1
00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:03,336
also really worried about trash, you know,

2
00:00:03,336 --> 00:00:04,504
the plastics and things like that. And also the dog waste

3
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:08,104
for the health of the environ.

4
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:24,522
County alerts.

5
00:00:31,448 --> 00:00:33,848
Alerts NPS MBA inform.

6
00:00:51,184 --> 00:00:53,184
Young county alerts.

7
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:06,329
Is a year round effort.

8
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,550
So one of the major threats that we face here

9
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:47,560
in Nevada, Yuba river, consider the fire threat.

10
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,641
Know that on a red, poorly disposed of cigarette could

11
00:01:48,641 --> 00:01:50,641
create a fire.

12
00:01:58,234 --> 00:02:00,954
That pushes city. So this summer we're encouraging

13
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:01,821
folks to just be safe when they're out

14
00:02:01,821 --> 00:02:02,889
there, please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be

15
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:04,889
careful when you're.

16
00:02:12,899 --> 00:02:13,933
Just cigarettes and other products like that, that

17
00:02:13,933 --> 00:02:14,467
could start a fire.

18
00:02:14,467 --> 00:02:15,418
Is when you're down here just for you to call

19
00:02:15,418 --> 00:02:16,519
out if there's a fire. Should a fire her in the canyon.

20
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:18,521
You need to be moving quickly. Away from it. And don't wait

21
00:02:18,521 --> 00:02:20,521
for us to.

22
00:02:25,695 --> 00:02:29,732
Fly over. Don't wait for an engine companies.

23
00:02:29,732 --> 00:02:30,600
If you see it, get away from it. Move up

24
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,218
the canyon. Because it's gonna be

25
00:02:32,218 --> 00:02:34,387
congested at the Trailhead, trying to

26
00:02:34,387 --> 00:02:39,442
get out. So have a plan to get yourself

27
00:02:39,442 --> 00:02:40,310
and your family out safely and know that

28
00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:41,444
evacuations may take longer. On those hot summer days. If

29
00:02:41,444 --> 00:02:43,179
there's a fire in the river king.

30
00:02:43,179 --> 00:02:44,214
Think about things like evacuation of fire, where

31
00:02:44,214 --> 00:02:46,214
to kick off.

32
00:02:52,488 --> 00:02:56,688
it's important that you do your part.

33
00:02:57,427 --> 00:03:01,164
To prevent wildfires in the new river king.

34
00:03:01,164 --> 00:03:02,165
The parking lots here at the Yuba river are very

35
00:03:02,165 --> 00:03:04,165
limited.

36
00:03:13,109 --> 00:03:14,244
And obviously tons of people here often. So people have

37
00:03:14,244 --> 00:03:19,440
to park on the side of the highway.

38
00:03:20,984 --> 00:03:21,951
And the highway here is it's a vital artery to

39
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:22,952
people and three different counties. When we have

40
00:03:22,952 --> 00:03:23,820
medical emergencies or any other kind of

41
00:03:23,820 --> 00:03:24,654
emergencies in this area, access

42
00:03:24,654 --> 00:03:30,654
is always key, difficult. Get in these areas with fire,

43
00:03:30,793 --> 00:03:31,928
apparatuses, and equipment. So to have that ability to

44
00:03:31,928 --> 00:03:32,996
maneuver and to park and to get to somebody in need

45
00:03:32,996 --> 00:03:35,980
quickly is very important. Financial cost for parking

46
00:03:35,980 --> 00:03:36,866
citations in the hundreds of dollars,

47
00:03:36,866 --> 00:03:38,234
especially for these areas. The county has enhanced some of

48
00:03:38,234 --> 00:03:40,270
the fines for specific parking zones in this area. So

49
00:03:40,270 --> 00:03:42,270
it.

50
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:49,879
Is very expensive and it goes basically on, on your

51
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:51,470
vehicle registration. So if you don't end up paying that

52
00:03:51,470 --> 00:03:52,215
parking citation, it's gonna end up haunting you later on

53
00:03:52,215 --> 00:03:53,116
when you. When you pay your fees with DMV.

54
00:03:53,116 --> 00:03:54,170
DMV. So on the weekends expect long lines.

55
00:03:54,170 --> 00:03:57,320
Not a lot of parking. A lot of people.

56
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,791
A lot of foot traffic on the road should be

57
00:04:01,791 --> 00:04:02,959
very cautious when you're driving down towards the river.

58
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:04,600
And I think the biggest thing is just to be

59
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600
patient.

60
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:11,567
To understand that it's gonna take time to actually.

61
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:12,568
Park safely walk down to the river and enjoy. So

62
00:04:12,568 --> 00:04:17,368
shins is, is something you have to bring.

63
00:04:21,210 --> 00:04:22,211

00:06:10,119 --> 00:06:13,890
to escape, but the biggest part is understand that what's

78
00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:16,893
in being safe. The more water is, if there is

79
00:06:16,893 --> 00:06:18,561
the more hazard there is for somebody that's

80
00:06:18,561 --> 00:06:20,630
swimming, the harder it's gonna be to move around the

81
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:22,432
more easily. You could get knocked over

82
00:06:22,432 --> 00:06:24,400
slip and fall into the river. And generally speaking,

83
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,800
the colder, the water is gonna be as well.

84

Rivers that glass container that you're carrying.

90
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:24,350
Can very easily shatter on the rocks and it becomes

91
00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:25,670
a hazard for not only you, but other people at

92
00:07:25,670 --> 00:07:29,941
the river. If you're coming to the river, that's wonderful.

93
00:07:29,941 --> 00:07:34,141
Enjoy it. It's an incredibly magical place.

94

And please, please, please pick up after your pets.

98
00:07:44,789 --> 00:07:49,294
Pets in addition to kind of picking up trash because

99
00:07:49,294 --> 00:07:51,294
of aesthetic reasons.

100

Reasons about trash, you know, the plastics and things like

101
00:07:59,504 --> 00:08:00,505
that. And also the dog wastes for the health of

102
00:08:00,505 --> 00:08:01,439
the, and end up in the river. And it's bad

103
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:02,440

Slash defensible space.

119
00:09:23,888 --> 00:09:25,190
So one of the major threats that we face here

120
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:29,894
in Nevada county is wildfire. And so while you're down

121
00:09:29,894 --> 00:09:32,497
visiting the Yuba river, consider

122
00:09:32,497 --> 00:09:34,497
the fire threat.

123
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,991
Know that on a red flag day, especially a fast

124
00:09:43,991 --> 00:09:44,826
moving wildfire can get outta control.

125
00:09:44,826 --> 00:09:49,647
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire.

126
00:09:49,647 --> 00:09:52,200
That pushes all the way down the canyon and into

127
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,602
grass valley in Nevada city. So this summer we're in

128
00:09:54,602 --> 00:09:55,820
just be safe when they're out there, please don't have

129
00:09:55,820 --> 00:10:00,200
barbecues or camp. Campfires be careful when

130
00:10:01,275 --> 00:10:02,143
you're disposing of cigarettes and other

131
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:03,378
products like that, that could start a fire.

132
00:10:03,378 --> 00:10:05,830
Is when you're down here, pay attention to your know

133
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:08,316
that while you're down here, your cell phone may not

134
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:09,250
work. We do have call boxes for you to call

135
00:10:09,250 --> 00:10:10,785
out if there's a. Fire should a fire occur in

136
00:10:10,785 --> 00:10:12,286
the canyon. You need to be moving quickly.

137
00:10:12,286 --> 00:10:17,686
Away from it. And don't wait for us to.

138
00:10:53,911 --> 00:10:55,130
Become a fire to kick off because of the orientation

139
00:10:55,130 --> 00:10:56,640
of the fuels, weatheand topography. It's important

140
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:56,831
that you do your part to prevent.

141
00:10:56,831 --> 00:11:02,231
Thoughts here at the Yuba river are very limited.

142
00:11:09,911 --> 00:11:10,962
And obviously we don't have room for tons of people

143
00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:11,963
here often. So people have to park on the side

144
00:11:11,963 --> 00:11:15,950
of the highway. And the highway here is an

145
00:11:15,950 --> 00:11:17,850
active state highway. It's a vital artery to people and

146
00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:18,319
three different counties. When we have medical emergencies or

147
00:11:18,319 --> 00:11:20,288
any other kind of emergencies in this area.

148
00:11:20,288 --> 00:11:22,173
Access is always key. And it's always very difficult to

149
00:11:22,173 --> 00:11:24,175
get in these areas with fire, apparatuses, and equipment. So

150
00:11:24,175 --> 00:11:30,175
to have that ability to maneuver and to park and

151
00:11:33,468 --> 00:11:34,402
to get to somebody. In need quickly is very

152
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:35,169
important. Financiation is in the

153
00:11:35,169 --> 00:11:36,521
especially for these areas. The county has

154
00:11:36,521 --> 00:11:39,857
enhanced some of the fines for specific parking zones.

155
00:11:39,857 --> 00:11:44,612
Zones in this area. So it is very expensive in

156
00:11:44,612 --> 00:11:45,697
addition. So if you don't end up paying that parking

157
00:11:45,697 --> 00:11:46,831
citation, it's gonna end up haunting you later on. When

158
00:11:46,831 --> 00:11:47,765
you, when you pay your. Fees with DMV. So on

159
00:11:47,765 --> 00:11:51,365
the weekends. Weekends expect long lines,

160
00:11:52,820 --> 00:11:55,820
not a lot of parking.

161
00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:08,860
On the river. And I think the biggest thing is

162
00:12:08,860 --> 00:12:10,860
just to be.

163
00:12:14,742 --> 00:12:18,942

177
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:11,698
This year, particularly with the Spalding dam issues is that

178
00:13:11,698 --> 00:13:12,499
the water is now as unregulated for.

179
00:13:12,499 --> 00:13:14,751
We can get fluctuations where you could be.

180
00:13:14,751 --> 00:13:17,454
In the middle of the river in the morning, standing

181
00:13:17,454 --> 00:13:18,322
on a rock high and dry. And then in the

182
00:13:18,322 --> 00:13:19,907
afternoon, you can be knee deep in water.

183
00:13:19,907 --> 00:13:20,874
And it all depends on how much heat they have.

184
00:13:20,874 --> 00:13:22,420
That's gonna melt the snow. It's gonna come into the lakes

185
00:13:22,420 --> 00:13:26,842
bawling and it's gonna spill over the dam.

186
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,885
Being aware that change can happennd being aware when

187
00:13:31,885 --> 00:13:34,821
it's happening to be able to move to higher ground

188
00:13:34,821 --> 00:13:37,641
so that you're safe and your family is safe.

189
00:13:37,641 --> 00:13:39,420
So what you should do if you get caught in

190
00:13:39,420 --> 00:13:42,642
the R make your feet forward.

191
00:13:43,981 --> 00:13:48,252
Downriver that's the biggest part is gain your feet down

192
00:13:48,252 --> 00:13:49,186
river. And if you have to flow, you go with

193
00:13:49,186 --> 00:13:50,254
the flow of the river. Look out ahead of you look for

194
00:13:50,254 --> 00:13:52,689
any ways to escape any access out.

195
00:13:52,689 --> 00:13:55,659
Any tree branches hanging over, yell for help and stay

196
00:13:55,659 --> 00:14:01,590
calm. That's the number one thing is stay calm.

197
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,741
Stakeholder, but the biggest part is understand that

198
00:14:10,741 --> 00:14:12,741
what's important is.

199
00:14:16,513 --> 00:14:20,500
Being safe. The more risk there is the more hazard

200
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:21,718
there is for somebody that, who you could get knocked

201
00:14:21,718 --> 00:14:22,653
over slip and fall into the river. And.

202
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:28,653
Speaking the colder, the water is gonna be as well.

203
00:14:33,197 --> 00:14:34,932
Whether you live in our Oak Woodlands.

204
00:14:34,932 --> 00:14:38,100
Woodlands or Alpine forest. If you're a resident of Nevada

205
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:39,469
county, then one. To defensible space.

206
00:14:39,469 --> 00:14:41,869
And green waste collection.

207
00:14:45,492 --> 00:14:52,920
All efforts make a difference. We are all in this together.

00:15:06,430 --> 00:15:07,598

rg.

210
00:15:12,219 --> 00:15:13,487
What people should not bring to the river is out

211
00:15:13,487 --> 00:15:14,454
on the rocks. And it becomes a hazard for not

212
00:15:14,454 --> 00:15:16,454
only.

213
00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:23,196
You but other people at the river, if you're coming

214
00:15:23,196 --> 00:15:24,164
to the river, that's wonderful. Enjoy it. It's

215
00:15:24,164 --> 00:15:26,564
an incredibly magical place.

216
00:15:33,340 --> 00:15:34,341
But take all of the trash that you brought with

217
00:15:34,341 --> 00:15:35,342
you, everything that you brought, bring that back

218
00:15:35,342 --> 00:15:37,342
out with you.

219
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:06,186
Something like that. Take county alerts.

220
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:17,430
Alerts Nevada county alerts, MBA inform.

221
00:16:22,973 --> 00:16:24,973
Emergency alerts.

222
00:16:28,845 --> 00:16:32,282
Have see, I would prefer that. No, I did not

223
00:16:32,282 --> 00:16:33,417
go. So usually it's on days. I can't. Yeah.

224
00:16:33,417 --> 00:16:36,417
All right. Good morning, everybody.

225
00:16:36,687 --> 00:16:39,220

235
00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:24,267
routine and non-controversial the

236
00:17:24,267 --> 00:17:25,669
board of supervisors will act upon them at one time

237
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:27,400
without discussion. Any board member may request

238
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,404
that an item be removed from the consent calendar.

239
00:17:33,643 --> 00:17:34,745

260
00:18:33,770 --> 00:18:38,570
Is there any other public comment on consent?

00:19:19,117 --> 00:19:23,317
down and address this item for us?

275
00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:37,669
Good morning chair members of the board. My name is

276
00:19:37,669 --> 00:19:39,204
Aaron Metler. I'm your deputy. County executive officer and

277
00:19:39,204 --> 00:19:41,204
chief fiscal officer.

278
00:19:46,277 --> 00:19:48,646
The item before you is a policy that was established

279
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:50,348
to alleviate an administrative bottleneck within our Workday

280
00:19:50,348 --> 00:19:52,751
financial system. It does not delegate authority

281
00:19:52,751 --> 00:19:54,652
for the purpose of appropriating

282
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:55,820
budget above. What is already established

283
00:19:55,820 --> 00:20:00,200
and adopted by the board of supervisors.

284
00:20:03,261 --> 00:20:04,295
Supervisors. It is a administrative override, which

285
00:20:04,295 --> 00:20:08,400
allows us to process the business of the

286
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,368
county as needed. Without having to wait to come

287
00:20:10,368 --> 00:20:13,368
to the board for approval.

288
00:20:14,673 --> 00:20:15,740
The policy does include already a feedback mechanism

289
00:20:15,740 --> 00:20:18,410
with the budget subcommittee whereby we

290
00:20:18,410 --> 00:20:21,279
report to them the. Amount of transactions that

291
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:23,214
are subject to the budget override

292
00:20:23,214 --> 00:20:25,784
control policy. Each request does include

293
00:20:25,784 --> 00:20:29,154
already a citation of the category.

294
00:20:29,154 --> 00:20:33,354
Under which the override is being requested.

295
00:20:35,727 --> 00:20:36,928
And there's also approval required by the CEO's

296
00:20:36,928 --> 00:20:40,432
office, as well as the auditor

297
00:20:40,432 --> 00:20:42,100
controller's office. I'm happy to answer

298
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:43,340
any further. Questions from the board.

299
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:44,235
Okay. Thank you. Questions. Yeah, it's

300
00:20:44,235 --> 00:20:47,105
just wanna. Just I'll ask some questions

301
00:20:47,105 --> 00:20:51,305
that I think I understand already. Sure.

302
00:20:51,309 --> 00:20:52,610
This is just this administrative procedure. It

303
00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:54,546
doesn't delegate. Tell me if I'm right. Does not

304
00:20:54,546 --> 00:20:56,546
delegate anymore.

305
00:20:59,751 --> 00:21:00,818
Authority to, to distribute funds. It's not, it's

306
00:21:00,818 --> 00:21:03,818
really just about shifting categories,

307
00:21:04,556 --> 00:21:06,457
making it work for the reporting.

308
00:21:06,457 --> 00:21:07,625
Requirements, right. That's correct. Okay. Just wanna make

309
00:21:07,625 --> 00:21:10,940
that clear to the public. So thank you

310
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:10,929
very much. Any other board members have

311
00:21:10,929 --> 00:21:13,565
questions on this? Okay, so I will open public

312
00:21:13,565 --> 00:21:15,965
comment on this item.

313
00:21:24,876 --> 00:21:29,547
I'm Michael Taylor district one, I think in short.

314
00:21:29,547 --> 00:21:33,818
That these kinds of changes to the budgets should, should

315
00:21:33,818 --> 00:21:35,753
come. At least to each time it happens. Come to

316
00:21:35,753 --> 00:21:39,757
the chair, just for. The they to hear understands

317
00:21:39,757 --> 00:21:40,925
that this has happened. So I think the safeguard is when

318
00:21:40,925 --> 00:21:44,525
the money is getting moved around.

319
00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:47,699
For whatever reason that the chairs notified that this was

320
00:21:47,699 --> 00:21:50,168
done, I'm not, I'm not suggesting or asking that this

321
00:21:50,168 --> 00:21:53,938
has a full board presentation. I'm just, just that the.

322
00:21:53,938 --> 00:21:55,907
Chair has some knowledge that this is happening. I know

323
00:21:55,907 --> 00:21:57,976
there's been some talk about the same thing with HR.

324
00:21:57,976 --> 00:22:01,412
And again, my concern. Is that those changes.

325
00:22:01,412 --> 00:22:03,114
Changes that it should evolve the, the public.

326
00:22:03,114 --> 00:22:05,114
At least be

327
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:11,456
directed to the chairs for her own knowledge, the knowledge

328
00:22:11,456 --> 00:22:14,920
of the chair, not necessarily her. Thank you.

329
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,327
Thank you. Is there any other public comment on this

330
00:22:16,327 --> 00:22:18,327
item?

331
00:22:23,434 --> 00:22:24,435
I will close the public comment. And I will say

332
00:22:24,435 --> 00:22:26,271
that it does go to the chair through the budget

333
00:22:26,271 --> 00:22:27,438
subcommittee, which is made up of the chair and the

334
00:22:27,438 --> 00:22:29,474
vice chair. So we actually. Two people actually are in the

335
00:22:29,474 --> 00:22:31,276
loop on that. So thank you for bringing that up.

336
00:22:31,276 --> 00:22:33,278
All right. There's no other discussion. I would entertain a

337
00:22:33,278 --> 00:22:37,478
motion in a second. So both second.

338
00:22:39,817 --> 00:22:41,817
District one.

339
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:47,580
Yes. District five. Yes. District two. Yes. District

340
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:50,658
four. Yes. District three. Yes. Motion

341
00:22:50,828 --> 00:22:54,999

00:22:54,999 --> 00:22:57,702
are gonna hear from our county librarian.

343
00:22:57,702 --> 00:22:59,702
Come on down.

344
00:23:03,174 --> 00:23:04,175
We have a resolution approving an acceptance of

345
00:23:04,175 --> 00:23:07,979
$43,400 donation from the friends of the Nevada

346
00:23:07,979 --> 00:23:09,848
county library. And I think we just wanted to

347
00:23:09,848 --> 00:23:11,848
have you.

348
00:23:13,318 --> 00:23:15,787
Be recognized this and kind of give us an overview

349
00:23:15,787 --> 00:23:18,323
of what you're looking at. Yeah. I, I would, sorry.

350
00:23:18,323 --> 00:23:19,824
I would love to do that. Thank you. Chair Swarthout and

351
00:23:19,824 --> 00:23:21,726
the rest of the board of supervisors for the

352
00:23:21,726 --> 00:23:23,962
opportunity here. To discuss a little bit about

353
00:23:23,962 --> 00:23:26,362
the Nevada county library.

Some are learning program and the way that that is

355
00:23:31,503 --> 00:23:35,273
supported by friends of the Nevada county libraries.

356
00:23:35,273 --> 00:23:38,476
Friends of the Nevada county libraries are the friends on

So I'm gonna go to the next slide here.

360
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:54,806
So again, the, the friends.

361
00:23:59,947 --> 00:24:02,450
Contribution is a, is a major part of, of how

362
00:24:02,450 --> 00:24:04,936
we put on our summer learning program. And you can

363
00:24:04,936 --> 00:24:08,856
see for this past summer, they contributed $43,400.

364
00:24:08,856 --> 00:24:12,310
That went to performers. It went to prizes for kids.

365
00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:16,447
Different programs going on. All the games that we have and

366
00:24:16,447 --> 00:24:18,566

367
00:24:18,566 --> 00:24:21,566
And the subsequent prizes there.

368
00:24:55,670 --> 00:25:00,470
For the summer leading reading challenge, 3,700 new library.

369
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,316
Cards were created. We offered 336 programs over the three

370
00:25:08,316 --> 00:25:09,183
months. We distributed over 2000 books

371
00:25:09,183 --> 00:25:13,383
for kids to keep in their homes.

372
00:25:16,491 --> 00:25:17,525
Homes over 2000 lunches were distributed. Those are

373
00:25:17,525 --> 00:25:20,780
free lunches atat grass valley library

374
00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:24,832
and Madeline hilling library. And we had about 550 hours.

375
00:25:24,832 --> 00:25:27,832
Worked with, by teen interns.

376
00:26:05,150 --> 00:26:07,652
Here just art kids. And they learned a lot about

377
00:26:07,652 --> 00:26:09,454
the library and did a lot of really wonderful work.

378
00:26:09,454 --> 00:26:12,700
And so it's just a brief. Recap of the contribution,

379
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:16,194
the friends. Made to the library, what we

380
00:26:16,194 --> 00:26:20,394
were able to do with those funds.

381
00:26:23,852 --> 00:26:25,904
And the impacts that we had in the county, so

382
00:26:25,904 --> 00:26:28,106
wanted to share that really quickly. And we do have

383
00:26:28,106 --> 00:26:32,360
a member of the friends. With us toda

384
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:34,329
So Matisse, would you like to come down just really

385
00:26:34,329 --> 00:26:36,329
quick?

386
00:26:39,618 --> 00:26:43,400
All right. I just want to introduce Matisse Genti Hayes

387
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,407
to the group here. And thank her for

388
00:26:45,407 --> 00:26:47,580
the work that the friends have done to support the

389
00:26:47,580 --> 00:26:49,461
library and to support. Kids and families in the

390
00:26:49,461 --> 00:26:52,461
communities. Thank you so much.

391
00:26:56,117 --> 00:26:58,690
Thank you, Nick. And hello, and good morning to everyone

392
00:26:58,690 --> 00:27:00,272
on the board. I just wanna speak on behalf of

393
00:27:00,272 --> 00:27:04,472
the friends of the Nevada county libraries.

394
00:27:04,893 --> 00:27:06,940
That the ability to be part of the good news

395
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:08,246
brigade is such a privilege. We actually ha a board

396
00:27:08,246 --> 00:27:09,548
meeting ourselves this evening. So I look forward

397
00:27:09,548 --> 00:27:12,517
to sharing this with my.

398
00:27:12,517 --> 00:27:14,903
Colleagues and we ha full intent to continue to fund

399
00:27:14,903 --> 00:27:19,703
and support the libraries for these enrichment programs.

400
00:27:21,226 --> 00:27:22,227
Programs. I'm a mother, myself. My daughter went

401
00:27:22,227 --> 00:27:25,514
to many of the fun musical mornings

402
00:27:25,514 --> 00:27:30,314
here this summer, and I know that particularly.

403
00:27:32,604 --> 00:27:33,772
These programs are critical for kids in our public school

404
00:27:33,772 --> 00:27:35,230
system and ensuring that they have activities during

405
00:27:35,230 --> 00:27:36,558
the summer. So we've so fully support the.

406
00:27:36,558 --> 00:27:38,760
County and Nick, and thank you for your time today.

407
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Thank you. Okay.

408
00:27:43,398 --> 00:27:47,335
So much. So any questions for our librarian? Thank you.

409
00:27:47,335 --> 00:27:50,935
Okay. So open public comment. Is

410
00:27:51,940 --> 00:27:57,340
there anybody who'd like to speak on this item?

411
00:27:58,460 --> 00:27:59,214
Well, seeing nobody, we will close public comment and just

412
00:27:59,214 --> 00:28:05,214
bring it back to the board. And. Offer up some

413
00:28:06,988 --> 00:28:08,924
I think. Thanks. So Sue, go ahead. Yeah. Nick, thanks

414
00:28:08,924 --> 00:28:12,561
and Matisse. Thanks like this is these funding is critical

415
00:28:12,561 --> 00:28:16,364
to how our lovers function. And, and it keeps things. I

416
00:28:16,364 --> 00:28:17,832
mean, we look at our library as just our

417
00:28:17,832 --> 00:28:19,801
opening door to the world. Right. We have kids that get

418
00:28:19,801 --> 00:28:21,903
to read. I love. This whole, the agricultural

419
00:28:21,903 --> 00:28:24,272
side back of this was pretty exciting to see. I love the

420
00:28:24,272 --> 00:28:28,176
little bunnies. Bunnies, you know, a lot of

421
00:28:28,176 --> 00:28:29,211
kids won't see that anywhere. And, and it's

422
00:28:29,211 --> 00:28:30,912
another opportunity that we, we offer

423
00:28:30,912 --> 00:28:31,880
through the libraries, the lunches.

424
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,480
What, what programs are so important?

425
00:28:37,686 --> 00:28:41,223
Here. Sometimes we like take it for granted, but it's

426
00:28:41,223 --> 00:28:43,291
costly. And it's one of those things that, where that

427
00:28:43,291 --> 00:28:47,950
funding. I don't know what we would do.

428
00:28:47,950 --> 00:28:49,970
Same thing with north San Juan in a, in a

429
00:28:49,970 --> 00:28:51,132
rural area that has a little library up there. That's

430
00:28:51,132 --> 00:28:53,132
so critical.

431
00:28:56,471 --> 00:29:00,976
To that little community. Right. So I just wanna thank

432
00:29:00,976 --> 00:29:02,944
you. And Nick, thank you. And your team. It looked

433
00:29:02,944 --> 00:29:08,283
like they had just a fun, great. Summer, and I love seeing the

434
00:29:08,283 --> 00:29:09,417
kid interns being involved. I think that's huge. I think

435
00:29:09,417 --> 00:29:10,552
that interaction with the littles, with the, the high

436
00:29:10,552 --> 00:29:12,420
school kids. Is it just evolves a really

437
00:29:12,420 --> 00:29:15,457
great spirit. And so I just wanna thank you. That's

438
00:29:15,457 --> 00:29:16,725
was really great to see the presentation. So

439
00:29:16,725 --> 00:29:18,593
thank you. Rob, any comments? No. Thank

440
00:29:18,593 --> 00:29:20,593

00:29:23,465 --> 00:29:26,134
Yeah, well done. Thank you. I love the summer programs

442
00:29:26,134 --> 00:29:27,936
that you have. There looks like you had a great

443
00:29:27,936 --> 00:29:29,537
group of people in LA, a. Large number of kids and books

444
00:29:29,537 --> 00:29:31,937
given out, which is.

445
00:29:35,343 --> 00:29:37,245
How, you know, means our system is healthy and doing

446
00:29:37,245 --> 00:29:39,247
what it's supposed to do. And Matisse also, thank you

447
00:29:39,247 --> 00:29:41,199

448
00:29:41,199 --> 00:29:44,199

449
00:29:44,719 --> 00:29:46,210
Yeah, thank you. Friends of the library, powerful

00:29:46,210 --> 00:29:49,210
groups, but so appreciate the.

00:29:52,911 --> 00:29:55,563
know, facilities and staffing is our jam and

453
00:29:55,563 --> 00:29:57,332
takes a lot to keep it going.

454
00:29:57,332 --> 00:29:58,249
But friends digging in and raising funds an

455
00:29:58,249 --> 00:30:00,618

00:30:03,705 --> 00:30:07,905
Yeah. Agreed. Thank you so much. I'm.

458
00:30:12,470 --> 00:30:14,149
I'm you know, libraries have had to pivot so much

459
00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:15,183
over the years because people's reading habits have

460
00:30:15,183 --> 00:30:16,968
changed and you're proding so many more

461
00:30:16,968 --> 00:30:18,670
services now. I'm thrilled to see how many

462
00:30:18,670 --> 00:30:22,870
people are actually using our public library.

463
00:30:24,426 --> 00:30:26,111
Here. And we have when I have business or whatever,

464
00:30:26,111 --> 00:30:27,946
up there to come up to your, at least to

465
00:30:27,946 --> 00:30:30,150
the facility here in GRA in Nevada county, and then

466
00:30:30,150 --> 00:30:31,332
the grass lley. Library. It's just so great to

467
00:30:31,332 --> 00:30:32,500
see the kids enjoying learning and reading and being

468
00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:36,287
excited about. Books and the programming. So

469
00:30:36,287 --> 00:30:37,622
thank you. Thank you to the friends. You know, that's

470
00:30:37,622 --> 00:30:41,822
one of the beauties of a rural.

471
00:30:43,712 --> 00:30:46,431
Community is the support, the private support that we get

472
00:30:46,431 --> 00:30:49,634
for our, our institutions here. And it's much appreciated.

473
00:30:49,634 --> 00:30:51,786
So, thanks. So with that, I would entertain a motion

474
00:30:51,786 --> 00:30:53,880

475
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:55,880

Oh, thanks chair. Oh yeah. Well, it's just my.

482
00:31:19,881 --> 00:31:23,201
I justan't even believe this. When I look at

483
00:31:23,201 --> 00:31:24,235
some of the programs we have in Nevada county. And

484
00:31:24,235 --> 00:31:25,200
so today I get to recognize, or we.

485
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:26,721
e, the food bank, 40th anniversary.

486
00:31:26,721 --> 00:31:28,723
Just tells you how things just really have.

487
00:31:28,723 --> 00:31:32,911
Grown and stayed stable. Through volunteerism and the

488
00:31:32,911 --> 00:31:34,312
hard work of folks. And so, so happy to have you

489
00:31:34,312 --> 00:31:38,733
here today. Thank you and thank you for

490
00:31:38,733 --> 00:31:40,733
this opportunity. So

491
00:31:47,642 --> 00:31:48,943
what I guess I'd like to do, maybe is just

492
00:31:48,943 --> 00:31:50,962
let's. Do I wanna give a little history? It's kind

493
00:31:50,962 --> 00:31:52,197
of like what the resolution is, and then I'd love

494
00:31:52,197 --> 00:31:55,617
for you both the comment on the work that.

495
00:31:55,617 --> 00:31:56,885
You're doing on a daily basis here, if you don't

496
00:31:56,885 --> 00:31:58,853
mind? No, because it's critical right now in our whole

497
00:31:58,853 --> 00:32:00,939
community. We see how many folks are in need and

498
00:32:00,939 --> 00:32:02,740
the work that you are. All doing. So I'm just gonna

499
00:32:02,740 --> 00:32:03,908
do a little background on here. So.

500
00:32:03,908 --> 00:32:05,908
1986.

501
00:32:08,463 --> 00:32:12,303
Was when some members came together and decided

502
00:32:12,303 --> 00:32:13,137
to alleviate hunger in Nevada county.

503
00:32:13,137 --> 00:32:17,937
So this was just a small grassroots group.

504
00:32:21,912 --> 00:32:22,913
And it grew generosity through the commitment in

505
00:32:22,913 --> 00:32:24,782
our community. I think that's important. And

506
00:32:24,782 --> 00:32:26,600
over time, you support luck butters who continue to.

507
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,135
Step forward with businesses, food distributors.

508
00:32:28,135 --> 00:32:29,136
Distributors they've been donating products. The

509
00:32:29,136 --> 00:32:31,220
community food drives. Drives that help keep the

510
00:32:31,220 --> 00:32:32,156
shelves stocked. The partnerships that

511
00:32:32,156 --> 00:32:34,525
you created. Nearly 2 million pounds of

512
00:32:34,525 --> 00:32:36,525
food annually.

513
00:32:39,714 --> 00:32:43,914
31,000 pounds of fresh produce being distributed monthly.

514
00:32:44,335 --> 00:32:47,788
And over 20,000 individuals served here each month.

515
00:32:47,788 --> 00:32:49,890
So as you can see, you guys are an integral

516
00:32:49,890 --> 00:32:53,490
part of how Arle community two.

517
00:32:55,930 --> 00:32:58,265
You help us survive here. Right. And so I do

518
00:32:58,265 --> 00:32:59,834
just wanna thank you so much, and I would love

519
00:32:59,834 --> 00:33:00,951
to give you opportunity to talk a lite bit more

520
00:33:00,951 --> 00:33:01,919
about the program. Supervisor. So, yes, I would

521
00:33:01,919 --> 00:33:04,588
actually like to point out that.

522
00:33:04,588 --> 00:33:08,743
40 years ago, it was a $28,000. Grant from the community

523
00:33:08,743 --> 00:33:10,743
action fund.

524
00:33:14,131 --> 00:33:15,266
Through the county that started the food bank of Nevada

525
00:33:15,266 --> 00:33:19,220
county. So. Thank you for that. We've been

526
00:33:19,220 --> 00:33:21,339
doing a lot of deep diving into our history

527
00:33:21,339 --> 00:33:23,307
and we learned that recently, and I think that's a really

528
00:33:23,307 --> 00:33:24,408
important fact to note. That the county stands behind

529
00:33:24,408 --> 00:33:25,900
us and has for 40 years.

530
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:28,900
So we were founded in.

531
00:33:33,584 --> 00:33:38,384
1986. We have expanded our programs beyond grass valley.

532
00:34:07,435 --> 00:34:08,736
Being healthy food, building community partnerships, and

533
00:34:08,736 --> 00:34:12,936
working to end hunger at its roots.

534
00:34:14,959 --> 00:34:17,111
And we envision a food secure Nevada county, wre every

535
00:34:17,111 --> 00:34:18,179
individual has reliable access to nutritious food and

536
00:34:18,179 --> 00:34:20,579
the opportunity to thrive.

537
00:34:47,608 --> 00:34:52,863
The process. So we have about a 25% increase in

538
00:34:52,863 --> 00:34:54,465
request from community agency, partners and schools to

539
00:34:54,465 --> 00:34:56,100
provide more food to them.

540
00:34:56,100 --> 00:35:01,255
Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do.

541
00:35:01,255 --> 00:35:05,276
We have 243 active volunteers in 2025 giving over 5,000

542
00:35:05,276 --> 00:35:06,210
hours. We're fortunate to have some of those

543
00:35:06,210 --> 00:35:08,210
hardworking volunteers.

544
00:36:13,744 --> 00:36:16,413
it's up there. These are just a handful of

545
00:36:16,413 --> 00:36:18,516
the community agencies that we work directly with and provide

546
00:36:18,516 --> 00:36:22,987
food to every week. And our school snack program.

547
00:36:22,987 --> 00:36:24,989
As I mentioned, we are seeing a huge increase. We

548
00:36:24,989 --> 00:36:26,857
have another six that have already reached out this year

549
00:36:26,857 --> 00:36:31,570
alone to request. Additional food and support.

550
00:36:32,963 --> 00:36:35,963
Nice. The times are changing.

551
00:36:50,281 --> 00:36:51,382
That funding has changed and we have to work together

552
00:36:51,382 --> 00:36:52,383
to meet this need. And we're really proud of the

553
00:36:52,383 --> 00:36:54,418
fact that we've been able to do that so successfully.

554
00:36:54,418 --> 00:36:56,287
The CalFresh changes that went into effect this year have

555
00:36:56,287 --> 00:36:58,289
definitely seen an increase in our load.

556
00:36:58,289 --> 00:36:59,123
And what we need to do to try to meet

557
00:36:59,123 --> 00:37:02,123
those gaps within our community.

558
00:37:06,830 --> 00:37:07,865
We believe food assistance should provide more than

559
00:37:07,865 --> 00:37:09,865
calories. It should.

560
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:16,468
Provide health, dignity, and community. We all call home.

561
00:37:18,843 --> 00:37:20,978
So it's really important to us to provide fresh groceries

562
00:37:20,978 --> 00:37:24,815
that are nutritionally dense meals. So we provide a dry

563
00:37:24,815 --> 00:37:25,583
bag. With vegetables, canned fruit,

564
00:37:25,583 --> 00:37:28,118
canned vegetables, canned proteins, and some

565
00:37:28,118 --> 00:37:29,860
carbs beans and rice and pasta. We provide an.

566
00:37:29,860 --> 00:37:30,120
Entire bag 40% of what we provide should be fresh

567
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,556
produce. We are committed to meeting that mark. We did

568
00:37:32,556 --> 00:37:34,910
it last year and we're working towards it for this.

569
00:37:34,910 --> 00:37:35,225
Year as well. And majority of that is purchased through

570
00:37:35,225 --> 00:37:36,293
local farmers. What we can't get through local

571
00:37:36,293 --> 00:37:39,893
farmers resource through our, our watershed.

572
00:37:44,468 --> 00:37:48,405
In that region. And that meant that in 2025, we

573
00:37:48,405 --> 00:37:52,500
invested over $150,000 in our local farms.

574
00:38:18,168 --> 00:38:19,903
Access to healthy accomplished in the last year. And we're

575
00:38:19,903 --> 00:38:24,103
really looking ahead to the next 40 years.

576
00:38:26,276 --> 00:38:28,812
Well, my bad Brett, I didn't even introduce you.

577
00:38:28,812 --> 00:38:30,547
I just, we looked at you. I know you isn't

578
00:38:30,547 --> 00:38:34,718
that I'm, I'm so bad. But Brett Bentley, you have

579
00:38:34,718 --> 00:38:36,662
been a great asset to this, to the food bank over

580
00:38:36,662 --> 00:38:41,462
then. Welcome. I'm so happy you were there.

581
00:38:42,702 --> 00:38:43,736
And the work that you're doing. I see a couple

582
00:38:43,736 --> 00:38:44,837
of your board members here, Yolanda Cookson and Rachel

583
00:38:44,837 --> 00:38:46,672
Pena. Yes. Are both on the board. And so

584
00:38:46,672 --> 00:38:50,209
it takes a big team in a.

585
00:38:50,209 --> 00:38:52,411
Village. It does. It really does. And you guys just

586
00:38:52,411 --> 00:38:54,847
exemplify what that does in Nevada county. So I just

587
00:38:54,847 --> 00:38:56,182
wanna thank you for that. Thank you. I would like

588
00:38:56,182 --> 00:38:56,916
to highlight. Daphne Morgan, our

589
00:38:56,916 --> 00:38:57,883
development manager. And Carrie Downing, our

590
00:38:57,883 --> 00:38:59,883
operations manager.

591
00:39:03,389 --> 00:39:04,690
These two help make it possible for us to do

592
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:06,492
what we do every day. That's fantastic. And the rest

593
00:39:06,492 --> 00:39:08,227
of our team who unfortunately has to be there because

594
00:39:08,227 --> 00:39:12,732
we have a pack and a home. Delivery going out today.

595
00:39:12,732 --> 00:39:15,670
Yeah. I, when you look at the mapping of where you guys

596
00:39:15,670 --> 00:39:16,869
touch in Nevada county, and now that you're taking on

597
00:39:16,869 --> 00:39:18,337
camp Deville, which is interesting.

598
00:39:18,337 --> 00:39:19,572
Cuz they used to come to our food bank. There

599
00:39:19,572 --> 00:39:20,406
was a few of 'em that came. So I love

600
00:39:20,406 --> 00:39:21,574
to see that too. Yes. Yeah. Thank you for that.

601
00:39:21,574 --> 00:39:23,574
Thank you chair.

602
00:39:26,579 --> 00:39:30,783
Right. Thank you. So, any comments or questions from the

603
00:39:30,783 --> 00:39:33,183
board? Hardy? Any comments?

604
00:39:34,587 --> 00:39:38,157
Comments. Yeah. Amazing that you have the logistics to get

605
00:39:38,157 --> 00:39:39,158
all that done in 20,000 people a month. Is that

606
00:39:39,158 --> 00:39:40,326
right? Yes, that's correct. Yeah. That's quite impressive.

607
00:39:40,326 --> 00:39:41,360
Job well done to the board and all the volunteers

608
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,760
will make it happen.

609
00:39:46,866 --> 00:39:48,834
My little town of Washington out there is a beneficiary

610
00:39:48,834 --> 00:39:51,671
of your services as well through other charitable

611
00:39:51,671 --> 00:39:52,605
organizations. And they always comment on.

612
00:39:52,605 --> 00:39:53,539
That day is one of the biggest days, cuz it

613
00:39:53,539 --> 00:39:56,539
brings a whole community together.

614
00:40:02,214 --> 00:40:03,249
When they deliver the food. So thanks. And then I

615
00:40:03,249 --> 00:40:04,250
wanted to comment and we had a meeting in east,

616
00:40:04,250 --> 00:40:05,840
east county with the food hub and.

617
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:06,520
And how complex moving food around was because

618
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:07,253
it's obviously it's perishable. Right. And

619
00:40:07,253 --> 00:40:08,954
so, yes, trying to get. Farmers in the west county to

620
00:40:08,954 --> 00:40:12,554
deliver fresh food and supply people.

621
00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:17,363
Both in Eden people who can afford to pay for

622
00:40:17,363 --> 00:40:18,831
it themselves in east county was just huge

623
00:40:18,831 --> 00:40:20,132
logistical challenge. So job well done in keeping it

624
00:40:20,132 --> 00:40:22,268
all moving forward and.

625
00:40:22,268 --> 00:40:23,836
Can't support you enough in your mission. Anything we can

626
00:40:23,836 --> 00:40:29,236
do to help. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you, Eddie.

627
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:31,777
Yeah. Thank you. Also extremely grateful for the

628
00:40:31,777 --> 00:40:34,313
work that you do. I know when it was

629
00:40:34,313 --> 00:40:37,816
looking tough a couple years or last year.

630
00:40:37,816 --> 00:40:39,818
That. I mean, I personally made a commitment to make

631
00:40:39,818 --> 00:40:40,853
some financial contributions to make sure you guys,

632
00:40:40,853 --> 00:40:42,421
we cannot lose you to make sure.

633
00:40:42,421 --> 00:40:47,793
You can stay open and thrive. Unappreciate how much

634
00:40:47,793 --> 00:40:49,728
additional work you've had to take on, honestly, this is

635
00:40:49,728 --> 00:40:55,728
not a comment to you, but to me it's highly.

636
00:40:57,503 --> 00:40:59,772
Depressing that the one of the richest countries in the

637
00:40:59,772 --> 00:41:01,907
world has to have this food is the best way

638
00:41:01,907 --> 00:41:05,611
we can keep people healthy. It's a human right. In my

639
00:41:05,611 --> 00:41:08,800
view. And if we had a better economy that

640
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,715
worked for everybody, we wouldn't

641
00:41:09,715 --> 00:41:13,352
have to do this. So that's, you know,

642
00:41:13,352 --> 00:41:15,654
a challenge that I personally am working on other ways.

643
00:41:15,654 --> 00:41:18,557
but in the meantime, we've got to have, we've

644
00:41:18,557 --> 00:41:19,925
got to do our part to make. Sure that people have food

645
00:41:19,925 --> 00:41:25,164
and nourishment. And that we can get it to them

646
00:41:25,164 --> 00:41:26,899
even in the far flung areas. So as

647
00:41:26,899 --> 00:41:29,902
Hardy said, anything I can do to help support you.

648
00:41:29,902 --> 00:41:34,373
Any partnerships we can help. Navigate with you. Just

649
00:41:34,373 --> 00:41:37,910
continue to do the good work. I appreciate that. You're

650
00:41:37,910 --> 00:41:39,912
planning ahead. Again, unfortunate that we

651
00:41:39,912 --> 00:41:42,915
need to expect that this will continue.

652
00:41:42,915 --> 00:41:43,949
But keep, keep up the good work and let us

653
00:41:43,949 --> 00:41:49,755
know what we can do. Thank you. Rob are your comments?

654
00:41:49,755 --> 00:41:54,260
Comments. Yeah. Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get over

655
00:41:54,260 --> 00:41:57,196
the fact that 1986 was 40 years ago. .

656
00:41:57,196 --> 00:41:59,196
But

657
00:42:04,670 --> 00:42:05,804
yeah. You know, we see a lot of numbers that

658
00:42:05,804 --> 00:42:07,606
come up here and those numbers you had up are

659
00:42:07,606 --> 00:42:08,641
just like, eye-popping the 2 million pounds and the

660
00:42:08,641 --> 00:42:10,641
20,000 people.

661
00:42:13,846 --> 00:42:16,849
Served. And then when you translate that down to what

662
00:42:16,849 --> 00:42:17,950
it really means on the ground, you know, the families,

663
00:42:17,950 --> 00:42:20,819
the kids, the seniors, it it's really cool.

664
00:42:20,819 --> 00:42:22,254
And really impressive. So keep up the good work and

665
00:42:22,254 --> 00:42:27,193
we're happy to support it. Thanks. Thanks. Go ahead. Okay.

666
00:42:27,193 --> 00:42:29,328
Yeah, no, I appreciate all the work that you do.

667
00:42:29,328 --> 00:42:30,829
And for me, it's twofold. It's helping people in our

668
00:42:30,829 --> 00:42:32,829
community.

669
00:42:35,134 --> 00:42:37,536
With, you know, nutrition and food, but also it's making,

670
00:42:37,536 --> 00:42:39,138
so we don't have to throw all that food away,

671
00:42:39,138 --> 00:42:44,293
which it's astounding to me. In the restaurant business and

672
00:42:44,293 --> 00:42:46,979
in the grocery business, how ch food does get thrown

673
00:42:46,979 --> 00:42:49,140
away. So I think there's been some legislative moves to

674
00:42:49,140 --> 00:42:50,349
make it. Easier for people to

675
00:42:50,349 --> 00:42:52,168
contribute. I know in thcommunity,

676
00:42:52,168 --> 00:42:55,168
when people have fundraising events,

677
00:42:57,556 --> 00:43:00,920
events, their first thought if they have leftover food is

678
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,770
to, to the food bank. Mm-hmm which I, I

679
00:43:02,770 --> 00:43:03,412
think we've done a, you guys have done a really

680
00:43:03,412 --> 00:43:06,331
great job in the. Community marketing and

681
00:43:06,331 --> 00:43:08,634
showing the need for it. So people automatically think

682
00:43:08,634 --> 00:43:10,919
let's go to the, let's give this

683
00:43:10,919 --> 00:43:14,490
to the food bank. We live in a. Very very generous community.

684
00:43:14,490 --> 00:43:17,609
We're very lucky. But the work that you guys do is in been

685
00:43:17,609 --> 00:43:19,345
incredible, you know, not many agencies

686
00:43:19,345 --> 00:43:23,545
or organizations. Hit that 40 year mark. We've

687
00:43:23,665 --> 00:43:25,284
had a few in the last couple of months in

688
00:43:25,284 --> 00:43:28,253
the county, and we're very proud of the, you know,

689
00:43:28,253 --> 00:43:29,788
the people who live here, cuz it truly is

690
00:43:29,788 --> 00:43:30,639
the people. Who make the difference? You

691
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:35,439
and your staff, your, your board members. I.

692
00:43:38,330 --> 00:43:41,100
Had the opportunity to attend your fundraiser a few years

693
00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:42,267
ago. It was fantastic. Got you. Brought Andrew Zimmer here

694
00:43:42,267 --> 00:43:43,369
who was one of my fav favorite reality.

695
00:43:43,369 --> 00:43:46,739
People. So, and just his discussion on.

696
00:43:46,739 --> 00:43:48,807
On, I think just to echo what, what Heidi said

697
00:43:48,807 --> 00:43:50,609
that, you know, we're the richest country in the world,

698
00:43:50,609 --> 00:43:52,911
but yet we still have food insecurity.

699
00:43:52,911 --> 00:43:54,680
Here and, and he's working on it, which was really

700
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,515
impressive. So I, I know you follow that mission as

701
00:43:56,515 --> 00:43:58,515
well, so.

702
00:44:01,553 --> 00:44:02,888
Thanks for all that you're doing. I've actually been over

703
00:44:02,888 --> 00:44:04,823
there. I haven't volunteered for a while. I need to

704
00:44:04,823 --> 00:44:06,692
come back and do a shift, please do, but you

705
00:44:06,692 --> 00:44:09,161
have a very impressive. System. Thank you. Which

706
00:44:09,161 --> 00:44:11,997
that's probably the hardest part is

707
00:44:11,997 --> 00:44:13,899
setting up the system to distribute food out to people.

708
00:44:13,899 --> 00:44:17,102
So. So any final comments before I

709
00:44:17,102 --> 00:44:19,400
open it up? No, thank you. I know there's one

710
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,906
more thing I just wanted to it's it's easy

711
00:44:20,906 --> 00:44:24,410
to volunteer. Mm-hmm and it's great. So

712
00:44:24,410 --> 00:44:26,545
even at distribution days, like in north San Juan,

713
00:44:26,545 --> 00:44:28,800
there's a group that comes and pin valley. Thank you for

714
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,982
picking up pin valley. Cuz we lost that for a.

715
00:44:29,982 --> 00:44:31,850
Bit, and the rotary does that in the morning. So.

716
00:44:31,850 --> 00:44:33,952
Anybody can come and be a part of this, depending

717
00:44:33,952 --> 00:44:36,555
if you see all the little spots. Where we distribute. So if

718
00:44:36,555 --> 00:44:40,755
you're, you've not packing from the main.

719
00:44:41,827 --> 00:44:43,829
Place there's places where you can go and volunteer in

720
00:44:43,829 --> 00:44:46,198
your local little communities. And we appreciate the work that

721
00:44:46,198 --> 00:44:50,903
goes into that. And like in north San Juan, I

722
00:44:50,903 --> 00:44:51,937
love it because we it's also collaborated and

723
00:44:51,937 --> 00:44:53,772
we have healthy Tuesdays. Yes. Right. So there's this

724
00:44:53,772 --> 00:44:56,772
opportunity that happens inside of.

725
00:44:58,544 --> 00:44:59,545
Our county. That's really very, very special. So

726
00:44:59,545 --> 00:45:01,800
put that. Thank you, chair. Thank you.

727
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:02,966
All right. So with that, I will open it up for a public

728
00:45:02,966 --> 00:45:04,267
comment. If there's anybody who would

729
00:45:04,267 --> 00:45:09,670
like to. Comment, I'm looking at you. No.

730
00:45:13,143 --> 00:45:16,713
that's okay. We'll get that on camera and post it

731
00:45:16,713 --> 00:45:19,216
all over YouTube. That's that's good.

732
00:45:19,216 --> 00:45:21,685
Good morning chair and board of supervisors. My name is

733
00:45:21,685 --> 00:45:23,787
Yolanda Cookson, and today I am here on behalf.

734
00:45:23,787 --> 00:45:26,423
Of the food bank. I am the board's secretary.

735
00:45:26,423 --> 00:45:28,240
Because they're not gonna let me be the president. Let's

736
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:31,461
be honest. . But I've thought if I had the

737
00:45:31,461 --> 00:45:33,864
opportunity to speak, I would share.

738
00:45:33,864 --> 00:45:37,464
Last year's summer. Lunch story. Mm-hmm .

739
00:45:39,986 --> 00:45:41,454
I decided that that would be a fun thing for

740
00:45:41,454 --> 00:45:43,454
me to do.

741
00:45:49,563 --> 00:45:51,498
And being a mama. I was like, yeah, this is

742
00:45:51,498 --> 00:45:53,350
gonna be great. I got to the food bank, they

743
00:45:53,350 --> 00:45:55,518
were preparing me like, this is what you do. Da,

744
00:45:55,518 --> 00:45:56,653
da da. These are the sign. Signs, the kids will see your

745
00:45:56,653 --> 00:45:57,721
car. And I broke down.

746
00:45:57,721 --> 00:46:00,730
Because I realized my son.

747
00:46:00,730 --> 00:46:04,160
Has never had to go up to a stranger's car.

748
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,360
To get nourishment. And it broke me.

749
00:46:08,715 --> 00:46:10,617
To know that there's children in our community.

750
00:46:10,617 --> 00:46:15,805
That have to do that. I I cleaned up.

751
00:46:15,805 --> 00:46:22,405
Went out to the location. I did not cry the children.

752
00:46:25,331 --> 00:46:28,868
re amazing. They were so happy to see me. They

753
00:46:28,868 --> 00:46:31,210
were so happy. I had frozen pizza.

754
00:46:31,210 --> 00:46:32,789
It was amazing. And I left there and I wasn't

755
00:46:32,789 --> 00:46:34,900
crying. And I was filled with joy

756
00:46:34,900 --> 00:46:36,576
because I had a purpose.

757
00:46:36,576 --> 00:46:39,295
You know, I work for the California.

758
00:46:39,295 --> 00:46:42,295
gislature. And it's hard sometimes.

759
00:46:42,432 --> 00:46:45,510
Because sometimes I don't feel like I have a purpose.

760
00:46:45,510 --> 00:46:49,220
We do a lot of things. And sometimes nothing actually

761
00:46:49,220 --> 00:46:53,176
comes of it. But that day I was able.

762
00:46:53,176 --> 00:46:55,576
To help feed children.

763
00:47:02,519 --> 00:47:05,739
During summertime because they didn't have a safe place to

764
00:47:05,739 --> 00:47:09,175
go to get food. And that's why I'm on the

765
00:47:09,175 --> 00:47:09,959
board. And that's why I'm here today.

766
00:47:09,959 --> 00:47:15,359
And that's why I will boldly ask you because.

767
00:47:15,415 --> 00:47:18,518
My executive director is too polite. .

768
00:47:18,518 --> 00:47:22,739
Something that I will continue to come here every yr

769
00:47:22,739 --> 00:47:23,540
to do. Is ask you to please consider.

770
00:47:23,540 --> 00:47:29,540
To put food. As a line item in your budget.

771
00:47:32,882 --> 00:47:35,368
Some type of way that the community knows that you

772
00:47:35,368 --> 00:47:39,500
have financial investment. Not only in our young people.

773
00:47:39,500 --> 00:47:41,405
But respectfully seven yearago.

774
00:47:41,958 --> 00:47:43,993
My income starting for the state assembly.

775
00:47:43,993 --> 00:47:49,393
Qualified me. To get food from the food bank.

776
00:47:50,567 --> 00:47:52,469
So the reality of that is huge people.

777
00:47:52,469 --> 00:47:57,257
And so I would just ask you. To consider it. I know it's

778
00:47:57,257 --> 00:47:59,657
probably five years out.

779
00:48:01,945 --> 00:48:03,713
But it's important that we ask. And I really appreciate

780
00:48:03,713 --> 00:48:07,634
you guys saying that. You're here to support us. So

781
00:48:07,634 --> 00:48:10,200
thank you for the 40 years of support.

782
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:16,200
And I look forward to 40 more. Thanks guys. Thank you.

783
00:48:22,165 --> 00:48:24,634
Hi, good morning. My name's Rachel Pena and I live in

784
00:48:24,634 --> 00:48:26,152
district three And I'm also on the board of

785
00:48:26,152 --> 00:48:28,152
the food bank.

786
00:48:32,742 --> 00:48:34,778
And then full disclosure. I'm also the director of social

787
00:48:34,778 --> 00:48:40,550
services. And the reason that I'm sending today is because.

788
00:48:40,550 --> 00:48:43,860
I'm the Karen shelter lead for Nevada county. And a

789
00:48:43,860 --> 00:48:45,138
thing that we, that we didn't really talk about is

790
00:48:45,138 --> 00:48:49,309
the vital. Importance of the food bank

791
00:48:49,309 --> 00:48:52,428
during any emergency. So with any temporary evacuation point

792
00:48:52,428 --> 00:48:54,931
or any shelter, the food bank has been our first.

793
00:48:54,931 --> 00:48:56,683
Partner like within minutes. I can have somebody at the

794
00:48:56,683 --> 00:48:58,683
food bank on.

795
00:49:02,405 --> 00:49:05,240
Text ready to come out in the middle of Snowmageddon

796
00:49:05,240 --> 00:49:08,428
or in the middle of a huge fire evacuation.

797
00:49:08,428 --> 00:49:12,628
With food, with water, with supplies for.

798
00:49:14,684 --> 00:49:17,136
The temporary evacuaon point or for the people who are

799
00:49:17,136 --> 00:49:18,404
evacuating from their homes because of the emergency

800
00:49:18,404 --> 00:49:20,857
or people who don't have food in their.

801
00:49:20,857 --> 00:49:23,590
Homes because they're trapped due to weather. And so.

802
00:49:23,590 --> 00:49:25,345
It, this has just been the most incredible partnership.

803
00:49:25,345 --> 00:49:26,412
We also talked a little bit about.

804
00:49:26,412 --> 00:49:28,812
The impacts of CalFresh.

805
00:49:31,668 --> 00:49:33,169
So the food bank's been an important partner for our

806
00:49:33,169 --> 00:49:37,969
social services department, our county as a whole.

807
00:49:39,692 --> 00:49:41,440
Making sure people are supported. So anyway, that's

808
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,413
also why I volunteer my time as a board

809
00:49:43,413 --> 00:49:45,565
member, because this is just such an credible.

810
00:49:45,565 --> 00:49:46,816
Organization. And I just wanna thank you for

811
00:49:46,816 --> 00:49:49,216
recognizing us. Thank you.

812
00:49:51,171 --> 00:49:53,306
Is there anybody else who wishes to speak on this?

813
00:49:53,306 --> 00:49:56,306
All right. Any phone calls?

814
00:49:59,162 --> 00:50:02,315
No callers chair. Okay. We will close public comment and

815
00:50:02,315 --> 00:50:05,915
bring it back to the board.

