00:03:21,970 --> 00:03:50,850
Good morning, Supervisor Blazer and Supervisor Fear. I'm Melissa Shaw, Deputy Director of Public Health and Health and Human Services. Today, I bring forward for your consideration a memorandum of understanding for $220,000 between Health and Human Services and the Salvation Army. The Housing Disability and Advocacy Program has one time targeted strategic investment funding, which can be utilized to support maintenance and repairs for local shelter facilities.

2
00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:56,870
The Salvation Army's Depot Family Crisis and Counseling Center provides services to many

3
00:03:56,870 --> 00:04:00,150
of Health and Human Services rapid rehousing participants.

4
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:06,730
These services are vital to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness obtain

5
00:04:06,730 --> 00:04:08,050
and retain housing.

6
00:04:08,610 --> 00:04:14,650
In addition to interim or transitional housing, these services include assistance with barrier

7
00:04:14,650 --> 00:04:16,650
removal and linkages to care.

8
00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:28,650
For example, last year, 100% of health and human services, rapid rehousing, housing support program participants who utilized the depot, exited to permanent housing.

9
00:04:29,230 --> 00:04:37,650
In order for health and human services, rapid rehousing programs to operate effectively, it's imperative that the depot is able to operate at capacity.

10
00:04:38,490 --> 00:04:46,630
The depot is in need of roof repairs, and the Salvation Army has obtained bids verifying that this funding is sufficient to complete the necessary repairs.

11
00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:52,110
fares. Fixing the areas of the roof will enable the depot to continue providing interim

12
00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:56,990
housing to some of the county's most vulnerable residents and help them work towards achieving

13
00:04:56,990 --> 00:05:03,530
self-sufficiency. Due to the age of the facility, mold remediation is needed. The Salvation

14
00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:10,490
Army will apply this funding to expunge the mold and the areas needed. And lastly, the Salvation

15
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:16,430
Army will be able to fix the centralized HVAC system for temperature control during extreme

16
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:20,570
heat and cold. Overall, the agreement between Health and Human Services

17
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:26,030
and the Salvation Army will help the depot maintain capacity as some rooms currently

18
00:05:26,030 --> 00:05:30,750
require extensive repairs as a result of the roof leaking last winter.

19
00:05:31,630 --> 00:05:37,870
In conclusion, we ask the committee to consider the memorandum of understanding for $220,000

20
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:43,290
between the Salvation Army and Health and Human Services to assist with necessary maintenance

21
00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:47,210
and repairs at the depot and we're happy to answer any questions you may have.

22
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,080
One question, what was the total amount of funds that needed to be spent?

23
00:05:53,620 --> 00:06:02,040
The total amount of funds for the housing disability and advocacy program targeted strategic investment was around $340,000.

24
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:07,780
Okay, so you still have a little more that you need to get somebody to apply for?

25
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:25,180
It was an allocation that we received and some of the remaining allocation went to 14 forward repairs that were needed as well as training opportunities for health and human services rapid rehousing staff and our community based partners.

26
00:06:25,940 --> 00:06:30,600
Okay, well that was sort of my question. I was wondering if 14 forward was getting a little money also.

27
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:31,000
Yes.

28
00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:37,120
Does the men's housing, what is that?

29
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:39,500
The mission?

30
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,280
The mission.

31
00:06:40,620 --> 00:06:42,740
Do they fall under your review or not?

32
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:43,760
They don't.

33
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,540
Not right now.

34
00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:47,680
I think that was my only question.

35
00:06:49,890 --> 00:06:51,630
If Kaya or Julius want to say anything,

36
00:06:51,730 --> 00:06:53,270
otherwise, any other public comment?

37
00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:58,270
Then I motion that we move this forward to the consent calendar.

38
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:00,010
I agree.

39
00:07:00,010 --> 00:07:01,050
Can

40
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:05,360
I get to use this now?

41
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:07,920
Thank you.

42
00:07:44,140 --> 00:07:46,220
I am amazing at it.

43
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,900
Mike's on now.

44
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Okay.

45
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,820
Nine o'clock.

46
00:12:26,020 --> 00:12:27,100
Please take your seats.

47
00:12:34,190 --> 00:12:37,450
Tuesday, July 25, 2023.

48
00:12:38,590 --> 00:12:41,570
Welcome to the U of the County Board of Supervisors meeting.

49
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:43,510
As the courtesy others,

50
00:12:44,010 --> 00:12:47,090

51
00:12:48,530 --> 00:12:51,650
and let's stop the meeting out there, please.

52
00:12:52,070 --> 00:12:52,510
Thank you.

53
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:57,290
May I disrupt the meeting? If you're attending via Zoom,

54
00:12:58,230 --> 00:13:00,250
please have your microphones muted at times.

55
00:13:00,250 --> 00:13:02,390
You're not speaking. All items on the agenda,

56
00:13:02,590 --> 00:13:05,470
other than correspondence and board and staff member reports

57
00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:08,350
are considered items for which the board may take action.

58
00:13:09,150 --> 00:13:12,450
The public will be given an opportunity to comment on action items

59
00:13:12,450 --> 00:13:15,890
on the agenda when the item is heard and comments shall be limited

60
00:13:15,890 --> 00:13:18,270
to three minutes per individual or group.

61
00:13:19,130 --> 00:13:21,850
Are we used to have two times specific items?

62
00:13:22,470 --> 00:13:25,650
One is 10 o'clock ordinance in public hearings

63
00:13:26,390 --> 00:13:30,390
and that will be concerning the Hamilton Smart door road

64
00:13:31,050 --> 00:13:33,410
and 11 o'clock special presentations

65
00:13:33,410 --> 00:13:35,990
of which we have, I think, six.

66
00:13:37,330 --> 00:13:40,010
So there'll be no comment, public comments

67
00:13:40,010 --> 00:13:41,490
at the presentations.

68
00:13:41,490 --> 00:13:46,230

I like those county shirts, the T-shirt polo shirts

105
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:20,580
and the dress shirts.

106
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,060

Thank you.

Any comments from the public that haven't submitted a card?

115
00:17:52,540 --> 00:17:53,060
All right.

116
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,000
County departments.

117
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,500
373.

118
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,640
County administrator approve updated.

119
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:11,120
You have a county strategic plan framework including updated mission vision pillars and long-term goals, operating values in 2023 to 2026 milestones, deliverables and priorities.

120
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:12,760
That's a mouthful, thank you.

121
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:20,150
Yes, good morning, Chair, members of the board, Kevin Mellon, you have a county administrator.

122
00:18:20,950 --> 00:18:23,890
Let me see if I can do this correctly.

123
00:18:23,890 --> 00:18:24,010
I

124
00:18:30,820 --> 00:18:39,740
have

125
00:18:43,840 --> 00:19:03,660
the privilege to present to you an update to the county's strategic plan so why should the county have a strategic plan?

126
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:09,160
Well, it's trying to get us all on the same page here, so we have a shared sense of purpose.

127
00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:15,340
We have a common vision, you know, for the future of our county, so that we can focus our resources.

128
00:19:16,020 --> 00:19:23,580
Make sure we have alignment there, and it's an opportunity for us to all work together to achieve that common vision for the future of our county.

129
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:33,460
So, the update of our strategic plan, some of the goals through this process were really

130
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:39,560
to assess the state of our organization and looking for opportunities where we can make

131
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:45,160
impactful changes in organization for the future of our county.

132
00:19:46,140 --> 00:19:53,280
And we also had the opportunity to engage with stakeholders through the process to make

133
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:59,100
make sure that this was a shared vision, not just a vision of our organization, but a vision for

134
00:19:59,730 --> 00:20:04,360
all those that help further the county.

135
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:15,180
And so the process included, and I'll get into all of this, but not only are long-term

136
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:20,300
goals to achieve that vision, but getting down to more tactical mid-term and short-term goals

137
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:20,760
as well.

138
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:34,740
And then with any good plan, making sure that we have accountability for the outcomes of the plan and which requires monitoring and reporting and a continual evaluation.

139
00:20:36,140 --> 00:20:50,700
All right, so before we got into the meat of updating the plan, we took a look at, you know, our internal and external environment that kind of impacts, you know, where the county can head.

140
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:57,740
in the future, we gathered stakeholder input from our neighboring cities, neighboring county,

141
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:07,240
the special districts that serve the county, non-profits that work with us to serve the

142
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,300
county, business leaders within the county.

143
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:19,320
So we tried to have a broad range of input as we proceeded with an update to the county

144
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:28,400
strategic plan. And then with all of that information, we created some groups to help digest

145
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,640
that information and formulate an update to the plan. So there was a core planning group

146
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:44,320
which had about ten department heads that dedicated a considerable amount of time to putting

147
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,260
together the plan that I'm about to present.

148
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,960
The Board, form an ad hoc committee with Supervisor Bradford and Vazquez, and I really appreciate

149
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,460
their time and focus as we worked through the update of the strategic plan.

150
00:21:57,460 --> 00:22:01,460
We had a consensus group of roughly 30 leaders within the county.

151
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:09,800
So the remainder of the department heads and other managers that we've bounced ideas off

152
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,260
of and drafts of the plan as we updated it.

153
00:22:12,260 --> 00:22:23,640
And then, as the draft plan was put together, we had department heads take that draft and then have conversations with the staff and their departments to gather input as well.

154
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:39,920
All right, so the strategic plan that I'm about to present, we're trying to lay out who we are, what our purpose is essentially as an organization, where we're going, making sure we have a clear direction or where we want to head.

155
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:46,640
and then how we operate and so what are our values as an organization as we try to achieve

156
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,760
that vision.

157
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:56,480
And so this graphic before it's symbolic but really it looks like a little bit of the

158
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:56,800
graphic.

159
00:22:57,260 --> 00:22:59,900
Can I hide this down here at all or does this always stay up?

160
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:01,400
Okay.

161
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,140
All right.

162
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,200
Good to know Natalie.

163
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:08,820
So but anyway, he says the graphic, you'll see the mission and the values is kind of the foundation

164
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:30,200
You know, that back to our purpose and how we're going to operate, and then, and I'll get into it in a minute, but our long-term goals, we've organized them into four pillars, which really support the, in this graphic here, the vision, the, you know, the roof that kind of completes this, this graphic.

165
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:48,320
So, for me, I'm a visual person, so it kind of helped me, you know, when you think of a plan and we talk through, you know, purpose direction and value, this kind of symbolizes it, you know, with the purpose being the foundation and the direction being the pillars and so on.

166
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:58,100
So, anyways, the mission, that foundation, you know, who we serve, what we do, how we do it, why we do it.

167
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:09,400
So, we distilled the mission down to a single statement here, which I'll read, serving

168
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:15,680
our community by providing responsive, reliable services that grow unique and thriving places

169
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,480
to live, work and play.

