[music]
Good morning and welcome to the uh February 3rd meeting of the Clary County
Supervisors. I believe yesterday Pucks the Hanny Phil saw his shadow, so we'll
be having six more weeks of fog, unfortunately. Well, I appreciate
everybody getting here safely in the fog. Uh we are going to start our
meeting this morning with the pledge of allegiance led by Supervisor Vanderpool
and then a moment of silence.
Please join me in saluting our nation's flag. Ready? Salute.
» I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic
for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.
Thank you. >> All right. Our first item this morning
is Supervisor Matters and I will start with Supervisor Mccari.
» Well, good morning everyone. Uh, you know, there's not a lot going on this
last week. Just a lot of constituent uh concerns and calls. We talked to them
and and got them connected. I want to thank staff, RMA, HHSA, everybody's been
great. Uh, GSA, you've been really good and great and thankful. We're thankful
for all you do. We really appreciate our county employees and you work so hard
and you're very diligent getting on that. I think the biggest thing that we
have is just some congratulations to Nick Nave. He was just recently uh this
week appointed to department of public safety director at the city of Lindsay.
Nick was with the Lindsay Police Department a long time and worked his
way up. So, congrats to him. And then our good friend Johnny Amarell is the
CEO of Front Water Authority. He just got that a couple days ago. It's good to
have someone local that knows our concerns in our areas in charge of such
a large facility with containing water to see what he can do to bring to us.
That's all I have.
» Town.
» All right. Good morning everyone. Uh uh last week had a ribbon cutting over in
Porterville with the Portville Chamber of Commerce um at a a new gym in town
called Anytime Fitness. So it's nice to have another uh another option over
there for uh for getting out and getting fit. Uh also we had our local agency
formation commission meeting right here. Um had a government affairs committee
also with Porterville Chamber. uh very productive meeting uh setting a lot of
the goals for what that committee wants to do in uh in up in this upcoming year.
And then I had a check-in with our HHSA group. Uh that's always a great
discussion with so much going on in the health and human services world. So it's
always very instructive for me. Uh this week um Thursday have an Eastern Tuli
Groundwater Sustainability Agency meeting at 2:00 over at Porterville City
Council Chambers. Uh on Friday at 7 o'clock there's a in the morning there's
a first Friday coffee and this month will be hosted by Vesper Energy uh solar

have to report. >> All right. Thank you, Supervisor Valero.
» Thank you, Chair. >> Well, good morning, Terary County. Um, I
want to thank Jennifer Fox along with department representatives for
participating in our Traver town hall last week. We had a very successful
attendance by the community with informative reports from HHSA, fire,
sheriff's, RMA, and animal services. I [clears throat] also attended the
California Rural Legal Assistance ribbon cutting. It was a it was a great event
um and the ability to learn about their programs and services and connect with
other agencies there to support this great organization. CRLA is a nonprofit
law firm founded in 1966 to provide free civil legal services to lowincome
residents of California's rural counties. On Saturday, we had over 20
volunteers help clean graffiti in Cutler Rosi. We started off the morning morning
morning with a powerful message on service and community and ended our day
with pizza to thank our volunteers for a great job beautifying Cutler Arosi. Last
night I had the opportunity to attend the Seroptimus Ruby Awards with uh our
chair Shucklean. This uh this night is always special for me as the
organization recognizes powerful, compassionate and courageous women who
have journeyed through life's difficulties but have mustered through
them. Parenting Network received the Making a Difference for the Community
Award, while our very own former well, our former Tillery County employees, now
COOS affiliated, uh, Courtney and Miriam Salam, received the Making a Difference
for Women Award. So, congratulations to all recipients who received awards last
night. I have the following meetings and activities this week. We have the Monson
Sultana Playground ribbon cutting ceremony along with our Taller County
Forest Alliance meeting. I have a Latino caucus of California counties meeting on

executive director of the Sanwaqen Joint Powers Authority. That is, um, the Joint

President's Day. So with that, thank you all for that. And our next item is a
very exciting item. We have a special guest here today, Willow. Willow walked
around a bit. Willow is a 2-year-old female shepherd with, as you can all
see, the sweetest soul. She's great with other dogs and absolutely enjoys
people's affections. Pet and praise are her love language. Mine, too. Um,
Willow loves heading out to the yard to play and explore, and when she's done,
she'll happily try to walk herself back to her kennel like the polite little
girl she is. Gentle, affectionate, and well-mannered, Willow is a truly sweet
girl who would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a
loyal and loving friend. Jessica, if you wanna you want to come up and um tell us
a little bit about the process and what's happening at animal service. Look
at that picture. >> Good morning, uh chair members, um CEO's
office, county council, thank you for inviting us, um to bring Willow here
today. Um she is a great dog, as everybody can see. She's been with us
since January 13th, and she's looking for her forever home. She's great with
other dogs. loves loves people. Um, as far as adoption, if anybody's interested
in adopting her, her adoption fee is only $25. She is up to date on all her
vaccines, microchipped, and is scheduled for her space surgery later this week.
