1
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Thank you for coming out, and we'll start out with a roll call from the clerk.

2
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Supervisor Boone. Supervisor Flores. Supervisor Zigg and I are. Supervisor Bains. Supervisor Stevens.

3
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:38,000
If we could all stand, and we'll have Richard Lothman from St. James Jerusalem, a possible church, latest in invocation.

4
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Let us pray. Good, and gracious God. We thank you for the freedom to meet in the spirit of wisdom, charity, and justice.

5
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,000
You have provided us with a vision of your kingdom, to which we strive to achieve.

6
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Is it this meeting we pray, guiding the discussions to increase our safety as we travel our roads and streets, and provide for the health of young people struggling to discover the gifts you have provided them?

7
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Open the ears of our hearts, to listen to each other from each other's perspectives, allowing us to have a bit more humility around the divisiveness of where we can and cannot compromise, where we are alike and where we are dissimilar.

8
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Renew the ties of mutual regard that form our civic life, enable us, and especially our county commissioners, to work to eliminate poverty, prejudice, and oppression, so that peace may prevail with righteousness and justice with order.

9
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:54,000
And that men and women from different cultures and with different talents may find with one another the fulfillment of their humanity through your holy grace.

10
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Amen.

11
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,000
We could have supervisor Baines Lee is in the pledge please.

12
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:23,000
All right, and we're going to come on down here and do presentations, but before I want to congratulate again the

13
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000
live-out girls, the twelve-and-other softball team, if you watched the news, they were all over it.

14
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:38,000
They lost that first. That was the first tough game one to eleven, but then they went on and lost the Japan zero to one, which is an incredible game.

15
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:47,000
It was a great game. So it could have gone either way zero to one. So great group of girls, first time in history, any teams ever made it that far,

16
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,000
instead of county history, so we're very proud of them, and then of course we voted last meaning to do something a little special form.

17
00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:07,000
So I, Jeff, I, so you, with the group of girls, it's very neat. So congratulations those young ladies. We'll get them to the meeting in the next meeting when we do the presentation.

18
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:17,000
We'll Sarah Everhart Reas and Health and Human Services staff. Please join the board up front to receive a proclamation by recognizing August 26 as National Breastfeeding Awareness Month.

19
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:30,000
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusively breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding for children up to two years of age or older.

20
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:43,000
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusively breastfeeding for the first six months of life and continued breastfeeding for children up to two years of age or older.

21
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Breastfeeding helps prevent child malnutrition ensures food security for infants and young children decreases the risk of asthma, diabetes, obesity, heart disease and breast cancer.

22
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:06,000
The tri-counties breastfeeding alliance, a collaborative of local breastfeeding professionals and advocates, have succeeded in increasing the awareness of the importance of breast milk and breastfeeding.

23
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:16,000
The tri-counties breastfeeding alliance, along with local partnering agencies, have been able to provide high quality educational opportunities for health professionals over the past several years.

24
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:27,000
The 2016 for National Breastfeeding Month is rise, resilience, interdependence, self-determination, empowerment, celebrating the strength of breast milk as one of the first foods.

25
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:35,000
All parents with young children should have access to skilled breastfeeding counseling and support from their health facilities, workplace and communities.

26
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:47,000
The Center County Board of Supervisors do here by a proclaim August 26 as breastfeeding awareness month in Center County and the board shows their support and appreciation to those efforts.

27
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:12,000
The Center County Board of Supervisors.

28
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:30,000
The Center County Board of Supervisors.

29
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Will Zachary Hamill and the Office of Emergency Management staff please join the Board of Front to receive a proclamation recognizing August 26 as National Emergency Management Awareness Month.

30
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Center County is vulnerable to a range of hazards including flood.

31
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Completing, wildfires, and severe weather events, which pose significant threats to life, property, and our unique agricultural environment.

32
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Local emergency managers in Sutter County, along with those in every sector and at every level, dedicated countless hours to developing and maintaining preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation programs to protect the residents of rural communities that define our county.

33
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Emergency managers in Sutter County and across the nation are charged with coordinating efforts across a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including levy districts, public health, tribal governments, agricultural operations, and emergency services to ensure effective disaster response and recovery.

34
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:52,000
The mission areas of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery align with the core capabilities identified in the national preparedness school.

35
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Emergency managers, including those serving Sutter County, demonstrate commitment, compassion, and professionalism during emergencies, such as flooding along the feather and Sacramento rivers, wildfires, and the Sutterbeats and public health crises.

36
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:16,000
The efforts of our nation's emergency managers have helped millions of community members across the United States recover, rebuild, and become more resilient in the face of adversity.

37
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:41,000
The Sutter County Board of Supervisors do hereby proclaim the month of August, 2026, as national emergency management awareness month, and urge community members to express their sincere appreciation for emergency managers in every sector who work diligently to prepare, protect, and serve our cities, counties, states, tribes, territories, regions, and organizations against all hazards and risks.

38
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Would you like to say something?

39
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Hello, everyone.

40
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Thank you to the Board for this recognition.

41
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Emergency management is a whole community effort, and this proclamation is a reflection of a shared commitment to mitigation preparedness response and recovery.

42
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
So thank you to our fellow county departments and other organizations for ongoing coordination and partnerships.

43
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
And thank you to our residents for staying engaged. Sign up for emergency alerts at bepreparedSitter.org.

44
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And we are hosting a preparedness fair on September 26th at East Nicholas High School at the gymnasium from 10 to 1.

45
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,000
So please stop by. Thank you.

46
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Thank you.

47
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Now we're going to move on to our public

48
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
conference.

49
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Thank you.

50
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Thank you.

51
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Thank you.

52
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Thank you.

53
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Thank you.

54
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Thank you.

55
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Now we're going to move on to our public commentary.

56
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Members of the public will be allowed to address the board and items of interest to the

57
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,000
public that are within the subject manager restriction of the board of supervisors, state law provides a

58
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000
discussion or action may be taken on any item not appearing on the posted agenda.

59
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Any public comment?

60
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
Yes, Mr Chairman.

61
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
We have four public comments.

62
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:50,000
The first public speaker is Lister Vantes followed by Dale Wittmore.

63
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Hello, Lister Vantes district five.

64
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,000
I'm here.

65
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,000
I couldn't be here two weeks ago when the measure G was talked about, but I would like to just say that

66
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
measure G is a general sales tax and it is not a good thing for taxpayers.

67
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000
General sales taxes go directly into the general fund and can be used for any purpose including pay increases

68
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000
and pensions.

69
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
This is not a special tax.

70
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Special taxes can only be used for specific purposes such as road repair, fire, homelessness, police,

71
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
sheriff, district attorney.

72
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Exactly why they are telling you they need this measure.

73
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,000
General taxes come with no guarantee that they will spend one dime on what they promised, no guarantees

74
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
period.

75
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,000
They put this on the ballot so you can decide and because they have to.

76
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
You can tell them you can't afford it by voting no on measure G.

77
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Sutter County is spending taxpayer funds to educate you on why they need this tax.

78
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Sutter County admits they have not been maintaining the roads.

79
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Sales taxes are regressive taxes affecting the fixed income households the most.

80
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Sutter County spends over 80% of their general fund revenue on salaries and benefits.

81
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Inflation has reduced your consumer purchasing power already.

82
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Measure G is a forever tax.

83
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000
There is no expiration or sunset.

84
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Reason I brought this is I'm sure you all remember Kmart, right?

85
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000
So this is the blue light that they had at Kmart and which we now owe that albatross.

86
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000
We own it in the center of town.

87
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,000
I know it's for sale.

88
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
We're not doing anything about marketing it.

89
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
If we are, please let me know.

90
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,000
But taxation is theft and I wish that you guys would sit down.

91
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:50,000
We have a lot of very intelligent people around here that there is some thinking outside the box.

92
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
We would love to have a conversation with you.

93
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Why we have to go to this.

94
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
It seems like a never ending cycle.

95
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
And you're going to lose.

96
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
I'm just telling you that right now.

97
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I don't know how much has been spent on the surveys on everything else.

98
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,000
But we are actively working against the general sales tax.

99
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Please don't tell us that a special tax won't work.

100
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It hasn't been tried.

101
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Okay.

102
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:28,000
If people knew where their money was going with strict oversight to the sheriff, to the roads, to whatever.

103
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
You would see a different outcome.

104
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
The general sales tax is not the answer.

105
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Please.

106
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
It's too late now.

107
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
It's on the ballot.

108
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
It's going to fail.

109
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Big.

110
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Thank you, Liz.

111
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
The next public speaker is Dale Whitmore, followed by Tony Farley.

112
00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Hello.

113
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
Thank you, Board of Supervisors.

114
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,000
The topic is the Shanghai Bend Rapids Road, which has been closed for four years now.

115
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000
And it's at the end of Shanghai Bend Road where road currently ends.

116
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
And you take a right there.

117
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000
And it's about a half mile to the Shanghai Bend Rapids.

118
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Now, that road was opened for decades.

119
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
And then it was closed in 2022.

120
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:40,000
One and a half years ago, the state of California transferred 142 acres to Sutter County.

121
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:49,000
So it is now Sutter County that owns the floodplain and the road that goes to the Shanghai Bend Rapids.

122
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
The Shanghai Bend Rapids is the best fish in location in Sutter County.

123
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
It needs to be reopened.

124
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,000
I've turned it on a couple of letters here.

125
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000
One of the challenges here is that places like Johnson's Baton Tackle could do better.

126
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000
To better business if some of their customers would be able to get to the end of Shanghai Bend Rapids Road.

127
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
So they can get easy access to the rapids.

128
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:24,000
And I want to walk a half mile in this heat or in the cold or whenever it is.

129
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Just reduces the recreation of the people here.

130
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
And as well as out of town tourists.

131
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Could easily take care of.

132
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Myself and other sportsmen would like to find solutions to the perceived problems with reopening the gate.

133
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Now, like I said, the gate was open for decades before 2022.

134
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,000
And from about 2000.

135
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Five to about 2014, I was a wildlife biologist who was managing the road.

136
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:05,000
And I had to go down there once or twice a year and pick up somebody's file a sheet rock or trash or whatever it was that they dumped down there.

137
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:12,000
But the public hundreds of people, thousands of people got to go in there and use the property.

138
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,000
And I would like to offer that there are several sportsmen that we're like to get together.

139
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,000
With the board of supervisors and talk about how we can get that road reopened.

140
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
So that we can get access to that property.

141
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
I mean, we have the feather river parkway north of the 10th street bridge open.

142
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
People can get in there.

143
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Why can't we get to that half mile a road there at the end of Shanghai Bend Road?

144
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Hey, I know we can do this working together.

145
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Thank you very much.

146
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Most of you are probably already got my phone number.

147
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
I left it on the card.

148
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Thank you.

149
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Yeah, we appreciate you.

150
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Thank you.

151
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Thank you very much.

152
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Our next public speaker is Tony Farley, followed by Ellison Watkins.

153
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Tony Farley, north of Sicily.

154
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,000
We'll could drive north of Sicily.

155
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Thank you, they get their first service.

156
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Congressman, therefore, it's Congressman.

157
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,000

Thank you for service

186
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:16,360
Our live your tone. Excuse her is Allison Watkins

187
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,960
Good afternoon

188
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:29,240
Allison Watkins I'm a lifelong center county resident. I currently reside in district three

189
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:37,640
I also happen to be an employee of center county of work tier for over 12 years and spent my entire career over 25 years in public service

190
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:45,720
I'm here today to talk about my support of measure G and I know there's been a lot of talk about

191
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:53,240
Why some community members are not in favor of it being a general tax and how they would otherwise support a tax measure

192
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:59,320
If it wasn't a general tax and so I just wanted to talk about that a little bit since I have spent my entire career in public service

193
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,320
I don't think it is public knowledge

194
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,320
How some of this works behind the scenes, right?

195
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:13,720
So we talk about our public safety departments and our roads department and I want to make it really clear to the community that

196
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:21,000
Those services don't end at the walls of the public safety department, right?

