1
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:30,680
Before we begin this meeting, I'll take a moment to address and remind everyone of our House rules.

2
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,820
Public engagement is the cornerstone of a transparent and accountable government, and these board of

3
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:40,140
Supervisors meetings are one of the primary venues where all Sandigans can make their voices heard.

4
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:50,420
Our county is committed to a work environment free from unlawful discrimination and harassment, including sexual racial religious age, disability, or any other forms of discrimination or harassment.

5
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:59,300
Under the board's rules, speakers may not use loud, shouting, threatening, and pertinent slender's profane or abusive language to any member of the board,

6
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:01,300
staff or the general public.

7
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:07,870
All remarks and questions must remain on topic during the duration of your speaking time

8
00:01:07,870 --> 00:01:11,890
and must be addressed to the board and not to county staff.

9
00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:16,390
Any speaker who engages in comments that break these rules will be issued a warning.

10
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:20,410
After one warning, you will be asked to leave the chambers for the remainder of the meeting.

11
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:25,450
Finally, speaker's starting violence may be reported to law enforcement and removed from the meeting.

12
00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:30,430
This is a space for community engagement deliberation and progress, not for harassment violence

13
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:30,790
and hate.

14
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:34,250
We will now proceed with non-agenda public communication.

15
00:01:35,130 --> 00:01:38,550
This is an opportunity for the public to address the board and subject matters within

16
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:42,130
the board's jurisdiction, but not an item on the meeting agenda.

17
00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:47,910
The only action we board members may take is a referral to the CAO.

18
00:01:48,810 --> 00:01:52,690
Speakers may speak once per meeting for non-agenda public comment either yesterday's

19
00:01:52,690 --> 00:01:56,230
land use legislative session or today's general session, but not both.

20
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:02,870
And to facilitate our meeting, we will have five non-agenda public comment speakers in person

21
00:02:02,870 --> 00:02:07,950
in five by phone in the beginning of the meeting and the remainder will be heard at the

22
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:09,150
close of today's session.

23
00:02:10,210 --> 00:02:14,370
In order to ensure timely completion of today's agenda, for any discussion item with

24
00:02:14,370 --> 00:02:18,130
10 or more speakers, individuals will have one minute to share their opinion.

25
00:02:19,330 --> 00:02:23,050
And a reminder, according to ROL4A, members of the public that are not in the speaking

26
00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:27,110
in need interpretation assistance received twice a lot of time for their comments.

27
00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:32,050
Audit members may not whistle, clap, stump, feet, or anything that disrupts the proceedings.

28
00:02:32,850 --> 00:02:35,890
If you disrupt the meeting, you will be given one warning and after that one warning.

29
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:40,530
If you disrupt the meeting again, you will be directed to leave the chamber for the remainder of the meeting.

30
00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:42,230
Andrew, please call the speakers.

31
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:43,530
Thank you, Chair.

32
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:47,350
Last November, we have 28 requests to speak a matter is not listed on the agenda.

33
00:02:47,570 --> 00:02:51,270
15 individuals in person and 13 requesting to speak by phone.

34
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:55,610
For those that requested to speak by phone, please dial into the conference line using the instructions

35
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,150
that were provided to you.

36
00:02:57,310 --> 00:03:01,470
We'll begin with the in-person speakers, and we'll now randomly select the first five speakers

37
00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:02,330
in-person.

38
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:06,370
All the remaining speakers will be heard at the conclusion of today's session.

39
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:10,100
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

40
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,680
As your name is called, please support and stand on the arrows until it is returned to

41
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,240
speak at the podium.

42
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,280
You'll have two minutes to address the border asking to begin by stating your name for

43
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:17,960
the audio record.

44
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,480
Like to fight for the first three individuals,

45
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,600
Shariah Adapah, Doyle Morrison,

46
00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:27,420
Tabland Aruya, and they'll be followed

47
00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:29,240
by the final two speakers in person,

48
00:03:29,580 --> 00:03:30,820
Oliver Twist and Anna.

49
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:32,660
I've called your name, please come forward.

50
00:03:45,820 --> 00:03:47,200
Good morning, members of the board.

51
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,580
My name is Shariah Adapah, and I am currently

52
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:52,500
an intern with the summer youth academy

53
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,780
with Supervisor Monica Montgomery Stop.

54
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:58,540
And I wanted to address potential littering

55
00:03:58,540 --> 00:04:00,620
and pollution concerns.

56
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Currently, California laws make littering punishable by fines up to $1,000.

57
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:09,340
Yet enforcement is virtually non-existent.

58
00:04:09,620 --> 00:04:14,660
The burden of the cleanup falls entirely on the county, costing taxpayers millions

59
00:04:14,660 --> 00:04:19,340
in relative spending rather than attempts to fix the problem.

60
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,440
Research and social behavior demonstrates that visibly neglected environments saying

61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:30,840
the signal. A signal that tells people littering is the norm. So, I urge the board to explore

62
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:36,800
community, centered solutions, particularly ones that engage the youth to participate in

63
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,560
the clansiness of their own neighborhoods. Thank you for your time and this opportunity.

64
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,420
Thank you. Next speaker, please.

65
00:04:46,140 --> 00:04:48,720
Hello, my name is Taitlanderia, and I'm with the

66
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,100
survivor of Montgomery Steps Summer Youth Academy. Thank you for your time today. I want to first

67
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,040
knowledge and appreciate the work this Board has already been doing, and programs currently

68
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,080
in place to support people experiencing homelessness, I recognize and value those ongoing efforts.

69
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Homelessness is a series issue in our community, and I'm here to urge continued investment

70
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,340
in long-term solutions. That means strengthening services like mental health care, substance use

71
00:05:12,340 --> 00:05:17,940
treatment, job opportunities, and supportive services that help people regain stability. Prevention

72
00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:24,080
is also key, rental assistance, crisis support, and outreach can help prevent homelessness

73
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,420
before it starts. Homelessness is a community issue, and it requires a continued community

74
00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:33,820
response. I urge and encourage communities to continue support for the existing programs

75
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:38,620
championed by this board while building on them to expand their impact. Thank you for your time

76
00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:39,020
today.

77
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:43,400
Thank you, next speaker, please.

78
00:05:53,050 --> 00:05:56,850
Good morning Board of Supervisors. First, thank you for your time and consideration.

79
00:05:56,850 --> 00:06:02,130
My name is Ana Savito and I am with Supervisor Monaco Montgomery Step Summer Youth Academy.

80
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:07,590
I am here to urge you to continue advocating and funding solutions for the Tijuana River Valley.

81
00:06:08,130 --> 00:06:12,210
As you know, this issue has impacted both the people who reside there

82
00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:16,850
and the community surrounding this area, which raises concerns for public and environmental health.

83
00:06:17,650 --> 00:06:23,390
Advocacy won't show that this problem becomes resolved while funding can solve and prevent future issues from rising.

84
00:06:23,390 --> 00:06:28,090
I encourage you to continue supporting investments in wastewater treatments and infrastructure

85
00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:31,690
improvements in order to approve and protect the communities there.

86
00:06:32,310 --> 00:06:34,910
Thank you for your time and commitment to resolving this issue.

87
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:37,340
Thank you.

88
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,340
Next speaker, please.

89
00:06:46,410 --> 00:06:47,810
Good morning, Oliver Twist.

90
00:06:47,830 --> 00:06:51,430
First, I'm happy to see the young people developing their public speaking, so thank you

91
00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:52,270
for that program.

92
00:06:53,190 --> 00:06:54,070
Oliver Twist here.

93
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:57,890
I want to take a moment to celebrate something bigger than any agenda item.

94
00:06:57,890 --> 00:07:05,050
happy birthday America. Nearly 250 years ago, this country remains one of the most extraordinary

95
00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:12,570
experiments in human history. In perfect, absolutely, still evolving, always. The grounded

96
00:07:12,570 --> 00:07:18,830
and a promise that is drawn millions from around the world, the promise of freedom, of opportunity,

97
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:25,010
and of a chance to build something better for yourself, your family, and for the next generation.

98
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:30,010
What makes this nation remarkable, isn't that we've gotten everything right, far from it,

99
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:35,330
is that we keep pushing forward, ever striving to become that more perfect union.

100
00:07:35,870 --> 00:07:41,230
The rights we enjoy, the doors open to innovation and ambition, the ability to speak,

101
00:07:41,610 --> 00:07:43,590
to build challenge and dream.

102
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:46,630
These are not guarantees found in most of the world.

103
00:07:47,130 --> 00:07:50,390
Here they are part of the very fabric of our great nation.

104
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:55,530
So, today, let's celebrate that privilege, not take it for granted, and carry forward the

105
00:07:55,530 --> 00:07:58,250
responsibility and keep strengthening it.

106
00:07:58,350 --> 00:08:04,510
Happy birthday, America, lastly to this chamber, bring back clapping, the happy cacophony

107
00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:05,390
of democracy.

108
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:11,070
Your double standard of allowing clapping for your own proclamations for yourselves and your

109
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:16,950
people of choosing, but not for when we, the people's speak, is not only hypocritical, it

110
00:08:16,950 --> 00:08:24,690
is also illegal, please refer to in-rake, a clause is a form of expressive speech and a feedback

111
00:08:24,690 --> 00:08:30,570
mechanism that communicates levels of support. You are infringing on a critical form of

112
00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:36,270
public input, particularly for those who might be too hesitant or too shy to speak, bring

113
00:08:36,270 --> 00:08:38,550
back clapping. Thank you.

114
00:08:41,050 --> 00:08:44,600
Thank you. Is Doyle Morrison present in the chamber?

115
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:50,580
I'm not seeing him present, I'll go ahead and call the fifth speaker on the list, Sanaya,

116
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:51,180
Jamison.

117
00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:07,810
Good morning, Supervis.

118
00:09:08,170 --> 00:09:12,610
My name is Sanaya Jamison, and I am here with Supervis and Montgomery.

119
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:15,130
Monica Montgomery, step summary of the academy.

120
00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:21,530
I am here to speak about juvenile justice and the importance of creating assistance

121
00:09:21,530 --> 00:09:25,870
and not prioritize re-optive meetings.

122
00:09:27,050 --> 00:09:29,070
Accountability and opportunity.

123
00:09:29,490 --> 00:09:34,750
Investing a safe environment's mentorship, education,

124
00:09:36,770 --> 00:09:40,370
and support resources allows youth to grow.

125
00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:43,590
Make positive changes and contribute to stronger communication.

126
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,410
Thank you for your time and consideration.

127
00:09:48,170 --> 00:09:48,750
Thank you.

128
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:53,110
Well, now here from the individuals that requested to speak by phone, again, in accordance

129
00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:57,070
of the board's rules will be hearing from the first five collars, the remaining collars

130
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,610
will be heard at the conclusion of today's session.

131
00:10:00,530 --> 00:10:04,010
When it is returned to speak, it will be unmuted and you will hear a recording that will

132
00:10:04,010 --> 00:10:05,550
tell you to begin your comments.

133
00:10:06,110 --> 00:10:07,470
We will start with our first collar.

134
00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:23,940
Go Mary Davis, I'm Paul Bold, like last meeting, I'm glad to say short discussion agenda

135
00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:30,800
now that the south-serving term limit expanding Charger Medler was approved for the ballot,

136
00:10:31,580 --> 00:10:35,740
so there is no need for political gloss curing right now.

137
00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:43,880
They can't they regularly engage in an unlawful instruction to put off disclosure of embarrassing

138
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,760
tax, wasting tax, payer resources to keep the public in the dark.

139
00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:53,300
This interferes with our right to advise and content.

140
00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:01,900
An act of Republican democracy requires public participation by as many members of the public

141
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:02,860
as possible.

142
00:11:03,620 --> 00:11:08,960
This is the route to getting the best ideas on how to fix the many problems and failures

143
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,220
in this county.

144
00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:17,380
Most people, as the U.S. Constitution, as the California Constitution specifies an article

145
00:11:17,380 --> 00:11:23,620
one section three, the people have the right to instruct, there are representatives,

146
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:29,500
a decision government for the redorts of grievances, and a symbol for the ability to

147
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,420
consult for the common good.

148
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,060
The people have the right of access to information concerning the conduct of the people's

149
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:45,260
and therefore, the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies

150
00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:53,680
called be opened to public scrutiny. And since Section B7 says, each local agency is

151
00:11:53,680 --> 00:12:00,540
hereby required to comply with the California Public Record's Act and the Ralph M. Brown Act

152
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:10,900
And what's in a sub-sequence that you call it an axiom instrument being either act, that act is an effect part of the Constitution.

153
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,020
And if you're actually rules or contrary, there is no effect.

154
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,980
We'll hear from the next caller.

155
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,320
I'm going slow here.

156
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,320
The system is failing now more than ever.

157
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,480
We have local county, we

158
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,440
have local county officials, really,

159
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:50,880
nearly throwing money at silly things like soccer events.

160
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,820
Well, they're people within their districts are a need of the basics.

161
00:12:57,060 --> 00:13:00,660
This is some remains the same, although the only difference is that it's growing more

162
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:09,900
corrupt and sloppy, while officials have the audacity to become more arrogant as they fail

163
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:13,180
at the basic task of their roles, they play.

164
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,840
We have two tellers with the blowers,

165
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,800
people exposing truths being punished.

166
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,780
Some sit in jail, Andrea Eben,

167
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,480
some have gag orders on them.

168
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,400
Isn't it something the link, the links,

169
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,800
the system will go in order to maintain itself.

170
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Rules and laws for the, but not for me.

171
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,180
That seems to be the motto of our local county government agencies.

172
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:40,360
So I was sitting thinking of what to say,

173
00:13:43,740 --> 00:14:00,080
I was just reminded of how I feel as though I said it all and already I don't mind we to broken record as I said yesterday broken record because I do realize that there are people who are waking up to the illusion and that illusion is this we live in a world where people look up to those who

174
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:10,040
who believe in a left-right paradigm who still believe that there are selected officials that are coming to save them.

175
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:17,520
Yes, I mentioned people who hoard money while children starve, and they are not people to be admired.

176
00:14:18,420 --> 00:14:21,380
They are moral failures of our society.

177
00:14:21,380 --> 00:14:28,980
And just as the selected officials of our county, they too are moral failures that work and promote

178
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:34,500
for the globalists agenda as well, pretending to fix our county's problems instead.

179
00:14:34,780 --> 00:14:36,600
They are pretty good.

180
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,200
Thank you.

181
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Here from the next caller.

182
00:14:46,370 --> 00:14:52,930
My name is Dennis Brown and I'm representing the state of New California represented by Paul

183
00:14:52,930 --> 00:14:54,890
Pressing Governor Pro Tempore.

184
00:14:56,070 --> 00:14:59,170
I dropped off this letter to the Board of Supervisors,

185
00:14:59,330 --> 00:14:59,970
the county written.

186
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,020
The purpose of this notice is to ask for an opportunity to address the entire board and or present a claim,

187
00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:13,480
contesting the certification of any election results. At the next regularly scheduled board meeting,

188
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:21,740
I am also requesting the board direct the register of voters to respond and request for the information below.

189
00:15:21,740 --> 00:15:27,520
I invite Eric tension to the California election code section 1, 6, 1, 0, 0, 0,

190
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:35,220
D, which states in part any elector of a county city or any political subdivision of either

191
00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:42,780
may contest any election held there within, or any of the following causes, D, that illegal

192
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:45,780
votes were cast, and they have been.

193
00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:53,200
The actual basis of my request is that the common knowledge that there has been a flood of illegal aliens in California.

194
00:15:53,980 --> 00:15:56,240
It's counties, it's cities, it's school districts.

195
00:15:57,140 --> 00:16:04,440
Those citizens have apparently been able to register with the Department of Motor Vehicles to vote.

196
00:16:05,340 --> 00:16:11,500
With registration of these non-citizens have been provided with voter registration and election ballots.

197
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:20,920
It is also common knowledge that investigative reporters have discovered that some illegal non-citizens have in fact voted.

198
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:35,760
Providing these non-citizens voter registrations and election ballots gives you the numbers of the water supervisors and register of voters to set aside and deny its certification is a number of illegal voters

199
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,400
as set forth in California election code 1, 6, 1, 0, 0, specifically 7.

200
00:16:43,180 --> 00:16:43,660
Thank you.

201
00:16:43,820 --> 00:16:44,920
We'll hear from the next caller.

202
00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:53,640
Morning.

203
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:55,260
My name is Becky Rapp.

204
00:16:55,380 --> 00:17:01,320
And today, I'd like to raise concerns about moving forward with a socially equitable cannabis program.

205
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,260
At a time when the marijuana industry is already struggling throughout our regions.

206
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:10,560
This recently Jack's cannabis and Ramona closed the stores.

207
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:22,740
The business shutdown in April, reportedly due to taxisote, this means that one of the five existing marijuana storefronts in the unincorporated county is no longer operating.

208
00:17:23,580 --> 00:17:34,420
That closure should be a warning sign. If existing businesses cannot remain financially viable, why is the county considering creating additional permits and expanding the industry?

209
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:40,060
Before launching a new program, we should first evaluate the performance of the businesses

210
00:17:40,060 --> 00:17:41,520
that already exist.

211
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,760
The county has spent years discussing social equity and marijuana expansion, but residents

212
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,240
still have many unanswered questions.

213
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,680
How much public money has been spent developing in administering these programs?

214
00:17:55,420 --> 00:17:58,720
And how many existing operators are actually succeeding?

215
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:08,780
How many tax revenue has actually been generated compared to the cost of regulation, enforcement, administration, and program development?

216
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:19,360
Before moving forward with this program, I urge the county to provide a full accounting of all expenditures related to marijuana regulation and social equity planning.

217
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:29,640
The closure of Jack's cannabis should be viewed as an opportunity to pause, reassess, make decisions based on evidence, rather than assumptions.

218
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:31,020
Thank you.

219
00:18:33,150 --> 00:18:33,610
Thank you.

220
00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:35,530
Well, here from the final call of this morning.

221
00:18:43,060 --> 00:18:46,080
Good morning, Board of Supervisors and Riddles here.

222
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:52,900
I've called in to also express my concern about the county's SECP,

223
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,420
socially at the local cannabis program.

224
00:18:56,180 --> 00:19:01,380
We out here in the county and incorporated area have many questions.

225
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,540
And personally, as a health educator, a retired social worker, when I received this latest

226
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:12,160
invite to attend a webinar on Monday, I worried again.

227
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,000
It was entitled, Health Problems from the Admissions of Canada's Cultivations.

228
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,460
The three presenters are well-known in their fields.

229
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:27,000
The webinar explored the often overlooked public health concern for the release of airborne toxins

230
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:33,100
from cannabis cultivation, and their potential impact on the surrounding communities.

231
00:19:33,620 --> 00:19:40,000
This goes beyond smell, which has also been a great concern with the inner and incorporated areas.

232
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:46,460
As we've had presentations from the county, a Santa Barbara regarding the nuisance suits that they have to handle,

233
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:52,980
because of the horrible smell that cultivation created in their county and those lawsuits

234
00:19:52,980 --> 00:19:53,860
around going.

235
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,940
The three presenters aren't extremely well known within the medical community.

236
00:19:59,780 --> 00:20:06,200
One Dr. Cohen known to me as a certified pediatric hominologist, especially as always been

237
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:12,040
respiratory infectious diseases, particularly as they apply to children and heal BRD

238
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,840
Presenter was our lead presenter.

239
00:20:14,940 --> 00:20:17,960
We have that second presenter,

240
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,960
was a well-known environmental attorney

241
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,020
who supports EPA Clean Air Act rules

242
00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:27,380
and often appears before them.

243
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,940
And he has participated here in California

244
00:20:29,940 --> 00:20:33,400
regarding cannabis cultivation and third,

245
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,920
but not least again, well known here in California,

246
00:20:36,780 --> 00:20:40,780
as a doctorate of biochemistry

247
00:20:40,780 --> 00:20:47,240
whose work has always been in cell, biology, embryo, allogies, and she's particularly concerned.

248
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:53,020
You and Chair Lossler, remember that concludes public comment on the items not listed on the agenda.

249
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,580
Again, any remaining speakers we heard at the conclusion of today's session?

250
00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:59,900
Okay, thank you very much.

251
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,920
The next item on our agenda is approval of the minutes and statements of proceedings for the flood control district.

252
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:08,360
Is that correct, Andrew?

253
00:21:10,380 --> 00:21:30,640
And this is for the meeting of June 9th, and June 10th, the Board of Supervisors budget hearing of June 1st, and the minutes for the concurrent special district meeting, the housing authority of June 10th, the in-home support of services, public authority of January 28th, and June 9th, and the redevelopment of successor agency at April 21st, is there a motion to approve all of these minutes?

254
00:21:31,460 --> 00:21:33,940
Okay, we have a motion from the Vice-Chairs,

255
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:34,560
their second,

256
00:21:36,820 --> 00:21:38,360
and we have a second prom,

257
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:41,520
a Supervisor Desmond, Andrew, please call the vote.

258
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:47,860
Chair Lawson, Raymond, that motion passes unanimously,

259
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:49,760
with all Supervisors being present in 1049.

260
00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:51,540
Okay, great.

261
00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:55,880
We now proceed with the formation of the consent agenda.

262
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:59,200
So this is items 1 through 7, 15 through 17,

263
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:01,380
and in-home supportive services item 2,

264
00:22:01,940 --> 00:22:03,980
all items in the consent agenda are routine,

265
00:22:03,980 --> 00:22:05,840
and we'll be acted upon with one motion.

266
00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:12,960
Individuals can comment on the consent agenda after super-resist pull any items they would like to pull for discussion or make any comments.

267
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,960
Would any of my colleagues like to pull any items for discussion or have comments in any of the items from the other consent agenda?

268
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:20,180
Vice Chair McMurze.

269
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,200
Let me make sure.

270
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,640
I'm nothing to pull and I'm happy to move the consent agenda.

271
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,760
Okay, thank you very much.

272
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,500
We have a motion on the floor from the vice chair.

273
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,680
I'd like to pull item 15.

274
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:40,260
We'll be pulling item 15.

275
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,980
Super is there, Anderson?

276
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:43,860
All right.

277
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:45,740
Okay.

278
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,120
Super is there, doesn't it?

279
00:22:49,340 --> 00:22:50,500
Thank you, Madam Chair.

280
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:53,770
I have a comment on item number four.

281
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,500
I want to register in no vote and item four.

282
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,520
I'd previously voted against this.

283
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,760
This is the creation of the consumer fairness protection unit within county council.

284
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:19,400
The district attorney's office already handles consumer protection cases and if your consumer protection is a priority, we should hire more people in the DA staff, not create a duplicative department, so I'll be registering in no vote item four.

285
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:28,040
Okay. Thank you very much. We have a motion on the floor from the vice chair for the consent agenda item 15 has been pulled.

286
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,560
And Superzer Desmond would like to register a no vote and item 4. I'm happy to second the vice chair's motion. We can now go to public comment.

287
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:46,140
Thank you chair Lawson Remor. Before we go to public comment, I would like to note for the record that agenda item 16 on the general legislative legislative session consent agenda.

288
00:23:46,140 --> 00:23:55,560
And item two on the in-home support of services public authority consent and gender seeks approval of adjustments of the compensation for the Chief Administrative Officer,

289
00:23:56,100 --> 00:24:04,100
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Chief Probation Officer, and the in-home support of services public authority or IHSS Executive Director,

290
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:10,460
pursuant to government code section 5, 4, 9, 5, 3, 3, A prior to taking final action, the legislative

291
00:24:10,460 --> 00:24:14,900
body shall early report the summary of a recommendation for a final action on the salaries,

292
00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:20,520
salary schedules or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits of local agency executives.

293
00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:28,180
The proposed adjustments would set the compensation at hourly rates as follows $277.39 per hour

294
00:24:28,180 --> 00:24:33,560
for the chief administrative officer, $119.23 per hour for the clerk of the board.

295
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:42,860
$144.49 per hour for the chief probation officer in $91 and $13 per hour for the IHSS Executive Director.

296
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,300
Subject to approval, these adjustments would all be effective June 26, 2026.

297
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,700
There were no other changes to the existing fringe benefits and paid leave applicable to these positions with that statement in the record.

298
00:24:56,060 --> 00:24:58,320
These items may remain on consent for approval.

299
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:07,640
But that noted, we do have 15 total requests to speak on items on the consent agenda for individuals in person, 11, 11, requesting to speak by phone.

300
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:11,160
As a reminder, item 15 was pulled from the consent agenda for discussion.

301
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:17,600
So any individual that requests to speak on that item, please hold your comments until the board discusses that item.

302
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,220
We will receive public comment on that item separately.

303
00:25:20,900 --> 00:25:25,760
For the phone callers, this is the time to call in to speak on the remaining items on the consent agenda.

304
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:35,400
Please download the conference line now using the instructions that we're provided to you go ahead and begin with our in-person speakers as your name is called please come forward and stay on on the arrows until it is your turn to speak at the podium

305
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:44,680
You will then have two minutes to address the board if you could please begin by stating your name for the record also when speaking please identify which consent agenda items you are speaking on

306
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,440
like to invite for the first three individuals allegedly. Audra Natalie Rosh

307
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:53,300
Rosh and

308
00:25:54,140 --> 00:25:55,020
Marco Espinoza

309
00:26:00,820 --> 00:26:06,900
First of all, you should not have approved the minutes for the June 1st meeting more terror was not here nor on camera.

310
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:11,700
There was no quorum, you have been sent a curing correct, so I mean whatever.

311
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:19,740
The sheriff absolutely needs to have help with the medical care that's going on in the jails.

312
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:30,460
They're not equipped to deal with it, so they do need to go to an outside entity that would be able to handle the health care needs of certain individuals.

313
00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:37,120
that are in there with the home key program, so I just would like to report that a woman

314
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:44,440
was found to cease today at O'Locked this morning. That brings the deaths to 17 this year.

315
00:26:45,780 --> 00:26:50,560
And, you know, I'm even now like 30 or almost 40, probably the entire time. They've been there.

316
00:26:50,620 --> 00:26:55,380
I'm going to have to get a tally. But when you're talking about putting people into homes

317
00:26:55,380 --> 00:27:00,380
and buying them, they can't even pay the rent. So I mean, I think we need to be kind of working

318
00:27:00,380 --> 00:27:05,660
And that kind of leads to like, you guys are giving yourself raises while people are just trying to make ends meet.

319
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:13,460
I don't think any raises should be taken place, especially when people who are getting such significant amounts of money are the ones

320
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:16,160
to termining the things for people who don't have anything.

321
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:22,760
And like they would never be able to, you know, have any kind of understanding of what that's like.

322
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,080
So all of the programs that you guys do actually don't benefit the people that you claim that they will.

323
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,920
And this behavioral health stuff, it's very concerning, what's going on with behavioral health

324
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,680
because it is being used to silence people, like Andrea, being deemed incompetent.

325
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:42,320
Now she can be put in one of your mental facilities and totally drugged up so that she doesn't

326
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,500
continue to talk about summer stuff and in the crimes that have been perpetrated against her and her children.

327
00:27:47,980 --> 00:27:53,420
So, it's very concerning when it is being used as a weapon and it will continue to be.

328
00:27:53,420 --> 00:27:56,320
And I'm sure you want to use it on Justin as well.

329
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,620
So, when people are trying to get changed to happen because of such a

330
00:28:00,620 --> 00:28:04,040
grieges, things you shouldn't be silencing using your behavioral health unit.

331
00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:06,530
Next speaker,

332
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:14,120
called for Natalie Marko, and we also have Michael Brando.

333
00:28:14,140 --> 00:28:15,500
You may come forward in any order.

334
00:28:24,140 --> 00:28:28,180
I'm speaking to number 16 about the races, and this is in reference to

335
00:28:28,180 --> 00:28:35,240
up a performance evaluation, and through Potter actually had sent a message to

336
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:42,920
Godra saying that yesterday's video file of the meeting yesterday is complete and intact and in

337
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,800
whole on YouTube, it is not.

338
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:51,060
That means that Andrew did not initially review, Audra's request.

339
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:58,220
There were skips, there were glitches, there were stalls, there were speeches that were

340
00:28:58,220 --> 00:29:01,780
completely missing as if those people were not even here.

341
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:11,260
Therefore, I don't think someone who's saying something is OK, and then finding out that

342
00:29:11,260 --> 00:29:15,600
it's actually not based on us doing the work should get a raise.

343
00:29:16,060 --> 00:29:19,400
Also, don't think that the CAO should get a raise either.

344
00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:22,100
We're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.

345
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,620
That seat, the CAO, has been embroiled in controversy.

346
00:29:27,620 --> 00:29:35,860
see. If you remember the lawsuit involving terror loss of rumor, Claudia Silver, Helen Robbins

347
00:29:35,860 --> 00:29:43,880
Meyer, Michael Vu, that these pieces, these ponds up here are put there to uphold a facade

348
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:51,060
and an agenda that is not the agenda for the people here on this local soil. So if anything,

349
00:29:51,060 --> 00:29:52,860
and raises should not be given.

350
00:30:00,140 --> 00:30:10,220
Salary duck reductions are in order. As Audra, which Tara has said that she's a parliamentarian extraordinary there, that's Audra being a parliamentarian extraordinary,

351
00:30:12,570 --> 00:30:14,670
she could do the job of Andrew.

352
00:30:16,490 --> 00:30:22,390
The good thing is Andrew is going to remedy this situation, but it would not have happened if we had not stepped forward.

353
00:30:25,030 --> 00:30:26,030
Thank you.

354
00:30:27,540 --> 00:30:32,540
Thank you. And then last call for Natalie Rask and Marco Espinoza.

355
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,100
Okay, not seeing any movement in chambers.

356
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,200
We will now hear from those that have requested to speak by phone.

357
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,340
When it is your turn to speak, you'll be unmuted.

358
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,800
You will hear recording that will tell you to begin your comments

359
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,820
and we will go ahead and begin with our first caller.

360
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:54,390
All about our raises.

361
00:30:54,790 --> 00:30:57,090
Limit them to 20 bucks an hour.

362
00:30:57,370 --> 00:31:01,330
See how the lowering comes to kitchen workers live.

363
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:08,110
For litigation authority, what concerns me most is that this authorized is the

364
00:31:08,110 --> 00:31:13,490
Catholic Council to pursue a litigation of the appellate chain, which couldn't

365
00:31:13,490 --> 00:31:17,750
involve the county in significant costs and consequences.

366
00:31:18,730 --> 00:31:22,450
It all seems to me that I, the methods wrong and should be deleted.

367
00:31:22,970 --> 00:31:28,650
If the county plays the juvenile and detention are placed by court order, the county should

368
00:31:28,650 --> 00:31:35,730
were responsible for the cost of that placement, but in K, eviction should specify regarding

369
00:31:35,730 --> 00:31:42,730
candy on the property, like item L, and opens the door to unnecessary litigation.

370
00:31:44,010 --> 00:31:52,250
I agree with Jim, you know, you shouldn't open up a new department either.

371
00:31:52,250 --> 00:31:59,450
This is not a dictatorship, and this is whether or not to initiate glitigation effects

372
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:05,150
to the entire county, and ultimately may involve everyone of us in the consequences.

373
00:32:05,770 --> 00:32:10,150
The decision there for needs to be joint decision like a vote.

374
00:32:12,010 --> 00:32:17,370
The board should not be advocating into authority for us who are okay.

375
00:32:17,370 --> 00:32:25,330
3 LBS guidelines. I'm glad that the first guidelines were in voluntary detention under

376
00:32:25,330 --> 00:32:32,710
LBS Act constitutes a significant deprivation of civil liberties, et cetera, et cetera.

377
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:40,150
Um, it doesn't important for many people in government, known as mentioned, realize that

378
00:32:40,150 --> 00:32:46,870
they can't put someone away just because they don't agree with whatever they say.

379
00:32:48,570 --> 00:32:55,750
Which is kind of like the independence party where people have to sign on to whatever of the county.

380
00:32:56,430 --> 00:32:58,710
Thank you, your time is up. We'll go ahead and go to our next speaker.

381
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:11,810
Hello, good morning Board of Supervisors. My name is Madison, and I'm speaking on item 2.

382
00:33:12,530 --> 00:33:15,390
I support this item to pursue home key plus funding.

383
00:33:16,270 --> 00:33:23,150
As a mother of three children and someone who works in use substance use prevention, I see firsthand how closely housing instability,

384
00:33:23,150 --> 00:33:26,350
Mental Health challenges and substance use are connected.

385
00:33:27,270 --> 00:33:31,010
When people are experiencing homelessness, it becomes much harder to access treatment,

386
00:33:31,530 --> 00:33:37,070
maintain recovery, manage mental health conditions, or reconnect with family and community

387
00:33:37,070 --> 00:33:38,090
support systems.

388
00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:42,910
Substantized disorders affects not only the individual, but entire families.

389
00:33:43,950 --> 00:33:48,050
Children may experience trauma, instability, and adverse childhood experiences

390
00:33:48,050 --> 00:33:50,650
that can impact their health and wellbeing for years.

391
00:33:50,650 --> 00:33:55,810
Veterans and individuals living with behavioral health challenges are especially vulnerable

392
00:33:55,810 --> 00:33:57,570
when they lack stable housing.

393
00:33:58,730 --> 00:34:01,290
Permanent support of housing is an important part of the solution.

394
00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:06,830
Recovery and treatment are far more effective when people have a safe place to live and access

395
00:34:06,830 --> 00:34:07,750
supportive services.

396
00:34:08,950 --> 00:34:13,070
Housing provides the stability that allows individuals to focus on improving their health,

397
00:34:13,370 --> 00:34:17,490
seeking employment, rebuilding relationships, and moving toward long-term recovery.

398
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:22,390
I'm especially encouraged that this project will serve people experiencing homelessness

399
00:34:22,390 --> 00:34:25,530
who are living with mental health and substance use challenges.

400
00:34:26,390 --> 00:34:30,050
Our dressing these issues together is more effective than addressing them separately.

401
00:34:31,390 --> 00:34:36,530
This funky funding represents an opportunity to bring additional state resources to San Diego County

402
00:34:36,530 --> 00:34:39,350
while supporting some of our most vulnerable residents.

403
00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:44,770
I encourage you to approve this item and continue investing in evidence-based solutions that come out healthy,

404
00:34:44,770 --> 00:34:47,970
and thriving communities for everyone. Thank you.

405
00:34:48,030 --> 00:34:49,410
Thank you. We'll get our next call.

406
00:35:04,420 --> 00:35:05,620
I'll go over here.

407
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:06,900
Thank you.

408
00:35:09,870 --> 00:35:12,730
Okay, some more raises for the ad of touch.

409
00:35:13,050 --> 00:35:15,810
Sure, calling the shots for the ones barely surviving.

410
00:35:17,470 --> 00:35:20,070
Gosh, it's such a curse being awake and paying attention.

411
00:35:21,270 --> 00:35:24,430
They have to call you all out.

412
00:35:25,410 --> 00:35:27,670
As far as the home key program,

413
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:35,430
I mean, that's going to be funded until it is proven to work, just like the project 25.

414
00:35:36,730 --> 00:35:39,010
Believe that was the name of that program.

415
00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:48,510
Where it was 100% success rate and then it was defunded because it worked.

416
00:35:49,030 --> 00:35:54,050
That was great. Nobody was benefiting from these people

417
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,820
because they were self-sufficient and they were

418
00:36:04,060 --> 00:36:07,220
And they weren't in need of government assistance.

419
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:13,980
So, I mean, all these items was just, you know,

420
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,460
but the one that really makes my blood boils the raises,

421
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:21,860
like seriously, the audacity, the arrogance of you all.

422
00:36:22,340 --> 00:36:26,020
And because nobody's paid attention, that's bottom line, nobody's paid attention.

423
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,580
So, out of touch, wow, imagine if all the new mothers got to bring their babies to work,

424
00:36:31,580 --> 00:36:37,540
Mother's that chose to keep their babies because they weren't pressured by society to kill them.

425
00:36:38,860 --> 00:36:40,300
Yeah, it must be nice, right, Tara?

426
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:45,540
Oh, I think it could be sick. I don't even care if there's a baby on your chest, truly.

427
00:36:46,540 --> 00:36:52,420
So sad. You are the worst of the worst girl when I will say it in front of your kids.

428
00:36:53,260 --> 00:36:53,540
Done.

429
00:37:00,940 --> 00:37:01,500
You're next caller.

430
00:37:23,140 --> 00:37:25,640
The next caller is Terry. Your phone might be muted.

431
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,000
I guess I have to call back.

432
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:36,680
That is correct.

433
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:38,720
Okay.

434
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:39,240
Thank

435
00:37:54,020 --> 00:37:54,520
you.

436
00:37:54,580 --> 00:37:54,900
Good morning.

437
00:37:55,220 --> 00:37:58,940
My name is Becky Raff and I'd like to speak to items number one and three.

438
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:03,860
I support efforts to ensure that individuals experiencing mental health crisis

439
00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:09,160
receive timely high quality care and that LPS does ignore the facilities

440
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,780
that are held to strong standards of accountability.

441
00:38:11,780 --> 00:38:18,340
I do have one concern regarding recommendation number two, which would allow future revisions

442
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:23,480
to these guidelines to be made administratively without returning to the board for public

443
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,140
discussions.

444
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:30,700
As behavioral health policies continue to evolve, transparency and public input remain important,

445
00:38:31,340 --> 00:38:35,680
especially when changes may affect vulnerable individuals and their families.

446
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:41,160
I would also encourage the county to consider a serious issue that is often missing from

447
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,760
conversations about mental health treatment, and that's the role of marijuana use.

448
00:38:46,620 --> 00:38:52,420
Scientific information is released almost daily, linking high-potency marijuana use with

449
00:38:52,420 --> 00:38:58,940
increased risks of psychosis, schizophrenia, depression, suicidal ideation, and psychiatric

450
00:38:58,940 --> 00:39:03,760
hospitalizations, particularly among adolescents and young adults.

451
00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:09,600
Many individuals enter in crisis care today are struggling with substance use and mental

452
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:15,880
health conditions. Yet marijuana is often overlooked as a contributing factor. As the county

453
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:21,420
updates is behavioral health policies and oversight systems, I encourage behavioral health

454
00:39:21,420 --> 00:39:29,480
services to collect and report data on substance use, including marijuana. Better data

455
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:34,400
can help us better understand what is driving mental health crisis in our community and improve

456
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,740
prevention efforts. Thank you.

457
00:39:37,820 --> 00:39:39,400
Thank you. We'll go to our next speaker.

458
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,980
Good morning, Board of Supervisors, and Riddle.

459
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:57,560
I called in to speak to Item 3 and 16, which I realize you called

460
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:06,220
an I-A-O-2, 16 and I-A-O-2 have to do with an increase in salary

461
00:40:06,220 --> 00:40:11,520
and I kind of object to the euphemism of adjustment in compensation.

462
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:19,660
could we just say a raise in salary? I think that would be the optics of using that type of terminology,

463
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:30,420
but just isn't fair to the public. I concerned about three years. One I supported, having had to use this with a family member,

464
00:40:30,780 --> 00:40:42,260
which is the idea behind it is to strengthen the requirements associated with bringing those involuntarily

465
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:44,880
to mental health services.

466
00:40:46,020 --> 00:40:49,200
The face of it is the terminology is scary.

467
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,860
The goal behind it is excellent, however,

468
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,300
and you hear about it all the time from families

469
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:57,120
who have individuals who are psychotic

470
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,040
and definitely incapable of making it

471
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,500
decision for themselves to seek mental health.

472
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,780
And so we need its families to have this opportunity.

473
00:41:06,980 --> 00:41:09,520
I echo the previous speaker's concern

474
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,300
in the case of my family member,

475
00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:19,040
because it was caused by marijuana, and I don't think we're giving cannabis the spotlight

476
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:25,100
it needs regarding what happens to our people in our counties that are using. Both in suicide

477
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:32,540
ideation as well as accomplish suicide rates are higher. And, by cardiac breaks, it's very difficult

478
00:41:32,540 --> 00:41:38,480
to have families to watch that marijuana use create that situation and people to treat marijuana

479
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,540
and you're so privilegedly as it's not.

480
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,040
And I wish we could see more recommendations

481
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,840
recognition within the behavioral health services

482
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:46,820
for its role.

483
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:49,760
And I agree that more data collection needs to happen,

484
00:41:49,780 --> 00:41:53,380
so we can understand its role in the services.

485
00:41:54,300 --> 00:41:56,460
Thank you, your time is up, we'll go to our next caller.

486
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,920
It's truth, item one, Medicaid for criminal transit.

487
00:42:08,980 --> 00:42:11,040
Two taxpayers funding healthcare for criminal.

488
00:42:11,460 --> 00:42:13,240
If only the death penalty was a thing,

489
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:15,060
again, the county could really save money.

490
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:16,860
I didn't see the home key program

491
00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:20,720
is one of the biggest frauds in the state, and Wakeland is one of the biggest profitiers

492
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:21,600
office of the fraud.

493
00:42:22,060 --> 00:42:26,520
Yet another $20 million for the public-private fascist partnership to get rich quick

494
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,180
using the taxpayers' dime.

495
00:42:29,020 --> 00:42:32,520
I didn't bring the county crazies, crown themselves the queens of the crazies in charge

496
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:33,540
of street crazies.

497
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,680
Isn't it crazy how that means the real inmates are actually running DSILEM?

498
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:43,280
And four carriers all about stealing money via frivolous lawsuits using we the people's

499
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:43,660
taxpayers.

500
00:42:43,660 --> 00:42:49,980
For example, she had many floma out there exploiting sushi chefs to extort profits from Japanese

501
00:42:49,980 --> 00:42:54,700
companies, all to justify their occupation of the DAs while refusing to investigate

502
00:42:54,700 --> 00:42:58,480
wonderful keta for labor exploitation and human trafficking.

503
00:42:59,420 --> 00:43:04,740
On a five, online filing is now available for many future unpaid property tax bills, future

504
00:43:04,740 --> 00:43:09,460
because she has a nasty habit of expecting everyone else to pay her debt.

505
00:43:09,460 --> 00:43:15,940
I didn't $1,619 an hour for Andrew to sit there and say, next speaker please, wow,

506
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:20,660
he doesn't answer emails fast, I'll give him that, and $277 an hour for

507
00:43:20,660 --> 00:43:25,520
Ebony to sit there and smile while the county burns down in debt and corruption, note

508
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:26,120
all raises.

509
00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:31,520
I'm 17, the county and the city of Escindito have obviously decided East Valley Parkway

510
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:36,200
is now a stack impact dumping ground to a benefit of the San Diego community housing corporation

511
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,540
and the National Committee renaissance of California.

512
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,740
The housing court is owned by the Tendick or Housing Commission Monica's old buddy.

513
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:48,120
They don't need a bailout as they have $25 million in assets and $5.3 million in revenues.

514
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,140
Their CEO field or Miyajara makes $323,000 a year.

515
00:43:53,580 --> 00:43:58,260
National court is over 10,000 apartments, a hundred and ten properties and $1.3 billion in assets.

516
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,460
They don't need our help either.

517
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,780
Their CEO's CEO's CEO is zero-experience in housing using overpaying

518
00:44:02,780 --> 00:44:07,420
open new funds for the institute that works on viruses, note all grits approved by psychotic

519
00:44:07,420 --> 00:44:07,960
grister.

520
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:10,280
Thank you.

521
00:44:10,460 --> 00:44:10,940
Your time is up.

522
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,140
We'll go to our next speaker.

523
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,840
Matt, what a racket you guys got going on.

524
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,760
It sounds like a racket.

525
00:44:27,460 --> 00:44:30,500
I want to comment on one, two, seven.

526
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,960
Anybody associated with any of these programs, we need to check their legal status, the

527
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,360
people that work there and the people that are given money to.

528
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,280
No money to illegal and no,

529
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,940
you guys would give money or help a camel too.

530
00:44:46,260 --> 00:44:50,180
You have illegal guys getting some kind of benefit or money.

531
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,420
The guys would give them that money to have

532
00:44:52,420 --> 00:44:54,300
got to be held accountable too.

533
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,120
And so I'm just being in the dark about it.

534
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:58,340
And then the last button.

535
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,860
Yesterday, they had that automation about the immigrant thing. Why don't you put legal immigrant in front of it?

536
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:17,260
With having these immigrants that are illegal, the immigrants that are legit, they're not legitimate immigrants they can't hear elderly.

537
00:45:18,660 --> 00:45:29,180
And so, you guys were modding that stuff, just because you're sitting in San Diego town doesn't mean you're an American citizen or deserve the benefits.

538
00:45:29,180 --> 00:45:37,320
So you've got to have some integrity and then about the only one thing you should be doing

539
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:44,320
now is focusing on the sewer plant down at Tijuana while all those are in our side,

540
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:50,420
all the people are breathing that air, all the Mexican kids, the poor kids, the white poor

541
00:45:50,420 --> 00:45:56,860
kids down there, they're sucking the sewer gas every day, it's unavoidable and you guys

542
00:45:56,860 --> 00:46:05,740
know intention of where's the plan for the where's the plan for the sewer plant. Where is it?

543
00:46:05,740 --> 00:46:10,620
You guys got one drawn up? Yeah, it starts with a plan. You got to get the plan and then you got to start

544
00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:17,580
getting the money or just doing it. Out of the Mexicans down there build a thing. We're just unacceptable

545
00:46:17,580 --> 00:46:23,560
met on fire's road the other day that's open up the sewer line down and make the hookups. I

546
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:29,000
So that's up on my bike, thank you, your time is up, we'll go to our next speaker.

547
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:43,340
Let's see, number one, this medical treatment should be restricted only to immediate care,

548
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:46,400
not for elected treatment such as anything, trams.

549
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:47,860
Home key is a fraud.

550
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:54,620
Number three, beware everybody and look at the people on this board, the buck stops with them,

551
00:46:54,700 --> 00:46:59,480
overseen the San Diego County Psychiatric Institution and Mental Health Treatment of People

552
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:16,260
living in this county. Parents be familiar with state law 8665, a minor who is 12 years of age or older may consent, may consent without your awareness to mental health treatment counseling as an outpatient or in a residential facility without an exit clause.

553
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:26,080
Number 16, no salary adjustments. Don't know how anyone works for the county and good conscience. Oh yeah, money and benefits not for the public good.

554
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:32,300
In 2017, nope, affordable housing is a lie, let me just define what AI says.

555
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:37,140
A ghetto is a section of a city where minority group lives usually do a social legal or

556
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:38,160
economic pressure.

557
00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:45,060
The term originate in the 1500s, believe it or not, in to describe a segregated area for

558
00:47:45,060 --> 00:47:50,600
Jewish people in Venice, Italy, but it has evolved over time to encompass several distinct

559
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,520
historical and modern meanings.

560
00:47:52,520 --> 00:48:02,240
In contemporary usage, ghetto often describes impoverished inner city neighborhoods primarily inhabited by racial and ethnic minority, particularly in the United States.

561
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,200
So there's your stack and tax of affordable housing.

562
00:48:09,180 --> 00:48:09,520
Thank you.

563
00:48:09,580 --> 00:48:10,580
I'll go to our next speaker.

564
00:48:23,870 --> 00:48:26,430
Supervisors, John Bernie, we had lived experience advisors.

565
00:48:27,450 --> 00:48:33,590
I am calling to speak on the items related to housing and behavioral health and jails.

566
00:48:35,250 --> 00:48:37,450
I am always well as the salary issues.

567
00:48:37,450 --> 00:48:45,090
I am concerned to see the salaries not listed in dollars in sense in clear annual term,

568
00:48:45,350 --> 00:48:50,090
so that it really people understand the sheer numbers that we're talking about here,

569
00:48:50,570 --> 00:48:55,950
but all of these salaries are well over $100,000 here, some in the multitudes of that.

570
00:48:56,770 --> 00:49:01,910
I would echo that this is very concerning, given where we're headed as in our economy.

571
00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:10,530
Now, as to behavioral health and jails, as you know, the New Good Day Center is formally

572
00:49:10,530 --> 00:49:15,870
going to be closed by the City of San Diego as of December of this year.

573
00:49:16,350 --> 00:49:23,290
I'm asking the county take over this facility for public health and behavioral health reasons.

574
00:49:23,290 --> 00:49:36,750
This facility offers the only $9.10 tall male bathroom facility with sinks in all of downtown for people experiencing homelessness.

575
00:49:37,630 --> 00:49:43,250
It is a loss of more than half of the entire public bathroom offerings in downtown.

576
00:49:43,250 --> 00:49:46,910
And as you know, we've had multiple public health outbreaks.

577
00:49:47,670 --> 00:49:54,170
It is also responsible for providing laundry, as well as a place to wash your personal items,

578
00:49:54,290 --> 00:49:59,050
and most critically, it is the only place that any homeless individual could go during

579
00:49:59,050 --> 00:50:03,790
the day time and be unmelested by police or anyone else.

580
00:50:04,270 --> 00:50:08,390
This is a safe space for women who are cannot sleep during the day.

581
00:50:08,390 --> 00:50:16,790
We offer to operate the facility at expanded hours, 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for $900,000 a year.

582
00:50:17,090 --> 00:50:19,750
That's got to be the best investment you could make today.

583
00:50:23,990 --> 00:50:24,850
Thank you.

584
00:50:26,910 --> 00:50:30,990
Chair Lawson, remember that concludes public comment on the items on the consent agenda.

585
00:50:32,310 --> 00:50:33,730
Okay, thank you very much.

586
00:50:34,550 --> 00:50:36,430
We have a motion on the floor by Subrismun.

587
00:50:36,450 --> 00:50:37,990
Can we step a second by myself?

588
00:50:37,990 --> 00:50:40,030
I suppose a Gary has some comments.

589
00:50:40,350 --> 00:50:43,010
Yeah, just a quick comment on a project, Home Key.

590
00:50:43,150 --> 00:50:46,010
I just want to thank Wakland Housing and the City of Chilovista

591
00:50:46,010 --> 00:50:47,790
for their partnership on this grant application,

592
00:50:48,070 --> 00:50:49,050
even though it's still pending.

593
00:50:49,530 --> 00:50:53,550
It's going to bring significant amount of units to district one

594
00:50:53,550 --> 00:50:56,070
that continues to seek critical need for affordable housing.

595
00:50:56,670 --> 00:50:57,090
Thank you.

596
00:50:57,250 --> 00:50:58,130
Thank you very much.

597
00:50:59,270 --> 00:51:00,490
We have a motion of phone a second,

598
00:51:00,530 --> 00:51:03,230
a reminder that item 15 has been pulled.

599
00:51:04,370 --> 00:51:07,450
And the supervisor doesn't deserve to sort of a noble item four.

600
00:51:07,450 --> 00:51:08,990
Please go ahead and vote.

601
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:19,060
And Chair Loster Nuremberg, that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors of being present voting aye and again voting for the record supervisor

602
00:51:19,060 --> 00:51:22,180
Desmond voted no on item four.

603
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:24,160
Okay.

604
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:32,900
We will now begin with our most central item for today of which is our budget.

605
00:51:32,900 --> 00:51:41,940
And this is items eight, nine, F-L-1, I-H-S-S-1, R-S-A-1, F-P-1, and S-A-1.

606
00:51:42,380 --> 00:51:46,940
These are all our budget adoption discussion items, which will be held concurrently.

607
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:56,240
These are all four-boot items, and we have county team presentation that we will hear first.

608
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:02,120
Then we will take a moment if there's any particular questions on the presentation, then we'll

609
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,640
public comment, and then we'll have an opportunity for board discussion.

610
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:09,800
So please, John, thank you for going ahead, Andrew.

611
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,880
Thank you, Chair Loster, you're my members of the Board.

district for your deliberation and adoption of the operational plan.

616
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,620
These items will be heard concurrently acted on one motion should you desire to do so.

617
00:52:31,620 --> 00:52:36,620
On May 18th, 2026, the Chief Administrative Officers recommended operational plan for fiscal

618
00:52:36,620 --> 00:52:39,300
years 2026 through 28 was released.

620
00:52:44,180 --> 00:52:46,580
the opportunity to provide oral and written testimony.

online.

624
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:59,300
Today's actions request that the board consider the change letter and ultimately approve the

625
00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:03,600
solutions adopting the budget for the county of San Diego, county service areas, community

629
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:17,500
Chief Financial Officer, Joan Pratchee.

630
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,960
Thank you. Good morning, Chair last remember and members of the board. Today we are presenting

631
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:28,140
the fiscal year 2627 revised Chief Administrative Officers recommended operational plan for the

632
00:53:28,140 --> 00:53:33,660
to consider. Last month, we presented to you the CAO recommended operational plan which reflects

633
00:53:33,660 --> 00:53:38,240
the enormous efforts through the organization to deliver a budget that is balanced

634
00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:43,400
and physically sound, supporting services for the public that residents can rely on today

635
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:49,340
and into the future, advancing county priorities, reflecting community voices and evolving needs.

636
00:53:50,260 --> 00:53:55,160
The budget is driven by our values including critical safety net services as well as behavioral

637
00:53:55,160 --> 00:54:00,520
health and public health support. It makes our region a better place to live, work, and play,

638
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:06,240
with major investments in public safety and fire protection, roads, parks, and libraries.

639
00:54:06,940 --> 00:54:10,660
The budget support sustainability through open space and agricultural protection,

640
00:54:11,260 --> 00:54:15,100
new collaboration to identify long-term solutions in the Tijuana River Valley,

641
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,440
and green building practices. This budget aims to preserve important resources for generations

642
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:25,580
to come on all fronts, while preparing for an uncertain and dynamic environment in the upcoming

643
00:54:25,580 --> 00:54:26,560
fiscal year.

644
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,900
Since the release of the recommended budget, staff have developed some revised budget recommendations

645
00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:37,420
through the CAO's Change Letter, which was released last week at the close of the budget hearing

646
00:54:37,420 --> 00:54:37,980
period.

647
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:43,900
We'll briefly cover those changes today, which are based on information received by departments

648
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:48,880
since the release of the recommended budget and what we heard during the public hearing period.

649
00:54:50,500 --> 00:54:58,880
Together, the recommended operational plan and the subsequent change letter culminate into the revised recommended operational plan presented to you today.

650
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:08,340
This plan, which includes the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, represents a coordinated effort across the entire organization, 20,000 workers strong.

651
00:55:08,340 --> 00:55:15,520
As we recalibrate and align staff and resources to navigate changing state and federal requirements and funding and leverage

652
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,440
county resources in innovative ways while maintaining essential support.

653
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:25,540
It reflects a detailed look at available funding sources both locally and at the federal and state level.

654
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:33,780
And to ensure the county is maximizing resources, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the county employees who pursue and administer

655
00:55:33,780 --> 00:55:39,880
the myriad funding sources available to the county, maximizing revenue for our region, helping

656
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:45,400
to steward public resources, and keep services running. This budget is the product of the

657
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:50,320
ongoing planning that happens throughout our organization all year. From the county's capital

658
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,740
planning, which looks at county facility needs over the long term, and is annually presented

659
00:55:54,740 --> 00:55:59,280
for the board's consideration and open session, this amount will fluctuate from year to year,

660
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,620
and is based on our annual long-term capital planning process.

661
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,840
This year's budget includes funding for a new behavioral health

662
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:09,780
wellness campus, a sheriff station in Ramona, planning and design

663
00:56:09,780 --> 00:56:12,440
funding for replacement of the sheriff's detention facility in

664
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,180
Vista, and important maintenance of our facilities.

665
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,560
This budget aims to provide programs and services that make meaningful

666
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,380
differences for our residents in every corner of this county.

667
00:56:23,020 --> 00:56:26,800
With this in mind, we navigated changing economic conditions and evolving

668
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:32,700
community needs in partnership with this board, departments, labor partners, and stakeholders.

669
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:38,000
That collaboration and vision for meeting future needs strengthened this plan and the

670
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,420
outcomes it supports ensuring we maintain the hallmarks of county, fiscal stewardship

671
00:56:42,420 --> 00:56:48,680
with ongoing structural balance, stability, and flexibility as recognized in the county's

672
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:49,720
strong credit ratings.

673
00:56:50,660 --> 00:56:54,220
The budget before the board is balanced and it is reflective of the financial management

674
00:56:54,220 --> 00:56:57,000
practices that define how we plan as an organization.

675
00:56:57,900 --> 00:57:01,860
We don't operate at a deficit, meaning we don't plan to spend more than what we have.

676
00:57:02,460 --> 00:57:07,480
A balanced budget and healthy reserves reflect the strong management and policies that sets

677
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,740
the foundation for the county's fiscal health.

678
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:14,300
Separate apart from the reserves, the board has set aside general fund balance, specifically

679
00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:19,980
to provide a buffer in a changing policy landscape that amount of fund balance recall

680
00:57:19,980 --> 00:57:26,160
and lock reserves, providing time to respond and to recalibrate to steadily manage the services

681
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:31,260
our communities rely on and to manage the county's long-term ongoing cost structure.

682
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:37,040
I want to thank each of our supervisors and our governing board as a collective for your leadership

683
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,040
and serving the residents of this region.

684
00:57:39,660 --> 00:57:44,440
I want to thank members of the public, our communities for their thoughtful input and collaboration

685
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:45,660
all year long.

686
00:57:45,660 --> 00:57:57,960
Today's presentation will briefly review the revised CAO budget recommendations and highlight considerations that are top of mind as we enter into fiscal year 2627 and plan for the years beyond.

687
00:57:58,660 --> 00:58:01,820
I'll now turn things over to Amy Thompson, deputy chief financial officer.

688
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:09,400
Thank you, Joan. Today we're presenting the revised recommended budget, which reflects updates through the CAO change letter.

689
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:25,240
The revised recommended budget now totals $9.16 billion and increase of $3.8 million from the CAO recommended budget and adds one staff year for a total of 20,390 staff plan to serve our communities.

690
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:33,500
This budget maintains essential services and reflects what we heard throughout the year from residents, partners, employees and the sport.

691
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:38,540
It is values driven, community informed and focused on delivering real results.

692
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:45,160
The change letter makes small adjustments to the CAO recommended operational plan by proposing

693
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:51,220
in the sheriff's office additional funding and one more position for increased law enforcement services

694
00:58:51,220 --> 00:58:56,580
and grant funded services to help re-entry success of justice involved adults.

695
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:05,620
And land use and environment added funding for road improvements and updated wastewater utility charges in the Department of Public Works.

696
00:59:05,620 --> 00:59:12,340
To continue transitioning behavioral health services, we plan to shift staff and associated

697
00:59:12,340 --> 00:59:17,880
costs from the Health and Human Services Agency to behavioral health services and human

698
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:22,020
resources, re-aligning functions without adding net positions.

699
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:27,700
The majority of transfers were included in the CAO-recommended operational plan and the

700
00:59:27,700 --> 00:59:32,540
subsequent action reflects further work on the transition that continued into May.

701
00:59:32,540 --> 00:59:45,640
And lastly, funding is proposed to extend the Moss Fresco Plus Program, increasing access to fresh fruit and vegetables, and to fund a feasibility study for a Department of Youth Development.

702
00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:55,850
This slide summarizes the total revised recommended budget compared to prior adopted budgets, including the changes that were just described.

703
00:59:55,850 --> 00:59:59,970
For a fiscal year 20627, the CAO's revised.

704
01:00:00,690 --> 01:00:10,910
Overall, growth reflects focused investments in behavioral health, public safety, safety net programs, infrastructure, and support for the county's workforce.

705
01:00:11,770 --> 01:00:19,330
This slide shows the budget reflecting behavioral health services separate from the health and human services agency based on recent reorganization.

706
01:00:19,330 --> 01:00:24,170
The revised recommended budget was shaped by engagement with stakeholders and

707
01:00:24,170 --> 01:00:28,370
the county's priorities amidst the environment of changing economic conditions,

708
01:00:29,090 --> 01:00:32,050
changing service demands, and organizational transformation.

709
01:00:33,070 --> 01:00:37,550
To get here, we've looked closely at emerging needs, evaluating what's working,

710
01:00:37,930 --> 01:00:41,610
and recalibrating budget strategies to best serve our region.

711
01:00:42,510 --> 01:00:46,490
This year's budget, before the board reflects those efforts and represents a balanced

712
01:00:46,490 --> 01:00:51,430
approach that maintains services while supporting needs that matter most to communities.

713
01:00:53,550 --> 01:01:00,070
As mentioned, the revised recommended budget supports 20,390 staff and increase of

714
01:01:00,070 --> 01:01:06,710
100 in 9 positions or about half a percent from the current year's adopted budget. The revised

715
01:01:06,710 --> 01:01:12,310
recommended budget increases by one staff year to support law enforcement services requested

716
01:01:12,310 --> 01:01:13,950
by the city of Vista.

717
01:01:15,350 --> 01:01:18,390
Overall, this modest growth is targeted and strategic,

718
01:01:19,150 --> 01:01:21,750
leveraging centralization and reorganization efforts

719
01:01:21,750 --> 01:01:24,970
to reduce the application and to maximize efficiency,

720
01:01:25,710 --> 01:01:28,870
allowing the county to focus and appropriate level of staff

721
01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:31,350
where they're needed the most to address expanding

722
01:01:31,350 --> 01:01:33,150
or changing county responsibilities.

723
01:01:34,170 --> 01:01:36,730
The additions primarily support areas of growth,

724
01:01:36,930 --> 01:01:39,930
including safety net services, consumer protection,

725
01:01:39,930 --> 01:01:43,390
and the county's responsibilities under Proposition 36.

726
01:01:44,410 --> 01:01:49,230
These increases were carefully balanced with reductions achieved through vacant positions

727
01:01:49,230 --> 01:01:50,370
and through attrition.

728
01:01:51,730 --> 01:01:56,590
As in the prior slide, the slide displays behavioral health services separately and reflects

729
01:01:56,590 --> 01:02:02,030
realignment from county-wide centralization efforts included in the CAO-recommended operational

730
01:02:02,030 --> 01:02:04,330
plan to improve efficiencies.

731
01:02:04,330 --> 01:02:14,530
This view shows the distribution of staff across all county areas and how we're positioning the workforce to me operational needs in the coming year.

732
01:02:15,350 --> 01:02:24,150
Much of the work of county staff is evolving and response to changing state and federal requirements and funding, significantly for critical safety net programs.

733
01:02:25,630 --> 01:02:33,550
As the board considers budget adoption, it's important to remember that a significant portion of county funding comes from the state and the feds.

734
01:02:33,550 --> 01:02:40,110
Decisions and policy changes made at those levels directly affect county resources and are associated duties.

735
01:02:41,030 --> 01:02:45,610
The State of California is currently finalizing its fiscal year 2627 budget.

736
01:02:46,170 --> 01:02:50,890
Throughout this process, we continue to advocate for sustainable funding for key community

737
01:02:50,890 --> 01:02:56,570
supports including funding to implement the federal changes under HR1 and new state requirements

738
01:02:56,570 --> 01:02:58,030
of Proposition 36.

739
01:02:58,030 --> 01:03:04,290
We also continue to advocate for funding to address homelessness, mobile crisis response teams,

740
01:03:04,650 --> 01:03:10,390
in-home support of services or IHSS, and to tackle the Tukwana River Valley pollution crisis.

741
01:03:11,030 --> 01:03:15,130
The state has a challenging economic outlook that we're committed to ensuring the county's

742
01:03:15,130 --> 01:03:15,870
voice is heard.

743
01:03:17,310 --> 01:03:21,670
At the federal level, budget development continues towards a new federal fiscal year beginning

744
01:03:21,670 --> 01:03:23,050
October 1st.

745
01:03:23,250 --> 01:03:27,510
Given the upcoming midterm elections and the current dynamics in Washington, there are some

746
01:03:27,510 --> 01:03:30,110
like we hood of another federal government shutdown.

747
01:03:30,630 --> 01:03:34,770
If necessary legislation isn't approved by September 30th,

748
01:03:35,170 --> 01:03:37,830
we continuously monitor developments in Sacramento,

749
01:03:38,090 --> 01:03:40,470
and Washington DC, and work closely with you

750
01:03:40,470 --> 01:03:43,210
so that significant policy changes are considered

751
01:03:43,210 --> 01:03:45,890
and built into development of the county budget

752
01:03:45,890 --> 01:03:49,050
throughout robust long-term financial planning process.

753
01:03:50,130 --> 01:03:53,150
This includes anticipating and planning for capital projects,

754
01:03:53,750 --> 01:03:55,370
including the board's annual approval

755
01:03:55,370 --> 01:04:00,170
of the capital improvement needs assessment or seen a looking at essential needs.

756
01:04:01,370 --> 01:04:06,310
The county's fiscal stewardship and ongoing planning positions the county to take on new challenges

757
01:04:06,310 --> 01:04:11,250
ensuring funds are available to help in emergencies while maintaining our core duties.

758
01:04:12,390 --> 01:04:16,710
Local economic conditions are always changing, requiring constant management and updating

759
01:04:16,710 --> 01:04:18,950
the financial planning and decision-making.

760
01:04:19,510 --> 01:04:24,450
This annual recalibration and response to these important considerations forms the basis

761
01:04:24,450 --> 01:04:25,930
of our work on the budget.

762
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,740
And of course, also significant is the feedback we hear from the community.

763
01:04:32,060 --> 01:04:35,280
Resonance share feedback year-round, and we use it to shape budget priorities.

764
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,980
During the budget development process, we reach residents in the ways they told us

765
01:04:39,980 --> 01:04:45,420
works best for them through digital tools on engage San Diego County, pop-ups, that live well

766
01:04:45,420 --> 01:04:48,740
centers, focus groups, community meetings, and public hearings.

767
01:04:49,340 --> 01:04:53,640
For the first time we partnered with community-based organizations to lead focus groups

768
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,280
and all eight threshold languages bringing

769
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,380
and voices historically underrepresented

770
01:04:58,380 --> 01:04:59,840
in county processes.

771
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,000
Clear accessible communications supported

772
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,300
all engagement efforts, including the

773
01:05:05,300 --> 01:05:07,620
Budget website and County News Center,

774
01:05:07,980 --> 01:05:10,220
Insight Social Media, email, and more.

775
01:05:10,580 --> 01:05:12,580
Ensuring residents have the necessary information

776
01:05:12,580 --> 01:05:14,380
to participate meaningfully.

777
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,040
More than 2,400 participants provided more

778
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,620
than 2,200 pieces of feedback on this budget,

779
01:05:20,620 --> 01:05:23,840
High-lating, a range of community priorities, service needs,

780
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,420
preferred investments, and communication and engagement preferences.

781
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:33,580
A copy of Commons on the Budget from community members has been shared with the Board for budget deliberations.

782
01:05:35,260 --> 01:05:41,220
Today's item asks the Board to take several actions that finalize the fiscal year 2627 budget.

783
01:05:41,620 --> 01:05:45,700
We're asking the Board to approve the CAO's operational plan change letter,

784
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:49,480
and adopt the fiscal year 2627 budget resolutions.

