14
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,800
and Supervisor Bezman, Chair for Autemogery, Vice Chair Montgomery Staff, and Chair

15
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:23,800
Lawson Remor.

16
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,800
Here.

17
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,800
So before we begin this meeting, I'll take a moment to address and remind everyone of our

18
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,200
house rules.

19
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,280
Public engagement is the cornerstone of a transparent and accountable government, and these

20
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,280
board of Supervisor meetings are one of the primary venues where all Sandigons can make their

21
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,760
voices heard.

22
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,600
Our county is committed to a work environment free from unlawful discrimination and harassment,

23
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,800
including sexual racial religious age, disability, or any other forms of discrimination

24
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,800
or harassment.

25
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,160
Under the board's rules, speakers may not use loud, shouting, threatening, and pertinent

26
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:03,160
slenders perfane or abusive language to any member of the board, staff or the general public.

27
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,320
All remarks and questions must remain on topic during the duration of your speaking

28
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:12,680
time, and must be addressed to the board, and not to county staff.

29
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Any speaker who engages in comments that break these rules will be issued a warning.

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,400
After one warning, you will be asked to leave the chambers for the remainder of the meeting.

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Finally, speaker's starting violence may be reported to law enforcement and removed from

32
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,080
the meeting.

33
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,360
This is a space for community engagement deliberation and progress, not for harassment violence

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,360
and hate.

35
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,160
We will now proceed with non-agenda public communication.

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,560
This is an opportunity for the public to address the board and subject matters within the

37
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,200
board's jurisdiction, but not an item on the meeting agenda.

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,920
The only action we board members may take is a referral to the CAO.

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,000
Speakers may speak once per meeting for non-agenda public comment either yesterday's land use

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,320
legislative session or today's general session, but not both.

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,880
And to facilitate our meeting, we will have five non-agenda public comment speakers in person

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,840
in five by phone in the beginning of the meeting, and the remainder will be heard at the

43
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,160
close of today's session.

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,640
In order to ensure timely completion of today's agenda, for any discussion item with 10 or

45
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:19,360
more speakers, individuals will have one minute to share their opinion.

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,200
And a reminder, according to ROL4A, members of the public that are not in the speaking and

47
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,040
need interpretation assistance, received twice a lot of time for their comments.

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,720
Audit members may not whistle, clap, stump, feet, or do anything that disrupts the proceedings.

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,040
If you disrupt the meeting, you will be given one warning, and after that one warning, if

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,800
you disrupt the meeting again, you will be directed to leave the chamber for the remainder

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,800
of the meeting.

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Andrew, please call the speakers.

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Thank you, Chair Loss Nurember.

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,520
We have 28 requests to speak, a matter is not listed on the agenda.

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,600
15 individuals in person and 13 requesting to speak by phone.

56
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,080
For those that requested to speak by phone, please dial into the conference line using the

57
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,200
instructions that were provided to you.

58
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,560
We'll begin with the in-person speakers, and we'll now randomly select the first five speakers

59
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,560
in person.

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,680
All the remaining speakers will be heard at the conclusion of today's session.

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,680
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

62
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000
As your name is called, please, please, please, please, please stand on the arrows until it

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,320
is returned to speak at the podium.

64
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,320
You'll have two minutes to address the border last year to begin by stating your name for the

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,320
audio record.

66
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:26,840
I'd like to invite for the first three individuals, Shariah Adapah, Doyle Morrison, Tabland, Aruya,

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,240
and they'll be followed by the final two speakers in person, Oliver Twist and Anna.

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Have you caught your name?

69
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:45,840
Please, come forward.

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,720
Good morning, members of the board.

71
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,640
My name is Shariah Adapah, and I am currently an intern with the summer youth academy with

72
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:59,880
supervisor Monica Montgomery staff, and I wanted to address potential littering and pollution

73
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:00,880
concerns.

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:07,320
Currently, California laws make littering punishable by fines up to $1,000, yet enforcement

75
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,560
is virtually non-existent.

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,520
The burden of the cleanup falls entirely on the county, costing taxpayers millions in relative

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,120
spending and reactive spending rather than attempts to fix the problem.

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,480
Research and social behavior demonstrates that visibly neglected environments saying the signal,

79
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,000
a signal that tells people littering is the norm.

80
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,480
So I urge the board to explore community, centered solutions, particularly ones that engage

81
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,960
the youth to participate in the clansiness of their own neighborhoods.

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,160
Thank you for your time and this opportunity.

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,160
Thank you.

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,920
Next speaker, please.

85
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Hello, my name is Taitlanduria, and I'm with the supervisor of Montgomery steps summer youth

86
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,520
academy.

87
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Thank you for your time today.

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,680
I want to first acknowledge and appreciate the work this board has already been doing and programs

89
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,960
currently in place to support people experiencing homelessness, I recognize and value

90
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,680
those ongoing efforts.

91
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Homelessness is a series issue in our community, and I'm here to urge continued investment in

92
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:08,960
long-term solutions.

93
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,080
That means strengthening services like mental health care, substance use treatment, job opportunities,

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,720
and supportive services that help people regain stability.

95
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Prevention is also key.

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Rental assistance, crisis support, and outreach can help prevent homelessness before it starts.

97
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,280
Homelessness is a community issue, and it requires a continued community response.

98
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,840
I urge and encourage continues support for the existing programs champion by this board while building

99
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,000
on them to expand their impact.

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,360
Thank you for your time today.

101
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
Thank you.

102
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Thank you.

103
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,360
Next speaker, please.

104
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,840
Good morning, Board of Supervisors.

105
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:57,440
First, thank you for your time and consideration.

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,760
My name is Ana Savito, and I am with Supervisor Monica Montgomery steps summer youth academy.

107
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:08,160
I am here to urge you to continue advocating and funding solutions for the Tijuana River Valley.

108
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,880
As you know, this issue has impacted both the people who reside there and the community

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,680
surrounding this area, which raises concerns for public and environmental health.

110
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,000
advocacy won't show that this problem becomes resolved while funding can solve and prevent

111
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
future issues from rising.

112
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,120
I encourage you to continue supporting investments in wastewater treatment and infrastructure

113
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,080
improvements in order to improve and protect the communities there.

114
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,600
Thank you for your time and commitment to resolving this issue.

115
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,600
Thank you.

116
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,600
Next speaker, please.

117
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,600
Good morning.

118
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:47,880
Good morning, all of our twists.

119
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,920
First, I'm happy to see the young people developing their public speaking.

120
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,200
So thank you for that program.

121
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,200
All of our twists here.

122
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,400
I want to take a moment to celebrate something bigger than any agenda item.

123
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Happy birthday, America.

124
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:07,720
Nearly 250 years ago, this country remains one of the most extraordinary experiments in human history.

125
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:08,720
Perfect.

126
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:09,720
Absolutely.

127
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Still evolving.

128
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,120
Always.

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,960
The grounded and a promise that is drawn millions from around the world, the promise of freedom

130
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:23,800
of opportunity and of a chance to build something better for yourself, your family, and for

131
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,880
the next generation.

132
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,320
What makes this nation remarkable isn't that we've gotten everything right, far from it, it's

133
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,920
that we keep pushing forward, ever striving to become that more perfect union.

134
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,600
The rights we enjoy, the doors open to innovation and ambition, the ability to speak,

135
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,080
to build, challenge, and dream.

136
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,200
These are not guarantees found in most of the world.

137
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,000
Here they are part of the very fabric of our great nation.

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,480
So today let's celebrate that privilege, not take it for granted, and carry forward the responsibility

139
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,400
and keep strengthening it.

140
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,400
Happy birthday, America.

141
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Lastly to this chamber.

142
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,600
Getting back clapping, the happy cacophony of democracy, your double standard of allowing

143
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:13,200
clapping for your own proclamations for yourselves and your people of choosing, but not for

144
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,520
when we the people speak is not only hypocritical, it is also illegal.

145
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Please refer to in-ray K.

146
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:28,360
A clause is a form of expressive speech and a feedback mechanism that communicates levels of support.

147
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,240
We're infringing on a critical form of public input, particularly for those who might

148
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,440
be too hesitant or too shy to speak, bring back clapping.

149
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,440
Thank you.

150
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,640
Thank you.

151
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,480
Is Doyle Morrison present in the chamber not seeing him present, I'll go ahead and call the

152
00:08:48,480 --> 00:09:06,840
fifth speaker on the list, Sennaya Jamison.

153
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,400
Good morning Supervisors.

154
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,720
My name is Sennaya Jamison and I am here with Supervisor McGummery, Monica McGummery,

155
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,560
he's step summary of the academy.

156
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:21,960
I am here to speak about juvenile justice and the importance of creating assistance that

157
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:29,720
prioritized the rehabilitation of accountability and opportunity.

158
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Investing a safe environment, mentorship, education and support resources allows youth to

159
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
grow, make positive changes and contribute to stronger communication.

160
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Thank you for your time and consideration.

161
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,120
One out here from the individuals that requested to speak by phone, again, in accordance

162
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,160
of the board's rules will be hearing from the first five collars, the remaining collars will

163
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,560
be heard at the conclusion of today's session.

164
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,160
When it is returned to speak, it will be unmuted and you will hear a recording that will tell

165
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,000
you to begin your comments.

166
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:16,000
We will start with our first caller.

167
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Go Mary Davis, I'm Paul Bob, like last meeting, I'm glad to say short discussion agenda

168
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,840
not the self-serving term limit expanding charter measure was approved for the ballot, so there

169
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,280
is no need for political bluff curing right now.

170
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:43,920
It can't be regularly engages an unlawful instruction to put off disclosure of embarrassing

171
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,600
tax wasting tax payer resources to keep the public in the dark.

172
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:54,280
This interferes with our right to advise and consent.

173
00:10:54,280 --> 00:11:01,800
An act of revub looking democracy requires public participation by as many members of the public

174
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,800
as possible.

175
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,960
This is the route to getting the best ideas on how to fix the many problems and failures

176
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,960
in this county.

177
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:17,400
Most people are the US Constitution, but the California Constitution specifies an article

178
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:24,480
one section three, if the people have the right to instruct their representatives, a decision

179
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,220
government for the redorts of grievances, and a symbol for the ability to consult for the

180
00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:37,100
government, good, be the people of the right of access to information concerning the conduct

181
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:43,500
of the people's business, and therefore the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public

182
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:51,860
officials and agencies cannot be opened to public scrutiny, and since Section B7 says,

183
00:11:51,860 --> 00:11:56,800
if you have a colleague who says, you're by required to comply with the California Public

184
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,620
Curricards Act, and the Ralph M. Brown Act, and what's in a subsequent spec, you're

185
00:12:03,620 --> 00:12:07,420
currently an experimenting either act.

186
00:12:07,420 --> 00:12:14,820
That act is in this act part of the Constitution, and that's your showy rules or contrary, there

187
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:21,820
is a special challenge to do what we're doing here from the next column.

188
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:39,460
That goes slow here, the system is failing now more than ever.

189
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:49,700
We have local county, we have local county officials, really nearly throwing money at silly things

190
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:56,980
like soccer events, while their people within their districts are in need of the basics.

191
00:12:56,980 --> 00:13:01,580
This is some remains of the same, although the only difference is that it's growing more corrupt

192
00:13:01,580 --> 00:13:10,500
and sloppy, while officials have the audacity to become more arrogant as they fail at the basic

193
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:14,060
task of their rules, they play.

194
00:13:14,060 --> 00:13:19,220
We have truth tellers with the blowers, people exposing truth, being punished, some sit and

195
00:13:19,220 --> 00:13:27,100
jail, Andrea Ewing, some have gag orders on them, isn't it something the length, the system

196
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:33,980
will go in order to maintain itself, rules and laws for the, but not for me.

197
00:13:33,980 --> 00:13:37,380
That seems to be the motto of our local county government agencies.

198
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:43,700
So I was sitting thinking of what to say.

199
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:48,820
I was just reminded of how I feel as though I've said it all and already I don't mind being a broken

200
00:13:48,820 --> 00:13:53,460
record as I said yesterday, broken record, because I do realize that there are people who are

201
00:13:53,460 --> 00:13:56,300
waking up to the illusion, and that illusion is this.

202
00:13:56,300 --> 00:14:02,500
We live in a world where people look up to those who board money, who believe in a left-right

203
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:10,020
paradigm, who still believe that there are selected officials that are coming to save them.

204
00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:18,300
As I mentioned, people who hoard money while children starve, and they are not people to be admired.

205
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:22,260
They are moral failures of our society.

206
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:30,180
And just as the selected officials of our county, they too are moral failures that work and promote

207
00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:36,580
more of the globalists agenda as well, pretending to fix our county's problems instead, they are pretty good.

208
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:37,580
Thank you.

209
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:46,580
There for the next caller.

210
00:14:46,580 --> 00:14:52,820
My name is Dennis Brown, and I'm representing the state of New California, represented by Paul

211
00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:55,940
Preston, Governor of Pro Tempore.

212
00:14:55,940 --> 00:14:59,940
I dropped off this letter to the Board of Supervisors, the county written.

213
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,880
The purpose of this notice is to ask for an opportunity to address the entire board and or present a claim,

214
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:13,840
contesting the certification of any election results. At the next regularly scheduled board meeting,

215
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:21,920
I am also requesting the board direct the register of voters to respond and request for the information below.

216
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:35,840
I invite Eric tension to the California election code section 1, 6, 1, 0, 0, d, which states in part any elector of a county city or any political subdivision of either may

217
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:46,160
contest any election held there within, or any of the following causes, d, that illegal votes were cast. They have been.

218
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:56,560
Factual basis of my request is that the common knowledge that there has been a flood of illegal aliens in California. It's counties and cities, it's school districts.

219
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Those citizens have apparently been able to register with the Department of Motor Vehicles to vote with registration of these non-citizens have been provided with voter registration and election ballots.

220
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:28,240
It is also common knowledge that investigative reporters have discovered that some illegal non-citizens haven't that voted, providing these non-citizens voter registrations and election ballots gives you the members of the

221
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:35,840
Board of Supervisors and Register of voters to set aside and deny its certification is a number of illegal voters

222
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:43,040
as set forth in California election code 1, 6, 1, 0, 0, specifically so.

223
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Thank you. We'll hear from the next caller.

224
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:58,080
Good morning. My name is Becky Rapp and today I'd like to raise concerns about moving

225
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:06,480
forward with the socially equitable cannabis program. At a time when the marijuana industry is already struggling throughout our regions,

226
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,720
this recently jacks cannabis and Ramona closed the stores. The business shutdown in April,

227
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:19,200
reportedly due to taxisote. This means that one of the five existing marijuana store fronts in the unincorporated

228
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:28,160
county is no longer operating. That closure should be a warning site. If existing businesses cannot remain

229
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:34,480
financially viable, why is the county considering creating additional permits and expanding the industry?

230
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:40,880
Before launching a new program, we should first evaluate the performance of the businesses that already exist.

231
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,640
The county has spent years discussing social equity and marijuana expansion,

232
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,880
but residents still have many unanswered questions. How much public money has been spent developing

233
00:17:52,880 --> 00:18:00,320
in administering these programs? And how many existing operators are actually succeeding? How many

234
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,400
how much tax revenue has actually been generated compared to the cost of regulation enforcement

235
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:12,400
administration and program development? Before moving forward with this program, I urge the county to

236
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:18,720
provide a full accounting of all expenditures related to marijuana regulation and social equity

237
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,880
planning. The closure of jacks cannabis should be viewed as an opportunity to pause,

238
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,720
reassess, make decisions based on evidence, rather than assumptions. Thank you.

239
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,360
Thank you. Well, here from the final column this morning.

240
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:50,160
Good morning, Board of Supervisors and Riddle here. I called in to also express my concern about

241
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:59,200
the county's SECP, socially equitable cannabis program. We out here in the county unincorporated area

242
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,240
have many questions. And personally, as a health educator, a retired social worker. When I received

243
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:14,400
this latest invite to attend a webinar on Monday, I worried again. It was entitled health problems

244
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,800
from the emissions of cannabis cultivation. The three presenters are well known in their fields. The

245
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:27,520
webinar explored the often overlooked public health concern for the release of airborne toxins from

246
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:35,360
cannabis cultivation and their potential impact on the surrounding communities. This goes beyond smell,

247
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:41,760
which has also been a great concern within our unincorporated area. As we've had presentations

248
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:47,600
from the county, Santa Barbara regarding the nuisance suits that they have to handle because of the

249
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:54,640
horrible smell that cultivation created in their county. And those lawsuits are ongoing. The three

250
00:19:54,640 --> 00:20:02,240
presenters are extremely well known within the medical community. One Dr. Cohen known to me as a certified

251
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:09,120
pediatric hominologist. His specialty has always been respiratory infectious diseases, particularly

252
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:16,400
as they apply to children, and he'll be our lead presenter, was our lead presenter. We have that second

253
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:25,760
presenter, was a well known environmental attorney who supports EPA Clean Air Act rules and often

254
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:32,160
appears before them. And he has participated here in California regarding cannabis cultivation.

255
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,800
And third, but not least, again, well known here in California. As a doctorate of

256
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:47,280
biochemistry, whose work has always been in cell biology and bureauology. She's particularly concerned.

257
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,040
Chair Lossler, remember that concludes public comment on the items not listed on the agenda.

258
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,560
Again, any remaining speakers we heard at the conclusion of today's session?

259
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:04,800
Okay, thank you very much. The next item on our agenda is the approval of the minutes and statements

260
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,600
of proceedings for the flood control district. Is that correct, Andrew? We do not do that yesterday? Okay.

261
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,200
And this is for the meeting of June 9th in June 10th. The Board of Supervisors Budget Hearing

262
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,000
of June 1st, and the minutes for the concurrent special district meeting. The housing authority of June 10th,

263
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,520
the in-home support of services public authority of January 28th in June 9th, and the redevelopment

264
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,320
of the successor agency of April 21st. Is there a motion to approve all of these minutes?

265
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Okay, we have a motion from the Vice Chair, is there a second?

266
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,120
And we have a second-prime, a Supervisor Desmond. Andrew, please call the vote.

267
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,280
Chair Lossler, remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present in

268
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:56,320
what a night. Okay, great. We now proceed with the formation of the consent agenda. So this is

269
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:02,800
items 1 through 7, 15 through 17, and in-home support of services item 2, all items in the consent

270
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,840
agenda are routine and will be acted upon with one motion. Individuals can comment on the consent

271
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,640
agenda after Supervisor's pull any items they would like to pull for discussion or make any comments.

272
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,040
Wouldn't even have my colleagues like to pull any items for discussion or have comments and any

273
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,320
items from the in-home consent agenda. Vice Chair, Mark, can we step?

274
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,560
Let me make sure, nothing to pull, and I'm happy to move the consent agenda.

275
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:33,920
Okay, thank you very much. We have a motion on the floor from the Vice Chair,

276
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Chair Pertemicary, I'd like to pull item 15. Okay, we'll be pulling item 15.

277
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,560
Supervisor Anderson? I have nothing to say. Okay, Supervisor Desmond.

278
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:55,440
Thank you, Madam Chair. I have set a comment on item number 4. I want to register in no vote,

279
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,640
and item 4 I'd previously voted against this. This is the creation of the consumer fairness

280
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:06,800
protection unit within county council. The district attorney's office already handles consumer protection

281
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:13,840
and cases and if consumer protection is a priority, we should hire more people in the DA staff,

282
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:19,040
not create a duplicative department. So I'll be registering in no vote item 4.

283
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:26,160
Okay, thank you very much. We have a motion on the floor from the Vice Chair for the consent agenda.

284
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:32,480
Item 15 has been pulled and Supervisor Desmond would like to register in no vote and item 4.

285
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,360
I'm happy to second the Vice Chair's motion. We can now go to public comment.

286
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,920
Thank you, Chair Lawson. Remember before we go to public comment, I would like to note

287
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:47,680
for the record that agenda item 16 on the general legislative session consent agenda and item 2 on the

288
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,120
in-home support of services public authority consent agenda seeks approval of adjustments of the

289
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,720
compensation for the chief administrative officer, clerk of the board of supervisors, chief probation officer,

290
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:04,000
and the in-home support of services public authority, or IHSS executive director,

291
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,760
pursuant to government code section 5, 4, 9, 5, 3, 3, A prior to taking final action.

292
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,400
The legislative body shall early report the summary of a recommendation for a final action on the

293
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:20,800
salaries, salary schedules or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits of local agency executives.

294
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,280
The proposed adjustments was set the compensation at hourly rates as follows,

295
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:33,760
$270.39 per hour for the chief administrative officer, $119.23 per hour for the clerk of the board,

296
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:43,120
$144.49 per hour for the chief probation officer, and $91.13 per hour for the IHSS executive director,

297
00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:49,520
substituted to approval. These adjustments would all be effective June 26, 2026. There were no other

298
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,640
changes to the existing fringe benefits and paid legal. Clickable to these positions with that

299
00:24:54,640 --> 00:25:00,320
statement in the record. These items may remain on consent for approval. But that noted, we do have

300
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:06,080
15 total requests to speak on items on the consent agenda for individuals in person, 11, 11,

301
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,120
requesting to speak 5 phone. As a reminder, item 15 was pulled from the consent agenda for discussion,

302
00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:16,080
so any individual that requested to speak on that item, please hold your comments until the board

303
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:21,120
discusses that item. We will receive public comment on that item separately. For the phone

304
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:26,160
callers, this is the time to call in to speak on the remaining items on the consent agenda. Please download

305
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,920
the conference line now in the instructions that were provided to you. Go ahead and begin with our

306
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,160
in-person speakers as your name is called. Please come forward and stay on the arrows until it is your

307
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,560
turn to speak at the podium. You will then have two minutes to address the board. If you could please

308
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,440
begin by stating your name for the record. Also, when speaking please identify which consent agenda

309
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,160
items you were speaking on, you'd like to invite for the first three individuals, allegedly,

310
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:54,880
Audra, Natalie, Rush, Rush, and Marco Espinoza.

311
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:06,080
First of all, you should not have approved the minutes for the June 1st meeting. More terror was not here.

312
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,480
Noron, Cameron, there was no quorum. You have been sent to Kieran Correct. So, I mean,

313
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:17,600
whatever. The sheriff absolutely needs to have help with the medical care that's going on in

314
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:26,320
the jails. They're not equipped to deal with it. So, they do need to go to an outside entity that would

315
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:34,000
be able to handle the health care needs of certain individuals that are in there with the home key

316
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:40,240
program. So, I just would like to report that a woman was found to cease today at O-Lacht this

317
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:48,640
morning. That brings the deaths to 17 this year. And, you know, I'm even now like 30 or almost 40,

318
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,440
probably the entire time they've been there. I'm going to have to get a tally. But when you're talking

319
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:59,600
about putting people into homes and buying them, they can't even pay the rent. So, I mean, I think we need to

320
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,200
be kind of working with that. And that kind of leads to like, you guys are giving yourself raises

321
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,000
while people are just trying to make ends meet. I don't think any raises should be taken place,

322
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,520
especially when people who are getting such significant amounts of money are the ones to

323
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:19,680
termining the things for people who don't have anything. And like they would never be able to, you know,

324
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:25,520
have any kind of understanding of what that's like. So, all of the programs that you guys do actually

325
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:31,120
don't benefit the people that you claim that they will. And this behavioral health stuff, it's very concerning

326
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:35,760
what's going on with behavioral health because it is being used to silence people like Andrea,

327
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,960
a being deemed incompetent. Now she can be put in one of your mental facilities and totally

328
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,680
drugged up so that she doesn't continue to talk about summer stuff and in the crimes that have been perpetrated

329
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,160
against her and her children. So, it's very concerning when it is being used as a weapon. And it will

330
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:58,560
continue to be. And I'm sure you want to use it on Justin as well. So, when people are trying to get

331
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,040
changed to happen because of such a gorgeous thing, you shouldn't be silencing and using your behavior

332
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:14,480
of health unit. Next speaker called for Natalie Marco and we also have Michael Brando. You may come

333
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:28,000
forward in any order. I'm speaking to number 16 about the raises and this is in reference to

334
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:37,280
a performance evaluation. Andrew Potter actually had sent a message to Audra saying that yesterday's

335
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:46,960
video file of the meeting yesterday is complete an intact and in hole on YouTube. It is not. That means

336
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:55,040
that Andrew did not initially review Audra's request. There were skips, there were glitches, there were

337
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:01,520
stalls, there were speeches that were completely missing as if those people were not even here.

338
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:11,680
Therefore, I don't think someone who's saying something is okay and then finding out that it's actually

339
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:18,880
not based on us doing the work should get a raise. I also don't think that the CAO should get a raise

340
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:26,800
we're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars. That seat, the CAO has been enrolled in

341
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:34,080
controversy. If you remember the lawsuit involving terror loss and rumor, Claudia Silver,

342
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:43,040
Helen Robbins Meyer, Michael Vu, that these pieces, these pawns up here are put there to uphold

343
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,880
a facade and an agenda that is not the agenda for the people here on this local soil.

344
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,880
So with anything, raises should not be given.

345
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:16,000
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, she could do the job of Andrew.

346
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:24,000
The good thing is Andrew is going to remedy this situation, but it would not happen if we had not stepped forward.

347
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Thank you.

348
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Thank you. And then last call for Natalie Rask and Marco Espinoza.

349
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Okay, not seeing any movement in chambers. We will now hear from those that have requested to speak by phone.

350
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:47,000
When it is your turn to speak, you'll be unmuted. You will hear recording that will tell you to begin your comments and we will go ahead and begin with our first caller.

351
00:30:47,000 --> 00:31:04,000
All about our raises, limit them to 20 bucks an hour. See how the lowering comes to kitchen workers live for litigation authority.

352
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:18,000
What concerns me most is that this authorized is the county council to pursue litigation up the appellate chain, which couldn't involve the county in significant costs and consequences.

353
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:32,000
It all seems to me that I, the methods wrong and should be deleted. The county plays the juvenile and detention are placed by court order. The county should be responsible for the cost of that placement.

354
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Okay, eviction should specify regarding county on property like item L.

355
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:52,000
At the end, opens the door to unnecessary litigation. I agree with Jim, you know, you shouldn't open up a new department either.

356
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:06,000
This is not a dictatorship and decision whether or not to initiate litigation effect should be in higher county, not ultimately main walls, everyone of us in the consequences.

357
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:18,000
The decision there for needs to be joint decision like a vote. The board should not be advocating into authority for us folks okay.

358
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Three LBS guidelines. I'm glad that the first guidelines and voluntary detention under LBS Act constitutes a significant deprivation of civil liberties, et cetera, et cetera.

359
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:56,000
It's important for many people in government, known as mentioned, realize that they can't put someone away just because they don't agree with whatever they say, which is kind of like they independent state party where people have to sign on to whatever the county.

360
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Thank you, your time is up. We'll go ahead and go to our next speaker.

361
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:39,000
When people are experiencing homelessness, it becomes much harder to access treatment, maintain recovery, manage mental health conditions, or reconnect with family and community support systems.

362
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Substance these disorders affects not only the individual, but entire families. Children may experience trauma, instability and adverse childhood experiences that can impact their health and well being for years.

363
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Veterans and individuals living with behavioral health challenges are especially vulnerable when they lack people housing.

364
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Terminant supportive housing is an important part of the solution. Recovery and treatment are far more effective when people have a safe place to live and access supportive services.

365
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Housing provides the stability that allows individuals to focus on improving their health, speaking employment, rebuilding relationships and moving towards long-term recovery.

366
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I'm especially encouraged that this project will serve people experiencing homelessness who are living with mental health and substance use challenges.

367
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Addressing these issues together is more effective than addressing them separately.

368
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:39,000
The funky funding represents an opportunity to bring additional state resources to San Diego County while supporting some of our most vulnerable residents.

369
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:47,000
I encourage you to approve this item and continue investing in evidence-based solutions that promote health, ease, safe and thriving communities for everyone.

370
00:34:47,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Thank you. Thank you. We'll get our next call it.

371
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Our next call here.

372
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Thank you.

373
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Okay, some more raises for the out of touch.

374
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Sure, calling the shots for the ones barely surviving.

375
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,000
It's such a curse being awake and paying attention.

376
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,000
They have to call you all out.

377
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:36,000
As far as the home key program, I mean, that's going to be funded until it is proven to work, just like the project 25.

378
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:48,000
I believe that was the name of that program where it was 100% success rate and then it was defunded because it worked.

379
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
That was great.

380
00:35:50,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Nobody was benefiting from these people because they were self-sufficient and they were.

381
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,000
And they weren't in need of government assistance.

382
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:22,000
So, I mean, I mean, all these items was just, you know, but the one that really makes my blood boils, the raises, like seriously the audacity, the arrogance of you all.

383
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
And because nobody's paid attention, that's one of my nobody's paid attention.

384
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
They're out of touch.

385
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Well, imagine if all the new mothers got to bring their babies to work, mothers that chose to keep their babies because they weren't pressured by society to kill them.

386
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Yeah, it must be nice right, Tara.

387
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Oh, it could be sick.

388
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
I don't even care if there's a baby on your chest, truly.

389
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
So sad.

390
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:53,000
You are the worst of the worst girl when I will say it in front of your kids.

391
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Done.

392
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:06,000
We'll go to our next caller.

393
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Next caller is Terry.

394
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Your phone might be muted.

395
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Oh, I'm calling on some discussion item.

396
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000
I guess I'll have to call back.

397
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,000
That is correct.

398
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Yes.

399
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Okay, thanks.

400
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Good morning.

401
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,000
My name is Becky Rapp and I'd like to speak to items number one and three.

402
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:13,000
I support efforts to ensure that individuals experiencing a mental health crisis receive timely high quality care and that LPS does ignore the facility their health to strong standards of accountability.

403
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:25,000
I do have one concern regarding recommendation number two, which would allow future revisions of these guidelines to be made administratively without returning to the board for public discussions.

404
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:37,000
The behavioral health policies continue to evolve transparency and public input remain important, especially when changes may affect vulnerable individuals and their families.

405
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I would also encourage the county to consider a serious issue that is often missing from conversations about mental health treatment and that's the role of marijuana youth.

406
00:38:47,000 --> 00:39:05,000
This information is released almost daily linking high-potency marijuana youth with increased risks of psychosis, schizophrenia, depression, suicidal ideation and psychiatric hospitalizations, particularly among adolescents and young adults.

407
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Many individuals entering crisis care today are struggling with substance use and mental health conditions.

408
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
That marijuana is often overlooked as a contributing factor.

409
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:29,000
As the county updates is behavioral health policies and oversight systems, I encourage behavioral health services to collect and report data on substance use, including marijuana.

410
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Better data can help us better understand what is driving mental health crisis in our community and improve prevention efforts.

411
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Thank you.

412
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:48,000
We'll go to our next speaker.

413
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Good morning, Board of Supervisors and Riddle.

414
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:00,000
I called in to speak to item three and 16 which I realized you called an IAO-2.

415
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:12,000
16 and IAO-2 have to do with an increase in salary and kind of upjust to the euphonism of adjustment in compensation.

416
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
Could we just say a raise in salary?

417
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:22,000
I think that would be the optics of using that type of terminology, but adjustment isn't fair to the public.

418
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:45,000
I concerned about three years one I supported having had to use this within a family member which is the idea behind it is to strengthen the requirements associated with bringing those involuntarily to mental health services.

419
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
The face of it is the terminology is scary.

420
00:40:49,000 --> 00:41:02,000
The goal behind it is excellent, however, and you hear about it all the time from families who have individuals who are psychotic and definitely incapable of making it decision for themselves to seek mental health.

421
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
And so we need a family to have this opportunity.

422
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:14,000
I echo the previous speaker's concern in the case of my family member whose psychotic emphasis was caused by marijuana.

423
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:25,000
And I just think we're giving cannabis the spotlight it needs regarding what happens to our people in our counties who are using both in suicide.

424
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,000
The idea is to accomplish suicide rates are higher and psychotic breaks.

425
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:40,000
It's a very difficult kind of family to watch that marijuana use create that situation and people to create marijuana is so privilegedly it is not.

426
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:47,000
And I wish we could see more recommendations, recognition within the behavioral health services for its role.

427
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:54,000
And I agree that more data collection needs to happen so we can understand its role in the services.

428
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Thank you. Your time is up. We'll go to our next caller.

429
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Hey, it's truth item one Medicaid for criminal transit to taxpayers funding healthcare for criminals.

430
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
If only the death penalty was a thing again, the county could really save money.

431
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,000
I didn't see the home key program is one of the biggest fraud in the state.

432
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,000
The white man is one of the biggest profitors off of the fraud.

433
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:29,000
Yet another $20 million for the public private fashion partnership to get rich quick using the taxpayers dime.

434
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,000
I didn't bring the county crazies crown themselves the queens of the crazies in charge of street crazies.

435
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Isn't it crazy how that means the real inmates are actually running the asylum.

436
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Here is all about stealing money via frivolous lawsuits using we the people's tax dollars example she had many flow.

437
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:55,000
They're exploiting sushi chefs to extort profits from Japanese companies all to justify their occupation of the DA while refusing to investigate wonderful.

438
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Kessa for labor exploitation and human trafficking.

439
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,000
I know five online filing is now available for many future unpaid property tax bills.

440
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Future because she has a nasty habit of expecting everyone else to pay her debt.

441
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:15,000
I didn't $16, $119 an hour for Andrew to sit there and say next speaker please.

442
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,000
Wow, he does that for e-mails back, I'll give him that.

443
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:25,000
$207 an hour for Ebony to sit there and smile while the county burns down in debt and corruption.

444
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Not all raises.

445
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:39,000
I'm 17 the county and the city of S. Condito have obviously decided east Valley Parkway is now a stack impact jumping ground to a benefit of the sendo community housing corporation and the national community renaissance of California.

446
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,000
The housing court is owned by the tender housing commission Monica's old buddy.

447
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,000
They don't need a bailout as they have $25 million in assets and $5.3 million in revenues.

448
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,000
They're CEOC or Miyajara make $323,000 a year.

449
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,000
National court is over 10,000 apartments, a hundred and ten properties and 1.3 billion in assets.

450
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,000
They don't need our help either.

451
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Their CEOC punta was zero experience in housing using overpaying.

452
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,000
It's open to funds for Hawaii Institute that works on viruses.

453
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Note all grits approved by psychotic grister.

454
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Thank you.

455
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,000
Your time is up. We'll go to our next speaker.

456
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Director.

457
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Matt, what a racket you guys got going on.

458
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,000
That sounds like a racket.

459
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,000
I want to comment on once you're seven.

460
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Anybody associated with any of these programs.

461
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,000
We need to check their legal status.

462
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,000
The people that work there and the people that are given money to.

463
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,000
No money to illegal.

464
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,000
And no.

465
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,000
We've got to give money or hold the count of two.

466
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,000
You have illegal guys getting some kind of benefit or money.

467
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,000
The guys that give them that money have got to be held accountable.

468
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
And so I'm just being in the dark about it.

469
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,000
And then the last.

470
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Yesterday, they had that automation about them. The immigrant thing, why don't you put legal immigrant in front of it?

471
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:18,000
With having these immigrants that are illegal, the immigrants that are legit, they're not legitimate immigrants, they can't hear elderly.

472
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:29,000
And so, you guys were molding that stuff, just because you're sitting in San Diego town doesn't mean you're an American citizen or deserve the benefits.

473
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
So, you've got to have some integrity.

474
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:41,000
And then about the only one thing you should be doing now is focusing on the sewer plant down at Tijuana.

475
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:54,000
While all those are in our side, all the people are breathing that air, all the Mexican kids, the poor kids, the white poor kids down there, they're sucking the sewer gas every day.

476
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,000
It's unavoidable.

477
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:05,000
And you guys got no intention of, where's the plant? Where's the plant? Where's the plant? Where's it?

478
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:13,000
You guys got one drawn up? Yeah, it starts with a plant. You got to get the plant and then you got to start getting the money. What are you doing it?

479
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Out of the Mexicans down there build a thing.

480
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Which is unacceptable, Matt. On fire's road, the other day they're opening up the sewer line down and make the hookups.

481
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,000
I've cooked a whiff of that stuff on my bike.

482
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Thank you. Your time is up. We'll go to our next speaker.

483
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Pam. Let's see. Number one.

484
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:45,000
This medical treatment should be restricted only to immediate care not for elected treatment such as anything.

485
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Trams.

486
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Onke is a fraud. Number three.

487
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Beware everybody. And look at the people on this board. The buck stops with them.

488
00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Over see in the San Diego County Psychiatric Institution and Mental Health Treatment of People living in this county.

489
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Parents be familiar with state law AB665, a minor who is 12 years of age or older may consent.

490
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:16,000
May consent without your awareness to mental health treatment counseling as an outpatient or in a residential facility without an exit clause.

491
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Number 16. Nope. No salary adjustments.

492
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Don't know how anyone works for the county and good conscience. Oh yeah. Money and benefits. Not for the public good.

493
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:32,000
17. Nope. Affordable housing is a lie. Let me just define what AI says.

494
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:38,000
A ghetto is a section of a city where a minority group lives usually do a social legal or economic pressure.

495
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:47,000
The term originate in the 1500s believe it or not in to describe a segregated area for Jewish people in Venice, Italy.

496
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:53,000
But it has evolved over time to encompass several distinct historical and modern meanings.

497
00:47:53,000 --> 00:48:02,000
In contemporary usage, ghetto often describes impoverished inner city neighborhoods primarily inhabited by racial and ethnic minority, particularly in the United States.

498
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,000
So there's your stack and tax of affordable housing.

499
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Thank you. We'll go to our next speaker.

500
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,000
Good morning supervisors.

501
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,000
John Bernie with lived experience advisors.

502
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:35,000
I am calling to speak on the items related to housing and behavioral health and jails.

503
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,000
I am always well as the salary issues.

504
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:45,000
I am concerned to see the salaries not listed in dollars and cents in clear annual terms.

505
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:50,000
So it really people understand the sheer numbers that we're talking about here.

506
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,000
All of these salaries are well over a hundred thousand dollars here.

507
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Some in the multitudes of that.

508
00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,000
I would echo that this is very concerning given where we're headed as in our economy.

509
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Now as to behavioral health and jails.

510
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:16,000
As you know, the new good day center is formally going to be closed by the city of San Diego as of December of this year.

511
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:23,000
I'm asking the county take over this facility for public health and behavioral health reasons.

512
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:37,000
This facility offers the only nine-stall or ten-stall male, female bathroom facility with sinks in all of downtown for people experiencing homelessness.

513
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:43,000
It is a loss of more than half of the entire public bathroom offerings in downtown.

514
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:47,000
As you know, we've had multiple public health outbreaks.

515
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:55,000
It is also responsible for providing laundry as well as a place to wash your personal items and most critically.

516
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:03,000
It is the only place that any homeless individual could go during the day time and be unmelested by police or anyone else.

517
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,000
This is a safe space for women who are cannot sleep during the day.

518
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:16,000
We offer to operate the facility at expanded hours, 12 hours a day, seven days a week, for $900,000 a year.

519
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:23,000
That's got to be the best investment you could make today.

520
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Thank you.

521
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:31,000
And with that, Chair Lawson remember that concludes public comment on the items on the consent agenda.

522
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Okay, thank you very much.

523
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,000
We have a motion on the floor by a superintendent. Can we step a second by myself?

524
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,000
I suppose a jury has some comments.

525
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,000
Yeah, just a quick comment on a project home key.

526
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:49,000
I just want to thank Wakland Housing and the City of Chilovista for their partnership on this grant application even though it's still pending.

527
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:56,000
It's going to bring significant amount of units to district one that continues to seek critical need for affordable housing.

528
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Thank you.

529
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Thank you very much.

530
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:07,000
We have a motion of for in a second or a reminder that item 15 has been pulled and the supervisor doesn't deserve to be a no vote and item four.

531
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Please go ahead and vote.

532
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,000
And Chair Lawson remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present voting aye.

533
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
And again, noting for the record supervisor.

534
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Desmond voted no on item four.

535
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:33,000
Okay, we will now begin with our most central item for today of which is our budget.

536
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:42,000
This is items eight nine FL one, IHSS one, RSA one, FP one and S a one.

537
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:48,000
These are all our budget adoption discussion items which will be held concurrently.

538
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:56,000
These are all for vote items and we have county team presentation that we will hear first.

539
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Then we will take a moment if there's any you know particular questions on the presentation then we'll do public comment.

540
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,000
And then we'll have an opportunity for board discussion.

541
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000
So please.

542
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Thank you.

543
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Go ahead and enter.

544
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Thank you.

545
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Okay.

546
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,920
Our items eight and nine on the Board of Supervisors General Legislative Agenda, item one and

547
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,520

548

549
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,840
deliberation and adoption of the operational plan.

550
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,240
These items will be heard concurrently acted on with one motion should you desire to do so.

551
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:36,600
On May 18th, 2026, the Chief Administrative Officers recommended operational plan for fiscal

552
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:42,880
years 2026 through 2028 was released, budget hearings began on Monday, June 1, 2026 with members

553
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:47,240
of the public being given the opportunity to provide oral and written testimony.

554
00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:50,200
Budget hearings concluded on June 11th at 5 p.m.

555
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,400
All comments received on the operational plan have been provided at the board to

556
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,240
meet available online.

557
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:58,960
Today's actions request that the Board consider the change letter and ultimately approve

558
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:03,560
the resolutions adopting the budget for the county of San Diego, county service areas, community

562
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,960
With that noted, I'll turn it over to Chief Financial Officer Joan Pratchee.

563
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:18,960
Thank you.

564
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,120
Good morning, Chair Lassumer and members of the Board.

565
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:26,400
Today we are presenting the fiscal year 2627 revised Chief Administrative Officers recommended

566
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,800
operational plan for the board to consider.

567
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,240
Last month we presented to you the CAO recommended operational plan which reflects the enormous

568
00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:40,240
efforts through the organization to deliver a budget that is balanced and physically sound.

569
00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:45,240
Having services for the public that residents can rely on today and into the future,

570
00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:50,160
advancing county priorities, reflecting community voices, and evolving needs.

571
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:55,200
The budget is driven by our values, including critical safety net services, as well as behavioral

572
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,760
health and public health support.

573
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:02,320
It makes our region a better place to live, work, and play with major investments in public

574
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:06,800
safety and fire protection, roads, parks, and libraries.

575
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,200
The budget supports sustainability through open space and agricultural protection, new

576
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:16,160
collaboration to identify long-term solutions in the Tijuana River Valley, and green building

577
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,480
practices.

578
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,920
This budget aims to preserve important resources for generations to come on all fronts, while preparing

579
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:27,560
for an uncertain and dynamic environment in the upcoming fiscal year.

580
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:32,240
Since the release of the recommended budget, staff have developed some revised budget recommendations

581
00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:37,040
through the CAO's change letter, which was released last week at the close of the budget

582
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:43,120
hearing period, we'll briefly cover those changes today, which are based on information received

583
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,760
by departments since the release of the recommended budget and what we heard during the public

584
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:50,480
hearing period.

585
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:55,520
Together, the recommended operational plan and the subsequent change letter culminate into the

586
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:59,440
revised recommended operational plan presented to you today.

587
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,840
This plan, which includes the budget for the upcoming fiscal year, represents a coordinated

588
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:09,120
effort across the entire organization, 20,000 workers strong.

589
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:13,880
As we recalibrate and align staff and resources to navigate changing state and federal requirements

590
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:18,840
in funding and leverage county resources in innovative ways while maintaining essential

591
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:24,040
support, it reflects a detailed look at available funding sources both locally and at the

592
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,800
federal and state level.

593
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:31,680
And to ensure the county is maximizing resources, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the county

594
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:38,240
employees who pursue and administer the myriad funding sources available to the county, maximizing

595
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,720
revenue for our region, helping to steward public resources and keep services running.

596
00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:48,040
This budget is the product of the ongoing planning that happens throughout our organization

597
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,400
all year.

598
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,800
From the county's capital planning, which looks at county facility needs over the long term, and

599
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:58,280
is annually presented for the board's consideration and accession, this amount will fluctuate

600
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:03,360
from year to year and is based on our annual long-term capital planning process.

601
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,480
This year's budget includes funding for a new behavioral health-bombless campus, a sheriff

602
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,800
station in Ramona, planning and design funding for replacement of the sheriff's attention

603
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:16,120
facility in Vista, and important maintenance of our facilities.

604
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:20,800
This budget aims to provide programs and services that make meaningful differences for our residents

605
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:26,200
in every corner of this county, with this in mind, we navigate a changing economic conditions

606
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:31,960
and evolving community needs in partnership with this board, departments, labor partners,

607
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,520
and stakeholders.

608
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:38,280
That collaboration and vision for meeting future needs strength in this plan and the outcomes

609
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:44,240
that supports ensuring we maintain the hallmarks of county, fiscal stewardship with ongoing structural

610
00:56:44,240 --> 00:56:50,640
balance, stability, and flexibility as recognized in the county's strong credit ratings.

611
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:54,160
The budget before the board is balanced, and it is reflective of the financial management

612
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,760
practices that define how we plan as an organization.

613
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:02,400
We don't operate at a deficit, meaning we don't plan to spend more than what we have.

614
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,440
A balanced budget, and healthy reserves, reflect the strong management and policies that sets

615
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,400
the foundation for the county's fiscal health.

616
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,800
Separate apart from the reserves, the board has set aside general fund balance, specifically,

617
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,200
to provide a buffer in a changing policy landscape.

618
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:23,600
That amount of fund balance recall unlock reserves, providing time to respond and to

619
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:29,080
recalibrate to steadily manage the services our communities rely on, and to manage the county's

620
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,160
long-term ongoing cost structure.

621
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:37,040
I want to thank each of our supervisors and our governing board as a collective for your leadership

622
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,520
in serving the residents of this region.

623
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:44,760
I want to thank members of the public, our communities for their thoughtful input and collaboration

624
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,360
all year long.

625
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:51,840
Today's presentation will briefly review the revised CAO budget recommendations and highlight

626
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:57,480
considerations that are top of mind as we enter into fiscal year 2627 and plan for the years

627
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:58,480
beyond.

628
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:02,480
I'll now turn things over to Amy Thompson, Deputy Chief Financial Officer.

629
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:03,480
Thank you, Joan.

630
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:08,560
Today, we're presenting the revised recommended budget, which reflects updates through the CAO

631
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,600
change letter.

632
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:16,840
The revised recommended budget now totals $9.16 billion, an increase of $3.8 million

633
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:23,920
from the CAO recommended budget, and adds one staff year for a total of 20,390 staff plan

634
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,120
to serve our communities.

635
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,280
This budget maintains essential services and reflects what we heard throughout the year from

636
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:34,200
residents, partners, employees, and the sport.

637
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:40,120
It is values driven, community informed, and focused on delivering real results.

638
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:45,800
The change letter makes small adjustments to the CAO recommended operational plan by proposing

639
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,400
in the sheriff's office, additional funding, and one more position for increased law enforcement

640
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:57,640
services, and grant funded services to help re-entry success of justice involved adults.

641
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:03,240
In land use and environment, added funding for road improvements and updated wastewater utility

642
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,720
charges in the Department of Public Works.

643
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:12,400
To continue transitioning behavioral health services, we plan to shift staff and associated

644
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:19,240
costs from the health and human services agency to behavioral health services and human resources.

645
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,800
Re-aligning functions without adding net positions.

646
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:28,080
The majority of transfers were included in the CAO recommended operational plan, and the subsequent

647
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:33,680
action reflects further work on the transition that continued into May.

648
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:39,800
Lastly, funding is proposed to extend the Moss Fresco Plus program, increasing access to fresh

649
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:48,320
fruit and vegetables, and to fund a feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development.

650
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:53,840
This slide summarizes the total revised recommended budget compared to prior adopted budgets,

651
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,720
including the changes that were just described.

652
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,960
For fiscal year 2627, the CAO's revised.

653
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Overall, growth reflects focused investments in behavioral health, public safety, safety net programs, infrastructure, and support for the county's workforce.

654
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:20,000
This slide shows the budget reflecting behavioral health services separate from the health and human services agency based on recent reorganization.

655
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:32,000
The revised recommended budget was shaped by engagement with stakeholders and the county's priorities amidst the environment of changing economic conditions, changing service demands and organizational transformation.

656
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:42,000
To get here, we've looked closely at emerging needs evaluating what's working and recalibrating budget strategies to best serve our region.

657
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:53,000
This year's budget, before the board reflects those efforts and represents a balanced approach that maintains services while supporting needs that matter most to communities.

658
01:00:53,000 --> 01:01:06,000
As mentioned, the revised recommended budget supports 20,390 staff and increase of 109 positions, or about half a percent from the current year's adopted budget.

659
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:15,000
The revised recommended budget increases by one staff year to support law enforcement services requested by the city of this step.

660
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Overall, this modest growth is targeted and strategic, leveraging centralization and reorganization efforts to reduce the application and to maximize efficiency, allowing the county to focus and appropriate level of staff, where they're needed the most to address expanding or changing county responsibilities.

661
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:44,000
The additions primarily support areas of growth including safety net services, consumer protection, and the county's responsibilities under Proposition 36.

662
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:51,000
These increases were carefully balanced with reductions achieved through vacant positions and through attrition.

663
01:01:51,000 --> 01:02:05,000
As in the prior slide, the slide displays behavioral health services separately and reflects realignment from countywide centralization efforts included in the CAO recommended operational plan to improve efficiencies.

664
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:15,000
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.

665
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:25,000
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.

666
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:33,000
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.

667
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:40,000
Decisions and policy changes made at those levels directly affect county resources and are associated duties.

668
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:46,000
The state of California is currently finalizing its fiscal year 2627 budget.

669
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Throughout this process, we continue to advocate for sustainable funding for key community supports including funding to implement the federal changes under HR1 and new state requirements of Proposition 36.

670
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:10,000
We also continue to advocate for funding to address homelessness, mobile crisis response teams, and home support of services or IHSS, and to tackle the Tukwana River Valley pollution crisis.

671
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:16,000
The state has a challenging economic outlook that we're committed to ensuring the county's voice is heard.

672
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:22,000
At the federal level, budget development continues towards a new federal fiscal year beginning October 1.

673
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Given the upcoming midterm elections and the current dynamics in Washington, there's some likelihood of another federal government shutdown.

674
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,000
If necessary legislation isn't approved by September 30th.

675
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:49,000
We continuously monitor developments in Sacramento and Washington DC and work closely with you so that significant policy changes are considered and built into development of the county budget throughout robust long-term financial planning process.

676
01:03:50,000 --> 01:04:01,000
This includes anticipating and planning for capital projects, including the board's annual approval of the capital improvement needs assessment or seen a looking at essential needs.

677
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:12,000
The county's fiscal stewardship and ongoing planning positions the county to take on new challenges ensuring funds are available to help and emergencies while maintaining our core duties.

678
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:19,000
Local economic conditions are always changing, requiring constant management and updating the financial planning and decision-making.

679
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:27,000
This annual recalibration and response to these important considerations forms the basis of our work on the budget.

680
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:32,000
And of course also significant is the feedback we hear from the community.

681
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:36,000
The residents share feedback year-round and we use it to shape budget priorities.

682
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:44,000
During the budget development process we reach residents and the ways they told us works best for them through digital tools on engage San Diego county.

683
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Pop-ups that live well centers focus groups community meetings and public hearings.

684
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:56,000
For the first time we partnered with community-based organizations to lead focus groups in all eight threshold languages.

685
01:04:56,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Bringing in voices historically underrepresented in county processes.

686
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Clear accessible communications supported all engagement efforts, including the budget website and county news center,

687
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Insight social media, email and more ensuring residents have the necessary information to participate meaningfully.

688
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:20,000
More than 2,400 participants provided more than 2,200 pieces of feedback on this budget,

689
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:27,000
highlighting a range of community priorities service needs preferred investments and communication and engagement preferences.

690
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:34,000
A copy of comments on the budget from community members has been shared with the board for budget deliberations.

691
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Today's item asks the board to take several actions that finalize the fiscal year 2627 budget.

692
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:50,000
We're asking the board to approve the CAO's operational plan change letter and adopt the fiscal year 2627 budget resolutions.

693
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:55,000
We're also asking the board to authorize the carry forward of prior year in conferences,

694
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:00,000
which ensures funding remains in place for commitments that are still in progress.

695
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:08,000
And finally we request adoption of a reimbursement resolution which will allow the county to reimburse eligible costs with future bond proceeds.

696
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:21,000
Together, these actions complete the board's budget adoption process, ensuring that the county has the authority and flexibility needed to continue delivering critical services and support for the community in the year ahead.

697
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Moving towards a vision of a just sustainable and resilient future for all.

698
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,000
I'll turn it back over to Joan.

699
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,000
Okay, thank you Amy.

700
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:36,000
The county team has taken a thoughtful, collaborative approach working with the community and other stakeholders to prioritize critical services.

701
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:46,000
Streamline operations and proposed solutions that are responsive to the needs of our region today, while ensuring financial stability and flexibility for the road ahead.

702
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:54,000
This budget is the product of the hardworking members of the county team, including the program groups into the leadership of the general managers.

703
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Department heads in the many experts across our departments who have generously shared their knowledge of the services we provide and innovative ways to deliver them more effectively, including our mighty deputy CFOs and finance directors,

704
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Department finance staff and the office of financial planning.

705
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:20,000
We are also grateful for the partnership of elected officials who lead a dedicated workforce including the assessor reporter County clerk, district attorney, sheriff and treasure tax collector.

706
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:26,000
And at the heart of all, we value the many community members, the people we serve who make time to share their voices.

707
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:31,000
Engagement throughout the year matters and it is reflected in what is before the board today.

708
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,000
We remain committed to working together to meet today's needs and build a stronger future for this region.

709
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:41,000
Subject to your questions, this concludes this death presentation.

710
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,000
Thank you so much.

711
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,000
Any quick questions from my colleagues before we go to public comment?

712
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Okay, let's go to public comment, thank you.

713
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Thank you chair, last and remember we have 56 request to speak on these items 43 in person and 13 requesting to speak by phone.

714
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Also note for the record that we received 40 e comments, 36 in support, two in opposition and one neutral.

715
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:10,000
For any individuals that requested to speak on the operational plan items that, again, those are items eight and nine in the special district items.

716
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:15,000

718
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:24,000
Because there are ten and more speakers on the side of me, I'll one minute to address the board.

719
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,000
And the last get a please begin by stating your name for the audio record.

720
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:32,000
I'll be calling you in groups of three, so ask you to please listen for your name.

721
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:35,000
Like to invite for the first three individuals.

722
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Nicole Lily.

723
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,000
Lilyana and Louise Guetta.

724
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,000
If I have caught your name, please come forward.

725
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,000
Louise Guetta.

726
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,000
Good morning supervisors.

727
01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,000
My name is Louise Guetta.

728
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
A district one resident representing the immigrant offenders law center.

729
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:10,000
I'm here to urge you to approve the 13.2 million needed to fully fund the immigrant legal defense program.

730
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:16,000
As one of the largest immigrant legal service providers in California, we've seen the man search.

731
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:22,000
In the past year alone, we received over 3500 calls, but could only represent 300 individuals.

732
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,000
The need for exceeds our capacity.

733
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,000
The legal support we provide is a lifeline.

734
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Our immigration system is complex and often on just what limited access to due process.

735
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:38,000
No one should be separated from their family simply because they lack legal representation.

736
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:44,000
ILVP ensures people have a fair chance to be heard protected and remain with their loved ones.

737
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,000
We respectfully urge you to advance invest in ILVP.

738
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Thank you.

739
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,000
Thank you.

740
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Next speaker, please.

741
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,000
I'll go ahead and call additional speakers.

742
01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Nayelle Castillo Center, Sun to Ario, Patricia Mondragon.

743
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,000
Hey, Sue Spantine, Gae, Gosponios.

744
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,000
Have a call to name. Please come forward.

745
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000
Hello. Sorry. My name is Nicole Lily.

746
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000
I'm the executive director of our time to act.

747
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:22,000
We are a youth-led 501-C3 nonprofit organizing powerful youth for an inclusive equitable and sustainable future.

748
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:29,000
I'm here to urge this county to prioritize people in this budget and follow the recommendations of the community budget alliance.

749
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
We are in a very difficult time in San Diego and across the country.

750
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,000
People are being abandoned. Our basic needs are not being met.

751
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:46,000
And it is more critical in this budget cycle and in our local governments that are county and city show up for our people.

752
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:54,000
And make sure that we close the gaps in healthcare and in housing and in all of the services that are so essential to everyone's daily lives.

753
01:10:54,000 --> 01:11:09,000
So I strongly urge this body to adopt the recommendations of the community budget alliance and also support the partnership for the advancement of new Americans asks as well.

754
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:12,000
Thank you so much for your time.

755
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Thank you.

756
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Next speaker, please.

757
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Good morning.

