AS WELL, AS WELL AS OTHER MATTERS WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF THE BOARD THAT ARE NOT ON THE AGENDA AND THEN I UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY HAVE A CARD OR TWO THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO AN ITEM LATER ON THE AGENDA.

I WILL ALLOW THAT. BUT KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK TO THAT ITEM.

CHAIR, I HAVE SEVEN PUBLIC COMMENT CARDS FOR THOSE MAKING PUBLIC COMMENT.

YOU WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS. THE FIRST SPEAKER IS RICHARD OTTERSTAD.

GOOD MORNING BOARD. I'M READING A LETTER ON BEHALF OF ROBERT PAUL PRESTON, GOVERNOR PRO TEM OF NEW CALIFORNIA STATE, AND THIS LETTER WAS SUBMITTED TO THE THE COUNTY CLERK YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.

I PRESUME YOU HAVE COPIES. IF YOU DON'T, I CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL COPIES TO THE CLERK.

WE HAVE THEM. THANK YOU. OKAY. SO EACH OF THE BOARD HAS THAT.

OKAY. THIS LETTER HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO YOU TO THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS AND TO THE YOLO COUNTY SHERIFF.

ON THE REQUEST IS A NOTICE AND REQUEST TO BE HEARD.

THAT IS A PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE IS TO ASK FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THIS ENTIRE BOARD

[00:05:09]

THIS MORNING AND PRESENT A CLAIM CONTESTING THE CONFIRMATION OF ANY ELECTION RESULTS AT THE NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, YOU'LL BE CONSIDERING THAT I AM ALSO REQUESTING THAT THE BOARD DIRECT THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS TO RESPOND TO THE REQUEST. FOR THE INFORMATION BELOW, I INVITE YOUR ATTENTION TO CALIFORNIA ELECTION CODE SECTION 16100, SECTION D, WHICH STATES, IN PART, ANY ELECTOR OF A COUNTY, CITY OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF EITHER MAY CONTEST ANY ELECTION THERE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CAUSES. SECTION D SAYS THAT IS OF ILLEGAL VOTES WERE CAST.

NOW, THE FACTUAL BASIS FOR THIS REQUEST IS THAT IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A FLOOD OF ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ITS COUNTIES, CITIES, SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THESE ARE CITIZENS.

THESE NON-CITIZENS HAVE APPARENTLY BEEN ALLOWED TO REGISTER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

WITH THAT REGISTRATION, THESE NON-CITIZENS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH VOTER REGISTRATION AND ELECTION BALLOTS.

IT IS ALSO COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT SOME ILLEGAL ALIEN NON-CITIZENS HAVE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. TIME IS UP. THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PERRY FERRUCCI. THANK YOU.

BOARD. PROVIDING THESE NINE NON-CITIZENS, VOTER REGISTRATION AND ELECTION BALLOTS GIVE YOU THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND YOU, THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS, THE LEGAL BASIS TO SET ASIDE THE ELECTION AND DENY ITS CERTIFICATION DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ILLEGAL VOTERS SET FORTH IN CALIFORNIA ELECTION CODE 16100.

SPECIFICALLY, SUBSECTION D, THESE INCONTROVERTIBLE FACTS GIVE YOU, SHERIFF, NOT ONLY THE RIGHT, BUT THE OBLIGATION TO INVESTIGATE VOTER VOTER FRAUD.

IF THE BOARD AND REGISTRAR CERTIFY THE ELECTION, THEY WILL BE COMMITTING A FELONY TO THE BOARD OF REGISTRAR.

WOULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME AND THE PERSON WHO SERVED THIS LETTER ON YOU THE PROCESS AND IDENTIFY ALL OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS ENGAGED IN THE COLLECTION AND COUNTING OF BALLOTS, INCLUDING THE DISQUALIFICATION OF BALLOTS AND VOTER VERIFICATION AS A VOTER IN THIS STATE, AS IS THE SERVER OF THIS LETTER NAMED BELOW.

WE OBJECT TO OUR VOTES BEING DILUTED BY THE VOTES OF THOSE NOT LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

WE ALSO OBJECT TO ANY COMPOUNDING OF A FELONY BY CERTIFYING THE ELECTION RESULTS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER, AND GIVEN ME AN AUDIENCE WITH YOU TO CONSTITUTIONALLY ADDRESS THIS GRIEVANCE PURSUANT TO THE BILL OF RIGHTS ARTICLE ONE. YOURS TRULY. ROBERT PAUL PRESTON, NEW CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNOR, PRO TEM. AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO UNDERLINE THE THE FACT THAT ILLEGAL VOTES CAN BE PROSECUTED.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PAUL MUELLER.

GOOD MORNING. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT WATER AND LAND USE ISSUES IN YOLO COUNTY.

WITH REGARDS TO THESE IMPACTED AREAS WITHOUT STRONG WATER USE POLICY THAT INTEGRATES THE ROLES OF THE COUNTY.

THE ISGA, THE YOLO SUBBASIN GROUNDWATER AGENCY, YOLO COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL.

LANDOWNERS AND. AND CITIZENS. YOLO COUNTY IS A PLUM RIPE TO BE PICKED AND IS BEING PICKED AT THIS TIME.

UNLESS STRONG, COORDINATED WATER USE POLICIES ARE CLEAR. DEFINING ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

OPPORTUNITIES AND RESTRAINT. THE LANDS THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY UNALLOCATED RANGELANDS AND DUNNIGAN HILLS IN WESTERN YOLO COUNTY CAN BE PURCHASED AT BARGAIN PRICES, WITH THE PROMISE OF DEVELOPMENT INTO PERMANENT CROPS AND WATER, WITH FEW RESTRAINTS INCREASING THE VALUE OF THE LAND.

IT'S CLEAR. IT'S CLEAR THAT THE MORATORIUM ON NEW WELLS AND THE FOCUS AREA SHOULD BE CONTINUED, AND THE MESSAGE SENT TO THESE DEVELOPERS THAT THE ALLOCATION OF WATER, THE FUTURE ALLOCATION OF WATER IN THESE NEW IRRIGATED ORCHARDS, IS A RISKY PROPOSITION AND PERHAPS A POOR INVESTMENT.

