The board has to 2860 02:04:48,649 --> 02:04:51,490 approve that separately. And 2861 02:04:51,185 --> 02:04:52,886 the board has not considered 2862 02:04:52,886 --> 02:04:57,860 that item yet. That would be in 2863 02:04:57,325 --> 02:04:58,959 the future. So the budget is 2864 02:04:58,959 --> 02:05:00,561 just -- I would say just the 2865 02:05:00,561 --> 02:05:02,996 budget, right. It's just the 2866 02:05:02,996 --> 02:05:04,765 capital project budget that is 2867 02:05:04,765 --> 02:05:06,633 being adopted. It's just the 2868 02:05:06,633 --> 02:05:08,135 appropriations. It's not the 2869 02:05:08,135 --> 02:05:09,169 project itself that is being 2870 02:05:09,169 --> 02:05:10,571 considered today. 2871 02:05:10,571 --> 02:05:13,571 >>v. Chair, katrina foley: okay. 2872 02:05:14,340 --> 02:05:15,876 So my concern is that -- and I 2873 02:05:15,876 --> 02:05:19,476 raised this at the last meeting. 2874 02:05:19,545 --> 02:05:20,346 We are right now trying to 2875 02:05:20,346 --> 02:05:23,346 basically find money in the 2876 02:05:23,384 --> 02:05:25,118 budget because we have needs. 2877 02:05:25,118 --> 02:05:28,718 We don't want to have any 2878 02:05:29,623 --> 02:05:32,623 layoffs or terminations, and so 2879 02:05:35,195 --> 02:05:36,930 we have squirreled away -- it's 2880 02:05:36,930 --> 02:05:39,930 $61 million for the phase 1 and 2881 02:05:40,433 --> 02:05:42,869 phase 2 for this project. And I 2882 02:05:42,869 --> 02:05:45,171 had asked previously -- I don't 2883 02:05:45,171 --> 02:05:46,940 think I got that information -- 2884 02:05:46,940 --> 02:05:49,940 what percentage -- what portion 2885 02:05:52,679 --> 02:05:53,580 of the 61 million is walled off 2886 02:05:53,580 --> 02:05:54,981 funds that can't be used for any 2887 02:05:54,981 --> 02:05:57,117 other purpose other than that 2888 02:05:57,117 --> 02:05:59,520 type of purpose versus what 2889 02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:02,520 portion of the 61 million is 2890 02:06:02,589 --> 02:06:04,357 what we might call general fund 2891 02:06:04,357 --> 02:06:06,757 discretionary dollars. And so 2892 02:06:08,729 --> 02:06:10,631 I'm just concerned that we have 2893 02:06:10,631 --> 02:06:13,567 this vague position that it's 2894 02:06:13,567 --> 02:06:16,504 not in the budget, but we still 2895 02:06:16,504 --> 02:06:19,700 have $61 million sitting in a 2896 02:06:19,700 --> 02:06:21,142 bank account itemized for this 2897 02:06:21,142 --> 02:06:22,943 particular project. So if that 2898 02:06:22,943 --> 02:06:25,847 project is not moving forward, 2899 02:06:25,847 --> 02:06:27,415 then why are we keeping $61 2900 02:06:27,415 --> 02:06:28,816 million in a bank account for 2901 02:06:28,816 --> 02:06:31,651 this project? When we have so 2902 02:06:31,651 --> 02:06:32,854 many other needs? 2903 02:06:32,854 --> 02:06:34,854 >>michelle aguirre: supervisor, 2904 02:06:38,526 --> 02:06:41,629 I would defer to kim for the 2905 02:06:41,629 --> 02:06:44,629 specifics of the total amount. 2906 02:06:45,833 --> 02:06:47,534 However, for particular/27, the 2907 02:06:47,534 --> 02:06:49,934 monies mentioned previously are 2908 02:06:50,438 --> 02:06:51,638 (Ab) 109-related fundings. That 2909 02:06:51,638 --> 02:06:53,274 money is one-time growth money. 2910 02:06:53,274 --> 02:06:54,342 It's not an ongoing funding 2911 02:06:54,342 --> 02:06:58,110 source, so we would not use that 2912 02:06:58,110 --> 02:07:01,611 for ongoing costs. And it is 2913 02:07:03,483 --> 02:07:05,585 also restricted to -- I guess, 2914 02:07:05,585 --> 02:07:07,585 whatever the community 2915 02:07:07,988 --> 02:07:09,988 corrections partnership 2916 02:07:10,230 --> 02:07:13,230 determines the use should be. 2917 02:07:13,427 --> 02:07:16,497 So the ccp has to approve use of 2918 02:07:16,497 --> 02:07:18,498 those monies, and then that 2919 02:07:18,498 --> 02:07:21,636 comes to the board. But the 2920 02:07:21,636 --> 02:07:23,770 board does not have the 2921 02:07:23,770 --> 02:07:26,170 authority to reallocate those 2922 02:07:26,908 --> 02:07:29,476 monies per statute. And I don't 2923 02:07:29,476 --> 02:07:31,645 know on the remaining portion if 2924 02:07:31,645 --> 02:07:34,450 there's any different funding 2925 02:07:34,681 --> 02:07:36,350 source. Kim oana, I would defer 2926 02:07:36,350 --> 02:07:40,550 to you related to that, or if 2927 02:07:40,721 --> 02:07:41,210 that's not even part of your 2928 02:07:41,210 --> 02:07:41,689 26/27 budget 2929 02:07:41,689 --> 02:07:42,456 >>v. Chair, katrina foley: 2930 02:07:42,456 --> 02:07:46,560 because that's why I asked for 2931 02:07:46,394 --> 02:07:48,695 the breakdown, because doing it 2932 02:07:48,695 --> 02:07:50,831 up here on the dais, it does get 2933 02:07:50,831 --> 02:07:52,831 complicated. And (Ab) 109 2934 02:07:52,966 --> 02:07:56,204 funding we use for a variety of 2935 02:07:56,204 --> 02:07:59,804 things. We pay for staff with 2936 02:07:59,908 --> 02:08:02,908 (Ab) 109 funding. We pay for 2937 02:08:03,879 --> 02:08:04,679 the realignment money. We pay 2938 02:08:04,679 --> 02:08:06,810 for things with 2939 02:08:06,810 --> 02:08:07,949 >>michelle aguirre: yeah. With 2940 02:08:07,949 --> 02:08:09,117 the (Ab) 109 monies, there's an 2941 02:08:09,117 --> 02:08:10,952 ongoing funding source but 2942 02:08:10,952 --> 02:08:12,354 there's also a growth component. 2943 02:08:12,354 --> 02:08:14,756 So the growth component is 2944 02:08:14,756 --> 02:08:16,991 one-time moneys that we use for 2945 02:08:16,991 --> 02:08:18,393 one-time costs. So that's the 2946 02:08:18,393 --> 02:08:20,793 difference, supervisor. But you 2947 02:08:21,596 --> 02:08:23,640 are correct, there is an ongoing 2948 02:08:23,640 --> 02:08:25,464 (Ab) 109-related funding source, 2949 02:08:25,967 --> 02:08:27,502 and that allocation of funding 2950 02:08:27,502 --> 02:08:29,337 goes to the departments to cover 2951 02:08:29,337 --> 02:08:31,506 ongoing costs. But not this 2952 02:08:31,506 --> 02:08:32,307 component of (Ab) 109 2953 02:08:32,307 --> 02:08:33,675 >>v. Chair, katrina foley: 2954 02:08:33,675 --> 02:08:35,276 understood. But as has been 2955 02:08:35,276 --> 02:08:38,246 explained to us multiple times 2956 02:08:38,246 --> 02:08:40,140 is that we have a bit of a 2957 02:08:40,140 --> 02:08:42,850 budget hit this year and next 2958 02:08:42,850 --> 02:08:43,985 year because of a lot of the 2959 02:08:43,985 --> 02:08:45,620 changes that have been made at 2960 02:08:45,620 --> 02:08:47,540 the federal government cutting 2961 02:08:47,540 --> 02:08:48,924 our funding, that flows to the 2962 02:08:48,924 --> 02:08:51,924 state. The state then cutting 2963 02:08:52,930 --> 02:08:55,693 our funding, and so we're trying 2964 02:08:58,198 --> 02:09:00,434 to correct for those budget 2965 02:09:00,434 --> 02:09:02,938 losses. Then the budget smooths 2966 02:09:02,938 --> 02:09:05,774 out, as we get into the later 2967 02:09:05,774 --> 02:09:08,108 years. And then we have the 2968 02:09:08,108 --> 02:09:09,944 situation as it relates to the 2969 02:09:09,944 --> 02:09:12,344 retirement plan being fully 2970 02:09:14,482 --> 02:09:17,482 funded as we get into 2030, 31, 2971 02:09:18,220 --> 02:09:19,820 32, and that's $229 million 2972 02:09:19,820 --> 02:09:21,356 coming into the county coffers 2973 02:09:21,356 --> 02:09:23,758 that we don't have right now 2974 02:09:23,758 --> 02:09:25,160 because we sent that money over 2975 02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:27,160 to ocers. Annually 2976 02:09:27,295 --> 02:09:28,997 . So I'm just trying to figure 2977 02:09:28,997 --> 02:09:30,732 out, I know you're calling it 2978 02:09:30,732 --> 02:09:32,266 bun-time fund ising so we -- 2979 02:09:32,266 --> 02:09:34,369 within-time funding so we can't 2980 02:09:34,369 --> 02:09:36,360 use it for staffing but we have 2981 02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:38,873 a one-time need right now 2982 02:09:38,873 --> 02:09:41,873 because we're in a current 2983 02:09:52,154 --> 02:09:55,154 budget difficulty. So how are 2984 02:09:55,534 --> 02:09:55,991 we allocating the funding that's 2985 02:09:55,991 --> 02:09:56,758 in that line item for that 2986 02:09:56,758 --> 02:10:00,358 project that it appears we are 2987 02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:04,466 not moving forward on? It's $61 2988 02:10:04,466 --> 02:10:06,568 million. I got the number, $61 2989 02:10:06,568 --> 02:10:08,804 million, from the response that 2990 02:10:08,804 --> 02:10:11,804 was written for the board 2991 02:10:11,940 --> 02:10:13,675 related to the harvey roe's memo 2992 02:10:13,675 --> 02:10:16,478 that the labor unions gave to 2993 02:10:16,478 --> 02:10:17,512 us. That's where it says it's 2994 02:10:17,512 --> 02:10:19,512 $61 million. There's a 2995 02:10:21,749 --> 02:10:25,870 sentence -- there's a graph in 2996 02:10:25,870 --> 02:10:26,388 there. 2997 02:10:26,388 --> 02:10:28,123 >>chair, doug chaffee: do we 2998 02:10:28,123 --> 02:10:29,424 have a further response from 2999 02:10:29,424 --> 02:10:32,424 staff that helped put this 3000 02:10:34,620 --> 02:10:36,462 together?