758
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:23,000
My name is Nayelle Castillo, Sun to Ario and I'm an office assistant at the Mighty Metro Family Resource Center here in downtown.

759
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Which is sister offices with the center city on 12th and Imperial.

760
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:34,000
The new 100 human services specialists will greatly help our operations but we also need more office assistance.

761
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:43,000
And may of this year we received over 800 walk-in applications but we only had between two and nine office assistance available at any time to register those applications.

762
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:52,000
The walk-in applications combined with the online applications totaled over 3200 with over 2,300 of those passing the initial screening and being referred for scheduling.

763
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,000
This is not a typical.

764
01:11:54,000 --> 01:12:01,000
We received thousands of applications each month but we only have between 20 and 30 intake workers consistently available to conduct interviews.

765
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Having adequate staffing would reduce the stressful workloads of our OAs and HSSs which would reduce the number of errors being made which would reduce the extended wait times that some customers experience.

766
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:13,000
Please help us help our community.

767
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Thank you.

768
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,000
Thank you.

769
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Go ahead and call three additional speakers.

770
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,000
Again, if I call you name please come forward and line up on the arrows.

771
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Vanessa Melendrez.

772
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:23,000
As me.

773
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Contero Kubion.

774
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,000
Grady O'Brien.

775
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,000
How do supervisors?

776
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:41,000
My name is Ed's man.

777
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:42,000
I'm a resident of D4.

778
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:49,000
I'm an organizer for SC Pride and a member of the LGBTQI plus regional table in the community budget alliance.

779
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
I'm speaking in support of the adoption of the county budget.

780
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,000
That fills the gap of our federal government has left us.

781
01:12:55,000 --> 01:13:02,000
Specifically means supporting the inclusion of the UID, the ILDP and the eviction diversion program.

782
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:11,000
In the most recent U.S. trans survey, 8% of trans people were identified to be unemployed with close to 70% experiencing some form.

783
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Of job discrimination.

784
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:22,000
With that in mind, please fund the services that help not only prevent our eviction, but also maintain a sense of economic justice with trans people in mind.

785
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000
I would also like to shout out Pana's ask as well.

786
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Please support all of them.

787
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,000
Thank you so much.

788
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,000
Thank you.

789
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,000
Next speaker is coming forward.

790
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000
I'm going to invite three additional speakers.

791
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,000
Ashley McCollog.

792
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Huxley, Sundari, and Karina Pue.

793
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,000
I've called your name, please.

794
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,000
Good morning.

795
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:46,000
My name is Grady O'Brien and I live in District 4 and I'm an intern with students for economic justice.

796
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:53,000
I'm a San Diego City College graduate now heading to a 4 year university and I urge you to support the feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development.

797
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Are you deserve support and access to a future that treats them with care and love?

798
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:02,000
If we want those values to be reciprocated back into our community, we need to put them into our youth first.

799
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Giving more money to the sheriff does not make people feel safer.

800
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,000
Thank you.

801
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Thank you.

802
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Next speaker, please.

803
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Good morning.

804
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Board of Supervisors.

805
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,000
My name is Ashley McCollog.

806
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:21,000
I live in District 4 and I'm a college student currently in turning with the Center on Policy Initiatives.

807
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,000
I strongly support this revised budget in item number 8.

808
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:31,000
Specifically, the investment of a $250,000 feasibility study to explore the creation of the city.

809
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:41,000
My environment growing up could have pushed me down the wrong path, but thanks to mentors with the my community.

810
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:43,000
I'm standing here today.

811
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:50,000
Culturally relevant, trauma-informed community-led care and services is how San Diego can ensure the future of our youth.

812
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,000
Because young people in San Diego County deserve care.

813
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,840
And not criminalization or confinement. I'd like to thank the youth advocates and the community

814
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:11,440
organizations to help push for this investment and youth. I'd lastly like to thank Supervisors

815
01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:18,840
Monica Montgomery Step and Ploma Geary for their commitment to a safer and healthier communities.

816
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:23,440
Their leadership reminds us change is important and shows our youth their voices matter.

817
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:35,280
Good morning, Board of Supervisors. My name is Huxley Alexander Cidery and I live in District 1 in

818
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,840
Ohio. I'm here with the Center of Policy Initiatives and I'm accompanying the community budget

819
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:44,240
alliance. As a student and someone who aims to be a youth organizer, I've seen how many people in

820
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:48,560
communities I have lived in across California such as Palm Desert and here are trying to build

821
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,560
stable lives while dealing with immigration fears and a lack of accessible support.

822
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:58,000
Such is why I urge you to approve the recommended budget, especially the immigrant legal defense program.

823
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:04,000
As a key boarder city, it is our duty to welcome those seeking asylum, safety, and citizenship by meeting

824
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:10,000
anyone where they are at in the legal process of that comes when navigating a status here.

825
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:14,480
The right to do process applies to every person in U.S. jurisdiction and requires in its

826
01:16:14,480 --> 01:16:18,800
need to help those in the system, which is why I urge the county to expand funding 13 million

827
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:23,440
to meet the high demand the service provides. I urge you to care for human beings looking to build upon

828
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:27,760
the American dream we have sold the world for 250 years. Thank you.

829
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:34,160
Thank you, as the next speaker is coming forward on Vite 3 additional speakers, and as does

830
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:42,800
you, check us, check St. Coena, Grace Hardy, and Gladys Dougadillo. Good morning, Supervisors.

831
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:47,440
My name is Karina Pue, my pronouns are she, her, and I'm here today on behalf of the San Diego LGBTQ

832
01:16:47,440 --> 01:16:53,520
Community Center and a member of the San Diego LGBTQIA plus regional table and our community budget

833
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:58,720
alliance. Today we're asking you all to vote and support of our most vulnerable neighbors in San Diego.

834
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:04,720
Many LGBTQ plus folks flee their countries here to escape homophobia, transphobia, and other

835
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:09,920
persecution. Our entire immigrant community deserves access to due process, so we're asking the

836
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:15,280
county to adopt a budget with a full allocation to the ILDP. In addition, please fund programs like

837
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:20,160
the eviction diversion program, the Department of Youth Development, and nutrition security as well as

838
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:24,800
our partner Paners asks. These are all programs that will just better disproportionately access

839
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:30,000
by our LGBTQ plus communities as our communities overrepresented among many of these underserved

840
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,560
populations. The budget must be a document that reflects equitable investments into our San Diego

841
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:45,120
region. Thank you. Hello, I'm Grace Hardy and intern with Children First San Diego and a district

842
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:50,080
three resident. I first want to thank you for supporting Healthy Development Services and funding

843
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:54,160
discussions, especially with tobacco settlement funds and being open to learning more about the

844
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:59,120
decline of prevention and early intervention services for kids in San Diego. My families live in

845
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:04,160
San Diego after moving many times. My dad is active duty in the Navy, so I've been in San Diego and

846
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:09,760
out of San Diego and I've come back again in about a million times. I grew up overseas, both in the United

847
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:15,040
States and on different bases internationally, and I could tell growing up the communities and

848
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:20,800
countries that prioritize kids were fun and secure, and now that I'm old enough to reflect on my upbringing,

849
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:24,640
I realize that those communities were also sustainable. I speak to you with concern regarding the

850
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:29,200
lack of prioritization and funding for kids, especially regarding their safety and health. For example,

851
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:33,280
as I'm sure you're aware, there has been a decline in program revenue for first five San Diego as the

852
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:39,680
funding reliance on attacks on tobacco, which people are just simply buying less of. In 2016 and 2017,

853
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:45,440
the operating budget for first five San Diego was right under $43 million, and the $2026 to $27 budget

854
01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:52,400
is right at $26 million. Not only is it not a lot. Yeah, thank you. Thank you.

855
01:18:55,280 --> 01:19:00,480
Good morning. My name is Gladys Delgothio and I live in Escondido. This county has identified

856
01:19:00,480 --> 01:19:06,240
a $300 million need to protect the natural lands that clean our air, filter our waters and protect

857
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:12,800
all the species found here and nowhere else on earth. And yet this budget invests $0 for that purpose.

858
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,520
Meanwhile, the county may be spending money on an illegal mass surveillance program. I cannot

859
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:22,320
confirm whether flocks safety is still in this revised budget because it was never made a line item.

860
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:27,200
In a budget this tight San Diego deserves to know exactly what is being funded and at what level.

861
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:31,840
The board must increase transparency in next year's budget process, especially for controversial

862
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:37,040
line items. I respectfully request the board redirect any and all flock funding in this budget to

863
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:41,840
conserve in San Diego's wild lands for future generations. I also stand in solidarity with

864
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:46,080
the request of the San Diego Community Budget Alliance. And I thank you for investments in

865
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:51,520
nutrition security, health care, and the youth feasibility study. Please protect these commitments. Thank you.

866
01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:57,360
Thank you. Before the next bigger begins, I'll light three additional speakers. Suhi Niyato,

867
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:04,480
Ian Sorelo, Courtney Baltiski. Good morning, supervisor. My name is Anastasi H. Xu Hina.

868
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:11,120
I live in District 3 and I'm a small business owner. I urge you to stand with immigrant communities

869
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:17,360
and approve the proposed budget for the immigrant legal defense program and fully funded.

870
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:22,560
My family came to the United States from Ukraine in 2020 when it took after Russia's full scale

871
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:29,040
invasion. As someone who is rebuilding their life here and still navigate in the immigration system,

872
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:36,320
I know how complicated and stressful it can be, even for people who legally present in the country.

873
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:42,480
When someone faces the detention or immigration proceedings, access to autonomy can make all the

874
01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:49,520
difference. No one should have to face complex legal system alone simply because they can't afford

875
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:55,920
legal help. Immigrant legal defense program helps protect the you process and ensure that vulnerable

876
01:20:55,920 --> 01:21:01,920
people have access to legal representation when they need it most. I respectfully urge you to

877
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:06,400
support that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please.

878
01:21:09,440 --> 01:21:18,080
Good morning. My name is Suhi Niyato. I live in District 8, Sanizizero. I am a CIU local 221 union member,

879
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:23,440
which is part of the community budget alliance. I've had the privilege to work for the county of San Diego

880
01:21:23,440 --> 01:21:28,560
Health and Human Services Agency under the Department of Health and Human Services for four years.

881
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:34,080
My duty as a Human Services Specialist is to provide services for those members of the community

882
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:38,960
that are in dire need of assistance, basic necessity such as food and health care.

883
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,800
This brings me to the reason for my participation today, which is to bring awareness of the impacts of

884
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:58,800
HR-1 has had on self-sufficiency services. With the current budget, re-adjustment services,

885
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:04,080
such as CalFresh, MediCal, have severely been impacted. We are able to see this through the numerous

886
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:08,800
customer interactions where the predominant emotional expression consists of anxiety, fear, frustration,

887
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:15,520
and despair. Our share throughout the county of San Diego. As an

888
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,880
speaker, coming forward on the right three distance speakers, all of our twists,

889
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:27,280
allegedly Audra, Natalie Rashke, come on down. Thank you. Good morning, Honourable Supervisors.

890
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:32,400
My name is Courtney Baltiske with the William C.A. of San Diego County. We're also leaders and partners

891
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:38,880
in the children. First, collective, the TU1 River Coalition. We want to thank you for all of the

892
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:44,720
hard work of staff and the supervisors and teams throughout the budget process. We've had incredible

893
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:50,880
experiences, lifting important issues with each of your five teams across this fiscal year,

894
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:56,800
everything from safety around water and ocean side to greater awareness about bike safety.

895
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:03,360
But we still have a significant need for guaranteed funding for some of the most important health and

896
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:10,720
safety issues in San Diego. That includes dedicated funding for child care and safe spaces for our

897
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:15,760
youngest learners, and it also includes the TU1 River Valley, which we know will be considered

898
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:21,280
out of reserves. It's extremely disappointing to hear that some of the state budget asks are falling

899
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:26,720
through, and we need guaranteed funding to end this pollution crisis. Thank you.

900
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:29,760
Thank you. Next speaker, please.

901
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,120
Hi, good morning. Oliver Twistie, K.A. Mary Davis. Thank you for the report and for the emphasis on the

902
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:44,720
balance budget. However, what goes on said was, in fact, it's a services deficit, and I would

903
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:49,600
actually like to see a chart that shows things that you're aspiring to do where you're following short

904
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:56,000
instead of covering it up and acting like there is not a gap there. So let's be honest about that.

905
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:01,200
Also, I would like you to do whatever the city of San Diego is do. You do the opposite. Stop the

906
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:07,200
progressive pipe dreams and peppery. We need to return to pragmatism, where we are focused on a

907
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:12,560
mass low hierarchy that we are funding. Our needs and infrastructure first. In particular, the

908
01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:18,160
VISTA detention facility is critical. What happened with Lake Hodges Dam when they put that off.

909
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:24,400
It went from 275 million to now estimated 700 million. You are only going to get yourself in a further

910
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:30,160
hole in the ground. Also, I'm here to advocate for the unincorporated areas. Start showing love to

911
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:36,800
the press that there are very underserved community. Thank you.

912
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:42,800
Thank you. Next week. Hi. Good morning, Board of Supervisors. My name is Lilliana Soriano. I am the

913
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:47,200
director of policy at Youth Will, where you thought because you're going to see it. And we're also

914
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:52,800
a member of the community budget alliance. Also, as myself, I live in District 4, but we do work across

915
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:57,680
the county. My vision for the county is one where every young person has everything that they need to

916
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,240
be happy, healthy, and reach the full potential. And that's why I urge you today to approve

917
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:07,600
the recommended budget, which includes full funding for key people first investments, such as

918
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:14,560
Nutrition Security, Demigration Legal Defense Program, a feasibility study to create a department of

919
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:19,440
youth development and funding for the global village. These are kinds of investments that keep people

920
01:25:19,440 --> 01:25:24,480
supported, housing connected to opportunities throughout the county. But while our community struggle

921
01:25:24,480 --> 01:25:28,880
to afford housing, health care and basic needs, many continues to support and to

922
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:34,880
criminalization from pop 30 states to share over time to build more jail capacity. And that doesn't

923
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:39,920
support young people directly. So I urge you to choose care over criminalization, investing in

924
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:45,920
services and opportunities of people thinking. Thank you. I'd like to invite four or three additional

925
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:52,960
speakers. Maria Alina Greenman-Lind, Bell and Hernandez, and Marco Espinoza. I've caught your name

926
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:59,760
please. Hi, thank you for hearing me today, Natalie Rashke, District 3. I just wanted to share

927
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:06,160
some of the things that you have to deal with when you're in house, let alone all the other things.

928
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:15,040
During my time of being homeless, this is what I was dealt with. These are all tickets. These are just

929
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:23,680
some of them. So add that on to working the 20 hours a week, trying to get sleep,

930
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:31,280
dealing with life and this. This is just some. These are tickets for being parked.

931
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:40,320
You can get ticketed for so many things. And now we have to worry about how we're going to get food. I have

932
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:48,400
an EHV that gets put in November. I will be homeless again in November. Four children. Thank you.

933
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:58,640
Thanks, Peter please. Good morning, County Board of Supervisors. My name is Maria Alina Greenman-Lind

934
01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:03,120
and it's honor to be here with all of you. I had to speech ready, but something that really caught my eye

935
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:08,240
and I would like for all of us three such like these three beautiful visions of San Diego County

936
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:13,120
of what County County can look like. But what we do see missing are two-dimensional to touch

937
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:18,320
of facilities that represent who our youth are currently right now. So I want to ask you guys,

938
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:24,400
every time you guys come in here to make a decision specifically for $250,000 adoption for the

939
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:30,480
feasibility study. Think about is this really who San Diego County is and do we want to reach that

940
01:27:30,480 --> 01:27:36,960
vision? I ask you to please take into heart the youth voices that need to be heard. Their experiences need

941
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:42,960
to be uplift and created better resources. And I truly believe this $250,000 office ability study

942
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:47,280
will create this vision into our reality of San Diego County. Thank you.

943
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:54,880
Thank you. Good morning, supervisors. My name is Bill and Hernandez. Here's speaking on behalf

944
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:59,920
of the mid city community advocacy network, mid city can. And I want to say thank you for being

945
01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:06,640
receptive to our students, so youth and the adult who have been here to speak for the department.

946
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:14,080
I use development. I know structural changes at the county can be difficult for us to come on board

947
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:22,240
for but this is just an initial study for us to discuss. What are the needs in the county and what

948
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:28,720
needs to be done because we know the youth need greater support. So we look forward to working with you

949
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:36,160
in the coming months to structure that study in a way that makes sense and see what we can do next

950
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:45,600
in our county and thank you again. Thank you. Excuse me for please. Good morning, Marcos Penosa.

951
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:55,520
Madam Chair and baby, less than a few seconds. Nice surprise though. Yes, motion approved and I'm glad to

952
01:28:55,520 --> 01:29:04,640
see the words of heard from earlier this year when about the feasibility study for the child development

953
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:10,160
department is becoming a thing. So excited to see that. Thank you very much. You'll back.

954
01:29:12,480 --> 01:29:18,240
Thank you. That's next speaker's coming forward. I'll invite three additional speakers. Jerry Hall,

955
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:28,800
Harohen, Harry Haran and Jesse Schmitti. Nine plus billion dollars and we only get one minute to address

956
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:35,120
the negligence that takes place and I have significant concerns about you developing a youth

957
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:42,320
development department. When I have first-hand witnessed the crimes against children that you guys are

958
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:50,160
engaged in by ripping families apart and seeing that children are adoptable. So that's a reason to adopt

959
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:56,240
them out, not to protect them but because they're adoptable it's a very lucrative business and you're

960
01:29:56,240 --> 01:30:00,560
very much engaged in terminating parental rights. In fact.

961
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:13,000
In fact, I know a handful of children, including Malaya and Ziya Robinson, Omar Bayani, Wailin. There are so many children that are set to lose their families. And this is the kind of stuff that you engage in.

962
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:31,000
You're lucky that's not your daughter, Tara. Do you give her a kiss?

963
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,000
Speak up please.

964
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:41,000
Good morning, Supervisors, chair and baby.

965
01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:46,000
And the community. I speak to her, Judith.

966
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:56,000
I'm sorry, my name is Jerry Hall of District 1. I applaud your spending the money to conduct

967
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:02,000
the feasibility study for the youth development department.

968
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:07,000
Much like that department, though, there's opportunities to save tens and tens of millions

969
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:15,000
if not hundreds of millions in our public safety system. And if we have to go through this process, it's frustrating

970
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:24,000
because it's a brief process where we can need to get community support and get everybody's attention.

971
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:28,000
And these are things that should be happening in a planning process throughout the year.

972
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:37,000
So right now, our behavioral services, we put out a budget in April. And here we are 60 days later after all the community

973
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:42,000
meetings in the programs and services budget to that change by $1.

974
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Excuse me.

975
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:52,000
Good morning, chair and Supervisors. My name is Jesse Schmitti,

976
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:57,000
State Policy Manager for Alliance and Diego. Thank you all for working with our organizations and

977
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:00,000
coalitions as we close discussions around the county budget.

978
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:05,000
We respectfully urge your support for both the immigrant legal defense program and the eviction of version program.

979
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Here in San Diego, we are on the front lines of immigration policy.

980
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:13,000
We've seen civil immigration arrests increased by more than 1,500 percent while detention

981
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:19,000
questions that our child has served dramatically. At a time when families are facing unprecedented uncertainty,

982
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:24,000
access to legal representation is not a luxury, it's a matter of due process.

983
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:29,000
The immigrant legal defense program ensures that people are not forced to navigate a complex legal system alone

984
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,000
and helps keep families together during some of the most difficult times of their lives.

985
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:39,000
Likewise, the eviction of version program helps prevent homelessness before it actually happens.

986
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:46,000
It keeps families housed, reduces strain on public systems, and is far less costly, even responding after someone loses their own.

987
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:52,000
These programs reflect the values of our region, fairness, stability, and dignity, and I think you all further continue to support.

988
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Thank you.

989
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Thank you.

990
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Good morning, everyone.

991
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:58,000
My name is Arohan Hariharan.

992
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:05,000
I'm a recent graduate of UC San Diego, and I am one of the housing justice directors of our time to act.

993
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:12,000
I'm here today to emphasize the need of support for community from the local government.

994
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:20,000
And, you know, ask that the local government does what it can to help them with their most basic needs.

995
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:27,000
I also want to help of the asks of the community budget alliance and the partnership for the advancement of new Americans.

996
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:35,000
And, most importantly, emphasize increased support for the department of youth development.

997
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:42,000
In these times, I think it is most important that Sandagans can depend on their local government,

998
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:50,000
and that you can continue to support them and increase support for them as much as possible. Thank you so much.

999
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,000
Thank you.

1000
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,000
Thank you.

1001
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,000
The next speaker is coming forward on by three additional speakers.

1002
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:55,000
Casey Shirk.

1003
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:57,000
Karina Zavala.

1004
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:58,000
C.K. Kalderon Vargas.

1005
01:33:58,000 --> 01:33:59,000
I've caught your name.

1006
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:00,000
Please come forward.

1007
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,000
Good morning.

1008
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,000
My name is Hussus Marding Gallagos Monios.

1009
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:08,000
I'm a community organizing coordinator at the Chicano Federation, and the member of the community budget alliance.

1010
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,000
And, representation of the alliance.

1011
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:14,000
I'm here to highlight the messages our community has already mentioned.

1012
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:20,000
We need a budget that prioritizes youth, immigrant families, tenant protections, and environmental justice.

1013
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:26,000
We need a San Diego that truly protects our loved ones, and I please ask you to prioritize our community members.

1014
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:33,000
Funded tenant protections for immigrant families, fund ILDP, and start the process for the department of youth development.

1015
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:38,000
As youth, youth are not only the future, we are the present.

1016
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:43,000
And if we want to start advocating for our society, we need to start prioritizing our youth.

1017
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:44,000
Gracias.

1018
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,000
Thank you.

1019
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,000
Thank you.

1020
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:50,000
Hello.

1021
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:51,000
My name is Karina Zavala.

1022
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,000
I am 18 years old, and I work.

1023
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:58,000
I'm a part of my city-can, and I encourage the incarceration.

1024
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:05,000
And I'm here to give my call me on why you guys should support the YD.

1025
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Like I said before, I have been formerly incarcerated, and I was a dual status youth.

1026
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:23,000
And I'm here today to say that the YD will be so helpful for our youth because no kids should be locked down.

1027
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,000
And no kids should be in a facility.

1028
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Another thing, too, is that this will help us through so much, not just one place.

1029
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:39,000
And then the county is a legal, but all over the county is a legal, because we all know that our youth do need help.

1030
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:44,000
And we all know that we can't do this all by ourselves, and we need this to happen.

1031
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:47,000
Thank you very much for this time.

1032
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:49,000
Thank you.

1033
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:50,000
Thank you.

1034
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,000
We'll go ahead and call three additional speakers.

1035
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:58,000
Marco Guajardo, Alejandro Martinez, Fernando Flores.

1036
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Hello, good morning.

1037
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:01,000
My name is Casey.

1038
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,000
I am a Human Services Specialist, and I have been for two years, and I am a proud CIU-221 member.

1039
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Part of my job is providing the community care through government programs such as CalFresh and a Metacowl.

1040
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:18,000
For many of my clients receiving these benefits is the difference between staying housed and living on the streets.

1041
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:26,000
I would like to iterate that to human services, specialist, self-sufficiency services, HHSA, we are public safety too.

1042
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:33,000
HR1 has had a pretty big impact across the board for these programs, from evaluating for time restrictions on CalFresh.

1043
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:41,000
And evaluating the elderly and disabled property for Metacowl, our process for providing these necessary structures of care timely has taken a hit.

1044
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:49,000
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.

1045
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:58,000
I would like to bring up that my facility, the National City Family Resource Center, we are currently down 12 positions, 12 HHSS positions.

1046
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,000
We are having issues with...

1047
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:04,000
Thank you.

1048
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Next speaker.

1049
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,000
Good morning, Board, or afternoon, or still morning.

1050
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:14,000
My name is Maruko Wachardo, resident of District 4.

1051
01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:18,000
I'm an intern with Students for Economic Justice at the Center on Policy and Initiatives.

1052
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:26,000
I'm here to urge the Board to unanimously adopt the revised budget, specifically the inclusion of a $250,000 feasibility study,

1053
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:32,000
to explore the creation of the department for youth development as laid out in an item A.

1054
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,000
For us, youth development is public safety.

1055
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Healthy communities are rooted in young people feeling safe and having much more than their basic needs met.

1056
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:48,000
When young people's futures are protected, public safety is fortified and crime rates go down.

1057
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Currently San Diego's juvenile justice system is punitive and causes real harm.

1058
01:37:54,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Youth outcomes are worse in the through our current approach, and our youth deserve a care first model,

1059
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:06,000
where jail and incarceration are the absolute last forms of mediation.

1060
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,000
It's vital to recognize that San Diego is currently engaged in the committee.

1061
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,000
Thank you.

1062
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:14,000
Thank you.

1063
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Good morning.

1064
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:17,000
Good morning, my name is Fernanda Flores.

1065
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:23,000
I'm the political director with IOTC, the International Alliance of the Atrical Station Police Local 122.

1066
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:29,000
I am here to speak on behalf of IOTC 122, the San Diego Entertainment Union Coalition,

1067
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
and over 20 organizations that have endorsed the film initiative.

1068
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,000
To name a few, it's business for goods and evil arts matters.

1069
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:41,000
The East County Chamber of Commerce, San Diego Tourism Authority.

1070
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:48,000
We want to highlight the allocation of establishing a film office.

1071
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:54,000
And while this is not the end merely the beginning, we want to think the leadership and the vision from this board.

1072
01:38:54,000 --> 01:39:00,000
To invest in San Diego's during my time, I was able to witness behind this scene film production.

1073
01:39:00,000 --> 01:39:02,000
And we have so much talent here.

1074
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:06,000
San Diego's already, they are hungry to create quality life-long careers.

1075
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,000
Businesses are ready to produce and service.

1076
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,000
Everything that it takes around film.

1077
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:16,000
So thank you so much for your leadership and we look forward to working with you.

1078
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,000
For the next steps.

1079
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:19,000
Thank you.

1080
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Thank you.

1081
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,000
Like to call through additional speakers.

1082
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,000
Chloe Medina.

1083
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,000
Vanessa Gonzalez.

1084
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,000
And Chris Oforo Gomez.

1085
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:29,000
Thank you.

1086
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,000
Good morning Board of Survisors.

1087
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,000
My name is Alejandra.

1088
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:33,000
I'm with the mid city candidate.

1089
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,000
You just as a momentum team and CBA.

1090
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:39,000
I first and foremost want to thank Survisor Palo Maguirre.

1091
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:41,000
Survisor Monica Montgomery Step.

1092
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Survisor Tara Loss and Remer and Survisor Joel Desmond for their support on this $250,000

1093
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:50,000
feasibility study for Department of Youth Development.

1094
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:53,000
One of our youth was not able to make it here on time today.

1095
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:54,000
So she wasn't able to speak.

1096
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,000
So I'm sharing her statement really quickly.

1097
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:57,000
Good morning Board of Survisors.

1098
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:58,000
I'm Shamya.

1099
01:39:58,000 --> 01:39:59,000
Also known as Shimi.

1100
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,000
And I'm part of district four.

1101
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:04,000
The reason I myself was pushing so hard for this is because I was part of the system.

1102
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:05,000
I was affected by it.

1103
01:40:05,000 --> 01:40:09,000
I feel as if sending us straight into the cell doesn't solve what is wrong with this mentally.

1104
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,000
It creates a cycle of trauma that gets passed down to the next person.

1105
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:13,000
Funding us all.

1106
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:18,000
Funding us will help with not only trauma but our communities that we are sent back to.

1107
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:22,000
The trauma that is caused inside we take it out but everyone has different ways of showing it.

1108
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:26,000
Working with lived experience and people that are like me actually helps more than people who aren't lived experience.

1109
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:28,000
We haven't been through what I've been through.

1110
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:29,000
We hope.

1111
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:30,000
Sorry.

1112
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Thank you.

1113
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:35,000
Thank you.

1114
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:36,000
Next speaker.

1115
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,000
Good morning.

1116
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,000
My name is Yika Karumbara.

1117
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,000
My pronouns are A. Yes.

1118
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:50,000
I'm the director of Latina Services from the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

1119
01:40:50,000 --> 01:41:01,000
And I'm here for asking for help for you to support the final visit and funding of the county immigrant legal defense program.

1120
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:08,000
We have trans clients that have lived in San Diego for 20 years that were detained and the ILDP helped them get back to

1121
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:12,000
their houses to their homes to their community.

1122
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:15,000
The ILDP is helping so much.

1123
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,000
Please fully fund it.

1124
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Thank you.

1125
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:22,000
Thank you.

1126
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:23,000
Next speaker.

1127
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:26,000
Good morning.

1128
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Supervisors.

1129
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:31,000
My name is Chloe Medina and I have been an educator for over 20 years.

1130
01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:34,000
I currently live in District 2 and work in District 5.

1131
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:45,000
And I'm here to demonstrate my support for the revised budget, specifically the investment of $250,000 to conduct a feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development.

1132
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:52,000
I began my career in education with the goal of supporting system impacted youth and their families and that continues to be my priority.

1133
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:59,000
The future overall health safety and well-being of our communities will be determined by how well our children are taking care of today.

1134
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:08,000
What has been confirmed for me do many experiences and with the studies and data also back up is that the current system does not work.

1135
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:10,000
In fact, it perpetuates harm.

1136
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:18,000
Young folks are more responsive and more capable of growing into their full potential when they are met with 11 support rather than threats and harsh consequences.

1137
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:22,000
That is why we need to invest in care for community-led approaches.

1138
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:26,000
We're culturally relevant, trauma-informed services are accessible to all.

1139
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:27,000
Thank you.

1140
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,000
Next speaker, please.

1141
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:38,000
Good morning Board of Supervisors. My name is Vanessa as a Seneca Gonzalez and I live in District 5.

1142
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:45,000
We need to allocate the $250,000 for a feasibility study to further creation of Department of Youth Development.

1143
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:51,000
As someone who works directly with youth and residential treatment, supporting youth with significant mental health and behavioral health challenges,

1144
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:59,000
I have seen how quickly a young person can be labeled as a problem when they really need to support safety and positive youth development and experiences.

1145
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:09,000
Many of the young people are worked with have experienced trauma and stability and system involvement with punitive responses that often deepen those challenges rather than address them at the root cause.

1146
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:15,000
San Diego's juvenile justice system is causing harm and worsens outcomes for many youth.

1147
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Young people deserve a care first model that prioritizes healing, mental health services, community support and opportunities for growth.

1148
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Jowsing incarceration should be the last form of intervention, not the foundation of our response.

1149
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,000
Investing in Youth Development is investing in public safety.

1150
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:35,000
Thank you to supervisors, Monica Montgomery Step and Paloma Aguilar for their leadership and commitment.

1151
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:36,000
Thank you.

1152
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Thank you.

1153
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:38,000
Thank you.

1154
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:42,000
Good morning, supervisors.

1155
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:43,000
My name is Christopher Aguamas.

1156
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:47,000
I'm a district one resident and an organizer with a San Diego and Imperial County's labor council.

1157
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:51,000
We represent over 130 unions and 200,000 working people across these counties.

1158
01:43:51,000 --> 01:43:59,000
Today I'm speaking on behalf of many of these members that have both directly and indirectly experienced the cruelty of the federal administration's immigration enforcement.

1159
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:03,000
And asking that you fully fund legal defense, the immigrant legal defense program.

1160
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:09,000
This violence is falling on the backs of hardworking people who are simply trying to survive and make ends meet.

1161
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:16,000
And we believe that in this critical moment, it is incumbent upon local government to do everything in its power to protect its constituents.

1162
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:25,000
This funding, along with other items in the package that deal with things like eviction diversion, nutrition access and the youth feasibility study are avenues that you just that.

1163
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:26,000
So we urge your support.

1164
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Thank you.

1165
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Thank you.

1166
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:30,000
I'll call three additional speakers.

1167
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:31,000
How am I, are you, Sufi?

1168
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Caitlin Radigan and Lucky Aden.

1169
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:43,000
At the recent one that I go in with the Lion San Diego members of the San Diego immigrant rights consortium in the community budget alliance.

1170
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:50,000
We thank the CAO and supervisors for fully funding the immigrant legal defense program to keep it operational.

1171
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:56,000
This is a critical due process investment, the Reflex San Diego County's commitment to fairness, dignity and justice.

1172
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,000
As immigration enforcement increases across our region, families are now.

1173
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:13,000
We are advocating 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.

1174
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:25,000
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.

1175
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:31,640
also ask you to continue investing in prevention over punishment, including three million dollars

1176
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:35,360
in eviction diversion program to help keep families housed.

1177
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:38,920
Please invest in programs that protect human rights, while ensuring accountability

1178
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:39,920
and transparency.

1179
01:45:39,920 --> 01:45:40,920
Thank you.

1180
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:41,920
Next speaker, please.

1181
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:42,920
Good morning.

1182
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:50,600
My name is Lucky Aiden with Hannah and the Community Budget Alliance and I'm a resident of

1183
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:51,600
District 4.

1184
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:55,480
I'm here in support of funding for the Immigration Legal Fund Program and the Global

1185
01:45:55,480 --> 01:45:56,480
Village.

1186
01:45:56,480 --> 01:46:00,480
Supporting the Global Village project will help bring life to a vision that already exists

1187
01:46:00,480 --> 01:46:01,480
beyond housing.

1188
01:46:01,480 --> 01:46:06,880
It is helping create a community where families can put down roots, build economic opportunities

1189
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:07,880
and thrive.

1190
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:14,160
The Global Village will provide over 444 largely affordable homes and create pathways for small

1191
01:46:14,160 --> 01:46:16,960
business owners through our Global Village.

1192
01:46:16,960 --> 01:46:17,960
It doesn't need it.

1193
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:23,640
It doesn't need a place where people can live, work, and thrive and connect together.

1194
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:28,240
With your support, you are going to be expanding on the impact and creating a long lasting

1195
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:30,240
asset for generations to come.

1196
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:31,240
Thank you.

1197
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:32,240
Thank you.

1198
01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:33,520
Next speaker, please.

1199
01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:39,040
Good morning, chair and supervisors.

1200
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:40,520
My name is Caitlin Radigan.

1201
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:46,280
I'm a resident of District 2 and I currently serve as the Statewide Policy Manager for California

1202
01:46:46,280 --> 01:46:47,280
Youth Connection.

1203
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:54,640
I'm here today in support of the revised budget that includes the $250,000 feasibility

1204
01:46:54,640 --> 01:46:58,920
study for the establishment of a department of youth development.

1205
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:00,840
I think that this is more than a study.

1206
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:06,800
It's really an opportunity for us to intentionally invest in our young people.

1207
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:12,760
We've seen this model work well in Los Angeles and our youth are so incredibly resilient

1208
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:15,000
and full of potential.

1209
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:21,120
There are also navigating poverty, housing instability, trafficking, violence and so

1210
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:27,920
many other barriers and no young person should really have to come overcome all of that alone.

1211
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:32,520
A department of youth development would create a coordinated approach to investing in youth,

1212
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:38,440
rather than expecting different agencies and system providers working in silos.

1213
01:47:38,440 --> 01:47:39,560
Thank you so much.

1214
01:47:39,560 --> 01:47:40,560
Thank you.

1215
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:41,560
Thank you.

1216
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:46,360
I'd like to invite three additional speakers, Sarah Gonzalez, Rachel Luzano Castro, and

1217
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:50,360
Forty-Nata Pena.

1218
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:51,360
Good morning.

1219
01:47:51,360 --> 01:47:52,360
Supervisors.

1220
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:53,840
My name is Ian Saruelo.

1221
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:59,720
I am with the Asia Pacific American Liberal Alliance and also the chair of the San Diego immigrant

1222
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:00,720
rights consortium.

1223
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:05,640
First, I would like to thank the board for supporting the funding of the Immigrant Legal Defense

1224
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:06,640
Program.

1225
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:09,680
I am a practicing immigration attorney.

1226
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:15,320
And I defend many of our community members from deportation every day, I interact with

1227
01:48:15,320 --> 01:48:20,200
San Diego residents, immigrant working class families, who are suffering from the cruel

1228
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:25,520
mass deportation policy of this federal government for over a year now.

1229
01:48:25,520 --> 01:48:31,200
The Trump administration has violently separated families, kidnapped community members, surveilled

1230
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:34,800
and racially profiled black and brown communities.

1231
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:38,040
At the night, you process and violated human rights of our communities.

1232
01:48:38,040 --> 01:48:43,640
Dial, the P has provided life-changing legal support to hundreds of San Diego families, caught

1233
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:48,960
in this new main policies, lastly, I implore the board to invest more in our youth, our workers

1234
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:50,960
or immigrant and refugee communities.

1235
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:51,720
Thank you so much.

1236
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:52,720
Thank you.

1237
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:53,720
Hello.

1238
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:54,720
Good morning.

1239
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:55,720
Board of Supervisors.

1240
01:48:55,720 --> 01:49:00,720
My name is Sarah Gonzalez.

1241
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:04,320
I am a sociologist and education.

1242
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:09,720
I live in district one by my service schools and youth from San East, you draw all the

1243
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,560
way to ocean side.

1244
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:17,080
So today, I am presenting myself as the professional that I am to let you know that I didn't

1245
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:18,080
get here on my own.

1246
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:23,480
I was sort of several interventions in the South Bay that allowed me to be able to get into higher

1247
01:49:23,480 --> 01:49:24,480
education.

1248
01:49:24,480 --> 01:49:30,080
So therefore, I wouldn't be here if it wouldn't be for those interventions in the past.

1249
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:33,840
And nowadays, we need more of those interventions for our youth.

1250
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:41,200
So therefore, I want to express my support for the revised budget on item eight, specifically

1251
01:49:41,200 --> 01:49:48,120
for the investment of the $250 study, a feasibility study for the DYD.

1252
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:53,840
So research shows that youths mentorship reduces risk of it is in rates and creates pathways

1253
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:59,960
for wellness, especially for youth that has been impacted by the system.

1254
01:49:59,960 --> 01:50:00,960
Thank you.

1255
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:06,960
I'd like to call the final two speakers, and Sermio Estrada, and Moohamed.

1256
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:07,960
Good morning.

1257
01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:08,960
Good morning.

1258
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:09,960
Good morning.

1259
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:10,960
My name is Hortonada-Penya.

1260
01:50:10,960 --> 01:50:12,960
Can you pull that microphone down a little bit?

1261
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:13,960
Thank you.

1262
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:14,960
I'm sorry.

1263
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:15,960
I'm short.

1264
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:16,960
Okay.

1265
01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:24,720
My name is Hortonada-Penya, and I live in district five, and I say SEI, you local 21, I'm union member.

1266
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:29,120
I have worked for the county of San Diego for eight years, and I work in the tax collection

1267
01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:30,120
department.

1268
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:36,640
As a worker in the Treasury Tax Collector Department, we have concerns regarding staffing challenges

1269
01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:42,240
and work loads because it's efficient staffing is important for effective public service.

1270
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:48,760
One example, there is one person's assigned to deliver mail to the department on many occasions.

1271
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:54,320
This person gets pulled to go answer phones on the customer service line, and that prevents them

1272
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:56,880
from delivering the mail to us on time.

1273
01:50:56,880 --> 01:51:02,720
And a lot of these calls that their answering as taxpayers obviously upset that the payments

1274
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,720
haven't been processed.

1275
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:08,400
We support this proposed budget, which includes five additional positions.

1276
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:12,960
Thank you for investing in the staffing needed to support workers and serve our community effectively.

1277
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:18,320
Our community's deserve safety, dignity, and opportunity to thrive, please continue to invest

1278
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:19,320
these services.

1279
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:20,320
Thank you.

1280
01:51:20,320 --> 01:51:21,320
Thank you.

1281
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:22,320
Thank you.

1282
01:51:22,640 --> 01:51:24,640
Next speaker, please.

1283
01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:26,640
Good morning.

1284
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:28,280
My name is Rachel Azano Castro.

1285
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:32,160
I am a resident of District 4, although me and my family have lived in all five districts in San

1286
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:33,160
Diego.

1287
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:38,760
I am a business owner and employee, a homeowner, an entrepreneur, an activist, been proud to call

1288
01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:41,080
San Diego homes since 2008.

1289
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,480
My family's been in this country for generations.

1290
01:51:43,480 --> 01:51:45,080
I stand with refugees and immigrants.

1291
01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:47,120
I would like to thank the leadership.

1292
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:51,920
I'm also with Panna and the community budget alliance and many other coalitions.

1293
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:55,960
I'm here to speak in favor of this budget and to thank the Board of Supervisors for investing

1294
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:58,680
in quality of life for all San Diego's.

1295
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:03,160
I mean all when this county invests wisely, which I believe it is, trying to do, it lifts up

1296
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:05,680
long-time residents and newcomers alike.

1297
01:52:05,680 --> 01:52:06,680
That's the San Diego I believe in.

1298
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:09,800
That's the San Diego I want to live in, and that's the leadership I'm grateful to see from

1299
01:52:09,800 --> 01:52:10,800
this board.

1300
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:15,280
I urge you to continue to support, continue supporting the immigrant defense fund and the

1301
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:20,000
eviction diversion program, which helps keep families safely housed, protects vulnerable

1302
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,400
residents, and strengthens our communities.

1303
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:27,200
These are not just programs, these are lifelines, and when we're working hard, we can work

1304
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:28,200
together.

1305
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:29,200
Thank you.

1306
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,200
Thank you.

1307
01:52:31,200 --> 01:52:32,480
Good afternoon.

1308
01:52:32,480 --> 01:52:39,320
I'm sorry to make you a start up with the San Diego Building and Construction Trains Council.

1309
01:52:39,320 --> 01:52:40,880
We have members across this county.

1310
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:48,160
I'm here to be in solidarity with CBA, with SCIU local 2-2-1 with everybody here that is

1311
01:52:48,160 --> 01:52:54,400
asking you to meet what is clearly barbarism from the Trump administration and his Republican

1312
01:52:54,400 --> 01:53:00,040
enablers and Congress through things like massive tax cuts with HR1, to meet that head-on with

1313
01:53:00,040 --> 01:53:03,480
good governments and with moral clarity, and that's what this budget is.

1314
01:53:03,480 --> 01:53:08,080
This is an opportunity to flip the script for local governments about what is public safety.

1315
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:12,160
It's investing in food security, it's investing in homes for San Diego.

1316
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:17,480
It's investing in an immigration defense fund that keeps San Diego against with their families.

1317
01:53:17,480 --> 01:53:20,520
And the government is trying to actually rip them apart.

1318
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:24,960
These things have consequences for our communities, and this budget that you all, we've

1319
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:29,800
voted on is the first step and then answering that head-on, and please make sure this goes

1320
01:53:29,800 --> 01:53:30,800
forward.

1321
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:31,800
Thank you.

1322
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:36,800
Next speaker, please.

1323
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:37,800
Good morning.

1324
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:38,800
My name is Muhammad Omar.

1325
01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:43,320
I'm with the partnership of the Advancement of New Americans, and I'm also a district resident of

1326
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:44,320
District 4.

1327
01:53:44,320 --> 01:53:50,160
I'm here today to express my strong support for continued funding of the Global Village,

1328
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:54,000
the eviction division program, and the immigrant legal defense fund.

1329
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:56,800
The Global Village is more than an affordable housing development.

1330
01:53:56,800 --> 01:54:02,680
It is a long-term investment in housing stability, economic opportunity, and community resilience

1331
01:54:02,680 --> 01:54:09,760
with over 144, deeply affordable homes, culture, and civic spaces, and a trusted community

1332
01:54:09,760 --> 01:54:10,760
hub.

1333
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:13,280
It was served families for generations to come.

1334
01:54:13,280 --> 01:54:17,760
At the same time, the eviction division program helps, helps keep families safely housed

1335
01:54:17,760 --> 01:54:20,400
and bring in homelessness before it begins.

1336
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:24,760
While the immigrant legal defense fund is sure that vulnerable residents have access to

1337
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:30,480
legal representation and due process, together this investment strength and housing stability

1338
01:54:30,480 --> 01:54:36,320
public safety, emergency preparedness, and economic opportunity for all syndicates, I respectfully

1339
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:39,320
urge you to continue supporting this critical opportunity.

1340
01:54:39,320 --> 01:54:46,320
Good morning, Board.

1341
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:47,320
Good morning, Board.

1342
01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:55,000
I'm proud to be part of a community that has shown up a time and time again to engage in this

1343
01:54:55,000 --> 01:54:58,080
budget, and I look forward to doing it again.

1344
01:54:58,080 --> 01:55:02,280
Working class communities, communities of color, and young people help shape this budget, and

1345
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:06,840
I'd like to acknowledge the Board and CAO team that listened when San Diego spoke clearly about

1346
01:55:06,840 --> 01:55:08,640
what they need to thrive.

1347
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:12,840
We urge you to approve the revised recommended budget, but our work is far from done.

1348
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:16,400
The county has taken important steps forward in promoting workers' rights and fighting wage

1349
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:17,640
theft.

1350
01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:22,000
Given the scale of wage theft and how to impact San Diego's ability to pay for rent, food, and other

1351
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:26,920
living expenses, when your continued leadership and partnership to strengthen also and make

1352
01:55:26,920 --> 01:55:30,480
our county one where all working families can thrive.

1353
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:36,520
Over $2 billion for criminalization, prop36, and systems that harm our youth do not help us achieve

1354
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:37,520
that vision.

1355
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:41,520
We must invest in real safety, which comes from stability, opportunity, and dignity.

1356
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:42,520
Thank you.

1357
01:55:42,520 --> 01:55:44,520
Thank you.

1358
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:50,520
Next speaker, please, Board.

1359
01:55:50,520 --> 01:55:52,520
All right.

1360
01:55:52,520 --> 01:55:53,520
Good morning.

1361
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:54,520
My name is Aaron Huy.

1362
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:57,520
I'm president and co-founder of Carpidium Outreach.

1363
01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:01,760
We at youth mentoring and organization, in North County that he's social and emotional learning,

1364
01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:02,760
do we store the practice?

1365
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:03,760
I'm part of District 5.

1366
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:08,760
I stand here today, not just as a community member, but as someone who is incarcerated,

1367
01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:12,760
that's 16 years old, and spent the next 27 and a half years inside the system we're talking

1368
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:13,760
about.

1369
01:56:13,760 --> 01:56:17,760
I speak for lived experience from the research when I say our youth deserve better.

1370
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:21,760
San Diego's juvenile justice system is still rooted in punishment, and punishment has never healed

1371
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:22,760
a young person.

1372
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:26,560
It didn't heal me, but changed my life with education and mentorship and accountability and people

1373
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:28,560
who believed I was more than my worst moment.

1374
01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:31,560
That's what the Department of Youth Development represents.

1375
01:56:31,560 --> 01:56:33,560
I care for a model that actually works.

1376
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:42,560
Organizations like Carpidium Outreach, Community Wrap Around, Missity Can, show what's possible.

1377
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:44,560
We invest in youth, instead of incarcerated.

1378
01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:47,560
We work directly with the young people across North County.

1379
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:50,560
Helping nobody most know until it's just leadership and community connection.

1380
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:52,560
The things that truly prevent harm.

1381
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:53,560
So thank you.

1382
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:54,560
Thank you.

1383
01:56:55,560 --> 01:57:01,560
I'd like to invite for Ramah Abdi, and then do a final call for the speakers I previously called.

1384
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:02,560
Vanessa Melendrez.

1385
01:57:05,560 --> 01:57:07,560
And how am I ready, Sophie?

1386
01:57:07,560 --> 01:57:10,560
I've got your name, please come forward.

1387
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:11,560
Good morning.

1388
01:57:11,560 --> 01:57:13,560
My name is Rahma Abdi.

1389
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:17,560
I'm the Director of Organizing with the Pana and also a member of CBA.

1390
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:20,560
Thank you for supporting global bill�.

1391
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:21,560
And it's in the angle.

1392
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:25,560
Your support means a lot to refugee and immigrant families like mine.

1393
01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:28,560
Today you're not just helping build a project.

1394
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:30,560
You're helping build a legacy.

1395
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:35,560
Many years from now, families may not remember every meeting or vote.

1396
01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:38,560
But they will remember the leaders who believe in them.

1397
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:46,560
They will remember that your investment in place is where family and family can find support and information for opportunity.

1398
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:48,560
The global village will be there.

1399
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:50,560
It will be that buildings.

1400
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:51,560
It will be a place of hope.

1401
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:55,560
It will be a place where families can learn and connect and grow.

1402
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:59,560
A place where every people can get information in their language.

1403
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:00,560
They understand.

1404
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:02,560
They place where no one feels left behind.

1405
01:58:02,560 --> 01:58:06,560
It means our family will be better prepared during emergency.

1406
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:10,560
Your investment today will help families for many years to come.

1407
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:11,560
It's important.

1408
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:12,560
It's important.

1409
01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:13,560
Thank you.

1410
01:58:13,560 --> 01:58:14,560
Thank you.

1411
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:15,560
Thank you.

1412
01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:16,560
Thank you.

1413
01:58:16,560 --> 01:58:17,560
You're a big one.

1414
01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:18,560
I don't list up.

1415
01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:20,560
Thank you.

1416
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:22,560
I'll speak to you.

1417
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:23,560
All right.

1418
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:25,560
Hello, my name is Hamira.

1419
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:32,560
You're a partnership for the advancement of New Americans, which is a member of the Community Budget Alliance.

1420
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:33,560
CBA.

1421
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:37,560
I'm here to urge you all to approve this budget.

1422
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:43,560
It will provide much-needed funding to so many projects, including the Immigration Leaders

1423
01:58:43,560 --> 01:58:44,560
Defense Project.

1424
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:52,560
And I particularly want to express my appreciation to Supervisor Monica Montgomery's staff,

1425
01:58:52,560 --> 01:59:00,560
Lawson Reumer, and a guide for your support of the Global Village Project, which will benefit the entire

1426
01:59:00,560 --> 01:59:04,560
general region for generations to come.

1427
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,560
This project will not only build much-needed, deeply affordable homes.

1428
01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:13,560
It will create long-term investment in historically under-served communities.

1429
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:20,560
While this project is in the choice, create quarter in the mid-city region, it will serve the entire county.

1430
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:26,560
There is a huge need for trusted culturally appropriate spaces, and this has done emergency relief.

1431
01:59:26,560 --> 01:59:28,560
So thank you so much.

1432
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:32,560
We're now here from the individuals that request to speak by phone.

1433
01:59:32,560 --> 01:59:37,560
Again, when it is your turn to speak, you will be unmuted, and you will hear a recording that will tell you to begin your comments.

1434
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:40,560
We will start with our first caller.

1435
01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:55,560
All of those 25 notes that you want to spend $9 million on permanent road division this year,

1436
01:59:55,560 --> 01:59:59,560
but then they $2 million next after school year.

1437
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:00,560
You want to...

1438
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:04,480
Infleds are now coming any time of years of this, doesn't make sense.

1439
02:00:04,480 --> 02:00:11,360
Just to fix these yourselves, instead of creating paradises of the homelanders, it's don't know about,

1440
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:17,520
and then using them like your personal piggy bank. Many of the residents are lowering

1441
02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:23,600
them, and this makes mockery of your commitment to helping lowering people, and keeps them down

1442
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:29,600
and harnessed rooms open. After all this, the revised budget does not take into account

1443
02:00:29,600 --> 02:00:35,600
the control impact provided to the governor's may revise and the Fed budget, protecting our

1444
02:00:35,600 --> 02:00:41,600
own, I guess. And our economy is not going up and down.

1445
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:53,600
You're from the next call, sir.

1446
02:00:53,600 --> 02:01:02,600
I'm going to follow here. It's amazing how, you know, it's the ill-informed public

1447
02:01:02,600 --> 02:01:08,600
banking, the out-of-touch. Most disturbing things that I've heard in this meeting is from the youth

1448
02:01:08,600 --> 02:01:14,840
saying, we can't do it all by ourselves. Another saying, we believe it is incumbent for our local

1449
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:20,840
government to do everything in its power to protect its constituents. Mission accomplished,

1450
02:01:21,560 --> 02:01:26,920
government has successfully brainwashed and programmed the people into fully believing that they can't

1451
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:34,520
do it without it. The same system that creates the problem is looked up to and sought out

1452
02:01:35,160 --> 02:01:42,680
or helped and resolutions. Not only sick, but it's beyond abusive. And most,

1453
02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:47,560
having to clue, unfortunately, that this board is responsible for the majority of, if not all,

1454
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:53,800
our county budget issues. The presentation mentioned stewardship, you are delusional board,

1455
02:01:53,800 --> 02:02:09,480
if you believe you are, if you were more. Good morning, my name is Becky Rapp and as you adopt

1456
02:02:09,480 --> 02:02:16,600
this $9 billion budget, I urge you to ensure that marijuana-related expenditures received the same

1457
02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:23,960
level of scrutiny and accountability as any other county program. Over the past several years,

1458
02:02:23,960 --> 02:02:29,800
significant staff time and public resources have been devoted to marijuana policy regulation and

1459
02:02:29,800 --> 02:02:36,360
social equity planning. Packed fairs deserve a clear accounting of how much money has been spent.

1460
02:02:37,000 --> 02:02:42,760
At the same time, I encourage the county to invest more in prevention. If we're serious about supporting

1461
02:02:42,760 --> 02:02:47,960
youth health and well-being, marijuana prevention education should be incorporated into the

1462
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:56,440
department of youth development. Youth young people today are facing increasingly potent marijuana products,

1463
02:02:56,440 --> 02:03:01,960
rising rates of mental health challenges and exposure to messages that normalize drug youth.

1464
02:03:02,840 --> 02:03:07,800
Prevention is far less costly than treatment, emergency response or addresses.

1465
02:03:13,160 --> 02:03:23,240
Good morning, my name is Ibrahim Nuru. I'm a business owner and I say a word this. I would like

1466
02:03:23,240 --> 02:03:31,160
to talk in favor of supporting that budget approval. I just want to give a testimony.

1467
02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:40,120
When we are in trouble with my landlord, I have to go to Pana for a legal support and they find

1468
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:48,600
as a person who could do pro bono because we can't afford it. This is a clear way of supporting

1469
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:55,160
immigrant business owners. I also advise in American business system by giving them what's missing

1470
02:03:55,160 --> 02:04:04,200
on them. I support this budget approval because it means a small support so that we could exceed

1471
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:10,840
an American economy so that would be accessible for business owners. I think our community

1472
02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:17,880
to grow up, flourish in American system. Thank you so much. Thank you.

1473
02:04:19,320 --> 02:04:20,600
Well, here from the next color.

1474
02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:34,280
Hey, and geo-profit here is it's truth. Overpaid, Monica and many have insisted that there's

1475
02:04:34,280 --> 02:04:39,560
no deficit with an over-inflated budget of $9.1 billion, yet they've rated our reserves and

1476
02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:44,200
funneled money to their private campaign coffers. We need less staff and salaries and more to

1477
02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:49,720
IT and fire. The thickest long neglected VISTA gels only getting a measly $3 million, while union

1478
02:04:49,720 --> 02:04:55,240
campaign funders say you got $14.4 million of our tax dollars. You sued the HR for you allowed

1479
02:04:55,240 --> 02:05:00,360
VISTA to deteriorate and inmates to suffer in affordable conditions with child abuse allegations

1480
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:05,160
at the East Mason Facility and Polinsky hypocrites. Unlike the ability to structure trade

1481
02:05:05,160 --> 02:05:10,120
accounts of lies, real public safety and fire mitigation, more firefighting helicopters,

1482
02:05:10,120 --> 02:05:14,200
brush management, and better fire station conditions. Instead of wasting our tax hurts,

1483
02:05:14,200 --> 02:05:19,080
or suing fire truck companies, give out grants to cities to improve conditions for firefighters.

1484
02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:23,720
And note a many sewage pipe extensions with benefit Mexico and note a giving illegal aliens

1485
02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:28,440
$12 million of our budget to protect criminals like the Skumbag and killed eight-year-old

1486
02:05:28,440 --> 02:05:31,640
Aria, Cynthia Cruz, and Julian. How about the 40-year-old?

1487
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:34,280
Do you get the next caller?

1488
02:05:42,120 --> 02:05:50,600
Actor, I say on the legal thing, only give legal money to the legal immigrants that need lawyers.