Um, you are welcome to come into the shelter and meet with her. We can take
her out to the playyard. As well as if you have other dogs that you want to
introduce her to at the shelter to make sure they get along, we can do that as
well. >> Okay. Is she available like um to
foster? >> Yes. Yes, we can do foster. Uh how
adoption usually works with us is uh because we are limited on spay and
neuter um surgeries each week. She will go out on what we call foster to adopt.
So she will go out on foster, she will go home with a surgery date. You'll
bring her back for her surgery. Um and you'll pick her up the same day. When
you pick her up, the adoption will be finalized at that time.
» Okay. And how are things doing out at the
shelter? Was she a stray or >> She was a stray. Yes. Okay. Things are
good. Um we are getting ready to um actually we started our adoption
promotion yesterday. So for our Valentine's Day adoption promotion, uh
the adoption fee for dogs is $20. So in that case, Willow's adoption fee will
also be $20. >> That's great. 20 bucks. I'll tell you
what, if somebody adopts her here today, I'll pay the 20 bucks. All right. All
right. >> Thank you.
» Thank you so much. Appreciate all the work that that all of you do out at
animal services. Appreciate that. Let's hear it for Willow.
[applause]
Okay. Our next item is public comment. This is a time where members of the
public may comment on any item not appearing on the agenda. For those items
and public hearings, we will open it up for public comment. Is there anybody
here today that would like to speak for public comment? Madame Clark.
[clears throat] >> Yes. Tomas Magana.
» Good morning. >> Good morning.
» Good morning board. Um and everybody here. My name is Thomas Mugana. I'm an
SEIU local 2015 IHS provider here in Terary County. I've been a a provider um
since 2014. I became a provider to take care of my
parents who recently passed away. Um I recently got two new providers. Um two
more recipients that I take care of. I love the work I do. It's difficult at
times to make ends meet here in Terary County.
My clients live in one lives in Wood Lake, the other one lives in Hampford,
so I commute to from house to house. I know it's in two different communities.
I mean two different um areas, but I I love the work I do.
Um, everything is expensive here in Terary County. Groceries, housing, um,
raising cost of living, everything is hard to to keep up with.
We currently have over 8,000 providers here in Terary County and need the and
the need of care continues to grow every day. I go to I'm an organizer too and I
go and um and I in every orientation we have about
20 to 25 uh new providers that become um I just providers every Tuesday and and
Fridays. What will happen to the older adults and
those with disabilities who depend on the quality um of home care? It's
essential care that here in Tiller County, we are 8,000
strong.
We ask you board of supervisors to remember that providers have families,
too. We do our work out of love and at times it can be risky, but we keep we
keep um worrying about keeping our roof over our heads and food on our tables
each month. We need this community to show us that our work that we do is
valuable and paying us valuable wages by increasing in investing in care
because we do save the community a lot of money. Um the work we do is not easy.
It's it's very difficult and um we do do it out of love. Um if we didn't get paid
for it, we would still probably take care of the people we take care of.
my union siblings and I need your support to so that people
we need your support. So please work with us, be a care champion and pass a
strong contract to keep us um to keep our community safe. Thank you. Thank you
very much.
» Are there any more cards,
» Mr. Tucker?
Good morning. Uh good morning, chair, vice chair, supervisors,
CEO, council, clerk. Uh Tom Tucker, Clary County a commissioner. And uh this
turned out to be a a fantastic uh day to come and uh speak a little bit about our
detector dogs throughout California. Uh each of you have a a calendar and there
are some out in the lobby should anybody uh want one.
