24. 9:00 A.M. - Agriculture
Workshop on agricultural mitigation and enhancing the economic output of agriculture. (No general fund impact) (Young)
Att. A. Workshop Presentation
Att. B. Long-Term Tactical Plan
Att. C. Mitigation Memo
John Young addressed the Board - gave some background. 1st speaker - Monica Hernandez and Libby O'Sullivan - SACOG
How much acreage is needed per pound of beef. Potatoes are the #1 consumed vegetables. Need 1.2 million acres to raise potatoes to meet demand. Have maps and stats to show how much acreage is going to be needed for farming to feed the population. Matt - what exactly is our region. 486,000 acres in ag production in Yolo County - only consuming 2% of what is produced. Concept of food shed is currently in production, but have not been used by anyone yet.
Phil Hogan addressed the Board on the soils. 250,000 acres are prime farmland in Yolo County. Tool on website that allows one to check the type of soil they have. Web address on the slide.
Michele Clark addressed the Board on Farmland Preservation. Primary focus is to conserve farmland. Conservation Easement info. About 10,000 acres under permanent protection. Benefits - cost efficient way to protect farmland. One time payment to the landowner. Reduces sale value for next generation. Permanent restriction - not enough money from Yolo Land Trust to pay folks - rely on public dollars to pay for this. Program is under USDA - annual contribution - in 2010 was $500 million for the whole state. 50% match. Yolo County has been very successful in obtaining these funds. Also uses City of Davis money - measure O - $17.5 million over 30 years being generated - using on 27/29 corridor. Part of conservation portfolio is mitigation. This doesn't cost the land trust any money. Problem is that there is not enough funds to pay all those who want to put their land into easement. Talked about other counties using taxes to increase funds. Keys to future - increase of permanent source of funding, and encourage public discussion.
Don - these are permanent? Yes. Only way to terminate contract is to go to court. Really looking at minimum of 80 acres. Tax credit question? Allows for a donation to count as a charitable contribution.
Louise Jackson addressed the Board on Climate Change Mitigation through Farmland Preservation. Higher winter temperatures and higher nighttime temperatures. How different crops are affected by uncertainty of climate.
Phil Pogledich addressed the Board. pm Ag Mitigation thru Farmland Preservation. Would need to look at the whole policy - steps to get there so that mitigation doesn't compromise class I soils.
Jack Rexroad addressed the Board during public comment. Urges board to preserve prime soil by all means possible. Solar farms should be restricted to non-tillable land. Williamson Act should be maintained or its equivalent. The Co. seal depicts three things-education, agriculture.
John Young addressed the Board - ag mitigation study - seems to be an important topic for further discussion.
Take break for lunch at 11:56 a.m. - will return with the rest of the presentation after lunch.
Meeting went into Recess
Meeting Reconvened
Called meeting back to order at 1:43 p.m.
Resolution recognizing Ag Week presented by Supervisor Provenza.
The following individuals addressed the Board of Supervisors on this item: Jack Rexroad, Russ Lester and Chris Turkovich.
Conducted workshop on agricultural mitigation and enhancing the economic output of agriculture.
The Board recessed into Closed Session at 11:56 a.m. and reconvened at 1:43 p.m. All members were present except for Supervisor McGowan. Chair Provenza presided.
Chris Turkovich addressed the Board. Need enough producers in the area to keep it a viable operation. Spoke of the bureaucracy they have gone thru to get a winery permit. Suggest less red tape - less regulations. Help those navigate the system.
25. 1:30 P.M. - Yolo Emergency Communications Agency
Receive update on the Yolo Emergency Communications Agency. (No general fund impact) (Ray Groom)
Ray Groom addressed the Board. Received update on the Yolo Emergency Communications Agency. Everything is consolidated in one center. Do not cover dispatch services for the City of Davis and UCD. Is working with UCD on this. Formed in 1985. Financially supported ($4.4 million staff of 40 - grants help pay for some of this) by those cities they serve by allocation. Working with Patty Wong on directing some of those non-emergency numbers to the 211 service.
Radios - main site - new tower. Other places - put in new towers or obtained towers. All sites have been upgraded. Another tower going in in Sacramento. Will be able to communicate with them easily.
Received update on the Yolo Emergency Communications Agency.