785
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:55,860
We're also asking the Board to authorize the carry forward of prior year in conferences, which ensures

786
01:05:55,860 --> 01:05:59,280
funding remains in place for commitments that are still in progress.

787
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:05,500
And finally, we request adoption of a reimbursement resolution, which will allow the county to reimburse

788
01:06:05,500 --> 01:06:08,120
eligible costs with future bond proceeds.

789
01:06:09,020 --> 01:06:14,740
Together, these actions complete the Board's budget adoption process, ensuring that the county has the authority

790
01:06:14,740 --> 01:06:20,200
and flexibility needed to continue delivering critical services and support for the community

791
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:25,140
in the year ahead. Moving towards the vision of a just sustainable and resilient future for

792
01:06:25,140 --> 01:06:27,160
all. I'll turn it back over to Joan.

793
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:32,400
Okay, thank you, Amy. The county team has taken a thoughtful, collaborative approach working with

794
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:38,380
the community and other stakeholders to prioritize critical services. Streamline operations and

795
01:06:38,380 --> 01:06:43,340
proposed solutions that are responsive to the needs of our region today. While ensuring financial

796
01:06:43,340 --> 01:06:45,720
stability and flexibility for the road ahead.

797
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:51,400
This budget is the product of the hardworking members of the county team, including the program

798
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,520
groups and the leadership of the general managers.

799
01:06:54,220 --> 01:06:57,680
Department heads in the many experts across our departments who have generously shared their

800
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:02,080
knowledge of the services we provide, and innovative ways to deliver them more effectively,

801
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:07,660
including our mighty deputy CFOs and finance directors, department finance staff, and the office

802
01:07:07,660 --> 01:07:08,500
of financial planning.

803
01:07:09,340 --> 01:07:12,920
We are also grateful for the partnership of elected officials who lead a dedicated workforce,

804
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:17,860
including the assessor Recorder County Clerk, District Attorney, Sheriff, and

805
01:07:17,860 --> 01:07:19,060
Treasure Tax Collector.

806
01:07:20,060 --> 01:07:24,200
And at the heart of all, we value the many community members, the people we serve, who

807
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:25,760
make time to share their voices.

808
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,980
Engagement throughout the year matters, and it is reflected in what is before the board

809
01:07:29,980 --> 01:07:30,480
today.

810
01:07:30,820 --> 01:07:34,780
We remain committed to working together to meet today's needs and build a stronger future

811
01:07:34,780 --> 01:07:35,660
for this region.

812
01:07:36,500 --> 01:07:37,440
Subject to your questions.

813
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:38,940
This concludes this death presentation.

814
01:07:41,750 --> 01:07:46,010
Thank you so much. Any quick questions from my colleagues before we go to public comment?

815
01:07:47,430 --> 01:07:49,690
Okay. Let's go to public comment. Thank you.

816
01:07:49,930 --> 01:07:56,630
Thank you, Chair, Lawson, remember we have 56 requests to speak on these items. 43 in person and 13 requesting to speak by phone.

817
01:07:56,970 --> 01:08:02,630
Also, note for the record that we received 40 e-commence, 36 in support, 2 in opposition and 1 neutral.

818
01:08:03,030 --> 01:08:07,510
For the individuals that requested to speak on the operational plan items, that, again, those

819
01:08:07,510 --> 01:08:12,090
items, eight and nine in the special district items, by phone, please dial in the conference

820
01:08:12,090 --> 01:08:14,770
line using the instructions that were provided to you.

821
01:08:15,030 --> 01:08:16,230
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

822
01:08:16,510 --> 01:08:19,430
As your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your

823
01:08:19,430 --> 01:08:22,630
turn to speak at the podium, because there are ten and more speakers on the side of me.

824
01:08:22,630 --> 01:08:24,330
I'll 1 minute to address the board.

825
01:08:24,790 --> 01:08:27,730
In the last schedule, please begin by stating your name for the audio record.

826
01:08:28,510 --> 01:08:32,410
I'll be calling you in groups of three, so I'll ask you to please listen for your name.

827
01:08:32,410 --> 01:08:39,090
Like to invite for the first three individuals, Nicole Lily, Lilliana, and Luis Guera,

828
01:08:39,410 --> 01:08:40,670
if I have caught your name, please come forward.

829
01:08:54,970 --> 01:08:57,550
Luis Guera, good morning supervisors.

830
01:08:57,890 --> 01:09:02,570
My name is Luis Guera, a district one resident representing the Immigrant Defenders Law Center.

831
01:09:03,210 --> 01:09:09,810
I'm here to urge you to approve the 13.2 million needed to fully fund the Immigrant Legal Defense Program.

832
01:09:10,310 --> 01:09:15,450
As one of the largest Immigrant Legal Service providers in California, we've seen the man search.

833
01:09:15,450 --> 01:09:21,810
In the past year alone, we received over 3500 calls, but could only represent 300 individuals.

834
01:09:22,630 --> 01:09:26,910
The need for exceeds our capacity. The legal support we provide is a lifeline.

835
01:09:27,450 --> 01:09:32,510
Our immigration system is complex and often on just what limited access to due process.

836
01:09:33,390 --> 01:09:37,930
No one should be separated from their family simply because they lack legal representation.

837
01:09:39,050 --> 01:09:44,250
ILVP ensures people have a fair chance to be heard, protected, and remain with their loved ones.

838
01:09:44,250 --> 01:09:48,350
We respectfully urge you to advance invest in ILVP. Thank you.

839
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:51,220
Thank you.

840
01:09:51,480 --> 01:09:52,140
Next speaker, please.

841
01:09:53,940 --> 01:09:55,580
I'll go ahead and call additional speakers.

842
01:09:56,260 --> 01:09:59,400
NIO, like Castillo Center, sent to ourio.

843
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:00,400
Patricia Mondragon.

844
01:10:01,060 --> 01:10:02,640
A Sue's 19-Gay goes monos.

845
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:04,300
I've caught your name. Please come forward.

846
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,480
Hello. Sorry. My name is Nicole Lillie.

847
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:15,740
I'm the Executive Director of our Time to Act.

848
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,020
We are a youth-led 501C-3-NOMP profit,

849
01:10:18,020 --> 01:10:22,180
organizing powerful youth for an inclusive equitable and sustainable future.

850
01:10:22,700 --> 01:10:27,440
I'm here today to urge this county to wire chase people in this budget and follow the recommendations

851
01:10:27,440 --> 01:10:34,440
of the community budget alliance. We are in a very difficult time in San Diego and across the country,

852
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:41,140
people are being abandoned, our basic needs are not being met and it is more critical in this

853
01:10:41,140 --> 01:10:47,220
budget cycle and in our local governments that are county and city show up for our people and make

854
01:10:47,220 --> 01:10:54,600
that we close the gaps in health care and in housing and in all of the services that are so essential to everyone's daily lives.

855
01:10:55,360 --> 01:11:03,500
So I strongly urge this body to adopt the recommendations of the community budget alliance and also support

856
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:11,100
the partnership for the Advancement of New Americans asks as well. Thank you so much for your time.

857
01:11:11,100 --> 01:11:12,100
Thank you.

858
01:11:13,220 --> 01:11:13,980
Next speaker, please.

859
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:16,800
Good morning.

860
01:11:17,580 --> 01:11:21,900
My name is Nayeli Castillo Santuario, and I'm an office assistant at the Mighty Metro Family

861
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:27,160
Resource Center here in downtown, which is sister offices with the Center City on 12th and

862
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:27,480
Imperial.

863
01:11:28,140 --> 01:11:33,160
The new 100 humans are versus specialists will greatly help our operations, but we also need

864
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:34,200
more office assistance.

865
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:40,020
In May of this year, we received over 800 walk-in applications, but we only had between two

866
01:11:40,020 --> 01:11:43,360
nine office assistance available at any time to register those applications.

867
01:11:44,060 --> 01:11:48,280
The walk-in applications combined with the online applications totaled over 3,200 with

868
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:52,360
over 2,300 of those passing the initial screening and being referred for scheduling.

869
01:11:52,900 --> 01:11:53,860
This is not a typical.

870
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:58,220
We receive thousands of applications each month, but we only have between 20 and 30 intake

871
01:11:58,220 --> 01:12:00,840
workers consistently available to conduct interviews.

872
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:07,020
Having adequate staffing would reduce the stressful workloads of our OAS and HSSs, which

873
01:12:07,020 --> 01:12:08,840
to reduce the number of errors being made,

874
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:10,380
which would reduce the extended wait times

875
01:12:10,380 --> 01:12:11,680
that some customers experience.

876
01:12:11,940 --> 01:12:13,120
Please help us help our community.

877
01:12:13,420 --> 01:12:14,340
Thank you.

878
01:12:15,700 --> 01:12:17,620
Thank you, I'll go ahead and call three additional speakers.

879
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:18,920
Again, if I call you name, please,

880
01:12:19,100 --> 01:12:20,380
come forward and line up on the arrows.

881
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,020
Vanessa Melendrez, as me, Conterio Kubion,

882
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:25,600
Grady O'Brien.

883
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,860
How do supervisors, my name's Edsman,

884
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,300
I'm a resident of D4.

885
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:44,560
I'm an organizer for SC Pride,

886
01:12:44,900 --> 01:12:47,820
and a member of the LGBTQI plus regional table

887
01:12:47,820 --> 01:12:49,460
and the community budget alliance,

888
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,360
and speaking in support of the adoption of the county budget,

889
01:12:52,700 --> 01:12:54,460
that fills the gap of our federal government

890
01:12:54,460 --> 01:12:55,440
because left us.

891
01:12:55,940 --> 01:12:57,960
That specifically means supporting the inclusion

892
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,820
of the UID, the ILDP and the evictions

893
01:13:00,820 --> 01:13:01,840
diversion program.

894
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,720
And the most recent U.S. trans survey,

895
01:13:05,220 --> 01:13:08,480
18% of trans people were identified to be unemployed,

896
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:13,080
with close to 70% experiencing some form of job discrimination.

897
01:13:14,100 --> 01:13:16,100
With that in mind, please fund the services

898
01:13:16,100 --> 01:13:21,260
that help not only prevent our eviction but also maintain a sense of economic justice with

899
01:13:21,260 --> 01:13:26,260
trans people in mind. I would also like to shout out Pana's ask as well. Please support all of

900
01:13:26,260 --> 01:13:31,980
them. Thank you so much. Thank you as next speaker is coming forward all in by three additional

901
01:13:31,980 --> 01:13:38,400
speakers. Ashley McCollog, Huxley, Sondari and Karina Pue. I'm called your name please.

902
01:13:41,220 --> 01:13:41,960
Good morning.

903
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:46,560
My name is Gradyo Brian and I live in District 4 and I'm an intern with students for economic justice.

904
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:53,240
I'm a San Diego City College graduate now heading to a four year university and I urge you to support the feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development

905
01:13:53,240 --> 01:14:00,580
Are you deserve support and access to a future that treats them with care and love if we want those values to be reciprocated back into our community

906
01:14:00,580 --> 01:14:05,600
We need to put them into our youth first giving more money to the sheriff does not make people feel safer

907
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,180
Thank you.

908
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,100
Thank you. Thanks, Speaker. Please

909
01:14:12,020 --> 01:14:17,260
Good morning, Board of Supervisors. My name is Ashley McCullough. I live in district four

910
01:14:17,260 --> 01:14:18,940
and I'm a college student currently

911
01:14:18,940 --> 01:14:21,640
in turning with the Center on Policy Initiatives.

912
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,840
I strongly support this revised budget in item number eight.

913
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,160
Specifically, the investment of a $250,000

914
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,920
feasibility study to explore the creation

915
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:33,780
of a department of youth development.

916
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,200
My environment growing up could have pushed me down the wrong path,

917
01:14:38,380 --> 01:14:40,700
but thanks to mentors with the my community,

918
01:14:41,100 --> 01:14:42,460
I'm standing here today.

919
01:14:43,300 --> 01:14:45,620
Culturally relevant, trauma-informed community

920
01:14:45,620 --> 01:14:51,280
lead care and services is how San Diego can ensure the future of our youth because young

921
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,480
people in San Diego County deserve care.

922
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,620
And not criminalization or confinement. I'd like to thank the youth advocates and the community organizations

923
01:15:06,620 --> 01:15:18,400
to help push for this investment in youth. I'd lastly like to thank Supervisors Monacoma, Gummaree Step and Ploma Geary for their commitment to a safer and healthier communities.

924
01:15:18,820 --> 01:15:23,420
Their leadership reminds us change is important and shows our youth their voices matter.

925
01:15:30,300 --> 01:15:32,160
Good morning Board of Supervisors.

926
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:37,020
My name is Huxley Alexander Cideri and I live in District 1, and I'm here with the Center

927
01:15:37,020 --> 01:15:40,460
of Policy Initiatives and I'm accompanying the Community Budget Alliance.

928
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,420
As a student and someone who aims to be a youth organizer, I've seen how many people in

929
01:15:44,420 --> 01:15:48,540
communities I have lived in across California, such as Palm Desert and here are trying to

930
01:15:48,540 --> 01:15:52,220
build stable lives while dealing with immigration fears and a lack of accessible support.

931
01:15:52,220 --> 01:15:57,840
So it's just why I urge you to approve the recommended budget, especially the Immigrant Legal Defense Program.

932
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:03,580
As a key border city, it is our duty to welcome those seeking asylum, safety, and citizenship

933
01:16:03,580 --> 01:16:09,680
by meeting anyone where they are at in the legal process of that comes when navigating a status here.

934
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:16,040
The right-to-do process applies to every person in U.S. jurisdiction and requires an attorney to help those in the system,

935
01:16:16,260 --> 01:16:20,640
which is why I urge the county to expand funding 13 million to meet the high demand the service provides.

936
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:24,420
Our urge you to care for human beings looking to build upon the American dream.

937
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,320
We have sold the world for 250 years.

938
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:28,400
Thank you.

939
01:16:29,830 --> 01:16:30,190
Thank you.

940
01:16:30,390 --> 01:16:35,990
As the next speaker is coming forward on by three additional speakers, NSW, Chikus, Chikus,

941
01:16:36,090 --> 01:16:39,570
Chikus, Chikus, Kuhina, Grace Hardy, and Gladys Dougadio.

942
01:16:41,670 --> 01:16:42,870
Good morning, Supervisors.

943
01:16:43,030 --> 01:16:43,950
My name is Karina Pue.

944
01:16:44,030 --> 01:16:45,270
My pronouns are she, her.

945
01:16:45,270 --> 01:16:53,470
And I'm here today on behalf of the San Diego LGBT Community Center and a member of the

946
01:16:54,250 --> 01:16:58,910
today we're asking you all to vote and support of our most vulnerable neighbors in San Diego.

947
01:16:59,610 --> 01:17:04,730
Many LGBTQ plus folks flee their countries here to escape homophobia, transphobia and

948
01:17:04,730 --> 01:17:09,590
other persecution. Our entire immigrant community deserves access to due process so we're

949
01:17:09,590 --> 01:17:14,590
asking the county to adopt a budget with a full allocation to the ILDP. In addition, please

950
01:17:14,590 --> 01:17:18,230
fund programs like the eviction diversion program, the Department of Youth Development,

951
01:17:23,070 --> 01:17:23,450
and

952
01:17:23,450 --> 01:17:27,830
that are disproportionately accessed by our LGBTQ plus communities, as our communities

953
01:17:27,830 --> 01:17:30,710
overrepresented among many of these underserved populations.

954
01:17:31,310 --> 01:17:35,030
The budget must be a document that reflects equitable investments into our San Diego region.

955
01:17:35,250 --> 01:17:35,850
Thank you.

956
01:17:39,740 --> 01:17:39,880
Okay.

957
01:17:39,980 --> 01:17:40,440
The next speaker.

958
01:17:41,220 --> 01:17:41,620
Hello.

959
01:17:41,860 --> 01:17:45,840
I'm Grace Hardy, and intern with Children First San Diego, and District 3 resident.

960
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:50,880
I first want to thank you for supporting Healthy Development Services and Funding Discussions,

961
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:54,640
especially with tobacco settlement funds and being open to learning more about the decline

962
01:17:54,640 --> 01:18:00,120
prevention and early intervention services for kids in San Diego. My families live in San Diego after

963
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:04,740
moving many times. My dad is active duty in the Navy so I've been in San Diego and out of San

964
01:18:04,740 --> 01:18:10,320
Diego and I've come back again in about a million times. I grew up overseas both in the United States

965
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:15,660
and on different bases internationally and I could tell growing up the communities and countries

966
01:18:15,660 --> 01:18:20,560
that prioritize kids were fun and secure and now that I'm old enough to reflect on my upbringing,

967
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,980
I realize that those communities were also sustainable.

968
01:18:23,580 --> 01:18:27,220
I speak to you with concern regarding the lack of prioritization and funding for kids, especially

969
01:18:27,220 --> 01:18:28,480
regarding their safety and health.

970
01:18:28,860 --> 01:18:32,240
For example, as I'm sure you're aware, there has been a decline in program revenue for

971
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:36,920
first five San Diego as the funding reliance on attacks on tobacco, which people are just simply

972
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:37,720
buying less of.

973
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:43,140
In 2016, and 2017, the operating budget for first five San Diego was right under $43 million,

974
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:48,600
and the $2026 to $27 budget is right at $26 million, not only is it the $26 million.

975
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:49,280
I just got a lot.

976
01:18:49,860 --> 01:18:50,200
Thank you.

977
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:50,540
Yes, of course.

978
01:18:50,860 --> 01:18:51,560
Thank you.

979
01:18:51,820 --> 01:18:52,680
Next speaker, please.

980
01:18:55,410 --> 01:18:55,950
Good morning.

981
01:18:56,090 --> 01:18:57,370
My name is glad to welcome you.

982
01:18:57,530 --> 01:18:58,990
And I live in Eskundi, though.

983
01:18:59,430 --> 01:19:04,590
This county has identified a $300 million need to protect the natural lands that clean our

984
01:19:04,590 --> 01:19:09,170
air, filter our waters and protect all the species found here and nowhere else on earth.

985
01:19:09,570 --> 01:19:12,510
And yet this budget invests zero dollars for that purpose.

986
01:19:13,090 --> 01:19:16,890
Meanwhile, the county may be spending money on a illegal mass surveillance program.

987
01:19:16,890 --> 01:19:21,370
I cannot confirm whether Flock Safety is still in this revised budget because it was never made

988
01:19:21,370 --> 01:19:22,130
a line item.

989
01:19:22,530 --> 01:19:26,570
In a budget this tight, San Diego's deserve to know exactly what is being funded and at what

990
01:19:26,570 --> 01:19:26,930
level.

991
01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:31,750
The Board must increase transparency in next year's budget process, especially for controversial

992
01:19:31,750 --> 01:19:32,650
line items.

993
01:19:33,350 --> 01:19:37,450
I respectfully request the Board redirect any and all Flock funding in this budget to conserve

994
01:19:37,450 --> 01:19:39,730
San Diego's wildlands for future generations.

995
01:19:40,410 --> 01:19:44,510
I also stand in solidarity with the request of the San Diego Community Budget Alliance,

996
01:19:44,510 --> 01:19:49,570
And I thank you for investments in nutrition security, health care, and the youth feasibility study.

997
01:19:50,010 --> 01:19:50,930
Please protect these commitments.

998
01:19:51,250 --> 01:19:52,790
Thank you.

999
01:19:53,070 --> 01:19:53,430
Thank you.

1000
01:19:53,610 --> 01:19:55,730
Before the next speaker begins, I'll write three additional speakers.

1001
01:19:56,350 --> 01:20:00,010
Suhi Niyato, Ian Sorillo, Courtney Baltiski.

1002
01:20:01,190 --> 01:20:04,230
Good morning, supervisor. My name is Anastasia Chistuhina.

1003
01:20:04,510 --> 01:20:07,930
I live in District 3 and I'm a small business owner.

1004
01:20:08,550 --> 01:20:14,170
I urge you to stand with immigrant communities and approve the proposed budget for the immigrant

1005
01:20:14,170 --> 01:20:20,330
legal defense program and fully funded. My family came to the United States from Ukraine in

1006
01:20:20,330 --> 01:20:26,510
2020 after Russia's full scale invasion. As someone who is rebuilding their life here

1007
01:20:26,510 --> 01:20:32,770
and still navigating the immigration system, I know how complicated and stressful it can be.

1008
01:20:33,110 --> 01:20:39,330
Even for people who legally present in the country, when someone faces detention or immigration

1009
01:20:39,330 --> 01:20:43,410
precedence access to Etonia can make all the difference.

1010
01:20:43,650 --> 01:20:47,090
No one should have to face complex legal system

1011
01:20:47,090 --> 01:20:50,730
alone simply because they can't afford legal help.

1012
01:20:51,090 --> 01:20:53,430
Immigrants legal defense program helps protect

1013
01:20:53,430 --> 01:20:57,270
due process and ensure that vulnerable people have access to

1014
01:20:57,270 --> 01:20:59,930
legal representation when they need it most.

1015
01:21:00,450 --> 01:21:03,310
I respectfully urge you to support their

1016
01:21:03,310 --> 01:21:05,650
Thank you.

1017
01:21:05,910 --> 01:21:06,530
Next speaker, please.

1018
01:21:09,480 --> 01:21:10,000
Good morning.

1019
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:11,300
My name is Haneeto.

1020
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:12,860
I live in District 8.

1021
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:20,240
I am a CIU local 221 union member, which is part of the community budget alliance.

1022
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,000
I've had the privilege to work for the county of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency

1023
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,260
under the Department of South Sefficiency Services for four years.

1024
01:21:28,860 --> 01:21:34,200
My duty as a human service specialist is to provide services for those members of the community

1025
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:39,580
that are in dire need of assistance, basic necessity such as food and health care.

1026
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:50,040
This brings me to the reason for my participation today, which is to bring awareness

1027
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:55,740
of the impacts of HR-1, has had on self-sufficiency services.

1028
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:01,020
With the current budget, re-adjustment services such as CalFresh, MediCal, have severely

1029
01:22:01,020 --> 01:22:01,800
be impacted.

1030
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:06,120
We are able to see this through the numerous customer interactions where the predominant

1031
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,780
emotional expression consists of anxiety, fear, frustration, and despair.

1032
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,660
And I'll share it throughout the county of San Diego.

1033
01:22:15,090 --> 01:22:19,470
As an Expeakers, coming forward on-vite three-dustle speakers, Oliver Twist, allegedly

1034
01:22:19,470 --> 01:22:23,010
Audra, Natalie Rashke, come on down.

1035
01:22:25,380 --> 01:22:25,740
Thank you.

1036
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:27,120
Good morning, honorable supervisors.

1037
01:22:27,420 --> 01:22:30,380
My name's Courtney Baltiske with the William C.A. of San Diego County.

1038
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:36,160
We're also leaders and partners in the Children's First Collective, the TU1 River Coalition.

1039
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:43,240
We want to thank you for all of the hard work of staff and the supervisors and teams throughout the budget process.

1040
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:51,020
We've had incredible experiences lifting important issues with each of your five teams across this fiscal year.

1041
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:56,960
Everything from safety around water and ocean side to greater awareness about bike safety.

1042
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:05,640
But we still have a significant need for guaranteed funding for some of the most important health and safety issues in San Diego.

1043
01:23:06,140 --> 01:23:11,900
That includes dedicated funding for child care and safe spaces for our youngest learners.

1044
01:23:12,420 --> 01:23:16,820
And it also includes the Tijuana River Valley, which we know will be considered out of reserves.

1045
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:21,880
It's extremely disappointing to hear that some of the state budget asks are falling through.

1046
01:23:22,260 --> 01:23:26,000
And we need guaranteed funding to end this pollution crisis.

1047
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Thank you.

1048
01:23:28,580 --> 01:23:29,080
Thank you.

1049
01:23:29,300 --> 01:23:30,300
Next speaker please.

1050
01:23:34,230 --> 01:23:34,370
Hi.

1051
01:23:34,550 --> 01:23:34,990
Good morning.

1052
01:23:35,170 --> 01:23:36,370
Oliver Twistie, K.A.

1053
01:23:36,550 --> 01:23:37,030
Mary Davis.

1054
01:23:37,230 --> 01:23:40,030
Thank you for the report and for the emphasis on the balance budget.

1055
01:23:40,490 --> 01:23:45,190
However, what goes on said was, in fact, it's a services deficit and I would actually

1056
01:23:45,190 --> 01:23:49,050
like to see a chart that shows that things that you're aspiring to do where you're following

1057
01:23:49,050 --> 01:23:54,510
short instead of covering it up and acting like that there is not a gap there.

1058
01:23:54,790 --> 01:23:56,130
So let's be honest about that.

1059
01:23:56,130 --> 01:23:59,630
Also, I would like you to do whatever the city of San Diego is do.

1060
01:23:59,770 --> 01:24:00,550
You do the opposite.

1061
01:24:01,070 --> 01:24:03,250
Stop the progressive pipe dreams and peppery.

1062
01:24:03,750 --> 01:24:06,750
We need to return to pragmatism, where we are focused

1063
01:24:06,750 --> 01:24:09,250
on a mazlo hierarchy that we are funding.

1064
01:24:09,510 --> 01:24:11,250
Our needs and infrastructure first.

1065
01:24:11,390 --> 01:24:14,490
In particular, the VISTA detention facility

1066
01:24:14,490 --> 01:24:15,490
is critical.

1067
01:24:15,750 --> 01:24:17,310
What happened with the Lake Hodges Dam

1068
01:24:17,310 --> 01:24:19,970
when they put that off, it went from 275 million

1069
01:24:19,970 --> 01:24:22,370
to now estimated 700 million.

1070
01:24:22,830 --> 01:24:23,870
You are only going to get yourself

1071
01:24:23,870 --> 01:24:25,530
in a further hole in the ground.

1072
01:24:25,530 --> 01:24:33,110
Also, I'm here to advocate for the unincorporated areas start showing love to La Presse that there are very underserved community. Thank you

1073
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:46,400
Hi good morning, Board of Supervisors. My name is Lilliana Soliano. I am the director of policy at youth will wear youth advocacy organization

1074
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:51,300
And we're also a member of the community budget alliance also as myself. I live in district four

1075
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:57,200
But we do work across the county my vision for the county is one where every young person has everything

1076
01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:59,960
that they need to be happy, healthy, and reach the full potential.

1077
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:05,100
And that's why I urge you today to approve the recommended budget, which includes full funding

1078
01:25:05,100 --> 01:25:12,200
for key people first investments, such as Nutrition Security, Demigration Legal Defense Program,

1079
01:25:12,420 --> 01:25:16,820
a feasibility study to create a department of youth development and funding for the global

1080
01:25:16,820 --> 01:25:17,280
village.

1081
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,900
These are kinds of investments that keep people supported, housing connected to opportunities

1082
01:25:21,900 --> 01:25:22,880
throughout the county.

1083
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:28,360
But while our community struggle to afford housing, health care, and basic means, many continues

1084
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:34,300
to pour into criminalization from pop 36 to share of overtime to build more jail capacity.

1085
01:25:34,300 --> 01:25:36,240
And that doesn't support young people directly.

1086
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:41,120
So I urge you to choose care over criminalization, invest in the services and opportunities

1087
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:42,020
of people thinking.

1088
01:25:43,740 --> 01:25:44,420
Thank you.

1089
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:46,820
I'd like to invite four or three additional speakers.

1090
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:52,380
Maria Alina Greenman-Lind, Bell in Hernandez, and Marco Espinoza.

1091
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:53,720
I have caught your name, please come forward.

1092
01:25:55,140 --> 01:25:55,360
Hi.

1093
01:25:55,420 --> 01:25:58,380
Thank you for hearing me today, Natalie Rashty, District 3.

1094
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:02,980
I just wanted to share some of the things that you have to deal with when you're

1095
01:26:02,980 --> 01:26:06,500
in-house, let alone all the other things.

1096
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:13,020
During my time of being homeless, this is what I was dealt with.

1097
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:13,960
These are all tickets.

1098
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:15,920
These are just some of them.

1099
01:26:16,460 --> 01:26:23,920
So add that on to working the 20 hours a week, trying to get sleep,

1100
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,120
dealing with life, and this.

1101
01:26:28,660 --> 01:26:31,560
This is just some. These are tickets for being parked.

1102
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:39,640
You can get ticketed for so many things, and now we have to worry about how we're going to get food.

1103
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:45,560
I have an EHV that gets cut in November. I will be homeless again in November for children.

1104
01:26:48,290 --> 01:26:48,730
Thank

1105
01:26:54,780 --> 01:26:55,220
you.

1106
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,200
Good morning, County Board of Supervisors. My name is Maria Lennag,

1107
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:00,420
Greenland and it's honor to be here with all of you.

1108
01:27:00,860 --> 01:27:04,820
I had to speech ready, but something that really caught my eye and I would like for all of us three

1109
01:27:04,820 --> 01:27:10,200
such are these three beautiful visions of San Diego County, of what San Diego County could look like.

1110
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:16,760
But what we do see missing are two juvenile detention facilities that represent who are youth are currently right now.

1111
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:25,380
So, I want to ask you guys, every time you guys come in here to make a decision, specifically for the $250,000 adoption for the feasibility study.

1112
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Think about, is this really who San Diego County is and do we want to reach that position?

1113
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:35,720
I ask you to please take into heart the youth voices that need to be heard.

1114
01:27:36,180 --> 01:27:39,840
Their experiences need to be uplift and created better resources.

1115
01:27:40,180 --> 01:27:46,100
And I truly believe this $250,000 feasibility study will create this vision into our reality of San Diego County.

1116
01:27:46,100 --> 01:27:47,560
Thank you.

1117
01:27:50,010 --> 01:27:50,410
Thank you.

1118
01:27:50,730 --> 01:27:51,350
Thank you.

1119
01:27:51,350 --> 01:27:51,830
Good morning.

1120
01:27:52,030 --> 01:27:52,490
Supervisors.

1121
01:27:52,650 --> 01:27:53,710
My name is Bill and Hernandez.

1122
01:27:54,090 --> 01:27:58,430
Here speaking on behalf of the mid city community advocacy network, mid city can.

1123
01:27:58,750 --> 01:28:04,830
And I want to say thank you for being receptive to our students, the youth, and the adults

1124
01:28:04,830 --> 01:28:07,590
who have been here to speak for the Department of Youth Development.

1125
01:28:08,670 --> 01:28:14,770
I know structural changes at the county can be difficult for us to come on board for, but

1126
01:28:14,770 --> 01:28:18,790
This is just an initial study for us to discuss.

1127
01:28:19,770 --> 01:28:23,390
What are the needs in the county and what needs to be done

1128
01:28:23,390 --> 01:28:25,970
because we know the youth need greater support.

1129
01:28:26,770 --> 01:28:30,030
So we look forward to working with you in the coming months

1130
01:28:30,030 --> 01:28:33,190
to structure that study in a way that makes sense

1131
01:28:33,190 --> 01:28:37,230
and see what we can do next in our county.

1132
01:28:37,570 --> 01:28:38,710
And thank you again.

1133
01:28:41,450 --> 01:28:42,690
Thank you.

1134
01:28:42,810 --> 01:28:43,490
Speak for please.

1135
01:28:44,110 --> 01:28:45,730
Good morning, Marcos Penosa.

1136
01:28:46,630 --> 01:28:49,250
Madam Chair and baby, less than 30 seconds.

1137
01:28:50,370 --> 01:28:51,370
Nice surprise though.

1138
01:28:52,550 --> 01:28:54,690
Yes, motion approved.

1139
01:28:55,030 --> 01:28:59,850
And I'm glad to see the words of heard from earlier this year.

1140
01:29:00,150 --> 01:29:05,510
We'll one about the feasibility study for the child development department.

1141
01:29:06,270 --> 01:29:07,470
Is it becoming anything?

1142
01:29:07,810 --> 01:29:08,690
So excited to see that.

1143
01:29:08,870 --> 01:29:09,750
Thank you very much.

1144
01:29:10,010 --> 01:29:10,410
You'll back.

1145
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:13,240
Thank you.

1146
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:18,660
As an ex-peakers coming forward, I'll invite three additional speakers, Jerry Hall,

1147
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,260
Harohen, Harry Haram, and Jesse Schmitti.

1148
01:29:25,540 --> 01:29:31,460
Nine plus billion dollars, and we only get one minute to address the negligence that takes place,

1149
01:29:31,460 --> 01:29:36,600
and I have significant concerns about you developing a youth development department.

1150
01:29:37,260 --> 01:29:45,180
When I have first-hand witnessed the crimes against children that you guys are engaged in by ripping families apart

1151
01:29:45,180 --> 01:29:51,200
and seeing that children are adoptable, and so that's a reason to adopt them out, not to

1152
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:56,440
protect them, but because they're adoptable, it's a very lucrative business, and you're

1153
01:29:56,440 --> 01:29:59,980
very much engaged in terminating parental rights in fact.

1154
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:06,740
Act, I know a handful of children, including Malaya and Ziya Robinson, Omar, Bayani, Whalen. There are so

1155
01:30:06,740 --> 01:30:12,390
many children that are set to lose their families, and this is the kind of stuff that you engage in.

1156
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:30,000
You're lucky that's not your daughter, Tara. Do give her a kiss.

1157
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:31,340
I'll speak up,

1158
01:30:33,490 --> 01:30:33,510
please.

1159
01:30:33,830 --> 01:30:33,990
Okay.

1160
01:30:37,140 --> 01:30:37,420
Good morning.

1161
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,860
Supervisors, chair and baby.

1162
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:41,720
And the community.

1163
01:30:42,540 --> 01:30:43,880
I speak to her, Judith.

1164
01:30:47,140 --> 01:30:50,840
I'm sorry, my name is Jerry Hall of District 1.

1165
01:30:51,900 --> 01:30:59,340
I applaud your spending the money to conduct a feasibility study for the youth development

1166
01:31:00,100 --> 01:31:06,640
department, and much like that department, though, there's opportunities to save tens and tens

1167
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:12,440
of millions, if not hundreds of millions in our public safety system, and if we have to

1168
01:31:12,440 --> 01:31:20,480
look through this process, it's frustrating because it's a brief process where we can

1169
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:25,440
need to get community support and get everybody's attention, and these are things that should

1170
01:31:25,440 --> 01:31:31,060
happening in a planning process throughout the year. So, right now, our behavioral services,

1171
01:31:32,340 --> 01:31:37,560
we put out a budget in April, and here we are 60 days later, after all the community

1172
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:41,260
meetings in the programs and services budget to that change by $1.

1173
01:31:46,410 --> 01:31:46,970
Speaker.

1174
01:31:49,350 --> 01:31:52,270
Good morning, Chair and Supervisors. My name is Jesse Schmitti,

1175
01:31:52,450 --> 01:31:56,550
State Policy Manager for Alliance in Diego. Thank you all for working with our

1176
01:31:56,550 --> 01:32:00,050
organizations and coalitions as we close discussions around the county budget.

1177
01:32:00,050 --> 01:32:04,470
We respectfully urge your support for both the immigrant legal defense program and the eviction

1178
01:32:04,470 --> 01:32:05,410
diversion program.

1179
01:32:05,910 --> 01:32:08,690
Here in San Diego, we are on the front lines of immigration policy.

1180
01:32:08,950 --> 01:32:13,310
We've seen civil immigration arrest increase by more than 1,500 percent, while detentions

1181
01:32:13,310 --> 01:32:15,010
at Otaimesa has served dramatically.

1182
01:32:15,690 --> 01:32:20,410
At a time when families are facing unprecedented uncertainty, access to legal representation

1183
01:32:20,410 --> 01:32:21,590
is not a luxury.

1184
01:32:21,850 --> 01:32:23,290
It is a matter of due process.

1185
01:32:24,010 --> 01:32:28,450
The immigrant legal defense program ensures that people are not forced to navigate a complex

1186
01:32:28,450 --> 01:32:34,030
legal system alone and help keep families together during some of the most difficult times of their lives.

1187
01:32:34,470 --> 01:32:38,770
Likewise, eviction of urgent program helps prevent homelessness before it actually happens.

1188
01:32:39,190 --> 01:32:45,930
It keeps families housed, reduces strain on public systems, and is far less costly than responding after someone loses their own.

1189
01:32:46,210 --> 01:32:51,310
These programs reflect the values of our region, fairness, stability, and dignity, and I thank you all for your attention.

1190
01:32:52,050 --> 01:32:52,810
Thank you.

1191
01:32:52,810 --> 01:32:53,350
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

1192
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:57,100
Good morning, everyone.

1193
01:32:57,140 --> 01:32:58,480
My name is Arohan Hariharan.

1194
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,380
I'm a recent graduate of UC San Diego.

1195
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:04,760
And I am one of the housing justice directors of our time to act.

1196
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:11,500
I'm here today to emphasize the need of support for community from the local government.

1197
01:33:13,820 --> 01:33:20,020
And you know, ask that the local government does what it can to help them with their most basic needs.

1198
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:23,820
I also want to help the asks of the community budget alliance.

1199
01:33:23,820 --> 01:33:26,780
and the partnership for the advancement of new Americans.

1200
01:33:27,740 --> 01:33:34,560
And most importantly, emphasize increased support for the department of youth development.

1201
01:33:35,700 --> 01:33:42,060
In these times, I think it is most important that Sandagans can depend on their local government

1202
01:33:42,060 --> 01:33:48,440
and that you can continue to support them and increase support for them as much as possible.

1203
01:33:48,740 --> 01:33:49,320
Thank you so much.

1204
01:33:50,580 --> 01:33:51,260
Thank you.

1205
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:56,500
As an ex-peakers coming forward on by three additional speakers, Casey Shirk, Karina Zavala,

1206
01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:58,220
C.K. Kalderon Vargas.

1207
01:33:58,460 --> 01:33:58,780
I've called you.

1208
01:33:58,920 --> 01:33:59,640
Please come forward.

1209
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:00,840
Good morning.

1210
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:02,960
My name is Jesús Martín Gallegos Muños.

1211
01:34:03,060 --> 01:34:07,380
I'm a community organizing coordinator at the Chicano Federation and a member of the Community

1212
01:34:07,380 --> 01:34:08,180
Budget Alliance.

1213
01:34:08,900 --> 01:34:10,300
And representation of the Alliance.

1214
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,500
I'm here to highlight the messages our community has already mentioned.

1215
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,160
We need a budget that prioritizes youth.

1216
01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:19,800
Immigrant families, tenant protections, and environmental justice.

1217
01:34:20,380 --> 01:34:23,100
We need a San Diego that truly protects our loved ones,

1218
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,180
and I please ask you to prioritize our community members.

1219
01:34:26,760 --> 01:34:30,340
Fund tenant protections for immigrant families, fund ILDP,

1220
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:33,200
and start the process for the Department of Youth Development.

1221
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,920
As youth youth are not only to present the future,

1222
01:34:37,260 --> 01:34:40,700
we are the present, and if we want to start advocating for our society,

1223
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:42,640
we need to start prioritizing our youth.

1224
01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:43,980
Thank you.

1225
01:34:45,580 --> 01:34:46,140
Thank you, no.

1226
01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:47,040
Speak to your place.

1227
01:34:48,940 --> 01:34:49,060
Hello.

1228
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:50,440
My name is Karina Salala.

1229
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:53,760
I am 18 years old and I work.

1230
01:34:54,180 --> 01:34:57,160
I'm a part of my city-can, and it includes a curse ration.

1231
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:04,840
And I'm here to give my call me on why you guys should support the YD.

1232
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:08,640
Like I said before, I have been firmly incarcerated.

1233
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,620
And I was a dual status youth.

1234
01:35:14,340 --> 01:35:42,600
And I'm here today to say that the YD will be so helpful for our youth because no kids should be locked down and no kids should be in a facility and anything too is that this will help us through so much not just one place in the Canis and Legal but all over the Canis and Legal because we all know that our youth do need help and we all know that we can't do this all by ourselves.

1235
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:43,800
And we need this to happen.

1236
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:47,340
Thank you very much for this time.

1237
01:35:47,760 --> 01:35:49,100
Thank you.

1238
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:49,900
Thank you.

1239
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:51,640
Go ahead and call three additional speakers.

1240
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:56,520
Marco Guajardo, Alejandro Martinez, Fernanda Flores.

1241
01:35:59,470 --> 01:35:59,990
Hello, good morning.

1242
01:36:00,130 --> 01:36:00,830
My name is Casey.

1243
01:36:01,090 --> 01:36:02,710
I am a Human Services Specialist.

1244
01:36:02,770 --> 01:36:04,050
And I have been for two years.

1245
01:36:04,090 --> 01:36:06,190
And I am a proud SCIU-221 member.

1246
01:36:07,010 --> 01:36:09,210
Part of my job is providing the community care

1247
01:36:09,210 --> 01:36:12,030
through government programs, such as Calfresh and Amaticao,

1248
01:36:12,490 --> 01:36:14,450
for many of my clients receiving these benefits

1249
01:36:14,450 --> 01:36:18,410
This is the difference between staying housed and living on the streets.

1250
01:36:19,150 --> 01:36:24,950
I would like to iterate that human services specialist, self-sufficiency services, HHSA,

1251
01:36:25,070 --> 01:36:26,770
we are public safety too.

1252
01:36:27,330 --> 01:36:31,650
HR1 has had a pretty big impact across the board for these programs, from evaluating for

1253
01:36:31,650 --> 01:36:36,470
time restrictions on CalFresh, and evaluating the elderly and disabled property for

1254
01:36:36,470 --> 01:36:36,750
Medicare.

1255
01:36:37,370 --> 01:36:41,550
Our process for providing these necessary structures of care timely has taken a hit.

1256
01:36:41,550 --> 01:36:49,470
We acknowledge the county for trying to mitigate these impacts, and we want to stress the importance of adequate funding for human services specialists and OA positions.

1257
01:36:49,950 --> 01:36:57,750
I would like to bring up that my facility, the National City Family Resource Center, we are currently down 12 positions, 12 HSS positions.

1258
01:36:58,410 --> 01:37:00,550
We are having issues with the...

1259
01:37:01,070 --> 01:37:01,450
Okay.

1260
01:37:02,410 --> 01:37:02,970
Thank you.

1261
01:37:04,350 --> 01:37:05,050
Next speaker.

1262
01:37:07,380 --> 01:37:10,260
Good morning, board, or afternoon, or still morning.

1263
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:13,380
My name is Marco Wachardo, resident of District 4.

1264
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:16,280
I'm an intern with Students for Economic Justice

1265
01:37:16,280 --> 01:37:18,060
at the Center on Policy and Initiatives.

1266
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:21,400
I'm here to urge the board to unanimously adopt

1267
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:23,900
the revised budget, specifically the inclusion

1268
01:37:23,900 --> 01:37:26,700
of a $250,000 feasibility study,

1269
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:28,840
to explore the creation of the department

1270
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:32,060
for youth development as late out in an item eight.

1271
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:35,460
For us, youth development is public safety.

1272
01:37:35,460 --> 01:37:42,000
Healthy communities are rooted in young people, feeling safe, and having much more than their basic needs made.

1273
01:37:42,580 --> 01:37:48,440
When young people's futures are protected, public safety is fortified and crime rates go down.

1274
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:54,060
Currently San Diego's juvenile justice system is punitive and causes real harm.

1275
01:37:54,580 --> 01:38:00,300
Youth outcomes are worse in the through our current approach, and our youth deserve a care first model,

1276
01:38:00,300 --> 01:38:05,700
where jails and incarceration are the absolute last forms of mediation.

1277
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:10,020
It's vital to recognize that San Diego is currently engaged in the committee.

1278
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:12,680
Thank you.

1279
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:13,060
Thank you.

1280
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:14,280
Thank you.

1281
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:16,780
Good morning, my name is Fernanda Flores.

1282
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:21,200
I'm the political director with IOTC, the International Alliance of the Atrical Station,

1283
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:22,800
Police, Local 122.

1284
01:38:23,480 --> 01:38:29,060
I am here to speak on behalf of IOTC 122, the San Diego Entertainment Union Coalition,

1285
01:38:29,060 --> 01:38:33,540
and over 20 organizations that have endorsed the film initiative.

1286
01:38:34,540 --> 01:38:37,800
To name a few, it's business for goods and naval arts matters.

1287
01:38:38,220 --> 01:38:41,160
The East County Chamber of Commerce sent you a tourism authority.

1288
01:38:41,940 --> 01:38:48,200
We want to highlight the allocation of establishing to establish a film office.

1289
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,060
And while this is not the end merely the beginning,

1290
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:54,740
we want to think the leadership and the vision from this board

1291
01:38:54,740 --> 01:38:58,380
to invest in San Diego's, during my time,

1292
01:38:58,540 --> 01:39:00,940
I was able to witness behind this scene film production,

1293
01:39:01,300 --> 01:39:02,920
and we have so much talent here.

1294
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,000
San Diego's already, they're hungry

1295
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:07,180
to create quality life-lunker readers.

1296
01:39:07,540 --> 01:39:10,160
Business is already to produce and service.

1297
01:39:10,900 --> 01:39:13,360
Everything that it takes around film.

1298
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:15,440
So thank you so much for your leadership,

1299
01:39:15,440 --> 01:39:17,080
and we look forward to working with you

1300
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:18,120
at the next steps.

1301
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:19,000
Thank you.

1302
01:39:19,260 --> 01:39:21,420
Thank you, like to call three additional speakers.

1303
01:39:21,420 --> 01:39:26,780
There's Chloe Medina, Vanessa Gonzalez, and Chris Oforo Gomez.

1304
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:30,800
Thank you, good morning Board of Survisors.

1305
01:39:31,240 --> 01:39:32,680
My name is Alejandra, I'm with the mid city can.

1306
01:39:32,820 --> 01:39:34,740
You've just this momentum team and CBA.

1307
01:39:35,660 --> 01:39:38,980
I first and foremost want to thank Supervisor Palomagir,

1308
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,180
Supervisor Monica Montgomery Step.

1309
01:39:42,440 --> 01:39:46,160
Supervisor Tara Lawson, Remer, and Supervisor Joel Desmond for their support

1310
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:49,620
on this $250,000 feasibility study for Department of Youth Development.

1311
01:39:50,500 --> 01:39:55,960
One of our youth was I, but I'll make it here on time today so she wasn't able to speak so I'll be sharing her statement really quickly.

1312
01:39:56,200 --> 01:40:01,140
Good morning Board of Surveysers, I'm Shama, Shama, also known as Shimi, and I'm part of District 4.

1313
01:40:01,340 --> 01:40:05,880
The reason I myself was pushing so hard for this is because I was part of the system I was affected by it.

1314
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:09,280
I feel as if sending us straight into the cell doesn't solve what is wrong with this mentally.

1315
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:12,720
It creates a cycle of trauma that gets passed down to the next person.

1316
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:18,400
Funding us all funding us will help with not only trauma, but our communities that we are sent back to.

1317
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:28,480
The trauma that is caused inside, we take it out, but everyone has different ways of showing it, working with lived experience and people that are like me actually help some more than people who aren't lived experience, who haven't been through what I've been through.

1318
01:40:28,700 --> 01:40:29,440
We hope.

1319
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:31,300
Thank you.

1320
01:40:34,410 --> 01:40:34,990
Thank you.

1321
01:40:35,250 --> 01:40:35,490
Next speaker.

1322
01:40:41,330 --> 01:40:42,170
Good morning.

1323
01:40:42,370 --> 01:40:43,610
My name is Iike Calaromba.

1324
01:40:43,750 --> 01:40:46,250
My pronouns are A. Yes, she heard.

1325
01:40:46,370 --> 01:40:50,550
I'm the director of Latina Services from the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

1326
01:40:50,550 --> 01:40:56,230
And I'm here for asking for help for you to support the final

1327
01:40:56,230 --> 01:41:00,630
visit and funding of the County Immigration Legal Defense Program.

1328
01:41:01,110 --> 01:41:06,450
We have trans clients that have lived in San Diego for 20 years that were detained and

1329
01:41:06,450 --> 01:41:12,170
the ILDP helped them get back to their houses, to their homes, to their community.

1330
01:41:13,010 --> 01:41:17,390
The ILDP is helping so much please fully fund it.

1331
01:41:17,690 --> 01:41:18,550
Thank you.

1332
01:41:21,330 --> 01:41:22,210
Thank you.

1333
01:41:22,470 --> 01:41:22,770
Next speaker.

1334
01:41:26,030 --> 01:41:26,850
Good morning, supervisors.

1335
01:41:27,230 --> 01:41:31,630
My name is Chloe Medina and I have been an educator for over 20 years.

1336
01:41:31,850 --> 01:41:38,130
I currently live in District 2 and work in District 5 and I'm here to demonstrate my support for the revised budget.

1337
01:41:38,370 --> 01:41:44,970
Specifically the investment of $250,000 to conduct a feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development.

1338
01:41:45,750 --> 01:41:52,070
I began my career in education with the goal of supporting system impacted youth and their families and that continues to be my priority.

1339
01:41:52,070 --> 01:41:59,610
The future overall health safety and well-being of our communities will be determined by how well our children are taking care of today.

1340
01:42:00,270 --> 01:42:08,190
What has been confirmed for me do many experiences and what the studies and data also backup is that the current system does not work.

1341
01:42:08,590 --> 01:42:17,970
In fact, it perpetuates harm. Young folks are more responsive and more capable of growing into their full potential when they are met with love and support rather than threats and harsh consequences.

1342
01:42:17,970 --> 01:42:25,970
That is why we need to invest in care for our community-led approaches, we're culturally relevant, trauma-informed services are accessible to all.

1343
01:42:26,270 --> 01:42:27,170
Thank you.

1344
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:31,360
Next speaker, please.

1345
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:37,740
Good morning Board of Supervisors. My name is Vanessa Asosana Gonzalez, and I live in District 5.

1346
01:42:38,260 --> 01:42:44,440
We need to allocate the $250,000 for a feasibility study to further creation of Department of Youth Development.

1347
01:42:44,440 --> 01:42:51,080
As someone who works directly with youth and residential treatment, supporting youth with significant mental health and behavioral health challenges,

1348
01:42:51,700 --> 01:42:59,440
I have seen how quickly a young person can be labelled as a problem when they really need a support safety and positive youth development and experiences.

1349
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:09,260
Many of the young people are worked with have experience trauma and stability and system involvement with punitive responses that often deepen those challenges rather than address them at the root cause.

1350
01:43:09,260 --> 01:43:14,820
San Diego's juvenile justice system is causing harm and worsens outcomes for many youth,

1351
01:43:15,100 --> 01:43:19,240
young people deserve a care first model that prioritizes healing, mental health services,

1352
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:21,620
community support, and opportunities for growth.

1353
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:26,800
Jails and incarceration should be the last form of intervention, not the foundation of our

1354
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:31,240
response. Investing in Youth Development is investing in public safety. Thank you to supervisors,

1355
01:43:31,620 --> 01:43:34,680
Monica Montgomery's step in Paloma Aguilar for their leadership and commitment.

1356
01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:36,840
Thank you.

1357
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:37,220
Thank you.

1358
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:38,100
Speaker, please.

1359
01:43:41,130 --> 01:43:41,670
Good morning.

1360
01:43:41,810 --> 01:43:42,150
Supervisor.

1361
01:43:42,330 --> 01:43:43,570
My name is Christopher Agomas.

1362
01:43:43,810 --> 01:43:46,810
I'm a district one resident and an organizer with a San Diego and Imperial County's

1363
01:43:46,810 --> 01:43:47,590
Labor Council.

1364
01:43:47,910 --> 01:43:51,630
We represent over 130 unions and 200,000 working people across these counties.

1365
01:43:52,390 --> 01:43:55,830
And today I'm speaking on behalf of many of these members that have both directly and indirectly

1366
01:43:55,830 --> 01:43:59,770
experience the cruelty of the federal administration's immigration enforcement

1367
01:43:59,770 --> 01:44:03,490
and asking that you fully fund legal defense program.

1368
01:44:03,490 --> 01:44:09,470
This violence has fallen on the backs of hardworking people who are simply trying to survive and make ends meet.

1369
01:44:09,810 --> 01:44:16,590
And we believe that in this critical moment, it is incumbent upon local government to do everything in its power to protect its constituents.

1370
01:44:17,290 --> 01:44:27,830
This funding, along with other items in the package that deal with things like eviction diversion and nutrition access and the youth feasibility study are avenues to just that. So we urge your support. Thank you.

1371
01:44:27,830 --> 01:44:28,590
Thank you.

1372
01:44:28,790 --> 01:44:29,830
I'll call three additional speakers.

1373
01:44:30,290 --> 01:44:31,290
How am I, are you, Sufi?

1374
01:44:31,850 --> 01:44:33,910
Caitlin Radigan and Lucky Aiden.

1375
01:44:36,550 --> 01:44:40,310
At the reception of that I go in with the Lion San Diego members of the San Diego Immigrant

1376
01:44:40,310 --> 01:44:42,810
Rights Consortium and the Community Budget Alliance.

1377
01:44:43,410 --> 01:44:48,510
We thank the CAO and supervisors for fully funding the Immigrant Legal Defense Program to

1378
01:44:48,510 --> 01:44:49,470
keep it operational.

1379
01:44:49,950 --> 01:44:54,530
This is a critical due process investment, the Reflex San Diego County's commitment to fairness,

1380
01:44:54,990 --> 01:44:55,810
dignity, and justice.

1381
01:44:55,810 --> 01:44:59,970
As immigration enforcement increases across our region, families are now

1382
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:11,740
We are investigating one of those complex legal systems often alone and in detention. Just today, the Supreme Court issued a couple of decisions that are going to make things even harder and increase enforcement.

1383
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:23,820
The ILDP ensures that people have access to legal representation when they need it most. It means keeping families together, protecting due process and strengthening the conditions for immigrant communities to thrive.

1384
01:45:23,820 --> 01:45:31,900
We also ask you to continue investing in prevention over punishment, including $3 million in

1385
01:45:31,900 --> 01:45:35,040
eviction diversion program to help keep families housed.

1386
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:38,800
Please invest in programs that protect human rights while ensuring accountability

1387
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:39,540
and transparency.

1388
01:45:40,340 --> 01:45:40,940
Thank you.

1389
01:45:41,820 --> 01:45:43,000
Next speaker, please.

1390
01:45:44,420 --> 01:45:44,640
Okay.

1391
01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:46,060
Good morning.

1392
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:50,720
My name is Lucky Aiden with Hannah and the Community Budget Alliance and I'm a resident of

1393
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:51,340
District 4.

1394
01:45:51,340 --> 01:45:55,900
I'm here in support of funding for the Immigration Legal Fund Program and the GoVivilage.

1395
01:45:56,480 --> 01:46:01,320
Supporting the GoVivilage project will help bring life to a vision that already exists beyond housing.

1396
01:46:01,820 --> 01:46:07,560
It is helping create a community where families can put down roots, build economic opportunities and thrive.

1397
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:16,580
The GoVivilage will provide over 444 largely affordable homes and create pathways for small business owners through our GoVivilage.

1398
01:46:16,580 --> 01:46:22,740
It doesn't need it, it doesn't need a place where people can live, work, and thrive and connect together.

1399
01:46:23,620 --> 01:46:29,920
With your support, you are going to be expanding on the impact and creating a long lasting asset for generations to come.

1400
01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:31,960
Thank you.

1401
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:32,600
Thank you.

1402
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:33,840
Next speaker, please.

1403
01:46:37,140 --> 01:46:38,720
Good morning, chair and supervisors.

1404
01:46:39,100 --> 01:46:40,440
My name is Caitlyn Radigan.

1405
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:42,320
I'm a resident of District 2.

1406
01:46:42,580 --> 01:46:47,140
And I currently serve as the statewide policy manager for California Youth Connection.

1407
01:46:47,140 --> 01:46:55,200
I'm here today in support of the revised budget that includes the $250,000 feasibility study

1408
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:58,380
for the establishment of a department of youth development.

1409
01:46:59,140 --> 01:47:00,780
I think that this is more than a study.

1410
01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:06,120
It's really an opportunity for us to intentionally invest in our young people.

1411
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:14,240
We've seen this model work well in Los Angeles and our youth are so incredibly resilient and full of potential.

1412
01:47:14,240 --> 01:47:22,280
but they're also navigating poverty, housing instability, trafficking, violence, and so many other barriers.

1413
01:47:23,260 --> 01:47:27,400
And no young person should really have to come overcome all of that alone.

1414
01:47:27,980 --> 01:47:32,400
A department of youth development would create a coordinated approach to investing in youth,

1415
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:37,580
rather than expecting different agencies and system providers working in silos.

1416
01:47:38,460 --> 01:47:39,480
Thank you so much.

1417
01:47:40,380 --> 01:47:46,340
Thank you, I'd like to invite three additional speakers, Sarah Gonzalez, Rachel Osano Castro, and

1418
01:47:46,340 --> 01:47:47,160
Fortuneata Pena.

1419
01:47:50,070 --> 01:47:53,890
Good morning, supervisors, my name is Ian Saruelo.

1420
01:47:54,050 --> 01:47:59,750
I am with the Asia Pacific American Labor Alliance and also the chair of the San Diego Immigrant

1421
01:47:59,750 --> 01:48:00,550
Rights Consortium.

1422
01:48:00,730 --> 01:48:05,310
First, I would like to thank the Board for supporting the funding of the Immigrant Legal

1423
01:48:05,310 --> 01:48:11,410
Defense Program, I am a practicing immigration attorney, and I defend many

1424
01:48:11,410 --> 01:48:17,690
community members from deportation every day, I interact with San Diego resident immigrant working

1425
01:48:17,690 --> 01:48:23,770
class families who are suffering from the cruel mass deportation policy of this federal government.

1426
01:48:24,050 --> 01:48:28,210
For over a year now, the Trump administration has violently separated families,

1427
01:48:28,790 --> 01:48:34,010
kidnapped community members, surveilled and racially profiled black and brown communities.

1428
01:48:34,930 --> 01:48:37,890
At the night, you process and violated human rights of our communities.

1429
01:48:37,890 --> 01:48:43,250
This day, LDP has provided life-changing legal support to hundreds of San Diego families

1430
01:48:43,250 --> 01:48:48,730
caught in this new main policies, lastly, I implore to invest more in our youth, our

1431
01:48:48,730 --> 01:48:50,830
workers, our immigrant and refugee communities.

1432
01:48:51,150 --> 01:48:51,810
Thank you so much.

1433
01:48:57,210 --> 01:48:59,130
Hello, good morning Board of Supervisors.

1434
01:48:59,390 --> 01:49:00,370
My name is Sara Gonzalez.

1435
01:49:01,270 --> 01:49:03,870
I am a sociologist and education.

1436
01:49:04,310 --> 01:49:10,610
I live in District 1 by my service schools and youth from San Isidro all the way to Ocean

1437
01:49:10,610 --> 01:49:11,030
side.

1438
01:49:11,030 --> 01:49:18,230
So today I am presenting myself as the professional that I am to let you know that I didn't get here on my own.

1439
01:49:18,450 --> 01:49:24,250
I was sort of several interventions in the South Bay that allowed me to be able to get into higher education.

1440
01:49:25,050 --> 01:49:29,910
So therefore I wouldn't be here if it wouldn't be for those interventions in the past.

1441
01:49:30,150 --> 01:49:33,450
And nowadays we need more of those interventions for our youth.

1442
01:49:34,030 --> 01:49:40,290
So therefore I want to express my support for the revised budget on item eight.

1443
01:49:40,290 --> 01:49:47,910
specifically for the investment of the $250 study, a feasibility study for the DYD.

1444
01:49:48,170 --> 01:49:54,190
So research shows that youths mentorship reduces risk of it is rate increase pathways for

1445
01:49:54,190 --> 01:49:54,430
wellness.

1446
01:49:54,970 --> 01:50:00,070
Especially for youth that has been impacted by the system.

1447
01:50:01,210 --> 01:50:06,370
Thank you, I'd like to call the final two speakers, and Sermio Estrada and Moohamed.

1448
01:50:07,610 --> 01:50:10,990
Good morning. Good morning. My name is fortunate not a pain yet.

1449
01:50:11,250 --> 01:50:13,050
Can you hold that microphone down a little bit?

1450
01:50:13,870 --> 01:50:14,370
Thank you.

1451
01:50:14,810 --> 01:50:15,590
I'm sorry I'm short.

1452
01:50:16,930 --> 01:50:18,730
Okay. My name is fortunate a pain yet.

1453
01:50:19,010 --> 01:50:20,510
And I live in district five.

1454
01:50:20,710 --> 01:50:24,010
And I say SEI, you local 21, I unit member.

1455
01:50:24,950 --> 01:50:27,870
I have worked for the county of San Diego for eight years.

1456
01:50:27,970 --> 01:50:29,710
And I work in the tax collection department.

1457
01:50:30,510 --> 01:50:33,870
As a worker in the Treasury tax collector department,

1458
01:50:33,870 --> 01:50:41,070
We have concerns regarding staffing challenges and work-loads because it's efficient staffing is important for effective public service.

1459
01:50:41,870 --> 01:50:47,230
One example, there's one person's assigned to deliver mail to the departments.

1460
01:50:47,870 --> 01:50:53,230
On many occasions, this person gets pulled to go answer phones on the customer service line,

1461
01:50:53,630 --> 01:50:56,850
and that prevents them from delivering the mail to us on time.

1462
01:50:56,850 --> 01:51:02,750
And a lot of these calls that their answering as taxpayers obviously upset that the claims

1463
01:51:02,750 --> 01:51:03,830
haven't been processed.

1464
01:51:04,790 --> 01:51:07,930
We support this proposed budget, which includes five additional positions.

1465
01:51:08,490 --> 01:51:12,110
Thank you for investing in the staffing needed to support workers and serve our community

1466
01:51:12,110 --> 01:51:12,630
effectively.

1467
01:51:13,450 --> 01:51:16,910
Our community's deserve safety, dignity and opportunity to thrive.

1468
01:51:17,410 --> 01:51:18,870
Please continue to invest these services.

1469
01:51:19,250 --> 01:51:19,390
Thank you.

1470
01:51:20,170 --> 01:51:20,510
Thank you.

1471
01:51:22,070 --> 01:51:23,050
Next speaker, please.

1472
01:51:26,150 --> 01:51:26,650
Good morning.

1473
01:51:26,730 --> 01:51:28,010
My name is Rachel Azano Castro.

1474
01:51:28,010 --> 01:51:32,530
I'm a resident of District 4, although me and my family have lived in all five districts in San Diego.

1475
01:51:33,310 --> 01:51:36,570
I am a business owner, an employee, a homeowner, an entrepreneur, an activist,

1476
01:51:38,010 --> 01:51:40,230
been proud to call San Diego home since 2008.

1477
01:51:41,190 --> 01:51:43,290
My family's been in this country for generations.

1478
01:51:43,530 --> 01:51:44,950
I stand with refugees and immigrants.

1479
01:51:45,650 --> 01:51:46,750
I would like to thank the leadership.

1480
01:51:47,610 --> 01:51:51,790
I'm also with Panna and the CUNY Budget Alliance and many other coalitions.

1481
01:51:51,890 --> 01:51:54,610
I'm here to speak in favor of this budget and to thank the Board,

1482
01:51:54,610 --> 01:52:00,030
Supervisors for investing in quality of life for all Sandiagans, and I mean all, when this

1483
01:52:00,030 --> 01:52:04,070
County invests wisely, which I believe it is, trying to do, it lifts up long-time residents

1484
01:52:04,070 --> 01:52:08,190
and newcomers alike. That's the San Diego I get believe in, that's the San Diego I want to live in,

1485
01:52:08,190 --> 01:52:12,450
and that's the leadership I'm grateful to see from this board. I urge you to continue to support,

1486
01:52:13,110 --> 01:52:16,670
continue supporting the immigrant defense funds and the eviction diversion program,

1487
01:52:16,930 --> 01:52:21,770
which help keeps families safely housed, protects vulnerable residents, and strengthens our communities.

1488
01:52:21,770 --> 01:52:24,410
These are not just programs, these are lifelines.

1489
01:52:25,490 --> 01:52:27,710
And when we're working hard, we can work together.

1490
01:52:28,090 --> 01:52:28,310
Thank you.

1491
01:52:29,390 --> 01:52:29,530
Thank you.

1492
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:35,720
Good afternoon.

1493
01:52:36,460 --> 01:52:38,460
I'm setting my check of strata with the San Diego Building and Construction

1494
01:52:38,460 --> 01:52:39,200
Trade Council.

1495
01:52:39,360 --> 01:52:40,760
We have members across this county.

1496
01:52:41,020 --> 01:52:47,960
I'm here to be in Solidarity with CBA with SCIU Local 2-2-1 with everybody here that

1497
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:54,360
is asking you to meet what is clearly barbarism from the Trump administration and his Republican

1498
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:59,800
and neighbors in Congress through things like massive tax cuts with HR1 to meet that head

1499
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:03,340
on with good governments and with moral clarity and that's what this budget is.

1500
01:53:03,480 --> 01:53:08,100
This is an opportunity to flip the script for local governments about what is public safety.

1501
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:12,880
It's investing in food security, it's investing in homes for San Diego, it's investing

1502
01:53:12,880 --> 01:53:17,960
in an immigration defense fund that keeps San Diego against with their families when a government

1503
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:19,760
is trying to actually rip them apart.

1504
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:24,980
These things have consequences for our communities and this board, this budget that you all, we've

1505
01:53:24,980 --> 01:53:30,140
voted on is the first step and then answering that head on and please make sure this goes forward.

1506
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:31,120
Thank you.

1507
01:53:32,020 --> 01:53:32,340
Thank you.

1508
01:53:35,410 --> 01:53:36,070
Next speaker, please.

1509
01:53:37,090 --> 01:53:37,470
Good morning.

1510
01:53:37,930 --> 01:53:38,910
My name is Muhammad Omar.

1511
01:53:38,970 --> 01:53:43,210
I'm with the partnership of the advancement of new Americans and I'm also a district resident

1512
01:53:43,210 --> 01:53:44,110
of District 4.

1513
01:53:44,410 --> 01:53:50,330
I'm here today to express my strong support for continue funding of the global village, the

1514
01:53:50,330 --> 01:53:53,490
addiction division program and the immigrant legal defense fund.

1515
01:53:54,170 --> 01:53:56,730
The global village is more than an affordable housing development.

1516
01:53:56,870 --> 01:54:02,190
It is a long-term investment in housing stability, economic opportunity and community resilience

1517
01:54:02,190 --> 01:54:09,790
with over 144 deeply affordable homes, culture and civic spaces and a trusted community

1518
01:54:09,790 --> 01:54:10,230
hub.

1519
01:54:10,430 --> 01:54:12,570
It was served families for generations to come.