816
00:50:08,905 --> 00:50:11,240
For a motion and a second. And then we'd love

817
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:13,459
to get a photo off with you and maybe your

818
00:50:13,459 --> 00:50:16,450
board members and your staff. When we, after we do

819
00:50:16,450 --> 00:50:17,800
the resolution or the past. The motion. So I would

820
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,315
entertain a motion in a second.

821
00:50:19,315 --> 00:50:21,315
So moved second.

822
00:50:24,871 --> 00:50:27,323
All right. All those in vor, signify by saying aye.

823
00:50:27,323 --> 00:50:30,323
Aye. Aye. Opposed, extensions. Great.

824
00:50:30,343 --> 00:50:32,278
Lotion carries. Thank you so much. And a big round

825
00:50:32,278 --> 00:50:36,478
of applause for the food bank. Thank.

826
00:50:37,567 --> 00:50:39,567
Right here, picture.

827
00:50:55,385 --> 00:50:59,585
What story I'm gonna cry about today?

828
00:51:42,489 --> 00:51:46,689
All right. Our next item is also

829
00:51:47,211 --> 00:51:49,211
supervisor hug.

830
00:51:51,865 --> 00:51:58,388
I know, like today's my day. And it is just this.

831
00:51:58,388 --> 00:52:01,775
Opportunity today to talk about again.

832
00:52:01,775 --> 00:52:03,744
How people can step up in the midst of a.

833
00:52:03,744 --> 00:52:07,944
Of a, of a an emergency, right.

834
00:52:08,565 --> 00:52:10,965
And so with that,

835
00:52:13,954 --> 00:52:15,355
and I hope I don't mess up these names. And

836
00:52:15,355 --> 00:52:17,741
if I do Isaac, you can kick me later.

837
00:52:17,741 --> 00:52:21,962
But I would love it if. Sean Sullivan.

838
00:52:21,962 --> 00:52:26,750
And I think I have two of these

839
00:52:26,750 --> 00:52:27,851
I'm gonna give today. I want to talk about

840
00:52:27,851 --> 00:52:29,851
what's happening.

841
00:52:31,972 --> 00:52:35,142
So, and Isaac Nove, would you guys come up and

842
00:52:35,142 --> 00:52:36,493
sit just please? Yes. Know, I'm gonna put you on

843
00:52:36,493 --> 00:52:38,428
the spot. But you truly are amazing

844
00:52:38,428 --> 00:52:40,428
young men.

845
00:52:43,183 --> 00:52:46,783
So they both work for our

846
00:52:47,704 --> 00:52:50,104
public works. Sanitation division.

847
00:52:53,527 --> 00:52:55,927
And on this day.

848
00:52:57,514 --> 00:52:58,415
In July, they were out working, doing their

849
00:52:58,415 --> 00:53:02,569
regular job. Just like you do. And they

850
00:53:02,569 --> 00:53:04,972
came upon a mother with two children that had

851
00:53:04,972 --> 00:53:07,324
just had a car accident. And it was a, it was a nasty

852
00:53:07,324 --> 00:53:10,324
little accident. I'm gonna say.

853
00:53:15,382 --> 00:53:16,333
So we're talking young children kd of frantic

854
00:53:16,333 --> 00:53:18,735
a mother wondering my word, how am I

855
00:53:18,735 --> 00:53:20,838
gonna make what's happening here?

856
00:53:20,838 --> 00:53:22,523
Not to mention, I love this. This is what she

857
00:53:22,523 --> 00:53:26,123
wrote. Wrote your two kind employees

858
00:53:27,477 --> 00:53:29,179
found me in my two littles on the side of the

859
00:53:29,179 --> 00:53:31,164
road, just after we crash, they tended to my kids

860
00:53:31,164 --> 00:53:35,736
and assured them mom. Was gonna be okay. We were so

861
00:53:35,736 --> 00:53:37,821
grateful for these sweet dads who cared enough to

862
00:53:37,821 --> 00:53:40,821
love on bloody scared strangers.

863
00:53:41,808 --> 00:53:43,544
Strangers. Doesn't that say a lot? Just, you know, taking

864
00:53:43,544 --> 00:53:45,779
that extra step. I think sometimes I watch people drive

865
00:53:45,779 --> 00:53:46,864

beyond. Thank you. I'll just say that it

884
00:54:45,500 --> 00:54:47,357
wasn't a car accident. It was a young mother.

885
00:54:47,357 --> 00:54:49,260
With two very young children that were.

886
00:54:49,260 --> 00:54:50,227
Taking her kids for a stroll in a red right.

887
00:54:50,227 --> 00:54:54,427
Or wagon. And she was going downhill

888
00:54:54,648 --> 00:54:56,733
into wagon, ended up going outta control, and then they

889
00:54:56,733 --> 00:55:01,533
ended up flipping over into a drainage ditch.

890
00:55:02,122 --> 00:55:04,558
And it actually had knocked her unconscious and we drove

891
00:55:04,558 --> 00:55:06,159
by just right at the right, at the right time

892
00:55:06,159 --> 00:55:08,178
down. So that, that was the, that was the real

893
00:55:08,178 --> 00:55:08,945
story. Of the accident. Yeah. Wow.

894
00:55:08,945 --> 00:55:10,247
That's even a, I didn't know that part of the story,

895
00:55:10,247 --> 00:55:13,247
so that makes it even.

896
00:55:15,936 --> 00:55:17,721
My red wagon. I don't one egg t away from

897
00:55:17,721 --> 00:55:19,289
me going down a hill, my word, you know, how

898
00:55:19,289 --> 00:55:20,791
they get to speed wall. Yeah. Get going fast. And

899
00:55:20,791 --> 00:55:22,420

00:55:22,420 --> 00:55:26,897

Her good day and doing the right thing. Thank you.

907
00:55:44,631 --> 00:55:47,784
Eddie. Yeah. Sean and Isaac. Thank you so much. I

908
00:55:47,784 --> 00:55:49,786
think we all expect that everybody would do.

909
00:55:49,786 --> 00:55:51,210
Exactly that in a moment of crisis, but you don't

910
00:55:51,210 --> 00:55:52,272
really know. Until it happens to you. So

911
00:55:52,272 --> 00:55:54,272
now, you know,

912
00:56:01,980 --> 00:56:02,182
you're that kind of person. Thank you for stepping up

913
00:56:02,182 --> 00:56:03,350
the way you did. Rob

914
00:56:03,350 --> 00:56:04,918
yeah, thank you. You know, I was struck listening to

915
00:56:04,918 --> 00:56:09,118
that, the story of the good Samaritan.

916
00:56:13,460 --> 00:56:14,428
Of course is part of that is that people kind

917
00:56:14,428 --> 00:56:16,196
of pass by before the good Samaritan jumped in and

918
00:56:16,196 --> 00:56:17,214
we were an employee that literay saved somebody's

919
00:56:17,214 --> 00:56:19,614
life on the ice.

920
00:56:20,170 --> 00:56:21,585
In a hockey ring in the video on the news,

921
00:56:21,585 --> 00:56:23,637
showed people skating by prior to that and not to

922
00:56:23,637 --> 00:56:24,805
criticize them, they may not have understood the

923
00:56:24,805 --> 00:56:25,906
magnitude of it.

924
00:56:25,906 --> 00:56:27,324
But it sounds like it's the just so proud that.

925
00:56:27,324 --> 00:56:30,924
So many county employees, including you.

926
00:56:32,679 --> 00:56:35,716
We're hearing stories. They're the ones that didn't just pass

927
00:56:35,716 --> 00:56:39,916
by. They're the ones that stepped up.

928
00:56:41,605 --> 00:56:45,192
So good for you. Le Hardy said, this is a,

929
00:56:45,192 --> 00:56:46,193
a legacy that I'll live on and yeah, just proud

930
00:56:46,193 --> 00:56:47,544
to be associated with the people like you.

931
00:56:47,544 --> 00:56:49,846
That step up. Okay.

932
00:56:49,846 --> 00:56:51,581

00:57:02,609 --> 00:57:04,611

938
00:57:04,611 --> 00:57:08,211

You have three minutes. Per speaker. So come on down.

956
01:00:07,410 --> 01:00:09,810
Michael Taylor district one.

957
01:00:14,150 --> 01:00:15,452
Good morning supervisors. I'm I'm asking the board

958
01:00:15,452 --> 01:00:18,138
to consider placing two separa items on

959
01:00:18,138 --> 01:00:20,507
a future agenda. Measure the comprehensive

960
01:00:20,507 --> 01:00:22,507
public account accounting.

961
01:00:26,429 --> 01:00:27,664
First I request the public presentation from auditor

962
01:00:27,664 --> 01:00:30,650
controller. Gi will and I G S director

963
01:00:30,650 --> 01:00:33,650
Craig Griesbach. Providing a comprehensive

964
01:00:33,670 --> 01:00:36,206
accounting of the total taxpayer cost of

965
01:00:36,206 --> 01:00:37,173
a failed measure V. From its conception

966
01:00:37,173 --> 01:00:41,373
through today. Measure V failed at the.

967
01:00:43,513 --> 01:00:48,313
Ballot box the county since incurred additional cost.

968
01:00:49,536 --> 01:00:50,537
Associated with F P P C complaint investigation,

969
01:00:50,537 --> 01:00:53,537
resolution penalties, and the county's.

970
01:00:54,724 --> 01:00:57,494
County's response and defense. I am asking for an accounting

971
01:00:57,494 --> 01:00:59,145
that captures the full cost. Not simply

972
01:00:59,145 --> 01:01:02,745
expenditures directly. Directly labeled measure V.

973
01:01:05,869 --> 01:01:07,137
That should include staff time consultants, polling research,

974
01:01:07,137 --> 01:01:09,537
public, or outreach, mailings,

975
01:01:09,589 --> 01:01:11,124
legal expenses. Expenses outside counsel,

976
01:01:11,124 --> 01:01:14,724
if any. FPC related costs. Penalties.

977
01:01:18,264 --> 01:01:19,299
And other reasonable identifiable county resources

978
01:01:19,299 --> 01:01:21,299
developed to.

979
01:01:24,354 --> 01:01:25,422
Develop and promotion administering and subsequently

980
01:01:25,422 --> 01:01:27,822
defending the actions associated

981
01:01:29,275 --> 01:01:33,475
with measure V. So I'm asking for

982
01:01:34,130 --> 01:01:35,865
for for that accounting, please. And for it to be

983
01:01:35,865 --> 01:01:37,334
public and for it to be an agenda item with

984
01:01:37,334 --> 01:01:39,919
presentation. Number two flock safety. I'm

985
01:01:39,919 --> 01:01:42,455
asking for a public workshop to.

986
01:01:42,455 --> 01:01:45,875
To to allow members of the

987
01:01:45,875 --> 01:01:48,875
community to talk about their.

988
01:01:51,564 --> 01:01:54,840
Support or their concerns with flock. So we have a

989
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:55,218
clear understanding. I wanna remind you guys that

990
01:01:55,218 --> 01:01:57,187
you approved. The contract on

991
01:01:57,187 --> 01:01:58,571
consent calendar. And it didn't have public

992
01:01:58,571 --> 01:02:03,426
transparency in its approval. Third positive thing. I want

993
01:02:03,426 --> 01:02:06,463
to acknowledge Patrick Perkins. Perkins and his staff and

994
01:02:06,463 --> 01:02:10,663
team for. Finishing a bridge under time.

995
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,684
And under budget, the bear river.

996
01:02:16,473 --> 01:02:21,940
Dog bar road bridge. Is an amazing project. He, he

997
01:02:21,940 --> 01:02:24,414
handled it amazingly. And I just wanted to publicly

998
01:02:24,414 --> 01:02:27,414
acknowledge him and his team.

999
01:02:27,450 --> 01:02:29,850
Thank you. Thank you.

1000
01:02:36,392 --> 01:02:40,580
Good morning board members. My name is Veronica and I'm

1001
01:02:40,580 --> 01:02:42,580
an organizer with.

1002
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:48,400
United domestic workers representing the I H S

1003
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:48,922
S caregivers who keep our communities most

1004
01:02:48,922 --> 01:02:49,956
vulnerable residents. Residents safe, healthy, and

1005
01:02:49,956 --> 01:02:51,900
living with dignity in their own

1006
01:02:51,900 --> 01:02:52,692
homes. Homes UDW recognizes the

1007
01:02:52,692 --> 01:02:55,478
investments that the tri counties have

1008
01:02:55,478 --> 01:02:56,813
made over the years. And your willingness to engage

1009
01:02:56,813 --> 01:02:58,813
with our members.

1010
01:03:01,601 --> 01:03:04,354
There has always been a spirit of partnership, and we're

1011
01:03:04,354 --> 01:03:06,189
hoping to continue that in a meaningful way.

1012
01:03:06,189 --> 01:03:07,390
We genuinely appreciate the consistent collaboration we've

1013
01:03:07,390 --> 01:03:09,790
received from the counties.

1014
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,476
And specifically connecting point

1015
01:03:17,534 --> 01:03:19,719
we can all agree that the IHSS program is crucial

1016
01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:21,754
to the seniors who want to stay in their homes

1017
01:03:21,754 --> 01:03:22,722
that they've lived in for decades.

1018
01:03:22,722 --> 01:03:24,841
The people with disabilities who deserve dignifiecare.

1019
01:03:24,841 --> 01:03:28,862
And the caregivers who are the backbone of that possibility.

1020
01:03:28,862 --> 01:03:30,697
This is your chance to help us strengthen the I

1021
01:03:30,697 --> 01:03:33,320
H S S program. For everyone who depends on it.

1022
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,432
We've been in negotiatio.

1023
01:03:40,306 --> 01:03:42,876
Over multiple sessions. And today I'm joined by I H

1024
01:03:42,876 --> 01:03:45,940
S S providers, some of whom brought their recipients.

1025
01:03:45,940 --> 01:03:47,497
Recipients because this work is so deeply personal to them.

1026
01:03:47,497 --> 01:03:49,883
You'll hear from some of them sharing their experiences and

1027
01:03:49,883 --> 01:03:51,883
stories. Thank you.

1028
01:03:52,850 --> 01:03:54,850
Thank you.

1029
01:04:01,661 --> 01:04:04,610
Good morning. Good morning.

1030
01:04:06,216 --> 01:04:08,868
I'm Adrian Hardy, can you pull the microphone a little

1031
01:04:08,868 --> 01:04:09,602
bit closer? Thank you. I live in

1032
01:04:09,602 --> 01:04:11,602
Plumas county.

1033
01:04:14,190 --> 01:04:18,561
Do you hear an echo? . I apologize for that. I live

1034
01:04:18,561 --> 01:04:19,579
in Plumas county and I have been an IHSS worker.

1035
01:04:19,579 --> 01:04:21,481
For over 14 years. And currently have an

1036
01:04:21,481 --> 01:04:25,681
elderly client. Who deals with mental issues?

1037
01:04:27,310 --> 01:04:31,130
Issues. And so the job is not an easy job.

1038
01:04:31,130 --> 01:04:33,766
Preparing meals is easy. Grocery shopping.

1039
01:04:33,766 --> 01:04:36,166
Easy cleanin doing laundry.

1040
01:04:39,105 --> 01:04:40,239
And making sure the clients get to their

1041
01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:42,108
medical appointments can sometimes be

1042
01:04:42,108 --> 01:04:44,393
very challenging. If they have oxygen, a Walker.

1043
01:04:44,393 --> 01:04:48,130
All that stuff has to be put into place.

1044
01:04:48,130 --> 01:04:52,818
And then in flouts county being such a rural county.

1045
01:04:52,818 --> 01:04:55,905
It's great distances to get to medical appointments.

1046
01:04:55,905 --> 01:04:59,505
Reno is about 60 miles. From cor

1047
01:05:02,610 --> 01:05:04,881
Corola. And it would be 90 miles from Quincy.

1048
01:05:04,881 --> 01:05:10,881
Truckee is about 45 miles. To get to a medical appointment.

1049
01:05:12,171 --> 01:05:14,290
And then Quincy being 33 miles from where I live

1050
01:05:14,290 --> 01:05:18,490
in Portola. Round trip is 66 miles again.

1051
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:27,448
The cost of gas is going up and up.

1052
01:05:28,304 --> 01:05:29,488
And we hate to say it, but a lot of

1053
01:05:29,488 --> 01:05:31,357
work moving hardships, making ends meet.

1054
01:05:31,357 --> 01:05:35,344
And they go and look for better. Paying jobs, but

1055
01:05:35,344 --> 01:05:37,113
one experience that's always kept me going.

1056
01:05:37,113 --> 01:05:39,513
Was helping a diabetic

1057
01:05:43,569 --> 01:05:47,757
fellow who I would give insulin shotto. I learned

1058
01:05:47,757 --> 01:05:51,770
how to give shots. Whew. That's not easy either.

1059
01:05:51,770 --> 01:05:54,146
But we keep struggling and trying to keep these people

1060
01:05:54,146 --> 01:05:56,546
at home. Comfortable safe.

1061
01:05:56,866 --> 01:05:59,518
And when you think about it, we're all gonna age.

1062
01:05:59,518 --> 01:06:04,318
Eventually, usually and it gets harder and harder

1063
01:06:04,407 --> 01:06:06,420
to get out of the rocking chair.

1064
01:06:06,420 --> 01:06:08,310
And it's really nice to have a caring.

1065
01:06:08,310 --> 01:06:10,310
Nice compassionate person.

1066
01:06:13,866 --> 01:06:18,660
Concerned trying to make tir lives better.

1067
01:06:18,354 --> 01:06:20,740
Although the alternative is to go to a facility.

1068
01:06:20,740 --> 01:06:24,410
Which a lot of elderly end up.

1069
01:06:24,410 --> 01:06:29,810
Doing anyway, because of their. Physical condition, but still

1070
01:06:30,449 --> 01:06:34,453
we save the state of California, a lot of money.

1071
01:06:34,453 --> 01:06:39,253
Keing them at home. And they're happier and

1072
01:06:41,494 --> 01:06:44,196
really it soothes the heart to know you're doing something

1073
01:06:44,196 --> 01:06:47,283
right for another hun being. So I ask you to help us.

1074
01:06:47,283 --> 01:06:50,283
Have a better working wage.

1075
01:06:54,340 --> 01:06:55,291
So that we don't have a hardship going to the

1076
01:06:55,291 --> 01:06:56,158
gas pump or paying the electric bill.

1077
01:06:56,158 --> 01:06:57,126
Thank you for your consideration.

1078
01:06:57,126 --> 01:07:00,126
Thank you for your comments.

1079
01:07:04,316 --> 01:07:05,501
Comments. Yeah, please. No applause or sharing in

1080
01:07:05,501 --> 01:07:08,501
the board. Chambers. Thank you.

1081
01:07:11,724 --> 01:07:13,759
Good morning. My name is Genevieve Mack, and I've been

1082
01:07:13,759 --> 01:07:18,147
an I H S S provider for over a year.

1083
01:07:18,147 --> 01:07:20,666
I currently care for my son who has autism, sensory

1084
01:07:20,666 --> 01:07:22,835
processing disorder in ADHD. My son requires protective

1085
01:07:22,835 --> 01:07:25,287
supervision as he lacks the safety.

1086
01:07:25,287 --> 01:07:28,157
And awareness needed to keep himself safe.

1087
01:07:28,157 --> 01:07:31,477
As a parent of a special needs child.

1088
01:07:31,477 --> 01:07:35,281
Providing constant intense supervision is not a choice.

1089
01:07:35,281 --> 01:07:40,681
It is a necessity for his wellbeing and survival.

1090
01:07:44,407 --> 01:07:45,524
People often hear, hear e term protective supervision

1091
01:07:45,524 --> 01:07:48,894
and may not realize what it actually

1092
01:07:48,894 --> 01:07:49,795
looks like. It means somebody always must

1093
01:07:49,795 --> 01:07:53,490
be nearby and watching. I've had to stop him from

1094
01:07:53,490 --> 01:07:56,168
climbing over stone barriers that would otherwise lead to a

1095
01:07:56,168 --> 01:07:57,370
cliff drop off. He flies paper airplanes,

1096
01:07:57,370 --> 01:08:02,770
often near a hot stove burners when I'm cooking.

1097
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,344
And he has actually covered the entire bathroom floor with

1098
01:08:05,344 --> 01:08:08,944
foaming soap, pretending it was snow.

1099
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:12,835
He has also wrapped a bath towel around a space

1100
01:08:12,835 --> 01:08:14,103
heater climbs up on windowsills and has walked

1101
01:08:14,103 --> 01:08:16,622
backwards into traffic during school

1102
01:08:16,622 --> 01:08:21,422
pickup line. All within arms reach of me.

1103
01:08:22,444 --> 01:08:23,445
These are not acts of defiance, rather. They're

1104
01:08:23,445 --> 01:08:26,980
a result of a neurodivergent child who

1105
01:08:26,980 --> 01:08:29,201
does not understand danger and still needs.

1106
01:08:29,201 --> 01:08:30,653
A sincere one-to-one support. Despite these challenges.

1107
01:08:30,653 --> 01:08:31,887
Challenges. Toby is an amazing child who deserves

1108
01:08:31,887 --> 01:08:36,870
every opportunity. To grow and thrive, thrive.

1109
01:08:36,242 --> 01:08:38,844
Often describe parenting neuro to our children.

1110
01:08:38,844 --> 01:08:43,566
As parenting on steroids. Steroids, the abundant physical.

1111
01:08:43,566 --> 01:08:45,966
Energy and emotional resilience.

1112
01:08:51,473 --> 01:08:52,842
Is intense because Toby requires so much intense

1113
01:08:52,842 --> 01:08:56,395
to provision and there are so many physical

1114
01:08:56,395 --> 01:08:58,395
therapy appointments.

1115
01:09:01,984 --> 01:09:03,118
Emotional appointments and occupational appointments and

1116
01:09:03,118 --> 01:09:06,739
accommodations. I am unable to work a traditional

1117
01:09:06,739 --> 01:09:09,108
full-time job. My ability to earn, earn an

1118
01:09:09,108 --> 01:09:13,929
income is directly related to the IHSS support I receive.

1119
01:09:13,929 --> 01:09:17,516
I want the board to understand that families like mine

1120
01:09:17,516 --> 01:09:18,484
are not choosing between work and caregiving.

1121
01:09:18,484 --> 01:09:19,418
Rather the level of supervision and care our

1122
01:09:19,418 --> 01:09:21,270
children requires, makes that choice for us.

1123
01:09:21,270 --> 01:09:25,491
I H S has allows parents like me.

1124
01:09:25,491 --> 01:09:28,160
To meet our basic needs while keeping our children safe

1125
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:29,795
at home in the community. I ask that you support

1126
01:09:29,795 --> 01:09:32,648
meaningful wage increases. Increases and strong

1127
01:09:32,648 --> 01:09:36,135
protection for I H S S providers.

1128
01:09:36,135 --> 01:09:37,369
Providers when you support the caregivers, you support

1129
01:09:37,369 --> 01:09:38,571
the children like Toby.

1130
01:09:38,571 --> 01:09:42,157
Thank you. For your comments? I didn't

1131
01:09:42,157 --> 01:09:44,557
hear it. Yes. Thanks.

1132
01:09:52,902 --> 01:09:54,902
Good morning supervisors.

1133
01:10:00,476 --> 01:10:02,778
Supervisors. My name is crystal Marshall and I'm in P

1134
01:10:02,778 --> 01:10:04,680
plums county. And I've been a caregiver for the past

1135
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:05,798
seven or so years. I care in my home.

1136
01:10:05,798 --> 01:10:09,201
They all live with me. Three adult males.

1137
01:10:09,201 --> 01:10:13,155
Males one had a spinal cord injury.

1138
01:10:13,155 --> 01:10:15,574
But he walks, but has many difficulties as well.

1139
01:10:15,574 --> 01:10:19,774
Another one has heart problems and have

1140
01:10:20,312 --> 01:10:25,112
to monitor. His health totally all the time.

1141
01:10:26,919 --> 01:10:29,555
And the third one has just recently developed.

1142
01:10:29,555 --> 01:10:34,376
Dementia, which requires a whole lot of my attention.

1143
01:10:34,376 --> 01:10:39,632
And taking care of the woman with dementia also

1144
01:10:39,632 --> 01:10:41,517
has hypoglycemia. And the one event that

1145
01:10:41,517 --> 01:10:47,517
happened with him that really. Sticks in my mind is.

1146
01:10:49,441 --> 01:10:51,543
When he had a hypoglycemic attack and his sugar level

1147
01:10:51,543 --> 01:10:53,912
went down to 33. I had to stay on the line with

1148
01:10:53,912 --> 01:10:55,912
the ambulance.

1149
01:10:59,567 --> 01:11:02,687
And provide life sustaining efforts to keep him alive and

1150
01:11:02,687 --> 01:11:04,422
awake until they got there. Which was in the snowy weather.

1151
01:11:04,422 --> 01:11:07,842
And I live where it's very icy. And so therefore I have to

1152
01:11:07,842 --> 01:11:11,629
monitor him all the time for that.

1153
01:11:11,629 --> 01:11:14,629
As well as far as.

1154
01:11:15,750 --> 01:11:19,454
Medic or medication and some of the things that.

1155
01:11:19,454 --> 01:11:23,441
They require for specialists. Like vascular surgeons and such.

1156
01:11:23,441 --> 01:11:27,462
We have to go out of town to do that.

1157
01:11:27,462 --> 01:11:28,430
There isn't anything in BMIs county that offers

1158
01:11:28,430 --> 01:11:30,430
those resources.

1159
01:11:33,184 --> 01:11:36,638
Resources, not even eye care for free and no Medi-Cal

1160
01:11:36,638 --> 01:11:37,839
doctors that do. Eyecare. So we have to go out

1161
01:11:37,839 --> 01:11:40,239
of town a lot.

1162
01:11:42,594 --> 01:11:44,994
It's no less difficult.

1163
01:11:47,215 --> 01:11:49,184
For us to work in Plymouth county than it is

1164
01:11:49,184 --> 01:11:52,804
for anybody in any other county. And weon't have

1165
01:11:52,804 --> 01:11:54,804
the support.

1166
01:11:57,726 --> 01:12:03,126
For medical, like, I'm not very good at this. .

1167
01:12:05,283 --> 01:12:10,380
We wanna make sure that we get protected care.

1168
01:12:10,380 --> 01:12:13,758
Like rubber gloves and such like that. We only have

1169
01:12:13,758 --> 01:12:14,893
one little drug story in Quincy. And they're open Monday

1170
01:12:14,893 --> 01:12:17,746
through Friday. And it's hard to get a lot of

1171
01:12:17,746 --> 01:12:19,746
things there.

1172
01:12:22,330 --> 01:12:24,235
We deserve to have the same access and tools as

1173
01:12:24,235 --> 01:12:26,521
others. We appreciate your

1174
01:12:26,521 --> 01:12:28,521
cooperation today. And

1175
01:12:35,380 --> 01:12:37,399
yeah, I appreciate it, pecially, and I do enjoy my

1176
01:12:37,399 --> 01:12:40,335
job really, but it's difficult for all of us, but

1177
01:12:40,335 --> 01:12:43,655
it's what we chose. Thank you. Thank you.

1178
01:12:43,655 --> 01:12:46,550
Good morning. Where supervisors

1179
01:12:51,629 --> 01:12:54,933
supervisors. I've been with the I H S S program.

1180
01:12:54,933 --> 01:12:58,987
In two different counties in the sametate.

1181
01:12:58,987 --> 01:13:00,987
My grandparents.

1182
01:13:04,943 --> 01:13:06,227
Began building this health building this community

1183
01:13:06,227 --> 01:13:09,898
starting in 1967. I've been a part of it

1184
01:13:09,898 --> 01:13:13,498
since 1978. I've been doing in-home care

1185
01:13:14,352 --> 01:13:16,352
for 35 years.

1186
01:13:21,993 --> 01:13:23,928
I do have a son who has autism and my

1187
01:13:23,928 --> 01:13:26,481
father who has had strokes. Strokes. My mother has since

1188
01:13:26,481 --> 01:13:28,583
passed away from metastatic breast

1189
01:13:28,583 --> 01:13:33,383
cancer. I was taking care of her until

1190
01:13:33,872 --> 01:13:36,272
her very last moments.

1191
01:13:37,559 --> 01:13:39,394
What brought me here was my father's stroke.

1192
01:13:39,394 --> 01:13:44,794
I walked in on him. Holding the bathroom faucet.

1193
01:13:49,237 --> 01:13:50,238
Faucet and yelling and screaming that he couldn't

1194
01:13:50,238 --> 01:13:51,105
shut it off because his hand was in a

1195
01:13:51,105 --> 01:13:53,910
stucup. Motion.

1196
01:13:53,910 --> 01:13:58,713
The water was streaming down. The light fiures and the.

1197
01:13:58,713 --> 01:14:00,882
Ceiling going up to the second floor.

1198
01:14:00,882 --> 01:14:02,882
So

1199
01:14:05,270 --> 01:14:07,589
my mom had called me instead of calling.

1200
01:14:07,589 --> 01:14:11,943
The emergency services. Services. So I had to drive

1201
01:14:11,943 --> 01:14:13,678
all the way from Sacramento.

1202
01:14:13,678 --> 01:14:16,898
To come see my father in that state.

1203
01:14:16,898 --> 01:14:21,980
So I shut the water off. And

1204
01:14:21,452 --> 01:14:23,488
how did him to lay down and called.

1205
01:14:23,488 --> 01:14:27,880
9 1, 1. And he refused to go to

1206
01:14:27,108 --> 01:14:31,346
the hospital. He told me that COVID was there.

1207
01:14:31,346 --> 01:14:34,933
So I was at the same time taking

1208
01:14:34,933 --> 01:14:39,454
care of my husband. Who was a diabetic

1209
01:14:39,454 --> 01:14:42,974
and who was also a kidney recipient.

1210
01:14:42,974 --> 01:14:46,661
I had given him my kidney in 2007.

1211
01:14:46,661 --> 01:14:48,162
So he left his medication at home. So we had

1212
01:14:48,162 --> 01:14:51,232
to leave my father. So that I could take care of

1213
01:14:51,232 --> 01:14:53,232
my husband a

1214
01:14:55,620 --> 01:15:00,420
So I had my sister to bring my.

1215
01:15:01,242 --> 01:15:02,460
Dad to the doctors. The very next day I had

1216
01:15:02,460 --> 01:15:04,495
called her to relieve me so that.

1217
01:15:04,495 --> 01:15:08,616
She could help him. So the doc, he went to the

1218
01:15:08,616 --> 01:15:12,216
doctor's office. He accepted that help.

1219
01:15:15,206 --> 01:15:17,792
The doctor then said he had had a major stroke

1220
01:15:17,792 --> 01:15:20,295
and then he went to the hospital and stayed there.

1221
01:15:20,295 --> 01:15:22,547
So now my choice was made for me. I had

1222
01:15:22,547 --> 01:15:25,683
to leave my life. At, in Sacramento and

1223
01:15:25,683 --> 01:15:28,803
dedicated to my parents. Because my parents were both

1224
01:15:28,803 --> 01:15:31,756
in real dire straits. Straits, my mom having

1225
01:15:31,756 --> 01:15:33,756
cancer ulcers.

1226
01:15:36,461 --> 01:15:38,790
Ulcers thawere open and I had to help her

1227
01:15:38,790 --> 01:15:39,914
take care of them. And by this time I think.

1228
01:15:39,914 --> 01:15:43,514
She was not mentally all there.

1229
01:15:46,700 --> 01:15:49,991
Because she kept thinking I cod help her. So I.

1230
01:15:49,991 --> 01:15:54,791
I've thank you for your comments, your time.

1231
01:15:57,832 --> 01:15:58,867
Is thank you. It's very important. If you

1232
01:15:58,867 --> 01:16:00,902
have something written, you're welcome to

1233
01:16:00,902 --> 01:16:02,353
leave it with the clerk for us to have a copy of it. Okay.

1234
01:16:02,353 --> 01:16:04,753
Thank you. Take it.

1235
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,240
Good morning.

1236
01:16:15,533 --> 01:16:17,986
good morning chair and supervisors. My name is Kendra

1237
01:16:17,986 --> 01:16:21,789
Del Rio. And I am a proud UD w.

1238
01:16:21,789 --> 01:16:23,808
Member and I H S provider for my 16 year

1239
01:16:23,808 --> 01:16:27,195
old son. He lives with autism.

1240
01:16:27,195 --> 01:16:30,195
Severe anxiety, depression and insomnia.

1241
01:16:32,517 --> 01:16:35,420
Like many parents of children with complex needs. I didn't

1242
01:16:35,420 --> 01:16:37,805
expect. To become a full-time caregiver.

1243
01:16:37,805 --> 01:16:39,607
But his needs reached a point where.

1244
01:16:39,607 --> 01:16:42,827
His safety depended on. Someone being there around

1245
01:16:42,827 --> 01:16:44,827
the clock.

1246
01:16:50,585 --> 01:16:51,886
Every day, I help manage challenges that most

1247
01:16:51,886 --> 01:16:54,380
peop never see. My son experiences

1248
01:16:54,380 --> 01:16:57,250
periods of dysregulation. Has elopement risks and can

1249
01:16:57,250 --> 01:17:01,825
engage in self-harming behavior. Because his sleep difficulties

1250
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,490
are so severe. I often provide supervision throughout

1251
01:17:05,490 --> 01:17:07,490
the night.

1252
01:17:09,704 --> 01:17:10,672
To make sure he stays safe around household

1253
01:17:10,672 --> 01:17:14,272
chemicals, appliances and other potential dangers.

1254
01:17:14,726 --> 01:17:18,926
Dangers with consistent supervision. I truly believe.

1255
01:17:24,141 --> 01:17:25,275
I'm sorry with constant support, I truly believe he can

1256
01:17:25,275 --> 01:17:26,276
reach his full potential and become a successful

1257
01:17:26,276 --> 01:17:28,462
contributing member of our community.

1258
01:17:28,462 --> 01:17:30,864
But families like mine face significant ch financial strain.

1259
01:17:30,864 --> 01:17:32,950
I left a career in real estate to become my

1260
01:17:32,950 --> 01:17:34,551
son's full-time caregiver. Since then rising costs for

1261
01:17:34,551 --> 01:17:36,720
gas groceries. School transportation and

1262
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,320
therapy appointments. Have made it increasingly

1263
01:17:40,607 --> 01:17:45,529
difficult to stay afloat. Without I H S S many families

1264
01:17:45,529 --> 01:17:47,748
like mine would be forced to.

1265
01:17:47,748 --> 01:17:52,548
Into impossible choices between income safety and care.

1266
01:17:58,292 --> 01:18:00,727
I ask you to stand with caregivers and support wages,

1267
01:18:00,727 --> 01:18:04,281
benefits, and training that reflect the critical work we do

1268
01:18:04,281 --> 01:18:05,182
every day. When you invest in caregivers,

1269
01:18:05,182 --> 01:18:07,182
you invest in.

1270
01:18:10,470 --> 01:18:11,572
The safety, wellbeing and future of some of

1271
01:18:11,572 --> 01:18:14,572
our community's most vulnerable residents.

1272
01:18:15,250 --> 01:18:19,225
Thank you for your time. Thank you.

1273
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:25,100
What's going

1274
01:18:28,722 --> 01:18:33,522
there we go. All right. Good morning board.

1275
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:39,766
My name's John Lindsay. I am a union rep with United

1276
01:18:39,766 --> 01:18:40,767
domestic workers. We represent IHS as caregivers

1277
01:18:40,767 --> 01:18:43,754
as who you've been hearing this morning.

1278
01:18:43,754 --> 01:18:46,123
I grew up here in grass valley, specifically.

1279
01:18:46,123 --> 01:18:48,410
Nevada county, Nevada union high school.

1280
01:18:48,410 --> 01:18:51,378
My brother joins us here today. Right.

1281
01:18:51,378 --> 01:18:55,365
I have to express upon you, how grateful

1282
01:18:55,365 --> 01:18:59,219
we are for Nevada county. My brother's been able to

1283
01:18:59,219 --> 01:19:03,440
partake in so many. Programs a huge variety.

1284
01:19:03,440 --> 01:19:06,777
For those that have special needs.

1285
01:19:06,777 --> 01:19:07,694
Val county has always supported the special

1286
01:19:07,694 --> 01:19:09,694
needs community.

1287
01:19:15,185 --> 01:19:17,704
And the community here because of that is special. They've

1288
01:19:17,704 --> 01:19:18,839
allowed my brother and many others like him. Some of

1289
01:19:18,839 --> 01:19:20,173
'em are here today to participate and shine in ways

1290
01:19:20,173 --> 01:19:20,807
that. Wouldn't be possible

1291
01:19:20,807 --> 01:19:22,275
anywhere else. The HSS program is an

1292
01:19:22,275 --> 01:19:24,494
invaluable part of that community.

1293
01:19:24,494 --> 01:19:28,281
Many people rely on it as you've been hearing.

1294
01:19:28,281 --> 01:19:30,484
To receive the care they need solve it incredibly life.

1295
01:19:30,484 --> 01:19:34,684
Extending and providers need it in order

1296
01:19:35,238 --> 01:19:37,891
to make, make their ends meet.

1297
01:19:37,891 --> 01:19:40,527
Prices are going up and we ask that.

1298
01:19:40,527 --> 01:19:42,529
You consider bringing the wages up.

1299
01:19:42,529 --> 01:19:44,929
To compense for that.

1300
01:19:48,435 --> 01:19:49,603
Nevada. County's always been welcoming to those that

1301
01:19:49,603 --> 01:19:51,538
need the extra help. And I, we

1302
01:19:51,538 --> 01:19:53,538
implore you.

1303
01:19:59,112 --> 01:20:02,215
Today to consider supporting this program with a

1304
01:20:02,215 --> 01:20:03,166
strong contract and to keep Nevada county the

1305
01:20:03,166 --> 01:20:04,368
amazing place that has been for my family for the

1306
01:20:04,368 --> 01:20:07,968
last 40 years. Thank you. Thank you.

1307
01:20:10,924 --> 01:20:14,111
Good morning. My name is Carol Morrison and I'm here because

1308
01:20:14,111 --> 01:20:20,334
I oppose the hidden Grove. Project I live on Hobart lane.

1309
01:20:20,334 --> 01:20:22,986
My home, my property touches the south part of Jerry

1310
01:20:22,986 --> 01:20:25,856
Serena, where he wants to put hidden Grove.

1311
01:20:25,856 --> 01:20:29,576
There's two primary reasons why I'm concerned about it. One

1312
01:20:29,576 --> 01:20:31,445
is physical safety. For, for me and for the other

1313
01:20:31,445 --> 01:20:33,764
people who live on Hobart lane.

1314
01:20:33,764 --> 01:20:37,834
But also the emotional attachment that we all have.

1315
01:20:37,834 --> 01:20:40,620
To ourome. It's peaceful. It's serene.

1316
01:20:40,620 --> 01:20:45,420
Serene. We all have two acres of property.

1317
01:20:47,811 --> 01:20:50,297
I moved the because it is so beautiful. And the

1318
01:20:50,297 --> 01:20:52,299
stars at night, the trees, the sun shining through.

1319
01:20:52,299 --> 01:20:55,452
August is a piece of serenity. But also a physical

1320
01:20:55,452 --> 01:20:57,954
safety problems that we're worried about.

1321
01:20:57,954 --> 01:21:01,842
First of all the septic tanks. Tanks. There'll be three

1322
01:21:01,842 --> 01:21:05,629
separate tanks there. And he'll have 24 units

1323
01:21:05,629 --> 01:21:07,629
of people.

1324
01:21:10,830 --> 01:21:13,530
Who are renting going in and out in the byproducts

1325
01:21:13,530 --> 01:21:15,530
of the.

1326
01:21:17,674 --> 01:21:18,859
Industrial units. We don't even know what industrial

1327
01:21:18,859 --> 01:21:22,696
units will be there. So you don't know

1328
01:21:22,696 --> 01:21:23,880
what industrial products will. Go into the septic tanks. Some

1329
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:25,880
people will know.

1330
01:21:27,651 --> 01:21:31,204
What to put in. Some people won't know, and some

1331
01:21:31,204 --> 01:21:32,139
people just won't care. So it puts us at a

1332
01:21:32,139 --> 01:21:34,925
danger because everyone's south. Of his project is on Wells.

1333
01:21:34,925 --> 01:21:38,478
And then there's the, the ditch righdown below

1334
01:21:38,478 --> 01:21:40,313
the property. Also concern about the traffic.

1335
01:21:40,313 --> 01:21:43,233
Hobart lane is a one way. In one way out this dead

1336
01:21:43,233 --> 01:21:47,433
ded, maybe. 20 or 30 feet from my property.

1337
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,633
Currently, we have maybe 20 cars coming and going today

1338
01:21:59,633 --> 01:22:01,835
from the, from all the, the three homes on, on

1339
01:22:01,835 --> 01:22:03,887
Hobart lane. Plus. Jerry's at the

1340
01:22:03,887 --> 01:22:05,722
meeting. That was held. They asked

1341
01:22:05,722 --> 01:22:06,556
Jerry, how many people do you expect?

1342
01:22:06,556 --> 01:22:12,245
To be coming in and out and his. Person answered 400.

1343
01:22:12,245 --> 01:22:13,830
So that's 20 times as many cars as we have

1344
01:22:13,830 --> 01:22:17,430
now. And it's a small street.

1345
01:22:19,452 --> 01:22:22,222
And the traffic on 1 74 has increased quite a bit.

1346
01:22:22,222 --> 01:22:24,222
So.

1347
01:22:27,511 --> 01:22:30,730
With 49 new parking places that all those extra cars,

1348
01:22:30,730 --> 01:22:34,840
400 extra, or probably close to 400 extra cars. It's

1349
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:34,918
gonna. Cause a clog up on, on.

1350
01:22:34,918 --> 01:22:37,187
On Hobart and also on 1 74. And if there's a fire,

1351
01:22:37,187 --> 01:22:40,273
there's absolutely. No way that we'd be able to

1352
01:22:40,273 --> 01:22:44,270
get out safely. There'll be a backlog all

1353
01:22:44,270 --> 01:22:46,270
the way.

1354
01:22:49,649 --> 01:22:50,750
People on 1 74 are gonna be panicking, wanting to get

1355
01:22:50,750 --> 01:22:54,171
out. So they're not gonna let back and forth.

1356
01:22:54,171 --> 01:22:55,705
Also I'm concerned about the noise level.

1357
01:22:55,705 --> 01:22:58,241
And Jerry said he was gonna put two or three.

1358
01:22:58,241 --> 01:23:00,241
Sound bars up.

1359
01:23:05,849 --> 01:23:07,384
But those, we don't know exactly what they're gonna be

1360
01:23:07,384 --> 01:23:08,835
doing. So we don't know where to put the sound

1361
01:23:08,835 --> 01:23:10,704
bars and I've run out of time. Thank you for

1362
01:23:10,704 --> 01:23:12,704
your comments.

1363
01:23:15,759 --> 01:23:18,562
Good morning. My name is John Vaughn. I live in district

1364
01:23:18,562 --> 01:23:20,547
three. First I'd like to say the, I H

1365
01:23:20,547 --> 01:23:22,547
H S people.

1366
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,536
Do incredible work and deserve to get paid more.

1367
01:23:26,536 --> 01:23:29,890
Back to my original topic. Myself and more than

1368
01:23:29,890 --> 01:23:32,926
3,500 others. Have signed on to oppose the

1369
01:23:32,926 --> 01:23:35,846
hidden grow project. On August 3rd, the

1370
01:23:35,846 --> 01:23:40,460
applicant's attorneys. Center planning staff a letter.

1371
01:23:41,234 --> 01:23:45,434
The new argument is simple, but corrosive.

1372
01:23:45,937 --> 01:23:47,439
Because, and only because the applicant has now

1373
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,839
designated two additional units.

1374
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:55,514
As low income, the attorneys claim the state density bonus

1375
01:23:55,514 --> 01:23:56,314
law. Entitles the project to

1376
01:23:56,314 --> 01:23:58,150
two concessions. Concessions concessions. They

1377
01:23:58,150 --> 01:24:04,750
say the applicant is owed. By you and by the neighbors.

1378
01:24:04,756 --> 01:24:06,240
Neighbors. They say that because the applicant is

1379
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,424
doing us the favor.

1380
01:24:09,111 --> 01:24:12,681
Of building this light industrial development.

1381
01:24:12,681 --> 01:24:13,415
The applicant is owed amendments.

1382
01:24:13,415 --> 01:24:16,768
Amendments to the general plan and spot zoning.

1383
01:24:16,768 --> 01:24:20,689
To re-designate this rural center as a business park.

1384
01:24:20,689 --> 01:24:23,689
The applicant is telling you.

1385
01:24:24,209 --> 01:24:28,747
You don't get to weigh in. On this zoning merits.

1386
01:24:28,747 --> 01:24:31,900
Merits in effect telling you that it's already.

1387
01:24:31,900 --> 01:24:34,820
Decided and telling you the objections of neighbors.

1388
01:24:34,820 --> 01:24:38,857
Neighbors do not matter. The good news is the statute.

1389
01:24:38,857 --> 01:24:41,243
The applant is citing. Doesn't hand out mixed

1390
01:24:41,243 --> 01:24:43,243
use concessions.

1391
01:24:45,630 --> 01:24:47,532
Concessions for free. It requires proof.

1392
01:24:47,532 --> 01:24:50,285
That the industrial buildings actually lower.

1393
01:24:50,285 --> 01:24:53,788
The cost of housing. And that the project is

1394
01:24:53,788 --> 01:24:55,874
compatible with the neighborhood.

1395
01:24:55,874 --> 01:24:59,561
Neither of which is true. The applicant's own

1396
01:24:59,561 --> 01:25:02,764
economic consultant. Never says the industrial

1397
01:25:02,764 --> 01:25:08,860
space subsidizes the housing. It just says the project fills

1398
01:25:08,860 --> 01:25:09,871
demand for light industrial units.

1399
01:25:09,871 --> 01:25:13,959
A need that could be filled. Today by existing locations in

1400
01:25:13,959 --> 01:25:16,144
Cedar Ridge. Whispering Pines,

1401
01:25:16,144 --> 01:25:20,344
Idaho, Maryland. And elsewhere in the county.

1402
01:25:22,330 --> 01:25:26,833
That stand vacant, begging for development and vitalization.

1403
01:25:27,756 --> 01:25:30,750
So apparently the strategy is to dress up a paperwork

1404
01:25:30,750 --> 01:25:32,611
tweak. As a legal mandate and hope

1405
01:25:32,611 --> 01:25:35,263
this board feels boxed in.

1406
01:25:35,263 --> 01:25:38,300
Before you ever get to vote. We're asking you to reject

1407
01:25:38,300 --> 01:25:43,100
the, that framing. Outright hold the project to

1408
01:25:43,855 --> 01:25:49,255
the actual county rules. That have been side stepped.

1409
01:25:51,763 --> 01:25:55,283
For six years and the sequel requirement for a full

1410
01:25:55,283 --> 01:25:57,419
E I R before any rezone. General plan amendment or

1411
01:25:57,419 --> 01:26:00,500
concession is on the table. We urge you to help us protect

1412
01:26:00,500 --> 01:26:04,205
our homes. Homes. Thank you. Thank you.

1413
01:26:05,627 --> 01:26:07,627
Morning board.

1414
01:26:13,451 --> 01:26:16,204
First I'd like to highlight the service workers that we've

1415
01:26:16,204 --> 01:26:17,305
seen here today, the librarians, the food bank,

1416
01:26:17,305 --> 01:26:19,558
you know, the people that.

1417
01:26:19,558 --> 01:26:24,358
Keep our seniors and the, the differently abled.

1418
01:26:24,779 --> 01:26:26,810
Abled functioning in our community. I'm here today

1419
01:26:26,810 --> 01:26:28,116
to ask you to follow the city of

1420
01:26:28,116 --> 01:26:29,534
grass valley and remove flock from our county as

1421
01:26:29,534 --> 01:26:34,720
a whole. You have heard from me before,

1422
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:35,624
because I am lucky enough to be able to be here.

1423
01:26:35,624 --> 01:26:37,392
However, I want to talk less about the cameras

1424
01:26:37,392 --> 01:26:39,427
themselves this time and more about how you were asking

1425
01:26:39,427 --> 01:26:41,279
the pele. Of Nevada county to participate.

1426
01:26:41,279 --> 01:26:42,314
In this discussion, a significant amount of people

1427
01:26:42,314 --> 01:26:47,114
cannot attend and many have had their email.

1428
01:26:49,504 --> 01:26:52,224
Or smission comments, sit in the inbox, waste basket here,

1429
01:26:52,224 --> 01:26:53,859
unread by their board supervisor representatives,

1430
01:26:53,859 --> 01:26:55,810
but they're acknowledged as they.

1431
01:26:55,810 --> 01:26:57,312
Attract every day by flock as they go to work,

1432
01:26:57,312 --> 01:27:02,712
take their kids to school or live their lives.

1433
01:27:03,168 --> 01:27:04,719
Is this something that the city of grass valley was

1434
01:27:04,719 --> 01:27:05,887
able to recognize was a problem. And they rectified it.

1435
01:27:05,887 --> 01:27:08,423
But after many meetings with your citizens telling you it's

1436
01:27:08,423 --> 01:27:12,110
a problem, you haven't. Haven't even proposed a

1437
01:27:12,110 --> 01:27:13,245
solution or a way to get one. We have jobs, businesses,

1438
01:27:13,245 --> 01:27:15,597
children to get to school, elderly parents to care for.

1439
01:27:15,597 --> 01:27:18,166
We have responsibilities. That don't disappear because a

1440
01:27:18,166 --> 01:27:19,134
board is scheduled a meeting for 9:00 AM on a

1441
01:27:19,134 --> 01:27:21,134
Tuesday, Tuesday.

1442
01:27:24,523 --> 01:27:25,907
But what have you done with what you have already

1443
01:27:25,907 --> 01:27:27,742
heard? Because many of us have taken the time to

1444
01:27:27,742 --> 01:27:28,743
research flock for you. We have serious concerns

1445
01:27:28,743 --> 01:27:30,743
raised about flock's.

1446
01:27:32,430 --> 01:27:33,999
Flock's credibility, their safety, and then took time

1447
01:27:33,999 --> 01:27:35,650
to inform you about it. Just one story

1448
01:27:35,650 --> 01:27:37,285
should be enough to make you more than concerned.

1449
01:27:37,285 --> 01:27:39,187
A widely publicized incident. In Texas FLOX

1450
01:27:39,187 --> 01:27:42,507
nationwide network. Was searched for a woman who

1451
01:27:42,507 --> 01:27:44,242
had self administrative abortion

1452
01:27:44,242 --> 01:27:45,827
while in a state where it was legal, like it

1453
01:27:45,827 --> 01:27:47,662
is in California. However flock CEO, Garrett

1454
01:27:47,662 --> 01:27:50,215
Langley later characterized the reporting as

1455
01:27:50,215 --> 01:27:53,815
entirely false. Despite his dismissal court

1456
01:27:54,252 --> 01:27:56,171
records and police documents indicate that

1457
01:27:56,171 --> 01:27:57,405
the authorities discussed, whether the woman could

1458
01:27:57,405 --> 01:27:59,708
be charged. Charged. They categorize the

1459
01:27:59,708 --> 01:28:00,625
matter as a death investigation and

1460
01:28:00,625 --> 01:28:03,250
used flock to warrant.

1461
01:28:07,349 --> 01:28:08,783
Lee search for her across state lines. That's the key

1462
01:28:08,783 --> 01:28:10,101
bit here. Flock employees and executives have been

1463
01:28:10,101 --> 01:28:12,470
lying about the company's technology and

1464
01:28:12,470 --> 01:28:15,857
government relat. Relationships a case has been

1465
01:28:15,857 --> 01:28:17,892
documented for you in which flock representatives told the

1466
01:28:17,892 --> 01:28:19,561
city council that the system did

1467
01:28:19,561 --> 01:28:23,515
not create a heat map of the individual's movements.

1468
01:28:23,515 --> 01:28:24,516
A statement, the company litter characterized as

1469
01:28:24,516 --> 01:28:28,690
misspeaking flock lobbyists were here telling this,

1470
01:28:28,690 --> 01:28:30,880
talking to this board more than a month ago.

1471
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:31,623
And spoke lies. About their security, about

1472
01:28:31,623 --> 01:28:35,223
the sharing and selling of models.

1473
01:28:39,748 --> 01:28:41,933
And data evidence at these lies has been provided to

1474
01:28:41,933 --> 01:28:45,520
you flock. Isn't just another piece of police equipment. It

1475
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:46,287
creates a network of information.

1476
01:28:46,287 --> 01:28:47,989
About where we travel with our kids, with our loved

1477
01:28:47,989 --> 01:28:49,724
ones and the more vulnerable in our community.

1478
01:28:49,724 --> 01:28:51,176
And that data is beingold and used for profit

1479
01:28:51,176 --> 01:28:53,176
or power.

1480
01:28:56,798 --> 01:28:58,266
Don't mistake your scheduling of an inconvenient time

1481
01:28:58,266 --> 01:29:00,652
for most people to be able to be, to

1482
01:29:00,652 --> 01:29:02,354
speak to you all here today for

1483
01:29:02,354 --> 01:29:06,174
actually doing. Your job and listening to your

1484
01:29:06,174 --> 01:29:08,443
constituents follow local municipalities

1485
01:29:08,443 --> 01:29:09,944
lead in organize a town hall. If you're not gonna

1486
01:29:09,944 --> 01:29:11,629
do your duty and paying attention and canceling.

1487
01:29:11,629 --> 01:29:12,397
Thank thank you for your comments.

1488
01:29:12,397 --> 01:29:17,197
Comments. So come on down. Good morning, everyone.

1489
01:29:20,221 --> 01:29:22,440
My name is Lori Panora and I'm an I H

1490
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:27,429
S S worker. I've been an I H S S worker

1491
01:29:27,429 --> 01:29:28,897
for seven and a half years for an

1492
01:29:28,897 --> 01:29:31,149
elderly lady with dementia and grass valley.

1493
01:29:31,149 --> 01:29:33,151
I wanna applaud each and every one of you, because

1494
01:29:33,151 --> 01:29:38,551
I know what you do. They deserve their raise

1495
01:29:39,441 --> 01:29:41,426
Gas prices alone, taking their clients.

1496
01:29:41,426 --> 01:29:45,626
Just to where they need to be.

1497
01:29:47,682 --> 01:29:49,617
Takes up a good portion of their paychecks and not

1498
01:29:49,617 --> 01:29:51,569
to mention the fact that they mighget 'em a

1499
01:29:51,569 --> 01:29:55,769
milkshake while they're out. Okay. These people

1500
01:29:56,157 --> 01:29:59,294
and myself are doing everything in our power to keep

1501
01:29:59,294 --> 01:30:01,913
these people safe at home. And if I'm not gonna demand

1502
01:30:01,913 --> 01:30:04,182
it, I am demanding it.

1503
01:30:04,182 --> 01:30:08,982
They need a raise. I need a raise.

1504
01:30:10,422 --> 01:30:11,928
I wrote an article in the paper. You might have

1505
01:30:11,928 --> 01:30:16,728
read, it was called thoughts of a caregiver.

1506
01:30:18,217 --> 01:30:20,837
And I wrote the article, the union published it, and

1507
01:30:20,837 --> 01:30:23,639
I gave my true opinion of what Niana county is

1508
01:30:23,639 --> 01:30:24,306
not doing. For these people.

1509
01:30:24,306 --> 01:30:27,560
For the people that are older. Or have autism or have

1510
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:32,114
other issues. Issues, you guys can make this

1511
01:30:32,114 --> 01:30:34,283
happen for us. And I'm pleading with you to

1512
01:30:34,283 --> 01:30:37,937
do so. Because this program is the

1513
01:30:37,937 --> 01:30:41,824
best program. That we can come up with for

1514
01:30:41,824 --> 01:30:46,240
the people in Nevada county. Thank you.

1515
01:30:50,966 --> 01:30:52,802
Thank you. So we have one caller that we're gonna

1516
01:30:52,802 --> 01:30:55,204
take. So just give us a second and we're gonna

1517
01:30:55,204 --> 01:30:57,923
take the caller. And then the last speaker.

1518
01:30:57,923 --> 01:31:01,610
So go ahead, Sierra. Hello, this is Matthew

1519
01:31:01,610 --> 01:31:05,514
Coulter, Nevada county. Calling into the board of

1520
01:31:05,514 --> 01:31:06,999
supervisors, meeting, listening to the

1521
01:31:06,999 --> 01:31:09,100
haves and have-nots. Nots of Nevada county, certain

1522
01:31:09,100 --> 01:31:10,753
people in Nevada county. Get card blanche to do wha

1523
01:31:10,753 --> 01:31:15,391
they want. They lying to the right people

1524
01:31:15,391 --> 01:31:18,210
or grease the right palms.

1525
01:31:18,210 --> 01:31:20,112
Palms and their projects are moved along.

1526
01:31:20,112 --> 01:31:22,112
With expedition.

1527
01:31:24,533 --> 01:31:29,933
The rest of us are in food bank lines.

1528
01:31:30,322 --> 01:31:32,742
Trying to get food, trying to get access to the

1529
01:31:32,742 --> 01:31:35,344
grocery stores, tripping over. The multitude of homeless that.

1530
01:31:35,344 --> 01:31:41,944
Now at deciding to just sleep. Wherever they want and block.

1531
01:31:42,510 --> 01:31:46,105
Access of public public access on public sidewalks trails.

1532
01:31:46,105 --> 01:31:47,673
Frails building hard structures out of pallets and

1533
01:31:47,673 --> 01:31:49,742
plywood and. Metal sheeting currently all

1534
01:31:49,742 --> 01:31:51,742
over town.

1535
01:31:56,549 --> 01:32:00,319
And this isn't a grass valley problem. This is a

1536
01:32:00,319 --> 01:32:01,437
county created problem. Cause a lot of these folks come

1537
01:32:01,437 --> 01:32:04,206
into town. For services, they do drugs.

