Thank you in advance for your courtesy and understanding of the meeting procedures.

33
00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:49,070
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

34
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:53,630
Will you please rise and join Supervisor Kennedy in our Pledge of Allegiance.

35
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,380
Pledge of Allegiance to the Black, the United States of America, and to the Republic for

36
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:07,960
which stands one nation under God into the physical liberty and justice for all.

37
00:03:11,460 --> 00:03:16,920
Okay, again, I'd like to welcome everyone to today's Board of Supervisors meeting.

38
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,180
Again, when I invite the public who's joined us here in Chambers to certainly petition

39
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:29,200
your county board, if you so choose, you're welcome to do so.

40
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:33,980
We actually keep your testimony to a limit of three minutes that way everyone has a chance

41
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:40,860
to address the board if they desire to and if you would please fill out a speaker slip

42
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:45,040
and give it to our clerk or one of the clerk's assistance that way we can make sure you're

43
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,660
on the record.

44
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,620
I do want to start today by offering my gratitude to Vice Chair Rodriguez.

45
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,560
She very capably stepped in in my stead at the last meeting that I was under the weather and

46
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:08,180
I was unable to attend and participate, so I want to thank Supervisor Rodriguez for doing that.

47
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,440
I know it was kind of last minute, but she was very polished and did a great job.

48
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,680
So with that, Madam Clerk, our first item.

49
00:04:17,940 --> 00:04:21,980
Yes, our first item is public comments relating to matters not on the post to the agenda.

50
00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:23,500
And we do have two speakers.

51
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:25,940
I'll call up Ebony Ward.

52
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:29,830
Good morning.

53
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:30,630
Good morning.

54
00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:36,970
I came to the meeting on the 23rd of last month seeking help from you guys because of CPS.

55
00:04:37,950 --> 00:04:44,450
As of now, I still don't understand. I haven't received no help. I'm asking who do, who represents them.

56
00:04:44,610 --> 00:04:50,670
When they are found to do something that is not okay, reporting false information, who governs them?

57
00:04:50,930 --> 00:04:54,730
At the end of the day, I have disability, obviously at SSI.

58
00:04:55,010 --> 00:04:58,890
And now they're stating that they don't want to give me my daughter back because I get a disability.

59
00:04:58,890 --> 00:05:03,330
Now, to me, that's unfair because I have a disability.

60
00:05:03,890 --> 00:05:07,010
How can you use that against me when the child's 14 years old?

61
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:09,790
And I've been taking care of the child the whole 14 years.

62
00:05:10,270 --> 00:05:14,750
All I'm asking you guys is to point me into the right direction of who governs them.

63
00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:18,910
They reported false information to the court, which is normally,

64
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:22,710
and CPS knows this, and they still won't help me.

65
00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:25,210
I'm asking you guys to point me in the right direction.

66
00:05:25,210 --> 00:05:31,530
I don't have the money to get a lawyer, and if I had the money to get a lawyer, I wouldn't be here.

67
00:05:31,910 --> 00:05:36,430
Again, my child, I had a disability all my life for 43 years.

68
00:05:37,210 --> 00:05:38,690
My child is 14 years old.

69
00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:40,890
A man's taking care of the child with his disability.

70
00:05:41,530 --> 00:05:44,650
Just because you have a disability, it does not stop you from being ignorant.

71
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:49,550
It does not stop you from providing a roof over your child here, which I've done.

72
00:05:49,550 --> 00:05:55,990
the child was removed from my household with a search warrant based upon lies state night.

73
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:59,730
I did not want her because I didn't want her because I couldn't work.

74
00:05:59,930 --> 00:06:06,050
I did SSI. She was removed saying that I didn't want her because I was going to lose my

75
00:06:06,050 --> 00:06:11,530
housing. I get Section 8. I cannot have the housing without the child. Who governs them?

76
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:16,810
When they write the wrongs, who do I speak to? I've been asking you guys for over a month now.

77
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:19,150
Just tell me, what department did I go to?

78
00:06:19,490 --> 00:06:23,350
I did a civil rights, I did a bus, man.

79
00:06:23,410 --> 00:06:26,750
I have written to anybody and everybody who will listen.

80
00:06:27,730 --> 00:06:30,390
And I just don't know what else to do, but keep coming here.

81
00:06:30,510 --> 00:06:31,570
So somebody here, me.

82
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:33,670
Thank you, Ms. Ward.

83
00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:38,810
We are unable to discuss that length, the issue you

84
00:06:38,810 --> 00:06:40,190
bring before us, however.

85
00:06:41,190 --> 00:06:45,390
I am going to ask the head of our DCFAS,

86
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:49,270
Shelby Boston, she's over here in the pink top.

87
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:55,290
She will follow you out and give her, give me a business card so at least you can have

88
00:06:55,290 --> 00:07:00,330
a face in a name to associate with trying to resolve the issue you've.

89
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:01,270
That's all I'm asking.

90
00:07:02,190 --> 00:07:06,750
I could plead at the case plan to get the towel back and they feel I won't give the

91
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:07,350
towel back.

92
00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:07,870
We understand.

93
00:07:08,590 --> 00:07:09,410
She's the one to help you.

94
00:07:09,650 --> 00:07:10,370
Thank you.

95
00:07:10,370 --> 00:07:10,810
Thank you.

96
00:07:11,570 --> 00:07:12,770
Next speaker please.

97
00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:14,870
Yes, Luke Wilson.

98
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:26,050
Hi, my name is Luke Wilson.

99
00:07:26,650 --> 00:07:29,730
I wrote my bike down here on this glorious morning

100
00:07:29,730 --> 00:07:34,290
for the first time that I'd been to a supervisor's meeting

101
00:07:34,290 --> 00:07:39,730
and I'm here because of the climate crisis we face

102
00:07:39,730 --> 00:07:45,430
and I'm speaking for my grandchildren as well as all of your grandchildren.

103
00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:53,890
The board has had a hard time embracing the responsibilities for end of your taking climate solutions,

104
00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:58,950
witness the amount of time necessary to put a cap into place.

105
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:05,630
But now, with the federal government cutting all climate programs, and even taking mention

106
00:08:05,630 --> 00:08:11,710
of this existential crisis of its websites, this is the time for you to act.

107
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:15,510
local and state governments must do all they can.

108
00:08:16,250 --> 00:08:17,850
Well, what can we really do?

109
00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:21,050
You might ask, well, there's two things

110
00:08:21,050 --> 00:08:23,030
that the board can do.

111
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:25,350
Stop, sprawl, development,

112
00:08:26,630 --> 00:08:30,310
and pass a new construction electrification ordinance.

113
00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:35,010
You can stop hopscotch development

114
00:08:35,330 --> 00:08:39,610
that requires hard driving to do anything.

115
00:08:39,610 --> 00:08:47,850
kids to school, work, fun, grocery shopping. It makes no sense when there is so much

116
00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:54,430
infill development needed. This will cut the county's carbon footprint. And it would

117
00:08:54,430 --> 00:09:01,170
not hurt to support mass transit rather than building of more car travel lanes. And the

118
00:09:01,170 --> 00:09:09,840
time has now come for all new construction to be powered by electricity. Right now there's plenty

119
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:17,280
money in the inflation reduction act and smud to subsidize electrification and to ensure

120
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,940
the funding for electrification continues.

121
00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:26,420
Please undertake these two simple policies and we will make it easier for you to answer

122
00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:29,480
the question from your grandchildren that is coming.

123
00:09:30,460 --> 00:09:33,420
What did you do to protect us from rising temperatures?

124
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:35,760
Thank you.

125
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,180
Thank you, Mr. Wilson.

126
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:40,420
That concludes your public comments for off agenda.

127
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:46,420
Okay, and I believe we are early even for our first presentation.

128
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,460
So you want to do nominations?

129
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,240
Yeah, that would be great.

130
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Let's go to item 46.

131
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,100
I'll give everyone a second to get their notes.

132
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,800
Okay, so for item number six, this is board considering nominations to the following.

133
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,580
your continuing to June 10, County Service Area 4B, SLU House, Wilton, Cassumnus, Gault

134
00:10:08,580 --> 00:10:13,100
Arno Cemetery District, North Highlands, Foothill Farms Community Planning Advisory

135
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:17,440
Council, Sacramento County Behavioral Health Youth Advisory Board, Sacramento County

136
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,640
Treasury Oversight Committee, Sacramento County Youth Commission, Veterans Advisory

137
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,860

139
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,500

And your first item for today is the adult and aging commission.

143
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:46,940
Chiefs are recommending continuing the item till June 10th.

144
00:10:47,060 --> 00:10:48,060
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

145
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:51,640
Carmichael Oldfield Hill Farm's Community Planning Advisory Council

146
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,920
supervisor Desmond.

147
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,640
Please continue to June 10th.

148
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:00,880
Actually, if we can hold this item,

149
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:04,040
I want to make a note on the record that the action

150
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,780
for this item is contingent upon one of the items that we have coming forth at the 10 o'clock

151
00:11:08,780 --> 00:11:13,240
time for timed items regarding the Carmichael Foothail. So if we could hold this and we'll

00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,340
come back to that, Mr. Chair. Thank you. Cardova Community Planning Advisory Council,

153

154

Mr. Chair, do you have notes for Jun? I don't have it for D5. I don't.

155
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,760
Okay, I do. I have some notes here to continue to Jun.

156
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Third, equal employment advisory committee.

157
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,600
She's recommending continuing the item until June 10th.

158
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,000
Thank you, first five Sacramento Commission.

159
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:48,380
She's recommending nominating Eric Garra to the public health officer alternate seat.

160
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,500
And I'm glad to see that they made that recommendation.

161
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,600
Okay, great.

162
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Human services coordinating council.

163
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,680
She's recommending continuing the item until June 10th.

164
00:11:58,680 --> 00:11:59,180
Thank you.

165
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,500
Maternal child and adolescent health advisory board.

166
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,140
She's recommending continuing the item until June 3rd.

167
00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:06,400
Okay.

168
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:09,600
And then we have Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Commission.

169
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:14,840
I do have a note to continue this to June 10th on behalf of District 5.

170
00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:15,760
Okay.

171
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:16,720
Very good to show that.

172
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:17,740
Thank you.

173
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,320
Sacramento South Sacramento Area Community Planning Advisory Council.

174
00:12:21,860 --> 00:12:22,380
Chair Cernan.

175
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,140
Please continue the item until June 10th.

176
00:12:25,420 --> 00:12:26,480
And supervisor Kennedy.

177
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,320
Please continue to June 3rd.

178
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,820
Okay, and then this will conclude your nominations.

179
00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:39,120
Very good. Thank you. All right, is there any other business we can take care of?

180
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Madam clerk between now and the time of our first presentation.

181
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,500
We could take care of the consent matters.

182
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:47,820
Let's do that. Please support. Okay, so let's move to consent matters.

183
00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:53,680
That would be item 7 through 37 and I do have a couple of notes for item 21.

184
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,380
You're acting as the Sacramento County Groundwater Sustainability Agency.

185
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:22,480
Introduction of an amended ordinance establishing a fee for the management of groundwater in the Sacramento County ground water sustainability agency because some is groundwater sub basin setting a public hearing for July 22nd 2025 and so this is waving the full reading and continuing to July 22nd for adoption and then for item 22 you are also acting as the Sacramento County groundwater sustainability agency.

186
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,640
This is the introduction of an ordinance establishing a fee for the management of the groundwater in the

187
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,440
Sacramento County groundwater sustainability agency.

188
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Solano groundwater sub-basin and setting a public hearing for July 22nd.

189
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Waving full reading and continuing to July 22nd to adopt the ordinance.

190
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,920
That concludes my notes for the clerk.

191
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,540
All right, very good.

192
00:13:45,420 --> 00:13:51,980
Does any member of the board wish to pull any item from consent for separate consideration or discussion or comment?

193
00:13:53,420 --> 00:13:54,980
I'll go ahead and move item.

194
00:13:56,660 --> 00:13:57,220
Sorry.

195
00:13:57,660 --> 00:13:58,400
I'll go ahead and move item.

196
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,580
Thank you, Chair.

197
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,880
I'd like to comment on number 30 and have a couple of questions on 32, but it doesn't

198
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,040
really necessarily need to be

199
00:14:13,010 --> 00:14:13,330
bold.

200
00:14:15,540 --> 00:14:19,400
I'll just read both of those into the record at the same time supervisor.

201
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:27,300
30 is the authority to execute a zero dollar memorandum of understanding with

202
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:32,620
And then 432, this is the authority to execute expenditure contracts with 15 medical personnel

203
00:14:32,620 --> 00:14:33,420
registries.

204
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:35,380
Thank you very much.

205
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:42,280
Number 30, I just want to, mostly make a statement that this, I support this, this is

206
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,780
good for their cooperation with various agencies.

207
00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:53,240
I just want to put it on the record that I'm always concerned, I don't want separate efforts

208
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:59,760
going on at the same time and further separating the effort into silent.

209
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,500
And just want to make sure that what we do here is completely in line with what we're doing with all other agencies and ourselves.

210
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:29,120
Thank you for your comments, supervisor Kennedy. So this is actually really exciting opportunity because what we're hoping for is to achieve this bilateral referral process between 988 and 911 for all of our law enforcement jurisdictions going forward. So this is allowing us to pilot and work out some kinks in that. So then we can spread it to the rest of the jurisdictions.

211
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,120
Perfect. Thanks. Thank you.

212
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:48,840
On number 32, I have a couple of questions probably, again, show on. I would imagine. Okay. A couple of things. First, this isn't going to prevent us. We're not going to have any gaps in service due to the new contract I'm hoping.

213
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:58,500
That is correct. No, our intent is to get all of these contracts in place by July 1. If we find that as part of this process, we lack some capacity.

214
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:03,580
We certainly would go out for an RFP to add more providers to that at this time.

215
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:07,420
We think what we're suggesting is sufficient in terms of capacity.

216
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,920
And we know that there was a situation in which one of our contractors that we've worked with in the past,

217
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,920
in the sink, which I love saying that every time.

218
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:23,360
It was made some mistakes in there in their proposal.

219
00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:26,700
And I understand that and I support staff's position on that.

220
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:30,160
but I've also spoken with yourself and other staff

221
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,340
and that there's been a high level of satisfaction

222
00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:35,200
with their services in the past.

223
00:16:35,580 --> 00:16:38,660
And I hope that there's going to be opportunities

224
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:43,140
for them to continue to operate in the way they have

225
00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:44,860
or in a similar fashion.

226
00:16:45,660 --> 00:16:47,540
I guess what I'm saying is I don't want bureaucracy

227
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:48,780
to come before service.

228
00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:49,640
Absolutely.

229
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,420
We totally agree with that.

230
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,220
And for any contractor and I'll just make this on the record

231
00:16:54,220 --> 00:16:58,360
for any contractor who we enter into a contract with.

232
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:04,040
They have the prerogative to subcontract with other people to bring more providers on.

233
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,560
It does take approval by the county, but we're absolutely willing to look at that in order

234
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,780
to ensure we have necessary capacity.

235
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:12,180
Thank you very much.

236
00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:13,080
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

237
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:13,740
Okay.

238
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:14,520
Thank you.

239
00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:16,720
I'll go ahead and move the consent calendar.

240
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:17,620
Okay.

241
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,080
It's my room.

242
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:18,300
Second.

243
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,820
We have any one sign up to speak.

244
00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:20,760
We do not.

245
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,000
Okay.

246
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Very good.

247
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,660
then please vote.

248
00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:29,230
You now miss vote with those members present.

249
00:17:29,770 --> 00:17:30,230
All right.

250
00:17:31,810 --> 00:17:33,970
Now have we exhausted everything we can take care of?

251
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:34,770
We have.

252
00:17:36,670 --> 00:17:37,370
All right.

253
00:17:37,910 --> 00:17:41,950
As such, we will then stand and recess until 1015.

254
00:17:54,020 --> 00:17:54,040
Okay.

255
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,160
Okay.

256
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:57,520
To call back to order this meeting of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.

257
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,580
Should Tuesday, May 20, 20, 25,

258
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:01,880
Madam Clerk, please call the roll and restab her score.

259
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,280
Yes.

260
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Good morning.

261
00:18:03,260 --> 00:18:03,740
Supervisors.

262
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:07,920
Kennedy, Ed Desmond Rodriguez, here, Zerna, here.

263
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:09,140
And you have a poem.

264
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:10,300
All right, very good.

265
00:18:10,580 --> 00:18:11,380
Next item, please.

266
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,880
Item two is the presentation of Resolution,

267
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,640
recognizing May 2025 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month.

268
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,580
All right.

269
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,220
How would you plan to make your way to the podium, man?

270
00:18:36,180 --> 00:18:36,620
Yeah.

271
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:36,720
All right.

272
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:36,920
Good morning.

273
00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:38,220
Good to see you again.

274
00:18:39,260 --> 00:18:39,720
Good to see you again.

275
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,270
Good to see you again.

276
00:18:43,270 --> 00:18:45,490
Colleagues and members of the public.

277
00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:47,230
I'm here again.

278
00:18:47,230 --> 00:18:55,410
because we do this every year to present this resolution, recognizing May 2025 as Lyme disease

279
00:18:55,410 --> 00:19:03,450
a weirdness month. I think many of us are generally familiar with what Lyme disease does

280
00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:10,690
and is and how it affects our constituents, but this is always a great reminder for everyone

281
00:19:10,690 --> 00:19:17,970
that is here in Chambers and that is watching about the severity of the disease, precautions

282
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:27,310
we can all take to protect ourselves from it, and to understand some of the statistics around

283
00:19:27,310 --> 00:19:34,770
Lyme disease, for instance, there are almost a half million new cases that present each year

284
00:19:34,770 --> 00:19:41,870
in the United States, and 40% of Lyme disease cases do result in long-term health problems.

285
00:19:42,110 --> 00:19:48,410
I know that we're going to hear from someone in a moment here that has dealt personally

286
00:19:48,410 --> 00:19:50,170
with Lyme disease in her life.

287
00:19:50,550 --> 00:19:57,910
We hear this testimony each year and again, it really serves as the best reminder, absent

288
00:19:57,910 --> 00:20:03,190
the language in the resolution, which I won't recite all the whereases.

289
00:20:03,190 --> 00:20:22,610
But again, this is an important moment for Sacramento County each year to, again, do what we can to prevent the spread of blind disease and to make sure that our constituents have the resources necessary to grapple with it.

290
00:20:22,670 --> 00:20:29,690
So with that, I'm going to present the resolution and we'll take a photo roll quick and then I'm going to give you that for the

291
00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:51,190
floor as yours.

292
00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:00,020
Thank you all again this year for supporting us, I'm Melissa Moya, I'm the founder of

293
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:03,000
Line Fight Foundation in Carmichael.

294
00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:09,840
I am a patient of line disease as well, unfortunately, you know, as a parent of a child

295
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,380
that has line disease.

296
00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:23,700
Line disease has over 100 different symptoms, it's hard to diagnose your average test that you

297
00:21:24,940 --> 00:21:36,200
So an accurate test of tone infections costs your family about 1,500 dollars for which your insurance does not cover treatment for Lyme disease.

298
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:46,440
The CDC only lets allows two weeks of doxycycline which only helps those that have recently been bent and know they haven't been.

299
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,880
not everybody gets that bulls I rash.

300
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,380
It took me three years to get diagnosed.

301
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,080
I had to go all the way to Minnesota to find the answer.

302
00:21:56,980 --> 00:22:00,100
First year of treatment costs me $50,000.

303
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:03,140
And I am on year five.

304
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,120
My daughter was just recently diagnosed in August.

305
00:22:08,420 --> 00:22:13,720
She lost her college running career.

306
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:20,980
She was very sick to give you an idea of what her bills are.

307
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:27,140
Her doctor is $800 an hour and it is not covered by insurance.

308
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,740
So it's very serious.

309
00:22:31,060 --> 00:22:32,840
It's something to take very seriously.

310
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,860
Our website has lots of different information and resources,

311
00:22:38,340 --> 00:22:40,840
including our pets and ourselves and our children.

312
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,320
What's the name of the website?

313
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,020
It's LimeFightFoundation.org.

314
00:22:46,940 --> 00:22:47,480
Thank you.

315
00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:49,700
So I appreciate your guys' support.

316
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,140
And now we need to share my story.

317
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,740
We really hope that more we share.

318
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,260
The more we can keep our neighbors and our friends safe.

319
00:22:59,540 --> 00:23:00,080
So thank you.

320
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:00,760
Thank you.

321
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:02,200
And let me ask you a question.

322
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,700
So you mentioned the bulls I rash.

323
00:23:06,020 --> 00:23:08,320
So I've been doing my colleagues.

324
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:15,320
I've been doing a lot of walking lately and near my home, I do some walking in kind of a nature area.

325
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,440
There's a tall and native grasses, that kind of thing.

326
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,520
So, of course, in our hot summers, you're typically wearing shorts like most people would.

327
00:23:27,060 --> 00:23:35,320
So, what can we do to just kind of keep an eye on our bodies once we've been exposed to maybe an environment

328
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:43,660
that is more conducive to the presence of line disease. Do you kind of scan each time you go

329
00:23:43,660 --> 00:23:50,740
out, looking for a particular marker in terms of the rash or a size or a color? Can you speak

330
00:23:50,740 --> 00:23:57,520
a little more about that? When you go out, if you can, we're long pants and socks and put your socks

331
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:04,500
and rear pants. It's great. I know not everybody can do this hot. It's a good look. So there's

332
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:07,780
different sprays you can put on anything with deep.

333
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,560
There's some natural ones as well.

334
00:24:09,940 --> 00:24:11,380
If you can stay on the trails,

335
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:12,940
it's kind of your best bet.

336
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:15,860
But if you do go in, definitely check.

337
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:20,620
They like to go in warm places on places, check your pets,

338
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,280
as well.

339
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:24,740
Sometimes they will bring them into the house

340
00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:27,400
and your petting them, and then that's all.

341
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:29,740
You know, it could happen for yourself.

342
00:24:30,260 --> 00:24:33,500
If you don't give the bulls, I ration you all of sudden,

343
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:40,260
to start feeling like flu-like symptoms, definitely go to your doctor, and then also when you

344
00:24:40,260 --> 00:24:46,880
come home, you can also put your clothes in the dryer on hot heat for about 10 minutes, and then

345
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:54,660
if there isn't anything left over, they will pass, that's all great advice, and thank you for

346
00:24:54,660 --> 00:25:02,780
elaborating a bit. I think that's invaluable and certainly want to take that advice to heart,

347
00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:06,760
And I hope that others do as well as we approach the summer months.

348
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:08,220
So again, thank you Melissa for being here.

349
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,800
Thank you so much.

350
00:25:15,450 --> 00:25:22,190
Item three is a presentation by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments on the Blueprint project.

351
00:25:23,980 --> 00:25:25,000
Bless you.

352
00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:35,790
Here's another good morning, Supervisors.

353
00:25:36,330 --> 00:25:40,130
James Coralist, Executive Director of the Sacramento Area Council of Governments or

354
00:25:40,130 --> 00:25:40,630
Seicog.

355
00:25:41,470 --> 00:25:47,790
I'm here this morning just to present you an update on our long-range transportation and growth plan.

356
00:25:47,790 --> 00:25:53,350
And the long name is the Metropolitan Transportation Plan Sustainable Community Strategy.

357
00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:57,370
We have branded this as the Blueprint 2025.

358
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:04,430
We've been working for a number of years as a supervisor's Desmond and Kennedy certainly

359
00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:07,570
know from being on the Seicog Board and Supervisor Hume as well.

360
00:26:07,930 --> 00:26:12,610
And so we're in the home stretch and I wanted to give you an update this morning on where

361
00:26:12,610 --> 00:26:18,790
plans stands, what it suggests, and where it points us to for the next 25 years since it is

362
00:26:18,790 --> 00:26:19,690
a long-range plan.

363
00:26:21,530 --> 00:26:25,390
Thank you all know this, but just a reminder, we are your Council of Governments.

364
00:26:25,770 --> 00:26:30,730
So we represent across the Greater Six County Sacramento region, every single local government,

365
00:26:30,970 --> 00:26:32,490
22 cities and six counties.

366
00:26:33,450 --> 00:26:39,170
It's pretty unusual and unique that every single local government sits around our table twice

367
00:26:39,170 --> 00:26:39,610
a month.

368
00:26:40,170 --> 00:26:46,850
But that is, that is the, that's the case at Seicog and we think we're much stronger for it.

369
00:26:46,990 --> 00:26:52,090
We tackle transportation growth issues, economic development, air quality, and climate change.

370
00:26:53,330 --> 00:26:57,510
Our long-range plan, which we have to update typically every four years, started with a,

371
00:26:58,010 --> 00:27:03,630
started about two and a half years ago, and started with a triple bottom line framework where we are trying to figure out

372
00:27:03,630 --> 00:27:10,090
how can we invest in the region and infrastructure and growth development jobs in a way that

373
00:27:10,090 --> 00:27:17,390
advances equity brings this economic prosperity and clean and sustainable environment?

374
00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:26,490
So, we've done more outreach than ever before. Excuse me. On this blueprint plan, and so I want to

375
00:27:26,490 --> 00:27:32,190
give you a little bit of the themes from this outreach and engagement. It's actually by the way

376
00:27:32,190 --> 00:27:36,850
includes presentations like this two and a half years ago to kick off the plan to every city

377
00:27:36,850 --> 00:27:42,730
in county, and we're now going out to every city in county again in this home stretch of

378
00:27:42,730 --> 00:27:43,190
the plan.

379
00:27:43,670 --> 00:27:51,990
But it also included polling and surveys, thank you, very helpful, full service here, very helpful.

380
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,000
I don't get that treatment of mother jurisdiction, I just want you to know,

381
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:02,760
it's becoming

382
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,280
obvious.

383
00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:09,880
So we've done polling and focus groups, and we've done pop-up events in every single county,

384
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,120
and we've done more outreach and engagement than any other plan that we've honestly ever done.

385
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,980
And we had a number of themes that came out of all that, and these might be themes that you're very well aware of,

386
00:28:21,220 --> 00:28:26,680
given how much you interact with your constituents and the residents of Sacramento County every day.

387
00:28:27,260 --> 00:28:30,260
Access to opportunity for all residents.

388
00:28:30,260 --> 00:28:36,260
housing was probably the probably the top theme in this whole plan outreach was around housing

389
00:28:36,260 --> 00:28:42,260
and that was true across all corners of the region, making sure that we have enough

390
00:28:42,260 --> 00:28:46,120
housing options for all income levels and all life stages.

391
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:52,460
Safety was another huge theme, both public safety but also transportation traffic safety.

392
00:28:53,200 --> 00:29:00,820
The residents really flagged not feeling safe walking, cycling, driving, and sadly that is

393
00:29:00,820 --> 00:29:07,860
borne out in recent data that our fatality and injury rates now and this region are going

394
00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:13,000
up, they're going in the wrong direction, they're going up faster than other regions in

395
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:13,340
California.

396
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:15,700
These are cycling injuries and deaths.

397
00:29:15,700 --> 00:29:22,740
These are cycling pedestrian, but also car, car, auto-related fatalities and injuries.

398
00:29:22,980 --> 00:29:24,520
We could give you the breakdown on those.

399
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:30,280
James, do we know whether or not, especially the cycling statistics are a function of

400
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,380
there's just more people that are cycling?

401
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,280
That is always the key on walking and pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and injuries is we

402
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,540
don't have usage stats.

403
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:44,520
When we have decent usage stats, we know from the census how many people walk or bike to work.

404
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:50,160
And by the way, we have a very high rate of people who do walk in bike to work in this region,

405
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,940
and in this county, higher than many others.

406
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,300
So perhaps we know we've recovered.

407
00:29:55,580 --> 00:29:59,700
People got their bikes and started biking and started walking a lot more.

408
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,820
So, it could be usage. It could be that it's more exposure out there in the streets.

409
00:30:06,020 --> 00:30:11,480
But, frankly, we don't have great data sets. None of us do to actually understand that this is more people out there.

410
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:24,060
We have vehicle miles traveled, so we know from an in-occupant auto-related, how that squares but not so much on the bad thing is by school and pedestrian injuries are going up.

411
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:32,300
So, other outreach themes there, a big theme on public transit, and a theme that you all

412
00:30:32,300 --> 00:30:36,200
are very well aware of, but a lot of residents saying, I would love to use public transit.

413
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,120
It's not convenient.

414
00:30:38,220 --> 00:30:38,840
It's not reliable.

415
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,100
It doesn't come enough or doesn't come close enough, but we heard a lot about transportation

416
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:44,660
choices.

417
00:30:44,940 --> 00:30:49,700
And here's a survey that we did that really, just again, one of the instruments we did.

418
00:30:49,700 --> 00:31:00,960
We worked a lot by the way with Valley Vision on a lot of us outreach, but also on this survey we did something a little bit different and we actually worked with a lot of community-based organizations across the six counties

419
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:15,620
So they could get to their own constituents and administer these surveys. So again, much like I told you affordable housing, safety, the lack of transportation options and traffic congestion and the top for there for what some people's minds.

420
00:31:15,620 --> 00:31:18,680
So how do we learn James real quick and go back

421
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:28,020
the other category that's so I assume that it was just an

422
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:33,600
other box that someone checked or it was their self reporting that comes with that so you have a little bit more

423
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:40,500
insight. I have to go back and check I'm happy to do that. I'd be curious since that's not at the tail and exactly

424
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:48,920
it's in the last third, so it kind of strikes me that it might be helpful to understand a little bit.

425
00:31:49,220 --> 00:31:53,440
Sure. Yeah, I don't know. We've got staff taking notes on this presentation so we'll

426
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,340
capture all of those questions and follow up with you.

427
00:31:58,670 --> 00:32:04,350
Okay, so the blueprint plan is a plan that is what we want

428
00:32:04,350 --> 00:32:10,590
this plan to be is our region's aspiration for what we want to be in the future and we're actually doing this plan quite

429
00:32:10,590 --> 00:32:11,710
differently than we've done before.

430
00:32:12,070 --> 00:32:13,550
I told you more outreach education.

431
00:32:14,390 --> 00:32:16,910
We've often got a question about how every place,

432
00:32:16,910 --> 00:32:18,810
every jurisdiction shows up in the blueprint.

433
00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:21,230
Because sometimes it feels at the very end of all

434
00:32:21,230 --> 00:32:25,130
of this work that it's a sort of a one-size-fits-all sometimes.

435
00:32:25,810 --> 00:32:27,090
But this time is going to be different.

436
00:32:27,270 --> 00:32:30,850
We work with your staff and jurisdictions across the entire region.

437
00:32:31,330 --> 00:32:34,330
Every single jurisdiction will have a piece of this plan

438
00:32:34,330 --> 00:32:36,550
where they express their priorities locally

439
00:32:36,550 --> 00:32:38,150
that meet regional goals.

440
00:32:38,830 --> 00:32:40,130
So that's going to be in there.

441
00:32:40,130 --> 00:32:42,670
for the county, all of the cities, every single county.

442
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:47,110
So we're doing this a little bit differently,

443
00:32:47,270 --> 00:32:52,250
but the plan does meet and has to meet federal requirements

444
00:32:52,250 --> 00:32:53,590
and state mandates, right?

445
00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:56,470
And one of those mandates that you all are very familiar with,

446
00:32:56,750 --> 00:33:00,070
especially you, Chair of CERNA, is reducing greenhouse gas emissions

447
00:33:00,070 --> 00:33:04,130
from transportation from state Senate Bill SB 375

448
00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:07,030
administered by the California Air Resources Board.

449
00:33:07,530 --> 00:33:10,110
But let's just talk a little bit about what we've learned

450
00:33:10,110 --> 00:33:16,750
the analysis. Again, the first thing that you might be very well aware of, the Sacramento region,

451
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:21,290
the six counties, is the fastest growing region in the state of California compared to other

452
00:33:21,290 --> 00:33:27,970
metropolitan regions. That average annual growth rate there is above, as you can see, the California

453
00:33:27,970 --> 00:33:34,110
statewide growth rate and the blue and even the national growth rate in the red. It will,

454
00:33:34,110 --> 00:33:35,070
So slow down.

455
00:33:35,530 --> 00:33:39,030
So we are forecasting another 600,000 residents,

456
00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:41,770
trying to do an 80,000 residents in this region.

457
00:33:42,390 --> 00:33:44,230
We're at roughly 2.6 million now.

458
00:33:44,350 --> 00:33:48,370
We'll grow to 3.1 million about the size of metropolitan Denver

459
00:33:48,370 --> 00:33:50,770
for us in 2050 is today.

460
00:33:52,250 --> 00:33:54,510
But those rates of growth, as I showed you,

461
00:33:54,570 --> 00:33:56,730
and you can see this slide, are going to slow down

462
00:33:56,730 --> 00:33:57,410
through demographics.

463
00:33:57,730 --> 00:34:00,070
Lots of things we cannot forecast, accurately,

464
00:34:01,310 --> 00:34:02,010
immigration, migration.

465
00:34:02,010 --> 00:34:09,050
But by and large, this is a familiar demographic curve that the rest of the nation is seeing.

466
00:34:10,270 --> 00:34:17,830
So here are those numbers again. In the region, another 600,000 people, and then you can see

467
00:34:17,830 --> 00:34:25,030
the county statistics here, more jobs that will require 278,000 housing units. And if you average

468
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:31,410
out those number of housing units that is about 10, over 10,000 housing

469
00:34:31,410 --> 00:34:37,130
units on average, every year. We were below that and went away below 10,000

470
00:34:37,130 --> 00:34:41,030
units a year from the Great Recession Forward. We've only just in the last

471
00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:45,230
couple of years ticked above 10,000 units again. Excuse me, James, who

472
00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:50,350
would rather than Kennedy? Thank you, Chair. Yeah, thanks, James. That number is

473
00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:54,010
that expected growth or is that need?

474
00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:56,310
That is expected growth.

475
00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:57,050
Okay, thank you.

476
00:34:58,210 --> 00:34:59,070
Supervisor Rodriguez.

477
00:34:59,770 --> 00:35:02,690
On the 606,000 is that unincorporated?

478
00:35:02,930 --> 00:35:03,270
Yes.

479
00:35:03,790 --> 00:35:04,830
Okay, thank you.

480
00:35:06,980 --> 00:35:10,120
And yeah, anyway, I'm happy to answer more questions on this.

481
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,720
The population for, as I said,

482
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:14,880
there's a lot of things that are happening

483
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,640
that are making this harder, right?

484
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,060
But if you actually look back at our 2002 plan,

485
00:35:21,060 --> 00:35:27,060
I believe it was. We actually forecast regional population about 2.7 million people. So we're

486
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:32,000
just shy of that. We overshot a little bit from that plan 20, some people ask, you know,

487
00:35:32,020 --> 00:35:38,100
how accurate can you be? We were pretty accurate on the demographic forecast back then. We

488
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:43,280
were, we were, we did not obviously, nobody did see the great recession coming. So we were

489
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,540
pretty good on the, on the overall demographics. But again, there's so many factors in play

490
00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:54,300
that you all are very well aware of in terms of migration, immigration that some of this is pretty

491
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:54,740
tough.

492
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,840
I think, I think, actually yes, okay, I'm looking at Todd Smith over here.

493
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:06,920
So again, just a little bit, and I think you all have a sense of how closely we are partnering

494
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,480
with your team here in the county, and I want to just give a lot of credit to your team

495
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,920
for really, really nicely with us over the last number of years on a number of things,

496
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,120
and Todd's going to give you a little bit more detail on that.

497
00:36:19,420 --> 00:36:21,960
Before you leave the podium, as we rise to Rodriguez?

498
00:36:22,660 --> 00:36:27,860
James, I have a question about the concern of pedestrian and bicycle accidents.