197
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:28,280
So in order for a public safety department or development services department, which is where roads resides

198
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:34,040
To function they have to have computers that work and IT manages those computers

199
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:37,640
They have vehicles that are managed through our fleet division

200
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Their buildings are maintained through facilities grounds and custodial

201
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Their liability and their risk mitigation is handled through county council

202
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,840
Sorry, I need to put my glasses on so I can look at my notes

203
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,440
The bills are paid and the paychecks are cut through the auditor's office

204
00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Their budgets are overseen through the CAO's office, they're hiring benefits, workman's comp, ADA,

205
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:06,440
disciplinary issues with employees, union negotiations, that all happens through my office, which is HR

206
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:13,240
So public service is very important of course it is we have wonderful relationships with our public safety

207
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,280
I keep saying public service I'm sorry, I'm meaning public safety we have wonderful relationships with our public safety

208
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:25,480
Departments we work very closely together of course they are important, but they can't do their jobs without all of the other

209
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:32,600
Departments that support that same with roads. So I think it's really important that as a community member

210
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,240
I'm in favor of a general tax because of that reason

211
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,600
I think it's important that we are efficient and

212
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:47,400
Use the funds that we have at our disposal appropriately. I think this county does that very well we work very well together to do that

213
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,320
But in order to be as efficient as possible we need to be able to

214
00:29:54,360 --> 00:30:00,040
Fund the support for all of these public services across the board and I don't think

215
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
The community recognizes always that that is more than just what happens within the walls of a public safety department.

216
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:16,000
So, you know, the undershare for my work for your closely together and we can't fill their vacancies without my department.

217
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:26,000
And so that budget doesn't pay for my department. So if we had a special tax and it just went there, it wouldn't help fund all of the other support services.

218
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,000
I think you get what I'm saying and where I'm going with this, but I'm happy to answer any other questions.

219
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:37,000
If anyone has them, including anyone from the community, I would be happy to talk to you about what my department does for this community.

220
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Thank you very much, thank you.

221
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:52,000
We have one more public comment that was received via email from Brandon McRinnell's chair and member of the boards.

222
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:58,000
The Center County Fire Department is currently operating with two vacancies in five employees on workers compensation.

223
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Leaving only 11 available personnel to cover approximately 70, open 24 hour shifts each month.

224
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:20,000
That equals roughly 16, 1,680 hours of staffing that must be covered monthly, creating a heavy and ongoing reliance on overtime and mandatory overtime, just to maintain minimum staffing levels.

225
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:25,000
This is not a short term inconvenience. It is a critical staffing shortage.

226
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:35,000
While firefighters understand overtime as a part of the job, there is a major difference between occasional overtime and routinely losing scheduled time off due to staffing shortages.

227
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:45,000
With 48 hour shifts already standard, additional 24 hour overtime assignments significantly reduced rest, recovery and family time.

228
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
This impacts not only firefighters, but also their families.

229
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Plans are disrupted, home responsibility shift, and recovery time is lost.

230
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Fatigue and burnout become real concerns and a job that require constant alertness, physical strength, and sound decision making in high risk environments.

231
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:14,000
With 1,680 hours of monthly staffing needs being absorbed by only 11 employees, we respectfully request the county explore all available short term solutions.

232
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Including expedited hiring, limited term staffing, and qualified extra help options to reduce mandatory overtime.

233
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Our members will continue to serve the community without hesitation.

234
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:34,000
However, 11 employees should not be expected to permanently absorb 70 additional 24 hour shifts every month.

235
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Without relief, the risk of fatigue, injury, burnout, and turnover will continue to grow.

236
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000
We are asking the board to act now before this becomes a larger operational and safety crisis.

237
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
Respectfully branded mecrenals.

238
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:55,000
President, Center County Professional Firefighters Association, IFF local 503.

239
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Thank you, Brendan, for sending that in.

240
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
And if we could get it on the next agenda, we're going to invite them over so we can have a discussion.

241
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
All right, so we'll get it on the next meeting agenda.

242
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000
Yeah, and actually I've spoken to Captain McRenn.

243
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Well, we're going to do it in public.

244
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Okay.

245
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
I'm tired not being able to say anything.

246
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
So we're going to invite them to the next meeting.

247
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000
We're going to discuss it so we can have some dialogue going back and forth.

248
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
And let's come up with some solutions together.

249
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Yeah, and we're working on some of his suggestions as well with Chief Long.

250
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Thank you so much.

251
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
All right. Well, that would conclude public comment.

252
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Thank you very much.

253
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,000
And then we're going to move on to the consent calendar.

254
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000
The consent calendar groups together, those items, which are considered non-controversial,

255
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
for which rich prior policy direction hasn't given a staff and that require only

256
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
routine action by the board.

257
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,000
The chair will advise the audience that matters me adopted and total by one motion.

258
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000
However, the board may add its option or upon request of a member of the public,

259
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
consider any matters separately.

260
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Future.

261
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Yes, sir.

262
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
We'll go proof.

263
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Second.

264
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,000
We'll move motion by supervisor.

265
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Second.

266
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Second.

267
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Supervisor Boun.

268
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Hi.

269
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Supervisor Flores.

270
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Hi.

271
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Supervisor Ziggamire.

272
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Hi.

273
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Supervisor Bains.

274
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Hi.

275
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Supervisor Stevens.

276
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Motion passes.

277
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Moving on to our first appearance item.

278
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Presentation on setter point economic development.

279
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
All right.

280
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Good afternoon.

281
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
And thank you for the opportunity to be here today.

282
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
I'll be providing an update on the last year of partnering with the county.

283
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
I'm Rachel Brown.

284
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,000
And over the past year, I've been working with the county staff on economic development priorities for setter point.

285
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Here's the headline I want to leave you with before I say anything else.

286
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Setter point has moved from potential to prepared.

287
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000
The land use framework supports the industries we are targeting.

288
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:06,000
The internal process is in place and market the market is paying attention.

289
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:13,000
What determines whether that interest turns into buildings and jobs is our ability to advance sight readiness and deliver infrastructure.

290
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
And that is what phase two is designed to address.

291
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,000
I'll take about 15 minutes and then I'd welcome any questions from the board.

292
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Let me start with three things that matter most and we'll go through each intern.

293
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
First, zoning and entitlements are ready.

294
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:36,000
The land use framework in the E1 and E2 employment zones already supports the industries we're targeting by right.

295
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
We do not need a reason.

296
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:47,000
And separately, we are actively discussing targeted refinements to the specific plan, which are improvements to an already workable framework.

297
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
Not a fix for something that's blocking us.

298
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Second, phase one built real momentum.

299
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,000
We streamlined how the county handles these projects internally.

300
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,000
We published clear guidance for developers and we deepen our regional partnerships.

301
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Particularly with GSEC, which is Greater Sacramento Economic Council and GoBiz, which is the state economic development department.

302
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Third, and this is the pivot point, demand is strong, but delivery is the constraint.

303
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:23,000
We've seen more than 3.4 billion dollars of interest come through, whether we capture it depends on utility capacity and firm timelines.

304
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Everything else I'm going to show you supports one of these three points.

305
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
This slide covers what phase one actually delivered.

306
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:40,000
On the internal side, we brought planning, building, fire, and engineering into a single unified development process for setter point.

307
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
That sounds procedural, but it matters.

308
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:49,000
It means a prospect gets one answer from the county instead of four, and it means review cycles or shorter.

309
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:57,000
We also published a setter point permitting and regulatory one sheet to single document that tells an investor exactly what the permit path looks like.

310
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
That document does a great deal of work before we ever get on a call.

311
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:07,000
On the external side, we started early conversations with Sachs who were Golden State Water and PG&E,

312
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
so long lead utility needs surface before they can stall a project rather than after.

313
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
And we raised the county's profile.

314
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:24,000
We partnered with GSEC on the Market Velocity Study, ran targeted workshops, and represented Sutter County at the World Agritec Conference this year.

315
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:31,000
As a result of the county's participation at the conference, Sutter County is now included in GSEC's Food and Ag Innovation Council.

316
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:39,000
That gives the county an ongoing voice in regional conversations about food, agriculture, innovation, and business attraction.

317
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:44,000
And helps keep Sutter County's assets visible as new to opportunities to develop.

318
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,000
One of the most valuable parts of that work was our workshop and conversation with Metro Air Park representatives.

319
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Their experience reinforced that large-scale employment development is a long-term effort.

320
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:03,000
The winds visible there today are the result of decades of planning, infrastructure investment, and sustained public-private coordination.

321
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:14,000
That perspective matters for Sutter Point. The work we are doing now is laying the foundation for future development, even when the full results are not immediate.

322
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000
I want to be very clear about this one because it's often the first question.

323
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Land use is not the barrier. The sectors we're targeting advanced manufacturing, agra food processing, logistics and biotech are permitted by right and the E1 and E2 zones.

324
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,000
There's no discretionary land use hurdle for those uses.

325
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Conditional use permits do exist, but the triggers are narrow and predictable.

326
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,000
They're tied to specific hazardous material and fuel storage thresholds.

327
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Core industrial operations don't trip those.

328
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Conditional use permit requirements.

329
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
So what does that mean for you two things?

330
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Sutter Point zoning framework is ready for the target uses, which are approved by right.

331
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
I want to be careful with the word ready though.

332
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,000
The zoning readiness is not the same as shovel readiness.

333
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:10,000
The core land use framework is in place while the remaining path to construction runs through infrastructure, project-level permitting, and site-specific work.

334
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
And I'll come to that.

335
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Staff time is therefore best spent on site guidance and infrastructure delivery while the targeted specific plan refinements we're discussing move forward in parallel.

336
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:28,000
That's also a genuine competitive asset when we talk to site selectors because many competing sites can't say the same.

337
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
And here's a real change in market conditions since last year.

338
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Two employment zone properties are now actively for sale.

339
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:44,000
That gives prospective employers more than one location to evaluate and gives the county a clearer answer when site selectors ask what land is available.

340
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,000
The pattern matters more than either individual listing.

341
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:55,000
This is employment zone land, so it proves a direct, concrete example of the by-right story on this slide.

342
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Until recently, a site selector asking what's available, we didn't have a clean answer.

343
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Now they have two options.

344
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Available land is what turns an inquiry into a site visit and having multiple options helps keep Sutter Point on a short list.

345
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000
One point on the approval pathway, so there are no surprises later.

346
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:22,000
The specific plan EIR environmental impact report gives us a strong environmental foundation.

347
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
It did a lot of heavy lifting.

348
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Individual projects will still need to complete a focused project level,

349
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Sequo Review, and that's a routine part of permitting anywhere in California.

350
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:38,000
The reason I raise it is expectations when we communicate that pathway early and clearly,

351
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000
developers can build it into their schedules and it becomes a non-issue.

352
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,000
When it comes up late, it raises surprise and it costs us credibility.

353
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
So our posture is straightforward.

354
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:55,000
We present Sutter Point as highly prepared and well structured, and we're transparent about the steps that remain.

355
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:00,000
That combination of what builds investor confidence.

356
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Now to the demand picture, which I think will be the most encouraging part of this briefing.

357
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:13,000
Over the last 18 months, more than 10 major regional and state RFI opportunities, RFI is a request for information,

358
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,000
came to Sutter Point through GSEC, that is real and bound qualified interest.

359
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Together, those opportunities represent over $3.4 billion in potential capital investment, and more than 3,400 jobs.

360
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
The sectors are exactly the ones we've positioned for.

361
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Food and beverage processing, advanced manufacturing, including aerospace, AI and robotics and tire production,

362
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,000
and sustainable agritec, which aligns with the county's agricultural strengths.

363
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,000
I want to put that in wider frame, because this isn't a Sutter County anomaly.

364
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
We are aligning with where the regional market is already going.

365
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:54,000
GSEC's most recent analysis shows greater Sacramento leading California unemployment growth.

366
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:00,000
From 2020 to 2025, the region grew employment by 10.8%.

367
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000
The state grew as a whole at 9%.

368
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,000
And the average across San Francisco San Jose, LA and San Diego metrics was under 7%.

369
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:14,000
And the forecast through 2030 has greater Sacramento at 5.5%.

370
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Still ahead of the state and well ahead of those coastal metrics.

371
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
That's the market we sit inside.

372
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Brookings has also moved the region up sharply, and its metro monitor rankings over the last several years.

373
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,000
And GSEC has helped land names like Bosch, Solidine, and Samsung in the region.

374
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,000
This is a growth market that companies are actively choosing.

375
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Here's why that matters for us specifically.

