[0:28] [music]
[0:59] Good morning and welcome to the uh
February 3rd meeting of the Clary County
[1:05] Supervisors. I believe yesterday Pucks
the Hanny Phil saw his shadow, so we'll
[1:11] be having six more weeks of fog,
unfortunately. Well, I appreciate
[1:15] everybody getting here safely in the
fog. Uh we are going to start our
[1:19] meeting this morning with the pledge of
allegiance led by Supervisor Vanderpool
[1:23] and then a moment of silence.
[1:28] Please join me in saluting our nation's
flag. Ready? Salute.
[1:32] » I aliance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic
[1:38] for which it stands. One nation under
God, indivisible, with liberty and
[1:44] justice for all.
[1:58] Thank you.
>> All right. Our first item this morning
[2:02] is Supervisor Matters and I will start
with Supervisor Mccari.
[2:09] » Well, good morning everyone. Uh, you
know, there's not a lot going on this
[2:12] last week. Just a lot of constituent uh
concerns and calls. We talked to them
[2:16] and and got them connected. I want to
thank staff, RMA, HHSA, everybody's been
[2:20] great. Uh, GSA, you've been really good
and great and thankful. We're thankful
[2:25] for all you do. We really appreciate our
county employees and you work so hard
[2:29] and you're very diligent getting on
that. I think the biggest thing that we
[2:32] have is just some congratulations to
Nick Nave. He was just recently uh this
[2:36] week appointed to department of public
safety director at the city of Lindsay.
[2:41] Nick was with the Lindsay Police
Department a long time and worked his
[2:43] way up. So, congrats to him. And then
our good friend Johnny Amarell is the
[2:47] CEO of Front Water Authority. He just
got that a couple days ago. It's good to
[2:51] have someone local that knows our
concerns in our areas in charge of such
[2:55] a large facility with containing water
to see what he can do to bring to us.
[2:59] That's all I have.
[3:03] » Town.
[3:06] » All right. Good morning everyone. Uh uh
last week had a ribbon cutting over in
[3:12] Porterville with the Portville Chamber
of Commerce um at a a new gym in town
[3:17] called Anytime Fitness. So it's nice to
have another uh another option over
[3:22] there for uh for getting out and getting
fit. Uh also we had our local agency
[3:28] formation commission meeting right here.
Um had a government affairs committee
[3:32] also with Porterville Chamber. uh very
productive meeting uh setting a lot of
[3:36] the goals for what that committee wants
to do in uh in up in this upcoming year.
[3:43] And then I had a check-in with our HHSA
group. Uh that's always a great
[3:47] discussion with so much going on in the
health and human services world. So it's
[3:53] always very instructive for me. Uh this
week um Thursday have an Eastern Tuli
[3:58] Groundwater Sustainability Agency
meeting at 2:00 over at Porterville City
[4:03] Council Chambers. Uh on Friday at 7
o'clock there's a in the morning there's

will be hosted by Vesper Energy uh solar
[4:14] outfit and uh and then this uh the next
week coming up we'll have the opening
[4:18] ceremony at the Agra Center uh for the
international a show and so always look
[4:23] forward uh to that and because of that
we push our meeting here into the
[4:28] evening so it'll be right here at six
o'clock on next Tuesday and that's all I
[4:32] have to report.
>> All right. Thank you, Supervisor Valero.
[4:37] » Thank you, Chair.
