00:01:55,250 --> 00:02:24,690
Support Services works with over 82,000 families in Riverside and surrounding counties as well as other states. Our role is to establish parentage and ensure that both parents are helping support their children, both through court order financial and medical support. We are committed to providing excellent services to the children and families that we serve. I think this event is important to the community because studies show that consistent, reliable child support plays a vital role in the stability of California families and for children.

2
00:02:24,690 --> 00:02:29,990
Child support is not an advocate for one parent or the other, and our goal is to ensure

3
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:33,130
children receive support to help them live, learn, and grow.

4
00:02:33,870 --> 00:02:38,650
Our fatherhood engagement event was developed to ensure that fathers stay engaged in the process.

5
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:44,510
We want them to understand our child support process, ask questions, and gain the necessary

6
00:02:44,510 --> 00:02:48,690
tools if needed to assist with co-parenting and other available resources.

7
00:02:48,690 --> 00:02:54,430
We hope to change the way fathers see our program, one father at a time, one person at a time.

8
00:02:55,010 --> 00:03:04,030
The biggest problem or challenge we have is ensuring that our county residents are aware of the services we offer and the importance of this program to sustaining families.

9
00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:12,210
At today's events, we have different services available, such as co-parenting workshops, as well as workshops on how to deal with teens.

10
00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:18,190
We also have a variety of county and community resource services here that include women,

11
00:03:18,410 --> 00:03:25,470
infant and children program, IEHP, the Department of Public Social Services, and workforce development.

12
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:31,230
We even have staff mark, a staffing agency here, that is ready to perform on-site job interviews

13
00:03:31,230 --> 00:03:34,450
and other various community fatherhood coalition resources.

14
00:03:35,070 --> 00:03:38,290
We have experienced a tremendous amount of support from the community.

15
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:41,870
I think our community and various sponsors can continue doing what they

16
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:46,110
have been doing, supporting and participating through donations and sharing our

17
00:03:46,110 --> 00:03:50,210
information when we have community events like this. We hope they continue to

18
00:03:50,210 --> 00:03:53,490
spread the word about child support services because that is how we can help

19
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:58,090
those here in Riverside County. When we hold these events, they are designed for

20
00:03:58,090 --> 00:04:01,910
the parents and we are here to help, so take the opportunity to come out and see

21
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:06,570
the case workers, to see our county partners and the family law facilitators that

22
00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:10,890
on site. We want them to learn as much as they can about the Child Support Program.

23
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:16,650
My name is Nicole Lindemperd and I'm the Assistant Director here at Riverside County Child Support

24
00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:21,810
Services. I want to thank each one of you for being a part of our event today. A date with dad.

25
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:10,840
Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Board of Supervisors meetings. We'll sign in with the

26
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:16,580
call to order, you could put that up on our screens.

27
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:27,190
I have four of the five in attendance supervisors.

28
00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:32,810
He would is unable to attend today, and so he will not be joining us.

29
00:06:33,530 --> 00:06:37,110
Pledge of Allegiance, oh excuse me, the invocation this morning will be led by Brent.

30
00:06:37,750 --> 00:06:41,430
He's a volunteer chaplain with the Sheriff's Department's Brent here, Brent's over there.

31
00:06:41,870 --> 00:06:42,350
Come on up.

32
00:06:42,350 --> 00:06:53,050
And then I would ask that our pledge of allegiance this morning be led by former Riverside County Supervisor John Tavilloni, who is in the audience if he would lead us in the pledge afterward.

33
00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:55,890
Thank you. Please rise for the indication.

34
00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:04,400
Would you please bow your heads with me.

35
00:07:05,580 --> 00:07:08,080
Father God, we just want to first and foremost thank you for the stay.

36
00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:13,620
Thank you, Lord, that we're able to be here and to just have this day, Lord.

37
00:07:13,620 --> 00:07:19,840
Lord and Lord I looking over the agenda looks like there's a lot of things going to be brought before the board Lord and

38
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:27,780
I would ask that you would give this board of supervisors the wisdom and discernment they need to make the decisions are going to make Lord.

39
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:34,540
And I'd ask for those that are going to bring their bring those petitions Lord Father God that you would give them clarity.

40
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:43,600
As they bring them Lord but also I'd ask that you would give a lot of them to give their respect to this board that they deserve because

41
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,980
because of the place of authority that they are in,

42
00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:48,160
and also the board would give respect

43
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,920
to the people that are bringing their petitions.

44
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:52,380
And Lord, we just thank you for that.

45
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,080
And again, we thank you for this day

46
00:07:54,580 --> 00:07:55,900
in your son's name, amen.

47
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:56,860
Amen.

48
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,500
Please join us in public store for a great nation plan.

49
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,240
I'd like to do a visit to the flag

50
00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:05,480
of the United States of America

51
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:08,580
and to the republic for which it stands,

52
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,800
one nation under God,

53
00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:21,340
Okay, clear to the board, update.

54
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,660
Good morning.

55
00:08:25,180 --> 00:08:27,140
The update, additions are none.

56
00:08:27,820 --> 00:08:28,620
Deletions none.

57
00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:33,720
Corrections, item 3.5, should be under Section 8.

58
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,860
The Community Facilities Legislative Body Meeting.

59
00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:40,770
So that would become 8.1.

60
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:46,590
Notations continue item 3.44 to August the 27th, 2019.

61
00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:49,890
Item 11.3 is taken off calendar.

62
00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:57,790
Continue public hearing items 19.1 and 19.3 to August the 27th, 2019.

63
00:08:58,870 --> 00:09:01,950
Item 19.2 requires a separate vote.

64
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:07,330
And I'll need to read the ordinance title on items 3.30 and 3.37.

65
00:09:07,330 --> 00:09:13,250
and we have speakers for 322 and 341, thank you.

66
00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:20,160
322 and 341.

67
00:09:21,540 --> 00:09:22,980
Okay, excellent.

68
00:09:28,060 --> 00:09:35,720
Okay, this morning we have a special adjournment in memory of a former County Supervisor Case

69
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,360
in Cereals.

70
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:44,840
Okay, was a third district supervisor and Supervisor Washington is going to take the lead this morning

71
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,900
in recognizing K and some of our guests here this morning as well.

72
00:09:49,020 --> 00:09:49,820
Supervisor Washington.

73
00:09:50,680 --> 00:10:06,660
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I appreciate you allowing me this honor to recognize the service of one of Riverside County's larger than life icons, K-Centers Saros.

74
00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:15,060
Case Center, Sarah's was a remarkable visionary and leader for the County of Riverside.

75
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,180
She was known as a woman of first, the first woman on the Riverside County Planning Commission,

76
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,300
and later on the Board of Supervisors.

77
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,280
But that is just the beginning of her legacy.

78
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:35,680
She was an intelligent and tough, but fair individual who humbly served her community for

79
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:36,720
for 24 years.

80
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:45,780
In the past week, I've seen such an outpouring of love and condolences from those who knew and

81
00:10:45,780 --> 00:10:46,280
loved her.

82
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:53,140
We have some folks here today who would like to pay tribute to Case and Asceros because

83
00:10:53,140 --> 00:10:57,800
they're close relationship with her and they would like to share a little bit about their

84
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,140
experiences with former supervisor Case and Asceros.

85
00:11:01,140 --> 00:11:11,240
If they don't mind, I would like to call them up to address both the board and the audience here.

86
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,160
And I'd like to start with Supervisor John Tevalani.

87
00:11:21,530 --> 00:11:34,550
And my plan, my plan, John, is to also bring up Larry Parrish and Phil Bailey, I haven't seen Phil yet, is Phil here.

88
00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:40,350
And any of the family members that would like to speak, I think that would be appropriate.

89
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:50,090
I thought it would be appropriate, Mr. Chair and Supervisor, and members of the board and Council and

90
00:11:50,090 --> 00:11:56,890
the distinguished county, to bring up my sidekick, Larry Perishu.

91
00:11:57,050 --> 00:12:00,070
We always act as a comedy act when we were working up there.

92
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:07,390
Let me just say this about, okay, I think you said the best word chuck larger than life.

93
00:12:09,330 --> 00:12:19,890
When three of us were brand new supervise, myself, the late Roy Wilson and Tom Mullin sworn

94
00:12:19,890 --> 00:12:29,150
in on July, January 3, 1985, we came here, the only one with a real local government experience

95
00:12:29,150 --> 00:12:38,370
was Roy Wilson, and I was one year on the City Council in Riverside, but virtually no

96
00:12:38,370 --> 00:12:39,730
other government experience.

97
00:12:41,150 --> 00:12:47,370
And I will say that I think to a person, all three of us looked up greatly to Case

98
00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:47,990
Sinceros.

99
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:55,710
As you say, a woman that's larger than life, I like to say today what's missing too much

100
00:12:55,710 --> 00:13:04,030
are we don't have enough gentlemen politicians in case case she was a gentle woman politician and

101
00:13:04,030 --> 00:13:10,650
leader and public servant who who gave her all for this county not just her district but the

102
00:13:10,650 --> 00:13:17,310
entire county she sure as heck taught me a lot um allowed me to come in her office at any point in

103
00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:25,550
time and ask her thoughts on issues uh learn from her but a real gracious lady who loved

104
00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:32,590
what she did and extremely intelligent. She definitely did all her research. You could

105
00:13:32,590 --> 00:13:39,650
tell that she had read the entire agenda when we got to the board meeting and was prepared.

106
00:13:42,210 --> 00:13:46,790
Sparked a lot of questions, excuse me, asked a lot of questions that sparked questions

107
00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:54,990
from the rest of us on the dias. And that's how you learn. And from the day she left, I only

108
00:13:54,990 --> 00:13:57,410
I got the opportunity to work with her for two years, so 1997.

109
00:13:58,690 --> 00:14:02,670
But from the day she left, I cherish the opportunity to work with her and

110
00:14:02,670 --> 00:14:05,610
I just can't say enough about, and her husband,

111
00:14:08,130 --> 00:14:09,010
Blair, thank you.

112
00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:11,410
That's what happens when you get old, you know.

113
00:14:12,630 --> 00:14:13,410
Around for me.

114
00:14:13,830 --> 00:14:14,310
Mm-hm.

115
00:14:15,190 --> 00:14:16,190
He's something for you.

116
00:14:19,770 --> 00:14:23,090
Husband Blair was her partner in crime, always there with her.

117
00:14:23,090 --> 00:14:25,990
And for that, we appreciate that we know how important that is.

118
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:31,250
So thank you for the opportunity to be here today and share about Kay, a wonderful lady, and she would be missed early.

119
00:14:33,430 --> 00:14:34,510
Thank you, Supervisor.

120
00:14:34,950 --> 00:14:35,710
Good morning.

121
00:14:35,910 --> 00:14:37,170
Thank you for inviting me.

122
00:14:40,490 --> 00:14:45,050
Any time I get an opportunity to say something about Kay, Sarah, if I'm going to take it.

123
00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:50,370
She was a member of the Board of Supervisors that hired me in 1992.

124
00:14:50,370 --> 00:14:57,750
too, which always created a soft spot in my heart. She was an outstanding member of that

125
00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:59,630
board and was a...

126
00:15:00,750 --> 00:15:10,070
One of the hardest working, thorough people that have ever held that job. She could not be second

127
00:15:10,070 --> 00:15:15,170
the gas that is you couldn't catch her not knowing what she's talking about. And I don't

128
00:15:15,170 --> 00:15:19,830
mean to imply the others could, if you get it.

129
00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:27,420
But she was a beautiful woman in every sense.

130
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:33,920
And I think she often, often it was said that she was a real model, role model for women.

131
00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:40,000
I think that's true, but I think what can be easily missed is that she was a real role model

132
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:48,300
for men who were not accustomed to seeing women in that capacity in that, in the depth

133
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,840
of that capacity and the size of the opportunity that she's taken.

134
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,920
So I am privileged to have worked with her, have known her, and

135
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:02,340
where there's been a long, difficult time lately and now she's free.

136
00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:06,980
And she will be very much missed.

137
00:16:08,420 --> 00:16:13,500
And that's something that is just a product of her character and

138
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:15,020
her beauty.

139
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,380
So thank you for letting me speak.

140
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,900
Thank you, Mr. Perry, it's a pleasure to have a long time.

141
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:34,640
I don't see Phil Bailey here this morning, but I want to thank those two gentlemen for coming up and sharing their memories in the life and the legacy of case in the Sarah's.

142
00:16:35,380 --> 00:16:41,020
She was a remarkable woman who helped shape and define Rootside County we see today.

143
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:45,300
She would be greatly and sorely missed but never forgotten.

144
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:52,000
and more on a personal note for me as the third district supervisor which was the district

145
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:03,060
she served in, she left some pretty big shoes to try to fill, but she personified a public

146
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:11,800
servant and I will always strive to try to emulate the way she conducted herself as a county

147
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:19,580
supervisor. And we, I would ask that the board, along with other memorials that we adjourned

148
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:23,040
today in the memory of case minister. Thank you, Mr. supervisor.

149
00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:30,140
Thank you, supervisor Washington. Well, let's go ahead and vote on memorial for case

150
00:17:30,140 --> 00:17:32,060
ministerials. Let's do that now.

151
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:43,600
All right, that is approved on a 4-0 vote.

152
00:17:44,980 --> 00:18:03,540
That takes us to our next item, polling items of interest to the board and the public, any item that the board members, staff, or members of the public, any items that are being pulled will not be voted on, so I will take up any items one through 15 to be pulled. Supervisor Spiegel.

153
00:18:03,540 --> 00:18:06,700
3.43, 3.43,

154
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,680
I'll be 0.3.36,

155
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:25,600
the public has pulled 3.22, 3.41, and 11.1.

156
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:33,860
I'd like to pull item 10.1, 10.1. Supervisor Perez.

157
00:18:33,860 --> 00:18:38,940
Yes. Yes, Mr. Chair, members, I'd like to pull item 2.21.

158
00:18:42,170 --> 00:18:42,510
Okay.

159
00:18:43,550 --> 00:18:45,490
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Chair.

160
00:18:48,490 --> 00:18:49,230
3.21.

161
00:18:49,610 --> 00:18:50,350
3.21.

162
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:57,070
3.29 and 3.31.

163
00:19:00,980 --> 00:19:06,560
Okay, and we have a reading of the ordinances on 3.30 and 3.37, I believe.

164
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,020
Just go ahead and read those and then we'll prove them in the motion.

165
00:19:10,020 --> 00:19:23,470
3.30, introduction of ordinance number 784.11, amending Riverside County Ornette's number 784, creating the Riverside County Children and Family's First Commission.

166
00:19:25,670 --> 00:19:41,990
And item 3.37, building and safety, introduction of Ornette's number 457, 0.104, amending ordinance number 457 in its entirety, and adopting the 2016 California Building Standards Code as amended.

167
00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:47,510
updating the sub-standard building abatement process and reducing the building permit fees, thank you.

168
00:19:49,940 --> 00:19:58,760
Okay, so once again, we will be pulling 3.22, 3.41, 11.1 is requested by the public.

169
00:19:59,420 --> 00:20:02,240
Is there any other requests I forgot to ask, Madam Clerk?

170
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:12,480
Okay, 3.36, Supervisor Washington had pulled 10.1, Supervisor Perez, 3.21, 3.29, 3.31.

171
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:23,420
and supervisor Spiegel 3.4, 3, all other items, one through 5, sections, one through 15 will be included in the motion or approval.

172
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:33,200
And, Mr. Chairman, I just want to mention again, asked for 11.1, I'm sorry, I had a 10.1.

173
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,600
I had a 10.1, sorry if I didn't call that.

174
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:38,460
Please vote.

175
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:45,250
Okay, and that passes for zero.

176
00:20:48,410 --> 00:20:52,850
Now it takes us to public comments, any members of the audience, so wish to speak.

