1
00:07:52,982 --> 00:07:56,519
signs which you can see in many

2
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:57,554
locations throughout the county

3
00:07:57,554 --> 00:08:00,657
the qr code links to the county

4
00:08:00,657 --> 00:08:03,259
hosted website we had monthly

5
00:08:03,259 --> 00:08:03,960

8
00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:08,865
partnership with the county we

9
00:08:08,865 --> 00:08:11,568
have installed cameras to seek

10
00:08:11,568 --> 00:08:11,902
prosecutions on illegal

11
00:08:11,902 --> 00:08:12,602
dumping.

12
00:08:12,602 --> 00:08:15,505
We are working with businesses

13
00:08:15,505 --> 00:08:16,340
and schools.

14
00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:17,173
We are working very hard right

15
00:08:17,173 --> 00:08:20,100
now to organize the second

16
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:23,100
annual pitch in santa cruz

17
00:08:23,113 --> 00:08:23,347
county cleanup day on MAY 10th

18
00:08:23,347 --> 00:08:24,381
.

19
00:08:24,381 --> 00:08:26,649
And as you know I am asking for

20
00:08:26,649 --> 00:08:27,318
your help because in writing I

21
00:08:27,318 --> 00:08:30,318
requested that you put this

22
00:08:30,488 --> 00:08:31,155

23
00:08:31,155 --> 00:08:31,589
amplify this message to your

24
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:33,589
constituents.

25
00:08:34,691 --> 00:08:35,526
You have broad reach and the

26
00:08:35,526 --> 00:08:38,529
more of the community and our

27
00:08:38,529 --> 00:08:39,329
residents and visitors frankly

28
00:08:39,329 --> 00:08:41,732
to help with this effort, the

29
00:08:41,732 --> 00:08:42,532
more successful will be.

30
00:08:42,532 --> 00:08:43,333
And more importantly, I'm

31
00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:45,636
inviting each of you to

32
00:08:45,636 --> 00:08:46,671
actually articipate to

33
00:08:46,671 --> 00:08:49,974
actually show up to a clean up

34
00:08:49,974 --> 00:08:50,574
or organized one with your

35
00:08:50,574 --> 00:08:50,909
constituents and lead by

36
00:08:50,909 --> 00:08:52,909
example.

37
00:08:53,311 --> 00:08:53,545
It's a great press opportunity

38
00:08:53,545 --> 00:08:54,579
.

39
00:08:54,579 --> 00:08:55,280
It's a great photo op and it

40
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,348
would show our community that

41
00:08:57,348 --> 00:08:59,748
our supervisor are critically

42
00:09:01,219 --> 00:09:02,120
concerned about this issue and

43
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:02,754
our goal is to make santa cruz

44
00:09:02,754 --> 00:09:05,690
the cleanest county in the

45
00:09:05,690 --> 00:09:05,991
state and we appreciate your

46
00:09:05,991 --> 00:09:07,991
help.

47
00:09:12,431 --> 00:09:13,365
Thank you so much, gus.

48
00:09:13,365 --> 00:09:16,365
Hi, my name's david mckune.

49
00:09:17,636 --> 00:09:20,636
I live downtown here in

50
00:09:20,706 --> 00:09:23,706
justin's district and I believe

51
00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:25,311
that man who brought forth a I

52
00:09:25,311 --> 00:09:28,413
don't know what you ould call

53
00:09:28,413 --> 00:09:31,413
it brought forth some substance

54
00:09:32,685 --> 00:09:35,685
that would eliminate or outlaw

55
00:09:36,556 --> 00:09:39,556
a gas blowing leaf blowers.

56
00:09:40,359 --> 00:09:40,660
I feel really strongly about

57
00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:41,794
this.

58
00:09:41,794 --> 00:09:44,564
I want to explain I live in a

59
00:09:44,564 --> 00:09:47,564
to three rather large apartment

60
00:09:47,834 --> 00:09:48,534
buildings and on different days

61
00:09:48,534 --> 00:09:51,534
of the week these maintenance

62
00:09:51,638 --> 00:09:52,472
crews come through and they

63
00:09:52,472 --> 00:09:56,720
blow these things and it's so

64
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:57,770
disruptive air polluting, noise

65
00:09:57,770 --> 00:09:59,770
polluting.

66
00:10:00,380 --> 00:10:00,746
I mean we have a I live in

67
00:10:00,746 --> 00:10:02,746
barbacoa.

68
00:10:04,184 --> 00:10:05,118
It's a senior citizen complex.

69
00:10:05,118 --> 00:10:08,118
I mean it's driving these

70
00:10:08,188 --> 00:10:08,654
people myself included

71
00:10:08,654 --> 00:10:10,654
absolutely nuts.

72
00:10:11,892 --> 00:10:16,920
These things need to go and I

73
00:10:16,296 --> 00:10:16,597
just want to say a personal

74
00:10:16,597 --> 00:10:17,497
note.

75
00:10:17,497 --> 00:10:20,468
I mean santa cruz is supposed

76
00:10:20,468 --> 00:10:21,335
to be forward thinking and you

77
00:10:21,335 --> 00:10:22,670
need to get after this one in

78
00:10:22,670 --> 00:10:25,670
particular I really hope you

79
00:10:26,507 --> 00:10:28,507
will.

80
00:10:30,411 --> 00:10:30,645
It's so obnoxious these things

81
00:10:30,645 --> 00:10:31,546
.

82
00:10:31,546 --> 00:10:32,130
I want to tell you a quick

83
00:10:32,130 --> 00:10:34,130
personal story.

84
00:10:34,949 --> 00:10:38,152
When I was 14 I took two busses

85
00:10:38,152 --> 00:10:41,152
into downtown santa cruz to

86
00:10:41,289 --> 00:10:42,323
sweep the floors of a large

87
00:10:42,323 --> 00:10:45,827
drugstore and two years later I

88
00:10:45,827 --> 00:10:49,331
got a job sweeping the alameda

89
00:10:49,331 --> 00:10:50,310
county fairgrounds from

90
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:50,365
midnight till 8:00 in the

91
00:10:50,365 --> 00:10:52,365
morning.

92
00:10:53,768 --> 00:10:54,690
My point is what's wrong with a

93
00:10:54,690 --> 00:10:54,803
broom?

94
00:10:54,803 --> 00:10:57,639
I mean these guys are just

95
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:57,906
blowing this stuff up in the

96
00:10:57,906 --> 00:10:58,707
air.

97
00:10:58,707 --> 00:11:02,440
You can see the dust particles

98
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,447
and in the noise is just beyond

99
00:11:05,447 --> 00:11:06,381
reasonable.

100
00:11:06,381 --> 00:11:08,683
you got to do something about

101
00:11:08,683 --> 00:11:09,485
this as I understand it, these

102
00:11:09,485 --> 00:11:12,721
things were supposed to be put

103
00:11:12,721 --> 00:11:13,388
to bed as of JANUARY 1st,

104
00:11:13,388 --> 00:11:15,788
DECEMBER 31st, whatever you

105
00:11:16,425 --> 00:11:18,825
want to call it.

106
00:11:27,503 --> 00:11:28,537
And now they prolonged this

107
00:11:28,537 --> 00:11:29,372
final decision on this until as

108
00:11:29,372 --> 00:11:29,972
I understand JUNE or JULY.

109
00:11:29,972 --> 00:11:30,739
Thank you.

110
00:11:30,739 --> 00:11:31,740
So please leave your following

111
00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:31,874
remarks.

112
00:11:31,874 --> 00:11:32,842
I'm sorry the time is up to me

113
00:11:32,842 --> 00:11:33,242
and I hope we'll do something

114
00:11:33,242 --> 00:11:33,942
about this.

115
00:11:33,942 --> 00:11:36,942
It's really driving our older

116
00:11:39,449 --> 00:11:40,283
people crazy.

117
00:11:40,283 --> 00:11:42,683

127
00:11:55,699 --> 00:11:56,400
I'm extremely excited to

128
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,800
finalize this agreement which

129
00:11:59,436 --> 00:11:59,870
we've been working on for over

130
00:11:59,870 --> 00:12:00,871
the last year.

131
00:12:00,871 --> 00:12:03,574
This is going to guaranteed

132
00:12:03,574 --> 00:12:04,241
apprenticeship opportunities

133
00:12:04,241 --> 00:12:04,540
from joint labor management

134
00:12:04,540 --> 00:12:06,540
trust.

135
00:12:07,211 --> 00:12:08,450
This is going to guarantee

136
00:12:08,450 --> 00:12:08,846
health care for these workers.

137
00:12:08,846 --> 00:12:10,781
This is going to guarantee

138
00:12:10,781 --> 00:12:11,515
retirement benefits and e are

139
00:12:11,515 --> 00:12:14,515
going to increase the local

140
00:12:14,552 --> 00:12:15,586
hire here locally.

141
00:12:15,586 --> 00:12:18,322
I'm very excited and I want to

142
00:12:18,322 --> 00:12:18,689
congratulate both monika and

143
00:12:18,689 --> 00:12:19,523
kimberly.

144
00:12:19,523 --> 00:12:22,560
You two have been working so

145
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:23,561
hard to get into these seats

146
00:12:23,561 --> 00:12:25,496
and I was so excited to see the

147
00:12:25,496 --> 00:12:26,496
new faces on this board and

148
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:26,964
where this board is going to go

149
00:12:26,964 --> 00:12:28,964
in this future.

150
00:12:29,967 --> 00:12:30,668
these opportunities are going

151
00:12:30,668 --> 00:12:33,304
to expand more than just what

152
00:12:33,304 --> 00:12:34,105
I've just presented to you

153
00:12:34,105 --> 00:12:34,506
current climates right now with

154
00:12:34,506 --> 00:12:36,506
immigration.

155
00:12:37,241 --> 00:12:38,276
Do you feel that someone

156
00:12:38,276 --> 00:12:41,146
without it would feel safe to

157
00:12:41,146 --> 00:12:41,546
come forward with a wage

158
00:12:41,546 --> 00:12:41,947
violation?

159
00:12:41,947 --> 00:12:43,947
No.

160
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,650
So giving an opportunity for

161
00:12:45,650 --> 00:12:48,500
these workers to have

162
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,388
representation which they've

163
00:12:49,388 --> 00:12:52,758
never had before is going to

164
00:12:52,758 --> 00:12:53,992
improve this community tenfold.

165
00:12:53,992 --> 00:12:57,950
I thank you for all of your

166
00:12:57,950 --> 00:12:57,763
hard work and I look forward to

167
00:12:57,763 --> 00:12:58,163

this county.

169
00:13:03,402 --> 00:13:04,360
Thank thank you.

170
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,360
There's nothing here.

171
00:13:07,406 --> 00:13:07,807
Is there anybody online?

172
00:13:07,807 --> 00:13:09,807

176
00:13:22,455 --> 00:13:23,356

177
00:13:23,356 --> 00:13:24,220
I oh my name is dora.

178
00:13:24,220 --> 00:13:26,910
I'm a senior citizen.

179
00:13:26,910 --> 00:13:26,826
I just wanted to comment on the

180
00:13:26,826 --> 00:13:29,226
homeless encampment sweeps that

181
00:13:29,461 --> 00:13:30,196
occurred recently in santa cruz

182
00:13:30,196 --> 00:13:33,196
on monday the twenty seventh

183
00:13:33,299 --> 00:13:33,967

medicine they could not move in

192
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:48,913
time.

193
00:13:49,816 --> 00:13:50,517
These sweeps happened in the

194
00:13:50,517 --> 00:13:51,218
middle of a stretch of nights

195
00:13:51,218 --> 00:13:53,687
that were so cold that the

196
00:13:53,687 --> 00:13:56,870
emergency shelters were open

197
00:13:57,257 --> 00:13:58,910
and full nd just before a week

198
00:13:58,910 --> 00:13:58,726
brain hey also happened to

199
00:13:58,726 --> 00:14:01,194
just three ays before the

200
00:14:01,194 --> 00:14:01,861
point in time counts which for

201
00:14:01,861 --> 00:14:04,765
anyone who doesn't know is a

202
00:14:04,765 --> 00:14:05,399
visual census of the homeless

203
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,799
population in santa cruz.

204
00:14:08,970 --> 00:14:09,670
These sweep's were brutal and

205
00:14:09,670 --> 00:14:12,807
put so many people's lives at

206
00:14:12,807 --> 00:14:13,474
risk destroying their survival

207
00:14:13,474 --> 00:14:14,108
equipment during some of the

208
00:14:14,108 --> 00:14:16,108
coldest, harshest, wettest

209
00:14:16,844 --> 00:14:17,678
nights of our year in what was

210
00:14:17,678 --> 00:14:20,915
clearly an attempt to force our

211
00:14:20,915 --> 00:14:21,516
homeless population to hide

212
00:14:21,516 --> 00:14:21,849
before the point in time

213
00:14:21,849 --> 00:14:22,550
counts.

214
00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:25,190
We all know that sleeping

215
00:14:25,190 --> 00:14:25,520
encampments doesn't make people

216
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,520
any less homeless.

217
00:14:28,389 --> 00:14:29,900
It just traumatizes them

218
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:29,591
physically and mentally and

219
00:14:29,591 --> 00:14:31,591
sets any progress.

220
00:14:32,527 --> 00:14:33,194
They believe that displacing

221
00:14:33,194 --> 00:14:33,595
homeless people is obviously

222
00:14:33,595 --> 00:14:35,595
ineffective.

223
00:14:36,898 --> 00:14:40,202
A waste of ur taxpayer money

224
00:14:40,202 --> 00:14:41,102
and so cruel especially when

225
00:14:41,102 --> 00:14:41,837
they have nowhere else to go.

226
00:14:41,837 --> 00:14:44,237
Our shelters are full.

227
00:14:44,505 --> 00:14:45,240
I urge you guys to do anything

228
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,100
in your power to take resources

229
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:48,710
meant for sweeps like this and

230
00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:51,613
put them towards literally any

231
00:14:51,613 --> 00:14:51,946
kind of support for homeless

232
00:14:51,946 --> 00:14:52,314
people.

233
00:14:52,314 --> 00:14:54,314
Thank you.

234
00:14:58,454 --> 00:15:00,454
Thank you.

235
00:15:03,326 --> 00:15:06,562
I learned about hi my name is

236
00:15:06,562 --> 00:15:07,363
athena from santa cruz so I

237
00:15:07,363 --> 00:15:08,630
learned about the sweeps that

238
00:15:08,630 --> 00:15:08,731
happened on monday the twenty

239
00:15:08,731 --> 00:15:10,665
seventh from an article that

240
00:15:10,665 --> 00:15:11,768
was posted on the out.

241
00:15:11,768 --> 00:15:14,604
They said that there were seven

242
00:15:14,604 --> 00:15:15,504
arrests taken that day.

243
00:15:15,504 --> 00:15:16,205
They said that they was just

244
00:15:16,205 --> 00:15:18,641
three days before the point in

245
00:15:18,641 --> 00:15:19,676
time out.

246
00:15:19,676 --> 00:15:22,779
I am a really concerned citizen

247
00:15:22,779 --> 00:15:23,413
that it seems like santa cruz

248
00:15:23,413 --> 00:15:26,282
city as well as santa cruz

249
00:15:26,282 --> 00:15:27,217
county might be on purposely

250
00:15:27,217 --> 00:15:27,651
messing with the point in time

251
00:15:27,651 --> 00:15:29,651
count census.

252
00:15:29,819 --> 00:15:30,620
There is both sheriffs, chp and

253
00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:33,590
police there that day on the

254
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:34,223
monday the 27th actively

255
00:15:34,223 --> 00:15:36,223
displacing people, putting

256
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:39,296
people in jail right before a

257
00:15:39,296 --> 00:15:41,296
time count.

258
00:15:42,332 --> 00:15:43,200
I am really, really concerned

259
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,734
that there is a process of

260
00:15:43,734 --> 00:15:45,734
making people hide.

261
00:15:47,103 --> 00:15:47,871
I think making eople hide is

262
00:15:47,871 --> 00:15:50,207
one of the most ehumanizing

263
00:15:50,207 --> 00:15:53,477
things that this county does to

264
00:15:53,477 --> 00:15:54,512
our homeless folk.

265
00:15:54,512 --> 00:15:55,212
I have friends that can't call

266
00:15:55,212 --> 00:15:57,612
the ambulance because they're

267
00:15:57,747 --> 00:15:58,416
afraid that the ambulance

268
00:15:58,416 --> 00:15:59,116
coming to where they are

269
00:15:59,116 --> 00:16:00,718
residing is going to out them

270
00:16:00,718 --> 00:16:01,319
and they are going to be back

271
00:16:01,319 --> 00:16:02,119
on to the streets.

272
00:16:02,119 --> 00:16:04,722
I have friends who are

273
00:16:04,722 --> 00:16:05,556
terrified.

274
00:16:05,556 --> 00:16:08,556
I have friends who are

275
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,426
sleeping, sleep deprivation,

276
00:16:09,426 --> 00:16:10,940
displacement are some of the

277
00:16:10,940 --> 00:16:12,730
most cruel tortures that you

278
00:16:12,730 --> 00:16:13,398
can put humans through and we

279
00:16:13,398 --> 00:16:16,398
have a process across the

280
00:16:16,434 --> 00:16:17,350
entire county of regulatory

281
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:17,402
torturing our homeless

282
00:16:17,402 --> 00:16:19,402
residents.

283
00:16:20,772 --> 00:16:21,673
These are community members.

284
00:16:21,673 --> 00:16:24,809
They pick up trash, they talk

285
00:16:24,809 --> 00:16:25,710
to kids, they talk to adults.

286
00:16:25,710 --> 00:16:26,770
They are playing music in the

287
00:16:26,770 --> 00:16:28,770
courtyard.

288
00:16:28,746 --> 00:16:29,147
They are sharing their

289
00:16:29,147 --> 00:16:29,881
information.

290
00:16:29,881 --> 00:16:32,783
These are active members of our

291
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:33,418
community that our police and

292
00:16:33,418 --> 00:16:36,418
parks and rec officers are

293
00:16:36,622 --> 00:16:37,656
actively torturing.

294
00:16:37,656 --> 00:16:40,392
This is not ok and it's a waste

295
00:16:40,392 --> 00:16:41,225
of money sweeping people does

296
00:16:41,225 --> 00:16:41,593
not make people get into

297
00:16:41,593 --> 00:16:43,593
services.

298
00:16:44,530 --> 00:16:45,330
The shelters are full.

299
00:16:45,330 --> 00:16:46,131
The winter shelter is full.

300
00:16:46,131 --> 00:16:48,968
there's no reason to continue

301
00:16:48,968 --> 00:16:49,768
torturing people and spending

302
00:16:49,768 --> 00:16:52,304
so much money on a high police

303
00:16:52,304 --> 00:16:52,838
force that show up in mass and

304
00:16:52,838 --> 00:16:54,838
makes mass arrests.

305
00:16:55,707 --> 00:16:56,409
Sweeps are just purely torture

306
00:16:56,409 --> 00:16:59,245
and interrupting the point in

307
00:16:59,245 --> 00:17:00,279
time count by making people

308
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:02,547
hide should be illegal and

309
00:17:02,547 --> 00:17:04,547
should be investigated.

310
00:17:06,819 --> 00:17:07,253
Thank you.

311
00:17:07,253 --> 00:17:09,253
Good morning.

312
00:17:10,490 --> 00:17:11,124
I'm greg benson.

313
00:17:11,124 --> 00:17:13,124
I'm homeless.

314
00:17:14,894 --> 00:17:15,595
I reside in a tree as goes

315
00:17:15,595 --> 00:17:16,290
district five just met monica

316
00:17:16,290 --> 00:17:18,290
this morning.

317
00:17:18,598 --> 00:17:20,598
Thank.

318
00:17:22,802 --> 00:17:23,470
I do realize that a certain

319
00:17:23,470 --> 00:17:25,870
level of social engineering

320
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,640
does need to pressure my

321
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:31,310
homeless community into seeking

322
00:17:31,310 --> 00:17:31,678
services to the greatest extent

323
00:17:31,678 --> 00:17:33,678
they can.

324
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:36,414
But what's happening currently

325
00:17:38,850 --> 00:17:40,554
is absurd and level of just

326
00:17:40,554 --> 00:17:42,954
psychological mayhem that it's

327
00:17:45,250 --> 00:17:47,425
causing and the physical

328
00:17:48,329 --> 00:17:51,329
aftereffects it's it's sad and

329
00:17:51,399 --> 00:17:55,599
I think we I think santa cruz

330
00:17:55,669 --> 00:17:59,269
county has a better way a

331
00:18:02,610 --> 00:18:03,411
moderate medium path that that

332
00:18:03,411 --> 00:18:06,411
does encourage people to seek

333
00:18:07,215 --> 00:18:07,916
services but doesn't crush them

334
00:18:07,916 --> 00:18:10,852
to the point where they can't

335
00:18:10,852 --> 00:18:13,852
even make a decision about

336
00:18:14,456 --> 00:18:15,156
things and happy although I do

337
00:18:15,156 --> 00:18:15,891
appreciate the women's shelter

338
00:18:15,891 --> 00:18:18,493
when it's open and when it's

339
00:18:18,493 --> 00:18:21,493
not soldier capacity like the

340
00:18:22,464 --> 00:18:26,670
two nights ago and then in a in

341
00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:26,868
a parked two blocks away and

342
00:18:26,868 --> 00:18:29,505
get woken up at 3:00 in the

343
00:18:29,505 --> 00:18:29,938
morning lightly by santa

344
00:18:29,938 --> 00:18:30,706
observatory.

345
00:18:30,706 --> 00:18:33,706
They've always been very polite

346
00:18:34,243 --> 00:18:34,944
to me when they were still

347
00:18:34,944 --> 00:18:38,800
three in the morning and it's

348
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:38,347
freezing out and where do we

349
00:18:38,347 --> 00:18:40,347
go.

350
00:18:40,850 --> 00:18:43,250
they have no answer.

351
00:18:45,321 --> 00:18:46,220
No answer so we just stay there

352
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:48,958
and then we get rousted again

353
00:18:48,958 --> 00:18:51,958
at 7:00 in the morning like

354
00:18:52,661 --> 00:18:53,329
they wait a bit.

355
00:18:53,329 --> 00:18:55,729
Where do we go?

356
00:18:59,702 --> 00:19:00,502
I mean they're is no peace if

357
00:19:00,502 --> 00:19:03,502
that you're thinking caps and

358
00:19:04,107 --> 00:19:04,908
I'll continue bringing friends

359
00:19:04,908 --> 00:19:08,110
and we'll be at city council

360
00:19:08,110 --> 00:19:08,378
this afternoon speaking to

361
00:19:08,378 --> 00:19:10,378
thank you.

362
00:19:18,622 --> 00:19:19,823
Thank you.

363
00:19:19,823 --> 00:19:23,227
Good morning and thank you for

364
00:19:23,227 --> 00:19:24,270
this forum.

365
00:19:24,270 --> 00:19:26,829
In the wake of the mars

366
00:19:26,829 --> 00:19:27,664
landing, this job facility fire

367
00:19:27,664 --> 00:19:30,668
I'm here to urge you to enact

368
00:19:30,668 --> 00:19:31,302
an emergency moratorium on

369
00:19:31,302 --> 00:19:31,902
lithium battery using best

370
00:19:31,902 --> 00:19:32,235
facilities in santa cruz

371
00:19:32,235 --> 00:19:34,235
county.

372
00:19:34,905 --> 00:19:35,773
Weld county staff works with

373
00:19:35,773 --> 00:19:38,800
new leaf energy and independent

374
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:38,709
industry experts to identify

375
00:19:38,709 --> 00:19:41,709
where we want best facilities

376
00:19:42,446 --> 00:19:43,247
developed and safety regulation

377
00:19:43,247 --> 00:19:43,848
that actually protect the

378
00:19:43,848 --> 00:19:44,514
safety and health of our

379
00:19:44,514 --> 00:19:46,514
community, our agricultural

380
00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:47,852
infrastructure which is very

381
00:19:47,852 --> 00:19:49,921
precious and our natural

382
00:19:49,921 --> 00:19:50,822
environment.

383
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:51,388
I also urge you to establish an

384
00:19:51,388 --> 00:19:53,388
advisory committee of

385
00:19:53,758 --> 00:19:54,459
independent professional

386
00:19:54,459 --> 00:19:55,126
industry experts to advise the

387
00:19:55,126 --> 00:19:57,526
county board on appropriate

388
00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:59,430
siting and regulation that

389
00:19:59,430 --> 00:20:00,300

390
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:02,300
restrictive than current

regulation the movement that

392
00:20:03,668 --> 00:20:06,680
questions the wisdom of

393
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:07,572
investing long term in lithium

394
00:20:07,572 --> 00:20:09,972

396
00:20:10,809 --> 00:20:13,209

00:20:17,649 --> 00:20:18,283
investigation of appropriate

401

403
00:20:21,987 --> 00:20:22,855
In JANUARY of twenty twenty

405
00:20:25,858 --> 00:20:26,692
plans to build the best

406
00:20:26,692 --> 00:20:27,359

00:21:00,827 --> 00:21:01,628
the property.

431
00:21:01,628 --> 00:21:04,364
The facility sited on it is

432
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:07,668
surrounded by acres of fuel in

433
00:21:07,668 --> 00:21:08,669
the event of a wildfire I.

434
00:21:08,669 --> 00:21:11,171
I agree that energy storage is

435
00:21:11,171 --> 00:21:11,872
a critically needed resource to

436
00:21:11,872 --> 00:21:14,272
achieve a carbonated electric

437
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:15,976
grid and I agree with the

438
00:21:15,976 --> 00:21:17,111
concept behind it but it must

439
00:21:17,111 --> 00:21:19,146
not be done at the cost of our

440
00:21:19,146 --> 00:21:19,813
safety and our precious

441
00:21:19,813 --> 00:21:20,113
environment and agricultural

442
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:22,113
land.

443
00:21:23,417 --> 00:21:24,510
I urge you again to please put

444
00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:25,819
an emergency moratorium in

445
00:21:25,819 --> 00:21:26,620
place to give us all time to

446
00:21:26,620 --> 00:21:29,200
think through this process.

447
00:21:34,161 --> 00:21:34,561
Please.

448
00:21:34,561 --> 00:21:36,561
Good orning.

449
00:21:37,698 --> 00:21:38,699
Welcome here.

450
00:21:38,699 --> 00:21:41,635
i just want to thank everybody

451
00:21:41,635 --> 00:21:45,235
for speaking I I concur with

452
00:21:45,907 --> 00:21:46,908
the garbage.

453
00:21:46,908 --> 00:21:50,211
Recycle is a big thing if you

454
00:21:50,211 --> 00:21:50,878
look you can make kind of make

455
00:21:50,878 --> 00:21:51,479
it to the door without just

456
00:21:51,479 --> 00:21:53,479
seeing a non-recyclable

457
00:21:54,482 --> 00:21:56,917
situation and so I think it

458
00:21:56,917 --> 00:21:57,953
matters.

459
00:21:57,953 --> 00:22:01,256
I agree with the power tools

460
00:22:01,256 --> 00:22:04,256
and the blowers and stuff.

461
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:05,660
I'm that's why I like to sweep

462
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:08,330
it does take a little extra

463
00:22:08,330 --> 00:22:09,310
time but it is worth it and I I

464
00:22:09,310 --> 00:22:12,310
agree with the homeless thing.

465
00:22:12,801 --> 00:22:13,802
I've been there I am homeless.

466
00:22:13,802 --> 00:22:16,105
I understand how it feels to

467
00:22:16,105 --> 00:22:19,105
lose everything in one quick

468
00:22:20,176 --> 00:22:23,176
decision by an officer that

469
00:22:23,946 --> 00:22:26,816
maybe didn't think it through.

470
00:22:26,816 --> 00:22:27,650
So also I just was going to

471
00:22:27,650 --> 00:22:28,351
review some of the things here

472
00:22:28,351 --> 00:22:31,319
today that you guys are going

473
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:32,120
to be speaking on and thank you

474
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:35,240
for again for your community

475
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:35,757
service.

476
00:22:35,757 --> 00:22:38,757
But it says consent agenda

477
00:22:39,128 --> 00:22:39,461
number 12 staff request to be

478
00:22:39,461 --> 00:22:40,163
deleted.

479
00:22:40,163 --> 00:22:43,399
I was just helping you make

480
00:22:43,399 --> 00:22:44,199
sure that you if that is the

481
00:22:44,199 --> 00:22:47,604
case if you can please just

482
00:22:47,604 --> 00:22:48,237
make a comment on it and give

483
00:22:48,237 --> 00:22:51,237
reason or whatever it is.

484
00:22:53,876 --> 00:22:54,478
Thank you.

485
00:22:54,478 --> 00:22:55,211
Good morning.

486
00:22:55,211 --> 00:22:58,211
My name is gregory ardino.

487
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,149
I live on district two.

488
00:22:59,149 --> 00:23:02,118
I've been in this county for

489
00:23:02,118 --> 00:23:04,688
thirty eight years and in this

490
00:23:04,688 --> 00:23:04,936
district for twenty over twenty

491
00:23:04,936 --> 00:23:05,856
.

492
00:23:05,856 --> 00:23:09,456
I need to voice my concern

493
00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:10,761
about the best facility going

494
00:23:10,761 --> 00:23:13,564
90 meter road the planning of

495
00:23:13,564 --> 00:23:14,231
it newly energy is telling you

496
00:23:14,231 --> 00:23:17,231
that the battery system they

497
00:23:17,468 --> 00:23:18,135
intend to use is safe, that it

498
00:23:18,135 --> 00:23:20,871
is lithium ion phosphate not

499
00:23:20,871 --> 00:23:22,871
lithium ion.

500
00:23:24,675 --> 00:23:25,376
this type of battery can also

501
00:23:25,376 --> 00:23:25,743
experienced a thermal runaway

502
00:23:25,743 --> 00:23:27,743
incident.

503
00:23:27,979 --> 00:23:28,379
It is not one hundred percent

504
00:23:28,379 --> 00:23:30,379
fallible.

505
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:35,719
It will burn at a higher

506
00:23:35,719 --> 00:23:36,855
temperature which means what it

507
00:23:36,855 --> 00:23:39,924
will tell you many good things

508
00:23:39,924 --> 00:23:40,725
about the next gen technology.

509
00:23:40,725 --> 00:23:43,725
They themselves have said that

510
00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:44,696
their best should be in an

511
00:23:44,696 --> 00:23:46,696
industrial commercial zone

512
00:23:47,165 --> 00:23:47,865
location minto road is neither

513
00:23:47,865 --> 00:23:50,865
of these orange county just

514
00:23:52,237 --> 00:23:52,804
passed a moratorium on any

515
00:23:52,804 --> 00:23:55,400
besse in their county.

516
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,740
There is other battery tech

517
00:23:56,740 --> 00:24:00,770
that is not that does not burn.

518
00:24:00,770 --> 00:24:00,512
It will be available in three

519
00:24:00,512 --> 00:24:02,512
to four years.

520
00:24:03,881 --> 00:24:04,550
Dang is timing for that close

521
00:24:04,550 --> 00:24:05,317
to having better technology.

522
00:24:05,317 --> 00:24:07,717
That's what's happening with

523
00:24:10,256 --> 00:24:11,156
this electronics new leaf will

524
00:24:11,156 --> 00:24:14,126
sell you on how safe it is and

525
00:24:14,126 --> 00:24:16,796
work with you until they can't

526
00:24:16,796 --> 00:24:17,596
then they will go around you

527
00:24:17,596 --> 00:24:18,297
directly to the state where

528
00:24:18,297 --> 00:24:21,297
they have permission for these

529
00:24:21,967 --> 00:24:22,702
best facility.

530
00:24:22,702 --> 00:24:25,371
Then what assembly bill three

531
00:24:25,371 --> 00:24:26,172
or three gives control the

532
00:24:26,172 --> 00:24:29,575
power back to you to decide on

533
00:24:29,575 --> 00:24:30,276
these facilities we all need to

534
00:24:30,276 --> 00:24:33,276
call our state assembly member

535
00:24:33,313 --> 00:24:36,913
and support in support of ab

536
00:24:36,983 --> 00:24:37,984
three 03.

537
00:24:37,984 --> 00:24:40,387
We need to have control of this

538
00:24:40,387 --> 00:24:41,210
here in our county not at the

539
00:24:41,210 --> 00:24:43,421
state level in sacramento.

540
00:24:44,557 --> 00:24:45,258
I not in electronics or

541
00:24:45,258 --> 00:24:47,258
electrical electrical ngineer.

542
00:24:48,295 --> 00:24:48,595
I have spoken to a couple of

543
00:24:48,595 --> 00:24:49,396
them.

544
00:24:49,396 --> 00:24:52,332
They are all saying that these

545
00:24:52,332 --> 00:24:55,332
lithium ion batteries are nasty

546
00:24:55,801 --> 00:24:56,436
when they burn they are so

547
00:24:56,436 --> 00:24:58,436
please educate yourselves.

548
00:25:02,142 --> 00:25:04,142
Thank you.

549
00:25:05,980 --> 00:25:06,947
Good morning baude.

00:25:14,188 --> 00:25:14,922
introduce myself to the new

555

the semitones grant tricorp as

559
00:25:22,864 --> 00:25:25,767
some of you MAY know, semih

560
00:25:25,767 --> 00:25:26,433
does open a college savings

561
00:25:26,433 --> 00:25:26,935
account for every newborn in

562
00:25:26,935 --> 00:25:28,935
santacruz county.

563
00:25:29,904 --> 00:25:30,905
This effort has changed the way

564
00:25:30,905 --> 00:25:31,706
we welcome each baby into our

565
00:25:31,706 --> 00:25:34,241
county, planting the seeds of

566
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:35,420
opportunity from the very

567
00:25:35,420 --> 00:25:38,420
beginning to date we have

568
00:25:38,145 --> 00:25:38,780
opened over eleven thousand

569
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:41,180
babies at eleven thousand

570
00:25:42,150 --> 00:25:42,818
accounts for babies across the

571
00:25:42,818 --> 00:25:44,818
county with approximately 50

572
00:25:45,860 --> 00:25:45,887
percent from south county and

573
00:25:45,887 --> 00:25:48,887
thirty percent from santa cruz

574
00:25:48,957 --> 00:25:49,458
and the remainder from the rest

575
00:25:49,458 --> 00:25:50,158
the jurisdictions.

576
00:25:50,158 --> 00:25:52,895
Through our annual surveys we

577
00:25:52,895 --> 00:25:53,561
have seen a meaningful impact

578
00:25:53,561 --> 00:25:55,961
on families aspirations and

579
00:25:56,799 --> 00:25:57,599
expectations for their

580
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,999
children's futures not only

581
00:26:01,470 --> 00:26:02,204
about 36 percent as they meet

582
00:26:02,204 --> 00:26:02,838

when it comes to safeguarding

613
00:26:52,890 --> 00:26:52,990

Tank you.

621
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,308
Good morning board.

622
00:27:10,308 --> 00:27:13,308
My name is becky steinbrunner.

623
00:27:14,780 --> 00:27:16,748
I live in the aptos hills.

624
00:27:16,748 --> 00:27:17,582
I was disappointed a bit

625
00:27:17,582 --> 00:27:19,982
surprised to see there's

626
00:27:21,386 --> 00:27:24,986
nothing on the agenda today to

627
00:27:25,156 --> 00:27:25,790
formally discuss any of the

628
00:27:25,790 --> 00:27:27,790
proposals that supervisor

629
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:28,994
konate put forth to you at your

630
00:27:28,994 --> 00:27:31,394
last meeting regarding the

631
00:27:32,364 --> 00:27:34,764
county proposed battery energy

632
00:27:36,435 --> 00:27:38,835
storage system vss ordinance

633
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,239
that is in the works.

634
00:27:41,239 --> 00:27:44,777
I would like to ask that this

635
00:27:44,777 --> 00:27:47,845
issue be on every single one of

636
00:27:47,845 --> 00:27:48,646
your agendas so that you can

637
00:27:48,646 --> 00:27:51,149
openly discuss it and the

638
00:27:51,149 --> 00:27:54,149
public can come to you.

639
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,200
I spent last week researching

640
00:27:59,291 --> 00:28:00,920
this proposal that is now in

641
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,920
permit process for the nineteen

642
00:28:03,863 --> 00:28:07,266
montoro vss and our new leaf

643
00:28:07,266 --> 00:28:09,666
submitted by swift consulting.

644
00:28:10,837 --> 00:28:11,471
I was amazed to see they had

645
00:28:11,471 --> 00:28:13,871
the wrong fire department

646
00:28:14,908 --> 00:28:15,875
listed on their application.

