Mindi addressed the Board and said this an opportunity for the Board to learn more about four of the public safety departments - District Attorney, Probation, Public Defender and Sheriff. In ther packet there is information about types of revenue streams these departments receive and the amount if those revenue streams they expend on an annual basis.

Supervisor Saylor had question about total amount for all funds? Total is $71 Million including general fund amount. Mindi - the Board must appropriate the expenditure of all those funds.

Supervisor Rexroad had a comment - his worry is that this is going to put in the tactical plan and they won't be able to afford it.

Traci Olson addressed the Board. Explained how Marjorie took the lead on the tactical plan and AB 109. As the tactical plan has evolved have decided that the existing tactical plan is not as effective. Every safety head went over the tactical plan and now have before the Board revisions of what is more effective. Supervisor Provenza - feels that we all have to work towards the same goals. Supervisor McGowan - the board is trying to get better on direction, they want to get to a place where the tactical plan is a true description of what they want t get done. Encouraging in reconciling individual departments, to ultimately allocate resources to public safety. Would like to see a change in the way we all work together.

Supervisor Rexroad - will we have measures of success by October 22nd - Tracie they know they aren't complete. Wanted to get a draft before October 22nd workshop to start the discussion. Marlon Yarber addressed the Board - feel it was a critical need to add more deputies. Supervisor Rexroad feel is a major plan. Supervisor Provenza - there are other cost to serve that population. Supervisor Rexroad would like to really look at the numbers to make sure we are really safe. he needs good data. Supervisor Provenza - based on the behavior of a person they can go to less supervision - Marlon feels that in the incentives part they haven't made that much progress. Hope to make a full process for the sanctions.

Supervisor Saylor had comments - response to board ? of what are the needs would like to see a rich assesssment of how what do they plan to achive, measure of performance, criminal activity in county. 1. data on service and effectiveness, 2. Criminal justice practices objectives, based on practices and performance measures why are more employees added. Collaboration across agencies - would like to see some additional work in victim services.

Supervisor Saylor take on crime free communities is that they don't want to be hurt - asking for them to look at what is truly what we need to have a crime free communities. We should be looking as we address the overall needs of our community. Would like every to keep in mind that goal is broader in reducing crime. Supervisor Provenza asking if this overlap with other goals. Patrick said they look at other goals and they can put some more effort into looking into that.

Received information regarding public safety funding, goals and tactical plan items.

Att. D. Organic Farms

Att. E. Staff Report 8-6-13

Att. F. Letters

Eric addressed the Board - Since August 6 staff has gone back and made some changes to the second public review draft. There are some relative few changes between 1st draft published in May and the 2nd one published this week. Purpose of second workshop is to continue the issues that were left off during the last meeting. Its also an opportunity for the Board 3-4 version of the zoning update and would like to make sure its accurate. the release of zoning maps were published since last meeting this is the proposed zoning, not rezoning properties - all of the proposed zoning has been zoned accordingly to the general plan of 2009. there are also maps for Esparto, Dunnigan so they can see what the existing zoning is.

There was a request from Supervisor Saylor for Organic Farms - there's about 75 parcels considered organic acreage. concentrated around woodland, Davis and Capay valley. At this time staff is not agreeable in creating a new zoning for new farmers. Special event zoning is still a important part, they still would like to get more direction on this.

Request from Supervisor Provenza - Also included monitoring for wind turbines. consider if you would like to modify ordinance. Changes to airport layout zone - a lot of resident concerns. 7th issue - Willow Bank and El Macero - Plan to work with citizens. Matt- is the Farm Bureau commenting on this new issue or the old issue. Eric they are commenting on the old issue, some of the comments have been take care of on the second review draft. e.i Animal numbers, also there seems to be some confusion on minimal parcel - when you have new parcels in Ag you need to have a minimal parcel. Farm Bureau on board with Williamson Act.

Supervisor Chamberlain question on adequate sub divisions, have we done anything about adequate sub divisions like other counties? Eric said this is a very complicated issue. Jim - on the cluster housing, on davis 2x2 there was some commenting if we can get solano county to work wih us seems like there is one way that we can do - Eric we should consider that cause that was not thought about 3 years ago when the ordinance was created. cordination with city's ppw for land that is close to the city.

McGowan - how are you taking local general plans from various communities like clarksburg- Eric said he's been going to advisory committees meetings. 2. Ag ordinance for clarksburg - some concerns they have are not coming up Eric they will look into fema flood zones. Saylor - what's the game plan? Eric said just would like to know the concerns from the Board. Housing element needs to be, bringing amendments to zoning code related to the housing element. Zoning code needs to be done by the end of the year if not by spring they'll receive a letter from the State asking where it is.