1538
01:32:04,206 --> 01:32:08,127
They get arrested, they go to jail. So now they're in

1539
01:32:08,127 --> 01:32:12,381
our system. So now they're here. We have

1540
01:32:12,381 --> 01:32:13,215
adopted them. There's a guy yesterday.

1541
01:32:13,215 --> 01:32:14,150
I hadn't heard this before. He's on.

1542
01:32:14,150 --> 01:32:17,150
Parole from the state forever.

1543
01:32:20,506 --> 01:32:23,659
He's never allowed to be off of parole. So I

1544
01:32:23,659 --> 01:32:24,694
don't know what he did, but he's the homeless guy

1545
01:32:24,694 --> 01:32:26,679
in Brunswick basin. And this is one of many, many,

1546
01:32:26,679 --> 01:32:29,810
many, many people that are now living in

1547
01:32:29,810 --> 01:32:30,549
our community. Once it starts to rain.

1548
01:32:30,549 --> 01:32:34,837
They're gonna occupy the. Bacon houses and burn them

1549
01:32:34,837 --> 01:32:36,856
down. If they don't do it before, then this is

1550
01:32:36,856 --> 01:32:40,893
already becoming a problem. It has been a problem. It's a

1551
01:32:40,893 --> 01:32:42,712
yearly thing we deal with. And every year we

1552
01:32:42,712 --> 01:32:44,480
try to reinvent the wheel.

1553
01:32:44,480 --> 01:32:47,333
And then go move the homeless, like right before it

1554
01:32:47,333 --> 01:32:50,333
rains. Rains and displaced them.

1555
01:32:53,155 --> 01:32:54,590
There really needs to be more done to help the

1556
01:32:54,590 --> 01:32:55,825
folks that don't have housing. There's a lot of people

1557
01:32:55,825 --> 01:33:00,279
living in trailers illegally. Legally in the city limit to

1558
01:33:00,279 --> 01:33:01,647
grass valley, but no one seems to think that is

1559
01:33:01,647 --> 01:33:03,933
illegal even though it's supposedly is.

1560
01:33:03,933 --> 01:33:06,235
So some people can't get away with things. Other people

1561
01:33:06,235 --> 01:33:07,403
can't. Can't it's a real problem in

1562
01:33:07,403 --> 01:33:09,403
our county.

1563
01:33:14,193 --> 01:33:16,178
The duality of what we're living in. It's much like

1564
01:33:16,178 --> 01:33:18,514
when the mine owners and the mine workers were here,

1565
01:33:18,514 --> 01:33:20,165
the workers were expendable and the.

1566
01:33:20,165 --> 01:33:24,603
Owners ruled the roost. Roost we're in the same type

1567
01:33:24,603 --> 01:33:26,455
of situation now with the grass lley city council.

1568
01:33:26,455 --> 01:33:27,223
Expending so much money on travel.

1569
01:33:27,223 --> 01:33:30,223
Expenses for a city of 12,000.

1570
01:33:34,747 --> 01:33:36,765
And, you know, even Hillary, the mayor is going to

1571
01:33:36,765 --> 01:33:40,603
go to travel outta town on the city's dime.

1572
01:33:40,603 --> 01:33:43,806
And she's lame duck. There's nothing she's gonna do for

1573
01:33:43,806 --> 01:33:44,974
us, but she's gonna go to a conference in Southern

1574
01:33:44,974 --> 01:33:45,875
California. And spend our money and let us

1575
01:33:45,875 --> 01:33:48,377
know how great. We are, we know we're

1576
01:33:48,377 --> 01:33:50,377
great, Hillary.

1577
01:33:56,252 --> 01:33:58,530
We know we're great. Lisa, why don't we recognize it

1578
01:33:58,530 --> 01:34:00,990
and operate from that place versus a place of why

1579
01:34:00,990 --> 01:34:02,491
can't we be like Roosevelt? Why can't we be like

1580
01:34:02,491 --> 01:34:04,126
Sacramento? Why can't we be like Napa?

1581
01:34:04,126 --> 01:34:08,297
Where are they doing? That's so successful.

1582
01:34:08,297 --> 01:34:11,897
Thank you. Okay, go ahead. Hi.

1583
01:34:12,801 --> 01:34:17,540
My name is Jane Taylor. I am a representative of

1584
01:34:17,540 --> 01:34:21,740
Nevada county. For UDW United invest workers.

1585
01:34:23,312 --> 01:34:28,712
My son is adopted from birth. He's severely autistic.

1586
01:34:30,452 --> 01:34:33,122
Non-verbal beat himself, puts his head through walls.

1587
01:34:33,122 --> 01:34:37,322
We have really worked with him over

1588
01:34:37,493 --> 01:34:41,564
the years. And we've moved to Finn valley

1589
01:34:41,564 --> 01:34:46,364
where we found a serenity place to live.

1590
01:34:47,169 --> 01:34:50,500
We love this boy so much. He goes everywhere with

1591
01:34:50,500 --> 01:34:52,700
us. He's sitting in the audience.

1592
01:34:52,700 --> 01:34:55,845
With the headphones on his ears because he has silencers.

1593
01:34:55,845 --> 01:34:58,914
He wears a talk box because he doesn't he's non-verbal.

1594
01:34:58,914 --> 01:35:01,317
But he does communicate now. Since we've worked so much

1595
01:35:01,317 --> 01:35:05,821
with him. With this county and the, and

1596
01:35:05,821 --> 01:35:07,523
the programs that you've provided.

1597
01:35:07,523 --> 01:35:10,523
Provided have been so great.

1598
01:35:13,195 --> 01:35:15,970
Even though he hasn't been able to attend a lot

1599
01:35:15,970 --> 01:35:17,132
of them because of his behaviors.

1600
01:35:17,132 --> 01:35:19,568
Behaviors. We have still been able to.

1601
01:35:19,568 --> 01:35:25,568
Get him to be to where he is now starting.

1602
01:35:26,976 --> 01:35:32,376
To grow like a little flower. It's been 30 years.

1603
01:35:34,116 --> 01:35:36,285
I have been a domestic worker for 30 years with

1604
01:35:36,285 --> 01:35:39,885
this child. And here's our world.

1605
01:35:40,656 --> 01:35:46,656
Please help us to keep him. Safe in this community.

1606
01:35:47,429 --> 01:35:49,198
Which is the only community he really knows.

1607
01:35:49,198 --> 01:35:55,198
Knows. We love Nevada county. We live in Penn valley.

1608
01:35:57,673 --> 01:36:01,360
We've lived in grass valley. And it's like,

1609
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:04,513
the world is here for him. That you folks can make

1610
01:36:04,513 --> 01:36:06,513
him blossom.

1611
01:36:10,736 --> 01:36:11,570
But we need to be able to support him.

1612
01:36:11,570 --> 01:36:14,570
In every way we can.

1613
01:36:16,692 --> 01:36:20,946
We really do appreciate what you're doing for us.

1614
01:36:20,946 --> 01:36:25,000
And our union. We are trying to be strong.

1615
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:29,288
As you see our field of green. And

1616
01:36:29,288 --> 01:36:31,688
please help everybody. That'ssking.

1617
01:36:35,440 --> 01:36:38,644
We appreciate your time. Thank you.

1618
01:36:39,780 --> 01:36:41,478
Thank you. Thank you.

1619
01:36:49,255 --> 01:36:52,642
Good morning board Lee, French. strict two, Rob

1620
01:36:52,642 --> 01:36:54,642
Tucker's district. We

1621
01:36:57,246 --> 01:37:02,460
keep hearing about flock. And all of the

1622
01:37:05,540 --> 01:37:08,257
people who are against flock, of course have their disaster

1623
01:37:08,257 --> 01:37:10,309
stories. Which are not really

1624
01:37:10,309 --> 01:37:12,144
disasters. There's something that can be

1625
01:37:12,144 --> 01:37:15,264
solved. Solved. We need to get

1626
01:37:15,264 --> 01:37:17,867
together. We need to have a group.

1627
01:37:17,867 --> 01:37:22,210
To go through this. To talk about how flock.

1628
01:37:22,210 --> 01:37:25,621
Is currently on contract with us.

1629
01:37:26,709 --> 01:37:30,909
We need to talk about. Where the

1630
01:37:37,286 --> 01:37:39,322
flock cameras are going to be a lot of people.

1631
01:37:39,322 --> 01:37:40,356
Think they're outside their front door and they're

1632
01:37:40,356 --> 01:37:42,558
staring at them and looking at them and,

1633
01:37:42,558 --> 01:37:45,628
and taking. Down all the information about

1634
01:37:45,628 --> 01:37:50,833
their personal lives. Not true. As I said, last meeting.

1635
01:37:50,833 --> 01:37:51,701
Your personal lives are more in jeopardy.

1636
01:37:51,701 --> 01:37:55,605
Jeopardy by pulling into a store parking lot.

1637
01:37:55,605 --> 01:37:57,773
Or buying groceries or using your card?

1638
01:37:57,773 --> 01:38:01,373
Your credit card. So I'm with

1639
01:38:05,681 --> 01:38:09,881
Matthew or Mike Taylor and several others

1640
01:38:09,919 --> 01:38:13,890
who would like to pull together a group.

1641
01:38:13,890 --> 01:38:13,956
To go over this, take a look at it.

1642
01:38:13,956 --> 01:38:14,790
Find out where all these flock cameras.

1643
01:38:14,790 --> 01:38:19,590
Are the criteria. Used to in their placement.

1644
01:38:23,733 --> 01:38:27,300
And let's, let's talk about this and really get the

1645
01:38:27,300 --> 01:38:28,504
true story out there. With the every system, there

1646
01:38:28,504 --> 01:38:32,704
is a problem. And I recognize that.

1647
01:38:33,750 --> 01:38:36,780
Every system has that person. In the background waiting

1648
01:38:36,780 --> 01:38:40,878
to cause. A problem for their own benefit.

1649
01:38:43,953 --> 01:38:48,257
In some manner, whether it's financial or personal. So I'm

1650
01:38:48,257 --> 01:38:49,910
asking. The board to

1651
01:38:49,910 --> 01:38:52,528
set up a group to. Review this along with the

1652
01:38:52,528 --> 01:38:56,128
Sheriff's department. And let's talk about

1653
01:38:57,566 --> 01:39:01,166
in a, in a common manner.

1654
01:39:02,271 --> 01:39:05,307
As to how we can really make this thing work.

1655
01:39:05,307 --> 01:39:09,178
It is a tool for our law enforcement.

1656
01:39:09,178 --> 01:39:12,982
And we must be able. To help them do their job.

1657
01:39:12,982 --> 01:39:16,218
Thank you. Thank you. All right, I'm gonna close

1658
01:39:16,218 --> 01:39:18,218
public comment. And

1659
01:39:26,328 --> 01:39:27,830
we are now going to, oh, I'm sorry, Sierra. I

1660
01:39:27,830 --> 01:39:29,598
should check any more callers. So is that the last

1661
01:39:29,598 --> 01:39:33,903
one? No, the callers. Thank you. All right.

1662
01:39:33,903 --> 01:39:34,870
So we are now going to recess as the board

1663
01:39:34,870 --> 01:39:36,500
of supervisors and convene as the Nevada county

1664
01:39:36,500 --> 01:39:38,474
sanitation district. Our first item is the consent

1665
01:39:38,474 --> 01:39:42,740
calendar for the. Sanitation district. These

1666
01:39:42,261 --> 01:39:44,300
items are expected to be routined and

1667
01:39:44,300 --> 01:39:46,115
non-controversial on the board will act upon them at one

1668
01:39:46,115 --> 01:39:48,351
time without any discussion. Something can be pulled if it

1669
01:39:48,351 --> 01:39:51,300
would be the choice of the board. Anybody wanna

1670
01:39:51,300 --> 01:39:54,730
pull anything off of consent? For the sanitation. Is there

1671
01:39:54,730 --> 01:39:57,260
any public comment on the consent calendar for the

1672
01:39:57,260 --> 01:39:58,160
sanitation district? Okay. Seeing then I would ask

1673
01:39:58,160 --> 01:39:59,195
for a motion in a second.

1674
01:39:59,195 --> 01:40:03,549
Do you adopt? Second. All right. Roll call

1675
01:40:03,549 --> 01:40:05,549

1678
01:40:12,458 --> 01:40:17,258
All right. We have no items. For the

1679
01:40:19,699 --> 01:40:21,167
sanitation district, but I will open general public

1680
01:40:21,167 --> 01:40:22,685
comment on the sanitationistrict. If

1681
01:40:22,685 --> 01:40:26,550
there is any. All right. Seeing none, we

1682
01:40:26,550 --> 01:40:29,550
will close the public comment.

1683
01:40:31,210 --> 01:40:32,361
And we are goingo adjourn as the Nevada county

1684
01:40:32,361 --> 01:40:33,496
sanitation district and reconvene as the board

1685
01:40:33,496 --> 01:40:35,496
of supervisors.

1686
01:40:38,918 --> 01:40:39,952
Supervisors. So do we need to take a quick break

1687
01:40:39,952 --> 01:40:40,986
before? Yeah, I think we're just gonna do a five

1688
01:40:40,986 --> 01:40:42,972
minute break before our next, so next. So hang tight.

1689
01:40:42,972 --> 01:40:44,972
Thank you.

1690
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:25,428
Our next item is the public Haring to consider.

1691
01:46:26,268 --> 01:46:27,502
The appeal filed by Sandy cor regarding the July 8th,

1692
01:46:27,502 --> 01:46:29,502
2026 zoning administrator decision

1693
01:46:29,971 --> 01:46:31,973
to approve. Four conditional certificates

1694
01:46:31,973 --> 01:46:33,973
of compliance.

1695
01:46:38,580 --> 01:46:41,783
I'm gonna let you guys give us the details. Good

1696
01:46:41,783 --> 01:46:43,352
morning. Thank you. Great, good morning chair. Thank

1697
01:46:43,352 --> 01:46:44,353
you, supervisors. I'm gonna.

1698
01:46:44,353 --> 01:46:46,555
Turn the presentation over to Zachary Rubal. We'll go through

1699
01:46:46,555 --> 01:46:48,555
the, the project.

1700
01:46:51,426 --> 01:46:54,129
And the appeal points. Is that correct? Thank you, director

1701
01:46:54,129 --> 01:46:56,640
Foz. Hi, my name is Zach Ruben. I'm associate planner

1702
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:57,599
here at the Nevada accounting planning department. And.

1703
01:46:57,599 --> 01:46:59,701
The project planner for the course and Tahoe Creek ranch

1704
01:46:59,701 --> 01:47:04,501
project appeal in front of the board today.

1705
01:47:08,176 --> 01:47:09,311
So we'll start off with the project description. So the

1706
01:47:09,311 --> 01:47:10,512
project is an application for four conditional certificates

1707
01:47:10,512 --> 01:47:13,181
of compliance to grant legal parcel.

1708
01:47:13,181 --> 01:47:14,115
Status for four lots originally conveyed by a

1709
01:47:14,115 --> 01:47:16,418
series of patents and an associated lot

1710
01:47:16,418 --> 01:47:18,887
line adjustment between three adjacent

1711
01:47:18,887 --> 01:47:21,590
parcels to configure. Two current legal parcels and

1712
01:47:21,590 --> 01:47:23,825
one parcel being legalized by the associated conditional

1713
01:47:23,825 --> 01:47:26,394
certificate of compliance within the Tahoe Creek

1714
01:47:26,394 --> 01:47:29,264
ranch area. We'd like to note that the lot

1715
01:47:29,264 --> 01:47:30,498
land adjustment will not create any additional

1716
01:47:30,498 --> 01:47:33,680
parcels nor increase the density in

1717
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:36,538
the area at all. So this map right here. So

1718
01:47:36,538 --> 01:47:39,374
parcels one through 10 that are shown on the map

1719
01:47:39,374 --> 01:47:40,642
right here. The ones that are highlighted in

1720
01:47:40,642 --> 01:47:42,100
yellow, those are the four conditional.

1721
01:47:42,100 --> 01:47:47,410
Certificates of compliance that we are looking at here.

1722
01:47:47,449 --> 01:47:48,450
The other six were non-traditional cuz they met

1723
01:47:48,450 --> 01:47:50,352
all standards. And so those ones have been

1724
01:47:50,352 --> 01:47:52,870
issued, but these four highlighted ones are the ones

1725
01:47:52,870 --> 01:47:58,870
we're looking at specifically. I just wanna give a little.

1726
01:47:58,393 --> 01:47:59,427
Overview on the existing configuration. So I have

1727
01:47:59,427 --> 01:48:03,310
them numbered right here. So this is parcel

1728
01:48:03,310 --> 01:48:04,966
one currently, and it's kind of delineated through the

1729
01:48:04,966 --> 01:48:05,800
pink line. Then we have parcel two it's

1730
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:07,769
delineated right through here, and then parcel three.

1731
01:48:07,769 --> 01:48:08,937
That's existing. And then through the proposed boundary

1732
01:48:08,937 --> 01:48:10,937
line adjustment.

1733
01:48:14,876 --> 01:48:18,213
So one parcel. So this parcel would be approximately 582

1734
01:48:18,213 --> 01:48:20,348
acres. So it will encompass this area and all of

1735
01:48:20,348 --> 01:48:21,183
here. A second parcel. That's gonna

1736
01:48:21,183 --> 01:48:24,219
be approximately 33 acres will be here.

1737
01:48:24,219 --> 01:48:25,120
And then the third parcel right here will

1738
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:28,720
be approximately 39 acres or just under 40.

1739
01:48:39,670 --> 01:48:40,235
So the, all the parcels are. Located in the unincorporated

1740
01:48:40,235 --> 01:48:41,102
area of Truckee, approximately 8.1 miles

1741
01:48:41,102 --> 01:48:44,102
Noheast Truckey river wildlife area.

1742
01:48:45,123 --> 01:48:46,608
That the majority of the subject parcels have not been

1743
01:48:46,608 --> 01:48:47,709
developed. However, there is a permitted metal storage

1744
01:48:47,709 --> 01:48:49,709
building on APN 0 4, 9 0 2 0 0 0 3.

1745
01:48:54,883 --> 01:48:55,984
The adjacent properties are zoned majority forest, one

1746
01:48:55,984 --> 01:48:57,919
60 forest with the subdivision

1747
01:48:57,919 --> 01:48:59,604
limitation, general agricultural assembly

1748
01:48:59,604 --> 01:49:02,604
subdivision limitation. General agricultural 20 acre,

1749
01:49:02,841 --> 01:49:04,526
minimum parcel size, and residential agricultural

1750
01:49:04,526 --> 01:49:07,729
with a minimum parcel size of three acres.

1751
01:49:07,729 --> 01:49:09,614
So for the appeal argument one, the argument was the

1752
01:49:09,614 --> 01:49:10,815
administrative record and APN noticing issue contained an

1753
01:49:10,815 --> 01:49:12,815
APN discrepancy.

1754
01:49:16,271 --> 01:49:17,322
And so the Nevada county planning department was

1755
01:49:17,322 --> 01:49:19,291
first made aware of this on July 2nd. So

1756
01:49:19,291 --> 01:49:21,393
about six days before the hearing. And immediately

1757
01:49:21,393 --> 01:49:24,946
after that, we reached o to. County council and through

1758
01:49:24,946 --> 01:49:26,665
discussions with county council, it was

1759
01:49:26,665 --> 01:49:27,632
determined that the notice while it did contain

1760
01:49:27,632 --> 01:49:30,275
the incorrect APN that it's considered a.

1761
01:49:30,275 --> 01:49:31,360
Technical error and does not ha any bearing on the

1762
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:34,763
legal effectiveness of the notice because the time.

1763
01:49:34,763 --> 01:49:36,348
The place of the hearing and e overall subject matter

1764
01:49:36,348 --> 01:49:39,948
was clearly in, correct in the.

1765
01:49:43,405 --> 01:49:45,274
Public notice. And then also there was a, or there

1766
01:49:45,274 --> 01:49:46,992
is a link that you in every singleublic notice

1767
01:49:46,992 --> 01:49:48,270
that you can click and it takes you directly to

1768
01:49:48,270 --> 01:49:48,794
all the project documents as well.

1769
01:49:48,794 --> 01:49:49,795
Where all the project documents were referenced

1770
01:49:49,795 --> 01:49:52,795
correctly in there as well.

1771
01:49:55,250 --> 01:49:56,969
And so it was determined that it was a minor

1772
01:49:56,969 --> 01:49:58,300
clerical incongruity in the notice, and that any

1773
01:49:58,300 --> 01:49:59,972
such incongruity would not have a prejudicial

1774
01:49:59,972 --> 01:50:01,707
effect on the outcome of the proceeding.

1775
01:50:01,707 --> 01:50:02,724
Proceedings, additionally, out of the 29 letters of

1776
01:50:02,724 --> 01:50:06,924
opposition that we received from public members.

1777
01:50:08,547 --> 01:50:11,750
Only three of those letters referenced the incorrect APN at

1778
01:50:11,750 --> 01:50:12,684
all. And so kind of demonstrating that the

1779
01:50:12,684 --> 01:50:15,737
majority of the individuals did understand

1780
01:50:15,737 --> 01:50:16,505
where the project. Or location was

1781
01:50:16,505 --> 01:50:17,639
so appeal argument two is on the noticing of procedural

1782
01:50:17,639 --> 01:50:19,639
concerns.

1783
01:50:21,393 --> 01:50:22,494
Concerns that the noticing associated with the July

1784
01:50:22,494 --> 01:50:23,829
eight hearing raises procedural concerns

1785
01:50:23,829 --> 01:50:25,814
regarding clarity, timing,nd completeness of the

1786
01:50:25,814 --> 01:50:30,200
public record. So the, the, the pubc notice

1787
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:32,938
was published in the newspaper and it was mailed

1788
01:50:32,938 --> 01:50:35,891
out to the public members on June 26th, 2020.

1789
01:50:35,891 --> 01:50:36,992
Six ensuring consistency with the 10 day circulation

1790
01:50:36,992 --> 01:50:39,294
requirement, pursuant to Nevada county code and

1791
01:50:39,294 --> 01:50:41,294
California government code.

1792
01:50:44,660 --> 01:50:45,670
And the property owners within 500 feet receive

1793
01:50:45,670 --> 01:50:47,736
notification. And so for other residents that

1794
01:50:47,736 --> 01:50:49,238
did not receive notification, that

1795
01:50:49,238 --> 01:50:50,305
means that they were outside of the 500 foot.

1796
01:50:50,305 --> 01:50:53,305
Noticing requirement. However, if they.

1797
01:50:54,810 --> 01:50:56,178
Would like in the future to be included on outside,

1798
01:50:56,178 --> 01:50:57,646
noticing as well that they can submit something to us

1799
01:50:57,646 --> 01:50:59,470
and asking for that. So they can be notified for

1800
01:50:59,470 --> 01:51:00,382
all future par projects. Projects in the general area

1801
01:51:00,382 --> 01:51:02,382
in the future.

1802
01:51:05,487 --> 01:51:07,322
So all public comments were included in the record and

1803
01:51:07,322 --> 01:51:08,323
provided to the zoning administrator prior to the

1804
01:51:08,323 --> 01:51:09,691
public hearing. And as mentioned earlier, as

1805
01:51:09,691 --> 01:51:11,930
well of the 29 letters of opposition.

1806
01:51:11,930 --> 01:51:14,630
Received only three letters referenced that incorrect APN.

1807
01:51:14,630 --> 01:51:15,631
APN appeal. Argument three was regarding zoning

1808
01:51:15,631 --> 01:51:19,268
interpretation and transparency. And so in the staff report for

1809
01:51:19,268 --> 01:51:23,705
the zoning administrator, hearing there was a general

1810
01:51:23,705 --> 01:51:26,705
plan in zoning consistency section.

1811
01:51:30,512 --> 01:51:32,814
That discussed the project and how the proposed project would

1812
01:51:32,814 --> 01:51:35,450
not have any inconsistencies with the general plan or the

1813
01:51:35,450 --> 01:51:36,351
zoning code. And there is one very small

1814
01:51:36,351 --> 01:51:38,351
portion of forest.

1815
01:51:43,592 --> 01:51:45,460
X with a zoning at the very, very Southern portion

1816
01:51:45,460 --> 01:51:49,998
of APN 0 4 9 0 2 0 0 0 5. And it's such a minor area. It's

1817
01:51:49,998 --> 01:51:50,699
we? Could think it could be a

1818
01:51:50,699 --> 01:51:52,340
mapping error just due to kind of how it's looking,

1819
01:51:52,340 --> 01:51:53,235
but just to make sure that we were

1820
01:51:53,235 --> 01:51:54,303
being completely. Exhaustive on our review, we

1821
01:51:54,303 --> 01:51:55,370
did make sure that we include that portion in the

1822
01:51:55,370 --> 01:51:58,970
zoning administrator. Staff report and hearing

1823
01:51:59,308 --> 01:52:04,708
and so also as well as for any additional.

1824
01:52:07,850 --> 01:52:09,852
Construction activities or any new uses that are proposed on

1825
01:52:09,852 --> 01:52:12,654
any of those parcels because it's zoned IDR. The majority

1826
01:52:12,654 --> 01:52:14,220
of all these areas, a zoning map.

1827
01:52:14,220 --> 01:52:16,525
A comprehensive master plan and, or a specific plan would

1828
01:52:16,525 --> 01:52:17,359
be required. Required in addition to a

1829
01:52:17,359 --> 01:52:18,193
permanent rezone to establish the

1830
01:52:18,193 --> 01:52:20,193
zoning district.

1831
01:52:23,866 --> 01:52:24,967
And kind of furthering that, the point that this very

1832
01:52:24,967 --> 01:52:26,735
small area of the FRX would not cause for any

1833
01:52:26,735 --> 01:52:28,837
issues and that the overall project is consistent with the

1834
01:52:28,837 --> 01:52:29,438
zoning. And the general

1835
01:52:29,438 --> 01:52:31,438
plan designations.

1836
01:52:34,443 --> 01:52:37,112
So appeal argument for is the S Q reference exemption

1837
01:52:37,112 --> 01:52:40,449
and that the staff report cite seq exemption, section 1, 561.

1838
01:52:40,449 --> 01:52:42,718
And that they believe that the exemption relies on assumptions

1839
01:52:42,718 --> 01:52:48,718
and may not be fully supported by the administrative record.

1840
01:52:48,924 --> 01:52:50,359
So C Q a does only apply to projects that

1841
01:52:50,359 --> 01:52:52,194
have to potential for causing a significant effect on the

1842
01:52:52,194 --> 01:52:53,261
environment. And if there's no possibility that the

1843
01:52:53,261 --> 01:52:55,300
activity may have in a significant.

1844
01:52:55,300 --> 01:52:59,668
Effect the activity is exempt from se Q a.

1845
01:52:59,668 --> 01:53:00,702
With this project, there is absolutely no ground

1846
01:53:00,702 --> 01:53:02,304
disturbance proposed whatsoever in it's solely just

1847
01:53:02,304 --> 01:53:04,840
legalizing parcels and moving boundary

1848
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:08,477
lines bit more or less. The paperwork exercise, and

1849
01:53:08,477 --> 01:53:10,145
there's not like I said, no ground disturbance. So

1850
01:53:10,145 --> 01:53:11,780
therefore the proposed project does not have

1851
01:53:11,780 --> 01:53:13,915
the potential for having an impact on the environment.

1852
01:53:13,915 --> 01:53:16,915
Since there's no development whatsoever.

1853
01:53:18,186 --> 01:53:20,550
And therefore the project was determined by staff to be

1854
01:53:20,550 --> 01:53:24,255
exempt from Equa pursuant to section 1, 561. three.

1855
01:53:26,695 --> 01:53:29,898
And therefore the, our staff recommends that the board of

1856
01:53:29,898 --> 01:53:30,866
supervisors take the recommendation is shown on

1857
01:53:30,866 --> 01:53:33,266
screen and adapt the.

1858
01:53:34,102 --> 01:53:36,400
Adopt the attached resolution to deny the appeal and to

1859
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:37,720
uphold the decision of the zoning administrator to

1860
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:38,640
approve the four conditional certificates

1861
01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:42,240
of compliance. Originally conveyed by a

1862
01:53:42,778 --> 01:53:44,613
series of patents and, and the associated lot line adjustment

1863
01:53:44,613 --> 01:53:47,820
application between the three adjacent parcels

1864
01:53:47,820 --> 01:53:47,949
within the Tahoe Creek ranch area.

1865
01:53:47,949 --> 01:53:49,685
That concludes our presentation. I'm open to any

1866
01:53:49,685 --> 01:53:52,685
questions. Thank you. Thank you.

1867
01:53:53,755 --> 01:53:55,290
I think we're gonna hear from the appellant first and

1868
01:53:55,290 --> 01:53:56,825
then I'll have, see if the board has any questions

1869
01:53:56,825 --> 01:53:57,693
for either that. Appellant or the county

1870
01:53:57,693 --> 01:53:59,693
staff. So.

1871
01:54:02,970 --> 01:54:05,233
Thank you. Go ahead. Good morning chair, Swarth out and

1872
01:54:05,233 --> 01:54:06,635
members of the board. My name is Sandy KTH and I'm

1873
01:54:06,635 --> 01:54:07,936
the appellant in this matter.

1874
01:54:07,936 --> 01:54:12,736
Thank you for the opportunity to speak today.

1875
01:54:13,975 --> 01:54:16,311
For the board's convenience. I provided a two page written

1876
01:54:16,311 --> 01:54:17,913
summary of the, the points. I also wanna acknowledge

1877
01:54:17,913 --> 01:54:19,481
the professionalism. And responsiveness of

1878
01:54:19,481 --> 01:54:23,685
associate planner. The clerk to both the planning

1879
01:54:23,685 --> 01:54:24,953
commission and the zoning administrator.

1880
01:54:24,953 --> 01:54:29,153
And the interim clerk of the board.

1881
01:54:30,959 --> 01:54:32,270
As well as the zoning, administrator's graciousness

1882
01:54:32,270 --> 01:54:36,231
through this process. My appeal is focused solely on

1883
01:54:36,231 --> 01:54:37,866
procedural clarity. Ensuring that the

1884
01:54:37,866 --> 01:54:40,266
administrative record. Noticing zoning

1885
01:54:41,737 --> 01:54:45,937
designation interpretation. And Siqua exemption are all

1886
01:54:46,308 --> 01:54:49,308
clearly documented and understandable to

1887
01:54:49,578 --> 01:54:50,479
the public. This appeal does not challenge

1888
01:54:50,479 --> 01:54:53,148
the merits of the boundary line adjustment.

1889
01:54:53,148 --> 01:54:57,948
Or the resulting conditional certificates of the compliance.

1890
01:54:59,221 --> 01:55:01,556
It is simply about ensuring that the decision is supported

1891
01:55:01,556 --> 01:55:04,826
by a clear, complete, and accurate record.

1892
01:55:04,826 --> 01:55:07,229
Here and after boundary line adjustment is referred to as

1893
01:55:07,229 --> 01:55:09,398
B O a. And conditional certificate of

1894
01:55:09,398 --> 01:55:10,632
compliance. That's referred to as C,

1895
01:55:10,632 --> 01:55:12,670
C O C. While the staff report appears

1896
01:55:12,670 --> 01:55:16,267
procedurally. Correct. Some aspects of the record

1897
01:55:17,539 --> 01:55:21,309
were not fully clear to the public.

1898
01:55:21,309 --> 01:55:23,450
Particularly regarding which parcels were involved and how

1899
01:55:23,450 --> 01:55:25,213
the Blea reconfigured them.

1900
01:55:25,213 --> 01:55:28,813
My first point concerns, administrative record.

1901
01:55:33,540 --> 01:55:35,991
There was an APN discrepancy between the parcel listed in

1902
01:55:35,991 --> 01:55:37,692
the public notice and the parcels reference in the staff

1903
01:55:37,692 --> 01:55:39,940
report. After planning staff

1904
01:55:39,940 --> 01:55:41,730
consultant with county council, the discrepancy was

1905
01:55:41,730 --> 01:55:43,265
treated as a technical noticing error.

1906
01:55:43,265 --> 01:55:47,369
Even as a technicality. It created some uncertainty

1907
01:55:47,369 --> 01:55:49,400
for property owners, trying to understand

1908
01:55:49,400 --> 01:55:55,760
which parcel was under review. Prior to the July 8th hearing.

1909
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:56,161
I contact the planning department because of observed

1910
01:55:56,161 --> 01:55:57,962
staging activity on a partial.

1911
01:55:57,962 --> 01:56:00,362
Later identified as APN.

1912
01:56:03,100 --> 01:56:06,100
APN 0 4 9 0 2 0. 0 0 2. One of the parcels

1913
01:56:07,939 --> 01:56:12,739
included in the, in the B L a.

1914
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:17,582
BLE because this activity was incurring on one of the

1915
01:56:17,582 --> 01:56:18,650
parcels being adjusted. It created uncertainty for me

1916
01:56:18,650 --> 01:56:19,351
and for other property owners.

1917
01:56:19,351 --> 01:56:21,753
About whether the staging was related to the project.

1918
01:56:21,753 --> 01:56:24,756
In my email, I asked whether proposed parcel two had

1919
01:56:24,756 --> 01:56:26,157
any permits. Permits staff confirmed that

1920
01:56:26,157 --> 01:56:27,225
no development permits existed for the

1921
01:56:27,225 --> 01:56:29,225
parcel.

1922
01:56:33,531 --> 01:56:34,566
And noted only general development permits exist.

1923
01:56:34,566 --> 01:56:37,635
Pardon me? And only general permit related

1924
01:56:37,635 --> 01:56:39,771
activity elsewhere in the vicinity.

1925
01:56:39,771 --> 01:56:41,973
I also submitted nine photos of the staging area as

1926
01:56:41,973 --> 01:56:45,677
part of that inquiry. To my knowledge, this photos

1927
01:56:45,677 --> 01:56:47,345
were not included in the materials available to the

1928
01:56:47,345 --> 01:56:49,614
public or the zoning administrator prior

1929
01:56:49,614 --> 01:56:51,249
to the hearing. APN 0 4 9.

1930
01:56:51,249 --> 01:56:53,649
0 2 0 0 0 2. Is referenced in the

1931
01:56:54,119 --> 01:56:56,119
staff report.

1932
01:57:01,559 --> 01:57:03,962
And shown on multiple map exhibits, including the B L

1933
01:57:03,962 --> 01:57:06,164
a maps, but it was not listed among the project

1934
01:57:06,164 --> 01:57:10,502
parcels on page one. Staff later clarified that

1935
01:57:10,502 --> 01:57:13,571
this parcel did not require a conditional certificate of

1936
01:57:13,571 --> 01:57:15,540
compliance, which is why it was emitted

1937
01:57:15,540 --> 01:57:17,800
from the page one. List, even though it is one of

1938
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:19,744
the three parcels being adjusted.

1939
01:57:19,744 --> 01:57:21,246
It's omission may have made it harder for the public

1940
01:57:21,246 --> 01:57:26,646
to understand which parcels were involved in the BLE.

1941
01:57:31,389 --> 01:57:35,427
On the BLE maps on pages 29 30 staff report result

1942
01:57:35,427 --> 01:57:40,227
in parcels two and three are shown within.

1943
01:57:40,565 --> 01:57:41,933
APN 0 4 9 0 2 0. 0 0 2, but they identify which

1944
01:57:41,933 --> 01:57:45,804
APN correspond will result in parcel one.

1945
01:57:45,804 --> 01:57:50,842
In addition, the maps show result in parcel three.

1946
01:57:50,842 --> 01:57:52,544
Expanding to the north and to the east, into adjacent

1947
01:57:52,544 --> 01:57:55,880
acreage. But the exhibit does not identify the APNs being

1948
01:57:55,880 --> 01:57:57,115
merged. Merged this lack of parcel to

1949
01:57:57,115 --> 01:57:58,783
result in parcel. Clarification made it harder

1950
01:57:58,783 --> 01:57:59,751
for the public to understand how

1951
01:57:59,751 --> 01:58:03,951
the B L a affected each parcel.

1952
01:58:04,723 --> 01:58:05,824
I appreciate that. Appreciate that today's board

1953
01:58:05,824 --> 01:58:08,824
agenda memorandum. Correctly lists APN.

1954
01:58:15,466 --> 01:58:20,104
N 0 4 9 0 2 0 0 0 2 as one of the parcels involved in the

1955
01:58:20,104 --> 01:58:22,674
B a, which helps clarify the record where the.

1956
01:58:22,674 --> 01:58:23,541
Staff report did not list it on page one.

1957
01:58:23,541 --> 01:58:25,541
This, the memorandum.

1958
01:58:28,546 --> 01:58:30,114
Also provides clearer APN identification for the result

1959
01:58:30,114 --> 01:58:32,784
in parcels. And I simply ask that this

1960
01:58:32,784 --> 01:58:34,752
level of clarity be reflected consistently through.

1961
01:58:34,752 --> 01:58:38,352
The administrative record. The staff memo.

1962
01:58:43,311 --> 01:58:47,650
Also references a result in parcel six, which does not

1963
01:58:47,650 --> 01:58:48,199
appear in the staff report, narrative or mass.

1964
01:58:48,199 --> 01:58:51,719
Because the staff report shows result in one paels, one

1965
01:58:51,719 --> 01:58:52,587
through three. Will the staff memo later

1966
01:58:52,587 --> 01:58:53,805
refers to result in parcel six.

1967
01:58:53,805 --> 01:58:55,807
A brief explanation of how the C, C O C

1968
01:58:55,807 --> 01:58:59,827
parcel numbering. Aligns with a, B L a mapping

1969
01:58:59,827 --> 01:59:01,196
would help the public understand how each

1970
01:59:01,196 --> 01:59:03,196
APN 0 4 9.affected. 0 2 0 0 0 3.

1971
01:59:11,439 --> 01:59:12,657
Which contains an existing permitted metal storage

1972
01:59:12,657 --> 01:59:15,727
building and appears to have frontage along Mars

1973
01:59:15,727 --> 01:59:19,981
peak road. receiving a C, C O C.

1974
01:59:19,981 --> 01:59:21,650
A brief clarification of how it's existing development

1975
01:59:21,650 --> 01:59:24,402
and frontage relate to the CCO C conditions.

1976
01:59:24,402 --> 01:59:25,987
Would help the plic understand the record.

1977
01:59:25,987 --> 01:59:29,390
Separately, several maps in the staff report.

1978
01:59:29,390 --> 01:59:32,390
Reference reference Mars peak drive.

1979
01:59:33,278 --> 01:59:34,395
The the correct name is Mars peak road.

1980
01:59:34,395 --> 01:59:38,366
A minor, but unclear detail. For these reasons I'm

1981
01:59:38,366 --> 01:59:41,653
simply asking. That the record clearly

1982
01:59:41,653 --> 01:59:45,373
identify the parcels. Parcels involved. So the

1983
01:59:45,373 --> 01:59:48,973
decision rests on accurate and complete.

1984
01:59:50,261 --> 01:59:51,329
Information, my second point relates to noticing and

1985
01:59:51,329 --> 01:59:54,329
completeness of the public record.

1986
01:59:56,417 --> 01:59:57,585
Some number, some neighbors report it receiving notice

1987
01:59:57,585 --> 02:00:00,605
late or not at all. And we're unsure.

1988
02:00:00,605 --> 02:00:04,459
Whether the notice applied to the correct parcel because of

1989
02:00:04,459 --> 02:00:06,459
the APN discrepancy.

1990
02:00:11,783 --> 02:00:15,870
The notice of public hearing listed the APN. That is

1991
02:00:15,870 --> 02:00:19,524
not one of the project parcels. And because the map

1992
02:00:19,524 --> 02:00:20,491
used in both the. Notice and the staff report

1993
02:00:20,491 --> 02:00:22,961
reflects zoning. It only shows project parcels as I IDR.

1994
02:00:22,961 --> 02:00:24,145
IDR without APN labels or parcel specific

1995
02:00:24,145 --> 02:00:26,447
zoning information. The public had limited ability

1996
02:00:26,447 --> 02:00:31,247
to determine which parcels were actually under review.

1997
02:00:33,471 --> 02:00:34,889
Accordinto planning staff. The noticing radius was

1998
02:00:34,889 --> 02:00:37,125
generated by specific software that

1999
02:00:37,125 --> 02:00:39,444
identifies property owners within 500 feet of

2000
02:00:39,444 --> 02:00:40,378
the project. Parcels, this radius does not

2001
02:00:40,378 --> 02:00:43,515
account for property owners who use Mars peak road.

2002
02:00:43,515 --> 02:00:44,399
A privatroad maintained by the Mars peak

2003
02:00:44,399 --> 02:00:46,734
homeowners association. And surrounded by several of

2004
02:00:46,734 --> 02:00:48,734
the project parcels.

2005
02:00:55,109 --> 02:00:56,770
Parcels to my knowledge, the H O a itself was

2006
02:00:56,770 --> 02:00:58,896
not noticed one of its board members obtained a copy

2007
02:00:58,896 --> 02:01:02,900
of the notice and forwarded to the Association's property.

2008
02:01:02,900 --> 02:01:06,888
Owners the notice was sent out on or before June 26th,

2009
02:01:06,888 --> 02:01:09,374
the week before the July 4th holiday weekend, when many.

2010
02:01:09,374 --> 02:01:11,976
Residents were away or unable to review materials.

2011
02:01:11,976 --> 02:01:13,411
Materials and staff availability was limited

2012
02:01:13,411 --> 02:01:15,411
following business day.

2013
02:01:20,752 --> 02:01:22,387
Residents in the Mars peak area, do not have home

2014
02:01:22,387 --> 02:01:25,973
mail delivery and rely instead on distant mailbox, clusters of

2015
02:01:25,973 --> 02:01:27,542
the Truckee post office. So some did not receive the

2016
02:01:27,542 --> 02:01:32,397
notice until shortly before. Or during the holiday weekend.

2017
02:01:32,397 --> 02:01:33,398
This time, he made it difficult for the

2018
02:01:33,398 --> 02:01:34,449
effective property owners to obtain clarification

2019
02:01:34,449 --> 02:01:37,449
before the July 8th hearing.

2020
02:01:41,806 --> 02:01:42,740
This notice was published in the union, which

2021
02:01:42,740 --> 02:01:45,740
primarily serves Western Nevada county.

2022
02:01:46,160 --> 02:01:47,428
Whereas the September notice was published in the Sierra sun.

2023
02:01:47,428 --> 02:01:48,696
Truckee's local paper, the shift improved clarity for

2024
02:01:48,696 --> 02:01:50,696
the affected community.

2025
02:01:53,384 --> 02:01:54,736
Separately only some public comments appeared on the

2026
02:01:54,736 --> 02:01:57,710
project webpage as attachments to the

2027
02:01:57,710 --> 02:02:00,224
staff memo. Staff indicated that these

2028
02:02:00,224 --> 02:02:02,460
were comments received after the staff

2029
02:02:02,460 --> 02:02:05,463
report had already been sent out.

2030
02:02:05,463 --> 02:02:06,798
This made it difficult for the public to understand the

2031
02:02:06,798 --> 02:02:08,433
full scope of the input submitted for the hearing.

2032
02:02:08,433 --> 02:02:11,433
I am not suggesting air.

2033
02:02:15,740 --> 02:02:17,975
Only asking that the board confirmed that the noticing and

2034
02:02:17,975 --> 02:02:19,127
public record were sufficiently clear and

2035
02:02:19,127 --> 02:02:21,533
complete given the uncertain that he.

2036
02:02:21,533 --> 02:02:23,933
He's described above third.

2037
02:02:26,955 --> 02:02:28,924
The three page photo sheet of the staging area that

2038
02:02:28,924 --> 02:02:29,908
I submitted with my written comment for the July

2039
02:02:29,908 --> 02:02:31,543
8th hearing was not included in the public

2040
02:02:31,543 --> 02:02:33,746
facing administrative record. It did not appear with a staff

2041
02:02:33,746 --> 02:02:38,546
memo or the clerk's PDF of public comments.

2042
02:02:40,919 --> 02:02:41,920
Comments board has been provided with the three

2043
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:43,756
page photo sheet that I had submitted

2044
02:02:43,756 --> 02:02:46,410
with my written comments for the July 8th hearing.

2045
02:02:46,410 --> 02:02:47,976
The photo sheet does not fully capture the extent of

2046
02:02:47,976 --> 02:02:49,962
the staging activity. Additional equipment on the

2047
02:02:49,962 --> 02:02:51,530
parcel was later identified as part

2048
02:02:51,530 --> 02:02:53,930
of the staging area.

2049
02:02:57,419 --> 02:02:58,454
Because Equa requires evaluation of existing site

2050
02:02:58,454 --> 02:03:01,907
conditions. The absence of this photo meant that the

2051
02:03:01,907 --> 02:03:03,509
zoning administrator did not have this.

2052
02:03:03,509 --> 02:03:04,827
Information when making the C Q a determination.

2053
02:03:04,827 --> 02:03:08,427
The staging activity. Observed on APN 0 4 9 0 2 0.

2054
02:03:10,182 --> 02:03:14,982
0 0 2 is not part of the project being approved.

2055
02:03:17,740 --> 02:03:21,193
However, because it occurred on one of the parcels included

2056
02:03:21,193 --> 02:03:23,193
in the BLE.

2057
02:03:24,263 --> 02:03:25,214
It ends underscores the importance of having a

2058
02:03:25,214 --> 02:03:27,614
complete and clearly documented

2059
02:03:28,150 --> 02:03:29,702
administrative record when applying a C Q exemption.

2060
02:03:29,702 --> 02:03:32,371
I respectfully request that it be included in the record

2061
02:03:32,371 --> 02:03:36,250
and considered as part of the board's review.

2062
02:03:36,250 --> 02:03:37,526
Fourth, the staff report identifies multiple zoning in

2063
02:03:37,526 --> 02:03:40,145
general plan designations associated with a

2064
02:03:40,145 --> 02:03:43,282
project parcels and explains. Explains applicable frontage

2065
02:03:43,282 --> 02:03:45,133
star standards for both the IDR and

2066
02:03:45,133 --> 02:03:48,360
FRX zoning districts. Districts staff leader,

2067
02:03:48,360 --> 02:03:49,488
clarify the parcels involved in the B

2068
02:03:49,488 --> 02:03:53,559
L a are zoned IDR. IDR with a small portion of

2069
02:03:53,559 --> 02:03:56,559
APN 0 4 9 0 2 0. 0 0 5 designated F R X.

2070
02:03:59,965 --> 02:04:01,466
That said this parcel was not listed in the staff

2071
02:04:01,466 --> 02:04:05,666
report. It's a part of the project.

2072
02:04:08,891 --> 02:04:09,908
The staff report does not identify which specific

2073
02:04:09,908 --> 02:04:13,645
parcels correspond to east zoning or general plan

2074
02:04:13,645 --> 02:04:15,297
designation, nor does it explain how.

2075
02:04:15,297 --> 02:04:17,199
This mixed designations were applied to the B a findings.

2076
02:04:17,199 --> 02:04:18,300
Findings the zoning map on page three.

2077
02:04:18,300 --> 02:04:23,700
Shows the project area outlined in a single color.

2078
02:04:26,410 --> 02:04:27,142
But because only map, typically label individual

2079
02:04:27,142 --> 02:04:30,963
APNs, it's difficult for the public to understand

2080
02:04:30,963 --> 02:04:33,565
partial specific zoning. Or see how frontage standards

2081
02:04:33,565 --> 02:04:38,365
were evaluated for each parcel. Because zoning dermines

2082
02:04:39,938 --> 02:04:40,873
development standards, frontage requirements.

2083
02:04:40,873 --> 02:04:43,675
And how BLE findings are applied.

2084
02:04:43,675 --> 02:04:44,760
Partial specific clarity is important for the public's

2085
02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:47,760
ability to follow the record.

2086
02:04:48,297 --> 02:04:49,364
Providing a brief parcel by parcel clarification, we

2087
02:04:49,364 --> 02:04:50,182
give the public a clear picture.

2088
02:04:50,182 --> 02:04:53,485
Of how the zoning designations relate to the B L.

2089
02:04:53,485 --> 02:04:57,472
BLE and how frontage requirements were evaluated.

2090
02:04:57,472 --> 02:04:58,574
This clarification would strengthen the record and

2091
02:04:58,574 --> 02:05:00,574
improve transparency.

2092
02:05:05,981 --> 02:05:09,510
Finally the staff report sites, C a a C a

2093
02:05:09,510 --> 02:05:11,510
exemption under section 1 50 61. .

2094
02:05:11,803 --> 02:05:13,872
While exemption may be ultimately appropriate.

2095
02:05:13,872 --> 02:05:15,457
It's application should be reviewed in the context of t

2096
02:05:15,457 --> 02:05:17,457
noticing record.

2097
02:05:21,446 --> 02:05:22,714
The administrative record and the nature of the

2098
02:05:22,714 --> 02:05:24,160
proposed boundary adjustments SQL requires

2099
02:05:24,160 --> 02:05:25,200
evaluation of existing conditions because

2100
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:27,200
administrative record.

2101
02:05:30,880 --> 02:05:31,590
Contains emissions, including the missing photo sheet in

2102
02:05:31,590 --> 02:05:33,659
the AP and discrepancy between the

2103
02:05:33,659 --> 02:05:35,410
public notice and the staff report,

2104
02:05:35,410 --> 02:05:36,445
the exemption would. Benefit from a clear,

2105
02:05:36,445 --> 02:05:37,679
complete record. Although the staging area on

2106
02:05:37,679 --> 02:05:39,679
a P N. 0 4 9 0 2 0.

2107
02:05:41,330 --> 02:05:44,633
0 0 2 is not part of the project.

2108
02:05:48,790 --> 02:05:50,108
It's president's reinforces the importance of having

2109
02:05:50,108 --> 02:05:51,610
complete and clearly documented

2110
02:05:51,610 --> 02:05:54,213
administrative record when applying a secret exemption.

2111
02:05:54,213 --> 02:05:55,664
A board review would help ensure the secret

2112
02:05:55,664 --> 02:05:57,332
determination is accurate and pro

2113
02:05:57,332 --> 02:05:59,332
properly supported.

2114
02:06:04,220 --> 02:06:05,230
In closing, I respectfully request that the board

2115
02:06:05,230 --> 02:06:06,241
review the zoning administrator's

2116
02:06:06,241 --> 02:06:09,978
decision to confirm the accuracy of the administrative

2117
02:06:09,978 --> 02:06:10,729
record. Evaluate the noticing and

2118
02:06:10,729 --> 02:06:12,564
procedural steps taken. And ensure that the zoning

2119
02:06:12,564 --> 02:06:14,666
regulations and secret provisions were

2120
02:06:14,666 --> 02:06:15,751
correctly interpreted and applied.

2121
02:06:15,751 --> 02:06:20,939
My goal is simply clarity. For the record for the public.

2122
02:06:20,939 --> 02:06:22,708
And for the decision before you, thank you for your

2123
02:06:22,708 --> 02:06:25,708
time and consideration. Thank you.

2124
02:06:27,262 --> 02:06:32,662
Is there a project? Proponent is that you Martin?

2125
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:38,974
Come on down. So you also have opportunity.

2126
02:06:38,974 --> 02:06:41,259
To okay. Share your good morning supervisors,

2127
02:06:41,259 --> 02:06:44,563
Martin wood, principal, SEO, planning, and engineering.

2128
02:06:44,563 --> 02:06:48,684
Just a little bit of background. Weo.

2129
02:06:48,684 --> 02:06:49,885
Multiple lot line adjustments and certificate of compliances

2130
02:06:49,885 --> 02:06:51,885
and multiple jurisdictions.

2131
02:06:53,939 --> 02:06:55,357
Jurisdictions each and every year, first I wanna say thank

2132
02:06:55,357 --> 02:06:57,590
you to staff. And we concur with.

2133
02:06:57,590 --> 02:07:00,712
There's summation of kind of how we got here.

2134
02:07:00,712 --> 02:07:02,514
Just a few other specifics that I think would be

2135
02:07:02,514 --> 02:07:05,250
helpful. I mean, the goal. Of our client, the landowner

2136
02:07:05,250 --> 02:07:08,850
he owns. Owns multiple thousands of

2137
02:07:09,710 --> 02:07:10,355
acres up there. I think he has 3,500 acres.

2138
02:07:10,355 --> 02:07:12,891
Between Nevada county and Placer county.

2139
02:07:12,891 --> 02:07:17,691
And multiple many, many legal parcels out there.

2140
02:07:17,879 --> 02:07:22,790
His goal on this was to create.

2141
02:07:23,568 --> 02:07:27,768
Two sizable parcels on Martis peak road.

2142
02:07:28,290 --> 02:07:29,358
That was his goal on this. And he's got many,

2143
02:07:29,358 --> 02:07:34,713
many legal parcels to do that. Two of the parcels in question

2144
02:07:34,713 --> 02:07:35,597
that were part of the three parcels being

2145
02:07:35,597 --> 02:07:37,733
adjusted for a boundary line adjustment.

2146
02:07:37,733 --> 02:07:42,354
Have undergone lot line adjustments in the near past.

2147
02:07:42,354 --> 02:07:45,424
Up at, in the north area there. The third parcel.

2148
02:07:45,424 --> 02:07:49,277
Is whahad the need for certificate of

2149
02:07:49,277 --> 02:07:53,477
compliances, cuz it had. Multiple legal parcel.

2150
02:07:56,785 --> 02:07:57,652
Status for how it was transferred in the

2151
02:07:57,652 --> 02:08:01,373
past historically. So we provided all those deeds.

2152
02:08:01,373 --> 02:08:03,542
Deeds and all that historical data to the county surveyor

2153
02:08:03,542 --> 02:08:05,627
that was reviewed by planning and the county surveyor.

2154
02:08:05,627 --> 02:08:07,763
And normally this is a process that would be.

2155
02:08:07,763 --> 02:08:11,963
Approved at staff level and you're done.

2156
02:08:16,605 --> 02:08:19,341
We had a handful of them that don't have road

2157
02:08:19,341 --> 02:08:21,259
frontage and that put 'em in conditional status. And that's

2158
02:08:21,259 --> 02:08:22,394
the only reason we actually. Had to go to AZA hearing and

2159
02:08:22,394 --> 02:08:23,280
would be noticed at all.

2160
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:25,197
This would normally all just be done at staff level.

2161
02:08:25,197 --> 02:08:28,583
Usually 90 days, 120 days, max. Start to finish recorded

2162
02:08:28,583 --> 02:08:33,271
and done. So, I guess I just wanna

2163
02:08:33,271 --> 02:08:37,359
express the hardship that our clients been undergoing as.

2164
02:08:37,359 --> 02:08:39,761
We're seven plus months into this. It was submitted in

2165
02:08:39,761 --> 02:08:40,662
February. We were supposed to go to Z

2166
02:08:40,662 --> 02:08:45,650
heren may. It then got moved to June. It

2167
02:08:45,650 --> 02:08:48,351
then got rescheduled for July 8th.

2168
02:08:48,351 --> 02:08:49,585
And then we got an appeal and then there was

2169
02:08:49,585 --> 02:08:51,904
multiple months following that. So it's the property. One of

2170
02:08:51,904 --> 02:08:54,306
the properties. Has been in escrow

2171
02:08:54,306 --> 02:08:56,306
since February.

2172
02:08:59,610 --> 02:09:00,620
Waiting to close on this particular property. And

2173
02:09:00,620 --> 02:09:01,647
again, it goes back to our client was

2174
02:09:01,647 --> 02:09:04,647
trying to. Restructure to create.

2175
02:09:08,237 --> 02:09:09,305
Configure two parcels and not create any additional

2176
02:09:09,305 --> 02:09:12,191
parcels out there. What he already had.

2177
02:09:12,191 --> 02:09:14,260
So I just want to express that. We're available to answer any

2178
02:09:14,260 --> 02:09:17,260
questions. As far as the.

2179
02:09:20,115 --> 02:09:21,567
The staging question. I think thiss an unfortunate thing

2180
02:09:21,567 --> 02:09:25,167
because this has taken so long.

2181
02:09:27,556 --> 02:09:29,358
The one property that has in escrow, they had ordered

2182
02:09:29,358 --> 02:09:30,976
a barn to go with their residents that they wanna

2183
02:09:30,976 --> 02:09:35,514
purchase the lot, put a residence in a barn.

2184
02:09:35,514 --> 02:09:37,533
And the barn showeup before they were able to

2185
02:09:37,533 --> 02:09:40,769
close escrow because this has been so delayed. So I

2186
02:09:40,769 --> 02:09:41,654
thk what. I've been told is that some of

2187
02:09:41,654 --> 02:09:42,821
the steel for the barn has been placed.

2188
02:09:42,821 --> 02:09:43,722
Placed on site with the permission of the

2189
02:09:43,722 --> 02:09:45,722
underlying landowner.

2190
02:09:48,611 --> 02:09:50,813
So with that, I'm available to answer any questions. I

2191
02:09:50,813 --> 02:09:52,131
think this is just kind of unfortunate how long it's

2192
02:09:52,131 --> 02:09:55,731
taken. staff level type thing, but

2193
02:09:56,552 --> 02:09:58,554
hopefully the appeal will be denied and we're available to

2194
02:09:58,554 --> 02:10:03,342
answer any questions. Questions. Thank you. Thank you.

2195
02:10:03,342 --> 02:10:06,195
Okay. So at this time, if the board has any

2196
02:10:06,195 --> 02:10:07,563
clarifying questions, questions for either our staff

2197
02:10:07,563 --> 02:10:11,763
for the appellant or for the proponent.

2198
02:10:15,421 --> 02:10:17,573
Now is your opportunity before we open public comment, just

2199
02:10:17,573 --> 02:10:19,608
to ask questions. So Hardy, if you have any questions.

2200
02:10:19,608 --> 02:10:21,994
Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for the presentation.

