 02:08:06,700
I ask for permission just to let you know

1325
02:08:06,700 --> 02:08:07,780
that we appreciate you.

1326
02:08:08,100 --> 02:08:11,780
And secondarily, just to note, to a writer, Poe,

1327
02:08:12,120 --> 02:08:14,060
North County does have a disproportionate amount

1328
02:08:14,060 --> 02:08:18,740
of mental health response issues compared to the county.

1329
02:08:18,820 --> 02:08:23,460
So we do run those, we do, I used to know this stuff

1330
02:08:23,460 --> 02:08:24,360
when I worked out the Indian Service.

1331
02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:35,980
But we do run the data to find out per population where the biggest pockets of issues and a lot of it is due to the isolation, so we do have that data for you and we can bring forward.

1332
02:08:36,500 --> 02:08:37,420
Thank you, Chair.

1333
02:08:39,100 --> 02:08:43,600
So Joe uses up his one opportunity to speak on the first day of October.

1334
02:08:46,540 --> 02:08:47,020
Okay.

1335
02:08:47,500 --> 02:08:49,340
It is very interesting stuff.

1336
02:08:49,340 --> 02:08:54,000
I did not know that we'd always done this outside,

1337
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:56,260
and you guys pulled it in, so good job.

1338
02:08:56,480 --> 02:08:57,860
Who knows on that?

1339
02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:03,560
Anything else from the board before we supervise or spot that?

1340
02:09:05,020 --> 02:09:06,880
I think we're just, Erin,

1341
02:09:07,100 --> 02:09:09,820
I think you're in an email exchange

1342
02:09:09,820 --> 02:09:14,620
where we're talking about setting up sort of the offline subcommittee

1343
02:09:14,620 --> 02:09:16,260
meeting for child and adolescent.

1344
02:09:17,940 --> 02:09:25,660
But what I have asked for in another context is data that came out of the study that I guess

1345
02:09:26,260 --> 02:09:31,960
and Andy Carter led, which had to do with food insecurity in Mariposa County.

1346
02:09:32,880 --> 02:09:40,240
And part of what I've asked for along those lines, and I know I think somebody's talking to somebody.

1347
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:46,900
I think it's, it would work, it would work as talking to Kim, I think, or Mandy, somebody.

1348
02:09:47,440 --> 02:09:52,180
Anyway, there was a lot of data that was collected in the under the auspices of a grant

1349
02:09:52,180 --> 02:09:57,780
that we received from USDA and to the supervisor pose point.

1350
02:09:59,020 --> 02:10:06,460
One of the bits of data that stuck out to me related to the levels of food insecurity in North

1351
02:10:06,460 --> 02:10:06,800
County.

1352
02:10:06,800 --> 02:10:25,100
So I think, I guess what I'm driving at here is that what we might all appreciate here on the board is what I'll call the aggregation of data on that pertains to demographic characteristics in our different districts, right?

1353
02:10:26,220 --> 02:10:31,220
There's food insecurity, there's mental health and substance use disorders.

1354
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:34,980
I mean, I would like that for District 1.

1355
02:10:35,100 --> 02:10:37,760
I'm a supervisor, I think everybody.

1356
02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:45,380
What is our population look like along these areas of concern

1357
02:10:45,380 --> 02:10:50,860
with respect to the overall health of the populations in our districts?

1358
02:10:50,860 --> 02:10:58,760
So, those are two, these obviously the trial and the work that Andy Carter did are two that

1359
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:05,800
I'm aware of, I expect that there are other pockets of data that you're aware of within

1360
02:11:05,800 --> 02:11:14,260
HSA and again it's sort of, what do you have readily available that you can use to describe

1361
02:11:14,260 --> 02:11:20,260
more fully our populations and our districts. Thank you.

1362
02:11:21,220 --> 02:11:27,600
If you want to mention that on page nine there is a breakdown of the document that you have.

1363
02:11:28,500 --> 02:11:32,980
Of the survey respondents within each of the subcodes in areas of the county.

1364
02:11:33,620 --> 02:11:37,020
And that we ever see what numbers we have within our survey.

1365
02:11:39,100 --> 02:11:40,220
On page nine.

1366
02:11:56,220 --> 02:12:05,200
The green there is the survey results and blue is the Mariposa County population for each of those zip codes based on U.S. Census data.

1367
02:12:11,270 --> 02:12:15,110
Okay, well, that's definitely a start. Thank you.

1368
02:12:21,170 --> 02:12:24,550
Anything else before we let them go? Okay.

1369
02:12:25,510 --> 02:12:30,390
Erinder, Aaron, thank you very much. I was very very good presentation. Appreciate it.

1370
02:12:30,610 --> 02:12:33,670
And thanks for the entire assessment. Appreciate that too.

1371
02:12:33,990 --> 02:12:34,510
Thank you.

1372
02:12:35,110 --> 02:12:35,410
Okay.

1373
02:12:39,510 --> 02:12:46,190
This next item is also out of health and human services asking this board to approve the

1374
02:12:46,190 --> 02:12:53,050
allocation of one senior administrative analyst position and at the same time

1375
02:12:53,050 --> 02:13:00,250
eliminate one program administrator allocation in the health and human services agency

1376
02:13:00,250 --> 02:13:02,450
effective immediately.

1377
02:13:03,730 --> 02:13:04,490
Sydney?

1378
02:13:05,250 --> 02:13:05,730
Good morning.

1379
02:13:06,530 --> 02:13:06,970
Good.

1380
02:13:07,090 --> 02:13:07,490
How are you?

1381
02:13:07,590 --> 02:13:07,950
Good.

1382
02:13:07,950 --> 02:13:11,930
Thank you. Good morning board, County Council, CAO,

1383
02:13:12,290 --> 02:13:15,210
the Board, sitting for a Division Director of Human Services.

1384
02:13:16,470 --> 02:13:20,110
So yes, before you, we are bringing forward the

1385
02:13:20,110 --> 02:13:23,850
approved the allocation of one senior administrative analyst with

1386
02:13:23,850 --> 02:13:27,690
Health and Human Services and eliminate a program administrator position.

1387
02:13:28,110 --> 02:13:31,930
The program administrator position was previously in support of

1388
02:13:31,930 --> 02:13:36,310
within our administration division and due to restructure.

1389
02:13:36,310 --> 02:13:39,270
We are no longer in need of that position.

1390
02:13:39,830 --> 02:13:45,210
However, we have identified a need due to our increase in our public health and behavioral

1391
02:13:45,210 --> 02:13:46,350
health clinic times.

1392
02:13:46,550 --> 02:13:51,930
We are now increasing the days available for services from two days to three days.

1393
02:13:52,430 --> 02:13:56,750
And with that, we've identified the need for a clinic manager, which would fit within the senior

1394
02:13:56,750 --> 02:13:58,370
administrative analyst position.

1395
02:13:58,930 --> 02:14:04,510
And we are requesting that that be approved, so that the duties are not inappropriately

1396
02:14:04,510 --> 02:14:06,030
being placed on other staff.

1397
02:14:09,600 --> 02:14:12,180
Okay. Any questions for I go to public comment?

1398
02:14:13,520 --> 02:14:15,360
Okay, let me take some public comment on this.

1399
02:14:15,460 --> 02:14:16,640
And again, if you're on the phone line,

1400
02:14:17,320 --> 02:14:19,620
star five, is there any public comment on this item?

1401
02:14:23,980 --> 02:14:25,540
Not on the phone, not on the room,

1402
02:14:25,760 --> 02:14:26,960
close public comment.

1403
02:14:28,120 --> 02:14:29,080
Supervisor Tosso.

1404
02:14:30,340 --> 02:14:32,820
If there are no questions or comments,

1405
02:14:33,760 --> 02:14:37,100
I would move to approve the allocation of one senior administrative

1406
02:14:37,100 --> 02:14:40,620
administrative analyst position and eliminate one program administrator

1407
02:14:40,620 --> 02:14:45,120
allocation in the health and human services agency effective immediately

1408
02:14:46,260 --> 02:14:48,720
and i'll second emotion thank you

1409
02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:49,500
then move

1410
02:14:49,500 --> 02:14:50,780
uh... okay

1411
02:14:50,780 --> 02:14:53,360
you know it breaks my heart to see the dog die

1412
02:14:59,150 --> 02:14:59,970
has been moved in

1413
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:14,380
I can do that we approve this allocation, this item as presented, all in favor say aye. Aye. Any pose? Any abstain? And the allocation and the

1414
02:15:14,380 --> 02:15:17,060
eliminations approved unanimously. Thank you, Sydney.

1415
02:15:19,520 --> 02:15:22,060
Okay, item number four. This is out of

1416
02:15:22,060 --> 02:15:28,440
administration, asking this board to approve a side letter between the Mariposa County, between

1417
02:15:28,440 --> 02:15:33,060
the county of Mariposa, and the Mariposa County Managerial

1418
02:15:33,060 --> 02:15:42,300
Confidential Organization, AFSC in the E local, 2703 to increase the

1419
02:15:42,300 --> 02:15:46,840
longevity bonus intended to be in the memorandum of understanding

1420
02:15:46,840 --> 02:15:55,300
from November 1st, 2023 to October 31st, 2025, effective August 1st,

1421
02:15:55,300 --> 02:15:56,260
2024.

1422
02:15:58,630 --> 02:16:00,130
Who's got this? Chris?

1423
02:16:02,340 --> 02:16:07,760
Good morning, Board. Chris Furbrish, HR, Senior Administrative

1424
02:16:07,760 --> 02:16:13,640
Analyst. So I won't get into the details too much about this other than it was what happened

1425
02:16:13,640 --> 02:16:21,160
with the new MOU agreement. There was a 5% increase in what we call longevity payer, longevity

1426
02:16:21,160 --> 02:16:29,040
bonus, and it's that type of pay occurs once every say five years. I believe the first

1427
02:16:29,040 --> 02:16:35,680
level is 10 years than 15 and it goes up to I think possibly 25.

1428
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:40,580
But it's just a 5% increase

1429
02:16:40,580 --> 02:16:44,680
that was an oversight and that's about it.

1430
02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:52,930
Okay, we questions from the board. Is there any

1431
02:16:52,930 --> 02:16:58,150
public comment on this item. Again, if you're on the phone, start 5.

1432
02:16:59,630 --> 02:17:05,410
We need to recognize no public comment in the room. No injuries on the phone.

1433
02:17:05,430 --> 02:17:06,810
I'll bring it back to the board.

1434
02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:12,820
Professor, welcome.

1435
02:17:13,740 --> 02:17:16,340
I don't have any questions or comments if no one else does.

1436
02:17:16,560 --> 02:17:20,620
I will move that we approve a side letter between the county of Mariposa and the Mariposa

1437
02:17:20,620 --> 02:17:25,760
County managerial confidential organization to increase the longevity bonus.

1438
02:17:27,630 --> 02:17:29,210
And I will second the motion.

1439
02:17:29,570 --> 02:17:30,450
Thank you.

1440
02:17:30,550 --> 02:17:30,750
Okay.

1441
02:17:30,830 --> 02:17:33,630
It's been moved in seconded that we approve this side letter.