THESE NEED TO BE CLEAR THAT THE ALLOCATION AND CONJUNCTIVE USE AT TIMES OF DROUGHT MIGHT NOT ALLOW THEIR USE OF WATER AND THEIR WELLS TO RUN.

THE HARD WORK OF DISCUSSING ALLOCATIONS IS STILL AHEAD IN THE PROCESS THAT ALL OF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN.

THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT REPORTS THAT THREE OF TEN YEARS OUT IN THE.

IN PAST WESTERN YOLO COUNTY, THERE MAY BE NO WATER AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE 6000 ACRE FEET OF OVERDRAFT CURRENTLY HAPPENING.

[00:10:04]

SO THE COUNTY HAS DONE LAND USE ISSUES BEFORE WITH CANNABIS.

CERTAINLY YOU STEPPED IN AND SAID THE RIGHT TO OWN LAND IS NOT THE RIGHT TO CULTIVATE CANNABIS, CERTAINLY THE RIGHT TO OWN PROPERTY IN THESE IMPACTED AREAS, NOT THE RIGHT, DOESN'T COME WITH THE RIGHT TO PUMP WATER TO MAINTAIN.

THE MORATORIUM ALLOWS TIME FOR EVERYONE TO GATHER DATA TO IMPLEMENT PROJECTS BY YOLO COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL TO DETERMINE THE USEFULNESS OF THOSE PROJECTS, TO UNDERSTAND THE CONDITIONS OF SCARCITY AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IN TIMES OF SCARCITY, AND TO CREATE ALLOCATIONS WITH CLEAR UNDERSTANDING FOR FUTURE LANDOWNERS AND LANDOWNERS THERE.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE COUNTY CONTINUES ON THE TRAJECTORY THEY'RE ON.

WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE AND THE THOUGHTFULNESS IN THE RULES THAT ARE BEING CREATED ALREADY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS LAUREN AYERS. NEXT YEAR'S PROJECTED BUDGET FOR YOLO COUNTY IS JUST OVER $700 MILLION. THE LARGEST ITEM IS HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, WHICH COMPRISES 35% OF THE TOTAL BUDGET, OR $250 MILLION. NEARLY A 10TH OF THAT 250 MILLION GOES TO COMMUNICARE OLÉ, WHICH OPERATES LOW INCOME CLINICS IN WOODLAND, DAVIS AND WEST SACRAMENTO. ELECTED OFFICIALS LIKE YOU.

FIVE COUNTY SUPERVISORS CLAIM TO AGREE THAT AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.

ISN'T IT COMMON SENSE THAT WHAT WE DO THREE TIMES A DAY BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF HEALTH? INSTEAD, THE COUNTY'S NOTION OF PREVENTION IS FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE A MEDICAL HOME.

ASK YOURSELVES IS MAKING SURE THAT LOW INCOME CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO DRUG.

DRUG PRESCRIPTIONS FOR ALLERGIES, ASTHMA, ADD OBESITY AND DIABETES.

THE SAME THING IS PREVENTING THOSE AILMENTS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE.

DOCTORS AND NURSES GET ALMOST ZERO TRAINING IN NUTRITION.

THAT'S WHY CHRONIC DISEASES ARE MORE PREVALENT TODAY THAN AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY, WITH OVER 40% OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN SCHOOL HAVING AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS.

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO KNOW FROM ANCIENT SKELETONS WHAT AILMENTS CHILDREN HAD IN PREHISTORIC TIMES, BUT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF TOTAL HEALTH IS A CHILD'S RATE OF DENTAL CARIES.

ANTHROPOLOGISTS REPORT THAT ANCIENT PEOPLE LIVING ON TRADITIONAL DIETS HAD UNCROWDED TEETH AND NO CAVITIES.

I'LL BE SENDING YOU THE ELECTRONIC EDITION OF A SHORT BOOK ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DIET AND HEALTH.

IN 126 PAGES, IT DESCRIBES A DIVERSION PROGRAM IN CLEVELAND THAT REPLACED JAIL WITH NUTRITION EDUCATION FOR 5000 PROBATIONERS.

IN THE 12 YEARS OF THIS PROGRAM, NONE WHO STAYED ON THE GOOD DIET WERE ARRESTED FOR ANY NEW CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

COMPARE THAT TO A 65% RATE OF RE-ARREST FOR PROBATIONERS WHO DID NOT CHOOSE THE NUTRITION PATH.

THE BOOK IS FOOD AND CALLED FOOD AND BEHAVIOR, WRITTEN BY A CHIEF PROBATION OFFICER, BARBARA REED, WHO CREATED THE PROGRAM TO FIND OUT MORE. ANYBODY WATCHING THIS CAN SIMPLY SEARCH ONLINE USING THESE THREE WORDS SUBSTACK.

LAUREN EYRES. AND THEY CAN READ THE WHOLE BOOK.

AND I HAVE SOME FOR YOU LATER. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS PATRICIA MARCHAND.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, PATRICIA MARCHAND.

I'M THE PRESIDENT OF CONSERVATIVE SOLUTIONS, A SOCIAL IMPACT CONSULTANCY THAT TAKES ON PRO BONO PROJECTS, WHICH CURRENTLY INCLUDES ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY IN THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT. THREE YEAR PLAN COULD NOT STAY FOR THE REGULAR AGENDA ITEM ON APPROVING THE PLAN, SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU DURING THE REGULAR PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. I DID REVIEW THE POWERPOINT AND STAFF REPORT, SO I AM HERE TO SUPPORT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO CONDUCT ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OUTREACH ON THE HOUSING INTERVENTION FUNDS, AND TO RELEASE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS THIS FALL.

I REALLY WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THAT ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP STAFF EXPEDITE THE EXPENDITURE OF THESE FUNDS IS GOING TO BENEFIT THE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM THOSE EXPENDITURES.

THAT INCLUDES WILL, NORMA, TERESA AND ALL THE OTHER WONDERFUL RESIDENTS OVER 100 WHO BENEFIT FROM YOLO COUNTY HOUSING.