2201
02:10:21,994 --> 02:10:23,762
I am going to disclose that I've met and talked

2202
02:10:23,762 --> 02:10:26,282
to Martin wood regarding the project. Also met with the

2203
02:10:26,282 --> 02:10:28,784
owner. Of the large parcels, the

2204
02:10:28,784 --> 02:10:32,984
Martins described. Describe talk to Ms. Cor.

2205
02:10:34,807 --> 02:10:37,126
KTH Quinn know very well. Mount area preservation,

2206
02:10:37,126 --> 02:10:39,628
truck of donor land trusses are

2207
02:10:39,628 --> 02:10:40,462
my disclosures. Disclosures that I've

2208
02:10:40,462 --> 02:10:43,782
discussed previous to this meetin One question.

2209
02:10:43,782 --> 02:10:44,850
The permitted building just to clarify is placed on.

2210
02:10:44,850 --> 02:10:48,938
The current owner's property. On the subject parcel before

2211
02:10:48,938 --> 02:10:51,338
it's been recon conveyed.

2212
02:10:53,826 --> 02:10:55,828
ES your husband closed it's existing on the current owner's

2213
02:10:55,828 --> 02:10:58,547
property. That's correct. Okay. And

2214
02:10:58,547 --> 02:11:00,249
there's no, he doesn't need to permit nor.

2215
02:11:00,249 --> 02:11:03,502
Any sort of C or anything to place.

2216
02:11:03,502 --> 02:11:05,604
That there, as long as there's no ground disturbance or

2217
02:11:05,604 --> 02:11:07,604
things like that.

2218
02:11:13,780 --> 02:11:14,146
Other than that's correct supervisor Bullock. It can

2219
02:11:14,146 --> 02:11:17,466
remain there, but as long as there's no

2220
02:11:17,466 --> 02:11:18,601
construction, no grading or no actual ground disturbance

2221
02:11:18,601 --> 02:11:19,401
activities, then it can remain just.

2222
02:11:19,401 --> 02:11:23,601
Onsite. Okay. Perfect. What were the total

2223
02:11:24,890 --> 02:11:28,490
days between the zoning administrator hearing.

2224
02:11:33,566 --> 02:11:36,385
In the notification of the public, if somebody in the

2225
02:11:36,385 --> 02:11:37,920
public was going to receive notification in that

2226
02:11:37,920 --> 02:11:40,550
neighborhood, how many days prior to the zoning?

2227
02:11:40,550 --> 02:11:45,100
The VA hearing, would they have that in their hand?

2228
02:11:45,100 --> 02:11:47,129
So the, the public noticing. So it gets sent out

2229
02:11:47,129 --> 02:11:48,964
in a minimum of 10 days before we typically always

2230
02:11:48,964 --> 02:11:51,383
try to send it out a little bit. Prior to that, just to, you

2231
02:11:51,383 --> 02:11:52,318
ow, try to get there a little bit earlier,

2232
02:11:52,318 --> 02:11:54,553
but we do typically stick around at that 10 days.

2233
02:11:54,553 --> 02:11:57,540
Okay. And that's 500 feet from the furthest boundary of

2234
02:11:57,540 --> 02:11:59,341
the. Subject parcels, the

2235
02:11:59,341 --> 02:12:02,341
combination of any of those.

2236
02:12:07,516 --> 02:12:09,485
Parcels correct. It's within 500 feet of any of the

2237
02:12:09,485 --> 02:12:13,706
project parcel property lines, so, okay. Yeah. So the farthest

2238
02:12:13,706 --> 02:12:14,773
area possible to get the. Most amount. Got it. Yep.

2239
02:12:14,773 --> 02:12:17,793
Okay. Thank you. And then the notification

2240
02:12:17,793 --> 02:12:19,361
on the, it was put into the union, but I

2241
02:12:19,361 --> 02:12:21,196
wasn't clear was it placed into the Sierra sun?

2242
02:12:21,196 --> 02:12:24,796
Our local newspaper. The initial notice.

2243
02:12:29,238 --> 02:12:33,438
Was just in the union, the subsequent.

2244
02:12:35,828 --> 02:12:37,746
Notice for this particular hearing was in the Sierra sign

2245
02:12:37,746 --> 02:12:40,490
was in the Sierra sun. So, okay. An improvement for

2246
02:12:40,490 --> 02:12:43,649
us. Understood the APN that was

2247
02:12:45,704 --> 02:12:47,704
published originally.

2248
02:12:48,857 --> 02:12:50,526
I think just to totally note, this is a very

2249
02:12:50,526 --> 02:12:52,945
complex subject. And I think tracking all these details a

2250
02:12:52,945 --> 02:12:54,346
important for people to understand, but the,

2251
02:12:54,346 --> 02:12:55,714
the original. APN number it was

2252
02:12:55,714 --> 02:12:57,714
inaccurately described.

2253
02:12:59,968 --> 02:13:02,354
Referencing the project was a single APN. They reference a

2254
02:13:02,354 --> 02:13:03,322
parcel in Penn valley, California, not in, in

2255
02:13:03,322 --> 02:13:05,322
this neighborhood, but.

2256
02:13:05,891 --> 02:13:07,810
When you go to the hyperlink and you click on

2257
02:13:07,810 --> 02:13:10,813
it, the associated documents with this project were accurate.

2258
02:13:10,813 --> 02:13:12,998
That's correct supervisor, but associated project

2259
02:13:12,998 --> 02:13:14,998
documents were accurate.

2260
02:13:21,190 --> 02:13:25,678
Okay. So if somebody got a notification and put the

2261
02:13:25,678 --> 02:13:26,679
APN into Google or did some sort of APN search,

2262
02:13:26,679 --> 02:13:27,763
they would get something in Penn valley and not their.

2263
02:13:27,763 --> 02:13:28,964
Neighbor on Martis peak road. That's correct. That that

2264
02:13:28,964 --> 02:13:31,467
APN was. Was referenced in for a Penn

2265
02:13:31,467 --> 02:13:33,467
valley property, but.

2266
02:13:38,674 --> 02:13:39,775
Around the description that included the APN mentioned

2267
02:13:39,775 --> 02:13:43,262
that all parcels are located in

2268
02:13:43,262 --> 02:13:45,262
Truckee, approximately 8.1 north.

2269
02:13:45,664 --> 02:13:46,832
Miles Northeast of historic downtown Truckee and a

2270
02:13:46,832 --> 02:13:48,784
dictly adjacent to the Truckee river wildlife

2271
02:13:48,784 --> 02:13:51,653
area. Yeah. So there was some.

2272
02:13:51,653 --> 02:13:52,838
Descriptive woing about the physical location. Okay. Just

2273
02:13:52,838 --> 02:13:55,838
making sure we understand it.

2274
02:13:56,475 --> 02:13:57,393
And then the P the picks a photos that are

2275
02:13:57,393 --> 02:14:00,993
acquitted in our board packet, but.

2276
02:14:03,515 --> 02:14:04,850
We're not included in the record that you've

2277
02:14:04,850 --> 02:14:07,360
described for the Z hearing. Mm-hmm is

2278
02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:12,436
there a reason why those didn't make it in.

2279
02:14:13,859 --> 02:14:15,461
So the reason why those photos were not included in

2280
02:14:15,461 --> 02:14:18,981
the record is because of the fact that the staging

2281
02:14:18,981 --> 02:14:20,490
is technically allowed. And so, I mean, and so we

2282
02:14:20,490 --> 02:14:23,669
took the letter. We provided the letter, but

2283
02:14:23,669 --> 02:14:24,436
the photos themselves didn't get

2284
02:14:24,436 --> 02:14:25,537
translated over because of the fact that it was owned

2285
02:14:25,537 --> 02:14:26,672
by the, the property owner. And they can't have things

2286
02:14:26,672 --> 02:14:27,690
on there, but as long as they're not building and

2287
02:14:27,690 --> 02:14:31,890
stuff, so. That's the reasoning then. Yeah.

2288
02:14:32,511 --> 02:14:34,446
I think maybe disagree a little bit there, but okay.

2289
02:14:34,446 --> 02:14:39,246
That's all my questions. Questions. Do you have

2290
02:14:39,835 --> 02:14:41,835
any questions?

2291
02:14:42,421 --> 02:14:43,355
I'll wait, but I did. Can you just put the

2292
02:14:43,355 --> 02:14:46,625
picture of the. The project itself up there

2293
02:14:46,625 --> 02:14:50,346
again with the parcels that it really affected.

2294
02:14:50,346 --> 02:14:54,533
Just and point out the one project, the one.

2295
02:14:54,533 --> 02:14:56,301
Which parcel is the one that had the incorrect.

2296
02:14:56,301 --> 02:14:58,301
Number on it.

2297
02:15:04,910 --> 02:15:06,845
Well, so the, the incorrect number was, it was a

2298
02:15:06,845 --> 02:15:08,163
parcel that was over in Penn valley. So it's not

2299
02:15:08,163 --> 02:15:09,665
gonna represent no, but which one did it, would it

2300
02:15:09,665 --> 02:15:13,704
have correlated with here? She's asking for she's asking,

2301
02:15:13,704 --> 02:15:16,774
correct. One the correct one, the correct 1 0 2 0 0 0 2. So

2302
02:15:16,774 --> 02:15:19,774
the correct. APS would be 4 9 0 2 0.

2303
02:15:24,415 --> 02:15:26,415
0 0 3 0 4 9 0 2 0 0 0 4 0 4 9 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 4 9 0 2 0 0 1 4.

2304
02:15:32,656 --> 02:15:34,258
Is that, which one is it though? Which is it

2305
02:15:34,258 --> 02:15:35,993
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. That's how you have them. Yeah. Which,

2306
02:15:35,993 --> 02:15:37,978
which one is it? How you have them

2307
02:15:37,978 --> 02:15:39,480
numbered, which parcel. So you've got these numbered

2308
02:15:39,480 --> 02:15:40,748
on here. One through. 10 or one through nine,

2309
02:15:40,748 --> 02:15:42,433
which parcel. Was of these was the

2310
02:15:42,433 --> 02:15:44,433
wrong number.

2311
02:15:50,124 --> 02:15:53,177
Hard hard to say, because the parcel that was notified.

2312
02:15:53,177 --> 02:15:56,247
Was in Penn valley. And so. The APN was not included in

2313
02:15:56,247 --> 02:15:58,247
the notice.

2314
02:16:04,121 --> 02:16:05,155
For the certificate of compliance or the Lawline

2315
02:16:05,155 --> 02:16:08,742
adjustment noticing the, the, I think, just to

2316
02:16:08,742 --> 02:16:11,445
clarify if MH here. I'm H sure. Yeah, go ahead to,

2317
02:16:11,445 --> 02:16:13,845
to answer your question.

2318
02:16:14,865 --> 02:16:18,519
The parcels that were there in reference inside the staff

2319
02:16:18,519 --> 02:16:19,587
report. So if you hit the hyperlink in the notice,

2320
02:16:19,587 --> 02:16:20,955
right, it would have all the correct.

2321
02:16:20,955 --> 02:16:22,122
APNs. Right. And can you take this map as confusing,

2322
02:16:22,122 --> 02:16:26,922
but can you put the other map up?

2323
02:16:47,631 --> 02:16:49,160
Twand three, this is good to have the picture.

2324
02:16:49,160 --> 02:16:51,160
Okay. All right.

2325
02:16:55,206 --> 02:16:57,992
So at this time, I am going to open up

2326
02:16:57,992 --> 02:16:59,827
the public hearing. If there's anybody who would like to

2327
02:16:59,827 --> 02:17:01,228
speak on this issue now is your opportunity.

2328
02:17:01,228 --> 02:17:06,483
To come to the podium. Any members of the public.

2329
02:17:06,483 --> 02:17:10,571
Any phone calls? No callers chair, chair.

2330
02:17:10,571 --> 02:17:11,605
All right. Seeing no members of the

2331
02:17:11,605 --> 02:17:17,500
public wishing to speak, we will close the public.

2332
02:17:20,447 --> 02:17:22,449
Hearing. And at this point I would ask for a

2333
02:17:22,449 --> 02:17:23,000
brief. Summation byhe

2334
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:25,236
project proponent. So that would be you Martin.

2335
02:17:25,236 --> 02:17:28,836
If you want, it's your choice.

2336
02:17:30,191 --> 02:17:34,411
I'll keep it brief. I, I just wanna say that.

2337
02:17:34,411 --> 02:17:36,580
To the APN question. APNs, get confusing, cuz.

2338
02:17:36,580 --> 02:17:41,380
Theyonstantly get reassigned. This area is probably seen

2339
02:17:41,635 --> 02:17:45,550
APNs get reassigned. Multiple times for the three

2340
02:17:45,550 --> 02:17:47,524
parcels that are involved in this L LA.

2341
02:17:47,524 --> 02:17:51,724
Again, this would've been normally staff level.

2342
02:17:52,780 --> 02:17:54,798
The on the certificate of compliance was the only reason

2343
02:17:54,798 --> 02:17:58,998
this even had to go to Z.

2344
02:18:01,422 --> 02:18:03,407
Za. And with that, we just hope you will deny

2345
02:18:03,407 --> 02:18:05,976
the appeal so they can close escrow and, and move

2346
02:18:05,976 --> 02:18:09,797
forward. So thank you very much. Which

2347
02:18:09,797 --> 02:18:12,199
just real quick. Supervisor has a que, which, which one

2348
02:18:12,199 --> 02:18:13,517
of the, which one is the parcels is the one

2349
02:18:13,517 --> 02:18:16,860
that's in escrow. Three number three. Okay. Just

2350
02:18:16,860 --> 02:18:21,475
so that small one. Okay. Two, maybe in escrow as well.

2351
02:18:21,475 --> 02:18:22,543
It may have fallen out just cuz this has taken

2352
02:18:22,543 --> 02:18:26,230
so long. Okay. But immediately in February when they.

2353
02:18:26,230 --> 02:18:27,131
Put both properties up for sale. There was

2354
02:18:27,131 --> 02:18:31,331
immediate interest. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

2355
02:18:33,303 --> 02:18:35,572
All right. At this time, I would ask for summation

2356
02:18:35,572 --> 02:18:39,172
by the appellant. Now your opportunity.

2357
02:18:42,696 --> 02:18:45,282
like to offer one brief 'd clarification staff noted that

2358
02:18:45,282 --> 02:18:48,402
only three letters referenced in the

2359
02:18:48,402 --> 02:18:51,205
incorrect APN. APN and that's because most

2360
02:18:51,205 --> 02:18:53,590
residents learned about the hearing

2361
02:18:53,590 --> 02:18:55,826
through the Martis peak homeowners association.

2362
02:18:55,826 --> 02:18:56,860
Or one of the local Glen yard groups, not through

2363
02:18:56,860 --> 02:18:58,950
the county's notice. And it's, it's not the

2364
02:18:58,950 --> 02:19:01,950
responsibility to correct county noticing.

2365
02:19:01,849 --> 02:19:03,901
And my appeal is simply about ensuring the record itself

2366
02:19:03,901 --> 02:19:08,389
is clear. I would like to reiterate that

2367
02:19:08,389 --> 02:19:10,900
my appeal isn't asking the board to change the

2368
02:19:10,900 --> 02:19:14,780
project approval. My focus is simply ensuring

2369
02:19:14,780 --> 02:19:17,948
that the record supporting the zoning administrator's decision.

2370
02:19:17,948 --> 02:19:19,667
Is complete and accurate. And understandable to

2371
02:19:19,667 --> 02:19:21,667
the public.

2372
02:19:25,589 --> 02:19:26,757
Including noticing clarity, parcel identification and how

2373
02:19:26,757 --> 02:19:29,757
public comment materials are handled.

2374
02:19:29,943 --> 02:19:31,780
Handled, whatever procedural steps the board believes is

2375
02:19:31,780 --> 02:19:32,246
are appropriate. My goal is simply clarity.

2376
02:19:32,246 --> 02:19:34,665
In the record. Thank you. I have nothing further.

2377
02:19:34,665 --> 02:19:36,665
Thank you.

2378
02:19:40,971 --> 02:19:42,339
So now there is an opportunity. If there's

2379
02:19:42,339 --> 02:19:44,124
anybody from the public who would like to

2380
02:19:44,124 --> 02:19:45,859
have a two minute rebuttal.

2381
02:19:45,859 --> 02:19:47,859
Okay.

2382
02:19:52,883 --> 02:19:55,636
Seeing no public, we will ask now for if staff

2383
02:19:55,636 --> 02:19:58,555
has a summation, before we start with board deliberation.

2384
02:19:58,555 --> 02:20:00,240
Just real quick chair and supervisors. We, we

2385
02:20:00,240 --> 02:20:02,159
certainly regret the noticing error.

2386
02:20:02,159 --> 02:20:07,559
With the initial out notice that that went out.

2387
02:20:10,234 --> 02:20:12,903
We did have accurate records in the staff report in

2388
02:20:12,903 --> 02:20:14,880
the links. It was acknowledged at the zoning

2389
02:20:14,880 --> 02:20:16,957
administrator hearing. Regarding the, the air, but we

2390
02:20:16,957 --> 02:20:20,557
felt that in consultation with counsel.

2391
02:20:21,245 --> 02:20:22,713
That there was sufficient other information, not only

2392
02:20:22,713 --> 02:20:24,732
in the staff report.

2393
02:20:24,732 --> 02:20:28,685
But in the, the links in the notice.

2394
02:20:28,685 --> 02:20:30,587
That it did not cause any type of prejudice on

2395
02:20:30,587 --> 02:20:32,587
the proceedings.

2396
02:20:35,709 --> 02:20:36,944
Proceedings. And then for the record, I believe the pictures

2397
02:20:36,944 --> 02:20:42,944
of the area of the material that was being stored.

2398
02:20:43,917 --> 02:20:45,252
Stored were presented and shown at the zoning

2399
02:20:45,252 --> 02:20:46,954
administrator hearing. So I did see those pictures

2400
02:20:46,954 --> 02:20:48,488
even if they were not printed out, but they were

2401
02:20:48,488 --> 02:20:51,141
shown as. Through the, through the

2402
02:20:51,141 --> 02:20:52,109
appellant, I believe at that time.

2403
02:20:52,109 --> 02:20:54,561
Happy to answer any further questions.

2404
02:20:54,561 --> 02:21:00,561
Questions. Okay. Thank you. All right. So we've heard from.

2405
02:21:02,686 --> 02:21:05,906
Staff the applicant or the appellant and the proponent. So

2406
02:21:05,906 --> 02:21:07,274
now is our opportunity as the board to discuss this.

2407
02:21:07,274 --> 02:21:08,859
And I think Hardy, this is your district. So I'm.

2408
02:21:08,859 --> 02:21:09,927
I'm gonna ask you to start us off.

2409
02:21:09,927 --> 02:21:12,327
Yeah, thank thank you.

2410
02:21:15,682 --> 02:21:17,317
There's a lot of material here first. Thanks to staff

2411
02:21:17,317 --> 02:21:19,970
for compiling it all and making it concise. If you

2412
02:21:19,970 --> 02:21:21,104
read through the entire packet, which is a lot, you'll

2413
02:21:21,104 --> 02:21:22,390
definitely get it. It felt like the point. It

2414
02:21:22,390 --> 02:21:25,292
felt like planning commission days again.

2415
02:21:25,292 --> 02:21:27,961
I do want to acknowledge the appellant's request, which is,

2416
02:21:27,961 --> 02:21:31,197
which is pretty basic. And in summary, just to

2417
02:21:31,197 --> 02:21:32,732
correct the administrative record, right?

2418
02:21:32,732 --> 02:21:34,150
Like make corrections to the record, post it.

2419
02:21:34,150 --> 02:21:35,518
So that we can understand the correct APNs. And so

2420
02:21:35,518 --> 02:21:39,118
the public has. Transparency and visibility,

2421
02:21:39,906 --> 02:21:42,608
not only to the process, but to historical record related to

2422
02:21:42,608 --> 02:21:46,808
the parcels. Parcels the big picture in

2423
02:21:48,640 --> 02:21:53,464
that neighborhood. I, I live very close to there.

2424
02:21:54,136 --> 02:21:56,720
You know, canyon Springs was a huge community lift to

2425
02:21:56,720 --> 02:21:57,306
preserve that over many years. Woodell ranch. The same thing,

2426
02:21:57,306 --> 02:21:58,140
I think. Many people in the room worked

2427
02:21:58,140 --> 02:22:01,140
hard on both of those.

2428
02:22:02,610 --> 02:22:03,229
And then you have the Martis land exchange behind it,

2429
02:22:03,229 --> 02:22:04,714
which is a huge land exchange still under kind of

2430
02:22:04,714 --> 02:22:07,884
construction and creation. And then the recent change in

2431
02:22:07,884 --> 02:22:09,569
property from the Railey teal ownership to the new

2432
02:22:09,569 --> 02:22:12,872
new owners. Has just created a lot of

2433
02:22:12,872 --> 02:22:14,257
community concern and a lot of community oversight.

2434
02:22:14,257 --> 02:22:15,491
And basically people look at that

2435
02:22:15,491 --> 02:22:17,491
area.

2436
02:22:20,613 --> 02:22:22,381
Is seeing this private in holding in between a lot

2437
02:22:22,381 --> 02:22:24,667
of public land and public land access points, particularly in

2438
02:22:24,667 --> 02:22:26,769
the Turkey river area in Martis peak. And so I

2439
02:22:26,769 --> 02:22:28,938
think when we. Talk about the process and

2440
02:22:28,938 --> 02:22:31,938
procedure associated with parcel changes,

2441
02:22:32,191 --> 02:22:35,191
outline adjustment. It's recon conveyance.

2442
02:22:36,212 --> 02:22:38,681
Notices in your land patents and some of those things

2443
02:22:38,681 --> 02:22:41,701
the average person living g to next door to it. It's, it's a

2444
02:22:41,701 --> 02:22:43,769
heightened level. Of responsibility. I, I

2445
02:22:43,769 --> 02:22:44,921
believe it's a heightened level of

2446
02:22:44,921 --> 02:22:46,989
responsibility that we need to take to make sure that

2447
02:22:46,989 --> 02:22:49,389
the community understands that.

2448
02:22:51,711 --> 02:22:54,460
While I do commend staff for doing a great job,

2449
02:22:54,460 --> 02:22:55,498
bringing all ts together. I think errors were made in

2450
02:22:55,498 --> 02:22:59,352
the APN and that's fine. I. Completely agree with Martin.

2451
02:22:59,352 --> 02:23:01,921
It's highly unlikely that APNs are

2452
02:23:01,921 --> 02:23:03,356
gonna be perfect all the time. There's a number of

2453
02:23:03,356 --> 02:23:04,373
'em and they change all the time.

2454
02:23:04,373 --> 02:23:05,408
But I think in this particular circumstance, that's

2455
02:23:05,408 --> 02:23:08,408
important because people would've understood.

2456
02:23:14,660 --> 02:23:17,953
That it's close to tir house and they could offer

2457
02:23:17,953 --> 02:23:18,988
comments or go to the zoning administrator, hearing

2458
02:23:18,988 --> 02:23:19,772
the other piece that concerns me, I

2459
02:23:19,772 --> 02:23:21,741
think, and we can change these and we can.

2460
02:23:21,741 --> 02:23:23,420
Work together to improve our process, but the time that

2461
02:23:23,420 --> 02:23:24,210
it takes to get a piece of mail to somebody

2462
02:23:24,210 --> 02:23:25,227
near that neighborhood and then show up at a za

2463
02:23:25,227 --> 02:23:29,427
hearing down. Here I is. That's not

2464
02:23:29,582 --> 02:23:31,550
appropriate. It, it's not reasonable.

2465
02:23:31,550 --> 02:23:33,719
It doesn't seem like that's gonna work for our community.

2466
02:23:33,719 --> 02:23:35,805
And particularly if the notifi. Notification is in a west

2467
02:23:35,805 --> 02:23:38,274
county newsprint. The union. And then, you know,

2468
02:23:38,274 --> 02:23:40,860
to get it into the Sierra sun or something where

2469
02:23:40,860 --> 02:23:42,294
it's closer to the people who live there.

2470
02:23:42,294 --> 02:23:45,810
I think the appellant is completely.

2471
02:23:45,810 --> 02:23:46,882
Fair and well, within your rights to pull up the

2472
02:23:46,882 --> 02:23:47,883
process. Associated with parcels next

2473
02:23:47,883 --> 02:23:52,338
to your place. The piece about the metal

2474
02:23:52,338 --> 02:23:56,538
building is interesting because. It, it definitely

2475
02:23:59,528 --> 02:24:00,713
heightens interest and concern. When the main road

2476
02:24:00,713 --> 02:24:02,214
goes past the area where the metal

2477
02:24:02,214 --> 02:24:04,614
building has been staged.

2478
02:24:10,220 --> 02:24:11,624
Staged. And I talked to the owner of the property

2479
02:24:11,624 --> 02:24:14,293
and indeed that is a, is a right, but it,

2480
02:24:14,293 --> 02:24:15,144
it may be a kind of a complexity in the

2481
02:24:15,144 --> 02:24:20,660
situation to stage that. There during the lot wind

2482
02:24:20,660 --> 02:24:21,300
adjustment and then expect the public to understand the whole

2483
02:24:21,300 --> 02:24:24,270
process behind it. I don't think that usually occurs.

2484
02:24:24,270 --> 02:24:25,421
Occurs. And I will just make one quick note on

2485
02:24:25,421 --> 02:24:27,890
behalf of the owner of the parcel is that there's

2486
02:24:27,890 --> 02:24:29,325
a huge public green space on one side and public

2487
02:24:29,325 --> 02:24:33,646
green space on the other And a private property in the

2488
02:24:33,646 --> 02:24:34,797
middle. And so private property owners have the right

2489
02:24:34,797 --> 02:24:36,599
to control their private property.

2490
02:24:36,599 --> 02:24:38,167
And I, I just want to publicly say that I

2491
02:24:38,167 --> 02:24:39,235
respect. And acknowledge that in that

2492
02:24:39,235 --> 02:24:41,721
particular area, there's a lot of sensitivity to the future

2493
02:24:41,721 --> 02:24:43,890
of development. I've talked a lot, but I just

2494
02:24:43,890 --> 02:24:46,689
wanna make one more quick point.

2495
02:24:50,262 --> 02:24:52,198
If that area was to be developed, there is a

2496
02:24:52,198 --> 02:24:53,265
process, right? So there's another process that would

2497
02:24:53,265 --> 02:24:55,251
happen. It could be ministerial. It could

2498
02:24:55,251 --> 02:24:57,720
go to the planning commission. It could go get appealed to

2499
02:24:57,720 --> 02:24:58,854
the board of supervisors. Supervisors and a lot of

2500
02:24:58,854 --> 02:24:59,722
noticing and other things would happen.

2501
02:24:59,722 --> 02:25:02,908
The 500 and 82 acres and then the 33 and

2502
02:25:02,908 --> 02:25:07,108
the 39 acres. Those are not currently being

2503
02:25:07,563 --> 02:25:10,716
subdivided. There's no plans to put.

2504
02:25:10,716 --> 02:25:12,518
And the owner has assured me there's no current plans

2505
02:25:12,518 --> 02:25:15,204
to put. Subdivisions or changes or

2506
02:25:15,204 --> 02:25:18,204
anything in there right now.

2507
02:25:22,161 --> 02:25:24,196
That's not to say that some future owner could not

2508
02:25:24,196 --> 02:25:26,215
buy the parcel. It could be recon conveyed and completely

2509
02:25:26,215 --> 02:25:30,803
split up and sold off. That's everybody's reality all

2510
02:25:30,803 --> 02:25:32,400
the time happens everywhere. So I

2511
02:25:32,400 --> 02:25:33,305
just wanted to make everybody understand that there would be

2512
02:25:33,305 --> 02:25:35,910
a future process and that's not included some of the

2513
02:25:35,910 --> 02:25:37,293
public. The reason I say that is some

2514
02:25:37,293 --> 02:25:38,600
of the public comments referenced

2515
02:25:38,600 --> 02:25:39,895
subdivisions. And this is not what we're talking

2516
02:25:39,895 --> 02:25:41,747
about today. So just to be fair. I think just from

2517
02:25:41,747 --> 02:25:43,150
my perspective. This could be cleared up just

2518
02:25:43,150 --> 02:25:46,168
making clerical. Or administrative changes to

2519
02:25:46,168 --> 02:25:50,368
the permanent record. And republishing those however,

2520
02:25:51,824 --> 02:25:52,958
you see fit. And then in the future, I would

2521
02:25:52,958 --> 02:25:57,158
just ask is one board member that.

2522
02:25:59,114 --> 02:26:00,266
We do some work around notification and how

2523
02:26:00,266 --> 02:26:03,200
that's handled. I don't believe that

2524
02:26:03,200 --> 02:26:06,121
notification for rural areas. Areas it present is, is being

2525
02:26:06,121 --> 02:26:08,824
handled properly. This is the third time in my district

2526
02:26:08,824 --> 02:26:10,176
that I've seen. Issues related to

2527
02:26:10,176 --> 02:26:11,477
notification. I think we could, we can

2528
02:26:11,477 --> 02:26:12,778
change it and work together to make it better.

2529
02:26:12,778 --> 02:26:18,167
That's all I have for now. Heidi, any comments?

2530
02:26:18,167 --> 02:26:20,653
Comments. Yeah, this is, you know,

2531
02:26:20,653 --> 02:26:25,453
defer to Hardy. . On the nuances of this.

2532
02:26:29,780 --> 02:26:33,278
Situation. It sound, I just wanna clarify.

2533
02:26:34,400 --> 02:26:36,418
I mean, thank you Martin, for giving the conte of

2534
02:26:36,418 --> 02:26:39,121
this process, which is really how we should be starting.

2535
02:26:39,121 --> 02:26:40,739
So we understand what this is. About it is complicated. And

2536
02:26:40,739 --> 02:26:41,874
if it's not in our district, it's even

2537
02:26:41,874 --> 02:26:46,362
more complicated. What I'm hearing is that the

2538
02:26:46,362 --> 02:26:48,831
objection here is not to the, what happened. What's

2539
02:26:48,831 --> 02:26:50,649
gonna happen. It's to the it's to the

2540
02:26:50,649 --> 02:26:55,449
publication of the wrong. APN and the process.

2541
02:26:57,673 --> 02:27:00,759
And that was the basis of the appeal. Is that

2542
02:27:00,759 --> 02:27:03,762
am, am I correct in that? Procedural issue,

2543
02:27:03,762 --> 02:27:05,762
procedural clarity.

2544
02:27:09,840 --> 02:27:10,219
Okay, so overall, overall mm-hmm yeah, I

2545
02:27:10,219 --> 02:27:11,700
understand, again, deferring to Hardy

2546
02:27:11,700 --> 02:27:14,700
understanding that accuracy is important.

2547
02:27:16,992 --> 02:27:18,994
I really just, this is not the best use of

2548
02:27:18,994 --> 02:27:21,146
the board time to have to deal with this. I

2549
02:27:21,146 --> 02:27:22,681
I'd prefer that this would be dealt with the staff

2550
02:27:22,681 --> 02:27:23,949
level. I think. We need to look at that. This

2551
02:27:23,949 --> 02:27:25,701
is really. You know, the thingse have

2552
02:27:25,701 --> 02:27:27,536
to deal with up here.

2553
02:27:27,536 --> 02:27:32,336
This should, this shouldn't have come to us.

2554
02:27:34,260 --> 02:27:35,600
So I I'm just procedural process issues. Certainly

2555
02:27:35,600 --> 02:27:36,645
we can make those corrections and

2556
02:27:36,645 --> 02:27:38,514
we should. But I don't know why this came

2557
02:27:38,514 --> 02:27:42,168
to us. So I just ask staff to look at.

2558
02:27:42,168 --> 02:27:44,168
What happened?

2559
02:27:51,143 --> 02:27:52,411
Actually, I don't think I have any comments I'm getting

2560
02:27:52,411 --> 02:27:54,513
to gist of it. I, yeah, there was a mistake

2561
02:27:54,513 --> 02:27:56,732
I get that probably needs to be. Clarified in the paperwork,

2562
02:27:56,732 --> 02:27:58,304
but I, then the other part of me doesn't wanna see this

2563
02:27:58,304 --> 02:28:00,656
held up any longer. The process, it's not fair to

2564
02:28:00,656 --> 02:28:05,456
the landowner or the. The buyer. So I'm

2565
02:28:08,747 --> 02:28:10,182
I'm very interesting when we do things, I know that

2566
02:28:10,182 --> 02:28:11,167
we can always do better. That's what we do here.

2567
02:28:11,167 --> 02:28:12,835
Right. We make corrections and we try to.

2568
02:28:12,835 --> 02:28:14,236
Find better processes. And I, I think that we can.

2569
02:28:14,236 --> 02:28:16,636
Do that from here.

2570
02:28:22,811 --> 02:28:24,813
Yeah, I appreciate all the info. And I agree with

2571
02:28:24,813 --> 02:28:26,699
everything Hardy said, I've got a question. I don't know

2572
02:28:26,699 --> 02:28:31,787
if it'd be direct. Directed to the appellant or

2573
02:28:31,787 --> 02:28:34,390
to you. And I, it kind of speaks to what Hardy

2574
02:28:34,390 --> 02:28:36,475
mentioned, because if we were to all agree that

2575
02:28:36,475 --> 02:28:37,443
the record. Needs to be

2576
02:28:37,443 --> 02:28:39,845
corrected because of the mistakes.

2577
02:28:39,845 --> 02:28:44,450
Mistakes. I I'm just confused. Are we.

2578
02:28:44,300 --> 02:28:48,454
Asking, or I, I guess is appellant asking.

2579
02:28:48,454 --> 02:28:52,675
To uphold the appeal. And then go through the re

2580
02:28:52,675 --> 02:28:54,176
noticing and over, or is this something.

2581
02:28:54,176 --> 02:28:55,440
When you mentioned the correction of the

2582
02:28:55,440 --> 02:28:57,440
historical record.

2583
02:29:02,151 --> 02:29:04,420
That can be done, I guess now. And we move

2584
02:29:04,420 --> 02:29:06,638
on from the, I guess the property owners and the

2585
02:29:06,638 --> 02:29:08,207
procedural standpoint. So my question is.

2586
02:29:08,207 --> 02:29:09,341
Can we do both, I guess. The record being corrected,

2587
02:29:09,341 --> 02:29:14,741
but also move forward today. In my case. Yeah.

2588
02:29:15,130 --> 02:29:18,730
Supervisor Tucker. From staff's perspective. All

2589
02:29:20,190 --> 02:29:24,219
of this is part of the record.

2590
02:29:25,641 --> 02:29:26,759
All the information provided at the zoning administrator,

2591
02:29:26,759 --> 02:29:29,610
hearing the, the clarification at

2592
02:29:29,610 --> 02:29:31,610
that hearing.

2593
02:29:33,949 --> 02:29:35,184
The appeal, the notification of this, hearing the

2594
02:29:35,184 --> 02:29:38,237
discussion at this hearing, the preparation

2595
02:29:38,237 --> 02:29:41,957
of the staff report that went into.

2596
02:29:41,957 --> 02:29:45,361
Great detail about the APNs. The, the process that occurred

2597
02:29:45,361 --> 02:29:49,515
that got here are all part o the record.

2598
02:29:49,515 --> 02:29:54,636
So this in my view is a correction of the.

2599
02:29:54,636 --> 02:29:56,288
Of the record we've made it very publicly clear.

2600
02:29:56,288 --> 02:29:58,357
About the process, what the project was, where the error

2601
02:29:58,357 --> 02:30:00,893
occurred. And corrected that error

2602
02:30:00,893 --> 02:30:01,777
through this. Additional noticing in this

2603
02:30:01,777 --> 02:30:05,377
additional hearing. In my view that

2604
02:30:08,133 --> 02:30:11,387
the board can take action, how you see fit, obviously,

2605
02:30:11,387 --> 02:30:14,857
but no further. Hearings or approvals would be

2606
02:30:14,857 --> 02:30:17,857
required beyond your final action

2607
02:30:18,510 --> 02:30:21,113
today. And basically I'm just

2608
02:30:21,113 --> 02:30:25,313
looking r. An accurate, complete and clear.

2609
02:30:25,334 --> 02:30:27,334
Record.

2610
02:30:29,621 --> 02:30:30,522
That would support the support, the zoning

2611
02:30:30,522 --> 02:30:32,522
administrator's decision.

2612
02:30:35,277 --> 02:30:40,770
Can I, yeah, go ahead. And then I'll.

2613
02:30:43,719 --> 02:30:47,106
Yeah. The reason it came to an appeal because the

2614
02:30:47,106 --> 02:30:48,674
board is the body that handles appeals for the Z.

2615
02:30:48,674 --> 02:30:50,275
Right. I'm just answer. Answering the technical

2616
02:30:50,275 --> 02:30:51,310
question, but I think they can be

2617
02:30:51,310 --> 02:30:55,230
soed. I, I think my, my thought.

2618
02:30:55,230 --> 02:30:57,649
Is on the outset is to deny, to deny the

2619
02:30:57,649 --> 02:31:01,186
appeal with the corrections to the record.

2620
02:31:01,186 --> 02:31:02,171
And any other supporting information I'm happy to

2621
02:31:02,171 --> 02:31:03,572
work with the appellant or staff can

2622
02:31:03,572 --> 02:31:05,400
work with the appellant to make sure that the.

2623
02:31:05,400 --> 02:31:07,590
Corrections to the record are substantiated in a way.

2624
02:31:07,590 --> 02:31:10,659
That you feel is most appropriate.

2625
02:31:10,896 --> 02:31:13,820
Totally. Cool. And then in adtion to that, oh, wow.

2626
02:31:13,820 --> 02:31:15,820
The proponent

2627
02:31:20,873 --> 02:31:25,294
to move forward with the lot line adjustments, close the

2628
02:31:25,294 --> 02:31:27,312
steel out and move on. I would say that from my

2629
02:31:27,312 --> 02:31:31,533
perspective, I think we need to look closely at the

2630
02:31:31,533 --> 02:31:32,434
y that we notice. Projects like this other

2631
02:31:32,434 --> 02:31:34,834
projects, big or small.

2632
02:31:36,538 --> 02:31:39,291
Areas on the fringe outside. And I'm not putting up

2633
02:31:39,291 --> 02:31:40,492
my hand to say east county. I'm just saying we

2634
02:31:40,492 --> 02:31:41,460
have, we have some of them way over there. On

2635
02:31:41,460 --> 02:31:42,244
the ea side, we have some of them.

2636
02:31:42,244 --> 02:31:43,312
'em way over in south county, way over in district

2637
02:31:43,312 --> 02:31:45,147
four. And start looking at, and I'm

2638
02:31:45,147 --> 02:31:50,335
just gonna throw the word sandwich board out there. .

2639
02:31:50,335 --> 02:31:51,370
Because we get so much traction from sandwich

2640
02:31:51,370 --> 02:31:52,788
boards, all of a sudden, everybody calls

2641
02:31:52,788 --> 02:31:53,856
you and it's like, I saw your sandwich board. Now I

2642
02:31:53,856 --> 02:31:54,690
wanna come to that meeting.

2643
02:31:54,690 --> 02:31:56,608
But it's just an example of a, an alternative method

2644
02:31:56,608 --> 02:31:59,311
to reach. People that I don't think

2645
02:31:59,311 --> 02:32:00,812
we're getting to, because from my perspective, there's

2646
02:32:00,812 --> 02:32:04,320
the letter. And then there's the spirit of

2647
02:32:04,320 --> 02:32:05,200
the law. And I, I want to meet the spirit of

2648
02:32:05,200 --> 02:32:06,101
the law. So the community understands what

2649
02:32:06,101 --> 02:32:09,154
we're doing. And the letter of the law is

2650
02:32:09,154 --> 02:32:14,554
certainly what is included in your daily job. So.

2651
02:32:16,695 --> 02:32:17,629
Respect both of 'em, but I'd like to get to

2652
02:32:17,629 --> 02:32:18,664
the next step and have the spirit of the law.

2653
02:32:18,664 --> 02:32:21,200
So I would propose, or I will move chair if

2654
02:32:21,200 --> 02:32:24,253
you want to entertain a tion. Go ahead. Yeah. Gimme one.

2655
02:32:24,253 --> 02:32:28,774
Just, I just wanna say that I believe that.

2656
02:32:28,774 --> 02:32:31,727
The record has been corrected adequately to, for the public

2657
02:32:31,727 --> 02:32:34,463
to know. I, you know, I don't disagree

2658
02:32:34,463 --> 02:32:36,463
on the noticing.

2659
02:32:41,186 --> 02:32:42,471
Issue. And I think it's something that we can talk

2660
02:32:42,471 --> 02:32:45,240
about maybe as a board workshop item, because this has

2661
02:32:45,240 --> 02:32:49,928
also come up in my district. And I always look at it as

2662
02:32:49,928 --> 02:32:51,847
it's our responsibility as supervisors to read the

2663
02:32:51,847 --> 02:32:54,449
memos that Brian sends to us about the projects that are

2664
02:32:54,449 --> 02:32:58,537
coming forward. And if we feel like there's

2665
02:32:58,537 --> 02:32:59,738
gonna be issues in our district to get ahead of

2666
02:32:59,738 --> 02:33:01,540
them. So I think there can be a process, maybe

2667
02:33:01,540 --> 02:33:04,540
more formalized that we use.

2668
02:33:05,794 --> 02:33:09,114
And potentially could be a board workshop topic.

2669
02:33:09,114 --> 02:33:10,682
So we'll definitely make note of that. Yeah. Bring it

2670
02:33:10,682 --> 02:33:12,668
to the board workshop. I would also recommend for the

2671
02:33:12,668 --> 02:33:16,738
board to agree on a board order. To enhance notification

2672
02:33:16,738 --> 02:33:18,423
requements. And then we could bring that

2673
02:33:18,423 --> 02:33:19,491
back to the board. Yeah. And it, and it's not

2674
02:33:19,491 --> 02:33:21,491
it's it's.

2675
02:33:24,120 --> 02:33:25,614
It's three, you know, there's more than one thing going

2676
02:33:25,614 --> 02:33:27,633
on here. It's the, it's how it's the area that

2677
02:33:27,633 --> 02:33:30,350
we notice, you know, is 500 feet adequate. It's the

2678
02:33:30,350 --> 02:33:33,350
timing. Of getting the notifications.

2679
02:33:33,121 --> 02:33:36,240
The world has changed. Mail is very slow. Now we can't really

2680
02:33:36,240 --> 02:33:38,677
always count on the fact that they're going to,

2681
02:33:38,677 --> 02:33:41,446
you know, get so. Something if we, if we mail

2682
02:33:41,446 --> 02:33:43,980
it, according to what the law is, it's not always

2683
02:33:43,980 --> 02:33:45,670
gonna get there in time. So I think we just need

2684
02:33:45,670 --> 02:33:46,134
to look at our policies on it and

2685
02:33:46,134 --> 02:33:47,452
update it. But I do believe that you have

2686
02:33:47,452 --> 02:33:52,252
made your case for clarification of the record.

2687
02:33:53,976 --> 02:33:55,100
And I think the thing for me that's most confusing

2688
02:33:55,100 --> 02:33:55,978
is that I don't look at this as a project.

2689
02:33:55,978 --> 02:33:57,196
A project is where you're coming in and you're gonna

2690
02:33:57,196 --> 02:33:59,164
be building something you're gonna be doing, you know,

2691
02:33:59,164 --> 02:34:01,633
something lot line adjustments are.

2692
02:34:01,633 --> 02:34:03,352
Administrative clean, usually cleaning up properties. And so

2693
02:34:03,352 --> 02:34:05,352
I think that.

2694
02:34:10,800 --> 02:34:11,210
The neighborhood will certainly have many

2695
02:34:11,210 --> 02:34:13,829
opportunities to discuss this. The, the what's gonna happen

2696
02:34:13,829 --> 02:34:16,431
there through whatever is gonna come forward.

2697
02:34:16,431 --> 02:34:17,916
And if someone's projecting, you know, if someone's.

2698
02:34:17,916 --> 02:34:19,510
Someone's going to be looking at a large project. They

2699
02:34:19,510 --> 02:34:23,851
will be required to do all the environmental.

2700
02:34:26,200 --> 02:34:28,439
Review S Q a you know, all the things that

2701
02:34:28,439 --> 02:34:30,742
the state will, that that are by law are required

2702
02:34:30,742 --> 02:34:34,950
plus above and beyond what the county might. You.

2703
02:34:34,950 --> 02:34:35,463
Know, ask them for, so I think we're covered there.

2704
02:34:35,463 --> 02:34:36,998
So I think with that, if you wanna make a

2705
02:34:36,998 --> 02:34:39,417
motion, Hardy, I thi we're ready unless anybody else has

2706
02:34:39,417 --> 02:34:42,200
any other comments? I. Just wanna make correct the

2707
02:34:42,200 --> 02:34:43,871
record. Yeah. just wanna correct the record. I

2708
02:34:43,871 --> 02:34:46,374
understand why technically this came to

2709
02:34:46,374 --> 02:34:47,208
the board. But since we're spending all

2710
02:34:47,208 --> 02:34:49,270
this time on an administrative process,

2711
02:34:49,270 --> 02:34:50,762
I'm talking about a process. That's something that

2712
02:34:50,762 --> 02:34:54,150
needed correction. Hopefully could have just been

2713
02:34:54,150 --> 02:34:55,416
done without the need for a P and appeal.

2714
02:34:55,416 --> 02:34:59,160
And I don't love having to.

2715
02:35:00,710 --> 02:35:01,406
Delay projects, months and months, and using an

2716
02:35:01,406 --> 02:35:03,358
appeal process for something that's simple.

2717
02:35:03,358 --> 02:35:04,692
So my hope is that there's a simpler way. We

2718
02:35:04,692 --> 02:35:08,292
can do this in the future.

2719
02:35:12,567 --> 02:35:14,669
Okay. And chair, that would be a code to change.

2720
02:35:14,669 --> 02:35:17,380
And so if that's something that the board wants staff

2721
02:35:17,380 --> 02:35:20,558
to come back and work with counsel.

2722
02:35:20,558 --> 02:35:22,744
And recommend to recommend we could do that as well.

2723
02:35:22,744 --> 02:35:23,644
So I would just, I'd be open to a code

2724
02:35:23,644 --> 02:35:25,680
change to make that easier. Okay. So is there consensus

2725
02:35:25,680 --> 02:35:27,480
on the board for. A board order. I think that,

2726
02:35:27,480 --> 02:35:29,267
yeah, cuz we are. We're getting a lot of appeals

2727
02:35:29,267 --> 02:35:30,902
right now. I mean, it seems like.

2728
02:35:30,902 --> 02:35:33,302
There's just lots of

2729
02:35:39,277 --> 02:35:42,130
concern in the community with the work that's going on.

2730
02:35:42,130 --> 02:35:43,865
And so I agree it's thiss, you know, this

2731
02:35:43,865 --> 02:35:45,266
is gonna continue. We need to look at our policies.

2732
02:35:45,266 --> 02:35:46,467
So for the record, we'll come back to the board

2733
02:35:46,467 --> 02:35:48,860
with enhanced notification. As well as recommendations to.

2734
02:35:48,860 --> 02:35:50,688
Amend our code. Again, and I just wanna thank

2735
02:35:50,688 --> 02:35:53,880
Brian and the staff.

2736
02:35:58,830 --> 02:36:01,632
My frustration is not with the good work and incredibly

2737
02:36:01,632 --> 02:36:03,651
complicated work that you've had to do. And I wanna

2738
02:36:03,651 --> 02:36:05,420
agree and commend the memos. We've.

2739
02:36:05,420 --> 02:36:07,638
Been getting, helping us anticipate what's coming.

2740
02:36:07,638 --> 02:36:10,708
If been incredibly helpful. So I think this whole.

2741
02:36:10,708 --> 02:36:12,694
Process is something we can work on and keep, keep

2742
02:36:12,694 --> 02:36:14,996
improving going forward. Yeah. Okay, go ahead.

2743
02:36:14,996 --> 02:36:18,596
Yeah, I'm gonna echo that. I.

2744
02:36:20,685 --> 02:36:22,770
I work very well with the planning department, get a

2745
02:36:22,770 --> 02:36:26,970
lot of information from you and, and.

2746
02:36:28,760 --> 02:36:30,862
You for your hard work toward doing that? I would

2747
02:36:30,862 --> 02:36:33,648
mention one. And it's gonna come up during the construction

2748
02:36:33,648 --> 02:36:36,918
of a modified ordinance. The legal requirements that

2749
02:36:36,918 --> 02:36:38,703
Brian's team is under are different

2750
02:36:38,703 --> 02:36:39,704
than our community requirements. And so there is

2751
02:36:39,704 --> 02:36:42,507
gonna be. A resolution or some sort of.

2752
02:36:42,507 --> 02:36:44,250
Reconciliaon of those two that Brian's gonna have to go

2753
02:36:44,250 --> 02:36:47,879
through. So I recognize that you did.

2754
02:36:47,879 --> 02:36:48,913
What you were supposed to do in this instance, but

2755
02:36:48,913 --> 02:36:50,615
from the community driven process, sometimes those

2756
02:36:50,615 --> 02:36:52,250
are different. Without chair, I would move to

2757
02:36:52,250 --> 02:36:54,435
deny the appeal. Providing the staff and

2758
02:36:54,435 --> 02:36:58,556
the appellant. Agree that their record has

2759
02:36:58,556 --> 02:37:01,556
been corrected. And move forward.

2760
02:37:03,911 --> 02:37:06,911
I'll second that district one.

2761
02:37:13,855 --> 02:37:14,922
Yes. District five. Yes. District two. Yes. District

2762
02:37:14,922 --> 02:37:17,658

All right. Thank you. Thank you all for being here

2764
02:37:20,311 --> 02:37:22,311
today. All right.

2765
02:37:24,298 --> 02:37:28,586
Changeover of a staff down here. I think

2766
02:37:28,586 --> 02:37:31,586
Tricia and Shava are up.

2767
02:37:40,698 --> 02:37:43,184
All right. Item number 14 is a resolution approving the

2768
02:37:43,184 --> 02:37:46,120
award chairs worth that. Oh, I, I.

2769
02:37:46,120 --> 02:37:47,121

02:37:47,121 --> 02:37:49,121
a statement. Yes.

2771
02:37:50,740 --> 02:37:51,209

02:37:51,209 --> 02:37:53,394
following my script. But thanks Trevor.

2773
02:37:53,394 --> 02:37:58,194
Before we start, I think that supervisor Tucker.

2774
02:38:01,180 --> 02:38:02,530
Yep. The, the abundance of caution. I'm gonna

2775
02:38:02,530 --> 02:38:05,390
recuse myself from this item because I have

2776
02:38:05,390 --> 02:38:07,608
a indirect. Financial interest in a

2777
02:38:07,608 --> 02:38:10,608
contractor dynamic trades that can.

2778
02:38:11,195 --> 02:38:13,614
May potentially perform work on this project.

2779
02:38:13,614 --> 02:38:16,584
So I will recuse myself. All right.

2780
02:38:16,584 --> 02:38:18,202
Well, we'll get you. We'll bring you back when we're

2781
02:38:18,202 --> 02:38:21,202

Applications were received and brought forward.

2805
02:39:38,349 --> 02:39:39,367
Three ve already been awarded today. We are

2806
02:39:39,367 --> 02:39:43,567
talking about. Grass valley, just to recap

2807
02:39:44,822 --> 02:39:48,392
the purpose of the recreation mitigation funds.

2808
02:39:48,392 --> 02:39:51,312
It is growth related is for projects.

2809
02:39:51,312 --> 02:39:54,912
Projects that provide growth related infrastructure.

2810
02:39:54,932 --> 02:39:56,100
These development impact fees, help fund the expansion

2811
02:39:56,100 --> 02:39:59,520
of public. Facilities needed to offset

2812
02:39:59,520 --> 02:40:02,356
demand created by new development.

2813
02:40:02,356 --> 02:40:05,810
This is for capital improvements only.

2814
02:40:05,810 --> 02:40:10,100
And these funds may construct new recreation.

2815
02:40:11,165 --> 02:40:15,965
Facilities or trails upgrade or improve existing facilities.

2816
02:40:17,822 --> 02:40:20,307
To expand the level of service or support projects aligned

2817
02:40:20,307 --> 02:40:22,209
with the recreation and resiliency master plan.

2818
02:40:22,209 --> 02:40:29,409
It has to be for public benefit. And wiin the benefit zone.

2819
02:40:32,119 --> 02:40:33,287
The projects have to create new expanded recreational

2820
02:40:33,287 --> 02:40:36,173
opportunities. Be consistent with the applicable

2821
02:40:36,173 --> 02:40:39,173
capital improvement expenditure plan and.

2822
02:40:39,293 --> 02:40:42,196
Provide full public use at little or no cost. They

2823
02:40:42,196 --> 02:40:44,882
cannot be used for anything else other than infrastructure.

2824
02:40:44,882 --> 02:40:48,352
So the funding available. At the grass valley benefit

2825
02:40:48,352 --> 02:40:50,352
zone was 120,000. $775.65.

2826
02:40:55,860 --> 02:40:57,962
We received two applications today in front of you as

2827
02:40:57,962 --> 02:40:59,647
the grass valley. Zone applicant by the city of

2828
02:40:59,647 --> 02:41:01,647
grass valley. The

2829
02:41:08,272 --> 02:41:09,424
award includes for everyone. Dollar that's awarded 10 cents

2830
02:41:09,424 --> 02:41:11,424
goes towards the.

2831
02:41:13,461 --> 02:41:15,380
Support of administrion. Of the grant through the

2832
02:41:15,380 --> 02:41:18,980
recreation economy program. So the project

2833
02:41:25,590 --> 02:41:28,292
in question today is city of grass valley, the Centerville

2834
02:41:28,292 --> 02:41:31,892
bike park, skate park, or skate.

2835
02:41:33,514 --> 02:41:39,870
Spot. This is a neighborho scale Plaza style skate park,

2836
02:41:39,870 --> 02:41:41,890
which is integrated into the. Larger new Centerville bike

2837
02:41:41,890 --> 02:41:44,890
park that. Is bng developed.

2838
02:41:48,513 --> 02:41:50,965
In that area, it would add about 3000 square foot

2839
02:41:50,965 --> 02:41:56,365
off skate park amenities alongside the plant pump track.

2840
02:41:57,255 --> 02:41:58,456
It provides big enough friendly and geographically

2841
02:41:58,456 --> 02:42:01,676
accessible wheeled sports options. It builds on existing

2842
02:42:01,676 --> 02:42:04,529
city investments. In restroo, parking, parking

2843
02:42:04,529 --> 02:42:07,198
infrastructure. It's part of the recreation.

2844
02:42:07,198 --> 02:42:08,566
Plan as well as these dollars are merely being

2845
02:42:08,566 --> 02:42:12,166
leveraged for. A plan that's already

2846
02:42:14,550 --> 02:42:16,474
in action. I just wanna add that.

2847
02:42:16,474 --> 02:42:20,561
Once the funds are received. This project will go through

2848
02:42:20,561 --> 02:42:23,331
the normal process. Of community engagement,

2849
02:42:23,331 --> 02:42:25,331
environmental analysis.

2850
02:42:31,706 --> 02:42:34,750
Procure securing a contractor and so on and so forth.

2851
02:42:34,750 --> 02:42:37,995
None of at has been finalized. The terms and agreements.

2852
02:42:37,995 --> 02:42:41,595
The agreements will begin essentially today.

2853
02:42:42,450 --> 02:42:45,450
And it ends July 31st, 2028.

2854
02:42:49,724 --> 02:42:53,194
The agreement will define or does define the eligible cost

2855
02:42:53,194 --> 02:42:54,262
reimbursement requirements reporting.

2856
02:42:54,262 --> 02:42:56,470

2858
02:42:58,516 --> 02:43:00,516
recommended awards.

Again, they use available park and recreation, capital

2860
02:43:04,355 --> 02:43:07,955
improvement projects. The total award fund.

2861
02:43:08,920 --> 02:43:10,920

Sorry. Just I have one question I'm

2884
02:44:27,104 --> 02:44:31,920
struggling to, I. Locate it . Can you give me

2885
02:44:31,920 --> 02:44:35,892
more better description of where it is? Exactly.

2886
02:44:39,867 --> 02:44:42,203
Where where's the center where it's gonna be project. Yeah.

2887
02:44:42,203 --> 02:44:44,705
Oh, it's top Idaho, Maryland. Right next to Idaho, Maryland.

2888
02:44:44,705 --> 02:44:47,625
Your map. I was just looking at your map.

2889
02:44:47,625 --> 02:44:52,747
But right where, so Idaho right by the LA Marika.

2890
02:44:52,747 --> 02:44:55,333
Development. So we're Idaho, Maryland, and it used to be

2891
02:44:55,333 --> 02:44:57,301
Sutton way den it's right in that location.

2892
02:44:57,301 --> 02:44:58,369
It's where the new street came in there. Correct. If

2893
02:44:58,369 --> 02:45:00,369
off of Brunswick.

2894
02:45:04,258 --> 02:45:06,444
Well, yeah, near will near Brunswick. You can access it

2895
02:45:06,444 --> 02:45:10,565
from Brunswick or from Sutton. Yeah. We're but also, so

2896
02:45:10,565 --> 02:45:11,933
the. City actually owns a corner

2897
02:45:11,933 --> 02:45:13,933
property there.

2898
02:45:15,753 --> 02:45:18,189
And that's kind of the centerpiece of doing this with

2899
02:45:18,189 --> 02:45:19,757
parking and restrooms. And it's basically, we're looking,

2900
02:45:19,757 --> 02:45:23,744
it's basically how I always thought thought of.

2901
02:45:23,744 --> 02:45:26,397
It, it was more of a Trailhead opportunity. And then

2902
02:45:26,397 --> 02:45:28,232
all these other recreational things have kind of come into

2903
02:45:28,232 --> 02:45:30,151
play because the Loma Rica, ranch people have donated some.