Wind Turbine Issue - other counties have gone with the standard, turbines are getting bigger and bigger, incase a blade falls out it would fall far away from homes. Issue of agriculture - concerned that all the changes they are talking about would be an like an all fits all. Doesn't feel that is needed for farmers to make a certain amount of $. Would like to know more option for minimal parcels and not say a minimal parcel is X. Eric said they have developed many numbers for the A1 Zone. some of the land that is being rezoned from the A1 zone. all zone that are on the Williamson Act will still remain in that zone. A1 zone are about 20 acres.

David Morrison addressed the Board asked for clarification of what Supervisor Saylor is trying to achieve. interested in reverse agriculture economy. Doesn't want an all fits model to work for both larger acre farmers and small acre farmers. Supervisor McGowan - is the allowance of property that we are talking about. Supervisor Rexroad - cares about restrictions about building on parcels. Eric - use permit on building building on small acreage then we really need to go back and fix ordinance.

Public Hearing opened - Gary Mattesson and Frank Sieferman Sr. addressed the Board. Mr. Mattesson talked about wind energy ordinance and clustered housing. Mr. Sieferman asked some questions? asked how many people are aware of what the draft says, would like that before this is approved there is more input from agriculture people in county. wondering if its possible to inform people of this, so they can get involve.

Supervisor Provenza - liked idea of informing people of what is planned to do. in case of 70% farm land would like to hear back in way of being more creative for the incubator farm process. Supervisor Saylor would like it a little more broader. Eric there are about 10,000 parcels in the incorporated area about 6,000 of those parcels are Ag. They have a website that people can access, Eric said that they're open to more suggestions of how to contact more people, said it is impossible to mail out notices. David said that they have made a presentation to Farm Bureau and also have made several presentation to other groups that have been working with Farm Bureau. Supervisor Saylor suggesting an Ad Hoc committee to look at this Supervisor Saylor and Supervisor Provenza would be on this committee.

Concern about Swanson Hawk nest and bats. They have documented about 5 kills but any of these were protected species. if a Swanson Hawk was found dead they there is a procedure that they have to go thru. Supervisor Provenza ? on special events - have x amount of people to determine on environmental impacts, have changed a lot of the zoning permits to fall under zoning administrator.

Gary Matteson and Fran Sieferman Sr. addressed the Board of Supervisors on this item.

Conducted second workshop to review the public review draft of the Zoning Code Update.

Sup. Provenza arrived at 1:31 pm. Patrick addressed the Board. Spoke about increasing revenue to repair roads. Yolo Transportation District is the entity to make this happen. Matt wanted Pat to address some line items - BOS staffing - what is this for? Mindi - repair inequities (page 782), funding Asst. Deputy in Dist. 5. Two districts not filled the Asst. Deputy spot but now they have in Dist. 5. Matt - question on the Delta funding. Are we getting bang for the buck on this program? Mike addressed the Board in regards to this item. Matt thinks we need to do an evaluation of where we are annually.

Don - on the BOS - how is that lump sum split up? Salary portion - $40,000 remainder of the year. Principle of transparency is important here per Don. Matt does not support this action. Matt is referring to someone in Dist. 5 office is moving to a full-time position. Question about Assessor staffing - Don. Approved a position in Assessor's Office. He does not feel their office is efficient - feels they are creating their own work. Don is not in favor of funding another position in their office. Mike - wants more of an explanation. Pat - Joel is here. Don - have Joel work with CAO's office and defer the added position for now. Pat - if full business review completed for this office, then would their office still recommend filling? Pat said that no.

Don - would like to add $5000 to the garden item. Will be part of vote at end. Don - $800,000 - HR and financial products - what is the total cost? Once the RFP comes in, we'll have of an idea of cost. Do we have a computer replacement policy? Pat - this was part of the 12/13 budget. Pat - Sheriff's did not opt into this computer replacement. Is the $100,000 the right amount for computer replacement? Wants to know if there is a benefit to paying the lump sum vs. being part of the computer replacement policy. Pat will bring this back to the Board.

Jill addressed the Board on the Indigent Health Program. CMSP county. $7.2 mil budget. Actual amt. was $7.1, which was below budget, first time in 7 years in came under.