647
00:28:15,875 --> 00:28:18,875
Maybe that's why our valley

648
00:28:18,945 --> 00:28:19,746
fire district didn't know about

649
00:28:19,746 --> 00:28:22,746
the hearing the public meeting

650
00:28:23,550 --> 00:28:26,419
that nearly held before filing

651
00:28:26,419 --> 00:28:27,420
the application last DECEMBER.

652
00:28:27,420 --> 00:28:30,390
Maybe that's why they didn't

653
00:28:30,390 --> 00:28:31,224
know because they weren't

654
00:28:31,224 --> 00:28:34,127
listed as the proper fire

655
00:28:34,127 --> 00:28:34,995
department.

656
00:28:34,995 --> 00:28:37,995
That postcard went out to

657
00:28:37,998 --> 00:28:38,999
probably very few people.

658
00:28:38,999 --> 00:28:41,935
Postcard didn't have a time on

659
00:28:41,935 --> 00:28:42,336
it when that public meeting

660
00:28:42,336 --> 00:28:43,169
happened.

661
00:28:43,169 --> 00:28:46,730
It was improper noticing and it

662
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:46,874
must be stopped.

663
00:28:46,874 --> 00:28:50,277
It must be done again and

664
00:28:50,277 --> 00:28:51,112
properly notice I was surprised

665
00:28:51,112 --> 00:28:53,714
to see that there's so little

666
00:28:53,714 --> 00:28:54,415
spacing between the battery

667
00:28:54,415 --> 00:28:57,415
storage units proposed by this

668
00:28:58,118 --> 00:28:59,153
developer.

669
00:28:59,153 --> 00:29:02,523
I was surprised to see that

670
00:29:02,523 --> 00:29:05,292
chibbaro knows the very dense

671
00:29:05,292 --> 00:29:06,930
affordable housing was not

672
00:29:06,930 --> 00:29:09,930
listed as a sensitive eceptor.

673
00:29:09,264 --> 00:29:10,298
It is ery nearby.

674
00:29:10,298 --> 00:29:11,990
There are a lot of people very

675
00:29:11,990 --> 00:29:13,435
nearby that were not listed as

676
00:29:13,435 --> 00:29:14,335
sensitive symptoms.

677
00:29:14,335 --> 00:29:14,769
Please put this on your next

678
00:29:14,769 --> 00:29:15,136
board meeting.

679
00:29:15,136 --> 00:29:17,136
Thank you.

680
00:29:17,505 --> 00:29:19,505
Thank you.

681

Good morning.

690
00:29:36,910 --> 00:29:36,925
This is gene brockbank I this

691
00:29:36,925 --> 00:29:40,525
is the first board meeting that

692
00:29:41,163 --> 00:29:41,830
I was not able to access on my

693
00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:44,230
own computer the interactive

694
00:29:45,568 --> 00:29:48,971
online agenda so that I could

695
00:29:48,971 --> 00:29:49,805
study every single topic which

696
00:29:49,805 --> 00:29:52,942
I have done every board meeting

697
00:29:52,942 --> 00:29:54,760
for years.

698
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:55,978
I could not do this because you

699
00:29:55,978 --> 00:29:58,978
now have a new interactive

700
00:30:00,490 --> 00:30:01,840
online system that my macintosh

701
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,840
laptop computer which at which

702
00:30:05,555 --> 00:30:08,555
it's operating system cannot be

703
00:30:09,359 --> 00:30:09,993
updated I I cannot no longer

704
00:30:09,993 --> 00:30:12,393
access the board meetings.

705
00:30:13,496 --> 00:30:17,100
I am able to access the any

706
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:20,100
board meeting agenda items and

707
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:24,570
staff reports up until twenty

708
00:30:24,774 --> 00:30:25,709
twenty four from now on I

709
00:30:25,709 --> 00:30:28,709
cannot I'm wondering how many

710
00:30:29,412 --> 00:30:30,213
other people in the county of

711
00:30:30,213 --> 00:30:33,213
santa cruz who have older

712
00:30:40,624 --> 00:30:41,325
computers that are functioning

713
00:30:41,325 --> 00:30:42,259
perfectly well for everything

714
00:30:42,259 --> 00:30:43,260
else but can no longer access

715
00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:44,495
board meeting materials or I

716
00:30:44,495 --> 00:30:48,950
used to submit comments to you

717
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:49,500
this new system is very user

718
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:51,500
unfriendly.

719
00:30:52,769 --> 00:30:53,438
It has and you know me well

720
00:30:53,438 --> 00:30:56,274
enough to know that I am

721
00:30:56,274 --> 00:30:57,108
capable on a computer to

722
00:30:57,108 --> 00:31:00,708
interact with you as a board

723
00:31:01,212 --> 00:31:02,212
but I can no longer do that.

724
00:31:02,212 --> 00:31:04,582
I understand that the system

725
00:31:04,582 --> 00:31:06,582
was changed recently.

726
00:31:08,186 --> 00:31:09,187
I'm asking the board to do

727
00:31:09,187 --> 00:31:12,787
whatever they can to have that

728
00:31:13,290 --> 00:31:15,290
particular system retrofitted

729
00:31:16,761 --> 00:31:19,761
somehow or other to allow

730
00:31:20,650 --> 00:31:23,665
everyone to be able to use

731
00:31:24,535 --> 00:31:27,535
otherwise ou're you've made it

732
00:31:28,540 --> 00:31:29,208
more difficult for the public

733
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:32,208
to interact with you online.

734
00:31:35,981 --> 00:31:36,815

My name is diane nicole.

741
00:31:52,198 --> 00:31:52,831
As you are aware scientists

742
00:31:52,831 --> 00:31:55,734
have found levels of toxic

743
00:31:55,734 --> 00:31:58,734
heavy metals that elkhorn flu

744
00:31:59,500 --> 00:31:59,506
are one 100 to 1000 times

745
00:31:59,506 --> 00:32:01,506
higher than prior.

746
00:32:03,276 --> 00:32:03,944
The moss landing fire monterey

747
00:32:03,944 --> 00:32:06,944
county is testing its soils

748
00:32:07,113 --> 00:32:07,781
with the help of the california

749
00:32:07,781 --> 00:32:08,181

750
00:32:08,181 --> 00:32:10,181

751
00:32:10,917 --> 00:32:14,187
I requesting the board for our

752
00:32:14,187 --> 00:32:15,220

similarly to do a directive a

754
00:32:18,158 --> 00:32:18,759

757
00:32:22,362 --> 00:32:23,397

759
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:29,700
help our county with testing

760
00:32:30,571 --> 00:32:31,572
our soils in this county that

761
00:32:31,572 --> 00:32:34,275
begins about a mile or two from

762
00:32:34,275 --> 00:32:35,142
osland.

763
00:32:35,142 --> 00:32:38,790
There is no good reason for

764
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:38,913
santa cruz to not do at

765
00:32:38,913 --> 00:32:41,913
monterey county is doing and

766
00:32:42,182 --> 00:32:42,884
availing itself of taking

767
00:32:42,884 --> 00:32:45,386
advantage of the services that

768
00:32:45,386 --> 00:32:46,187
this state offers without

769
00:32:46,187 --> 00:32:49,787
charge as reported in the last

770
00:32:50,358 --> 00:32:51,159
meeting by montrezl officials,

771
00:32:51,159 --> 00:32:53,995
the toxic plume blew north and

772
00:32:53,995 --> 00:32:56,995
northeast during part of the

773
00:32:57,310 --> 00:32:58,660
fire.

774
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:00,466
These chemicals are extremely

775
00:33:01,803 --> 00:33:05,403
toxic and even after the fire

776
00:33:05,507 --> 00:33:06,308
stops reading epa fact sheet,

777
00:33:06,308 --> 00:33:08,708
lithium ion batteries can

778
00:33:09,611 --> 00:33:12,110
spontaneously ignite explode in

779
00:33:12,281 --> 00:33:13,810
the toxic gases of particulate

780
00:33:13,810 --> 00:33:16,585
even after the fire is out.

781
00:33:16,585 --> 00:33:18,985
Thank you very much.

782
00:33:19,888 --> 00:33:20,889
I hope that you will even if

783
00:33:20,889 --> 00:33:24,126
you'll just reach out to our

784
00:33:24,126 --> 00:33:24,927
county health department and

785
00:33:24,927 --> 00:33:27,927
encourage them to be persistent

786
00:33:28,130 --> 00:33:31,133
with the cal epa epartment of

787
00:33:31,133 --> 00:33:31,600
toxic substances so we can use

788
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,600
these services.

789
00:33:39,275 --> 00:33:40,143
Thank you.

790
00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:40,510
And your microphone is now

791
00:33:40,510 --> 00:33:42,510
available.

792
00:33:43,779 --> 00:33:44,800
Thank you so much, tim delaney

793
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,800
here.

794
00:33:47,851 --> 00:33:50,954
So anyways I got a litany of

795
00:33:50,954 --> 00:33:51,987
things to complain about so

796
00:33:51,987 --> 00:33:54,224
first of all the emergency

797
00:33:54,224 --> 00:33:55,225
battery moratorium otally

798
00:33:55,225 --> 00:33:58,495
agree with the other folks that

799
00:33:58,495 --> 00:33:59,362
just talked about that.

800
00:33:59,362 --> 00:34:01,998
so these energy companies and

801
00:34:01,998 --> 00:34:02,799
everybody and politicians

802
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:03,633
everyone's confused about this.

803
00:34:03,633 --> 00:34:06,370
No one has their act together.

804
00:34:06,370 --> 00:34:09,370
A good example is alpine

805
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:11,410
meadows a couple of days back.

806
00:34:11,410 --> 00:34:14,578
So my powder day was ruined

807
00:34:14,578 --> 00:34:15,379
again because of the energy

808
00:34:15,379 --> 00:34:18,282
company at the polls came down

809
00:34:18,282 --> 00:34:19,183
and everything.

810
00:34:19,183 --> 00:34:20,840
Now just think about this here.

811
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,820
I've been skiing for five

812
00:34:22,820 --> 00:34:26,420
decades and I go around town

813
00:34:26,724 --> 00:34:27,358
here nd all of force and I see

814
00:34:27,358 --> 00:34:30,358
all these old rotten power

815
00:34:30,828 --> 00:34:33,731
poles that are older than me.

816
00:34:33,731 --> 00:34:34,970
So that's got your energy

817
00:34:34,970 --> 00:34:36,970
companies.

818
00:34:37,235 --> 00:34:38,236
They're a bunch of crooks all

819
00:34:38,236 --> 00:34:38,937
over the whole state and think

820
00:34:38,937 --> 00:34:41,937
about trump here releasing the

821
00:34:42,106 --> 00:34:42,774
water, everything and then the

822
00:34:42,774 --> 00:34:45,342
farmers and all that sort of

823
00:34:45,342 --> 00:34:45,577
stuff up up northern california

824
00:34:45,577 --> 00:34:46,578
.

825
00:34:46,578 --> 00:34:49,648
Well, when it gets dry, guess

826
00:34:49,648 --> 00:34:50,348
what's going to happen up in

827
00:34:50,348 --> 00:34:53,348
tahoe in northern california a

828
00:34:53,351 --> 00:34:53,752
bunch of fires.

829
00:34:53,752 --> 00:34:54,686
All right.

830
00:34:54,686 --> 00:34:57,289
So yes, the emergency battery

831
00:34:57,289 --> 00:34:59,289
moratorium is imperative.

832
00:35:01,193 --> 00:35:01,893
Ok, also a presidency built on

833
00:35:01,893 --> 00:35:04,293
attacking the vulnerable that

834
00:35:05,497 --> 00:35:06,331
is that is remarkably weak.

835
00:35:06,331 --> 00:35:09,331
Today's republican s so eager

836
00:35:09,401 --> 00:35:10,436
to be sweet.

837
00:35:10,436 --> 00:35:13,305
Talked by evil, hitler attacked

838
00:35:13,305 --> 00:35:14,106
the vulnerable.

839
00:35:14,106 --> 00:35:17,106
Eisenhower turns in his grave

840
00:35:17,142 --> 00:35:18,110
as today's republicans embrace

841
00:35:18,110 --> 00:35:21,179
the legacy of stalin and hitler

842
00:35:21,179 --> 00:35:21,447
to pieces of the same rotten

843
00:35:21,447 --> 00:35:22,140
GOD.

844
00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:24,140
All right.

845
00:35:25,251 --> 00:35:25,484
Americans despise dictatorship

846
00:35:25,484 --> 00:35:26,352
.

847
00:35:26,352 --> 00:35:29,288
We are against king george as

848
00:35:29,288 --> 00:35:29,989
george is of the world noticed

849
00:35:29,989 --> 00:35:32,989
the frail ego american leaders

850
00:35:33,526 --> 00:35:34,360
do not demand apologies and

851
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,360
love criticism to be an

852
00:35:37,630 --> 00:35:37,997
effective leader you encourage

853
00:35:37,997 --> 00:35:38,364
criticism.

854
00:35:38,364 --> 00:35:40,364
All right.

855
00:35:42,350 --> 00:35:42,335
So that's how I feel about

856
00:35:42,335 --> 00:35:44,335
trump.

857
00:35:44,503 --> 00:35:45,371
I'm really concerned here and

858
00:35:45,371 --> 00:35:48,340
no, I don't like folks messing

859
00:35:48,340 --> 00:35:48,675
with my social security

860
00:35:48,675 --> 00:35:49,420
numbers.

861
00:35:49,420 --> 00:35:50,177
All right.

862
00:35:50,177 --> 00:35:52,979
And drawing the dots to all the

863
00:35:52,979 --> 00:35:53,547
combat veterans going out to

864
00:35:53,547 --> 00:35:55,947
world war one anyways.

865
00:35:56,950 --> 00:36:00,550
You folks have a great day.

866
00:36:03,623 --> 00:36:04,525
Thank you so much, paul.

867
00:36:04,525 --> 00:36:07,525
And use your to your

868
00:36:11,464 --> 00:36:11,932
microphones now available

869
00:36:11,932 --> 00:36:13,932
marilyn gerould.

870
00:36:16,136 --> 00:36:19,640
Yes, we need to act an

871
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,400
emergency moratorium on these

872
00:36:23,277 --> 00:36:23,678
lithium batteries storage

873
00:36:23,678 --> 00:36:25,678
facilities.

874
00:36:27,180 --> 00:36:30,180
This is a technology from

875
00:36:32,530 --> 00:36:35,530
beginning to and from children

876
00:36:35,523 --> 00:36:38,523
in congo and elsewhere mining

877
00:36:39,393 --> 00:36:42,393
for lithium in toxic conditions

878
00:36:43,398 --> 00:36:47,469
and a website where you can see

879
00:36:47,469 --> 00:36:49,869
and learn the extensive

880
00:36:51,340 --> 00:36:53,740
consequences of these batteries

881
00:36:55,844 --> 00:37:00,440
is of fog horn express dot com

882
00:37:03,218 --> 00:37:04,219
and that was a whole issue

883
00:37:04,219 --> 00:37:06,619
somewhere around JANUARY 20 I

884
00:37:08,124 --> 00:37:11,724
thought week a whole episode on

885
00:37:11,994 --> 00:37:15,594
these lithium out or is if

886
00:37:15,598 --> 00:37:18,598
something is hazardous in all

887
00:37:19,469 --> 00:37:20,269
its aspects and these chemical

888
00:37:20,269 --> 00:37:23,269
that have poisoned salad bowl

889
00:37:27,310 --> 00:37:28,143
of us are nanoparticles.

890
00:37:28,143 --> 00:37:30,543
You can't remove them.

891
00:37:31,514 --> 00:37:31,915
You have to prevent in the

892
00:37:31,915 --> 00:37:33,915
first place.

893
00:37:34,484 --> 00:37:37,484
That's the only way regulating

894
00:37:39,189 --> 00:37:42,459
it so that they can continue

895
00:37:42,459 --> 00:37:43,260
with their poisoning and other

896
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:46,260
struction is not going to

897
00:37:46,862 --> 00:37:47,864
protect the public.

898
00:37:47,864 --> 00:37:50,801
I want to invite people to a

899

center tonight.

906
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:15,459
We need to prohibit this and

907
00:38:15,459 --> 00:38:18,763
any of this should be taken out

908
00:38:18,763 --> 00:38:21,163
of the planning department

909
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:22,800

910

Thank you.

912
00:38:30,375 --> 00:38:33,578

922
00:38:44,957 --> 00:38:45,891
labor agreement.

923
00:38:45,891 --> 00:38:46,558
I just want to thank staff for

924
00:38:46,558 --> 00:38:49,610
all their hard work on this.

925
00:38:49,610 --> 00:38:49,695
It was a good long years worth

926
00:38:49,695 --> 00:38:52,950
of work, particularly our

927
00:38:52,564 --> 00:38:53,232
director of general services

928
00:38:53,232 --> 00:38:55,632
michael beaton and assistant

929
00:38:56,402 --> 00:38:57,102
ceo alyssa benson who I know

930
00:38:57,102 --> 00:38:58,690
worked hard on this.

931
00:38:58,690 --> 00:39:00,390
I want to thank the partnership

932
00:39:00,390 --> 00:39:00,840
with the building trades, MS.

933
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:01,474
Vanden heuvel and of course

934
00:39:01,474 --> 00:39:03,776
your work has just begun.

935
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:04,610
We look forward to the hiring

936
00:39:04,610 --> 00:39:07,610
of all those apprentices as

937
00:39:08,281 --> 00:39:08,747
just as I was building out the

938
00:39:08,747 --> 00:39:09,115
local workforce.

939
00:39:09,115 --> 00:39:11,115
Thank you.

940
00:39:12,185 --> 00:39:12,819
On item thirty eight the report

941
00:39:12,819 --> 00:39:15,819
on the healing the streets

942
00:39:15,988 --> 00:39:16,422
program and the crisis grant

943
00:39:16,422 --> 00:39:18,422
pilot program.

944
00:39:18,958 --> 00:39:19,792
I want to think hsa leadership

945
00:39:19,792 --> 00:39:22,896
for all their work standing up

946
00:39:22,896 --> 00:39:23,496
the wenty seven crisis

947
00:39:23,496 --> 00:39:25,896
response really great to

948
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:27,266
finally have that service

949
00:39:27,266 --> 00:39:29,666
available in our community.

950
00:39:30,603 --> 00:39:31,470
it's also really great to see

951
00:39:31,470 --> 00:39:32,172
the success of the healing the

952
00:39:32,172 --> 00:39:34,541
outreach program including the

953
00:39:34,541 --> 00:39:35,275
forty six percent decrease the

954
00:39:35,275 --> 00:39:37,675
psychological distress and just

955
00:39:38,745 --> 00:39:39,479
hoping that state provides a

956
00:39:39,479 --> 00:39:42,479
consistent source of funding to

957
00:39:42,783 --> 00:39:43,484
fulfill this mandate and we can

958
00:39:43,484 --> 00:39:44,118
see denigration of our ability

959
00:39:44,118 --> 00:39:46,120
to get reimbursed through

960
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,210
medicaid now going forward.

961
00:39:47,210 --> 00:39:49,757
But thank you for creating a

962
00:39:49,757 --> 00:39:50,491
legal framework to provide

963
00:39:50,491 --> 00:39:53,491
these services and then finally

964
00:39:54,610 --> 00:39:54,762
on I'm 42 proving the agreement

965
00:39:54,762 --> 00:39:55,496
for a polo grounds scoreboard.

966
00:39:55,496 --> 00:39:57,898
I want to thank the arks

967
00:39:57,898 --> 00:39:58,733
department for thinking

968
00:39:58,733 --> 00:40:02,169

water sources locally and as we

1037
00:41:54,786 --> 00:41:55,520

00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,520

1039
00:41:58,589 --> 00:41:59,324

my personal professional

1053
00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:22,414
experience how valuable these

1054
00:42:22,414 --> 00:42:24,414
dollars are.

1055
00:42:25,784 --> 00:42:29,384
These are grants so above and

1056
00:42:29,954 --> 00:42:30,622

dollars.

1060
00:42:34,426 --> 00:42:37,730
It takes a lot of work to seek

1061
00:42:37,730 --> 00:42:38,970
these grants and to meet the

1062
00:42:38,970 --> 00:42:39,164

1077
00:43:07,661 --> 00:43:10,610
project labor agreement between

1078
00:43:10,931 --> 00:43:11,731

1079
00:43:11,731 --> 00:43:12,399

1080
00:43:12,399 --> 00:43:13,166
everyone for all their hard

1081
00:43:13,166 --> 00:43:15,401
work and patience as we tried

1082
00:43:15,401 --> 00:43:18,905
to get to something that that

1083
00:43:18,905 --> 00:43:19,640
is mutually agreeable and also

1084
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,240
gives us an opportunity to show

1085
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:22,640
how these project labor

1086
00:43:22,976 --> 00:43:23,877

1087
00:43:23,877 --> 00:43:26,613
And so I'm I'm hopeful that

1088
00:43:26,613 --> 00:43:27,281

1089
00:43:27,281 --> 00:43:29,681
fantastic program for our

1090
00:43:30,417 --> 00:43:31,218
community to help as we see an

1091
00:43:31,218 --> 00:43:31,886
aging workforce that's oing to

1092
00:43:31,886 --> 00:43:33,554
be retiring out and getting

1093
00:43:33,554 --> 00:43:34,588
more people into the trades

1094
00:43:34,588 --> 00:43:34,889
which is a very viable career

1095
00:43:34,889 --> 00:43:36,889
path.

1096
00:43:37,792 --> 00:43:38,592
And so I just want to thank

1097
00:43:38,592 --> 00:43:39,293

00:43:42,395 --> 00:43:43,970
time and I hope that some of

1101
00:43:43,970 --> 00:43:45,970
the neighboring jurisdictions

1102
00:43:45,833 --> 00:43:46,734
will consider conducting

1103
00:43:46,734 --> 00:43:47,268
something that similar to what

1104
00:43:47,268 --> 00:43:49,668
we're doing as well.

1105
00:43:50,710 --> 00:43:51,500
I don't have a 38.

1106
00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:51,706
I just want to congratulate our

1107
00:43:51,706 --> 00:43:54,108

00:43:54,675 --> 00:43:56,675
24/7 crisis response.

1110
00:43:56,711 --> 00:43:57,345
This is something that back in

1111
00:43:57,345 --> 00:43:57,979
2020 everybody was really

1112
00:43:57,979 --> 00:44:00,979
saying we need more social

1113
00:44:01,950 --> 00:44:02,617
workers engaging people

1114
00:44:02,617 --> 00:44:03,284
engaging with people who are

1115
00:44:03,284 --> 00:44:05,187
having mental health crisis.

1116
00:44:05,187 --> 00:44:06,221
These are not long horsemen and

1117
00:44:06,221 --> 00:44:10,225
it just goes to show, you know,

1118
00:44:10,225 --> 00:44:12,225

1120
00:44:14,290 --> 00:44:14,795

00:44:14,795 --> 00:44:17,132

00:44:18,667 --> 00:44:20,802
struggling in our community.

1125
00:44:20,802 --> 00:44:21,470
And so I look forward of

1126
00:44:21,470 --> 00:44:23,870
continuing to support these

1127
00:44:24,674 --> 00:44:25,707

1128
00:44:25,707 --> 00:44:26,375

1129
00:44:26,375 --> 00:44:28,310
people in our community and

1130
00:44:28,310 --> 00:44:31,310

1131
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:32,714

this.

1135
00:44:36,752 --> 00:44:39,655
This is an example of a project

1136
00:44:39,655 --> 00:44:40,489
that came in below that

1137
00:44:40,489 --> 00:44:42,725
estimated cost and so I just

1138
00:44:42,725 --> 00:44:43,526

1142
00:44:48,970 --> 00:44:50,497
the residents of davenport

1143
00:44:51,334 --> 00:44:52,135
700000 gallons I believe that

1144
00:44:52,135 --> 00:44:55,710
we use as backup storage for

1145
00:44:55,710 --> 00:44:55,872
the towns ater supply.

1146
00:44:55,872 --> 00:44:59,176
So really grateful that we have

1147
00:44:59,176 --> 00:44:59,609
this going on for the residents

1148
00:44:59,609 --> 00:45:00,276
of davenport.

1149
00:45:00,276 --> 00:45:02,312
That concludes my comments.

1150
00:45:02,312 --> 00:45:03,130
oh, and I will just say to the

1151
00:45:03,130 --> 00:45:03,679

1152
00:45:03,679 --> 00:45:05,749
today about homelessness and

1153
00:45:05,749 --> 00:45:06,716
the homeless sweep's.

1154
00:45:06,716 --> 00:45:07,584
I understand and please correct

1155
00:45:07,584 --> 00:45:10,420
me if I'm wrong, but the county

1156
00:45:10,420 --> 00:45:13,924

1344
00:51:49,931 --> 00:51:50,732
thirty to twenty thirty six the

1345
00:51:50,732 --> 00:51:53,732
bonds that are eligible for

1346
00:51:53,836 --> 00:51:54,737
refinancing at this moment are

1347
00:51:54,737 --> 00:51:57,772
two series of bonds issued in

1348
00:51:57,772 --> 00:51:58,574
twenty fifteen series a and b

1349
00:51:58,574 --> 00:52:01,574
and a twenty sixteen series

1350
00:52:02,344 --> 00:52:05,114
only the twenty fifteen series

1351
00:52:05,114 --> 00:52:05,847
and the twenty sixteen bonds

1352
00:52:05,847 --> 00:52:06,549
have sufficient savings to make

1353
00:52:06,549 --> 00:52:08,949
refinancing economical at this

1354
00:52:14,570 --> 00:52:14,758
time this slide summarizes the

1355
00:52:14,758 --> 00:52:17,758
existing interest rates on the

1356
00:52:18,610 --> 00:52:18,662
outstanding bonds estimated

1357
00:52:18,662 --> 00:52:21,620
interest rates on the

1358
00:52:21,865 --> 00:52:22,599
refinancing how much nnual

1359
00:52:22,599 --> 00:52:25,599
savings we anticipate as well

1360
00:52:26,203 --> 00:52:27,204
as the total annual saving.

1361
00:52:27,204 --> 00:52:29,206
S you can see that the average

1362
00:52:29,206 --> 00:52:30,400
reduction in debt service is

1363
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,876
expected to be seven point five

1364
00:52:32,876 --> 00:52:33,510
percent or a total of almost

1365
00:52:33,510 --> 00:52:35,910
eight point eight dollars

1366
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:37,681
million because this will

1367
00:52:37,681 --> 00:52:40,681
reduce the amount of tax

1368
00:52:40,985 --> 00:52:41,685
increment or are what we call

1369
00:52:41,685 --> 00:52:44,850
our etf redevelopment property

1370
00:52:44,254 --> 00:52:45,289
tax trust fund funding required

1371
00:52:45,289 --> 00:52:47,958
to pay debt service on the

1372
00:52:47,958 --> 00:52:48,259
redevelopment successor agency

1373
00:52:48,259 --> 00:52:50,259
bonds.

1374
00:52:51,929 --> 00:52:52,563
Those savings get distributed

1375
00:52:52,563 --> 00:52:54,963
among the different taxing

1376
00:52:56,133 --> 00:52:56,733
entities in accordance with a

1377
00:52:56,733 --> 00:52:59,133
formula the county gets

1378
00:52:59,737 --> 00:53:00,939
thirteen point two percent.

1379
00:53:00,939 --> 00:53:03,441
County districts will get three

1380
00:53:03,441 --> 00:53:04,174
point five six percent.

1381
00:53:04,174 --> 00:53:06,574
That's like the library

1382
00:53:06,878 --> 00:53:07,679
district and then the schools

1383
00:53:07,679 --> 00:53:08,313
and colleges and other special

1384
00:53:08,313 --> 00:53:10,713
districts will get the

1385
00:53:11,820 --> 00:53:11,916
remainder.

1386
00:53:11,916 --> 00:53:14,316
So we're anticipating those

1387
00:53:15,387 --> 00:53:16,530
will benefit by about seven

1388
00:53:16,530 --> 00:53:17,989
point three dollars million.

1389
00:53:17,989 --> 00:53:20,989
The county will benefit by

1390
00:53:22,260 --> 00:53:23,128
about one point five million.

1391
00:53:23,128 --> 00:53:25,964
The process of dissolution of

1392
00:53:25,964 --> 00:53:26,598
redevelopment requires the

1393
00:53:26,598 --> 00:53:28,998
successor agency to first

1394
00:53:29,834 --> 00:53:30,869
approve the refinancing and

1395
00:53:30,869 --> 00:53:31,603
then it will go to the

1396
00:53:31,603 --> 00:53:33,972
consolidated oversight board to

1397
00:53:33,972 --> 00:53:35,700
approve the refinancing.

1398
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:35,708
Then it is presented to the

1399
00:53:35,708 --> 00:53:37,810
department of finance and they

1400
00:53:37,810 --> 00:53:41,410
have sixty days to review the

1401
00:53:41,580 --> 00:53:42,281
documentation and provide their

1402
00:53:42,281 --> 00:53:44,784
authorization to proceed so we

1403
00:53:44,784 --> 00:53:45,618
don't anticipate the bonds will

1404
00:53:45,618 --> 00:53:48,180
be issued until JUNE.

1405
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:49,922
The funding will be available

1406
00:53:49,922 --> 00:53:50,623
for a SEPTEMBER one twenty five

1407
00:53:50,623 --> 00:53:53,230
twenty twenty five redemption

1408
00:53:53,426 --> 00:53:55,826
of the outstanding bonds.

1409
00:53:57,130 --> 00:53:57,797
So the recommended action is to

1410
00:53:57,797 --> 00:54:00,197
approve the resolution which

1411
00:54:00,933 --> 00:54:01,934
approves a form of an indenture

1412
00:54:01,934 --> 00:54:05,534
of trust for the bonds to

1413
00:54:05,537 --> 00:54:06,372
escrow agreements, an official

1414
00:54:06,372 --> 00:54:07,600
notice of sale, the preliminary

1415
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,406
official statement and the

1416
00:54:09,409 --> 00:54:09,809
continuing disclosure

1417
00:54:09,809 --> 00:54:10,477
certificate.

1418
00:54:10,477 --> 00:54:13,313
The bonds are expected to be

1419
00:54:13,313 --> 00:54:15,713
sold at competitive sale.

1420
00:54:17,584 --> 00:54:18,217
It also authorizes a not to

1421
00:54:18,217 --> 00:54:20,617
exceed ninety five million

1422
00:54:21,321 --> 00:54:22,156
which is the amount we expect

1423
00:54:22,156 --> 00:54:24,724
to be required to pay off the

1424
00:54:24,724 --> 00:54:25,392
old bonds and the savings in

1425
00:54:25,392 --> 00:54:27,792
accordance with the county's

1426
00:54:28,662 --> 00:54:29,295
debt policy must be greater

1427
00:54:29,295 --> 00:54:32,295
than four percent and that

1428
00:54:33,667 --> 00:54:34,101
concludes my report if you have

1429
00:54:34,101 --> 00:54:34,902
any questions.

1430
00:54:34,902 --> 00:54:36,971

1431
00:54:36,971 --> 00:54:37,638

can explain what these bonds

1461
00:55:35,897 --> 00:55:37,897
are funding.

1462
00:55:39,402 --> 00:55:40,303
What is the reason that our

1463
00:55:40,303 --> 00:55:40,603
county has gone into debt like

1464
00:55:40,603 --> 00:55:42,603
this?

1465
00:55:43,439 --> 00:55:43,906
What are the projects that they

1466
00:55:43,906 --> 00:55:45,906
are supporting?

1467
00:55:46,809 --> 00:55:48,809
Thank you.

I see no speakers no longer

1470
00:55:56,353 --> 00:55:58,355
with that I'll bring it back to

00:55:58,355 --> 00:55:58,588
the board to entertain a motion

1472
00:55:58,588 --> 00:55:59,589
.

1473
00:55:59,589 --> 00:56:00,390
I just wanted to see if we

1474
00:56:00,390 --> 00:56:02,125
could get a response from staff

1475
00:56:02,125 --> 00:56:05,162
to a question that was just

1476
00:56:05,162 --> 00:56:07,162
raised.

1477
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:09,733
Sure, the redevelopment agency

1478
00:56:09,733 --> 00:56:12,133
funded capital improvements as

1479
00:56:13,470 --> 00:56:14,271
well as low and moderate income

1480
00:56:14,271 --> 00:56:16,671

1481
00:56:17,574 --> 00:56:18,800

00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:20,800

Thank.

1484
00:56:22,346 --> 00:56:23,470
I just want to express my

and as our chair said, we're

1533
00:57:57,577 --> 00:57:58,211
here today to present on the

1534
00:57:58,211 --> 00:58:00,611
twenty twenty five patient

1535
00:58:01,380 --> 00:58:02,115
management project before I get

1536
00:58:02,115 --> 00:58:02,716
going, I'd like to welcome

1537
00:58:02,716 --> 00:58:04,716
supervisors martinez and

1538
00:58:05,285 --> 00:58:06,387
desirably.

1539
00:58:06,387 --> 00:58:09,523
I've had a chance to meet both

1540
00:58:09,523 --> 00:58:10,157
of you and your staff and we're

1541
00:58:10,157 --> 00:58:10,858
really looking forward to

1542
00:58:10,858 --> 00:58:12,760
working with you on all things

1543
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:13,427
transportation in your

1544
00:58:13,427 --> 00:58:15,827
districts looking forward to

1545
00:58:16,764 --> 00:58:20,364
this this term as of today

1546
00:58:20,868 --> 00:58:21,469
we're here again present on the

1547
00:58:21,469 --> 00:58:23,469
24 25 patient management

1548
00:58:24,504 --> 00:58:25,239
project and it'll consist of a

1549
00:58:25,239 --> 00:58:27,639
brief project funding overview.

1550
00:58:28,509 --> 00:58:29,210
we'll talk a little about the

1551
00:58:29,210 --> 00:58:29,844
project locations and some of

1552
00:58:29,844 --> 00:58:32,346
the roads that are in the

1553
00:58:32,346 --> 00:58:33,180
program and then finally we'll

1554
00:58:33,180 --> 00:58:35,580
end with our recommended

1555
00:58:35,617 --> 00:58:36,583
actions.

1556
00:58:36,583 --> 00:58:39,320
Ok, just to cover the project

1557
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,188
funding a little bit.

1558
00:58:40,188 --> 00:58:40,822
This project in particular is

1559
00:58:40,822 --> 00:58:42,822
leveraging several funding

1560
00:58:43,658 --> 00:58:44,359
sources to provide a robust

1561
00:58:44,359 --> 00:58:47,295
paving project for the twenty

1562
00:58:47,295 --> 00:58:47,996
twenty five season that

1563
00:58:47,996 --> 00:58:50,232
integrates multiple sources of

1564
00:58:50,232 --> 00:58:51,320
similar work into a single

1565
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:51,665
project which increases bid

1566
00:58:51,665 --> 00:58:54,650
competition and lowers the

1567
00:58:55,300 --> 00:58:55,604
overall cost of the work the

1568
00:58:55,604 --> 00:58:58,400
project this project in

1569
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,640
particular is largely funded by

1570
00:59:02,444 --> 00:59:03,144
major d which is which is the

1571
00:59:03,144 --> 00:59:03,779
first funding source primarily

1572
00:59:03,779 --> 00:59:05,247
dedicated to a local road

1573
00:59:05,247 --> 00:59:06,315
paving.

1574
00:59:06,315 --> 00:59:09,315
We've been putting out projects

1575
00:59:09,384 --> 00:59:10,286
with measured since it passed.

1576
00:59:10,286 --> 00:59:11,186
They passed in 2016.

1577
00:59:11,186 --> 00:59:13,689
Our irst project came out in

1578
00:59:13,689 --> 00:59:14,323
twenty eighteen and we've

1579
00:59:14,323 --> 00:59:14,724
delivered a project every

1580
00:59:14,724 --> 00:59:16,724
single year.

1581
00:59:17,860 --> 00:59:18,528
I will note that we don't do

1582
00:59:18,528 --> 00:59:18,827
work in every district every

1583
00:59:18,827 --> 00:59:20,827
year.

1584
00:59:21,764 --> 00:59:22,498
Sometimes we some we work at

1585
00:59:22,498 --> 00:59:25,168
the supervisor's offices we opt

1586
00:59:25,168 --> 00:59:28,171
to save money for a larger more

1587
00:59:28,171 --> 00:59:29,172
meaningful project or sometimes

1588
00:59:29,172 --> 00:59:32,307
the funding gets used for other

1589
00:59:32,307 --> 00:59:33,176
projects as well but largely

1590
00:59:33,176 --> 00:59:36,513
we're trying to keep this on

1591
00:59:36,513 --> 00:59:37,314
local road resurfacing.