When I first came on this 3777 02:37:09,130 --> 02:37:11,320 board that was almost eight 3778 02:37:11,320 --> 02:37:12,533 years ago, and one of the 3779 02:37:12,533 --> 02:37:15,304 committees I was assigned to was 3780 02:37:15,304 --> 02:37:16,204 the orange county criminal 3781 02:37:16,204 --> 02:37:18,204 justice coordinating council. 3782 02:37:18,673 --> 02:37:20,842 And I remember first walking 3783 02:37:20,842 --> 02:37:23,278 into that meeting. I looked 3784 02:37:23,278 --> 02:37:25,280 around. Who are all these 3785 02:37:25,280 --> 02:37:28,280 people? We had the three 3786 02:37:28,549 --> 02:37:30,852 presiding judges present from 3787 02:37:30,852 --> 02:37:32,987 each of our court systems, 3788 02:37:32,987 --> 02:37:35,189 MR. Spitzer, the D.A. Was there, 3789 02:37:35,189 --> 02:37:36,425 the public defender was there, 3790 02:37:36,425 --> 02:37:39,425 the head of the probation 3791 02:37:39,494 --> 02:37:40,728 department was present, we had 3792 02:37:40,728 --> 02:37:42,728 health care representatives 3793 02:37:43,698 --> 02:37:45,167 there, and we had of course our 3794 02:37:45,167 --> 02:37:47,350 ceo present as well as financial 3795 02:37:47,350 --> 02:37:49,435 people. The homeless liaison 3796 02:37:50,205 --> 02:37:51,740 was there. We were all doing -- 3797 02:37:51,740 --> 02:37:54,140 we were coordinating these 3798 02:37:54,876 --> 02:37:56,912 different kinds of departments 3799 02:37:56,912 --> 02:37:57,646 that sometimes were isolate 3800 02:37:57,646 --> 02:37:59,882 expiemed of like silos and 3801 02:37:59,882 --> 02:38:02,510 putting it all together. Not 3802 02:38:02,510 --> 02:38:03,152 only, that we developed a bunch 3803 02:38:03,152 --> 02:38:04,687 of pillars. One of those 3804 02:38:04,687 --> 02:38:07,389 pillars is the release of 3805 02:38:07,389 --> 02:38:09,424 inmates who observed their term, 3806 02:38:09,424 --> 02:38:12,828 who we wanted to help them so 3807 02:38:12,828 --> 02:38:14,596 they don't go back to a life of 3808 02:38:14,596 --> 02:38:16,799 crime, we call that the re-entry 3809 02:38:16,799 --> 02:38:20,399 center. This is kind of the 3810 02:38:20,836 --> 02:38:23,104 culmination lasting really need 3811 02:38:23,104 --> 02:38:24,573 to make that plan work. And if 3812 02:38:24,573 --> 02:38:26,609 you look at our jail population, 3813 02:38:26,609 --> 02:38:28,276 it's not nearly what it was. I 3814 02:38:28,276 --> 02:38:29,811 think we're doing a great job 3815 02:38:29,811 --> 02:38:32,147 reducing the amount of crime. 3816 02:38:32,147 --> 02:38:35,284 So this is a place that's hard 3817 02:38:35,284 --> 02:38:36,885 to find -- it's hard to find a 3818 02:38:36,885 --> 02:38:39,722 place. It's done a great job 3819 02:38:39,722 --> 02:38:41,957 with juveniles. So much so that 3820 02:38:41,957 --> 02:38:42,958 this place MAY not be needed for 3821 02:38:42,958 --> 02:38:45,940 that purpose anymore. Where is 3822 02:38:45,940 --> 02:38:45,960 it? It's bounded by the flight 3823 02:38:45,960 --> 02:38:48,297 control channel and freeways, 3824 02:38:48,297 --> 02:38:50,533 and it's gated. It's not near 3825 02:38:50,533 --> 02:38:52,934 any home or any type of threat. 3826 02:38:52,934 --> 02:38:55,170 So what this is doing is 3827 02:38:55,170 --> 02:38:57,372 reducing the possibility of 3828 02:38:57,372 --> 02:38:59,808 crime into our county. And if 3829 02:38:59,808 --> 02:39:01,543 we didn't have this kind of 3830 02:39:01,543 --> 02:39:03,780 center, where would these people 3831 02:39:03,780 --> 02:39:05,146 go? I dare say many of them 3832 02:39:05,146 --> 02:39:07,383 would be on the streets of santa 3833 02:39:07,383 --> 02:39:09,500 ana unsupervised. And this is 3834 02:39:09,500 --> 02:39:11,219 not anything that's secret. 3835 02:39:11,219 --> 02:39:13,788 It's been there a long time. 3836 02:39:13,788 --> 02:39:14,990 We've had chiefs of police in 3837 02:39:14,990 --> 02:39:17,393 santa ana serving on this board. 3838 02:39:17,393 --> 02:39:19,494 I have a chief of a large city 3839 02:39:19,494 --> 02:39:20,630 and one small as well on this 3840 02:39:20,630 --> 02:39:24,230 board. And it's been a major 3841 02:39:24,233 --> 02:39:25,967 effort to get to this point. 3842 02:39:25,967 --> 02:39:27,503 And my view is I want to thank 3843 02:39:27,503 --> 02:39:30,406 our ceo as part her legacy that 3844 02:39:30,406 --> 02:39:31,307 we've come this far. She's done 3845 02:39:31,307 --> 02:39:33,609 a tremendous job in helping this 3846 02:39:33,609 --> 02:39:35,878 go forward. It's very important 3847 02:39:35,878 --> 02:39:38,878 that this last component be 3848 02:39:38,981 --> 02:39:39,782 completed. And I don't 3849 02:39:39,782 --> 02:39:41,840 don't 3850 02:39:41,840 --> 02:39:43,319 know where the right place would 3851 02:39:43,319 --> 02:39:45,870 be, although, this has got more 3852 02:39:45,870 --> 02:39:46,656 barriers around it than any 3853 02:39:46,656 --> 02:39:48,570 other that I've seen. It's 3854 02:39:48,570 --> 02:39:51,194 pretty unusual that you can find 3855 02:39:51,194 --> 02:39:52,829 a place like that. Whenever it 3856 02:39:52,829 --> 02:39:54,130 is, it's going to reduce crime 3857 02:39:54,130 --> 02:39:56,466 in the area that it is situated 3858 02:39:56,466 --> 02:39:58,868 in. So as the chair, which I 3859 02:39:58,868 --> 02:40:02,468 have been for several years, the 3860 02:40:02,605 --> 02:40:05,641 oc c jcc, as we call it, I know 3861 02:40:05,641 --> 02:40:07,243 how important this is.

And so 3865 02:40:17,854 --> 02:40:20,854 with the suggestion change that 3866 02:40:20,889 --> 02:40:23,525 we delete 4a on this department 3867 02:40:23,525 --> 02:40:27,125 of conditions thing, and I think 3868 02:40:28,640 --> 02:40:30,466 we've taken care of the dna 3869 02:40:30,466 --> 02:40:31,600 staff I think it's otherwise 3870 02:40:31,600 --> 02:40:32,100 appropriate to simply move the 3871 02:40:32,100 --> 02:40:33,936 budget as been presented 3872 02:40:33,936 --> 02:40:34,136 >>v.

I apologize for 3879 02:40:44,813 --> 02:40:46,148 doing this, but I would like to 3880 02:40:46,148 --> 02:40:48,148 discuss specifically your 3881 02:40:50,850 --> 02:40:51,487 proposal to delete from the 3882 02:40:51,487 --> 02:40:53,389 retirement system assistance 3883 02:40:53,389 --> 02:40:53,551 program policy that language in 3884 02:40:53,551 --> 02:40:55,425 4a 3885 02:40:55,425 --> 02:40:55,792 >>chair, doug chaffee: need a 3886 02:40:55,792 --> 02:40:57,626 separate motion 3887 02:40:57,626 --> 02:40:58,528 >>leon page: no. I just want to 3888 02:40:58,528 --> 02:40:59,161 highlight the legal concerns 3889 02:40:59,161 --> 02:41:01,797 that I have. The purpose of 3890 02:41:01,797 --> 02:41:04,797 this program is to encourage 3891 02:41:05,400 --> 02:41:06,435 voluntary separations. In each 3892 02:41:06,435 --> 02:41:08,835 department can fill every 3893 02:41:10,173 --> 02:41:12,408 position that's vacated and then 3894 02:41:12,408 --> 02:41:14,808 also pays $20,000 to the 3895 02:41:15,311 --> 02:41:17,711 departing employee, without the 3896 02:41:17,846 --> 02:41:19,415 language requiring that the 3897 02:41:19,415 --> 02:41:21,815 positions remain vacant, this 3898 02:41:21,818 --> 02:41:23,820 will backfire on you and you'll 3899 02:41:23,820 --> 02:41:24,921 suddenly have $20,000 hits while 3900 02:41:24,921 --> 02:41:27,757 also paying the salaries of the 3901 02:41:27,757 --> 02:41:30,940 new employees that are hired. 3902 02:41:30,940 --> 02:41:31,961 Now, I do believe that the ceo 3903 02:41:31,961 --> 02:41:34,300 has the existing authority under 3904 02:41:34,300 --> 02:41:35,432 county ordinance to freeze 3905 02:41:35,432 --> 02:41:37,134 vacant positions. Now, the 3906 02:41:37,134 --> 02:41:38,668 board does control the master 3907 02:41:38,668 --> 02:41:40,870 position control, and it's 3908 02:41:40,870 --> 02:41:42,105 through that document, through a 3909 02:41:42,105 --> 02:41:42,739 instrument that the board 3910 02:41:42,739 --> 02:41:45,739 controls the total number of 3911 02:41:46,409 --> 02:41:48,712 positions. But my expectation 3912 02:41:48,712 --> 02:41:50,180 is that if there are employees 3913 02:41:50,180 --> 02:41:52,482 and departments taking advantage 3914 02:41:52,482 --> 02:41:54,500 of this program, that the ceo 3915 02:41:54,500 --> 02:41:55,418 will administratively freeze 3916 02:41:55,418 --> 02:41:56,953 those positions, even if the ceo 3917 02:41:56,953 --> 02:41:58,255 can't delete them because that's 3918 02:41:58,255 --> 02:41:59,289 a board function. Those 3919 02:41:59,289 --> 02:42:02,289 positions will be frozen. I 3920 02:42:02,391 --> 02:42:03,894 think it's important that the 3921 02:42:03,894 --> 02:42:06,228 board understand that, that 3922 02:42:06,228 --> 02:42:07,290 there will still be impacts 3923 02:42:07,290 --> 02:42:09,766 because if the board's intention 3924 02:42:09,766 --> 02:42:10,934 is to fill every position that's 3925 02:42:10,934 --> 02:42:13,300 vacated, then I would recommend 3926 02:42:13,300 --> 02:42:13,904 you not adopt this policy 3927 02:42:13,904 --> 02:42:16,238 because it will make your budget 3928 02:42:16,238 --> 02:42:17,506 situation much worse. My second 3929 02:42:17,506 --> 02:42:18,674 comment is the amount of the 3930 02:42:18,674 --> 02:42:19,909 incentive is not actually 3931 02:42:19,909 --> 02:42:22,178 mentioned in the policy that's 3932 02:42:22,178 --> 02:42:23,913 before you today, and I am 3933 02:42:23,913 --> 02:42:26,480 concerned that, providing the 3934 02:42:26,480 --> 02:42:27,650 ceo with unbounded discretion as 3935 02:42:27,650 --> 02:42:29,753 to the amount of the incentive, 3936 02:42:29,753 --> 02:42:33,123 would be problematic. So I do 3937 02:42:33,123 --> 02:42:35,358 believe in briefing the ceo has 3938 02:42:35,358 --> 02:42:37,758 mentioned a $20,000 payment to 3939 02:42:41,498 --> 02:42:43,299 the health reimbursement account 3940 02:42:43,299 --> 02:42:45,134 account, health retirement 3941 02:42:45,134 --> 02:42:46,235 account. So I would recommend 3942 02:42:46,235 --> 02:42:47,636 that that amount be included and 3943 02:42:47,636 --> 02:42:49,672 I want the board to be aware 3944 02:42:49,672 --> 02:42:50,774 that the ceo does have the 3945 02:42:50,774 --> 02:42:52,876 authority to freeze vacant 3946 02:42:52,876 --> 02:42:53,810 positions and I expect positions 3947 02:42:53,810 --> 02:42:57,470 vacated as a result of this 3948 02:42:57,470 --> 02:43:00,470 program will be frozen. Thank 3949 02:43:01,184 --> 02:43:02,351 you. 3950 02:43:02,351 --> 02:43:02,618 >>chair, doug chaffee: 3951 02:43:02,618 --> 02:43:03,587 vice-chair 3952 02:43:03,587 --> 02:43:04,755 >>v. Chair, katrina foley: thank 3953 02:43:04,755 --> 02:43:06,756 you, MR. CHAIRMAN. I appreciate 3954 02:43:06,756 --> 02:43:07,557 those comments. From my 3955 02:43:07,557 --> 02:43:09,590 perspective, the freeze 3956 02:43:09,590 --> 02:43:10,461 something one thing. The 3957 02:43:10,461 --> 02:43:11,228 deleting of the positions is all 3958 02:43:11,228 --> 02:43:12,295 together different, and we do 3959 02:43:12,295 --> 02:43:15,895 have a hiring freeze right now, 3960 02:43:16,734 --> 02:43:17,634 so nothing would change. The 3961 02:43:17,634 --> 02:43:19,569 discretion of the ceo to work 3962 02:43:19,569 --> 02:43:20,671 with the department head to 3963 02:43:20,671 --> 02:43:22,773 determine whether or not that 3964 02:43:22,773 --> 02:43:24,307 position is a necessary position 3965 02:43:24,307 --> 02:43:26,430 needing to be filled would 3966 02:43:26,430 --> 02:43:27,543 continue. But we won't lose the 3967 02:43:27,543 --> 02:43:28,946 positions. We'll gain the 3968 02:43:28,946 --> 02:43:30,800 salary savings because many of 3969 02:43:30,800 --> 02:43:32,683 the individuals in the positions 3970 02:43:32,683 --> 02:43:36,587 are at a much higher salary than 3971 02:43:36,587 --> 02:43:37,554 the rest of the group who might 3972 02:43:37,554 --> 02:43:38,956 take advantage of this. And 3973 02:43:38,956 --> 02:43:42,920 then we also will, as I 3974 02:43:42,920 --> 02:43:43,293 understand it -- we will have a 3975 02:43:43,293 --> 02:43:46,893 savings as it relates to the 3976 02:43:48,131 --> 02:43:50,266 pensions because many of these 3977 02:43:50,266 --> 02:43:53,266 are individuals who are not 3978 02:43:54,805 --> 02:43:55,938 subject to pepra. So the new 3979 02:43:55,938 --> 02:43:57,474 pepra rules are less burdensome 3980 02:43:57,474 --> 02:43:59,809 on the county contribution. So 3981 02:43:59,809 --> 02:44:01,778 I do think that there will be 3982 02:44:01,778 --> 02:44:02,945 savings. I think the hiring 3983 02:44:02,945 --> 02:44:04,347 freeze, I would expect that that 3984 02:44:04,347 --> 02:44:06,484 be continued until we say it's 3985 02:44:06,484 --> 02:44:08,251 not. There's a policy question, 3986 02:44:08,251 --> 02:44:09,653 not really a legal one. And as 3987 02:44:09,653 --> 02:44:12,653 a policy matter, I sport 3988 02:44:13,790 --> 02:44:16,560 deletion.