Pat - next steps discussed. Jim- Pomona Funds - allocate to mental health services. Matt - should be kept in the Gen. Fund and shouldn't be limited to health issues, as this fund is the result of a lawsuit about health. General guidelines at this time.

opened p/h. Joel addressed the Board. Huge liability with assessment appeals. Risk of losing tax dollars. Duane - how come taxpayers cannot just sit down with the Assessor's office and work something out? Don - what are the level appeals in other jurisdictions? What is the timeline? Creating solutions early on? Are taxpayers be taxed fairly? Joel - comply with law and realistic accurate values. 16,000 properties still on Prop 8 that still need review annually. Spoke about business process review - the assessment appeals process was not even included on the process. Waste of time spending time on the business process review. Deveron Ford, Chief Deputy Assessor, addressed the Board. Spoke about informal review procedure, which is on the website. A lot of value questions are resolved in this informal review. Appeals are for those who disagree with the analysis and results. Biggest load is on commercial appeals. Don - have CAO work with Assessor about adding additional positions. Pat - they are recommending staffing to meet their current needs.

Mike addressed the Board on the Bus. practices were practiced. Joel - efficiencies identified are not significant to reduce the need for staff. Mike - have the conversation with Pat how to become more efficient. Then after that process, x number of people are needed, he wants to hear about this. Jim, even if an efficiency could be implemented, it might not be enough to not add a position. Mike - not the question that people in his office aren't efficient and hard working, but trying to figure out what the best course of action.
Closed p/h.

Pat - 2nd rec. action - adding $5000 for signage and related items to the garden, deferring Assessor positions, Sheriff computers - appropriate funds for the computer replacement. restricted that they be part of the computer replacement program. Undersheriff Lopez addressed the Board. Need some desktop and patrol car computers. Easier to do one-time purchase rather than spread out over a few years. Funds being used from public safety funds. Don - using the $100,000 towards computers instead of perhaps towards the landfill loan payment. Don - not compelled to approve this purchase. Pat - actually amount requested from Sheriff is less than what was asked for. Tom - willing to look in the computer replacement policy program.
Don/Jim 5/0 to approve motion included all first four recommendations.

2:58 was when the recom. action was approved - Pat provided a summary.

Don - Spoke about the possible re-use of the County Courthouse. HMSA funds - lead by Lisa Baker. Also spoke about the jail. Mike - facilities - are we looking at non-county use at the Courthouse? Mindi addressed the Board. Feasibility study will be outlining some uses of this building. This will be coming to the Board to be discussed.

In 2009 the legislature approved an 11 billion water bond that has been moved from election to election and now it has been differ until the Nov. 2014 general election. There is some concern as to whether this bond is liable and will pass passed on the huge amount being budgeted.

Since this item was put into routing process, they have been assured by Senator Wolk that bond wont be moving this legislative session. There will be a informational hearing on September 24th where there will be discussing more details. Action on the bond bills which replaces the 2009 bond will be differed until the legistature resumes January.

AB 1331 by Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee. SB 42 is intercounter part by Senator Wolk is a $5.6 billion bill, allocates about $1.5b to drinking water and integrated water regional plants, $2b to water quality and water shed protection, $1.3b to flood control and storm water management, $1b to system water operations. AB 1331- allocates about $1b to water quality, $1b to delta sustainability, $1.5b to each water sheds, water quality, integrated regional water magement plants, and water recycling and $1.5b to storage. Key differences Senator Wolks gives more direction of where founds are going. Wolk Bill does more funding for delta sustainabilty.

Chris feels that the Wolk's bill does a much better job in adhering to the Boards priorites. Chris feels that SB 42 should be supported and AB 1331 should be supported only if amended to include consultation with local governments, agricultural and economical sustainability funding

Since these won't be approved until Jan. 2014 Chris feels that a letter should be sent supporting SB 42 and concerns with direction of AB 1331.

Supervisor Provenza concerned about language for funding for CDB projects. P - S 4-0 Chris add to delegate this issue to delta subcommittee since supervisor Rexroad has a conflict of interest. add concern of this for water legislation. Supervisor Saylor would like to see letters that are sent and would like to have continued focus. interested of Water Resources Association intake. They met yesterday but based on what has happened at the legislation they differed from addressing this item and taking a position.

Motion to Minute Order No. 13-115: Approved recommended action and directed staff to delegate this issue to the Delta Subcommittee. Moved by Provenza, seconded by Saylor.

Vote to Minute Order No. 13-115: Approved recommended action and directed staff to delegate this issue to the Delta Subcommittee. (Approved)