170
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:24,380
So, that's the purpose of our organization to make sure we're serving our community and making

171
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:32,660
making sure it's thriving and it's a place not only to live, but it's also a place where you can work and a place that you can enjoy and play.

172
00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:50,800
So, the vision and the long-term goals are, our organization as we serve the community, what do we want the county to strive to be in the future?

173
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:57,880
And what are those long-term goals that we can focus on in order to achieve that future vision?

174
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:06,420
And that was distilled down as far as a future state of our county.

175
00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:12,500
This vision, and I'll read it here, with its agricultural roots, diverse communities,

176
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:18,920
and yes to Ubiculture, Ubic County is sought after as a place to live, work and play.

177
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,000
So, how do we get to this future state?

178
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:30,660
That's the question of the day, and we do that by having some clear goals and

179
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:36,420
working towards those long-term goals that will achieve this future state of a county.

180
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:44,560
So, those long-term goals I mentioned before, we've distilled them down into four pillars, and

181
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,000
and we've organized them under county services,

182
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,680
communication, engagement and outreach,

183
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,820
growth and development, and then county governance,

184
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,440
operations, and culture.

185
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:57,860
So under county services,

186
00:26:00,820 --> 00:26:04,960
we've put together a long-term goal to deliver convenient,

187
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:07,300
responsive, safe, and reliable services

188
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:09,480
with a personal yes to you, but experience

189
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,440
for all communities we serve.

190
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:19,880
And for each one of these pillars, we obviously need to tie, and I mentioned before, we have short, mid, and long-term.

191
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:29,680
This is our long-term goal, and I'll get into later on in my presentation what we plan to do to achieve this long-term goal in the short-term and in the mid-term.

192
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:40,760
And for the next pillar, which was communication engagement and outreach, to build a strong sense of community and a shared vision for the county among stakeholders.

193
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:46,540
and to position quality of life within Yubi County as unique mix of urban and rural communities

194
00:26:47,260 --> 00:26:50,120
enhanced by opportunities for outdoor adventure.

195
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:58,420
And then under growth and development we have two long term goals here as well.

196
00:26:59,140 --> 00:27:05,680
One is growth focused and the other is resource preservation focused.

197
00:27:06,420 --> 00:27:11,120
So the growth one to pursue responsible housing and economic development

198
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:15,620
that meets the needs and expectations of a growing community supported by infrastructure that

199
00:27:15,620 --> 00:27:21,980
connects individuals to different parts of the county and to each other. And the final one,

200
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,660
it looks like I'm going to have to look at my notes so that I don't miss that one, to protect and

201
00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:33,060
promote both the rural lifestyle and the agricultural roots of the county while providing access to its

202
00:27:33,060 --> 00:27:33,760
natural beauty.

203
00:27:36,660 --> 00:27:41,400
And then the fourth pillar under county governance operations and culture,

204
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:46,400
to operate efficiently in a fiscally responsible manner and within a culture of

205
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:52,700
collaboration, empowerment, and accountability. So that kind of outlines those

206
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:58,280
four pillars outline how we're going to work to achieve that vision that I

207
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:58,940
mentioned before.

208
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:07,200
So as we operate as an organization and this is something

209
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:36,740
that we didn't have in the previous strategic plan, but we thought it pardoned the pun, it had value, and that was setting as an organization a list of operating values that we can get behind and ensure that we have clarity as an organization on how we're going to operate and work together on those long term goals.

210
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:45,830
and so we've created eight operating values.

211
00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:47,770
I'm not gonna read all of the text here,

212
00:28:47,930 --> 00:28:53,870
but the first one is commitment talking about accountability.

213
00:28:54,530 --> 00:28:57,310
Yes to you, but mindset where we're a service,

214
00:28:57,690 --> 00:29:01,950
we value being a service-oriented organization,

215
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:06,670
collaboration, we like to work with one another,

216
00:29:06,670 --> 00:29:35,230
our stewardship ensuring we're upholding the public's trust as we operate, workforce development ensuring that we're developing our most valuable asset in the organization, our employees, inclusion, making sure that all voices in our organization are heard and are able to contribute to the success of our organization.

217
00:29:36,670 --> 00:29:52,190
trust and transparency, making sure that we are open, honest and accessible to the public, and adaptability that we are being innovative and flexible to changes.

218
00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:59,850
is all right. So that I the first few slides.

219
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
Talk through or kind of our foundational, you know, our purpose, our direction, and our values as an organization. And next, I want to talk about, well, how do we achieve those, those long term goals? And I had, it's kind of funny. I had a former county administrator, I can't make claim. This is quite a few years back. It was early in my career. And him and I were discussing a tough topic. And he said, Kevin, don't worry.

220
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:33,500
worry about it, how do you eat an elephant?

221
00:30:33,980 --> 00:30:35,780
And I was like, what do you mean, how do you eat an elephant?

222
00:30:35,860 --> 00:30:37,360
He's like, you take one bite at a time.

223
00:30:38,300 --> 00:30:41,300
That's how you tackle these large issues.

224
00:30:41,900 --> 00:30:44,360
And that is saying, and I'm sure he stole it from somebody,

225
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,640
kind of stuck with me.

226
00:30:46,140 --> 00:30:51,240
And but it is, whenever you have something large to overcome,

227
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,140
you break it down into small bite sized pieces and tackle it.

228
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,540
And so for our strategic plan to achieve

229
00:30:59,540 --> 00:31:09,100
We believe that those long-term goals and the vision, we want to get down and focus on what we'd like to achieve in the next three years.

230
00:31:09,420 --> 00:31:17,460
And then what do we want to focus on in this current fiscal year in order to work towards the next three years?

231
00:31:18,020 --> 00:31:28,020
And through that process, then we can monitor our successes in those different areas and see if any adjustments are needed.

232
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:35,780
so that we continue to focus each year and then looking out three years and then looking all the way to the future as well.

233
00:31:36,980 --> 00:31:43,990
So this focus, I probably talked through this slide just now.

234
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:59,110
So this focus helps us make sure that we're on target this year and then focusing out three years on hitting those milestones.

235
00:31:59,110 --> 00:32:10,970
So we broke down some milestones for each of those four pillar areas on areas where we want to focus over the next three years.

236
00:32:11,310 --> 00:32:25,970
And so we have a couple of focuses in the county services department area, improve public perception of safety, improve community health and access to services and increase access and convenience of county services.

237
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:34,310
And then, under the pillar of communication outreach and engagement, embracing the yes

238
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:41,230
to you, but mindset throughout our county organization, and then opening lines of meaningful

239
00:32:41,230 --> 00:32:44,550
communication with the communities we serve.

240
00:32:45,750 --> 00:32:50,270
And then, this is on the marketing side of things, but identify what makes UB County unique

241
00:32:50,780 --> 00:32:52,650
and promote that effectively.

242
00:32:52,650 --> 00:33:03,090
On growth and development, focus on attracting businesses large and small, and focus on diversity

243
00:33:03,090 --> 00:33:09,750
by our housing stock to meet the needs of our growing communities, that continue to focus

244
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:16,690
on the infrastructure to facilitate that development and connection between our communities, revitalization

245
00:33:16,690 --> 00:33:22,750
of our existing communities, and then protecting and promoting our natural resources.

246
00:33:24,050 --> 00:33:31,450
And then under county governance operations and culture, as an organization evaluating and

247
00:33:31,450 --> 00:33:41,550
identifying productive partnerships with our partners, both public partners and

248
00:33:41,550 --> 00:33:50,890
some profit partners to ensure we're maximizing our efforts there to serve the community and

249
00:33:50,890 --> 00:33:59,370
to build and sustain a dynamic workforce, ensure that those values that I described earlier

250
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:03,270
in the presentation are shared within the workforce.

251
00:34:04,310 --> 00:34:11,030
And then as far as the sustainability of our organization, look for opportunities to make

252
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:19,450
make sure we've diversified our revenue sources that allow us to provide services to the community.

253
00:34:21,830 --> 00:34:31,950
So, getting down all the way to this current fiscal year, we've put together a top 12 priorities list.

254
00:34:32,810 --> 00:34:38,370
And these help provide focus for the organization for the current fiscal year.

255
00:34:38,370 --> 00:34:47,390
In these priority areas, feed into the milestones we'd like to hit by 2026, and those milestones

256
00:34:47,390 --> 00:34:53,270
obviously feed into our long-term goals to support the vision and the strategic plan.

257
00:34:54,390 --> 00:35:00,090
So under safety, increasing visibility of law enforcement along our primary commercial

258
00:35:00,090 --> 00:35:08,910
corridor assessing and developing a plan to improve behavioral health services, ensuring

259
00:35:08,910 --> 00:35:16,710
that we're connecting with the public through law enforcement schools and probation to ensure

260
00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:26,710
the public is aware of the services available, that we're focused on automation of our services

261
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:33,610
is to the public both online and in-person and through that automation reducing manual

262
00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:42,690
staff processes, that we are training in developing our workforce around that, yes,

263
00:35:42,810 --> 00:35:49,470
to UBA mindset, and that as an organization we're evaluating our committee and commission

264
00:35:49,470 --> 00:35:55,610
structures to ensure relevance and making sure they're meaningful and impactful to the

265
00:35:55,610 --> 00:36:01,270
organization, continued focus in our partnership with the Water Agency and

266
00:36:01,270 --> 00:36:05,250
Oliver's Public Utility District in the city of Wheatland to secure grant funds

267
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:12,610
for the South County Sewer Infrastructure Project and we continue our focus

268
00:36:13,050 --> 00:36:17,710
on finding grants to improve sidewalks, lighting and drainage in our existing

269
00:36:17,710 --> 00:36:27,170
community. It looks like I got a little smile from, yep, all right. And this is one that

270
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:36,810
has been a comment topic and we need to start a process with other stakeholders to improve

271
00:36:36,810 --> 00:36:46,150
and secure safe recreational access through public lands to the rivers in Yuba County. We want

272
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:57,050
And to establish a workforce development committee to focus on developing the future of our organization there.

273
00:36:58,170 --> 00:37:10,130
And under organizational culture, as I mentioned before, making sure that those values in the strategic plan are shared with our workforce that get everybody on the same page there.

274
00:37:10,130 --> 00:37:20,210
and lastly, but not least, is evaluating our sales tax revenue and identify areas where

275
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:28,850
we can proactively seek out businesses that would help us diversify our tax base.

276
00:37:30,510 --> 00:37:36,710
So those 12 priorities will help the organization with focus this fiscal year.

277
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:45,850
One of the very first opportunities for this focus will be with the board at the budget workshops on August 8th and 9th.

278
00:37:45,930 --> 00:37:56,730
And the plan will be for the board to have an opportunity as you evaluate department budgets and we look for opportunities to further these priorities.

279
00:37:59,650 --> 00:38:03,350
All right, so some keys to success through this planning exercise.

280
00:38:03,350 --> 00:38:11,490
I said, it really helps, now that I'm looking at this slide, we have focus up there a few times.