I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND TO THE TONY AND TO MONICA, AND ALSO TO THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD FOR INCREASING YOUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS ON THE THREE YEAR PLAN.

AND THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD IN PARTICULAR, HAS NOT ONLY BEEN DOING SITE VISITS OF HOUSING IN YOLO COUNTY AND ACTUALLY WRITING UP THE ASSESSMENTS THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED. IT'S A REAL LABOR OF LOVE, BUT THEY'VE ALSO ESTABLISHED AN AD HOC COMMITTEE TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE FULL LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD AND TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. I REALLY APPLAUD THE EXTRA EFFORT AND THE ENGAGEMENT OF YOUR APPOINTEES.

I ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE WILL CONTINUE AS A COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THE COUNTY'S EFFORTS.

WE'VE RAISED $110,000 TO SUPPORT ADDITIONAL HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS,

[00:15:01]

AND WE WILL BE HAVING AN EVENT THIS FALL TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS.

SO WE WON'T GIVE UP UNTIL EVERYONE'S GOT A WONDERFUL, COMFORTABLE, SAFE PLACE TO LIVE IN YOLO COUNTY.

SO AGAIN, THANK YOU, AND I SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION FOR ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OUTREACH ON THE HOUSING INTERVENTION FUNDS AND THE RELEASE OF AN RFP NO LATER THAN FALL 2026. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS MARILYN MOYLE.

HI, MY NAME IS MARILYN MOYLE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS.

AND WELCOME THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME. I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF YOLO COUNTY IN DAVIS SINCE 1972.

MY DAUGHTER, PATRICIA MARCHAND, WAS BORN IN SEPTEMBER OF 1972, AND IN 1975, MY YOUNGER SISTER, KAREN ARNESON, CAME TO LIVE NEAR US FROM ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS, WHERE I GREW UP.

SHE HAD BEEN RECEIVING MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT WHILE IN COLLEGE, BUT SUCCESSFULLY GRADUATED WITH A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE AND THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE A HOME NEAR US. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN IN OCTOBER OF 1975, AND AT THAT TIME, I DON'T THINK THERE'S VERY MANY PEOPLE HERE WHO CAN REMEMBER WHAT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES WERE LIKE IN 1975 IN YOLO COUNTY, THERE WAS THREE B NORTH WHERE SHE STAYED FOR A MONTH, AND AFTER THAT THERE WAS A HALFWAY HOUSE CALLED SAHARA HOUSE, WHICH SHE REFUSED TO GO TO. SHE REFUSED TO BE COOPERATIVE WITH ANY CARE HERE, SO I HAD TO SEND HER BACK TO ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS, WHICH HAD A REAL MENTAL HEALTH HOSPITAL AND LOTS OF SERVICES WHICH DID NOT EXIST HERE.

IN 1994, MY SON NOAH BECAME ILL WHEN HE WAS A STUDENT AT LEWIS AND CLARK COLLEGE.

LUCKILY, HE CAME HOME TO DAVIS AND LIVED WITH US, AND WE WERE ABLE TO ACCESS HELP FROM NAMI, YOLO COUNTY FROM ALL THE SERVICES AND SUPPORT THAT NAMI YOLO PROVIDED.

AT THAT TIME. WE WERE. I WAS PART OF THE FIRST FAMILY TO FAMILY CLASS.

ALL OF THIS WAS CREATED BY PAT WILLIAMS AND HER FRIENDS WHO HAD LOST SONS TO SUICIDE.

MY SON EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GO TO PINE TREE GARDENS, WHERE HE LIVED AND WAS SUPPORTED AND TRAINED FOR 12 YEARS BEFORE HE MOVED TO HIS APARTMENT AT CESAR CHAVEZ PLAZA IN ON OLIVE DRIVE IN DAVIS.

HE NEVER HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED WHILE HE WAS THERE.

HE WASN'T. AND THOSE SERVICES SAVED THIS COUNTY A LOT OF MONEY.

THAT'S MY MAIN POINT. AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE CONTINUUM OF CARE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS KAREN WARBURTON.

GOOD MORNING, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

I AM HERE TODAY TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU. MY NAME IS KAREN WARBURTON.

I AM THE AREA DIRECTOR FOR UC COOPERATIVE EXTENSION CAPITAL CORRIDOR, WHICH SERVES SACRAMENTO, SOLANO AND YOLO COUNTIES, AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO KNOW EACH OF YOU A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR OUR PROGRAMS. IN THE COMING WEEKS. I PLAN TO GET ON A FUTURE AGENDA TO PROVIDE AN UPDATED UPDATES TO YOU FOR OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE OFFER SO YOU CAN STAY INFORMED ABOUT HOW WE ARE SERVING THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL AND HOW YOU AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE RECEIVING A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. SO PLEASE LOOK FOR ME TO SHOW UP AND PROVIDE YOU WITH AN IN DEPTH PRESENTATION.

AND MEANWHILE, I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU OF SOME EVENTS COMING UP AND INVITE YOU ALL TO COME ON THIS COMING FRIDAY, JUNE 26TH. THE MASTER FOOD PRESERVERS WILL BE PUTTING ON THE GREAT YOLO JAM SESSION, WHICH IS A CLASS AT THE FAIRGROUNDS TO HELP ASPIRING RIBBON WINNERS IN MAKING SUBMISSIONS TO THE COUNTY FAIR.

IT'S A FREE EVENT AND IT'S LIMITED TO 25 PARTICIPANTS.

SO MAKE SURE YOU SIGN UP ON AUGUST 8TH. YOU CAN FIND BOTH THE MASTER GARDENERS AND THE MASTER FOOD PRESERVERS PRESENT AT THE YOLO TOMATO FESTIVAL.

PLEASE LOOK FOR THEIR TABLE THERE AND INFORMATION AND ALSO AT THE STATE FAIR.

[00:20:05]

THAT'S COMING UP VERY SOON. BUT ON SATURDAY, JULY 18TH IS CONSIDERED AG DAY.

THEY'VE LABELED THAT AG DAY. PLEASE BE SURE TO FIND US.