1592
00:59:37,314 --> 00:59:40,150
So within this project there is

1593
00:59:40,150 --> 00:59:40,750
an rtp grant which is it's

1594
00:59:40,750 --> 00:59:41,484
federal regional surface

1595
00:59:41,484 --> 00:59:43,884
transportation grant which gets

1596
00:59:44,688 --> 00:59:47,491
exchanged to state dollars and

1597
00:59:47,491 --> 00:59:48,491
and again we're using local

1598
00:59:48,491 --> 00:59:51,495
measure d on that is our local

1599
00:59:51,495 --> 00:59:52,396
match.

1600
00:59:52,396 --> 00:59:53,960
and then in addition this

1601
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,231
project has a couple of other

1602
00:59:55,231 --> 00:59:56,233
elements where we're partnering

1603
00:59:56,233 --> 00:59:56,933
both with county parks and the

1604
00:59:56,933 --> 00:59:59,333
county sanitation district to

1605
00:59:59,970 --> 01:00:00,670
integrate some of their paving

1606
01:00:00,670 --> 01:00:01,805
work into this project and we

1607
01:00:01,805 --> 01:00:03,674
try to do that on a year to

1608
01:00:03,674 --> 01:00:04,307
year asis.

1609
01:00:04,307 --> 01:00:04,742
Sometimes it's with other

1610
01:00:04,742 --> 01:00:05,376
jurisdictions.

1611
01:00:05,376 --> 01:00:07,912
For instance, last year we

1612
01:00:07,912 --> 01:00:08,646
partnered the city capitola

1613
01:00:08,646 --> 01:00:11,682
when we're doing paving work on

1614
01:00:11,682 --> 01:00:12,383
the boundaries of the county,

1615
01:00:12,383 --> 01:00:13,500
we'll talk to our neighboring

1616
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:14,919
jurisdictions to see if they

1617
01:00:14,919 --> 01:00:15,953
want to go on with us as well.

1618
01:00:15,953 --> 01:00:16,654
Ok, so with that we're going to

1619
01:00:16,654 --> 01:00:19,230
go into the project locations.

1620
01:00:19,230 --> 01:00:19,557
I'll turn it over to asey.

1621
01:00:19,557 --> 01:00:21,557
All right.

1622
01:00:22,794 --> 01:00:23,628
So thank you, steve.

1623
01:00:23,628 --> 01:00:25,628
Good morning everyone.

1624
01:00:27,980 --> 01:00:30,980
District one we're working in

1625
01:00:30,502 --> 01:00:31,302
the live oak and socal area

1626
01:00:31,302 --> 01:00:33,405
district two we're going to be

1627
01:00:33,405 --> 01:00:33,638
in the seacliff district three

1628
01:00:33,638 --> 01:00:34,606
.

1629
01:00:34,606 --> 01:00:37,809
We're going to be on swanton

1630
01:00:37,809 --> 01:00:38,610
district for the very southern

1631
01:00:38,610 --> 01:00:41,513
part of the county ruggie lane

1632
01:00:41,513 --> 01:00:42,214
and murphy's crossing and

1633
01:00:42,214 --> 01:00:45,214
district five funds were used

1634
01:00:45,617 --> 01:00:46,518
for the mountain charlie storm

1635
01:00:46,518 --> 01:00:49,354
repair and I'm going to go into

1636
01:00:49,354 --> 01:00:50,556
each of those in detail here.

1637
01:00:50,556 --> 01:00:53,424
The district one you can see

1638
01:00:53,424 --> 01:00:56,695
we're doing a lot f work in

1639
01:00:56,695 --> 01:00:57,529
lubbock kind of the story

1640
01:00:57,529 --> 01:01:01,129
behind hat's going on here is

1641
01:01:01,133 --> 01:01:01,934
the portions that stretch as

1642
01:01:01,934 --> 01:01:04,570
you can see in the photo there

1643
01:01:04,570 --> 01:01:05,371
on socal avenue, the frontage

1644
01:01:05,371 --> 01:01:08,371
road, the pure water socal

1645
01:01:08,908 --> 01:01:09,609
project came through and did a

1646
01:01:09,609 --> 01:01:12,412
pipeline and we're required to

1647
01:01:12,412 --> 01:01:13,212
resurface half of the road that

1648
01:01:13,212 --> 01:01:14,470
was affected by their project.

1649
01:01:14,470 --> 01:01:17,470
We're going through the same

1650
01:01:17,500 --> 01:01:17,784
corridors and picking up he

1651
01:01:17,784 --> 01:01:20,385
second half of the road so that

1652
01:01:20,385 --> 01:01:21,200
we can have full road projects

1653
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,420
through all those main

1654
01:01:24,657 --> 01:01:25,358
transport corridors going to

1655
01:01:25,358 --> 01:01:26,920
update the striping green bike

1656
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,492
lanes, enhanced striping for

1657
01:01:28,595 --> 01:01:29,829
safety.

1658
01:01:29,829 --> 01:01:30,631
So we're going to end up with a

1659
01:01:30,631 --> 01:01:33,166
lot of great large stretches of

1660
01:01:33,166 --> 01:01:33,767
roadway to this also doing some

1661
01:01:33,767 --> 01:01:36,167
kind of more traditional

1662
01:01:36,903 --> 01:01:37,470
measure neighborhood work in

1663
01:01:37,470 --> 01:01:39,870
the lifeboat area near

1664
01:01:40,741 --> 01:01:43,577
rodriguez and many district two

1665
01:01:43,577 --> 01:01:44,110
and west again leveraging

1666
01:01:44,110 --> 01:01:46,110
partnerships.

1667
01:01:47,481 --> 01:01:48,215
We have county sanitation this

1668
01:01:48,215 --> 01:01:51,215
winter is working on several

1669
01:01:51,719 --> 01:01:52,286
trenching for main replacements

1670
01:01:52,286 --> 01:01:54,286
in this neighborhood.

1671
01:01:55,322 --> 01:01:55,989
So what we're doing is as a

1672
01:01:55,989 --> 01:01:58,389
requirement of their project

1673
01:01:59,426 --> 01:02:00,610
they would be required to repay

1674
01:02:00,610 --> 01:02:02,461
certain of these streets.

1675
01:02:03,331 --> 01:02:04,198
Instead roads is taking their

1676
01:02:04,198 --> 01:02:06,534
funds and adding measure d to

1677
01:02:06,534 --> 01:02:07,134
that and getting a large

1678
01:02:07,134 --> 01:02:09,134
neighborhood resurfacing

1679
01:02:10,705 --> 01:02:11,506
project in seacliff and this is

1680
01:02:11,506 --> 01:02:12,206
the third seacliff area project

1681
01:02:12,206 --> 01:02:15,760
we've done with measure d and

1682
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:15,743
it will pretty much it's the

1683
01:02:15,743 --> 01:02:16,478
last major area of seacliff

1684
01:02:16,478 --> 01:02:16,878
that we haven't gotten yet with

1685
01:02:16,878 --> 01:02:18,878
the program.

1686
01:02:19,214 --> 01:02:21,616
So this will pretty much make

1687
01:02:21,616 --> 01:02:22,283
seacliff hole when we're done

1688
01:02:22,283 --> 01:02:24,683
district three very excited

1689
01:02:25,687 --> 01:02:26,655
about this one.

1690
01:02:26,655 --> 01:02:29,891
So you spoke about saving funds

1691
01:02:29,891 --> 01:02:30,625
for future work and district

1692
01:02:30,625 --> 01:02:33,528
three has been patiently saving

1693
01:02:33,528 --> 01:02:34,329
funding for five to six years

1694
01:02:34,329 --> 01:02:37,199
to enact this project which

1695
01:02:37,199 --> 01:02:38,433
will get that section of green.

1696
01:02:38,433 --> 01:02:41,236
There is four and a half iles

1697
01:02:41,236 --> 01:02:44,836
which the portion north of that

1698
01:02:45,700 --> 01:02:45,841
was done in I believe 2010 or

1699
01:02:45,841 --> 01:02:49,440
2011 and that was a full paving

1700
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:49,511
job that did a pretty good ob

1701
01:02:49,511 --> 01:02:50,279
on that section.

1702
01:02:50,279 --> 01:02:52,448
But the remainder of the road

1703
01:02:52,448 --> 01:02:53,115
has been needing work for some

1704
01:02:53,115 --> 01:02:54,830
time and we're going to go

1705
01:02:54,830 --> 01:02:56,118
through and do a major repaving

1706
01:02:56,118 --> 01:02:58,518
on all of that.

1707
01:02:59,689 --> 01:03:00,188
So excited about that other

1708
01:03:00,188 --> 01:03:00,923
major goals here.

1709
01:03:00,923 --> 01:03:01,724
District four has been wanting

1710
01:03:01,724 --> 01:03:04,560
us to repave murphy's crossing

1711
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:08,300
for a long time roky lane as

1712
01:03:08,300 --> 01:03:11,630
well and we were able in 2023

1713
01:03:13,570 --> 01:03:14,269
to obtain a grant svp grant to

1714
01:03:14,269 --> 01:03:15,400
through the state and we're

1715
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:18,400
going to leverage that with

1716
01:03:18,108 --> 01:03:18,841
measure funding for the local

1717
01:03:18,841 --> 01:03:21,478
match requirement on that grant

1718
01:03:21,478 --> 01:03:22,511
and we're going to be able to

1719
01:03:22,511 --> 01:03:24,881
do a full death recycle and

1720
01:03:24,881 --> 01:03:25,916
repaving for murphy's crossing

1721
01:03:25,916 --> 01:03:26,216
and a full repaving for ruggie

1722
01:03:26,216 --> 01:03:26,917
lane.

1723
01:03:26,917 --> 01:03:28,919
So that's going to leave those

1724
01:03:28,919 --> 01:03:29,219
major ommute routes in great

1725
01:03:29,219 --> 01:03:29,952
shape.

1726
01:03:29,952 --> 01:03:32,352
District five as mentioned

1727
01:03:33,323 --> 01:03:36,827
before we had an emergency on

1728
01:03:36,827 --> 01:03:37,528
mt. Charlie that pretty much

1729
01:03:37,528 --> 01:03:40,464
major section of roadway just

1730
01:03:40,464 --> 01:03:41,131
slid down the hill to hold the

1731
01:03:41,131 --> 01:03:43,531
whole mountain moved and

1732
01:03:44,868 --> 01:03:45,536
district highest priority was

1733
01:03:45,536 --> 01:03:48,536
to get this community made

1734
01:03:48,639 --> 01:03:49,573
whole again.

1735
01:03:49,573 --> 01:03:50,307
So we did a temporary repair.

1736
01:03:50,307 --> 01:03:52,707
Unfortunately there weren't any

1737
01:03:53,100 --> 01:03:53,811
disaster funds available for

1738
01:03:53,811 --> 01:03:56,481
this project so maitre d had to

1739
01:03:56,481 --> 01:03:57,281
be used to make that work.

1740
01:03:57,281 --> 01:03:59,681
We're continuing to seek

1741
01:04:00,118 --> 01:04:01,152
funding to replace that.

1742
01:04:01,152 --> 01:04:04,550
If we're successful then those

1743
01:04:04,550 --> 01:04:07,550
measure funds would go back

1744
01:04:07,459 --> 01:04:07,892
into other needs for district

1745
01:04:07,892 --> 01:04:08,692
five.

1746
01:04:08,692 --> 01:04:11,920
Another partnership we have

1747
01:04:11,963 --> 01:04:12,830
here is county parks.

1748
01:04:12,830 --> 01:04:15,267
They wanted to resurface moran

1749
01:04:15,267 --> 01:04:16,100
lake parking lot had a similar

1750
01:04:16,100 --> 01:04:16,301
partnership that worked well in

1751
01:04:16,301 --> 01:04:18,301
2023.

1752
01:04:19,204 --> 01:04:19,838
We did their until lake parking

1753
01:04:19,838 --> 01:04:22,838
lot addition to the green

1754
01:04:23,141 --> 01:04:23,442
valley path that we're doing

1755
01:04:23,442 --> 01:04:25,442
there.

1756
01:04:26,911 --> 01:04:27,746
And so this again we're able to

1757
01:04:27,746 --> 01:04:30,482
deliver a lower unit cost for

1758
01:04:30,482 --> 01:04:31,183
them in terms of teel and

1759
01:04:31,183 --> 01:04:34,183
striping and having that work

1760
01:04:34,286 --> 01:04:35,540
in our project but more work in

1761
01:04:35,540 --> 01:04:38,458
our bid which also lowers our

1762
01:04:38,458 --> 01:04:39,580
unit cost so works out well for

1763
01:04:39,580 --> 01:04:42,580
everybody in the work is

1764
01:04:42,193 --> 01:04:42,828
overseen by people that are

1765
01:04:42,828 --> 01:04:43,496
used to watching steel and

1766
01:04:43,496 --> 01:04:44,730
striping go down so we know

1767
01:04:44,730 --> 01:04:45,798
what to look for.

1768
01:04:45,798 --> 01:04:48,568
With that I'll turn it back to

1769
01:04:48,568 --> 01:04:48,801
steve for a recommended actions

1770
01:04:48,801 --> 01:04:49,168
.

1771
01:04:49,168 --> 01:04:49,969
All right.

1772
01:04:49,969 --> 01:04:51,969
Thank you, casey.

1773
01:04:52,871 --> 01:04:53,539
I do want to note just for

1774
01:04:53,539 --> 01:04:55,939
everyone's information so we

1775
01:04:56,475 --> 01:04:57,142
work very closely with each

1776
01:04:57,142 --> 01:04:57,810
supervisor's office on our

1777
01:04:57,810 --> 01:05:00,647
paving program and the roads

1778
01:05:00,647 --> 01:05:01,513
that get included.

1779
01:05:01,513 --> 01:05:02,148
That work usually starts around

1780
01:05:02,148 --> 01:05:05,850
the fall for the following

1781
01:05:05,850 --> 01:05:05,752
seasons project and so we'll

1782
01:05:05,752 --> 01:05:08,621
start orking with your team.

1783
01:05:08,621 --> 01:05:09,422
We'll let you know what our

1784
01:05:09,422 --> 01:05:11,757
ideas are, what we think is up

1785
01:05:11,757 --> 01:05:12,659
and what would be good based

1786
01:05:12,659 --> 01:05:16,129
all a host of different factors

1787
01:05:16,129 --> 01:05:16,830
and so usually in a project

1788
01:05:16,830 --> 01:05:17,564
like this comes to your board

1789
01:05:17,564 --> 01:05:20,200

so we're going to go out to the

1831
01:06:37,813 --> 01:06:41,413
public, see if the public has

1832
01:06:44,253 --> 01:06:46,253
any questions.

1833
01:06:48,291 --> 01:06:49,325
Again, thank steinbrenner,

1834
01:06:49,325 --> 01:06:52,495
PRESIDENT Of rural aptos as a

1835
01:06:52,495 --> 01:06:55,598
member of the public I have

1836
01:06:55,598 --> 01:06:56,399
always wondered how you decide

1837
01:06:56,399 --> 01:06:59,399
where this these paving areas

1838
01:06:59,869 --> 01:07:02,269
are going to be.

1839
01:07:02,773 --> 01:07:03,774
I would really like to see the

1840
01:07:03,774 --> 01:07:06,774
measure g money focused on

1841
01:07:07,276 --> 01:07:09,276
improving maintaining the

1842
01:07:09,947 --> 01:07:12,347
critical evacuation routes in

1843
01:07:14,170 --> 01:07:14,885
our districts.

1844
01:07:14,885 --> 01:07:15,252
It's great for the people in

1845
01:07:15,252 --> 01:07:17,252
seacliff.

1846
01:07:17,955 --> 01:07:18,956
This is their third project.

1847
01:07:18,956 --> 01:07:22,459
What about the other areas of

1848
01:07:22,459 --> 01:07:26,590
district to also think it is

1849
01:07:26,430 --> 01:07:29,734
not right that the county is

1850
01:07:29,734 --> 01:07:30,534
helping so creek water district

1851
01:07:30,534 --> 01:07:33,534
repair the damage that their

1852
01:07:33,871 --> 01:07:34,672
pure water sokal project has

1853
01:07:34,672 --> 01:07:35,106
done on this local avenue

1854
01:07:35,106 --> 01:07:37,106
frontage road.

1855
01:07:37,375 --> 01:07:38,109
It is significant and they've

1856
01:07:38,109 --> 01:07:41,109
done repaving there and they've

1857
01:07:41,579 --> 01:07:42,247
done repaving in other areas

1858
01:07:42,247 --> 01:07:45,482
but I don't think it's right

1859
01:07:45,482 --> 01:07:48,586
for the county to have to go in

1860
01:07:48,586 --> 01:07:49,287
and clean it up and I don't

1861
01:07:49,287 --> 01:07:49,687
think there's room for a bike

1862
01:07:49,687 --> 01:07:51,687
lane there.

1863
01:07:52,791 --> 01:07:54,791
It's very narrow.

1864
01:07:56,940 --> 01:07:59,940
So those are my concerns.

1865
01:08:00,565 --> 01:08:01,266
I am happy to see that the

1866
01:08:01,266 --> 01:08:03,666
county is working efficiently

1867
01:08:04,303 --> 01:08:07,303
with the parks department to

1868
01:08:07,973 --> 01:08:08,773
help pay the parking lots and

1869
01:08:08,773 --> 01:08:11,773
some of the county parks.

1870
01:08:12,770 --> 01:08:15,180
I would like to add the aptos

1871
01:08:15,180 --> 01:08:15,848
village parking lot aptos

1872
01:08:15,848 --> 01:08:18,848
village park parking lot to

1873
01:08:19,151 --> 01:08:22,655
that it is in very serious

1874
01:08:22,655 --> 01:08:23,890
disrepair and that's a very

1875
01:08:23,890 --> 01:08:25,890
popular park.

1876
01:08:26,325 --> 01:08:27,359
It's the hub of the events that

1877
01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:30,290
go on on JULY 4th and other

1878
01:08:30,290 --> 01:08:31,130
events.

1879
01:08:31,130 --> 01:08:34,367
So it really needs work and I'd

1880
01:08:34,367 --> 01:08:35,100
like to see that next year's

1881
01:08:35,100 --> 01:08:38,203
list if we continue this great

1882
01:08:38,203 --> 01:08:39,172
park partnership with parks.

1883
01:08:39,172 --> 01:08:42,609
So if you could someone answer

1884
01:08:42,609 --> 01:08:45,178
my question how you decide this

1885
01:08:45,178 --> 01:08:45,979
these project areas are I to

1886
01:08:45,979 --> 01:08:48,248
very much appreciate that.

1887
01:08:48,248 --> 01:08:50,248
Thank you.

1888
01:08:55,956 --> 01:08:58,956
Online gesture calling user to

1889
01:09:03,897 --> 01:09:06,297
your microphones now available

1890
01:09:08,201 --> 01:09:09,202
and the maryland gerould.

1891
01:09:09,202 --> 01:09:12,806
And as I was listening to your

1892
01:09:12,806 --> 01:09:16,406
report, I was also struck by

1893
01:09:16,410 --> 01:09:19,410
the comment about how the

1894
01:09:19,980 --> 01:09:23,580
county is having to repair the

1895
01:09:24,484 --> 01:09:27,956
damage caused by pure water so

1896
01:09:27,956 --> 01:09:29,157
called project.

1897
01:09:29,157 --> 01:09:32,660
And I was thinking that's just

1898
01:09:32,660 --> 01:09:35,660
part of the damage the

1899
01:09:35,897 --> 01:09:38,897
ramifications I call water and

1900
01:09:39,701 --> 01:09:43,710
i was eating where they talked

1901
01:09:43,710 --> 01:09:44,105
about all the chemicals that

1902
01:09:44,105 --> 01:09:47,705
are in checked and I thought

1903
01:09:47,776 --> 01:09:51,376
this is so damaging every way

1904
01:09:51,579 --> 01:09:55,450
you look at it we need to be

1905
01:09:55,450 --> 01:09:58,450
evaluating projects for all the

1906
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,120
ramifications that damage state

1907
01:10:03,592 --> 01:10:07,329
courts and if there is so much

1908
01:10:07,329 --> 01:10:10,329
damage hey shouldn't be taking

1909
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,236
place and I agree with that

1910
01:10:14,236 --> 01:10:16,236
steinbrunner.

1911
01:10:18,206 --> 01:10:18,507
This just doesn't seem right at

1912
01:10:18,507 --> 01:10:19,441
all.

1913
01:10:19,441 --> 01:10:21,841
The whole project seems

1914
01:10:23,513 --> 01:10:23,845
deceptive and harmful to the

1915
01:10:23,845 --> 01:10:25,845
public.

1916
01:10:29,852 --> 01:10:31,852
Thank you.

1917
01:10:32,287 --> 01:10:34,687
And your microphones are

1918
01:10:36,326 --> 01:10:37,360
available.

1919
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,730
I also yes, I second hose

1920
01:10:40,730 --> 01:10:43,730
concerns that becky had you

1921
01:10:44,501 --> 01:10:45,202
know my concern here is

1922
01:10:45,202 --> 01:10:48,705
obviously for the roads up top

1923
01:10:48,705 --> 01:10:49,539
on sonic and I just like to

1924
01:10:49,539 --> 01:10:52,539
make sure that those are

1925
01:10:52,642 --> 01:10:55,642
maintained and our fire escapes

1926
01:10:56,347 --> 01:10:56,980
are maintained and also I just

1927
01:10:56,980 --> 01:10:59,350
wanted to point out when I

1928
01:10:59,350 --> 01:11:00,150
heard the individuals talking

1929
01:11:00,150 --> 01:11:00,985
about the gas blowers and all

1930
01:11:00,985 --> 01:11:03,554
that sort of stuff, I want to

1931
01:11:03,554 --> 01:11:04,255
make sure that the county

1932
01:11:04,255 --> 01:11:07,255
understands that for our areas

1933
01:11:07,358 --> 01:11:07,992
up top that are unicor rated

1934
01:11:07,992 --> 01:11:10,992
with large plots of land,

1935
01:11:10,995 --> 01:11:11,896
there's a lot of clearing and

1936
01:11:11,896 --> 01:11:14,896
I'm just wondering I hope

1937
01:11:15,299 --> 01:11:15,539
that's not targeted towards us

1938
01:11:15,539 --> 01:11:16,434
.

1939
01:11:16,434 --> 01:11:19,437
You know, I can't imagine for

1940
01:11:19,437 --> 01:11:20,138
the oment right now trying to

1941
01:11:20,138 --> 01:11:22,140
use like an electric chainsaw

1942
01:11:22,140 --> 01:11:23,174
or something or an electric

1943
01:11:23,174 --> 01:11:26,344
blower when I have all this

1944
01:11:26,344 --> 01:11:27,145
land clear and also the road

1945
01:11:27,145 --> 01:11:30,682
behind my home that takes a

1946
01:11:30,682 --> 01:11:30,982
school bus or there's kids on

1947
01:11:30,982 --> 01:11:31,750
that.

1948
01:11:31,750 --> 01:11:34,319
So I don't think the county or

1949
01:11:34,319 --> 01:11:35,850
anyone's going to go after me

1950
01:11:35,850 --> 01:11:38,850
for clearing that and clearing

1951
01:11:38,523 --> 01:11:39,224
the gutter and making sure

1952
01:11:39,224 --> 01:11:42,160
that's safe for my family, my

1953
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:42,961
neighbors and the school system

1954
01:11:42,961 --> 01:11:43,361
that's coming around the corner

1955
01:11:43,361 --> 01:11:45,361
with a bus.

1956
01:11:46,298 --> 01:11:47,165
The only thing I've ever had

1957
01:11:47,165 --> 01:11:47,900
county county folks do is you

1958
01:11:47,900 --> 01:11:50,736
know, they they think me when

1959
01:11:50,736 --> 01:11:51,690
I'm clearing the road with my

1960
01:11:51,690 --> 01:11:53,690
blower.

1961
01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:57,839
So I do understand people in

1962
01:11:58,144 --> 01:11:58,944
the county farther down and

1963
01:11:58,944 --> 01:12:01,614
urban and rural settings with

1964
01:12:01,614 --> 01:12:02,314
regards to glassblowers but

1965
01:12:02,314 --> 01:12:05,751
those sorts of things MAY not

1966
01:12:05,751 --> 01:12:06,840
necessarily apply for all of us

1967
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:06,953
up top.

1968
01:12:06,953 --> 01:12:07,787
So I just want to make sure

1969
01:12:07,787 --> 01:12:09,722
that we have the tools and

1970
01:12:09,722 --> 01:12:10,556
resources, especially if the

1971
01:12:10,556 --> 01:12:13,993
county is not going to be able

1972
01:12:13,993 --> 01:12:14,694
to step in paved oads and and

1973
01:12:14,694 --> 01:12:17,694
clear roads and maintain them

1974
01:12:18,310 --> 01:12:21,234
and so on for us to be able to

1975
01:12:21,234 --> 01:12:21,468
maintain the marcellus anyways

1976
01:12:21,468 --> 01:12:22,202
.

1977
01:12:22,202 --> 01:12:22,969
So those are my concerns.

1978
01:12:22,969 --> 01:12:26,569
You folks have a fine day.

1979
01:12:28,642 --> 01:12:29,276
Thank you very much.

1980
01:12:29,276 --> 01:12:29,576
No further speakers.

1981
01:12:29,576 --> 01:12:30,477
Sure.

1982
01:12:30,477 --> 01:12:32,479
With that I'll bring back to

1983
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:32,845
the board for any questions

1984
01:12:32,845 --> 01:12:33,714
comments.

1985
01:12:33,714 --> 01:12:37,284
I'll start to my level of

1986
01:12:37,284 --> 01:12:37,951
support the kind of picture I

1987
01:12:37,951 --> 01:12:40,821
think the director wasner I

1988
01:12:40,821 --> 01:12:43,821
think MR. Carlson it's always

1989
01:12:44,591 --> 01:12:45,392
both and it's always great to

1990
01:12:45,392 --> 01:12:46,930
look at the roles that we are

1991
01:12:46,930 --> 01:12:46,393
going to get to resurface this

1992
01:12:46,393 --> 01:12:48,362
year.

1993
01:12:48,362 --> 01:12:49,230
And of course we always want to

1994
01:12:49,230 --> 01:12:51,980
do more front of a state of the

1995
01:12:51,980 --> 01:12:51,999
pavement address later this

1996
01:12:51,999 --> 01:12:55,436
year and we'll discuss the fact

1997
01:12:55,436 --> 01:12:56,170
that we should really be

1998
01:12:56,170 --> 01:12:56,771
spending three times as much if

1999
01:12:56,771 --> 01:12:59,406
we wanted to actually be

2000
01:12:59,406 --> 01:13:00,307
maintaining the pavement index

2001
01:13:00,307 --> 01:13:00,575
in our county that we we'd like

2002
01:13:00,575 --> 01:13:02,575
to.

2003
01:13:03,945 --> 01:13:04,745
But that said, you know, we an

2004
01:13:04,745 --> 01:13:07,848
we can take the moment to

2005
01:13:07,848 --> 01:13:08,516
celebrate some of the questions

2006
01:13:08,516 --> 01:13:10,651
were raised about soko creek

2007
01:13:10,651 --> 01:13:11,519
water district and their

2008
01:13:11,519 --> 01:13:12,153
project and I think that we did

2009
01:13:12,153 --> 01:13:14,553
politely request that they

2010
01:13:14,889 --> 01:13:15,489
resurface the entire road and

2011
01:13:15,489 --> 01:13:17,489
they politely declined.

2012
01:13:18,226 --> 01:13:19,600
And so, you know, not wanting

2013
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,230
to get into some nasty dispute

2014
01:13:22,230 --> 01:13:23,365
over that.

2015
01:13:23,365 --> 01:13:23,965
You know, we're moving forward

2016
01:13:23,965 --> 01:13:24,666
with with this and just

2017
01:13:24,666 --> 01:13:26,701
spending the measured money to

2018
01:13:26,701 --> 01:13:27,636
resurface the roads.

2019
01:13:27,636 --> 01:13:30,605
But I mean as the picture

2020
01:13:30,605 --> 01:13:31,730
demonstrated, we're not redoing

2021
01:13:31,730 --> 01:13:32,700
the whole roads.

2022
01:13:32,700 --> 01:13:34,142
So that's got to mean that we

2023
01:13:34,142 --> 01:13:35,430
can do close to twice as much

2024
01:13:35,430 --> 01:13:35,344
for only doing half of the

2025
01:13:35,344 --> 01:13:35,810
road.

2026
01:13:35,810 --> 01:13:37,810
Is that correct?

2027
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:39,314
Correct.

2028
01:13:39,314 --> 01:13:42,885
So just to clarify what's going

2029
01:13:42,885 --> 01:13:43,619
on the utility is required to

2030
01:13:43,619 --> 01:13:46,619
resurface the portion that they

2031
01:13:46,722 --> 01:13:47,220
affect which is half of the

2032
01:13:47,220 --> 01:13:47,756
road.

2033
01:13:47,756 --> 01:13:49,425
So we're not repairing their

2034
01:13:49,425 --> 01:13:50,459
damage.

2035
01:13:50,459 --> 01:13:51,127
We're getting the other half of

2036
01:13:51,127 --> 01:13:54,127
a road that otherwise needed

2037
01:13:54,664 --> 01:13:54,930
resurfacing before they touched

2038
01:13:54,930 --> 01:13:55,698
it.

2039
01:13:55,698 --> 01:13:58,501
So we're trying to make the

2040
01:13:58,501 --> 01:13:59,902
road whole from half a project.

2041
01:13:59,902 --> 01:14:01,871
Yeah, I need to go and check

2042
01:14:01,871 --> 01:14:02,705
the condition index for me.

2043
01:14:02,705 --> 01:14:05,308
You know well before they

2044
01:14:05,308 --> 01:14:06,109
started these projects nd it

2045
01:14:06,109 --> 01:14:06,809
was clear that some sections

2046
01:14:06,809 --> 01:14:09,145
particularly long sokal avenue

2047
01:14:09,145 --> 01:14:10,146
there near the intersections I

2048
01:14:10,146 --> 01:14:10,780
really needed this work already

2049
01:14:10,780 --> 01:14:13,780
and of course then there's

2050
01:14:13,783 --> 01:14:14,484
other construction work

2051
01:14:14,484 --> 01:14:15,151
happening in the area like the

2052
01:14:15,151 --> 01:14:17,551
chanticleer rail bridge that

2053
01:14:17,721 --> 01:14:18,421
I'm sure also being impacted by

2054
01:14:18,421 --> 01:14:21,325
construction which is not the

2055
01:14:21,325 --> 01:14:22,325
water district's full.

2056
01:14:22,325 --> 01:14:24,761
So it'll be great to have that

2057
01:14:24,761 --> 01:14:25,395
on these roads and standard

2058
01:14:25,395 --> 01:14:26,630
condition for that for the

2059
01:14:26,630 --> 01:14:27,764
whole whether the road going

2060
01:14:27,764 --> 01:14:30,764
forward and of course new

2061
01:14:31,602 --> 01:14:34,602
striping and everything to how

2062
01:14:35,873 --> 01:14:36,572
the published question and how

2063
01:14:36,572 --> 01:14:36,907
we decide how these roads are

2064
01:14:36,907 --> 01:14:38,907
chosen.

2065
01:14:39,610 --> 01:14:40,344
I mean I think it's fair to say

2066
01:14:40,344 --> 01:14:41,450
that given the limited budget

2067
01:14:41,450 --> 01:14:43,747
we often start with what's

2068
01:14:43,747 --> 01:14:47,347
needed that for any given year

2069
01:14:47,351 --> 01:14:47,952
and in this case the obviously

2070
01:14:47,952 --> 01:14:50,352
the pure water so-called

2071
01:14:51,254 --> 01:14:52,323
project sort of created this

2072
01:14:52,323 --> 01:14:55,892
need that was at the top of the

2073
01:14:55,892 --> 01:14:56,693
list and then I think it's fair

2074
01:14:56,693 --> 01:14:59,329
to say that then we move out

2075
01:14:59,329 --> 01:14:59,664
geographically from there,

2076
01:14:59,664 --> 01:15:00,731
right?

2077
01:15:00,731 --> 01:15:02,901
I mean is it because of the

2078
01:15:02,901 --> 01:15:03,635
sort cost of picking up

2079
01:15:03,635 --> 01:15:06,137
relocating all the equipment to

2080
01:15:06,137 --> 01:15:06,435
a different part of the county

2081
01:15:06,435 --> 01:15:07,371
?

2082
01:15:07,371 --> 01:15:10,175
I mean typically the way these

2083
01:15:10,175 --> 01:15:10,774
conversations go between you

2084
01:15:10,774 --> 01:15:11,775
guys in my offices.

2085
01:15:11,775 --> 01:15:14,312
Ok, well what is the next

2086
01:15:14,312 --> 01:15:15,113
immediate area to where we have

2087
01:15:15,113 --> 01:15:18,416
to be working that we could

2088
01:15:18,416 --> 01:15:19,251
address in a cost effective way

2089
01:15:19,251 --> 01:15:19,918
to speak a little bit to sort

2090
01:15:19,918 --> 01:15:21,852
of the costs associated with

2091
01:15:21,852 --> 01:15:22,521
trying to do work in different

2092
01:15:22,521 --> 01:15:25,590
parts of the county and the

2093
01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:26,158
savings of doing work in one

2094
01:15:26,158 --> 01:15:26,458
place or general area?

2095
01:15:26,458 --> 01:15:28,458
Sure.

2096
01:15:29,461 --> 01:15:30,695
Yeah, that's a very good point.

2097
01:15:30,695 --> 01:15:33,666
I will say that, ou know, just

2098
01:15:33,666 --> 01:15:34,299
from he outset maitre d was

2099
01:15:34,299 --> 01:15:37,299
passed in the bucket of

2100
01:15:37,735 --> 01:15:38,736
measured money the way it comes

2101
01:15:38,736 --> 01:15:40,739
to us from the rtc it's in the

2102
01:15:40,739 --> 01:15:41,273
neighborhood of safety and

2103
01:15:41,273 --> 01:15:41,974
resurfacing bucket.

2104
01:15:41,974 --> 01:15:44,510
The moneys are always intended

2105
01:15:44,510 --> 01:15:45,511
for neighborhoods.

2106
01:15:45,511 --> 01:15:46,345
This is an area that we were

2107
01:15:46,345 --> 01:15:49,810
very shy on in that we didn't

2108
01:15:49,810 --> 01:15:49,682
have enough money for for that

2109
01:15:49,682 --> 01:15:50,349
for a couple of decades

2110
01:15:50,349 --> 01:15:52,185
actually a better part of a

2111
01:15:52,185 --> 01:15:53,586
couple of decades.

2112
01:15:53,586 --> 01:15:56,289
So ah we did put out a survey

2113
01:15:56,289 --> 01:15:57,323
to ur communities after

2114
01:15:57,323 --> 01:16:00,627
measure d was passed in and

2115
01:16:00,627 --> 01:16:01,361
neighborhood resurfacing was a

2116
01:16:01,361 --> 01:16:04,361
high priority in that survey

2117
01:16:04,831 --> 01:16:08,334
and so our concept has been to

2118
01:16:08,334 --> 01:16:12,105
put a project out and in each

2119
01:16:12,105 --> 01:16:12,906
district as as fast as we can

2120
01:16:12,906 --> 01:16:13,540
really starting from the most

2121
01:16:13,540 --> 01:16:16,540
heavily used roads in our

2122
01:16:16,743 --> 01:16:17,577
neighborhoods and then sort of

2123
01:16:17,577 --> 01:16:18,178
working our way out from that

2124
01:16:18,178 --> 01:16:20,613
I'm a great example is

2125
01:16:20,613 --> 01:16:21,614
justified.

2126
01:16:21,614 --> 01:16:22,249
You know, we started with a

2127
01:16:22,249 --> 01:16:24,649
project in boulder creek.

2128
01:16:25,386 --> 01:16:26,860
We moved on to felton, we moved

2129
01:16:26,860 --> 01:16:27,821
to ben lomond and then with he

2130
01:16:27,821 --> 01:16:28,555
very next year we went back up

2131
01:16:28,555 --> 01:16:29,255
to boulder creek and we started

2132
01:16:29,255 --> 01:16:31,725
doing roads that were more on

2133
01:16:31,725 --> 01:16:32,393
the extremity and so we started

2134
01:16:32,393 --> 01:16:35,663
in town cause I'm down in

2135
01:16:35,663 --> 01:16:36,463
district two we did work down

2136
01:16:36,463 --> 01:16:36,831
in la selva as well as

2137
01:16:36,831 --> 01:16:38,699
seacliff.