1489
02:05:50,600 --> 02:05:58,360
Do not give any money to the, is that illegal immigrants? And so all the legal

1490
02:05:58,360 --> 02:06:04,920
immigrants get their fees. And then on the mayor a lot of things, let's keep it amongst the dark people,

1491
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:11,080
less than we lose their souls, that's a good one. And the village thing, the immigrant village,

1492
02:06:11,640 --> 02:06:18,840
makes you get a lot of cameras and a lot of license plates readers because the orange man is coming

1493
02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:26,040
with eyes. And they also offer free health care now in Mexico. So if you need health care, go to the

1494
02:06:26,040 --> 02:06:32,920
Mexico, it's free. And then also you get a thousand dollars if you sell support. So don't say if we're not

1495
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:39,240
trying to help you guys, you get out of here, thousand dollars to sell support. And you can take your blue line

1496
02:06:39,240 --> 02:06:44,920
for free, they won't give you a ticket if they're heading south on the blue line. Tell me you want to.

1497
02:06:45,880 --> 02:06:47,560
Thank you. You're from the next caller.

1498
02:06:54,520 --> 02:07:00,680
Pam, wow, it is sticking to watch his activists begging for money to perpetuate chaos. Many of the public

1499
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:05,320
speakers today must not have access to the use in this county. This part has illusions they can

1500
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:10,200
manage the multi-pointed dollar budget even with extended terms. Immigrants, illegal,

1501
02:07:10,200 --> 02:07:15,640
otherwise, are not new Americans. And should not be prioritized over American citizens in need.

1502
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:22,360
No money to the anti-American anti-symbolation global village. Consider two Supreme Court wins today.

1503
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:27,160
Migrants turn away at the border before entering the US are not entitled to apply for a slide-up.

1504
02:07:27,160 --> 02:07:32,760
And no judicial relief postponing the relocation of temporary protective status of Haitians and

1505
02:07:32,760 --> 02:07:37,240
Syrian nationals. So therefore, no money for the illegal immigrant defense son.

1506
02:07:37,480 --> 02:07:42,520
Criminal's must be deported, not called. Sorry, I'm walking them out of breath. No

1507
02:07:42,520 --> 02:07:47,320
funding of special privileges to individual based under sexual behavior and preferences.

1508
02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:53,240
But wrong enforcement from court services above all else, top-tellogene Americans, citizens,

1509
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:54,040
taxpayer.

1510
02:07:57,640 --> 02:07:59,000
Thank you, we're here from the next caller.

1511
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:11,240
Hello, my name is Cost Simpson. I'm 20-year-old. I'm currently a federal right now, but I did

1512
02:08:11,240 --> 02:08:17,800
serve five-and-a-half years in East Mesa and in DJJ. I'm currently a student at Fresno State.

1513
02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:22,520
I lost my own business. I'm a graduate of allows incarcerated. And all these things are possible

1514
02:08:22,520 --> 02:08:28,520
because of the support that I did receive. But this support was not given to me by the systems in place

1515
02:08:28,520 --> 02:08:33,800
and by the structures that have been built within these systems. Organizations like the day was

1516
02:08:33,800 --> 02:08:39,000
heart foundation, home girls look at our son. And SBCF South Bay Community Services.

1517
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:43,720
And even people like that allow me to get to the place where I'm at now. And with that, with this funding

1518
02:08:43,720 --> 02:08:48,920
with this support, all the youth who have been in the system as well, can get the same kind of support.

1519
02:08:50,120 --> 02:08:54,200
So I really appreciate all of you guys for coming on here. But I've really lived experience, I've

1520
02:08:54,200 --> 02:09:00,200
had the problems, I have the, I'll put it around. And everyone is just essentially here to the right thing.

1521
02:09:00,200 --> 02:09:06,040
There's no native or ulterior motives. There's no monetary gain from this. It's generally just a support

1522
02:09:06,040 --> 02:09:09,240
and the genuine desire to build people up in our communities. So thank you.

1523
02:09:25,160 --> 02:09:35,160
Blair, Beekman. Hi, Blair Beekman. I do not attend enough for the supplies and meetings.

1524
02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:40,440
I wish I did this a public, a person from the public. I've been living in San Diego for over four years.

1525
02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:48,840
Now, there has been many issues in dealing with a new jail in Santa Clara County where it comes from

1526
02:09:49,080 --> 02:09:54,840
San Jose area. We're working on that a lot. Nice dialogue today asking that if you build a

1527
02:09:54,840 --> 02:10:00,920
jail, you have to be considering all the other social programs we can be doing in this place. That has to be

1528
02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:07,320
first and foremost. And with that, there's been so many deaths that are county jail here in San Diego,

1529
02:10:07,320 --> 02:10:12,680
the same as in Santa Clara County. Can you guys work together to solve this deaf issue and learn to

1530
02:10:12,680 --> 02:10:18,760
limit the amount of deaths before anything you build in the future? And good luck on budget

1531
02:10:18,760 --> 02:10:24,040
practices and working towards social equity first and then austerity. We're doing, we're learning

1532
02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:30,840
good lessons in San Diego City. Good luck in your efforts. Thank you. Thank you. Chair Larson Rimmer,

1533
02:10:30,840 --> 02:10:39,480
that concludes public comment on this item. Okay, thank you very much. I just want to take a moment to

1534
02:10:39,480 --> 02:10:45,480
think all of our public commenters and our speakers. Thank you for your participation today. But

1535
02:10:45,480 --> 02:10:51,480
really, thank you for your participation in this entire budget process. We've really been moving over the

1536
02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:59,480
last number of years to try to create a more inclusive budgeting process that creates avenues for input

1537
02:10:59,480 --> 02:11:03,960
and participation and collaboration on shaping our county's budget. Much earlier in the process,

1538
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:10,360
so that hopefully by the time we get to this point that the budget can reflect the major needs

1539
02:11:10,360 --> 02:11:19,560
and priorities of our community. Today, we are voting on a balanced budget. And I think it's a pretty

1540
02:11:19,560 --> 02:11:27,640
extraordinary budget. It protects the core services that Sandigons count on public safety, fire, emergency

1541
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:33,640
response, behavioral health health care, food assistance, homeless services, veteran services,

1542
02:11:33,640 --> 02:11:40,920
parks, libraries, arts, roads, and the day-to-day work of our county government. This is a

1543
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:45,880
responsible budget. It's a balanced budget. I think it's a visionary budget and it is a budget built

1544
02:11:45,880 --> 02:11:52,920
for the moment that we are in. Because this is not a normal year. The Trump administration has

1545
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:58,520
been pushing costs and paperwork on economies across America, including Sandiego County,

1546
02:11:58,520 --> 02:12:05,080
and this budget prepares us to respond. We also continue to face a difficult environment of

1547
02:12:05,080 --> 02:12:11,240
increasing costs, increasing crisis of rising gas prices, affordability, rising housing costs.

1548
02:12:12,280 --> 02:12:19,960
And this budget meets that moment. The budget also protects public safety. Public safety means

1549
02:12:19,960 --> 02:12:25,640
firefighters with the staffing and the helicopters that they need when a wild fire breaks out.

1550
02:12:26,440 --> 02:12:31,320
We're adding fire suppression positions, helicopters and other safety equipment.

1551
02:12:32,760 --> 02:12:39,400
We have added 187 law enforcement and fire positions since joining the board.

1552
02:12:40,520 --> 02:12:47,480
This budget also protects due process. Because I believe we should live in a country where the

1553
02:12:47,480 --> 02:12:52,920
government cannot pull you off the street, lock you up, away from your family, and force you

1554
02:12:52,920 --> 02:12:59,400
to face deportation alone, simply because you cannot afford an attorney. That is the rule of law.

1555
02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:06,680
That is the constitution and defending the constitution is public safety. This budget also cuts waste

1556
02:13:07,400 --> 02:13:13,960
and inefficiencies and makes our government work better. We are modernizing outdated phone systems,

1557
02:13:13,960 --> 02:13:21,560
getting rid of fax machines, reducing leasing costs, and doing so many other small adjustments

1558
02:13:21,560 --> 02:13:27,400
so that our county can continue working in big ways. I'd like to thank our county staff or CIO,

1559
02:13:27,400 --> 02:13:33,160
Ebony Shelton and every department that worked with us on this budget. It has not been an easy year,

1560
02:13:34,120 --> 02:13:40,520
but we are stronger because of this hard work. But I also would like to be honest that we are not out of the

1561
02:13:40,520 --> 02:13:46,600
woods. This budget gets us through this year and sets us on a good path for the next few years.

1562
02:13:47,320 --> 02:13:55,400
But coming years could be even harder. We are facing hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs

1563
02:13:55,400 --> 02:14:02,840
and cuts depending on what happens in both Washington and Sacramento. So this vote is incredibly

1564
02:14:02,840 --> 02:14:07,320
important. It is extraordinarily important, but it is not the end of our work. It is the beginning

1565
02:14:07,320 --> 02:14:13,480
of the next phase. We will need to keep working, keep fighting, keep talking, and keep finding solutions

1566
02:14:13,480 --> 02:14:20,120
for our community. So I'm proud to support this budget. It is balanced. It's responsible. It invests

1567
02:14:20,120 --> 02:14:25,400
in all the key programs that I think are so essential to protecting the most vulnerable members of our

1568
02:14:25,400 --> 02:14:33,800
community and fighting for working families. But we are not done with this work. So I would like to begin our

1569
02:14:33,800 --> 02:14:39,400
conversation discussion at the board by making a motion to number one. Approve this year is

1570
02:14:39,400 --> 02:14:46,280
change letter, which is recommendation number one. Number two, approve the remaining staff recommendations

1571
02:14:46,280 --> 02:14:50,280
listed in the item as recommendations three through five.

1572
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:17,500
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.

1573
02:15:17,500 --> 02:15:29,200
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.

1574
02:15:29,200 --> 02:15:40,200
And all the staff recommendations in fire protection district, flood control district, in home support services, public authority, redevelopment, successor, agency, and sanitation district agenda.

1575
02:15:40,200 --> 02:15:43,200
With that, I will turn the chair over to the vice chair.

1576
02:15:43,200 --> 02:15:46,200
Excuse me, turn the floor over to the vice chair.

1577
02:15:46,200 --> 02:15:57,200
Thank you so much, chair, last one, I want to start by thanking our chief administrative officer of any shelter in the system CAL and chief financial officer, Joan Bracky.

1578
02:15:57,200 --> 02:16:08,200
And the entire county team for their extraordinary tremendous work in developing the revised recommended operational plan for the next two fiscal years.

1579
02:16:08,200 --> 02:16:23,200
Also, I want to thank the county comms department, specifically Tammy Glenn and Natalia Hintrell for welcoming my team at the budget pop-up event at the Southeastern Liberal Center and the community budget open house at the county operations center.

1580
02:16:23,200 --> 02:16:29,200
Meeting full community engagement is essential to shaping a budget that reflects the diverse needs of our county.

1581
02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:38,200
And my staff have valuable conversations at both events, conversations that are vital to producing the budget before us today.

1582
02:16:38,200 --> 02:16:50,200
An important point the revised recommended budget makes clear is that it does not account for potential impacts from state or federal budget changes and is important that we acknowledge that uncertainty directly.

1583
02:16:50,200 --> 02:17:12,200
The federal government's decision to prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy, resulting in significant reductions to healthcare access and food assistance has put more than 314,000 of our county's medical members and 93,500 calfresh recipients at risk of losing the support they rely on.

1584
02:17:12,200 --> 02:17:20,200
HR1 also known as the big beautiful bill is not a mistake. It is a deliberate policy choice and a harmful one.

1585
02:17:20,200 --> 02:17:30,200
Taking food away from struggling families is not build stronger communities. It creates instability, hardship and a risk and a greater risk of homelessness.

1586
02:17:30,200 --> 02:17:47,200
And taking healthcare away disproportionately from low-income households, immigrants, communities of color, intensifies, intensifies, existing inequities, worsens, health outcomes and pushes vulnerable families even closer to crisis.

1587
02:17:47,200 --> 02:17:55,200
There is nothing beautiful about making it harder for people to access the support that they need to remain healthy, housed, and fed.

1588
02:17:55,200 --> 02:18:08,200
While I cannot change the decisions made in Washington, we can act here at home and we have. The budget before us today represents a proactive and essential response to protect our most vulnerable residents.

1589
02:18:08,200 --> 02:18:26,200
In the recommended budget, I have advocated for and supported 44.7 million for safety net services, advancing our equity and health priorities, 5 million for the global village led by the partnership for the advancement of new Americans.

1590
02:18:26,200 --> 02:18:39,200
This is a critical investment in a network of wrap-around services and emergency services, including housing opportunities for refugee and low-income families.

1591
02:18:39,200 --> 02:18:50,200
$600,000 for tenant legal aid services, ensuring ranchers facing housing instability have access to the legal support necessary to remain safely housed.

1592
02:18:50,200 --> 02:19:04,200
And also just want to bring up really quick advocacy for the public defender's office to receive additional resources so they can support what we are mandated to do to provide a defense for an indigent community.

1593
02:19:04,200 --> 02:19:27,200
In the revised recommended budget, I have the whole heartily support the $500,000 allocation to mass fresco, mass fresco plus program to increase health access to healthy foods and boost consumption, particularly among populations with health disparities.

1594
02:19:27,200 --> 02:19:47,200
The $250,000 allocation for a feasibility study for the Department of Youth Development, a crucial first step toward identifying the full range of youth development services that county can offer and understanding how to better address disparities in youth outcomes across regions and demographics.

1595
02:19:47,200 --> 02:19:55,200
And the budgetary actions taken to formally establish the behavioral health services as a stand-alone county department.

1596
02:19:55,200 --> 02:20:08,200
When my office first advanced this major structural reform, we did so recognizing that the single county needed behavioral health system designed for today's realities, not one built nearly three decades ago.

1597
02:20:08,200 --> 02:20:34,200
This separation is far more than an administrative reorganization, as an independent department VHS will be better positioned to expand provider networks, improve care coordination, modernized data and technology systems enhance financial oversight and respond more rapidly and effectively to the needs of individuals experiencing serious mental illness and substance use disorders.

1598
02:20:34,200 --> 02:20:47,200
These are precisely the improvements the state now expects counties to deliver and my board of action paired with the budget re-alignment insurance San Diego is not only keeping pace but leading the way.

1599
02:20:47,200 --> 02:21:03,200
All of these investments in our communities ensure that residents are not left behind and that access to critical services is preserved, especially for individuals who may experience temporary gaps and support created by federal, not local policies shifts.

1600
02:21:03,200 --> 02:21:15,200
From the moment we saw these threats emerging, we acted, we developed a plan, secure the necessary resources, build strong partnerships, and today through this budget we are delivering on that commitment.

1601
02:21:15,200 --> 02:21:27,200
Lastly, I have full confidence in our CAO, our Incident Command structure and our Department of Finance to closely monitor and proactively address any emerging fiscal challenges.

1602
02:21:27,200 --> 02:21:37,200
Their leadership and fiscal stewardship ensure the county remains stable and prepared regardless of what adjustments may be required in the months of head ahead.

1603
02:21:37,200 --> 02:21:50,200
Thank you again to county staff for your countless hours of analysis and coordination that went into producing this thoughtful and balanced budget and most importantly, thank you to the community.

1604
02:21:51,200 --> 02:22:03,200
Both to those that are here today and those who participate throughout this process, your engagement, your stories, your advocacy guides our priorities and hold us accountable.

1605
02:22:03,200 --> 02:22:16,200
We do our best work when it is in partnership with you and I'm grateful for your continued involvement and willingness to shake the future of San Diego County and with that I will second the motion chair.

1606
02:22:16,200 --> 02:22:20,200
Thank you so much Vice Chair, Chair Patuma Geary.

1607
02:22:20,200 --> 02:22:26,200
Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to take a moment to tell you guys why I do this work.

1608
02:22:26,200 --> 02:22:39,200
I am the daughter of Mexican immigrants. I grew up in two countries. I know what it is to go without to see money and opportunity pass you by and that's why this budget is so important to me.

1609
02:22:39,200 --> 02:23:04,200
And I do want to preface my my prepared remarks with the fact that they are blunt and but they're also truthful and we need to acknowledge that truth because we are living in unprecedented times never in my imagination ever did I expect us to be faced with cuts to entitlement programs to safety net programs by this very administration.

1610
02:23:04,200 --> 02:23:15,200
South County has been overlooked for decades and I did not come to this job to accept that I came to change it and I do believe this budget reflects our values and prioritizes people.

1611
02:23:15,200 --> 02:23:27,200
On the Tijuana River we want real money and real action we secure $2.5 million to fix the Saturn Boulevard Pollution site one of the war sources of toxic air in our community.

1612
02:23:27,200 --> 02:23:41,200
We committed $20 million to clean up the Tijuana River and we created a new pollution crisis chief to push state and federal leaders towards a permanent fix our families deserve clean air clean beaches full stop.

1613
02:23:41,200 --> 02:23:52,200
On the cost of living Donald Trump and the Republicans made a choice to take food assistance and healthcare away from working families so they could give tax breaks to billionaires.

1614
02:23:52,200 --> 02:23:58,200
We had a choice to accept those cuts and let our neighbors go hungry or fight back.

1615
02:23:58,200 --> 02:24:06,200
I've seen what happens when families fall through the cracks when people go without food and housing and I refuse to let that happen on my watch.

1616
02:24:06,200 --> 02:24:18,200
We're hiring 120 new workers to help families keep their food and health benefits and we're putting $15.8 million of our own money to make up for what Trump and them took out.

1617
02:24:18,200 --> 02:24:34,200
On housing we're putting over $22 million to building more affordable homes and we're setting aside $5 million specifically to help immigrant and low income families because nobody should be pushed out of their community, especially when they help build it.

1618
02:24:34,200 --> 02:24:43,200
And we're also protecting our immigrant communities at a time when the Trump administration is escalating efforts to separate families and destabilize communities.

1619
02:24:43,200 --> 02:24:49,200
San Diego County's investment in immigrant legal defenses and investment in the well-being of our region.

1620
02:24:49,200 --> 02:25:02,200
Providing legal representation helps protect working families from unjust deportations keeps parents with their children and preserves the social and economic stability that neighborhoods depend on.

1621
02:25:03,200 --> 02:25:14,200
When families can remain together children experience greater security workers can continue contributing to our local economy and communities remain stronger safer and more resilient.

1622
02:25:14,200 --> 02:25:21,200
I especially want to lift up the powerful youth advocacy we have seen throughout this budget cycle.

1623
02:25:21,200 --> 02:25:30,200
Your determination delivered $250,000 for a youth development feasibility study, a major step toward a future department of youth development.

1624
02:25:30,200 --> 02:25:40,200
Advocacy takes courage even when it's just speaking up at the podium and it has been inspiring to see our youth not only asking for change but leading the call for it.

1625
02:25:40,200 --> 02:25:45,200
These are not empty promises. This is real money going to real solutions.

1626
02:25:45,200 --> 02:25:52,200
Now, some out there and we've heard the narratives and some publications that we spent too much.

1627
02:25:52,200 --> 02:25:57,200
I want to be honest about what spending less would have meant.

1628
02:25:57,200 --> 02:26:05,200
Seniors paying more for their bills. Families going hungry. People losing their homes and the Tejwana River staying a miss.

1629
02:26:05,200 --> 02:26:10,200
That's not being responsible. That's fighting for the people.

1630
02:26:10,200 --> 02:26:20,200
Also, this budget is balanced. Our reserves are 100% fully funded and we have a top credit rating from every major financial agency in the country.

1631
02:26:20,200 --> 02:26:28,200
We're not as some would say putting county finances at risk. We are investing in its solutions and there's a big difference when it comes to that.

1632
02:26:28,200 --> 02:26:36,200
And let me also say when right wing opponents realize about this budget what they're really saying is that it's okay to leave people behind.

1633
02:26:36,200 --> 02:26:41,200
It's okay to leave people who look like me behind and that community behind.

1634
02:26:41,200 --> 02:26:45,200
I think it's deeply cynical. We see that from Donald Trump.

1635
02:26:45,200 --> 02:26:50,200
We see that from the majority in Congress. We're seeing it here in San Diego too.

1636
02:26:50,200 --> 02:26:56,200
And it's not too inflame. It's to be clear because the people deserve to know the truth.

1637
02:26:56,200 --> 02:27:03,200
In summary, I would like to say that we are not done. The fight for a clean Tijuana River continues.

1638
02:27:03,200 --> 02:27:11,200
The cost of living crisis is not solved by any means. District one families deserve their fair share and we're not there yet.

1639
02:27:12,200 --> 02:27:19,200
Every day we need to make different choices choices to help families succeed, especially working families.

1640
02:27:19,200 --> 02:27:23,200
So today we celebrate tomorrow we continue fighting.

1641
02:27:23,200 --> 02:27:26,200
Thank you to everybody who spoke out in support of this budget.

1642
02:27:26,200 --> 02:27:33,200
And I want to especially thank Ebony, Joan, Nadia, Liz, Davia, Andrew and Brian.

1643
02:27:33,200 --> 02:27:39,200
And everybody at our team for all their work for this budget. Thank you.

1644
02:27:39,200 --> 02:27:41,200
Thank you so much.

1645
02:27:41,200 --> 02:27:43,200
Super is a dozen.

1646
02:27:43,200 --> 02:27:47,200
Thank you, Madam Chair, appreciate it.

1647
02:27:47,200 --> 02:27:52,200
I also want to thank staff for all your hard work and effort that putting this budget together.

1648
02:27:52,200 --> 02:27:58,200
There's a lot in this. This $9.1 billion budget, for example, that I like.

1649
02:27:58,200 --> 02:28:04,200
The increase of $98 million going to public safety as it should be for sheriff services.

1650
02:28:04,200 --> 02:28:13,200
And unfortunately, yes, for jail improvements. I'm all in favor of more schools, but unfortunately we still need jails and ones we have are pretty bad shape.

1651
02:28:13,200 --> 02:28:21,200
So this public safety money is going to sheriff services, jail improvements, opioid enforcement programs.

1652
02:28:21,200 --> 02:28:31,200
And includes additional fire protection for the region through staffing increases, county fire for water tender trucks and the night flying helicopter.

1653
02:28:31,200 --> 02:28:39,200
We learned for the LA fires at having mobile and large quantities of water is critical for saving lives and property.

1654
02:28:39,200 --> 02:28:44,200
For behavioral health, we're pursuing crisis services for youth in North County.

1655
02:28:44,200 --> 02:28:46,200
I'm happy for that.

1656
02:28:46,200 --> 02:28:51,200
And we're maintaining services and not scaling back in libraries, parks, road improvements.

1657
02:28:51,200 --> 02:28:54,200
In fact, hats off to our department of public works.

1658
02:28:54,200 --> 02:29:02,200
For reaching the target of a 70 pavement index for the unincorporated area roads.

1659
02:29:02,200 --> 02:29:11,200
I also appreciate the CAO for taking feedback and input, continuing funding for their drowning prevention and swim lessons for kids.

1660
02:29:11,200 --> 02:29:17,200
And for the youth sports defibrillator programs for all of our sports programs in the unincorporated area.

1661
02:29:17,200 --> 02:29:20,200
And for funding the drowning prevention.

1662
02:29:20,200 --> 02:29:29,200
It's very important we hear in San Diego after all, swim lessons actually save lives and what I've noticed in the drowning prevention programs in North County.

1663
02:29:29,200 --> 02:29:35,200
It's not just for kids, parents are actually enrolling in these classes and learning to swim, which is good.

1664
02:29:35,200 --> 02:29:47,200
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.

1665
02:29:47,200 --> 02:29:52,200
Providing legal services for immigrant and federal court facing deportation.

1666
02:29:52,200 --> 02:29:57,200
I do not think that is what local taxpayers should be paying for.

1667
02:29:57,200 --> 02:29:59,200
This is a federal issue.

1668
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:07,000
This is not what local San Diego County folks should be paying for. That money should be going towards local efforts.

1669
02:30:07,000 --> 02:30:14,000
Not towards people who just came walked into the country and all of a sudden need legal issues.

1670
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:22,000
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.

1671
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:29,000
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.

1672
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:38,000
And I'm not necessary. And I haven't supported and I do not support unlocking the user reserves. I think reserves should be held sacred.

1673
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:45,000
That funding is too valuable and limited to be spent in a manner it's being spent now.

1674
02:30:45,000 --> 02:30:56,000
I've voted against using a reserves ever since we've started doing this. There's too many ongoing services and operations being funded by this finite pot of money.

1675
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:01,000
There's going to come a day and when we don't no longer have this reserve dollars.

1676
02:31:01,000 --> 02:31:08,000
It was opened up through politically generated Mania and hysteria that the sky is falling because of HR1.

1677
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:18,000
It's not. This is fear-mogery and it tries to make the public think the sky is falling and everyone's going to lose food and health care. They're not.

1678
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:32,000
Ultimately, it's able body people that between the ages of 18 and 64 with no dependence, who aren't willing to work volunteer or go to school 20 hours a week or turn in the paperwork to show it.

1679
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:39,000
And the people that are here illegally are the only ones at risk of losing their medical benefits.

1680
02:31:39,000 --> 02:31:47,000
So if they're able body, they're single, got no dependence, are able to work.

1681
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:56,000
They're only asking for 20 hours a week of volunteer or work or some type of service to pay for the services that you're receiving.

1682
02:31:56,000 --> 02:31:59,000
Those are the ones that are not willing to do that at risk.

1683
02:31:59,000 --> 02:32:05,000
The one else who is qualified and who has needs these services will get them.

1684
02:32:05,000 --> 02:32:10,000
It's only the ones that risk, the only ones that risk are willing to participate.

1685
02:32:10,000 --> 02:32:13,000
As it turns out, the sky is not falling.

1686
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:23,000
In fact, so far, the impacts are estimated to be $8 million for additional staffing to address the increased work and reporting requirements of twice a year.

1687
02:32:23,000 --> 02:32:31,000
And depending on how much the state funds, we're still not sure, 15.7 million that serves the existing and tile recipients.

1688
02:32:31,000 --> 02:32:35,000
They're only puts at risk a potential of 24 million.

1689
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:38,000
And that's of everyone who's eligible to work doesn't.

1690
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:40,000
It doesn't turn into paperwork.

1691
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:48,000
So we've opened up 381 million of reserves for this 24 million shortfall, potential shortfall.

1692
02:32:48,000 --> 02:32:54,000
And this board is spending it down at a tune of $95 million a year.

1693
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:59,000
But all we really needed is up to this point is a potentially 24 million.

1694
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:02,000
And we may not need that much.

1695
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:10,000
This could have and should have been addressed by prioritizing our own budget, which increases about 5% every year, 5% of $8 billion is a lot.

1696
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:12,000
We should not be spending these reserves.

1697
02:33:12,000 --> 02:33:21,000
And I said, I think this is a false hype and many are created to trick the public into accepting the board, opening and spending emergency reserves.

1698
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:29,000
We could have spent, we could have retrieved half of that 24 million with this illegal alien defense fund.

1699
02:33:29,000 --> 02:33:35,000
We could have taken that 13.0 million and put it towards this 24 million.

1700
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:40,000
As we spend this funds in this manner, this money's just not going to be there once it's spent.

1701
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:43,000
This is 368 million of reserves.

1702
02:33:43,000 --> 02:33:45,000
Once it's spent, it's gone.

1703
02:33:45,000 --> 02:33:51,000
That money alone would earn 11 million dollars a year, and now we're taking it out of the reserves.

1704
02:33:51,000 --> 02:34:02,000
11 million dollars a year, and if you compound that, that's a lot more over 5, 10, 15 years to take 380 million dollars out and spend it on one time things.

1705
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:09,000
These are valuable reserves funds that are not going to capital improvements, which could last for years to go.

1706
02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:13,000
In fact, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association did a great job.

1707
02:34:13,000 --> 02:34:29,000
They did a fiscal analysis on the county of San Diego and put it out that our capital improvement allocation, which is for roads, for bridges, for infrastructure, for parks, for new amenities, and buildings, things like that.

1708
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:32,000
Our allocation this year is only 45 million.

1709
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:37,000
That's only one half a 1% of our budget.

1710
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:40,000
It's the lowest it's spent in 16 years.

1711
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:44,000
And previously, it's always been about 100 million a year.

1712
02:34:44,000 --> 02:34:50,000
It goes to capital, but we've got many buildings, many roads, many things that need improvements.

1713
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:55,000
And this is how the city of San Diego has gotten so far and so deep in trouble.

1714
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:57,000
Now, I will admit, staffs on a great job on the roads.

1715
02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:01,000
I keep an eye roads up to a certain standard at 70 CPCI.

1716
02:35:01,000 --> 02:35:02,000
Thank you.

1717
02:35:02,000 --> 02:35:03,000
But we still have bridges.

1718
02:35:03,000 --> 02:35:04,000
We still have buildings.

1719
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:07,000
We still have a lot of things other things to make this building.

1720
02:35:07,000 --> 02:35:09,000
There's just built almost 100 years ago.

1721
02:35:09,000 --> 02:35:10,000
Still needs repair.

1722
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:14,000
So we need those capital improvement dollars for other things.

1723
02:35:14,000 --> 02:35:19,000
And this year, because of all the other spending, it's about half what it used to be.

1724
02:35:19,000 --> 02:35:25,000
The city of San Diego is not there about a billion dollars behind on their infrastructure.

1725
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:27,000
And that's a roads or streets.

1726
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:34,000
The county, we bailed out the city of San Diego when about 600 houses flooded because they weren't taking care of their culverts.

1727
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:40,000
We shouldn't be going down this path of less than the capital improvement projects going in.

1728
02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:48,000
So I think with those concerns, no $9 billion budget is perfect.

1729
02:35:48,000 --> 02:35:49,000
I'll admit that.

1730
02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:51,000
There's a lot of good in here.

1731
02:35:51,000 --> 02:35:53,000
But there's also a few things that are bad.

1732
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:56,000
So I would like to put for the record.

1733
02:35:56,000 --> 02:36:04,000
I will vote for the budget overall that I'm against the $13.2 million for the immigrant legal defensively allocation.

1734
02:36:04,000 --> 02:36:08,000
I'm against utilizing the reserves and against the county council,

1735
02:36:08,000 --> 02:36:11,000
consumer protection unit being put in place.

1736
02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:13,000
Thank you very much.

1737
02:36:18,000 --> 02:36:19,000
Thank you.

1738
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:25,000
I have some additional comments, but I'll turn to my to the vice chair if you just put your name up.

1739
02:36:25,000 --> 02:36:26,000
You want me to go ahead.

1740
02:36:26,000 --> 02:36:27,000
Okay.

1741
02:36:27,000 --> 02:36:30,000
Great.

1742
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:32,000
Thank you all very much.

1743
02:36:32,000 --> 02:36:39,000
So again, I just want to thank county staff and John for everything you've done.

1744
02:36:39,000 --> 02:36:43,000
The whole team, everyone here, how much work we've put in.

1745
02:36:43,000 --> 02:36:52,000
I want to again, just acknowledge the moment that we're in historically and in our country.

1746
02:36:52,000 --> 02:37:01,000
We are at a moment where in Washington we're seeing severe disinvestment in our communities.

1747
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:07,000
70 billion dollars being allocated to ice while healthcare is cut.

1748
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:17,000
So I'm very proud of the work we've done here in San Diego to create a budget that does invest in working families.

1749
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:32,000
That does do everything we possibly can to make sure that people have access to food and don't go home.

1750
02:37:32,000 --> 02:37:47,000
Are able to keep a roof over their heads that invest deeply in tackling homelessness and our affordability crisis,

1751
02:37:47,000 --> 02:37:53,000
especially our crisis around affordable housing that prioritizes investments in public health,

1752
02:37:53,000 --> 02:38:00,000
especially in health equity like the Tewana River crisis and the sewage crisis,

1753
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:09,000
and it makes enormous strides towards a safer, cleaner environment and future for San Diego families.

1754
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:17,000
And a budget that does everything we can to protect our constitution, protect the rule of law and make sure that if you are in this country

1755
02:38:17,000 --> 02:38:24,000
that you cannot be kidnapped, deported off of our streets and disappeared into jails in El Salvador,

1756
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:28,000
and other countries in other parts of this world.

1757
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:37,000
So with that being said, again, acknowledge that this is the beginning and at the end that this is important work,

1758
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:42,000
and that these are investments that are incredibly important for the future of a community.

1759
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:46,000
I'm very proud of the budget that we've put together today.

1760
02:38:46,000 --> 02:38:50,000
I've proud of the partnership of my colleagues in bring this budget forward,

1761
02:38:50,000 --> 02:38:56,000
and really hope that we can pass this budget today for the future of San Diego County.

1762
02:38:56,000 --> 02:38:58,000
Vice Chair, Montgomery Step.

1763
02:38:58,000 --> 02:39:09,000
Yeah, just briefly, you know, we all were voted in by our constituency, so we have different perspectives on the budget,

1764
02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:19,000
but I just want to say I believe that there is such a thing as being fiscally responsible and then morally responsible to people,

1765
02:39:19,000 --> 02:39:29,000
and that I don't believe that it's worth having walking around and over people in our streets,

1766
02:39:29,000 --> 02:39:36,000
but being okay, because we're earning 11 million on interest, I don't think that that's okay.

1767
02:39:36,000 --> 02:39:40,000
I think that, well, I know what I do know, because I checked the numbers, right?

1768
02:39:40,000 --> 02:39:42,000
I'm going to be responsible.

1769
02:39:42,000 --> 02:39:50,000
And what I do know is that we have over $950 million in our reserves.

1770
02:39:50,000 --> 02:39:56,000
We have the amount, which represents 16.7% of our entire budget.

1771
02:39:56,000 --> 02:40:04,000
We have the amount that the general accounting principles says through their best practices,

1772
02:40:04,000 --> 02:40:06,000
we should have.

1773
02:40:06,000 --> 02:40:09,000
And this is not a hedge fund.

1774
02:40:09,000 --> 02:40:17,000
This is a government entity that is mandated to take care of our most vulnerable communities.

1775
02:40:17,000 --> 02:40:19,000
That is not anything we made up.

1776
02:40:19,000 --> 02:40:26,000
And the last thing I'll say is, I remember when the reserves conversation was being had,

1777
02:40:26,000 --> 02:40:31,000
before I even thought I would be a supervisor that has always been an issue in our community,

1778
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:39,000
and that wasn't a direct impact of what is going on now at the federal government,

1779
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:44,000
because we have seen over the years, and you can throw in the state here too, right?

1780
02:40:44,000 --> 02:40:49,000
I don't care what we blame, but it's been an issue where people have been suffering for a while,

1781
02:40:49,000 --> 02:40:54,000
and we have been sitting on money on top of money and hoarding it here at the county.

1782
02:40:54,000 --> 02:40:59,000
So that is, I just believe we can be physically responsible,

1783
02:40:59,000 --> 02:41:03,000
and we can be morally responsive to our constituency.

1784
02:41:03,000 --> 02:41:05,000
No matter what district they live in.

1785
02:41:05,000 --> 02:41:08,000
So appreciate the discussion.

1786
02:41:08,000 --> 02:41:10,000
Thank you very much.

1787
02:41:10,000 --> 02:41:11,000
Super, sir.

1788
02:41:11,000 --> 02:41:12,000
Thank you.

1789
02:41:12,000 --> 02:41:14,000
First of all, I like to stir off.

1790
02:41:14,000 --> 02:41:18,000
I think in our staff for doing such an outstanding job.

1791
02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:21,000
When you made the motion,

1792
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:25,000
oh, I don't see it anywhere.

1793
02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:28,000
You know, I want to make sure items are in it.

1794
02:41:28,000 --> 02:41:29,000
Great.

1795
02:41:29,000 --> 02:41:31,000
You went quickly, and I don't want to hold everybody up.

1796
02:41:31,000 --> 02:41:36,000
I want to make sure that the $2.8 million for the shallow rent subsidies in it.

1797
02:41:36,000 --> 02:41:41,000
The $34.3 million for the new Ramona Sheriff stations in it.

1798
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:46,000
The $460,000 for this again, so fire station is in it.

1799
02:41:46,000 --> 02:41:53,000
And that the $265.9 million for roads and infrastructure are in it.

1800
02:41:53,000 --> 02:41:58,000
Those who have been in eight, but when you called out individual items in it,

1801
02:41:58,000 --> 02:42:04,000
I didn't know if we skipped over or missing those dollar rounds are important to me.

1802
02:42:04,000 --> 02:42:06,000
Thank you.

1803
02:42:06,000 --> 02:42:07,000
Super, sir.

1804
02:42:08,000 --> 02:42:12,000
So I'm going to turn that to Joan to make sure I could look at my motion.

1805
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:13,000
Whoever's more fishing here.

1806
02:42:13,000 --> 02:42:19,000
So I understand the items that you listed are in the CAOs recommended budget,

1807
02:42:19,000 --> 02:42:23,000
which was released to the public in May.

1808
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:28,000
And so those items that we highlighted today were just those revisions to the recommended budget.

1809
02:42:28,000 --> 02:42:30,000
The revisions don't include taking anything out.

1810
02:42:30,000 --> 02:42:32,000
So those things that you listed are in the budget.

1811
02:42:32,000 --> 02:42:33,000
Okay.

1812
02:42:33,000 --> 02:42:34,000
So it's all in there.

1813
02:42:34,000 --> 02:42:35,000
Yeah.

1814
02:42:35,000 --> 02:42:36,000
Thank you very much.

1815
02:42:36,000 --> 02:42:37,000
Thank you for the clarity.

1816
02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:38,000
Okay.

1817
02:42:38,000 --> 02:42:39,000
Thank you very much.

1818
02:42:39,000 --> 02:42:41,000
We have a motion in a second.

1819
02:42:41,000 --> 02:42:43,000
Please vote.

1820
02:42:43,000 --> 02:42:48,000
Also, note for the record that in a rata was distributed in post of online yesterday

1821
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:52,000
that made amendments to the resolutions that are being considered to revise references to

1822
02:42:52,000 --> 02:42:54,000
applicable county budget acquisitions.

1823
02:42:54,000 --> 02:42:57,000
Motion went incorporate the edits in the arada.

1824
02:42:57,000 --> 02:43:00,000
And with that, Charleston, remember that motion passes unanimously.

1825
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:02,000
With all supervisors being present in voting aye.

1826
02:43:02,000 --> 02:43:03,000
Okay.

1827
02:43:03,000 --> 02:43:06,000
So we're moving on to item 10.

1828
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:13,000
This is the second consideration and adoption of ordinance modernizing the San Diego county charter,

1829
02:43:13,000 --> 02:43:15,000
district and transparency accountability.

1830
02:43:15,000 --> 02:43:16,000
An independent oversight.

1831
02:43:16,000 --> 02:43:18,000
We'll begin with public comment.

1832
02:43:18,000 --> 02:43:19,000
Thank you.

1833
02:43:19,000 --> 02:43:20,000
Charleston, remember.

1834
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:22,000
We have 42 requests to speak on this item.

1835
02:43:22,000 --> 02:43:25,000
24 in person and 18 requesting to speak by phone.

1836
02:43:25,000 --> 02:43:28,000
Also, note that we received 144 e-commence.

1837
02:43:28,000 --> 02:43:30,000
82 in support.

1838
02:43:30,000 --> 02:43:33,000
156 in opposition and one neutral.

1839
02:43:33,000 --> 02:43:36,000
Friendly individuals that requested to speak an item 10 by phone.

1840
02:43:36,000 --> 02:43:40,000
Please dial in the conference sign using the instructions that were provided to you.

1841
02:43:40,000 --> 02:43:42,000
We'll begin with the in person speakers.

1842
02:43:42,000 --> 02:43:45,000
As your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak

1843
02:43:45,000 --> 02:43:46,000
of the podium.

1844
02:43:46,000 --> 02:43:48,000
Because there are ten and more speakers on the side of you.

1845
02:43:48,000 --> 02:43:50,000
You'll have one minute to address the board.

1846
02:43:50,000 --> 02:43:53,000
You'll ask you to begin by stating your name for the audio record.

1847
02:43:53,000 --> 02:43:55,000
I will call you in groups of three.

1848
02:43:55,000 --> 02:43:57,000
So please listen for your name.

1849
02:43:57,000 --> 02:44:00,000
Like to invite for the first three individuals.

1850
02:44:00,000 --> 02:44:01,000
Bride a lead strum.

1851
02:44:01,000 --> 02:44:02,000
No way yet yet.

1852
02:44:02,000 --> 02:44:03,000
And create a few.

1853
02:44:03,000 --> 02:44:05,000
I've called your name.

1854
02:44:05,000 --> 02:44:07,000
Come forward, please.

1855
02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:22,000
Hello.

1856
02:44:22,000 --> 02:44:24,000
Bride a lead strum.

1857
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:25,000
District 3.

1858
02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:28,000
This proposal is deceptive and inaccurate.

1859
02:44:28,000 --> 02:44:30,000
When you state, when you state, when you state,

1860
02:44:30,000 --> 02:44:34,000
it strengthens transparency, accountability, and independent oversight.

1861
02:44:34,000 --> 02:44:37,000
You know that is not true.

1862
02:44:37,000 --> 02:44:40,000
Use supervisors will control appointments,

1863
02:44:40,000 --> 02:44:45,000
removals, and administrative processes of the bodies doing the independent oversight.

1864
02:44:45,000 --> 02:44:50,000
How on earth is this transparent accountable or independent?

1865
02:44:50,000 --> 02:44:54,000
Also, the conclusions are advisory, not obligatory.

1866
02:44:54,000 --> 02:44:57,000
Also, you were elected by voters for two terms.

1867
02:44:57,000 --> 02:44:59,000
That was a contact.

1868
02:44:59,000 --> 02:45:00,000
Now you're extending.

1869
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:19,000
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.

1870
02:45:19,000 --> 02:45:26,000
Thank you. Next speaker, please.

1871
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:30,000
Good afternoon, Board. My name is Noah Yik. I'm a researcher with the Center on Policy Initiatives.

1872
02:45:30,000 --> 02:45:38,000
Our county plays a crucial role in the lives of Sandiagans. It helps people stay housed, put on the table and access the care and services they need.

1873
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:46,000
With the 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?

1874
02:45:46,000 --> 02:45:52,000
Right now, our government is left to answer that question on its own, which leaves communities without real accountability.

1875
02:45:52,000 --> 02:46:01,000
These reforms change that and are designed to be implemented without new cost to taxpayers, using what we already have more wisely in making our county work better for Sandiagans.

1876
02:46:01,000 --> 02:46:08,000
An independent program auditor ensures we are measuring real impact, whether people's lives are improving and whether Sandiagans have what they need.

1877
02:46:08,000 --> 02:46:17,000
An independent budget analyst ensures decisions are grounded in clear, honest information, so resources are spent equitably and prioritize communities with the greatest need.

1878
02:46:17,000 --> 02:46:23,000
Every dollar, every single public dollar shouldn't prove the lives of Sandiagans. Please vote yes to put these reforms on the ballot.

1879
02:46:23,000 --> 02:46:27,000
Give Sandiagans the power to shape what kind of county we want to live in.

1880
02:46:27,000 --> 02:46:29,000
Thank you.

1881
02:46:29,000 --> 02:46:32,000
Thank you. So next speaker is coming forward all night three to two speakers.

1882
02:46:32,000 --> 02:46:37,000
Dolly Madison, David the Veen and Andrew Lawson.

1883
02:46:37,000 --> 02:46:45,000
Good afternoon supervisors. My name is Karina Pue, my pronouns are she her and I'm here today by Fon Bahaaf of the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

1884
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:48,000
Asking you all to vote in support of this item.

1885
02:46:48,000 --> 02:46:53,000
Transparency and governance is essential to ensuring that our community can properly advocate for themselves.

1886
02:46:53,000 --> 02:47:01,000
Additionally, adding independent oversight options including an independent budget analyst who will help our county spend dollars more equitably effectively and efficiently.

1887
02:47:01,000 --> 02:47:05,000
Please support this item and government transparency. Thank you.

1888
02:47:06,000 --> 02:47:07,000
Thank you.

1889
02:47:07,000 --> 02:47:09,000
Excuse me please.

1890
02:47:09,000 --> 02:47:11,000
Good morning supervisors.

1891
02:47:11,000 --> 02:47:14,000
Good afternoon now. My name is David Levine.

1892
02:47:14,000 --> 02:47:20,000
I'm a deputy public defender and I'm a board member of the Public Defenders Association of San Diego County.

1893
02:47:20,000 --> 02:47:26,000
The PDA supports item 10 independent fiscal analysis serves workers.

1894
02:47:26,000 --> 02:47:32,000
It serves taxpayers and it serves the public interest in knowing what the county can actually afford.

1895
02:47:33,000 --> 02:47:36,000
The PDA is a direct interest in one provision of this measure.

1896
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:40,000
The option to appoint the county public defender by ordinance.

1897
02:47:40,000 --> 02:47:47,000
We will be watching that closely. Public defense depends on independence from the government we are required to check.

1898
02:47:47,000 --> 02:47:50,000
The county may write the check for the public defense.

1899
02:47:50,000 --> 02:47:53,000
The public defense must be free to check the county.

1900
02:47:53,000 --> 02:47:56,000
Thank you.

1901
02:47:56,000 --> 02:47:59,000
Thank you. Next speaker please.

1902
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:01,000
Dean Madison.

1903
02:48:01,000 --> 02:48:05,000
Speaking today, I have accepted your one minute time frame.

1904
02:48:05,000 --> 02:48:09,000
I have entered into a contract and when that you will hold me to.

1905
02:48:09,000 --> 02:48:13,000
Is it fair if I should take more time just because I want more time?

1906
02:48:13,000 --> 02:48:14,000
No.

1907
02:48:14,000 --> 02:48:19,000
Voters voted for a specific term for the San Diego County supervisors.

1908
02:48:19,000 --> 02:48:22,000
You won eight years. That is what you get.

1909
02:48:22,000 --> 02:48:24,000
That is what you agreed to.

1910
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:28,000
That is what the people you represent agreed to.

1911
02:48:28,000 --> 02:48:38,000
This is a dishonest attempt to extend your term by amending the charter and appearing with other ideas that sound good and have the look of transparency and accountability.

1912
02:48:38,000 --> 02:48:43,000
What you are doing is attempting to lock in your majority.

1913
02:48:43,000 --> 02:48:56,000
Would it be, would it be okay if President Trump to try and change the rules to gain another term after serving eight years when he has finished his term should he be able to get it for more years?

1914
02:48:56,000 --> 02:48:57,000
No.

1915
02:48:57,000 --> 02:48:59,000
Don't be selfish.

1916
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:03,000
Let others San Diego and have the opportunity to serve the community.

1917
02:49:03,000 --> 02:49:04,000
Thank you.

1918
02:49:04,000 --> 02:49:07,000
I'd like to invite four to three additional speakers.

1919
02:49:07,000 --> 02:49:11,000
Oliver Twist, allegedly Audra, a Natalie Rashke.

1920
02:49:27,000 --> 02:49:29,000
Hi. Good afternoon.

1921
02:49:29,000 --> 02:49:32,000
So yes, I adamantly oppose this.

1922
02:49:32,000 --> 02:49:34,000
Again, for people that do oppose no kings.

1923
02:49:34,000 --> 02:49:37,000
How are we getting three queens up on the dias?

1924
02:49:37,000 --> 02:49:40,000
Before I get to, I do want to start out with an apology.

1925
02:49:40,000 --> 02:49:42,000
This is for your CAO step.

1926
02:49:42,000 --> 02:49:43,000
I made the term.

1927
02:49:43,000 --> 02:49:46,000
I use a term covering up and I want to be really clear.

1928
02:49:46,000 --> 02:49:49,000
I was talking about semanticly, smoke and mirrors covering up.

1929
02:49:49,000 --> 02:49:51,000
Not any indication of wrongdoing.

1930
02:49:51,000 --> 02:49:54,000
I greatly respect your CAO and her staff.

1931
02:49:54,000 --> 02:49:56,000
And so I just want to make it really clear.

1932
02:49:56,000 --> 02:49:58,000
I was talking semantically only.

1933
02:49:58,000 --> 02:50:02,000
And now back to our no queens programming.

1934
02:50:02,000 --> 02:50:07,000
When we have bureaucracy, this out of control, the solution is not more government.

1935
02:50:07,000 --> 02:50:10,000
Nor people that point their own oversight.

1936
02:50:10,000 --> 02:50:12,000
I use a term loosely oversight.

1937
02:50:12,000 --> 02:50:14,000
So you've got to stop that right now.

1938
02:50:14,000 --> 02:50:18,000
Rapping it up and all the feel good stuff is a dog pill and a marshmallow.

1939
02:50:18,000 --> 02:50:21,000
Or as I like to say in San Diego, a turd and a taco.

1940
02:50:21,000 --> 02:50:22,000
It stinks.

1941
02:50:22,000 --> 02:50:24,000
Don't give yourself a more term.

1942
02:50:24,000 --> 02:50:26,000
No more queens in San Diego.

1943
02:50:26,000 --> 02:50:28,000
It's just more political theater.

1944
02:50:28,000 --> 02:50:29,000
Thank you.

1945
02:50:29,000 --> 02:50:31,000
Thank you.

1946
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:40,000
Next speaker, please.

1947
02:50:40,000 --> 02:50:47,000
I've significant concerns regarding you guys with transparency and accountability.

1948
02:50:47,000 --> 02:50:50,000
You can't even run a meeting.

1949
02:50:50,000 --> 02:50:55,000
So making sure that the fundamentals of doing that are followed, which would be having

1950
02:50:55,000 --> 02:50:56,000
a quorum.

1951
02:50:56,000 --> 02:51:02,000
Tara, suddenly you have a disability that would allow for you to not show your face on camera when

1952
02:51:02,000 --> 02:51:04,000
Monica and put to Paloma word.

1953
02:51:04,000 --> 02:51:09,000
The only ones here, therefore leaving it to be that there was no quorum.

1954
02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:11,000
And yet, you guys continue.

1955
02:51:11,000 --> 02:51:13,000
I'm not sure why you showed up now.

1956
02:51:13,000 --> 02:51:18,000
And it's interesting that you brought Eva Kai here because, you know, it's like I'm talking about

1957
02:51:19,000 --> 02:51:22,000
mothers that you're terminating and then you go ahead and give her a kiss.

1958
02:51:22,000 --> 02:51:24,000
Kind of like a fuck you.

1959
02:51:24,000 --> 02:51:29,000
I have my child and they don't because it'd be like me going to somebody who's homeless and asking

1960
02:51:29,000 --> 02:51:34,000
for food while I've got it in my hand and I take a bite and I just walk away.

1961
02:51:34,000 --> 02:51:40,000
So it is disgraceful that you do stuff like that to virtue signal as though you are, you know,

1962
02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:45,000
somehow better than the mothers each time I ate their parental rights up.

1963
02:51:46,000 --> 02:51:47,000
Thank you.

1964
02:51:47,000 --> 02:51:52,000
As the next, I'd like to invite three additional speakers, Doyle Morrison, Alicia Morrison and

1965
02:51:52,000 --> 02:51:53,000
Marco Espinoza.

1966
02:52:06,000 --> 02:52:08,000
Hello Board of Supervisors.

1967
02:52:08,000 --> 02:52:10,000
My name is Doyle Morrison for the record.

1968
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:21,000
I have those this charter reform on the basis that three terms is unclear whether or not

1969
02:52:21,000 --> 02:52:23,000
that's retroactive.

1970
02:52:23,000 --> 02:52:30,000
So I have my posing this because I believe that the three terms will start once this is approved.

1971
02:52:30,000 --> 02:52:35,000
If it's voted on by the voters and I totally disagree with that.

1972
02:52:35,000 --> 02:52:39,000
I think that two terms would be enough for you guys to do the great work

1973
02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:46,000
that you're working on now and then you can move on further up the chain and do more better work

1974
02:52:46,000 --> 02:52:48,000
for our community at a higher level.

1975
02:52:48,000 --> 02:52:54,000
So I appreciate what you do and I want you to do more but I think two terms is enough.

1976
02:52:54,000 --> 02:52:57,000
Thank you.

1977
02:52:57,000 --> 02:52:58,000
Thank you.

1978
02:52:58,000 --> 02:53:03,000
Next speaker please.

1979
02:53:03,000 --> 02:53:07,000
Can we just pause one moment please.

1980
02:53:07,000 --> 02:53:15,000
It's been brought to my attention that there was a profanity utilized in this chamber and

1981
02:53:15,000 --> 02:53:16,000
another language.

1982
02:53:16,000 --> 02:53:20,000
I'm seeing knots of affirmation.

1983
02:53:20,000 --> 02:53:22,000
That is not acceptable.

1984
02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:24,000
That is not appropriate.

1985
02:53:24,000 --> 02:53:30,000
We do have a board policy against that kind of language in this chamber.

1986
02:53:31,000 --> 02:53:34,000
I'd be don't need to go backwards.

1987
02:53:34,000 --> 02:53:36,000
We will go forwards but this is one warning.

1988
02:53:36,000 --> 02:53:43,000
If we hear that kind of profanity again directed at anyone, you will be asked to leave the chamber.

1989
02:53:43,000 --> 02:53:46,000
Thank you.

1990
02:53:46,000 --> 02:53:48,000
Good afternoon.

1991
02:53:48,000 --> 02:53:50,000
Alicia Morrison.

1992
02:53:50,000 --> 02:53:55,000
I respectfully oppose this item, especially increasing three terms.

1993
02:53:55,000 --> 02:54:03,000
June 8, 2010 voters passed property to amend the charter to limit board supervisors to two terms.

1994
02:54:03,000 --> 02:54:08,000
Let's not forget what happened on January 6, 2021.

1995
02:54:08,000 --> 02:54:09,000
Because what is next?

1996
02:54:09,000 --> 02:54:13,000
The 20 second amendment of the US Constitution.

1997
02:54:13,000 --> 02:54:15,000
It was proposed to amend it.

1998
02:54:15,000 --> 02:54:18,000
It was introduced on January 23, 2025.

1999
02:54:18,000 --> 02:54:22,000
To increase the number of times a person can be elected as president.

2000
02:54:22,000 --> 02:54:24,000
Let me repeat that.

2001
02:54:24,000 --> 02:54:28,000
It was introduced on January 23, 2025.

2002
02:54:28,000 --> 02:54:33,000
To increase the number of times a person can be elected as president.

2003
02:54:33,000 --> 02:54:35,000
That is very scary thought.

2004
02:54:35,000 --> 02:54:38,000
Comments were made earlier about the Trump administration.

2005
02:54:38,000 --> 02:54:40,000
Imagine a third term for Donald Trump.

2006
02:54:40,000 --> 02:54:44,000
You had eight years to do work hard for your district.

2007
02:54:44,000 --> 02:54:48,000
So set up the success for the next person and pass the taunt.

2008
02:54:48,000 --> 02:54:50,000
Thank you.

2009
02:54:50,000 --> 02:54:53,000
This is the next speaker is coming forward on by three additional speakers.

2010
02:54:53,000 --> 02:54:58,000
C.K. Calderon Vargas, Fernanda Flores, and Jocelyn.

2011
02:54:58,000 --> 02:55:01,000
Afternoon, Marcos Nosa.

2012
02:55:01,000 --> 02:55:04,000
I apologize for my ignorance on this item.

2013
02:55:04,000 --> 02:55:07,000
I was expecting a presentation beforehand.

2014
02:55:07,000 --> 02:55:15,000
I did not educate myself on the agenda much before I really came today for what happened earlier this morning.

2015
02:55:15,000 --> 02:55:19,000
And now I'm just here because the view is nice and I like being here.

2016
02:55:19,000 --> 02:55:22,000
But I'm learning from the other public speakers.

2017
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:25,000
And while the title and everything sounds great, I do like.

2018
02:55:25,000 --> 02:55:32,000
I did hear that even prior to right now about potentially going to three terms.

2019
02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:35,000
I don't think I like that.

2020
02:55:35,000 --> 02:55:38,000
I really did give it to consideration.

2021
02:55:38,000 --> 02:55:41,000
When I first heard about it a couple of days ago or weeks ago.

2022
02:55:41,000 --> 02:55:44,000
I like two terms.

2023
02:55:44,000 --> 02:55:46,000
Yeah, that feels right.

2024
02:55:46,000 --> 02:55:48,000
That's my opinion on that.

2025
02:55:48,000 --> 02:55:53,000
And if it did happen though, I would hope that it doesn't reset to where it gives you whole new three terms.

2026
02:55:53,000 --> 02:55:56,000
You just want additional term.

2027
02:55:56,000 --> 02:55:59,000
That would sit better with me than our whole reset.

2028
02:55:59,000 --> 02:56:01,000
Thank you.

2029
02:56:01,000 --> 02:56:04,000
Next speaker, please.

2030
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:06,000
Good afternoon.

2031
02:56:06,000 --> 02:56:07,000
Chair, supervisors.

2032
02:56:07,000 --> 02:56:09,000
My name is Ike Calderon Vargas.

2033
02:56:09,000 --> 02:56:14,000
I'm the director of Latino services at the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

2034
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:17,000
I speak in strong support of item 10.

2035
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:22,000
The families I serve rely on this county for health care, legal defense and safety.