Regular Agenda
26. Introductions.
A. Yolo County Librarian Patty Wong, recipient of the 2012 American Library Association Equality Award. (Supervisor Provenza)
Supervisor Provenza presented resolution honoring Supervisor Chamberlain as 2011 Agriculturist of the Year.
Les Nester addressed the Board. Critically important to preserve ag land. Encourages YC to partner with Solano in resurrecting the Farmbudsman position.
Frank Sieferman Sr. addressed the Board.
John Young addressed the Board.
Chuck Dudley addressed the Board on the Ag Economy - Growers Perspective. What about counties on the other side of the river? Concerns: FEMA, Increasing the bypass, Central Valley Regional flood program and its impact on the Sutter and Colusa Basins. Maintenance of a viable ag industry requires food processors close by. Sup. Rexroad - what is the barrier preventing processors from locating here? When it gets expensive to build something, that could be issue. Also said you need a market in order to build a production plant.
Frank Sieferman, Sr. addressed the Board representing the Landowners Perspective. Need to protect the land.
Mark Wilson addressed the Board - Clarksburg Perspective. Concerned about the Bay Delta Plan. Removing impediments has helped his business. Were the sugar beet capital but now they are doing more wineries. Could use more transportation by truck but need better ways to get in and out of Clarksburg. The industry is short of tank space. Need a place that is on a 200 year flood protection. Need better transportation and better flood protection.
Thomas Nelson - representing Capay Valley Perspective. He is an aggregator -working with 35 other farmers. Ag culture business zone - process, storing and distributing farm products. Last year a meat packaging co. opened up.
Wes Ervin addressed the Board regarding the AFA and County Perspective. Recent successes in the food chain. Renaissance of building in many segments of the vertical integration. Addressed challenges - flooding in the bypass, water transporting south, global warming, roads, solar and wind. Pro-active support - spoke of UC Davis hub - energy hub - consolidating food systems in a single location. These technologies for the future will be coming out of here. Farmbudsman - the larger farming operations hired professionals to work thru the regulations. However, the smaller farmer who is doing it himself does not have this advantage. A Farmbudsman is the answer for this issue. Clearly be a way for the small farmer to make progress.
Monica Hernandez addressed the Board to speak about the Next Economy.
John wrapped up the presentation - 4 items need to be in term tactical plan - 1) support farmbudsman position 2) consolidation 3) Framers' school 4) Ag mitigation study. Need precise plans to protect our best ag land - Chair - also impt. to have value added support for the farmers. Have to move forward on both. John - 3 year rollout on the tactile plan - Don would like specific items explained when they would be rolled out. Short list (above) is what they are pursuing out of a long list. Don would like time frame.

Also discussed impact parole violations are on the jail. How to best meet treatment needs of their clients. Jim - would you be able to bring back a recommendation to the Board? Yes, they will. $10,000 - some folks falling thru the cracks - what services need to be provided - decided some needs to be provided - using the $10,000 to do this. Band-Aid to bridge the gap - more urgent cases, like homelessness. Duane asked about vocational training - response is that this has been identified as a priority but it has not been instigated it.
Don - asked about the $180,000 savings. Likes Shasta County's approach - money allocated as follows: 1/3 probation, 1/3 community based treatment and 1/3 sheriff.
p/c - Linda Staniosis addressed the Board. YC has the opportunity to make a difference - don't want people going back to prison, which is the how the State did it. Need money for treatment services.

Att. A. Workshop Presentation
Att. B. Long-Term Tactical Plan
Att. C. Mitigation Memo
John Young addressed the Board - gave some background. 1st speaker - Monica Hernandez and Libby O'Sullivan - SACOG
How much acreage is needed per pound of beef. Potatoes are the #1 consumed vegetables. Need 1.2 million acres to raise potatoes to meet demand. Have maps and stats to show how much acreage is going to be needed for farming to feed the population. Matt - what exactly is our region. 486,000 acres in ag production in Yolo County - only consuming 2% of what is produced. Concept of food shed is currently in production, but have not been used by anyone yet.
Phil Hogan addressed the Board on the soils. 250,000 acres are prime farmland in Yolo County. Tool on website that allows one to check the type of soil they have. Web address on the slide.
Michele Clark addressed the Board on Farmland Preservation. Primary focus is to conserve farmland. Conservation Easement info. About 10,000 acres under permanent protection. Benefits - cost efficient way to protect farmland. One time payment to the landowner. Reduces sale value for next generation. Permanent restriction - not enough money from Yolo Land Trust to pay folks - rely on public dollars to pay for this. Program is under USDA - annual contribution - in 2010 was $500 million for the whole state. 50% match. Yolo County has been very successful in obtaining these funds. Also uses City of Davis money - measure O - $17.5 million over 30 years being generated - using on 27/29 corridor. Part of conservation portfolio is mitigation. This doesn't cost the land trust any money. Problem is that there is not enough funds to pay all those who want to put their land into easement. Talked about other counties using taxes to increase funds. Keys to future - increase of permanent source of funding, and encourage public discussion.
Don - these are permanent? Yes. Only way to terminate contract is to go to court. Really looking at minimum of 80 acres. Tax credit question? Allows for a donation to count as a charitable contribution.
Louise Jackson addressed the Board on Climate Change Mitigation through Farmland Preservation. Higher winter temperatures and higher nighttime temperatures. How different crops are affected by uncertainty of climate.
Phil Pogledich addressed the Board. pm Ag Mitigation thru Farmland Preservation. Would need to look at the whole policy - steps to get there so that mitigation doesn't compromise class I soils.
Jack Rexroad addressed the Board during public comment. Urges board to preserve prime soil by all means possible. Solar farms should be restricted to non-tillable land. Williamson Act should be maintained or its equivalent. The Co. seal depicts three things-education, agriculture.
John Young addressed the Board - ag mitigation study - seems to be an important topic for further discussion.
Take break for lunch at 11:56 a.m. - will return with the rest of the presentation after lunch.