>> Well, good morning, Terary County. Um, I
[4:41] want to thank Jennifer Fox along with
department representatives for
[4:45] participating in our Traver town hall
last week. We had a very successful
[4:49] attendance by the community with
informative reports from HHSA, fire,
[4:54] sheriff's, RMA, and animal services. I
[clears throat] also attended the
[4:59] California Rural Legal Assistance ribbon
cutting. It was a it was a great event
[5:04] um and the ability to learn about their
programs and services and connect with
[5:08] other agencies there to support this
great organization. CRLA is a nonprofit
[5:13] law firm founded in 1966 to provide free
civil legal services to lowincome
[5:20] residents of California's rural
counties. On Saturday, we had over 20
[5:24] volunteers help clean graffiti in Cutler
Rosi. We started off the morning morning
[5:29] morning with a powerful message on
service and community and ended our day
[5:33] with pizza to thank our volunteers for a
great job beautifying Cutler Arosi. Last
[5:38] night I had the opportunity to attend
the Seroptimus Ruby Awards with uh our
[5:42] chair Shucklean. This uh this night is
always special for me as the
[5:47] organization recognizes powerful,
compassionate and courageous women who
[5:52] have journeyed through life's
difficulties but have mustered through
[5:55] them. Parenting Network received the
Making a Difference for the Community
[5:58] Award, while our very own former well,
our former Tillery County employees, now
[6:04] COOS affiliated, uh, Courtney and Miriam
Salam, received the Making a Difference
[6:09] for Women Award. So, congratulations to
all recipients who received awards last
[6:14] night. I have the following meetings and
activities this week. We have the Monson
[6:18] Sultana Playground ribbon cutting
ceremony along with our Taller County
[6:22] Forest Alliance meeting. I have a Latino
caucus of California counties meeting on
[6:27] Thursday and then I will be attending
the 65th annual Woodlake Awards along
[6:31] with the Proteus Gala and then a Badger
ribbon cutting on Saturday for its new
[6:36] senior fitness center. And that is all I
have chair.
[6:39] » Thank you, Supervisor. Supervisor

[7:47] various a industries and our very own uh
grower county tourism will be there with
[7:53] their booth. Um and there are over
100,000 attendees throughout the week.
[7:59] So, it's a a very significant uh uh
event for this county, this valley. Uh

all the way up to Fresno and down to
[8:08] Bakersfield to accommodate our guests.
Um and one more thing I wanted to
[8:12] mention. Uh, go Patriots. Okay.
>> Definitely not a Patriots fan. Not a
[8:19] Seahawks fan at all.
>> That's good.
[8:21] » Yeah. All right. Um, thank you,
Supervisor. A couple things uh from last
[8:26] week. Uh, Supervisor Valero and I
actually had a meeting with the new um
[8:30] executive director of the Sanwaqen Joint
Powers Authority. That is, um, the Joint
[8:36] Powers Authority is the administrator
for the Amtrak. uh used to be called the
[8:41] Sanwa Keen, now the Goldrunner. Uh so
that was a good meeting to meet him. And
[8:46] then also, as Supervisor Valero said, I
attended the Ruby Awards last night. Um
[8:52] this afternoon there is a mental health
board meeting. Then I will be traveling
[8:55] to Fresno. Um I was invited to the
Fresno Chamber of Commerce's first LGBTQ
[9:01] mixer up there. Tomorrow I will be
attending a ribbon cutting for Nirvana
[9:07] Wellness Center here in Vicelia.
[9:12] And then also, as was already mentioned,
next week is the A Expo. We will be
[9:17] having a night meeting here in these
chambers at 6:00. I will then be heading
[9:22] um to Sacramento on Wednesday uh for the
SEESAC Challenge Awards. And on
[9:28] Thursday, I have my SESAC uh board of
directors meeting which I sit on
[9:32] representing this board. And then we
will be dark the following week uh for
[9:37] President's Day. So with that, thank you
all for that. And our next item is a
[9:43] very exciting item. We have a special
guest here today, Willow. Willow walked
[9:49] around a bit. Willow is a 2-year-old
female shepherd with, as you can all
[9:54] see, the sweetest soul. She's great with
other dogs and absolutely enjoys
[9:58] people's affections. Pet and praise are
her love language. Mine, too. Um,
[10:05] Willow loves heading out to the yard to
play and explore, and when she's done,
[10:10] she'll happily try to walk herself back
to her kennel like the polite little
[10:14] girl she is. Gentle, affectionate, and
well-mannered, Willow is a truly sweet
[10:19] girl who would make a wonderful
companion for someone looking for a
[10:23] loyal and loving friend. Jessica, if you
wanna you want to come up and um tell us
[10:28] a little bit about the process and
what's happening at animal service. Look
[10:32] at that picture.
>> Good morning, uh chair members, um CEO's
[10:39] office, county council, thank you for
inviting us, um to bring Willow here
[10:43] today. Um she is a great dog, as
everybody can see. She's been with us
[10:48] since January 13th, and she's looking
for her forever home. She's great with
[10:53] other dogs. loves loves people. Um, as
far as adoption, if anybody's interested
[10:59] in adopting her, her adoption fee is
only $25. She is up to date on all her
[11:04] vaccines, microchipped, and is scheduled
for her space surgery later this week.