We had a bill, ab2194 5413 03:30:07,360 --> 03:30:07,936 that was authored by 5414 03:30:07,936 --> 03:30:10,730 assemblymember valencia and was 5415 03:30:10,730 --> 03:30:11,707 carrying a bill for us, which 5416 03:30:11,707 --> 03:30:13,309 was really sort of a simple 5417 03:30:13,309 --> 03:30:14,777 bill. I guess the general 5418 03:30:14,777 --> 03:30:17,280 intent was to stagger terms of 5419 03:30:17,280 --> 03:30:18,614 the appointees to the cal optima 5420 03:30:18,614 --> 03:30:20,783 board of directors. I want to 5421 03:30:20,783 --> 03:30:23,819 thank you, MR. Chair, because I 5422 03:30:23,819 --> 03:30:26,819 know that the author basically 5423 03:30:27,560 --> 03:30:28,558 revised the bill extensively, 5424 03:30:28,558 --> 03:30:30,994 and it is a much different bill 5425 03:30:30,994 --> 03:30:33,129 than what was first proposed by 5426 03:30:33,129 --> 03:30:36,266 this board and supported by this 5427 03:30:36,266 --> 03:30:38,168 board. So it is in essence to 5428 03:30:38,168 --> 03:30:40,568 remove the county supervisors 5429 03:30:40,704 --> 03:30:42,505 from serving on the board of 5430 03:30:42,505 --> 03:30:43,640 directors at cal optima but also 5431 03:30:43,640 --> 03:30:46,400 creating an appointment body 5432 03:30:47,770 --> 03:30:48,444 made up of an assembly member, 5433 03:30:48,444 --> 03:30:50,713 senator, and a member of 5434 03:30:50,713 --> 03:30:53,113 congress that represent medi-cal 5435 03:30:53,382 --> 03:30:56,152 members here in the county. So 5436 03:30:56,152 --> 03:30:58,587 I know that one of the first 5437 03:30:58,587 --> 03:31:00,900 things that you did when we 5438 03:31:00,900 --> 03:31:02,426 received that revisions and that 5439 03:31:02,426 --> 03:31:04,527 new bill was way letter in 5440 03:31:04,527 --> 03:31:06,610 opposition. So I thank you, 5441 03:31:06,610 --> 03:31:07,630 MR. Chair, for doing that 5442 03:31:07,630 --> 03:31:09,465 quickly. You were on the board, 5443 03:31:09,465 --> 03:31:11,801 and you've been served on the 5444 03:31:11,801 --> 03:31:13,803 board of cal optima and you know 5445 03:31:13,803 --> 03:31:15,472 that we have been trying to do 5446 03:31:15,472 --> 03:31:16,373 very good things there under 5447 03:31:16,373 --> 03:31:18,373 some difficult circumstances. 5448 03:31:18,608 --> 03:31:19,308 So, you know, the county's 5449 03:31:19,308 --> 03:31:21,708 operated under a county 5450 03:31:22,111 --> 03:31:23,946 organized health system model 5451 03:31:23,946 --> 03:31:25,949 that's allowed for, you know, 5452 03:31:25,949 --> 03:31:27,830 local leaders, community 5453 03:31:27,830 --> 03:31:29,830 stakeholders, providers, and 5454 03:31:29,386 --> 03:31:31,520 public representatives to have 5455 03:31:31,520 --> 03:31:33,920 meaningful voice in the 5456 03:31:34,423 --> 03:31:35,900 oversight of a multibillion 5457 03:31:35,900 --> 03:31:37,900 dollar organization responsible 5458 03:31:37,594 --> 03:31:38,494 for delivering health care to 5459 03:31:38,494 --> 03:31:40,960 our residents here, especially 5460 03:31:40,960 --> 03:31:43,960 our seniors, those who are 5461 03:31:43,133 --> 03:31:45,334 disabled and low income. So 5462 03:31:45,334 --> 03:31:46,669 today, you know, caloptima is 5463 03:31:46,669 --> 03:31:48,471 arguably one of the strongest 5464 03:31:48,471 --> 03:31:50,774 and most stable it's been. It's 5465 03:31:50,774 --> 03:31:52,341 been under some pressure in the 5466 03:31:52,341 --> 03:31:54,577 past I know our former 5467 03:31:54,577 --> 03:31:56,178 colleague, who is now serving 5468 03:31:56,178 --> 03:31:58,280 five years in federal prison for 5469 03:31:58,280 --> 03:32:00,149 corruption, was the chair. So I 5470 03:32:00,149 --> 03:32:03,553 know the board did a very good 5471 03:32:03,553 --> 03:32:04,553 job of trying to audit a lot of 5472 03:32:04,553 --> 03:32:06,823 the contracts he was involved in 5473 03:32:06,823 --> 03:32:09,793 when he was there serving on the 5474 03:32:09,793 --> 03:32:12,280 board. We've also done 5475 03:32:12,280 --> 03:32:14,428 investigations into issues that 5476 03:32:15,980 --> 03:32:16,767 were concerning and -- to the 5477 03:32:16,767 --> 03:32:18,201 public. But we've also done 5478 03:32:18,201 --> 03:32:20,437 incredible work in making sure 5479 03:32:20,437 --> 03:32:21,738 that there's more transparency 5480 03:32:21,738 --> 03:32:24,275 and better governance there. So 5481 03:32:24,275 --> 03:32:26,811 I do think that it's a much 5482 03:32:26,811 --> 03:32:28,211 better performing board of 5483 03:32:28,211 --> 03:32:29,450 directors and health plan, and I 5484 03:32:29,450 --> 03:32:31,349 think it's something that we can 5485 03:32:31,349 --> 03:32:33,500 all be proud of, which is why we 5486 03:32:33,500 --> 03:32:35,852 were kind of surprised to see a 5487 03:32:35,852 --> 03:32:38,187 very extensively revised bill 5488 03:32:38,187 --> 03:32:41,224 from what was agreed upon here 5489 03:32:41,224 --> 03:32:43,560 at county. And I know there was 5490 03:32:43,560 --> 03:32:45,262 some discussion at the board of 5491 03:32:45,262 --> 03:32:47,264 directors at caloptima about an 5492 03:32:47,264 --> 03:32:50,264 leapt of the original bill, 5493 03:32:50,534 --> 03:32:52,135 which had to do with providing 5494 03:32:52,135 --> 03:32:54,371 closed session information to 5495 03:32:54,371 --> 03:32:56,771 the alternate. There was 5496 03:32:56,774 --> 03:32:58,708 healthy debate. The board 5497 03:32:58,708 --> 03:33:01,245 majority chose to not support 5498 03:33:01,245 --> 03:33:02,980 that part of the bill. But when 5499 03:33:02,980 --> 03:33:05,214 it came back to the county, 5500 03:33:05,214 --> 03:33:07,484 there was no change. So the 5501 03:33:07,484 --> 03:33:10,721 bill stood as it was originally 5502 03:33:10,721 --> 03:33:13,721 drafted, and it included that, 5503 03:33:14,570 --> 03:33:15,759 despite the decision and the 5504 03:33:15,759 --> 03:33:17,494 direction at the caloptima board 5505 03:33:17,494 --> 03:33:19,610 of directors. So I know that, 5506 03:33:19,610 --> 03:33:21,130 you know, tomorrow this bill 5507 03:33:21,130 --> 03:33:22,865 will be heard. This revised 5508 03:33:22,865 --> 03:33:25,768 bill will be heard at the senate 5509 03:33:25,768 --> 03:33:27,470 health committee. And it is 5510 03:33:27,470 --> 03:33:30,139 moving very fast. It is a bill 5511 03:33:30,139 --> 03:33:31,307 that was introduced at 11th 5512 03:33:31,307 --> 03:33:33,243 hour, a very, very different 5513 03:33:33,243 --> 03:33:34,977 version of what this board had 5514 03:33:34,977 --> 03:33:38,150 agreed to support. So one of 5515 03:33:38,150 --> 03:33:39,716 the other elements of this is 5516 03:33:39,716 --> 03:33:41,170 that, you know, what causes 5517 03:33:41,170 --> 03:33:43,353 heightened concern is that 5518 03:33:43,353 --> 03:33:46,290 orange county would become the 5519 03:33:46,290 --> 03:33:48,591 only one of the 34 counties 5520 03:33:48,591 --> 03:33:50,991 served by california's organized 5521 03:33:51,661 --> 03:33:52,428 health system without directly 5522 03:33:52,428 --> 03:33:54,164 elected county board of 5523 03:33:54,164 --> 03:33:56,564 supervisors on its governing 5524 03:33:57,201 --> 03:33:58,601 board. That really makes us an 5525 03:33:58,601 --> 03:34:00,838 outlier and wouldn't have that 5526 03:34:00,838 --> 03:34:01,738 accountability that many of us 5527 03:34:01,738 --> 03:34:04,675 believe is important to have 5528 03:34:04,675 --> 03:34:05,677 elected officials on there. 5529 03:34:05,677 --> 03:34:08,770 There's only two supervisors 5530 03:34:08,179 --> 03:34:11,179 that serve on a nine-person 5531 03:34:11,949 --> 03:34:14,251 board. So we certainly have a 5532 03:34:14,251 --> 03:34:15,786 role, I think, to be responsive 5533 03:34:15,786 --> 03:34:18,689 to the members and to the 5534 03:34:18,689 --> 03:34:20,324 taxpayers here that stand that 5535 03:34:20,324 --> 03:34:23,360 public health plan up. But the 5536 03:34:23,360 --> 03:34:26,196 appointed members have a very 5537 03:34:26,196 --> 03:34:29,796 robust role. I know that for 5538 03:34:30,334 --> 03:34:34,205 the past year, we had the -- 5539 03:34:34,205 --> 03:34:35,806 appointed member isabel becerra 5540 03:34:35,806 --> 03:34:36,440 serve as our chair for a year 5541 03:34:36,440 --> 03:34:38,800 and a half.

Just 5575 03:35:49,947 --> 03:35:52,250 recently, we adopted a $430 5576 03:35:52,250 --> 03:35:53,117 million rig provider -- rate 5577 03:35:53,117 --> 03:35:55,387 provider increase to make sure 5578 03:35:55,387 --> 03:35:57,550 that our medi-cal members and 5579 03:35:57,550 --> 03:35:59,156 caloptima members continue to 5580 03:35:59,156 --> 03:35:59,757 receive support from the 5581 03:35:59,757 --> 03:36:01,559 physicians, from the hospitals 5582 03:36:01,559 --> 03:36:03,394 and everybody else in our 5583 03:36:03,394 --> 03:36:05,363 network.

So that was 5588 03:36:13,370 --> 03:36:14,772 something that was important for 5589 03:36:14,772 --> 03:36:16,707 us to do because we want to 5590 03:36:16,707 --> 03:36:18,308 support our providers so they 5591 03:36:18,308 --> 03:36:20,578 can support our member 5592 03:36:20,578 --> 03:36:22,814 recipients. But I do -- I would 5593 03:36:22,814 --> 03:36:24,449 ask this board to change its 5594 03:36:24,449 --> 03:36:26,849 position from its original 5595 03:36:27,318 --> 03:36:30,318 support position of the original 5596 03:36:30,888 --> 03:36:32,550 draft of ab2194 to an opposed 5597 03:36:32,550 --> 03:36:34,391 position because it's a much 5598 03:36:34,391 --> 03:36:37,391 different bill than what was 5599 03:36:38,829 --> 03:36:39,963 introduced originally. I know 5600 03:36:39,963 --> 03:36:42,963 that our local advocates that 5601 03:36:43,700 --> 03:36:45,836 are on our -- you know, on our 5602 03:36:45,836 --> 03:36:47,700 sacramento side precision have 5603 03:36:47,700 --> 03:36:48,605 been working feverishly to make 5604 03:36:48,605 --> 03:36:50,675 sure that they're able to tell 5605 03:36:50,675 --> 03:36:51,875 our story.