177
00:20:53,950 --> 00:20:54,470
Yes, sir.

178
00:20:54,990 --> 00:21:00,110
We have Lisa Rivera, followed by Rosa Beltran, followed by Susan Nash.

179
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,720
Good morning.

180
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:06,660
Good morning.

181
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,060
And we do three minutes, so.

182
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:08,660
Okay.

183
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,940
Good morning, my name is Lisa Rivera.

184
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,100
I live in Temecla, California.

185
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,580
I provide home care for two people, my mom and my daughter.

186
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:26,640
I am also on the bargaining team and been providing home care for 10 years.

187
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:34,440
This is the first time in two years that we see movement.

188
00:21:35,260 --> 00:21:43,500
And appreciate Riverside County for moving forward in good faith for Riverside County home care providers when it comes to healthcare and wages.

189
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:52,080
But under the county's current proposal for the health care it will only cover a small number of home care providers.

190
00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:58,620
We are asking the county to invest the $0.60 to cover more providers.

191
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:05,020
I would also like to add that like my husband, who is a Navy veteran,

192
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:10,920
And IHS providers and recipients are also made of veterans and

193
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,080
that makes a big impact on support for our troops.

194
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:16,960
Thank you for your time.

195
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:17,740
Thank you.

196
00:22:26,450 --> 00:22:28,410
Good morning, my name is Rosavettran.

197
00:22:28,790 --> 00:22:30,210
I care for my mom and my dad.

198
00:22:31,030 --> 00:22:35,190
I am a home care provider and I am part of the bargaining team.

199
00:22:36,110 --> 00:22:39,570
I am glad that we are seeing some movement in bargaining,

200
00:22:39,570 --> 00:22:42,790
which has not happened in over two years.

201
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:46,310
I'm looking forward to a good contract.

202
00:22:46,810 --> 00:22:47,830
Thank you very much.

203
00:22:48,190 --> 00:22:48,930
So are we.

204
00:22:49,270 --> 00:22:49,630
Thank you.

205
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,340
Good morning, my name is Susan Nash.

206
00:23:03,580 --> 00:23:04,420
I live in Idle Wild.

207
00:23:05,540 --> 00:23:07,980
I'm a volunteer at the Idle Wild Nature Center.

208
00:23:08,980 --> 00:23:13,700
I'm here again to talk about the MAST Idle Wild Emergency Vacuation Plan.

209
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:20,220
I've renewed my public records request because after telling me that they would give me

210
00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:27,660
a copy of the Idol Wild Emergency Evacuation Plan, Supervisor Washington at a board meeting,

211
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,620
and Director Bruce Barton on the telephone several times.

212
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:41,460
When I got my written response, it said, there is no document titled in quotes the Idol Wild

213
00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:43,200
Emergency Evacuation Plan.

214
00:23:44,260 --> 00:23:46,280
So I thought the plan didn't exist.

215
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:54,000
last week I got here, I mean I listened to the board meeting and it turns out that the

216
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,720
name of it is the mast. I hadn't got the exact words right. Of course, that's a complete

217
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:07,100
violation of the public records code to play word games like that with a document. I've

218
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:13,540
renewed my request. It shouldn't take you long to do it because I first submitted it two

219
00:24:13,540 --> 00:24:20,560
months ago is very important that we have this plan because there are many things that need to be

220
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:28,800
improved in it. We need to have advanced notice of when there's a fire potential just like we have

221
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:41,540
advanced notice of a flood or a rainstorm or the roads going out so that we can prepare for that. We need

222
00:24:41,540 --> 00:24:50,860
things like sirens and amber alerts, we need online access to what the fire danger is.

223
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:59,500
Right now, when you go on all the fire agencies, all the emergency management departments, everything,

224
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,860
there is nothing.

225
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,160
Sometimes there's an icon but it doesn't go anywhere.

226
00:25:04,780 --> 00:25:10,720
So nobody can get on the internet saying, I'd like to go up to Idlewild today, or should

227
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:17,060
that I leave my children at home by themselves today to find out what the fire danger is.

228
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,340
This is critical, we can't find that out, we can find out anything else.

229
00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:29,820
I believe that visitors should not be invited up to idle wild when there's a fire danger.

230
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:37,940
It seems that we care more about tourist dollars than we do care about the lives of the people who live and work and

231
00:25:37,940 --> 00:25:39,200
and visit Iter Wilde.

232
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,020
Thank you very much.

233
00:25:40,420 --> 00:25:41,140
Thank you.

234
00:25:44,690 --> 00:25:45,810
Okay, very good.

235
00:25:46,790 --> 00:25:49,130
Okay, our next item is Board Member Reports.

236
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:52,710
Colleagues, do you have any items to report on?

237
00:25:53,270 --> 00:25:54,130
Supervisor Speaker?

238
00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:56,670
Is that you?

239
00:25:57,290 --> 00:25:57,770
That was me.

240
00:25:58,530 --> 00:25:59,610
I'll be there in a minute.

241
00:25:59,830 --> 00:26:01,230
Okay, Supervisor Washington.

242
00:26:02,170 --> 00:26:02,850
Thank you.

243
00:26:05,090 --> 00:26:09,570
Mr. Chair and colleagues, I'd like to report on my.

244
00:26:11,050 --> 00:26:21,950
travel to Sacramento last week to take part in the executive committee, which is a smaller subset of the State Association of Counties.

245
00:26:23,070 --> 00:26:38,650
And there are number of items that we discussed, but I wanted to highlight a couple of those items that came up for discussion because they are issues that Riverside County has been discussing and

246
00:26:38,650 --> 00:26:44,810
I'm working on their crucial to the well-being of our county as well as other counties.

247
00:26:46,260 --> 00:27:08,630
The first item that I want to briefly address is AB 1054, which takes additional steps of enforcing safety standards on utilities, and assessing when and how costs arising from utility-caused wildfires can be passed on.

248
00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:09,550
to rate pairs.

249
00:27:10,010 --> 00:27:17,510
I don't think there's anyone in California that is not familiar with what occurred last year in paradise.

250
00:27:18,350 --> 00:27:28,810
And the involvement of PG&E as it relates to fire risk associated with transmission lines and poles.

251
00:27:28,810 --> 00:27:32,930
and that issue has to be addressed.

252
00:27:35,770 --> 00:27:47,470
AB 1054 also provides tools for utilities to manage liabilities including options for debt management and more substantial catastrophic wildfire fun.

253
00:27:48,190 --> 00:27:57,190
The bill accomplishes all of this while protecting the rights of victims balancing the impacts on rate payers and

254
00:27:57,190 --> 00:27:59,090
and holding utilities accountable.

255
00:27:59,890 --> 00:28:09,190
The next item that I would like to discuss is California's Medicaid program,

256
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:15,090
which operates under federal waivers, which allow the state to deviate from federal requirements,

257
00:28:15,550 --> 00:28:20,330
or requirements, so that we can meet the needs of our population.

258
00:28:21,030 --> 00:28:26,250
Two of our Medicaid waivers will be expiring in 2020, and

259
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:32,610
And if that is allowed to occur, that will have a great impact on the ability of counties

260
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:36,530
to provide health services to their constituents and residents.

261
00:28:37,710 --> 00:28:43,170
I will keep going to Sacramento representing the Board of Supervisors and I will continue

262
00:28:43,850 --> 00:28:47,470
to bring those items back home for discussion here.

263
00:28:48,030 --> 00:28:53,750
But I wanted my colleagues to be aware of what was discussed in my previous trip to Sacramento

264
00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:56,030
I will represent in the board with CESA.

265
00:28:56,310 --> 00:28:57,310
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

266
00:28:57,650 --> 00:28:57,990
Thank you.

267
00:28:58,870 --> 00:29:00,470
Anyone else requesting to speak?

268
00:29:02,010 --> 00:29:02,870
Supervisor Spiegel.

269
00:29:04,670 --> 00:29:09,490
I had several different meetings that I've attended this past couple of weeks.

270
00:29:10,170 --> 00:29:11,390
That I wanted to share on real quick.

271
00:29:11,450 --> 00:29:13,090
The first one was the Metro Lake workshop.

272
00:29:13,950 --> 00:29:16,530
Those of you who are familiar with Metro Lake.

273
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:21,250
It is our major public transit system

274
00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:24,910
partnering with some of our best lines, RTA, and some line.

275
00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:30,610
And the Metro Lane workshop was talking about how we can reach out and

276
00:29:30,610 --> 00:29:35,210
encourage people to get out of their cars and take mass transit.

277
00:29:36,130 --> 00:29:38,970
That is something that's a necessity.

278
00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:42,270
But I know that we here in Southern California enjoy our cars.

279
00:29:42,570 --> 00:29:46,850
And it's very hard to give those up even if it's just for a few hours during the day.

280
00:29:47,010 --> 00:29:48,810
But this is what we're working on.

281
00:29:49,910 --> 00:29:56,850
The second one is Skagg, and I mentioned this before with the rena numbers, which are the regional housing needs assessment.

282
00:29:57,530 --> 00:29:59,690
There is going to be some public hearings.

283
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
Anybody is interested in attending those. There are none directly in Riverside County. I did make note that we should have a public hearing location in every county that is part of the Skag. For the next round, but this time, there was none set up. We do have our Skag office that you can certainly do the webcast, and that would be on August 20th from one to three. And the Skag office is at on 10th Street. I certainly give you more information if anybody is interested.

284
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:58,140
There is a regional conference room in the LA SGAG office on Thursday, August 15th, from 6 to 8 p.m., on August 22nd, in Irvine from 1 to 3, and Tuesday, August 27th in San Bernardino at their County Transportation Office from 6 to 8 p.m., and these are the numbers that govern a big portion of our funding, whether we meet our needs, and

285
00:30:58,140 --> 00:31:03,880
And Governor Newsom is making it very clear threats have been made in the past that if

286
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,180
we don't meet our reader numbers, that they would be taken some funding away that

287
00:31:09,180 --> 00:31:12,760
has not happened, but I think this governor is a little more serious.

288
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,560
His threats seem to be have a bigger bite to him.

289
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,240
So this is something that we all as jurisdictions and people working within government, and

290
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,640
developers need to hear this because it is mandated by state law and housing.

291
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:31,080
and so if we want to continue to get some of our funding that it's important.

292
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:38,360
Second, the other piece is very critical that we tend to overlook is the census and I will bring it up every meeting.

293
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:44,160
Our census is critical for funding, so we need to have partnerships throughout the county,

294
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:51,320
making sure that we count every person in our county so that we have the adequate funding to provide services.

295
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,120
Our services are dictated by those numbers, so I do hope that anybody

296
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:02,240
somebody who has an opportunity to participate in whatever level you can that you reach out

297
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,300
and take an active role in the census.

298
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Then I had the opportunity on Friday to run a seminar on women in transportation.

299
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:19,260
It was apropos that we just recognized the long efforts of one of my role models and that

300
00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:25,340
the Supervisor K since scenarios and it's nice to see our young women taking an active

301
00:32:25,340 --> 00:32:32,240
role in transportation, which is kind of still very few women involved in transportation.

302
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:37,760
So it was very enlightening to see some young, prospering women.

303
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:45,340
And then I also thank you, I think, on this agenda, we just appointed me to the Oval, which

304
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:47,740
which is the Santa Ana, one water, one watershed,

305
00:32:48,460 --> 00:32:52,580
and it's the oversight committee for the SOPAO.

306
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,740
So it's really an interesting,

307
00:32:53,860 --> 00:32:55,280
I went to the first meeting last week,

308
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,140
and there is grant funding available.

309
00:32:58,340 --> 00:33:00,640
I think we're missing opportunities as organizations

310
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,760
in the community on some of these grant fundings,

311
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,000
and they're really seeking out

312
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,340
for disadvantaged communities.

313
00:33:07,540 --> 00:33:11,060
So the first round, that was the meeting,

314
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:12,420
they just announced the winners,

315
00:33:12,420 --> 00:33:18,340
and second phase is beginning, so if anybody is interested in more information on that,

316
00:33:18,460 --> 00:33:22,320
I would certainly love to have the opportunity to talk to you about that.

317
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:32,070
And then there is, I want to end with, I received a text message this morning, and it

318
00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:37,410
really kind of embraces what I'm feeling and I'm sure many of you are feeling.

319
00:33:38,190 --> 00:33:40,650
and it's titled, I miss 9-12.

320
00:33:42,690 --> 00:33:48,090
I would never want another 9-11, but I miss the America of 9-12.

321
00:33:49,550 --> 00:33:53,350
Stores ran out of flags to sell because they were being flown everywhere.

322
00:33:54,590 --> 00:33:59,250
People were Americans before they were upper or lower class, Jewish or Christian,

323
00:33:59,810 --> 00:34:08,590
Republican or Democrat. We hug people without caring if they ate it Chick-fil-A or were

324
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:13,230
What are more, was that what united us and what divided us?

325
00:34:14,050 --> 00:34:14,590
Thank you.

326
00:34:15,790 --> 00:34:18,290
Thank you, Supervisor Spiegel, Supervisor Perez.

327
00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:26,990
Thank you for your comments, members, and Supervisor Spiegel, especially appreciate your

328
00:34:26,990 --> 00:34:36,710
point, especially now more than ever, before I get into that discussion regarding hatred and

329
00:34:36,710 --> 00:34:42,070
And racism quite frankly, and what's going on in our society.

330
00:34:42,570 --> 00:34:45,630
Just what touch space just very quickly on the issue of homelessness.

331
00:34:46,950 --> 00:34:51,170
You talked about reading numbers and housing and lack thereof.

332
00:34:51,830 --> 00:34:57,270
And I did receive a phone call while I was away from a supervisor,

333
00:34:57,550 --> 00:35:05,950
really Thomas out of LA County who also the co-chair of the homeless task force for

334
00:35:05,950 --> 00:35:15,570
Governor Newsom, in which we will be discussing strategies moving forward within this next month.

335
00:35:16,290 --> 00:35:22,350
I understand that in August this month, then in the Central Valley they're having discussions

336
00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:30,410
taking place late August and then in September we'll be having discussions here locally. That's my

337
00:35:30,410 --> 00:35:32,150
I hope he'll end an empire.

338
00:35:33,070 --> 00:35:38,050
And obviously, want to make sure that everyone here on this diet is engaged and as well as the public.

339
00:35:39,430 --> 00:35:44,570
And then, eventually, they'll move forward enough to all where I believe to Northern California.

340
00:35:45,730 --> 00:35:53,090
And hopes of a statewide strategy when it comes to the issue of homelessness, I guess if that's the core, but housing,

341
00:35:53,950 --> 00:36:00,910
behavior of health and substance abuse and that's kind of like the triangle if you

342
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:08,170
will of how to tackle the situation. So stay tuned and definitely will be

343
00:36:08,170 --> 00:36:12,230
providing you that information as you are providing that information from CSAC

344
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:17,710
which I appreciate and all the other efforts that are moving forward. Now you know

345
00:36:17,710 --> 00:36:22,070
So some people might ask, you know, why do you emphasize

346
00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:27,170
Supervisor Perez, the bilateral agreements that are taking place with Mexico?

347
00:36:28,650 --> 00:36:34,050
You know, why engage with Wahaka, for example, as we just recently did,

348
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:39,970
or Halisko or any other areas throughout Latin America, which I hope to do moving forward?

349
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:45,190
And, you know, we didn't discuss it, but, you know, we just had,

350
00:36:45,190 --> 00:36:52,270
over the course of the last couple of weeks, mass shootings that impacted specific areas like

351
00:36:52,270 --> 00:36:59,870
Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton, but quite frankly, it impacts all of us directly or indirectly.

352
00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:11,870
And it's painful, this weekend, when I got home from a Hawkeye, as a good Catholic, I try

353
00:37:11,870 --> 00:37:17,230
to practice going to church every Sunday as a bad Catholic, I don't always go.