499
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:36,220
And so, you know, you hear one of the top concerns from constituents in not just Sacramento County,

500
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:46,540
but just surrounding areas is that there are these crazy drivers, people don't stop or stop, you know,

501
00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:51,220
of the area and I think there was a recent survey that put Sacramento at the top of, you

502
00:36:51,220 --> 00:36:59,920
know, not good drivers. And so is that something that we're seeing that a trend statewide

503
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:08,460
or is it predominantly here in the Sacramento area that is specific to our region?

504
00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:15,300
So I think the concern is nationwide and the problem is nationwide and something seems to

505
00:37:15,300 --> 00:37:23,340
happened after COVID, to have perhaps it as a combination of higher usage and for some reason

506
00:37:24,180 --> 00:37:28,420
anecdotally people driving faster running red lights or feel like they got to get places

507
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:34,580
quick. I often tell my kids, you know, green means go, but red apparently no longer means

508
00:37:34,580 --> 00:37:42,240
stop. The answer is a complicated one and I think maybe even, you know, we could follow up

509
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:49,920
on this. It's a combination of engineering enforcement and education, right? So we have to get

510
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,100
out there and do a lot of education. You've heard this for quite some time, right? We've

511
00:37:55,100 --> 00:38:00,160
got to try to get somehow data providers that they've got to, they're not, you know, one minute

512
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:06,380
does not suffice like potentially taking somebody's life. Engineering is a really critical one.

513
00:38:06,380 --> 00:38:11,140
So how can we think about, as we reinvest in work with you all to fix Sacramento County's

514
00:38:11,140 --> 00:38:12,600
which we've heard a little bit about.

515
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,060
How do we do that right in a way

516
00:38:15,060 --> 00:38:17,880
that can actually make it safer for all modes

517
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,160
and your staff is working really hard on that?

518
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,360
And then enforcement is the obvious one,

519
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:23,160
but it is expensive.

520
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,380
It's expensive to enforce, right?

521
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,400
Thank you.

522
00:38:29,130 --> 00:38:30,370
Good morning.

523
00:38:31,090 --> 00:38:31,630
Good morning.

524
00:38:32,130 --> 00:38:33,810
I fortunately don't need to use the clicker,

525
00:38:33,950 --> 00:38:34,710
but thank you James.

526
00:38:35,870 --> 00:38:38,630
This slide, I just have a few points here.

527
00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:40,530
I don't need to belabor all the work

528
00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:42,690
that we're doing in planning and environmental review

529
00:38:42,690 --> 00:38:45,610
as it relates to infill prioritization,

530
00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:47,810
how we're tackling kind of removing

531
00:38:47,810 --> 00:38:50,070
some of those barriers from a regular toy perspective,

532
00:38:50,310 --> 00:38:50,770
et cetera.

533
00:38:51,970 --> 00:38:54,330
Second, our county has a general plan that emphasizes

534
00:38:54,330 --> 00:38:55,850
a number of ways we can grow.

535
00:38:56,090 --> 00:39:00,530
The previous slide had those forecasted growth amounts of jobs,

536
00:39:00,750 --> 00:39:01,450
housing et cetera.

537
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:05,450
Our general plan growth strategy includes a robust

538
00:39:05,450 --> 00:39:09,510
infill program at this board adopted late last year.

539
00:39:10,950 --> 00:39:24,410
In that program, we have several commercial corridors, I think 14 of them in total, that were identified in our general plan as one of the main ways to grow the other way is obviously new growth.

540
00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:38,850
And those policies were developed quite some time ago with input from FACOG staff, obviously trying to achieve VMT reductions in GHG emissions reductions, smart growth principles in those new growth areas were already doing that successfully.

541
00:39:38,850 --> 00:39:44,870
but for today, the infill opportunity that we have, I want to talk about two corridors.

542
00:39:46,130 --> 00:39:51,030
The first one, Stockton Boulevard, and that's this sign right here, the San Juan Motel.

543
00:39:52,030 --> 00:39:55,230
By the way, is that believe in Supervisor Kennedy's garage now, isn't it?

544
00:39:57,970 --> 00:40:01,890
So, the San Juan Motel site is a long Stockton Boulevard.

545
00:40:01,890 --> 00:40:07,150
We actually use green means go funding, which is one of the Sae Cog's pilot programs.

546
00:40:07,230 --> 00:40:14,830
Two million dollars we received in partnership with the developer there for affordable housing to reuse that site.

547
00:40:15,210 --> 00:40:20,930
That money went towards supporting offsite infrastructure for that San Juan apartment project.

548
00:40:21,730 --> 00:40:25,090
Excuse me, I guess it's contagious, this allergy thing.

549
00:40:27,250 --> 00:40:30,990
The other work we're doing along in the corridor not just limited to that project,

550
00:40:30,990 --> 00:40:34,730
but the whole corridor, as you know, is shared with the City of Sacramento.

551
00:40:35,170 --> 00:40:38,690
And so we're taking a comprehensive look, not just at the streetscape,

552
00:40:38,710 --> 00:40:43,230
from a transportation perspective, but looking at a comprehensive approach.

553
00:40:43,450 --> 00:40:47,830
We're trying to figure out what the infrastructure constraints are, whether that's sewer,

554
00:40:48,030 --> 00:40:55,270
or water, or drainage, trying to address really a more robust transit system, route 52,

555
00:40:55,270 --> 00:41:01,670
that our T's heavily used route goes right through their really a great opportunity for BRT along that corridor.

556
00:41:02,970 --> 00:41:08,470
And really that touches on a couple of those highlighted needs from the survey that James shared.

557
00:41:09,350 --> 00:41:12,910
The other piece here, obviously it's a long corridor, very linear.

558
00:41:13,790 --> 00:41:17,350
We are actively working on updating that special planning area ordinance.

559
00:41:17,590 --> 00:41:24,810
That's the land use document that looks at how we can grow and provide opportunities for in-fill housing.

560
00:41:24,810 --> 00:41:32,010
within that corridor. Ultimately, our vision is to be somewhat consistent from a regulatory

561
00:41:32,010 --> 00:41:36,710
perspective with the city of Sacramento because it is a shared corridor. We don't want the

562
00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:40,810
residents or businesses to have a different approach depending on which side of the street they're on.

563
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:45,850
In fact, we're having active conversations with some property owners about their vision for certain

564
00:41:45,850 --> 00:41:51,770
properties and things look right and stuck. The second corridor I want to talk about is North

565
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:09,050
We're not seeing the amount of interest in that corridor that we want to see, in terms of the type of growth and the housing opportunity that exists not being fulfilled.

566
00:42:09,810 --> 00:42:14,410
So, SAC DOT has done a tremendous amount of work in that corridor as it relates to transportation.

567
00:42:14,670 --> 00:42:20,150
They're working on a complete streets project, as well as the reimagined North Watt.

568
00:42:20,310 --> 00:42:26,430
The broader vision that was looking at the corridors, multimodal aspects, the transportation

569
00:42:26,430 --> 00:42:32,130
needs for all of the users, really trying to figure out how best to leverage the tremendous

570
00:42:32,130 --> 00:42:37,110
opportunity we have with the existing light rail station at Watt and I-80.

571
00:42:38,110 --> 00:42:42,490
On a parallel track, maybe not physical, but anyway.

572
00:42:43,230 --> 00:42:48,090
The corridor plan update is where we're focused on the land use, taking a fresh look

573
00:42:48,090 --> 00:42:53,670
at that corridor plan, trying to figure out why isn't it working from a regulatory perspective,

574
00:42:54,930 --> 00:42:59,070
making it so that it's easier to build housing in that corridor, making it easier for those

575
00:42:59,070 --> 00:43:04,010
business owners that are there to reinvest in their spaces, making it a more economically

576
00:43:04,010 --> 00:43:04,950
viable corridor.

577
00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:11,310
Ultimately, similar to what we're doing in Stockton Boulevard, really tackling the infrastructure

578
00:43:11,310 --> 00:43:11,990
constraints.

579
00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:13,930
We know Suer is a big one.

580
00:43:14,250 --> 00:43:19,370
We have had active conversations with the sex sewer district, as well as we had partnered

581
00:43:19,370 --> 00:43:24,970
with sex suburban water district to go after a grant, ultimately not successful, but

582
00:43:24,970 --> 00:43:29,050
that's an example of what we're trying to do to tackle some of those infrastructure challenges.

583
00:43:30,810 --> 00:43:35,450
Again, we have multiple infill housing opportunities, several vacant sites for having active

584
00:43:35,450 --> 00:43:38,170
conversations with property owners up there as well.

585
00:43:38,470 --> 00:43:45,170
Both of these corridors that we're working on right now represent the values that are embodied

586
00:43:45,170 --> 00:43:50,050
in the blueprint, not just for the housing of all income types, but also for further economic

587
00:43:50,050 --> 00:43:50,530
development.

588
00:43:51,930 --> 00:43:53,230
Great, thank you, Todd.

589
00:43:54,990 --> 00:43:59,730
Yeah, I see as a advisor, Desmond is in the queue, so we'll start with him.

590
00:43:59,950 --> 00:44:00,930
Just real quick.

591
00:44:01,170 --> 00:44:02,850
Thank you, Todd, and we're going to hear more from James.

592
00:44:03,150 --> 00:44:06,510
What is the status of the infill coordinator position that we had approved?

593
00:44:07,330 --> 00:44:09,990
We are just before I went on vacation last week.

594
00:44:10,210 --> 00:44:11,830
We had completed first round of interviews,

595
00:44:12,270 --> 00:44:14,870
and we have hoped to be making a decision in the next week or two.

596
00:44:15,270 --> 00:44:18,990
Okay, because I know we're doing so much work to set the table so to speak,

597
00:44:18,990 --> 00:44:23,510
especially along these other corridors and a lot of other places, but that will be obviously very helpful.

598
00:44:23,670 --> 00:44:28,270
We have that individual on board to help move some additional innovative ideas.

599
00:44:28,850 --> 00:44:29,570
Thank you.

600
00:44:32,890 --> 00:44:33,090
Okay.

601
00:44:33,590 --> 00:44:34,270
Thanks Todd.

602
00:44:35,770 --> 00:44:37,610
Just a pause in a slide for a second here, right?

603
00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:42,170
And I think as you all know, and Chair Stranger, you certainly know from again your time on

604
00:44:42,170 --> 00:44:47,870
carb, we don't want to have a regional plan that just sits on a shelf or a virtual website.

605
00:44:48,010 --> 00:44:49,010
We actually want to implement.

606
00:44:49,010 --> 00:44:56,330
And what Todd just described in Stockton and NorthWat is actually implementing our last plan from 2020.

607
00:44:56,790 --> 00:44:59,970
So we had infill assumptions, right?

608
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:06,900
That we're robust. And the idea was we don't want to just imagine that that will happen. We want to make it happen.

609
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,860
So what you're seeing in these corridors here is the result of our green means go program.

610
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,640
And as you all know, we work really hard in the state legislature.

611
00:45:15,220 --> 00:45:20,240
And we eventually came up with a pilot program. We were hoping for the Sacramento region. It was statewide, 600 million.

612
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:26,360
We got 34 million. That part of that $2 million grant here for Stockton Boulevard.

613
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:34,580
We just applied last year and one, a US DOT reconnecting communities grant, $22 million for

614
00:45:34,580 --> 00:45:38,940
the next phase of green means go, $7 million of that is for the county in North Watt

615
00:45:38,940 --> 00:45:39,960
working with your staff.

616
00:45:40,460 --> 00:45:43,840
So you're part of those grant applications as we put them forward.

617
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,500
So I mean, many ways, the embodiment of the county, the county, the county, the county,

618
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:50,700
right, of green means go.

619
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,480
Let me just mention a couple of the things that are important.

620
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,460
So Todd mentioned infill, but also Todd mentioned new growth areas, right?

621
00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:03,500
In this plan that the board adopted the land use forecast for last summer, we don't

622
00:46:03,500 --> 00:46:07,700
have every single new growth area, not just in Sacramento County, but the entire region.

623
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:13,620
We see all of those, we analyze them about a third of the growth in our forecast, comes

624
00:46:13,620 --> 00:46:17,280
in Greenfield and new growth areas, but not all we're taking in.

625
00:46:17,580 --> 00:46:22,220
Supervisor Hume put forward a couple of ideas last summer that the board and the staff worked

626
00:46:22,220 --> 00:46:27,740
on, one of which is, for the next plan update, the next major update we do, let's do a

627
00:46:27,740 --> 00:46:32,020
deeper analysis of which of these new growth areas actually can contribute to lowering

628
00:46:32,020 --> 00:46:38,620
the M.T. The board adopted that principle in December of last year and it is now folded

629
00:46:38,620 --> 00:46:43,940
into the draft blueprint that's about to come out for public comment in June. So I just want

630
00:46:43,940 --> 00:46:51,140
to address that. The second idea was, how can say cog help the region win grants, competitive grants

631
00:46:51,140 --> 00:46:56,140
for new growth and green field areas because they're also very hard to do, right, many times

632
00:46:56,140 --> 00:46:58,920
you need a lot of infrastructure even for the new growth area.

633
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:04,300
I won't necessarily go into detail because I think you're all very aware of how difficult

634
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:06,600
it is right now at the federal level to win grants.

635
00:47:07,060 --> 00:47:10,880
But I will say, I think a lot of our analysis, again, working with your staff very closely,

636
00:47:11,500 --> 00:47:16,300
our analysis on trying to get infrastructure money competitively for new growth areas is

637
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:20,680
very difficult to do it internal to the development itself.

638
00:47:21,460 --> 00:47:25,740
What we have to do is think about how is that new growth area helping the surrounding communities,

639
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,380
especially if there are disadvantaged communities, whether it's the state level or the federal

640
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:35,720
net level now, I think we're going back to the opportunity zones and areas of persistent poverty,

641
00:47:36,060 --> 00:47:41,000
but if we can make a connection between the existing neighborhoods and the new growth areas

642
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,940
infrastructure and the eventual build out being helpful to those existing residents,

643
00:47:44,940 --> 00:47:46,860
We're going to have a better shot at that.

644
00:47:47,020 --> 00:47:50,780
So I just wanted to address those two bullet points, because I know there had been some questions.

645
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:54,700
Oh, yeah.

646
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,380
Stewart-Verezard doesn't.

647
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,600
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

648
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:58,300
Thank you, James.

649
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,400
I don't know if you're going to bring this up during your presentation.

650
00:48:00,660 --> 00:48:04,200
I knew it was possibly going to come up during some public comment afterwards.

651
00:48:04,380 --> 00:48:10,160
But since you mentioned it, I want to thank you first for the work on those two bullet

652
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,460
or concepts that you just articulated.

653
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,880
I was part of the discussions that we had with Supervisor Hume.

654
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:23,680
and with DOT folks, Mr. DeFonti, Todd Smith, and say Cog about both of those things, and I'm

655
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:29,500
very happy that we were able to incorporate at least that the first, I guess, the first

656
00:48:29,500 --> 00:48:34,720
concept into the planet itself, to acknowledge that we do have some developing community areas

657
00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:39,860
that are helping us meet our DHG, VMT goals, and Sacramento County. I think that's really

658
00:48:39,860 --> 00:48:44,880
important to acknowledge that. And in terms of the other one is, you know, I understand we had

659
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:50,100
a discussion about maybe a more formal structure for funding some opportunities in these new

660
00:48:50,100 --> 00:48:54,720
growth areas that perform very well, but we ended up not incorporating that, but we still

661
00:48:54,720 --> 00:49:03,180
have that discussion where we're looking for funding to benefit any community, infill developing

662
00:49:03,180 --> 00:49:08,440
community that is going to help us meet our goals. In terms of opportunities with this administration,

663
00:49:08,740 --> 00:49:12,540
you know, you alluded to that a little bit, some things maybe on the periphery of developing

664
00:49:12,540 --> 00:49:13,000
communities.

665
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,200
But what are some other priorities we're hearing out of the new administration in terms

666
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:23,020
of projects that might compete better, you know, maybe more shovel-ready projects?

667
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,240
And what are you seeing in what are maybe some other opportunities that we could maybe take

668
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:28,620
advantage of?

669
00:49:28,740 --> 00:49:33,280
I mean, obviously a lot of what we're focused on as a transportation and DOT side, and we're

670
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,340
to try to sort of understand that.

671
00:49:35,340 --> 00:49:37,840
I mean, the area's a persistent poverty is one side.

672
00:49:37,900 --> 00:49:41,640
I think, you know, we have, and I know we work very closely with your staff, so mapping

673
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,840
and understanding what the the new geographies are that this new administration is going to

674
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:51,000
care about, which is the same as we had in the first Trump administration, especially when

675
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,220
we had the the tax act and the opportunities sounds that came through that. So that's one is

676
00:49:56,220 --> 00:50:01,100
sort of what we call areas of persistent, persistent poverty. The other one is actually high

677
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:07,500
marriage and birth rates. That is a that is a screen that the U.S.D.O.T. is now using

678
00:50:08,540 --> 00:50:16,800
And we have actually, we've mapped now as much as we can the entire region for that, and it really varies across the region.

679
00:50:17,180 --> 00:50:30,040
So that's the U.S. D.O.T. side. I would say on the land use and development side, it looks like ground fields and superfund if we have any areas that are, and that typically is a sort of a republican administration priority.

680
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,540
So that seems to be something that is working its way up.

681
00:50:33,580 --> 00:50:38,400
I don't think we have enough of analysis yet about how else we might compete on things like

682
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,340
flood control and other things, so we're happy to get back to them.

683
00:50:42,980 --> 00:50:43,380
That's good.

684
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,740
I appreciate that feedback.

685
00:50:45,060 --> 00:50:48,720
I just wanted to get some assurance that we're obviously looking at it and we may have

686
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:52,520
to change our approach a little bit with this administration, but I just want to make sure

687
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,660
we're not leaving or not taking advantage of these.

688
00:50:54,940 --> 00:50:57,680
We should not hang up the gloves or think we can't get funding.

689
00:50:57,860 --> 00:50:58,740
That is for sure.

690
00:50:58,740 --> 00:51:03,920
And I thought we had a very positive set of meetings at CAP to CAP.

691
00:51:04,420 --> 00:51:07,440
We had a meeting with the US DOT and many of the political appointees.

692
00:51:08,420 --> 00:51:10,500
And we had many elected officials in that meeting.

693
00:51:11,180 --> 00:51:16,400
And the feedback was, you all are trying to solve your plot problems really creatively,

694
00:51:16,740 --> 00:51:22,740
because clearly you don't have a big checkbook, but it's very impressive what you're trying to do across the six counties.

695
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,220
So we'll take that and we'll run with it.

696
00:51:27,220 --> 00:51:57,200
Thank you chair James just your later comment about how to address and how to go after funding and so forth and strategy of simultaneously addressing the needs and opportunities in new development areas would would would you say just so that we can visualize would you say that the new construction along the new development along the Jackson corridor and recognizing those needs and addressing those needs and opportunities along the new development

697
00:51:57,220 --> 00:52:01,200
with Rosemot would be a strategy is that you were, it was that great example.

698
00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:02,120
Great case study.

699
00:52:02,580 --> 00:52:03,160
Great case study.

700
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:09,780
And in part, right, because as we have learned again, working with your team and the stakeholders

701
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:14,940
there, there's some blood control issues that have real benefits downstream and have benefits

702
00:52:14,940 --> 00:52:17,380
to what we would all call disadvantaged communities.

703
00:52:18,260 --> 00:52:20,080
We've talked about the trail network, right?

704
00:52:20,140 --> 00:52:25,280
And sometimes in new growth areas, we have great trails, but they connect within the community

705
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:29,860
but not outside, and so we're working to figure out

706
00:52:29,860 --> 00:52:33,560
with your staff here, your very dedicated county staff,

707
00:52:34,020 --> 00:52:37,000
and the stakeholders on a trail concept

708
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:39,600
that could be part of the regional trails plan

709
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,100
that, again, is part of the blueprint,

710
00:52:41,420 --> 00:52:42,920
which is connecting the entire region.

711
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,080
So that residents of existing communities

712
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,540
like Rosemot actually begin to benefit

713
00:52:47,540 --> 00:52:51,100
from more sub-regional, right?

714
00:52:51,100 --> 00:52:53,740
But beyond the footprint of the development itself

715
00:52:53,740 --> 00:52:55,260
infrastructure investments.

716
00:52:58,170 --> 00:53:03,370
Thank you. So, have some general. Are you thinking of your presentation?

717
00:53:04,290 --> 00:53:08,970
Well, I think we're, we can, yeah, sure. I didn't like it the time.

718
00:53:09,930 --> 00:53:14,110
I'm sensing, I'm reading the room. I was trying to leave the witness here.

719
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:19,290
Here's the, look, here's the timeline for the plan just to make sure we're transparent about this.

720
00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:24,510
Our land use committee of the board approved the draft plan that's up on our website last week.

721
00:53:24,510 --> 00:53:37,410
That's where that first bullet point resides, we have a full board, approval of it for release, for public comment, along with the EIR later this month, and so June and July are the major as the timeframe for public comment.

722
00:53:37,910 --> 00:53:46,650
We'll have a 55 day public comment period. We'll bring that back. We'll take all the comments along with the EIR. We'll have a draft plan in September and adoption in November.

723
00:53:46,650 --> 00:53:50,490
And that timeline, I think again, if you're on the Seicog Board, you know, is important

724
00:53:50,490 --> 00:53:56,590
because we have to kind of keep moving and keep our plan updated so that we can conform and

725
00:53:56,590 --> 00:54:01,110
adhere to a lot of our federal and state requirements, and is very importantly, keeps

726
00:54:01,110 --> 00:54:03,550
transportation funding flowing to the region.

727
00:54:04,490 --> 00:54:05,470
That's it.

728
00:54:05,630 --> 00:54:05,730
All right.

729
00:54:05,910 --> 00:54:06,370
Thank you.

730
00:54:06,930 --> 00:54:14,170
So I have some comments and forgive me in advance, there may be a little disjointed, but I'll

731
00:54:14,170 --> 00:54:22,590
start with the fact that I think, you know, James at UNI, probably go back for anyone else back

732
00:54:22,590 --> 00:54:29,030
30 years ago in the Bay Area when the likes of Sunny McPeak and Gary Binger, the executive

733
00:54:29,030 --> 00:54:36,390
director, then, of A-Bag, were working hand in glove on the blueprint for the 9 County area.

734
00:54:36,390 --> 00:54:41,890
And so when I returned home in 2000,

735
00:54:44,930 --> 00:54:50,150
and the initiation of the blueprint began here under

736
00:54:50,150 --> 00:54:56,530
Mike McKeevers' leadership at say cog, it felt a little like blueprint, I just was kind

737
00:54:56,530 --> 00:55:05,970
fall in me around a little bit, but I will say, you know, I think I'm generally a fan of what

738
00:55:05,970 --> 00:55:15,350
it attempts to do. And I'm not just talking about the kind of the perennial updates here,

739
00:55:16,570 --> 00:55:21,790
but kind of providing principles for us to all think about when I say, I send me local government

740
00:55:21,790 --> 00:55:25,430
because, you know, mostly for the public's benefit,

741
00:55:25,890 --> 00:55:27,450
say Cog does not have land use authority.

742
00:55:27,710 --> 00:55:29,130
We have land use authority.

743
00:55:31,070 --> 00:55:36,030
Say Cog does have some control over transportation funding

744
00:55:36,030 --> 00:55:38,370
as it relates to land use decision making.

745
00:55:38,370 --> 00:55:40,290
It's kind of an interesting dance that we do.

746
00:55:42,190 --> 00:55:46,130
But I guess where I'm going with this is that based on kind of my experience

747
00:55:46,130 --> 00:55:51,290
and what I know about your experience and kind of understanding the progress

748
00:55:51,290 --> 00:55:57,510
over the last at least three decades of how, especially Greenfield development, I would argue

749
00:55:57,510 --> 00:56:06,970
has become much more responsive and responsible, relative to the principles, I think, in the

750
00:56:06,970 --> 00:56:13,910
original blueprint for Sega, it was seven principles, whether it be, you know, maybe more

751
00:56:13,910 --> 00:56:23,910
compact, design, more housing diversity, incorporating more public transportation options

752
00:56:23,910 --> 00:56:27,410
and alternatives, active transportation alternatives.

753
00:56:28,410 --> 00:56:36,930
Those are all attributes that I think have certainly made their way into the local and regional

754
00:56:36,930 --> 00:56:45,350
planning profession as it relates to the character and the anticipated function of green

755
00:56:45,350 --> 00:56:50,750
field developments. I know we have a lot of focus on new fill and we should and if you

756
00:56:50,750 --> 00:56:55,710
do a lot of walking like I do here around downtown and midtown you can really really see

757
00:56:55,710 --> 00:57:02,070
how the city of Sacramento to their credit is really taken advantage of exploiting in a good

758
00:57:02,070 --> 00:57:31,190
way, those infill opportunities. That's just to get an example. But I think you and I can both agree to that not everyone is going to live in a three story walk up. Not everyone is going to want to live immediately in a town house town home environment. And that's the market. Right. So we can we can certainly do our surveys and be as in touches. We can be with.

759
00:57:32,070 --> 00:57:39,570
public sentiment, and that's a very part of a blueprint, a blueprint, development, and updating

760
00:57:39,570 --> 00:57:46,510
and progression, but it would be naive and foolish, in my humble opinion, if we didn't

761
00:57:46,510 --> 00:57:50,990
temper that kind of continually with understanding where the market is for, especially

762
00:57:50,990 --> 00:57:51,630
for housing.

763
00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:59,870
It doesn't mean that you just leave it to the market to plan our communities, that would

764
00:57:59,870 --> 00:58:07,150
a complete mistake, but if we don't at least have some reverence for what the market tells

765
00:58:07,150 --> 00:58:13,010
us, especially as people progress through a life cycle, right, your single, maybe you have

766
00:58:13,010 --> 00:58:19,270
a partner, maybe you have a growing family, priorities change, they go from, hey, I want

767
00:58:19,270 --> 00:58:24,710
to be near active, nightlife, well, now I have a child or two, now I would like to,

768
00:58:26,730 --> 00:58:29,810
you know,

769
00:58:29,810 --> 00:58:38,090
of my decisions about where we live, so taking all of that into account, what can you say

770
00:58:38,090 --> 00:58:48,550
generally about how the blueprint in its evolution is given credence to the fact that, again,

771
00:58:48,850 --> 00:58:57,250
our greenfield developments as well as our in-fill applications and proposals is really attempting

772
00:58:57,250 --> 00:59:03,370
I would argue achieving to a pretty large extent, you know,

773
00:59:03,370 --> 00:59:06,450
respect for the principles that are, you know,

774
00:59:07,070 --> 00:59:08,350
the kind of crux of the blueprint.

775
00:59:09,910 --> 00:59:10,890
Yeah, thank you, Chair Serena.

776
00:59:11,090 --> 00:59:14,690
I mean, I really, I think, all the way back to the original

777
00:59:14,690 --> 00:59:17,390
blueprint you mentioned in 2004, that the region adopted

778
00:59:17,390 --> 00:59:18,050
voluntarily.

779
00:59:19,710 --> 00:59:23,390
We have basically a diverse portfolio, right, that we're trying

780
00:59:23,390 --> 00:59:24,330
to build in this region.

781
00:59:25,030 --> 00:59:26,350
And I would maybe even give you the tag line.

782
00:59:26,350 --> 00:59:31,670
We're trying to build great places that have lasting value, right, that are in some ways timeless.

783
00:59:32,130 --> 00:59:34,150
And that looks like urban infill.

784
00:59:34,210 --> 00:59:37,290
It looks like suburban revitalization in commercial quarters.

785
00:59:37,290 --> 00:59:43,190
It looks like really great, walkable, new growth greenfield areas that people on the

786
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:46,050
living, they can raise families in, right, they want to stay in.

787
00:59:47,790 --> 00:59:52,590
We've never, our, our, sometimes our blueprint from 20 years ago is misunderstood in

788
00:59:52,590 --> 00:59:57,870
regions the country as an urban growth boundary, a hard stop, it's not, as you know.

789
00:59:58,730 --> 00:59:59,970
It's really an edict-

790
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,920
It's a strategy, right, to build great places, no matter where they are. Which is why we took the board to Denver and even Salt Lake City. There's a great development called daybreak on the suburb of Salt Lake City, which has every single kind of housing product. You can imagine in a brand new growth area, right? And it has great trails and active transportation. So we are trying to do that in this region and we, you know, that's what we're trying to achieve, right? It's that balance. But we can't.

791
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:35,100
It's not in either or, sometimes I think we get into this, you know, back and forth of,

792
01:00:35,140 --> 01:00:36,520
is it in fill or is it green filled?

793
01:00:36,860 --> 01:00:41,780
That's not what the plan says, plan says we're building great places for a diverse region

794
01:00:41,780 --> 01:00:49,260
and diverse communities and diverse resonance, families, singles, that's what we're trying to achieve.

795
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:58,600
I think I agree with that. I think, again, to the extent that it matters, but I think the

796
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:07,300
principles are actually more important than the maps, sometimes, and to your point, we get

797
01:01:07,300 --> 01:01:15,520
cut up on a quick glance at a map and make some assumptions, unfortunately, about what it

798
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:15,960
all means.

799
01:01:15,980 --> 01:01:21,740
But if you don't take the deep dive into understanding when the principles behind what the

800
01:01:21,740 --> 01:01:26,020
maps graphically tell us, then I think we're all missing the point.

801
01:01:26,020 --> 01:01:50,200
But again, the point I'm trying to stress here, though, is the fact that if you look at green field development today versus when I was working for the largest home builder back in the mid-80s, it is night and day in terms of amenities and concern for VMT, even today, trying to minimize that.

802
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:56,980
And so I would just hope moving forward that we just keep our eyes wide open to the fact that

803
01:01:56,980 --> 01:02:03,120
we have to be responsive in both, you know, the infill space and the Greenfield space.

804
01:02:03,860 --> 01:02:08,840
If I may very quickly, Dave DeFonti deputy cutting executive, you know,

805
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,700
taught it alluded to our general plan earlier today.

806
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:15,520
And it is a multifaceted approach to accommodating growth,

807
01:02:15,660 --> 01:02:18,840
infill developing communities, new growth communities, et cetera.

808
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:27,040
But what I wanted to mention here along your comments was how the general plan treats new growth areas.

809
01:02:27,820 --> 01:02:38,140
And I am hyper aware of that because I sat through 26 board workshops in these very chambers to craft our general plan, along with policies L-19 and 120.

810
01:02:38,140 --> 01:02:44,180
And at the time, I personally, along with others in this room, we're working extremely closely with, say,

811
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:53,480
Cog and Mr. McKeever, to essentially translate some of those blueprint policies into local policy in our general plan.

812
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:58,020
And LE1-19 and 1-20 are the embodiment of that discussion.

813
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:03,880
And to your point, Chair, you know, what we're going to see out of what we're already seeing out of those policies

814
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:10,420
is new growth areas being planned in a fundamentally different way than we've seen in the past.

815
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:16,260
Encompassing densities, transit, amenities like parks, et cetera, in ways that we probably

816
01:03:16,260 --> 01:03:18,700
would not have imagined 30 years ago.

817
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,780
So I would venture, I guess, and I think I feel pretty confident in saying this, that our

818
01:03:23,780 --> 01:03:28,980
policy basis in our general plan is probably the most aggressive in the region related

819
01:03:28,980 --> 01:03:33,160
to how we are treating you growth areas and what we are demanding of them.

820
01:03:33,980 --> 01:03:39,780
Now I think the next phase we've spent, you know, better part of 15 years master planning

821
01:03:39,780 --> 01:03:44,420
some areas and we're still, you know, bringing some of those to fruition, but it's going to

822
01:03:44,420 --> 01:03:49,320
be how we implement those over time, right, and making sure that as those areas grow out,

823
01:03:49,500 --> 01:03:54,000
we stick to that policy basis and ensure that they're constructed in a way that was envisioned

824
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:59,140
along with the planning process, Percental, you want 1-18 and 1-20?

825
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:03,060
Great reminder about our general plan, Dave. Thank you.

826
01:04:03,380 --> 01:04:07,480
All right. Any more more comments from our questions from Board members?

827
01:04:07,780 --> 01:04:08,500
Who has your decision?

828
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,440
And I know we have some public condomials.

829
01:04:12,460 --> 01:04:16,340
A couple of comments now. Thanks for bringing that up, Dave, because I know that came up a lot

830
01:04:16,340 --> 01:04:21,520
in some of the spirited discussions we had about the blueprint and how Sacramento County,

831
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:31,740
Because of our general plan, our developing communities are not necessarily the same as developing communities in other jurisdictions throughout this region, and that was a source of a lot of discussions we had.

832
01:04:32,940 --> 01:04:48,900
A couple of things I want to bring up is in highlight is one we're doing it going to be doing the offsite meeting and tour in our Narcade community and one of the reasons of that is because it's an environmental justice community and that part of the county.

833
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:58,340
having this tour, this off-site location is consistent with our triple bottom line approach and our race equity inclusion efforts at St. Cox. I'm very proud that we're going to be doing that.

834
01:04:58,580 --> 01:05:04,760
And my district, but I think it's going to be a great opportunity to highlight some of the challenges that we have in Sacramento County.

835
01:05:04,780 --> 01:05:10,900
I think unique challenges that we have along some of these older suburban corridors that have

836
01:05:11,740 --> 01:05:17,660
outlive, they're usefulness in a lot of ways, and are caring, caring a lot more capacity than they were ever designed for.

837
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:22,420
And to hear from our staff about all the things we're doing, for the other particular work members,

838
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:29,720
to hear from staff about all the things we're doing to set the table, so to speak, and how that only gets us part of the way there.

839
01:05:30,260 --> 01:05:31,500
So I'm looking forward to that.

840
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:37,800
And I also want to, could you go back one slide, James, I want to make sure, any chance right here,

841
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,660
When I'll make sure there's, we always highlight, prioritizing maintenance to repair.

842
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:42,460
Did you see that?

843
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:43,940
I did.

844
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:45,440
I did a gloss over that.

845
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,220
I was looking forward to this coming up and never want to lose sight of the fact.

846
01:05:49,620 --> 01:05:53,560
Obviously, that this is one of our biggest challenges and unincorporated Sacramento County

847
01:05:53,560 --> 01:06:01,500
with our 1.4 billion dollar maintenance backlog and always trying to improve our multi-modal roadways,

848
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:07,140
improve all these things, but our struggle is just getting our dog on roads repaired,

849
01:06:07,140 --> 01:06:11,140
which is a disincentive to attracting more development.

850
01:06:11,220 --> 01:06:15,900
Whether that's housing or other commercial development opportunities in these suburban areas.

851
01:06:16,380 --> 01:06:21,380
So want to just get that screen up there or that slide up there on the screen.

852
01:06:22,020 --> 01:06:22,740
And final words.

853
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:28,000
I appreciate you using that education enforcement and engineering.

854
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,280
That was a mantra in my prior life in the CHP.

855
01:06:31,460 --> 01:06:34,660
And it does take a combination of those three things for traffic safety.

856
01:06:34,820 --> 01:06:35,380
Thank you James.

857
01:06:35,380 --> 01:06:37,920
Thank you, Supervisor County.

858
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,440
It's just really quickly just because that slide is up.

859
01:06:41,460 --> 01:06:47,300
I just want to make it the point that BRT lane in Stockton Boulevard takes off

860
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:48,280
every one of those boxes.

861
01:06:48,780 --> 01:06:50,440
Thank you.

862
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:53,720
All right.

863
01:06:54,180 --> 01:06:55,660
Oh, all right.

864
01:06:55,740 --> 01:07:00,760
I think that concludes our comments for the time being standby.

865
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,360
Madam Clerk, we have public speakers?

866
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:04,860
We do not for this item.

867
01:07:06,820 --> 01:07:06,840
OK.

868
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:08,860
All right.

869
01:07:09,060 --> 01:07:12,040
Then I will just conclude by thanking you, James.

870
01:07:12,180 --> 01:07:12,980
Thanks, Todd.