[11:09] Um, you are welcome to come into the
shelter and meet with her. We can take
[11:13] her out to the playyard. As well as if
you have other dogs that you want to
[11:17] introduce her to at the shelter to make
sure they get along, we can do that as
[11:21] well.
>> Okay. Is she available like um to
[11:24] foster?
>> Yes. Yes, we can do foster. Uh how
[11:28] adoption usually works with us is uh
because we are limited on spay and
[11:33] neuter um surgeries each week. She will
go out on what we call foster to adopt.
[11:39] So she will go out on foster, she will
go home with a surgery date. You'll
[11:44] bring her back for her surgery. Um and
you'll pick her up the same day. When
[11:48] you pick her up, the adoption will be
finalized at that time.
[11:51] » Okay.
And how are things doing out at the
[11:54] shelter? Was she a stray or
>> She was a stray. Yes. Okay. Things are
[11:58] good. Um we are getting ready to um
actually we started our adoption
[12:04] promotion yesterday. So for our
Valentine's Day adoption promotion, uh
[12:10] the adoption fee for dogs is $20. So in
that case, Willow's adoption fee will
[12:14] also be $20.
>> That's great. 20 bucks. I'll tell you
[12:18] what, if somebody adopts her here today,
I'll pay the 20 bucks. All right. All
[12:22] right.
>> Thank you.
[12:23] » Thank you so much. Appreciate all the
work that that all of you do out at
[12:27] animal services. Appreciate that. Let's
hear it for Willow.
[12:33] [applause]
[12:35] Okay. Our next item is public comment.
This is a time where members of the
[12:39] public may comment on any item not
appearing on the agenda. For those items
[12:44] and public hearings, we will open it up
for public comment. Is there anybody
[12:48] here today that would like to speak for
public comment? Madame Clark.
[12:52] [clears throat]
>> Yes. Tomas Magana.
[12:58] » Good morning.
>> Good morning.
[13:02] » Good morning board. Um and everybody
here. My name is Thomas Mugana. I'm an
[13:07] SEIU local 2015 IHS provider here in
Terary County. I've been a a provider um
[13:13] since 2014.
I became a provider to take care of my
[13:16] parents who recently passed away. Um I
recently got two new providers. Um two
[13:23] more recipients that I take care of. I
love the work I do. It's difficult at
[13:28] times to make ends meet here in Terary
County.
[13:31] My clients live in one lives in Wood
Lake, the other one lives in Hampford,
[13:35] so I commute to from house to house. I
know it's in two different communities.
[13:38] I mean two different um areas, but I I
love the work I do.
[13:43] Um, everything is expensive here in
Terary County. Groceries, housing, um,
[13:49] raising cost of living, everything is
hard to to keep up with.
[13:54] We currently have over 8,000 providers
here in Terary County and need the and
[13:59] the need of care continues to grow every
day. I go to I'm an organizer too and I
[14:05] go and um and I in every orientation we
have about
[14:10] 20 to 25 uh new providers that become um
I just providers every Tuesday and and
[14:15] Fridays.
What will happen to the older adults and
[14:21] those with disabilities who depend on
the quality um of home care? It's
[14:25] essential care that
here in Tiller County, we are 8,000
[14:31] strong.
[14:34] We ask you board of supervisors to
remember that providers have families,
[14:38] too. We do our work out of love and at
times it can be risky, but we keep we
[14:45] keep um worrying about keeping our roof
over our heads and food on our tables
[14:50] each month. We need this community to
show us that our work that we do is
[14:54] valuable and paying us valuable wages by
increasing in investing in care
[15:02] because we do save the community a lot
of money. Um the work we do is not easy.
[15:08] It's it's very difficult and um we do do
it out of love. Um if we didn't get paid
[15:14] for it, we would still probably take
care of the people we take care of.
[15:18] my union siblings and I need your
support to so that people
[15:25] we need your support. So please work
with us, be a care champion and pass a
[15:29] strong contract to keep us um to keep
our community safe. Thank you. Thank you
[15:34] very much.
[15:40] » Are there any more cards,
[15:44] » Mr. Tucker?