354
00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:27,330
What I attend, and I just thought it was necessary that this Sunday that I go to Mass and

355
00:37:27,330 --> 00:37:27,690
I did.

356
00:37:29,970 --> 00:37:36,650
And our priests, I happen to go to Mass on this Sunday in San Diego because I happen to

357
00:37:36,650 --> 00:37:38,450
stay out there before I came home.

358
00:37:39,770 --> 00:37:45,590
And what a beautiful sermon he gave when he talked about prayer and he talked about

359
00:37:45,590 --> 00:37:48,970
the need for prayer and that we should pray every day, at least in the morning.

360
00:37:49,450 --> 00:37:53,870
And when we pray in the morning that we should just pray for a good day and to keep it simple.

361
00:37:54,670 --> 00:37:56,250
And at every day we pray for a good day.

362
00:37:57,090 --> 00:38:04,230
And he did talk about the unfortunate situations that took place in Gilroy and Basel and they

363
00:38:04,230 --> 00:38:11,990
and then quite frankly, you know, it's all painful, any type of racism and any type of

364
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:16,850
mass shooting that impacts people, but quite frankly the issue of white nationalism,

365
00:38:16,850 --> 00:38:25,450
supremacy is very real. And we need to accept the fact that it's actually happening once again.

366
00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:30,850
And we need to speak to it. And we need to counter it as much as possible.

367
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:38,750
So, that's hate in my opinion and the fact that violence against anybody is not a good thing.

368
00:38:39,510 --> 00:38:44,950
And so we need to think about security measures here at the county level, I think it's important.

369
00:38:46,670 --> 00:38:55,450
And I know that we're discussing issues of emergencies here for our county, but I do wonder

370
00:38:55,450 --> 00:39:01,870
about do we have enough when it comes to active shooter type of situations or the issue

371
00:39:01,870 --> 00:39:04,250
of mass casualties and how we handle all that?

372
00:39:05,810 --> 00:39:11,930
Now you know what happened in El Paso and Gilroy, Gilroy where there's 60% Latino, mostly

373
00:39:11,930 --> 00:39:17,470
Mexican American and El Paso where you have 80% Latino, mostly Mexican American.

374
00:39:17,470 --> 00:39:30,550
And I think it's sad to know that that's happening, and quite frankly, hate crimes against Latinos has grown by 24 percent since 2017.

375
00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:36,090
Obviously, any type of hate crime against anybody is a bad situation.

376
00:39:37,530 --> 00:39:42,790
But I wanted to bring up these points because of what's actually occurred in Gilroy and

377
00:39:43,510 --> 00:39:52,630
And then Basel, knowing that these individuals, although we don't know specifically what their motivation was,

378
00:39:53,830 --> 00:40:03,390
but when you read their social posts or their manifestos, it suggests that it is hatred against Latinos, and it suggests it is white supremacy.

379
00:40:05,230 --> 00:40:08,230
And this has been an ongoing issue for years.

380
00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:17,730
I think it's important that we must know our past and not refer it not to repeat it, so that perhaps we can improve upon the situations that we have now.

381
00:40:18,490 --> 00:40:28,390
Violence against Mejicanos, unfortunately, has been a non-going issue since Manifest Destiny, since 1836, and with the war in Texas.

382
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:35,950
And then eventually in 1846, 1848, with the takeover of the Southwest, the Mexican-American war.

383
00:40:35,950 --> 00:40:42,570
And that was basically a war on one end to stop slavery and the other end to keep slavery moving forward.

384
00:40:44,070 --> 00:40:50,610
And so I think it's important that we understand that this has been an ongoing struggle.

385
00:40:52,350 --> 00:40:54,510
But we're intelligent people.

386
00:40:56,010 --> 00:41:02,510
We're sophisticated enough to understand that racism still exists, like sexism,

387
00:41:02,510 --> 00:41:09,170
like classism, but we need to fight against that as much as we possibly could through policy.

388
00:41:10,650 --> 00:41:15,450
I mean, that's what our motivation here, I believe, is to do the best thing we possibly

389
00:41:15,450 --> 00:41:20,410
can as policymakers, to improve the quality of life for people.

390
00:41:22,780 --> 00:41:30,160
And so, you know, I don't necessarily agree with everything our president does, especially

391
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:36,300
when our president sometimes says the wrong things like Mexicans are drug dealers and

392
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:45,900
criminals and rapists, build a wall, Mexicans will pay for it. I think that that's very

393
00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:49,040
controversial as I'm saying it right here right now. People might not like what I'm saying.

394
00:41:50,260 --> 00:41:57,740
But I also think that if our president is for Rio and he's finally stating it out loud that

395
00:41:57,740 --> 00:41:59,340
that he does not condone white supremacy.

396
00:42:00,140 --> 00:42:01,060
Did I support that?

397
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,020
Obviously.

398
00:42:03,140 --> 00:42:05,100
And we need to do everything we can

399
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:07,800
to also do that in our own backyards.

400
00:42:12,250 --> 00:42:15,150
So driving it back, why do I visit Wahaka?

401
00:42:16,750 --> 00:42:18,630
Why do I have bilateral agreements

402
00:42:19,550 --> 00:42:23,010
with our neighbors down south?

403
00:42:24,030 --> 00:42:25,670
Because I appreciate diversity,

404
00:42:26,170 --> 00:42:27,570
because we appreciate diversity.

405
00:42:29,150 --> 00:42:34,730
Because we need to better understand our neighbors down south and they better understand us.

406
00:42:35,250 --> 00:42:36,030
Why not?

407
00:42:36,630 --> 00:42:37,610
What's wrong with that?

408
00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:47,830
So I have a few slides that perhaps I can show about our trip to Oaxaca.

409
00:42:48,990 --> 00:42:55,790
Now this is two years in the making and I'm not sure the slides are going to pop up but there we go.

410
00:42:55,790 --> 00:43:00,870
So this is two years in the making and we finally made it work.

411
00:43:02,050 --> 00:43:11,410
And I really want to thank Riverside County EDA and especially Heidi and Carrie for

412
00:43:11,410 --> 00:43:16,050
the good work you did and making sure we move this forward.

413
00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:22,850
We arrived in Oaxaca and we went straight to work and we signed a bilateral agreement

414
00:43:22,850 --> 00:43:28,430
And I was honored to be accompanied by a delegation of over 40 people from Riverside County.

415
00:43:30,450 --> 00:43:34,190
And as you can see there, they totally took care of us.

416
00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:37,070
It was a big deal for Wahaka.

417
00:43:37,410 --> 00:43:38,270
We were all over the press.

418
00:43:40,350 --> 00:43:46,070
And so the signing ceremony was awesome as you can see there and you see in the middle picture.

419
00:43:46,990 --> 00:43:53,130
That's what they call an President when he said, which is basically the mayor of Oaxaca,

420
00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:56,430
Osvaldo Harkeen, and he was very grateful.

421
00:43:57,510 --> 00:44:00,010
And he wants to make sure he comes out to Riverside County.

422
00:44:00,090 --> 00:44:01,250
He wants to visit Tonecula.

423
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:02,830
He told me that specifically.

424
00:44:03,510 --> 00:44:05,110
He wants to come visit Riverside.

425
00:44:05,870 --> 00:44:06,650
He told me that specifically.

426
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:07,970
He wants to go to Coachella Fest.

427
00:44:10,830 --> 00:44:12,450
He told me that specifically as well.

428
00:44:13,150 --> 00:44:14,230
And I said, by all means.

429
00:44:14,230 --> 00:44:19,310
That means, well, it means, and we welcome him after the sighting ceremony.

430
00:44:21,350 --> 00:44:27,810
We also had a roundtable discussion, and we had folks from Wahaka, as well as folks

431
00:44:27,810 --> 00:44:33,950
from Riverside County, speaking on different issues like renewal energy and sustainability.

432
00:44:35,050 --> 00:44:42,750
And jobs in the economy talked about exporting our agricultural goods to Wahaka, and they talked

433
00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:49,070
about exporting their mezcal out this way, which I'm sure Rob and I could have a good

434
00:44:49,070 --> 00:44:50,230
time with that era once in a while.

435
00:44:53,410 --> 00:44:56,910
It was a beautiful conversation though about an hour and a half to two hours.

436
00:45:00,300 --> 00:45:07,840
This slide right here demonstrates the next day where our President, Minister Pala, Wahaka,

437
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:14,240
invited us an entire delegation to a lunch. And it was a lunch complete with grass-hopper

438
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:22,980
tacos, a mole, and what they call bird ice cream, but it was actually very tasty. And it

439
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:32,120
Those are just pictures of different areas in Oaxaca.

440
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Anytime you have a chance to go, by all means, go visit, that's how beautiful it is.

441
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:43,420
There you see one of the largest churches in Mexico, which is known as Santo Domingo,

442
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:53,780
built in the 1500s by actually slaves from the Dominican Republic, as well as slaves from

443
00:45:53,780 --> 00:45:56,620
the Sapotec Mystic origin of Oaxaca.

444
00:46:00,210 --> 00:46:01,670
Now, this was awesome here.

445
00:46:01,830 --> 00:46:05,290
We had a chance to go visit a little area

446
00:46:05,290 --> 00:46:06,490
where they make Aleorillas,

447
00:46:06,650 --> 00:46:09,710
which is wooden figures and they teach the youth

448
00:46:10,410 --> 00:46:14,010
and indigenous people how to make those wood carvings

449
00:46:14,010 --> 00:46:15,210
that you see there to the bottom, right?

450
00:46:15,610 --> 00:46:16,770
That's how they sustain themselves.

451
00:46:17,970 --> 00:46:21,270
That's how they are able to survive on a daily basis.

452
00:46:22,170 --> 00:46:23,510
But what was cool about that trip,

453
00:46:23,510 --> 00:46:25,950
I don't see that photo here, was that we actually met

454
00:46:25,950 --> 00:46:32,110
the grandmother that came on in the movie Coco, if you ever see that movie, she was actually there.

455
00:46:33,290 --> 00:46:38,130
And that was pretty cool to see her. So I took a photo, unfortunately it's not in there,

456
00:46:38,190 --> 00:46:43,470
but I'll show you that photo if you ask. I have it on my phone. This was the parade.

457
00:46:44,110 --> 00:46:50,150
This was the third day. And as you can see there, quite a bit of people from all over.

458
00:46:50,150 --> 00:46:55,490
not only Oaxaca but quite frankly Mexico and as well the United States now

459
00:46:55,490 --> 00:47:02,050
La Galagheza means Mondays on the Hill and La Galagheza takes place actually on

460
00:47:02,050 --> 00:47:07,650
a Monday two Mondays in a row but before that they have a parade and that's

461
00:47:07,650 --> 00:47:13,850
where the parade demonstrates the eight different regions of Oaxaca and the

462
00:47:13,850 --> 00:47:21,010
16 different indigenous groups of Oaxaca, in which they come through and parade and they

463
00:47:21,010 --> 00:47:28,050
do the traditional dance and they wear the traditional clothing and they also have the traditional

464
00:47:28,050 --> 00:47:28,470
music.

465
00:47:31,250 --> 00:47:39,110
And this is the actual event like Alighazza, as you can see there. The one on the bottom left

466
00:47:39,110 --> 00:47:45,990
was actually the first dance and that demonstrates the dance of the

467
00:47:45,990 --> 00:47:55,130
Aztecs before the conquest. The one to the top right is El Dancer de la

468
00:47:55,130 --> 00:48:00,030
Piña, the dance of the pineapple, which is an awesome dance. It's almost like the

469
00:48:00,030 --> 00:48:05,190
showgirls, they come forward all at once, they go back all at once, beautiful

470
00:48:05,190 --> 00:48:05,590
for dance.

471
00:48:09,590 --> 00:48:14,170
And we also had a chance to go see meatla as well. And meatla is only about

472
00:48:14,170 --> 00:48:19,090
an hour and a half away. But there's also beautiful ruins there. And the people of meatla

473
00:48:19,090 --> 00:48:28,390
also welcomed us to their town. And just to appreciate that we were there and asking

474
00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:33,790
us to please come back. And that they like to also have a silent ceremony with the county

475
00:48:33,790 --> 00:48:38,970
every side. And so ladies and gentlemen, I took a little more time and thank you for your

476
00:48:38,970 --> 00:48:42,870
indulgence, but the reason why I did that is because I think it's important that we connect the dots.

477
00:48:44,690 --> 00:48:50,210
And I just want to make sure that as we move forward as a county that we still continue to

478
00:48:50,210 --> 00:48:56,830
appreciate diversity and each other's differences and uniqueness but the same time or similarities,

479
00:48:56,830 --> 00:49:01,890
we are one county. And I appreciate that. Thank you, Mr. Chairmembers.

480
00:49:02,610 --> 00:49:07,310
Thank you, supervisor Perez. Okay, that takes us to the next item. Board Committee reports.

481
00:49:08,510 --> 00:49:14,190
Board members serve on last count, 69 different committees, commissions, and appointments,

482
00:49:15,290 --> 00:49:20,910
including the one that you just were appointed to, you bumped it up to that to 69. Do we have any

483
00:49:20,910 --> 00:49:29,050
any updates today? Not seeing or hearing any? All right. Executive office and budget reports.

484
00:49:30,130 --> 00:49:35,990
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to update the board. I was having a good fortune

485
00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:41,530
of joining Supervisor Spiegel and Supervisor Hewitt almost two weeks ago in meeting with the

486
00:49:41,530 --> 00:49:48,910
CalPERS CEO, Marcy Frost. Her and her executive staff came here to Riverside to listen to our

487
00:49:48,910 --> 00:49:58,310
concerns and also share her vision of where she wants to take CalPERS and help us improve our pension position.

488
00:49:59,110 --> 00:50:04,870
I can say that it was very refreshing to hear her perspective directly.

489
00:50:05,510 --> 00:50:18,270
She reached out to us and asked for our involvement to help her maximize investment returns based upon what her organization will be investing in on our behalf.

490
00:50:18,910 --> 00:50:43,630
and I don't want to speak for the supervisor down at the end there, but I know she has willingly accepted that offer and we will be following up with the CEO and making sure that we are intimately involved to make sure that in fact CalPERS is maximizing their investor returns so that we'll hopefully improve our pension position.

491
00:50:45,790 --> 00:50:52,390
She also shared with us some of the top quality people she's been able to hire and attract

492
00:50:52,390 --> 00:51:00,550
to, again, better manage our investments of the pension system and she really has brought

493
00:51:00,550 --> 00:51:06,510
in a top level team. So I'm very encouraged by the discussion we had. I think it was a good

494
00:51:06,510 --> 00:51:19,210
Good beginning, we hope will become a very fruitful partnership with CalPERS and help us to advance our pension position in the state here so thank you.

495
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:33,800
Okay, now we move on to our sponsored ceremonial presentations and we have Supervisor Perez, I believe,

496
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:39,280
is taking the lead on this particular presentation involving National Health Center week.

497
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:39,840
Sure.

498
00:51:40,300 --> 00:51:40,980
Take it away.

499
00:51:52,660 --> 00:51:53,260
Thank

500
00:51:58,990 --> 00:52:00,330
you, Mr. Chairman and members.

501
00:52:00,970 --> 00:52:07,250
We're pleased to be joined today by Dr. Matt Chang, the behavior health director, Janell

502
00:52:07,250 --> 00:52:13,590
Morris, Executive Director of Amdatory Care, and a number of practitioners from the Riverside

503
00:52:13,590 --> 00:52:14,650
University Health System.

504
00:52:15,970 --> 00:52:21,090
This week is National Health Center week, which is an important opportunity to recognize

505
00:52:21,830 --> 00:52:26,450
community health centers and to thank the staff and medical professionals who work every day

506
00:52:27,090 --> 00:52:30,010
to care for the underserved and our communities.