871
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:21,020
Thanks, Dave, for enlightening us and the public about the blueprint update

872
01:07:21,020 --> 01:07:23,620
and responding to our questions to appreciate it.

873
01:07:23,780 --> 01:07:26,220
Chair, if I could, I just really want to thank your staff.

874
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,820
It's been great working with them.

875
01:07:29,380 --> 01:07:30,620
They're putting everything.

876
01:07:30,860 --> 01:07:32,600
They're heart and soul into the tour.

877
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:37,860
That's a revised advertisement just mentioned, but I think in general, when we talk about how to

878
01:07:37,860 --> 01:07:43,080
Sacramento County show up in the blueprint, I hope I gave you a couple of examples, but we have a lot more

879
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:47,460
examples today, I think, than we've had for quite some time, and that's because you've got a great staff,

880
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:53,180
you've got a great team, they're working most really closely, we're dovetailing into these competitive grants.

881
01:07:53,500 --> 01:08:00,620
So it's not an either or, right, as we've discussed, but just want to thank your staff for being so engaged with us and being great partners.

882
01:08:00,860 --> 01:08:01,140
Thank you.

883
01:08:01,140 --> 01:08:01,800
Thank you, James.

884
01:08:02,300 --> 01:08:04,840
And great representation on the State Cog Board, of course, from Sacramento.

885
01:08:07,820 --> 01:08:08,200
All right.

886
01:08:08,740 --> 01:08:09,420
Next item, please.

887
01:08:09,620 --> 01:08:13,960
Okay, our next item is item four, presentation of Resolution Recognizing Older

888
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,720
Americans Month, the flipped the script on aging.

889
01:08:31,660 --> 01:08:32,580
Thank you.

890
01:08:34,060 --> 01:08:35,800
Good morning, Chesterna and Board members.

891
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:40,580
My name is Melissa Jacobs, and I am your deputy director for senior and adult services.

892
01:08:41,460 --> 01:08:46,100
I want to thank the Board for your continued commitment to ensuring Sacramento County

893
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:49,920
is an agent disability-friendly community for all.

894
01:08:50,460 --> 01:08:52,520
Every year in May, we have the opportunity

895
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,240
to recognize contributions of our older adults,

896
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,580
taking note of the trends on aging

897
01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,120
and renewing our commitment to how our older adults.

898
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,540
This year's national theme for older American's month

899
01:09:05,540 --> 01:09:07,100
is flipped the script on aging.

900
01:09:07,980 --> 01:09:09,700
This encourages us to think differently

901
01:09:09,700 --> 01:09:12,660
about aging, how we talk about it,

902
01:09:12,820 --> 01:09:13,960
and what we think about aging,

903
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,160
and how we value the aging process.

904
01:09:16,780 --> 01:09:18,680
The seam sheds light on the embedded

905
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,020
and subtle misconceptions and stereotypes

906
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,680
and challenges us to address the stigma associated

907
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,320
with aging by honoring the contributions

908
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:30,460
of older adults highlighting the many opportunities

909
01:09:30,460 --> 01:09:33,480
that we all have as we age to stay connected,

910
01:09:34,060 --> 01:09:37,280
to have purpose, and to stay active.

911
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,860
Here in California, our governor and the Department of Aging

912
01:09:41,860 --> 01:09:47,760
recognize this month as older California's month and as the state, our county's population,

913
01:09:47,940 --> 01:09:52,420
a quarter of our county's population will also be aged 60 and over by the year 2030.

914
01:09:54,040 --> 01:09:59,020
Thank you for approving our local age and disability friendly action plan earlier this year.

915
01:09:59,380 --> 01:10:05,820
Our subcommittees are already working on goals, which will help us to flip the script here in Sacramento.

916
01:10:05,820 --> 01:10:12,200
I'd also like to acknowledge a couple of our system partners in the work on aging services.

917
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:17,560
You're a adult in aging commission, who you hear from in a minute, as well as our local

918
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:24,840
age and disability resource connection program, which is operated by three partners, area four,

919
01:10:25,260 --> 01:10:28,040
resources for independent living and ACC signatures.

920
01:10:29,340 --> 01:10:35,320
So thank you so much for being partners with us in highlighting and valuing our older adults.

921
01:10:35,940 --> 01:10:39,200
And I'd like, I think, Pam, would you like to say a couple of us?

922
01:10:39,580 --> 01:10:43,080
Our executive director, area four, Pam Miller.

923
01:10:47,670 --> 01:10:48,110
Thank you, Melissa.

924
01:10:48,270 --> 01:10:51,750
And I want to acknowledge that Melissa is on our advisory council and it's a very active

925
01:10:51,750 --> 01:10:53,610
member at the agency on aging.

926
01:10:54,090 --> 01:10:57,870
But I just want to thank you for always keeping people with disabilities and people that are

927
01:10:57,870 --> 01:10:58,690
aging in the forefront.

928
01:10:59,230 --> 01:11:02,830
I think that your agency and disability resource plan really does that.

929
01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:08,410
I think that the ADRC, the Agent Disability Resource Connection that we have in Sacramento,

930
01:11:08,410 --> 01:11:14,990
which is a very active ADRC that provides services like transition from hospital to home

931
01:11:14,990 --> 01:11:21,890
and nursing home to home, short-term counseling, case management, all sorts of programs that

932
01:11:21,890 --> 01:11:26,770
help people stay in the community. And I think that's the goal for all of us to have everybody

933
01:11:26,770 --> 01:11:31,410
in the least restricted environment that they can be in. So thank you very much for acknowledging this.

934
01:11:31,530 --> 01:11:32,550
Thanks for your service, Pam.

935
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,760
I'd also introduce Dr. Abba, your chair of the Adult and

936
01:11:42,440 --> 01:11:43,160
Thank

937
01:11:49,140 --> 01:11:55,500
you, Melissa. Good morning, everyone. Thank you, my name is Theresa Abba. They

938
01:11:55,500 --> 01:12:03,460
chair for the Sacramento County Adults and Aging Commission, and it is my order to

939
01:12:03,460 --> 01:12:09,300
also join today in celebrating the American's month. A month when the nation comes together

940
01:12:09,300 --> 01:12:15,660
to recognize the invaluable contributions of all the adults across our country. So we extend

941
01:12:15,660 --> 01:12:18,780
at deepest appreciation to the Board of Supervisors

942
01:12:18,780 --> 01:12:21,480
and for Austin today's celebration

943
01:12:21,480 --> 01:12:25,360
and for your continued support in promoting programs

944
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:29,120
and policies that are left all the adults.

945
01:12:30,220 --> 01:12:33,820
And also, this ES team, this ES team,

946
01:12:34,060 --> 01:12:35,800
flipped the script on Aging.

947
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:39,540
Call the null of us to rethink about Aging,

948
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,480
how we view Aging, and to move beyond the limiting stereotypes

949
01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:50,580
that view aging as a period of decline and instead to recognize the violent chapter of life,

950
01:12:51,100 --> 01:12:57,060
which the experience of older adults has to show. So, I encourage all of us to celebrate

951
01:12:57,060 --> 01:13:04,440
aging as a dynamic process, marked with opportunity, connection and impact. So, today we are proud

952
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:10,680
to honor some extraordinary accomplishments by some older adults and also we also want to think

953
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,820
all the agencies that support the service for older adults.

954
01:13:15,440 --> 01:13:18,580
So as we celebrate this month, older Americans

955
01:13:18,580 --> 01:13:21,660
months, we encourage everyone to please join us

956
01:13:21,660 --> 01:13:24,420
to celebrate the contribution of older adults

957
01:13:24,420 --> 01:13:27,940
and help us flip the scripts on or in the legacy,

958
01:13:28,260 --> 01:13:31,200
strength and contribution of older Americans.

959
01:13:31,820 --> 01:13:33,600
So thank you so much for this opportunity.

960
01:13:33,980 --> 01:13:36,740
We will be calling our recipients,

961
01:13:37,220 --> 01:13:38,040
what is soon.

962
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:38,740
Thank you.

963
01:13:39,620 --> 01:13:40,200
Thank you.

964
01:13:51,020 --> 01:13:55,960
We do not have any public comments on this item and up. Do you guys want to do a picture?

965
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:57,580
I would get up with the result.

966
01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:09,260
So, if the other commissioners can join us so that we can recognize the recipients?

967
01:14:17,540 --> 01:14:19,100
Okay. The pictures.

968
01:14:20,300 --> 01:14:20,620
Okay.

969
01:14:21,300 --> 01:14:22,060
The commissioners.

970
01:14:25,620 --> 01:14:26,500
Oh, no, no, no.

971
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:27,440
We don't the commissioners.

972
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:28,300
We don't the commissioners.

973
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:29,400
Can

974
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:45,700
you do?

975
01:14:47,610 --> 01:14:47,890
So.

976
01:14:54,780 --> 01:14:57,300
Mr. Chair, you've been for me to read the next item?

977
01:14:58,240 --> 01:14:58,280
Yes.

978
01:14:58,700 --> 01:14:58,940
Okay.

979
01:14:59,460 --> 01:14:59,880
For item.

980
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:07,360
5. This is the presentation of resolutions, recognizing the adult and aging commission 5 over 50 awards.

981
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,840
All right. Thank you. Good morning again.

982
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:21,000
So today we are honored to recognize the adult and aging commission 5 over 50 outstanding volunteer awardees.

983
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:27,220
Volunteerism creates opportunities for purpose and contribution to our thriving community.

984
01:15:27,500 --> 01:15:35,040
Older adults continue to highlight Sacramento's progress in being an engaged, safe, and livable community for all.

985
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:41,460
The volunteers recognized today have volunteered in Sacramento County for a combined total of over 70 years

986
01:15:41,460 --> 01:15:47,300
and I think that's probably an underestimate, but by my calculations, I would like to express the sincere things

987
01:15:47,300 --> 01:15:51,780
to these amazing individuals who are not just there's this year's awardees but also individuals

988
01:15:51,780 --> 01:15:55,800
who embody the theme of how to flip the script on aging.

989
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,640
We have a short video, I think, as well.

990
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:24,240
I'm going to tell me at the end of that's the program here at the International Airport in Sacramento.

991
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:30,100
I said, hey, that would be great for me. I love that. I love the airport. I love the activity there.

992
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:36,720
I love being the airport atmosphere. I do like something. I enjoy helping the people here and it's just a

993
01:16:37,460 --> 01:16:40,020
something that makes you feel good.

994
01:16:40,940 --> 01:16:44,780
I think what I like most of what I said is I just like helping people.

995
01:16:45,380 --> 01:16:46,320
And that's what you do here.

996
01:16:46,340 --> 01:16:50,340
We help people, customer service is what we do.

997
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:52,880
And we want to give the best customer service we can.

998
01:16:53,020 --> 01:16:55,140
We want folks to come back to this airport and say,

999
01:16:55,140 --> 01:16:56,340
I love it here.

1000
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:57,980
And yes, they're what I've been to.

1001
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,080
The people are great.

1002
01:17:04,480 --> 01:17:06,440
And there's just, there's something for everyone.

1003
01:17:06,900 --> 01:17:10,910
It's in deliver gifts and it's a few people's faces when they get to gifts.

1004
01:17:11,700 --> 01:17:13,000
You can write it.

1005
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,200
That's started to get into a friend of mine.

1006
01:17:16,020 --> 01:17:18,680
I wanted to make barbecue for her daughter.

1007
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:20,760
Then I started putting the boxes together.

1008
01:17:21,260 --> 01:17:23,420
Didn't have anything in any place to give her.

1009
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:28,240
So my sister is in a child protective service and she told me that.

1010
01:17:29,140 --> 01:17:33,580
For all the gifts, they send out blanks, thank you notes.

1011
01:17:33,580 --> 01:17:39,920
the people can thank us and some of them are very touching. There was a couple last year where the kids said

1012
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:45,740
this is the first time they ever got a Christmas game. So it was a little sad that it kind of

1013
01:17:45,740 --> 01:17:46,980
spurred you on to be more.

1014
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:32,440
I'm happy childhood and now I'm making two long story short. As an adult

1015
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:40,780
I said, you know what? No child should be unhappy and that's one. At lunch and at recess I play

1016
01:18:40,780 --> 01:18:44,000
that's what the kid, that's what he's domino, that's what he's doing.

1017
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:53,840
Or checkers, just my life set up a drawing table for them, so that is my thing living to dream.

1018
01:18:54,460 --> 01:18:58,600
I think at the end of the day, we all should try to give back some kind of way.

1019
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:05,440
Everybody has their own midst, you know, and if once you retire or you're even not retired,

1020
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:10,180
you got a lot of time your hand. I think giving back is a good thing

1021
01:19:10,180 --> 01:19:13,520
and makes you feel good about yourself. I just feel good.

1022
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:28,720
Very good.

1023
01:19:31,300 --> 01:19:32,700
I will go ahead and

1024
01:19:32,700 --> 01:19:36,500
call each of them and with their folks who are here to support.

1025
01:19:40,380 --> 01:19:41,220
I'll go to the strip one,

1026
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,660
I'll go in order. Okay. Gene Intercom.

1027
01:19:59,750 --> 01:20:03,370
For those that don't know, the Intercom name is very

1028
01:20:03,370 --> 01:20:11,750
prominent and well respected in the Thomas where my wife and I have lived for almost 25 years.

1029
01:20:12,690 --> 01:20:16,650
I'm glad to see Gene is doing all that great work at the airport.

1030
01:20:17,230 --> 01:20:17,750
Thank you, Gene.

1031
01:20:24,060 --> 01:20:26,280
And district two, Barbara Heinrich?

1032
01:20:45,590 --> 01:20:46,870
Can you come by school?

1033
01:20:47,750 --> 01:20:47,850
Yeah.

1034
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:05,220
Barbara, before you go, I want to thank you on behalf of district two.

1035
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,180
For the great work you do in our community, make our community better.

1036
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:14,700
And thank you so much for your efforts, your work, continued work, and all you do.

1037
01:21:14,700 --> 01:21:23,200
And and Sherri, I'm sorry, I misread the agenda item when I saw this as 5 or 50, I thought they were talking about us.

1038
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:24,080
No.

1039
01:21:25,380 --> 01:21:25,940
No, it would be.

1040
01:21:30,190 --> 01:21:33,010
And then I think district three is work with Barley.

1041
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,700
I just want to say that it's wonderful to be recognized.

1042
01:21:54,700 --> 01:22:05,840
But as we that are recognized are only good at what we do because we have so many people around us that help us to do what we do.

1043
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:12,780
And my two areas right now are Carmichael Hart and the Carmichael food closet.

1044
01:22:13,780 --> 01:22:17,380
And we couldn't do any of that without all of the other volunteers are here.

1045
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:23,400
So we're just merely representatives of a wonderful cadre of people who support us.

1046
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:42,040
And Barbara, I just want to add my thanks to you and everything you do in the community.

1047
01:22:42,860 --> 01:22:50,400
And the work you do with the unhoused, but also your willingness to engage with the larger community about the challenges we face.

1048
01:22:50,780 --> 01:22:53,760
I've seen firsthand the work you do and the impacts it has.

1049
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:58,140
And I know we had some grand designs on doing some bigger things in Carmichael.

1050
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,320
Those have not gone away. I mean we saw those opportunities.

1051
01:23:01,660 --> 01:23:04,880
But I'm so thrilled that you're recognized today. Thank you for all your work.

1052
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,940
District 4, Bonnie Shoochuk.

1053
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:39,740
Thank you.

1054
01:23:41,180 --> 01:23:43,780
Bonnie, Bonnie.

1055
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,840
Bonnie, I just want to thank you for all that you do.

1056
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,640
You truly embody this spirit of community.

1057
01:23:50,440 --> 01:23:51,720
And you have a heart for your community.

1058
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:53,440
You have exceptional leadership.

1059
01:23:53,620 --> 01:23:55,640
And the work you do is greatly appreciated.

1060
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:56,820
Thank you.

1061
01:23:56,820 --> 01:23:57,680
Thank you so much.

1062
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:05,880
District 5.

1063
01:24:06,700 --> 01:24:07,740
Tony Ruchin.

1064
01:24:08,380 --> 01:24:08,660
Tina?

1065
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:20,480
What do you want to say?

1066
01:24:21,460 --> 01:24:24,320
I just want to say thank you. I'm overwhelmed.

1067
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,560
You go by coach Tony, don't you?

1068
01:24:28,020 --> 01:24:35,220
Well, I do. Back in Prima where I come from, I post baseball for like over 30 years,

1069
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,360
literally again. It's just up to stuck with me.

1070
01:24:38,740 --> 01:24:42,780
Well, district five supervisor, Pat Hume is not here today,

1071
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:48,600
but he did want me to certainly pass along his gratitude for your service,

1072
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:54,100
especially in the galt and herald communities and as we saw in the video all your great work

1073
01:24:54,100 --> 01:25:00,540
at managing after school programs keeping young minds active is very much appreciated so thank you

1074
01:25:00,540 --> 01:25:02,920
and congratulations. Thank you.

1075
01:25:13,440 --> 01:25:15,040
Thank you very much. Thank you.

1076
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:17,260
All right,

1077
01:25:20,370 --> 01:25:25,630
next item please. Okay, your next item, item six is the presentation of

1078
01:25:25,630 --> 01:25:34,070
Resolution Recognizing May 18th through the 24th of 2025 as National Public Works Week and the time capsule opening.

1079
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:55,260
Right.

1080
01:25:56,500 --> 01:25:57,860
Colleagues, members of the public.

1081
01:25:58,100 --> 01:26:02,680
It's my honor to be at the podium this morning.

1082
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:06,580
Recognizing our public works professionals.

1083
01:26:06,580 --> 01:26:16,640
The Reso is actually declaring the week of May 18th to the 25th at 24th as National Public Works Week.

1084
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:24,600
This is a well-deserved public recognition of the women and men.

1085
01:26:25,020 --> 01:26:34,220
Our engineers, our managers, our employees, those that are actually doing some of the most important work

1086
01:26:34,220 --> 01:26:38,460
as it relates to infrastructure, infrastructure maintenance.

1087
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,720
Mr. Desmond, I'm sure you can appreciate that.

1088
01:26:43,660 --> 01:26:49,580
But it's a very wide spectrum of services and skills

1089
01:26:49,580 --> 01:26:53,840
that are applied, whether it be in the transportation space,

1090
01:26:54,020 --> 01:26:59,220
water supply, wastewater, certainly our airports that we're so proud of.

1091
01:26:59,220 --> 01:27:06,840
All of it cannot be built and maintained the way it needs to be to best serve our citizens

1092
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,680
without the people behind all of that.

1093
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:17,440
And so this is the actually the 65th Annual National Public Works Week.

1094
01:27:17,820 --> 01:27:23,440
And the theme this year is people purpose and presence, and I believe there's even a reminder

1095
01:27:23,440 --> 01:27:25,480
of that in the corner back there.

1096
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:34,400
So with that, I'm going to present the resolution and then give up the podium to hear more about what you all do.

1097
01:27:48,460 --> 01:27:49,080
Thank you.

1098
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,360
Thank you.

1099
01:27:59,570 --> 01:28:02,450
We're going to take one at the.

1100
01:28:03,770 --> 01:28:05,750
Thank you, chair, sirna.

1101
01:28:06,050 --> 01:28:14,310
Thank you members of the board and honored guests on behalf of the American Public Works Association and Sacramento County's Public Works professionals.

1102
01:28:14,310 --> 01:28:18,130
I want to thank you for this proclamation recognizing National Public Works Week.

1103
01:28:18,710 --> 01:28:23,110
My name is Claudia Wade and I'm honored to serve as the County Engineer for Sacramento County

1104
01:28:23,110 --> 01:28:27,730
and this year's president of the Sacramento Chapter of the American Public Works Association.

1105
01:28:28,830 --> 01:28:35,570
This year we're proud to celebrate APWA's 60th anniversary as the Sacramento Chapter six decades

1106
01:28:35,570 --> 01:28:38,590
of advancing public works and community service.

1107
01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:43,590
This year's National Poverty's Work Theme is People Purpose and Presence.

1108
01:28:43,930 --> 01:28:48,430
It's a powerful message and the one that truly resonates here in Sacramento County.

1109
01:28:49,850 --> 01:28:53,510
I, on behalf of APWA, I would like to give you this year's National Poverwork

1110
01:28:53,510 --> 01:28:55,650
Speak Coaster with our theme.

1111
01:29:08,460 --> 01:29:10,640
People are the heart of public works.

1112
01:29:10,780 --> 01:29:15,820
The engineers, equipment operators, analysts, inspectors, planners,

1113
01:29:15,820 --> 01:29:24,640
Support staff who keep our roads safe, our water flowing, our neighborhoods clean, and our public spaces accessible.

1114
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:41,020
In Sacramento County, these are the dedicated professionals across the transportation, water resources, airports, parks, waste management recycling, and community development who work behind the scenes, and on the front lines every day.

1115
01:29:41,020 --> 01:29:52,060
Purpose reflects the shared mission we all carry to build maintain and improve infrastructure and systems that our residents rely on every single day.

1116
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:59,960
Whether it's responding to a storm, upgrading a pump station, reviewing development plans, or ensuring ADA, etc.

1117
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,780
Hearing ADA, accessibility. The work we do is rooted in service, safety, equity, and sustainability.

1118
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:15,520
Presence speaks to the visibility and impact of public works in the lives of our community members.

1119
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:26,420
In Sacramento County, people, purpose, and presence are not just words. There are daily commitment to community, well-being, resilience, and progress.

1120
01:30:27,580 --> 01:30:40,680
I'd also like to acknowledge many public words professionals in the audience today from Department of Transportation, Department of Water Resources, regional parks, airports, waste management, recycling and community development.

1121
01:30:41,340 --> 01:30:47,100
Thank you for all you do and for being here to represent the vital work of public service.

1122
01:30:48,140 --> 01:30:53,440
To highlight the theme of People, Purpose and Presence, we'd like now to share a brief

1123
01:30:53,440 --> 01:31:00,080
video if features county Sacramento employees from across departments doing the critical work

1124
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,360
that keeps our communities moving and thriving.

1125
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:27,280
Hello, my name is Agent Luzano, we're a county water resource, we maintain storm water

1126
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:27,900
and drainage.

1127
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:32,900
My name is Rafael Paloma, and I work for Sacramento County International Air Force, and

1128
01:31:32,900 --> 01:31:36,040
I make sure that all the painting and the wrong ways

1129
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:37,460
tax-to-waste parking lots,

1130
01:31:37,580 --> 01:31:40,200
rowways are properly painted for the safety of public.

1131
01:31:40,420 --> 01:31:41,840
Hi, my name is Sean Wolff.

1132
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,140
I work on water treatment for the County Sacramento,

1133
01:31:45,420 --> 01:31:47,640
specifically Sacramento County Water Agency.

1134
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,580
Hi, I'm Julio with the County Sacramento

1135
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:54,660
and the bridge supervisor that oversees operations

1136
01:31:54,660 --> 01:31:55,920
and bridge maintenance.

1137
01:31:56,060 --> 01:31:57,820
I'm Jody Hoshgami Tanturis.

1138
01:31:57,820 --> 01:32:00,300
I'm a senior civil engineer with the Department

1139
01:32:00,300 --> 01:32:01,660
of Community Development.

1140
01:32:01,660 --> 01:32:04,740
My name is Jason, I work for regional parks.

1141
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,380
I work for Parkway as a Senior Park Maintenance Worker.

1142
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:08,960
Hi, my name is Paul Romero.

1143
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:10,760
I'm with Sacramento County.

1144
01:32:11,500 --> 01:32:12,820
I'm a Curbside Collection Operator.

1145
01:32:13,580 --> 01:32:15,860
I'm working with the county for 18 years now,

1146
01:32:16,060 --> 01:32:18,520
and I'm really proud of maintaining the wrong way.

1147
01:32:18,980 --> 01:32:21,360
My favorite part of the job is just showing up everyday

1148
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:23,720
and being able to work with a good group of people

1149
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,260
that all have light-minded goals

1150
01:32:26,260 --> 01:32:30,160
and trying to achieve something like producing water for the community.

1151
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:39,500
I've been with the county for 20 years now, been in the field for 14 years, been a supervisor for six.

1152
01:32:39,860 --> 01:32:45,460
My favorite memory of part of the job was when I first realized that we got to work the aftershock event

1153
01:32:45,460 --> 01:32:52,680
and preparing it, you know, trim and trees, cleaning the area, adding bark, just making it prepared so they can set up for the event.

1154
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:57,460
Our job makes a difference because we make sure our neighbors don't flood and we maintain our storm drain.

1155
01:32:57,460 --> 01:33:01,620
I got into this line of work to help keep our communities clean and work with the public.

1156
01:33:02,020 --> 01:33:09,540
Being able to work with constituents within our community has really exposed me to a new understanding

1157
01:33:09,540 --> 01:33:13,560
of what the term community and public good means.

1158
01:33:22,420 --> 01:33:25,300
Thank you to everyone for participating in that video.

1159
01:33:25,780 --> 01:33:29,860
I think it just exemplifies just to everyday work that's done that we don't think about.

1160
01:33:29,860 --> 01:33:42,600
So with that recognizing APWA managers of the year, this week we're also recognizing outstanding individuals that were nominated by their peers throughout the Sacramento region.

Her steady leadership is vital to ensuring safe reliable water for our communities.

1184
01:35:51,650 --> 01:35:55,070
Although these outstanding individuals will be celebrated and received their awards

1185
01:35:55,070 --> 01:35:59,690
actually tomorrow night at the American Public Works Association National Public Works

1186
01:35:59,690 --> 01:36:00,590
Week Awards banquet.

1187
01:36:00,870 --> 01:36:01,390
That was handful.

1188
01:36:02,390 --> 01:36:05,870
We felt it was important that these public service you recognize in their very

1189
01:36:05,870 --> 01:36:12,490
On behalf of Sacramento Chapter APWA, congratulations on this very well deserved award.

Sacramento County is fortunate to have you and we are proud to count you on this

Please join me in congratulating Jenny, Michael, and Carrie.

1193
01:36:33,720 --> 01:36:37,060
So now what's next is the time capsule.

1194
01:36:42,950 --> 01:36:45,510
Actually, we're going to grab a script a little bit.

1195
01:36:45,730 --> 01:36:50,690
Can someone grab the signback there, we're going to take a photo with anyone in the room

1196
01:36:50,690 --> 01:36:55,510
that is a closely associated with public works, come on down in the pit, and I want my colleagues

1197
01:36:55,510 --> 01:36:57,590
to come down, we're going to take a group photo,

1198
01:36:59,690 --> 01:37:00,770
and then we'll open the capsule.

1199
01:37:08,860 --> 01:37:10,680
Anyone involved with public works?

1200
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:13,440
That includes planning too, Todd.

1201
01:37:15,820 --> 01:37:19,600
Is it does this mean that all the bridges are not being operated?

1202
01:37:20,440 --> 01:37:21,380
No water.

1203
01:37:26,140 --> 01:37:26,760
What do you want to say?

1204
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:28,460
Thank you.

1205
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:30,200
I think I've got to get into a pit.

1206
01:37:35,340 --> 01:37:36,460
Thank you.

1207
01:37:38,380 --> 01:37:39,440
That's me, Sherry.

1208
01:37:44,340 --> 01:37:45,600
Hi, I'm Sherry.

1209
01:37:47,440 --> 01:37:48,000
Hi, I'm Sherry.

1210
01:39:15,620 --> 01:39:20,140
So, Ron, I think I'm going to take you up on the opening of it.

1211
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:29,700
So, Ron McCarrier, Department of Transportation Directors, helping unseal the time capsule.

1212
01:39:30,420 --> 01:39:35,520
Now let's take a moment to travel back to the year 2000 when Sacramento County

1213
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:39,280
celebrated National Public Works Week with a special time capsule.

1214
01:39:39,700 --> 01:39:45,480
This telly of this thing was welded shut and it took a special op steam to open it up.

1215
01:39:47,180 --> 01:39:51,740
It was a different era, Y2K, it just coming on.

1216
01:39:51,740 --> 01:39:53,760
in sync was in the charts.

1217
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:55,560
There you go.

1218
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:03,780
And GPS still required printed map quest directions.

1219
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:08,240
The capsule was sealed by a team of county staff,

1220
01:40:08,420 --> 01:40:10,140
many of whom are here with us today.

1221
01:40:10,700 --> 01:40:14,540
I'd like to acknowledge and thank a few of those original contributors.

1222
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:17,420
We have Christina Ragsdale here with us,

1223
01:40:17,460 --> 01:40:20,620
who was a public information officer for public works

1224
01:40:20,620 --> 01:40:30,500
who covered eight divisions at the time and Cheryl Creason, who was the public work

1225
01:40:30,500 --> 01:40:40,220
director or the Municipal Services Agency director, and I was told she was the first female

1226
01:40:40,220 --> 01:40:42,500
public work director, Sacramento County.

1227
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,280
Thank you for preserving a piece of our county's

1228
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:55,780
public works legacy. So let's take a look at what they left left us our tech artifacts from

1229
01:40:55,780 --> 01:41:01,320
a not so distance past that feels like ancient history in today's tech driven world.

1230
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:10,160
So the camera is...

1231
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,160
Oh, look at that flip phone.

1232
01:41:21,030 --> 01:41:23,110
Wait wait, how's dawn the totally communicating?

1233
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:36,680
A public working specter. It was stated the art Motorola flip phone once used by one of

1234
01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:42,520
inspectors. Back then, this was the peak of mobile technology. This kind of phone you flipped

1235
01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:48,980
open with a dramatic flare before saying, I'm on site. It made calls, and that was pretty much

1236
01:41:50,340 --> 01:41:50,820
it.

1237
01:41:58,510 --> 01:41:59,430
Did you recognize that?

1238
01:41:59,510 --> 01:42:00,430
Oh, am I a pompiling?

1239
01:42:00,810 --> 01:42:05,090
Pompiling. Wow. Holy smokes.

1240
01:42:10,090 --> 01:42:12,810
For those familiar, this was a handheld device that could

1241
01:42:12,810 --> 01:42:20,750
store phone numbers, and a calendar, maybe include a grocery list, basically it walks so

1242
01:42:20,750 --> 01:42:27,150
your smartphone could run. And actually, that palm pilot belonged to Christina Ragsdale.

1243
01:42:28,250 --> 01:42:30,430
So after today, you can have a back.

1244
01:42:42,630 --> 01:42:46,490
So that is a model of an automated trash fence.

1245
01:42:50,030 --> 01:42:55,430
It's a replica of the standard single-can system used by waste management in 2000. Hard to imagine,

1246
01:42:55,430 --> 01:42:57,890
and now with our three been sorting system,

1247
01:42:58,170 --> 01:43:02,130
a food waste composting and the ever-changing recycling rules.

1248
01:43:02,390 --> 01:43:05,410
This little guy reminds us of a simpler time

1249
01:43:05,410 --> 01:43:07,910
and fewer color-coded selections.

1250
01:43:18,460 --> 01:43:20,760
This is a lot of avidubridge.

1251
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:28,180
This is an aerial of what it looked like in the 60s,

1252
01:43:33,070 --> 01:43:35,230
and then we have a rendering of what it was supposed

1253
01:43:35,230 --> 01:43:36,830
to look like the ultimate configuration.

1254
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:44,160
What's remarkable, what's remarkable

1255
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:49,280
have the rendering from 25 years ago, looks nearly identical to the complete bridge today.

1256
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:57,440
A rare case where As Bill really did match as envisioned, proof that long-term planning and

1257
01:43:57,440 --> 01:44:02,720
public works pays off. And actually I was just told today that it was the first project,

1258
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:08,000
first project the county featured on a website. It was the first in the region to do so.

1259
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:11,960
Wow. The fifth is...

1260
01:44:20,480 --> 01:44:21,920
The background studio.

1261
01:44:22,820 --> 01:44:24,080
Oh wow.

1262
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:25,680
Dead terminal A?

1263
01:44:25,820 --> 01:44:26,660
Yes it is.

1264
01:44:26,740 --> 01:44:27,360
Holy smokes.

1265
01:44:31,030 --> 01:44:34,470
So it's a grand opening publication for terminal A.

1266
01:44:34,770 --> 01:44:40,970
When Sacramento officially upgraded from a quaint regional stop to please arrive 90 minutes early.

1267
01:44:43,330 --> 01:44:48,490
A reminder that great public works doesn't just get you from point eight to

1268
01:44:48,490 --> 01:44:52,130
be, sometimes they can help you catch your flight there.

1269
01:44:52,590 --> 01:44:52,870
Nice.

1270
01:44:55,010 --> 01:44:55,790
In the last item.

1271
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,120
And such, I'll share with all the public workstrik, all the directors afterwards.

1272
01:45:13,290 --> 01:45:15,110
The clouds parted in the angel sang.

1273
01:45:17,010 --> 01:45:22,510
In finally, that was a 2000-water form agreement, a landmark collaboration among diverse stakeholders,

1274
01:45:23,030 --> 01:45:27,950
including water purveurs, environmentalist businesses, community leaders. This agreement

1275
01:45:27,950 --> 01:45:32,590
marked a shift towards integrated sustainable water management in Sacramento, balancing the

1276
01:45:32,590 --> 01:45:38,210
is need for a liable water supply while protecting the lower American rivers environment for years

1277
01:45:38,210 --> 01:45:45,070
to come. These items show us how far we've come in technology, system, and strategy. And

1278
01:45:45,070 --> 01:45:50,650
they're a great reminder that we work that the work we do today may one day become someone else's

1279
01:45:50,650 --> 01:45:57,250
legacy. As I close, I want to thank you, our Board of Supervisors, for you support of the people

1280
01:45:57,250 --> 01:46:00,370
and the departments who keep Sacramento County running.

1281
01:46:01,090 --> 01:46:05,790
National Public Works Week reminds us that it takes a village, dedicated staff, visionary

1282
01:46:05,790 --> 01:46:09,090
leadership, and the support of our community to build a better future.

1283
01:46:10,150 --> 01:46:10,490
Thank you.

1284
01:46:10,710 --> 01:46:11,190
Thanks, Claudia.

1285
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:18,220
Do a advisor does.

1286
01:46:19,580 --> 01:46:21,580
Claudia, thanks for the presentation.

1287
01:46:22,900 --> 01:46:26,540
I just want to thank all the public's works professionals in Sacramento County.

1288
01:46:26,540 --> 01:46:34,100
You know, it is whether it's say cog or seesac, people are really amazed by how large

1289
01:46:34,100 --> 01:46:39,560
Sacramento County's staff is, because we have such a huge public works responsibility,

1290
01:46:39,720 --> 01:46:45,760
such a huge municipal services responsibility, and I am so proud of everybody who works

1291
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:50,360
for the county, and where I interact with them, whether that's waste management or DOT,

1292
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:57,620
or airports, or community development, or water resources, I would stack our public work staff

1293
01:46:57,620 --> 01:47:02,840
up against the staff in any city or special district in this region or in the state.

1294
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:07,260
They do tremendous work serving the residents of Sacramento County and I want to thank you

1295
01:47:07,260 --> 01:47:14,500
and thank everybody who serves Sacramento County. I would offer the same challenge except my

1296
01:47:14,500 --> 01:47:17,140
Life is a CBO for West Sacramento, so.

1297
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:20,720
Supervisor Rodriguez.

1298
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:26,000
On that same note, I want to thank you for all the work that you do.

1299
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:31,420
When I was with the City of Fulton, I hung out quite a bit with our public works team,

1300
01:47:32,020 --> 01:47:36,360
because it's so extensive and it's so big, and the work that you do is so important

1301
01:47:36,880 --> 01:47:41,540
to our county, and so I just want to give a thank you, big thank you for all the work

1302
01:47:41,540 --> 01:47:42,140
that you do.

1303
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:43,600
Thank you.

1304
01:47:44,220 --> 01:47:45,480
Mr. County executive.