[15:48] Good morning. Uh good morning, chair,
vice chair, supervisors,
[15:53] CEO, council, clerk. Uh Tom Tucker,
Clary County a commissioner. And uh this
[16:00] turned out to be a a fantastic uh day to
come and uh speak a little bit about our
[16:06] detector dogs throughout California. Uh
each of you have a a calendar and there
[16:13] are some out in the lobby should anybody
uh want one.
[16:18] Just in short, California ad
commissioners throughout the state uh
[16:22] use these dogs in uh different areas,
usually the postal centers, uh uh
[16:28] international hubs, and they will
inspect packages for any type of
[16:34] invasive pests or uh plants, matter,
anything that shouldn't be coming in in
[16:40] that manner. And uh I just wanted to
bring attention to it and uh keep in
[16:47] everybody's mind that if they happen to
have friends or family overseas or even
[16:52] out of state that maybe want to ship
them some fruit that you know maybe they
[16:57] don't normally see or get or little tree
cutings or whatever. Think twice about
[17:03] it. and because they very often have
pests and that's probably the number one
[17:09] way in which these pests come into this
country and this state for that matter.
[17:14] So anyway with that uh if you have
questions um
[17:18] » appreciate that Tom we did get copies of
it yesterday and I spent quite a bit of
[17:22] time going through each month and I
think everyone is a Labrador retriever.
[17:27] Go figure. Um,
but also you're right. I do watch
[17:32] catches to catch a smuggler. So, um,
there there are a lot of that happening.
[17:36] Um, does I know we don't have a
detection dog and I know uh CEO Britt is
[17:43] probably looking at me funny right now,
but do not saying we need one, but do we
[17:48] have access like does the, you know,
CDFA or or anybody have a dog that, you
[17:54] know, we can use from time to time for
this purpose?
[17:58] » Uh, you know, we do. Uh the ad
commissioner in Fresno County has been
[18:03] very gracious over the years and when we
get into a situation where we feel we
[18:08] should have a a uh the ability to have a
dog, you know, sweep some packages, uh
[18:16] more than willing to allow us to use the
dog or have the team come down and help
[18:22] us out.
>> That's great. Um, and like I mentioned,
[18:25] it's usually in the international hubs,
which Fresno's a bit of one, and and of
[18:29] course our larger Orange counties and
those,
[18:32] » right? All right. Thank you very much.
>> You're quite welcome. Thank you.
[18:37] » All right. Do we have anybody else who
would like to speak for public comment?
[18:43] » All right. Not seeing anybody, I will
move on to the consent calendar. Are
[18:48] there any items to be pulled or
corrected?
[18:54] Matt. Okay. Oh, wait. Oh, yes. We have a
>> items three 13 through 15 should be
[19:01] removed for separate consideration,
please.
[19:04] » Okay. Items 13 through 15 will be
removed for separate consideration. Are
[19:08] there any? Um, so we have a motion then
to approve the remainder of the calendar
[19:14] by Supervisor Valero with a second by
Supervisor Townsen. Please cast your
[19:18] votes.
[19:24] All right, motion passes 5.
Now for items 13 through 15. Supervisor
[19:30] Townsen.
>> Yeah, I have a a recusal I need to read.
[19:34] I have a potential financial conflict of
interest under government code section
[19:39] 8710 100 regarding today's agenda items
number 1314 and 15. our consideration of

[42:17] presentation and then take board uh
questions and public testimony. Good
[42:22] morning.
[42:26] » Council and clerk. I am Aaron Bach,
assistant director with the resource
[42:29] management agency. And before you today
is tenative subdivision tract map
[42:34] TSM25-00004.
[42:37] And this is the applicants are Dorothy
and Elwood Grizzle. And they are in the
[42:41] audience if we have any questions for
them later.
[42:46] Uh the subject property is outside of
any urban area boundaries or urban or
[42:50] hamlet development boundary but is
subject to the foothill growth
[42:53] management plan with the land use
designation of development corridor. The
[42:57] proposed development is located 1,400 ft
west of the intersection of road 276 and
[43:02] avenue 176 souththeast of Strathmore and
approximately 3 miles north of the city
[43:08] of Porterville.