2138
01:16:38,699 --> 01:16:39,399
We've also done some work out

2139
01:16:39,399 --> 01:16:40,133
in the korologos area which is

2140
01:16:40,133 --> 01:16:43,170
also in district two as well

2141
01:16:43,170 --> 01:16:44,500
and again focusing on town core

2142
01:16:44,500 --> 01:16:47,141
areas and then working our way

2143
01:16:47,141 --> 01:16:50,741
out from that and as supervisor

2144
01:16:50,845 --> 01:16:51,646
kind of alluded to it doesn't

2145
01:16:51,646 --> 01:16:52,447
make a lot of sense to do a

2146
01:16:52,447 --> 01:16:54,582
road here and they have to pick

2147
01:16:54,582 --> 01:16:55,616
up everything, remobilize nd

2148
01:16:55,616 --> 01:16:59,254
do a road a mile or two away

2149
01:16:59,254 --> 01:17:01,723
and on not and so we when we do

2150
01:17:01,723 --> 01:17:02,390
create a project we do look at

2151
01:17:02,390 --> 01:17:04,790
opportunities within an area

2152
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:06,161
where we can get stuff that's

2153
01:17:06,161 --> 01:17:06,528
really close to each other and

2154
01:17:06,528 --> 01:17:08,528
adjacent.

2155
01:17:09,970 --> 01:17:09,331
And so that's the basic concept

2156
01:17:09,331 --> 01:17:10,297
.

2157
01:17:10,297 --> 01:17:10,932
Again, we work very closely

2158
01:17:10,932 --> 01:17:13,902
with each board member to

2159
01:17:13,902 --> 01:17:14,636
identify where those areas are

2160
01:17:14,636 --> 01:17:17,506
and it's informed by a number

2161
01:17:17,506 --> 01:17:18,507
of different factors.

2162
01:17:18,507 --> 01:17:21,900
Mint condition is one of them

2163
01:17:21,900 --> 01:17:22,100
obviously but neighborhood

2164
01:17:22,100 --> 01:17:25,610
advocacy areas that we know are

2165
01:17:25,813 --> 01:17:26,514
heavily traveled at he most

2166
01:17:26,514 --> 01:17:27,215
people use we're really trying

2167
01:17:27,215 --> 01:17:29,785
to get the most bang for our

2168
01:17:29,785 --> 01:17:32,185
buck for our communities.

2169
01:17:32,654 --> 01:17:33,356
And then I also know that the

2170
01:17:33,356 --> 01:17:36,356
majority of our arterial major

2171
01:17:36,692 --> 01:17:39,920
collector resurfacing is funded

2172
01:17:40,363 --> 01:17:41,296
through the state and federal

2173
01:17:41,296 --> 01:17:41,998
grants that we go for through

2174
01:17:41,998 --> 01:17:44,701
the rtc and you know these are

2175
01:17:44,701 --> 01:17:45,401
roads like so help drive

2176
01:17:45,401 --> 01:17:47,801
freedom boulevard, bear creek

2177
01:17:49,105 --> 01:17:49,739
road, sokal san jose road

2178
01:17:49,739 --> 01:17:50,373
summer roads these are the

2179
01:17:50,373 --> 01:17:53,430
roads that carry the vast

2180
01:17:53,430 --> 01:17:53,743
volume of our commute traffic

2181
01:17:53,743 --> 01:17:56,743
and those are resurfaced with

2182
01:17:57,147 --> 01:17:57,747
other funds and we as much as

2183
01:17:57,747 --> 01:18:00,517
possible we try to keep

2184
01:18:00,517 --> 01:18:01,117
majority in the neighborhoods.

2185
01:18:01,117 --> 01:18:02,170
Yeah, that's right.

2186
01:18:02,170 --> 01:18:02,319
Thank you for bringing that up

2187
01:18:02,319 --> 01:18:04,540
right.

2188
01:18:04,540 --> 01:18:07,540
The consolidated call for grant

2189
01:18:07,357 --> 01:18:08,292
that our rtc puts out every

2190
01:18:08,292 --> 01:18:08,992
couple of years we will have

2191
01:18:08,992 --> 01:18:12,128
one this year right at the end

2192
01:18:12,128 --> 01:18:12,762
of the year and in the past

2193
01:18:12,762 --> 01:18:15,162
we've resurfaced alba and

2194
01:18:15,565 --> 01:18:16,634
jamison in the fifth district.

2195
01:18:16,634 --> 01:18:17,268
Some of those funds we have a

2196
01:18:17,268 --> 01:18:19,668
project moving forward for

2197
01:18:20,370 --> 01:18:23,637
sokal san jose road with use

2198
01:18:23,841 --> 01:18:24,442
those funds and so that's

2199
01:18:24,442 --> 01:18:25,141
definitely another major

2200
01:18:25,141 --> 01:18:27,144
probably the primary source of

2201
01:18:27,144 --> 01:18:30,214
funds for as was mentioned at

2202
01:18:30,214 --> 01:18:31,249
the escape routes or evacuation

2203
01:18:31,249 --> 01:18:34,618
routes rather and some of those

2204
01:18:34,618 --> 01:18:35,520
other materials.

2205
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:36,454
I just one other point to note

2206
01:18:36,454 --> 01:18:41,254
is that we do have to have a

2207
01:18:45,430 --> 01:18:45,896
local match for those larger

2208
01:18:45,896 --> 01:18:46,831
grants as well.

2209
01:18:46,831 --> 01:18:47,532
And so that's becoming

2210
01:18:47,532 --> 01:18:48,990
increasingly difficult for us

2211
01:18:48,990 --> 01:18:48,733
to find a local match.

2212
01:18:48,733 --> 01:18:49,401
Hence why we're using some

2213
01:18:49,401 --> 01:18:50,100
measured funds to match for

2214
01:18:50,100 --> 01:18:50,435
murphy's boogie down in south

2215
01:18:50,435 --> 01:18:50,802
county.

2216
01:18:50,802 --> 01:18:51,469
Thank you.

2217
01:18:51,469 --> 01:18:51,970
Looking forward to the thank

2218
01:18:51,970 --> 01:18:53,405
you as a witness.

2219
01:18:53,405 --> 01:18:54,539
Thank you chair.

2220
01:18:54,539 --> 01:18:57,242
Well thank you to public works

2221
01:18:57,242 --> 01:18:58,430
for the presentation and for

2222
01:18:58,430 --> 01:18:58,710
working with the board offices

2223
01:18:58,710 --> 01:19:01,710
each year to help prioritize

2224
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,383
projects as you can imagine as

2225
01:19:05,383 --> 01:19:06,170
a as a candidate and now the

2226
01:19:06,170 --> 01:19:08,417
new supervisor local road

2227
01:19:09,488 --> 01:19:10,356
resurfacing has been a huge

2228
01:19:10,356 --> 01:19:11,900
issue and there's a lot of

2229
01:19:11,900 --> 01:19:13,425
deferred maintenance and so I'm

2230
01:19:13,425 --> 01:19:14,126
eager to continue to work with

2231
01:19:14,126 --> 01:19:14,426
you to help address these

2232
01:19:14,426 --> 01:19:16,426
needs.

2233
01:19:16,929 --> 01:19:19,329
I absolutely support the

2234
01:19:20,499 --> 01:19:21,200
decision of my predecessor to

2235
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,200
allocate our measured funds to

2236
01:19:24,503 --> 01:19:24,937
do the temporary road fix on

2237
01:19:24,937 --> 01:19:25,704
mount charley.

2238
01:19:25,704 --> 01:19:28,704
I visited mount charley road

2239
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:29,642
several imes and that was a

2240
01:19:29,642 --> 01:19:32,420
real disaster for those

2241
01:19:32,612 --> 01:19:33,446
residents.

2242
01:19:33,446 --> 01:19:34,447
So thank you for your efforts

2243
01:19:34,447 --> 01:19:36,849
to, you know, get in there and

2244
01:19:36,849 --> 01:19:37,884
provide that temporary road.

2245
01:19:37,884 --> 01:19:38,218
I know it's providing a lot of

2246
01:19:38,218 --> 01:19:40,218
relief.

2247
01:19:40,954 --> 01:19:41,654
I do hope that fema will

2248
01:19:41,654 --> 01:19:44,654
someday reimburse us for those

2249
01:19:44,858 --> 01:19:45,558
costs and those dollars would

2250
01:19:45,558 --> 01:19:48,795
then be able to be reallocated

2251
01:19:48,795 --> 01:19:49,796
to address other district needs

2252
01:19:49,796 --> 01:19:52,666
and so will, you know, keep our

2253
01:19:52,666 --> 01:19:53,433
fingers rossed and hope that

2254
01:19:53,433 --> 01:19:55,501
that that MAY happen someday

2255
01:19:55,501 --> 01:19:56,503
down the line.

2256
01:19:56,503 --> 01:19:59,806
And I also want to just

2257
01:19:59,806 --> 01:20:00,507
reiterate that in the next

2258
01:20:00,507 --> 01:20:03,507
fiscal year I anticipate that

2259
01:20:03,610 --> 01:20:04,311
our annual measured allocation

2260
01:20:04,311 --> 01:20:04,912
will resume and that will be

2261
01:20:04,912 --> 01:20:07,312
able to spread pavement

2262
01:20:07,881 --> 01:20:10,281
management program more broadly

2263
01:20:11,318 --> 01:20:12,520
across the fifth district.

2264
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:13,120
I do think that it's important

2265
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,655
for community members to

2266
01:20:14,655 --> 01:20:15,289
understand that this pavement

2267
01:20:15,289 --> 01:20:17,689
management program it's a

2268
01:20:18,693 --> 01:20:19,393
critical way that we address

2269
01:20:19,393 --> 01:20:20,127
road maintenance but it's not

2270
01:20:20,127 --> 01:20:23,364
the only way would you be able

2271
01:20:23,364 --> 01:20:24,310
to speak o other ways that we

2272
01:20:24,310 --> 01:20:26,431
address road improvements on

2273
01:20:26,701 --> 01:20:27,135
more on an ongoing basis here

2274
01:20:27,135 --> 01:20:27,535
in the county?

2275
01:20:27,535 --> 01:20:29,535
Sure.

2276
01:20:31,372 --> 01:20:32,720
So in addition to our pavement

2277
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:34,472
management project, our annual

2278
01:20:34,709 --> 01:20:35,410
pavement management project, we

2279
01:20:35,410 --> 01:20:37,712
do have our annual maintenance

2280
01:20:37,712 --> 01:20:38,513
road maintenance program which

2281
01:20:38,513 --> 01:20:42,150
is run by and large by our

2282
01:20:42,150 --> 01:20:42,851
operations team up in your area

2283
01:20:42,851 --> 01:20:45,586
we run out of our feldon yard

2284
01:20:45,586 --> 01:20:46,788
in the north ounty crew.

2285
01:20:46,788 --> 01:20:49,758
They create a plan every year

2286
01:20:49,758 --> 01:20:50,424
that involves regular ditching,

2287
01:20:50,424 --> 01:20:52,424
regular culvert maintenance,

2288
01:20:53,362 --> 01:20:53,695
regular roadway surface

2289
01:20:53,695 --> 01:20:55,695
repairs.

2290
01:20:57,332 --> 01:20:57,633
The mowing program is under

2291
01:20:57,633 --> 01:20:58,567
them.

2292
01:20:58,567 --> 01:20:59,234
And then of course these are

2293
01:20:59,234 --> 01:20:59,968
the folks that are out there

2294
01:20:59,968 --> 01:21:02,204
doing all of our storm patrol

2295
01:21:02,204 --> 01:21:02,904
during, you know, inclement

2296
01:21:02,904 --> 01:21:05,304
weather and keeping everything

2297
01:21:05,707 --> 01:21:06,575
open as best as possible.

2298
01:21:06,575 --> 01:21:07,342
And so it's a robust program

2299
01:21:07,342 --> 01:21:10,246
this year we'll be presenting

2300
01:21:10,246 --> 01:21:10,813
that year board as part of our

2301
01:21:10,813 --> 01:21:13,616
budget and and it's an

2302
01:21:13,616 --> 01:21:14,449
extensive program is much

2303
01:21:14,449 --> 01:21:15,183
larger than what this pavement

2304
01:21:15,183 --> 01:21:17,583
management project is comprised

2305
01:21:18,154 --> 01:21:18,855
of throughout the county and

2306
01:21:18,855 --> 01:21:21,255
throughout the 600 miles that

2307
01:21:21,691 --> 01:21:22,240
we're responsible to maintain.

2308
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:22,692
Thanks.

2309
01:21:22,692 --> 01:21:23,326
I really appreciate that

2310
01:21:23,326 --> 01:21:25,395
because I know just as a

2311
01:21:25,395 --> 01:21:26,950
resident of the valley I do see

2312
01:21:26,950 --> 01:21:26,963
your teams out there working.

2313
01:21:26,963 --> 01:21:29,199
I appreciate the work that

2314
01:21:29,199 --> 01:21:29,899
you're doing and that sort of

2315
01:21:29,899 --> 01:21:32,299
prevention work helps further

2316
01:21:32,736 --> 01:21:33,202
destruction of roads when

2317
01:21:33,202 --> 01:21:35,202
weather occurs.

2318
01:21:36,539 --> 01:21:37,407
So thank you for that and I can

2319
01:21:37,407 --> 01:21:38,141
I look forward to continuing to

2320
01:21:38,141 --> 01:21:40,677
partner with you to address the

2321
01:21:40,677 --> 01:21:41,378
needs of not only our fifth

2322
01:21:41,378 --> 01:21:41,778
district residents but across

2323
01:21:41,778 --> 01:21:42,144
the county.

2324
01:21:42,144 --> 01:21:44,144
Thank you.

2325
01:21:44,915 --> 01:21:47,751
Thank you or the comments and

2326
01:21:47,751 --> 01:21:48,952
I'll be brief.

2327
01:21:48,952 --> 01:21:52,356
I'll we just want to thank you

2328
01:21:52,356 --> 01:21:54,858
all for your hard work on this

2329
01:21:54,858 --> 01:21:55,659
and for just engaging with us

2330
01:21:55,659 --> 01:21:56,360
and trying to help you know

2331
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:59,960
what we're trying to identify

2332
01:21:59,960 --> 01:21:59,496
which roads we want to

2333
01:21:59,496 --> 01:22:00,197
prioritize.

2334
01:22:00,197 --> 01:22:03,330
It's just really great that we

2335
01:22:03,330 --> 01:22:03,734
can connect with you all and

2336
01:22:03,734 --> 01:22:06,970
use this as an opportunity to

2337
01:22:06,970 --> 01:22:07,605
relay that information to the

2338
01:22:07,605 --> 01:22:08,305
people who live within our

2339
01:22:08,305 --> 01:22:09,740
districts and really make sure

2340
01:22:09,740 --> 01:22:10,608
that we're aligned in terms of

2341
01:22:10,608 --> 01:22:11,342
our priorities the roads and I

2342
01:22:11,342 --> 01:22:13,543
know the folks in the district

2343
01:22:13,543 --> 01:22:14,212
are going to be really happy

2344
01:22:14,212 --> 01:22:14,945
about the improvements this

2345
01:22:14,945 --> 01:22:17,815
mountain road because it's been

2346
01:22:17,815 --> 01:22:18,483
a long time coming and it's

2347
01:22:18,483 --> 01:22:21,483
really just grateful for for

2348
01:22:21,519 --> 01:22:22,219
that and then also just want to

2349
01:22:22,219 --> 01:22:22,921
express my appreciation around

2350
01:22:22,921 --> 01:22:25,921
your willingness o engage with

2351
01:22:26,570 --> 01:22:29,561
us as relates to smaller issues

2352
01:22:29,561 --> 01:22:30,528
like potholes and trends.

2353
01:22:30,528 --> 01:22:33,664
It MAY be a little dangerous

2354
01:22:33,664 --> 01:22:34,465
and just appreciate the the

2355
01:22:34,465 --> 01:22:35,300
willingness to work with us to

2356
01:22:35,300 --> 01:22:37,602
try to address other issues as

2357
01:22:37,602 --> 01:22:40,602
well just being there and

2358
01:22:40,606 --> 01:22:41,305
finally I just knock on want

2359
01:22:41,305 --> 01:22:41,973
this next atmospheric river

2360
01:22:41,973 --> 01:22:44,973
doesn't take out more roads

2361
01:22:45,309 --> 01:22:45,677
because it's about to hit us on

2362
01:22:45,677 --> 01:22:46,445
thursday.

2363
01:22:46,445 --> 01:22:49,214
It looks like it's going to be

2364
01:22:49,214 --> 01:22:49,915
a big storm so hopefully we can

2365
01:22:49,915 --> 01:22:51,817
be prepared for that as well.

2366
01:22:51,817 --> 01:22:52,851
So thank you supervisor.

2367
01:22:52,851 --> 01:22:55,621
I think thank you for the

2368
01:22:55,621 --> 01:22:57,621
report.

2369
01:22:59,624 --> 01:23:00,426
I think my predecessor used my

2370
01:23:00,426 --> 01:23:03,426
allocation for his year to

2371
01:23:04,429 --> 01:23:07,429
amend his budget for the

2372
01:23:08,301 --> 01:23:09,135
seacliff area so

2373
01:23:09,135 --> 01:23:11,535
congratulations to seacliff and

2374
01:23:12,639 --> 01:23:13,439
I used to ive there.

2375
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:14,274
That's where I raised my

2376
01:23:14,274 --> 01:23:15,942
children and I think that's a

2377
01:23:15,942 --> 01:23:17,942
wise choice.

2378
01:23:20,447 --> 01:23:20,680
However, I live in a rural area

2379
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:21,614
.

2380
01:23:21,614 --> 01:23:22,480
Many of my constituents live in

2381
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:24,480
a rural area.

2382
01:23:24,283 --> 01:23:25,385
It is the number one problem

2383
01:23:25,385 --> 01:23:27,787
that all of us in the rural

2384
01:23:27,787 --> 01:23:28,587
areas face are roads that fail

2385
01:23:28,587 --> 01:23:31,587
every year because they're not

2386
01:23:31,791 --> 01:23:32,793
properly maintained.

2387
01:23:32,793 --> 01:23:36,129
So to the extent that as

2388
01:23:36,129 --> 01:23:39,129
somebody in the audience said

2389
01:23:39,833 --> 01:23:40,534
that we can keep our roads that

2390
01:23:40,534 --> 01:23:41,267
are evacuation roads and good

2391
01:23:41,267 --> 01:23:44,104
repair I think of eureka canyon

2392
01:23:44,104 --> 01:23:44,738
for example that is in horrible

2393
01:23:44,738 --> 01:23:47,738
condition and needs to be

2394
01:23:47,941 --> 01:23:48,642
repaired and I know monu can't

2395
01:23:48,642 --> 01:23:49,276
really talk about that because

2396
01:23:49,276 --> 01:23:50,944
his parents live up eureka

2397
01:23:50,944 --> 01:23:52,120
canyon road.

2398
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:55,120
But I have many constituents

2399
01:23:55,490 --> 01:23:55,449
and many friends that live up

2400
01:23:55,449 --> 01:23:56,384
there in it.

2401
01:23:56,384 --> 01:23:56,684
We need to fix it at some

2402
01:23:56,684 --> 01:23:58,684
point.

2403
01:23:59,860 --> 01:23:59,687
So I'm hopeful that we will do

2404
01:23:59,687 --> 01:24:00,521
that in the future.

2405
01:24:00,521 --> 01:24:02,857
My own road trout gulch road,

2406
01:24:02,857 --> 01:24:06,426
the upper areas are in horrible

2407
01:24:06,426 --> 01:24:07,261
condition and I've driven it

2408
01:24:07,261 --> 01:24:07,895
with the road crews and have

2409
01:24:07,895 --> 01:24:10,295
identified areas that were

2410
01:24:10,765 --> 01:24:11,266
actually storm damage from

2411
01:24:11,266 --> 01:24:12,366
years past.

2412
01:24:12,366 --> 01:24:14,436
So I know those are on the list

2413
01:24:14,436 --> 01:24:17,906
now but they hadn't been and so

2414
01:24:17,906 --> 01:24:18,907
I was concerned that it took

2415
01:24:18,907 --> 01:24:22,410
sort of me bringing it to the

2416
01:24:22,410 --> 01:24:25,981
attention of the crews sort of

2417
01:24:25,981 --> 01:24:26,782
years after some of those

2418
01:24:26,782 --> 01:24:29,182
slides and washouts had

2419
01:24:29,750 --> 01:24:31,750
occurred.

2420
01:24:33,455 --> 01:24:34,256
So I actually look forward to

2421
01:24:34,256 --> 01:24:34,923
spending more time with the

2422
01:24:34,923 --> 01:24:36,725
road crews and going out and

2423
01:24:36,725 --> 01:24:37,792
taking a look around with my

2424
01:24:37,792 --> 01:24:38,527
own eyes with them so that we

2425
01:24:38,527 --> 01:24:41,630
can make sure that our rural

2426
01:24:41,630 --> 01:24:41,463
areas are well represented in

2427
01:24:41,463 --> 01:24:43,463
the future.

2428
01:24:45,167 --> 01:24:45,935
Can can we talk about for a

2429
01:24:45,935 --> 01:24:48,704
minute some of the the grants

2430
01:24:48,704 --> 01:24:49,405
that we get because I

2431
01:24:49,405 --> 01:24:50,710
understood that some were

2432
01:24:50,710 --> 01:24:52,975
coming through the rtc that

2433
01:24:52,975 --> 01:24:56,575
might have been redirect to the

2434
01:24:57,460 --> 01:24:57,847
metro budget and then of course

2435
01:24:57,847 --> 01:25:01,830
that concerns me given the poor

2436
01:25:01,830 --> 01:25:01,950
condition of our roads.

2437
01:25:01,950 --> 01:25:04,854
I was wondering if either one

2438
01:25:04,854 --> 01:25:08,240
of you could speak to that.

2439
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:08,791
Sure, I'd be happy to do so.

2440
01:25:08,791 --> 01:25:11,191
The the great opportunities

2441
01:25:11,861 --> 01:25:12,495
that we have at the rtc is

2442
01:25:12,495 --> 01:25:14,895
typically for funding that

2443
01:25:15,365 --> 01:25:16,366
comes to them by formula

2444
01:25:16,366 --> 01:25:19,268
through the state and also the

2445
01:25:19,268 --> 01:25:19,970
federal government and then the

2446
01:25:19,970 --> 01:25:23,106
rtc takes that money in turn

2447
01:25:23,106 --> 01:25:23,840
and makes all the local

2448
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,840
agencies compete for the money.

2449
01:25:26,909 --> 01:25:27,544
And so it's a highly

2450
01:25:27,544 --> 01:25:27,978
competitive process as you

2451
01:25:27,978 --> 01:25:29,978
could imagine.

2452
01:25:30,848 --> 01:25:31,482
We're competing with all the

2453
01:25:31,482 --> 01:25:32,182
other local jurisdictions.

2454
01:25:32,182 --> 01:25:33,884
That's the city of santa cruz,

2455
01:25:33,884 --> 01:25:34,685
city of watsonville city

2456
01:25:34,685 --> 01:25:37,685
capitola city of scotts valley

2457
01:25:38,389 --> 01:25:39,560
but also metro gets to get in

2458
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:41,926
there and compete with with

2459
01:25:41,926 --> 01:25:42,626
road money as well.

2460
01:25:42,626 --> 01:25:43,360
And there's several nonprofits

2461
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:46,163
that are allowed to get to come

2462
01:25:46,163 --> 01:25:46,597
in compete for those funding

2463
01:25:46,597 --> 01:25:48,597
funds as well.

2464
01:25:50,368 --> 01:25:51,340
And so like I said, it's a

2465
01:25:51,340 --> 01:25:53,340
highly competitive program.

2466
01:25:53,971 --> 01:25:54,972
The it's like a bianna program.

2467
01:25:54,972 --> 01:25:56,600
They they try to be what they

2468
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,442
do is they kind of save up all

2469
01:25:58,442 --> 01:25:59,177
the money that come to them by

2470
01:25:59,177 --> 01:25:59,910
formula and then once every two

2471
01:25:59,910 --> 01:26:01,512
years sometimes it's once every

2472
01:26:01,512 --> 01:26:02,213
three years they cobble a bunch

2473
01:26:02,213 --> 01:26:05,213
of different funds or sources

2474
01:26:05,550 --> 01:26:08,520
together to what they call the

2475
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:09,521
rtc consolidated grant program

2476
01:26:09,521 --> 01:26:12,924
and we have to o really hard

2477
01:26:12,924 --> 01:26:13,525
after this money to even get 50

2478
01:26:13,525 --> 01:26:14,559
percent of it.

2479
01:26:14,559 --> 01:26:16,861
And I will say that as an

2480
01:26:16,861 --> 01:26:17,429
example let's say there's

2481
01:26:17,429 --> 01:26:17,796
twenty million dollars

2482
01:26:17,796 --> 01:26:19,796
available.

2483
01:26:19,932 --> 01:26:20,365
We feel like the county should

2484
01:26:20,365 --> 01:26:21,366
be successful.

2485
01:26:21,366 --> 01:26:23,669
We need at east 50 percent of

2486
01:26:23,669 --> 01:26:24,469
those funds we have around

2487
01:26:24,469 --> 01:26:25,137
fifty percent of the population

2488
01:26:25,137 --> 01:26:27,537
and then the unincorporated

2489
01:26:28,540 --> 01:26:29,308
areas we have the worst pci out

2490
01:26:29,308 --> 01:26:32,308
of any of the local

2491
01:26:32,411 --> 01:26:33,111
jurisdictions and we have the

2492
01:26:33,111 --> 01:26:35,447
most road miles and lane miles

2493
01:26:35,447 --> 01:26:36,282
and the most challenging

2494
01:26:36,282 --> 01:26:39,282
terrain to maintain as well.

2495
01:26:40,352 --> 01:26:41,870
And so when we get 50 percent

2496
01:26:41,870 --> 01:26:43,656
or more we feel like that's

2497
01:26:43,656 --> 01:26:44,891
fair.

2498
01:26:44,891 --> 01:26:45,525
There's if you look at the past

2499
01:26:45,525 --> 01:26:46,159
couple of decades of these

2500
01:26:46,159 --> 01:26:47,426
competitions, there's been

2501
01:26:47,426 --> 01:26:48,227
plenty of times where we've

2502
01:26:48,227 --> 01:26:50,595
gotten less and I will say the

2503
01:26:50,595 --> 01:26:51,396
rtc gets to compete for that

2504
01:26:51,396 --> 01:26:52,198
money too as well.

2505
01:26:52,198 --> 01:26:54,598
So it's highly competitive

2506
01:26:54,968 --> 01:26:55,702
process.

2507
01:26:55,702 --> 01:26:56,435
We work really closely with

2508
01:26:56,435 --> 01:26:58,837
with our board members and that

2509
01:26:58,837 --> 01:26:59,671
because you guys all sit on

2510
01:26:59,671 --> 01:27:02,274
that on that commission as well

2511
01:27:02,274 --> 01:27:03,276
and we go hard after money, we

2512
01:27:03,276 --> 01:27:06,120
try to do the very best we can

2513
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:06,579
to balance our assets so that

2514
01:27:06,579 --> 01:27:07,280
we're getting benefit

2515
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,680
throughout the entire 600 mile

2516
01:27:10,418 --> 01:27:10,884
road network nd so we'll look

2517
01:27:10,884 --> 01:27:11,651
forward to that.

2518
01:27:11,651 --> 01:27:14,870
I think the next one is coming

2519
01:27:14,870 --> 01:27:15,880
this fall.

2520
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:15,822
I think the call will come out

2521
01:27:15,822 --> 01:27:18,425
in AUGUST or SEPTEMBER sometime

2522
01:27:18,425 --> 01:27:19,260
usually the grants are due in

2523
01:27:19,260 --> 01:27:21,426
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER and in

2524
01:27:21,495 --> 01:27:22,196
DECEMBER they you know, they

2525
01:27:22,196 --> 01:27:23,130
announce their awards and they

2526
01:27:23,130 --> 01:27:25,366
try to line it up with the

2527
01:27:25,366 --> 01:27:26,100
information that they're

2528
01:27:26,100 --> 01:27:26,800
required to submit to the state

2529
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,603
for the tep program and that's

2530
01:27:29,603 --> 01:27:29,937
really just a part of the

2531
01:27:29,937 --> 01:27:30,671
package.

2532
01:27:30,671 --> 01:27:33,700
Thank you because I don't think

2533
01:27:33,700 --> 01:27:33,873
I need this information before

2534
01:27:33,873 --> 01:27:34,508
and in terms of the nonprofits

2535
01:27:34,508 --> 01:27:37,508
that are competing for the

2536
01:27:37,545 --> 01:27:38,346
money who like who are they

2537
01:27:38,346 --> 01:27:41,249
what I like like santa cruz

2538
01:27:41,249 --> 01:27:41,949
county for their complete

2539
01:27:41,949 --> 01:27:44,349
streets sometimes the friends

2540
01:27:45,419 --> 01:27:46,120
of the rail trail, you know,

2541
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:48,120
local transportation advocacy

2542
01:27:49,900 --> 01:27:49,390
groups.

2543
01:27:49,390 --> 01:27:51,390
Yeah.

2544
01:27:53,261 --> 01:27:53,961
And ah ah well this is a longer

2545
01:27:53,961 --> 01:27:56,898
conversation maybe that I can

2546
01:27:56,898 --> 01:27:57,598
help with you later but ah the

2547
01:27:57,598 --> 01:28:00,598
grants awarded points based on

2548
01:28:01,336 --> 01:28:04,806
how the station you know bike

2549
01:28:04,806 --> 01:28:05,440
lanes they had a scoring's

2550
01:28:05,440 --> 01:28:06,141
system that has several

2551
01:28:06,141 --> 01:28:08,541
different categories you know

2552
01:28:08,810 --> 01:28:09,444
that they weight the scores on

2553
01:28:09,444 --> 01:28:09,811
it's it's really fairly

2554
01:28:09,811 --> 01:28:10,512
organized.

2555
01:28:10,512 --> 01:28:13,512
They have kind of traditional

2556
01:28:13,649 --> 01:28:14,449
application that they've had as

2557
01:28:14,449 --> 01:28:16,852
do so we'd be happy to share

2558
01:28:16,852 --> 01:28:17,686
with you past applications and

2559
01:28:17,686 --> 01:28:21,286
sort of what their program is.

2560
01:28:21,423 --> 01:28:22,124
Ok, and then I MAY ave

2561
01:28:22,124 --> 01:28:25,124
mentioned this once before but

2562
01:28:25,427 --> 01:28:28,364
I would like to again formally

2563
01:28:28,364 --> 01:28:29,265
think trustee theresa bond from

2564
01:28:29,265 --> 01:28:29,632
the los gatos saratoga's school

2565
01:28:29,632 --> 01:28:31,632
district.

2566
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:32,868
She and I worked together to

2567
01:28:32,868 --> 01:28:35,868
get some fema money actually

2568
01:28:36,172 --> 01:28:36,606
released from the usc partment

2569
01:28:36,606 --> 01:28:37,807
of education.

2570
01:28:37,807 --> 01:28:40,709
I was trying to get it for the

2571
01:28:40,709 --> 01:28:43,846
parro parro kids at para middle

2572
01:28:43,846 --> 01:28:44,480
school and I was not successful

2573
01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:46,849
because they were already

2574
01:28:46,849 --> 01:28:47,450
giving us money for the repair

2575
01:28:47,450 --> 01:28:48,384
of the middle school.

2576
01:28:48,384 --> 01:28:51,287
However, we were successful in

2577
01:28:51,287 --> 01:28:52,220
bringing a hundred ninety five

2578
01:28:52,220 --> 01:28:55,325
thousand dollars to the mom and

2579
01:28:55,325 --> 01:28:55,992
charlie community to the school

2580
01:28:55,992 --> 01:28:56,726
district so they could give

2581
01:28:56,726 --> 01:28:58,726
alternate transportation during

2582
01:28:59,362 --> 01:29:00,630
that time and probably still

2583
01:29:00,630 --> 01:29:03,400
using that for the kids there.

2584
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:04,133
So thank you very much teresa

2585
01:29:04,133 --> 01:29:06,603
for including me in that effort

2586
01:29:06,603 --> 01:29:07,360
at first and thanks for the

2587
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:09,360
report today.

2588
01:29:14,244 --> 01:29:14,945
DR. You know some of the

2589
01:29:14,945 --> 01:29:17,345
questions from supervisor just

2590
01:29:18,449 --> 01:29:19,149
kind of reminded me of the last

2591
01:29:19,149 --> 01:29:22,419
conversation I had to do with

2592
01:29:22,419 --> 01:29:23,119
the road assessment and it

2593
01:29:23,119 --> 01:29:25,156
reminded me that metro wanted

2594
01:29:25,156 --> 01:29:25,556
to be part of the break or a

2595
01:29:25,556 --> 01:29:27,556
great area.

2596
01:29:29,393 --> 01:29:29,694
The roads I believe that's the

2597
01:29:29,694 --> 01:29:30,427
case.

2598
01:29:30,427 --> 01:29:33,427
We should consider ixing rural

2599
01:29:33,531 --> 01:29:37,131
roads as part of the metros

2600
01:29:37,401 --> 01:29:38,136
kind of some there are things

2601
01:29:38,136 --> 01:29:38,436
that they want to accomplish as

2602
01:29:38,436 --> 01:29:40,436
well.

2603
01:29:41,506 --> 01:29:44,109
So I'd be happy to entertain

2604
01:29:44,109 --> 01:29:45,109
something like that later on.

2605
01:29:45,109 --> 01:29:48,130
But first I want to thank the

2606
01:29:48,130 --> 01:29:48,747
hard work of community

2607
01:29:48,747 --> 01:29:50,747
development and infrastructure.

2608
01:29:52,217 --> 01:29:52,484
You know, it's often thankless

2609
01:29:52,484 --> 01:29:53,251
job.

2610
01:29:53,251 --> 01:29:56,221
You guys are the unsung heroes

2611
01:29:56,221 --> 01:29:58,621
for most of us.

2612
01:29:59,891 --> 01:30:02,891
My colleagues here rural road

2613
01:30:04,596 --> 01:30:07,666
potholes are the brunt of our

2614
01:30:07,666 --> 01:30:08,734
calls that we get in emails so

2615
01:30:08,734 --> 01:30:09,501
I want to thank you guys for

2616
01:30:09,501 --> 01:30:11,937
all the work that you got done

2617
01:30:11,937 --> 01:30:12,771
you guys have done.

2618
01:30:12,771 --> 01:30:13,405
Actually I've driven eureka

2619
01:30:13,405 --> 01:30:16,405
canyon last week for some

2620
01:30:16,575 --> 01:30:17,376
reason was on highway seventeen

2621
01:30:17,376 --> 01:30:19,678
and it took me after eureka

2622
01:30:19,678 --> 01:30:22,678
occasion I noticed the two

2623
01:30:22,782 --> 01:30:23,583
washouts are built back up and

2624
01:30:23,583 --> 01:30:23,916
there's a lot of pothole

2625
01:30:23,916 --> 01:30:25,916
repair.

2626
01:30:27,386 --> 01:30:27,787
It's it is starting to come up,

2627
01:30:27,787 --> 01:30:29,787
back up out.

2628
01:30:31,391 --> 01:30:32,580
But I'll second you know, back

2629
01:30:32,580 --> 01:30:35,940
up the eureka canyon to be

2630
01:30:35,940 --> 01:30:35,328
repaired as well at some point

2631
01:30:35,328 --> 01:30:36,196
.

2632
01:30:36,196 --> 01:30:39,232
But I want to thank you guys

2633
01:30:39,232 --> 01:30:39,899
for the work that you guys

2634
01:30:39,899 --> 01:30:41,800
brought here today from the

2635
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:43,360
parks.

2636
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:45,436
Now charlie, the seacliff

2637
01:30:46,506 --> 01:30:47,207
repairs all the bike and

2638
01:30:47,207 --> 01:30:49,207
pedestrian infrastructure, the

2639
01:30:50,143 --> 01:30:50,410
bike lanes on sokal, bulgaria

2640
01:30:50,410 --> 01:30:52,410
110.