2036
02:56:22,000 --> 02:56:25,000
Especially now as federal cuts threaten those services.

2037
02:56:25,000 --> 02:56:29,000
In a government this large transparency is not a luxury.

2038
02:56:29,000 --> 02:56:32,000
It is how our communities know this system is working for them.

2039
02:56:32,000 --> 02:56:37,000
And independent ethics commission and independent budget analyst.

2040
02:56:37,000 --> 02:56:41,000
And independent auditor and a budget.

2041
02:56:41,000 --> 02:56:46,000
The public can actually see these are the checks or residents deserve.

2042
02:56:46,000 --> 02:56:50,000
Please move this measure forward and let the voters decide in November.

2043
02:56:50,000 --> 02:56:53,000
Thank you.

2044
02:56:53,000 --> 02:56:55,000
Thank you.

2045
02:56:55,000 --> 02:56:56,000
Good afternoon.

2046
02:56:56,000 --> 02:56:57,000
Supervisors.

2047
02:56:57,000 --> 02:56:58,000
My name is Fetananda Flores.

2048
02:56:58,000 --> 02:57:00,000
I'm with IOTC local 122.

2049
02:57:00,000 --> 02:57:05,000
We represent everything that has to do with live event and production here in Southern California.

2050
02:57:05,000 --> 02:57:09,000
Currently representing 1500 members.

2051
02:57:09,000 --> 02:57:13,000
We are here in full support of advancing this forward.

2052
02:57:13,000 --> 02:57:19,000
You have our continued commitment to getting this not only past today but also past in November at the ballot.

2053
02:57:19,000 --> 02:57:23,000
You have done an incredible job with the resources that you have.

2054
02:57:23,000 --> 02:57:28,000
There are government entities that are half the have budgets have the size of the county.

2055
02:57:28,000 --> 02:57:30,000
And they have these departments in place.

2056
02:57:30,000 --> 02:57:36,000
You all deserve those things too to be a tool to make better decisions and move our county forward.

2057
02:57:36,000 --> 02:57:38,000
So we have our support.

2058
02:57:38,000 --> 02:57:40,000
Thank you.

2059
02:57:40,000 --> 02:57:41,000
Thank you.

2060
02:57:41,000 --> 02:57:43,000
Like to buy for three additional speakers.

2061
02:57:43,000 --> 02:57:45,000
Alexander Valentin.

2062
02:57:45,000 --> 02:57:49,000
Malik Thornton and Matthew Careney.

2063
02:57:49,000 --> 02:57:50,000
Hi.

2064
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:54,000
I'm here to refute the content and title of this proposal.

2065
02:57:54,000 --> 02:57:59,000
The word transparent accountability and independent oversight sounds so good.

2066
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:01,000
However, this bill does not.

2067
02:58:01,000 --> 02:58:04,000
Does not out these purported actions.

2068
02:58:04,000 --> 02:58:11,000
How is it independent oversight when the Board of Supervisor gets to determine who gets hired and who gets dismissed.

2069
02:58:11,000 --> 02:58:13,000
When they don't like the outcome.

2070
02:58:13,000 --> 02:58:21,000
You people on the left freak out, freaked out when President Trump says that he's going to be in office for the third term.

2071
02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:23,000
And how is this?

2072
02:58:23,000 --> 02:58:29,000
What you're doing is the truly authoritarian and it is this ingenious.

2073
02:58:29,000 --> 02:58:33,000
So don't don't don't don't don't pass this bill.

2074
02:58:33,000 --> 02:58:34,000
Thank you.

2075
02:58:34,000 --> 02:58:35,000
Can you please state your name for the record?

2076
02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:36,000
Oh yeah.

2077
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:37,000
Jocelyn.

2078
02:58:37,000 --> 02:58:40,000
Thank you.

2079
02:58:40,000 --> 02:58:42,000
Hello, my name is Alexander Valentine.

2080
02:58:42,000 --> 02:58:46,000
I'm a deputy public defender and a board member from the San Diego Public Defender Association.

2081
02:58:46,000 --> 02:58:52,000
I support item 10 as it promotes transparency and ethical practices related to San Diego County's budget.

2082
02:58:52,000 --> 02:59:00,000
At the same time, I would note opposition to item 13 as transparency can be taken too far and limit government operations in restrict functionality.

2083
02:59:00,000 --> 02:59:05,000
Transparency is the foundation of public trust, especially in relation to the county's budget.

2084
02:59:05,000 --> 02:59:10,000
San Diego County residents and county employees deserve the opportunity to see how budget decisions are reached,

2085
02:59:10,000 --> 02:59:14,000
who was involved in what information is being considered an allocation of funds.

2086
02:59:14,000 --> 02:59:20,000
They're proposed ordinance and item 10 for independent oversight is an important step toward ensuring openness, accountability,

2087
02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:25,000
and engagement, especially when determining budget allocation and use of public funds.

2088
02:59:25,000 --> 02:59:33,000
Our county continues to grow and necessary departments like the public defender deserve transparency from the county when budget decisions are being made.

2089
02:59:33,000 --> 02:59:35,000
Transparency is not just good governance.

2090
02:59:35,000 --> 02:59:39,000
It is a commitment to the people being served in the employees serving the community.

2091
02:59:39,000 --> 02:59:41,000
Thank you.

2092
02:59:41,000 --> 02:59:42,000
Thank you.

2093
02:59:42,000 --> 02:59:44,000
Go ahead and call three additional speakers.

2094
02:59:44,000 --> 02:59:46,000
Vanessa Melendrez.

2095
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:48,000
Crystal Irving and Michelle Krug.

2096
02:59:48,000 --> 02:59:49,000
I've called your name.

2097
02:59:49,000 --> 02:59:50,000
Please come forward.

2098
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:29,720
Good afternoon, board. My name is Vanessa Melendrez and I'm with the Filipino Workers Center with offices in Vista and Chulivista. 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 bow yes on these reforms. Because who, and expected to call up so fast?

2099
03:00:29,720 --> 03:00:51,720
Please bow yes in support of this item because transparency is good governance and it's essential to ensuring our community can properly advocate for themselves. Additionally, adding independent oversight options and including an independent budget analyst will help the county spend their dollars more effectively. Thank you so much.

2100
03:00:51,720 --> 03:00:54,720
Thank you. Next speaker, please.

2101
03:00:54,720 --> 03:00:56,720
I don't have questions here.

2102
03:00:56,720 --> 03:00:59,720
Michelle, come on up. Thank you.

2103
03:01:06,720 --> 03:01:16,720
Good afternoon, Michelle Krug and I strongly support this ordinance and I will work to get it passed.

2104
03:01:16,720 --> 03:01:23,720
I think that the transparency is other people have said before is a long time coming.

2105
03:01:23,720 --> 03:01:26,720
It definitely will make a difference.

2106
03:01:26,720 --> 03:01:33,720
I also think that when people are talking about getting 12 years, you don't just get 12 years.

2107
03:01:33,720 --> 03:01:38,720
What you get is the opportunity for the people to make a decision.

2108
03:01:38,720 --> 03:01:54,720
And I trust that. And the bottom line is that when people have that decision, this also puts us on par with the state.

2109
03:01:54,720 --> 03:02:01,720
And I think we have been in a disadvantaged situation because our county only has eight years.

2110
03:02:01,720 --> 03:02:08,720
I think keeping it on par with the state will allow us to be able to work more effectively as partners.

2111
03:02:08,720 --> 03:02:09,720
Thank you.

2112
03:02:09,720 --> 03:02:10,720
Thank you.

2113
03:02:10,720 --> 03:02:14,720
As the next speaker is coming forward on by the remaining speakers in person.

2114
03:02:14,720 --> 03:02:19,720
Marco Brionis, one of your Frank and Michelle Quavos.

2115
03:02:19,720 --> 03:02:24,720
Crystal Irving, President of the SCIU local 221 speaking of favor of this item.

2116
03:02:24,720 --> 03:02:28,720
No one knows better than the county employees that SCIU 221 represents.

2117
03:02:28,720 --> 03:02:32,720
The challenges that our county faces in the current national environment.

2118
03:02:32,720 --> 03:02:40,720
No one knows better than our members. The importance of providing quality services that the community depends on now more than ever.

2119
03:02:40,720 --> 03:02:46,720
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the dozens of stakeholders that provided feedback in input on this proposal.

2120
03:02:46,720 --> 03:02:54,720
It is a comprehensive proposal that provides for transparency, accountability from both county staff leadership and elected officials alike.

2121
03:02:54,720 --> 03:03:08,720
That will help to support our employees and the communities that we're delivering services to, which include our children, our elderly, our vulnerable and quite frankly, all sandy agents who benefit from it either directly or indirectly.

2122
03:03:08,720 --> 03:03:11,720
This is the right proposal to bring to the voters in November.

2123
03:03:11,720 --> 03:03:17,720
And we believe this is the right path forward for our county. Thank you.

2124
03:03:18,720 --> 03:03:22,720
I'll go ahead and recall some of the previous speakers.

2125
03:03:22,720 --> 03:03:33,720
Andrew Lawson, Natalie Rashke, Malik Thornton, Matthew Kerney, Marco Brionis, quite of your Frank and Michelle Quavos.

2126
03:03:33,720 --> 03:03:38,720
Awesome. Thank you so much.

2127
03:03:38,720 --> 03:03:41,720
Thank you. The Board of Supervisors for allowing me to speak today.

2128
03:03:41,720 --> 03:03:47,720
My name is Malik Thornton. I am a young professional who has lived in the San Diego county for my entire life.

2129
03:03:47,720 --> 03:03:51,720
And it's been two of my lifetimes since the charter has been reformed.

2130
03:03:51,720 --> 03:03:56,720
That means that it has been 48 years that we have not touched this charter.

2131
03:03:56,720 --> 03:04:01,720
That means that it slows down important policy that young people depend on.

2132
03:04:01,720 --> 03:04:09,720
That means that the Board of Supervisors has not had real accountability independent accountability for two of my lifetimes.

2133
03:04:09,720 --> 03:04:15,720
And that means that young people have suffered. And we are on the precipice of opportunity.

2134
03:04:15,720 --> 03:04:18,720
We have so much opportunity ahead of us.

2135
03:04:18,720 --> 03:04:25,720
But we will not be able to capitalize on those opportunities if you don't have policies and place that allow you to do your work.

2136
03:04:25,720 --> 03:04:27,720
Because we rely on you.

2137
03:04:27,720 --> 03:04:31,720
And so I encourage you that if you care about your young constituents.

2138
03:04:31,720 --> 03:04:36,720
If you want to make sure that we have a future that includes us, that we can have a house,

2139
03:04:36,720 --> 03:04:39,720
and not have to worry about being in debt for the rest of our lives.

2140
03:04:39,720 --> 03:04:42,720
Please, please make sure that you guys pay.

2141
03:04:42,720 --> 03:04:43,720
Thank you.

2142
03:04:43,720 --> 03:04:44,720
Thank you.

2143
03:04:44,720 --> 03:04:48,720
Well now here from the individuals that requested.

2144
03:04:48,720 --> 03:04:50,720
Did I call your names, sir?

2145
03:04:52,720 --> 03:04:53,720
Good afternoon.

2146
03:04:53,720 --> 03:04:54,720
Good afternoon, Supervisors.

2147
03:04:54,720 --> 03:04:57,720
Mark O'Bion is political director of the San Diego and Imperial County's labor counsel.

2148
03:04:57,720 --> 03:05:02,720
We're proud to represent over 100 unions and 200,000 working families in our border region.

2149
03:05:02,720 --> 03:05:07,720
We're here today because we believe modernizing the county charter and insurance transparent and countable leadership.

2150
03:05:07,720 --> 03:05:12,720
The kind of county government that workers and working families rely on for fair and effective public services.

2151
03:05:12,720 --> 03:05:18,720
A more accountable county government helps ensure that policies serve the entire community, not just narrow interest.

2152
03:05:18,720 --> 03:05:22,720
The people get accountability by being at the table and this measure does that.

2153
03:05:22,720 --> 03:05:26,720
These are just a few of the reasons we're proud to stand with this coalition of community members and leadership,

2154
03:05:26,720 --> 03:05:28,720
working towards a better county for all San Diego's.

2155
03:05:28,720 --> 03:05:29,720
We thank you.

2156
03:05:29,720 --> 03:05:33,720
Thank you for your support.

2157
03:05:33,720 --> 03:05:34,720
Thank you.

2158
03:05:34,720 --> 03:05:37,720
Next speaker.

2159
03:05:37,720 --> 03:05:38,720
Hey everyone.

2160
03:05:38,720 --> 03:05:39,720
My name is Gwen.

2161
03:05:39,720 --> 03:05:46,720
I'm a researcher at UCSD and a proud member of UW-4811 who represents over 10,000 workers in San Diego County.

2162
03:05:46,720 --> 03:05:49,720
And I wanted to voice our strong support for modernizing the charter.

2163
03:05:49,720 --> 03:05:58,720
We're in a period of time where as a country we're seeing blatant corrupt spending and outright swindling of American taxpayers at the highest levels of our government.

2164
03:05:59,720 --> 03:06:02,720
And I think it's more important than ever across all levels of government.

2165
03:06:02,720 --> 03:06:06,720
We established stringent structures to ensure transparency and accountability and spending.

2166
03:06:06,720 --> 03:06:14,720
So we can hold our elected officials accountable along with all other critical modernizations proposed to bring proposed to bring to our charter.

2167
03:06:14,720 --> 03:06:17,720
So us and our workers are in strong support.

2168
03:06:17,720 --> 03:06:19,720
Thank you.

2169
03:06:19,720 --> 03:06:20,720
Well now.

2170
03:06:20,720 --> 03:06:22,720
Next speaker please.

2171
03:06:23,720 --> 03:06:26,720
Hi.

2172
03:06:26,720 --> 03:06:27,720
My name is Dr. Michelle Quavis.

2173
03:06:27,720 --> 03:06:29,720
I'm a pediatric neuropsychologist.

2174
03:06:29,720 --> 03:06:32,720
But I'm here to represent the National Union of Health Care Workers.

2175
03:06:32,720 --> 03:06:37,720
I see lots of friendly faces that have been with us for our six and a half years of six and a half month strike.

2176
03:06:37,720 --> 03:06:45,720
But here I am here to represent an UHWS of supporting this transparency.

2177
03:06:45,720 --> 03:06:51,720
I want to be clear that the county is one of the largest purchasers and providers of health care.

2178
03:06:51,720 --> 03:07:02,720
And that the charter reform helps us create that transparency and ensuring that health care dollars are spent to the most appropriately for patient care.

2179
03:07:02,720 --> 03:07:05,720
Helping the most vulnerable in our community.

2180
03:07:05,720 --> 03:07:15,720
I'm also in large support for transparency, particularly related to the independent budget analysis and independent program auditor.

2181
03:07:15,720 --> 03:07:20,720
With respect to the allocation of funds for supporting our most vulnerable populations.

2182
03:07:20,720 --> 03:07:24,720
Thank you very much.

2183
03:07:24,720 --> 03:07:25,720
Thank you.

2184
03:07:25,720 --> 03:07:27,720
Well now hear from those that requested to speak by phone.

2185
03:07:27,720 --> 03:07:36,720
We'll start with our first caller.

2186
03:07:36,720 --> 03:07:43,720
All both, most of this is self-serving still and much, Parkinson politics.

2187
03:07:43,720 --> 03:07:50,720
But it doesn't do much for real transparency or independent oversight in the county government.

2188
03:07:50,720 --> 03:07:52,720
Notice the charter amendment.

2189
03:07:52,720 --> 03:07:56,720
The Queens are fake transparency in the county government.

2190
03:07:56,720 --> 03:07:58,720
We're a better than that.

2191
03:07:58,720 --> 03:08:01,720
No reason don't stand term limits.

2192
03:08:01,720 --> 03:08:07,720
And when something you're in term in the middle of it is a huge conflict of interest.

2193
03:08:07,720 --> 03:08:17,720
This proposal would also impose term limits on the sheriff DA and other county elected officials who currently have none.

2194
03:08:17,720 --> 03:08:21,720
Which by the way is against the state law.

2195
03:08:21,720 --> 03:08:24,720
If they all have the same term limit,

2196
03:08:24,720 --> 03:08:28,720
it guarantees officers with same political beliefs.

2197
03:08:28,720 --> 03:08:32,720
Nice to have a bunch of analysts on the program,

2198
03:08:32,720 --> 03:08:35,720
but these are political appointees.

2199
03:08:35,720 --> 03:08:38,720
And in no way independent.

2200
03:08:38,720 --> 03:08:40,720
We'll get.

2201
03:08:40,720 --> 03:08:47,720
We'll hear from the next caller.

2202
03:08:47,720 --> 03:08:49,720
A mental echo follow here.

2203
03:08:49,720 --> 03:08:53,720
And to the script is people parodying transparency.

2204
03:08:53,720 --> 03:08:55,720
Transparency clearly, again,

2205
03:08:55,720 --> 03:08:57,720
you're here.

2206
03:08:57,720 --> 03:08:59,720
Because you've been asked to be here.

2207
03:08:59,720 --> 03:09:02,720
Even more clearly is you are all.

2208
03:09:02,720 --> 03:09:05,720
You're truly not being attention to this board and they're lack of transparency in total opposition of this item.

2209
03:09:05,720 --> 03:09:09,500
Totally totally totally

2210
03:09:09,500 --> 03:09:16,720
terribly miss, especially for the ones like Tera who have proven that she's been totally involved in.

2211
03:09:16,720 --> 03:09:23,720
She's been totally abusive by taking advantage of the ignorant, not only abusive but entirely

2212
03:09:23,720 --> 03:09:25,720
entitled and privileged.

2213
03:09:25,720 --> 03:09:31,720
Honestly, how much time do you need to further destroy our county and further run it

2214
03:09:31,720 --> 03:09:32,720
to the ground?

2215
03:09:32,720 --> 03:09:34,720
But that's even possible.

2216
03:09:34,720 --> 03:09:40,720
I hope the people who put their face in this corrupt system and board wake up.

2217
03:09:41,720 --> 03:09:43,720
Truly question, everything.

2218
03:09:43,720 --> 03:09:47,720
Wake the freak up, seriously.

2219
03:09:47,720 --> 03:09:50,720
Ladies, man, total slaves.

2220
03:09:50,720 --> 03:09:52,720
I'm done.

2221
03:09:52,720 --> 03:10:03,720
I'm here from the next caller.

2222
03:10:03,720 --> 03:10:05,720
Good afternoon, my name is Terian Scally.

2223
03:10:05,720 --> 03:10:09,720
I came today to express my opposition to item 10.

2224
03:10:09,720 --> 03:10:12,720
I think a lot of these changes are useful.

2225
03:10:12,720 --> 03:10:19,720
However, they seem to clarify what seems to be the real purpose of the charter changes, which is to ensure

2226
03:10:19,720 --> 03:10:25,720
that you three board of supervisors supporting these charter changes will have a third term.

2227
03:10:25,720 --> 03:10:32,720
It seems, if you were really serious about these changes, you would bring them after the next election cycle.

2228
03:10:32,720 --> 03:10:38,720
I support transparency by independent bodies, but I noticed that nearly all of those opposed

2229
03:10:38,720 --> 03:10:44,720
are arguing in opposition because of the lengthening of the current board members' term.

2230
03:10:44,720 --> 03:10:48,720
Why are they both in the same ordinance?

2231
03:10:48,720 --> 03:10:57,720
Carter changes are serious and important to our county and need to be separated into different proposals and not lumped together.

2232
03:10:57,720 --> 03:11:01,720
Thank you for hearing my concerns this afternoon.

2233
03:11:01,720 --> 03:11:02,720
Thank you.

2234
03:11:02,720 --> 03:11:08,720
And we'll hear from our next caller.

2235
03:11:08,720 --> 03:11:16,720
My name is Kathleen Mippitt and good afternoon Councils Board.

2236
03:11:16,720 --> 03:11:25,720
No one will benefit by ensuring a third term except these three board majority.

2237
03:11:25,720 --> 03:11:31,720
And they should not be able to vote on an item that will benefit them.

2238
03:11:31,720 --> 03:11:39,720
Like many of the other items said are put forth whether it's on the agenda or whether it's by the board of supervisors.

2239
03:11:39,720 --> 03:11:45,720
There seems to be an intention to obscure and to get things passed the public.

2240
03:11:45,720 --> 03:11:51,720
You need to have simple straightforward language and this is not straightforward.

2241
03:11:51,720 --> 03:11:56,720
From the title it sounds like it's a great idea until you read the details.

2242
03:11:56,720 --> 03:11:59,720
And the dell is always in the details.

2243
03:11:59,720 --> 03:12:04,720
So please I oppose this and I think you can tell by the people who are there.

2244
03:12:04,720 --> 03:12:09,720
The only ones who have a conflict of interest are the ones who are supporting it.

2245
03:12:09,720 --> 03:12:12,720
Thank you for letting me speak.

2246
03:12:12,720 --> 03:12:13,720
Thank you.

2247
03:12:13,720 --> 03:12:15,720
We'll hear from the next caller.

2248
03:12:22,720 --> 03:12:23,720
Thank you.

2249
03:12:23,720 --> 03:12:25,720
Good afternoon and I oppose.

2250
03:12:25,720 --> 03:12:37,720
I've a cousin had adequate time to review very important details that deserves scrutiny, including items such as supervisory or control over employees and contracts.

2251
03:12:37,720 --> 03:12:41,720
We're starting term limits of two are sufficient for a U.S. president.

2252
03:12:41,720 --> 03:12:43,720
Their sufficient for supervisors.

2253
03:12:43,720 --> 03:12:52,720
It raises legitimate questions about who the interests are being served when elected officials write a measure that extends their own tenure.

2254
03:12:52,720 --> 03:12:58,720
Term limits are at the core of democracy meant to promote broader participation.

2255
03:12:58,720 --> 03:13:08,720
We do to undo influences, prevent corruption and bring diverse experiences and innovative ideas to policy making.

2256
03:13:08,720 --> 03:13:21,720
In reality, the most direct beneficiaries here are the supervisors placing it before the public under a really deceptive guys of charter modernization.

2257
03:13:21,720 --> 03:13:24,720
No on this item.

2258
03:13:24,720 --> 03:13:25,720
Thank you.

2259
03:13:25,720 --> 03:13:33,720
On the next caller.

2260
03:13:33,720 --> 03:13:35,720
Good afternoon.

2261
03:13:35,720 --> 03:13:37,720
My name is Becky Rappen.

2262
03:13:37,720 --> 03:13:42,720
While I support many of the transparency and accountability measures included in this proposal.

2263
03:13:42,720 --> 03:13:46,720
I urge you to reject this charter reform package of curtain written.

2264
03:13:46,720 --> 03:13:55,720
The report highlights several important additions including independent financial analysis, ethics oversight and improved public access to government information.

2265
03:13:55,720 --> 03:14:02,720
Unfortunately, those reforms have been bundled together with a proposal to increase term limits for county supervisors.

2266
03:14:03,720 --> 03:14:06,720
The people in the San Diego County have already spoken on this issue.

2267
03:14:06,720 --> 03:14:10,720
Voters approved the current two term limit because they believe.

2268
03:14:10,720 --> 03:14:19,720
Regular turnover and elective offices process promotes accountability and creates opportunities for new voices and perspectives.

2269
03:14:19,720 --> 03:14:28,720
Extending term limits by 50% is a major policy change and should not be packaged alongside popular transparency updates.

2270
03:14:28,720 --> 03:14:32,720
I'm also disappointed that there was no presentation for this item.

2271
03:14:32,720 --> 03:14:37,720
The public public wouldn't benefit from an explanation for each.

2272
03:14:37,720 --> 03:14:44,720
From the next caller.

2273
03:14:44,720 --> 03:14:47,720
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors.

2274
03:14:47,720 --> 03:14:49,720
Excuse me and will hear.

2275
03:14:49,720 --> 03:14:55,720
I call them because I think it's important for you to realize out here in the incorporated.

2276
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:11,000
There's estimated some 30-35% of those consider ourselves independent. And this optics does not work well for us.

2277
03:15:11,000 --> 03:15:21,000
Because it's clear that you have obstacles that really intent of the charter change to allow yourself a third term.

2278
03:15:21,000 --> 03:15:28,000
And no matter what else you want to accomplish, it's suspicious that it just isn't even included in the title,

2279
03:15:28,000 --> 03:15:33,000
what you really want to accomplish. If it's a good thing, why isn't it part of the title?

2280
03:15:33,000 --> 03:15:39,000
And if these are all really good things, why are they bundled? Why wouldn't we have a separate charter changes?

2281
03:15:39,000 --> 03:15:44,000
This would show how really valuable you fill each of the items are.

2282
03:15:44,000 --> 03:15:52,000
I, too, was looking forward to a staff presentation, because the explanations are real.

2283
03:15:53,000 --> 03:15:55,000
You, you're from the next caller.

2284
03:16:01,000 --> 03:16:05,000
Hey, it's truth. This item is the only reason. 20-minute late.

2285
03:16:05,000 --> 03:16:11,000
Comey mommy, Tara, it's here in person today. Using her baby as a prop. She wants to be crowned publicly.

2286
03:16:11,000 --> 03:16:16,000
Well, pride comes before a fall. We've seen your back and deals on everything from the CAO, which resulted in lawsuits.

2287
03:16:16,000 --> 03:16:22,000
So the center on policy initiative on these extended term ones that 60% of voters already opposed in 2010.

2288
03:16:22,000 --> 03:16:28,000
Maybe the reason Tara wanted supervisors to live from outside of their district is because she has a house in the city of San Diego.

2289
03:16:28,000 --> 03:16:30,000
And I'm going to allow the house in La Mesa.

2290
03:16:30,000 --> 03:16:35,000
Tara and her marionette, pride, babies, men, well-a, are not interested in transparency.

2291
03:16:35,000 --> 03:16:40,000
They're interested in a power grabs to create their personal wisdom and do a free UTSC, S.K.A.U.

2292
03:16:40,000 --> 03:16:44,000
and the building construction trades council both funded with our money.

2293
03:16:44,000 --> 03:16:53,000
Now, Tara represents 20-26 will be real accountability, especially since Tara was found guilty of abusing her authority at the part-time lower bar in North Park.

2294
03:16:53,000 --> 03:16:58,000
One of the queen's hair isn't bringing it to accountability, but she can't even commit to a meeting start time.

2295
03:16:58,000 --> 03:17:03,000
All she wants is to ensure her reign of terror is indefinite, no corrupt county queen.

2296
03:17:10,000 --> 03:17:15,000
Pam, let's just take a minute.

2297
03:17:15,000 --> 03:17:21,000
What is three Republican white men wanted extended term limits?

2298
03:17:21,000 --> 03:17:24,000
How would you three women react in?

2299
03:17:24,000 --> 03:17:29,000
This item has always been a scam, a lie, an insult to American citizens who vote for turn limits.

2300
03:17:29,000 --> 03:17:32,000
It is a paragraph by Queen Tara as her ladies and lady.

2301
03:17:32,000 --> 03:17:38,000
Monica, do you think you'll ever be chairwoman if Tara's on the board indefinitely?

2302
03:17:39,000 --> 03:17:46,000
The three women on this board are in over their head fancy and they can manage the multi-billion dollar budget, even with extended terms.

2303
03:17:46,000 --> 03:17:51,000
The board can be transparent and accountable beginning to day without changing the charter.

2304
03:17:51,000 --> 03:18:00,000
I'm going to engage it can be improved to day by lifting the restrictions on the public speakers as dictated by Queen Tara, especially though speaking in opposition.

2305
03:18:00,000 --> 03:18:04,000
Tara stands for no king's insurance of her hunger for more power.

2306
03:18:04,000 --> 03:18:08,000
Would you like that in its whole health behavior term?

2307
03:18:08,000 --> 03:18:09,000
Don't be her minion.

2308
03:18:09,000 --> 03:18:16,000
And we're tired of seeing the same activist begging for what they want, almost on their needs.

2309
03:18:16,000 --> 03:18:25,000
Under the next caller.

2310
03:18:25,000 --> 03:18:40,000
This supervisor is my name is Madison, and although I am a favor of modernizing the county charter and increasing chance fancy, I would ask you to vote no on this proposal because the San Diego county voters already decided that two terms is the appropriate limit for this office.

2311
03:18:40,000 --> 03:18:46,000
What concerns me most is that the officials who would directly benefit from this change are the ones advancing it.

2312
03:18:46,000 --> 03:18:55,000
Family restructuring with the high cost of living communities are concerned about public safety, homelessness, mental health, infrastructure and the future of our region.

2313
03:18:55,000 --> 03:18:57,000
Those are the issues that deserve our attention.

2314
03:18:57,000 --> 03:19:00,000
Not extending term limits for those already in power.

2315
03:19:00,000 --> 03:19:07,000
Our government is strongest when leadership is continually renewed and opportunities exist for new people to step forward and serve.

2316
03:19:07,000 --> 03:19:11,000
Our perspectives can bring new solutions to long-standing problems.

2317
03:19:11,000 --> 03:19:15,000
The voters established a two-term limit and that standard has served our county well.

2318
03:19:15,000 --> 03:19:21,000
I ask you to reject this proposal and preserve the term limits of San Diego county residents already chose.

2319
03:19:21,000 --> 03:19:23,000
Thank you.

2320
03:19:23,000 --> 03:19:25,000
Thank you.

2321
03:19:25,000 --> 03:19:34,000
And we're here from the next caller.

2322
03:19:34,000 --> 03:19:40,000
Afternoon, my name is Diane Grace and I am coming before you to vote.

2323
03:19:40,000 --> 03:19:48,000
Voice my opposition to item 10 which would advance the charter reform package to the November ballot.

2324
03:19:48,000 --> 03:19:59,000
It is costly to put such a divisive proposal on the ballot that will probably fail because of the editorials that have already been very negative.

2325
03:19:59,000 --> 03:20:07,000
Our oversight body should be truly independent and the language doesn't seem to support that.

2326
03:20:07,000 --> 03:20:14,000
And current supervisor should not benefit from changing their own term limits.

2327
03:20:14,000 --> 03:20:19,000
Voter should be allowed to consider each reform proposal separately.

2328
03:20:19,000 --> 03:20:28,000
The agenda item title doesn't tell you it's true intent that they want the present supervisors to have three terms.

2329
03:20:28,000 --> 03:20:35,000
We have mentioned before. Why not include this in the title. Thank you.

2330
03:20:35,000 --> 03:20:46,000
Thank you. And we're here from the final caller.

2331
03:20:46,000 --> 03:20:55,000
Good afternoon. My name is Marina Kada-Kashan. I'm a deputy public defender and a member of the San Diego Public Defenders Association.

2332
03:20:55,000 --> 03:20:59,000
And I'm here to express my support for item 10.

2333
03:20:59,000 --> 03:21:05,000
Transparency is the absolute foundation to public trust, particularly regarding our county's budget.

2334
03:21:05,000 --> 03:21:13,000
Our residents and hardworking county employees deserve full visibility into how our budget decisions are being reached.

2335
03:21:13,000 --> 03:21:18,000
Who's at the table and what data is driving the decisions that are being made?

2336
03:21:18,000 --> 03:21:27,000
For essential departments, like the public defender's office, clarity on decisions affecting our funding and affecting our budget are crucial.

2337
03:21:27,000 --> 03:21:37,000
Because it directly impacts our independent community members and our ability as an entire holistic office serving those independent community members.

2338
03:21:37,000 --> 03:21:49,000
This proposal strengthens independent ethics oversight, provides nonpartisan fiscal and budget analysis, and creates this independent evaluation of county programs.

2339
03:21:49,000 --> 03:21:51,000
So that's the public.

2340
03:21:51,000 --> 03:21:55,000
You're in sure last the room with that concludes public comment on this item.

2341
03:21:55,000 --> 03:21:58,000
Okay. Thank you all very much.

2342
03:21:58,000 --> 03:22:05,000
I guess I'll just begin happy to make a motion to prove this item.

2343
03:22:05,000 --> 03:22:12,000
I first just want to thank everyone for this has been a long process. There's been huge amounts of conversation and input.

2344
03:22:12,000 --> 03:22:27,000
People began putting these ideas forward a number of years ago and it's really been an iterative conversation where some good ideas emerge and some bad ideas emerge and bad ideas got tossed out and good ideas got stronger.

2345
03:22:27,000 --> 03:22:39,000
And the process of having these conversations made the package of reforms better and more powerful and I think that we've really arrived in a great place.

2346
03:22:39,000 --> 03:22:51,000
This has been a long stakeholder process driven by residents and community groups and business partners and our labor partners and I just want to thank you for your leadership.

2347
03:22:51,000 --> 03:22:56,000
This final version has made a number of changes and reflects a number of changes made along the way.

2348
03:22:56,000 --> 03:23:06,000
Most recently it removed term limit changes for independently elected county offices in response to input from the sheriff and the DA.

2349
03:23:06,000 --> 03:23:16,000
We also heard concerns about ballot question clarity and those concerns have been addressed, but the heart of the reforms remain strong.

2350
03:23:16,000 --> 03:23:26,000
We still do not have an independent ethics commission. This try to reform and establish that. We still do not have an independent budget analyst or an independent program auditor.

2351
03:23:26,000 --> 03:23:29,000
This measure gives voters the chance to change that.

2352
03:23:29,000 --> 03:23:40,000
This measure gives the public stronger tools to see how money is spent and whether programs are working and whether government is meeting the standards that people deserve.

2353
03:23:40,000 --> 03:23:49,000
And it does all this in a revenue neutral way because no new spending would be permitted and no reduction in county service would be allowed.

2354
03:23:49,000 --> 03:24:09,000
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 the San Diego county.

2355
03:24:09,000 --> 03:24:25,000
This has been a very broad tent process and I will tell you, has been incredibly interesting and difficult because these are groups who not only don't agree on every issue, often agree on no issues.

2356
03:24:25,000 --> 03:24:42,000
So to have found common ground on a package of reforms to make our government work better for everyone has been I think pretty extraordinary and I am very excited to give the voters the opportunity to make a decision for themselves.

2357
03:24:42,000 --> 03:24:54,000
Again, as has been said from the very beginning and as I've said many times, these are not questions that are up to us as members of the county board of supervisors.

2358
03:24:54,000 --> 03:24:58,000
These are questions that are up to the voters.

2359
03:24:58,000 --> 03:25:03,000
These are questions that can only and should only be decided by voters.

2360
03:25:03,000 --> 03:25:16,000
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.

2361
03:25:16,000 --> 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.

2362
03:25:31,000 --> 03:25:44,000
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.

2363
03:25:44,000 --> 03:25:46,000
So I'm happy to make that motion.

2364
03:25:46,000 --> 03:25:55,000
I would like to urge my colleagues to support and with that I can turn it over to supervisor Desmond.

2365
03:25:55,000 --> 03:25:59,000
So I will be second on the floor by share.

2366
03:25:59,000 --> 03:26:00,000
Thank you.

2367
03:26:00,000 --> 03:26:01,000
Madam Chair, appreciate it.

2368
03:26:01,000 --> 03:26:07,000
I've made my position on the proposed charter amendments of quite clear in our previous board hearings.

2369
03:26:07,000 --> 03:26:09,000
I'm not going to be supporting it today.

2370
03:26:09,000 --> 03:26:16,000
And I'd like to ask voters of San Diego County to reject this deceptive charter reform.

2371
03:26:16,000 --> 03:26:24,000
The voters I think are being deceived by using the attractive language such as a transparency accountability and independent oversight.

2372
03:26:24,000 --> 03:26:27,000
We should be doing those things already.

2373
03:26:27,000 --> 03:26:29,000
That's our job.

2374
03:26:29,000 --> 03:26:31,000
That's what you elected us for.

2375
03:26:31,000 --> 03:26:35,000
It's to be transparent, to be accountable and have independent oversight.

2376
03:26:35,000 --> 03:26:40,000
All of those things we can do without a charter amendment.

2377
03:26:40,000 --> 03:26:43,000
So this isn't about modernizing county government.

2378
03:26:43,000 --> 03:26:51,000
To me, it's a power grab by extending our own term limits and creating a political patronage system.

2379
03:26:51,000 --> 03:27:01,000
That's in 500.4 of the amended charter would require top level positions of the county to be approved by the board before they are hired.

2380
03:27:01,000 --> 03:27:06,000
That's getting our fingers in my opinion weighed down deep into the weeds.

2381
03:27:06,000 --> 03:27:16,000
And these are going to become political appointment as opposed to merit or merit base or appointments.

2382
03:27:16,000 --> 03:27:27,000
This proposal would make all leadership positions at the top of the county government political, meaning people only get the job if they have the right politics, not the right qualifications.

2383
03:27:27,000 --> 03:27:35,000
Section 501.9 of the amended charter, the non interference clause, that's us non interfering with the staff.

2384
03:27:35,000 --> 03:27:43,000
Historically, regulates how supervisors and staff interact with the county staff and bars us from giving county staff directives.

2385
03:27:43,000 --> 03:27:56,000
But if we have the yay or nay on hiring, or firing on hiring them, to me that's getting getting too deep into the staff section of the county.

2386
03:27:56,000 --> 03:28:01,000
There's an additional section that grants a board of supervisors in their staff.

2387
03:28:01,000 --> 03:28:08,000
The ability to weigh in on the hiring and firing of more than 600 manager positions at the county.

2388
03:28:08,000 --> 03:28:16,000
So the board should not, I think, under any circumstances, interfere with the hiring process of the county management up and down the organization.

2389
03:28:16,000 --> 03:28:18,000
That's what we hire the CAO for.

2390
03:28:18,000 --> 03:28:22,000
That's what the CAO works for us and then everybody else works for the CAO.

2391
03:28:22,000 --> 03:28:32,000
The CAO is not doing their job and we need to rethink that process but we shouldn't be hiring people into the other different levels of the county.

2392
03:28:32,000 --> 03:28:44,000
So, Section 606, 100 of the amended charter would extend supervisors' term limits from two years to two terms to three four year terms for total of 12 years.

2393
03:28:44,000 --> 03:28:52,000
There's already been pointed out supervisors that was passed by 68% of the vote of the two terms in 2010.

2394
03:28:52,000 --> 03:28:56,000
So San Diego County residents have already spoken.

2395
03:28:56,000 --> 03:29:01,000
The five of us here, we all ran with the understanding that we get two terms.

2396
03:29:01,000 --> 03:29:08,000
And now that we're in office in the office, we want to change the rules for ourselves and give ourselves an extra term.

2397
03:29:08,000 --> 03:29:12,000
I don't think that's right. If we do that, it do this third term.

2398
03:29:12,000 --> 03:29:15,000
It should only apply to new supervisors.

2399
03:29:15,000 --> 03:29:20,000
Section 702 creates an independent budget analyst and program auditor.

2400
03:29:20,000 --> 03:29:24,000
I don't know why this would have to go to a vote of the people. I can't we just do that.

2401
03:29:24,000 --> 03:29:28,000
That sounds great, but how truly independent are they?

2402
03:29:28,000 --> 03:29:34,000
We the board would hire and fire them. We'd decide their salaries and they would report directly to us.

2403
03:29:34,000 --> 03:29:39,000
They need reporting to the people. They need to be independent.

2404
03:29:39,000 --> 03:29:48,000
Same thing with ethics commission. The ethics commission would be pointed by the supervisors and our county council who I trust, but he works for this county board of supervisors.

2405
03:29:48,000 --> 03:29:52,000
So I question how independent these these offices would be.

2406
03:29:52,000 --> 03:29:57,000
So I can't support this. To me it's too self-service serving.

2407
03:29:57,000 --> 03:30:00,000
We're sugar coating this.

2408
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:06,000
And adding an extra term with the terms of accountability, transparency, and independent oversight.

2409
03:30:06,000 --> 03:30:08,000
We should already be doing those things.

2410
03:30:08,000 --> 03:30:13,000
And again, I would encourage Sandy Agons to reject this deceptive term.

2411
03:30:13,000 --> 03:30:15,000
Thanks.

2412
03:30:15,000 --> 03:30:18,000
Super, thank you.

2413
03:30:18,000 --> 03:30:22,000
I'm sure I really want to get to yes.

2414
03:30:22,000 --> 03:30:27,000
I'm not trying to poke at you all, but I really want to get to yes.

2415
03:30:27,000 --> 03:30:29,000
There's so many good things in this.

2416
03:30:29,000 --> 03:30:37,000
I'm going to offer a friendly amendment to the areas where I have difficulty.

2417
03:30:37,000 --> 03:30:44,000
We've never, this will be the first in the county to have retroactive termimmets.

2418
03:30:44,000 --> 03:30:47,000
It's never been done in the state.

2419
03:30:47,000 --> 03:30:54,000
It's always all termimmets have been moving forward with newly elected.

2420
03:30:54,000 --> 03:31:03,000
And I fear there's not your intention to have three more terms, but rather one, making it 12 for everybody.

2421
03:31:03,000 --> 03:31:06,000
And I get that, but it's never been tested in court.

2422
03:31:06,000 --> 03:31:12,000
And if it were tested, it would give us the potential of being here for 20 years.

2423
03:31:12,000 --> 03:31:20,000
I don't know of us, but for us long tooth folks, you and I would have 20 years.

2424
03:31:20,000 --> 03:31:31,000
So, my first amendment, or it's a group amendment, but the first portion, would be that the term limits would apply for the new terms,

2425
03:31:31,000 --> 03:31:34,000
not for anybody who's already in office.

2426
03:31:34,000 --> 03:31:41,000
The second thing is we're changing the language in much of this.

2427
03:31:41,000 --> 03:31:54,000
My colleague, Supervisor Desmond Hit, is we have a moat around purchasing right now, where we can't unduly influence them.

2428
03:31:54,000 --> 03:32:02,000
And we have all sorts of protections against single source contracts that we're working with the public's money.

2429
03:32:02,000 --> 03:32:05,000
We want to make sure that those protections are there.

2430
03:32:05,000 --> 03:32:14,000
I fear that by removing that moat, that we are running the risk of having undue influence on the decisions.

2431
03:32:14,000 --> 03:32:20,000
So, I'd prefer that that'd be taken out, that section 701, excuse me, 705.3.

2432
03:32:20,000 --> 03:32:30,000
So, we wouldn't be able to interact with the purchasing department or the contracting staff directly.

2433
03:32:30,000 --> 03:32:33,000
The way we have it currently.

2434
03:32:33,000 --> 03:32:46,000
The third thing is, I'd like to remove the proposed language empowering the board to confirm or remove county staff.

2435
03:32:46,000 --> 03:32:48,000
I think civil services is important.

2436
03:32:48,000 --> 03:32:56,000
And I think that the language that we're using could be reinterpreted by future boards to go much deeper.

2437
03:32:56,000 --> 03:33:02,000
And I don't think, you know, if I fill pot holes in my desk,

2438
03:33:02,000 --> 03:33:05,000
maybe I just want to be the best pot hole filler there is.

2439
03:33:05,000 --> 03:33:09,000
And my party registration shouldn't matter.

2440
03:33:09,000 --> 03:33:15,000
But when you have this kind of oversight, when you have political tensions, all of a sudden,

2441
03:33:15,000 --> 03:33:20,000
we're putting all sorts of pressure on civil service that shouldn't be there.

2442
03:33:20,000 --> 03:33:27,000
The running of government shouldn't be regulated by the electives.

2443
03:33:27,000 --> 03:33:40,000
So, I don't believe there's adequate protections that the next board doesn't say everybody's an ACAO and this.

2444
03:33:40,000 --> 03:33:43,000
And redefining the positions is arbitrary.

2445
03:33:43,000 --> 03:33:47,000
And that could easily be done with a three-volt majority.

2446
03:33:47,000 --> 03:33:49,000
So, I'd like to see that removed.

2447
03:33:49,000 --> 03:33:57,000
And then, of course, requiring the independent auditor be elected in accountable to a public.

2448
03:33:57,000 --> 03:34:00,000
I don't want this person to be a political appointee.

2449
03:34:00,000 --> 03:34:06,000
The way it's written, three members of this board could choose that political appointee.

2450
03:34:06,000 --> 03:34:12,000
And I'm not suggesting that this board's going to be nefarious.

2451
03:34:12,000 --> 03:34:20,000
But what happens if five Biden's get elected to follow us or five Trump's?

2452
03:34:20,000 --> 03:34:25,000
And I threw on both so everyone had somebody they may not like.

2453
03:34:25,000 --> 03:34:27,000
Are you going to be happy with these rules?

2454
03:34:27,000 --> 03:34:33,000
If they have that kind of power, you see, if I was an efarious person,

2455
03:34:33,000 --> 03:34:41,000
I could weaponize those audits in target political folks because they report directly to three members of the board.

2456
03:34:41,000 --> 03:34:48,000
They should report to five but if there's a three board, three member board, I mean majority.

2457
03:34:48,000 --> 03:34:54,000
I don't like the answer county council gives me.

2458
03:34:54,000 --> 03:34:57,000
So I'll direct them to audit them.

2459
03:34:57,000 --> 03:35:00,000
Or if I don't like what somebody else says.

2460
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:04,000
Maybe behavior health is and giving me the answers I like.

2461
03:35:04,000 --> 03:35:13,000
So I put them through an audit or maybe I go after the sheriff or anybody else.

2462
03:35:13,000 --> 03:35:21,000
And so I'm worried that we're giving an incredible power to the people that follow us in office.

2463
03:35:21,000 --> 03:35:23,000
And I'm not comfortable with that.

2464
03:35:23,000 --> 03:35:29,000
So I want to explain why I felt strongly about these areas.

2465
03:35:29,000 --> 03:35:32,000
The likelihood of you accepting it is slim.

2466
03:35:32,000 --> 03:35:35,000
However, I really want to get to yes.

2467
03:35:35,000 --> 03:35:37,000
There's a lot of other items.

2468
03:35:37,000 --> 03:35:38,000
The FX committee.

2469
03:35:38,000 --> 03:35:43,000
I was appalled when I got elected and found out that we report to no one.

2470
03:35:43,000 --> 03:35:44,000
And I thought how crazy is that?

2471
03:35:44,000 --> 03:35:46,000
Why don't we just go with the FPC?

2472
03:35:46,000 --> 03:35:50,000
Well, they have a two million population cap.

2473
03:35:50,000 --> 03:35:52,000
We're at three point three.

2474
03:35:52,000 --> 03:35:53,000
We don't qualify.

2475
03:35:53,000 --> 03:35:58,000
Even if we wanted to contract with the FPC, we can't get one.

2476
03:35:58,000 --> 03:35:59,000
Because we're too big.

2477
03:35:59,000 --> 03:36:02,000
So this solves that problem.

2478
03:36:02,000 --> 03:36:04,000
And that's a big problem.

2479
03:36:04,000 --> 03:36:09,000
But it puts us at risk down the road.

2480
03:36:09,000 --> 03:36:16,000
If the people that replace us aren't as good is where the board is now.

2481
03:36:16,000 --> 03:36:23,000
So that's why I'm asking for these amendments.

2482
03:36:23,000 --> 03:36:28,000
If you accept them, I will gladly vote for this and I'll cheer for it.

2483
03:36:28,000 --> 03:36:34,000
And while I can't campaign in my office for it, I certainly will make it known in my personal circles.

2484
03:36:34,000 --> 03:36:37,000
How much I could support this.

2485
03:36:37,000 --> 03:36:44,000
But short of those changes, I'm just too worried that we're solving a problem with a bigger problem.

2486
03:36:44,000 --> 03:36:51,000
Because while this board may be in the straight and narrow, we don't know who's going to follow us.

2487
03:36:52,000 --> 03:36:56,000
I'm asking for the amendment.

2488
03:36:56,000 --> 03:36:57,000
So I talked a long time.

2489
03:36:57,000 --> 03:37:00,000
We've may have lost what I was saying to start with.

2490
03:37:00,000 --> 03:37:01,000
I think it three.

2491
03:37:01,000 --> 03:37:04,000
We had one about term limits.

2492
03:37:04,000 --> 03:37:07,000
One about term limits.

2493
03:37:07,000 --> 03:37:08,000
One about term limits.

2494
03:37:08,000 --> 03:37:11,000
One about the appointments and confirmation process.

2495
03:37:11,000 --> 03:37:13,000
And one about the independent auditor.

2496
03:37:13,000 --> 03:37:15,000
Four total.

2497
03:37:15,000 --> 03:37:18,000
Four total in the package.

2498
03:37:18,000 --> 03:37:23,000
And I think that you all know this.

2499
03:37:23,000 --> 03:37:25,000
When I ask for an amendment, you give it to me.

2500
03:37:25,000 --> 03:37:26,000
I go for it.

2501
03:37:26,000 --> 03:37:28,000
So I wanted to package them together.

2502
03:37:28,000 --> 03:37:29,000
So give me one.

2503
03:37:29,000 --> 03:37:32,000
I wouldn't be misleading you into believing.

2504
03:37:32,000 --> 03:37:33,000
I'm going to vote for one.

2505
03:37:33,000 --> 03:37:35,000
It's a package of four.

2506
03:37:35,000 --> 03:37:37,000
But I wanted to make sure I was clear on that.

2507
03:37:37,000 --> 03:37:40,000
Yesterday you were on the line.

2508
03:37:40,000 --> 03:37:41,000
You mean I've heard.

2509
03:37:41,000 --> 03:37:43,000
But I had asked for an amendment.

2510
03:37:43,000 --> 03:37:44,000
It fell short.

2511
03:37:44,000 --> 03:37:47,000
And so I had to I want out of clarity.

2512
03:37:47,000 --> 03:37:50,000
I want to announce that I would not be voting for it.

2513
03:37:50,000 --> 03:37:52,000
Not because I was angry.

2514
03:37:52,000 --> 03:37:55,000
But because I didn't want to mislead anybody.

2515
03:37:55,000 --> 03:37:59,000
At that point when I announced I wasn't going to vote for it.

2516
03:37:59,000 --> 03:38:03,000
You may have wanted to reverse and not give a partial.

2517
03:38:03,000 --> 03:38:06,000
Because the partial wasn't going to earn my vote.

2518
03:38:06,000 --> 03:38:08,000
So that's where I am today.

2519
03:38:08,000 --> 03:38:12,000
I'd love for you to accept those items and I'd love to vote for this.

2520
03:38:12,000 --> 03:38:17,000
And I'd love to campaign for on my own time.

2521
03:38:17,000 --> 03:38:19,000
Not in county office.

2522
03:38:19,000 --> 03:38:21,000
I would love to campaign for this.

2523
03:38:21,000 --> 03:38:25,000
Because I do think the ethics committee is really important.

2524
03:38:25,000 --> 03:38:28,000
I think having the independent, truly independent,

2525
03:38:28,000 --> 03:38:30,000
Auditor is really important.

2526
03:38:30,000 --> 03:38:37,000
I think the ideas that you presented were excellent.

2527
03:38:37,000 --> 03:38:40,000
I just didn't think were there yet for solving the problem.

2528
03:38:40,000 --> 03:38:43,000
And I think this would bring in home.

2529
03:38:43,000 --> 03:38:45,000
So thank you.

2530
03:38:45,000 --> 03:38:46,000
Thank you very much.

2531
03:38:46,000 --> 03:38:49,000
You know, I don't want to speak for the second day of the motion.

2532
03:38:49,000 --> 03:38:52,000
I know for myself as a maker of the motion.

2533
03:38:52,000 --> 03:38:58,000
I would not feel comfortable at the sort of late stage taking such a significant amendment

2534
03:38:58,000 --> 03:39:03,000
after all the feedback from the community and the participatory process.

2535
03:39:03,000 --> 03:39:08,000
But I do really appreciate the spirit in which it was offered.

2536
03:39:08,000 --> 03:39:15,000
It was offered and I also would note that there's a huge amount of work that's going to need

2537
03:39:15,000 --> 03:39:19,000
to be done to implement all of this starter reform.

2538
03:39:19,000 --> 03:39:25,000
And that work is going to be the responsibility of the working group.

2539
03:39:25,000 --> 03:39:31,000
So I would respectfully ask you to just really consider that.

2540
03:39:31,000 --> 03:39:36,000
That this is provides a path to potentially implement these reforms,

2541
03:39:36,000 --> 03:39:39,000
but it doesn't mandate how they would be implemented.

2542
03:39:39,000 --> 03:39:45,000
And so there would still be quite a bit of space to implement suggestions along the lines that you've just outlined

2543
03:39:45,000 --> 03:39:49,000
in how the charter reform is implemented over the next two years.

2544
03:39:49,000 --> 03:39:56,000
So again, would love to invite you to join us and take the good with the good and acknowledge that,

2545
03:39:56,000 --> 03:40:00,000
you know, not necessarily want to throw the baby out with the bathwater,

2546
03:40:00,000 --> 03:40:03,000
but I also understand if that's not where you're at.

2547
03:40:03,000 --> 03:40:06,000
But this has definitely not been an easy journey.

2548
03:40:06,000 --> 03:40:09,000
There's been a lot of different opinions.

2549
03:40:09,000 --> 03:40:13,000
And nobody I think has gotten everything that they've wanted.

2550
03:40:13,000 --> 03:40:16,000
I think everyone's gotten a little bit of what they've wanted along the way.

2551
03:40:16,000 --> 03:40:20,000
And that's really been sort of my commitment and trying to put this together.

2552
03:40:20,000 --> 03:40:25,000
But again, I don't want to speak for my colleagues if people have a different view.

2553
03:40:25,000 --> 03:40:29,000
Very open.

2554
03:40:29,000 --> 03:40:34,000
I just I don't know if we had an extensive discussion last time.

2555
03:40:34,000 --> 03:40:37,000
So we hear everything you're saying.

2556
03:40:37,000 --> 03:40:43,000
I was just like to say on the record because I know in the event that anything is challenged.

2557
03:40:43,000 --> 03:40:46,000
The record also is important, including the vote.

2558
03:40:46,000 --> 03:40:50,000
So in the event that this passes today and in the event that it passes in November,

2559
03:40:50,000 --> 03:40:53,000
we don't know if it will.

2560
03:40:54,000 --> 03:41:02,000
My understanding of the of the term limits is that it's in a like no person can serve more than 12 years.

2561
03:41:02,000 --> 03:41:03,000
That's my understanding.

2562
03:41:03,000 --> 03:41:10,000
I just want to put that on the record so that if there is any are there any legal challenges that's my understanding.

2563
03:41:10,000 --> 03:41:13,000
It's now on the record.

2564
03:41:13,000 --> 03:41:18,000
I think in that vein it would probably be worth clarifying that that with County Council.

2565
03:41:18,000 --> 03:41:26,000
I see sure here just to make sure that that is clear both in terms of the language is drafted but also the intent.

2566
03:41:26,000 --> 03:41:29,000
I don't want there to be any confusion.

2567
03:41:29,000 --> 03:41:43,000
So damn it's here if you need a moment we can we can wait 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 as somehow resetting the clock.

2568
03:41:43,000 --> 03:41:51,000
And providing anyone three additional terms or whether it's fairly clear from from both comments on the dice and the written.

2569
03:41:51,000 --> 03:41:58,000
A content of the charter that it would it would only be one it would only be one additional term it would be three max.

2570
03:41:58,000 --> 03:42:09,000
Thank you chair lost remember the way that the language is written is to reflect that it would be a total of three terms 12 years.

2571
03:42:09,000 --> 03:42:16,000
So that if any supervisor is currently in the midst of one or two terms it would not be an additional three terms on top of that.

2572
03:42:16,000 --> 03:42:29,000
I can defer to my colleagues here if she has a specific language or other things she'd like to read to make that clear but that is the way that it has been drafted.

2573
03:42:29,000 --> 03:42:33,000
Well the attorneys could care one of your four concerns but go ahead.

2574
03:42:33,000 --> 03:42:48,000
If you want the additional language there's a provision in the proposed 401.5 that makes clear that a supervisor service and office prior to the effect of data the amendment counts toward the three term limit.

2575
03:42:48,000 --> 03:42:58,000
If I may is there any key it's law that supports this because it hasn't been tested in courgette.

2576
03:42:58,000 --> 03:43:14,000
I think the concern you are raising has to do with retroactivity and our research of the case law is that this 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.

2577
03:43:15,000 --> 03:43:20,000
I pull the entire state where the first to do this no one's ever done it.

2578
03:43:20,000 --> 03:43:27,000
The legal opinions I've received when I was in the state legislature were hurt then it will be struck down in court.

2579
03:43:27,000 --> 03:43:29,000
That's why nobody's done it.

2580
03:43:29,000 --> 03:43:38,000
There's not to say it can't be done but there but it's not been tested in court and good attorneys get struck down in court all the time.

2581
03:43:38,000 --> 03:43:41,000
Laws get struck down in court all the time.

2582
03:43:41,000 --> 03:43:51,000
So if it were to be struck down what would happen at that point would that not lead to three more terms.