376
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Regional growth of that size needs somewhere to go, and the coastal metrics are constrained.

377
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Sutterpoint is the largest employment zone opportunity in the northern part of this region.

378
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:54,000
Our job is to be aligned and ready when that growth looks north, and that alignment is what phase one built.

379
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,000
So the message I leave you with on this slide is a confident one.

380
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,000
The market has found us, our zoning matches with these companies need, our processes streamlined.

381
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Our regional partnerships are active, and land is now becoming available.

382
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000
While we continue the infrastructure work, we are already well positioned to attract this investment.

383
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:17,000
And every piece we finish makes us more competitive for it.

384
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:22,000
This is the problem we need to solve, and it's the most important slide in the deck.

385
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000
On power, these RFIs routinely ask for 10 to 40 megawatts or more.

386
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:33,000
One prospect needed up to 120 megawatts and later phases, and they want it on a two to three year schedule.

387
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:43,000
On water, we're seeing requirements up to 1.7 million gallons a day, with matching wastewater capacity, and they need confirmed delivery dates, not estimates.

388
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:49,000
On timing, that's where it breaks down. We cannot yet commit to firm utility completion dates on those schedules.

389
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:56,000
I want to be precise about the conclusion. These projects are not being screened out because the zoning framework fails to support the target uses.

390
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:05,000
The central constraint is that firm utility completion, firm utility completion dates cannot yet be committed on the schedules that these projects require.

391
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:17,000
Sight-specific readiness and project-level approval still matter, but infrastructure delivery is the pivotal issue that phase two is designed to address.

392
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,000
It's not all long-term. There's a category of projects we can win right now.

393
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Sutter County is immediately competitive for mid-scale projects with moderate utility footprints.

394
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:35,000
The profile is roughly 5 to 20 megawatts of power under 100,000 gallons a day of water, and a site under 50 acres.

395
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:49,000
A concrete example, in mid-scale food manufacturing operation, around $80 million of investment, needing about 0.3 megawatts, that could fit our current capacity and our right, our by-right zoning perfectly.

396
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,000
My recommendation is that we land one or two of these in the near term.

397
00:44:53,000 --> 00:45:00,000
They validate the market, they demonstrate the county can execute, and they build the track record will want when larger prospects come back.

398
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,760
We do that while the long-term infrastructure work proceeds in parallel.

399
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:12,080
So here's what I'm recommending for Phase 2. First, a market absorption study, it quantifies

400
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:17,040
how quickly land will actually absorb, which tells us how to face the infrastructure instead of guessing.

401
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:22,800
Second, and this is a significant one, partnering with rural county representatives of California

402
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:30,640
on an EDA grant. These funds, these funds would help with the engineering and scheduling work across

403
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:37,440
power, sewer, water, and roads. That's what converts a general intention into a date we can put in front

404
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:44,160
of a prospect. Third, sustained engagement with PG&E, gold state water, and sex sewer to establish

405
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:49,440
firm capacity commitments. And on the market facing side, we turn those commitments into

406
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:56,640
infrastructure fact sheets for RFI responses. We prepare and promote priority sites. We begin establishing

407
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:02,560
bill-to-soup pathways with developer partners, and we keep the G-second-go business relationships

408
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:08,720
active so the deal flow continues. They note on that word prepare. I'm delivering not calling

409
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:13,840
these pad-ready sites because they aren't yet. What we're doing is packaging the priority sites,

410
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:19,760
getting the site-level information into a form, a developer can act on, and scaling up how aggressively

411
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:26,400
we promote them as each readiness milestone is met. That way, we say publicly, what we say publicly,

412
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:32,000
always matches what we can always deliver. Same logic on bill-to-soup. I want to be clear that this

413
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:37,120
is phase two work, not something we're offering today. We don't have bill-to-soup product on the ground

414
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:42,160
right now. What we can do in phase two is establish those pathways with developer partners,

415
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:48,240
so that when site readiness advances, a prospect has a route from interest to a building without

416
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:56,560
starting from zero. To bring it together, phase one did what it was meant to do. We have organizational

417
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:02,000
readiness, a land use framework that supports the target industries, and strong regional partnerships.

418
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:07,360
Background work is established and phase two builds on it by advancing site-specific readiness

419
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,320
and infrastructure delivery. The core challenge in front of us is a timing gap between market

420
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:17,360
demand that exists today, and infrastructure that isn't yet scheduled. I'm excited to partner

421
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:23,360
Theo and phase two. The work I just outlined and make sure that these three things are moving forward

422
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:29,120
to help set her point, go from planning to active development. The interest is already here.

423
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:35,200
The question is whether we can meet it with the date. Thank you, and I'm happy to take any questions.

424
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:40,880
Thank you very much for that, and we'll bring it back for the board for questions discussion.

425
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,960
I'm sorry we'll open up the public comment. Is there any other comment? Any questions on set-up point

426
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:53,120
development? We'll close the public comment. Bring it back to the board for discussion. Questions?

427
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:59,840
Yes, sir. Thank you for the presentation. I was great. Very well organized and gives us something to

428
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:04,000
shoot forward and look forward to. It's nice to see a plan like laid out like that.

429
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:09,600
One of the things I wanted to, if you could address more, because we've been running into this,

430
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,800
it has to do with power right all together, and I know that you were a preview to a phone call that we were on

431
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:20,720
at one point with PG&E, who directly stated, and I'm saying this in public, of a record on purpose,

432
00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:27,920
but they said that they would be able to deliver the power we need for some usage that could be up to

433
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:35,040
their words are 800 megawatts. I've been questioning, how do we get those solid commitments that

434
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:41,360
you're talking about? How do we go from here to getting those commitments towards not just a promise on a phone

435
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:48,880
call, but we know for sure that they can deliver, and then some of the recent businesses, I know

436
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:55,440
supervisors, Stevens, and I have just recently visited a technology center, and their needs will be

437
00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:00,880
have to be delivered within 18 to 24 months maximum. Otherwise we couldn't even attract those

438
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:07,360
businesses here, so it's kind of weird because you have this chicken and egg scenario, and we're told

439
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:13,280
if you bring a user, you can have the power, and we're told if you have the power, we can get the user,

440
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:19,680
so how do we approach this? I mean, you have some ideas about just curious, how do we go from

441
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:25,040
you know, and I think that's what the next, I don't know, 1690 days, I'm going to try and earnest,

442
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:31,360
is I'm already meeting with the PG&E government affairs gentleman next week for lunch, but trying to get

443
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:37,520
something in writing, it's nice to have those conversations that words are exchanged and promises are made,

444
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:42,160
but getting it in writing is really what we need to get, and so if they're not able to commit to that

445
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:47,280
in a commitment letter or some other form, we're still kind of hamstring a little bit by promising

446
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:53,120
not to a user, a business or developer, so I'm hopeful to try to be a little more persistent and

447
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,280
try to get them to put something in writing, and we're going to have to try different levels,

448
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,960
it didn't give an organization, if that person isn't the one that can commit who is.

449
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,920
Yeah. Well, I appreciate your effort, I know, you know, I've been actively involved them,

450
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:12,720
but on the GZEC report for Saturday County, and a few years ago Steve Smith and I went to

451
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:20,160
a visit, and we actually had site selectors looking for a site in Sutter County. So we've gone through

452
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:25,280
this, you know, this, so your presentation really hits homes, because we went and we were feeling pretty

453
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,880
good about our presentation or like, yeah, they really liked our site, and it's matter of fact,

454
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:34,720
we found out they chose this as the number one site, but the problem was that we weren't ready,

455
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:39,280
right? We weren't site-ready, and some of these things that you talked about was power, water, sewer,

456
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,520
you know, weren't ready for the site, or the site they ended up going to, I forget the city they

457
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:49,520
ended up in, but they went to a big, a different site, and we lost out. So unfortunately, you know,

458
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:55,840
we celebrated for about 10 minutes, and then we lost it, but it was a big auto zone, actually auto zone

459
00:50:56,880 --> 00:51:01,920
distribution center, which would have brought, you know, millions of dollars of text dollars to

460
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:06,880
to the county in sales tax revenue, which would have been wonderful to have, and not to mention

461
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:11,440
the property tax revenue. So, but those are the kinds of things, and this is why it's so important

462
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:17,200
that we do focus on items that you're on, and I think having this like direct targeted focus that you're

463
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:23,040
working on, you know, I for once support you, and looking forward to great things ahead. Thank you.

464
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:27,440
Thank you. Any other questions? All right, but that I'll just leave it at this.

465
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:32,160
You know, if you look down our agenda, you're going to see we're talking about grants and so forth,

466
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:38,080
it's on because we know, I think the last time we spoke about I think was about 18 million for the

467
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:44,000
pipes underneath the highway, because we're going to get them pipes underneath that highway, and that's that's

468
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:50,400
key. You know, once again, auto zone, no pipes underneath the highway, we love your area, love the price,

469
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:58,080
you don't have any infrastructure. So, it's having the ability to go after those grants and work with

470
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:04,640
you, set like Dan does every year and so forth, but thank you very much for this, at least we know

471
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:13,760
we're on the same page. Perfect. Thank you. All right. With that, there's no vote required there.

472
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:20,000
We're going to move on to item number nine. Presentation of an update in planning for pioneer

473
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:27,840
community energies October 20, 27 service launch.

474
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,720
And I'm here today with my colleague, Lisa Rose, who is our community outreach manager.

475
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:54,320
As a quick recap, the Board of Supervisors and Pioneer began discussions about expanding pioneer

476
00:52:54,320 --> 00:53:02,320
service into center county back in 2024. Together, we conducted an impact assessment study which found

477
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:08,720
the expanding service would be beneficial for both the county and pioneer and the California Public

478
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:18,480
Utility Commission of proved that expansion in 2025 for an October 2027 service launch.

479
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:26,640
At the time that seemed like it was really far into the future, but today it's just 14 months away,

480
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:33,600
and we are really excited to share with you today and update on some of the new things that are happening

481
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:39,040
up pioneer, including services and programs, and also to talk about what the next 14 months

482
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:51,200
looks like as we prepare for this launch. How pioneer works? We are a not-for-profit community-owned

483
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:58,720
electricity provider. We are headquartered in Rockland, California. We purchase the power on the open

484
00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:05,840
market, and then PG&E delivers that power through its lines and polls to our shared customers who

485
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:15,760
receive just one bill. We currently serve El Dorado County, Placer County, and the cities of

486
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:25,120
Grass Valley, and Nevada City. In October 2027, the county will join pioneer and 15 other jurisdictions

487
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:32,720
as we grow our territory, and we are really excited to welcome Center County and to our community

488
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:38,640
and to become part of your community. We are also really excited about the benefits that we can offer the

489
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:48,720
county. For example, since 2018, when we launched through 2025, we saved our customers $145 million in saving.

490
00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:58,800
But in order to come into the county, we want businesses and residents to be excited that we're

491
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:04,560
coming as well. So we know that during the next 14 months, we need to reach out and talk to people,

492
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:10,960
we need to communicate and educate your constituents, so there are no surprises and they know exactly

493
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:17,840
what to expect. So I now would like to turn the floor over to my colleague Lisa, who will explain

494
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:23,920
what some of the things we have planned for 2020, or as we lead up to the service launch in

495
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:28,320
2027, and also the answer to any questions you might have.

496
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,880
So one of the things that we've discussed is how pioneer really strives to be a part of the community,

497
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:48,560
and so this slide really highlights our community partnerships and local reinvestment in some fun and

498
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:56,000
exciting ways. And so you'll see, even today, we were at feeding the hills in Rosville today,

499
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:02,320
helping and volunteering at the Food Bank. And we've strived to help with different STEM and science

500
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:09,920
education programs, helping out at the senior centers. So we really support local events, local programs,

501
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:14,880
and we also work to create local power purchase agreements in the areas that we serve.

502
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,480
I think I've been here before and told you a little bit about our power purchase agreements, and we're always

503
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:27,280
welcome and willing to discuss any power purchase agreement opportunities in this area. And

504
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:35,200
one of the power purchase agreements that we're working on and finalizing is in Klusa County for 15-year

505
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:40,720
power purchase agreement, solar and battery storage. But we've also been working and have worked

506
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:48,800
with Elder Auto Irrigation District on a 10-year, $37 million high-drow PPA. We also work with different

507
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,160
biomass projects in Grass Valley and also Georgetown.