2641
01:30:54,214 --> 01:30:54,848
But of course no one that I'm

2642
01:30:54,848 --> 01:30:57,818
really happy about is the

2643
01:30:57,818 --> 01:30:58,252
murphy crossing in ruggie

2644
01:30:58,252 --> 01:31:00,252
repairs.

2645
01:31:01,221 --> 01:31:01,855
I do have one question since

2646
01:31:01,855 --> 01:31:02,589
there's a lot there's a

2647
01:31:02,589 --> 01:31:05,589
proximity to the two locations,

2648
01:31:05,659 --> 01:31:06,226
is that going to go as one rfp

2649
01:31:06,226 --> 01:31:08,626
or two separate ones?

2650
01:31:09,663 --> 01:31:10,297
but well they're both in this

2651
01:31:10,297 --> 01:31:13,200
project o they'll get bid

2652
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:13,934
together and you know, our

2653
01:31:13,934 --> 01:31:14,635
anticipation would be is that

2654
01:31:14,635 --> 01:31:16,671
they'd be done by the same

2655
01:31:16,671 --> 01:31:17,138
contractor just about the same

2656
01:31:17,138 --> 01:31:17,438
period of time.

2657
01:31:17,438 --> 01:31:19,438
Okay.

2658
01:31:20,875 --> 01:31:21,676
Well with that I'll bring it

2659
01:31:21,676 --> 01:31:22,760
back to the board to entertain

2660
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,760
motion.

2662
01:31:27,800 --> 01:31:29,800
actions.

2663
01:31:30,852 --> 01:31:34,121
Well, we have a we have a

2664
01:31:34,121 --> 01:31:35,122

and a second from the server.

2666
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:36,323
But can we take a roll call

2667
01:31:36,323 --> 01:31:36,724
vote?

2668
01:31:36,724 --> 01:31:38,393
Absolutely.

2669
01:31:38,393 --> 01:31:40,393
Supervisor hi martinez.

01:32:14,196 --> 01:32:15,310
I'm nicole cowburn, assistant

2688
01:32:15,310 --> 01:32:17,834
ceo and I'm here with ben

2690
01:32:18,567 --> 01:32:20,967
administrative analyst in their

2691
01:32:21,370 --> 01:32:21,838
office and together we're here

2692
01:32:21,838 --> 01:32:24,941
to provide an update on our

2693
01:32:24,941 --> 01:32:25,808
community indicators hese

2694
01:32:25,808 --> 01:32:29,440
measures are what we use to

2695
01:32:29,440 --> 01:32:29,746
track progress on the county's

2696
01:32:29,746 --> 01:32:30,450
strategic plan at a very high

2697
01:32:30,450 --> 01:32:32,450
level.

2698
01:32:33,349 --> 01:32:34,500
This update that you're going

2699
01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:36,152
to receive today reflects

2700
01:32:36,152 --> 01:32:37,187
feedback from the county's data

2701
01:32:37,187 --> 01:32:40,257
and equity team as well as the

2702
01:32:40,257 --> 01:32:42,657
circle on antiracism economic

2703
01:32:44,126 --> 01:32:44,861
and social justice and we're

2704
01:32:44,861 --> 01:32:45,462
here to gather broad input

2705
01:32:45,462 --> 01:32:47,862
before we finalize these

2706
01:32:47,931 --> 01:32:49,132
updates.

2707
01:32:49,132 --> 01:32:49,799
So let's start with an overview

2708
01:32:49,799 --> 01:32:52,169
of what we're going to cover

2709
01:32:52,169 --> 01:32:54,169
today.

2710
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:56,874
So I want to emphasize that

2711
01:32:56,874 --> 01:32:59,977
we're really here to listen to

2712
01:32:59,977 --> 01:33:00,878
you and gather your thoughts

2713
01:33:00,878 --> 01:33:01,612
and hear any feedback you might

2714
01:33:01,612 --> 01:33:04,615
have to ensure that the revised

2715
01:33:04,615 --> 01:33:05,282
indicators reflect the county's

2716
01:33:05,282 --> 01:33:07,682
priorities and in particular

2717
01:33:07,985 --> 01:33:09,530
the board's priorities.

2718
01:33:09,530 --> 01:33:12,423
So let's begin with why we

2719
01:33:12,423 --> 01:33:12,824
track these indicators in the

2720
01:33:12,824 --> 01:33:14,824
first place.

2721
01:33:16,394 --> 01:33:17,280
The county's mission is to be

2722
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:19,428
open, responsive and data

2723
01:33:20,398 --> 01:33:20,999
driven community indicators are

2724
01:33:20,999 --> 01:33:23,999
an essential part of any

2725
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:24,836
strategic plan.

2726
01:33:24,836 --> 01:33:27,236
They measure our results.

2727
01:33:27,405 --> 01:33:28,106
They help us align with our

2728
01:33:28,106 --> 01:33:31,800
partners in the community and

2729
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:31,710
they hold us accountable by

2730
01:33:31,710 --> 01:33:32,409
aligning these indicators with

2731
01:33:32,409 --> 01:33:34,809
our board approved initiatives

2732
01:33:35,514 --> 01:33:36,247
we ensure that efforts across

2733
01:33:36,247 --> 01:33:38,647
county departments and partners

2734
01:33:39,170 --> 01:33:39,684
are working together

2735
01:33:39,684 --> 01:33:41,684
efficiently and effectively.

2736
01:33:43,688 --> 01:33:44,256
Now let's take a look at how

2737
01:33:44,256 --> 01:33:46,256
these indicators were

2738
01:33:46,924 --> 01:33:47,725
originally structured in twenty

2739
01:33:47,725 --> 01:33:50,296
eighteen to twenty twenty four

2740
01:33:50,296 --> 01:33:51,297
strategic plan.

2741
01:33:51,297 --> 01:33:54,897
So back then when the original

2742
01:33:55,401 --> 01:33:56,235
indicators were developed in

2743
01:33:56,235 --> 01:33:59,304
twenty nineteen we had a total

2744
01:33:59,304 --> 01:34:00,106
of twenty five measures spread

2745
01:34:00,106 --> 01:34:03,106
across five focus areas we

2746
01:34:03,643 --> 01:34:04,310
attached a handout to the board

2747
01:34:04,310 --> 01:34:07,380
item that listed all of the

2748
01:34:07,380 --> 01:34:08,181
twenty ive measures in case

2749
01:34:08,181 --> 01:34:11,170
you wanted to take a look at

2750
01:34:11,170 --> 01:34:11,818
what they were they were really

2751
01:34:11,818 --> 01:34:14,286
far reaching ithin each of

2752
01:34:14,286 --> 01:34:14,921
those areas.

2753
01:34:14,921 --> 01:34:15,588
These indicators had been

2754
01:34:15,588 --> 01:34:18,424
helpful in tracking our big

2755
01:34:18,424 --> 01:34:19,580
picture trends and in

2756
01:34:19,580 --> 01:34:22,580
particular in the area of

2757
01:34:22,162 --> 01:34:22,996
homelessness where indicator

2758
01:34:22,996 --> 01:34:23,697
was tied to the board adopted

2759
01:34:23,697 --> 01:34:26,970
housing for healthy santacruz

2760
01:34:26,333 --> 01:34:27,200
framework.

2761
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:30,137
We've been able to see the

2762
01:34:30,137 --> 01:34:30,970
indicators reflect the work and

2763
01:34:30,970 --> 01:34:34,570
results in that area and see

2764
01:34:35,275 --> 01:34:35,976
some improvement over over time

2765
01:34:35,976 --> 01:34:37,978
we've learned that tracking to

2766
01:34:37,978 --> 01:34:38,478
many of these measures can

2767
01:34:38,478 --> 01:34:39,613
create challenges.

2768
01:34:39,613 --> 01:34:42,749
So why are we making these

2769
01:34:42,749 --> 01:34:43,317
changes at this time to the

2770
01:34:43,317 --> 01:34:45,317
community indicators?

2771
01:34:47,121 --> 01:34:48,220
Let's discuss the main reason

2772
01:34:48,220 --> 01:34:48,355
and I'm going to turn it over

2773
01:34:48,355 --> 01:34:48,822
to sven.

2774
01:34:48,822 --> 01:34:50,822
Thanks, nicole.

2775
01:34:50,824 --> 01:34:52,824
Good morning, board.

2776
01:34:54,895 --> 01:34:55,696
So our new indicator's are

2777
01:34:55,696 --> 01:34:55,996
revising and increasing our

2778
01:34:55,996 --> 01:34:57,996
focus.

2779
01:34:58,899 --> 01:34:59,700
We know that when people are

2780
01:34:59,700 --> 01:35:02,603
presented with too many choices

2781
01:35:02,603 --> 01:35:03,271
they become overwhelmed and

2782
01:35:03,271 --> 01:35:06,541
that can lead to a lack of

2783
01:35:06,541 --> 01:35:07,342
focus and a lack of action.

2784
01:35:07,342 --> 01:35:10,211
Most of our reports were

2785
01:35:10,211 --> 01:35:11,112
unconnected to measures that

2786
01:35:11,112 --> 01:35:14,112
tracked in other county reports

2787
01:35:14,816 --> 01:35:15,517
and so there was often a lack

2788
01:35:15,517 --> 01:35:18,520
of alignment and one thing the

2789
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:19,321
board had mentioned last time

2790
01:35:19,321 --> 01:35:22,257
we were here on the strategic

2791
01:35:22,257 --> 01:35:22,924
plan was how we connecting to

2792
01:35:22,924 --> 01:35:25,324
other board initiatives and

2793
01:35:25,460 --> 01:35:26,161
priorities.

2794
01:35:26,161 --> 01:35:26,862
Finally we receive feedback

2795
01:35:26,862 --> 01:35:29,862
that the indicators needed to

2796
01:35:29,898 --> 01:35:30,531
reflect the experiences of all

2797
01:35:30,531 --> 01:35:32,931
communities in the county,

2798
01:35:33,201 --> 01:35:33,902
particularly those were

2799
01:35:33,902 --> 01:35:35,902
historically underrepresented.

2800
01:35:37,306 --> 01:35:38,600
this aligns with our county

2801
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:41,600
equity statement and helps us

2802
01:35:41,210 --> 01:35:41,844
think about what it means for

2803
01:35:41,844 --> 01:35:44,844
all of us to belong.

2804
01:35:45,470 --> 01:35:45,748
So let's look at the proposed

2805
01:35:45,748 --> 01:35:46,315
streamlined indicators and how

2806
01:35:46,315 --> 01:35:48,715
they align with county

2807
01:35:49,500 --> 01:35:50,252
priorities.

2808
01:35:50,252 --> 01:35:53,252
We've reduced the number of

2809
01:35:53,723 --> 01:35:56,723
indicators to eight one per

2810
01:35:57,326 --> 01:35:57,927
focus area making it easier to

2811
01:35:57,927 --> 01:35:58,261
track progress and drive

2812
01:35:58,261 --> 01:36:00,261
action.

2813
01:36:01,530 --> 01:36:02,980
Each indicators directly tied

2814
01:36:02,980 --> 01:36:04,498
to an existing county

2815
01:36:05,334 --> 01:36:06,350
initiative ensuring alignment

2816
01:36:06,350 --> 01:36:09,350
with board approved plans and

2817
01:36:10,373 --> 01:36:11,700
instead of tracking, for

2818
01:36:11,700 --> 01:36:13,700
example, multiple housing

2819
01:36:14,244 --> 01:36:15,450
related indicators separately

2820
01:36:15,450 --> 01:36:18,645
we focus on we're focusing on

2821
01:36:18,682 --> 01:36:21,682
one year housing units added

2822
01:36:22,510 --> 01:36:22,852
which tracks our allocation

2823
01:36:22,852 --> 01:36:25,254
from the regional housing needs

2824
01:36:25,254 --> 01:36:26,289
assessment is key to meeting

2825
01:36:26,289 --> 01:36:27,900
and is also key to meeting our

2826
01:36:27,900 --> 01:36:29,827
goals in the housing for a

2827
01:36:29,827 --> 01:36:32,827
healthy santa cruz county plan

2828
01:36:33,197 --> 01:36:34,198
especially in terms of building

2829
01:36:34,198 --> 01:36:37,101
low income and very low income

2830
01:36:37,101 --> 01:36:38,167
housing.

2831
01:36:38,167 --> 01:36:40,905
I just note that this indicator

2832
01:36:40,905 --> 01:36:41,539
is also easier to grasp in

2833
01:36:41,539 --> 01:36:43,939
terms of its communication

2834
01:36:45,809 --> 01:36:46,477
power rather than some of our

2835
01:36:46,477 --> 01:36:48,877
other indicators around, you

2836
01:36:49,413 --> 01:36:51,813
know, spending thirty percent

2837
01:36:52,316 --> 01:36:53,317
of your income on housing.

2838
01:36:53,317 --> 01:36:56,200
It's it's just a little bit

2839
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:56,721
easier for people to understand

2840
01:36:56,721 --> 01:36:59,121
and understand the connection

2841
01:37:00,658 --> 01:37:03,658
between housing units added and

2842
01:37:04,195 --> 01:37:05,430
meeting our housing goals.

2843
01:37:05,430 --> 01:37:08,199
Another example on this page as

2844
01:37:08,199 --> 01:37:11,203
you take a look at the other

2845
01:37:11,203 --> 01:37:11,803
indicators on here is nstead

2846
01:37:11,803 --> 01:37:12,370
of tracking multiple

2847
01:37:12,370 --> 01:37:14,370
environmental related

2848
01:37:15,874 --> 01:37:16,575
statistics, we're focusing on

2849
01:37:16,575 --> 01:37:18,975
greenhouse gas emissions which

2850
01:37:19,511 --> 01:37:20,211
is really the core metric put

2851
01:37:20,211 --> 01:37:22,381
forward in the climate action

2852
01:37:22,381 --> 01:37:24,381
and adaptation plan.

2853
01:37:27,190 --> 01:37:30,619
And then if we're looking at

2854
01:37:31,890 --> 01:37:31,689
our health indicator previously

2855
01:37:31,689 --> 01:37:34,890
when we tracked multiple

2856
01:37:35,661 --> 01:37:36,328
indicators it often made it

2857
01:37:36,328 --> 01:37:38,728
difficult or obfuscated the

2858
01:37:39,432 --> 01:37:40,267
story behind the data and by

2859
01:37:40,267 --> 01:37:43,267
focusing on one high impact

2860
01:37:43,836 --> 01:37:44,470
metric we can understand a

2861
01:37:44,470 --> 01:37:45,137
little bit more about our

2862
01:37:45,137 --> 01:37:47,537
community and the narratives

2863
01:37:47,674 --> 01:37:48,573
that are underneath here.

2864
01:37:48,573 --> 01:37:51,610
So if you look at adults who

2865
01:37:51,610 --> 01:37:52,278
have a routine checkup, this is

2866
01:37:52,278 --> 01:37:54,213
an important ndicator linked

2867
01:37:54,213 --> 01:37:54,714
with our community health

2868
01:37:54,714 --> 01:37:55,614
improvement plan.

2869
01:37:55,614 --> 01:37:58,614
Adults who have a routine

2870
01:38:06,126 --> 01:38:06,726
checkup are more likely to

2871
01:38:06,726 --> 01:38:07,600
maintain good health in

2872
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:08,280
general.

2873
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:08,694
If you look at the countywide

2874
01:38:08,694 --> 01:38:09,429
trend here, santacruz county

2875
01:38:09,429 --> 01:38:09,996
residents have better access to

2876
01:38:09,996 --> 01:38:10,797
health care than other

2877
01:38:10,797 --> 01:38:11,431
california residents on average

2878
01:38:11,431 --> 01:38:13,831
when we disaggregate that

2879
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:16,300
number by region we can start

2880
01:38:16,300 --> 01:38:18,939
to see a more nuanced story and

2881
01:38:18,939 --> 01:38:21,939
so regular checkups in south

2882
01:38:22,609 --> 01:38:23,377
county are less prevalent than

2883
01:38:23,377 --> 01:38:26,547
in other regions of the county.

2884
01:38:26,547 --> 01:38:27,248
We know in general that adults

2885
01:38:27,248 --> 01:38:30,248
with inflexible work hours go

2886
01:38:30,351 --> 01:38:31,318
to the doctor less.

2887
01:38:31,318 --> 01:38:31,986
We also know that fewer adults

2888
01:38:31,986 --> 01:38:33,721
will access these kind of

2889
01:38:33,721 --> 01:38:34,422
safety that preventative

2890
01:38:34,422 --> 01:38:37,325
services if they think there's

2891
01:38:37,325 --> 01:38:38,559
any risk that they're their

2892
01:38:38,559 --> 01:38:41,395
family might be put at risk of

2893
01:38:41,395 --> 01:38:42,230
deportation.

2894
01:38:42,230 --> 01:38:45,233
So this really helps us focus

2895
01:38:45,233 --> 01:38:47,233
on intentional potential

2896
01:38:48,703 --> 01:38:51,703
unintentional and goals that we

2897
01:38:52,340 --> 01:38:53,141
might put in place to not only

2898
01:38:53,141 --> 01:38:53,808
raise access to health care for

2899
01:38:53,808 --> 01:38:56,611
everyone but to try to help

2900
01:38:56,611 --> 01:38:59,581
folks in south county increase

2901
01:38:59,581 --> 01:39:02,581
that access faster and I'll

2902
01:39:04,252 --> 01:39:07,756
pass back to nicole to wrap up.

2903
01:39:07,756 --> 01:39:08,590
So in terms of what we planned

2904
01:39:08,590 --> 01:39:11,794
next so the next step is to

2905
01:39:11,794 --> 01:39:12,428
integrate these indicators as

2906
01:39:12,428 --> 01:39:15,428
part of our strategic plan

2907
01:39:15,696 --> 01:39:16,497
refresh process ensuring they

2908
01:39:16,497 --> 01:39:19,902
become a core part of how we

2909
01:39:19,902 --> 01:39:22,902
measure success and what that

2910
01:39:23,606 --> 01:39:24,306
looks like is in this fall we

2911
01:39:24,306 --> 01:39:25,400
are going to be using these

2912
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,943
indicators as part of our

2913
01:39:27,943 --> 01:39:30,943
community outreach to help us

2914
01:39:31,470 --> 01:39:31,647
define what success looks like

2915
01:39:31,647 --> 01:39:33,647
within each measure.

2916
01:39:35,217 --> 01:39:35,852
This outreach will also allow

2917
01:39:35,852 --> 01:39:37,852
to develop meaningful,

2918
01:39:39,555 --> 01:39:40,222
measurable targets within each

2919
01:39:40,222 --> 01:39:40,924
indicator that align ith the

2920
01:39:40,924 --> 01:39:43,324
board approved initiatives in

2921
01:39:43,526 --> 01:39:44,527
county priorities.

2922
01:39:44,527 --> 01:39:47,931
The final set of indicators and

2923
01:39:47,931 --> 01:39:48,631
targets that we're going o

2924
01:39:48,631 --> 01:39:50,600
take all of your feedback and

2925
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:51,434
all the feedback from this

2926
01:39:51,434 --> 01:39:53,834
engagement process will be

2927
01:39:54,504 --> 01:39:55,238
brought back to this board next

2928
01:39:55,238 --> 01:39:58,238
spring of spring of twenty

2929
01:39:58,508 --> 01:39:59,309
twenty six ensuring that we

2930
01:39:59,309 --> 01:39:59,876
have a clear roadmap for

2931
01:39:59,876 --> 01:40:01,876
tracking and improving

2932
01:40:02,512 --> 01:40:03,647
community outcomes.

2933
01:40:03,647 --> 01:40:06,516
So now we'd really love to hear

2934
01:40:06,516 --> 01:40:07,351
your feedback and answer any

2935
01:40:07,351 --> 01:40:10,653
questions you might have as we

2936
01:40:10,653 --> 01:40:13,653
move forward with the process.

2937
01:40:15,159 --> 01:40:16,160
I'm going to get to the public

2938
01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:16,861
now, turn to the public, see if

2939
01:40:16,861 --> 01:40:17,595
there's anyone that wishes to

2940
01:40:17,595 --> 01:40:19,995
speak on this item.

2941
01:40:20,364 --> 01:40:20,598
Please approach the podium team

2942
01:40:20,598 --> 01:40:22,598
.

2943
01:40:24,835 --> 01:40:25,436
We have one nicholas whitehead

2944
01:40:25,436 --> 01:40:28,436
I'm a volunteer with an

2945
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,400
organization that helps low

2946
01:40:33,611 --> 01:40:36,611
income families in the service

2947
01:40:37,482 --> 01:40:38,316
industries and a lot of them a

2948
01:40:38,316 --> 01:40:40,351
team the majority are

2949
01:40:40,351 --> 01:40:41,586
undocumented.

2950
01:40:41,586 --> 01:40:44,586
i'm wondering if this update

2951
01:40:44,723 --> 01:40:47,123
here includes the new

2952
01:40:47,726 --> 01:40:50,726
conditions under which a whole

2953
01:40:51,596 --> 01:40:52,464
nation is subquery.

2954
01:40:52,464 --> 01:40:55,801
Maybe there needs to be an

2955
01:40:55,801 --> 01:40:59,401
update on the update from that

2956
01:40:59,805 --> 01:41:02,205
family security regarding I

2957
01:41:03,375 --> 01:41:04,376
don't expect an answer but just

2958
01:41:04,376 --> 01:41:07,279
so I'll be it hanging in there.

2959
01:41:07,279 --> 01:41:09,279
Thank you.

2960
01:41:11,483 --> 01:41:11,883
Thank you everybody online.

2961
01:41:11,883 --> 01:41:13,883
Yes.

2962
01:41:14,453 --> 01:41:17,453
We have speakers online thamir

2963
01:41:18,524 --> 01:41:18,924
microphones now available.

2964
01:41:18,924 --> 01:41:19,625
Oh hi.

2965
01:41:19,625 --> 01:41:22,250
Thank you very much.

2966
01:41:22,228 --> 01:41:23,462
So yeah I just wondered similar

2967
01:41:23,462 --> 01:41:26,632
I don't know how all this plays

2968
01:41:26,632 --> 01:41:28,632
out today.

2969
01:41:29,501 --> 01:41:30,303
You know I'm quite worried

2970
01:41:30,303 --> 01:41:33,303
about our government the lack

2971
01:41:33,773 --> 01:41:36,773
of bipartisanship is is just

2972
01:41:37,844 --> 01:41:38,545
it's staggering and the thing

2973
01:41:38,545 --> 01:41:41,281
is is they're jumping into all

2974
01:41:41,281 --> 01:41:41,681
of our personal data and

2975
01:41:41,681 --> 01:41:42,415
whatnot.

2976
01:41:42,415 --> 01:41:44,815
So it's quite weird.

2977
01:41:46,860 --> 01:41:49,956
It doesn't seem to be that MR.

2978
01:41:49,956 --> 01:41:52,956
Trump is appreciative of the

2979
01:41:53,659 --> 01:41:54,460
environment and it's so much so

2980
01:41:54,460 --> 01:41:58,600
that that it's just it's mind

2981
01:41:58,266 --> 01:42:01,535
blowing and you know, the lack

2982
01:42:01,535 --> 01:42:02,336
of inclusiveness you little

2983
01:42:02,336 --> 01:42:05,205
things like with the military

2984
01:42:05,205 --> 01:42:08,676
like trying to to isappear the

2985
01:42:08,676 --> 01:42:09,477
contributions that black

2986
01:42:09,477 --> 01:42:12,477
americans made during world war

2987
01:42:13,470 --> 01:42:16,470
two and native americans and

2988
01:42:16,751 --> 01:42:19,751
people from the lgbtq community

2989
01:42:20,354 --> 01:42:21,355
namely alan turing for example

2990
01:42:21,355 --> 01:42:24,525
we wouldn't even exist if it

2991
01:42:24,525 --> 01:42:25,258
wasn't for alan turing and

2992
01:42:25,258 --> 01:42:27,658
native american people that

2993
01:42:28,930 --> 01:42:31,930
allowed the situa where we

2994
01:42:32,699 --> 01:42:33,401
could talk in secret and you

2995
01:42:33,401 --> 01:42:34,135
could hear the japanese and we

2996
01:42:34,135 --> 01:42:36,805
could defeat the japanese at

2997
01:42:36,805 --> 01:42:37,839
the battle of midway.

2998
01:42:37,839 --> 01:42:40,609
So all these little things here

2999
01:42:40,609 --> 01:42:43,609
we have a federal government

3000
01:42:44,279 --> 01:42:44,979
here that doesn't appreciate

3001
01:42:44,979 --> 01:42:45,514
our native american community

3002
01:42:45,514 --> 01:42:47,514
doesn't appreciate

3003
01:42:48,583 --> 01:42:49,184
inclusiveness whatsoever,

3004
01:42:49,184 --> 01:42:49,518
doesn't appreciate black

3005
01:42:49,518 --> 01:42:51,518
people.

3006
01:42:52,540 --> 01:42:52,754
It's so weird and they don't

3007
01:42:52,754 --> 01:42:55,154
appreciate the environment of

3008
01:42:55,758 --> 01:42:56,959
which we all depend on.

3009
01:42:56,959 --> 01:43:00,228
I mean obviously no what no one

3010
01:43:00,228 --> 01:43:00,763
here wants a bowl of salad ith

3011
01:43:00,763 --> 01:43:03,163
cobalt nickel in it.

3012
01:43:04,166 --> 01:43:07,370
So I on't know where we're

3013
01:43:07,370 --> 01:43:08,203
going with a great many of

3014
01:43:08,203 --> 01:43:08,537
things and I'm quite worried

3015
01:43:08,537 --> 01:43:10,537
anyways.

3016
01:43:10,773 --> 01:43:11,774
I like your presentation.

3017
01:43:11,774 --> 01:43:12,608
Thank you so much.

3018
01:43:12,608 --> 01:43:15,608
You take it easy buddy.

3019
01:43:19,549 --> 01:43:23,149
Ad use your to your microphone

3020
01:43:29,959 --> 01:43:30,659
is now available being as I was

3021
01:43:30,659 --> 01:43:33,590
listening to your presentation

3022
01:43:34,331 --> 01:43:37,990
I was thinking of people who

3023
01:43:37,990 --> 01:43:40,990
are unhealth some of whom

3024
01:43:41,805 --> 01:43:42,104
testified before your board

3025
01:43:42,104 --> 01:43:44,104
today.

3026
01:43:45,709 --> 01:43:48,979
So when you talk about housing

3027
01:43:48,979 --> 01:43:49,780
indicators what is the reality

3028
01:43:49,780 --> 01:43:52,780
and then homeless people are

3029
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,840
being rounded done and what

3030
01:43:58,155 --> 01:44:01,240
little belongings they have are

3031
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:01,725
being taken from them that's

3032
01:44:01,725 --> 01:44:04,125
like you know, stealing

3033
01:44:04,829 --> 01:44:07,229
somebody is sheels homeowners

3034
01:44:08,833 --> 01:44:09,500
house they get in trouble but

3035
01:44:09,500 --> 01:44:12,500
the officials can steal from

3036
01:44:12,937 --> 01:44:15,807
the homeless and get away with

3037
01:44:15,807 --> 01:44:16,808
that inclusiveness.

3038
01:44:16,808 --> 01:44:20,408
How are people on the house

3039
01:44:20,612 --> 01:44:21,646
included in the housing?

3040
01:44:21,646 --> 01:44:25,183
They're not not included in the

3041
01:44:25,183 --> 01:44:27,719
world to the country and we now

3042
01:44:27,719 --> 01:44:30,719
have country that's run by

3043
01:44:32,230 --> 01:44:32,858
billionaire plutocrats and so

3044
01:44:32,858 --> 01:44:37,580
there is going to be more and

3045
01:44:38,897 --> 01:44:40,897
more poverty anyway.

3046
01:44:43,168 --> 01:44:46,939
It just seems like a lot of

3047
01:44:46,939 --> 01:44:49,939
rhetoric and I'm thinking of

3048
01:44:51,100 --> 01:44:52,440
food, not bombs, money spent.

3049
01:44:52,440 --> 01:44:55,281
I'm reading from news by the

3050
01:44:55,281 --> 01:44:58,517
world weapons in one week it's

3051
01:44:58,517 --> 01:44:59,352
enough to feed all the people

3052
01:44:59,352 --> 01:45:02,952
for a year when millions of

3053
01:45:03,322 --> 01:45:06,892
people go hungry we could say

3054
01:45:06,892 --> 01:45:07,694
on houses well each day how can

3055
01:45:07,694 --> 01:45:10,296
we spend another dollar on the

3056
01:45:10,296 --> 01:45:13,296
war more than 25000 people die

3057
01:45:13,967 --> 01:45:14,901
because of hunger every day.

3058
01:45:14,901 --> 01:45:18,204
If you feel that people need

3059
01:45:18,204 --> 01:45:21,804
more food than bombs, we invite

3060
01:45:21,907 --> 01:45:22,308
you to call us today food not

3061
01:45:22,308 --> 01:45:24,308
bombs.

3062
01:45:25,579 --> 01:45:28,579
Drop that or one 800 eight

3063
01:45:30,650 --> 01:45:34,250
eight four one one three six

3064
01:45:34,321 --> 01:45:34,987
and once they do we have no

3065
01:45:34,987 --> 01:45:37,958
finish because you're on our

3066
01:45:37,958 --> 01:45:38,759
turn to turn to my fellow board

3067
01:45:38,759 --> 01:45:39,193
members or see if anyone has

3068
01:45:39,193 --> 01:45:39,793
any questions.

3069
01:45:39,793 --> 01:45:41,595
I'm going to start to my

3070
01:45:41,595 --> 01:45:43,595
immediate left supervisor

3071
01:45:45,865 --> 01:45:46,266
martinez.

3072
01:45:46,266 --> 01:45:48,266
Tank you.

3073
01:45:48,936 --> 01:45:49,770
Chair.

3074
01:45:49,770 --> 01:45:50,337
Thank you to the staff for

3075
01:45:50,337 --> 01:45:52,337
providing this update.

3076
01:45:52,973 --> 01:45:53,674
It's clear that you're

3077
01:45:53,674 --> 01:45:56,674
continuing to make progress on

3078
01:45:56,677 --> 01:45:57,311
refining our approach to

3079
01:45:57,311 --> 01:45:57,612
addressing big countywide

3080
01:45:57,612 --> 01:45:58,312
goals.

3081
01:45:58,312 --> 01:46:01,150
And so I appreciate you

3082
01:46:01,150 --> 01:46:04,150
bringing us to us after

3083
01:46:04,518 --> 01:46:07,518
reviewing the indicators I did

3084
01:46:08,589 --> 01:46:09,390
have a couple just suggestions

3085
01:46:09,390 --> 01:46:12,390
for things that might be

3086
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:13,795
missing.

3087
01:46:13,795 --> 01:46:16,163
The first is, you know, through

3088
01:46:16,163 --> 01:46:16,731
my role leading large health

3089
01:46:16,731 --> 01:46:17,399
and human services

3090
01:46:17,399 --> 01:46:19,399
organizations and partnering

3091
01:46:19,868 --> 01:46:22,868
with the health community, it

3092
01:46:23,939 --> 01:46:24,639
seems like there's a very

3093
01:46:24,639 --> 01:46:27,390
vulnerable population that is

3094
01:46:28,143 --> 01:46:28,810
struggling with both mental

3095
01:46:28,810 --> 01:46:30,810
health challenges, untreated

3096
01:46:32,470 --> 01:46:32,748
substance use disorder and

3097
01:46:32,748 --> 01:46:35,748
homelessness and it's kind of

3098
01:46:36,510 --> 01:46:36,418
this trifecta that's very

3099
01:46:36,418 --> 01:46:38,418
expensive.

3100
01:46:40,222 --> 01:46:40,656
it impacts our jail systems and

3101
01:46:40,656 --> 01:46:41,290
public safety.

3102
01:46:41,290 --> 01:46:44,290
It impacts our health care

3103
01:46:44,460 --> 01:46:47,629
systems often it's a mandate of

3104
01:46:47,629 --> 01:46:48,264
the county to provide these

3105
01:46:48,264 --> 01:46:50,264
safety net services.

3106
01:46:51,534 --> 01:46:52,201
And so as they think about, you

3107
01:46:52,201 --> 01:46:54,601
know, these indicators and

3108
01:46:54,669 --> 01:46:55,371
health and wellness, I'm not

3109
01:46:55,371 --> 01:46:57,771
quite seeing how we're

3110
01:46:58,541 --> 01:46:59,142
targeting that really sort

3111
01:46:59,142 --> 01:46:59,809
vulnerable high risk and

3112
01:46:59,809 --> 01:47:02,209
expensive population and it

3113
01:47:02,946 --> 01:47:06,546
might be helpful to to consider

3114
01:47:07,617 --> 01:47:10,820
amending that one to put this

3115
01:47:10,820 --> 01:47:11,621
or something in here adding an

3116
01:47:11,621 --> 01:47:14,621
indicator really to to target

3117
01:47:14,958 --> 01:47:17,958
that area because while I

3118
01:47:18,595 --> 01:47:19,362
completely support the routine

3119
01:47:19,362 --> 01:47:20,290
checkup indicator that's that's

3120
01:47:20,290 --> 01:47:22,399
really important that that's

3121
01:47:22,399 --> 01:47:22,965
for folks who were able to get

3122
01:47:22,965 --> 01:47:23,734
to a routine checkup.

3123
01:47:23,734 --> 01:47:26,303
It's certainly not for the

3124
01:47:26,303 --> 01:47:29,303
folks who are cycling through

3125
01:47:29,740 --> 01:47:31,740
our systems.

3126
01:47:33,944 --> 01:47:34,244
I had a question about one of

3127
01:47:34,244 --> 01:47:36,244
them.

3128
01:47:37,114 --> 01:47:37,848
You know, we know that seniors

3129
01:47:37,848 --> 01:47:38,548
is the fastest rowing

3130
01:47:38,548 --> 01:47:41,351
population in our county and I

3131
01:47:41,351 --> 01:47:44,351
recognize that under the focus

3132
01:47:44,855 --> 01:47:45,656
area county demographics you

3133
01:47:45,656 --> 01:47:48,560
have indicator population by

3134
01:47:48,659 --> 01:47:52,259
age but that one seems less

3135
01:47:52,730 --> 01:47:53,598
measurable or I mean it's very

3136
01:47:53,598 --> 01:47:54,232
measurable but like what are we

3137
01:47:54,232 --> 01:47:55,166
trying to impact with it?

3138
01:47:55,166 --> 01:47:57,135
I think that maybe it's more

3139
01:47:57,135 --> 01:47:57,802
like the vulnerability of our

3140
01:47:57,802 --> 01:48:00,871
seniors or the needs of our

3141
01:48:00,871 --> 01:48:01,973
seniors are being met.

3142
01:48:01,973 --> 01:48:02,673
You know, with a lot of these

3143
01:48:02,673 --> 01:48:05,309
others I can see how measuring

3144
01:48:05,309 --> 01:48:05,909
housing it's added shows that

3145
01:48:05,909 --> 01:48:07,946
we're doing something or

3146
01:48:07,946 --> 01:48:08,747
measuring families living under

3147
01:48:08,747 --> 01:48:09,313
the poverty level shows that

3148
01:48:09,313 --> 01:48:10,480
we're doing something.

3149
01:48:10,480 --> 01:48:11,817
But measuring population by age

3150
01:48:11,817 --> 01:48:12,818
mean people are aging.

3151
01:48:12,818 --> 01:48:13,685
We know that's happening.

3152
01:48:13,685 --> 01:48:14,319
So what are we trying to do

3153
01:48:14,319 --> 01:48:16,288
with the aging opulation?

3154
01:48:16,288 --> 01:48:17,220
I think what you intend is to

3155
01:48:17,220 --> 01:48:20,220
provide more supports for them.

3156
01:48:20,920 --> 01:48:20,459
So I think that's something to

3157
01:48:20,459 --> 01:48:22,459
consider.

3158
01:48:24,696 --> 01:48:28,296
And lastly, kind of a question

3159
01:48:31,804 --> 01:48:32,705
around just overall there's a

3160
01:48:32,705 --> 01:48:35,705
lot f resiliency work being

3161
01:48:35,908 --> 01:48:36,708
discussed as a county.

3162
01:48:36,708 --> 01:48:37,543
There's a lot of work, you

3163
01:48:37,543 --> 01:48:39,943
know, recognizing that natural

3164
01:48:40,212 --> 01:48:40,913
disasters are more frequent and

3165
01:48:40,913 --> 01:48:41,313
it's making our community more

3166
01:48:41,313 --> 01:48:43,313
vulnerable.