WE WILL HAVE MASTER GARDENERS WITH A TABLE THERE.

MASTER FOOD PRESERVERS WILL BE CONDUCTING DEMONSTRATIONS, AND MANY OF OUR OTHER PROGRAMS WILL BE REPRESENTED AT TABLES IN THE LIVESTOCK PAVILION.

AND FINALLY, I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DIDN'T MENTION THE UPCOMING YOLO COUNTY FAIR.

WE WILL ALSO BE PRESENT THERE. YOU CAN SEE OUR FOUR-H PARTICIPANTS COMPETING WITH.

PLEASE WRAP IT UP. YOUR TIME IS UP. WITH THEIR PROJECTS AND PARTICIPATION IN THE LIVESTOCK AUCTION AND MASTER FOOD PRESERVERS AND GARDENERS WILL ALSO BE THERE AS WELL.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TO YOU TODAY.

THANK YOU. OUR LAST SPEAKER IS SUSAN PELIKAN.

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. PLEASE SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE SO WE CAN.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? PERFECT. THANK YOU. ANY.

SUPERVISORS. STAFF. FELLOW CITIZENS. GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS SUSAN PELICAN. I HAVE LIVED IN YOLO COUNTY FOR 55 YEARS ON AN ORGANIC FARM WEST OF WOODLAND, A PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF MY FAMILY OR MY HUSBAND'S FAMILY FOR NOW, SIX GENERATIONS.

IN THAT TIME, I'VE SEEN MANY CHANGES. FEWER BUGS, BEES AND BIRDS, MORE TREE PERENNIAL CROPS, AND FEWER TRADITIONAL CROPS REQUIRING IRRIGATION ONLY IN THE SUMMER OR ONCE OR TWICE IN SOME INSTANCES, OR NONE. MY CONCERN TODAY IS THE ADDITION OF MANY TREE CROPS, WHERE ONCE THE LAND WAS BARREN OR HAD WHEAT OR SAFFLOWER OR OTHER SEASONAL CROPS, AND IN PARTICULAR THE PURCHASE OF COUNTY LAND AND THE SINKING OF WELLS, NOT TO 60FT, WHICH IS WHAT OUR HOUSE WELL IS, OR 160FT, WHICH IS OUR AG WELL, BUT 1600FT A WHOLE DIFFERENT KIND OF. WELL, THE COUNTY HAS FOUND SEVERAL FOCUS AREAS WHICH HAVE THE HOUSE WELLS GOING DRY AND SOIL SUBSIDENCE DURING THE LATEST DROUGHT. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT THESE FOCUS AREAS ARE THE CANARY IN THE CAGE.

THE WHOLE WATERSHED IS UNDERGOING A GROUNDWATER DEFICIT.

AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND NOT JUST WHY, BUT TO WHAT EXTENT AND WHERE.

IF WE ARE TO FASHION A NEW, WELL PERMITTING ORDINANCE THAT WILL ENSURE A MORE SUSTAINABLE WATER FUTURE FOR THE YOLO FOCUS AREAS AND FOR THE COUNTY AS A WHOLE? I RAN FOR SUPERVISOR 25 YEARS AGO AND I KEEP YOLO COUNTY AG.

PLATFORM, SLATE. AND IN THAT REGARD, WE NOT JUST.

GROWERS ARE ALL STAKEHOLDERS. IF WE VALUE THE RURAL AREAS AND THE CROPS WE GROW, WE AS CITIZENS NEED TO BE LED INTO THE PROCESS OF FAIR WATER ALLOCATION. LARGE CORPORATIONS, WHETHER THEY'RE LOCAL OR INTERNATIONAL, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO MINE OUR PUBLIC RESOURCES, INCLUDING OUR WATER, UNLESS SUSTAINABLE CONDITIONS ARE DEFINED AND MET. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL CARDS, CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WE'LL THEN MOVE TO APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS SIX THROUGH 41.

[ CONSENT AGENDA]

I BELIEVE WE HAVE. YEAH. GO AHEAD. YES, CHAIR.

THANK YOU. I WOULD HAVE TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM ITEM NUMBER 24.

IT'S INVOLVING A CONTRACT INVOLVING RISE INCORPORATED AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH COUNTY COUNSEL I BELIEVE IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO AVOID PARTICIPATING IN THAT VOTE BECAUSE MY WIFE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THAT ORGANIZATION, SO I'M RECUSING MYSELF ON THAT ITEM.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS TO BE PULLED FOR COMMENT OR DISCUSSION? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? OKAY. MY APOLOGIES. GO AHEAD. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M DOUBLE CHECKING.

SO SO I JUST LEARNED THAT A FAMILY MEMBER MIGHT BE WORKING FOR FOURTH AND HOPE.

AND SO I WANT TO, AT AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, I WANT TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM ITEM 32.

AND THAT'S WHERE OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THEM.

[00:25:03]

AND SO I DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT DISCUSSION. AND THEN ITEM 20 IS AN ITEM THAT I WANTED TO JUST SURFACE FOR CLARIFICATION. SO SO THIS IS A REQUEST TO.

SELL THE PROPERTY ON MEADOWLARK CIRCLE IN WEST SACRAMENTO.

THIS IS A FACILITY THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THREE LOCATIONS, ONE IN WEST SAC, ONE IN WINTERS AND ONE OR EXCUSE ME, ONE IN WEST SAC, DAVIS AND WOODLAND. THE WEST SAC FACILITY HAS NOT REALLY WORKED OUT.

SO THE INTENT IS TO SELL THE PROPERTY AND THEN TRYING TO FIND A LOCATION THAT IS MORE SUITABLE FOR THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS THAT WERE DESCRIBED IN PUBLIC COMMENT THIS MORNING. SO MY HOPE IS THAT WE COULD CLARIFY THAT THE RECOMMENDATION BY THE, THE CCI COMMITTEE WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDS REMAIN THERE IN WEST SACRAMENTO, NOT GET PUT BACK INTO THE GENERAL FUND SO THAT WE HAVE AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. SO MY REQUEST TO THE CEO. CAN WE MAKE THAT MINOR MODIFICATION? OR MAYBE COUNTY COUNCIL? CAN WE MAKE THAT MINOR MODIFICATION? THAT'S A RECOMMENDATION BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE.