1442
02:17:34,330 --> 02:17:35,110
All in favor?

1443
02:17:35,370 --> 02:17:35,930
Say aye.

1444
02:17:36,990 --> 02:17:37,830
Any opposed?

1445
02:17:39,030 --> 02:17:39,790
Any abstain?

1446
02:17:41,010 --> 02:17:42,630
And the side letter is approved unanimously.

1447
02:17:42,870 --> 02:17:43,570
Thank you, Chris.

1448
02:17:44,830 --> 02:17:44,970
Okay.

1449
02:17:45,430 --> 02:17:46,130
Board information.

1450
02:17:48,290 --> 02:17:50,010
Anybody got anything for the good of the order here?

1451
02:17:50,810 --> 02:17:51,470
Just real quickly.

1452
02:17:51,690 --> 02:17:56,130
I just want to emphasize what Katie from Mountain Crisis mentioned that they're.

1453
02:17:56,130 --> 02:18:05,590
take back the night is tomorrow night, August 2nd, and I think it starts at 5, 3rd.

1454
02:18:05,950 --> 02:18:07,490
Yep, yep, no crisis.

1455
02:18:08,510 --> 02:18:10,590
So please be there to show your support.

1456
02:18:13,180 --> 02:18:15,420
I had a couple of things that I wanted to bring up.

1457
02:18:15,420 --> 02:18:23,320
One is that we had our big thing in North County this weekend, the coyote fast and was a phenomenal event.

1458
02:18:23,320 --> 02:18:30,260
great turnout and I actually got to be a for the first time ever in my life a judge in the

1459
02:18:30,260 --> 02:18:39,960
car show and that was absolutely gonna be memorable for me. It was so much fun but public works

1460
02:18:39,960 --> 02:18:45,460
Sheriff's Office, Cal Fire was there everybody and I just wanted to say thank you to all of those

1461
02:18:45,460 --> 02:18:52,840
groups and for everything that they did and most may recall that we had a pretty devastating

1462
02:18:52,840 --> 02:19:00,060
fire and colderville a few months ago where we lost six trailers and one of our residents.

1463
02:19:01,200 --> 02:19:07,820
And I am proud to say, although it has been an awful lot of work, we are probably about

1464
02:19:07,820 --> 02:19:15,800
a week, we can have a way from bringing those people home and the community came together.

1465
02:19:15,800 --> 02:19:25,540
a lot of volunteers, a lot of nonprofits, and donations replaced all of the homes for them.

1466
02:19:26,400 --> 02:19:34,200
And we are literally days away from the final step, which is the soil testing to be completed

1467
02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:40,180
in the results, and once we get that done, these people get it come home, so it's been

1468
02:19:40,180 --> 02:19:47,620
heck of a thing and a lot of folks involved. It's not the county's responsibility to do that or to

1469
02:19:47,620 --> 02:19:54,600
do anything about that, but not a lot of people stepped up and will do some kind of an acknowledgement

1470
02:19:54,600 --> 02:20:05,020
on that. The last thing I wanted to mention here is I tended to park service meeting some of you

1471
02:20:05,020 --> 02:20:10,160
me know about that just recently in Groville and a couple of weeks ago and I got to say

1472
02:20:10,160 --> 02:20:13,800
I'm pretty disappointed in how the whole meeting got presented.

1473
02:20:15,660 --> 02:20:22,540
It was basically the part service was talking about the impacts that it's had on the gateway

1474
02:20:22,540 --> 02:20:23,080
communities.

1475
02:20:23,280 --> 02:20:30,760
We're one to all of me as another as well as some other counties, but they portrayed it

1476
02:20:30,760 --> 02:20:35,980
you're going to get up and go and ask questions kind of like this venue and that was not the

1477
02:20:35,980 --> 02:20:40,860
case. They came up with four solutions and you basically had to pick one and none of them were

1478
02:20:40,860 --> 02:20:48,300
really something that I like. It caught the attention of Tualami County supervisors, their board,

1479
02:20:49,180 --> 02:20:57,060
which they have now passed. I don't know what you would call that, but basically a resolution

1480
02:20:57,060 --> 02:20:59,880
and disagreeing with what the Park Service has done.

1481
02:20:59,980 --> 02:21:03,020
And I want to put that on our radar here.

1482
02:21:03,500 --> 02:21:06,340
I have got a meeting this afternoon with one

1483
02:21:06,340 --> 02:21:09,820
of the supervisors in Tualme County, whom I know quite well,

1484
02:21:10,440 --> 02:21:13,580
to get there and put on it.

1485
02:21:13,820 --> 02:21:17,260
I know, Joe and I worked on this a little bit

1486
02:21:17,260 --> 02:21:21,140
as well as I met with Carrie from the Chamber

1487
02:21:21,140 --> 02:21:26,440
and Jacob, the Visitor Center, and looked at all

1488
02:21:26,440 --> 02:21:30,780
of the data as far as has it heard us or helped us,

1489
02:21:31,040 --> 02:21:33,260
has it impacted us as a negative positive.

1490
02:21:34,080 --> 02:21:35,720
And it's, I got to be honest with you,

1491
02:21:35,960 --> 02:21:38,420
it's hard to disseminate that because, well,

1492
02:21:39,040 --> 02:21:42,300
our revenue was up in top taxes,

1493
02:21:43,440 --> 02:21:46,320
our top funding, the traffic was way down.

1494
02:21:46,380 --> 02:21:49,960
So I don't know, but I guess my point is,

1495
02:21:50,100 --> 02:21:52,080
and with that I wanted to bring up here,

1496
02:21:52,640 --> 02:21:55,200
is they don't really seem to address what I see

1497
02:21:55,200 --> 02:22:02,100
the core of the issue here, and that is the traffic. If that's their goal here with the

1498
02:22:02,100 --> 02:22:09,880
Reservation System is reducing traffic. There's other solutions for that, you know, parking

1499
02:22:09,880 --> 02:22:16,440
facility and busing people in, and I don't think we're stricting or limiting the number of people

1500
02:22:16,440 --> 02:22:23,820
that get to visit this jewel that we have in our backyard is necessarily, in my opinion, the right answer.

1501
02:22:23,820 --> 02:22:29,280
So I don't know what is, but I just hope that maybe the board would.

1502
02:22:42,060 --> 02:22:52,340
I'm happy to have that conversation. I've actually spent a fair amount of time going through the background information through the vamp itself, the visitor access management plan.

1503
02:22:52,340 --> 02:23:00,840
I, my husband and I also attended every workshop except one, he had a heart attack the day before.

1504
02:23:01,480 --> 02:23:08,100
Workshop for the Merced River Plan, and I'll note that the Merced River Plan, also talked about capacity,

1505
02:23:08,880 --> 02:23:16,360
as did the Tualami River Plan. So there is an end-the-management plan of 1980. There is a huge amount of data

1506
02:23:16,360 --> 02:23:22,960
that underlies the work that's been done in the context of the visitor access management plan.

1507
02:23:23,420 --> 02:23:45,420
And I'd have to go back in time, and maybe talk with somebody at the park, but they also brought in a consultant at one point in time to analyze the implications of changes, potential changes at that time in visitor access in terms of the economies of the surrounding communities.

1508
02:23:45,420 --> 02:23:53,240
So there's a huge amount of data out there and I'm happy to work with you to bring any and all of it forward.

1509
02:23:57,240 --> 02:23:59,320
I'm Marina, there's a hat under your chair.

1510
02:24:00,840 --> 02:24:01,960
Okay, all right.

1511
02:24:02,320 --> 02:24:03,020
Good deal.

1512
02:24:03,740 --> 02:24:05,900
Didn't want you to get sun in your eyes out there.

1513
02:24:07,880 --> 02:24:08,380
Okay.

1514
02:24:10,060 --> 02:24:10,460
All right.

1515
02:24:11,780 --> 02:24:12,160
We good.

1516
02:24:12,820 --> 02:24:13,560
Moving on.

1517
02:24:15,600 --> 02:24:18,260
We're going to recess into closed session.

1518
02:24:18,260 --> 02:24:21,400
We've got two items to talk about in closed session.

1519
02:24:21,460 --> 02:24:24,100
The first one is out of administration.

1520
02:24:24,700 --> 02:24:27,760
This is a closed session conference with a labor

1521
02:24:27,760 --> 02:24:31,000
negotiator, Mariposa County Designated Representative,

1522
02:24:31,240 --> 02:24:34,620
is Shalene Bennett, the Employee Organizations,

1523
02:24:34,800 --> 02:24:37,460
is the Mariposa County Sheriff's Association,

1524
02:24:38,060 --> 02:24:43,240
and the Mariposa County Sheriff's Management Association.

1525
02:24:43,880 --> 02:24:45,920
Any public comment on this item?

1526
02:24:46,740 --> 02:24:49,500
Again, if you're on the phone, star 5,

1527
02:24:53,790 --> 02:24:55,670
no public comments, so we'll close public comment

1528
02:24:55,670 --> 02:24:56,430
on that item.

1529
02:24:57,130 --> 02:25:00,030
The second item is from the Board of Supervisors.

1530
02:25:00,650 --> 02:25:03,090
This closed session item is public employment.

1531
02:25:03,830 --> 02:25:06,710
The title of the position to be filled is the county council.

1532
02:25:07,510 --> 02:25:09,190
Any public comment on this item?

1533
02:25:12,630 --> 02:25:14,270
Star 5, if you're on the phone.

1534
02:25:16,330 --> 02:25:19,010
Okay, no public comment, I'll close public comment.

1535
02:25:19,010 --> 02:25:26,170
And we will recess into closed session. I will report out when we reconvene at 2 p.m.

1536
02:25:26,470 --> 02:25:27,130
We are in recess.

1537
02:27:42,590 --> 02:27:49,650
Okay, good afternoon. We'll reconvene the Board of Supervisors meeting and I will report

1538
02:27:49,650 --> 02:27:57,650
out on our closed sessions before we get into our agenda this afternoon on the first item,

1539
02:27:57,650 --> 02:28:02,150
which was a closed session conference with the Labor Negotiator.

1540
02:28:02,990 --> 02:28:04,550
Information was received.

1541
02:28:04,850 --> 02:28:05,870
Direction was given.

1542
02:28:06,970 --> 02:28:10,170
On the second item in closed sessions was public employment.

1543
02:28:10,950 --> 02:28:12,770
Title of position to be filled.

1544
02:28:13,810 --> 02:28:15,970
Information was received and direction was given.

1545
02:28:17,630 --> 02:28:17,810
Okay.

1546
02:28:18,930 --> 02:28:20,470
We got one item this afternoon.

1547
02:28:26,610 --> 02:28:28,950
This is from the Planning Department.

1548
02:28:29,870 --> 02:28:32,830
You want me to read it, or shall I just save that for you?

1549
02:28:35,320 --> 02:28:41,600
Asking this board to authorize the county of Mariposa to join a statewide community infrastructure

1550
02:28:41,600 --> 02:28:42,500
program.