Chris Turkovich addressed the Board. Need enough producers in the area to keep it a viable operation. Spoke of the bureaucracy they have gone thru to get a winery permit. Suggest less red tape - less regulations. Help those navigate the system.
25. 1:30 P.M. - Yolo Emergency Communications Agency
Receive update on the Yolo Emergency Communications Agency. (No general fund impact) (Ray Groom)
Ray Groom addressed the Board. Received update on the Yolo Emergency Communications Agency. Everything is consolidated in one center. Do not cover dispatch services for the City of Davis and UCD. Is working with UCD on this. Formed in 1985. Financially supported ($4.4 million staff of 40 - grants help pay for some of this) by those cities they serve by allocation. Working with Patty Wong on directing some of those non-emergency numbers to the 211 service.
Radios - main site - new tower. Other places - put in new towers or obtained towers. All sites have been upgraded. Another tower going in in Sacramento. Will be able to communicate with them easily.

26. Introductions.
A. Yolo County Librarian Patty Wong, recipient of the 2012 American Library Association Equality Award. (Supervisor Provenza)
Supervisor Provenza presented resolution honoring Supervisor Chamberlain as 2011 Agriculturist of the Year.
Les Nester addressed the Board. Critically important to preserve ag land. Encourages YC to partner with Solano in resurrecting the Farmbudsman position.
Frank Sieferman Sr. addressed the Board.
John Young addressed the Board.
Chuck Dudley addressed the Board on the Ag Economy - Growers Perspective. What about counties on the other side of the river? Concerns: FEMA, Increasing the bypass, Central Valley Regional flood program and its impact on the Sutter and Colusa Basins. Maintenance of a viable ag industry requires food processors close by. Sup. Rexroad - what is the barrier preventing processors from locating here? When it gets expensive to build something, that could be issue. Also said you need a market in order to build a production plant.
Frank Sieferman, Sr. addressed the Board representing the Landowners Perspective. Need to protect the land.
Mark Wilson addressed the Board - Clarksburg Perspective. Concerned about the Bay Delta Plan. Removing impediments has helped his business. Were the sugar beet capital but now they are doing more wineries. Could use more transportation by truck but need better ways to get in and out of Clarksburg. The industry is short of tank space. Need a place that is on a 200 year flood protection. Need better transportation and better flood protection.
Thomas Nelson - representing Capay Valley Perspective. He is an aggregator -working with 35 other farmers. Ag culture business zone - process, storing and distributing farm products. Last year a meat packaging co. opened up.
Wes Ervin addressed the Board regarding the AFA and County Perspective. Recent successes in the food chain. Renaissance of building in many segments of the vertical integration. Addressed challenges - flooding in the bypass, water transporting south, global warming, roads, solar and wind. Pro-active support - spoke of UC Davis hub - energy hub - consolidating food systems in a single location. These technologies for the future will be coming out of here. Farmbudsman - the larger farming operations hired professionals to work thru the regulations. However, the smaller farmer who is doing it himself does not have this advantage. A Farmbudsman is the answer for this issue. Clearly be a way for the small farmer to make progress.
Monica Hernandez addressed the Board to speak about the Next Economy.
John wrapped up the presentation - 4 items need to be in term tactical plan - 1) support farmbudsman position 2) consolidation 3) Framers' school 4) Ag mitigation study. Need precise plans to protect our best ag land - Chair - also impt. to have value added support for the farmers. Have to move forward on both. John - 3 year rollout on the tactile plan - Don would like specific items explained when they would be rolled out. Short list (above) is what they are pursuing out of a long list. Don would like time frame.