2583
03:43:51,000 --> 03:43:58,000
I mean a total three additional terms if it were struck down in court.

2584
03:43:59,000 --> 03:44:00,000
Excuse me.

2585
03:44:00,000 --> 03:44:04,000
Supervisor Amsterdam you saying if the measure itself is this is.

2586
03:44:04,000 --> 03:44:09,000
This is permanent this element of the measure because I think there's a silverability clause right so.

2587
03:44:09,000 --> 03:44:12,000
I think I can try to answer with the current can correct me.

2588
03:44:12,000 --> 03:44:21,000
My understanding is it would revert to what we have currently it would be two terms because if it struck down in court it would be struck down and then you go back to what's already an existence.

2589
03:44:21,000 --> 03:44:26,000
It would be struck down in the union of with twenty terms it would be struck down in back to two terms.

2590
03:44:26,000 --> 03:44:29,000
I like because it is not twenty terms twenty.

2591
03:44:29,000 --> 03:44:31,000
You'd be applicable.

2592
03:44:31,000 --> 03:44:34,000
Twelve years moving forward.

2593
03:44:34,000 --> 03:44:37,000
So if it was sued and they said you can't.

2594
03:44:37,000 --> 03:44:43,000
No because it because the term the the language itself would be struck down and so you go back to what you.

2595
03:44:43,000 --> 03:44:50,000
We don't really know I hear your point but the several so we would go back to what is currently the law.

2596
03:44:50,000 --> 03:44:55,000
You wouldn't create new new we don't know that specifically though.

2597
03:44:55,000 --> 03:45:00,000
We think that's what's going to happen but there there is still a chance that.

2598
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:16,000
It's just never been tested in all the term limits throughout the count, you know, throughout the state. No one's ever done it before, because nobody wanted to run this risk. I get it, you know, it's moving forward, but it's not guaranteed.

2599
03:45:16,000 --> 03:45:29,000
Did anyone have any additional thank you for your clarification? Any additional questions or comments from anybody? Okay, we can call the vote.

2600
03:45:31,000 --> 03:45:39,000
Chair Lawson, remember that motion passes with supervisor Anderson and supervisor Desmond Voting. No, although the supervisor is being present in voting aye.

2601
03:45:39,000 --> 03:45:59,000
Okay, thank you all so much. Okay, so we will now move on to item 10. I'm sorry. Item 11. We already did 10. Certification, the certification of the initiative petition measure to fund Sandy Grafany Health and Safety Services.

2602
03:46:01,000 --> 03:46:08,000
Do we need to have any kind of presentation or anything else? Do you see, okay, great. Thank you.

2603
03:46:08,000 --> 03:46:16,000
Good afternoon. Chair Lawson, remember the board. No presentation, but I do have a brief statement to read into the record.

2604
03:46:16,000 --> 03:46:24,000
The registrar voters has certified the Citizens Initiative petition titled Measure to Fund Sandy Eagle County Health and Safety Services.

2605
03:46:24,000 --> 03:46:33,000
By law, the board must submit the measures voters without alteration. The measure is a 0.5% sales tax with revenues dedicated as follows.

2606
03:46:33,000 --> 03:46:46,000
22.5% of the revenue to the Tijuana River Valley sewage mitigation, 17.5% to public safety and wildfire prevention, and 60% to health care, child care and nutrition.

2607
03:46:46,000 --> 03:46:58,000
The measure requires a 12 member oversight committee independent audits and prohibits uses such as salaries and lobbyists. The measure requires a majority vote to pass.

2608
03:46:58,000 --> 03:47:15,000
There are two options in the recommendations. Option one, adopt the resolution to place it on the November 3, 2021 ballot today. Option two, order an impact report, do within 30 days and schedule a special meeting to adopt the election resolution.

2609
03:47:16,000 --> 03:47:24,000
Under elections code, section 1405, the resolution calling the election must be issued at least 88 days before election day.

2610
03:47:24,000 --> 03:47:36,000
That deadline is August 7th, 2021, which would require a special board meeting sometime between July 25 and August 7th, 2021, if option two is chosen.

2611
03:47:36,000 --> 03:47:44,000
In addition to these two options, the board has the discretion to direct the auditor to review the initiative measure and prepare a fiscal impact statement.

2612
03:47:44,000 --> 03:47:59,000
The other must provide the fiscal impact statement to the registrar voters by no later than August 14, which is printed in the voter information guide and limited to 500 words.

2613
03:47:59,000 --> 03:48:10,000
I also want to note for the record that under government code section 25207, the board retains the authority to order a report at any time independently of the elections code options before you today.

2614
03:48:10,000 --> 03:48:22,000
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.

2615
03:48:22,000 --> 03:48:25,000
Thank you, that concludes my summer at the side.

2616
03:48:25,000 --> 03:48:28,000
Okay, we'll go to public comment.

2617
03:48:28,000 --> 03:48:34,000
Thank you chair last the remer, we have 15 requests to speak on the side of 4 in person and 11 requesting to speak by phone.

2618
03:48:34,000 --> 03:48:38,000
Also, for the record that we received one e-comment in opposition.

2619
03:48:38,000 --> 03:48:45,000
For any individuals that requested speak on item 11 by phone, please dial in the conference line using the instructions that were provided to you.

2620
03:48:45,000 --> 03:48:47,000
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

2621
03:48:47,000 --> 03:48:51,000
As your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until register to speak at the podium.

2622
03:48:51,000 --> 03:48:53,000
You will have one minute to address the board.

2623
03:48:53,000 --> 03:49:02,000
We'll be calling a group of three, so like to invite for the first three individuals, allegedly Audra Marco Espinoza and Crystal Irving.

2624
03:49:04,000 --> 03:49:07,000
Again, please stay tuned for the Audra record.

2625
03:49:07,000 --> 03:49:11,000
I need to call a point of order for what is taking place.

2626
03:49:11,000 --> 03:49:19,000
You were just talking about transparency and accountability and I would like to put you on notice to change your board policy to follow the law.

2627
03:49:19,000 --> 03:49:26,000
And, Dean, this is something that you should be addressing because it is a violation of not only our first amendment but the Brown Act.

2628
03:49:26,000 --> 03:49:31,000
That's under two constitutions, which supersedes your board policy.

2629
03:49:31,000 --> 03:49:37,000
And, under the supremacy clause, under the due process, it's the law of the land to have the first amendment.

2630
03:49:37,000 --> 03:49:47,000
So if I want to say, put the, if I want to say, cracker, whatever it is, even if it's criticizing a person, that is legal to do.

2631
03:49:47,000 --> 03:49:59,000
So you're setting yourself up for litigation because you are violating the law by saying that you're following your board policy by restricting my speech.

2632
03:49:59,000 --> 03:50:01,000
You've continued to do it.

2633
03:50:01,000 --> 03:50:08,000
So I would like an answer from Damon regarding this because this is a violation of law and you know it.

2634
03:50:08,000 --> 03:50:13,000
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

2635
03:50:13,000 --> 03:50:15,000
Quick speaker, please.

2636
03:50:15,000 --> 03:50:16,000
All right.

2637
03:50:16,000 --> 03:50:20,000
Crystal Irving, president of FBIU, local 221, speaking in favor of this item.

2638
03:50:20,000 --> 03:50:24,000
We were proud to join a coalition that brought this initiative to Sandy Agans.

2639
03:50:24,000 --> 03:50:30,000
And over 150,000 Sandy Agans added their signatures to the effort to successfully qualify for the ballot.

2640
03:50:30,000 --> 03:50:40,000
The citizen's led initiative will address that he want to river toxic sewage crisis with the first ever local infrastructure upgrades.

2641
03:50:40,000 --> 03:50:49,000
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,

2642
03:50:49,000 --> 03:50:54,000
and strengthen wildfire response for every community in San Diego County.

2643
03:50:54,000 --> 03:51:03,000
This measure also includes independent oversight, public disclosure, and strict prohibitions on any funds going to elected official salaries or lobbyist contracts.

2644
03:51:03,000 --> 03:51:08,000
Now, we recognize that today's vote is merely procedural, but I want to highlight that I think it's appropriate.

2645
03:51:08,000 --> 03:51:16,000
It's being discussed on the same day as budget deliberations when we see the impacts of HR1 and the Trump administration, and we know it's going to get worse.

2646
03:51:16,000 --> 03:51:19,000
So again, for this vote, thank you.

2647
03:51:19,000 --> 03:51:27,000
I'd like to invite for the remaining speakers in person, Michelle Krug and Oliver Twist.

2648
03:51:27,000 --> 03:51:29,000
Marcos, Nosa.

2649
03:51:29,000 --> 03:51:32,000
I mean, yes, on this one.

2650
03:51:32,000 --> 03:51:34,000
Thank you. I'll go back.

2651
03:51:38,000 --> 03:51:43,000
I'd like to speak to your please.

2652
03:51:44,000 --> 03:51:56,000
Good afternoon again. I did actually mean to precede my remarks before by welcoming back terror loss and congratulations and welcome back.

2653
03:51:56,000 --> 03:52:04,000
I am very glad that we collected enough signatures to get this on the ballot.

2654
03:52:04,000 --> 03:52:07,000
This money is direly needed.

2655
03:52:07,000 --> 03:52:12,000
You, on the diet, know that better than us.

2656
03:52:12,000 --> 03:52:19,000
This money will really make a difference or changes that I'd love to see with county medical services.

2657
03:52:19,000 --> 03:52:26,000
Obviously, the T.O. on a river basin is a major impact in our community.

2658
03:52:26,000 --> 03:52:33,000
So I'm very glad to see that we, you know, this is ready to be authorized.

2659
03:52:33,000 --> 03:52:38,000
I hope that you will just accept it. Thank you.

2660
03:52:38,000 --> 03:52:44,000
Thank you. Next speaker.

2661
03:52:44,000 --> 03:52:47,000
Hi. Good afternoon, Oliver Twist.

2662
03:52:47,000 --> 03:52:49,000
I'm adamantly opposed to this.

2663
03:52:49,000 --> 03:52:54,000
And I don't think we should have any new taxes in San Diego, either in the city or the county.

2664
03:52:54,000 --> 03:52:56,000
You're fiscally irresponsible.

2665
03:52:57,000 --> 03:53:06,000
You're growing government to big 33% growth in five years and a 12 to 13% in county staff.

2666
03:53:06,000 --> 03:53:08,000
And it's just too much.

2667
03:53:08,000 --> 03:53:11,000
And we don't need more taxes because look what happened in Valville Park.

2668
03:53:11,000 --> 03:53:15,000
They, when they like socialism, you end up running out of other people's money.

2669
03:53:15,000 --> 03:53:17,000
And then you start charging for parking.

2670
03:53:17,000 --> 03:53:21,000
Bixie infrastructure and the things that you're supposed to be working on.

2671
03:53:21,000 --> 03:53:24,000
And what I would really appreciate is a lot more fiscal pragmatism.

2672
03:53:24,000 --> 03:53:26,000
People don't understand they hear progress.

2673
03:53:26,000 --> 03:53:28,000
All the ideas sound so good.

2674
03:53:28,000 --> 03:53:29,000
So feel good.

2675
03:53:29,000 --> 03:53:32,000
But what you're really there is to grow government.

2676
03:53:32,000 --> 03:53:33,000
Grow your county staff.

2677
03:53:33,000 --> 03:53:35,000
Grow your union membership.

2678
03:53:35,000 --> 03:53:39,000
So compete in the cycle of political donations.

2679
03:53:39,000 --> 03:53:41,000
So rule pragmatically.

2680
03:53:41,000 --> 03:53:44,000
Focus on the Mao's low hierarchy.

2681
03:53:44,000 --> 03:53:46,000
And fix what needs fixing first.

2682
03:53:46,000 --> 03:53:47,000
Thank you.

2683
03:53:47,000 --> 03:53:48,000
Thank you.

2684
03:53:48,000 --> 03:53:51,000
Well, here from the individuals that requested to speak by phone.

2685
03:53:51,000 --> 03:53:58,000
It was over their first call there.

2686
03:53:58,000 --> 03:54:01,000
Here comes a pollabold.

2687
03:54:01,000 --> 03:54:03,000
Here comes another tax.

2688
03:54:03,000 --> 03:54:07,000
But the tax is how many projects and items.

2689
03:54:07,000 --> 03:54:09,000
This is what's the fund.

2690
03:54:09,000 --> 03:54:13,000
There's a new committee for pretty much everything for you.

2691
03:54:13,000 --> 03:54:15,000
Fans of new BRR.

2692
03:54:16,000 --> 03:54:19,000
Of course it has something for everyone.

2693
03:54:19,000 --> 03:54:23,000
But what tiny percent of your sales tax will go to.

2694
03:54:23,000 --> 03:54:25,000
You're favored.

2695
03:54:25,000 --> 03:54:30,000
So you're a half percent additional tax on transactions.

2696
03:54:30,000 --> 03:54:33,000
Excluding property or fuel.

2697
03:54:33,000 --> 03:54:38,000
It's supposed to fund eight main items and many smaller projects.

2698
03:54:38,000 --> 03:54:39,000
Quite always.

2699
03:54:39,000 --> 03:54:42,000
How many will we project get?

2700
03:54:43,000 --> 03:54:46,000
Two hundred percent or less.

2701
03:54:46,000 --> 03:54:49,000
The taxes will be put into the protect.

2702
03:54:49,000 --> 03:54:52,000
San Diego, campus, health and safety fund.

2703
03:54:52,000 --> 03:54:57,000
You'll be as the solely funded central canvetericism.

2704
03:54:57,000 --> 03:54:59,000
It's a new proof.

2705
03:54:59,000 --> 03:55:01,000
The quality of lives.

2706
03:55:01,000 --> 03:55:04,000
The county was a bunch of.

2707
03:55:04,000 --> 03:55:05,000
Yeah.

2708
03:55:05,000 --> 03:55:06,000
The next caller.

2709
03:55:07,000 --> 03:55:12,000
Okay.

2710
03:55:12,000 --> 03:55:14,000
I'm slow here and.

2711
03:55:14,000 --> 03:55:20,000
All the slaves in favor of bigger government say I.

2712
03:55:20,000 --> 03:55:21,000
Come on.

2713
03:55:21,000 --> 03:55:23,000
Call it what it is.

2714
03:55:23,000 --> 03:55:24,000
This item is so.

2715
03:55:24,000 --> 03:55:27,000
It's to further keep the people under the rules.

2716
03:55:27,000 --> 03:55:33,000
Some of big government to further keep them under the illusion that government is taking care of everything.

2717
03:55:33,000 --> 03:55:38,000
Take care of them when it's all about more taxes and more control.

2718
03:55:38,000 --> 03:55:43,000
This item will pass with the majority being the three queen.

2719
03:55:43,000 --> 03:55:47,000
Curves and tacos.

2720
03:55:47,000 --> 03:55:49,000
And yeah.

2721
03:55:49,000 --> 03:55:50,000
It's just.

2722
03:55:50,000 --> 03:55:52,000
We're unbelievable shit.

2723
03:55:52,000 --> 03:55:56,000
I'm from this dyes.

2724
03:55:56,000 --> 03:56:00,000
Done.

2725
03:56:00,000 --> 03:56:01,000
Thank you.

2726
03:56:01,000 --> 03:56:15,000
I hope you're here from the next caller.

2727
03:56:15,000 --> 03:56:19,000
Next caller is Terry Scully.

2728
03:56:19,000 --> 03:56:23,000
I'm hoping can speak on item 13, not 11.

2729
03:56:23,000 --> 03:56:25,000
Back to you for that item.

2730
03:56:25,000 --> 03:56:26,000
Thank you.

2731
03:56:26,000 --> 03:56:38,000
Good afternoon.

2732
03:56:38,000 --> 03:56:41,000
My name is Becky Rapp and.

2733
03:56:41,000 --> 03:56:44,000
I recognize that.

2734
03:56:44,000 --> 03:56:49,000
The voters have demonstrated sufficient support for this measure to bring it forward.

2735
03:56:49,000 --> 03:56:55,000
And at this stage, the county's responsibility is to ensure transparency and clarity about what the measure does.

2736
03:56:55,000 --> 03:56:58,000
And how it would be implemented.

2737
03:56:58,000 --> 03:57:05,000
I strongly encourage the board to ensure the fiscal impact statement.

2738
03:57:05,000 --> 03:57:07,000
And related materials.

2739
03:57:07,000 --> 03:57:09,000
And that they clearly.

2740
03:57:09,000 --> 03:57:16,000
Explain not only what services may be funded, but what gas still remain is funding is sufficient.

2741
03:57:16,000 --> 03:57:21,000
I'm concerned that this health and safety services must include.

2742
03:57:21,000 --> 03:57:33,000
Some upstream investment in youth prevention, especially youth drug prevention type of marijuana use as well as early intervention for mental health conditions associated with substance use.

2743
03:57:33,000 --> 03:57:41,000
We're seeing increasing pressure on emergency department schools and child welfare systems and prevention is consistently.

2744
03:57:41,000 --> 03:57:50,000
You have the next caller.

2745
03:57:50,000 --> 03:57:52,000
I'm sure it's a certain a woman.

2746
03:57:52,000 --> 03:57:54,000
Money not cut.

2747
03:57:54,000 --> 03:57:56,000
But it's not.

2748
03:57:56,000 --> 03:58:00,000
But it's my free expression and it's still matters legally.

2749
03:58:00,000 --> 03:58:03,000
There's no other item in doors for union such as F.I.U.

2750
03:58:03,000 --> 03:58:05,000
Signed by Crystal Irving.

2751
03:58:05,000 --> 03:58:09,000
Who have funded the benefitors of this tax such as Manuel of Loma.

2752
03:58:09,000 --> 03:58:12,000
Who wants America to pay for Mexico sewage forever.

2753
03:58:12,000 --> 03:58:13,000
Grifter.

2754
03:58:13,000 --> 03:58:16,000
Cal fires on a grid because they want to cut further salary.

2755
03:58:16,000 --> 03:58:17,000
Selfish.

2756
03:58:17,000 --> 03:58:20,000
The county claims the petition contains a sufficient number of valid signatures.

2757
03:58:20,000 --> 03:58:21,000
But we know that's not true.

2758
03:58:21,000 --> 03:58:27,000
We've seen the viral video that a homeless drug addict being paid in dollar bills, cigarettes, and drugs to sign these and other petitions.

2759
03:58:27,000 --> 03:58:29,000
Nobody actually wants more taxes.

2760
03:58:29,000 --> 03:58:30,000
Nobody's voting for this fraud.

2761
03:58:30,000 --> 03:58:33,000
I just mentioned this petition going around about two months ago.

2762
03:58:33,000 --> 03:58:37,000
You want people to believe they got millions of signatures in that short time frame.

2763
03:58:37,000 --> 03:58:40,000
When people ask them if they were getting paid to collect signatures.

2764
03:58:40,000 --> 03:58:42,000
And they admitted, yes, they were.

2765
03:58:42,000 --> 03:58:46,000
This is 100% stony, which man is many specializes in.

2766
03:58:46,000 --> 03:58:49,000
And it's 100% fraud, which terror specializes in them.

2767
03:58:49,000 --> 03:58:51,000
Shame on you corrupt.

2768
03:58:51,000 --> 03:58:54,000
You hear from a son of color.

2769
03:58:54,000 --> 03:58:56,000
Can.

2770
03:58:56,000 --> 03:58:58,000
Well, here we go with another line.

2771
03:58:58,000 --> 03:59:07,000
I always know it is when the purple shirts turn up to speak begging for it.

2772
03:59:07,000 --> 03:59:09,000
They're flowering words.

2773
03:59:09,000 --> 03:59:12,000
We must have a page fee trader.

2774
03:59:12,000 --> 03:59:14,000
Anyway, no new tax.

2775
03:59:14,000 --> 03:59:15,000
This is a scam.

2776
03:59:15,000 --> 03:59:18,000
It's interesting that on item 10 that was passed.

2777
03:59:18,000 --> 03:59:22,000
That terror said that the implementation plan was not ready yet.

2778
03:59:22,000 --> 03:59:24,000
That it will be left up to the working team.

2779
03:59:24,000 --> 03:59:29,000
So how do we know this new tax will be implemented according to what is written here.

2780
03:59:29,000 --> 03:59:33,000
Anything for health and safety services?

2781
03:59:33,000 --> 03:59:35,000
Why aren't to look up fire?

2782
03:59:35,000 --> 03:59:38,000
They're not being used because they're in poor state.

2783
03:59:38,000 --> 03:59:41,000
Why, why were they not already maintained?

2784
03:59:41,000 --> 03:59:42,000
So this is a scam.

2785
03:59:42,000 --> 03:59:45,000
This is to get money to put into a pet peeve pet project.

2786
03:59:45,000 --> 03:59:47,000
Not to do anything for the county.

2787
03:59:47,000 --> 03:59:49,000
But.

2788
04:00:00,000 --> 04:00:07,000
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?

2789
04:00:07,000 --> 04:00:12,000
Thank you. I'm a chair-loss-and-remor that concludes public comment on this item.

2790
04:00:12,000 --> 04:00:18,000
Okay, thank you very much. I have a couple comments. Do any of my colleagues have anything to say?

2791
04:00:18,000 --> 04:00:22,000
I'll say can just make a motion. Happy to do that.

2792
04:00:22,000 --> 04:00:28,000
Seeing no requests for my colleagues to speak, I'll just make a couple remarks on this.

2793
04:00:28,000 --> 04:00:38,000
I just first of all want to express my gratitude to the leadership of so many folks who put this together.

2794
04:00:38,000 --> 04:00:43,000
So thank you for your work. It's a lot of signatures together.

2795
04:00:43,000 --> 04:00:53,000
It's a lot of work. And there's a lot of people who obviously really want to see this measure considered by the voters in November.

2796
04:00:53,000 --> 04:01:02,000
You know, that's just a lot of people to sign this ballot measure. So I hear that.

2797
04:01:02,000 --> 04:01:14,000
And I think that to me, this is real evidence that people in San Diego are deeply, deeply concerned about the Tijuana sewage disaster

2798
04:01:14,000 --> 04:01:21,000
about the devastating cuts to health care and food assistance that are community facing.

2799
04:01:21,000 --> 04:01:36,000
And that people remain very committed to making sure that our 911 emergency response can be the best and can keep us safe in even the worst conditions

2800
04:01:36,000 --> 04:01:41,000
and even if the worst and most unthinkable happens to our communities.

2801
04:01:41,000 --> 04:01:54,000
And we began this conversation, I think, you know, over a year and a half ago, when, in my state of the county, I mentioned my deep concerns about what was coming out.

2802
04:01:54,000 --> 04:01:59,000
So what was coming towards our community in a new Trump administration.

2803
04:01:59,000 --> 04:02:05,000
And I think this San Diego County Health and Safety Services initiative rises to meet that moment.

2804
04:02:05,000 --> 04:02:24,000
It offers voters a powerful tool that people can choose to support, to protect our community, to defend our community, to keep our water clean, to keep our hospitals open, and to make sure firefighters and first responders have the tools that they need to keep us safe.

2805
04:02:24,000 --> 04:02:43,000
Our job today is extremely straightforward. This is the Citizens Qualified Initiative and the voters must decide on this bound measure that has been placed, or is being proposed to be placed on the ballot by the signatures of hundreds of thousands of voters.

2806
04:02:43,000 --> 04:02:55,000
So our role is not to adopt this measure ourselves. We really only can and must, from an administrative standpoint, Joan Cracken from Wrong, just put this on the ballot.

2807
04:02:55,000 --> 04:03:11,000
I think my only concern is to ensure that the language is clear and accurate and sufficient. We do want to ensure that voters have clear information so that they can make an informed decision.

2808
04:03:11,000 --> 04:03:19,000
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.

2809
04:03:19,000 --> 04:03:23,000
Because the information will be placed directly on the ballot.

2810
04:03:23,000 --> 04:03:33,000
So with that, I would like to make the following motion, and I think, Andrew, you have the strength to change this.

2811
04:03:33,000 --> 04:03:52,000
That is to approve recommendation number one and then to approve recommendation number two option number one, with the following clarifying amendment to the ballot question in the attachment de-resolution to ensure as much transparency as possible

2812
04:03:52,000 --> 04:04:05,000
for the voters to have clear and accurate information. So this is a funny one, but I was reading this in a lot of folks where not quite sure exactly what the word mitigate meant.

2813
04:04:05,000 --> 04:04:20,000
It seemed like a hundred dollar word and we could probably have used a Tencent word. So if we could just replace the word mitigate with clean up so that people actually know what is being written here and they're not confused.

2814
04:04:20,000 --> 04:04:30,000
Similarly, another, maybe this is a thousand dollar word instead of a Tencent word, I don't need to know that we need to confuse people with the term retail transaction and use tax.

2815
04:04:30,000 --> 04:04:36,000
Like, I don't know what that is exactly. Just I think we can call it what it is, which is a sales tax.

2816
04:04:36,000 --> 04:04:44,000
And then seems very important to add that manual amount to be raised until ended by voters.

2817
04:04:44,000 --> 04:04:55,000
My understanding that that was an oversight in the drafting of this ballot question by county council because it's legally required to include that.

2818
04:04:55,000 --> 04:05:03,000
And so that, and I know that it's estimated raised 400 to 450,000. So 400 to 450 million.

2819
04:05:03,000 --> 04:05:12,000
So that needs to be in there for transparency purposes and then take no action on recommendation three.

2820
04:05:12,000 --> 04:05:21,000
So that's my motion and yeah, hope to have support for my colleagues. Thank you.

2821
04:05:22,000 --> 04:05:32,000
Thank you. I'm sure I appreciate it. I just something now's a right time to put a half cents sales tax in front of the people.

2822
04:05:32,000 --> 04:05:36,000
It's, you know, the cost of everything is already way too high.

2823
04:05:36,000 --> 04:05:41,000
We're always surprised and you go to the grocery store or you go, you know, by clothes or cars.

2824
04:05:41,000 --> 04:05:45,000
Everything's just gone up and up and up.

2825
04:05:45,000 --> 04:05:51,000
Tax is my understanding. There's no end to it. It's a forever tax. There's going to be no end to this.

2826
04:05:51,000 --> 04:05:55,000
I agree with something, you know, the tea you want to river definitely needs to be dealt with.

2827
04:05:55,000 --> 04:05:58,000
But I do think we got to be putting the pressure on Mexico.

2828
04:05:58,000 --> 04:06:06,000
We can not just throw more and more US money after after that catastrophe that's happening down there.

2829
04:06:06,000 --> 04:06:12,000
We got to get them to stop and make sure they keep their end of the bargain up and creating the infrastructure that they need on their side.

2830
04:06:12,000 --> 04:06:17,000
I think we have to put pressure on them as opposed to just putting more money after this.

2831
04:06:17,000 --> 04:06:24,000
I could support this if we went with item number one and two with option two, not option one.

2832
04:06:24,000 --> 04:06:31,000
You know, we're talking about impact, we're talking about, you know, responsibility transparency.

2833
04:06:31,000 --> 04:06:39,000
I think if we had an impact report, which is option two, to then come back within 30 days after we see an impact report,

2834
04:06:39,000 --> 04:06:44,000
because I think that would be helpful to the citizens before they vote on it.

2835
04:06:44,000 --> 04:06:48,000
I realized today we're just putting it yes or no on the ballot.

2836
04:06:48,000 --> 04:06:53,000
I'm not going to be supporting this tax, but I would like to have the impact report.

2837
04:06:53,000 --> 04:07:04,000
So I'd like to see if you'd be open to choosing option two out of recommendation number two, then I could support it.

2838
04:07:05,000 --> 04:07:13,000
Did you, um, in your proposal on option two, I suppose, doesn't, it says this option requires the board to schedule special meeting,

2839
04:07:13,000 --> 04:07:16,000
sometime between July 25th and August 7th.

2840
04:07:16,000 --> 04:07:18,000
What day did you want to have that meeting?

2841
04:07:18,000 --> 04:07:22,000
I don't, um, late July.

2842
04:07:22,000 --> 04:07:25,000
I birthed this July 27th.

2843
04:07:25,000 --> 04:07:28,000
You want to be four after?

2844
04:07:28,000 --> 04:07:34,000
Well, I can tell you July 27th is a Monday, so I don't think you're going to want to be meeting on the Saturday.

2845
04:07:34,000 --> 04:07:39,000
I could, I could do, um, I don't care.

2846
04:07:39,000 --> 04:07:40,000
Okay.

2847
04:07:40,000 --> 04:07:41,000
Well, we think about it.

2848
04:07:41,000 --> 04:07:42,000
Okay.

2849
04:07:42,000 --> 04:07:43,000
It's obviously tossed out there.

2850
04:07:43,000 --> 04:07:44,000
Okay.

2851
04:07:44,000 --> 04:07:45,000
I support option one.

2852
04:07:45,000 --> 04:07:50,000
It doesn't change my, my, my, I support option one, but just wanted to make sure that if you're supporting option two,

2853
04:07:50,000 --> 04:07:56,000
that it's a full proposal that folks can think about because it would have to, we have to calendar that.

2854
04:07:57,000 --> 04:08:00,000
Thank you.

2855
04:08:00,000 --> 04:08:09,000
Um, I just want to say that regardless where people stand on the substance of this proposal, this is the democratic process.

2856
04:08:09,000 --> 04:08:14,000
And this has been an initiative that's put been put forward by the citizens.

2857
04:08:14,000 --> 04:08:19,000
Our registrar of voters has certified that the petition qualifies.

2858
04:08:19,000 --> 04:08:25,000
I think the fact that so many people signed on to this petition knowing full what it is is a reflection of the sentiment,

2859
04:08:25,000 --> 04:08:26,000
of our region.

2860
04:08:26,000 --> 04:08:30,000
And I think, especially, I just want to speak obviously to the Tijuana River.

2861
04:08:30,000 --> 04:08:36,000
I think that all of us, whether you live literally in the affected area and, and our suffering,

2862
04:08:36,000 --> 04:08:47,000
the harms of this pollution every single day in your daily life through being sick or losing work or losing school.

2863
04:08:47,000 --> 04:08:52,000
The reality is that the fixes aren't happening fast enough.

2864
04:08:52,000 --> 04:08:55,000
Mexico is not doing enough.

2865
04:08:55,000 --> 04:08:58,000
Trump is not doing enough, Biden didn't do enough.

2866
04:08:58,000 --> 04:08:59,000
And that's just the reality.

2867
04:08:59,000 --> 04:09:01,000
Nobody's done enough, and that's why we're here.

2868
04:09:01,000 --> 04:09:14,000
And I see it as a way of the people of San Diego County taking the bull by their horns and bringing a real source of revenue that could truly bring relief.

2869
04:09:14,000 --> 04:09:18,000
We've made our efforts, and I'm thankful to the board for the efforts that we're making,

2870
04:09:18,000 --> 04:09:22,000
but that's like I said many times, it's not going to solve the issue.

2871
04:09:22,000 --> 04:09:27,000
Something of this caliber, something of this size can.

2872
04:09:27,000 --> 04:09:38,000
And that's the most important thing, because if we wait for fixes alone to come from Mexico, we're going to be here 20 years, 30 years from now.

2873
04:09:38,000 --> 04:09:42,000
And there's going to be people who have died from cancer, there's going to be people who have died from pneumonia,

2874
04:09:42,000 --> 04:09:49,000
there's going to be people who have died from other ailments that all of this contamination has a capacity to cause.

2875
04:09:49,000 --> 04:09:57,000
So we don't keep our foot off the pedal, we continue to pressure Mexico, we continue to pressure this administration,

2876
04:09:57,000 --> 04:09:59,000
we continue to pressure the state as well.

2877
04:09:59,000 --> 04:10:09,000
There's been a lot of work that's gone on that my team and myself have done advocating for money to come from the state as well in the last six months.

2878
04:10:09,000 --> 04:10:19,000
But the reality is it's not enough, the people have spoken, this is a high priority for them, and we should just let the process move forward.

2879
04:10:19,000 --> 04:10:22,000
Thank you.

2880
04:10:22,000 --> 04:10:24,000
Vice Chairman, can we stop?

2881
04:10:24,000 --> 04:10:31,000
Yes, just briefly, I want to thank the ROV for the work that goes in to certifying the initiative petition.

2882
04:10:31,000 --> 04:10:32,000
Thank you for that.

2883
04:10:32,000 --> 04:10:39,000
And congratulations to the coalition for securing enough signatures to make this ballot measure a reality.

2884
04:10:39,000 --> 04:10:45,000
The issues that this measure addresses are critically important for providing quality of life we all deserve.

2885
04:10:45,000 --> 04:10:48,000
We just been discussing that for the entire day.

2886
04:10:48,000 --> 04:10:55,000
So they are important, that doesn't mean that we know the fate of the measure in November.

2887
04:10:56,000 --> 04:11:07,000
But I will continue to work with my colleagues and community partners to protect healthcare and prove childcare public safety, address it to you on a river sewage crisis.

2888
04:11:07,000 --> 04:11:19,000
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 and how the vote will be reflected there.

2889
04:11:19,000 --> 04:11:24,000
So thank you again, everyone, and I think this is more so procedural matter for us.

2890
04:11:24,000 --> 04:11:29,000
So with that, I'll go ahead and second, option one.

2891
04:11:29,000 --> 04:11:32,000
Okay, we have a motion on four and a second.

2892
04:11:32,000 --> 04:11:34,000
Please vote.

2893
04:11:34,000 --> 04:11:43,000
Again, Sheryl Austin, I just want to know for the record that we added in the word annually as you noted in your remarks into the ballot question.

2894
04:11:43,000 --> 04:11:45,000
I like that on the screen.

2895
04:11:46,000 --> 04:11:51,000
Okay, and before we do, it's clarifying that we really have to put this on the ballot.

2896
04:11:51,000 --> 04:11:56,000
So it's just a problem, a question of how, but not whether we do it or not.

2897
04:11:56,000 --> 04:11:59,000
So, so make sure that's clear for the record.

2898
04:11:59,000 --> 04:12:00,000
Thank you.

2899
04:12:00,000 --> 04:12:05,000
And Sheryl Austin, remember that motion passes with supervisor Anderson, it's supervisor Desmond voting.

2900
04:12:05,000 --> 04:12:08,000
No, all of the supervisors being present 10, 49.

2901
04:12:08,000 --> 04:12:11,000
Okay, thank you very much.

2902
04:12:12,000 --> 04:12:15,000
So we will now move on to our next item.

2903
04:12:15,000 --> 04:12:21,000
And this is an item that has been brought forward by district four.

2904
04:12:21,000 --> 04:12:22,000
It's item 12.

2905
04:12:22,000 --> 04:12:27,000
Authorizing partner food distribution pilots at strategic kind of facilities and hiding areas.

2906
04:12:27,000 --> 04:12:30,000
To mitigate California's work of requirement displacements.

2907
04:12:30,000 --> 04:12:35,000
I sure do, would you like to make some introductory remarks?

2908
04:12:35,000 --> 04:12:36,000
I will.

2909
04:12:36,000 --> 04:12:37,000
Okay.

2910
04:12:37,000 --> 04:12:38,000
Yes, thank you so much for the opportunity.

2911
04:12:38,000 --> 04:12:46,000
Thank you to county staff in our community partners for your important work on the few food distribution component of the safety net bridge program.

2912
04:12:46,000 --> 04:12:50,000
Access to good nutritional food is a key determinative health.

2913
04:12:50,000 --> 04:13:01,000
Food is medicine tragically and estimated 93,500 members of our community are at risk of losing access to that medicine, which is food.

2914
04:13:01,000 --> 04:13:08,000
And to a happier healthier life due to the new Calfresh work reporting requirements imposed by HR1.

2915
04:13:08,000 --> 04:13:14,000
This federally mandated change is anticipated to increase food insecurity in every county district.

2916
04:13:14,000 --> 04:13:25,000
The proposed action before the board today is designed to address that anticipated food insecurity by targeting the 16 zip codes where families are expected to be hit the hardest.

2917
04:13:25,000 --> 04:13:36,000
We would be utilizing existing county facilities and partnering with the San Diego Food Bank and feeding San Diego for emergency food distribution event to support hunger relief efforts.

2918
04:13:36,000 --> 04:13:45,000
It also supports onsite benefit enrollment and supplemental resources provided by dedicated county staff as a part of the safety net bridge program.

2919
04:13:45,000 --> 04:13:54,000
We know these wraparound services are crucial to assisting families looking for long-term food security and stabilization resources.

2920
04:13:54,000 --> 04:14:13,000
During a time of significant change. This is also funding for there's also funding for potential home delivery services and for distribution through other trusted community providers so that the county can stay nimble in addressing any service gaps that may be identified after program rollout.

2921
04:14:13,000 --> 04:14:21,000
We built in program flexibility so that we can best meet the needs of our residents as those needs evolve.

2922
04:14:21,000 --> 04:14:28,000
Staff will monitor and review reporting on an ongoing basis ensuring optimal utilization of county resources.

2923
04:14:28,000 --> 04:14:38,000
Supporting this proposed action will help prevent families in our communities from having to make tough decisions like food versus housing and food versus health care.

2924
04:14:38,000 --> 04:14:43,000
It's both a moral and just action to support our neighbors in their time of need.

2925
04:14:43,000 --> 04:14:53,000
So I hope my colleagues will support this item today and I can make the motion now that's fine but I can also wait until after public comment.

2926
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:05,000
I thank you very much. Would you like to first go to public comment or have board discussion?

2927
04:15:05,000 --> 04:15:10,000
Because we have people on the board who want to talk, but we can just go to public comment and do board discussion.

2928
04:15:10,000 --> 04:15:11,000
Yeah, that would be okay.

2929
04:15:11,000 --> 04:15:12,000
Okay.

2930
04:15:12,000 --> 04:15:17,000
Well, apologies, Supervisor Anderson. We'll go to public comment and then we'll go to you.

2931
04:15:17,000 --> 04:15:18,000
Okay.

2932
04:15:18,000 --> 04:15:21,000
Thank you, Chair Lawson. We have 30 requests to speak on this item.

2933
04:15:21,000 --> 04:15:24,000
13 in person and 17 in requesting to speak by phone.

2934
04:15:24,000 --> 04:15:29,000
Also, no for the record that we receive three e-commence, one and support in one neutral.

2935
04:15:29,000 --> 04:15:36,000
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 12 by phone, please dial in to the conference on using the instructions that were provided to you.

2936
04:15:36,000 --> 04:15:38,000
We'll begin with the in-person speakers.

2937
04:15:38,000 --> 04:15:43,000
As your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak at the podium.

2938
04:15:43,000 --> 04:15:49,000
You will have one minute to address the board and I'll ask you to begin by stating your name for the audio record.

2939
04:15:49,000 --> 04:15:54,000
I will call you in groups of three, so please listen for your name.

2940
04:15:54,000 --> 04:16:00,000
I'd like to invite for the first three individuals, Sam Duke, Noah Yee-Yek and Karina Pew.

2941
04:16:00,000 --> 04:16:03,000
If I have caught your name, please come forward.

2942
04:16:12,000 --> 04:16:23,000
Good afternoon, my name is Sam Duke. I'm a director of programs at feeding San Diego representing families who are having to choose between groceries and gas between rent and food for their families.

2943
04:16:23,000 --> 04:16:28,000
Rising costs have pushed working families to the breaking point they've never faced before.

2944
04:16:28,000 --> 04:16:38,000
Last month that our school pantry at duly elementary, serving primary and military families, a mother of three told me that the food she's receiving means her family has dinner for that evening.

2945
04:16:38,000 --> 04:16:44,000
Earlier this month, new snap cuts may force even more San Diego families into food insecurity.

2946
04:16:44,000 --> 04:16:50,000
You're funding approval today would do more than just feed hungry families, though that alone is transformational.

2947
04:16:50,000 --> 04:16:59,000
These dollars would allow us to strategically strengthen and expand our distribution network that helps increase food rescue and provide more nutritious food year-round.

2948
04:16:59,000 --> 04:17:02,000
Right now, food assistance is increasing every single day.

2949
04:17:02,000 --> 04:17:06,000
Last month, we served over half a million San Diego's across the county.

2950
04:17:06,000 --> 04:17:15,000
The families we serve can't vote on this today, but they are counting on your leadership on behalf of feeding San Diego and the thousands of families we see.

2951
04:17:15,000 --> 04:17:23,000
Good afternoon, Supervisors.

2952
04:17:23,000 --> 04:17:26,000
My name is Noah Yek, I'm a researcher with the Center on Policy Initiatives.

2953
04:17:26,000 --> 04:17:28,000
There are times of charm today.

2954
04:17:28,000 --> 04:17:35,000
We urge you to vote yes on item 12 and advance the food access component of the safety net bridge program.

2955
04:17:35,000 --> 04:17:37,000
Nutrition security is a human right.

2956
04:17:37,000 --> 04:17:42,000
Addiquit nutrition helps people stay healthy, care for their families and live with dignity.

2957
04:17:42,000 --> 04:17:49,000
Right now, thousands of San Diego's are losing access to nutrition assistance or at risk of losing it because of federal cuts.

2958
04:17:49,000 --> 04:17:53,000
We cannot allow cruel decisions in Washington to harm San Diego's.

2959
04:17:53,000 --> 04:18:02,000
The food distribution pilot before you provide a strategic targeted response and includes measures to monitor outcomes and ensure support is meeting our communities needs.

2960
04:18:02,000 --> 04:18:05,000
The state unit bridge program is how we put our values into action.

2961
04:18:05,000 --> 04:18:11,000
It says that in San Diego County no one should go hungry, no one should go without care and we take care of each other.

2962
04:18:12,000 --> 04:18:15,000
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

2963
04:18:15,000 --> 04:18:17,000
Thank you for three additional speakers.

2964
04:18:17,000 --> 04:18:20,000
Allegedly, Aura, Doyle Morrison and Alicia Morrison.

2965
04:18:20,000 --> 04:18:22,000
Good afternoon, Supervisors.

2966
04:18:22,000 --> 04:18:25,000
It's Korean appeal again. My pronouns are she her.

2967
04:18:25,000 --> 04:18:31,000
I'm here today on behalf of the San Diego LGBT Community Center asking you all to vote in support of this item.

2968
04:18:31,000 --> 04:18:37,000
As we continue to see the painful impacts of HR1 and the significant cuts to programs that keep our communities.

2969
04:18:37,000 --> 04:18:41,000
That house and otherwise supported in an increasingly difficult economy.

2970
04:18:41,000 --> 04:18:46,000
We are seeing LGBTQ folks disproportionately experiencing the impacts of these cuts.

2971
04:18:46,000 --> 04:18:53,000
At our center, our food banks and other programs supporting food assistance are experiencing higher volumes of traffic than we've seen ever before.

2972
04:18:53,000 --> 04:18:59,000
This item is the county's opportunity to be a bold leader investing county dollars to mitigate the harms from these cuts.

2973
04:18:59,000 --> 04:19:04,000
Please vote in support of this item to keep San Diego's fed and thank you to Vice Chair Montgomery.

2974
04:19:04,000 --> 04:19:09,000
Thank you.

2975
04:19:09,000 --> 04:19:12,000
Thank you.

2976
04:19:12,000 --> 04:19:13,000
Hello, Doyle Morrison.

2977
04:19:13,000 --> 04:19:19,000
I'm in favor of this food distribution, but consideration for eligibility based on zip codes is problematic.

2978
04:19:19,000 --> 04:19:28,000
In the San Diego County, many unincorporated communities rely on zip codes assigned by two nearby incorporated cities.

2979
04:19:28,000 --> 04:19:33,000
Meaning their mail says the city name, but they are governed and taxed by the county rather than the city.

2980
04:19:33,000 --> 04:19:41,000
Notable unincorporated areas with city affiliated zip codes are beneath a cost of the or a ranch or San Diego for a vx Ranch LaPresse and Lincoln acres.

2981
04:19:41,000 --> 04:19:49,000
These communities zip codes are not listed in this agenda item material as high impact zip code served.

2982
04:19:49,000 --> 04:19:54,000
The unincorporated communities are governed and taxed by the county rather than the city.

2983
04:19:54,000 --> 04:19:58,000
Please do not exclude some of the most vulnerable communities from the benefits they are in need of.

2984
04:19:58,000 --> 04:20:01,000
Thank you.

2985
04:20:01,000 --> 04:20:07,000
Next speaker.

2986
04:20:07,000 --> 04:20:10,000
Good afternoon, Alicia Morrison.

2987
04:20:10,000 --> 04:20:14,000
I support this, but there's a problem.

2988
04:20:14,000 --> 04:20:22,000
The problem is disparity to the community of Lincoln acres since the deprecation of the Lincoln acres post office in 2011.

2989
04:20:22,000 --> 04:20:27,000
Lincoln acres has to share a zip code 91950 with a city in national city.

2990
04:20:27,000 --> 04:20:30,000
Lincoln acres is not national city.

2991
04:20:30,000 --> 04:20:37,000
Lincoln acres has it had its own zip code 91947 that was established in 1925.

2992
04:20:37,000 --> 04:20:46,000
In your placement of this just strategic facilities, I'm requesting Lincoln acres community room in Lincoln acres be placed on your list of facilities.

2993
04:20:46,000 --> 04:20:50,000
So those in 91950 can benefit.

2994
04:20:50,000 --> 04:20:56,000
Do not deprive Lincoln acres from county programs acknowledge 91950 for this program.

2995
04:20:56,000 --> 04:20:59,000
Thank you.

2996
04:21:00,000 --> 04:21:01,000
Thank you.

2997
04:21:01,000 --> 04:21:03,000
As the next speaker is coming forward.

2998
04:21:03,000 --> 04:21:05,000
I'll invite three additional speakers.

2999
04:21:05,000 --> 04:21:11,000
Marco Espinoza Andrea called well and Edward Nietto.

3000
04:21:11,000 --> 04:21:18,000
Hopefully nobody lights a match because the gasoline you being dousing the people in will go up in flames.

3001
04:21:18,000 --> 04:21:21,000
It's interesting you talk about clear and accurate information.

3002
04:21:21,000 --> 04:21:25,000
And then Monica you're saying that food is medicine.

3003
04:21:25,000 --> 04:21:27,000
Does your bending machine reflect that?

3004
04:21:27,000 --> 04:21:31,000
No, it does not, but it's cool because it's all about making money, right?

3005
04:21:31,000 --> 04:21:37,000
And it's just interesting the way you like to pull the heart strings of people and act like, you know, this is promises.

3006
04:21:37,000 --> 04:21:43,000
I don't want you guys were engaged and giving benefits to people who came across the border illegally.

3007
04:21:43,000 --> 04:21:54,000
You know what you're doing by eating a bedding and now the people are suffering the consequences because it actually made it harder for people that need it to get it because of your choices.

3008
04:21:54,000 --> 04:22:00,000
So you say hearing you talk about transparency and accountability and giving clear and accurate information.

3009
04:22:00,000 --> 04:22:02,000
Let's be real with the people.

3010
04:22:02,000 --> 04:22:07,000
And let's be real that you cannot silence free speech.

3011
04:22:07,000 --> 04:22:11,000
No matter what you think, no matter what policy you put in place.

3012
04:22:11,000 --> 04:22:16,000
Next speaker plays.

3013
04:22:16,000 --> 04:22:19,000
Marco Espinoza, I'm in favor.

3014
04:22:19,000 --> 04:22:22,000
I do know a little bit about this.

3015
04:22:22,000 --> 04:22:25,000
I watch KPBS.

3016
04:22:25,000 --> 04:22:29,000
And they recently had the American on it.

3017
04:22:29,000 --> 04:22:38,000
I'm mentioning how HR1's new limitations had started effective one this month, the first of this month.

3018
04:22:38,000 --> 04:22:40,000
And they've already seen it up to.

3019
04:22:41,000 --> 04:22:46,000
HR1 will we will as the months go on we'll see more of the effects.

3020
04:22:46,000 --> 04:22:51,000
So while the need has has grown now.

3021
04:22:51,000 --> 04:22:53,000
Well, I'm sure there's better way to say that.

3022
04:22:53,000 --> 04:23:03,000
But anyways, I think this is the great measure to help those who are in need and getting the negative impacts of HR1.

3023
04:23:03,000 --> 04:23:05,000
So thank you for this measure.

3024
04:23:05,000 --> 04:23:07,000
Thank you.

3025
04:23:07,000 --> 04:23:09,000
Next speaker, please.

3026
04:23:09,000 --> 04:23:10,000
Good afternoon.

3027
04:23:10,000 --> 04:23:14,000
Andrea called well with the Jacobs and Christmas San Diego food ping, which is the region's leading

3028
04:23:14,000 --> 04:23:16,000
hunger relief organization.

3029
04:23:16,000 --> 04:23:19,000
We serve every community here in San Diego County.

3030
04:23:19,000 --> 04:23:25,000
Each month we help on average 400,000 San Diego and across access nutritious food.

3031
04:23:25,000 --> 04:23:29,000
So we are already seeing the impacts of these federal policy changes.

3032
04:23:29,000 --> 04:23:34,000
In May 83% of our emergency food assistance partners requested more food than the

3033
04:23:34,000 --> 04:23:36,000
month before.

3034
04:23:36,000 --> 04:23:40,000
So they were getting an average of 27% more food in just 30 days.

3035
04:23:40,000 --> 04:23:45,000
And our client choice pantry is also serving more people than any other point in this year.

3036
04:23:45,000 --> 04:23:50,000
The county's safety net bridge program will help ensure food remains available to residents,

3037
04:23:50,000 --> 04:23:56,000
especially in communities where data indicates there is an expected need to grow.

3038
04:23:56,000 --> 04:24:01,000
And the food bank has a long standing commitment to using data to direct resources where they are

3039
04:24:01,000 --> 04:24:07,000
in need and most and we commit to using 100% of these funds if approved to purchase food.

3040
04:24:07,000 --> 04:24:10,000
We strongly support this and thank you.

3041
04:24:10,000 --> 04:24:11,000
Thank you.

3042
04:24:11,000 --> 04:24:12,000
The next speaker is coming forward.

3043
04:24:12,000 --> 04:24:14,000
I'd like to invite the remaining speakers in person.

3044
04:24:14,000 --> 04:24:16,000
Alejandro Martinez.

3045
04:24:16,000 --> 04:24:17,000
Omar Ausefie.

3046
04:24:17,000 --> 04:24:18,000
Michelle Krug.

3047
04:24:18,000 --> 04:24:20,000
And Cynthia Fuller.

3048
04:24:20,000 --> 04:24:21,000
Can you?

3049
04:24:21,000 --> 04:24:22,000
Yes.

3050
04:24:22,000 --> 04:24:23,000
Good afternoon.

3051
04:24:23,000 --> 04:24:24,000
My name is Ed Nietto.

3052
04:24:24,000 --> 04:24:28,000
I'm appreciative of the county services work proposal in this area.

3053
04:24:28,000 --> 04:24:30,000
But I do have a question.

3054
04:24:30,000 --> 04:24:40,000
I want to ask, as the others have mentioned here, why wasn't the 9195 zip code included in the significant

3055
04:24:40,000 --> 04:24:45,000
local and compopulation names that you have there.

3056
04:24:45,000 --> 04:24:51,000
So when I hear the areas that are hit the hardest, not to include national city and there seems to be

3057
04:24:51,000 --> 04:24:52,000
little remiss.

3058
04:24:52,000 --> 04:24:54,000
I'm asking a question.

3059
04:24:54,000 --> 04:24:58,000
If there's a methodology on how you determine this, we'd like to hear it.

3060
04:24:58,000 --> 04:25:02,000
It would bring comfort to the community to see how this was decided.

3061
04:25:02,000 --> 04:25:10,000
And, you know, specifically what data was used to exclude the national city from the 16 highest

3062
04:25:10,000 --> 04:25:13,000
impact zone zip codes.

3063
04:25:13,000 --> 04:25:17,000
It's just imported for the citizens to know that we're competing.

3064
04:25:17,000 --> 04:25:19,000
We'd like to know what the explanation is.

3065
04:25:19,000 --> 04:25:22,000
Thank you.

3066
04:25:22,000 --> 04:25:27,000
Next speaker, please.

3067
04:25:27,000 --> 04:25:28,000
That's called your name.

3068
04:25:28,000 --> 04:25:30,000
Please come down to the arrows.

3069
04:25:30,000 --> 04:25:32,000
Thank you.

3070
04:25:32,000 --> 04:25:33,000
Good afternoon.

3071
04:25:33,000 --> 04:25:35,000
My area used to be with Pana.

3072
04:25:35,000 --> 04:25:40,000
The safety net bridge program is an essential program to provide access to meals and health care

3073
04:25:40,000 --> 04:25:43,000
to those who no longer receive these basic services.

3074
04:25:43,000 --> 04:25:47,000
Thanks to Trump's attack on the poor working class and on immigrants.

3075
04:25:47,000 --> 04:25:52,000
As a community level, we have hundreds of people coming to us already telling us that their

3076
04:25:52,000 --> 04:25:57,000
Calfresh has been stopped or it's going to stop and they don't know how to feed their families.

3077
04:25:57,000 --> 04:26:01,000
No child should go hungry in San Diego.

3078
04:26:01,000 --> 04:26:10,000
And, you know, Pana, we host a food bank every week and we see hundreds of families coming there and more programs are really

3079
04:26:10,000 --> 04:26:11,000
needed.

3080
04:26:11,000 --> 04:26:16,000
These food distribution events will allow the county to respond to immediate needs and build on

3081
04:26:16,000 --> 04:26:23,000
an action plan to assist those most in need while simultaneously creating long-term stabilisation

3082
04:26:23,000 --> 04:26:24,000
resources.

3083
04:26:24,000 --> 04:26:26,000
So we are due to, but yes.

3084
04:26:26,000 --> 04:26:28,000
Thank you.

3085
04:26:28,000 --> 04:26:29,000
Thank you.

3086
04:26:29,000 --> 04:26:32,000
Next speaker, please.

3087
04:26:32,000 --> 04:26:33,000
Hi.

3088
04:26:33,000 --> 04:26:35,000
Good afternoon, Board of Surveysers.

3089
04:26:35,000 --> 04:26:38,000
I'm fully, my name's Alejandro, I'm with Mitsity Can.

3090
04:26:38,000 --> 04:26:45,000
I'm fully in support of item 12 food insecurity and vulnerable communities must be mitigated and item 12 does just that.

3091
04:26:45,000 --> 04:26:52,000
However, I am deeply disturbed by the hate-filled comments about my district supervisor that apparently has been used several times

3092
04:26:52,000 --> 04:26:56,000
that's stated by the person who used this filing, harmful and misogynist language.

3093
04:26:56,000 --> 04:27:04,000
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 and women in the community.

3094
04:27:04,000 --> 04:27:11,000
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

3095
04:27:11,000 --> 04:27:13,000
would protect your personhood.

3096
04:27:13,000 --> 04:27:14,000
This isn't about politics.

3097
04:27:14,000 --> 04:27:19,000
This is about what's right and where our morality lies as professionals and colleagues in this work.

3098
04:27:19,000 --> 04:27:24,000
We are here to work together and uplift one another, not to collaborate, not to tolerate divisive and violent behavior.

3099
04:27:24,000 --> 04:27:31,000
That is not 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.

3100
04:27:31,000 --> 04:27:34,000
Anyone can and should access this document.

3101
04:27:34,000 --> 04:27:35,000
Thank you.

3102
04:27:35,000 --> 04:27:47,000
Next speaker please.

3103
04:27:47,000 --> 04:28:00,000
Michelle Krueg again, I am very much appreciative of this pilot project and the fact that there is that the focus on equity.

3104
04:28:00,000 --> 04:28:06,000
I do have heard a couple of concerns.

3105
04:28:06,000 --> 04:28:15,000
One of them, I am surprised that National City, Jim Code would not have been one of the 16.

3106
04:28:15,000 --> 04:28:29,000
And the other thing is that I have been hearing and I don't know enough about it that South Bay doesn't have enough of the larger refrigerations that are allowed that are capable of.

3107
04:28:29,000 --> 04:28:32,000
Accepting pallets of food.

3108
04:28:32,000 --> 04:28:46,000
So that there just might be an issue of somehow being able to make sure that each part of the county has that capability and South Bay in particular.

3109
04:28:46,000 --> 04:28:51,000
If it doesn't have that, that maybe there's grants or things that we can follow up on.

3110
04:28:51,000 --> 04:28:54,000
Thank you.

3111
04:28:55,000 --> 04:29:00,000
Good afternoon, supervisors.

3112
04:29:00,000 --> 04:29:01,000
I'm Cynthia Kenyona.

3113
04:29:01,000 --> 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.

3114
04:29:10,000 --> 04:29:18,000
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.

3115
04:29:18,000 --> 04:29:22,000
This is an error or perhaps there's a separate plan for national city.

3116
04:29:22,000 --> 04:29:27,000
However, without confirmation of either of us speak against the plans written.

3117
04:29:27,000 --> 04:29:28,000
There are two key points.

