THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN HELPING US MAINTAIN A SAFE, ORDERLY, AND PRODUCTIVE MEETING.
WE'LL THEN MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AND CLOSED SESSION PORTIONS OF THE AGENDA AS WELL AS ALL MATTERS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD NOT ON THE AGENDA.
DO WE HAVE ANY GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT? YES, CHAIR.
I HAVE FOUR PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS.
AND ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM HEATHER WILLIAMS, WHICH HAVE BEEN FORWARDED TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS AS PART OF YOUR CORRESPONDENCE AND WILL BE PLACED INTO THE RECORD.
FOR THOSE MAKING COMMENTS, YOU WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT.
THE FIRST SPEAKER IS HEATHER WILLIAMS. YES, COME ON UP HERE.
THIS IS, YEAH, YOU GET TO BE THE FIRST ONE WITHOUT KNOWING TO FOLLOW.
IF YOU'D PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES FOR YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT.
GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS HEATHER WILLIAMS. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I BELIEVED GETTING OUT OF MY SITUATION WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
I SURVIVED SEVERE CHILDHOOD ABUSE, WAS AWARDED THE COURT, SPENT MANY YEARS IN INSTITUTIONS, EXPERIENCED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ADDICTION, HOMELESSNESS, AND LIVED FOR OVER A DECADE IN A TENT BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS PUSHING A SHOPPING CART.
TODAY I STAND BEFORE YOU AS PROOF THAT LIVES CAN CHANGE WHEN PEOPLE ARE GIVEN HOPE, GUIDANCE, AND THE TOOLS TO MOVE FORWARD.
THAT IS WHY I CREATED DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE.
DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE IS AN EMPOWERMENT PLATFORM THAT HELPS PEOPLE TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR LIVES, BUILD HEALTHY HABITS, SET GOALS, ACCESS RESOURCES, AND LEARN HOW TO BOTH PREVENT CRISIS AND WORK THEIR WAY OUT OF THEM.
IT IS DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE BECOME MORE ACCOUNTABLE, SELF-SUFFICIENT, AND RESILIENT, NOT MORE DEPENDENT.
WHEN PEOPLE LEARN THESE SKILLS, THEY NOT ONLY CHANGE THEIR OWN LIVES, THEY PASS THEM ON TO THEIR CHILDREN, HELPING BREAK GENERATIONAL CYCLES OF POVERTY, CRISIS, AND DEPENDENCY.
FOR YOLO COUNTY, THIS MEANS STRONGER OUTCOMES, REDUCED CASE MANAGEMENT BURNOUT, INCREASED CLIENT ENGAGEMENT, AND POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS THROUGH PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION.
BEFORE COMING HERE TODAY, I SPOKE WITH DIRECTORS OF NON-PROFIT AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NEEDED.
THEY SAW THE POTENTIAL TO HELP PEOPLE THEY SERVE AND SUPPORT THE PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVE THEM.
MY FAITH HAS TAUGHT ME THAT NO PERSON IS BEYOND HOPE, AND MY LIFE IS PROOF OF THAT.
TO BE HONEST, STANDING HERE BEFORE YOU IS INTIMIDATING, BUT I CANNOT LET MY FEAR STOP ME BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT NEED
[00:05:01]
HELP.I BELIEVE THERE'S AN HONOR IN TAKING THE UGLIEST CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE AND TURNING THEM INTO SOMETHING THAT HELPS OTHERS DISCOVER A FUTURE THEY NEVER THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.
AND BEFORE I CLOSE, I WANT TO THANK YOU.
YOU CHOSE TO STEP INTO POSITIONS WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES AS WELL.
WHILE OUR PATHS MAY BE DIFFERENT, I BELIEVE WE SHARE THE SAME GOAL IN HELPING PEOPLE BUILD TOGETHER.
A BETTER LIFE AND STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME SERVICING YOUR CONSIDERATION.
I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT YOU KNOW I'M A BOARD OF THE YOLO COUNTY COMMUNITY SERVICE ACTION BOARD AND I KNOW THE NEEDS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH HEATHER AND WE DID RECEIVE THE HANDOUT THAT YOU PROVIDED.
MY NAME IS LAUREN AYERS AND I LIVE IN HUMANS CONSUMED ANIMALS SATURATED, MEANING THAT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE THEY ARE SOLID, LIKE BUTTER AND TALLOW.
THOSE SAT FATS WERE REPLACED BY LINOLEIC ACID, A POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID, ABBREVIATED AS PUFA, OR PUFA, WHICH WAS NOT FOUND IN HUMAN FOOD UNTIL 1866, THE YEAR WHEN PROCTER & GAMBLE UNVEILED CRISCO, AN ARTIFICIALLY SATURATED FAT MADE FROM SEED OIL IN A PROCESS CALLED HYDROGENATION.
SATURATED FATS DON'T READILY OXIDIZE, WHICH MAKES THEM THE IDEAL BUILDING BLOCK OF CELL MEMBRANES.
RUST IS A TYPE OF OXIDATION, SO THINK OF CELL MEMBRANES MADE FROM PUFAS INSTEAD OF SATURATED FATS AS GETTING RUSTY.
THAT INTERFERES WITH HUNDREDS OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES, SUCH AS POOR ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE MITOCHONDRIA.
IN 1948, PROCTER & GAMBLE PAID THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION $1.5 MILLION TO PROMOTE CRISCO AS A SUPPOSEDLY HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE TO ANIMAL FATS.
SINCE THEN, BASED ON JUNK SCIENCE, FORTUNE 500 FOOD PROCESSORS CONVINCED US THAT SEED OILS SUCH AS CORN, SOY, AND CANOLA OIL ARE BETTER FOR US THAN SATURATED FAT FROM RUMINANTS.
LINOLEIC ACID IS THE MAIN PUFA, AND IT NOW PROVIDES 60 TO 80 PERCENT OF AMERICA'S FAT CALORIES, MORE THAN ANY OTHER DEVELOPED NATION.
AND OUR FATALITY RATE FROM CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, ALZHEIMER'S, IS THE HIGHEST OF ANY NATION.
ANOTHER PROBLEM RESULTING FROM PUFAS, OH, I FORGOT TO SAY, COMPARE THAT TO A MERE TEASPOON A DAY OF LINOLEIC ACID AMERICANS CONSUMED IN 1900.
ANOTHER PROBLEM RESULTING FROM THE PUFAS IS THAT WE'RE DEPRIVED OF THE FAT-BASED VITAMINS A, D, AND K, WHICH WE USED TO GET FROM NATURAL SATURATED FATS LIKE BUTTER AND TALLOW.
RUMINANT ANIMALS SUCH AS COWS, SHEEP, AND GOATS HAVE LOW LINOLEIC CONTENT IN THEIR MILK.
AND MEAT BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT THEY EAT, THEIR FOURTH STOMACH CONTAINS BACTERIA THAT CONVERTS ANY LINOLEIC ACID THEY EAT INTO SATURATED AND MONOSATURATED FATS.
JUST AS THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT HELPED EDUCATE US ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF TOBACCO, THEY NEED TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE HAZARDS OF PUFA.
NEXT COMMENTER? OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS BETH BOURNE.
I'M HERE TO REALLY ADDRESS SUPERVISOR SHEILA ALLEN AND THANK HER FOR ALL SHE'S DOING IN DAVIS AND YOLO COUNTY.
I REALLY WANT TO THANK HER FOR PROMOTING MORE MASTECTOMIES FOR MINORS.
SHE'S DOING THIS IN SO MANY WAYS.
YESTERDAY, I SAW HER AT THE TRANS PRIDE FLAG-RAISING CEREMONY AT DAVIS CITY HALL.
ON MEMORIAL DAY, SHE SPENT HER MORNING PAINTING THE RAINBOW CROSSWALKS AROUND DOWNTOWN DAVIS, INCLUDING THE PARKS IN CENTRAL DAVIS.
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO SEE WHAT SHE'S DOING WITH ELEVATE YOLO.
TWELVE CAN RECEIVE A FREE BREAST BINDER.
THESE ARE GARMENTS THAT ARE GIVEN TO GIRLS SO THEY CAN HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF BEING A BOY OR A MAN.
AND SOON AFTER, THE DISCOMFORT FROM WEARING THIS BREAST BINDER THAT'S FREE FOR GIRLS OVER 12.
DISCREETLY DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME OR FOR PICKUP.
MANY OF THESE GIRLS ARE CHOOSING TO HAVE A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY.
IT'S ONLY $100 WITH YOUR KAISER INSURANCE.
YOLO COUNTY ELEVATE YOLO IS ALSO OFFERING FREE BREAST BINDERS TO BOYS 12 YEARS AND UP.
SHEILA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN A BREAST BINDER OR A PENIS TUCKING KIT, BUT YOU'RE A NURSE.
LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW THEY WORK.
THESE ARE DELIVERED FREE TO KIDS OVER 12 BY BOYS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HIDE THEIR PENIS AND TESTICLES.
[00:10:02]
OUT HERE, AND IT'S GOT SOME ADHESIVE SO THEY CAN TAKE THEIR PENIS AND SCROTUM, AND THEY CAN TUCK IT UNDER, RIGHT? IT SAYS RIGHT THERE, FREE TUCK KITS FOR KIDS OVER 12.HERNANDEZ WAS WEARING ONE AT THE TRACK MEET ON SATURDAY WHEN HE WON TWO GIRLS' CHAMPIONSHIPS.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THESE BOYS ARE CHOOSING TO ALSO WEAR THIS OVER THEIR PENIS TUCK KIT.
IT GIVES YOU THE APPEARANCE OF A WOMAN'S VAGINA.
I JUST THINK IT'S SO WONDERFUL WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR CHILDREN IN OUR COUNTY.
OUR LAST SPEAKER IS NELL BUSH.
I WASN'T SURE IF YOU WANTED ME.
DURING THE AGENDA ITEM OR SITES AGREEMENT, SO YOU WANT I'LL ADDRESS IT THEN IF YOU WANT I'M SORRY FOR YOUR ITEM.
WHERE YOUR ITEM YOU CAN DO EITHER ONE YOU TALK NOW WE'LL REMAIN FOR THE OTHER DAY UP HERE SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO RECALL IT EITHER ONE YES MY NAME IS NEIL BUSH I'M A DUNNIGAN RESIDENT FOR 45 YEARS I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF THE DUNNIGAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND AS AN APPOINTEE BY THE BOARD WE REVIEW ANY PROJECTS OR AGREEMENTS THAT THE COUNTY HAS WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT NORMALLY TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE MEETING I'VE CONVERSED WITH A STAFF MEMBER WHO TELLS ME IF THERE'S ANY STAFF ITEMS TO GO OVER.
AND SO ONCE THOSE STAFF ITEMS ARE PRESENTED TO ME, I ADD ANY ITEMS TO THE AGENDA.
I CHECK MY CORRESPONDENCE, AND ON THIS ITEM NUMBER 20 ABOUT THE SITES AGREEMENT, I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ON THIS PROJECT OR AGREEMENT AT ALL.
WE ALWAYS HAVE HAD THE STAFF COME AND EXPLAIN ANY OF THESE THINGS TO US AND WE CAN MAKE OUR COMMENTS AND CONCERNS.
WE DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO DO THIS AT ALL.
A REVIEW OF THE REPORT THAT I READ SHOWS THAT IT INVOLVED LOCAL COMMUNITY GROUP AND ALSO BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY.
DUNNIGAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS THE ONLY LOCAL GROUP IN DUNNIGAN.
WHERE THEY CAME UP WITH THAT, I HAVE NO IDEA.
SO WE ARE THE ONES THAT REVIEW THOSE TO MAKE COMMENTS.
NOW, AS FAR AS WHAT THE COMMITTEE WOULD COME UP WITH, I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT INTERESTS.
WE REPRESENT ALL AREAS OF DUNNIGAN.
THAT THAT HAPPENS ON ANYTHING THAT CONCERNS DUNNIGAN.
THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET INPUT FROM DUNNIGAN IS THROUGH THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, MR. BUSH.
PARDON? THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
WELL, MAINLY I JUST WANTED TO SAY, DUNNIGAN.
IS A LITTLE COMMUNITY TO THE NORTH YOU CAN FIND IT ON YOUR LIST A SALES INCOME REVENUE AIR IN THE TOP 10 SO MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR DONE AGAIN ADVISORY COMMITTEE OR ANY OTHER COMMITTEE WHEN YOU HAVE ANY AGREEMENTS OR PROJECTS THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST ONE I THINK THAT WE'VE NEVER HAD ANY COMMENTS ON ARE NOTIFIED ABOUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT, AND WHEN WE GET TO THAT AGENDA ITEM, I'M SURE THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT FURTHER THEN, IF YOU WANT TO STAY, PLEASE.
OKAY, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NO, CHAIR, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS.
[ CONSENT AGENDA]
THAT TAKES US TO THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEMS NUMBER 6 THROUGH 17.ARE THERE ANY ITEMS ANYONE WISHES TO PULL? OKAY, RECUSE? OKAY, WE HAVE A RECUSAL.
WITH ITEM 14, I RECUSE MYSELF BEFORE THIS ITEM COULD IMPACT FINANCIAL MATTERS REGARDING SHORT-TERM RENTAL AGREEMENTS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND FUTURE BUSINESS INTERESTS OF MINE.
ANY OTHER ITEMS TO BE PULLED OR COMMENTED ON? MOVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR.
[00:15:02]
OKAY, OKAY.IT'S BEEN MOVED BY FRERICHS, OKAY, AND THEN SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR VIXIE SANDY, AND THEN THERE IS A QUESTION FROM SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS.
YEAH, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, AND I DON'T NEED A FULL UNDERSTANDING AT THIS JUNCTURE HERE.
I CAN TAKE IT OFFLINE, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ITEM 16.
SORRY, LET ME ADJUST THIS STUFF HERE.
ITEM 16 IS A CONTRACT THAT WE OBTAINED WITH...
...ARTISTATING COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS FOR PROP 47 IMPLEMENTATION.
THESE ARE FUNDS THAT WE PASS THROUGH TO NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, BIDDERS THAT BID ON THIS CONTRACT.
SUBSEQUENTLY, WE'RE NOT ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE THINGS THAT WERE IN THE COMPETITIVE BID.
AND SO NOW WE ARE, WE'RE TAKING A MILLION, REDISTRIBUTING IT.
WE'RE SUBCONTRACTING, OR THE CONTRACTOR IS SUBCONTRACTING TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES.
OTHERWISE, AND SO I WORRY A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THIS IS A COMPETITIVE PROCESS.
OUR PROCESS IS DESIGNED TO HAVE PARAMETERS AROUND COMPETE THESE CONTRACTS, AND WE'RE ON THE BRINK POTENTIALLY IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY ASKED FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE STATE.
WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ESSENTIALLY ACQUIRED NOW FULFILL OUR OBLIGATIONS TO THE STATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES HOUSING VOUCHERS OR A POPULATION THAT I THINK WE'RE ALL INTERESTED IN SERVING SO WE DON'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS, AND I JUST I WORRY A LITTLE BIT.
WE ARE I THINK I I WANT TO UNDERSTAND A BIT DEEPER AROUND AS WE GET TO THIS POSITION.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHALLENGES IN HIRING THE PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES.
WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S A CHALLENGE, I'M STRUGGLING IN THIS ECONOMY.
I UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS WE CAN'T MEET THE BASIC OBLIGATIONS OF THE CONTRACT.
I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE RECORD BECAUSE I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME, THIS IS NOT THE SECOND OR THE THIRD.
RETURNING THE FUNDS TO THE STATE, I CAN TELL YOU THE BOARD OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS DOES NOT TAKE LIGHTLY THE NOTION THAT WE CANNOT FILL OUR OBLIGATIONS WHEN WE ARE COMPETITIVE IN BEATING OUT OTHER COUNTIES FOR THIS VERY SAME MONEY.
WE DO HAVE DIRECTOR KILDARE HERE IF YOU WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE OR NO.
OKAY, WITH THAT BEING SAID, THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY FRERICHS.
DID WE GET A SECOND? OKAY, SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR BIXIE SANDY.
AND THEN WE HAVE A RECUSAL ON NUMBER 14 FOR SUPERVISOR BARAJAS.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
THAT TAKES US TO INTRODUCTIONS.
ARE THERE ANY INTRODUCTIONS TODAY? SEEING NONE, THEN WE'LL BEGIN
[ INTRODUCTIONS & HONORARY RESOLUTIONS]
WITH OUR HONORARIANS.STEVE JENSEN, UPON HIS RETIREMENT FROM YOLO COUNTY, COME ON UP TO BE THE PRESENTER.
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE A BAR IN THE LAST ONE.
I SAID DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR BAR.
GOOD MORNING, AND I'M SO PLEASED TO BE THE ONE SELECTED TO BE ABLE TO HONOR STEVE AND STEVEN, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CALLED YOU THAT.
IN CASE YOU WERE A LITTLE INFORMAL, STEVE AND I STARTED ABOUT THE SAME TIME AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAY BACK WHEN, SO 26 YEARS AGO.
SO I AM PLEASED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND HONOR STEVE ON HIS 26 YEARS OF DEDICATED AND EXEMPLARY PUBLIC SERVICE TO YOLO COUNTY.
DURING HIS 26 YEARS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, STEVE ADVANCED FROM OUTREACH SPECIALIST IN TOBACCO PREVENTION TO HEALTH PROGRAM MANAGER, PROVIDING LEADERSHIP AND GUIDANCE ACROSS MULTIPLE PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS, INCLUDING TOBACCO PREVENTION, CHILDHOOD LEAD POISONING PREVENTION, CALFRESH HEALTHY LIVING.
ORAL HEALTH BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, CHILD PASSENGER AND TRAFFIC SAFETY, AND FRIDAY NIGHT
[00:20:02]
LIVE.THAT'S AN AMAZING PROGRAM TO HELP KEEP KIDS AWAY FROM TOBACCO AND OTHER DRUGS.
HE HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY SUCCESSFUL WITH HIS TOBACCO PREVENTION COALITION, BRINGING FORWARD A NUMBER OF ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS THAT STARTED IN YOLO COUNTY AND THEN SPREAD OUT TO OUR CITIES TO...
PROVIDE CLEANER AIR, REDUCE TOBACCO EXPOSURE AND ACCESS ESPECIALLY FOR OUR YOUTH AND HEALTHIER OUTCOMES.
AND I LIKE THIS BIT OF STATISTICS THAT FROM IT'S ESTIMATED THAT SIXTEEN PERCENT OF PEOPLE IN YOLO COUNTY IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS WHEN HE STARTED WERE SMOKERS AND NOW IT'S DOWN TO NINE PERCENT.
I THINK A GOOD PORTION OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE WORK YOU AND YOUR TEAM DID.
SO THAT REPRESENTS AN ESTIMATED 12,000 TO 13,000 FEWER ADULT SMOKERS IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND IN PARTICULAR, YOUTH SMOKING RATES HAVE FALLEN FROM AN ESTIMATED 75% TO 80% HAVE FALLEN AN ESTIMATED 75% TO 80% OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS.
AND STEPHEN HAS DEMONSTRATED PROFESSIONALISM, INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, AND AN UNWAVERING DEDICATION TO SERVING THE RESIDENTS OF YOLO COUNTY, LEAVING A MEANINGFUL AND ENDURING, ENDURING AND ENDEARING, ACTUALLY.
IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND THE FIELD OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
AND I JUST PERSONALLY WANT TO SAY THAT IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH STEVE.
HE HAS AN AMAZING SENSE OF HUMOR, SO JUST WHEN YOU NEED TO LIGHTEN THINGS UP, HE IS THERE FOR YOU.
AND ALWAYS JUST HAS SUCH A DEDICATION TO JUST KEEP CHUGGING AWAY ON GETTING THINGS DONE, BECAUSE AS WE ALL KNOW, THE POLICY WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT CAN SOMETIMES BE SLOW, BUT HE GETS THINGS DONE.
SO CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RETURN.
MY SENSE OF HUMOR HAS GOTTEN ME IN TROUBLE.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT SOME OF THESE STATISTICS.
I THINK THEY'RE MAYBE A LITTLE EMBELLISHED, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
WE'LL TAKE, NO, I'LL TAKE FULL CREDIT THOUGH, BUT I THINK IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT OF THE WHOLE STATE.
IT'S BEEN HERE AND GOOD MORNING.
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE STEPHANIE AMATO AND COMPANY, ALL THOSE WHO ARE SMITTEN FOR KITTENS, PLEASE JOIN ME HERE AT THE PODIUM.
I THINK THIS GIVES THE TERM CAT HERDING A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
LOOK AT ALL THESE KITTENS HERE.
[00:25:01]
WOW.I'M GOING TO SHARE A FEW FACTS HERE ABOUT TODAY, JUNE 6TH, CALIFORNIA ADOPT-A-PET DAY.
I THINK I MAY BE GOING HOME WITH A KITTEN HERE.
YOU'RE GOING TO HELP ME WITH THIS PRESENTATION, AREN'T YOU? WHEN YOU START PURRING, IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE DAY.
ALL RIGHT, SO CALIFORNIA HAS A LONG-STANDING STATE POLICY THAT ADOPTABLE ANIMALS IN SHELTERS SHOULD FIND LOVING HOMES, AND DUE TO THE SEVERE SHORTAGE OF VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS, MANY AREAS OF THE STATE DO NOT HAVE ADEQUATE ACCESS TO BETTER CARE.
WE'VE GOT MAYHEM, MAYHEM IN THE CHAMBERS HERE.
I SUPPOSE I BETTER MAKE THIS FAIRLY QUICK.
ALL RIGHT, I THINK WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS JUST SHORT CIRCUIT THIS AND SAY BEFORE I'M COMPLETELY UNDONE BY A KITTEN, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE AND BRINGING THE BEST PROPS EVER.
AND PLEASE LET'S RESOLVE THAT TODAY THE YOLO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FULLY SUPPORTS BOTH THE LOCAL EFFORTS OF THE YOLO COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES AND THE STATEWIDE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS.
AND ALSO ENCOURAGE OUR COMMUNITY TO CONSIDER ADOPTING A PET.
WE'VE GOT SEVERAL UP HERE THAT I THINK ARE PRETTY READILY AVAILABLE FROM A LOCAL SHELTER OR RESCUE ORGANIZATION.
STEPHANIE AND TEAM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS? I'LL BE QUICK, OBVIOUSLY.
AND, YES, SO WE ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, EVERY DAY SHOULD BE ADOPT A SHELTER PET IN OUR REALITY.
BUT THIS SATURDAY IS STATEWIDE CALIFORNIA ADOPT-A-PET DAY.
WE HAVE OUR ANNUAL SMITTEN FOR KITTEN EVENT IN DAVIS.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'VE PARTNERED WITH A LOCAL FRATERNITY AND WE WILL HAVE AT LEAST 30 OR MORE.
WE HAVE ABOUT 200 KITTENS IN FOSTER RIGHT NOW.
SO YEAH, JUST ENCOURAGING EVERYONE TO ADOPT.
BUT THERE'S ALSO AT THE SHELTER THERE'LL BE ALL OF THE DOGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO.
SO REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND ADOPT DON'T SHOP AND HERE'S ALL OF OUR FRIENDS.
RIGHT, WELL, AFTER THAT, WHO COULD TOP THAT? SO, WELL, WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE DECLARING JUNE 5TH AS NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY AND WEAR ORANGE DAY.
AND YOU MAY BE WONDERING, WHY ORANGE, RIGHT? WELL, SOME MAY ASK THAT.
WELL, WHY ORANGE? COLORS, THAT'S THE COLOR THAT HUNTERS WEAR TO MAKE THEMSELVES VISIBLE AND TO PROTECT THEMSELVES WHILE IN THE WOODS AND HUNTING.
AND IT HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY THE GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND AWARENESS MOVEMENT NATIONWIDE.
SO NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY IS OBSERVED ON THE FIRST FRIDAY IN JUNE TO HONOR THE LIFE OF HADIYAH PENDLETON, WHO WAS TRAGICALLY SHOT AND KILLED IN 2013, AND IN RECOGNITION OF VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE NATIONWIDE.
HERE IN CALIFORNIA, WE HAVE THE SEVENTH LOWEST RATE OF GUN DEATHS IN THE NATION, YET WE STILL AVERAGE ONE DEATH EVERY THREE HOURS.
EACH GUN VIOLENCE DEATH LEAVES COUNTLESS FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS IMPACTED, AFFECTING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF COMMUNITIES.
[00:30:01]
RECOGNIZING NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY AND WEARING ORANGE ALLOWS US TO HONOR HADIYA PENDLETON'S LIFE AND OTHER VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE AS WELL AS THEIR LOVED ONES.IT ALSO SERVES AS A REMINDER TO RENEW OUR COMMITMENT TO GUN VIOLENCE, REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE.
WE ENCOURAGE ALL RESIDENTS OF YOLO COUNTY TO SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY'S EFFORTS TO PREVENT THE TRAGIC EFFECTS OF GUN VIOLENCE AND TO HONOR AND VALUE HUMAN LIVES.
AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE THIS MORNING, TWO MORE THINGS, FORTUNATE TO HAVE MIKE MCLIVELY OF THE GIFFORDS LAW CENTER HERE WITH US OF COURSE THIS MORNING AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF THE STUDENTS LEADERS AT UC DAVIS STUDENT DEMAND ACTIONS CHAPTER AND LASTLY JUST WANT TO THANK ACTING DISTRICT ATTORNEY MELINDA AIELLO BUT ALSO FORMER FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEFF REISIG FOR THEIR CONTINUED AND PREVIOUS PARTNERSHIP AND THE YOLO GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION COLLABORATIVE THAT WE CO-FOUNDED TOGETHER AND AND ALL OF THESE FINE INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATED IN AS WELL SO WITH THAT PLEASE WELCOME OUR GUESTS GOOD MORNING.
MY NAME IS SADIE LIU AND I AM THE COMMUNICATIONS LEAD FOR THE UC DAVIS STUDENTS IN MAN ACTION CLUB.
WE ARE PART OF THE YOUTH LEAD MOVEMENT OF OVER 800 CHAPTERS AT HIGH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES.
IT'S A NATIONWIDE, A NATION BASICALLY ORGANIZING TOGETHER TO END GUN VIOLENCE.
BY PROCLAIMING JUNE 5TH AS NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY, YOLO COUNTY WILL JOIN A NATIONAL MOVEMENT THAT RAISES AWARENESS AND DRIVES ACTION.
THIS DAY IS MORE THAN JUST A SYMBOL.
IT IS A CALL TO ACTION FOR POLICYMAKERS, COMMUNITY LEADERS, AND CITIZENS TO COME TOGETHER AND WORK TOWARDS A FUTURE FREE FROM GUN VIOLENCE.
NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY IS A POINT AND REMINDER THAT THIS WORK AND GUN VIOLENCE EXTENDS BEYOND STUDENTS.
IT IS FOR THE PARENTS WHO DROPPED THEIR CHILDREN OFF AT SCHOOL AND NEVER GOT TO PICK THEM UP, THE FAMILIES HEARTBROKEN BY LOVED ONES TAKEN BY SUICIDES, AND COMMUNITIES FOREVER SHAPED BY THE TRAUMA OF GUN HOMICIDES.
I WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TOWARDS YOLO COUNTY.
JUNE 5TH, NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS DAY, WILL SERVE AS A TESTAMENT TO THIS COUNTY'S EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE ONGOING CRISIS OF GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR NATION.
I'M THE POLICY DIRECTOR OF THE GIFFORDS CENTER FOR VIOLENCE INTERVENTION.
AND GIFFORDS IS A NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION, OF COURSE, NAMED AFTER GABBY GIFFORDS, WHO IS THE FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN FROM ARIZONA WHO WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD BACK IN 2011 WHILE HOSTING AN EVENT FOR HER CONSTITUENTS.
SO WE WORK ON THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, BUT I AM LUCKY AND BLESSED TO LIVE IN DAVIS FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS AND CALL THIS MY HOME.
LUCAS IS, IN FACT, MY SUPERVISOR.
SO I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE ON THIS.
THE YOLO COUNTY GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION TASK FORCE HAS BEEN MEETING REGULARLY, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION THAT WE'VE PUT ON THIS ISSUE.