And I think there is 5614 03:37:06,724 --> 03:37:08,560 some clarity. I think the only 5615 03:37:08,560 --> 03:37:11,195 letters so far that we've seen 5616 03:37:11,195 --> 03:37:12,950 in support was from ocea but we 5617 03:37:12,950 --> 03:37:14,198 were assured that they were 5618 03:37:14,198 --> 03:37:17,198 going to withdraw that and 5619 03:37:18,135 --> 03:37:19,670 submit an oppose letter because 5620 03:37:19,670 --> 03:37:20,771 that -- that letter that they 5621 03:37:20,771 --> 03:37:22,740 originally sent was in support 5622 03:37:22,740 --> 03:37:25,944 of the original draft the bill. 5623 03:37:25,944 --> 03:37:28,779 So there is an urgency to this. 5624 03:37:28,779 --> 03:37:29,580 I believe that supervisors have 5625 03:37:29,580 --> 03:37:30,647 an incredibly critical role. 5626 03:37:30,647 --> 03:37:32,717 This county has stood this plan 5627 03:37:32,717 --> 03:37:34,919 up and has had a seat on that 5628 03:37:34,919 --> 03:37:37,254 table to make sure that there's 5629 03:37:37,254 --> 03:37:38,756 balance, there's accountability, 5630 03:37:38,756 --> 03:37:40,559 and responsiveness to the public 5631 03:37:40,559 --> 03:37:42,594 and to the members that they 5632 03:37:42,594 --> 03:37:45,530 serve. So I would ask that this 5633 03:37:45,530 --> 03:37:47,132 board revise its position from 5634 03:37:47,132 --> 03:37:48,834 support of the original draft of 5635 03:37:48,834 --> 03:37:49,734 the bill to oppose. We 5636 03:37:49,734 --> 03:37:51,836 certainly are grateful to the 5637 03:37:51,836 --> 03:37:54,205 author for carrying the original 5638 03:37:54,205 --> 03:37:55,140 bill.

And so 5746 03:41:35,861 --> 03:41:37,663 I ask him whether the 5747 03:41:37,663 --> 03:41:39,398 restructuring the governance 5748 03:41:39,398 --> 03:41:40,532 model now through his new gut 5749 03:41:40,532 --> 03:41:44,132 and amend bill, that I believe 5750 03:41:45,538 --> 03:41:47,173 we can work together to strain 5751 03:41:47,173 --> 03:41:48,874 caloptima's oversight, implement 5752 03:41:48,874 --> 03:41:50,443 meaningful reforms, protect 5753 03:41:50,443 --> 03:41:52,100 taxpayers, members and the 5754 03:41:52,100 --> 03:41:53,511 public trust as well. So I know 5755 03:41:53,511 --> 03:41:55,800 a lot of things have been 5756 03:41:55,800 --> 03:41:57,183 happening since the weekend. I 5757 03:41:57,183 --> 03:41:58,318 reached out to the member of the 5758 03:41:58,318 --> 03:42:01,318 senate health committee as well 5759 03:42:04,123 --> 03:42:06,458 as I formerly have -- majority 5760 03:42:06,458 --> 03:42:07,260 my time up there, I served as 5761 03:42:07,260 --> 03:42:08,226 vice-chair of senate health. So 5762 03:42:08,226 --> 03:42:10,296 I'm very familiar, and it is 5763 03:42:10,296 --> 03:42:11,197 going to be a long day tomorrow. 5764 03:42:11,197 --> 03:42:12,300 It is the last day of that 5765 03:42:12,300 --> 03:42:14,133 committee hearing. And it will 5766 03:42:14,133 --> 03:42:15,867 also be my first time going back 5767 03:42:15,867 --> 03:42:18,770 to sacramento since I came back 5768 03:42:18,770 --> 03:42:20,373 here to the -- since I came back 5769 03:42:20,373 --> 03:42:21,907 here to the county, so I'm 5770 03:42:21,907 --> 03:42:23,208 actually excited to see some of 5771 03:42:23,208 --> 03:42:26,208 my former colleagues as well. 5772 03:42:26,446 --> 03:42:29,682 But to add to that, one is to 5773 03:42:29,682 --> 03:42:31,184 clarify ocea did send a letter, 5774 03:42:31,184 --> 03:42:33,318 resending their original support 5775 03:42:33,318 --> 03:42:35,687 as of late last night. And so 5776 03:42:35,687 --> 03:42:37,550 they do not -- so there is 5777 03:42:37,550 --> 03:42:39,991 currently no support for this 5778 03:42:39,991 --> 03:42:42,461 bill at all. So every 5779 03:42:42,461 --> 03:42:43,462 stakeholder in orange county, 5780 03:42:43,462 --> 03:42:45,862 bipartisan has actually stepped 5781 03:42:46,965 --> 03:42:50,702 up and is in opposition of the 5782 03:42:50,702 --> 03:42:53,106 bill. And on top of that, I do 5783 03:42:53,106 --> 03:42:54,841 agree with supervisor sarmiento, 5784 03:42:54,841 --> 03:42:57,978 that, you know, if there's an 5785 03:42:57,978 --> 03:43:00,978 opportunity, I think the board 5786 03:43:01,810 --> 03:43:03,216 should and could engage in 5787 03:43:03,216 --> 03:43:04,951 additional advocacy of working 5788 03:43:04,951 --> 03:43:07,351 alongside precision to continue 5789 03:43:07,953 --> 03:43:08,988 to work the bill if it does pass 5790 03:43:08,988 --> 03:43:11,388 the senate health committee. 5791 03:43:13,393 --> 03:43:16,993 There's been a lot of direction 5792 03:43:18,565 --> 03:43:20,366 from the caucus, from the health 5793 03:43:20,366 --> 03:43:22,366 senate caucus recommendation, 5794 03:43:23,736 --> 03:43:26,973 and so it's ongoing. And so I'm 5795 03:43:26,973 --> 03:43:28,775 hopeful that there would be some 5796 03:43:28,775 --> 03:43:32,211 resolution to -- for us to work 5797 03:43:32,211 --> 03:43:33,747 with the assembly man going 5798 03:43:33,747 --> 03:43:34,747 forward for any opportunity. If 5799 03:43:34,747 --> 03:43:36,348 he sees something that we 5800 03:43:36,348 --> 03:43:39,284 don't -- that we haven't seen, 5801 03:43:39,284 --> 03:43:40,787 let's work together because in 5802 03:43:40,787 --> 03:43:41,788 our conversation it's -- you 5803 03:43:41,788 --> 03:43:43,923 know, it's been a very good 5804 03:43:43,923 --> 03:43:45,457 conversation. And so I'm hoping 5805 03:43:45,457 --> 03:43:47,694 that we can partner with him. 5806 03:43:47,694 --> 03:43:49,996 And so with that, MR. CHAIRMAN, 5807 03:43:49,996 --> 03:43:53,233 I would like to make a motion 5808 03:43:53,233 --> 03:43:55,235 that we oppose the current gut 5809 03:43:55,235 --> 03:43:58,835 and amend bill and also allow 5810 03:43:59,380 --> 03:44:03,238 the chair and/or the ceo, if 5811 03:44:04,344 --> 03:44:06,846 sees fit, to add in -- to hire 5812 03:44:06,846 --> 03:44:08,548 on new additional -- not new, 5813 03:44:08,548 --> 03:44:10,583 additional advocacy if this 5814 03:44:10,583 --> 03:44:11,217 moves forward out of the senate 5815 03:44:11,217 --> 03:44:12,918 health committee tomorrow. So 5816 03:44:12,918 --> 03:44:13,253 that would be my motion, 5817 03:44:13,253 --> 03:44:14,520 MR. CHAIRMAN. 5818 03:44:14,520 --> 03:44:16,255 >>chair, doug chaffee: thank 5819 03:44:16,255 --> 03:44:18,491 you. And it's moved and 5820 03:44:18,491 --> 03:44:19,158 seconded. Vice-chair.. 5821 03:44:19,158 --> 03:44:20,593 >>v. Chair, katrina foley: thank 5822 03:44:20,593 --> 03:44:23,128 you, MR. CHAIRMAN. And thank 5823 03:44:23,128 --> 03:44:26,128 you to my colleagues for 5824 03:44:26,666 --> 03:44:28,334 sharing. I had a chance to meet 5825 03:44:28,334 --> 03:44:30,334 with assemblymember valencia 5826 03:44:30,503 --> 03:44:34,103 when I was in sacramento last 5827 03:44:34,340 --> 03:44:37,377 week. I was there to testify on 5828 03:44:37,377 --> 03:44:39,312 our county sponsored nitrous 5829 03:44:39,312 --> 03:44:40,614 oxide ban bill, and that did get 5830 03:44:40,614 --> 03:44:42,949 out of committee. 19-0. Happy 5831 03:44:42,949 --> 03:44:43,950 to hear. But we did have a 5832 03:44:43,950 --> 03:44:46,950 chance because this landed that 5833 03:44:48,955 --> 03:44:50,230 same day. So I had a chance to 5834 03:44:50,230 --> 03:44:52,580 talk with the assembly man. 5835 03:44:52,580 --> 03:44:54,428 And, you know, I'm not going to 5836 03:44:54,428 --> 03:44:56,530 get involved in relitigating 5837 03:44:56,530 --> 03:44:57,465 every issue that relates to 5838 03:44:57,465 --> 03:44:58,498 caloptima and what happened and 5839 03:44:58,498 --> 03:45:00,467 didn't happen and what kind of 5840 03:45:00,467 --> 03:45:02,200 triggered this for him as it 5841 03:45:02,200 --> 03:45:04,938 relates to some of the decisions 5842 03:45:04,938 --> 03:45:08,730 by the caloptima board, but what 5843 03:45:08,730 --> 03:45:10,477 I did hear him say, and I am 5844 03:45:10,477 --> 03:45:12,946 concerned about, is that his 5845 03:45:12,946 --> 03:45:15,946 office reached out several times 5846 03:45:16,683 --> 03:45:18,285 to us to ask about clarification 5847 03:45:18,285 --> 03:45:20,685 because there was conflicting 5848 03:45:20,721 --> 03:45:22,550 information of position coming 5849 03:45:22,550 --> 03:45:24,423 out of the caloptima board and 5850 03:45:24,423 --> 03:45:27,259 the county board. And -- where 5851 03:45:27,259 --> 03:45:28,762 we have two board members 60 on 5852 03:45:28,762 --> 03:45:30,597 the caloptima board and yet we 5853 03:45:30,597 --> 03:45:32,997 had two different positions. 5854 03:45:35,668 --> 03:45:37,470 And so they reached out, and 5855 03:45:37,470 --> 03:45:40,470 nobody responded. And so I 5856 03:45:41,908 --> 03:45:44,143 think that that also caused a 5857 03:45:44,143 --> 03:45:46,479 concern, and I think that we 5858 03:45:46,479 --> 03:45:49,583 need to, you know, as a 5859 03:45:49,583 --> 03:45:51,830 procedural matter, if there's a 5860 03:45:51,830 --> 03:45:53,419 board office sponsoring a bill, 5861 03:45:53,419 --> 03:45:54,820 then maybe they should be the 5862 03:45:54,820 --> 03:45:55,656 point person to respond. Or if 5863 03:45:55,656 --> 03:45:57,156 they're not available to 5864 03:45:57,156 --> 03:45:58,570 respond, then the CHAIRMAN 5865 03:45:58,570 --> 03:46:00,457 Should respond. But someone 5866 03:46:01,695 --> 03:46:04,695 needs to respond. My bigger 5867 03:46:06,366 --> 03:46:08,768 worry with this is that we 5868 03:46:08,768 --> 03:46:09,836 have -- now, this is a couple of 5869 03:46:09,836 --> 03:46:12,638 pieces of legislation over the 5870 03:46:12,638 --> 03:46:14,141 last couple of years that are 5871 03:46:14,141 --> 03:46:15,141 directed over at county of 5872 03:46:15,141 --> 03:46:16,576 orange board of supervisors. 5873 03:46:16,576 --> 03:46:18,878 And it really sends the wrong 5874 03:46:18,878 --> 03:46:21,878 message to the state legislature 5875 03:46:23,116 --> 03:46:26,287 about the work we're doing here, 5876 03:46:26,287 --> 03:46:27,989 about whether or not legislators 5877 03:46:27,989 --> 03:46:29,690 should carry a bill for us, and 5878 03:46:29,690 --> 03:46:31,826 wonder if our position might 5879 03:46:31,826 --> 03:46:33,160 shift at a later time. So I 5880 03:46:33,160 --> 03:46:34,295 hope that doesn't happen. I 5881 03:46:34,295 --> 03:46:37,295 hope these issues can get 5882 03:46:37,865 --> 03:46:39,266 resolved. There are some 5883 03:46:39,266 --> 03:46:41,902 elements to the gut and amend 5884 03:46:41,902 --> 03:46:44,104 revised bill that I do think are 5885 03:46:44,104 --> 03:46:46,507 valued. And I so I would ask 5886 03:46:46,507 --> 03:46:50,100 that you take a position of 5887 03:46:50,100 --> 03:46:52,580 oppose unless amended. I do 5888 03:46:52,580 --> 03:46:55,115 think that it is important to 5889 03:46:55,115 --> 03:46:57,851 have the health care director 5890 03:46:57,851 --> 03:46:59,353 and the social services agency's 5891 03:46:59,353 --> 03:47:01,488 director as voting members on 5892 03:47:01,488 --> 03:47:03,523 the board. I think that they 5893 03:47:03,523 --> 03:47:06,523 are integral to the operations 5894 03:47:07,695 --> 03:47:08,896 of how do we serve the community 5895 03:47:08,896 --> 03:47:12,496 being served. And so I actually 5896 03:47:15,836 --> 03:47:17,838 do agree with that. I think 5897 03:47:17,838 --> 03:47:20,740 that -- what the assembly man 5898 03:47:20,740 --> 03:47:21,509 told me is that he was removing 5899 03:47:21,509 --> 03:47:22,142 the three elected officials that 5900 03:47:22,142 --> 03:47:23,210 he had proposed for the 5901 03:47:23,210 --> 03:47:24,945 selection committee. And just 5902 03:47:24,945 --> 03:47:26,380 to be clear, he wasn't proposing 5903 03:47:26,380 --> 03:47:28,715 the three elected officials to 5904 03:47:28,715 --> 03:47:30,918 sit on the actual caloptima 5905 03:47:30,918 --> 03:47:32,519 board. They were just being 5906 03:47:32,519 --> 03:47:33,954 proposed on a selection 5907 03:47:33,954 --> 03:47:36,189 committee to select the board 5908 03:47:36,189 --> 03:47:38,240 members for the caloptima board, 5909 03:47:38,240 --> 03:47:40,127 which he has shared with me that 5910 03:47:40,127 --> 03:47:43,727 he is removing them. I don't 5911 03:47:43,930 --> 03:47:46,267 know if that's happened yet, and 5912 03:47:46,267 --> 03:47:48,735 so I also shared with him that 5913 03:47:48,735 --> 03:47:49,303 the selection committee didn't 5914 03:47:49,303 --> 03:47:51,638 have a procedure on how to 5915 03:47:51,638 --> 03:47:54,641 select people. So that, if it 5916 03:47:54,641 --> 03:47:56,760 goes forward, would have to get 5917 03:47:56,760 --> 03:47:59,760 corrected. So my concern that 5918 03:48:02,415 --> 03:48:06,150 there is support for this bill 5919 03:48:08,489 --> 03:48:12,260 and I would like us to see an 5920 03:48:12,260 --> 03:48:13,795 oppose, unless amended, another 5921 03:48:13,795 --> 03:48:14,863 amendment that would of course 5922 03:48:14,863 --> 03:48:16,664 support adding our two county 5923 03:48:16,664 --> 03:48:17,798 board members back on the 5924 03:48:17,798 --> 03:48:19,500 caloptima board. I do think 5925 03:48:19,500 --> 03:48:21,435 there's value having the board 5926 03:48:21,435 --> 03:48:23,670 member there is. I think if 5927 03:48:23,670 --> 03:48:25,473 this selection committee is 5928 03:48:25,473 --> 03:48:29,730 created, then that might solve a 5929 03:48:29,210 --> 03:48:30,511 concern that he has about undue 5930 03:48:30,511 --> 03:48:31,679 influence by the board and 5931 03:48:31,679 --> 03:48:34,679 selecting all the board members 5932 03:48:36,784 --> 03:48:40,384 for caloptima. So I support my 5933 03:48:41,322 --> 03:48:44,322 colleagues in trying to advocate 5934 03:48:44,559 --> 03:48:46,694 to maintain the board as is or 5935 03:48:46,694 --> 03:48:49,970 to at least get some changes 5936 03:48:49,970 --> 03:48:50,831 into this bill to benefit the 5937 03:48:50,831 --> 03:48:53,670 county and to maintain two 5938 03:48:53,670 --> 03:48:55,770 positions on that board. But I 5939 03:48:55,770 --> 03:48:59,970 worry that if we just take an 5940 03:49:00,808 --> 03:49:03,110 opposition position, that we are 5941 03:49:03,110 --> 03:49:05,446 not going to be successful. So 5942 03:49:05,446 --> 03:49:07,649 I'd like to request the maker of 5943 03:49:07,649 --> 03:49:10,751 the notion change your motion to 5944 03:49:10,751 --> 03:49:11,585 oppose unless amended.. 5945 03:49:11,585 --> 03:49:13,754 >>chair, doug chaffee: thank you 5946 03:49:13,754 --> 03:49:14,721 for that. At this point, I must 5947 03:49:14,721 --> 03:49:17,291 comment. As soon as we found 5948 03:49:17,291 --> 03:49:18,459 out theres a need for 5949 03:49:18,459 --> 03:49:20,859 clarification coming from the 5950 03:49:21,194 --> 03:49:24,465 assembly man, that very day, we 5951 03:49:24,465 --> 03:49:25,766 prepare adler to transmit. It 5952 03:49:25,766 --> 03:49:27,300 was ready the next day. There 5953 03:49:27,300 --> 03:49:28,803 was no delay in responding to 5954 03:49:28,803 --> 03:49:33,373 him at all from the time he made 5955 03:49:33,373 --> 03:49:34,575 his request. Before we could 5956 03:49:34,575 --> 03:49:37,411 transmit letter, we learned he 5957 03:49:37,411 --> 03:49:38,979 changed the bill. So it's 5958 03:49:38,979 --> 03:49:40,547 totally false that we didn't get 5959 03:49:40,547 --> 03:49:43,550 back to him on time. We tried 5960 03:49:43,550 --> 03:49:45,860 to immediately. He had this 5961 03:49:45,860 --> 03:49:48,220 premeditated ahead of time. You 5962 03:49:48,220 --> 03:49:51,220 can't make that dramatic a 5963 03:49:51,250 --> 03:49:52,827 change overnight. It was very 5964 03:49:52,827 --> 03:49:55,630 detailed change. Curiously win 5965 03:49:55,630 --> 03:49:58,630 read this amended version, it 5966 03:49:58,133 --> 03:50:00,601 would put him on a selection 5967 03:50:00,601 --> 03:50:02,805 committee. He's running for the 5968 03:50:02,805 --> 03:50:03,771 state senate and that's one of 5969 03:50:03,771 --> 03:50:06,400 the offices he had selected in 5970 03:50:06,400 --> 03:50:10,840 that bill. So I do not agree to 5971 03:50:13,982 --> 03:50:15,716 that position of amended with -- 5972 03:50:15,716 --> 03:50:17,919 -- posed unless amended. It's a 5973 03:50:17,919 --> 03:50:19,722 horrible bill. It just needs to 5974 03:50:19,722 --> 03:50:21,956 be killed moving forward. 5975 03:50:21,956 --> 03:50:24,192 Original idea, which we 5976 03:50:24,192 --> 03:50:25,260 promoted, was a bill we were 5977 03:50:25,260 --> 03:50:26,494 sponsoring, was simply to 5978 03:50:26,494 --> 03:50:28,830 stagger the terms of the 5979 03:50:28,830 --> 03:50:32,430 caloptima board so you have some 5980 03:50:32,466 --> 03:50:33,101 fep from year to year and get 5981 03:50:33,101 --> 03:50:36,101 better continuity and the other 5982 03:50:38,600 --> 03:50:40,410 was kind of an odd issue where 5983 03:50:40,410 --> 03:50:41,475 the interpretation is are you an 5984 03:50:41,475 --> 03:50:42,745 at facility that -- we do have 5985 03:50:42,745 --> 03:50:45,745 an alternate -- that you 5986 03:50:46,214 --> 03:50:47,514 couldn't have any closed session 5987 03:50:47,514 --> 03:50:50,514 material in advance unless you 5988 03:50:50,851 --> 03:50:52,786 suddenly became the person 5989 03:50:52,786 --> 03:50:54,321 involved.