3167
01:48:44,484 --> 01:48:45,184
I don't know where or how in

3168
01:48:45,184 --> 01:48:47,353
these buckets that's reflected

3169
01:48:47,353 --> 01:48:50,757
in the focus areas but I'm

3170
01:48:50,757 --> 01:48:51,557
wondering if you know, as you

3171
01:48:51,557 --> 01:48:54,861
look to refine these things, if

3172
01:48:54,861 --> 01:48:55,662
you sort of consider the

3173
01:48:55,662 --> 01:48:58,662
impacts of the environment and

3174
01:48:59,199 --> 01:49:02,199
climate change on the wellness,

3175
01:49:02,669 --> 01:49:03,603
the health and wellness of our

3176
01:49:03,603 --> 01:49:04,304
residents, I think that might

3177
01:49:04,304 --> 01:49:07,340
be something to to factor in.

3178
01:49:07,340 --> 01:49:08,141
So so those are my comments and

3179
01:49:08,141 --> 01:49:08,809
don't know if you have any

3180
01:49:08,809 --> 01:49:09,976
reflections on the question

3181
01:49:09,976 --> 01:49:11,976
that I yeah.

3182
01:49:13,847 --> 01:49:14,548
We have similar thoughts

3183
01:49:14,548 --> 01:49:17,548
questions about areas that ay

3184
01:49:17,950 --> 01:49:18,886
not currently be alive or

3185
01:49:18,886 --> 01:49:21,954
visible in our in our current

3186
01:49:21,954 --> 01:49:22,723
strategic plan that through

3187
01:49:22,723 --> 01:49:25,723
engaging with you and engaging

3188
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:26,961
with the community MAY emerge

3189
01:49:26,961 --> 01:49:29,630
as a particular area of focus

3190
01:49:29,630 --> 01:49:30,464
that we need to draw and

3191
01:49:30,464 --> 01:49:31,165
highlight and maybe there's

3192
01:49:31,165 --> 01:49:33,565
something that's currently in

3193
01:49:34,268 --> 01:49:37,868
the plan that is less important

3194
01:49:38,206 --> 01:49:39,240
to kind of call out now.

3195
01:49:39,240 --> 01:49:41,309
So we're going to be making

3196
01:49:41,309 --> 01:49:42,110
those refinements starting here

3197
01:49:42,110 --> 01:49:45,346
with you all this is the start

3198
01:49:45,346 --> 01:49:46,800
of the process to try to figure

3199
01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:49,680
out where we're headed in terms

3200
01:49:49,818 --> 01:49:50,510
of updating the strategic plan

3201
01:49:50,510 --> 01:49:50,819
.

3202
01:49:50,819 --> 01:49:52,987
So I think we'll have

3203
01:49:52,987 --> 01:49:53,821
definitely a better idea and

3204
01:49:53,821 --> 01:49:56,221
more information after this

3205
01:49:57,580 --> 01:49:57,425
fall.

3206
01:49:57,425 --> 01:49:59,425
Wonderful.

3207
01:50:00,762 --> 01:50:01,396
Thank you for incorporating

3208
01:50:01,396 --> 01:50:02,164
those sort f ubpopulations

3209
01:50:02,164 --> 01:50:05,670
into your thinking as you

3210
01:50:05,670 --> 01:50:05,800
proceed.

3211
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:08,800
And and I just really

3212
01:50:08,970 --> 01:50:11,970
appreciate the efforts to use

3213
01:50:12,641 --> 01:50:13,442
really just community health

3214
01:50:13,442 --> 01:50:16,442
and community wellness as a

3215
01:50:16,745 --> 01:50:17,179
driving factor in the strategic

3216
01:50:17,179 --> 01:50:18,180
planning work.

3217
01:50:18,180 --> 01:50:19,214
And so thank you for continuing

3218
01:50:19,214 --> 01:50:21,160
to keep us up to date on this

3219
01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:21,450
item.

3220
01:50:21,450 --> 01:50:23,450
Thank you.

3221
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:25,621
Supervisor karnig, thank chair.

3222
01:50:25,621 --> 01:50:26,656
Thank you staff.

3223
01:50:26,656 --> 01:50:29,325
I appreciate the effort to

3224
01:50:29,325 --> 01:50:30,260
reduce the number of total

3225
01:50:30,260 --> 01:50:32,228
indicators that we're looking

3226
01:50:32,228 --> 01:50:32,994
at and also really make sure

3227
01:50:32,994 --> 01:50:35,994
that they're linked to policies

3228
01:50:36,650 --> 01:50:37,660
that the county can implement,

3229
01:50:37,660 --> 01:50:40,235
you know, dairy ways as we're

3230
01:50:40,235 --> 01:50:43,235
looking at these indicators we

3231
01:50:44,700 --> 01:50:44,707
should be inspired with

3232
01:50:44,707 --> 01:50:45,375
policies and programs that'll

3233
01:50:45,375 --> 01:50:47,844
help drive them in the right

3234
01:50:47,844 --> 01:50:48,878
direction.

3235
01:50:48,878 --> 01:50:49,678
And so to that extent we really

3236
01:50:49,678 --> 01:50:51,800
want them to be as direct as

3237
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:51,914
possible.

3238
01:50:51,914 --> 01:50:52,616
I definitely share some of the

3239
01:50:52,616 --> 01:50:55,160
concerns raised by supervisor

3240
01:50:58,889 --> 01:50:59,923
martinez around some of them to

3241
01:50:59,923 --> 01:51:02,923
start with some that she

3242
01:51:02,993 --> 01:51:03,660
mentioned absolute something

3243
01:51:03,660 --> 01:51:06,600
related to homelessness and

3244
01:51:06,996 --> 01:51:07,997
mental health.

3245
01:51:07,997 --> 01:51:10,901
I mean in many ways that has

3246
01:51:10,901 --> 01:51:11,368
been a relative success story

3247
01:51:11,368 --> 01:51:12,403
in recent years.

3248
01:51:12,403 --> 01:51:14,672
How are we going to measure if

3249
01:51:14,672 --> 01:51:15,873
we're continue to be on track

3250
01:51:15,873 --> 01:51:18,975
with that would it just be the

3251
01:51:18,975 --> 01:51:19,710
population experiencing

3252
01:51:19,710 --> 01:51:22,710
homelessness as measured by the

3253
01:51:23,214 --> 01:51:23,948
point in time ount what we

3254
01:51:23,948 --> 01:51:26,384
should I mean maybe we should

3255
01:51:26,384 --> 01:51:27,180
be tracking shelter beds and

3256
01:51:27,180 --> 01:51:29,418
temporary housing units as

3257
01:51:30,688 --> 01:51:34,920
opposed or in addition to just

3258
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:34,325
over traditional housing units

3259
01:51:34,325 --> 01:51:35,930
.

3260
01:51:35,930 --> 01:51:35,727
Again, because we're taking

3261
01:51:35,727 --> 01:51:36,427
shelter beds and temporary

3262
01:51:36,427 --> 01:51:38,363
housing units, we can all get

3263
01:51:38,363 --> 01:51:38,963
together like oh jeez, we

3264
01:51:38,963 --> 01:51:39,464
really haven't made any

3265
01:51:39,464 --> 01:51:40,165
progress on this.

3266
01:51:40,165 --> 01:51:42,400
Maybe we should make it easier

3267
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:42,734
to add temporary housing right

3268
01:51:42,734 --> 01:51:43,401
in here.

3269
01:51:43,401 --> 01:51:46,401
Several policy options to do

3270
01:51:49,390 --> 01:51:51,390
that.

3271
01:51:52,644 --> 01:51:52,899
So on like on population by age

3272
01:51:52,899 --> 01:51:53,879
.

3273
01:51:53,879 --> 01:51:56,879
Yeah, we know the trends.

3274
01:51:57,715 --> 01:51:58,383
So how are we going to measure

3275
01:51:58,383 --> 01:52:01,190
our success and we probably

3276
01:52:01,190 --> 01:52:01,820
don't have I mean other han

3277
01:52:01,820 --> 01:52:04,820
creating more housing to create

3278
01:52:05,224 --> 01:52:05,958
more opportunities for first

3279
01:52:05,958 --> 01:52:06,692
time homebuyers or families who

3280
01:52:06,692 --> 01:52:08,661
live in our community, we don't

3281
01:52:08,661 --> 01:52:12,231
have all that much impact on

3282
01:52:12,231 --> 01:52:14,631
the overall demographic trends.

3283
01:52:15,935 --> 01:52:17,136
But one measure that occurs to

3284
01:52:17,136 --> 01:52:20,238
me four or eight would be the

3285
01:52:20,238 --> 01:52:22,638
percentage of seniors reporting

3286
01:52:23,609 --> 01:52:24,410
willingness or social isolation

3287
01:52:24,410 --> 01:52:27,410
something about the quality of

3288
01:52:28,348 --> 01:52:29,150
life for ur seniors and of

3289
01:52:29,150 --> 01:52:29,716
course that is going to have

3290
01:52:29,716 --> 01:52:32,716
direct linkage to their health

3291
01:52:34,187 --> 01:52:37,187
outcomes as well or dynamic

3292
01:52:37,457 --> 01:52:38,258
economy families living below

3293
01:52:38,258 --> 01:52:40,658
200 percent of the poverty

3294
01:52:41,127 --> 01:52:41,961
level.

3295
01:52:41,961 --> 01:52:44,961
And I certainly understand that

3296
01:52:45,310 --> 01:52:48,310
it's important to have this

3297
01:52:49,302 --> 01:52:49,970
visibility into the people

3298
01:52:49,970 --> 01:52:52,370
experiencing poverty in our

3299
01:52:52,472 --> 01:52:53,273
communities at the same time

3300
01:52:53,273 --> 01:52:56,410
this is sort of an endemic

3301
01:52:56,410 --> 01:52:57,111
challenge to our two major

3302
01:52:57,111 --> 01:52:59,847
industries that we have here

3303
01:52:59,847 --> 01:53:00,880
tourism and agriculture and I

3304
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:01,181
provide a lot of high paying

3305
01:53:01,181 --> 01:53:01,881
jobs.

3306
01:53:01,881 --> 01:53:04,485
They provide a lot of low

3307
01:53:04,485 --> 01:53:07,485
paying jobs and therefore we

3308
01:53:08,755 --> 01:53:12,590
need a population to do those

3309
01:53:12,590 --> 01:53:12,860
jobs and they're not having an

3310
01:53:12,860 --> 01:53:15,860
easy time getting growing their

3311
01:53:16,230 --> 01:53:17,265
wages.

3312
01:53:17,265 --> 01:53:17,998
So this isn't just one of those

3313
01:53:17,998 --> 01:53:18,699
measures where it's like ok, so

3314
01:53:18,699 --> 01:53:20,535
what should we do about this?

3315
01:53:20,535 --> 01:53:23,837
Should we be like trying to

3316
01:53:23,837 --> 01:53:24,739
increase the local minimum wage

3317
01:53:24,739 --> 01:53:27,108
or are we putting all these

3318
01:53:27,108 --> 01:53:27,575
requirements on business or

3319
01:53:27,575 --> 01:53:28,343
something else?

3320
01:53:28,343 --> 01:53:31,943
I mean maybe if we just

3321
01:53:31,946 --> 01:53:32,781
measured drop job growth by

3322
01:53:32,781 --> 01:53:35,781
income level within the county

3323
01:53:35,884 --> 01:53:36,651
we would have a better sense of

3324
01:53:36,651 --> 01:53:37,352
where we were making positive

3325
01:53:37,352 --> 01:53:39,520
gains as well and other things

3326
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:42,520
like whatever that is education

3327
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:43,625
and health care in addition to

3328
01:53:43,625 --> 01:53:45,625
understanding, you know,

3329
01:53:50,966 --> 01:53:51,633
whether the tourism and

3330
01:53:51,633 --> 01:53:53,633
agricultural industries are

3331
01:53:55,270 --> 01:53:58,870
sort of emaining flat or or

3332
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:03,813
not or growing in the last one

3333
01:54:03,813 --> 01:54:06,481
is the strong start score

3334
01:54:06,481 --> 01:54:06,983
thriving families?

3335
01:54:06,983 --> 01:54:07,750
It's another one.

3336
01:54:07,750 --> 01:54:08,718
It's a little bit squishy.

3337
01:54:08,718 --> 01:54:10,253
I was looking into what the

3338
01:54:10,253 --> 01:54:13,253
strong start score entails and

3339
01:54:14,230 --> 01:54:14,790
it seems like it's a collection

3340
01:54:14,790 --> 01:54:17,790
of things healthy birth weight,

3341
01:54:18,261 --> 01:54:18,895
adequate prenatal care, higher

3342
01:54:18,895 --> 01:54:19,529
parental education level,

3343
01:54:19,529 --> 01:54:21,929
stable housing, access to

3344
01:54:22,564 --> 01:54:23,266
health care sorry those last

3345
01:54:23,266 --> 01:54:26,100
two stable housing and access

3346
01:54:26,100 --> 01:54:26,635
to health care those a sort of

3347
01:54:26,635 --> 01:54:27,237
like other indicators we

3348
01:54:27,237 --> 01:54:29,973
already have in terms of

3349
01:54:29,973 --> 01:54:30,774
overall number of housing units

3350
01:54:30,774 --> 01:54:31,141
that we're adding or regular

3351
01:54:31,141 --> 01:54:33,141
checkups.

3352
01:54:33,977 --> 01:54:34,778
My insurance is like this is

3353
01:54:34,778 --> 01:54:37,680
it's because it's an aggregate

3354
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:38,382
number that we probably all

3355
01:54:38,382 --> 01:54:39,160
don't know how it's aggregate

3356
01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:41,484
at the top of our head.

3357
01:54:41,484 --> 01:54:42,152
It might therefore be harder to

3358
01:54:42,152 --> 01:54:45,220
have a direct correlation to

3359
01:54:45,220 --> 01:54:45,456
the things the county is doing

3360
01:54:45,456 --> 01:54:47,456
to improve it.

3361
01:54:48,324 --> 01:54:51,324
Maybe something along the lines

3362
01:54:52,620 --> 01:54:52,997
of child care cost burden again

3363
01:54:52,997 --> 01:54:53,631
we have just a very clear

3364
01:54:53,631 --> 01:54:56,310
understanding of child are

3365
01:54:57,501 --> 01:54:58,135
affordable in our community is

3366
01:54:58,135 --> 01:55:00,104
that supporting people in

3367
01:55:00,104 --> 01:55:01,105
raising healthy children?

3368
01:55:01,105 --> 01:55:04,308
Those are my comments and a

3369
01:55:04,308 --> 01:55:05,409
clarification.

3370
01:55:05,409 --> 01:55:08,312
Are you looking I mean we sort

3371
01:55:08,312 --> 01:55:08,679
of this is a brainstorming

3372
01:55:08,679 --> 01:55:09,647
session.

3373
01:55:09,647 --> 01:55:11,783
Are you are you looking at more

3374
01:55:11,783 --> 01:55:12,183
like a motion on what you an

3375
01:55:12,183 --> 01:55:13,170
today?

3376
01:55:13,170 --> 01:55:16,170
We're just taking your feedback

3377
01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:16,821
and thoughts to incorporate and

3378
01:55:16,821 --> 01:55:20,191
think as we refine these and

3379
01:55:20,191 --> 01:55:20,759
work towards engagement later

3380
01:55:20,759 --> 01:55:23,159
on with the community.

3381
01:55:24,595 --> 01:55:26,995
Thank thank you, supervisor

3382
01:55:30,902 --> 01:55:31,970
cummings.

3383
01:55:31,970 --> 01:55:32,337
Thanks for the presentation on

3384
01:55:32,337 --> 01:55:34,337
this item.

3385
01:55:35,806 --> 01:55:39,110
Ill try to get to the point

3386
01:55:39,110 --> 01:55:39,912
with a number of the areas

3387
01:55:39,912 --> 01:55:40,479
where I have a little I have

3388
01:55:40,479 --> 01:55:42,647
some suggestions on a

3389
01:55:42,647 --> 01:55:42,981
comprehensive health and

3390
01:55:42,981 --> 01:55:43,715
safety.

3391
01:55:43,715 --> 01:55:46,885
One of the things I think might

3392
01:55:46,885 --> 01:55:47,586
be and I know we're trying to

3393
01:55:47,586 --> 01:55:50,356
constrain this and not add too

3394
01:55:50,356 --> 01:55:51,560
much but you know, recidivism I

3395
01:55:51,560 --> 01:55:54,560
think is something that is

3396
01:55:54,260 --> 01:55:55,940
measurable and the people

3397
01:55:55,940 --> 01:55:55,761
really want to see it reduced

3398
01:55:55,761 --> 01:55:58,431
and santa cruz counties are

3399
01:55:58,431 --> 01:55:59,198
people who are going the system

3400
01:55:59,198 --> 01:56:02,680
just ending up in a vicious

3401
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:02,968
cycle within the system or do

3402
01:56:02,968 --> 01:56:03,670
we have programs in place that

3403
01:56:03,670 --> 01:56:06,700
are actually supporting those

3404
01:56:06,506 --> 01:56:07,205
people so that when there is a

3405
01:56:07,205 --> 01:56:09,342
system they actually come out

3406
01:56:09,342 --> 01:56:09,842
and move on to have a more

3407
01:56:09,842 --> 01:56:10,577
sustainable life?

3408
01:56:10,577 --> 01:56:12,312
I think that's something that a

3409
01:56:12,312 --> 01:56:13,113
lot of folks want to see and I

3410
01:56:13,113 --> 01:56:15,513
think that's something that's

3411
01:56:17,417 --> 01:56:19,417
measurable attainable housing

3412
01:56:21,210 --> 01:56:21,721
with a section I have a little

3413
01:56:21,721 --> 01:56:24,723
bit of I guess my main concern

3414
01:56:24,723 --> 01:56:25,525
is that historically or at

3415
01:56:25,525 --> 01:56:28,562
least in the past a couple of

3416
01:56:28,562 --> 01:56:29,363
the past housing cycles we have

3417
01:56:29,363 --> 01:56:32,650
not been meeting are very low

3418
01:56:32,650 --> 01:56:34,465
and low housing levels.

3419
01:56:36,136 --> 01:56:36,937
And so for me what's the

3420
01:56:36,937 --> 01:56:39,139
biggest concern is that we meet

3421
01:56:39,139 --> 01:56:39,974
our market rate and we count

3422
01:56:39,974 --> 01:56:42,374
towards, you know, increasing

3423
01:56:43,410 --> 01:56:44,244
the number of units added and

3424
01:56:44,244 --> 01:56:44,844
we move into our next cycle and

3425
01:56:44,844 --> 01:56:47,844
we meet our market rate.

3426
01:56:47,882 --> 01:56:48,582
We're not meeting a very low

3427
01:56:48,582 --> 01:56:51,218
and low and so it'll seem like

3428
01:56:51,218 --> 01:56:52,530
yes, we are building housing

3429
01:56:52,530 --> 01:56:52,686
but then it's like housing for

3430
01:56:52,686 --> 01:56:55,189
home and we know that the

3431
01:56:55,189 --> 01:56:56,190
housing that we need to to

3432
01:56:56,190 --> 01:56:58,893
exploit is for a lot of folks

3433
01:56:58,893 --> 01:56:59,526
who are working ithin these

3434
01:56:59,526 --> 01:57:00,161
lower sector industries in

3435
01:57:00,161 --> 01:57:03,130
terms of the incomes that

3436
01:57:03,130 --> 01:57:03,964
they're able to generate.

3437
01:57:03,964 --> 01:57:04,499
So like are we building

3438
01:57:04,499 --> 01:57:05,200
farmworker housing?

3439
01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:06,868
We're building housing for the

3440
01:57:06,868 --> 01:57:07,235
people who are in the tourist

3441
01:57:07,235 --> 01:57:07,902
industry.

3442
01:57:07,902 --> 01:57:09,904
And so I think t's really

3443
01:57:09,904 --> 01:57:10,338
critical that that's kind

3444
01:57:10,338 --> 01:57:11,206
broken apart.

3445
01:57:11,206 --> 01:57:11,940
And so maybe if it's

3446
01:57:11,940 --> 01:57:14,940
sustainable housing and we look

3447
01:57:21,950 --> 01:57:22,650
at the number of units that are

3448
01:57:22,650 --> 01:57:23,352
being built in those different

3449
01:57:23,352 --> 01:57:23,986
income categories rather then

3450
01:57:23,986 --> 01:57:24,720
lumping them all together,

3451
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:25,387
it'll give us a better sense of

3452
01:57:25,387 --> 01:57:26,870
building the housing that's

3453
01:57:26,870 --> 01:57:26,722
really going to be supporting

3454
01:57:26,722 --> 01:57:27,422
county workers, our small

3455
01:57:27,422 --> 01:57:28,890
businesses and the people who

3456
01:57:28,890 --> 01:57:28,991
we know struggle the most to

3457
01:57:28,991 --> 01:57:29,224
find housing in this community

3458
01:57:29,224 --> 01:57:31,224
.

3459
01:57:33,395 --> 01:57:34,196
I think to supervisor martinez

3460
01:57:34,196 --> 01:57:34,864
and konings point around

3461
01:57:34,864 --> 01:57:37,264
environmentally I'm going to

3462
01:57:37,733 --> 01:57:38,300
jump sorry a little bit but

3463
01:57:38,300 --> 01:57:40,700
down to a sustainable

3464
01:57:40,969 --> 01:57:42,171
environment something really

3465
01:57:42,171 --> 01:57:44,473
needs to be added in there

3466
01:57:44,473 --> 01:57:46,473
around environmental resiliency

3467
01:57:48,945 --> 01:57:49,979
and as we've seen the impacts

3468
01:57:49,979 --> 01:57:53,579
on fires and floods and also

3469
01:57:53,849 --> 01:57:54,484
storm action, you know, how are

3470
01:57:54,484 --> 01:57:55,151
we actually measuring how

3471
01:57:55,151 --> 01:57:57,620
resilient we're going to be

3472
01:57:57,620 --> 01:57:57,954
moving forward under a changing

3473
01:57:57,954 --> 01:57:58,621
climate?

3474
01:57:58,621 --> 01:58:00,690
And I know you know, we're

3475
01:58:00,690 --> 01:58:01,524
working on our sea level rise

3476
01:58:01,524 --> 01:58:04,894
adaptation plan and we have a

3477
01:58:04,894 --> 01:58:05,562
number of things in the works

3478
01:58:05,562 --> 01:58:06,128
that I think that there's an

3479
01:58:06,128 --> 01:58:08,431
opportunity for us to

3480
01:58:08,431 --> 01:58:09,266
inrporate that into sort of

3481
01:58:09,266 --> 01:58:11,968
when we're looking at how we're

3482
01:58:11,968 --> 01:58:12,768
making a more climate resilient

3483
01:58:12,768 --> 01:58:15,380
community that we can see

3484
01:58:15,380 --> 01:58:17,438
reflected in this reliable

3485
01:58:19,309 --> 01:58:20,410
transportation.

3486
01:58:20,410 --> 01:58:23,247
I think it would be nice to add

3487
01:58:23,247 --> 01:58:26,247
something in there around just

3488
01:58:27,317 --> 01:58:28,118
bike lanes and alternatives to

3489
01:58:28,118 --> 01:58:31,118
to cars because as we're

3490
01:58:32,220 --> 01:58:32,689
building out the rail trail as

3491
01:58:32,689 --> 01:58:35,559
we're you now, building more

3492
01:58:35,559 --> 01:58:36,360
like 60 lanes, it's something

3493
01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:39,630
that we can track in terms of

3494
01:58:39,630 --> 01:58:39,897
how we're providing more

3495
01:58:39,897 --> 01:58:42,897
opportunities for people to get

3496
01:58:43,301 --> 01:58:43,901
out of the cars and onto other

3497
01:58:43,901 --> 01:58:45,901
forms of environmentally

3498
01:58:47,205 --> 01:58:47,905
friendly transportation and so

3499
01:58:47,905 --> 01:58:50,141
something around that would be

3500
01:58:50,141 --> 01:58:51,750
i think an added benefit and

3501
01:58:51,750 --> 01:58:54,645
then as it relates to dynamic

3502
01:58:54,645 --> 01:58:55,479
economy, I'm not I'm not sure

3503
01:58:55,479 --> 01:58:58,416
how to express this but I think

3504
01:58:58,416 --> 01:58:59,650
something will be worthwhile.

3505
01:58:59,650 --> 01:59:02,620
I mean I think we look at total

3506
01:59:02,620 --> 01:59:03,254
employment but also tracking

3507
01:59:03,254 --> 01:59:05,654
businesses over time who's

3508
01:59:06,358 --> 01:59:08,758
coming into community leaving

3509
01:59:09,828 --> 01:59:10,829
as things get more expensive we

3510
01:59:10,829 --> 01:59:11,463
do you see that there's you

3511
01:59:11,463 --> 01:59:13,565
know, small businesses are

3512
01:59:13,565 --> 01:59:14,566
shutting down.

3513
01:59:14,566 --> 01:59:15,234
When I look around in the city

3514
01:59:15,234 --> 01:59:17,503
of santa cruz in my district

3515
01:59:17,503 --> 01:59:18,169
there's so many vacant

3516
01:59:18,169 --> 01:59:20,906
storefronts and so if we're

3517
01:59:20,906 --> 01:59:21,707
able to track our maintaining

3518
01:59:21,707 --> 01:59:22,541
small businesses and supporting

3519
01:59:22,541 --> 01:59:25,578
small businesses is going to be

3520
01:59:25,578 --> 01:59:27,978
really critical to ensuring

3521
01:59:28,114 --> 01:59:28,747
that, you know, we're we're

3522
01:59:28,747 --> 01:59:29,448
we're a business friendly

3523
01:59:29,448 --> 01:59:31,848
community for small businesses

3524
01:59:32,751 --> 01:59:33,219
and we're not just losing them

3525
01:59:33,219 --> 01:59:35,219
left and right.

3526
01:59:36,254 --> 01:59:37,223
So that concludes my comments

3527
01:59:37,223 --> 01:59:37,889
for now and I'm happy to follow

3528
01:59:37,889 --> 01:59:40,226
up with you all offline but

3529
01:59:40,226 --> 01:59:40,960
just wanted to share those

3530
01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:41,327
thoughts with you all today.

3531
01:59:41,327 --> 01:59:41,761
Thank you.

3532
01:59:41,761 --> 01:59:42,261
Thank you.

3533
01:59:42,261 --> 01:59:44,261
Thank you.

3534
01:59:46,732 --> 01:59:47,734
Supervisor thank you for this.

3535
01:59:47,734 --> 01:59:50,734
You know, in future staff

3536
01:59:50,937 --> 01:59:51,671
reports it would be good to

3537
01:59:51,671 --> 01:59:54,671
know like I thought potentially

3538
01:59:54,773 --> 01:59:55,574
we were voting on this today.

3539
01:59:55,574 --> 01:59:59,174
I didn't realize this was a

3540
02:00:00,460 --> 02:00:04,117
time for a lot of input though

3541
02:00:04,117 --> 02:00:05,318
with that.

3542
02:00:05,318 --> 02:00:08,755
The thing is these plans are

3543
02:00:08,755 --> 02:00:09,323
tedious and the staff is so, so

3544
02:00:09,323 --> 02:00:11,723
busy that I understand

3545
02:00:12,559 --> 02:00:13,126
connecting these goals to what

3546
02:00:13,126 --> 02:00:13,427
people are working on.

3547
02:00:13,427 --> 02:00:15,427
Right.

3548
02:00:16,664 --> 02:00:17,464
So that we can actually have a

3549
02:00:17,464 --> 02:00:20,601
product at the end of the year

3550
02:00:20,601 --> 02:00:23,770
to show what's guiding the work

3551
02:00:23,770 --> 02:00:24,571
and it's a tremendous amount of

3552
02:00:24,571 --> 02:00:25,906
work for not only staff but

3553
02:00:25,906 --> 02:00:28,906
also for people in our

3554
02:00:30,177 --> 02:00:32,177
apartments.

3555
02:00:34,480 --> 02:00:34,882
So under comprehensive health

3556
02:00:34,882 --> 02:00:37,282
and safety certainly what

3557
02:00:37,518 --> 02:00:38,319
supervisor martinez said

3558
02:00:38,319 --> 02:00:41,319
regarding mental health is very

3559
02:00:43,258 --> 02:00:44,459
important to me.

3560
02:00:44,459 --> 02:00:47,762
We have people I think more

3561
02:00:47,762 --> 02:00:50,162
than 70 almost 75 people died

3562
02:00:51,266 --> 02:00:51,900
last year on the streets the

3563
02:00:51,900 --> 02:00:54,300
fentanyl epidemic and just

3564
02:00:55,871 --> 02:00:58,871
exposure to the elements for

3565
02:00:59,741 --> 02:01:00,409
our homeless, our own house

3566
02:01:00,409 --> 02:01:02,809
population that are gravely

3567
02:01:03,679 --> 02:01:04,211
disabled needs to be a priority

3568
02:01:04,211 --> 02:01:06,211
for our county.

3569
02:01:07,449 --> 02:01:08,830
We have the ability to help

3570
02:01:08,830 --> 02:01:11,830
those people and we're not

3571
02:01:14,290 --> 02:01:17,290
doing it unless you under

3572
02:01:18,394 --> 02:01:20,394
attainable housing.

3573
02:01:23,666 --> 02:01:24,500
I look forward to a report

3574
02:01:24,500 --> 02:01:27,770
coming in front of this board

3575
02:01:27,770 --> 02:01:30,770
regarding any projects that are

3576
02:01:31,474 --> 02:01:32,141
out there, any property that we

3577
02:01:32,141 --> 02:01:33,576
could convert to housing not

3578
02:01:33,576 --> 02:01:37,176
only in the community but also

3579
02:01:37,447 --> 02:01:38,848
as a county.

3580
02:01:38,848 --> 02:01:42,786
You know, I as looking I had a

3581
02:01:42,786 --> 02:01:43,520
report by the developers who

3582
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:45,789
were going to be working on the

3583
02:01:45,789 --> 02:01:46,423
par three course I understand

3584
02:01:46,423 --> 02:01:47,189
that's now fallen through.

3585
02:01:47,189 --> 02:01:49,826
But there had been a big

3586
02:01:49,826 --> 02:01:52,826
element there for not only

3587
02:01:53,230 --> 02:01:56,230
seniors but for families that

3588
02:01:57,000 --> 02:01:58,201
are low and moderate income and

3589
02:01:58,201 --> 02:01:59,636
we we need o help these things

3590
02:01:59,636 --> 02:02:02,360
get nderway more quickly.

3591
02:02:03,740 --> 02:02:04,373
So under reliable

3592
02:02:04,373 --> 02:02:06,773
transportation, this was a

3593
02:02:07,144 --> 02:02:07,945
constituent request to ask

3594
02:02:07,945 --> 02:02:10,345
about the pavement condition

3595
02:02:12,650 --> 02:02:15,500
index in relation to

3596
02:02:15,486 --> 02:02:16,419
walkability and bike lanes and

3597
02:02:16,419 --> 02:02:19,624
I see that it says neighborhood

3598
02:02:19,624 --> 02:02:20,124
walkability score but no other

3599
02:02:20,124 --> 02:02:22,124
information there.

3600
02:02:23,293 --> 02:02:24,280
and this was a resident who

3601
02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:24,529
lives in seacliff who's a

3602
02:02:24,529 --> 02:02:26,529
community leader.

3603
02:02:27,365 --> 02:02:28,320
There's no way to easily get

3604
02:02:28,320 --> 02:02:28,366
from seacliff over chapters

3605
02:02:28,366 --> 02:02:30,366
village.

3606
02:02:30,734 --> 02:02:31,703
It's just not safe.

3607
02:02:31,703 --> 02:02:34,772
So she was hoping that somehow

3608
02:02:34,772 --> 02:02:38,372
that could be woven into this

3609
02:02:40,512 --> 02:02:41,312
plan county wide sustainable

3610
02:02:41,312 --> 02:02:44,312
environment since we did have

3611
02:02:48,353 --> 02:02:51,353
the battery the best facility

3612
02:02:52,557 --> 02:02:53,158
have the fire I it's to me it's

3613
02:02:53,158 --> 02:02:55,558
not just about reducing

3614
02:02:56,128 --> 02:02:56,962
greenhouse emissions but it's

3615
02:02:56,962 --> 02:02:59,962
more about energy safety at

3616
02:03:00,466 --> 02:03:03,702
this point like how are we

3617
02:03:03,702 --> 02:03:04,336
going to store energy in a way

3618
02:03:04,336 --> 02:03:07,336
green e need green energy.

3619
02:03:07,873 --> 02:03:08,540
We can produce it needs to be

3620
02:03:08,540 --> 02:03:08,940
stored and transmitted very,

3621
02:03:08,940 --> 02:03:10,940
very safely.

3622
02:03:12,411 --> 02:03:15,615
So if that can be woven in I'd

3623
02:03:15,615 --> 02:03:16,415
appreciate it and then under a

3624
02:03:16,415 --> 02:03:18,551
dynamic economy thank you to

3625
02:03:18,551 --> 02:03:20,551
supervisor cummings.

3626
02:03:22,421 --> 02:03:23,560
This is one of y really

3627
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:23,755
something that 'm very

3628
02:03:23,755 --> 02:03:26,755
interested in is bringing more

3629
02:03:26,858 --> 02:03:27,193
money to our general fund to

3630
02:03:27,193 --> 02:03:28,940
the ig.

3631
02:03:28,940 --> 02:03:29,896
So to the extent that we could

3632
02:03:29,896 --> 02:03:32,896
have a very comprehensive plan

3633
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:34,200
about how we can spur our

3634
02:03:34,200 --> 02:03:37,200
economy and hold on to

3635
02:03:37,570 --> 02:03:39,570
businesses, important

3636
02:03:41,641 --> 02:03:42,309
businesses and increase those

3637
02:03:42,309 --> 02:03:45,309
businesses not just in the

3638
02:03:45,645 --> 02:03:48,645
retail way but but investments

3639
02:03:49,482 --> 02:03:50,117
in companies that are tech

3640
02:03:50,117 --> 02:03:50,750
companies or green tech

3641
02:03:50,750 --> 02:03:51,840
companies or et cetera, et

3642
02:03:51,840 --> 02:03:53,840
cetera.

3643
02:03:54,121 --> 02:03:56,624
I think I'd like to see a nice

3644
02:03:56,624 --> 02:04:00,224
plan about that woven in which

3645
02:04:00,427 --> 02:04:01,950
I think are things that you

3646
02:04:01,950 --> 02:04:01,529
probably already working on.

3647
02:04:01,529 --> 02:04:03,529
But thank you.

3648
02:04:04,665 --> 02:04:06,665
I appreciate you.

3649
02:04:09,136 --> 02:04:10,204
I'll keep my comments brief.

3650
02:04:10,204 --> 02:04:12,440
well, first of all, thank you

3651
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:13,173
to all the ceo staff for all

3652
02:04:13,173 --> 02:04:16,477
the ard and diligent work on

3653
02:04:16,477 --> 02:04:17,377
the strategic plan.

3654
02:04:17,377 --> 02:04:19,547
You know, I really appreciate

3655
02:04:19,547 --> 02:04:22,547
what's in the strategic plan,

3656
02:04:23,318 --> 02:04:24,352
our vision I want to reiterate

3657
02:04:24,352 --> 02:04:25,153
a vision that santa cruz county

3658
02:04:25,153 --> 02:04:27,989
is a healthy, safe and more

3659
02:04:27,989 --> 02:04:28,556
affordable community that is

3660
02:04:28,556 --> 02:04:30,556
culturally diverse and

3661
02:04:31,393 --> 02:04:31,993
economically inclusive and

3662
02:04:31,993 --> 02:04:33,993
environmentally vibrant.

3663
02:04:35,330 --> 02:04:36,131
You know, I feel that

3664
02:04:36,131 --> 02:04:37,165
appreciate that all the work

3665
02:04:37,165 --> 02:04:39,700
but I feel the brunt of it is

3666
02:04:39,700 --> 02:04:40,501
how do we get there right out

3667
02:04:40,501 --> 02:04:43,305
the steps that we take to get

3668
02:04:43,305 --> 02:04:44,500
there, the direction that we

3669
02:04:44,500 --> 02:04:46,908
take to get there, you now,

3670
02:04:46,908 --> 02:04:47,209
things like that are solid,

3671
02:04:47,209 --> 02:04:49,209
right?

3672
02:04:49,778 --> 02:04:50,446
Like everybody needs a decision

3673
02:04:50,446 --> 02:04:52,846
requires billions of equity.