508
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:01,280
So as Gina mentioned, we're excited to talk about some of our programs that we offer. We offer an AC2

509
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:08,480
reprobate program where residential customers can get up to $75 back when they tune up their AC unit.

510
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:14,480
And that goes for our commercial customers as well. There's a $150 repaid available. We also offer

511
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:20,400
a power shift rewards program, which gives each resident a $25 gift card just for signing up,

512
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:26,560
and then you earn more rewards when you're conserving energy when the grid is stressed. We have our grid

513
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:34,800
Gen 0 up front and its solar and battery at your home at no cost up front. So a no credit check.

514
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:39,840
So it's a great win-win for our customers. We also have a community advisory committee

515
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:47,440
that really looks at new programs. And so we would welcome having someone on our committee

516
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:55,280
and getting your input because every community is different and they have local needs and we want to

517
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:02,240
hear from you. And here's a couple other programs that we offer. I mean, Sutter County has many

518
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:09,600
AG programs and so we offer an hourly flex pricing program where our customers can reduce their

519
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:16,240
energy usage. And if they do that over a 12-month period, they receive rewards from that. And

520
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:22,480
our Board of Directors has approved two programs that our member agencies can participate in. It's the

521
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:30,720
clean fleet revenue program where you can generate rec credits for your EV vehicles and infrastructure.

522
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:36,720
And then we also have our solar recs program where if we have a solar race, you can generate rec credits

523
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:41,760
from that and receive a quarterly check. So those are two exciting programs that our Board has approved

524
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:49,360
and given early access for our member agencies to participate in. So as Gina mentioned, I'd like to provide

525
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:55,120
more information in an overview of what you can expect from Pioneer over the next 14 months.

526
00:58:55,120 --> 00:59:01,520
During this time we'll be implementing a very extensive public education campaign and it's really to

527
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:07,040
educate customers about Pioneer and take the mystery out of the process. Our goal is to make the

528
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:13,520
information clear and concise and we also want to offer that in Punjabi and Spanish to those residents

529
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:20,400
that would appreciate that communication. And it's all about collaboration and information sharing

530
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:25,200
right now. We're new and people are going to want to know who is Pioneer, who, what are they doing?

531
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:31,520
What are they offering? And we really want to take any misperceptions and educate our customers. Our

532
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:37,920
call center is available now and throughout the launch and at any time to provide support and accurate

533
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:43,600
information and to clear up any misperceptions that folks may have. We're prepared to address any

534
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:48,640
questions and misinformation if you're out in the community and you're hearing things. We want to know

535
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:55,760
so that we can work to address it. We have an FAQ that we will provide Steven and Jamie on to provide you

536
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,920
and they're just commonly asked questions you might get out in the community and we really want to strive to provide

537
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:26,000
That for you to give you more information. We also want to work with staff on a web page that talks about Pioneer and also has those FAQs on it. And so we have that content and other expansion communities are using that as well. And we're always available and willing to work with county staff on any questions and helping with this rollout plan. And we just want to say we're very excited to be a part of the Southern community.

538
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Pioneer has developed a phased approach to our community outreach and education program.

539
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:52,000
The first phase was a research phase and was completed in June. We joined the local chambers. We were researching community groups looking at your community organizations mapping and media monitoring.

540
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:58,000
We've moved in to phase 2 in July, through December, where we're developing paid media plans,

541
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:09,000
reserving ad spaces, briefing our Pioneer board, really approving our budget and briefing new member agencies and working on the messaging and materials development.

542
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:17,000
The next phase phase 3 will be from January through June. You'll start seeing our early ads that save Pioneer is coming.

543
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:27,000
And we'll be offering town halls, webinars, direct mail, social media, very, very robust ad campaign website updates and more.

544
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:33,000
We'll be presenting to your civic organizations as well and participating in community events.

545
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:42,000
Phase 4 is our final countdown July to September. Really a lot more ad campaign and town halls and more presentations.

546
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:49,000
If you think there's an organization that we need to get in front of and present to, we would welcome that feedback at any time.

547
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:56,000
And throughout these phases, we welcome your feedback and any ideas that you may have for us.

548
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:10,000
And then we will play our ads will change from Pioneers coming to Pioneers here and we'll be working on the post enrollment, the regulatory notices, direct mail pieces and more.

549
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:16,000
So just wanted to let you know, we very much welcome your feedback on that.

550
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:23,000
So to summarize, communications and community outreach play a key role for a successful partnership.

551
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:38,000
You have a voice in the process and we want your feedback. Again, we'll be ramping up a very extensive ad campaign and outreach program with paid media, direct mail town halls and an onsite presence at community events.

552
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,000
We want to be at the community events that you think we should be at. So please give us your feedback on that.

553
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:56,000
It does take a variety of communications vehicles to target the community and your community as unique, but we're here to be a resource in a community partner through this and we just wanted to thank you for your time today.

554
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Thank you.

555
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Thank you.

556
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:05,000
All right, we are going to open up for public comment.

557
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,000
Mr. Chairman, we have one public comment from Tony Farley.

558
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:38,000
All right.

559
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,440
and PG&E delivers the energy through its lines and pulse.

560
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,760
I like that, for this rock on the sock area,

561
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,520
I like that sock mode, air key, helping you to get a city out.

562
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,120
We need more soccer mill, you can city, we need more to add.

563
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:51,960
I like that.

564
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:55,760
Thank you, Tony.

565
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,120
Is there any other public comment?

566
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:58,760
No public comment, we'll close public comment.

567
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,840
Perry, bring it back for the board of discussion.

568
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:03,880
And yes, sir.

569
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:04,720
It's a chair.

570
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,200
Yes, thank you very much for the presentation.

571
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,760
Definitely appreciate all the information you provided.

572
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,160
Now, recently we heard, when you first came up,

573
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:19,440
we were looking somewhere around a 20% break on our energy.

574
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:23,200
And then after you started moving across several counties,

575
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,000
I think PG&E jumped in and decided

576
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,040
to charge a little more for the line maintenance

577
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:30,800
that they're usage, if you will.

578
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,640
So with that being said, what are we looking at,

579
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:39,520
probably, as a discount or break on our PG&E for our area?

580
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,360
So I don't have a crystal ball, but what I can tell you

581
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:48,080
is saving customers money is our number one priority.

582
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,600
And earlier this year, our board of directors in January

583
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,160
approved for the third consecutive year,

584
01:04:55,160 --> 01:05:00,520
a rate discount of 16%, which for this year

585
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,320
meant that on the generation portion of the bill,

586
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,360
which is the part of the bill that Pioneer can control,

587
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,080
we are an average of 10% less than PG&E.

588
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:11,440
Thank you.

589
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,280
Appreciate that.

590
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,160
Do that, sir.

591
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:19,280
I was just wondering if you may have some cloud with PG&E

592
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,040
to get the poles and utilities down into the south

593
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,680
southern county area, so we can develop down there.

594
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,840
We do not actually have any influence over there in infrastructure.

595
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:40,880
I got a few, first question, what's the possibility

596
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,560
for the future working with Ube County Water

597
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:49,560
and purchasing power from their grid?

598
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:55,400
So I will tell you, we prioritize working with local power providers,

599
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:59,080
but I think that always has to be a partnership.

600
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:02,720
And if they have power available,

601
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,880
we would prioritize it.

602
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,120
And I am sorry, although I can't speak for our procurement team,

603
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,640
I am certain they would try to procure it.

604
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:12,800
I don't know what capacity they have, though.

605
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:13,960
All right.

606
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,240
Thank you.

607
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,280
All right, with that being said, if there's no other,

608
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,400
but thank you very much for a presentation.

609
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:19,920
Thank you.

610
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,560
I'm moving on to our sheriff.

611
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:30,480
Can you hear me go?

612
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:35,920
Presentation on the Sutter County Sheriff's Office 2025 Annual Report.

613
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,520
Now you're good.

614
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,840
OK, good afternoon, board members.

615
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,440
Other county employees, members of our community.

616
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:44,720
Sutter County Sheriff Brandon Barnes.

617
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,880
I brought some notes, but I'm just going to throw those over here

618
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,080
and just kind of work off the cuff.

619
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:53,640
Each year, we produce an annual report that really represents who we are

620
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:54,880
as an organization.

621
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,720
And each year, we come before the board and we present that to you.

622
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,120
And this year is no different.

623
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:03,520
So what we're doing is the annual report for calendar year 2025.

624
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,480
Of course, this is available through our web page at SutterShareff.org.

625
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,160
So if there's community members that want to go and look at this

626
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,400
in greater detail, you can certainly do that.

627
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,280
I'm not going to go over every bit of information on every slide

628
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,800
for the interest of time, but I'm going to highlight a lot

629
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,680
of the good work that we've been doing.

630
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,040
Before I get started, though, I want to just kind of get all the

631
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:24,080
thank yous out of the way.

632
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:27,280
And so I generally start by thanking members of the community.

633
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:28,280
And I'm going to start.

634
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,680
I don't see Steve, but you know, the CEO's office is such a great partner.

635
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,720
And, you know, as Sheriff, we have a complex business, but Steve is always good about

636
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,080
listening as his bill.

637
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,280
So I want to make sure that I'm acknowledging them.

638
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,000
I saw that Allison left.

639
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,040
And I wish she hadn't, because I think she kind of stole a lot of my thunder, really

640
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:51,680
by pointing out that we can't operate without the collaborative effort of

641
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:52,680
everybody in the county.

642
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,520
And that includes all of the departments.

643
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,760
And she's exactly right in what she said.

644
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,480
I mean, we've got to keep vehicles on the road.

645
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,880
We've got to keep our computers running.

646
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,600
You know, we've got Neil's Department that gets contracts in place and

647
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:07,120
helps us with each back in the jail and Veronica's office.

648
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:12,040
They handles a lot of our recruiting, hiring personnel matters.

649
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:16,920
Again, you know, finding homes for people that are displaced in our community through

650
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:17,920
Sarah Shop.

651
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,200
And so it's very circular in how we work.

652
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,360
And we can't do it without a very collaborative approach.

653
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,440
And so I'm just very thankful about the relationships that we've built.

654
01:08:26,440 --> 01:08:29,880
So I want to acknowledge all the other department heads and say thank you to all of you

655
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,560
because without you, the Sheriff's Department would not be what it is.

656
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:34,560
And we recognize that.

657
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:36,440
So thank you very much.

658
01:08:36,440 --> 01:08:38,600
That's the one to think our board.

659
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,600
You guys are highlighted in this report.

660
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,000
I always pride myself on having a good relationship with all of you.

661
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:50,040
It was mentioned earlier about, you know, measure G in general fund tax dollars and

662
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:52,480
where those goes and interesting people.

663
01:08:52,480 --> 01:08:56,560
You know, I just want to stay for the community that every time that I've had an issue,

664
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:02,120
a budgetary matter or something that I needed for my staff or my office, and I brought that

665
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:06,800
before this board and previous boards, I have never been denied.

666
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,800
They have always been a big supporter of public safety and I don't have any reason to believe that's

667
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:12,800
going to change.

668
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:18,440
And so I want to thank all of you for your contributions to my office and my staff.

669
01:09:18,440 --> 01:09:23,400
I just want to thank my employees, every buddy at the Sheriff's Department, I'm a bit of

670
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:29,320
a history book and so to quote Teddy Roosevelt, the credit really belongs to the man and

671
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,360
the woman in the arena, they're the ones that are out doing the work, they're the boots on

672
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:38,720
the ground, they're the ones walking our jail, they're the one handling 911 calls, taking care

673
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:43,360
of civil processes and just so many other things that we do in the Sheriff's Department.

674
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:50,240
And so, you know, I know right now that at least one of our associations got a contract resolved

675
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:54,980
the other one is coming up, I think a little later this week, and in some cases there is much

676
01:09:54,980 --> 01:09:59,600
as 20% behind market, which is tough, I mean, imagine having a 50 year paycheck that should

677
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,000
be there that's just not there, right?

678
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,600
That's a tough thing to do, but what you'll see in this is that we still show up every day and

679
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:10,960
we do the best possible work that we can do and we do it with pride.

680
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,760
And I'll highlight this for you as we go through because a lot of the things you see have

681
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,200
to do with the stuff that we do out in the community, a lot of the events, right?