THE BOARD CAN DO WHAT IT WANTS, OBVIOUSLY, BUT THAT DID NOT MAKE IT TO THE STAFF REPORT.

WHEN I READ IT, I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THERE. AND SO THAT WAS THE INTENT.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL SORT OF IMPETUS FOR THE DISCUSSION OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.

SO IS THAT CAN I MAKE THAT AS A MINOR MODIFICATION, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S GOING TO GO TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD BUDGET, BUT I WANT TO SCORE IT AS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE? YES, THAT'S CORRECT. AND I WILL INVITE THE AUTHOR OF THE REPORT, RYAN, TO COME UP JUST TO VERIFY THAT THAT IS CONSISTENT.

WHAT YOU JUST CITED IS CONSISTENT WITH THE STAFF LEVEL CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD, AS WELL AS DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE CCI OR COMMITTEE ON CAPITAL INVESTMENTS. RYAN CAN CONFIRM THAT THAT'S THE CASE FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE AS WELL.

GOOD MORNING. RYAN, DIRECTOR OF GENERAL SERVICES.

SO THE. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE THEN PRIOR HSC DIRECTOR.

THERE WAS A HISTORY WITH THIS PROPERTY WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED.

AT THAT TIME, THE COUNTY ALLOCATED THEN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT FUND BY GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS FOR USE FOR PROJECTS IN THOSE REGIONS IN THE WEST REGION. IT WAS USED TO PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY AND TO FUND THAT IN THE BOARD SUBCOMMITTEE FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENTS.

IT WAS DISCUSSED ABOUT TAKING THE PROCEEDS, PUTTING THAT BACK INTO MHSA.

THIS BEING TWO YEARS AGO, IT'S NOW BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT.

SO THERE THE ACTION DOES TALK ABOUT PUTTING IT INTO THE BE IT I WHO IS THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CHIEF OF FINANCE. AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO AT THAT POINT.

UNDER THE NEW LAW, YOU CAN BETTER SPEAK TO THE NEW LAW THAN WHAT I REMEMBER THE LAW BEING.

IN. GOOD MORNING. CHAIR ALLEN, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS YOU GUYS ARE AWARE YOU KNOW, A CHANGE FROM MH TO HSA.

THIS IS A TRANSITION YEAR STARTING JULY 1ST. OBVIOUSLY, THE RULES HAVE CHANGED IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SPEND THE DOLLARS.

BEING THAT THESE ARE OLDER MH FUNDS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY TALK TO THE STATE IN TERMS OF HOW TO CATEGORIZE THIS IN TERMS OF A FUND BALANCE AND THEN HOW TO PRESENT IT BACK TO THE BOARD IN TERMS OF HOW TO SPEND THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALE TO BENEFIT, YOU KNOW, WEST SACRAMENTO OR ANY OTHER COMPONENT OF THE PLAN.

SO THE BOARD DESIRES. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME HOMEWORK AND BRING IT BACK TO YOU.

SOUNDS GOOD. IS THERE ANY REASON WE CAN'T AMEND PARAGRAPH FOUR OF THE PURCHASE RESOLUTION TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE EXPRESSING THE CCI'S GOAL OF USING THE FUNDS WITHIN THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO, IF LEGALLY FEASIBLE? I THINK WE CAN EXPRESS THAT AS A GOAL.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT CONTENT OF THE CCI RECOMMENDATION, BUT WOULD THAT BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I THINK THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT WAS AROUND HOW THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION GEOGRAPHICALLY WAS INTENDED WHEN WE WERE APPLYING FOR THESE STATE GRANTS.

AND SO I JUST WONDERED, DID NOT I DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THAT AS WE KIND OF MOVE INTO OUR NEXT THE NEXT ITERATION OF HOW WE SPEND THE FUNDS. BUT THAT'S FINE. I DON'T WANT TO DRAG IT INTO ANY MORE TIME. I THINK WE CAN JUST TUCK THAT INTO PARAGRAPH FOUR OF THE PURCHASE RESOLUTION.

RIGHT AFTER THE REFERENCE TO THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, IT ANTICIPATES THERE WILL BE FUTURE BOARD ACTION TO APPROPRIATE THE FUNDS.

AND RIGHT BEFORE THAT, WE CAN INDICATE WITH THE GOAL OF USING THE FUNDING IN WEST SACRAMENTO, IF LEGALLY FEASIBLE. PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND WITH THAT, MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE THAT WE ADOPT THE CONSENT ITEMS GIVEN THE RECUSALS.

OKAY, SO THAT WE HAVE TWO RECUSALS THIS ITEM 24 WE'RE RECUSING BARAJAS ITEM 32.

VILLEGAS AND THEN A SLIGHT MODIFICATION TO I.

20 WITH THERE'S A MOTION BY VILLEGAS IS THERE A SECOND? OKAY. SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR FRERICHS. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

[00:30:04]

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OKAY. THANK YOU. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THAT THEN MOVES US TO INTRODUCTIONS. AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE ONE.

[ Introductions & Honorary Resolutions]

MIKE. I DON'T HAVE ONE ON MY ON MY LIST, BUT MAYBE THAT'S INCORRECT.

SO WE DO HAVE ONE COMING UP AT THE AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.

THE NEXT MEETING. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. WELL, APPARENTLY SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS HAS AN INTRODUCTION.

OKAY. VERY GOOD. DO YOU WANT A PIN? YEAH. LET ME JUST DO THAT REAL QUICK.

JUST REAL QUICK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I KNOW WE TAKE A MOMENT TO INTRODUCE ALL OF OUR NEW EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING OUR STUDENTS. AND SO I WANTED TO INTRODUCE ANAHI ENRIQUEZ.