3674
02:04:53,682 --> 02:04:54,383
You know, we talk about

3675
02:04:54,383 --> 02:04:56,783
affordable ommunities yet you

3676
02:04:57,586 --> 02:04:58,387
know, we don't have things like

3677
02:04:58,387 --> 02:05:01,387
payment assistance the way the

3678
02:05:01,457 --> 02:05:02,591
city wants it does.

3679
02:05:02,591 --> 02:05:03,224
So those are the things that

3680
02:05:03,224 --> 02:05:04,930
I'm going to be looking at

3681
02:05:04,930 --> 02:05:05,962
later on like the steps to

3682
02:05:05,962 --> 02:05:08,698
actually get to these goals

3683
02:05:08,698 --> 02:05:09,699
that we have.

3684
02:05:09,699 --> 02:05:10,299
But they are that pretty much

3685
02:05:10,299 --> 02:05:12,699
concludes my comments if

3686
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:13,736
anybody else does have any

3687
02:05:13,736 --> 02:05:14,470
comments, I'll take it back to

3688
02:05:14,470 --> 02:05:16,738
the oard to see if we can

3689
02:05:16,738 --> 02:05:19,738
entertain a motion to accept

3690
02:05:20,610 --> 02:05:22,610
the presentation.

3691
02:05:24,881 --> 02:05:25,315
I'll move to accept the

3692
02:05:25,315 --> 02:05:25,982
presentation.

3693
02:05:25,982 --> 02:05:27,951
You need an action, correct?

3694
02:05:27,951 --> 02:05:28,485
Yeah, just approve the

3695
02:05:28,485 --> 02:05:30,485
recommended actions.

3696
02:05:31,655 --> 02:05:32,389
Ok, I'll make a motion to

3697
02:05:32,389 --> 02:05:34,789
approve the recommended actions

3698
02:05:36,590 --> 02:05:36,659
so I can have a motion to

3699
02:05:36,659 --> 02:05:37,193
separate the second from

3700
02:05:37,193 --> 02:05:39,193
supervisor koeneke.

3701
02:05:39,596 --> 02:05:39,997
It would take a roll call vote

3702
02:05:39,997 --> 02:05:40,831
absolutely.

3703
02:05:40,831 --> 02:05:43,231
Supervisor coning by martinez

3704
02:05:43,300 --> 02:05:45,700
I'm coming to sirpa.

3705
02:05:45,736 --> 02:05:49,936
I interpret it as a motion that

3706
02:05:55,545 --> 02:05:58,545
says unanimously well it's my

3707
02:06:00,217 --> 02:06:00,885
next move to the next agenda

3708
02:06:00,885 --> 02:06:03,588
item number ten consider the

3709
02:06:03,588 --> 02:06:04,221
notice of intent to establish

3710
02:06:04,221 --> 02:06:04,889
the county fire department

3711
02:06:04,889 --> 02:06:07,692
advisory group and take all

3712
02:06:07,692 --> 02:06:08,726
related actions.

3713
02:06:08,726 --> 02:06:09,394
I'll turn it over to michael

3714
02:06:09,394 --> 02:06:11,794
beeton, director of general

3715
02:06:12,300 --> 02:06:12,730
services department and chief

3716
02:06:12,730 --> 02:06:13,231
jamie wilson of california for

3717
02:06:13,231 --> 02:06:15,231
the presentation.

3718
02:06:16,134 --> 02:06:18,134
Thank thank you.

3719
02:06:20,500 --> 02:06:20,772
Bought eternities I'd like to

3720
02:06:20,772 --> 02:06:21,373
be director of general services

3721
02:06:21,373 --> 02:06:23,641
and county fire contract

3722
02:06:23,641 --> 02:06:24,742
administrator.

3723
02:06:24,742 --> 02:06:28,460
With me today is the cal fire

3724
02:06:28,460 --> 02:06:28,714
san mateo san mateo santa cruz

3725
02:06:28,714 --> 02:06:31,714
unit chief and by agreement

3726
02:06:31,783 --> 02:06:32,584
your county fire chief chief

3727
02:06:32,584 --> 02:06:35,154
wilson today will be giving a

3728
02:06:35,154 --> 02:06:35,854
presentation about the creation

3729
02:06:35,854 --> 02:06:38,690
of the county of santa cruz

3730
02:06:38,690 --> 02:06:39,158
county fire department or

3731
02:06:39,158 --> 02:06:41,158
advisory group.

3732
02:06:42,561 --> 02:06:43,195
I think historical context the

3733
02:06:43,195 --> 02:06:43,929
county fire protection for

3734
02:06:43,929 --> 02:06:46,929
santa cruz county has primarily

3735
02:06:47,320 --> 02:06:47,733
been provided through a

3736
02:06:47,733 --> 02:06:50,133
cooperative agreement with the

3737
02:06:50,636 --> 02:06:51,360
state of california cal fire

3738
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:51,871
since 1948.

3739
02:06:51,871 --> 02:06:54,271
The agreement was originally

3740
02:06:55,241 --> 02:06:56,175
signed by the county of santa

3741
02:06:56,175 --> 02:06:59,612
cruz in 1945 or the creation of

3742
02:06:59,612 --> 02:07:00,279
the lakeway I think one of the

3743
02:07:00,279 --> 02:07:00,946
longest standing cooperative

3744
02:07:00,946 --> 02:07:02,215
agreements with the state of

3745
02:07:02,215 --> 02:07:03,150
california for fire protection

3746
02:07:03,150 --> 02:07:05,652
to help advise the county fire

3747
02:07:05,652 --> 02:07:06,886
department.

3748
02:07:06,886 --> 02:07:09,789
The county used to have a board

3749
02:07:09,789 --> 02:07:10,523
appointed commission which was

3750
02:07:10,523 --> 02:07:12,792
dissolved last calendar year at

3751
02:07:12,792 --> 02:07:13,460
the recommendation of those

3752
02:07:13,460 --> 02:07:14,940
commission members with the

3753
02:07:14,940 --> 02:07:16,494
recommendation to create a

3754
02:07:17,631 --> 02:07:18,498
departmental advisory group

3755
02:07:18,498 --> 02:07:21,340
which is being what what is

3756
02:07:21,340 --> 02:07:21,434
being recommended today for

3757
02:07:21,434 --> 02:07:22,335
your board.

3758
02:07:22,335 --> 02:07:25,271
With that I'll toss it over to

3759
02:07:25,271 --> 02:07:25,872
chief wilson to walk us through

3760
02:07:25,872 --> 02:07:26,506
some of the operational

3761
02:07:26,506 --> 02:07:27,874
procedures related to the

3762
02:07:27,874 --> 02:07:30,274
governance of the departmental

3763
02:07:32,579 --> 02:07:33,513
advisory group.

3764
02:07:33,513 --> 02:07:34,181
Good morning CHAIRMAN Board.

3765
02:07:34,181 --> 02:07:36,581
Thank you, MR. Beeton.

3766
02:07:36,717 --> 02:07:37,284
So I'm going to run through

3767
02:07:37,284 --> 02:07:37,984
partially part of the

3768
02:07:37,984 --> 02:07:40,354
presentation and then turn it

3769
02:07:40,354 --> 02:07:43,623
over to michael and let's see

3770
02:07:43,623 --> 02:07:44,859
if that's working.

3771
02:07:44,859 --> 02:07:46,560
Ok, so the purpose of the fire

3772
02:07:46,560 --> 02:07:47,595
department advisory group is to

3773
02:07:47,595 --> 02:07:51,195
provide insight to the gst on

3774
02:07:51,198 --> 02:07:51,499
the matters related to county

3775
02:07:51,499 --> 02:07:52,200
fire.

3776
02:07:52,200 --> 02:07:55,102
We have a very diverse

3777
02:07:55,102 --> 02:07:55,803
community in our county and

3778
02:07:55,803 --> 02:07:58,639
making sure that those people

3779
02:07:58,639 --> 02:07:59,373
and constituents in csa forty

3780
02:07:59,373 --> 02:08:00,740
are protected and promoted will

3781
02:08:00,740 --> 02:08:02,474
be the primary responsibility

3782
02:08:02,844 --> 02:08:04,844
of this group.

3783
02:08:06,114 --> 02:08:06,748
The term of this group will be

3784
02:08:06,748 --> 02:08:07,449
once the board approves a

3785
02:08:07,449 --> 02:08:10,449
written notice that it's been

3786
02:08:11,185 --> 02:08:11,853
adopted and then an estimated

3787
02:08:11,853 --> 02:08:14,253
termination date of DECEMBER

3788
02:08:14,522 --> 02:08:18,122
31st twenty twenty six and the

3789
02:08:18,193 --> 02:08:18,927
director of general services

3790
02:08:18,927 --> 02:08:21,429
will have the ability to extend

3791
02:08:21,429 --> 02:08:25,290
that term with notice to the

3792
02:08:25,660 --> 02:08:27,466
board governance and operations

3793
02:08:29,370 --> 02:08:32,637
this this group excuse me would

3794
02:08:32,641 --> 02:08:33,708
not operate under the brown act

3795
02:08:33,708 --> 02:08:36,646
so it would not be under the

3796
02:08:36,646 --> 02:08:37,479
rules of the brown act it would

3797
02:08:37,479 --> 02:08:39,879
operate ithout formal bylaws

3798
02:08:41,149 --> 02:08:41,783
but the director of general

3799
02:08:41,783 --> 02:08:44,183
services would oversee and

3800
02:08:44,453 --> 02:08:45,540
determine terminate determine

3801
02:08:45,540 --> 02:08:47,540
necessary procedures and

3802
02:08:48,124 --> 02:08:48,724
conduct the conduct of the

3803
02:08:48,724 --> 02:08:49,759
business of this group.

3804
02:08:49,759 --> 02:08:53,359
And there are some county code

3805
02:08:53,463 --> 02:08:54,970
section noted there but I will

3806
02:08:54,970 --> 02:08:56,499
not read those out for you

3807
02:08:56,499 --> 02:08:57,333
there in the presentation

3808
02:08:57,333 --> 02:08:59,733
membership the membership of

3809
02:09:00,403 --> 02:09:01,137
this board would either be a

3810
02:09:01,137 --> 02:09:04,400
resident from santa cruz county

3811
02:09:04,400 --> 02:09:04,541
or somebody who works within

3812
02:09:04,541 --> 02:09:05,441
santa cruz ounty.

3813
02:09:05,441 --> 02:09:07,877
At no point in time would there

3814
02:09:07,877 --> 02:09:10,877
be less than five appointed

3815
02:09:11,948 --> 02:09:12,749
individuals to this group.

3816
02:09:12,749 --> 02:09:15,685
It is the initial invitation

3817
02:09:15,685 --> 02:09:16,486
for this group will be those

3818
02:09:16,486 --> 02:09:17,186
former members of the fire

3819
02:09:17,186 --> 02:09:19,186
department advisory commission

3820
02:09:20,490 --> 02:09:21,124
and that will allow for there

3821
02:09:21,124 --> 02:09:22,860
to be some continuity and

3822
02:09:22,860 --> 02:09:23,861
understanding of what county

3823
02:09:23,861 --> 02:09:24,495
fire is and how it works the

3824
02:09:24,495 --> 02:09:27,498
gst and then from there it

3825
02:09:27,498 --> 02:09:28,131
would move forward if you if

3826
02:09:28,131 --> 02:09:30,531
someone was interested in

3827
02:09:32,200 --> 02:09:32,602
requesting membership they

3828
02:09:32,602 --> 02:09:34,805
would do so through the

3829
02:09:34,805 --> 02:09:35,606
director of general services

3830
02:09:35,606 --> 02:09:36,440
either an electronic or written

3831
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:38,609
format at which they would be

3832
02:09:38,609 --> 02:09:42,209
evaluated to see if they have

3833
02:09:42,280 --> 02:09:43,800
the the understanding of the

3834
02:09:43,800 --> 02:09:46,800
topic being discussed by the

3835
02:09:49,820 --> 02:09:50,854
group.

3836
02:09:50,854 --> 02:09:53,240
So the terms of the membership

3837
02:09:53,240 --> 02:09:53,424
there are to serve the term of

3838
02:09:53,424 --> 02:09:55,424
the group.

3839
02:09:56,928 --> 02:09:57,729
However, the idea behind the

3840
02:09:57,729 --> 02:09:58,263
group is that it will be

3841
02:09:58,263 --> 02:10:00,263
adjusted as needed.

3842
02:10:00,966 --> 02:10:01,766
So some examples I have of

3843
02:10:01,766 --> 02:10:04,766
their topic is finance and

3844
02:10:05,136 --> 02:10:05,971
budget.

3845
02:10:05,971 --> 02:10:06,705
It would probably be someone

3846
02:10:06,705 --> 02:10:09,307
who has a background in finance

3847
02:10:09,307 --> 02:10:10,750
and budget within a county so

3848
02:10:10,750 --> 02:10:12,744
we can do forecasting and have

3849
02:10:12,744 --> 02:10:13,745
good transparency there.

3850
02:10:13,745 --> 02:10:14,479
we completed the master plan

3851
02:10:14,479 --> 02:10:15,981
which was approved by the board

3852
02:10:15,981 --> 02:10:16,948
last year.

3853
02:10:16,948 --> 02:10:17,249
The next step is the strategic

3854
02:10:17,249 --> 02:10:17,883
plan.

3855
02:10:17,883 --> 02:10:20,686
So moving forward with the

3856
02:10:20,686 --> 02:10:21,387
strategic plan, people that

3857
02:10:21,387 --> 02:10:24,290
have a background in that have

3858
02:10:24,290 --> 02:10:25,900
seen what strategic planning

3859
02:10:25,900 --> 02:10:28,393
and how it is implemented so

3860
02:10:28,393 --> 02:10:29,280
that might be a retired fire

3861
02:10:29,280 --> 02:10:29,828
chief that was within the

3862
02:10:29,828 --> 02:10:32,640
county or one of your districts

3863
02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:32,765
or somebody with some

3864
02:10:32,765 --> 02:10:33,399
historical knowledge and then

3865
02:10:33,399 --> 02:10:36,200
there is the potential for

3866
02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:36,554
reorganization within county

3867
02:10:36,554 --> 02:10:37,690
fire.

3868
02:10:37,690 --> 02:10:39,806
So would also be bringing in

3869
02:10:39,806 --> 02:10:40,672
people that have participated

3870
02:10:40,672 --> 02:10:43,609
in a reorganization within the

3871
02:10:43,609 --> 02:10:46,913
county that maybe is under the

3872
02:10:46,913 --> 02:10:47,713
lefko recommendation so that

3873
02:10:47,713 --> 02:10:50,713
county is getting a good

3874
02:10:51,518 --> 02:10:51,818
understand of what needs to be

3875
02:10:51,818 --> 02:10:53,818
done.

3876
02:10:55,388 --> 02:10:56,220
Subcommittees there will be the

3877
02:10:56,220 --> 02:10:58,220
ability for subcommittees.

3878
02:10:59,492 --> 02:11:00,270
This will be at the director of

3879
02:11:00,270 --> 02:11:02,194
gsd termination of a

3880
02:11:02,194 --> 02:11:05,194
subcommittee is needed to be

3881
02:11:09,736 --> 02:11:10,737
formed meetings they will be

3882
02:11:10,737 --> 02:11:14,337
held as needed virtually or in

3883
02:11:14,374 --> 02:11:15,420
locations across the county as

3884
02:11:15,420 --> 02:11:16,944
previously stated we have a

3885
02:11:16,944 --> 02:11:17,645
very diverse county.

3886
02:11:17,645 --> 02:11:20,450
It's geographically small but

3887
02:11:20,948 --> 02:11:21,982
also geographically large.

3888
02:11:21,982 --> 02:11:22,784
So if you're up in boulder

3889
02:11:22,784 --> 02:11:25,119
creek and you need to go to a

3890
02:11:25,119 --> 02:11:26,530
meeting in watsonville as some

3891
02:11:26,530 --> 02:11:29,155
of us know that is a trek.

3892
02:11:29,155 --> 02:11:30,124
So virtual meetings will be an

3893
02:11:30,124 --> 02:11:32,860
option o that we are affording

3894
02:11:32,860 --> 02:11:33,528
that opportunity for everybody

3895
02:11:33,528 --> 02:11:33,928
who's on the group to

3896
02:11:33,928 --> 02:11:35,928
participate.

3897
02:11:36,864 --> 02:11:37,665
There will be no quorum

3898
02:11:37,665 --> 02:11:40,665
requirement and the director of

3899
02:11:41,269 --> 02:11:43,669
justice will facilitate those

3900
02:11:44,906 --> 02:11:45,840
meetings.

3901
02:11:45,840 --> 02:11:48,209
The notice of the meetings will

3902
02:11:48,209 --> 02:11:48,743
be posted on the county fire

3903
02:11:48,743 --> 02:11:49,644
department web page.

3904
02:11:49,644 --> 02:11:52,681
Seventy two hours prior to the

3905
02:11:52,681 --> 02:11:53,448
meeting and an email to all of

3906
02:11:53,448 --> 02:11:56,251
those that are to attend would

3907
02:11:56,251 --> 02:11:56,951
be sent out with the

3908
02:11:56,951 --> 02:11:59,351
understanding that they would

3909
02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:00,922
respond within 48 hours they

3910
02:12:00,922 --> 02:12:01,723
were going to be attending to

3911
02:12:01,723 --> 02:12:03,926
make sure that we have a viable

3912
02:12:03,926 --> 02:12:05,926
meeting wasting individuals

3913
02:12:07,595 --> 02:12:10,595
times the notices of meetings.

3914
02:12:10,866 --> 02:12:11,400
The second part here is

3915
02:12:11,400 --> 02:12:12,101
inviting the public.

3916
02:12:12,101 --> 02:12:14,101
These meetings necessarily

3917
02:12:15,371 --> 02:12:16,205
won't always be public facing

3918
02:12:16,205 --> 02:12:19,375
meetings but there will be the

3919
02:12:19,375 --> 02:12:19,674
opportunity for public to have

3920
02:12:19,674 --> 02:12:20,609
input.

3921
02:12:20,609 --> 02:12:22,812
We want to make sure that we're

3922
02:12:22,812 --> 02:12:23,512
being transparent with the

3923
02:12:23,512 --> 02:12:24,213
decisions being made with the

3924
02:12:24,213 --> 02:12:26,415
gst and county fire to the

3925
02:12:26,415 --> 02:12:29,415
constituents of csa forty eight

3926
02:12:30,119 --> 02:12:31,120
and they will be hosted agendas

3927
02:12:31,120 --> 02:12:34,624
meetings would all be posted on

3928
02:12:34,624 --> 02:12:35,291
the website similar to what we

3929
02:12:35,291 --> 02:12:38,270
did prior with the advisory

3930
02:12:38,270 --> 02:12:39,280
committee.

3931
02:12:39,280 --> 02:12:41,964
Want to turn it over to

3932
02:12:41,964 --> 02:12:42,565
director b?

3933
02:12:42,565 --> 02:12:43,400
Thank you chief.

3934
02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:46,400
So kind of what chief

3935
02:12:46,802 --> 02:12:47,470
identified is we do plan on

3936
02:12:47,470 --> 02:12:49,105
posting the agendas onto the

3937
02:12:49,105 --> 02:12:50,600
county fire web page.

3938
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:50,740
We're also potentially going to

3939
02:12:50,740 --> 02:12:53,577
explore the county center's new

3940
02:12:53,577 --> 02:12:54,211
agenda management's which has a

3941
02:12:54,211 --> 02:12:57,800
very good platform for the

3942
02:12:57,800 --> 02:12:57,713
public to actually see the

3943
02:12:57,713 --> 02:13:00,113
different agenda items and

3944
02:13:00,450 --> 02:13:01,117
topics minutes will be

3945
02:13:01,117 --> 02:13:01,819
maintained and available and

3946
02:13:01,819 --> 02:13:05,289
posted on the county fire web

3947
02:13:05,289 --> 02:13:07,257
page for any discussion points

3948
02:13:07,257 --> 02:13:10,257
that MAY arise from those

3949
02:13:11,529 --> 02:13:12,229
meetings is anticipated that

3950
02:13:12,229 --> 02:13:15,229
will have the fire department

3951
02:13:15,533 --> 02:13:18,533
advisory group submit a annual

3952
02:13:19,503 --> 02:13:20,137
report detailing the roles, the

3953
02:13:20,137 --> 02:13:20,837
objectives, some of the

3954
02:13:20,837 --> 02:13:23,237
accomplishments that we've had

3955
02:13:23,541 --> 02:13:24,274
the departmental advisor group

3956
02:13:24,274 --> 02:13:27,274
accomplished over the past year

3957
02:13:27,378 --> 02:13:28,780
that this report will be

3958
02:13:28,780 --> 02:13:30,714
submitted to the U.S. Director

3959
02:13:30,714 --> 02:13:31,114
on an annual basis including

3960
02:13:31,114 --> 02:13:31,950
attendance.

3961
02:13:31,950 --> 02:13:34,919
We do anticipate setting the

3962
02:13:34,919 --> 02:13:35,620
attendance reports to the

3963
02:13:35,620 --> 02:13:36,287
county board of supervisors to

3964
02:13:36,287 --> 02:13:39,190
show the frequency and maybe

3965
02:13:39,190 --> 02:13:39,890
some of the objectives that

3966
02:13:39,890 --> 02:13:42,890
have been accomplished by the

3967
02:13:46,331 --> 02:13:48,731
departmental advisory group a

3968
02:13:54,473 --> 02:13:57,309
one to thank you for the

3969
02:13:57,309 --> 02:13:58,143
department advisory.

3970
02:13:58,143 --> 02:14:01,143
All records will be maintained

3971
02:14:01,513 --> 02:14:02,214
as public records and available

3972
02:14:02,214 --> 02:14:02,948
to the public again we do

3973
02:14:02,948 --> 02:14:05,348
anticipate utilizing the county

3974
02:14:06,850 --> 02:14:06,752
power web page for a lot of the

3975
02:14:06,752 --> 02:14:09,422
repository if there are any

3976
02:14:09,422 --> 02:14:10,550
paper copies we'll be

3977
02:14:10,550 --> 02:14:10,756
maintained within general

3978
02:14:10,756 --> 02:14:13,158
services and available to any

3979
02:14:13,158 --> 02:14:13,825
and all to actually see and we

3980
02:14:13,825 --> 02:14:16,225
do strongly encourage public

3981
02:14:17,960 --> 02:14:17,697
participation in any topic that

3982
02:14:17,697 --> 02:14:18,731
we do have.

3983
02:14:18,731 --> 02:14:21,534
We especially with a lot of the

3984
02:14:21,534 --> 02:14:22,200
endeavors identified in the

3985
02:14:22,200 --> 02:14:24,137
county fire master plan and

3986
02:14:24,137 --> 02:14:24,971
some of the other initiatives

3987
02:14:24,971 --> 02:14:25,337
that we are going to be

3988
02:14:25,337 --> 02:14:26,380
exploring.

3989
02:14:26,380 --> 02:14:28,740
Public participation is going

3990
02:14:28,740 --> 02:14:31,674
to be very important to help

3991
02:14:33,120 --> 02:14:33,613
guide as part of he kind of

3992
02:14:33,613 --> 02:14:36,130
code the fire department

3993
02:14:36,282 --> 02:14:36,883
advisory group would be

3994
02:14:36,883 --> 02:14:39,850
eligible for stipends to

3995
02:14:39,850 --> 02:14:39,919
compensate them for their work

3996
02:14:39,919 --> 02:14:40,587
and helping out the county fire

3997
02:14:40,587 --> 02:14:42,987
department to achieve their

3998
02:14:44,725 --> 02:14:45,459
goals with that that kind of

3999
02:14:45,459 --> 02:14:47,859
covers the operating procedures

4000
02:14:48,610 --> 02:14:48,795
related to the fire department

4001
02:14:48,795 --> 02:14:49,496
advisory group and both chief

4002
02:14:49,496 --> 02:14:50,297
wilson and I are available for

4003
02:14:50,297 --> 02:14:53,297
any questions or comments the

4004
02:14:54,902 --> 02:14:58,772
board MAY have to get out to

4005
02:14:58,772 --> 02:14:59,506
the public first to see if

4006
02:14:59,506 --> 02:15:03,106
anyone in the public would like

4007
02:15:06,247 --> 02:15:06,647
to comment.

4008
02:15:06,647 --> 02:15:08,647
Thank you.

4009
02:15:09,216 --> 02:15:11,216
Thank steinbrenner.

4010
02:15:13,688 --> 02:15:17,458
I live in csa forty eight and I

4011
02:15:17,458 --> 02:15:17,992
have attended many of the

4012
02:15:17,992 --> 02:15:19,992
former fda meetings.

4013
02:15:20,862 --> 02:15:22,960
I have a lot of concerns about

4014
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:25,500
it as a ember of the public I

4015
02:15:25,500 --> 02:15:26,301
don't see how it can be

4016
02:15:26,301 --> 02:15:29,901
transparent for a group to meet

4017
02:15:32,140 --> 02:15:32,941
as needed and expect any

4018
02:15:32,941 --> 02:15:36,178
members of the public to to

4019
02:15:36,178 --> 02:15:37,770
know to go to the website and

4020
02:15:37,770 --> 02:15:40,677
look where the meeting is going

4021
02:15:40,716 --> 02:15:41,350
to be held whether or not the

4022
02:15:41,350 --> 02:15:44,753
public is even going to be

4023
02:15:44,753 --> 02:15:48,353
allowed and if we are allowed

4024
02:15:48,824 --> 02:15:49,625
it says we would only be able

4025
02:15:49,625 --> 02:15:52,270
to speak at the end of the

4026
02:15:52,270 --> 02:15:52,628
meeting.

4027
02:15:52,628 --> 02:15:54,628
This isn't right.

4028
02:15:56,599 --> 02:15:59,869
I also don't think that people

4029
02:15:59,869 --> 02:16:03,139
should be it who do not live in

4030
02:16:03,139 --> 02:16:03,940
csa 48.

4031
02:16:03,940 --> 02:16:04,974
That has been a problem.

4032
02:16:04,974 --> 02:16:07,710
It was a problem with the fact

4033
02:16:07,710 --> 02:16:08,511
there was a member on there

4034
02:16:08,511 --> 02:16:12,111
that was not served by county

4035
02:16:19,121 --> 02:16:19,455
fire department and it was a

4036
02:16:19,455 --> 02:16:20,122
problem.

4037
02:16:20,122 --> 02:16:20,824
The county changed the rules

4038
02:16:20,824 --> 02:16:21,458
then and I guess that's what's

4039
02:16:21,458 --> 02:16:21,958
happening here but I don't

4040
02:16:21,958 --> 02:16:22,992
think it's right.

4041
02:16:22,992 --> 02:16:24,270
I think the application process

4042
02:16:24,270 --> 02:16:26,196
is very vague to send an

4043
02:16:26,196 --> 02:16:27,197
electronic letter or written to

4044
02:16:27,197 --> 02:16:28,310
MR. Beeton but there's no

4045
02:16:28,310 --> 02:16:30,734
indication how to do that or

4046
02:16:30,734 --> 02:16:31,100
where an application form would

4047
02:16:31,100 --> 02:16:33,100
be.

4048
02:16:34,237 --> 02:16:35,238
What sort of detail would be

4049
02:16:35,238 --> 02:16:39,438
used as a criteria to get on

4050
02:16:42,513 --> 02:16:43,180
this this group and that it's

4051
02:16:43,180 --> 02:16:46,517
not subject to the brown act

4052
02:16:46,517 --> 02:16:49,517
really concerns me a lot.

4053
02:16:50,387 --> 02:16:50,720
This is not with no formal

4054
02:16:50,720 --> 02:16:51,622
bylaws.

4055
02:16:51,622 --> 02:16:54,910
This is not a step to

4056
02:16:54,910 --> 02:16:54,558
transparency and

4057
02:16:54,558 --> 02:16:55,960
accountability.

4058
02:16:55,960 --> 02:16:59,560
I think it's closing the public

4059
02:17:00,231 --> 02:17:02,231
out.

4060
02:17:04,100 --> 02:17:05,200
I do appreciate afkos endeavor

4061
02:17:05,200 --> 02:17:08,406
behind this to try to get an

4062
02:17:08,406 --> 02:17:09,140
elected board of directors to

4063
02:17:09,140 --> 02:17:09,407
serve on county fire instead of

4064
02:17:09,407 --> 02:17:11,407
you.

4065
02:17:12,744 --> 02:17:16,447
Not that that you are not good

4066
02:17:16,447 --> 02:17:19,830
leaders but that's that's the

4067
02:17:19,830 --> 02:17:20,118
driving force behind this and I

4068
02:17:20,118 --> 02:17:23,718
think that what needs to happen

4069
02:17:24,389 --> 02:17:25,190
is proposition 170 money needs

4070
02:17:25,190 --> 02:17:28,790
to be directed to fund county

4071
02:17:28,993 --> 02:17:29,661
fire and there needs to be an

4072
02:17:29,661 --> 02:17:31,597
after action eport with the

4073
02:17:31,597 --> 02:17:32,397
volunteers from the fire.

4074
02:17:32,397 --> 02:17:32,830
It's never been done and is

4075
02:17:32,830 --> 02:17:34,830
sorely needed.

4076
02:17:41,406 --> 02:17:41,840
Thank thank you for sharing

4077
02:17:41,840 --> 02:17:43,840
your hair.

4078
02:17:45,110 --> 02:17:46,450
I was just wondering is there a

4079
02:17:46,450 --> 02:17:49,450
formal way that the public

4080
02:17:49,582 --> 02:17:53,182
could sign up for and beyond

4081
02:17:53,653 --> 02:17:54,320
email list for when the

4082
02:17:54,320 --> 02:17:57,320
meetings are held and maybe

4083
02:17:57,689 --> 02:17:58,357
just the minutes even after the

4084
02:17:58,357 --> 02:18:00,693
meetings that sort of thing

4085
02:18:00,693 --> 02:18:01,361
like they do with a was mini

4086
02:18:01,361 --> 02:18:04,361
city board meetings in this

4087
02:18:04,497 --> 02:18:06,897
meeting and so forth.

4088
02:18:08,167 --> 02:18:10,167
Thank you.

4089
02:18:12,238 --> 02:18:12,839
Anyone online?

4090
02:18:12,839 --> 02:18:14,839
Yes, ure.

4091
02:18:17,210 --> 02:18:20,810
Well and use your to your

4092
02:18:27,454 --> 02:18:29,854
microphones now available I

4093
02:18:30,691 --> 02:18:34,161
would like everyone to of this

4094
02:18:34,161 --> 02:18:36,561
time bremner's could teach

4095
02:18:41,902 --> 02:18:44,902
jeffersonians inc. In to a

4096
02:18:45,373 --> 02:18:46,173
future presentation on this

4097
02:18:46,173 --> 02:18:49,173
topic and them via fire

4098
02:18:50,780 --> 02:18:53,347
advisory board and it used to

4099
02:18:53,347 --> 02:18:56,347
be one party warm was

4100
02:19:01,489 --> 02:19:04,489
supervisor she would have could

4101
02:19:05,360 --> 02:19:08,960
have some and called for future

4102
02:19:09,264 --> 02:19:11,664
meetings or incorporate it

4103
02:19:13,535 --> 02:19:15,935
anyway I'm thinking everything

4104
02:19:16,605 --> 02:19:20,205
that that case made sense and

4105
02:19:20,275 --> 02:19:22,675
makes what you're proposing

4106
02:19:25,147 --> 02:19:27,147
antidemocratic and exclusionary

4107
02:19:28,649 --> 02:19:32,249
to the public any which is

4108
02:19:32,721 --> 02:19:35,721
that's advisory by whom we've

4109
02:19:36,758 --> 02:19:39,758
heard about the lithium battery

4110
02:19:41,300 --> 02:19:44,630
fires and they happen with a

4111
02:19:44,634 --> 02:19:47,340
buycks electric vehicle called

4112
02:19:48,271 --> 02:19:50,671
cell towers smart meters.

4113
02:19:52,542 --> 02:19:53,376
Any advisory group needs to

4114
02:19:53,376 --> 02:19:56,376
addressing and calling for a

4115
02:19:59,182 --> 02:20:02,182
halt to these fire prone

4116
02:20:04,120 --> 02:20:07,357
devices also I want to root for

4117
02:20:07,357 --> 02:20:09,757
people to feather river

4118
02:20:11,194 --> 02:20:12,229
watershed alliance dot org

4119
02:20:12,229 --> 02:20:15,829
article here called new wave of

4120
02:20:16,199 --> 02:20:19,199
wild forest destruction in name

4121
02:20:19,703 --> 02:20:22,703
of thinning and of climate

4122
02:20:23,773 --> 02:20:26,773
solution biomass coming to your

4123
02:20:27,645 --> 02:20:28,445
area we're told and here over

4124
02:20:28,445 --> 02:20:31,445
and over again about thinning

4125
02:20:31,749 --> 02:20:33,749
and clearing brush.

4126
02:20:36,530 --> 02:20:36,420
Tim, your microphone is now

4127
02:20:36,420 --> 02:20:38,420
available.

4128
02:20:39,223 --> 02:20:42,223
Thank you so much again.

4129
02:20:42,493 --> 02:20:43,294
Yeah, becky's comments are

4130
02:20:43,294 --> 02:20:46,497
incredible as she's a whole lot

4131
02:20:46,497 --> 02:20:47,197
smarter than I am.

4132
02:20:47,197 --> 02:20:47,465
There's no doubt about that

4133
02:20:47,465 --> 02:20:49,465
one.

4134
02:20:50,802 --> 02:20:54,506
And you know the thing is here

4135
02:20:54,506 --> 02:20:55,206
this whole issue of fire this

4136
02:20:55,206 --> 02:20:57,308
is probably the most important

4137
02:20:57,308 --> 02:20:58,310
topic for santa cruz county

4138
02:20:58,310 --> 02:21:01,847
going nto this summer and for

4139
02:21:01,847 --> 02:21:02,547
the next our years with the

4140
02:21:02,547 --> 02:21:04,947
trump administration and this

4141
02:21:06,500 --> 02:21:09,421
guy remember he was out there

4142
02:21:09,421 --> 02:21:09,821
holding up a rake during his

4143
02:21:09,821 --> 02:21:11,560
last term.

4144
02:21:11,560 --> 02:21:14,260
Ok, so we don't want to be

4145
02:21:14,260 --> 02:21:14,560
subjected to any of that and we

4146
02:21:14,560 --> 02:21:16,560
certainly don't want

4147
02:21:17,662 --> 02:21:20,620
homelessness to be aggravated.

4148
02:21:21,567 --> 02:21:22,268
We all know what happened down

4149
02:21:22,268 --> 02:21:25,805
there in los angeles so that

4150
02:21:25,805 --> 02:21:26,138
that also puts ressure on our

4151
02:21:26,138 --> 02:21:28,138
county.

4152
02:21:28,741 --> 02:21:29,574
So hearing becky's comments

4153
02:21:29,574 --> 02:21:32,574
here, I am quite concerned

4154
02:21:33,279 --> 02:21:37,116
about who is going to be behind

4155
02:21:37,116 --> 02:21:38,117
the wheel here and it should be

4156
02:21:38,117 --> 02:21:41,870
a situation like in in south

4157
02:21:41,870 --> 02:21:41,754
tahoe in a tidal basin where we

4158
02:21:41,754 --> 02:21:44,754
have people that aren't from

4159
02:21:44,857 --> 02:21:45,491
our community and they're the

4160
02:21:45,491 --> 02:21:47,660
ones calling the shots and

4161
02:21:47,660 --> 02:21:48,694
they're destroying the place.

4162
02:21:48,694 --> 02:21:51,694
So you know, these comments

4163
02:21:51,765 --> 02:21:53,166
here from becky are real.

4164
02:21:53,166 --> 02:21:56,135
It's a big deal and I think we

4165
02:21:56,135 --> 02:21:56,436
all need to get in front of

4166
02:21:56,436 --> 02:21:57,304
this.

4167
02:21:57,304 --> 02:22:00,700
You know, with the summer

4168
02:22:00,700 --> 02:22:00,807
coming there's not a lot of

4169
02:22:00,807 --> 02:22:03,544
time and you look on the top

4170
02:22:03,544 --> 02:22:04,344
here probably larger buffer

4171
02:22:04,344 --> 02:22:07,800
ought to be cleared out and

4172
02:22:07,800 --> 02:22:07,548
maybe more wineries put in to

4173
02:22:07,548 --> 02:22:09,548
create a buffer.

4174
02:22:10,384 --> 02:22:11,418
So this way fire doesn't cross

4175
02:22:11,418 --> 02:22:12,152
over the top and burn down the

4176
02:22:12,152 --> 02:22:15,152
whole mountain into santa cruz.