682
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:23,440
Those are really what make up the identity of the Sheriff's Office, that's who we are.

683
01:10:23,440 --> 01:10:27,280
But because of some of the budget cuts this year, I told myself, we're going to cut back on

684
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:31,880
coffee with a cop and we're going to cut back on this and we're not going to do that.

685
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:36,560
Because there's sometimes overtime involved with some of that stuff, almost universally everybody

686
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,320
said, Sheriff, we're going to do those things and we'll volunteer our time.

687
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:42,280
We will find ways to make those things happen.

688
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:47,520
So as an example, we just did national night out and I had told Steve, RCA, I said, I don't

689
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,120
think we're going to do national night out this year.

690
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:50,960
We just can't afford to.

691
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:57,120
What you saw in national night out was the staff really stepping up, salary staff, lieutenants,

692
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:01,840
captains that don't make overtime, volunteer their time to come out and make sure that national

693
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,520
night happen for our community.

694
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:04,960
And so I'm very proud of that.

695
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:09,120
I'm very proud of what you'll see in this report and we hope to carry that moving forward.

696
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:13,360
So with that, we'll get into the meeting potatoes of the report here.

697
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:18,760
We always start out with who we are, our values, our mission, our motto and that's described there.

698
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,440
I will tell you that this year's report, I'm especially proud of, I think it has a very good

699
01:11:22,440 --> 01:11:27,360
look to it from the cover that highlights the diversity of our department, one of our new

700
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:33,240
patrol vehicles and it's just really who we are and I'm very proud of that.

701
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:34,240
Table of contents.

702
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:39,080
Again, protecting every corner, each of you have a district and we cover every square

703
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:43,720
inch of that, including areas of UBCID because of the services that we provide throughout

704
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:44,720
the county.

705
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:49,440
And so we really wanted to highlight that and make sure that the community knew that we're

706
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:54,640
in all of these spaces, all of these areas providing service.

707
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,640
Advanced staff.

708
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:01,360
Then we go into a couple of pages just to memorialize my time as the President of California State

709
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:02,360
Sheriff's Association.

710
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:07,120
I certainly didn't want to make this about me, but I thought it was unique enough that since

711
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:11,160
we're at Whitaker, we have not had a President of the State Sheriff's Association.

712
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:12,920
So that's an, you know, an honor and very proud of it.

713
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:18,440
So I got to do a lot of very cool things during that year, including our first annual barbecue

714
01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:19,440
cook-off.

715
01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:23,600
We just finished our second annual and I want to acknowledge two of our supervisors that actually

716
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:24,760
donated to this event.

717
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:29,560
We had this down at Travis Air Force Base, where the sheriffs had a competition, but then

718
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:35,480
we fed about 400 of our service men and women on that particular day and they ate really well.

719
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:39,680
So not only was it a win for public safety, but it was a win for a military, and supervisors

720
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:45,320
of Zigg and Myers, Supervisor Bains, both contributed monetarily to that with donations to make

721
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:46,320
that happen.

722
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,040
So thank you to both of you, gentlemen.

723
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,040
Leadership.

724
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,040
Sherman Block.

725
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:54,040
We continue investing our staff, everything from Sherman Block, command college, which you'll

726
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,040
see there with Captain Piazza.

727
01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,720
We also highlighted the police world games down there, two of our officers went to the world

728
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,040
games.

729
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:06,840
We brought back a total of 15 gold medals in trafficking, 20 overall medals, and they

730
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:07,840
were gearing up again.

731
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:12,080
They wanted to go to the next ones, but they're in Australia, and so I think they kind of decided

732
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:13,080
against that.

733
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:18,800
They're going to wait till it gets back at least in somewhere in the United States, hopefully,

734
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:23,080
but I was going to ask if I could go to Australia with them, but I didn't know how that go over.

735
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:24,080
Right?

736
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,080
Yeah.

737
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:26,080
Go for me.

738
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,480
You know, the other thing too is the FBI National Academy, Lieutenant Man, was able to attend

739
01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:32,080
that this past year.

740
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:33,080
It's a unique opportunity.

741
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,920
It's 10 weeks at Quantico, Virginia, and I will tell you that in my time, generally within

742
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,600
a department, you can look up and down the halls and say there's one.

743
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:44,680
Maybe two people that have went through this very esteemed academy.

744
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:49,440
We happen to have three in our department that are all graduates of the FBI National Academy,

745
01:13:49,440 --> 01:13:53,760
with Lieutenant Man, being the latest, and I will tell you the way period is about five, six

746
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,560
years, sometimes, which is why you only have one or two usually.

747
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,880
But very proud of that accomplishment.

748
01:13:59,880 --> 01:14:01,960
We recognized our employees of the year.

749
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,960
Additionally, we celebrated 175 years of being a sheriff's department.

750
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,760
We were one of the original 27 counties back in 1851, California, became a state.

751
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:17,240
So to more memorialize that, we had a separate patch, a belt buckle, and a badge that just

752
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,720
honor the 175 years that we had as a sheriff's office.

753
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,480
I couldn't imagine what it was like to go to use Nicholas on horseback.

754
01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:25,480
I'm glad I don't have to find out.

755
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:31,120
Just our partnerships with so many great agencies around that picture.

756
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,720
You see at the bottom as unique, because that is actually the briefing for the Seek Parade on the

757
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:42,520
morning of the parade, and anywhere from 60 to 80 people, all present that day to help us out.

758
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:47,120
So that's just one of the ways that we collaborate with all of our partners throughout the region,

759
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:51,840
not just you, but you, but even further north and down to Sacramento.

760
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:54,960
We continue to sponsor people through the Academy.

761
01:14:54,960 --> 01:15:00,080
That's been a good program for us, and really, you know, investing in people that are from our local.

762
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Local community, hoping that they will stay here and continue to be employed at Sutter County and be part of the community moving forward.

763
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:13,000
We had some promotions, some new hires. We documented all of those.

764
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:17,000
A little bit on the budget, just a snapshot, operating budget, grant legislative payments.

765
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,000
There is a mistake on this page. I'm just going to own it since my name is on it.

766
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:27,000
But at the bottom, you see the total budget of just over 60 million. That is not correct. That was an add-on that we missed in editing.

767
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:31,000
You'll see just above that almost $12 million in grants and legislative payments.

768
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:35,000
That number should be part of the overall 48 million.

769
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,000
So just regard that last thing there. And we'll put a little disclaimer in there for the community.

770
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,000
So there are aware of that.

771
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Some statistics covering dispatch, our civil department as well.

772
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:52,000
What you'll see is almost 15,000 911 calls throughout the course of the year.

773
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
And again, we're down four positions in dispatch right now.

774
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:58,000
Many of the same challenges that we're expressed by the fire department.

775
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:02,000
So we're working to overcome those sort of variety of strategies.

776
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:08,000
And then you'll see just an overview of the types of calls that we take and the types of services that we have.

777
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,000
Life scans, all the different services we provided to sheriff's office.

778
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,000
Hi, lighting our good folks and corrections.

779
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Courts, you'll see them highlighted there as well.

780
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,000
And then some of our different units and divisions throughout the sheriff's department.

781
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:28,000
This is our operations, of course our tactical teams, search and rescue, boat patrol.

782
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Our support services, dispatch records, evidence, our civil division.

783
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Social media, 2025 stats here is here.

784
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,000
I want to acknowledge her and just talk about what a great job she's done.

785
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:46,000
If you look at the statistics there, I mean, they're really overwhelming.

786
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:50,000
You'll see down there just over 23,000 followers on our social media page.

787
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,000
I will tell you that number is now over 25,000.

788
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:56,000
It's gone up since this has gone to print and profile visits.

789
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:01,000
You know, almost 300,000 people are visiting our pages and getting information from the sheriff's department.

790
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:02,000
It's pretty strong.

791
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:06,000
It's comparable to some big counties quite frankly.

792
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,000
And at the bottom there, you'll see that picture of Sierra.

793
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,000
She's actually so good at what she's doing now.

794
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:12,000
She's actually training other people on how to do this.

795
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,000
And so we're very proud of her and the work that she's put in and the asset.

796
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:22,000
But I will tell you just the number of eyes that are touching down on Saturday County because of her and the work that she's doing or just phenomenal.

797
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Not to mention, I think she probably took like 90% of the photos that are in this annual report as well.

798
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,000
So congratulations to her.

799
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,000
And thank you for all the work that you do.

800
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,000
We appreciate you.

801
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,000
Okay, 19, always very popular.

802
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Everybody loves the puppies.

803
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,000
You'll see on the far right there, Bailey.

804
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,000
She's actually in our corrections unit.

805
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:45,000
She's helping keep a contraband and things like that out of the jail.

806
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:50,000
Our search and rescue team, which is got some of our, our sworn staff, but also primarily made up of volunteers.

807
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,000
So we appreciate them.

808
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,000
She with the sheriff, always one of our more popular events.

809
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:59,000
And this is one of those events that my staff was like, yeah, we're not going to allow you to cancel that.

810
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,000
It's too important to the community.

811
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:07,000
And so we'll be hosting that again sometime around the first Friday or second Friday of October.

812
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Is it the ninth I believe?

813
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Yeah, the ninth.

814
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
So that's coming up here pretty soon.

815
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,000
So look for advertising on that and those usually feel it pretty quick.

816
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,000
So if you're interested, please reach out.

817
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:18,000
Improvements.

818
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,000
We always want to be good stewards with the money that we get.

819
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,000
The things that are approved by the board.

820
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,000
We've got some projects that have been going on.

821
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,000
You'll see the jail floors there before and after.

822
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:32,000
The after is also a kind of a non-slip resistant material.

823
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:33,000
So that's good.

824
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,000
The men's locker room before and after just a tremendous improvement there.

825
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,000
We recognize that we're never going to build a new sheriff's department in my lifetime as sheriff.

826
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:45,000
But we've got to take care of the things that we have.

827
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,000
And so where we can make these upgrades and improve.

828
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,000
We do everything we can to help facilitate that.

829
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,000
The bottom one there, jail lighting, you'll see the before and after.

830
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Just by changing our light fixtures and doing things like that.

831
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,000
I mean, improve the overall safety of the facility.

832
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,000
Blue envelope program.

833
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:05,000
Something kind of special to my heart.

834
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:11,000
One of the things we wanted to do, this really originated out of, you know, identifying people that have autistic needs.

835
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:12,000
But it's more than just that.

836
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,000
It's people with, you know, other special needs as well.

837
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:20,000
And so through a lot of these things, these blue envelopes, which have personal contact information,

838
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:25,000
land your seat belt covers, buttons, key chains, wristbands, stickers.

839
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:29,000
It allows our officers to identify somebody who might have a special needs.

840
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Some people have sensory issues, like, you know, light can kind of trigger them, right?

841
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,000
We just always want to make sure we're being sensitive to that.

842
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,000
It's personal to me because my grandson is autistic.

843
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,000
And so it's very proud to be able to put that into place this last year.

844
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,000
Below, you'll see some work from the Eagle Scouts.

845
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:50,000
They did a lot of upgrades for us at the range, so we're very appreciative of them.

846
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:55,000
They built us some some benches and some gun racks and different things for us out of the range.

847
01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:01,000
National night out, which we just discussed, one of our big events every year that we just get to celebrate coming out as a community

848
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,000
and keeping everybody safe.

849
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,000
Great photos.

850
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:11,000
Some of the work that we did, charity basketball game up in the city of live oak,

851
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,000
to raise money for silver granite.

852
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,000
So we're very proud to be able to sponsor that and help out there.

853
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,000
And again, just more things with our community involvement.

854
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000
We always in the year, we shop with a cop in December.

855
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,000
Such a great turnout.

856
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:31,000
I want to kind of acknowledge not only the POA and the DSA, but Deputy Verk.

857
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:35,000
He's one of our detectives, and he kind of took this on last year and made it bigger and better.

858
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,000
We were able to serve dinner at the Sheriff's Department.

859
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:39,000
We had a rain deer.

860
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,000
We had all kinds of good stuff going on.

861
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:45,000
And then we got them bused over to Walmart for the actual shopping.

862
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,000
So much bigger this year in 2025.

863
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,000
And I'm sure they'll improve upon that again this year.