And I did personally 6037 03:52:31,353 --> 03:52:32,487 apologize to the assembly man if 6038 03:52:32,487 --> 03:52:34,523 there was a lack of -- but I 6039 03:52:34,523 --> 03:52:36,658 don't think there was a -- 6040 03:52:36,658 --> 03:52:37,559 definitely, there was no 6041 03:52:37,559 --> 03:52:39,127 intention of a sign of any 6042 03:52:39,127 --> 03:52:40,695 disrespect or lack of interest 6043 03:52:40,695 --> 03:52:43,970 from the county. So I've shared 6044 03:52:43,970 --> 03:52:45,900 that with him. I do know that 6045 03:52:45,900 --> 03:52:48,270 we -- the county-led staff did 6046 03:52:48,270 --> 03:52:49,370 reach out on JUNE 2nd to his 6047 03:52:49,370 --> 03:52:51,405 chief of staff, obviously from 6048 03:52:51,405 --> 03:52:52,808 22nd to JUNE 2nd is quite a 6049 03:52:52,808 --> 03:52:53,908 difference in number of days, 6050 03:52:53,908 --> 03:52:55,610 but we did have the incident. 6051 03:52:55,610 --> 03:52:57,346 And I also mentioned to the 6052 03:52:57,346 --> 03:52:58,146 assembly man, I do appreciate 6053 03:52:58,146 --> 03:52:59,114 him because during the incident 6054 03:52:59,114 --> 03:53:01,516 he actually reached out to me, 6055 03:53:01,516 --> 03:53:03,785 offering if he could be of any 6056 03:53:03,785 --> 03:53:05,920 help, offering that anaheim has 6057 03:53:05,920 --> 03:53:07,656 hotels that they're -- you know, 6058 03:53:07,656 --> 03:53:09,570 he's talked to the hotels that 6059 03:53:09,570 --> 03:53:10,893 they're opening up to try to 6060 03:53:10,893 --> 03:53:13,495 help garden grove residents and 6061 03:53:13,495 --> 03:53:15,131 not just garden grove, but any 6062 03:53:15,131 --> 03:53:16,832 residents in the area, as well. 6063 03:53:16,832 --> 03:53:20,568 So I think that's a lack of 6064 03:53:20,568 --> 03:53:21,436 miscommunication and lack of -- 6065 03:53:21,436 --> 03:53:23,836 basically, lack of communication 6066 03:53:24,239 --> 03:53:26,542 between the two sides. And so I 6067 03:53:26,542 --> 03:53:26,756 did personally apologize to 6068 03:53:26,756 --> 03:53:28,756 that. 6069 03:53:30,546 --> 03:53:32,247 In regards to the aca and ssa, 6070 03:53:32,247 --> 03:53:35,847 the reason why I originally did 6071 03:53:36,819 --> 03:53:39,855 not want to include hca and ssa 6072 03:53:39,855 --> 03:53:42,191 as voting members is to show 6073 03:53:42,191 --> 03:53:44,920 that that would add more votes 6074 03:53:44,920 --> 03:53:45,227 to the county. I wanted to show 6075 03:53:45,227 --> 03:53:47,429 that there isn't that bias from 6076 03:53:47,429 --> 03:53:49,765 the county's side. So if you 6077 03:53:49,765 --> 03:53:52,735 add hca and ssa as voting 6078 03:53:52,735 --> 03:53:53,602 members, that would add two 6079 03:53:53,602 --> 03:53:55,204 sprofers supervises. That's 6080 03:53:55,204 --> 03:53:56,972 four voting members that could 6081 03:53:56,972 --> 03:53:58,974 potentially be considered, you 6082 03:53:58,974 --> 03:54:00,276 know, to some folks a self 6083 03:54:00,276 --> 03:54:03,276 interest from the county's side. 6084 03:54:03,611 --> 03:54:05,414 And so when I did the original 6085 03:54:05,414 --> 03:54:08,414 change back in -- almost 15 6086 03:54:09,850 --> 03:54:11,986 years ago, it was not to -- yes. 6087 03:54:11,986 --> 03:54:12,921 The importance of hca being 6088 03:54:12,921 --> 03:54:16,521 there at the table is extremely 6089 03:54:18,600 --> 03:54:19,694 important and she's very 6090 03:54:19,694 --> 03:54:21,960 valuable -- he or she, is very 6091 03:54:21,960 --> 03:54:24,960 valuable for that dispoj that 6092 03:54:24,133 --> 03:54:25,801 information. Because we do do 6093 03:54:25,801 --> 03:54:28,700 the behavioral health of the 6094 03:54:28,700 --> 03:54:30,171 county. And in working with 6095 03:54:30,171 --> 03:54:31,540 caloptima and also the 6096 03:54:31,540 --> 03:54:33,540 eligibility worker vice-versa. 6097 03:54:35,744 --> 03:54:38,246 So I stand by not wanting hca or 6098 03:54:38,246 --> 03:54:41,717 ssa to be a voting member. And 6099 03:54:41,717 --> 03:54:44,186 so I don't -- I would not be -- 6100 03:54:44,186 --> 03:54:47,155 withdraw my -- revising my 6101 03:54:47,155 --> 03:54:50,155 motion. And second with the 6102 03:54:51,260 --> 03:54:52,427 selection committee, you know I 6103 03:54:52,427 --> 03:54:54,363 think it's still problem make 6104 03:54:54,363 --> 03:54:56,763 the, even removing those 6105 03:54:56,898 --> 03:54:58,600 senators, the assemblymember and 6106 03:54:58,600 --> 03:55:00,502 congressional members. I did 6107 03:55:00,502 --> 03:55:02,738 share with the assembly man why 6108 03:55:02,738 --> 03:55:04,673 that part itself is problematic 6109 03:55:04,673 --> 03:55:08,273 because they -- all due respect 6110 03:55:09,478 --> 03:55:11,614 to those members -- haven't been 6111 03:55:11,614 --> 03:55:13,416 one. They don't see the daily 6112 03:55:13,416 --> 03:55:15,552 operations that we see here in 6113 03:55:15,552 --> 03:55:17,787 health care. And they're in 6114 03:55:17,787 --> 03:55:18,789 sacramento or D.C., so 6115 03:55:18,789 --> 03:55:20,924 ultimately it might be their 6116 03:55:20,924 --> 03:55:21,924 staff that come to be on that 6117 03:55:21,924 --> 03:55:23,993 slashing committee. So I 6118 03:55:23,993 --> 03:55:25,461 understood that, and he did 6119 03:55:25,461 --> 03:55:27,296 mention he would look at me 6120 03:55:27,296 --> 03:55:29,499 moving that part of it. I said 6121 03:55:29,499 --> 03:55:31,680 the rest of it is also 6122 03:55:31,680 --> 03:55:32,535 problematic because you have now 6123 03:55:32,535 --> 03:55:34,170 selection committee members who 6124 03:55:34,170 --> 03:55:35,571 would be appointing themselves. 6125 03:55:35,571 --> 03:55:36,372 You've got representatives from 6126 03:55:36,372 --> 03:55:37,373 the hospital, from thing you 6127 03:55:37,373 --> 03:55:38,641 know, all of the other 6128 03:55:38,641 --> 03:55:39,909 representatives. They're 6129 03:55:39,909 --> 03:55:41,544 actually the ones we're 6130 03:55:41,544 --> 03:55:43,112 selecting to be on that 6131 03:55:43,112 --> 03:55:45,140 committee, on that board. And 6132 03:55:45,140 --> 03:55:46,482 so now they're self-selecting 6133 03:55:46,482 --> 03:55:49,482 themselves. And I don't think 6134 03:55:50,720 --> 03:55:51,621 that should be it. Think the 6135 03:55:51,621 --> 03:55:53,856 current system, the which it's 6136 03:55:53,856 --> 03:55:54,657 working, not perfect, but I 6137 03:55:54,657 --> 03:55:57,657 think my intention originally is 6138 03:55:57,894 --> 03:56:00,229 to make it fair and balanced. 6139 03:56:00,229 --> 03:56:01,331 To making sure that the members 6140 03:56:01,331 --> 03:56:04,331 of caloptima whose actually in 6141 03:56:04,766 --> 03:56:06,968 the system is there, as well. 6142 03:56:06,968 --> 03:56:09,472 My original intent was that that 6143 03:56:09,472 --> 03:56:12,441 individual get a stipend, get 6144 03:56:12,441 --> 03:56:14,776 transportation stipend. Get a 6145 03:56:14,776 --> 03:56:16,311 daily stipend to show up and be 6146 03:56:16,311 --> 03:56:18,381 at these meetings because it is 6147 03:56:18,381 --> 03:56:20,183 difficult for them in terms of 6148 03:56:20,183 --> 03:56:23,510 financially. So that was all 6149 03:56:23,510 --> 03:56:26,510 the original intent. I think 6150 03:56:26,890 --> 03:56:26,723 that keeping at board of 6151 03:56:26,723 --> 03:56:29,123 supervisors, there is a 6152 03:56:29,291 --> 03:56:32,127 processed, and, you know, I it 6153 03:56:32,127 --> 03:56:33,363 has been working? Is it 6154 03:56:33,363 --> 03:56:35,763 perfect? Absolutely not. None 6155 03:56:36,980 --> 03:56:38,300 of the systems are. We'll 6156 03:56:38,300 --> 03:56:39,835 always look at it and look to 6157 03:56:39,835 --> 03:56:40,737 consider amendments. At this 6158 03:56:40,737 --> 03:56:42,938 moment right now in time is that 6159 03:56:42,938 --> 03:56:45,274 the bill and the recommendation 6160 03:56:45,274 --> 03:56:48,874 even at the caucus itself right 6161 03:56:50,460 --> 03:56:52,247 now is no, is not support bill 6162 03:56:52,247 --> 03:56:53,783 for the democratic caucus and 6163 03:56:53,783 --> 03:56:55,385 also the republican caucus. 6164 03:56:55,385 --> 03:56:57,720 There's a lot of moving parts 6165 03:56:57,720 --> 03:57:00,723 right now. And I think, you 6166 03:57:00,723 --> 03:57:02,959 know, tomorrow be a long day 6167 03:57:02,959 --> 03:57:05,495 because he is the 14th member 6168 03:57:05,495 --> 03:57:06,997 on that -- author for tomorrow's 6169 03:57:06,997 --> 03:57:09,232 agenda. And it's file order 6170 03:57:09,232 --> 03:57:11,334 only. And so we wouldn't know 6171 03:57:11,334 --> 03:57:13,350 when the bill's gonna be heard 6172 03:57:13,350 --> 03:57:14,770 and what the negotiation from 6173 03:57:14,770 --> 03:57:17,407 now into tomorrow as well. So 6174 03:57:17,407 --> 03:57:19,609 it's a moving target, and I 6175 03:57:19,609 --> 03:57:21,144 just -- I'm just hopeful that he 6176 03:57:21,144 --> 03:57:23,680 would just that I believe and 6177 03:57:23,680 --> 03:57:25,215 make it maybe a two-year bill or 6178 03:57:25,215 --> 03:57:26,160 can start over with us and work 6179 03:57:26,160 --> 03:57:27,617 on something. 6180 03:57:27,617 --> 03:57:29,617 But I cannot 6181 03:57:30,754 --> 03:57:33,754 support right now, you know, 6182 03:57:34,191 --> 03:57:35,892 hca, and then add on ssa as well 6183 03:57:35,892 --> 03:57:36,693 unless we have that longer 6184 03:57:36,693 --> 03:57:39,693 discussion, because I don't want 6185 03:57:41,163 --> 03:57:42,866 to make these, you know -- these 6186 03:57:42,866 --> 03:57:45,367 decisions last minute, just no 6187 03:57:45,367 --> 03:57:49,567 different than I'm not a big fan 6188 03:57:50,506 --> 03:57:52,175 when I was in the legislature. 6189 03:57:52,175 --> 03:57:55,212 We don't like the bills that 6190 03:57:55,212 --> 03:57:56,113 don't pass at all.