1520
01:54:13,270 --> 01:54:18,050
At the same time, the addiction division program helps keep families safely housed and

1521
01:54:18,050 --> 01:54:22,250
prevent homelessness before it begins while the immigrant legal defense, when it

1522
01:54:22,250 --> 01:54:27,630
is sure that vulnerable residents have access to legal representation and due process

1523
01:54:27,630 --> 01:54:32,510
together, this investment strength and housing stability, public safety, emergency preparedness

1524
01:54:32,510 --> 01:54:37,890
and economic opportunity for all syndicants. I respectfully urge you to continue supporting

1525
01:54:37,890 --> 01:54:40,490
this critical opportunity. Thank you.

1526
01:54:42,290 --> 01:54:43,010
Next speaker, please.

1527
01:54:46,260 --> 01:54:47,040
Good morning, Board.

1528
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:57,560
I'm proud to be part of a community that has shown up time and time again to engage in this budget, and I look forward to doing it again.

1529
01:54:58,040 --> 01:55:03,860
Working class communities, communities of color and young people help shape this budget, and I'd like to acknowledge the board and

1530
01:55:03,860 --> 01:55:07,900
CAO team that listened when San Diego spoke clearly about what they need to thrive.

1531
01:55:08,700 --> 01:55:12,100
We urge you to approve their revised recommended budget, but our work is far from done.

1532
01:55:12,860 --> 01:55:16,820
The county has taken important steps forward in promoting workers' rights and fighting wage theft.

1533
01:55:16,820 --> 01:55:21,940
Given the scale of which theft and how impact Sandiagan's ability to pay for rent, food and

1534
01:55:21,940 --> 01:55:25,840
other living expenses, when your continued leadership and partnership to strengthen

1535
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:29,540
ulse and make our county one where all working families can thrive.

1536
01:55:30,340 --> 01:55:36,200
Over $2 billion for criminalization, prop36, and systems that harm our youth do not help

1537
01:55:36,200 --> 01:55:37,140
us achieve that vision.

1538
01:55:37,740 --> 01:55:41,420
We must invest in real safety, which comes from stability, opportunity, and dignity.

1539
01:55:41,900 --> 01:55:42,280
Thank you.

1540
01:55:45,580 --> 01:55:46,940
Thank you.

1541
01:55:49,660 --> 01:55:50,260
Next speaker please.

1542
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:53,240
All right.

1543
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:53,720
Good morning.

1544
01:55:53,780 --> 01:55:54,940
My name is Aaron Huy.

1545
01:55:55,020 --> 01:55:58,940
I'm president and co-founder of Carpidium, I'll reach with youth mentoring and organization

1546
01:55:58,940 --> 01:56:02,600
in North County that he's social and emotional learning to restore the practice.

1547
01:56:02,940 --> 01:56:04,140
I'm part of district five.

1548
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:08,580
I stay in here today, not just as a community member, but as someone who was incarcerated

1549
01:56:08,580 --> 01:56:13,460
that's 16 years old and spent the next 27 and a half years inside the system we're talking about.

1550
01:56:13,580 --> 01:56:17,220
I speak for lived experience and research when I say we deserve better.

1551
01:56:17,220 --> 01:56:23,440
San Diego's juvenile justice system was still rooted in punishment and punishment has never healed the young person and didn't heal me

1552
01:56:23,440 --> 01:56:28,600
But change my life with education and mentorship and accountability and people who believe I was more than my worst moment

1553
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:33,740
That's what the Department of Youth Development represents a care force model that actually works

1554
01:56:33,740 --> 01:56:35,620
Organizations like

1555
01:56:35,620 --> 01:56:39,120
Carpadeum outreach community wraparound

1556
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:41,000
Miss Eddie Ken

1557
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:44,580
Show us possible when we invest and you face that of incarcerated

1558
01:56:44,580 --> 01:56:47,680
We work directly with the young people across North County,

1559
01:56:47,900 --> 01:56:49,420
helping our building most known intelligence leadership

1560
01:56:49,420 --> 01:56:50,340
and community connection.

1561
01:56:50,960 --> 01:56:52,520
The things that truly prevent harm.

1562
01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:53,600
So thank you, Ben.

1563
01:56:54,160 --> 01:56:54,740
Thank you.

1564
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:56,040
Thank you.

1565
01:56:56,140 --> 01:56:56,680
You're welcome.

1566
01:56:56,760 --> 01:56:59,600
I'd like to invite for Ramah Abdi, and then do a final call

1567
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:01,520
for the speakers I previously called,

1568
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:03,780
Vanessa Melendra's,

1569
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:08,120
and how am I already a SEFI.

1570
01:57:08,240 --> 01:57:09,480
I've caught your name and please come forward.

1571
01:57:11,260 --> 01:57:11,720
Good morning.

1572
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:13,440
My name is Rahma Abdi.

1573
01:57:13,460 --> 01:57:15,560
I'm the Director of Organizing with Pana

1574
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,220
and also a member of CBA.

1575
01:57:18,060 --> 01:57:20,280
Thank you for supporting global village

1576
01:57:20,280 --> 01:57:21,960
in mid-Street and Diego.

1577
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:24,500
Your support means a lot to refugee and immigrant families,

1578
01:57:24,900 --> 01:57:25,660
like mine.

1579
01:57:25,940 --> 01:57:28,160
Today you're not just helping build a project,

1580
01:57:28,340 --> 01:57:29,680
you're helping build a legacy.

1581
01:57:30,620 --> 01:57:34,080
Many years from now, families may not remember every meeting

1582
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:38,420
or vote, but they will remember the leaders who believe in them.

1583
01:57:38,900 --> 01:57:42,620
They will remember that your investment in places where

1584
01:57:42,620 --> 01:57:46,820
family and family can find support and information for opportunity.

1585
01:57:47,340 --> 01:57:50,380
The global village will be there, will be that buildings.

1586
01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:55,560
It will be a place of hope, it will be a place where families can learn and connect and grow.

1587
01:57:55,900 --> 01:58:00,760
A place where every people can get information in their language, they understand.

1588
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:03,060
They place where no one feels left behind.

1589
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:07,320
It means our family will be better prepared during the emergency.

1590
01:58:07,900 --> 01:58:11,180
Your investment today will help families for many years to come.

1591
01:58:11,180 --> 01:58:17,760
It's important. It's important not only stop the, this generation. Thank you. In terms of, thank you.

1592
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:21,920
Next speaker please.

1593
01:58:24,080 --> 01:58:27,640
Hello, my name is Hamira. I used to feel the partnership for the

1594
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:34,680
advancement of new Americans, which is a member of the Community Budget Alliance CBA. I'm here to

1595
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:42,400
urge you all to approve this budget. It will provide much needed funding to so many projects, including

1596
01:58:42,400 --> 01:58:49,080
the Immigration Leads Defense Project, and I particularly want to express my appreciation

1597
01:58:49,080 --> 01:58:56,880
to Supervisor Monica Montgomery-Stack, Lawson-Memer and a Gide for your support of the

1598
01:58:56,880 --> 01:59:03,480
Global Village Project, which will benefit the entire region for generations to come.

1599
01:59:03,980 --> 01:59:10,260
This project will not only build much needed, deeply affordable homes, it will create long-term

1600
01:59:10,260 --> 01:59:16,120
investment in historically underserved communities while this project is in the choice

1601
01:59:16,120 --> 01:59:22,460
Creek Quarter in the mid-city region. It will serve the entire county. There is a huge

1602
01:59:22,460 --> 01:59:27,760
need for trusted culturally appropriate spaces and decides to turn emergency relief. So thank

1603
01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:28,380
you so much.

1604
01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:29,480
Thank you.

1605
01:59:29,660 --> 01:59:33,340
Well now here from the individuals that request to speak by phone. Again, when it is your

1606
01:59:33,340 --> 01:59:36,760
turn to speak, you will be unmuted and you will hear a recording that will tell you to

1607
01:59:36,760 --> 01:59:39,420
begin your comments. We will start with our first caller.

1608
01:59:47,680 --> 01:59:55,600
I'm 35 notes that you want to spend 9 million on permanent road division this year, but

1609
01:59:55,600 --> 01:59:58,980
there are only 2 million next out of fiscal year.

1610
01:59:59,440 --> 01:59:59,980
You want to...

1611
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,420
Infleds are now coming any time of years of this doesn't make sense.

1612
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:10,960
Just to fix these yourselves, instead of creating paradises of the homelanders, it's don't know

1613
02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:17,440
about, and then using them like your personal piggy bank. Many of the residents are lowering

1614
02:00:17,440 --> 02:00:23,720
them, and this makes mockery of your commitment to helping lowering people and keeps them down

1615
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:30,100
are a scrims open. After all this, the revised budget does not take into account the

1616
02:00:30,100 --> 02:00:35,720
control impact where I did the governor's may revise and the Fed budget protecting our

1617
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:41,360
nylon diet gas. And our economy is not going up at the end of the day.

1618
02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:43,900
You can see the next color.

1619
02:00:52,940 --> 02:00:55,060
Um, I'm slow up here.

1620
02:00:57,630 --> 02:01:02,550
It's amazing how, you know, it's the ill informed public,

1621
02:01:02,550 --> 02:01:07,870
begging the out of touch. Most disturbing things that I've heard in this meeting is from the

1622
02:01:07,870 --> 02:01:14,650
youth thing. We can't do it all by ourselves. Another saying, we believe it is in combat for our

1623
02:01:14,650 --> 02:01:20,890
local government to do everything in its power to protect its constituents. Mission accomplished

1624
02:01:21,510 --> 02:01:27,150
government has successfully brainwashed and programmed the people into fully believing that they can't

1625
02:01:27,150 --> 02:01:35,570
it without it. The same system that creates the problem is looked up to and sought out our

1626
02:01:35,570 --> 02:01:43,510
health and resolutions. Not only sick, but it's beyond abusive. And most, having a clue,

1627
02:01:43,710 --> 02:01:48,710
unfortunately, that this board is responsible for the majority of, if not all our county budget

1628
02:01:48,710 --> 02:01:54,990
issues. The presentation mentioned stewardship, you are delusional board, if you believe you are

1629
02:01:54,990 --> 02:01:55,910
We were more.

1630
02:01:58,570 --> 02:01:59,330
Good

1631
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:12,880
morning, my name is Becky Rapp, and as you adopt this $9 billion budget, I urge

1632
02:02:12,880 --> 02:02:19,660
you to ensure that marijuana-related expenditures receive the same level of scrutiny and accountability

1633
02:02:19,660 --> 02:02:21,940
as any other county program.

1634
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:27,640
Over the past several years, significant staff time and public resources have been devoted

1635
02:02:27,640 --> 02:02:31,520
to marijuana policy, regulation, and social equity planning.

1636
02:02:32,380 --> 02:02:36,500
Taxpayers deserve a clear accounting of how much money has been spent.

1637
02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:40,700
At the same time, I encourage the county to invest more in prevention.

1638
02:02:41,340 --> 02:02:44,760
If we're serious about supporting youth health and well-being,

1639
02:02:45,180 --> 02:02:50,160
marijuana prevention education should be incorporated into the department of youth development.

1640
02:02:50,160 --> 02:03:02,280
Use young people today are facing increasingly potent marijuana products, rising rates of mental health challenges and exposure to messages that normalize drug use.

1641
02:03:03,260 --> 02:03:07,760
Prevention is far less costly than treatment, emergency response or addressing.

1642
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:10,800
Good

1643
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:35,140
morning, my name is Ibrahim Nuru. I'm a business owner. I'll say a word this. I would like to talk in favor of supporting the budget approval. I just want to give a testimony when we are in trouble with my landlord.

1644
02:03:35,140 --> 02:03:43,300
I have to go to Pana for a legal support and they found us a person who could do pro bono

1645
02:03:43,300 --> 02:03:50,380
because we can't afford it and this is a clear and clear way of supporting immigrant business owners

1646
02:03:50,380 --> 02:03:55,920
also providing a American business system by giving them what's missing on them.

1647
02:03:56,460 --> 02:04:04,120
I support strongly this project as well because it means a small support so that we could exceed

1648
02:04:04,120 --> 02:04:10,780
taxid and American economy so that would be extra food business owners helping our community

1649
02:04:10,780 --> 02:04:15,280
to grow up, flourish in American system. Thank you so much.

1650
02:04:17,680 --> 02:04:18,040
Thank you.

1651
02:04:19,600 --> 02:04:21,080
Well, here from the next caller.

1652
02:04:29,770 --> 02:04:30,310
Hey, and Joe,

1653
02:04:30,350 --> 02:04:33,350
Propagers, it's truth, overpaid, Monica and many.

1654
02:04:33,550 --> 02:04:37,810
Evan says that there's no deficit with an over-inflated budget of $9.1 billion,

1655
02:04:38,250 --> 02:04:41,870
yet they've rated our reserves and follow money to their private campaign coffers.

1656
02:04:41,870 --> 02:04:45,210
We need less staff and salaries and more CRT and fire.

1657
02:04:45,710 --> 02:04:49,830
The thickest long neglected VISTA gels only getting a measly $3 million while union

1658
02:04:49,830 --> 02:04:53,550
campaign funders and say you got $14.4 million of our tax dollars.

1659
02:04:54,050 --> 02:04:57,670
You sued the HR for you allowed VISTA to deteriorate and inmates the sufferer and

1660
02:04:57,670 --> 02:04:58,510
deplorable conditions.

1661
02:04:59,010 --> 02:05:01,870
With child abuse allegations at the East, Mesa facility and

1662
02:05:01,870 --> 02:05:03,610
Polinsky hit for crips.

1663
02:05:04,010 --> 02:05:07,570
Unlike the building construction trades count of lies, real public safety

1664
02:05:07,570 --> 02:05:11,990
foreign mitigation, more firefighting helicopters, brush management, and better fire station

1665
02:05:11,990 --> 02:05:12,690
conditions.

1666
02:05:13,130 --> 02:05:17,090
Instead of wasting our cats or a suing fire truck companies, give out grants to cities to

1667
02:05:17,090 --> 02:05:18,590
improve conditions for firefighters.

1668
02:05:19,430 --> 02:05:23,810
And no to many sewage pipe extensions would benefit Mexico and no to giving illegal aliens

1669
02:05:23,810 --> 02:05:28,630
$12 million of our budget to protect criminals like the Skumbag and killed eight-year-old

1670
02:05:28,630 --> 02:05:31,830
Yeah, since he accrues in Julian, how about the 40-year-old?

1671
02:05:32,990 --> 02:05:34,350
Do you hear from your next caller?

1672
02:05:42,170 --> 02:05:48,030
Actor, I say on the Leo thing, only give legal money to the legal

1673
02:05:48,030 --> 02:05:53,990
emigrants that need lawyers. You're not giving any money to the

1674
02:05:54,850 --> 02:06:00,270
uh... is that any legal emigrant? So all the legal emigrants get their fees.

1675
02:06:00,930 --> 02:06:05,050
And then on the marijuana thing, let's keep it amongst the dark people.

1676
02:06:05,050 --> 02:06:10,530
less than we lose their souls. That's a good one. And the village thing, the

1677
02:06:10,530 --> 02:06:15,050
Immagent Village, makes you got a lot of cameras and a lot of license plates

1678
02:06:15,050 --> 02:06:22,150
readers, because the orange man is coming with eyes. And they also offer three

1679
02:06:22,150 --> 02:06:27,130
health care now in Mexico. So if you need health care, go to the Mexico, it's

1680
02:06:27,130 --> 02:06:32,530
free. And then also you get a thousand dollars if you self-deport. So don't

1681
02:06:32,530 --> 02:06:35,370
we're not trying to help you guys to get out of here.

1682
02:06:35,710 --> 02:06:40,470
Thousands of dollars to self-deport, and you can take your blue lines for free.

1683
02:06:40,970 --> 02:06:45,810
They won't give you a ticket if they're hadn't self-deployed, I don't know what you want to say.

1684
02:06:46,110 --> 02:06:47,930
Thank you for the next caller.

1685
02:06:54,900 --> 02:06:59,620
Pam, wow, and it's sticking to watch these activists begging for money to perpetuate chaos.

1686
02:07:00,240 --> 02:07:03,660
Many of the public speakers today must not have access to the use in this county.

1687
02:07:03,660 --> 02:07:08,220
This part has illusions that can manage the multi-pointed dollar budget even with extended

1688
02:07:08,220 --> 02:07:08,880
terms.

1689
02:07:09,420 --> 02:07:13,800
Immigrants, illegal, and otherwise are not new Americans, and should not be prioritized

1690
02:07:13,800 --> 02:07:15,560
over American citizens in need.

1691
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:19,900
No money to the anti-American anti-syllentization global village.

1692
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:22,100
Consider two Supreme Court Winston.

1693
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:26,640
Migrants turn away the border before entering the U.S. are not entitled to apply for its

1694
02:07:26,640 --> 02:07:27,060
line-up.

1695
02:07:27,520 --> 02:07:32,640
And no judicial relief postponing the revocation of temporary protective status of Haitians

1696
02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:33,640
and Syrian nationals.

1697
02:07:34,340 --> 02:07:38,700
So therefore, no money for the illegal immigrant defense son, criminals must be deported

1698
02:07:38,700 --> 02:07:39,880
not cuddle.

1699
02:07:40,700 --> 02:07:41,920
Sorry, I'm walking him out of breath.

1700
02:07:42,580 --> 02:07:46,760
No funding to special privileges to individuals based on their sexual behavior and preferences.

1701
02:07:47,520 --> 02:07:53,100
But wrong enforcement from court services above all else, top television, American citizens,

1702
02:07:57,180 --> 02:07:58,060
Thank you.

1703
02:07:58,220 --> 02:07:59,120
Here from the next caller.

1704
02:07:59,120 --> 02:07:59,860
What's

1705
02:08:07,090 --> 02:08:11,350
cost Simpson? I'm 20 years old. I'm currently in Fresno right now, but I did

1706
02:08:11,350 --> 02:08:17,790
for five and a half years in East Mesa and in DJJ. I'm currently a student at Fresno State.

1707
02:08:17,850 --> 02:08:22,210
I lost my own business. I'm like graduated while I was incarcerated. And all these things

1708
02:08:22,210 --> 02:08:26,350
are positive because of the support that I did receive. But this support was not given

1709
02:08:26,350 --> 02:08:30,990
to me by the systems in place and by the structures that have been built within these systems.

1710
02:08:32,910 --> 02:08:38,170
organizations like the day was heart foundation, home girls look at our son, and SBFF South

1711
02:08:38,170 --> 02:08:39,250
Baker Community Services.

1712
02:08:40,010 --> 02:08:43,870
And people like that allow me to get to the place where I'm at now, with this funding

1713
02:08:43,870 --> 02:08:44,750
with this support.

1714
02:08:45,510 --> 02:08:49,330
All the youth who've been in the system as well, can get the same kind of support.

1715
02:08:50,470 --> 02:08:52,350
So I think we appreciate all of you guys for coming on here.

1716
02:08:53,130 --> 02:08:57,270
But I've really experienced how the support I have, I have the...

1717
02:08:57,270 --> 02:09:00,270
All the people around and everyone who's just essentially here do the right thing.

1718
02:09:00,270 --> 02:09:04,870
There's no negative or ulterior motives, there's no monetary gain from this, it's generally

1719
02:09:04,870 --> 02:09:08,610
just a support and the genuine desire to build people up in our communities.

1720
02:09:09,150 --> 02:09:09,610
So, thank you.

1721
02:09:11,180 --> 02:09:12,080
That's from the final color.

1722
02:09:26,810 --> 02:09:27,290
Beekman,

1723
02:09:29,710 --> 02:09:35,210
player beekman, I do not attend enough for the civilizing meetings.

1724
02:09:35,430 --> 02:09:39,810
I wish I did as a public, as a person from the public, I've been living in San Diego for

1725
02:09:39,810 --> 02:09:41,050
over four years now.

1726
02:09:41,330 --> 02:09:48,560
There has been many issues in dealing with a new jail in Santa Clara County where it comes

1727
02:09:48,560 --> 02:09:50,260
from San Jose area.

1728
02:09:50,580 --> 02:09:52,020
We're working on that a lot.

1729
02:09:52,460 --> 02:09:55,300
Nice dialogue today, asking that if you build the jail,

1730
02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:58,380
you have to be considering all the other social programs

1731
02:09:58,380 --> 02:10:00,480
we can be doing in this place.

1732
02:10:00,480 --> 02:10:02,020
That has to be first and foremost.

1733
02:10:02,880 --> 02:10:04,540
And with that, there's been so many deaths

1734
02:10:04,540 --> 02:10:07,200
that are county jail here in San Diego.

1735
02:10:07,640 --> 02:10:09,040
The same as in Santa Clara County.

1736
02:10:09,160 --> 02:10:11,780
Can you guys work together to solve this death issue

1737
02:10:11,780 --> 02:10:14,460
and learn to limit the amount of death

1738
02:10:14,460 --> 02:10:16,880
before anything you build in the future?

1739
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:23,180
And good luck on budget practices in working towards social equity first and then austerity.

1740
02:10:23,620 --> 02:10:25,600
We're doing, we're learning good lessons in San Diego City.

1741
02:10:25,740 --> 02:10:26,500
Good luck in your efforts.

1742
02:10:26,780 --> 02:10:27,600
Thank you.

1743
02:10:29,290 --> 02:10:30,190
Thank you.

1744
02:10:30,230 --> 02:10:33,430
Chair Lawson, remember that concludes public comment on this item.

1745
02:10:34,970 --> 02:10:35,290
Okay.

1746
02:10:36,130 --> 02:10:37,030
Thank you very much.

1747
02:10:37,430 --> 02:10:43,050
First, I just want to take a moment to thank all of our public commenters and our speakers.

1748
02:10:43,390 --> 02:10:45,110
Thank you for your participation today.

1749
02:10:45,110 --> 02:10:48,750
But really, thank you for your participation in this entire budget process.

1750
02:10:49,370 --> 02:10:55,550
We've really been moving over the last number of years to try to create a more inclusive

1751
02:10:55,550 --> 02:11:01,390
budgeting process that creates avenues for input and participation in collaboration on

1752
02:11:01,390 --> 02:11:02,650
shaping our county's budget.

1753
02:11:02,870 --> 02:11:08,370
Much earlier in the process, so that hopefully by the time we get to this point that the budget

1754
02:11:08,370 --> 02:11:11,770
can reflect the major needs and priorities of our community.

1755
02:11:13,070 --> 02:11:20,770
Today, we are voting on a balanced budget, and I think it's a pretty extraordinary budget.

1756
02:11:21,090 --> 02:11:39,050
It protects the core services that Sandigons count on public safety, fire, emergency response, behavioral health, health care, food assistance, homeless services, veteran services, parks, libraries, arts, roads, and the day-to-day work of our county government.

1757
02:11:39,810 --> 02:11:47,870
This is a responsible budget, it's a balanced budget, I think it's a visionary budget, and it is a budget built for the moment that we are in.

1758
02:11:48,490 --> 02:11:51,050
Because this is not a normal year.

1759
02:11:51,750 --> 02:12:00,930
The Trump administration has been pushing costs and paperwork on accountants across America, including San Diego County, and this budget prepares us to respond.

1760
02:12:00,930 --> 02:12:11,890
We also continue to face a difficult environment of increasing costs, increasing crisis of rising gas prices, affordability, rising housing costs.

1761
02:12:12,610 --> 02:12:15,070
And this budget meets that moment.

1762
02:12:15,790 --> 02:12:18,470
The budget also protects public safety.

1763
02:12:18,870 --> 02:12:26,390
Public safety means firefighters with the staffing and the helicopters that they need when a wild fire breaks out.

1764
02:12:26,390 --> 02:12:31,490
We are adding fire suppression positions, helicopters and other safety equipment.

1765
02:12:33,150 --> 02:12:39,610
We have added 187 law enforcement and fire positions since joining the board.

1766
02:12:40,790 --> 02:12:47,530
This budget also protects due process, because I believe we should live in a country where

1767
02:12:47,530 --> 02:12:52,990
the government cannot pull you off the street, lock you up, away from your family, and force

1768
02:12:52,990 --> 02:12:57,690
to face deportation alone, simply because you cannot afford an attorney.

1769
02:12:58,470 --> 02:13:03,130
That is the rule of law, that is the constitution, and defending the constitution is public

1770
02:13:03,130 --> 02:13:03,590
safety.

1771
02:13:04,730 --> 02:13:10,350
This budget also cuts waste and inefficiencies and makes our government work better.

1772
02:13:11,210 --> 02:13:17,610
We are modernizing outdated phone systems, getting rid of fax machines, reducing leasing costs,

1773
02:13:17,610 --> 02:13:24,530
And doing so many other small adjustments so that our county can continue working in big ways.

1774
02:13:25,230 --> 02:13:31,010
I'd like to thank our county staff or CIO, I've been each Shelton and every department that worked with us on this budget.

1775
02:13:31,110 --> 02:13:37,170
It has not been an easy year, but we are stronger because of this hard work.

1776
02:13:38,090 --> 02:13:41,350
But I also would like to be honest that we are not out of the woods.

1777
02:13:41,990 --> 02:13:46,950
This budget gets us through this year and sets us on a good path for the next few years.

1778
02:13:46,950 --> 02:13:59,390
But coming years could be even harder, we're facing hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs and cuts depending on what happens in both Washington and Sacramento.

1779
02:14:00,450 --> 02:14:04,710
So this vote is incredibly important, it's extraordinarily important.

1780
02:14:05,430 --> 02:14:08,470
But it is not the end of our work, it is the beginning of the next phase.

1781
02:14:08,970 --> 02:14:14,390
We will need to keep working, keep fighting, keep talking, and keep finding solutions for our community.

1782
02:14:14,390 --> 02:14:27,890
So I'm proud to support this budget, it is balanced, it's responsible, it invests in all the key programs that I think are so essential to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community and fighting for working families.

1783
02:14:28,910 --> 02:14:31,550
But we are not done with this work.

1784
02:14:32,210 --> 02:14:42,610
So I would like to begin our conversation discussion at the board by making a motion to number one, approve the CS Change Letter, which is recommendation number one.

1785
02:14:42,610 --> 02:14:50,070
Number two, approve the remaining staff recommendations listed in the item as recommendations three through five.

1786
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:17,000
In item 8, and recommendations 1, and 3 in item 9, as well as all the staff recommendations in the fire protection district, like control district, and home supportive services, public authority, redevelopment, successor, agency, and the sanitation district agendas.

1787
02:15:17,640 --> 02:15:29,160
So again, that's a motion to approve the C.S. Change letter, which is recommendation 1, approve the remaining staff recommendations listed as recommendation 3 through 5 and 9 to 8, and recommendation 1 and 3 and 9 to 9.

1788
02:15:29,160 --> 02:15:34,740
and all the staff recommendations in fire protection district, flood control district, in

1789
02:15:34,740 --> 02:15:38,600
home support services public authority, redevelopment, success, or agency and sanitation

1790
02:15:38,600 --> 02:15:39,420
district agenda.

1791
02:15:40,300 --> 02:15:43,220
With that, I will turn the chair over to the vice chair.

1792
02:15:43,280 --> 02:15:45,480
Excuse me, turn the floor over to the vice chair.

1793
02:15:46,080 --> 02:15:48,460
Thank you so much, chair Lasson Rimmer.

1794
02:15:49,100 --> 02:15:54,160
I want to start by thanking our Chief Administrative Officer of Any Shelton, the Assistant

1795
02:15:54,160 --> 02:16:01,120
and Chief Financial Officer, Joan Bracky and the entire county team for their extraordinary

1796
02:16:01,120 --> 02:16:06,640
tremendous work in developing the revised recommended operational plan for the next two

1797
02:16:06,640 --> 02:16:07,680
fiscal years.

1798
02:16:08,200 --> 02:16:12,820
Also, I want to thank the county, Combs Department, specifically Tammy Glenn and Natalia

1799
02:16:12,820 --> 02:16:17,640
Hintrell for welcoming my team at the Budget Pop-up event at the Southeastern Liberal

1800
02:16:17,640 --> 02:16:22,560
Center and the Community Budget Open House at the County Operations Center.

1801
02:16:22,560 --> 02:16:29,060
Meeting full community engagement is essential to shaping a budget that reflects the diverse needs of our county.

1802
02:16:29,700 --> 02:16:37,160
And my staff had valuable conversations at both events, conversations that are vital to producing the budget before us today.

1803
02:16:38,100 --> 02:16:45,340
An important point the revised recommended budget makes clear is that it does not account for potential impacts from state or federal budget changes.

1804
02:16:45,760 --> 02:16:49,360
And it is important that we acknowledge that uncertainty directly.

1805
02:16:49,360 --> 02:16:55,860
The Federal Government's decision to prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy, resulting in significant

1806
02:16:55,860 --> 02:17:02,940
reductions to healthcare access and food assistance has put more than 314,000 of our county's

1807
02:17:02,940 --> 02:17:11,820
medical members and 93,500 calfresh recipients at risk of losing the support they rely on.

1808
02:17:12,880 --> 02:17:19,120
HR1 also known as the big beautiful bill is not a mistake. It is a deliberate policy choice

1809
02:17:19,120 --> 02:17:20,620
and a harmful one.

1810
02:17:21,220 --> 02:17:22,980
Taking food away from struggling families

1811
02:17:22,980 --> 02:17:24,840
is not build stronger communities.

1812
02:17:25,380 --> 02:17:28,080
It creates instability, hardship, and a risk,

1813
02:17:28,140 --> 02:17:29,980
and a greater risk of homelessness.

1814
02:17:31,020 --> 02:17:33,260
And taking healthcare away disproportionately

1815
02:17:33,260 --> 02:17:36,460
from low income households, immigrants, communities

1816
02:17:36,460 --> 02:17:40,080
of color, intensifies, intensifies,

1817
02:17:40,600 --> 02:17:43,380
existing inequities, worsens, health outcomes,

1818
02:17:43,720 --> 02:17:46,640
and pushes vulnerable families even closer to crisis.

1819
02:17:46,640 --> 02:17:54,980
There is nothing beautiful about making it harder for people to access the support that they need to remain healthy, housed, and fed.

1820
02:17:56,040 --> 02:18:01,880
While I cannot change the decisions made in Washington, we can act here at home and we have.

1821
02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:08,480
The budget before us today represents a proactive and essential response to protect our most vulnerable residents.

1822
02:18:08,480 --> 02:18:16,740
In the recommended budget, I've advocated for and supported 44 million, 44.7 million for

1823
02:18:16,740 --> 02:18:22,820
safety net services, advancing our equity and health priorities, 5 million for the global

1824
02:18:22,820 --> 02:18:26,300
village led by the partnership for the advancement of new Americans.

1825
02:18:26,840 --> 02:18:34,640
This is a critical investment in a network of wrap-around services and emergency services, including

1826
02:18:34,640 --> 02:18:38,840
housing opportunities for refugee immigrant and low-income families.

1827
02:18:40,520 --> 02:18:43,940
$600,000 for tenant legal aid services ensuring

1828
02:18:43,940 --> 02:18:47,820
ranchers facing housing instability have access to the legal support

1829
02:18:47,820 --> 02:18:51,900
necessary to remain safely housed and also just want to

1830
02:18:51,900 --> 02:18:54,660
bring up really quick advocacy for the public

1831
02:18:54,660 --> 02:18:58,000
defender's office to receive additional resources so they

1832
02:18:58,000 --> 02:19:01,840
can support when we are mandated to do to provide

1833
02:19:01,840 --> 02:19:04,140
and the defense for indigent community.

1834
02:19:05,340 --> 02:19:07,740
In the revised recommended budget,

1835
02:19:08,420 --> 02:19:12,640
I wholeheartedly support the $500,000 allocation

1836
02:19:12,640 --> 02:19:18,160
to mass fresco, the mass fresco plus program

1837
02:19:18,160 --> 02:19:21,000
to increase health access to healthy foods

1838
02:19:21,000 --> 02:19:25,220
and boost consumption, particularly among populations

1839
02:19:25,220 --> 02:19:30,200
with health disparities, the $250,000 allocation

1840
02:19:30,200 --> 02:19:36,060
for a feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development, a crucial first step toward

1841
02:19:36,060 --> 02:19:41,840
identifying the full range of youth development services that county can offer and understanding

1842
02:19:41,840 --> 02:19:47,020
how to better address disparities in youth outcomes across regions and demographics.

1843
02:19:48,180 --> 02:19:53,100
And the budgetary actions taken to formally establish the behavioral health services as a

1844
02:19:53,100 --> 02:19:58,760
standalone county department. When my office first advanced this major structural reform,

1845
02:19:58,760 --> 02:20:04,640
we did so recognizing that Sen Diego County needed a behavioral health system designed for today's

1846
02:20:04,640 --> 02:20:07,980
realities, not one built nearly three decades ago.

1847
02:20:08,580 --> 02:20:14,360
This separation is far more than an administrative reorganization, as an independent department

1848
02:20:14,360 --> 02:20:20,080
VHS will be better positioned to expand provider networks, improve care coordination,

1849
02:20:20,740 --> 02:20:27,240
modernized data and technology systems, enhance financial oversight and respond more rapidly

1850
02:20:27,240 --> 02:20:33,220
and effectively to the needs of individuals experiencing serious mental illness and substance

1851
02:20:33,220 --> 02:20:34,040
use disorders.

1852
02:20:35,100 --> 02:20:40,600
These are precisely the improvements the state now expects counties to deliver and my board

1853
02:20:40,600 --> 02:20:45,800
action paired with the budget re-alignment insurance San Diego is not only keeping pace

1854
02:20:45,800 --> 02:20:47,000
but leading the way.

1855
02:20:47,900 --> 02:20:52,840
All of these investments in our communities ensure that residents are not left behind and that

1856
02:20:52,840 --> 02:20:58,400
access to critical services is preserved, especially for individuals who may experience temporary

1857
02:20:58,400 --> 02:21:03,120
gaps in support created by federal, not local policy shifts.

1858
02:21:04,040 --> 02:21:07,120
From the moment we saw these threats emerging, we acted.

1859
02:21:07,380 --> 02:21:12,720
We developed a plan, secure the necessary resources, build strong partnerships, and today

1860
02:21:12,720 --> 02:21:15,360
through this budget we are delivering on that commitment.

1861
02:21:16,400 --> 02:21:21,600
Lastly, I have full confidence in our CAO, our incident command structure, and our Department

1862
02:21:21,600 --> 02:21:27,160
to finance to closely monitor and proactively address any emerging fiscal challenges.

1863
02:21:28,200 --> 02:21:32,580
Their leadership and fiscal stewardship ensure the county remains stable and prepared,

1864
02:21:33,400 --> 02:21:37,000
regardless of what adjustments may be required in the months of head ahead.

1865
02:21:38,520 --> 02:21:43,440
Thank you again to county staff for your countless hours of analysis and coordination that

1866
02:21:43,440 --> 02:21:46,400
went into producing this thoughtful and balanced budget.

1867
02:21:46,920 --> 02:21:49,520
And most importantly, thank you to the community.

1868
02:21:51,060 --> 02:21:56,440
Both to those that are here today and those who participate throughout this process.

1869
02:21:57,040 --> 02:22:02,640
Your engagement, your stories, your advocacy guides our priorities and hold us accountable.

1870
02:22:03,900 --> 02:22:08,820
We do our best work when it is in partnership with you and I'm grateful for your continued

1871
02:22:08,820 --> 02:22:13,940
involvement and willingness to shake the future of San Diego County and with that I

1872
02:22:13,940 --> 02:22:14,720
will second the most.

1873
02:22:16,620 --> 02:22:19,540
Thank you so much Vice Chair, Chair Pertima Giri.

1874
02:22:20,660 --> 02:22:21,420
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1875
02:22:21,640 --> 02:22:25,900
I want to take a moment to tell you guys why I do this work.

1876
02:22:26,400 --> 02:22:28,680
I am the daughter of Mexican immigrants.

1877
02:22:29,240 --> 02:22:30,620
I grew up in two countries.

1878
02:22:31,420 --> 02:22:35,980
I know what it is to go without to see money and opportunity pass you by.

1879
02:22:36,060 --> 02:22:38,980
And that's why this budget is so important to me.

1880
02:22:38,980 --> 02:22:46,400
And I do want to preface my prepared remarks with the fact that they are blunt, but they're

1881
02:22:46,400 --> 02:22:47,340
also truthful.

1882
02:22:47,760 --> 02:22:53,480
And we need to acknowledge that truth because we are living in unprecedented times.

1883
02:22:53,940 --> 02:23:00,360
Never in my imagination ever did I expect us to be faced with cuts to entitlement programs

1884
02:23:00,360 --> 02:23:03,420
to safety net programs by this very administration.

1885
02:23:04,660 --> 02:23:08,720
South County has been overlooked for decades and I did not come to this job to accept

1886
02:23:08,720 --> 02:23:14,740
that I came to change it, and I do believe this budget reflects our values and prioritizes

1887
02:23:14,740 --> 02:23:15,300
people.

1888
02:23:15,860 --> 02:23:18,840
On the Tijuana River, we won real money and real action.

1889
02:23:19,340 --> 02:23:25,160
We secured $2.5 million to fix the Saturn Boulevard Pollution Site, one of the war sources

1890
02:23:25,160 --> 02:23:26,740
of toxic air in our community.

1891
02:23:27,260 --> 02:23:31,940
We committed $20 million to clean up the Tijuana River, and we created a new pollution

1892
02:23:31,940 --> 02:23:36,380
crisis chief to push state and federal leaders towards a permanent fix.

1893
02:23:36,380 --> 02:23:40,480
Our families deserve clean air, clean beaches, full stop.

1894
02:23:41,160 --> 02:23:47,080
On the cost of living, Donald Trump and the Republicans made a choice to take food assistance

1895
02:23:47,080 --> 02:23:51,580
and healthcare away from working families so they could give tax breaks to billionaires.

1896
02:23:52,360 --> 02:23:58,120
We had a choice to accept those cuts and let our neighbors go hungry or fight back.

1897
02:23:58,560 --> 02:24:01,320
I've seen what happens when families fall through their cracks.

1898
02:24:01,320 --> 02:24:06,240
when people go without food and housing and I refuse to let that happen on my watch.

1899
02:24:06,880 --> 02:24:11,780
We're hiring 120 new workers to help families keep their food and health benefits.

1900
02:24:12,420 --> 02:24:18,240
And we're putting $15.8 million of our own money to make up for what Trump and them took out.

1901
02:24:18,800 --> 02:24:24,080
On housing, we're putting over $22 million into building more affordable homes.

1902
02:24:24,220 --> 02:24:29,440
And we're setting aside $5 million specifically to help immigrant and low-income families because

1903
02:24:29,440 --> 02:24:34,340
And nobody should be pushed out of their community, especially when they help build it.

1904
02:24:34,740 --> 02:24:37,100
And we're also protecting our immigrant communities.

1905
02:24:37,300 --> 02:24:41,900
At a time when the Trump administration is escalating efforts to separate families and

1906
02:24:41,900 --> 02:24:47,060
destabilize communities, San Diego County's investment in immigrant legal defenses and

1907
02:24:47,060 --> 02:24:52,720
investment in the well-being of our region, providing legal representation helps protect

1908
02:24:52,720 --> 02:24:58,960
working families from unjust deportations, keeps parents with their children, and preserves

1909
02:24:58,960 --> 02:25:02,980
the social and economic stability that neighborhoods depend on.

1910
02:25:03,380 --> 02:25:08,360
When families can remain together, children experience greater security, workers can continue

1911
02:25:08,360 --> 02:25:13,780
contributing to our local economy, and communities remain stronger, safer, and more resilient.

1912
02:25:14,760 --> 02:25:20,020
I especially want to lift up the powerful youth advocacy we have seen throughout this budget

1913
02:25:20,020 --> 02:25:20,600
cycle.

1914
02:25:21,340 --> 02:25:28,500
Your determination delivered $250,000 for a youth development feasibility study, a major step toward

1915
02:25:28,500 --> 02:25:33,880
future department of youth development. Advocacy takes courage, even when it's just

1916
02:25:33,880 --> 02:25:37,960
speaking of the podium, and it has been inspiring to see our youth not only asking

1917
02:25:37,960 --> 02:25:44,220
for change but leading the call for it. These are not empty promises. This is real money

1918
02:25:44,220 --> 02:25:49,820
going to real solutions. Now, some out there, and we've heard the narratives and some

1919
02:25:49,820 --> 02:25:56,900
publications that we spend too much. I want to be honest about what spending less would

1920
02:25:56,900 --> 02:26:03,640
not meant. Seniors paying more for their bills. Families going hungry. People losing their

1921
02:26:03,640 --> 02:26:09,920
homes and the Tejwana River staying a miss. That's not being responsible. That's fighting

1922
02:26:09,920 --> 02:26:16,380
for the people. Also, this budget is balanced. Our reserves are 100% fully funded and we

1923
02:26:16,380 --> 02:26:22,020
have a top credit rating from every major financial agency in the country. We're not as

1924
02:26:22,020 --> 02:26:27,420
would say putting county finances at risk. We are investing in its solutions and there's a

1925
02:26:27,420 --> 02:26:31,980
big difference when it comes to that. And let me also say when right wing opponents

1926
02:26:31,980 --> 02:26:37,400
realize about this budget what they're really saying is that it's okay to leave people behind.

1927
02:26:37,840 --> 02:26:43,060
It's okay to leave people who look like me behind and that community behind. I think it's deeply

1928
02:26:43,060 --> 02:26:49,400
cynical. We see that from Donald Trump. We see that from the majority in Congress. We're seeing

1929
02:26:49,400 --> 02:26:55,200
here in San Diego, too. And it's not too inflame, it's to be clear because the people deserve

1930
02:26:55,200 --> 02:27:02,200
to know the truth. In summary, I would like to say that we are not done. The fight for a

1931
02:27:02,200 --> 02:27:08,220
clean Tijuana River continues. The cost of living crisis is not solved by any means. District one

1932
02:27:08,220 --> 02:27:14,640
families deserve their fair share and we're not there yet. Every day we need to make different choices,

1933
02:27:14,640 --> 02:27:18,940
It's choices to help families succeed, especially working families.

1934
02:27:19,640 --> 02:27:22,800
So today we celebrate tomorrow we continue fighting.

1935
02:27:23,320 --> 02:27:27,660
Thank you to everybody who spoke out in support of this budget, and I want especially

1936
02:27:27,660 --> 02:27:35,200
thank Ebony, Joan, Nadia, Liz, Davia, Andrew, and Brian, and everybody at our team for

1937
02:27:35,200 --> 02:27:36,380
all their work for this budget.

1938
02:27:36,780 --> 02:27:37,400
Thank you.

1939
02:27:39,800 --> 02:27:41,660
Thank you so much.

1940
02:27:41,700 --> 02:27:42,820
I'm super, as a resident.

1941
02:27:44,740 --> 02:27:46,400
Thank you, Madam Chair.

1942
02:27:46,500 --> 02:27:47,400
Appreciate it.

1943
02:27:47,400 --> 02:27:52,220
And I also want to thank staff for all your hard work and effort that putting us budget together.

1944
02:27:52,920 --> 02:27:58,620
There's a lot in this, this $9.1 billion budget, for example, that I like.

1945
02:27:59,160 --> 02:28:04,360
The increase of $98 million is going to public safety, as it should be for sheriff services.

1946
02:28:04,760 --> 02:28:06,660
And unfortunately, yes, for jail improvements.

1947
02:28:07,340 --> 02:28:12,980
I'm all in favor of more schools, but unfortunately, we still need jails and ones we have are pretty bad shape.

1948
02:28:12,980 --> 02:28:19,840
So, this public safety money is going to share services, jail improvements, opioid enforcement

1949
02:28:19,840 --> 02:28:25,880
programs, and includes additional fire protection for the region through staffing increases,

1950
02:28:26,320 --> 02:28:30,280
county fire for water, tender trucks, and the night flying helicopter.

1951
02:28:31,420 --> 02:28:37,400
We learned for the LA fires at having mobile and large quantities of water is critical for

1952
02:28:37,400 --> 02:28:38,860
saving lives and property.

1953
02:28:38,860 --> 02:28:44,700
For behavioral health, we're pursuing crisis services for youth in North County.

1954
02:28:44,900 --> 02:28:46,000
I'm happy for that.

1955
02:28:46,320 --> 02:28:50,520
And we're maintaining services and not scaling back in libraries, parks, roads and

1956
02:28:50,520 --> 02:28:50,940
improvements.

1957
02:28:51,820 --> 02:28:58,340
In fact, hats off to our Department of Public Works for reaching the target of a 70-pavement

1958
02:28:58,340 --> 02:29:01,920
index for the unacarpired area roads.

1959
02:29:02,540 --> 02:29:08,740
I also appreciate the CAO for taking feedback and input continuing funding for their drowning

1960
02:29:08,740 --> 02:29:14,740
prevention and swim lessons for kids, and for the new youth sports defibrillator program

1961
02:29:14,740 --> 02:29:19,660
for all of our sports programs in the unacorporated area, and for funding the drowning prevention.

1962
02:29:20,380 --> 02:29:25,720
It's very important we hear in San Diego after all, swim lessons actually save lives

1963
02:29:25,720 --> 02:29:29,880
and what I've noticed in the drowning prevention programs in North County.

1964
02:29:30,160 --> 02:29:35,320
It's not just for kids, parents are actually enrolling in these classes and learning to swim, but just good.

1965
02:29:35,320 --> 02:29:47,480
However, there are some items that I don't support, and I want to voice my opposition for the record, including the 13.2 million for the immigrant rights legal defense fund.

1966
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:52,100
Providing legal services for immigrant and federal court facing deportation.

1967
02:29:52,600 --> 02:29:56,660
I do not think that is what local taxpayers should be paying for.

1968
02:29:56,660 --> 02:29:59,180
That is what this is a federal issue.

1969
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:07,020
This is not what local San Diego County folks should be paying for. That money should be going towards local efforts.

1970
02:30:07,500 --> 02:30:13,880
Not towards people who just came walked into the country and all of a sudden need legal issues.

1971
02:30:14,380 --> 02:30:22,420
Also, I don't support the division created by the County Council's office, not by the County Council, but for the consumer protection department.

1972
02:30:22,960 --> 02:30:29,160
This is a function that's already performed by the District Attorney Office. They're doing a great job, and I think this is totally redundant.

1973
02:30:29,160 --> 02:30:30,580
and unnecessary.

1974
02:30:32,040 --> 02:30:36,040
And I haven't supported and I do not support unlocking the user reserves.

1975
02:30:36,580 --> 02:30:38,320
I think reserves should be held sacred.

1976
02:30:39,040 --> 02:30:45,420
That funding is too valuable and limited to be spent in a manner it's being spent now.

1977
02:30:46,380 --> 02:30:50,580
I've voted against using a reserves ever since we've started doing this.

1978
02:30:50,580 --> 02:30:57,040
There's too many ongoing services and operations being funded by this finite pot of money.

1979
02:30:57,040 --> 02:31:01,460
There's going to come a day, and when we don't no longer have this reserve dollars,

1980
02:31:02,120 --> 02:31:07,400
it was opened up through politically-generated Mania and hysteria that the sky is falling

1981
02:31:07,400 --> 02:31:14,200
because of HR1. It's not. This is fear-mogery and it tries to make the public think the sky is

1982
02:31:14,200 --> 02:31:20,500
falling and everyone's going to lose food and health care. They're not. Ultimately, it's able

1983
02:31:20,500 --> 02:31:26,860
body people, between the ages of 18 and 64, with no dependence, who aren't willing to work

1984
02:31:26,860 --> 02:31:33,400
volunteer or go to school 20 hours a week or turn in the paperwork to show it, and the

1985
02:31:33,400 --> 02:31:39,520
people that are here illegally are the only ones at risk of losing their medical benefits.

1986
02:31:40,060 --> 02:31:50,480
So if they're able, if they're able, they're a single, got no dependence, are able to work

1987
02:31:50,480 --> 02:31:56,020
or work or some type of service to pay for the services that you're receiving.

1988
02:31:56,580 --> 02:31:59,180
Those are the ones that are not willing to do that at risk.

1989
02:31:59,420 --> 02:32:05,760
One else who is qualified and who has needs these services will get them.

1990
02:32:06,120 --> 02:32:09,960
It's only the ones that risk, the only ones that risk are those that aren't willing to participate.

1991
02:32:10,880 --> 02:32:12,800
As it turns out, the sky is not following.

1992
02:32:13,160 --> 02:32:16,920
In fact, so far, the impacts are estimated to be $8 million.

1993
02:32:16,920 --> 02:32:23,940
for additional staffing to address the increase work and reporting requirements of twice a year and

1994
02:32:23,940 --> 02:32:29,960
depending on how much the state funds were still not sure 15.7 million that serves the existing

1995
02:32:29,960 --> 02:32:37,000
entire recipients. There only puts at risk a potential of 24 million. And that's of everyone who's

1996
02:32:37,000 --> 02:32:44,560
eligible to work doesn't, or doesn't turn into paperwork. So we've opened up 381 million of reserves

1997
02:32:44,560 --> 02:32:48,380
for this $24 million shortfall, a potential shortfall.

1998
02:32:48,980 --> 02:32:54,160
And this board is spending it down at a tune of $95 million a year.

1999
02:32:55,360 --> 02:32:57,760
But all we really needed is, up to this point,

2000
02:32:57,800 --> 02:32:59,820
is a potentially $24 million.

2001
02:32:59,960 --> 02:33:01,540
And we may not need that much.

2002
02:33:02,220 --> 02:33:04,960
This could have and should have been addressed by prioritizing

2003
02:33:04,960 --> 02:33:08,060
our own budget, which increases about 5% every year,

2004
02:33:08,240 --> 02:33:10,340
5% of $8 billion is a lot.

2005
02:33:11,040 --> 02:33:12,540
We should not be spending these reserves,

2006
02:33:12,540 --> 02:33:18,020
and I said, I think this is a false hype and many are created to trick the public into accepting the board,

2007
02:33:18,380 --> 02:33:20,620
opening and spending emergency reserves.

2008
02:33:22,220 --> 02:33:29,260
We could have retrieved half of that 24 million with this illegal alien defense fund.

2009
02:33:29,840 --> 02:33:34,280
We could have taken that 13.0 million and put it towards this 24 million.

2010
02:33:35,740 --> 02:33:41,100
As we spend this funds in this manner, this money is just not going to be there once it's spent.

2011
02:33:41,100 --> 02:33:43,500
This is $368 million of reserves.

2012
02:33:43,960 --> 02:33:45,520
Once it's spent, it's gone.

2013
02:33:46,200 --> 02:33:50,240
That money alone would earn $11 million a year,

2014
02:33:50,620 --> 02:33:52,240
and now we're taking it out of the reserves.

2015
02:33:52,700 --> 02:33:55,160
$11 million a year, and if you compound that,

2016
02:33:55,280 --> 02:33:57,620
that's a lot more over 5, 10, 15 years,

2017
02:33:58,060 --> 02:34:01,820
to take $380 million out and spend it on one time things.

2018
02:34:02,560 --> 02:34:05,820
These are valuable reserves funds that are not going

2019
02:34:05,820 --> 02:34:09,180
to capital improvements, which could last for years to come.

2020
02:34:09,180 --> 02:34:13,260
In fact, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association did a great job.

2021
02:34:13,500 --> 02:34:17,900
They did a fiscal analysis on the county of San Diego and put it out that our capital

2022
02:34:18,960 --> 02:34:25,300
improvement allocation, which is for roads, for bridges, for infrastructure, for parks, for new

2023
02:34:25,300 --> 02:34:29,260
amenities, and buildings, things like that.

2024
02:34:29,900 --> 02:34:32,400
Our allocation this year is only 45 million.

2025
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:36,540
That's only one half a 1% of our budget.

2026
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:43,920
It's the lowest it's been in 16 years and previously it's always been about a hundred million a year

2027
02:34:43,920 --> 02:34:49,640
It goes to capital but just capital. We've got many buildings many many many roads and many many things that need improvements

2028
02:34:50,280 --> 02:34:54,640
And this is how the city of San Diego has gotten so far and so deep in trouble

2029
02:34:54,640 --> 02:35:01,200
Now I will admit staff's on a great job in the roads that keep in our roads up to a certain standard at 70 CPCI

2030
02:35:01,200 --> 02:35:06,520
Thank you, but we still have bridges. We still have buildings. We still have a lot of things other things to make this

2031
02:35:06,520 --> 02:35:11,480
building. It's just built almost 100 years ago, still needs repair. So we need those capital

2032
02:35:11,480 --> 02:35:16,700
improvement dollars for other things. And this year, because of all the other spending,

2033
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:21,920
it's about half what it used to be. City of San Diego is not, there are about a billion dollars

2034
02:35:21,920 --> 02:35:28,600
behind on their infrastructure. And that's their roads or streets. The county, we bailed out

2035
02:35:28,600 --> 02:35:36,500
the city of San Diego when about 600 houses flooded because they weren't taking care of

2036
02:35:36,500 --> 02:35:39,780
sending the capital improvement projects going in.

2037
02:35:40,420 --> 02:35:47,880
So I think with those concerns, no $9 billion budget is perfect.

2038
02:35:48,800 --> 02:35:49,640
I'll admit that.

2039
02:35:49,740 --> 02:35:52,960
There's a lot of good in here, but there's also a few things that are bad.

2040
02:35:53,100 --> 02:35:55,160
So I would like to put for the record.

2041
02:35:56,300 --> 02:36:02,960
I will vote for the budget overall that I'm against the 13.2 million for the immigrant

2042
02:36:02,960 --> 02:36:08,280
legal defencily allocation against utilizing the reserves and against the county council

2043
02:36:08,280 --> 02:36:10,900
consumer protection unit being put in place.

2044
02:36:12,100 --> 02:36:13,160
Thank you very much.

2045
02:36:18,870 --> 02:36:19,170
Thank you.

2046
02:36:19,270 --> 02:36:24,410
I have some additional comments, but I'll turn to my to the vice chair if you just put your

2047
02:36:24,410 --> 02:36:24,970
name up.

2048
02:36:25,250 --> 02:36:26,270
You want me to go ahead.

2049
02:36:26,710 --> 02:36:26,730
Okay.

2050
02:36:27,410 --> 02:36:28,010
Great.

2051
02:36:29,590 --> 02:36:30,970
Thank you all very much.

2052
02:36:32,190 --> 02:36:37,610
So again, I just want to thank County staff and John for everything.

2053
02:36:37,610 --> 02:36:44,510
you've done, the whole team, everyone here, how much work we've put in. And I want to again,

2054
02:36:44,710 --> 02:36:53,250
just acknowledge the moment that we're in historically and in our country. We are at a moment

2055
02:36:53,250 --> 02:36:59,630
where in Washington we're seeing severe disinvestment in our communities,

2056
02:37:00,490 --> 02:37:08,670
$70 billion being allocated to ice while healthcare is cut, while food assistance is cut,

2057
02:37:08,930 --> 02:37:11,730
while the ability, sir.

2058
02:37:13,570 --> 02:37:15,370
Okay, that is your first warning.

2059
02:37:15,790 --> 02:37:19,910
If you disrupt the meeting again, you will be asked to leave the meeting.

2060
02:37:20,250 --> 02:37:21,190
Thank you.

2061
02:37:21,190 --> 02:37:29,170
So, I am very proud of the work we've done here in San Diego to create a budget that does

2062
02:37:29,170 --> 02:37:35,110
invest in working families, that does do everything we possibly can to make sure that people

2063
02:37:35,110 --> 02:37:37,350
have access to food and don't go hungry.

2064
02:37:38,030 --> 02:37:44,910
Are able to keep a roof over their heads that invest deeply in tackling homelessness

2065
02:37:44,910 --> 02:37:49,950
and our affordability crisis, especially our crisis around affordable housing.

2066
02:37:49,950 --> 02:37:57,190
that prioritizes investments in public health, especially in health equity, like the

2067
02:37:57,190 --> 02:38:05,390
Tijuana River crisis, and the sewage crisis, and it makes enormous strides towards a safer,

2068
02:38:05,950 --> 02:38:09,710
cleaner environment and future for San Diego families.

2069
02:38:10,370 --> 02:38:15,350
And a budget that does everything we can to protect our constitution, protect the rule of law,

2070
02:38:15,350 --> 02:38:21,310
make sure that if you are in this country that you cannot be kidnapped, deported off of our streets

2071
02:38:21,310 --> 02:38:27,630
and disappeared into jails in El Salvador and other countries in other parts of this world.

2072
02:38:28,790 --> 02:38:34,830
So with that being said, again acknowledge that this is the beginning and not the end,

2073
02:38:35,930 --> 02:38:41,390
that this is important work and that these are investments that are incredibly important for the future

2074
02:38:41,390 --> 02:38:47,310
community. I'm very proud of the budget that we put together today. I've proud of the partnership

2075
02:38:47,310 --> 02:38:53,470
of my colleagues in bringing this budget forward and really hope that we can pass this budget

2076
02:38:53,470 --> 02:38:57,810
today for the future of San Diego County. Vice Chair, Montgomery Step.

2077
02:38:58,770 --> 02:39:06,930
Yeah, just briefly, you know, we all were voted in by our constituency, so we have different

2078
02:39:06,930 --> 02:39:14,750
perspectives on the budget, but I just want to say I believe that there is such a thing

2079
02:39:14,750 --> 02:39:19,330
as being fiscally responsible and then morally responsible to people.

2080
02:39:20,670 --> 02:39:29,330
And that I don't believe that it's worth having walking around and over people in our streets

2081
02:39:29,330 --> 02:39:34,830
but being okay because we're earning 11 million on interest.

2082
02:39:34,830 --> 02:39:36,190
I don't think that that's okay.

2083
02:39:36,890 --> 02:39:40,750
I think that, well, I know what I do know because I checked the numbers, right?

2084
02:39:40,750 --> 02:39:41,830
I'm going to be responsible.

2085
02:39:42,650 --> 02:39:51,070
And what I do know is that we have over $950 million in our reserves.

2086
02:39:51,730 --> 02:39:56,630
We have the amount, which represents 16.7 percent of our entire budget.

2087
02:39:57,030 --> 02:40:03,490
We have the amount that the general accounting principles says,

2088
02:40:03,490 --> 02:40:06,370
through their best practices, we should have.

2089
02:40:07,050 --> 02:40:09,310
And this is not a hedge fund.

2090
02:40:09,830 --> 02:40:14,570
This is a government entity that is mandated

2091
02:40:14,570 --> 02:40:17,170
to take care of our most vulnerable communities.

2092
02:40:17,630 --> 02:40:20,050
That is not anything we made up.

2093
02:40:20,130 --> 02:40:23,930
And the last thing I'll say is, I remember

2094
02:40:23,930 --> 02:40:26,870
when the Reserve's conversation was being had,

2095
02:40:26,970 --> 02:40:28,950
before I even thought I would be a supervisor,

2096
02:40:29,390 --> 02:40:31,230
that I was always been an issue in our community,

2097
02:40:31,230 --> 02:40:40,250
and that wasn't a direct impact of what is going on now at the federal government because we

2098
02:40:40,250 --> 02:40:43,850
have seen over the years and you can throw in the state here too, right?

2099
02:40:44,330 --> 02:40:48,970
I don't care if we blame, but it's been an issue where people have been suffering for a while.

2100
02:40:49,030 --> 02:40:53,190
We have been sitting on money on top of money and hoarding it here at the county.

2101
02:40:54,130 --> 02:41:01,190
So, that is, I just believe we can be physically responsible and we can be morally responsive

2102
02:41:01,190 --> 02:41:05,150
to our constituency, no matter what district they live in.

2103
02:41:05,510 --> 02:41:06,610
So, appreciate the discussion.

2104
02:41:09,040 --> 02:41:10,060
Thank you very much.

2105
02:41:10,200 --> 02:41:10,940
Superzer Anderson.

2106
02:41:12,320 --> 02:41:12,820
Thank you, ma'am.

2107
02:41:13,180 --> 02:41:14,400
First of all, I like to stir off.

2108
02:41:14,480 --> 02:41:17,680
I think in our staff for doing such an outstanding job.

2109
02:41:17,680 --> 02:41:27,560
And when you made the motion, I don't see it anywhere, you know, I want to make sure items

2110
02:41:27,560 --> 02:41:28,680
are in it.

2111
02:41:29,240 --> 02:41:32,460
You went quickly, and I don't want to hold everybody up, but I want to make sure that the

2112
02:41:32,460 --> 02:41:40,000
2.8 million for the shallower and subsidies in it, the 34.3 million for the new Ramona

2113
02:41:40,000 --> 02:41:50,360
chair stations in it. The 460,000 for this again, so fire station is in it and at the 265.9

2114
02:41:50,360 --> 02:41:56,600
million for roads and infrastructure are in it. Those who have been in eight, but when you

2115
02:41:56,600 --> 02:42:02,800
called out individual items in it, I didn't know if we skipped over or missing those dollar

2116
02:42:02,800 --> 02:42:04,680
rounds are important to me.

2117
02:42:05,840 --> 02:42:07,520
Thank you, Superzer Anderson.

2118
02:42:07,920 --> 02:42:10,320
So I'm going to turn that to Joan to make sure I

2119
02:42:10,320 --> 02:42:12,560
could look at my motion, whoever's more fishing here.

2120
02:42:13,020 --> 02:42:18,340
So I understand the items that you listed are in the CAO's

2121
02:42:18,340 --> 02:42:22,960
recommended budget, which was released to the public in May.

2122
02:42:23,340 --> 02:42:26,060
And so those items that we highlighted today were just those

2123
02:42:26,060 --> 02:42:27,820
revisions to the recommended budget.

2124
02:42:28,160 --> 02:42:30,140
The revisions don't include taking anything out.

2125
02:42:30,300 --> 02:42:31,920
So those things that you listed are in the budget.

2126
02:42:32,300 --> 02:42:33,540
OK, so it's all in here.

2127
02:42:34,900 --> 02:42:36,080
Thank you very much.

2128
02:42:36,440 --> 02:42:37,200
Thank you for the clarity.

2129
02:42:38,880 --> 02:42:39,640
Thank you very much.

2130
02:42:39,840 --> 02:42:40,940
We have a motion in a second.

2131
02:42:43,100 --> 02:42:44,120
Please vote.

2132
02:42:45,020 --> 02:42:48,840
Also, no for the record that an errada was distributed in post of online yesterday that made amendments.

2133
02:42:49,140 --> 02:42:54,500
The resolutions that are being considered to revise references to applicable county budget act provisions.

2134
02:42:54,840 --> 02:42:56,680
Motion went incorporate the edits in the errada.

2135
02:42:57,260 --> 02:43:01,940
And with that, Charleston remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present in voting aye.

2136
02:43:01,940 --> 02:43:09,220
Okay. So we're moving on to item 10. This is the second-hand

2137
02:43:09,220 --> 02:43:12,420
certification and adoption of ordinance modernizing the San Diego County

2138
02:43:12,420 --> 02:43:15,980
Charter, District and Transparency Accountability and Independent

2139
02:43:15,980 --> 02:43:19,320
Overstate. We'll begin with public comment. Thank you, Chair

2140
02:43:19,320 --> 02:43:23,740
Lawson Reemer. We have 42 requests to speak on this item. 24 in person and 18

2141
02:43:23,740 --> 02:43:29,180
requesting to speak by phone. Also note that we received 144 e-comments. 82

2142
02:43:29,180 --> 02:43:32,600
in support, 56 in opposition, and 1 in neutral.

2143
02:43:33,260 --> 02:43:37,120
Friendly individuals that requested to speak an item 10 by phone, please dial in the conference

2144
02:43:37,120 --> 02:43:39,980
line using the instructions that were provided to you.

2145
02:43:40,140 --> 02:43:43,540
We'll begin with the in-person speakers, as your name is called, please come forward and stand

2146
02:43:43,540 --> 02:43:45,640
on the arrows until it is your turn to speak at the podium.

2147
02:43:46,260 --> 02:43:49,420
Because there are 10 and more speakers on the side of me, you'll have one minute to address

2148
02:43:49,420 --> 02:43:50,020
the board.

2149
02:43:50,520 --> 02:43:53,080
You'll ask you to begin by stating your name for the audio record.

2150
02:43:53,900 --> 02:43:57,120
I will call you in groups of three, so please listen for your name.

2151
02:43:57,120 --> 02:43:59,860
I'd like to invite for the first three individuals.

2152
02:44:00,540 --> 02:44:03,920
Brett at Ledstrom, Noah Yee-Yik, and Karina Pue.

2153
02:44:04,280 --> 02:44:05,220
I have called your name.

2154
02:44:05,760 --> 02:44:06,660
Come forward, please.

2155
02:44:21,880 --> 02:44:24,820
Hello, Brie Tillinstrom District 3.

2156
02:44:25,660 --> 02:44:28,200
This proposal is deceptive, and in after it,

2157
02:44:28,500 --> 02:44:30,500
when you state, when you state,

2158
02:44:30,700 --> 02:44:32,760
is strength and transparency, accountability,

2159
02:44:33,380 --> 02:44:34,540
and independent oversight.

2160
02:44:35,000 --> 02:44:37,200
You know that is not true.

2161
02:44:37,500 --> 02:44:40,140
Use supervisors will control appointments,

2162
02:44:40,140 --> 02:44:45,320
removals and administrative processes of the bodies doing the independent oversight.

2163
02:44:46,020 --> 02:44:49,540
How on earth is this transparent accountable or independent?

2164
02:44:50,700 --> 02:44:54,080
Also, the conclusions are advisory, not obligatory.

2165
02:44:54,700 --> 02:44:58,720
Also, you were elected by voters for two terms. That was a contract.

2166
02:44:59,180 --> 02:44:59,960
Now you're extended.

2167
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:17,940
What they are actually voting for. I find it ironic, also, that several of you organize rallies, opposing politicians that act like kings, and hear you three ladies are acting like queens. Stop deceiving your constituents, actually be transparent.

2168
02:45:19,100 --> 02:45:20,240
Thank you. Next speaker, please.

2169
02:45:26,080 --> 02:45:30,180
Good afternoon, Board. My name is Noah Yik, I'm a researcher with the Center on Policy Initiatives.

2170
02:45:30,180 --> 02:45:38,000
Our county plays a crucial role in the lives of Sandiagans that helps people stay housed but put on the table and access the care and services they need.

2171
02:45:38,700 --> 02:45:46,100
With a county of over 3 million people and a budget over 9 billion dollars, we must constantly ask ourselves, are we serving Sandiagans the best we can?

2172
02:45:46,860 --> 02:45:51,940
Right now our government is left to answer that question on its own, which leaves communities without real accountability.

2173
02:45:52,520 --> 02:45:56,760
These reforms change that and are designed to be implemented without new cost to taxpayers.

2174
02:45:57,300 --> 02:46:01,220
Using what we already have more wisely in making our county work better for Sandiagans.