I JUST WANT TO REALLY QUICKLY SAY IN A SORT OF MOMENT OF HOPE HERE, A REPORT BY A FRIEND OF MINE WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION IN CALIFORNIA, ONE OF THE FIRST STATEWIDE OFFICES THAT HAVE THAT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, JUST PUT OUT A REPORT SAYING THAT IN 2024, WE HAD OUR LOWEST GUN FIREARM DEATH RATE IN CALIFORNIA EVER.
SO WE ARE HAVING REAL PROGRESS IN THE STATE.
IT IS OUR INVESTMENT IN THE COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED AND INTERVENING WITH THOSE AT HIGHEST RISK THAT IS HAVING A HUGE EFFECT.
AND IT MATTERS LOCALLY, INDIVIDUALLY, AT THE STATE LEVEL, FEDERALLY, ALL OF THAT MATTERS.
I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.
AND I'LL END BY SAYING THANK YOU MOST OF ALL TO THE STUDENTS WHO ARE DEDICATING THEIR TIME, TIRELESSLY WORKING ON THIS ISSUE.
IT'S VERY INSPIRING TO ME THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THANK YOU AND KEEP SHOWING UP.
NEXT, SUPERVISOR BARAJAS WILL BE PRESENTING A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING JUNE 19TH AS JUNETEENTH IN YOLO COUNTY.
[00:35:02]
YES, THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY.JUNETEENTH RESOLUTION IS BEFORE US.
IF WE CAN HAVE A FEW FOLKS, GARTH LEWIS, SUPERINTENDENT OF YOLO COUNTY SCHOOLS, KALANI GRIFFIN, SHE'S A GRADUATED SENIOR FROM WEST SAC HIGH SCHOOL, YOUTH PRESIDENT OF BLACK STUDENTS OF CALIFORNIA UNITED.
AND ADRIAN MILES, RIVERBANK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKER.
SO THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO SAY A FEW WORDS ON THE MICROPHONE, BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE JUNETEENTH HERE AT THIS COUNTY.
AND I KNOW THAT THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS A FEW YEARS BACK ACTUALLY MADE JUNETEENTH A PAID HOLIDAY FOR ALL OF OUR EMPLOYEES.
INVESTMENT IN NOT ONLY PROCLAIMING JUNETEENTH, BUT EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT JUNETEENTH AND WHY IT MATTERS, AND ALSO WHY IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE ON WITH THE STRUGGLES AND FIGHT BACK AND RESIST ON SOME OF THE INEQUALITIES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY FACING THROUGHOUT THE NATION.
SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, JUNETEENTH COMMEMORATES A DAY THAT ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS IN GALVESTON, TEXAS.
WERE INFORMED OF THEIR EMANCIPATION BY UNION ARMY OVER TWO YEARS.
NOW, OVER TWO YEARS AFTER PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN ISSUED THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.
AND ALSO ON JUNE 19, 1866, FORMERLY ENSLAVED AFRICAN AMERICANS IN TEXAS CELEBRATED THE FIRST JUBILEE DAY, THE HOLIDAY WE NOW KNOW AS JUNETEENTH.
NOW IN YOLO COUNTY, BACK IN 2019, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WORKED WITH COUNTY STAFF TO CREATE THE YOLO COUNTY INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY TASK FORCE, A MULTI-AGENCY TASK FORCE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS SYSTEMIC RACISM WITHIN THE COUNTY'S MANY AGENCIES AND ADVANCE A MORE EQUITABLE APPROACH TO SERVICE AND DELIVERY.
AND WE PROCLAIM JUNE 19TH THIS YEAR AS JUNETEENTH, AND WE HAVE SOME SPEAKERS HERE TO SPEAK MORE ON BEHALF OF JUNETEENTH.
HI EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS KALANI GRIFFITH.
I AM A SENIOR AT RIVER CITY HIGH SCHOOL.
LIKE HE SAID, I AM THE YOUTH PRESIDENT FOR BLACK STUDENTS OF CALIFORNIA UNITED, WHICH IS A NON-PROFIT BASED OUT OF CALIFORNIA, AS WELL AS THE PRESIDENT FOR RIVER CITY HIGH SCHOOL, BSU.
AND I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE ON A LOCAL LEVEL AND STATE LEVEL FOR JUNETEENTH.
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF LIKE SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH TO TEACH THE YOUTH.
SO I BROUGHT MY LITTLE BROTHER HERE, KEIKOA.
EDUCATING THEM ON THE BACKGROUND OF OUR HISTORY IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SHOUT OUT TO WEST SACRAMENTO FOR HOSTING OUR ANNUAL JUNETEENTH EVENT WHERE MY HIGH SCHOOL IS ABLE TO HAVE LITTLE LIKE PROJECTS AND CRAFTS TO TEACH THE STUDENTS ABOUT JUNETEENTH AT THAT EVENT AND THEN I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT AS WELL THANK YOU.
AND WE HAVE AN AGENT IN MY OFFICE.
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE OTHER RED CHILDREN KNOW THERE'S SO MANY THINGS GOING ON THAT I THINK IS SO IMPORTANT THAT HISTORY THE STRUGGLES THE ACHIEVEMENT I THINK THAT IS SUCH A VALUABLE THING AND KAYLANI IT'S JUST SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR CHILDREN TO HAVE THE PROJECTS AND TO HAVE THAT OUTREACH AND TO HAVE THAT.
TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP AND DO SO MUCH.
AS MENTIONED, I'M GARTH LEWIS, THE YOLO COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, AND I'M ABSOLUTELY HONORED.
TO BE HERE THIS MORNING TO RECEIVE THIS RESOLUTION AND I DO SO REALLY ON BEHALF OF MY ORGANIZATION THE YOLO COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION EDUCATORS ACROSS THE COUNTY AND THE STUDENTS AND THE FAMILIES THAT WE SERVE COLLECTIVELY I'M ALSO GOING TO JUST NAME AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS IN YOLO COUNTY REALLY RAISED HER VOICE TO ENSURE THAT YOLO COUNTY IS A PLACE FOR ALL PEOPLE AND WITH A PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON EQUITY AND ACCESS FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS HERE IN THE COUNTY, AND THAT IS MS. MARILYN HAYES, WHO PASSED AWAY ON MAY 15TH AT THE BEAUTIFUL AGE OF 78 YEARS YOUNG.
[00:40:04]
ABOUT HER LIFE, HER LEGACY, HER IMPACT ON MY PRACTICE AS AN EDUCATOR, AS WELL AS HER HOLDING THE INSTITUTIONS.YOLO COUNTY ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR WORK, FOR OUR DEDICATION, FOR CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT OUR IDEALS ARE AND WHAT OUR PRACTICES ARE.
I THINK ABOUT HER DEEPEST DEEPEST DESIRE BEING TO CREATE THE CONDITIONS WITHIN OUR COUNTY SUCH THAT EVERY CHILD OR YOUTH BORN CARED FOR OR EDUCATED IN YOLO COUNTY WOULD BE ADVANTAGED.
BECAUSE OF OUR COMMUNITY'S RESPONSE TO THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS.
THAT IS THE VERY VISION THAT WE'VE COMMITTED OURSELVES TO THROUGH THE ROADMAP TO THE FUTURE.
SHE WAS A SUPPORTER OF THAT EFFORT.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF JUNETEENTH IN PARTICULAR, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO RECALL, AS SUPERVISOR BARAJAS MENTIONED, THAT TWO YEARS, A FULL TWO YEARS, AFTER THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WAS PASSED, IT TOOK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STEPPING IN TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
I DRAW SPECIFIC ATTENTION TO THAT IN THIS MOMENT IN OUR HISTORY.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS A LONG AND RICH HISTORY OF ENSURING THAT THE HARD-FOUGHT CIVIL RIGHTS FOR BLACK CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR WERE PROTECTED THROUGH ATTORNEYS.
THROUGH ENSURING THAT AUDITS, INVESTIGATIONS, THAT FOLKS WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, WE'RE IN A MOMENT WHERE THAT IS REALLY BEING UNDERCUT.
AND THAT'S NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT, THAT IS THE REALITY.
THE VOTERS' RIGHTS ACT, TODAY IS ELECTION DAY, NOT UNIRONICALLY.
AND WE THINK ABOUT THE EFFORTS THAT AFTER EMANCIPATION, MANY BLACK FOLKS...
PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO ENSURE THERE WAS A RIGHT TO THE BALLOT.
MALCOLM X FAMOUSLY, HIS FAMOUS SPEECH, THE BALLOT OF THE BULLET, RIGHT, REALLY CALLED ATTENTION TO THE IMPORTANCE THAT THE BLACK COMMUNITY PLACED ON A FULL PARTICIPATION IN OUR DEMOCRACY.
WE ARE STILL IN THAT WORK TODAY.
AS I THINK ABOUT THE WORK WE HAVE THAT REMAINS IN FRONT OF US IN EDUCATION, WE CONTINUE TO SEE, UNFORTUNATELY, OVERREPRESENTATION OF BLACK CHILDREN IN EXCLUSIONARY DISCIPLINARY PRACTICES IN TERMS OF EXPULSIONS AND SUSPENSIONS, RIGHT? AND UNFORTUNATELY, UNDERREPRESENTATIONS, WE THINK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE MORE NOTABLE OR MORE NOTEWORTHY ACHIEVEMENTS.
YOU SEE THE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY HERE AND KAKOA. I MEAN, THEY'RE JUST TREMENDOUS YOUNG PEOPLE, TREMENDOUS YOUNG PEOPLE.
MY POINT IS THAT OUR INSTITUTION STILL HAS WORK TO DO.
WE SEE THE SAME THING WITH OUR OVER-REPRESENTATION IN CHILD WELFARE, IN INCARCERATION RATES OF YOUTH AND ADULTS, EVEN HERE IN YOLO COUNTY.
AND SO THE WORK REMAINS AHEAD OF US AS I THINK ABOUT TURNING OUR ATTENTION TOWARDS HOPE.
I WILL SHARE WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AGAIN, IN HONOR OF MS. MARILYN HAYES, SHE HELPED TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT BLACK HISTORY HERE IN YOLO COUNTY, AND WE'RE GOING TO SHARE A COPY OF THAT BOOK WITH EACH OF THE SUPERVISORS AND OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS.
AND AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP, THIS WORK, THE SHARED COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE TO EQUITY AND ACCESS FOR ALL OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DEEPLY, DEEPLY COMMITTED TO AND DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN.
I'LL JUST MENTION AS WELL, FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED, JUNE 19TH, THERE ARE TWO EVENTS IN SACRAMENTO, AT THE SOPHIA, AN ART WALK, AND AT THE STATE CAPITOL, A GATHERING.
ON THE 20TH, THERE WILL BE A LARGE GATHERING CELEBRATING JUNETEENTH AT WILLIAM LAND PARK, ALSO IN SACRAMENTO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP.
AND FOR NOTING JUNE 19TH, 2026 IS JUNETEENTH.
SO IF WE CAN TAKE A PICTURE UP IN FRONT PLEASE.
[00:46:00]
I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF PROVIDING OUR LAST NAME FOR THE MORNING, WHICH IS RECOGNIZING JUNE 2026 AS LBGTQIA PLUS PRIDE MONTH.CAN I PLEASE HAVE SONDRA NELSON, THE DAVIS PRIDE DIRECTOR, GLORIA PARTITA, THE QUEEN OF ALL THINGS PRIDE IN DAVIS.
I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T HAVE YOU LISTED HERE, I JUST GAVE YOU THAT NAME.
MARIANA FAUSEN FROM COMMUNITY CAROL A.
THE COMMUNITY CAROL LEAGUE TEAM HERE, COME OVER HERE WHERE I CAN SEE YOU SO I CAN LOOK LIKE I'M NOT TALKING TO THE, THERE WE GO, THERE WE GO.
LEX DELGADO AND LYDIA VOSNA FROM, CAN YOU GO THAT WAY A LITTLE BIT SO YOU'RE NOT HIDING BEHIND? PERFECT.
OKAY, I HAVE TWO RESOLUTIONS, YOU GUYS CAN FIGHT OVER THEM.
COMMUNICARE, MAYBE PHOENIX COALITION.
SO I AM VERY PROUD TO BE HERE WITH YOU THIS MORNING AS I WAS VERY PROUD, AS YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD, TO BE OUT BEFORE THE SUN ROSE TO PAINT THE CROSSWALKS OF DAVIS, JUST A FEW OF THEM, IN RAINBOW COLORS AND ALSO TO RAISE THE FLAG IN DAVIS BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY DURING THESE TIMES.
PERHAPS EARLY NO EARLIER NOTE BEING PROUD AND BEING ALLIED AND BEING THERE IN COMMUNITY AND PUSHING MY THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE AND WE VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE TO RECOGNIZE THE LGBTQIA PRIDE MONTH IN YOLO COUNTY.
IT STARTED, WHY JUNE, IS BECAUSE IN 1969, THE STONEWALL UPRISING HAPPENED.
THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF IT ALL.
AND IN PARTICULAR, I HAVE A CONCERN, AND I KNOW ABOUT YOUTH, AND ALSO ADULTS IN THE LGBTQI COMMUNITY THAT FACE DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH RISK OF EXPERIENCING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS.
SOCIAL ISOLATION, VIOLENT ABUSE AND HARASSMENT, AND ALSO THE RISK OF SUICIDE.
JUST AS A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, WE WANT TO HOLD OUR CHILDREN AND WHO THEY ARE.
WE MADE SOME REAL PROGRESS IN MY LIFETIME, AND I FEEL LIKE WE ARE HAVING REGRESS RIGHT NOW.
LIKE THOSE GUYS DID IN STONEWALL, NOW TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT REGARDLESS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY, THAT WE CONTINUE TO CELEBRATE.
SO WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED PRIDE MONTH IS BECAUSE WE CELEBRATE.
WE WANT TO CELEBRATE LOVE AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE DIVERSE EXPRESSIONS OF PRIDE AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ANY OF YOU TO COME AND SPEAK.
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OUTREACH AT COMMUNICARE OLAY.
I WANT TO START BY SAYING THANK YOU TO THE CHAIR AND SUPERVISORS.
COMMUNICARE OLAY IS HONORED TO RECEIVE THIS PROCLAMATION ALONGSIDE OUR VALUED COMMUNITY PARTNERS.
AS A NONPROFIT HEALTH CENTER, COMMUNICARE OLAY HAS PROUDLY SERVED YOLO COUNTY SINCE 1972 AND TODAY WE PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL, DENTAL, AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES ACROSS NAPA, YOLO, AND SOLANO COUNTIES.
AS A NONPROFIT HEALTH CENTER, WE DO NOT TURN ANYONE AWAY BASED ON THEIR INABILITY TO PAY, AND WE ARE SERVING ABOUT 75,000 PATIENTS ACROSS ALL 13 HEALTH CENTER SITES.
WE ALSO OFFER SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO FURTHER MEET THE HEALTH
[00:50:01]
NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY, INCLUDING OUR ELEVATE QUEER YOLO PROGRAM.AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE MY COLLEAGUE, LEX.
HI, GOOD MORNING, AND HOW ARE YOU DOING? SO THANK YOU AGAIN CHAIR AND SUPERVISORS FOR HAVING US HERE TODAY.
MY NAME IS LEX DELGADO, PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR COMMUNICARE LA'S ELEVATE QUIRIELLO PROGRAM.
SO WE ARE A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TEAM THAT IS GRANT FUNDED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES ELEVATE YOUTH PROGRAM.
THIS GRANT'S AIM IS TO ADDRESS SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER IN COMMUNITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS.
EQI'S PROGRAMMING SUPPORTS SUPPORTS QUEER YOUTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 12 TO 26, WHICH IS A DEMOGRAPHIC THAT FACES HIGHER RATES OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER COMPARED TO THEIR NON-QUEER PEERS.
MY TEAM HAS THE SPECIAL PRIVILEGE OF MEETING YOLO COUNTY YOUTH WHEREVER THEY ARE ON THEIR PERSONAL JOURNEYS AND PROVIDING THEM WITH ONE-ON-ONE PEER SUPPORT, MATERIAL RESOURCES, AND SERVICES THAT THEY NEED TO BECOME LEADERS AND AGENTS OF CHANGE.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT EQI'S WORK IS GIVING YOUTH SPACE TO BE SEEN, ACCEPTED, AND CELEBRATED UNCONDITIONALLY FOR WHO THEY ARE.
THIS PROGRAM HAS SHOWN ME JUST HOW MUCH OF A POSITIVE IMPACT WEEKLY PEER SUPPORT SESSION CAN HAVE ON A YOUTH CLIENT'S MENTAL HEALTH.
THEIR FACE LIGHTS UP, THEY STAND MORE CONFIDENTLY, AND THEY EXPERIENCE BETTER MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES.
IF THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE FEELING SEEN BY ONE PERSON CAN MAKE, IMAGINE THE BENEFIT OF FEELING THAT FROM YOUR COMMUNITY.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PRIDE AND WHY PROCLAMATIONS LIKE THIS MATTER.
WE ARE REMINDED OF WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AND SPECIAL THING IT IS TO BE QUEER, NOT JUST DURING JUNE, BUT ALL YEAR.
AND ON NOTE, MY COLLEAGUE LYDIA WILL NOW HELLO EVERYBODY, MY NAME IS VISNA.
I'M THE VOLUNTEER AND LEARNER PROGRAM COORDINATOR AT COMMUNICARE LA.
WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL TO OUR COMMUNITY CAREER LA'S PRIDE PARADE AND PARTY CELEBRATION IN WOODLAND ON JUNE 20TH.
WE WILL HAVE FLYERS IN THE BACK.
WE ARE CURRENTLY WELCOMING AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PARADE AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO SIGN UP AS A WALKING GROUP.
THIS CELEBRATION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER, AFFIRM OUR LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY IN A VISIBLE AND JOYFUL WAY.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY.
WE HAD KITTENS, WE HAD, YOU KNOW, CELEBRATION OF JUNETEENTH, WE HAD A REMINDER THAT WE NEED TO BE GUN SAFE, AND NOW WE'RE CELEBRATING PRIDE.
I WANT TO THANK THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
I WANT TO PARTICULARLY THANK SUPERVISORS FRERICHS, BARAJAS, AND ALLEN FOR BEING SPONSORS OF OUR PRIDE EVENT, WHICH IS ON JUNE 6TH.
AND I ALWAYS REMEMBER AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, KATHY SPECK, WHO WAS A GREAT ADVOCATE FOR THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY.
AND WE WERE AT A PANEL ONCE, AND SHE WAS TELLING THIS STORY ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO ASKED HER, WHY PRIDE? AND SHE SAID, BECAUSE IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF SHAME.
AND THAT ALWAYS STUCK WITH ME BECAUSE...
IT IS, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY.
WE ARE AFFIRMING THE DIGNITY INHERENT IN ALL OF US.
AND I THINK THAT EXTENDS TO ALL OF THE VULNERABLE GROUPS OUT THERE THAT ARE OFTEN MADE TO FEEL ASHAMED.
AND IN THAT WAY, THEY ARE CONTINUED TO BE OPPRESSED.
AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US IN THIS CELEBRATION.
ONCE AGAIN, MY NAME IS SANDRA HENRIQUEZ NELSON.
I AM THE ALSO HUMBLE PRIDE DIRECTOR FOR DAVIS PRIDE.
BUT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN DAVIS FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS WITH PRIDE.
WE ARE ONE OF THE PRIDE CELEBRATIONS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO ATTEND.
WE HAD OUR PEAK, WE HAD 7,000 PEOPLE ATTEND ONE YEAR.
ALL THE TIME I GOT A CALL LAST NIGHT FROM AN ARTIST THAT WANTS TO PARTICIPATE UNFORTUNATELY YOU'RE NOT COMING THREE DAYS BEFORE I'M SORRY YOU'RE NOT PUTTING ME IN THAT STRESS BUT WE HAVE A GOOD TIME AND DEFINITELY EVERYBODY SHOULD BE PROUD OF BOTH DAVIS PRIDE AND WHAT WOODLAND PRIDE HAS DONE IN THE LAST SIX YEARS SO UM PLEASE THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYBODY WHO HAS SPONSORED AND EVERYBODY THAT WILL ATTEND.
DEFINITELY COME OUT AND SEE THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE HELPED PUT IN TO GROW FROM 500 PERSON PICNIC TO TO SEVEN THOUSAND THANK YOU AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE RESOLUTION AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE LGBT COMMUNITY IN YELLOW COUNTY THE
[00:55:01]
CHAIR IS GOING TO NOW TAKE A POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T PUT IT ON THE AGENDA, BUT JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE, AS I ALREADY MENTIONED, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE.IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED, YOU'RE LUCKY IF YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE RIGHT DOWNSTAIRS IS A VOTING CENTER.
MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR BALLOTS IN TODAY, AND IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON MAILING IT, MAKE SURE THAT IT GETS STAMPED BY THE POST OFFICE, BUT BETTER YET, THERE'S LOTS
[ 9:00 a.m. Community Services]
OF PLACES ALL AROUND THE COUNTY THAT YOU CAN PUT IT INTO A BALLOT BOX.OKAY, WE WILL NOW MOVE TO OUR TIME SET AGENDA.
IT IS NOT QUITE 9 O'CLOCK, IT'S 10 O'CLOCK, BUT WE WILL HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE READ BY TITLE ONLY, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNTY OF YOLO AND THE SITES PROJECT AUTHORITY REGARDING THE SITES REVERSIVAR PROJECT.
SO I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
HEARING OR ARE YOU GOING TO TALK FIRST? OH, THANK YOU.
I SEE PHIL PUGLOVICH IS UP HERE.
I'LL PROVIDE A PRESENTATION THEN WE CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO I'M GOING TO TALK FIRST BEFORE I GET INTO THE PRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT THIS IS AND WHAT THIS ISN'T.
SO THE SITES RESERVOIR PROJECT IS A PROJECT OF THE SITES PROJECT AUTHORITY.
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE AUTHORITY, JERRY BROWN, IS HERE TODAY AND NO STAFF PERSON, NO COUNTY STAFF PERSON IS AN EXPERT ON ALL ASPECTS OF THIS PROJECT.
SO IF WE HAVE MORE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, I'LL LOOK TO JERRY IN ALL LIKELIHOOD TO HELP ANSWER THOSE.
THIS PROJECT WAS APPROVED BY THE SITE'S PROJECT AUTHORITY.
THE RESERVOIR CONSTRUCTION, THE DUNAGAN PIPELINE THAT WE'RE HERE TO FOCUS ON TODAY, AND THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE PIPELINE AND THE TEHAMA-COLUSA CANAL WAS ALL APPROVED BY THE SITE'S PROJECT AUTHORITY IN 2023, LATE 2023.
THEY DEFENDED THAT PROJECT THROUGH A SECRET CHALLENGE THAT WAS DECIDED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, INCLUDING A COURT OF APPEAL DECISION.
SO THE PROJECT ITSELF IS ALREADY APPROVED.
THE QUESTION BEFORE THE BOARD TODAY IS WHETHER TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
THAT WILL FIX, REALLY FREEZE, THREE THINGS RELATING TO COUNTY REGULATORY OVERSIGHT OF THE PROJECT.
COUNTY GRADING PERMIT AUTHORITY, COUNTY ENCROACHMENT PERMIT AUTHORITY, AND COUNTY ROAD IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS.
EACH OF THOSE TOUCHES ON HOW THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED.
BUT IT'S THOSE THINGS ALONE THAT WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS.
WE'RE NOT APPROVING THE PROJECT OR ANY PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION OR LAND USE ACTIVITY AS PART OF THIS ACTION.
THAT WAS ALL APPROVED SEPARATELY.
AND THAT'S WHY THIS PROJECT DID NOT GO TO THE DUNNIGAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR CONSIDERATION.
IT'S NOT A DISCRETIONARY PLANNING APPLICATION, WHICH IS THE TRIGGER FOR REFERRING A PROJECT TO THAT COMMITTEE.
AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT STAFF CAN'T ENGAGE WITH THE COMMITTEE ON WHAT THIS PROJECT IS.
HOW TRAFFIC AND OTHER ASPECTS OF DUNNIGAN PIPELINE IMPLEMENTATION MIGHT AFFECT THE COMMUNITY GOING FORWARD.
BUT THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU TODAY IS VERY LIMITED, AND IT'S NOT A TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
AS I SAID, IT REALLY FREEZES THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUNTY REGULATIONS FOR PROJECT CONSTRUCTION.
SO WITH THAT LONG INTRODUCTION, I'LL JUMP INTO THE PRESENTATION ITSELF.
IN GENERAL, THIS SLIDE SHOWS SOME ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT, HOW IT WAS DEVELOPED, GENERALLY WHAT IT WILL DO, AND WHAT SOME OF ITS PHYSICAL FEATURES ARE.
THE OVERALL STORAGE CAPACITY OF THE SITE'S RESERVOIR, WHICH I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU ON THE NEXT SLIDE, IS PRIMARILY LOCATED IN COLUSA AND GLEN COUNTIES, AND ONLY INFRASTRUCTURE EXTENDS DOWN INTO YOLO COUNTY.
IT'S ABOUT THE SAME IN TERMS OF ITS OVERALL STORAGE CAPACITY AS LAKE BERRYESSA.
[01:00:02]
WHICH IN TURN IS ABOUT ONE-THIRD THE STORAGE CAPACITY OF SOME OF THE LARGER STATE RESERVOIRS LIKE LAKE SHASTA.THE IDEA BEHIND THIS PROJECT IS THAT IT WILL STORE STORMWATER IN WET YEARS AND THEN RELEASE IT FOR DELIVERY TO COMMUNITIES, FARMS, AND FOR ECOSYSTEM PURPOSES IN DRY AND CRITICAL YEARS.
AND GENERALLY, IT DOES HAVE A DRAFT STATE WATER RIGHT APPROVAL BY THE STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD.
IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND FINAL ACTION ON THAT IS EXPECTED IN JULY.
SO IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG PROCESS.
THIS SLIDE INDICATES THAT THE JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY, THE SITES PROJECT AUTHORITY, WAS FORMED IN 2010.
EVEN AT THAT POINT, THE PROJECT HAD BEEN UNDER DISCUSSION FOR MANY YEARS AND IN SOME EARLY PLANNING STAGES.
AND AS THIS SLIDE INDICATES, IT'S EXPECTED TO BEGIN CONSTRUCTION LATER THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
IT HAS ABOUT A SEVEN-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
IN CASE I FORGET TO SAY IT LATER, THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE COMPONENT HAS ABOUT A ONE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
AND THEN SEPARATELY, THE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE PIPELINE AND THE TEHAMA-COLUSA CANAL ALSO HAS ABOUT A ONE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, BUT THAT'S IN A VERY DISCRETE FOOTPRINT.
SO THE, LET'S SEE IF I CAN USE THIS CURSOR HERE.
THE SITES RESERVOIR IS PRIMARILY LOCATED IN GLENN AND COLUSA COUNTIES.
THAT'S THE COUNTY LINE RIGHT THERE.
GLENN COUNTY BEING TO THE NORTH, COLUSA TO THE SOUTH.
YOLO COUNTY IS ACTUALLY DOWN OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE MAP, BUT THIS LITTLE INSERT UP TO THE RIGHT SHOWS THE TEHAMA-COLUSA CANAL INTERCONNECTING TO THE PROPOSED DUNAGAN PIPELINE, WHICH WILL THEN RUN ABOUT FOUR MILES TO THE COLUSA BASIN DRAIN, WHERE WATER FROM THE PROJECT WILL BE MADE TO THE SACRAMENTO RIVER.
THIS IS A SLIDE THAT SHOWS THAT IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF DETAIL.
THIS IS THE TEHAMA-COLUSA CANAL.
CONNECTING TO THE COLUSA BASIN DRAIN, WHICH IS A SYSTEM THAT SPANS A COUPLE OF COUNTIES, AND THEN ULTIMATELY WATER WILL FLOW AND GO OUT INTO THE RIVER AND IT'S SENDING OUT FALL GATES.
IN TERMS OF PROJECT COMPONENTS IN THE COUNTY, AS THIS SLIDE SHOWS, IT'S THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE.
ITS FEATURES ARE ABOUT FOUR MILES IN LENGTH, SIX FEET BELOW THE GROUND SURFACE.