864
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,000
Always a fun night.

865
01:20:55,000 --> 01:21:00,000
And we help a lot of kids and put a lot of smiles on people's faces.

866
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,000
And then again, just some more of the stuff that we've done in the community.

867
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,000
We always want to make sure we're moving forward.

868
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,000
I mean, one of my big things is never to sit still, right?

869
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:12,000
We've always got to be accomplishing something which can be challenging at times with, you know,

870
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,000
reducing budgets and things like that.

871
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,000
But just on the horizon, obviously, you know,

872
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:21,000
the point was mentioned earlier and how we're working with them to make sure we have a good plan

873
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,000
in place for public safety.

874
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,000
And they actually paid for the first deputy that went through the academy.

875
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,000
And we'll have a deputy working down there.

876
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,000
And so we want to acknowledge them.

877
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,000
And we've got more of that to come in the future.

878
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:37,000
So they've been good partners in that respect.

879
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Some dispatch upgrades and then jail again with our HVAC project.

880
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,000
That'll be a multi-year project that we're working on.

881
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:46,000
And then that bottom picture there is just on the other side of our visiting glass.

882
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:51,000
We've had some, some very creative people that have been incarcerated in our jail.

883
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:52,000
And they've made good use for their time.

884
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:56,000
That's actually some paintings from people that were incarcerated.

885
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,000
And the work that they've done.

886
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,000
And so you'll see this kind of throughout the jail.

887
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
As a way to, you know, show improvements but also kind of live spirits and make sure that we're focused on,

888
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,000
you know, mental health and those types of things.

889
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,000
So a lot of good work going on in the jail right now.

890
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,000
And we're very proud of the work they're doing.

891
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:14,000
And some of our contact information on the end.

892
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,000
So that'll conclude the formal presentation.

893
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:25,000
But again, I'll just say, you know, I couldn't be more proud to represent the sheriff's office and a group of men and women that give so much back to this community.

894
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,000
As you can see through a lot of the pictures.

895
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:31,000
And again, you know, we could almost $4 million from our budget this year,

896
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:32,000
which was no easy task.

897
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:37,000
We have roughly 23 vacant positions that are not out providing essential services to the community.

898
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:42,000
But despite that, you know, they just tied their boots up a little bit more and they get to work.

899
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,000
And I couldn't be more proud of that.

900
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:50,000
And, you know, I think all of you, I hope we'll see that in them and continue to support them as best you can.

901
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:54,000
So with that, I'll be happy to answer any questions for the board.

902
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,000
All right. Well, for so we'll open up the public comment period.

903
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
Now, if I have a comment, we'll close that.

904
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,000
Bring it back to the board for discussion.

905
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Do the chair.

906
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,000
I just want to thank you for the great presentation.

907
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,000
You do a good one every year and seems to get better and better every year.

908
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:14,000
So things are going really well and appreciate all the work that you do.

909
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:17,000
And the department does for the county and keeping us safe.

910
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,000
And just over all of this one as I thank you.

911
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:20,000
Yeah.

912
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:21,000
Thank you.

913
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:22,000
Super best.

914
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Nope.

915
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,000
I just want to say the same thing.

916
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:26,000
Absolutely.

917
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,000
Thank you very much.

918
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,000
I know over gosh.

919
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:34,000
It seems like it's a few times how much stuff you've been doing jointly with our fellow surrounding agencies.

920
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Thank you guys for the awesome work you did last week.

921
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:40,000
It was all over the news and in catching all those predators.

922
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:46,000
That was a great, great job to all those involved in all the, you know, to care that.

923
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Well, thank you very much.

924
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,000
Thank you, sir.

925
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:51,000
All right.

926
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,000
But that will move on to Steve.

927
01:23:55,000 --> 01:24:00,000
Approval of the Board of Supervisors response to the fiscal year 2025-26.

928
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,000
Set our county grand jury final report.

929
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Thank you, honorable chair and supervisors.

930
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,000
So the grand jury report each year.

931
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,000
We receive a report typically in June.

932
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:20,000
That we have we, meaning the county the board has 90 days to respond to.

933
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,000
And there's various recommendations.

934
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:30,000
This year's report had just a couple recommendations in our act department.

935
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:35,000
And each year they go through the jail per law.

936
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,000
I had no recommended changes there.

937
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,000
So that was our update.

938
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:42,000
So we're really proud of that.

939
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,000
And thanks to the sheriff's office running running a tight ship there.

940
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:52,000
We also received some very positive comments about health and human services.

941
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,000
And the work that is going on there.

942
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:56,000
So that was great as well.

943
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:59,000
There were no recommended changes or findings there.

944
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,000
And then within the agricultural commissioners office,

945
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:09,000
there was just two findings and two recommendations.

946
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,000
And as you'll see in the report in the recommended response,

947
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:17,000
the first grand jury recommendation was that that agricultural department

948
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:21,000
create a clear standard for assessing pesticide fines.

949
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:26,000
And also recommends the department, including a procedure for how they choose

950
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,000
the final dollar amount on every new.

951
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:35,000
Nopa document and this should be completed by January 31st,

952
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,000
2027.

953
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,000
And that's a notice of proposed action.

954
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:46,000
So in the response, the first we state the first part of the recommendation has been implemented.

955
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:50,000
And under the penalty section of every notice of proposed action,

956
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:54,000
issued by the Southern County Agricultural Commissioner.

957
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:58,000
There's a clear statement of the facts that supports the classification and

958
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:03,000
fine amount per 3 CCR section, 6130D.

959
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
I'm sure you're all familiar with that section.

960
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:12,000
3 CCR section, 6130D states that when determining the fine amount within the fine range,

961
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:18,000
the commissioner shall use relevant facts, including severity of actual or potential effects

962
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,000
in the respondents compliance history.

963
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:25,000
And include those relevant facts in the notice of proposed action.

964
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:31,000
However, the second part of the recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted.

965
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:34,000
That is language we have to use by law.

966
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:43,000
So it's not that we disregard the intent or the recommendation of the grand jury.

967
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:48,000
And the reason here pesticide laws and regulations do not require this.

968
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Each instance of pesticide violation is unique.

969
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:56,000
And many factors come into play when establishing final fine dollar amounts,

970
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:02,000
including severity of actual or potential effects and the respondents compliance history.

971
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:08,000
So however working closely with Lisa Herbert, our agricultural commissioner,

972
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:13,000
she wanted to note that on June 12, the Department of pesticide regulations,

973
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:18,000
noticed a proposed regulatory action to change enforcement response.

974
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:24,000
In summary, the proposed action will revise appropriate enforcement responses to be taken

975
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:30,000
by the county, agricultural commissioner, each time a violation occurs to improve effectiveness

976
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,000
and clarity of the regulations.

977
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:40,000
The other recommendation from the grand jury was that the Department leaders follow existing office policies

978
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:46,000
and written duty statements when assigning work, which should be completed by October 31st,

979
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,000
2026.

980
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,000
And that recommendation has been implemented.

981
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:59,000
There was in the report some findings that duties were assigned, but not always by supervisors.

982
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,000
However, we didn't have specific examples.

983
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
They didn't have specific examples to offer.

984
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:10,000
To state, you know, what should be changed on that.

985
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:15,000
However, the agricultural department management team reviewed the county and department procedures

986
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:21,000
and functions by staff member and organization chart, job descriptions and consulted with HR,

987
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:28,000
has found that existing procedures are being followed and are communicated appropriately with staff.

988
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:32,000
So that's all pretty short response this year.

989
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:36,000
I want to thank the grand jury, the grand jurors.

990
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,000
It's 19 people.

991
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,000
If you're lucky to get that many.

992
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:45,000
And that they stay on throughout the year and it is a.

993
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:53,000
It's a quite a dedication of time throughout the year that they put forward and do good things for the county and the cities and the schools.

994
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:58,000
They make recommendations on all kinds of things, not just to set our county.

995
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:01,000
So appreciate their time and dedication to the community.

996
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,000
Thank you, Steve.

997
01:29:03,000 --> 01:29:05,000
And that we're going to open up the comment.

998
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:06,000
No public comment.

999
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,000
Bring back for the board for discussion.

1000
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:10,000
Dan.

1001
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:11,000
Sorry.

1002
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,000
The supervisor bans was up for supervisor bans.

1003
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,000
Okay.

1004
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,000
I just wanted to thank you Steve for that report.

1005
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:21,000
And I just want to thank the grand jury for all the hard work they put into.

1006
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:26,000
While Ontario takes a lot of effort to be on a grand jury and to go through all of that.

1007
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:30,000
And have the findings and follow up and go to all the different meetings.

1008
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:34,000
I really appreciate their service.

1009
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,000
You see what guys, bans.

1010
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:37,000
We'll do it.

1011
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,000
All right.

1012
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Well, I just want to.

1013
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:40,000
I want to echo.

1014
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:44,000
The supervisor floor said I encourage others to apply for the grand jury.

1015
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,000
It's a great thing to have.

1016
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,000
We're lucky to have those eight nineteen.

1017
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:49,000
So please apply for that.

1018
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,000
All right.

1019
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:53,000
So we got a motion and we got a second by supervisor.

1020
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:54,000
Stevens.

1021
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Can we get a roll call please.

1022
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,000
Supervisor.

1023
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:58,000
I.

1024
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Supervisor.

1025
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Hi.

1026
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:07,040
Supervisor Zigmire, supervisor Baines, supervisor Stevens, motion passes, moving on to item number 12.

1027
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:12,720
Approval of an agreement with California County's foundation for the period of August 11,

1028
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:21,920
26 through August 10, 29, in an amount not to exceed $225,000 to provide strategic grant consulting

1029
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:27,200
services and authorization for the chair to execute the agreement and any future amendments.

1030
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:35,200
Jamie Young, Deputy County Administrator, good afternoon Honorable Chair and Board Members.

1031
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:41,680
Before a year's an agreement to receive strategic grant consulting services, the agreement

1032
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:49,040
term is for a period of three years. The annual compensation is $50,000 with optional

1033
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:55,360
LK grant writing services available as needed for a total annual amount not to exceed $75,000.

1034
01:30:55,360 --> 01:31:02,160
If you see that grant initiative or a CGI connects California counties with federal

1035
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:07,200
state and foundation grant opportunities that can support critical community priorities.

1036
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:12,400
Through its partnership with the Ferguson group who is also our federal lobbyist,

1037
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:17,920
CGI provides counties with access to experience grant professionals who understand the unique

1038
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:22,320
funding, landscape, needs, and challenges of California County government.

1039
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:28,960
So joining us remotely, today is Christie Moore with the Ferguson group and Veronica Smith with CSAC.

1040
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:35,440
They will provide a prep overview of the services available through CGI, share their experience working

1041
01:31:35,440 --> 01:31:41,920
with other counties and decision-incering any questions your board may have regarding the services provided.

1042
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:58,480
Can you guys hear me?

1043
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:04,560
We can hear you. Yeah, we can hear you log. Okay, but I'm not on video.

1044
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:18,320
I don't have to be on video. I don't need to be on the giant screen in the room.

1045
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:23,040
I don't think we have that option. I'm sorry.

1046
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:26,960
Okay, no, that's perfectly fine. I think Veronica Smith is online as well.

1047
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:33,920
I do have some slides that I can present if that's available. If not, I can just speak off the cuff

1048
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,640
and not use slides to up to you, Chair.

1049
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:42,480
We're fine. I don't think we have access to this slides anyway, so you can just...

1050
01:32:42,480 --> 01:32:50,560
Okay. Okay, perfect. So yes, as the TFT is the Grant Provider for the C-Secret Grants Initiative.

1051
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:57,760
The C-Secret Grants Initiative has been partnering with California counties for about four to

1052
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:06,320
five years now, giving over one of the largest obstacles that has faced local governments who are pursuing

1053
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:11,520
grant funding and that is the federal freeze of last year. We are now happy to see that that has

1054
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:18,720
lifted and that the federal grant programs are now open, coming out quite regularly with awards

1055
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:23,680
and notices of funding availability opening up and being announced almost daily at this point.