2175
02:46:02,060 --> 02:46:04,860
An independent program auditor ensures we are measuring real impact.

2176
02:46:05,160 --> 02:46:08,200
Whether people's lives are improving and whether Sandiagans have what they need.

2177
02:46:08,980 --> 02:46:12,740
An independent budget analyst ensures decisions are grounded in clear, honest information,

2178
02:46:13,220 --> 02:46:16,940
so resources are spent equitably and prioritize communities with the greatest need.

2179
02:46:17,760 --> 02:46:21,320
Every dollar, every single public dollar should improve the lives of Sandiagans.

2180
02:46:21,320 --> 02:46:28,600
please vote yes to put these reforms on the ballot give sendy against the power to shape what kind of county we want to live in thank

2181
02:46:28,600 --> 02:46:35,680
Thank you. So next speaker's coming forward all right three of our speakers. Dolly Madison. David Levine and Andrew Lawson

2182
02:46:37,380 --> 02:46:41,940
Good afternoon supervisors. My name is Karina Pue. My pronouns are she her and I'm here today

2183
02:46:41,940 --> 02:46:47,160
on behalf of the San Diego LGBT Community Center, asking you all to vote in support of the

2184
02:46:47,160 --> 02:46:51,600
side of them. Transparency and governance is essential to ensuring that our community can properly

2185
02:46:51,600 --> 02:46:56,500
advocate for themselves. Additionally, adding independent oversight options, including an independent

2186
02:46:56,500 --> 02:47:01,120
budget analyst who will help our county spend dollars more equitably, effectively, inefficiently.

2187
02:47:01,660 --> 02:47:04,260
Please support the side of them and government transparency. Thank you.

2188
02:47:06,080 --> 02:47:07,380
Thank you.

2189
02:47:07,660 --> 02:47:08,560
Excuse me, please.

2190
02:47:10,460 --> 02:47:11,200
Good morning, supervisors.

2191
02:47:11,900 --> 02:47:12,560
Good afternoon now.

2192
02:47:13,620 --> 02:47:14,480
My name is David Levine.

2193
02:47:14,600 --> 02:47:19,260
I'm a deputy public defender and I'm a board member of the Public Defenders Association

2194
02:47:19,260 --> 02:47:20,240
of San Diego County.

2195
02:47:20,920 --> 02:47:23,420
The PDA supports item 10.

2196
02:47:23,840 --> 02:47:26,400
Independent fiscal analysis serves workers.

2197
02:47:27,000 --> 02:47:31,320
It serves taxpayers and it serves the public interest in knowing what the county can

2198
02:47:31,320 --> 02:47:32,240
actually afford.

2199
02:47:32,240 --> 02:47:39,400
The PDA is a direct interest in the one provision of this measure that the option to appoint the county public defender by ordinance.

2200
02:47:40,100 --> 02:47:46,920
We will be watching that closely. Public defense depends on independence from the government we are required to check.

2201
02:47:47,860 --> 02:47:54,480
The county may write the check for the public defense. The public defense must be free to check the county. Thank you.

2202
02:47:57,240 --> 02:47:58,640
Thank you. Next speaker please.

2203
02:47:58,640 --> 02:48:04,560
D. Madison, speaking today, I have accepted your one-minute time frame.

2204
02:48:05,120 --> 02:48:10,640
I have entered into a contract and when that you will hold me to, is it fair if I should

2205
02:48:10,640 --> 02:48:14,420
take more time just because I want more time? No.

2206
02:48:14,720 --> 02:48:21,120
Voters voted for a specific term for the San Diego County Supervisors. You won eight years.

2207
02:48:21,360 --> 02:48:26,940
That is what you get. That is what you agreed to. That is what the people you represent

2208
02:48:26,940 --> 02:48:33,200
agreed to. This is a dishonest attempt to extend your term by amending the charter and

2209
02:48:33,200 --> 02:48:38,020
pairing with other ideas that sound good and have the look of transparency and accountability.

2210
02:48:38,920 --> 02:48:46,700
What you are doing is attempting to lock in your majority. Would it be okay if President Trump

2211
02:48:46,700 --> 02:48:52,780
to try and change the rules to gain another term after serving eight years when he has finished

2212
02:48:52,780 --> 02:48:59,320
just turned? Should he be able to get four more years? No. Don't be selfish. Let others

2213
02:48:59,320 --> 02:49:04,900
San Diego and have the opportunity to serve their community. Thank you.

2214
02:49:05,240 --> 02:49:10,120
Like to buy four three additional speakers, Oliver Twist, allegedly Audra, and Natalie

2215
02:49:10,120 --> 02:49:10,720
Rashke.

2216
02:49:27,860 --> 02:49:33,260
Hi, good afternoon. So yes, I adamantly oppose this. Again, for people that do

2217
02:49:33,260 --> 02:49:38,400
oppose no kings, how are we getting three queens up on the dius? And before I get to, I do

2218
02:49:38,400 --> 02:49:42,880
to start out with an apology and that's why I meant to. This is for your CAO staff. I made the

2219
02:49:42,880 --> 02:49:47,720
term, I use a term covering up and I want to be really clear. I was talking about semanticly,

2220
02:49:48,040 --> 02:49:52,840
smoking mirrors covering up, not any indication of wrongdoing. I greatly respect your CAO

2221
02:49:52,840 --> 02:49:57,760
and her staff. And so I just want to make it really clear. I was talking semantically only.

2222
02:49:58,340 --> 02:50:04,380
And now back to our no-queens programming. When we have bureaucracy, this out of control,

2223
02:50:04,380 --> 02:50:10,720
the solution is not more government, nor people that point their own oversight. I use a term

2224
02:50:10,720 --> 02:50:15,000
loosely oversight. So you've got to stop that right now, wrapping it up and all the

2225
02:50:15,000 --> 02:50:19,740
feel good stuff is a dog pill and a marshmallow, or as I like to say in San Diego, a turd

2226
02:50:19,740 --> 02:50:26,260
and a taco. It stinks. Don't give yourself a more term. No more queens in San Diego. It's just

2227
02:50:26,260 --> 02:50:31,620
more political theater. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please.

2228
02:50:41,340 --> 02:50:42,700
I have significant concerns

2229
02:50:42,700 --> 02:50:49,020
regarding you guys with transparency and accountability when you can't even run a meeting,

2230
02:50:49,320 --> 02:50:54,820
you know, making sure that the fundamentals of doing that are followed, which would be

2231
02:50:54,820 --> 02:50:55,960
having a quorum.

2232
02:50:57,040 --> 02:51:01,760
Tara, suddenly you have a disability that would allow for you to not show your face on camera

2233
02:51:01,760 --> 02:51:04,420
when Monica and put to Paloma word.

2234
02:51:04,560 --> 02:51:08,780
The only ones here, therefore, leaving it to be that there was no quorum.

2235
02:51:08,780 --> 02:51:15,740
And yet you guys continue. I'm not sure why you showed up now, and it's interesting that you brought Ava Kai here because

2236
02:51:15,740 --> 02:51:18,400
You know, it's like I'm talking about

2237
02:51:18,400 --> 02:51:23,560
Mothers that you're terminating and then you go ahead and give her a kiss kind of like a fuck you

2238
02:51:23,560 --> 02:51:30,020
I have my child and they don't because it'd be like me going to somebody who's homeless and asking for food

2239
02:51:30,020 --> 02:51:33,780
Well, I've got it in my hand and I take a bite and I just walk away

2240
02:51:33,780 --> 02:51:44,700
So, it is disgraceful that you do stuff like that to virtue signal as though you are, you know, somehow better than the mother's future on either parental rights up.

2241
02:51:46,800 --> 02:51:53,580
As an ex, like to invite three additional speakers, Doyle Morrison, Alicia Morrison and Marco Espinoza.

2242
02:52:06,510 --> 02:52:09,310
Hello Board of Supervisors, my name is Doyle Morrison for the record.

2243
02:52:09,310 --> 02:52:21,090
And I oppose this charter reform on the basis that three terms is unclear whether or not

2244
02:52:21,090 --> 02:52:22,110
that's retroactive.

2245
02:52:22,850 --> 02:52:28,670
So I am opposing this because I believe that the three terms will start once this is

2246
02:52:28,670 --> 02:52:29,230
approved.

2247
02:52:30,050 --> 02:52:36,550
If it's voted on by the voters, and I totally disagree with that, I think that two terms

2248
02:52:36,550 --> 02:52:40,450
would be enough for you guys to do the great work that you're working on now.

2249
02:52:41,230 --> 02:52:47,050
And then you can move on further up the chain and do more better work for our community

2250
02:52:47,050 --> 02:52:48,050
at a higher level.

2251
02:52:48,770 --> 02:52:54,210
So I appreciate what you do and I want you to do more, but I think two terms is enough.

2252
02:52:54,450 --> 02:52:55,370
Thank you.

2253
02:52:57,980 --> 02:52:58,460
Thank you.

2254
02:52:58,540 --> 02:52:59,760
Next speaker, please.

2255
02:53:04,060 --> 02:53:06,560
Can we just pause one moment, please?

2256
02:53:06,560 --> 02:53:13,960
It's been brought to my attention that there was a profanity utilized in this chamber

2257
02:53:13,960 --> 02:53:18,680
in another language, so I'm seeing nods of affirmation.

2258
02:53:19,900 --> 02:53:22,920
So that is not acceptable, that is not appropriate.

2259
02:53:23,860 --> 02:53:28,580
We do have a board policy against that kind of language in this chamber.

2260
02:53:29,780 --> 02:53:35,620
So, I'd be don't need to go backwards, we will go forwards, but this is one warning.

2261
02:53:35,620 --> 02:53:42,460
if we hear that kind of profanity again directed at anyone, you will be asked to leave the

2262
02:53:42,460 --> 02:53:42,640
chamber.

2263
02:53:43,040 --> 02:53:43,780
Thank you.

2264
02:53:47,200 --> 02:53:48,020
Good afternoon.

2265
02:53:48,660 --> 02:53:49,740
Alicia Morrison.

2266
02:53:50,460 --> 02:53:54,760
I respectfully oppose this item, especially increasing three terms.

2267
02:53:55,260 --> 02:54:01,500
Juneteenth, 2010, voters passed property to amend the charter to limit board supervisors

2268
02:54:01,500 --> 02:54:02,780
to two terms.

2269
02:54:03,740 --> 02:54:06,960
Let's not forget what happened on January 6, 2021.

2270
02:54:07,620 --> 02:54:14,920
because what is next? The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It was proposed to amend it.

2271
02:54:15,000 --> 02:54:22,120
It was introduced on January 23rd, 2025. To increase the number of times a person can be elected as president.

2272
02:54:22,840 --> 02:54:31,540
Let me repeat that. It was introduced on January 23rd, 2025. To increase the number of times a person can be elected as president.

2273
02:54:32,520 --> 02:54:34,500
That is very scary thought.

2274
02:54:34,820 --> 02:54:37,200
Comments were made earlier about the Trump administration.

2275
02:54:37,760 --> 02:54:40,080
Imagine a third term for Donald Trump.

2276
02:54:40,680 --> 02:54:43,660
Yet eight years to do work hard for your district,

2277
02:54:44,500 --> 02:54:46,860
so set up the success for the next person

2278
02:54:46,860 --> 02:54:48,020
and pass the taunt.

2279
02:54:48,180 --> 02:54:49,540
Thank you.

2280
02:54:50,500 --> 02:54:51,900
This is the next speaker coming forward on

2281
02:54:51,900 --> 02:54:53,020
by three additional speakers.

2282
02:54:53,340 --> 02:54:54,760
C. K. Calderon Vargas,

2283
02:54:55,080 --> 02:54:57,140
Fernando Flores, and Jocelyn.

2284
02:54:59,640 --> 02:55:01,260
Afternoon, Marcos knows it.

2285
02:55:01,840 --> 02:55:03,360
I apologize for my ignorance on this item.

2286
02:55:03,740 --> 02:55:06,140
I was expecting a presentation beforehand.

2287
02:55:06,800 --> 02:55:10,300
Before I'll come in and I did not educate myself on the agenda much

2288
02:55:11,080 --> 02:55:15,020
for I really came today for what happened earlier this morning.

2289
02:55:15,780 --> 02:55:17,980
And now I'm just here because of the views nice.

2290
02:55:18,080 --> 02:55:19,060
And I like being here.

2291
02:55:20,000 --> 02:55:21,420
But I'm learning from the other public speakers.

2292
02:55:22,320 --> 02:55:24,160
And while the title and everything sounds great,

2293
02:55:24,240 --> 02:55:24,860
I do like.

2294
02:55:24,860 --> 02:55:31,300
I did hear that even prior to right now about potentially going to three terms.

2295
02:55:32,740 --> 02:55:34,080
I don't think I like that.

2296
02:55:35,400 --> 02:55:38,040
I really did give it to consideration.

2297
02:55:38,440 --> 02:55:42,800
When I first heard about it a couple days ago or weeks ago, I like two terms.

2298
02:55:45,260 --> 02:55:46,440
Yeah, that feels right.

2299
02:55:46,660 --> 02:55:47,640
So that's my opinion on that.

2300
02:55:48,140 --> 02:55:53,340
And if it did happen though, I would hope that it doesn't reset to where it gives you whole new three terms.

2301
02:55:53,340 --> 02:55:55,220
It's just one additional term.

2302
02:55:56,600 --> 02:55:59,020
That would sit better with me than our whole reset.

2303
02:55:59,300 --> 02:56:00,320
Thank you.

2304
02:56:01,670 --> 02:56:02,470
Next speaker, please.

2305
02:56:05,500 --> 02:56:06,280
Good afternoon.

2306
02:56:06,660 --> 02:56:07,440
Chair, supervisors.

2307
02:56:07,900 --> 02:56:09,720
My name is Ike Calderon Baragas.

2308
02:56:10,220 --> 02:56:14,200
I'm the director of Latino services at the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

2309
02:56:14,940 --> 02:56:17,200
I speak in strong support of item 10.

2310
02:56:17,460 --> 02:56:20,500
The families I serve rely on this county for health care,

2311
02:56:20,920 --> 02:56:22,240
legal defense and safety.

2312
02:56:22,240 --> 02:56:25,480
especially now as federal cuts threaten those services.

2313
02:56:26,020 --> 02:56:29,280
In a government this large transparency is not a luxury.

2314
02:56:29,720 --> 02:56:33,320
It is how our communities know this system is working for them.

2315
02:56:33,620 --> 02:56:37,900
And independent ethics commission and independent budget analyst and

2316
02:56:37,900 --> 02:56:43,620
independent auditor and a budget the public can actually see.

2317
02:56:43,940 --> 02:56:48,540
These are the checks or residents to serve please move this measure forward and let

2318
02:56:48,540 --> 02:56:49,940
the voters decide in November.

2319
02:56:50,420 --> 02:56:51,000
Thank you.

2320
02:56:53,010 --> 02:56:55,030
Thank you.

2321
02:56:55,570 --> 02:56:56,650
Good afternoon, supervisors.

2322
02:56:56,990 --> 02:56:58,070
My name is Fernanda Flores.

2323
02:56:58,250 --> 02:56:59,830
I'm with IOTC Local 122.

2324
02:57:00,310 --> 02:57:03,110
We represent everything that has to do with live event

2325
02:57:03,110 --> 02:57:04,990
and production here in Southern California.

2326
02:57:05,750 --> 02:57:08,490
Currently representing 1500 members.

2327
02:57:09,430 --> 02:57:12,970
We are here in full support of advancing this forward.

2328
02:57:13,410 --> 02:57:16,410
You have our continued commitment to getting this

2329
02:57:16,410 --> 02:57:19,590
not only past today but also past in November at the ballot.

2330
02:57:20,150 --> 02:57:22,370
You have done an incredible job with the

2331
02:57:22,370 --> 02:57:28,270
resources that you have, there are government entities that have budgets, have the size of the county,

2332
02:57:28,750 --> 02:57:34,090
and they have these departments in place. You all deserve those things too, to be a tool

2333
02:57:34,090 --> 02:57:38,290
to make better decisions and move our county forward. So we have our support. Thank you.

2334
02:57:39,910 --> 02:57:42,050
Thank you. Like to buy four three additional speakers,

2335
02:57:42,590 --> 02:57:47,250
Alexandra Valentin, Malik Thornton and Matthew Careney.

2336
02:57:49,610 --> 02:57:52,470
Hi. I'm here to refute the content and title

2337
02:57:52,470 --> 02:57:56,270
of this proposal, the word transparent, accountability,

2338
02:57:56,850 --> 02:57:58,710
and independent oversight sounds so good.

2339
02:57:58,850 --> 02:58:02,210
However, this bill does not, does not

2340
02:58:02,210 --> 02:58:04,290
out these purported actions.

2341
02:58:04,910 --> 02:58:08,410
How is it independent oversight when the board of supervisor

2342
02:58:08,410 --> 02:58:11,610
gets to determine who gets hired and who gets dismissed

2343
02:58:11,610 --> 02:58:13,250
when they don't like the outcome?

2344
02:58:13,570 --> 02:58:16,010
You people on the left freak out, freaked out

2345
02:58:16,010 --> 02:58:20,550
when President Trump says that he's going to be in office

2346
02:58:20,550 --> 02:58:29,290
for the third term and what you're doing is the truly authoritarian and it is disingenuous.

2347
02:58:30,150 --> 02:58:32,870
So don't, don't, don't, don't pass this bill.

2348
02:58:33,590 --> 02:58:34,830
Can you please state your name for the record?

2349
02:58:35,250 --> 02:58:35,610
Oh, yeah.

2350
02:58:35,850 --> 02:58:36,250
Jocelyn.

2351
02:58:36,310 --> 02:58:37,110
Thank you.

2352
02:58:40,600 --> 02:58:42,180
Hello, my name is Alexander Valentine.

2353
02:58:42,400 --> 02:58:46,300
I'm a deputy public defender and a board member from the San Diego Public Defender Association.

2354
02:58:47,040 --> 02:58:51,280
I support item 10 as it promotes transparency and ethical practices related to San Diego

2355
02:58:51,280 --> 02:58:51,980
County's budget.

2356
02:58:51,980 --> 02:58:57,260
At the same time, I would note opposition to item 13 as transparency can be taken too far

2357
02:58:57,260 --> 02:58:59,780
and limit government operations in restrict functionality.

2358
02:59:00,820 --> 02:59:04,440
Transparency is the foundation of public trust, especially in relation to the county's

2359
02:59:04,440 --> 02:59:04,800
budget.

2360
02:59:05,360 --> 02:59:09,480
San Diego County residents and county employees deserve the opportunity to see how budget decisions

2361
02:59:09,480 --> 02:59:13,740
are reached, who is involved and what information is being considered and allocation of funds.

2362
02:59:14,280 --> 02:59:18,640
The proposed ordinance in item 10 for independent oversight is an important step toward ensuring

2363
02:59:18,640 --> 02:59:23,720
openness, accountability, and engagement, especially when determining budget allocation and

2364
02:59:23,720 --> 02:59:24,780
use of public funds.

2365
02:59:25,280 --> 02:59:29,260
Our county continues to grow and necessary departments like the Public Defender, deserve

2366
02:59:29,260 --> 02:59:32,440
transparency from the county when budget decisions are being made.

2367
02:59:33,040 --> 02:59:37,120
Transparency is not just good governance, it is a commitment to the people being served and

2368
02:59:37,120 --> 02:59:38,360
the employees serving the community.

2369
02:59:38,680 --> 02:59:39,540
Thank you.

2370
02:59:41,010 --> 02:59:41,430
Thank you.

2371
02:59:41,830 --> 02:59:47,130
Go ahead and call three additional speakers, Vanessa Melendrez, Crystal Irving and Michelle

2372
02:59:47,770 --> 02:59:49,230
I've called your name, please come forward.

2373
03:00:00,180 --> 03:00:08,380
Good afternoon, board. My name is Vanessa Melendrez. I'm with the Filipino Workers Center with offices in

2374
03:00:08,380 --> 03:00:23,400
Vista and Shula Vista. And we serve Filipino caregivers and domestic workers in all of Southern California. And I am coming up here today to ask you to please vote yes on these reforms.

2375
03:00:25,540 --> 03:00:26,020
Because

2376
03:00:27,040 --> 03:00:29,480
And expected to call off so fast.

2377
03:00:30,520 --> 03:00:35,220
Please vote yes and support of this item, because transparency is good governance and it's

2378
03:00:35,220 --> 03:00:39,300
essential to ensuring our community can properly advocate for themselves.

2379
03:00:39,760 --> 03:00:44,940
Additionally, adding independent oversight options and including an independent budget

2380
03:00:44,940 --> 03:00:48,560
analyst will help the county spend their dollars more effectively.

2381
03:00:49,060 --> 03:00:50,220
Thank you so much.

2382
03:00:50,220 --> 03:00:52,380
Thank you.

2383
03:00:52,640 --> 03:00:53,540
Next speaker, please.

2384
03:00:55,200 --> 03:00:57,180
I don't know if Crystal is here.

2385
03:00:57,660 --> 03:00:58,760
Michelle, come on up.

2386
03:00:58,980 --> 03:00:59,720
Thank you.

2387
03:01:07,780 --> 03:01:10,360
Good afternoon, Michelle Krug.

2388
03:01:10,900 --> 03:01:13,220
And I strongly support this ordinance.

2389
03:01:14,000 --> 03:01:16,160
And I will work to get it passed.

2390
03:01:16,920 --> 03:01:23,020
I think that the transparency as other people have said before is a long time coming.

2391
03:01:24,000 --> 03:01:26,540
It definitely will make a difference.

2392
03:01:27,460 --> 03:01:32,860
I also think that when people are talking about getting 12 years, you don't just get

2393
03:01:32,860 --> 03:01:33,840
12 years.

2394
03:01:34,340 --> 03:01:38,060
What you get is the opportunity for the people to make a decision.

2395
03:01:39,060 --> 03:01:40,940
And I trust that.

2396
03:01:41,560 --> 03:01:53,000
And the bottom line is that when people have that decision, this also puts us on point

2397
03:01:53,000 --> 03:02:01,900
with the state. And I think we have been in a disadvantaged situation because our county only has eight years.

2398
03:02:02,480 --> 03:02:08,880
I think keeping it on part with the state will allow us to be able to work more effectively as partners.

2399
03:02:09,360 --> 03:02:10,000
Thank you.

2400
03:02:10,840 --> 03:02:11,240
Thank you.

2401
03:02:11,380 --> 03:02:15,780
As the next speaker is coming forward on by the remaining speakers in person, Marco Breones.

2402
03:02:15,780 --> 03:02:19,100
I want to be your Frank and Michelle Quavos.

2403
03:02:21,260 --> 03:02:25,920
Crystal Irving, President of SEIU Local 221, speaking in favor of this item, no one knows

2404
03:02:25,920 --> 03:02:30,300
better than the county employees that SEIU 221 represents, the challenges that are county

2405
03:02:30,300 --> 03:02:35,240
faces in the current national environment, no one knows better than our members, the importance

2406
03:02:35,240 --> 03:02:40,180
of providing quality services that the community depends on, now more than ever.

2407
03:02:41,000 --> 03:02:44,980
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the dozens of stakeholders that provided feedback

2408
03:02:44,980 --> 03:02:50,120
and input on this proposal. It is a comprehensive proposal that provides for transparency,

2409
03:02:50,800 --> 03:02:54,620
accountability from both county staff leadership and elected officials alike

2410
03:02:54,620 --> 03:03:00,000
that will help to support our employees and the communities that we're delivering services to,

2411
03:03:00,140 --> 03:03:05,700
which include our children, our elderly, our vulnerable, and quite frankly, all sandy agents who

2412
03:03:05,700 --> 03:03:10,980
benefit from it either directly or indirectly. This is the right proposal to bring to the voters in

2413
03:03:10,980 --> 03:03:15,190
November and we believe this is the right path forward for our county. Thank you.

2414
03:03:17,660 --> 03:03:26,560
Thank you. Go ahead and recall some of the previous speakers, Andrew Lawson, Natalie Rasky,

2415
03:03:27,060 --> 03:03:33,400
Malik Thornton, Matthew Kerney, Marco Breones, quite a very frank and Michelle Quivas.

2416
03:03:37,820 --> 03:03:46,120
Thank you so much. Thank you. The Board of Supervisors for allowing me to speak today. My name is

2417
03:03:46,120 --> 03:03:49,580
for my entire life, and it's been two of my lifetimes

2418
03:03:49,580 --> 03:03:51,620
since the charter has been reformed.

2419
03:03:51,900 --> 03:03:54,700
That means that it has been 48 years

2420
03:03:54,700 --> 03:03:56,900
that we have not touched this charter.

2421
03:03:57,280 --> 03:03:59,720
That means that it slows down important policy

2422
03:03:59,720 --> 03:04:01,600
that young people depend on.

2423
03:04:01,840 --> 03:04:04,160
That means that the board of supervisors

2424
03:04:04,160 --> 03:04:06,180
has not had real accountability

2425
03:04:06,590 --> 03:04:09,720
and dependent accountability for two of my lifetimes.

2426
03:04:10,280 --> 03:04:12,080
And that means that young people have suffered

2427
03:04:12,080 --> 03:04:15,560
and we are on the precipice of opportunity.

2428
03:04:16,460 --> 03:04:18,960
We have so much opportunity ahead of us,

2429
03:04:19,220 --> 03:04:21,940
but we will not be able to capitalize on those opportunities

2430
03:04:21,940 --> 03:04:26,180
if you don't have policies in place that allow you to do your work.

2431
03:04:26,540 --> 03:04:28,020
Because we rely on you.

2432
03:04:28,680 --> 03:04:31,800
And so I encourage you that if you care about your young constituents,

2433
03:04:32,440 --> 03:04:35,180
if you want to make sure that we have a future that includes us,

2434
03:04:35,400 --> 03:04:36,720
that we can have a house,

2435
03:04:37,080 --> 03:04:39,560
and not have to worry about being in debt for the rest of our lives.

2436
03:04:39,560 --> 03:04:42,260
Please, please make sure that you guys pass.

2437
03:04:42,480 --> 03:04:43,660
Thank you.

2438
03:04:43,740 --> 03:04:44,600
Thank you.

2439
03:04:45,220 --> 03:04:47,480
Well, now here from the individuals that requested.

2440
03:04:49,120 --> 03:04:49,940
Did I call your names, sir?

2441
03:04:50,500 --> 03:04:50,680
Thank you.

2442
03:04:53,220 --> 03:04:53,960
Good afternoon.

2443
03:04:54,340 --> 03:04:54,780
Supervisors.

2444
03:04:54,940 --> 03:04:55,660
Marco Bionez.

2445
03:04:55,800 --> 03:04:58,200
Political director of the San Diego and Imperial County's Labour Council.

2446
03:04:58,700 --> 03:05:02,860
We're proud to represent over 100 unions and 200,000 working families in our border region.

2447
03:05:03,320 --> 03:05:06,180
We're here today because we believe Martin and I is the county charter and

2448
03:05:06,180 --> 03:05:11,280
and Canada leadership, the kind of county government that workers and working families rely

2449
03:05:11,280 --> 03:05:13,340
on for fair and effective public services.

2450
03:05:13,900 --> 03:05:17,440
A more accountable county government helps ensure that policies serve the entire community,

2451
03:05:17,700 --> 03:05:18,720
not just narrow interest.

2452
03:05:19,220 --> 03:05:22,560
The people get accountability by being at the table and this measure does that.

2453
03:05:23,300 --> 03:05:26,440
These are just a few of the reasons we're proud to stand with this coalition of community members

2454
03:05:26,440 --> 03:05:29,560
and leadership working towards a better county for all San Diego's.

2455
03:05:29,560 --> 03:05:30,260
Thank you.

2456
03:05:30,820 --> 03:05:31,180
Thank you.

2457
03:05:34,680 --> 03:05:34,960
Thank you.

2458
03:05:37,140 --> 03:05:43,340
Hey everyone, my name is Gwen, I'm a researcher at UCSD and a proud member of UW-4811

2459
03:05:43,340 --> 03:05:48,240
who represents over 10,000 workers in San Diego County and I wanted to voice our strong

2460
03:05:48,240 --> 03:05:52,500
support for modernizing the charter. We're in a period of time where as a country we're

2461
03:05:52,500 --> 03:05:57,460
seeing blatant corrupt spending and outright swindling of American taxpayers at the highest levels

2462
03:05:57,460 --> 03:06:02,820
of our government. And I think it's more important than ever across all levels of government.

2463
03:06:02,820 --> 03:06:17,700
We establish stringent structures to ensure transparency and accountability in spending so we can hold our elected officials accountable, along with all other critical modernizations proposed to bring proposed to bring to our charter. So us and our workers are in strong support.

2464
03:06:19,820 --> 03:06:20,100
Thank you.

2465
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:22,640
Well now, next speaker, please.

2466
03:06:26,450 --> 03:06:32,830
Hi, my name is Dr. Michelle Kwebis, I'm a pediatric neuropsychologist, but I'm here to represent the National Union of Healthcare Workers.

2467
03:06:32,830 --> 03:06:37,570
I see lots of friendly faces that have been with us for our six and a half years, six and a half

2468
03:06:37,570 --> 03:06:38,110
one strike.

2469
03:06:38,390 --> 03:06:45,390
But here I am here to represent NUHW as supporting this transparency.

2470
03:06:45,890 --> 03:06:51,630
I want to be clear that the county is one of the largest purchasers and providers of health

2471
03:06:51,630 --> 03:06:57,450
care and that the charter reform helps us create that transparency and ensuring that health

2472
03:06:57,450 --> 03:07:05,070
dollars are spent to the most appropriately for patient care, helping the most vulnerable in our

2473
03:07:05,070 --> 03:07:12,450
community. I'm also in a large support for transparency, particularly related to the independent

2474
03:07:12,450 --> 03:07:19,370
budget analysis and independent program auditor, with respect to the allocation of funds for supporting

2475
03:07:19,370 --> 03:07:22,010
our most vulnerable populations. Thank you very much.

2476
03:07:24,940 --> 03:07:26,440
Thank you. One now here from those that

2477
03:07:26,440 --> 03:07:29,140
request to speak by phone, we'll start with our first caller.

2478
03:07:36,910 --> 03:07:41,650
All bold, most of this is self-serving, still, and

2479
03:07:41,650 --> 03:07:46,270
mud's card has an politics, but it doesn't do much for real

2480
03:07:46,270 --> 03:07:50,950
transparency or independent oversight in county government,

2481
03:07:51,530 --> 03:07:53,070
no considered card or amendment.

2482
03:07:53,630 --> 03:07:57,130
No Queens are fake transparency in county government,

2483
03:07:57,570 --> 03:07:58,950
or better than math.

2484
03:07:59,750 --> 03:08:02,390
No reason don't stand term limits, and what,

2485
03:08:02,390 --> 03:08:07,210
Something you are in term in the middle of it is a huge conflict of interest.

2486
03:08:08,070 --> 03:08:15,070
This proposal would also impose term limits on the sheriff, DA, and other county elected officials

2487
03:08:15,070 --> 03:08:21,350
who currently have none, which, by the way, is against the state law.

2488
03:08:21,910 --> 03:08:28,770
If they all have the same term limits and guarantees officers with same political beliefs,

2489
03:08:28,770 --> 03:08:32,350
Nice to have a bunch of analysts on the program,

2490
03:08:32,590 --> 03:08:37,870
but these are political appointees and in no way independent.

2491
03:08:38,890 --> 03:08:42,670
We'll get from the next caller.

2492
03:08:48,550 --> 03:08:49,350
Amen to that.

2493
03:08:49,530 --> 03:08:50,050
Go follow here.

2494
03:08:50,210 --> 03:08:51,730
And to the scripted people,

2495
03:08:51,810 --> 03:08:52,490
er, er,

2496
03:08:52,530 --> 03:08:52,650
er,

2497
03:08:53,050 --> 03:08:53,430
er,

2498
03:08:53,570 --> 03:08:53,650
er,

2499
03:08:54,630 --> 03:08:55,190
er,

2500
03:08:55,450 --> 03:09:02,810
Again, you're here because you've been asked to be here, even more clearly, is you are all,

2501
03:09:03,750 --> 03:09:09,110
you're truly not being attention to this board and their lack of transparency and total

2502
03:09:09,110 --> 03:09:14,350
opposition of this item totally, totally, totally, totally, term limits, especially for the

2503
03:09:14,350 --> 03:09:23,650
ones like Tara, who have proven that she's been totally abusive by taking advantage of the

2504
03:09:23,650 --> 03:09:30,790
entitled and privileged. Honestly, how much time do you need to further destroy our county

2505
03:09:30,790 --> 03:09:37,670
and further run it to the ground, but that's even possible. I hope the people who put their

2506
03:09:37,670 --> 03:09:44,370
face in this corrupt system and board wake up, truly question everything, wake the freak up

2507
03:09:44,370 --> 03:09:44,850
Seriously,

2508
03:09:47,820 --> 03:09:49,840
ladies and men, total slaves,

2509
03:09:51,870 --> 03:09:52,610
I'm Doug.

2510
03:09:53,730 --> 03:09:55,110
I'm here from the next caller.

2511
03:10:03,460 --> 03:10:05,280
Good afternoon and my name is Teriance Galley.

2512
03:10:05,380 --> 03:10:10,040
I came today to express my opposition to item number 10.

2513
03:10:10,360 --> 03:10:12,780
I think a lot of these changes are useful.

2514
03:10:13,020 --> 03:10:18,400
However, they seem to clarify what seems to be the real purpose of the charter changes,

2515
03:10:18,980 --> 03:10:25,520
which is to ensure that you three board of supervisors supporting these charter changes will have a third term.

2516
03:10:25,520 --> 03:10:32,800
It seems if you were really serious about these changes, you would bring them after the next election cycle.

2517
03:10:33,280 --> 03:10:40,080
I support transparency by independent bodies, but I noticed that nearly all of those opposed or arguing in opposition

2518
03:10:40,080 --> 03:10:43,800
because of the lengthening of the current board members' term.

2519
03:10:44,680 --> 03:10:47,960
Why are they both in the same ordinance?

2520
03:10:47,960 --> 03:10:57,600
Carter changes their serious and important to our county and need to be separated into different proposals and not lumped together.

2521
03:10:58,140 --> 03:11:00,180
Thank you for hearing my concerns this afternoon.

2522
03:11:02,460 --> 03:11:03,680
Thank you.

2523
03:11:03,940 --> 03:11:05,460
And we'll hear from our next caller.

2524
03:11:13,540 --> 03:11:17,600
My name is Kathleen Mippitt and good afternoon Council's Board.

2525
03:11:18,680 --> 03:11:32,080
No one will benefit by ensuring a third term except these three board majority and they should not be able to vote on an item that will benefit them.

2526
03:11:32,660 --> 03:11:39,260
Like many of the other items that are put forth whether it's on the agenda or whether it's by the board of supervisors.

2527
03:11:39,260 --> 03:11:46,180
There seems to be an intention to obscure and to get things passed the public.

2528
03:11:46,460 --> 03:11:51,700
You need to have simple straightforward language, and this is not straightforward.

2529
03:11:52,260 --> 03:11:56,880
From the title, it sounds like it's a great idea until you read the details.

2530
03:11:57,680 --> 03:11:59,520
And the Dell was always in the details.

2531
03:12:00,240 --> 03:12:02,180
So please, I oppose this.

2532
03:12:02,360 --> 03:12:07,520
And I think you can tell by the people who are there, the only ones who have a conflict of interest

2533
03:12:07,520 --> 03:12:09,860
are the ones who are supporting it.

2534
03:12:10,120 --> 03:12:11,340
Thank you for letting me speak.

2535
03:12:13,430 --> 03:12:13,930
Thank you.

2536
03:12:14,070 --> 03:12:15,170
We'll hear from the next caller.

2537
03:12:22,850 --> 03:12:23,410
Thank you, Walker.

2538
03:12:23,590 --> 03:12:25,510
Good afternoon, and I oppose.

2539
03:12:26,250 --> 03:12:28,810
Papa Tassen had adequate time to review

2540
03:12:28,810 --> 03:12:31,510
very important details that deserve scrutiny,

2541
03:12:32,210 --> 03:12:35,170
including items such as Supervisorial Control,

2542
03:12:35,370 --> 03:12:37,110
Over employees, and contracts.

2543
03:12:37,810 --> 03:12:39,490
We've got in term limits of two

2544
03:12:39,490 --> 03:12:41,310
or sufficient for a U.S. president.

2545
03:12:41,490 --> 03:12:43,130
There's sufficient for supervisors.

2546
03:12:43,130 --> 03:12:49,790
It raises legitimate questions about who the interests are being served when elected officials

2547
03:12:49,790 --> 03:12:52,730
write a measure that extends their own tenure.

2548
03:12:53,270 --> 03:12:58,570
Terminal amounts are at the core of democracy meant to promote broader participation.

2549
03:12:59,190 --> 03:13:06,730
We do the undo influences, prevent corruption and bring diverse experiences and innovative

2550
03:13:06,730 --> 03:13:13,910
of ideas to policy making. In reality, the most direct beneficiaries here are the supervisors

2551
03:13:13,910 --> 03:13:21,470
placing it before the public under a really deceptive guy's of charter modernization.

2552
03:13:22,170 --> 03:13:23,470
No one to fight them.

2553
03:13:25,770 --> 03:13:27,470
Thank you. On to the next caller.

2554
03:13:34,380 --> 03:13:39,960
Good afternoon. My name is Becky Rappen. While I support many of the transparency and accountability

2555
03:13:39,960 --> 03:13:45,520
measures included in this proposal. I urge you to reject this charter reform packages

2556
03:13:45,520 --> 03:13:50,480
curtain written. The report highlights several important additions, including independent

2557
03:13:50,480 --> 03:13:55,640
finance analysis, ethics oversight, and improved public access to government information.

2558
03:13:56,640 --> 03:14:01,620
Unfortunately, those reforms have been bundled together with a proposal to increase term limits

2559
03:14:01,620 --> 03:14:06,980
for county supervisors. The people with San Diego County have already spoken on this issue.

2560
03:14:06,980 --> 03:14:12,660
voters approved the current two-term limit because they believe regular turnover and

2561
03:14:12,660 --> 03:14:18,140
elective offices process promotes accountability and creates opportunities for new voices

2562
03:14:18,140 --> 03:14:19,140
and perspectives.

2563
03:14:19,800 --> 03:14:25,920
Extending term limits by 50% is a major policy change and should not be packaged alongside

2564
03:14:25,920 --> 03:14:28,580
popular transparency updates.

2565
03:14:29,100 --> 03:14:32,260
I'm also disappointed that there was no presentation for this item.

2566
03:14:32,260 --> 03:14:36,700
The public, public wouldn't benefit from an explanation for each.

2567
03:14:38,260 --> 03:14:39,380
The next caller.

2568
03:14:45,400 --> 03:14:47,480
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors.

2569
03:14:48,160 --> 03:14:49,840
Excuse me, and Bill here.

2570
03:14:50,440 --> 03:14:55,100
I call them because I think it's important for you to realize that it's here in the incorporated.

2571
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:10,840
There's estimated some 30-35% of those consider ourselves independent. And this optics does not work well for us.

2572
03:15:11,160 --> 03:15:20,980
Because it's clear that you have obstacles that really intent the charter change to allow yourself a third term.

2573
03:15:21,500 --> 03:15:26,920
And no matter what else you want to accomplish, it's suspicious that it just isn't even

2574
03:15:26,920 --> 03:15:30,000
included in the title, what you really want to accomplish.

2575
03:15:30,060 --> 03:15:32,780
If it's a good thing, why isn't it part of the title?

2576
03:15:33,700 --> 03:15:36,280
And if these are all really good things, why are they bundled?

2577
03:15:36,400 --> 03:15:39,360
Why wouldn't we have separate charter changes?

2578
03:15:40,000 --> 03:15:45,080
This would show how really valuable you fill each of the items are.

2579
03:15:45,080 --> 03:15:52,080
I too was looking forward to staff presentation because the explanations are the real.

2580
03:15:53,380 --> 03:15:54,720
You, you from the next caller.

2581
03:16:01,650 --> 03:16:02,410
Hey, it's truth.

2582
03:16:02,610 --> 03:16:03,690
This item is the only reason.

2583
03:16:04,030 --> 03:16:07,190
20 minute late, Connie Mommy Tara is here in person today.

2584
03:16:07,430 --> 03:16:08,930
Using her baby as a prop.

2585
03:16:09,290 --> 03:16:10,750
She wants to be crowned publicly.

2586
03:16:11,390 --> 03:16:12,730
Well, pride comes before a fall.

2587
03:16:13,050 --> 03:16:16,310
We've seen your back and deals on everything from the jail, which resulted in lawsuits.

2588
03:16:16,310 --> 03:16:21,290
So, the Center on Policy Initiative on these extended thermons that 60% of voters already

2589
03:16:21,290 --> 03:16:22,330
posed in 2010.

2590
03:16:22,930 --> 03:16:26,670
Maybe the reason Tara wanted supervisors to live from outside of their district is because

2591
03:16:26,670 --> 03:16:30,070
she has a house in the city of San Diego, and I'm going to want to have the house in La Mesa.

2592
03:16:30,910 --> 03:16:35,190
Tara and Tara and her Marionette, Pride, Babies, Menwellas, are not interested in transparency.

2593
03:16:35,530 --> 03:16:40,230
They're interested in a power graph to create their personal phyism and do a spray UCSD,

2594
03:16:40,250 --> 03:16:43,930
S.A.A.U. and the Baudica Shark and Trace Council both funded with our money.

2595
03:16:43,930 --> 03:16:49,150
Now, Tara for prison 2026 would be real accountability, especially since Tara was found

2596
03:16:49,150 --> 03:16:52,850
guilty of abusing her authority as a part-time lover of art in North Park.

2597
03:16:53,350 --> 03:16:56,610
One of the queen's parents isn't bringing it to accountability when she can't even commit

2598
03:16:56,610 --> 03:16:57,910
to a meeting start time.

2599
03:16:58,430 --> 03:17:02,430
All she wants is to ensure her reign of Tara is indefinite, no corrupt county queen.

2600
03:17:04,250 --> 03:17:05,610
Well, here for the next call,

2601
03:17:12,890 --> 03:17:15,050
I'm going to just take a minute.

2602
03:17:15,050 --> 03:17:21,090
What is three Republican white men want to extend a term on it?

2603
03:17:22,070 --> 03:17:24,050
How would you three women react since?

2604
03:17:24,770 --> 03:17:29,070
This item has always been a scam, a lie, an insult to American citizens who voted for

2605
03:17:29,070 --> 03:17:29,550
term limits.

2606
03:17:29,630 --> 03:17:32,770
It is a power grab by clean Tara as their ladies and ladies and ladies.

2607
03:17:33,090 --> 03:17:37,650
Monica, do you think you'll ever be chairwoman if Tara's on the board and definitely?

2608
03:17:39,190 --> 03:17:42,950
The three women on this board are in over their head fancy and they can manage the

2609
03:17:42,950 --> 03:17:48,850
billion dollar budget even with extended terms. The board can be transparent and accountable

2610
03:17:48,850 --> 03:17:54,230
beginning to day without changing the charter. I'm going to engage it can be improved today

2611
03:17:54,230 --> 03:17:58,790
by lifting the restrictions on the public speakers as dictated by Queen Tara, especially those

2612
03:17:58,790 --> 03:18:04,550
speaking in opposition. Tara stands for no teams is transparent of her hunger for more power.

2613
03:18:04,690 --> 03:18:12,930
Would you like that in its whole health behavior term? Don't be her minion. And we're

2614
03:18:12,930 --> 03:18:15,630
we want, almost on their needs.

2615
03:18:16,390 --> 03:18:17,670
I'll go to the next caller.

2616
03:18:24,740 --> 03:18:25,540
Hello, Supervisor.

2617
03:18:25,700 --> 03:18:26,600
My name is Madison.

2618
03:18:27,360 --> 03:18:31,020
And although I am a favor of modernizing the county charter and increasing chance

2619
03:18:31,020 --> 03:18:35,240
fancy, I would ask you to vote no on this proposal because the San Diego county

2620
03:18:35,240 --> 03:18:39,460
voters already decided that two terms is the appropriate limit for this office.

2621
03:18:40,040 --> 03:18:43,740
What concerns me most is that the officials who would direct the benefit from this

2622
03:18:43,740 --> 03:18:45,980
change are the ones advancing it.

2623
03:18:45,980 --> 03:18:50,700
Family restructuring with the high cost of living. Communities are concerned about public safety,

2624
03:18:51,000 --> 03:18:55,700
homelessness, mental health, infrastructure, and the future of our region. Those are the issues

2625
03:18:55,700 --> 03:19:01,080
that deserve our attention. Not extending term limits for those already in power. Our government

2626
03:19:01,080 --> 03:19:06,240
is strongest when leadership is continually renewed and opportunities exist for new people to step forward

2627
03:19:06,240 --> 03:19:10,720
and serve. Our perspectives can bring new solutions to long-standing problems.

2628
03:19:10,720 --> 03:19:15,180
So, voters established a two-term limit, and that standard has served our county well.

2629
03:19:15,640 --> 03:19:20,680
I ask you to reject this proposal and preserve the term limits at San Diego County Residence already chose.

2630
03:19:20,720 --> 03:19:21,500
Thank you.

2631
03:19:23,160 --> 03:19:24,080
Thank you.

2632
03:19:25,140 --> 03:19:26,440
And we'll hear from the next caller.

2633
03:19:34,150 --> 03:19:43,210
Afternoon, my name is Diane Grace, and I am coming before you to voice my opposition to item 10,

2634
03:19:43,410 --> 03:19:47,570
which would advance the charter reform package to the November ballot.

2635
03:19:47,570 --> 03:19:54,210
It is costly to put such a divisive proposal on the ballot that will probably fail because

2636
03:19:54,210 --> 03:19:58,530
of the evitory else that have already been very negative.

2637
03:19:59,310 --> 03:20:06,190
Oversight bodies should be truly independent and the language doesn't seem to support that.

2638
03:20:07,150 --> 03:20:13,230
And current supervisor should not benefit from changing their own term limits.

2639
03:20:13,230 --> 03:20:17,970
Voter should be allowed to consider each reform proposal separately.

2640
03:20:18,590 --> 03:20:27,690
The agenda item title doesn't tell you it's true intent that they want the present supervisors to have three terms.

2641
03:20:27,990 --> 03:20:33,450
As mentioned before, why not include this in the title. Thank you.

2642
03:20:35,270 --> 03:20:37,750
Thank you, and we're here from the final caller.

2643
03:20:37,750 --> 03:20:38,310
Good

2644
03:20:47,300 --> 03:20:51,780
afternoon. My name is Nadina Kada-Kashan. I am a Deputy Public Defender and a member

2645
03:20:51,780 --> 03:20:58,280
of the San Diego Public Defenders Association and I'm here to express my support for item 10.

2646
03:20:59,280 --> 03:21:05,100
Transparency is the absolute foundation to public trust, particularly regarding our county's budget.

2647
03:21:05,860 --> 03:21:12,940
Our residents and hardworking county employees deserve full visibility into how our budget decisions are being reached.

2648
03:21:12,940 --> 03:21:17,700
who's at the table and what data is driving the decisions that are being made.

2649
03:21:18,580 --> 03:21:21,580
For essential departments, like the Public Defenders Office,

2650
03:21:22,200 --> 03:21:26,980
clarity on decisions affecting our funding and affecting our budget are crucial

2651
03:21:26,980 --> 03:21:30,660
because it directly impacts our independent community members

2652
03:21:30,660 --> 03:21:36,960
and our ability as an entire holistic office serving those independent community members.

2653
03:21:36,960 --> 03:21:43,780
This proposal strengthens independent ethics oversight, provides nonpartisan fiscal and budget

2654
03:21:43,780 --> 03:21:49,360
analysis, and creates this independent evaluation of county programs so that's the

2655
03:21:49,360 --> 03:21:50,140
public.

2656
03:21:50,780 --> 03:21:54,320
You're in sure, last time I remember that concludes public comment on this item.

2657
03:21:55,500 --> 03:21:58,040
Okay, thank you all very much.

2658
03:21:59,440 --> 03:22:03,740
I guess I'll just begin happy to make a motion to prove this item.

2659
03:22:05,100 --> 03:22:11,220
I first just want to thank everyone for this has been a long process, there's been huge amounts of conversation and input.

2660
03:22:12,900 --> 03:22:19,300
People began putting these ideas forward a number of years ago and it's really been an iterative conversation

2661
03:22:20,540 --> 03:22:26,240
where some good ideas emerge and some bad ideas emerge and bad ideas got tossed out and good ideas got stronger.

2662
03:22:26,240 --> 03:22:30,520
And the process of having these conversations made,

2663
03:22:31,200 --> 03:22:34,860
the package of reforms better and more powerful.

2664
03:22:35,520 --> 03:22:38,560
And I think that we've really arrived in a great place.

2665
03:22:39,140 --> 03:22:41,840
This has been a long stakeholder process

2666
03:22:41,840 --> 03:22:43,820
driven by residents and community groups

2667
03:22:43,820 --> 03:22:46,420
and business partners and our labor partners.

2668
03:22:46,720 --> 03:22:48,600
And I just want to thank you for your leadership.

2669
03:22:50,800 --> 03:22:53,800
This final version has made a number of changes

2670
03:22:53,800 --> 03:22:56,280
and reflects a number of changes made along the way.

2671
03:22:56,820 --> 03:22:59,800
Most recently, it removed term limit changes

2672
03:22:59,800 --> 03:23:03,500
for independently elected county offices in response

2673
03:23:03,500 --> 03:23:05,540
to input from the sheriff and the DA.

2674
03:23:06,320 --> 03:23:10,000
We also heard concerns about ballot question clarity

2675
03:23:10,520 --> 03:23:12,120
and those concerns have been addressed.

2676
03:23:12,940 --> 03:23:15,900
But the heart of the reforms remains strong.

2677
03:23:17,000 --> 03:23:19,400
We still do not have an independent ethics commission.

2678
03:23:19,840 --> 03:23:21,440
This try to reform and establish that.

2679
03:23:21,440 --> 03:23:25,580
We still do not have an independent budget analyst or an independent program auditor.

2680
03:23:26,280 --> 03:23:29,060
This measure gives voters the chance to change that.

2681
03:23:29,540 --> 03:23:35,080
This measure gives the public stronghold tools to see how money is spent, whether programs

2682
03:23:35,080 --> 03:23:39,920
are working, and whether government is meeting the standards that people deserve.

2683
03:23:40,840 --> 03:23:45,680
And it does all this in a revenue neutral way because no new spending would be permitted,

2684
03:23:46,420 --> 03:23:49,240
and no reduction in kind of service would be allowed.

2685
03:23:49,240 --> 03:24:10,020
So again, I would like to thank the broad coalition supporting and championing this reform package, including firefighters, our deputy sheriffs, environmental advocates, labor unions, civil rights groups, reproductive health advocates, attorneys groups, small business leaders, community organizations and others across San Diego County.

2686
03:24:10,840 --> 03:24:15,620
This has been a very broad-tent process, and I will tell you,

2687
03:24:15,940 --> 03:24:18,660
has been incredibly interesting and difficult,

2688
03:24:19,100 --> 03:24:22,500
because these are groups who not only don't agree on every issue,

2689
03:24:23,040 --> 03:24:24,540
often agree on no issues.

2690
03:24:25,260 --> 03:24:29,080
So to have found common ground on a package of reforms

2691
03:24:29,080 --> 03:24:31,800
to make our government work better for everyone,

2692
03:24:32,060 --> 03:24:34,680
has been, I think, pretty extraordinary,

2693
03:24:34,680 --> 03:24:41,820
and I am very excited to give the voters the opportunity to make a decision for themselves.

2694
03:24:42,560 --> 03:24:47,880
Again, as has been said from the very beginning and as I've said many times,

2695
03:24:48,480 --> 03:24:53,240
these are not questions that are up to us as members of the County Board of Supervisors.

2696
03:24:53,780 --> 03:24:57,820
These are questions that are up to the voters.

2697
03:24:58,660 --> 03:25:02,900
These are questions that can only and should only be decided by voters.

2698
03:25:02,900 --> 03:25:15,700
The question around the structure of our charter and the rules governing our region are basically the constitutional questions for our community and these are questions that are left to the voters.

2699
03:25:16,260 --> 03:25:31,000
So what I think we can do and the best we can do in our positions as supervisors is to put forward an option for voters to consider and decide whether these are reforms that they'd like to see adopted and move forward or not.

2700
03:25:31,000 --> 03:25:44,160
And I'll be very proud to put that on the ballot, but ultimately we'll trust that our voters are smart and wise and capable of making good decisions for themselves about the rules to govern our region.

2701
03:25:44,800 --> 03:25:45,920
So I'm happy to make that motion.

2702
03:25:46,680 --> 03:25:49,320
I would like to urge my colleagues to support.

2703
03:25:50,660 --> 03:25:54,400
And with that, I can turn it over to Supervisor Desmond.

2704
03:25:55,140 --> 03:25:57,340
And we have a second on the floor by share.

2705
03:25:57,340 --> 03:25:58,360
I'm not going to waste that.

2706
03:25:58,920 --> 03:26:00,080
Thank you, Madam Chair.

2707
03:26:00,220 --> 03:26:01,060
Appreciate it.

2708
03:26:01,340 --> 03:26:03,440
I've made my position on the proposed charter

2709
03:26:03,440 --> 03:26:05,960
amendments of quite clear, in our previous

2710
03:26:05,960 --> 03:26:08,460
board hearings, I'm not going to be supporting it today.

2711
03:26:09,280 --> 03:26:12,320
And I'd like to ask voters of San Diego County to reject

2712
03:26:12,320 --> 03:26:14,560
this deceptive charter reform.

2713
03:26:16,460 --> 03:26:18,760
The voters, I think, are being deceived by using

2714
03:26:18,760 --> 03:26:21,880
the attractive language such as transparency, accountability,

2715
03:26:22,300 --> 03:26:23,220
and independent oversight.

2716
03:26:24,120 --> 03:26:25,600
We should be doing those things already.

2717
03:26:25,600 --> 03:26:34,520
And we should be, that's our job, that's what you elected us for, is to be transparent, to be accountable, and have independent oversight.

2718
03:26:34,640 --> 03:26:38,000
All of those things we can do without a charter amendment.

2719
03:26:39,800 --> 03:26:42,320
So this isn't about modernizing county government.

2720
03:26:42,600 --> 03:26:50,120
To me, it's a power grab by extending our own term limits and creating a political patronage system.

2721
03:26:50,740 --> 03:26:54,420
Section 500.4 of the amended charter would require

2722
03:26:54,420 --> 03:27:00,220
or top-level positions of the county to be approved by the board before they are hired.

2723
03:27:01,180 --> 03:27:05,840
That's getting our fingers in my opinion, weighed down deep into the weeds, and these

2724
03:27:05,840 --> 03:27:15,680
are going to become political appointments as opposed to merit or merit-based appointments.

2725
03:27:16,540 --> 03:27:20,360
This proposal would make all leadership positions at the top of the county, a government

2726
03:27:20,360 --> 03:27:26,000
political, meaning people only get the job if they have the right politics, not the right

2727
03:27:26,000 --> 03:27:26,640
qualifications.

2728
03:27:28,140 --> 03:27:32,640
Section 501.9 are the amended charter, the non-innofferenance clause.

2729
03:27:32,920 --> 03:27:35,360
That's us, not interfering with the staff.

2730
03:27:35,800 --> 03:27:40,180
Historically, regulate how supervisors and staff interact with the county staff and bars

2731
03:27:40,180 --> 03:27:43,180
us from giving county staff directives.

2732
03:27:43,620 --> 03:27:49,860
But if we have the yay or nay on hiring, on hiring them, to me, that's, you know, getting

2733
03:27:49,860 --> 03:27:56,540
getting too deep into the staff section of the county.

2734
03:27:57,100 --> 03:27:59,040
There's an additional section that grants

2735
03:27:59,040 --> 03:28:01,120
a board of supervisors in their staff,

2736
03:28:01,400 --> 03:28:03,940
the ability to weigh in on the hiring and firing

2737
03:28:03,940 --> 03:28:07,220
of more than 600 manager positions at the county.

2738
03:28:08,800 --> 03:28:10,180
So the board should not, I think,

2739
03:28:10,300 --> 03:28:13,120
under any circumstances, interfere with the hiring process

2740
03:28:13,120 --> 03:28:15,540
of the county management up and down the organization.

2741
03:28:16,060 --> 03:28:17,680
That's what we hire the CAO for.

2742
03:28:17,920 --> 03:28:19,700
That's what the CAO works for us

2743
03:28:19,700 --> 03:28:21,720
and then everybody else works for the CAO.

2744
03:28:22,140 --> 03:28:23,720
The CAO's not doing their job,

2745
03:28:23,920 --> 03:28:26,600
then we need to rethink that process,

2746
03:28:26,920 --> 03:28:29,260
but we shouldn't be hiring people

2747
03:28:29,800 --> 03:28:31,580
into the other different levels of the county.

2748
03:28:32,600 --> 03:28:37,280
So, Section 660, the amount of charter would extend

2749
03:28:37,280 --> 03:28:40,800
supervisors' term limit from two years to two terms

2750
03:28:40,800 --> 03:28:44,200
to three four-year terms for total of 12 years.

2751
03:28:45,340 --> 03:28:47,160
There had already been pointed out supervisors

2752
03:28:47,160 --> 03:28:51,900
that was passed by 68% of the vote of the two terms in 2010.

2753
03:28:52,580 --> 03:28:55,120
So San Diego County residents have already spoken.

2754
03:28:56,800 --> 03:29:00,480
The five of us here, we all ran with the understanding that we get two terms.

2755
03:29:01,240 --> 03:29:06,440
And now that we're in office in the office, we want to change the rules for ourselves

2756
03:29:06,440 --> 03:29:08,280
and give ourselves an extra term.

2757
03:29:08,440 --> 03:29:09,480
I don't think that's right.

2758
03:29:09,540 --> 03:29:14,000
If we do this third term, it should only apply to new supervisors.

2759
03:29:15,420 --> 03:29:20,440
Section 702 creates an independent budget analyst at analysts and program auditor.

2760
03:29:20,720 --> 03:29:24,160
I don't know why this would have to go to a vote of the people, I can't we just do that.

2761
03:29:24,660 --> 03:29:27,520
That sounds great, but how truly independent are they?

2762
03:29:28,180 --> 03:29:30,480
We the board would hire and fire them.

2763
03:29:30,860 --> 03:29:34,780
We'd decide their salaries, and they would report directly to us.

2764
03:29:35,480 --> 03:29:37,060
They need reporting to the people.

2765
03:29:37,300 --> 03:29:41,420
They need to be independent, same thing with ethics commission.

2766
03:29:41,420 --> 03:29:45,560
the ethics commission will be appointed by the supervisors and our county council who I trust,

2767
03:29:45,920 --> 03:29:51,440
but he works for this county board of supervisors. So I question how independent these offices

2768
03:29:51,440 --> 03:29:59,580
would be. So I can't support this. To me it's two self-service serving. We're sugarcoding this

2769
03:30:00,460 --> 03:30:05,840
Adding an extra term with the terms of accountability, transparency, and independent oversight.

2770
03:30:06,400 --> 03:30:08,060
We should already be doing those things.

2771
03:30:08,540 --> 03:30:12,460
And again, I would encourage Sandiagan to reject this deceptive term.

2772
03:30:13,180 --> 03:30:13,600
Thanks.

2773
03:30:16,320 --> 03:30:16,980
Super, thank you.

2774
03:30:18,060 --> 03:30:21,580
I'm sure I really want to get to yes.

2775
03:30:22,280 --> 03:30:27,460
And I'm not trying to poke at you all, but I really want to get to yes.

2776
03:30:27,460 --> 03:30:29,420
There's so many good things in this.

2777
03:30:29,420 --> 03:30:36,100
I'm going to offer a friendly amendment to the areas where I have difficulty.

2778
03:30:38,640 --> 03:30:44,440
We've never, this will be the first in the county to have retroactive termimants.

2779
03:30:45,240 --> 03:30:46,540
It's never been done in the state.

2780
03:30:47,980 --> 03:30:53,440
It's always all termimants have been moving forward with newly elected.

2781
03:30:55,500 --> 03:31:02,260
And I fear there's not your intention to have three more terms, but rather one, making it

2782
03:31:02,260 --> 03:31:03,000
12 for everybody.

2783
03:31:03,360 --> 03:31:04,360
And I get that.

2784
03:31:04,580 --> 03:31:06,200
But it's never been tested in court.

2785
03:31:06,640 --> 03:31:12,340
And if it were tested, it would give us the potential of being here for 20 years, not all

2786
03:31:12,340 --> 03:31:19,560
of us, but for all, for us long-tooth folks, you and I would have 20 years.

2787
03:31:21,680 --> 03:31:28,640
So, my first amendment, or is a group amendment, but the first portion, would be that the

2788
03:31:28,640 --> 03:31:33,320
term limits would apply for the new terms, not for anybody who's already in office.

2789
03:31:34,020 --> 03:31:45,230
The second thing is we're changing the language in much of this, our colleague, Supervisor

2790
03:31:45,230 --> 03:31:52,950
judgment hit is we have a moat around purchasing right now where we can't unduly influence

2791
03:31:52,950 --> 03:32:00,970
them and we have all sorts of protections against single source contracts that were

2792
03:32:00,970 --> 03:32:04,910
working with the public's money. We want to make sure that those protections are there.

2793
03:32:05,510 --> 03:32:12,590
I fear that by removing that moat that we are running the risk of having undue influence

2794
03:32:12,590 --> 03:32:18,930
on the decisions. So I would prefer that that be taken out, that section 701, excuse me,

2795
03:32:19,050 --> 03:32:28,470
705.3. So we wouldn't be able to interact with the purchasing department or the contracting

2796
03:32:28,470 --> 03:32:38,870
staff directly. The way we have it currently. The third thing is I would like to remove the

2797
03:32:38,870 --> 03:32:43,030
post-language empowering the board to confirm or remove county staff.

2798
03:32:45,410 --> 03:32:51,410
I think civil services is important, and I think that the language that we're using

2799
03:32:52,110 --> 03:32:59,810
could be reinterpreted by future boards to go much deeper, and I don't think, you know, if

2800
03:32:59,810 --> 03:33:04,890
I fill pot holes in my district, maybe I just want to be the best pot hole filler there

2801
03:33:04,890 --> 03:33:09,270
and my party registration shouldn't matter.

2802
03:33:09,890 --> 03:33:11,710
But when you have this kind of oversight,

2803
03:33:12,050 --> 03:33:13,750
when you have political tensions,

2804
03:33:14,490 --> 03:33:17,490
all of a sudden we're putting all sorts of pressure

2805
03:33:17,490 --> 03:33:19,990
on civil service that shouldn't be there.

2806
03:33:20,470 --> 03:33:22,630
Though the running of government

2807
03:33:24,090 --> 03:33:26,450
shouldn't be regulated by the elected.

2808
03:33:27,690 --> 03:33:31,190
So I don't believe there's adequate protections

2809
03:33:32,270 --> 03:33:41,630
that the next board doesn't say, everybody's an ACAO, and this, and redefining the positions

2810
03:33:41,630 --> 03:33:46,330
as arbitrary, and that could easily be done with a three-volt majority.

2811
03:33:47,070 --> 03:33:53,210
So I'd like to see that removed, and then, of course, requiring the independent auditor be

2812
03:33:53,210 --> 03:33:59,850
elected in accountable to the public, I don't want this person to be a political appointee.

2813
03:33:59,850 --> 03:34:06,230
We, the way it's written, three members of this board could choose that political pointy.

2814
03:34:07,030 --> 03:34:11,530
And I'm not suggesting that this board's going to be nefarious.

2815
03:34:12,270 --> 03:34:19,650
But what happens if five Biden's get elected to follow us or five Trump's?

2816
03:34:20,050 --> 03:34:23,210
And I threw them both, so everyone had somebody they may not like.

2817
03:34:24,870 --> 03:34:26,390
Are you going to be happy with these rules?

2818
03:34:26,390 --> 03:34:40,410
If they have that kind of power, you see, if I was in a various person, I could weaponize those audits in target political folks because they report directly to three members of the board.

2819
03:34:41,250 --> 03:34:46,450
They should report to five, but if there's a three board, three member board, I mean majority.

2820
03:34:47,650 --> 03:34:56,090
I could, I don't like the answer or county council gives me, so I'll direct them to audit them.

2821
03:34:57,350 --> 03:35:04,270
Or if I don't like what somebody else says, maybe behavior health isn't giving me the answers I like.

2822
03:35:04,770 --> 03:35:13,370
So I put them through an audit, or maybe I go after the sheriff or anybody else.

2823
03:35:13,370 --> 03:35:23,710
And so I'm worried that we're giving incredible power to the people that follow us in office and I'm not comfortable with that.

2824
03:35:24,350 --> 03:35:29,130
So I want to explain why I felt strongly about these areas.

2825
03:35:30,290 --> 03:35:32,510
The likelihood of you accepting it is slim.

2826
03:35:32,830 --> 03:35:35,550
However, I really want to get to yes.

2827
03:35:35,750 --> 03:35:38,010
There's a lot of other items, the FX committee.

2828
03:35:38,530 --> 03:35:42,990
I was appalled when I got elected and found out that we report to no one.

2829
03:35:42,990 --> 03:35:50,350
And I thought, how crazy is that? Why don't we just go with the FPC? Well, they have a two million population cap.

2830
03:35:51,230 --> 03:35:58,450
We're at 3.3. We don't qualify. Even if we wanted to contract with the FPC, we can't get one.

2831
03:35:58,530 --> 03:36:04,130
Because we're too big. So this solves that problem. And that's a big problem.

2832
03:36:04,130 --> 03:36:16,290
But it puts us at risk down the road, if the people that replace us aren't as good is where the board is now.

2833
03:36:17,010 --> 03:36:19,310
So that's why I'm asking for these amendments.

2834
03:36:22,730 --> 03:36:28,430
If you accept them, I will gladly vote for this and I'll cheer for it.

2835
03:36:28,430 --> 03:36:33,550
And while I can't campaign in my office for it, I certainly will make it known in my personal

2836
03:36:33,550 --> 03:36:36,690
circles how much I could support this.

2837
03:36:37,030 --> 03:36:43,450
But short of those changes, I'm just too worried that we're solving a problem with a bigger

2838
03:36:43,450 --> 03:36:49,090
problem because while this board may be in the straight and narrow, we don't know who's

2839
03:36:49,090 --> 03:36:50,290
going to follow us.

2840
03:36:54,270 --> 03:36:55,830
I'm asking for the amendment.