IT'S ABOUT NINE FEET IN ITS INTERNAL DIAMETER.
IT'S A PASSIVE GRAVITY-FED FACILITY.
WATER WILL FLOW JUST FED BY GRAVITY THROUGH THE PIPELINE TO THE OCCLUSIVE BASIN DRAIN, AND ITS CAPACITY IS ABOUT 01,000 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND.
IT WILL CROSS BOTH INTERSTATE 05, ROAD 99W, AND THERE WILL BE A RAIL.
SO THREE DIFFERENT CROSSINGS THAT WILL BE TUNNELED IN THE COURSE OF ITS CONSTRUCTION.
AND AS I SAID, IT WILL TERMINATE AT THE COLUSA BASIN DRAIN.
SO THE BOARD MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.
WE DON'T APPROVE THEM OFTEN, BUT WE DO MOST FREQUENTLY FOR GRAVEL MINING PROJECTS, WHICH, LIKE THIS PROJECT, OPERATE OVER A VERY, OR IMPLEMENTED, RATHER, OVER A 30-YEAR PERIOD.
THIS PROJECT HAS A COMPARATIVELY SHORTER.
THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD IS ABOUT SEVEN YEARS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS STRUCTURED SO THAT IT COVERS THE SEVEN-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, AS WELL AS THE INITIAL PERIOD OF OPERATIONS FOR A TOTAL TERM OF ABOUT 20 YEARS.
AS I EXPLAINED IN MY INTRODUCTION, AS THE LEFT-HAND SLIDE OF THIS SLIDE INDICATES, IN THAT PERIOD THE COUNTY IS COMMITTING NOT TO CHANGE LOCAL RULES THAT APPLY TO PROJECT CONSTRUCTION OR INITIAL PROJECT OPERATIONS.
AND REALLY THE BEST WE CAN IDENTIFY ARE THE THREE THINGS I MENTIONED.
ENCROACHMENT PERMITS FOR ROAD-RELATED WORK, GRADING PERMITS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PIPELINE ITSELF, AND THEN ROAD IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS FOR ANY ROAD REPAIR OR IMPROVEMENT WORK THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN OVER THE COURSE OF PROJECT CONSTRUCTION OR UPON ITS COMPLETION.
THERE'S A RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THIS SLIDE.
THERE'S AN INDICATION OF DIFFERENT BENEFITS OR ASSURANCES THE COUNTY RECEIVES AS A CONDITION OF ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THOSE RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS A PROJECT STATUS AND CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE.
I'VE COVERED SOME OF THIS ALREADY, BUT IN BRIEF, THE PROJECT WAS APPROVED BY THE AUTHORITY IN NOVEMBER OF 2023.
IT WAS COVERED BY SOME SPECIAL LEGISLATION THAT FAST-TRACKED THE CEQA CHALLENGE, AND BOTH THE SUPERIOR COURT CHALLENGE AND A COURT OF APPEAL PROCEEDING WERE DECIDED WITHIN THE NEXT SEVEN MONTHS, WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL, AND THE CEQA PROCESS WAS REDUCED FROM WHAT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD.
DOWN TO JUST SEVEN MONTHS FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE OF THAT LEGISLATION.
THE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW DOCUMENTS WERE UPHELD.
THIS YEAR, THE BOARD ISSUED A DRAFT WATER RIGHT PERMIT FOR THE PROJECT, AND OF COURSE, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERED THIS AT ITS MEETING ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED BOARD APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
AND THEN WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION COMING UP LATER THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.
[01:05:01]
I ADDRESSED CEQA VERY BRIEFLY.WE'RE RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A NOTICE EXEMPTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S THE SAME ACTION THAT GLUSA AND GLENCOE CAN APPROVE IN A NEARLY IDENTICAL.
OUR REASONING IS THAT THE PROJECT ITSELF HAS ALREADY BEEN IN SEPARATE ACTION, IS FOCUSED ON VESTING CERTAIN APPROVALS AND PROVIDING ASSURANCES TO THE COUNTY.
PROJECTS IN THE COUNTY INCLUDING PROJECTS THAT WILL HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THE GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS OF THE PROJECT.
THOSE PROJECTS HAVE NOT BEEN FORMULATED SO WHEN THEY ARE FORMULATED IF THEY'LL BE IMPLEMENTED IN YOLO COUNTY WE'LL COME BACK FOR ANY BOARD APPROVAL AND CEQA ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE.
SO AS FAR AS ROADS, THE PROJECTS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IT INCORPORATES PROVISIONS THAT WE NEGOTIATED BACK IN 2023 WHEN WE FIRST ENGAGED WITH THE AUTHORITY ON THIS PROJECT.
AT THAT TIME, WE NEGOTIATED PROVISIONS WHICH HAD BEEN INCORPORATED VIRTUALLY WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
AND THOSE PROVISIONS BASICALLY REQUIRE THE AUTHORITY TO COOPERATE WITH THE COUNTY IN DOING A PRE-CONSTRUCTION SURVEY OF COUNTY ROADS TO ESTABLISH THEIR EXISTING CONDITION, TO THEN PERFORM ANY WORK NECESSARY BOTH DURING AND AFTER THE PROJECT.
CONSTRUCTION TO THE EXTENT THE ROADS DEGRADE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC.
AND IN THE EVENT A NEW BRIDGE IS NEEDED, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY A BRIDGE WILL BE NEEDED OVER BIRD CREEK, WHICH IS LOCATED TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF DUNAGAN.
THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE DESIGN AGREEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROJECT.
THAT'S NOT ANTICIPATED, AND IT'S NOT BEFORE US TODAY FOR ANY ACTION.
THE IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS BOX AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SLIDE INCLUDES A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON HOW IMPROVEMENTS OR REPAIRS WILL BE UNDERTAKEN DURING THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT AND AFTER ITS COMPLETION.
BUT AS I SAID, IT'S A COOPERATIVE EFFORT IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE COUNTY AND VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE AGREED WITH THE AUTHORITY.
IN APPROVING THE PROJECT, THE AUTHORITY ADOPTED A NUMBER OF BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES.
I'VE ONLY HIGHLIGHTED FIVE HERE BECAUSE THESE ARE THE FIVE THAT ARE MOST LIKELY TO AFFECT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE PORTION OF THE PROJECT.
THEY RELATE TO HOW TOPSOIL EXCAVATED DURING CONSTRUCTION WILL BE HANDLED, DRAINAGE DURING CONSTRUCTION, CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION, AND THEN DUST CONTROL.
SO THERE'S VARIOUS BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TOUCHING EACH OF THOSE TOPICS THAT THE AUTHORITY APPROVED, AS I SAID.
THE AUTHORITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THOSE DURING THE COURSE OF PROJECT CONSTRUCTION.
AND IN THE EVENT THEY DO, JUST AS WE NEGOTIATED IN 2023, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PRESERVES A PROCESS, OR PROVIDES A PROCESS RATHER, WHEREBY THE AUTHORITY MEETS AND CONFERS WITH THE COUNTY, RECEIVES ANY OBJECTIONS OR CONCERNS FROM THE COUNTY OVER A 30-DAY PERIOD, AND THEN TO THE EXTENT WE NEED A MEETING TO DISCUSS THOSE CONCERNS, THERE'S AN EXECUTIVE-LEVEL MEETING COMMITMENT.
THEY'LL MEET WITH US TO HEAR OUR CONCERNS AND THEN PRESENT THOSE CONCERNS TO THEIR BOARD BEFORE MAKING ANY DECISION MODIFYING BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE.
AS FAR AS COMMUNITY BENEFITS, THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WORKING GROUP, I NEED TO DISTINGUISH THAT FROM THE DUNNIGAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
IT'S A WORKING GROUP FORMED BY THE AUTHORITY THAT I BELIEVE, AND JERRY CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON OPERATION OF THE DISCHARGES INTO THE COLUSA BASIN DRAIN.
IT'S FOCUSED ON ENSURING THAT OPERATION OF THE PROJECT AND WATER FLOWING DOWN THE COLUSA BASIN DRAIN DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH DRAINAGE OR AGRICULTURAL WATER SUPPLY NEEDS OF THE LANDOWNER'S VICINITY.
THE COUNTY DOES HAVE A STAFF SEAT ON THE WORKING GROUP, BUT IT'S, AS I SAID, FOCUSED ON THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE, AND IT MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OR MEASURES THE AUTHORITY UNDERTAKES TO...
IMPLEMENT TO ENSURE THAT ANY...
THEN JUST A COUPLE MORE ITEMS I'LL TOUCH ON.
LOCAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, CONSISTENT WITH OUR 2023 AGREEMENT.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES AN EMPHASIS ON LOCAL HIRING.
SO IT DEFINES A LOCAL AREA, WHICH ISN'T QUITE AS LOCAL AS YOU MIGHT THINK.
IT INCLUDES A HANDFUL OF COUNTIES, INCLUDING YOLO, BUT ALSO GLENN AND COLUSA.
AND THEN A PROJECT AREA, WHICH IS MORE EXPANSIVE.
IT'S ABOUT AN EIGHT-COUNTY AREA.
AND THERE ARE COMMITMENTS MADE TO HIRE FROM ACTUALLY, I GOT THAT REVERSED.
THE LOCAL AREA IS THE EIGHT-COUNTY AREA.
THE PROJECT AREA IS THE THREE-COUNTY AREA.
OF THEIR STAFF THAT WILL WORK ON THE PROJECT, NOT STAFF RATHER, BUT CONTRACTORS FROM THAT LOCAL AREA AND 20% FROM THE IMMEDIATE PROJECT AREA.
[01:10:01]
AND THEN FINALLY ON GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION, ONE THING WE NEGOTIATED THAT'S PRESERVED IN THIS AGREEMENT BACK IN 2023 IS A COMMITMENT THAT EVEN THOUGH THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE IS A VERY SMALL COMPONENT OF THE OVERALL PROJECT, THE AUTHORITY'S COMMITMENT TO MITIGATE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH OVERALL CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PROJECT THEY'LL COMMIT AT LEAST 20% OF THE DOLLARS SPENT TO PROJECTS OR PROGRAMS IN YOLO COUNTY.THAT'S PRESERVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
THEN FINALLY, A HANDFUL OF OTHER PROPERTY IN YOLO COUNTY EQUIVALENT TO THE PROPERTY TAXES AND PRIVATE OWNERSHIP WILL CONTINUE TO BE PAID BY THE AUTHORITY.
SALES TAX FOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE, PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT, OTHER THINGS THAT WOULD GENERATE SALES TAX, OCCURS IN YOLO COUNTY.
AND THERE'S SOME SPECIFIC ACTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT ARE CALCULATED TO ENSURE THAT PIPELINE PORTION OF THE PROJECT, WHAT THEY BUY TO IMPLEMENT IT, WILL PAY SALES TAX IN YOLO COUNTY.
THEY'RE COMMITTING TO PAY ANY DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES OR COUNTY PROCESSING FEES AS THEY EXIST AT THE TIME OF APPLICATIONS.
IN A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AT THE TIME OF PROJECT APPROVAL.
THEY'RE COMMITTING TO PAY WHATEVER'S IN FORCE AT THE TIME THEY MAKE AN APPLICATION.
FOR THE WOODLAND DAVIS CLEAN WATER AGENCY, THEY'VE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN HAVING A RIGHT TO PURCHASE WATER FROM THE PROJECT.
THEY'RE ON A WAIT LIST RIGHT NOW.
SO JUST LIKE SIMILAR AGENCIES IN GLENN AND COLUSA COUNTIES, THIS CLEAN WATER AGENCY WILL BE AMONG THOSE RECEIVING A FIRST REFUSAL.
THEY'LL RECEIVE A PRIORITY RIGHT IN THE EVENT THAT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY BECOMES AVAILABLE.
BUT NOW CAPACITY, THE WATER THAT THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE, IS ALREADY FULLY SUBSCRIBED.
THERE'S ALREADY A FULL RANGE OF PARTIES THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO BUY IT.
AND THEN FINALLY, YOLO BYPASS OPERATIONS.
THIS WAS A BIGGER CONCERN THREE YEARS AGO THAN IT IS TODAY.
AT THE TIME, BACK IN 2023, IT WAS EXPECTED THE PROJECT WOULD DISCHARGE WATER INTO THE OLO BYPASS, PARTICULARLY IN THE LATE SUMMER AND FALL, TO CREATE HABITAT AND ALSO TO CREATE ESSENTIALLY FISH FOOD THAT WOULD BE CONVEYED THROUGH THE BYPASS INTO THE DELTA.
THAT'S NO LONGER ON THE TABLE, BUT THE AGREEMENT DOES INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT IF A PROJECT LIKE THAT OR OPERATIONS LIKE THAT ARE CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE, THEY'RE NOT COVERED BY THE VESTED RIGHTS PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT, THE COUNTY'S REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
IN OTHER WORDS, IS MAINTAINED.
SO THAT TAKES ME TO THE FINAL SLIDE, AND THIS LAYS OUT THE PROCEDURE FOR THE BOARD TODAY.
IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING, WHICH YOU CAN OPEN AS SOON AS MY COMMENTS AND ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD ARE DONE.
AND THEN THERE'S THREE SPECIFIC ACTIONS, ACTIONS 2, 3, AND 4 HERE, RELATING TO CEQA, A DETERMINATION THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT MEETS REQUIREMENTS IN STATE LAW AND THE COUNTY CODE, AND THAT'S INCLUDED IN FINDINGS.
AND THEN FINALLY, TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE THAT ATTACHES THE DEVELOPMENT.
SO WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.
THANK YOU, PHIL, FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I KNOW THAT I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH YOU AND STAFF YESTERDAY, SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU PRIMARILY SOME OF THE SAME QUESTIONS I ASKED YOU DURING THAT MEETING.
IN REGARDS TO ROAD IMPROVEMENTS PROVISION, I KNOW THERE'S FIVE THAT WERE IDENTIFIED.
AND IN REGARDS TO THAT, WOULD THOSE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE TO BE MADE UP FRONT COSTS BY THE COUNTY? GET REIMBURSED BY THE SITE'S AUTHORITY, OR HOW DOES THAT WORK? YEAH, SO THE AUTHORITY IS COMMITTING TO PERFORM ALL REPAIRS AND ANY IMPROVEMENT AT ITS OWN COST.
AS I RECALL, THE WAY THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IS WRITTEN, THEY HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH I THINK WE HAVE A RIGHT TO INSTEAD INSIST THAT WE CONTRACT FOR THAT WORK.
AND THEY'RE ALSO COMMITTING IN THE AGREEMENT TO PAY ALL ASSOCIATED STAFF TIME.
FOR PERMITTING, FOR OVERSIGHT, ANY OTHER STAFF HAVE IN ACTUALLY IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT WORK.
AND I KNOW THIS, YOU MENTIONED IT'S A YEAR CONSTRUCTION PERIOD.
WITHIN THAT YEAR, THERE'S SOME TYPE OF LARGE POTHOLES, ISSUES AROUND THAT.
DOES IT GET FIXED IMMEDIATELY, OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THOSE ROAD REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT? SO MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THE AGREEMENT ALLOWS US TO SAY DURING PROJECT CONSTRUCTION A PROBLEM'S ARISEN POTHOLES OR OTHER STRUCTURAL ISSUES WITH THE ROAD AND REQUIRE THEM TO COME IN AND THERE'S A PROCESS TO IDENTIFY WHAT SORT OF CORRECTIVE ACTION MIGHT BE NECESSARY AND THAT'S WHERE THERE'S A BIT OF GIVE AND TAKE POTENTIALLY AROUND WHAT THE FIX SHOULD BE AS WELL AS THE TIMING OF IT BUT IT DOES PRESERVE OUR AUTHORITY TO TO TELL THEM COME IN AND FIX
[01:15:02]
THIS NOW OKAY AND IT'S A FOUR MILE PIPELINE.SO CAN YOU TALK ABOUT MORE ABOUT THE THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OF THE PROJECT? AND IF IF NATURALLY RESIDENTS OR PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD THEN REROUTE THEMSELVES TO OTHER COUNTY ROADS, WOULD THERE BE AN IMPACT ON THOSE COUNTY ROADS? THEY'RE NOT IDENTIFIED IN THE SLIDES.
SO THE OVERALL PEAK CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC FOR THE DUNNIGAN PIPELINE PORTION OF THE PROJECT, I CHECKED THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT YESTERDAY.
THE PEAK CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC IS ESTIMATED AT ABOUT 300 TRIPS PER DAY, AND THAT 300 TRIPS IS ABOUT EQUALLY SPLIT BETWEEN EMPLOYEES TRAVELING TO THE WORK SITE AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE DAY AND TRUCK TRIPS THAT WILL BE ACCESSING THE SITE AND POTENTIALLY HAULING SOIL AWAY OR DOING WHATEVER THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO IN THE COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION.
FIVE DIFFERENT ROADS IMPACTED.
SO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CAPACITY OF THE ROADS RELATIVE TO ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND CONCLUDED THAT THE AMOUNT OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC IS IN NO CASE MORE THAN 6% OF THE OVERALL CAPACITY OF THE ROAD.
SO 300 TRIPS PER DAY, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OR DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MANY, BUT RELATIVE TO THE CAPACITY OF THOSE ROADS, THE EIR DETERMINED IT'S A VERY LOW VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THAT IS WELL WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF THE ROADS.
IF RESIDENTS ADJUST THEIR TRAFFIC PATTERNS IN RESPONSE TO CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC, AND THERE WILL BE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT'S FOCUSED ON TRAFFIC WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNAGE, FLAGS TO CONTROL TRAFFIC, OTHER THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT WE CUSTOMARILY SEE WITH PROJECTS THAT AFFECT ROADS.
IF RESIDENTS, OTHERS, START USING DIFFERENT ROADS, THOSE ROADS ARE IMPACTED.
THE AGREEMENT ALLOWS US TO SAY THAT THE PROJECT IS HAVING...
AND EFFECT ON OTHER ROADS BEYOND THOSE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED AS ROUTES FOR CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC.
SO IT'S NOT LIMITED TO JUST THE ROADS THAT CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC USES.
IF RESIDENTS START USING OTHER ROADS AND ANY DAMAGE TO THOSE ROADS OCCURS THROUGH THE INCREASED WEAR AND TEAR, THE AGREEMENT ALSO OBLIGATES THE AUTHORITY TO ADDRESS IMPACTS TO THOSE ROADS.
AND JUST MY LAST POINT BEFORE I GET INTO COMMENTS, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS QUESTION PERIOD, MY LAST QUESTION WOULD BE ALONG THE LINES OF YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THIS PROCESS DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE DUNNIGAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE, BUT IT DID GO THROUGH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
SO THE QUESTION AROUND THAT IS THAT IF WE WERE TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM FOR A FUTURE DAY.
IS THERE A TIMELINE THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MAYBE KICK IT BACK TO THE DUNNIGAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE? WERE THERE BACK TO THE PROJECT? YEAH, I SHOULD ASK JERRY TO ADDRESS THAT.
IF YOU WANT HIM TO COME UP NOW, HE CAN DO THAT.
FRESH IN OUR MINDS, THE QUESTION.
IT'S PROJECT AUTHORITY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
SO WHERE WE ARE IN THE SCHEDULE IS A VERY CRITICAL POINT.
PHIL MENTIONED THE ISSUANCE OF THE WATER RIGHT, AND REALLY EVERYTHING HINGES UPON THE SECURING OF THAT WATER RIGHT, EXPECTING THAT TO OCCUR IN SEPTEMBER.
BUT WE HAVE ALSO A START WHAT WE NEXT MONTH, WHICH...
INITIATES THIS PROCESS WHERE 22 LOCAL WATER DISTRICTS, THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ALL GO THROUGH THEIR PROCESS OVER A FOUR-MONTH PERIOD TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS TO SIGN CONTRACTS.
AND SO WE'RE EXPECTING THAT AT THE END OF THAT PERIOD WE WOULD BE THEN INTO CONSTRUCTION.
OUR BOARD HAS ESTABLISHED, AS WELL AS THE STATE ELEMENT OF THE PROJECT, THAT THESE AGREEMENTS WITH THE COUNTIES ARE NECESSARY TO INITIATE THAT INVESTOR COMMITMENT PERIOD SO WE HAVE TO HAVE THESE THINGS SIGNED SEALED AND DELIVERED BEFORE WE START THAT NEXT MONTH AND SO ANY SORT OF A DELAY WOULD HAVE AN EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO START THAT PROCESS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF OTHER I DID HEAR THE COMMENT OF MR. BUSH, AND I DO WANT TO EXTEND AN INVITATION AND AN OFFER TO MEET WITH HIM AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT HIS CONCERNS.
WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH LANDOWNERS FOR YEARS NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROJECT IS INTEGRATED INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IN AN EFFECTIVE WAY THAT MEETS EVERYBODY'S NEEDS.
ARE THERE OTHER BOARD QUESTIONS?
[01:20:09]
OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND I WILL ALLOW THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE THIS MORNING WOULD LIKE TO HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL MINUTES.I'D LIKE TO COME SPEAK OR ANYBODY ELSE.
AGAIN, MY NAME IS COMMITTEE ALSO IN DUNNIGAN.
SPEAK FOR A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYBODY.
FIRST OF ALL, THE SITES PROJECT IS A GOOD IDEA.
THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT, WHERE THEY GOT LOTS OF MONEY TO SPEND ON THAT WATER.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING TO END UP HAPPENING TO THAT WATER. YOU SPEAK OF THE BENEFITS, A COMMITTEE MEMBER, I WANT TO COME TO THE...
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROJECT, WHERE THE PIPELINE GOES, IT DOESN'T HELP ANYBODY.
IT BASICALLY JUST BYPASSES DUNNIGAN, GOES INTO THE DRAIN, AND OUT THE RIVER.
SO THERE ARE NO BENEFITS THAT I SEE TO THE COMMUNITY EXCEPT THE FARMERS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN IT.
THEY REALLY DON'T GET TO INSTALL OVER.
PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROGRAM, SO THEY'VE BEEN BUYING WATER.
MY FARM, I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WHEN YOU PUT THE PIPELINE IN, AND WHERE THE PIPELINE GOES, THAT SOIL IS A LITTLE SANDIER.
WHEN YOU PUT A NEW PIPELINE IN, I DON'T...
COULD NOT DO AREAS BECAUSE THE WASHOUT BRIDGES WERE WASHED OR FILLED UP PROPOSED PIPELINE HAD FLOODED OUT.
MR. BUSH, YOUR TWO MINUTES ARE UP.
SO DON'T BYPASS OUR COMMUNITY INPUT.
IS THERE ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? NO, CHAIR.
I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PUBLIC COMMENT, CLERK.
I WILL THEN CLOSE THE HEARING TO BOARD DISCUSSION.
AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE SPEAKER, NEIL BUSH, AND I KNOW THAT HE'S PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS COMMUNITY COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES OUT IN DUNNIGAN, I THINK.
I THINK WHERE I'M TRYING TO LAND IS A TRY TO MEDIATE THE SITUATION WHERE THERE'S SOME TYPE OF AGREEMENT HERE.
I KNOW THAT WE HEARD FROM JERRY BROWN THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS PACKAGED UP, SUPPORTED, SIGNED OFF THIS MONTH.
WE DO HAVE A BOARD MEETING NEXT WEEK, BUT THAT'S JUST SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BUDGET.
JUNE 23RD, WE DO HAVE A REGULAR BOARD MEETING.
IF WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH NEIL BUSH AND THE COMMITTEE, BUT IT HAS TO HAVE PARAMETERS.
THE DECISION IS ALREADY MADE, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPACTS.
HE WAS BRINGING UP REALLY GOOD IMPACTS THAT MAYBE WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT BECAUSE HE LIVES OUT THERE.
HE'S SEEN WHAT'S HAPPENED IN DUNNIGAN.
HE UNDERSTANDS THE SOIL A LITTLE BIT MORE.
SO IN REGARDS TO IMPACTS AND HOW WE CAN FINE TUNE THIS PROJECT.
SO THAT WAY THERE'S SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY, AND ALSO HE'S TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF ANY TYPE OF NEGATIVE PROJECT CONSTRUCTION THAT MIGHT FURTHER DELAY OR NOT GET SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE FUTURE.
SO IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, WEEK AND A HALF, TO MITIGATE SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS AND THEN BE ABLE TO BRING BACK TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BY JUNE 23RD? AND I SEE A HEAD NODDING YES.
I JUST IMPLORE THE REST OF THE BOARD IF WE CAN POSTPONE THIS ITEM UNTIL JUNE 23RD.
IS THAT OKAY? I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM JUST THAT.
I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS, SUPERVISOR, AND I'M GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE.
I JUST WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM STAFF IF THEY THINK THEY CAN HAVE SOME SORT OF DISCUSSION WITH THE DONE AGAIN ADVISORY
[01:25:01]
COMMITTEE BEFORE THE 23RD.YES, AND I'D LIKE TO JUST ASK TWO CLARIFYING QUESTIONS SO I DON'T HAVE TO ASK IT THE NEXT TIME SO THAT I UNDERSTAND THE PROJECT BETTER.
BUT THEN BEFORE WE CLOSE OUT THIS.
I WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK TO YOUR RECOMMENDATION.
DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? THERE WE GO.
AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IT'S BEST THAT YOU PROBABLY WORK OUT SOME OF THE DETAILS IS BECAUSE ON THE HEELS OF THE DAVIS WOODLAND WATER PROJECT, THERE WAS DISCUSSIONS ABOUT REPAIRING THE ROADS, PUTTING THEM BACK IN GOOD REPAIR.
ASSUMED THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THAT MEANT, THE REALITY WAS AFTER THE PROJECT WAS FINISHED, THE PERCENTAGE OR THE PROPORTION OF THE PROJECT'S RESPONSIBILITY WAS CONTRIBUTED, BUT IT DIDN'T AMOUNT TO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ENOUGH MONEY TO ACTUALLY FINISH FIXING THE ROADS THAT WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT.
SO THE PROJECT PROPONENTS WERE LIKE, WELL, HERE'S 38% OF THE FUNDING THAT YOU WOULD NEED BECAUSE WE FIGURED THE CALCULATIONS ARE 38%.
COUNTY DIDN'T HAVE THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDS TO FIX THE ROAD, SO THERE WE WERE.
AND IT WAS JUST THIS GOOFY MOMENT OF, LIKE, HOW DID WE NOT IMAGINE THIS SITUATION HAPPENING? AND SO FROM EXPERIENCE, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS DOWN THAT WAY? I DID HAVE JUST TWO FUNCTIONAL QUESTIONS.
WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE WATER? YOU SAID THAT 100% OF THE WATER HAS ALREADY BEEN.
THERE'S MORE APPLICANTS THAN THERE'S ACTUAL WATER.
SO WHO'S GETTING THE WATER? YEAH, THREE YEARS AGO I PROBABLY COULD HAVE ANSWERED THAT, BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE LOOKED AT THE LIST OF PURCHASERS, AND MAYBE WE CAN INVITE JERRY UP TO ANSWER THAT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.
SO THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A BENEFICIARY PAYS PROJECT.
SO THOSE THAT BENEFIT ARE PAYING FOR THE PROJECT.
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF OUR PROJECT STRUCTURE, WE HAVE THE STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT ARE GETTING ABOUT A THIRD OF THE BENEFITS FROM THE PROJECT.
THE OTHER TWO-THIRDS ARE LOCAL WATER.
OF THOSE TWO-THIRDS, ABOUT 20% OF THOSE ARE WITHIN THE NORTH STATE.
80% ARE EITHER IN THE DELTA OR SOUTH OF THE DELTA.
IS IT METROPOLITAN? JUST WONDERING.
YES, METROPOLITAN IS A PARTICIPANT IN THE PROJECT.
I JUST WANT TO DO A LITTLE TRUTH-TELLING HERE.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE LARGER PROJECT PARTICIPANTS, YES.
AND JUST SUPERVISOR ALLEN, THAT COMES FROM A SOURCE OF HISTORY.
PHIL MENTIONED THE PROJECT STARTED IN 2010 WITH THE JPA FORMING.
THE JPA WENT OUT TO EVERYBODY IN THE LOCAL AREA, INCLUDING YOLO COUNTY.