281
00:38:11,670 --> 00:38:12,870
But it's very important.

282
00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:18,630
I mean, that's one of the overarching goals of this whole plan is to, as an organization,

283
00:38:18,850 --> 00:38:19,930
making sure we have focus.

284
00:38:20,530 --> 00:38:23,210
Focus for the board is you're making decisions.

285
00:38:24,310 --> 00:38:31,050
Focus of our financial resources, so that we're maximizing that return on investment to serve our communities.

286
00:38:31,050 --> 00:38:59,430
focus on how we structure our organization to provide those services and then focus for those that serve on all of the committees and commissions within the county to make sure that those serving there are in alignment and making sure that the decisions they're making tie back into our overall goals and vision for the county.

287
00:38:59,430 --> 00:39:06,820
So, as I mentioned before, as far as next steps, we're going to have an immediate next step

288
00:39:06,820 --> 00:39:15,300
at the board's next meeting where we'll have the budget workshops, where we can evaluate

289
00:39:16,260 --> 00:39:18,860
furthering those top 12 priorities.

290
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:27,240
And as I mentioned before as well, really the success of this plan relies on it being relevant

291
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:39,340
and integrated into all of our processes within the county as an organization and making sure we're monitoring and evaluating and reporting out.

292
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:53,740
And it's a cyclical basis and the plan will be for the board to be engaged prior to each budget cycle in the future to evaluate what we've succeeded in,

293
00:39:53,740 --> 00:39:59,900
what we need to focus on and do any adjustments need to be made as far as our priorities in that

294
00:39:59,900 --> 00:40:05,060
coming fiscal year and for our three year look out as far as milestones.

295
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:12,240
And with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions from the board but my recommendation is that

296
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:18,980
the board approve of the strategic plan that I've presented to you. All right, any questions from the

297
00:40:18,980 --> 00:40:23,780
Mr. Blaser, the elders have a chair.

298
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,760
Well, I appreciate the ever because that's a big effort to put a strategic point together.

299
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,740
What have we done in the past?

300
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,880
And I should have divided up here as a prop.

301
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:45,700
In 2009, the county, and it was the first time my predecessor, Robert Bendorf, he had pulled

302
00:40:45,700 --> 00:40:46,440
together a group.

303
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,640
We had a facilitator at the time, Mitch Rosenberg.

304
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,220
I think the board's familiar with him.

305
00:40:51,300 --> 00:40:53,860
I think he's been helping facilitate the water agency.

306
00:40:54,460 --> 00:40:57,120
He helped the county put together its first ever strategic plan.

307
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:02,300
So that plan had a statement of commitment,

308
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:08,200
a vision for the future of our organization.

309
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:15,340
And then had identified some priorities for

310
00:41:15,340 --> 00:41:42,220
the organization, but it didn't, the implementation part of that plan wasn't fully developed, and so that's kind of one of the key takeaways that I had from the previous plan is that we needed to make sure that it was relevant to how we operate as an organization and make sure it's clear to everybody within the organization, is that how we're going to achieve those long-term goals?

311
00:41:42,220 --> 00:41:44,020
Probably not as much detail as this one.

312
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,900
No, not really.

313
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,240
It was contained in a small panel.

314
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:54,140
Like you said, the main important things are the implementation and

315
00:41:54,140 --> 00:41:57,640
the monitoring, make sure that you know, they keep referring back to the plan.

316
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,620
Thank you. Good job.

317
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:01,300
Thanks.

318
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,760
Any further questions?

319
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:05,620
Do the chair.

320
00:42:06,060 --> 00:42:06,180
Yes?

321
00:42:07,740 --> 00:42:08,180
Insert.

322
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:16,060
Thank you.

323
00:42:16,220 --> 00:42:18,620
And I do the praises to the organization.

324
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:19,860
There was, as I mentioned before,

325
00:42:19,860 --> 00:42:23,640
You had quite a few groups working on this, it was not an individual effort.

326
00:43:11,620 --> 00:43:15,560
And that the county is a whole, it's more comprehensive and inclusive, does that make sense?

327
00:43:16,820 --> 00:43:23,180
I understand the point, and that is a great thing to distinguish here that this plan

328
00:43:23,180 --> 00:43:30,100
is about focusing the 900 employees to best serve the 84,000 people that reside in the county.

329
00:43:31,120 --> 00:44:00,040
So, and on the specific side, for instance, on the implementation plan on strategic opportunities for county services improve perception of public safety, I really liked it when you had under deliverables increase visibility, but then improve perception seems a little bit, I don't know if you were looking for a word change to say the same thing, but I would, perception has the illusion that you're increasing something that is not, in fact,

330
00:44:00,620 --> 00:44:01,500
Does that make sense?

331
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,840
Yes, so that, by way of background, the discussion in the groups on that was, you know,

332
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:13,720
that there is a public perception that some of our commercial corridors are not as safe as maybe

333
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:15,920
other commercial corridors and neighboring communities.

334
00:44:16,660 --> 00:44:21,040
We don't believe that to be the case, but increased visibility.

335
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,780
And that's why I like to, I love the word visibility there.

336
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:28,460
So as far as implementation, it's like well, then we'll increase visibility to improve that perception.

337
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:34,520
And then under infrastructure, you listed some great stuff, obviously,

338
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,180
the ones that I am particularly fond of.

339
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:42,400
But you left out the bypass or a bridge or something that we're going to do to

340
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,720
leave a traffic issues as far as infrastructure.

341
00:44:45,020 --> 00:44:52,740
Now maybe it's because the time frame for that solution is more than the 2028 milestone is.

342
00:44:53,140 --> 00:44:57,880
But it would be nice to have some fragment of improved or increased traffic diversion

343
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,320
around Mary's home.

344
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:30,100
That's a great topic of discussion. Now, in our milestones, three years out, that is addressed, but the groups didn't identify that as a priority within the top 12 for this fiscal year. But that is definitely something. Really, we're trying to figure out, back to that focus, what can we tackle this fiscal year to further these goals? And then the board

345
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:37,980
Board can evaluate, all right, well, if we've checked those boxes on this, top 12, what's our top 12, for example, in fiscal year 2425?

346
00:45:38,140 --> 00:45:41,860
And perhaps I misunderstand, isn't it something that we're incrementally doing every year?

347
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:49,580
Yes, so just because it's not in the top 12 priorities doesn't mean it's not a priority, it's just not a top 12.

348
00:45:49,860 --> 00:45:54,980
This is an overview, not an in-depth, we'll go through that on the budget.

349
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,140
So an infrastructure, I would love to see more about that traffic diversion.

350
00:45:59,460 --> 00:46:00,280
Thank you.

351
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:01,780
All righty.

352
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:02,180
Gary?

353
00:46:02,460 --> 00:46:07,240
Through the chair, first, just adding to what Supervisor Fuhrer just said about that.

354
00:46:07,580 --> 00:46:12,620
Certainly mentioning traffic congestion relief around Mary'sville is very important.

355
00:46:13,340 --> 00:46:18,760
Any time we mention that, of course, we should also mention traffic relief and diversion around the city of Wheatland as well.

356
00:46:19,020 --> 00:46:22,700
So I think those two kind of go hand in hand for the future of the county.

357
00:46:22,700 --> 00:46:32,360
So, but mostly what I have is just comments and praise, so thank you to all of the staff and the stakeholders who were involved in this.

358
00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:40,100
I think this does an amazing job of capturing where we're at, where we want to be, what our present is, where our future should be.

359
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:46,700
I love the way it's worded, I love the choice of language in here, it's great, so thank you to everyone involved.

360
00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:50,180
Well, thank you very much.

361
00:46:50,180 --> 00:46:50,440
John?

362
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:51,660
No problem.

363
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:52,280
That's questions.

364
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,280
I don't know if I could through the chair.

365
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:57,260
I just want to make sure.

366
00:46:58,820 --> 00:47:00,000
Supervisor Bradford's comment.

367
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:03,940
The final product here was we had.

368
00:47:05,300 --> 00:47:06,880
We had a word document.

369
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:12,220
It didn't have all the photos and it didn't look as nearly as nice as this.

370
00:47:12,660 --> 00:47:14,280
And in the last week.

371
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:29,780
Russ Brown did an excellent job of taking our words, distilling them down even further, refining them, and then putting together this product that's before you today with the images and the format and layout.

372
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,980
So I just wanted to thank you.

373
00:47:33,220 --> 00:47:37,000
Call him out specifically for really helping us take it to the next level.

374
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,480
It's a massive change from last year, that's for sure.

375
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:47,400
I have a question and actually not a question to us, just a statement.

376
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,660
This is a strategic plan for Ubik County.

377
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,920
The question is, with the population loss in California, why would we do this?

378
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:07,740
Well, we do this because last year we were the fourth largest assessment growth in the

379
00:48:07,740 --> 00:48:16,340
state per capita of $800 million in one year, and we're at $700 million this year.

380
00:48:17,220 --> 00:48:18,040
We're expanding.

381
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:26,840
We have freed up over 2,000 lots in Plymouth Lake, and that's why we need a much larger

382
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:34,440
strategic plan and you've done a lot to address that and useless trivia from

383
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:43,200
2010 to 2020 population change of over 9,000 in New York County and this

384
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:51,740
little little county of total of 81,575 is the 39th largest county in

385
00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:59,320
California now and that's why this strategic plan was so necessary and you did a phenomenal

386
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:06,280
job on this and I'm looking forward to the budget meeting because that was an eye-opener

387
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:12,400
last year and I think that we're going to do that but you know a thanks to staff because

388
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:21,280
without those 900 people in management we wouldn't been able to accomplish this

389
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:27,020
and we do it and they make it seamless and we sit up here and we say wow

390
00:49:27,020 --> 00:49:32,140
we've been able to do this and we haven't had problems well I can go to

391
00:49:32,140 --> 00:49:36,520
different departments and you've all had problems but you made it happen and

392
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,460
And that's the attitude of UB County as it can do attitude.

393
00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:48,660
And because of that, we've got Costco coming in due to open and September.

394
00:49:50,540 --> 00:50:06,700
And Dan Peterson just did an article or helped supply an article explaining the drainage improvement in areas that had never had drainage in all the history of UB County.

395
00:50:06,700 --> 00:50:22,780
And the water agency finally actually explained sufficiently that the loan to Yuba County saved $400,000 this year.

396
00:50:24,020 --> 00:50:35,660
And those are kind of overlooked at our meetings and I'd like to make sure that we always realize that this all happened because of staff and its efficiency

397
00:50:36,420 --> 00:50:44,100
and a board that lets them run pretty much free so all right thank you very much

398
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:49,760
for this and any comments from the public through the chair we do have one hand

399
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,500
raised on zoom okay and

400
00:50:57,980 --> 00:51:01,540
they just put their hand down put their hand down okay

401
00:51:01,540 --> 00:51:09,000
all right you can't put it back up again all right I will entertain a motion through

402
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:15,500
the chair they did never mind. I'm sorry it's back up again. And now it's back there

403
00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:15,800
out.