507
00:52:30,270 --> 00:52:31,090
Come on up, come up please.

508
00:52:38,790 --> 00:52:39,770
Thank you all for being here.

509
00:52:46,740 --> 00:52:47,500
This is what it's all about.

510
00:52:49,380 --> 00:52:49,860
And

511
00:52:54,370 --> 00:52:56,590
I'm proud to be from the community health center movement.

512
00:52:56,950 --> 00:53:00,150
And I used to work in community health centers with quite frankly.

513
00:53:06,370 --> 00:53:13,230
but he's my mentor. He actually took me in years ago. When I just graduated from college, I couldn't find a job and he decided to hire me.

514
00:53:14,070 --> 00:53:26,310
And I learned about community health centers. And I learned about the community health center movement and what it actually meant. And quite frankly, I love the work of community health centers and community health and population health.

515
00:53:26,310 --> 00:53:33,970
And making sure that we're bringing social justice closer to our communities every single day by providing that care, every single day.

516
00:53:34,730 --> 00:53:43,190
Now, the community health centers go back to 1965 and the war on poverty, where LBJA and

517
00:53:43,190 --> 00:53:50,950
quite frankly, community organizers came together and said that we also deserve high quality,

518
00:53:50,950 --> 00:53:55,370
health care, accessible, that's accessible, and affordable in our own communities.

519
00:53:57,130 --> 00:54:01,370
And so in my opinion Riverside County is part of that legacy as well and part of that

520
00:54:01,370 --> 00:54:01,770
history.

521
00:54:02,750 --> 00:54:05,910
But 12 committee health centers that run by RUHS.

522
00:54:07,090 --> 00:54:12,530
Now today we recognize our county's committee health centers which in 2018 served over 50,000

523
00:54:12,530 --> 00:54:19,230
patients and Dr. Chang and Executive Director Morris, I'd like for you to maybe say a few words,

524
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:19,910
Dr. Chang.

525
00:54:19,910 --> 00:54:20,970
Thank you.

526
00:54:20,970 --> 00:54:21,090
More?

527
00:54:21,570 --> 00:54:21,890
Please.

528
00:54:24,190 --> 00:54:28,090
It's an honor to be here this morning to be recognized during this week.

529
00:54:28,550 --> 00:54:32,890
With our 12 community health centers, we pride ourselves on the care that we deliver.

530
00:54:33,370 --> 00:54:39,170
We offer a variety of services, but it goes without saying that without the help of public health,

531
00:54:39,250 --> 00:54:45,370
our executive team, behavioral health, our supervisors, our board members that we couldn't do what

532
00:54:45,370 --> 00:54:45,790
we do.

533
00:54:46,030 --> 00:54:50,250
We serve infants to seniors, veterans to the middle class.

534
00:54:50,250 --> 00:54:58,650
We serve anyone regardless of their ability to pay, and we're here to serve, and what an honor this morning just to stand in front of you.

535
00:54:59,050 --> 00:55:02,670
I'm also happy to report that we're actually expanding our services.

536
00:55:02,670 --> 00:55:06,510
We've actually started to integrate behavioral health into our centers.

537
00:55:06,850 --> 00:55:11,850
And yesterday, Dr. Tanya and I actually had the opportunity to experience how that's working.

538
00:55:11,890 --> 00:55:18,850
We had a mother and her teenage daughter enter the facility and had been referred from the primary care provider

539
00:55:18,850 --> 00:55:23,670
to the behavioral health provider, and they were able to receive services at one site

540
00:55:23,670 --> 00:55:24,670
with one team.

541
00:55:25,490 --> 00:55:33,010
So as we expand our services, I just asked and hope that we continue this journey forward

542
00:55:33,010 --> 00:55:34,970
in excellence and in service.

543
00:55:35,350 --> 00:55:40,010
And I would like to introduce Dr. Matt Cheng to provide some comments.

544
00:55:41,950 --> 00:55:43,130
Thank you, Janelle.

545
00:55:44,010 --> 00:55:47,130
It truly is incredibly exciting time.

546
00:55:47,130 --> 00:56:01,010
And she mentioned some of the care integration efforts and with those efforts underway we now have therapy services, substance abuse services, and psychiatry services at all of our RUHS community health centers through this care integration.

547
00:56:01,090 --> 00:56:08,750
We are doing physical health care to our behavioral health patients who desperately need it as well as behavioral health services throughout the community health centers.

548
00:56:09,110 --> 00:56:15,290
We're also have been able to extend substance abuse services to those patients who previously may now have been able to access them.

549
00:56:15,290 --> 00:56:20,290
The model for our act for ongoing transformation is our UHS Community Health Center in Corona.

550
00:56:20,870 --> 00:56:26,330
Working side by side, we've been able to consolidate four isolated sites into one integrated hub.

551
00:56:26,970 --> 00:56:32,490
We're really moving away from behavioral health sites and physical health sites to simply a seamless health clinic.

552
00:56:32,950 --> 00:56:35,810
These integrate efforts lead to better efficiencies and lower costs.

553
00:56:36,310 --> 00:56:41,050
But most importantly, it's better for the patient as we provide a one stop shop for all of their healthcare needs.

554
00:56:41,590 --> 00:56:41,810
Thank you.

555
00:56:43,310 --> 00:56:44,350
And

556
00:56:48,610 --> 00:56:52,850
closing our community health centers, I made a lot of great progress over the last

557
00:56:52,850 --> 00:56:53,430
two years.

558
00:56:54,050 --> 00:56:57,550
They have made great strides and integrated mental health and substance abuse services

559
00:56:57,550 --> 00:56:59,110
into our community health centers as you heard.

560
00:56:59,790 --> 00:57:04,410
I want to inspire us to continue moving in the direction here in the county of Riverside

561
00:57:04,410 --> 00:57:09,730
of expanding community health centers, hitting quality standards, increasing needed services,

562
00:57:10,010 --> 00:57:14,290
creating partnerships, better served veterans for instance, and having community health centers

563
00:57:14,290 --> 00:57:16,410
there's bills in every community of Riverside County.

564
00:57:17,210 --> 00:57:19,430
Thank you, the dedicated Riverside County staff

565
00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:20,990
and the community health center board members.

566
00:57:21,370 --> 00:57:23,470
Father, great work that you do every single day

567
00:57:23,470 --> 00:57:25,090
in our communities and.

568
00:57:25,090 --> 00:57:28,570
I'd like to present this proclamation to all of you.

569
00:57:32,290 --> 00:57:32,670
Okay?

570
00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:35,010
Take a photo out here.

571
00:57:37,140 --> 00:57:38,200
I don't know how you want to do this.

572
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,220
I don't know what it comes out of there.

573
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:40,640
You got the money?

574
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,160
Thank you very much, all of it.

575
00:58:02,380 --> 00:58:03,660
Yes, thank you.

576
00:58:03,660 --> 00:58:04,940
You're welcome in the back.

577
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:14,820
Okay, very good. Thank you Supervisor Press for the presentation and all the staff.

578
00:59:14,820 --> 00:59:21,860
Now we move on to the items that were pulled for discussion and there are quite a few.

579
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:31,900
So I will start with, we move 3.5 to 8.1 so we'll take that later or unless we already

580
00:59:31,900 --> 00:59:32,480
approve that.

581
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:33,520
I think we already approved that.

582
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:33,900
We're good.

583
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,400
So start with Supervisor Pres on, I have 3.21.

584
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:45,540
Just requesting a brief report on that and just want to congratulate.

585
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:50,860
Is anyone here to speak on the V program?

586
00:59:51,460 --> 00:59:52,460
Thank you.

587
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,600
Good morning, members of the Board. Mr. Johnson is north, Leslie trainer, economic development agency. To begin on behalf of the economic development agency, we'd like to express our appreciation for the women and men of the Armed Forces. And sincerely thank you for your service. Our team at Workforce Development is really pleased and excited to receive this grant award for the Veterans Employment Related Assistance Program, which for the sake of time we've shortened to VEEP.

588
01:00:30,620 --> 01:00:42,220
Riverside County has approximately 126,400 veterans, which is the third largest veteran population in the state and the eighth largest concentration of veterans in the nation.

589
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:51,820
While the unemployment rate in Riverside County as a whole has hovered around 4% recently, the veteran unemployment rate in the county has stayed around 7%.

590
01:00:51,820 --> 01:00:57,440
Seconding that there's a need for attention to this very important segment of the population.

591
01:00:58,220 --> 01:01:03,960
So, through the VIT program, we intend to work with a host of partners to assist veterans

592
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,060
and their spouses.

593
01:01:06,500 --> 01:01:13,560
And those program features include targeted individualized employment plans, case management,

594
01:01:14,540 --> 01:01:20,460
workshops, job search and employment assistance, and follow-up activities to ensure successful

595
01:01:20,460 --> 01:01:20,920
outcomes.

596
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:32,600
So, it's very much our pleasure to assist veterans and their spouses who either live or work within Riverside County through this program, and we're happy to answer any questions you have.

597
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:41,080
I just wanted just to, Mr. Chair and members, just want to thank you for looking out for our veterans and for moving forward with such a program.

598
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:50,320
I know that we have a program here as well through our county in which we're trying to increase the employment of veterans within

599
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:55,920
the county of Riverside and there's been quite a bit more interviews and there has been some employment

600
01:01:56,560 --> 01:02:00,800
but I definitely want to up those numbers. I understand that out of all the

601
01:02:01,500 --> 01:02:06,280
individuals are veterans that are going through interviews I think it's 10% or less they're actually

602
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:12,260
being hired and so obviously this type of program would be very very helpful. This type of service

603
01:02:12,260 --> 01:02:17,800
would be very very helpful so that our veterans we can increase those numbers quite frankly with the

604
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:26,140
the kind of herbicide. So I just wanted to highlight that and thank you so much for the good work you're doing our pleasure. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, I'll entertain a motion in a second that

605
01:02:28,670 --> 01:02:36,410
passes for zero. That takes us to item 3.22. A member of the public. I believe it's pulled 3.22.

606
01:02:37,550 --> 01:02:38,390
You

607
01:02:48,310 --> 01:02:51,690
have Susan Ash and Tom Pollock.

608
01:02:52,210 --> 01:02:52,550
Okay.

609
01:03:01,620 --> 01:03:02,100
Good morning.

610
01:03:04,260 --> 01:03:04,620
Good morning.

611
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,720
We went to sleep sitting there.

612
01:03:07,260 --> 01:03:09,560
My name is Tom Pollock.

613
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:14,160
I'm a resident of Ida Wild Pine Cove community in our local mountains.

614
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:25,200
Sunday evening, I sent the board of supervisors and Mr. Barton, the director of emergency management department.

615
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:40,760
a copy of the July 28, 2019 Arizona Republic news article, which was entitled Where Will the West Next Deadly Wildfire Strike.

616
01:03:42,260 --> 01:03:53,240
I ask each of the supervisors and Mr. Barton to read the article in preparation for this meeting, and I assume they have done so.

617
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:54,720
at least I hope so.

618
01:03:56,860 --> 01:04:04,580
In this article, the news agencies examined approximately 5,000 communities across 11

619
01:04:04,580 --> 01:04:05,960
western states.

620
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:18,420
Of small communities with fewer than 15,000 households, 526 faced a wildfire potential

621
01:04:18,420 --> 01:04:26,740
greater than the Paradise disaster last year in which we suffered 85 fatalities.

622
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:40,900
I asked the Board of Supervisors, each of the Board of Supervisors, and Mr. Barton, to note the wildfire hazard potential for

623
01:04:40,900 --> 01:04:55,600
paradise on a 1 to 5 scale was 3.81. While our idle wild pine cove community has a 4.81

624
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:05,480
wildfire hazard potential. You might ask why is the wildfire hazard potential so high

625
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,420
in the idle wild pine cove area.

626
01:05:09,690 --> 01:05:18,160
It's because these areas have not burned in 100 plus years and have excessive few loads,

627
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:32,940
explosive few loads, just waiting for an ignition in windy conditions which will undoubtedly occur in the months ahead or in the fire seasons to follow.

628
01:05:32,940 --> 01:05:42,900
So, the board might also remember that in December 2017, SCE shut off the electricity

629
01:05:42,900 --> 01:05:50,900
to these communities because of high winds in an effort to avert wildfire risk.

630
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:59,280
The article was very comprehensive but it also recognized that the wildfire hazard potential

631
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:06,480
is only the first step in assessing human risk are

632
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:15,780
greater based on several other factors.

633
01:06:16,460 --> 01:06:22,800
First, evacuation constraints, age, we have a lot of older folks living in the

634
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:26,480
eye-to-eye pineapple community, folks with disabilities.

635
01:06:31,110 --> 01:06:51,730
And the other thing that I thought was particularly important, defects in the alerting system, it's apparent to me that we need subtype of stationary alerting system, so the community may warn of a fast approaching wildfire from the north, from the Pine Cove vicinity.

636
01:06:52,450 --> 01:06:54,350
Tom, you're going to need to wrap it up your time.

637
01:06:54,350 --> 01:07:15,110
I appreciate that a little bit of extra time, I think what we're hoping for is for the board of supervisors to set the bar for the next evacuation of idle wild, which will surely come should be no loss of life.

638
01:07:15,970 --> 01:07:20,550
And we're not doing the necessary preparations to assure no loss of life.

639
01:07:20,550 --> 01:07:24,210
And I appreciate your time and thank you for your consideration.

640
01:07:24,490 --> 01:07:24,930
Thank you.

641
01:07:25,070 --> 01:07:25,610
Isn't

642
01:07:36,300 --> 01:07:36,840
that again?

643
01:07:38,740 --> 01:07:41,920
There are three areas of the evacuation route.

644
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:50,280
We've been asking lots of questions and we haven't gotten answers or we've gotten contradictory answers.

645
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,740
One is the zone evacuation.

646
01:07:53,400 --> 01:08:00,620
We were told we should evacuate in an early manner in zones and I said, well what if?

647
01:08:00,620 --> 01:08:09,460
like an usher going down a crowded theater and going aisle by aisle, so the roads don't get all clogged up.

648
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:20,500
When I asked what if it's a very fast fire, they said, well, you should make that decision by yourself and

649
01:08:20,500 --> 01:08:26,180
not wait for an evacuation order and get out of town as fast as you can, however you can.

650
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,720
And I said, well, won't the roads be clogged up?

651
01:08:30,940 --> 01:08:31,900
No response.

652
01:08:32,260 --> 01:08:33,620
How are they going to deal with that?

653
01:08:33,860 --> 01:08:34,400
We don't know.

654
01:08:35,380 --> 01:08:38,560
It's unclear what roads are going to actually be open.

655
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:42,180
243 is actually still part of the evacuation plan.

656
01:08:43,220 --> 01:08:45,180
Are they going to be able to open that up?

657
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:46,780
Which direction should we go?

658
01:08:48,420 --> 01:08:51,080
They're going to be staging us, I'm told,

659
01:08:51,580 --> 01:08:55,440
along the road for an unknown amount of time

660
01:08:55,440 --> 01:09:02,340
on the sides of the road, on the sides of 243 and the sides of 74 going down to Himmett.

661
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:08,540
It's really unclear what we're supposed to do and how long a wait we're supposed to prepare for.

662
01:09:09,620 --> 01:09:12,300
Shelter in place was mentioned as an option.

663
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:19,140
We were told earlier that even though shelter in place is an option, in some situations,

664
01:09:19,140 --> 01:09:31,360
It was impossible in idle wild, because there are no buildings or open fields where people could actually shelter in place if a wildfire was raging through town.

665
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:39,020
So we need to know, is there a shelter in place if so, where is it so that we can go there?

666
01:09:40,780 --> 01:09:44,140
And the last one is very controversial.