YOLO COUNTY FLOOD AND WATER, AND THAT WAS WHAT GENERATED THE INTEREST AND THE NEEDS FOR THE NORTH STATE.
ONCE ALL THOSE NEEDS WERE MET, THEN THE PROPONENTS WENT OUTSIDE.
AND THEN MY OTHER QUESTION IS THE DUNNIGAN, IN OUR THINGS IT SAYS PIPE.
IS IT AN ACTUAL PIPE OR IS IT A DITCH? IT'S A PIPE.
OKAY, YEAH, SO GENERALLY THOSE DON'T, UNLESS THE PIPE BREAKS, IF THERE WAS BIG WATER, IF THERE WAS FLOW, IT WOULDN'T WASH OUT A DITCH BECAUSE IT'S ENCLOSED IN THE PIPE.
THAT MAY BE A CONCERN RELEVANT TO THE ONE-YEAR CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, BUT THE PIPELINE ITSELF IS GOING TO BE UNDER THAT.
OKAY, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
SO IF THE BOARD DOES, IF YOU DO MOVE TO PUSH THIS OUT, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO A DATE AND TIME CERTAIN.
AND JUST CHECKING, THEN WE WOULD, THE WHOLE ITEM WOULD, THAT WE WOULD MOVE THE WHOLE ITEM FORWARD.
THESE ARE A PACKAGE DEAL WE'RE GOING TO DO TWO THROUGH, WELL, ACTUALLY ONE, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. MOVE TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM UNTIL JUNE 23, 2026, BOARD MEETING.
SO MOVED BY SUPERVISOR BARAJAS, SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR FRERICHS.
OKAY, THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A LITTLE TIME, A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO, SO WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO PROBABLY SEEING YOU AGAIN ON JUNE 23RD.
AND THEN WE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT BIG, LONG PRESENTATION AGAIN.
THAT SHOULD BE STILL FRESH IN OUR MIND.
WE HAVE ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING NEXT.
TO CONSIDER THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE EL MACERO COUNTRY CLUB GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT PROJECT AND THEN CONSIDER THE FOUR, YES, SIX, THE SIX ITEMS. THERE'S A PRESENTATION.
[01:30:07]
GOOD MORNING, CHAIR ALLEN AND MEMBERS OF THE...CAN YOU SPEAK RIGHT INTO THE MICROPHONE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU? YEP, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
MY VOICE IS A LITTLE WEAK, TOO, I'M NOTICING, SO...
OKAY, RIGHT INTO THE MICROPHONE LIKE YOU'RE A ROCK STAR.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? ALL RIGHT, I'M TRACY GONZALEZ.
I'M THE ASSOCIATE PLANNER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES, AND TODAY I WILL BE PRESENTING A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST SUBMITTED BY THE EL NACERRO COUNTRY CLUB.
AND THE INTENT OF THIS REQUEST IS TO FACILITATE AN EXPANSION AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF FUTURE RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN EL NACERRO.
OH, ACTUALLY, SUPERVISOR BRAJAS IS GONE.
SO WHEN HE COMES BACK, I'D LIKE CLARIFICATION ON WHETHER THE OUTREACH SHOULD BE TO MR. BUSH OR TO THE FULL DUNNIGAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
STAFF WAS NOT CLEAR ABOUT THAT, NOR WAS MR. BROWN.
SO IF THE BOARD HAS ANY ADVICE, WE COULD INITIALLY TALK WITH MR. BUSH, AND IF HE'S INSISTENT ON BRINGING IN THE FULL COMMITTEE, PROCEED THAT WAY.
BUT I THINK THE STAFF THOUGHT WAS TO REACH OUT TO MR. BUSH AND TRY TO ADDRESS CONCERNS WITH HIM.
I JUST HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM.
I GOT HIS PHONE NUMBER SO STAFF CAN REACH OUT TO HIM.
SO THE DIRECTION IS TO HIM AND NOT TO THE FULL COMMITTEE ADVISORY? FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND STAFF.
SO THAT WOULD PULL IN THE FULL COMMITTEE? YES.
I GUESS ACTUALLY ONE LAST QUICK CLARIFICATION.
NO, JUST AS, WELL, THIS IS IMPORTANT, SORRY.
SO I WOULD SAY, I MEAN, AND I ASSUME THAT YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY, LIKE, YOU KNOW, I THINK STAFF MAKES THE BEST ATTEMPT AT GETTING THE ENTIRE ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOGETHER IN THE TIME ALLOTTED.
AND IF THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE, LIKE, I MEAN, I DON'T THINK, I PERSONALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE US NOT MOVE FORWARD ON JUNE 23RD. I MEAN, WE'RE GIVING THE EXTRA AMOUNT OF TIME TO ALLOW FOR A GOOD FAITH EFFORT, OF COURSE, WITH DISCUSSION OF THE RESIDENTS AND SUCH.
I ASSUME THAT'S THE CASE, BUT I WANTED TO.
YEAH, BE ABLE TO HAVE A MEETING, THE BEST, I MEAN, WHOEVER CAN ATTEND CAN ATTEND.
THE DECISION HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE TO OBVIOUSLY MOVE FORWARD.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THOSE OVER TO COUNTY STAFF AND MR. JERRY BROWN FROM THE SITES RESERVOIR, SO THAT WAY WE CAN WORK TOGETHER IN COLLABORATION AND TANDEM.
I WOULD JUST ADD THAT, YOU KNOW, THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND THE DUNNIGAN FULL COMMITTEE ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO PUT WRITTEN COMMENTS INTO THE RECORD.
AND THAT I THINK THAT'S AN INVITATION TO THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
AND WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER CONTINUATION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO GIVE ANY INPUT, THEN THAT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.
SO EITHER DURING OR AFTER THE PRESENTATION THAT I PROVIDE, WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES WITH THE EL MACERO COUNTRY CLUB AS WELL AS CUNNINGHAM ENGINEERING WITH US TO ASSIST WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
OKAY, SO JUMPING RIGHT INTO IT, THE PROJECT IS LOCATED EAST OF THE CITY OF DAVIS ON A PORTION OF THE 170-ACRE EL MACERO GOLF COURSE PARCEL.
THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION AND ZONING OF THIS PARCEL IS BOTH PARKS AND RECREATION.
IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE EXPANSION OF RESIDENTIAL USES, THE PROJECT REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING DISCRETIONARY APPROVALS.
SO FIRST, A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO REDESIGNATE APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE, A LITTLE BIT LESS, OF THE GOLF COURSE PARCEL FROM PARKS AND RECREATION TO RESIDENTIAL LOW.
AND THAT PARKS AND RECREATION DESIGNATION IS SHOWN IN THAT BRIGHT GREEN COLOR UP ON THE TOP IMAGE THERE.
A REZONE IS ALSO REQUIRED TO REZONE APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE FROM PARKS AND RECREATION TO LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH PLAN DEVELOPMENT NUMBER 66 OVERLAY.
AND SO THE CURRENT RL-PD66 OVERLAY IS SHOWN UP THERE IN THE YELLOW COLOR WITH THE RED OUTLINE.
PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES APPROVAL OF A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP 5267 TO CREATE THE THREE PARCELS THAT ARE PROPOSED, AS WELL AS A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A REDUCED FRONT YARD SETBACK OF 35 FEET TO 30 FEET.
AND THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IS IMPORTANT ONCE THESE LOTS, YOU KNOW, IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED, IF THE LOTS ARE SOLD AND BUILT OUT IN THE FUTURE.
THAT JUST MEANS HOW FAR BACK FROM THEIR FRONT PROPERTY LINE OR THE ROAD THEY NEED TO BUILD ANYTHING, MOSTLY THEIR PRIMARY HOME.
AND THEN IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE'S NO CONSTRUCTION PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
WE ARE JUST PURELY REDESIGNATING AND REZONING A PORTION OF THE GOLF COURSE PARCEL AND THEN CREATING THESE THREE LOTS TO FACILITATE THE EXPANSION.
AND THEN IN THE BOTTOM IMAGE HERE, I DID PROVIDE AN AERIAL IMAGE TO SHOW YOU WHERE LOTS ONE, TWO, AND THREE ARE PROPOSED.
SO AT THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE GOLF COURSE PARCEL IS WHERE
[01:35:02]
LOT ONE WILL BE WITH ACCESS OFF OF, I BELIEVE THAT IS CLUBHOUSE DRIVE.AND THEN LOTS TWO AND THREE AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE GOLF COURSE PARCEL WILL BE OFF OF COUNTRY CLUB.
NEXT I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND BRIEFLY DISCUSS THE PROJECT TIMELINE.
SO AS YOU MAY REMEMBER, JULY 22ND OF LAST YEAR, THIS PROJECT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AS A PRE-APPLICATION FOR BOARD AUTHORIZATION OF THE PROJECT.
THE BOARD DID UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZE THE SUBMISSION OF A FULL OR FORMAL APPLICATION TO BE ENVIRONMENTALLY EVALUATED AND TO STUDY THE PROPOSED GPA AND RELATED REQUESTS.
AND THEN IN AUGUST, AFTER BOARD AUTHORIZATION, AUGUST 2025, FORM APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED BY THE COUNTRY CLUB DURING THE PROJECT REVIEW PERIOD STAFF DID SOLICIT FEEDBACK FROM FROM AGENCIES WHO HAVE PERMITTING AUTHORITY AND WE ALSO SENT OUT A COURTESY NOTICE TO INTERESTED PARTIES AS WELL AS APPROXIMATELY 560 ADDRESSES IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEN DECEMBER OF 2025 IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH ASSEMBLY BILL 52 AND SENATE BILL 18 FOR TRIBAL CONSULTATION, STAFF DID DISTRIBUTE A PROJECT NOTIFICATION LETTER TO THE TRIBES IN THE AREA.
YOCHADIHI WINTAN NATION RESPONDED TO THE PROJECT NOTIFICATION AND EXPRESSED INTEREST.
CONSULTATION WAS HELD VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM FEBRUARY OF 2026.
AND THEN AFTER THIS MEETING, STAFF DID INCORPORATE PRE-PROJECT PERSONNEL TRAINING AND TREATMENT PROTOCOLS FOR ANY DISCOVERY OF TRIBAL, CULTURAL, AND HUMAN REMAINS AT THE SITE.
SITE IN THE EVENT THAT THOSE ARE DISCOVERED ONCE THE PROJECT SITE IS BUILT OUT.
FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, STAFF DID PREPARE INITIAL STUDY AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE PROJECT.
NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION WAS CIRCULATED FOR PUBLIC REVIEW FOR 30 DAYS.
AND THEN THE OUTCOME OF THE NEGATIVE DECLARATION DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE EXISTING THAT SUPPORTED A FAIR ARGUMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS.
THEREFORE, NO MITIGATION WAS REQUIRED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT.
AND THEN IT SHOULD BE NOTED IN APRIL OF 2026, THE PROJECT WAS TAKEN BEFORE THE SOUTH DAVIS CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
THE COMMITTEE DID VOTE UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
AND THEN AT THE MAY 14TH PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, THE COMMISSION DID UNANIMOUSLY VOTE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT TO THE BOARD.
AS PART OF THEIR MOTION, THEY DID ASK THAT STAFF CLARIFY THE PROJECT FINDINGS.
WE DIDN'T MISCHARACTERIZE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENCES THAT COULD BE ALLOWED BY THE PROJECT PER THE RL PD66 REGULATIONS.
THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED AND ARE IN THE STAFF REPORT MATERIALS FOR YOU.
AND THEN THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT THE VARIANCE REQUEST BE APPLIED TO ALL THREE PARCELS RATHER THAN JUST LOTS TWO AND THREE AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED.
ALL RIGHT, AND THAT LEADS US TO THE LAST BULLET POINT HERE.
CONSIDERATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND TO TAKE FINAL ACTION ON THE PROJECT COMPONENTS.
OKAY THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES WILL RUN THROUGH SOME EXHIBITS, KIND OF BREAK UP THE WORDINESS OF THE PRESENTATION HERE.
SO THIS SLIDE AND THE NEXT SLIDE ARE GOING TO BE ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME, IT'S JUST THIS SIDE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DESIGNATION.
SO ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE WE SEE WHAT THE EXISTING LAND USE DESIGNATION IS, WHICH IS PARKS AND RECREATION.
WE ARE CHANGING ONLY ABOUT AN ACRE.
OF THE 170 ACRE GOLF COURSE PARCEL TO RESIDENTIAL LOW.
AND THEN IN THE RIGHT HAND IMAGE YOU WILL SEE A BIGGER IMAGE HERE OF WHERE LOTS ONE, TWO, AND THREE WILL BE LOCATED.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE REMAINING 169 ACRES OF THE GOLF COURSE PARCEL WILL RETAIN ITS PARKS AND RECREATION LAND USE DESIGNATION AND ZONING.
AND THEN AGAIN VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST SLIDE ITS EXISTING DESIGNATION PARKS RECREATION AND THEN WE WILL BE CHANGING THAT TO THE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL WITH THE PLAN DEVELOPMENT NUMBER 66 OVERLAY.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE EXISTING COMMUNITY MEMBERS OUT THERE ARE ALREADY SUBJECT TO THOSE ZONING REGULATIONS.
SO IT'S JUST FAIR THAT WE WOULD POP OUT THE BOUNDARIES OF THE ROPD 66 AREA AND INCORPORATE THESE THREE NEW LOTS IF APPROVED INTO THAT SO THAT THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME REGULATIONS.
PARCELS HERE ARE ON TENANT PARCEL MAP NUMBER 5267.
SO THE FIRST LOT ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, AGAIN, THESE ARE VERY SMALL LOTS.
THEY'RE NOT VERY LARGE IN SIZE, BUT THEY ARE COMPARABLE TO THE LOTS THAT ARE IN EL MACERO.
THEY RANGE ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 0.2 ACRES TO A LITTLE LESS THAN ONE ACRE.
SO LOT NUMBER ONE, ABOUT 13,000 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE.
ITS ACCESS IS OFF OF CLUBHOUSE DRIVE.
AND THERE ARE SEWER AND WATER CONNECTIONS READILY AVAILABLE FOR LOTS 2 AND 3 HERE.
[01:40:02]
IT CONTRACTS WITH THE CITY OF DAVIS FOR WATER AND SEWER AS PROVIDED THROUGH THE EL MESTERO COUNTY SERVICE AREA.HOWEVER, LOT 1 WILL REQUIRE ABOUT A 169-FOOT EXTENSION FOR THE SEWER MAIN TO CONNECT.
LOTS 2 AND 3 ALREADY HAVE THOSE CONNECTIONS ON THE FRONTING ROADWAYS.
AND THEN AS PART OF THIS PROJECT, THERE WAS A VARIANCE REQUEST, AGAIN, TO REDUCE THE 35-FOOT SETBACK.
THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AS REQUIRED BY PD 66 TO 30 FEET AND THAT'S TO MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING ENVELOPE ON ADJACENT LOTS THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS AND WE ALSO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES AGAIN FROM THE COUNTRY CLUB IN CUNNINGHAM ENGINEERING THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY BOARD QUESTIONS TRACY, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE US PLAIN LANGUAGE ABOUT WHATEVER THE NUMBER OF 66 OVERLAY MEANS.
SO IT'S AN EXTENSION OF OUR ZONING CODE.
THE PARCELS OUT THERE, THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR ZONED LOW-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.
AND SO PD66 IS BASICALLY JUST AN EXTENSION OF THAT ZONING CODE THAT HAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS OR SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
IT COULD BE FOR HOW MANY HOMES THAT ARE ALLOWED OUT THERE.
HOW BIG THOSE HOMES COULD BE AND SO IT'S JUST DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OKAY THAT WOULD MATCH THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY THEN UM I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING DO WE HAVE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK YES CHAIR WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT CARD AND THAT WILL BE MATT WILLIAMS AS A REMINDER YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS THANK YOU WELCOME MATT CHAIR ALLEN, PLAIN LANGUAGE, THE OVERLAY, AND THAT CAME OUT IN THE PROCESS OF THESE HEARINGS.
SO THE SOUTH DAVIS CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE...
NOT KNOW BETWEEN THE OVERLAY BUT WITH ALL OF THE GOOD COMMUNICATION AND I WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR THE GREAT JOB THEY DID OF ITERATIVE I SUPPORT THE PROJECT GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY ONE THING THAT CAME OUT OF THIS WAS YOUR NOTIFICATION THE ONLY WAY WE FOUND DAVIS CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING WE GOT A VACATION AS DID ALL THE PROCESS HAS THE PRE-APPLICATION THAT COMES IN WHERE TAKE A FULL APP SUGGEST IN THE FUTURE THAT IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO HAVE NOTIFICATION GO OUT IN CASE IN ANY SITUATION IN THE FUTURE WHERE THE CLUB'S BACK ANY OTHER FULL POSSIBLE CONVERSION BASE THERE AND I THINK OF TRANSPARENCY TO DO THAT IN THE FUTURE IF SENDING OUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, CHAIR.
SEEING NONE, THEN WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
MOVED BY SUPERVISOR FERRICK, SECONDED BY VIXIE SANDY.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES.
THANK STAFF FOR THE WORK ON THIS.
ALSO, THE PUBLIC TRANSPARENT PROCESS THAT WE HAVE SET UP WORKS, AND IT HAS WORKED.
AND SO APPRECIATE ALL THE THERE WAS A LOT OF OUTREACH BY EL MACERO THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS TO INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS.
SO JUST AND THEN ALSO, AGAIN, GREAT STAFF WORK.
YEP, AND I WILL JUST DO A BRIEF COMMENT ALSO.
AND THEN THERE WERE, LIKE, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
[01:45:02]
IT WAS TALKED ABOUT THERE.SO I'VE BEEN OUT TO EL MACERO A NUMBER OF TIMES WHERE THIS TOPIC CAME UP, SO THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO BRING EVERYONE ALONG.
AND IMPORTANTLY, IN CASE ANYBODY'S A GOLFER, THEY REALLY ASSESS TO MAKE SURE IT'S STILL GOING TO BE AN AWESOME GOLFING EXPERIENCE.
SO THAT WAS ANOTHER PART THAT YOU TALK TO YOUR MEMBERS FROM THE COUNTRY CLUB.
OKAY, THEN ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OKAY, WE HAVE VILLEGAS IS ABSENT FOR THIS ONE.
AND SO THE MOTION WAS FOR ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE UP THERE FOR THE RECOMMENDED ACTION.
[22. Receive annual update from First 5 Yolo. (No general fund impact) (Daleiden) (Est. Staff Presentation: 20 min)]
ALL RIGHT, THEN LET'S MOVE TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS WE ARE NOW TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEM.WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE OUR ANNUAL UPDATE FROM FIRST FIVE.
WE SHOULD BE SEEING SOMEBODY ELSE WHO'S WEARING A BRIGHT COLORED OUTFIT.
WE'VE GOT TO GET A LITTLE ATTENTION THAT WAY, RIGHT? GOOD MORNING, CHAIR ALLEN.
TODAY TO PRESENT FIRST FIVE ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COUNTY AND THE UPDATE TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN SO THE SLIDES THAT I HAVE WILL TAKE US ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND I WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE HERE AT THE BEGINNING TO SET THE TABLE FOR OUR DISCUSSION AND THEN A MINUTE AT THE END FOR A VERY HAPPY INTRODUCTION SO AS YOU SEE IN THE STAFF REPORT FIRST FIVE YOLO STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATES THIS YEAR ARE PRIMARILY MINISTERIAL IN NATURE AND DO NOT CHANGE THE COMMISSION'S CORE PRIORITIES.
THE STRATEGIC PLAN CONTINUES TO REFLECT FIRST FIVE'S STATUTORY RESPONSIBILITY AND DECADES OF NEUROSCIENCE, DEMONSTRATING THE IMPORTANCE OF IMPROVING CHILD HEALTH, SAFETY, AND EARLY LEARNING.
RECOGNIZING THAT MANY OF YOUR BOARD DISCUSSIONS HAVE BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE FOCUSED ON SUSTAINING IMPORTANT COUNTY SERVICES IN A...
VERY CHALLENGING FISCAL ENVIRONMENT.
I'LL FOCUS IN ON FIRST 5 YOLO'S STRATEGIC PRIORITY TO SUSTAIN HIGH-IMPACT SERVICES FOR OUR COUNTY'S YOUNGEST CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES.
I'VE STRUCTURED OUR DISCUSSION TODAY IN THREE PARTS.
FIRST, A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITIES.
SECOND, A DEEPER LOOK AT A KEY EXAMPLE OF HOW FIRST 5 YOLO IS ADAPTING TO SUSTAIN HIGH IMPACT SERVICES FOR CHILDREN 0 TO 5.
AND FINALLY, A BROADER LOOK AT EMERGING SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES THAT MAY HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEMS AND FUNDING.
SO, FIRST FIVE YOLO STRATEGIC PLAN CONTINUES TO PRIORITIZE PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION INVESTMENTS IN KEY GOAL AREAS THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE.
THESE ARE FOR THE CRITICAL PRENATAL TO FIVE PERIOD WITH A STRONG EMPHASIS ON EQUITY, COORDINATED SYSTEMS OF CARE, AND TRULY TURNING THE CURVE ON IMPROVING LONG-TERM OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
SUSTAINING HIGH-IMPACT DATA-DRIVEN SYSTEMS AND SERVICES AMID GROWING FISCAL CONSTRAINTS ACROSS PUBLIC SYSTEMS REMAINS A CENTRAL FOCUS OF THAT WORK AND AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT ONE.
TO ILLUSTRATE THAT SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS, LET'S LOOK AT TWO OF FIRST 5 YOLO'S HIGHEST-IMPACT EARLY CHILDHOOD INITIATIVES.
AS THE BOARD WILL RECALL, WELCOME BABY ROAD TO RESILIENCE.
WELCOME BABY ROAD TO RESILIENCE AND HELP ME GROW ARE BOTH DESIGNED TO REACH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES EARLY BEFORE CHALLENGES BECOME CRISES, AND TOGETHER THEY REFLECT MANY OF THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES THAT I JUST MENTIONED.
WHILE THEY SERVE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS, BOTH OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE BUILT AROUND PREVENTION, EARLY INTERVENTION, COORDINATED CARE, AND MEASURABLY IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
NOW DRAW MEDI-CAL DOLLARS TO HELP OFFSET THE COSTS.
FIRST FIVE YOLO HAS INTEGRATED MEDI-CAL AND MANAGED CARE STRATEGIES INTO THESE SYSTEMS AS ONE APPROACH TO HELPING SUSTAIN EFFECTIVE PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OVER TIME.
AND THIS IS THE EXAMPLE OF SUSTAINABILITY WORK THAT I'M HIGHLIGHTING TODAY.
SO OUR MEDI-CAL WORK DID NOT BEGIN WITH FUNDING.
IT BEGAN WITH THE RECOGNITION THAT THE FUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE SERVING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WAS RAPIDLY CHANGING AND CREATED AN IMPERATIVE FOR US TO ALIGN.
RATHER THAN WAITING FOR THOSE CHANGES TO FULLY ARRIVE, THE AGENCY ENGAGED EARLY TO HELP SHAPE IMPLEMENTATION IN WAYS THAT WOULD BENEFIT YOUNG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN YOLO COUNTY.
BUILDING ON WELCOME BABY AND HELP ME GROW AS A PATIENT, THERE'S FIVE YOLO RECORDS.
PARTICULARLY AROUND CALAIM AND MANAGED CARE.
THIS INCLUDED CO-DEVELOPING WITH FIRST 5 SONOMA, A GRANT-FUNDED PARTNERSHIP HEALTH SUPER REGION ACROSS 21 COUNTY
[01:50:03]
COMMISSIONS, ENGAGING WITH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES, MANAGED CARE LEADERSHIP, AND STATEWIDE FIRST 5 PARTNERS TO HELP SHAPE IMPLEMENTATION AND ADVANCING COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER AND CALAIM ENHANCED CARE MANAGEMENT PATHWAYS FOR CHILDREN 0 TO 5.THOSE EFFORTS HELPED ESTABLISH PRACTICAL MODELS FOR STATEWIDE IMPLEMENTATION, BUILD PARTNERSHIPS, AND POSITION FIRST 5 YOLO AS A TRUSTED PARTNER IN THE EVOLVING MEDI-CAL LANDSCAPE.
NOTABLY, THIS WAS NOT ONLY ABOUT PURSUING A NEW FUNDING SOURCE.
IT WAS ALSO ABOUT ENSURING THAT EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEMS HAD A PLACE WITHIN EVOLVING HEALTH AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH LANDSCAPE AT THE STATE AND ENSURING THAT YOLO COUNTY WAS POSITION TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE CHANGES RATHER THAN REACT TO THEM LATER.
BY RECOGNIZING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AND ENGAGING IN IMPLEMENTATION AND SYSTEM DESIGN AND HELPING SHAPE PRACTICAL APPROACHES TO INTEGRATION, FIRST 5 YOLO HELPED POSITION YOLO FAMILIES AHEAD OF THE CURVE AS THESE MEDI-CAL SYSTEMS CONTINUED TO EVOLVE.
SO THIS WORK FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED HOW FIRST 5 YOLO OPERATES.
AS AN EARLY CHILDHOOD PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION AGENCY.
FIRST 5 YOLO HAS DEVELOPED THE PARTNERSHIPS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND OPERATIONAL CAPACITY THAT'S NEEDED TO FUNCTION WITHIN EMERGING MEDI-CAL AND MANAGED CARE SYSTEMS. FIRST 5 YOLO NOW SERVES AS MEDI-CAL DELIVERY AND BILLING PROVIDER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER SERVICES, ACTS AS SUPERVISING PROVIDER AND LEAD AGENCY THROUGH MANAGED CARE CONTRACTS, COORDINATES WITH HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL SYSTEMS, AND SUPPORTS CHRIS.
CROSS-SYSTEM DATA SHARING AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS.
THESE CHANGES HAVE EXPANDED OUR AGENCY'S ROLE FROM PRIMARILY FUNDING AND COORDINATING SYSTEMS TO HELP DELIVER, INTEGRATE, AND SUSTAIN THEM.
THIS CREATES MORE DURABLE FUNDING AND SUSTAINABILITY PATHWAYS FOR FIRST FIVE EFFORTS OVER TIME, PARTICULARLY AS PROPOSITION 10 CONTINUES TO DECLINE.
IT'S WORTH HIGHLIGHTING THAT AT THE SAME TIME, THE COMMISSION'S MISSION HAS REMAINED UNCHANGED, ENSURING FAMILIES HAVE COORDINATED PREVENTION-FOCUSED SUPPORT WITH STRONG ATTENTION TO ACCESS, NAVIGATION, AND PARENT VOICE.
SO MEDI-CAL INTEGRATION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE PREVENTION EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES ARE OFTEN AMONG THE MOST EFFECTIVE INVESTMENTS PUBLIC SYSTEMS CAN MAKE, AND YET THEY ARE FREQUENTLY THE MOST VULNERABLE TO FUNDING INSTABILITY.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, RIGHT? SO WE'VE ALSO TALKED MANY TIMES ABOUT THE ACCELERATED DECLINE OF PROP 10, FIRST 5'S DIRECT FUNDING.
AND THE STRIKING REALITY THAT MORE THAN 75% OF THE FUNDING SUPPORTING FIRST 5 YOLO'S WORK NOW COMES FROM EXTERNAL FUNDING STREAMS, PRIMARILY GRANT-BASED PUBLIC FUNDING.
BY INTEGRATING WITH MEDI-CAL AND MANAGED CARE SYSTEMS, FIRST 5 YOLO IS HELPING CREATE MORE SUSTAINABILITY PATHWAYS TO SUPPORT 0-5 SERVICES IN OUR COUNTY OVER TIME.
THIS WORK ALSO STRENGTHENS COORDINATION ACROSS HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, AND FAMILY SERVING SYSTEMS, HELPING FAMILIES TO NAVIGATE SERVICES MORE EASILY AND TO RECEIVE SUPPORT SOONER.
EARLIER IDENTIFICATION AND INTERVENTION MEANS MORE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ARE LIKELY TO RECEIVE THE RIGHT SUPPORT AT THE RIGHT TIME.