404
00:51:18,650 --> 00:51:20,070
You didn't cut it off cook enough.

405
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,900
Who do we have the pleasure of talking to?

406
00:51:28,460 --> 00:51:32,220
For the record, can you please state your name? Yes my name is Calvin

407
00:52:10,270 --> 00:52:11,310
and so I

408
00:52:20,270 --> 00:52:20,750
was mentioned

409
00:52:20,750 --> 00:52:24,870
by stating whether or not the agenda item comes from the state

410
00:52:41,510 --> 00:52:42,870
that it

411
00:52:48,690 --> 00:52:50,430
moves to that is that

412
00:52:50,430 --> 00:52:51,710
that if the

413
00:52:54,750 --> 00:52:55,910
considered there can

414
00:53:02,060 --> 00:53:04,220
see or that

415
00:53:06,300 --> 00:53:08,060
that should be noted

416
00:53:17,180 --> 00:53:19,220
and funded

417
00:53:22,930 --> 00:53:23,890
from people

418
00:53:23,890 --> 00:53:29,150
like George Soros and others who work their way through the state or as well as through

419
00:53:29,150 --> 00:53:31,430
non-governmental organizations, nonprofits.

420
00:53:31,990 --> 00:53:34,150
So please address those two things.

421
00:53:34,430 --> 00:53:34,690
Thank you.

422
00:53:35,010 --> 00:53:37,020
All right.

423
00:53:37,180 --> 00:53:37,980
Thank you very much.

424
00:53:38,460 --> 00:53:40,700
I understand you live in the county.

425
00:53:41,340 --> 00:53:42,340
Is that correct?

426
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:45,080
Okay.

427
00:53:45,380 --> 00:53:45,920
All right.

428
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:45,980
All right.

429
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:51,060
Back to the board for a motion.

430
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:52,100
I'll move to a proof.

431
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:55,230
All right.

432
00:53:55,470 --> 00:53:56,050
We have a motion.

433
00:53:56,350 --> 00:53:57,030
I need a second.

434
00:53:57,110 --> 00:53:57,750
I'll second it.

435
00:53:58,350 --> 00:53:59,950
We have a motion in a second.

436
00:54:00,210 --> 00:54:01,170
You want a roll call?

437
00:54:02,210 --> 00:54:02,630
Yeah.

438
00:54:02,770 --> 00:54:03,470
Let's try a roll call.

439
00:54:04,570 --> 00:54:05,350
Supervisor Basque.

440
00:54:05,650 --> 00:54:05,930
Yes.

441
00:54:06,350 --> 00:54:07,090
Supervisor Blazer.

442
00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:07,570
Yes.

443
00:54:07,930 --> 00:54:08,830
Supervisor Führer.

444
00:54:08,910 --> 00:54:09,050
Yes.

445
00:54:09,490 --> 00:54:10,310
Supervisor Bradford.

446
00:54:10,430 --> 00:54:10,570
Yes.

447
00:54:11,010 --> 00:54:11,810
Supervisor Messick.

448
00:54:11,910 --> 00:54:12,090
Yes.

449
00:54:12,550 --> 00:54:13,010
All passes.

450
00:54:13,650 --> 00:54:13,790
All right.

451
00:54:13,790 --> 00:54:19,730
Well the measure passes and thank you very much Kevin and please thank all the people

452
00:54:19,730 --> 00:54:22,630
involved in formulating this plan.

453
00:54:25,260 --> 00:54:31,300
All right, we are time specific on two items here that are going to take up a lot of time here.

454
00:54:35,220 --> 00:54:38,900
We can go because it's, we've got 15 minutes.

455
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:40,440
We can do the board,

456
00:54:44,730 --> 00:54:49,090
we'll do the correspondence first and then do the board comments.

457
00:54:49,090 --> 00:54:50,510
So, of course, plan this.

458
00:54:52,730 --> 00:54:56,950
We have two items for correspondence, item 356-2023.

459
00:54:57,430 --> 00:55:00,110
Received SETR, UBA Behavioral Health Advisory Boards,

460
00:55:00,290 --> 00:55:03,790
annual year-end report for fiscal year 2022-23.

461
00:55:04,510 --> 00:55:10,270
And item 381-SETR 2023, letter from Habitat for Humanity,

462
00:55:10,270 --> 00:55:17,470
UBA SETR, regarding required HSC Section 506-75.7E,

463
00:55:17,470 --> 00:55:21,710
Notification of State Funding Application Submittal for Serenity Village.

464
00:55:23,170 --> 00:55:31,950
All right, we'll go ahead and do board comments, board staff member reports, so supervisor

465
00:55:31,950 --> 00:55:37,130
Blazer is kind of early in the program, but we can get it.

466
00:55:38,430 --> 00:55:38,870
That's fine.

467
00:55:39,050 --> 00:55:44,850
I'm glad to see the temperatures taper off too bad it wasn't before each festival.

468
00:55:45,110 --> 00:55:46,070
I did that just for you.

469
00:55:48,510 --> 00:56:01,150
So the peach festival went pretty well except I think they kind of died off a little bit on Saturday due to the heat, but all in all it was really well organized and I want to thank Seth for

470
00:56:02,990 --> 00:56:10,690
keep prodding about the traffic around Mary'sville and so just need to keep that visible.

471
00:56:11,050 --> 00:56:11,610
Okay, thanks.

472
00:56:11,610 --> 00:56:22,030
All right. We have a bridge that has numerous exclamation marks on it. Seth? Superbized

473
00:56:22,030 --> 00:56:27,610
fear? Looking through my calendar because I wasn't ready. So I think that I have exciting

474
00:56:27,610 --> 00:56:32,850
stuff like the food bank tomorrow. More exciting, I believe there is a retirement party on Friday.

475
00:56:33,630 --> 00:56:39,950
And then Saturday, the koanas and sailov, I think, are doing something cool at the library.

476
00:56:40,530 --> 00:56:50,910
So if you guys want to clean up the community or if you want to get some hot dogs and the library event, I'm sure somebody can tell us about here.

477
00:56:51,370 --> 00:56:54,090
I don't remember exactly what it is. I'm just cooking hot dogs for it.

478
00:56:54,670 --> 00:57:00,850
Okay, well, thank you for your effort to provide your breath for it.

479
00:57:00,850 --> 00:57:05,090
Okay, I've got a couple items here, first related to community events.

480
00:57:05,090 --> 00:57:21,290
This Saturday is the community cleanup for District 4, and so that is at Bishop's Pumpkin Packs, so if you live in the City of Wheatland or Plumas Lake or the surrounding rural areas in District 4, you can bring your trash to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm on Saturday morning.

481
00:57:21,870 --> 00:57:24,570
I forget the exact time, but I think it's 8 to noon.

482
00:57:25,150 --> 00:57:27,890
There's the time of that event, and you can drop it off.

483
00:57:27,890 --> 00:57:34,810
Is that the first cleanup bit bishop I think it is the first one at bishops before the city has done it

484
00:57:34,810 --> 00:57:37,850
Somewhere else in the city. I think so it's the first time in bishops

485
00:57:37,850 --> 00:57:44,670
So yeah, and I do appreciate public work stepping up kind of at the last minute to make sure that all of the fourth district was able to be included

486
00:57:44,670 --> 00:57:47,730
And not just the city of Wheatland. So that's great

487
00:57:47,730 --> 00:57:54,030
Two additional things coming up or I guess three actually in the fourth district tonight at the Wheatland City Council meeting

488
00:57:54,030 --> 00:58:00,890
They'll be swearing in their new chief of police so if anyone wants to participate in that I'd encourage you to go

489
00:58:00,890 --> 00:58:09,970
It's at City Hall at 6 p.m. Also a national night out of course county-wide, but the community of Wheatland will be having an event

490
00:58:09,970 --> 00:58:13,470
At the park across the street from the police station

491
00:58:14,550 --> 00:58:21,070
On August 1st that evening and then in Plumas Lake we have our second Saturday event that's coming up August 12

492
00:58:21,070 --> 00:58:25,570
So that'll be before I get maybe before our next board meeting I'd have to look at a calendar

493
00:58:25,570 --> 00:58:31,610
But it goes for about six to ten I do pay wood park and it has a few trucks live music be your garden

494
00:58:31,610 --> 00:58:34,590
And we do it the second Saturday of every month over the summer

495
00:58:35,570 --> 00:58:42,590
Sakumofo was helping put that on also. I just returned from the National Association of Counties annual conference and

496
00:58:42,590 --> 00:58:45,690
One of the big things that happens if that conference is

497
00:58:46,870 --> 00:58:51,470
establishment of the advocacy that NACO does on behalf of counties across the

498
00:58:51,470 --> 00:58:55,890
countries with the federal government, and the way that that process happens is there's

499
00:58:55,890 --> 00:59:01,430
policy committees that supervisors sit on and in some cases, county staff, they

500
00:59:01,430 --> 00:59:05,910
present resolutions to those committees on various topics about what they think

501
00:59:05,910 --> 00:59:11,310
NACO should advocate on behalf of counties for. Those committees consider and

502
00:59:11,310 --> 00:59:17,550
Those policies approve them if approved in the committee, then they ultimately go before the board of

503
00:59:17,550 --> 00:59:21,690
NACO, and then ultimately the full membership at the conference, and they're all voted on.

504
00:59:21,950 --> 00:59:24,390
So I was able to present one.

505
00:59:24,470 --> 00:59:28,130
I sit on the Telecommunications and Technology Committee, and

506
00:59:28,130 --> 00:59:33,990
presented a resolution in support of using federal bead funding for open access broadband

507
00:59:33,990 --> 00:59:35,630
networks to advocate for that.

508
00:59:36,030 --> 00:59:40,750
That was approved by the committee, by the NACO board, and by the full body.

509
00:59:40,750 --> 00:59:43,070
And so I appreciate Ian Scott's support on that.

510
00:59:43,250 --> 00:59:47,950
He helped me draft that and was a co-sponsor of that item.

511
00:59:48,890 --> 00:59:54,170
And in addition to that, while there, I got to two or the community first village.

512
00:59:54,390 --> 00:59:59,970
So many people have probably heard of the tiny home, kind of homeless, affordable housing.

513
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:29,640
It was a meeting village outside of Austin. And it was very interesting. It's about 75% privately funded by donations. And it currently has about, it's on about 50 acres has, I think, about 500 units. Residents pay between two and three, two and I'm sorry, three and $500 a month to live in one of those houses. And of course, it has supportive services. It is permanent housing, not transitional. And so it's a fairly inexpensive way to build some affordable housing.

514
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,360
but also create community.