3118
04:29:28,000 --> 04:29:33,000
One, the county of San Diego cannot afford to exclude 91950.

3119
04:29:33,000 --> 04:29:36,000
And it's planned safety and average actions.

3120
04:29:36,000 --> 04:29:42,000
We're one of the most food and secure areas of the county.

3121
04:29:42,000 --> 04:29:51,000
It's supported by the most recent reporting from the South region leadership team meeting prepared by county staff.

3122
04:29:51,000 --> 04:29:59,000
Secondly, national city warrants direct investment in its food responders and their long critical need for a shared cold storage.

3123
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:02,000
It's been missing. Thank you.

3124
04:30:02,000 --> 04:30:10,000
Well, now, here from the individuals that requested to speak my phone. We'll start with our first caller.

3125
04:30:30,000 --> 04:30:36,000
A thousand fund events and pay for food staff and facility costs.

3126
04:30:36,000 --> 04:30:41,000
Here's me. Hopefully there will be donations.

3127
04:30:41,000 --> 04:30:51,000
Because I approve of this proof of using the unlocked reserves for a pilot program, which may or may not work out.

3128
04:30:51,000 --> 04:30:55,000
We're sure it should be for what we know will work.

3129
04:30:55,000 --> 04:31:11,000
Also, in the care for on head 5, the program would serve different number of zip codes, presumably different number of people at the same cost, which is hiring unlikely.

3130
04:31:11,000 --> 04:31:17,000
But another idea would be to hold base of the community garden or farmware.

3131
04:31:17,000 --> 04:31:20,000
Thank you. Thank you for the next caller.

3132
04:31:21,000 --> 04:31:36,000
Next caller is Consuelo. Your device might be muted.

3133
04:31:36,000 --> 04:31:48,000
And Consuelo left the session. We'll go to the next caller.

3134
04:31:48,000 --> 04:32:00,000
Good afternoon. Board of supervisors and ripples here. I have some concerns about this as a retired social worker.

3135
04:32:00,000 --> 04:32:11,000
The first paragraph of the board letter indicates that 93,500 individuals may face a sudden reduction.

3136
04:32:11,000 --> 04:32:17,000
That means there's still plenty of opportunities. And their individuals are not families. We're not talking about children.

3137
04:32:17,000 --> 04:32:34,000
We're talking about those who are adults who, for whatever reason, haven't registered or can't register a won't register, but seem to be able to work or to volunteer or to take a class.

3138
04:32:34,000 --> 04:32:41,000
So I'm not really sure why we're beholding to 92,000 people who can't or won't do that.

3139
04:32:41,000 --> 04:32:49,000
I think we are anticipating something that we don't know has happened and we don't know will happen.

3140
04:32:49,000 --> 04:32:52,000
Very fantastic. It's great.

3141
04:32:53,000 --> 04:33:02,000
Well, here from the next caller.

3142
04:33:02,000 --> 04:33:05,000
It's truth, Tara the million dollar words are eradicate, grift and fraud.

3143
04:33:05,000 --> 04:33:12,000
Because we got one million dollars on food fraud going on as an excuse to fund Jacob's Christian crypters with three figure salaries.

3144
04:33:12,000 --> 04:33:22,000
The county claims 93,500 individuals may face reduction or elimination of Calfresh Rations, aka government control medicine, like Calfresh taxpayer funded candy bars,

3145
04:33:22,000 --> 04:33:25,000
which proves how much fraud is going on with say welfare.

3146
04:33:25,000 --> 04:33:34,000
The county claims 314,000 individuals will have to actually work, which proves that there's plenty of able-bodied adults who are lazy and refuse to get a job to take care of themselves.

3147
04:33:34,000 --> 04:33:41,000
Racists, ethics, and manuala included. So I counter that the county needs to invest in an independent auditor now.

3148
04:33:41,000 --> 04:33:45,000
Has there ever been verification that all of the medical recipients are actually a live or cared for?

3149
04:33:45,000 --> 04:33:48,000
Because Rolando Maria concludes and Tara's districts have to know.

3150
04:33:48,000 --> 04:33:52,000
Isn't funding by zip code a form of unconstitutional discrimination?

3151
04:33:52,000 --> 04:34:02,000
If the county's claim of 407,500 fraudsters was true that it's time for intervention, don't be a leering center, especially when Americans are obese at record rates.

3152
04:34:03,000 --> 04:34:09,000
Thank you, here from the next caller.

3153
04:34:14,000 --> 04:34:17,000
Good afternoon. My name is Erin Brennan Burke.

3154
04:34:17,000 --> 04:34:22,000
On behalf of Family Health Centers of San Diego, speaking in strong support of item number 12,

3155
04:34:22,000 --> 04:34:29,000
our team fee every day in our clinics, how reliable access to nutritious food is fundamental to health.

3156
04:34:30,000 --> 04:34:37,000
Federal changes under HR1 are already making it harder for patients to enroll in and maintain child fresh benefits.

3157
04:34:37,000 --> 04:34:43,000
Even when they are eligible, increasing food insecurity in already vulnerable communities.

3158
04:34:43,000 --> 04:34:48,000
We appreciate the Board's proactive efforts to respond before these impacts wereson.

3159
04:34:48,000 --> 04:35:00,000
How many collaboration with trusted partners like the food bank and feeding San Diego will help meet the scale of demand and ensure residents in need do not go hungry, especially in highly impacted neighborhoods.

3160
04:35:00,000 --> 04:35:03,000
Thank you.

3161
04:35:03,000 --> 04:35:12,000
Thank you, here from the next caller.

3162
04:35:12,000 --> 04:35:18,000
How funny there's a word mitigated again, and care of things the constituency is ignorant.

3163
04:35:18,000 --> 04:35:24,000
Mitigate does not mean enhanced, just read the whole thing, you don't need an explanation or a change of the wording.

3164
04:35:24,000 --> 04:35:33,000
I've attended these meeting times five years and the problems are the same and unchanged homelessness due to drugs and mental health issues, hunger marginalized community.

3165
04:35:33,000 --> 04:35:45,000
And over the Biden admin millions of illegal immigrants who are not new Americans being granted special privilege and never ending freebie,

3166
04:35:45,000 --> 04:35:54,000
draining the county's resources, helping to put us in this problem, regardless of what the Trump administration has done.

3167
04:35:54,000 --> 04:35:58,000
This Board policies have failed.

3168
04:35:58,000 --> 04:36:03,000
Loading the dollar's wages as evidenced by the same activist in NGOs and curcultures.

3169
04:36:03,000 --> 04:36:07,000
They give for money year after year almost meeting after meeting.

3170
04:36:07,000 --> 04:36:12,000
Work hours are volunteer hours must be mandatory for the able body single without dependence.

3171
04:36:12,000 --> 04:36:18,000
This will help lift these individuals and allow them to exit the stranglehold.

3172
04:36:18,000 --> 04:36:26,000
And the next caller.

3173
04:36:26,000 --> 04:36:28,000
Hi, Natalie Rushty here.

3174
04:36:28,000 --> 04:36:31,000
I stand with a community budget alliance and Leah.

3175
04:36:31,000 --> 04:36:36,000
I think it's important that we see people who need to eat regardless of how we got here.

3176
04:36:36,000 --> 04:36:41,000
We still are community that needs to work together and people need to eat.

3177
04:36:41,000 --> 04:36:45,000
The stress with a no good day center closing.

3178
04:36:45,000 --> 04:36:49,000
And these cuts and HR want all of it is getting to the people.

3179
04:36:49,000 --> 04:36:54,000
And if you can't eat, it's literally the care rates you mind.

3180
04:36:54,000 --> 04:36:59,000
We have to support each other in this rough spot no matter how we got here.

3181
04:36:59,000 --> 04:37:01,000
Thank you.

3182
04:37:01,000 --> 04:37:02,000
Thank you.

3183
04:37:02,000 --> 04:37:10,000
We'll hear from the next caller.

3184
04:37:11,000 --> 04:37:15,000
My name is Laura Wilkinson since in the community activist and leadership.

3185
04:37:15,000 --> 04:37:20,000
So it's not or first I want to thank all of the supervisors for those on items 10 and especially 11.

3186
04:37:20,000 --> 04:37:23,000
The initiative that we've been begging for here in the South Bank.

3187
04:37:23,000 --> 04:37:24,000
Item 12.

3188
04:37:24,000 --> 04:37:28,000
This pilot facing it is critical for the least amongst us.

3189
04:37:28,000 --> 04:37:34,000
I know many active duty military families who get their month and food from food banks.

3190
04:37:34,000 --> 04:37:44,000
So many will fall through the cracks in the testing calfresh and your actions here will save lives and the future of children by providing food and adequate nutrition.

3191
04:37:44,000 --> 04:37:51,000
I want to thank you for your leadership and improving item 12 assuring that we use our taxpayer funds for the public good.

3192
04:37:51,000 --> 04:37:54,000
We don't want San Diego going hungry for whatever reason.

3193
04:37:54,000 --> 04:37:56,000
Thank you.

3194
04:37:56,000 --> 04:37:57,000
Thank you.

3195
04:37:57,000 --> 04:37:58,000
Have a nice call.

3196
04:38:05,000 --> 04:38:08,000
Good afternoon.

3197
04:38:08,000 --> 04:38:09,000
My name is again.

3198
04:38:09,000 --> 04:38:13,000
I live in district four and work with the San Diego refugee communities coalition.

3199
04:38:13,000 --> 04:38:16,000
I'm calling to boys are strong support for agenda item 12.

3200
04:38:16,000 --> 04:38:22,000
We strongly support the recommendation to partner with trusted community based works especially to carry this work forward.

3201
04:38:22,000 --> 04:38:24,000
We know that for refugee immigrant communities.

3202
04:38:24,000 --> 04:38:30,000
These partners are really essential for sharing information primary languages and culturally responsive ways.

3203
04:38:30,000 --> 04:38:33,000
So that families can really understand and access what they need.

3204
04:38:33,000 --> 04:38:39,000
So we urge the county to keep community at the center of implementation to ensure resources reach those most impacted.

3205
04:38:39,000 --> 04:38:43,000
Thank you so much for your leadership and consideration.

3206
04:38:43,000 --> 04:38:44,000
Thank you.

3207
04:38:44,000 --> 04:38:46,000
I'll hear from the next caller.

3208
04:38:52,000 --> 04:38:53,000
Good afternoon.

3209
04:38:53,000 --> 04:38:54,000
My name is Raymond.

3210
04:38:54,000 --> 04:38:57,000
I work with the San Diego refugee communities coalition.

3211
04:38:57,000 --> 04:39:02,000
I'm calling today to voice my support for this item, especially because it really highlights the

3212
04:39:02,000 --> 04:39:11,000
disproportionate harm these federal policy changes will have on the refugee and immigrant communities that are organizations each work with.

3213
04:39:11,000 --> 04:39:18,000
Many of our community members will lose access to essential services that will have an overall effect on their health and quality of life.

3214
04:39:18,000 --> 04:39:27,000
We know that our refugee and immigrant communities will be hit the hardest by these changes and we wanted to advocate for taking a community led approach to help community members.

3215
04:39:27,000 --> 04:39:33,000
Navigate these new requirements and help make sure that we can mitigate the loss of access to couch benefits.

3216
04:39:33,000 --> 04:39:41,000
And that can really effectively be done through community partnerships that will allow us to reach community members in their primary languages and meet them where we're at.

3217
04:39:41,000 --> 04:39:52,000
So that's why we strongly support this item and especially recommendation of partnering with trusted community providers to ensure that our communities are supported.

3218
04:39:52,000 --> 04:39:54,000
Thank you very much.

3219
04:39:55,000 --> 04:39:56,000
Good afternoon.

3220
04:39:56,000 --> 04:40:09,000
This is Rita Delafonte calling on behalf of the San Diego hunger coalition.

3221
04:40:09,000 --> 04:40:22,000
The support item 12, which HR with HR ones calfresh changes taking effect quickly moving food and onsite benefits to some of our hard hit neighborhoods as a step in the right direction.

3222
04:40:22,000 --> 04:40:25,000
And we thank Vice Chair Montgomery step for her leadership.

3223
04:40:25,000 --> 04:40:38,000
As the county builds the living map this action calls for targeting can be sharpened with more data on the eligible but not enrolled population, including both the number of potential and rollies and the participation rate.

3224
04:40:38,000 --> 04:40:47,000
That perspective keeps smaller high rate communities a priority where they might have been overlooked by population based metrics.

3225
04:40:47,000 --> 04:41:05,000
Services where immigrant mixed data and rural households might be missed by in-person events as more residents lose eligibility under HR one ensuring everyone who remains eligible is successfully enrolled is more critical than ever.

3226
04:41:05,000 --> 04:41:10,000
This is the one time bridge and we encourage the county.

3227
04:41:10,000 --> 04:41:20,000
I'll hear from a final caller.

3228
04:41:20,000 --> 04:41:25,000
I'll go and follow here and thank you for coming back to me, Andrew.

3229
04:41:25,000 --> 04:41:29,000
Let's see. Give them a fish and they'll eat for the day.

3230
04:41:29,000 --> 04:41:33,000
Teach them to fish and they'll never go hungry.

3231
04:41:33,000 --> 04:41:40,000
This is just another typical big government item, slave mentality item really.

3232
04:41:40,000 --> 04:41:45,000
It keeps the people under the illusion that they need government to take care of them.

3233
04:41:45,000 --> 04:41:57,000
Furthering the programming that the people themselves aren't enough that they're incapable of survival and being independent from big daddy government.

3234
04:41:57,000 --> 04:42:09,000
More lives, 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.

3235
04:42:09,000 --> 04:42:23,000
But, you know, that doesn't keep the system alive and that's all you guys are about having the people under submission and control and pretty unfortunate.

3236
04:42:23,000 --> 04:42:25,000
I got it.

3237
04:42:25,000 --> 04:42:26,000
You can turn it off.

3238
04:42:26,000 --> 04:42:30,000
Remember that concludes public comment on this item.

3239
04:42:30,000 --> 04:42:34,000
Okay, turn the floor to Supervisor Anderson.

3240
04:42:34,000 --> 04:42:36,000
Thank you.

3241
04:42:36,000 --> 04:42:39,000
I'd like to thank my colleague for bringing this forward.

3242
04:42:39,000 --> 04:42:46,000
This is a great idea and I just so appreciate it.

3243
04:42:46,000 --> 04:42:52,000
I also want to thank the Food Bank and feeding San Diego for their participation,

3244
04:42:52,000 --> 04:43:00,000
their hard work and I believe that they need a commitment to do this without overhead, which is amazing.

3245
04:43:00,000 --> 04:43:07,000
I do have a consideration I'd like to bring before you, a possible amendment.

3246
04:43:07,000 --> 04:43:10,000
Can we put up slide one?

3247
04:43:10,000 --> 04:43:16,000
When looking at areas of highest vulnerability, you know, just put the numbers in perspective,

3248
04:43:16,000 --> 04:43:28,000
in D2, the loss of calfresh benefits is at 44% higher than three of the districts put together.

3249
04:43:28,000 --> 04:43:42,000
And the communities of 91906, 91963 and 91980, as you see in the map, are the highest level of vulnerability.

3250
04:43:42,000 --> 04:43:53,000
And when I went through this, we have a lot of distribution in Spring Valley and Spring Valley is not of the same level of need.

3251
04:43:53,000 --> 04:43:57,000
In fact, two of the locations are within a mile of each other.

3252
04:43:57,000 --> 04:44:09,000
What I'd like to be concerned, by the way, if you live in 91906, the closest location is Spring Valley and that's Spring Valley locations over 31 miles one way.

3253
04:44:09,000 --> 04:44:21,000
And to put it perspective, in 91980, the household income is 21 to 49,000 depending on the track you're in.

3254
04:44:21,000 --> 04:44:27,000
In 91963, it's 10,354, that's household income for the year.

3255
04:44:27,000 --> 04:44:33,000
So these are people that are not going to be driving 30 miles one way to get these benefits.

3256
04:44:33,000 --> 04:44:39,000
And yeah, these are the ones that have been hit the hardest already over the last two months.

3257
04:44:39,000 --> 04:44:50,000
I'm asking, is that we request that 12 of the distributions proposed for Spring Valley location be moved to those three districts, those three zip codes.

3258
04:44:50,000 --> 04:44:56,000
And I would leave it to staff, by the way, we can pull up slide too to get a better idea.

3259
04:44:56,000 --> 04:44:59,000
But we do have some locations.

3260
04:45:00,000 --> 04:45:07,200
Add, I know that Amazon is partnering with feed, San Diego, distributing seven practices and

3261
04:45:07,200 --> 04:45:16,360
seven lunches during the summer. And maybe we could use a program like that. But I was hoping

3262
04:45:16,360 --> 04:45:20,600
you could take that as a friendly amendment so that these folks, the people who are greatest

3263
04:45:20,600 --> 04:45:28,400
in need, who are in the poorest of poor, would have access. It's not an easy ask, because it's

3264
04:45:28,400 --> 04:45:34,480
a logistics issue. But I know you're hard, so I'm feeling pretty good about this.

3265
04:45:34,480 --> 04:45:41,280
I just want to, because I know there were layers of information and data that were used

3266
04:45:41,280 --> 04:45:57,520
for the final product here. My only ask before we change it is what are the food banks doing

3267
04:45:57,520 --> 04:46:02,080
in the air. Well, is that the amount of impires that the, okay?

3268
04:46:02,080 --> 04:46:03,080
The amount of impires.

3269
04:46:03,080 --> 04:46:10,720
What are the, because there's two things. One is we took in a consideration. I believe what was

3270
04:46:10,720 --> 04:46:18,480
already there, as far as food banks are concerned and the work that they're doing there. And then we

3271
04:46:18,480 --> 04:46:27,120
have the additional $500,000 allocation that we would use to fill any of the gaps that these six

3272
04:46:27,120 --> 04:46:33,600
distribution centers are not filling. Right. That would include delivery services. It would

3273
04:46:33,600 --> 04:46:41,440
include being more specific to the needs if they were to do that. But I'd like to make it not open

3274
04:46:41,440 --> 04:46:45,920
to them. Yeah, they're clear that they're, I want to make sure it's clear that we're going there.

3275
04:46:45,920 --> 04:46:52,880
And because already, you know, 44% of these folks have already been hit. And you're the second

3276
04:46:52,880 --> 04:47:01,840
largest shockingly district one who's not that high in terms of cuts. Well, I guess just asking

3277
04:47:01,840 --> 04:47:07,600
what would that do logistically to change in one of the spring valley locations? We can either do that

3278
04:47:07,600 --> 04:47:18,160
or we can specify of the 500,000 that some of that will be used specifically for additional support to the

3279
04:47:18,160 --> 04:47:23,680
mountain empire, which I think may even be a better, a better way to do it because there may be

3280
04:47:23,680 --> 04:47:31,280
more specific needs in the community that require home delivery or other kind of distribution of the food.

3281
04:47:31,280 --> 04:47:38,720
So that, that is just where I'm at. But yes, let's try to get there. Do you want to ask staff,

3282
04:47:38,720 --> 04:47:44,400
what they would prefer, because as long as it's covered, I'm not going to quibble over how we get there. Right.

3283
04:47:44,800 --> 04:47:50,640
The spring valley locations aren't of the highest need. However, they're next to three of the

3284
04:47:50,640 --> 04:47:57,760
communities in your district. There are of the highest need. Yeah, between D4, also some in D1,

3285
04:47:57,760 --> 04:48:07,360
I think spring valley is covering. And also just thinking about the facilities to that the county has,

3286
04:48:07,360 --> 04:48:12,880
which you did bring that up in mountain empire. But what would be the preference for staff? What would be easier?

3287
04:48:13,840 --> 04:48:20,240
Thank you for that question through the chair. I think one B does provide us the most flexibility

3288
04:48:20,960 --> 04:48:27,280
in meeting the needs of that specific area. So agree that if we could just use at 500,000 dollars

3289
04:48:28,160 --> 04:48:34,320
and tailor the food distribution, whether it be home delivered or if we find a site, we'll do something there.

3290
04:48:35,040 --> 04:48:41,040
Can you have your office reach out to our office, because we have contacts in those communities,

3291
04:48:41,120 --> 04:48:48,080
and then just too often, you know, some of these people don't have internet. Some of these people,

3292
04:48:48,080 --> 04:48:54,160
I mean, it's object poverty and maybe they have internet, but they don't have access because they can't

3293
04:48:54,160 --> 04:49:01,440
afford access. So we have teams that go out there from time to time and knock on doors. I'd really like

3294
04:49:02,720 --> 04:49:08,880
to find out what you're thinking and then we want to make sure that we push that out so that nobody slips

3295
04:49:08,880 --> 04:49:14,000
to the cracks. Absolutely. Thank you. Is that good with you?

3296
04:49:14,000 --> 04:49:16,240
I'm good with that. I'll thank you. Wonderful.

3297
04:49:19,920 --> 04:49:26,000
It's you guys, Reguri. Thank you, Madam Chair. Well, I want to start off by thanking Vice Chair

3298
04:49:26,720 --> 04:49:32,320
Montgomery Step for your leadership on this. It's incredible work and it's incredibly important and

3299
04:49:32,720 --> 04:49:38,480
and it's just so unfortunate that here we are and we heard from the major food hubs, food distribution

3300
04:49:38,480 --> 04:49:46,880
hubs in the entire county, how significant the increase in need has been and how much families are

3301
04:49:46,880 --> 04:49:53,920
suffering. But I did want to, so I wanted to address two of the comments that I heard,

3302
04:49:54,880 --> 04:50:03,840
the lack of a refrigeration center in South Fay, that's correct. It's on my radar. We're looking at options.

3303
04:50:04,480 --> 04:50:10,720
It's something more long term outside of this particular discussion, but complementary to it.

3304
04:50:12,480 --> 04:50:23,200
Secondly, the possibility of looking at 9195 zeros as some of the commentators said.

3305
04:50:24,560 --> 04:50:32,640
So yeah, I will turn it over to step up what my understanding of 9195 zero is right now. There are about 23

3306
04:50:32,640 --> 04:50:38,960
distribution sites in the zip code that the food bank actually does.

3307
04:50:42,400 --> 04:50:48,480
We would have to check and see if that is accurate, right? I know there have four schools as well,

3308
04:50:48,480 --> 04:50:55,200
but I want to check and make sure that's the case. Even if it is the case, if there's again a way through the

3309
04:50:55,200 --> 04:51:06,080
one be allocation, if we could call out supporting that zip code as we do the analysis of what is

3310
04:51:06,080 --> 04:51:14,320
actually available and making sure that we communicating consult with district one on that zip code

3311
04:51:14,320 --> 04:51:21,280
when it comes to that additional $500,000 allocation. I think that would probably be the best way that way,

3312
04:51:21,360 --> 04:51:29,520
even if we have these distribution sites, if there's gaps in that right that we can or again,

3313
04:51:29,520 --> 04:51:34,400
home delivery, there's other methods of trying to get the food to people as they need. It's

3314
04:51:34,400 --> 04:51:39,840
I think that would provide the most flexibility if you're okay. I would welcome that. Thank you and

3315
04:51:39,840 --> 04:51:46,640
especially for the, you know, the case of Lincoln Acres being lived in with National City and

3316
04:51:46,640 --> 04:51:50,880
maybe we're pulling data from National City potentially that we're not accounting for maybe

3317
04:51:50,880 --> 04:51:58,240
some of the unincorporated areas. So I appreciate that and your amenability too. Looking at that. Thank you.

3318
04:51:59,440 --> 04:52:06,320
Oh and I don't know if there's this. I will. I'll make it. You're not second motion. I'm motion from

3319
04:52:06,320 --> 04:52:18,880
Vice Chair to the second from the Chair. Supervisor does me. Thank you, Mayor. I plan on supporting but one of

3320
04:52:19,360 --> 04:52:24,560
I think I need to address. This HR1 seems to be the hammer, the tool that seems to get

3321
04:52:25,920 --> 04:52:31,360
mischaracterized. I think by a lot of people in some of our speakers as well. The CalFresh is going to go away with

3322
04:52:31,360 --> 04:52:37,360
people who are going to not be eligible. The new requirements for CalFresh only applies to people

3323
04:52:37,360 --> 04:52:45,440
18 to 64 years old or able-bodied single and don't have children in the age of 14. The only requirement is

3324
04:52:45,440 --> 04:52:52,240
they have to volunteer or go to school 20 hours a week or they have a job and they have to submit

3325
04:52:52,240 --> 04:52:57,760
paperwork twice a year now instead of once a year. Those are the new requirements. So everybody that was

3326
04:52:57,760 --> 04:53:04,080
eligible before is still eligible. This CalFresh feature just kicked in a few weeks ago so we're going to

3327
04:53:04,080 --> 04:53:10,880
see how it all works out. And the same thing with the Metacal. Again this is able-bodied people are being

3328
04:53:10,880 --> 04:53:15,200
asked to work and like I said they can go to school or kick and volunteer for up to 20 hours a week.

3329
04:53:15,440 --> 04:53:24,320
It's very simple and easy and even here in the board letter it says they're at risk. It doesn't

3330
04:53:24,320 --> 04:53:31,680
say they're going to be losing. A lot of people are overblowing this HR1 when it's really just has some

3331
04:53:31,680 --> 04:53:38,080
work requirements in our volunteer requirements. And I do have a question I guess I'm going to be supportive

3332
04:53:38,080 --> 04:53:42,560
today but the zip code thing kind of throws me and I think one of the speakers I've mentioned that

3333
04:53:42,560 --> 04:53:48,880
to the zip codes are just because of where you're mailing address is it doesn't necessarily mean

3334
04:53:48,880 --> 04:53:54,320
you qualify or you're not. So if there's a way and I know maybe those food banks already do this don't

3335
04:53:54,320 --> 04:54:00,800
they have a qualification process or something like that for people that come in it's just it seems to be

3336
04:54:01,600 --> 04:54:08,320
a net with a bunch of holes in it at this point. Food banks have a lot of in partnership with the

3337
04:54:08,320 --> 04:54:15,280
her coalition do almost real-time data so they have data and it is based on zip code just because

3338
04:54:16,480 --> 04:54:22,000
that's you know unfortunately well I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole. We've been there already

3339
04:54:22,720 --> 04:54:28,160
but they do have data also the county we have data we have of course the role of people that

3340
04:54:29,440 --> 04:54:36,960
are eligible for Calfresh and at risk that's where the number comes from so I don't you know if we're not

3341
04:54:36,960 --> 04:54:44,560
targeting it based on the need based on the data that we collect then there it really becomes very

3342
04:54:44,560 --> 04:54:51,200
arbitrary and that we're trying to base it as much as possible on on on on data. Well and I agree with

3343
04:54:51,200 --> 04:54:57,520
that but by just there's somebody's not in one of these zip codes and they show up and they have a need I want

3344
04:54:57,520 --> 04:55:02,960
to make sure that they also have the opportunity. Absolutely and the hardest part about this is that

3345
04:55:03,920 --> 04:55:12,320
the need is great regardless of the community that we're talking about. This is just because we're trying to be

3346
04:55:12,320 --> 04:55:18,400
as we have discussed all day. Fiscally prudent we're trying to do the best we can for the most amount of

3347
04:55:18,400 --> 04:55:24,400
people for the most efficient cost that's really where this comes into play. You leave it up to me I'd

3348
04:55:24,400 --> 04:55:39,200
make sure that everybody has food no matter what. Okay back to you right sure. Just a couple

3349
04:55:39,200 --> 04:55:43,760
quick things and I and I do appreciate the discussion of course that's why things come to the board

3350
04:55:43,760 --> 04:55:50,080
because again we're all elected by our constituency and we know our districts right so I do appreciate

3351
04:55:50,080 --> 04:55:59,600
the additional input. I believe that the South County Livewell Center here may be actually in

3352
04:55:59,600 --> 04:56:08,240
950 but regardless we'll consult with D1 to make sure that we're clear on all of that and to the community

3353
04:56:08,240 --> 04:56:16,880
thank you for coming out and asking the questions. I just want to say this like it does not give me pleasure

3354
04:56:16,880 --> 04:56:26,080
to sit in the seat and say that 93,000 people are at risk. It doesn't give me pleasure. I don't need to hit someone

3355
04:56:26,080 --> 04:56:33,520
with that that doesn't agree with me on everything like this is not fun to say that but it is a reality that

3356
04:56:33,520 --> 04:56:40,800
there are more people at risk and that is just something that having gone through COVID, having gone through

3357
04:56:40,800 --> 04:56:49,040
the floods that it really was on my heart to try to be proactive and the thing is a big, big, big

3358
04:56:49,040 --> 04:56:55,280
part of this that I think is important is the data collection because if the need is less then we will spend

3359
04:56:55,280 --> 04:57:03,280
less money and it'll come back into our general fund and that will be a victory right like I'm not this is

3360
04:57:03,280 --> 04:57:09,760
this is not where I want to be but I think it's where we need to be right now we have to be proactive

3361
04:57:09,760 --> 04:57:15,680
I think a re-determination and those requirements and armwembrings that have shown us across the nation

3362
04:57:15,680 --> 04:57:20,960
that when states do re-determination people automatically fall off the rolls because oftentimes they don't

3363
04:57:20,960 --> 04:57:28,400
have the time or the knowledge to bring their paperwork in every six months so it has these practical

3364
04:57:29,440 --> 04:57:34,640
implications and we're just trying to mitigate for that's all and if we don't have to spend the money

3365
04:57:34,640 --> 04:57:42,640
then I think we'll all be very happy about that and we can use it elsewhere the data will tell us

3366
04:57:42,640 --> 04:57:48,160
that and it's very important that we keep that data and that we don't just say go off and spend the

3367
04:57:48,160 --> 04:57:54,320
money without understanding what the need is so I appreciate the conversation here and I'm done so

3368
04:57:56,640 --> 04:58:01,600
yeah I'm done thank you okay thank you very much for the motion for the second

3369
04:58:05,120 --> 04:58:08,800
try to last and remember that motion passes you in and this is the last supervisor's being present

3370
04:58:08,800 --> 04:58:20,480
and voting aye okay great and we'll now move on to item 13 so this is the continued item and

3371
04:58:21,680 --> 04:58:26,880
Joel this was your item initially sorry super's interesting so you like to say a couple words

3372
04:58:26,880 --> 04:58:33,920
yeah I like to present it real fast because hopefully it saves time when public comment that's not in it

3373
04:58:35,600 --> 04:58:42,480
so just to bring people to the speed on April 21st the board unanimously approved

3374
04:58:42,480 --> 04:58:49,120
directing the county staff to provide a board policy requiring board ad hoc subcommittees to undertake

3375
04:58:49,120 --> 04:58:56,240
several actions to ensure transparency in public access to meetings the recommended actions included

3376
04:58:56,240 --> 04:59:02,240
public posting of meeting agendas prior to the subcommittee meetings allowing the public to view the

3377
04:59:03,120 --> 04:59:08,960
and making the meeting minutes available to the public these mirror the standard transparency

3378
04:59:08,960 --> 04:59:15,520
actions the board takes under our regular board meetings although there they're they're continued to support

3379
04:59:15,520 --> 04:59:21,200
there's continued to be support for adopting a policy to provide the public with information and

3380
04:59:21,200 --> 04:59:28,080
access to board ad hoc subcommittee meetings some board members have raised concerns that some

3381
04:59:28,080 --> 04:59:33,520
information discussed during these meetings may need to be kept confidential I agree

3382
04:59:34,960 --> 04:59:41,680
this we need to be able to protect the personal information of juveniles but there's already

3383
04:59:41,680 --> 04:59:50,880
protections in state law the county can't violate state law the recommendations in item 13

3384
04:59:50,880 --> 04:59:52,880
would not change those protections

3385
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:07,700
Vice-transparency Actions to be taken by the Board at HACSO committees allows the Board to waive this policy

3386
05:00:07,700 --> 05:00:16,820
when necessary to do so to protect confidential information. Here's the rub. However, without this policy

3387
05:00:16,820 --> 05:00:25,260
in place, the public will continue to be completely shut out of numerous decisions being made by the minority

3388
05:00:25,260 --> 05:00:32,260
of the Board. When I say minority subcommittee can only be two people, so that's always the

3389
05:00:32,260 --> 05:00:39,900
minority of the Board. And I'm giving an example in not trying to pick a fight, but this is

3390
05:00:39,900 --> 05:00:46,180
a great example. During our Board and HACSO committees and juvenile justice meetings, critical

3391
05:00:46,180 --> 05:00:52,980
information and testimony may not be delivered by the Chief Provation Officer, the Council

3392
05:00:52,980 --> 05:00:59,540
of Juvenile Justice Administrators, the Juvenile Justice Division, law enforcement officials, and

3393
05:00:59,540 --> 05:01:06,260
youth advocacy groups. There's currently no way for the public or other Board members to access

3394
05:01:06,260 --> 05:01:12,900
that vital information, these officials and individuals have provided to these at HACSO committees.

3395
05:01:12,900 --> 05:01:19,340
Other hand, HACSO committees are making critical spending decisions, totaling tens of millions

3396
05:01:19,340 --> 05:01:25,300
of dollars that are only known by the public and other Board members once they have been brought

3397
05:01:25,300 --> 05:01:32,060
before the Board in final form. We're not seeing how this stuff. All the Board subcommittees

3398
05:01:32,060 --> 05:01:40,060
have done are posted, the testimonies are posted, and any member of this Board in real time can track

3399
05:01:40,060 --> 05:01:46,660
it. Although we're not communicating, it's available to the public, so it's available to the

3400
05:01:46,660 --> 05:01:55,860
Board. It doesn't violate the Brown Act. Now, by adopting this new Board policy A75, this

3401
05:01:55,860 --> 05:02:02,100
Board can demonstrate that it's serious about providing transparency and public access to information

3402
05:02:02,100 --> 05:02:08,300
considered by the Board members in real time, while continuing to protect the information that

3403
05:02:08,300 --> 05:02:18,500
should be kept confidential. I'd like to offer an amendment to my own Board letter, and

3404
05:02:18,500 --> 05:02:24,140
I think you have a copy of it. If you wouldn't mind putting it up, I want to be sensitive to

3405
05:02:24,140 --> 05:02:30,660
those confidential items, and I want to protect children. But I spent 12 years as the Vice

3406
05:02:30,660 --> 05:02:35,900
Chair of Public Safety in the state legislature. We had plenty of youth who testified before

3407
05:02:35,980 --> 05:02:43,220
our committees. We were able to meet the law, protect the kids, and still making sure that

3408
05:02:43,220 --> 05:02:50,980
the public understood. So we would provide summaries of what the youth would provide in testimony, but

3409
05:02:50,980 --> 05:03:01,100
all of the adults in the room. Their testimony was immediately made available for folks to follow. So with

3410
05:03:01,100 --> 05:03:09,660
this, this says, notwithstanding the foregone in the ad hoc subcommittee, may meet confidential

3411
05:03:09,660 --> 05:03:18,660
on any topic which the RELF M Brown Act would permit a legislative body to meet in close session. If

3412
05:03:18,660 --> 05:03:25,540
not already covered by the Brown Act or state law, state law covers juveniles, so that would

3413
05:03:25,540 --> 05:03:32,860
all be there. If an ad hoc subcommittee decides to meet confidential, the co-chairs must communicate

3414
05:03:32,860 --> 05:03:40,620
the need and justify for holding a confidential meeting to the other board members in chief CAO in

3415
05:03:40,620 --> 05:03:46,200
clerk of the board in County Council. So in other words, you would automatically be covered by state

3416
05:03:46,200 --> 05:03:53,540
law, so you could absolutely protect the youth or any item, say it's a personnel item, say

3417
05:03:53,540 --> 05:03:57,620
it's another sensitive item. Absolutely, you would have the right to do it because that would

3418
05:03:57,620 --> 05:04:03,780
be covered by the Brown Act if this was a full board. So that would be the guardrails to make sure

3419
05:04:03,780 --> 05:04:09,380
that we're not doing it. But if you had law enforcement and they were giving testimony, or you

3420
05:04:09,380 --> 05:04:17,380
were asking AI experts, and you had a subcommittee, you know, a panel of AI experts, everybody would

3421
05:04:17,380 --> 05:04:24,780
have access to that. They'd be able to see it, they'd be able to understand it. When you have

3422
05:04:24,780 --> 05:04:30,660
an open process like that, too, one of the things I like is we did receive emails from folks with

3423
05:04:30,660 --> 05:04:38,900
additional questions or with additional thoughts, and they were helpful in terms of who we brought

3424
05:04:38,900 --> 05:04:44,940
in the next round of questioning, and that we covered all the topics. Now, much of it, I have to

3425
05:04:44,940 --> 05:04:50,540
admit, when people submitted it to us, it wasn't relevant. They didn't fully understand the

3426
05:04:50,540 --> 05:04:56,940
subject matter, and they had a good idea, but the idea was against the law. So that was not something

3427
05:04:56,940 --> 05:05:02,620
that would get any traction. But we're missing out on that input. And frankly, I'm missing out

3428
05:05:02,620 --> 05:05:09,780
as a board member when these things come before us, and I have no way of knowing how that decision

3429
05:05:09,900 --> 05:05:17,900
was made. When it comes to a board in staff does it, we have staff to a presentation, and

3430
05:05:17,900 --> 05:05:25,340
we can ask all the expertise of the staff, but now we're going outside of the staff and not seeing

3431
05:05:25,340 --> 05:05:32,140
what they're saying, not hearing, not hearing what they're saying and not seeing what they're suggesting

3432
05:05:32,140 --> 05:05:39,740
is very, very problematic. So I'm hoping I solved the transparency issue by putting

3433
05:05:40,460 --> 05:05:50,700
big guardrails in place over things that need protection in the meetings, and individuals that need

3434
05:05:50,700 --> 05:05:57,900
protection in the meetings, or subject matter. Thank you, ma'am, Chair. Okay. By the way, it's a motion.

3435
05:05:57,900 --> 05:06:07,180
It's a motion. It's a motion. It's a motion to pass the item as drafted with the addition of

3436
05:06:07,180 --> 05:06:16,900
item of C, and a second from Supervisor Desmond, who will now go to public comment. Thank you, Chair

3437
05:06:16,900 --> 05:06:26,140
Lawson Rimmer. We have 44 requests to speak on the side. I'm an 18 and person and 26 requesting to speak

3438
05:06:26,140 --> 05:06:31,660
by phone. Also know for the record that we received 90 comments, all of those in support. For any

3439
05:06:31,660 --> 05:06:36,140
individuals that requested to speak on item 13 by phone, please dial in the conference line using

3440
05:06:36,140 --> 05:06:40,300
the instructions that we're provided to you. We'll begin with the in-person speakers as

3441
05:06:40,300 --> 05:06:43,980
your name is called. Please support and stand on the arrows until it is served to speak at the podium

3442
05:06:43,980 --> 05:06:48,860
because there are 10 or more speakers on the side of me. You'll have one minute to address the board. I'll ask you to

3443
05:06:48,860 --> 05:06:54,620
please begin by stating your name for the audio record. I'll be calling you groups of three. So please listen for your

3444
05:06:54,620 --> 05:07:01,420
name. The first three individuals are Ryan Holmes, Brett of Lindstrom and Dolly Madison.

3445
05:07:01,820 --> 05:07:09,740
Have a good afternoon, please come forward. Good afternoon, my name is Ryan Holmes and thank you

3446
05:07:09,740 --> 05:07:18,700
for your time. I'm here speaking in support of agenda item 13. The weight of public view into the discussions

3447
05:07:18,700 --> 05:07:26,060
we're having today is obvious in your behavior and how you speak to one another. And the diplomacy

3448
05:07:26,060 --> 05:07:32,060
that requires and the thoughtfulness and the care that that requires. And that might also be an argument

3449
05:07:32,060 --> 05:07:39,980
for this measure. Much of what becomes ordinance finds its origin in ad hoc committees. And in the

3450
05:07:39,980 --> 05:07:47,900
absence of public view, many things can occur in gain legs and momentum that may not be in the public

3451
05:07:47,900 --> 05:07:53,740
interests, but might serve an individual interest. So there's a fair amount of argument for,

3452
05:07:53,740 --> 05:07:59,500
though it may seem less than elegant to have that kind of input. There's a tremendous amount

3453
05:07:59,500 --> 05:08:05,260
of value in having that kind of oversight from your fellow constituents, right? In real time. So I thank you

3454
05:08:05,260 --> 05:08:17,180
for your time. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, Brett to Lindstrom District 3 and yes, I support

3455
05:08:17,180 --> 05:08:25,580
transparency to board-created ad hoc committees. Thank you. This proposal is truly transparent.

3456
05:08:25,580 --> 05:08:31,900
And we must end secret subcommittee meetings. Let the constituents be informed of these crucial

3457
05:08:31,900 --> 05:08:40,700
conversations. Obviously, the state mandated private privacy aspects will be protected. And so I assume

3458
05:08:40,700 --> 05:08:46,300
that this is going to be passed unanimously, right? Since you all have stated endorsement of

3459
05:08:46,300 --> 05:08:52,860
transparency, right? So I'm looking forward to the vote. And thank you, Supervisor Anderson.

3460
05:08:56,060 --> 05:08:59,660
Thank you. I'd like to invite four or three more speakers, Oliver Twist,

3461
05:08:59,660 --> 05:09:08,780
allegedly Audra and Doyle Morrison. Madison, I strongly support item 13. We need transparency and need to

3462
05:09:08,860 --> 05:09:17,660
know where the sausage is made. The people spoke when voters voted for a specific term for

3463
05:09:17,660 --> 05:09:25,420
you, Supervisors. Today, you voted yourselves longer terms. Unless you're a hypocrite, this means you

3464
05:09:25,420 --> 05:09:33,820
are all okay when President Trump, if he extends his term. As I also like to add today, Techloady Canyon,

3465
05:09:34,460 --> 05:09:41,820
especially on the Cowley Wayside, is a San Diego wildfires ticking time bomb and we need people

3466
05:09:41,820 --> 05:09:49,580
out there to trim back and weed abatement. Provenative measures like that are what help us from having

3467
05:09:49,580 --> 05:09:55,180
all these people homeless on the is one avenue that helps from so many people ended up homeless

3468
05:09:56,220 --> 05:10:03,020
and in the streets or wherever they can be. Today, we discussed millions of dollars for organizations

3469
05:10:03,020 --> 05:10:09,980
and that were fast for food, housing, rapper, and services and attorneys. Good. Thank you. Thank you.

3470
05:10:09,980 --> 05:10:13,820
Thank you. Time is up. Thank you. Next speaker, please.

3471
05:10:19,020 --> 05:10:27,980
Hello, my name is Doyle Morrison and I am in favor and support of this before us because

3472
05:10:28,540 --> 05:10:36,540
it's important to have the transparency so that everyone can pay attention to what's going on.

3473
05:10:37,100 --> 05:10:43,900
I spoke with a gentleman at lunch at the break and we had this conversation about concern about

3474
05:10:45,660 --> 05:10:52,860
privacy for some of the children that are happening and I believe Joe Anderson's amendment has taken care

3475
05:10:52,860 --> 05:11:00,780
of that so that they can be protected and the people can stay informed. I believe that

3476
05:11:02,220 --> 05:11:07,900
you guys can all agree that this is a win-win if we can have the transparency and we can protect

3477
05:11:07,900 --> 05:11:13,260
the children. Thank you for the concern. Thank you. Next speaker is coming forward on

3478
05:11:13,260 --> 05:11:18,300
light three additional speakers. Alicia Morrison, Marco Espinoza and David Ray.

3479
05:11:20,300 --> 05:11:25,900
Hi, yes. Good afternoon. Mary Davis, I hate Oliver Twist and I'm strongly in favor of this and

3480
05:11:25,900 --> 05:11:31,660
I do consider myself a seasoned veteran of this chamber and I have to say that my what four or five years

3481
05:11:31,660 --> 05:11:38,380
of being here, even I am confused about how policy comes forward and gets crafted. It seems too much

3482
05:11:38,380 --> 05:11:44,860
is done behind closed doors in the darkness. I'm saying bring it all out and you hold your boards

3483
05:11:44,860 --> 05:11:50,220
and commissions to that standard so I don't understand why you would not hold every of your committee

3484
05:11:50,220 --> 05:11:56,220
save those that do truly require sensitivity like juveniles and et cetera. I'd also like to

3485
05:11:56,220 --> 05:12:02,700
bring up this time this might be the perfect time. I've worked with your financial office and for the

3486
05:12:02,700 --> 05:12:08,700
county reserve tracker real-time dashboard so I would like maybe also to think about this in some

3487
05:12:08,700 --> 05:12:14,540
kind of transparency just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. I did send it and I had AI

3488
05:12:14,540 --> 05:12:20,140
created a beautiful dashboard. It links to every vote you would do so please bring that forward as

3489
05:12:20,140 --> 05:12:29,660
transparency. Thank you. I'll hear from the next speaker. Good afternoon, Alicia Morrison.

3490
05:12:30,540 --> 05:12:36,220
It is nice to stay informed. The preemble of the Brown Act State Public Commission's

3491
05:12:36,220 --> 05:12:42,060
boards, councils and other legislative bodies of local government agencies exist to aid in the

3492
05:12:42,060 --> 05:12:48,220
conduct of the people's business. The people do not yield their sovereignty to bodies that serve them.

3493
05:12:48,220 --> 05:12:54,700
The people insist on remaining informed to retain control over the legislative bodies they have created.

3494
05:12:55,660 --> 05:13:03,500
For example, right now, San Diego Parks Advisory Committee is missing April and May

3495
05:13:03,500 --> 05:13:11,420
minutes from the website so you can't even go and review what was what business was conducted at those

3496
05:13:11,420 --> 05:13:19,420
meetings. Let's support this. I've seen nothing wrong with it. If there is private sensitive material

3497
05:13:19,420 --> 05:13:26,860
redacted, if there is a concern for a private individual information exposed,

3498
05:13:30,860 --> 05:13:41,100
I'll ask my health. Thank you. Good afternoon, Board. My name is Dave Ray. I live in Spring Valley District 1.

3499
05:13:41,900 --> 05:13:45,420
Today, this afternoon and this morning we've seen quite a lot of

3500
05:13:46,780 --> 05:13:51,820
animosity of the citizens against the Board members for how you're conducting your work.

3501
05:13:52,780 --> 05:13:56,220
A while back there was another huge situation with the placement of the

3502
05:13:57,900 --> 05:14:05,500
minicab and shelters in Lemming Grove against the visciferous opposition by the citizens of Lemming

3503
05:14:05,660 --> 05:14:12,300
Grove in Spring Valley. However, you have an amazing opportunity in front of you right now

3504
05:14:12,300 --> 05:14:20,540
to redeem yourselves and to repair this situation by showing this that you really, really do care about

3505
05:14:20,540 --> 05:14:32,060
the citizens. I support supervisor Anderson's idea and I urge you to strongly support it as well

3506
05:14:32,700 --> 05:14:39,660
because it will give you an opportunity to really show accountability and transparency. Thank you.

3507
05:14:42,380 --> 05:14:47,820
Thank you. It's the next speaker coming forward. I'll invite three additional speakers, Alejandro Martinez,

3508
05:14:47,820 --> 05:14:52,300
homeowner, Yusufi, and Rama Obdino.

3509
05:15:00,000 --> 05:15:07,000
I am in favor of this item. Thank you to supervisor Anderson for bringing it forward.

3510
05:15:07,000 --> 05:15:14,000
Him and I sit on different sides of the aisle, but in my time and coming to Board of Supervisors,

3511
05:15:14,000 --> 05:15:22,000
meeting meetings, I found it to be very kind, reasonable, often funny, but very strong-hearted

3512
05:15:22,000 --> 05:15:29,000
man, so I thank him for this. And the second from supervisor Desmond.

3513
05:15:29,000 --> 05:15:38,000
And just to wrap up for item 12, sorry, hunger, pain, and lust are all very strong

3514
05:15:38,000 --> 05:15:44,000
motivating factors and food insecurity has both physiological and psychological effect

3515
05:15:44,000 --> 05:15:49,000
and mitigating that helps the wider community in various ways.

3516
05:15:49,000 --> 05:15:51,000
Thank you.

3517
05:15:51,000 --> 05:15:53,000
Thank you. Can you speak or please?

3518
05:15:53,000 --> 05:15:57,000
Hi. Thank you. Good afternoon again, Board of Supervisors. My name is Alejandro.

3519
05:15:57,000 --> 05:16:03,000
Supervisor Joe Anderson. I'm glad you brought up the juvenile justice ad hoc subcommittee

3520
05:16:03,000 --> 05:16:06,000
because it's exactly what I'm going to allude to.

3521
05:16:06,000 --> 05:16:12,000
While transparency is so important, I work in the juvenile justice landscape and transparency is something that

3522
05:16:12,000 --> 05:16:18,000
we're always trying to overcome, especially with certain agencies that work in this county.

3523
05:16:19,000 --> 05:16:25,000
What we have been able to do in the ad hoc as is is the reason why we had so many young people come in today

3524
05:16:25,000 --> 05:16:28,000
and present and share their stories.

3525
05:16:28,000 --> 05:16:35,000
So I would really encourage any form of the changing of any ad hoc that you advise the young people

3526
05:16:35,000 --> 05:16:39,000
in that juvenile justice ad hoc subcommittee. If this is something they want.

3527
05:16:39,000 --> 05:16:45,000
So we should be centering these young people as we're making these decisions about meetings that are centering

3528
05:16:45,000 --> 05:16:50,000
their voices, their stories, right? And so if we disrupt that juvenile,

3529
05:16:50,000 --> 05:16:54,000
we're going to disrupt a lot of the powerful work that we're doing right now in the county.

3530
05:16:54,000 --> 05:16:58,000
So I would just recommend that you think twice about what we're trying to do here.

3531
05:16:58,000 --> 05:17:00,000
Thank you.

3532
05:17:00,000 --> 05:17:01,000
Thank you.

3533
05:17:01,000 --> 05:17:03,000
Speak or please?

3534
05:17:06,000 --> 05:17:12,000
Good afternoon. My name is Rahma Abdi. I'm with a Pana and also resident of district four.

3535
05:17:12,000 --> 05:17:17,000
I'm here to oppose an item 13. Our organization worked with immigrant refugee communities.

3536
05:17:17,000 --> 05:17:22,000
We support transparency and accountability. However, I do not support this proposal.

3537
05:17:22,000 --> 05:17:26,000
We already have many rules, meetings, and public process.

3538
05:17:26,000 --> 05:17:29,000
And the final decision always made by the board.

3539
05:17:29,000 --> 05:17:36,000
Our community are important because they help supervisor discuss the new issue and respond to the community needs quickly.

3540
05:17:36,000 --> 05:17:41,000
They are created to address specific issues and provide recommendation.

3541
05:17:41,000 --> 05:17:46,000
And I ask you also vote no on this item. Thank you.

3542
05:17:46,000 --> 05:17:48,000
Thank you.

3543
05:17:48,000 --> 05:17:51,000
The next speaker is coming forward. I'll call three additional speakers.

3544
05:17:51,000 --> 05:17:57,000
Move home and Alexander Valentine and Michelle Krueg.

3545
05:17:57,000 --> 05:18:03,000
I've called your name. Please come forward.

3546
05:18:03,000 --> 05:18:06,000
This won't pass.

3547
05:18:06,000 --> 05:18:11,000
Because there's putas.

3548
05:18:11,000 --> 05:18:13,000
Diran.

3549
05:18:13,000 --> 05:18:14,000
That's why.

3550
05:18:14,000 --> 05:18:17,000
And it's interesting because you guys don't want to be transparent.

3551
05:18:17,000 --> 05:18:19,000
What's actually going on with the children.

3552
05:18:19,000 --> 05:18:21,000
And that's what's so nefarious.

3553
05:18:21,000 --> 05:18:24,000
But all things and done in the dark will come to the light.

3554
05:18:24,000 --> 05:18:30,000
And it's interesting that we think or someone here thinks that Joel and Jim took an oath to protect Paloma's feelings.

3555
05:18:30,000 --> 05:18:35,000
But if I want to say punta, verga, kulo, negra, estupida.

3556
05:18:35,000 --> 05:18:40,000
I mean, kekatsa, shakatina, mirad.

3557
05:18:40,000 --> 05:18:42,000
Whatever I want to say, I can.

3558
05:18:42,000 --> 05:18:43,000
It's protected under free speech.

3559
05:18:43,000 --> 05:18:46,000
And that's what you took an oath to uphold.

3560
05:18:46,000 --> 05:18:49,000
So you can sit here and be offended all you want.

3561
05:18:49,000 --> 05:18:54,000
But you sat there and you said, I love when you guys go up there and you love use your free speech.

3562
05:18:54,000 --> 05:18:56,000
You want to impede it every chance you get.

3563
05:18:56,000 --> 05:19:00,000
That's a violation of the law and set you guys up for litigation.

3564
05:19:00,000 --> 05:19:02,000
So I suggest you stop.

3565
05:19:02,000 --> 05:19:07,000
And I can say punta, putta, whatever all I want.

3566
05:19:07,000 --> 05:19:12,000
Next speaker, please.

3567
05:19:12,000 --> 05:19:14,000
I've called your name.

3568
05:19:14,000 --> 05:19:15,000
Thank you.

3569
05:19:15,000 --> 05:19:19,000
Here goes the meeting.

3570
05:19:23,000 --> 05:19:24,000
Michelle Krug.

3571
05:19:24,000 --> 05:19:31,000
And I guess I've been spoiled with the city of San Diego because all of the,

3572
05:19:31,000 --> 05:19:35,000
and I know there's a difference between ad hoc committees and standing committees.

3573
05:19:35,000 --> 05:19:43,000
But I've always been able to see when a committee is meeting in my government,

3574
05:19:43,000 --> 05:19:45,000
in my city government.

3575
05:19:45,000 --> 05:19:51,000
So I really would appreciate knowing that, knowing what the topics are,

3576
05:19:51,000 --> 05:19:57,000
even being able to just give that feedback even if it wasn't at the meeting.

3577
05:19:57,000 --> 05:20:01,000
But I do think it's important that that be all calendared.

3578
05:20:01,000 --> 05:20:04,000
So we do know that that's happening.

3579
05:20:04,000 --> 05:20:07,000
And what the topics are.

3580
05:20:07,000 --> 05:20:10,000
I'm on the persons with disabilities committee,

3581
05:20:10,000 --> 05:20:13,000
and even a baby committee like that.

3582
05:20:13,000 --> 05:20:16,000
We adhere to the Brown Act.

3583
05:20:16,000 --> 05:20:21,000
So I would, I would like to see that happen with all of our committees.

3584
05:20:21,000 --> 05:20:22,000
Thank you.

3585
05:20:22,000 --> 05:20:23,000
Thank you.

3586
05:20:23,000 --> 05:20:25,000
Like to write for additional speakers.

3587
05:20:25,000 --> 05:20:29,000
Lucky, Aiden, Brett of Lindstrom, and DeAndrey Brooks.

3588
05:20:35,000 --> 05:20:36,000
Okay.

3589
05:20:36,000 --> 05:20:37,000
Good afternoon.

3590
05:20:37,000 --> 05:20:38,000
Supervisors.

3591
05:20:38,000 --> 05:20:41,000
Lucky, Aiden, District 4, resident with Pana.

3592
05:20:41,000 --> 05:20:45,000
Pana poses this item because we don't believe that adding more periodic hurdles.

3593
05:20:45,000 --> 05:20:48,000
It helps increase transparency and oversight in the government.

3594
05:20:48,000 --> 05:20:51,000
We do believe that making meetings.

3595
05:20:51,000 --> 05:20:52,000
Public is important.

3596
05:20:52,000 --> 05:20:54,000
Providing meeting notes and so on.

3597
05:20:54,000 --> 05:20:57,000
But those are already part of the iHark at Hark.

3598
05:20:57,000 --> 05:20:59,000
Community procedures are already.

3599
05:20:59,000 --> 05:21:04,000
The at Hark community procedures for those in juvenile justice uncovered real issues.

3600
05:21:04,000 --> 05:21:06,000
And now O.C. sprays is no longer used.

3601
05:21:06,000 --> 05:21:08,000
Going to be used on our youth.

3602
05:21:08,000 --> 05:21:11,000
We urge you to vote no on this item because

3603
05:21:11,000 --> 05:21:16,000
we're on a full community should have a safe place to bring up critical and emerging issues.

3604
05:21:16,000 --> 05:21:17,000
Thank you.

3605
05:21:17,000 --> 05:21:18,000
Thank you.

3606
05:21:18,000 --> 05:21:26,000
And a final call for homirious FE Muhammad Alexander Valentin.

3607
05:21:26,000 --> 05:21:29,000
DeAndrey Brooks.

3608
05:21:29,000 --> 05:21:31,000
Not seeing those individuals.