2904
02:45:30,151 --> 02:45:31,952
Property to the city. And then the city purchased a

2905
02:45:31,952 --> 02:45:34,789
piece of property that was over there as well.

2906
02:45:34,789 --> 02:45:35,873
So it's on t same side as where all the

2907
02:45:35,873 --> 02:45:37,740
buildings are happening. Yes. Yeah. It's where the hou the

2908
02:45:37,740 --> 02:45:38,609
new houses. So there's already a new.

2909
02:45:38,609 --> 02:45:43,409
Turnout there. So, okay. Wondering about the impacts.

2910
02:45:47,618 --> 02:45:49,320
For, yeah, no, the impacts actually will be good cuz

2911
02:45:49,320 --> 02:45:51,872
people, you, people hike and, and bike and stuff over

2912
02:45:51,872 --> 02:45:54,975
there and they, they tend to park illegally.

2913
02:45:54,975 --> 02:45:56,827
So this actually is gonna help solve a good problem.

2914
02:45:56,827 --> 02:45:59,497
When the, when it's fully executed is my, okay. That,

2915
02:45:59,497 --> 02:46:00,481
that would be my only understanding, wanting to

2916
02:46:00,481 --> 02:46:01,282
make sure that, that that is.

2917
02:46:01,282 --> 02:46:02,416
You're paying attention to that. Yeah. And it's part of

2918
02:46:02,416 --> 02:46:05,860
a bigger project. That's gonna connect the Loma

2919
02:46:05,860 --> 02:46:06,704
Rika ranch project all the way out to the Wolf Creek

2920
02:46:06,704 --> 02:46:08,704
trail behind Railey's.

2921
02:46:11,759 --> 02:46:14,595
Railey's so, so my concern is, so my district is

2922
02:46:14,595 --> 02:46:15,913
just near there coming down, Brunswick, the additional

2923
02:46:15,913 --> 02:46:17,281
traffic we're seeing.

2924
02:46:17,281 --> 02:46:18,716
And the additional stoplights in the now a turn lane,

2925
02:46:18,716 --> 02:46:21,635
making sure that we are. Looking at the

2926
02:46:21,635 --> 02:46:24,635
the whole, the combined impacts.

2927
02:46:30,940 --> 02:46:31,746
Now the oject will have to go through a full

2928
02:46:31,746 --> 02:46:34,150
environmental review. Okay. But this has been on the books

2929
02:46:34,150 --> 02:46:35,466
for quite a long time, over a decadego. I

2930
02:46:35,466 --> 02:46:36,233
know. I worked at the city and we

2931
02:46:36,233 --> 02:46:41,330
had applied for a grant at that point.

2932
02:46:41,122 --> 02:46:42,256
Right. That's it's been a long time coming. Yeah. Yeah.

2933
02:46:42,256 --> 02:46:43,557
No, thank you for reminding me. We will get a

2934
02:46:43,557 --> 02:46:45,309
chance to look at all this impact. Thank you. So,

2935
02:46:45,309 --> 02:46:48,546
l right. If there are no other

2936
02:46:48,546 --> 02:46:50,331
questions from the board, I will open public comment. If

2937
02:46:50,331 --> 02:46:52,166
there's anybody who wants to comment on this now is

2938
02:46:52,166 --> 02:46:54,166
your opportunity.

2939
02:46:59,924 --> 02:47:05,924
Good morning, Tom Dirk, and no place to go project.

2940
02:47:06,697 --> 02:47:09,200
District three. I'm very happy to see the skate park

2941
02:47:09,200 --> 02:47:11,218
going. I have a question. Will it be lit at

2942
02:47:11,218 --> 02:47:13,218
night?

2943
02:47:16,750 --> 02:47:19,453
If you'd like me to answer that. Yeah. It's probably

2944
02:47:19,453 --> 02:47:21,205
to be determined when they actually, they have to come

2945
02:47:21,205 --> 02:47:22,600
back. They have to come back and go

2946
02:47:22,600 --> 02:47:23,240
through a whole process. That'll go to the

2947
02:47:23,240 --> 02:47:24,800
planning commission and the city

2948
02:47:24,800 --> 02:47:26,800
council.

2949
02:47:28,963 --> 02:47:32,283
And so the lighting and all the amenities and stuff

2950
02:47:32,283 --> 02:47:33,484
will be part of the plan moving forward, the county's

2951
02:47:33,484 --> 02:47:34,552
just helping pay for it. Yeah, I just wanna start the

2952
02:47:34,552 --> 02:47:35,970
process that we do advote led in the park.

2953
02:47:35,970 --> 02:47:38,806
Is the kids re skating in the dark anyway.

2954
02:47:38,806 --> 02:47:40,925
Last time I talked to ER, to get.

2955
02:47:40,925 --> 02:47:44,929
One injury a day from a condom park.

2956
02:47:44,929 --> 02:47:50,835
So there's listen. There's an efrt to light that park.

2957
02:47:50,835 --> 02:47:54,104
And it could be a pay, paid a light up

2958
02:47:54,104 --> 02:47:55,406
like the tennis court. But I think kids are gonna

2959
02:47:55,406 --> 02:47:58,920
skate in the dark anyway. And for safety.

2960
02:47:58,920 --> 02:48:03,347
And to reduce drug traffic. Which is also been a problem.

2961
02:48:03,347 --> 02:48:05,316
Open the skate parks, dark. That little, little leagues are

2962
02:48:05,316 --> 02:48:08,269
lit. Tennis courts are lit. So sea

2963
02:48:08,269 --> 02:48:11,555
cars should be lit too. I just wanna start.

2964
02:48:11,555 --> 02:48:13,557
Advocating for that. So thank you very much. Thank you,

2965
02:48:13,557 --> 02:48:17,157
Tom. Tom, any other public comment?

2966
02:48:20,114 --> 02:48:22,366
We do have one caller chair. Okay. We'll take Rob

2967
02:48:22,366 --> 02:48:23,534
first and then we'll take the caller.

2968
02:48:23,534 --> 02:48:27,134
Hello board. Rob Katine grass valley.

2969
02:48:28,122 --> 02:48:31,122
I live downtown. I bike.

2970
02:48:33,377 --> 02:48:34,778
By there all the time to go up to my

2971
02:48:34,778 --> 02:48:37,664
work. And I'm in full support of the

2972
02:48:37,664 --> 02:48:40,267
project, but I have some questions.

2973
02:48:40,267 --> 02:48:43,267
Questions is this matching grant?

2974
02:48:44,955 --> 02:48:50,955
For the city is the city contributi the same amount?

2975
02:48:51,895 --> 02:48:53,997
You know what, Rob, ask your questions and we'll answer

2976
02:48:53,997 --> 02:48:56,830
'em at the end. So you can you three minutes,

2977
02:48:56,830 --> 02:48:58,819
so right. And now I think it's a great

2978
02:48:58,819 --> 02:49:02,419
project and I'm glad the developer.

2979
02:49:02,840 --> 02:49:04,840
Donated the land.

2980
02:49:07,728 --> 02:49:09,129
Hardy asked about the timeline and it seems absurd that

2981
02:49:09,129 --> 02:49:11,815
it should take two years to get this process through.

2982
02:49:11,815 --> 02:49:13,817
And so I'm just wondering how it could be expedited.

2983
02:49:13,817 --> 02:49:19,540
And let's see what else. I'm concerned about the trails.

2984
02:49:19,540 --> 02:49:22,926
Trails in the low Marika, two development that are.

2985
02:49:22,926 --> 02:49:26,814
I know that bicyclists of Nevada county have taken over.

2986
02:49:26,814 --> 02:49:28,916
Some of the control of those trails, but I think

2987
02:49:28,916 --> 02:49:30,117
the county. And grass valley have to

2988
02:49:30,117 --> 02:49:32,117
look at.

2989
02:49:34,872 --> 02:49:37,240
LA Marika two, which is the development of the hillse

2990
02:49:37,240 --> 02:49:43,240
and lo Marika ranch. In order to Peru pursue.refully.

2991
02:49:44,114 --> 02:49:47,234
Public recreation like this. Grant's doing so.

2992
02:49:47,234 --> 02:49:52,340
I'm just sort of commenting that it shouldn't

2993
02:49:52,256 --> 02:49:55,292
take this long. And I hope that things can

2994
02:49:55,292 --> 02:49:58,892
be streamlined. I thought the environmental

2995
02:49:59,179 --> 02:50:02,179
report was already being done.

2996
02:50:09,523 --> 02:50:11,342
Actually I biked by there a couple days ago. And

2997
02:50:11,342 --> 02:50:12,376
there was some equipment handsome brothers were out

2998
02:50:12,376 --> 02:50:15,612
there clearing and there was piles.

2999
02:50:15,612 --> 02:50:16,630
Piles of debris. So I, it looked like things were

3000
02:50:16,630 --> 02:50:20,901
happening and I hoped. Hoped that I was gonna see a

3001
02:50:20,901 --> 02:50:23,901
pump track in the next.

3002
02:50:24,321 --> 02:50:25,456
Couple of months, but it seems like it's gonna be

3003
02:50:25,456 --> 02:50:27,856
a couple years. So

3004
02:50:28,776 --> 02:50:34,176
that's it. thanks. You guys. Thank you. So just

3005
02:50:35,132 --> 02:50:37,132
there will be.

3006
02:50:43,173 --> 02:50:45,843
There will be city matches here cuz it's $75,000 is

3007
02:50:45,843 --> 02:50:48,620
definitely not enoh money to buy, to build this project.

3008
02:50:48,620 --> 02:50:49,663
So there will be matching funds from the city of.

3009
02:50:49,663 --> 02:50:51,315
Cross valley, as far as the timeframe goes, that is

3010
02:50:51,315 --> 02:50:56,153
all on the city. All we're doing is awarding

3011
02:50:56,153 --> 02:50:58,720
the money. How the process works is all on the city to

3012
02:50:58,720 --> 02:51:00,374
determine again, there'll be public hearings. I believe

3013
02:51:00,374 --> 02:51:04,361
there's a meeting. Tomorrow afternoon with the

3014
02:51:04,361 --> 02:51:07,147
city engineer and some of the concerned people. And so they

3015
02:51:07,147 --> 02:51:09,616
are working through the issues that you're talking about, but.

3016
02:51:09,616 --> 02:51:10,584
When I look at two years as a county person,

3017
02:51:10,584 --> 02:51:15,384
that's a very short period of times. so.

3018
02:51:17,124 --> 02:51:18,192
But I'm sure if they can get it done quicker,

3019
02:51:18,192 --> 02:51:19,626
if they have the funding and they go through the

3020
02:51:19,626 --> 02:51:21,128
public process, they will do it cuz the public is

3021
02:51:21,128 --> 02:51:22,546
anxious for it. So thanks for bringing those things.

3022
02:51:22,546 --> 02:51:26,746
Up. So let's take the caller Sierra.

3023
02:51:29,203 --> 02:51:30,804
Hi, Matthew halter grass valley currently.

3024
02:51:30,804 --> 02:51:36,804
I was out there and I go out there weekly.

3025
02:51:38,111 --> 02:51:40,647
Ride the trails just kind of check out the different

3026
02:51:40,647 --> 02:51:41,665
homos camps. See how they're. Expandindeveloping

3027
02:51:41,665 --> 02:51:43,665
blooming burning.

3028
02:51:48,689 --> 02:51:50,724
Out there and can use the tunnels because people are

3029
02:51:50,724 --> 02:51:53,177
living in 'em at lo Marika ranch.

3030
02:51:53,177 --> 02:51:55,450
So that was an issue it's like, you've got to

3031
02:51:55,450 --> 02:51:57,970
be willing to go into a dark tunnel.

3032
02:51:57,970 --> 02:52:02,497
And basically confront people that are high on drugs.

3033
02:52:04,922 --> 02:52:07,740
And get past them. So that's an issue there's kind

3034
02:52:07,740 --> 02:52:08,750
of a roadblock. So I've actually watched people

3035
02:52:08,750 --> 02:52:10,244
crossing the top of Brunswick road versus

3036
02:52:10,244 --> 02:52:14,198
using the tunnel. Because of the people that are

3037
02:52:14,198 --> 02:52:16,583
living in it and you can go read the graffiti.

3038
02:52:16,583 --> 02:52:17,584
My name's even on the wall on there, not from me

3039
02:52:17,584 --> 02:52:19,453
making it, but for the drug addicts.

3040
02:52:19,453 --> 02:52:21,355
Saying F Matthew Coulter. I'm very popular roaming

3041
02:52:21,355 --> 02:52:24,141
around town, taking pictures of these

3042
02:52:24,141 --> 02:52:27,141
people. That are being encouraged.

3043
02:52:27,661 --> 02:52:30,163
By our local government to do nothing but live in

3044
02:52:30,163 --> 02:52:32,950
the Brunswick basin. Low Marika ranch, light fires,

3045
02:52:32,950 --> 02:52:34,950
leave trash.

3046
02:52:39,840 --> 02:52:42,993
And just cause complete chaos in that zone. They're out

3047
02:52:42,993 --> 02:52:44,127
all night shopping and dragging stuff into their

3048
02:52:44,127 --> 02:52:46,127
camps and breaking.

3049
02:52:46,680 --> 02:52:53,880
Stuff it is off the hook. What's going on out there and.

3050
02:52:54,638 --> 02:52:55,639
Yes, there's no big, hard structures being built

3051
02:52:55,639 --> 02:52:57,257
currently as there was before the low

3052
02:52:57,257 --> 02:53:00,257
Marika ranch project started with

3053
02:53:00,661 --> 02:53:01,528
their development. But there's plenty of

3054
02:53:01,528 --> 02:53:02,613
materials for the almost. Access to drag out into the.

3055
02:53:02,613 --> 02:53:05,130
Hinterlands and build structures.

3056
02:53:09,203 --> 02:53:10,938
Structures. So again, like the previous gentleman said

3057
02:53:10,938 --> 02:53:12,756
the trails aren't safe. There really

3058
02:53:12,756 --> 02:53:14,691
needs to be trail patrols by G P D and the county.

3059
02:53:14,691 --> 02:53:16,260
Cuz a lot of these folks are, they're not looking

3060
02:53:16,260 --> 02:53:18,345
for services. They're just looking for drugs.

3061
02:53:18,345 --> 02:53:20,714
And to lay down. And it just happens to be the

3062
02:53:20,714 --> 02:53:24,314
drugs they use and take fire.

3063
02:53:25,669 --> 02:53:28,388
And then things catch on fire and their oblivis, and

3064
02:53:28,388 --> 02:53:29,456
then we're stuck with cleaning up the mess.

3065
02:53:29,456 --> 02:53:34,256
So low Marika ranch really needs some help.

3066
02:53:36,713 --> 02:53:37,865
Brunswick son really needs some help. Anything within

3067
02:53:37,865 --> 02:53:40,934
walking distance of our liquor stores really

3068
02:53:40,934 --> 02:53:44,741
needs some help. Because it is bad. I mean,

3069
02:53:44,741 --> 02:53:46,750
there's just people laying all over the ground, down there

3070
02:53:46,750 --> 02:53:48,594
in the Brunswick basin. And watch people.

3071
02:53:48,594 --> 02:53:50,430
Walk from the Marika ranch from the camps and walk

3072
02:53:50,430 --> 02:53:54,630
to the. Spirit center and get their

3073
02:53:55,251 --> 02:53:59,451
stuff and head back to the camps.

3074
02:54:00,239 --> 02:54:02,859
Camps and yeah, it's good to cool off. And the

3075
02:54:02,859 --> 02:54:04,394
fires are gonna kick off and need some help folks.

3076
02:54:04,394 --> 02:54:05,194
Little Marika, ranch. Thanks a lot.

3077
02:54:05,194 --> 02:54:09,215
Thank you. All right. There's Bjorn. Did

3078
02:54:09,215 --> 02:54:13,415
you wanna add anything at this time?

3079
02:54:14,704 --> 02:54:15,905
Not to put you on the spot or anything. Yeah,

3080
02:54:15,905 --> 02:54:17,905
that's fine.

3081
02:54:23,460 --> 02:54:24,180
Good evening. Good morning. Bjorn Jones, city engineer,

3082
02:54:24,180 --> 02:54:25,815
city, grass valley. And yes, just to

3083
02:54:25,815 --> 02:54:28,670
clarify a couple. Points questions from

3084
02:54:28,670 --> 02:54:29,736
the audience. I don't you had the map or

3085
02:54:29,736 --> 02:54:32,136
exhibit of the layout.

3086
02:54:33,322 --> 02:54:36,322
Is that the best one?

3087
02:54:38,211 --> 02:54:40,546
I think there is a, another zoomed in one. Love

3088
02:54:40,546 --> 02:54:42,546
that out.

3089
02:55:14,597 --> 02:55:16,766
Is so right at the corner of Centerville in Idaho,

3090
02:55:16,766 --> 02:55:18,284
Maryland, there's a little pullout dirt pullout, which

3091
02:55:18,284 --> 02:55:21,284
is going to be improved.

3092
02:55:22,121 --> 02:55:23,639
Improvedith a parking lot. There's a bridge across the

3093
02:55:23,639 --> 02:55:25,441
Creek there and then the pump track on the other

3094
02:55:25,441 --> 02:55:27,243
side of the Creek. So that's the location.

3095
02:55:27,243 --> 02:55:28,628
As far as the comment from one of the audience

3096
02:55:28,628 --> 02:55:30,628
members.

3097
02:55:35,385 --> 02:55:36,319
I think he was mixing up phase one and phase

3098
02:55:36,319 --> 02:55:39,872
two. So phase one of the project is underway. The

3099
02:55:39,872 --> 02:55:42,272
contractor. Immobilized this week,

3100
02:55:42,842 --> 02:55:46,462
actually to start on clearing and grubbing

3101
02:55:46,462 --> 02:55:52,180
and grading work. And so phase one is the pump.

3102
02:55:52,180 --> 02:55:53,820
Track. So that is the, the bicycle pump track on

3103
02:55:53,820 --> 02:55:54,937
the east side of the Creek. And a small parking lot and

3104
02:55:54,937 --> 02:55:57,937
restroom on the west side.

3105
02:56:01,844 --> 02:56:02,879
So that's phase one that is cleared environmental

3106
02:56:02,879 --> 02:56:04,800
under construction. And, and moving ahead, we're

3107
02:56:04,800 --> 02:56:06,466
hoping to have that done this construction season.

3108
02:56:06,466 --> 02:56:10,453
If weather cooperates. Rates and then phase t,

3109
02:56:10,453 --> 02:56:12,321
which is what this funding would allow, would be an

3110
02:56:12,321 --> 02:56:14,624
expansion of that park to include skate facilities.

3111
02:56:14,624 --> 02:56:16,900
And so if this funding were approved,

3112
02:56:16,900 --> 02:56:19,609
the city would bring leveraging funds.

3113
02:56:21,564 --> 02:56:25,468
Likely a hundred to $150,000 more depending on the full

3114
02:56:25,468 --> 02:56:26,169
budget. But. We would work with

3115
02:56:26,169 --> 02:56:28,169
our contractor.

3116
02:56:30,757 --> 02:56:32,175
Design consultant to finalize design. And then as

3117
02:56:32,175 --> 02:56:35,775
Shabadi mentioned, we'd have to clear.

3118
02:56:35,878 --> 02:56:36,712
The environmental design process.

3119
02:56:36,712 --> 02:56:40,912
Those things take time. Best case scenario.

3120
02:56:42,180 --> 02:56:43,386
That would be completed next year, getting through

3121
02:56:43,386 --> 02:56:45,386
environmental design review.

3122
02:56:45,888 --> 02:56:49,325
Possibly construct next. Fall season. So 2027, we've

3123
02:56:49,325 --> 02:56:54,125
missed this construction season. But more than likely.

3124
02:56:57,733 --> 02:56:58,734
We take next year to get everything in place. We

3125
02:56:58,734 --> 02:57:00,603
come back and have it ready to go.

3126
02:57:00,603 --> 02:57:04,874
Spring of 28. So that would be the timeline.

3127
02:57:04,874 --> 02:57:06,874
Most realistically

3128
02:57:08,477 --> 02:57:10,646
and then other than that, yeah, the city would be

3129
02:57:10,646 --> 02:57:13,449
bringing some leveraging funds. And we're excited.

3130
02:57:13,449 --> 02:57:17,649
To partner here and, and bring this.

3131
02:57:19,922 --> 02:57:20,957
This nice recreation enhancement to our community.

3132
02:57:20,957 --> 02:57:22,391
So happy to answer any more questions.

3133
02:57:22,391 --> 02:57:24,791
Thank you. All right.

3134
02:57:26,829 --> 02:57:32,268
So comments or motion. From the board at this time.

3135
02:57:32,268 --> 02:57:33,350
If anybody wants to make a motion.

3136
02:57:33,350 --> 02:57:36,772
I'd move to approve. Their second, second. All

3137
02:57:36,772 --> 02:57:39,559
right. Roll call. District one. Yes.

3138
02:57:39,559 --> 02:57:41,559
District five.

3139
02:57:45,181 --> 02:57:49,381
Yes, district two has recused district four.

3140
02:57:49,936 --> 02:57:51,204
Yes. And district three. Yes. All right. Motion

3141
02:57:51,204 --> 02:57:53,356
carries. Thank you. All. Thanks so much.

3142
02:57:53,356 --> 02:57:55,858
Do we wanna grab Rob? Have him come back out for

3143
02:57:55,858 --> 02:57:58,258
our final. Warning item.

3144
02:58:09,622 --> 02:58:11,622
Thanks. All right.

3145
02:58:17,864 --> 02:58:22,251
Our final item this morning is a present.

3146
02:58:22,251 --> 02:58:23,286
Presentation from the community foundation of the

3147
02:58:23,286 --> 02:58:26,286
Nevada county. COAD that is.

3148
02:58:29,250 --> 02:58:31,294
A project that is being worked on with the group.

3149
02:58:31,294 --> 02:58:32,261
And there's been some discussion about this in

3150
02:58:32,261 --> 02:58:34,480
the community. So I had spoken with.

3151
02:58:34,480 --> 02:58:35,815
The foundation and asked them if they would come in

3152
02:58:35,815 --> 02:58:37,633
and just give us an. Informational presentation on

3153
02:58:37,633 --> 02:58:40,633
what a co-ed is. And.

3154
02:58:44,390 --> 02:58:46,559
Why we want it. And I answer any questions that

3155
02:58:46,559 --> 02:58:49,812
we might have. So I'd like to introduce ChristinKelly and

3156
02:58:49,812 --> 02:58:51,814
Erica Sina from the C. Community foundation, who

3157
02:58:51,814 --> 02:58:52,565
we're gonna make the presentation.

3158
02:58:52,565 --> 02:58:54,965
Good morning. Good morning.

3159
02:58:57,360 --> 02:59:00,823
Green light. There we go. Good morning, chair, Swarthout and

3160
02:59:00,823 --> 02:59:05,511
members of the board. I'm really excited to have

3161
02:59:05,511 --> 02:59:07,380
this opportunity to come back to you today and, and update

3162
02:59:07,380 --> 02:59:09,198
you on the Western Nevada county. Co-ed.

3163
02:59:09,198 --> 02:59:11,198
So the county

3164
02:59:15,221 --> 02:59:16,489
with a contract with the community foundation, asked

3165
02:59:16,489 --> 02:59:18,740
us to explore wh it would, what it

3166
02:59:18,740 --> 02:59:20,420
would take to create a community organization

3167
02:59:20,420 --> 02:59:21,877
active and disaster. Network for Western

3168
02:59:21,877 --> 02:59:25,297
Nevada county. Eastern Nevada county already

3169
02:59:25,297 --> 02:59:26,799
has the Tahoe Tuckey COAD, which

3170
02:59:26,799 --> 02:59:29,799
has been in existence since 2022.

3171
02:59:30,520 --> 02:59:31,354
That planning work is now complete. Christine, could

3172
02:59:31,354 --> 02:59:33,673
you bring your mic a little bit closer

3173
02:59:33,673 --> 02:59:38,227
to your sure. Thanks. That planning work is

3174
02:59:38,227 --> 02:59:40,227
now complete.

3175
02:59:42,665 --> 02:59:43,616
And weave a locally developed blueprint and

3176
02:59:43,616 --> 02:59:45,284
engaged network of community partners.

3177
02:59:45,284 --> 02:59:46,285
Partners and a much clearer understanding of the

3178
02:59:46,285 --> 02:59:47,720
capacity required to move.

3179
02:59:47,720 --> 02:59:52,792
From planning into practice. Today we wanna make the co-ed

3180
02:59:52,792 --> 02:59:57,960
itself. Very concrete. To show you what the county

3181
02:59:57,960 --> 03:00:00,696
and the foundation have built together.

3182
03:00:02,284 --> 03:00:03,636
And explain the time limited activation phase we're

3183
03:00:03,636 --> 03:00:06,380
prepared to carry out while we explore the

3184
03:00:06,380 --> 03:00:10,238
right durable regional model. So the central

3185
03:00:12,886 --> 03:00:14,521
idea is straightforward. The blueprint is complete and

3186
03:00:14,521 --> 03:00:17,521
the next step is activation.

3187
03:00:19,343 --> 03:00:23,463
The blueprint tells us what the, what? The, just, there

3188
03:00:23,463 --> 03:00:25,465
we go. The blueprint tells us what

3189
03:00:25,465 --> 03:00:28,285
the COAD should do, how it relates to puic agencies

3190
03:00:28,285 --> 03:00:30,888
and what structures are needed. Activation is the work of

3191
03:00:30,888 --> 03:00:35,880
turning that design into a functioning twork.

3192
03:00:37,644 --> 03:00:38,729
Reconnecting the parers confirming capabilities,

3193
03:00:38,729 --> 03:00:41,729
establishing procedures, and beginning to

3194
03:00:42,165 --> 03:00:44,151
work together before an emergency requires it.

3195
03:00:44,151 --> 03:00:45,185
This matters now because the relationships and

3196
03:00:45,185 --> 03:00:47,487
ex expectations. Created through community

3197
03:00:47,487 --> 03:00:49,606
engagement. Can't be simply stored in a

3198
03:00:49,606 --> 03:00:50,340
plan. They have to be maintained

3199
03:00:50,340 --> 03:00:53,100
and used. I'll begin with the investment

3200
03:00:53,100 --> 03:00:55,410
in what it produced.

3201
03:00:58,310 --> 03:00:59,983
Then I'll turn it over to Erica Casina who led

3202
03:00:59,983 --> 03:01:01,952
the planning process and can explain how the network.

3203
03:01:01,952 --> 03:01:06,540
Functions in practical terms. Then I'll return and talk a

3204
03:01:06,540 --> 03:01:08,800
little bit about the activation, the funding and

3205
03:01:08,800 --> 03:01:10,744
the regional model discussion. So the county and the trend

3206
03:01:10,744 --> 03:01:12,744
and the foundation.

3207
03:01:15,933 --> 03:01:17,170
Are not beginning withn abstract idea together.

3208
03:01:17,170 --> 03:01:18,852
We've already built the foundation of an

3209
03:01:18,852 --> 03:01:23,520
operating network. The first thing I wanna

3210
03:01:23,106 --> 03:01:26,706
clarify is what this has achieved.

3211
03:01:28,495 --> 03:01:31,498
Achieved. We have $75,000 in a joint investment between the

3212
03:01:31,498 --> 03:01:33,984
county and the community foundation.

3213
03:01:33,984 --> 03:01:36,153
Primarily through a league, a grant from the league of

3214
03:01:36,153 --> 03:01:38,153
California community foundations.

3215
03:01:38,155 --> 03:01:39,156
That combined with our contract with the county

3216
03:01:39,156 --> 03:01:41,556
is produced the blueprint.

3217
03:01:45,195 --> 03:01:46,296
Covering governance, activation communications, the

3218
03:01:46,296 --> 03:01:50,267
function teams and the roles needed to maintain the system.

3219
03:01:50,267 --> 03:01:51,368
And identified over a hundred potential participants

3220
03:01:51,368 --> 03:01:53,937
and directly. Engaged 42 organizations in

3221
03:01:53,937 --> 03:01:57,740
the planning process. Those relationships are as

3222
03:01:57,740 --> 03:01:59,474
important as the document.

3223
03:02:04,381 --> 03:02:05,582
Participating organizations have since signed a statement

3224
03:02:05,582 --> 03:02:08,185
of support calling for sustained SUTA staffed

3225
03:02:08,185 --> 03:02:10,887
coordination capacity. So this is therefore more than

3226
03:02:10,887 --> 03:02:14,958
a report. Again, sitting on a shelf,

3227
03:02:14,958 --> 03:02:16,159
it's a locally designed structure

3228
03:02:16,159 --> 03:02:17,127
and a group of organizations that have invested

3229
03:02:17,127 --> 03:02:20,897
time, knowledge, and trust in building it.

3230
03:02:20,897 --> 03:02:24,497
So exactly what is a coed.

3231
03:02:29,573 --> 03:02:32,175
And I'll turn it over to Erica casino. My colleague

3232
03:02:32,175 --> 03:02:33,276
who helped develop the blueprint actually led the

3233
03:02:33,276 --> 03:02:35,676
development of the blueprint.

3234
03:02:36,460 --> 03:02:37,800
And has been very active. In, in looking at

3235
03:02:37,800 --> 03:02:39,683
different models. Throughout the community. Good

3236
03:02:39,683 --> 03:02:43,283
morning. Thanks for having me here.

3237
03:02:43,687 --> 03:02:47,570
So a COAD is a counterpart to the existing.

3238
03:02:47,570 --> 03:02:49,570
Emergency services, infrastructure.

3239
03:02:49,960 --> 03:02:52,290
Right now we have the office of emergency services that

3240
03:02:52,290 --> 03:02:55,290
handles. Handles the big jobs,

3241
03:02:56,199 --> 03:02:59,169
evacuations, planning, and reacting during a

3242
03:02:59,169 --> 03:02:59,970
disaster. But there's no one

3243
03:02:59,970 --> 03:03:02,370
that's dealing with the

3244
03:03:06,309 --> 03:03:07,444
pop-up donations, volunteers, all the little needs that

3245
03:03:07,444 --> 03:03:10,480
are coming up through the community.

3246
03:03:10,480 --> 03:03:12,182
And the co-ed acts as the connective tissue.

3247
03:03:12,182 --> 03:03:14,582
So before a disaster.

3248
03:03:20,570 --> 03:03:21,191
A COAD maintains those relationships among all the

3249
03:03:21,191 --> 03:03:24,270
different nonprofit and faith-based organizations,

3250
03:03:24,270 --> 03:03:26,630
as well as our government and school

3251
03:03:26,630 --> 03:03:26,897
organizations. The co-ed establishes

3252
03:03:26,897 --> 03:03:29,966
protocols. How do we communicate when there's

3253
03:03:29,966 --> 03:03:32,369
a disaster? And we support training

3254
03:03:32,369 --> 03:03:35,172
exercises and education to help people

3255
03:03:35,172 --> 03:03:38,772
be prepared. When that disaster hits.

3256
03:03:41,445 --> 03:03:42,546
During a disaster, we move verified information, both

3257
03:03:42,546 --> 03:03:45,482
ways. So down from what we're hearing

3258
03:03:45,482 --> 03:03:48,418
from OES. Into the field into those

3259
03:03:48,418 --> 03:03:49,453
non-profit organizations, communities, faith-based

3260
03:03:49,453 --> 03:03:51,453
organizations.

3261
03:03:55,992 --> 03:03:56,993
And then we also gather information from those

3262
03:03:56,993 --> 03:03:59,429
communities from the field and we bring those

3263
03:03:59,429 --> 03:04:02,399
needs and resources back up to public.

3264
03:04:02,399 --> 03:04:03,834
Agency so that they can be distributed.

3265
03:04:03,834 --> 03:04:06,203
After a disaster. There's often a

3266
03:04:06,203 --> 03:04:10,403
large bump in donations. Again, volunteers needs.

3267
03:04:11,842 --> 03:04:15,442
The karate would coordinate all the.

3268
03:04:16,546 --> 03:04:17,514
Resources donations coming in and make sure

3269
03:04:17,514 --> 03:04:19,514
they're distributed.

3270
03:04:25,222 --> 03:04:28,392
Equitably and over time. So that big bump doesn't typically

3271
03:04:28,392 --> 03:04:33,430
last after a disaster, it immediately falls off. But with.

3272
03:04:33,430 --> 03:04:34,531
The community foundation backing the co-ed, we'd be

3273
03:04:34,531 --> 03:04:36,299
able to invest and redistribute that

3274
03:04:36,299 --> 03:04:39,703
funding. We'd also be able to track those unmet.

3275
03:04:39,703 --> 03:04:42,539
Unmet needs that happen for years after a disaster occurs.

3276
03:04:42,539 --> 03:04:47,544
Occurs. So the COAD again. Is the connective tissue

3277
03:04:47,544 --> 03:04:51,181
between OES and all those other little non-profit and community.

3278
03:04:51,181 --> 03:04:53,500
Organizations and where that standing.

3279
03:04:53,500 --> 03:04:56,887
Organization that the community can rely on

3280
03:04:56,887 --> 03:05:00,390
before, during and after a disaster.

3281
03:05:00,390 --> 03:05:03,390
So this diagram shows the

3282
03:05:09,900 --> 03:05:12,200
how everything relates so EOC and the government is always

3283
03:05:12,200 --> 03:05:15,472
at the top feeding vetted information to a co-ed liaison.

3284
03:05:15,472 --> 03:05:18,408
Or a network of information. And then that

3285
03:05:18,408 --> 03:05:21,111
information goes down to the functional

3286
03:05:21,111 --> 03:05:21,778
teams. And the leaders of the

3287
03:05:21,778 --> 03:05:24,178
different nonprofit and faith-based.

3288
03:05:27,584 --> 03:05:30,520
Organizations and those needs and resources go out into the

3289
03:05:30,520 --> 03:05:32,255
field. And then at the, again, the co-ed.

3290
03:05:32,255 --> 03:05:33,623
Reports back up from the field. So that's what I

3291
03:05:33,623 --> 03:05:37,223
mentioned earlier. So there's one interface.

3292
03:05:38,395 --> 03:05:42,766
Between OES and the local organizations OES doesn't have.

3293
03:05:42,766 --> 03:05:43,834
Hundreds of small organization calling them with

3294
03:05:43,834 --> 03:05:46,236
needs resources. Resources. And we're one

3295
03:05:46,236 --> 03:05:49,239
source of. Trusted information for all

3296
03:05:49,239 --> 03:05:51,239
those different groups.

3297
03:05:54,778 --> 03:05:57,214
The OES P I O would be the source of

3298
03:05:57,214 --> 03:05:59,649
information, but we can help distribute it.

3299
03:05:59,649 --> 03:06:00,750
Among communication channels that are already in place

3300
03:06:00,750 --> 03:06:03,987
and that we would put into place.

3301
03:06:03,987 --> 03:06:05,987
So

3302
03:06:12,562 --> 03:06:14,564
as we've been doing this work since, since about November

3303
03:06:14,564 --> 03:06:16,800
of 2025. And we stepped in when we received the

3304
03:06:16,800 --> 03:06:20,360
grant and stepped into step deeper.

3305
03:06:20,360 --> 03:06:22,339
Into this work of resilience. And one of the things

3306
03:06:22,339 --> 03:06:24,941
that we really have has become very obvious is that

3307
03:06:24,941 --> 03:06:26,420
community resilience. Requires two different types

3308
03:06:26,420 --> 03:06:28,420
of infrastructure.

3309
03:06:30,714 --> 03:06:33,884
The first is public and physical systems. So there is

3310
03:06:33,884 --> 03:06:36,337
hazard red reduction, critical infrastructure.

3311
03:06:36,337 --> 03:06:39,937
Emergency response, continuity planning, public communications.

3312
03:06:41,842 --> 03:06:44,278
It's it's as simple as right as cutting down trees.

3313
03:06:44,278 --> 03:06:46,180
So there is the physical concept of mitigation.

3314
03:06:46,180 --> 03:06:48,716
But then there is also community capacity.

3315
03:06:48,716 --> 03:06:49,683
Where we need trusted messengers cross-sector

3316
03:06:49,683 --> 03:06:51,683
coordination.

3317
03:06:54,455 --> 03:06:55,656
Vulnerable population reach, volunteer and donation systems

3318
03:06:55,656 --> 03:06:59,856
and recovery networks. Networks. And what we've

3319
03:07:00,427 --> 03:07:02,663
learned is that across all of the plans that the county and

3320
03:07:02,663 --> 03:07:04,663
the cities.

3321
03:07:08,469 --> 03:07:09,637
Have created, including the wildfire protection plan, the

3322
03:07:09,637 --> 03:07:12,673
hazard mitigation plan and all those res related

3323
03:07:12,673 --> 03:07:15,376
emergency and resilience plans. Plans those same

3324
03:07:15,376 --> 03:07:17,440
community functions. Functions come up again and

3325
03:07:17,440 --> 03:07:19,440
again, and again.

3326
03:07:22,316 --> 03:07:23,417
Trusted communication, public preparedness outreach to

3327
03:07:23,417 --> 03:07:25,817
vulnerable residents, coordination with

3328
03:07:26,720 --> 03:07:29,356
nonprofit partners, volunteer and resource management.

3329
03:07:29,356 --> 03:07:33,594
And recovery capacity. All of those plans, name that.

3330
03:07:33,594 --> 03:07:36,530
So the co-ed is the standing infrastructure

3331
03:07:36,530 --> 03:07:39,667
that organizes and maintains those functions.

3332
03:07:39,667 --> 03:07:41,667
Functions turning responsibilities.

3333
03:07:42,202 --> 03:07:43,270
From that are distributed across multiple plans into

3334
03:07:43,270 --> 03:07:45,873
a network that is current connected and

3335
03:07:45,873 --> 03:07:47,873
ready to act.

3336
03:07:50,711 --> 03:07:51,945
The organizations that provide this community, CAPA capacity

3337
03:07:51,945 --> 03:07:54,348
have already told us they want the.

3338
03:07:54,348 --> 03:07:56,348
Network to continue.

3339
03:07:59,353 --> 03:08:04,153
So we had 42 organizations fill out a survey.

3340
03:08:05,659 --> 03:08:07,861
That outlines their needs and the resources they might be

3341
03:08:07,861 --> 03:08:10,130
able to provide as, as well as their location.

3342
03:08:10,130 --> 03:08:12,166
And contact information for at least two different people at

3343
03:08:12,166 --> 03:08:15,166
the organization. So the nonprofits

3344
03:08:16,300 --> 03:08:19,239
nonprofits would be able to support with food housing.

3345
03:08:19,239 --> 03:08:22,142
Mental health volunteers and recovery.

3346
03:08:22,142 --> 03:08:24,142
Service a co-ed.

3347
03:08:27,481 --> 03:08:28,549
Helps them slot into an existing infrastructure. So

3348
03:08:28,549 --> 03:08:30,684
the roles are really clear.

3349
03:08:30,684 --> 03:08:32,152
We connect the resources and the needs.

3350
03:08:32,152 --> 03:08:35,152
And we, we reduce duplication.

3351
03:08:41,662 --> 03:08:45,933
So the blueprint, describe this a permanent COAD manager.

3352
03:08:45,933 --> 03:08:47,100
Model. That was what the steering committee decided

3353
03:08:47,100 --> 03:08:49,401
was that we really.

3354
03:08:51,138 --> 03:08:53,907
Needed was a paid staff position to activate and, and

3355
03:08:53,907 --> 03:08:55,709
work this network. But since then a larger and

3356
03:08:55,709 --> 03:08:58,109
worthwhile question has emerged.

3357
03:09:00,314 --> 03:09:01,315
Which is, should the durable structure be west

3358
03:09:01,315 --> 03:09:03,817
county separate from east county.

3359
03:09:03,817 --> 03:09:05,919
A combined east and west partnership.

3360
03:09:05,919 --> 03:09:10,224
That would be countywide. Or even perhaps part of a

3361
03:09:10,224 --> 03:09:13,961
broader regional model. There has been, Erica's been

3362
03:09:13,961 --> 03:09:16,930
talking a lot to. Neighboring counties

3363
03:09:16,930 --> 03:09:21,730
specifically in Placer. Placer. And there has been

3364
03:09:21,802 --> 03:09:23,904
some conversation about creating a

3365
03:09:23,904 --> 03:09:26,304
regional. Co-ed model where

3366
03:09:30,611 --> 03:09:32,312
you would have one at the top that would have

3367
03:09:32,312 --> 03:09:35,683
several branches similar to how Tahoe Truckee operates now.

3368
03:09:35,683 --> 03:09:37,683
So this

3369
03:09:41,121 --> 03:09:43,424
this, this question makes it a little bit premature for

3370
03:09:43,424 --> 03:09:44,525
us to recruit somebody into the permanent halftime

3371
03:09:44,525 --> 03:09:47,494
structure, which we had defi, which.

3372
03:09:47,494 --> 03:09:49,129
Defined with that, which we had defined before, before we

3373
03:09:49,129 --> 03:09:50,731
know that it's ultimately the right structure.

3374
03:09:50,731 --> 03:09:53,670
So, but at the same time, going into fire season, going

3375
03:09:53,670 --> 03:09:56,670
into an El Nino winter.

3376
03:10:01,175 --> 03:10:04,611
The work that is required now is to get the

3377
03:10:04,611 --> 03:10:07,648
partners back in action. We need to reconvene our partners.

3378
03:10:07,648 --> 03:10:09,783
Partners confirm those contacts and capabilities.

3379
03:10:09,783 --> 03:10:10,918
Activate the function teams, establish communications and

3380
03:10:10,918 --> 03:10:13,318
public agency interface protocols.

3381
03:10:13,921 --> 03:10:15,255
Protocols and begin some of those training and exercises.

3382
03:10:15,255 --> 03:10:18,855
Exercises. So we're there for proposing.

3383
03:10:19,930 --> 03:10:22,596
A limited time activation and implementation phase.

3384
03:10:22,596 --> 03:10:24,640
That would move the blueprint from being on paper and

3385
03:10:24,640 --> 03:10:26,640
on a shelf.

3386
03:10:29,236 --> 03:10:30,437
To practice while giving us real-time operating experience

3387
03:10:30,437 --> 03:10:33,607
from which to design the durable model.

3388
03:10:33,607 --> 03:10:35,142
So these two tracks will proceed together.

3389
03:10:35,142 --> 03:10:39,379
We'll activate the Western Nevada county network now.

3390
03:10:39,379 --> 03:10:42,216
While exploring the shared systems, communication training.

3391
03:10:42,216 --> 03:10:46,220
Capacity staffing and funding. For whatever the next model is

3392
03:10:46,220 --> 03:10:48,220
to come.

3393
03:10:53,427 --> 03:10:54,595
So the structure should emerge from function, geography

3394
03:10:54,595 --> 03:10:56,830
and relationships, and activation gives us this

3395
03:10:56,830 --> 03:10:59,566
evidence to make that decision. Well, the foundation

3396
03:10:59,566 --> 03:11:02,236
has already. Assembled the resources to

3397
03:11:02,236 --> 03:11:03,537
begin this phase. Without any additional county

3398
03:11:03,537 --> 03:11:05,537
funding request.

3399
03:11:08,942 --> 03:11:13,142
And we will be, we have assembled.

3400
03:11:17,518 --> 03:11:20,554
40 to $50,000 as an estimated cost of the activation

3401
03:11:20,554 --> 03:11:24,258
and implementation phase. We have $35,000 continuing over.

3402
03:11:24,258 --> 03:11:26,727
From the league of California community foundation's grant.

3403
03:11:26,727 --> 03:11:27,628
We've received our first corporate sponsor

3404
03:11:27,628 --> 03:11:29,963
through pioneer. Energy. So a big shout out to

3405
03:11:29,963 --> 03:11:33,400
pioneer energy. And we will continue to do

3406
03:11:33,400 --> 03:11:36,400
fundraising for adorable COAD capacity.

3407
03:11:39,106 --> 03:11:42,142
So again, no county funding is requested and grass valley

3408
03:11:42,142 --> 03:11:44,178
staff are exploring also. $10,000 under this revised

3409
03:11:44,178 --> 03:11:47,778
scope through their measure B funding.

3410
03:11:51,985 --> 03:11:54,288
So, what we're asking the board to support today is

3411
03:11:54,288 --> 03:11:55,956
to recognize that C. Community readiness and is

3412
03:11:55,956 --> 03:11:58,525
an important. Part of wildfire

3413
03:11:58,525 --> 03:12:01,610
resilience, infrastructure. Alongside of physical

3414
03:12:01,610 --> 03:12:03,610
risk reduction.

3415
03:12:06,333 --> 03:12:08,969
To participate with the COAD network, as it moves from

3416
03:12:08,969 --> 03:12:10,969
blueprint to practice.

3417
03:12:14,975 --> 03:12:15,843
And to help build and shape the durable

3418
03:12:15,843 --> 03:12:18,679
east-west countywide or, or broader regional

3419
03:12:18,679 --> 03:12:21,582
staffing and funding model. So the counties and the good

3420
03:12:21,582 --> 03:12:23,317
news is that the county's investment has built

3421
03:12:23,317 --> 03:12:24,651
this network. And that our community

3422
03:12:24,651 --> 03:12:26,651
partners are ready.

3423
03:12:30,624 --> 03:12:32,926
And the next step is to activate it. And with

3424
03:12:32,926 --> 03:12:35,620
that, we'll open it up for questions. Great. Thank you.

3425
03:12:35,620 --> 03:12:39,466
Thanks for the presentation. So at this time, I will ask my

3426
03:12:39,466 --> 03:12:41,201
colleagues if they have any questions or

3427
03:12:41,201 --> 03:12:43,170
comments in regards, we're not asking there's no action

3428
03:12:43,170 --> 03:12:47,370
today, other than to accept. The presentation.

3429
03:12:48,976 --> 03:12:50,811
I appreciate the fact that we put something in your

3430
03:12:50,811 --> 03:12:54,411
contract and you, you did it.

3431
03:12:57,840 --> 03:12:59,586
And that sometimes is, is difficult to navigate. So I'm

3432
03:12:59,586 --> 03:13:01,121
happy to see that you've come this far with.

3433
03:13:01,121 --> 03:13:03,521
The the whole process.

3434
03:13:04,797 --> 03:13:07,660
So ask my colleagues if they have any questions and

3435
03:13:07,660 --> 03:13:12,466
move forward. Rob, any questions? No, thank you, Sue.

3436
03:13:20,445 --> 03:13:21,580
No more questions, but it was interesting to watch your

3437
03:13:21,580 --> 03:13:22,714
work and how you dived into our little communities and

3438
03:13:22,714 --> 03:13:23,482
included them in this. And I think.

3439
03:13:23,482 --> 03:13:24,516
That was really important. You were part of it. So

3440
03:13:24,516 --> 03:13:25,450
I want to thank you, Erica. You did a great

3441
03:13:25,450 --> 03:13:29,650
job on that. You really made impressions.

3442
03:13:31,173 --> 03:13:32,541
Especially like in our little communities, like north

3443
03:13:32,541 --> 03:13:33,709
San, Juan and pin valley, and some of

3444
03:13:33,709 --> 03:13:35,511
the places that you came and worked. So I just

3445
03:13:35,511 --> 03:13:39,548
want to thank you for the outreach that you did.

3446
03:13:39,548 --> 03:13:40,549
Thank you, Heidi. Yeah, thank you for an update

3447
03:13:40,549 --> 03:13:43,180
on this. It sounds like.

3448
03:13:43,180 --> 03:13:48,418
You know, obviously something that every community could use.

3449
03:13:51,326 --> 03:13:53,929
And maybe needs, I, I appreciate the update. I think

3450
03:13:53,929 --> 03:13:57,529
at this point I would wanna.

3451
03:13:58,967 --> 03:14:03,138
Understand better with our OES. I think we've spoken about

3452
03:14:03,138 --> 03:14:04,506
this before, and I asked if you'd coordinated with our

3453
03:14:04,506 --> 03:14:06,108
OES. I see. Some overlap. And so I'd wanna

3454
03:14:06,108 --> 03:14:08,777
make sure that that's not happening.

3455
03:14:08,777 --> 03:14:10,879
Really that would, what you're proposing here to me would

3456
03:14:10,879 --> 03:14:13,279
have to be seamless.

3457
03:14:15,851 --> 03:14:18,987
With our OES is on auto. Honestly, I would expect

3458
03:14:18,987 --> 03:14:20,189
a present. If a presentation was gonna be more.

3459
03:14:20,189 --> 03:14:21,990
About what's. I don't know, more detail. I would want

3460
03:14:21,990 --> 03:14:26,795
OES to be a part of it. And I'd wanna know that this

3461
03:14:26,795 --> 03:14:29,598
is on our list of priorities for OES as well

3462
03:14:29,598 --> 03:14:31,733
to spend time. Supporting if that's what you

3463
03:14:31,733 --> 03:14:33,733
ultimately asking.

3464
03:14:39,107 --> 03:14:40,676
I wonder if you, I think we'd also, this is

3465
03:14:40,676 --> 03:14:43,245
maybe an aside, but we talked Christina at a point

3466
03:14:43,245 --> 03:14:44,460
at some point about having somebody.

3467
03:14:44,460 --> 03:14:46,480
You know, a professional from the county sitting on your

3468
03:14:46,480 --> 03:14:48,717
board. So that you are closer

3469
03:14:48,717 --> 03:14:51,530
connected to what's happening at

3470
03:14:51,530 --> 03:14:54,323
the county and can. Do this kind of work more

3471
03:14:54,323 --> 03:14:57,359
integrated right from the get-go. I wonder if

3472
03:14:57,359 --> 03:14:59,359
that's happened.

3473
03:15:00,295 --> 03:15:01,330
We have Kimberly Parker has, has been designated as

3474
03:15:01,330 --> 03:15:04,366
our board liaison and Kimberly attended

3475
03:15:04,366 --> 03:15:06,502
our last. Board meeting and she will be

3476
03:15:06,502 --> 03:15:08,902
attending regular board meetings.

3477
03:15:09,304 --> 03:15:15,430
Meetings and she and I are in con in contact.

3478
03:15:15,430 --> 03:15:19,281
Barry regularly. Right. But she's but not a board member.

3479
03:15:19,281 --> 03:15:20,249
Actually. She is not a board member. So I met

3480
03:15:20,249 --> 03:15:21,350
with the board to make. A formal request on behalf of

3481
03:15:21,350 --> 03:15:22,718
the board's supervisors. Mm-hmm to have a county senior

3482
03:15:22,718 --> 03:15:25,153
executive sit on the board.

3483
03:15:25,153 --> 03:15:26,622
The feedback that we received. If they were interested, they

3484
03:15:26,622 --> 03:15:29,558
would have to go through the board process.

3485
03:15:29,558 --> 03:15:30,859
But there's reluctance from their board to have

3486
03:15:30,859 --> 03:15:34,596
county participation. And that it would have to be

3487
03:15:34,596 --> 03:15:35,797
vetted just like anyone else would be vetted

3488
03:15:35,797 --> 03:15:38,197
going onto the board.

3489
03:15:43,710 --> 03:15:44,806
Correct? Mm-hmm correct. Okay. Yeah. I, I mean, I've

3490
03:15:44,806 --> 03:15:47,590
raised it before. I'd be very interested. I think the

3491
03:15:47,590 --> 03:15:47,993
work you're doing is gonna be critical.

3492
03:15:47,993 --> 03:15:50,262
To the county and we're involved with so many ways,

3493
03:15:50,262 --> 03:15:56,201
like some of the things you're suggesting here that providing.

3494
03:15:56,201 --> 03:15:58,737
Housing and food like, and the, all those nonprofits, many

3495
03:15:58,737 --> 03:15:59,988
of those nonprofits get grants from us to do exactly

3496
03:15:59,988 --> 03:16:02,958
that. So there's have to be a lot of

3497
03:16:02,958 --> 03:16:06,778
work done so that it's seamless and not.

3498
03:16:06,778 --> 03:16:07,746
Overlap and that it's coordinated well. And so

3499
03:16:07,746 --> 03:16:11,330
need to be on a list of priorities that that

3500
03:16:11,330 --> 03:16:12,801
needs to happen. So it's a very exciting.

3501
03:16:12,801 --> 03:16:15,454
Project. I, I would definitely want to have more conversation

3502
03:16:15,454 --> 03:16:17,322
internally if we were. De, depending on what it is

3503
03:16:17,322 --> 03:16:18,740
that you want us to do, what kind of sup,

3504
03:16:18,740 --> 03:16:19,741
you know, involvement you'd want from

3505
03:16:19,741 --> 03:16:21,741
us. Yeah.

3506
03:16:26,448 --> 03:16:27,816
Thanks. Thanks. Ready? Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for

3507
03:16:27,816 --> 03:16:31,436
continuing forward and doing all the legwork and

3508
03:16:31,436 --> 03:16:34,539
research work and. From the east county side, I.

3509
03:16:34,539 --> 03:16:36,291
Was there from ground zero when Arco ad was tilted

3510
03:16:36,291 --> 03:16:37,359
up and spent a lot of time with Paul, our

3511
03:16:37,359 --> 03:16:39,294
previous OES director. Kind of talking about the east

3512
03:16:39,294 --> 03:16:43,494
versus west and ho it all worked.

3513
03:16:46,868 --> 03:16:49,710
Had lots of conversations and have been involved in many

3514
03:16:49,710 --> 03:16:50,155
of those conversations in organizations for long, long

3515
03:16:50,155 --> 03:16:51,857
time. Just seeing how the east

3516
03:16:51,857 --> 03:16:54,159
county separated. From the county seat and how

3517
03:16:54,159 --> 03:16:57,159
we function when there's disasters.

3518
03:17:02,670 --> 03:17:03,168
Disasters. And it seems like, I mean, like the three

3519
03:17:03,168 --> 03:17:04,202
that come to mind are the, the frog lake avalanche

3520
03:17:04,202 --> 03:17:05,253
and then the Snowmageddon one and Snowmageddon two.

3521
03:17:05,253 --> 03:17:06,221
I forget the years, but we had like eight feet

3522
03:17:06,221 --> 03:17:07,289
of snow and you guys got four or something down

3523
03:17:07,289 --> 03:17:07,989
here. And I remember the COAD

3524
03:17:07,989 --> 03:17:10,542
being very. Activated and involved in

3525
03:17:10,542 --> 03:17:11,743
that. And it was always my understanding. The COAD was.

3526
03:17:11,743 --> 03:17:15,943
Essentially tilted up in east county because.

3527
03:17:20,752 --> 03:17:22,688
It was so hard during really difficult periods to get

3528
03:17:22,688 --> 03:17:24,940
OES services from west county to east county. So there

3529
03:17:24,940 --> 03:17:26,742
was a big conver community conversation about.

3530
03:17:26,742 --> 03:17:29,378
East versus west and the only, you know, the kind

3531
03:17:29,378 --> 03:17:30,862
of the set aside piece for east and west for me

3532
03:17:30,862 --> 03:17:33,365
was the COAD seemed like that model.

3533
03:17:33,365 --> 03:17:35,500
Freeze county that worked for east county, right? was

3534
03:17:35,500 --> 03:17:36,118
like, because some of those organizations are

3535
03:17:36,118 --> 03:17:38,420
strictly special. Use districts located directly

3536
03:17:38,420 --> 03:17:42,200
for the benefit of those communities.

3537
03:17:43,975 --> 03:17:46,280
That, that it wasn't countywide. And so there was a

3538
03:17:46,280 --> 03:17:47,290
very conscious effort to understand, should it be

3539
03:17:47,290 --> 03:17:51,829
countywide? Should it be, should it be west?

3540
03:17:52,918 --> 03:17:55,103
All I know is our COAD has functioned seamlessly and

3541
03:17:55,103 --> 03:17:57,406
been totally integral to county work. And I would echo

3542
03:17:57,406 --> 03:17:59,241
supervisor Hall's comments. I worked with Anne Rek hand in

3543
03:17:59,241 --> 03:18:01,241
hand in many.

3544
03:18:07,716 --> 03:18:11,336
Community difficult community periods. And so I think that it

3545
03:18:11,336 --> 03:18:12,237
can be a very supporting agency. I'd wanna

3546
03:18:12,237 --> 03:18:13,171
understand more about how we fit in with our

3547
03:18:13,171 --> 03:18:15,190
current OES offering. And it's always been desibed

3548
03:18:15,190 --> 03:18:16,525
to me. And I've kind of conveyed this to my

3549
03:18:16,525 --> 03:18:18,360
constituents that the county meets

3550
03:18:18,360 --> 03:18:21,546
unmet needs during certain periods. And some of, you know,

3551
03:18:21,546 --> 03:18:24,816
it changes. Changes over time, but when

3552
03:18:24,816 --> 03:18:25,967
there's reallyad stuff going on, it's like, how can the

3553
03:18:25,967 --> 03:18:27,102
county help meet or close the bridge front that

3554
03:18:27,102 --> 03:18:28,437
needs? And I think that's essentially what you're

3555
03:18:28,437 --> 03:18:31,560
offering us here with. The COAD right to do that and

3556
03:18:31,560 --> 03:18:31,923
connect it. In one more tiny pieces, the

3557
03:18:31,923 --> 03:18:33,792
more nonprofit communities you have.

3558
03:18:33,792 --> 03:18:39,792
And from my perspective, the more disparate and diffuse tha

3559
03:18:40,999 --> 03:18:42,868
Effort and help gets. And so I think it's great

3560
03:18:42,868 --> 03:18:44,803
when cos can bring people together and have one voice

3561
03:18:44,803 --> 03:18:45,620
coming back to people like the county.

3562
03:18:45,620 --> 03:18:47,389
The state, the fed partners, cuz I think when it

3563
03:18:47,389 --> 03:18:49,789
really hits the fan.