SHE'S A STUDENT OF OURS IN OUR OFFICE. SHE ACTUALLY WILL BE ATTENDING CAL BERKELEY IN THE, IN THE FALL. SHE IS A GRADUATE OF THE WASHINGTON MIDDLE COLLEGE IN WEST SACRAMENTO, WHERE SHE EARNED TWO ASSOCIATE ARTS DEGREES WHILE SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. SO WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER WORKING IN OUR OFFICE, AT LEAST FOR THE SUMMER.

SHE SHE'S PART OF THE CITY'S HOME RUN PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERS STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET LIFE, REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE WORKING. SHE'S BEEN DOING IT FOR A FEW YEARS NOW, BUT SHE'S CURRENTLY IN OUR OFFICE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

AND SO WE'RE VERY THANKFUL THAT SHE'S THERE. AND SO IN YOLO COUNTY, WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT TO OFFER, BUT WE DO HAVE THESE AMAZING TRACTOR PENS THAT YOU WILL NOW BE ABLE TO CHERISH WHEN YOU GO OFF TO COLLEGE.

SO UNLESS YOU WANTED TO SAY ANYTHING NOTHING REALLY, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT WAS REALLY NICE TO MEET YOU. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.

GO BEARS. BUT THE LAST PIN. THAT'S ALWAYS THE QUESTION.

BE CAREFUL. OKAY. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR HONORARY RESOLUTIONS.

TODAY WILL BEGIN WITH A RESOLUTION HONORING JOSE RAMIREZ UPON HER RETIREMENT FROM YOLO COUNTY.

AND OUR ACE, JESSE SALINAS, WILL BE DOING THE PRESENTATION.

GOOD. YES. THERE YOU GO. GOOD MORNING. WAIT TILL YOU GET BACK TO THE THE CHAIR THERE.

GOOD MORNING, CHAIR ALLEN. AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, JESSE SALINAS, THE COUNTY ASSESSOR, CLERK, RECORDER AND REGISTER OF VOTERS. SO THIS IS A BIT OF A BITTERSWEET DAY FOR US TODAY BECAUSE WE GET A CHANCE TO HONOR JOSE HERE, WHO HAS BEEN REALLY A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO STAFF.

AND I'LL SHARE WITH YOU FOR ACE. AND WHEN I FIRST CAME INTO THE OFFICE TEN YEARS AGO, I RECALL AND JOSE, YOU MAY REMEMBER IT, SHE SAID, YOU'VE GOT TO COME TO THIS CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH MEETING IN SACRAMENTO.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, SHE SAID, LET'S HAVE LUNCH.

AND SO I TOOK I SAID, OKAY, AND SHE GAVE ME KIND OF A COMPLETE DOWNLOAD OF INFORMATION, KIND OF HER PERSPECTIVE.

AND IT'S JUST, IT WAS REALLY HELPFUL FOR ME TO HEAR KIND OF THAT CLEAN PERSPECTIVE OF FROM HER VIEW, WHAT HAD GONE WELL AND WHERE WERE THERE OPPORTUNITIES.

AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. JOE JOSE, THAT I REMEMBER THAT LUNCH QUITE WELL.

AND SHE HAS REALLY BEEN COMMITTED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

SO WHEN YOU WALK IN TO THE CLERK RECORDER'S OFFICE, WHAT YOU WILL SEE IS HER CUBICLE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE COUNTER, AND SHE'S ALWAYS THERE FIRST TO POP UP AND TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE GETTING OUT OF HER CUBICLE AND SERVING THE PUBLIC.

AND SHE TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THAT. AND I WILL SAY THE OTHER THING I APPRECIATED IS HER ENTHUSIASM.

SHE HAS A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM WHEN SHE'S TALKING TO FOLKS.

AND IT'S IT COMES THROUGH WHEN PEOPLE ARE GREETED AND THEY KNOW SOMEBODY REALLY CARES ABOUT THEM.

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT IN THE CLERK RECORDER'S OFFICE, IT REALLY IS KIND OF THE REALLY CRITICAL POINTS IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, WHETHER IT'S A MARRIAGE THAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH OR A DEATH CERTIFICATE OR A BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

THEY ARE CRITICAL JUNCTURES IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.

AND WHEN THEY ARE GREETED WITH THAT POSITIVITY AND JUST ABILITY TO CARE IN THAT CONTEXT.

SHE DOES SUCH AN AMAZING JOB WITH THAT, AND I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT SHE LOVES TO DO MARRIAGES, AND SHE DOES IT IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH. AND TO GIVE YOU A CONTEXT, YOU KNOW, SHE'S BEEN WITH US FOR 25 YEARS.

SO THAT'S A LONG TIME. SHE'S DONE OVER 1100 MARRIAGES.

THAT'S AN AMAZING NUMBER, RIGHT? 1100 MARRIAGES.

SO AND THAT ENTHUSIASM COMES THROUGH AND, YOU KNOW, THOSE MOST IMPORTANT EXPERIENCES IN PEOPLE'S LIVES SHE'S BEEN A PART OF.

[00:35:05]

AND SHE TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THAT. AND SO WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS IS KIND OF BITTERSWEET FOR OUR OFFICE AS WE TALKED ABOUT, BECAUSE JOSIE'S POSITION IS ONE OF THE POSITIONS WE ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF THE BUDGET CHALLENGES WE HAVE.

AND SO SHE'S MORE THAN JUST AN EMPLOYEE. SHE'S A VALUED MEMBER OF ACE.

AND WE ARE GOING TO MISS HER TREMENDOUSLY. AND JOSIE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR 25 YEARS OF SERVICE AND WE WANT TO WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR NEXT CHAPTER BECAUSE I KNOW IT ISN'T GOING TO END.

IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE. AND SO I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO THANK HER FOR HER 25 YEARS OF SERVICE.

AND I'M JUST GOING TO SAY A FEW WORDS. HERE IS THE.

WHEREAS BECAUSE I CAN SEE THERE'S EVEN CAMERAS HERE FOR HER TODAY.

SO YOU CAN SEE SHE'S SHE'S GOT IT ALL LINED HERE.

SO WITH THAT JOSE STARTED IN 2001 AS AN EXTRA HELP ADMIN CLERK.