ULTIMATELY, FOR THE COMMISSION, THIS IS ABOUT BOTH BETTER OUTCOMES AND SOUND STEWARDSHIP OF PUBLIC RESOURCES.
SO FROM A STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE, MEDI-CAL PARTICIPATION INCREASINGLY SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT PLATFORM FOR BROADER SYSTEMS PARTNERSHIPS AND FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL AS COORDINATED SYSTEMS DELIVERY.
AGENCIES THAT CAN DEMONSTRATE STRONG CARE COORDINATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, DATA SHARING, AND EFFECTIVE USE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES ARE OFTEN BETTER POSITIONED FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARISE.
IN THIS SENSE, THIS DIRECTION IS HELPING POSITION YOLO COUNTY'S EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEM, NOT ONLY WITHIN TODAY'S CARE COORDINATION AND FUNDING FRAMEWORK, BUT WITHIN THE EMERGING SYSTEMS THAT WILL LIKELY INFLUENCE HOW PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES ARE SUSTAINED IN THE FUTURE.
INCREASINGLY, FUNDERS EXPECT ORGANIZATIONS TO LEVERAGE AVAILABLE FEDERAL AND STATE RESOURCES, COORDINATE ACROSS SYSTEMS, AND MAKE STRATEGIC USE OF PUBLIC DOLLARS.
AND WE'VE HEARD THAT FROM THE COUNTY AS WELL.
SO THIS WORK WILL POSITION FIRST 5 TO MEET THOSE EXPECTATIONS WHILE SUSTAINING EFFECTIVE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
NOW, AS THE FUNDING LANDSCAPE CONTINUES TO CHANGE AND CHALLENGES MOUNT,
[01:55:02]
THAT RAISES AN IMPORTANT QUESTION AROUND OTHER STRATEGIES THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO SUSTAIN HIGH-IMPACT 0-5 SYSTEMS IN THE FUTURE.WITH THAT QUESTION IN MIND, IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME TO BRIEFLY TOUCH ON WHAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER AS YOU THINK ABOUT THE NEXT PHASE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEMS FUNDING IN YOLO COUNTY.
SUSTAINING TRULY HIGH-IMPACT PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION SERVICES WILL INCREASINGLY REQUIRE NEW OPERATIONAL MODELS, INNOVATIVE FUNDING PARTNERSHIPS, AND NEW APPROACHES TO HOW UPSTREAM SERVICES ARE FINANCED OVER TIME.
AS TRADITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES BECOME MORE CONSTRAINED AND LESS PREDICTABLE, PUBLIC SYSTEMS WILL INCREASINGLY NEED TO EXPLORE AND BLEND EMERGING APPROACHES, INCLUDING SCALING THE TYPE OF MEDI-CAL INTEGRATION WE JUST DISCUSSED, BUT ALSO MORE DEEPLY EXPLORING PHILANTHROPIC AND SOCIAL IMPACT APPROACHES AND CONSIDERING FUTURE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.
WE'RE ALREADY SEEING COMMUNITIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND INCREASINGLY ACROSS THE COUNTY EXAMINE A RANGE OF APPROACHES TO SUSTAINING INVESTMENTS IN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, FROM EXPANDED PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO VOTER-SUPPORTED FUNDING MODELS.
WHILE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WILL LOOK DIFFERENT IN EACH COMMUNITY, OF COURSE, THEY UNDERSCORE THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF LOOKING BEYOND TRADITIONAL FUNDING TO ENSURE THAT EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES REMAIN STRONG AND SUSTAINABLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
SO THE FUNDING LANDSCAPE WILL CHANGE.
BUT THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF INVESTING EARLY IN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WILL REMAIN BOTH SOUND PUBLIC POLICY AND SOUND FISCAL POLICY.
THE EARLIER WE INVEST IN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, THE STRONGER AND MORE RESILIENT OUR COMMUNITY BECOMES.
SO I'M GOING TO STOP HERE FOR JUST A MOMENT BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT PORTION TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON WHAT I HAVE JUST LAID OUT BEFORE YOU OR IF YOU ALL.
AGREE 100% AND WE'LL ALL PURSUE THIS INTO THE FUTURE.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS? I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY.
IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, CHAIR, I DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS.
OKAY, I THINK THAT WE WILL HAVE SOME COMMENTS, THOUGH.
SO WHY DON'T WE DO THE COMMENTS AND THEN WE'LL WRAP IT UP WITH THE LAST FIVE.
ON THIS REPORT UM NO OKAY WELL YEAH GO AHEAD I MEAN I WAS GONNA OTHER PEOPLE HAVE I WELL I LOOKED NOBODY RAISED I I TAKE IT AS A HUNDRED PERCENT AGREEMENT I YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT ONE BUT NOT AT ALL CAREFUL IN SAYING THAT THIS IS A THIS IS A GREAT REPORT AND AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP GINA IN FIRST FIVE IN YELLOW COUNTY YOU'VE REALLY MADE A MARK AND YOU HAVE SURFACE THE ISSUES THAT WE ALL NEED TO ATTEND TO.
OUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON HOW WE TAKE CARE OF OUR YOUNGEST AND MOST VULNERABLE HUMANS.
AND I, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE EVERY EFFORT THAT YOU PUT INTO THIS AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS AS BEST WE CAN.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE ORDER OF THINGS.
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, JEAN.
I KNOW THIS IS YOUR LAST PART OUT AND I WANTED TO TO JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
I THINK YOU CAME IN AT A TIME WHERE BOTH THE TOP 10 FUNDS WERE, WE WERE SEEING THE CHALLENGES OF FUNDING TIMING.
I WANTED TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO THE WELCOME BABY HELPED ME GROW.
I THINK THAT WAS A PERFECT SEGUE INTO TRYING TO CAPITALIZE USING REFUNDS IN THE BEST WAY.
WAY POSSIBLE, PARTICULARLY HELPING OTHERS, COMPLICATED SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY YOUNG MOTHERS DELIVERING CHILDREN, WHEREAS IN YOLO COUNTY HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN FOR YOUNG, AND THESE TWO PROGRAMS I KNOW PERSONALLY HAD WORKED VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HAPPEN.
BUT ANECDOTALLY AS WELL, POWERFUL AT HIS BOMBS WHO ARE AT A LOSS AS TO KIND OF WHO TO TURN TO KNOWING THAT THERE'S FOLKS OUT THERE HELPING THEM KIND OF STEP THROUGH THOSE EARLY STAGES THAT CAN BE VERY TRAUMATIC AND CHALLENGING ON SO MANY LEVELS AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE THAT'S THE PURPOSEFUL WORK THAT WE TRY TO DO AND YOUR LEADERSHIP AT FIRST FIVE HELPED MAKE IT HAPPEN THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING THE PROGRAM SO
[02:00:01]
WELL.THANK YOU YEAH, AND JUST IN CASE PEOPLE THINK IT'S THE LAST TIME WE'RE SEEING GINA, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE HER COME BACK AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
BUT WE CAN ALWAYS GIVE HER KUDOS MORE THAN ONCE.
ALL I DON'T KNOW IS THAT THIS IS MY THIRD LAST ANNUAL REPORT TO THE BOARD, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME.
IT'S A JOKE AT OUR HOUSE, AND NOW IT'S FINALLY THE LAST ONE.
THE REST OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE STATED, GINA, I THINK YOUR LEADERSHIP.
YOU KNOW HOW TO ARTICULATE THE MESSAGE VERY WELL TO YOUR BOARD AND TO THE OTHER COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND ORGANIZATIONS.
PEOPLE GET, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, PEOPLE GET MOTIVATED AS TO KIND OF DIVISION.
FIRST FIVE YOLO, AND THEY SEE THE LONG-TERM IMPACT, AND SO THEY HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE.
AS MUCH AS THEY CAN IN TERMS OF ACCOUNTABILITY INTO SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT THEY RECEIVE FUNDING FOR.
AND SO THEY APPRECIATE KIND OF YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THAT REGARD.
I MEAN, YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS AND OPERATES AND MANEUVERS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, IN FRONT OF US TODAY IS JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF...
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE BEHIND IN TERMS OF YOUR LEGACY, YOU AND YOUR BOARD, WORK WITH YOUR STAFF AS WELL.
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS REPORT AND JUST REALLY LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS HOW TO LOOK AT YOUR REVENUE STREAM AND YOUR FUTURE OPERATIONS AND BEING ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT FIRST 5 IS SUSTAINABLE.
SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING AND YOUR STAFF AND YOUR BOARD.
YEAH, THANKS, SUPERVISOR BRAJAS AND MY OTHER COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR COMMENTS SO FAR.
I THINK IT IS AN HONOR TO SERVE AS CHAIR OF FIRST 5 YOLO AND HAVE SERVED NOW FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ON THE BOARD BEFORE BEING THE CHAIR THIS LAST YEAR.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT IS A SMALL BUT MIGHTY ORGANIZATION, BUT I THINK THAT'S A FITTING NOTE BECAUSE IT'S SMALL BUT MIGHTY.
YOU KNOW, THE POPULATION THAT WE SERVE IS THE SMALL BUT MIGHTY OF YOLO COUNTY.
SO I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
I ALSO REALLY WANT TO JUST SAY SUPER APPRECIATE NOT ONLY YOUR LEADERSHIP FOR THE LAST DECADE AS THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER, BUT ALSO THE COLLABORATION, I MEAN, THAT EXISTS.
THAT'S HOW I FIRST BEGAN TO WORK WITH FIRST FIVE.
I WAS IN THE CITY COUNCIL, AND THE CITY OF DAVIS DEDICATED SOME OF ITS CANNABIS REVENUES TO PREVENTION.
OUR LIST AND MOST NEEDY INDIVIDUALS HERE IN YOLO COUNTY.
REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE COLLABORATION, NOT ONLY WITH CBOS, CERTAINLY, BUT ALSO PARTNERS ACROSS YOLO AND THE REGION, AND THEN ALSO, OF COURSE, THE CBOS, MANY OF WHOM ARE STRONG PARTNERS WITH FIRST 5.
ALSO, I THINK I APPRECIATE SUPERVISOR VEGAS RAISING THE ISSUE OF...
WELCOME BABY AND HELP ME GROW IN PARTICULAR.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, THAT HAS NOW BEEN SHOWN, I MEAN, OF THAT, THOSE PROGRAMS HAS BEEN SHOWN THROUGH A REAL FANTASTIC COLLABORATION WITH UC DAVIS AND STUDIED ACADEMICALLY AND THEN PROMOTED AROUND THE STATE.
IN THE STATE, OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE STATE HAVE RECOGNIZED THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAMS AS WELL.
SO JUST REALLY WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO YOU IN YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE STAFF TEAM.
AND THEN WE WILL, YOU KNOW, THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST OFFICIAL ANNUAL UPDATE TO US, BUT WE WILL BE RECOGNIZING GINA.
STAY TUNED ON THAT ONE FOR NEXT CHAPTER.
BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS AND JUST THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT WORK.
THANK YOU FOR THE PARTNERSHIP, LUCAS, AND CARRY IT ON.
AND BECAUSE I'M CHAIR, I GET TO HAVE THE LAST WORD.
THIS IS NOT THE LAST WORD FOR THE THANKS TO GINA, BUT I JUST WANT TO ACTUALLY SPEAK TO YOUR REPORT.
IMPRESSIVE IN A TIME WHEN IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO TRY TO SEE THE WAY FORWARD.
IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU WERE SEEING WHERE WE WERE HEADING BEFORE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, MAYBE EVEN US.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND UNDERSTANDING WHERE THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES AND JUMPING RIGHT IN.
WORK THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SO WELL.
I DON'T THINK YOU WERE HERE AT THE VERY BEGINNING, BUT WE DID STEVE JENSEN, WHO'S DONE TOBACCO PREVENTION.
FROM HIS RESOLUTION, WE SAW THAT HE WAS A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PREVENTION PERSON, AND WE KNEW WHEN WE STARTED FIRST 5, BECAUSE I WAS ON IT
[02:05:01]
FOR THE FIRST 10 YEARS, THAT WE WERE HOPING THAT...THERE WOULD BE FEWER PEOPLE SMOKING.
THAT PROP 10 WAS A GREAT IDEA TO SIMULTANEOUSLY SHINE A LIGHT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DEVELOPMENT AND THE NEUROSCIENCE BEHIND ZERO TO FIVE, BUT LET'S TAX SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO TRY TO DECREASE ANYHOW.
SO WE WERE SUCCESSFUL THERE, WHICH REQUIRED THEN THESE DIFFERENT WAYS OF TRYING TO, NOW THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM, NOW WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUND IT.
THAT'S MEANINGFUL TO ME FROM YOU.
SO, OF COURSE, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT AND YOUR DAILY WORK ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN 0 TO 5 AND THEIR FAMILIES.
AND THEN, AS ALWAYS, I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WHILE I'M THE ONE BEFORE YOU TODAY, THE WORK OF FIRST 5 YOLO IS ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY OUR STELLAR STAFF TEAM.
MANY DEDICATED COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND THE BOLD LEADERSHIP OF THE FIRST 5 YOLO COMMISSION, SO YOU DON'T DO NEW THINGS WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF YOUR BOARD.
AND SO, AS THE AGENCY MOVES THROUGH A LEADERSHIP TRANSITION IN MID-JULY, SEE THE SMILE ON MY FACE, WHEN I RETIRE FROM COUNTY SERVICE, I AM CONFIDENT THAT THE COMMISSION, THE INCOMING CEO, AND FIRST 5 YOLO'S TALENTED STAFF TEAM YOU ARE WELL POSITIONED TO CONTINUE THIS IMPORTANT WORK WITH ALL OF YOU.
AND NOW I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE INCOMING CEO, WHO IS VICTORIA ZIMMERLE, AND SHE'S HERE TODAY WITH ME, AND I WOULD LIKE HER TO COME UP HERE.
SO VICTORIA IS FIRST 5 YOLO'S CURRENT DEPUTY DIRECTOR, AND SHE KNOWS MANY, MANY OF OUR PARTNERS AROUND THE COUNTY.
I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING WITH VICTORIA FOR, I DON'T KNOW, ALMOST NINE YEARS OR SO.
AND I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A SMOOTH TRANSITION, AND I JUST WANT YOU TO DO EVERYTHING THAT SHE TELLS YOU, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
GOOD MORNING, CHAIR ELLENSLEY.
WITH EACH OF YOU, WITH OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND OTHER LEADERS AND OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS, CONTINUE TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR YOUNGEST RESIDENTS THAT THEY NEED, THAT THEY DESERVE, AND PARTICULARLY IN A TIME...
I APPRECIATE YOUR FUTURE PARTNERSHIP AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ON THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE REALLY TOGETHER FOR THE AGE WHERE I'VE BEEN DOING CERTAIN THINGS.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
AND BECAUSE FIRST 5 IS QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL, COUNTY-CONNECTED.
I KNOW IT'S ALWAYS FUNNY HOW IT IS.
ANYHOW, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A YOLO COUNTY TRACTOR PIN BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME AT THE MIC.
IT'S A VERY, IT'S A COVETED YOLO COUNTY TRACTOR PIN.
WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY APPOINTMENT PROCESS, INCLUDING APPROVING SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS AND SCREENING CRITERIA.
OH, THAT'S NOT THE NEXT ONE? OH, SO SORRY.
[23. Receive annual update from YoloArts and Yolo County Historical Collection. (No general fund impact) (Alison Darby and Sarah Bartlett) (Est. Presentation Time: 20 min)]
I'M READY TO GO.YOLO ARTS AND YOLO, EVERYONE'S PANICKING IN THE BACK.
I'M LIKE, WHAT'S GOING ON? OH, I AM SO PLEASED TO SAY THAT THE NEXT ITEM HAS ACTUALLY RECEIVED ANNUAL UPDATE FROM YOLO ARTS AND YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION.
THE CHAIR CAN ALWAYS KNOW WHEN THERE'S PANIC IN THE ROOM.
I'M LIKE, WHAT AM I DOING? GOOD MORNING.
CHAIR ALLEN MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ALLISON DARBY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF YELLOW ARTS I'M HERE TODAY WITH MY COLLEAGUE SARAH BARTLETT COUNTY CURATOR OF THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION TOGETHER WE WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE ART AND HISTORICAL ACTIVITIES AT THE GIBSON HOUSE AND SURROUNDING PARK MY PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION WILL START WITH A BRIEF CONTEXT OF WHO YOLO ARTS IS BEFORE OUTLINING NEW AND CONTINUING DEVELOPMENTS IN EDUCATION, PUBLIC PROGRAMMING, AND EXHIBITIONS
[02:10:04]
OVER THE LAST YEAR.YOLO ARTS IS AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ARTS COUNCIL FOR YOLO COUNTY AND IS DEDICATED TO SUSTAINING, STRENGTHENING, AND ADVANCING ITS CREATIVE COMMUNITY.
DESIGNATED BY THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AS ITS OFFICIAL LOCAL ARTS AGENCY, YOLO ARTS IS YOUR COMMUNITY'S LEADER AND DIRECT PROVIDER FOR THE ARTS AND ARTS EDUCATION.
OUR ORGANIZATION'S VALUES ARE DISCOVERY, ENGAGEMENT, INTEGRITY.
AND INNOVATION AND THOSE ARE CENTRAL TO OUR WORK IN THE COMMUNITY.
THE WORK OF YELLOW ARTS IS MADE POSSIBLE BY A DEDICATED DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS, SUPPORTERS AND STAFF.
YELLOW ARTS IS GOVERNED BY A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHO PROVIDE STRATEGIC AND FIDUCIARY OVERSIGHT AND AS A SMALL STAFF WE RELY ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, VOLUNTEERS AND INTERNS.
OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEES IN PARTICULAR ARE KEY TO DECENTRALIZING DECISION-MAKING AND BRINGING MORE VOICES TO THE TABLE AS WE DEVELOP, EXECUTE, AND EVALUATE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
SO LISTED HERE IS AN OVERVIEW OF YOLO ARTS PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
THOSE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE GIBSON HOUSE AND SURROUNDING PARK ARE SHOWN IN FUCHSIA.
ALL OFFERINGS, WHETHER ON-SITE OR OFF, ARE CONNECTED TO OUR MISSION OF SUSTAINING, STRENGTHENING, AND ADVANCING THE CREATIVE COMMUNITY IN YOLO COUNTY.
PROJECTS LIKE THE ART AND AG PROJECT, COMMUNITY THROUGH ART, ART AND HISTORY FIELD TRIPS, EXHIBITIONS, AND PUBLIC ART MANAGEMENT ARE ALL SUPPORTED IN PART BY COUNTY FUNDING CURRENTLY.
SO TURNING OUR FOCUS TO THE PROGRAMMINGS LISTED IN THE PINK, I WILL EXPAND FURTHER ON THOSE OFFERINGS.
WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSING THIS LAST YEAR ON REALLY STRENGTHENING OUR COLLABORATION WITH THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION, THEIR EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMMING, AND THEN INCREASING DIVERSE USE OF THE SITE.
SO STARTING WITH OUR EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMMING, WE HAVE OUR ART AND HISTORY FIELD TRIPS, WHICH ARE OFFERED.
EACH FALL AND SPRING TO K THROUGH 12TH GRADE.
EACH TRIP INCLUDES A TOUR OF THE GIBSON HOUSE, THE BARN GALLERY, AND THEN IS FOLLOWED UP BY AN ART-MAKING WORKSHOP IN THE BARN STUDIO TAUGHT BY OUR TRAINED EDUCATORS.
ADDITIONAL LEARNING MATERIALS ARE SENT HOME WITH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS, AND WE CONTINUE TO OFFER SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES ALSO ON OUR WEBSITE, WHICH INCLUDES A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE GIBSON HOUSE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
THE SPRING, WE WELCOME 16 CLASSES FROM EIGHT SCHOOLS, RANGING FROM FIRST THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE, SCHOOLS COMING FROM WOODLAND, WINTERS, AND DAVIS.
AND WITH SUPPORT FROM SUPERVISOR MARY VIXIE SANDY'S COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND AND YOLO FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS TO 75% OF THOSE CLASSROOMS. CUSTOM TOURS AND GENERAL PUBLIC TOURS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR LARGER COMMUNITY GROUPS.
AND UNIVERSITY-LEVEL STUDENTS.
SO CONTINUING WITH OUR EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMMING, THE BARNES STUDIO IS A SPACE THAT CONTINUES TO BE A HUB FOR CREATIVE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS.
SO STARTING WITH OUR FREE OPEN STUDIO PROGRAM, WHICH ENGAGES THE NEXT GENERATION IN A SUPPORTIVE SPACE WHERE THEY CAN EXPLORE THEIR ARTISTIC SIDE, THIS PROGRAM IS OFFERED ONCE A WEEK.
FOR AGES ZERO TO FOUR WITH A CAREGIVER, AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE AN AFTER-SCHOOL ONE FOR FIRST THROUGH SIXTH GRADE, AND THAT SERVES ON AVERAGE ABOUT 25 YOUNG PEOPLE EACH WEEK.
NEW THIS YEAR, WE WILL BE DOING SUMMER DAYS, WHICH WILL BE JULY 18TH AND AUGUST 15TH, SO IT'S THE THIRD SATURDAY OF THOSE TWO MONTHS.
THERE WILL BE ART AND HISTORY EXPERIENCES THAT WILL BE DESIGNED FOR A MULTI-GENERATIONAL ENGAGEMENT.
AND INCLUDE EXHIBITION VIEWING, ARTIST TALKS, HANDS-ON ART MAKING, AND BLACKSMITH DEMONSTRATIONS.
LASTLY, KIND OF PART OF THE EDUCATION SECTION IS ARTISTS EXHIBITING IN THE BARN GALLERY ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTNER WITH YELLOW ARTS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC PROGRAMMING FOR THE COMMUNITY.
IN THE LAST YEAR, THAT'S PRIMARILY LOOKED AT ARTIST PANEL DISCUSSIONS, BUT IT CAN REALLY LOOK DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON THESE IN THE INTEREST OF THAT EXHIBITING ARTIST.
IT'S JUST TO CONNECT THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE COMMUNITY.
[02:15:04]
EXHIBITION.SO THERE ARE TWO KEY EXHIBITION AREAS ON SITE.
THIS INCLUDES THE BARN GALLERY AND THE GIBSON HOUSE ITSELF.
THE BARN GALLERY HAS CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE REPRESENTATION OF EMERGING AND ESTABLISHED ARTISTS.
EXHIBITIONS ROTATE EACH QUARTER.
ALL EXHIBITION PROPOSALS ARE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY A COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
THAT COMMITTEE IS MADE UP OF INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS, NONPROFIT LEADERS, ACADEMICS, AND ART APPRECIATORS.
WE PRIORITIZE COLLABORATING WITH REGIONAL COMMUNITY AND ARTIST GROUPS TO WELCOME NEW VOICES AND AUDIENCES TO THE SPACE.
EXHIBITIONS SINCE SUMMER OF 2025 SAW OVER 650 VISITORS, FEATURED 110 ARTISTS, AND PARTNERED WITH FOUR DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS.
SO SOME OF THOSE EXHIBITIONS, ALL OF THOSE ARE LISTED THERE ON THE SLIDE.
SO THERE WAS THE FOOD AND JUSTICE STORIES, WHICH IS A PHOTO DOCUMENTARY OF YELLOW FOOD BANK AND THEIR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS.
AND THAT WAS PRESENTED BY STUDENTS FROM SAC STATE UNIVERSITY.
THEN WE HAD OUR ART FARM EXHIBITION, WHICH IS A VISUAL CELEBRATION OF THE FARMLANDS OF YOLO COUNTY AND THE CULMINATION OF YOLO ARTS ART AND AG PROJECT.
THERE WAS ALSO INSPIRED, WHICH WAS A COLLECTION OF WORK CREATED BY TEACHING ARTISTS WHO WORK IN YOLO ARTS PROGRAMS. THAT INCLUDES OUR WORK IN JUVENILE HALL, IN SPECIAL EDUCATION CLASSROOMS, AND OUR STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH YCOE.
AND THEN THERE WAS MOST RECENT, RESIDUE OF RITUALS, A TWO-PERSON SHOW FEATURING ARTWORK THAT COMMENTED ON THE ENDLESS DEPOSITS OF MATERIALS LEFT BEHIND BY OUR MATERIALISTIC ECONOMY.
AND THEN OPENING HERE VERY SOON IS CRYSTALLINE DISRUPTION, WHICH IS A LOOK AT CONTEMPORARY GLASS ARTWORK.
THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION ROTATES THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND CURATES ANNUAL SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS IN THE GIBSON HOUSE.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK OF MY COLLEAGUE SARAH BARTLETT AS HISTORIC EXHIBITIONS ARE INTEGRAL TO THE OVERALL VISION OF THE PARK.
EACH SUMMER WE FOCUS OUR EXHIBITIONS ON A CENTRAL THEME TO DRIVE INTEREST ACROSS TIME AND MEDIA.
THIS YEAR THE CENTRAL THEME IS GLASS.
SO ON JUNE 11TH, GLASS FROM THE PAST, WHICH SARAH WILL TALK ABOUT MORE, WILL OPEN IN THE GIBSON HOUSE.
CRYSTALLINE DISRUPTION WILL BE IN THE BARN GALLERY, WHICH YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO ATTEND.
COLLABORATING ON A THEME OPENS THE DOORS FOR CROSS-DISCIPLINE PROGRAMMING FOR THE PUBLIC TO ENJOY, LIKE THE SUMMER DAYS I MENTIONED EARLIER.
YOLO ARTS ALSO WORKS TO SUPPORT THE COUNTY CURATOR'S EFFORTS THROUGH INTEGRATING EXHIBITION CONTENT INTO THE ART AND HISTORY FIELD TRIPS.
AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS AS WELL AS PROVIDING ACCESS TO THESE EXHIBITIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND PUBLIC TOURS.
OUR EFFORT TO FACILITATE COMMUNITY USE OF THE GIBSON HOUSE HAS CONTINUED THROUGH THE OPENING OF THE SPACE FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS, PRIVATE SPECIAL EVENT RENTALS, AND CONTINUED WORK OF THE GIBSON GARDENERS.
THIS YEAR, THE BARNES STUDIO HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL RESOURCE.
FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL GROUPS TO MEET AND OFFER WORKSHOPS.
SOME OF THESE GROUPS ARE THE FLYING NEEDLES QUILTERS GUILD, WOODLAND CUMIN SALSA, AND INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS.
OUR NEWEST EFFORT TO USE THE SITE IS TO LAUNCH A REGIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCY COMING THIS YEAR, WHICH WILL INVITE ARTISTS AND CREATIVES TO FOCUS ON DEVELOPING THEIR INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE DURING AN EIGHT-WEEK PERIOD.
ARTISTS WILL WORK OUT OF THE BARNES STUDIO AND BE CONNECTED WITH RESOURCES AROUND THE PARK, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION AND INCLUSION IN YELLOW ARTS' COMMUNITY PROGRAMS. SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE BOARD AND THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF YELLOW ARTS' WORK IN THE COMMUNITY AND AT THE GIBSON HOUSE HISTORIC PARK.
NOW I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO SARAH TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE COLLECTION.
I HAVE BEEN THE MUSEUM CURATOR FOR YOLO COUNTY FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS.
I AM PRIMARILY IN THE COLLECTION AND GIBSON HOUSE EXHIBITIONS AND THE USE OF THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
SO I'M GOING TO START BY TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT.
THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION HAS MORE THAN 13,000 OBJECTS, AND YES, THAT NUMBER HAS INCREASED.
DURING OUR COMPLETE AND THOROUGH INVENTORY OF ALL THE OBJECTS ON THE PROPERTY, WE HAVE LOCATED AN ADDITIONAL 02,000 OBJECTS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL 11,000 OBJECT TOTAL.
THE FIRST PART OF OUR INVENTORY INCLUDES REVIEWING DONATION PAPERWORK AND MATCHING IT TO THE OBJECTS IN THE COLLECTION.
SO FAR, WE HAVE REVIEWED 567 ACCESSIONS AND HAVE MATCHED ALMOST 3,000 OBJECTS TO THEIR PAPERWORK.