4177
02:22:15,322 --> 02:22:18,359
So there's a lot of things to

4178
02:22:18,359 --> 02:22:19,590
talk about and I am 100 percent

4179
02:22:19,590 --> 02:22:21,459
supportive of becky's comments

4180
02:22:22,695 --> 02:22:23,960
on this matter anyways, thank

4181
02:22:23,960 --> 02:22:24,980
you so much.

4182
02:22:24,980 --> 02:22:26,300
You take it easy and let's hope

4183
02:22:26,300 --> 02:22:29,504
that it doesn't turn into a

4184
02:22:29,504 --> 02:22:30,438
situation where say supervisor

4185
02:22:30,438 --> 02:22:33,908
cummings and I are both sharing

4186
02:22:33,908 --> 02:22:34,609
a tent along the san leandro

4187
02:22:34,609 --> 02:22:37,712
river down there after a fire

4188
02:22:37,712 --> 02:22:38,947
that would be highly bogus.

4189
02:22:38,947 --> 02:22:41,415
I'm sure you folks have a great

4190
02:22:41,415 --> 02:22:45,150
day and you have no further

4191
02:22:45,420 --> 02:22:46,530
speakers with that I'll bring

4192
02:22:46,530 --> 02:22:46,653
back to the board for our

4193
02:22:46,653 --> 02:22:48,653
comments and questions.

4194
02:22:48,890 --> 02:22:52,490
I'll begin to the media speak

4195
02:22:52,693 --> 02:22:53,762
with supervisor coming in and

4196
02:22:53,762 --> 02:22:56,398
we can just stop and see if you

4197
02:22:56,398 --> 02:22:57,232
can comment on some of the

4198
02:22:57,232 --> 02:22:57,565
issues that were raised by the

4199
02:22:57,565 --> 02:22:59,565
public.

4200
02:23:00,202 --> 02:23:00,869
yeah, absolutely.

4201
02:23:00,869 --> 02:23:01,637
Thank you, supervisor to

4202
02:23:01,637 --> 02:23:05,237
respond to some of the comments

4203
02:23:06,574 --> 02:23:07,809
that were just identified by

4204
02:23:07,809 --> 02:23:10,813
the way, we have a map of the

4205
02:23:10,813 --> 02:23:11,680
district.

4206
02:23:11,680 --> 02:23:12,348
One of the things that I'm

4207
02:23:12,348 --> 02:23:14,550
interested in the questions

4208
02:23:14,550 --> 02:23:15,384
that were raised by the public

4209
02:23:15,384 --> 02:23:18,384
was the sort of the

4210
02:23:18,587 --> 02:23:19,588
representation of the area a

4211
02:23:19,588 --> 02:23:21,891
region so that every region is

4212
02:23:21,891 --> 02:23:22,525
represented and is able to

4213
02:23:22,525 --> 02:23:24,925
advocate for that region.

4214
02:23:25,494 --> 02:23:26,529
Yeah, we actually don't have a

4215
02:23:26,529 --> 02:23:27,163
map with us right now identify

4216
02:23:27,163 --> 02:23:29,832
as county fire but we can

4217
02:23:29,832 --> 02:23:30,567
absolutely sure that I know

4218
02:23:30,567 --> 02:23:31,200
it's available on the county

4219
02:23:31,200 --> 02:23:34,690
fire web page apologies we

4220
02:23:34,690 --> 02:23:34,771
don't have it right now unless

4221
02:23:34,771 --> 02:23:35,710
we can get it set up right

4222
02:23:35,710 --> 02:23:35,771
here.

4223
02:23:35,771 --> 02:23:39,371
But to address some of the

4224
02:23:39,575 --> 02:23:39,809
questions we're just identified

4225
02:23:39,809 --> 02:23:40,210
.

4226
02:23:40,210 --> 02:23:40,910
Absolutely.

4227
02:23:40,910 --> 02:23:41,611
If there is somebody from the

4228
02:23:41,611 --> 02:23:44,314
public that would like to get

4229
02:23:44,314 --> 02:23:45,480
on a mailing list or added to

4230
02:23:45,480 --> 02:23:47,918
every single meeting that we do

4231
02:23:47,918 --> 02:23:48,585
have absolutely include them

4232
02:23:48,585 --> 02:23:50,985
into that distribution list

4233
02:23:52,220 --> 02:23:52,723
completely across the board.

4234
02:23:52,723 --> 02:23:55,723
The question related to the

4235
02:23:56,930 --> 02:23:56,827
brown act so the brannock

4236
02:23:56,827 --> 02:23:58,595
question has been popped up the

4237
02:23:58,595 --> 02:23:59,295
previous fire department

4238
02:23:59,295 --> 02:24:01,295
advisory commission identified

4239
02:24:02,666 --> 02:24:03,500
that the brown act for what

4240
02:24:03,500 --> 02:24:04,133
they are doing since they were

4241
02:24:04,133 --> 02:24:06,904
not a decision making ody

4242
02:24:06,904 --> 02:24:07,571
really hindered their ability

4243
02:24:07,571 --> 02:24:10,571
to actually have open dialog

4244
02:24:10,908 --> 02:24:11,542
and discussion help educate

4245
02:24:11,542 --> 02:24:13,542
regarding different topics

4246
02:24:14,577 --> 02:24:15,413
related to county fire.

4247
02:24:15,413 --> 02:24:18,413
So the recommendation that we

4248
02:24:18,950 --> 02:24:19,650
do have today for your board is

4249
02:24:19,650 --> 02:24:21,952
that this body not be a brown

4250
02:24:21,952 --> 02:24:22,619
act governing body large in

4251
02:24:22,619 --> 02:24:23,187
part that this is not a

4252
02:24:23,187 --> 02:24:25,187
decision making body.

4253
02:24:25,823 --> 02:24:26,524
This is a really, truly

4254
02:24:26,524 --> 02:24:29,524
advisory body that's going to

4255
02:24:30,280 --> 02:24:33,231
be helping chief wilson and I

4256
02:24:33,231 --> 02:24:33,732
come to this oard here to make

4257
02:24:33,732 --> 02:24:34,498
recommendations.

4258
02:24:34,498 --> 02:24:37,498
So from the perspective of

4259
02:24:37,969 --> 02:24:38,670
being an advisory capacity and

4260
02:24:38,670 --> 02:24:39,237
not a decision making body is

4261
02:24:39,237 --> 02:24:41,637
the reason it's being

4262
02:24:41,939 --> 02:24:42,307
recommended for a non brown act

4263
02:24:42,307 --> 02:24:44,307
component.

4264
02:24:46,345 --> 02:24:46,745
So I do see a map that's been

4265
02:24:46,745 --> 02:24:47,645
identified.

4266
02:24:47,645 --> 02:24:49,147
I'll check it out and on the

4267
02:24:49,147 --> 02:24:49,715
ground to shoot another

4268
02:24:49,715 --> 02:24:51,715
advantage for advisory

4269
02:24:52,551 --> 02:24:53,385
committee is they can meet

4270
02:24:53,385 --> 02:24:54,190
virtually which is a big

4271
02:24:54,190 --> 02:24:57,190
advantage in the brown ag

4272
02:24:57,220 --> 02:24:59,422
committee cannot meet virtually

4273
02:25:00,826 --> 02:25:01,494
and these are folks who have

4274
02:25:01,494 --> 02:25:03,894
often have other commitments

4275
02:25:04,563 --> 02:25:05,564
and they can, you know, log on

4276
02:25:05,564 --> 02:25:08,340
to zoom it so it's easier to

4277
02:25:08,340 --> 02:25:08,768
meet as opposed to have

4278
02:25:08,768 --> 02:25:11,671
everybody come together and you

4279
02:25:11,671 --> 02:25:12,471
have trouble meeting a quorum.

4280
02:25:12,471 --> 02:25:15,408
There have been attempts in the

4281
02:25:15,408 --> 02:25:16,209
legislature to exempt

4282
02:25:16,209 --> 02:25:19,209
committees from the project but

4283
02:25:19,545 --> 02:25:20,546
they have not been successful.

4284
02:25:20,546 --> 02:25:22,815
So anyway, that's another one

4285
02:25:22,815 --> 02:25:23,449
of the other big advantages is

4286
02:25:23,449 --> 02:25:24,184
the ability made virtually

4287
02:25:24,184 --> 02:25:26,886
which many of our commissioners

4288
02:25:26,886 --> 02:25:27,654
by the way have requested can

4289
02:25:27,654 --> 02:25:28,354
you know can we meet virtually

4290
02:25:28,354 --> 02:25:30,790
as opposed to everybody get in

4291
02:25:30,790 --> 02:25:31,725
the car and drive down?

4292
02:25:31,725 --> 02:25:34,860
I think this one has a bigger

4293
02:25:34,860 --> 02:25:37,697
distance as well saratoga to

4294
02:25:37,697 --> 02:25:38,732
guerrilleros with the traffic.

4295
02:25:38,732 --> 02:25:41,732
Do you have any further

4296
02:25:46,390 --> 02:25:46,939
questions the supervisor you

4297
02:25:46,939 --> 02:25:49,443
ask what you ask for the map.

4298
02:25:49,443 --> 02:25:50,277
So I'm happy to have the

4299
02:25:50,277 --> 02:25:53,277
gallons but you interjected so

4300
02:25:53,314 --> 02:25:54,140
my my well some of the comments

4301
02:25:54,140 --> 02:25:57,510
that were raised by he public

4302
02:25:57,510 --> 02:25:57,751
was having folks that live in

4303
02:25:57,751 --> 02:26:00,387
the district in that can, you

4304
02:26:00,387 --> 02:26:01,188
know, advocate for their

4305
02:26:01,188 --> 02:26:04,188
whether it's region or fire

4306
02:26:04,558 --> 02:26:05,593
department area.

4307
02:26:05,593 --> 02:26:06,561
I didn't have a voice right.

4308
02:26:06,561 --> 02:26:08,595
I think that that's one of the

4309
02:26:08,595 --> 02:26:09,397
important that I'd like to see

4310
02:26:09,397 --> 02:26:11,799
and what was raised in some the

4311
02:26:11,799 --> 02:26:14,799
public comment and just speak

4312
02:26:15,369 --> 02:26:16,370
to becky's question about

4313
02:26:16,370 --> 02:26:18,370
meeting notices historically

4314
02:26:19,740 --> 02:26:19,774
what we've done is we have an

4315
02:26:19,774 --> 02:26:23,111
email group that when we would

4316
02:26:23,111 --> 02:26:23,812
do the fdic minutes or agendas

4317
02:26:23,812 --> 02:26:27,115
that I would also include that

4318
02:26:27,115 --> 02:26:27,849
group so anybody that wanted to

4319
02:26:27,849 --> 02:26:30,417
request to be added to that

4320
02:26:30,417 --> 02:26:31,218
group so they have notification

4321
02:26:31,218 --> 02:26:31,887
the meetings occurring should

4322
02:26:31,887 --> 02:26:33,821
not be on its normal date or

4323
02:26:33,821 --> 02:26:34,856
outside the normal cadence.

4324
02:26:34,856 --> 02:26:38,600
So we would continue doing that

4325
02:26:38,600 --> 02:26:38,727
process and in the question was

4326
02:26:38,727 --> 02:26:39,328
talked about the application

4327
02:26:39,328 --> 02:26:42,970
process, we would put a

4328
02:26:42,970 --> 02:26:42,731
formalized application link on

4329
02:26:42,731 --> 02:26:45,731
the web page so that

4330
02:26:45,834 --> 02:26:48,234
individuals can complete an

4331
02:26:49,471 --> 02:26:50,506
application and it's not

4332
02:26:50,506 --> 02:26:54,106
uniform as if that answers your

4333
02:26:57,446 --> 02:26:58,280
question, I guess the only

4334
02:26:58,280 --> 02:27:01,483
other thing I do know the

4335
02:27:01,483 --> 02:27:02,218
concerns that are being brought

4336
02:27:02,218 --> 02:27:04,553
up by members of the public and

4337
02:27:04,553 --> 02:27:05,154
I was very concerned with

4338
02:27:05,154 --> 02:27:05,855
moving away from the

4339
02:27:05,855 --> 02:27:08,255
commissions and moving towards

4340
02:27:08,958 --> 02:27:09,825
advisory boards.

4341
02:27:09,825 --> 02:27:10,560
I do think that one of the

4342
02:27:10,560 --> 02:27:13,329
things that you all have shown

4343
02:27:13,329 --> 02:27:16,320
is you know, a level of

4344
02:27:16,320 --> 02:27:16,899
transparency and I think it MAY

4345
02:27:16,899 --> 02:27:19,936
be important for us to when the

4346
02:27:19,936 --> 02:27:23,536
when the roup is selected that

4347
02:27:23,939 --> 02:27:24,674
whether it's a memo to us I

4348
02:27:24,674 --> 02:27:25,375
don't think it's something that

4349
02:27:25,375 --> 02:27:27,410
needs to come to the board but

4350
02:27:27,410 --> 02:27:28,412
we at least know who is on that

4351
02:27:28,412 --> 02:27:31,580
advisory body and so people are

4352
02:27:31,580 --> 02:27:32,515
curious about who's actually

4353
02:27:32,515 --> 02:27:33,250
speaking to all we can have

4354
02:27:33,250 --> 02:27:36,520
confidence to say these are the

4355
02:27:36,520 --> 02:27:36,720
people who serve on that board

4356
02:27:36,720 --> 02:27:38,722
in providing their expertize

4357
02:27:38,722 --> 02:27:40,722
and advice.

4358
02:27:42,625 --> 02:27:43,327
I think that in addition to the

4359
02:27:43,327 --> 02:27:44,610
kind of the attendance just

4360
02:27:44,610 --> 02:27:47,264
having a whether it's an annual

4361
02:27:47,264 --> 02:27:47,898
report that comes during the

4362
02:27:47,898 --> 02:27:50,601
budget or that's my annual

4363
02:27:50,601 --> 02:27:51,268
during the budget and the

4364
02:27:51,268 --> 02:27:54,268
mid-year budget review we et

4365
02:27:54,505 --> 02:27:55,539
an update on what the group's

4366
02:27:55,539 --> 02:27:58,409
doing, how it's been going

4367
02:27:58,409 --> 02:27:59,110
because you know, there is some

4368
02:27:59,110 --> 02:28:02,110
concern from folks around the

4369
02:28:02,980 --> 02:28:03,780
reduction of transparency and I

4370
02:28:03,780 --> 02:28:06,583
think as we embark on this new

4371
02:28:06,583 --> 02:28:07,285
way of writing, you know,

4372
02:28:07,285 --> 02:28:09,685
allowing for committee members

4373
02:28:10,188 --> 02:28:10,989
to that advice to our

4374
02:28:10,989 --> 02:28:13,989
department heads, it is really

4375
02:28:13,991 --> 02:28:14,793
important we're understanding

4376
02:28:14,793 --> 02:28:17,796
how this process is moving and

4377
02:28:17,796 --> 02:28:18,630
the level of transparency that

4378
02:28:18,630 --> 02:28:19,231
people can find some comfort

4379
02:28:19,231 --> 02:28:21,833
around us moving in this

4380
02:28:21,833 --> 02:28:22,801
direction.

4381
02:28:22,801 --> 02:28:25,801
So I'll support what's coming

4382
02:28:25,804 --> 02:28:26,904
before us today.

4383
02:28:26,904 --> 02:28:27,606
But I'm going to be wanting to

4384
02:28:27,606 --> 02:28:30,750
get some feedback on how this

4385
02:28:30,750 --> 02:28:30,709
is going and to ensure that

4386
02:28:30,709 --> 02:28:33,378
we're still going to have

4387
02:28:33,378 --> 02:28:34,113
maintained we're going to be

4388
02:28:34,113 --> 02:28:34,780
maintaining transparency around

4389
02:28:34,780 --> 02:28:35,180
these types of meetings and

4390
02:28:35,180 --> 02:28:37,180
discussions.

4391
02:28:40,619 --> 02:28:41,220
Thank thank you, supervisor.

4392
02:28:41,220 --> 02:28:43,220
Thank you.

4393
02:28:44,590 --> 02:28:45,623
Thanks for the report.

4394
02:28:45,623 --> 02:28:48,394
I'm a little uncomfortable with

4395
02:28:48,394 --> 02:28:49,950
the meeting schedule with

4396
02:28:49,950 --> 02:28:52,532
meeting on an ad needed basis.

4397
02:28:52,532 --> 02:28:53,199
I feel like there should be a

4398
02:28:53,199 --> 02:28:55,802
regular cadence and I think

4399
02:28:55,802 --> 02:28:56,769
some of the people I entioned

4400
02:28:56,769 --> 02:29:00,173
are out but at east quarterly

4401
02:29:00,173 --> 02:29:00,840
I'm I think I think it's

4402
02:29:00,840 --> 02:29:03,240
important for the different

4403
02:29:04,277 --> 02:29:07,277
jurisdictions that help to help

4404
02:29:08,248 --> 02:29:08,581
public safety in fire, et

4405
02:29:08,581 --> 02:29:09,449
cetera.

4406
02:29:09,449 --> 02:29:12,552
I think there need to be

4407
02:29:12,552 --> 02:29:13,220
regular reports that come in

4408
02:29:13,220 --> 02:29:16,220
front of this advisory group

4409
02:29:16,456 --> 02:29:19,726
from cal fire from you know,

4410
02:29:19,726 --> 02:29:20,961
all the different agencies.

4411
02:29:20,961 --> 02:29:24,531
And also I I do believe this

4412
02:29:24,531 --> 02:29:25,132
group needs to have a finger on

4413
02:29:25,132 --> 02:29:27,768
the pulse of our county

4414
02:29:27,768 --> 02:29:28,635
communication system.

4415
02:29:28,635 --> 02:29:31,635
I understand we're hoping to

4416
02:29:31,872 --> 02:29:32,105
put a new communications system

4417
02:29:32,105 --> 02:29:32,973
.

4418
02:29:32,973 --> 02:29:33,674
I just feel like this there

4419
02:29:33,674 --> 02:29:36,443
needs to be regular meetings.

4420
02:29:36,443 --> 02:29:38,846
So if that could be changed I

4421
02:29:38,846 --> 02:29:39,847
would feel more comfortable and

4422
02:29:39,847 --> 02:29:42,949
I like the idea of it being

4423
02:29:42,949 --> 02:29:43,651
virtually I think actually

4424
02:29:43,651 --> 02:29:44,218
you'll get more participation

4425
02:29:44,218 --> 02:29:47,218
and a lot of community

4426
02:29:47,288 --> 02:29:47,889
participation as well people

4427
02:29:47,889 --> 02:29:48,222
who could sign into the

4428
02:29:48,222 --> 02:29:49,790
meeting.

4429
02:29:49,790 --> 02:29:51,790
So thank you.

4430
02:29:53,861 --> 02:29:56,861
Thanks for bringing on board

4431
02:29:57,531 --> 02:29:58,700
supervisor martinez.

4432
02:29:58,700 --> 02:30:00,802
Thank you, chief and director

4433
02:30:00,802 --> 02:30:02,370
beeton for the presentation.

4434
02:30:02,370 --> 02:30:05,140
I'd like to start off by just

4435
02:30:05,140 --> 02:30:05,840
expressing thanks to the former

4436
02:30:05,840 --> 02:30:08,840
members of the fire department

4437
02:30:08,944 --> 02:30:09,611
advisory commission for their

4438
02:30:09,611 --> 02:30:12,110
services and their insights.

4439
02:30:12,447 --> 02:30:13,649
Did I hear you correctly they

4440
02:30:13,649 --> 02:30:16,649
recommended this action in this

4441
02:30:16,718 --> 02:30:20,388
change and I guess I mean I'm

4442
02:30:20,388 --> 02:30:21,123
glad that we are able to

4443
02:30:21,123 --> 02:30:23,825
benefit from their expertize as

4444
02:30:23,825 --> 02:30:27,425
we transition to this new model

4445
02:30:27,696 --> 02:30:28,497
and you know, even before you

4446
02:30:28,497 --> 02:30:32,000
fire there was a lot of

4447
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:32,835
interest in the oversight of

4448
02:30:32,835 --> 02:30:35,835
fire service who delivers fire

4449
02:30:36,439 --> 02:30:37,105
service through our county and

4450
02:30:37,105 --> 02:30:39,105
particularly throughout the

4451
02:30:40,209 --> 02:30:40,877
fifth district and I understand

4452
02:30:40,877 --> 02:30:43,277
that you're exploring other

4453
02:30:44,146 --> 02:30:44,580
changes to that structure

4454
02:30:44,580 --> 02:30:46,580
through lefko.

4455
02:30:48,117 --> 02:30:51,117
How often do you imagine

4456
02:30:51,621 --> 02:30:52,322
reporting to the board on your

4457
02:30:52,322 --> 02:30:53,220
exploration around potentially

4458
02:30:53,220 --> 02:30:55,422
transitioning the county fire

4459
02:30:56,191 --> 02:30:57,226
to an independent district?

4460
02:30:57,226 --> 02:31:00,226
And also how could community

4461
02:31:00,397 --> 02:31:03,397
members have input into that

4462
02:31:03,834 --> 02:31:04,667
process?

4463
02:31:04,667 --> 02:31:05,402
It's what could possibly

4464
02:31:05,402 --> 02:31:08,402
address the question real quick

4465
02:31:08,772 --> 02:31:09,439
so a lot of the meetings that

4466
02:31:09,439 --> 02:31:10,400
are happening related to the

4467
02:31:10,400 --> 02:31:11,408
potential lefko study of

4468
02:31:11,408 --> 02:31:12,108
looking and exploring of

4469
02:31:12,108 --> 02:31:12,810
converting county fire into an

4470
02:31:12,810 --> 02:31:15,210
independent fire district are

4471
02:31:15,345 --> 02:31:16,580
being through lefko.

4472
02:31:16,580 --> 02:31:19,490
So lafta is a public body that

4473
02:31:19,490 --> 02:31:19,883
does public meetings.

4474
02:31:19,883 --> 02:31:21,883
I do agree.

4475
02:31:23,153 --> 02:31:23,786
I know that we are working on

4476
02:31:23,786 --> 02:31:24,288
the path here to do a

4477
02:31:24,288 --> 02:31:26,288
feasibility study.

4478
02:31:26,690 --> 02:31:27,691
We will obviously work the

4479
02:31:27,691 --> 02:31:30,660
ceo's office to bring items to

4480
02:31:30,660 --> 02:31:31,662
the board as far as updates as

4481
02:31:31,662 --> 02:31:35,262
that progress goes on an as

4482
02:31:38,202 --> 02:31:41,973
needed basis and I guess what I

4483
02:31:41,973 --> 02:31:42,773
would just hope is that there's

4484
02:31:42,773 --> 02:31:45,773
plenty of opportunity for input

4485
02:31:46,770 --> 02:31:48,477
and for discussion for

4486
02:31:49,881 --> 02:31:50,682
residents and the public as it

4487
02:31:50,682 --> 02:31:52,884
relates to those changes and

4488
02:31:52,884 --> 02:31:53,318
that again will continue to get

4489
02:31:53,318 --> 02:31:55,318
those updates.

4490
02:31:57,722 --> 02:31:58,423
So yeah, thank you so much for

4491
02:31:58,423 --> 02:31:59,570
bringing us this presentation

4492
02:31:59,570 --> 02:32:02,260
and good luck with the new

4493
02:32:02,260 --> 02:32:02,861
structure if this is today.

4494
02:32:02,861 --> 02:32:03,295
Thank you.

4495
02:32:03,295 --> 02:32:05,130
Thank you.

4496
02:32:05,130 --> 02:32:05,764
Supervisor konik.

4497
02:32:05,764 --> 02:32:06,765
Thank you chair yeah.

4498
02:32:06,765 --> 02:32:09,268
I mean obviously I have no

4499
02:32:09,268 --> 02:32:09,735
problem with the proposal

4500
02:32:09,735 --> 02:32:11,735
before us today.

4501
02:32:12,704 --> 02:32:13,372
It was as as has been mentioned

4502
02:32:13,372 --> 02:32:14,500
the recommendation of the

4503
02:32:14,500 --> 02:32:16,500
former department advisory

4504
02:32:17,142 --> 02:32:17,843
committee themselves and this

4505
02:32:17,843 --> 02:32:20,843
is their proposal actually for

4506
02:32:21,280 --> 02:32:21,614
how they could do their work

4507
02:32:21,614 --> 02:32:22,515
better.

4508
02:32:22,515 --> 02:32:24,483
I'm glad to hear that they'll

4509
02:32:24,483 --> 02:32:27,483
be I'll be offered memberships

4510
02:32:28,553 --> 02:32:29,222
first because we had all as

4511
02:32:29,222 --> 02:32:31,222
supervisors appointed those

4512
02:32:32,257 --> 02:32:32,859
individuals because of their

4513
02:32:32,859 --> 02:32:34,859
particular knowledge and

4514
02:32:36,429 --> 02:32:39,699
expertize it really is kind of

4515
02:32:39,699 --> 02:32:40,990
a couple of of larger questions

4516
02:32:40,990 --> 02:32:40,934
here.

4517
02:32:40,934 --> 02:32:43,703
I mean obviously what we're

4518
02:32:43,703 --> 02:32:44,738
hearing from the public as far

4519
02:32:44,738 --> 02:32:46,673
as some concern is I think not

4520
02:32:46,673 --> 02:32:49,673
really necessarily so much to

4521
02:32:51,144 --> 02:32:52,179
this particular small change

4522
02:32:52,179 --> 02:32:55,449
but but really related to the

4523
02:32:55,449 --> 02:32:59,490
larger picture of fire in our

4524
02:32:59,352 --> 02:32:59,953
community and obviously just as

4525
02:32:59,953 --> 02:33:02,353
an increasing risk the

4526
02:33:03,323 --> 02:33:03,992
reflection we've seen on

4527
02:33:03,992 --> 02:33:06,992
insurance rates, it's just I

4528
02:33:07,327 --> 02:33:08,280
think it's an issue that's on

4529
02:33:08,280 --> 02:33:08,696
everyone's mind more and more

4530
02:33:08,696 --> 02:33:11,696
and obviously ever since the

4531
02:33:11,966 --> 02:33:15,235
fires to first of all to the to

4532
02:33:15,235 --> 02:33:15,936
the question of creating an

4533
02:33:15,936 --> 02:33:17,936
independent special district,

4534
02:33:19,400 --> 02:33:19,673
obviously as I mentioned the is

4535
02:33:19,673 --> 02:33:22,730
kind of leading that

4536
02:33:22,944 --> 02:33:23,511
investigation of course is a

4537
02:33:23,511 --> 02:33:25,911
public agency as well.

4538
02:33:26,247 --> 02:33:26,848
We have public meetings

4539
02:33:26,848 --> 02:33:28,848
generally speaking we're

4540
02:33:29,851 --> 02:33:30,852
talking about like a year long

4541
02:33:30,852 --> 02:33:31,151
process a year and a half, two

4542
02:33:31,151 --> 02:33:33,151
years.

4543
02:33:34,550 --> 02:33:35,155
What what should the public

4544
02:33:35,155 --> 02:33:35,890
keep in mind as far as how long

4545
02:33:35,890 --> 02:33:38,460
this investigation is going on

4546
02:33:38,460 --> 02:33:41,620
to to potential shift and how

4547
02:33:41,620 --> 02:33:43,462
they can be involved?

4548
02:33:45,567 --> 02:33:46,234
So currently the lefko process

4549
02:33:46,234 --> 02:33:49,234
to for the feasibility tudy

4550
02:33:49,571 --> 02:33:52,571
looks to be about 12 to 18

4551
02:33:53,474 --> 02:33:54,475
months and that would tell us

4552
02:33:54,475 --> 02:33:57,779
where we're going to go at ur

4553
02:33:57,779 --> 02:33:58,480
last meeting it was about a two

4554
02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:01,216
to three year to possibly four

4555
02:34:01,216 --> 02:34:03,616
year full implementation from

4556
02:34:04,286 --> 02:34:05,487
start to finish.

4557
02:34:05,487 --> 02:34:06,188
So just a year to a year and a

4558
02:34:06,188 --> 02:34:09,188
half for the feasibility study

4559
02:34:09,357 --> 02:34:09,958
and if we ecide f I feel go

4560
02:34:09,958 --> 02:34:12,361
and I assume there'd be

4561
02:34:12,361 --> 02:34:13,194
probably some consideration by

4562
02:34:13,194 --> 02:34:16,598
this board as well decide to

4563
02:34:16,598 --> 02:34:17,433
move forward, that'd be another

4564
02:34:17,433 --> 02:34:18,233
year and a half to to two and a

4565
02:34:18,233 --> 02:34:19,350
half years to actually

4566
02:34:19,350 --> 02:34:19,468
implement.

4567
02:34:19,468 --> 02:34:20,470
Yeah.

4568
02:34:20,470 --> 02:34:23,439
For four years is the right

4569
02:34:23,439 --> 02:34:23,906
longest hopefully if it was

4570
02:34:23,906 --> 02:34:25,906
decided shorter.

4571
02:34:27,143 --> 02:34:27,744
Yeah yes.

4572
02:34:27,744 --> 02:34:29,744
Ok great.

4573
02:34:31,614 --> 02:34:33,984
And then of course the other

4574
02:34:33,984 --> 02:34:34,683
kind of core work that the fire

4575
02:34:34,683 --> 02:34:36,683
department advisory commission

4576
02:34:38,988 --> 02:34:42,588
has done and that the advisory

4577
02:34:42,958 --> 02:34:43,627
group would do is actually in

4578
02:34:43,627 --> 02:34:46,270
consultation on the contract

4579
02:34:46,296 --> 02:34:46,996
that we have with cal fire

4580
02:34:46,996 --> 02:34:47,731
which I nderstand you said

4581
02:34:47,731 --> 02:34:50,330
1948 it's been around since

4582
02:34:50,330 --> 02:34:50,968
1948.

4583
02:34:50,968 --> 02:34:51,368
That's the al-bandar contract

4584
02:34:51,368 --> 02:34:53,368
that right.

4585
02:34:54,138 --> 02:34:54,537
So obviously kind of showing

4586
02:34:54,537 --> 02:34:56,537
its age.

4587
02:34:58,509 --> 02:35:01,812
I think that and I know there's

4588
02:35:01,812 --> 02:35:02,780
discussions on renegotiating

4589
02:35:02,780 --> 02:35:05,780
that contract so it orks

4590
02:35:05,983 --> 02:35:06,650
better for all parties.

4591
02:35:06,650 --> 02:35:09,500
Are we expecting any

4592
02:35:09,853 --> 02:35:11,880
significant changes this year

4593
02:35:11,880 --> 02:35:13,957
is the contract is set a JULY

4594
02:35:13,957 --> 02:35:14,592
to JUNE contracts that matches

4595
02:35:14,592 --> 02:35:16,992
the county's fiscal year?

4596
02:35:24,469 --> 02:35:25,336
Yeah, I orrect the agreement

4597
02:35:25,336 --> 02:35:25,703
expires actually JUNE 30th of

4598
02:35:25,703 --> 02:35:26,271
this year.

4599
02:35:26,271 --> 02:35:27,500
We're currently in the

4600
02:35:27,500 --> 02:35:27,739
discussions I guess I would say

4601
02:35:27,739 --> 02:35:28,273
the negotiations about what the

4602
02:35:28,273 --> 02:35:28,940
next year might be.

4603
02:35:28,940 --> 02:35:29,640
I know there's been a lot of

4604
02:35:29,640 --> 02:35:30,308
changes on the state level so

4605
02:35:30,308 --> 02:35:31,900
there's some uncertainty at

4606
02:35:31,900 --> 02:35:33,277
least how it's going to relate

4607
02:35:33,277 --> 02:35:34,145
to the county and santa cruz.

4608
02:35:34,145 --> 02:35:34,813
So we're currently still in

4609
02:35:34,813 --> 02:35:36,448
negotiations but we plan on

4610
02:35:36,448 --> 02:35:37,149
being an item to the order

4611
02:35:37,149 --> 02:35:37,749
supervisors for consideration

4612
02:35:37,749 --> 02:35:40,149
of a potential extension

4613
02:35:40,952 --> 02:35:41,386
whether it be a one or two year

4614
02:35:41,386 --> 02:35:42,187
or three year.

4615
02:35:42,187 --> 02:35:44,289
I think the last time we're

4616
02:35:44,289 --> 02:35:44,990
currently speaking a two year

4617
02:35:44,990 --> 02:35:47,390
agreement extension to help

4618
02:35:47,860 --> 02:35:48,861
with some of the uncertainty at

4619
02:35:48,861 --> 02:35:49,560
the state level as well as to

4620
02:35:49,560 --> 02:35:52,196
help us really understand the

4621
02:35:52,196 --> 02:35:52,865
lepka recommendation or study

4622
02:35:52,865 --> 02:35:55,200
that's going to be happening

4623
02:35:55,200 --> 02:35:55,600
with special fire district.

4624
02:35:55,600 --> 02:35:57,600
Gotcha.

4625
02:35:59,400 --> 02:36:02,604
So no major changes this year

4626
02:36:03,275 --> 02:36:03,675
anticipated right.

4627
02:36:03,675 --> 02:36:04,577
All right.

4628
02:36:04,577 --> 02:36:06,212
So my question thanks as part

4629
02:36:06,212 --> 02:36:08,612
of that recommended actions,

4630
02:36:11,284 --> 02:36:11,684
what there's still a minimum of

4631
02:36:11,684 --> 02:36:13,453
attendance.

4632
02:36:13,453 --> 02:36:16,453
One person could be meeting

4633
02:36:21,594 --> 02:36:22,595
under this particular so you're

4634
02:36:22,595 --> 02:36:25,565
one of the things that I wanted

4635
02:36:25,565 --> 02:36:26,990
the only concern I got I'll be

4636
02:36:26,990 --> 02:36:26,966
supportive as well.

4637
02:36:26,966 --> 02:36:28,535
But to my concern I have is in

4638
02:36:28,535 --> 02:36:29,269
making sure that a lot of these

4639
02:36:29,269 --> 02:36:29,970
larger areas are represented by

4640
02:36:29,970 --> 02:36:32,572
folks who actually live there.

4641
02:36:32,572 --> 02:36:33,206
I'm talking about like

4642
02:36:33,206 --> 02:36:35,206
stationery 23 loma prieta

4643
02:36:36,876 --> 02:36:39,276
lascaris, bonny doon davenport

4644
02:36:40,547 --> 02:36:41,348
carlita's of course which is

4645
02:36:41,348 --> 02:36:44,348
probably one of the largest

4646
02:36:44,785 --> 02:36:48,288
areas making sure that we have

4647
02:36:48,288 --> 02:36:48,921
equal representation so they

4648
02:36:48,921 --> 02:36:51,921
can advocate for things in

4649
02:36:52,260 --> 02:36:53,600
there in the fire district.

4650
02:36:53,600 --> 02:36:56,363
with that I'll ring it back to

4651
02:36:56,363 --> 02:36:57,197
the board to entertain the

4652
02:36:57,197 --> 02:36:59,597
motion for the recommended

4653
02:37:00,434 --> 02:37:02,434
actions.

4654
02:37:04,500 --> 02:37:05,390
Second can get a motion from

4655
02:37:05,390 --> 02:37:05,606
supporters are going to get a

4656
02:37:05,606 --> 02:37:05,973
second from supervisor

4657
02:37:05,973 --> 02:37:07,973
martinez.

4658
02:37:08,376 --> 02:37:08,976
Can we take a real call up to

4659
02:37:08,976 --> 02:37:09,377
my supervisor to sirpa?

4660
02:37:09,377 --> 02:37:11,377
I'm coming.

4661
02:37:12,679 --> 02:37:15,679
I martinez I connect hernandez.

4662
02:37:26,728 --> 02:37:27,362
I unanimously will be will now

4663
02:37:27,362 --> 02:37:27,695
be moving into our closed

4664
02:37:27,695 --> 02:37:28,529
session.

4665
02:37:28,529 --> 02:37:30,799
The board will now recess for

4666
02:37:30,799 --> 02:37:31,266
close session and return at

4667
02:37:31,266 --> 02:37:33,266
county council.

4668
02:37:33,368 --> 02:37:34,350
What time?

4669
02:37:34,350 --> 02:37:34,736
Nothing reportable today so

4670
02:37:34,736 --> 02:37:37,406
there'll be no returning into

4671
02:37:37,406 --> 02:37:38,390
open session.

4672
02:37:38,390 --> 02:37:40,439
Okay meeting is adjourned.