3564
03:18:52,644 --> 03:18:53,712
That's when, you know, you see federal and FEMA and

3565
03:18:53,712 --> 03:18:55,163
all these other organizations come in where we can really

3566
03:18:55,163 --> 03:18:56,998
have a benefit from having unified voice, cuz we're a

3567
03:18:56,998 --> 03:18:57,899
rural county. But again yet, I'm happy to

3568
03:18:57,899 --> 03:19:00,299
see the next steps.

3569
03:19:03,255 --> 03:19:04,623
Happy to support however we can, if that comes back,

3570
03:19:04,623 --> 03:19:06,575
but I'd like to see directly hoit integrates with

3571
03:19:06,575 --> 03:19:08,777
OES. Okay, thank you.

3572
03:19:08,777 --> 03:19:14,232
All right. Thank you. Well, thank you for the presentation.

3573
03:19:14,232 --> 03:19:16,284
I, I, you know, I think the COAD is a

3574
03:19:16,284 --> 03:19:19,884
great idea. I think the central.

3575
03:19:22,174 --> 03:19:23,275
Centralization of all the potential services that you

3576
03:19:23,275 --> 03:19:25,327
might need depending upon what the

3577
03:19:25,327 --> 03:19:27,929
saster is that we're looking at.

3578
03:19:27,929 --> 03:19:28,744
And just from. Personal experience. I

3579
03:19:28,744 --> 03:19:30,529
happened to be on scene a few years ago when the was

3580
03:19:30,529 --> 03:19:32,798
the fire. At the bread at the Everhart

3581
03:19:32,798 --> 03:19:37,598
hotel in downtown grass valley, it displaced 11 people.

3582
03:19:40,706 --> 03:19:43,342
People showed up. There was county folks there, there was

3583
03:19:43,342 --> 03:19:46,280
city people there, there was red cross and it was

3584
03:19:46,280 --> 03:19:49,231
very interesting. To me. Wow. The people's needs

3585
03:19:49,231 --> 03:19:51,384
were met. There could have been a more unifying

3586
03:19:51,384 --> 03:19:53,319
effort if it, if it had been one phone call.

3587
03:19:53,319 --> 03:19:54,820
To somebody from the COAD who could have put the

3588
03:19:54,820 --> 03:19:56,820
appropriate people there.

3589
03:20:00,760 --> 03:20:02,328
So, for example, the red cross folks that showed up,

3590
03:20:02,328 --> 03:20:04,330
I think, were from Yuba city or they weren't, they

3591
03:20:04,330 --> 03:20:08,530
weren't local and they were giving people.

3592
03:20:09,285 --> 03:20:11,771
Cards visa cards that they could use. You know, it

3593
03:20:11,771 --> 03:20:13,139
was like $300 I think is what they give. And

3594
03:20:13,139 --> 03:20:15,558
they said, this will be great for you. I'll hold

3595
03:20:15,558 --> 03:20:19,158
u. Over till your insurance cooks

3596
03:20:19,328 --> 03:20:21,781
in not understanding that that population of people who live

3597
03:20:21,781 --> 03:20:24,817
there have no insurance. And they were very frantic. If we

3598
03:20:24,817 --> 03:20:27,937
had had. Some of our local nonprofits

3599
03:20:27,937 --> 03:20:30,623
involved in that. I think the people could have had some

3600
03:20:30,623 --> 03:20:31,991
surances and the, you know, county staff handled it.

3601
03:20:31,991 --> 03:20:35,327
Great. The red, everybody. Did their jobs, but it was

3602
03:20:35,327 --> 03:20:36,679
very confusing foreople. So I really do understand the

3603
03:20:36,679 --> 03:20:38,748
need for having a more unified voice here. One

3604
03:20:38,748 --> 03:20:42,301
of the things that would be helpful.

3605
03:20:42,301 --> 03:20:44,337
When you say you have 42 agencies to show who

3606
03:20:44,337 --> 03:20:46,155
those are, so that we have a better understanding of

3607
03:20:46,155 --> 03:20:48,624
who you're working with. Is it the food bank? Is

3608
03:20:48,624 --> 03:20:49,392
it. Red cross, you know, is it the

3609
03:20:49,392 --> 03:20:50,626
churches, you know, who is involved with this? And

3610
03:20:50,626 --> 03:20:52,745
then also helping direct. Potential for more

3611
03:20:52,745 --> 03:20:56,945
involvement. If we see that there's some.

3612
03:21:00,360 --> 03:21:01,354
Agencies that have been left out that we think would

3613
03:21:01,354 --> 03:21:02,355
be a valuable part of that. So just as a

3614
03:21:02,355 --> 03:21:04,190
little bit more information, obviously work in progress.

3615
03:21:04,190 --> 03:21:06,709
I think. Supervisors Hall's point about

3616
03:21:06,709 --> 03:21:09,478
really working with OES and. Understanding, you know that

3617
03:21:09,478 --> 03:21:11,478
there's not duplication.

3618
03:21:14,667 --> 03:21:16,552
That you're complimenting the work that the unty is doing,

3619
03:21:16,552 --> 03:21:17,853
cuz ultimately we are responsible for the safety

3620
03:21:17,853 --> 03:21:20,840
of our constituency here, law.

3621
03:21:20,840 --> 03:21:22,975
forcement is responsible for public safety measures. And

3622
03:21:22,975 --> 03:21:26,575
as, as is the fire protection.

3623
03:21:31,183 --> 03:21:32,118
So making sure we're coordinating all of that

3624
03:21:32,118 --> 03:21:32,985
with the nonprofits would be really

3625
03:21:32,985 --> 03:21:34,854
important. I think that's, I mean,

3626
03:21:34,854 --> 03:21:38,374
that is the, the great, and I'll, I'll let.

3627
03:21:38,374 --> 03:21:39,375
Erica speak because Erica convened the steering

3628
03:21:39,375 --> 03:21:41,227
committee that included a lot of the partners that

3629
03:21:41,227 --> 03:21:46,270
you're talking about. So wouldn't yeah. So Alex.

3630
03:21:46,315 --> 03:21:47,249
Keel toll. And Paul Cummings are both on our

3631
03:21:47,249 --> 03:21:48,551
steering committee and there's a section of the

3632
03:21:48,551 --> 03:21:53,951
COAD blueprint that clearly outlines the roles and responsi.

3633
03:21:54,240 --> 03:21:55,307
Responsibilities of OES, the co-ed and the nonprofit

3634
03:21:55,307 --> 03:21:58,594
and faith-based partners. And regarding the 42

3635
03:21:58,594 --> 03:22:03,749
participants, they're all list. Listed in the blueprint, but I

3636
03:22:03,749 --> 03:22:05,484
see this as an evolving organization. I'm

3637
03:22:05,484 --> 03:22:08,700
still talking to new ganizations that I

3638
03:22:08,700 --> 03:22:09,380
wasn't able to initially connect.

3639
03:22:09,380 --> 03:22:11,257
With the COAD will continue to grow and evolve and

3640
03:22:11,257 --> 03:22:12,658
incorporate new members. As we connect with them.

3641
03:22:12,658 --> 03:22:14,627
Great. Go ahead. So, how does your connection

3642
03:22:14,627 --> 03:22:17,213
work? Like with R two 11 connect?

3643
03:22:17,213 --> 03:22:19,715
The position would be housed within.

3644
03:22:19,715 --> 03:22:21,715
Connecting point. Okay.

3645
03:22:25,700 --> 03:22:27,560
And Rarick was the, she was an employee of connecting

3646
03:22:27,560 --> 03:22:28,557
point. So it would be a similar position.

3647
03:22:28,557 --> 03:22:33,779
Okay. Great. So at this point, just to be clear,

3648
03:22:33,779 --> 03:22:36,365
we, you know, due to this, like where should, should

3649
03:22:36,365 --> 03:22:37,666
it be a collaborative model? There's still some work that

3650
03:22:37,666 --> 03:22:41,866
needs to be done in that area.

3651
03:22:44,560 --> 03:22:48,177
So we're, we'll continue to move forward in that, in

3652
03:22:48,177 --> 03:22:49,144
that area so that we can define what this will

3653
03:22:49,144 --> 03:22:50,579
look like. In 27, 28.

3654
03:22:50,579 --> 03:22:51,564
Going forward. So the communitfoundation will

3655
03:22:51,564 --> 03:22:55,764
carry the COAD. Through a contract structure.

3656
03:23:01,907 --> 03:23:03,375
Until until 27, 28. So we'll be talking, hopefully

3657
03:23:03,375 --> 03:23:05,375
convening local jurisdictions.

3658
03:23:09,698 --> 03:23:10,799
Jurisdictions and potentially private philanthropy, et

3659
03:23:10,799 --> 03:23:12,351
cetera. How can we actually fund a position?

3660
03:23:12,351 --> 03:23:13,285
But we need to make sure that we understand.

3661
03:23:13,285 --> 03:23:14,320
Whether that should, since there has been a lot of

3662
03:23:14,320 --> 03:23:18,520
calls for. Potentially there should be a

3663
03:23:18,674 --> 03:23:23,950
regional COAD we're gonna pause on actually like.

3664
03:23:23,950 --> 03:23:25,898
Putting that manager position at two 11, but eventually that

3665
03:23:25,898 --> 03:23:28,898
position would alssit at two 11.

3666
03:23:32,238 --> 03:23:34,406
Yeah, Placer, Yuba and P plums county have all expressed

3667
03:23:34,406 --> 03:23:35,975
interest in the regional model since we're neighboring

3668
03:23:35,975 --> 03:23:38,294
counties. So that's something to explore.

3669
03:23:38,294 --> 03:23:38,994
Still so I, I like the, I like

3670
03:23:38,994 --> 03:23:40,994
the regional.

3671
03:23:47,570 --> 03:23:48,571
Effort too. I mean, we saw, we've seen that in

3672
03:23:48,571 --> 03:23:49,538
our community with the fires that border Nevada

3673
03:23:49,538 --> 03:23:51,590
county, Placer county, again, there's a need

3674
03:23:51,590 --> 03:23:54,360
for everybody to work together. Placer county has some

3675
03:23:54,360 --> 03:23:56,262
different resources that we don't have.

3676
03:23:56,262 --> 03:23:58,280
So if we can leverage those types of resources, as

3677
03:23:58,280 --> 03:24:00,950
well as them. You know, leveraging ours,

3678
03:24:00,950 --> 03:24:02,701
whether that's the fairgrounds for animals

3679
03:24:02,701 --> 03:24:08,230
or, you know, big open space for people to.

3680
03:24:08,230 --> 03:24:10,860
Be in, I think there's a, there's a lot of

3681
03:24:10,860 --> 03:24:12,444
things that we can work gether with everybody on. So

3682
03:24:12,444 --> 03:24:15,915
do you have another comment, Heidi?

3683
03:24:15,915 --> 03:24:17,900
Yeah, I think, Ihink that would be worth another

3684
03:24:17,900 --> 03:24:20,569
conversation too, because I love, always love the idea of

3685
03:24:20,569 --> 03:24:21,787
regional and collaboration. When it mes to something

3686
03:24:21,787 --> 03:24:24,560
like this, I'm. I'm cautious. I mean, I've

3687
03:24:24,560 --> 03:24:25,524
been involved with emergency response

3688
03:24:25,524 --> 03:24:29,124
since I was at E P.

3689
03:24:32,640 --> 03:24:33,532
And then now watching us do it here at a

3690
03:24:33,532 --> 03:24:35,668
local level and that, and if you've been out like

3691
03:24:35,668 --> 03:24:36,985
you, like you were at least if you've beeout

3692
03:24:36,985 --> 03:24:38,487
to an event when it happens, the amount of coordination

3693
03:24:38,487 --> 03:24:44,760
that is needed between the fire department search and rescue.

3694
03:24:44,760 --> 03:24:47,529
The Sheriff's department, R O E S is, is unbelievable.

3695
03:24:47,529 --> 03:24:48,964
I mean, we have spent money. Helping them get equipment so

3696
03:24:48,964 --> 03:24:53,385
they could talk to each other that basic right.

3697
03:24:53,385 --> 03:24:56,221
And it's just so complicated and the need for immediate

3698
03:24:56,221 --> 03:24:59,308
information. And. You know, under the, the

3699
03:24:59,308 --> 03:25:02,394
potential for confusion is so huge.

3700
03:25:02,394 --> 03:25:03,562
So I, and I think I could see you guys

3701
03:25:03,562 --> 03:25:05,898
coming in. A little after the fact right.

3702
03:25:05,898 --> 03:25:08,298
To sort of okay.

3703
03:25:13,806 --> 03:25:14,840
They're doing all the coordination. Now we're here

3704
03:25:14,840 --> 03:25:16,408
to provide services or whatever. I mean,

3705
03:25:16,408 --> 03:25:19,194
I, that would , how do you do that on a regional

3706
03:25:19,194 --> 03:25:22,815
level when like, a fire or disaster is

3707
03:25:22,815 --> 03:25:25,150
typically very localized and the

3708
03:25:25,150 --> 03:25:26,251
coordination is already very complicated because of the

3709
03:25:26,251 --> 03:25:28,251
different fire units.

3710
03:25:28,671 --> 03:25:30,673
The local on the state and the different, you know,

3711
03:25:30,673 --> 03:25:32,673
the Sheriff's office.

3712
03:25:35,394 --> 03:25:37,680
So that just makes me nervous. yeah, but I'd

3713
03:25:37,680 --> 03:25:39,548
love to hear, you know, how other people do it

3714
03:25:39,548 --> 03:25:41,150
to see how that works. Yeah. I think it'll be,

3715
03:25:41,150 --> 03:25:42,401
it'll be. Great to explore what that

3716
03:25:42,401 --> 03:25:43,869
model might look like. And I also wanna say that, you

3717
03:25:43,869 --> 03:25:47,289
know, our, our job is not to get involved.

3718
03:25:47,289 --> 03:25:48,223
In the coordination between OES and fire and

3719
03:25:48,223 --> 03:25:50,826
sheriff, that's not our role at all at all.

3720
03:25:50,826 --> 03:25:53,826
Our role is to activate.

3721
03:25:58,400 --> 03:26:00,840
A a broader community network that would be helpful. So

3722
03:26:00,840 --> 03:26:02,825
that information is going down and up and it's coming

3723
03:26:02,825 --> 03:26:04,994
through one sort of centralized. Sort of, you know,

3724
03:26:04,994 --> 03:26:09,615
hub as opposed to all of that sort of like, sort

3725
03:26:09,615 --> 03:26:16,215
of piling up on top of OES or on top of.

3726
03:26:17,390 --> 03:26:20,159
Of sheriff or fire. So I think that that's, that's

3727
03:26:20,159 --> 03:26:22,812
really important. And the other thing I want to mention

3728
03:26:22,812 --> 03:26:24,130
too, is that, you know, oh, yes. OES and, and emergency

3729
03:26:24,130 --> 03:26:25,748
response is not necessarily set up

3730
03:26:25,748 --> 03:26:27,433
to deal with long-term consequences.

3731
03:26:27,433 --> 03:26:28,534
And the community foundation, both through the Nevada

3732
03:26:28,534 --> 03:26:30,534
county relief fund.

3733
03:26:31,370 --> 03:26:33,322
And this effort as well co-eds are very active.

3734
03:26:33,322 --> 03:26:39,211
Post-disaster and can be active. In that critical period of one.

3735
03:26:39,211 --> 03:26:42,811
To several years. I know that.

3736
03:26:45,901 --> 03:26:49,221
We were dealing with the river fire for four, four

3737
03:26:49,221 --> 03:26:50,823
years out. We were still actually.

3738
03:26:50,823 --> 03:26:56,823
Granting funds to help people who were, who were struggling.

3739
03:26:59,331 --> 03:27:02,284
With that. So I think that's other also too, there's

3740
03:27:02,284 --> 03:27:03,419
the, the thing that happens immediately, but then

3741
03:27:03,419 --> 03:27:04,887
there's the recovery period. And I

3742
03:27:04,887 --> 03:27:05,955
think that. Is the promise of a community

3743
03:27:05,955 --> 03:27:09,342
foundation that is active in this space.

3744
03:27:09,342 --> 03:27:12,161
Is primarily around, you know, is really strongly in that

3745
03:27:12,161 --> 03:27:13,329
covery stage as well. Yeah, that I see a role for

3746
03:27:13,329 --> 03:27:15,329
that as well.

3747
03:27:18,817 --> 03:27:21,353
And just, and that on that you would then have

3748
03:27:21,353 --> 03:27:26,153
to have someone really familiar with state anfederal.

3749
03:27:27,459 --> 03:27:28,727
Emergency management fund issues. I mean, that's like

3750
03:27:28,727 --> 03:27:31,163
a full-time job at many peoples cuz that's

3751
03:27:31,163 --> 03:27:33,480
where a lot of that money would be coming

3752
03:27:33,480 --> 03:27:34,283
from and dealing with. The bureaucracy. So that's

3753
03:27:34,283 --> 03:27:36,151
another skillset that you would need

3754
03:27:36,151 --> 03:27:39,751
to have. In-house. Great. All right.

3755
03:27:39,772 --> 03:27:41,774
So I will open it up. If there's anybody in

3756
03:27:41,774 --> 03:27:43,225
the audience who would like to speak on this.

3757
03:27:43,225 --> 03:27:45,225
Public comment. No.

3758
03:27:50,850 --> 03:27:54,403
Okay, we will close public com. Sorry to interrupt. We

3759
03:27:54,403 --> 03:27:56,172
do have one call. Oh, okay. Oh, great. Thanks. See,

3760
03:27:56,172 --> 03:28:00,726
thank you. Go ahead and take the collar.

3761
03:28:00,726 --> 03:28:03,646
Hello, my name is Pamela Rosada. Can you hear me?

3762
03:28:03,646 --> 03:28:07,846
Yes, we can hear you. Go ahead.

3763
03:28:12,171 --> 03:28:13,355
Excellent. I'mn RN in a public health nurse and

3764
03:28:13,355 --> 03:28:15,257
also the founder of the San Juan Ridge community coalition,

3765
03:28:15,257 --> 03:28:16,492
a grassroots collaborative with serves as a.

3766
03:28:16,492 --> 03:28:18,244
Communication portal focused on coordinating actities.

3767
03:28:18,244 --> 03:28:20,346
In support of health and wellbeing on the Ridge.

3768
03:28:20,346 --> 03:28:23,766
So all residents can thrive. Our coalition includes.

3769
03:28:23,766 --> 03:28:24,834
Includes so many service providers, so many

3770
03:28:24,834 --> 03:28:27,834
counting offices. We've helped coordinate

3771
03:28:28,888 --> 03:28:29,889
things. Like I think the first project

3772
03:28:29,889 --> 03:28:32,775
we worked on was with supervisor.

3773
03:28:32,775 --> 03:28:35,244
Hook and we helped get the crosswalk in downtown north

3774
03:28:35,244 --> 03:28:36,245
San Juan. We coordinate back to school

3775
03:28:36,245 --> 03:28:39,845
night every year. That feeds and

3776
03:28:44,153 --> 03:28:45,521
serves over a hundred meals and this year gave away

3777
03:28:45,521 --> 03:28:46,755
75 backpacks. So school-aged children from kindergarten

3778
03:28:46,755 --> 03:28:49,375
to college. We also helped.

3779
03:28:49,375 --> 03:28:50,743
Coordinate the harmony health plan that now comes up onto

3780
03:28:50,743 --> 03:28:52,743
the Ridge.

3781
03:28:57,883 --> 03:29:00,719
Once a week to provide primary healthcare services. I tell

3782
03:29:00,719 --> 03:29:02,188
you all of that by way of letting you know

3783
03:29:02,188 --> 03:29:03,772
that I work deeply with th community. Many of our

3784
03:29:03,772 --> 03:29:04,874
members do. We are a part of an existing

3785
03:29:04,874 --> 03:29:06,642
coalition that does incredible work and we've seen

3786
03:29:06,642 --> 03:29:12,420
the powers of that kind of collaboration can bring.

3787
03:29:12,848 --> 03:29:14,583
There were a few members of the coalition involved in

3788
03:29:14,583 --> 03:29:15,818
the early planning processes run by the community

3789
03:29:15,818 --> 03:29:18,370
foundation for the co-ed. A I am here to

3790
03:29:18,370 --> 03:29:19,738
express the C. Coalition support for the

3791
03:29:19,738 --> 03:29:24,360
implementation of the co. Community does at level

3792
03:29:24,360 --> 03:29:26,962
disaster strikes. First responders, both rescue

3793
03:29:26,962 --> 03:29:29,810
and financially focused are invaluable tthe community.

3794
03:29:29,810 --> 03:29:30,683
And they provide the backbone of support for the families

3795
03:29:30,683 --> 03:29:32,484
and individuals have impacted. As time passes and the initial

3796
03:29:32,484 --> 03:29:34,970
disaster fades. First responders focused on

3797
03:29:34,970 --> 03:29:36,970
rescue and recovery.

3798
03:29:42,945 --> 03:29:43,946
Having fulfilled their missions shift their focus

3799
03:29:43,946 --> 03:29:45,948
away from daily support while financial first

3800
03:29:45,948 --> 03:29:49,680
responders recede into the depths of

3801
03:29:49,680 --> 03:29:51,300
bureaucracy. Often leaving residents more

3802
03:29:51,300 --> 03:29:53,956
fully in reco, more fully in recovery and rebuild mode to

3803
03:29:53,956 --> 03:29:57,292
fend for themselves. This is where the presence of

3804
03:29:57,292 --> 03:29:59,411
a co-ed that can support residents through the

3805
03:29:59,411 --> 03:30:01,680
recovery and building phase. Becomes invaluable to

3806
03:30:01,680 --> 03:30:03,980
our community. People whoave no

3807
03:30:03,980 --> 03:30:05,734
comprehension of how to. Access certain levels

3808
03:30:05,734 --> 03:30:08,387
of services. rvices can be

3809
03:30:08,387 --> 03:30:11,387
incredibly helped. By educated and

3810
03:30:15,744 --> 03:30:18,464
aware members of a co-ed that can help them connect

3811
03:30:18,464 --> 03:30:22,640
with the services that they need.

3812
03:30:23,986 --> 03:30:26,955
This actions action of having a co-ed manager and a

3813
03:30:26,955 --> 03:30:28,700
collaborative already in existence that will continue

3814
03:30:28,700 --> 03:30:30,407
providing service as Christine.

3815
03:30:31,100 --> 03:30:35,764
Said for years post event is also invaluable to

3816
03:30:35,764 --> 03:30:38,650
the individual provider who it takes the pressure off of

3817
03:30:38,650 --> 03:30:40,386
them. They're not constantly being

3818
03:30:40,386 --> 03:30:43,489
indated with individual. Requests, because as a

3819
03:30:43,489 --> 03:30:45,708
presence of a co-ed manager to help manage flow and assist

3820
03:30:45,708 --> 03:30:48,377
residents in making the connections

3821
03:30:48,377 --> 03:30:49,261
that they need. The services that they're,

3822
03:30:49,261 --> 03:30:50,796
that they're so badly needing after

3823
03:30:50,796 --> 03:30:54,396
a huge level. Community level disaster.

3824
03:30:56,585 --> 03:30:58,530
Right. So the stumbling, my words there. Thank you so

3825
03:30:58,530 --> 03:30:59,788
much for your time. And I'm really excited that you're

3826
03:30:59,788 --> 03:31:03,388
still talking out this. Thank you.

3827
03:31:03,642 --> 03:31:05,511
Any other calls or is that it? No other callers

3828
03:31:05,511 --> 03:31:09,111
chair. Okay. We'll close public comment.

3829
03:31:10,833 --> 03:31:13,585
And if the's no further discussion, I would ask for

3830
03:31:13,585 --> 03:31:15,988
a motion in a second to accept our presentation today.

3831
03:31:15,988 --> 03:31:18,507
So moved. Is there a sond? Second. All right. All those

3832
03:31:18,507 --> 03:31:22,107
in favor. Aye. Any opposed? Extensions.

3833
03:31:22,428 --> 03:31:24,428
All right.

3834
03:31:26,765 --> 03:31:28,250
Great. Well, thank you so much. We will look forward

3835
03:31:28,250 --> 03:31:31,250
to continued conversations. Thank you.

3836
03:31:31,954 --> 03:31:34,473
So that was our last item for this morning. We

3837
03:31:34,473 --> 03:31:37,843
are now going to. Recess for lunch and we will

3838
03:31:37,843 --> 03:31:39,345
be back in the chambers at one 30 for

3839
03:31:39,345 --> 03:31:41,345
afternoon session.

3840
03:32:05,921 --> 03:32:09,658
What people should not bring to the river.

3841
03:32:09,658 --> 03:32:14,396
Is alcohol, a barbecue, anything that has an open flame?

3842
03:32:14,396 --> 03:32:19,196
Any cutters that glass container that you're carrying.

3843
03:32:22,250 --> 03:32:23,318
Could very easily shatter on the rocks and becomes a

3844
03:32:23,318 --> 03:32:24,953
hazard for not only you, but other people at the

3845
03:32:24,953 --> 03:32:27,389
river. If you're coming to the river, that's wonderful. Enjoy

3846
03:32:27,389 --> 03:32:30,989
it. It's. It's an incredibly magical

3847
03:32:33,280 --> 03:32:36,231
place, but take all of the trash that you brought with

3848
03:32:36,231 --> 03:32:36,998
you. Everything that you brought,

3849
03:32:36,998 --> 03:32:40,202
bring that back out with you, odds are you're gonna.

3850
03:32:40,202 --> 03:32:41,236
See some bottles or a pan or something like that.

3851
03:32:41,236 --> 03:32:42,204
Take that with you. And please, please, please

3852
03:32:42,204 --> 03:32:44,604
pick up after your.

3853
03:32:46,308 --> 03:32:49,440
In addition to kind of picking up trash because of

3854
03:32:49,440 --> 03:32:51,613
aesthetic reasons. We're also really worried about trash,

3855
03:32:51,613 --> 03:32:52,647
you know, the plastics and things

3856
03:32:52,647 --> 03:32:54,449
like that. And also the dog waves for the

3857
03:32:54,449 --> 03:32:56,451
health of the environment, because if you

3858
03:32:56,451 --> 03:32:57,619
don't, it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad

3859
03:32:57,619 --> 03:32:58,887
for human health. It's bad for the health of

3860
03:32:58,887 --> 03:33:01,287
the environment. As well

3861
03:33:05,961 --> 03:33:08,361

3862
03:33:10,465 --> 03:33:12,465

Emergency alerts.

3864
03:33:30,180 --> 03:33:32,180
connecting point.

3865
03:33:53,410 --> 03:33:56,895
Nevada county alerts, Nevada. In Nevada county, densible

3866
03:33:56,895 --> 03:34:00,495

3867
03:34:09,341 --> 03:34:10,408
To preparing for wildfire season resilience takes to

3868
03:34:10,408 --> 03:34:11,126
prect what matters most.

3869
03:34:11,126 --> 03:34:15,326
We are all in this together. Learn

3870
03:34:15,480 --> 03:34:19,800
more@readynevadacounty.org. Slash defensible space.

3871
03:34:24,623 --> 03:34:25,590
So one of the major threats that we face here

3872
03:34:25,590 --> 03:34:28,760
in Nevada county is wildfire. And so while you're down

3873
03:34:28,760 --> 03:34:31,160
viting the Yuba river,

3874
03:34:39,254 --> 03:34:43,975
consider the fire threat know that on a red flag

3875
03:34:43,975 --> 03:34:45,277
day, especially a fast moving wildfire can get outta control.

3876
03:34:45,277 --> 03:34:46,678
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire.

3877
03:34:46,678 --> 03:34:47,946
That pushes all the way down the canyon and into

3878
03:34:47,946 --> 03:34:48,830
grasvalley in Nevada city. So this summer

3879
03:34:48,830 --> 03:34:49,764
we're encouraging folks to just be safe when

3880
03:34:49,764 --> 03:34:51,566
they're out there, please don't have BB.

3881
03:34:51,566 --> 03:34:52,667
Barbecues or campfires be careful when you're

3882
03:34:52,667 --> 03:34:54,219
disposing of. Cigarettes and other products

3883
03:34:54,219 --> 03:34:57,189
like that, that could start a fire.

3884
03:34:57,189 --> 03:34:59,374
Is when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

3885
03:34:59,374 --> 03:35:00,742
Know that while you're down here, your cell phone may

3886
03:35:00,742 --> 03:35:05,463
not work. We do have call boxes for you

3887
03:35:05,463 --> 03:35:09,663
to call out if there's a fire.

3888
03:35:09,718 --> 03:35:10,485
Should a fire occur in the canyon.

3889
03:35:10,485 --> 03:35:12,254
Being quickly away from it. And don't wait for us to.

3890
03:35:12,254 --> 03:35:16,608
Fly over. Don't wait for it. An engine companies.

3891
03:35:16,608 --> 03:35:19,940
If you see it, get away from it, move up

3892
03:35:19,940 --> 03:35:20,161
the canyon, move out of the way of it.

3893
03:35:20,161 --> 03:35:21,429
Because it's gonna be congested at the Trailhead,

3894
03:35:21,429 --> 03:35:23,829
trying to get out.

3895
03:35:49,190 --> 03:35:53,390
Know the parking lots here at the

3896
03:35:54,120 --> 03:35:57,120
Yuba river are very limited.

3897
03:36:00,468 --> 03:36:02,337
And obviously we don't have room for tons of people

3898
03:36:02,337 --> 03:36:03,555
here often. So people have to park othe side

3899
03:36:03,555 --> 03:36:05,256
of the highway and the highway here is an active

3900
03:36:05,256 --> 03:36:10,560
state highway. It's a vital artery to people

3901
03:36:13,531 --> 03:36:15,834
in three different counties.

3902
03:36:15,834 --> 03:36:16,768
When we have medical emergencies or any other

3903
03:36:16,768 --> 03:36:17,569
kind of emergencies looks to get in

3904
03:36:17,569 --> 03:36:18,787
these areas with fire apparatus and equipment. So to have that

3905
03:36:18,787 --> 03:36:22,924
ability to maneuver and to park and to get to somebody.

3906
03:36:22,924 --> 03:36:23,942
In need quickly is very important. Financial cost

3907
03:36:23,942 --> 03:36:25,610
for parking citations in the hundreds of

3908
03:36:25,610 --> 03:36:26,911
dollars, especially for these areas.

3909
03:36:26,911 --> 03:36:32,311
The county has enhanced some of the fines for.

3910
03:36:33,451 --> 03:36:34,486
Specific parking zones in this area. So it is very

3911
03:36:34,486 --> 03:36:35,420
expensive and it goes basically on, on your

3912
03:36:35,420 --> 03:36:36,554
vehicle registration. So if you don't end up paying

3913
03:36:36,554 --> 03:36:37,422
that parking citation, it's gonna end.

3914
03:36:37,422 --> 03:36:38,840
Up haunting you later on when you, when you pay

3915
03:36:38,840 --> 03:36:41,176
your fees with DMV. DMV. So on the weekends expect

3916
03:36:41,176 --> 03:36:42,577
long lines. Not a lot of parking. A lot

3917
03:36:42,577 --> 03:36:47,977
of people. A lot of foot traffic on the

3918
03:36:49,284 --> 03:36:50,185
roads would be very cautious when you're

3919
03:36:50,185 --> 03:36:51,419
driving down towards the river. And I think the biggest thing

3920
03:36:51,419 --> 03:36:53,838
is just to be patient.

3921
03:36:53,838 --> 03:36:58,143
To understand that it's gonna take time to actually park.

3922
03:36:58,143 --> 03:37:00,662
Safely walk downo the river and enjoy. So patience

3923
03:37:00,662 --> 03:37:05,462
is, is. Something and you have to bring.

3924
03:37:13,375 --> 03:37:14,359

joy. So patience is, is something you.

3929
03:37:29,102 --> 03:37:31,102
Have to bring

Be ready, Nevada county. We're all in this together.

3942
03:38:19,802 --> 03:38:23,402
The river gives us a challenge.

3943
03:38:26,609 --> 03:38:27,810
This year, particularly with the Spalding dam issues is that

3944
03:38:27,810 --> 03:38:28,745
the water is now as unregulated coming down

3945
03:38:28,745 --> 03:38:29,379
to south Yuba river.

3946
03:38:29,379 --> 03:38:31,447
So we can get fluctuations. Where you could be in the

3947
03:38:31,447 --> 03:38:35,647
middle of the river in the morning.

3948
03:38:45,528 --> 03:38:47,397
Standing on a rock high and dry. And then in

3949
03:38:47,397 --> 03:38:52,797
the afternoon, you can be knee deep in water.

3950
03:38:53,169 --> 03:38:54,137
And it all depends on how much heat they have.

3951
03:38:54,137 --> 03:38:55,271
That's gonna melt the snow. Aware that change can happen

3952
03:38:55,271 --> 03:38:56,272
in being aware when it's happened. Emily said,

3953
03:38:56,272 --> 03:38:58,308
so what you should do if you get caught in

3954
03:38:58,308 --> 03:38:59,242
the river is to make sure that you stay calm.

3955
03:38:59,242 --> 03:39:01,642
Make your feet forward.

3956
03:39:04,848 --> 03:39:07,160
Down river. That's the biggest part is getting your feet

3957
03:39:07,160 --> 03:39:08,117
down river. And if you have to flow, you go

3958
03:39:08,117 --> 03:39:09,619
with the flow of the river. Look out ahead of

3959
03:39:09,619 --> 03:39:11,287
you. Look for any ways. To escape, any access out any

3960
03:39:11,287 --> 03:39:13,687
tree branches hanging over.

3961
03:39:19,128 --> 03:39:23,233
Yell for help and stay calm. That's the number one

3962
03:39:23,233 --> 03:39:24,167
thing is stay calm. But the biggest part is

3963
03:39:24,167 --> 03:39:27,167
understand that what's important water.

3964
03:39:38,548 --> 03:39:39,982
Is in the river. The more risk there is the

3965
03:39:39,982 --> 03:39:42,850
more hazard there ever. And generally speaking, the

3966
03:39:42,850 --> 03:39:46,885
colder, the water is gonna be as well.

In addition to kind of picking up trash because of

3969
03:41:09,697 --> 03:41:10,864
aesthetic reasons. We're also really worried about trash,

3970
03:41:10,864 --> 03:41:11,732
you know, the plastics and the

3971
03:41:11,732 --> 03:41:12,800
environment, because. If you don't, it's just going

3972
03:41:12,800 --> 03:41:13,701
to end up in the river and it's bad for

3973
03:41:13,701 --> 03:41:15,469
human health. It's bad for the health of the

3974
03:41:15,469 --> 03:41:17,469

03:42:51,698 --> 03:42:56,498
a fast moving wildfire can get outta control.

3983
03:43:02,609 --> 03:43:03,744
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire

3984
03:43:03,744 --> 03:43:07,981
that pushes all the way down the canyon.

3985
03:43:07,981 --> 03:43:11,485
And into grass valley in Nevada city. So this summer

3986
03:43:11,485 --> 03:43:12,619
we're encouraging folks to just be safe. It's like that,

3987
03:43:12,619 --> 03:43:13,720
that could start a fire. Is when you're down here, pay

3988
03:43:13,720 --> 03:43:16,120
attention to your surroundings.

03:43:31,380 --> 03:43:31,905
All right, we're gonna get going for our

03:43:31,905 --> 03:43:34,305
afternoon session. Welcome back.

3993
03:43:34,708 --> 03:43:38,308
Our first item scheduled this afternoon.

3994
03:43:42,716 --> 03:43:45,619
Is the from planning director, public hearing to consider an

3995
03:43:45,619 --> 03:43:47,921
ordinance amendment to title 12 of the Nevada county code.

3996
03:43:47,921 --> 03:43:50,900
Accessory and junior accessory dwelling units.

3997
03:43:50,900 --> 03:43:52,426
Brian, Zach you're back. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Good

3998
03:43:52,426 --> 03:43:55,426
afternoon. Chair. Thank you, supervisors.

3999
03:43:57,898 --> 03:43:58,832
Supervisors, we're gonna go over a, a small

4000
03:43:58,832 --> 03:44:00,367
ordinance amendment based on some state

4001
03:44:00,367 --> 03:44:02,870
law requirements. And for the full presentation,

4002
03:44:02,870 --> 03:44:07,700
I'll turn it over to Zachary Rubal.

4003
03:44:10,477 --> 03:44:12,646
Thank you, director fossa. And thank you for having us

4004
03:44:12,646 --> 03:44:15,649
here again today. I'm Zachary Rubal, associate planner, and a

4005
03:44:15,649 --> 03:44:16,917
project planner for the. Ad ordinance amendment in

4006
03:44:16,917 --> 03:44:19,917
front of the board today.

4007
03:44:21,421 --> 03:44:22,689
It's a little bit of background about this. So on

4008
03:44:22,689 --> 03:44:23,724
October 8th, 2025, the planning department received

4009
03:44:23,724 --> 03:44:27,694
an email from H C D Wanda to review.

4010
03:44:27,694 --> 03:44:31,894
The county's current, a D U ordinance.

4011
03:44:32,132 --> 03:44:33,634
And so then the planning department responded back to H

4012
03:44:33,634 --> 03:44:34,735
C, D and provided adopted ordinance 25 29 in ordinance

4013
03:44:34,735 --> 03:44:37,735
24 62, the two most recently adopted.

4014
03:44:38,710 --> 03:44:41,642
ADU and J AU ordinances. Ordinances. And then through

4015
03:44:41,642 --> 03:44:42,876
that, there was one MI minor non-compliance that was found

4016
03:44:42,876 --> 03:44:45,179
regarding ADUs on parcels with multi-family

4017
03:44:45,179 --> 03:44:48,179
dwellings. Dwellings. So the proposed

4018
03:44:49,650 --> 03:44:52,219
amendment includes minor revisions required to

4019
03:44:52,219 --> 03:44:53,253
achieve statutory compliance with state ADU law in

4020
03:44:53,253 --> 03:44:55,422
regards to detached ADUs.

4021
03:44:55,422 --> 03:44:59,622
ADUs on multi-family lots. The Nevada county.

4022
03:45:00,761 --> 03:45:02,496
Code currently allows for two detached ADUs per lot with

4023
03:45:02,496 --> 03:45:04,932
a multi-family dwelling while state ADU law allows up to

4024
03:45:04,932 --> 03:45:07,670
eight detached ADUs per lot with a multi-family dwelling.

4025
03:45:07,670 --> 03:45:08,835
So this amendment will amend the Nevada county code to

4026
03:45:08,835 --> 03:45:12,435
be consistent with state ADU law.

4027
03:45:13,740 --> 03:45:15,375
So the proposed project was found to be exempt from

4028
03:45:15,375 --> 03:45:16,443
an environmental review pursuant to section 1 50 61

4029
03:45:16,443 --> 03:45:20,514
of C Q. Due to the fact that the

4030
03:45:20,514 --> 03:45:21,948
amendment would not result in any physical change to the

4031
03:45:21,948 --> 03:45:25,152
environment and any future. Development pursuant to the

4032
03:45:25,152 --> 03:45:26,687
legislation will be subject to environmental

4033
03:45:26,687 --> 03:45:28,121
review, pursuant to C E Q. At the planning

4034
03:45:28,121 --> 03:45:30,121
commission hearing.

4035
03:45:36,363 --> 03:45:37,597
Held on June 25th, 2026. There were some questions regarding

4036
03:45:37,597 --> 03:45:40,200
the ADU U density and how the amended

4037
03:45:40,200 --> 03:45:44,404
ordinance would apply to attach the ADU and effects on J.

4038
03:45:44,404 --> 03:45:47,240
Jed use staff recommended that these questions to be addressed

4039
03:45:47,240 --> 03:45:48,308
during the housing element update, which is currently

4040
03:45:48,308 --> 03:45:49,943
underway in order. Cuz right now we are

4041
03:45:49,943 --> 03:45:53,413
trying to achieve. Compliance with state law. And

4042
03:45:53,413 --> 03:45:55,382
so to avoid being penalized, this is something that we can

4043
03:45:55,382 --> 03:45:56,550
do now. And then as a part of the housing

4044
03:45:56,550 --> 03:45:57,951
element update, we can address those other portions

4045
03:45:57,951 --> 03:46:01,905
as well. And so the, therefore the

4046
03:46:01,905 --> 03:46:03,240
planning commission did vote five

4047
03:46:03,240 --> 03:46:05,225
zero to recommend that the board of supervisors find the

4048
03:46:05,225 --> 03:46:07,227
project exempt from C Equa and adopt the ordinance.

4049
03:46:07,227 --> 03:46:08,428
Amending the ADU and J a D U section to

4050
03:46:08,428 --> 03:46:10,130
be consistent with Calornia state ADU law.

4051
03:46:10,130 --> 03:46:11,648
So there was, there was an email that we received

4052
03:46:11,648 --> 03:46:13,648
one public.

4053
03:46:18,255 --> 03:46:19,456
Opposition letter. They had some questions just regarding

4054
03:46:19,456 --> 03:46:21,558
the language of the existing ordinance

4055
03:46:21,558 --> 03:46:24,544
regarding CC and RS being void and unenforceable for ADUs and.

4056
03:46:24,544 --> 03:46:26,830
Jaedus and the county's legal authority to not enforce these

4057
03:46:26,830 --> 03:46:28,830
CCNRs.

4058
03:46:31,680 --> 03:46:32,520
The staff did inform the public member. That

4059
03:46:32,520 --> 03:46:33,186
that statement does come directly from

4060
03:46:33,186 --> 03:46:36,186
California civil code, section 47 51 and

4061
03:46:36,807 --> 03:46:40,930
due to it's and it stems. Stems from California civil

4062
03:46:40,930 --> 03:46:41,610
code that was previously adopted by

4063
03:46:41,610 --> 03:46:42,195
the board of supervisors during the ordinance 25, 29.

4064
03:46:42,195 --> 03:46:44,464
And therefore that's the legal authority

4065
03:46:44,464 --> 03:46:49,836
that the county has to. Not enforce the CCNRs.

4066
03:46:49,836 --> 03:46:50,871
Therefore, the staff recommends that the board of

4067
03:46:50,871 --> 03:46:54,224
supervisors take the recommended actions as

4068
03:46:54,224 --> 03:46:55,726
shown on screen, adopt the attached

4069
03:46:55,726 --> 03:46:59,326
ordinance amending. Nevada county code title 12.

4070
03:47:01,498 --> 03:47:02,632
Chapter three for the accessory and junior accessory

4071
03:47:02,632 --> 03:47:06,530
dwelling units to be consistent with state

4072
03:47:06,530 --> 03:47:07,688
law and find the project categorically exempt from C E.

4073
03:47:07,688 --> 03:47:09,740
Pursuant to sectn 1 50 61. . That's the concludes the

4074
03:47:09,740 --> 03:47:10,841
presentation and I'm open to any

4075
03:47:10,841 --> 03:47:13,841
questions. Questions. Great. Thank you

4076
03:47:14,227 --> 03:47:18,815
so much. All right. We will ask if the

4077
03:47:18,815 --> 03:47:21,215
board has any questions.

4078
03:47:22,786 --> 03:47:23,837
Questions, Rob a questions? Yeah. Thanks for that.

4079
03:47:23,837 --> 03:47:26,306
Where are we to not approve this resolution today?

4080
03:47:26,306 --> 03:47:28,859
Resolution, what would be the ramifications or, or what would

4081
03:47:28,859 --> 03:47:31,859
that look like? Supervisor Tucker.

4082
03:47:34,147 --> 03:47:37,718
So the, the state H C, D. Could determine us

4083
03:47:37,718 --> 03:47:39,718
outta compliance.

4084
03:47:43,457 --> 03:47:47,160
And either make it more difficult to approve our next

4085
03:47:47,160 --> 03:47:51,960
update to our housing element. Or potentily through

4086
03:47:54,901 --> 03:47:56,200
fairly extreme actions. De-certify our housing element

4087
03:47:56,200 --> 03:47:58,889
and our ordinance, which would make us ineligible

4088
03:47:58,889 --> 03:48:01,691
for HCD funding. Such as CDBG or CD.

4089
03:48:01,691 --> 03:48:05,145
CDB or CS B G grants. Grants. Thanks. And so my

4090
03:48:05,145 --> 03:48:08,745
understanding is this is purely to.

4091
03:48:12,602 --> 03:48:15,722
In this one area to come into compliance with existing

4092
03:48:15,722 --> 03:48:17,958
state law, which we've been notified that we're out of

4093
03:48:17,958 --> 03:48:19,676
compliance with currently. That is correct? Yes, sir.

4094
03:48:19,676 --> 03:48:23,530
Do you have questions? Questions. No, understand it

4095
03:48:23,530 --> 03:48:25,310
that way too. And actually, could they state then come on

4096
03:48:25,310 --> 03:48:26,399
and override us in a lot of our housing.

4097
03:48:26,399 --> 03:48:30,187
Planning issues. Issues. Yes. At the same time,

4098
03:48:30,187 --> 03:48:33,573
if we were, if we weren't in compliance.

4099
03:48:33,573 --> 03:48:35,108
If we were not to be in compliance. Yeah. There,

4100
03:48:35,108 --> 03:48:38,108
there's a number of ramifications.

4101
03:48:42,632 --> 03:48:44,150
And decertied, they get in extreme situations, put

4102
03:48:44,150 --> 03:48:47,870
'em moratorium on issuing building permits,

4103
03:48:47,870 --> 03:48:50,240
probably unlikely. For the small issue, but it

4104
03:48:50,240 --> 03:48:51,675
could lead to bigger problems.

4105
03:48:51,675 --> 03:48:53,827
Good Heidi question. Succinct clear. Sounds good to

4106
03:48:53,827 --> 03:48:57,597
me. Thank you. Thank you. Hardy. Yeah. Thank you.

4107
03:48:57,597 --> 03:49:02,786
Mine's a big question. Junior ADUs and ADUs. Can you

4108
03:49:02,786 --> 03:49:05,739
just give us a scale of how many people.

4109
03:49:05,739 --> 03:49:06,773
It's like four or five years ago, we were talking

4110
03:49:06,773 --> 03:49:09,993
about ADUs. Is this. Big solution set coming

4111
03:49:09,993 --> 03:49:11,993
forward for California.

4112
03:49:14,247 --> 03:49:18,351
We fairly unaffordable in, in my neck of the woods

4113
03:49:18,351 --> 03:49:19,302
to build an ADU. Do we have big demand for ADU

4114
03:49:19,302 --> 03:49:21,302
or JDS?

4115
03:49:26,293 --> 03:49:28,280
I tell them we do have a decent demand. We

4116
03:49:28,280 --> 03:49:29,412
do see them coming in for like building permits very

4117
03:49:29,412 --> 03:49:31,812
regularly as a, a.

4118
03:49:36,360 --> 03:49:37,838
Part of our planning reviews, we do review ADUs. And

4119
03:49:37,838 --> 03:49:40,423
so we do see them coming in. Howeve this, I

4120
03:49:40,423 --> 03:49:42,492
just want to kind of clarify that this specific ordinance

4121
03:49:42,492 --> 03:49:46,920
update. Would be for multi-family lots

4122
03:49:46,646 --> 03:49:48,480
only, and it doesn't apply for like single family or

4123
03:49:48,480 --> 03:49:49,165
anything like that. So only parcels that are

4124
03:49:49,165 --> 03:49:50,567
zoned multi-family. Does this amendment apply to.

4125
03:49:50,567 --> 03:49:55,550
Supervisor ball in terms of numbers, we probably.

4126
03:49:55,550 --> 03:49:59,255
Review an issue around 25 to 30. Per year.

4127
03:50:03,580 --> 03:50:04,631
One more question. So there would have to be a

4128
03:50:04,631 --> 03:50:09,850
multi-family unit on the lot. For this to be able to work

4129
03:50:09,850 --> 03:50:12,889
out. And then I, I mean, almost you have to

4130
03:50:12,889 --> 03:50:13,623
be where there's some sort of.

4131
03:50:13,623 --> 03:50:16,243
Infrastructure. Correct. So, you'd have to be where there's

4132
03:50:16,243 --> 03:50:21,430
sewer or especially sewer. Yeah, supervisor Huck the

4133
03:50:25,719 --> 03:50:27,821
it's really gonna apply to like R two and R

4134
03:50:27,821 --> 03:50:29,706
three properties because multi-family to be the

4135
03:50:29,706 --> 03:50:32,375
established. Apartments or condos, and then

4136
03:50:32,375 --> 03:50:36,575
those parcels could apply for these ADUs.

4137
03:50:39,616 --> 03:50:41,618
ADUs in, in my experience, I don't think we've seen

4138
03:50:41,618 --> 03:50:43,803
a request or have issued any ADU permits on a

4139
03:50:43,803 --> 03:50:45,305
multi-family zone. Parcel to date. Yeah, I don't

4140
03:50:45,305 --> 03:50:49,359
think so. Yeah. Makes sense. Okay, great.

4141
03:50:49,359 --> 03:50:50,860
All right. At this point, we will open up for

4142
03:50:50,860 --> 03:50:54,314
public comment. People would like to comment

4143
03:50:54,314 --> 03:50:55,382
on this, feel free to come up.

4144
03:50:55,382 --> 03:50:59,202
Anybody, any calls? No callers chair. Okay.

4145
03:50:59,202 --> 03:51:01,538
Not seeing a. Large rush to the podium. I

4146
03:51:01,538 --> 03:51:03,707
will close the public comment.

4147
03:51:03,707 --> 03:51:07,307
And bring it back to the.

4148
03:51:12,282 --> 03:51:16,870
Board for further discussion or for a motion to introduce

4149
03:51:16,870 --> 03:51:17,904
and waive further reading and adopt the ordinance.

4150
03:51:17,904 --> 03:51:20,256
So moved. Moved second. Any other, any

4151
03:51:20,256 --> 03:51:23,256

03:51:31,334 --> 03:51:35,534
Thank you. All right, our next item.

4157
03:51:38,758 --> 03:51:39,743
Is a resolution support for Nevada irrigation

4158
03:51:39,743 --> 03:51:42,450
district application. And I'm gonna turn that over

4159
03:51:42,450 --> 03:51:46,245
to supervisor hook. Okay. Great. Thank you.

4160
03:51:55,208 --> 03:51:56,142
Yeah, Greg Jones is here today with N ID and

03:51:56,142 --> 03:51:56,910
Greg, you wanna come up and just.

4162
03:51:56,910 --> 03:51:57,944
I, I think this is a Chiv Lee, especially when

4163
03:51:57,944 --> 03:52:00,944
we're looking for funding to.

4164
03:52:02,699 --> 03:52:04,000
Work, and this is gonna affect all of the people

4165
03:52:04,000 --> 03:52:06,853
in Nevada county. They're like 2,800 customers with an ID

4166
03:52:06,853 --> 03:52:08,555
and our agriculture and. Anyway, Greg, I'll let you

4167
03:52:08,555 --> 03:52:10,730

03:52:51,514 --> 03:52:55,702
the assistant general manager. With the Nevada irrigation

4181
03:52:55,702 --> 03:52:57,404
district. And I'm here with Gabe,

4182
03:52:57,404 --> 03:53:01,691
RNO our director of engineering. We're here today to ask for

4183
03:53:01,691 --> 03:53:03,927
the county's support for a letter of resolution.

4184
03:53:03,927 --> 03:53:07,527
For nigs. Nigs application for DW.

4185
03:53:15,710 --> 03:53:16,423
DWS dam safety and climate resilien proposition four

4186
03:53:16,423 --> 03:53:19,626
grant solicitation, which is still not yet

4187
03:53:19,626 --> 03:53:22,612
available, but we anticipate. It coming out for solicitation.

4188
03:53:22,612 --> 03:53:25,612
In the next few weeks.

4189
03:53:27,471 --> 03:53:29,907
We'll just wait for DW R to finally release its

4190
03:53:29,907 --> 03:53:31,750
solicitation. So we're thankful for you to bring

4191
03:53:31,750 --> 03:53:33,475
this to the board.

4192
03:53:33,728 --> 03:53:35,429
For consideration, we have a brief.

4193
03:53:35,429 --> 03:53:36,464
Educational presentation of the project, some

4194
03:53:36,464 --> 03:53:38,482
photographs, some. Undetanding of what the

4195
03:53:38,482 --> 03:53:41,482
Scott's flat spillway. Replacement project.

4196
03:53:43,571 --> 03:53:45,773
Is for your education and the public's education.

4197
03:53:45,773 --> 03:53:49,373
And this this ask and the.

4198
03:53:51,295 --> 03:53:52,530
Activities that N I D staff is doing at the

4199
03:53:52,530 --> 03:53:56,130
moment. Aligns with N IDs board.

4200
03:53:57,752 --> 03:54:00,454
Actions in order to seek fut additional funding.

4201
03:54:00,454 --> 03:54:05,326
Which will eventually then help. Offset N I D rate payer.

4202
03:54:05,326 --> 03:54:09,526
Rate increases over the next few years.

4203
03:54:13,167 --> 03:54:15,970
As we enter into large capital improvement projects, such as

4204
03:54:15,970 --> 03:54:17,304
the Scott's flat replacement project. So we greatly

4205
03:54:17,304 --> 03:54:19,304
appreciate being here.

4206
03:54:21,776 --> 03:54:23,770
And offering seeking your support for the resolution

4207
03:54:23,770 --> 03:54:25,179
at the consideration today. So I'll

4208
03:54:25,179 --> 03:54:28,115
turn that over to Gabe. For presentation. All right.

4209
03:54:28,115 --> 03:54:30,518
Good afternoon. Gabe barau director of

4210
03:54:30,518 --> 03:54:31,786
engineering with NA Nevada irrigation district.

4211
03:54:31,786 --> 03:54:35,386
And we have a, basically a.

4212
03:54:36,357 --> 03:54:37,958
A workshop to present to you this project that will

4213
03:54:37,958 --> 03:54:38,926
be a pretty substantial project for in Nevada

4214
03:54:38,926 --> 03:54:40,695
irrigation district and the community.

4215
03:54:40,695 --> 03:54:41,962
Up at the Scotts flat spillway area.

4216
03:54:41,962 --> 03:54:46,762
So, let me check and see if this.

4217
03:54:47,368 --> 03:54:49,770
Remote works. All right. So my outline here, and this'll

4218
03:54:49,770 --> 03:54:52,170
be pretty high level.

4219
03:54:54,642 --> 03:54:57,912
Is, you know, basically to identify that this is outreach,

4220
03:54:57,912 --> 03:54:59,880
we're looking for some support here. As we chase some

4221
03:54:59,880 --> 03:55:03,480
grants. Grants and, you know, I'll

4222
03:55:03,884 --> 03:55:06,754
describe the project. So the first component there, Scotts

4223
03:55:06,754 --> 03:55:08,589
flat spillway will be, you know,

4224
03:55:08,589 --> 03:55:10,658
some pictures we'll show you where it is.

4225
03:55:10,658 --> 03:55:12,126
What it, what we're gonna do. And then the project

4226
03:55:12,126 --> 03:55:13,294
itself will go through the, the regulators project

4227
03:55:13,294 --> 03:55:15,463
drivers. Why, why are we doing the project?

4228
03:55:15,463 --> 03:55:17,765
And the project components, their impacts to the area and

4229
03:55:17,765 --> 03:55:19,400
community. Costs schedule.

4230
03:55:19,400 --> 03:55:21,400
And our funding.

4231
03:55:26,674 --> 03:55:29,210
All right. And Hey, I don't know exactly how you'd

4232
03:55:29,210 --> 03:55:30,544
like to operate, but you're more than welcome to interrupt

4233
03:55:30,544 --> 03:55:31,345
me at any time and ask questions.

4234
03:55:31,345 --> 03:55:36,283
Questions along the way. All right. So where are we? I

4235
03:55:36,283 --> 03:55:39,286
imagine everybody really knows where Scott's flat is,

4236
03:55:39,286 --> 03:55:42,286
but here's a large scale.

4237
03:55:43,958 --> 03:55:46,227
Aerial showing where Nevada city and grass valley are the

4238
03:55:46,227 --> 03:55:48,229
root center where we are right now. And Scott's flat

4239
03:55:48,229 --> 03:55:50,765
just a couple miles east of here.

4240
03:55:50,765 --> 03:55:54,969
Here's a zoomed in version with a couple of the

4241
03:55:54,969 --> 03:55:56,969
key.

4242
03:55:58,105 --> 03:55:59,106
Components around the, the reservoir. We have two

4243
03:55:59,106 --> 03:56:01,409
campgrounds, the N I D manages, we have the dam

4244
03:56:01,409 --> 03:56:03,844
itself and the spillway that will zoom.

4245
03:56:03,844 --> 03:56:04,879
In and on, on a sec, in a second.

4246
03:56:04,879 --> 03:56:06,380
And cascade shores there on the east, Southeast.

4247
03:56:06,380 --> 03:56:08,780
Flank of the reservoir.

4248
03:56:12,190 --> 03:56:14,722
Here's the spillway. If you haven't been there or recreated

4249
03:56:14,722 --> 03:56:17,122
on Scott's flat before.

4250
03:56:19,660 --> 03:56:20,661
It has a few primary components. There's the

4251
03:56:20,661 --> 03:56:23,564
bridge on the right side. There that's

4252
03:56:23,564 --> 03:56:26,734
the, you can. I navigate across there it is.

4253
03:56:26,734 --> 03:56:29,570
Vehicle compatible primarily it's just

4254
03:56:29,570 --> 03:56:33,707
open for bikes and pedestrians. Pedestrians and right below

4255
03:56:33,707 --> 03:56:35,276
it, you can't see below that bridge is a large.

4256
03:56:35,276 --> 03:56:37,676
I think it's 200 foot.

4257
03:56:41,382 --> 03:56:43,517
Spillway Weir. It's a big crest all at one elevation.

4258
03:56:43,517 --> 03:56:45,850
And the one, the water level gets sufficiently high. It

4259
03:56:45,850 --> 03:56:45,953
spills over. Into that upper plunge pool

4260
03:56:45,953 --> 03:56:47,721
that you see. And then the spillway shoot,

4261
03:56:47,721 --> 03:56:50,121
which is the primary.