3609
05:21:31,000 --> 05:21:34,000
We're now here from the individuals that requested to speak by phone.

3610
05:21:34,000 --> 05:21:37,000
We will start with the first caller.

3611
05:21:37,000 --> 05:21:44,000
Good afternoon again.

3612
05:21:44,000 --> 05:21:51,000
This is Kathleen LeBent and I think supervisor Anderson for his thoughtful and well

3613
05:21:51,000 --> 05:21:57,000
spoken comments about his item here item 13.

3614
05:21:57,000 --> 05:21:59,000
Absolutely supported.

3615
05:21:59,000 --> 05:22:06,000
There is more more transparency is always necessary.

3616
05:22:06,000 --> 05:22:11,000
The public is already challenged in navigating the county's website.

3617
05:22:11,000 --> 05:22:16,000
There are again those staff reports, the bureaucratic language that's used.

3618
05:22:16,000 --> 05:22:23,000
We did not need any more that is obscured under the cloak of politicization.

3619
05:22:23,000 --> 05:22:25,000
So thank you.

3620
05:22:25,000 --> 05:22:28,000
And I hope that you will support this item.

3621
05:22:28,000 --> 05:22:31,000
And thank you again, supervisor Anderson.

3622
05:22:32,000 --> 05:22:33,000
Thank you.

3623
05:22:33,000 --> 05:22:38,000
We'll hear from the next caller.

3624
05:22:42,000 --> 05:22:47,000
All about the figures that this was the last item on the original agenda.

3625
05:22:47,000 --> 05:22:52,000
You just don't want to reveal your dirty little secrets.

3626
05:22:52,000 --> 05:22:59,000
You mentioned privacy, many diverse secrets say every little excuse you can find.

3627
05:22:59,000 --> 05:23:00,000
But you know what?

3628
05:23:00,000 --> 05:23:03,000
It's all government stuff.

3629
05:23:03,000 --> 05:23:05,000
All discoverable.

3630
05:23:05,000 --> 05:23:12,000
That's what the voice of San Diego, PRA, the public records act.

3631
05:23:12,000 --> 05:23:14,000
The lawsuit is all about.

3632
05:23:14,000 --> 05:23:17,000
We're viewing government's dirty little secrets.

3633
05:23:17,000 --> 05:23:20,000
The new policy looks good.

3634
05:23:20,000 --> 05:23:21,000
Great job.

3635
05:23:21,000 --> 05:23:25,000
This will definitely increase the transparency,

3636
05:23:26,000 --> 05:23:31,000
and that seems to be a wider distribution of ideas and opinions.

3637
05:23:31,000 --> 05:23:35,000
When it comes to discussing, proving, meeting topics.

3638
05:23:35,000 --> 05:23:36,000
Current sense.

3639
05:23:36,000 --> 05:23:38,000
Criminal justice.

3640
05:23:38,000 --> 05:23:43,000
I'm sure the board warden to want us to know would be changed.

3641
05:23:43,000 --> 05:23:44,000
I did.

3642
05:23:44,000 --> 05:23:47,000
Here from the next caller.

3643
05:23:47,000 --> 05:23:57,000
I'm going to follow here.

3644
05:23:57,000 --> 05:24:01,000
I'm just a tear of paint attention and seen.

3645
05:24:01,000 --> 05:24:03,000
But the others are saying.

3646
05:24:03,000 --> 05:24:08,000
Yeah, it's good to see drunken zombie in the chambers.

3647
05:24:08,000 --> 05:24:11,000
Glad you're back at it paint attention.

3648
05:24:11,000 --> 05:24:14,000
But let's see.

3649
05:24:15,000 --> 05:24:18,000
Yeah, that's all I have on the side.

3650
05:24:18,000 --> 05:24:23,000
What do you think?

3651
05:24:23,000 --> 05:24:26,000
Thank you.

3652
05:24:26,000 --> 05:24:27,000
Thank you.

3653
05:24:27,000 --> 05:24:30,000
Well, here from the next caller.

3654
05:24:45,000 --> 05:24:49,000
Barbara Gordon.

3655
05:24:49,000 --> 05:24:54,000
I urge you to adopt this board policy A75.

3656
05:24:54,000 --> 05:24:59,000
That will clearly identify the actions of any ad hoc subcommittee.

3657
05:24:59,000 --> 05:25:05,000
This policy is necessary to ensure the public a level of transparency and accountability.

3658
05:25:05,000 --> 05:25:09,000
That continues to be missing from this board.

3659
05:25:09,000 --> 05:25:17,000
Your constituents need to be informed of the actions taken by all ad hoc committees.

3660
05:25:17,000 --> 05:25:23,000
Particularly when important policies and financial matters are being discussed and acted upon.

3661
05:25:23,000 --> 05:25:29,000
County residents deserve access to the subcommittee meetings and information.

3662
05:25:29,000 --> 05:25:33,000
There needs to be rules and guidance for the operation of these committees.

3663
05:25:33,000 --> 05:25:37,000
There needs to be a schedule of all meetings posted online with agendas,

3664
05:25:37,000 --> 05:25:40,000
material prior to the meeting.

3665
05:25:40,000 --> 05:25:45,000
Again, I urge you to vote for this new board policy A75.

3666
05:25:45,000 --> 05:25:48,000
Thank you very much.

3667
05:25:48,000 --> 05:25:49,000
Thank you.

3668
05:25:49,000 --> 05:25:51,000
Well, here from the next caller.

3669
05:26:00,000 --> 05:26:02,000
Good afternoon, board supervisors.

3670
05:26:02,000 --> 05:26:04,000
My name is Russell James.

3671
05:26:04,000 --> 05:26:08,000
I'm speaking in support of item 13.

3672
05:26:08,000 --> 05:26:10,000
This measure has value.

3673
05:26:10,000 --> 05:26:12,000
I'm asking you all.

3674
05:26:12,000 --> 05:26:16,000
Your support for this measure as well.

3675
05:26:16,000 --> 05:26:19,000
Previous opposition from some board members.

3676
05:26:19,000 --> 05:26:24,000
Remind pity and adequately address an options offer to mitigate these issues.

3677
05:26:24,000 --> 05:26:30,000
Unfortunately, this measure is still not being supported.

3678
05:26:30,000 --> 05:26:36,000
Public deserves transparency and I urge you to vote yes on this.

3679
05:26:36,000 --> 05:26:39,000
The members that refuse to the sport this measure.

3680
05:26:39,000 --> 05:26:44,000
Please remember that the public comment is overwhelmingly supporting it.

3681
05:26:44,000 --> 05:26:45,000
We are watching.

3682
05:26:45,000 --> 05:26:47,000
We will remember.

3683
05:26:47,000 --> 05:26:49,000
Your actions come.

3684
05:26:49,000 --> 05:26:54,000
We will remember your actions come in re-election time.

3685
05:26:54,000 --> 05:26:59,000
Your actions are lack thereof you have consequences.

3686
05:26:59,000 --> 05:27:03,000
Thank you for your time.

3687
05:27:03,000 --> 05:27:04,000
Thank you.

3688
05:27:04,000 --> 05:27:09,000
Here from the next caller.

3689
05:27:09,000 --> 05:27:11,000
Good afternoon.

3690
05:27:11,000 --> 05:27:13,000
Board of supervisors.

3691
05:27:13,000 --> 05:27:14,000
My name is Marianne Scale.

3692
05:27:14,000 --> 05:27:19,000
I came today to support item 13 because those of us living in the unincorporated field.

3693
05:27:19,000 --> 05:27:25,000
Very much cut off from the flow of information behind the decision making that is happening

3694
05:27:25,000 --> 05:27:27,000
at board of supervisors.

3695
05:27:27,000 --> 05:27:34,000
And the background of her making associated to those decisions that may have come from an ad hoc committee meeting.

3696
05:27:34,000 --> 05:27:46,000
As you know, I am 13 recommends that a minimum of that a minimum of that a minimum of that a minimum of that a minimum of that a minimum of that a minimum of the public must have access to a agenda for ad hoc committee.

3697
05:27:46,000 --> 05:27:50,000
We are names are not necessarily just general topics that are on the agenda.

3698
05:27:50,000 --> 05:27:54,000
And at a minimum an opportunity to know the results of the agenda.

3699
05:27:54,000 --> 05:27:57,000
Again, no names are necessary.

3700
05:27:57,000 --> 05:28:07,000
It would also be useful to know what the supporting materials were associated with when making decisions on the agenda that are not confidential.

3701
05:28:07,000 --> 05:28:15,000
This would be a safe and reasonable way to begin so that this board of supervisors would not seem so resistant.

3702
05:28:15,000 --> 05:28:16,000
Thank you.

3703
05:28:16,000 --> 05:28:18,000
Let's go.

3704
05:28:24,000 --> 05:28:27,000
Peggy Walker, I strongly favor this.

3705
05:28:27,000 --> 05:28:33,000
There are lots and remorse that's earlier that charter reform has been a court participatory process.

3706
05:28:33,000 --> 05:28:38,000
That is a griege of so in balance outside its special interest groups.

3707
05:28:38,000 --> 05:28:45,000
The public have little opportunity for input or scrutiny of that proposal and was cut off from board meeting comment.

3708
05:28:45,000 --> 05:28:48,000
Transparency builds trust.

3709
05:28:48,000 --> 05:28:50,000
That's compelling reason.

3710
05:28:50,000 --> 05:29:00,000
If you really believe in quote participatory processes or ad hoc committees to operate with clear rules and meaningful public access.

3711
05:29:00,000 --> 05:29:09,000
That means access to know who's at the table and how decisions are shaped before reaching board meetings.

3712
05:29:09,000 --> 05:29:23,000
Your yes vote on this issue will be a true measure of your commitment to the participatory process and transparency or whether that's just convenient rhetoric.

3713
05:29:23,000 --> 05:29:28,000
Appropriate exclusions for vulnerable issues have been addressed.

3714
05:29:28,000 --> 05:29:36,000
Good afternoon.

3715
05:29:36,000 --> 05:29:51,000
My name is Becky Rapp and I urge you to support board policy a 75 because transparency should apply to all board created subcommittees, especially when they're discussing major policy issues before they come to the full board.

3716
05:29:51,000 --> 05:29:55,000
A good example is the county's socially equitable cannabis program.

3717
05:29:55,000 --> 05:30:00,000
This program has been under development for years and could have significant impact on public health.

3718
05:30:00,000 --> 05:30:23,000
Public safety, safety, neighborhood, youth exposure, and county finances. Yet many residents have found a difficult to track where recommendations were developed, and what discussions occurred before they reached the board. The public deserve time-long notice of meetings, access to agenda as recordings, meeting materials, consultant information, and clear documentation of recommendations.

3719
05:30:23,000 --> 05:30:30,000
Transparency should begin when policies are being developed, not just when final decisions are scheduled for a board vote.

3720
05:30:30,000 --> 05:30:38,000
The policy will help ensure that residents can follow important discussions, understand how recommendations are formed, and participate.

3721
05:30:39,000 --> 05:30:41,000
Thank you. We'll hear from the next call.

3722
05:30:47,000 --> 05:31:00,000
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors. I appreciate this opportunity to share my support for item 13, regarding supervisor Anderson's proposal regarding ad hoc committees.

3723
05:31:00,000 --> 05:31:12,000
I find it confusing that maybe my Board of Supervisors wouldn't have the information he needed because he doesn't get any of it from an ad hoc committee.

3724
05:31:12,000 --> 05:31:19,000
Imagine how that extends out to those of us who live out here in the incorcorated area. We don't have an access to understand.

3725
05:31:19,000 --> 05:31:40,000
It has been said that transparency is the bedrock of trust, accountability, and authentic relationships. It eliminates hidden agendas, foster psychological safety, and allows genuine connection to blurry, proving that honesty is the ultimate catalyst for both personal and organizational integrity.

3726
05:31:40,000 --> 05:31:50,000
I would add to that the these opportunities to understand what's happening in our county and the agendas and decisions and supporting material.

3727
05:31:50,000 --> 05:31:53,000
Thank you for hear from the next caller.

3728
05:31:53,000 --> 05:32:06,000
A. It's true. Round four of hearing this. I know that transparency that's care of many Monica continue to resist like cockroaches in the light.

3729
05:32:06,000 --> 05:32:18,000
The correct progress is don't want us to know about the backroom deals with the harmony of texture coalition, the backroom deals with Paul Warley, the backroom deals with JC Cooper, the backroom deals with a center on policy initiatives, the backroom deals many made with their dead be.

3730
05:32:18,000 --> 05:32:24,000
And they don't want the public to know or have any say and how many so many multi million our sole first contract came to be.

3731
05:32:24,000 --> 05:32:35,000
Or how backcountry residents have been forced to bail out the city of San Diego time and time again. The floods aren't home and says everything is what they want us in the dark on using children as their shield.

3732
05:32:35,000 --> 05:32:40,000
The leader, many's meeting with monologues, Monica's TDS and their secret ad hoc solve nothing.

3733
05:32:40,000 --> 05:32:49,000
Again, I'm all of Joel Terran, Jim who got $200 from AT&T using our public special events trust funds to funnel money to their private campaigns.

3734
05:32:49,000 --> 05:32:55,000
Does everything anyone ever needs to know about this credit board and the war transparency. They do not relate, nor equate.

3735
05:32:55,000 --> 05:33:00,000
And Monica, I'm awaiting your sitting records to don't worry. We the people bring the real light.

3736
05:33:01,000 --> 05:33:05,000
What's here from the next caller?

3737
05:33:05,000 --> 05:33:17,000
Director here. I'm definitely for this. This is definitely the crux of democracy right here. You have to do it.

3738
05:33:17,000 --> 05:33:23,000
And also I've heard rumors that subcommittees have met already on the slut walk.

3739
05:33:23,000 --> 05:33:27,000
The floods we're going to have without telling anybody.

3740
05:33:27,000 --> 05:33:40,000
They weren't going to include the slut solver at the city council meetings on their way to national avenue to celebrate the parade over there and collect some food stamps for the constituency.

3741
05:33:40,000 --> 05:33:51,000
This is like this is, get the money off Gavin Newsom's wife. She's still all a fire money and then also Michelle Obama is a man.

3742
05:33:51,000 --> 05:33:53,000
That would be nice.

3743
05:33:58,000 --> 05:34:02,000
Well, here from the next caller.

3744
05:34:08,000 --> 05:34:13,000
Pam, yes on this with a protection of minors and delicate material.

3745
05:34:13,000 --> 05:34:20,000
Two things here where Tara, that means you won't vote so this item agenda will not pass.

3746
05:34:20,000 --> 05:34:29,000
And here's an interesting thing. Why is Hannah who purports to be over new Americans opposed transparency and accountability?

3747
05:34:29,000 --> 05:34:36,000
Maybe they need to be investigated.

3748
05:34:36,000 --> 05:34:41,000
Thank you.

3749
05:34:41,000 --> 05:34:46,000
Well, here from the next caller.

3750
05:34:50,000 --> 05:35:00,000
Hello, 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.

3751
05:35:00,000 --> 05:35:10,000
As a resident and mother of three young children, I often follow county decisions but effect public health, safety, housing, behavioral health and youth substance use prevention.

3752
05:35:10,000 --> 05:35:15,000
Many of these issues are first discussed in subcommittees before they ever come to the full board.

3753
05:35:15,000 --> 05:35:25,000
When those discussions happen outside of public view, it becomes difficult for residents to understand how decisions are being shaped or to provide meaningful input before recommendations are finalized.

3754
05:35:25,000 --> 05:35:33,000
County residents should not have to search for information or learn about important policy decisions after decisions have already been made.

3755
05:35:33,000 --> 05:35:44,000
Whether the topic is behavioral health, fiscal matters, AI, environmental issues, or any other county concerns, the public deserves an opportunity to stay informed and engage throughout the process.

3756
05:35:44,000 --> 05:35:48,000
Greater transparency leads to better decisions, so please support this item.

3757
05:35:48,000 --> 05:35:50,000
Thank you.

3758
05:35:50,000 --> 05:35:52,000
Thank you.

3759
05:35:52,000 --> 05:35:54,000
Excellent.

3760
05:36:00,000 --> 05:36:03,000
Blair Beekman.

3761
05:36:03,000 --> 05:36:05,000
Hi, this is Blair Beekman.

3762
05:36:05,000 --> 05:36:07,000
Thanks a lot for this item.

3763
05:36:08,000 --> 05:36:11,000
I am a big believer in check accountability.

3764
05:36:11,000 --> 05:36:17,000
It first came on in 2014 to address the concepts of continual war from 911.

3765
05:36:17,000 --> 05:36:25,000
I think we've kind of developed ourselves into patterns to working more in secrecy because of 911 and check accountability.

3766
05:36:25,000 --> 05:36:33,000
Really brought on ways we can open ourselves up and talk more openly and work towards open democracy and community again.

3767
05:36:33,000 --> 05:36:38,000
I'm a little gung-ho in this stuff, so to me it's great to hear this item.

3768
05:36:38,000 --> 05:36:43,000
I really learned important lessons today, but it requires sensitivity.

3769
05:37:03,000 --> 05:37:09,000
Give me a moment to reconnect here and we'll hear from the final five collars.

3770
05:37:33,000 --> 05:37:47,000
Would you hear from the next collars?

3771
05:37:47,000 --> 05:37:48,000
Good afternoon.

3772
05:37:48,000 --> 05:37:50,000
My name is Diane Grace.

3773
05:37:50,000 --> 05:38:03,000
Has the board letter indicates, quote, board meetings and advisory bodies operate under procedures intended to provide equitable access for county residents and the quote.

3774
05:38:03,000 --> 05:38:11,000
Establishing consistent requirements for board ad hoc committees would accomplish these same goals.

3775
05:38:11,000 --> 05:38:20,000
Otherwise those supervisors not attending or allowed to attend or invited to attend ad hoc meetings.

3776
05:38:20,000 --> 05:38:23,000
Do not know what's happening and that is scary.

3777
05:38:23,000 --> 05:38:26,000
This is the worst kind of secrecy.

3778
05:38:26,000 --> 05:38:39,000
The next step would be to open up these meetings to citizens who are harmed by and assisted by the happenings and discussion and information flow in this meetings.

3779
05:38:39,000 --> 05:38:44,000
This would be the height of respect for us residents.

3780
05:38:44,000 --> 05:38:50,000
And those of us in the back country communities could use a little respect and consideration.

3781
05:38:50,000 --> 05:38:51,000
Thank you.

3782
05:38:51,000 --> 05:39:02,000
Thank you for hearing from the next collars.

3783
05:39:02,000 --> 05:39:03,000
Good afternoon.

3784
05:39:03,000 --> 05:39:04,000
My name is David Geiger.

3785
05:39:04,000 --> 05:39:07,000
I'm a member of the Center of Parks and Canyon and District 2 and I support ID and 30.

3786
05:39:07,000 --> 05:39:14,000
At the veterinarian I don't have much insight into government but I serve my community planning group to learn and participate.

3787
05:39:14,000 --> 05:39:18,000
Supervisor Anderson for his efforts to increase public access and voicing their sports work.

3788
05:39:18,000 --> 05:39:22,000
Respect is record of advocating for our communities on a nonpartisan way.

3789
05:39:22,000 --> 05:39:27,000
And I support his efforts here to apply a default standard of transparency and disclosure amongst other committees.

3790
05:39:27,000 --> 05:39:29,240
I understand the concerned regarding public disclosure

3791
05:39:29,240 --> 05:39:31,280
and the context of the Duke and I'll just this up committee

3792
05:39:31,280 --> 05:39:33,080
who's worked, I pass an empty support.

3793
05:39:33,080 --> 05:39:35,360
I also see no conflict between this proposal

3794
05:39:35,360 --> 05:39:36,760
and the need for special protections

3795
05:39:36,760 --> 05:39:38,840
and confidentiality, which should be the exception

3796
05:39:38,840 --> 05:39:39,680
and not the rule.

3797
05:39:39,680 --> 05:39:41,920
This proposal allows for those exceptions.

3798
05:39:41,920 --> 05:39:44,400
Public trust and government, as that all-time woes,

3799
05:39:44,400 --> 05:39:46,600
government earns public trust by operating the open

3800
05:39:46,600 --> 05:39:47,880
whenever possible.

3801
05:39:47,880 --> 05:39:49,920
This board would serve both itself and the public

3802
05:39:49,920 --> 05:39:52,720
by needing to every opportunity for transparency.

3803
05:39:52,720 --> 05:39:54,400
The noblest motive is in public good.

3804
05:39:54,400 --> 05:39:55,240
Thank you all.

3805
05:39:56,240 --> 05:39:57,240
Thank you.

3806
05:39:57,240 --> 05:39:59,240
We'll hear from the next caller.

3807
05:40:07,240 --> 05:40:11,240
Maybe I just assumed you kicked me out yesterday, Monica.

3808
05:40:11,240 --> 05:40:13,240
Because you said you did.

3809
05:40:13,240 --> 05:40:16,240
Now, transparency, we all know

3810
05:40:16,240 --> 05:40:18,240
that three of them are not going to go ahead and go

3811
05:40:18,240 --> 05:40:20,240
for transparency because I already got a promise

3812
05:40:20,240 --> 05:40:23,240
from terror loss and limers that you're going to go and look

3813
05:40:23,240 --> 05:40:26,240
into my claims of organized fraud

3814
05:40:26,240 --> 05:40:28,240
through the same organizations

3815
05:40:28,240 --> 05:40:31,240
that she wants to create these ad hoc committees.

3816
05:40:31,240 --> 05:40:33,240
It much reminds me of the election

3817
05:40:33,240 --> 05:40:37,240
fraud that took place back in 1982

3818
05:40:37,240 --> 05:40:40,240
where over 100,000 ballots were stolen

3819
05:40:40,240 --> 05:40:42,240
basically by these committees.

3820
05:40:42,240 --> 05:40:45,240
Use in the red frustration process.

3821
05:40:45,240 --> 05:40:48,240
I'd definitely understand that the NGOs

3822
05:40:48,240 --> 05:40:50,240
are helping out the homeless people

3823
05:40:51,240 --> 05:40:53,240
withdrawing on, got the amount of money to the NGOs

3824
05:40:53,240 --> 05:40:54,240
for the homeless people.

3825
05:40:54,240 --> 05:40:59,240
So I am assuming because of 2015 we allowed

3826
05:40:59,240 --> 05:41:03,240
non-citizens to get driver's license.

3827
05:41:03,240 --> 05:41:05,240
They are stealing their vote.

3828
05:41:05,240 --> 05:41:06,240
They are voting for them.

3829
05:41:06,240 --> 05:41:10,240
They are going to keep these corrupt politicians in play.

3830
05:41:10,240 --> 05:41:12,240
I'm glad that.

3831
05:41:12,240 --> 05:41:15,240
You're well here from the next caller.

3832
05:41:21,240 --> 05:41:24,240
I'm Deborah Gonzalez.

3833
05:41:24,240 --> 05:41:26,240
I'm from the backcountry in Boulevard

3834
05:41:26,240 --> 05:41:34,240
and I'm completely in support of supervisor Anderson for 13.

3835
05:41:34,240 --> 05:41:38,240
Honestly, this would help our backcountry

3836
05:41:38,240 --> 05:41:41,240
have to be in more communication.

3837
05:41:41,240 --> 05:41:44,240
We lose out on a lot of information

3838
05:41:44,240 --> 05:41:48,240
and it hurts us significantly.

3839
05:41:49,240 --> 05:41:53,240
I think trust building is extremely important.

3840
05:41:53,240 --> 05:41:56,240
Right now we have a judge going on

3841
05:41:56,240 --> 05:41:59,240
where we don't particularly trust our local.

3842
05:41:59,240 --> 05:42:03,240
It's just to really speak on our behalf.

3843
05:42:03,240 --> 05:42:05,240
And as stepping forward,

3844
05:42:05,240 --> 05:42:10,240
I think passing this with help is all getting a lot more trust.

3845
05:42:10,240 --> 05:42:13,240
So I am completely in support of this.

3846
05:42:13,240 --> 05:42:15,240
I represent the backcountry community

3847
05:42:16,240 --> 05:42:18,240
Alliance for responsible development.

3848
05:42:18,240 --> 05:42:19,240
And thank you.

3849
05:42:19,240 --> 05:42:21,240
And whoever those crazy people were,

3850
05:42:21,240 --> 05:42:23,240
they were cursing and saying all those things.

3851
05:42:23,240 --> 05:42:25,240
This is my first time on here.

3852
05:42:25,240 --> 05:42:27,240
And as of one.

3853
05:42:27,240 --> 05:42:28,240
Thank you.

3854
05:42:28,240 --> 05:42:30,240
Well now, here from the final caller.

3855
05:42:36,240 --> 05:42:38,240
Hi, Natalie Rushty here.

3856
05:42:38,240 --> 05:42:44,240
I know that this failed once already at a Thai vote two weeks ago.

3857
05:42:44,240 --> 05:42:46,240
It asked that hop.

3858
05:42:46,240 --> 05:42:48,240
Subtimini's post-abendance and public records.

3859
05:42:48,240 --> 05:42:51,240
The same transparency regular board meetings already follow.

3860
05:42:51,240 --> 05:42:54,240
But I want to say something that the word professional

3861
05:42:54,240 --> 05:42:56,240
that's used to decide who's allowed to be heard.

3862
05:42:56,240 --> 05:42:59,240
And once I tried to be keen on mishevel and low pisses,

3863
05:42:59,240 --> 05:43:00,240
we have.

3864
05:43:00,240 --> 05:43:02,240
And was denied.

3865
05:43:02,240 --> 05:43:04,240
By the same professionals.

3866
05:43:04,240 --> 05:43:07,240
Um, debating that I wasn't professional.

3867
05:43:07,240 --> 05:43:10,240
Um, in most part of the depression.

3868
05:43:10,240 --> 05:43:14,240
It seems that transparency and the word professional

3869
05:43:14,240 --> 05:43:18,240
is language that's used to also filter out people

3870
05:43:18,240 --> 05:43:22,240
that are trusted by said people.

3871
05:43:22,240 --> 05:43:24,240
So when we use this language,

3872
05:43:24,240 --> 05:43:26,240
I don't know.

3873
05:43:26,240 --> 05:43:28,240
Transparency and professional.

3874
05:43:28,240 --> 05:43:30,240
I don't know if this is going to change anything.

3875
05:43:30,240 --> 05:43:31,240
Thank you.

3876
05:43:33,240 --> 05:43:34,240
Thank you.

3877
05:43:34,240 --> 05:43:35,240
And trail lesson room.

3878
05:43:35,240 --> 05:43:37,240
I think it was public comment on this item.

3879
05:43:37,240 --> 05:43:38,240
Okay.

3880
05:43:38,240 --> 05:43:40,240
Thank you very much.

3881
05:43:40,240 --> 05:43:42,240
Thank you supervisor Anderson.

3882
05:43:42,240 --> 05:43:46,240
I know that we've been discussing this for some months now.

3883
05:43:46,240 --> 05:43:56,240
You know from my earlier comments at board meetings on May the 19th and also on June 9th.

3884
05:43:56,240 --> 05:44:01,240
That I cannot support your proposed policy as it is currently drafted.

3885
05:44:01,240 --> 05:44:04,240
I know that you have an amendment and I'll get to that in a minute.

3886
05:44:04,240 --> 05:44:07,240
But I just want to go through a couple of things.

3887
05:44:07,240 --> 05:44:13,240
I think that you have said here today and that has come out on some of your communications.

3888
05:44:13,240 --> 05:44:19,240
At the juvenile justice ad hoc subcommittee meetings, it is very important that supervisor Gary and I

3889
05:44:19,240 --> 05:44:25,240
are able to provide a safe environment for parents to tell us what is happening to their children

3890
05:44:25,240 --> 05:44:28,240
who are detained in a vulnerable situation.

3891
05:44:28,240 --> 05:44:34,240
It is also very important that those with lived experience feel safe to come forward at these meetings

3892
05:44:34,240 --> 05:44:38,240
and tell us how we could improve our county systems and processes.

3893
05:44:38,240 --> 05:44:43,240
And I will also say I have spoken to people time after time who refuse to come to the county

3894
05:44:43,240 --> 05:44:46,240
because they feel bullied when they come in here.

3895
05:44:46,240 --> 05:44:53,240
Your proposed one-size-fits-all policy will not allow me to provide that kind of safe environment

3896
05:44:53,240 --> 05:44:57,240
and will not allow me to do the work that I have been elected to do.

3897
05:44:57,240 --> 05:45:00,240
Your proposed policy will result in uninteresting.

3898
05:45:00,000 --> 05:45:29,000
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.

3899
05:45:29,000 --> 05:45:34,000
The actual text of that government code has not been shared to let me share it now.

3900
05:45:34,000 --> 05:45:54,000
A member of the public shall not be required as a condition to attendance at a meeting of a legislative body or local agency 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.

3901
05:45:54,000 --> 05:46:22,000
If an attendance list register questionnaire or other similar document is posted at or near the entrance of the room where the meeting is to be held or circulated to the person's present during the meeting, it shall state clearly that the signing, registering or completion of the document is voluntary, and that all persons may attend the meeting, regardless of whether a person signs, registers or completes the document.

3902
05:46:22,000 --> 05:46:36,000
But as you can see, the plain text of the California government section that you referenced states that a member of the public shall not be required to register their name as a condition to attend the meeting of a legislative body of a local agency.

3903
05:46:36,000 --> 05:46:55,000
But your policy requiring all meetings to be streamed live, recorded and posted online, and public comments submitted to the subcommittee during meeting shall be recorded, maintained, and made available to the public online will still identify parents and other people who speak up at the meeting.

3904
05:46:55,000 --> 05:47:02,000
If you are I showed up at the meeting and we didn't sign in there would be enough people that would know who we are.

3905
05:47:02,000 --> 05:47:11,000
So in effect it's not solving for the problem that we have discussed here in these meetings, these three meetings or so.

3906
05:47:11,000 --> 05:47:26,000
This is precisely why on May 19th, I did vote for option four, we should give the board flexibility to tailor transparency requirements, and in case by case basis each time an ad hoc subcommittee is created.

3907
05:47:26,000 --> 05:47:35,000
At that time you said, it does nothing, I do disagree with that, but I understand why this is important, why you are bringing this forward.

3908
05:47:35,000 --> 05:47:50,000
So I still the language that you did present, I think that that still presents problems right for our parents to want to come and speak because technically they're not protected by the government code or the Brown Act.

3909
05:47:50,000 --> 05:48:19,000
Simply a way for them to feel safe, 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 of supervisors that it's ad hoc subcommittees will comply with the following requirements in order to promote additional transparency and public participation or alternatively require that the ad hoc subcommittee comply with the Brown Act.

3910
05:48:19,000 --> 05:48:29,000
The following requirements will not apply to ad hoc subcommittees that are established to address sensitive subjects, including those related to juveniles.

3911
05:48:29,000 --> 05:48:41,000
So that is my proposal before you said I know there's a motion in the second, but would ask it be friendly before I have to do substitute motion.

3912
05:48:41,000 --> 05:48:45,000
Okay, I do want to jump in.

3913
05:48:45,000 --> 05:48:49,000
Well you would be your name up next, so you already did.

3914
05:48:49,000 --> 05:48:52,000
All right, I appreciate that.

3915
05:48:52,000 --> 05:49:00,000
You did bring up option for so for the record option for was take no action and do not establish a policy at this time.

3916
05:49:00,000 --> 05:49:08,000
Determine transparency requirements on case by case basis, each time in an ad hoc committee subcommittee is created.

3917
05:49:08,000 --> 05:49:13,000
So I get it, but that's do nothing, that was the current, it was no change.

3918
05:49:13,000 --> 05:49:28,000
So in as far as the parents, I get the parents, but the point I brought before was you've had experts come in and there's no place to see what experts say.

3919
05:49:28,000 --> 05:49:37,000
So while we want to protect kids and perhaps we want to protect parents, why would we protect any of the organizations that I had stated.

3920
05:49:37,000 --> 05:49:46,000
Now I even know if they've come spoke other than probation because you said in the last mean probation spoke.

3921
05:49:46,000 --> 05:49:55,000
What is it that probation saying that the public can't have access to and why are they shy to say something public when it comes to policy.

3922
05:49:55,000 --> 05:50:03,000
See the issue I have as well, we have one group that's an excuse for everyone.

3923
05:50:03,000 --> 05:50:19,000
It shouldn't be an excuse. Look, you know, I know that we both agree that the only people that like to govern in secrecy or dictators and royalty, but I believe that there has to be a policy that you and I can agree on.

3924
05:50:19,000 --> 05:50:31,000
And I want you to help in it that isn't quite long that once I say this is juvenile nobody asked to accommodate anything that's crazy.

3925
05:50:31,000 --> 05:50:48,000
Having minutes coming back and saying this is the subject matter and then if there's any expertise given or county staff stuff that should be public people should have access to it.

3926
05:50:48,000 --> 05:50:56,000
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.

3927
05:50:56,000 --> 05:51:06,000
They didn't identify themselves and they weren't on camera and in a couple of instances they actually disguise the voice because they're high profile.

3928
05:51:06,000 --> 05:51:11,000
So I get that and I'm willing to do all those things.

3929
05:51:11,000 --> 05:51:18,000
You know, should that that's a cart block for everything to be in secret that makes no sense to me.

3930
05:51:18,000 --> 05:51:27,000
I'm okay. Can I just want to say I appreciate that everyone seems very committed to transparency.

3931
05:51:27,000 --> 05:51:38,000
I think that's really valuable and I know I have been gone for four weeks and I missed that a lot of the debate that you're talking about.

3932
05:51:38,000 --> 05:51:55,000
I think part of my concern is that it sometimes a one-size-fits-all solution means that it's both over-inclusive and under-inclusive and doesn't necessarily adequately address the core of any particular challenge.

3933
05:51:55,000 --> 05:52:00,000
I'd love to hear from Supervisor Gary, but I am deeply concerned about the issues of vice chair raises.

3934
05:52:00,000 --> 05:52:11,000
I wonder if there would be a path just putting it out there to ask our vice chair and Supervisor Anderson to form a subcommittee on a transparency subcommittee.

3935
05:52:11,000 --> 05:52:15,000
And you too can come up with a recommendation.

3936
05:52:15,000 --> 05:52:31,000
Just for again, I think that this this language is helpful. It includes everything you brought for these last two times and asked this sentence to it.

3937
05:52:31,000 --> 05:52:40,000
And so I am I'm trying to get there with you in your words as well. I'm trying to get there. I think that this is this is sufficient.

3938
05:52:40,000 --> 05:52:54,000
And I would hope that you would change your motion to include it. If not, I will do a substitute motion because this is it's what you brought forward the last three times.

3939
05:52:54,000 --> 05:53:12,000
But it includes this this additional language around sensitive subjects including those related to juveniles. What you brought forward previously does not cover the population that I want to try to cover and any other thing that that may come up.

3940
05:53:12,000 --> 05:53:27,000
I have a plum was up, but if I could just go ahead. So the issue I have is your the language you proposed is I'm reading it or seeing it hearing it.

3941
05:53:27,000 --> 05:53:46,000
It allows cover not to have to say the entire committee can be silent. No where does it provide that when chief of probation comes and speaks or any other expert comes and speaks that their testimony has to be available.

3942
05:53:46,000 --> 05:54:01,000
It just says hey which kind of long. So can we narrow it so that it is now I want to point out two quick things I think there are three or four board items today they were asking for exceptions to the rules.

3943
05:54:01,000 --> 05:54:16,000
When you propose the committee in the beginning you can always make the case. This is special and we want a special rule for the subcommittee at that time because I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do every committee you bring forward moving forward.

3944
05:54:16,000 --> 05:54:32,000
I'm going to insist on the transparency you're denying me today. So instead of fighting each and every time most committees should be 100% transparent no matter what this is an exception to the rule not the rule.

3945
05:54:32,000 --> 05:54:43,000
But still even after the last board meeting there's no do we have minutes do we have any kind of for the juvenile justice where is all that stuff where is it located.

3946
05:54:43,000 --> 05:55:09,000
What I wanted to get to thank you very much and I failed to mention this last time but just for the record every single meeting the juvenile justice at Hawk committee has had has produced minutes that have been distributed to all of your offices. So there is transparency in that regard now I think that I'm also open and wanting to get to yes.

3947
05:55:09,000 --> 05:55:28,000
I've heard you mention at least five times chief Nelson and in a make sense right if she here she is in this case she's a county employee I mean there's nothing out of the ordinary that she presented it was very factual.

3948
05:55:28,000 --> 05:55:48,000
Perhaps we can arrive to yes and make an exception for or include a written statement for the record if there were a county staff participating in the subcommittee something like that if that's helpful I think that that could be a possibility.

3949
05:55:48,000 --> 05:56:06,000
I I really appreciate it and I appreciate the spirit what you're doing it the what my thought is is if it has to do with a parent or a child's testimony absolutely everyone else.

3950
05:56:06,000 --> 05:56:17,000
And it for the record all the discussions that we've had in these in the sessions have been recorded and there's been in minutes produced that have been.

3951
05:56:17,000 --> 05:56:21,000
Are there any website or any place of the public to go.

3952
05:56:21,000 --> 05:56:24,000
I don't think so.

3953
05:56:25,000 --> 05:56:44,000
That's my point well because it's not the same as your right subcommittee it's not the same as the other committee that I mean it's a very unique case this particular sensitive topics and matters that we're discussing in this particular one is going to be different we're not just going to you know.

3954
05:56:44,000 --> 05:57:01,000
What up video of testimony of children under the age of 18 or can we can we can we pause that's I just I want to I want to I want to I want to keep order I appreciate the free flowing conversation to try to reach some kind of agreement but the vice chair has her hand up so.

3955
05:57:01,000 --> 05:57:06,000
I I would I would it sounds like that.

3956
05:57:06,000 --> 05:57:09,000
You're not amenable to this.

3957
05:57:09,000 --> 05:57:20,000
I'm not in the current form because it doesn't it gives you cart block I need I want to hear what the experts have to say I want I think the public deserves to know what the experts are saying.

3958
05:57:20,000 --> 05:57:36,000
We do we do that sorry we do that and there's this there's been so much misinformation I'm not going to go through everything really I'm not because off you know the people that have spoken some of the people that speak doesn't matter what we do up here.

3959
05:57:36,000 --> 05:57:44,000
They have preconceived notions about who we are we've been called slets we've been referred to as queen in a way that.

3960
05:57:44,000 --> 05:58:05,000
Is really derogatory reminds me of back in the 90s when they were trying to say welfare queen and all that so you know it is that is what it is I don't really care it is what it is I think that because this is the the policy and the language that you brought forward and it adds one sentence I would like to do a substitute motion.

3961
05:58:05,000 --> 05:58:08,000
Okay, we have a substitute motion.

3962
05:58:08,000 --> 05:58:20,000
Okay, so I just to kind of clarify we were at procedurally we have a motion on the floor by super doesment I mean super does not understand to get by super doesment but then there's a substitute motion by super is a.

3963
05:58:20,000 --> 05:58:28,000
On going step substitute seconded by super is a Gary so we have to vote first on the substitute motion if that passes then.

3964
05:58:28,000 --> 05:58:38,000
This item passes in the form proposed by by the vice chair of that substitute motion fails we go on to continue.

3965
05:58:38,000 --> 05:58:40,000
Consider.

3966
05:58:40,000 --> 05:58:43,000
Super's interesting initial motion so.

3967
05:58:43,000 --> 05:58:50,000
Again, we'll first take a vote on and to approve to clear to just be clear a vote to approve.

3968
05:58:50,000 --> 05:58:57,000
The item continued from January 9th adopted policy to require transparency and accountability for all sport of supervisors and ad hoc subcommittees.

3969
05:58:57,000 --> 05:59:03,000
As amended with the language currently on the screen from vice chair Montgomery step.

3970
05:59:03,000 --> 05:59:05,000
Any questions.

3971
05:59:05,000 --> 05:59:06,000
Okay.

3972
05:59:06,000 --> 05:59:08,000
Please vote.

3973
05:59:08,000 --> 05:59:09,000
No, no.

3974
05:59:09,000 --> 05:59:10,000
I have my.

3975
05:59:10,000 --> 05:59:11,000
Jim here says.

3976
05:59:11,000 --> 05:59:12,000
I think.

3977
05:59:12,000 --> 05:59:14,000
I said any question I didn't see that.

3978
05:59:14,000 --> 05:59:15,000
Sorry, go ahead.

3979
05:59:15,000 --> 05:59:16,000
Super doesment.

3980
05:59:16,000 --> 05:59:17,000
Okay, yeah.

3981
05:59:17,000 --> 05:59:20,000
So I guess I'm a little bit hung up on.

3982
05:59:21,000 --> 05:59:25,000
I think the step that substitute motion is a step in the right direction.

3983
05:59:25,000 --> 05:59:30,000
It's maybe not fulfilling is as as as supervisor and once but I'm looking at.

3984
05:59:30,000 --> 05:59:35,000
I guess I'm a little squishy on sensitive subjects.

3985
05:59:35,000 --> 05:59:43,000
So without a definition, I don't know is is finance committee is sensitive subjects is.

3986
05:59:43,000 --> 05:59:49,000
Are they a personal subjects or and this I just want.

3987
05:59:49,000 --> 05:59:52,000
I'm going to turn the floor to those are questions.

3988
05:59:52,000 --> 05:59:53,000
I think for the maker of the motion.

3989
05:59:53,000 --> 05:59:56,000
So I'll turn that to to the vice chair.

3990
05:59:56,000 --> 05:59:59,000
I'll just generally for finance.

3991
05:59:59,000 --> 06:00:00,000
No.

3992
06:00:00,000 --> 06:00:01,000
Okay.

3993
06:00:00,000 --> 06:00:29,000
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 didn't understand it. If I had made rules for an ad hoc subcommittee prior to that, I would not have considered that, because I didn't understand it.

3994
06:00:29,000 --> 06:00:40,000
So all I'm trying to do is leave us a room to move appropriately without holding up a process, so we can make decisions in a timely manner. That's it.

3995
06:00:40,000 --> 06:00:44,000
I'd be, I'm still asking questions.

3996
06:00:44,000 --> 06:00:52,000
Would you be a member to address personal sensitive subjects that would narrow it a little bit?

3997
06:00:52,000 --> 06:00:59,000
I don't, that is even more subjective, I think.

3998
06:00:59,000 --> 06:01:05,000
And so I wouldn't want to include that.

3999
06:01:05,000 --> 06:01:09,000
Yeah, that's narrowing it to me, but okay.

4000
06:01:09,000 --> 06:01:21,000
Thank you. I'm going to support this, because it's a step in the right direction, but I think it's way too broad.

4001
06:01:21,000 --> 06:01:32,000
And I hope that at every meeting, you give us an update on the subcommittee, because not hearing what experts say.

4002
06:01:32,000 --> 06:01:45,000
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.

4003
06:01:45,000 --> 06:01:51,000
And I should know, the public should know, and this doesn't provide for that.

4004
06:01:51,000 --> 06:01:59,000
However, this is a baby step in the right direction, and I'm always for the right direction.

4005
06:01:59,000 --> 06:02:00,000
Okay.

4006
06:02:00,000 --> 06:02:02,000
But that's not a second.

4007
06:02:02,000 --> 06:02:07,000
Don't worry, you already have a second from Chair Pertem and Gary.

4008
06:02:07,000 --> 06:02:09,000
So thank you, Supervisor Anderson.

4009
06:02:09,000 --> 06:02:15,000
Does anyone else have any comments before we vote on the vice chair of substitute motion?

4010
06:02:15,000 --> 06:02:20,000
Okay. Please vote.

4011
06:02:20,000 --> 06:02:25,000
Chair Larson, remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present and voting aye.

4012
06:02:25,000 --> 06:02:28,000
Okay. Thank you very much.

4013
06:02:28,000 --> 06:02:31,000
So now we are moving on.

4014
06:02:31,000 --> 06:02:34,000
We're actually going to jump to item 15, and then go back to item 14.

4015
06:02:34,000 --> 06:02:44,000
So item 15, this is an item that I brought forward, which is designated in the waterfront park as the permanent home for the San Diego Regional Firefighter Memorial.

4016
06:02:44,000 --> 06:02:47,000
And we aboard policy A72.

4017
06:02:47,000 --> 06:02:51,000
If we have any public comment, we will start with that.

4018
06:02:51,000 --> 06:02:52,000
Go ahead, Andrew.

4019
06:02:52,000 --> 06:02:53,000
All right.

4020
06:02:53,000 --> 06:02:54,000
Thank you, Chair Larson.

4021
06:02:55,000 --> 06:02:57,000
We have nine requests to speak on this item.

4022
06:02:57,000 --> 06:03:00,000
Two in person and seven requesting to speak by phone.

4023
06:03:00,000 --> 06:03:02,000
Also note that we received two comments.

4024
06:03:02,000 --> 06:03:04,000
One in support and one neutral.

4025
06:03:04,000 --> 06:03:07,000
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 15, my phone.

4026
06:03:07,000 --> 06:03:10,000
Please dial in at the conference line using the instructions that were provided to you.

4027
06:03:10,000 --> 06:03:12,000
We'll begin with the in person speakers.

4028
06:03:12,000 --> 06:03:15,000
Like to invite four to ledge of the Audra and Marco Espinoza.

4029
06:03:15,000 --> 06:03:18,000
You'll have two minutes to address the board.

4030
06:03:19,000 --> 06:03:23,000
No, we're doing it.

4031
06:03:23,000 --> 06:03:26,000
We're coming back.

4032
06:03:26,000 --> 06:03:28,000
It's last.

4033
06:03:28,000 --> 06:03:29,000
How rude.

4034
06:03:29,000 --> 06:03:32,000
This is that you were cutting into my time.

4035
06:03:32,000 --> 06:03:34,000
You know what I mean, you guys don't like it, right?

4036
06:03:34,000 --> 06:03:37,000
I mean, just to be clear, your time didn't start till you started speaking.

4037
06:03:37,000 --> 06:03:38,000
I know, Tara.

4038
06:03:38,000 --> 06:03:39,000
Thank you.

4039
06:03:39,000 --> 06:03:43,000
Just giving you guys shit because that's the whole point.

4040
06:03:43,000 --> 06:03:47,000
And Jim and Joel, why do you guys keep giving your balls to you?

4041
06:03:47,000 --> 06:03:49,000
You've given your balls to these Jezebelts.

4042
06:03:49,000 --> 06:03:50,000
I don't understand.

4043
06:03:50,000 --> 06:03:55,000
Nobody has a backbone to just stand up and say, no.

4044
06:03:55,000 --> 06:03:57,000
You just cave.

4045
06:03:57,000 --> 06:04:00,000
And it's interesting that we have two minutes to talk about this.

4046
06:04:00,000 --> 06:04:02,000
I'm sure I'll have two minutes to talk about the next item.

4047
06:04:02,000 --> 06:04:05,000
And then when we're talking about 9.1 billion dollars,

4048
06:04:05,000 --> 06:04:07,000
it's like we're going to limit that for sure,

4049
06:04:07,000 --> 06:04:10,000
so that you have to talk about six different things

4050
06:04:10,000 --> 06:04:12,000
and you get 10 seconds each.

4051
06:04:12,000 --> 06:04:13,000
So nice.

4052
06:04:13,000 --> 06:04:15,000
So transparent, so countable.

4053
06:04:15,000 --> 06:04:19,000
And it's like, I mean, you guys virtue signal

4054
06:04:19,000 --> 06:04:24,000
with these type of items, as though you just do all these great things.

4055
06:04:24,000 --> 06:04:27,000
But you guys talking about hiding what's going on,

4056
06:04:27,000 --> 06:04:30,000
what children is extremely egregious.

4057
06:04:30,000 --> 06:04:33,000
Because you sit here and you're using them.

4058
06:04:33,000 --> 06:04:34,000
You're going to fill me.

4059
06:04:34,000 --> 06:04:35,000
Go ahead.

4060
06:04:35,000 --> 06:04:36,000
And you can put it on your social media.

4061
06:04:36,000 --> 06:04:39,000
I don't really care because I'm doing the same to you.

4062
06:04:39,000 --> 06:04:42,000
So what it is about transparency and accountability,

4063
06:04:42,000 --> 06:04:44,000
but you're using children.

4064
06:04:44,000 --> 06:04:46,000
And that's what's so nefarious.

4065
06:04:46,000 --> 06:04:48,000
Because it should be transparent.

4066
06:04:48,000 --> 06:04:49,000
What happens?

4067
06:04:49,000 --> 06:04:51,000
The things that you guys do.

4068
06:04:51,000 --> 06:04:53,000
And when it is, you silence it.

4069
06:04:53,000 --> 06:04:55,000
And that is what is so disgusting.

4070
06:04:55,000 --> 06:04:57,000
You will have parents come in here.

4071
06:04:57,000 --> 06:04:59,000
And ask you for help.

4072
06:04:59,000 --> 06:05:02,000
And you'll tell them that you will, Monica, right?

4073
06:05:02,000 --> 06:05:04,000
And then you just say, listen to the agency

4074
06:05:04,000 --> 06:05:08,000
where the agency then says your children are adoptable.

4075
06:05:08,000 --> 06:05:11,000
Of course you don't want people to know that.

4076
06:05:12,000 --> 06:05:15,000
Because it is detrimental to children.

4077
06:05:15,000 --> 06:05:17,000
The things that you guys engage in.

4078
06:05:17,000 --> 06:05:19,000
It's a fucking shame.

4079
06:05:19,000 --> 06:05:21,000
And then you sit up here and you're like,

4080
06:05:21,000 --> 06:05:25,000
don't hurt my feelings with calling us a slut.

4081
06:05:25,000 --> 06:05:26,000
God forbid.

4082
06:05:26,000 --> 06:05:27,000
You guys are up there.

4083
06:05:27,000 --> 06:05:28,000
That's why you got in that position.

4084
06:05:28,000 --> 06:05:30,000
If you don't have the backbone to deal with it,

4085
06:05:30,000 --> 06:05:32,000
then there's the fucking door.

4086
06:05:36,000 --> 06:05:39,000
I don't call for Mark Ospenosa.

4087
06:05:40,000 --> 06:05:42,000
Well, now here from the individuals that requested to speak

4088
06:05:42,000 --> 06:05:43,000
by phone.

4089
06:05:43,000 --> 06:05:44,000
Start with their first caller.

4090
06:05:52,000 --> 06:05:53,000
Okay.

4091
06:05:53,000 --> 06:05:55,000
Call the bell.

4092
06:05:55,000 --> 06:05:56,000
Um.

4093
06:05:56,000 --> 06:05:57,000
All right.

4094
06:05:57,000 --> 06:05:58,000
I was.

4095
06:05:58,000 --> 06:05:59,000
I have to change.

4096
06:05:59,000 --> 06:06:04,000
Anyway,

4097
06:06:04,000 --> 06:06:06,000
she made that there.

4098
06:06:06,000 --> 06:06:11,000
That since her brave firefighters spend a lot of time putting

4099
06:06:11,000 --> 06:06:14,000
out the big fires in East County.

4100
06:06:14,000 --> 06:06:19,000
The memorial should be at the more Easterly site.

4101
06:06:19,000 --> 06:06:20,000
Um.

4102
06:06:20,000 --> 06:06:22,000
So, you know,

4103
06:06:22,000 --> 06:06:26,000
some of the people who actually suffered damage.

4104
06:06:26,000 --> 06:06:28,000
There's a.

4105
06:06:28,000 --> 06:06:32,000
Uh, maybe even there should be two memorials.

4106
06:06:32,000 --> 06:06:37,000
Maybe one that waterfront park and one in East County.

4107
06:06:37,000 --> 06:06:40,000
Or arch is over the freeway.

4108
06:06:40,000 --> 06:06:42,000
Maybe instead of a.

4109
06:06:42,000 --> 06:06:47,000
Uh, tiny green sign naming it for a phone and firefighter that.

4110
06:06:47,000 --> 06:06:52,000
No one sees one testing about 60 miles an hour.

4111
06:06:52,000 --> 06:06:57,000
Another advantage of a more Easterly site is that it would live.

4112
06:06:57,000 --> 06:07:00,000
Leave more space for kids play.

4113
06:07:00,000 --> 06:07:05,000
Pick nicks or gatherings at the waterfront park itself,

4114
06:07:05,000 --> 06:07:07,000
which is what it's there for.

4115
06:07:07,000 --> 06:07:11,000
Oh, I'd probably send a mention to kids.

4116
06:07:11,000 --> 06:07:18,000
They're kind of out of pictures from what I hear about what the board does.

4117
06:07:18,000 --> 06:07:19,000
You know,

4118
06:07:19,000 --> 06:07:21,000
tearing her family.

4119
06:07:21,000 --> 06:07:23,000
Um,

4120
06:07:23,000 --> 06:07:25,000
adopting them on a.

4121
06:07:26,000 --> 06:07:28,000
I mean,

4122
06:07:28,000 --> 06:07:31,000
you don't treat them right anyway.

4123
06:07:31,000 --> 06:07:33,000
Um, so.

4124
06:07:33,000 --> 06:07:36,000
Uh, yeah.

4125
06:07:36,000 --> 06:07:37,000
So, um.

4126
06:07:37,000 --> 06:07:38,000
Yeah.

4127
06:07:38,000 --> 06:07:43,000
I think waterfront park by itself is not the best place.

4128
06:07:43,000 --> 06:07:45,000
I'm a memorial.

4129
06:07:45,000 --> 06:07:46,000
Thanks.

4130
06:07:46,000 --> 06:07:49,000
Can you take it off speaker's over?

4131
06:07:49,000 --> 06:07:59,000
You're going up for a memorial going up for firefighters.

4132
06:07:59,000 --> 06:08:04,000
Um, but just based on.

4133
06:08:04,000 --> 06:08:05,000
Uh,

4134
06:08:05,000 --> 06:08:08,000
I'm going to take it off speaker's over.

4135
06:08:08,000 --> 06:08:09,000
You're going to call her.

4136
06:08:09,000 --> 06:08:10,000
Okay.

4137
06:08:10,000 --> 06:08:11,000
Okay.

4138
06:08:11,000 --> 06:08:12,000
Okay.

4139
06:08:12,000 --> 06:08:13,000
Okay.

4140
06:08:13,000 --> 06:08:14,000
Okay.

4141
06:08:14,000 --> 06:08:15,000
Okay.

4142
06:08:15,000 --> 06:08:16,000
Okay.

4143
06:08:16,000 --> 06:08:17,000
Okay.

4144
06:08:17,000 --> 06:08:18,000
Okay.

4145
06:08:19,000 --> 06:08:21,000
I'm just going to cost.

4146
06:08:21,000 --> 06:08:28,000
And I mean, wouldn't it be awesome if it was like in lieu of just a memorial just honoring

4147
06:08:28,000 --> 06:08:36,000
their families who were left behind and giving them the money that it's going to take to install this?

4148
06:08:36,000 --> 06:08:39,000
I mean, I don't even know where the money's coming from.

4149
06:08:39,000 --> 06:08:43,000
But I mean, what am I saying, comes from us.

4150
06:08:43,000 --> 06:08:54,520
Also, yeah, I believe that, you know, these meetings are becoming just, it's just more and

4151
06:08:54,520 --> 06:09:04,440
more apparent that your jobs up there are about keeping the people divided and you are doing

4152
06:09:04,440 --> 06:09:05,440
so awesome at it.

4153
06:09:05,440 --> 06:09:11,760
And I just, you know, I, I, not that I like to stay tuned, but I have to be paying attention

4154
06:09:11,760 --> 06:09:12,760
that way.

4155
06:09:12,760 --> 06:09:18,280
There's no, the truth of what's really going on and, and you guys just get so upset about

4156
06:09:18,280 --> 06:09:24,720
your, your character being a slander, I mean, you, you create, I mean, honestly, you don't

4157
06:09:24,720 --> 06:09:28,560
like to be called queens, Monica, then don't behave like one.

4158
06:09:28,560 --> 06:09:32,520
It's truly that simple, but you guys don't like to be called out.

4159
06:09:32,520 --> 06:09:37,600
And that's what's so, that is what's so rules for me, not for me.

4160
06:09:37,600 --> 06:09:42,800
And hold on to that freedom of speech, Osirah, because you are, you're amazing girl.

4161
06:09:42,800 --> 06:09:44,800
Love you so much.

4162
06:09:44,800 --> 06:09:45,800
Done.

4163
06:09:45,800 --> 06:09:47,800
Thank you.

4164
06:09:47,800 --> 06:09:50,800
Here from the next caller.

4165
06:09:50,800 --> 06:10:01,320
Hey, it's truth, ready to take a break with two minutes, you know, it's almost like a break

4166
06:10:01,320 --> 06:10:05,400
out to speak for 60 seconds over and over and over again, but you guys would know about that,

4167
06:10:05,400 --> 06:10:06,400
right?