I just feel 6224 03:59:20,864 --> 03:59:21,532 that this is a different 6225 03:59:21,532 --> 03:59:22,732 proportional responsive to that. 6226 03:59:22,732 --> 03:59:25,102 There was a delay getting back 6227 03:59:25,102 --> 03:59:26,771 to the author to completely 6228 03:59:26,771 --> 03:59:28,772 undermine the way the board of 6229 03:59:28,772 --> 03:59:31,172 supervisors is configured and 6230 03:59:31,808 --> 03:59:34,208 selected to remove the 6231 03:59:34,978 --> 03:59:37,978 supervisors from this bad from 6232 03:59:38,140 --> 03:59:38,615 serving on there and something 6233 03:59:38,615 --> 03:59:40,950 accountable and working with 6234 03:59:40,950 --> 03:59:44,220 their employees is very that is 6235 03:59:44,220 --> 03:59:45,722 a very drastic departure. I 6236 03:59:45,722 --> 03:59:49,322 know DR. Kelley serves with us 6237 03:59:50,930 --> 03:59:53,930 on that board representing hca. 6238 03:59:53,960 --> 03:59:54,631 She is always a resource for 6239 03:59:54,631 --> 03:59:57,000 everyone on the board. And 6240 03:59:57,000 --> 03:59:57,901 because we're supervisors, we 6241 03:59:57,901 --> 03:59:59,335 oversee the entire incident 6242 03:59:59,335 --> 04:00:02,335 great thing you know, health 6243 04:00:03,840 --> 04:00:04,707 care number here in county. It 6244 04:00:04,707 --> 04:00:06,310 certainly does really help to 6245 04:00:06,310 --> 04:00:09,146 have her on there. So I 6246 04:00:09,146 --> 04:00:11,546 certainly appreciate her role. 6247 04:00:15,919 --> 04:00:19,550 Du I do ble that CHAIRMAN And -- 6248 04:00:19,550 --> 04:00:20,224 that doing an oppose unless 6249 04:00:20,224 --> 04:00:23,824 amended I think really won't get 6250 04:00:25,962 --> 04:00:28,533 us there. I think that -- the 6251 04:00:28,533 --> 04:00:29,967 point is this is a very 6252 04:00:29,967 --> 04:00:30,868 difficult bill now to try to 6253 04:00:30,868 --> 04:00:33,400 work on. I don't think an 6254 04:00:33,400 --> 04:00:34,538 amended version of this bill 6255 04:00:34,538 --> 04:00:36,741 will get the author back on 6256 04:00:36,741 --> 04:00:39,276 board. I just think that there 6257 04:00:39,276 --> 04:00:40,877 has to be some support for 6258 04:00:40,877 --> 04:00:43,877 saying let's work on something 6259 04:00:43,914 --> 04:00:45,383 with a clean slate. Let's come 6260 04:00:45,383 --> 04:00:48,383 back and completey open to 6261 04:00:48,586 --> 04:00:50,721 sitting down and working withing 6262 04:00:50,721 --> 04:00:52,790 author and his staff to go 6263 04:00:52,790 --> 04:00:56,390 through this. And if you has 6264 04:01:00,564 --> 04:01:01,998 the votes, to get it there. 6265 04:01:01,998 --> 04:01:03,234 Will get through in any event. 6266 04:01:03,234 --> 04:01:05,435 I'm hoping that'll be reasonable 6267 04:01:05,435 --> 04:01:08,306 and realize that there is 6268 04:01:08,306 --> 04:01:10,607 nothing egregious or nefarious 6269 04:01:10,607 --> 04:01:13,610 to trigger this sort of drastic 6270 04:01:13,610 --> 04:01:15,146 change in a bill that was very, 6271 04:01:15,146 --> 04:01:18,382 very benign, and it was simply 6272 04:01:18,382 --> 04:01:19,249 meant to -- to introduce better 6273 04:01:19,249 --> 04:01:21,384 governance to staring those 6274 04:01:21,384 --> 04:01:23,987 seats on there. And the only 6275 04:01:23,987 --> 04:01:25,923 reason there was some discussion 6276 04:01:25,923 --> 04:01:27,624 and a difference of opinion on 6277 04:01:27,624 --> 04:01:29,590 having alternates have access to 6278 04:01:29,590 --> 04:01:31,459 closed session information was 6279 04:01:32,796 --> 04:01:35,796 the general counsel at caloptima 6280 04:01:37,334 --> 04:01:39,690 said that accessing information 6281 04:01:39,690 --> 04:01:41,710 information -- and with wasn't 6282 04:01:41,710 --> 04:01:44,207 just going to be when somebody 6283 04:01:44,207 --> 04:01:46,900 was coming in but information on 6284 04:01:46,900 --> 04:01:47,677 alternates all the time. It 6285 04:01:47,677 --> 04:01:49,113 could breach the privilege that 6286 04:01:49,113 --> 04:01:50,580 we know is protected by closed 6287 04:01:50,580 --> 04:01:54,180 session. So that was the simple 6288 04:01:54,218 --> 04:01:56,190 debate on that. But I think, 6289 04:01:56,190 --> 04:01:57,554 again, we could, you know, 6290 04:01:57,554 --> 04:01:59,560 deliberate and talk about, you 6291 04:01:59,560 --> 04:02:01,125 know, us being quicker on the 6292 04:02:01,125 --> 04:02:02,793 response to the author and 6293 04:02:02,793 --> 04:02:04,394 responding and engaging, and I 6294 04:02:04,394 --> 04:02:05,662 think we certainly can do 6295 04:02:05,662 --> 04:02:07,965 better, that's why we have a 6296 04:02:07,965 --> 04:02:10,965 legislative team. But at this 6297 04:02:11,268 --> 04:02:12,637 point, I think that we need to 6298 04:02:12,637 --> 04:02:15,106 hold fast. I don't want the 6299 04:02:15,106 --> 04:02:17,342 county to be singled out as an 6300 04:02:17,342 --> 04:02:20,342 outlier being the only health 6301 04:02:20,812 --> 04:02:22,180 plan in the state that doesn't 6302 04:02:22,180 --> 04:02:23,715 have county representatives 6303 04:02:23,715 --> 04:02:25,216 serving on there and being 6304 04:02:25,216 --> 04:02:28,216 accountable to the public. That 6305 04:02:28,253 --> 04:02:30,588 to me would be a more 6306 04:02:30,588 --> 04:02:32,988 disappointing conclusion of all 6307 04:02:33,491 --> 04:02:36,427 this because, again, I think 6308 04:02:36,427 --> 04:02:38,290 what was said, it's now the 6309 04:02:38,290 --> 04:02:38,996 second time that the county has 6310 04:02:38,996 --> 04:02:42,670 singled out in all of the 6311 04:02:42,670 --> 04:02:45,503 counties for things that I don't 6312 04:02:45,503 --> 04:02:46,637 believe are warranted. There's 6313 04:02:46,637 --> 04:02:49,370 nothing that warrants this 6314 04:02:55,213 --> 04:02:57,281 change at caloptima for the 6315 04:02:57,281 --> 04:03:00,184 previous departure from where it 6316 04:03:00,184 --> 04:03:00,784 was originally done.