2841
03:36:56,530 --> 03:36:59,710
So I talked a long time and we've may have lost what I was saying to start with.

2842
03:36:59,710 --> 03:37:02,030
I think it's three.

2843
03:37:02,430 --> 03:37:13,270
You had one about term limits, one about term limits, one about the appointment and confirmation process and one about the independent auditor.

2844
03:37:14,190 --> 03:37:15,050
Four total.

2845
03:37:15,830 --> 03:37:18,370
Four total in the package.

2846
03:37:19,330 --> 03:37:22,990
And I think that you all know this.

2847
03:37:23,490 --> 03:37:25,610
When I ask for an amendment, you give it to me.

2848
03:37:25,610 --> 03:37:31,310
go for it. So I wanted to package him together. So give me one. I wouldn't be misleading.

2849
03:37:31,570 --> 03:37:35,930
You went to believing I'm going to vote for one. It's a package of four. But I wanted

2850
03:37:35,930 --> 03:37:42,370
to make sure I was clear on that yesterday, you were on the line you mean I've heard, but I

2851
03:37:42,370 --> 03:37:48,410
had asked for an amendment. It fell short. And so I had to, I want, out of clarity, I want

2852
03:37:48,410 --> 03:37:54,130
to announce that I would not be voting for it, not because I was angry, but because I didn't want

2853
03:37:54,130 --> 03:38:00,750
mislead anybody. At that point when I announced I wasn't going to vote for it, you may have

2854
03:38:00,750 --> 03:38:06,390
wanted to reverse and not give a partial because the partial wasn't going to earn my vote.

2855
03:38:06,810 --> 03:38:12,150
So that's where I am today. I'd love for you to accept those items and I'd love to vote

2856
03:38:12,150 --> 03:38:24,110
for this and I'd love to campaign for on my own time, not in county office. I would love to

2857
03:38:24,110 --> 03:38:29,230
is really important. I think having the independent, truly independent,

2858
03:38:29,770 --> 03:38:37,170
auditor is really important. I think the ideas that you presented were

2859
03:38:37,170 --> 03:38:41,810
excellent. I just didn't think we're there yet for solving the problem, and I

2860
03:38:41,810 --> 03:38:47,870
think this would bring in home. So thank you. Thank you very much. You know, I

2861
03:38:47,870 --> 03:38:54,090
don't want to speak for the second day of the motion. I know for myself as the

2862
03:38:54,090 --> 03:39:01,930
at the late stage taking such a significant amendment after all the feedback from the community

2863
03:39:01,930 --> 03:39:08,850
and the participatory process, but I do really appreciate the spirit in which it was offered.

2864
03:39:09,850 --> 03:39:18,630
And I also would note that there's a huge amount of work that's going to need to be done to implement all of this charter reform.

2865
03:39:18,630 --> 03:39:25,230
And that work is going to be the responsibility of the working group.

2866
03:39:25,910 --> 03:39:34,350
So I would respectfully ask you to just really consider that, that this is provides a path

2867
03:39:34,350 --> 03:39:38,510
to potentially implement these reforms, but it doesn't mandate how they would be implemented.

2868
03:39:39,310 --> 03:39:44,110
And so there would still be quite a bit of space to implement suggestions along the lines

2869
03:39:44,110 --> 03:39:48,990
that you've just outlined in how the charter reform is implemented over the next two years.

2870
03:39:49,510 --> 03:39:55,730
So, again, we'd love to invite you to join us and take the good with the good and acknowledge

2871
03:39:55,730 --> 03:40:00,930
that, you know, not necessarily want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but I

2872
03:40:00,930 --> 03:40:06,430
also understand if that's not where you're at, but this has definitely not been an easy

2873
03:40:06,430 --> 03:40:06,850
journey.

2874
03:40:06,930 --> 03:40:13,410
There's been a lot of different opinions and nobody I think has gotten everything that they've

2875
03:40:13,410 --> 03:40:20,690
I think everyone's gotten a little bit of what they've wanted along the way and that's really been sort of my commitment and trying to put this together.

2876
03:40:21,230 --> 03:40:27,010
But again, I don't want to speak for my colleagues if people have a different view. Very open.

2877
03:40:30,120 --> 03:40:33,700
I just, I know we have an extensive discussion last time.

2878
03:40:35,340 --> 03:40:43,020
So we hear everything you're saying. I would just like to say on the record because I know in the event that anything is challenged.

2879
03:40:43,020 --> 03:40:50,000
The record also is important, including the vote, so we live in this process today and in the event that it passes in November.

2880
03:40:50,300 --> 03:40:53,000
We don't know if it will.

2881
03:40:54,900 --> 03:41:01,600
My understanding of the term limits is that it is in a no person can serve more than 12 years.

2882
03:41:02,180 --> 03:41:02,860
That's my understanding.

2883
03:41:02,940 --> 03:41:09,920
I just want to put that on the record so that if there is any, are there any legal challenges that's my understanding?

2884
03:41:09,920 --> 03:41:10,940
It's now in the record.

2885
03:41:12,640 --> 03:41:17,920
I think in that vein, it would probably be worth clarifying that that with County Council.

2886
03:41:18,440 --> 03:41:23,880
I see sure here just to make sure that that is clear both in terms of the language is drafted,

2887
03:41:24,120 --> 03:41:25,120
but also the intent.

2888
03:41:26,400 --> 03:41:28,540
I don't want there to be any confusion.

2889
03:41:30,160 --> 03:41:32,460
So, Damage here, if you need a moment, we can wait.

2890
03:41:32,640 --> 03:41:39,920
But if that's if you have that in front of you, if you could clarify whether there's any real risk that this could be interpreted

2891
03:41:39,920 --> 03:41:47,020
as somehow resetting the clock and providing anyone three additional terms, or whether it's fairly

2892
03:41:47,020 --> 03:41:53,200
clear from both comments on the dice and the written content of the charter that it would

2893
03:41:53,200 --> 03:41:56,700
only be one. It would only be one additional term. It would be three max.

2894
03:41:58,240 --> 03:42:05,080
Thank you, Chair Lawson. Remember, the way that the language is written is to reflect that it would

2895
03:42:05,080 --> 03:42:12,340
a total of three terms, 12 years, so that if any supervisor is currently in the midst of one

2896
03:42:12,340 --> 03:42:17,680
or two terms, it would not be an additional three terms on top of that. I can defer to my

2897
03:42:17,680 --> 03:42:23,940
colleagues here. If she has a specific language or other things, she'd like to read to make that

2898
03:42:23,940 --> 03:42:26,660
clear, but that is the way that it has been drafted.

2899
03:42:29,680 --> 03:42:31,300
Well, the attorneys care of one of your

2900
03:42:31,300 --> 03:42:32,000
to work in search.

2901
03:42:32,340 --> 03:42:32,900
Go ahead, Chair.

2902
03:42:33,200 --> 03:42:39,460
If you want the additional language, there's a provision in the proposed 401.5 that makes clear

2903
03:42:39,460 --> 03:42:43,740
that a supervisor's service and office prior to the effective data, the amendment counts

2904
03:42:43,740 --> 03:42:45,520
toward the three term limit.

2905
03:42:48,600 --> 03:42:53,660
If I may, is there any key, law that supports this, because it hasn't been tested in

2906
03:42:53,660 --> 03:42:53,900
courgette?

2907
03:42:58,940 --> 03:43:04,640
I think the concern you are raising has to do with retroactivity, and our research of the

2908
03:43:04,640 --> 03:43:13,940
The case law is that the provision written in this manner is not considered retroactive because it doesn't change anything that has already happened as an additional term going forward.

2909
03:43:15,000 --> 03:43:20,100
I pull the entire state where the first to do this. No one's ever done it.

2910
03:43:20,860 --> 03:43:24,880
The legal opinions I've received when I was in the state legislature were hurt.

2911
03:43:25,160 --> 03:43:28,360
Then it will be struck down in court. That's why nobody's done it.

2912
03:43:28,360 --> 03:43:35,920
So, there's not to say it can't be done, but it's not been tested in court and good attorneys

2913
03:43:35,920 --> 03:43:41,340
get struck down in court all the time, laws get struck down in court all the time.

2914
03:43:42,120 --> 03:43:50,400
So, if it were to be struck down, what would happen at that point would that not lead to

2915
03:43:50,400 --> 03:43:56,140
three more terms? I mean, a total of three additional terms. If it were struck down in court.

2916
03:43:58,320 --> 03:43:59,520
Excuse me.

2917
03:43:59,600 --> 03:43:59,920
I'm sorry.

2918
03:44:00,180 --> 03:44:00,300
I'm sorry.

2919
03:44:00,460 --> 03:44:05,660
You're saying, if the measure itself is, is this is permanent, this element of the measure

2920
03:44:05,660 --> 03:44:07,900
because I think there's a solvability clause, right?

2921
03:44:07,980 --> 03:44:08,200
Yeah.

2922
03:44:08,500 --> 03:44:11,660
So, I think I can try to answer when the current can correct me.

2923
03:44:11,880 --> 03:44:14,080
My understanding is it would revert to what we have currently.

2924
03:44:14,080 --> 03:44:18,120
It would be two terms because if it's struck down in court, it would be struck down.

2925
03:44:18,540 --> 03:44:20,520
And then you go back to what's already in existence.

2926
03:44:21,080 --> 03:44:23,520
It would be struck down in the union of with 20 terms.

2927
03:44:24,040 --> 03:44:25,700
It would be struck down in the back to two terms.

2928
03:44:26,360 --> 03:44:28,280
I like, like, because it is not 20 terms.

2929
03:44:28,280 --> 03:44:34,920
20? 20. You'd be a plicable 12 years moving forward. So if it was so

2930
03:44:34,920 --> 03:44:39,960
and they said you can't. No, because it because the term, the the language itself

2931
03:44:39,960 --> 03:44:44,680
would be struck down and so you'd go back to what you we don't really know. I hear

2932
03:44:44,680 --> 03:44:50,260
your point, but the several so we would go back to what's currently the law you

2933
03:44:50,260 --> 03:44:56,320
wouldn't create new new we don't know that specifically though. We think that's what's

2934
03:44:56,320 --> 03:44:59,980
But there is still a chance that

2935
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:09,480
It's just never been tested. In all the term limits throughout the count, throughout the state, no one's ever done it before, because nobody wanted to run this risk.

2936
03:45:10,420 --> 03:45:14,400
I get it, it's moving forward, but it's not guaranteed.

2937
03:45:17,620 --> 03:45:23,300
Did anyone have any additional thank you for your clarification? Any additional questions or comments from anybody?

2938
03:45:24,980 --> 03:45:27,120
Okay. We can call the vote.

2939
03:45:31,660 --> 03:45:36,720
Chair, I'll also remember that motion passes with supervisor Anderson and supervisor Desmond Voting

2940
03:45:36,720 --> 03:45:39,420
No, although their supervisor is being present in voting aye.

2941
03:45:39,920 --> 03:45:40,060
Okay.

2942
03:45:40,280 --> 03:45:41,520
Thank you all so much.

2943
03:45:43,020 --> 03:45:46,660
So we will now move on to item 10.

2944
03:45:46,980 --> 03:45:47,300
I'm sorry.

2945
03:45:48,380 --> 03:45:49,280
Item 11.

2946
03:45:49,740 --> 03:45:50,860
We already did 10.

2947
03:45:51,540 --> 03:45:52,160
Certification.

2948
03:45:52,540 --> 03:45:58,500
The certification of the initiative petition measure to fund Sandy Grahoney Health and Safety Services.

2949
03:46:00,700 --> 03:46:05,660
Do we need to have any kind of presentation or anything else?

2950
03:46:06,160 --> 03:46:07,160
Do you see, okay, great.

2951
03:46:07,240 --> 03:46:07,920
Thank you.

2952
03:46:08,420 --> 03:46:09,160
Good afternoon.

2953
03:46:09,780 --> 03:46:10,980
Chair Lawson, remember, it's the board.

2954
03:46:11,060 --> 03:46:14,820
No presentation, but I do have a brief statement to read into the record.

2955
03:46:16,200 --> 03:46:20,800
The Registrar voters has certified the Citizen's Initiative petition titled Measure

2956
03:46:20,800 --> 03:46:23,460
to Fund San Diego County Health and Safety Services.

2957
03:46:23,460 --> 03:46:27,780
by law the board must submit the measures of voters without alteration.

2958
03:46:28,540 --> 03:46:32,680
The measure is a 0.5% sales tax with revenues dedicated as follows.

2959
03:46:33,560 --> 03:46:37,780
22.5% of the revenue to the T1 River Valley sewage mitigation.

2960
03:46:38,740 --> 03:46:42,040
17.5% to public safety and wildfire prevention.

2961
03:46:42,800 --> 03:46:45,700
And 60% to health care, child care and nutrition.

2962
03:46:46,840 --> 03:46:50,560
The measure requires a 12 member oversight committee, independent audits,

2963
03:46:50,560 --> 03:46:54,200
and prohibits uses such as salaries and lobbyists.

2964
03:46:54,820 --> 03:46:56,980
The measure requires a majority vote to pass.

2965
03:46:58,180 --> 03:47:00,120
There are two options in the recommendations.

2966
03:47:01,220 --> 03:47:06,880
Option one, adopt the resolution to place it on the November 3, 206 ballot today.

2967
03:47:07,700 --> 03:47:11,520
Option two, order an impact report, do within 30 days,

2968
03:47:11,840 --> 03:47:14,680
and schedule a special meeting to adopt the election resolution.

2969
03:47:15,460 --> 03:47:20,980
Under elections code, Section 1405, the resolution calling the election must be issued at least

2970
03:47:20,980 --> 03:47:23,460
88 days before election day.

2971
03:47:24,100 --> 03:47:29,660
That deadline is August 7th, 2021, which would require a special board meeting sometime

2972
03:47:29,660 --> 03:47:33,340
between July 25 and August 7th, 2021.

2973
03:47:33,760 --> 03:47:35,460
If option 2 is chosen.

2974
03:47:36,620 --> 03:47:40,800
In addition to these two options, the board has the discretion to direct the auditor to review

2975
03:47:40,800 --> 03:47:45,860
the initiative measure and prepare a fiscal impact statement pursuant to election code section

2976
03:47:45,860 --> 03:47:46,660
in 1960.

2977
03:47:48,060 --> 03:47:52,780
The other must provide the fiscal impact statement to the registrar voters by no later than

2978
03:47:52,780 --> 03:47:58,420
August 14, which is printed in the voter information guide and limited to 500 words.

2979
03:47:59,520 --> 03:48:04,360
I also want to note for the record that under government code section 25207, the board retains

2980
03:48:04,360 --> 03:48:08,760
the authority to order a report at any time independently of the elections code options before

2981
03:48:08,760 --> 03:48:09,380
you today.

2982
03:48:09,380 --> 03:48:21,280
This means that even outside the 30-day impact report process, under election code 9111, the board may request an additional analysis it believes is necessary to support its deliberations.

2983
03:48:22,480 --> 03:48:24,040
Thank you, that concludes my summary of the item.

2984
03:48:25,680 --> 03:48:27,400
Okay, we'll go to public comment.

2985
03:48:28,380 --> 03:48:28,720
Thank you, Chair.

2986
03:48:28,940 --> 03:48:31,020
Last summer we have 15 requests to speak on the item.

2987
03:48:31,400 --> 03:48:34,220
4 in person and 11 requesting to speak by phone.

2988
03:48:34,460 --> 03:48:37,700
Also, for the record that we received one e-comment in opposition.

2989
03:48:38,140 --> 03:48:44,740
For any individuals that requested Speaker 9 and 11 by phone, please dial in the conference line using the instructions that were provided to you.

2990
03:48:45,640 --> 03:48:46,880
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

2991
03:48:47,240 --> 03:48:51,020
As your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until that is your turn to speak at the podium.

2992
03:48:51,540 --> 03:48:53,880
You will have one minute to address the board.

2993
03:48:54,160 --> 03:48:57,800
We'll be calling you groups of three, so like to invite for the first three individuals,

2994
03:48:58,320 --> 03:49:02,060
allegedly Audra Marco Espinoza and Crystal Irving.

2995
03:49:04,660 --> 03:49:06,640
Again, please stay tuned for the audio record.

2996
03:49:07,380 --> 03:49:11,320
I need a call point of order for what is taking place.

2997
03:49:11,500 --> 03:49:15,140
You were just talking about transparency and accountability and I would like to put

2998
03:49:15,140 --> 03:49:18,700
you on notice to change your board policy to follow the law.

2999
03:49:19,400 --> 03:49:23,420
And, Dean, this is something that you should be addressing because it is a violation of

3000
03:49:23,420 --> 03:49:29,020
not only our first amendment, but the Brown Act that's under two constitutions, what supersede

3001
03:49:29,020 --> 03:49:30,240
your board policy.

3002
03:49:31,520 --> 03:49:36,620
And under the supremacy clause, under the due process, it's the law of the land to have

3003
03:49:36,620 --> 03:49:37,480
First Amendment.

3004
03:49:37,660 --> 03:49:44,520
So if I want to say Putha, if I want to say Cracker, whatever it is, even if it's criticizing

3005
03:49:44,520 --> 03:49:47,400
a person, that is legal to do.

3006
03:49:47,840 --> 03:49:55,160
So you're setting yourself up for litigation because you are violating the law by saying

3007
03:49:55,160 --> 03:49:58,940
that you are following your board policy by restricting my speech.

3008
03:49:59,380 --> 03:50:01,260
You've continued to do it.

3009
03:50:01,260 --> 03:50:07,980
So I would like an answer from Damon regarding this because this is a violation of law and you know it.

3010
03:50:08,180 --> 03:50:10,100
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

3011
03:50:13,440 --> 03:50:14,600
Speaker, please.

3012
03:50:14,980 --> 03:50:15,660
All right.

3013
03:50:15,940 --> 03:50:19,820
Crystal Irving, president of FBIU, local 221, speaking in favor of this item.

3014
03:50:20,360 --> 03:50:23,760
We were proud to join a coalition that brought this initiative to Sandy Agons.

3015
03:50:24,120 --> 03:50:30,240
And over 150,000 Sandy Agons added their signatures to the effort to successfully qualify for the ballot.

3016
03:50:30,240 --> 03:50:40,200
The citizen's led initiative will address the Tijuana River toxic sewage crisis with the first ever local infrastructure upgrades.

3017
03:50:40,620 --> 03:50:49,740
It'll protect access to affordable healthcare in the face of Washington severe cuts, establish and a substantial first-ever local investment in child care,

3018
03:50:49,940 --> 03:50:53,580
and strengthen wildfire response for every community in San Diego County.

3019
03:50:53,580 --> 03:50:58,800
This measure also includes independent oversight, public disclosure, and strict prohibitions

3020
03:50:58,800 --> 03:51:02,620
on any funds going to elected official salaries or lobbyist contracts.

3021
03:51:03,420 --> 03:51:08,040
Now, we recognize that today's vote is merely procedural, but I want to highlight that

3022
03:51:08,040 --> 03:51:11,360
I think it's appropriate to be discussed on the same day as budget deliberations.

3023
03:51:11,520 --> 03:51:16,340
When we see the impacts of HR1 and the Trump administration, and we know it's going to get worse.

3024
03:51:16,900 --> 03:51:18,720
So, again, thank you for this vote.

3025
03:51:19,140 --> 03:51:19,440
Thank you.

3026
03:51:19,440 --> 03:51:24,520
I'd like to invite for the remaining speakers in person, Michelle Krug, and Oliver Twist.

3027
03:51:28,270 --> 03:51:28,530
Marcos.

3028
03:51:28,610 --> 03:51:28,810
Vanessa?

3029
03:51:30,070 --> 03:51:31,810
I mean, yes, on this one.

3030
03:51:32,250 --> 03:51:32,590
Thank you.

3031
03:51:32,670 --> 03:51:33,290
I'll go back.

3032
03:51:39,020 --> 03:51:39,720
I'd like to speak, please.

3033
03:51:44,100 --> 03:51:45,100
Good afternoon, again.

3034
03:51:45,560 --> 03:51:51,560
I did, actually, mean to proceed my remarks before by welcoming back,

3035
03:51:51,620 --> 03:51:52,980
Tara Lawsneruma.

3036
03:51:54,260 --> 03:51:55,660
Congratulations and welcome back.

3037
03:51:55,660 --> 03:52:03,720
I am very glad that we collected enough signatures to get this on the ballot.

3038
03:52:04,160 --> 03:52:06,580
This money is direly needed.

3039
03:52:07,480 --> 03:52:11,020
You, on the diet, know that better than us.

3040
03:52:12,160 --> 03:52:17,920
This money will really make the difference or changes that I'd love to see with county medical

3041
03:52:17,920 --> 03:52:18,700
services.

3042
03:52:18,700 --> 03:52:32,660
Obviously, the T.O. want a rubber basin is a major impact in our community, so I'm very glad to see that we, you know, this is ready to be authorized.

3043
03:52:32,920 --> 03:52:39,200
And of course, I hope that you will just accept it. Thank you.

3044
03:52:39,200 --> 03:52:39,820
next speaker.

3045
03:52:45,730 --> 03:52:53,970
Hi, good afternoon, Oliver Twist. I'm adamantly opposed to this and I don't think we should have any new taxes in San Diego, either in the city or the county.

3046
03:52:54,050 --> 03:53:05,570
You're fiscally irresponsible. You are growing government to big 33% growth in five years and a 12, I think it was 12 to 13% in county staff.

3047
03:53:05,570 --> 03:53:09,570
And it's just too much, and we don't need more taxes

3048
03:53:09,570 --> 03:53:11,570
because look what happened in Balboa Park.

3049
03:53:11,830 --> 03:53:13,250
They, when they, like socialism,

3050
03:53:13,530 --> 03:53:15,290
you end up running out of other people's money,

3051
03:53:15,510 --> 03:53:17,190
and then you start charging for parking,

3052
03:53:17,750 --> 03:53:19,070
fix the infrastructure and the things

3053
03:53:19,070 --> 03:53:20,930
that you're supposed to be working on.

3054
03:53:21,190 --> 03:53:22,690
And what I would really appreciate

3055
03:53:22,690 --> 03:53:24,650
is a lot more fiscal pragmatism.

3056
03:53:24,950 --> 03:53:26,650
People don't understand they hear progress.

3057
03:53:26,830 --> 03:53:29,170
All the ideas sound so good, so feel good.

3058
03:53:29,170 --> 03:53:31,230
But what you're really there is to grow government,

3059
03:53:31,810 --> 03:53:34,670
grow your county staff, grow your union membership,

3060
03:53:34,670 --> 03:53:38,230
so can feed in the cycle of political donations.

3061
03:53:39,570 --> 03:53:43,630
So, rule pragmatically, focus on the Mao's low hierarchy,

3062
03:53:44,110 --> 03:53:45,790
and fix what needs fixing first.

3063
03:53:45,930 --> 03:53:46,830
Thank you.

3064
03:53:48,110 --> 03:53:48,570
Thank you.

3065
03:53:48,690 --> 03:53:50,970
Well, here from the individuals that requested to speak my phone,

3066
03:53:51,090 --> 03:53:52,130
we'll start with our first caller.

3067
03:53:59,180 --> 03:54:01,160
Here comes a pollabold.

3068
03:54:01,380 --> 03:54:05,600
Here comes another tax that's attached to how many

3069
03:54:05,600 --> 03:54:08,960
product and items, this is what's the fun.

3070
03:54:09,660 --> 03:54:13,280
There's a new committee for pretty much everything

3071
03:54:13,280 --> 03:54:16,720
for you, fans of new Brzarch or CSA.

3072
03:54:16,900 --> 03:54:19,320
Of course, it has something for everyone,

3073
03:54:19,940 --> 03:54:23,920
but what tiny percent of your sales tax will go to,

3074
03:54:24,100 --> 03:54:25,920
your favorite cost.

3075
03:54:26,820 --> 03:54:29,800
So you're a half-percent additional tax

3076
03:54:29,800 --> 03:54:33,760
and transaction-excluding part of their fuel.

3077
03:54:33,760 --> 03:54:40,300
It's supposed to fund eight main items and many smaller products, quite always.

3078
03:54:40,780 --> 03:54:43,200
How many will it project get?

3079
03:54:43,600 --> 03:54:46,060
Two hundred percent or less.

3080
03:54:46,800 --> 03:54:53,340
The taxes will be put into the Protect San Diego, Candace Health and Safety Fund, which

3081
03:54:53,340 --> 03:55:01,160
be used to solely finance central candidacy and maintain the proof the quality of lives

3082
03:55:01,160 --> 03:55:02,140
of the country.

3083
03:55:11,170 --> 03:55:20,830
Okay, I'm slow here and all the slaves in favor of bigger government say aye, come on

3084
03:55:20,830 --> 03:55:21,330
slide.

3085
03:55:21,330 --> 03:55:38,370
Collette, what it is, this item is so, is to further keep the people under the rule some of big government to further keep them under the illusion that government is taking care of everything, taking care of them, when it's all about more taxes and more control.

3086
03:55:38,910 --> 03:55:45,510
This item will pass with the majority being the three queen curves in tacos.

3087
03:55:47,670 --> 03:55:52,950
And yeah, it's just more unbelievable shit.

3088
03:55:53,270 --> 03:55:54,590
I'm from this bias.

3089
03:55:57,210 --> 03:55:57,390
Done.

3090
03:56:00,560 --> 03:56:01,080
Thank you.

3091
03:56:01,240 --> 03:56:01,980
Here from the next caller.

3092
03:56:15,660 --> 03:56:16,800
Next caller is Terry Scaly.

3093
03:56:19,680 --> 03:56:22,900
I'm hoping to speak on item 13, not 11.

3094
03:56:23,960 --> 03:56:25,080
Back to you for that item.

3095
03:56:25,280 --> 03:56:25,920
Thank you.

3096
03:56:37,600 --> 03:56:37,920
Good afternoon.

3097
03:56:38,300 --> 03:56:39,680
My name is Becky Rapp.

3098
03:56:41,040 --> 03:56:45,200
And I recognize that the voters have demonstrated

3099
03:56:45,200 --> 03:56:48,740
sufficient support of its measure to bring it forward.

3100
03:56:49,540 --> 03:56:57,240
And at this stage, the county's responsibility is to ensure transparency and clarity about what the measure does and how it would be implemented.

3101
03:56:58,440 --> 03:57:06,700
A strongly encouraged board to ensure the fiscal impact statement and related materials,

3102
03:57:07,560 --> 03:57:16,000
and that they clearly explain not only what service is may be funded, but what gas still remain is funding is sufficient.

3103
03:57:16,000 --> 03:57:23,680
I'm concerned that this health and safety services must include upstream investment in youth prevention,

3104
03:57:24,020 --> 03:57:32,140
especially youth drug prevention, type of marijuana use, as well as early intervention for mental health conditions associated with substance use.

3105
03:57:32,480 --> 03:57:39,200
We're seeing increasing pressure on emergency department schools and child welfare systems, and prevention is consistently.

3106
03:57:40,540 --> 03:57:41,040
Thank you.

3107
03:57:41,480 --> 03:57:41,500
Good afternoon.

3108
03:57:49,640 --> 03:57:50,360
It's true.

3109
03:57:51,040 --> 03:57:51,080
It's true.

3110
03:57:51,080 --> 03:57:52,140
To have an alluminal.

3111
03:57:52,360 --> 03:57:52,800
Monno.

3112
03:57:53,060 --> 03:57:54,000
Accus on the.

3113
03:57:54,040 --> 03:57:54,740
Di, vibrator.

3114
03:57:55,020 --> 03:57:55,520
Home soil.

3115
03:57:55,920 --> 03:57:56,680
It's not a scenario.

3116
03:57:56,900 --> 03:57:58,040
But it's my three expressions.

3117
03:57:58,260 --> 03:57:59,620
And it's still matters legally.

3118
03:58:00,380 --> 03:58:02,580
Here's another item in George Bayouonion such as FIE.

3119
03:58:02,780 --> 03:58:04,140
It's signed by Chris for Irving.

3120
03:58:05,980 --> 03:58:07,960
Refunded the benefiters of this patch.

3121
03:58:08,100 --> 03:58:09,100
Such as Manuelo Ploma.

3122
03:58:09,460 --> 03:58:11,940
Who wants America to pay for Mexico sewage forever.

3123
03:58:12,360 --> 03:58:12,840
Gritter.

3124
03:58:13,340 --> 03:58:14,060
Calvars on the gris.

3125
03:58:14,140 --> 03:58:16,240
Because they want to cut for their salary, selfish.

3126
03:58:16,240 --> 03:58:20,560
The county claims the petition contains a sufficient number of valid signatures, but we know

3127
03:58:20,560 --> 03:58:21,240
that's not true.

3128
03:58:21,440 --> 03:58:25,160
We've seen the viral video of a homeless drug addict being paid in dollar bills, cigarettes,

3129
03:58:25,200 --> 03:58:27,420
and drugs to find even other petitions.

3130
03:58:27,780 --> 03:58:29,160
Nobody actually wants more taxes.

3131
03:58:29,200 --> 03:58:30,640
Nobody's voting for this fraud.

3132
03:58:30,980 --> 03:58:33,740
I just mentioned this petition going around about two months ago.

3133
03:58:34,040 --> 03:58:38,140
You want people to believe they got millions of signatures in that short time frame when people

3134
03:58:38,140 --> 03:58:41,720
asked them if they were getting paid to collect signatures and they admitted, yes, they

3135
03:58:41,720 --> 03:58:42,140
were.

3136
03:58:42,140 --> 03:58:49,060
This is 100% phony, which man is many specializes in, and it's 100% trob, which terrorist

3137
03:58:49,060 --> 03:58:51,300
specializes in, shame on you corrupt.

3138
03:58:52,680 --> 03:58:54,120
You can hear from a son of color.

3139
03:59:01,590 --> 03:59:03,170
And, well, here we go with another line.

3140
03:59:03,430 --> 03:59:08,070
I always know it is when the purple shirts turn up to speak begging for it.

3141
03:59:08,170 --> 03:59:09,890
They're flowering words.

3142
03:59:10,350 --> 03:59:11,710
You must have a page fee trader.

3143
03:59:12,410 --> 03:59:14,130
Anyway, no new text.

3144
03:59:14,490 --> 03:59:15,290
This is a scam.

3145
03:59:15,290 --> 03:59:24,250
It's interesting that an item TIN that was passed, that Tera said that the implementation plan was not ready yet, that it would be left up to the working team.

3146
03:59:24,610 --> 03:59:33,090
So how do we know this new task will be implemented according to what is written here? Anything for health and safety services?

3147
03:59:33,470 --> 03:59:44,370
Why aren't the lookout fire lookout towers maintained? There are a few that are closed and not being used because there is poor stage. Why were they not already maintained?

3148
03:59:45,290 --> 03:59:46,290
So this is a scam.

3149
03:59:46,430 --> 03:59:49,390
This is to get money to put into TEPT's pet projects.

3150
03:59:49,810 --> 03:59:51,350
Not to do anything for the county.

3151
03:59:51,790 --> 03:59:51,910
Let's.

3152
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:06,920
You have no idea how you're going to use it. And why does one group get more money on another group doesn't? How does that work?

3153
04:00:08,200 --> 04:00:11,340
Thank you. I'm a chair-loss-and-remor that concludes public comment on this item.

3154
04:00:13,080 --> 04:00:18,000
Okay, thank you very much. I have a couple comments. Do any of my colleagues have anything to say?

3155
04:00:18,860 --> 04:00:21,420
Well, so I can just make a motion. Happy to do that.

3156
04:00:23,640 --> 04:00:27,820
Seeing no requests for my colleagues to speak, I'll just make a couple remarks on this.

3157
04:00:29,500 --> 04:00:36,880
I just first of all want to express my gratitude to the leadership of so many of the folks

3158
04:00:36,880 --> 04:00:37,880
who put this together.

3159
04:00:38,180 --> 04:00:40,640
So thank you for your work.

3160
04:00:41,280 --> 04:00:43,160
It's a lot of signatures together.

3161
04:00:43,800 --> 04:00:44,820
It's a lot of work.

3162
04:00:45,220 --> 04:00:49,420
And there's a lot of people who obviously really want to see this measure,

3163
04:00:49,740 --> 04:00:51,700
considered by the voters in November.

3164
04:00:53,080 --> 04:00:59,440
You know, that's just a lot of people to have signed, to sign this ballot measure.

3165
04:01:00,260 --> 04:01:09,020
So I hear that, and I think that to me, this is real evidence that people in San Diego

3166
04:01:09,020 --> 04:01:15,880
are deeply, deeply concerned about the Tijuana sewage disaster, about the devastating

3167
04:01:15,880 --> 04:01:23,480
cuts to health care and food assistance that our communities facing and that people remain

3168
04:01:23,480 --> 04:01:32,320
very committed to making sure that our 911 emergency response can be the best and can keep

3169
04:01:32,320 --> 04:01:39,960
us safe in even the worst conditions and even if the worst and most unthinkable happens to our

3170
04:01:39,960 --> 04:01:47,300
communities. And we began this conversation, I think, you know, over a year and a half ago,

3171
04:01:49,020 --> 04:01:53,320
when, in my state of the county, I mentioned my deep concerns about what was coming

3172
04:01:53,320 --> 04:01:59,620
at us, and what was coming towards our community in a new Trump administration. And I think

3173
04:01:59,620 --> 04:02:05,860
this San Diego County Health and Safety Services initiative rises to meet that moment. It offers

3174
04:02:05,860 --> 04:02:13,340
voters a powerful tool that people can choose to support, to protect our community, to defend

3175
04:02:13,340 --> 04:02:19,560
our community, to keep our water clean, to keep our hospitals open, and to make sure firefighters

3176
04:02:19,560 --> 04:02:25,800
and first responders have the tools that they need to keep us safe. Our job today is extremely

3177
04:02:25,800 --> 04:02:33,180
straightforward. This is the Citizens Qualified Initiative and the voters must decide on this

3178
04:02:33,180 --> 04:02:42,680
That has been placed or is being proposed to be placed on the ballot by the signatures of hundreds of thousands of voters.

3179
04:02:43,360 --> 04:02:45,520
So our role is not to adopt this measure ourselves.

3180
04:02:46,360 --> 04:02:55,160
We really only can and must, from an administrative standpoint, Joan Crackham from Wrong, just put this on the ballot.

3181
04:02:55,160 --> 04:03:04,240
I think my only concern is to ensure that the language is clear and accurate and sufficient.

3182
04:03:04,920 --> 04:03:11,240
We do want to ensure that voters have clear information so that they can make an informed decision.

3183
04:03:11,460 --> 04:03:19,020
I think that's really our only role here is to ensure that the language is clear and that the impact on our community is clear.

3184
04:03:20,420 --> 04:03:22,980
Because the information will be placed directly on the ballot.

3185
04:03:24,120 --> 04:03:32,060
So, with that, I would like to make the following motion and I think, Andrew, you have the

3186
04:03:32,060 --> 04:03:39,380
strike through changes that is to approve recommendation number one and then to approve

3187
04:03:39,380 --> 04:03:44,920
recommendation number two option number one with the following clarifying amendment to the

3188
04:03:44,920 --> 04:03:51,640
palette question in the attachment dereasolution to ensure as much transparency as possible

3189
04:03:51,640 --> 04:03:54,660
for the voters to have clear and accurate information.

3190
04:03:57,640 --> 04:04:03,820
So this is a funny one, but I was reading this in a lot of folks where not quite sure exactly

3191
04:04:03,820 --> 04:04:11,140
with the word mitigatement seem like a $100 word and we could probably have used a 10-cent

3192
04:04:11,140 --> 04:04:11,460
word.

3193
04:04:12,080 --> 04:04:17,200
So if we could just replace the word mitigate with clean up so that people actually know

3194
04:04:17,200 --> 04:04:19,940
what Ms. being written here and they're not confused.

3195
04:04:20,880 --> 04:04:24,180
Similarly, another, maybe this is a thousand dollar word

3196
04:04:24,180 --> 04:04:26,100
instead of a 10 cent word, I don't need to know

3197
04:04:26,100 --> 04:04:28,300
that we need to confuse people with the term

3198
04:04:28,300 --> 04:04:30,440
retail transaction and use tax.

3199
04:04:30,720 --> 04:04:32,500
Like, I don't know what that is, exactly.

3200
04:04:33,280 --> 04:04:34,900
I just, I think we can call it what it is,

3201
04:04:34,920 --> 04:04:39,280
which is a sales tax, and then seems

3202
04:04:39,280 --> 04:04:42,420
very important to add that an annual amount to be raised

3203
04:04:42,420 --> 04:04:45,120
until ended by voters, my understanding

3204
04:04:45,120 --> 04:04:51,100
that that was an oversight in the drafting of this ballot question by county council because

3205
04:04:51,100 --> 04:04:58,620
it's legally required to include that and so that and I know that it's estimated raised

3206
04:04:58,620 --> 04:05:08,880
450,000 so 400,450 million so that needs to be in there for transparency purposes and then

3207
04:05:08,880 --> 04:05:18,840
take no action on recommendation three. So that's my motion and yeah, hope to have support

3208
04:05:18,840 --> 04:05:22,800
from my colleagues. Thank you. Super is a dozen.

3209
04:05:24,910 --> 04:05:29,610
Thank you. I'm sure I appreciate it. I just don't think that was the right time to put

3210
04:05:29,610 --> 04:05:34,550
a half-cent sales tax in front of the people. It's, you know, the cost of everything is already

3211
04:05:34,550 --> 04:05:39,370
way too high. We're always surprised and you go to the grocery store or you go, you know,

3212
04:05:39,370 --> 04:05:44,210
close or car, you know, everything's just gone up and up and up.

3213
04:05:44,910 --> 04:05:48,990
This tax, is my understanding, there's no end to it, it's a forever tax, there's going

3214
04:05:48,990 --> 04:05:51,390
to be no end to this.

3215
04:05:51,670 --> 04:05:54,950
I agree with something, you know, the T you want to river, definitely needs to be dealt with,

3216
04:05:55,030 --> 04:05:57,690
but I do think we've got to be putting the pressure on Mexico.

3217
04:05:58,370 --> 04:06:05,390
We can not just throw more and more US money after that catastrophe that's happening

3218
04:06:05,390 --> 04:06:08,750
down there and we've got to get them to stop and make sure they keep their end of the

3219
04:06:08,750 --> 04:06:16,790
and often in creating the infrastructure that they need on their side, I think we have to put pressure on them as opposed to just putting more money after this.

3220
04:06:17,710 --> 04:06:24,690
I could support this if we went with item number one and two with option two, not option one.

3221
04:06:25,290 --> 04:06:31,430
We're talking about impact, we're talking about responsibility, transparency.

3222
04:06:31,430 --> 04:06:39,350
I think if we had an impact report, which is option 2, to then come back within 30 days after we see an impact report,

3223
04:06:39,490 --> 04:06:44,010
because I think that would be helpful to the citizens before they vote on it.

3224
04:06:44,430 --> 04:06:47,550
I realize today we're just putting it yes or no on the ballot.

3225
04:06:48,810 --> 04:06:53,110
I'm not going to be supporting this tax, but I would like to have an impact report.

3226
04:06:54,050 --> 04:06:57,590
So I'd like to see if you'd be open to choosing option 2,

3227
04:06:57,590 --> 04:07:01,230
at a recommendation number two, then I can support it.

3228
04:07:05,130 --> 04:07:08,210
Did you, in your proposal on option two,

3229
04:07:08,270 --> 04:07:10,790
I suppose, Desmond, it says this is option

3230
04:07:10,790 --> 04:07:12,590
across the board to schedule a special meeting.

3231
04:07:12,690 --> 04:07:15,630
Some time between July 25th and August 7th,

3232
04:07:15,650 --> 04:07:17,330
what day did you want to have that meeting?

3233
04:07:18,130 --> 04:07:19,430
I don't know.

3234
04:07:20,730 --> 04:07:21,610
Late July.

3235
04:07:22,590 --> 04:07:25,550
I birthed this July 27th.

3236
04:07:25,550 --> 04:07:26,570
You want to be four after?

3237
04:07:28,190 --> 04:07:29,970
Well, I can tell you July 27th is a Monday.

3238
04:07:29,970 --> 04:07:32,930
So I don't think you're going to want to be meeting on the Saturday.

3239
04:07:34,610 --> 04:07:36,450
I could do it.

3240
04:07:37,860 --> 04:07:38,900
I don't care.

3241
04:07:39,300 --> 04:07:39,380
Okay.

3242
04:07:39,380 --> 04:07:40,680
Well, we think about it.

3243
04:07:41,180 --> 04:07:42,260
It's obviously tossed out there.

3244
04:07:42,520 --> 04:07:47,820
I support option one, it doesn't change my, my, my, my, I support for option one, but just

3245
04:07:47,820 --> 04:07:52,580
wanted to make sure that if you're supporting option two, that it's a full proposal that folks

3246
04:07:52,580 --> 04:07:55,820
can think about because it would have to, we'd have to calendar that.

3247
04:07:56,200 --> 04:07:57,240
Um, two, by the way.

3248
04:07:59,360 --> 04:08:00,180
Thank you.

3249
04:08:00,180 --> 04:08:06,000
I just want to say that regardless where people stand on the substance of this proposal,

3250
04:08:06,220 --> 04:08:08,160
this is the democratic process.

3251
04:08:08,840 --> 04:08:13,260
And this has been an initiative that's been put forward by the citizens.

3252
04:08:13,740 --> 04:08:17,820
Our registrar of voters has certified that the petition qualifies.

3253
04:08:18,540 --> 04:08:24,360
I think the fact that so many people signed on to this petition knowing for what it is is

3254
04:08:24,360 --> 04:08:26,960
a reflection of the sentiment of our region.

3255
04:08:26,960 --> 04:08:30,640
And I think especially, I just want to speak obviously to the Tijuana River.

3256
04:08:31,200 --> 04:08:36,820
I think that all of us, whether you live literally in the affected area and are suffering

3257
04:08:36,820 --> 04:08:43,420
the harms of this pollution every single day in your daily life through being sick or losing

3258
04:08:43,420 --> 04:08:53,020
work or losing school, the reality is that the fixes aren't happening fast enough, Mexico is

3259
04:08:53,020 --> 04:08:56,520
not doing enough, Trump is not doing enough,

3260
04:08:56,920 --> 04:08:58,960
Biden didn't do enough, and that's just the reality.

3261
04:08:59,180 --> 04:09:01,160
Nobody's done enough, and that's why we're here.

3262
04:09:01,240 --> 04:09:04,920
And I see it as a way of the people of San Diego County

3263
04:09:04,920 --> 04:09:10,960
taking the bull by their horns and bringing a real source

3264
04:09:10,960 --> 04:09:14,260
of revenue that could truly bring relief.

3265
04:09:14,440 --> 04:09:16,840
We've made our efforts, and I'm thankful to this board,

3266
04:09:17,120 --> 04:09:18,340
for the efforts that we're making,

3267
04:09:18,660 --> 04:09:20,100
but that's like I said many times,

3268
04:09:20,240 --> 04:09:21,720
it's not going to solve the issue.

3269
04:09:21,720 --> 04:09:30,020
something of this caliber, something of this size can, and that's the most important thing

3270
04:09:30,020 --> 04:09:37,220
because if we wait for fixes alone to come from Mexico, we're going to be here 20

3271
04:09:37,220 --> 04:09:40,680
years, 30 years from now, and there's going to be people who have died, from cancer,

3272
04:09:40,860 --> 04:09:43,820
there's going to be people who have died from pneumonia, there's going to be people who

3273
04:09:43,820 --> 04:09:49,260
have died from other ailments that all of this contamination has a capacity to cause.

3274
04:09:49,260 --> 04:09:56,500
So, we don't keep our foot off the pedal, we continue to pressure Mexico, we continue to

3275
04:09:56,500 --> 04:09:59,680
pressure this administration, we continue to pressure the state as well.

3276
04:10:00,080 --> 04:10:05,920
There's been a lot of work that's gone on that my team and myself have done advocating

3277
04:10:05,920 --> 04:10:10,920
for many to come from the state as well in the last six months, but the reality is it's

3278
04:10:10,920 --> 04:10:11,520
not enough.

3279
04:10:12,060 --> 04:10:17,110
The people have spoken, this is a high priority for them, and we should just let the

3280
04:10:19,370 --> 04:10:19,930
Thank

3281
04:10:22,010 --> 04:10:22,570
you.

3282
04:10:22,590 --> 04:10:23,890
Vice Chairman, can we stop?

3283
04:10:24,870 --> 04:10:25,590
Yes, just briefly.

3284
04:10:25,950 --> 04:10:30,750
I want to thank the ROV for the work that goes in to certifying the initiative petition.

3285
04:10:31,670 --> 04:10:32,690
Thank you for that.

3286
04:10:32,810 --> 04:10:38,810
And congratulations to the coalition for securing enough signatures to make this ballot measure a reality.

3287
04:10:39,770 --> 04:10:44,810
The issues that this measure addresses are critically important for providing quality of life.

3288
04:10:45,050 --> 04:10:45,430
We all deserve.

3289
04:10:45,630 --> 04:10:47,890
We just been discussing that for the entire day.

3290
04:10:47,890 --> 04:10:54,790
So, they are important, that doesn't mean that we know the fate of the measure in November.

3291
04:10:56,390 --> 04:11:01,630
But I will continue to work with my colleagues and community partners to protect healthcare,

3292
04:11:02,230 --> 04:11:06,930
improve child care, public safety, address the Tijuana River, sewage crisis.

3293
04:11:07,410 --> 04:11:15,590
No matter what happens, but this is something that we, I think, can look forward to seeing where the county is when it comes to these issues

3294
04:11:16,330 --> 04:11:19,650
and how the vote will be reflected there.

3295
04:11:20,010 --> 04:11:21,430
So thank you again, everyone.

3296
04:11:21,870 --> 04:11:24,690
And I think this is more so procedural matter for us.

3297
04:11:25,250 --> 04:11:28,610
So with that, I'll go ahead and second option one.

3298
04:11:30,930 --> 04:11:33,090
OK, we have a motion for our next second.

3299
04:11:33,090 --> 04:11:34,230
Please vote.

3300
04:11:35,210 --> 04:11:36,750
Thank you, Chair Lauder, I just want to know

3301
04:11:36,750 --> 04:11:39,090
for the record that we added in the word annually,

3302
04:11:39,290 --> 04:11:43,150
as you noted, in your remarks into valid question.

3303
04:11:43,330 --> 04:11:44,530
I like it on the street.

3304
04:11:46,030 --> 04:11:46,330
OK.

3305
04:11:46,950 --> 04:11:51,030
And before we do, it's just clarifying that we really have to put this on the ballot.

3306
04:11:52,750 --> 04:11:55,830
It's just a problem, a question of how, but not whether we do it or not.

3307
04:11:57,210 --> 04:11:58,570
So, I'm just going to make sure that's clear for the record.

3308
04:11:59,210 --> 04:12:00,670
Thank you.

3309
04:12:00,950 --> 04:12:03,530
Chair Lawson, remember that motion passes was supervisor Anderson.

3310
04:12:03,730 --> 04:12:04,850
It's supervisor Desmond voting.

3311
04:12:05,070 --> 04:12:07,110
No, all of the supervisors being president voting.

3312
04:12:07,950 --> 04:12:08,430
Okay.

3313
04:12:09,570 --> 04:12:10,970
Thank you very much.

3314
04:12:11,750 --> 04:12:15,110
So we will now move on to our next item.

3315
04:12:15,810 --> 04:12:21,210
And this is an item that has been brought forward by District 4.

3316
04:12:21,450 --> 04:12:25,750
It's item 12, authorizing partner food distribution pilots at strategic kind of facilities

3317
04:12:25,750 --> 04:12:29,750
and hiding areas to mitigate California's work requirement displacements.

3318
04:12:31,390 --> 04:12:34,770
I sure do would you like to make some introductory remarks?

3319
04:12:35,550 --> 04:12:35,870
I will.

3320
04:12:36,470 --> 04:12:36,810
Yes.

3321
04:12:36,810 --> 04:12:38,070
Thank you so much for the opportunity.

3322
04:12:38,570 --> 04:12:43,410
Thank you to county staff and our community partners for your important work on the food distribution

3323
04:12:43,410 --> 04:12:46,070
and component of the Safety Net Bridge program.

3324
04:12:46,410 --> 04:12:50,330
Access to good nutritional food is a key determinative health.

3325
04:12:50,990 --> 04:12:51,910
Food is medicine.

3326
04:12:52,630 --> 04:12:56,550
Trajically and estimated 93,500 members of our community

3327
04:12:56,550 --> 04:13:00,090
are at risk of losing access to that medicine,

3328
04:13:00,290 --> 04:13:01,150
which is food.

3329
04:13:01,770 --> 04:13:05,110
And to a happier, healthier life due to the new Calfresh

3330
04:13:05,110 --> 04:13:07,790
work reporting requirements imposed by HR1.

3331
04:13:08,390 --> 04:13:10,810
This federally mandated change is anticipated

3332
04:13:10,810 --> 04:13:12,230
to increase food insecurity

3333
04:13:12,230 --> 04:13:14,070
in every county district.

3334
04:13:14,650 --> 04:13:18,510
The proposed action before the board today is designed to address that anticipated

3335
04:13:18,510 --> 04:13:24,390
food insecurity by targeting the 16 zip codes where families are expected to be hit the

3336
04:13:24,390 --> 04:13:24,810
hardest.

3337
04:13:25,490 --> 04:13:30,130
We would be utilizing existing county facilities and partnering with the Senegal Food Bank

3338
04:13:30,130 --> 04:13:36,130
and Feeding San Diego for emergency food distribution event to support hunger relief efforts.

3339
04:13:36,590 --> 04:13:41,690
It also supports on-site benefit enrollment and supplemental resources provided by

3340
04:13:41,690 --> 04:13:45,290
dedicated county staff as a part of the Sakinet Bridge program.

3341
04:13:45,990 --> 04:13:50,910
We know these wraparound services are crucial to assisting families looking for long-term

3342
04:13:50,910 --> 04:13:56,270
food security and stabilization resources during a time of significant change.

3343
04:13:56,990 --> 04:14:02,290
This is also funding for, there is also funding for potential home delivery services and

3344
04:14:02,290 --> 04:14:07,790
for distribution through other trusted community providers so that the county can stay nimble,

3345
04:14:07,790 --> 04:14:12,050
in addressing any service gaps that may be identified after program rollout.

3346
04:14:12,950 --> 04:14:20,330
We built in program flexibility so that we can best meet the needs of our residents as those needs evolve.

3347
04:14:21,130 --> 04:14:27,950
Staff will monitor and review reporting on an ongoing basis ensuring optimal utilization of county resources.

3348
04:14:28,710 --> 04:14:35,590
Supporting this proposed action will help prevent families in our communities from having to make tough decisions like food versus housing

3349
04:14:35,590 --> 04:14:40,950
food versus healthcare. It's both the moral and just action to support our

3350
04:14:40,950 --> 04:14:46,530
neighbors in their time of need. So I hope my colleagues will support this

3351
04:14:46,530 --> 04:14:52,250
item today and I can make the motion now that's fine but I can also wait until

3352
04:14:52,250 --> 04:14:53,170
after public comment.

3353
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:04,520
I thank you very much. Would you like to first go to public comment or have board discussion?

3354
04:15:06,220 --> 04:15:09,740
Because we have people on the board who want to talk, but we can just go to public comment and do board discussion.

3355
04:15:10,140 --> 04:15:11,260
Yeah, that would be okay.

3356
04:15:11,540 --> 04:15:16,660
Well, apologies, Supervisor Anderson. We'll go to public comment and then we'll go to you.

3357
04:15:18,360 --> 04:15:21,300
Thank you, Chair Lawson. Remember, we have 30 requests to speak on this item.

3358
04:15:21,400 --> 04:15:29,060
13 in person and 17 in requesting to speak by phone. Also, no for the record that we receive three e-commerce, one in support and one neutral.

3359
04:15:29,060 --> 04:15:34,040
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 12 by phone, please dial in to the conference

3360
04:15:34,040 --> 04:15:36,940
on using the instructions that were provided to you.

3361
04:15:37,080 --> 04:15:40,520
We'll begin with the in-person speakers, as your name is called, please come forward and

3362
04:15:40,520 --> 04:15:43,340
stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak at the podium.

3363
04:15:44,020 --> 04:15:48,000
You will have one minute to address the board, and I'll ask you to begin by stating your name

3364
04:15:48,000 --> 04:15:49,000
for the audio record.

3365
04:15:50,440 --> 04:15:54,080
I will call you in groups of three, so please listen for your name.

3366
04:15:54,080 --> 04:16:00,080
I'd like to invite for the first three individuals, Sam Duke, Noah Y. Yick, and Karina Pugh.

3367
04:16:00,560 --> 04:16:02,800
I have caught your name. Please come forward.

3368
04:16:12,160 --> 04:16:13,700
Good afternoon, my name is Sam Duke.

3369
04:16:13,780 --> 04:16:17,440
I'm a director of programs at Feeding San Diego representing families,

3370
04:16:18,020 --> 04:16:23,480
who are having to choose between groceries and gas between rent and food for their families.

3371
04:16:24,280 --> 04:16:28,220
Rising costs have pushed working families to the breaking point they've never faced before.

3372
04:16:28,640 --> 04:16:30,780
Last month at our school pantry at Duel Elementary,

3373
04:16:30,780 --> 04:16:35,540
serving primary military families, a mother of three told me that the food she's receiving

3374
04:16:35,540 --> 04:16:38,580
means her family has dinner for that evening.

3375
04:16:39,480 --> 04:16:44,140
Earlier this month, a new snap cuts may force even more San Diego families into food insecurity.

3376
04:16:44,980 --> 04:16:48,840
You're funding approval today would do more than just feed hungry families, though that

3377
04:16:48,840 --> 04:16:50,120
alone is transformational.

3378
04:16:50,460 --> 04:16:54,740
These dollars would allow us to strategically strengthen and expand our distribution network

3379
04:16:54,740 --> 04:16:58,600
that helps increase food rescue and provide more nutritious food year-round.

3380
04:16:59,120 --> 04:17:02,520
Right now, food assistance is increasing every single day.

3381
04:17:02,820 --> 04:17:06,320
Last month we served over half a million San Diego's across the county.

3382
04:17:06,920 --> 04:17:08,980
The families we sort of can't vote on this today.

3383
04:17:09,640 --> 04:17:12,620
But they are counting on your leadership on behalf of the feeding San Diego

3384
04:17:12,620 --> 04:17:14,680
and the thousands of families we see.

3385
04:17:16,100 --> 04:17:16,980
Thank you.

3386
04:17:17,540 --> 04:17:17,880
Thank you.

3387
04:17:17,960 --> 04:17:18,460
Speak in please.

3388
04:17:21,490 --> 04:17:22,230
Good afternoon.

3389
04:17:22,690 --> 04:17:23,130
Supervisors.

3390
04:17:23,270 --> 04:17:24,290
My name is Noah Yeek.

3391
04:17:24,310 --> 04:17:25,930
I'm a researcher with the Center on Policy Initiative.

3392
04:17:27,070 --> 04:17:28,270
There are times of charm today.

3393
04:17:28,270 --> 04:17:34,830
We are due to vote yes on item 12 and advance the food access component of the safety net bridge program.

3394
04:17:35,270 --> 04:17:37,030
Nutrition security is a human right.

3395
04:17:37,590 --> 04:17:41,190
Addiquity nutrition helps people stay healthy, care for their families, and live with dignity.

3396
04:17:42,190 --> 04:17:48,470
Right now thousands of Sandiagans are losing access to nutrition assistance or are at risk of losing it because of federal cuts.

3397
04:17:49,110 --> 04:17:51,890
We cannot allow cruel decisions in Washington to harm Sandiagans.

3398
04:17:52,870 --> 04:17:58,250
The food distribution pilot before you provides a strategic targeted response and includes measures to monitor outcomes.

3399
04:17:58,250 --> 04:18:00,990
and ensure support is meeting our community's needs.

3400
04:18:01,750 --> 04:18:04,630
The State Senate Bridge Program is how we put our values into action.

3401
04:18:05,130 --> 04:18:07,530
It says that in San Diego County, no one should go hungry,

3402
04:18:07,890 --> 04:18:10,290
no one should go without care, and we take care of each other.

3403
04:18:10,510 --> 04:18:11,490
Thank you.

3404
04:18:13,060 --> 04:18:13,480
Thank you.

3405
04:18:13,500 --> 04:18:15,120
Thank you invite four or three additional speakers,

3406
04:18:15,700 --> 04:18:18,880
allegedly Otra, Doyle Morrison, and Alicia Morrison.

3407
04:18:20,880 --> 04:18:22,100
Good afternoon, Supervisor.

3408
04:18:22,600 --> 04:18:23,380
It's Karina Peel again.

3409
04:18:23,500 --> 04:18:24,600
My pronouns are she here.

3410
04:18:24,760 --> 04:18:27,860
I'm here today on behalf of the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

3411
04:18:27,860 --> 04:18:30,780
asking you all to vote in support of this item.

3412
04:18:31,280 --> 04:18:33,980
As we continue to see the painful impacts of HR1

3413
04:18:33,980 --> 04:18:35,600
and the significant cuts to programs

3414
04:18:35,600 --> 04:18:37,980
that keep our communities fed, house,

3415
04:18:38,120 --> 04:18:40,640
and otherwise supported in an increasingly difficult economy,

3416
04:18:41,240 --> 04:18:43,520
we are seeing LGBTQ folks disproportionately

3417
04:18:43,520 --> 04:18:45,760
experiencing the impacts of these cuts.

3418
04:18:46,300 --> 04:18:47,820
At our center, our food banks,

3419
04:18:47,960 --> 04:18:49,660
and other programs supporting food assistance,

3420
04:18:49,940 --> 04:18:51,780
are experiencing higher volumes of traffic

3421
04:18:51,780 --> 04:18:53,060
than we've seen ever before.

3422
04:18:53,700 --> 04:18:55,200
This item is the county's opportunity

3423
04:18:55,200 --> 04:18:57,660
to be a bold leader, investing county dollars

3424
04:18:57,660 --> 04:18:59,700
to mitigate the harms from these cuts.

3425
04:19:00,020 --> 04:19:02,360
Please vote in support of this item to keep Sandy Ygensfad

3426
04:19:02,360 --> 04:19:04,320
and thank you to Vice Chair Montgomery

3427
04:19:04,320 --> 04:19:06,020
staff for her leadership on this.

3428
04:19:06,060 --> 04:19:07,120
Thank you.

3429
04:19:08,480 --> 04:19:09,040
Thank you.

3430
04:19:09,300 --> 04:19:09,900
Next speaker, please.

3431
04:19:12,060 --> 04:19:13,040
Hello, Doyle Morrison.

3432
04:19:13,480 --> 04:19:15,540
I'm in favor of this food distribution,

3433
04:19:15,880 --> 04:19:19,040
but consideration for eligibility based on zip codes

3434
04:19:19,040 --> 04:19:19,820
is problematic.

3435
04:19:20,660 --> 04:19:23,260
In the San Diego County, many unincorporated communities

3436
04:19:23,260 --> 04:19:27,540
rely on zip codes assigned by two nearby incorporated cities,

3437
04:19:27,540 --> 04:19:33,380
Meaning their mail says the city name, but they are governed and taxed by the county rather than the city.

3438
04:19:33,860 --> 04:19:41,240
Notable unincorporated areas with city affiliated zip codes are Benita, Casa de Orra, Rancho San Diego, Fairbix, Rancho LaPresse and Lincoln acres.

3439
04:19:41,760 --> 04:19:48,320
These communities zip codes are not listed in this agenda item material as high impact zip code served.

3440
04:19:49,760 --> 04:19:53,480
The unincorporated communities are governed and taxed by the county rather than the city.

3441
04:19:53,480 --> 04:19:58,260
Please do not exclude some of the most vulnerable communities from the benefits they are going to get up.

3442
04:19:58,460 --> 04:19:58,460
Thank

3443
04:20:00,700 --> 04:20:01,880
you.

3444
04:20:02,080 --> 04:20:02,540
Next speaker.

3445
04:20:07,880 --> 04:20:09,500
Good afternoon, Alicia Morrison.

3446
04:20:10,200 --> 04:20:13,740
I support this, but there's a problem.

3447
04:20:13,980 --> 04:20:17,480
The problem is disparity to the community of Lincoln Acres.

3448
04:20:18,040 --> 04:20:26,680
Since the deprecation of the Lincoln Acres post office in 2011, Lincoln Acres has to share a zip code 91950 with a city in national city.

3449
04:20:26,680 --> 04:20:36,500
Lincoln acres is not national city. Lincoln acres has it had its own zip code 91947 that was established in 1925.

3450
04:20:37,920 --> 04:20:46,040
In your placement of this just strategic facilities, I am requesting Lincoln acres community room in Lincoln acres be placed on your list of facilities.

3451
04:20:46,040 --> 04:20:49,260
So, those in 9195, though, can benefit.

3452
04:20:50,640 --> 04:20:56,560
Do not deprive Lincoln acres from county programs at knowledge 9195-0 for this program.

3453
04:20:57,080 --> 04:20:57,840
Thank you.

3454
04:21:00,190 --> 04:21:00,710
Thank you.

3455
04:21:00,810 --> 04:21:04,250
As the next speaker is coming forward, I'll invite three additional speakers.

3456
04:21:05,070 --> 04:21:09,050
Marco Espinoza, Andrea Caldwell, and Edward Nietto.

3457
04:21:11,280 --> 04:21:16,340
Hopefully, nobody lights a match because the gasoline you've been dousing, the people in

3458
04:21:16,340 --> 04:21:17,580
will go up in flames.

3459
04:21:17,580 --> 04:21:22,600
It's interesting you talk about clear and accurate information, and then Monica, you're saying

3460
04:21:22,600 --> 04:21:27,060
that food is medicine, does your bending machine reflect that?

3461
04:21:27,060 --> 04:21:30,180
No, it has not, but it's cool because it's all about making money, right?

3462
04:21:31,180 --> 04:21:35,420
And it's just interesting the way you like to pull the heartstrings of people and act like,

3463
04:21:35,580 --> 04:21:40,900
you know, this is Trump's, this is I, Charon, you guys were engaged in giving benefits to

3464
04:21:40,900 --> 04:21:42,960
people who came across the border illegally.

3465
04:21:42,960 --> 04:21:48,500
You do what you're doing by eating a bedding and now the people are suffering the consequences

3466
04:21:48,500 --> 04:21:53,340
because it actually made it harder for people that need it to get it, because of your choices.

3467
04:21:54,700 --> 04:22:00,160
So you say here in you talk about transparency and accountability and giving clear and accurate information,

3468
04:22:00,840 --> 04:22:02,480
let's be real with the people.

3469
04:22:03,240 --> 04:22:11,180
And let's be real that you cannot silence free speech, no matter what you think, no matter what policy you put in place.

3470
04:22:14,240 --> 04:22:15,740
Next speaker, please.

3471
04:22:17,870 --> 04:22:19,630
Marco Espinoza, I'm in favor.

3472
04:22:20,430 --> 04:22:22,210
I do know a little bit about this,

3473
04:22:22,810 --> 04:22:24,250
I watched KPBS,

3474
04:22:25,910 --> 04:22:29,090
and they recently had the American on it,

3475
04:22:29,490 --> 04:22:33,090
of mentioning how HR1's new limitations

3476
04:22:33,090 --> 04:22:36,790
had started effective one this month,

3477
04:22:36,970 --> 04:22:38,030
the first of those months,

3478
04:22:38,350 --> 04:22:39,450
and they've already seen it up to.

3479
04:22:41,070 --> 04:22:50,230
HR1, we will, as the months go on, we'll see more of the effects, so while the need has grown

3480
04:22:50,230 --> 04:22:56,590
now, I'm sure there's better way to say that, but anyways, I think this is a great measure

3481
04:22:56,590 --> 04:23:03,550
to help those who are in need and getting the negative impacts of HR1.

3482
04:23:03,830 --> 04:23:04,730
So thank you for this measure.

3483
04:23:09,190 --> 04:23:19,830
Good afternoon, Andrea Caldwell, with the Jacobs and Kushman San Diego Food Bank, which is the region's leading hunger relief organization we serve every community here in San Diego County.

3484
04:23:20,190 --> 04:23:25,650
Each month we help on average 400,000 San Diego's across access nutritious food.

3485
04:23:25,650 --> 04:23:29,730
So we are already seeing the impacts of these federal policy changes.

3486
04:23:30,050 --> 04:23:35,230
In May, 83% of our emergency food assistance partners requested more food than the month

3487
04:23:35,230 --> 04:23:35,690
before.

3488
04:23:36,350 --> 04:23:40,450
So they were getting an average of 27% more food in just 30 days.

3489
04:23:40,690 --> 04:23:45,450
And our client choice pantry is also serving more people than any other point in this year.

3490
04:23:46,330 --> 04:23:50,450
The county safety net bridge program will help ensure food remains available to residents,

3491
04:23:50,450 --> 04:23:56,950
especially in communities where data indicates there is an expected need to grow and the

3492
04:23:56,950 --> 04:24:01,530
food bank has a long-standing commitment to using data to direct resources where they are

3493
04:24:01,530 --> 04:24:07,610
needed most and we commit to using 100% of these funds if approved to purchase food. We strongly

3494
04:24:07,610 --> 04:24:12,410
support this and thank you. Thank you. It's an ex-speakers coming forward. I'd like to

3495
04:24:12,410 --> 04:24:14,310
by the remaining speakers in person,

3496
04:24:14,670 --> 04:24:18,830
Alejandro Martinez, whom I are a Usefi, Michelle Krueg,

3497
04:24:19,110 --> 04:24:20,710
and Cynthia Fuller, Kenyounis.

3498
04:24:22,170 --> 04:24:23,330
Yes, good afternoon.

3499
04:24:23,370 --> 04:24:24,550
My name is Ed Nietto.

3500
04:24:24,970 --> 04:24:26,390
I'm appreciative of the county services

3501
04:24:26,390 --> 04:24:28,110
of work proposal in this area.

3502
04:24:28,550 --> 04:24:29,570
By do have a question.

3503
04:24:30,490 --> 04:24:33,690
I want to ask, as the others have mentioned here,

3504
04:24:33,750 --> 04:24:38,650
why wasn't the 9195 zip code included in the significant

3505
04:24:38,650 --> 04:24:44,830
significant, low-income population names that you have there.

3506
04:24:45,270 --> 04:24:49,870
So when I hear the areas that are hit, the hardest, not to include national city

3507
04:24:49,870 --> 04:24:52,030
and there seems to be little remiss.

3508
04:24:52,710 --> 04:24:54,110
I'm asking a question.

3509
04:24:54,490 --> 04:24:57,830
If there's a methodology on how you determine this, we'd like to hear it.