1305
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:46,440
Thank you, supervisor.

1306
01:47:46,820 --> 01:47:49,520
I just want to thank Claudia for bringing this to our attention.

1307
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:55,060
The public works week is a great thing, but we have such fantastic employees throughout our organization,

1308
01:47:55,760 --> 01:48:00,180
especially in the public works area and the great work that they do, whether it's on the bridges, or collecting waste,

1309
01:48:00,500 --> 01:48:04,920
or all the different things that are included in, for the most part, Dave DeFont Day's agency.

1310
01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:07,080
And the great work that they do.

1311
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:13,320
The funny thing on the time capsule was, I think we lost it there for a little while.

1312
01:48:13,440 --> 01:48:16,960
We didn't realize it was on the third floor for so long.

1313
01:48:17,260 --> 01:48:22,780
It's set there for 25 years and right in the area where everybody had lunch and we just kind of lost the side of it.

1314
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:26,100
So we hopefully will do it again in 25 years.

1315
01:48:26,220 --> 01:48:31,520
Maybe we'll have a host of folks coming up and have Mr. Defonte, maybe sitting in the audience watching us.

1316
01:48:34,730 --> 01:48:36,790
Very good. Thanks for getting Claudia.

1317
01:48:39,210 --> 01:48:44,550
Mr. Chair, they're going to put the other podium back if we can have a few seconds.

1318
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:00,900
All this time, I didn't even know that thing moved.

1319
01:49:20,090 --> 01:49:21,130
Next item.

1320
01:49:22,370 --> 01:49:24,330
I'm going to read item 38 into the record.

1321
01:49:24,350 --> 01:49:29,430
This is to adopt a resolution establishing a community planning advisory council for the

1322
01:49:29,430 --> 01:49:35,430
Farm's community and amending the Community Planning Advisory Council consolidated bylaws to include

1323
01:49:35,430 --> 01:49:40,310
the newly formed Foothill Farm's Community Planning Advisory Council and to appoint members

1324
01:49:40,310 --> 01:49:45,910
to the Foothill Farm's Community Planning Advisory Council. I just want to introduce this item

1325
01:49:45,910 --> 01:49:51,470
just to give a shout out to everyone who played a role in this. We worked really closely with

1326
01:49:51,470 --> 01:49:57,190
supervisor Desmond's Office to bring this recommendation down to the Board to adopt a new

1327
01:49:57,190 --> 01:50:02,690
seepac in the foothill community and I want to give a shout out to Alma Munoz, who used

1328
01:50:02,690 --> 01:50:09,230
to work for our office. Now she works for our chair. He's stole her. But Alma did take the

1329
01:50:09,230 --> 01:50:14,030
lead on this and she worked really closely with your staff, supervisor Desmond, and met

1330
01:50:14,030 --> 01:50:18,390
with all of the seepac's works very closely with the planning environmental review staff,

1331
01:50:18,930 --> 01:50:25,050
and then Nicole took the lead from there once used to Alma and she took it down to the planning

1332
01:50:25,050 --> 01:50:27,850
commission and now we're here before you with the recommendation.

1333
01:50:28,550 --> 01:50:33,270
So I wanted to introduce Nicole Lee who is our assistant clerk and who will give the presentation.

1334
01:50:33,770 --> 01:50:34,530
All right, very good.

1335
01:50:34,550 --> 01:50:35,550
Thank you.

1336
01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:39,960
Good morning, board members.

1337
01:50:40,140 --> 01:50:42,640
It's a pleasure and an honor to be here before you this morning.

1338
01:50:43,220 --> 01:50:44,440
As for mentioned, I'm Nicole.

1339
01:50:44,580 --> 01:50:47,360
I know most of you and assistant clerk of the Board of Supervisors.

1340
01:50:47,840 --> 01:50:53,200
And I'm here today to discuss the establishment of the federal farms community planning advisory council.

1341
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:57,260
otherwise known as CPAC, which I'll use for the remainder of this presentation.

1342
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:03,540
And so currently the Flet Hill Farms community is split between two different CPACs.

1343
01:51:04,100 --> 01:51:08,280
It's split between the North Highlands and what they call new Flet Hill Farms is I'm learning

1344
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:13,200
and then the U, I'm supposed to use this, so please forgive me, I need to other people doing this.

1345
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:20,160
And the Carmichael community and is combined with the old Flet Hill Farms community.

1346
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:27,040
And so around the fall of 2023, Supervisor Desmond was approached at various, and it's

1347
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:33,380
to happen, various events and community meetings with a desire from that Flet Hill Farms

1348
01:51:33,380 --> 01:51:41,420
community to establish their own CPAC to provide a real more dedicated platform to voice

1349
01:51:41,420 --> 01:51:47,940
their concerns concerning planning projects that occurred within the Flet Hill Farms community.

1350
01:51:47,940 --> 01:51:53,520
a more comprehensive approach as opposed to being split between the two different CPACs.

1351
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:59,940
And so following those discussions with Supervisor Despin, our office just began to look

1352
01:51:59,940 --> 01:52:05,740
at the process and the possibility of establishing foothill farms CPAC for that community.

1353
01:52:06,540 --> 01:52:11,120
So currently there are 14 CPACs spread all around Sacramento County as you all know.

1354
01:52:11,340 --> 01:52:14,900
That represent the unincorporated communities within Sacramento County.

1355
01:52:14,900 --> 01:52:23,160
this CPACSHAGE award approved this recommendation today would be the 15th and chapter 2.36 of Sacramento County code.

1356
01:52:23,440 --> 01:52:30,200
It provides that the Board of Supervisors by Resolution may establish a CPACS which is why we are here today.

1357
01:52:31,900 --> 01:52:42,440
And so I have some maps just for you to take a look at and just on the recommendation of District 3 we've proposed some maps and new boundaries for the FIT Hill Farm CPACS.

1358
01:52:42,440 --> 01:52:48,040
If you look on this map in what you see in the middle in that pink area is what we are

1359
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:53,520
recommending as the foothill farm CPAC area and it's flanked on the left-hand side with

1360
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:58,040
the North Highland CPAC and then on the bottom right-hand side that Carmichael CPAC.

1361
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:02,920
If you see that red line right through the middle of what we're recommending as the foothill

1362
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:08,420
farm CPAC, that was the delineator that used to be a house foothill farms was split.

1363
01:53:08,420 --> 01:53:15,580
So the partial portion on the left-hand side of the foothill farm CPAC was part of North

1364
01:53:15,580 --> 01:53:20,080
Highlands, and the portion on the right-hand side was part of the Carmichael CPAC.

1365
01:53:20,300 --> 01:53:24,240
And so we are recommending just to put that together, make it one full CPAC.

1366
01:53:24,780 --> 01:53:29,240
And so then here you can just see a better idea of what North Highlands will be with these

1367
01:53:29,240 --> 01:53:29,800
new boundaries.

1368
01:53:30,020 --> 01:53:33,280
It's just the removal of that foothill farm's community from there.

1369
01:53:33,680 --> 01:53:37,720
And then on the next map, it's the removal again of that foothill farm's area.

1370
01:53:37,720 --> 01:53:42,780
and then for Carmichael and making that, and then of course, our proposed and I know this

1371
01:53:42,780 --> 01:53:49,360
is so large that you can see them all, but this is all 15 CPACs that is adding in

1372
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:53,780
out the very, very top of that by the number three that district three, you'll see that

1373
01:53:53,780 --> 01:53:59,280
Flet Hill Farm's community with all 15 of those CPACs on there.

1374
01:53:59,900 --> 01:54:06,140
And so we did as part of this process visit the advisory bodies that would be affected by this

1375
01:54:06,140 --> 01:54:06,520
change.

1376
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:12,780
So, we went to the North Highlands, so it Hill Farm CPAC on April 23rd of 2024, and that was

1377
01:54:12,780 --> 01:54:13,900
generally just a discussion.

1378
01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:18,540
They did not have a quorum that day, and so they did not take a vote and pass forward any

1379
01:54:18,540 --> 01:54:19,320
recommendations.

1380
01:54:20,160 --> 01:54:25,200
On May 8th, 2024, we went to Carmichael, so it Hill Farm's, and they did recommend unanimously

1381
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:29,220
that this board approved the establishment of the Flet Hill Farm CPAC.

1382
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:34,660
We went back to North Highlands, Flet Hill Farm's on September 24th, 2024.

1383
01:54:34,660 --> 01:54:48,860
They did, they were able to vote to, yes, to abstain, but did not pass forward a recommendation to this board and then subsequent to that the planning commission on April 14 who did vote unanimously for this board to approve the recommendations.

1384
01:54:49,580 --> 01:55:01,860
Some of the North Highland CPAC members did have questions and concerns regarding the member distribution and recruitment efforts when we met with them and district three staff was on hand to be able to answer those questions for them.

1385
01:55:01,860 --> 01:55:06,860
And then throughout the process, we have received one public comment in favor of the proposal

1386
01:55:07,460 --> 01:55:09,080
for this item.

1387
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:16,940
And so I want to talk a little bit about the composition of the CPAC.

1388
01:55:17,540 --> 01:55:22,780
So what we are proposing for the Fidel Farm CPAC, that entire area's district three, so

1389
01:55:22,780 --> 01:55:26,780
all seven seats for that CPAC, will remain in district three.

1390
01:55:26,780 --> 01:55:33,240
North Highlands is the most affected when we remove the foothill farms community from North Highlands.

1391
01:55:33,740 --> 01:55:37,440
It took that district three distribution out a little bit.

1392
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:39,800
So a nice little hefty chunk of it.

1393
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:44,800
So we are recommending a change to that CPAC distribution between the Supervisorial Districts.

1394
01:55:45,140 --> 01:55:50,120
So we are recommending that district one picks up an additional seat so they'll have two seats.

1395
01:55:50,300 --> 01:55:53,940
District three will give up two of their seats and they will have one seat.

1396
01:55:53,940 --> 01:55:59,460
District 4 will obtain a new seat and they will have four seats and then the

1397
01:55:59,460 --> 01:56:03,760
Carmichael CPAC there is no change to that. All of that was already all in

1398
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:08,960
District 3 so all seats will remain in District 3. So I want to talk a little

1399
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:13,380
bit about the implementation plan. Should your board decide to approve this

1400
01:56:13,380 --> 01:56:18,740
recommendation. There are currently our three members that are sitting on the

1401
01:56:18,740 --> 01:56:22,340
the North Highlands Foothill Farms CPAC.

1402
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:27,420
Those members currently reside within the Foothill Farms community, and so with the

1403
01:56:27,420 --> 01:56:32,940
amendment of the boundaries of the North Highlands CPAC, they would no longer be eligible

1404
01:56:32,940 --> 01:56:33,640
to serve.

1405
01:56:33,900 --> 01:56:39,060
It's the recommendation of our office today that part of this establishment of the CPAC is

1406
01:56:39,060 --> 01:56:45,000
that those members be appointed to terms as initial members to this CPAC, of course, subject

1407
01:56:45,000 --> 01:56:47,780
to the bylaws and what those terms look like.

1408
01:56:47,780 --> 01:56:52,860
And then following our subsequent to the approval of this Board for the establishment of the

1409
01:56:52,860 --> 01:56:56,700
CPAC, our office will announce the four remaining positions.

1410
01:56:57,820 --> 01:57:02,160
I will say that we have received one application already, and for that Board,

1411
01:57:02,340 --> 01:57:05,780
I have received increased interest.

1412
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:11,760
There we go. Thank you. Thank you.

1413
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:16,340
The increased interest for the Ethel Hill Farm's community, thank you to District 3 for getting

1414
01:57:16,340 --> 01:57:21,160
the word out and the current foothill farms community for getting that word out in their

1415
01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:23,060
community meetings as well for that.

1416
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:27,820
And should we receive any applications, we'll bring them back forward for a nomination and

1417
01:57:27,820 --> 01:57:32,020
appointment at the meeting of June 9th, or June 10th, 5 Apologies.

1418
01:57:32,620 --> 01:57:37,000
And so we have established a foothill farm CPAC implementation work group, and that's just

1419
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:42,020
work through all of the different components to ensure that this CPAC can hit the ground

1420
01:57:42,020 --> 01:57:47,500
and running. There are 12 projects that are currently targeting that area and so it's important

1421
01:57:47,500 --> 01:57:53,440
that we are ready to go for this CPAC. There's two projects currently that should they be

1422
01:57:53,440 --> 01:58:00,100
deemed complete today. They would be ready to see a seat go before a CPAC sometime July or August.

1423
01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:06,360
And so we have found a location to have these meeting should your board approve these and so

1424
01:58:06,360 --> 01:58:12,680
are targeting our first meeting for that CPAC and either mid-June or mid-July for that CPAC.

1425
01:58:14,060 --> 01:58:15,600
So, that brings us to our recommendation.

1426
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:20,700
So, the Clerk of the Board staff on behalf of Supervisorial District 3 recommends that the Board

1427
01:58:20,700 --> 01:58:25,360
of Supervisors today take the following action to adopt a resolution establishing the

1428
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:30,440
Fatile Farm CPAC and amending the common set of CPAC by laws that will include the

1429
01:58:30,440 --> 01:58:35,360
Fatile Farm CPAC as well as amending the boundaries of North Highlands and Carmichael

1430
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:40,140
CPAC and then acknowledge the exempt status of this request and then appoint those three members

1431
01:58:40,140 --> 01:58:44,920
for an initial term subject to the bylaws and so I just want to thank you for your time

1432
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:50,620
and consideration and I am available as long as along with some planning staff and supervisor

1433
01:58:50,620 --> 01:58:54,400
Desmond answering the question that you may have this morning.

1434
01:58:55,000 --> 01:59:00,520
Very good thank you Nicole before we get to supervisors Desmond and Kennedy who are in the queue.

1435
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:06,780
I just want to offer my thanks to you, specifically, Nicole, the Clerk of the Board's Office.

1436
01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:16,800
As usual, very thoughtful way of looking at how we were going to make this happen,

1437
01:59:17,540 --> 01:59:19,840
and it's obviously in your presentations for a thorough.

1438
01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:25,800
I also want to make sure that, as you mentioned earlier,

1439
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:46,260
Madam Clerk, thank my chief of staff, Alma Munoz, who I know is watching, she helped educate me on a few of the different facets involved with the new geography and the addition of the CPAC, so thanks to her and thanks to you all, and with that, we'll go do supervisor Desmond first.

1440
01:59:47,220 --> 01:59:54,960
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'll start with thanks as well in the call. I know the staff hates to see her here about a hair-brained idea from one of the supervisors.

1441
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:59,960
causes a lot of work and I know that at various times a lot of us are sources of that but I

1442
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:06,060
Probably more than others these days, so thank you for all of your work and almost work in your work flow.

1443
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:10,280
And great job on the presentation, too, by the way. It's good to see you up there at the podium.

1444
02:00:11,940 --> 02:00:15,380
I appreciate the opportunity to hear this and bring this forward.

1445
02:00:15,460 --> 02:00:21,580
You know, this is really something that was driven by the community. It came up to me shortly after I took office.

1446
02:00:21,580 --> 02:00:33,260
Foothill Farms is a very distinct community, two zip codes, it's a census designated place and a very strong sense of identity in that community.

1447
02:00:33,940 --> 02:00:42,420
And I remember when I was a member of the Carmichael Old Foothill Farm CPAC myself, there was even discussion back then by the Foothill Farm's representative wire.

1448
02:00:42,420 --> 02:00:44,820
we, why are we always kind of the afterthought

1449
02:00:44,820 --> 02:00:46,500
we're attached to another seat back?

1450
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:48,180
Why can't we have our own?

1451
02:00:48,420 --> 02:00:51,160
It's a community of almost 40,000 people.

1452
02:00:52,200 --> 02:00:55,620
And like I mentioned, very passionate about the community,

1453
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:57,180
very distinct sense of identity.

1454
02:00:57,820 --> 02:01:00,280
And I think that's one of the inherent challenges

1455
02:01:00,280 --> 02:01:03,620
of these large, unincorporated areas, right?

1456
02:01:03,700 --> 02:01:06,420
They're not part of a city that kind of stand on their own.

1457
02:01:06,580 --> 02:01:08,920
We all know, we've heard over the decades,

1458
02:01:09,820 --> 02:01:12,140
the criticisms about the county,

1459
02:01:12,140 --> 02:01:17,580
really overlooking these communities and not having the same intentionality as they may have if

1460
02:01:17,580 --> 02:01:24,040
it's a city. And in my opinion, this is an effort to kind of counteract that to acknowledge

1461
02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:28,800
to the residents and footile farms that, you know, we really, we see you. We know it's important

1462
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:34,240
that you have your own sense of identity. And I want to make sure that this is not, I know it's

1463
02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:39,320
kind of ironic that we're having this discussion at the same time are some of our community

1464
02:01:39,320 --> 02:01:47,540
development review processes are looking at ways, frankly, to either streamline the approval

1465
02:01:47,540 --> 02:01:51,940
of housing projects, and maybe even bypass, CPACs, and certain circumstances, and I support

1466
02:01:51,940 --> 02:01:52,220
those.

1467
02:01:52,220 --> 02:01:58,680
This is not, in my opinion, any effort to prevent that from happening, but it is really

1468
02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:06,940
a way to, I think, empower folks in that community and make them more proud to have their own

1469
02:02:06,940 --> 02:02:07,440
CPAC.

1470
02:02:07,440 --> 02:02:13,700
You know, there's no p-bid in foothill farms, there's an a strong chamber involvement in foothill farms.

1471
02:02:14,140 --> 02:02:21,240
This will be an entity, I think, that that provides an opportunity for the community to be more engaged, more involved in the community.

1472
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:27,100
So, I thank you for the presentation. I'm very happy to move approval this today.

1473
02:02:27,140 --> 02:02:32,100
I actually have a foothill farms neighborhood association meeting tonight, and I would like nothing more than to be able to do announced.

1474
02:02:32,100 --> 02:02:36,980
Our support at that and so that Mr. Chair, I know there's more comments, but I would move approval.

1475
02:02:37,240 --> 02:02:37,840
I'll second.

1476
02:02:38,960 --> 02:02:39,980
Your advisor, Kennedy.

1477
02:02:41,300 --> 02:02:41,900
Thank you.

1478
02:02:42,180 --> 02:02:43,020
And thank you, sir.

1479
02:02:43,020 --> 02:02:45,580
Professor Desmond, for putting me in a very uncomfortable position.

1480
02:02:47,820 --> 02:02:54,720
In the, you know, I completely, for all of the reasons you said, you know, I applaud your efforts in doing this.

1481
02:02:54,740 --> 02:02:55,880
And I congratulate you.

1482
02:02:56,140 --> 02:02:58,420
I'm getting it over the fish and lying on it since I'm easy.

1483
02:02:59,140 --> 02:03:06,560
I won't be supporting it, not as any, that I have any issue with the people of Foothill

1484
02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:12,360
Farms and their ideas of self-governance or my colleague and him representing his district.

1485
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:17,440
I love to get involved with very district-centered issues.

1486
02:03:18,240 --> 02:03:21,660
However, I feel like it's important that I remain consistent.

1487
02:03:21,660 --> 02:03:29,600
You know, years ago, I had an effort, I had an effort along with Supervisor Peters at the

1488
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:38,260
time to decrease the number of CPACs because I don't think that a greater number of CPACs

1489
02:03:38,260 --> 02:03:45,120
is going to be conducive to addressing our housing crisis that we see in Sacramento County.

1490
02:03:45,300 --> 02:03:50,380
In fact, I think it in many times for a variety of reasons slows the process down.

1491
02:03:50,380 --> 02:04:00,380
So just in order to remain consistent with that position, and I will not be supporting it at this time, I'm sorry to say that.

1492
02:04:04,770 --> 02:04:06,490
Any other comments or questions?

1493
02:04:07,030 --> 02:04:09,350
Seeing none, Maverick, do we have any one time to speak on this map?

1494
02:04:10,030 --> 02:04:10,690
Yes, we do.

1495
02:04:10,830 --> 02:04:11,330
I mean, clear that.

1496
02:04:11,450 --> 02:04:14,410
Yes, we do have one person signed up to speak.

1497
02:04:15,330 --> 02:04:16,290
Diane Kiefer?

1498
02:04:30,750 --> 02:04:31,810
Good afternoon, Lord.

1499
02:04:31,810 --> 02:04:38,430
My name is Diane Kiefer. I am a resident of Old Foothill Farms. I'm also the Vice President

1500
02:04:38,430 --> 02:04:48,870
of Foothill Farms Association. I am here to speak and support agenda item 38 establishing

1501
02:04:48,870 --> 02:04:58,170
a dedicated community planning association or advisory committee as known as CPAT for

1502
02:04:58,170 --> 02:05:04,870
health harms. Currently, our, as you have heard, our community is split between two different

1503
02:05:04,870 --> 02:05:11,450
CPACs, all-foot-hill farms on Carmichael, new-foot-hill farms and North Highlands. This

1504
02:05:11,450 --> 02:05:19,970
structure delutes our input and pairs with, as it pairs us with the communities that have

1505
02:05:19,970 --> 02:05:27,930
different priorities and needs. A dedicated CPAC will ensure decisions are made by residents

1506
02:05:27,930 --> 02:05:30,950
who actually live in the area.

1507
02:05:31,830 --> 02:05:37,290
It will restore public trust in the advisory process and ensure that the feedback reflects

1508
02:05:37,290 --> 02:05:39,310
the real concerns of our community.

1509
02:05:40,250 --> 02:05:47,370
As you have already heard, the unincorporated area, we do not have a city council or other

1510
02:05:47,370 --> 02:05:49,170
local governing body.

1511
02:05:50,190 --> 02:05:56,250
The CPAC is one of the only platforms that we have to participate in decisions about development,

1512
02:05:56,250 --> 02:06:06,190
zoning and land use. I respectfully ask that you vote yes on agenda item 38. Help us establish

1513
02:06:06,190 --> 02:06:13,690
a CPAC that truly represents foothill farms allowing our community to be heard. Thank you.

1514
02:06:13,730 --> 02:06:15,070
Thank you, Ms. Keeper.

1515
02:06:16,640 --> 02:06:16,980
Thank you.

1516
02:06:17,020 --> 02:06:17,140
Thank you.

1517
02:06:17,140 --> 02:06:17,160
Thank you.

1518
02:06:17,160 --> 02:06:17,180
Thank you.

1519
02:06:29,290 --> 02:06:30,890
Thank you.

1520
02:06:30,890 --> 02:06:37,870
It's lit. Yes. Oh, okay. It's for some reason. It's not showing up and then do it again. There we go. Okay. Thank you.

1521
02:06:38,230 --> 02:06:43,970
And the motion carries with supervisor Kennedy voting against this item and let the record reflect that supervisor.

1522
02:06:44,230 --> 02:06:47,430
Human is not present. Congratulations.

1523
02:06:53,710 --> 02:06:54,230
All

1524
02:06:57,680 --> 02:06:58,880
right. Next item, please.

1525
02:06:59,940 --> 02:07:04,080
And then for our next item, item 39, we grab my glasses.

1526
02:07:04,080 --> 02:07:09,480
It's County Service Area number one zone, one public hearing on the benefit category change and

1527
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:12,680
levier of increased service charge for the Blossom Ridge subdivision.

1528
02:07:14,260 --> 02:07:18,820
Hello, something I haven't said before. Good afternoon. Members of the board, I'm

1529
02:07:18,820 --> 02:07:24,380
Don Pymontel with County Engineering. The Blossom Ridge subdivision is located on the west side

1530
02:07:24,380 --> 02:07:30,180
of Filbert Avenue, approximately 650 feet north of Greenback Lane. In consists of 32 single

1531
02:07:30,180 --> 02:07:34,280
I have a lot of drainage basin, parcel, and associated site improvements.

1532
02:07:35,300 --> 02:07:39,840
The project was approved with the General Planning Improvement, General Plan Amendment, Community

1533
02:07:39,840 --> 02:07:46,400
Plan Amendment, Reson, Subvision, Tennative Map, Special Development Permit, Title 22, Exception,

1534
02:07:46,700 --> 02:07:50,140
and Design Review on August 8th, 2023.

1535
02:07:51,260 --> 02:07:55,640
In response to the project's condition of approval required prior to filing a final map,

1536
02:07:55,640 --> 02:08:05,540
The project's proponents submitted in application requesting the initiate an initiation of the benefit category change process.

1537
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:14,580
In response to that request, a notice and proposition to 18 protest ballot was mailed to the property owner on April 4, 2025.

1538
02:08:14,580 --> 02:08:20,340
Currently, the project is a single parcel in the safety light only category and is assessed

1539
02:08:20,340 --> 02:08:22,220
$2.56 annually.

1540
02:08:22,820 --> 02:08:27,260
After the benefit category change, the enhanced street and safety categories.

1541
02:08:28,040 --> 02:08:35,720
The increased annual service charge will approximately be $2,062.50 total for the 33 residential

1542
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:39,100
parcels since the drainage parcel is considered residential.

1543
02:08:39,920 --> 02:08:43,840
If there are no questions from the board, we recommend the board open the public hearing,

1544
02:08:43,840 --> 02:08:49,300
consider written in oral testimonies. Any objections and protests and close the public hearing

1545
02:08:49,300 --> 02:08:56,000
then direct the board clerk to tabulate the return to protest ballot. Very good. Any questions

1546
02:08:56,000 --> 02:09:00,380
of staff? Okay, seeing none. I will open the public hearing. Madam Clerk, do we have any one

1547
02:09:00,380 --> 02:09:06,300
time? We do not have any public hearing ask you to tabulate. And I will do that now.

1548
02:09:11,720 --> 02:09:12,240
So the court

1549
02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:13,700
received one ballot

1550
02:09:15,850 --> 02:09:23,850
and the legal owner is Blossom Ridge 32 LLC, parcel number 223-0091-002.

1551
02:09:24,270 --> 02:09:31,430
Site address is 6331, Philbert Avenue, Orangeville, California, and they are in favor of the proposed benefit category.

1552
02:09:33,150 --> 02:09:38,770
Thank you. Since there is no majority protest, we request to the board adopt the Attat Resolution

1553
02:09:38,770 --> 02:09:43,290
to confirm the levy increase service charges for the Blossom Ridge subdivision.

1554
02:09:43,290 --> 02:09:48,370
And I would like to read in the records, fillings, for the resolution.

1555
02:09:50,130 --> 02:09:53,910
In section two, at the close of the hearing, the board received zero written protests.

1556
02:09:54,510 --> 02:09:58,810
In section three, at the close of the tabulation, the board received one protest ballot,

1557
02:09:59,010 --> 02:10:05,250
totaling 100 percent of the total amount to be levied of which 100 percent was in favor of

1558
02:10:05,250 --> 02:10:08,130
change of the benefit category in zero was in opposition.

1559
02:10:11,250 --> 02:10:11,550
That's it.

1560
02:10:11,630 --> 02:10:12,450
All right, very good.

1561
02:10:12,470 --> 02:10:13,210
Thank you.

1562
02:10:14,130 --> 02:10:17,730
We don't have any public speakers at the public hearing is closed.

1563
02:10:18,790 --> 02:10:20,270
I would entertain a motion of this.

1564
02:10:20,270 --> 02:10:23,830
I will go ahead and move to approve the recommended action.

1565
02:10:24,670 --> 02:10:25,650
It's been moved in a second.

1566
02:10:25,770 --> 02:10:26,770
Please vote.

1567
02:10:28,200 --> 02:10:30,300
You now miss vote with those members present.

1568
02:10:30,940 --> 02:10:31,080
All right.

1569
02:10:31,200 --> 02:10:31,700
Very good.

1570
02:10:32,080 --> 02:10:37,940
Before we break, I just want to thank the clerk and her staff.

1571
02:10:37,940 --> 02:10:44,440
for again, I think finally putting the dot on the eye and crossing the T on how we're going to

1572
02:10:44,440 --> 02:10:51,560
best manage our time. I would have us all know the clock tells us we're, I think, more

1573
02:10:51,560 --> 02:10:55,720
less right on time. So I think it's going well. I want to thank you for all of your work.

1574
02:10:55,860 --> 02:11:01,100
Thank you, Nikola. The chief, chief seats there. Thank you. We do not have a close session.

1575
02:11:01,820 --> 02:11:04,200
And we are in recess until two o'clock.

1576
02:11:19,620 --> 02:11:25,540
Okay, I'd like to call back to order this meeting of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors for Tuesday May 20, 2025.

1577
02:11:25,820 --> 02:11:28,960
Madam Clerk, will you please call the roll and establish a quorum?

1578
02:11:29,320 --> 02:11:30,660
Yes, good afternoon.

1579
02:11:31,040 --> 02:11:32,020
Supervisors, Kennedy.

1580
02:11:32,180 --> 02:11:32,400
Air.

1581
02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:33,060
Desmond.

1582
02:11:33,480 --> 02:11:33,780
Rodriguez.

1583
02:11:34,180 --> 02:11:34,700
Here, Serna.

1584
02:11:34,920 --> 02:11:35,080
Here.

1585
02:11:35,420 --> 02:11:36,320
And you have a quorum.

1586
02:11:36,580 --> 02:11:36,820
Very good.

1587
02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:38,300
Thank you.

1588
02:11:38,460 --> 02:11:39,020
First item.

1589
02:11:39,600 --> 02:11:42,780
Item 40 is the floodplain management ordinance amendment.

1590
02:11:43,100 --> 02:11:46,220
A zoning ordinance to amend the floodplain management ordinance.

1591
02:11:46,400 --> 02:11:48,800
A standalone component of the zoning code.

1592
02:11:48,800 --> 02:11:52,980
And the environmental determination is a notice of exemption.

1593
02:11:55,820 --> 02:11:58,300
Are we keeping the video rolling?

1594
02:12:01,700 --> 02:12:04,030
There we go.

1595
02:12:04,710 --> 02:12:04,930
Good afternoon.

1596
02:12:05,150 --> 02:12:05,730
Good afternoon.

1597
02:12:06,110 --> 02:12:07,510
Chair Sarah members of the board.

1598
02:12:08,050 --> 02:12:08,590
I'm Kim Sioux.

1599
02:12:08,710 --> 02:12:10,750
Seeing you engineer with the Department of Water Resources.

1600
02:12:11,450 --> 02:12:17,630
We presenting on proposed amendments to the fluffy management ordinance, which is a standalone component of the zoning code.

1601
02:12:20,080 --> 02:12:22,220
Following a recent theme a review of this ordinance,

1602
02:12:22,220 --> 02:12:25,780
amendments were identified to remain consistent with federal standards.

1603
02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:32,640
I've listed some of the amendments here, but I'll go over them more shortly.

1604
02:12:35,730 --> 02:12:38,310
First, I wanted to provide a little background on why this is important.

1605
02:12:38,810 --> 02:12:42,070
Sacramento County participates in FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program

1606
02:12:42,070 --> 02:12:44,130
or NFIP in short.

1607
02:12:44,770 --> 02:12:54,250
The NFIP allows participating communities access to

1608
02:12:54,250 --> 02:12:56,450
in this flood insurance program.

1609
02:12:57,230 --> 02:13:00,550
These proposed amendments will satisfy FEMA's comments.

1610
02:13:09,070 --> 02:13:15,310
The primary proposed amendments include the top one was 902-16,

1611
02:13:15,570 --> 02:13:17,770
it clarifies the definition of a developed area.

1612
02:13:18,370 --> 02:13:22,650
And the following three is 906-04F, 906-02,

1613
02:13:22,810 --> 02:13:24,510
and 906-07C.

1614
02:13:24,830 --> 02:13:27,730
All three of these clarify minimum elevation requirements

1615
02:13:27,730 --> 02:13:31,010
for new and substantially improved structures.

1616
02:13:31,010 --> 02:13:35,370
and this is to remain consistent with residential elevation requirements.

1617
02:13:40,740 --> 02:13:43,620
Effective CPACs were offered an opportunity here at present in the presentation.

1618
02:13:44,340 --> 02:13:49,980
Three councils requested presentations and they were all supportive of the amendments

1619
02:13:49,980 --> 02:13:52,740
with only clarifying questions being asked.

1620
02:13:58,180 --> 02:14:00,320
The Planning Commission has made the following recommendations.

1621
02:14:01,080 --> 02:14:05,620
Determined the notice of exemption is adequate and complete and approved the ordinance

1622
02:14:05,620 --> 02:14:07,560
planning the floodplain management ordinance,

1623
02:14:07,660 --> 02:14:09,820
stand alone component of the zoning code.

1624
02:14:12,410 --> 02:14:13,690
And that's all I have for you today,

1625
02:14:14,110 --> 02:14:15,550
and I can take any questions.

1626
02:14:16,170 --> 02:14:17,010
Great, thank you.

1627
02:14:17,170 --> 02:14:18,310
Any questions for staff?

1628
02:14:19,630 --> 02:14:20,950
All right, thank you.

1629
02:14:21,070 --> 02:14:22,910
I'm quick to everyone, so I'm to speak on this matter.

1630
02:14:23,210 --> 02:14:24,070
We do not.

1631
02:14:24,850 --> 02:14:27,410
OK, then, you're taking a motion.

1632
02:14:27,690 --> 02:14:30,050
Spive all this on?

1633
02:14:30,290 --> 02:14:32,190
Yeah, I think the advisor doesn't

1634
02:14:32,190 --> 02:14:35,110
be just a punch, so we have a motion a second, please vote.

1635
02:14:36,960 --> 02:14:40,240
Just to confirm the supervisor, Desmond, make the motion.

1636
02:14:40,440 --> 02:14:40,760
Be correct.

1637
02:14:41,040 --> 02:14:41,900
Okay, got it.

1638
02:14:45,120 --> 02:14:47,080
unanimous vote with those members present.

1639
02:14:47,560 --> 02:14:48,860
Thank you.

1640
02:14:49,040 --> 02:14:49,280
Thank you.

1641
02:14:49,280 --> 02:14:49,520
Next item.

1642
02:14:49,960 --> 02:14:56,000
Item 41 is the Gardener split zone and modification of an agricultural preserve to permit a boundary

1643
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:56,740
line adjustment.

1644
02:14:59,770 --> 02:14:59,890
Good.

1645
02:15:01,020 --> 02:15:17,740
I will be presenting this in the rest of the planning items on behalf of Leanne Mueller today. So starting with the Gardener, split zone and modification of Ag Preserve to permit a boundary line adjustment.

1646
02:15:18,980 --> 02:15:40,680
The proposed project involves two properties in the Delta community, an 89.36 acre parcel currently used for great farming and a separate 0.3 acre parcel addressed with 1577-725 Isleton Road developed with a single family residence and a garage, which was built in 1955.

1647
02:15:41,760 --> 02:15:48,500
Since 1971, the Vineyard Property has been enrolled in a Williamson Act agricultural preserve.

1648
02:15:49,240 --> 02:15:56,480
That number is 71 AP-007, and the residential property is not a part of that Williamson Act contract.

1649
02:16:00,940 --> 02:16:05,800
The larger property, Vineyard Property, is within the AG-80 zoning district,

1650
02:16:06,280 --> 02:16:10,880
while in contrast, the residential property is within the AG-20 zoning district.

1651
02:16:10,880 --> 02:16:19,300
Surrounding land uses include surrounding zoning districts include Ag 80 and Delta waterways.

1652
02:16:20,180 --> 02:16:24,740
The Delta waterways captures the Sacramento River and the Georgiana Slu.

1653
02:16:27,770 --> 02:16:33,030
The proposed action involves a request to rescind the existing Ag preserve for the vineyard property.

1654
02:16:34,250 --> 02:16:39,530
And then simultaneously enter into a new Ag preserve to capture the new vineyard boundaries.

1655
02:16:39,530 --> 02:16:44,930
and then approve a split zone to allow a boundary line adjustment for the project site.

1656
02:16:49,230 --> 02:16:53,010
The proposed boundary line adjustment would slightly enlarge the residential property.