And part of the 8167 05:01:29,908 --> 05:01:32,811 reason why I'm bringing this 8168 05:01:32,811 --> 05:01:35,881 forward is so that we can 8169 05:01:35,881 --> 05:01:38,184 prevent that type of response. 8170 05:01:38,184 --> 05:01:40,285 And a lot of what I've been 8171 05:01:40,285 --> 05:01:41,320 hearing is that people are sort 8172 05:01:41,320 --> 05:01:43,423 of taking the measures into 8173 05:01:43,423 --> 05:01:45,892 their own hands, which we don't 8174 05:01:45,892 --> 05:01:48,600 want them to do, because they 8175 05:01:48,600 --> 05:01:49,595 don't have notice and they just 8176 05:01:49,595 --> 05:01:51,798 suddenly see people out there 8177 05:01:51,798 --> 05:01:53,600 spraying, and they haven't had a 8178 05:01:53,600 --> 05:01:56,636 chance to avoid the area as an 8179 05:01:56,636 --> 05:01:58,704 example. So this board, we 8180 05:01:58,704 --> 05:02:01,104 pride ourselves on transparency 8181 05:02:01,207 --> 05:02:03,544 and disclosure.

And I think 8223 05:03:40,173 --> 05:03:42,609 that the science is changing, 8224 05:03:42,609 --> 05:03:44,678 and it's not okay. And so 8225 05:03:44,678 --> 05:03:45,446 giving people the notice to 8226 05:03:45,446 --> 05:03:46,981 allow them to make decisions 8227 05:03:46,981 --> 05:03:47,948 about their own lives is 8228 05:03:47,948 --> 05:03:49,950 something that I would support, 8229 05:03:49,950 --> 05:03:52,219 and I hope my colleagues do, as 8230 05:03:52,219 --> 05:03:52,586 well. With that, I move the 8231 05:03:52,586 --> 05:03:54,540 item.. 8232 05:03:54,540 --> 05:03:56,890 >>chair, doug chaffee: I think 8233 05:03:56,890 --> 05:03:58,425 we've got a second all right. 8234 05:03:58,425 --> 05:03:59,920 Yeah. We did. Supervisor 8235 05:03:59,920 --> 05:04:00,928 wagner? 8236 05:04:00,928 --> 05:04:03,930 >>don wagner: I'll just start by 8237 05:04:03,930 --> 05:04:05,966 saying it is just, in my mind, 8238 05:04:05,966 --> 05:04:06,500 patent nonsense that these 8239 05:04:06,500 --> 05:04:07,668 guerrilla tactics that our 8240 05:04:07,668 --> 05:04:10,680 employees have suffered through 8241 05:04:10,700 --> 05:04:11,438 is because of a lack of notice. 8242 05:04:11,438 --> 05:04:12,339 No, it's because of the 8243 05:04:12,339 --> 05:04:13,941 spraying. And the spray 8244 05:04:13,941 --> 05:04:15,275 something done pursuant to state 8245 05:04:15,275 --> 05:04:17,578 and federal law. The spray 8246 05:04:17,578 --> 05:04:18,679 something done at levels that 8247 05:04:18,679 --> 05:04:19,480 are below what state and federal 8248 05:04:19,480 --> 05:04:21,314 law permit, and the spray 8249 05:04:21,314 --> 05:04:24,314 something done in places that 8250 05:04:25,152 --> 05:04:26,719 the public is exexplicitly 8251 05:04:26,719 --> 05:04:27,487 excluded from because it is 8252 05:04:27,487 --> 05:04:29,188 dangerous. It is dangerous not 8253 05:04:29,188 --> 05:04:30,724 just because of these chemicals, 8254 05:04:30,724 --> 05:04:33,827 but for lots of other reasons. 8255 05:04:33,827 --> 05:04:35,595 So the idea that notices are 8256 05:04:35,595 --> 05:04:36,429 somehow going to say, all right, 8257 05:04:36,429 --> 05:04:38,232 if you've given me notice, you 8258 05:04:38,232 --> 05:04:39,980 can go ahead and spray all of 8259 05:04:39,980 --> 05:04:42,980 these pesticides, I mean, that 8260 05:04:43,736 --> 05:04:44,338 is just patently false and a 8261 05:04:44,338 --> 05:04:45,873 will. 8262 05:04:45,873 --> 05:04:48,873 Misreading of what has been 8263 05:04:49,109 --> 05:04:50,900 going on out in the creeks. It 8264 05:04:50,900 --> 05:04:51,444 also sounds to me like public 8265 05:04:51,444 --> 05:04:55,644 works is trying to come up with 8266 05:04:55,983 --> 05:04:56,784 a notice that is in addition to 8267 05:04:56,784 --> 05:04:57,817 and supplemental of what is 8268 05:04:57,817 --> 05:04:59,352 required under state and federal 8269 05:04:59,352 --> 05:05:02,210 law. Great. I would encourage 8270 05:05:02,210 --> 05:05:05,993 them to do that. I guess this 8271 05:05:05,993 --> 05:05:08,461 item provides some formalism for 8272 05:05:08,461 --> 05:05:09,897 that effort. So, you know, all 8273 05:05:09,897 --> 05:05:12,198 right. More notice. More 8274 05:05:12,198 --> 05:05:15,198 transparency. Fine. What I do 8275 05:05:15,269 --> 05:05:18,305 worry about is that it gives the 8276 05:05:18,305 --> 05:05:20,730 bad actors out there the 8277 05:05:20,730 --> 05:05:22,900 opportunities to target our 8278 05:05:22,900 --> 05:05:24,345 employees. I'm a little bit 8279 05:05:24,345 --> 05:05:25,779 more robust -- they target our 8280 05:05:25,779 --> 05:05:26,780 employees a little bit more 8281 05:05:26,780 --> 05:05:27,781 robustly, a little bit more 8282 05:05:27,781 --> 05:05:28,916 deliberately because they'll 8283 05:05:28,916 --> 05:05:29,717 have knowledge of where they 8284 05:05:29,717 --> 05:05:31,386 will be and when they will be 8285 05:05:31,386 --> 05:05:32,386 there. But at the end of the 8286 05:05:32,386 --> 05:05:35,256 day, if the public is looking 8287 05:05:35,256 --> 05:05:37,491 for this notice and if our staff 8288 05:05:37,491 --> 05:05:38,993 is going to try to develop 8289 05:05:38,993 --> 05:05:41,429 something in nifnt, we might as 8290 05:05:41,429 --> 05:05:44,165 well do this. It is a solution 8291 05:05:44,165 --> 05:05:46,601 in search of a problem. It is 8292 05:05:46,601 --> 05:05:49,100 potentially increasing danger to 8293 05:05:50,438 --> 05:05:52,807 our workforce, but public works 8294 05:05:52,807 --> 05:05:54,542 is gonna do it. Let's do it and 8295 05:05:54,542 --> 05:05:58,346 see how it works out. We can 8296 05:05:58,346 --> 05:05:59,800 always revisit it later.. 8297 05:05:59,800 --> 05:06:00,448 >>chair, doug chaffee: 8298 05:06:00,448 --> 05:06:01,115 supervisor sarmiento? 8299 05:06:01,115 --> 05:06:02,215 >>vincente sarmiento: thank you, 8300 05:06:02,215 --> 05:06:05,860 MR. Chair. I'll be brief. As 8301 05:06:05,860 --> 05:06:07,321 we look at this again, and I do 8302 05:06:07,321 --> 05:06:09,423 think that the notice that right 8303 05:06:09,423 --> 05:06:11,858 now is -- or that we do, which 8304 05:06:11,858 --> 05:06:12,859 is an annual, is insufficient in 8305 05:06:12,859 --> 05:06:15,169 my opinion. I think, you know, 8306 05:06:15,169 --> 05:06:17,197 we do want to improve on that. 8307 05:06:17,197 --> 05:06:20,234 That is a very low bar. But I 8308 05:06:20,234 --> 05:06:20,835 think if we can work on this 8309 05:06:20,835 --> 05:06:22,670 whole -- you know, I think the 8310 05:06:22,670 --> 05:06:24,272 premise of this makes sense. 8311 05:06:24,272 --> 05:06:25,939 I'm supportive. But I think 8312 05:06:25,939 --> 05:06:29,444 it's a little unclear, and it's 8313 05:06:29,444 --> 05:06:31,278 a little vague when it comes to 8314 05:06:31,278 --> 05:06:32,679 public notice where feasible. I 8315 05:06:32,679 --> 05:06:35,150 don't know what that means. So 8316 05:06:35,150 --> 05:06:37,485 if we can just get some clarity 8317 05:06:37,485 --> 05:06:40,187 on that, you know, as we go 8318 05:06:40,187 --> 05:06:41,923 through this, just so we're, you 8319 05:06:41,923 --> 05:06:44,191 know -- so we have a better 8320 05:06:44,191 --> 05:06:45,158 understanding, it's not quite so 8321 05:06:45,158 --> 05:06:46,626 ambiguous, but certainly is 8322 05:06:46,626 --> 05:06:49,626 something that to me is 8323 05:06:50,497 --> 05:06:51,310 important. So thank you.. 8324 05:06:51,310 --> 05:06:53,431 >>chair, doug chaffee: all 8325 05:06:54,000 --> 05:06:56,300 right. My own comments, I share 8326 05:06:56,300 --> 05:06:58,403 the concerns about employees 8327 05:06:59,540 --> 05:07:01,174 being harassed and ask county 8328 05:07:01,174 --> 05:07:03,978 counsel do we have any 8329 05:07:03,978 --> 05:07:04,778 protective ordinances should our 8330 05:07:04,778 --> 05:07:07,381 employees be larked? If you 8331 05:07:07,381 --> 05:07:10,981 don't know, that's fine we can 8332 05:07:18,759 --> 05:07:20,261 get to that later. 8333 05:07:20,261 --> 05:07:21,729 >>leon page: protective 8334 05:07:21,729 --> 05:07:23,231 ordinances, I'm not aware of 8335 05:07:23,231 --> 05:07:25,300 anything like that. If a crime 8336 05:07:25,300 --> 05:07:27,350 occurred in connection with 8337 05:07:27,350 --> 05:07:28,102 ongoing spraying, the deputy 8338 05:07:28,102 --> 05:07:29,369 sheriffs on site or the 8339 05:07:29,369 --> 05:07:29,804 sheriff's department in general 8340 05:07:29,804 --> 05:07:31,380 would get involved. 8341 05:07:31,380 --> 05:07:33,808 >>chair, doug chaffee: okay. We 8342 05:07:33,808 --> 05:07:36,410 MAY look at that as well. So I 8343 05:07:36,410 --> 05:07:37,746 think the concept is a little 8344 05:07:37,746 --> 05:07:39,247 different than they had no 8345 05:07:39,247 --> 05:07:41,683 notices which are not public 8346 05:07:41,683 --> 05:07:43,318 notices at all really. So I 8347 05:07:43,318 --> 05:07:45,787 think something here is needed. 8348 05:07:45,787 --> 05:07:48,220 But I'm not sure how extensive 8349 05:07:48,220 --> 05:07:52,822 it needs to be. But I will go 8350 05:07:53,828 --> 05:07:55,330 along with this and approve it. 8351 05:07:55,330 --> 05:07:57,131 We'll see if it comes back. 8352 05:07:57,131 --> 05:07:58,650 This is not the -- we have to 8353 05:07:58,650 --> 05:08:01,368 come back and approve it, I 8354 05:08:01,368 --> 05:08:03,370 assume. It's not just the final 8355 05:08:03,370 --> 05:08:04,405 product, but you develop it, in 8356 05:08:04,405 --> 05:08:06,841 order for it to be effective, it 8357 05:08:06,841 --> 05:08:07,474 has to come back. I think 8358 05:08:07,474 --> 05:08:09,760 that's intention along with all 8359 05:08:09,760 --> 05:08:11,713 of the other studies you're 8360 05:08:11,713 --> 05:08:15,416 doing anyway.