[02:20:01]
THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE HAVE ALSO FOUND 504 ITEMS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED AS MISSING.THE SECOND PART OF OUR INVENTORY INCLUDES GOING THROUGH EVERY BOX THAT WE HAVE ON THE PROPERTY SO WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE.
WE HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN THIS PROCESS.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, WITH 13,000 OBJECTS, IT'S PRETTY SLOW GOING.
BUT I'M HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WE'VE COMPLETED ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF COLLECTION STORAGE.
THE ARCHIVES AND I HAVE ALSO CREATED AND IMPLEMENTED A FOUND-IN COLLECTIONS PROCEDURE WITH THE HELP OF COUNTY COUNCIL TO ENSURE THAT EVERY ITEM IN BOTH OUR COLLECTIONS HAS THE PROPER OWNERSHIP PAPERWORK.
WE'VE COMPLETED OUR FIRST BATCH AND HAVE NOW ACQUIRED THE PROPER DOCUMENTATION FOR MORE THAN 400 OBJECTS.
I'VE ALSO EXPANDED OUR STORAGE ON THE PROPERTY WITH THE ADDITION OF A TOUGH SHED, WHICH HOUSES MOST OF THE AGRICULTURAL COLLECTION.
THIS ENSURES THAT WE'RE PROPERLY STORING AND CARING FOR ALL OF OUR ITEMS IN THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION.
I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO DIGITIZATION.
WE ALSO CONTINUE TO WORK ON DIGITIZING THE COLLECTION TO CREATE GREATER ACCESS TO IT.
SO FAR, OVER 1,500 OBJECTS HAVE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED AND ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH OUR ONLINE COLLECTIONS DATABASE.
THE ARCHIVES AND I HAVE ALSO STARTED USING ARCGIS TO CREATE ONLINE CONTENT TO INCREASE ACCESS TO OUR COLLECTIONS AND RESOURCES.
THE FIRST ONLINE EXHIBITION FROM THE GIBSON HOUSE WILL BE THE ONLINE VERSION OF MY GIVE FACE EXHIBITION.
WHICH WAS DISPLAYED IN THE GIBSON HOUSE THIS LAST YEAR.
VIEWERS CAN STROLL THROUGH A VIRTUAL TOUR, CONNECT WITH THE OBJECTS AND ARCHIVAL MATERIALS USED IN THE EXHIBITION THROUGH LINKS TO OUR ONLINE DATABASES AND OTHER RESOURCES, AND VIEW VIDEOS OF ASSOCIATED EXHIBITION PROGRAMMING.
THIS ONLINE TOUR IS LIVE ON THE COUNTY'S ARCGIS PAGE, SO YOU CAN EXPLORE IT THERE.
AND THE ONLINE TOUR WAS CREATED BY YCHC INTERN IZZY MINDER AND MYSELF.
I ALSO WANT TO REMIND THE BOARD AND THE PUBLIC THAT THE YELLOW COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION IS A RESEARCH COLLECTION.
IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TO SET UP RESEARCH APPOINTMENTS TO VIEW ITEMS IN THE COLLECTION THAT ARE NOT ON DISPLAY.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXHIBITIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST TIME WE GAVE AN UPDATE.
SO FOR THIS SECTION, BOLD MEANS OFF-SITE, NON-BOLD IS ON-SITE AT THE GIBSON HOUSE.
SO LAST YEAR WE HAD THREE EXHIBITIONS IN THE GIBSON HOUSE.
VISITORS CAUGHT THE TAIL END OF GRIM TALES, STORIES OF LIFE AND DEATH, AN EXHIBITION THAT EXPLORED STORYTELLING AND ITS ROLE IN OUR LIVES.
IN MARCH, VISITORS GOT TO EXPLORE PICTURING YOLO COUNTY, WHICH FEATURED PORTRAITS FROM THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION, INCLUDING THE RECENTLY RESTORED PORTRAITS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST YEAR.
AND THEY ALSO GOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A LECTURE WITH ONE OF THE CONSERVATORS WHO HELPED US RESTORE THOSE PORTRAITS AND THEIR FRAMES.
FINALLY, VISITORS GOT TO EXPERIENCE GIVE FACE, WHICH WAS AN EXHIBITION ABOUT THE CHINESE COMMUNITY IN YOLO COUNTY, FEATURING A COLLABORATION WITH CALIFORNIA-BASED ARTIST B.
THIS EXHIBITION MARKED A SHIFT IN THE WAY THE GIBSON HOUSE DOES EXHIBITIONS.
INSTEAD OF DOING TWO TO THREE A YEAR WITH LIMITED PROGRAMMING, I SHIFTED TO DOING ONE A YEAR WITH MORE EXTENSIVE PROGRAMMING TO INCREASE ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE THEMES IN THE EXHIBITIONS.
GIVE FACE RAN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND BOUGHT MORE THAN...
BROUGHT MORE THAN 1,000 VISITORS TO THE GIBSON HOUSE.
MY NEXT GIBSON HOUSE EXHIBITION, GLASS FROM THE PAST, WILL OPEN ON JUNE 11TH.
I ALSO CONTINUE TO BRING THE COLLECTION INTO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH LIBRARY BRANCH EXHIBITS.
THE SUHU SHI LO EXHIBIT, CREATED BY MY INTERN IZZY MINDER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A UC DAVIS HISTORY CLASS LED BY DR. CECILIA SU, WAS IN FIVE LIBRARY BRANCHES, YOLO, KNIGHTS LANDING, CLARKSBURG, DAVIS, AND WEST SACRAMENTO.
THE BLOWER SISTERS ART EXHIBIT WAS IN CLARKSBURG AND WEST SACRAMENTO.
AND FINALLY, AN EXHIBIT ABOUT MUSIC IN YOLO COUNTY WAS FEATURED IN CLARKSBURG.
WE ALSO HAVE AN UPCOMING OFF-SITE EXHIBITION, WHICH IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN YOLO ARTS, THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION, AND THE YOLO COUNTY ARCHIVES, AND WILL APPEAR IN THE COUNTY ADMIN BUILDING IN THE SPRING OF 2027.
THROUGH THESE EXHIBITIONS, WE HAVE MADE MORE THAN 150 OBJECTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
MOVING ON TO SOME PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS.
TO BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THE PROPERTY, AS I SAID, WE SWITCHED TO FOCUSING MORE ON COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING.
IN THE LAST YEAR, WE HAD SEVEN DIFFERENT PROGRAMS ON THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING ONE HYBRID EVENT, WHICH BROUGHT VIRTUAL ATTENDEES FROM AS FAR AS D.C.
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, WE HAD SO MANY ATTENDEES AT THESE PRESENTATIONS THAT WE RAN OUT OF CHAIRS.
WE ALSO STARTED DOING THE VERY FIRST HISTORY FAIR ON THE PROPERTY.
IN MAY, THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION HAD THIS HISTORY FAIR TO RAISE FUNDS FOR EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMMING SO THAT I CAN INCREASE THE NUMBER OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO THE COLLECTION.
IT FEATURED BLACKSMITH DEMONSTRATIONS, VICTORIAN LAWN GAMES, A YOLO COMMUNITY BAND CONCERT, HISTORICAL ORGANIZATION PARTNERSHIPS, YOLO ARTS ART ACTIVITIES AND
[02:25:02]
EXHIBITIONS, ACCESS TO THE GIBSON HOUSE'S GIVE FACE EXHIBITION, AND A PROPERTY-WIDE...WE HAD MORE THAN 160 ATTENDEES AND RAISED ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER THE COST OF NEXT YEAR'S GIBSON HOUSE EXHIBITION.
THE FAIR HAD A SUGGESTED DONATION OF $5 TO ATTEND, BUT THOSE WHO COULD NOT DONATE WERE STILL WELCOME TO COME TO THE PROPERTY AND EXPERIENCE ALL IT HAD TO OFFER.
IT WAS A CELEBRATION OF ART, HISTORY, AND NATURE, AND ALL THE WAYS THAT THE GIBSON HOUSE PROPERTY CAN SERVE AS A SPACE FOR EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY BUILDING.
I HOPE TO CONTINUE THIS EVENT AND BRING EVEN MORE PEOPLE TO THE PROPERTY NEXT YEAR.
I'M GOING TO END WITH A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION.
DURING THE 2026 FISCAL YEAR, THE YOLO COUNTY HISTORICAL COLLECTION PARTICIPATED IN FIVE COLLABORATIVE EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAD 15 COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS, INCLUDING UC DAVIS PROFESSORS, THE LOCKE FOUNDATION, THE 1882 FOUNDATION, AND CALIFORNIA-BASED ARTISTS, TO NAME JUST A FEW.
I ALSO HOSTED FOUR SPECIAL TOURS OF THE PROPERTY WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS, INCLUDING A TOUR OF THE GIBSON HOUSE FOR A DELEGATION FROM DUSSELDORF.
AND A TOUR OF THE GIBSON HOUSE FOR ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH TRUE CONNECTIONS OUT OF DAVIS.
AS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN THE LAST YEAR, WE HAVE ONCE AGAIN INCREASED THE NUMBER OF VISITORS TO THE PROPERTY.
IN 2024, WE HAD 713 VISITORS, WHICH WAS ALREADY A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE FROM 2023'S 173.
AND THEN IN 2025, WE BEAT THAT WITH 886 VISITORS.
AND WE'RE ON TRACK TO HAVE EVEN MORE IN 2026.
AS OUR NUMBERS FOR THE 2026 FISCAL YEAR ARE ALREADY OVER 01,000.
I'VE ALSO SEEN AN INCREASE IN VOLUNTEER HOURS ON THE PROPERTY.
IN 2025, WE HAD 330 FOR THE YEAR, AND SO FAR IN 2026, WE HAVE 456.
I'VE CREATED A ROBUST AND COMPETITIVE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM THAT TEACHES YOUNG PROFESSIONALS ESSENTIAL HANDS-ON CURATION AND COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT SKILLS NOT ATTAINABLE IN A CLASSROOM SETTING.
THIS PROGRAM HAS MADE CONSERVATION, COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT, AND CURATION PROJECTS MOVE MUCH FASTER.
THE HISTORICAL COLLECTION IS IMMENSELY GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK DONE BY THESE VOLUNTEERS AND INTERNS, AND THE WORK OUTLINED IN THIS PRESENTATION WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THEM.
I'M GOING TO BRING ALLISON BACK UP FOR THE END OF THIS.
WELL, SO WE JUST WANTED TO MENTION A FEW UPCOMING EVENTS THAT WE HAD.
WE DID TALK ABOUT THEM PREVIOUSLY, BUT JUST AGAIN ON JUNE 11TH WILL BE THE OPENING RECEPTION OF BOTH EXHIBITIONS ON THE GIBSON HOUSE.
WILL BE FROM 5 30 TO 8 P.M SO ALL THINGS GLASS UM AND AND ON THE 16TH AS THE DATE FOR OCTOBER SO THERE IS ALL YOU CAN ALSO ALWAYS CONNECT WITH US THROUGH OUR WEBSITE ENCOURAGE YOU TO FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE GIBSON HOUSE AND FEEL PARTICULAR THAT IF YOU FEEL THAT THERE'S A PARTICULAR PROGRAM OR EXHIBITION THAT WOULD RESONATE WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE ALL THIS INFORMATION WITHIN YOUR OWN NETWORKS.
THE GIBSON HOUSE TO BE A HUB OF ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITY FOR THE WHOLE COUNTY.
I WAS JUST PUTTING EVENTS ON MY CALENDAR.
ARE THERE ANY BOARD QUESTIONS? IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? NO, CHAIR.
ANY OTHER BOARD COMMENTS? YES, MARY.
I LOVE THIS REPORT EVERY YEAR.
AMIDST ALL OF THE CHAOS THAT WE DEAL WITH ON THE DAILY, ART GIVES US SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REFLECTION, FOR EXPANSION.
OF OUR VIEWSCAPE, FOR CONNECTION WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE INSPIRED BY BEAUTY AND CHALLENGED BY ART.
AND THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU INNOVATE AS A TEAM OF LEADERS AND AS A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS, LEADING VOLUNTEERS, IS JUST INSPIRING.
IT'S INSPIRING TO WATCH HOW YOU KEEP THIS GOING AND YOU KEEP IT SO VIBRANT FOR US.
I'VE WRITTEN EVERYTHING DOWN ON MY CALENDAR.
I JUST WANT TO SAY I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND THE LEADERSHIP THAT YOU BRING IN THIS SPACE FOR US.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES, SUPERVISOR BRASS.
YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THE LEADERSHIP AND JUST THE PRESENTATION, JUST THE HARD WORK BEHIND THE SCENES.
AND I KNOW YOU WORK SO HARD JUST TO BE ABLE TO BRING TOGETHER DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND LOGISTICAL EFFORTS THAT YOU DO.
AND WHAT I SEE, BECAUSE I USED TO LIVE DOWN THE STREET, GREW UP DOWN THE STREET.
IT'S MORE INVITING, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.
[02:30:02]
IT'S REALLY MORE INVITING.THE CURRICULUM, THE EXHIBITS ARE MORE DIVERSE.
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THE TRUE HISTORY AND REPRESENTATION OF YOLO COUNTY.
AND I'M HEARING THAT FROM OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
I'VE LIVED IN WOODLAND FOR A VERY, VERY LONG TIME.
AND IT'S CLEAN, IT'S NEAT, VERY ORGANIZED.
IN REGARDS TO IN COMPARISON HOW IT WAS.
SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE AND JUST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
WELL, I JUST, AS SOMEBODY WHO USED TO BE ON THE BOARD FOR A TINY SCIENCE CENTER THAT HAD A BASEMENT FULL OF STUFF, AND I WAS LIKE, DO WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE? HOW CAN ANYONE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE? HOW CAN WE CREATE AN EXHIBIT IF WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE HAVE? KUDOS FOR NOT ONLY...
FOR DIGITIZING IT SO NOW IT'S MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC, BUT FINDING THINGS THAT WERE LOST AND ACTUALLY GETTING A LIST OF ALL THE ITEMS YOU HAVE.
I TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT A GIANT UNDERTAKING THAT IS.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING, I WAS JUST TEXTING MY, BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD A TOUR THAT WE WERE GOING TO DO AND THEN WE HAD TO RESCHEDULE AND I HAVE SOME SUMMER INTERNS.
OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS.
[24. Receive an update and provide feedback on the District Attorney appointment process, including approving supplemental questions and screening criteria to be used in the initial evaluation of candidates. (No general fund impact) (Webb/Bryan) (Est. Staff Presentation: 5 min)]
NOW.CHAIR ALLEN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, TO TALK AGAIN ABOUT THE...
SO IF YOU RECALL, ON THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO FULFILL THE REMAINING FULFILLED TERM, AND SO STAFF...
IMMEDIATELY WENT TO WORK ON THAT.
THE RECRUITMENT WAS OPENED THE VERY FOLLOWING DAY AND THE RECRUITMENT WAS RELEASED.
WHAT WE'RE HERE TODAY FOR IS YES? IF YOU COULD REPORT ON THE SCREEN SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION THAT'S THE ONLY ATTACHMENT JUST THE NO NO THE STAFF REPORT YEAH NOPE NO POWERPOINT PRESENTATION SO WE'RE HERE TODAY TO MOVE THAT PROCESS A LOSS FOR YOU TODAY ME TOO, I WILL GO READ THEM ONE OF THE WRITTEN ONES THAT WILL GO WITH WITH YOU GO TO EACH APPLICANT FOR THEM TO FILL OUT IN WRITING AS A PART OF PROCESS REVIEW, THREE REVIEW CRITERIA FOR THE STAFF REVIEW PANEL, AND THEN FINALLY A REQUEST FOR ACTUAL IN-PERSON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FROM EACH SUPERVISOR.
SO TO THE FIRST, THE WRITTEN QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE UP FIRST, AND I WILL SAY THAT THESE WERE DESIGNED TO BE MORE CRITERIA.
AND EXPERIENCE TO SEE OR THINGS THAT THE BOARD MAY QUESTION THE CANDIDATES ABOUT.
SO, FIRST QUESTION, SUMMARIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE PREPARING OR MANAGING PUBLIC SECTOR BUDGETS.
EXPLAIN HOW YOU WOULD PRIORITIZE LIMITED RESOURCES WHILE MAINTAINING EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS.
SECOND, EXPLAIN YOUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXPERIENCE, HOW YOUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXPERIENCE PREPARES YOU FOR LEADING A COUNTYWIDE PROSECUTORIAL OFFICE.
THREE, HOW WILL YOU MAINTAIN CONTINUITY WITHIN THE OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY DURING YOUR LEADERSHIP TRANSITION, FOCUSING IN PARTICULAR ON THE FIRST 90 DAYS OF TRANSITION? FOURTH, DESCRIBE YOUR EXECUTIVE-LEVEL LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE.
WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE SUPERVISING ATTORNEYS, INVESTIGATORS, AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL STAFF? AND FINALLY, DESCRIBE YOUR EXPERIENCE COLLABORATING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT, COUNTY DEPARTMENTS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND ASSOCIATIONS.
SO AGAIN, ALL DESIGNED TO ALLOW FROM THE CANDIDATES EXACTLY WHAT THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN.
SIMILARLY, THE REVIEW CRITERIA ALSO BEFORE THE BOARD FOR THE STAFF PANEL IS TO, WE WILL REVIEW OR STAFF WILL REVIEW RELEVANT CRIMINAL PRACTICE EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING THE DEPTH AND RECENCY OF TRIAL EXPERIENCE, RELEVANT EXPERIENCE MANAGING AND SUPERVISING ATTORNEYS AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL STAFF, AND THEN DEPARTMENT HEAD READINESS, INCLUDING EXPERIENCE PREPARING AND MANAGING BUDGETS,
[02:35:02]
HANDLING LABOR RELATIONS, MANAGING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES, AND HANDLING OTHER ASPECTS OF OFFICE OPERATIONS.WITH THOSE QUESTIONS, AS WELL AS RESUME, APPLICATIONS, PAPERWORK, STAFF PANEL WILL GO THROUGH AND IDENTIFY THE TOP CANDIDATES IN STAFF'S VIEW.
WE WILL PUT FORWARD APPROXIMATELY THOSE TOP THREE.
CANDIDATES, BUT OF COURSE, AS DISCUSSED PREVIOUSLY, ALL THE CANDIDATES WILL BE PRESENTED AS AN ATTACHMENT FOR THE BOARD SHOULD THE BOARD DESIRE TO PULL ANYBODY FROM THAT LIST.
FOR ADDITIONAL CANDIDATE REVIEW.
AND THEN FINALLY, OUR LAST REQUEST WILL BE IN PREPARATION FOR THE JUNE 23RD INTERVIEWS WILL BE FOR EACH SUPERVISOR TO IDENTIFY AND SEND TO STAFF TWO TO THREE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.
STAFF WILL THEN TAKE THOSE APPROXIMATE 15 QUESTIONS AND PULL TOGETHER A LIST OF ABOUT FIVE TO SEVEN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS FOR THAT MORNING.
HOWEVER, ALL OF THE NO QUESTION LEFT BEHIND, SO TO SPEAK.
SUPERVISORS WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTION THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE OFFICIAL LIST IN THE FOLLOW-UP SECTION OF EACH INTERVIEW.
SO WITH THAT, HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, EDITS.
ULTIMATELY, WE'LL LOOK FOR YOUR APPROVAL SO WE CAN CARRY THIS FORWARD AND GET THINGS SCHEDULED.
THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION.
ARE THERE BOARD QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE, IS THERE ANY GO AHEAD.
YEAH, MAYBE JUST A CLARIFYING QUESTION.
SO THE EXPECTATION IS THAT WE WILL SUBMIT OUR QUESTIONS TO YOU, THAT THERE'S A SET TO START WITH.
WE FELT THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO STEP INTO THE BOARD'S ROLE OF IDENTIFYING WHAT THEY WANTED TO ASK VERBALLY TO EACH OF THE CANDIDATES.
THAT WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
AND JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, THEN, THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE, ARE WE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IN SOME PUBLIC INTERVIEW THINGS, EVERY APPLICANT HAS TO BE ASKED THE EXACT SAME QUESTIONS.
ARE WE HELD TO THAT IN THIS PROCESS, OR COULD WE ASK? FOLLOW-UP OR ADDITIONAL DIFFERENT QUESTIONS FOR THE IN-PERSON TIME? THAT MIGHT BE A FAILED QUESTION.
MAYBE YOU CAN GET BACK TO US ON IT.
I THINK GENERALLY THE BOARD SHOULD STRIVE TO ASK THE APPLICANTS THE SAME QUESTIONS SO THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES.
I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S AN ABSOLUTE.
IF THERE'S A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION NECESSARY TO ELICIT SOMETHING FROM AN APPLICANT, THEN I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY THE BOARD SHOULDN'T ASK IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN, WE CONTEMPLATED MAYBE EVEN ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS BEING ASKED INDIVIDUALLY OF DIFFERENT APPLICANTS SO THAT MAYBE THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL CONTENT.
WE HAVEN'T DISCUSSED THAT AT LENGTH.
THAT'S NOT OUT OF BOUNDS NECESSARILY, BUT I THINK TO YOUR POINT THERE IS SOME VALUE IN STAYING WITHIN GENERALLY THE SAME SET OF QUESTIONS.
SO I THINK WE CAN WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU BOTH THINK ABOUT THAT? I KNOW THIS IS THE AWKWARDNESS OF FIGURING OUT HOW WE'RE DOING IT ON THE FLY.
NOW THAT I'M SEEING IT AND THINKING ABOUT IT, BUT I DID SIGN OFF ON THIS TOO.
MY TAKE HAS BEEN THAT THE BOARD DOES HAVE A FAIR BIT OF LEEWAY WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROCESS BASED UPON THE ONE ATTACHMENT IN TERMS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION.
I THINK PROVIDING A PROCESS AND KEEPING WITH WHAT THE BOARD WANTED IN TERMS OF WHAT TO DO, A PROCESS TO GO THROUGH AND DO RECRUITMENT, I THINK THAT DOES LEND ITSELF TO HAVING A SET OF QUESTIONS.
BUT THEN ALSO TO ONCE THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ASKED, THEN TO HAVE FOLLOW-UPS WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL.
YOU KNOW, I'LL ADD, JUST SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT THIS, DEPENDING ON IF YOU GET ONE, TWO, OR THREE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOU, THEY MAY HAVE VERY DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU FEEL AN ADDITIONAL QUESTION OF A PARTICULAR APPLICANT IS APPROPRIATE SO YOU CAN BETTER ASSESS THEIR EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS THAT YOU MAY NOT NEED TO ASK OR...
OR OTHERWISE FEEL THE NEED TO ASK OF A DIFFERENT APPLICANT.
SO I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY LEGALLY LATITUDE.
IT'S A MATTER OF REALLY FIDELITY TO THE PROCESS.
YEAH, AND I'LL ADD, I COMPLETELY AGREE.
I THINK THE BOARD HAS BROAD DISCRETION HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE LEVEL OF APPOINTMENT THAT THIS IS.
SO I CONCUR WITH MY COLLEAGUES ON PROCESS.
AND THERE WOULD BE SOME CONSISTENCY WITH THE 2016 PROCESS WHERE THE ASSESSOR CLERK ELECTIONS RECORDER APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AT THAT TIME WHERE THERE WAS DURING THAT INTERVIEW PROCESS IN OPEN SESSION THERE WAS A SET OF SORT OF BASELINE QUESTIONS THAT EACH OF THE THE APPLICANTS WAS ASKED BUT THE BOARD DID HAVE
[02:40:02]
FOLLOW-UP MORE INDIVIDUALIZED FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS TO EACH OF THE APPLICANTS WHICH DIFFERED FROM APPLICANT TO APPLICANT SO I THINK THERE'S SOME PRECEDENT FOR THAT TO ALBEIT A WHILE AGO AND THEN I'M THANK YOU IN YOUR PRESENTATION FOR DOING THE FOLLOW-UP ABOUT OUR THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT PULLED UP TO THE TWO OR THREE BECAUSE THAT WAS IN MY FOLLOW-UP QUESTION SO JUST SO THAT IT'S CLEAR AND THEN HAVE WE IMAGINED HOW THAT WOULD WORK IF THERE WAS AN INTEREST IN SOMEBODY WHO WASN'T ON THE LIST WOULD THEY DO IT AHEAD OF TIME PERSON OR PERSONS WOULD KNOW TO BE HERE? I'LL ANSWER IN BRIEF AND THEN BUT I'LL LOOK TO PHIL TO COUNTY COUNCIL TO CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.I BELIEVE IF ON THAT MORNING IF THE BOARD DESIRES TO PULL SOMEBODY FROM THE LIST WHO DIDN'T MAKE THE SHORTER LIST, THE BOARD COULD ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.
I THINK THEN WE WOULD CONTINUE THE MEETING TO A FOLLOWING DAY.
I BRIEFLY DISCUSSED THIS AT THE LAST MEETING WHERE THE BOARD MEETING COULD BE BRIEFLY HELD.
I THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, IN SAYING THAT, I RECOGNIZE THAT WOULD BE AN AWKWARD WAY TO PROCEED, BUT I THINK IT'S THE BEST WE CAN PROBABLY DO, GIVEN THE FACT THAT ALL DELIBERATIONS AROUND THIS HAVE TO BE PUBLIC.
YES, MIKE, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD, FROM A PROCESS STANDPOINT, I THINK THERE COULD ALSO BE EARLY INDICATORS.
IF THERE'S A BOARD MEMBER WHO IDENTIFIES WHEN THE STAFF REPORT COMES OUT, HEY, THERE'S SOMEONE ON THE LIST THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED.
THERE CAN BE AN EARLY INDICATION TO STAFF THAT THERE'S THAT INTEREST AND WE COULD PREPARE ACCORDINGLY.
OFFICIALLY, THE BOARD, HOWEVER, OF COURSE, WOULD NEED TO TAKE AN ACTION TO INCORPORATE THAT PERSON INTO THE INTERVIEW PROCESS OFFICIALLY.
JUST TO CHECK WITH MY BOARD COLLEAGUES, WOULD IT BE IF ONE PERSON WANTS TO PULL THEM UP THAT THAT'S ENOUGH? OR WOULD WE WANT TO HAVE A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD PULL THEM UP? HOW DO WE WANT TO DO THAT? I'M LOOKING FOR SOME INPUT.
FOR THINGS ON THE AGENDA, WE TEND TO HOPE THAT THERE'S TWO OF PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED.
SO WE'LL USE THE SAME PROCESS THAT WE DO FOR GETTING THINGS ON THE AGENDA, THAT IF THERE'S TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN BRINGING SOMEBODY UP, THEN WE WOULD ACTIVATE THE PROCESS FOR ADDITIONAL INTERVIEW TIME.
IS THAT AGREED? AND THEN DO WE HAVE JUST A GENERAL, SINCE WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT THIS EXCEPT FOR IN PUBLIC, DO WE HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF, I WOULD THINK THAT WE'D WANT TO SCHEDULE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
SO ARE WE THINKING LIKE 30 MINUTES, 20 MINUTES? I MEAN, YOU GUYS INTERVIEWED, DO MORE INTERVIEWS.
WE ARE LOOKING AT DOING A TIME SET ITEM FOR THIS, FOR THE INTERVIEWS.
AFTER EACH OF THE CANDIDATES, FAIRNESS IN TERMS OF HEARING, SOMEBODY HEARING THE QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME AND HAVING.
YEAH, BASED UPON, YOU KNOW, BEST APPROACH, FIVE QUESTIONS AT MINIMUM.
YOU FIGURE FIVE MINUTES PER QUESTION PLUS FOLLOW-UP OR EXPLANATION.
YEAH, AND I WOULD ASSUME WE'D LET THEM START WITH A LITTLE, HERE'S WHO I AM AND WHY, AND THEN A WRAP-UP AND THE QUESTIONS, RIGHT? RIGHT.
THE INITIAL QUESTION WOULD BE ONE FOR EVERYBODY.
STAFF WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST, BASICALLY, OR PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
QUESTIONS WOULD NOT COVER INTRODUCE YOURSELF, BUT WOULD BE MORE TO.
EVERYBODY'S COMFORTABLE AND UNDERSTANDS THE PROCESS.
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A GOOD PROCESS? IS THERE A PUBLIC COMMENT? I FORGET.