4168
06:10:06,400 --> 06:10:07,400
Cool.

4169
06:10:07,400 --> 06:10:10,480
I just want to refuel, I can't put them when it comes to the budget 60 seconds, something

4170
06:10:10,480 --> 06:10:12,200
actually important.

4171
06:10:12,200 --> 06:10:17,920
And I think it's a bigger picture this item, it's a much bigger picture than just a memorial,

4172
06:10:17,920 --> 06:10:23,080
because when you have a, that word, sensitive subject, I'm sensitive about this subject.

4173
06:10:23,080 --> 06:10:27,480
Let's sense it, though, then want to be Queen Monica, is about being stuck in the 90s.

4174
06:10:27,480 --> 06:10:31,920
2026, Monica, we demand transparency and these agenda items.

4175
06:10:31,920 --> 06:10:35,520
It is weird that this item was shoved into consent.

4176
06:10:36,040 --> 06:10:38,880
It's also corrupt, but I know why this was pulled.

4177
06:10:38,880 --> 06:10:42,600
It's not the brain transparency, don't never transparency.

4178
06:10:42,600 --> 06:10:48,720
We know it because many hate America, hate law enforcement, hate first responders, and hate

4179
06:10:48,720 --> 06:10:52,040
anyone that brings good to the world, like firefighters do.

4180
06:10:52,040 --> 06:10:56,920
She's going to come up with any and every excuse on the book not to support this memorial, because

4181
06:10:56,920 --> 06:11:02,520
as much as she pretends to be someone who's struggle, nope, she's not to home.

4182
06:11:02,520 --> 06:11:04,720
That being said, it is a little weird.

4183
06:11:04,720 --> 06:11:09,040
It's to use water as a symbol of firefighters, especially down town where firefighters are

4184
06:11:09,040 --> 06:11:13,760
not primarily fighting fires, like they are in the backcountry, no thanks to the professional

4185
06:11:13,760 --> 06:11:19,480
arsonist, like the one that we just caught in Spring Valley, and like you guys do nothing about,

4186
06:11:19,480 --> 06:11:23,720
and I'm not against the memorial for firefighters, but I am against the lack of transparency

4187
06:11:23,720 --> 06:11:29,440
community to consent, because again, where was the transparency on a, who's designing this?

4188
06:11:29,440 --> 06:11:30,520
How much money does it cost?

4189
06:11:30,520 --> 06:11:31,800
What is the design?

4190
06:11:31,880 --> 06:11:36,360
I didn't get to say, and I don't remember having hearing anything about this until was put into

4191
06:11:36,360 --> 06:11:37,360
consent.

4192
06:11:37,360 --> 06:11:43,360
Plus, no heroes work anywhere near this building, so it should be in the backcountry.

4193
06:11:43,360 --> 06:11:48,200
For example, everybody saw a man he's taking pictures outside with their communist allies earlier

4194
06:11:48,200 --> 06:11:53,360
adding up to my future viral posts, and I'm thinking of which moniker, you still make speakers?

4195
06:11:53,360 --> 06:11:54,880
Was that Sarah?

4196
06:11:54,880 --> 06:11:57,040
You people need mental help, I don't just say that.

4197
06:11:57,040 --> 06:11:58,760
You prove it every single meeting.

4198
06:11:58,760 --> 06:11:59,760
Thank you.

4199
06:12:00,040 --> 06:12:01,440
You're here for the next call, I think.

4200
06:12:08,320 --> 06:12:16,360
Tam, at first, this does appear at such a, driven one, good idea, but I don't think it's that simple.

4201
06:12:16,360 --> 06:12:18,280
But I'll keep it that simple.

4202
06:12:18,280 --> 06:12:23,800
There should be the memorial here, and it should complement the law enforcement memorial that's out front.

4203
06:12:23,800 --> 06:12:29,400
Not really in the backcountry, I mean there's monuments all over this country that we don't

4204
06:12:29,400 --> 06:12:32,480
all feed because it don't live near them.

4205
06:12:32,480 --> 06:12:36,760
And the reason we should have a memorial is the women on this board have pushed the leftist

4206
06:12:36,760 --> 06:12:43,800
Marxist agenda of darkness and death, resulting in societal chaos, subhuman behavior, and poorly

4207
06:12:43,800 --> 06:12:50,800
managed environmental condition, conditions, pushing first responders to now face more danger

4208
06:12:50,800 --> 06:12:54,800
and horrific danger against themselves than ever before.

4209
06:12:54,800 --> 06:12:59,760
First responders of fire, law enforcement must always be respected, recognize and

4210
06:12:59,760 --> 06:13:03,560
on for their self-sacrifice, and the sacrifice of their family.

4211
06:13:03,560 --> 06:13:11,120
So I'm okay with this, if it maintains the simplicity of how it presents in writing, and it doesn't

4212
06:13:11,120 --> 06:13:18,520
cost an arm and a leg or add to the budget, and it should complement the law enforcement memorial.

4213
06:13:18,520 --> 06:13:24,320
But you guys, man, you know, put our first responders into a horrific danger with your

4214
06:13:24,320 --> 06:13:31,320
policies, your ideology, and your, oh, what used to be evil is now good in mentality.

4215
06:13:31,320 --> 06:13:32,320
Shame on you.

4216
06:13:32,320 --> 06:13:33,320
Thank you.

4217
06:13:33,320 --> 06:13:47,320
We'll hear from the next caller.

4218
06:13:47,320 --> 06:13:54,280
You know, I want to go in and apologize to all of you because I've went about the wrong way.

4219
06:13:54,280 --> 06:14:02,840
I should have just flat out after you, from the get go, how you go ahead and weed out non-citizens

4220
06:14:02,840 --> 06:14:05,160
from the motorals.

4221
06:14:05,160 --> 06:14:11,600
I should have reminded you right away that in 2015 we changed the rules and our previous checks

4222
06:14:11,600 --> 06:14:12,600
no longer work.

4223
06:14:12,600 --> 06:14:21,280
So basically, since 2015 until today, we have not weeded out one non-citizen except for self-reporting.

4224
06:14:21,280 --> 06:14:23,160
That's on record.

4225
06:14:23,160 --> 06:14:24,160
You guys have it.

4226
06:14:24,160 --> 06:14:25,160
You guys know that.

4227
06:14:25,160 --> 06:14:29,760
I've been waiting for you to go ahead and give me a non-repaunt so that you could go ahead and

4228
06:14:29,760 --> 06:14:31,560
do the check.

4229
06:14:31,560 --> 06:14:35,400
You're obligated under the NBRA sub-section A.

4230
06:14:35,400 --> 06:14:40,120
I highly recommend using the saybacks and go ahead and butt up the nays.

4231
06:14:40,120 --> 06:14:47,200
Do it now before they use certified election or after and then we could go ahead and play a guessing

4232
06:14:47,200 --> 06:14:48,200
game.

4233
06:14:48,200 --> 06:14:55,280
Well, enough, non-citizens voting in our left election that changed every single revolt

4234
06:14:55,280 --> 06:14:57,800
and I bet you the answer of yes.

4235
06:14:57,800 --> 06:14:59,960
I bet you they came from all the brands.

4236
06:15:00,000 --> 06:15:05,120
You look down to find out where that frog came, they're coming from those locations. If you're

4237
06:15:05,120 --> 06:15:10,640
duty to go in a look, it's not my duty to find it for you. You're not supposed to go ahead

4238
06:15:10,640 --> 06:15:15,760
and try to stop me from asking questions and you're supposed to answer this. Throwing me

4239
06:15:15,760 --> 06:15:21,520
in jail and trying to go ahead and get me arrested because I'm a dick after six years. Yeah,

4240
06:15:21,520 --> 06:15:27,040
no, that's on you. You should have answered the first time I'd asked, or the second, first

4241
06:15:27,040 --> 06:15:33,200
year, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year, six years. How many years are you not going

4242
06:15:33,200 --> 06:15:39,280
to answer my question? Are you going to go ahead and try to throw me in jail first? Is that

4243
06:15:39,280 --> 06:15:46,960
your mind of go? So, Danyan, I understand that you defeated Trump and then we are gay. You were here

4244
06:15:46,960 --> 06:16:01,920
from the final caller. Where beefmen? Hi. Thank you for your work on the previous item.

4245
06:16:01,920 --> 06:16:08,080
agenda item. Everybody tried to figure stuff out and you're going to continue as a work and progress.

4246
06:16:08,080 --> 06:16:13,840
Thank you. It's a learning process for me too and I'm really interested how this item will progress.

4247
06:16:13,840 --> 06:16:18,480
Thank you. Previous item. What do you guess for this item? I wanted to quickly offer

4248
06:16:20,000 --> 06:16:27,280
it sounds like a very noble project what you're doing. What sort of technology accountability

4249
06:16:27,280 --> 06:16:33,440
would be a part of the future of this park? I just thought I would ask that. In the city of San Diego,

4250
06:16:34,480 --> 06:16:39,760
I feel we're having difficulties in being more clear about what exactly we were placing in the future of

4251
06:16:39,760 --> 06:16:45,200
our parks. And I feel it has to be a conversation that has to be open and regular.

4252
06:16:46,400 --> 06:16:51,600
To quickly note the city of Oakland and it's County of Alameda. I have figured out ways to leave

4253
06:16:51,600 --> 06:16:59,440
block and look for a new AR vendor by inviting a full community process in the next 18 months to decide

4254
06:16:59,440 --> 06:17:05,600
what can be a future AR vendor? That's community in action. That's looking good democracy towards

4255
06:17:05,600 --> 06:17:13,200
the future of technology. We have to really be based on that. Good community practices for

4256
06:17:13,200 --> 06:17:21,040
our future of technology to do the good technology practices with this park. It'd be in good form.

4257
06:17:21,040 --> 06:17:25,520
It'd be offering our best practices and our decent seat. Good luck and have to do that. Thank you.

4258
06:17:27,920 --> 06:17:30,800
Thank you. Chair Lossen Room and that concludes public comment on this item.

4259
06:17:31,760 --> 06:17:37,280
Okay, thank you very much. Just very happy to bring this forward.

4260
06:17:38,480 --> 06:17:45,920
It is an issue that has come before us a couple of times in terms of conversations. I think it's a

4261
06:17:45,920 --> 06:17:52,640
long time in coming and having an opportunity to honor our first responders and our particular

4262
06:17:52,800 --> 06:18:01,600
firefighters for their service and and really for their sacrifice. So I think it's very hard

4263
06:18:02,960 --> 06:18:10,160
to fully acknowledge what so many of them have given for all of us and I did want to

4264
06:18:10,160 --> 06:18:16,640
dock at this as quickly as possible because there was an interest in having this underway in time for

4265
06:18:17,280 --> 06:18:24,720
the 9-11 memorial that will be happening in September. So again, I would like to

4266
06:18:25,680 --> 06:18:33,840
make a motion to adopt this item and hope to have the support of my colleagues. Super is a degree.

4267
06:18:35,680 --> 06:18:43,760
Thank you, Madam Chair. To your point, this has been long-time coming in. We don't have a regional

4268
06:18:44,720 --> 06:18:52,160
memorial location for our firefighters who sacrifice in so many different ways in our first responder.

4269
06:18:52,160 --> 06:18:59,680
So I think that we need to honor them and I think that you bringing this forward in an urgent

4270
06:18:59,680 --> 06:19:08,400
manner is something I'm very grateful for. I just want to offer, I guess it could be a friendly amendment.

4271
06:19:09,360 --> 06:19:16,560
I want us to be intentional about what we're doing here and just what I've heard from them is that

4272
06:19:16,560 --> 06:19:24,160
they would like to locate it in site 6, which is the mayor image of where the deputies memorial is

4273
06:19:25,200 --> 06:19:32,640
on the west side of the waterfront park. So I would suggest that we just go ahead and

4274
06:19:33,200 --> 06:19:41,840
choose that location instead of leaving it up to our CAO. And then I think you have my

4275
06:19:41,840 --> 06:19:51,280
bridge. And then we also direct the CAO to come back within 90 days if it's amenable to

4276
06:19:51,360 --> 06:20:02,320
folks to add the capacity of the space for Harbor Drive so that we also don't lose space within

4277
06:20:03,360 --> 06:20:07,840
the location that I'm proposing. I'll give it over in a second to read this.

4278
06:20:08,720 --> 06:20:12,720
Yeah, first part I get the second part I know.

4279
06:20:12,720 --> 06:20:16,000
Well, there's there's hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

4280
06:20:16,000 --> 06:20:21,520
Joel, you'll only hear you because your mic's on. So the question was what would that look like? Turn your

4281
06:20:21,520 --> 06:20:28,880
mic off. So the recommendation 3 would address any concerns related to obviously this is going to be

4282
06:20:28,880 --> 06:20:38,720
a permanent fixture. And our waterfront park hosts a lot of different events. So to a certain degree

4283
06:20:38,720 --> 06:20:45,200
we'll be losing some square footage that would be made available to potential events. So I just want

4284
06:20:45,200 --> 06:20:51,440
to add options so that we can offset that square footage that we would be losing within a memorial

4285
06:20:51,440 --> 06:20:57,920
and incorporate the option of including portions of Harbor Drive and directing staff to work with the

4286
06:20:58,080 --> 06:21:04,320
relevant jurisdictions and agencies to see if that could be feasible and that way we don't

4287
06:21:06,240 --> 06:21:11,760
it's a win-win. Okay, I have a thank you for this. I have a question.

4288
06:21:13,360 --> 06:21:18,480
If I may please go ahead. Thank you. I'm old enough on this board now.

4289
06:21:18,480 --> 06:21:25,600
Remember when we had a board chair who wanted to shut down Harbor Drive entirely and take our park

4290
06:21:25,680 --> 06:21:33,920
straight to the bay. And he also pledged $10,000 for this very event which I matched him

4291
06:21:34,960 --> 06:21:41,200
coming from my grant and I had a challenge all of you to manage my 10 grand going towards this memorial

4292
06:21:41,200 --> 06:21:46,800
from our community grant for our community. We are so fortunate you have such an incredible firefighters.

4293
06:21:46,800 --> 06:21:52,800
I think firefighters across the world are incredible, but here in San Diego they're especially awesome.

4294
06:21:53,040 --> 06:21:58,000
I didn't agree more. So that's all I have to say. And I did hear a comment earlier

4295
06:21:58,880 --> 06:22:03,920
that there were concerns about us, the county funding this and I just want to be clear that

4296
06:22:03,920 --> 06:22:09,920
that wouldn't be the case. It would be the firefighters have an ad hoc and never mind.

4297
06:22:11,520 --> 06:22:22,240
They have a task force. It's a very potent hard. But they have a task force that is ready to start

4298
06:22:22,240 --> 06:22:28,240
fundraising is my understanding. So that will be paid by them. But yeah, I mean I absolutely I would love

4299
06:22:28,240 --> 06:22:34,400
to support their fundraising efforts through it. But it would be super awesome. The first 50 grand

4300
06:22:34,400 --> 06:22:42,720
came from all of us, from our community community grants. I'm not going to put you on the spot.

4301
06:22:43,040 --> 06:22:51,920
But yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I just have to have a quick question on this.

4302
06:22:51,920 --> 06:22:56,480
To better understand, I'd love us who love to be able to take this amendment, but I want to better

4303
06:22:56,480 --> 06:23:04,880
understand the implications. So this is for site 6. So I think my question is just the county staff.

4304
06:23:05,760 --> 06:23:12,240
I just tell us about site 6. Is there any concerns or potential challenges or anything

4305
06:23:12,240 --> 06:23:20,160
that needs to be assessed? You know, any kind of any, yeah. It tells us about site 6, I guess.

4306
06:23:21,360 --> 06:23:27,200
Thank you, Chair. To the Chair Pro Thames comment regarding the multiple events. This particular

4307
06:23:27,200 --> 06:23:33,360
location, I don't know what I'm looking at, is in one of locations where some of those larger events

4308
06:23:33,360 --> 06:23:38,960
that do fund park revenues and fund the operations and the maintenance of the park are held.

4309
06:23:38,960 --> 06:23:44,320
We have large stages and things like that that you have limited space to be accommodated. The water

4310
06:23:44,320 --> 06:23:50,800
from park brings in about $2 million a year. All of that goes to park operations and maintenance.

4311
06:23:50,800 --> 06:23:56,480
About half of that comes from some of our large music festivals that do use that space.

4312
06:23:58,240 --> 06:24:02,560
I think with some of the other opportunities here, we could certainly look at expanding that area

4313
06:24:02,560 --> 06:24:07,360
and not losing that space. It would be helpful for us to be able to look into that a little bit further to see

4314
06:24:07,360 --> 06:24:12,960
how we could achieve both of the objectives here of retaining revenue and achieving the board's goals

4315
06:24:12,960 --> 06:24:18,160
with the firefighter memorial. Okay. I mean, I mean, I asked my assistants from Damien because to be,

4316
06:24:18,160 --> 06:24:24,640
I feel like I'm not 100 percent point on my amendments today. But I would love to basically support what

4317
06:24:24,960 --> 06:24:31,840
Super Ziggiers put out here, but giving county direction to kind of come up with a solution

4318
06:24:32,240 --> 06:24:39,040
that moves forward with the recommended site, but doesn't constrain them to only look at the

4319
06:24:39,040 --> 06:24:43,120
solution that Super Ziggiers proposed, which is a good idea, right, which is a value in the

4320
06:24:43,120 --> 06:24:50,240
feasibility using that's great, yes and other options. Is it also, is there something about the size of

4321
06:24:50,320 --> 06:24:56,000
the memorial that might be, if it's a little or an indifferent angle that might, you know, I don't

4322
06:24:56,000 --> 06:25:01,120
know, I don't want to like tie your hands that that's your only option, but would love you guys to come up with

4323
06:25:01,120 --> 06:25:08,160
some solutions that achieve both objectives and I love what Super Ziggiers get out. I think this three is great

4324
06:25:08,160 --> 06:25:13,520
and what else? What else could we brainstorm that would allow us to continue having these amazing events

4325
06:25:13,520 --> 06:25:21,520
to water from park and honoring our, you know, frankly, our heroes who like deserve every, you know,

4326
06:25:22,320 --> 06:25:27,360
everything that we can give them to honor the sacrifices that they made. So I don't know exactly what

4327
06:25:27,360 --> 06:25:31,760
you're considering their preference, right? Yeah, that's been saying, like, leaving the little preference

4328
06:25:31,760 --> 06:25:37,120
around, like, I think it's very clear they have a preference for kind of the mirror image location

4329
06:25:37,200 --> 06:25:43,440
to the law enforcement memorial. So, you know, prioritizing that preference and saying, okay,

4330
06:25:43,440 --> 06:25:50,080
that's the preference we want to be respectful, but how can we be respectful in a way that also allows

4331
06:25:50,080 --> 06:25:56,400
us to continue utilizing the spaces. I think Super Ziggiers has been very creative here with this idea

4332
06:25:56,400 --> 06:26:02,880
of looking for the expansions of like, can we close down Harbor Drive? I think it would just be, yeah,

4333
06:26:02,880 --> 06:26:08,320
I would be a simple add-on to direct CAO to coordinate with appropriate jurisdictions to violate

4334
06:26:08,320 --> 06:26:15,680
the feasibility of utilizing portions of Harbor Drive, including Bubble Blah and other options at the end of

4335
06:26:15,680 --> 06:26:24,640
that sentence. And then, and other feasible options. And also exploring all other feasible options to continue

4336
06:26:24,720 --> 06:26:33,600
having super awesome events as per the boards used by Joe Anderson. And other feasible options

4337
06:26:33,600 --> 06:26:41,680
to continue having large scale community of center events in Waterfront Park. I don't know if this

4338
06:26:41,680 --> 06:26:47,920
of accomplishes what we need kind of counsel, but I just want them to make a plan to do both and not

4339
06:26:47,920 --> 06:26:54,320
either or. Sure, I'll just remember the elements appeared to be clear enough to provide that

4340
06:26:54,320 --> 06:27:04,960
direction. Okay, I'm happy to do that. I'm happy to accept that. As long as they have a

4341
06:27:04,960 --> 06:27:12,240
direction to look at all possibilities to do all things and not just one option. Yeah, okay,

4342
06:27:12,320 --> 06:27:19,120
happy to accept your friendly moment. Yeah, then I'll say. Yeah. Okay. Uh, super does it?

4343
06:27:20,480 --> 06:27:27,200
Well, I wish I had a map. I wish I knew it with sites you were talking about. I have no, I don't

4344
06:27:28,240 --> 06:27:33,760
love. I can't do anything. I hold on Andrew is always Andrew and handsome. Well, that would have

4345
06:27:33,760 --> 06:27:41,440
been nice before this discussion or be in our packets or something. I didn't didn't have anything here.

4346
06:27:41,440 --> 06:27:45,600
Well, look, we can all look. So we're sites. Go back to the map.

4347
06:27:46,640 --> 06:27:55,760
So, guys, we're sites six. Right there. Okay. And the other one, the law enforcement memorial,

4348
06:27:55,760 --> 06:28:00,320
okay, is over there. Okay, but right now, I guess with the amendments, we open it up to whatever

4349
06:28:00,320 --> 06:28:04,720
the best that they come back with. Is that right? Instead of specifying six. Well, we are seeing

4350
06:28:04,720 --> 06:28:10,000
prioritizing six, because that's where they want it. But we're also saying, hey, go try to make

4351
06:28:10,000 --> 06:28:14,320
it happen at six and come back with all your options to do that without sacrificing events.

4352
06:28:14,320 --> 06:28:20,480
Okay. And of course, if they come back and they say, like, we have no feasible options,

4353
06:28:20,480 --> 06:28:27,440
we might have to have another conversation. Is that, is that, is that, it's again,

4354
06:28:27,440 --> 06:28:33,040
Kenny Council is the way that the amendments drafted clear enough that that's what we want to,

4355
06:28:33,040 --> 06:28:37,280
we would like to be, to do both, and not either or. That's clear, yes.

4356
06:28:38,480 --> 06:28:41,040
Does that make, is that, makes sense to you, Supervisor doesn't?

4357
06:28:41,040 --> 06:28:45,200
I see, yeah, and now I'm screwed. I got you.

4358
06:28:53,120 --> 06:28:58,960
Yeah, okay, please, I'd love to hear from our experts. Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to clarify the

4359
06:28:58,960 --> 06:29:06,560
location and make sure that staff is understanding it correctly. On this map, the site six is

4360
06:29:06,560 --> 06:29:12,000
a little bit further from where I understood it to be. I understood it to be a direct mirror of the law enforcement

4361
06:29:12,000 --> 06:29:16,000
memorial, which would be closer to, I believe it was four and five on that map.

4362
06:29:16,000 --> 06:29:17,360
You're back up, Andrew.

4363
06:29:17,360 --> 06:29:31,120
I'm along that walkway between four and five, which would be again a direct mirror of the law enforcement memorial.

4364
06:29:31,120 --> 06:29:37,920
We do have some conceptual, we have the opportunity to create some conceptual maps that that would be helpful.

4365
06:29:38,880 --> 06:29:47,760
We could operate with the direction to have it directly mirror the law enforcement memorial,

4366
06:29:47,760 --> 06:29:51,600
and I think we can work with the firefighters to identify precisely where that location.

4367
06:29:51,600 --> 06:29:54,560
I think that's that works, because I think the my-

4368
06:30:00,000 --> 06:30:11,000
To clarify, we have a different map that showed that number four in the current map displayed is number six in the one we were given.

4369
06:30:11,000 --> 06:30:21,000
So, anyway, we can work with, so can we strike the, we'll cover, we strike the pieces of six and just as the mirror image of the law enforcement map.

4370
06:30:21,000 --> 06:30:24,000
Yeah, that's fine. Okay, let's pull that back up.

4371
06:30:30,000 --> 06:30:46,000
It is, yeah, just get rid of that, yeah.

4372
06:30:46,000 --> 06:30:54,000
Yeah, just get rid of that, yeah.

4373
06:30:54,000 --> 06:31:08,000
Wait, hold on, it was, it, we missed something. So, it was directly to the, to thank the, at prioritizing, not at prioritizing a site.

4374
06:31:08,000 --> 06:31:17,000
Prioritizing, yeah.

4375
06:31:17,000 --> 06:31:33,000
And then after waterfront park, comma, and explore.

4376
06:31:33,000 --> 06:31:36,000
Great. Okay.

4377
06:31:36,000 --> 06:31:43,000
We have a motion of the floor, amendment and a second, any additional comments.

4378
06:31:44,000 --> 06:31:49,000
Okay, please, oh.

4379
06:31:49,000 --> 06:31:51,000
Turn it last and remember that motion passes unanimously.

4380
06:31:51,000 --> 06:31:55,000
I'll supervise just being present and voting on.

4381
06:31:55,000 --> 06:31:58,000
Okay. Thank you very much.

4382
06:31:58,000 --> 06:32:03,000
So now we'll go on to item 14.

4383
06:32:03,000 --> 06:32:08,000
This is a doctor resolution, the men, the Board of Supervisors July 2026 meeting calendar.

4384
06:32:08,000 --> 06:32:11,000
And it's up the ace of any two waiver.

4385
06:32:11,000 --> 06:32:17,000
This item has been barboard because we're not expecting any items from staff in this meeting.

4386
06:32:17,000 --> 06:32:24,000
Any comments from my colleagues at this time?

4387
06:32:24,000 --> 06:32:28,000
Any comments from the public?

4388
06:32:28,000 --> 06:32:30,000
Andrew.

4389
06:32:30,000 --> 06:32:33,000
Yes, Chair, thank you. We have nine requests to speak on this item.

4390
06:32:33,000 --> 06:32:36,000
Two in person seven requesting we speak by phone.

4391
06:32:36,000 --> 06:32:40,000
Also, note for the record that we received three e-commerce in opposition.

4392
06:32:40,000 --> 06:32:44,000
For any individuals that requested to speak on item 14 by phone.

4393
06:32:44,000 --> 06:32:48,000
Please dial in to the conference line using the instructions that were provided to you.

4394
06:32:48,000 --> 06:32:50,000
We'll begin with the in person speakers.

4395
06:32:50,000 --> 06:32:53,000
Allegedly, Audra has already approached the podium and also liked to invite.

4396
06:32:53,000 --> 06:32:55,000
Thank you.

4397
06:32:55,000 --> 06:32:57,000
Two minutes to address the board.

4398
06:32:57,000 --> 06:33:01,000
I've been brought my gavel just in case you like me to take over the meetings in July.

4399
06:33:01,000 --> 06:33:04,000
The general good business done, make sure the budget is spent wisely.

4400
06:33:04,000 --> 06:33:07,000
Children aren't being trafficked. Humans aren't being exploited.

4401
06:33:07,000 --> 06:33:09,000
That the homeless get into housing.

4402
06:33:09,000 --> 06:33:11,000
And you guys quick, racketeering.

4403
06:33:11,000 --> 06:33:14,000
That wouldn't allow you guys to continue.

4404
06:33:14,000 --> 06:33:15,000
You're arguing.

4405
06:33:15,000 --> 06:33:17,000
It's crimes in to get so.

4406
06:33:17,000 --> 06:33:18,000
That's not going to happen.

4407
06:33:18,000 --> 06:33:19,000
And I find it interesting.

4408
06:33:19,000 --> 06:33:22,000
It's like people are all worried about feelings.

4409
06:33:22,000 --> 06:33:25,000
So maybe while you guys are in your little break, you can think about,

4410
06:33:25,000 --> 06:33:30,000
I mean, what would it like if you got the shit beaten out of you by an officer?

4411
06:33:30,000 --> 06:33:31,000
I don't know.

4412
06:33:31,000 --> 06:33:33,000
You guys would probably play a card.

4413
06:33:33,000 --> 06:33:34,000
Monaco would play a black car.

4414
06:33:34,000 --> 06:33:36,000
People would play a brown card.

4415
06:33:36,000 --> 06:33:38,000
And Terry would play your due card.

4416
06:33:38,000 --> 06:33:39,000
So it's like, I don't know.

4417
06:33:39,000 --> 06:33:41,000
What card do I get to play?

4418
06:33:41,000 --> 06:33:44,000
Being of the light and just, you know, being the salt.

4419
06:33:44,000 --> 06:33:46,000
And the light and coming in with truth.

4420
06:33:46,000 --> 06:33:48,000
While you guys are just filled with sulfur.

4421
06:33:48,000 --> 06:33:50,000
It's interesting.

4422
06:33:50,000 --> 06:33:53,000
How like people are concerned about feelings.

4423
06:33:53,000 --> 06:33:57,000
Better if I was black or brown or Jewish.

4424
06:33:57,000 --> 06:34:00,000
And, you know, got beat up in that hallway.

4425
06:34:00,000 --> 06:34:01,000
Dang.

4426
06:34:01,000 --> 06:34:02,000
People would be pissed.

4427
06:34:02,000 --> 06:34:03,000
You imagine.

4428
06:34:03,000 --> 06:34:06,000
But being a native of American doesn't matter.

4429
06:34:06,000 --> 06:34:07,000
And because I'm also white.

4430
06:34:07,000 --> 06:34:09,000
Oh, number one.

4431
06:34:09,000 --> 06:34:10,000
But we don't know what that is.

4432
06:34:10,000 --> 06:34:13,000
So it's like, I mean, I guess that's why it doesn't matter.

4433
06:34:13,000 --> 06:34:14,000
You know what I mean?

4434
06:34:14,000 --> 06:34:15,000
I don't check enough boxes.

4435
06:34:15,000 --> 06:34:17,000
So I mean, you could ask people.

4436
06:34:17,000 --> 06:34:19,000
And you think I would.

4437
06:34:19,000 --> 06:34:21,000
I mean, people think I'm on the left.

4438
06:34:21,000 --> 06:34:22,000
Some people think I'm on the right.

4439
06:34:22,000 --> 06:34:24,000
People are very confused.

4440
06:34:24,000 --> 06:34:27,000
But it's just that.

4441
06:34:27,000 --> 06:34:29,000
It's sad to see you guys sit there and.

4442
06:34:29,000 --> 06:34:32,000
Oh, poor me about names.

4443
06:34:32,000 --> 06:34:35,000
All your own constituents have gotten the crap beat.

4444
06:34:35,000 --> 06:34:36,000
Not of them.

4445
06:34:36,000 --> 06:34:37,000
Right. Right in front of you.

4446
06:34:37,000 --> 06:34:39,000
Right in front of you.

4447
06:34:39,000 --> 06:34:40,000
And it didn't matter.

4448
06:34:40,000 --> 06:34:42,000
But yet we talk about our feelings.

4449
06:34:42,000 --> 06:34:45,000
And we do want to silence free speech.

4450
06:34:45,000 --> 06:34:49,000
Because it's so hurtful to how people say names.

4451
06:34:49,000 --> 06:34:53,000
Again, imagine if you were still injured.

4452
06:34:53,000 --> 06:35:00,000
From having the shit beat and out of you by a man to his extremely proud of it.

4453
06:35:00,000 --> 06:35:01,000
Good job.

4454
06:35:01,000 --> 06:35:04,000
Now, here for the individuals, I request you to speak by all.

4455
06:35:04,000 --> 06:35:06,000
We'll start with the first call.

4456
06:35:12,020 --> 06:35:13,020
Oh, Lord.

4457
06:35:13,020 --> 06:35:15,020
ум.

4458
06:35:15,020 --> 06:35:16,000
Um,

4459
06:35:16,000 --> 06:35:18,000
May.

4460
06:35:18,000 --> 06:35:22,020
I like you want to break from hearing that the message you create.

4461
06:35:22,020 --> 06:35:31,780
But, seriously, I think that it would be good to keep the date for meeting open and

4462
06:35:31,780 --> 06:35:36,020
less than the items are always cropping up.

4463
06:35:36,020 --> 06:35:46,820
If you do this, the next Gregor board meeting would be August 18, in fact, the rules of procedures

4464
06:35:46,820 --> 06:35:56,420
just that board meetings be held weekly and less otherwise get so much later every two months

4465
06:35:56,420 --> 06:36:07,780
would really be pushing it, you know, especially one-on-a-half months to mid-August.

4466
06:36:07,780 --> 06:36:15,820
You need to take care of the people, not make them wait if they actually do need your services.

4467
06:36:15,820 --> 06:36:24,300
You can cancel later if there's no new business or emergency business or something of that sort.

4468
06:36:24,300 --> 06:36:33,220
And people would have a firm date to go on for their fix or, you know, whatever.

4469
06:36:33,220 --> 06:36:46,340
But, if that firm date to go on to put down on their calendar, another thing, if you can tell

4470
06:36:46,340 --> 06:36:56,100
us for a head that there will be no items on July 14th, maybe you are in fact able to add

4471
06:36:56,100 --> 06:37:09,940
the items a few weeks earlier, as it was suggested previously, so now it all goes back to

4472
06:37:09,940 --> 06:37:19,700
transparency and I mean, if you don't have, thank you, we'll hear from the next caller.

4473
06:37:26,100 --> 06:37:38,340
I'm sure you're just chiming in to urge and encourage the board to start listening to people

4474
06:37:38,340 --> 06:37:47,780
great suggestions like all the bold and all the amazing people who are doing what they can,

4475
06:37:48,180 --> 06:38:01,300
look at attention and aren't getting paid for either, I mean, I'm not really paying that close to the

4476
06:38:01,300 --> 06:38:13,220
attention, because I don't have a system to help me out with my children and yeah, but I'm still

4477
06:38:13,220 --> 06:38:17,780
interested in still chiming in, and that's all I have to say, because I'm truly, I don't even know

4478
06:38:17,780 --> 06:38:22,820
what item we're on. Thank you. Thank you, here from the next caller.

4479
06:38:29,300 --> 06:38:35,860
Hey, it's true, so as I'm eating my wonderful stir fry here, you know, have a life. I'm wondering is this item

4480
06:38:35,860 --> 06:38:42,260
is this an unofficial vacation in July to celebrate herers charter destruction going on the ballot?

4481
06:38:42,340 --> 06:38:46,660
Hi, how it seems, because I'm sure you guys have some other evil stuff you could pass in July, right?

4482
06:38:47,620 --> 06:38:54,020
But this is actually my favorite agenda item of all time. I mean, I'm all time. I always support

4483
06:38:54,020 --> 06:38:59,700
cancel meetings, of course. I mean, I think while you're there, you should cancel August, September,

4484
06:38:59,700 --> 06:39:05,620
October, November, December, canceled the 2027 meetings. But I want to give you reasons why,

4485
06:39:05,620 --> 06:39:12,580
why you should cancel all meetings, including next month. You had a Korean flip manny on the ad box

4486
06:39:12,580 --> 06:39:17,060
thing. Wow, someone's like, they don't just like, came up on you, like, through a tremendous money.

4487
06:39:17,620 --> 06:39:24,260
And you have a whole, a whole board of privileged people with multiple homes pretending they can relate to

4488
06:39:24,260 --> 06:39:28,420
a regular people. And that's the difficulty of talking about manny, and I'm talking about Monica,

4489
06:39:28,420 --> 06:39:33,380
pretending you can relate. The county can't even get the maps right. You had two different maps going,

4490
06:39:33,460 --> 06:39:39,140
what map did the public get? Who knows? Who cares, right? That goes back to the transparency thing.

4491
06:39:39,140 --> 06:39:44,500
That's on the list. You have a city of Senegal bias against the backcountry. That's another reason

4492
06:39:44,500 --> 06:39:50,660
to cancel meeting. You have county council, just bad and unlawful legal advice constantly,

4493
06:39:50,660 --> 06:39:56,260
could totally unqualified. Of course, I've covered that. You also have a lot of crazy things that are said.

4494
06:39:56,260 --> 06:40:00,340
I think that alone is a reason to cancel the meeting, so we can have some sanity. I want to give

4495
06:40:00,340 --> 06:40:05,460
just one example. Monica, you're not the example today. She's still happy. I am technically the mayor's

4496
06:40:05,460 --> 06:40:10,180
good need of. Oh, sorry, I got this the wrong one. I was trying to play the one where, uh,

4497
06:40:10,820 --> 06:40:16,660
Randy said, uh, we need more inclusivity because uh, it's exclusive to not have inclusivity. It's, yeah,

4498
06:40:16,660 --> 06:40:22,420
it's just so crazy. But at the same time, a kind of change in your mind. Let's have this meeting in July

4499
06:40:22,420 --> 06:40:27,540
and cancel the one in August. That would work better for me because, you know, this is a torture

4500
06:40:27,540 --> 06:40:34,420
chamber of selfishness. So I think that makes sense, right? Thank you. Here from the next caller.

4501
06:40:41,620 --> 06:40:43,620
Actor. Oh, yeah. The resolution.

4502
06:40:48,500 --> 06:40:51,140
Okay. Thank you. Oh, here from the next caller.

4503
06:40:58,260 --> 06:41:10,260
Hi, Blair Beakman. Thank you. Interesting item. This is both the city of San Diego and the city of

4504
06:41:10,260 --> 06:41:15,780
Oakland. You know, I was from originally from the Bay Area and I still attend the city of Oakland

4505
06:41:15,780 --> 06:41:21,700
public meetings. Both of your meetings, your camps, you're, they're both of their meetings. They're

4506
06:41:21,700 --> 06:41:27,860
ending in mid July. And it sounds like you guys are following the same practice. It seems to be a group

4507
06:41:27,860 --> 06:41:34,020
effort here that wants to cancel end of July meetings. I don't know why that is. Could that be given some

4508
06:41:34,020 --> 06:41:41,460
explanation and understanding? I personally feel July meetings for government bodies. They tend to be

4509
06:41:41,460 --> 06:41:47,780
more open and free and, and, and, and, and, and good thinking, uh, kind of robust thinking actually in July.

4510
06:41:47,860 --> 06:41:53,300
So I'm kind of surprised. Uh, this is happening. Uh, if some explanations could be given,

4511
06:41:53,300 --> 06:41:59,620
that would be great, uh, possibly in why it's happening across the state. Um, would be helpful.

4512
06:41:59,620 --> 06:42:09,140
And, uh, I didn't mad, uh, just, uh, I hope I could be attending a few more county meetings. And it was

4513
06:42:09,140 --> 06:42:15,860
nice to hear your work in efforts today. And, um, good luck on building, um, equity before austerity.

4514
06:42:15,940 --> 06:42:20,500
I've learned that importantly in San Diego, uh, the city. They've done great work in that area,

4515
06:42:21,060 --> 06:42:24,500
uh, good luck in, um, those sort of, those sort of efforts. Thank you.

4516
06:42:26,500 --> 06:42:28,100
Thank you. Here from the next caller.

4517
06:42:28,500 --> 06:42:44,660
Emo stated, go ahead and close up the meetings. Go ahead and figure out what you want to

4518
06:42:44,660 --> 06:42:52,340
go ahead and do, um, because regardless, NBRA requires you to go ahead and make sure you make a reasonable

4519
06:42:52,420 --> 06:42:58,500
effort to purchase files. If you have it, you're going to have to immediately purchase files.

4520
06:43:00,100 --> 06:43:05,460
I think I won. And then when you purchase these files, thank you, Damon. You're going to be the

4521
06:43:05,460 --> 06:43:13,780
one that's going to go ahead and show the world that San Diego allows more non-citizens to vote than citizens.

4522
06:43:15,460 --> 06:43:18,500
You're going to be the one that's going to go ahead and show that. And then we're going to go ahead and

4523
06:43:18,500 --> 06:43:23,220
explain through the board members that all their actions that they've been taking.

4524
06:43:25,060 --> 06:43:30,900
They probably should have addressed the elections. And that says they are accomplices. You know,

4525
06:43:30,900 --> 06:43:39,700
under the NBRA, subtext, uh, I'm sorry, uh, election code 18, 500. If that's the reason why you've

4526
06:43:39,700 --> 06:43:44,100
never went in and looked at it because by looking at it, you're going to have to address it. By

4527
06:43:44,100 --> 06:43:48,820
pretending you don't, you don't recognize the fact that you're not doing these projects.

4528
06:43:49,940 --> 06:43:53,700
The fact that you refuse to listen to anyone telling you these things,

4529
06:43:54,580 --> 06:43:59,060
oh yeah, no, I'm going to rub your nose in it. You're going to go ahead and provide me that documentation.

4530
06:43:59,060 --> 06:44:03,780
Then you're going to go ahead and identify the non-citizens vote. Then you're going to have to make a

4531
06:44:03,780 --> 06:44:10,100
tough decision. Are you going to deport all of them? Are you going to charge all of them 100,000

4532
06:44:11,060 --> 06:44:15,940
or are you going to put all of them in federal prison? We're committing that crime that you

4533
06:44:15,940 --> 06:44:22,340
allowed them to commit. That you protected them to prevent. Are you going to go ahead and call out

4534
06:44:22,340 --> 06:44:27,940
the NGOs that are actually voting for these people? All these questions, you're going to have to

4535
06:44:27,940 --> 06:44:34,980
ask yourself, answer what? And after you get me that thing, 90 days after that, you'll have to go ahead

4536
06:44:35,860 --> 06:44:41,460
and you know, who's something about it? I'm not sure if you want to go ahead and go to jail for

4537
06:44:41,460 --> 06:44:47,940
committing fraud. Thank you and Chair Lawson River, that concludes public comment on this item.

4538
06:44:47,940 --> 06:44:55,700
Okay, turn the floor to super is there, Anderson? I don't have a problem supporting this today, but I had to

4539
06:45:00,000 --> 06:45:10,240
We were going to submit, that's all ready to go for that meeting. We have a bunch of stuff coming

4540
06:45:10,240 --> 06:45:19,840
up at the election time and I saw that F3FM3 research in ironwood, public affairs. They had renewed

4541
06:45:19,840 --> 06:45:26,480
contracts and saw my board of theirs going to request that they do any election or polling or

4542
06:45:26,480 --> 06:45:31,360
any of that information presented to the entire board, but I just want to give you a heads up on that

4543
06:45:31,360 --> 06:45:37,360
because I want to give them ample time. So I don't think it's going to make any difference,

4544
06:45:37,360 --> 06:45:41,200
but I was concerned about the timeline getting pushed back too far.

4545
06:45:41,200 --> 06:45:45,680
Okay. Thank you. Thank you for making that statement. So now, they'll be ready.

4546
06:45:46,640 --> 06:45:50,480
Yes. Yes. Okay. Great. Happy to make a motion.

4547
06:45:52,640 --> 06:45:54,720
Okay, do we have a second from the vice chair? Please vote.

4548
06:45:57,440 --> 06:46:02,320
Chair Lawson, remember that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present

4549
06:46:02,320 --> 06:46:09,200
and voting aye. Okay. Thank you very much. I think we now are done with the items on the agenda,

4550
06:46:09,200 --> 06:46:13,280
except for closed sessions. We're going to not agenda public comment and then to close session.

4551
06:46:14,000 --> 06:46:17,440
Thank you, Chair Lawson, remember. We have 18 remaining requests to speak a matter,

4552
06:46:17,440 --> 06:46:22,640
is not listed on the agenda. 10 individuals in person and eight requesting to speak by phone.

4553
06:46:23,120 --> 06:46:27,360
So those that request to speak by phone, please dial in with conference sign using the instructions

4554
06:46:27,360 --> 06:46:33,920
that we're provided to you. Begin with the in-person speakers, not seeing any individuals in the chamber.

4555
06:46:33,920 --> 06:46:38,000
I'll just run through the names just in case they happen to be in the hallway or across the hall.

4556
06:46:38,880 --> 06:46:44,480
Andrew Lawson, Marcos Benosa, Skylar Smith, Carolina Garcia,

4557
06:46:44,480 --> 06:46:55,520
Zett C. Dante and Asyn Chang, and one now here from those that requested to speak by phone,

4558
06:46:55,520 --> 06:47:02,400
we'll start with our first caller. Again, you'll have two minutes to address the board.

4559
06:47:02,720 --> 06:47:15,520
Next speaker is Terry Anne Scully, the device might be muted.

4560
06:47:24,800 --> 06:47:26,160
And we can come back to you.

4561
06:47:32,400 --> 06:47:40,960
Great. Let's be down with us. It's true. American citizens of here.

4562
06:47:40,960 --> 06:47:46,160
Question for Terry. What is the line of rampant trust? And how does that relates to your third

4563
06:47:46,160 --> 06:47:50,800
house among the needs to drive in the city of Fed Diego? Do you actually live in D3 or not?

4564
06:47:51,520 --> 06:47:56,560
Question number two for two homes manning. Was that Norris left over flowers on your head yesterday

4565
06:47:56,560 --> 06:48:01,120
because that sure looked like at Puyaco. On June 5th, Manila held the first Friday breakfast

4566
06:48:01,120 --> 06:48:05,520
at the San New Country Club in Chulavista about connecting local businesses to county resources,

4567
06:48:05,520 --> 06:48:11,280
only if they paid a $27 entry fee for access to those county resources paid a play corruption.

4568
06:48:11,840 --> 06:48:17,920
Then she wasted her tax dollars on an egotistical logo for a crowd dub where she lied about her first name,

4569
06:48:17,920 --> 06:48:23,120
lied about being a surfer rather than the bodyboarder she used to be and lied about ever protecting our

4570
06:48:23,120 --> 06:48:28,560
national environment. On December 20th, Manila also had a turkey giveaway. We are our special event

4571
06:48:28,560 --> 06:48:34,800
trust on where she gave up $754 worth of turkey to $57. Sia, you members closed off to the public.

4572
06:48:35,440 --> 06:48:43,280
November 25, despite receiving $179,000 from UBW, Manila Ploma owed $2600 to property taxes and

4573
06:48:43,280 --> 06:48:48,800
racked up $44,000 in campaign debt. If you had an event, I'm very proud of where someone could pay $200.

4574
06:48:48,800 --> 06:48:53,280
She'd become a friend who retires her campaign debt. The show of pattern and practice we never

4575
06:48:53,280 --> 06:48:58,240
forget her and her debt be $32,000 credit card debt as fake roughly, but let's look to the June 18th

4576
06:48:58,240 --> 06:49:03,520
voice of San Diego South County report post. To provide your GLA held a fundraiser at a downtown

4577
06:49:03,520 --> 06:49:09,280
San Diego wine bar to help pay off at least $67,000 on pesos from her race last year. Breakfast show

4578
06:49:09,280 --> 06:49:17,200
a GLA spent close to $629,000 in quotes. Moots for Manila, how did you go from $44,000 to $67,000

4579
06:49:17,200 --> 06:49:21,920
at that in only seven months? Why is there many paying her own bills for their $200,000 plus

4580
06:49:21,920 --> 06:49:27,040
of your supervisor salary? Maybe get a real job. There was even an event at the Sweetwater Valley

4581
06:49:27,040 --> 06:49:31,360
Cliff, a Civic Association, where Manila left before doing the pledge because, of course,

4582
06:49:31,360 --> 06:49:36,080
she hates America. As a Civic Engage citizen said, you don't have the right to leave.

4583
06:49:36,080 --> 06:49:41,120
You have the wish to represent and you guys are failing miserably. Have a great day.

4584
06:49:42,960 --> 06:49:44,560
Thank you. We'll hear from the next call.

4585
06:49:47,200 --> 06:49:58,640
Why does the heck go? I wish you guys would go to Zoom, like a city of San Diego, to Zoom meetings,

4586
06:49:59,440 --> 06:50:04,800
and that would make it a lot easier to call in and listen and everything. Even your technology

4587
06:50:04,800 --> 06:50:11,920
person, I haven't learned how to do Bluetooth, so you wouldn't have to plug in the computer to put it

4588
06:50:11,920 --> 06:50:20,080
up the screen. Maybe hire a young guy. They could even do Bluetooth from home and put things on the

4589
06:50:20,080 --> 06:50:28,640
screen, so it would make it easier for everyone to access the meetings. It's kind of unfortunate

4590
06:50:28,640 --> 06:50:34,880
you guys are taking July off, so it seems like a lot of stuff happened. July is the, it's white history

4591
06:50:34,880 --> 06:50:42,880
month in July and then every other day and like the odd number of days are going to be

4592
06:50:42,880 --> 06:50:50,320
white supremacy days and then like the first one July first is going to be examples of white supremacy

4593
06:50:50,320 --> 06:50:54,960
and it's going to be like to the black community where they're all into wrapping and stuff.

4594
06:50:55,520 --> 06:51:03,600
But the best wrapper in the whole world is a white guy. Eminem. So maybe white people are superior.

4595
06:51:04,400 --> 06:51:11,040
Eminem, man, talk to any black rapper or all of them. He did it all of the guys. Eminem is the man.

4596
06:51:11,760 --> 06:51:16,480
There's another white supremacy thing. I don't know, man, but then on the second day,

4597
06:51:16,480 --> 06:51:26,480
we'll just go with a regular white hero and it will pick out a woman to you. You'll watch drives as a white

4598
06:51:26,480 --> 06:51:30,640
person. Have a good day, man. Have a good day.

4599
06:51:33,600 --> 06:51:46,160
We'll hear from the next caller. Pam, oh, a couple things. Did you all miss that July 27th is

4600
06:51:46,160 --> 06:51:53,200
Tara's birthday. So maybe that's why she wants the month off. Second of all, did Paloma start a

4601
06:51:53,200 --> 06:51:59,360
merch business with her new logo and I would love to reiterate the good news from the US Supreme

4602
06:51:59,360 --> 06:52:03,840
Court today, ruled in favor of President Trump, Linnocene, the number of asylum seekers in

4603
06:52:03,840 --> 06:52:10,400
America and revoking the temporary status of serians and Haitians and others. I suggest you read it.

4604
06:52:10,400 --> 06:52:15,440
So you're educated. So you know exactly what's happening because this is America first.

4605
06:52:16,320 --> 06:52:21,680
Sadly, children continue to be under threat in this county because of the agenda of darkness and death

4606
06:52:21,680 --> 06:52:28,320
pushed by the win on this board. abortion kills pre-born humans, surgically or by the abortion pill.

4607
06:52:28,480 --> 06:52:34,320
I bet the three of you women, even though Tara's not there, is thrilled. More abortions have been

4608
06:52:35,120 --> 06:52:44,240
committed since row with 330,000 babies killed by the abortion pill alone. And that's just maybe the

4609
06:52:44,240 --> 06:52:50,240
numbers that are known and then bless their hearts. Those babies are expelled and flushed down the

4610
06:52:50,240 --> 06:52:56,080
toilets. The ideology of transgenderism also threatens children. It's blatantly in their faces during

4611
06:52:56,160 --> 06:53:01,280
Pride Month and many other special days of the calendar year. This county redefined women to include

4612
06:53:01,280 --> 06:53:08,560
men, you know, individual born with a penis, granting them privileged position to pretend to be

4613
06:53:08,560 --> 06:53:15,680
women and in days basis for girls and women. You know, anyone can be a predator. Ninn, women,

4614
06:53:15,680 --> 06:53:23,520
straight, tram, gay, lesbian. Predatory behavior includes sexualizing and grooming children by strangers

4615
06:53:23,520 --> 06:53:29,600
or even parents and people that they know. And in some instances or most instances,

4616
06:53:30,880 --> 06:53:35,920
they harm children to the point that children will not know when they're being raped or how to

4617
06:53:35,920 --> 06:53:43,440
say no or when to seek help. Ratings, hospital, is such a predator by committing and performing barbaric

4618
06:53:44,400 --> 06:53:57,280
Thank you. There's a red skull. Hi, Natalie Rashke. I just wanted to say that I'm not

4619
06:53:57,280 --> 06:54:05,120
looking for anyone to save me when it comes to the EHVs, everybody in the city is on a weight list. So there's

4620
06:54:05,120 --> 06:54:12,960
about 358 or 85 EHV holders that will become homeless in November 30th. I'm just curious

4621
06:54:12,960 --> 06:54:21,440
when the city and the county come together and push the federal government on doing these things.

4622
06:54:21,440 --> 06:54:28,080
I was told I had 1230. So I planned my life around that. I didn't create COVID. I speak on the

4623
06:54:28,080 --> 06:54:35,920
half of a lot of people that don't have the ability to come and speak. Whatever I need to do,

4624
06:54:36,720 --> 06:54:42,400
to put myself in front of a federal government, I've been in contact with Sarah Jacobs office.

4625
06:54:43,280 --> 06:54:50,240
They contacted HUD. I still haven't got a response. There's no urgency. In November 30th, there will be

4626
06:54:50,240 --> 06:54:56,080
over a thousand people that will become homeless. I'm not sure if the county and the city communicate

4627
06:54:56,160 --> 06:55:05,600
how that's going to affect the whole of San Diego. Thank you. Thank you, we'll hear from the next

4628
06:55:05,600 --> 06:55:18,160
caller. Thank you. Good afternoon. This is Kathleen with it. I'd like to talk about this

4629
06:55:18,160 --> 06:55:24,880
our two biggest problems in the United States, as far as drug use, combining alcohol and

4630
06:55:24,880 --> 06:55:31,760
pot. A alcohol and marijuana industries have run a decades long campaign of normalization. And the

4631
06:55:31,760 --> 06:55:38,800
marijuana industry effort to give marijuana better name led to public acceptance of it as a natural

4632
06:55:38,800 --> 06:55:45,600
therapeutic and even harmless. Public officials prioritize potential tax revenues incentivized by

4633
06:55:45,600 --> 06:55:52,000
industry lobbying and the lie that the potential tax revenues would compensate for the harms.

4634
06:55:52,000 --> 06:55:59,040
They don't. Alcohol is the number one drug in the U.S. for which Americans seek treatment. That's

4635
06:55:59,040 --> 06:56:05,920
combined with the increasing normalization of marijuana has led to a cluster of social and physiological

4636
06:56:05,920 --> 06:56:13,040
harms, including greater and longer lasting driving impairment, and either drugs use separately,

4637
06:56:13,040 --> 06:56:20,640
even in small doses. Gamma research validated that finding in their study of the co-use of cannabis

4638
06:56:20,640 --> 06:56:31,200
animals and alcohol. This phenomenon is called the normalization of deviance. It's a phenomenon that

4639
06:56:31,200 --> 06:56:38,720
leads to the false assumption that something risky is safe. Public health needs clear and evidence-based

4640
06:56:38,720 --> 06:56:45,760
messaging of the risks of psychoactive drugs and failure to provide that messaging has contributed

4641
06:56:45,760 --> 06:56:53,440
to the false confidence, but the risks of both these drugs are acceptable. Thank you very much for letting me speak.

4642
06:56:55,360 --> 06:56:57,440
Thank you. We're now here from the final caller.

4643
06:56:58,320 --> 06:57:10,720
Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors. My name is Terry and Scaly and I work with my county planning group on

4644
06:57:10,720 --> 06:57:17,360
good public health and safety policies in land use decisions. I read that the City of San Diego approved

4645
06:57:17,360 --> 06:57:24,160
policies on Monday that would create a registration process for populations from outside the City of

4646
06:57:24,160 --> 06:57:30,240
San Diego that are delivering in the city but are not one of the city's permitted pot shops.

4647
06:57:30,240 --> 06:57:35,360
Their new policy would include those who are permitted to operate in other jurisdictions,

4648
06:57:35,360 --> 06:57:41,440
most registered if operating in the city. However, they were speakers who said they were going to

4649
06:57:41,440 --> 06:57:47,760
receive permits from the county and did not want to register for a permit to deliver into San Diego

4650
06:57:47,760 --> 06:57:54,240
where they live and plan to deliver pot. That's for the scary declaration for two reasons.

4651
06:57:54,240 --> 06:58:01,600
Number one, it is the county, SCCP, just another example of those who don't live out here in the

4652
06:58:01,600 --> 06:58:08,640
unincorporated communities want to come here to harm it by high profile pot shops. And number two,

4653
06:58:08,640 --> 06:58:15,840
it may be wonder about all those pot entrepreneurs who continuously tell us that they're providing a

4654
06:58:15,840 --> 06:58:21,520
necessary service. However, they don't want to abide by the rules and registration in the city of San

4655
06:58:21,520 --> 06:58:27,680
Diego to deliver pot there yet intent to deliver there. That makes the public wonder if the real motive

4656
06:58:28,400 --> 06:58:35,680
behind selling pot is just funny. Which has always been the motive behind selling any kind of drugs.

4657
06:58:36,480 --> 06:58:41,840
Thank you for hearing my concerns this afternoon. Thank you, Vice Chairman, I'm going to

4658
06:58:41,840 --> 06:58:45,680
re-step that concludes the request for non-agenda public communication for this session.

4659
06:58:46,240 --> 06:58:50,720
Okay, we will now go to close session meeting. It's adjourned. Thank you.

4660
06:58:51,920 --> 06:58:57,200
The board will now recess into close session to continue consideration of the matters listed in

4661
06:58:57,200 --> 06:59:04,000
item 11 and IHSS one on yesterday's agenda. If there are any reportable actions they will be reported

4662
06:59:04,000 --> 06:59:06,000
after the conclusion of close session today.