1657
02:16:53,350 --> 02:16:58,950
It would essentially be adding 80 feet to the west and south and would total approximately half an acre.

1658
02:16:59,870 --> 02:17:08,070
The half acre L-shaped expansion would serve as an open space buffer for the residential property from the abutting vineyard operations.

1659
02:17:08,070 --> 02:17:09,290
So

1660
02:17:13,030 --> 02:17:19,150
the half acre boundary line adjustment would increase the residential property to 0.82 acre

1661
02:17:19,150 --> 02:17:24,090
and concurrently reduce the vineyard property to 88.84 acres.

1662
02:17:25,150 --> 02:17:27,750
The residential properties boundary lines would change.

1663
02:17:28,650 --> 02:17:31,310
However, the underlining zoning district would remain the same.

1664
02:17:31,550 --> 02:17:36,930
So what you're seeing on the screen is the expansion of that residential property.

1665
02:17:36,930 --> 02:17:39,450
so it would still retain the AG20 portion

1666
02:17:39,450 --> 02:17:42,770
and then have this additional half acre of AG80.

1667
02:17:45,760 --> 02:17:48,680
The zoning code does state that no zoning district boundaries

1668
02:17:48,680 --> 02:17:51,280
shall be established to divide one lot into two

1669
02:17:51,280 --> 02:17:53,040
or more zoning districts unless approved

1670
02:17:53,040 --> 02:17:54,400
by the Board of Supervisors.

1671
02:17:54,540 --> 02:17:56,960
So that is why this project is before you today.

1672
02:17:59,100 --> 02:18:01,840
So as noted, the entire vineyard property

1673
02:18:01,840 --> 02:18:04,100
is currently under an active AG preserve.

1674
02:18:05,060 --> 02:18:06,320
And the proposed boundary line adjustment

1675
02:18:06,320 --> 02:18:13,420
would result in a half acre being permanently removed from that 89 acre vineyard. Therefore,

1676
02:18:13,640 --> 02:18:19,000
the modification to the Williamson Act contract is necessary to reflect the smaller vineyard

1677
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:25,480
acreage and then modification to any Williamson Act contract is also the purview of the board.

1678
02:18:28,880 --> 02:18:33,940
The proposal requested go before the Ag Advisory Committee and the Delta Citizens Municipal

1679
02:18:33,940 --> 02:18:38,600
advisory council. Both were recommended for approval.

1680
02:18:43,460 --> 02:18:44,700
Planning staff has reviewed the

1681
02:18:44,700 --> 02:18:48,140
request and we are also recommending approval of the proposed boundary line adjustment

1682
02:18:48,140 --> 02:18:53,780
and creation of the board approved split zone parcel. So there are five different

1683
02:18:53,780 --> 02:19:01,240
recommended actions. The first to recognize the exempt status of the request under section 15301

1684
02:19:01,240 --> 02:19:06,740
of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. Approved the resolution authorizing a split

1685
02:19:06,740 --> 02:19:14,020
own property, pursuant to Sacramento County Zoning Code Section 1.6.2.8.2, direct the planning

1686
02:19:14,020 --> 02:19:20,100
director or design design need to process the boundary line adjustment adjacent to pursuant

1687
02:19:20,100 --> 02:19:26,700
to Sacramento County Code Title 22. Approved a resolution to rescind the existing Ag Preserve

1688
02:19:26,700 --> 02:19:31,460
for the vineyard property based on the current boundaries and then simultaneously enter and

1689
02:19:31,460 --> 02:19:36,820
established that Ag Preserve to reflect the altered property boundaries from the boundary line adjustment.

1690
02:19:38,160 --> 02:19:41,160
And with that, I'll conclude my presentation and can answer any questions.

1691
02:19:41,960 --> 02:19:50,580
Thank you, Kimber. I do have a question. Unfortunately, our district five supervisor is not here today,

1692
02:19:50,840 --> 02:19:55,360
so what can you share in terms of his disposition?

1693
02:19:57,630 --> 02:20:01,170
I was not in the briefing, so I will let Todd speak to that.

1694
02:20:02,700 --> 02:20:05,420
Good afternoon, Chair Serna Totsmith, planning director.

1695
02:20:05,700 --> 02:20:10,680
I did cover this in a conversation with supervisor Hume several weeks ago.

1696
02:20:11,340 --> 02:20:14,720
He was not concerned about any issues here.

1697
02:20:15,240 --> 02:20:19,460
He didn't offer any personal opinion support or otherwise.

1698
02:20:20,140 --> 02:20:24,760
Okay, so he's staff or presumably okay with it being a gen-dice during that.

1699
02:20:24,760 --> 02:20:25,360
That's my understanding.

1700
02:20:25,760 --> 02:20:25,940
Okay.

1701
02:20:26,160 --> 02:20:26,880
Very good.

1702
02:20:27,100 --> 02:20:28,640
Any other questions for staff?

1703
02:20:29,560 --> 02:20:33,260
See, nine men clerk, do we have any one time to speak on this matter?

1704
02:20:34,040 --> 02:20:35,800
We do not have anyone for this item.

1705
02:20:36,560 --> 02:20:39,020
I will move to approve the recommended action for this item.

1706
02:20:39,820 --> 02:20:40,520
Then move in the second.

1707
02:20:40,600 --> 02:20:41,400
Please vote.

1708
02:20:43,590 --> 02:20:45,450
unanimous vote with those members present.

1709
02:20:45,690 --> 02:20:46,470
Thank you.

1710
02:20:47,490 --> 02:20:48,370
Next item, please.

1711
02:20:50,850 --> 02:20:51,630
Item 42.

1712
02:20:52,330 --> 02:20:58,330
This is a letter of public convenience and necessity for the sale of alcohol through a type 40

1713
02:20:58,330 --> 02:21:04,030
on sale beer ABC License at an existing bar in tavern and indoor recreation facility,

1714
02:21:04,230 --> 02:21:09,110
which is a billiard hall located at 610 Watt Avenue in the North Highlands community

1715
02:21:09,110 --> 02:21:11,690
and the business name is Billier L. Topatio.

1716
02:21:13,930 --> 02:21:18,350
All right. Hello again, Kimber Gutierrez, Senior Planner with Planning and Environmental

1717
02:21:18,350 --> 02:21:22,610
Review, presenting the Billier L. Topatio PCN request.

1718
02:21:24,720 --> 02:21:27,440
So the project site is located at 610

1719
02:21:27,440 --> 02:21:32,400
Watt Avenue. It's in the mid-block on the east side of Watt Avenue in the North Highlands

1720
02:21:32,400 --> 02:21:39,420
Foothill Farms community. The project site is 1,250 square foot commercial suite with an

1721
02:21:39,420 --> 02:21:46,840
existing 8,160 square foot strip mall originally constructed in 1961. The project site is within

1722
02:21:46,840 --> 02:21:53,280
the North Watt Avenue corridor plan within the town center district and has a sub area of residential

1723
02:21:53,280 --> 02:21:54,540
next use one.

1724
02:21:57,850 --> 02:22:01,910
One of the retail suite in the strip mall is an existing billiards haul,

1725
02:22:02,170 --> 02:22:11,130
so billiards L. Topatio. The subject property is within census tract 74.03 and has a baseline

1726
02:22:11,130 --> 02:22:20,490
authorization of three off sale licenses and six on sale licenses. None of the off sale licenses

1727
02:22:20,490 --> 02:22:29,190
are issued, so all three allotments are available, and I believe all of the on sale licenses

1728
02:22:29,190 --> 02:22:35,630
are also available as well. So there is no over-concentration and is considered an under-concentrated

1729
02:22:35,630 --> 02:22:37,730
area with respect to alcohol license.

1730
02:22:41,830 --> 02:22:44,130
Within the strip mall, again none of the businesses

1731
02:22:44,130 --> 02:22:50,290
sell alcohol. The subject property, however, is within Sheriff's District 1, Northwest County,

1732
02:22:50,290 --> 02:22:57,290
sub-area North Highlands, so because within that area does have an average crime rate that exceeds

1733
02:22:57,290 --> 02:23:04,090
the overall district to average by greater than 20%. So the finding of public convenience

1734
02:23:04,090 --> 02:23:10,210
or necessity is required due to the project's location within a high crime area. And then also

1735
02:23:10,210 --> 02:23:14,850
within the general plan, the area is within the North Highlands Environmental Justice community.

1736
02:23:18,420 --> 02:23:24,720
Type 40 alcohol license is typically issued to bars and taverns.

1737
02:23:24,840 --> 02:23:30,260
It authorizes the sale of beer for consumption on or off the premises where sold and

1738
02:23:30,260 --> 02:23:33,660
no wine or distilled spirits may be on the premises.

1739
02:23:34,740 --> 02:23:40,380
Full meals are not required, however snacks must be available and minors are also allowed

1740
02:23:40,380 --> 02:23:41,560
on the premises.

1741
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:47,120
Their license type is also subject to the responsible beverage service requirements and

1742
02:23:47,120 --> 02:23:53,180
requires alcohol servers and managers of alcohol servers to be responsible beverage service certified.

1743
02:23:55,380 --> 02:24:01,060
I did want to note that although the type 40 alcohol license does allow sales for off-site consumption,

1744
02:24:01,640 --> 02:24:06,460
the proprietor of the billiards hall has agreed to restrict sales to on-site consumption only,

1745
02:24:06,820 --> 02:24:11,840
and that is also noted in their ABC application that is included as an attachment to the report.

1746
02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:15,840
And this requirement for onsite beer consumption would

1747
02:24:16,740 --> 02:24:20,000
would continue to be added to the license once it's issued.

1748
02:24:24,020 --> 02:24:26,460
So on screen now is the one-mile radius map.

1749
02:24:26,520 --> 02:24:29,980
This showcases existing alcohol sales licenses,

1750
02:24:30,240 --> 02:24:33,720
as well as schools, daycare centers, and vacant parcels within the area.

1751
02:24:34,480 --> 02:24:37,400
The nearby land uses are mostly commercial businesses

1752
02:24:37,400 --> 02:24:40,960
and tenants to the north and south along Watt Avenue.

1753
02:24:41,720 --> 02:24:44,260
Some of these commercial businesses do sell alcohol

1754
02:24:44,260 --> 02:24:48,120
but none are within the immediate proximity of the subject site.

1755
02:24:49,500 --> 02:24:54,100
The surrounding side streets to the east are single-family residential subdivisions,

1756
02:24:54,460 --> 02:25:01,360
and there are several schools within a one-mile radius, and then McClone Airport is a little over half-mile to the west.

1757
02:25:05,840 --> 02:25:09,360
The request was presented to the North Highlands but Whole Farm CPAC.

1758
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:14,060
We only had one CPAC member in attendance who asked a couple of questions,

1759
02:25:14,060 --> 02:25:17,780
but overall was rather neutral towards the request.

1760
02:25:18,780 --> 02:25:23,740
One public commenter did speak supporting the PCN request,

1761
02:25:23,920 --> 02:25:27,640
citing a lack of local entertainment options in the area.

1762
02:25:28,940 --> 02:25:31,200
And then as of March 26th of 2025,

1763
02:25:31,580 --> 02:25:33,720
there have been no written public comments.

1764
02:25:34,000 --> 02:25:34,260
Oh, sorry.

1765
02:25:34,680 --> 02:25:36,620
We did receive one public comment in support

1766
02:25:36,620 --> 02:25:38,020
that should have been forwarded to you.

1767
02:25:38,060 --> 02:25:38,960
We did receive that today.

1768
02:25:39,140 --> 02:25:41,040
So we did receive one public comment in support

1769
02:25:41,040 --> 02:25:42,200
of the proposed request.

1770
02:25:43,020 --> 02:25:46,800
Because of the lack of quorum, there was no formalcy

1771
02:25:46,800 --> 02:25:50,600
pack recommendation, but we do move forward with the project regardless.

1772
02:25:53,690 --> 02:25:58,410
So just to kind of recap, the area is under concentrated in terms of alcohol sales.

1773
02:25:58,830 --> 02:26:03,970
The area is a high crime neighborhood, and the applicant has agreed to both the shares,

1774
02:26:04,210 --> 02:26:08,670
recommended conditions for onsite sales only, and then limitation on the

1775
02:26:08,670 --> 02:26:14,530
of alcohol sales from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

1776
02:26:18,060 --> 02:26:21,380
Therefore, staff is recommending a approval of this PCN request.

1777
02:26:22,480 --> 02:26:25,320
We believe that the sale of alcohol can be accomplished in a manner

1778
02:26:25,320 --> 02:26:28,200
that sufficiently addresses or eliminates objections,

1779
02:26:28,940 --> 02:26:32,160
received and negative impacts identified in the review,

1780
02:26:32,900 --> 02:26:36,260
pursuant to Sacramento County Code 46030,

1781
02:26:37,340 --> 02:26:39,900
and we believe that the applicant has demonstrated that the public

1782
02:26:39,900 --> 02:26:44,120
convenience or necessity of this liquor license would augment entertainment options for an existing

1783
02:26:44,120 --> 02:26:47,460
North Island's business and a manner agreeable to the sheriff's department.

1784
02:26:48,600 --> 02:26:53,040
With that, I can conclude my presentation. The applicant is present and has prepared some

1785
02:26:53,040 --> 02:26:59,060
speaking notes as well for the board. Okay. Do we have any questions for Kimber before we hear from

1786
02:26:59,060 --> 02:27:04,660
the applicant? I do have one question. I'm not sure if you can answer it or perhaps the applicant can.

1787
02:27:06,660 --> 02:27:16,760
You mentioned server training. Does that presumably include how to identify over intoxication

1788
02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:24,580
so that a decision could be made to stop serving an individual that is impaired?

1789
02:27:25,400 --> 02:27:28,920
I assume that that is part of the training, but I will let the applicant speak to that.

1790
02:27:28,920 --> 02:27:31,580
I'm seeing my colleague to my left too on the restaurant.

1791
02:27:32,980 --> 02:27:33,400
Yes.

1792
02:27:34,820 --> 02:27:35,040
All right.

1793
02:27:35,100 --> 02:27:35,500
Very good.

1794
02:27:35,640 --> 02:27:36,720
Well, you're from the applicant.

1795
02:27:49,000 --> 02:27:50,160
I got afternoon customer.

1796
02:27:50,840 --> 02:27:51,840
So follow the time to your question.

1797
02:27:52,400 --> 02:27:52,880
The average.

1798
02:27:53,660 --> 02:27:54,780
The alcohol brevers control.

1799
02:27:54,880 --> 02:27:57,480
They do require us to do the responsible brevers.

1800
02:27:57,940 --> 02:27:58,380
Minimetry.

1801
02:27:58,760 --> 02:27:59,800
And it does cover that.

1802
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:02,580
And as well as then in finding false IDs as well.

1803
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:04,240
And it does go more into detail.

1804
02:28:04,420 --> 02:28:05,300
I just don't have that problem.

1805
02:28:05,640 --> 02:28:05,900
Okay.

1806
02:28:06,080 --> 02:28:06,720
Very good.

1807
02:28:07,520 --> 02:28:09,300
But I have a little speech.

1808
02:28:09,300 --> 02:28:12,360
Good afternoon, Council members. My name is John Tamayo.

1809
02:28:12,900 --> 02:28:13,660
We're superriders.

1810
02:28:13,840 --> 02:28:14,960
All right, sorry.

1811
02:28:15,240 --> 02:28:15,680
Supermizers.

1812
02:28:16,540 --> 02:28:16,980
Projects.

1813
02:28:17,080 --> 02:28:17,480
I apologize.

1814
02:28:18,500 --> 02:28:21,120
I represent the local pool hall in Bill and Bill at Tapatillo.

1815
02:28:21,380 --> 02:28:25,840
I'm here today to ask for your support on a Type 48 license, which allows us to serve beer on a premise.

1816
02:28:26,440 --> 02:28:28,440
Only beer in the local bill or establishment.

1817
02:28:28,860 --> 02:28:30,720
The establishment is 1,200.

1818
02:28:31,020 --> 02:28:33,760
1,250 square foot by 25 square foot.

1819
02:28:34,120 --> 02:28:35,320
Right now, we're the only pool hall,

1820
02:28:35,320 --> 02:28:38,900
to get an endorphinance. And if you want an experience like this, you have to

1821
02:28:38,900 --> 02:28:42,840
track 20 minutes, time to see if it's a Carmichael or 30 minutes south in

1822
02:28:42,840 --> 02:28:46,820
arts experience. I understand there is a concern from the community about the

1823
02:28:46,820 --> 02:28:50,540
alcohol cells and I know that the crime rate is a bit high, but I want to

1824
02:28:50,540 --> 02:28:55,760
clear for it. This is not a liquor store and we do we as mentioned before we are

1825
02:28:55,760 --> 02:28:59,880
not going to allow off-site cells or outside consumption. We have worked closely with

1826
02:28:59,880 --> 02:29:02,880
Sheriff James Cooper and fully agreed to the set of conditions to ensure

1827
02:29:02,880 --> 02:29:05,900
safety in compliance, and we are committed to upholding them.

1828
02:29:06,760 --> 02:29:11,200
Again, this is a family-owned business, and this package is small, and we only have four

1829
02:29:11,200 --> 02:29:11,860
poll tables.

1830
02:29:13,400 --> 02:29:20,680
It is relatively small, and at minimum at least 15 to six in people would be allowed in.

1831
02:29:21,300 --> 02:29:25,300
So we can ensure that limit of traffic, and ensure we can maintain a controlled safety

1832
02:29:25,300 --> 02:29:26,460
and welcome environment.

1833
02:29:28,200 --> 02:29:31,560
I live in North Thailand for half of my life, and I love this community, and I want

1834
02:29:31,560 --> 02:29:33,120
contribute to the economic growth,

1835
02:29:33,220 --> 02:29:34,980
not just the great and new space for recreation,

1836
02:29:35,260 --> 02:29:37,660
but keeping business and revenue right here

1837
02:29:37,660 --> 02:29:38,220
in our neighborhood.

1838
02:29:39,620 --> 02:29:41,580
Thank you for your time in causation.

1839
02:29:42,220 --> 02:29:42,680
All right, very good.

1840
02:29:42,780 --> 02:29:43,800
It's your vice-radrius.

1841
02:29:44,460 --> 02:29:47,960
Well, first I want to congratulate you on a business

1842
02:29:47,960 --> 02:29:52,480
I, you know, it's tough being a business owner in California.

1843
02:29:53,240 --> 02:29:56,040
And I will be supporting this project

1844
02:29:56,040 --> 02:29:58,620
because I think that just reading that documentation

1845
02:29:58,620 --> 02:29:59,920
and you made some modifications.

1846
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:06,020
Questions with the sheriff's department, and with the hours and requesting just the license.

1847
02:30:06,300 --> 02:30:09,440
What was it? Forty, Peter only.

1848
02:30:10,260 --> 02:30:14,860
And so I will be supporting you, and I do wish you the best in your business.

1849
02:30:14,980 --> 02:30:16,780
Thank you.

1850
02:30:17,860 --> 02:30:19,300
Any other questions?

1851
02:30:21,240 --> 02:30:22,780
And what do we have other signs of this?

1852
02:30:23,200 --> 02:30:25,080
No, not on the side of it.

1853
02:30:25,480 --> 02:30:26,520
You can go ahead and take a seat.

1854
02:30:26,780 --> 02:30:27,080
Thank you.

1855
02:30:30,660 --> 02:30:35,820
I will go ahead and recommend an action for this item.

1856
02:30:36,020 --> 02:30:36,040
Okay.

1857
02:30:36,340 --> 02:30:36,900
It's been moved in a second.

1858
02:30:37,280 --> 02:30:38,080
Please vote.

1859
02:30:38,940 --> 02:30:41,000
You now and it's vote with those members present.

1860
02:30:41,460 --> 02:30:41,600
All right.

1861
02:30:44,550 --> 02:30:45,370
Item 43.

1862
02:30:45,830 --> 02:30:48,470
This is for the grocery outlet.

1863
02:30:48,690 --> 02:30:52,530
This is a letter of public convenience and necessity for the sale of alcohol with a

1864
02:30:52,530 --> 02:30:53,290
type 21.

1865
02:30:53,970 --> 02:30:55,030
Beer wine and spirits.

1866
02:30:55,030 --> 02:30:59,470
ABC License at a proposed grocery outlet, store located at

1867
02:30:59,470 --> 02:31:02,670
1309 Fulton Avenue in the Art and Arcade community.

1868
02:31:03,970 --> 02:31:04,530
Your back.

1869
02:31:04,590 --> 02:31:05,450
I'm back.

1870
02:31:05,610 --> 02:31:06,350
Last item.

1871
02:31:07,590 --> 02:31:07,950
All right.

1872
02:31:08,030 --> 02:31:10,890
So this is for grocery outlet, PCN requests,

1873
02:31:11,530 --> 02:31:15,030
Kimber Gutierrez, senior planner for planning and environmental review.

1874
02:31:16,790 --> 02:31:22,090
The project site is located at 1309 Fulton Avenue in the Art and Arcade community.

1875
02:31:22,090 --> 02:31:25,850
is at the southeast corner of Fulton Avenue and Hurley Way.

1876
02:31:26,650 --> 02:31:33,610
The project site is a 53,579 square foot standalone retail building, which was constructed in 2005.

1877
02:31:34,690 --> 02:31:41,710
The project site is zoned light commercial, and is within Sheriff's District 4 North Central County Subarea Howarton.

1878
02:31:42,850 --> 02:31:50,230
And per the Sheriff's Department, the Howarton Subarea does have an average crime rate exceeding the overall district 4 average by greater than 20%.

1879
02:31:50,230 --> 02:31:56,030
percent. So a finding of public convenience or necessity is required due to the project site

1880
02:31:56,030 --> 02:32:02,130
being in a high-crime area. And also the project is within the West Art and Arcade environmental

1881
02:32:02,130 --> 02:32:03,090
justice community.

1882
02:32:06,820 --> 02:32:11,880
The vacant retail store is proposed as a future grocery outlet, which is a

1883
02:32:11,880 --> 02:32:19,400
discount full-service grocery store. The former RIDA had a type 21 alcohol license, which was

1884
02:32:19,400 --> 02:32:23,440
rendered to ABC following the company's

1885
02:32:23,440 --> 02:32:26,040
closure or company's bankruptcy in the stores closure.

1886
02:32:27,000 --> 02:32:30,260
The subject property is within census tract 55.06

1887
02:32:30,860 --> 02:32:34,820
and has a baseline authorization of four off-sale licenses.

1888
02:32:35,880 --> 02:32:39,260
Currently, two of the allotments are assigned,

1889
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:42,160
leaving two off-sale licenses still available,

1890
02:32:42,740 --> 02:32:44,840
and the area is considered under concentrated

1891
02:32:44,840 --> 02:32:46,980
in respects to alcohol license.

1892
02:32:49,180 --> 02:32:53,580
Here is the floor plan for the proposed grocery outlet.

1893
02:32:54,220 --> 02:33:00,800
I just want to note that the display of alcohol would be about 5% of the store's total floor area.

1894
02:33:01,580 --> 02:33:03,960
And that is in the shaded area where the arrow is pointing.

1895
02:33:07,680 --> 02:33:09,800
Here is the one-mile radius map.

1896
02:33:10,540 --> 02:33:13,480
The nearby land uses are mostly commercial businesses,

1897
02:33:13,940 --> 02:33:17,980
oriented north and south along Fulton Avenue and to the east along Hurley Way.

1898
02:33:17,980 --> 02:33:25,320
To the west is an apartment complex and the nearest school is about 1,050 feet to the east.

1899
02:33:25,320 --> 02:33:26,360
You're sorry, to the west.

1900
02:33:27,600 --> 02:33:32,460
Along the commercial corridors of Fulton and Hurley, there are several commercial businesses that sell alcohol.

1901
02:33:33,340 --> 02:33:42,300
And just want to note that the red lines are the different census tracks, so most of those businesses are in different census tracks than the proposed site.

1902
02:33:45,910 --> 02:33:57,010
The request was presented to the Arnar Cade CPAC, the members asked several questions, however we're generally in support of a new full service grocery store in the area.

1903
02:33:57,670 --> 02:34:02,870
The CPAC members voted to recommend approval of the request to the board.

1904
02:34:03,750 --> 02:34:07,950
And we have not received any public comments to date for this PCM request.

1905
02:34:07,950 --> 02:34:08,810
So

1906
02:34:12,840 --> 02:34:20,840
just to recap, the area is under concentrated so they do not have all of the assigned licenses filled.

1907
02:34:21,360 --> 02:34:27,660
However, the area is in a high crime neighborhood which triggers the letter of public convenience or necessity.

1908
02:34:28,740 --> 02:34:37,700
The applicant has agreed to the share of recommended conditions, which include limitation on hours of alcohol sales, no sales of singles, beer or wine coolers.

1909
02:34:37,700 --> 02:34:45,540
One, being 750 milliliters or larger and no loitering signs and enforcement on the building.

1910
02:34:47,930 --> 02:34:50,970
Therefore, staff recommends approval of this PCN request.

1911
02:34:51,590 --> 02:34:56,910
The sale of alcohol can be accomplished in a manner that sufficiently addresses or eliminates objections received,

1912
02:34:57,450 --> 02:35:03,190
and negative impacts identified in the review concurrent, conducted pursuant to Sacramento County Code Chapter 4.

1913
02:35:03,190 --> 02:35:08,510
The applicants have demonstrated that the public convenience or necessity of this liquor license

1914
02:35:08,510 --> 02:35:14,070
outweighs the objections and negative impacts identified and then also the alcohol sales

1915
02:35:14,070 --> 02:35:19,690
would be approximately 5% of the total gross area of the grocery store which will make it

1916
02:35:19,690 --> 02:35:24,130
ancillary feature of the supermarket rather than a convenience store or liquor store.

1917
02:35:25,230 --> 02:35:26,730
And that will conclude my presentation.

1918
02:35:27,510 --> 02:35:30,830
I'm not sure if the applicant is here in attendance.

1919
02:35:31,390 --> 02:35:31,870
Great.

1920
02:35:31,890 --> 02:35:33,070
And as available as well.

1921
02:35:33,330 --> 02:35:33,790
Thank you, Kimber.

1922
02:35:33,950 --> 02:35:39,350
You don't often make mistakes, but I think you've made one just in a reference in the

1923
02:35:39,990 --> 02:35:40,890
Supervisorial District.

1924
02:35:41,190 --> 02:35:42,450
It's District 3, I believe.

1925
02:35:43,670 --> 02:35:44,710
You said District 4.

1926
02:35:44,990 --> 02:35:45,570
Did I?

1927
02:35:48,730 --> 02:35:49,030
Okay.

1928
02:35:49,370 --> 02:35:49,910
My apologies.

1929
02:35:50,030 --> 02:35:50,250
Yes.

1930
02:35:50,250 --> 02:35:52,270
I do have it on the report as Desmond's District.

1931
02:35:52,810 --> 02:35:53,030
All right.

1932
02:35:53,050 --> 02:35:53,630
Very good.

1933
02:35:54,210 --> 02:35:55,650
And with that, Supervisor Desmond.

1934
02:35:56,150 --> 02:35:56,950
Well, thank you, Kimber.

1935
02:35:57,050 --> 02:35:59,030
I was getting nervous about that.

1936
02:36:00,230 --> 02:36:04,610
Well, I know the applicants here and I appreciate the presentation.

1937
02:36:05,750 --> 02:36:07,510
Would you mind coming to the podium?

1938
02:36:12,030 --> 02:36:12,730
A little bit afternoon.

1939
02:36:12,970 --> 02:36:13,890
My name is Joe Tanner.

1940
02:36:14,050 --> 02:36:16,570
I'm the entitlement and permit manager for Gorsh Rialet.

1941
02:36:16,930 --> 02:36:17,030
Okay.

1942
02:36:17,870 --> 02:36:19,330
And are the thank you for being here?

1943
02:36:19,530 --> 02:36:21,890
Are the Gorsh Rialet, are they independently owned?

1944
02:36:22,750 --> 02:36:23,890
They're not independently owned.

1945
02:36:23,970 --> 02:36:27,450
So a business model is set up a little bit different than a franchise model.

1946
02:36:27,450 --> 02:36:32,550
So the corporate office handles the lease, the improvements, the entitlements,

1947
02:36:33,110 --> 02:36:38,850
permits, everything to get the store up and running, and then once we're a couple

1948
02:36:38,850 --> 02:36:43,630
months out from the store opening, then an independent operator is selected, and they

1949
02:36:43,630 --> 02:36:48,630
run the store, they determine the hours, they hire the employees, et cetera, and

1950
02:36:48,630 --> 02:36:51,170
then there's a profit split at the end of the day.

1951
02:36:51,290 --> 02:36:54,290
So it's a partnership between the owner and the corporate.

1952
02:36:54,290 --> 02:37:02,110
Okay, I just want to confirm that because that means I mean there's there is consistency among grocery outlets and how they operate and yes

1953
02:37:02,110 --> 02:37:10,270
I believe we have corporate owns two or three stores at the moment total in California, but everything else is independent operator

1954
02:37:10,270 --> 02:37:12,710
Okay, what will the hours be of the store?

1955
02:37:13,790 --> 02:37:19,630
Typically there are about eight to ten as I've seen most, but again, that's it's the operator decisions

1956
02:37:19,630 --> 02:37:28,370
So sometimes depending on the market, they may be open to what they want to be open about seven or may try to open up to eleven, but typically most are eight to ten.

1957
02:37:29,970 --> 02:37:31,710
Okay. Thank you. I'm supportive of it.

1958
02:37:31,810 --> 02:37:34,530
I mean, I think this is Kimber mentioned.

1959
02:37:34,890 --> 02:37:43,330
This is different from just a convenience store, liquor store, something, the full array of groceries, fresh food, options in the community, which is really needed.

1960
02:37:43,590 --> 02:37:48,410
And grocery outlet has, I think, has really established themselves as a good community partner.

1961
02:37:48,410 --> 02:37:52,950
So if there's no public comment, Mr. Chair, I'm happy to move.

1962
02:37:53,530 --> 02:37:54,250
Who will get it?

1963
02:37:54,430 --> 02:37:54,730
A second.

1964
02:37:55,410 --> 02:37:57,110
His motion is second on floor.

1965
02:37:57,490 --> 02:38:00,170
He board before you proceed with the vote.

1966
02:38:00,290 --> 02:38:03,590
I do want to make one minor clarification, but it's important.

1967
02:38:03,870 --> 02:38:05,110
Sorry, Todd Smith planning director.

1968
02:38:06,310 --> 02:38:10,970
We did receive a couple of public comments on this, not today, but earlier in the process.

1969
02:38:11,590 --> 02:38:14,350
I mentioned them during my briefing with you all yesterday.

1970
02:38:14,350 --> 02:38:20,830
There are two comments that came in not necessarily in opposition to the proposal, but they were

1971
02:38:20,830 --> 02:38:25,710
citing a number of community quality of life concerns related to homelessness, vagancy,

1972
02:38:26,270 --> 02:38:31,410
that type of thing substance abuse. Obviously, much larger issues to be untangled there and

1973
02:38:31,410 --> 02:38:35,110
an address, but I do want to make sure that you were aware of that. Those were also available.

1974
02:38:35,890 --> 02:38:41,250
When this PCN request went to the CPAC and the CPAC still voted in favor, so I think that's

1975
02:38:41,250 --> 02:38:44,690
something as well. Great, thank you.

1976
02:38:45,190 --> 02:38:47,470
Madam Clerk, no other members of the Public Service speak?

1977
02:38:47,690 --> 02:38:48,610
No, not for the second.

1978
02:38:49,070 --> 02:38:51,350
All right, we have a motion a second, please vote.

1979
02:38:53,230 --> 02:38:55,110
You know, I'm going to vote with those members present.

1980
02:38:55,390 --> 02:38:56,810
Thank you.

1981
02:38:56,970 --> 02:38:57,730
Okay, very much.

1982
02:38:58,350 --> 02:39:01,990
For item 44, you are acting as the welcome home Board of Directors,

1983
02:39:02,130 --> 02:39:05,790
receive and file the fiscal year 2425, quarter three, Sacramento,

1984
02:39:06,490 --> 02:39:11,490
welcome home, presentation report, and approve the Sacramento welcome home policy engagement

1985
02:39:11,490 --> 02:39:13,010
social worker standards.

1986
02:39:18,180 --> 02:39:22,800
Good afternoon, Chair Serena and the Board. Melissa Lloyd, Deputy

1987
02:39:22,800 --> 02:39:27,360
Director of Child Protective Services and the Department of Child Family Adults Services.

1988
02:39:28,940 --> 02:39:36,620
I come to you today to present to the third quarter of fiscal year 20, 24, 25, welcome home

1989
02:39:36,620 --> 02:39:38,400
Board of Directors Information.

1990
02:39:40,440 --> 02:39:44,600
Which are our temporary shelter care facilities operated by the

1991
02:39:44,600 --> 02:39:46,760
Department of Child Family and Adult Services.

1992
02:39:48,660 --> 02:39:53,220
On behalf of our department, I would like to thank you for your continued support to the efforts

1993
02:39:53,220 --> 02:39:58,220
that we are making to serve our most vulnerable youth in our community.

1994
02:39:58,820 --> 02:40:06,040
And I also want to take a moment and thank our staff who work tirelessly serving our youth

1995
02:40:06,040 --> 02:40:11,580
as well as acknowledge our internal and community partners that are helping us move through

1996
02:40:11,580 --> 02:40:12,320
this work.

1997
02:40:16,890 --> 02:40:25,550
Today, I will be going over the operating budget and fiscal information and of date on our staff training and safety.

1998
02:40:26,970 --> 02:40:37,110
Policies, one of which you will be approving today, if you so choose, and our quarterly data, and give you an update on our placement capacity extension efforts.

1999
02:40:37,110 --> 02:40:48,120
To start with our operating budget and fiscal information, this is a snapshot, fiscal year 2425

2000
02:40:48,120 --> 02:40:51,400
for three welcome homes that we were operating.

2001
02:40:51,600 --> 02:40:57,920
I am happy to share with you that we have now gone down as of the beginning of April 2

2002
02:40:57,920 --> 02:40:59,860
to two welcome homes that we are operating.

2003
02:40:59,860 --> 02:41:10,200
This slide shows the budget quarter 1, 2, and 3 actuals, as well as the remaining budget for the fiscal year.

2004
02:41:10,640 --> 02:41:18,860
Staffing continues to be the largest budget category with contracted services being the next largest category.

2005
02:41:19,740 --> 02:41:24,960
We continue our security services contract with the Sheriff's Department.

2006
02:41:26,060 --> 02:41:31,340
Other things in this category are training, recreational activities for the youth

2007
02:41:31,340 --> 02:41:33,460
and mentorship programming.

2008
02:41:34,600 --> 02:41:38,100
And finally, our operating expenses and overhead

2009
02:41:38,100 --> 02:41:39,560
make up the rest of the budget.

2010
02:41:40,060 --> 02:41:44,060
That includes facility costs to supplies to feed and care for the youth

2011
02:41:44,060 --> 02:41:49,280
direct costs needed to operate in other minor miscellaneous expenses.

2012
02:41:49,920 --> 02:41:56,280
A reminder that not all of the expenses are reflected as there are sometimes delays

2013
02:41:56,280 --> 02:41:58,920
in receiving invoices timely.

2014
02:42:02,030 --> 02:42:08,070
Next I'll move on to an update with regarding staff training and safety in quarter three

2015
02:42:08,070 --> 02:42:15,110
and just a quick reminder for all that quarter three is the January through March time

2016
02:42:15,110 --> 02:42:17,110
since we're on the fiscal year calendar.

2017
02:42:19,230 --> 02:42:24,950
During this quarter, the therapeutic crisis intervention training continued,

2018
02:42:25,530 --> 02:42:31,930
and mainly in this quarter, we had the make-ups for the TCI Part 1,

2019
02:42:32,250 --> 02:42:40,070
and then we also moved into Phase 2, which is the physical intervention training with manual restraints.