DID WE DO PUBLIC COMMENT? BECAUSE I STARTED TO, THEN WE STARTED TALKING.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS.
NO COMMENTS? YEAH, I JUST WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN PUT PARAMETERS REGARDING ANY SIGNS OR CHEERING, ANYTHING THAT COULD KIND OF, DURING THIS COURSE OF THE OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT, I MEAN OPEN INTERVIEW SESSION THAT WE KIND OF CONTROL AND MANAGE.
WELL, WE'LL USE THE SAME RULES THAT WE HAVE FOR ALL ITEMS. I MEAN, WE CAN'T ABSOLUTELY PROHIBIT SIGNS.
CLAPPING WE CAN STRONGLY DISCOURAGE BECAUSE IT'S DISRUPTIVE.
BUT I THINK THE GENERAL GROUND RULES WE HAVE ARE PROBABLY
[02:45:04]
ABOUT AS MUCH AS WE CAN DO, CONSISTENT WITH FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, TO LIMIT AUDIENCE INTERACTION IN A MATTER.YEAH, I WAS JUST REFERRING TO, LIKE, SIGNS MAYBE JUST THROWN IN PEOPLE'S FACES.
I WOULD SAY BRINGING IN SIGNS IS PROBABLY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE BOARD SUPPORTING A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE.
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE THAT FEEL THAT A CERTAIN CANDIDATE MISREPRESENTED A CASE A CERTAIN WAY AND THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT AND THEY BRING IT HERE FOR ATTENTION.
AND I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THAT BECAUSE THIS IS OUR TIME TO BE ABLE TO INTERVIEW THE APPROPRIATE PERSON TO APPOINT FOR DA.
I MEAN, WE CAN'T PROHIBIT THE SIGNS, BUT WE CAN.
TO THE EXTENT THEIR USE WOULD BE DISRUPTIVE OR WOULD PREVENT OTHERS FROM SEEING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE MEETING.
ANYTHING ADDITIONAL? ALL RIGHT.
SO THAT WILL BE THE FIRST THING ON, BECAUSE IT'S TIME SET, WILL THAT BE THE FIRST THING? BECAUSE IT'S THE 23RD, AND WE'VE ALREADY, YOU KNOW, PUT IT, BUMPED SOMETHING ELSE THERE.
THE INTENTION IS TO WORK WITH YOU IN TERMS OF AGENDA SETTING AND WHETHER TO TIME SET THAT FOR 9 O'CLOCK OR 11 O'CLOCK.
THE CHAIR WILL WORK WITH THE CEO.
BECAUSE WE DO, JUST AS A REMINDER,
[25. Receive update on Pedal Forward: E-bike Incentive Program, a partnership with the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District; and approve allocation of $50,000 in Yolo County Central Landfill Out-of-County Tip Fee Surcharge for Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) funding to the Pedal Forward: E-bike Incentive Program. (No general fund impact) (Webb/Wraithwall) (Est. Staff Presentation: 5 min) ]
WE DO HAVE THE CONTINUED HEARING FROM EARLIER ON THE SITE'S RESERVOIR.THAT'S THE ONE I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
SO WE'LL COORDINATE WITH YOU, CHAIR.
AND NOW ANOTHER PRESENTATION FROM THE UPDATE ON THE PEDAL FORWARD E-BIKE INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
HI CHAIR ALLEN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I'M KRISTEN WRAITH-WALL, SUSTAINABILITY MANAGER COUNTY AND I AM VERY, VERY EXCITED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO SARAH KIM WHO IS A CIVIC SPARK FELLOW WITH THE SUSTAINABILITY DIVISION.
SPARK FELLOW PROGRAM IS, IT'S A ONE-YEAR AMERICAN POSITION WITH THE COUNTY.
IT IS RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES WHO ARE READY TO JUMP INTO A CAREER IN PUBLIC SERVICE AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE COUNTY JUST INCREDIBLY LUCKED OUT WITH SARAH SHE'S BEEN AMAZING AND BROUGHT SO MUCH TO THE TEAM DURING HER TIME HERE AND SHE HAS BEEN ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT SHE'S BEEN WORKING ON IS THE PEDAL FORWARD E-BIKE INCENTIVE PROGRAM ALL THE COORDINATION WITH THE AIR DISTRICT SO I AM EXCITED TO HAND IT OFF TO SARAH AND LET HER TAKE THIS PRESENTATION TODAY THANK YOU SO MUCH GOOD MORNING ALL GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR ELLEN AND TODAY I'M HERE TO PRESENT THE PEDAL FORWARD E-BIKE INCENTIVE PROGRAM, AN E-BIKE VOUCHER PROGRAM THE COUNTY WILL IMPLEMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE YOLO-SOLANO AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.
OKAY, SO THIS PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED IN RESPONSE TO THE COUNTY'S 2030...
CLIMATE ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN 2024.
IT DIRECTLY ADVANCES STRATEGY TO ACTION VMT1D, WHICH CALLS ON THE COUNTY TO PROVIDE E-BIKE SUBSIDIES AND COUNTYWIDE E-BIKE SAFETY EDUCATION TO INCREASE E-BIKE USE WHILE EMPHASIZING SAFETY.
FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED BY THE YOLO COUNTY CENTRAL LANDFILL OUT OF COUNTY TIP FEE SURCHARGE THAT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN 2024 TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC-FACING TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIES FOUND IN THE COUNTY'S CAP AT A HIGH LEVEL THE PROGRAM WILL HAVE TWO TIERS OF VOUCHERS THAT WILL BE AWARDED THROUGHOUT A RANDOM SELECTION PROCESS IT WOULD BE A 750 GENERAL VOUCHER AND A 1500 LOW INCOME VOUCHER ALL APPLICANTS MUST BE 18 YEARS OR OLDER, ONLY ONE VOUCHER WILL BE DISTRIBUTED PER HOUSEHOLD, AND THE APPLICANTS MUST AGREE TO OWN AND OPERATE THE E-BIKE FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
APPLICANTS WHO WILL RECEIVE A VOUCHER FUNDED THROUGH THE YOLO COUNTY LANDFILL FEE ARE REQUIRED TO BE YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS.
TO QUALIFY FOR A LOW-INCOME VOUCHER, APPLICANTS MUST MEET THE COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION'S LOW-INCOME THRESHOLD OR BE ENROLLED IN A QUALIFYING INCOME-BASED ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
WITH THE FUNDING AVAILABLE, AN ESTIMATE OF 80 TO 120 VOUCHERS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF LOW-INCOME VOUCHERS AWARDED.
THE TOTAL FUNDING OF THE PROGRAM WILL BE $125,000.
$50,000 WILL BE FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED LANDFILL FEE AND $74,000 WILL BE FROM THE AIR DISTRICT AND WILL BE FUNDED FROM THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCE BOARD'S COMMUNITY AIR PROTECTION INITIATIVE PROGRAM.
WHILE FUNDING FROM THE LANDFILL FEE WILL BE RESTRICTED TO YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS, THE CARB PROGRAM FUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE
[02:50:02]
FOR BOTH YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS AS WELL AS SOLANO COUNTY RESIDENTS.TO PRIORITIZE LOW-INCOME APPLICANTS, MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF YOLO COUNTY VOUCHER RECIPIENTS, AND TO ENSURE THE ENTIRETY OF THE LANDFILL FEE GOES TO YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS, THERE WILL BE A SIX-STEP...
SIX-STEP DRAWING PROCESS SEEN AS IN THE PRESENTATION.
DETAILED INFORMATION OF THE PROCESS IS ALSO ATTACHED IN THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE DOCUMENT.
NEXT, I WILL PROVIDE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE VOUCHER REDEMPTION PROCESS.
ONCE RECIPIENTS ARE RANDOMLY SELECTED BY THE AIR DISTRICT STAFF, THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AN E-BIKE SAFETY TRAINING PRIOR TO RECEIVING THEIR VOUCHER.
THE VOUCHER CAN BE THEN REDEEMED AT A PARTICIPATING LOCAL BIKE STORE SO THAT THE VOUCHER RECIPIENTS CAN PURCHASE AN E-BIKE AT A DISCOUNTED AMOUNT POINT OF SALE THE PEDAL FORWARD EBIKE INCENTIVE PROGRAM CONSIDERS EBIKE SAFETY AS A TOP PRIORITY.
TO ENSURE ALL VOUCHER RECIPIENTS AND THE YOLO COUNTY COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE HAS EBIKE SAFETY INFORMATION AND RESOURCES, THE PROGRAM IS PARTNERING WITH THE YOLO COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY'S PUBLIC HEALTH BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PROGRAM, WHICH IS FUNDED BY A GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC.
THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, ALL LOW-INCOME VOUCHER RECIPIENTS WILL RECEIVE A FREE HELMET VOUCHER THAT THEY CAN REDEEM AT ONE OF THE SIX HHSA BIKE HELMET DISTRIBUTION EVENTS.
ALL VOUCHER RECIPIENTS ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE ONLINE E-BIKE SAFETY COURSE CALLED E-BIKE SMART SAFETY PROGRAM, WHICH IS CREATED BY PEOPLE FOR BIKES AND LEAGUE OF AMERICAN BICYCLISTS.
THIS COURSE COVERS DEFINITION AND REGULATIONS OF E-BIKES, E-BIKE MAINTENANCE, BIKE SAFETY PRACTICES, AND BIKING ETIQUETTE.
TO ENSURE THAT THE RECIPIENTS HAVE COMPLETED THE COURSE, ALL VOUCHER RECIPIENTS MUST COMPLETE AN ONLINE SAFETY QUIZ AND SEND THEIR RESULTS TO THE AIR DISTRICT PRIOR TO RECEIVING THEIR VOUCHER.
ONCE PARTICIPANTS REDEEM THEIR VOUCHERS AT THE BIKE STORES, THE BIKE STORE STAFF WILL ALSO ADMINISTER A HANDS-ON E-BIKE SAFETY TRAINING THAT GOES OVER INFORMATION AND DEMONSTRATIONS ON HOW TO OPERATE LIGHTS, BRAKES, AND THE BATTERY, AS WELL AS E-BIKE REGULATIONS AND SAFETY PRACTICES.
THE BIKE STORES WILL BE RECEIVING TRAINING FROM THE AIR DISTRICT BEFORE THE VOUCHER DISTRIBUTION PERIOD.
ADDITIONALLY, THE HHSA WILL HOST A COUNTYWIDE E-BIKE SAFETY WEBPAGE ON THEIR WEBSITE.
THIS CONTENT WAS DEVELOPED IN COORDINATION WITH THE STAFF AND LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM THE CITIES OF DAVIS, WITH SACRAMENTO, WINTERS, AND WOODLAND, AS WELL AS THE UC DAVIS BICYCLE.
THE E-BIKE INCENTIVE PROGRAM WILL ONLY OFFER CLASS 1 AND 2 E-BIKES AS DEFINED BY THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE.
CLASS 1 E-BIKES ARE PEDAL ASSIST E-BIKES THAT HAVE A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MILES PER HOUR AND CLASS 2 E-BIKES ARE E-BIKES WITH THROTTLES THAT HAVE A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 20 MILES PER HOUR.
LASTLY, HERE'S A QUICK TIMELINE OF THE PROGRAM.
PENDING APPROVAL FROM THE AIR DISTRICT BOARD, THE APPLICATION WILL BE OPEN ON MONDAY, JUNE 15TH AND WILL BE OPEN FOR FOUR WEEKS.
DURING THE APPLICATION PERIOD, THE YOLO COUNTY SUSTAINABILITY DIVISION AND THE AIR DISTRICT TEAM WILL CONDUCT EXTENSIVE COUNTYWIDE OUTREACH AT LOCATIONS SUCH AS THE YOLO COUNTY HOUSING SITES, YOLO FOOD BANK DISTRIBUTION SITES, FARMERS MARKETS.
AND EVENTS SUCH AS THE WEST SACRAMENTO JUNETEENTH FESTIVAL TO ENSURE BROAD AWARENESS AND ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM.
AT THE CLOSE OF THE APPLICATION WINDOW, VOUCHERS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED VIA A RANDOM DRAWING IN LATE JULY.
THE HHSA TEAM WILL HOST THE HELMET DISTRIBUTION EVENTS AND IN-PERSON E-BIKE SAFETY TRAININGS BETWEEN JULY AND AUGUST.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION.
ARE THERE ANY BOARD QUESTIONS? YES, OKAY.
THANKS, SARAH, SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION OVERVIEW.
JUST THE SAFETY TRAININGS THAT ARE TO BE HELD, ARE THOSE, DO WE HAVE LOCATIONS FOR THOSE YET? I MEAN, ARE THEY ALL GOING TO BE HELD IN WOODLAND? THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I TYPICALLY HAVE, RIGHT? SO, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, HHSA WILL PARTICIPATE IN A BIKE SAFETY RODEO AND THEY WILL PRIMARILY DO THOSE HERE IN WOODLAND AND PEOPLE ARE RIDING BIKES ACROSS THE COUNTY AND SO YOU KNOW WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IN ORDER
[02:55:01]
TO MAXIMIZE LIKE YOU KNOW PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE COUNTY THAT SOME OF THE TRAININGS ARE HELD ACROSS THE COUNTY NOT JUST HERE IN WOODLAND FOR EXAMPLE SO JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT THANK YOU.YEAH DEFINITELY WE ARE STILL IN CONVERSATION WITH HHSA ON THE EXACT LOCATIONS AND TIMES OF THE EVENTS.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE, WE DEFINITELY HAVE ONE SCHEDULED IN AUGUST.
WE DON'T KNOW THE LOCATION YET, BUT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO HAVE ADDITIONAL TRAININGS AS WELL.
ADDITIONAL TO THE IN-PERSON TRAININGS, WE WILL VERY HEAVILY PUSH THE ONLINE TRAINING FOR ALL THE BOTCH RECIPIENTS AND ANY E-BIKE RIDERS IN THE COUNTY SO THAT EVERYONE HAS THE INFORMATION AND NECESSARY REGULATION INFORMATION OF THE LOCAL AREAS AND ANY RULES THAT APPLY TO THEM.
AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAVE RIGHT NOW IS AROUND JUST THE, I KNOW THIS PROGRAM IS MEANT TO BE SPECIFICALLY FOR EITHER CLASS ONE OR CLASS TWO.
EQUIPMENT UH YOU JUST SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THE DECISION AROUND TO NOT INCLUDE CLASS THREE THANK YOU AS UM AS E-BIKES BECOME MORE PREVALENT UM CURRENTLY THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ON E-BIKE REGULATIONS AND FOLLOWING THE DISCUSSION ON THE UM WITH THE BOARD LIAISONS OF THE CLIMATE COMMISSION AND GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF A LOT OF LIKE THE CLASS THREE STATE REGULATIONS CURRENTLY THIS YEAR, AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR, WE ARE FOCUSING ON LIKE THE SLOWER CLASS 1 AND 2S.
OH, YOU HAVE A QUESTION ALSO? OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATIONS.
I MEAN, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB OF KIND OF LAYING OUT, KIND OF MAKING SURE THAT FOLKS ARE AWARE THAT WE'RE DOING IT COUNTYWIDE.
IN YOUR PRESENTATION, IT SAYS HERE THE COLLABORATIONS.
THE ADVISORY GROUPS OR EXTERNAL PARTNER AGENCIES IN WEST SACRAMENTO, CAN YOU IDENTIFY? WHO HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SAFETY PORTION? JUST IN TERMS, WELL, IT JUST SAYS COLLABORATIONS.
IT DOESN'T SAY SPECIFICALLY SAFETY.
BUT, YEAH, I WOULD SAY YES TO THAT AND THEN YES TO KIND OF PROMOTING IT AND MAKING SURE THAT FOLKS ARE AWARE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT IN THE STAFF REPORT.
YEAH, SO THAT IS MAINLY TALKING ABOUT THE SAFETY PORTION OF THE E-BIKE PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM ITSELF IS THE YOLO COUNTY AND THE AIR DISTRICT.
THE SAFETY PROGRAM, LAST MONTH WE HAD A COUNTY-WIDE MEETING BETWEEN ALL THE CITY STAFF AND THE TRANSPORTATION STAFF AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH THE CHIEF OFFICERS AND EVERYONE.
AND WE TALKED ABOUT CURRENT E-BIKE REGULATIONS IN THEIR LOCAL CITIES, ANY FUTURE EVENTS.
FOR SAFETY EVENTS AND EVERYTHING AND ADDITIONALLY WE CIRCULATED THE E-BIKE SAFETY WEBSITE THAT WE'RE GOING TO PULL PUBLISH IN THE HHSA WEBSITE AND THAT HAS THAT IS BEING REVIEWED BY ALL THE CITY STAFF AND THE LAW THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AS WELL OKAY NO I'M JUST I'M SORRY AND I SAW THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS WERE INVOLVED FOR OBVIOUS REASONS BECAUSE THE SAFETY IS KIND OF CRITICAL SPECIALTY.
SAFETY, AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE WAS AWARE OF THE REGULATIONS, AND WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE.
UNDERSTOOD, BUT OUTSIDE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, THERE'S NO OTHER.
IT SAYS ADVISORY GROUPS AND EXTERNAL PARTNER AGENCIES, SO I JUST ASSUMED THAT THERE WERE OTHERS, BUT IT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO.
AND CITY PLANNING STAFF AS WELL.
AND THEN WHEN WE ACTUALLY GET TO THE PROGRAM ROLLOUT STAGE, WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICERS OF ALL OF THE CITIES TO GET THIS OUT IN A WIDESPREAD WAY.
AND ONE OTHER NOTE, ELECTION OF SOME OF THESE TRAINING EVENTS AND HELMET DISTRIBUTIONS.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED WITH THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY TEAM IS BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT SELECTED THE SITES YET, BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING TO SEE WHERE WE GET APPLICANTS COMING IN FROM.
WITH THE HELMET DISTRIBUTION EVENTS IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE PLANNING TO.
HOPEFULLY HOST THEM IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE SEE THE GREATEST NUMBER OF APPLICANTS BEING SELECTED FOR VOUCHERS.
SO WE'RE KEEPING SOME FLEXIBILITY BY DESIGN SO THAT WE CAN MEET PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AND WHERE THE.
YEAH, IT'S SUPER HELPFUL BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S KIND OF A NUANCED PIECE OF THIS KIND OF PROJECT IS THAT THE NOTION THAT THE FOLKS WHO I APPRECIATE THE RANDOM SELECTION COMPONENT, BECAUSE I THINK THAT CREATES SOME LEVEL OF FAIRNESS.
BUT THE TRUTH IS, IF IT'S IF IT'S CONCENTRATED IN AREAS WHERE FOLKS ARE MORE.
WHERE OR APT TO APPLY FOR THINGS LIKE THIS, THEN THE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO GROW AND YOU MAY NOT END UP WITH AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION.
AND SO I'M JUST, I'M PUTTING KIND OF A PIN ON THAT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS YOU ARE RANDOMLY SELECTING, IF THERE'S AN OVER-CONCENTRATION IN CERTAIN AREAS, WE PROBABLY WANT TO THINK
[03:00:01]
ABOUT HOW WE'RE DOING.AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS IN TERMS OF THE QUALIFYING BIKE SHOPS, DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF? BIKE SHOPS ARE QUALIFYING.
I'M ASSUMING IT'S GOT TO BE KEPT IN THE COUNTY.
IS THAT RIGHT? THE BIKE SHOPS INSIDE THE COUNTY AND SOME IN SOLANO COUNTY AS WELL.
SO DO YOU HAVE A LIST OF THE BIKE SHOPS THAT ARE QUALIFIED TO? CURRENTLY, WE ARE LIKE TALKING WITH THE BIKE SHOP.
SOME OF THEM ARE LIKE CONSIDERING IT.
SO WE WILL HAVE THE LIST WHEN WE.
I THINK WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ACCESS AND APPLICATIONS ARE GOING TO BE IMPORTANT.
AND I'LL JUST PUT A PIN IN THAT ONE AS WELL BECAUSE I'LL JUST SAY THAT.
IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE GET FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE ARE TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO MAKE SHOPS THAT WE HAVE OUR.
IN TERMS OF ELIGIBILITY, WE MADE THE OFFER TO EVERY SINGLE BIKE SHOP IN THE COUNTY.
THEY NEEDED TO HAVE E-BIKES IN STOCK AND THE ABILITY TO ENGAGE WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
I WILL SAY, IN ADDITION TO YOLO AND SOLANO, WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO SEVERAL BIKE SHOPS IN SACRAMENTO, PARTICULARLY ONES IN PROXIMITY TO CLARKSBURG AND, YOU KNOW, DOWNTOWN WEST SACRAMENTO, AND THOSE ARE PLANNING ON MOVING FORWARD.
SO WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL SACRAMENTO-BASED SHOPS THAT...
YEAH, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT QUALIFIED AS PART OF THE FUNDING CRITERIA.
AND NOW ONE THING ABOUT KRISTEN, HER TEAM EQUITY IS ALWAYS TOP OF MIND.
THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A WHILE.
DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? GO AHEAD.
COULD THERE BE A SCENARIO IN WHICH INDIVIDUALS THAT RECEIVE THE MAJORITY OF THE VOUCHERS OR A HIGH, HIGH NUMBER OF VOUCHERS ARE IN A CERTAIN AREA, THE COUNTY? AS THE PROGRAM IS SET UP RIGHT NOW, THAT IS A THEORETICAL POSSIBILITY, AND I THINK IF THAT IS THE CASE, THE VERY FIRST CATEGORY OF FOLKS THAT WE'RE GOING TO IS LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS ONLY.
AND IT IS GOING TO BE ON STAFF AND IN OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THIS IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
I THINK A LOT OF IN THE E-BIKE SPACE, THERE WAS A LOT OF FOCUS.
CARB DID A PROGRAM LAST YEAR, 01,000 VOUCHERS.
OVER 100,000 PEOPLE ENTERED THE WAITING ROOM IN FIVE MINUTES, CRASHED CARB SYSTEM, AND IT REALLY BLEW BACK.
AND I THINK FOR US, IT WAS SUCH A GREAT LESSON LEARNED.
I THINK THE OVERWHELMING INTEREST WAS SO MUCH GREATER THAN EXPECTED.
AND GIVING OURSELVES THIS MONTH-LONG APPLICATION PERIOD, WE ARE REALLY GOING TO BE SPENDING A LOT OF OUR TIME GOING OUT TO THE UNINCORPORATED AREA, GOING TO EACH ONE OF THE CITIES, AND SPREADING THE WORD THE BEST THAT WE CAN AT COMMUNITY EVENTS.
AND SO THE DRAWING SECTION HERE DOES NOT HAVE A GEOGRAPHICAL BALANCING CRITERIA AT ANY POINT.
IT DOES HAVE LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS FIRST.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY WHERE IF WE GET MORE THAN 100 LOW-INCOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS APPLYING, ALL OF THE VOUCHERS WILL GO TO LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS FIRST BEFORE ANY APPLICANTS GO TO THE GENERAL APPLICATION POOL.
SO WE WILL HIT THE PRIORITY CRITERIA FIRST, BUT A LOT OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION IS...
GOING TO BE ON STAFF TO GET THE WORD OUT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.
WE CAN DISCUSS MORE WITH THE AIR DISTRICT ABOUT WHAT THEIR CRITERIA IS.
THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE THE ONES RECEIVING THE APPLICATION AND GOING THROUGH THE SELECTION PROCESS, SO THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT WE CAN HAVE WITH THEM.
IT'S GOING TO BE GOING TO THEIR BOARD ON JUNE 10TH FOR A DISCUSSION.
I GUESS I'M NOT TRYING TO SINGLE OUT ANY GROUP, BUT THE EASIER PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE LOW-INCOME THAT ARE WILLING TO...
TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.
AND SO MY ISSUE THERE IS THAT IF THAT'S THE CASE AND THERE'S BECOME A HIGH SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING THAT VOUCHER AS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, THEY'RE CONSIDERED LOW INCOME, WHICH IS GREAT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHAT ABOUT THE LOW INCOME PERSON IN THE RURAL AREA, WHETHER IN WEST SAC AND OTHER...
SO MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT PLACING A CAP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE BETTER, BUT, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T WANT TO LAND IN THAT SCENARIO.
YEAH, WELL, I THINK, TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN.
I THINK, I MEAN, LOOKING BACK AT THE PAGE FOUR, I MEAN, WHICH, YOU KNOW, ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND SUCH, I MEAN, I THINK A FEW THINGS.
ONE, I'LL JUST SAY, AT LEAST IN THE CASE OF UC DAVIS, MANY OF THE STUDENTS AT UC DAVIS ARE
[03:05:01]
NOT YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS.SO THEY WOULDN'T NECESSARILY QUALIFY THERE, POSSIBLY.
I MEAN, THERE'S NUMEROUS THINGS, BUT THEN THERE'S OTHER.
I MEAN, I THINK IT SAYS NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN LOW-INCOME PROGRAMS SUCH AS CARE AND FERA.
THAT'S UTILITY RATE PAYER, LIKE IF YOU'RE PAYING YOUR ELECTRIC BILL.
IS IT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN ALL OF THEM? I MEAN, JUST.
YEAH WHAT ARE THESE IT'S EITHER OR SO IF YOU MEET THE INCOME THRESHOLD YOU DO NOT ALSO NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN CARE FAIR OR WANT TO BE ENROLLED IN ONE OF THESE OTHER UM THIS IS HOW THEIR DISTRICT OFTEN DOES INCOME ELIGIBILITY JUST TO GIVE FLEXIBILITY SOME FOLKS MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT THEIR INCOME LEVEL IS BUT THEY LIKE OH I'M ELIGIBLE FOR KAREN FARAH.
SO THEREFORE I'M LIKE MY SNAP BENEFITS OR WE YEAH WITH FOREVER.
APPRECIATE THAT YEAH, I MEAN I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF AND YOU WERE ABOUT TO ANSWER I THINK KRISTEN I APOLOGIZE WHEN I HAD STEPPED IN ON THE JUST ON THE YOLO COUNTY RESIDENT ITEM.
I THINK THAT YOU KNOW THE WHOLE POINT IS FIRSTLY, YOU SAID THERE WAS AT LEAST ANOTHER SLIDE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE SORT OF, YOU KNOW, ATTEMPTING TO CAST A WIDE NET AROUND IN TERMS OF JUST THE, YOU KNOW, OUTREACH TO, I MEAN, ALL OF THE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE YOLO COUNTY HOUSING, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITIES.
I MEAN, THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF, YOU KNOW, SORT OF ATTEMPT THERE.
I MEAN, I GUESS IT'S IN THE STAFF REPORT.
SO JUST, YOU KNOW, IF WE WANT TO SET, BE SURE TO SET SOME SORT OF.
NOT TO EXCEED NUMBER AROUND STUDENTS, FOR EXAMPLE.
BUT I JUST APPRECIATE ALL THE DIFFERENT ITEMS THAT YOU'VE RAISED.
I ALSO HAD APPRECIATED THE QUESTION ABOUT THE BIKE SHOP ELIGIBILITY.
FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S A BIKE SHOP JUST IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO THAT'S JUST SUPER CLOSE TO WEST SAC, FOR EXAMPLE.
BUT TO SUPERVISOR VEGAS' POINT, PEOPLE NOT NECESSARILY DRIVING A HALF AN HOUR TO WOODLAND OR DAVIS OR SOMEWHERE ELSE OR SOLANO COUNTY FOR A BIKE SHOP.
REALLY APPRECIATE THE KIND OF FINE, THE POINT OVERALL IS APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND THE FINE TUNING TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF GET THE RIGHT FIT FOR THIS OVERALL PROGRAM.
OKAY, I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
I DON'T KNOW, HOPEFULLY YOU DO.
DOES IT REQUIRE A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HELMET IF YOU HAVE A CLASS ONE OR TWO? OR IS IT THE SAME AS A PEDAL BIKE? I BELIEVE IT IS THE SAME.