1551
02:28:43,580 --> 02:28:49,280
Authorize the California statewide community's development authority to accept applications

1552
02:28:49,280 --> 02:28:56,300
from property owners, conduct special assessment proceedings, and levees assessments and special

1553
02:28:56,300 --> 02:29:03,100
taxes to form assessment districts and community facilities districts within the territory

1554
02:29:03,100 --> 02:29:05,100
of the county of Maraposa.

1555
02:29:06,020 --> 02:29:11,360
Embodying a joint community facilities agreement, setting forth the terms and conditions

1556
02:29:11,930 --> 02:29:19,580
of community facilities district financeings, approving form of acquisition agreement for

1557
02:29:19,580 --> 02:29:24,280
use when applicable and authorized-related actions.

1558
02:29:26,940 --> 02:29:30,700
Good afternoon board, ladies and gentlemen,

1559
02:29:33,490 --> 02:29:35,770
thank you for hearing this item, considering this

1560
02:29:35,770 --> 02:29:36,090
item.

1561
02:29:36,450 --> 02:29:40,110
The planning department wanted to just bring this item to the board for a consideration

1562
02:29:40,110 --> 02:29:45,490
because it looks as though to us that there is an opportunity here that would be part

1563
02:29:45,490 --> 02:29:50,170
of a toolbox that would potentially assist with development when development comes in.

1564
02:29:50,370 --> 02:29:56,310
In fact, it covers certain aspects of projects such as a recent project, a high place project,

1565
02:29:56,310 --> 02:29:59,970
with there's a public facility sidewalk is it?

1566
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:26,320
Part of that project. And so, today we have, with us, will is going to take the lead on this, and we have the representative James Hamilton. He's from the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program. And so, there's a little presentation and just to go over a little bit, go through the presentation and go to some questions and answers, and would like to gather your input on this. And so, that being said, well.

1567
02:30:27,180 --> 02:30:32,100
You all just pass it right to James from C.S.C.D.A. James, you own the line?

1568
02:30:33,240 --> 02:30:33,580
Hi.

1569
02:30:33,800 --> 02:30:34,240
I'm getting hearing.

1570
02:30:34,800 --> 02:30:35,680
Yeah, we sure can.

1571
02:30:36,480 --> 02:30:36,680
Okay.

1572
02:30:36,880 --> 02:30:37,500
First, thanks well.

1573
02:30:37,800 --> 02:30:38,620
And a good afternoon, Chair.

1574
02:30:38,760 --> 02:30:39,340
My name is Edward.

1575
02:30:39,900 --> 02:30:42,160
As I mentioned, my name is James Hamel.

1576
02:30:42,240 --> 02:30:44,400
I'm a managing director with decals on it.

1577
02:30:44,480 --> 02:30:45,280
Statewide Communities.

1578
02:30:45,360 --> 02:30:46,040
Development Authority.

1579
02:30:46,820 --> 02:30:54,900
I just have a couple brief slides today on the program to give you a little background.

1580
02:30:54,900 --> 02:31:02,120
the California Statewide Community Development Authority or CSEDA or joint powers authority

1581
02:31:02,120 --> 02:31:09,400
that the county is a member to actually, you're one of the original members in 1988 in August

1582
02:31:09,400 --> 02:31:16,140
to 1988 that joined CSEDA and we're at joint powers authority that was founded by the state and

1583
02:31:16,140 --> 02:31:22,780
so state association counties in the New York California cities. As mentioned back in 1988,

1584
02:31:22,780 --> 02:31:28,200
we have over 500 and 30 members of the city's counties and districts. They wanted.

1585
02:31:29,560 --> 02:31:36,000
And the county has participated in work with CACBA for anyone that was around in 2009.

1586
02:31:36,920 --> 02:31:42,880
We did the proposition one, ACE curvisation one state was taking away revenues from all

1587
02:31:42,880 --> 02:31:49,300
latencies and we secured ties, those receivables for the county and other agencies across the state.

1588
02:31:49,300 --> 02:31:56,160
So that's a little background of who we are looking at slide one in terms of what this program is.

1589
02:31:56,620 --> 02:32:02,680
As mentioned, it's called the statewide community infrastructure program or skip as we call it.

1590
02:32:03,360 --> 02:32:12,300
We have 130 cities, counties, and special districts who are participants in the program and I'll get into a little bit more detail on who those are.

1591
02:32:12,300 --> 02:32:41,600
across the state. As you can see, we have two programs. One is a pool program. We do three times a year, where we take projects all across the state ranging in size from 500,000 to about 2 to 3 million and pool those together for cost efficiencies and economic efficiencies for this because those types of projects would not have access to this type of financing.

1592
02:32:42,300 --> 02:32:43,840
without doing a pool structure.

1593
02:32:44,440 --> 02:32:46,640
So that's one program under the umbrella.

1594
02:32:47,800 --> 02:32:50,460
Number two, if there's a larger project,

1595
02:32:50,620 --> 02:32:53,820
five million in a bug, we can do it

1596
02:32:53,820 --> 02:32:57,000
as a standalone financing for the county

1597
02:32:57,000 --> 02:32:59,740
and we've done that for other agencies that across the state.

1598
02:33:00,620 --> 02:33:02,200
Since the inception of the program,

1599
02:33:03,160 --> 02:33:05,780
we've issued a little bit over one billion in bonds

1600
02:33:05,780 --> 02:33:09,300
for 380 plus projects across the state

1601
02:33:10,560 --> 02:33:13,760
throughout the State California next slide, please.

1602
02:33:16,480 --> 02:33:19,620
So in terms of the program benefits,

1603
02:33:19,720 --> 02:33:22,240
number one, what is the benefit of the county?

1604
02:33:22,940 --> 02:33:27,800
As mentioned briefly, this is a tool in your toolbox

1605
02:33:27,800 --> 02:33:31,280
that you can offer to development that comes in.

1606
02:33:31,320 --> 02:33:34,000
It can be used for commercial industrial

1607
02:33:34,000 --> 02:33:35,760
and residential development.

1608
02:33:37,080 --> 02:33:43,400
And they can, you can offer this as a financing tool for any type of facilities, impacts,

1609
02:33:44,320 --> 02:33:48,580
fees, or improvements that are required of an approval of a project itself.

1610
02:33:49,340 --> 02:33:55,100
As developers like this project, because it helps the cash flow when they're doing construction,

1611
02:33:56,320 --> 02:33:57,860
it's off-balance sheet.

1612
02:33:57,980 --> 02:34:01,780
So it's not part of the debt, and, and, and again, a proof of cash flow.

1613
02:34:01,780 --> 02:34:09,120
And on the residential side, it can provide competitive advantages for pricing on homes.

1614
02:34:10,740 --> 02:34:17,680
If you go to the next slide, this is a map of all the different agencies across the state.

1615
02:34:18,540 --> 02:34:26,560
That I'll participate in the program, you see a large cluster in Northern California and Southern California with this matter in Central California.

1616
02:34:26,560 --> 02:34:32,460
There's a Levin County who are participating in other counties participating in the program

1617
02:34:32,460 --> 02:34:40,780
that include a few county, El Dorado County, Imperial County, Placer County, Sutter County,

1618
02:34:40,920 --> 02:34:48,560
U-book County, and then Riverside County, San Diego County in Sonoma County, just to name a few of those.

1619
02:34:49,380 --> 02:34:55,880
So, 11 counties doing it and then a whole bunch of cities and districts as you can see by this list here.

1620
02:34:56,820 --> 02:35:05,220
Next slide, in terms of how the mechanics work and this is probably the most important to you as a board.

1621
02:35:06,620 --> 02:35:14,040
So, as I mentioned, this is for projects on the lower end at 500,000 to on the larger end of 5 million.

1622
02:35:14,040 --> 02:35:22,380
The advantage to the county option into this program is from basically start to finish

1623
02:35:22,380 --> 02:35:26,340
we see SGA form the assessment district.

1624
02:35:26,620 --> 02:35:31,660
We issue the bonds for the district and we do all post fail administration.

1625
02:35:32,980 --> 02:35:37,100
So when these bonds are issued, they're placed on the tax roll.

1626
02:35:37,240 --> 02:35:41,800
They're paid over 30 years by the property owner or owners.

1627
02:35:41,800 --> 02:35:48,520
If that property is sold, and on the property tax roll, it states specifically, our name,

1628
02:35:48,740 --> 02:35:54,340
the CSEDA skip 2024, and then our phone number.

1629
02:35:54,680 --> 02:35:58,280
So you as a county, do not receive phone calls as to what is this.

1630
02:35:58,340 --> 02:36:04,820
Why is this here, and there is no liability for those bonds that are issued on that property itself.

1631
02:36:05,380 --> 02:36:11,080
So from a staffing perspective perspective, the county, it helps because we are taking over

1632
02:36:11,080 --> 02:36:17,620
that from start to finish, including holding all the public hearings and, as mentioned, all the

1633
02:36:17,620 --> 02:36:19,900
all the sample demonstration of the projects.

1634
02:36:20,760 --> 02:36:21,620
Next slide, please.

1635
02:36:23,520 --> 02:36:31,660
And lastly, this is just a flow chart of how this works from start to finish is the first

1636
02:36:31,660 --> 02:36:40,020
step is the agency, in this case, the county, adopting the resolution to participate in the

1637
02:36:40,020 --> 02:36:47,600
program. Then when an IF and application is received from a developer, we conduct all the proceedings,

1638
02:36:47,980 --> 02:36:53,880
we issue the bonds, we administer the district as you move down. We will handle the tax roll,

1639
02:36:54,160 --> 02:37:00,640
a lot to play any delinquencies, so on and so forth. And then the bond payments are paid by the

1640
02:37:00,640 --> 02:37:09,160
property owner itself. Now, lastly, before jumping into questions, you know, the question we get a lot

1641
02:37:10,020 --> 02:37:17,020
does this take away authority or powers from the county to make decisions on to participate

1642
02:37:17,020 --> 02:37:25,840
in this program and answer is no, whenever we receive an application, we come to the county

1643
02:37:25,840 --> 02:37:29,860
in this case, and you have to sign off as a county knows.

1644
02:37:30,000 --> 02:37:56,840
Board, but from a staff level on every application to move forward. If you decide not to move forward, this is a project that does not want to proceed. We see a CDA will not proceed because we are doing this on your behalf. So it does not take any authority or power away from the county itself. So I hear a lot out there. Happy to answer any questions. And if we'll or others want to fill in any blanks, I may have missed happy to defer.

1645
02:38:01,510 --> 02:38:02,910
All right. Thank you, James.

1646
02:38:06,020 --> 02:38:08,480
Any questions right off the bat before I go to public comment?

1647
02:38:09,340 --> 02:38:11,340
Do you got anybody on the phone besides James? Okay.

1648
02:38:12,500 --> 02:38:17,400
If you're on the phone line, would like to make a public comment on this presentation or program.

1649
02:38:18,180 --> 02:38:23,320
Star 5, we can get you recognized. Is there any public comment here in the boardroom?

1650
02:38:28,810 --> 02:38:32,870
I'm going to see any. In the boardroom, I don't see any hands raised online.

1651
02:38:33,550 --> 02:38:35,530
Okay, we'll close public comment,

1652
02:38:37,610 --> 02:38:40,210
bring it back to the board,

1653
02:38:43,210 --> 02:38:46,730
if no one else wants to go, I got a couple of questions written down here.