Just in short, California ad commissioners throughout the state uh
use these dogs in uh different areas, usually the postal centers, uh uh
international hubs, and they will inspect packages for any type of
invasive pests or uh plants, matter, anything that shouldn't be coming in in
that manner. And uh I just wanted to bring attention to it and uh keep in
everybody's mind that if they happen to have friends or family overseas or even
out of state that maybe want to ship them some fruit that you know maybe they
don't normally see or get or little tree cutings or whatever. Think twice about
it. and because they very often have pests and that's probably the number one
way in which these pests come into this country and this state for that matter.
So anyway with that uh if you have questions um
» appreciate that Tom we did get copies of it yesterday and I spent quite a bit of
time going through each month and I think everyone is a Labrador retriever.
Go figure. Um, but also you're right. I do watch
catches to catch a smuggler. So, um, there there are a lot of that happening.
Um, does I know we don't have a detection dog and I know uh CEO Britt is
probably looking at me funny right now, but do not saying we need one, but do we
have access like does the, you know, CDFA or or anybody have a dog that, you
know, we can use from time to time for this purpose?
» Uh, you know, we do. Uh the ad commissioner in Fresno County has been
very gracious over the years and when we get into a situation where we feel we
should have a a uh the ability to have a dog, you know, sweep some packages, uh
more than willing to allow us to use the dog or have the team come down and help
us out. >> That's great. Um, and like I mentioned,
it's usually in the international hubs, which Fresno's a bit of one, and and of
course our larger Orange counties and those,
» right? All right. Thank you very much. >> You're quite welcome. Thank you.
» All right. Do we have anybody else who would like to speak for public comment?
» All right. Not seeing anybody, I will move on to the consent calendar. Are
there any items to be pulled or corrected?
Matt. Okay. Oh, wait. Oh, yes. We have a >> items three 13 through 15 should be
removed for separate consideration, please.
» Okay. Items 13 through 15 will be removed for separate consideration. Are
there any? Um, so we have a motion then to approve the remainder of the calendar
by Supervisor Valero with a second by Supervisor Townsen. Please cast your
votes.
All right, motion passes 5. Now for items 13 through 15. Supervisor
Townsen. >> Yeah, I have a a recusal I need to read.
I have a potential financial conflict of interest under government code section
8710 100 regarding today's agenda items number 1314 and 15. our consideration of
a request from Tallery County Resource Management Agency to rescend agreements
32644 and 32645

» All right. See you see you in a bit.
Okay. So with that I will >> I would move for approval. Madam

Valero. Please cast your votes.

» All right, the public hearing is now open. We'll start with staff's
presentation and then take board uh questions and public testimony. Good

» Council and clerk. I am Aaron Bach, assistant director with the resource
management agency. And before you today is tenative subdivision tract map
TSM25-00004.
And this is the applicants are Dorothy and Elwood Grizzle. And they are in the
audience if we have any questions for them later.
Uh the subject property is outside of any urban area boundaries or urban or
hamlet development boundary but is subject to the foothill growth
management plan with the land use designation of development corridor. The
proposed development is located 1,400 ft west of the intersection of road 276 and
avenue 176 souththeast of Strathmore and approximately 3 miles north of the city
of Porterville.
Uh since it's not located entirely within an UDB or UAB, the planning
commission is only advisory and the board takes final action on all these
matters. The property is zoned PDFM and contains two car ports, two wells, and
power poles. Currently, surrounding properties are all zoned PDFM and
contain subdivided parcels consistent with the proposed subdivision and
contain rural residences.
In regards to our code and how this is applied to this subdivision, access
wise, a private road serving parcel ones through eight of this subdivision is
required to be constructed to a class one county road standard as defined in
the improvement standards of Tery County. It's also consistent with the
private streets requirements, our general requirements for lots, size,
shape, uh including those in mountainous areas. Um it will include drainage. It
will have fire protection, sewage disposal, domestic water and is in the
plan foothill zone which has additional requirements as well.
Uh notice uh was prepared and given out and mailed to surrounding property
owners and published in the exit sun gazette with a 10-day public comment
period before today's supervisor's meeting and no comments were received.
And that completes staff's presentation. If you have any questions for myself or
the applicants, they are here as well. >> Okay. Do we have any questions from the
board for staff? Okay. So, at this time, um I will take
public testimony from anyone in the audience who wishes to speak. Each
person will have three minutes. I see people standing up back there. If you
want to come, if you want to, did you want to speak, folks? Okay.