[43:11] Uh since it's not located entirely
within an UDB or UAB, the planning
[43:16] commission is only advisory and the
board takes final action on all these
[43:21] matters. The property is zoned PDFM and
contains two car ports, two wells, and
[43:27] power poles. Currently, surrounding
properties are all zoned PDFM and
[43:31] contain subdivided parcels consistent
with the proposed subdivision and
[43:35] contain rural residences.
[43:40] In regards to our code and how this is
applied to this subdivision, access
[43:46] wise, a private road serving parcel ones
through eight of this subdivision is
[43:51] required to be constructed to a class
one county road standard as defined in
[43:55] the improvement standards of Tery
County. It's also consistent with the
[43:59] private streets requirements, our
general requirements for lots, size,
[44:03] shape, uh including those in mountainous
areas. Um it will include drainage. It
[44:10] will have fire protection, sewage
disposal, domestic water and is in the
[44:15] plan foothill zone which has additional
requirements as well.
[44:22] Uh notice uh was prepared and given out
and mailed to surrounding property
[44:27] owners and published in the exit sun
gazette with a 10-day public comment
[44:31] period before today's supervisor's
meeting and no comments were received.
[44:37] And that completes staff's presentation.
If you have any questions for myself or
[44:42] the applicants, they are here as well.
>> Okay. Do we have any questions from the
[44:46] board for staff?
Okay. So, at this time, um I will take
[44:52] public testimony from anyone in the
audience who wishes to speak. Each
[44:56] person will have three minutes. I see
people standing up back there. If you
[45:00] want to come, if you want to, did you
want to speak, folks? Okay.
[45:06] All right. So, seeing nobody, then we
will um move on. Madame clerk, do we
[45:13] have any emails from the public?
>> We do not.
[45:16] » Okay. So, there being no more public
testimony, I'll close the public
[45:21] testimony portion and bring the matter
back to the board for discussion or
[45:26] action.
This is also um scheduled for close
[45:30] session. Do any board members need feel
a need for close session?
[45:36] All right.
So, we have a motion to approve by
[45:41] Supervisor Valero. And my screen dis Oh,
Supervisor Towns and second that. So,
[45:48] cast your votes. Motion passes 5.
>> Thank you.
[45:52] » Thank you, Mr. Bach. All right. Our next
item, item five.
[45:57] » Madam Chair, can we close that public
hearing?
[45:59] » Oh, yeah. Closed. Public hearing is
closed.
[46:05] All right. Item five is a public hearing
to consider proceeding to form Gan
[46:10] Village East Landscaping and Lighting
Assessment District number one. The
[46:14] public hearing is now open
[46:19] and we will hear staff's presentation.
Good morning.
[46:23] » Good morning
uh chair, supervisors, CEO, council, and
[46:28] clerk. I'm Rob Abraham, the county
surveyor, and I'm going to present on
[46:33] behalf of the Ter County Resource
Management Agency for the Gan Village
[46:37] East Landscaping Lighting District,
which will include this public hearing
[46:41] and a vote uh by mail.
[46:48] So just to kind of outline the general
process here, we the actions that kind
[46:52] of preceded this public hearing was the
board reinitiated the proceedings on
[46:57] December 16th, 2025 by resolution 2025
uh 1128. It was reinitiated. Our initial
[47:06] proceedings were had to be reinitiated
because there was a tabulation error or
[47:12] there's an error in the ballots that
were sent out. So we had to resend out
[47:16] the ballots with the correct assessed
amounts.
[47:19] Um but as part of the uh proceeding
initiating proceedings we the board
[47:27] approved the engineering report the
proposed boundary approved the notice
[47:31] letter and ballots that were sent out
declared the intent to levy and set this
[47:36] public hearing.
Staff then published posted and mailed
[47:40] out notices of this public hearing in
accordance with law. Um staff mailed
[47:45] ballots to each lot owner of record
based on the assessment roles uh within
[47:51] the subdivision of track number 835
benefiting from the district on November
[47:57] December 18th which is greater than 45
days before this hearing which is the
[48:03] requirement under the law.
[48:08] All right. So today we're going to have
um kind of the process. Today is the
[48:13] staff presentations, public comment,
supervisor question and comments. Um
[48:17] owners may submit any outstanding
ballots. If any if anyone is hasn't
[48:21] mailed them in, they may submit them by
the end of the public hearing. Um and
[48:26] then afterwards and we will tabulate the
ballots at the end of the meeting.