1654
02:38:47,490 --> 02:39:01,990
Okay, so I'm curious, this was a lot to absorb this item and the presentation was nice and concise, but let's just start with a couple.

1655
02:39:01,990 --> 02:39:09,130
So, what's the, how does the fine, I got so many questions, I don't know where to start.

1656
02:39:09,190 --> 02:39:12,190
Let's start with the financing terms. How does that work?

1657
02:39:15,090 --> 02:39:18,830
So, it's a 30, 30 year financing. It's a fixed rate financing.

1658
02:39:20,030 --> 02:39:27,430
So, in today's market, we're issuing bonds at about 4.7% fixed for 30 years.

1659
02:39:28,110 --> 02:39:35,870
and it is it is pre-payable. So if it's done on the residential property, if a homeowner does not,

1660
02:39:36,010 --> 02:39:42,330
if they put the home down the line in your five to 15, 20, and don't want to pay it for the additional

1661
02:39:42,330 --> 02:39:46,990
years that's on there, they can't repay them on that.

1662
02:39:49,580 --> 02:39:51,960
Okay, I didn't quite get all that. So you said

1663
02:39:52,540 --> 02:40:00,960
so if a property owner, if you did a construction loan through this murder room. No, they can if they

1664
02:40:01,700 --> 02:40:10,300
If they want to pre-pay it at any point in time, they can pre-pay instead of keeping this on the property tax for 30 years.

1665
02:40:11,160 --> 02:40:14,960
Yeah, pre-pay the financing for a construction loan?

1666
02:40:16,000 --> 02:40:21,280
Not for a construction loan for any reason if they just didn't want the debt on the property.

1667
02:40:22,800 --> 02:40:27,040
Okay, how did they get the debt on the property to begin with, I guess, is what I'm driving at?

1668
02:40:27,820 --> 02:40:33,240
because this will be an assessment or a special tax vote for financing the impact

1669
02:40:33,240 --> 02:40:40,480
and or improvements associated with the development that this program would be used for.

1670
02:40:41,160 --> 02:40:48,220
So a real life example would be for a hotel if they needed to put it in a road for sidewalks,

1671
02:40:48,940 --> 02:40:52,420
and had to find the answer, they can find the answer,

1672
02:40:52,560 --> 02:40:55,880
instead of paying cash, they would find the answer over 30 years

1673
02:40:55,880 --> 02:40:57,680
through the finance and mechanism.

1674
02:40:58,760 --> 02:41:01,680
Okay, so this isn't gonna work for a property owner

1675
02:41:01,680 --> 02:41:03,840
in the sense of a single family dwelling.

1676
02:41:05,500 --> 02:41:08,280
Not for one home, it can work for typically

1677
02:41:08,280 --> 02:41:11,560
we see residential developments of a hundred or more,

1678
02:41:11,760 --> 02:41:15,560
but it's not for a one or two or five residents.

1679
02:41:16,440 --> 02:41:26,220
Okay, and then let me get to my staff report here, so this

1680
02:41:28,430 --> 02:41:34,730
description here says, accept applications from property owners.

1681
02:41:35,090 --> 02:41:35,750
Is that us?

1682
02:41:35,870 --> 02:41:37,450
The county accepts these applications.

1683
02:41:40,030 --> 02:41:40,610
And then we can.

1684
02:41:40,690 --> 02:41:40,890
No.

1685
02:41:41,690 --> 02:41:50,890
Actually, we see a CDX, we have not my application, a developer would fill out for the program.

1686
02:41:51,250 --> 02:41:56,270
But James, it is correct that we would then approve those applications that the county of course institutions.

1687
02:41:57,290 --> 02:42:00,230
That is correct, yes. So we get the application.

1688
02:42:01,110 --> 02:42:07,750
We do our due diligence to make sure number one the project qualifies number two everything is correct.

1689
02:42:07,750 --> 02:42:17,850
And then we come to the county and we cannot move forward with any financing without the county signing that application to move forward.

1690
02:42:19,450 --> 02:42:23,750
And then who who conducts the Special Assessment Proceeding?

1691
02:42:24,790 --> 02:42:26,610
We see a CDA do.

1692
02:42:27,630 --> 02:42:30,310
And then you let me the assessment. Special taxes.

1693
02:42:31,650 --> 02:42:32,270
That's correct.

1694
02:42:32,930 --> 02:42:35,050
And if you form the assessment district.

1695
02:42:36,550 --> 02:42:37,030
Correct.

1696
02:42:37,750 --> 02:42:41,450
and the Community Facilities Districts.

1697
02:42:41,450 --> 02:42:41,670
All right.

1698
02:42:42,710 --> 02:42:45,990
So then I'm curious, is it so other than approving

1699
02:42:45,990 --> 02:42:51,810
an application, what part does the county play in this?

1700
02:42:52,290 --> 02:42:54,030
No, Adley Moot.

1701
02:42:54,550 --> 02:42:58,010
Jamesia, the county would create the conditions with the developers

1702
02:42:58,010 --> 02:42:59,850
say, hey, you need to build that sidewalk

1703
02:42:59,850 --> 02:43:00,990
as part of your project.

1704
02:43:01,530 --> 02:43:03,350
You need to have exit improvements.

1705
02:43:03,350 --> 02:43:11,590
So the county up front is creating those conditions, and that's what's getting financed as part of this project, or part of this program.

1706
02:43:13,610 --> 02:43:24,810
So we're not going to have any other staff time involved with this process other than telling the developer what they have to do to meet the conditions of development.

1707
02:43:25,210 --> 02:43:28,070
Which is an existing part of the process.

1708
02:43:30,490 --> 02:43:37,950
And the only other, the only other staff time, it would be confirming that application and everything is correct.

1709
02:43:39,370 --> 02:43:46,270
And if there are improvements when the county accepts those improvements, just accepting those improvements accordingly.

1710
02:43:46,770 --> 02:43:49,290
But that's all part of that process that you would have to do anyway.

1711
02:43:50,190 --> 02:43:54,070
So I guess what I'm missing is if this is a state program.

1712
02:43:54,650 --> 02:43:59,410
and it's all handled by the state. Why does another developer just go to you? Why does it

1713
02:43:59,410 --> 02:44:06,010
have to go through us? We're actually not part of the state. We are joined powers authority

1714
02:44:06,850 --> 02:44:15,330
and in order for us to have the powers to levying assessment within your county. We can only do

1715
02:44:15,330 --> 02:44:22,870
that with EU authorization. So we can't, we can't you serve your powers. So the reason we come to you

1716
02:44:22,870 --> 02:44:28,750
In this case, it's for you to authorize this program for us to do this to move forward.

1717
02:44:29,250 --> 02:44:29,530
I see.

1718
02:44:30,690 --> 02:44:30,870
Okay.

1719
02:44:34,010 --> 02:44:34,530
All right.

1720
02:44:37,700 --> 02:44:44,460
So, to answer, I think it might be helpful for you to lay out examples of some projects that you have

1721
02:44:44,460 --> 02:44:55,440
for financing for mother counties so that we can think about how those examples might relate to what we're

1722
02:44:56,960 --> 02:44:59,960
I think probably for the county, I mean, week.

1723
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:29,980
We do, as I briefly mentioned, we do residential, commercial, industrial, and part of that commercial, it's hospitality. So we have done hotel projects where part of the project will mention, maybe you construct a road to do an ingress egress type of financing to do landscaping and to pay impact fees that are associated with that project.

1724
02:45:29,980 --> 02:45:37,580
project or project. That would probably be the most applicable to the county. As I mentioned before,

1725
02:45:38,760 --> 02:45:44,940
residential, it's usually, you know, 100 units or more are using this program, which I wouldn't

1726
02:45:44,940 --> 02:45:51,510
anticipate, you have large swaths of projects up there. In that large scale, so I would have

1727
02:45:51,510 --> 02:45:59,610
business being industrial and probably commercial for that, but mostly what we've seen other

1728
02:45:59,610 --> 02:46:04,490
areas using it for is hospitality type of type of finance.

1729
02:46:06,880 --> 02:46:15,200
So, when you say hospitality type of financing, I guess first of all I am not aware that we are

1730
02:46:15,200 --> 02:46:17,280
currently charging impact fees.

1731
02:46:20,930 --> 02:46:25,690
I have, I'm correct, okay, thank you.

1732
02:46:25,710 --> 02:46:29,250
We would have conditions to a project where, you know,

1733
02:46:29,810 --> 02:46:32,150
the developer has to build something that, you know,

1734
02:46:32,330 --> 02:46:33,430
that would be a public benefit.

1735
02:46:33,930 --> 02:46:36,470
So it's not an impact fee, but there's a sidewalk.

1736
02:46:36,930 --> 02:46:37,790
There's fencing.

1737
02:46:38,190 --> 02:46:41,370
There's, you know, that could add up to the half million dollars.

1738
02:46:41,890 --> 02:46:44,170
That is a minimum for this.

1739
02:46:44,210 --> 02:46:44,930
Right, right.

1740
02:46:45,250 --> 02:46:46,770
So, so we don't have impact fee.

1741
02:46:47,070 --> 02:46:48,690
So, I understand what you're saying,

1742
02:46:48,690 --> 02:46:56,410
that we could as a condition of approval of a proposed project, say that we want you to

1743
02:46:56,410 --> 02:47:04,410
extend an existing sewer line, let's say, because we have a longer term plan for some

1744
02:47:04,410 --> 02:47:14,110
housing, maybe in an adjacent area. And so that would become the basis for the financing

1745
02:47:14,110 --> 02:47:22,170
here. Because hospitality, I'm thinking if you're building a hotel, you've got a whole lot

1746
02:47:22,170 --> 02:47:31,050
of financing that you are pulling together to be able to finance your project. So this is

1747
02:47:31,050 --> 02:47:39,990
specifically targeted at, and it sounds like a statement, but it's a question. This is specifically

1748
02:47:39,990 --> 02:47:46,050
targeted at situations where the county is imposing an addition, a requirement over and

1749
02:47:46,050 --> 02:47:53,750
above that which the let's say the hospitality company might usually include in their normal

1750
02:47:53,750 --> 02:48:01,090
financing. Is that correct? That would be correct. That's what we see. And we see a lot of

1751
02:48:01,670 --> 02:48:07,670
cities, counties, and districts. They enter into development agreements as mentioned in part of

1752
02:48:07,670 --> 02:48:14,310
development agreements is that you have to do A, B, and C, and those are outside the context

1753
02:48:14,310 --> 02:48:19,910
of what their normal finance will be able to finance, and that's where this mechanism comes in.

1754
02:48:20,110 --> 02:48:30,170
I see. Okay, got it. All right, so this is an opportunity that developers for the different types

1755
02:48:30,170 --> 02:48:37,530
of projects that you mentioned, like residential and hospitality, it's another tool in the tool belt,

1756
02:48:37,670 --> 02:48:45,990
that would make Mariposa County competitive, at least with other counties that have the same option available.

1757
02:48:46,890 --> 02:48:48,530
Is that sort of the bottom line?