3510
04:24:57,950 --> 04:25:01,270
It would bring comfort to the community to see how this was decided.

3511
04:25:02,330 --> 04:25:10,710
And, you know, specifically what data was used to exclude the national city from the 16 highest impact zone,

3512
04:25:11,210 --> 04:25:11,930
the zip codes.

3513
04:25:13,670 --> 04:25:16,670
It's just important for the citizens to know that we're competing.

3514
04:25:17,190 --> 04:25:19,270
We'd like to know what the explanation is.

3515
04:25:19,410 --> 04:25:20,290
Thank you.

3516
04:25:22,510 --> 04:25:22,990
Thank you.

3517
04:25:23,130 --> 04:25:24,150
Next speaker, please.

3518
04:25:27,220 --> 04:25:28,720
If I've called your name, please come down to the arrows.

3519
04:25:28,900 --> 04:25:29,640
Thank you.

3520
04:25:31,950 --> 04:25:32,510
Good afternoon.

3521
04:25:32,510 --> 04:25:34,530
in Humayra, Yusufi with Pana.

3522
04:25:35,010 --> 04:25:38,090
The safety net bridge program is an essential program

3523
04:25:38,090 --> 04:25:40,170
to provide access to meals and health care

3524
04:25:40,170 --> 04:25:42,990
to those who no longer receive these basic services,

3525
04:25:43,250 --> 04:25:45,950
thanks to Trump's attack on the poor working class

3526
04:25:45,950 --> 04:25:46,950
and on immigrants.

3527
04:25:47,630 --> 04:25:50,790
As a community level, we have hundreds of people coming

3528
04:25:50,790 --> 04:25:53,050
to us already telling us that their CalFresh

3529
04:25:53,050 --> 04:25:55,230
has been stopped or it's going to stop

3530
04:25:55,230 --> 04:25:56,930
and they don't know how to feed their families.

3531
04:25:57,470 --> 04:25:59,830
No child should go hungry in San Diego.

3532
04:26:00,590 --> 04:26:07,290
And, you know, at Panna, we host a food bank every week and we see hundreds of families

3533
04:26:07,290 --> 04:26:10,630
coming there and more programs are really needed.

3534
04:26:11,030 --> 04:26:15,210
These food distribution events will allow the county to respond to immediate needs

3535
04:26:15,210 --> 04:26:22,510
and build on an action plan to assist those most in need while simultaneously creating long-term

3536
04:26:22,510 --> 04:26:23,810
stabilization resources.

3537
04:26:24,330 --> 04:26:24,910
So we are judible.

3538
04:26:25,150 --> 04:26:25,430
Yes.

3539
04:26:25,670 --> 04:26:26,410
Thank you.

3540
04:26:28,170 --> 04:26:28,690
Thank you.

3541
04:26:28,690 --> 04:26:29,170
Thank you.

3542
04:26:29,170 --> 04:26:29,490
Please.

3543
04:26:32,610 --> 04:26:32,770
Hi.

3544
04:26:33,330 --> 04:26:34,610
Good afternoon Board of Surveysers.

3545
04:26:35,610 --> 04:26:37,850
I am fully, my name is Alejandro with Mitsity Can.

3546
04:26:38,070 --> 04:26:42,790
I am fully in support of item 12, food insecurity and vulnerable communities must be mitigated

3547
04:26:42,790 --> 04:26:45,130
and item 12 does just that.

3548
04:26:45,670 --> 04:26:49,870
However, I am deeply disturbed by the hate field comments about my district supervisor

3549
04:26:49,870 --> 04:26:53,290
that apparently has been used several times that's stated by the person who used this

3550
04:26:53,290 --> 04:26:55,450
filing harmful and misogynist language.

3551
04:26:56,070 --> 04:27:03,310
Supervisor Jim Desmond and Joe Anderson as men on this board and as men who have sworn to protect the woman that you work with in women in

3552
04:27:03,310 --> 04:27:12,850
community. You must be using platforms. You have at your disposal to address racist or misogynist remarks towards your colleagues who I know in the same vein would protect your personhood

3553
04:27:12,850 --> 04:27:18,570
This isn't about politics. This is about what's right and where I'm morality lies as professionals and colleagues in this work

3554
04:27:18,570 --> 04:27:23,990
We are here to work together and a blip one another not to collaborate not to tolerate divisive and violent behavior

3555
04:27:23,990 --> 04:27:31,010
that is not it what is in our court of ethics nor what is outlined in the court of civil discourse which is attached to the county's rules of procedure for these meetings

3556
04:27:31,010 --> 04:27:33,750
Anyone can and should access this document.

3557
04:27:34,350 --> 04:27:35,190
Thank you.

3558
04:27:38,300 --> 04:27:39,400
Expect a please.

3559
04:27:47,200 --> 04:27:48,520
Michelle Krug again.

3560
04:27:50,100 --> 04:27:59,140
I very much appreciate of this pilot project and the fact that there is that the focus on equity.

3561
04:28:01,520 --> 04:28:05,740
I do have heard a couple of concerns.

3562
04:28:06,140 --> 04:28:12,820
One of them, I'm surprised that National City of Code would not have been one of

3563
04:28:12,820 --> 04:28:20,800
the 16, and the other thing is that it's, I've been hearing and I don't know enough about

3564
04:28:20,800 --> 04:28:27,480
it, that South Bay doesn't have enough of the larger refrigerations that are allowed that

3565
04:28:27,480 --> 04:28:36,700
are capable of accepting pallets of food so that there just might be an issue of somehow

3566
04:28:36,700 --> 04:28:44,940
being able to make sure that each part of the county has that capability and South Bay

3567
04:28:44,940 --> 04:28:51,020
in particular if it doesn't have that that maybe there's grants or things that we can follow

3568
04:28:51,020 --> 04:28:51,380
upon.

3569
04:28:51,440 --> 04:28:52,960
Thank you.

3570
04:28:53,620 --> 04:28:55,220
Next speaker please.

3571
04:28:57,700 --> 04:28:59,020
Good afternoon, supervisors.

3572
04:28:59,740 --> 04:29:00,520
I'm Cynthia Kenyona.

3573
04:29:00,660 --> 04:29:10,000
I'm speaking today as a former county of San Diego, South region, food and security work group co-chair and health activists in the South region for more than 20 years.

3574
04:29:10,560 --> 04:29:16,580
In addition to my written comment, I feel compelled to speak on the admission of national city zip code as we've heard from other speakers.

3575
04:29:17,640 --> 04:29:22,120
Perhaps this is an error or perhaps there's a separate plan for national city.

3576
04:29:22,120 --> 04:29:27,140
However, without confirmation of either of us speak against the Planes written, there are

3577
04:29:27,140 --> 04:29:27,860
two key points.

3578
04:29:28,620 --> 04:29:33,960
One, the County of San Diego cannot afford to exclude 9195O, and its Plan Safety

3579
04:29:33,960 --> 04:29:42,540
NEPRIDGE actions were one of the most food and secure areas of the county, and that supported

3580
04:29:42,540 --> 04:29:49,340
by the most recent reporting from the South region leadership team meeting prepared by county

3581
04:29:49,340 --> 04:29:50,000
staff.

3582
04:29:50,000 --> 04:29:55,980
Secondly, national city warrants direct investment in its food responders and their

3583
04:29:55,980 --> 04:29:58,480
long critical need for a shared cold storage.

3584
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:01,440
It's been missing. Thank you.

3585
04:30:02,340 --> 04:30:05,920
Well, now, here from the individuals that requested to speak my phone, we'll start with our first

3586
04:30:05,920 --> 04:30:06,340
caller.

3587
04:30:13,970 --> 04:30:23,810
Well, we're both High National City. Remember, this is a pilot program, not an actual program.

3588
04:30:24,230 --> 04:30:33,270
Anyway, great idea, but just as the last one, 500,000 fund events and pay for food staff

3589
04:30:33,270 --> 04:30:42,850
And so, all of the cost is, hopefully there will be donations because I proved this

3590
04:30:42,850 --> 04:30:50,970
proof of reducing the unlocked reserves for a pilot program which may or may not work out.

3591
04:30:51,370 --> 04:30:55,230
The reserves should be for what we know will work.

3592
04:30:55,230 --> 04:31:11,130
Also, in the cared for on head 5, the program would serve different number of zip codes, presumably a different number of people at the same cost, which is higher and more likely.

3593
04:31:11,670 --> 04:31:17,230
But another idea would be to hold based on the community garden or farm work.

3594
04:31:17,230 --> 04:31:20,090
Thank you, and here from the next caller.

3595
04:31:32,080 --> 04:31:34,820
Next caller is Consuelo, your device might be muted,

3596
04:31:36,970 --> 04:31:39,050
and Consuelo left the session.

3597
04:31:39,290 --> 04:31:40,250
We'll go to the next caller.

3598
04:31:48,930 --> 04:31:52,250
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors, and Riddles here.

3599
04:31:53,950 --> 04:31:59,450
I have some concerns about this as a re-retired social worker.

3600
04:32:00,390 --> 04:32:03,830
The first paragraph of the board letter

3601
04:32:03,830 --> 04:32:10,410
indicates that 93,500 individuals may face a sudden reduction.

3602
04:32:11,950 --> 04:32:15,790
That means there's still plenty of opportunities, and their individuals are not families.

3603
04:32:16,030 --> 04:32:17,210
We're not talking about children.

3604
04:32:17,770 --> 04:32:22,270
We're talking about those who are adults who, for whatever reason,

3605
04:32:23,010 --> 04:32:26,550
haven't registered or can't register, won't register.

3606
04:32:27,970 --> 04:32:34,050
But seem to be able to work, or to volunteer, or to take a class.

3607
04:32:35,030 --> 04:32:41,430
I'm not really sure why we're beholding to 92,000 people who can't or won't do that.

3608
04:32:41,670 --> 04:32:48,770
I think we are anticipating something that we don't know has happened, and we don't know will happen.

3609
04:32:49,390 --> 04:32:50,090
Very fantastic.

3610
04:32:50,930 --> 04:32:51,230
It's great.

3611
04:32:52,630 --> 04:32:54,110
Well, here from the next caller.

3612
04:32:54,110 --> 04:32:54,910
It's

3613
04:33:01,790 --> 04:33:06,130
truth, care, the million dollar words are eradicate, grift, and fraud, because we've got

3614
04:33:06,130 --> 04:33:10,270
one million dollars on food fraud going on as an excuse to fund Jacob's Christian

3615
04:33:10,270 --> 04:33:11,950
crypters with three-figure salaries.

3616
04:33:12,610 --> 04:33:17,730
The county claims 93,500 individuals may face reduction or elimination of Calth-Restressions,

3617
04:33:17,730 --> 04:33:22,850
AKA government-controlled medicine, like Calth-Rest Tax Fair Fund at Candy bars, which proves

3618
04:33:22,850 --> 04:33:24,570
how much fraud is going on with say welfare.

3619
04:33:25,230 --> 04:33:29,650
The county claims 314,000 individuals will have to actually work, which proves that there's

3620
04:33:29,650 --> 04:33:33,890
of able-bodied adult who are lazy and refuse to get a job to take care of themselves,

3621
04:33:34,490 --> 04:33:36,430
racist, ethics, and manuela included.

3622
04:33:37,130 --> 04:33:40,690
So, I counter that the county needs to invest in an independent auditor now.

3623
04:33:41,030 --> 04:33:44,590
Has there ever been verification that all of the medical recipients are actually alive

3624
04:33:44,590 --> 04:33:48,250
or cared for, because Rolanda, Maria, proposed in terrorist districts, has never known.

3625
04:33:48,870 --> 04:33:51,890
Is it funding by zip code, a form of unconstitutional discrimination?

3626
04:33:52,570 --> 04:33:57,310
At the county's claim of order is 7,500 processors was true that it's time for intervention.

3627
04:33:57,310 --> 04:34:01,310
Don't be a leering center, especially when Americans are beef at record rate.

3628
04:34:03,650 --> 04:34:04,770
Thank you.

3629
04:34:05,130 --> 04:34:06,090
Here for the next caller.

3630
04:34:14,720 --> 04:34:17,040
Good afternoon. My name is Erin Brennan Burke.

3631
04:34:17,260 --> 04:34:19,580
On behalf of Family Health Centers of San Diego,

3632
04:34:19,920 --> 04:34:22,540
speaking in strong support of item number 12,

3633
04:34:23,000 --> 04:34:25,380
our team see every day in our clinic,

3634
04:34:25,720 --> 04:34:29,920
how reliable access to new precious food is fundamental to health.

3635
04:34:29,920 --> 04:34:35,540
Federal changes under HR1 are already making it harder for patients to enroll in and maintain

3636
04:34:35,540 --> 04:34:41,220
child-fresh benefits, even when they are eligible, increasing food insecurity in already

3637
04:34:41,220 --> 04:34:46,300
vulnerable communities. We appreciate the Board's proactive efforts to respond before

3638
04:34:46,300 --> 04:34:51,820
these impacts weresen. County collaboration with trusted partners like the Food Bank and

3639
04:34:51,820 --> 04:34:57,680
feeding San Diego will help meet the scale of demand and ensure residents in need do not go hungry,

3640
04:34:57,680 --> 04:35:01,560
especially in highly impacted neighborhoods. Thank you.

3641
04:35:02,890 --> 04:35:04,590
Thank you. Here from the next caller.

3642
04:35:12,710 --> 04:35:14,830
Yeah, how funny. There's a word mitigated again.

3643
04:35:15,050 --> 04:35:17,790
And Tara thinks the constituency is ignorant.

3644
04:35:18,310 --> 04:35:21,010
Medicate does not mean enhanced. Just read the whole thing.

3645
04:35:21,230 --> 04:35:24,370
You don't need an explanation or a change of the wording.

3646
04:35:25,010 --> 04:35:27,770
I've attended these meetings on five years and the problems are the same

3647
04:35:27,770 --> 04:35:30,870
and unchanged homelessness due to drugs and mental health issues.

3648
04:35:30,870 --> 04:35:37,450
Congress, marginalized communities, and over the Biden admin millions of illegal immigrants

3649
04:35:37,450 --> 04:35:45,110
who are not new Americans being granted special privilege and never ending freebie, draining

3650
04:35:45,110 --> 04:35:52,070
the county's resources, helping to put it in this problem regardless of what the Trump

3651
04:35:52,070 --> 04:35:53,490
administration has done.

3652
04:35:53,490 --> 04:35:57,650
This board policies have failed,

3653
04:35:57,650 --> 04:36:00,970
letting the dollars waste as evidenced by the same

3654
04:36:00,970 --> 04:36:03,370
activist in NGOs and curfell shirts,

3655
04:36:03,650 --> 04:36:06,570
begging for money year after year almost meeting after meeting.

3656
04:36:07,070 --> 04:36:09,670
Work hours are volunteer hours must be mandatory for the

3657
04:36:09,670 --> 04:36:11,550
able-bodied single without dependence.

3658
04:36:11,730 --> 04:36:13,130
This will help lift these individuals,

3659
04:36:13,690 --> 04:36:16,390
and allow them to exit the stranglehold.

3660
04:36:17,470 --> 04:36:18,770
You're from the next dollar.

3661
04:36:18,770 --> 04:36:19,390
Not

3662
04:36:26,910 --> 04:36:31,170
only Rashdie here, I stand with a community budget alliance and Leah.

3663
04:36:31,590 --> 04:36:35,230
I think it's important that we see people who need to eat.

3664
04:36:35,270 --> 04:36:39,430
Regardless of how we got here, we still are community that needs to work together

3665
04:36:39,430 --> 04:36:41,330
and people need to eat.

3666
04:36:41,850 --> 04:36:44,250
The stress with the milk, good day center closing.

3667
04:36:45,570 --> 04:36:49,350
And these cuts and HR1, all of it, is getting to the people.

3668
04:36:49,570 --> 04:36:53,910
And if you can't eat, it's literally deteriorates your mind.

3669
04:36:53,910 --> 04:36:59,610
We have to support each other and this rough spot, no matter how we got here.

3670
04:36:59,890 --> 04:37:00,890
Thank you.

3671
04:37:02,370 --> 04:37:02,850
Thank you.

3672
04:37:03,090 --> 04:37:03,930
We're here for the next college.

3673
04:37:11,220 --> 04:37:14,840
My name is Laura Wilkinson, since in the community activist and later I've stopped to

3674
04:37:14,840 --> 04:37:15,060
switch.

3675
04:37:15,360 --> 04:37:20,340
First, I want to thank all of the supervisors for those on items 10 and especially 11 the

3676
04:37:20,340 --> 04:37:23,200
initiatives that we've been begging for here in the South Bank.

3677
04:37:23,620 --> 04:37:28,080
Item 12, this pilot facing it, is critical for the least amongst us.

3678
04:37:28,080 --> 04:37:34,000
I know many acid-duty military families who get their month-end food from food banks.

3679
04:37:34,340 --> 04:37:38,820
So many will fall through the cracks in the testing calfresh and your action tier will

3680
04:37:38,820 --> 04:37:44,340
save lives and the future of children by providing food and adequate nutrition.

3681
04:37:44,820 --> 04:37:48,820
I want to thank you for your leadership and improving item 12, assuring that we use our

3682
04:37:48,820 --> 04:37:51,120
tax fair funds for the public goods.

3683
04:37:51,200 --> 04:37:54,400
We don't want San Diego to go in hungry for whatever reason.

3684
04:37:54,960 --> 04:37:55,360
Thank you.

3685
04:37:57,190 --> 04:37:57,610
Thank you.

3686
04:37:57,870 --> 04:37:58,610
Have a nice call.

3687
04:37:58,610 --> 04:37:59,330
Good

3688
04:38:07,330 --> 04:38:11,310
afternoon, my name is Megan. I live in District 4 and work with the San Diego Refugee

3689
04:38:11,310 --> 04:38:16,810
Community Coalition. I'm calling for voice or strong support for agenda item 12. We strongly

3690
04:38:16,810 --> 04:38:20,890
support the recommendation to partner with trusted community based orgs especially to carry

3691
04:38:20,890 --> 04:38:25,350
this work forward. We know that for refugee immigrant communities, these partners are really

3692
04:38:25,350 --> 04:38:30,090
essential for sharing information, primary languages, and culturally responsive ways so that

3693
04:38:30,090 --> 04:38:35,770
families can really understand and access what they need. So we urge the county to keep community

3694
04:38:35,770 --> 04:38:39,790
the Center of Implementation to ensure resources reach those most impacted.

3695
04:38:40,190 --> 04:38:41,810
Thank you so much for your leadership and consideration.

3696
04:38:44,280 --> 04:38:44,640
Thank you.

3697
04:38:44,900 --> 04:38:45,660
We'll hear from the next caller.

3698
04:38:53,170 --> 04:38:53,670
Good afternoon.

3699
04:38:53,810 --> 04:38:54,610
My name is Raymond.

3700
04:38:54,790 --> 04:38:57,090
I work with the San Diego refugee communities coalition.

3701
04:38:58,050 --> 04:39:02,770
I'm calling today to voice my support for this item, especially because it really highlights

3702
04:39:02,770 --> 04:39:08,450
the disproportionate harm these federal policy changes will have on the refugee and immigrant communities

3703
04:39:08,450 --> 04:39:11,270
that are organizations each work with.

3704
04:39:11,270 --> 04:39:16,090
Many of our community members will lose access to essential services that will have an overall

3705
04:39:16,090 --> 04:39:18,490
effect on their health and quality of life.

3706
04:39:19,050 --> 04:39:22,630
We know that our refugee and immigrant communities will be hit the hardest by these changes

3707
04:39:22,630 --> 04:39:27,810
and we wanted to advocate for taking a community-led approach to help community members navigate

3708
04:39:27,810 --> 04:39:32,390
these new requirements and help make sure that we can mitigate the loss of access to CalPERS benefits.

3709
04:39:33,470 --> 04:39:37,870
And that can really effectively be done through community partnerships that will allow us

3710
04:39:37,870 --> 04:39:41,690
community members in their primary languages and meet them where we're at. So that's why

3711
04:39:41,690 --> 04:39:47,850
we strongly support this item, and especially the recommendation of partnering with trusted

3712
04:39:47,850 --> 04:39:53,750
community providers to ensure that our communities are supported. Thank you very much.

3713
04:39:55,830 --> 04:39:56,590
Good afternoon.

3714
04:40:04,780 --> 04:40:09,040
This is Rita De LaFonte calling on behalf of the San Diego Hunger Coalition

3715
04:40:09,040 --> 04:40:16,860
who supports item 12, which HR with HR1's CalFresh changes taking effect quickly moving food

3716
04:40:16,860 --> 04:40:21,740
an on-site benefit to some of our hard-hit neighborhoods as a step in the right direction

3717
04:40:21,740 --> 04:40:24,580
and we thank Vice Chair Montgomery Step for her leadership.

3718
04:40:25,280 --> 04:40:30,360
As the county builds the living map this action calls for, targeting can be sharpened with more

3719
04:40:30,360 --> 04:40:35,700
data on the eligible but not enrolled population, including both the number of potential in

3720
04:40:35,700 --> 04:40:41,400
rollies and the participation rate. That perspective keeps smaller, high-rate communities

3721
04:40:41,400 --> 04:40:48,460
a priority when they might have been overlooked by population-based metrics and services where

3722
04:40:48,460 --> 04:40:53,380
immigrant mix status and rural households might be missed by in-person events.

3723
04:40:53,960 --> 04:41:01,880
As more residents lose eligibility under HR1, ensuring everyone who remains eligible is successfully

3724
04:41:02,520 --> 04:41:07,760
enrolled is more critical than ever. This is the one-time bridge and we encourage the county.

3725
04:41:09,280 --> 04:41:11,360
And we'll now hear from our final caller.

3726
04:41:21,010 --> 04:41:24,090
I'm going to follow here and thank you for coming back to me, Andrew.

3727
04:41:25,130 --> 04:41:29,050
Let's see, give them a fish and they'll eat for the day.

3728
04:41:29,510 --> 04:41:32,510
Teach them to fish and they'll never go hungry.

3729
04:41:33,330 --> 04:41:37,150
This is just another typical big government item,

3730
04:41:37,970 --> 04:41:39,710
a slave mentality item, really.

3731
04:41:40,210 --> 04:41:45,510
It keeps the people under the illusion that they need government to take care of them,

3732
04:41:45,510 --> 04:41:56,470
Furthering the programming that the people themselves aren't enough, that they're incapable of survival and being independent from big daddy government.

3733
04:41:57,310 --> 04:42:08,970
More lies, more abuse, you know, how about investing in teaching the needy to send for themselves, invest in lifting up humanity, not keeping them down and reliant.

3734
04:42:08,970 --> 04:42:15,350
But, you know, that doesn't keep the system alive, and that's all you guys are about

3735
04:42:15,350 --> 04:42:22,470
having the people under submission and control and pretty unfortunate.

3736
04:42:25,290 --> 04:42:28,150
I'm sure you'll also remember that concludes public comment on this item.

3737
04:42:31,080 --> 04:42:34,260
Okay, turn the floor to Supervisor Anderson.

3738
04:42:36,080 --> 04:42:39,100
I'd like to thank my colleague for bringing this forward.

3739
04:42:40,200 --> 04:42:46,820
This is a great idea, and I just so appreciate it.

3740
04:42:46,960 --> 04:42:53,580
I also want to thank the Food Bank and feeding San Diego for their participation, their hard work.

3741
04:42:54,040 --> 04:42:59,080
And I believe that they need a commitment to do this without overhead, which is amazing.

3742
04:42:59,080 --> 04:43:06,840
I do have a consideration, I like to bring before you, a possible amendment.

3743
04:43:07,440 --> 04:43:14,330
We put up slide one, when looking at areas of highest vulnerability, you know, just

3744
04:43:14,330 --> 04:43:26,290
put the numbers in perspective, in D2, the loss of calfresh benefits is at 44% higher than

3745
04:43:26,290 --> 04:43:27,870
three of the districts put together.

3746
04:43:28,830 --> 04:43:35,590
And the communities of 91906, 91963, and 91980,

3747
04:43:35,870 --> 04:43:41,350
as you see in the map, are the highest level of vulnerability.

3748
04:43:43,110 --> 04:43:47,650
And when I went through this, we have a lot of distribution

3749
04:43:47,650 --> 04:43:52,830
in Spring Valley, in Spring Valley is not of the same level of need.

3750
04:43:52,830 --> 04:43:56,650
In fact, two of the locations are within a mile of each other.

3751
04:43:57,130 --> 04:44:01,490
What I'd like to be concerned, by the way, if you live in 91906,

3752
04:44:02,010 --> 04:44:04,670
the closest location is Spring Valley.

3753
04:44:05,110 --> 04:44:08,810
And that's Spring Valley locations over 31 miles, one way.

3754
04:44:10,390 --> 04:44:14,570
And to put it in perspective, in 91980,

3755
04:44:15,650 --> 04:44:20,510
the household income is 21 to 49,000 depending on the track you're in.

3756
04:44:20,510 --> 04:44:26,930
And in 919-63, it's 10354, that's household income for the year.

3757
04:44:27,450 --> 04:44:32,870
So these are people that are not going to be driving 30 miles one way to get these benefits.

3758
04:44:33,330 --> 04:44:39,170
And yet, these are the ones that have been hit the hardest already over the last two months.

3759
04:44:40,030 --> 04:44:45,770
I'm asking is that we request that 12 of the distributions proposed for spring value location.

3760
04:44:46,550 --> 04:44:49,690
Be moved to those three districts, those three zip codes.

3761
04:44:49,690 --> 04:44:52,850
And I would leave it to a staff, by the way,

3762
04:44:53,030 --> 04:44:55,610
we can pull-ups like to get a better idea.

3763
04:44:57,030 --> 04:44:58,870
But we do have some locations.

3764
04:45:00,620 --> 04:45:07,580
I know that Amazon is partnering with feed San Diego distributing seven practices and seven

3765
04:45:07,580 --> 04:45:12,640
lunches during the summer, and maybe we could use a program like that.

3766
04:45:15,660 --> 04:45:16,400
But I was hoping

3767
04:45:16,400 --> 04:45:20,520
you could take that as a friendly amendment, so that these folks, the people who are greatest

3768
04:45:20,520 --> 04:45:28,060
in need, who are in the poorest of poor, would have access. It's not an easy ask,

3769
04:45:28,060 --> 04:45:33,960
is a logistics issue, but I know you're hard, so I'm feeling pretty good about this.

3770
04:45:35,140 --> 04:45:41,380
I just want to, because I know there were layers of information and data that were used

3771
04:45:42,520 --> 04:45:57,540
for the final product here, my only ask before we change it is what are the food banks doing

3772
04:45:57,540 --> 04:45:59,240
and in the air.

3773
04:45:59,540 --> 04:46:01,960
Well, is that them out in pires that the, okay?

3774
04:46:02,100 --> 04:46:02,680
It's not in part.

3775
04:46:03,020 --> 04:46:05,220
What are the, because there's two things.

3776
04:46:05,420 --> 04:46:08,820
One is we had, we took in a consideration,

3777
04:46:09,180 --> 04:46:11,940
I believe what was already there,

3778
04:46:13,860 --> 04:46:15,280
as far as food banks are concerned,

3779
04:46:15,400 --> 04:46:16,900
and the work that they're doing there.

3780
04:46:17,920 --> 04:46:22,740
And then we had the additional $500,000 allocation

3781
04:46:22,740 --> 04:46:25,100
that we would use to fill any of the gaps

3782
04:46:25,100 --> 04:46:30,320
that these six distribution centers are not feeling right.

3783
04:46:30,380 --> 04:46:32,660
That would include delivery services.

3784
04:46:33,460 --> 04:46:36,080
It would include being more specific to the needs.

3785
04:46:36,120 --> 04:46:40,900
It would prefer to do that, but I'd like to make it

3786
04:46:40,900 --> 04:46:42,000
not open to them all the time.

3787
04:46:42,020 --> 04:46:43,560
Yeah, they're clear, they're clear.

3788
04:46:43,560 --> 04:46:45,840
I want to make sure it's clear that we're going there.

3789
04:46:46,580 --> 04:46:51,420
Because already, 44% of these folks have already been hit.

3790
04:46:51,420 --> 04:46:58,120
And you're the second largest shockingly district one who's not that high, in terms of cuts.

3791
04:46:59,520 --> 04:47:06,380
Well, I guess just asking what would that do logistically to change in one of the spring valley locations?

3792
04:47:06,720 --> 04:47:19,040
We can either do that or we can specify of the 500,000 that some of that will be used specifically for additional support to the mountain empire.

3793
04:47:19,040 --> 04:47:31,220
Which I think may even be a better way to do it because there may be more specific needs in the community that require home delivery or other kind of distribution of the food.

3794
04:47:33,280 --> 04:47:35,200
So that is just where I'm at.

3795
04:47:35,420 --> 04:47:37,060
But yes, let's try to get there.

3796
04:47:37,080 --> 04:47:39,820
Do you want to ask staff what they would prefer?

3797
04:47:40,780 --> 04:47:43,780
Because as long as it's covered, I'm getting a quibble over how we get there.

3798
04:47:43,920 --> 04:47:44,400
Right.

3799
04:47:44,400 --> 04:47:48,460
the Spring Valley locations aren't of the highest need.

3800
04:47:49,020 --> 04:47:51,440
However, there are next to three of the communities

3801
04:47:51,440 --> 04:47:52,640
in your district.

3802
04:47:53,160 --> 04:47:55,020
There are of the highest need, I think.

3803
04:47:55,020 --> 04:47:57,800
But two, yeah, between D4, also some in D1,

3804
04:47:58,040 --> 04:48:00,220
I think Spring Valley is covering.

3805
04:48:02,560 --> 04:48:05,840
And also just thinking about the facilities

3806
04:48:05,840 --> 04:48:09,340
to that the county has, which you did bring that up

3807
04:48:09,340 --> 04:48:10,180
in Mountain of Fire.

3808
04:48:10,460 --> 04:48:12,100
But what would be the preference for staff?

3809
04:48:12,240 --> 04:48:12,860
What would be easier?

3810
04:48:13,960 --> 04:48:16,180
Thank you for that question through the chair.

3811
04:48:16,860 --> 04:48:23,600
I think one B does provide us the most flexibility in meeting the needs of that specific area.

3812
04:48:24,180 --> 04:48:31,460
So agree that if we could just use at $500,000 and tailor the food distribution whether it be home delivered

3813
04:48:31,460 --> 04:48:34,720
or if we find a site, we'll do something there.

3814
04:48:35,500 --> 04:48:40,860
Can you have your office reach out to our office because we have contacts in those communities

3815
04:48:40,860 --> 04:48:54,940
And then just too often, you know, some of these people don't have Internet, some of these people, I mean they're, it's object poverty, and maybe they have Internet, but they don't have access because they can't afford access.

3816
04:48:56,440 --> 04:49:00,000
So, we have teams that go out there from time to time, knock on doors.

3817
04:49:00,980 --> 04:49:09,600
I'd really like to find out, you know, what you're thinking, and then we want to make sure that we push that out, so that nobody slips to the cracks.

3818
04:49:09,600 --> 04:49:10,360
Absolutely.

3819
04:49:11,580 --> 04:49:12,540
Thank you.

3820
04:49:12,640 --> 04:49:14,140
Is that good with you?

3821
04:49:14,260 --> 04:49:15,040
I'm good with that.

3822
04:49:15,280 --> 04:49:15,680
Thank you.

3823
04:49:15,820 --> 04:49:15,980
Wonderful.

3824
04:49:20,180 --> 04:49:20,540
It's your resume.

3825
04:49:22,360 --> 04:49:23,560
Thank you, Madam Chair.

3826
04:49:24,120 --> 04:49:25,540
Well, I want to start off by thinking.

3827
04:49:25,860 --> 04:49:26,820
Vice here.

3828
04:49:26,940 --> 04:49:29,320
I'm going to accept for your leadership on this.

3829
04:49:29,320 --> 04:49:32,000
It's incredible work and it's incredibly important.

3830
04:49:32,900 --> 04:49:35,220
And it's just so unfortunate that here we are.

3831
04:49:35,280 --> 04:49:40,160
And we heard from the major food hubs, food distribution hubs in the entire county.

3832
04:49:40,160 --> 04:49:44,480
how significant the increase in need has been

3833
04:49:45,100 --> 04:49:47,480
and how much families are suffering.

3834
04:49:49,060 --> 04:49:50,360
But I did want to,

3835
04:49:51,600 --> 04:49:54,420
so I wanted to address two of the comments that I heard,

3836
04:49:55,120 --> 04:50:00,500
the lack of a refrigeration center in South Bay,

3837
04:50:00,520 --> 04:50:02,340
that's correct, it's on my radar.

3838
04:50:02,540 --> 04:50:03,860
We're looking at options.

3839
04:50:04,480 --> 04:50:09,340
It's something more longterm outside of this particular discussion,

3840
04:50:09,340 --> 04:50:11,560
but complimentary to it.

3841
04:50:12,560 --> 04:50:19,260
And secondly, the possibility of looking at 9195 zeros

3842
04:50:19,260 --> 04:50:23,720
as some of the commentators said.

3843
04:50:24,500 --> 04:50:27,000
So yeah, and I will turn it over to step

3844
04:50:27,000 --> 04:50:30,800
of what my understanding of 9195 zero is right now.

3845
04:50:30,980 --> 04:50:36,560
There are about 23 distribution sites in the zip code

3846
04:50:36,560 --> 04:50:39,780
that the food bank actually does,

3847
04:50:42,500 --> 04:50:45,700
we would have to check and see if that is accurate, right?

3848
04:50:45,700 --> 04:50:51,660
I know there have four schools as well, but I want to check and make sure that's the case.

3849
04:50:51,880 --> 04:51:03,140
Even if it is the case, if there is again a way through the one-be allocation, if we could call out supporting that zip code,

3850
04:51:03,740 --> 04:51:10,880
And as we do the analysis of what is actually available and making sure that we communicating

3851
04:51:10,880 --> 04:51:17,920
consult with District 1 on that as a code when it comes to that additional $500,000 allocation.

3852
04:51:18,260 --> 04:51:23,600
I think that would probably be the best way that way, even if we have these distribution

3853
04:51:23,600 --> 04:51:31,020
sites, if there's gaps in that right that we can, or again, home delivery, there's other

3854
04:51:31,020 --> 04:51:34,440
methods of trying to get the food to people as they need.

3855
04:51:34,540 --> 04:51:37,980
And so I think that will provide the most flexibility if you're happy with that.

3856
04:51:37,980 --> 04:51:44,140
I would welcome that thank you and especially for the, you know, the case of Lincoln

3857
04:51:44,140 --> 04:51:48,780
Acres being lived in with National City and maybe we're pulling data from National City

3858
04:51:48,780 --> 04:51:52,760
potentially that we're not accounting for maybe some of the unincorporated areas.

3859
04:51:53,320 --> 04:51:57,760
So I appreciate that and your amenability to looking at that.

3860
04:51:57,940 --> 04:51:59,220
Thank you.

3861
04:51:59,220 --> 04:52:03,200
Oh, and I don't know if there's this, well, I'm making a motion.

3862
04:52:03,260 --> 04:52:05,000
I'll set your motion, vice chair.

3863
04:52:05,380 --> 04:52:08,820
I'm a motion from vice chair to second, from the chair.

3864
04:52:12,650 --> 04:52:13,510
Supervisor Desmond.

3865
04:52:14,670 --> 04:52:15,570
Thank you, Madam Chair.

3866
04:52:17,130 --> 04:52:20,390
Just, I plan on supporting, but one of these, I think I need to address.

3867
04:52:20,990 --> 04:52:25,970
This HR1 seems to be the hammer, the tool that seems to get mischaracterized.

3868
04:52:27,190 --> 04:52:29,750
I think by a lot of people in some of our speakers as well,

3869
04:52:29,750 --> 04:52:33,310
the CalFresh is going to go away if people are going to not be eligible.

3870
04:52:34,230 --> 04:52:39,550
The new requirement for CalFresh only applies to people 18 to 64 years old,

3871
04:52:39,870 --> 04:52:43,970
who are able-bodied single and don't have children in the age of 14.

3872
04:52:44,610 --> 04:52:50,190
The only requirement is they have to volunteer or go to school 20 hours a week

3873
04:52:50,190 --> 04:52:55,390
where they have a job and they have to submit paperwork twice a year now instead of once a year.

3874
04:52:55,770 --> 04:52:56,810
Those are the new requirements.

3875
04:52:56,810 --> 04:52:59,590
So everybody that was eligible before is still eligible.

3876
04:53:01,290 --> 04:53:03,830
This CalFresh feature just kicked in a few weeks ago,

3877
04:53:03,870 --> 04:53:05,930
so we're going to see how it all works out.

3878
04:53:06,310 --> 04:53:07,650
And the same thing with the MetaCal.

3879
04:53:07,970 --> 04:53:11,590
Again, this is able-bodied people are being asked to work.

3880
04:53:11,650 --> 04:53:13,930
And like I said, they can go to school or cake and volunteer

3881
04:53:13,930 --> 04:53:15,350
for up to 20 hours a week.

3882
04:53:15,670 --> 04:53:17,630
It's very simple, it's very easy.

3883
04:53:19,370 --> 04:53:24,130
And even here in the board letter, it says they're at risk.

3884
04:53:24,250 --> 04:53:25,370
It doesn't say they're going to be losing.

3885
04:53:25,370 --> 04:53:34,370
So a lot of people, I think, are overblowing this HR1, when it's really just has some work requirements in our volunteer requirements.

3886
04:53:34,970 --> 04:53:38,630
And I do have a question, I guess, I'm going to be supportive today.

3887
04:53:39,350 --> 04:53:42,950
But the zip code thing kind of throws me, and I think one of the speakers I've mentioned that too.

3888
04:53:43,350 --> 04:53:46,850
The zip codes are just because of where you're mailing address.

3889
04:53:47,590 --> 04:53:50,530
It doesn't necessarily mean you qualify or not.

3890
04:53:50,530 --> 04:53:58,050
So if there's a way, and I know maybe the food banks already do this don't they have a qualification process or something like that for people that come in

3891
04:53:58,950 --> 04:54:07,330
It just it seems to be a net with a bunch of holes in it at this point type who banks have in a lot of

3892
04:54:07,330 --> 04:54:12,610
In partnership with the her coalition do almost real time data, so they have data

3893
04:54:12,610 --> 04:54:15,610
Okay, and it is based on zip code just because

3894
04:54:16,830 --> 04:54:18,390
that's, you know, unfortunately.

3895
04:54:19,130 --> 04:54:21,170
Well, I'm not gonna go down that rabbit hole.

3896
04:54:21,310 --> 04:54:23,950
We've been there already, but they do have data.

3897
04:54:24,050 --> 04:54:25,590
Also, the county, we have data.

3898
04:54:25,650 --> 04:54:30,890
We have, of course, the role of people that are eligible

3899
04:54:30,890 --> 04:54:34,770
for CalFresh and at risk, that's where the number comes from.

3900
04:54:35,370 --> 04:54:39,150
So I don't, you know, if we're not targeting it based on the need,

3901
04:54:39,210 --> 04:54:44,110
based on the data that we collect, then it really becomes

3902
04:54:44,110 --> 04:54:50,010
very arbitrary and that we're trying to base it as much as possible on data.

3903
04:54:50,510 --> 04:54:54,110
Well, and I agree with that, but there's just, there's somebody who's not in one of these

3904
04:54:54,110 --> 04:54:59,190
zip codes and they show up and they have a need. I want to make sure that they also have the

3905
04:54:59,190 --> 04:55:05,970
opportunity to act. Absolutely. And the hardest part about this is that the need is great regardless

3906
04:55:05,970 --> 04:55:13,430
of the community that we're talking about. This is just because we're trying to be as we have a

3907
04:55:13,430 --> 04:55:21,150
that's all day. Fiscally prudent, we're trying to do the best we can for the most amount of people for the most efficient cost.

3908
04:55:21,290 --> 04:55:27,470
That's really where this comes into play. You leave it up to me, I'd make sure that everybody has food, no matter what.

3909
04:55:31,880 --> 04:55:32,040
Okay.

3910
04:55:33,640 --> 04:55:34,660
Back to you, right, sure.

3911
04:55:34,920 --> 04:55:36,540
All right.

3912
04:55:38,320 --> 04:55:43,900
Just a couple of quick things, and I do appreciate the discussion, of course, that's why things come to the board,

3913
04:55:43,900 --> 04:55:47,380
because, again, we're all elected by our constituency

3914
04:55:47,380 --> 04:55:49,260
and we know our districts, right?

3915
04:55:49,260 --> 04:55:51,120
So I do appreciate the additional input.

3916
04:55:51,580 --> 04:55:54,680
I believe that the South County

3917
04:55:55,500 --> 04:56:01,240
live well-centered here may be actually in 950,

3918
04:56:01,660 --> 04:56:03,460
but regardless, we'll consult with D1

3919
04:56:03,460 --> 04:56:07,560
to make sure that we're clear on all of that.

3920
04:56:07,640 --> 04:56:09,620
And so the community, thank you for coming out

3921
04:56:09,620 --> 04:56:11,100
and asking the questions.

3922
04:56:13,360 --> 04:56:19,060
I just want to say this, like, it does not give me pleasure to sit in the seat and say that

3923
04:56:19,060 --> 04:56:20,820
93,000 people are at risk.

3924
04:56:21,420 --> 04:56:22,440
It doesn't give me pleasure.

3925
04:56:22,900 --> 04:56:28,300
I don't need to hit someone with that that doesn't agree with me on everything.

3926
04:56:28,460 --> 04:56:36,260
Like this is not fun to say that, but it is a reality that there are more people at risk.

3927
04:56:36,260 --> 04:56:39,700
And that is just something that having gone through COVID,

3928
04:56:40,260 --> 04:56:41,640
having gone through the floods,

3929
04:56:42,400 --> 04:56:45,980
that it really was on my heart to try to be proactive.

3930
04:56:46,800 --> 04:56:50,860
And the thing is a big, big, big part of this that I think is important

3931
04:56:50,860 --> 04:56:54,340
is the data collection because if the need is less,

3932
04:56:54,660 --> 04:56:58,540
then we will spend less money and it will come back into our general fund.

3933
04:56:59,200 --> 04:57:01,300
And that will be a victory, right?

3934
04:57:01,360 --> 04:57:05,740
Like, I'm not, this is not where I want to be,

3935
04:57:05,740 --> 04:57:08,280
but I think it's where we need to be right now.

3936
04:57:08,420 --> 04:57:09,420
We have to be proactive.

3937
04:57:10,060 --> 04:57:12,520
I think a re-determination, and those requirements

3938
04:57:12,520 --> 04:57:15,680
that ARM1 brings in has shown us across the nation

3939
04:57:15,680 --> 04:57:17,560
that when states do re-determination,

3940
04:57:17,720 --> 04:57:19,380
people automatically fall off the rolls,

3941
04:57:19,620 --> 04:57:21,840
because oftentimes they don't have the time

3942
04:57:21,840 --> 04:57:24,840
or the knowledge to bring their paperwork in every six months.

3943
04:57:26,260 --> 04:57:30,140
So it has these practical implications,

3944
04:57:30,420 --> 04:57:32,280
and we're just trying to mitigate for that's all.

3945
04:57:32,640 --> 04:57:34,660
And if we don't have to spend the money,

3946
04:57:34,660 --> 04:57:41,240
I think we'll all be very happy about that, and we can use it elsewhere.

3947
04:57:41,860 --> 04:57:46,580
The data will tell us that, and it's very important that we keep that data, and then we don't just say,

3948
04:57:47,100 --> 04:57:50,100
go off and spend the money without understanding what the need is.

3949
04:57:50,180 --> 04:57:54,960
So I appreciate the conversation here, and I'm done so.

3950
04:57:56,580 --> 04:57:58,420
Yeah, I'm done. Thank you.

3951
04:57:58,780 --> 04:58:01,680
Okay, thank you very much for the motion for the second.

3952
04:58:01,680 --> 04:58:02,880
I'll put this up.

3953
04:58:05,320 --> 04:58:07,360
Sure, I'll have to remember that motion passes you in, honestly.

3954
04:58:07,600 --> 04:58:09,780
The law supervisor is being present in voting aye.

3955
04:58:10,120 --> 04:58:10,380
Okay.

3956
04:58:11,320 --> 04:58:11,800
Great.

3957
04:58:12,520 --> 04:58:15,220
A little more than I move on to item 13.

3958
04:58:17,380 --> 04:58:19,240
So this is the continued item.

3959
04:58:21,180 --> 04:58:23,480
And Joel, this was your item initially.

3960
04:58:23,780 --> 04:58:24,540
Sorry, it's super, it's interesting.

3961
04:58:25,260 --> 04:58:26,900
So you're like to say a couple words.

3962
04:58:27,120 --> 04:58:33,240
Yeah, I like to present it real fast because hopefully it saves time when public comment

3963
04:58:33,240 --> 04:58:35,280
it's not in it.

3964
04:58:37,920 --> 04:58:41,440
So, just to bring people to speed on April 21st, the Board,

3965
04:58:41,480 --> 04:58:46,340
unanimously approved, Dr. Kankhini staff, to provide a board policy requiring

3966
04:58:46,340 --> 04:58:51,780
board ad hoc subcommittees to undertake several actions to ensure transparency

3967
04:58:52,300 --> 04:58:56,880
in public access to meetings. The recommended actions included public

3968
04:58:56,880 --> 04:59:00,540
posting of meeting agendas prior to the subcommittee meetings,

3969
04:59:00,540 --> 04:59:06,340
allowing the public to view the meetings and making the meeting minutes available to the public.

3970
04:59:06,940 --> 04:59:12,400
These mirror the standard transparency actions the board takes under our regular board meetings.

3971
04:59:13,000 --> 04:59:18,580
Although they're continued to support, there's continued to be support for adopting an apology

3972
04:59:18,580 --> 04:59:24,440
to provide the public with information and access to the board at HAC subcommittee meetings.

3973
04:59:24,440 --> 04:59:28,760
Some board members have raised concerns that some information

3974
04:59:28,760 --> 04:59:32,460
discussed during these meetings may need to be kept confidential.

3975
04:59:33,200 --> 04:59:33,860
I agree.

3976
04:59:35,320 --> 04:59:38,840
This, we need to be able to protect the personal information

3977
04:59:38,840 --> 04:59:43,380
of juveniles, but there's already protections in state law.

3978
04:59:44,260 --> 04:59:47,600
The county can't violate state law.

3979
04:59:48,620 --> 04:59:51,900
The recommendations in item 13 would not change

3980
04:59:51,900 --> 04:59:53,040
those protections.

3981
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:07,720
Vice-transparency Actions to be taken by the Board at Hacksaw Committees, allows the Board to waive this policy

3982
05:00:07,720 --> 05:00:16,920
when necessary to do so to protect confidential information. Here's the rub. However, without this policy

3983
05:00:16,920 --> 05:00:29,980
in place, the public will continue to be completely shut out of numerous decisions being made by the

3984
05:00:29,980 --> 05:00:37,640
people. So, that's always the minority of the board. And I'm giving an example in not trying

3985
05:00:37,640 --> 05:00:43,820
to pick a fight, but this is a great example. During our board and Hacks subcommittees

3986
05:00:43,820 --> 05:00:50,920
on juvenile justice meetings, critical information and testimony may not be delivered by the

3987
05:00:50,920 --> 05:00:56,480
chief probation officer, the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators, the Juvenile Justice

3988
05:00:56,480 --> 05:01:01,300
division, law enforcement officials, and youth advocacy groups.

3989
05:01:02,260 --> 05:01:07,500
There's currently no way for the public or other board members to access that vital information,

3990
05:01:08,040 --> 05:01:12,060
these officials and individuals have provided to these at-hoc subcommittees.

3991
05:01:12,840 --> 05:01:19,340
Other at-hoc subcommittees are making critical spending decisions, totaling tens of millions

3992
05:01:19,340 --> 05:01:25,040
of dollars that are only known by the public and other board members once they have been brought

3993
05:01:25,040 --> 05:01:27,560
before the board in final form.

3994
05:01:28,080 --> 05:01:29,680
We're not seeing how this stuff.

3995
05:01:30,660 --> 05:01:33,720
All the board subcommittees I've done are posted.

3996
05:01:33,900 --> 05:01:35,500
The testimonies are posted.

3997
05:01:36,100 --> 05:01:39,180
In any member of this board, in real time,

3998
05:01:39,560 --> 05:01:43,920
can track it, although we're not communicating.

3999
05:01:44,540 --> 05:01:46,020
It's available to the public, so it's

4000
05:01:46,020 --> 05:01:47,160
available to the board.

4001
05:01:47,220 --> 05:01:49,440
It doesn't violate the Brown Act.

4002
05:01:50,520 --> 05:01:54,600
Now, by adopting this new board policy,

4003
05:01:54,600 --> 05:02:01,000
A75, this board can demonstrate that it's serious about providing transparency in public access

4004
05:02:01,000 --> 05:02:07,100
to information considered by the board members in real time, while continuing to protect

4005
05:02:07,100 --> 05:02:09,820
the information that should be kept confidential.

4006
05:02:11,800 --> 05:02:20,000
I'd like to offer an amendment to my own board letter, and I think you have a copy of

4007
05:02:20,000 --> 05:02:26,280
If you wouldn't mind putting it up, I want to be sensitive to those confidential items.

4008
05:02:26,920 --> 05:02:28,860
And I want to protect children.

4009
05:02:29,000 --> 05:02:33,120
But I spent 12 years as the Vice Chair of Public Safety in the state legislature.

4010
05:02:33,740 --> 05:02:36,660
We had plenty of youth who testified before our committees.

4011
05:02:36,980 --> 05:02:44,540
We were able to meet the law, protect the kids, and still make sure that the public understood.

4012
05:02:44,540 --> 05:02:51,720
But so we would provide summaries of what the youth would provide in testimony, but all

4013
05:02:51,720 --> 05:02:53,100
of the adults in the room.

4014
05:02:53,660 --> 05:02:59,820
Their testimony was immediately made available for folks to follow.

4015
05:03:00,620 --> 05:03:09,120
So with this, it says notwithstanding the foregoing in the ad hoc subcommittee, may meet

4016
05:03:09,120 --> 05:03:14,820
off-identially on any topic which the Ralph M. Brown Act would permit a

4017
05:03:14,820 --> 05:03:20,220
legislative body to meet in close session. If not already covered by the

4018
05:03:20,220 --> 05:03:25,720
Brown Act or state law, state law covers juveniles. So that would

4019
05:03:25,720 --> 05:03:30,400
already be there. If an antaxelc community decides to meet

4020
05:03:30,400 --> 05:03:34,280
confidentially, the co-chairs must communicate the need and justify

4021
05:03:34,280 --> 05:03:38,360
for holding a confidential meeting to the other board members

4022
05:03:38,360 --> 05:03:42,280
and chief CAO in clerk of the board in County Council.

4023
05:03:42,740 --> 05:03:45,360
So in other words, you would automatically

4024
05:03:45,360 --> 05:03:48,180
be covered by state law, so you could absolutely

4025
05:03:49,000 --> 05:03:53,160
protect the youth or any item, say it's a personnel item,

4026
05:03:53,460 --> 05:03:55,340
say it's another sensitive item,

4027
05:03:55,700 --> 05:03:57,740
absolutely you'd have the right to do it because that would

4028
05:03:57,740 --> 05:04:00,700
be covered by the Brown Act if this was a full board.

4029
05:04:01,440 --> 05:04:03,900
So that would be the guardrails to make sure

4030
05:04:03,900 --> 05:04:05,000
that we're not doing it.

4031
05:04:05,360 --> 05:04:07,540
But if you had law enforcement and they were

4032
05:04:07,540 --> 05:04:15,580
giving testimony or you were asking AI experts and you had a subcommittee, you know, a panel

4033
05:04:15,580 --> 05:04:20,260
of AI experts. Everybody would have access to that, they'd be able to see it, they'd be

4034
05:04:20,260 --> 05:04:27,200
able to understand it. And, you know, when you have an open process like that too, one of

4035
05:04:27,200 --> 05:04:37,520
the things I like is we did receive emails from folks with additional questions or with

4036
05:04:37,520 --> 05:04:42,960
of who we brought in the next round of questioning, and that we covered all the topics.

4037
05:04:43,520 --> 05:04:49,080
Now, much of it I have to admit when people submitted it to us, it wasn't relevant.

4038
05:04:49,440 --> 05:04:53,940
They didn't fully understand the subject matter, and they had a good idea, but the idea

4039
05:04:53,940 --> 05:04:55,640
was against the law.

4040
05:04:56,060 --> 05:04:58,640
So that was not something that would get any traction.

4041
05:04:59,040 --> 05:05:04,720
But we're missing out on that input, and frankly, I'm missing out as a board member when these things

4042
05:05:04,720 --> 05:05:10,520
come before us and I have no way of knowing how that decision was made.

4043
05:05:11,100 --> 05:05:18,660
When it comes to a board in staff does it, we have staff to a presentation and we can ask

4044
05:05:18,660 --> 05:05:25,580
all the expertise of the staff but now we're going outside of the staff and not seeing what

4045
05:05:25,580 --> 05:05:32,120
they're saying, not hearing, not hearing what they're saying and not seeing what they're suggesting

4046
05:05:32,120 --> 05:05:40,880
is very, very problematic, so I'm hoping I solved the transparency issue by putting big

4047
05:05:40,880 --> 05:05:50,760
guardrails in place over things that need protection in the meetings and individuals that need

4048
05:05:50,760 --> 05:05:55,320
protection in the meetings or subject matter. Thank you, ma'am, Chair.

4049
05:05:55,980 --> 05:05:56,580
Okay.

4050
05:05:56,700 --> 05:05:57,680
By the way, it's a motion.

4051
05:05:58,100 --> 05:05:58,720
It's a motion.

4052
05:05:59,060 --> 05:05:59,420
It's a motion.

4053
05:06:00,720 --> 05:06:10,740
It's a motion where to pass the item as drafted with the addition of C and a second from

4054
05:06:10,740 --> 05:06:12,860
Supervisor Desmond, who will now go to public comment.

4055
05:06:16,250 --> 05:06:17,790
Thank you, Chair Lawson Rimmer.

4056
05:06:20,400 --> 05:06:26,220
We have 44 requests to speak on the side of 18 and a person in 26 requesting to speak

4057
05:06:26,220 --> 05:06:26,800
by phone.

4058
05:06:26,800 --> 05:06:30,860
Also, note for the record that we received 90 comments, all of those, and support.

4059
05:06:31,520 --> 05:06:35,500
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 13, my phone, please dial in on the

4060
05:06:35,500 --> 05:06:38,520
conference line using the instructions that were provided to you.

4061
05:06:38,820 --> 05:06:41,920
We'll begin with the in-person speaker, as your name is, call, please come forward and stand

4062
05:06:41,920 --> 05:06:45,340
on the arrows until it is returned to speak at the podium because there are ten or

4063
05:06:45,340 --> 05:06:46,320
more speakers on the side of me.

4064
05:06:46,320 --> 05:06:49,660
You'll have one minute to address the board, and I'll ask you to please begin by

4065
05:06:49,660 --> 05:06:51,340
stating your name for the audio record.

4066
05:06:52,160 --> 05:06:55,040
Be calling you in groups of three, so please listen for your name.

4067
05:06:55,960 --> 05:06:58,460
The first three individuals are Ryan Holmes,

4068
05:06:59,380 --> 05:07:01,480
Brett of Lindstrom and Dolly Madison.

4069
05:07:04,800 --> 05:07:05,400
Good

4070
05:07:07,920 --> 05:07:09,460
afternoon, my name is Ryan Holmes,

4071
05:07:09,580 --> 05:07:10,680
and thank you for your time.

4072
05:07:11,100 --> 05:07:13,560
I'm here speaking in support of agenda item 13.

4073
05:07:14,960 --> 05:07:19,980
The weight of public view into the discussions we're having today

4074
05:07:19,980 --> 05:07:24,180
is obvious in your behavior and how you speak to one another,

4075
05:07:24,900 --> 05:07:38,060
And the diplomacy that requires and the thoughtfulness and the care that that requires, and that might also be an argument for this measure, much of what becomes ordinance finds its origin in ad hoc committees.

4076
05:07:39,820 --> 05:07:50,420
And in the absence of public view, many things can occur in gain legs and momentum that may not be in the public interest, but might serve an individual interest.

4077
05:07:50,420 --> 05:07:57,100
So, there's a fair amount of argument for, though it may seem less than elegant to have that kind of input.

4078
05:07:58,700 --> 05:08:03,660
There's a tremendous amount of value in having that kind of oversight from your fellow constituents, right?

4079
05:08:04,040 --> 05:08:06,100
In real time. So, I thank you for your time.

4080
05:08:06,800 --> 05:08:07,200
Good question.

4081
05:08:08,900 --> 05:08:10,020
Thank you. Next speaker, please.

4082
05:08:12,740 --> 05:08:13,060
Hello.

4083
05:08:13,060 --> 05:08:20,660
Brie Tillenström District 3 and yes, I support transparency to board-created ad hoc committees.

4084
05:08:21,520 --> 05:08:28,740
Thank you. This proposal is truly transparent, and we must end secret subcommittee meetings.

4085
05:08:29,280 --> 05:08:32,800
Let the constituents be informed of these crucial conversations.

4086
05:08:33,400 --> 05:08:38,680
Obviously, the state-mandated private privacy aspects will be protected.

4087
05:08:38,680 --> 05:08:43,700
And so I assume that this is going to be passed unanimously, right?

4088
05:08:44,060 --> 05:08:47,840
Since you all have stated endorsement of transparency, right?

4089
05:08:48,460 --> 05:08:50,760
So, I'm looking forward to the vote.

4090
05:08:51,080 --> 05:08:52,940
And thank you, supervisor Anderson.

4091
05:08:56,400 --> 05:08:56,600
Thank you.

4092
05:08:56,620 --> 05:08:58,480
I'd like to invite four or three more speakers.

4093
05:08:59,220 --> 05:09:02,080
Oliver Twist, allegedly Audra and Doyle Morrison.

4094
05:09:03,540 --> 05:09:03,880
Madison.

4095
05:09:04,620 --> 05:09:06,920
I strongly support item 13.

4096
05:09:07,200 --> 05:09:10,640
We need transparency and need to know where the sausage is made.

4097
05:09:10,640 --> 05:09:18,700
The people spoke when voters voted for a specific term for you supervisors.

4098
05:09:19,360 --> 05:09:24,660
Today you voted yourselves longer terms, unless you're a hypocrite.

4099
05:09:24,880 --> 05:09:29,780
This means you are all okay when President Trump, if he extends his term.

4100
05:09:31,260 --> 05:09:38,760
I also like to add today, Tecalote Canyon, especially on the Cowley Wayside, is a San Diego

4101
05:09:38,760 --> 05:09:46,280
wildfires, ticking time bomb, and we need people out there to trim back and weed abatement.

4102
05:09:46,680 --> 05:09:51,140
Preventative measures like that are what help us from having all these people homeless

4103
05:09:51,140 --> 05:09:57,640
on the is one avenue that helps from so many people ended up homeless and in the streets

4104
05:09:57,640 --> 05:09:59,660
or wherever they can be.

4105
05:10:00,080 --> 05:10:05,780
Today we discussed millions of dollars for organizations that were passed for food, housing,

4106
05:10:05,780 --> 05:10:13,000
wrap around the service of the attorneys and get me. Thank you. Thank you. Time is up. Thank you.

4107
05:10:13,240 --> 05:10:14,180
Next speaker please.

4108
05:10:19,370 --> 05:10:25,450
Hello, my name is Doyle Morrison and I am in favor and support of this

4109
05:10:26,710 --> 05:10:37,010
before us because it's important to have the transparency so that everyone can pay attention to what's going on.

4110
05:10:37,010 --> 05:10:43,650
I spoke with a gentleman at lunch at the break, and we had this conversation about concern

4111
05:10:44,990 --> 05:10:51,230
about privacy for some of the children that are happening, and I believe Joel Anderson's

4112
05:10:51,230 --> 05:10:58,290
amendment has taken care of that so that they can be protected and the people can stay informed.

4113
05:10:59,510 --> 05:11:06,990
I believe that you guys can all agree that this is a win-win if we can have the transparent

4114
05:11:06,990 --> 05:11:09,790
and we can protect the children. Thank you for the concern.

4115
05:11:11,740 --> 05:11:13,420
Thank you. It's the next speakers coming forward on

4116
05:11:13,420 --> 05:11:16,300
the three additional speakers. Alicia Morrison,

4117
05:11:16,840 --> 05:11:18,600
Martha Espinoza and David Ray.

4118
05:11:20,650 --> 05:11:22,690
Hi, yes. Good afternoon. Mary Davis,

4119
05:11:22,890 --> 05:11:24,030
I hate Oliver Twist.

4120
05:11:24,370 --> 05:11:25,990
And I'm strongly in favor of this.

4121
05:11:26,010 --> 05:11:28,930
And I do consider myself a seasoned veteran of this chamber.

4122
05:11:29,250 --> 05:11:32,630
And I have to say that my four or five years of being here,

4123
05:11:32,770 --> 05:11:37,170
even I am confused about how policy comes forward and gets crafted.

4124
05:11:37,170 --> 05:11:41,390
It seems too much has done behind closed doors in the darkness.

4125
05:11:41,850 --> 05:11:46,630
I'm saying, bring it all out and you hold your boards and commissions to that standard.

4126
05:11:47,030 --> 05:11:51,670
So I don't understand why you would not hold every of your committee save those that do

4127
05:11:51,670 --> 05:11:55,170
truly require sensitivity like juveniles, and et cetera.

4128
05:11:55,730 --> 05:12:00,490
I'd also like to bring up this time, this might be the perfect time I've worked with

4129
05:12:00,490 --> 05:12:05,430
your financial office and to for the county reserve tracker real time dashboard.

4130
05:12:05,430 --> 05:12:12,710
So I would like maybe also to think about this in some kind of transparency, just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

4131
05:12:12,790 --> 05:12:18,310
I did send it and I had AI create it's a beautiful dashboard. It links to every vote you would do.

4132
05:12:18,730 --> 05:12:21,090
So please bring that forward as transparency.

4133
05:12:24,140 --> 05:12:25,740
Thank you. I'll hear from the next speaker.

4134
05:12:28,320 --> 05:12:29,860
Good afternoon, Alicia Morrison.

4135
05:12:30,720 --> 05:12:32,600
It is nice to stay informed.

4136
05:12:32,600 --> 05:12:44,140
The preemble of the Brown Act states, public commissions, boards, councils, and other legislative bodies of local government agencies exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business.

4137
05:12:45,020 --> 05:12:54,860
The people do not yield their sovereignty to bodies that serve them. The people insist on remaining informed to retain control over the legislative bodies they have created.

4138
05:12:54,860 --> 05:13:05,760
For example, right now, San Diego Parks Advisory Committee is missing April and May minutes from the website.

4139
05:13:06,400 --> 05:13:12,120
So you can't even go and review what business was conducted at those meetings.

4140
05:13:13,480 --> 05:13:16,500
Let's support this. I've seen nothing wrong with it.

4141
05:13:17,080 --> 05:13:24,500
If there is private, sensitive material redacted, if there is a concern for a private

4142
05:13:24,500 --> 05:13:27,160
individual information exposed,

4143
05:13:31,520 --> 05:13:31,960
this might help.

4144
05:13:32,760 --> 05:13:33,240
Thank you.

4145
05:13:33,380 --> 05:13:33,620
Thank you.

4146
05:13:33,900 --> 05:13:35,700
Good afternoon,

4147
05:13:38,240 --> 05:13:38,320
Board.

4148
05:13:38,560 --> 05:13:39,480
My name is Dave Ray.

4149
05:13:39,580 --> 05:13:41,320
I live in Spring Valley District 1.

4150
05:13:42,480 --> 05:13:49,140
And today this afternoon and this morning we've seen quite a lot of animosity of the citizens

4151
05:13:49,140 --> 05:13:52,140
against the board members, for how you're conducting your work.

4152
05:13:53,020 --> 05:13:59,600
A while back, there was another huge situation with the placement of the minicab and shelters

4153
05:13:59,600 --> 05:14:06,800
in Lemming Grove against the visciferous opposition by the citizens of Lemming Grove in Spring Valley.

4154
05:14:08,500 --> 05:14:13,800
However, you have an amazing opportunity in front of you right now to redeem yourselves

4155
05:14:13,800 --> 05:14:21,360
and to repair this situation by showing this that you really really do care about the citizens.

4156
05:14:22,520 --> 05:14:32,600
I support supervisor Anderson's idea and I urge you to strongly support it as well

4157
05:14:32,600 --> 05:14:38,500
because it will give you an opportunity to really show accountability and transparency.

4158
05:14:39,500 --> 05:14:40,340
Thank you.

4159
05:14:42,420 --> 05:14:46,120
Thank you. It's the next speaker's coming forward. I'll invite three additional speakers.

4160
05:14:46,720 --> 05:14:50,040
Alejandro Martinez, whom I already a Siffie and Rama Opti.

4161
05:15:00,880 --> 05:15:06,520
I am in favor of this item. Thank you to supervisor Anderson for bringing it forward.

4162
05:15:07,860 --> 05:15:13,940
Him and I sit on different sides of the aisle, but in my time and coming to Board of Supervisors,

4163
05:15:14,180 --> 05:15:21,760
meeting meetings, I found it to be very kind, reasonable, often funny, but very strong-hearted

4164
05:15:21,760 --> 05:15:31,760
So I thank him for this and the second from Supervisor Desmond and just to wrap up for

4165
05:15:32,940 --> 05:15:39,060
Item 12, sorry, hunger, pain, and lust are all very strong mode of being factors and

4166
05:15:39,400 --> 05:15:46,460
Food and security has both physiological and psychological effect and mitigating that

4167
05:15:46,460 --> 05:15:48,720
Helps the wider computing in various ways.

4168
05:15:49,000 --> 05:15:49,780
Thank you.

4169
05:15:51,220 --> 05:15:51,800
Thank you.

4170
05:15:52,000 --> 05:15:52,600
Can you speak up please?

4171
05:15:53,320 --> 05:15:53,600
Hi.

4172
05:15:53,800 --> 05:15:54,300
Thank you.

4173
05:15:54,580 --> 05:15:55,100
Good afternoon again.

4174
05:15:55,300 --> 05:15:55,760
Board of Supervisors.

4175
05:15:55,920 --> 05:15:56,460
My name is Alejandro.

4176
05:15:58,500 --> 05:15:59,820
Supervisor Joe Anderson.

4177
05:16:00,040 --> 05:16:04,120
I'm glad you brought up the juvenile justice ad hoc subcommittee because it's exactly

4178
05:16:04,120 --> 05:16:06,000
what I'm going to allude to.