Chair, katrina foley: 9320 05:41:18,842 --> 05:41:19,976 that's what I said. There might 9321 05:41:19,976 --> 05:41:21,144 not have been the second but 9322 05:41:21,144 --> 05:41:22,378 definitely made the motion. 9323 05:41:22,378 --> 05:41:24,514 >>chair, doug chaffee: I 9324 05:41:24,514 --> 05:41:25,582 interpreted that as a motion, 9325 05:41:25,582 --> 05:41:28,582 actually, by the vice-chair. In 9326 05:41:29,352 --> 05:41:31,688 any case, that's a dilemma at 9327 05:41:31,688 --> 05:41:35,888 the moment. So when I looked at 9328 05:41:36,960 --> 05:41:37,627 it, I was concerned with demoing 9329 05:41:37,627 --> 05:41:39,863 buildings and then the people 9330 05:41:39,863 --> 05:41:40,464 who work there will not have a 9331 05:41:40,464 --> 05:41:42,464 play-offs employment anymore. 9332 05:41:42,465 --> 05:41:45,201 So I was hoping we would 9333 05:41:45,201 --> 05:41:46,360 consider calling worker 9334 05:41:46,360 --> 05:41:48,338 retention policies similar to 9335 05:41:48,338 --> 05:41:50,730 what we have at our airport when 9336 05:41:50,730 --> 05:41:51,707 some of the demo was going on 9337 05:41:51,707 --> 05:41:53,710 and stuff and it essentially 9338 05:41:53,710 --> 05:41:57,310 gives the workers kind of a 9339 05:41:57,614 --> 05:41:59,949 right to come back. So when the 9340 05:41:59,949 --> 05:42:00,583 project is finished, they have 9341 05:42:00,583 --> 05:42:04,183 the first opportunity to be back 9342 05:42:06,223 --> 05:42:07,758 on the staff. And so at this 9343 05:42:07,758 --> 05:42:09,459 point, neither motion has a 9344 05:42:09,459 --> 05:42:11,795 second. I will not sport 9345 05:42:11,795 --> 05:42:13,596 vice-chair's addition of these 9346 05:42:13,596 --> 05:42:15,899 things so late.

Two years to get those 9495 05:48:35,947 --> 05:48:39,518 built, it's a risk to get done. 9496 05:48:39,518 --> 05:48:41,920 And so one of the hotels sits on 9497 05:48:41,920 --> 05:48:42,755 a podium which is a parking 9498 05:48:42,755 --> 05:48:44,122 structure and then we build the 9499 05:48:44,122 --> 05:48:45,557 building on top of that.

We 9522 05:49:31,137 --> 05:49:32,705 can't get a loan first without 9523 05:49:32,705 --> 05:49:34,940 understanding what the terms of 9524 05:49:34,940 --> 05:49:36,442 the lease are. And so once 9525 05:49:36,442 --> 05:49:40,642 the -- once we know what our 9526 05:49:42,615 --> 05:49:44,650 lease is, then we request close 9527 05:49:44,650 --> 05:49:47,500 our loan. Essentially this 9528 05:49:47,186 --> 05:49:49,388 would be a 60-day delay on a 9529 05:49:49,388 --> 05:49:50,210 schedule that's already very 9530 05:49:50,210 --> 05:49:52,210 tight. 9531 05:49:53,258 --> 05:49:56,610 >>janet nguyen: thank you.

When I 9536 05:50:02,234 --> 05:50:04,636 was here previously this was the 9537 05:50:04,636 --> 05:50:06,720 discussion of this item. It was 9538 05:50:06,720 --> 05:50:07,720 very, very contentious back 9539 05:50:07,720 --> 05:50:10,672 then, as well. It sounds like 9540 05:50:22,187 --> 05:50:23,722 it is still today. And so I do 9541 05:50:23,722 --> 05:50:25,224 appreciate the mayor spending 9542 05:50:25,224 --> 05:50:26,859 all day with us. So if we don't 9543 05:50:26,859 --> 05:50:28,794 have an action today, this will 9544 05:50:28,794 --> 05:50:30,963 then now look at a four-month 9545 05:50:30,963 --> 05:50:31,697 delay versus just a two-month 9546 05:50:31,697 --> 05:50:33,232 delay because of the 60 days, 9547 05:50:33,232 --> 05:50:34,634 having to get their loans, 9548 05:50:34,634 --> 05:50:38,234 having to do the demo and 9549 05:50:40,706 --> 05:50:42,541 et cetera. So I think there is 9550 05:50:42,541 --> 05:50:44,443 that urgency. If we don't care 9551 05:50:44,443 --> 05:50:45,878 for the olympics, then, you 9552 05:50:45,878 --> 05:50:46,378 know, that's something else.

So that's where I 10505 06:24:33,215 --> 06:24:35,183 think we need to have a little 10506 06:24:35,183 --> 06:24:36,785 bit more detail. I think this 10507 06:24:36,785 --> 06:24:37,720 is really encouraging. It's 10508 06:24:37,720 --> 06:24:39,822 down the right path. I think 10509 06:24:39,822 --> 06:24:41,324 that we're going to be 10510 06:24:41,324 --> 06:24:43,759 meeting -- I'm looking at the 10511 06:24:43,759 --> 06:24:45,160 schedule for tomorrow -- at 10512 06:24:45,160 --> 06:24:46,595 11:00 A.M.

But I do 10518 06:24:56,605 --> 06:24:57,673 think that we need a little bit 10519 06:24:57,673 --> 06:24:59,842 more time. It's abrupt. As 10520 06:24:59,842 --> 06:25:01,677 we've said, we've had over 100 10521 06:25:01,677 --> 06:25:03,645 items and then this gets layered 10522 06:25:03,645 --> 06:25:05,280 on top it for us to make a 10523 06:25:05,280 --> 06:25:06,982 quick, often cuff approval of 10524 06:25:06,982 --> 06:25:08,284 this. I certainly don't feel 10525 06:25:08,284 --> 06:25:10,284 comfortable doing that. 10526 06:25:12,121 --> 06:25:13,756 Although, I see -- I'm very 10527 06:25:13,756 --> 06:25:15,291 encouraged by what I see, I just 10528 06:25:15,291 --> 06:25:16,791 want to make sure that we have 10529 06:25:16,791 --> 06:25:19,193 others that can lend their eyes 10530 06:25:19,193 --> 06:25:22,665 to this and provide us with some 10531 06:25:22,665 --> 06:25:24,266 good background. I suggest we 10532 06:25:24,266 --> 06:25:27,266 hold with our recommendation as 10533 06:25:27,603 --> 06:25:29,771 was made earlier, and am very, 10534 06:25:29,771 --> 06:25:30,806 very, again, optimistic of 10535 06:25:30,806 --> 06:25:31,940 meeting with the assemblymember 10536 06:25:31,940 --> 06:25:33,675 and working through some of 10537 06:25:33,675 --> 06:25:35,440 these additional changes that he 10538 06:25:35,440 --> 06:25:36,144 MAY be recommending.

So 10541 06:25:42,417 --> 06:25:43,180 that would be my recommendation 10542 06:25:43,180 --> 06:25:46,180 >>chair, doug chaffee: so we 10543 06:25:46,387 --> 06:25:48,787 would withdraw the previous 10544 06:25:49,491 --> 06:25:50,492 recommendation of opposing, 10545 06:25:50,492 --> 06:25:52,260 instead, simply have a holding 10546 06:25:52,260 --> 06:25:53,595 position where we don't really 10547 06:25:53,595 --> 06:25:55,830 take a position until we've had 10548 06:25:55,830 --> 06:25:56,598 a chance to look at it further; 10549 06:25:56,598 --> 06:25:58,000 is that what you're saying 10550 06:25:58,000 --> 06:25:59,267 >>vincente sarmiento: yeah.

Right now it's more 10554 06:26:05,140 --> 06:26:06,741 maybe not taking a position, 10555 06:26:06,741 --> 06:26:08,877 although, we -- because we don't 10556 06:26:08,877 --> 06:26:09,811 know exactly what some of these 10557 06:26:09,811 --> 06:26:11,811 provisions mean 10558 06:26:12,113 --> 06:26:12,748 >>speaker: okay.

We took an opposed 10563 06:26:20,556 --> 06:26:22,125 position and it now will reflect 10564 06:26:22,125 --> 06:26:25,228 an opposition to what is a 10565 06:26:25,228 --> 06:26:28,665 different bill. And so it MAY 10566 06:26:28,665 --> 06:26:31,665 require a board action to 10567 06:26:31,867 --> 06:26:33,302 rescind the opposition. That's 10568 06:26:33,302 --> 06:26:34,350 the first thing. And whether we 10569 06:26:34,350 --> 06:26:35,870 go all the way and support this 10570 06:26:35,870 --> 06:26:37,874 or the no, I agree, maybe take 10571 06:26:37,874 --> 06:26:38,473 some more time and more 10572 06:26:38,473 --> 06:26:41,244 analysis, and I'd like to hear 10573 06:26:41,244 --> 06:26:42,445 from our ledge team.

I look at that as almost 10701 06:30:47,391 --> 06:30:48,925 allowing executive staff to 10702 06:30:48,925 --> 06:30:51,325 contract without going before 10703 06:30:52,620 --> 06:30:53,597 the board.

I -- you 10705 06:30:56,299 --> 06:30:57,401 know, I think -- and that's 10706 06:30:57,401 --> 06:31:00,270 where I think there's some of 10707 06:31:00,270 --> 06:31:02,670 these nuances -- because, 10708 06:31:02,705 --> 06:31:04,308 remember, the previous bill that 10709 06:31:04,308 --> 06:31:09,108 was done when I was up there had 10710 06:31:09,346 --> 06:31:11,747 some problems, and these nuances 10711 06:31:11,747 --> 06:31:14,747 as interpreted later could cause 10712 06:31:14,885 --> 06:31:18,200 a big problem. And why that 10713 06:31:18,200 --> 06:31:19,689 would be a concern for me if 10714 06:31:19,689 --> 06:31:21,157 executive staff are allowed to 10715 06:31:21,157 --> 06:31:22,659 just do contract without going 10716 06:31:22,659 --> 06:31:24,194 to the board regardless of the 10717 06:31:24,194 --> 06:31:26,262 amount is not what I've been 10718 06:31:26,262 --> 06:31:29,332 supportive on this board at the 10719 06:31:29,332 --> 06:31:31,101 county.

I mean, I'm not asking 10738 06:32:07,437 --> 06:32:09,607 for it right now but I'm saying 10739 06:32:09,607 --> 06:32:13,807 that I think it needs some time 10740 06:32:20,116 --> 06:32:20,984 to vet it through.. 10741 06:32:20,984 --> 06:32:23,153 >>chair, doug chaffee: so I'm 10742 06:32:23,153 --> 06:32:24,687 not sure where we are.

So it's not 10774 06:33:27,786 --> 06:33:29,386 giving direction as it relates 10775 06:33:29,386 --> 06:33:30,854 to the contracting and whether 10776 06:33:30,854 --> 06:33:33,825 or not -- what's the value of 10777 06:33:33,825 --> 06:33:36,590 the contracting. It's just 10778 06:33:36,590 --> 06:33:39,590 suggesting that one of the 10779 06:33:39,697 --> 06:33:41,498 categories of the audit be the 10780 06:33:41,498 --> 06:33:43,498 health authority's governance 10781 06:33:44,202 --> 06:33:46,202 structure policies and 10782 06:33:46,737 --> 06:33:49,137 procedures and ability to 10783 06:33:49,240 --> 06:33:50,675 conduct contracting and 10784 06:33:50,675 --> 06:33:52,675 procurement functions.

It 10786 06:33:54,545 --> 06:33:56,547 doesn't read to me to be 10787 06:33:56,547 --> 06:33:59,547 requiring anything other than an 10788 06:34:00,717 --> 06:34:02,190 audit of those practices.. 10789 06:34:02,190 --> 06:34:04,419 >>chair, doug chaffee: well, 10790 06:34:05,922 --> 06:34:10,722 some of this is odd the way it's 10791 06:34:11,295 --> 06:34:12,396 worded, and it talks about the 10792 06:34:12,396 --> 06:34:14,396 independent conducted interviews 10793 06:34:15,232 --> 06:34:17,367 with caloptima staff by an 10794 06:34:17,367 --> 06:34:19,569 anonymous opportunity to share 10795 06:34:19,569 --> 06:34:21,104 their feedback.

So I 10799 06:34:26,176 --> 06:34:29,776 think this isn't right the way 10800 06:34:37,254 --> 06:34:41,291 it is..