1758
02:48:49,270 --> 02:48:50,810
Yes, that's fair to say.

1759
02:48:51,170 --> 02:48:54,730
And again, it's a purely voluntary program.

1760
02:48:55,450 --> 02:48:58,350
So it's not something that has to be for every project.

1761
02:48:58,570 --> 02:49:02,670
It can be for certain projects, but it is something that can be offered,

1762
02:49:02,670 --> 02:49:12,670
And especially when you're putting won't be seen is when a county or city or district is putting conditions on that you have to do this that with the other.

1763
02:49:13,490 --> 02:49:21,450
And then they say and you have this program available finance it it's an easier conversation to have some move to project forward.

1764
02:49:22,030 --> 02:49:25,670
Right. Now that makes perfect sense. Okay. Thank you very much.

1765
02:49:28,610 --> 02:49:36,810
thank you for the presentation folks. A couple of questions here and I think it was

1766
02:49:36,810 --> 02:49:43,530
just covered is that the $500,000 in, well, I'd be a pretty expensive side walk,

1767
02:49:44,130 --> 02:49:50,550
but if it covers other fees or if it was a very substantial project, I guess I could see

1768
02:49:50,550 --> 02:49:51,090
that.

1769
02:49:53,110 --> 02:49:59,210
But I had a couple other questions kind of as it relates to that. Let's say that you've

1770
02:49:59,210 --> 02:50:08,510
got a developer that has multiple projects. Let's say he's got 330 unit apartment complexes. Can

1771
02:50:08,510 --> 02:50:13,790
you bundle those together? Can they develop bundle all three of those together?

1772
02:50:19,110 --> 02:50:20,530
If they're

1773
02:50:22,710 --> 02:50:24,670
How do you get funded?

1774
02:50:26,330 --> 02:50:35,510
We're self-funded, so we charge the fee and issuance fee and an administration fee for every

1775
02:50:35,510 --> 02:50:37,070
project you're going to be funded and we do.

1776
02:50:37,290 --> 02:50:38,630
What are the fees?

1777
02:50:38,990 --> 02:50:40,310
What is it an interest rate?

1778
02:50:40,610 --> 02:50:43,830
Is it based on the amount of the money and the percentage?

1779
02:50:44,390 --> 02:50:45,330
How does that work?

1780
02:50:45,330 --> 02:50:55,390
So it's 1% up front for the issuance fee and then it's 10 basis points as for an annual administration fee.

1781
02:50:55,390 --> 02:50:57,110
What happens if they don't pay?

1782
02:50:59,880 --> 02:51:05,640
We can foreclose on them if they don't pay.

1783
02:51:06,300 --> 02:51:09,780
Unfortunately we've got that point in the 23 years of the program.

1784
02:51:12,770 --> 02:51:13,390
Okay,

1785
02:51:15,430 --> 02:51:25,230
and the rates that you guys have are those the same rates that you had when you formed the JPA.

1786
02:51:26,940 --> 02:51:30,360
I think it's a baseball market condition.

1787
02:51:31,600 --> 02:51:33,460
So they've had the very beginning of the program.

1788
02:51:33,540 --> 02:51:42,500
They were closer to 8% based on market in today's market and they will go down based upon what we're seeing now in the marketplace.

1789
02:51:42,500 --> 02:51:46,480
You know, they're between 4.7, 4.8 right now.

1790
02:51:47,800 --> 02:51:55,740
And I didn't get a chance to spend a whole lot of time looking at the list that you've got here of the participating agencies.

1791
02:51:56,400 --> 02:52:03,500
Do you have other counties in here that are similar to Mariposa that have signed onto this?

1792
02:52:04,600 --> 02:52:04,860
Comparable.

1793
02:52:04,860 --> 02:52:08,700
The other, what would be, I mean, there's

1794
02:52:08,700 --> 02:52:10,540
huge county, Alderado County,

1795
02:52:10,940 --> 02:52:14,260
plaster county, Uvo County, and

1796
02:52:14,260 --> 02:52:17,300
Stutter County, who probably the most analogous.

1797
02:52:18,320 --> 02:52:19,260
Okay, all right.

1798
02:52:19,500 --> 02:52:20,400
Thank you.

1799
02:52:20,600 --> 02:52:23,420
Supervisor Poet, your two first question to an

1800
02:52:23,420 --> 02:52:26,740
exhibit, see, you'll see what's covered by the financing.

1801
02:52:27,520 --> 02:52:28,860
So there's quite a few categories,

1802
02:52:29,580 --> 02:52:29,980
transportation and water.

1803
02:52:30,000 --> 02:52:38,920
Our system was cycle water, drainage, wastewater, parkway improvements, so to get to that $500,000 minimum.

1804
02:52:45,960 --> 02:52:54,200
Thank you. My question is, are there any fees to the county if we decide to join, and this is a cost to county, anything at all?

1805
02:52:55,300 --> 02:53:00,780
No, there's no fees to the county at all, for participation, all fees are worn by the development or developer.

1806
02:53:01,620 --> 02:53:05,340
If there are in this piggyback, I think I want to do original questions.

1807
02:53:05,700 --> 02:53:12,880
If there is admin time, any admin time that is associated with your staff as we are moving through a financing.

1808
02:53:13,600 --> 02:53:18,200
You are able to charge back your time to be covered by the financing itself.

1809
02:53:18,200 --> 02:53:24,660
themselves. So there are cities, counties, and districts who will charge for their time

1810
02:53:24,660 --> 02:53:29,740
associated with it. Typically, you know, it's ranges on the low end for 2,500 to

1811
02:53:29,740 --> 02:53:31,700
on the high end, 10,000.

1812
02:53:34,470 --> 02:53:35,570
Thank you.

1813
02:53:37,760 --> 02:53:45,600
This is a supervisor, Forsyth. Who ensures the bonds that you're going to issue?

1814
02:53:46,840 --> 02:53:50,280
So there's no insurance there. These are land secured bonds.

1815
02:53:50,280 --> 02:53:59,300
So the land is the security for the bonds, so if they're in an issue with it, then we have

1816
02:53:59,300 --> 02:54:04,380
the ability to foreclose and the bond holders have the ability to foreclose on the property itself.

1817
02:54:04,580 --> 02:54:06,120
So that's the security for it.

1818
02:54:06,580 --> 02:54:08,400
So what's the downside for the county?

1819
02:54:11,500 --> 02:54:17,180
There are, I know it sounds too good to be true, but there really isn't a downside for the county

1820
02:54:17,180 --> 02:54:22,560
from what we've seen and we get that question on the time and we can't find one and we still

1821
02:54:29,860 --> 02:54:44,500
So James, I'm sure anybody that's listening to this and I read off levying assessments and special taxes, who's receiving the assessment and tax money.

1822
02:54:46,510 --> 02:54:53,070
The bondholders. So the way this works is we go out and sell bonds.

1823
02:54:53,810 --> 02:55:02,070
And then they're sold to investors, typically large municipal funds, like a new being or

1824
02:55:03,150 --> 02:55:05,970
a fidelity mutual funds out there by these.

1825
02:55:06,070 --> 02:55:07,450
So there are the ones by these funds.

1826
02:55:07,590 --> 02:55:09,790
It's holding these in her portfolios.

1827
02:55:10,950 --> 02:55:11,170
Okay.

1828
02:55:11,290 --> 02:55:12,230
Thank you.

1829
02:55:14,160 --> 02:55:16,480
It's hard for me to imagine.

1830
02:55:19,460 --> 02:55:24,660
Given the, I'll say, condition of our county, we have no incorporated cities.

1831
02:55:26,460 --> 02:55:33,940
Small County, 17,000 population, you talked about 100 houses.

1832
02:55:34,800 --> 02:55:40,660
I don't see a single parcel in this county that could maybe down in Kathy's Valley,

1833
02:55:40,840 --> 02:55:45,400
but most of that's Williamson Act land and Conservancy land.

1834
02:55:45,400 --> 02:55:55,360
So I'm struggling with how other than a hotel, or possibly another creakside development,

1835
02:55:58,000 --> 02:56:00,740
how anybody would actually be able to access this.

1836
02:56:01,200 --> 02:56:09,320
So having said that, what the process for creating this situation here in the county is

1837
02:56:09,320 --> 02:56:11,100
is merely signing this resolution,

1838
02:56:11,280 --> 02:56:14,540
approving this resolution, and then we're in.

1839
02:56:15,160 --> 02:56:16,900
And then you're in, and then you can,

1840
02:56:16,920 --> 02:56:20,520
if you decide, six months a year,

1841
02:56:20,700 --> 02:56:22,380
two years, ten years down the road

1842
02:56:22,980 --> 02:56:25,060
that's not working, or if you don't want it there,

1843
02:56:25,200 --> 02:56:28,060
or whatever, you can withdraw at any point in time.

1844
02:56:34,560 --> 02:56:35,980
So it's like putting a spare tire

1845
02:56:35,980 --> 02:56:38,140
in the old back of the Jeep,

1846
02:56:38,820 --> 02:56:40,020
hopefully it's zero when you need it.

1847
02:56:40,140 --> 02:56:41,220
Is that what we're talking about?

1848
02:56:42,660 --> 02:56:44,380
That's a good analogy, I like that.

1849
02:56:45,730 --> 02:56:56,130
Yes, okay. Well, like I said, it was a lot to read since Thursday and it's not easy

1850
02:56:56,130 --> 02:56:58,370
reading for me anyway,

1851
02:57:00,650 --> 02:57:06,190
but this conversation has helped understand it a bit.

1852
02:57:11,880 --> 02:57:16,160
Chair. Kevin Briggs, the Assistant County Council has been working on this item and I believe

1853
02:57:16,160 --> 02:57:19,040
He's asked some things they had, it's ready to.

1854
02:57:19,380 --> 02:57:20,460
All right, thank you.

1855
02:57:23,920 --> 02:57:27,100
Chair and Board Kevin Brakes from the County Council's office.

1856
02:57:28,680 --> 02:57:34,640
The resolution that's before you was prepared by the authority, excuse me.

1857
02:57:35,340 --> 02:57:41,040
And we reviewed it for legal sufficiency, and we did have one item that we requested of

1858
02:57:41,040 --> 02:57:47,040
the authority, and they added a paragraph to section 15 of the agreement.

1859
02:57:47,040 --> 02:57:53,880
and that was circulated to your or that came late after the posting of the agenda.

1860
02:57:58,460 --> 02:58:07,520
The reason for that is we saw that as we read the agreement, it's a, there's an

1861
02:58:07,520 --> 02:58:14,460
indemnification provision in there, that section 15 that runs from the county to the authority,

1862
02:58:14,460 --> 02:58:21,280
that we would indemn that we, the county would indemnify the authority, the JPA.

1863
02:58:21,940 --> 02:58:26,640
For any claims that might come in for the roadway, or the sewer, or the lighting,

1864
02:58:26,880 --> 02:58:32,380
or whatever construction is done under this infrastructure financing.

1865
02:58:33,540 --> 02:58:38,260
We saw that indemnification running one way from the county to the authority.

1866
02:58:38,260 --> 02:58:42,340
And we thought, well, shouldn't it be reciprocal?