4262
03:56:55,262 --> 03:56:57,298
And most substantial part of the spillway where it all

4263
03:56:57,298 --> 03:56:59,533
splashes down at the bottom there on the left to

4264
03:56:59,533 --> 03:57:01,680
the lower plunge pool, which is just basically a big

4265
03:57:01,680 --> 03:57:01,902
pond. And. Energy. Dissipator sorry. I

4266
03:57:01,902 --> 03:57:04,302
think I cut out.

4267
03:57:07,174 --> 03:57:08,909
Here are a couple photos here. We are standing on

4268
03:57:08,909 --> 03:57:11,450
the bridge, looking down the, the pool in front of

4269
03:57:11,450 --> 03:57:15,845
us at the foreground is the upper plunge.

4270
03:57:31,799 --> 03:57:33,801
Here's a view of the left flank, looking down the

4271
03:57:33,801 --> 03:57:36,403
shoot. Down to the lower plunge pool.

4272
03:57:36,403 --> 03:57:40,300
Lemme just keep moving through here.

4273
03:57:45,913 --> 03:57:46,881
And now I think this is actually a video. You

4274
03:57:46,881 --> 03:57:47,915
can get a sense of the, the magnitude of rushing

4275
03:57:47,915 --> 03:57:48,749
water down this. Spillway and why it's

4276
03:57:48,749 --> 03:57:51,785
important that we maintain and, and

4277
03:57:51,785 --> 03:57:52,686
in this case, rebuild it substantially. Is

4278
03:57:52,686 --> 03:57:55,860
that possible to play?

4279
03:58:00,578 --> 03:58:02,978
Thank you very much.

4280
03:58:22,666 --> 03:58:23,701
Gives you a sense of the forces coming down. This,

4281
03:58:23,701 --> 03:58:25,701
this spillway.

4282
03:58:33,444 --> 03:58:35,396
Here is a picture of some damage.

4283
03:58:35,396 --> 03:58:36,430
Don't worry. We didn't leave it like that. It all

4284
03:58:36,430 --> 03:58:37,431
gets repaired, but it periodically has areas of

4285
03:58:37,431 --> 03:58:42,231
spalling and failure that we have to address.

4286
03:58:42,253 --> 03:58:43,254
Here's another photo of something similar.

4287
03:58:43,254 --> 03:58:44,572
And here's a photo showing this and fundamentally

4288
03:58:44,572 --> 03:58:48,442
this profile just needs to be replaced.

4289
03:58:48,442 --> 03:58:55,216
Right? So the wall, the new walls will be bigger and taller.

4290
03:58:55,216 --> 03:58:58,520
Alright. So our project is regulated by the federal energy

4291
03:58:58,520 --> 03:59:01,121
regulatory commission. We refer to it as FERC and the.

4292
03:59:01,121 --> 03:59:02,189
They're the federal regulatory authority that manages

4293
03:59:02,189 --> 03:59:05,789
anything that produces energy and power.

4294
03:59:08,829 --> 03:59:10,164
And then at the state level, we have the division

4295
03:59:10,164 --> 03:59:12,700
of safety of dams who comes in with their engineers

4296
03:59:12,700 --> 03:59:14,802
and controls all the parameters of the.

4297
03:59:14,802 --> 03:59:15,819
Of the physical work that have to be done.

4298
03:59:15,819 --> 03:59:18,188
Now the project drivers are fundamentally safety.

4299
03:59:18,188 --> 03:59:22,826
Safety of the reservoir itself and our water supply.

4300
03:59:22,826 --> 03:59:28,826
And safety of the public that lives downstream and nearby.

4301
03:59:30,601 --> 03:59:32,469
So one of the first components of that is the

4302
03:59:32,469 --> 03:59:35,372
age the lion share that spillway was built in the

4303
03:59:35,372 --> 03:59:36,340
forties. So it's. It's you know, nearly 80

4304
03:59:36,340 --> 03:59:38,340
years old.

4305
03:59:41,512 --> 03:59:43,380
You saw its condition. Now, when I say condition here,

4306
03:59:43,380 --> 03:59:45,349
it's, it's not in bad condition, it's just old and

4307
03:59:45,349 --> 03:59:47,518
patched together and, and you know, a little bit put

4308
03:59:47,518 --> 03:59:48,318
together. But N I D does a good job

4309
03:59:48,318 --> 03:59:50,718
of keeping it together.

4310
03:59:51,669 --> 03:59:52,870
There's another component that this spillway doesn't have,

4311
03:59:52,870 --> 03:59:57,700
and that is an under drain system.

4312
03:59:59,343 --> 04:00:00,444
You'll recall from twenty seventeen, eighteen Oroville

4313
04:00:00,444 --> 04:00:04,348
dam incident where some of the failure there was related

4314
04:00:04,348 --> 04:00:05,716
to under drains. Drains. And so DS O D division

4315
04:00:05,716 --> 04:00:09,316
of safety of dams, there is.

4316
04:00:11,722 --> 04:00:12,757
Has come through and wherever there's a spillway

4317
04:00:12,757 --> 04:00:13,958
project, they have a substantial stipulation

4318
04:00:13,958 --> 04:00:17,328
for increased and appropriately sized under

4319
04:00:17,328 --> 04:00:18,262
drains to prevent. Any kind of uplift or

4320
04:00:18,262 --> 04:00:19,764
undermining of the spillway itself.

4321
04:00:19,764 --> 04:00:23,968
And then capacity. That that video you saw is

4322
04:00:23,968 --> 04:00:26,437
like one eighth of the flow that we need to be

4323
04:00:26,437 --> 04:00:28,720
able to convey. And so when we rebuild it,

4324
04:00:28,720 --> 04:00:30,241
it'll be built a little bigger.

4325
04:00:30,241 --> 04:00:32,241
The project components.

4326
04:00:38,516 --> 04:00:39,684
Components include access improvements. So you saw from

4327
04:00:39,684 --> 04:00:42,820
those photos, photos that it's pretty

4328
04:00:42,820 --> 04:00:44,989
forested on either flank of the spillway and.

4329
04:00:44,989 --> 04:00:46,900
It's basically just concrete down through the, down,

4330
04:00:46,900 --> 04:00:50,290
through the canyon and the forest there.

4331
04:00:51,362 --> 04:00:52,330
So we'll come in and we'll have to remove some

4332
04:00:52,330 --> 04:00:55,500
trees and cut some roads to select spots along each

4333
04:00:55,500 --> 04:00:57,401
flank so that we can get in and do the

4334
04:00:57,401 --> 04:00:58,202
demo. Of the existing spillway and

4335
04:00:58,202 --> 04:01:03,602
re you know, form and build place, new concrete.

4336
04:01:04,175 --> 04:01:06,100
For the new spillway. And I'll talk about schedule in

4337
04:01:06,100 --> 04:01:07,778
a second, but that'll be the first piece. Now, the

4338
04:01:07,778 --> 04:01:10,431
uppeplunge pool you saw in that first photo within

4339
04:01:10,431 --> 04:01:11,199
the. The pool in the foreground at

4340
04:01:11,199 --> 04:01:14,385
the top. All we have to do is amend the

4341
04:01:14,385 --> 04:01:17,138
Anchorage, tie that down to the bedrock

4342
04:01:17,138 --> 04:01:18,606
below. So that work will be.

4343
04:01:18,606 --> 04:01:21,609
Relatively limited compared to the rest.

4344
04:01:21,609 --> 04:01:23,661
But for the shoot replacement and the lower plunge pool,

4345
04:01:23,661 --> 04:01:28,850
the work will be substantial. We have to remove.

4346
04:01:28,850 --> 04:01:30,585
Almost the entirety of the shoot and the lower plunge

4347
04:01:30,585 --> 04:01:33,337
pool and rebui them with under drains and Anchorage into

4348
04:01:33,337 --> 04:01:34,338
the bedrock. So that's the lion share of

4349
04:01:34,338 --> 04:01:37,338
the work itself. Project impacts.

4350
04:01:43,181 --> 04:01:45,166
For the community we're gonna have to close campground gate

4351
04:01:45,166 --> 04:01:47,680
one. There are two campgrounds. If you, as you saw

4352
04:01:47,680 --> 04:01:49,468
in that one, aerial.

4353
04:01:51,889 --> 04:01:52,857
The access to this construction site is right

4354
04:01:52,857 --> 04:01:54,842
through the campground. We'll have big

4355
04:01:54,842 --> 04:01:56,510
trucks. We'll have cement trucks, we'll

4356
04:01:56,510 --> 04:01:58,379
have personnel con cons. Construction equipment coming

4357
04:01:58,379 --> 04:02:00,197
through and that's just not compatible with

4358
04:02:00,197 --> 04:02:01,265
kids on bikes. Bikes. We also need to close

4359
04:02:01,265 --> 04:02:04,265
it to the pedestrian access.

4360
04:02:08,773 --> 04:02:10,274
You know, it'll be a construction zone. So right now

4361
04:02:10,274 --> 04:02:11,242
that'll be, that's an impact for sure. There'll

4362
04:02:11,242 --> 04:02:13,494
be construction traffic in this immediate

4363
04:02:13,494 --> 04:02:15,329
work zone. And on rough and ready road.

4364
04:02:15,329 --> 04:02:19,529
And obviously the related noise of construction.

4365
04:02:21,185 --> 04:02:22,253
One thing I wanted to note because it's come up

4366
04:02:22,253 --> 04:02:24,538
a couple times is that I understand that this the

4367
04:02:24,538 --> 04:02:27,410
spillway and the dam crest. Crest are a point of emergency

4368
04:02:27,410 --> 04:02:31,241
ingress in, in travel there in emergency.

4369
04:02:34,915 --> 04:02:36,784
And so we will stipulate to the contractor that at

4370
04:02:36,784 --> 04:02:38,969
a given any given moment's notice that that needs to

4371
04:02:38,969 --> 04:02:44,969
be open. They can't block it. Here's our proposed schedule.

4372
04:02:46,827 --> 04:02:47,828
And this project was originally supposed to start

4373
04:02:47,828 --> 04:02:49,146
in 26, but we've delayed in order to

4374
04:02:49,146 --> 04:02:51,515
chase and hopefully close the deal on some grants and

4375
04:02:51,515 --> 04:02:53,484
funding as we. Address the cost. Well, let's

4376
04:02:53,484 --> 04:02:56,484
see if this pointer works.

4377
04:02:58,139 --> 04:03:00,157
Yeah. So we propose right now to bid the work

4378
04:03:00,157 --> 04:03:02,157
in summer of 27.

4379
04:03:06,280 --> 04:03:07,348
And implement some the access improvements, tree and

4380
04:03:07,348 --> 04:03:10,101
road, cutting down the flanks of those

4381
04:03:10,101 --> 04:03:12,303
beltway at the end of 27, fall 27.

4382
04:03:12,303 --> 04:03:13,888
And then there'll be a break. In terms of constructi,

4383
04:03:13,888 --> 04:03:16,691
there will be some D S O D.

4384
04:03:16,691 --> 04:03:17,658
And FERC related processes with the contractor

4385
04:03:17,658 --> 04:03:21,858
we've selected. They want the, they want

4386
04:03:21,879 --> 04:03:27,879
every, when everybody on the same team and then work.

4387
04:03:28,269 --> 04:03:30,321
We would mobilize in the spring of 28 and the

4388
04:03:30,321 --> 04:03:31,355
actual spillway would work would happen in starting

4389
04:03:31,355 --> 04:03:34,955
after June. Of 28 to December of 28.

4390
04:03:38,546 --> 04:03:39,730
And in which, at which point, this spillway has to

4391
04:03:39,730 --> 04:03:41,999
be buttoned back up so that throughout the winter, it

4392
04:03:41,999 --> 04:03:43,801
could spill if it needed to. And generally it does.

4393
04:03:43,801 --> 04:03:47,521
And so through the winter, we have a winter break here

4394
04:03:47,521 --> 04:03:49,974
that I've identified no work. If there is any work, it

4395
04:03:49,974 --> 04:03:53,277
would be incidental. Contractor staging or button

4396
04:03:53,277 --> 04:03:56,163
up SW kind of work, stormwater prevention planning.

4397
04:03:56,163 --> 04:03:57,531
And then the second half of the spillway would happen

4398
04:03:57,531 --> 04:04:01,285
in the. In starting in June of 29 and

4399
04:04:01,285 --> 04:04:04,285
conclude in 29. If, if everything

4400
04:04:05,206 --> 04:04:08,206
comes together, let's see here.

4401
04:04:11,595 --> 04:04:13,597
All right. So the estimate estimated cost for the project

4402
04:04:13,597 --> 04:04:16,830
is about $55 million. We're all crossing our

4403
04:04:16,830 --> 04:04:17,752
fingers. That it's less than that.

4404
04:04:17,752 --> 04:04:19,752
But.

4405
04:04:22,540 --> 04:04:24,392
Things have been going up and that's with the help

4406
04:04:24,392 --> 04:04:25,526
of contractors and our consultant. That's about the

4407
04:04:25,526 --> 04:04:27,526
estimate right there.

4408
04:04:27,762 --> 04:04:28,896
And our funding as Greg alluded to at the beginning,

4409
04:04:28,896 --> 04:04:33,960
we'll be funded primarily by rate payers.

4410
04:04:35,469 --> 04:04:38,405
Payers, but we are also pursuing these grants. We are

4411
04:04:38,405 --> 04:04:41,250
on the list for a DOE grant there for approximately

4412
04:04:41,250 --> 04:04:41,892
5 million. And then we're looking to

4413
04:04:41,892 --> 04:04:44,645
apply for this DM safety and climate resilience grant.

4414
04:04:44,645 --> 04:04:47,450
In the coming months.

4415
04:04:51,335 --> 04:04:52,403
So we're here looking for project support, making

4416
04:04:52,403 --> 04:04:54,522
sure that our community knows that

4417
04:04:54,522 --> 04:04:56,922
this is. Coming and

4418
04:05:00,711 --> 04:05:03,470
what else do we have up there? Yeah, it's basically

4419
04:05:03,470 --> 04:05:04,665
just outreach. So you're aware of the project.

4420
04:05:04,665 --> 04:05:07,665
And that's, that's the presentation.

4421
04:05:09,253 --> 04:05:11,255
You're welcome to ask any questions. Great. Thank you so

4422
04:05:11,255 --> 04:05:14,855
much. Before we open public comment.

4423
04:05:15,709 --> 04:05:19,663
Does anybody have questions for N I D Rob Sue, any questions?

4424
04:05:19,663 --> 04:05:25,663
Questions, Heidi. I can, I can make my comments. Okay.

4425
04:05:27,521 --> 04:05:30,140
Hardy any questions for? Okay. All right. We'll open the

4426
04:05:30,140 --> 04:05:31,375
public comment. If there's anybody in the audience

4427
04:05:31,375 --> 04:05:32,877
who would like to speak on this.

4428
04:05:32,877 --> 04:05:38,877
Saying none. Is there any calls? No callers chair. Okay.

4429
04:05:39,330 --> 04:05:41,352
All right. We will close the public comment and bring

4430
04:05:41,352 --> 04:05:43,420
it back to the board for discussion. Yeah, go ahead,

4431
04:05:43,420 --> 04:05:44,939
Heidi. Yeah. Thank you. This sounds great.

4432
04:05:44,939 --> 04:05:50,327
Obviously I would support a letter. I just wanna say.

4433
04:05:50,327 --> 04:05:51,228
How nice it is to have you guys come here

4434
04:05:51,228 --> 04:05:52,663
and tell us about one of your projects. This is

4435
04:05:52,663 --> 04:05:54,982
in my district. And it's actually, I'm just

4436
04:05:54,982 --> 04:05:56,750
thinking it's incredibly helpful to

4437
04:05:56,750 --> 04:05:59,186
know. What you're doing and what

4438
04:05:59,186 --> 04:06:01,605
your plans are and what it looks like. So we can help.

4439
04:06:01,605 --> 04:06:03,730
The public understand as well. And so I just wanna

4440
04:06:03,730 --> 04:06:05,226
encourage you. To come again. some of the

4441
04:06:05,226 --> 04:06:07,626
other projects you're doing.

4442
04:06:13,500 --> 04:06:15,202
So we can fully understand the tremendous amount of wor

4443
04:06:15,202 --> 04:06:16,670
I know you guys have to do to keep the

4444
04:06:16,670 --> 04:06:17,639
water systems functioning, so I don't have any

4445
04:06:17,639 --> 04:06:19,408
questions. Just thank you.

4446
04:06:19,408 --> 04:06:21,930
Yeah. And, and we definitely welcome that.

4447
04:06:21,930 --> 04:06:22,327
We welcome that request. We can come back at any

4448
04:06:22,327 --> 04:06:23,429
point and we'll. We'll look for doing that

4449
04:06:23,429 --> 04:06:25,829
for sure. Yeah, thanks.

4450
04:06:29,151 --> 04:06:30,336
Both of you for coming. I think this is important.

4451
04:06:30,336 --> 04:06:33,339
I think, you know, a couple years ago, we

4452
04:06:33,339 --> 04:06:35,339
made water.

4453
04:06:38,227 --> 04:06:39,228
These issues in our legislative platform. And I

4454
04:06:39,228 --> 04:06:40,746
think those are important. Water is how we

4455
04:06:40,746 --> 04:06:44,516
function in a community. And I think those kinds of

4456
04:06:44,516 --> 04:06:46,435
partnerships are what we have to continue to build on

4457
04:06:46,435 --> 04:06:50,350
and have in that kind of.

4458
04:06:50,556 --> 04:06:52,424
Relationship. So I really appreciate you coming today

4459
04:06:52,424 --> 04:06:53,592
and I think we'll look forward to

4460
04:06:53,592 --> 04:06:58,992
other projects cuz there's a, there's a lot of.

4461
04:06:59,381 --> 04:07:00,499
I mean, I can think of a couple projects that

4462
04:07:00,499 --> 04:07:01,934
come down the line that are gonna affect other districts,

4463
04:07:01,934 --> 04:07:03,802
and those will be important information to give out to

4464
04:07:03,802 --> 04:07:05,287
the public. So I really appreciate.

4465
04:07:05,287 --> 04:07:06,722
You being here today. And I just wanna remind the

4466
04:07:06,722 --> 04:07:07,956
public as well. There's opportunity to write

4467
04:07:07,956 --> 04:07:12,156
public letters. Letters to support this as

4468
04:07:12,244 --> 04:07:13,846
well. And if you have an N I D director, that's very

4469
04:07:13,846 --> 04:07:15,664
ambitious. He's out woing those right now.

4470
04:07:15,664 --> 04:07:21,664
And so I'd encourage you. If you run into somebody.

4471
04:07:23,155 --> 04:07:25,607
And or stop by N I D it's public. Input's

4472
04:07:25,607 --> 04:07:28,343
important. We need to show that we, this community really

4473
04:07:28,343 --> 04:07:32,130
supports what's happening. And, and the infrastructure

4474
04:07:32,130 --> 04:07:33,632
that needs to be replaced. When we look at N I D having

4475
04:07:33,632 --> 04:07:36,632
infrastructure that's been around for.

4476
04:07:38,420 --> 04:07:41,540
Well, this one in the forties, but we have infrastructure

4477
04:07:41,540 --> 04:07:42,608
that's older than that as well that we maintain and.

4478
04:07:42,608 --> 04:07:44,927
This is an opportunity for us to really, to find

4479
04:07:44,927 --> 04:07:47,327
some funding that helps.

4480
04:07:47,763 --> 04:07:48,997
A rate payers as well. If we can find extra

4481
04:07:48,997 --> 04:07:50,249
funding that keeps our rates down, makes savings

4482
04:07:50,249 --> 04:07:52,384
affordable for people to have water in our

4483
04:07:52,384 --> 04:07:56,572
county. So. Very much appreciate it. Yeah.

4484
04:07:56,572 --> 04:07:59,141
And that's a great, that's a great plug supervisor hook.

4485
04:07:59,141 --> 04:08:00,559
There, there is a link on the N I D website

4486
04:08:00,559 --> 04:08:03,795
specifically, and you could just click on it.

4487
04:08:03,795 --> 04:08:07,249
Type your name and it produces for us a letter

4488
04:08:07,249 --> 04:08:10,350
of support right away that will attach to the final

4489
04:08:10,350 --> 04:08:10,903
plication that we. Submit to DWR. So that

4490
04:08:10,903 --> 04:08:12,903
is helpful. Easy.

4491
04:08:22,447 --> 04:08:25,467
Echo supervisor Hall's comments. Thanks for showing

4492
04:08:25,467 --> 04:08:29,771
up and talking to us. You're a big landowner.

4493
04:08:29,771 --> 04:08:31,223
A big presence in Nevada county. So we appreciate it.

4494
04:08:31,223 --> 04:08:34,960
Woods. Just a couple quick questions is Scott's flat a

4495
04:08:34,960 --> 04:08:38,280
fur. Controlled body of water. Is

4496
04:08:38,280 --> 04:08:41,330
that under fur question? It is okay. Yes. Okay. That's

4497
04:08:41,330 --> 04:08:43,202
because it has a powerhouse. Connected to it. Okay.

4498
04:08:43,202 --> 04:08:47,656
Thank you. And then one of the questions

4499
04:08:47,656 --> 04:08:49,591
or, you know, I was just gonna mention one of

4500
04:08:49,591 --> 04:08:51,476
your board members is on our T RRP group and he's a

4501
04:08:51,476 --> 04:08:55,760
great advocate. Every time we sit.

4502
04:08:56,632 --> 04:08:57,766
Down rich starts talking about water and the water needs

4503
04:08:57,766 --> 04:08:59,535
an infrastructure needs. So you have a great advocate out

4504
04:08:59,535 --> 04:09:00,435
in the community. Letting people know how

4505
04:09:00,435 --> 04:09:06,435
important it is to, you know, work toward that. Those.

4506
04:09:12,297 --> 04:09:13,265
Grant funds and in, and support mutual support

4507
04:09:13,265 --> 04:09:14,660
for this. So looking forward to, and

4508
04:09:14,660 --> 04:09:15,167
look forward to hearing more from you and your needs.

4509
04:09:15,167 --> 04:09:19,870
I would mention is a number of recreational.

4510
04:09:19,870 --> 04:09:20,220
You know, impacts we previously, I think the

4511
04:09:20,220 --> 04:09:21,924
board provided some grant funding for your

4512
04:09:21,924 --> 04:09:24,243
Trailhead improvements, the bike parking

4513
04:09:24,243 --> 04:09:26,211
area on the side. And we just, we appreciate it.

4514
04:09:26,211 --> 04:09:27,179
You know, what's one of our board priorities

4515
04:09:27,179 --> 04:09:29,579
is economic. Development through

4516
04:09:30,732 --> 04:09:32,000
recreational activity and we, we enjoy partnering with

4517
04:09:32,000 --> 04:09:37,400
you and we see that area as a big.

4518
04:09:40,776 --> 04:09:41,944
Emphasis for boating biking. Access period. So look forward

4519
04:09:41,944 --> 04:09:47,944
to, yeah, just a big, thanks for being here today.

4520
04:09:51,386 --> 04:09:54,223
I think most of us, or if you have N

4521
04:09:54,223 --> 04:09:55,900
I D if, you know, if you have, if you're

4522
04:09:55,900 --> 04:09:57,943
provided N I D wer, either through the cities or

4523
04:09:57,943 --> 04:09:59,943
through.

4524
04:10:03,916 --> 04:10:04,950
I just turn my water on and something comes out.

4525
04:10:04,950 --> 04:10:06,351
I have no idea how it got there. So I.

4526
04:10:06,351 --> 04:10:09,488
Think letting people see the actual complex.

4527
04:10:09,488 --> 04:10:12,570
You know, complexity of what it takes to get that

4528
04:10:12,570 --> 04:10:15,657
water from wherever it comes from.

4529
04:10:19,970 --> 04:10:22,434
Into my home is really important cuz we don't, most

4530
04:10:22,434 --> 04:10:23,535
people don't understand it. So I think the more public

4531
04:10:23,535 --> 04:10:25,570
education you can do. It really helps address the

4532
04:10:25,570 --> 04:10:26,672
issue. Yeah. There's a lot of obviously been a lot of

4533
04:10:26,672 --> 04:10:27,639
discussion and attention with rates going up.

4534
04:10:27,639 --> 04:10:30,409
And people don't understand it. And I had a really

4535
04:10:30,409 --> 04:10:32,409
robust.

4536
04:10:34,613 --> 04:10:35,681
Conversation the other night from somebody in Nevada

4537
04:10:35,681 --> 04:10:36,548
city about the rate increases and a lot

4538
04:10:36,548 --> 04:10:40,118
of misunderstandings about what the, where the money goes and

4539
04:10:40,118 --> 04:10:41,620
what it's used for. So really appreciate you being

4540
04:10:41,620 --> 04:10:43,722
here today and explaining these things to all of us and.

4541
04:10:43,722 --> 04:10:45,123
Communicating it, what I find very interesting when you come

4542
04:10:45,123 --> 04:10:46,625
up to the county is. Any entity that has the word

4543
04:10:46,625 --> 04:10:48,625
Nevada in it.

4544
04:10:55,133 --> 04:10:57,302
They think it's the county. So N I D the

4545
04:10:57,302 --> 04:10:59,237
fairgrounds, the Horsemans, I mean, anything that has

4546
04:10:59,237 --> 04:11:01,256
the word Nevada in front of it, so it's

4547
04:11:01,256 --> 04:11:03,759
really good for. Us to, for people to

4548
04:11:03,759 --> 04:11:05,100
understand that we don't control

4549
04:11:05,100 --> 04:11:06,278
what you do. We are a partner in, in the

4550
04:11:06,278 --> 04:11:07,579
community of what you do. And I think this kind

4551
04:11:07,579 --> 04:11:11,900
of work shows that really well. So thank you for that. Yeah.

4552
04:11:11,900 --> 04:11:14,519
Thank you. So I think you're looking for a

4553
04:11:14,519 --> 04:11:15,887
letter of support, which sounds like we're, we're willing to

4554
04:11:15,887 --> 04:11:16,488
do that. So I do have.

4555
04:11:16,488 --> 04:11:18,488
A resolution.

4556
04:11:22,978 --> 04:11:25,897
That calls for that as wl as, you know, having

4557
04:11:25,897 --> 04:11:26,832
it here at the county, supporting what you're

4558
04:11:26,832 --> 04:11:27,566
doing. So at that point I would

4559
04:11:27,566 --> 04:11:29,170
entertain a motion. So moved.

4560
04:11:29,170 --> 04:11:32,617
Moved second. All right. Roll call.

4561
04:11:34,390 --> 04:11:35,340
District one. Yes. District five. Yes. District two.

4562
04:11:35,340 --> 04:11:39,540
Yes. District four. Yes. District three. Yes.

4563
04:11:40,796 --> 04:11:42,647
So great. Thank you very much, supervisors. Thank you. ally

4564
04:11:42,647 --> 04:11:43,615
appreciate it. And look forward to coming back

4565
04:11:43,615 --> 04:11:45,615
with some more.

4566
04:11:47,936 --> 04:11:50,380
Big projects to your table, give you some more information.

4567
04:11:50,380 --> 04:11:52,224
We look forward to seeing them. Yeah. Thank you. Thank

4568
04:11:52,224 --> 04:11:53,458
you. Yes, thank you. All right.

4569
04:11:53,458 --> 04:11:57,658
Moving right along. I think our next

4570
04:12:01,466 --> 04:12:02,434
matter is the public works director and county

4571
04:12:02,434 --> 04:12:04,834
engineering. Gonna talk about.

4572
04:12:07,456 --> 04:12:09,570
Some parking restrictions and we have four different

4573
04:12:09,570 --> 04:12:11,343
areas. We are going to.

4574
04:12:11,343 --> 04:12:15,831
Be presented on all of them. Together and we'll take public

4575
04:12:15,831 --> 04:12:17,699
comment on all of them together, and then we'll vote

4576
04:12:17,699 --> 04:12:21,299
on them separately by motion. So.

4577
04:12:24,256 --> 04:12:25,357
David welcome. Thank you. Chair Swarthout supervisors,

4578
04:12:25,357 --> 04:12:28,176
David Garcia, your public works director, and I'm happy

4579
04:12:28,176 --> 04:12:30,729
to introduce pat Perkins. Perkins the county's principal

4580
04:12:30,729 --> 04:12:34,329
engineer and also your road commissioner.

4581
04:12:35,951 --> 04:12:37,850
Good afternoon, everybody supervisors, chair again, my

4582
04:12:37,850 --> 04:12:40,522
name is pat Perkins. I'm the principal

4583
04:12:40,522 --> 04:12:43,108
engine here at Nevada. County, the item we have

4584
04:12:43,108 --> 04:12:45,189
before you today is. A item regarding parking

4585
04:12:45,189 --> 04:12:47,909
restrictions or modification to parking.

4586
04:12:47,909 --> 04:12:52,960
Back in January of 2026 at the board workshop.

4587
04:12:52,960 --> 04:12:53,164
There were a lot of concerns that were raised around

4588
04:12:53,164 --> 04:12:55,564
parking throughout Nevada county.

4589
04:12:57,510 --> 04:12:58,886
Some of those parking concerns that were brought up, had

4590
04:12:58,886 --> 04:13:00,354
to do with overnight parking in general.

4591
04:13:00,354 --> 04:13:01,772
A lot of the concerns at were discussed at that

4592
04:13:01,772 --> 04:13:04,909
meeting. Had to do with sanitation,

4593
04:13:04,909 --> 04:13:07,695
with littering, with public safety.

4594
04:13:07,695 --> 04:13:11,895
Making sure the public access wasn't blocked.

4595
04:13:15,770 --> 04:13:18,472
And during that meeting staff was asked to try to

4596
04:13:18,472 --> 04:13:20,474
investigate some of these areas and go and see if

4597
04:13:20,474 --> 04:13:21,692
there was someing that could or should be done in

4598
04:13:21,692 --> 04:13:24,829
some of these. Places four of the

4599
04:13:24,829 --> 04:13:27,615
possible locations or the locations that were brght up.

4600
04:13:27,615 --> 04:13:31,169
Had to do with parking on east Bennett road.

4601
04:13:31,169 --> 04:13:36,569
On lake van Norton road up in east county.

4602
04:14:04,468 --> 04:14:06,187
As well, what I would like to do today is

4603
04:14:06,187 --> 04:14:12,187
give you one presentation for all four of the ordinances.

4604
04:14:54,252 --> 04:14:55,253
Areas that we've had complaints with areas that

4605
04:14:55,253 --> 04:14:58,853
we've seen idence of overnight parking.

4606
04:15:43,984 --> 04:15:45,860
Nine again, similar to east Bennett. We are proposing

4607
04:15:45,860 --> 04:15:48,686
10:00 PM to 5:00 AM for no parking.

4608
04:15:49,173 --> 04:15:51,158
Staff did go out and we looked at several locations

4609
04:15:51,158 --> 04:15:55,358
where there was evidence. From overnight parking.

4610
04:15:55,930 --> 04:15:57,648
And belief that these are the areas that would most

4611
04:15:57,648 --> 04:16:01,248
benefit from the no overnight parking.

4612
04:16:05,356 --> 04:16:07,658
Mm-hmm the last road that we have for you

4613
04:16:07,658 --> 04:16:09,827
today has to do with combi road. And this is

4614
04:16:09,827 --> 04:16:11,829
a little different in that we've got not only.

4615
04:16:11,829 --> 04:16:13,898
A proposal for no parking at certain locations, but it's

4616
04:16:13,898 --> 04:16:18,669
also got no overnight parking. As an example, as you look up

4617
04:16:18,669 --> 04:16:19,970
at the intersection of Magnolia and combi, we've

4618
04:16:19,970 --> 04:16:24,875
got those slotted as no parking at any time. And the

4619
04:16:24,875 --> 04:16:27,875
thought there is to try.

4620
04:16:32,950 --> 04:16:34,118
To limit site distance, or there is limited size distance.

4621
04:16:34,118 --> 04:16:38,918
Those vehicles turn off of Magnolia onto combi.

4622
04:16:52,269 --> 04:16:55,869
This would be items H I.

4623
04:16:58,275 --> 04:17:00,594
J and K they're all very similar with regard to

4624
04:17:00,594 --> 04:17:02,196
restricted parking on the roads that we just went over

4625
04:17:02,196 --> 04:17:04,365
east Bennett. Combi old state highway 49, as

4626
04:17:04,365 --> 04:17:07,965
well as lake van Norton road.

4627
04:17:10,471 --> 04:17:13,274
Wrote, and that concludes my presentation and I would be

4628
04:17:13,274 --> 04:17:15,776
happy to answer, respond to any questions you may have.

4629
04:17:15,776 --> 04:17:16,811
Great. Thank you for the presentation questions for

4630
04:17:16,811 --> 04:17:19,211
staff Hardy, any questions?

4631
04:17:21,349 --> 04:17:24,385
Questions. I, I don't believe so. I just one question

4632
04:17:24,385 --> 04:17:25,486
maybe. For the law enforcement

4633
04:17:25,486 --> 04:17:28,550
partners and just. When you ran this by them,

4634
04:17:28,550 --> 04:17:31,550
was there. Enforcement activity or

4635
04:17:31,125 --> 04:17:34,829
their plan. To actually do the enforcement

4636
04:17:34,829 --> 04:17:36,163
did was there operational discussion

4637
04:17:36,163 --> 04:17:38,163
about that?

4638
04:17:42,203 --> 04:17:43,704
There weren't a lot of discussions we had heard in

4639
04:17:43,704 --> 04:17:46,700
the past that in particular in east county that the

4640
04:17:46,700 --> 04:17:48,376
sheriff didn't have the ability to go out and ask

4641
04:17:48,376 --> 04:17:49,643
people. To not camp overnight or park

4642
04:17:49,643 --> 04:17:53,681
in the roads. I reached out to the Sheriff's

4643
04:17:53,681 --> 04:17:55,216
department up there and I didn't receive any feedback.

4644
04:17:55,216 --> 04:17:57,918
So at least the signs at this point will give them

4645
04:17:57,918 --> 04:18:01,856
the authority to either write tickets or ask.

4646
04:18:01,856 --> 04:18:06,193
People to leave. Sounds good. I know. Notice the two

4647
04:18:06,193 --> 04:18:08,262
locations, but a lot of the other locations had, you

4648
04:18:08,262 --> 04:18:09,263
know, 10 to 12 sign. Signs. And there's just two.

4649
04:18:09,263 --> 04:18:10,464
Is there a reason why we're not putting 'em

4650
04:18:10,464 --> 04:18:11,332
in between. The thought on this was that

4651
04:18:11,332 --> 04:18:13,732
there are no other.

4652
04:18:16,671 --> 04:18:19,600
Roads access roads in and out. Additionally, as it's a

4653
04:18:19,600 --> 04:18:20,675
little bit more remote than the other areas, our thought

4654
04:18:20,675 --> 04:18:21,842
was that if we placed a bunch of signs out

4655
04:18:21,842 --> 04:18:24,278
in that area, it vandalism was definitely a

4656
04:18:24,278 --> 04:18:28,490
concern. And so the thought was that in order to get

4657
04:18:28,490 --> 04:18:29,283
anywhere along. Lake lake van Norton road. You

4658
04:18:29,283 --> 04:18:30,284
had to come in and go past a sign in similar

4659
04:18:30,284 --> 04:18:32,419
to what we do with snow removal.

4660
04:18:32,419 --> 04:18:33,787
We put signs at the entrance to the major roads.

4661
04:18:33,787 --> 04:18:34,922
And then that way everybody knows.

4662
04:18:34,922 --> 04:18:39,122
Knows. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

4663
04:18:43,764 --> 04:18:44,798
I'm mostly interested in east Bennett, obviously.

4664
04:18:44,798 --> 04:18:48,398
That's where. Connects more connected to

4665
04:18:48,869 --> 04:18:53,700
my district. That's a lot of signs. Can you

4666
04:18:53,700 --> 04:18:55,900
just talk a little bit about what you saw

4667
04:18:55,900 --> 04:18:56,577
there and why so many.

4668
04:18:56,577 --> 04:19:00,247
It is a lot of signs and they are.

4669
04:19:00,247 --> 04:19:01,549
Expensive quite frankly, by the time you put out that

4670
04:19:01,549 --> 04:19:03,250
many signs, you spend the time to go out there

4671
04:19:03,250 --> 04:19:05,250
and install 'em.

4672
04:19:08,422 --> 04:19:09,456
From a law enforcement standpoint, the science need

4673
04:19:09,456 --> 04:19:10,859
to be visible. And if somebody were

4674
04:19:10,859 --> 04:19:12,694
to go out there and do some sort of overnight

4675
04:19:12,694 --> 04:19:14,462
parking and you can't see the sign, it makes it.

4676
04:19:14,462 --> 04:19:16,531
More difficult for the sheriff or grass valley PD, whomever

4677
04:19:16,531 --> 04:19:20,731
is out there to enforce them. So.

4678
04:19:21,936 --> 04:19:23,605
When they go before the court, it's easier for the

4679
04:19:23,605 --> 04:19:26,700
sheriff to take a picture of the situation, say here's

4680
04:19:26,700 --> 04:19:27,342
a picture of the car. Here's a picture of the

4681
04:19:27,342 --> 04:19:28,543
no parking sign. And all of these areas are

4682
04:19:28,543 --> 04:19:29,577
areas you've had complaints about.

4683
04:19:29,577 --> 04:19:31,577
Correct. Okay.

4684
04:19:36,117 --> 04:19:40,917
Patrick just to, and for just, maybe everybody

4685
04:19:40,989 --> 04:19:43,389
listening for additional information.

4686
04:19:47,996 --> 04:19:50,310
Can you name some of the generalized areas where you

4687
04:19:50,310 --> 04:19:52,367
can safely park your car overnight in Nevada county?

4688
04:19:52,367 --> 04:19:57,167
Oh, I didn't come prepared for that question.

4689
04:20:00,942 --> 04:20:03,578
I would say there are areas throughout the county where

4690
04:20:03,578 --> 04:20:04,713
there are camp grounds that people can park. There are

4691
04:20:04,713 --> 04:20:08,516
state parks, so people can go. That would be my suggestion or

4692
04:20:08,516 --> 04:20:09,884
there are some of the RV parks where people can

4693
04:20:09,884 --> 04:20:11,820
go depending on what kind of vehicle that they have.

4694
04:20:11,820 --> 04:20:12,587
These particular areas are showing.

4695
04:20:12,587 --> 04:20:14,587
Signs of

4696
04:20:19,194 --> 04:20:22,297
F litter, trash, things like that. And so this particular

4697
04:20:22,297 --> 04:20:25,700
is why we've selected these for no for no parking.

4698
04:20:25,700 --> 04:20:27,335
Yeah, thank you. But one of my questions, there are

4699
04:20:27,335 --> 04:20:29,871
other areas in unincorporated Nevada county.

4700
04:20:29,871 --> 04:20:32,507
Or maybe even incorporated areas where it is legal to

4701
04:20:32,507 --> 04:20:33,942
park your car off of the right of way.

4702
04:20:33,942 --> 04:20:36,544
If the right of way is wide enough off the

4703
04:20:36,544 --> 04:20:39,544
travel way and sleep overnight.

4704
04:20:41,216 --> 04:20:42,884
There are places throughout Nevada county. If there is no

4705
04:20:42,884 --> 04:20:45,687
posted signs and it is not a safety hazard, they're

4706
04:20:45,687 --> 04:20:47,389
not blocking traffic, things like that. They can pull off

4707
04:20:47,389 --> 04:20:48,890
to the. Side of the road. Yes.

4708
04:20:48,890 --> 04:20:50,890
Perfect. Thank you.

4709
04:20:54,262 --> 04:20:55,997
No, I think this is good. I, I know that

4710
04:20:55,997 --> 04:20:57,499
probably this is the biggest thing, like a minus up

4711
04:20:57,499 --> 04:20:59,401
on oh, 49. And it's a little secluded in

4712
04:20:59,401 --> 04:21:00,435
there and we've had to clean the lot of different

4713
04:21:00,435 --> 04:21:04,689
and dumping. Was the other big challenge we

4714
04:21:04,689 --> 04:21:06,740
have on that area as well. So yeah, no, I'm in

4715
04:21:06,740 --> 04:21:09,740
support of this. Thank you.

4716
04:21:09,511 --> 04:21:15,511
Yeah, thank you. I I know there, there are places.

4717
04:21:22,400 --> 04:21:25,260
That especially close in, in the city limits of grass

4718
04:21:25,260 --> 04:21:27,262
valley, Nevada city, as well as close in grass valley,

4719
04:21:27,262 --> 04:21:29,662
Nevada city, where it.

4720
04:21:33,635 --> 04:21:34,569
Is acceptable that the, the cities at least

4721
04:21:34,569 --> 04:21:35,537
acknowledge. And I think the Sheriff's office

4722
04:21:35,537 --> 04:21:36,804
acknowledges that people are gonna

4723
04:21:36,804 --> 04:21:38,189
pa there. What I typically will see is

4724
04:21:38,189 --> 04:21:42,744
trucks, you know, hauling. Yeah, no, not more commercial

4725
04:21:42,744 --> 04:21:45,947
vehicles that have need a place to park overnight park

4726
04:21:45,947 --> 04:21:47,765
their vehicle. Doesn't and I think it's

4727
04:21:47,765 --> 04:21:49,367
really also important to, to say that.

4728
04:21:49,367 --> 04:21:54,189
The distinction, not everybody who parks a vehicle like that.

4729
04:21:54,189 --> 04:21:56,241
Is camping in it. So I think we need to

4730
04:21:56,241 --> 04:21:59,241
recognize that it's not just.

4731
04:22:02,664 --> 04:22:04,432
where they, you know, have an extra vehicle that they

4732
04:22:04,432 --> 04:22:06,451
need to park at somewhere. So. I I support this. I've gotten.

4733
04:22:06,451 --> 04:22:11,251
Numerous phone calls in the east Bennett area.

4734
04:22:14,509 --> 04:22:17,629
Cuz there's some significant homeless issues out there. So I

4735
04:22:17,629 --> 04:22:19,364
think that will appreciate the property owners anywhere

4736
04:22:19,364 --> 04:22:21,820
will appreciate this type of an ordinance.

4737
04:22:21,820 --> 04:22:25,153
So I think with that, I will open it up for public

4738
04:22:25,153 --> 04:22:27,205
comment and we will be taking public comment

4739
04:22:27,205 --> 04:22:30,805
on all four of the locations.

4740
04:22:35,196 --> 04:22:36,314
Good afterno supervisors, Tom Durkin, no place to

4741
04:22:36,314 --> 04:22:39,951
go project. We don't object to the, we

4742
04:22:39,951 --> 04:22:43,705
don't object to the parking ordinance at all.

4743
04:22:43,705 --> 04:22:45,340
What we object to is that we don't know where

4744
04:22:45,340 --> 04:22:47,740
people can park. Half

4745
04:22:49,327 --> 04:22:51,246
the people in LA county live in their cars.

4746
04:22:51,246 --> 04:22:53,882
That are homeless over a million people.

4747
04:22:53,882 --> 04:22:56,534
In this country live in their cars.

4748
04:22:56,534 --> 04:22:57,936
Not because they're bad people. It's because there's

4749
04:22:57,936 --> 04:23:02,136
no housing. They have no other choice.

4750
04:23:13,301 --> 04:23:14,335
The effect of this ordinance, especially the east

4751
04:23:14,335 --> 04:23:16,200
Bennett things. That's where a lot of homeless

4752
04:23:16,200 --> 04:23:19,200
people camp, you know? Oh,

4753
04:23:19,724 --> 04:23:22,810
and if you're moving them out of these parking places,

4754
04:23:22,810 --> 04:23:24,379
they're gonna move in two places. They're gonna go into

4755
04:23:24,379 --> 04:23:25,313
neighborhoods. Neighborhoods. And we already

4756
04:23:25,313 --> 04:23:27,932
know they don't wa people in neighborhoods.

4757
04:23:27,932 --> 04:23:29,434
Neighborhoods and I wasn't gonna go out in the woods

4758
04:23:29,434 --> 04:23:32,153
and whereas they create a larger risk for fire.

4759
04:23:32,153 --> 04:23:37,553
So moving the problem is not solving the problem.

4760
04:23:41,162 --> 04:23:42,163
It's you know, the Sheriff's department has said

4761
04:23:42,163 --> 04:23:44,563
we're, they're playing. Whack-a-mole.

4762
04:23:45,200 --> 04:23:46,351
And people's lives are already pretty miserable. If

4763
04:23:46,351 --> 04:23:49,351
they're living in a car.

4764
04:23:49,754 --> 04:23:50,905
To be woken up at two o'clock in the morning

4765
04:23:50,905 --> 04:23:55,105
with a policeman's flashlight in your face.

4766
04:23:55,176 --> 04:23:56,561
Just makes your life more miserable. You know, I've been

4767
04:23:56,561 --> 04:24:01,361
there, I've been through this. I've been homeless.

4768
04:24:07,500 --> 04:24:09,405
There are safe parking.

4769
04:24:12,560 --> 04:24:13,661
Pro programs. Monterey county is an excellent example.

4770
04:24:13,661 --> 04:24:15,296
The one starfish program I sent you all.

4771
04:24:15,296 --> 04:24:20,960
Written comment about that. What are the penalties?

4772
04:24:22,804 --> 04:24:26,404
For people who get caught barking.

4773
04:24:28,826 --> 04:24:31,946
Illegally are they gonna get tickets? Are they gonna get

4774
04:24:31,946 --> 04:24:33,481
fined? Are they gonna get sent to jail?

4775
04:24:33,481 --> 04:24:34,782
You already realize these people are very low

4776
04:24:34,782 --> 04:24:38,382
income, even if they have jobs.

4777
04:24:39,504 --> 04:24:40,638
Somebody's with families. These are people working jobs.

4778
04:24:40,638 --> 04:24:43,224
These are people going to school.

4779
04:24:43,224 --> 04:24:46,824
Starting their businesses. We need to

4780
04:24:46,911 --> 04:24:49,213
treat them like real citizens. Citizens and not just move

4781
04:24:49,213 --> 04:24:51,299
'em around. I me, I work with

4782
04:24:51,299 --> 04:24:56,990
these people. All the time I would love.

4783
04:24:56,621 --> 04:24:57,922
It's news to me that there's a place of safe

4784
04:24:57,922 --> 04:25:01,522
places to park. And if there's

4785
04:25:03,678 --> 04:25:05,780
a trash problem because there's no trash cans.

4786
04:25:05,780 --> 04:25:08,232
Cans, give 'em chance to throw it away. We.

4787
04:25:08,232 --> 04:25:12,432
Issue plastic bags all the time. And

4788
04:25:13,354 --> 04:25:15,923
we'd like, you just. Consider these are

4789
04:25:15,923 --> 04:25:17,923
your citizens.

4790
04:25:23,197 --> 04:25:27,485
Citizens and chasing them around is not so solving the

4791
04:25:27,485 --> 04:25:28,686
problem. It's not their fault. There's no housing and we need

4792
04:25:28,686 --> 04:25:30,154
to take care of them. Not punish them for

4793
04:25:30,154 --> 04:25:32,240
being homeless. Thank you.

4794
04:25:32,240 --> 04:25:35,240
Thank you additional. Go ahead.

4795
04:25:39,641 --> 04:25:41,226
I'm here to support Tom with the no place to

4796
04:25:41,226 --> 04:25:44,829
go project. . I was already here today. .

4797
04:25:44,829 --> 04:25:46,848
First of all I know your job. I justanna

4798
04:25:46,848 --> 04:25:49,350
thank you for. For overseeing our county

4799
04:25:49,350 --> 04:25:54,150
here, Nevada county is. Exceptional. I was homeless.

4800
04:25:55,730 --> 04:25:58,730
In 2008, we had the crisis.

4801
04:25:59,727 --> 04:26:02,647
In which the banks did not come through to help

4802
04:26:02,647 --> 04:26:03,748
us. And I lost my home in

4803
04:26:03,748 --> 04:26:06,748
lake Wildwood. Taxpayer worker, family

4804
04:26:08,360 --> 04:26:11,390
oriented, married 30 years. And I found myself living in

4805
04:26:11,390 --> 04:26:15,839
my vehicle. Was one of the most difficult.

4806
04:26:21,232 --> 04:26:23,701
Things that I ever had to go through as far

4807
04:26:23,701 --> 04:26:25,670
as trying to find your way up. From being at the bottom

4808
04:26:25,670 --> 04:26:28,670
that way. I did park.

4809
04:26:29,230 --> 04:26:32,430
I had the police point guns at me.

4810
04:26:32,430 --> 04:26:35,430
I was terrified every night.

4811
04:26:41,352 --> 04:26:42,320
Because there's people wandering around because

4812
04:26:42,320 --> 04:26:45,924
they're homeless in the middle of the night.

4813
04:26:45,924 --> 04:26:49,277
And I never had to liv Where I didn't have a place

4814
04:26:49,277 --> 04:26:54,632
that was safe. I had a roof over my head.

4815
04:26:54,632 --> 04:26:57,385
Every night, my whole life. And so when I experience this.

4816
04:26:57,385 --> 04:27:00,288
I'm just gonna say that. I think.

4817
04:27:00,288 --> 04:27:04,488
If you give it some thought about.

4818
04:27:06,361 --> 04:27:08,596
Having a safe parking. I don't know how this would

4819
04:27:08,596 --> 04:27:13,251
look. I know Tom has been put in everything into.

4820
04:27:13,251 --> 04:27:15,486
Trying to make something work for these folks. I work

4821
04:27:15,486 --> 04:27:17,472
for Sierra roots. I don't work for 'em, but I

4822
04:27:17,472 --> 04:27:19,400
volunteer for them. So I do. Have contact with most of

4823
04:27:19,400 --> 04:27:23,940
the homeless. In the area. I see, you know,

4824
04:27:23,940 --> 04:27:25,960
I've been there too. I mean, I have to say I'm

4825
04:27:25,960 --> 04:27:26,981
not there now.

4826
04:27:26,981 --> 04:27:27,782
I have a home and, and everything is.

4827
04:27:27,782 --> 04:27:29,782
Safe, but

4828
04:27:36,758 --> 04:27:37,692
scattering him around and chasing him by the

4829
04:27:37,692 --> 04:27:39,193
police getting this way and that way. And you

4830
04:27:39,193 --> 04:27:41,713
can't be here in signs and tickets.

4831
04:27:41,713 --> 04:27:43,648
And all these things, and I'm not dissing anybody in

4832
04:27:43,648 --> 04:27:44,982
this room because I think none of us have really

4833
04:27:44,982 --> 04:27:46,840
been there. But I don't think that's

4834
04:27:46,840 --> 04:27:49,300
the answer. I, I, I'm not sure what the

4835
04:27:49,300 --> 04:27:51,300
answer is.

4836
04:27:56,811 --> 04:27:58,813
I am working with the first Baptist church in Nevada

4837
04:27:58,813 --> 04:28:00,982
city to see if they would allow for safe parking

4838
04:28:00,982 --> 04:28:01,966
in their parking lot in the back overnight.

4839
04:28:01,966 --> 04:28:04,202
And I'm in there with Jesus. Because these are people who.

4840
04:28:04,202 --> 04:28:06,202
Profess the Lord.

4841
04:28:09,757 --> 04:28:11,426
And I profess the Lord too, and it says.

4842
04:28:11,426 --> 04:28:18,260
That we're supposed to help. And so I only have 22 seconds.

4843
04:28:21,469 --> 04:28:23,988
So I'll just say that let's just keep it open

4844
04:28:23,988 --> 04:28:25,289
to decisions that can be made for change.

4845
04:28:25,289 --> 04:28:28,376
Thank you for listening today. Thank you.

4846
04:28:28,376 --> 04:28:31,896
Do we have some callers? We do have three calrs

4847
04:28:31,896 --> 04:28:37,296
chair. Okay. Let's go ahead and take the calls.

4848
04:28:40,788 --> 04:28:43,441
Hello? I don't know. Who's first.

4849
04:28:43,441 --> 04:28:45,441
Yaron. Go ahead.

4850
04:28:52,583 --> 04:28:54,619
Fine. I'm Sean cowbell from down in Penn valley. And

4851
04:28:54,619 --> 04:28:56,587
I wanna say this first, I've only got three minutes.

4852
04:28:56,587 --> 04:29:00,808
I can't see the clock sign, sign everywhere.

4853
04:29:00,808 --> 04:29:04,162
Signs dropping up the scene. Rebreak and my mindo

4854
04:29:04,162 --> 04:29:06,881
this and don't do that cancer. Read the sign.

4855
04:29:06,881 --> 04:29:08,182
And the sign said everybody welcome. Come in,

4856
04:29:08,182 --> 04:29:10,582
kneel down and pray.

4857
04:29:18,359 --> 04:29:20,928
But when they packed around the plate at the end

4858
04:29:20,928 --> 04:29:23,114
of the day, you know, I didn't have a penny

4859
04:29:23,114 --> 04:29:26,818
to pay. So I got me a pen and a. Paper. And I wrote down my own

4860
04:29:26,818 --> 04:29:29,604
little sign and said, thank you God, for

4861
04:29:29,604 --> 04:29:31,372
thinking about me, I'm alive. And I need someone.

4862
04:29:31,372 --> 04:29:33,725
To be kind so, you know, we can't give

4863
04:29:33,725 --> 04:29:36,961
fine. We're gotta find grants. First of all, lemme

4864
04:29:36,961 --> 04:29:38,379
tell, you'll appreciate what you're

4865
04:29:38,379 --> 04:29:39,213
doing there. And I, I, I know a couple

4866
04:29:39,213 --> 04:29:43,768
of you. And, and I love a couple of

4867
04:29:43,768 --> 04:29:45,136
this just cuz I know you and I know you got

4868
04:29:45,136 --> 04:29:47,880
good intention, but yeah, I.

4869
04:29:47,880 --> 04:29:50,591
I mean, are you kidding me? But they can't park.

4870
04:29:50,591 --> 04:29:54,191
Where's the Christianity we're hearing about.

4871
04:29:54,345 --> 04:29:55,479
I don't know how many of you guys are Republicans,

4872
04:29:55,479 --> 04:29:57,980
but you know, that's the whole thing, Christians.

4873
04:29:57,980 --> 04:29:59,980
ere is it?

4874
04:30:04,422 --> 04:30:07,240
And Tom is absolutely right. You wanna fix it? You

4875
04:30:07,240 --> 04:30:09,100
can fix it. It's so damn easy to fix you.

4876
04:30:09,100 --> 04:30:13,447
Figure out a place. How about the fairground?

4877
04:30:13,447 --> 04:30:15,700
Why don't we get designated place of the fairgrounds? Why

4878
04:30:15,700 --> 04:30:17,100
don't we buy a little place and make a little

4879
04:30:17,100 --> 04:30:19,387
camping park? Why don't we talk to the people across

4880
04:30:19,387 --> 04:30:20,354
the fair? Oh, yeah, we couldn't do that

4881
04:30:20,354 --> 04:30:25,476
because that's too white. We wouldn't want any of those

4882
04:30:25,476 --> 04:30:27,211
well off people who have these big elaborate

4883
04:30:27,211 --> 04:30:29,247
things that they sleep in, who live in and drive around as

4884
04:30:29,247 --> 04:30:30,932
their second home. Because we don't want them to

4885
04:30:30,932 --> 04:30:31,832
see that we have homeless people because

4886
04:30:31,832 --> 04:30:32,700
it would. Break up the illusion of

4887
04:30:32,700 --> 04:30:35,100
Nevada city. Come on.

4888
04:30:36,587 --> 04:30:38,587
Where's your humanity.

4889
04:30:47,640 --> 04:30:50,268
Find the money, ask the county for the money, ask,

4890
04:30:50,268 --> 04:30:52,620
you know, ask human beings in the county. And I

4891
04:30:52,620 --> 04:30:53,588
don't mean county government. I mean, ask the.

4892
04:30:53,588 --> 04:30:55,560
People let's have big meetings that aren't just at the

4893
04:30:55,560 --> 04:30:58,560
boards. Boards like somewhere else,

4894
04:30:59,377 --> 04:31:00,545
you know, where we sit down and talk and we really talk to

4895
04:31:00,545 --> 04:31:03,140
each other. We people need a place to park.

4896
04:31:03,140 --> 04:31:06,250
Hey, I'll put it. How come we don't have potty,

4897
04:31:06,250 --> 04:31:09,850
you know, those movable toilets around.

4898
04:31:11,322 --> 04:31:14,425
Garbage cans. He's exactly right. They don't put it in

4899
04:31:14,425 --> 04:31:15,593
the garbage cans cuz there aren't any garbage cans because

4900
04:31:15,593 --> 04:31:16,627
garbage cans on the street wouldn't look good.

4901
04:31:16,627 --> 04:31:17,662
I can't help a, but think that a whole bunch

4902
04:31:17,662 --> 04:31:18,462
are there. It's like this elite.

4903
04:31:18,462 --> 04:31:20,462
And it's disgusting.

4904
04:31:27,271 --> 04:31:28,606
Disgust, it's ******* disgusting disgust. And I

4905
04:31:28,606 --> 04:31:29,774
don't say it's all you guys doing it because

4906
04:31:29,774 --> 04:31:31,420
I know you're getting phone calls just like mine

4907
04:31:31,420 --> 04:31:36,280
from the other side. Saying, don't let him park here.

4908
04:31:36,280 --> 04:31:38,820
I'm living in a trailer and I can't believe how

4909
04:31:38,820 --> 04:31:40,484
many social board supervisors I went to in the early

4910
04:31:40,484 --> 04:31:41,319
eighties. Eighties begging you to let

4911
04:31:41,319 --> 04:31:44,355
people live in the trailer. Begging you. I could bear.

4912
04:31:44,355 --> 04:31:47,725
I bought. All right. Thank you for your

4913
04:31:47,725 --> 04:31:48,893
comments. You take the next color.