515
01:00:31,780 --> 01:00:37,460
So that's one of the things that they really believe in is that housing by itself doesn't solve homelessness,

516
01:00:37,700 --> 01:00:39,120
but you also need community.

517
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:49,180
And then they provide opportunities for the residents to work in the community if they need to earn some extra income to help make their rent payment.

518
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:58,500
So it was a very interesting environment and I'm excited to share more about that with staff and with other electives.

519
01:00:58,500 --> 01:01:01,080
So I guess that's enough for today.

520
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:04,720
Mr. Messick.

521
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,280
Well, I have a few things too.

522
01:01:07,060 --> 01:01:10,060
This one's in Don's district with the Mary'sville Drakes.

523
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:13,740
Their last three games are Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

524
01:01:14,660 --> 01:01:17,300
So tomorrow night, Wednesday night is the color of beer night.

525
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:24,380
And if we could all get down there and kind of support them in the last few games, that would be good.

526
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,720
And the other one I wanted to pitch is dancing with the stars.

527
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:40,180
First is coming up August 26th at Hardrock, it's a local fundraiser for the hospital, so if anybody wants information about that, see me.

528
01:01:40,500 --> 01:01:52,020
And then, each festival update, I know it's been a while, but on the first board meeting, I wanted to thank everybody for participating in the fundraisers around town.

529
01:01:52,020 --> 01:01:58,080
and a lot of you know the stand-down had extra pies, and we sold them, and we actually

530
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,900
sold so many of the ordered more, and a couple of people backed out.

531
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:05,720
So anybody still wants a peach pie, go to the stand-down on D-Street.

532
01:02:05,740 --> 01:02:06,660
They still have a few left.

533
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,700
Why don't you just tell us a little bit about that whole story with the-

534
01:02:11,700 --> 01:02:19,360
So the veteran stand-down bought 1,200 pies like they normally do to sell at the peach

535
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:27,420
festival it was so hot apparently they only sold about half of them and well it's a whole

536
01:02:27,420 --> 01:02:31,620
long story how I got involved with them but anyway I just decided to try to help

537
01:02:31,620 --> 01:02:37,280
them sell them and they had 600 pies a Sunday after the peach festival and we sold about

538
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:45,240
850 so it was a huge effort I'm not going to post that they have me left on Facebook

539
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:51,240
book anymore because like 87 people shared my post, my phone is still shows that I have

540
01:02:51,740 --> 01:02:54,620
50 or 60 messages that I can't even figure out how to get to.

541
01:02:55,640 --> 01:03:01,340
I had my voicemail was full, my phone just for like three days all I did was return people's

542
01:03:01,340 --> 01:03:02,280
calls and sell pies.

543
01:03:02,580 --> 01:03:08,620
So I don't think I've ever seen a response to a supervisor request for donating money.

544
01:03:08,980 --> 01:03:13,640
Yeah, when we delivered pies, I had a lot of people come and volunteer to help and we delivered

545
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:14,820
Pies all over the place.

546
01:03:15,420 --> 01:03:20,140
Like I say, so many that we were actually completely ran out Sunday afternoon.

547
01:03:20,740 --> 01:03:25,260
And they ordered more that came in and we had pre-orders.

548
01:03:25,740 --> 01:03:27,680
We delivered all those last Thursday.

549
01:03:28,540 --> 01:03:31,900
They came in Thursday and I was at a town Friday Saturday.

550
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,680
So they called and said they still have a few more.

551
01:03:34,820 --> 01:03:35,560
They're frozen.

552
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,040
Some they froze some that they guess are going to take the stand out.

553
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,660
And they have some of the refrigerators.

554
01:03:39,660 --> 01:03:44,640
So anybody wants a Stephen's farmhouse peach pie swing by the stand down

555
01:03:46,060 --> 01:03:47,720
about 10 and four

556
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:49,240
a week

557
01:03:50,860 --> 01:03:51,980
Great, and

558
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,660
There'll be an item on the agenda that you were involved in heavily with and

559
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:04,720
We're going to we're going to do a recognition for mr. Pertler fishing game person out there and just so you understand

560
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:13,600
And our sheriff's department is not the only person out there preventing crazy things

561
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,160
from happening in our area.

562
01:04:16,100 --> 01:04:23,940
And he gave us a list of violations that he wrote in the last two years.

563
01:04:24,660 --> 01:04:32,760
And I think last year or this year, he's written eight pages of citations and these are

564
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,200
different, not for fishing without a license.

565
01:04:36,420 --> 01:04:38,840
Although there is one for fishing without a license.

566
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:42,040
Here is a guy out in the middle of 500 people

567
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,920
with firearms then alcohol.

568
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,040
And I think there was a 15 or 20

569
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:54,560
that were violations of parole, and they were re-arrested

570
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:59,000
and illegal firearms charges.

571
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:08,000
and we're going to say hello to that guy next next meeting, so John was heavily involved with the...

572
01:05:08,740 --> 01:05:15,680
I don't think people realize what happens in certain areas in our community because they are so rural

573
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:26,480
and we had gangs from Stockton and over 500 people destroying our area

574
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:29,700
And that will be discussed a little earlier.

575
01:05:30,340 --> 01:05:36,120
But one of the things I really like to mention is that our press

576
01:05:39,070 --> 01:05:41,510
releases are getting much

577
01:05:41,510 --> 01:05:46,930
better at actually explaining to the people how we spend the money in the county.

578
01:05:47,550 --> 01:05:57,490
The article that the loan from Water Agency as saves 400,000 every year.

579
01:05:57,490 --> 01:06:06,230
And the president's first veto was to destroy the fiduciary relationship you have with

580
01:06:06,230 --> 01:06:12,250
government-managed portfolios.

581
01:06:12,490 --> 01:06:16,290
They don't have to go for the highest return.

582
01:06:17,070 --> 01:06:19,450
They just have to be woke.

583
01:06:20,750 --> 01:06:27,250
And as we've seen from Selendra, the government can waste lots of your money.

584
01:06:28,030 --> 01:06:36,490
And that's what our president just vetoed a bill that required me to be responsible for managing our funds.

585
01:06:37,070 --> 01:06:41,630
So on that note, I'm going to actually ask that we take a five-minute break,

586
01:06:41,950 --> 01:06:43,970
because I think we're going to run long.

587
01:06:44,490 --> 01:06:47,610
But we'll be seeing back here about two minutes to ten.

588
01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:51,950
Thank you very much. We'll be recessed for a few minutes.

589
01:08:23,860 --> 01:08:31,180
And so, so, sort of, our most valuable resources are, I mean, I was a hard peep.

590
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:37,600
And then, when people would be listed on the bar, it's not necessarily, it's not necessarily.

591
01:08:38,220 --> 01:08:38,320
Yeah.

592
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:45,680
And now, I just tried to do a series of this, and I didn't realize that that's a question.

593
01:08:46,740 --> 01:08:49,080
He's not biased, he's not tearing up any of that.

594
01:08:51,660 --> 01:08:52,980
He's not fighting for it.

595
01:08:53,540 --> 01:08:54,380
This is my point.

596
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:55,180
How do we do this?

597
01:08:58,200 --> 01:08:59,300
It's back and forth.

598
01:09:00,220 --> 01:09:01,720
Why have I been biased?

599
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,560
We talk about it as we go.

600
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,700
We talk about the question or service.

601
01:09:23,540 --> 01:09:31,700
We don't want to be divided, we don't want to be paid for 800 servings, 800 servings.

602
01:10:21,540 --> 01:10:22,940
.

603
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:24,500
.

604
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:27,760
.

605
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,760
.

606
01:11:54,590 --> 01:12:02,510
Wow, we can't sit in the county council's chair.

607
01:12:20,030 --> 01:12:24,010
Okay, we're going to come back, come back to order. It's time.

608
01:12:27,990 --> 01:12:33,950
It's time specific. I forgot. I can't go past that, so we're going to...

609
01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:44,660
I have to bribe them. What's up with that? You didn't have to bribe them.

610
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:55,320
10 a.m.

611
01:13:00,910 --> 01:13:12,030
time specific 10 ten o'clock ordinances we have county development and services

612
01:13:12,030 --> 01:13:18,330
public hearing hold public hearing and adopt a resolution approving gating Hamilton

613
01:13:18,330 --> 01:13:25,790
Hamilton Road in the Goldfields pursuant to California Vehicle Code Section 21101.4.

614
01:13:28,350 --> 01:13:31,050
I guess, Mike, you'll be handling that.

615
01:13:31,970 --> 01:13:35,990
Okay, all right, thank you very much and you're on.

616
01:13:36,690 --> 01:13:40,350
Thank you, Mr. Chair and fellow board members, Mike Lee, can you develop it?

617
01:13:41,370 --> 01:13:45,910
So, Hamilton Road traverses the Yuba Goldfields on the south side of the Yuba River

618
01:13:45,910 --> 01:13:54,270
between Timbeck-2 Road in near Park's Bar over to Hammond's Marksville Road east of Mary'sville.

619
01:13:55,350 --> 01:13:57,570
It is Hammond Road that's not a county maintenance.

620
01:14:02,690 --> 01:14:03,250
Okay.

621
01:14:03,830 --> 01:14:04,530
The answer.

622
01:14:05,610 --> 01:14:08,870
Hammond Road is not a county maintained road but it is a-

623
01:14:08,870 --> 01:14:10,010
Is your mic on?

624
01:14:12,230 --> 01:14:12,790
Okay.

625
01:14:13,590 --> 01:14:13,710
All right.

626
01:14:14,190 --> 01:14:15,830
I can get closer a little closer to him.

627
01:14:15,890 --> 01:14:16,190
Thank you.

628
01:14:16,190 --> 01:14:22,590
So it's not a county maintained road, but it is a public right away as affirmed by the Spirited Court in 1999.

629
01:14:25,030 --> 01:14:35,050
So unfortunately in recent years, scoff laws have frequented the gold fields out there.

630
01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:41,670
There's illegal trespass in areas, lots of illegal littering,

631
01:14:41,670 --> 01:14:52,330
Licit drugs, guns, so, you know, it's been ongoing and continual and getting worse.

632
01:14:52,810 --> 01:14:59,970
A lot of them are for out of town and a lot of the public who likes to eat.

633
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,560
We've utilized the access to the rivers, no longer feel safe doing so because of the conditions out there.

634
01:15:07,700 --> 01:15:12,520
In general, California vehicle code does not allow the gating of public roads.

635
01:15:13,500 --> 01:15:28,780
However, under certain circumstances it is allowed and vehicle code section 21101.4 states that the local authority may by ordinance or resolution temporary close to through traffic.

636
01:15:28,780 --> 01:15:36,440
a highway and jurisdiction when all the following conditions are met and after a public hearing are found to exist.

637
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,520
And those, I'll briefly state what those are.