4179
05:16:06,920 --> 05:16:10,320
While transparency is so important, you know, I work in the juvenile justice landscape

4180
05:16:10,320 --> 05:16:15,660
and transparency is something that we're always trying to overcome, especially with

4181
05:16:15,660 --> 05:16:17,180
certain agencies that work in this county.

4182
05:16:17,180 --> 05:16:24,460
And what we have been able to do in the ad hoc as is is the reason why we had so many young

4183
05:16:24,460 --> 05:16:27,620
people come in today and present and share their stories.

4184
05:16:28,600 --> 05:16:35,440
So I would really encourage any form of the changing of any ad hoc that you advise the young

4185
05:16:35,440 --> 05:16:39,340
people in that juvenile justice ad hoc subcommittee if this is something they want.

4186
05:16:40,160 --> 05:16:44,280
So we should be centering these young people as we're making these decisions about meetings

4187
05:16:44,280 --> 05:16:47,920
that are centering their voices, their stories, right?

4188
05:16:47,920 --> 05:16:50,180
And so if we disrupt that juvenile,

4189
05:16:50,400 --> 05:16:52,660
we're going to disrupt a lot of the powerful work

4190
05:16:52,660 --> 05:16:53,800
that we're doing right now in the county.

4191
05:16:54,260 --> 05:16:56,900
So I would just recommend that you think twice

4192
05:16:56,900 --> 05:16:58,300
about what we're trying to do here.

4193
05:16:58,580 --> 05:17:00,200
Thank you.

4194
05:17:00,760 --> 05:17:00,980
Thank you.

4195
05:17:00,980 --> 05:17:01,560
Thanks, Speaker, please.

4196
05:17:06,740 --> 05:17:07,320
Good afternoon.

4197
05:17:07,660 --> 05:17:08,920
My name is Rahma Abdi.

4198
05:17:09,140 --> 05:17:12,300
I'm with the Pana, and also resident of district four.

4199
05:17:12,680 --> 05:17:14,320
I'm here to oppose an item 13.

4200
05:17:14,800 --> 05:17:17,420
Our organization worked with immigrant and refugee communities.

4201
05:17:17,420 --> 05:17:22,520
We support transparency and accountability, however, I do not support this proposal.

4202
05:17:23,360 --> 05:17:26,180
We already have many rules, meetings, and public process.

4203
05:17:26,980 --> 05:17:29,240
In the final decision always made by the board.

4204
05:17:29,980 --> 05:17:34,440
Our community are important because they help supervisor discuss the new issue and respond

4205
05:17:34,440 --> 05:17:35,860
to the community needs quickly.

4206
05:17:36,840 --> 05:17:40,280
They are created to address specific issues and provide recommendation.

4207
05:17:41,000 --> 05:17:44,220
And I ask you also vote no on this item.

4208
05:17:44,620 --> 05:17:45,380
Thank you.

4209
05:17:47,220 --> 05:17:47,820
Thank you.

4210
05:17:47,820 --> 05:17:50,520
the next speaker is coming forward. I'll call three additional speakers,

4211
05:17:54,500 --> 05:17:55,640
move homin, Alexander

4212
05:17:55,640 --> 05:17:58,900
Valentin, and Michelle Krueg. I've called your name, please, come forward.

4213
05:18:03,420 --> 05:18:15,240
This won't pass. Porque as thas, trasputas, dieron cano. That's why. And it's interesting because

4214
05:18:15,240 --> 05:18:19,680
you guys don't want to be transparent what's actually going on with the children. And that's

4215
05:18:19,680 --> 05:18:24,160
what's so nefarious but all things and done in the dark will come to the light. And it's

4216
05:18:24,160 --> 05:18:28,480
interesting that we think, or someone here thinks that Joel and Jim took an oath to protect

4217
05:18:28,480 --> 05:18:36,860
Paloma's feelings, but if I want to say punta, verga, culo, negra, estubila, I mean,

4218
05:18:37,280 --> 05:18:42,880
kekata, shakatina, mirad, whatever I want to say, I can, it's protected under free speech,

4219
05:18:42,880 --> 05:18:48,280
and that's what you took an oath to uphold. So you can sit here and be offended all

4220
05:18:48,280 --> 05:18:52,400
you want, but you sat there and you said, I love when you guys go up there and you love

4221
05:18:52,400 --> 05:18:57,520
use your free speech. You want to impede it every chance you get. That's a violation of the

4222
05:18:57,520 --> 05:19:04,340
lines that you guys have for litigation. So I suggest you stop. And I can say Punta, put

4223
05:19:04,340 --> 05:19:06,580
that whatever all I want.

4224
05:19:11,790 --> 05:19:14,810
Next speaker please. I've called your name. Thank

4225
05:19:16,950 --> 05:19:18,170
you.

4226
05:19:23,030 --> 05:19:32,110
Michelle Krug and I guess I've been spoiled with the City of San Diego because all of the, and I

4227
05:19:32,110 --> 05:19:44,530
You know there's a difference between ad hoc committees and standard committees, but I've always been able to see when a committee is meeting in my government, in my city government.

4228
05:19:45,770 --> 05:19:56,630
So I really would appreciate knowing that, knowing what the topics are, even being able to just give that feedback, even if it wasn't at the meeting.

4229
05:19:57,650 --> 05:20:07,530
But I do think it's important that that be all calendered, so we do know that that's happening and what the topics are.

4230
05:20:07,610 --> 05:20:12,710
I'm on the persons with disabilities committee and even a baby committee like that.

4231
05:20:13,950 --> 05:20:20,210
We adhere to the Brown Act, so I would like to see that happen with all of our committees.

4232
05:20:20,630 --> 05:20:22,170
Thank you.

4233
05:20:22,170 --> 05:20:26,030
Thank you, like to write forward additional speakers, lucky Aiden,

4234
05:20:26,050 --> 05:20:28,810
Brett of Lindström, and DeAndrey Brooks.

4235
05:20:35,860 --> 05:20:39,160
Good afternoon, supervisors, lucky Aiden, district four,

4236
05:20:39,460 --> 05:20:41,940
resident with Hannah, Hannah poses this item,

4237
05:20:42,160 --> 05:20:45,100
because we don't believe that adding more bureaucratic hurdles

4238
05:20:45,100 --> 05:20:48,320
help increase transparency and oversight in the government.

4239
05:20:48,960 --> 05:20:52,260
We do believe that making meetings public is important,

4240
05:20:52,700 --> 05:20:54,160
providing meeting notes, and so on.

4241
05:20:54,300 --> 05:20:56,200
But those are already part of the eye-hark.

4242
05:20:56,200 --> 05:20:59,160
at Hark community procedures are ready.

4243
05:20:59,820 --> 05:21:01,540
The at-hark community procedures for those

4244
05:21:01,540 --> 05:21:03,760
in juvenile justice uncovered real issues

4245
05:21:03,760 --> 05:21:06,680
and now O.C. sprays is no longer used

4246
05:21:06,680 --> 05:21:08,280
going to be used on our youth.

4247
05:21:08,720 --> 05:21:10,540
We urge you to vote no on this item

4248
05:21:10,540 --> 05:21:12,780
because vulnerable communities should have a safe

4249
05:21:12,780 --> 05:21:15,640
place to bring up critical and emerging issues.

4250
05:21:15,980 --> 05:21:16,700
Thank you.

4251
05:21:18,300 --> 05:21:18,940
Thank you.

4252
05:21:21,130 --> 05:21:24,570
And a final call for homirious FE Muhammad,

4253
05:21:24,570 --> 05:21:28,490
Alexander Valentin, Deander Brooks,

4254
05:21:30,880 --> 05:21:31,640
not seeing those individuals.

4255
05:21:31,820 --> 05:21:34,820
We're now here from the individuals that requested to speak by phone.

4256
05:21:34,900 --> 05:21:36,340
We will start with the first caller.

4257
05:21:43,910 --> 05:21:44,770
Good afternoon, again.

4258
05:21:44,910 --> 05:21:48,590
This is Kathleen LeBent and I think supervisor Anderson,

4259
05:21:48,850 --> 05:21:56,730
for his thoughtful and well-focused comments about his item here.

4260
05:21:57,010 --> 05:21:57,570
I'm 13.

4261
05:21:58,350 --> 05:21:59,450
Absolutely supported.

4262
05:21:59,450 --> 05:22:06,770
There is more transparency is always necessary.

4263
05:22:07,570 --> 05:22:13,330
The public is already challenged in navigating the county's website or agenda's staff

4264
05:22:13,330 --> 05:22:16,270
report, the bureaucratic language that's used.

4265
05:22:17,030 --> 05:22:23,770
We did not need any more that is obscured under the cloak of politicization.

4266
05:22:24,350 --> 05:22:25,110
So thank you.

4267
05:22:25,530 --> 05:22:27,890
And I hope that you will support this item.

4268
05:22:27,890 --> 05:22:30,650
And thank you again to provide your Anderson.

4269
05:22:31,850 --> 05:22:32,770
Thank you.

4270
05:22:32,870 --> 05:22:34,250
We'll hear from the next caller.

4271
05:22:42,040 --> 05:22:47,160
All about the figures that this was blessed by them on their original agenda.

4272
05:22:47,700 --> 05:22:51,600
You just don't want to reveal your dirty little secrets.

4273
05:22:52,040 --> 05:22:55,420
You mentioned privacy, need to see privacy.

4274
05:22:55,820 --> 05:23:00,500
Every little excuse you can find, but you know what?

4275
05:23:00,500 --> 05:23:05,580
It's all government stuff, all discoverable.

4276
05:23:05,880 --> 05:23:09,680
That was the voice of San Diego, PRA,

4277
05:23:09,880 --> 05:23:13,980
who was a public worker, that philosophy is all about.

4278
05:23:14,480 --> 05:23:17,160
We're viewing government's third-year-old secrets.

4279
05:23:18,260 --> 05:23:21,440
The new policy looks good, great job.

4280
05:23:21,960 --> 05:23:24,960
This will definitely increase the transparency,

4281
05:23:25,580 --> 05:23:28,000
submitting, and that seems to ensure

4282
05:23:28,000 --> 05:23:31,200
why their description of it is an opinion

4283
05:23:31,200 --> 05:23:35,320
when it comes to discussing proving meeting topics.

4284
05:23:36,360 --> 05:23:38,100
Pernson's criminal justice,

4285
05:23:38,620 --> 05:23:41,760
I'm sure the board warden to want us to know

4286
05:23:41,760 --> 05:23:43,400
would you change it?

4287
05:23:43,760 --> 05:23:44,120
It did.

4288
05:23:45,580 --> 05:23:46,780
You're from the next caller.

4289
05:23:54,660 --> 05:23:55,560
That's one fellow here.

4290
05:23:56,340 --> 05:23:59,940
I'm just a tear-pain attention and seen.

4291
05:24:00,660 --> 05:24:05,140
But the others are saying, and yeah, it's good to see

4292
05:24:05,140 --> 05:24:07,800
and drunken zombie in the chambers.

4293
05:24:08,460 --> 05:24:10,400
Glad you're back at it, paying attention.

4294
05:24:12,160 --> 05:24:14,180
But let's see.

4295
05:24:14,940 --> 05:24:16,220
Got to follow how long the item.

4296
05:24:18,940 --> 05:24:19,580
What do you think?

4297
05:24:23,600 --> 05:24:24,620
Thank you.

4298
05:24:26,870 --> 05:24:27,410
Thank you.

4299
05:24:27,630 --> 05:24:28,470
Well, here from the next call.

4300
05:24:48,120 --> 05:24:48,880
Barbara Gordon.

4301
05:24:49,880 --> 05:24:53,900
I urge you to adopt this board policy A75

4302
05:24:53,900 --> 05:24:56,900
that will clearly identify the actions up

4303
05:24:56,900 --> 05:24:59,100
any ad hoc subcommittee.

4304
05:24:59,100 --> 05:25:01,460
This policy is necessary to ensure

4305
05:25:01,460 --> 05:25:08,300
the public a level of transparency and accountability that continues to be missing from this

4306
05:25:08,300 --> 05:25:08,780
board.

4307
05:25:09,340 --> 05:25:17,640
Your constituents need to be informed of the actions taken by all ad hoc committees, particularly

4308
05:25:17,640 --> 05:25:23,140
when important policies and financial matters are being discussed and acted upon.

4309
05:25:23,620 --> 05:25:28,900
County residents deserve access to the subcommittee meetings and information.

4310
05:25:28,900 --> 05:25:33,120
And there needs to be rules and guidance for the operation of these committees.

4311
05:25:33,640 --> 05:25:38,960
There needs to be a schedule of all meetings posted online with agendas and material prior

4312
05:25:38,960 --> 05:25:39,900
to the meeting.

4313
05:25:40,260 --> 05:25:44,680
Again, I urge you to vote for this new board policy, A75.

4314
05:25:45,320 --> 05:25:46,480
Thank you very much.

4315
05:25:48,520 --> 05:25:49,300
Thank you.

4316
05:25:49,440 --> 05:25:49,680
Thank you.

4317
05:25:49,680 --> 05:25:50,780
Well, here from the next caller.

4318
05:26:00,480 --> 05:26:01,300
Good afternoon, Board.

4319
05:26:01,840 --> 05:26:02,400
Supervisors.

4320
05:26:02,440 --> 05:26:06,640
My name is Russell James, and I'm speaking in support of item 13.

4321
05:26:07,880 --> 05:26:15,400
This measure has value, and I'm asking you all your support for this measure as well.

4322
05:26:16,540 --> 05:26:22,160
Previous opposition from some board members remind Pityan adequately address and options

4323
05:26:22,160 --> 05:26:24,020
offer to mitigate these issues.

4324
05:26:25,060 --> 05:26:27,800
Unfortunately, they either measure is still not being supported.

4325
05:26:30,680 --> 05:26:35,140
Public deserves transparency and I urge you to vote yes on this.

4326
05:26:35,140 --> 05:26:43,620
The members that refuse to the spark this measure, please remember that the public comment is overwhelmingly supporting it.

4327
05:26:44,020 --> 05:26:44,620
We are watching.

4328
05:26:45,660 --> 05:26:46,500
We will remember.

4329
05:26:47,400 --> 05:26:49,900
Your actions come.

4330
05:26:50,120 --> 05:26:54,440
We will remember your actions come in re-election time.

4331
05:26:55,180 --> 05:26:56,460
Your actions are lack thereof.

4332
05:26:57,140 --> 05:26:58,080
You have consequences.

4333
05:26:59,240 --> 05:26:59,740
Thank you very much.

4334
05:27:03,170 --> 05:27:03,530
Thank you.

4335
05:27:04,570 --> 05:27:05,130
Good

4336
05:27:11,240 --> 05:27:26,620
afternoon, Board of Supervisors, my name is Terry and Scale. I came today to support item 13 because those of us living in the unincorporated field very much cut off from the flow of information behind the decision making that is happening at Board of Supervisors.

4337
05:27:26,620 --> 05:27:33,920
And the background of her making associated to those decisions that may have come from an ad hoc committee meeting.

4338
05:27:34,680 --> 05:27:46,100
As you know, I do 13 recommends that a minimum of that a minimum of that a minimum of the public must have access to a agenda for ad hoc committee.

4339
05:27:46,100 --> 05:27:51,740
Where names are not necessary, just general topics that are on the agenda and at a minimum

4340
05:27:51,740 --> 05:27:56,780
an opportunity to know the results of the agenda items, again, no names are necessary.

4341
05:27:57,680 --> 05:28:03,820
It would also be useful to know what the supporting materials were associated with when making decisions

4342
05:28:03,820 --> 05:28:06,460
on the agenda that are not confidential.

4343
05:28:07,300 --> 05:28:15,100
This would be a safe and we in a way to begin so that this Board of Supervisors wouldn't seem so resisted.

4344
05:28:15,100 --> 05:28:15,660
Thank you.

4345
05:28:15,800 --> 05:28:16,680
You're from the next caller.

4346
05:28:24,520 --> 05:28:25,080
Thank you, Walker.

4347
05:28:25,480 --> 05:28:27,360
I strongly favor this.

4348
05:28:27,600 --> 05:28:29,300
There are lots and remorse that's earlier.

4349
05:28:29,820 --> 05:28:33,200
That charter reform has been a court participatory process.

4350
05:28:33,740 --> 05:28:35,740
That is a griege of free invalid.

4351
05:28:36,240 --> 05:28:41,780
Outside of special interest groups, the public has little opportunity for input or scrutiny

4352
05:28:41,780 --> 05:28:45,600
of that proposal and was cut off from board meeting comment.

4353
05:28:46,420 --> 05:28:48,140
Transparency builds trust.

4354
05:28:48,140 --> 05:28:49,940
That's compelling reason.

4355
05:28:50,200 --> 05:28:52,380
If you really believe in quote,

4356
05:28:52,960 --> 05:28:54,460
participatory processes,

4357
05:28:55,200 --> 05:28:58,120
or ad hoc committees to operate with clear rules

4358
05:28:58,120 --> 05:29:00,330
and meaningful public access,

4359
05:29:01,220 --> 05:29:04,340
that means access to know who's at the table

4360
05:29:04,340 --> 05:29:09,300
and how decisions are shaped before reaching board meetings.

4361
05:29:09,920 --> 05:29:11,860
Your yes vote on this issue

4362
05:29:11,860 --> 05:29:17,580
will be a true measure of your commitment to the participatory process.

4363
05:29:17,580 --> 05:29:27,020
and transparency, or whether that's just convenient rhetoric, appropriate exclusions for vulnerable issues that have been addressed.

4364
05:29:27,940 --> 05:29:29,360
Thank you for the next caller.

4365
05:29:35,880 --> 05:29:41,560
Good afternoon. My name is Becky Rapp, and I urge you to support Board Policy A75,

4366
05:29:42,500 --> 05:29:45,780
because transparency should apply to all board-created subcommittees,

4367
05:29:46,380 --> 05:29:50,640
especially when they're discussing major policy issues before they come to the full board.

4368
05:29:50,640 --> 05:29:54,620
A good example is the county's socially equitable cannabis program.

4369
05:29:55,040 --> 05:29:59,120
This program has been under development for years and could have significant impact

4370
05:29:59,120 --> 05:29:59,940
on public health.

4371
05:30:00,300 --> 05:30:07,320
Public safety, safety, neighborhood, youth exposure, and county finances. Yet many residents have found

4372
05:30:07,320 --> 05:30:12,820
a difficult to track where recommendations were developed and what discussions occurred before

4373
05:30:12,820 --> 05:30:17,700
they reached the board. The public deserve time-loved notice of meetings, access to agenda

4374
05:30:17,700 --> 05:30:22,720
as recordings, meeting materials, consultant information, and clear documentation of recommendations.

4375
05:30:23,840 --> 05:30:29,120
Transparency should begin when policies are being developed, not just when final decisions are scheduled

4376
05:30:29,120 --> 05:30:34,520
for a board vote. The policy will help ensure that residents can follow important discussions,

4377
05:30:34,840 --> 05:30:38,880
understand how recommendations are formed and participate in this.

4378
05:30:38,880 --> 05:30:40,500
Thank you. We'll hear from the next call.

4379
05:30:47,700 --> 05:30:54,140
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors. I appreciate this opportunity to share my support for item 13,

4380
05:30:54,820 --> 05:30:59,600
regarding supervisor Anderson's proposal regarding ad hoc committees.

4381
05:31:00,260 --> 05:31:08,460
I find it confusing that maybe my board of supervisor wouldn't have the information he needed

4382
05:31:08,460 --> 05:31:11,720
because he doesn't get any of it from an ad hoc committee.

4383
05:31:12,440 --> 05:31:16,760
Imagine how that extends out to those of us who live out here in the Incorcorrated area.

4384
05:31:16,940 --> 05:31:18,760
We don't have an access to understand.

4385
05:31:19,420 --> 05:31:26,180
It has been said that transparency is the bedrock of trust, accountability, and authentic relationships.

4386
05:31:26,180 --> 05:31:33,120
It eliminates hidden agendas, foster psychological safety, and allows genuine connection to

4387
05:31:33,120 --> 05:31:38,440
flurry, proving that honesty is the ultimate catalyst for both personal and organizational

4388
05:31:39,180 --> 05:31:39,780
integrity.

4389
05:31:40,540 --> 05:31:45,920
I would add to that the these opportunities to understand what's happening in our county and

4390
05:31:45,920 --> 05:31:49,600
the agendas and decisions and supporting material.

4391
05:31:50,700 --> 05:31:52,620
Thank you for hearing from the next caller.

4392
05:31:58,960 --> 05:32:02,960
A. It's true, Brown, four of hearing this kind of a lot of transparency that Tara Manning

4393
05:32:02,960 --> 05:32:07,040
Monica continued to resist like cockroaches in the light. The corrupt progressives don't

4394
05:32:07,040 --> 05:32:10,520
want to know about the backroom deals with the harm-reach. That's when coalitions, the

4395
05:32:10,520 --> 05:32:14,340
backroom deals with Paul Warley, the backroom deals with J.C. Cooper, the backroom deals with

4396
05:32:14,340 --> 05:32:18,300
a center on policy initiatives, the backroom deals many made with their dead meat, and they don't

4397
05:32:18,300 --> 05:32:22,380
want the public to know or have any, say, and how many, so many, multi-million art solstice

4398
05:32:22,380 --> 05:32:26,700
contracts came to be. Or how backcountry residents have been forced to bail out the city

4399
05:32:26,700 --> 05:32:31,120
Sunday with time and time again. The floods aren't homelessness. Everything is what they want

4400
05:32:31,120 --> 05:32:35,960
us in the dark on using children as their shield. There is political theater, many's

4401
05:32:35,960 --> 05:32:41,260
meeting with monogues, monogues, TDS, and their secret ad hoc solve, nothing. Again, I'm

4402
05:32:41,260 --> 05:32:46,840
well as Joel, Terran, Jim, who got $200 from AC&T using our public special events trust

4403
05:32:46,840 --> 05:32:51,020
funds to funnel money to their private campaigns, does everything anyone ever needs to know

4404
05:32:51,020 --> 05:32:55,860
about this credit board and the war transparency? They do not relate, nor equate. And monogues

4405
05:32:55,860 --> 05:32:59,860
you're sitting records to don't worry. We the people bring the real life.

4406
05:33:02,220 --> 05:33:03,640
What's here from the next caller?

4407
05:33:10,430 --> 05:33:11,510
Victor here.

4408
05:33:11,770 --> 05:33:16,030
I'm definitely for this. This is definitely the crux of democracy right here.

4409
05:33:16,230 --> 05:33:17,270
You have to do it.

4410
05:33:17,570 --> 05:33:22,290
And also I've heard rumors that the subcommittee's have met already on the

4411
05:33:22,290 --> 05:33:23,270
slut walk.

4412
05:33:23,690 --> 05:33:26,510
The sluts we're going to have without telling anybody.

4413
05:33:27,590 --> 05:33:32,010
They weren't going to include the sluts over the city council meetings on their

4414
05:33:32,010 --> 05:33:37,770
with a national avenue to celebrate the parade over there and collect some food

4415
05:33:37,770 --> 05:33:39,090
steps for the constituency.

4416
05:33:40,470 --> 05:33:44,810
This is like, this is, get the money out of Gavin Newsom's wife.

4417
05:33:45,090 --> 05:33:50,810
She stole all the fire money and then also Michelle Obama is a man.

4418
05:33:51,410 --> 05:33:52,250
That would be a nice

4419
05:34:00,190 --> 05:34:01,950
one here from the next column.

4420
05:34:09,510 --> 05:34:13,290
Yes, on this with a protection of minors and delicate material.

4421
05:34:13,290 --> 05:34:20,170
Two things here, where Tara, that means you won't vote so this item agenda will not pass.

4422
05:34:20,770 --> 05:34:28,310
And here's an interesting thing, why is Hannah, who purports to be, oh, we're new Americans, opposed transparency and accountability.

4423
05:34:29,170 --> 05:34:30,410
Maybe they need to be investigated.

4424
05:34:37,760 --> 05:34:38,620
Thank you.

4425
05:34:41,440 --> 05:34:42,420
You're all here for the next call.

4426
05:34:50,360 --> 05:34:58,920
Well, my name is Madison, and I urge you to support this policy to require transparency and accountability for all Board of Supervisors Ad hoc subsidies.

4427
05:34:58,920 --> 05:35:04,100
As a resident and mother of three young children, I often follow county decisions, but effect

4428
05:35:04,100 --> 05:35:08,960
public health, safety, housing, behavioral health, and youth substance use prevention.

4429
05:35:09,820 --> 05:35:14,440
Many of these issues are first discussed in subcommittees before they ever come to the full board.

4430
05:35:15,120 --> 05:35:21,300
When those discussions happen outside of public view, it becomes difficult for residents to understand how decisions are being shaped,

4431
05:35:21,620 --> 05:35:25,040
or if you provide meaningful input before recommendations are finalized.

4432
05:35:25,040 --> 05:35:29,600
County residents should not have to search for information or learn about important policy

4433
05:35:29,600 --> 05:35:32,840
discussions after decisions have already been made.

4434
05:35:33,160 --> 05:35:38,220
Whether the topic is behavioral health, fiscal matters, AI, environmental issues, or

4435
05:35:38,220 --> 05:35:42,440
any other county concerns, the public deserves an opportunity to stay informed and engage

4436
05:35:42,440 --> 05:35:43,600
throughout the process.

4437
05:35:44,240 --> 05:35:48,020
Greater transparency leads to better decisions, so please support this item.

4438
05:35:48,280 --> 05:35:49,180
Thank you.

4439
05:36:01,220 --> 05:36:09,020
Blair Beakman, hi this is Blair Beakman, thanks a lot for this item, I am a big believer

4440
05:36:09,020 --> 05:36:15,320
in check accountability, it first came on in 2014 to address the concepts of continual

4441
05:36:15,320 --> 05:36:20,620
war from 9-11. I think we've kind of developed ourselves into patterns to working more

4442
05:36:20,620 --> 05:36:27,280
in secrecy because of 9-11 and check accountability really brought on ways we can open

4443
05:36:27,280 --> 05:36:32,780
ourselves up and talk more openly and and work towards open democracy and community again.

4444
05:36:33,700 --> 05:36:38,940
I'm a little gung-ho in this stuff so to me it's great to hear this item. I really learned

4445
05:36:38,940 --> 05:36:42,780
important lessons today that it requires sensitivity.

4446
05:36:50,850 --> 05:36:51,910
Thank you.

4447
05:37:03,090 --> 05:37:04,590
Give me a moment to reconnect here

4448
05:37:05,170 --> 05:37:07,410
and then we'll hear from the final five colors.

4449
05:37:38,480 --> 05:37:40,000
Thank you. We'll hear from the next color.

4450
05:37:47,140 --> 05:37:52,940
Good afternoon. My name is Diane Grace, has the board letter indicates, quote,

4451
05:37:53,320 --> 05:37:59,660
board meetings and advisory bodies operate under procedures intended to provide equitable

4452
05:37:59,660 --> 05:38:06,500
access for county residents and of quote. Establishing consistent requirements for board

4453
05:38:06,500 --> 05:38:14,160
ad hoc committees would accomplish these same goals. Otherwise, those supervisors not attending

4454
05:38:14,160 --> 05:38:21,760
or allowed to attend or are invited to attend ad hoc meetings, do not know what's happening

4455
05:38:21,760 --> 05:38:30,100
and that is scary. This is the worst kind of secrecy. The next step would be to open up these

4456
05:38:30,100 --> 05:38:36,640
meetings to citizens who are harmed by and assisted by the happenings and discussion and

4457
05:38:36,640 --> 05:38:44,620
information flow in this meeting. This would be the height of respect for us residents and those

4458
05:38:44,620 --> 05:38:50,680
of us in the back country communities could use a little respect and consideration. Thank you.

4459
05:38:52,040 --> 05:38:53,440
Thank you. We'll hear from the next call.

4460
05:39:01,790 --> 05:39:03,690
Good afternoon. My name is David Geiger,

4461
05:39:03,990 --> 05:39:09,230
resident of Parks and Canyon in District 2 and I support IDN-13. As a veterinarian, I don't have

4462
05:39:09,230 --> 05:39:13,330
slide into government, but I serve in my community planning group to learn and purchase state.

4463
05:39:13,710 --> 05:39:17,910
Supervisor Anderson for his efforts to increase public access and voicemail sports work,

4464
05:39:18,370 --> 05:39:21,570
respects his record of advocating for our communities in a non-partisan way,

4465
05:39:21,910 --> 05:39:25,930
and I support his efforts here to apply a default standard of transparency and disclosure among

4466
05:39:25,930 --> 05:39:30,050
subcommittees. Anderson, the Concerned Regarding Public Disclosure and the Context of the

4467
05:39:30,050 --> 05:39:34,650
Doodinal Justice Committee, who's worked at has an empty support. I also see no conflict between

4468
05:39:34,650 --> 05:39:38,390
this proposal and the needs for special protections and confidentiality, which should be the

4469
05:39:38,390 --> 05:39:41,490
an option, not that it will. It's proposal allows for those exceptions.

4470
05:39:41,910 --> 05:39:44,190
Public trust and government as that all-time low.

4471
05:39:44,430 --> 05:39:47,450
Government earns public trust by operating the open whenever possible.

4472
05:39:47,990 --> 05:39:50,130
It's four of its servants itself and the public by

4473
05:39:50,130 --> 05:39:52,170
leaning into every opportunity to transparency.

4474
05:39:52,810 --> 05:39:54,310
The noblest motive is a public good.

4475
05:39:54,370 --> 05:39:55,250
Thank you all.

4476
05:39:56,630 --> 05:39:58,750
Thank you. Well, here from the next caller.

4477
05:40:08,390 --> 05:40:11,170
Maybe I just assumed you kicked me out yesterday, Monica.

4478
05:40:12,050 --> 05:40:13,390
Because you said you did.

4479
05:40:13,390 --> 05:40:19,150
Now, transparency, we all know that three of them are not going to go ahead and go for transparency

4480
05:40:19,150 --> 05:40:23,030
because I already got a promise from Tara Lough from Lima that she was going to go and

4481
05:40:23,030 --> 05:40:29,630
look into my claims of organized fraud through the same organization that she wants to

4482
05:40:29,630 --> 05:40:31,490
create these ad hoc committee.

4483
05:40:32,070 --> 05:40:39,770
It much reminds me of the election fraud that took place back in 1982 where over 100,000

4484
05:40:39,770 --> 05:40:45,430
ballots were stolen basically by these committees using the registration process.

4485
05:40:45,990 --> 05:40:51,790
I definitely understand that the NGOs are helping out the homeless people withdrawing

4486
05:40:51,790 --> 05:40:54,790
on and going to the NGOs for the homeless people.

4487
05:40:55,250 --> 05:41:02,930
So I am assuming because of 2015 we allowed non-citizens to get driver's license.

4488
05:41:03,610 --> 05:41:04,970
They are feeling their vote.

4489
05:41:05,410 --> 05:41:06,430
They are voting for them.

4490
05:41:06,430 --> 05:41:10,450
They are going to keep these corrupt politicians in place.

4491
05:41:10,630 --> 05:41:12,310
I'm glad that.

4492
05:41:13,570 --> 05:41:15,190
Well, here from the next caller.

4493
05:41:23,240 --> 05:41:24,020
I'm Deborah Gonzalez.

4494
05:41:24,440 --> 05:41:29,500
I'm from the backcountry in Bolivar and I am completely in support of the Reviser Anderson

4495
05:41:32,560 --> 05:41:33,240
for 13.

4496
05:41:35,510 --> 05:41:40,270
Honestly, this would help our backcountry have to be in more communication.

4497
05:41:41,870 --> 05:41:48,110
We lose out on a lot of information and it hurts us significantly.

4498
05:41:49,670 --> 05:41:53,830
I think trust building is extremely important right now.

4499
05:41:54,010 --> 05:41:59,270
We have a judge going on where we don't particularly trust our local,

4500
05:42:00,770 --> 05:42:02,790
because it's really speaking our behalf.

4501
05:42:03,470 --> 05:42:09,950
And as stepping forward, I think passing this which help us all gain a lot more trust.

4502
05:42:11,110 --> 05:42:12,950
So I am completely in support of this.

4503
05:42:13,690 --> 05:42:18,190
I represent the background for community alliance for responsible development.

4504
05:42:19,190 --> 05:42:19,670
And thank you.

4505
05:42:19,770 --> 05:42:23,130
And whoever those crazy people were, they were cursing me saying all those things.

4506
05:42:23,390 --> 05:42:25,190
This is my first time on here.

4507
05:42:25,410 --> 05:42:27,050
And as of one.

4508
05:42:27,610 --> 05:42:28,570
Thank you.

4509
05:42:28,590 --> 05:42:29,770
Well, now I'm here from the final color.

4510
05:42:36,680 --> 05:42:37,740
Hi, Natalie Rush.

4511
05:42:37,740 --> 05:42:45,560
here. I know that this failed one full ready at a Thai vote two weeks ago. It asked

4512
05:42:45,560 --> 05:42:50,400
ad hoc, sub-timini's, post-identism, public records, the same transparency, regular board

4513
05:42:50,400 --> 05:42:54,780
meetings, already followed. But I want to say something that the word professional is used

4514
05:42:54,780 --> 05:43:00,300
to decide who's allowed to be heard. And once I tried to be speaking on Miss Evelyn Lopez's behalf,

4515
05:43:00,300 --> 05:43:10,460
And was denied by the same professionals stating that I wasn't professional in most part of the depression.

4516
05:43:11,080 --> 05:43:21,660
It seems that transparency and the word professional is language that's used to also filter out people that are trusted by said people.

4517
05:43:22,800 --> 05:43:30,700
So, when we use this language, I don't know, transparency and professional, I don't know if this is going to change anything.

4518
05:43:30,940 --> 05:43:31,660
Thank you.

4519
05:43:33,860 --> 05:43:33,980
Thank you.

4520
05:43:34,360 --> 05:43:36,960
And Chair Lawson, Riemann, I think it was public comment on this item.

4521
05:43:39,000 --> 05:43:39,160
Okay.

4522
05:43:39,200 --> 05:43:39,920
Thank you very much.

4523
05:43:40,900 --> 05:43:41,280
Vice Chair.

4524
05:43:42,320 --> 05:43:43,520
Thank you very much.

4525
05:43:43,720 --> 05:43:44,940
Thank you, supervisor Anderson.

4526
05:43:46,060 --> 05:43:49,840
I know that we've been discussing this for some months now.

4527
05:43:49,840 --> 05:43:55,960
You know from my earlier comments at board meetings on May the 19th and also on June 9th

4528
05:43:55,960 --> 05:44:00,920
that I cannot support your proposed policy as it is currently drafted.

4529
05:44:00,920 --> 05:44:04,300
I know that you have an amendment and I'll get to that in a minute.

4530
05:44:05,020 --> 05:44:10,140
But I just want to go through a couple of things I think that you have said here today and

4531
05:44:10,140 --> 05:44:13,220
that have come out on some of your communications.

4532
05:44:14,240 --> 05:44:18,680
At the juvenile justice at Hawke's subcommittee meetings, it is very important that supervisor

4533
05:44:18,680 --> 05:44:24,180
our area and I are able to provide a safe environment for parents to tell us what is happening

4534
05:44:24,180 --> 05:44:30,380
to their children who are detained and in a vulnerable situation. It is also very important

4535
05:44:30,380 --> 05:44:35,640
that those who lived experience feel safe to come forward at these meetings and tell us how we

4536
05:44:35,640 --> 05:44:41,400
could improve our county systems and processes. And I will also say I have spoken to people time

4537
05:44:41,400 --> 05:44:46,380
after time who refuse to come to the county because they feel bullied when they come in here.

4538
05:44:47,400 --> 05:44:57,500
Your proposed one-size-fits-all policy will not allow me to provide that kind of safe environment and will not allow me to do the work that I've been elected to do.

4539
05:44:57,740 --> 05:44:59,980
Your proposed policy will result in uninsistness.

4540
05:45:00,000 --> 05:45:28,640
And I hope that you can understand that. You spoke today, and it came out in one of your alerts that these populations that we are talking about are already protected through government code section 549-533, as it bars local agencies from disclosing identifying information about minors at public meetings and other state and federal laws, further protect confidentiality records.

4541
05:45:29,600 --> 05:45:34,680
The actual text of that government code has not been shared to let me share it now.

4542
05:45:35,200 --> 05:45:42,780
A member of the public shall not be required as a condition to attendance at a meeting of a legislative body or local agency

4543
05:45:42,780 --> 05:45:53,720
to register his or her name to provide other information to complete a questionnaire or otherwise to fulfill any condition precedent to his or her attendance.

4544
05:45:53,720 --> 05:46:02,160
If an attendance list register questionnaire or other similar document is posted at or near the

4545
05:46:02,160 --> 05:46:06,680
entrance of the room where the meeting is to be held or it's circulated to the person's

4546
05:46:06,680 --> 05:46:12,180
present during the meeting, it shall state clearly that the signing, registering, or completion

4547
05:46:12,180 --> 05:46:17,920
of the document is voluntary and that all persons may attend the meeting regardless of whether

4548
05:46:17,920 --> 05:46:24,200
person signs, registers, or completes the document. Got that. Okay. But as you can see, the

4549
05:46:24,200 --> 05:46:29,000
plain text of the California government section that you reference states that a member of

4550
05:46:29,000 --> 05:46:33,360
the public shall not be required to register their name as a condition to attend the meeting

4551
05:46:33,360 --> 05:46:39,740
of a legislative body of a local agency. But your policy requiring all meetings to be streamed

4552
05:46:39,740 --> 05:46:45,300
live, recorded, and posted online, and public comments submitted to the subcommittee during

4553
05:46:45,300 --> 05:46:51,500
meeting shall be recorded, maintained, and made available to the public online will still identify

4554
05:46:51,500 --> 05:46:55,080
parents and other people who speak up at the meeting.

4555
05:46:56,220 --> 05:47:00,360
If you are I showed up at the meeting and we didn't sign in, there would be enough people

4556
05:47:00,360 --> 05:47:02,020
that would know who we are.

4557
05:47:02,340 --> 05:47:08,500
So in effect, it's not solving for the problem that we have discussed here in these meetings,

4558
05:47:08,500 --> 05:47:10,540
these three meetings or so.

4559
05:47:10,540 --> 05:47:15,820
This is precisely why, on May 19th, I did vote for option four,

4560
05:47:16,180 --> 05:47:19,880
which would give the board flexibility to tailor, transparency requirements,

4561
05:47:20,400 --> 05:47:25,320
and in case by case basis, each time an ad hoc subcommittee is created.

4562
05:47:26,340 --> 05:47:30,520
At that time, you said, it does nothing, I do disagree with that,

4563
05:47:30,560 --> 05:47:35,280
but I understand why this is important, why you are bringing this forward,

4564
05:47:36,040 --> 05:47:39,600
so I still, the language that you did present,

4565
05:47:39,600 --> 05:47:44,640
I think that that still presents problems, right, for our parents who want to come and speak,

4566
05:47:44,820 --> 05:47:48,960
because technically they're not protected by the government code or the Brown Act.

4567
05:47:49,880 --> 05:47:52,740
It's simply a way for them to feel safe.

4568
05:47:52,940 --> 05:48:04,740
But if you were to go back to your amendments into the policy A75 to the section B that it is the policy of the Board

4569
05:48:04,740 --> 05:48:13,340
supervisors that its ad hoc subcommittees will comply with the following requirements in order to promote additional transparency and public participation.

4570
05:48:14,040 --> 05:48:17,820
Or alternatively require that the ad hoc subcommittee comply with the Brown Act.

4571
05:48:18,360 --> 05:48:28,300
I would like to add the following requirements will not apply to ad hoc subcommittees that are established to address sensitive subjects, including those related to juveniles.

4572
05:48:28,300 --> 05:48:34,300
So that is my proposal before you said I know there's a motion in a second, but

4573
05:48:35,140 --> 05:48:38,760
Would ask it be friendly before I have to do substitute motion

4574
05:48:41,840 --> 05:48:48,580
Hampshire, I do want to jump in. Well, you had your name up next. So you already did

4575
05:48:48,580 --> 05:48:50,400
All right

4576
05:48:50,400 --> 05:48:52,140
I appreciate that

4577
05:48:52,140 --> 05:48:59,720
You do bring up option for so for the record option for was take no action and do not establish a policy at

4578
05:48:59,740 --> 05:49:05,840
this time. Determined transparency requirements on case-by-case basis, each time in A&H

4579
05:49:05,840 --> 05:49:11,300
committee, subcommittee is created. So I get it, but that's do nothing. That was the current.

4580
05:49:11,540 --> 05:49:12,460
It was no change.

4581
05:49:14,680 --> 05:49:21,060
So in as far as the parents, I get the parents. But the point I brought

4582
05:49:21,060 --> 05:49:28,420
before was you've had experts come in and there's no place to see what experts say. So while

4583
05:49:28,420 --> 05:49:31,100
We want to protect kids and perhaps we want to protect parents.

4584
05:49:33,400 --> 05:49:37,580
Why would we protect any of the organizations that I have stated?

4585
05:49:37,860 --> 05:49:43,800
Now, I am going to know if they've come spoke other than probation, because you've said

4586
05:49:43,800 --> 05:49:45,500
in the last mean probation spoke.

4587
05:49:46,240 --> 05:49:51,780
What is it that probation saying that the public can't have access to and why are they

4588
05:49:51,780 --> 05:49:54,680
shy to say something public when it comes to policy?

4589
05:49:54,680 --> 05:50:03,020
See, the issue I have, as well, we have one group, that's an excuse for everyone.

4590
05:50:03,620 --> 05:50:04,560
It shouldn't be an excuse.

4591
05:50:05,160 --> 05:50:11,600
Look, I know that we both agree that the only people that like to govern in secrecy

4592
05:50:11,600 --> 05:50:17,960
are dictators in royalty, but I believe that there has to be a policy that you and I can

4593
05:50:17,960 --> 05:50:25,940
agree on, and I want you to help in it that is a cart-blank that once I say, this is

4594
05:50:25,940 --> 05:50:33,460
juvenile, nobody has to accommodate anything. That's crazy. Having minutes coming back

4595
05:50:33,460 --> 05:50:43,520
and saying, this is the subject matter, and then if there's any expertise given or county staff

4596
05:50:43,520 --> 05:50:46,880
Stuff that should be public people should have access to it

4597
05:50:47,580 --> 05:50:55,420
So I'm trying to figure out how do we get there because I'm my job when we had youth in parents come to testify before the legislature

4598
05:50:55,420 --> 05:51:01,640
They didn't identify themselves and they weren't on camera and in a couple of instances

4599
05:51:01,640 --> 05:51:10,020
They actually disguise the voice because they're high profile. So I get that and I'm willing to do all those things

4600
05:51:10,020 --> 05:51:17,020
But the notion that that's cart block for everything to be in secret, that makes no sense to me.

4601
05:51:18,540 --> 05:51:19,300
I'm okay.

4602
05:51:19,920 --> 05:51:25,660
Can I just want to say I appreciate that everyone seems very committed to transparency.

4603
05:51:26,780 --> 05:51:30,000
I think that's really valuable and I know.

4604
05:51:30,220 --> 05:51:37,420
I have been gone for four weeks and I missed that a lot of the debate that you're talking about.

4605
05:51:37,420 --> 05:51:46,940
vice chair, I think part of my concern is that sometimes a one-size-fits-all solution means

4606
05:51:46,940 --> 05:51:53,040
that is both over-inclusive and under-inclusive and doesn't necessarily adequately address

4607
05:51:53,040 --> 05:51:55,140
the core of any particular challenge.

4608
05:51:55,620 --> 05:51:59,740
I'd love to hear from Supervisor Geary, but I am deeply concerned about the issues of vice

4609
05:51:59,740 --> 05:52:00,260
chair raises.

4610
05:52:00,900 --> 05:52:07,080
I wonder if there would be a path just putting it out there to ask our vice chair and

4611
05:52:07,080 --> 05:52:07,360
to the Brazilian.

4612
05:52:08,180 --> 05:52:12,160
I understand, to form a subcommittee on a transparency subcommittee, and you too can

4613
05:52:12,160 --> 05:52:13,680
come up with a recommendation.

4614
05:52:14,480 --> 05:52:16,080
I don't think that.

4615
05:52:16,820 --> 05:52:17,960
I don't think that.

4616
05:52:18,220 --> 05:52:20,960
I don't think that.

4617
05:52:20,960 --> 05:52:25,040
Just for, again, I think that this this language is helpful.

4618
05:52:25,380 --> 05:52:31,100
It includes everything you brought forward these last two times and adds this sentence to it.

4619
05:52:31,460 --> 05:52:35,940
And so I am trying to get there with you in your words as well.

4620
05:52:35,940 --> 05:52:37,240
I'm trying to get there.

4621
05:52:37,300 --> 05:52:41,840
I think that this is this is sufficient and how does that work?

4622
05:52:41,840 --> 05:52:46,100
I would hope that you would change your motion to include it.

4623
05:52:46,280 --> 05:52:53,520
If not, I will do a substitute motion because it's what you've brought forward the last three times.

4624
05:52:54,380 --> 05:53:02,200
But it includes this additional language around the sensitive subjects, including those related to juveniles.

4625
05:53:02,200 --> 05:53:11,540
What you've brought forward previously does not cover the population that I want to try to cover and any other thing that that may come up.

4626
05:53:13,720 --> 05:53:17,680
I have a plum was up, but if I could just.

4627
05:53:17,760 --> 05:53:18,060
Go ahead.

4628
05:53:18,260 --> 05:53:18,840
Speak to it.

4629
05:53:19,320 --> 05:53:27,200
So the issue I have is your the language you proposed has I'm reading it or seeing it hearing it.

4630
05:53:27,200 --> 05:53:34,600
It allows cover not to have to say the entire committee act can be silent.

4631
05:53:35,360 --> 05:53:41,680
No word is it provide that when chief of probation comes and speaks or any other

4632
05:53:41,680 --> 05:53:44,900
extracurricular speaks that their testimony has to be available.

4633
05:53:45,960 --> 05:53:48,360
It just says, hey, which is carte blanche.

4634
05:53:49,440 --> 05:53:55,080
So can we narrow it so that it is, now, I want to point out two quick things.

4635
05:53:55,080 --> 05:53:57,980
I think there are three or four board items today.

4636
05:53:58,220 --> 05:54:00,180
They were asking for exceptions to the rules.

4637
05:54:01,280 --> 05:54:03,720
When you propose the committee in the beginning,

4638
05:54:04,020 --> 05:54:05,900
you can always make the case.

4639
05:54:06,920 --> 05:54:11,240
This is special and we want a special rule for the subcommittee at that time.

4640
05:54:11,840 --> 05:54:13,160
Because I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do.

4641
05:54:13,320 --> 05:54:15,960
Every committee you bring forward, moving forward,

4642
05:54:16,280 --> 05:54:19,060
I'm going to insist on the transparency you're denying me today.

4643
05:54:19,800 --> 05:54:28,760
So, instead of fighting each and every time, most committees should be 100% transparent, no matter what.

4644
05:54:29,160 --> 05:54:31,520
This is an exception to the rule, not the rule.

4645
05:54:32,080 --> 05:54:37,740
But still, even after the last board meeting, there's no, do we have minutes?

4646
05:54:37,900 --> 05:54:42,500
Do we have any kind of for the juvenile justice? Where is all that stuff? Where is it located?

4647
05:54:42,620 --> 05:54:44,280
That's what I wanted to get to.

4648
05:54:44,280 --> 05:54:59,340
Thank you very much, and I failed to mention this last time, but just for the record, every single meeting that Juvenile Justice at Hock Committee has had has produced minutes that have been distributed to all of your offices.

4649
05:54:59,820 --> 05:55:08,440
So there is transparency in that regard. Now, I think that I'm also open and wanting to get to, yes.

4650
05:55:09,220 --> 05:55:17,380
I've heard you mention at least five times, Chief Nelson, and in a make sense, right?

4651
05:55:17,800 --> 05:55:22,540
If she, in this case, she's a county employee.

4652
05:55:22,720 --> 05:55:25,500
I mean, there's nothing out of the ordinary that she presented.

4653
05:55:25,500 --> 05:55:26,740
It was very factual.

4654
05:55:28,420 --> 05:55:37,880
Perhaps we can arrive to yes and make an exception for or include a written statement for the record

4655
05:55:37,880 --> 05:55:42,100
if there were a county staff participating in the subcommittee.

4656
05:55:42,220 --> 05:55:47,260
Something like that, if that's helpful, I think that that could be a possibility.

4657
05:55:48,780 --> 05:55:53,840
Well, I really appreciate it, and I appreciate the spirit.

4658
05:55:54,060 --> 05:56:02,580
What you're doing it, the what my thought is is if it has to do with a parent or a child's testimony,

4659
05:56:03,320 --> 05:56:03,560
absolutely.

4660
05:56:04,920 --> 05:56:05,780
Everyone else?

4661
05:56:05,780 --> 05:56:16,840
And for the record, all the discussions that we've had in these sessions have been recorded and there's been minutes produced that have been distributed.

4662
05:56:16,860 --> 05:56:20,000
Are there any websites that are in place with the public to go?

4663
05:56:22,460 --> 05:56:23,960
I don't think so.

4664
05:56:24,720 --> 05:56:25,780
That's my point.

4665
05:56:25,960 --> 05:56:29,460
Well, because it's not the same as your mic subcommittee.

4666
05:56:29,580 --> 05:56:35,000
It's not the same as the other committee that I mean it's a very unique case.

4667
05:56:35,000 --> 05:56:41,940
this particular sensitive topics of matters that we're discussing in this particular one is going to be different.

4668
05:56:41,940 --> 05:56:48,960
We're not just going to, you know, put up video of testimony of children under the age of 18 or 18.

4669
05:56:49,140 --> 05:56:51,060
Can we, can we, can we pause?

4670
05:56:51,500 --> 05:56:54,120
I just, I want, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to keep order.

4671
05:56:54,340 --> 05:56:58,340
I appreciate the free flowing conversation to try to reach some kind of agreement.

4672
05:56:58,960 --> 05:57:00,320
But the vice chair has her hand up.

4673
05:57:00,320 --> 05:57:09,820
So I would, it sounds like that you're not amenable to this.

4674
05:57:10,440 --> 05:57:13,320
No, I didn't turn it for him, because it gives you carte block.

4675
05:57:13,960 --> 05:57:16,420
I need, I want to hear what the experts have to say.

4676
05:57:16,720 --> 05:57:19,620
I want, I think the public deserves to know what the experts are saying.

4677
05:57:20,060 --> 05:57:21,600
We do, we do that.

4678
05:57:22,100 --> 05:57:22,560
We do that.

4679
05:57:22,700 --> 05:57:24,820
And there's been so much misinformation.

4680
05:57:24,880 --> 05:57:26,700
I'm not going to go through everything.

4681
05:57:27,180 --> 05:57:33,080
really, I'm not because of, you know, the people that have spoken. Some of the people

4682
05:57:33,080 --> 05:57:37,980
that speak, doesn't matter what we do up here. They have preconceived notions about who

4683
05:57:37,980 --> 05:57:44,840
we are. We've been called slets. We've been referred to as Queen's in a way that is really

4684
05:57:44,840 --> 05:57:48,880
derogatory. Reminds me of back in the 90s when they were trying to say, well fair, Queen,

4685
05:57:48,980 --> 05:57:54,200
and all that. So, you know, that is what it is. I don't really care. It is what it is. I

4686
05:57:54,200 --> 05:58:02,360
I think that because this is the policy and the language you brought forward, and it adds one sentence, I would like to do a substitute motion.

4687
05:58:05,160 --> 05:58:07,580
Okay, we have a substitute motion on the second.

4688
05:58:07,820 --> 05:58:11,640
Okay, so I just to kind of clarify where we're at procedurally.

4689
05:58:11,980 --> 05:58:14,680
We have a motion on the floor by Supervisor Desmond.

4690
05:58:14,820 --> 05:58:16,940
I mean, Supervisor Anderson's again by Supervisor Desmond.

4691
05:58:17,240 --> 05:58:21,020
But then there's a substitute motion by Supervisor Montgomery Step.

4692
05:58:22,760 --> 05:58:36,260
So we have to vote first on the substitute motion, if that passes, then this item passes in the form proposed by the vice chair of that substitute motion fails.

4693
05:58:36,480 --> 05:58:41,900
We go on to consider, to understand the initial motion.

4694
05:58:41,900 --> 05:58:49,980
So, again, we'll first take a vote on and to approve to just be clear a vote to approve

4695
05:58:49,980 --> 05:58:54,660
the item continued from January 9th, adopted policy to require transparency and accountability

4696
05:58:54,660 --> 05:59:02,060
for all sport of supervisors and ad hoc subcommittees as amended with the language currently on the screen

4697
05:59:02,060 --> 05:59:03,940
from Vice Chairman Montgomery's step.

4698
05:59:04,280 --> 05:59:04,740
Any questions?

4699
05:59:05,740 --> 05:59:05,880
Okay.

4700
05:59:07,080 --> 05:59:07,720
Please vote?

4701
05:59:07,720 --> 05:59:11,900
I don't know. I have my, uh, Jim Hien says, uh, I think.

4702
05:59:11,900 --> 05:59:13,820
Oh, uh, post-polleges. I said any questions.

4703
05:59:14,040 --> 05:59:15,120
I didn't see that. Sorry. Go ahead.

4704
05:59:15,360 --> 05:59:15,900
Super, sir, Desmond.

4705
05:59:16,360 --> 05:59:22,140
Okay. Yeah. Um, so I guess I'm a little bit hung up on, I, I, I, I, I think the step,

4706
05:59:22,260 --> 05:59:24,120
that sub-tube motion is a step of the right direction.

4707
05:59:24,800 --> 05:59:28,220
It's, maybe not, for filling is, is, uh, as, as,

4708
05:59:28,220 --> 05:59:34,040
supervisor and some ones, but I'm looking at, I guess I'm a little squishy on sensitive subjects.

4709
05:59:34,580 --> 05:59:40,660
So, without a definition, I don't know, is finance, committee is sensitive subjects,

4710
05:59:42,800 --> 05:59:48,880
are they a personal subject or I just want to.

4711
05:59:48,880 --> 05:59:55,040
I'm going to turn the floor to, those are questions I think for the maker of the motion, so I'll turn that to the vice chair.

4712
05:59:55,040 --> 05:59:59,160
I'll just generally for finance, no.

4713
06:00:02,640 --> 06:00:29,560
I think that brings, it just gives us the latitude that we need, because again, like I said, in the last meeting, I really did not understand the gravity of a fear of retaliation that some of these parents had. I did not understand it. If I had made rules for an ad hoc, so committee prior to that, I would not have considered that, because I didn't understand it.

4714
06:00:29,560 --> 06:00:34,920
So all I'm trying to do is leave us a room to move appropriately

4715
06:00:34,920 --> 06:00:39,240
without holding up a process so we can make decisions in a timely manner.

4716
06:00:39,820 --> 06:00:40,780
That's it.

4717
06:00:41,080 --> 06:00:43,140
I'd be, I'm still asking questions.

4718
06:00:44,820 --> 06:00:49,200
Would you be a member to address personal, sensitive subjects

4719
06:00:49,840 --> 06:00:51,780
that would narrow it a little bit?

4720
06:00:53,100 --> 06:00:53,600
I don't.

4721
06:00:53,600 --> 06:00:58,780
I wouldn't, that is even more subjective, I think.

4722
06:00:59,840 --> 06:01:04,580
And so I wouldn't want to include that.

4723
06:01:04,920 --> 06:01:08,300
Yeah, that's narrowing it to me, but okay.

4724
06:01:08,600 --> 06:01:08,760
Okay.

4725
06:01:09,720 --> 06:01:10,780
Thank you.

4726
06:01:10,800 --> 06:01:11,800
I see what I was interested in.

4727
06:01:14,230 --> 06:01:18,510
I'm going to support this because it's a step in the right direction,

4728
06:01:19,310 --> 06:01:21,310
but I think it's way too broad.

4729
06:01:21,310 --> 06:01:44,450
And I hope that at every meeting you give us an update on the subcommittee because not hearing what experts say, I get a carve out for parents and a carve out for juveniles, but you can't have NGOs experts and I don't even know who's gone before the committee.

4730
06:01:45,910 --> 06:01:51,210
And I should know, the public should know, and this doesn't provide for that.

4731
06:01:51,610 --> 06:01:58,190
However, this is a baby step in the right direction, and I'm always for the right direction.

4732
06:01:59,930 --> 06:02:00,090
Okay.

4733
06:02:00,410 --> 06:02:01,670
But that's not a second.

4734
06:02:02,690 --> 06:02:03,290
Don't worry.

4735
06:02:03,310 --> 06:02:07,250
You already have a second from Chair Perthema, Gary.

4736
06:02:07,850 --> 06:02:09,170
So thank you, Supervisor Anderson.

4737
06:02:09,570 --> 06:02:13,430
Does anyone know how many comments before we vote on the Vice Chair's substitute motion?

4738
06:02:14,940 --> 06:02:17,080
Okay, please vote.

4739
06:02:20,940 --> 06:02:24,200
Chair, Lawson, remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present

4740
06:02:24,200 --> 06:02:25,360
at 10 voting aye.

4741
06:02:25,680 --> 06:02:26,160
Okay.

4742
06:02:26,760 --> 06:02:27,760
Thank you very much.

4743
06:02:28,300 --> 06:02:33,920
So now we are moving on, we're actually going to jump to item 15 and then go back to item

4744
06:02:33,920 --> 06:02:34,320
14.

4745
06:02:35,120 --> 06:02:40,520
So item 15, this is an item that I brought forward, which is designated in the waterfront park as

4746
06:02:40,520 --> 06:02:46,600
the permanent home for the San Diego Regional Firefighter Memorial and Waveboard Policy A72.

4747
06:02:47,860 --> 06:02:51,640
If we have any public comment, we will start with that.

4748
06:02:51,640 --> 06:02:52,380
Go ahead, Andrew.

4749
06:02:52,780 --> 06:02:53,160
All right.

4750
06:02:53,480 --> 06:02:54,460
Thank you, Chair Lawson Ramer.

4751
06:02:54,640 --> 06:02:56,280
We have nine requests to speak on this item.

4752
06:02:56,680 --> 06:02:59,320
Two in person and seven requesting to speak by phone.

4753
06:02:59,620 --> 06:03:01,300
Also note that we received two e-comments.

4754
06:03:01,480 --> 06:03:03,160
One in support and one in neutral.

4755
06:03:03,760 --> 06:03:06,720
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 15, my phone.

4756
06:03:06,920 --> 06:03:10,520
Please dial in at the conference line using the instructions that we're provided to you.

4757
06:03:10,800 --> 06:03:11,920
We'll begin with the in person speakers.

4758
06:03:11,920 --> 06:03:14,920
like to bite four to ledge of the Audra and Marco Espinoza.

4759
06:03:15,900 --> 06:03:17,680
You'll have two minutes to address the board.

4760
06:03:23,080 --> 06:03:23,960
No, we're doing it.

4761
06:03:23,960 --> 06:03:24,820
We're coming back.

4762
06:03:26,680 --> 06:03:27,060
It's last.

4763
06:03:28,080 --> 06:03:29,140
Um, how rude.

4764
06:03:30,180 --> 06:03:32,340
This is, you're cutting into my time.

4765
06:03:32,680 --> 06:03:32,980
You know what I mean?

4766
06:03:32,980 --> 06:03:34,060
You guys don't like it.

4767
06:03:34,160 --> 06:03:34,340
You're right.

4768
06:03:34,460 --> 06:03:37,420
I mean, just to be clear, your time can start till you start at speaking.

4769
06:03:37,640 --> 06:03:38,240
I know, Tara.

4770
06:03:39,060 --> 06:03:39,820
Thank you.

4771
06:03:40,180 --> 06:03:43,860
Um, just giving you guys shit because that's the whole point.

4772
06:03:44,700 --> 06:03:48,080
Um, and Jim and Joel, why do you guys keep giving your balls to the

4773
06:03:48,080 --> 06:03:49,680
these Jezebelts, I don't understand.

4774
06:03:50,020 --> 06:03:53,200
It's like nobody has a backbone to just stand up and say,

4775
06:03:54,160 --> 06:03:56,800
no, you just cave.

4776
06:03:56,980 --> 06:03:58,880
And it's interesting that we have two minutes

4777
06:03:58,880 --> 06:03:59,960
to talk about this.

4778
06:03:59,960 --> 06:04:02,280
I'm sure I'll have two minutes to talk about the next item.

4779
06:04:02,300 --> 06:04:04,940
And then when we're talking about $9.1 billion,

4780
06:04:05,400 --> 06:04:07,780
it's like, we're gonna limit that for sure,

4781
06:04:07,960 --> 06:04:10,180
so that you have to talk about six different things

4782
06:04:10,180 --> 06:04:12,040
and you get 10 seconds each.

4783
06:04:12,360 --> 06:04:12,980
So nice.

4784
06:04:13,100 --> 06:04:16,620
So transparent, so countable, and it's like,

4785
06:04:16,620 --> 06:04:22,760
mean, you guys virtue signal with these type of items, as though, you know, you just do

4786
06:04:22,760 --> 06:04:24,440
all these great things.

4787
06:04:25,120 --> 06:04:30,740
But you guys talking about hiding what's going on, what children is extremely egregious.

4788
06:04:31,500 --> 06:04:35,640
Because you sit here and you're using them, you're going to fill me, go ahead, and you can

4789
06:04:35,640 --> 06:04:36,800
put on your social media.

4790
06:04:36,880 --> 06:04:39,300
I don't really care because I'm doing the same to you.

4791
06:04:39,560 --> 06:04:45,100
So what it is about transparency and accountability, but you're using children, and that's

4792
06:04:45,100 --> 06:04:51,440
so nefarious, because it should be transparent what happens, the things that you guys do.

4793
06:04:51,980 --> 06:04:56,840
And when it is, you silence it, and that is what is so disgusting, you will have parents

4794
06:04:56,840 --> 06:04:59,860
come in here, and ask you for help.

4795
06:05:01,040 --> 06:05:03,120
And you'll tell them that you will, Monica, right?

4796
06:05:03,120 --> 06:05:07,420
And then you just say, listen to the agency where the agency then says your children are

4797
06:05:07,940 --> 06:05:08,420
adoptable.

4798
06:05:09,300 --> 06:05:11,660
Of course, you don't want people to know that.

4799
06:05:12,300 --> 06:05:18,600
Because it is detrimental to children that things that you guys engage in, it's a fucking

4800
06:05:18,600 --> 06:05:19,160
shame.

4801
06:05:20,640 --> 06:05:24,360
And then you sit up here and you're like, don't hurt my feelings with calling us a slot.

4802
06:05:25,620 --> 06:05:27,180
God forbid, you guys are up there.

4803
06:05:27,220 --> 06:05:30,920
That's why you got in that position if you don't have the backbone to deal with it, then

4804
06:05:30,920 --> 06:05:32,040
there's the fucking door.

4805
06:05:37,210 --> 06:05:38,710
I don't call for Mark Ospinosa.

4806
06:05:40,430 --> 06:05:43,530
One out here from the individuals that requested to speak by phone, we'll start with our

4807
06:05:43,530 --> 06:05:44,130
first caller.

4808
06:05:44,130 --> 06:05:45,150
All

4809
06:05:54,080 --> 06:05:54,900
the bulls,

4810
06:05:58,510 --> 06:06:03,370
I think, laughing said over the plastic chains.

4811
06:06:03,750 --> 06:06:10,910
Anyway, it seems to me that since our brave firefighters spend a lot of time putting

4812
06:06:10,910 --> 06:06:19,390
out the big fires in East County, the memorial should be at the more Easterly site.

4813
06:06:20,370 --> 06:06:32,510
So, you know, some people who actually suffered damage and there's a bit of a, maybe even there should be two memorials.

4814
06:06:32,790 --> 06:06:46,830
Maybe one that waterfront park and one that is candy or arch is over the freeway, maybe instead of a tiny green sign naming it for a fallen firefighter,

4815
06:06:46,830 --> 06:06:49,070
that no one sees one path,

4816
06:06:49,150 --> 06:06:52,010
thinking about 60 miles an hour,

4817
06:06:52,430 --> 06:06:54,770
and that they're invented more easily

4818
06:06:54,770 --> 06:06:57,550
sight is that it would live

4819
06:06:57,550 --> 06:07:00,670
leave more space for kids play.

4820
06:07:01,330 --> 06:07:04,550
Pick nicks are gathering at the waterfront park

4821
06:07:04,550 --> 06:07:07,510
itself, which is what it's there for.

4822
06:07:07,790 --> 06:07:11,070
Oh, I'd probably send a mention to kids

4823
06:07:11,630 --> 06:07:16,530
there are kind of pictures from what I hear about

4824
06:07:16,530 --> 06:07:36,350
What the board does, you know, turn your family's adopting them on the Asian Bay and all that crap, and I mean, you don't treat them right anyway, so

4825
06:07:41,150 --> 06:07:50,470
yeah, I think waterfront part by itself is not the best place. I'm a memorial. Thanks.

4826
06:07:50,470 --> 06:07:54,280
Can you take out speaker lover?

4827
06:08:06,410 --> 06:08:07,690
I'm going to follow here.

4828
06:08:08,550 --> 06:08:19,010
So yeah, I too am all for a memorial going up for firefighters, but just based on I'm

4829
06:08:19,010 --> 06:08:26,630
which is going to cost and I mean wouldn't it be awesome if it was like in lieu of just

4830
06:08:26,630 --> 06:08:33,470
a memorial just honoring their families who are left behind and giving them the money that

4831
06:08:33,470 --> 06:08:38,410
it's going to take to install this. I mean, I don't even know where the money's coming from,

4832
06:08:38,810 --> 06:08:50,510
but what am I saying? It comes from us. Also, yeah, I believe that, you know, these meetings

4833
06:08:50,510 --> 06:09:01,630
are becoming just, it's just more and more apparent that your jobs up there are about keeping

4834
06:09:01,630 --> 06:09:08,590
the people divided and you are doing so awesome on it and I just, you know, I not that I like

4835
06:09:08,590 --> 06:09:14,310
to stay tuned but I have to be paying attention that way others know the truth of what's really

4836
06:09:14,310 --> 06:09:23,130
going on and you guys just get so upset about your character being a slander. I mean, you create,

4837
06:09:23,210 --> 06:09:28,470
I mean, honestly, you don't like to be called Queens, Monica, then don't behave like one.

4838
06:09:31,050 --> 06:09:31,610
It's

4839
06:09:32,230 --> 06:09:37,430
And that's what's so, that is what's so rules for me, not for me.