4914
04:31:48,893 --> 04:31:50,893
Next color, please.

4915
04:31:57,435 --> 04:31:59,570
Hello, my name is Pamela Rosada. Can you hear me?

4916
04:31:59,570 --> 04:32:03,770
Yes, we can hear you. Go ahead.

4917
04:32:06,365 --> 04:32:08,330
Thank you. You have comments from me in your meeting

4918
04:32:08,330 --> 04:32:09,835
packet that I decided to call because I felt this

4919
04:32:09,835 --> 04:32:13,238
was important. From my perspective, the

4920
04:32:13,238 --> 04:32:14,773
neighbors that will be harmed by

4921
04:32:14,773 --> 04:32:16,942
this initiative the most are some of our most vulnerable

4922
04:32:16,942 --> 04:32:18,942
citizens.

4923
04:32:21,980 --> 04:32:23,582
Citizens implore you to look for options to mitigate the

4924
04:32:23,582 --> 04:32:25,183
impact of the sport of this ordinance on them. And

4925
04:32:25,183 --> 04:32:28,453
I'm calling in to talk about one potential solution that

4926
04:32:28,453 --> 04:32:32,653
according. To the anecdotal evidence on a

4927
04:32:33,992 --> 04:32:37,195
Facebook threat on Nevada county, conscious community

4928
04:32:37,195 --> 04:32:38,830
and housing forum with 171 reactions and

4929
04:32:38,830 --> 04:32:39,831
57 comments, many. Community members support the

4930
04:32:39,831 --> 04:32:41,700
idea of safe parking programs. Local RV parks are great yet.

4931
04:32:41,700 --> 04:32:43,735
Not everyone can afford to pay the fees on a

4932
04:32:43,735 --> 04:32:47,172
regular basis. And random parking spots. As

4933
04:32:47,172 --> 04:32:52,572
we heard create public safety issues in both directions.

4934
04:32:54,646 --> 04:32:55,647
As retired legislative staff who often worked on

4935
04:32:55,647 --> 04:32:57,416
housing issues. I understand the complexity of

4936
04:32:57,416 --> 04:33:00,252
balancing the desires of house constituents to not have people.

4937
04:33:00,252 --> 04:33:03,500
Camping on their streets with the public safety issue of

4938
04:33:03,500 --> 04:33:04,720
our unhoused community, leaving safe places to park

4939
04:33:04,720 --> 04:33:04,840
and sleep. The face of our unhoused

4940
04:33:04,840 --> 04:33:05,674
community has changed considerably in

4941
04:33:05,674 --> 04:33:10,474
the past decade. In these modern times, many,

4942
04:33:11,163 --> 04:33:12,447
if not most milies and individuals with paycheck to

4943
04:33:12,447 --> 04:33:14,950
paycheck, all it takes is one financial crisis for a family

4944
04:33:14,950 --> 04:33:16,568
or individual to find themselves.

4945
04:33:16,568 --> 04:33:17,602
On the streets. This is especially concerning it's

4946
04:33:17,602 --> 04:33:19,204
more and more families lose access to

4947
04:33:19,204 --> 04:33:23,959
affordable healthcare. Every year, we are seeing more

4948
04:33:23,959 --> 04:33:25,143
and more working individuals and working families and

4949
04:33:25,143 --> 04:33:27,579
students spiraling into homelessness. This crisis

4950
04:33:27,579 --> 04:33:29,281
will only get worse. Criminalizing people already

4951
04:33:29,281 --> 04:33:32,534
down on their luck wilnot fix the problem.

4952
04:33:32,534 --> 04:33:33,669
Trailblazed in California, safe parking programs are now

4953
04:33:33,669 --> 04:33:36,690
spreading across the nation.

4954
04:33:41,109 --> 04:33:42,844
The San Diego dreams for change program is the program

4955
04:33:42,844 --> 04:33:45,464
model for creating their own. You can learn more about that

4956
04:33:45,464 --> 04:33:49,640
program at deems dreams for change.

4957
04:33:49,685 --> 04:33:51,720
Dot org at a minimum, these programs provide a safe

4958
04:33:51,720 --> 04:33:53,739
place to park overnight with a security officer on site.

4959
04:33:53,739 --> 04:33:55,507
Some also offer a hot breakfast, portable latrines.

4960
04:33:55,507 --> 04:33:59,707
Latrines and showers and other supportive services.

4961
04:34:00,829 --> 04:34:03,482
Services many of the patrons are employed and safe. Parking

4962
04:34:03,482 --> 04:34:05,584
programs with supportive services. Allow them a way

4963
04:34:05,584 --> 04:34:07,520
to be rested and ready for their jobs.

4964
04:34:07,520 --> 04:34:11,852
Same with drug sheets, job seekers and students.

4965
04:34:13,358 --> 04:34:14,393
Students for our unemployed. These are an unhoused

4966
04:34:14,393 --> 04:34:16,928
neighbors. These programs offer the opportunity

4967
04:34:16,928 --> 04:34:18,413
to connect thewith supportive services.

4968
04:34:18,413 --> 04:34:20,749
And if they're resistant to that,

4969
04:34:20,749 --> 04:34:22,200
having them in the parking lot over and over will

4970
04:34:22,200 --> 04:34:24,536
entually build the trust that might make them open to

4971
04:34:24,536 --> 04:34:25,203
it. I'm gonna tell you about

4972
04:34:25,203 --> 04:34:29,403
two smaller. Two of the financing models

4973
04:34:30,759 --> 04:34:31,526
used by smaller counties, similar

4974
04:34:31,526 --> 04:34:33,478
to ours. If there are other strategies and programs across

4975
04:34:33,478 --> 04:34:37,678
the country. Last night, I pulled together

4976
04:34:37,733 --> 04:34:38,567
a brief policy document, including

4977
04:34:38,567 --> 04:34:39,634
key citations and strategic findings, financial and

4978
04:34:39,634 --> 04:34:43,355
local supervisors.rations for Supervisors as well as an

4979
04:34:43,355 --> 04:34:45,190
addendum that discusses municipal zoning

4980
04:34:45,190 --> 04:34:49,390
and regulatory and has a regulatory matrix.

4981
04:34:50,512 --> 04:34:52,531
For safe parking programs. I'll forward that to Sue Mike

4982
04:34:52,531 --> 04:34:53,465
Sue hook, Mike county supervisor. So she can

4983
04:34:53,465 --> 04:34:56,635
disseminate it that way. If the rest of my.

4984
04:34:56,635 --> 04:34:57,652
Comments get cut off. You'll know what I was going

4985
04:34:57,652 --> 04:34:59,540
to say. The great news is that tap

4986
04:34:59,540 --> 04:35:01,690
funding, the homeless assistant host, homeless housing

4987
04:35:01,690 --> 04:35:06,490
assistance and prevention. Thank you for your comments.

4988
04:35:10,315 --> 04:35:14,703
Comments and we'll put that, we'll get that information. The

4989
04:35:14,703 --> 04:35:15,804
rest of it to the board. All right, one more, one more

4990
04:35:15,804 --> 04:35:19,404
caller. Go ahead. Yeah. My call.

4991
04:35:19,691 --> 04:35:22,294
My name is Judy Wheeler. I live in district three.

4992
04:35:22,294 --> 04:35:26,982
I'm calling advocate. For a safe parking area for

4993
04:35:26,982 --> 04:35:30,702
those people that are living in the vehicles.

4994
04:35:30,702 --> 04:35:33,522
Vehicles, I'd moved to Nevada county in 2013.

4995
04:35:33,522 --> 04:35:35,991
Rented a house in lake Wildwood. And after about five

4996
04:35:35,991 --> 04:35:37,991
years there.

4997
04:35:40,812 --> 04:35:42,447
The landlord suddenly and unexpectedly decided to sell

4998
04:35:42,447 --> 04:35:46,835
the use. And I didn't have enough time.

4999
04:35:46,835 --> 04:35:50,856
To secure housing. So it was on this day.

5000
04:35:50,856 --> 04:35:55,560
Nine years ago that I became homeless.

5001
04:35:56,611 --> 04:36:00,811
I spent 22 months living in my car.

5002
04:36:01,299 --> 04:36:04,286
I was alone for the first four months. And then.

5003
04:36:04,286 --> 04:36:05,453
With my best friend in companion for the remainder of

5004
04:36:05,453 --> 04:36:07,453
the time.

5005
04:36:11,443 --> 04:36:13,628
But, you know, every evening as the sun was going

5006
04:36:13,628 --> 04:36:17,916
down, we'd have to start thinking about where we were

5007
04:36:17,916 --> 04:36:18,817
gonna park. We had to rotate. We couldn't

5008
04:36:18,817 --> 04:36:21,520
stay in the same spot every night.

5009
04:36:21,520 --> 04:36:23,772
No matter where we went. Law enforcement was always

5010
04:36:23,772 --> 04:36:25,772
right behind us.

5011
04:36:28,793 --> 04:36:31,663
And it, it kind of felt like a flying insect

5012
04:36:31,663 --> 04:36:33,315
that couldn't find anywhere to sit down because.

5013
04:36:33,315 --> 04:36:36,418
They were right. Following us with the move along slaughter.

5014
04:36:36,418 --> 04:36:38,418
And it caused

5015
04:36:40,338 --> 04:36:41,206
caused anxiety, health decline from sleep

5016
04:36:41,206 --> 04:36:44,806
deprivation, hopelessness. Depression, but after eight

5017
04:36:45,827 --> 04:36:48,827
months of living like that,

5018
04:36:51,650 --> 04:36:53,101
some kind and compassionate individuals gave us permission

5019
04:36:53,101 --> 04:36:56,338
to park in the same spot every night.

5020
04:36:56,338 --> 04:37:00,910
So we were free from law enforcement harassment.

5021
04:37:00,910 --> 04:37:02,761
Free from citizens calling to have us moved along.

5022
04:37:02,761 --> 04:37:06,147
Freerom all the anxiety. Because we finally

5023
04:37:06,147 --> 04:37:08,733
had stability. And that made all

5024
04:37:08,733 --> 04:37:10,733
the difference.

5025
04:37:14,122 --> 04:37:19,522
We were able to sleep health, improved outlook, improved.

5026
04:37:23,298 --> 04:37:26,670
Improved in the 14 months we had with that stability

5027
04:37:26,670 --> 04:37:26,968
and routine. Were far better than the eight

5028
04:37:26,968 --> 04:37:27,636
months of anxiety in class.

5029
04:37:27,636 --> 04:37:31,836
So that's why I think we need.

5030
04:37:33,742 --> 04:37:37,379
A safe parking area, a place where these folks who

5031
04:37:37,379 --> 04:37:38,563
are living in their vehicles. Vehicl, which is hard enough

5032
04:37:38,563 --> 04:37:40,498
as it is. It's confined stability and

5033
04:37:40,498 --> 04:37:42,367
I've talked to some people that say it's a bad idea. It's just

5034
04:37:42,367 --> 04:37:44,452
gonna be a wild.

5035
04:37:44,452 --> 04:37:46,788
Free for all a detriment to the community, but.

5036
04:37:46,788 --> 04:37:49,788
Properly supervised with reasonable regulations.

5037
04:37:51,209 --> 04:37:53,440
I think it can work and I know it takes

5038
04:37:53,440 --> 04:37:56,644
money. But please consider creating a

5039
04:37:57,899 --> 04:38:01,119
safe parking space for those living in their vehicles.

5040
04:38:01,119 --> 04:38:02,921
Vehicles. Thank you for taking my call.

5041
04:38:02,921 --> 04:38:08,426
Thank you. Is that the end of our phone calls?

5042
04:38:08,426 --> 04:38:10,695
No other callers chair. Okay. Thank you. Is there anybody

5043
04:38:10,695 --> 04:38:16,695
else in the chambers who wants to make public comment?

5044
04:38:19,700 --> 04:38:20,171
No. Okay. We will close the public comment and bring

5045
04:38:20,171 --> 04:38:24,559
it back for a board discussion or motions.

5046
04:38:24,559 --> 04:38:25,960
Anybody has any additional comments that they wanna

5047
04:38:25,960 --> 04:38:28,960
add? Go ahead. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks

5048
04:38:28,960 --> 04:38:30,949
Tom. For coming down and for all the.

5049
04:38:30,949 --> 04:38:33,930
Commenters and I agree with all of you. I am

5050
04:38:33,930 --> 04:38:35,120
thoroughly cvinced at this point.

5051
04:38:35,120 --> 04:38:37,548
That the county needs to start looking for someplace to

5052
04:38:37,548 --> 04:38:39,233
allow. Cars to park so people can

5053
04:38:39,233 --> 04:38:41,233
stay in them.

5054
04:38:43,987 --> 04:38:46,190
I also appreciate that you're working with the church. The

5055
04:38:46,190 --> 04:38:49,510
church used to be much more involved in helping.

5056
04:38:49,510 --> 04:38:50,577
House our homeless population and giving them places

5057
04:38:50,577 --> 04:38:52,179
overnight. I don't know what's

5058
04:38:52,179 --> 04:38:53,764
happened, but I. Call othem to try to work

5059
04:38:53,764 --> 04:38:55,699
with Tom and others.

5060
04:38:55,699 --> 04:39:00,954
To also provide some help there. I have seen it over the years

5061
04:39:00,954 --> 04:39:02,220
as I've worked on this issue, starting with

5062
04:39:02,220 --> 04:39:03,640
the big cities. Where they p spikes on

5063
04:39:03,640 --> 04:39:05,640
flat surfaces.

5064
04:39:08,428 --> 04:39:10,531
Surfaces and put, handles on benches. So you can't actually,

5065
04:39:10,531 --> 04:39:13,531
people can't actually sleep there.

5066
04:39:16,920 --> 04:39:18,972
I've seen it here more locally in Sacramento and in

5067
04:39:18,972 --> 04:39:20,107
Chico, I've been following what they're doing there.

5068
04:39:20,107 --> 04:39:22,900
You start by saying, no, you can't be in

5069
04:39:22,900 --> 04:39:23,861
your RVs then. You start restricting places

5070
04:39:23,861 --> 04:39:25,929
where you can't park. And then they go further than

5071
04:39:25,929 --> 04:39:27,598
that. Then they start bringing in.

5072
04:39:27,598 --> 04:39:31,798
Bulldozers and bulldozing camps and Chico there.

5073
04:39:32,886 --> 04:39:35,305
They're they're doing all the things to restrict people and

5074
04:39:35,305 --> 04:39:36,440
providing no place for them to go.

5075
04:39:36,440 --> 04:39:40,400
And it's just making the situation.

5076
04:39:40,928 --> 04:39:42,362
Completely untenable. There's it's splitting the community.

5077
04:39:42,362 --> 04:39:45,362
It's unsafe. What they're doing.

5078
04:39:46,216 --> 04:39:48,485
And we're gonna be heading in that direction. If we

5079
04:39:48,485 --> 04:39:51,338
don'come up with an alternative.

5080
04:39:51,338 --> 04:39:52,673
I support what we're doing here. We've targeted

5081
04:39:52,673 --> 04:39:53,857
these places or places where 've had a

5082
04:39:53,857 --> 04:39:57,361
lot of complaints. Complaints. I agree. We have

5083
04:39:57,361 --> 04:39:59,790
to have sanitation. We have to he places where people

5084
04:39:59,790 --> 04:40:02,790
can park where there's sanitation.

5085
04:40:03,500 --> 04:40:05,235
And where it's safe and these places that we're gonna

5086
04:40:05,235 --> 04:40:07,905
restrict are not the right places for people to park.

5087
04:40:07,905 --> 04:40:10,190
But we are squeezing them and puing them out and

5088
04:40:10,190 --> 04:40:13,527
we are gonna have to do more. In my view to find places

5089
04:40:13,527 --> 04:40:16,613
where they can go, we've done a good job.

5090
04:40:16,613 --> 04:40:17,848
In this county with homelessness, I'd hate to

5091
04:40:17,848 --> 04:40:20,248
see us start turning.

5092
04:40:20,701 --> 04:40:22,436
Road and going down the direction that I see so

5093
04:40:22,436 --> 04:40:24,454
many other communities. Where they're just making the

5094
04:40:24,454 --> 04:40:29,854
situation worse. So I would love to how AC.

5095
04:40:31,678 --> 04:40:33,931
Honestly have to hear from my colleagues, but personally I

5096
04:40:33,931 --> 04:40:37,534
would like a CS. Us find someplace that is an

5097
04:40:37,534 --> 04:40:41,734
alternative as we start restricting people's parking.

5098
04:40:44,374 --> 04:40:49,774
Barking. Yeah, I understand. And supervisor hall brings up.

5099
04:40:49,896 --> 04:40:51,565
Some valid points. And we brought this to the board

5100
04:40:51,565 --> 04:40:55,165
at our workshop. Estimate may be 20 21, 20 22.

5101
04:40:56,153 --> 04:40:59,373
We brought the concept of safe parking up.

5102
04:40:59,373 --> 04:41:03,573
It didn't move forward at that time.

5103
04:41:05,829 --> 04:41:07,464
It, there's no reason not to revisit it and talk

5104
04:41:07,464 --> 04:41:09,160
about it again. I think the signs in front of

5105
04:41:09,160 --> 04:41:10,784
me and at least the problems I've heard associated, and

5106
04:41:10,784 --> 04:41:11,785
that I've seen when I'm riding my.

5107
04:41:11,785 --> 04:41:13,754
Bike on these roads or valid reason to put these

5108
04:41:13,754 --> 04:41:16,406
signs up. I think for not only for the

5109
04:41:16,406 --> 04:41:18,342
neighboring safety, but for the safety of the

5110
04:41:18,342 --> 04:41:21,942
participants in that location. I do

5111
04:41:22,229 --> 04:41:26,149
believe that everybody kind of it's an American.

5112
04:41:26,149 --> 04:41:28,285
Privilege to be able to go out on public land

5113
04:41:28,285 --> 04:41:33,685
and camp. If you don't have the means to.

5114
04:41:34,991 --> 04:41:37,427
You know, if camping is, is sole as available. And

5115
04:41:37,427 --> 04:41:42,227
I think there's appropriate places to do that.

5116
04:41:43,250 --> 04:41:44,601
With the appropriate supervision oversight and, you

5117
04:41:44,601 --> 04:41:46,870
know, lack of fire in some of those things.

5118
04:41:46,870 --> 04:41:48,805
But there are, I guess my question earlier was

5119
04:41:48,805 --> 04:41:52,492
there are places To go, unfortunately, they're

5120
04:41:52,492 --> 04:41:54,610
not right in some of these protect, you know, these areas

5121
04:41:54,610 --> 04:41:56,646
rit close to town. Some may be in town. Some may be a

5122
04:41:56,646 --> 04:41:57,614
little farther out, but there are places to.

5123
04:41:57,614 --> 04:41:59,633
Go. I see them routinely in my travels back and

5124
04:41:59,633 --> 04:42:01,368
forth between here in east county.

5125
04:42:01,368 --> 04:42:03,370
And, and I want to help support people in understanding

5126
04:42:03,370 --> 04:42:08,170
and maybe the board can offer some me.

5127
04:42:10,310 --> 04:42:11,712
Information support resources to those people, looking for

5128
04:42:11,712 --> 04:42:14,164
places to go. I mean, it could be that

5129
04:42:14,164 --> 04:42:15,365
it could be that easy in front of us and

5130
04:42:15,365 --> 04:42:16,330
I'd be happy to work with.

5131
04:42:16,330 --> 04:42:21,433
Any of my colleagues on that. Yeah. Yeah. I

5132
04:42:22,220 --> 04:42:28,220
I will agree with my colleagues and, you know, I.

5133
04:42:30,970 --> 04:42:32,599
There was a time in the community where the faith

5134
04:42:32,599 --> 04:42:33,567
community did a lot of work with homelessness

5135
04:42:33,567 --> 04:42:35,567
before hospitality house.

5136
04:42:36,753 --> 04:42:39,906
Had their permanent location. They had a nomadic model.

5137
04:42:39,906 --> 04:42:41,675
Where they would meet at one of the churches in

5138
04:42:41,675 --> 04:42:43,844
downtown grass valley. And they had a bus and they

5139
04:42:43,844 --> 04:42:45,462
got bused to various.

5140
04:42:45,462 --> 04:42:48,331
Churches in the community. And it seemed like at

5141
04:42:48,331 --> 04:42:51,651
that moment. Our faith community was much

5142
04:42:51,651 --> 04:42:54,571
more engaged. So I, severaof the

5143
04:42:54,571 --> 04:42:56,571
correspondence I received.

5144
04:43:02,829 --> 04:43:04,781
Did ask upon us to maybe work with some of

5145
04:43:04,781 --> 04:43:07,384
the, the churches and faith organizations to see if they

5146
04:43:07,384 --> 04:43:10,837
would be willing to reengage on this issue. Cuz.

5147
04:43:10,837 --> 04:43:12,706
It does make sense. Some of them have very large

5148
04:43:12,706 --> 04:43:14,825
parking lots in the community. Some of them have access

5149
04:43:14,825 --> 04:43:16,960
to the sanitation facilities. They certainly have.

5150
04:43:16,960 --> 04:43:18,362
The, you know, ability to put dumpsters in and they,

5151
04:43:18,362 --> 04:43:19,646
they just, they have the ability to do a lot

5152
04:43:19,646 --> 04:43:21,646
more.

5153
04:43:23,917 --> 04:43:26,536
They actually can act quicker than what the county can

5154
04:43:26,536 --> 04:43:28,238
do. Like when you talk about buying a piece of

5155
04:43:28,238 --> 04:43:29,489
property or trying to find a county site,

5156
04:43:29,489 --> 04:43:30,757
the public, you know, the private sector actually

5157
04:43:30,757 --> 04:43:33,757
has much greater opportunities. So.

5158
04:43:34,845 --> 04:43:35,846
I'm certainly willing to help facilitate any of

5159
04:43:35,846 --> 04:43:37,846
those conversations to.

5160
04:43:38,682 --> 04:43:42,350
Reengage, some different groups of people.

5161
04:43:42,350 --> 04:43:43,537
To maybe come up with a solution as, as a

5162
04:43:43,537 --> 04:43:45,537
community, you know,

5163
04:43:51,444 --> 04:43:52,546
we love to think that government's gonna solve all of

5164
04:43:52,546 --> 04:43:53,813
our problems, but they're not, it truly takes a village.

5165
04:43:53,813 --> 04:43:54,898
It takes all of us to work on the things

5166
04:43:54,898 --> 04:43:57,000
together. But. Really appreciate the caller.

5167
04:43:57,000 --> 04:43:59,503
And then also you sharing your story with us because

5168
04:43:59,503 --> 04:44:01,421
sometimewe do forget. That the people that we're

5169
04:44:01,421 --> 04:44:04,421
working with are, you know,

5170
04:44:08,278 --> 04:44:10,564
community members just like, just like the five of us

5171
04:44:10,564 --> 04:44:12,165
up here and you know, all the people who live

5172
04:44:12,165 --> 04:44:14,340
here. So thanks for all the work that you continue

5173
04:44:14,340 --> 04:44:16,253
to do. I think. That it's on our radar screen.

5174
04:44:16,253 --> 04:44:17,587
And moving forward. We'll see what we can, we can

5175
04:44:17,587 --> 04:44:18,822
come up with. I think you see a commitment from

5176
04:44:18,822 --> 04:44:20,841
some of us who wanna. Wanna help and find a place

5177
04:44:20,841 --> 04:44:24,441
where people can safely park cuz.

5178
04:44:25,161 --> 04:44:26,129
It's it's a horrible situation. We are making

5179
04:44:26,129 --> 04:44:28,698
inroads though in homeless housing.

5180
04:44:28,698 --> 04:44:34,688
Our, our point in time count went down this year.

5181
04:44:34,688 --> 04:44:35,906
Betweehospitality, house and county behavioral health and

5182
04:44:35,906 --> 04:44:37,906
AME housing. And.

5183
04:44:38,875 --> 04:44:42,475
We are working diligently to provide.

5184
04:44:44,598 --> 04:44:46,449
Shelter for pele. So just know that there's been a

5185
04:44:46,449 --> 04:44:48,840
lot of new units added over the last few years,

5186
04:44:48,840 --> 04:44:50,637
and we continue to pursue that. Solidly with all the work that

5187
04:44:50,637 --> 04:44:54,837
we do up here. So thank you.

5188
04:44:56,526 --> 04:44:58,580
So if there's no other comments I would entertain, we

5189
04:44:58,580 --> 04:45:00,310
do need to take these all separately. So the first

5190
04:45:00,310 --> 04:45:02,634
one. Is the 26 dash zero.

5191
04:45:02,634 --> 04:45:06,234
6 7 1, which is the. I'm sorry. 0 6, 6, 7, which

5192
04:45:06,988 --> 04:45:08,988
is the.

5193
04:45:12,477 --> 04:45:18,477
Combi road, no parking. Someone wants to make a motion.

5194
04:45:21,519 --> 04:45:25,974
That's yours. I'll move to adopt 18 eight Sr 26.

5195
04:45:25,974 --> 04:45:28,974
Zero zero or 0 6 67. Zero second.

5196
04:45:35,850 --> 04:45:37,852
Yeah. The first one was just a presentation. Yeah. So

5197
04:45:37,852 --> 04:45:40,505
then 18 a is the one I'm making the motion

5198
04:45:40,505 --> 04:45:43,341
for approval. Yeah. Is there a second?

5199
04:45:43,341 --> 04:45:48,141

Yes. District four. Yes. District three. Yes.

5202
04:45:56,437 --> 04:45:58,439
All right. 18 B is the east Bennett road.

5203
04:45:58,439 --> 04:46:01,659
So moved second. All right. Roll call.

5204
04:46:01,659 --> 04:46:02,961

Yes. Yes. District three. Yes. All right. And the third motion.

5207
04:46:12,971 --> 04:46:18,371
Is for the old state highway 49. So moved second.

5208
04:46:23,614 --> 04:46:25,366
Roll call district one. Yes. District five. Yes.

5209
04:46:25,366 --> 04:46:28,803

5215
04:46:45,520 --> 04:46:47,221
All right. Thank you so much. Thanks for all the

5216
04:46:47,221 --> 04:46:50,742
work on this. I'm sure we will continue talking about.

5217
04:46:50,742 --> 04:46:54,812
The situation. Yeah. And chair, can we just con.

5218
04:46:54,812 --> 04:46:57,932
Con confirm with Allison. That we've given some

5219
04:46:57,932 --> 04:47:00,932
direction to the county on.

5220
04:47:03,454 --> 04:47:08,109
I think that we wanna continue to look for.

5221
04:47:08,109 --> 04:47:09,210
PO possibilities either through partnership with other

5222
04:47:09,210 --> 04:47:10,144
entities or with the county to.

5223
04:47:10,144 --> 04:47:12,797
Identify a safe parking place. Okay. Is that consensus at

5224
04:47:12,797 --> 04:47:13,931
the board? Board there's three of us who

5225
04:47:13,931 --> 04:47:16,331
ask for it. Yeah.

5226
04:47:19,554 --> 04:47:22,807
I'm just confirming. Oh, you. Okay. So we ll go

5227
04:47:22,807 --> 04:47:25,430
ahead and we will bring back a plan.

5228
04:47:25,430 --> 04:47:27,430
To look at

5229
04:47:30,815 --> 04:47:31,816
camping. Oh, why not? No, not camping overnight.

5230
04:47:31,816 --> 04:47:35,190
Yeah. Parking and overnight. Okay. Parking

5231
04:47:35,190 --> 04:47:38,720
understood. Thank you. Yea my. Request was specifically

5232
04:47:38,720 --> 04:47:39,273
to provide. Information to the public

5233
04:47:39,273 --> 04:47:42,827
regarding places that are currently available.

5234
04:47:42,827 --> 04:47:44,629
For overnight stays. That's simply what I'm asking for. I'm

5235
04:47:44,629 --> 04:47:49,429
not asking for a deep dive into okay.

5236
04:47:50,835 --> 04:47:52,403
Could you support that though? Looking at apartment? I think

5237
04:47:52,403 --> 04:47:53,638
it's more of a, if it's tucked in there. Yeah.

5238
04:47:53,638 --> 04:47:55,440
And it's not some huge lift. I, I agree. I

5239
04:47:55,440 --> 04:47:58,626
thk supervisor hook just said. That this is potentially more

5240
04:47:58,626 --> 04:48:00,294
of a workshop project. Okay. Bring as a workshop is

5241
04:48:00,294 --> 04:48:03,294
completely dferent and much harder.

5242
04:48:05,967 --> 04:48:08,202
Because, oh, see, I just, I disagree. I think yours

5243
04:48:08,202 --> 04:48:09,303
is much harder. So I think don't bring this as

5244
04:48:09,303 --> 04:48:11,890
a workshop it, to get the policy direction from the

5245
04:48:11,890 --> 04:48:13,958
board in January. Yeah. I, I. Think we need to do some work

5246
04:48:13,958 --> 04:48:14,826
on it. I'm not saying publishing. Yeah.

5247
04:48:14,826 --> 04:48:17,578
Chair supervisors, just to provide some

5248
04:48:17,578 --> 04:48:20,765
clarification. In the vast majority of public

5249
04:48:20,765 --> 04:48:22,934
roads throughout the county where it's safe for folks to

5250
04:48:22,934 --> 04:48:24,836
park. There's a 72 hour. Yeah.

5251
04:48:24,836 --> 04:48:30,240
Policy. So, you know, the, the rule is 72 hours.

5252
04:48:30,240 --> 04:48:31,809
Unless we find these areas as we identified today that

5253
04:48:31,809 --> 04:48:35,460
are problematic and have this history of.

5254
04:48:35,460 --> 04:48:37,265
Issues. Yeah. Well, the, I thinthe one benefit of

5255
04:48:37,265 --> 04:48:40,340
the county. Working on the solution for

5256
04:48:40,340 --> 04:48:44,834
this is that we be, we through our.

5257
04:48:47,675 --> 04:48:50,795
Behavioral health or with our homeless outreach, it gives us

5258
04:48:50,795 --> 04:48:53,664
e opportunity to identify who is there and what kind

5259
04:48:53,664 --> 04:48:54,832
of help they need, because. Right now having people just

5260
04:48:54,832 --> 04:48:57,510
knock on your window and tell you to move along, that

5261
04:48:57,510 --> 04:49:00,510
doesn't, that doesn't help anybody.

5262
04:49:02,440 --> 04:49:04,909
But if we actually have, you know, places where we

5263
04:49:04,909 --> 04:49:06,894
know people are that we can meet peoe where they

5264
04:49:06,894 --> 04:49:08,930
are, cuz oftentimes people don't even know that they can.

5265
04:49:08,930 --> 04:49:10,915
Come up here and get services. So I think that's

5266
04:49:10,915 --> 04:49:15,115
why I think it's a bigger conversation.

5267
04:49:16,237 --> 04:49:18,940
Than just, you know, creating a safe space and find

5268
04:49:18,940 --> 04:49:20,208
partners and re-engaging partners. So it's not just

5269
04:49:20,208 --> 04:49:23,728
on us, I think would be helpful.

5270
04:49:23,728 --> 04:49:25,763
Yeah, just sure. If I could just really quick, David,

5271
04:49:25,763 --> 04:49:27,348
can you please repeat what you just said? Because I

5272
04:49:27,348 --> 04:49:29,750
think you answered a lot of uncertainty for many people

5273
04:49:29,750 --> 04:49:32,837
simply. In that statement. It's very

5274
04:49:32,837 --> 04:49:35,540
clear. Yes. So, and, and that's why I provided, I, I

5275
04:49:35,540 --> 04:49:37,225
agree with EV the conversation, but just for

5276
04:49:37,225 --> 04:49:40,761
clarification, the, the vast. Majority of public roads

5277
04:49:40,761 --> 04:49:43,140
throughouthe county, unless otherwise designated

5278
04:49:43,140 --> 04:49:45,416
it's a 72 hour rule. So folks can legally, if

5279
04:49:45,416 --> 04:49:46,968
they're safely out. Of the right of way and they

5280
04:49:46,968 --> 04:49:47,969
can safely park. They can park there for 72

5281
04:49:47,969 --> 04:49:50,369
hours. Thank you. Yeah.

5282
04:49:53,900 --> 04:49:56,690
Thanks. All right. Our final item.

5283
04:50:02,900 --> 04:50:04,936
If we're, if we want to no pressure, if you're

5284
04:50:04,936 --> 04:50:06,153
not ready, you don't wanna do, but we will do

5285
04:50:06,153 --> 04:50:06,954
board announcements for anybody who.

5286
04:50:06,954 --> 04:50:12,910
Is prepared. So I think, are you ready? Go ahead.

5287
04:50:12,910 --> 04:50:14,345
I was just gonna focus on our east county visioning

5288
04:50:14,345 --> 04:50:19,145
process. I've had a number of other meetings.

5289
04:50:21,118 --> 04:50:23,788
Meetings related to all kinds of things, but the east

5290
04:50:23,788 --> 04:50:24,889
county visioning process kicked off where we're meeting

5291
04:50:24,889 --> 04:50:26,607
with some of the key stakeholders just

5292
04:50:26,607 --> 04:50:28,309
to understand. What service provision do you

5293
04:50:28,309 --> 04:50:31,162
want to see? Five, five years, 10 years, 15 years in

5294
04:50:31,162 --> 04:50:31,963
the future for east county.

5295
04:50:31,963 --> 04:50:35,867
What is meeting the needs of east county.

5296
04:50:35,867 --> 04:50:37,251
Demand right now. d what may be future demand that

5297
04:50:37,251 --> 04:50:38,886
you see coming our, our way in that part of

5298
04:50:38,886 --> 04:50:41,539
the county. And then the sond component

5299
04:50:41,539 --> 04:50:44,375
is facilities and that's kind of a parallel process.

5300
04:50:44,375 --> 04:50:47,975
To staff already has a facilities.

5301
04:50:52,216 --> 04:50:53,518
Planning exercise underway to understand our space

5302
04:50:53,518 --> 04:50:56,437
requirements. How many people do we have? Whakind

5303
04:50:56,437 --> 04:50:57,572
of service do they provide and where are

5304
04:50:57,572 --> 04:51:02,372
they working? And so we have our Levon.

5305
04:51:03,294 --> 04:51:05,463
To Joseph center campus next to the hospital, some other

5306
04:51:05,463 --> 04:51:06,447
small parcels. So just circulating a social, u

5307
04:51:06,447 --> 04:51:08,847
know, socialized community conversation.

5308
04:51:10,585 --> 04:51:11,736
There's a couple of outreach opportunities. There's a

5309
04:51:11,736 --> 04:51:14,172
survey so people can get the QR code off

5310
04:51:14,172 --> 04:51:15,907
our website. Take a survey for east county.

5311
04:51:15,907 --> 04:51:17,240
Visioning and what they see, it's very, very short. It's

5312
04:51:17,240 --> 04:51:18,159
only four questions. Questions could be done in

5313
04:51:18,159 --> 04:51:21,759
probably a minute and a half.

5314
04:51:25,856 --> 04:51:27,107
And then, then some public outreach community meetings

5315
04:51:27,107 --> 04:51:30,644
in late September, early October. And

5316
04:51:30,644 --> 04:51:32,620
then we'll try and do a roll up and maybe provide

5317
04:51:32,620 --> 04:51:34,965
an over. Overview for the board at the

5318
04:51:34,965 --> 04:51:37,484
strategic workshop. So we'll looking forward to it and

5319
04:51:37,484 --> 04:51:39,186
thanks for the staff support, bringing those pieces forward.

5320
04:51:39,186 --> 04:51:40,721
So working well. Well, yep. I'll keep it short.

5321
04:51:40,721 --> 04:51:44,410
I did take a week long vacation.

5322
04:51:44,410 --> 04:51:46,430
But I did also, I have been working.

5323
04:51:46,430 --> 04:51:49,163
Continuing to work with fos on code cases.

5324
04:51:49,163 --> 04:51:53,183
I did it. We did a visit on. Just such what we just talked

5325
04:51:53,183 --> 04:51:55,583
about. PA parking and.

5326
04:52:01,275 --> 04:52:03,794
Loitering on theoadside at Indian flat road and did

5327
04:52:03,794 --> 04:52:05,796
a site visit up there on Nevada city already fixed

5328
04:52:05,796 --> 04:52:07,648
fence. So hopefully that's been. Taken care of housing ad hoc

5329
04:52:07,648 --> 04:52:09,648
did meet.

5330
04:52:11,835 --> 04:52:13,604
And we will be meeting again soon. So just for

5331
04:52:13,604 --> 04:52:15,606
those folks who were just here, we are continuing to

5332
04:52:15,606 --> 04:52:17,424
look at creative solutions and. I'm enjoying the ad hoc. We've

5333
04:52:17,424 --> 04:52:19,360
got some good, had some good speakers and.

5334
04:52:19,360 --> 04:52:23,480
Really continuing to move on, trying to get our housing.

5335
04:52:23,480 --> 04:52:26,633
Program move, doing able to do more.

5336
04:52:26,633 --> 04:52:31,789
I met with a CPU C. Has the new, I think sever

5337
04:52:31,789 --> 04:52:33,390
of us may have our new public outreach.

5338
04:52:33,390 --> 04:52:36,990
Person Jesus Torres. And, you know,

5339
04:52:37,978 --> 04:52:42,366
he said all the right But I made it super clear that

5340
04:52:42,366 --> 04:52:47,166
we have big issues with PG and E.

5341
04:52:50,307 --> 04:52:52,126
With the co on the Kohler. I know Sue, you

5342
04:52:52,126 --> 04:52:54,128
were going in first. So I set, I set him

5343
04:52:54,128 --> 04:52:56,730
up. I set up, got a, got first base on

5344
04:52:56,730 --> 04:52:57,715
that One and thought you'd bring it

5345
04:52:57,715 --> 04:52:58,916
home, make sure that they understand that we are

5346
04:52:58,916 --> 04:53:01,151
not giving up on our landlines.

5347
04:53:01,151 --> 04:53:03,370
And that we need C P U to help

5348
04:53:03,370 --> 04:53:05,770
hold the line there.

5349
04:53:08,125 --> 04:53:09,893
So I look forward to seeing if we can do

5350
04:53:09,893 --> 04:53:10,928
something with this relationship, get, get further

5351
04:53:10,928 --> 04:53:12,413
on some of these issues that have been.

5352
04:53:12,413 --> 04:53:14,848
Really critical here in the rural areas.

5353
04:53:14,848 --> 04:53:19,703
Areas I did attend the OES. Communal town hall, which was

5354
04:53:19,703 --> 04:53:21,703
excellent and packed.

5355
04:53:23,991 --> 04:53:27,244
Lots of great information from all the providers for service,

5356
04:53:27,244 --> 04:53:30,844
state parks. Parks the nonprofits OES.

5357
04:53:31,582 --> 04:53:33,267
About the projects tt are gonna be happening in the

5358
04:53:33,267 --> 04:53:38,670
like Tahoe forest. Coming up. I think there's,

5359
04:53:38,222 --> 04:53:41,250
they tackled the three big issues right away.

5360
04:53:41,250 --> 04:53:44,250
Timber production. Herbicide use and

5361
04:53:48,365 --> 04:53:51,235
forgot what the third one was, but those conversations are

5362
04:53:51,235 --> 04:53:53,754
of good information out lots there for

5363
04:53:53,754 --> 04:53:54,822
people and feel free to reach out to us if.

5364
04:53:54,822 --> 04:53:56,757
You need or, oh yes. If you want more information

5365
04:53:56,757 --> 04:53:57,875
on that. And then it was thrilled to

5366
04:53:57,875 --> 04:54:00,875
attend Mikayla Erland zero waste.

5367
04:54:01,245 --> 04:54:05,966
Workshop or event in Nevada city. Just thilast week.

5368
04:54:05,966 --> 04:54:08,419
They had an all day repair cafe, they had reduced

5369
04:54:08,419 --> 04:54:10,419
re and reuse.

5370
04:54:14,341 --> 04:54:17,161
Folks with their products. This was all held in the

5371
04:54:17,161 --> 04:54:18,562
alpha building, which just showcased again how beautiful

5372
04:54:18,562 --> 04:54:19,930
it is inside.

5373
04:54:19,930 --> 04:54:22,783
There, she and her colleagues put in together, some gorgeous

5374
04:54:22,783 --> 04:54:23,984
art around. They had music. They had

5375
04:54:23,984 --> 04:54:27,237
fantastic speakers. Speakers just really love.

5376
04:54:27,237 --> 04:54:32,370
This seems like a good place to be.

5377
04:54:32,292 --> 04:54:33,527
Re-upping it, this fits with climate change and

5378
04:54:33,527 --> 04:54:35,796
adaptation. It fits with the economy.

5379
04:54:35,796 --> 04:54:37,197
It fits with the Nevada city vibe.

5380
04:54:37,197 --> 04:54:40,684
Ofyou know, reducing not buying products. You

5381
04:54:40,684 --> 04:54:44,284
don't need. Not buyingackaging, trying to.

5382
04:54:46,840 --> 04:54:50,460
Reduce the packaging, using materials, recycling materials.

5383
04:54:50,460 --> 04:54:52,229
Materials and composting where you can. And I think there's

5384
04:54:52,229 --> 04:54:54,229
someew initiatives coming.

5385
04:54:59,236 --> 04:55:01,705
Along that way as well. And just one of the

5386
04:55:01,705 --> 04:55:04,725
quotes that, that I've heard bere, but Mikayla, one of

5387
04:55:04,725 --> 04:55:06,590
her speakers mentioned that. They zero waste is not about.

5388
04:55:06,590 --> 04:55:08,459
Stopping create waste completely.

5389
04:55:11,982 --> 04:55:13,967
By every person it's about doing everything you can to

5390
04:55:13,967 --> 04:55:15,903
get there. And the quote that I think is really

5391
04:55:15,903 --> 04:55:18,288
helpful is they'd rather have a million people stop using.

5392
04:55:18,288 --> 04:55:21,959
Or a hundred people stop using plastic bags.

5393
04:55:21,959 --> 04:55:24,778
Than one person producg zero waste. So it's just about

5394
04:55:24,778 --> 04:55:27,147
reducing your use and making sure that you recycle what

5395
04:55:27,147 --> 04:55:30,000
you can. We learned that packaging,

5396
04:55:30,000 --> 04:55:31,969
the, the plastic wrap that comes

5397
04:55:31,969 --> 04:55:33,820
around packaging to your house, or when you unwrap stuff.

5398
04:55:33,820 --> 04:55:35,155
Can be recycled. There are places in this county that

5399
04:55:35,155 --> 04:55:39,955
are taking that in. That was something new.

5400
04:55:41,778 --> 04:55:43,697
So just a really excited, they shout out to Mikayla

5401
04:55:43,697 --> 04:55:45,199
Shortland, Nevada city council member, who put that

5402
04:55:45,199 --> 04:55:48,799
together. And for re-upping the conversation.

5403
04:55:48,819 --> 04:55:49,786
In this community about reducing our waste and

5404
04:55:49,786 --> 04:55:55,186
our impact on this earth. That's it for me.

5405
04:55:56,977 --> 04:55:58,977
So actually

5406
04:56:01,899 --> 04:56:04,518
has been interesting. I'm s on the

5407
04:56:04,518 --> 04:56:08,718
transit advisory. Committee and so stay tuned.

5408
04:56:09,306 --> 04:56:11,308
That's gonna be interesting. We're

5409
04:56:11,308 --> 04:56:15,508
like a strategic plan actually. How we.

5410
04:56:16,830 --> 04:56:19,316
Move transit into the realm that works in a rural

5411
04:56:19,316 --> 04:56:20,584
community. So they've done some outreach. They've been

5412
04:56:20,584 --> 04:56:24,137
up at the Madeline Helen they've.

5413
04:56:24,137 --> 04:56:26,240
Some other things. So stay tuned, cuz we'll have some

5414
04:56:26,240 --> 04:56:27,207
interesting information. And actually I have a

5415
04:56:27,207 --> 04:56:29,793
transit meeting. Tomorrow and they'll be doing

5416
04:56:29,793 --> 04:56:30,894
the same presentation they did to us. So if anybody's

5417
04:56:30,894 --> 04:56:33,347
interested in that, feel free to tune in or come

5418
04:56:33,347 --> 04:56:36,947
down to. That's at the city.

5419
04:56:38,502 --> 04:56:41,872
Grass city lake council. So. It's been really interesting

5420
04:56:41,872 --> 04:56:44,872
process, cuz how do we.

5421
04:56:48,579 --> 04:56:51,381
We're not like the city where you have a bus

5422
04:56:51,381 --> 04:56:53,660
that comes every 15 minutes, but how do we find

5423
04:56:53,660 --> 04:56:56,660
the areas that really help.

5424
04:56:59,423 --> 04:57:00,424
To make it role in our community. I mean, we're

5425
04:57:00,424 --> 04:57:02,590
doing the best we can, but like we'd love to

5426
04:57:02,590 --> 04:57:03,110
see something more, every more minutes or what is

5427
04:57:03,110 --> 04:57:03,877
the answer? Do we. Look at a micro

5428
04:57:03,877 --> 04:57:05,312
microsystem, but then we don't have the funding for it.

5429
04:57:05,312 --> 04:57:06,313
So anyway, it's been a very interesting process.

5430
04:57:06,313 --> 04:57:07,447
I've really enjoyed it.

5431
04:57:07,447 --> 04:57:08,465
They kind of didn't they came up with the answers

5432
04:57:08,465 --> 04:57:09,433
of the questions that we've always had.

5433
04:57:09,433 --> 04:57:10,801
But then how do we implement some of that? So

5434
04:57:10,801 --> 04:57:12,801
really good.

5435
04:57:15,422 --> 04:57:18,800
Had some fun stuff that just came up though. I

5436
04:57:18,800 --> 04:57:19,977
did the rough and ready town hall.

5437
04:57:19,977 --> 04:57:21,512
It is so fun to see community come out and

5438
04:57:21,512 --> 04:57:24,231
be invested in their communities.

5439
04:57:24,231 --> 04:57:26,330
And I would say sometimes it takes something like a

5440
04:57:26,330 --> 04:57:28,510
fire department or an issue. To make you realize how

5441
04:57:28,510 --> 04:57:30,320
important your neighbors are. And we had over a hundred

5442
04:57:30,320 --> 04:57:33,507
people there. Itas fun. We had food, give

5443
04:57:33,507 --> 04:57:36,507
them food. They will come.

5444
04:57:40,263 --> 04:57:43,250
It was a, was a hot, hot, humid day and

5445
04:57:43,250 --> 04:57:44,951
it was outside. So rougher Reni opened a new chamber.

5446
04:57:44,951 --> 04:57:47,971
Office down there at where they'll simply country is.

5447
04:57:47,971 --> 04:57:50,107
In, so, cause we're on the crest, Ben valley in

5448
04:57:50,107 --> 04:57:54,911
R and ready there. It was, it was great.

5449
04:57:54,911 --> 04:57:56,813
Fire came the school. We have a new superintendent.

5450
04:57:56,813 --> 04:57:59,813
Of schools in ready Springs.

5451
04:58:03,119 --> 04:58:04,153
Springs. I'm really excited about the new program

5452
04:58:04,153 --> 04:58:05,880
that they're gonna be doing there. I'm

5453
04:58:05,880 --> 04:58:09,888
gonna meet with him again. Just to visit.

5454
04:58:10,443 --> 04:58:12,412
So when we just can't say the little music can

5455
04:58:12,412 --> 04:58:16,120
get together and support your chambers.

5456
04:58:19,185 --> 04:58:20,286
Chambers or any of those little groups that you have,

5457
04:58:20,286 --> 04:58:21,387
it's so important because volunteerism is huge. That's

5458
04:58:21,387 --> 04:58:23,339
how you really make your communities

5459
04:58:23,339 --> 04:58:25,608
rock and roll. So love that. I had a cannabis ad hoc.

5460
04:58:25,608 --> 04:58:28,270
Hoc meeting as we look at dispensaries, that was great.

5461
04:58:28,270 --> 04:58:32,598
Cuz in. Talking with that. We went to

5462
04:58:32,598 --> 04:58:34,217
north San Juan and at a cannabis dispensary

5463
04:58:34,217 --> 04:58:36,520
meeting, kind of sharing out the

5464
04:58:36,520 --> 04:58:36,886
information. Cuz or San Juan is one of

5465
04:58:36,886 --> 04:58:40,600
the areas. Areas that it was selected

5466
04:58:40,600 --> 04:58:42,342
that could possibly have a dispensary at some point

5467
04:58:42,342 --> 04:58:44,342
in time.

5468
04:58:47,997 --> 04:58:48,881
And in tt I went to a meeting, but I

5469
04:58:48,881 --> 04:58:50,350
ran into some people there. So I went on to

5470
04:58:50,350 --> 04:58:52,485
the next meeting. They were having a, a.

5471
04:58:52,485 --> 04:58:54,604
The idea of putting a business assoation in north San

5472
04:58:54,604 --> 04:58:59,404
Juan together. It was inspiring. I sat with

5473
04:58:59,625 --> 04:59:01,994
two new business peoples that when the brass whale and

5474
04:59:01,994 --> 04:59:03,813
there's a little thrift shop there.

5475
04:59:03,813 --> 04:59:05,448
Really motivated it. How do you change a culture?

5476
04:59:05,448 --> 04:59:11,448
And make it fit a community and have economic growth.

5477
04:59:13,423 --> 04:59:14,691
So really excited to work with them. In fact, I

5478
04:59:14,691 --> 04:59:17,260
have another meeting coming up with staff with them. That

5479
04:59:17,260 --> 04:59:19,278
was really great. Did a fun pin valley chamber of

5480
04:59:19,278 --> 04:59:23,478
commerce. Meeting, they do a mixer now.

5481
04:59:25,535 --> 04:59:27,837
And I've got new businesses in pin valley, which funds

5482
04:59:27,837 --> 04:59:28,988
somebody wants to come down. Do we have a new

5483
04:59:28,988 --> 04:59:30,957
wine tasting and olive of olive oil tasting?

5484
04:59:30,957 --> 04:59:34,377
A shop there in we're crazy for yogurt is down

5485
04:59:34,377 --> 04:59:35,945
there across from there. That's exciting. People are

5486
04:59:35,945 --> 04:59:37,980
excited about the. Grocery store thirsty barrel.

5487
04:59:37,980 --> 04:59:41,580
Is working at building their little

5488
04:59:41,668 --> 04:59:44,620
business back there. So just a lot of fun movement

5489
04:59:44,620 --> 04:59:48,220
in that area. I would say

5490
04:59:50,276 --> 04:59:55,760
oh, and then of course, Penn valley community.

5491
04:59:55,431 --> 04:59:56,632
Our foundation fundraiser was last weekend. The weather

5492
04:59:56,632 --> 04:59:59,419
couldn't have been more perfect.

5493
04:59:59,419 --> 05:00:00,820
The music was great. There was a lot of fun

5494
05:00:00,820 --> 05:00:04,140
items to raffle off and. Auction off and I tell you our

5495
05:00:04,140 --> 05:00:06,540
little community's so excited.

5496
05:00:12,980 --> 05:00:13,132
About how and where this community center is

5497
05:00:13,132 --> 05:00:16,180
gonna evolve and is looking really good.

5498
05:00:16,180 --> 05:00:18,254
We're gonna probably break down round. Hopefully.

5499
05:00:18,254 --> 05:00:20,720
In the next, depending on what the storm agains happen

5500
05:00:20,720 --> 05:00:21,941
to do this year, but we could possibly have our

5501
05:00:21,941 --> 05:00:24,160
grading permit. In the next three weeks. So

5502
05:00:24,160 --> 05:00:27,230
that is very exciting to see that move forward.

5503
05:00:27,230 --> 05:00:29,782
I also went to a pin valley park foundation.

5504
05:00:29,782 --> 05:00:33,219
Meeting. So they're rebuilding their foundation.

5505
05:00:33,219 --> 05:00:37,907
As you know, our park only pays $12 and.

5506
05:00:37,907 --> 05:00:42,707
78 cents is assessment that runs a 8acre park.

5507
05:00:46,115 --> 05:00:47,750
And so it's been very challenging and looking at what

5508
05:00:47,750 --> 05:00:49,302
we do. And so stay tuned. I ink it's gonna

5509
05:00:49,302 --> 05:00:51,838
be fun. We talked about putting a QR code around

5510
05:00:51,838 --> 05:00:52,705
the park, so. When people are there, you

5511
05:00:52,705 --> 05:00:56,250
could just click on there and make a donation.

5512
05:00:56,250 --> 05:00:57,593
So many people come and use it. Not even people

5513
05:00:57,593 --> 05:00:59,278
that live in Penn valley, but what opportunity to do

5514
05:00:59,278 --> 05:01:02,878
sometimes the 10 are. Those those $10 and $20.

5515
05:01:04,834 --> 05:01:06,200
Donations add up, cuz we have a lot of people

5516
05:01:06,200 --> 05:01:07,503
that use our park. I mean, it really is phenomenal,

5517
05:01:07,503 --> 05:01:10,590
but it needs some help. Same thing. When you look at

5518
05:01:10,590 --> 05:01:12,592
volunteerism, I think a long time ago when it was

5519
05:01:12,592 --> 05:01:14,110
first established. They were gonna run it

5520
05:01:14,110 --> 05:01:15,978
on volunteers. But we all know how that

5521
05:01:15,978 --> 05:01:20,433
changes over time. I had a lot of constituent

5522
05:01:20,433 --> 05:01:22,335
meetings. So that's part of our job. It just keeps

5523
05:01:22,335 --> 05:01:24,530
us busy. And with that, I think

5524
05:01:24,530 --> 05:01:26,530
that's enough.

5525
05:01:32,612 --> 05:01:33,930
Oh, so I really enjoyed the C P U C

5526
05:01:33,930 --> 05:01:36,165
meeting. You did kind of highlight it. I really, you

5527
05:01:36,165 --> 05:01:40,286
hit it off and I gave it slam home dunk.

5528
05:01:40,286 --> 05:01:43,523
And I really liked Jesus was great to listen. And

5529
05:01:43,523 --> 05:01:45,408
you know, anotr thing we got to talking about was

5530
05:01:45,408 --> 05:01:46,742
cell towers, which was interesting. And.

5531
05:01:46,742 --> 05:01:48,928
He used to work in that industry. So he had

5532
05:01:48,928 --> 05:01:53,728
some interesting ideas and I thought that was.

5533
05:01:55,184 --> 05:01:57,620
It was encouraging to meet about what we could do

5534
05:01:57,620 --> 05:01:58,921
and how we move forward with what we're gonna do.

5535
05:01:58,921 --> 05:02:00,600
Cuz we gotta have communications. This is the

5536
05:02:00,600 --> 05:02:01,908
other challenge. And, but I did really let him

5537
05:02:01,908 --> 05:02:05,508
know about PG and of course,

5538
05:02:09,182 --> 05:02:10,816
the last couple weeks, rough Friday was out PG E

5539
05:02:10,816 --> 05:02:12,952
again yesterday. People and, and then PSPS is,

5540
05:02:12,952 --> 05:02:14,300
you know, well up in Hardee's district,

5541
05:02:14,300 --> 05:02:17,206
I think was out most of.

5542
05:02:17,206 --> 05:02:18,741
Part of the weekend. So those are just gonna be

5543
05:02:18,741 --> 05:02:23,541
the things we. Continue to challenge with. So.

5544
05:02:23,930 --> 05:02:25,810
But love having that opportunity to have that

5545
05:02:25,810 --> 05:02:28,784
phone call. And I would say two was great.

5546
05:02:28,784 --> 05:02:31,784
I got to meet Heather.

5547
05:02:31,838 --> 05:02:33,206
Wick's new reps that are gonna be in our area

5548
05:02:33,206 --> 05:02:36,206
and they're gonna be great.

5549
05:02:38,194 --> 05:02:39,145
They wanna meet with everybody. They're very

5550
05:02:39,145 --> 05:02:40,646
tivated. I just was talking, they were in an

5551
05:02:40,646 --> 05:02:42,140
ID today. They came to my fundraiser.

5552
05:02:42,140 --> 05:02:45,835
Very engaged and they both. So. live in Nevada county. Go

5558
05:03:05,788 --> 05:03:07,123
Meetings, just so you both know, I also talked to

5559
05:03:07,123 --> 05:03:09,125
Jesus from the CP UC, so he heard from three

5560
05:03:09,125 --> 05:03:10,376
Nevadaounty supervisors in the last month, right on. I

5561
05:03:10,376 --> 05:03:11,377
called him just, I. Independently about another

5562
05:03:11,377 --> 05:03:12,178
issue, but thank you for, for doing

5563
05:03:12,178 --> 05:03:13,346
that. Yeah, I've just been attending

5564
05:03:13,346 --> 05:03:16,332
a lot of community events and meetin.

5565
05:03:16,332 --> 05:03:21,732
Meetings, this Nevada county is just an extraordinary place.

5566
05:03:23,322 --> 05:03:24,540
Saturday night. I really wanted to come tthe Penn

5567
05:03:24,540 --> 05:03:26,575
valley fundraiser, but I was at another thing for it

5568
05:03:26,575 --> 05:03:28,277
just there's so much going on. And just all of us, I think

5569
05:03:28,277 --> 05:03:31,864
are really. Engaged in seeing what's

5570
05:03:31,864 --> 05:03:32,698
happening in the community, but this

5571
05:03:32,698 --> 05:03:36,298
truly is. An extraordinary place to

5572
05:03:37,553 --> 05:03:38,721
live. And while we have challenges,

5573
05:03:38,721 --> 05:03:40,706
just like, you know,ou doing anything in life.

5574
05:03:40,706 --> 05:03:44,660
It gives me great hope. To know at the people who

5575
05:03:44,660 --> 05:03:45,795
live in this county care so much about being here

5576
05:03:45,795 --> 05:03:49,395
and really wanna help us. So.

5577
05:03:52,585 --> 05:03:54,503
With that we are adjourned just as a note, we