667
01:09:44,140 --> 01:09:49,240
deal, what's going to happen with all these alert systems and

668
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:54,440
communication to the community about what's going on in the fire,

669
01:09:54,940 --> 01:09:59,960
if the electricity is turned off, we know that turning off the

670
01:09:59,960 --> 01:10:03,020
electricity is not going to necessarily prevent a fire.

671
01:10:03,660 --> 01:10:06,280
There still could be a fire with the electricity off,

672
01:10:07,100 --> 01:10:11,340
and how much warning are we going to get so that we can people who

673
01:10:11,340 --> 01:10:17,420
You have respirators or stuff can make plans for it last time, it just went off.

674
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:25,340
And how are you going to communicate with the people if a fire starts especially at night during that electric blackout?

675
01:10:26,500 --> 01:10:35,720
I hope very much that the community and the county and all the fire agencies can get together very, very soon.

676
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,060
Sorry, thank you very much, Susan.

677
01:10:41,580 --> 01:10:42,020
Thank you.

678
01:10:42,020 --> 01:10:50,460
Any other public speakers, no other public speakers on this item, excuse me, thank you.

679
01:10:50,700 --> 01:10:57,820
Okay, do you have a motion to approve 3.22, please cast your votes.

680
01:11:01,730 --> 01:11:03,130
That passes for zero.

681
01:11:03,270 --> 01:11:07,070
That takes us to item 3.29, Supervisor Perez.

682
01:11:08,570 --> 01:11:09,650
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

683
01:11:10,150 --> 01:11:14,670
Members, I just thought this issue was important as well when it comes to our students who are

684
01:11:14,670 --> 01:11:27,130
our foster care, why just give an opportunity for people to speak on it, anyone from probation or DPSS, I can speak to this.

685
01:11:41,730 --> 01:11:50,090
Good morning, Sarah Mack, Department of Public Social Services, Supervisors, Mr. Johnson, Ms. North.

686
01:11:50,710 --> 01:11:57,210
So the item before us today is a agreement that we are requesting the board to approve,

687
01:11:57,210 --> 01:12:06,310
to allow for cost sharing when foster children are placed in either their school of origin.

688
01:12:06,510 --> 01:12:12,250
However, when the courts or other entities place the children in another location, but

689
01:12:12,250 --> 01:12:15,830
want the children to remain in their school of origin to keep that consistency.

690
01:12:16,490 --> 01:12:26,430
It provides a mechanism between probation, DPSS, and schools to be able to transport that child to remain in that school of origin.

691
01:12:27,470 --> 01:12:41,450
Well, thank you. I appreciate the collaboration between all of you. I think this is very, very important, and I'd also appreciate that this is going to be helpful to all our districts, which is great. And so, so, so thank you for that.

692
01:12:43,250 --> 01:12:44,110
Supervisor Spiegel.

693
01:12:44,110 --> 01:12:52,250
So, I just have a couple of words you walked into, I don't even know what, it tells you

694
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:57,350
that we were drinking from a fire hose and Sarah, you certainly have warmed it up.

695
01:12:57,630 --> 01:12:59,390
It's getting cooler for you, I hope.

696
01:13:00,130 --> 01:13:02,590
But I do want to make a comment to you, Mark.

697
01:13:03,250 --> 01:13:10,430
I have been so impressed with your involvement outside the box of what probation, chief probation

698
01:13:10,430 --> 01:13:12,350
officers normally do in other counties.

699
01:13:12,350 --> 01:13:19,990
And I'm finding that out and you're so outside the box and it's very enlightening to see that and the partnerships that you're making throughout.

700
01:13:20,730 --> 01:13:23,470
It's so sad that I'm finally seeing all this and you're leaving.

701
01:13:24,010 --> 01:13:35,950
So I do hope that in your efforts to replace yourself that you can find someone who is definitely thinks outside the box because we are truly benefiting from your efforts and I hope your legacy will continue on.

702
01:13:35,950 --> 01:13:38,750
I think you just changed his mind, I think he's going to stay.

703
01:13:40,450 --> 01:13:44,370
Well, you know, it's always nice to, excuse me, board a Mark Hague Chief Probation Officer.

704
01:13:44,850 --> 01:13:51,070
It's always nice to receive compliments like that, and thank you, Supervisor Speagle, for those kind words, but it has not changed my mind.

705
01:13:53,590 --> 01:13:55,290
I'm going to take a little more than that.

706
01:13:56,110 --> 01:13:59,990
You know, on this particular item, I'd just like to recognize Sarah and her team.

707
01:14:00,090 --> 01:14:04,970
They're the ones who really did the heavy lifting on this agreement and this work.

708
01:14:04,970 --> 01:14:10,750
You can see from the numbers in here that for the probation departments it's a very small number.

709
01:14:11,390 --> 01:14:19,410
One of the big challenges we have with the youth that we place in foster care as many of them end up being place long distances from home.

710
01:14:19,890 --> 01:14:24,910
Just because we lack the services and the resources here locally in our county close to home.

711
01:14:25,490 --> 01:14:30,110
And so it's a challenge that we continue to work on.

712
01:14:30,110 --> 01:14:43,430
And we have had in the continuum of care reform, we've had a significant amount of success in placing our youth with other family members as opposed to in group homes like we've historically done.

713
01:14:44,050 --> 01:14:54,270
And so for this particular item, it'll benefit those kids who are with other family members but not in that school district of origin, so thank you.

714
01:14:54,270 --> 01:14:59,970
And Sarah, that I know, and I didn't want to discount your service at all, because as you know, as you know, I've worked

715
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:29,720
I worked with you on some of those ones that are placed outside the state, and I do appreciate the efforts that you put in because I certainly wouldn't want to have to put to do the job that you're requested to do and everybody in your ear. But thank you for your efforts. Okay. Item 3.29 goes to the past. That passes for zero. Thank you very much. It takes this item to 3.31, supervisor Perez. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Members, just wanted to brief report as well.

716
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:36,460
from RUHS Behavioral Health on this item that I think is also very important to highlight.

717
01:15:46,830 --> 01:15:51,630
Good morning, Mr. Chair, Board of Supervisors, Mr. Johnson, Ms. North,

718
01:15:52,390 --> 01:15:55,850
Matt Chang, Behavioral Health, and thank you for the opportunity here.

719
01:15:56,350 --> 01:16:00,470
The item in front of you involves our MHSA plan.

720
01:16:01,270 --> 01:16:04,630
This is a plan which is developed with stakeholder input.

721
01:16:05,150 --> 01:16:07,750
And the specific piece is the PEI plan.

722
01:16:07,750 --> 01:16:10,010
So this is the prevention and early intervention plan.

723
01:16:10,570 --> 01:16:15,230
This includes services such as mental health outreach, awareness, and

724
01:16:15,230 --> 01:16:20,590
stigma reduction, as well as providing services for underserved cultural populations.

725
01:16:21,150 --> 01:16:24,270
There are a couple of new folks that we're working with today, and

726
01:16:24,270 --> 01:16:26,090
so recognizing the importance of these programs.

727
01:16:26,610 --> 01:16:32,050
We're expanding the promotores program, as well as the strengthening intergenerational

728
01:16:32,050 --> 01:16:34,610
intercultural ties and immigrant families.

729
01:16:34,610 --> 01:16:40,590
So those two specific programs, we're looking to expand, and that's what you have before you today.

730
01:16:41,210 --> 01:16:49,670
We do believe that these PEI types of programs are essential for the mental health and well-being of the community, sir.

731
01:16:49,910 --> 01:16:50,030
Sure.

732
01:16:50,770 --> 01:16:53,770
Well, thank you, Dr. Chang, for your efforts, as well as your team.

733
01:16:54,350 --> 01:16:59,510
I think this is part of the new strategy, the new vision moving forward.

734
01:16:59,510 --> 01:17:29,490
I love the fact that you have strategy sessions with folks in our communities to discuss what's the best way to provide these type of services and our own communities and one way quite frankly is by community input, but the other way as well as by having these targeted services through nonprofits, grassroots organizations like, quite frankly, be starting to comprovisal who's been involved in promotora programs for decades and appreciate their

735
01:17:29,490 --> 01:17:52,130
efforts. And also one is to say thank you for recognizing the fact that we can't do it all as accounting, but we can work with other organizations and which they can be our arm and ensure that they could provide those services that perhaps we can get to, but they can, especially the issue of cultural competence, I think that's critical. And so, thank you for your good work.

736
01:17:55,330 --> 01:18:02,830
Okay, and that item 3.31 passes on a 4-0 vote and takes us to 3.36.

737
01:18:03,750 --> 01:18:17,170
That's the purchase. So the helicopter I've asked that item be pulled, asked for county staff to update us on the cost, the changes, and I'd like to have a discussion on the financing.

738
01:18:17,170 --> 01:18:21,410
Do you have anybody from the executive office or sheriff?

739
01:18:21,630 --> 01:18:29,710
Well, I'm going to ask the sheriff's department to come forward and give us an update on the cost portion of the helicopter.

740
01:18:30,090 --> 01:18:31,490
So I see Will back there.

741
01:18:31,630 --> 01:18:33,170
So come on forward, Will.

742
01:18:38,930 --> 01:18:40,630
Will, that's the wrong way.

743
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,920
I'm on the hot seat.

744
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:07,040
So, good morning, Supervisor, CEO, County Council.

745
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,640
Will Taylor, Director of Administration for the Sheriff's

746
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:11,140
Supportment.

747
01:19:12,140 --> 01:19:16,020
The item before you for the helicopter has to do with,

748
01:19:16,580 --> 01:19:19,580
initially it was a quote of about 11.6 million.

749
01:19:20,440 --> 01:19:25,740
And then the taxes kicked it up to that additional amount.

750
01:19:26,300 --> 01:19:29,600
That was not included in the original quote from Airbus.

751
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:35,040
Yes, and so when we came back with the purchasing agreement, that was the difference.

752
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,200
Okay, so sales tax bumped it up.

753
01:19:41,540 --> 01:19:41,960
Yes, sir.

754
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:43,680
900,000 or so?

755
01:19:43,740 --> 01:19:44,500
Some were in that.

756
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:45,100
Some were in there.

757
01:19:45,940 --> 01:19:47,480
Okay, all right, thank you very much.

758
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:47,760
You can.

759
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:57,000
The discussion I'd like to have with my colleagues, the county has, is now enjoying a slight bump

760
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,700
over projections of the property tax revenues.

761
01:20:01,060 --> 01:20:17,460
We, I'm told, projected a 5% growth in property tax revenues and received a 5.8% growth in property tax revenues, which is an additional $4 million to the County General Fund.

762
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:29,900
My first statement is I was disappointed that I had to learn about this $900,000 cost overrun in a comment to a reporter and not from anybody in county staff.

763
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:39,820
Second, I do have some buyers' remorse over the way we agreed to purchase this originally.

764
01:20:40,260 --> 01:20:42,660
I recognize the majority rule, and I respect that.

765
01:20:43,020 --> 01:20:49,520
There have been a lot of compelling arguments as to why the Sheriff's Department needs this helicopter, and I actually agree with those needs.

766
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:59,880
Executive staff is well aware of my adversity to financing when we have cash and we're setting on over two weeks.

767
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:07,960
200 million in cash, I do not agree with the need to continue to finance when we have

768
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:15,820
the revenues to make the acquisition straight out, save the taxpayers of this county, some

769
01:21:15,820 --> 01:21:22,960
funds, and simply acquire the helicopter with the cash we have, including the surplus.

770
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:27,040
I don't hate to use the word surplus because there's no such thing, but the extra revenue

771
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:30,240
that we have coming in for the property taxes.

772
01:21:30,580 --> 01:21:35,280
So, colleagues, again, I recognize majority rules.

773
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:42,700
I would just ask that you please consider an outright purchase, or perhaps a larger downpayment

774
01:21:42,700 --> 01:21:47,200
of $4 million or $5 million in reduce our financing costs going forward.

775
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:48,660
And that's what I would ask my colleagues.

776
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:54,380
Executive office, if you want to chime in with your opposition, that would be the time.

777
01:21:55,680 --> 01:22:24,360
I will re-characterize it, it's not opposition as much as I'm trying to share information and give what I believe is a recommendation to this board, and obviously we have a difference of opinion, and I recognize supervisor Jeffrey's distaste for financing that being said we were able to secure what I believe is a very cost effective financing mechanism.

778
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:36,120
of 2.39% for a 10-year period, and just to put things in perspective, our county pool rate earns about 2.3% right now.

779
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:47,300
And so from our perspective it's a better money management to finance the purchase of the helicopter.

780
01:22:47,300 --> 01:22:54,100
We also know that we were going to have additional cost increases coming our way.

781
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:57,400
And so again, my recommendation is to protect our cash.

782
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:02,700
Give us the flexibility to be able to respond to those cost increases.

783
01:23:03,340 --> 01:23:10,400
Specifically, we know we're going to have additional costs associated with the labor contracts in the middle of negotiating right now.

784
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:17,180
And so that's why the recommendation remains from our office to finance the purchase of the helicopter.

785
01:23:18,980 --> 01:23:19,660
Are you good?

786
01:23:20,580 --> 01:23:22,520
Okay, what's the wishes of my colleagues?

787
01:23:27,090 --> 01:23:28,210
You're there, go ahead.

788
01:23:28,210 --> 01:23:28,430
Just talk.

789
01:23:29,330 --> 01:23:30,350
So I just talk.

790
01:23:30,850 --> 01:23:31,730
Just talk.

791
01:23:33,170 --> 01:23:34,590
We're all friends up here.

792
01:23:34,810 --> 01:23:35,050
Yeah.

793
01:23:37,830 --> 01:23:40,550
I think the last vote was 5-0.

794
01:23:40,990 --> 01:23:41,710
It was.

795
01:23:41,710 --> 01:23:53,990
Okay. And County Council, on this vote, passage would be achieved with the simple majority, is that correct?

796
01:23:54,190 --> 01:23:54,530
That's right.

797
01:23:54,870 --> 01:23:54,950
Yes.

798
01:23:55,230 --> 01:23:55,550
Okay.

799
01:23:58,810 --> 01:24:11,690
I couldn't help but think how, on occasions, my wife will say to me, I can get this credit card that offers zero.

800
01:24:11,690 --> 01:24:21,990
percent for 18 months and if we use that for the purchase and pay it off in the 18

801
01:24:21,990 --> 01:24:32,010
months there's no cost, finance cost. Even though we have the cash to pay for it and I've

802
01:24:32,010 --> 01:24:40,350
never had a good argument against what she proposes to do. I see this as kind of similar

803
01:24:40,350 --> 01:24:50,990
in that our executive officer is advising us that because we're able to get a very significantly

804
01:24:50,990 --> 01:25:02,790
low finance rate that having the cash on hand to continue to serve as maybe a backstop

805
01:25:02,790 --> 01:25:09,850
for some unforeseen costs, that that would be a better approach in my mind than to just

806
01:25:09,850 --> 01:25:15,390
spending all the cash now, but I didn't know that the chairman would introduce the idea

807
01:25:15,390 --> 01:25:19,110
or concept of maybe making a larger down payment.

808
01:25:19,990 --> 01:25:26,270
And I don't know that our executive officer has had the opportunity to evaluate it from

809
01:25:26,270 --> 01:25:26,910
that perspective.

810
01:25:27,150 --> 01:25:33,850
So I'm certainly open to discussion, but I still think it makes sense just as we vote at

811
01:25:33,850 --> 01:25:42,270
last time. And I am a little disappointed that I put my name on it because I was asked

812
01:25:42,270 --> 01:25:47,950
to do that to expedite the process and seems like now we've lost that time that we would

813
01:25:47,950 --> 01:25:56,910
have gained from expediting the process because we didn't take into account sales tax.