1867
02:58:42,820 --> 02:58:56,100
Shouldn't they be indemnifying the county for their levy and bond work and collection of the assessments or the text special taxes?

1868
02:58:56,980 --> 02:59:03,400
And they agreed that they would add that into Section 15, and that's what's present before you.

1869
02:59:04,100 --> 02:59:08,120
I would say, and this is not, this does not go to the legal

1870
02:59:08,120 --> 02:59:11,060
sufficiency of the document if the board wants to proceed.

1871
02:59:11,320 --> 02:59:13,000
We believe that the document is sufficient.

1872
02:59:14,040 --> 02:59:17,900
But because it's reciprocal, and because right now this is a

1873
02:59:17,900 --> 02:59:22,280
unilateral act of the board, the adoption of this resolution,

1874
02:59:23,060 --> 02:59:32,760
we would suggest that before an actual project specific financing is done that we would have

1875
02:59:32,760 --> 02:59:40,120
a bilateral agreement signed by both parties where we would have that reciprocal indemnification.

1876
02:59:41,000 --> 02:59:46,680
Just so, you know, I believe that they have indicated their willingness to do that,

1877
02:59:46,680 --> 02:59:56,520
because they have said in section 15 that adoption by the commission of the authority of each resolution

1878
02:59:56,520 --> 02:59:59,980
to contention to form a CFD community facility system.

1879
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:08,760
Our assessment district shall constitute agreement by the authority to indemnify the county for claims or damages

1880
03:00:08,760 --> 03:00:15,680
arising out of the formation or administration of the CFD or assessment district. That's

1881
03:00:15,680 --> 03:00:21,900
well in good, but they're not signing this document. And so we believe that if the board does

1882
03:00:21,900 --> 03:00:29,000
proceed that at a later time we should have a bilateral agreement with the authority. Thank you.

1883
03:00:29,000 --> 03:00:47,410
Thank you. So a couple more questions. The JPA, James, is everybody in this list, a member of this JPA, is it just one huge JPA, or will we be in, say, a rural county section of it?

1884
03:00:48,210 --> 03:01:05,590
So, you're at the counties that we remember to our GPS, you joined in 1988, you would be a member of a participant in the skip program, so you'd be added to the list of skip participants of the 130 plus there.

1885
03:01:06,730 --> 03:01:09,610
And then is there a board that governs this JPA?

1886
03:01:10,530 --> 03:01:19,330
there's there's a board it's made up of typically former city managers and former county

1887
03:01:19,330 --> 03:01:29,630
county employee folks former some are current some are not current I mean members

1888
03:01:29,630 --> 03:01:36,350
are on the board there are seven with two alternates so nine total nine total

1889
03:01:39,580 --> 03:01:40,360
okay

1890
03:01:40,360 --> 03:01:58,750
and how often does that board turn over or it's every three, it's a three-year term for every member and they can stay on, they typically stay on for two terms and then roll off.

1891
03:02:00,350 --> 03:02:01,670
Okay, thank you.

1892
03:02:04,340 --> 03:02:05,640
Go ahead, supervisor foresight.

1893
03:02:05,640 --> 03:02:15,520
have a question of planning how many projects that are in the hopper would benefit from this particular agreement?

1894
03:02:16,820 --> 03:02:26,420
Yeah, I think Plane Director mentioned specifically the high-up place project that would be a good candidate for this program,

1895
03:02:26,620 --> 03:02:31,020
but then would then have to be approved by the Plane Department before it went through.

1896
03:02:31,020 --> 03:02:39,600
And then I think supervisor Ministries thought of, you know, if there's a future multi-family housing, you know,

1897
03:02:39,720 --> 03:02:41,140
you know, a creakside type development.

1898
03:02:41,260 --> 03:02:42,420
Yeah, nothing else in the hopper.

1899
03:02:43,080 --> 03:02:43,220
Yeah.

1900
03:02:43,820 --> 03:02:44,020
Correct.

1901
03:02:45,120 --> 03:02:51,100
My personal opinion is I think we ought to tap the brakes on this and give a little more thought.

1902
03:02:52,300 --> 03:02:53,680
That's my opinion.

1903
03:02:57,970 --> 03:03:06,080
If it's all set up to go and a project comes along,

1904
03:03:06,860 --> 03:03:08,780
I could apply these projects.

1905
03:03:09,380 --> 03:03:14,100
I mean, we've got two on the board, so to speak right now.

1906
03:03:14,360 --> 03:03:19,620
Brown Baron and Hyatt, can they, is it too late for them to access this program?

1907
03:03:23,020 --> 03:03:25,480
The second question, Stephen, for a planning director,

1908
03:03:25,740 --> 03:03:27,540
I'm not sure whether it would be too late or not.

1909
03:03:27,620 --> 03:03:29,480
I'd have to check which aims on that.

1910
03:03:29,480 --> 03:03:33,860
They do have some public infrastructure improvements associated with that project.

1911
03:03:34,560 --> 03:03:44,720
I do know there are discussions with that project applicant that they've been running into some issues associated with increasing costs for part of their project.

1912
03:03:45,160 --> 03:03:47,220
Certainly, the high place project is of interest.

1913
03:03:48,080 --> 03:03:49,140
There could be other projects.

1914
03:03:49,360 --> 03:03:51,620
I mean, they're not in application stage.

1915
03:03:51,620 --> 03:04:01,640
We have a, you know, we have some Creek Parkway related projects, a firmer property, there's some other things that could come into the mix in the future.

1916
03:04:02,780 --> 03:04:05,700
And then there's also, you know, Missouri Gulch.

1917
03:04:06,200 --> 03:04:09,960
There's likely some public improvement infrastructure associated with that.

1918
03:04:09,980 --> 03:04:14,540
Although that is not an application today. Can't tell you whether it would need it or not.

1919
03:04:15,140 --> 03:04:20,840
Any project that would require these capital improvements for public infrastructure could potentially benefit from it.

1920
03:04:20,840 --> 03:04:31,620
I don't have a crystal ball on all of those that could occur, but certainly we would definitely be interested in having this available to folks.

1921
03:04:32,740 --> 03:04:41,400
For the Board's sake, in conversation, how I learned about this was through the discussions with the guinea from the high place project.

1922
03:04:42,040 --> 03:04:49,100
There were some meetings that were held and he called me and asked me if we were participating in this and it prompted me to look into it in more detail.

1923
03:04:49,100 --> 03:04:54,220
So, as a result, he had indicated, well, as a part of that conversation, he had indicated

1924
03:04:54,220 --> 03:04:58,300
some of the creasing costs for their financials on their side, and that they were participating

1925
03:04:58,300 --> 03:05:02,120
in another jurisdiction of something similar to another jurisdiction, a project they were

1926
03:05:02,120 --> 03:05:02,900
working on.

1927
03:05:03,660 --> 03:05:06,680
So, we do know there's some interest, we obviously know there's interest throughout the

1928
03:05:06,680 --> 03:05:12,400
other jurisdictions that are listed, and so it would be of interest for us to at least see

1929
03:05:12,400 --> 03:05:13,420
this through.

1930
03:05:13,780 --> 03:05:18,100
I would understand if there's additional discussion or information that the board seeks

1931
03:05:18,100 --> 03:05:22,040
certainly let us know we'd be happy to gather that information.

1932
03:05:22,900 --> 03:05:24,100
Thank you.

1933
03:05:29,050 --> 03:05:30,590
Steve, what about the surf pool?

1934
03:05:30,990 --> 03:05:31,550
Would that qualify?

1935
03:05:37,900 --> 03:05:42,000
The my understanding of the financing would be towards those public improvement,

1936
03:05:42,140 --> 03:05:45,420
the whole list that's in the resolution.

1937
03:05:46,480 --> 03:05:49,600
And it's possible there could be something associated with that.

1938
03:05:49,660 --> 03:05:52,700
They don't have their full application in yet,

1939
03:05:52,960 --> 03:05:56,000
so we don't know all the details of everything that would be required.

1940
03:05:56,000 --> 03:06:03,700
So when you say public improvement, if they built the solar field that they're talking about

1941
03:06:03,700 --> 03:06:09,040
doing, now granted they would be utilizing the power from it, but also they want to build

1942
03:06:09,040 --> 03:06:14,900
as you know, a backup power source for the community of Don't Lake, Don Pedro.

1943
03:06:18,120 --> 03:06:20,140
Is that what that qualifies under that deficit?

1944
03:06:20,140 --> 03:06:20,840
I don't know.

1945
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:25,100
I couldn't give you an answer without evaluating the details of that specifics of that.

1946
03:06:25,100 --> 03:06:46,740
But certainly, we would look at those types of situations that others for whether or not this could be beneficial for that we would lean on the skip program folks to look at what beats their requirements first, and then we will look at what the obligations might be under a entitlement application.

1947
03:06:47,800 --> 03:06:50,400
There's a wide range of things that are listed in that.

1948
03:06:50,720 --> 03:06:53,120
Will could you bring that, or you just throw that up?

1949
03:06:54,160 --> 03:06:58,740
And certainly, some of those things could be financed through this.

1950
03:06:59,240 --> 03:07:06,900
And my impression is that this is, as mentioned earlier, there's another stream of financing

1951
03:07:06,900 --> 03:07:10,580
that's available that would be locked in for them, and they can count on that.

1952
03:07:10,680 --> 03:07:14,420
And that's something worth their construction project, you know, that they penciled

1953
03:07:14,420 --> 03:07:21,100
before they went through entitlement and, you know, takes a while to get through the process with an EIR or other larger projects.

1954
03:07:22,200 --> 03:07:24,700
That type of cost go up.

1955
03:07:25,360 --> 03:07:27,460
Maybe they're financing mechanisms, couldn't cover that.

1956
03:07:27,880 --> 03:07:29,980
So for the wave pools specifically, in those types of...

1957
03:07:30,000 --> 03:07:33,940
I think that we would want to look at what those answers are.

1958
03:07:34,280 --> 03:07:39,020
Thank you. So just I guess two things that I wanted to point out, thank you, Steve.

1959
03:07:40,480 --> 03:07:47,240
First of all, is who really is endorsed this and who created this was through CSAC,

1960
03:07:48,600 --> 03:07:57,220
which I think we've all had pretty favorable and positive things that we've garnered through CSAC.

1961
03:07:57,220 --> 03:08:04,720
The second thing is, are three things, and I guess, is it doesn't seem like going back

1962
03:08:04,720 --> 03:08:10,360
well, even if we went back, say, 10 years, how many things would have qualified for this?

1963
03:08:10,760 --> 03:08:15,260
And all that it is, thirdly, is it just another revenue source?

1964
03:08:17,140 --> 03:08:17,980
Pardon me?

1965
03:08:18,460 --> 03:08:19,040
Financing.

1966
03:08:19,820 --> 03:08:20,080
Not revenue.

1967
03:08:20,520 --> 03:08:20,740
Yeah.

1968
03:08:21,000 --> 03:08:22,820
I was testing you, and you passed.

1969
03:08:24,500 --> 03:08:30,580
It's another financing source and so if we're talking about a handful of things over 10 years

1970
03:08:30,580 --> 03:08:39,440
I don't, and then given who created it and I just, I mean, it sounds too good to be true,

1971
03:08:39,880 --> 03:08:45,000
but I think that it passes all the tests that I've seen so far so thank you again.