[48:34] So just a little background on the
track. This is subdivision track number
[48:38] 835. It's located between Rian Avenue
and Avenue 310 west of road 76 in the
[48:45] community of Gan. It was originally a 35
acre lot that was divided. Um includes
[48:52] included is streets improvement, storm
water collection, park and landscaping.
[48:57] The road the streets and storm water
collections already have assessment
[49:00] districts formed on them.
[49:05] Uh this was broken up into four four
primary phases.
[49:10] Phase one was the multif family uh
apartment complexes. Phase two and three
[49:15] was the residential single family
residential a lot includes the pocket
[49:20] park that is part of this district and
those are currently under construction.
[49:26] Phase five was the multifamily
uh salt and light neighborhood village
[49:31] development.
um mobile home park on the um that was
[49:36] previously developed and pretty much
fully built out.
[49:42] Um as this pro this project and this
site is still under development, the
[49:47] assessments are going to be broken into
two phases. Basically phase A is the
[49:52] stuff that is currently constructed or
under construction and anticipated to be
[49:58] um completed by the time the any
assessments actually are levied.
[50:05] Uh this will include
um landscaping along the frontage of
[50:12] Avenue 312 between the sidewalk and the
curb on road 76 between the sidewalk and
[50:19] the curb. And then on Avenue 310
fronting the residential including three
[50:25] landscape lots and the parkway lots and
additionally the parkway lot on fronting
[50:32] the uh mobile home park.
[50:38] All right. Um phase B will be
constructed at a later date as that
[50:44] those lots are developed. Um which will
consist of parkway improvements on
[50:48] Avenue 312 and Road 76.
Um let's see what the improvements and
[50:56] services will consist of in this
district will be landscaping primarily
[51:01] tree shrub bush and vine maintenance
weed management and abatement mowing of
[51:07] turf in the pocket park
um infrastructure and maintenance
[51:12] graffiti abatement sidewalk ADA
hardscape repairs um all the
[51:16] improvements are not funded under the
district as far as their construction
[51:20] only their maintenance ments and
services. Um also the maintenance of the
[51:25] irrigation system, any pest control, uh
util including and utility and
[51:30] administrative costs for water,
electricity and then the cost of and
[51:35] the administrative cost with running the
district.
[51:41] Uh the engineering
report breaks down the cost into the two
[51:45] phases.
what's being approved today, if
[51:49] approved, will be the total here.
But phase A is $24,380
[51:56] a year. Um phase B is $3,120
with the total being 27500 $27,500.
[52:06] As mentioned, the phase B costs will be
assessed after these improvements are
[52:10] done. um they will be a new annual
report be brought to the board when
[52:16] those are done to show they're done and
then we can start loving those when
[52:20] those improvements are built out. Um the
table at the bottom right is just a
[52:25] breakdown of the various
[snorts] service areas and the
[52:30] associated costs.
Um this district will be formed with an
[52:36] assessment adjustment so that the prices
the cost can be increased and to
[52:42] compensate for inflation. Um the formula
basically used it's going to be the
[52:46] consumer price index 5% but not more
than the actual cost of maintaining the
[52:51] district.
[52:55] Uh the basis for calculating how much
each lot will be assessed
[52:59] is based on the equivalent dwelling unit
which is used as a single family home as
[53:04] a baseline. Each
each land use is assigned a ED effect
[53:09] proportion to how many people occupy or
use it. So for instance single family
[53:17] home is considered to have 2.9 people
and apartments have fewer. So they get
[53:22] assessed less per unit. Um and similar
with mobile home parks commercial it's a
[53:28] little harder to judge but we do it on
an acreage basis depending on what the
[53:31] use and 9.3 is kind of a standard for un
for mixed use. So there's a basic
[53:39] calculation if you have two acres 9.3
and then by the total assessment divided
[53:45] by the total
um number of edus or equivalent dwelling
[53:49] units you get a assessed value for that
amount of acres.
[53:54] So when it comes to ballot tabulation
each vote will be tabulated that is
[53:59] received as either yes or no. Ballots
are weighted according to the property
[54:04] owner's proportional financial
obligation, which in this case is the
[54:07] proposed assessed dollar amount. Uh,
tabulation shall occur in a location
[54:14] accessible to the public and by an
impartial person designated by the
[54:18] agency. In this cl was the clerk of the
clerk of the board. The assessment
[54:23] district will be will not be created if
a majority protest exists. Uh for the
[54:29] purpose of this majority protest exists
if the number of ballots submitted in
[54:32] opposition exceed the ballots submitted
in favor of the assessments.