814
01:25:59,570 --> 01:26:06,450
And I know when I go to buy a new car, I always ask what drive off the lot price is going to be.

815
01:26:07,130 --> 01:26:15,090
I don't want to negotiate on a price and then find out they're going to add another $2,000,000 to get the car off the lot.

816
01:26:16,610 --> 01:26:20,090
So I'm a little disappointed with that and I don't mind saying that.

817
01:26:20,090 --> 01:26:34,070
But I'm still supportive of the purchase, and I'm supportive of the need for this particular helicopter because I think it serves the Sheriff's Department and the county's needs.

818
01:26:34,730 --> 01:26:42,870
And so I will continue to support the same approach that I did the last time on June 25th when this was on our agenda.

819
01:26:44,470 --> 01:26:45,770
Thank you, Supervisor Washington.

820
01:26:46,070 --> 01:26:53,070
I agree the reasons for the purchase are compelling, which has led to a 5-0 vote initially.

821
01:26:54,370 --> 01:27:01,890
I just see when we have an extra, again, extra, four million in an unanticipated revenue coming in.

822
01:27:02,430 --> 01:27:10,410
Sheriff's Department having between six and 11 million left over at the end of their budget and

823
01:27:10,410 --> 01:27:15,870
the ability to actually not carry debt to future budget years when we know the budget is going

824
01:27:15,870 --> 01:27:22,590
to get worse, just for my sense, it makes sense. So, my point, Supervisor Perez.

825
01:27:23,390 --> 01:27:29,690
Thank you, Mr. Chair and members. The points are well taken. It's where we're stuck between

826
01:27:29,690 --> 01:27:35,310
the Rock and the Hard Place. I think over the other day we know it's needed. And obviously,

827
01:27:35,310 --> 01:27:48,850
We just heard from folks from Ottawa about their concerns and obviously other areas in which we need to make sure that we have all the resources necessary, all the tools necessary for us to a good job. So that's not the issue here.

828
01:27:50,390 --> 01:28:04,930
And I can appreciate your point, Mr. Chairman, regarding rather than having a price tag into the future where taxpayer dollars will go towards the financing of this helicopter.

829
01:28:04,930 --> 01:28:09,050
I am concerned, though, with the point that we do need, maybe perhaps,

830
01:28:09,170 --> 01:28:11,850
those extra dollars that we may have for labor negotiations.

831
01:28:13,650 --> 01:28:19,990
And so, I would prefer that we do everything possible to move this forward even

832
01:28:19,990 --> 01:28:24,870
that means that we need to finance that extra million dollars, whatever that may be,

833
01:28:24,930 --> 01:28:28,850
so that we could continue to work and negotiate with our labor contracts.

834
01:28:29,750 --> 01:28:31,250
So, that's where I would end that.

835
01:28:31,330 --> 01:28:32,470
Thank you.

836
01:28:32,470 --> 01:28:37,950
Executive Officer George, could you, the 12.5 that includes the interest charges?

837
01:28:38,910 --> 01:28:45,090
No, the 12.5 is the purchase price plus the sales tax, I think that's what Will said.

838
01:28:45,830 --> 01:28:52,850
And then the financing of 10 years would add a million half dollars roughly.

839
01:28:53,150 --> 01:28:55,150
So it would take the total cost of $14 million.

840
01:28:55,950 --> 01:29:00,430
So roughly 1.4 million a year for 10 years.

841
01:29:01,670 --> 01:29:05,910
Okay, so it would be a $14 million purchase, not a $12.5, okay.

842
01:29:06,570 --> 01:29:09,530
Financial cost, that's a cost, yeah, that's a bad idea, yeah.

843
01:29:09,930 --> 01:29:16,730
But I mean, for Riverside County taxpayers, it's a $14 million purchase, not $12.5, as on the agenda.

844
01:29:17,650 --> 01:29:19,590
So, all right, I'll entertain a motion.

845
01:29:19,770 --> 01:29:21,670
Oh, sorry, it's a pleasure to speak, my apologies.

846
01:29:22,170 --> 01:29:26,990
I think that it's a surprise for Washington to identify some of my comments, but I do want to see,

847
01:29:27,590 --> 01:29:36,190
It's a compromise of possibly using the sales tax as the additional down payment so that we go back to the amount that we voted on.

848
01:29:36,610 --> 01:29:45,470
The last meeting that excluded the sales tax so we could pay a little bit larger amount on the down payment to cover the sales back which is what a million, whatever it is.

849
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:48,360
Do you understand what I'm saying?

850
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,140
Sales tax is 900,000.

851
01:29:50,260 --> 01:29:55,620
Okay, so we pay that plus the original down payment so that we don't finance the sales tax.

852
01:29:55,620 --> 01:29:59,020
we just make that payment as we voted on last meeting.

853
01:30:00,750 --> 01:30:01,250
Is

854
01:30:03,910 --> 01:30:11,290
that a question, or are you? That's my motion. How's that? Okay, you're making a motion, so please restate the motion.

855
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:35,340
So they don't know the exact numbers. Please bear with me or George help me. 900,000? Yeah, the sales tax is 900,000. And we all is nodding to said, yes. So he's confirmed that is the right amount. So that we continue as last meeting we voted, but the additional 900,000 that we didn't include in our last motion be as additional

856
01:30:35,340 --> 01:30:39,180
in the down payment so the financing is continuous, we already had voted on.

857
01:30:42,630 --> 01:30:42,850
Okay.

858
01:30:43,950 --> 01:30:44,350
Clear?

859
01:30:45,090 --> 01:30:46,170
There is my-

860
01:30:46,170 --> 01:30:47,270
Thank you, thank you.

861
01:30:48,270 --> 01:30:54,250
Our down payment is going to be whatever we originally were going to have with an additional 900,000 to cover the sales tax.

862
01:30:54,450 --> 01:30:55,810
So we're not financing the sales tax.

863
01:30:56,010 --> 01:30:58,030
Were we making a down payment last time?

864
01:30:58,410 --> 01:30:59,950
There's always-

865
01:30:59,950 --> 01:31:02,090
Right, there's always, yeah, a little bit more when you down payment.

866
01:31:02,090 --> 01:31:03,110
Okay,

867
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:15,340
so we have a motion for whatever the initial agreed upon down payment was, plus 900,000.

868
01:31:15,780 --> 01:31:17,060
And do we have a second?

869
01:31:19,620 --> 01:31:20,480
It has a second.

870
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:22,720
Okay, please cast your votes.

871
01:31:28,730 --> 01:31:30,450
Okay, that passes 3-1.

872
01:31:31,390 --> 01:31:35,590
All right, hopefully we won't be back for another price increase.

873
01:31:37,950 --> 01:31:38,590
Okay.

874
01:31:38,590 --> 01:31:49,540
Okay, now it takes us to item 3.41, which I don't know if we have a public speaker on that.

875
01:31:49,820 --> 01:31:50,500
I believe we do.

876
01:31:51,020 --> 01:31:51,080
Yeah.

877
01:31:56,540 --> 01:32:01,590
Adam Brutot will be followed by Jim Leidle.

878
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:04,320
Good morning.

879
01:32:04,780 --> 01:32:09,720
Good morning, Mr. Chair, members of the board, Ms. North and Mr. Johnson.

880
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:11,280
My name is Adam Brutico.

881
01:32:12,220 --> 01:32:15,060
On behalf of Watermark Holmes, I'd like to request a two-week

882
01:32:15,060 --> 01:32:22,440
continuance to allow Watermark to study the proposed agreements, which were just released on Friday.

883
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,260
Okay, requesting a two week continuance.

884
01:32:32,980 --> 01:32:41,540
Our other speaker, Jim Leidle, he's been given time by Joe Bloom and Bob Love for a total of nine minutes.

885
01:32:44,570 --> 01:32:50,190
Don't worry supervisors, I promise I won't take nine minutes, but they're both in the audience and in favor.

886
01:32:50,190 --> 01:33:16,750
Good morning, Supervisors. Mr. Johnson, County Council. On behalf of the 3.41, as well as 11.1, because they're both tied together, if you have any questions for us, which we are the 3, 4, 6, 7, 7, 7, and the other tracks who wish this to go forward, I did not intend to speak upon this item because it was a consent item.

887
01:33:16,750 --> 01:33:22,510
This project has been going on for over three years in the final mapping stage.

888
01:33:22,810 --> 01:33:26,450
The tentative mapping stage has been going on since 2002.

889
01:33:27,510 --> 01:33:31,430
County Riverside County Flight Control, County Transportation.

890
01:33:32,090 --> 01:33:40,830
They've done a magnificent job working with us over the years to make sure that everything is done for

891
01:33:40,830 --> 01:33:48,430
the health and safety of the future residents, as well as all of the individuals including

892
01:33:48,430 --> 01:33:49,750
Watermark homes.

893
01:33:50,390 --> 01:33:57,230
If Stuart McKibben was here, I would have him speak about this as for a couple of years,

894
01:33:57,690 --> 01:34:01,030
which worked to get Watermark to the table.

895
01:34:01,690 --> 01:34:08,950
All of these items for the lion sea storm drain, all of the co-op agreements, all of the flood

896
01:34:08,950 --> 01:34:17,590
control plans have been worked on for years to say that they don't know what these agreements are,

897
01:34:18,050 --> 01:34:27,390
is really preposterous. Not to mention that the 34677 tract is not only taking what we call

898
01:34:27,390 --> 01:34:35,450
reach one, reach two, and reach three. That's the entire length and putting it all upon our property

899
01:34:35,450 --> 01:34:52,290
and doing a lean in lieu in order to get this cooperator agreement approved so that we can then move on to record our final map, which we have been working on with county transportation, county survey, county flood control for over three years.

900
01:34:52,810 --> 01:35:00,610
When we talk about affordable housing, when we talk about getting housing to the public, time is what is taking us so long.

901
01:35:00,610 --> 01:35:06,630
And this kind of housing is in the small lot detached, $300,000 housing.

902
01:35:07,150 --> 01:35:12,070
And you can imagine the money that it's taken to go through this process for over three years.

903
01:35:12,270 --> 01:35:18,570
And the burden just in these flood control improvements that's put upon this property.

904
01:35:19,190 --> 01:35:27,150
Where the watermark has an issue with is their frontage due to an agreement with the previous

905
01:35:27,150 --> 01:35:30,790
is developer Griff and Holmes that used to own the watermark property.

906
01:35:31,210 --> 01:35:37,770
They wanted us, Mr. Levin, myself, to bear the burden of over $700,000 of improvements

907
01:35:37,770 --> 01:35:38,750
along their frontage.

908
01:35:39,090 --> 01:35:47,050
And we find that to be of no nexus, no benefit, they're concerned about their conditions

909
01:35:47,050 --> 01:35:47,690
of approval.

910
01:35:48,250 --> 01:35:53,570
Their conditions of approval do not change with the flood control cooperative agreement.

911
01:35:54,510 --> 01:36:10,410
Again, I would just like to say thank you to the supervisors, thank you to county transportation staff, thank you to county survey, and thank you to county flood control who has worked on this with us and vetted this project for years.

912
01:36:11,250 --> 01:36:21,850
I pray now that you would approve these items as is recommended by staff, and I thank you for your time, and I'm here to answer any question should you have them.

913
01:36:21,850 --> 01:36:27,810
Any questions I'd like to for some of the staff to come up

914
01:36:29,750 --> 01:36:30,290
Okay,

915
01:36:42,870 --> 01:36:44,890
I guess my main question is

916
01:36:46,430 --> 01:36:50,370
You know, you have somebody asking for an extension of two weeks to continue it

917
01:36:50,950 --> 01:36:56,810
What would that two weeks benefit it sounds like the other party saying it's going to actually hurt them

918
01:36:56,810 --> 01:37:04,970
Is there something in this agreement that changed in the conversation or I don't know if you've got it inside on this

919
01:37:04,970 --> 01:37:15,250
Yes, I do. Good morning, Chair, members of the board, Mr. Johnson, Mrs. North, Jason Eule, General Manager, Chief Engineer of the Riverside County Float Control and Water Conservation District.

920
01:37:16,030 --> 01:37:32,970
The item that's before you today, and I want to make a point that this should be item 3.41 and 111, their companion items related, so we should take them both together, is for the approval of three cooperative agreements related to track 36417 and track 34677.

921
01:37:32,970 --> 01:37:42,010
And those cooperative agreements basically provide the developer guidance on how they can implement and achieve compliance with their conditions of approval for storm drain infrastructure.

922
01:37:43,250 --> 01:37:51,950
And so in this particular case, these two tracks are actually conditioned both to build what we call Winchester Hills line C.

923
01:37:52,230 --> 01:37:58,630
So they need a regional backbone for an adequate outlet, for either of them to develop that storm drain has to be in place.

924
01:37:58,630 --> 01:38:05,690
The Watermark Track 30989 is also required to build that facility for an adequate outlet.

925
01:38:06,170 --> 01:38:14,390
Now, the point I would make today is that these agreements are specific to the conditions of approval for each of those tracks.

926
01:38:15,190 --> 01:38:20,490
And so all this agreement does, as it says, for you to comply with your conditions of approval, you need to do A, B, and C.

927
01:38:21,470 --> 01:38:28,610
It does not require the developers to coordinate in any way, but it also does not prohibit that.

928
01:38:29,290 --> 01:38:36,230
And so from staff's perspective, we see this agreement is being specific to the track and

929
01:38:36,230 --> 01:38:38,670
not having a relationship to the other tracks.

930
01:38:38,970 --> 01:38:45,170
The developers can choose to go forward on their own if they wish or work together on a cooperative arrangement to share funding.

931
01:38:45,870 --> 01:38:51,950
And so the staff position would be to move this forward because each of these agreements are specific to the individual tracks.

932
01:38:52,510 --> 01:38:57,230
And we will continue to work with the Watermark development on their agreement 30989.

933
01:38:57,230 --> 01:39:03,030
So thank you Jason, Supervisor Washington's in your district, what do you want to do?

934
01:39:06,010 --> 01:39:19,790
I spoke previously to Jason so I could have a better understanding of this item 3.41 and 11.1 and I'm going to go ahead and make the motion to adopt staff's recommendation.

935
01:39:19,790 --> 01:39:21,030
Okay.

936
01:39:24,400 --> 01:39:25,400
I'll second that.

937
01:39:29,700 --> 01:39:34,880
And that passes 4-0, and that includes 11.1 as well.

938
01:39:35,640 --> 01:39:43,940
That's correct, yes. Okay. That takes us to 3.43, which is T.L.A.'s proposal, good

939
01:39:43,940 --> 01:39:48,560
neighbor policy for logistics and warehouse uses, uses 1

940
01:39:52,340 --> 01:39:55,200
per ass. And just to note that

941
01:39:55,200 --> 01:40:07,580
But Supervisor Hewitt has asked that this item be continued for final action at the next regular meeting so that he may participate in further discussions, but we need to have a discussion today.

942
01:40:08,060 --> 01:40:08,080
So.

943
01:40:08,300 --> 01:40:11,240
Great. Thank you. Good morning, Mr. Chairman, members of the board.

944
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,960
I'm Perez with the Transportation Management Agency.

945
01:40:14,220 --> 01:40:17,860
I do have a brief presentation to put up here in just a minute.

946
01:40:17,860 --> 01:40:23,600
So, by way of background as the board is aware, Riverside County has seen a tremendous

947
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:27,680
amount of growth in the logistics sector over the last 10 years or so.

948
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:35,100
For a lot of different reasons, shift in to e-commerce if you will, our location or

949
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:40,880
strategic location along corridors between the ports and the rest of the country.