THEY DO TALK ABOUT LIKE HAVING LIKE A MORE LIKE HEAVY-DUTY HELMET BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT LIKE TYPES OF HELMETS BUT THE AVERAGE LIKE BIKE HELMETS THAT WE LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ADVERTISE AND SAY THAT IT'S LIKE SAFE FOR BIKERS THAT IS USUALLY FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN AND RESEARCHED THAT IS USUALLY FINE FOR CLASS ONE AND TWO E-BIKES I JUST YEAH SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE INTERESTED IN THAT THEN OVER THE WEEKEND, MY GRANDSON AND I HAD A CHANCE TO GO OUT TO THE DUMP LANDFILL.
AND I WAS, WELL, I'M ALWAYS HORRIFIED WHEN I'M OUT THERE ABOUT PEOPLE THROWING THINGS OUT THAT REALLY I'M LIKE, YOU COULD HAVE RECYCLED THAT MATTRESS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? AND I SAW SOME BIKES GOING IN AND I WAS LIKE, ARE THOSE E-BIKES? BECAUSE THOSE HAVE A BATTERY IN THEM.
HAVE WE CONTEMPLATED AT ALL ABOUT EITHER AT LEAST TEACHING PEOPLE THAT AT THE END OF EITHER THE BATTERY LIFE OR THE BIKE LIFE OF PROPER DISPOSAL? WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC ITEM ON DISPOSAL, BUT AS PART OF THE BIKE SHOPS LIKE SAFETY TRAINING THEY WILL TALK ABOUT LIKE BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND EVERYTHING AND WE ARE PROVIDING THE BIKE SHOPS WITH LIKE A SAFETY CHECKLIST SO THAT THEY CAN GO OVER THE CHECKLIST WHEN THEY'RE TALKING WITH THE VOUCHER RECIPIENTS.
SO THAT IS DEFINITELY AN ITEM THAT WE CAN INCORPORATE INTO THE CHECKLIST.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SOME PROBLEMS WITH LIKE EVEN IN LIKE THE GARBAGE TRUCKS WHEN THERE'S LITHIUM BATTERIES IN THERE THAT THEY CAN BE A PROBLEM.
SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE PROPERLY DISPOSED OF.
OKAY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? NO, CHAIR.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS.
AND BEFORE YOU GO, SARAH, BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE, WE LOVE OUR SPARKS FELLOWS, SO I HAVE, APPARENTLY THE LAST ONE WASN'T THE LAST TRACTOR PIN, BUT I DO HAVE A TRACTOR PIN FOR YOU.
THEN WE DO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ACTION.
OKAY, SO THE ACTION IS, LET ME GET TO THE FINAL SLIDE.
[03:10:02]
NO, IT'S NOT ON THE FINAL SLIDE.THE RECOMMENDED ACTION IS ITEM YOU ALREADY RECEIVED THE UPDATE, SO THIS WOULD BE FOR APPROVAL OF THE ALLOCATION OF THE $50,000 IN THE YOLO COUNTY COMPONENT OF THIS FROM THE CENTRAL LANDFILL OUT-OF-COUNTY TIP FEE SURCHARGE.
OKAY, IS THERE A MOTION FOR THAT? OKAY, MOVED BY SUPERVISOR FIERKS.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND BY SUPERVISOR BIXBY-SANDY.
ANY DISCUSSION? YES, GO AHEAD.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE CAME UP WITH OR THE CHALLENGES THAT WE SEE ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE VATRA PROGRAM.
AND YOU KNOW WE TRUST THAT IT WILL BE.
WELL AT LEAST I TRUST THAT IT WILL BE.
AND I THINK MAYBE A POINT OF PROCESS CLARIFICATION TOO FOR MEMBERS WHO ALSO SERVE ON THE AIR DISTRICT BOARD.
WE WILL MEET WITH THE AIR DISTRICT AFTER THIS.
THEY HAVE TIME BEFORE THEIR MEETING ON JUNE 10TH TO MAKE ADDITIONS, AMENDMENTS.
AND SO WE'LL WORK WITH THEM AND I THINK IF ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION AND SORT OF AMENDMENTS ARE HAPPENING TO THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL.
WE WILL DISCUSS HOW BEST TO HANDLE THAT WITH THE AIR DISTRICT, BUT HEARD AND REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RECEIVED.
AND I THINK JUST ON THAT POINT, I THINK IT COULD BE JUST GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE QUESTIONS AND SORT OF THE FOLLOW-UP SUGGESTIONS FROM THE BOARD, IT'D BE GOOD FOR US TO DO A SORT OF A POST-IMPLEMENTATION REPORT BACK TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF WHERE DO THE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE INCENTIVES OCCUR.
THROUGHOUT THE TWO COUNTIES, WHICH BICYCLE SHOPS WERE INVOLVED, GENERAL LOCATION WITHOUT GIVING UP PERSONAL INFORMATION, OF COURSE, BUT GENERAL LOCATION OF THE RECIPIENTS AND USE THAT AS GOOD INTEL FOR MOVING FORWARD FOR FUTURE PROGRAMS, WHETHER IT'S E-BIKES OR OTHERWISE, FOR IMPLEMENTATION, LEARNING FROM THAT.
I THINK I SAID, NOPE, YEP, OKAY.
[26. Action items and reports from members of the Board of Supervisors, including announcements, questions to be referred to staff and reports on various 2x2s and meetings with other agencies. (Board of Supervisors) Budget Ad Hoc Subcommittee update. (Supervisors Allen and Barajas)]
ALL RIGHT, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.OPPOSED? IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
OKAY, THEN WE WILL MOVE TO ACTION ITEMS AND REPORTS, BUDGET AD HOC.
WELL, YOU'LL BE SEEING WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT NEXT WEEK.
AND THE BUDGET BOOK IS OUT IN LIBRARIES, AND IS IT AVAILABLE ONLINE ALSO? IS THERE, LIKE, A LINK SOMEWHERE? YES, IT SHOULD BE POSTED ONLINE AS PER USUAL PRACTICE.
SO I'LL GO BACK AND VERIFY THAT, BUT THAT WILL BE ALWAYS POSTED ONLINE FOR EASE OF ACCESS.
WE DON'T WANT TO PRINT OUT IT.
YOU COULD WAVE YOURS AROUND, ANGEL.
INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
SO IF THE PUBLIC WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, YOU CAN FIND IT ON OUR WEBSITE SOMEPLACE.
YEAH, SUBCOMMITTEE, WE DID RECEIVE AN UPDATE.
IT'S GOING TO COME TO THE BOARD.
BUT REMEMBER, OUR EXERCISE THAT WE HAD IS TO BACK OUT SOME OF THESE POSITIONS.
DISCUSSED IN OUR PREVIOUS BOARD AS A RESULT OF THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS OF GENERAL FUND REDUCTIONS I KNOW THAT 13.2 OR AS WE WE ARE LOOKING TO NOT REDUCE CERTAIN STAFF LEVELS IT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD AS 2.5 MILLION AND 8.9 MILLION HHSA NON GENERAL FUND REDUCTIONS THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO BE PROPOSED TO THE BOARD BOARD NEXT WEEK.
ANY OTHER REPORTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS? YES, PLEASE.
MAYBE IT'S UNDER THE QUESTIONS TO REFER TO STAFF.
SO OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST WEEK, THE BILLBOARD THAT SORT OF INDICATED DOWNSIDES, I THINK THAT WE'VE ALL KNOWN ABOUT CANNABIS LISTED WITH THE COUNTY SEAL ON IT.
WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ALL THE OTHER THE EFFECTS OF CANNABIS PROBABLY MORE SO THE LEGAL MARKET OR THE MARKET STUFF NOT SO MUCH THAT WELL I DON'T EVEN KNOW I SHOULD SAY THAT BUT ANY CASE THEN AT THE SAME TIME THERE'S THIS DRAFT PRESS RELEASE THAT'S GOING TO GO OUT INDICATING THAT WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN CANNABIS AND SO WHILE THE BOTH MAY BE TRUE.
THE MESSAGING AROUND THAT SEEMS TO BE, I WOULD SAY CLUMSY, BUT SORT OF CONTRADICTORY IN WAYS, RIGHT? YOU'VE GOT THIS FREEWAY SIGN SAYING THE DOWNSIDES OF CANNABIS ARE THE FOLLOWING.
BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW ME, I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
SO I CALLED THE NUMBER TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW, WHAT WOULD SOMEBODY HEAR OR KNOW.
[03:15:01]
I WAS IMPRESSED.I MEAN, I THINK THE INFORMATION IS GOOD INFORMATION AND THEY FOLLOWED UP.
BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT MAYBE WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AROUND KIND OF MESSAGING AROUND THAT.
IT SEEMS CLUMSY THAT WE ARE SAYING THERE'S A PROBLEM AND THEN SAYING WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS FOR MORE.
I GUESS I'M ASKING STAFF IF WE CAN GET AT SOME POINT AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF WHAT THAT'S ABOUT OR SHOULD THE BOARD BE HAVING A CONVERSATION AROUND CANNABIS AS IT RELATES TO CANNABIS? SURFACE THAT BECAUSE I'M HAPPY TO RESPOND TO THAT.
SO YES, THE BILLBOARD THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO ON I-5, JUST EITHER IN OR JUST OUTSIDE OF CITY OF WOODLAND VICINITY, WAS DONE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH A STATE GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH THROUGH OUR PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND HHSA.
I'M WORKING WITH THE DIRECTOR OF HHSA TO GET MORE BACKGROUND AND INTEL IN TERMS OF THAT PROGRAM, IF YOU WILL, THAT EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAM.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S POLICY CONNECTION TO OUR CANNABIS PROGRAM AND OUR CLUO, OUR CANNABIS LAND USE ORDINANCE POLICY FRAMEWORK AS WELL.
AND YES, YOU'RE CORRECT IN TERMS OF THE OUTREACH THAT WE WERE PREPARING TO DEPLOY WITH RESPECT TO OUR CLUO.
I TOOK THE PREROGATIVE TO PUT A PAUSE ON THAT BEFORE IT WENT OUT.
IN RECOGNIZING THE SORT OF JUXTAPOSITION OF THOSE TWO MESSAGES THAT WERE SEEN TO BE SOMEWHAT ON THEIR FACE CONTRADICTORY, I'M IN DISCUSSION WITH OUR DIRECTOR TO HHSA DIRECTOR MONICA MORALES TO HAVE SOME MORE INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW THOSE TWO TOPICS CAN BE APPROPRIATELY RECONCILED, BECAUSE I DO THINK THEY CAN APPROPRIATELY COEXIST.
YOU KNOW THE MESSAGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND AWARENESS AND RESPONSIBILITY UM WITH ANY KIND OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE OF COURSE UM AND HOW THAT CAN COEXIST WITH YOU KNOW OUR CLUO AND YOU KNOW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT YOU KNOW I WORKED AS A COUNTY AS WELL SO WE UH ARE PREPARING SOME BACKGROUND MATERIAL AND INTEL FIRST SO THAT YOU KNOW I CAN BECOME MORE INFORMED AS OUR CAO ABOUT WHAT THE POLICY FRAMEWORK IS HERE AND THEN I THINK AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME THERE COULD BE A CONVERSATION WITH AT THE AD HOC LEVEL YOU KNOW FOLLOWED BY A BOARD A BOARD-WIDE CONVERSATION APPROPRIATELY RECONCILE THE TWO TWO TOPICS I WANTED TO ASK QUESTIONS, IN PART BECAUSE IF WE'RE PROMOTING OR MARKETING OURSELVES AS OPEN FROM SPACE, I WOULD BE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE, BUT I DEFINITELY HAVE A VISION IN HAVING THAT CONVERSATION.
I MEAN, THE CAPE A VALLEY HAS ITS OWN SORT OF FRAMEWORK AROUND EXPECTATIONS AND WHAT WE AGREE TO WITH THE TRIBE, AND I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO...
SOME AREAS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN EXPANDING THAT OPERATION.
I ALSO GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE AREAS WHO DO NOT.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT REQUIRES A BROADER POLICY DISCUSSION, IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, BECAUSE I DON'T, THE MESSAGING CAN GET CLUMSY IF WE ARE OPENLY ENTERTAINING PROPOSALS AND THERE ARE SOME AREAS WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING PROPOSALS ENTERTAINED IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I JUST THINK THIS OPENS UP A CAN OF WORMS THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY BE OF HARD-ANCE BEFORE WE GET TOO FAR OUT.
SO RIGHT AFTER CLOSED SESSION, I BROUGHT THE PICTURE TO OUR CAO REGARDING THE BILLBOARD ISSUE, AND HE WAS LOOKING INTO IT.
HE DID, IT'S ALL PUBLIC RECORD.
CONTACT SHIDON BECAUSE WE SERVE ON THE CANNABIS SUBCOMMITTEE.
SO WHATEVER HE'S BASICALLY SAID DID GO TO US, AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A GOOD DISCUSSION TO HAVE WITH THE DAIS BECAUSE I VIEWED IT AS A POLICY QUESTION REGARDING WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH MARKETED.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS, AND I COULD BE TOTALLY WRONG TOO, IS IN THE BLACK MARKET THERE'S A LOT OF CANNABIS THAT'S LACED.
THAT THEN TRIGGERS SCHIZOPHRENIA.
[03:20:02]
AND I'VE BEEN TOLD BY DOCTORS THAT IT'S THE GOOD CANNABIS THAT IS NOT LACED THAT DOESN'T TRIGGER SCHIZOPHRENIA.AND SO AS WE KNOW THAT YOLO COUNTY IS BASICALLY WE TEST OUR CANNABIS.
IT'S WELL-DOCUMENTED, WELL-RECEIVED.
WE'RE ONE OF THE MOST REGULATED COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING OUR CANNABIS PROGRAM.
WE CAN DISCUSS TO CLARIFY THAT KIND OF JUXTAPOSED POSITION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH HERE IN OUR COUNTY, HHSA, AND THAT'S ONE.
AND THEN TWO IS IN REGARDS TO THE PRESS RELEASE THAT WAS A DRAFT PRESS RELEASE THAT HASN'T GONE OUT.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY STATING WHAT'S ALREADY CURRENTLY HAPPENING.
IT'S REALLY CONDENSING AND HIGHLIGHTING WHAT'S ALREADY.
THEY'RE FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WANT TO COME TO YOLO COUNTY OR RECEIVE A LICENSE OR A PERMIT OR THINKING ABOUT COMING.
SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONS TO THE CURRENT POLICY OR CLU, THOUGH, OR INCENTIVES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF MAKE THOSE STATEMENTS.
[27. Long Range Planning Calendar - recurring opportunity for Board members to discuss and as needed, direct staff regarding future Board agenda items. (Board of Supervisors)]
FROM SUPERVISORS, ANY OTHER? THESE TWO-BY-TWOS ARE MEETINGS.MANY OF US WENT TO CSAC OR MAYBE THEY WERE.
OH, WE HAD A MEETING LAST WEEK, SO WE ALREADY SAID THAT.
OKAY, LONG-RANGE PLANNING CALENDAR.
I DON'T SEE IT ON THERE, BUT I KNOW THAT IN THE BUDGET.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SOLAR ARRAY AT THE JUSTICE, NO, SORRY, THE SOLAR ARRAY AT, NOT AT JUSTICE, FIXING THE ONE AT GRASSLANDS, THAT IS MOVING FORWARD, CORRECT? BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE WORRIED THAT WE'RE BUMPING UP AGAINST.
TIME FRAMES SO I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT ON THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING CALENDAR AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT HAPPENS SO THE THE REPAIR THE BOARD HAS APPROVED THE THE CONTRACT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REPAIR OF THE GRASSLANDS PHOTOVOLTAIC FACILITY YEAH YOU DID TAKE ACTION TO APPROVE THAT CONTRACT OKAY SO THAT IS GOING FORWARD IS THERE SOME TIMELINE FOR THE JUSTICE CAMPUS OR FOR AN EXPANSION THAT WE ARE BUMPING UP AGAINST OR ARE WE OKAY ON THAT ALSO YOU I WOULD NEED TO REPORT BACK ON THAT.
I JUST THOUGHT OF IT THIS MORNING.
HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT WHEN WE GET TO THE LONG RANGE.
WE'RE BLENDING INTO A LITTLE BIT OF LONG RANGE.
HAPPY TO HAVE A REPORT BACK FROM STAFF.
I WOULD CONSULT WITH OUR DIRECTOR OF GENERAL SERVICES TO CHECK IN ON THE TIMING OF THAT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T MISS A DEADLINE FOR THAT.
ON THE DISCUSSION THAT OCCURRED A MOMENT AGO ABOUT BRINGING AN ITEM BACK ON CANNABIS AND ANY APPARENT TENSION BETWEEN.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THE YOUTH SIDE.
IS THERE BOARD INTEREST IN HAVING THAT DISCUSSION BROUGHT BACK AS PART OF THE LONG-RANGE CALENDAR? MIKE AND I WERE CHATTING.
I HEARD SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS HAS AN INTEREST, AND WE DON'T WANT TO GET INTO A DEBATE ABOUT THE ITEM.
IS THERE INTEREST IN HAVING AN ITEM ON THAT? I REALLY DON'T.
IF THERE'S ALREADY A POSITION THAT IS CLEAR FROM OUR PUBLIC HEALTH THAT THAT INDIVIDUALLY DISCUSSED TO US PRIVATELY OR THROUGH AN EMAIL.
IF THIS WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIMING, IT'S A MATTER OF TIMING.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE WOULD INFORMATION ON THIS ITEM OR DEBATE THE POLICY BECAUSE IT RESURFACES.
NOW, ADDITIONAL ISSUES THAT I DON'T THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE RESURFACED AT THIS TIME.
FOR THE JUXTAPOSITION OF THE TIMING OF THEM AS THE, YOU KNOW, PERSON WHO'S KEYED INTO PUBLIC HEALTH THINGS, IT DIDN'T, THE TIMING OF IT DIDN'T BOTHER ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES.
SO THE TIMING WAS NOT SO WORRISOME TO ME.
WHAT I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN, BECAUSE I SERVE ON THE SUBCOMMITTEE, SO I KIND OF KNOW, LIKE, WHY THAT PRESS RELEASE WAS GOING OUT AND WHAT THE STATUS OF...
UM THAT OUR CANNABIS PROGRAM IS THAT UM I I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE WE COULD DO A BETTER JOB OF HAVING THE OUR STAFF COME BACK AND DO A PRESENTATION TO THE FULL BOARD ON WHERE WE ARE WITH IT AND WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN OR NO I THINK YEAH UM SO I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES IN PART BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND WHEN WE ARE PROMOTING RETAINING LOCATIONS, THINGS HAVE CHANGED
[03:25:04]
IN TERMS OF HISTORY HAS CHANGED, MARGINS HAVE CHANGED, THE HISTORY IS STRUGGLING TO JUST STAY SOLVENT.AND SO I GUESS THAT PROBABLY JUST AN UPDATE FROM STAFF, AND I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT HERE.
I MEAN, I CAN GET AN UPDATE, I GUESS.
TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON KIND OF HOW ARE WE PROMOTE? WHAT IS THE INTENT AFTER WE PROMOTE IT IF WE GET APPLICATIONS? HOW ARE WE PROMOTING WHAT WE ARE DOING TO SAY YEARS AGO WHEN THINK FLUID? STILL UNSETTLED AND SO I DON'T NECESSARILY THINK I HAVE TO DO IT HERE I CAN PROBABLY JUST MEET WITH STAFF AND UNDERSTAND IT NOBODY ELSE CARES ALL I CAN DO IT MYSELF OKAY WELL WE'LL LEAVE IT UM THERE SO THAT WE CAN AND I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY TO GET AN UPDATE SO MAYBE WE CAN ASK STAFF TO GIVE INDIVIDUAL BOARD UPDATES ON THE STATUS OF THE NUMBERS AT THAT FOR THE CANVAS PROGRAM AND THEN WE'LL SEE IF THERE'S AN INTEREST IN HAVING A DISCUSSION IF NEED BE FOR A POLICY WE HAPPY TO DO THAT GREAT.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER LONG-RANGE PLANNING? YES.
SO I'M LOOKING AT THE LONG-RANGE PLANNING CALENDAR THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE BOARD PACKET, REVISED 528.
SO I JUST HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.
THE JUNE 23RD PROPOSED BOARD MEETING, OR THAT IS HAPPENING, THERE'S A FEW ITEMS THAT I JUST HAVE QUESTIONS ON.
FIRSTLY, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY APPOINTMENT IS NOT ON THERE, SO WE MAY NEED TO UPDATE.
THE JUNE 23RD MEETING WITH THAT ITEM.
I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY UPDATE ON THE YOLO COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS TO BE PRESENTED BY THE ASSESSOR CLERK RECORDER ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT.
I DON'T, I'M A LITTLE LOST ABOUT THAT, SO CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
I ALSO IMAGINE THAT THE 26-27 MASTER FEE UPDATE IS, SHOULD SAY MASTER FEE UPDATE, NOT THE MASTER FREE UPDATE.
SO JUST WANTED TO JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT ONE QUICKLY.
AND THEN CURIOUS ABOUT ALSO JUST THE PH, ESPARTO PARK MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION ASSESSMENT DISTRICT.
I MEAN, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT PH STANDS FOR, SO I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THAT ONE.
AND THEN OVERALL, WHICH IS GOING TO RAISE, AND SO I'M THE CHAIR AND WORK ON THIS, BUT THAT.
I ASSUME PROMISES TO BE A VERY BUSY MEETING.
YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME ADJUSTING THERE.
SOME ITEMS MAY BE WARRANTED TO BE PUSHED OFF.
SO JUST WANTED TO, BUT I DO HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS.
CURIOUS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY UPDATE ON THE FAIRGROUNDS FROM THE ASSESSOR CLERK RECORDER ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT AND THE PH ESPARTO PARK MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT WOULD BE ASSESSOR CLERK RECORDER EITHER.
I MEAN, TYPICALLY THAT WOULD BE COMING.
WE HAVE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FROM THE FAIRGROUNDS COMING AND DOING THAT.
SO IF ANYTHING, IT SHOULD BE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, I BELIEVE.
I WILL DOUBLE CHECK WITH STAFF AFTERWARDS, OF COURSE, TO VERIFY THAT.
THE PH, I BELIEVE THIS STANDS FOR PUBLIC HEARING.
THEY SHOULD SPELL THAT OUT OR THE KEY IF WE'RE GOING TO USE.
THAT MEANS PUBLIC HEALTH TO ME.
SINCE IT'S AN ASSESSMENT, RIGHT.
IT IS ABOUT THE POOL, I ASSUME.
YEAH, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
THAT ACTUALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
IT PROBABLY IS PUBLIC HEARING, SO YEAH, HAVING IT MAYBE.
YEAH, I THINK IN THE PAST THAT WE'VE SPELLED THAT OUT WHEN THAT'S THE CASE OR INDICATED MORE SPECIFICALLY.
AND THEN AS FAR AS THE, YES, ABSOLUTELY, WE WOULD INCORPORATE THE DA INTERVIEW PROCESS ON HERE, OF COURSE.
AND SITES. AND SITES AS WELL, PER YOUR ACTION EARLIER TODAY.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I'LL WORK WITH OUR DEPARTMENT HEAD GROUP TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO SHIFT AND WITH THE CHAIR TO SEE WHAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO SHIFT OFF THE 23RD TO MAKE IT A BIT MORE BALANCED IN TERMS OF THE UPCOMING AGENDAS.
THANKS SO MUCH. APPRECIATE THAT. YES. YEAH, I GOT A COUPLE MORE. SO ONE OF THEM IS UNDER THE UPCOMING ITEMS WITH NO SET DATE FOR THE AG EXEMPT STRUCTURES. I THINK WE SHOULD SET A DATE FOR THAT. FOR THE AG. FARM WORKER HOUSING GET AN UPDATE COME COME BACK TO THE BOARD AND THEN THE FINAL BUDGET IN SEPTEMBER WE SHOULD PUT THAT
[28. Action items and reports from the County Administrator. (Webb) Presidential Executive Order Tracker 2026 Legislative Cycle Bill Position Summary]
IN THE LONG RANGE CALENDAR UPDATES THAT MOVES US TO THE NEXT ITEM WHICH IS REPORTS FROM OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR ALL RIGHT THANK YOU CHAIR I I ACTUALLY HAVE NO ADDITIONAL REPORTS TODAY. THERE'S NOTHING NEW IN THE EXECUTIVE ORDER TRACKER OR IN THE LEGISLATIVE CYCLE BILL POSITION SUMMARY.[03:30:01]
WE ARE, OF COURSE, ACTIVELY TRACKING THE STATE BUDGET PROCESS AND HOW THAT'S SHAPING UP, AND IT ADJUSTS AND SHIFTS DAILY, IF NOT HOURLY, AT THIS POINT.BUT WE'RE KEEPING CLOSE TABS ON THAT. WITH RESPECT TO THE BUDGET, YES, THE BUDGET BOOKS ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED, POSTED ONLINE. WE DO EXPECT THE STAFF REPORT THAT WILL ACCOMPANY THAT TO BE POSTED AT THE AGENDA PACKET CERTAINLY BY TOMORROW. WE'RE TRYING TO GET THAT OUT, POSTED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN NORMAL, THAN THE NORMAL
[ CLOSED SESSION]
THURSDAY AT THE END OF THE DAY. IT CAN HAVE MAXIMUM TIME TO REVIEW THAT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR CEO? ALL RIGHT. CLOSED SESSION. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT WE'LL BE REPORTING OUT? SO, YEAH, I DO EXPECT TO REPORT OUT ON ITEM 30, AND WE CAN PROBABLY DO THAT AS SOON AS 15 OR 20[ ADJOURNMENT]
MINUTES FROM NOW, PAULA, IF THAT'S DESIRABLE. OTHERWISE, WE'LL COORDINATE WITH YOU TO COME BACK A LITTLE LATER.OKAY. AND THEN SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS HAS ASKED.
TO PROVIDE AN ADJOURNMENT IN HONOR. YEAH, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THE PASSING OCCURRED OVER THE WEEKEND, SO I DIDN'T HAVE TIME. THE AGENDA HAD ALREADY BEEN SCHEDULED. BUT I JUST WANTED TO ASK THE BOARD RESPECTFULLY TO CLOSE THIS MEETING IN HONOR OF BARRY KALAR. BARRY KALAR, WILLIS CHIEF AND WEST OF CITIES INCORPORATION, 1987. IS THAT BETTER? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? YEAH, BARRY KALAR PASSED AT THE AGE OF 79 OF CANCER.
AND A VERY WELL RESPECTED VERY FIRST CHIEF HE HAD HIS HANDS FULL AS YOU CAN IMAGINE TRANSITIONING FROM YOLO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO POSITIONING INTO THE VERY VERY FIRST POLICE DEPARTMENT IN WEST SACRAMENTO I HAVE TREMENDOUS FOND MEMORIES AT THE TIME AND AT SOME POINT I THOUGHT IT'D BE WORKING THERE SO I KEPT IN TOUCH WITH BARRY OVER THE COURSE OF MANY YEARS. HE WAS A VERY ACTIVE MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY. HE SERVED ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. HE WAS AN ADJUNCT PROFESSOR AT SAC CITY COLLEGE. HE WAS VERY ACTIVE IN ROE. I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. SO I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DINNER WITH HIM, AND HE WAS STRUGGLING ALREADY.
HE SAID, YOU KNOW, BARRY, IT WOULD BE REALLY COOL IF YOU, FROM A STATUS UPDATE OR A REMINDER OF WHAT WE DID, CREATE THE VERY FIRST POLICE DEPARTMENT IN WEST SACRAMENTO AFTER WE INCORPORATED IT AS A CITY. AND HE SAID, THE TRUTH IS, OSCAR, I DON'T THINK I COULD PROBABLY TELL MOST OF WHAT I HAD TO DO. AND IT WAS TYPICAL BARRY FASHION, BUT HE SAID, I'D LOVE TO DO THAT. WE JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT.
BUT HE PUSHED HARD TO THE VERY END, AND SO I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE CLOSE TODAY'S MEETING. POLICE CHIEF IN WEST SACRAMENTO. SO, AND OUR TUESDAY, JUNE 9TH.
WE'RE ADJOURNED. OKAY, SO FOR ITEM 30 ON THE CLOSED SESSION AGENDA, THE STILLWATER TRUST LAWSUIT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY, 5-0, AUTHORIZED MY OFFICE TO FILE AN APPEAL OF THE OLO SUPERIOR COURT'S DECISION, AND THAT'S ALL THE INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED. THANKS.