[54:40] So the requests upon uh tabulation
option A if the yes votes exceed the no
[54:47] votes then it requested that the approve
the engineers report approve the
[54:52] assessment di diagram declare the board
of supervisor intent to levy and collect
[54:56] assessments direct the clerk of the
board to record the notice of assessment
[55:01] with the clerk recorder approve the
formation of the assessment district and
[55:06] imposition of assessments approve the
odd 308 form estab Establishing a budget
[55:11] for assessment district. This requires a
four-fifth vote.
[55:15] Or option B, if the no votes exceed the
yes votes, then the Goan Village
[55:21] uh land Landscaping Lightning Assessment
District number one is not formed.
[55:27] Uh thank you. And just as a reminder, if
anyone has any outstanding ballots, they
[55:31] can be submitted before the end of the
meeting. So,
[55:34] » okay. Do any members of the board have
any questions?
[55:38] So, I have I have a question. So if the
nos exceed the yes, it's not formed. So
[55:43] all these things listed, none of that
happens.
[55:45] » Uh correct. Yes. It's not proportional.
It's right all or nothing.
[55:49] » Just want to get that out there. Okay.
Um so no questions at this time. We will
[55:55] take public testimony from anyone in the
audience who wishes to speak. Each
[55:59] person will have three minutes to speak.
In addition, uh all completed ballots
[56:05] must be received by the clerk by the end
of testim public testimony. Any ballot
[56:09] received after the end of public
testimony portion of this hearing will
[56:14] not be considered during the tabulation
of the assessment ballots. Do we have
[56:19] anybody here that would like to speak
for public comment on this item?
[56:25] Okay, I see none. Madame clerk, do we
have any emails from members of the
[56:30] public?
>> We do not.
[56:31] » Okay, so there is um no public
testimony. I will now give interested
[56:37] parties one final opportunities to
submit any outstanding ballots.
[56:43] Not seeing anyone coming forward, I will
now close the public testimony portion
[56:48] of the hearing and request that the
clerk tabulate all ballots received on
[56:53] this matter. So at this time, typically
we would uh go into close session, but
[56:58] we already uh completed that. Have you
tabulated already?
[57:03] » I have not, ma'am. Yeah, I can I will do
that right now.
[57:06] » So, uh we will take a recess until the
votes are tabulated. Thank you.
[1:19:40] Oops.
Come on.
[1:19:45] Okay. Thank you uh for your patience,
everybody. Madame clerk, could you
[1:19:50] please share the results of the
tabulation?
[1:19:53] » Thank you, chair. The ballots for this
matter have been weighted according to
[1:19:56] the proportional financial obligation of
the parcels in accordance with law.
[1:20:00] Based on this waiting, the tabulation of
of the ballots as follow 100% voting
[1:20:05] yes. As such, the ballots in favor of
the assessment exceed the ballots in
[1:20:08] opposition. The assessment district may
be formed and the assessment may be
[1:20:12] imposed.
>> Thank you. Okay. I will now uh bring the
[1:20:17] matter back to the board for discussion
and action. Do any of the board members
[1:20:21] have questions for staff at this time or
wish to make uh take more time to
[1:20:25] review?
Okay, seeing none, I um this matter is
[1:20:32] also on the board's close session
agenda. Do we need a close session on
[1:20:36] this item?
Okay. So, uh it seems like I already
[1:20:41] have a motion by Supervisor Valero with
a second by Supervisor Townsen. Please
[1:20:46] cast your votes.
[1:20:53] Motion passes 50.
That concludes uh agenda item five and
[1:20:58] the public hearing is now closed.
All right.
[1:21:04] Uh with that um madame council I think
we've completed our close session items
[1:21:09] for today.
>> Correct. There's no further need for
[1:21:11] close session.
>> Okay. So uh with that one last thing I
[1:21:15] want to mention. Uh we have some folks
here from leadership Vicelia today.
[1:21:20] Welcome in the back of the room. We
appreciate you being here and hanging