All right. So, seeing nobody, then we will um move on. Madame clerk, do we
have any emails from the public? >> We do not.
» Okay. So, there being no more public testimony, I'll close the public
testimony portion and bring the matter back to the board for discussion or
action. This is also um scheduled for close
session. Do any board members need feel a need for close session?
All right. So, we have a motion to approve by
Supervisor Valero. And my screen dis Oh, Supervisor Towns and second that. So,
cast your votes. Motion passes 5. >> Thank you.
» Thank you, Mr. Bach. All right. Our next item, item five.
» Madam Chair, can we close that public hearing?
» Oh, yeah. Closed. Public hearing is closed.
All right. Item five is a public hearing to consider proceeding to form Gan
Village East Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District number one. The
public hearing is now open
and we will hear staff's presentation. Good morning.
» Good morning uh chair, supervisors, CEO, council, and
clerk. I'm Rob Abraham, the county surveyor, and I'm going to present on
behalf of the Ter County Resource Management Agency for the Gan Village
East Landscaping Lighting District, which will include this public hearing
and a vote uh by mail.
So just to kind of outline the general process here, we the actions that kind
of preceded this public hearing was the board reinitiated the proceedings on
December 16th, 2025 by resolution 2025 uh 1128. It was reinitiated. Our initial
proceedings were had to be reinitiated because there was a tabulation error or
there's an error in the ballots that were sent out. So we had to resend out
the ballots with the correct assessed amounts.
Um but as part of the uh proceeding initiating proceedings we the board
approved the engineering report the proposed boundary approved the notice
letter and ballots that were sent out declared the intent to levy and set this
public hearing. Staff then published posted and mailed
out notices of this public hearing in accordance with law. Um staff mailed
ballots to each lot owner of record based on the assessment roles uh within
the subdivision of track number 835 benefiting from the district on November
December 18th which is greater than 45 days before this hearing which is the
requirement under the law.
All right. So today we're going to have um kind of the process. Today is the
staff presentations, public comment, supervisor question and comments. Um
owners may submit any outstanding ballots. If any if anyone is hasn't
mailed them in, they may submit them by the end of the public hearing. Um and
then afterwards and we will tabulate the ballots at the end of the meeting.
So just a little background on the track. This is subdivision track number
835. It's located between Rian Avenue and Avenue 310 west of road 76 in the
community of Gan. It was originally a 35 acre lot that was divided. Um includes
included is streets improvement, storm water collection, park and landscaping.
The road the streets and storm water collections already have assessment
districts formed on them.
Uh this was broken up into four four primary phases.
Phase one was the multif family uh apartment complexes. Phase two and three
was the residential single family residential a lot includes the pocket
park that is part of this district and those are currently under construction.
Phase five was the multifamily uh salt and light neighborhood village
development. um mobile home park on the um that was
previously developed and pretty much fully built out.
Um as this pro this project and this site is still under development, the
assessments are going to be broken into two phases. Basically phase A is the
stuff that is currently constructed or under construction and anticipated to be
um completed by the time the any assessments actually are levied.
Uh this will include um landscaping along the frontage of
Avenue 312 between the sidewalk and the curb on road 76 between the sidewalk and
the curb. And then on Avenue 310 fronting the residential including three
landscape lots and the parkway lots and additionally the parkway lot on fronting
the uh mobile home park.
All right. Um phase B will be constructed at a later date as that
those lots are developed. Um which will consist of parkway improvements on
Avenue 312 and Road 76. Um let's see what the improvements and
services will consist of in this district will be landscaping primarily
tree shrub bush and vine maintenance weed management and abatement mowing of
turf in the pocket park um infrastructure and maintenance
graffiti abatement sidewalk ADA hardscape repairs um all the
improvements are not funded under the district as far as their construction
only their maintenance ments and services. Um also the maintenance of the
irrigation system, any pest control, uh util including and utility and
administrative costs for water, electricity and then the cost of and
the administrative cost with running the district.
Uh the engineering report breaks down the cost into the two
phases. what's being approved today, if
approved, will be the total here. But phase A is $24,380
a year. Um phase B is $3,120 with the total being 27500 $27,500.