SO THAT'S HER JOURNEY. AND FROM THERE SHE WENT ON AND DID VARIOUS POSITIONS AS A SPECIAL CLERK, RECORDER TECHNICIAN AND A SUPPORT SPECIALIST.

AND SHE'S NOW A SUPPORT SPECIALIST TWO AND SHE HAS JUST CONTINUED THROUGH THAT JOURNEY.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S WHEREAS DURING HER 25 YEARS OF THE CLERK RECORDER'S OFFICE, JOSE AGAIN OFFICIATED OVER 100 CIVIL MARRIAGE CEREMONIES, BOTH AS AN OFFICIAL IN HER OFFICIAL CAPACITY FOR THE OFFICE AS AN AND AN OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE.

AGAIN, SHE LOVED DOING MARRIAGE MARRIAGES, WHICH WAS WONDERFUL.

SHE WAS SELFLESS AND SUPPORTIVE TEAM PLAYER WHO ALWAYS WAS WILLING TO LEND A HAND TO HELP THE TEAM.

HER COMMON CATCH PHRASE, WHEN ASKED OR THANKED FOR HER ASSISTANCE, BECAME.

OF COURSE IT'S JOE. SO THAT'S HER WAY OF JUST TELLING PEOPLE THAT'S WHO I AM.

AND THAT REALLY RESONATED. SO AGAIN I JUST WANT TO JUST WRAP UP IN SAYING, WHEN ASKED ABOUT HER FAVORITE JOB, MY NAME AND MY SIGNATURE ARE ON A THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS ACROSS MY 25 YEARS HERE.

EVEN IF AFTER I AM GONE, I'LL ALWAYS BE A PART OF THIS GREAT COUNTY.

AND I THINK THAT CAPTURES JOSIE VERY WELL. NOW, IF I MAY SAY, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE YOLO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HEREBY EXTENDS THEIR CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES TO JOSE RAMIREZ FOR HER 25 YEARS OF DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE AND WISHES HER A LONG AND HEALTHY RETIREMENT. CONGRATULATIONS, JOSE.

THANK YOU. LORD.

THIS IS, AS JESSE SAYS, BITTERSWEET. I DO LOVE WHAT I DO.

WHAT GOT ME ATTRACTED TO THIS JOB WHEN I FIRST APPLIED WAS I WAS TOLD THAT THIS JOB IS NOT AN EASY JOB, BUT WE ARE THE KEEPER OF THE RECORDS. SO THAT REALLY RESONATED TO ME BECAUSE IT MADE ME THINK THAT I WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS COUNTY.

JUST A SIMPLE GIRL COMING FROM KNIGHTS LANDING.

I'VE BEEN LIVING HERE ALL MY LIFE. PRETTY MUCH. I DID LEAVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT CAME BACK AND RAISED MY SON.

HE WAS THE REASON WHY I REALLY NEEDED TO GET THIS JOB GOING AND PERSEVERED BECAUSE OF IT.

I WILL MISS THIS JOB BECAUSE I DO ENJOY WHAT I DO AND MEETING EVERYBODY AND SAYING HI TO EVERYBODY.

PEOPLE WHO PASS ME BY AND SAY HI. I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, BUT I SAY HI.

MY STAFF IN THE CLERK RECORDER'S OFFICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREAT.

I'VE HAD SOME TOUGH TIMES. I'VE HAD SOME TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WITH IT.

THIS IS. THERE YOU GO. THAT IS FOR YOU. WE RECOGNIZE AND CELEBRATE STEPHANIE'S CORMIER'S RETIREMENT.

AFTER 20 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO YOLO COUNTY AND ITS RESIDENTS.

STEPHANIE HAS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN SHAPING YOLO COUNTY'S AGRICULTURAL AND AGRITOURISM ECONOMY AND POLICIES, HELPING GUIDE SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS SUCH AS BERRYESSA BREWING COMPANY, TURKOVICH WINERY, SEKA HILLS, OLIVE MILL PARK WINTERS AND THE MAPLES AND TABOR RANCH EVENT CENTERS.

THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, SHE HAS BEEN A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR PRESERVING AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES WHILE SUPPORTING THOUGHTFUL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE PLANNING.

AS STAFF TO THE YOLO COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION.

SHE'S ALSO PROVIDED TRUSTED GUIDANCE, REPRESENTED THE DEPARTMENT WITH PROFESSIONALISM, AND HELPED NAVIGATE COMPLEX PLANNING ISSUES WITH FAIRNESS AND INTEGRITY.

ONE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSIONERS, WHO COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY, SAID ABOUT STEPHANIE I VERY MUCH APPRECIATED HER COMMITMENT, COMPETENCE AND DEDICATION TO THE COUNTY. OUR COMMISSIONERS TAKE THEIR ROLES VERY SERIOUSLY.

WE COULDN'T SERVE THE COMMUNITY NEARLY AS WELL WITHOUT HER STAFF LEADERSHIP LIKE WHAT STEPHANIE HAS PROVIDED.

I WISH HER WELL IN RETIREMENT. EVEN AS I LAMENT THE LOSS.

SHE IS ALSO WIDELY RESPECTED AS A MENTOR AND A LEADER WHO'S INVESTED IN THE SUCCESS OF PLANNING STAFF AND HELPED DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF PUBLIC SERVANTS. HER DEEP INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, RELIABILITY AND STEADY LEADERSHIP HAVE MADE HER A TRUSTED RESOURCE AND AN ANCHOR FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES AND, FRANKLY, BEYOND THAT, FAR BEYOND THAT, ACROSS THE COUNTY.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THE RESIDENTS OF YOLO COUNTY, WE THANK STEPHANIE FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND WISH HER A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND WELL-DESERVED RETIREMENT. CONGRATULATIONS, STEPHANIE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCAS. THANK YOU. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT HARD FOR ME.

THANK YOU. LOOK AT ALL THOSE GREAT PEOPLE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH ALL THESE YEARS.

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CORNY, BUT THIS HAS BEEN A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR ME, AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE VARIOUS DISTRICTS. AND IT'S. I CAN'T EXPRESS THAT ENOUGH.