1056
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:31,600
The package before you is what we consider a tier one level of service for the county, which is where we

1057
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:37,760
work with you to understand your projects, your needs and your priorities. We match those to

1058
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:43,360
relevant grant programs. It's important to note when we look at the matching, we actually look at

1059
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:48,960
the federal grants, state grants, and any state or any private information grants that might be available

1060
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:54,960
for your projects as well. We put them together in a comprehensive strategic funding plan. That's

1061
01:33:54,960 --> 01:34:01,760
strategic funding plan. It guides us through the entire process. It is organic. It is ever changing.

1062
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:07,680
As your priorities change, new projects come up, new grant programs come out, and as priorities

1063
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:12,960
for those grant programs change, we're constantly updating that strategic funding plan to make sure

1064
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:18,240
that your projects are matched with the correct programs, the most viable programs and most importantly,

1065
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:24,560
are ready to receive those funds. So we work to get in advance, to get a project ready for the

1066
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:29,840
program before the grant notice of funding availability opens. That allows us to get out of your

1067
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:35,040
partnership. Gather any data or information that will strengthen the grant program or the

1068
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:41,520
grant application to make it more competitive. And most importantly, allow your staff and you as a

1069
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:47,280
four to understand what the post award implications would be if you did accept those grant that grant

1070
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:52,880
funding either the state or federal level. There's generally not as much reporting involved in private funding

1071
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:58,400
and foundation funding, but we look at that as well. So we can get through the entire grant cycle

1072
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:03,840
if you think of it in three different major chunks of time, which is the pre-award and

1073
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:09,600
project vetting and project prioritization, the grant writing itself or applying for the grants

1074
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:14,400
and supporting those grant applications once they're submitted, and then the poster award side,

1075
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:18,240
which is a bit of a waiting game as we wait for the grants to be announced and awarded,

1076
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:23,440
but they're there to support to use so that you're ready to receive those funds when they come out.

1077
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:29,280
We are happy to report that we have been working with almost 10 different counties in California at this

1078
01:35:29,280 --> 01:35:37,280
point. Many of those on a multi-year strategic plan. We are looking to help match them. The return on

1079
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:46,240
investment is almost crazy in some cases into the 4,000 and 5,000 percent return on investment,

1080
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:52,400
where we've helped communities like Imperial secure almost $24 million and just 18 to 20 months.

1081
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:59,440
Inyo County is over $4 million and just shy of two years of participating in CGI

1082
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:06,480
and Ventura County as well as Sacramento County, have both received awards to our support as well.

1083
01:36:06,480 --> 01:36:13,440
So we're very proud to be able to kind of debunk the grant world and the grant space for counties

1084
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:19,040
and help bring those federal and state and private dollars down to California counties.

1085
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:25,600
So I'm going to stop there and open it up for questions and let's run a key. You want to say anything?

1086
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:34,880
Do you want me to have trouble coming off mute too? Any questions?

1087
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:39,920
Well, let me open up a comment. Check first and see if there's any public comment. First is there any public

1088
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:45,520
comment? No public comment. We'll bring it back to the board for some questions and discussion.

1089
01:36:46,480 --> 01:36:51,520
The chair, if I may. Yes. Well, quick. I think as Christy mentioned this,

1090
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:58,000
but part of this is being strategic so that when we receive a notice of funding availability and

1091
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:04,400
know we're not scrambling saying, oh, what could we do with this? That we develop a strategic funding plan

1092
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:10,800
and they know what grants are out there when they typically come out and then we plan ahead and then we have

1093
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:19,200
the best chance moving forward because we've prepared ahead of time to put together the best grant

1094
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:28,800
application possible. Yes. Do the chair. Yeah. So there's no doubt we need support on grants. We talked

1095
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:33,120
about this for a long time. So there's no doubt about that. I just have a question on like reading through

1096
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:39,760
the staff report on little, I guess, an understanding, Christy of what are exact, the exact

1097
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:46,560
measureables or like deliverables that will come from the grant. You mentioned 4,000 percent return

1098
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:53,440
and if we can guarantee 4,000 percent return, I'll sign this right now with the person guaranteeing it.

1099
01:37:53,440 --> 01:37:59,120
But I'd just like to know like what are the exact measurements from this because you're asking for a

1100
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:05,120
three-year commitment and then 225,000 and this isn't really for writing the grants, right? This is just

1101
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:13,520
for alignment or can you just explain it a little better? Sure. Sure. So the contracts and the package is through

1102
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:19,920
CGA are actually on an annual basis. That allows us to get to know the county, get to know the different

1103
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:25,280
departments and the priorities and then go through the entire grant cycle. It's important to know

1104
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:30,480
the most of the time, the entire grant cycle or the project cycle can take almost anywhere between

1105
01:38:30,480 --> 01:38:37,120
12 to 18 months. And that's from project idea to finding the correct program or the best program,

1106
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:43,040
developing that application, applying, waiting and then going into agreement. On the short ends,

1107
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:49,200
you'd have to have a grant, a project that's ready and a grant that opens tomorrow, closes in two months

1108
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:54,000
and that's kind of on the shorter end. But it can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months to kind of get

1109
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,840
from that project idea all the way to delivering the project. So we're through that entire cycle

1110
01:39:01,440 --> 01:39:09,040
and supporting the project at every, at every level. Multi-year grant programs are usually

1111
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:15,440
where we see that return on investment. So those numbers I cited are for counties that have utilized

1112
01:39:15,440 --> 01:39:21,680
these CGA services for multiple years. The first year is really built, is really spent with the

1113
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:28,160
focus on building the strategic funding plan. We go in, we meet with every department who has an

1114
01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:32,320
interesting grant, even if they don't think they have an interesting grants or might have anything that

1115
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:38,640
they think is worth pursuing funding for. We meet with them. And we put that into a plan that we then

1116
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:47,200
start to match with the programs too. And then work with county staff as well as you to start to prioritize

1117
01:39:47,200 --> 01:39:53,520
those projects to say, which these are the ones that are the most important to us. We do a funding

1118
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:59,520
meter, so to speak, where we say these are the ones that are most likely to receive funding and we start

1119
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:07,920
to scope out or calendar the approach to apply for the applications themselves. Year two is where we start to see

1120
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:13,920
much more application development or much more submission of grants come to play because you kind of

1121
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:18,640
put your work in, identify the projects, match them with the programs and now you're ready to grant

1122
01:40:18,640 --> 01:40:24,960
or to write. And then three years three is generally almost all about grant writing because everything

1123
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:30,960
starts to line up at that point. The option that you guys have chosen is multi year with the addition

1124
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:39,360
of grant writing. With the budget included that allows you to utilize the grant writing services,

1125
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:45,040
if you want to utilize our services to write the grants, then you have that option so you can quickly

1126
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:52,240
move into it. We have found that that helps accelerate a lot of county into the grant writing phase because

1127
01:40:52,240 --> 01:40:59,040
they don't have to come back and look for another grant writer or ask for permission or get budget authority

1128
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:06,800
to do that. So I believe there's $75,000 over the course of the three years that's reserved for grant writing

1129
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:12,240
that will only excuse me, only really be topped into when you're ready to write a grant. That way you're

1130
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:19,680
not paying us a write a grant when we're not actually writing your grant. Thank you, Chair. Yes, Supervisor.

1131
01:41:20,480 --> 01:41:27,280
Yes, Krissie. This is Supervisor Stevens. A couple of questions. One is this to my understanding,

1132
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:34,320
this is a partnership with CSAC, is that correct or you work through them? Yes, yes. The contract in

1133
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:40,000
Veronica texted me, she's not able to unmute. So it's kind of fell in. Or it looks like she can unmute now.

1134
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:48,560
Veronica, do you want to explain her? I'm sure. There you are. Apologies for the technical difficulties.

1135
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:58,160
I'm good afternoon, Chair, and board to that question. This is a partnership between the CSAC

1136
01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:05,760
Foundation and the Ferguson group. This has been the partnership for the past four years since the

1137
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:14,000
inception of the program. Okay, and one of my questions would be, so I've heard in the discussions.

1138
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:20,720
I think you said you had like 13 counties involved with it or how well is it attended?

1139
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:32,240
Yes, so over the course of launch, we've had 13 counties that have engaged with us. Right now,

1140
01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:39,360
we are still in contract with seven counties for services. Okay, and what was the reason for the

1141
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:49,440
other counties to withdraw? Well, not all counties entered into premium packages. So there's been

1142
01:42:49,440 --> 01:42:55,520
some instances where we wrote one off grants as opposed to doing a host of services.

1143
01:42:56,320 --> 01:43:05,680
In the case of two counties, one was did not have the budget to allocate going forward. And so that was

1144
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:15,680
their reason for not renewing for a third year. And in our initial one of our initial counties slow,

1145
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:22,320
they just did not have the technical, they did not have the funding resources as well. They were

1146
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:30,160
tier four counties, which was significantly higher investment than tier one. And so

1147
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:37,760
because of budget and fiscal constraints, they did not opt to move forward. But those were the only two

1148
01:43:38,480 --> 01:43:44,640
that did not continue services, but in the other cases, the case was they were one off grant writing services

1149
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:51,680
as opposed to annual contracts. Okay, thank you. The chair, I got it. So to follow up on Sue,

1150
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:59,920
Stephen question out. Veronica, what are the minimum performance requirements for this? Because it

1151
01:43:59,920 --> 01:44:04,720
sounds like year one, we're going to get a report saying, hey, these are the grants we should go after.

1152
01:44:04,720 --> 01:44:11,120
So really there won't be any funding of grants. And then year two, we go after the grants. And then we pay

1153
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:19,520
for the grants in addition to the $50,000 to get the grants done, right? But I'm not exactly.

1154
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:25,360
So the way that it works, and just to, you know, go back to your point in the previous question,

1155
01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:30,720
raise about what are the deliverables? And what are the accounting, the accountability metrics,

1156
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:38,560
just to be clear, you will get reports on a monthly basis as it relates to the work that is occurring.

1157
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:45,040
So it's not that you're waiting until year two to go after a grant. You have that option on year one

1158
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:53,280
upfront. So what this does, what this having this structure enables us to build out some of the infrastructure

1159
01:44:53,280 --> 01:45:00,000
from a county perspective to position us to be able to do some of the follow-up items in year two and three.

1160
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:13,000
So, it may be helpful. We were prepared to be able to share screen, but there is a suite of deliverables that your county will get, as well as routine meetings with your team.

1161
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:19,000
And we're open to doing routine meeting whether it's quarterly, you report out to the board. We're open to do that as well.

1162
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:32,000
But there is a series of things that happen upon launch of the program, and there's routines that things that happen monthly in terms of the actual deliveries of the suite of services that you'll be getting on a month's basis.

1163
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:45,000
Okay, yeah, I guess I'm a little bit still question, questioning like how will at the end of the first year we know that this was successful. How do we, how do we measure that?

1164
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:49,000
Got it. I'll let Chris be Joe Beckham, I see her hand raised.

1165
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Yes, your hand's raised at there, sir.

1166
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Okay, I couldn't unmute earlier, sorry about that.

1167
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:11,000
So, to clarify all of our CGI clients that have entered into the strategic plan development, have applied for a great in the first year.

1168
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:20,000
So, I think there was a question in their supervisor on having to wait until the second year to apply for grants. We haven't had that experience.

1169
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:29,000
We launched with Del Nort County for example last year, so they are just finishing up there for a year one.

1170
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:34,000
Have applied for three grants and we're currently writing their fourth grant going into year two.

1171
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:40,000
So there is the potential to write grants in the first year, so I just wanted to make sure that that was understood.

1172
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:45,000
We're just doing it in a much more proactive as opposed to reactive nature.

1173
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:49,000
In terms of looking to see if at the end of the year,

1174
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:54,000
or any point in the process, if you're quote unquote successful,

1175
01:46:54,000 --> 01:47:02,000
we look at that as we evaluate how many projects that have been surfaced by county departments and by the board.

1176
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:07,000
Look at the rate of matching those projects to programs.

1177
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Looking to see how many are advancing in terms of prioritization and are starting to get ready for those grants and have identified the perfect match of programs to go after.

1178
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:27,000
So those are all metrics that we establish and look at as as Veronica said on a monthly basis and review with you.

1179
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:32,000
It can be different until in terms of how we report back to the Board of Supervisors,

1180
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:43,000
but we work with you to establish what you guys want to know and at what cadence and in what sort of delivery mechanism makes the most sense to you guys.