2020
02:42:40,070 --> 02:42:49,730
We also started using a new online application program that really helps us streamline the process

2021
02:42:49,730 --> 02:42:57,530
for automated tracking for all of the information that we need to track for community care licensing.

2022
02:42:59,630 --> 02:43:06,110
We provided an education supports overview and we continued our live safe training,

2023
02:43:06,110 --> 02:43:10,450
which employs those safety strategies for staff.

2024
02:43:10,970 --> 02:43:15,270
That is a de-escalation training, not a restraint training.

2025
02:43:20,880 --> 02:43:25,340
Additionally, we have upcoming trainings for staff

2026
02:43:25,340 --> 02:43:27,980
that I wanted to share some information about.

2027
02:43:28,080 --> 02:43:30,700
We have a training that is titled Discipline Training.

2028
02:43:31,200 --> 02:43:33,680
The title of that comes directly from the community

2029
02:43:33,680 --> 02:43:35,440
care licensing regulations.

2030
02:43:36,260 --> 02:43:38,640
But it's important for you to know the definition of that.

2031
02:43:38,640 --> 02:43:42,340
is really around positive interventions and supports.

2032
02:43:42,720 --> 02:43:46,020
This is around incentivizing positive behavior,

2033
02:43:47,080 --> 02:43:48,540
reinforcing of a desired behaviors,

2034
02:43:49,080 --> 02:43:52,240
and employing natural and logical consequences.

2035
02:43:54,300 --> 02:43:59,440
We also will, we also continue to do makeup trainings

2036
02:43:59,440 --> 02:44:01,320
on the runaway plan training,

2037
02:44:01,920 --> 02:44:03,600
creating a trauma and form culture,

2038
02:44:04,100 --> 02:44:06,820
and also training on prudent parent.

2039
02:44:08,680 --> 02:44:10,440
information and searches.

2040
02:44:14,840 --> 02:44:20,260
We have one policy for the quarter three time frame and that's the engagement

2041
02:44:20,260 --> 02:44:27,600
social worker standards. I will share that as we come forward for the quarter four we will have

2042
02:44:27,600 --> 02:44:34,040
several more policies that we will present to you for approval. There's been a lot of work being done

2043
02:44:34,040 --> 02:44:40,300
on the policies and procedures but within that certain timeframe we just had the one. We've already

2044
02:44:40,300 --> 02:44:43,920
finalized a few and we have some more that are very close to finalization.

2045
02:44:47,750 --> 02:44:48,450
I'll move into

2046
02:44:50,720 --> 02:44:59,980
the demographic data for this quarter between January 1 and March 31, there were 57 undupliced.

2047
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:09,800
It did you that were served at the three welcome homes to give a comparison in quarter two. There were 85 and in quarter one. There were 64.

2048
02:45:11,160 --> 02:45:24,380
We continue to see the majority of the kids in the welcome homes being female in quarter three. Approximately three quarters of the youth serve were female where the quarter were male.

2049
02:45:25,140 --> 02:45:34,240
61, a 72% of the children in youth at the welcome homes were children of color, black,

2050
02:45:34,500 --> 02:45:43,260
Hispanic, Native American, and to give a comparison to that in quarter to 61% were children

2051
02:45:43,260 --> 02:45:54,560
of color. About 25% of our youth were served by probation on an informal status in quarter

2052
02:45:54,560 --> 02:46:01,180
two that was 16% and then in quarter three the average age of the youth at the homes was

2053
02:46:01,180 --> 02:46:10,980
14 in quarter two it was 13. The average daily census for youth across all the welcome homes

2054
02:46:10,980 --> 02:46:15,720
was nine, and the average length of stay was 15 days.

2055
02:46:16,940 --> 02:46:20,560
In quarter two, the average daily census was 11,

2056
02:46:21,160 --> 02:46:23,640
and the average length of stay was six days.

2057
02:46:25,040 --> 02:46:26,060
Excuse me, Melissa.

2058
02:46:26,800 --> 02:46:26,880
Yes.

2059
02:46:26,880 --> 02:46:28,900
She provides a rug rig as says a question that comes in.

2060
02:46:28,900 --> 02:46:29,240
Yes.

2061
02:46:29,720 --> 02:46:30,640
Good afternoon, Melissa.

2062
02:46:31,140 --> 02:46:31,160
Hi.

2063
02:46:31,160 --> 02:46:35,820
Quick question about the 34th female quarter male.

2064
02:46:36,380 --> 02:46:39,980
Are there any preventative measures that can be taken to

2065
02:46:39,980 --> 02:46:46,360
to reduce that or can you give us some insight into what is creating a higher female versus

2066
02:46:46,360 --> 02:46:49,920
male population for this group?

2067
02:46:50,280 --> 02:46:50,660
Absolutely.

2068
02:46:51,360 --> 02:46:57,980
They're across the state of California and quite frankly, across the nation, placement

2069
02:46:57,980 --> 02:47:03,080
for teen girls is just generally harder to find.

2070
02:47:03,760 --> 02:47:08,860
A lot of congregate settings have challenges with having groups of teenage girls together,

2071
02:47:08,860 --> 02:47:14,920
a lot of our local partners as well as partners across the state of California, typically

2072
02:47:14,920 --> 02:47:22,660
lean toward taking boys and that's just a trend that has been seen over decades of time.

2073
02:47:23,320 --> 02:47:26,580
As far as any prevention around that, yes, absolutely.

2074
02:47:26,880 --> 02:47:31,440
I'm going to talk in a little bit further in the presentation about our capacity expansion

2075
02:47:31,440 --> 02:47:32,000
efforts.

2076
02:47:32,600 --> 02:47:37,740
And then we also are exploring within the department some supports and additional supports

2077
02:47:37,740 --> 02:47:47,700
services for youth who are suffering being sexually exploited. And there's a lot of work

2078
02:47:47,700 --> 02:47:52,580
collectively in the communities specifically with other county departments that we're

2079
02:47:52,580 --> 02:48:00,140
doing to address this issue to help stabilize. So is there a trend right now in the higher

2080
02:48:00,140 --> 02:48:08,700
female for this group and potentially human trafficking, is that what we often see at our

2081
02:48:08,700 --> 02:48:15,580
welcome homes is that we do see overall the youth at the welcome homes do present with a

2082
02:48:15,580 --> 02:48:24,380
higher acuity of need. There are youth that are being currently trafficked, sexually exploited

2083
02:48:24,380 --> 02:48:35,960
and there's also the phenomenon within sexual exploitation is the grooming, and so there is a correlation

2084
02:48:35,960 --> 02:48:41,520
of sorts because often times youth that are being exploited, not all of our female youth

2085
02:48:41,520 --> 02:48:46,220
in the welcome homes, whether they're the Sacramento welcomes or the contracted ones, they're

2086
02:48:46,220 --> 02:48:52,220
not all being actively exploited. But what typically happens with youth that are being exploited

2087
02:48:52,220 --> 02:48:57,180
is they have more challenges with staying stable in placement.

2088
02:48:58,120 --> 02:49:03,000
They have overall just significantly more needs,

2089
02:49:03,340 --> 02:49:06,940
whether those these substance use issues or mental health needs.

2090
02:49:07,120 --> 02:49:12,400
One of the preventative efforts with the welcome homes that we have taken directly is that one

2091
02:49:12,400 --> 02:49:17,240
of our providers currently that just started in April 1st.

2092
02:49:17,240 --> 02:49:23,600
We had a new contract provider come on April 1st and the home that they are running is specifically

2093
02:49:23,600 --> 02:49:25,000
for girls.

2094
02:49:25,740 --> 02:49:31,340
And so far, they are doing a really great job with helping stabilize the girls.

2095
02:49:31,740 --> 02:49:36,160
So there's a lot of work that our team does with their team as well as with our behavioral

2096
02:49:36,160 --> 02:49:39,640
health partners to really work from a harm reduction lens.

2097
02:49:40,280 --> 02:49:43,840
What is the capacity of beds for this location?

2098
02:49:45,000 --> 02:50:05,600
For the one you just mentioned, every six, six, yeah, which is really, you know, it's such a small number, but it gets six young ladies off the street, but it definitely is so, well, I guess I have some other questions but maybe I'll ask those another time.

2099
02:50:05,840 --> 02:50:06,460
Okay, thank you.

2100
02:50:06,740 --> 02:50:07,680
Yeah, no problem.

2101
02:50:07,680 --> 02:50:08,660
Yes.

2102
02:50:09,100 --> 02:50:15,960
Since we're on the slide here, just the glaring larger of the two pie charts there, the

2103
02:50:15,960 --> 02:50:24,620
glaring disproportionality of African-American youth, I suspect that we should consider

2104
02:50:24,620 --> 02:50:32,540
the 54 percent that's shown there compared to the general population of that age cohort,

2105
02:50:32,540 --> 02:50:38,960
which I'm guessing is probably, I don't know, 11 to 14 percent, something like that.

2106
02:50:39,200 --> 02:50:46,220
And the county, is that, is that is there something that is a trend or a characteristic

2107
02:50:46,860 --> 02:50:51,900
elsewhere besides Sacramento County where you have a disproportionate number of African

2108
02:50:51,900 --> 02:50:58,420
American youth that are in these programs?

2109
02:50:58,420 --> 02:51:09,160
Yeah, so across the state of California, you will see in different counties issues of disproportionality in some counties that could be African American use youth in other counties.

2110
02:51:09,660 --> 02:51:19,420
It may be Latino youth or Native American, but disproportionality is something that is present and is actively being addressed.

2111
02:51:19,420 --> 02:51:25,540
I will say across the state of California because folks have been looking at the state and

2112
02:51:25,540 --> 02:51:30,180
they've been looking at what this is saying in regard to the community and the types of

2113
02:51:30,180 --> 02:51:33,700
services that are offered specifically in Sacramento County.

2114
02:51:34,440 --> 02:51:41,300
We have been tackling disproportionality of African American youth and there has been a lot

2115
02:51:41,300 --> 02:51:50,760
progress made in regard to reducing that number of youth who reflect as the disproportionate

2116
02:51:50,760 --> 02:51:56,000
number. But we continue, you just can't take your finger off the pulse. You have to keep

2117
02:51:56,000 --> 02:52:01,340
working at it. So we've employed things such as the Board is very aware, our cultural broker

2118
02:52:01,340 --> 02:52:09,020
program, we have different services and supports that come in to the home specifically from

2119
02:52:09,020 --> 02:52:11,700
the African-American community to help our youth.

2120
02:52:12,140 --> 02:52:14,240
There's a lot of upfront prevention work

2121
02:52:14,240 --> 02:52:23,840
that we are doing specific to the helping to keep kids home,

2122
02:52:24,000 --> 02:52:27,280
stabilize families to prevent kids from coming in.

2123
02:52:27,420 --> 02:52:29,140
So all of those kind of collective efforts

2124
02:52:29,140 --> 02:52:32,140
through in Sacramento County have definitely moved the dial

2125
02:52:32,140 --> 02:52:34,820
on what our data reflects today.

2126
02:52:35,420 --> 02:52:43,180
But it is something that across the state counties look at in terms of where are their disproportionate numbers.

2127
02:52:43,720 --> 02:52:52,160
Yeah, I'm glad to hear that we're moving the dial, but obviously the stats in front of us here tell us the story that there's a hell of a lot of work to do.

2128
02:52:52,700 --> 02:52:53,260
Absolutely.

2129
02:52:55,120 --> 02:52:58,780
Right, which is why we have to continue to keep focus.

2130
02:53:00,580 --> 02:53:07,920
Last thing on this slide that I wanted to comment on was, although for this quarter, the

2131
02:53:07,920 --> 02:53:13,160
daily census has been lower than past quarters, the length of stay has been longer

2132
02:53:13,160 --> 02:53:19,200
and that really speaks to the difficulty in locating placements for youth with higher needs.

2133
02:53:24,180 --> 02:53:30,180
And during the quarter two, welcome home presentation, there was a request for demographic.

2134
02:53:30,180 --> 02:53:35,580
There was a request for a comparison of our data overall for demographic purposes.

2135
02:53:36,300 --> 02:53:47,280
And so on this slide, what you'll see is a point, excuse me, that is a point in time data comparison between our contracted providers for race and ethnicity.

2136
02:53:48,520 --> 02:53:56,480
I do also want to say with all of the slides that are depicting the comparison data.

2137
02:53:56,480 --> 02:54:02,720
It's not necessarily apples to apples because the population served as much lower.

2138
02:54:03,240 --> 02:54:12,200
A lot of our contractor providers, all in fact, are still working up to being able to take full capacity of which they're licensed for.

2139
02:54:13,540 --> 02:54:20,780
So for this, you'll see that progress ranch and the children's receiving home, which were the two licensed providers during quarter three,

2140
02:54:21,980 --> 02:54:24,300
have considerably smaller populations.

2141
02:54:24,300 --> 02:54:25,600
Moving

2142
02:54:31,200 --> 02:54:37,740
on with the demographic comparison, this is specific to gender, and this is a point

2143
02:54:37,740 --> 02:54:43,400
in time data for our contractor providers in our Sacramento welcome homes.

2144
02:54:44,580 --> 02:54:49,620
The children's receiving home is utilized for boys, and that's why you will see that there

2145
02:54:49,620 --> 02:54:53,580
were no girls served there during this quarter.

2146
02:54:54,920 --> 02:54:58,580
That is also, I will just note, that's working out fairly well.

2147
02:54:58,580 --> 02:55:00,840
they're still working up to full capacity,

2148
02:55:01,560 --> 02:55:04,940
but being able to have a provider that takes boys

2149
02:55:04,940 --> 02:55:07,620
and if needed, they will take sibling sets.

2150
02:55:07,640 --> 02:55:10,060
They're just not fully up to capacity yet.

2151
02:55:15,560 --> 02:55:18,160
This slide depicts the discharge location,

2152
02:55:18,380 --> 02:55:23,200
which was also a request by this board from the last quarter.

2153
02:55:24,500 --> 02:55:26,480
And this, per the request,

2154
02:55:26,640 --> 02:55:29,120
does show the comparison by quarters.

2155
02:55:29,800 --> 02:55:32,920
The highest discharge location in the third quarter

2156
02:55:32,920 --> 02:55:34,960
of our Sacramento welcome homes,

2157
02:55:35,040 --> 02:55:37,340
was to other contracted providers.

2158
02:55:38,040 --> 02:55:39,860
To give a bit of context to that,

2159
02:55:39,860 --> 02:55:42,040
when a law enforcement removal occurs,

2160
02:55:44,040 --> 02:55:46,240
and in a circumstance where we are not able

2161
02:55:46,240 --> 02:55:48,520
to get the kids directly with family

2162
02:55:48,520 --> 02:55:51,840
or directly into an emergency foster home.

2163
02:55:51,960 --> 02:55:55,660
So typically the removals that occur late night overnight,

2164
02:55:56,460 --> 02:55:58,780
those kids will go to one of our welcome homes

2165
02:55:58,780 --> 02:56:00,720
and then they can be discharged

2166
02:56:00,720 --> 02:56:03,280
over to one of our contracted providers.

2167
02:56:07,660 --> 02:56:11,780
The next highest discharges is the unauthorized absences.

2168
02:56:13,040 --> 02:56:17,140
And then from there, foster family resource homes.

2169
02:56:22,980 --> 02:56:29,320
Survisual degrees? Melissa, have a question. So we recently closed a home, correct? Correct.

2170
02:56:29,320 --> 02:56:36,620
What were the reasons that we would close the home if there are needs that are occurring in our

2171
02:56:36,620 --> 02:56:44,740
So we reduce down to two homes from three for the Sacramento run, the ones that our department runs,

2172
02:56:45,220 --> 02:56:54,680
because we've been working on and have successfully had success in creating contracts with community providers.

2173
02:56:54,920 --> 02:57:04,560
So the goal overall is to reduce the Sacramento welcome homes and have this service done by contracted providers.

2174
02:57:04,560 --> 02:57:11,920
So, in quarter two we had two providers which is progress ranch and the children's receiving home.

2175
02:57:12,460 --> 02:57:19,340
Foster hope came open right at the beginning of April and that's the home that takes the girls, the females.

2176
02:57:20,140 --> 02:57:28,040
And so having that home open up has helped to for us to reduce down to two homes.

2177
02:57:30,100 --> 02:57:34,120
So we have, I think, a good way to describe it.

2178
02:57:34,120 --> 02:57:37,920
Supervisor Rodriguez is that there is need, but having

2179
02:57:37,920 --> 02:57:43,200
our contractor providers have availability, be licensed,

2180
02:57:43,420 --> 02:57:44,140
step in running.

2181
02:57:45,140 --> 02:57:48,140
None of our kids are left without a shelter option.

2182
02:57:49,000 --> 02:57:53,020
And can you help me understand one that is county operated

2183
02:57:53,020 --> 02:57:54,800
and one that is contracted operated?

2184
02:57:54,800 --> 02:57:59,360
What are the pros and cons to the county?

2185
02:58:00,940 --> 02:58:06,140
Overall, I will just say that child protective services,

2186
02:58:06,280 --> 02:58:09,300
like county department, which every county has them,

2187
02:58:09,380 --> 02:58:12,700
that has your social services, child protective services,

2188
02:58:13,400 --> 02:58:15,160
adult senior and adult services,

2189
02:58:15,340 --> 02:58:19,420
the way that we have our department of child family adult services.

2190
02:58:20,140 --> 02:58:21,700
They are not set up.

2191
02:58:21,700 --> 02:58:27,180
There was never the intention for counties to do direct care of children in youth.

2192
02:58:27,760 --> 02:58:34,720
So we utilize our contract of providers, whether those are foster family agencies or short-term

2193
02:58:34,720 --> 02:58:37,440
therapeutic residential settings.

2194
02:58:38,880 --> 02:58:47,460
But because of the circumstances from not having enough places for kids to go to be placed

2195
02:58:47,460 --> 02:58:53,880
And we had to create our welcome homes, stand that up,

2196
02:58:53,880 --> 02:58:57,660
and then work very diligently to work with partners

2197
02:58:57,660 --> 02:59:03,500
to have them stand up and get licensed, the other shelters.

2198
02:59:05,060 --> 02:59:07,460
The other factor is cost.

2199
02:59:07,720 --> 02:59:13,460
It's about $6 million annually for to run a Sacramento

2200
02:59:13,460 --> 02:59:20,180
welcome home, whereas with the contracted homes, it's about half the cost, it's between

2201
02:59:20,180 --> 02:59:27,060
three and four million, and the advantage with a contracted home is that they can contract

2202
02:59:27,060 --> 02:59:31,920
in our behavior health partners have been extraordinary in the work that they've done helping

2203
02:59:31,920 --> 02:59:37,720
with this. They are contract providers can get mental health contracts, and then they can pull

2204
02:59:37,720 --> 02:59:44,620
revenue down from Metacalf. So that's, that's the other, got it. Thank you. Yeah.

2205
02:59:50,220 --> 02:59:59,980
Okay. Moving on from the discharge, I will go into the incident report data for this quarter. This slide.

2206
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:10,880
Show the incidents and these are all reported. We are required to report these to community care licensing with the California Department of Social Services.

2207
03:00:12,700 --> 03:00:23,820
We had a total of 232 incidents, 222 of those incidents included unauthorized absences.

2208
03:00:23,820 --> 03:00:33,260
And out of those incidences, some of them are multi-layered because you can have one circumstance that involves several incidences.

2209
03:00:33,840 --> 03:00:38,940
But 208 of those incidences included law enforcement.

2210
03:00:39,300 --> 03:00:49,360
But as a reminder to the board, the department is required per licensing as our contract of providers to file missing persons reports.

2211
03:00:49,360 --> 03:00:55,780
and those missing persons reports are noted as law enforcement involvement.

2212
03:00:56,500 --> 03:00:57,600
So we're going to read Regus.

2213
03:00:57,940 --> 03:01:05,100
So Melissa, when there is a, when law enforcement is involved and the child basically becomes

2214
03:01:05,100 --> 03:01:07,220
a runaway is, is that correct?

2215
03:01:08,020 --> 03:01:13,580
Well, with an unauthorized absence, an unauthorized absence can be anywhere from five minutes

2216
03:01:13,580 --> 03:01:15,580
to over a day.

2217
03:01:15,580 --> 03:01:19,080
So we are required to file a missing person's report.

2218
03:01:19,920 --> 03:01:26,420
And if the child is picked up somewhere else, what happens to him or her?

2219
03:01:26,720 --> 03:01:30,180
We are contacted because when we file a missing person's report,

2220
03:01:30,760 --> 03:01:33,740
there is a, it's called an A-wall warrant.

2221
03:01:34,160 --> 03:01:39,020
So if a youth is found out in the community, law enforcement will run their information

2222
03:01:39,020 --> 03:01:42,720
and they will see that they are connected with the department

2223
03:01:42,720 --> 03:01:46,960
and then they contact us, they'll contact our hotline.

2224
03:01:47,440 --> 03:01:49,500
Sometimes the youth themselves will give them

2225
03:01:49,500 --> 03:01:52,280
the social workers' name and number directly,

2226
03:01:52,500 --> 03:01:54,340
but we're contacted and we make arrangements

2227
03:01:54,340 --> 03:01:55,420
with law enforcement.

2228
03:01:56,660 --> 03:02:00,040
And that's whether or not kids are at a welcome home,

2229
03:02:00,300 --> 03:02:02,420
or in any other type of placement setting.

2230
03:02:03,540 --> 03:02:07,080
What happens if a child doesn't want to go?

2231
03:02:07,220 --> 03:02:08,700
Does it want to go back to the home?

2232
03:02:09,720 --> 03:02:10,840
What happens at that?

2233
03:02:10,840 --> 03:02:12,700
If they were previously at a welcome home,

2234
03:02:12,700 --> 03:02:19,000
Yes. So what we do is we work our social workers will engage with them. They'll talk with them.

2235
03:02:19,200 --> 03:02:26,520
The reality is is that for a fair number of youth that go on an unauthorized absence,

2236
03:02:27,580 --> 03:02:32,500
because of having cell phones, because of having more immediate quick access,

2237
03:02:32,980 --> 03:02:37,860
there's some youth that will stay in touch with their social workers and they may say,

2238
03:02:37,860 --> 03:02:42,680
you know, over text or typically text, they don't really call anymore. I don't want to go back there.

2239
03:02:42,680 --> 03:02:49,840
I want to go to a different placement. I want to go here and so our social workers will work with the youth when they have that communication with them.

2240
03:02:50,160 --> 03:02:55,760
If it's as well as any of the service providers that are working with that youth at the time,

2241
03:02:55,940 --> 03:03:02,480
we can have a wrap around team working with the youth who then decides to go on an authorized absence,

2242
03:03:03,060 --> 03:03:07,080
we essentially have for every youth that's in care.

2243
03:03:07,080 --> 03:03:09,800
We have what's called a child and family team.

2244
03:03:10,260 --> 03:03:13,900
And that child and family team is comprised of the social worker,

2245
03:03:14,100 --> 03:03:17,520
the parent or parents, and all the service providers,

2246
03:03:18,200 --> 03:03:22,840
which often will include clinicians and different folks

2247
03:03:22,840 --> 03:03:24,780
that could include a cost of worker,

2248
03:03:25,540 --> 03:03:27,440
any mentors that are working with the youth.

2249
03:03:27,720 --> 03:03:33,200
And so essentially, for kids who tend to go,

2250
03:03:33,380 --> 03:03:35,540
on an authorized absence routinely,

2251
03:03:35,540 --> 03:03:40,760
There's typically a plan of harm reduction that the team is working on.

2252
03:03:40,760 --> 03:03:42,720
That also includes the child's attorney.

2253
03:03:43,360 --> 03:03:47,960
We keep our county council involved with what those plans of harm reduction are.

2254
03:03:48,440 --> 03:03:52,800
And so specifically for your question is, it's case by case.

2255
03:03:53,380 --> 03:03:58,220
We definitely take into account where a youth wants to go.

2256
03:03:58,400 --> 03:04:02,220
We are completely transparent with them if there are any barriers.

2257
03:04:02,220 --> 03:04:11,860
And then we also leverage their desire to go somewhere with sharing with them that there's cooperation needed overall.

2258
03:04:12,180 --> 03:04:20,600
Sometimes we have oftentimes we have placements for kids and they may not want to go to that placement, that specific placement.

2259
03:04:21,780 --> 03:04:29,500
But we work with them just kind of just working conjunction with them and team directly with them, their parents.

2260
03:04:29,500 --> 03:04:35,400
And then whoever they would like to be involved in that child and family team, we respect that.

2261
03:04:35,800 --> 03:04:40,860
So if they say, hey, I know my mom may not show up all the time, but I have an uncle.

2262
03:04:41,200 --> 03:04:45,220
And I want him to be part of it, or the social worker recognizes there's a relative.

2263
03:04:45,500 --> 03:04:48,400
Maybe the relative is local, maybe not local.

2264
03:04:48,740 --> 03:04:50,760
We have them joined those discussions.

2265
03:04:50,960 --> 03:04:55,800
Everything about the work that we do with kids, again with higher acuity of need,

2266
03:04:55,800 --> 03:04:59,500
the kids that go A-Wall is really from a harm reduction lens.

2267
03:04:59,900 --> 03:05:00,660
One more question.

2268
03:05:01,020 --> 03:05:02,100
I think consider it homeless.

2269
03:05:03,500 --> 03:05:06,240
When they go, when they're not,

2270
03:05:06,240 --> 03:05:08,060
yes, I think by definition, they would be.

2271
03:05:08,380 --> 03:05:10,040
Yeah, thank you very, thank you, Melissa.

2272
03:05:10,160 --> 03:05:10,740
You're welcome.

2273
03:05:13,180 --> 03:05:16,200
So the other six to go back to the incidences,

2274
03:05:16,360 --> 03:05:19,500
the other six incidents that involved law enforcement,

2275
03:05:20,420 --> 03:05:23,140
were medical emergencies or hospitalizations,

2276
03:05:23,140 --> 03:05:27,360
contraband, verbal altercations, and property damage.

2277
03:05:29,740 --> 03:05:32,020
Some of the contraband was vape pens,

2278
03:05:33,520 --> 03:05:41,440
alcohol, knife, marijuana, and all of those items were confiscated or the youth hand them over,

2279
03:05:41,740 --> 03:05:45,620
because the youth typically, you know, when they come back into a welcome home, they have to

2280
03:05:45,620 --> 03:05:53,920
provide that. Whatever that contraband is. And then the other category on the slide includes

2281
03:05:53,920 --> 03:06:03,920
incidents like vandalize youth items sometimes they'll be an incident because maybe a kid breaks

2282
03:06:03,920 --> 03:06:10,000
the property of another youth and we have to do an incident report on that. And then we did have one

2283
03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:18,400
to staff this quarter and we had a few medical emergencies due to substance use that resulted

2284
03:06:18,400 --> 03:06:20,100
in the youth being in the hospital.

2285
03:06:23,470 --> 03:06:26,810
The quarter three incident reports with comparison with

2286
03:06:26,810 --> 03:06:34,290
our partners. We do have this slide to provide to the board the comparison, but just a reminder

2287
03:06:34,290 --> 03:06:37,950
that the populations are vastly different.

2288
03:06:44,860 --> 03:06:52,000
This next slide shows the reporting data for community care licensing.

2289
03:06:52,360 --> 03:06:56,480
A couple of highlights from this is that our citations did decrease.

2290
03:06:57,100 --> 03:06:59,700
However, our complaint investigations increased.

2291
03:07:00,320 --> 03:07:05,800
We did find that some of the complaint investigations that community care licensing addressed

2292
03:07:05,800 --> 03:07:09,340
during quarter three were actually for the previous quarter.

2293
03:07:09,340 --> 03:07:20,640
We also had a higher number of overstays the length of stay at a licensed welcome home

2294
03:07:20,640 --> 03:07:30,660
is 10 days and although the number of youth was lower the youth we have at the welcome

2295
03:07:30,660 --> 03:07:37,280
homes have been those youth with high acuity and it's very difficult to find the placements

2296
03:07:37,280 --> 03:07:41,240
or have them go to placements,

2297
03:07:41,400 --> 03:07:43,520
sometimes they are not willing to go.

2298
03:07:46,500 --> 03:07:47,820
And moving toward the end here,

2299
03:07:47,900 --> 03:07:49,480
I just wanted to give an overview

2300
03:07:49,480 --> 03:07:52,500
of our placement capacity expansion efforts.

2301
03:07:54,180 --> 03:07:56,880
Overall, we are, and this is the work

2302
03:07:56,880 --> 03:07:58,500
that we've been doing hand in hand

2303
03:07:58,500 --> 03:08:00,140
with our behavioral health partners.

2304
03:08:01,300 --> 03:08:05,280
We have the emergency enhanced intensive services,

2305
03:08:05,280 --> 03:08:13,400
foster care homes. We have the enhanced intensive services foster care homes. The emergency,

2306
03:08:13,500 --> 03:08:19,420
one thing to know is that originally those were 30 day stays and they went up to 60 which

2307
03:08:19,420 --> 03:08:25,580
really is in the use best interest to have a little bit more stabilization time. And then we have

2308
03:08:25,580 --> 03:08:33,480
the additional contracted welcome homes that I talked about. And then on this next slide it shows

2309
03:08:33,480 --> 03:08:41,340
break down. We also have STRTPs. We have six dedicated beds that we have a contract for.

2310
03:08:41,640 --> 03:08:46,760
And overall, these are all contracts that we're working with local foster-family agency providers

2311
03:08:46,760 --> 03:08:53,100
and STRTP providers. And so currently in the works with different providers, we have a few

2312
03:08:53,100 --> 03:08:57,560
partners that have come from out of Sacramento County to come and work with Sacramento County.

2313
03:08:58,520 --> 03:09:10,760
We are what's in progress right now is an STRTP of two and two STRTPs of four, which will help with these efforts.

2314
03:09:11,640 --> 03:09:15,260
We have youth who want to stay local in Sacramento County.

2315
03:09:15,360 --> 03:09:23,520
This investment has been with very good intent to try and help expand this local capacity to help our youth stay local.

2316
03:09:23,520 --> 03:09:31,360
It helps them stay connected with family, and it helps them stay with their, the people they know and in their schools.

2317
03:09:34,600 --> 03:09:52,600
A couple of things to note in closing that I wanted to share was we continue to reduce the number of kids in foster care from January 1 of 24 to January 1 of 25.

2318
03:09:53,800 --> 03:10:05,600
We reduce the number of kids in foster care by 26% which reflects 301 kids and I'm very happy to share that our relative placement at this point is at 40%.

2319
03:10:06,380 --> 03:10:10,540
That concludes my presentation. I'm happy to answer any additional questions.

2320
03:10:13,340 --> 03:10:20,060
I just want to say thank you for all the hard work that you and your team do for these kids.

2321
03:10:20,940 --> 03:10:27,900
I worry about these this population because of when we look at preventive measures to homelessness.

2322
03:10:28,540 --> 03:10:37,980
These are the kids that are so much at risk and especially to I think it's concerning to me that 3-4 to these are females because females that enter into homelessness.

2323
03:10:37,980 --> 03:10:49,840
The rate of battery and rate is extremely high and so it just concerns me and my heart breaks that we have a high population of homelessness.

2324
03:10:50,220 --> 03:10:53,600
But I do have a question related to a need.

2325
03:10:54,200 --> 03:10:59,900
So we know that now there's a need for young females in this arena.

2326
03:10:59,900 --> 03:11:07,120
to give information out to the non-profits that have the ability to work around to

2327
03:11:07,120 --> 03:11:11,340
creating housing for this population.

2328
03:11:11,940 --> 03:11:17,500
Is that how the information gets out to non-profits that we have a need of young girls?

2329
03:11:17,800 --> 03:11:19,180
These are not even young.

2330
03:11:19,780 --> 03:11:21,720
They're underage to correct.

2331
03:11:21,880 --> 03:11:22,380
Correct.

2332
03:11:22,880 --> 03:11:24,040
We have their minors.

2333
03:11:24,040 --> 03:11:47,980
We do a lot of work with different partners around the needs for housing, we're very vocal about what is needed, we share data, and that's not only our county, I work with a lot of other, my colleagues in other counties because a lot of times kids in California are placed in various counties throughout California.

2334
03:11:47,980 --> 03:11:59,140
And so this is a topic that we routinely talk about at, I believe it was in quarter two that we spoke about the

2335
03:11:59,140 --> 03:12:04,160
THP minor program that we've been trying to get some movement on.

2336
03:12:04,280 --> 03:12:12,840
The challenges come down to really working with our state partners to help them understand the different challenges with funding.

2337
03:12:12,840 --> 03:12:26,200
There are very few and far between programs that are open to taking youth in general, that

2338
03:12:27,100 --> 03:12:33,780
has diminished quite a bit over the last 10 years in terms of congregate settings, but

2339
03:12:33,780 --> 03:12:39,360
we are having discussions and we're trying to be very creative around what we do, we're

2340
03:12:39,360 --> 03:12:43,260
We're routinely talking county to county about what we're doing,

2341
03:12:43,460 --> 03:12:49,420
how we might combine resources to create opportunities,

2342
03:12:49,900 --> 03:12:51,980
but some of it comes down to the funding.

2343
03:12:52,320 --> 03:12:55,700
We really want to see an increase in a THP minor program,

2344
03:12:56,060 --> 03:13:02,280
but the funding that exists is such that it would come from all county dollars,

2345
03:13:02,740 --> 03:13:05,980
versus foster care funding for placement.

2346
03:13:05,980 --> 03:13:14,800
So, there's a lot and I've engaged a lot with our state partners and they're very open to hearing what challenges we currently have.

2347
03:13:15,160 --> 03:13:17,840
Specifically, the work that we've done in Sacramento County.

2348
03:13:18,540 --> 03:13:32,980
There are different leaders at the state that myself, I know, our director Shelby has talked to because they're really starting to see what we're doing in Sacramento County and where we have come through these last few years.

2349
03:13:32,980 --> 03:13:44,820
And I think that it's helping them understand more about what is really needed to have the funding to address the types of placements that are needed.

2350
03:13:44,980 --> 03:13:57,480
And then concurrent to all of that, there's a tremendous amount of work being done to help families stay together and bring services to them so that we are not moving to family separation.

2351
03:13:57,480 --> 03:14:02,300
And that really is reflected in the data with the reduction of kids in care.

2352
03:14:03,680 --> 03:14:04,800
Thank you.

2353
03:14:05,280 --> 03:14:07,880
So thank you, Melissa, for the presentation.

2354
03:14:08,560 --> 03:14:17,040
You answered a number of questions that I had previous from I think a past presentation.

2355
03:14:17,380 --> 03:14:24,500
I think you did a fine job of kind of getting the weeds that we wanted you to get into here.

2356
03:14:24,500 --> 03:14:27,600
So we can understand this as best we can.

2357
03:14:30,180 --> 03:14:32,640
The, well, I think you mentioned 40%,

2358
03:14:32,640 --> 03:14:34,420
we're at 40% now family placement.

2359
03:14:35,960 --> 03:14:37,020
What's our objective?

2360
03:14:37,780 --> 03:14:40,780
I mean, do we have a mark, do we have a mark in mind?

2361
03:14:40,780 --> 03:14:42,180
Do we have a percentage in mind?

2362
03:14:42,540 --> 03:14:46,780
I know that this kind of began as being the,

2363
03:14:46,780 --> 03:14:49,960
having one of the lowest rates in the state.

2364
03:14:50,960 --> 03:14:54,060
And we were, I believe we were looking at LA County,

2365
03:14:54,740 --> 03:14:59,080
and what they were doing at the time to see how they kind of turned.

2366
03:15:01,740 --> 03:15:12,580
Turn their predicament around. So, where should it be? If it's 40 percent now, it's where should it be 50 percent, 60 percent?