1972
03:08:53,640 --> 03:09:18,540
So, it sounds like we don't have anything in the wings that will be held up by failure to move forward on this particular item today, but I agree with Supervisor Poe, there's no harm in getting it in place in the way we want to see it.

1973
03:09:18,540 --> 03:09:30,320
So I guess my question is given the input from Kevin Briggs, does it make sense to inquire

1974
03:09:30,320 --> 03:09:40,960
whether CSCDA is willing to allow us to modify the resolution such that it encompasses

1975
03:09:40,960 --> 03:09:43,700
is the concept of a reciprocal indemnification.

1976
03:09:46,540 --> 03:09:48,620
And then move forward from there.

1977
03:09:51,180 --> 03:09:54,180
This change again, we've agreed to that already.

1978
03:09:55,340 --> 03:09:57,420
So that can be included in our council's

1979
03:09:57,420 --> 03:09:59,520
agreed to then set that language over.

1980
03:09:59,820 --> 03:10:02,520
I think what Kevin was indicating about an educational

1981
03:10:02,520 --> 03:10:06,840
agreement, which again, we're amenable to.

1982
03:10:06,920 --> 03:10:11,220
But the language and resolution, we are amenable to that.

1983
03:10:11,220 --> 03:10:14,940
So let me understand what you just said.

1984
03:10:15,760 --> 03:10:20,280
You're looking at an agreement that is separate from the resolution.

1985
03:10:23,420 --> 03:10:26,960
That's what I think Kevin was indicating would be recommended,

1986
03:10:27,120 --> 03:10:29,360
which we're fine with for that.

1987
03:10:29,360 --> 03:10:34,780
But we're also, we added some language to Kevin's point to the resolution.

1988
03:10:36,140 --> 03:10:40,200
That would incorporate an identification both ways.

1989
03:10:40,200 --> 03:10:42,760
Okay, do you want to clarify Kevin?

1990
03:10:42,920 --> 03:10:46,800
I guess their mirror image documents, is that Kevin?

1991
03:10:47,460 --> 03:10:49,880
Kevin breaks from the county council's office again.

1992
03:10:50,640 --> 03:10:56,340
Yes, our point is that this is a, this is a unilateral resolution that your board is considering.

1993
03:10:56,900 --> 03:11:01,480
And if it passes it binds your board, it doesn't bind the JPA.

1994
03:11:02,040 --> 03:11:07,840
So that's why we think that there needs to be a bilateral agreement where both sites sign.

1995
03:11:07,840 --> 03:11:17,720
Okay, so it sounds like your recommendation is that we bring an item back that would have the resolution and the agreement in the same.

1996
03:11:18,980 --> 03:11:29,840
It's a two step process already. There's the adoption of the resolution followed by their action on projects specific items.

1997
03:11:29,840 --> 03:11:32,160
And that's the second step.

1998
03:11:32,460 --> 03:11:37,980
We think that the agreement should be in place sometime before that second step is taken,

1999
03:11:38,160 --> 03:11:41,500
but it needn't be done concurrent with this first step.

2000
03:11:41,840 --> 03:11:45,660
The only problem is that means somebody's got to remember to take the second step for

2001
03:11:45,660 --> 03:11:46,600
our interest.

2002
03:11:47,520 --> 03:11:50,720
Let's make it as easy and straightforward as possible.

2003
03:11:51,980 --> 03:11:53,060
It would be my recommendation.

2004
03:11:53,060 --> 03:11:55,340
So, can I make a clarification?

2005
03:11:56,400 --> 03:12:03,600
The resolution with the recommended language was sent to you guys earlier this week and is attached to the packet.

2006
03:12:04,720 --> 03:12:06,240
Well, it's not attached to your packet.

2007
03:12:06,400 --> 03:12:10,200
It's attached to the agenda item for public view.

2008
03:12:11,260 --> 03:12:16,380
And this item would just take the unimended action for the resolution.

2009
03:12:18,200 --> 03:12:19,920
You would need to approve it as amended.

2010
03:12:20,620 --> 03:12:21,360
Those suggestions.

2011
03:12:21,360 --> 03:12:49,000
Right, yeah, no, I'm just wondering if it makes sense to, if there is interest in having this other tool in our tool belt, when eventually we have a development project that could benefit from this tool that we take it all in one package rather than the two step, which is a nice dance, but you know, her to do together.

2012
03:12:49,000 --> 03:12:49,860
I

2013
03:12:55,530 --> 03:13:04,790
don't. I really don't. Okay. Who else? Sure.

2014
03:13:07,170 --> 03:13:10,570
So this is for James. James, if we

2015
03:13:10,570 --> 03:13:18,390
decided not to approve this today and we had an interested party come to us in a

2016
03:13:18,390 --> 03:13:29,130
month or two. Is that possible to get things going right away to go ahead and

2017
03:13:29,130 --> 03:13:36,470
three application period. We have, so the next one is December 1. So as long as the county took

2018
03:13:36,470 --> 03:13:44,790
action before December 1st, and that project or projects wanted to move forward in the next

2019
03:13:44,790 --> 03:13:54,750
school, that would be the time that we do look at that. Thank you. So let's dig into that a little

2020
03:13:54,750 --> 03:13:58,710
James, so three application periods per year?

2021
03:14:00,470 --> 03:14:03,310
Yeah, so we get, we have, so let me just

2022
03:14:03,310 --> 03:14:04,990
I'll give you this three application deadlines.

2023
03:14:05,110 --> 03:14:07,490
Here's December 1st for our first

2024
03:14:07,490 --> 03:14:10,170
Bond series next year because we're done.

2025
03:14:10,210 --> 03:14:12,810
We're basically done with 2025 or 24.

2026
03:14:13,070 --> 03:14:13,470
I'm sorry.

2027
03:14:15,050 --> 03:14:18,750
Then the next application deadline after December 1 is equal

2028
03:14:18,750 --> 03:14:23,610
I'm 25 and then our next application deadline after

2029
03:14:23,610 --> 03:14:25,750
that is August 1st, 2025.

2030
03:14:27,650 --> 03:14:31,550
So those are the three windows that we're looking at.

2031
03:14:34,470 --> 03:14:37,070
Oh, I see September, we're so that,

2032
03:14:37,230 --> 03:14:39,190
and how long is each application period?

2033
03:14:41,010 --> 03:14:44,210
So basically, so that December 1st applications,

2034
03:14:45,670 --> 03:14:48,010
we issue bond at the end of May.

2035
03:14:48,190 --> 03:14:50,550
So it's typically about a five to six month process

2036
03:14:50,550 --> 03:14:51,810
from start to end.

2037
03:14:52,230 --> 03:14:52,470
Okay.

2038
03:14:54,170 --> 03:14:54,830
Thank you.

2039
03:14:56,890 --> 03:14:57,270
Yes, sir.

2040
03:14:58,410 --> 03:14:59,970
Um, if it's, uh, any of them.

2041
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:03,480
All to the board, given the discussion,

2042
03:15:06,080 --> 03:15:09,580
it is possible that we could continue this to date

2043
03:15:09,580 --> 03:15:17,280
certain it was a publicly noticed requirement for this action and work with council and skip

2044
03:15:17,280 --> 03:15:22,760
program folks to bring in any language for the resolution and we could do it that way that

2045
03:15:22,760 --> 03:15:27,960
way the Reno signal would have to occur. That would allow us to opportunity to take a look

2046
03:15:27,960 --> 03:15:33,280
providing additional information for the resolution that based on the discussion.

2047
03:15:34,260 --> 03:15:41,100
I think it would also be worthwhile to contact the two major projects that are on the board,

2048
03:15:41,160 --> 03:15:48,300
so to speak right now, if they could apply their projects to this program,

2049
03:15:48,860 --> 03:15:54,900
and if the developers of those projects would be interested in applying their projects to this program.

2050
03:15:56,310 --> 03:16:02,990
I can do that. I can't say guinea re-stow it directly on the high-place project and was interested in the program.

2051
03:16:03,650 --> 03:16:07,970
I can confirm definitively and bring that information back as well as the other projects.

2052
03:16:10,830 --> 03:16:15,150
So let me understand this. So what's the process between applying,

2053
03:16:15,870 --> 03:16:21,810
for let's say the high-up project, hold on Steve, here in the county and applying for this program.

2054
03:16:22,050 --> 03:16:24,470
Does one happen before the other or do they do it simultaneously?

2055
03:16:31,720 --> 03:16:49,080
So as long as the next application deadline is December 1st, we would need the county to take action before December 1st to opt in via this resolution because we're not going to move forward unless you are okay moving forward on this.

2056
03:16:49,080 --> 03:16:54,260
And so for us to move forward, how much of a process does it have to go through the planning department?

2057
03:16:55,640 --> 03:17:00,120
Does it have to have permit and conditions met and ready to build?

2058
03:17:00,520 --> 03:17:01,260
I would assume.

2059
03:17:01,680 --> 03:17:01,900
Yeah.

2060
03:17:02,360 --> 03:17:03,600
You need to be a final map.

2061
03:17:03,900 --> 03:17:05,880
So it doesn't need to be ready to go.

2062
03:17:07,620 --> 03:17:10,340
And incidentally, that is the case with the high place project.

2063
03:17:10,760 --> 03:17:12,560
They've got their building permit application.

2064
03:17:12,800 --> 03:17:14,660
And they've already went through a design review.

2065
03:17:16,080 --> 03:17:16,780
They're looking to build.

2066
03:17:19,980 --> 03:17:26,020
But just to clarify further, do they need their permit issued from Mariposa County to apply

2067
03:17:26,020 --> 03:17:27,460
for this project program?

2068
03:17:28,900 --> 03:17:28,920
No.

2069
03:17:31,870 --> 03:17:31,950
Let's see.

2070
03:17:31,990 --> 03:17:32,930
Four issued bonds.

2071
03:17:32,950 --> 03:17:34,270
Two issued bonds.

2072
03:17:34,870 --> 03:17:35,210
They need to.

2073
03:17:36,110 --> 03:17:36,590
Okay.

2074
03:17:38,700 --> 03:17:39,000
Okay.

2075
03:17:39,000 --> 03:17:39,780
So they get ready.

2076
03:17:39,860 --> 03:17:40,940
They apply for the program.

2077
03:17:41,960 --> 03:17:43,780
You go through the rest of that process.

2078
03:17:45,000 --> 03:17:49,060
Then they get their permit from the county and then they can receive the bond money.

2079
03:17:50,240 --> 03:17:51,140
That's pretty much God.

2080
03:17:51,140 --> 03:17:54,440
That's my understanding, James, unless you have a clarification for the board.

2081
03:17:55,780 --> 03:17:56,300
That's correct.

2082
03:18:02,080 --> 03:18:05,820
Yeah, so we've heard what Supervisor Ford's site said.

2083
03:18:05,980 --> 03:18:12,340
I would be interested in the two questions I asked, can these two projects get in on this?

2084
03:18:12,860 --> 03:18:13,860
Do they want to?