950
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:47,500
And certainly, the logistics industry has contributed to job growth in our county, has been one

951
01:40:47,500 --> 01:40:53,620
the growing sectors. At the same time, we recognize a staff and I think the board has as well

952
01:40:53,620 --> 01:41:01,800
on past projects that logistics, especially the large scale logistics uses can pose some unique

953
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:07,880
challenges to neighbors, especially in close proximity to residential. So what we are proposing

954
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:13,320
before you, I'm happy to introduce it and we can have more discussion at the board next week as well,

955
01:41:13,320 --> 01:41:18,240
is a policy that would essentially formalize

956
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:20,420
and institutionalize, if you will,

957
01:41:20,900 --> 01:41:22,900
many of the best management practices

958
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,200
that in some cases we have been applying

959
01:41:25,200 --> 01:41:27,880
on a case-by-case basis to individual projects.

960
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:31,800
And the whole goal is to really design

961
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:33,760
and operate these facilities in a way

962
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,180
that there can be less than their impacts

963
01:41:36,180 --> 01:41:38,260
on surround the communities and the environment.

964
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,840
So what the policy seeks to do is to establish

965
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:46,540
best management practices, and particularly focusing on sensitive receptors,

966
01:41:46,540 --> 01:41:50,280
so those would be residential schools, parks, those type of uses.

967
01:41:51,020 --> 01:41:55,680
It is not just a standalone policy, but it does work in conjunction with our

968
01:41:55,680 --> 01:42:01,020
land use ordinance ordinance 348 and secret review of projects that continues to

969
01:42:01,020 --> 01:42:06,280
happen in addition to, as they do with any development project, to see what is

970
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:09,040
needed as far as improvements in mitigation.

971
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:15,040
But it does provide development and operational criteria that can supplement the mitigation

972
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,040
measures that come out of this equal process.

973
01:42:18,460 --> 01:42:23,780
General applicability, what we are recommending is that would apply to logistics and warehouse

974
01:42:24,340 --> 01:42:28,060
projects over 250,000 square foot in size for any wind building.

975
01:42:28,740 --> 01:42:32,860
I should point out that this is meant to be general guidance and as we know, each development

976
01:42:32,860 --> 01:42:38,300
is different and each development is cited on a specific site that has its own unique issues

977
01:42:38,300 --> 01:42:56,120
and challenges, so this is meant to be a guideline that the Planning Commission or the board, whoever the authority is ultimately, can look at and make a determination based on the site-specific conditions if it would be appropriate to deviate on any one specific project and why.

978
01:42:58,250 --> 01:43:06,370
So some of the things included in the policy, I won't go into item by item, but I'm certainly happy to answer any questions but just highlighting a few of them.

979
01:43:06,370 --> 01:43:13,930
As I mentioned, it does focus on the sensitive receptors, schools, primarily residential that

980
01:43:13,930 --> 01:43:15,030
may be in close proximity.

981
01:43:16,030 --> 01:43:17,950
You see the other sensitive uses there.

982
01:43:18,710 --> 01:43:23,770
It does call for and some of these things that are already part of our SQL analysis that

983
01:43:23,770 --> 01:43:29,970
we do appropriate or quality studies, health risk assessments, there within a certain distance,

984
01:43:30,550 --> 01:43:36,170
noise impact analysis, construction traffic control so that we can help route trucks during

985
01:43:36,170 --> 01:43:39,310
in construction when the grading activity is happening

986
01:43:39,820 --> 01:43:42,690
in a way that lessens impacts to the neighbors around them.

987
01:43:43,870 --> 01:43:45,810
During the construction phase itself,

988
01:43:45,990 --> 01:43:50,010
it does call for, that we use the latest available technology

989
01:43:50,010 --> 01:43:52,550
that CARB is available currently, 2010 engines

990
01:43:53,440 --> 01:43:55,610
to minimize their quality emissions.

991
01:43:56,250 --> 01:44:01,490
It calls for a limit on the amount of grading

992
01:44:01,490 --> 01:44:02,970
that can be done any one day,

993
01:44:02,970 --> 01:44:09,750
Again, to limit dust from the site, truck idling restrictions as well, so that the trucks

994
01:44:09,750 --> 01:44:14,070
are not idling when they're not being used and issuing emissions.

995
01:44:15,410 --> 01:44:22,490
Sighting and design, we are recommending a 300 foot setback from loading dogs to sensitive

996
01:44:22,490 --> 01:44:26,030
receptors of the property line, for example, of residential uses.

997
01:44:26,890 --> 01:44:29,370
We are recommending landscape screening.

998
01:44:30,090 --> 01:44:39,490
What you see in the policy is 50 foot apart and 50% larger box trees, 36 inch box trees.

999
01:44:39,810 --> 01:44:47,710
It's been brought to our attention and appropriately so the 50 feet may be too far to provide adequate

1000
01:44:47,710 --> 01:44:48,110
screening.

1001
01:44:48,170 --> 01:44:53,730
So we would certainly support if the board would like to reduce that further and say no further

1002
01:44:53,730 --> 01:44:59,210
than 20 or 25 feet apart. That may be more appropriate here for what we're trying to achieve.

1003
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:06,900
And that we also provide electrical connections so that trucks, particularly refrigerator trucks,

1004
01:45:06,940 --> 01:45:16,460
are not idling to run their electrical equipment. Operations, again, CARP 2010 engines, that truck

1005
01:45:16,460 --> 01:45:22,600
routes be established for each use so that they can get to the freeways as directly as possible

1006
01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:28,740
and avoid cutting through residential neighborhoods, signage recommendations as well. And that we're

1007
01:45:28,740 --> 01:45:34,060
We're also stressing that the applicants all work together to reach out to the communities

1008
01:45:34,060 --> 01:45:37,880
around them and really see how they can be good neighbors and integrate themselves into

1009
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:38,500
the community.

1010
01:45:39,180 --> 01:45:43,080
And look for opportunities to make other enhancements to the communities around them.

1011
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:49,100
And as part of that, we have recommended on some specific projects as well and we will

1012
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:55,320
move forward when appropriate that there be a supplemental financial contribution to further

1013
01:45:55,860 --> 01:45:57,400
offset any or quality impacts.

1014
01:45:58,100 --> 01:46:17,780
So that's kind of the high level look, our recommendation as you see it before you is that we move forward with adopting the policy with whatever changes the more we want to may want to see done understanding that you're going to want to have further discussion at your next port meeting when Supervisor Hewitt is in attendance some available for questions.

1015
01:46:18,300 --> 01:46:18,820
Very good.

1016
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:25,480
You and I have been discussing this for a year, so I'll open up to my colleagues if they want to discuss any items.

1017
01:46:25,580 --> 01:46:26,540
It's super easy to be able to.

1018
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:32,220
What does the analysis to come up with the 300 foot setback?

1019
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:43,380
So the 300 foot setback supervisor that was based on, it's more of, if you will, a rule of thumb that we want it to come up with something that was significant distance.

1020
01:46:43,380 --> 01:46:46,720
And so, you know, imagine a football field, right?

1021
01:46:46,860 --> 01:46:50,960
It's 300 feet, so that there would be adequate separation.

1022
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:56,700
And I believe we used 300 feet for other land-used types of items.

1023
01:46:57,900 --> 01:47:03,580
But it is somewhat of a number that staff just felt was an appropriate number.

1024
01:47:04,260 --> 01:47:08,400
We're trying to create some separation, but not go too far,

1025
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:15,280
where we're cutting into the usable property of the site adversely.

1026
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:21,540
So if you will, we viewed it as a good rule of thumb kind of equating it to a football field

1027
01:47:21,540 --> 01:47:26,180
that it would provide some separation for some level of noise and other impacts.

1028
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:30,260
Okay, so how do we get the 250,000 square feet?

1029
01:47:30,260 --> 01:47:42,440
The 250,000 square feet, we've had past the board direction, I believe, on uses of a certain

1030
01:47:42,440 --> 01:47:51,100
size that the board has asked in the past that we, even if they're fast track that they

1031
01:47:51,100 --> 01:47:54,580
go before the planning commission, so the public gets an opportunity to comment on them

1032
01:47:54,580 --> 01:47:57,820
and the threshold that was used for that is 250,000 square feet.

1033
01:47:57,820 --> 01:48:00,320
And we see that as a good dividing point.

1034
01:48:00,580 --> 01:48:05,360
Again, it's somewhat of a number that we have to settle on something.

1035
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:10,780
Good dividing point between the smaller scale industrial buildings that are not logistic

1036
01:48:10,780 --> 01:48:16,600
uses, but normally what we are seeing in the larger scale warehouse on logistics,

1037
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:21,380
those buildings range from 300,000 square feet to a million or more.

1038
01:48:21,940 --> 01:48:26,780
So 250 seems to be a good dividing point what we see in the market and

1039
01:48:26,780 --> 01:48:30,580
between small-scale industrial and larger logistics uses.

1040
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:37,820
So in my district, we don't really have the opportunity for this, but do we have maps

1041
01:48:37,820 --> 01:48:44,400
we're in the county and the other districts where we're looking at this being a challenge

1042
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:46,440
with a need for the good neighbor policy?

1043
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:53,320
Well, we have seen it applied where we have had most of the activity is along the industrial

1044
01:48:53,320 --> 01:49:00,820
quarter, if you will, along the 215 corridor, particularly the Mead Valley area, that's

1045
01:49:00,820 --> 01:49:04,840
where there's been some specific plans that were approved a number of years ago, calling

1046
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:11,840
for some larger scale uses out there. So that has been primarily the growth area.

1047
01:49:12,100 --> 01:49:20,300
We have had a few scattered facilities other than that. We had one in the out-and-as-fifth

1048
01:49:20,300 --> 01:49:50,240
And I mean, Cherry Valley a couple of years ago that was considered and approved by the board and we implemented similar types of measures on that one potentially again there is a fair amount of industrial property out there throughout the county where folks would have an opportunity to apply for a land use case on that or seek a general plan amendment but where we have predominantly seen the activity has been around the two 15 core or in the meat valley.

1049
01:49:50,300 --> 01:49:50,520
already.

1050
01:49:52,640 --> 01:49:57,160
Okay. And that was, that was my question was because I do know that it was,

1051
01:49:57,260 --> 01:50:01,340
it was, it was supervisor Hewitt, and that was why I pulled it is to get an idea of where

1052
01:50:01,340 --> 01:50:04,980
it's at. And if it's, if his district has that potential, he certainly needs to be a part

1053
01:50:04,980 --> 01:50:12,480
of the conversation. So, I do want to move that we continue this to the next meeting on

1054
01:50:12,480 --> 01:50:20,680
the 27th. Correct. Yeah. Next regular meeting. Yeah. So I, I can

1055
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:24,880
I concur with continuing it for the benefit of Supervisor Hewitt's participation.

1056
01:50:25,300 --> 01:50:32,340
It is an issue that is dramatically impacting the first district as mentioned along the 215 corridor.

1057
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:39,600
We probably have in the works conceptually to submitting plans.

1058
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:47,800
I would guess between 30 and 40 warehouses on the maps, they're all pretty much not all, but

1059
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:54,880
there are pretty much a result of previous decades of setting aside those areas for industrial corridors.

1060
01:50:55,520 --> 01:51:02,200
There was a desire to see some of that change to retail and as we all know retail is losing its grip

1061
01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:09,800
because of the online order and so the warehouses are getting more and more prominent and the

1062
01:51:10,440 --> 01:51:17,360
just a few points before we vote real quick. The distance issue I believe it was AQMD is coming out

1063
01:51:17,360 --> 01:51:27,600
with their proposal some year with a thousand foot distance my understanding I think the

1064
01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:32,620
city of Riverside may have a thousand but I'm not even sure of that. I was willing to

1065
01:51:32,620 --> 01:51:39,200
compromise at 500 but we're at 300 which is a football field so imagine setting in your

1066
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:44,360
backyard and joining your friends and your pool and whatever and listening to diesel tractor

1067
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:47,460
your trailer rigs back up all night in your backyard.

1068
01:51:47,780 --> 01:51:49,160
So that's my concern there.

1069
01:51:49,740 --> 01:51:52,700
Landscaping I do agree that 50 foot is too much.

1070
01:51:52,780 --> 01:51:56,100
The first district standard is about 25 feet for screening.

1071
01:51:56,860 --> 01:51:59,180
There was another component in here and I was looking for it.

1072
01:51:59,200 --> 01:52:03,920
I didn't find it that we need to be careful of about which way the facilities are orientated.

1073
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:13,880
There was a mention about not having them orientated towards corridors related to transportation.

1074
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:25,920
My concern is I would prefer that they actually face the transportation corridors and not face the residential homes that are typically found behind them.

1075
01:52:26,140 --> 01:52:30,760
So we're going to be dealing with this right away probably starting tomorrow.

1076
01:52:31,500 --> 01:52:37,100
I think there's a million square footer going to the planning commission and I'm sure it's going to be appealed to the board.

1077
01:52:37,100 --> 01:52:43,600
And it's not even something that normally would come to the board because it's all pre-approved through the previous

1078
01:52:44,420 --> 01:52:49,420
Land use. I think it's a plot plan that's been appealed if I'm not mistaken. I believe

1079
01:52:49,960 --> 01:52:55,300
They were approved under a master specific plan and in the case before the planning commission

1080
01:52:55,300 --> 01:53:02,100
I believe is a plot plan tomorrow. Yeah, so a million square foot plot plan for a warehouse can go through

1081
01:53:03,060 --> 01:53:09,400
relatively quick, but if you want to do a 3,000 square foot business, you have a multiple years to get through the process.

1082
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:15,000
So our process favors warehouses and discourages others in certain zones.

1083
01:53:15,220 --> 01:53:19,640
So I'm looking forward to our future discussion on this and I'll support the motion.

1084
01:53:22,420 --> 01:53:27,140
And that passes 4-0 to continue to the next regular meeting.

1085
01:53:27,140 --> 01:53:37,400
And that takes us to item 10.1, Supervisor Washington, if my notes are correct.

1086
01:53:43,430 --> 01:53:44,770
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

1087
01:53:46,550 --> 01:54:01,310
The reason I pulled 10.1 was to give the Housing Authority an opportunity to come up and brief the board on some changes to this program.

1088
01:54:02,050 --> 01:54:07,230
And better my understanding of the Desert Rose Project.

1089
01:54:08,270 --> 01:54:13,690
And so my question, if you want to come up and at least brief the board, I appreciate it.

1090
01:54:13,910 --> 01:54:17,190
Mr. Thank you, Mr. Chair, on board supervisors.

1091
01:54:17,690 --> 01:54:24,870
So Desert Rose apartments is a property that was originally a migrant housing project that was run by the state for a number of years.

1092
01:54:24,870 --> 01:54:37,910
and then around the late 2000s, the housing authority at the request of the state took ownership of the property and rehabbed the property specifically for farm workers.

1093
01:54:38,790 --> 01:54:51,590
During that time, as many are aware, the Palo Verre, the number of the growers in that community, they sold their water rights to metropolitan water district in turn leaving a number of the fields fallow in that area.

1094
01:54:51,590 --> 01:54:56,750
And so in turn, the need for farm worker housing in the area started to dry up.

1095
01:54:57,030 --> 01:55:00,910
At that point in time, we started at the housing authority running into occupancy challenges.

1096
01:55:02,350 --> 01:55:12,910
So, and then, two or three years ago, we approached the state, which was providing the restriction that it would only be for farm workers to allow us to open it up to the general population.

1097
01:55:14,050 --> 01:55:18,690
And even with that, we've run into occupancy challenges.

1098
01:55:18,690 --> 01:55:28,550
where the property has sat large, like at least half vacant, as of this morning it has 41 out of 76 units are currently occupied.

1099
01:55:29,310 --> 01:55:34,970
It doesn't, it's just coincidentally correlates to the 41 project based vouchers we're talking about today.

1100
01:55:35,910 --> 01:55:47,230
But over the years, the rents that were being charged wasn't being able to cover the operating expenses of the property.