2367
03:15:13,520 --> 03:15:29,100
In a perfect world, it would be a hundred percent. I think given, I think there is, it's important to understand that placement, being at 40 percent, I can say, very, I can say with full transparency.

2368
03:15:29,100 --> 03:15:36,740
I think probably 95% of our kids have relative connection, and so what we work on is bringing

2369
03:15:36,740 --> 03:15:41,440
those relative connections to then producing to placements whenever possible.

2370
03:15:43,240 --> 03:15:48,460
We would like, we've talked about internally at the department, putting a number on something.

2371
03:15:48,860 --> 03:15:54,360
We've really worked with our staff, with all of the different focus that we've had in the

2372
03:15:54,360 --> 03:15:59,680
the poor and really looking at casos and what's needed to help support getting to higher

2373
03:15:59,680 --> 03:16:00,260
numbers.

2374
03:16:00,920 --> 03:16:03,060
It's really just keeping that number going up.

2375
03:16:03,900 --> 03:16:12,200
I would be, I would be, related if we were at 75%, 80%, there are just some kids where

2376
03:16:12,200 --> 03:16:19,180
it's not, the opportunity is not there, but what we keep doing through training and use of

2377
03:16:19,180 --> 03:16:29,000
And learning from other counties, learning from other states is really what can we do to, again, reduce harm.

2378
03:16:29,980 --> 03:16:34,140
Bring families in to be connected if they can't go with family right away.

2379
03:16:34,420 --> 03:16:39,160
How do we work on a plan to eventually get them there so that that family connection is there?

2380
03:16:39,160 --> 03:16:46,100
When you say that there's, you know, a estimate of 95% of the kids have some family connection

2381
03:16:46,100 --> 03:16:53,120
opportunity, what do we know about that, though, is that, because not every family connection

2382
03:16:53,120 --> 03:16:57,720
necessarily is going to be a safe one or a productive one.

2383
03:16:58,300 --> 03:17:05,160
And so I assume that there is some type of screening protocol, so that you don't make an already

2384
03:17:05,160 --> 03:17:06,540
bad situation worse.

2385
03:17:06,540 --> 03:17:12,500
Absolutely is. We do have protocols for that and what we know in the work that we do

2386
03:17:12,500 --> 03:17:18,280
with child welfare is that there's a difference between there being a safety issue if you're going

2387
03:17:18,280 --> 03:17:25,480
to place a child in the care of a relative versus having them stay connected. There are relatives

2388
03:17:25,480 --> 03:17:31,920
that we work with who may never pass a background check even with the different waivers that

2389
03:17:31,920 --> 03:17:39,180
but they may call that youth in times of trouble or the youth may call them and they demonstrate

2390
03:17:39,180 --> 03:17:45,840
the ability to engage with their needs or their nephew or their grandson or granddaughter

2391
03:17:45,840 --> 03:17:51,500
to be able to help encourage them, help them remain in placement if they're thinking about leaving

2392
03:17:51,500 --> 03:18:00,180
placement. We also know that when kids leave foster placement, whether they go back with a parent

2393
03:18:00,180 --> 03:18:07,480
or they age out of the system, most often what we have learned with engaging with just in the

2394
03:18:07,480 --> 03:18:12,820
community, and then agencies who really focus on working with people with lived experience

2395
03:18:12,820 --> 03:18:19,120
is that most kids go back to some type of family member. They may not go back to live with them,

2396
03:18:19,200 --> 03:18:25,020
but they'll go back and continue a connection with them. So we really feel like we have such a great

2397
03:18:25,020 --> 03:18:31,340
opportunity to help bridge some challenges within families, because sometimes you may hear something

2398
03:18:31,340 --> 03:18:35,520
about a relative, and you might think, oh, there's no way this is going to work out.

2399
03:18:35,700 --> 03:18:41,240
But as we continue to engage with relatives, with, of course, always looking at can this

2400
03:18:41,240 --> 03:18:47,440
be a viable safe placement, but engage with them in a way where we're bringing them into

2401
03:18:48,500 --> 03:18:52,600
that team that I was describing earlier, we're bringing them in and we're showing them that

2402
03:18:52,600 --> 03:18:59,520
value and we want to hear because those relatives can also give a tremendous amount of information

2403
03:18:59,520 --> 03:19:06,100
to us that help us make better decisions for the entire family and they can also help uncover

2404
03:19:06,100 --> 03:19:12,120
other relatives or because again in the state of California the definition of relative includes

2405
03:19:12,120 --> 03:19:19,520
people who are not blood related but that have a familiar relationship. They can help uncover and kind

2406
03:19:19,520 --> 03:19:24,900
bring that trust from family who may not have wanted to come to the department's attention

2407
03:19:24,900 --> 03:19:29,540
because we're a system that some people may have not had a great experience with.

2408
03:19:31,200 --> 03:19:32,500
All right, thank you.

2409
03:19:32,620 --> 03:19:33,100
You're welcome.

2410
03:19:33,420 --> 03:19:38,180
Supervisor Desmond, excuse me, Mr. Chair, and I know you want to hot the last word you're

2411
03:19:38,180 --> 03:19:43,560
apologize. I want to thank you also Melissa, certainly, for all of your work continuing

2412
03:19:43,560 --> 03:19:48,640
engagement with our offices and certainly members of the community as well. You've made yourself

2413
03:19:48,640 --> 03:19:57,200
continue to make yourself available to deal with any issues and certainly most importantly your work with John the child welfare in the child welfare area

2414
03:19:57,200 --> 03:20:02,060
a conversation I had with Chavon actually recently I was approached by C-Sack leadership

2415
03:20:02,060 --> 03:20:08,560
They want to come to Sacramento to maybe two or some of our social services programs are better

2416
03:20:08,560 --> 03:20:14,740
Understand some of our programs and we talked a lot about really highlighting some of the great work we've done on homelessness

2417
03:20:14,740 --> 03:20:17,840
as both in terms of our housing continuum efforts

2418
03:20:17,840 --> 03:20:19,720
and our behavioral health continuum efforts,

2419
03:20:20,420 --> 03:20:21,440
also highlight our challenges,

2420
03:20:22,020 --> 03:20:23,760
but in the child welfare space as well.

2421
03:20:23,980 --> 03:20:25,180
I mean, I think having the discussion

2422
03:20:25,180 --> 03:20:27,220
with them and a really frank discussion

2423
03:20:27,220 --> 03:20:28,580
about our challenges here in Sacramento,

2424
03:20:28,700 --> 03:20:30,840
but that will help always help inform,

2425
03:20:30,860 --> 03:20:33,240
I think some of the advocacy efforts at C-SAC,

2426
03:20:33,440 --> 03:20:35,580
so I think this should be part of that

2427
03:20:35,580 --> 03:20:38,300
when this, as we've explored with that effort

2428
03:20:38,300 --> 03:20:39,720
by C-SAC leadership sample.

2429
03:20:39,800 --> 03:20:40,380
Thank you.

2430
03:20:40,520 --> 03:20:41,620
Thank you very much.

2431
03:20:42,260 --> 03:20:42,900
All right, very good.

2432
03:20:42,900 --> 03:20:43,640
Thank you, Melissa.

2433
03:20:44,260 --> 03:20:46,220
Madam, could we have anyone sign for speak on this matter?

2434
03:20:46,280 --> 03:20:47,180
Thank you.

2435
03:20:53,620 --> 03:20:57,060
No, not for item 44, but for item 45, we do.

2436
03:20:58,240 --> 03:20:58,560
Okay.

2437
03:20:59,960 --> 03:21:02,860
All right, so we have both, that was both the receive and file,

2438
03:21:03,120 --> 03:21:06,860
and we do need to entertain a motion on the resolution.

2439
03:21:07,960 --> 03:21:09,520
Charal move, is there a second?

2440
03:21:10,360 --> 03:21:12,100
It's been moved in second, please vote.

2441
03:21:13,600 --> 03:21:15,320
You know, I'm gonna vote with those members present.

2442
03:21:16,360 --> 03:21:16,660
All right.

2443
03:21:17,420 --> 03:21:36,260
Okay, now for item 45 you're acting as the Board of Supervisors, approve the formation of the Sacramento County Behavioral Health Commission and Associated by Laws and the Disolution of the Sacramento County Mental Health Board and Sacramento County Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board and Compliance with the Behavioral Health Services Act.

2444
03:21:36,580 --> 03:21:40,560
First of all, again, say shame on us, we're not wearing the grain.

2445
03:21:42,280 --> 03:21:50,460
We usually don't miss that queue each year, but it's good to see that staff is at least listening here.

2446
03:21:51,220 --> 03:21:52,100
And I'll thank Mr. President.

2447
03:21:52,100 --> 03:21:53,680
I think everybody wore it last week.

2448
03:21:55,660 --> 03:21:55,820
All right.

2449
03:21:56,120 --> 03:21:56,400
All right.

2450
03:21:56,400 --> 03:21:57,320
Good afternoon, everyone.

2451
03:21:58,500 --> 03:22:02,120
Board members, Ryan Quest, behavioral health director for Sacramento County.

2452
03:22:02,620 --> 03:22:07,080
Today, coming before you to talk about our behavioral health commission work.

2453
03:22:09,480 --> 03:22:14,080
Historically, our advisory boards have been comprised of our mental health board, which was

2454
03:22:14,080 --> 03:22:15,940
actually mandated by law.

2455
03:22:16,420 --> 03:22:20,900
I'm going back at least until 2004 in a part of welfare and institutes in codes.

2456
03:22:21,660 --> 03:22:26,260
And then our other advisory board has been our alcohol and drug advisory board, which was not

2457
03:22:26,260 --> 03:22:30,960
a mandated advisory board, but one that has been very valued and providing lots of great advice

2458
03:22:30,960 --> 03:22:32,940
to our board of supervisors over the years.

2459
03:22:32,940 --> 03:22:39,960
As a part of proposition one that passed is a part of the voter initiative, it did put into place

2460
03:22:40,760 --> 03:22:50,060
a requirement that we have an advisory board that includes advising on both mental health and substance use prevention and treatment topics.

2461
03:22:50,920 --> 03:23:00,720
And so about a year ago we began the work of bringing together the two advisory boards to have a conversation around what this

2462
03:23:00,720 --> 03:23:06,660
look like for Sacramento County. We brought in a facilitator who got us kicked off in that

2463
03:23:06,660 --> 03:23:11,700
initiative. Ultimately, what came out of that were the separate recommendations were approved

2464
03:23:11,700 --> 03:23:15,480
by the mental health board and by the alcohol drug advisory board, which are included in the materials

2465
03:23:15,480 --> 03:23:23,380
that were provided to you. They are in many ways, very similar, and also they also vary from one

2466
03:23:23,380 --> 03:23:29,980
another in some ways. Based on the recommendations that came from the two boards, we worked together

2467
03:23:29,980 --> 03:23:34,200
with County Council to make sure we're meeting all the requirements that are already required

2468
03:23:34,200 --> 03:23:38,700
in the welfare and institution code and put together the recommendations that are before you

2469
03:23:38,700 --> 03:23:45,800
today. And at the end of this presentation, we're hoping to move forward with your blessing

2470
03:23:45,800 --> 03:23:50,120
in terms of forming the Behavioral Health Commission, dissolving the mental health board and

2471
03:23:50,120 --> 03:23:54,360
alcohol drug advisory board, and then approving our initial commission by laws.

2472
03:23:55,360 --> 03:24:04,580
So there were a few decision points in walking through this and so I'm sort of created the slides around those different decision points.

2473
03:24:05,100 --> 03:24:10,680
First decision point to consider is what should the membership look like.

2474
03:24:11,240 --> 03:24:18,440
Well for an institution code specifically defined the membership as being 15 to 15 members.

2475
03:24:18,440 --> 03:24:24,840
with 50% being consumers or family members of consumers of behavioral health services.

2476
03:24:25,420 --> 03:24:31,780
They didn't limit us from going above that, but it's basically recommending that we would have at least 10 members.

2477
03:24:32,660 --> 03:24:37,800
And so based on the different feedback that we received from the Mental Health Board and Alcohol Drug Advisory Board,

2478
03:24:38,100 --> 03:24:42,920
we brought forward a proposal that would recommend a total of 21 member seats.

2479
03:24:42,920 --> 03:24:50,700
comprised of one board of supervisor member who is an exefficio member, five consumers, one from

2480
03:24:50,700 --> 03:24:57,400
each board district, five family members of consumers, one from each district, and then ten

2481
03:24:57,400 --> 03:25:03,320
public interest representatives, two from each district. One of the places where the two different

2482
03:25:03,320 --> 03:25:10,480
proposals did have some differences was alcohol drug advisory board did recommend some exefficio

2483
03:25:10,480 --> 03:25:17,820
member seats that were comprised of representatives from some of our sister agencies within the county.

2484
03:25:18,560 --> 03:25:23,500
And so, basically, the way that we are trying to resolve that is looking at the welfare and

2485
03:25:23,500 --> 03:25:29,260
institution code. There was really only one ex officio member that was defined in the code,

2486
03:25:29,420 --> 03:25:37,840
and that was for the board member. But then the code also specifically indicates that there should be

2487
03:25:37,840 --> 03:25:44,900
involvement, including recruitment of representatives to be present and participate in discussions

2488
03:25:44,900 --> 03:25:50,680
at the Commission meetings, including individuals with lived experience with mental illness,

2489
03:25:50,700 --> 03:25:55,620
substance use disorder, or both, their families, advocacy, organizations, behavioral health

2490
03:25:55,620 --> 03:26:01,780
professionals, professionals not that do not interact with individuals, I mean, I'm sorry,

2491
03:26:02,060 --> 03:26:07,100
any professionals that interact with individuals with mental illness or substance use disorders

2492
03:26:07,100 --> 03:26:13,380
on a daily basis, education, emergency services, social services, adult, older adults, transportation,

2493
03:26:13,680 --> 03:26:14,700
veterans and so forth.

2494
03:26:15,100 --> 03:26:22,920
So basically, the welfare and institution code does encourage that these different perspectives

2495
03:26:22,920 --> 03:26:24,860
and voices are included.

2496
03:26:25,540 --> 03:26:31,040
And so rather than requiring permanent ex officio committee seats, our recommendation that

2497
03:26:31,040 --> 03:26:35,780
we put together, welcomes the commission to be active in following the portion of the law

2498
03:26:35,780 --> 03:26:42,020
encourages the involvement of diverse community member involvement at all stages of the various

2499
03:26:42,020 --> 03:26:46,740
board meetings and committee meetings. So that's sort of how we tried to resolve that

2500
03:26:46,740 --> 03:26:52,780
without getting too large of a required membership defined within the actual bylaws.

2501
03:26:53,020 --> 03:27:00,540
Dr. Quest before you continue. I'll show my cards a little earlier. I think 21 members for anything is

2502
03:27:01,320 --> 03:27:09,400
So, I, with regard to the suggestion that there'd be 10 public interest representatives to from each district,

2503
03:27:10,080 --> 03:27:14,360
what's the rationale for two from each district? Why not one from each district?

2504
03:27:14,700 --> 03:27:16,900
And for a total of 16 versus 21.

2505
03:27:18,120 --> 03:27:25,300
Part of the consideration was the idea that we do have two existing boards, mental health board,

2506
03:27:25,300 --> 03:27:32,900
and alcohol drug advisory board with whom there are members, we greatly value and appreciate

2507
03:27:32,900 --> 03:27:39,620
all their investment to this process over the time and wanting to give room for there to be

2508
03:27:39,620 --> 03:27:46,520
sufficient representation from both of our existing boards. That was part of the thought process.

2509
03:27:46,520 --> 03:28:06,720
Okay, was there discussion when there was focused discussion on kind of the reconstitute or the combined advisory body about just the kind of the management

2510
03:28:08,900 --> 03:28:16,700
meeting management as it relates to the size of the total advisory body. I mean, the more

2511
03:28:16,700 --> 03:28:25,600
people you have, sometimes the more challenging it can be. And not only just running and

2512
03:28:25,600 --> 03:28:32,760
getting through the meetings, it could also be challenging for us to find members, as you

2513
03:28:32,760 --> 03:28:38,140
know from every board meeting when you hear us go through nominations and you have the same

2514
03:28:38,140 --> 03:28:44,300
vacancies. So I just want to understand if there's a good reason behind the number

2515
03:28:44,300 --> 03:28:55,420
then I guess I'm fine with it. But if it's really what if the number reflects really an effort

2516
03:28:55,420 --> 03:29:04,480
to kind of not exclude folks, then maybe there's some opportunity to have a discussion

2517
03:29:04,480 --> 03:29:07,300
up here about whether that's the right thing to do.

2518
03:29:07,820 --> 03:29:14,260
But was there any kind of conversation at some point about just kind of meeting management

2519
03:29:15,200 --> 03:29:19,680
and in the complexities of having a larger body versus a smaller one?

2520
03:29:19,680 --> 03:29:30,340
This was something we did contemplate regarding both meeting management as well as enough space for people to feel like they're able to contribute to the conversation.

2521
03:29:31,020 --> 03:29:34,560
And that was something that we did definitely consider.

2522
03:29:34,840 --> 03:29:48,920
I think ultimately the concern was feeling like that there were going to be people not enough seats coming from both of the existing boards to be able to honor their ongoing voices and contributions to the topic.

2523
03:29:48,920 --> 03:29:56,580
Was there also a discussion about making sure that you, that there's an awareness about

2524
03:29:57,980 --> 03:29:58,900
Quorum establishment?

2525
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:03,100
Okay. Surveillance or degrees?

2526
03:30:04,420 --> 03:30:19,380
Yeah, I'm going to agree with chair sir. Now that 21 is, it is a large group. And we'll become a very long meeting, which is fine because I think this is a very important topic.

2527
03:30:20,400 --> 03:30:29,400
But if there were any changes, you know, having five family members, one from your district, and five public interest representatives, one from your district,

2528
03:30:29,400 --> 03:30:37,060
is that would be a reduction of five, bringing it to a 16, which is, I think, a workable

2529
03:30:37,800 --> 03:30:43,260
number, but that's just my two cents. And also I just want to, while I have the mic,

2530
03:30:43,700 --> 03:30:52,500
is that I've been on this commission and as we make a decision, I'd love to remain on this commission

2531
03:30:55,660 --> 03:30:57,100
Thank you.

2532
03:30:57,100 --> 03:30:58,120
Thank you.

2533
03:31:00,230 --> 03:31:00,750
Thank you.

2534
03:31:00,870 --> 03:31:04,790
There are also some other required membership.

2535
03:31:05,150 --> 03:31:07,070
There are also some other membership requirements.

2536
03:31:07,570 --> 03:31:14,150
We're also supposed to have a representative of a veteran use and a representative from our local education.

2537
03:31:15,090 --> 03:31:22,070
We did not add additional seats to the 21 in order to be specifically identified for those different

2538
03:31:22,930 --> 03:31:24,130
specific perspectives.

2539
03:31:24,690 --> 03:31:30,390
Instead, we are recommending that the, the 21 that we originally recommended would,

2540
03:31:30,630 --> 03:31:34,690
would any of those 21 would be able to be counted towards one of these.

2541
03:31:34,810 --> 03:31:41,510
So for example, right now, I believe we have a veteran that is sitting in one of our family member seats.

2542
03:31:41,590 --> 03:31:42,650
I hope that's accurate.

2543
03:31:43,690 --> 03:31:50,850
And so that, for example, would be both meeting the requirement for the family member seat as well as for representing the veteran perspective.

2544
03:31:53,320 --> 03:32:00,740
So that's membership. I'll keep going. I imagine you'll want to have conversation around where you want to land on that topic.

2545
03:32:01,760 --> 03:32:08,320
In terms of terms of service, the welfare and institution code does require that member serve three year terms.

2546
03:32:08,900 --> 03:32:17,980
And we're proposing that we would stagger one third of each appointments to expire each year so they don't all expire at the same time.

2547
03:32:17,980 --> 03:32:24,100
For inaugural members, we're going to have to identify individuals who will be one, two, and three

2548
03:32:24,100 --> 03:32:28,000
year terms so that once again we establish the staggering requirements over time.

2549
03:32:28,040 --> 03:32:31,220
That's why you want to 21, right? So nice to see you in division.

2550
03:32:33,420 --> 03:32:41,760
And then finally we did, we are proposing that there would be a term limit of two consecutive full terms

2551
03:32:41,760 --> 03:32:57,440
with individuals being eligible for reappointment after a one-year break, the rationale for that being that it would promote diversity and give new individuals an opportunity to serve and be part of this amazing work.

2552
03:32:59,850 --> 03:33:05,510
Our initial proposal for setting up our standing committees.

2553
03:33:05,510 --> 03:33:11,290
Basically, welfare and institution code does not have specific requirements for any standing

2554
03:33:11,290 --> 03:33:11,730
committees.

2555
03:33:12,370 --> 03:33:20,570
It does say that the commission may include an executive committee, but it does not have

2556
03:33:20,570 --> 03:33:23,350
any actual requirements for which committees we have to have.

2557
03:33:23,790 --> 03:33:29,850
So the proposal we brought before you, we tried to be straightforward and include executive

2558
03:33:29,850 --> 03:33:34,850
committee, adult prevention and treatment committee, children's prevention and treatment

2559
03:33:34,850 --> 03:33:41,290
committee and then finally crisis injustice involved continual committee and the commission

2560
03:33:41,290 --> 03:33:46,350
would have the ability to create ad hoc committees at any time that they wanted to in order

2561
03:33:46,350 --> 03:33:51,970
to focus on specific topics. I'm just pause here and recognize that I know that there was

2562
03:33:51,970 --> 03:33:56,530
some general public comment that was submitted to the board prior to this meeting regarding

2563
03:33:56,530 --> 03:34:03,530
the rationale for why the crisis injustice involved continual committee was proposed as a

2564
03:34:03,530 --> 03:34:11,110
combined committee. I think the main rationale behind that was, is I think now, it's been

2565
03:34:11,110 --> 03:34:18,750
pretty common for us to be really talking about this as a broad continuum. As we know

2566
03:34:18,750 --> 03:34:26,150
with the change in our sheriff's policy, as it relates to working with those with mental health challenges,

2567
03:34:27,010 --> 03:34:33,070
that did require us to have some in-depth conversations around how we're responding as a behavior

2568
03:34:33,070 --> 03:34:41,690
health system to crises. We're also seeing that these conversations are often coming up

2569
03:34:41,690 --> 03:34:47,510
in multiple contexts. The idea behind having one committee that would have these conversations

2570
03:34:47,510 --> 03:34:53,610
was to try to unsylo and be able to have those conversations across the full continuum,

2571
03:34:54,050 --> 03:34:59,050
all in one committee rather than setting up different silos for those different conversations.

2572
03:35:00,410 --> 03:35:08,630
Okay, so if I was kind of neat, did you, okay, so I'm going to chime in here.

2573
03:35:10,050 --> 03:35:15,890
So I know the public comment that you're referencing Dr. Quest, I want to understand

2574
03:35:15,890 --> 03:35:18,870
it's a little bit better than what you just offered.

2575
03:35:20,090 --> 03:35:29,030
So currently, what's the difference, can you be summarized that difference between

2576
03:35:29,030 --> 03:35:42,470
how crisis is addressed currently from the two respective advisory bodies relative to especially

2577
03:35:42,470 --> 03:35:49,330
relative to the fact that our sheriff has made it clear that there's an interest on behalf

2578
03:35:49,330 --> 03:35:58,150
of his department to do things very differently in terms of how they would not respond to

2579
03:35:58,150 --> 03:36:00,730
some crisis situations?

2580
03:36:02,410 --> 03:36:06,030
Currently, both, I believe both advisory boards

2581
03:36:06,030 --> 03:36:07,630
have a justice committee.

2582
03:36:08,950 --> 03:36:11,650
And I know, I'll call drug advisory board does.

2583
03:36:12,030 --> 03:36:14,870
I'm thinking, I believe the mental health board does as well.

2584
03:36:15,990 --> 03:36:18,790
And both in both sets of recommendations from both boards,

2585
03:36:18,790 --> 03:36:21,370
I know that they both recommended a justice committee.

2586
03:36:22,630 --> 03:36:26,210
In terms of crisis, there's not just a crisis continuum

2587
03:36:26,210 --> 03:36:31,770
committee on either, on the mental health board side, though, we do have an advisory committee

2588
03:36:31,770 --> 03:36:34,850
that's specific to our community wellness and response team.

2589
03:36:35,270 --> 03:36:40,910
That is a very unique sort of advisory role because it's an advisory committee for one

2590
03:36:40,910 --> 03:36:47,610
specific program, and so in this recommendation we're proposing to expand it beyond a focus

2591
03:36:47,610 --> 03:36:53,810
on one individual program to really be focusing on the full continuum of programs that are

2592
03:36:53,810 --> 03:36:55,750
relevant to that particular topic.

2593
03:36:55,750 --> 03:37:03,110
So the proposal of the recommendation would involve the dissolution of the CWRT?

2594
03:37:03,110 --> 03:37:04,070
Yes, that way.

2595
03:37:05,070 --> 03:37:14,690
So I have received not just the one email that I think you're referencing that that be preserved

2596
03:37:14,690 --> 03:37:23,250
or it suggests it'd be preserved, but I've had some early morning electronic communication

2597
03:37:23,250 --> 03:37:37,770
with someone who's very close to this and kind of underscored how beneficial the CWRT has been.

2598
03:37:38,370 --> 03:37:47,310
And I just need to understand what the practical implications are if it's going to be dissolved and replaced with something,

2599
03:37:47,310 --> 03:37:58,350
especially with the backdrop of, again, what the sheriff is seeking to do and also as we

2600
03:37:58,350 --> 03:38:06,570
intend to continue to, I presume, we have a very robust 1980, you know, environment and

2601
03:38:06,570 --> 03:38:15,350
protocol. So, I guess what I'm asking is, from the, hopefully, the robust discussions

2602
03:38:15,350 --> 03:38:21,050
that we're had before this recommendation came to us, what was some of that back and forth

2603
03:38:21,050 --> 03:38:25,450
in terms of the consideration of the benefit to changing it?

2604
03:38:26,030 --> 03:38:31,690
The CWRT Advisory Committee has been extremely valuable in helping us initiate the community

2605
03:38:31,690 --> 03:38:36,910
wellness response team program and helping us get it up and off the ground, helping advise

2606
03:38:36,910 --> 03:38:42,170
us in what that should look like. So I want to first of all thank them for all their contributions.

2607
03:38:42,170 --> 03:38:48,610
And then the follow-up to that, though, is that we do have a broader crisis continuum.

2608
03:38:49,250 --> 03:38:57,530
And so the concept and also, the CWRT was not conversation was not always being limited

2609
03:38:57,530 --> 03:39:00,530
to just the CWRT advisory committee.

2610
03:39:00,550 --> 03:39:03,650
It was coming up across a number of different contexts.

2611
03:39:04,350 --> 03:39:11,670
And then also, CWRT program itself sits within a broader continuum of crisis programming.

2612
03:39:11,670 --> 03:39:23,750
And so, in terms of specifically responding to the change in policy from our sheriff, we're really having to look at our entire crisis continuum regarding all the different ways that we're doing that.

2613
03:39:23,770 --> 03:39:35,110
We can see that in our supporting of the alternative destinations, protocols that we're working on having the treatment center and CSUs,

2614
03:39:35,110 --> 03:39:41,070
be as alternative destinations for drop-off of individuals.

2615
03:39:41,990 --> 03:39:47,730
We can see that in terms of our urgent care program, crisis receiving from our crib program.

2616
03:39:48,290 --> 03:39:53,730
These are all part of our crisis continuum and all I think part of the conversation

2617
03:39:53,730 --> 03:40:00,050
and so really wanting to have that broader conversation as well as being able to be flexible

2618
03:40:00,050 --> 03:40:06,210
and responsive to any future changes or rising needs from

2619
03:40:06,210 --> 03:40:09,370
community around the entire crisis continuum.

2620
03:40:10,270 --> 03:40:16,210
With the current system in place that community wellness and response

2621
03:40:16,210 --> 03:40:24,270
team, my understanding is that it does rely somewhat or it may

2622
03:40:24,270 --> 03:40:27,750
substantially on our partnership with Wallspace.

2623
03:40:27,830 --> 03:40:28,250
Correct.

2624
03:40:28,250 --> 03:40:43,290
So under this new model, how does well space fit into that or what changes for that partnership, I guess?

2625
03:40:43,950 --> 03:40:52,050
I hope that partnership continues to grow and thrive as a part of the conversation across our entire continuum.

2626
03:40:52,050 --> 03:40:55,670
because well-space not only runs our 988 call center,

2627
03:40:56,030 --> 03:40:57,510
but also, for example, operates

2628
03:40:57,510 --> 03:41:00,530
that crisis receiving behavioral health crib program,

2629
03:41:00,990 --> 03:41:03,690
as well as contemplating other programs

2630
03:41:03,690 --> 03:41:06,790
into the future that we might be partnering with well-space.

2631
03:41:07,070 --> 03:41:10,910
Have there been early discussions with Mr. Portius

2632
03:41:10,910 --> 03:41:12,730
about what that looks like?

2633
03:41:13,730 --> 03:41:15,890
We were texting this morning.

2634
03:41:16,830 --> 03:41:17,350
So, is that so?

2635
03:41:17,350 --> 03:41:17,830
Is that so?

2636
03:41:19,690 --> 03:41:39,770
So, no, I'm not sure it's necessarily, I mean, it feels like we're kind of dancing on the head of a pin here, it seems very precarious just because there's so many things that seem to be changing in real time relative to how do we adequately and safely respond to crisis, right?

2637
03:41:39,770 --> 03:41:44,710
from the standpoint as it's been being a kid from the Sheriff's standpoint is safety for

2638
03:41:44,710 --> 03:41:45,990
their officers.

2639
03:41:49,930 --> 03:41:56,210
I was just going to say, Tim Blutz, Director of Health Services, maybe can respond a little

2640
03:41:56,210 --> 03:42:01,430
bit to that question and hopefully provide a little bit of clarity because I think the

2641
03:42:01,430 --> 03:42:07,130
important thing to remember, you have CWRT advisory and then you have our CWRT program.

2642
03:42:07,130 --> 03:42:16,290
The partnership at Work With Well Space is very much embedded in the CWRT program and that has

2643
03:42:16,290 --> 03:42:24,410
to continue to evolve, things like the MOU today working with the sheriff, the 911 Interoperability.

2644
03:42:24,910 --> 03:42:29,330
All of those things will continue to be built up and enhanced.

2645
03:42:29,330 --> 03:42:37,330
I think what we're, what Dr. Quist is noting and why we were looking at some of this change is

2646
03:42:37,890 --> 03:42:53,470
in part of where you have CWRT advisory that's advising a single program that works within a much broader context of our response.

2647
03:42:53,470 --> 03:43:03,490
That includes the CCIT, which is our right-along program with law enforcement, other areas that work closely with this system.

2648
03:43:04,490 --> 03:43:15,970
So sometimes I think there's some confusion even amongst our team members when CBRT advisory has recommendations versus the actual CBRT program.

2649
03:43:16,410 --> 03:43:21,490
Right now, I don't know how often well space is involved with the advisory committee itself.

2650
03:43:21,490 --> 03:43:29,410
I mean okay to for reporting out on their statistics we we still want that form and we would expect

2651
03:43:29,410 --> 03:43:36,750
through this this new committee that you're going to have that same level of communication engagement.

2652
03:43:37,430 --> 03:43:44,890
Is there anything that would need or should be formalized to take the guesswork out of

2653
03:43:44,890 --> 03:43:47,210
How we're not going to skip a beat?

2654
03:43:48,670 --> 03:43:52,650
I'm we can bring back similar to like CBRT advisory

2655
03:43:52,650 --> 03:43:56,130
developed a set of bylaws, specifically for that group.

2656
03:43:56,130 --> 03:44:01,130
I think if we take those and in a similar fashion,

2657
03:44:01,310 --> 03:44:03,870
basically build off that to make sure we're not skipping

2658
03:44:03,870 --> 03:44:06,770
skipping a beat. I completely agree.

2659
03:44:06,870 --> 03:44:08,870
Okay, I know who was, who can't he's either

2660
03:44:08,870 --> 03:44:09,950
to chime in on the subject.

2661
03:44:10,790 --> 03:44:11,550
Thank you, Chair.

2662
03:44:12,310 --> 03:44:21,030
Yeah, first of all, both Tim, Dr. Clist, I appreciate your answers because you made my comments

2663
03:44:21,030 --> 03:44:27,270
much shorter. I think you took a, you synthesized a very long conversation that was happening

2664
03:44:27,270 --> 03:44:33,910
a year ago, started a year ago or so, and synthesized it down to exactly where it's

2665
03:44:33,910 --> 03:44:39,030
had my, I actually, you know, and I was going to wake up at the end, but since it's here and

2666
03:44:39,030 --> 03:44:44,190
started asking questions on it. The crisis in Justin Vols continued in committee. I think

2667
03:44:44,190 --> 03:44:49,650
it's a great idea, because it doesn't treat the CWRT as something that's separate,

2668
03:44:49,990 --> 03:44:54,890
something that's different, because it's not. Particularly with the advent and the up and running

2669
03:44:54,890 --> 03:44:59,970
of 988. It more formalizes that the CWRT will be

2670
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:21,760
The part of it, in conjunction with these other efforts, including 988, I've had meetings with the sheriffs since they've come out with their policy with 988 well-space behavioral health staff on this subject, and I think this is a way to better integrate CWRT into the process and not just make it something else.

2671
03:45:21,760 --> 03:45:27,160
I mean, if you even talk to, you've probably seen chair, if you got it, if you have the

2672
03:45:27,160 --> 03:45:31,580
texts, you know, the meetings I've had with Wellspace, since 98's been up and running.

2673
03:45:32,240 --> 03:45:37,460
Very few calls need to actually go to CWRT, so it's really just a component, it's not

2674
03:45:37,460 --> 03:45:38,140
a separate thing.

2675
03:45:38,280 --> 03:45:44,320
I mean, like a small percentage, most can be handled by 988 over the phone, a very small

2676
03:45:44,320 --> 03:45:48,180
percentage goes CWRT, and even smaller percentage goes to law enforcement.

2677
03:45:48,180 --> 03:45:55,040
So, I think by, you know, creating this whole continuum committee, you're actually institutionalizing

2678
03:45:56,040 --> 03:46:01,840
CWRT in a way that it never has been before, and it's not being treated like some kind of a stepchild that operates separately.

2679
03:46:02,380 --> 03:46:03,840
That's my two cents on it.

2680
03:46:04,240 --> 03:46:07,760
And I certainly appreciate that those insights.

2681
03:46:07,760 --> 03:46:13,520
I think Supervisor Kenney has been closer to this than any of us up here.

2682
03:46:14,080 --> 03:46:23,860
My mildly concern is what I just expressed in gladiator response that perhaps a follow-up

2683
03:46:23,860 --> 03:46:31,040
way to formalize that continuing working partnership or relationship, understanding who's

2684
03:46:31,040 --> 03:46:37,460
doing what is probably a good compliment to what we're being asked to do today.

2685
03:46:37,460 --> 03:46:41,600
So, I'm seeing a lot ahead, it's not even that's good, all right.

2686
03:46:41,800 --> 03:46:42,820
Thank you.

2687
03:46:46,540 --> 03:46:53,980
Okay, I think this is a little bit just reiterating, again, we do recognize that our commission

2688
03:46:53,980 --> 03:47:00,420
can and we encourage use of the digital ad hoc committees to be able to focus on specific

2689
03:47:00,420 --> 03:47:01,040
topics.

2690
03:47:01,820 --> 03:47:09,740
And then the Witt Code specifically talks about the importance of various perspectives and being

2691
03:47:09,740 --> 03:47:14,160
involved throughout the entire stage of the committee planning process.

2692
03:47:14,660 --> 03:47:20,240
And so we do hope that that can be encouraged and supported by the commission.