638
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:58,440
Local authority finds and determines based on recommendation of sheriff's and CHP that the following concerns exist along the portion of the highway recommended for closure, serious and continual criminal activity and illegal dumping, which I've already stated is definitely a big problem out there.

639
01:15:58,440 --> 01:16:00,500
Mike, can I open the public hearing?

640
01:16:00,820 --> 01:16:01,340
You may.

641
01:16:03,620 --> 01:16:05,720
Hopefully I don't have to regurgitate all that again.

642
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:07,500
No, I don't think so.

643
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:11,120
The highway is not designated as a through highway,

644
01:16:11,660 --> 01:16:14,980
vehicular pedestrian traffic on the highway contributes

645
01:16:14,980 --> 01:16:17,320
to the concern described in paragraph one,

646
01:16:17,480 --> 01:16:20,180
and the closure will not substantially adversely affect traffic

647
01:16:20,180 --> 01:16:22,380
flow, safety on the adjacent streets

648
01:16:22,380 --> 01:16:23,700
or on the surrounding neighborhoods.

649
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:29,520
So those conditions are met in this instance.

650
01:16:31,060 --> 01:16:43,520
We have conferred with CHP as well as sheriff, and fishing game, or fish and wildlife, excuse me, I'm from the old time, old school, back when it was fishing game.

651
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,660
And all are in support of the proposed closure.

652
01:16:49,360 --> 01:17:08,640
The code section allows for, it's an 18-month, what they call an 18-month temporary closure that there is the ability to come back with a public hearing to the board and extend that for eight, I believe, 18-month periods in the future, if so desired.

653
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:13,820
At a time, there's no limit to how long we can keep it close though.

654
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:21,420
Well, so we can come back to your board eight times in the future, and each of those times would be another 18 months.

655
01:17:21,860 --> 01:17:28,260
So there is an end date, ultimately a few, but that would be many years down the road.

656
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:38,800
So with that, let's say, I think I've covered everything, and so with that we're with the staff's

657
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:48,320
I'm recommending that the 18-month closure of Hamilton Road be approved by your board after the public hearing.

658
01:17:48,380 --> 01:17:53,880
Okay, would it be possible to tell what led up to this item?

659
01:17:57,580 --> 01:18:01,300
What event happened that brought this all to a head?

660
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,820
I think it's been a continual ongoing issue, as like I mentioned previously,

661
01:18:05,820 --> 01:18:13,140
There's the ongoing illegal activities and the law enforcement is struggling to keep up.

662
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:15,780
There's a limited resource as we all know.

663
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:20,620
And so it's hard to continually monitor and enforce the illegal activities.

664
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:25,900
And so we're looking at this as a remedy for that.

665
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,180
Okay, do we have any public comment on this item?

666
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,140
Through the chair, we have three request to speak cards.

667
01:18:35,340 --> 01:18:45,540
The first for the record, Sandra Calvert submitted a video for the record, which the board has not had a chance to view as it was just submitted to the clerk of the board's office.

668
01:18:46,060 --> 01:18:46,380
Okay.

669
01:18:47,860 --> 01:18:49,320
The second, Mark Henwood.

670
01:18:52,870 --> 01:18:53,470
Okay.

671
01:18:53,470 --> 01:18:53,510
Okay.

672
01:18:54,090 --> 01:18:54,610
Third.

673
01:18:55,530 --> 01:18:56,210
Jeannie Pittman.

674
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:01,420
Has anybody going to speak?

675
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:06,820
I thought so.

676
01:19:14,220 --> 01:19:18,080
Age where I need these sometimes and sometimes I don't, so forget it.

677
01:19:18,420 --> 01:19:19,060
We're all there.

678
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:21,240
Just need your name.

679
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:22,700
Jeannie Pittman.

680
01:19:26,150 --> 01:19:26,530
Mr. Beth.

681
01:19:31,140 --> 01:19:32,040
Ending microphone.

682
01:19:33,140 --> 01:19:33,560
Yes, we did.

683
01:19:34,060 --> 01:19:34,420
Okay.

684
01:19:35,580 --> 01:19:40,600
You want to switch podiums in that way we'll avoid that, but get

685
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:45,640
close to it.

686
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:47,080
Okay, thank you very much.

687
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:47,560
Thank you.

688
01:19:50,460 --> 01:19:58,960
So the resolution put forth on the agenda is speaking in the present terms that may happen

689
01:19:58,960 --> 01:19:59,840
or will happen.

690
01:20:00,020 --> 01:20:02,880
When, in fact, it has been gated for over a month.

691
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:14,500
And I'm wondering under what public agency or whose authority did this, the gates go up?

692
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:18,920
I'm not forward or against it.

693
01:20:19,020 --> 01:20:19,920
I just want it done right.

694
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,220
I live five minutes up the road.

695
01:20:22,580 --> 01:20:31,160
Okay, I think it was because of the action that was taken by some rowdy people that we

696
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,500
had a concern for public safety.

697
01:20:34,420 --> 01:20:41,220
So we acted on that immediate problem and are going through the legal.

698
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,220
If I consider the trial, I'll let the county council to do that.

699
01:20:46,220 --> 01:20:46,780
There

700
01:20:49,500 --> 01:20:51,020
we go, now the green lights back on.

701
01:20:51,480 --> 01:20:54,720
It was, I think, to directly address the question.

702
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,840
It was not an action of the county to put up, erect the gates.

703
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,840
The action item is what's before the board today.

704
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,320
Councillor Neill, I'm not sure if you want to provide any additional clarity on that.

705
01:21:05,940 --> 01:21:11,760
Yes, the county was not responsible for putting in the gate, but once the gate was put in,

706
01:21:12,020 --> 01:21:15,100
it was requested that the county take action, that's what's happening today.

707
01:21:15,100 --> 01:21:17,410
Thank you.

708
01:21:17,670 --> 01:21:27,170
Through the chair, so if this resolution is adopted, will the 18 months then be retro-backed in one month or will the 18 months be effective today?

709
01:21:30,700 --> 01:21:38,120
For the purposes of the legal requirements, the county's taking action today, the 18 months would start after the board takes action.

710
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:39,000
Thank you.

711
01:21:40,060 --> 01:21:47,840
Through the strategic plan, I love and Mr. Messick and I have spoke about this before that there is potential.

712
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:56,340
and it's been brought forward to improve and secure a safe and recreational area through public lands to the rivers in New

713
01:21:56,340 --> 01:22:06,360
of the County. That's spectacular. I really, really do hope this is part of that program because it is a very good

714
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:12,040
asset for New of the County. It's beyond criminal, the videos that I've seen.

715
01:22:14,700 --> 01:22:16,480
I'm not going to tell anybody or even

716
01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:17,800
and suggest how they do their job.

717
01:22:18,220 --> 01:22:23,280
But when we have 500 people do when terrorist type activities.

718
01:22:26,660 --> 01:22:29,280
That's why we're doing it the legal way

719
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:34,440
and we will do our best to make those waterways safe legally.

720
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,520
We can't do the same things they can.

721
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:38,400
Sure.

722
01:22:39,780 --> 01:22:44,980
And I don't want to see Yuba County kick the can down the road.

723
01:22:46,020 --> 01:22:46,940
We won't.

724
01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:51,320
to another area within New York County.

725
01:22:52,100 --> 01:22:57,520
One more thing, and this may be more of a housekeeping and education on my part, but

726
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:04,860
I did notice that the resolution that is on today's agenda, July 25th agenda, also

727
01:23:04,860 --> 01:23:11,540
has now shown up on the July 11th agenda, still dated though July 25th,

728
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:17,160
and the resolution

729
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:20,840
was not originally posted in any way on the July 11th agenda.

730
01:23:23,060 --> 01:23:23,880
Any counsel?

731
01:23:25,660 --> 01:23:26,100
You

732
01:23:31,410 --> 01:23:32,230
could break that thing.

733
01:23:32,430 --> 01:23:33,750
You should have been in an old way up.

734
01:23:33,790 --> 01:23:39,810
It was originally scheduled to go on July 11th, but the resolution wasn't completed until July 25th.

735
01:23:39,990 --> 01:23:45,670
There was an initial opening of the public hearing on that date, and then it was closed because the resolution wasn't prepared.

736
01:23:46,590 --> 01:23:52,550
Okay, but you can understand the confusion of having an item show up after the fact.

737
01:23:53,510 --> 01:23:54,150
Thank you.

738
01:23:54,490 --> 01:23:54,690
Okay.

739
01:23:54,690 --> 01:23:57,890
any further questions? No. Board, I thank you for your time.

740
01:23:58,590 --> 01:24:02,150
Okay. Do we have any further questions from the public?

741
01:24:02,770 --> 01:24:06,530
We have a gentleman there. Yeah, he was number two.

742
01:24:07,330 --> 01:24:08,070
Do you have a card?

743
01:24:11,450 --> 01:24:12,510
State your name, please.

744
01:24:13,390 --> 01:24:17,450
Yes, my name is Mark Hanwood and my family owns the Hanwood Ranch.

745
01:24:17,690 --> 01:24:22,230
We are about 950 acres of property south of the Uber River

746
01:24:22,230 --> 01:24:26,210
and on the Hamilton Road portion of it.

747
01:24:27,210 --> 01:24:29,690
And I'm here to make some positive comments to you guys.

748
01:24:30,190 --> 01:24:35,470
So I'm thrilled that you're actually contemplating closing the road to give yourself an opportunity

749
01:24:35,470 --> 01:24:39,370
to try and resolve a problem that the county has.

750
01:24:40,050 --> 01:24:46,690
And given the current state of situation with no maintenance of the road, which impede law

751
01:24:46,690 --> 01:25:00,930
law enforcement's ability to access the BLM property, and with BLM's ownership of a big chunk of property in the middle of the goal fields without fencing, this will be an ongoing problem for the next eight cycles of your road closure.

752
01:25:01,490 --> 01:25:12,970
So I'm encouraging you guys to take a look at this resource and align it with your county strategic plan, which is to improve river access and opportunities to enjoy natural resources in the county.

753
01:25:12,970 --> 01:25:23,670
This is a big resource, it's been ignored completely for 20 years ever since the road was open, and now you have an opportunity in a controlled situation to actually make some improvements.

754
01:25:24,150 --> 01:25:38,450
And I've been speaking with Supervisor Messer about this and he has some great ideas and I'm sure once the county gets engaged in thinking through what to do with this property and this road and access, you're going to come up with some great ideas.

755
01:25:38,450 --> 01:25:41,190
But in the meantime, road closure is very helpful.

756
01:25:41,350 --> 01:25:43,090
We've been heavily impacted.

757
01:25:43,350 --> 01:25:46,670
We internally call it the Wild West also, by the way.

758
01:25:47,070 --> 01:25:52,050
Because one of our properties is located immediately across from one of the party's

759
01:25:52,050 --> 01:25:55,850
centrals out there, with gunfire occurring at 24 hours a day.