1101
01:55:47,230 --> 01:55:53,470
And supervisor Perez, we took a tour about the property about four months ago or so.

1102
01:55:54,110 --> 01:55:58,710
And the property was not in up to the standard of the housing authority or of the sport.

1103
01:55:59,430 --> 01:56:04,230
And the supervisor tasked us with like what do we need to bring this property up to stuff.

1104
01:56:04,950 --> 01:56:12,950
And so since that time, we've brought on a third-party property management company to take on the operations of the property.

1105
01:56:12,950 --> 01:56:34,310
as well as we are working with third-party service providers to look at restarting the child care center in that location, bringing in job training programs out there, as well as continue to serve the farm workers in that area through the Office of MigraNet and bringing that community center up the snuff.

1106
01:56:34,310 --> 01:56:38,710
All of those additional expenses cost additional revenue.

1107
01:56:39,090 --> 01:56:46,150
In order to do that, what we're recommending today is that we project based about Section 8 vouchers.

1108
01:56:46,690 --> 01:56:52,030
And this allows the property in turn to receive the higher income directly from HUD and

1109
01:56:52,030 --> 01:56:54,210
still serve extremely low individuals.

1110
01:56:55,030 --> 01:57:00,970
So we're serving the people that are out there today, the majority of whom have incomes around $12,000.

1111
01:57:01,450 --> 01:57:13,110
and allowing them basically they receive the services going forward because I think we all know housing is housing first but it's housing with the need for a full wraparound services.

1112
01:57:13,690 --> 01:57:16,910
So we are looking at bringing in our family self-sufficiency program.

1113
01:57:17,450 --> 01:57:22,970
So allow people if they get into the project, we work with them to get an increased their income and employment.

1114
01:57:23,410 --> 01:57:25,750
So they're long-term successful property.

1115
01:57:26,470 --> 01:57:26,970
I'm not sure of that.

1116
01:57:26,970 --> 01:57:29,250
That fully answers your question, or if you have other questions, if you want to.

1117
01:57:29,370 --> 01:57:43,710
It does, and I have to defer to Supervisor Perez, I applaud the effort to support a population that is in need.

1118
01:57:43,910 --> 01:57:56,310
Obviously, the need has shifted because the reduced population of farm workers, which was a good use, but no longer is that.

1119
01:57:56,310 --> 01:58:07,400
And so the only question I guess I have, I don't have any complaints or concerns about the housing authority providing some form of

1120
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:13,500
wraparound services and if we can get HUD to support some of the costs of that housing.

1121
01:58:14,540 --> 01:58:24,620
I guess my question would just be, is that the best location, or is there a better location for providing those services,

1122
01:58:24,620 --> 01:58:39,240
is maybe closer to the Coachella Valley, but I would have to defer to Supervisor Perez if he thinks this is the best location and use, or if there's a better location and use.

1123
01:58:39,840 --> 01:58:46,500
So I like to think I could walk and chew gum at the same time, so this may not be the perfect location, but is the location we have that we own today.

1124
01:58:46,980 --> 01:58:54,160
So we're going to help here, but we're also looking at complimentary projects for full wrap round services in Cathedral City.

1125
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:57,600
and Riverside, Rupert Valley, and other parts of the county as well.

1126
01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:02,900
This is just one specific effort, and this is an asset that's currently owned by the Housing Authority today.

1127
01:59:03,380 --> 01:59:06,840
So it's something that we can't ignore while we're doing other things.

1128
01:59:06,840 --> 01:59:09,440
This is an area of need for those people out there.

1129
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:11,700
And so we're going to look at, we're going to do them today.

1130
01:59:11,940 --> 01:59:15,440
And then tomorrow we're going to be meeting on helping folks in other parts of the county.

1131
01:59:15,440 --> 01:59:18,000
Okay, okay, I like that plan.

1132
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:27,120
One thing just caught my ear that you just talked about because I see there's a tendency

1133
01:59:27,580 --> 01:59:29,220
to do this here at the county.

1134
01:59:30,300 --> 01:59:34,320
We talk about two parts of the county, East County and West County.

1135
01:59:35,200 --> 01:59:38,000
West County has about 80% of the population.

1136
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:45,920
When we talk about West County, we talk about river, we rarely go south of Paris.

1137
01:59:47,890 --> 01:59:55,740
So 40% of the county's population is in the southwestern part of Riverside County.

1138
01:59:56,440 --> 01:59:59,860
and sewer as a Washington, that there's not on the agenda today, but

1139
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:10,140
There is a budding projects in the southwest, the county that we'd like to talk to you more about later date because there are things that are coming down in that area, not that.

1140
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:29,980
The full geographic, like someone asked me where it was the need for housing in the county. I said, like, well, one project in every district. And so I think we need to push push in all of our areas because you're exactly right. The in terms of we want to encourage people and be developing housing and high growth areas.

1141
02:00:29,980 --> 02:00:38,400
in a couple of meetings, we're going to be placed a motion before you to rehab an apartment complex, specifically in the city of Temecula.

1142
02:00:39,280 --> 02:00:47,700
So we are looking at how we can do this, not just in the fourth district and east to west, middle, where we're looking to do it everywhere.

1143
02:00:48,460 --> 02:00:53,820
Thank you, and I'll go ahead and make the motion to approve staff's recommendation.

1144
02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:55,340
Let's see what we can do.

1145
02:00:57,580 --> 02:01:05,100
I think we've come a long way on this issue, quite frankly, I mean, you know, when I went out there and took a look,

1146
02:01:07,770 --> 02:01:16,050
the area was not up to par, and you all know that, we all know that it needed a lot of work.

1147
02:01:16,290 --> 02:01:23,490
And that's part of the reason why we don't need to have people wanting to rent, because it looked pretty bad.

1148
02:01:25,510 --> 02:01:33,990
And so, you know, from gathering information from the locals and having community meetings,

1149
02:01:34,830 --> 02:01:41,870
part of the request was, you know, to upgrade the area, you know, make it so that it looks

1150
02:01:41,870 --> 02:01:48,250
like at least like other areas and maybe see a vibe or a cellar or to make their, wherever,

1151
02:01:48,250 --> 02:01:55,130
But it just looked like a second-class citizen area.

1152
02:01:55,310 --> 02:01:55,870
That's what it looked like.

1153
02:01:56,690 --> 02:01:59,290
But my hope is that obviously with these efforts,

1154
02:01:59,290 --> 02:02:00,970
it's going to get a lot better.

1155
02:02:01,710 --> 02:02:07,330
And so some of these services and after school programs are a result

1156
02:02:07,330 --> 02:02:08,730
of the community input.

1157
02:02:09,450 --> 02:02:13,670
Not only from their specifically Ripley or,

1158
02:02:14,070 --> 02:02:16,510
but also just overall, I mean, the community applies.

1159
02:02:16,510 --> 02:02:22,850
the Palavetta Valley are very much wanting to support ongoing efforts in that, in that

1160
02:02:22,850 --> 02:02:28,130
specific little region. Because even though the city of life may be struggling, they know

1161
02:02:28,130 --> 02:02:34,310
that Ripley is struggling even more and mess up very struggling even more. So they're

1162
02:02:34,310 --> 02:02:39,910
supportive of this as well. The only thing that I would add, and obviously having the management,

1163
02:02:40,150 --> 02:02:44,490
I think it's going to do wonders. It's going to be much more helpful. But does that forget

1164
02:02:44,490 --> 02:02:52,750
that park that we own as well. You know, it's right next door and that part needs work. At least some manicuring.

1165
02:02:53,350 --> 02:03:01,550
Let's get some landscaping done in there. Some of those trees need some trimming or maybe we just get rid of some of those trees.

1166
02:03:02,430 --> 02:03:10,490
They're just seen there. They look terrible quite frankly, but I know we're going to get there and I know you're working on it.

1167
02:03:10,490 --> 02:03:13,950
been working on it, and I appreciate your points that you made today.

1168
02:03:15,010 --> 02:03:18,410
And so obviously I support this, and thank you for bringing that up.

1169
02:03:19,610 --> 02:03:22,330
Supervisor Washington, for your concerns that you have as well.

1170
02:03:23,010 --> 02:03:28,950
Okay, thank you very much, votes have been counted, cast it passes for zero.

1171
02:03:30,470 --> 02:03:35,830
That takes us to item, let's see, flood control items.

1172
02:03:35,830 --> 02:03:39,410
I think those were all taken care of, we have two, we have one off calendar.

1173
02:03:42,250 --> 02:03:54,410
It takes us to item 19.2, 19.1 was continued to the 27th, 19.3 was continued to the 27th, leaving 19.2 for

1174
02:03:55,410 --> 02:04:00,050
anyone who have any questions, otherwise we'll just, let's-

1175
02:04:00,050 --> 02:04:01,730
I can't answer any questions if you'd like a report.

1176
02:04:01,890 --> 02:04:02,290
Any questions?

1177
02:04:02,990 --> 02:04:03,610
I'll move approval.

1178
02:04:03,790 --> 02:04:04,570
Great to see you, Rob.

1179
02:04:05,550 --> 02:04:05,890
Thank you.

1180
02:04:06,030 --> 02:04:06,370
Pleasure.

1181
02:04:06,970 --> 02:04:07,290
All right.

1182
02:04:07,930 --> 02:04:10,650
And that passes the

1183
02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:14,500
opening and closing of the public hearing?

1184
02:04:15,620 --> 02:04:16,020
Yes.

1185
02:04:16,560 --> 02:04:17,500
Thank you.

1186
02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:18,980
What'd she say?

1187
02:04:19,560 --> 02:04:20,800
Please opening and closing the public hearing.

1188
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:22,480
You know, I opened and closed the public hearing

1189
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:23,600
in case you didn't hear that.

1190
02:04:25,960 --> 02:04:28,840
Before I get to some trouble, do we have anybody requesting to speak?

1191
02:04:29,660 --> 02:04:30,060
No.

1192
02:04:30,460 --> 02:04:30,860
Okay.

1193
02:04:30,860 --> 02:04:33,280
Okay, got by on that one.

1194
02:04:34,340 --> 02:04:36,100
Thank you, that passed for zero.

1195
02:04:38,850 --> 02:04:42,070
You know, you could do real good to the whole meeting and screw it up towards the end.

1196
02:04:43,770 --> 02:04:47,410
All right, that takes us to memorial adjournments.

1197
02:04:49,070 --> 02:04:50,890
Do we have any memorial adjournments?

1198
02:04:52,900 --> 02:04:53,820
So we've registered speakable.

1199
02:04:56,380 --> 02:04:57,920
As soon as I find it, it's up here.

1200
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:01,420
Oh, come on.

1201
02:05:04,690 --> 02:05:07,570
Yes, we've had many within our district, but I'm going to.

1202
02:05:09,530 --> 02:05:22,470
I mentioned and please include Lyle Paul Norland in the Memorial German and Mr. Norland passed away at the age of 88 on July 6th.

1203
02:05:22,470 --> 02:05:26,610
He was married to his bride for 66 years.

1204
02:05:27,090 --> 02:05:29,230
They had just celebrated their 66th anniversary.

1205
02:05:30,630 --> 02:05:39,310
And Mr. Norland served honorably in the United States Air Force and he did a 30 year career providing products to military commissioners.

1206
02:05:39,310 --> 02:05:43,130
commissionaries and post exchanges around the world.

1207
02:05:43,750 --> 02:05:47,490
And I thought that was an interesting background.

1208
02:05:47,990 --> 02:05:53,290
He had four sons and they actively involved in their communities.

1209
02:05:54,170 --> 02:05:57,270
We have Mark with Mary Delaine in Corona.

1210
02:05:57,490 --> 02:05:59,250
They're very active in the Corona community.

1211
02:06:00,150 --> 02:06:03,230
Eric and Sonia and San Jose, David and Lauren and Riverside

1212
02:06:03,230 --> 02:06:05,550
and Kevin and Shelly Temecula.

1213
02:06:05,550 --> 02:06:20,090
Mr. Noan has seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, and I take pride in anybody who not only serves the military, but also serves once they've become a civilian, so with that I'd like to include Mr. Norland and our memorials.

1214
02:06:20,890 --> 02:06:21,590
Okay.

1215
02:06:22,330 --> 02:06:26,230
I have two Mr. Chairman, Supervisor Washington.

1216
02:06:27,310 --> 02:06:37,930
I'd like to recognize and honor the passing Teresa Lynn Barnett, a loving and beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, teacher, and friend.

1217
02:06:38,230 --> 02:06:43,350
She passed away on July 6th after a courageous battle with cancer.

1218
02:06:43,350 --> 02:06:50,730
Teresa was born on June 13th, 1960, and grew up in the San Jacinto Valley.

1219
02:06:51,530 --> 02:06:55,210
She married Rick Barnett who preceded her in death in 1993.

1220
02:06:56,430 --> 02:07:00,370
She was a well-regarded teacher in the San Jacinto Unified School District.

1221
02:07:00,970 --> 02:07:07,050
For nearly 30 years, she loved her students, and never met a student she couldn't reach.

1222
02:07:07,050 --> 02:07:16,510
She has survived her children, Keith and Lauren, her mother-in-law, five grandchildren, eight siblings, many nieces and nephews.

1223
02:07:19,120 --> 02:07:31,300
Additionally, I'd like to recognize someone that I did not know personally or nor did he live in Riverside County.

1224
02:07:31,300 --> 02:07:41,600
But I felt a kinship at the passing of Lieutenant Charles Z. Walker.

1225
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:54,300
He was a 33 year old Navy F-A-18 Super Hornet Jet Pilot who was killed in a crash in Death Valley on Wednesday, July 31st.

1226
02:07:55,380 --> 02:08:01,840
Barker was commissioned on December 15th, 2008, following his graduation from Embry Riddell,

1227
02:08:02,260 --> 02:08:04,300
Aeronautical University in Dayton,

1228
02:08:06,600 --> 02:08:10,940
in Florida, where he was a member of the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps.

1229
02:08:11,780 --> 02:08:19,420
He was a top gun pilot and he trained at the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center in Fallon, Nevada.

1230
02:08:20,200 --> 02:08:27,820
In early 2018 he reported to the Vigilantes, the tenant walker was described as an incredible

1231
02:08:27,820 --> 02:08:30,520
naval aviator, husband and son.

1232
02:08:31,000 --> 02:08:37,840
He was an integral part of the Vigilante family and his absence will be keenly felt by

1233
02:08:37,840 --> 02:08:39,300
all of those who knew him.

1234
02:08:41,460 --> 02:08:42,160
Okay, Mr. Chairman.

1235
02:08:42,620 --> 02:08:42,860
All right.

1236
02:08:43,120 --> 02:08:43,540
Any others?

1237
02:08:44,280 --> 02:08:44,560
Okay.

1238
02:08:45,180 --> 02:08:46,660
Close session announcement.

1239
02:08:47,640 --> 02:08:48,520
I'm sorry.

1240
02:08:48,940 --> 02:08:49,040
Sorry.

1241
02:08:49,040 --> 02:08:49,240
I

1242
02:08:52,020 --> 02:08:58,880
figure right around December, I'm going to get the hang of this, passes 4-0 council.

1243
02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:02,180
We will now head into closed session as indicated in the agenda.

1244
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:05,900
There may be a reportable action and if there is, we will come back out and report.

1245
02:09:06,360 --> 02:09:06,680
Thank you.

1246
02:09:07,400 --> 02:09:07,800
Okay.

1247
02:09:08,020 --> 02:09:12,480
We'll meet for closed session at 11.45, it's about 10 minutes.

1248

Thank you.

1249
02:10:21,730 --> 02:10:22,110
All right.

1250
02:10:22,270 --> 02:10:26,170
This is a report out on closed session on agenda item B1 regarding a settlement agreement

1251
02:10:26,170 --> 02:10:30,950