1181
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:47,000
I guess we'll do the chair just an add one question.

1182
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:51,000
So we've had a contract with the Ferguson group for a long time.

1183
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:55,000
How does this relate to that contract?

1184
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:02,000
I mean is there a discount for these services because we've had this contract or it doesn't relate at all.

1185
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:08,000
Because I know we've spoken directly for having you identified grants for us in the past.

1186
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,000
So I'm just curious.

1187
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:14,000
It's a little confusing for that.

1188
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:15,000
Sir.

1189
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:16,000
Sir.

1190
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:23,000
The connection to the TFG advocacy side and the grant services side and CSAC are a little bit different.

1191
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:27,000
The program that we have designed is specifically for CSAC.

1192
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:37,000
And so the products in the strategic plans and the packages of services are ones that the TFT grants division has work with CSAC.

1193
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:41,000
It's a best fit the needs of California counties.

1194
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Where you would be able to have that synergy between TFT's grant services through that you would get through CSAC.

1195
01:48:50,000 --> 01:49:01,000
And this services that you get through TFT's representation at the federal level is when you're looking at any sort of advocacy support for federal grants.

1196
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:12,000
So if you do it decide to pursue for a politically active grant program, then you would be able to work with your TFT advocate to advance that and support that.

1197
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:28,000
Or a lot of times regardless of whether or not TFT is the grant service provider or in the federal advocacy provider will do that in coordination with our count or with our clients federal advocates and state advocates as well.

1198
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:31,000
And in some cases where identify the holes.

1199
01:49:31,000 --> 01:49:34,000
So we'll identify that this is a great project.

1200
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:36,000
This is a huge priority for the county.

1201
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:40,000
There isn't a program that fits magically for it or fits perfectly for it.

1202
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:51,000
So we'll advise you to advise your advocacy teams that this state or federal levels to go change those parameters or change that program to make it easier.

1203
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:58,000
For the county to find those dollars and have them be more accessible to you.

1204
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:01,000
So you get a little bit of both worlds.

1205
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:06,000
But with a much more expansive and robust, great services through CSAC.

1206
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:07,000
Thank you.

1207
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,000
Thank you for that appreciate it.

1208
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:11,000
Do the chair.

1209
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:20,000
I'd like to I don't want to vote no on this, but I'd like to make a net motion to table it for further research and I don't know how you guys feel about this.

1210
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:23,000
I'd like to see their presentation that we couldn't see on the slideshow.

1211
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:26,000
I think there's some been really good information here.

1212
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:29,000
Like I said before, it's important that we go after grants.

1213
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:33,000
So I don't I don't want to vote no, but I want to do for the research personally.

1214
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:34,000
So I think the motion.

1215
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:35,000
Okay.

1216
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:36,000
No, I couldn't agree.

1217
01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:41,000
I just want to say, Christy, thank you very much for answering my phone calls last week and picking your brand on this.

1218
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,000
I really appreciate it.

1219
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:45,000
I couldn't agree more.

1220
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:49,000
Can we get a list of those counties you're currently working with so we can do our due diligence.

1221
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:53,000
For those in the public that are watching this meeting right now.

1222
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:59,000
Counties can spend anywhere between zero dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars applying for grants.

1223
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,000
That could get you nowhere.

1224
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:03,000
And that is grants in general.

1225
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:07,000
We've been harping on our CAO, you know, hey, you know,

1226
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,000
want kudos to our current staff members.

1227
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:15,000
It can do you to write grants, you know, we've our library museum sheriff's department so forth and roads.

1228
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,000
We've received a lot of grants.

1229
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:20,000
Like I said, there's a lot of other grants out there.

1230
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:22,000
And we've said, hey, we need someone.

1231
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:25,000
We need to get someone on retainer that we can, you know,

1232
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:29,000
every one of us have different districts and different people looking at us me particularly.

1233
01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:32,000
I reached out to Christy last week to talk about a grant.

1234
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,000
But I do agree with supervisor floors.

1235
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:39,000
I'd like to do a little more due diligence and talk with other counties so we can get that list.

1236
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,000
And we got a motion.

1237
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,000
And a second motion.

1238
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:45,000
Second, can we get a roll call please.

1239
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:46,000
Supervisor Boone.

1240
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:47,000
Hi.

1241
01:51:47,000 --> 01:51:48,000
Supervisor Flores.

1242
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:49,000
Hi.

1243
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:50,000
Supervisor Ziggumyer.

1244
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:51,000
Hi.

1245
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:52,000
Supervisor Bains.

1246
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:53,000
Hi.

1247
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:54,000
Supervisor Stephen.

1248
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:55,000
Hi.

1249
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:56,000
Thank you.

1250
01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:57,000
All right.

1251
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:00,000
Moving up to follow up announcements.

1252
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:01,000
Thank you.

1253
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Supervisors.

1254
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,000
She asked one moment.

1255
01:52:04,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Okay.

1256
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:08,000
So as mentioned earlier.

1257
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:11,000
On the 26th of.

1258
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:16,000
September at the east neck high school gym from 10 to one.

1259
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:19,000
There will be a preparedness fair put on by our.

1260
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,000
Office of emergency management.

1261
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:27,000
And this month on the 26th.

1262
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:34,000
The U.B. Center Economic Development Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce and the downtown business.

1263
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:38,000
Invited to attend the any anyone in the public.

1264
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:42,000
It will be at the vet's hall at 530 p.m.

1265
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,000
On August 26th.

1266
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:58,000
And there's four different sites that an urban design firm called Perkins Eastman has been working with the city and county on that includes 850 gray where that came out was.

1267
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:01,000
Some of the old courthouse area.

1268
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:05,000
And then two areas that the city separately has been working on.

1269
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:13,000
Close to plume a street and another area north of town for a possible athletic center.

1270
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:17,000
So we'd love to have people attend and have feedback on those.

1271
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:23,000
There will be four areas after presentation where people can go and give their ideas and feedback.

1272
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:27,000
And someone there kind of facilitating discussion of each of those.

1273
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:32,000
So look forward to some economic development discussions there.

1274
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:36,000
And then coming up and I'll mention this a future meetings.

1275
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:43,000
We have our second annual bounty of Sutter County event where we honor local businesses.

1276
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:44,000
October 2nd.

1277
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:47,000
We're nailing down the details.

1278
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,000
So just put a panel on that for now.

1279
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:52,000
I also wanted to mention.

1280
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:53,000
Let's see.

1281
01:53:53,000 --> 01:53:55,000
We have.

1282
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:59,000
Oh, for the bounty of Sutter County.

1283
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:02,000
You can nominate businesses until August 31st.

1284
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:07,000
So you go to Sutter County's Facebook page and you'll see where to do that.

1285
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:12,000
Also from August 8th through the 30th.

1286
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:18,000
Deities discounts and you the city is collecting donations 100% of which will be used for the.

1287
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:26,000
Sutter County children and families commission to purchase brand new books for local youth in need.

1288
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:31,000
So if anyone would like to participate and donate visit the store this month.

1289
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,000
At 700 West on stop for a new road.

1290
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:35,000
You, the city.

1291
01:54:35,000 --> 01:54:36,000
Thank you.

1292
01:54:36,000 --> 01:54:37,000
Thank you.

1293
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:38,000
All right.

1294
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,000
We'll go to district reports to start out over here.

1295
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,000
The heart of the city.

1296
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:42,000
Thank you.

1297
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:43,000
Yes.

1298
01:54:43,000 --> 01:54:44,000
In the heart of Sutter County.

1299
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:46,000
I have only one announcement.

1300
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:50,000
And that is the annual bruised blues and barbecue festival happen.

1301
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,000
At the fairgrounds in the second district.

1302
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:54,000
On August 29th.

1303
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,000
I guess we have another meeting prior to that.

1304
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:57,000
But August 29th.

1305
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:00,000
That's a great event put on by the early risers.

1306
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:01,000
Coaness.

1307
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:06,000
They raise thousands of dollars that they give away for scholarship funds for for youth.

1308
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,000
So I would like to invite everybody to attend.

1309
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:09,000
It's a lot of fun.

1310
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:10,000
Thank you.

1311
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:17,000
I think I've got as I'd like to wish all the students returning back to school.

1312
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:18,000
The great year.

1313
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,000
All the teachers to have a great year.

1314
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:21,000
And the parents.

1315
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:26,000
I hope school year is a good one for all.

1316
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:29,000
As you've been.

1317
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:31,000
Okay.

1318
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:32,000
All right.

1319
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Yeah.

1320
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:34,000
A couple of things.

1321
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,000
I want to bring to our attention.

1322
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Of course.

1323
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:38,000
A live of little league girl.

1324
01:55:38,000 --> 01:55:39,000
Softball.

1325
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:41,000
Just just just recently.

1326
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:44,000
Just came home recently.

1327
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:46,000
After attending the World Series.

1328
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:49,000
They didn't fair quite as far as we'd like to have gone.

1329
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:52,000
They dealt with a very first game.

1330
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:55,000
It was one of the number one teams.

1331
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:56,000
Number one seated team.

1332
01:55:56,000 --> 01:55:58,000
Which they didn't fair so well.

1333
01:55:58,000 --> 01:56:01,000
But the second team in Japan.

1334
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:02,000
Real close game.

1335
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:03,000
One zero.

1336
01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:04,000
Really proud of them.

1337
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:05,000
They made it back.

1338
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:06,000
You know.

1339
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:08,000
We're really proud of those girls.

1340
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:09,000
You know.

1341
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:10,000
First person.

1342
01:56:10,000 --> 01:56:11,000
First team.

1343
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:12,000
It's under county.

1344
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:13,000
To make it to the World Series.

1345
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:14,000
A little league.

1346
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:15,000
Secondly.

1347
01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:18,000
I wanted to bring up.

1348
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:19,000
As many of you know.

1349
01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:23,000
I had a back surgery here recently and I've been going through a couple of complications.

1350
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:25,000
But in between that time.

1351
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,000
Steve, Neil and I were.

1352
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:33,000
Were able to get together to meet with Department of Fish and Wildlife.

1353
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:38,000
To come up with a decision regarding the Sanders Road Bridge.

1354
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:41,000
And turned out that worked out pretty good.

1355
01:56:41,000 --> 01:56:43,000
We came up with a solution.

1356
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:44,000
And everybody's happy.

1357
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:46,000
And we're going to get started on that soon.

1358
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:47,000
Thank you.

1359
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:48,000
That was a big big thing.

1360
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:51,000
That's been six years in the making.

1361
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:53,000
And just turns out one meeting.

1362
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:54,000
And we got it figured out.

1363
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:56,000
So I'm really stoked about that.

1364
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Really happy.

1365
01:56:58,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Next I have.

1366
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:06,000
I want to also mention that on Township Road and Broadway.

1367
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:07,000
As well.

1368
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,000
They've been striped with new reflectors.

1369
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:10,000
Placeless.

1370
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:11,000
Great.

1371
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:12,000
Thank you.

1372
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:13,000
Neil.

1373
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:14,000
And then.

1374
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:16,000
We're currently under construction.

1375
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:18,000
So we're cleaning those out.

1376
01:57:18,000 --> 01:57:19,000
And then.

1377
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:21,000
Last but not least.

1378
01:57:21,000 --> 01:57:23,000
I want to bring up another big event.

1379
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:29,000
A big progress that happened in live oak.

1380
01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:34,000
The live oak elementary school and incidental schools has been named.

1381
01:57:34,000 --> 01:57:38,000
The avid national demonstration schools.

1382
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
Joining a lead group of campuses across the country.

1383
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:48,000
And actually, we want two positions out of the top 15 in the nation.

1384
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:50,000
So kudos to live oak.

1385
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,000
And I'd like to get a.

1386
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:56,000
A couple of plaques to the principles of.

1387
01:57:56,000 --> 01:57:57,000
Of.

1388
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:58,000
Of Lutheran.

1389
01:57:58,000 --> 01:57:59,000
And that's.

1390
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:00,000
Of.

1391
01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:01,000
Of.

1392
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:02,000
Of.

1393
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:03,000
Of.

1394
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:04,000
Of.

1395
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:05,000
Of.

1396
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:06,000
Of.

1397
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:07,000
Of.

1398
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:08,000
Of.

1399
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Of.

1400
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:10,000
Of.

1401
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:11,000