760
01:25:56,270 --> 01:25:59,190
People roaring around in their vehicles all over the place.

761
01:25:59,650 --> 01:26:05,290
We've had people light fires, burn up cars, dump boats in our property.

762
01:26:05,290 --> 01:26:31,450
trust pass on our property, do dumping, so it's time for the closure but it's also time for you to take an active management approach to the resource and see what you can do with it and I think you're going to come up with some great ideas and perhaps have a river rafting run maybe five six miles long, which will attract a huge number of people to the county, the kind of people that you want to come to the county.

763
01:26:31,450 --> 01:26:38,930
Okay, so name it, positive comments, hopefully adopt the ordinance and get to work on actively managing the resource.

764
01:26:39,650 --> 01:26:41,670
So, any questions for me?

765
01:26:42,770 --> 01:26:44,630
Okay, thanks for the opportunity.

766
01:26:46,750 --> 01:26:48,730
All right, any further questions from the public?

767
01:26:49,570 --> 01:26:49,670
No.

768
01:26:51,090 --> 01:26:58,330
Through the chair, for the lady who presented the video that we're not going to watch, can she give us an office of it so that she can have her?

769
01:26:59,590 --> 01:27:02,610
We can take care of that during closed session, I was informed.

770
01:27:04,070 --> 01:27:04,370
Okay.

771
01:27:06,930 --> 01:27:07,390
All right.

772
01:27:07,850 --> 01:27:11,950
We got rules follow and that's why I have a county council down here.

773
01:27:12,770 --> 01:27:16,890
Yeah, that is not a closed session item, so it won't be presented in closed session.

774
01:27:17,050 --> 01:27:18,570
You would be able to view it at a break.

775
01:27:19,770 --> 01:27:21,090
We're going to vote before that, right?

776
01:27:21,430 --> 01:27:21,970
We're going to vote now.

777
01:27:22,290 --> 01:27:22,890
Yes, we're going to.

778
01:27:22,890 --> 01:27:26,710
You want to take a couple minute recess to the chair and let him watch the video.

779
01:27:26,850 --> 01:27:26,970
What?

780
01:27:27,070 --> 01:27:28,190
I'm just saying I represent.

781
01:27:28,350 --> 01:27:29,490
I don't think that's an option.

782
01:27:29,490 --> 01:27:42,710
We need to do that because, you know, this road has been a sore spot with us for many, many years and I think we spent $3 million in legal fees fighting that.

783
01:27:43,930 --> 01:27:44,510
Yes, sir.

784
01:27:44,510 --> 01:27:50,710
So, hey, just to kind of echo what maybe supervisor Fira was saying is that, just to make

785
01:27:50,710 --> 01:27:54,790
sure that if we are not going to view the video at this time that we would allow the

786
01:27:54,790 --> 01:27:58,670
individual to make any public comment, should they wish to do so, I think it's what.

787
01:27:58,930 --> 01:28:02,930
So, Professor Fira was suggesting, and I certainly think that's appropriate personally.

788
01:28:04,150 --> 01:28:05,070
Got to get on the tool.

789
01:28:05,690 --> 01:28:11,370
Yes, if they'd like to make public comment as to what's in the video and give you a synopsis,

790
01:28:11,530 --> 01:28:12,470
there's no issue with that.

791
01:28:13,310 --> 01:28:16,770
Okay, would you like to do we have the lady here?

792
01:28:17,370 --> 01:28:18,970
I do not see her.

793
01:28:19,310 --> 01:28:20,750
She couldn't make it here today.

794
01:28:21,170 --> 01:28:21,870
Oh, okay.

795
01:28:22,010 --> 01:28:22,650
All right.

796
01:28:23,010 --> 01:28:24,290
Well, that's why she sent the video.

797
01:28:25,190 --> 01:28:25,910
She is traveling.

798
01:28:26,230 --> 01:28:27,310
She was provided a link.

799
01:28:27,430 --> 01:28:31,810
I don't know if her timing with where she's at will allow her to speak.

800
01:28:32,370 --> 01:28:33,830
Are there any hands raised on?

801
01:28:34,370 --> 01:28:35,450
No hands raised on.

802
01:28:35,770 --> 01:28:38,070
So she might have a conflict with timing, but.

803
01:28:38,070 --> 01:28:46,050
Okay. Well, she can make a public statement afterwards. I think we know which way we're going to go on this.

804
01:28:47,650 --> 01:28:54,030
All right. No, they're bringing no further comment from the public. We'll close public hearing and bring it back to the board.

805
01:28:55,850 --> 01:28:56,870
For a second.

806
01:28:59,030 --> 01:29:05,210
We have a motion in a second through the chair. Yes. Just make a brief comment. Yes. Okay.

807
01:29:05,210 --> 01:29:05,270
All right.

808
01:29:05,530 --> 01:29:06,270
You'd further comment?

809
01:29:06,670 --> 01:29:06,750
Yep.

810
01:29:07,770 --> 01:29:14,130
Um, you've account is gifted with a huge amount of natural resources that the public would

811
01:29:14,130 --> 01:29:17,210
love to use on an organized platform.

812
01:29:18,780 --> 01:29:27,510
There's been all kinds of conversations about additional bike trails, hiking trails, not even

813
01:29:29,510 --> 01:29:31,810
well beyond the use of the goldfields.

814
01:29:31,830 --> 01:29:35,750
So what's going on out there right now is just plainly not acceptable.

815
01:29:35,750 --> 01:29:40,850
and I think we're on the right track to do something about it and make all these areas,

816
01:29:40,850 --> 01:29:45,550
other areas within the county accessible for the public.

817
01:29:46,470 --> 01:29:51,410
It's pretty easy to look around the state and you'll see great examples of other counties

818
01:29:51,410 --> 01:29:56,510
and state that have done similar things, so it doesn't take a lot of imagination, it just

819
01:29:56,510 --> 01:29:59,790
takes us doing it, so thanks.

820
01:30:00,590 --> 01:30:30,570
Can I change that? I would like to let through the chair. It's probably a proper response, sir. Through the chair. Mr. Messick, to make the motion, I'll second my apologies. It doesn't matter to me. As long as we get it in motion in a second, so. Okay. Through the chair, I just have a quick comment on this as well. I am super passionate about availability of recreation and access along our rivers in Yuba County. I think it's a tremendous asset, both in the gold field as well as

821
01:30:30,570 --> 01:30:33,890
other areas, I know, the starvend and Grazy,

822
01:30:34,110 --> 01:30:35,470
be cherries along the Feather River,

823
01:30:35,870 --> 01:30:38,150
down in my beach, are also a tremendous access.

824
01:30:39,470 --> 01:30:41,530
And I think it's important that that's accessible

825
01:30:41,530 --> 01:30:44,050
to both our residents and our visitors,

826
01:30:44,430 --> 01:30:48,130
however, that has to be utilized in a safe and responsible way.

827
01:30:48,590 --> 01:30:51,090
And when we get to a situation like we have here

828
01:30:51,090 --> 01:30:54,190
in the Goldfields, and like is quickly happening

829
01:30:54,570 --> 01:30:56,690
in other areas of the county as well,

830
01:30:56,770 --> 01:30:59,450
or that is not being utilized in a safe and responsible way,

831
01:30:59,450 --> 01:31:05,910
I think our responsibility to protect the public and to protect those assets is to do exactly what we're doing today.

832
01:31:06,530 --> 01:31:15,270
And so I'm very supportive of it, and I'm very excited that our strategic plan has this as a focus, not only the gold fields, but

833
01:31:15,270 --> 01:31:23,010
other areas of the county as well, so that we can work to develop those in a way that will provide access both to those who live here.

834
01:31:23,810 --> 01:31:28,350
And those who may wish to visit and take advantage of those areas again in a responsible and

835
01:31:28,350 --> 01:31:34,710
safe manner. And so, I'm very excited to take this action today, but then move forward in the future

836
01:31:36,190 --> 01:31:42,290
to really improve and make sure that our community members can enjoy those areas in a safe way.

837
01:31:42,550 --> 01:31:42,610
So,

838
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:45,840
Mr. Bessik.

839
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:52,620
Well, I'll just make the comment to answer Genie's question about the closure of it.

840
01:31:52,740 --> 01:31:58,000
So, I went out there with Sean Pertle who's here and my hat's off to him for everything he's done out there.

841
01:31:58,900 --> 01:32:20,440
Several of the property owners and saw firsthand what was going on out there, they collectively with maybe a nudge decided to close the road and I agreed to put my phone number on the sign and take all the phone calls, which I've got probably 200 numbers saved on my phone.

842
01:32:20,440 --> 01:32:24,380
I'm taking back to people, most people really want to help.

843
01:32:24,700 --> 01:32:27,600
I want to have some town hall meetings for what we do.

844
01:32:28,540 --> 01:32:35,220
And so the answer to your question was the county did not close it, the property owners closed it.

845
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:41,120
I just felt it's my district and I should be the guy to take the phone calls and answer the questions.

846
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:53,740
I have a question maybe if my could answer that for me is that is my understanding that there is no river access from the park's bar bridge that is on private property.

847
01:32:54,340 --> 01:32:55,300
Is that correct?

848
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:00,320
Under the bridge itself should all be state right away.

849
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:05,220
Okay, so people would be able to access the river at that location.

850
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:11,740
There are private properties along, what's the name of that road that accesses on the north side of the river?

851
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:16,720
I'm not sure I can't remember the name of it, but there are, it goes into the Parks Park Quarry, that road.

852
01:33:16,900 --> 01:33:21,300
There are many private properties a lot between that road and the river.

853
01:33:22,060 --> 01:33:27,080
But if they go down that road and get into the state right of way, then they can't access the river there.

854
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:36,740
Okay, I don't know about parking as a little if he could not there is to park down there, but this this is just to make sure that the public is

855
01:33:37,660 --> 01:33:38,140
safe

856
01:33:38,980 --> 01:33:45,060
that we're taking this action, so any further statements from

857
01:33:45,060 --> 01:33:49,280
if I could through the chair and it's just a point of clarification on the motion, right?

858
01:33:49,340 --> 01:33:56,720
Regardless whether it's Supervisor if you're a message, I guess you can work that out on who makes the motion, but the resolution that was in your agenda packet

859
01:33:56,720 --> 01:34:02,660
We just need to make sure it's clear that the findings in that resolution are part of your motion.

860
01:34:03,900 --> 01:34:06,000
That we had it, we held it.

861
01:34:06,020 --> 01:34:08,700
I'm sorry, I retracted the ball of my emotion, it has been used.

862
01:34:15,020 --> 01:34:21,040
So the motion, so in the resolution was attached to the staff report.

863
01:34:21,700 --> 01:34:26,780
We need to make sure that it's clear in the motion that there was a public hearing,

864
01:34:26,780 --> 01:34:34,820
that the provisions of the California Vehicle Code that are referenced in the resolution are satisfied.