As mentioned, the phase B costs will be assessed after these improvements are
done. um they will be a new annual report be brought to the board when
those are done to show they're done and then we can start loving those when
those improvements are built out. Um the table at the bottom right is just a
breakdown of the various [snorts] service areas and the
associated costs. Um this district will be formed with an
assessment adjustment so that the prices the cost can be increased and to
compensate for inflation. Um the formula basically used it's going to be the
consumer price index 5% but not more than the actual cost of maintaining the
district.
Uh the basis for calculating how much each lot will be assessed
is based on the equivalent dwelling unit which is used as a single family home as
a baseline. Each each land use is assigned a ED effect
proportion to how many people occupy or use it. So for instance single family
home is considered to have 2.9 people and apartments have fewer. So they get
assessed less per unit. Um and similar with mobile home parks commercial it's a
little harder to judge but we do it on an acreage basis depending on what the
use and 9.3 is kind of a standard for un for mixed use. So there's a basic
calculation if you have two acres 9.3 and then by the total assessment divided
by the total um number of edus or equivalent dwelling
units you get a assessed value for that amount of acres.
So when it comes to ballot tabulation each vote will be tabulated that is
received as either yes or no. Ballots are weighted according to the property
owner's proportional financial obligation, which in this case is the
proposed assessed dollar amount. Uh, tabulation shall occur in a location
accessible to the public and by an impartial person designated by the
agency. In this cl was the clerk of the clerk of the board. The assessment
district will be will not be created if a majority protest exists. Uh for the
purpose of this majority protest exists if the number of ballots submitted in
opposition exceed the ballots submitted in favor of the assessments.
So the requests upon uh tabulation option A if the yes votes exceed the no
votes then it requested that the approve the engineers report approve the
assessment di diagram declare the board of supervisor intent to levy and collect
assessments direct the clerk of the board to record the notice of assessment
with the clerk recorder approve the formation of the assessment district and
imposition of assessments approve the odd 308 form estab Establishing a budget
for assessment district. This requires a four-fifth vote.
Or option B, if the no votes exceed the yes votes, then the Goan Village
uh land Landscaping Lightning Assessment District number one is not formed.
Uh thank you. And just as a reminder, if anyone has any outstanding ballots, they
can be submitted before the end of the meeting. So,
» okay. Do any members of the board have any questions?
So, I have I have a question. So if the nos exceed the yes, it's not formed. So
all these things listed, none of that happens.
» Uh correct. Yes. It's not proportional. It's right all or nothing.
» Just want to get that out there. Okay. Um so no questions at this time. We will
take public testimony from anyone in the audience who wishes to speak. Each
person will have three minutes to speak. In addition, uh all completed ballots
must be received by the clerk by the end of testim public testimony. Any ballot
received after the end of public testimony portion of this hearing will
not be considered during the tabulation of the assessment ballots. Do we have
anybody here that would like to speak for public comment on this item?
Okay, I see none. Madame clerk, do we have any emails from members of the
public? >> We do not.
» Okay, so there is um no public testimony. I will now give interested
parties one final opportunities to submit any outstanding ballots.
Not seeing anyone coming forward, I will now close the public testimony portion
of the hearing and request that the clerk tabulate all ballots received on
this matter. So at this time, typically we would uh go into close session, but
we already uh completed that. Have you tabulated already?
» I have not, ma'am. Yeah, I can I will do that right now.
» So, uh we will take a recess until the votes are tabulated. Thank you.
Oops. Come on.
Okay. Thank you uh for your patience, everybody. Madame clerk, could you
please share the results of the tabulation?
» Thank you, chair. The ballots for this matter have been weighted according to
the proportional financial obligation of the parcels in accordance with law.
Based on this waiting, the tabulation of of the ballots as follow 100% voting
yes. As such, the ballots in favor of the assessment exceed the ballots in
opposition. The assessment district may be formed and the assessment may be
imposed. >> Thank you. Okay. I will now uh bring the
matter back to the board for discussion and action. Do any of the board members
have questions for staff at this time or wish to make uh take more time to
review? Okay, seeing none, I um this matter is
also on the board's close session agenda. Do we need a close session on
this item? Okay. So, uh it seems like I already
have a motion by Supervisor Valero with a second by Supervisor Townsen. Please
cast your votes.
Motion passes 50. That concludes uh agenda item five and
the public hearing is now closed. All right.
Uh with that um madame council I think we've completed our close session items
for today. >> Correct. There's no further need for