4840
06:09:37,870 --> 06:09:39,770
And hold on to that freedom with speech, Audra.

4841
06:09:40,030 --> 06:09:42,570
Because you are your amazing girl.

4842
06:09:43,070 --> 06:09:44,290
Love you so much.

4843
06:09:48,600 --> 06:09:48,760
Thank you.

4844
06:09:48,940 --> 06:09:49,660
Here from the next caller.

4845
06:09:57,070 --> 06:09:57,490
It's true.

4846
06:09:57,730 --> 06:10:00,110
Ready to take a break with two minutes.

4847
06:10:00,350 --> 06:10:01,450
You know, it's almost like a break.

4848
06:10:01,550 --> 06:10:03,810
I have to speak for 60 seconds over and over and over again.

4849
06:10:04,070 --> 06:10:05,470
But you guys would know about that, right?

4850
06:10:06,130 --> 06:10:06,730
You just pull.

4851
06:10:06,810 --> 06:10:07,510
I just want to refuel.

4852
06:10:07,610 --> 06:10:09,910
I can't put them when it comes to the budget 60 seconds.

4853
06:10:10,350 --> 06:10:11,330
Something actually important.

4854
06:10:11,330 --> 06:10:17,230
And I think it's a bigger picture, this item, it's a much bigger picture than just a memorial.

4855
06:10:17,710 --> 06:10:22,450
Because when you have that word sensitive subject, I'm sensitive about this subject.

4856
06:10:23,010 --> 06:10:27,450
Let's sense it, though, that want to be Queen Monica, is about being stuck in the 90s.

4857
06:10:28,550 --> 06:10:31,550
2026, we demand transparency, and these agenda items.

4858
06:10:31,990 --> 06:10:35,590
It is weird that this item was shoved into consent.

4859
06:10:36,110 --> 06:10:38,890
It's also corrupt, but I know why this was pulled.

4860
06:10:38,890 --> 06:10:40,330
It's not the brain trance therapy.

4861
06:10:40,330 --> 06:10:42,070
You know, never trance therapy.

4862
06:10:42,650 --> 06:10:46,630
We know it's because many hate America, hate law enforcement,

4863
06:10:46,910 --> 06:10:49,250
hate first responders, and hate anyone

4864
06:10:49,250 --> 06:10:52,190
that brings good to the world to like firefighters do.

4865
06:10:52,470 --> 06:10:54,410
She's going to come up with any and every excuse

4866
06:10:54,410 --> 06:10:56,250
on the book not to support this memorial,

4867
06:10:56,810 --> 06:10:59,590
because as much as she pretends to be someone who's struggle,

4868
06:10:59,950 --> 06:11:01,650
nope, she's not too home.

4869
06:11:02,430 --> 06:11:04,630
That being said, it is a little weird

4870
06:11:04,630 --> 06:11:06,870
to use water as a symbol of firefighters,

4871
06:11:06,870 --> 06:11:12,250
It's actually down town where firefighters are not primarily fighting fires, like they are in the backcountry,

4872
06:11:12,730 --> 06:11:16,430
no thanks to the professional orphanage, like the one that we just caught in Spring Valley,

4873
06:11:16,790 --> 06:11:21,130
and like you guys do nothing about, and I'm not against the memorial for firefighters.

4874
06:11:21,910 --> 06:11:29,190
But I am against the lack of transparency community to consent, because again, where was the transparency on who's designing this?

4875
06:11:29,510 --> 06:11:36,770
How much money does it cost? What is the design? I didn't get to say, and I don't remember hearing anything about this until it was put into consent.

4876
06:11:37,590 --> 06:11:42,970
Plus, no heroes work anywhere near this building, so it should be in the backcountry.

4877
06:11:43,530 --> 06:11:48,270
For example, everybody saw Mani taking pictures outside with her communist allies earlier

4878
06:11:48,270 --> 06:11:52,450
adding up to my future viral posts and I'm thinking of which moniker, you still make

4879
06:11:52,450 --> 06:11:52,910
speakers?

4880
06:11:53,390 --> 06:11:54,290
Or was that Sarah?

4881
06:11:54,910 --> 06:11:58,450
You people need mental help, I don't just say that, you prove it every single meeting.

4882
06:11:58,970 --> 06:12:00,090
Thank you.

4883
06:12:00,090 --> 06:12:01,610
You're here from the next college.

4884
06:12:08,930 --> 06:12:08,950
Yeah,

4885
06:12:11,010 --> 06:12:14,550
first, this does appear at such a genuine good idea,

4886
06:12:14,590 --> 06:12:16,190
but I don't think it's that simple.

4887
06:12:16,810 --> 06:12:18,010
But I'll keep it that simple.

4888
06:12:18,610 --> 06:12:20,190
There should be the memorial here,

4889
06:12:20,190 --> 06:12:22,610
and it should complement the law enforcement memorial

4890
06:12:22,610 --> 06:12:24,050
that's out front.

4891
06:12:24,650 --> 06:12:26,410
Not really in the back country.

4892
06:12:26,630 --> 06:12:28,810
I mean, there's monuments all over the country

4893
06:12:28,810 --> 06:12:31,750
that we don't all see because it don't live near them.

4894
06:12:32,430 --> 06:12:34,150
And the reason we should have a memorial

4895
06:12:34,150 --> 06:12:36,150
is the women on this board have pushed

4896
06:12:36,150 --> 06:12:43,250
The leftist Marxist agenda of darkness and death, resulting in societal chaos, subhuman behavior,

4897
06:12:43,570 --> 06:12:49,090
and poorly-managed environmental condition conditions, pushing first responders to now face

4898
06:12:49,090 --> 06:12:54,250
more danger and horrific danger against themselves than ever before.

4899
06:12:54,870 --> 06:13:00,370
First responders of fire, law enforcement must always be respected, recognize and odd for

4900
06:13:00,370 --> 06:13:03,430
their self-sacrifice, and the sacrifice of their family.

4901
06:13:03,430 --> 06:13:11,150
So I'm okay with this if it maintains the simplicity of how it presents in writing and it doesn't

4902
06:13:11,150 --> 06:13:16,510
cost an arm and a leg or add to the budget and it should complement the law enforcement.

4903
06:13:17,850 --> 06:13:23,570
Memorial. But you guys, man, you know, put our first responders into a horrific

4904
06:13:23,570 --> 06:13:30,910
danger with your policies, your ideology, and you're, oh, what used to be evil is now good in

4905
06:13:36,600 --> 06:13:38,780
I want to

4906
06:13:51,140 --> 06:13:54,580
go ahead and apologize to all of you because I've been about this the wrong way.

4907
06:13:55,480 --> 06:14:01,900
I should have just flat out after you, from the get go, how you go ahead and weed out

4908
06:14:01,900 --> 06:14:03,880
non-citizens from the voterals.

4909
06:14:05,320 --> 06:14:12,900
I should have reminded you right away that in 2015 we changed the rules and our previous text no longer worked.

4910
06:14:12,900 --> 06:14:20,900
So basically since 2015 and till today we have not weeded out one non-fit of the next set for self-reporting

4911
06:14:21,780 --> 06:14:27,960
That's on record. You guys have it. You guys know that I've been waiting for you to go ahead and give me a non-refund

4912
06:14:27,960 --> 06:14:30,980
So that you could go ahead and do the check

4913
06:14:30,980 --> 06:14:37,080
You're obligated under the NBRA subsection 8. I highly recommend using the

4914
06:14:37,080 --> 06:14:42,620
say backs and go ahead and put up the name. Do it now before they use certified election

4915
06:14:42,620 --> 06:14:51,160
or after, and then we could go ahead and play a guessing game. Enough, non-citizens voting

4916
06:14:51,160 --> 06:14:57,380
in our last election that changed every single revolt, and I bet you the answer of yes.

4917
06:14:57,900 --> 06:14:59,980
I bet you they came from all the brand.

4918
06:15:00,000 --> 06:15:05,180
You look down to find out where that frog came, they're coming from those locations. If you're

4919
06:15:05,180 --> 06:15:10,700
duty to go in a look, it's not my duty to find it for you. You're not supposed to go ahead

4920
06:15:10,700 --> 06:15:15,900
and try to stop me from asking questions and you're supposed to answer this. Throwing me

4921
06:15:15,900 --> 06:15:21,600
in jail and trying to go ahead and get me arrested because I'm a dick after six years? Yeah,

4922
06:15:21,620 --> 06:15:27,320
no, that's on you. You should have answered the first time I'd asked, or the second, first year,

4923
06:15:27,320 --> 06:15:33,340
second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year, six years. How many years are you not going

4924
06:15:33,340 --> 06:15:39,420
to answer my question? Are you going to go ahead and try to throw me in jail first? Is that

4925
06:15:39,420 --> 06:15:44,960
your mind of go? So, Damian, I understand that you've defeated Trump and then be our favorite.

4926
06:15:46,500 --> 06:15:48,280
You were here from the final color.

4927
06:15:56,560 --> 06:16:01,240
Where, Beekman? Hi. Thank you for your work on the previous

4928
06:16:06,680 --> 06:16:13,820
It's a learning process for me too, and I'm really interested how this item will progress.

4929
06:16:14,180 --> 06:16:16,500
Thank you, previous item will progress for this item.

4930
06:16:17,480 --> 06:16:22,820
I wanted to quickly offer a, it sounds like a very noble project what you're doing.

4931
06:16:23,940 --> 06:16:29,480
What sort of technology accountability would be a part of the future of this park?

4932
06:16:29,480 --> 06:16:35,920
I just thought I would ask that, in the City of San Diego, I feel we're having difficulties

4933
06:16:35,920 --> 06:16:40,640
in being more clear about what exactly we were placing in the future of our parks.

4934
06:16:41,900 --> 06:16:45,340
And I feel it has to be a conversation that's to be open and regular.

4935
06:16:46,620 --> 06:16:51,160
To quickly note, the City of Oakland and its County of Alameda have figured out ways

4936
06:16:51,160 --> 06:16:59,460
to leave Block and look for a new ALPR vendor by inviting a full community process in the

4937
06:16:59,460 --> 06:17:05,740
what can be a future AR vendor, that's community in action, that's looking good democracy towards

4938
06:17:05,740 --> 06:17:13,700
the future technology. We have to really be based on that community practices for our future

4939
06:17:13,700 --> 06:17:21,640
technology to do the good technology practices with this park. It'd be in good form. It'd be

4940
06:17:21,640 --> 06:17:26,080
offering our best practices and our decent seat. Good luck and how to do that. Thank you.

4941
06:17:28,090 --> 06:17:28,510
Thank you.

4942
06:17:28,510 --> 06:17:31,450
and chair-loss the room of that concludes public comment on the sign-up.

4943
06:17:32,090 --> 06:17:33,670
Okay, thank you very much.

4944
06:17:34,370 --> 06:17:36,350
I just very happy to bring this forward.

4945
06:17:37,310 --> 06:17:45,270
You know, it is an issue that has come before us a couple times in terms of conversations.

4946
06:17:45,270 --> 06:17:52,570
I think it's a long time in coming and having an opportunity to honor our first responders and our particular

4947
06:17:52,570 --> 06:17:58,550
or the our firefighters for their service and and really for their sacrifice.

4948
06:17:59,390 --> 06:18:09,010
So I think it's very hard to fully acknowledge what so many of them have given for all of us.

4949
06:18:09,130 --> 06:18:15,310
And I did want to do this as quickly as possible because there was an interest in having

4950
06:18:15,310 --> 06:18:22,150
this under way and time for the 9-11 memorial that will be happening in September.

4951
06:18:23,210 --> 06:18:31,890
So again, I would like to make a motion to adopt this item and hope to have the support

4952
06:18:31,890 --> 06:18:32,690
of my colleagues.

4953
06:18:33,190 --> 06:18:34,470
I'm super as a jury.

4954
06:18:36,070 --> 06:18:36,910
Thank you, Madam Chair.

4955
06:18:38,730 --> 06:19:02,350
To your point, this has been long time coming and we don't have a regional memorial location for our firefighters who sacrifice in so many different ways in our first responder, so I think that we need to honor them and I think that you bringing this forward in an energy and manner is something I'm very grateful for.

4956
06:19:02,350 --> 06:19:28,410
I just want to offer, I guess it could be a friendly amendment, I want us to be intentional about what we're doing here and just what I've heard from them is that they would like to locate it in site 6, which is the mayor image of where the deputies memorial is on the west side of the waterfront park.

4957
06:19:28,410 --> 06:19:42,270
So, I would suggest that we just go ahead and choose that location, instead of leaving it up to our CAO, and then I think you have my bridge.

4958
06:19:42,750 --> 06:19:48,710
And then we also direct the CAO to come back within 90 days.

4959
06:19:48,710 --> 06:20:05,350
If it's amenable to folks to add the capacity of the space for Harbor Drive so that we also don't lose space within the location that I'm proposing.

4960
06:20:05,850 --> 06:20:08,710
I'll give everyone a second to read this.

4961
06:20:10,510 --> 06:20:10,830
First part.

4962
06:20:10,930 --> 06:20:12,050
I get the second part.

4963
06:20:12,270 --> 06:20:12,650
I know.

4964
06:20:13,030 --> 06:20:14,670
Well, there's a whole lot of things.

4965
06:20:14,670 --> 06:20:14,730
Hold on.

4966
06:20:14,730 --> 06:20:16,370
Hold on.

4967
06:20:16,410 --> 06:20:17,730
Joel, you'll look at here.

4968
06:20:18,150 --> 06:20:18,690
Because your mic's on.

4969
06:20:18,690 --> 06:20:21,290
So the question was, well, what would that look like?

4970
06:20:21,430 --> 06:20:22,170
Turn your mic off.

4971
06:20:22,570 --> 06:20:28,870
So the recommendation three would address any concerns related to obviously this is going

4972
06:20:28,870 --> 06:20:30,130
to be a permanent fixture.

4973
06:20:31,170 --> 06:20:35,430
And our waterfront park hosts a lot of different events.

4974
06:20:36,270 --> 06:20:43,590
So, to a certain degree, we'll be losing some score footage that would be made available to potential events.

4975
06:20:44,470 --> 06:20:51,250
So, I just want to add options so that we can offset that score footage that we would be losing with a memorial

4976
06:20:51,250 --> 06:20:55,830
and incorporate the option of including portions of Harper drive,

4977
06:20:56,050 --> 06:21:02,810
and directing staff to work with the relevant jurisdictions and agencies to see if that could be feasible,

4978
06:21:02,810 --> 06:21:11,510
and that way we don't we it's a win win. Okay I have a thank you for this I have a

4979
06:21:11,510 --> 06:21:18,550
question. If I meet. Please go ahead. Thank you. I'm old enough on this board now

4980
06:21:18,550 --> 06:21:24,210
to remember when we had a board chair who wanted to shut down Harbor alive entirely

4981
06:21:24,210 --> 06:21:32,290
and take our part straight to the bay. And he also pledged $10,000 for this very

4982
06:21:32,290 --> 06:21:38,330
event which I matched them coming from my grant and I challenge all of you to match

4983
06:21:38,330 --> 06:21:43,290
my 10 grand going towards this memorial from our community grant, for our community.

4984
06:21:43,930 --> 06:21:46,550
We are so fortunate you have such an incredible firefighters.

4985
06:21:47,070 --> 06:21:51,910
I think firefighters across the world are incredible, but here in San Diego they are especially

4986
06:21:51,910 --> 06:21:52,750
awesome.

4987
06:21:53,430 --> 06:21:54,250
I think they are great more.

4988
06:21:54,570 --> 06:21:55,670
So that's all I have to say.

4989
06:21:55,670 --> 06:22:02,270
And I did hear a comment earlier that there are concerns about us, the county funding

4990
06:22:02,270 --> 06:22:07,350
this and I just want to be clear that that wouldn't be the case. It would be the firefighters

4991
06:22:07,350 --> 06:22:12,830
have an ad hoc and never mind. They have a task force.

4992
06:22:15,030 --> 06:22:17,270
It's a very powerful ad hoc.

4993
06:22:17,310 --> 06:22:24,450
But they have a task force that is ready to start fundraising is my understanding, so that

4994
06:22:24,450 --> 06:22:29,690
will be paid by them. But yeah, I mean, I absolutely, I would love to support their fundraising

4995
06:22:29,690 --> 06:22:37,010
efforts through. It would be super awesome. The first 50 grand came from all of us, from

4996
06:22:37,010 --> 06:22:44,230
our community, community grants. I'm not going to put you on the spot, but we're going to

4997
06:22:44,230 --> 06:22:52,950
get the wing here. Thank you. I just have to have a quick question on this to better

4998
06:22:52,950 --> 06:22:56,930
understand, I'd love to be able to take this amendment, but I want to better understand

4999
06:22:56,930 --> 06:23:05,350
implications. So this is for site 6. So I think my question is just the county staff.

5000
06:23:06,050 --> 06:23:12,330
I just tells about site 6. Is there any concerns or potential challenges or anything

5001
06:23:12,330 --> 06:23:20,490
that needs to be assessed? You know, any kind of any, yeah. Tell us about site 6, I guess.

5002
06:23:21,110 --> 06:23:22,450
Thank you, Chair.

5003
06:23:23,050 --> 06:23:26,150
To the Chairprotems comment regarding the multiple events.

5004
06:23:26,690 --> 06:23:37,910
This particular location, I don't know what I'm looking at, is in one of locations where some of those larger events that do fund park revenues and fund the operations and the maintenance of the park.

5005
06:23:38,190 --> 06:23:43,030
Our held, we have large stages and things like that that you have limited space to be accommodated.

5006
06:23:43,630 --> 06:23:49,950
The water from park brings in about $2 million a year, all of that goes to park operations

5007
06:23:49,950 --> 06:23:50,510
and maintenance.

5008
06:23:51,190 --> 06:23:56,790
About half of that comes from some of our large music festivals that do use that space.

5009
06:23:58,150 --> 06:24:02,670
I think with some of the other opportunities here, we could certainly look at expanding that area

5010
06:24:02,670 --> 06:24:03,870
and not losing that space.

5011
06:24:04,110 --> 06:24:07,730
It would be helpful for us to be able to look into that a little bit further to see how we

5012
06:24:07,730 --> 06:24:12,510
could achieve both of the objectives here of retaining revenue and achieving the board's

5013
06:24:12,510 --> 06:24:14,190
with the firefighter memorial.

5014
06:24:15,210 --> 06:24:17,570
Okay, I mean, I'm going to ask my assistance from Damon

5015
06:24:17,570 --> 06:24:21,830
because to be, I feel like I'm not 100% point on my amendments today,

5016
06:24:22,590 --> 06:24:26,830
but I would love to basically support what a Super Zeguru is put out here,

5017
06:24:27,090 --> 06:24:31,850
but giving county direction to kind of come up with a solution

5018
06:24:31,850 --> 06:24:34,610
that moves forward with the recommended site,

5019
06:24:35,270 --> 06:24:40,990
but doesn't constrain them to only look at the solution that Super Zeguru proposed,

5020
06:24:40,990 --> 06:24:42,330
which is a good idea, right?

5021
06:24:42,330 --> 06:24:46,030
Which is a value in feasible, that's great, yes, and.

5022
06:24:46,030 --> 06:24:49,450
And other options, is it also, is there something

5023
06:24:49,450 --> 06:24:52,630
about the size of the memorial that might be,

5024
06:24:52,630 --> 06:24:55,110
if it's the littler or in a different angle

5025
06:24:55,110 --> 06:24:56,430
that might, you know, I don't know,

5026
06:24:56,450 --> 06:24:57,690
I don't want to like tie your hands

5027
06:24:57,690 --> 06:24:59,250
that that's your only option,

5028
06:24:59,750 --> 06:25:02,250
but would love you guys to come up with some solutions

5029
06:25:02,250 --> 06:25:04,190
that achieve both objectives.

5030
06:25:05,150 --> 06:25:07,210
And I love what Super Ziggier put out.

5031
06:25:07,270 --> 06:25:09,230
I think this three is great, and what else?

5032
06:25:09,230 --> 06:25:10,210
What else could we brainstorm

5033
06:25:10,210 --> 06:25:15,930
that would allow us to continue having these amazing events to water from park and honoring

5034
06:25:15,930 --> 06:25:23,430
our, you know, frankly, our heroes who like deserve every, you know, everything that we

5035
06:25:23,430 --> 06:25:27,330
can give them to honor the sacrifices that they made. So I don't know exactly.

5036
06:25:27,330 --> 06:25:31,190
And we're considering their preference, right? Yeah, that's been saying, like, let me give you

5037
06:25:31,190 --> 06:25:35,950
the little preference around, like, I think it's very clear. They have a preference for

5038
06:25:35,950 --> 06:25:40,910
kind of the mirror image location to the law enforcement memorial, so, you know, prioritizing

5039
06:25:40,910 --> 06:25:47,190
that preference and saying, okay, that's the preference we want to be respectful, but

5040
06:25:47,190 --> 06:25:51,670
how can we be respectful in a way that also allows us to continue to utilize in the spaces.

5041
06:25:51,870 --> 06:25:58,050
I think Super Zagiri has been very creative here with this idea of looking for the expansions

5042
06:25:58,050 --> 06:26:01,310
of like, can we close down Harbor Drive?

5043
06:26:01,310 --> 06:26:16,750
I think it would just be, yeah, it would be a simple add-on to direct CAO to coordinate with appropriate jurisdictions to violate the feasibility of utilizing portions of harbour drive, including bubble blah, and other options at the end of that sentence.

5044
06:26:17,930 --> 06:26:19,550
And then, and other feasible options.

5045
06:26:20,030 --> 06:26:30,910
And also exploring all other feasible options to continue having super awesome events as per the words used by, to understand super.

5046
06:26:32,330 --> 06:26:37,930
And other people often continue having large-scale community

5047
06:26:37,930 --> 06:26:40,330
foot-centered events in order for a park.

5048
06:26:41,210 --> 06:26:44,470
I don't know if this upcomposes what we need, kind of counsel,

5049
06:26:44,690 --> 06:26:47,450
but I just want them to make a plan to do both

5050
06:26:47,450 --> 06:26:48,510
and not either or.

5051
06:26:49,870 --> 06:26:52,150
Charles, remember that the amendments

5052
06:26:52,150 --> 06:26:54,670
appeared to be clear enough to provide that direction?

5053
06:26:59,810 --> 06:27:00,030
OK.

5054
06:27:00,570 --> 06:27:01,510
I'm happy to do that.

5055
06:27:01,750 --> 06:27:03,530
I'm happy to accept that.

5056
06:27:03,530 --> 06:27:11,190
As long as they have a direction to look at all possibilities to do all things and not just one option.

5057
06:27:11,850 --> 06:27:14,610
Yeah. Okay. Happy to get it up here for a minute. Yeah.

5058
06:27:14,830 --> 06:27:15,150
Then I'll say.

5059
06:27:17,550 --> 06:27:17,810
Okay.

5060
06:27:18,610 --> 06:27:18,890
Is your resume?

5061
06:27:20,470 --> 06:27:25,730
Well, I wish I had a map. I wish I knew what the spikes you were talking about.

5062
06:27:25,990 --> 06:27:27,530
I have no, I don't.

5063
06:27:28,150 --> 06:27:30,110
Oh, look, I can't do anything.

5064
06:27:30,190 --> 06:27:30,830
I can't do anything.

5065
06:27:30,890 --> 06:27:32,910
Andrew is always Andrew and handsome.

5066
06:27:33,350 --> 06:27:34,470
Well, that would have been nice.

5067
06:27:34,950 --> 06:27:36,110
Before this discussion.

5068
06:27:37,490 --> 06:27:39,130
Or be in our packets or something.

5069
06:27:39,290 --> 06:27:41,570
I didn't, didn't have anything here.

5070
06:27:41,590 --> 06:27:42,810
Well, look, we can all look.

5071
06:27:43,030 --> 06:27:43,730
So we're sites.

5072
06:27:44,190 --> 06:27:45,890
Go back to the map.

5073
06:27:46,890 --> 06:27:48,530
So we're sites six.

5074
06:27:51,310 --> 06:27:52,010
Right there.

5075
06:27:53,730 --> 06:27:55,690
And the other one, the law enforcement memorial,

5076
06:27:55,850 --> 06:27:56,990
okay, is over there.

5077
06:27:57,350 --> 06:27:58,870
Okay, but right now, I guess with the amendments,

5078
06:27:58,870 --> 06:28:02,550
We open it up to whatever the best that they come back with, is that right?

5079
06:28:02,770 --> 06:28:03,910
Instead of specifying six.

5080
06:28:04,150 --> 06:28:08,610
Well, we are saying prioritizing six, because that's where they want it, but we're also saying,

5081
06:28:09,210 --> 06:28:13,270
hey, go try to make it happen at six and come back with all your options to do that without

5082
06:28:13,270 --> 06:28:14,610
sacrificing events.

5083
06:28:16,430 --> 06:28:21,190
And of course, if they come back and they say, like, we have no feasible options, we might have

5084
06:28:21,190 --> 06:28:22,390
to have another conversation.

5085
06:28:24,730 --> 06:28:36,330
Is that, is that, is that, again, County Council is the way that the amendments drafted clear enough that that's what we want to, we would like to be, to do both and not either or.

5086
06:28:36,490 --> 06:28:37,050
That's clear.

5087
06:28:38,370 --> 06:28:41,210
Does that make, is that makes sense to you, Supervisor doesn't know?

5088
06:28:41,410 --> 06:28:41,890
Yeah.

5089
06:28:42,390 --> 06:28:42,410
Yeah.

5090
06:28:42,410 --> 06:28:42,630
Yeah.

5091
06:28:53,880 --> 06:28:54,060
Okay.

5092
06:28:54,360 --> 06:28:56,280
Please, I'd love to hear from our experts.

5093
06:28:56,880 --> 06:28:57,620
Thank you, Chair.

5094
06:28:57,680 --> 06:29:01,980
I just wanted to clarify the location and make sure that staff is understanding it correctly

5095
06:29:01,980 --> 06:29:09,120
on this map, the site's sixth is a little bit further from where I understood it to

5096
06:29:09,120 --> 06:29:09,260
be.

5097
06:29:09,340 --> 06:29:13,300
I understood it to be a direct mirror of the law enforcement memorial, which would be closer

5098
06:29:13,300 --> 06:29:16,060
to, I believe it was four and five on that map.

5099
06:29:16,080 --> 06:29:17,340
Can I put your backpack up, Andrew?

5100
06:29:25,230 --> 06:29:30,250
Along that walkway between four and five, which would be again a direct mirror of the law enforcement

5101
06:29:30,250 --> 06:29:30,630
memorial.

5102
06:29:30,630 --> 06:29:37,990
We do have some conceptual, we have the opportunity to create some conceptual maps that that would be helpful.

5103
06:29:42,860 --> 06:29:47,840
We could operate with the direction to have it directly mirror the law enforcement memorial,

5104
06:29:48,040 --> 06:29:51,720
and I think we can work with the firefighters to identify precisely where that location is.

5105
06:29:51,720 --> 06:29:54,540
And I think that's that works because I think the...

5106
06:30:00,000 --> 06:30:13,420
The clarifier, we have a different map that showed that number four in the current map displayed is number six in the one we, we're given. So, anyway, we can work with.

5107
06:30:13,740 --> 06:30:19,840
So, can we strike the, we'll cover, we strike the pieces of six and just as the mirror image of the law enforcement.

5108
06:30:19,840 --> 06:30:20,920
It's two maps.

5109
06:30:21,720 --> 06:30:21,740
That's fine.

5110
06:30:21,740 --> 06:30:22,060
OK.

5111
06:30:22,400 --> 06:30:23,620
Let's pull that back up.

5112
06:30:40,720 --> 06:30:40,900
It is.

5113
06:30:45,620 --> 06:30:46,180
Yeah.

5114
06:30:46,320 --> 06:30:47,560
Just get rid of that.

5115
06:30:49,140 --> 06:30:49,160
Yeah.

5116
06:30:54,150 --> 06:30:54,630
We hold on.

5117
06:30:54,810 --> 06:30:54,970
It was.

5118
06:30:55,490 --> 06:30:56,150
We missed something.

5119
06:30:56,330 --> 06:30:57,190
So it was direct achievement.

5120
06:30:58,950 --> 06:30:59,730
To thank you.

5121
06:31:01,750 --> 06:31:02,310
Prioritizing.

5122
06:31:02,490 --> 06:31:03,010
Not add up.

5123
06:31:04,110 --> 06:31:04,670
Prioritizing.

5124
06:31:08,440 --> 06:31:09,000
Prioritizing.

5125
06:31:11,300 --> 06:31:11,360
Yeah.

5126
06:31:17,640 --> 06:31:19,200
And then after Waterfront Park.

5127
06:31:19,200 --> 06:31:19,780
comma

5128
06:31:23,590 --> 06:31:26,350
and explore.

5129
06:31:33,140 --> 06:31:33,140
Great.

5130
06:31:35,670 --> 06:31:39,790
Okay. We have a motion in the floor. I know amendment in a second.

5131
06:31:41,230 --> 06:31:42,010
Any additional comments?

5132
06:31:44,130 --> 06:31:44,610
Okay, please.

5133
06:31:48,680 --> 06:31:50,380
Oh. Turn it last and remember that motion passes,

5134
06:31:50,540 --> 06:31:53,200
you know, and I'm going to say, if I'll supervise just being present and voting aye.

5135
06:31:55,490 --> 06:32:00,430
Okay. Thank you very much. So now we'll go on to item 14.

5136
06:32:02,850 --> 06:32:07,610
This is the Dr. Resolution, the men, the Board of Supervisors July 20, 26 meeting calendar,

5137
06:32:08,490 --> 06:32:16,630
and it's not the A72 waiver. This item has been brought forward because we're not expecting any items from staff in this meeting.

5138
06:32:17,170 --> 06:32:20,610
Any comments from my colleagues at this time?

5139
06:32:25,000 --> 06:32:27,480
Any comments from the public?

5140
06:32:29,780 --> 06:32:30,500
Thank you.

5141
06:32:30,700 --> 06:32:31,260
Thank you.

5142
06:32:31,380 --> 06:32:32,920
We have nine requests to speak on this item.

5143
06:32:33,300 --> 06:32:33,920
Two in person.

5144
06:32:34,220 --> 06:32:34,620
Seven in requesting.

5145
06:32:35,000 --> 06:32:35,800
We speak by phone.

5146
06:32:36,180 --> 06:32:39,520
Also know for the record that we received three e-commerce in opposition.

5147
06:32:40,400 --> 06:32:43,840
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 14 by phone.

5148
06:32:44,120 --> 06:32:47,780
Please dial in to the conference line using the instructions that were provided to you.

5149
06:32:47,980 --> 06:32:49,180
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

5150
06:32:49,760 --> 06:32:51,560
Allegedly, Audra has already approached the podium.

5151
06:32:52,060 --> 06:32:53,520
And also like to invite for more guests.

5152
06:32:54,520 --> 06:32:54,900
Thank you.

5153
06:32:56,180 --> 06:33:00,340
I've been brought my gavel just in case you'd like me to take over the meetings in July.

5154
06:33:00,700 --> 06:33:02,140
Can get some real good business done?

5155
06:33:02,160 --> 06:33:03,880
Make sure the budget is spent wisely.

5156
06:33:04,140 --> 06:33:05,360
Children aren't being trafficked.

5157
06:33:05,600 --> 06:33:06,560
Humans aren't being exploited.

5158
06:33:06,820 --> 06:33:08,060
That the homeless get into housing.

5159
06:33:08,600 --> 06:33:09,880
And you guys quit racketeering.

5160
06:33:10,980 --> 06:33:13,760
Oh, but that wouldn't allow you guys to continue.

5161
06:33:14,340 --> 06:33:14,600
You're arguing.

5162
06:33:14,940 --> 06:33:16,080
It's crimes in to get.

5163
06:33:16,380 --> 06:33:17,860
So that's not going to happen.

5164
06:33:18,320 --> 06:33:19,080
And I find it interesting.

5165
06:33:19,280 --> 06:33:21,260
It's like people are all worried about feelings.

5166
06:33:21,660 --> 06:33:23,740
So maybe while you guys are in your little break,

5167
06:33:23,740 --> 06:33:29,420
You can think about, I mean, what would I like be like if you've got the shit beaten out of you by an officer?

5168
06:33:31,360 --> 06:33:34,860
I don't know, you guys would probably play a card, Monaco would play a black card,

5169
06:33:35,040 --> 06:33:38,340
but I would play a brown card and Terry would play your due card.

5170
06:33:38,480 --> 06:33:40,820
So it's like, I don't know, what card do I get to play?

5171
06:33:41,060 --> 06:33:43,500
Being of the light and just, you know, being the salt,

5172
06:33:44,060 --> 06:33:49,640
and the light and coming in with truth, while you guys are just filled with sulfur, it's interesting.

5173
06:33:50,260 --> 06:33:52,920
how like people are concerned about feelings.

5174
06:33:54,060 --> 06:33:58,340
Better if I was black, brown or Jewish, and, you know,

5175
06:33:58,900 --> 06:34:02,320
got beat up in that hallway, dang, people would be pissed.

5176
06:34:02,840 --> 06:34:05,880
You imagine, but being a native American doesn't matter,

5177
06:34:06,060 --> 06:34:07,420
because I'm also white.

5178
06:34:08,440 --> 06:34:10,380
Uh, a number one, but we don't know what that is.

5179
06:34:10,540 --> 06:34:12,900
So it's like, I mean, I guess that's why it doesn't matter.

5180
06:34:13,320 --> 06:34:15,100
You know what I mean? I don't check enough boxes.

5181
06:34:15,800 --> 06:34:18,900
So I mean, you could ask people and you think I would.

5182
06:34:18,900 --> 06:34:20,840
I mean, people think I'm on the left.

5183
06:34:21,220 --> 06:34:22,260
Some people think I'm on the right.

5184
06:34:22,360 --> 06:34:23,580
People are very confused.

5185
06:34:25,460 --> 06:34:29,160
But it's just sad to see you guys sit there

5186
06:34:29,160 --> 06:34:32,080
and pour me about names.

5187
06:34:33,020 --> 06:34:35,220
All your own constituents have gotten the crap

5188
06:34:35,220 --> 06:34:36,500
being out of them, right?

5189
06:34:36,500 --> 06:34:39,400
Right in front of you, right in front of you,

5190
06:34:39,560 --> 06:34:42,300
and it didn't matter, but yet we talk about our feelings.

5191
06:34:43,300 --> 06:34:45,340
And we do want to silence free speech,

5192
06:34:45,540 --> 06:34:48,880
because it's so hurtful to how people say names.

5193
06:34:51,280 --> 06:34:58,260
Again, imagine if you were still injured from having the shit beaten out of you by a man who is extremely proud of it.

5194
06:34:59,420 --> 06:34:59,900
Good job.

5195
06:35:01,580 --> 06:35:05,200
Now, here from the individuals that requested to speak like, oh, we'll start with the first caller.

5196
06:35:12,980 --> 06:35:22,640
All of those, that's me, I like you want to break from hearing about the message you create.

5197
06:35:24,140 --> 06:35:32,280
But seriously, I think that it would be good to keep the dates of meeting open and less.

5198
06:35:32,780 --> 06:35:36,040
Mined items are always cropping up.

5199
06:35:36,340 --> 06:35:41,600
If you do this, the next Gregor Board meeting would be August 18.

5200
06:35:41,600 --> 06:35:51,720
In fact, the rules of procedures just that board meetings be held weekly and less otherwise

5201
06:35:51,720 --> 06:36:02,540
get so much later every two months would really be pushing it, you know, especially

5202
06:36:02,540 --> 06:36:06,420
one and a half months to mid-August.

5203
06:36:06,420 --> 06:36:15,120
You need to take care of the people, not make them wait if they actually do need your services.

5204
06:36:15,920 --> 06:36:23,800
You can cancel later if there's no new business or emergency business or something of that sort.

5205
06:36:24,520 --> 06:36:33,180
And people wouldn't have a firm day to go on for their fix or whatever.

5206
06:36:35,580 --> 06:36:41,320
But that firm day to go on to put down on their calendar,

5207
06:36:43,680 --> 06:36:46,420
another thing, if you can tell

5208
06:36:46,420 --> 06:36:55,840
us for a head that there will be no items on July 14th, maybe you are in fact able to

5209
06:36:55,840 --> 06:37:04,880
And I, I didn't see a few weeks earlier as, um, it's because the previous way,

5210
06:37:07,290 --> 06:37:07,710
um,

5211
06:37:08,090 --> 06:37:14,470
and now it all goes back to transparency and the, I mean,

5212
06:37:14,770 --> 06:37:20,030
that's why if you don't have, thank you, we'll hear from the next caller.

5213
06:37:29,390 --> 06:37:32,150
I'm going to follow here with this chiming in to, um,

5214
06:37:33,030 --> 06:37:41,930
Birds and encourage the board to start listening to people, great suggestions, like all the

5215
06:37:41,930 --> 06:37:53,870
bold and all the amazing people who are doing what they can to pay attention, and aren't

5216
06:37:53,870 --> 06:38:01,090
getting paid for any of them, so I mean, not least that out, but I'm not really paying that

5217
06:38:01,090 --> 06:38:07,370
for the tension because I, you know, I still got a carry on. I got my priorities. I don't have

5218
06:38:07,370 --> 06:38:13,750
assistance to help me out with my children. And yeah, but I'm still, I'm still interested in

5219
06:38:13,750 --> 06:38:18,310
still chiming in. And that's all I have to say because I truly don't even know what item

5220
06:38:18,310 --> 06:38:21,950
we're on. Thank you. Thank you.

5221
06:38:22,170 --> 06:38:22,470
Thank you. Thank you for that.

5222
06:38:29,330 --> 06:38:31,730
It's true. So as I'm eating my wonderful

5223
06:38:34,210 --> 06:38:39,430
I'm wondering, is this item? Is this an unofficial vacation in July to celebrate

5224
06:38:39,430 --> 06:38:44,710
here as charter destruction going on the ballot? I'm sure you guys have some other

5225
06:38:44,710 --> 06:38:50,010
evil stuff you could pass in July, right? But this is actually my favorite agenda item

5226
06:38:50,010 --> 06:38:55,610
of all time. I mean, I'm not of all time. I always support canceling meetings, of course.

5227
06:38:56,170 --> 06:39:01,050
I mean, I think while you're there, you should cancel August, September, October, November,

5228
06:39:01,050 --> 06:39:08,890
December canceled the 2027 meeting, but I want to give you reasons why. Why you should cancel all meetings, including next month.

5229
06:39:09,590 --> 06:39:16,530
You had a Korean flip manny on the ad box thing. Wow, someone's like the guilt just like came up on you like to a true

5230
06:39:16,530 --> 06:39:31,030
lot of money. And then you have a whole, a whole board of privileged people with multiple homes pretending they can relate to a

5231
06:39:31,030 --> 06:39:36,490
you can't even get the maps right. You had two different maps going. What map did the public get? Who knows? Who cares, right?

5232
06:39:37,330 --> 06:39:40,470
That goes back to their transparency thing. That's on the list.

5233
06:39:41,270 --> 06:39:45,410
You have a city of Senegal bias against the background tree. That's another reason to cancel meeting.

5234
06:39:46,290 --> 06:39:50,430
You have county council just bad and unlawful legal advice constantly.

5235
06:39:50,970 --> 06:39:56,350
Totally unqualified. Of course, I've covered that. You also have a lot of crazy things that are said.

5236
06:39:56,590 --> 06:39:59,770
I don't think that alone is a reason to cancel the meeting, so we can have some sanity.

5237
06:39:59,770 --> 06:40:01,310
I want to give just one example.

5238
06:40:01,430 --> 06:40:02,730
Monica, you're not the example today.

5239
06:40:02,770 --> 06:40:03,510
She's so happy.

5240
06:40:04,030 --> 06:40:04,710
I am sexy.

5241
06:40:05,010 --> 06:40:05,550
Please, ma'am.

5242
06:40:05,710 --> 06:40:06,130
The media.

5243
06:40:07,590 --> 06:40:08,090
Oh, sorry.

5244
06:40:08,130 --> 06:40:08,990
I got this the wrong one.

5245
06:40:09,030 --> 06:40:11,050
I was trying to play the one where, uh,

5246
06:40:11,050 --> 06:40:13,950
I mean, you said, uh, we need more inclusivity because, uh,

5247
06:40:13,990 --> 06:40:15,790
uh, it's exclusive to not have inclusivity.

5248
06:40:16,310 --> 06:40:17,750
It's, yeah, I was just so crazy.

5249
06:40:18,510 --> 06:40:20,130
But at the same time, I kind of changed your mind.

5250
06:40:20,690 --> 06:40:23,970
Let's have this meeting in July and cancel the one in August.

5251
06:40:24,370 --> 06:40:26,870
That would work better for me because, you know,

5252
06:40:26,890 --> 06:40:28,750
this is a torture table or selfishness.

5253
06:40:28,750 --> 06:40:30,810
So I think that makes sense, right?

5254
06:40:32,710 --> 06:40:34,510
Thank you, here from the next caller.

5255
06:40:41,730 --> 06:40:43,470
Actor, oh yeah, the resolution.

5256
06:40:49,080 --> 06:40:49,920
Thank you.

5257
06:40:50,220 --> 06:40:51,280
Oh, here from the next caller.

5258
06:41:00,940 --> 06:41:02,240
Hi, Blair Beakman.

5259
06:41:04,160 --> 06:41:04,820
Thank you.

5260
06:41:05,220 --> 06:41:05,880
Interesting item.

5261
06:41:06,140 --> 06:41:10,760
This is both the city of San Diego and the city of Oakland.

5262
06:41:11,460 --> 06:41:13,820
You know, I was from originally from the Bay Area

5263
06:41:13,820 --> 06:41:16,800
and I still attend the city of Oakland Public meetings.

5264
06:41:17,640 --> 06:41:18,380
Both of your meetings,

5265
06:41:18,380 --> 06:41:26,140
You're both their meetings, they're ending in mid-July, and it sounds like you guys are following the same practice.

5266
06:41:26,620 --> 06:41:31,200
It seems to be a group effort here that wants to cancel end of July meetings.

5267
06:41:31,980 --> 06:41:35,640
I don't know why that is. Could that be given some explanation and understanding?

5268
06:41:36,420 --> 06:41:40,300
I personally feel July meetings for government bodies.

5269
06:41:40,900 --> 06:41:47,800
They tend to be more open and free and good thinking, kind of a best thinking actually in July.

5270
06:41:47,800 --> 06:41:50,600
So I'm kind of surprised, this is happening.

5271
06:41:51,640 --> 06:41:53,360
If some explanations could be given,

5272
06:41:53,400 --> 06:41:56,180
that would be great, possibly in why it's happening

5273
06:41:56,180 --> 06:41:59,360
across the state would be helpful.

5274
06:42:02,380 --> 06:42:08,300
And I hope I could be attending a few more county meetings

5275
06:42:08,300 --> 06:42:11,540
and it was nice to hear your work in efforts today.

5276
06:42:12,840 --> 06:42:16,060
And good luck on building equity before austerity.

5277
06:42:16,060 --> 06:42:18,800
I've learned not importantly in San Diego to have a city.

5278
06:42:19,120 --> 06:42:20,540
They've done great work in that area.

5279
06:42:21,360 --> 06:42:23,940
Good luck in those sort of efforts.

5280
06:42:24,180 --> 06:42:25,220
Thank you.

5281
06:42:26,700 --> 06:42:28,200
Thank you, here from the next caller.

5282
06:42:41,040 --> 06:42:43,460
I've stated, go ahead and close up the meetings,

5283
06:42:43,740 --> 06:42:45,220
go ahead and figure out what you want to go ahead

5284
06:42:45,220 --> 06:42:50,020
and do because regardless, MBRA requires you

5285
06:42:50,020 --> 06:42:53,280
to go ahead and make sure you make a reasonable effort

5286
06:42:53,280 --> 06:42:54,380
to purchase files.

5287
06:42:55,000 --> 06:42:57,600
If you have it, you're going to have to immediately

5288
06:42:57,600 --> 06:43:04,220
the purchase of files. I think I want. And then when you purchase these files, take

5289
06:43:04,220 --> 06:43:08,800
you, Damon, you're going to be the one that's going to go ahead and show the world that

5290
06:43:08,800 --> 06:43:16,600
San Diego allows more non-citizens to vote than citizens. You're going to be the one

5291
06:43:16,600 --> 06:43:20,220
that's going to go ahead and show that. And then we're going to go ahead and explain through

5292
06:43:20,220 --> 06:43:26,440
the board members that all their actions that they've been taking. They probably should

5293
06:43:26,440 --> 06:43:32,740
address the elections, unless if they are accomplices, you know, under the NBRA, subtext,

5294
06:43:33,660 --> 06:43:40,120
I'm sorry, a election code, 18, 500 series, if that's the reason for why you've never

5295
06:43:40,120 --> 06:43:44,120
went in and looked at it, because by looking at it, you're going to have to address it.

5296
06:43:44,240 --> 06:43:50,460
By pretending you don't recognize the fact that you're not doing these projects, the fact

5297
06:43:50,460 --> 06:43:55,660
that you refuse to listen to anyone telling you these things, oh yeah, no, I'm going to

5298
06:43:55,660 --> 06:43:59,720
your nose in it. You're going to go in and provide me with that documentation. Then you're

5299
06:43:59,720 --> 06:44:04,220
going to go ahead and identify the non-citizens vote. Then you're going to have to make a tough

5300
06:44:04,220 --> 06:44:10,100
decision. Are you going to deport all of them? Are you going to charge all of them a hundred thousand

5301
06:44:10,100 --> 06:44:16,000
dollar fine? Or are you going to put all of them in federal prison? We're committing that crime that

5302
06:44:16,000 --> 06:44:22,420
you allowed them to commit. That you protected them to commit. Are you going to go ahead and call

5303
06:44:22,420 --> 06:44:25,580
about the NGOs that are actually voting for these people.

5304
06:44:26,620 --> 06:44:30,180
All these questions, you're going to have to ask yourself, answer what?

5305
06:44:30,820 --> 06:44:36,460
And after you get me that thing, 90 days after that, you'll have to go ahead and, you know,

5306
06:44:36,740 --> 06:44:38,140
who's something about it?

5307
06:44:38,300 --> 06:44:42,380
I'm not sure if you want to go ahead and go to jail for committing fraud.

5308
06:44:44,260 --> 06:44:44,620
Thank you.

5309
06:44:44,740 --> 06:44:47,440
Chair Lawson, River, that concludes public comment on this item.

5310
06:44:48,100 --> 06:44:50,460
Okay, turn the floor to super is there, Anderson?

5311
06:44:52,340 --> 06:44:52,580
Yes.

5312
06:44:52,920 --> 06:44:56,080
I don't have a problem supporting this today, but I have to board.

5313
06:45:00,000 --> 06:45:05,440
We were going to submit. It's all ready to go for that meeting.

5314
06:45:08,420 --> 06:45:10,360
We have a bunch of stuff coming

5315
06:45:10,360 --> 06:45:19,860
up at the election time and I saw that F3FM3 research in ironwood, public affairs. They had renewed

5316
06:45:19,860 --> 06:45:26,720
contracts and saw my board of theirs going to request that they do any election or polling or

5317
06:45:26,720 --> 06:45:30,880
of that information present to the entire board, but I just want to give you a head

5318
06:45:30,880 --> 06:45:34,000
up on that because I want to give them ample time.

5319
06:45:35,200 --> 06:45:39,800
So I don't think it's going to make any difference, but I was concerned about the timeline

5320
06:45:39,800 --> 06:45:41,460
getting pushed back too far.

5321
06:45:42,480 --> 06:45:42,900
Thank you.

5322
06:45:42,960 --> 06:45:44,360
Thank you for making that statement.

5323
06:45:44,580 --> 06:45:45,760
So now they'll be ready.

5324
06:45:46,920 --> 06:45:47,180
Yes.

5325
06:45:47,680 --> 06:45:48,000
Okay.

5326
06:45:48,580 --> 06:45:49,020
Great.

5327
06:45:49,800 --> 06:45:50,720
Happy to make a motion.

5328
06:45:51,240 --> 06:45:51,860
There's a second.

5329
06:45:52,820 --> 06:45:53,040
Okay.

5330
06:45:53,160 --> 06:45:54,980
Do we have a second from the Vice Chair, please vote?

5331
06:45:58,210 --> 06:46:02,590
Chair Lawson, remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present in

5332
06:46:02,590 --> 06:46:03,310
voting aye.

5333
06:46:03,510 --> 06:46:03,990
Okay.

5334
06:46:04,610 --> 06:46:05,610
Thank you very much.

5335
06:46:06,130 --> 06:46:10,390
I think we now are done with the items on the agenda except for closed sessions.

5336
06:46:10,610 --> 06:46:13,410
We'll go to non-agenda public comment and then to close session.

5337
06:46:14,170 --> 06:46:14,290
Thanks.

5338
06:46:14,290 --> 06:46:14,510
Thank you.

5339
06:46:14,670 --> 06:46:15,270
Chair Lawson, remember?

5340
06:46:15,430 --> 06:46:18,810
We have 18 remaining requests to speak a matter is not listed on the agenda.

5341
06:46:19,410 --> 06:46:24,150
10 individuals in person, and eight requesting to speak by phone, but those that requested

5342
06:46:24,150 --> 06:46:27,890
to speak by phone, please dial in at the conference line using the instructions that we're

5343
06:46:27,890 --> 06:46:29,910
provided to you.

5344
06:46:30,070 --> 06:46:31,610
Again, with the in-person speakers,

5345
06:46:32,370 --> 06:46:34,090
not seeing any individuals in the chamber,

5346
06:46:34,230 --> 06:46:36,210
I'll just run through the names just in case

5347
06:46:36,210 --> 06:46:38,830
that they happen to be in the hallway or across the hall.

5348
06:46:39,110 --> 06:46:42,710
Andrew Lawson, Marco Espinoza, Skylar Smith,

5349
06:46:43,870 --> 06:46:48,810
Carolina Garcia, Zett C. Dumte, and Asyn Chong,

5350
06:46:53,050 --> 06:46:54,790
and we'll now hear from those that request

5351
06:46:54,790 --> 06:46:55,710
to speak by phone.

5352
06:46:55,730 --> 06:46:56,910
We'll start with our first caller.

5353
06:47:01,140 --> 06:47:02,580
Again, you'll have two minutes to address the board.

5354
06:47:12,020 --> 06:47:13,880
Next speaker is Terry and Scully.

5355
06:47:14,700 --> 06:47:16,240
The device might be muted and

5356
06:47:25,300 --> 06:47:26,840
we can come back to you.

5357
06:47:38,060 --> 06:47:38,200
Great.

5358
06:47:38,260 --> 06:47:39,300
Let's be dumb with us.

5359
06:47:39,400 --> 06:47:39,540
It's true.

5360
06:47:39,840 --> 06:47:41,060
American citizens of here.

5361
06:47:41,580 --> 06:47:42,220
Question for terror.

5362
06:47:42,580 --> 06:47:44,260
What is the lionest rampant truck?

5363
06:47:44,860 --> 06:47:47,180
And how does that relates to your third house on Montenice

5364
06:47:47,180 --> 06:47:48,680
to drive in the city of Fed Diego?

5365
06:47:49,000 --> 06:47:51,400
Do you actually live in D3 or not?

5366
06:47:51,940 --> 06:47:53,820
Question number two for two homes manning.

5367
06:47:54,200 --> 06:47:56,500
Was that North Leftover flowers on your head yesterday?

5368
06:47:56,980 --> 06:47:58,000
Because it sure looks like it.

5369
06:47:58,780 --> 06:48:02,440
on June 5th, mental health of the first Friday breakfast at the San New Country Club in

5370
06:48:02,440 --> 06:48:07,400
Chulavista about connecting local businesses to county resources only if they paid a $27

5371
06:48:07,400 --> 06:48:12,580
entry fee for access to those county resources paid a play corruption. Then she wasted

5372
06:48:12,580 --> 06:48:17,920
her cash dollars on an egotistical logo for a crowd dub where she lied about her first name,

5373
06:48:18,140 --> 06:48:22,960
lied about being a surfer rather than the bodyboarder she used to be, and lied about ever protecting

5374
06:48:22,960 --> 06:48:24,080
are an actual environment.

5375
06:48:24,780 --> 06:48:28,900
On December 22nd, when we're all about a turkey giveaway, we are our special event trust

5376
06:48:28,900 --> 06:48:35,000
on where she gave up $754 worth of turkey to $57, SIAU members closed off to the public.

5377
06:48:35,720 --> 06:48:43,160
November 25, despite receiving $179,000 from UBW, Minulal Ploma owed $2600 to property taxes

5378
06:48:43,160 --> 06:48:45,600
and racked up $44,000 in campaign debt.

5379
06:48:46,040 --> 06:48:48,760
If you have an event, I'm very proud that someone could pay $200.

5380
06:48:48,980 --> 06:48:51,480
She'd become a friend who retires her campaign debt.

5381
06:48:51,480 --> 06:48:56,000
The show of pattern in practice, we never forget her and her dead be 30,000 credit card

5382
06:48:56,000 --> 06:48:56,760
dead if they grew up.

5383
06:48:57,120 --> 06:49:00,780
Let's look to the June 18th voice of San Diego South County report, post.

5384
06:49:01,240 --> 06:49:05,200
To provide your DNA health, a fundraiser at a downtown San Diego wine bar to help pay off

5385
06:49:05,200 --> 06:49:08,860
at least 67,000 on pay bills from her race last year.

5386
06:49:09,180 --> 06:49:13,720
Records show a year, and I spent close to $629,000 in quotes.

5387
06:49:14,200 --> 06:49:14,740
Moots for many.

5388
06:49:14,760 --> 06:49:18,880
How did you go from $44,000 to $67,000 in only seven months?

5389
06:49:18,880 --> 06:49:23,480
Why is there many paying your own bills for the $200,000 plus of your supervisor salary?

5390
06:49:23,580 --> 06:49:25,100
Maybe get a real job.

5391
06:49:25,520 --> 06:49:28,420
There was even an event as a smooth water-value civic association,

5392
06:49:28,440 --> 06:49:30,600
which will amount well-a-left before doing the pledge

5393
06:49:30,600 --> 06:49:32,160
because of course, change the America.

5394
06:49:32,960 --> 06:49:34,440
As a civically engaged in this and said,

5395
06:49:34,860 --> 06:49:36,120
you don't have the right to leave.

5396
06:49:36,200 --> 06:49:37,940
You have the wish to represent.

5397
06:49:38,420 --> 06:49:40,240
And you guys are failing miserably.

5398
06:49:40,660 --> 06:49:41,320
Have a great day.

5399
06:49:43,040 --> 06:49:43,500
Thank you.

5400
06:49:43,820 --> 06:49:44,820
We'll hear from the next call.

5401
06:49:52,960 --> 06:49:53,940
Why is the actor?

5402
06:49:54,400 --> 06:50:12,840
Yeah, I wish you guys would go to Zoom, like a city of San Diego to Zoom meetings, and that would make it a lot easier to call in and listen and everything, and even your technology person, I would have them learn how to do Bluetooth, so you wouldn't have to plug in the computer to put it up the screen.

5403
06:50:13,700 --> 06:50:23,920
If you guys just maybe hire a young guy, they could even do Bluetooth from home and put things on the screen, so it make it easier for everyone to access.

5404
06:50:23,920 --> 06:50:30,400
the meetings. And then it's kind of unfortunate you guys are taking July off, so it seems

5405
06:50:30,400 --> 06:50:37,740
like a lot of stuff happened and July is the it's white history month in July. And then

5406
06:50:37,740 --> 06:50:45,980
every other day and like the odd number of days are going to be white supremacy days. And then

5407
06:50:45,980 --> 06:50:53,620
like the first one July first is going to be examples of white supremacy and it's going to be

5408
06:50:53,620 --> 06:51:00,520
into rapping and stuff, but the best rapper in the whole world is the white guy, M&M.

5409
06:51:01,700 --> 06:51:03,600
So maybe white people are superior.

5410
06:51:04,840 --> 06:51:07,840
M&M, man, talk to any black rapper, all of them.

5411
06:51:08,060 --> 06:51:09,280
He did eat all those guys.

5412
06:51:09,980 --> 06:51:11,380
M&M is the man.

5413
06:51:12,080 --> 06:51:13,820
There's another white supremacy thing.

5414
06:51:13,880 --> 06:51:16,640
I don't know, man, but then on the second day,

5415
06:51:16,780 --> 06:51:19,660
we'll just go with the regular white hero.

5416
06:51:19,660 --> 06:51:31,080
And we'll pick out a woman to you, you'll advise, as a wife and a wife person, have your day and have your day.

5417
06:51:33,420 --> 06:51:34,920
Well, here from the next caller.

5418
06:51:42,980 --> 06:51:43,680
A couple things.

5419
06:51:43,760 --> 06:51:46,020
Did you all miss that July 27th?

5420
06:51:46,300 --> 06:51:47,020
Is Tara's birthday?

5421
06:51:47,540 --> 06:51:49,920
So, maybe that's why she wants the month off.

5422
06:51:51,000 --> 06:51:55,620
Second of all, did Paloma start a merch business with her new logo?

5423
06:51:56,260 --> 06:52:00,580
And I would love to reiterate the good news from the U.S. Supreme Court today, ruled in

5424
06:52:00,580 --> 06:52:05,700
favor of President Trump, limiting the number of asylum seekers in America, and reboking

5425
06:52:05,700 --> 06:52:08,860
the temporary status of serians, and Haitians, and others.

5426
06:52:09,460 --> 06:52:14,180
I suggest you read it, so you're educated, so you know exactly what's happening because

5427
06:52:14,180 --> 06:52:15,700
this is America's first.

5428
06:52:16,580 --> 06:52:21,060
Sadly, children continue to be under threat in this county because of the agenda of

5429
06:52:21,060 --> 06:52:23,360
and death pushed by the women on this board.

5430
06:52:23,860 --> 06:52:28,320
A Borschen kills pre-born human surgically or by the abortion pill.

5431
06:52:28,900 --> 06:52:31,740
I bet the three of you women, even though Tara's not there,

5432
06:52:32,260 --> 06:52:37,020
it's thrilled, more abortions have been committed since Roe

5433
06:52:37,020 --> 06:52:42,980
with 330,000 babies killed by the abortion pill alone.

5434
06:52:43,480 --> 06:52:45,720
And that's just maybe the numbers that are known.

5435
06:52:46,820 --> 06:52:49,180
And then bless their hearts, those babies are expelled

5436
06:52:51,060 --> 06:52:56,240
The ideology of transgenders and also threatened children is blatantly in their faces during

5437
06:52:56,240 --> 06:52:59,020
Pride Month and many other special days of the calendar year.

5438
06:52:59,420 --> 06:53:04,820
This county redefined women to include men, you know, individuals born with a penis, granting

5439
06:53:04,820 --> 06:53:11,860
them privileged position to pretend to be women and in their faces for girls and women.

5440
06:53:11,860 --> 06:53:16,260
You know, anyone can be a predator, men, women, straight,

5441
06:53:16,960 --> 06:53:19,200
tram, gay, lesbian.

5442
06:53:19,800 --> 06:53:21,760
Predator, I've been here in contextualizing

5443
06:53:21,760 --> 06:53:24,680
and grooming children by strangers or even parents

5444
06:53:24,680 --> 06:53:26,120
and people that they know.

5445
06:53:27,100 --> 06:53:30,140
And in some instances, or most instances,

5446
06:53:31,300 --> 06:53:34,520
they harm children to the point that children will not know

5447
06:53:34,520 --> 06:53:38,220
when they're being raped or how to say no, or when to seek help.

5448
06:53:38,220 --> 06:53:43,840
Rating's hospital is such a predator by committing and performing barbeque.

5449
06:53:44,860 --> 06:53:45,260
Thank you.

5450
06:53:46,140 --> 06:53:46,880
Hi

5451
06:53:53,160 --> 06:53:54,200
Natalie Rashke.

5452
06:53:54,720 --> 06:53:59,500
I just wanted to say that I'm not looking for anyone to save me.

5453
06:53:59,820 --> 06:54:04,700
When it comes to the EHVs, everybody in this city is on a weight list.

5454
06:54:04,960 --> 06:54:11,940
So there's about 358 or 85 EHV holders that will become homeless in November 30th.

5455
06:54:11,940 --> 06:54:19,320
I'm just curious when the city and the county come together and push the federal government

5456
06:54:19,980 --> 06:54:26,280
on doing these things, I was told I had 1230, so I planned my life around that, I didn't

5457
06:54:26,280 --> 06:54:27,080
create COVID.

5458
06:54:27,540 --> 06:54:32,540
I speak on behalf of a lot of people that don't have the ability to come and speak.

5459
06:54:34,440 --> 06:54:41,160
Whatever I need to do, I put myself in front of a federal government, I've been in contact

5460
06:54:41,160 --> 06:54:42,660
with Sarah Jacob's office.

5461
06:54:43,600 --> 06:54:46,140
They contacted HUD, I still haven't got a response.

5462
06:54:47,320 --> 06:54:48,300
There's no urgency.

5463
06:54:48,960 --> 06:54:51,960
On November 30th, there will be over a thousand people

5464
06:54:51,960 --> 06:54:53,420
that will become homeless,

5465
06:54:53,840 --> 06:54:56,340
and not sure if the county and the city communicate.

5466
06:54:57,540 --> 06:55:00,540
How that's going to affect the whole of San Diego.

5467
06:55:01,140 --> 06:55:01,860
Thank you.

5468
06:55:04,450 --> 06:55:04,990
Thank you.

5469
06:55:05,150 --> 06:55:06,090
We'll have for the next caller.

5470
06:55:13,820 --> 06:55:14,200
Thank you.

5471
06:55:14,340 --> 06:55:14,740
Good afternoon.

5472
06:55:14,940 --> 06:55:16,360
This is Kathleen LeBitt.

5473
06:55:16,940 --> 06:55:18,420
I'd like to talk about this.

5474
06:55:18,420 --> 06:55:25,120
two biggest problems in the United States, as far as drug use, combining alcohol and

5475
06:55:25,120 --> 06:55:25,400
pot.

5476
06:55:25,920 --> 06:55:31,040
A alcohol and marijuana industries have run a decade's long campaign of normalization

5477
06:55:31,470 --> 06:55:36,860
and the marijuana industry effort to give marijuana a better name led to public acceptance

5478
06:55:36,860 --> 06:55:40,540
of it as a natural therapeutic and even harmless.

5479
06:55:41,060 --> 06:55:47,700
Public officials prioritize potential tax revenues, incentivized by industry lobbying, and

5480
06:55:47,700 --> 06:55:52,820
lie that the potential tax revenues would compensate for the harms they don't.

5481
06:55:53,420 --> 06:55:58,440
Alcohol is the number one drug in the U.S. through which American seek treatment.

5482
06:55:58,800 --> 06:56:04,080
That combined with the increasing normalization of marijuana has led to a cluster of

5483
06:56:04,400 --> 06:56:11,100
social and physiological harms including greater and longer lasting driving impairment than

5484
06:56:11,100 --> 06:56:14,500
either drugs used separately, even in small doses.

5485
06:56:14,500 --> 06:56:20,700
Gamma Research validated that finding in their study of the co-use of cannabis

5486
06:56:20,700 --> 06:56:22,740
edibles and alcohol.

5487
06:56:25,970 --> 06:56:31,650
This phenomenon is called the normalization of deviance, and it's a phenomenon that leads

5488
06:56:31,650 --> 06:56:35,450
to the false assumption that something risky is safe.

5489
06:56:36,030 --> 06:56:42,150
Public health needs clear and evidence-based messaging of the risks of psychoactive drugs.

5490
06:56:42,150 --> 06:56:50,630
and fail you to provide that mess again has contributed to the false confidence that the risks of both these drugs are acceptable.

5491
06:56:51,350 --> 06:56:53,650
Thank you very much for letting me speak.

5492
06:56:55,610 --> 06:56:56,090
Thank you.

5493
06:56:56,370 --> 06:56:57,810
We're now here from the center of color.

5494
06:57:05,740 --> 06:57:07,300
Good afternoon Board of Supervisors.

5495
06:57:07,460 --> 06:57:14,320
My name is Terry and Scaly and I work with my county planning group on good public health and safety policies in land use decisions.

5496
06:57:14,320 --> 06:57:21,480
I read that the City of San Diego approved policies on Monday that would create a registration

5497
06:57:21,480 --> 06:57:26,960
process for pop deliveries from outside the City of San Diego that are delivering in

5498
06:57:26,960 --> 06:57:30,080
the city but are not one of the city's permitted pot shop.

5499
06:57:30,680 --> 06:57:35,240
Their new policy would include those who are permitted to operate in other jurisdictions,

5500
06:57:35,680 --> 06:57:37,880
most registered, if operating in the city.

5501
06:57:38,540 --> 06:57:43,620
However, they were speakers who said they were going to receive permits from the county and

5502
06:57:43,620 --> 06:57:49,580
did not want to register for a permit to deliver into San Diego where they live and plan

5503
06:57:49,580 --> 06:57:56,100
to deliver POP. That was a scary declaration for two reasons. Number one, it is the county

5504
06:57:56,100 --> 06:58:02,840
SECP, just another example of those who don't live out here in the unincorporate communities

5505
06:58:02,840 --> 06:58:10,300
want to come here to harm it by high profile POP shops. And number two, it may be wonder about all

5506
06:58:10,300 --> 06:58:17,300
those pot entrepreneurs who continuously tell us that they're providing a necessary service.

5507
06:58:18,060 --> 06:58:22,280
However, they don't want to abide by the rules and registration in the city of San Diego to

5508
06:58:22,280 --> 06:58:24,960
deliver pot there yet intent to deliver there.

5509
06:58:25,720 --> 06:58:31,960
That makes the public wonder if the real motive behind selling pot is just funny, which

5510
06:58:31,960 --> 06:58:35,860
has always been the motive behind selling any kind of drugs.

5511
06:58:35,860 --> 06:58:38,760
Thank you for hearing my concern this afternoon.

5512
06:58:40,940 --> 06:58:46,120
Thank you, Vice Chairman, I'm going to rest up that concludes the request for non-agenda public communication for this session.

5513
06:58:46,580 --> 06:58:46,880
Okay.

5514
06:58:47,540 --> 06:58:50,440
We will now go to close session, meeting is adjourned.

5515
06:58:50,800 --> 06:58:51,960
Thank you.

5516
06:58:52,320 --> 06:58:59,280
The Board will now recess into close session to continue consideration of the matters listed in the item 11 and IHSS.

5517
06:58:59,320 --> 06:59:01,000
One on yesterday's agenda.

5518
06:59:01,000 --> 06:59:06,360
If there are any reportable actions it would be reported after the conclusion of close session today.