865
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:45,400
And that the gating of Hamilton Road would be authorized for an 18 month duration.

866
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:48,540
So let me try it right there.

867
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:56,340
I'll make a, I think I got to hear, I'll make a motion that we gate Hamilton Road

868
01:34:56,340 --> 01:35:05,460
for 18 months with the vehicle based on the findings of the vehicle code 21101.4.

869
01:35:07,460 --> 01:35:08,540
Does that satisfy you?

870
01:35:13,700 --> 01:35:15,700
All right, we have a motion in a second.

871
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:20,540
For the comments from the public, I'll need a roll call vote.

872
01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:22,600
Supervisor Vazquez.

873
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:23,100
Yes.

874
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:24,320
Supervisor Blazer.

875
01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:25,200
Yes.

876
01:35:25,700 --> 01:35:26,700
Supervisor Führer.

877
01:35:26,700 --> 01:35:26,860
Yes.

878
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:28,040
Supervisor Bradford.

879
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:28,340
Yes.

880
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:29,460
Supervisor Messick.

881
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:29,720
Yes.

882
01:35:30,100 --> 01:35:30,620
Motion passes.

883
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:32,860
Okay, thank you.

884
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:41,600
All right, our next item's time specific at 11 o'clock, and we

885
01:35:43,710 --> 01:35:44,950
want to go into closed session.

886
01:35:45,930 --> 01:35:50,390
All right, let me talk to Mr. Pertles here for a second.

887
01:35:50,930 --> 01:35:53,250
Okay, so are we taking another five minute recess then?

888
01:35:53,810 --> 01:35:54,770
No, why not?

889
01:35:55,570 --> 01:35:55,910
Okay.

890
01:35:56,550 --> 01:35:58,350
You know, we've got a lot of time.

891
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:18,520
Testing, still on,

892
01:57:42,410 --> 01:57:45,770
he's on, and then to get him off, normally you,

893
01:57:53,440 --> 01:57:59,220
so see, it's on. And let's say he finishes talking, so he goes ahead,

894
01:58:01,720 --> 01:58:04,220
it wasn't, you know. Look at see,

895
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:14,400
I'm gonna turn it off.

896
01:58:17,250 --> 01:58:18,190
Didn't go off again.

897
02:13:27,570 --> 02:13:30,150
We'll be about five more minutes, closed session, we'll finish.

898
02:24:58,960 --> 02:25:01,560
Now, special presentations,

899
02:25:57,090 --> 02:26:00,750
special presentations, the first one being.

900
02:26:02,950 --> 02:26:04,170
Is this, to

901
02:26:17,420 --> 02:26:20,540
this name, but we did a deputy courtesy.

902
02:26:24,860 --> 02:26:28,360
Is our deputy here? There he is. What

903
02:26:32,710 --> 02:26:33,510
did they do this?

904
02:26:35,680 --> 02:26:40,620
Because there's so many of us that have kids. This scares the heck out of us.

905
02:26:42,760 --> 02:26:46,400
Let's see. The Board of Supervisors, certificate of recognition,

906
02:26:46,400 --> 02:26:50,980
Resignate recognition, how do I pronounce your name?

907
02:26:52,040 --> 02:26:52,220
Chicago.

908
02:26:52,760 --> 02:26:53,240
Okay.

909
02:26:53,660 --> 02:26:54,440
That's the word.

910
02:26:58,700 --> 02:27:00,500
Deputy Michael Chicago key.

911
02:27:01,120 --> 02:27:08,560
Junior for your heroic actions regarding a one-year-old infant was having trouble breathing.

912
02:27:09,620 --> 02:27:10,960
A June 22nd,

913
02:27:14,270 --> 02:27:19,350
which brings honor to yourself, your profession, your department, and you be county.

914
02:27:20,170 --> 02:27:29,830
We want to know that it's a board and as a county we support you 100% and thank you very much for saving his life.

915
02:27:49,300 --> 02:27:55,380
All right, we're going to have the floor down by the flag if that's okay here.

916
02:27:55,500 --> 02:27:55,920
We

917
02:28:42,890 --> 02:28:48,830
have a recognition office of Assemblyman Gallagher.

918
02:28:49,950 --> 02:28:55,050
Present a Proclamation of Public Works Director Dan Peterson for his years of service.

919
02:28:55,050 --> 02:28:57,790
Do we have anybody from Gallagher's office here?

920
02:28:59,170 --> 02:29:03,110
Through the chair, there is a video for officer Tarkutiki.

921
02:31:34,960 --> 02:31:35,980
Thank

922
02:31:48,400 --> 02:32:17,120
you, Mr. Chair and Board. And I'm Julia Cordy. I'm with the Office of Assembly Member James Gallagher. And I'm here this morning on behalf of the Assembly Member and Senator Roger Nilo. It is an honor to be here. It's been a privilege to work with Dan for a number of years as he's worked very diligently not only in Yuba County, but prior in Sutter County. Not only to, I would say, improve and expand

923
02:32:17,120 --> 02:32:21,980
and infrastructure, but to do so with public safety and community safety in mind.

924
02:32:22,820 --> 02:32:27,340
It's been an honor to be the point of contact for letters of support, for

925
02:32:27,340 --> 02:32:33,040
grant applications for Yuba County for community safety, school, access,

926
02:32:33,360 --> 02:32:36,480
safety grants that he and his department have applied for.

927
02:32:37,920 --> 02:32:43,400
So, it's very bittersweet for your retirement because it's been a pleasure to work with you all these years.

928
02:32:43,400 --> 02:32:47,340
but we wish you the best of luck and a very happy retirement.

929
02:33:14,470 --> 02:33:20,920
Read all the whereas and what for us here last year.

930
02:33:21,180 --> 02:33:21,700
You

931
02:33:26,760 --> 02:33:28,100
should have to let him go.

932
02:33:29,580 --> 02:33:32,540
County of you with board of the Supervisor's Proclamation,

933
02:33:33,820 --> 02:33:36,620

02:52:57,980 --> 02:53:05,380
But just quickly, and the county has been wonderful to me for the last 16-plus years, and one

1097
02:53:05,380 --> 02:53:11,420
of the milestones was, of course, the 2017, evacuating everybody, and just working for a county

1098
02:53:11,420 --> 02:53:18,240
You see people leading as fast as they can while county employees are rushing in as fast as they can to this building.

1099
02:53:18,940 --> 02:53:26,320
It was an honor to be a part of that and there were many iterations of that throughout the years of just watching people step up telling the story of the county.

1100
02:53:26,500 --> 02:53:30,860
So I appreciate being a part of that, looking forward to seeing so many more time.

1101
02:53:31,000 --> 02:53:37,920
My kids, Dan and Stephanie, we're watching right now somewhere out there and the grandkids and my wife Jamie's here and I appreciate that.

1102
02:53:38,080 --> 02:53:40,560
So anyway, thank you very much for the good years.

1103
02:53:40,560 --> 02:53:41,240
If

1104
02:54:27,350 --> 02:54:34,670
I could through the chair, I'm not, I'm putting Dan on the spot, but I know we, we didn't give an opportunity to speak yet.

1105
02:54:34,890 --> 02:54:37,250
You have some final words of wisdom for the audience, Dan?

1106
02:54:39,240 --> 02:54:40,560
I'm sorry, Dan.

1107
02:54:41,620 --> 02:54:49,460
You know, this individual just helped the public so much in the last couple of issues of the appeal

1108
02:54:49,460 --> 02:54:56,280
Democrat when he described the changes to be made in West Linda in all of her for drainage.

1109
02:54:57,040 --> 02:55:04,320
Everybody's been yelling and screaming about no drainage and this man made it happen.

1110
02:55:05,180 --> 02:55:10,380
Well, I was in a perfect environment to help make things happen.

1111
02:55:11,040 --> 02:55:13,320
But it all starts from the top and works its way down.

1112
02:55:14,280 --> 02:55:17,200
County administrators, the board of supervisors.

1113
02:55:18,100 --> 02:55:22,740
And in the words of former supervisor Randy Fletcher, what can we do?

1114
02:55:22,980 --> 02:55:23,920
I took that to heart.

1115
02:55:23,920 --> 02:55:28,000
This has been an unprecedented time in the past 10 years.

1116
02:55:28,560 --> 02:55:30,860
A lot of money is available out there in grants.

1117
02:55:31,340 --> 02:55:35,740
And we have a perfect union with the Yuba Water Agency that provides local cost shares,

1118
02:55:36,240 --> 02:55:38,740
which has enabled us to be extremely competitive.

1119
02:55:39,400 --> 02:55:44,400
And everybody I think knows, goes without saying that the entire public works department

1120
02:55:45,000 --> 02:55:48,860
has a passion for serving the people of our county.

1121
02:55:49,520 --> 02:55:53,640
And my particular passion is making sure that kids don't have to walk to school down the middle of the street

1122
02:55:53,640 --> 02:55:56,540
You done a rainy day, so we're making the difference there.

1123
02:55:56,980 --> 02:55:57,360
Thank you.

1124
02:55:57,680 --> 02:55:58,160
Thank you.

1125
02:56:34,350 --> 02:56:38,230
Now, I think that's it with the special presentations.

1126
02:56:38,610 --> 02:56:42,550
We've done the correspondence and board the staff member reports.

1127
02:56:42,870 --> 02:56:48,130
I think we're going to, we've got to go close if you want.

1128
02:56:50,990 --> 02:56:57,510
Okay, we'll do a recess 15 minutes to congratulate these individuals and

1129
02:56:57,510 --> 02:57:03,250
and say hello and help yourself to some refreshment.

1130
03:24:48,590 --> 03:24:51,270
Closed session, two items to do.

1131
03:24:53,750 --> 03:24:54,550
Closed session.

1132
03:42:30,030 --> 03:42:33,500
Okay, we're done, the lady.

1133
03:42:41,160 --> 03:42:42,260
All the fund is gone,

1134
03:42:47,360 --> 03:42:48,520
adjourned with that. Food

1135
03:42:52,620 --> 03:42:52,980
bar.

1136
03:42:56,720 --> 03:42:59,600
Not a big beer drinker, but if anybody wants to go dollar beer,

1137
03:43:05,960 --> 03:43:26,640
they plan out at our ballpark today, right? That's tonight, tomorrow. Okay. Yeah, you know, it's, I'd go by the team of beer, but if I could tomorrow. All right, we need to report out. No reportable action, Mr. Chair. This meeting is adjourned.

1138
03:43:34,400 --> 03:43:40,040
All right, thank you very much for the entertainment.

1139
03:43:54,200 --> 03:43:55,040
I

1140
03:44:06,690 --> 03:44:08,670
think that meeting went well.

1141
03:44:08,670 --> 03:44:08,750
Oh,

1142
03:44:53,950 --> 03:44:55,090
reporting stuff.