2693
03:47:23,040 --> 03:47:31,240
And then one other decision point that came out of some difference in perspective from

2694
03:47:31,240 --> 03:47:35,040
the two different proposals that came forward from mental health board and alcohol drug

2695
03:47:35,040 --> 03:47:41,220
advisory board on the mental health board side, there is a tradition of disclosing

2696
03:47:41,220 --> 03:47:46,960
ones see regarding whether they're in a consumer seat, a family member seat, or a public

2697
03:47:46,960 --> 03:47:54,220
interest seat. There's some pride in sort of disclosing those different perspectives.

2698
03:47:54,780 --> 03:48:02,240
Alcohol drug advisory board was concerned around being a requirement for disclosing that sort

2699
03:48:02,240 --> 03:48:08,140
of information that it may make individuals who are participating feel uncomfortable. So we're trying

2700
03:48:08,140 --> 03:48:15,260
to find a compromise between those two different perspectives in order to be transparent with

2701
03:48:15,260 --> 03:48:19,120
community that we're in compliance with the welfare and institution code.

2702
03:48:20,600 --> 03:48:26,200
We do we are proposing that we would require individuals to self-identify which of the seats

2703
03:48:26,200 --> 03:48:29,780
they are qualified for as a part of the application process.

2704
03:48:29,920 --> 03:48:35,640
We're not going to background check or verify what they're self-identifying but they do need

2705
03:48:35,640 --> 03:48:42,960
self-identify and then we part of transparency in terms of developing the roster of membership

2706
03:48:42,960 --> 03:48:49,700
to include a description of which seat they hold. However, at the actual commission meetings,

2707
03:48:50,120 --> 03:48:55,600
we're not going to require individuals to self-disclose which of the seats they represent,

2708
03:48:55,700 --> 03:49:03,400
nor will we discourage people who do want to self-identify which of the seats they hold. So basically

2709
03:49:03,400 --> 03:49:07,540
then it can become their own personal choice on whether or not they do that disclosure.

2710
03:49:08,300 --> 03:49:13,140
I appreciate the sensitivity of the issue.

2711
03:49:13,860 --> 03:49:21,500
I mean, I can see someone that perhaps is recovering alcoholic, for instance, for a wide variety

2712
03:49:21,500 --> 03:49:28,260
of reasons not wanting to have that be kind of the label that they're seen as everyone of

2713
03:49:28,260 --> 03:49:33,780
meetings. However, I could also understand someone that is very pride of, you know, proud

2714
03:49:33,780 --> 03:49:41,020
of their sobriety and doing exactly the opposite. The last part of what you just said,

2715
03:49:41,160 --> 03:49:45,800
Dr. Quis, I think, is going to be a bit of a challenge, because if you kind of leave it

2716
03:49:45,800 --> 03:49:55,540
to folks to self-disclose, I could also see that, especially if it's 21 people, perhaps

2717
03:49:55,540 --> 03:50:14,320
adding to the discomfort, because some are doing it in some arms and perhaps there might be some stigma that might creep into the way that the body would function.

2718
03:50:14,580 --> 03:50:19,920
So I would just urge some extra caution about how that gets treated.

2719
03:50:22,740 --> 03:50:26,760
This is our best attempt at trying to find a compromise between what I know it's a challenge.

2720
03:50:30,700 --> 03:50:33,260
And that basically restates what I just said.

2721
03:50:33,840 --> 03:50:44,700
So basically our plan from this point forward with your support would be first of all recognizing that some of this is putting work on your staff.

2722
03:50:45,300 --> 03:50:52,340
So try to find the right amount of time to give you in order for it not to feel like too much work.

2723
03:50:52,340 --> 03:51:16,200
So, definitely open to any refinement of these timelines, but basically we're proposing that the first commission meeting would be held in 90 days, so in September within 90 days, so it would be in September, and that would give each district enough time to accept applications and then appoint initial members.

2724
03:51:17,020 --> 03:51:21,780
And then the idea being that this would give a little bit of notice to the mental health

2725
03:51:21,780 --> 03:51:26,220
board and alcohol drug advisory board that they don't have to dissolve today at this

2726
03:51:26,220 --> 03:51:30,440
moment, but they have another 60 days that they can do their final meetings and celebrations

2727
03:51:30,440 --> 03:51:35,720
in order to just really acknowledge and respect all of the different contributions that

2728
03:51:35,720 --> 03:51:39,020
the two advisory board boards have contributed to our county.

2729
03:51:40,320 --> 03:51:45,200
And then basically encouraging our mental health board and alcohol drug advisory board members

2730
03:51:45,200 --> 03:51:51,440
to apply for appointment to the commission subject to district recommendations, and of course,

2731
03:51:51,580 --> 03:51:56,800
ultimately approval by the Board of Supervisors. And that's the conclusion of my presentation

2732
03:51:56,800 --> 03:52:01,120
and certainly open to any other questions that you all may have. Thank you, Dr.

2733
03:52:03,800 --> 03:52:12,420
I knew I have a question. Just to clear to me, I presume the welfare institutions code

2734
03:52:12,420 --> 03:52:27,800
does not preclude the specific ex officio edition of county any county staff that the our board might want to see added.

2735
03:52:29,240 --> 03:52:42,000
It so I good thing we had the email this morning with county council order for me to make sure that I knew the specific language around this it does exclude individuals who are employed by behavioral health.

2736
03:52:42,420 --> 03:52:44,600
from being in there, but not other agencies.

2737
03:52:45,880 --> 03:52:51,040
So for instance, we could have our director of home

2738
03:52:51,040 --> 03:52:52,340
or services.

2739
03:52:53,380 --> 03:52:57,200
That would not be excluded by the well for an institution code.

2740
03:52:57,880 --> 03:53:01,940
It does, I'm answering a question from another public

2741
03:53:01,940 --> 03:53:07,820
interest member in the, in the, it does restrict membership

2742
03:53:07,820 --> 03:53:14,500
for individuals who are employees of contractors of any of our service providers, though.

2743
03:53:14,740 --> 03:53:16,500
Okay, we're good.

2744
03:53:17,560 --> 03:53:19,120
Questions for Dr. Quest?

2745
03:53:20,900 --> 03:53:21,780
Okay, thank you.

2746
03:53:22,680 --> 03:53:29,400
I don't have questions, Dr. Quest, but I just want to reiterate the importance of your job and

2747
03:53:29,400 --> 03:53:35,100
the job of that and that of your team and what you do. And the services you provide for our county

2748
03:53:35,100 --> 03:53:41,240
and how, in times like this, there just seems like there's a huge need in the mental health

2749
03:53:41,240 --> 03:53:43,940
world and you guys do a great job.

2750
03:53:44,380 --> 03:53:46,200
Thank you so much.

2751
03:53:47,040 --> 03:53:47,060
Great.

2752
03:53:48,300 --> 03:53:48,960
Thanks again.

2753
03:53:49,840 --> 03:53:51,500
I'm going to click to we have members of the public side.

2754
03:53:51,500 --> 03:53:53,980
We do have four speakers, John Derby.

2755
03:54:04,520 --> 03:54:06,720
Good afternoon to everyone and board members.

2756
03:54:07,020 --> 03:54:11,240
My name is John Derby from Wallspace Health, Clinical Quality and Training Manager.

2757
03:54:12,380 --> 03:54:14,200
I'm honored to be here in front of you today.

2758
03:54:15,020 --> 03:54:17,740
I'll quick back around in 2003,

2759
03:54:19,760 --> 03:54:22,320
I'm a person with a lived experience and I got sober on

2760
03:54:22,320 --> 03:54:27,800
a bed that was through a county bed that was paid for by money allocated by this very

2761
03:54:27,800 --> 03:54:30,460
board, so I'm eternally grateful for that.

2762
03:54:31,040 --> 03:54:35,160
One of the first things I did when I got sober was to become a certified drug alcohol counselor

2763
03:54:35,160 --> 03:54:37,100
and help a lot of people in Sacramento County.

2764
03:54:37,800 --> 03:54:42,060
The next thing I did in 2004 was to begin attending the Sacramento County Alcohol and Drug

2765
03:54:42,060 --> 03:54:48,060
vice-report and basically have been there ever since for over 20 years and I've got

2766
03:54:48,060 --> 03:54:53,100
to see people like Linda A.V. and Ryan Quest is the behavioral health director and people

2767
03:54:53,100 --> 03:55:00,400
like that do a lot of great work over the years and while it causes my heart to skip a beat

2768
03:55:00,400 --> 03:55:04,200
when I see the words dissolution of the alcohol and drug advice report because it's been so

2769
03:55:04,200 --> 03:55:09,940
dear to my heart. It also what I've gotten to see over the last 21 years is that the problems

2770
03:55:09,940 --> 03:55:16,900
of mental health and substance use disorder and crisis services are all inextricably intertwined

2771
03:55:16,900 --> 03:55:21,900
both in terms of the challenges we face but also in the terms of the solutions we can

2772
03:55:21,900 --> 03:55:28,740
find together as well and so the creation of this behavioral health commission makes a lot

2773
03:55:28,740 --> 03:55:35,160
of sense and so at least as of what I was told yesterday by the people at Well Space Health

2774
03:55:35,160 --> 03:55:39,920
I was authorized to let you know that we are in support of this if you've received for

2775
03:55:39,920 --> 03:55:46,900
information from that since yesterday, that would change that recommendation, but we are in support

2776
03:55:46,900 --> 03:55:52,320
of that. So I want to thank you all for your service and for your attention to this matter

2777
03:55:52,320 --> 03:55:55,840
and for your my time today. Thank you. Thank you, Joe.

2778
03:55:58,400 --> 03:55:59,280
Thank you, Chair Harris.

2779
03:56:11,820 --> 03:56:15,700
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors. My name is Kisha Harris.

2780
03:56:15,720 --> 03:56:20,080
I sit on the district one family member representative seat on the mental health board.

2781
03:56:21,340 --> 03:56:25,180
I am in support of the formation of the Behavioral Health Commission.

2782
03:56:25,640 --> 03:56:28,640
I was actually also a part of the ad hoc committee as well.

2783
03:56:29,140 --> 03:56:31,760
There's a provision in the bylaws for non-disclosure.

2784
03:56:33,340 --> 03:56:39,000
For me, it wasn't until I had an honest conversation with the Board of Supervisors for my

2785
03:56:39,000 --> 03:56:43,480
district district one that I was able to share a little bit about myself and what I was

2786
03:56:43,480 --> 03:56:48,320
doing, which brought me to the mental health board, but it wasn't until after that conversation

2787
03:56:48,320 --> 03:56:54,480
that I realized I was in denial about the mental health of my adult child and that I had to

2788
03:56:54,480 --> 03:56:59,340
deal with and it was in that realization that I came and I approached the mental health board

2789
03:56:59,340 --> 03:57:05,960
differently. I was able to open up and share and I needed to honestly acknowledge what I was

2790
03:57:05,960 --> 03:57:12,800
dealing with as it pertains to my child as well as lived experience. It was then that I was able

2791
03:57:12,800 --> 03:57:17,460
to show up differently at the mental health board meetings and I was asked to participate in the

2792
03:57:17,460 --> 03:57:25,540
hard committee, which I accepted. Sacramento has a campaign. It's called stop stigma. It's not what you think.

2793
03:57:29,090 --> 03:57:36,130
If it's not what we think, then we have to share. But unless we share, then we're holding on to that stigma.

2794
03:57:36,670 --> 03:57:42,490
I understand what the self disclosure it is, sobriety. But it's also anxiety. It's also depression.

2795
03:57:42,790 --> 03:57:48,750
Again, it's not what you think. And it's only until we ever to share that we're able to eliminate that stigma.

2796
03:57:48,750 --> 03:57:58,830
and not disclosing would further that stigma and I want to bring awareness to mental health while eliminating stigma.

2797
03:57:59,450 --> 03:58:07,530
In closing, I ask that the body that reports to you, the mental health commission, that we identify our status on relationship,

2798
03:58:08,290 --> 03:58:12,870
and to consider the message that we're sending by not disclosing that information.

2799
03:58:13,810 --> 03:58:14,510
Thank you.

2800
03:58:14,510 --> 03:58:16,530
Thank you, she'll get to see you.

2801
03:58:16,530 --> 03:58:18,510
You as well.

2802
03:58:19,150 --> 03:58:20,290
Melinda, A.V.

2803
03:58:29,320 --> 03:58:29,980
Good afternoon.

2804
03:58:30,480 --> 03:58:32,120
Chair of some members of the Board.

2805
03:58:32,640 --> 03:58:33,700
I'm Melinda A.V.

2806
03:58:34,500 --> 03:58:36,980
And although I'm chair of the Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board,

2807
03:58:37,200 --> 03:58:38,800
I am here as an individual today.

2808
03:58:38,800 --> 03:58:40,420
I'm not speaking on their behalf.

2809
03:58:40,800 --> 03:58:42,500
I also sit on the mental health board,

2810
03:58:42,580 --> 03:58:44,500
and I'm not speaking on their behalf either.

2811
03:58:45,280 --> 03:58:47,440
First of all, I wanted to say really quickly.

2812
03:58:47,660 --> 03:58:52,360
Thank you to Dr. Quest and county leadership.

2813
03:58:52,360 --> 03:59:00,860
I think this was a really tough proposal to write and integration has long been on the table.

2814
03:59:01,560 --> 03:59:04,940
But no one has ever been able to really describe how it's going to work.

2815
03:59:05,540 --> 03:59:08,300
And I think with this proposal, that's exactly what they did.

2816
03:59:08,800 --> 03:59:11,580
They wrote it down. There are a lot of different ways we could do it.

2817
03:59:11,820 --> 03:59:17,300
But what they wrote down expresses articulates their vision and a way to get there.

2818
03:59:17,300 --> 03:59:21,020
And I appreciate that. I can see the decision points all the way through.

2819
03:59:21,020 --> 03:59:23,900
I appreciated the compromises that were made.

2820
03:59:24,480 --> 03:59:26,400
So I just wanted to say that, the job.

2821
03:59:27,320 --> 03:59:30,620
And I do want to add, there's concern over the 21 members.

2822
03:59:31,280 --> 03:59:33,680
A-Dab has 20 members on our board.

2823
03:59:34,080 --> 03:59:38,000
And it's important to remember that Quorum is considered only on the field seats.

2824
03:59:38,740 --> 03:59:43,040
So if you only fill 16 of those seats, the Quorum is based on 16.

2825
03:59:43,660 --> 03:59:46,620
But we have never, I think, once in the past,

2826
03:59:47,040 --> 03:59:49,500
maybe five years, we have not achieved Quorum.

2827
03:59:50,060 --> 03:59:51,340
We always get to work.

2828
03:59:51,520 --> 03:59:53,320
So in other words, you're not like a CPAC.

2829
03:59:55,140 --> 03:59:57,120
We're really an interesting meeting.

2830
03:59:57,320 --> 03:59:58,120
You should come.

2831
03:59:59,600 --> 03:59:59,800
People.

2832
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:15,000
Now, I'm not interested in people are very interested in substance use and mental health in this community. They just are. A bigger board allows a lot more diversity of thought. So I'm running out of time. So that's what I have to say. So thank you very much for hearing this.

2833
04:00:17,270 --> 04:00:28,890
I am here, simply because remembering in 2008 when literally you eliminated, should we say

2834
04:00:28,890 --> 04:00:36,950
hospitalization for this mental health situation and realizing the last few years it seems

2835
04:00:36,950 --> 04:00:45,310
like the mental health board has had serious concerns in trying to be an active board unlike

2836
04:00:45,310 --> 04:00:50,950
other issues going through there. So I'm hoping this is going to be a good development, a new

2837
04:00:50,950 --> 04:00:58,950
development. I didn't clearly see when you expect Jonathan to have the Stockton Boulevard 135

2838
04:00:58,950 --> 04:01:08,690
beds available. Just wondering on that also related to Mr. Cooper when he was a assembly person.

2839
04:01:08,690 --> 04:01:16,370
He dealt with about, I believe it was the Alzheimer's about a band to go through there.

2840
04:01:16,830 --> 04:01:28,930
Just wondering whether that's something he has introduced and talked to Sacramento County about something about identifying those issues to separate and identify people and whether that's appropriate.

2841
04:01:29,290 --> 04:01:34,730
And also whether this is your response to the CalAIMS program development.

2842
04:01:34,730 --> 04:01:42,750
That's Board of Supervisors, but I just bring you attention of what I see and hear and how you have explained and covered it.

2843
04:01:42,950 --> 04:01:45,210
Like what you offered and explained about a couple of things.

2844
04:01:45,770 --> 04:01:49,250
Fill and like what I've seen rich you do through there.

2845
04:01:49,530 --> 04:01:56,330
Patrick, I'm still not quite sure what's going on with the Erosville road and your complex down there.

2846
04:01:56,830 --> 04:01:58,270
But that's dealing with homeless.

2847
04:01:58,510 --> 04:02:00,390
Welcome to District 1 in District 3.

2848
04:02:03,810 --> 04:02:11,630
You talked about the Rosville road situation and still looking to get Richard to explain that.

2849
04:02:11,690 --> 04:02:12,890
And with that, I'll leave you.

2850
04:02:13,430 --> 04:02:14,030
Thank you, Jeffrey.

2851
04:02:15,170 --> 04:02:16,130
Supervisor Dustin.

2852
04:02:17,950 --> 04:02:18,870
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2853
04:02:19,010 --> 04:02:20,730
And thank you for the public comment.

2854
04:02:22,010 --> 04:02:25,070
And I want to just underscore what I'm willing to say.

2855
04:02:25,230 --> 04:02:27,490
Thank you, Dr. Quest and staff.

2856
04:02:27,490 --> 04:02:29,010
and shaman and everyone.

2857
04:02:29,730 --> 04:02:31,970
This was, I'm sure this is a very difficult thing.

2858
04:02:32,950 --> 04:02:35,650
A lot of competing interests, a lot of very passionate

2859
04:02:35,650 --> 04:02:37,210
interests about the subject matter.

2860
04:02:37,370 --> 04:02:39,370
And this is a significant change.

2861
04:02:40,350 --> 04:02:42,710
But I really think you have struck the right balance.

2862
04:02:43,730 --> 04:02:47,790
And Ryan, hearing you kind of describe your rationale

2863
04:02:47,790 --> 04:02:50,090
or the rationale behind combining the crisis

2864
04:02:50,090 --> 04:02:53,150
and justice involved, that's pretty that resonates with me.

2865
04:02:53,150 --> 04:02:57,150
I think that will lead to a much more successful result

2866
04:02:57,150 --> 04:02:58,050
for people.

2867
04:02:59,370 --> 04:03:04,170
Because I do think we operate, we tend to operate in silos far too often, and with complicated

2868
04:03:04,170 --> 04:03:09,730
issues like this, we need to be talking more together and have more forums where we

2869
04:03:09,730 --> 04:03:11,990
can be working together.

2870
04:03:12,290 --> 04:03:17,070
And I also, I think there was a great discussion brought up by the chair in terms of formalizing

2871
04:03:17,070 --> 04:03:20,490
something we're incorporating well-spaces involvement in that.

2872
04:03:20,650 --> 04:03:23,750
So I think that should definitely be part of it.

2873
04:03:23,750 --> 04:03:28,770
Melinda, I appreciate the comments about the size because I certainly we serve on board

2874
04:03:28,770 --> 04:03:34,330
in commissions that can certainly become on wieldy if they're too large, but that's a

2875
04:03:34,330 --> 04:03:38,710
point well taken that we always will have vacancies, so it's usually going to be several

2876
04:03:38,710 --> 04:03:44,630
people below that, so just some of my comments, but primarily thank you for this thing.

2877
04:03:44,630 --> 04:03:49,910
This is a good way forward, and I'm certainly supportive of it with staff recommendation

2878
04:03:49,910 --> 04:03:53,490
and with the addition that the chair referenced

2879
04:03:53,490 --> 04:03:54,870
would respect to a well-spaces.

2880
04:03:55,310 --> 04:03:56,990
Thank you.

2881
04:03:58,670 --> 04:04:02,150
So, I tell you, I'm very thankful for all the work

2882
04:04:02,150 --> 04:04:03,110
that's gone into this.

2883
04:04:03,150 --> 04:04:06,710
I know a prop one passage was really the prompt

2884
04:04:06,710 --> 04:04:14,270
that began this so kind of working within a construct

2885
04:04:14,270 --> 04:04:16,410
that's not entirely of our own design

2886
04:04:16,410 --> 04:04:18,730
can be sometimes challenging.

2887
04:04:18,730 --> 04:04:35,670
But I think the recommendation is sound and I too wanted to appreciate the fact that you pointed out kind of the nuance of field seats and how that relates to form a establishment important to know.

2888
04:04:36,410 --> 04:04:44,150
I do think, however, and now I'm going to have to eat my words because I'm going to suggest

2889
04:04:44,150 --> 04:04:47,890
there be a formalized 22nd ex officio member.

2890
04:04:49,070 --> 04:04:56,250
I just think it would be a bit of a shame if we didn't as a county that is very focused

2891
04:04:57,410 --> 04:05:04,030
on trying to always improve how we address the complexities of homelessness.

2892
04:05:04,030 --> 04:05:10,230
I think it would be a shame if we didn't formalize having our director of homeless services,

2893
04:05:10,430 --> 04:05:20,170
be an ex officio member and a participant, an expected participant, and these new advisory

2894
04:05:20,170 --> 04:05:21,430
body meetings.

2895
04:05:21,830 --> 04:05:31,950
I think we can all agree that the relationship between substance use disorder, excuse me,

2896
04:05:31,950 --> 04:05:40,550
And mental health challenges as it relates to homelessness is glaring.

2897
04:05:41,370 --> 04:05:44,530
So I would respectfully like my colleagues

2898
04:05:44,530 --> 04:05:50,450
to consider adding that 22nd member

2899
04:05:50,450 --> 04:05:52,970
and have it be our homelessness director.

2900
04:05:53,510 --> 04:05:57,850
As an ex officium member, so that she can have

2901
04:05:57,850 --> 04:06:05,450
kind of that immediate exposure hearing in that, in the context of that advisory body, what

2902
04:06:05,450 --> 04:06:09,990
I think she really needs to hear and understand through Vice-Canity.

2903
04:06:11,310 --> 04:06:11,990
Thank you, Chair.

2904
04:06:12,270 --> 04:06:17,510
I'd like to move that we approve staff recommendation with the changes that has been

2905
04:06:17,510 --> 04:06:25,490
recommended by the chair, and that's that the staff come back with a formalized by laws

2906
04:06:25,490 --> 04:06:36,230
of the crisis justice committee, I carry a man writing sorry, and as well as that the director

2907
04:06:36,230 --> 04:06:41,570
of homeless services and housing be an exfacial member.

2908
04:06:41,830 --> 04:06:42,370
I'll second down.

2909
04:06:43,390 --> 04:06:43,750
All right.

2910
04:06:44,890 --> 04:06:47,010
We have a motion and a second.

2911
04:06:47,650 --> 04:06:48,530
Please vote.

2912
04:06:53,050 --> 04:06:54,830
You know, I'm so with those members present.

2913
04:06:55,270 --> 04:06:56,350
Very good.

2914
04:06:56,510 --> 04:06:56,990
Thank you.

2915
04:06:57,470 --> 04:06:58,430
I

2916
04:07:04,220 --> 04:07:07,500
just want to say that someone left their cell phone on the podium.

2917
04:07:17,470 --> 04:07:18,750
Next time.

2918
04:07:18,850 --> 04:07:29,390
Mr. Chair, I'd like to bring back I'm 46 for the Carmichael Old Foothill Farm's Community Planning Advisory Council now known as the Foothill Farm.

2919
04:07:29,750 --> 04:07:31,530
So supervisor Desmond.

2920
04:07:32,770 --> 04:07:34,910
Please continue to actually to June 10.

2921
04:07:36,330 --> 04:07:36,890
Thank you.

2922
04:07:36,930 --> 04:07:37,470
No problem.

2923
04:07:37,470 --> 04:07:38,370
Okay,

2924
04:07:40,700 --> 04:07:45,120
and that's it, and then the next item would be the county executive comments.

2925
04:07:45,860 --> 04:07:46,260
Thank you, Flo.

2926
04:07:47,260 --> 04:07:53,040
I would also like to thank Tim Lutz, Director Tim Lutz, and Dr. Rangquist for the work on this.

2927
04:07:53,700 --> 04:07:58,520
And continuing on that theme of, as you move, many of you know, May is mental health awareness.

2928
04:07:59,000 --> 04:08:02,400
Month, that's why we are wearing our green ribbons.

2929
04:08:03,280 --> 04:08:08,680
And roughly one out of every five adults are experiencing or have experienced mental health condition over their lifetime.

2930
04:08:08,680 --> 04:08:15,480
But many of them don't necessarily seek support due to the stigma and the shame of that identification.

2931
04:08:16,340 --> 04:08:25,040
Sacramento County offers a ride of wide range of behavioral health services that address mental health and substance use.

2932
04:08:26,040 --> 04:08:31,020
We have confidential screening through our behavioral health services screening and coordination team.

2933
04:08:31,360 --> 04:08:33,560
Some of the previous speakers talked about.

2934
04:08:33,560 --> 04:08:39,600
We also promote 988, which is a phone number that people can call when they're having a mental health crisis.

2935
04:08:40,040 --> 04:08:46,460
Also, Mrs. Harris mentioned the stop stigma campaign, which is stop stigma sacramino.org.

2936
04:08:47,000 --> 04:08:55,540
This has a whole host of different ways to help people, including real stories and a speaker's bureau and a whole host of other services.

2937
04:08:56,300 --> 04:09:00,180
In addition to this, in a powerful, powerful show of leadership.

2938
04:09:00,900 --> 04:09:05,160
Supervisor Kennedy and Supervisor Hume participated in this

2939
04:09:05,160 --> 04:09:07,400
speaker mind, Ice Bucket Challenge.

2940
04:09:08,020 --> 04:09:10,800
Why don't believe this has been viral yet?

2941
04:09:11,340 --> 04:09:13,140
I know it's making its way around.

2942
04:09:14,000 --> 04:09:17,160
So with that, you can go to the county's Instagram account

2943
04:09:17,160 --> 04:09:19,260
and I encourage everybody to watch it,

2944
04:09:19,520 --> 04:09:21,300
but as you can see on the screen,

2945
04:09:21,540 --> 04:09:23,560
why don't we just take a moment real quick to watch it?

2946
04:09:23,760 --> 04:09:24,260
Oh boy.

2947
04:09:24,820 --> 04:09:26,300
From Supervisor Pat Hume,

2948
04:09:26,580 --> 04:09:28,060
and this guy, Supervisor Kennedy,

2949
04:09:28,060 --> 04:09:32,960
challenge made to do the ice bucket challenge. We're going to do it. It's for mental health awareness.

2950
04:09:33,780 --> 04:09:37,700
So my mental health works and is the more I think about it. And my mental health

2951
04:09:37,700 --> 04:09:41,760
worsens the more I know this guy. But what's important is that we know that we're going to stop

2952
04:09:41,760 --> 04:09:46,200
the stigma in Sacramento County and throughout the state of California. Mental health is no

2953
04:09:46,200 --> 04:09:50,760
different than any other kind of health care. If you have a need for health care, you'll go get it.

2954
04:09:50,820 --> 04:09:54,960
If you have a need for mental health care, you should go do it without stigma involved.

2955
04:10:22,420 --> 04:10:25,780
That's awesome. That's awesome. That's awesome. Thank you very much.

2956
04:10:29,830 --> 04:10:30,310
Okay, thank you.

2957
04:10:30,390 --> 04:10:35,850
Where are we on the next item now? Yeah. Okay, thank you. First of all, it's clear that my

2958
04:10:35,850 --> 04:10:47,990
bucket was bigger. But so to Shavan and David, we've been talking for the last year at least about

2959
04:10:47,990 --> 04:10:53,870
creating a better system of coordinating county-wide homeless strategies.

2960
04:10:55,410 --> 04:11:02,670
And I know that Chevon, you have some ideas and some proposals that you need to do some

2961
04:11:02,670 --> 04:11:05,110
more outreach, but are close to becoming forward.

2962
04:11:05,810 --> 04:11:12,710
I just wanted to, because we all agree that we need a county-wide, including all seven cities

2963
04:11:12,710 --> 04:11:18,990
to the degree that they're willing to participate in the County Sacramento to do a better job

2964
04:11:18,990 --> 04:11:20,830
of coordinating our strategies around homelessness.

2965
04:11:21,610 --> 04:11:24,290
Where's that at and when can we expect to see it come forward?

2966
04:11:24,730 --> 04:11:26,550
Well, let me, I'll start off with supervisor Kennedy.

2967
04:11:27,230 --> 04:11:31,210
We have been working on for a year and I know you've been asking several times of me of

2968
04:11:31,210 --> 04:11:32,190
where that status is.

2969
04:11:32,390 --> 04:11:36,890
One of the last steps we wanted to do was reach out to all the city managers and we've had

2970
04:11:36,890 --> 04:11:38,510
that conversation in the last two weeks.

2971
04:11:39,030 --> 04:11:41,350
We're also looking, I think we're about ready to bring it to the board.

2972
04:11:41,970 --> 04:11:45,390
And right now we're looking about August to bring it back to the board.

2973
04:11:45,870 --> 04:11:47,670
So, should I have any more?

2974
04:11:48,050 --> 04:11:49,410
Can I chime in?

2975
04:11:49,630 --> 04:11:58,490
So, I know that we also have some parallel activity to coordinate the joint city county meeting

2976
04:11:58,490 --> 04:12:00,570
sometime this fall.

2977
04:12:01,290 --> 04:12:08,790
It sounds like that might be a good opportunity to maybe have a discussion about what it is

2978
04:12:08,790 --> 04:12:12,270
that we're going to be hearing and seen in August.

2979
04:12:13,530 --> 04:12:15,850
So I hope that's part of it.

2980
04:12:15,850 --> 04:12:18,550
Yes, we're working on the agenda for the city county,

2981
04:12:18,670 --> 04:12:20,790
or the city city city county community.

2982
04:12:22,570 --> 04:12:25,870
But we will be coming forward with you some ideas.

2983
04:12:26,030 --> 04:12:27,410
Good, great.

2984
04:12:27,450 --> 04:12:28,430
Surveillance road, you guys.

2985
04:12:28,910 --> 04:12:29,630
We're at careful comments.

2986
04:12:29,870 --> 04:12:31,230
I mean, four comments, right?

2987
04:12:31,390 --> 04:12:31,550
Yeah.

2988
04:12:31,770 --> 04:12:32,050
Yeah, OK.

2989
04:12:32,230 --> 04:12:32,830
All right.

2990
04:12:33,330 --> 04:12:36,850
I want to take a moment to recognize the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office

2991
04:12:36,850 --> 04:12:42,370
for their excellent work during a recent routine stop in the South area, deputies alongside

2992
04:12:42,370 --> 04:12:47,970
with Canine Ronin, discovered over 54 pounds of powder fat now, one of the largest seizures

2993
04:12:47,970 --> 04:12:53,230
our region has seen. As we all know, fat now is extremely dangerous and thanks to the swift

2994
04:12:53,230 --> 04:12:59,050
action and coordination of the sheriff's team and the regiment regional partners, this lethal drug

2995
04:12:59,050 --> 04:13:05,830
is off our streets. I also want to take a moment and recognize Army Forces today, which was observed

2996
04:13:05,830 --> 04:13:10,530
this past weekend, and grateful for the brave men and women, currently serving in all branches

2997
04:13:10,530 --> 04:13:15,310
of our military. Their courage, sacrificing commitment to protecting our freedom, deserves

2998
04:13:15,310 --> 04:13:20,890
our deepest gratitude, not only on Omsworth's Day, but every day. So I thank you for your

2999
04:13:20,890 --> 04:13:23,230
service to our country. That's it for me.

3000
04:13:23,610 --> 04:13:29,650
Great. Thank you. Two of us are Desmond. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to thank County staff

3001
04:13:29,650 --> 04:13:35,810
for an event we had last weekend in my district to the Hal Park. We called a Unity Fair,

3002
04:13:35,810 --> 04:13:41,790
It was really designed to reach out to the Afghan community,

3003
04:13:42,450 --> 04:13:45,910
highlight the cultural benefits of the community,

3004
04:13:46,250 --> 04:13:48,890
and really try to get the community integrated with,

3005
04:13:48,910 --> 04:13:52,070
or at least start a discussion with more longer-term

3006
04:13:52,070 --> 04:13:53,510
residents of the community.

3007
04:13:54,190 --> 04:13:57,090
And I know County staff worked a lot on this,

3008
04:13:57,110 --> 04:13:58,890
particularly Crystal Bethany.

3009
04:14:00,010 --> 04:14:03,210
Our county exec and two of the three deputy county execs

3010
04:14:03,210 --> 04:14:09,630
were actually there on Saturday. One wasn't, but I won't name him, Eric. But there were

3011
04:14:09,630 --> 04:14:14,670
between 50, no. I know you're very supportive. There were between 1500 and 2000 people

3012
04:14:14,670 --> 04:14:18,570
who attended this, unless you think maybe more, that was some of the estimates that I heard.

3013
04:14:19,310 --> 04:14:24,530
It was, I think, a resounding success. And, you know, I'd like to do it. Again, maybe in

3014
04:14:24,530 --> 04:14:29,170
the fall of 2026 when the weather is a little better, and they give economic development

3015
04:14:29,170 --> 04:14:31,290
a little more time, you know, to plan for the next one.

3016
04:14:31,710 --> 04:14:39,790
But the feedback I got both from the nonprofit partners, the first responder partners, county

3017
04:14:39,790 --> 04:14:45,030
staff who were there, it was a very, very positive thing for the Afghan community to make

3018
04:14:45,030 --> 04:14:51,290
them feel welcome and in our Medicaid and in Sacramento County, make them aware that we are

3019
04:14:51,290 --> 04:14:56,090
here to help them, help them become self-sufficient, help provide them with education and

3020
04:14:56,550 --> 04:14:59,790
opportunities, and to build that level of trust with their local government.

3021
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:21,020
They don't have that from where they came from in Afghanistan. So I think it was a bit of a program there and I know no one listens to anything the politicians say or others, but it was nice to see the North Division Sheriff's Commander and then one of his lieutenant, who's actually from Afghanistan, actually provide a greeting to the crowd.

3022
04:15:21,200 --> 04:15:29,980
And something like that from law enforcement is certainly foreign to that refugee community. So thank you. It was just a very positive thing and a very proud of the county.

3023
04:15:29,980 --> 04:15:32,380
and all the work that we did to make this happen.

3024
04:15:32,680 --> 04:15:33,420
Thank you.

3025
04:15:35,520 --> 04:15:40,540
Well, I'll close this out by just offering, again, my thanks to all of our very skilled

3026
04:15:40,540 --> 04:15:49,200
and helpful staff, can't do what we do without you, and whether it's asking you shall

3027
04:15:49,200 --> 04:15:55,640
be to follow up immediately with someone that just give us a very personal account of what

3028
04:15:55,640 --> 04:16:03,140
she's going through in terms of her dealing with child welfare, and then having you go out

3029
04:16:03,140 --> 04:16:10,500
and hopefully make that connection, that kind of thing, I know you're still somewhat new,

3030
04:16:10,600 --> 04:16:17,320
but it's not foreign to have us do that on occasion when constituents come before us.

3031
04:16:17,320 --> 04:16:24,400
So I do appreciate that kind of a kind of immediate service, and I think everyone sitting in front

3032
04:16:24,400 --> 04:16:29,480
of us has done that one way or another over the years.

3033
04:16:30,180 --> 04:16:33,260
So again, we all thank you for what you do.

3034
04:16:33,640 --> 04:16:35,600
And with that, there's no further business

3035
04:16:35,600 --> 04:16:37,240
before this board we are adjourned.