2085
03:18:13,940 --> 03:18:23,760
You said yes for I, and come back with that and maybe give us a little more time too.

2086
03:18:23,760 --> 03:18:32,260
As Lame and me, I read this thing once and I attempted to do it a second time and it was just

2087
03:18:32,260 --> 03:18:39,800
It's a lot of legalese language in there. Good for you, Kevin. It's it's hard reading for me

2088
03:18:40,120 --> 03:18:47,520
Yeah, I was a bit challenging for me as well and not a heavy finance background for myself and so I was definitely

2089
03:18:48,300 --> 03:18:51,380
appreciative of Kevin's review and the indemnification

2090
03:18:52,360 --> 03:18:54,020
change that he was requesting.

2091
03:19:07,620 --> 03:19:13,620
Is that the consensus? It's fine. It's fine. I'm getting

2092
03:19:13,620 --> 03:19:20,100
consensus on the other loud shake their heads. They have to speak. Yes, I agree to get

2093
03:19:20,100 --> 03:19:22,480
more information in combat. Okay, great.

2094
03:19:25,380 --> 03:19:31,800
About this end. Sorry, I missed. So, what I said

2095
03:19:31,800 --> 03:19:37,700
to the investigation on the two big projects that are on the board and then come back?

2096
03:19:38,260 --> 03:19:46,220
I think that's fine. I mean, that's kind of where we were coming down as far as this conversation.

2097
03:19:47,360 --> 03:19:54,660
There is no cost to the county in terms of selling the county as a potential development location.

2098
03:19:54,660 --> 03:19:57,860
And it is a nice to have, right?

2099
03:19:57,860 --> 03:20:03,660
If you're a developer and you're talking about financing a project somewhere between 500,000

2100
03:20:03,660 --> 03:20:11,920
and 5 million, or 35 million, sorry, you know, it's we're in a competitive situation at some

2101
03:20:11,920 --> 03:20:16,880
level and it's nice to be at least on an even playing field in terms of being able to offer

2102
03:20:16,880 --> 03:20:18,460
this financing option.

2103
03:20:19,640 --> 03:20:23,180
If the board members need more information, that's great.

2104
03:20:23,760 --> 03:20:25,640
But I do think there is value.

2105
03:20:25,940 --> 03:20:30,240
Since we are current in terms of the information that's been collected

2106
03:20:31,320 --> 03:20:35,800
and the recommendation from County Council's office,

2107
03:20:35,900 --> 03:20:39,620
I think let's do it and move on.

2108
03:20:40,260 --> 03:20:44,940
Or let's just say we don't want to play in the sandbox

2109
03:20:44,940 --> 03:20:48,340
and a lot of staff to focus on other things.

2110
03:20:52,330 --> 03:21:05,410
Well, I agree 100% I think if I was Mr. Hyatt and I called Joe and said, hey, look, you know, I'm kind of thinking about building the motel there.

2111
03:21:05,710 --> 03:21:12,850
That's a heck of a nice thing for him to bring up is that hey, we have this additional type of financing that's available to you.

2112
03:21:12,850 --> 03:21:17,770
So the two questions, are the two places that are currently would qualify for this?

2113
03:21:18,010 --> 03:21:19,190
Are they under construction?

2114
03:21:23,620 --> 03:21:26,320
There's one that is ingrating.

2115
03:21:27,460 --> 03:21:29,880
So they probably have the money at the financing anyway.

2116
03:21:32,710 --> 03:21:33,010
Maybe?

2117
03:21:34,130 --> 03:21:38,070
I can't possibly, I'm not, I'm not, yeah, I'm being facetious.

2118
03:21:38,690 --> 03:21:38,690
Anyway,

2119
03:21:41,110 --> 03:21:43,830
can I, can I comment on that?

2120
03:21:46,350 --> 03:21:53,670
So if they are doing improvements, which I'm assuming they are for this, this is a reimbursement mechanism.

2121
03:21:54,370 --> 03:21:55,850
So they would have to have their own finance.

2122
03:21:56,290 --> 03:22:01,750
So to your point, they probably do a financing, but they're looking to reimburse themselves with this financing,

2123
03:22:02,370 --> 03:22:08,890
which is much more, it's probably more than half what they're paying right now in the current financing that they have in place.

2124
03:22:11,010 --> 03:22:11,970
Thank you.

2125
03:22:13,390 --> 03:22:18,690
At some point, we have to recognize the fact that we have to do anything and everything

2126
03:22:18,690 --> 03:22:23,550
that we can possibly do in this county to try to keep from hemorrhaging and losing

2127
03:22:23,550 --> 03:22:24,210
more people.

2128
03:22:24,210 --> 03:22:26,130
and in order to do that we have to grow.

2129
03:22:26,410 --> 03:22:28,110
We have to get housing.

2130
03:22:28,390 --> 03:22:29,970
We have to attract people.

2131
03:22:30,000 --> 03:22:41,700
We have to track businesses and if we limit that to a small number of things, then it's just going to make that more difficult.

2132
03:22:44,540 --> 03:22:44,940
Yes, please.

2133
03:22:46,100 --> 03:22:48,240
Good afternoon, Mr. Jones County and Mr. Officer.

2134
03:22:49,200 --> 03:22:53,740
I would just recommend if it's brought back that we do so with a timeline.

2135
03:22:54,660 --> 03:22:57,860
As the board may or may or may not know and the public may or may not know.

2136
03:22:57,860 --> 03:23:02,300
On February 16th of 2025, the field of dreams is returned to Mariposa County,

2137
03:23:02,400 --> 03:23:09,960
as open property that has a lot of interest from developers for housing,

2138
03:23:11,200 --> 03:23:14,160
different workforce housing for you, somebody and housing for low income.

2139
03:23:14,900 --> 03:23:22,100
So if we're going to enter into this, I would, I think timing if we could be before that comes into

2140
03:23:22,100 --> 03:23:28,660
the county, I think it would either allow us to say affirmatively or specifically yes or no

2141
03:23:28,660 --> 03:23:33,400
to whether we have this program in place. So that hopefully for Steve that just helps you

2142
03:23:33,400 --> 03:23:38,420
when I find out which time we should get answers and bring this back for our discussion and

2143
03:23:38,420 --> 03:23:48,060
direction. Okay, thank you. And just to add Joe, thank you for that. There is a date certain date

2144
03:23:48,060 --> 03:23:51,800
would have to be chosen because it was a public notice hearing today.

2145
03:23:52,860 --> 03:23:56,420
So October 15 November 1st, a board date.

2146
03:23:56,560 --> 03:23:59,740
We will lock in if it's going to be continued for further consideration.

2147
03:24:01,820 --> 03:24:02,660
Why is that?

2148
03:24:02,660 --> 03:24:03,780
Why does it need a date, sir?

2149
03:24:04,940 --> 03:24:07,960
So this item was noticed publicly in the paper.

2150
03:24:08,440 --> 03:24:11,980
And to avoid having to notice again,

2151
03:24:12,240 --> 03:24:14,360
which I will note is it can be costly.

2152
03:24:16,160 --> 03:24:22,220
you continue the item to a date certain so that the listening public knows exactly when

2153
03:24:22,220 --> 03:24:27,500
this item is coming back. We give a date in a time. So 9 a.m. we're seeing there after or 2 p.m.

2154
03:24:27,680 --> 03:24:29,600
we're seeing there after.

2155
03:24:29,980 --> 03:24:31,120
All right. A paper.

2156
03:24:34,470 --> 03:24:35,270
What paper?

2157
03:24:35,490 --> 03:24:40,970
Yes. So we notice in the Gazette because it is the only paper of general circulation in our

2158
03:24:40,970 --> 03:24:44,150
county and that is under government code requirements.

2159
03:24:46,960 --> 03:24:49,320
So when can you have the information Steve?

2160
03:24:49,460 --> 03:24:51,020
I didn't generate a bunch of questions.

2161
03:24:51,020 --> 03:24:53,580
It's November 5th.

2162
03:24:53,580 --> 03:24:57,060
We're looking at November 5th for the date certain.

2163
03:24:57,180 --> 03:24:58,480
If that works for the board.

2164
03:24:59,640 --> 03:25:01,780
The 15th is a little crunchy, but.

2165
03:25:02,080 --> 03:25:04,900
It doesn't give that time much time for somebody.

2166
03:25:05,120 --> 03:25:07,640
If they wanted to get in their application by December 1st.

2167
03:25:08,340 --> 03:25:10,820
Well, that's just to join the JPA.

2168
03:25:12,200 --> 03:25:13,440
We got December 1st.

2169
03:25:18,780 --> 03:25:30,080
I'm sorry, I guess I may be honest, I thought that if anybody wanted to fill out an application to get one of these, this financing, they had to have it in by December 1st is that?

2170
03:25:30,080 --> 03:25:32,080
for this bond that she did?

2171
03:25:33,120 --> 03:25:33,260
Right.

2172
03:25:33,320 --> 03:25:33,820
They would.

2173
03:25:34,380 --> 03:25:39,740
But the application and will take them by 15, 20 minutes to fill out.

2174
03:25:39,840 --> 03:25:43,920
So if the county approved it on November 5th,

2175
03:25:44,440 --> 03:25:48,220
that would still get them plenty of times to complete an application through to us.

2176
03:25:54,630 --> 03:25:54,810
I'm sorry.

2177
03:25:55,770 --> 03:25:56,190
Good.

2178
03:25:56,610 --> 03:25:56,710
For that.

2179
03:25:57,850 --> 03:26:04,930
Can I ask you an intern county for their approving this program that day?

2180
03:26:04,930 --> 03:26:09,190
So with it's being the morning or the afternoon morning.

2181
03:26:11,670 --> 03:26:16,110
Well, if we want to do it on the first, we can do it the first item.

2182
03:26:17,870 --> 03:26:18,630
I'm sorry.

2183
03:26:19,670 --> 03:26:20,470
First item.

2184
03:26:20,990 --> 03:26:25,390
So what I'm hearing is November 5th at 9 a.m. or soon thereafter.

2185
03:26:25,830 --> 03:26:26,110
Yes.

2186
03:26:27,890 --> 03:26:34,070
And chair, if it would second, and so then I continue this to that date and time, sir.

2187
03:26:34,170 --> 03:26:35,110
Got it.

2188
03:26:35,810 --> 03:26:40,230
Being as James on the phone, James is on the phone with the 9 a.m. work for you, James.

2189
03:26:41,650 --> 03:26:46,610
Unfortunately, I'm not dying at the same time, certain time for current journey.

2190
03:26:46,610 --> 03:26:55,290
Two, two, two, two, two, two, two PM. So, events, two, three, two, a meeting after the

2191
03:26:55,290 --> 03:26:58,870

2194
03:27:16,170 --> 03:27:17,790
canceled for C-SAC.

03:27:20,740 --> 03:27:29,480
Okay, so the 12 would like to participate. So the 12 would be better for me.

03:27:29,500 --> 03:27:32,380
I'm 9 a.m. That's fine.

03:27:33,800 --> 03:27:37,200
So November 12, 9 a.m. or soon thereafter.

Or...

2206
03:28:13,260 --> 03:28:14,780