IT'S BEEN MY ULTIMATE PLEASURE. FILL YOUR OFFICE.

I, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ONE OF US IN THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES THAT HASN'T BENEFITED FROM YOUR EXEMPLARY WISE COUNSEL AND YOUR TOP NOTCH STAFF. SPECIAL THANKS TO ERIC MAY FOR HIS SERVICE WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

BUT TO THESE AMAZING PEOPLE WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES AND THERE'S OTHERS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK ACROSS DEPARTMENTS.

IT'S. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH, AND I'M SORRY THAT I'M NOT BEING VERY ARTICULATE RIGHT NOW, BUT THESE ARE AMAZING PEOPLE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LONGEVITY IN OUR DEPARTMENT, I PROMISE YOU THE DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT IS THERE.

EVERY DAY WE COME TOGETHER TO WORK AND SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT COME UP CLOSE AND WE'LL SAY A COUPLE THINGS. DO YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. YOU COULD BE UP HERE. DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO.

BECAUSE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH STEPHANIE FOR MANY YEARS, ALL THE YEARS THAT I'VE CERTAINLY BEEN ON THE BOARD. AND I WANTED TO JUST SAY THANK YOU.

[00:45:01]

WHEN YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, SORRY, YOU'RE NOT ARTICULATE. WHAT I DO KNOW IS YOU'VE ALWAYS STARTED FROM A VERY HEARTFELT SPACE.

AND AND I'VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED THAT ON, ON MANY LEVELS.

I THINK THIS ENTIRE COUNTY, THIS COMMUNITY HAS BENEFITED FROM YOUR HEARTFELT ATTEMPT TO TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING ALL THE TIME.

WE'VE ASKED YOU TO DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND FILL IN INTERIM POSITIONS AND THINGS THAT YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT TO DO, BUT YOU SAW THE VALUE OF DOING THEM FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

AND SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT. YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO THAT. BUT THEN I PERSONALLY WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WERE RELEGATED TO ROLES THAT REQUIRED YOU TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY OUT TO CLARKSBURG VERY LATE AT NIGHT FOR, FOR COMMUNITY MEETINGS.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF STREETLIGHTS OUT THERE. AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT YOU'RE YOU, YOU STRUGGLE WITH NIGHT VISION.

AND YOU WERE VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING OUT THERE. AND I REMEMBER WALKING OUT TO THE PARKING LOT ONE TIME WITH YOU, AND YOU WERE VISIBLY SHAKING, WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE RIVER ROADS WITHOUT A LOT OF LIGHTING. AND I THOUGHT, THAT'S COMMITMENT. YOU COMMITTED. YOU WERE YOU WERE COMMITTED TO MAKING THE WORK HAPPEN.

AND I WANTED TO JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE YEARS OF YOUR COMMITMENT, AND WE'RE ALL SO MUCH BETTER FOR IT.

SO THANK YOU. STEPHANIE. YEAH. ANYONE ELSE HAVE I TOO JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AMAZED THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE ISSUE, YOU SEEM TO HAVE THE ANSWER AND THE HISTORY.

SO I HOPE THAT YOU UNHINGED YOUR BRAIN AND AND RELEASED IT OVER THERE TO ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL FOLKS AND SO MUCH LIKE YOU TO TRY TO DEFER IT AWAY FROM YOU.

AND IT'S LIKE, LOOK AT ALL THOSE PEOPLE OVER THERE. I REALLY WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR RETIREMENT, AND MAYBE WE CAN PUT YOU ON A COMMITTEE OR SOMETHING.

CONTINUE TO USE A LITTLE BIT, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

YEAH, YEAH. THANK YOU, STEPHANIE, FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

THE BOARD RELIED ON YOU TO DO THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS.

ALSO, JUST THE LEADERSHIP IN THAT DEPARTMENT USED ALL THEIR ENERGY TO, TO WORK WITH YOU.

BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MY CONSTITUENTS ALSO SAID THAT AND ALSO STAFF AND MANY OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AS WELL. SO I'M PRETTY SURE MAYBE THERE'S A SPOT FOR YOU AS A RETIRED ANNUITANT DOWN THE ROAD, WHO KNOWS? BUT CONGRATULATIONS AND HAVE A GOOD RETIREMENT.

JUST, YOU KNOW, CAN'T, CAN'T LEAVE THIS UNSPOKEN, I.

YOUR INTEGRITY IS JUST SO. YOU EXUDE IT AND. AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE GOOD OF THIS COUNTY.

I HAVE NOT WORKED WITH YOU AS LONG AS AS OTHERS HAVE, BUT BUT I KNOW MY PREDECESSOR HELD YOU IN VERY HIGH REGARD.

AS DO I. AND I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU STRUGGLE TO FIND THE WORDS, BECAUSE THIS IS A HARD TRANSITION TO LEAVE THIS AND THIS EXTRAORDINARY WORK WE GET TO DO. BUT YOU CAN HEAR US RECRUITING YOU TO STICK AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO TO, TO COME BACK FOR SPECIAL THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO LEND YOUR, YOUR YOUR EFFORT AND YOUR INTEGRITY TO.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. AND, YOU KNOW, GO HAVE GOOD BIG ADVENTURES IN RETIREMENT.

THERE YOU ARE.

SORRY. SORRY. I'M.

SORRY.

AND OUR FINAL HONORARY RESOLUTION IS FOR MISS GINA DALEIDEN.

UPON HER RETIREMENT FROM FIRST FIVE YOLO AND SUPERVISOR FRERICHS HAS THE HONOR AS OUR CHAIR OF FIRST FIVE NOW.

HI. HI. ARE YOU. IS THIS. IS IT LESS THAN 7 POUNDS? YES. OKAY. GOOD. EXACTLY. AND WE HAVE A COUPLE OTHER SPECIAL GUESTS WITH US.

WE HAVE VICTORIA ZIMMERLI IS THE NEW INCOMING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FIRST FIVE FOR YOLO.

AND NICOLE ARNOLD, OUR VICE CHAIR. SALLY BROWN.

[00:50:03]

WE HAVE A COMMISSIONERS WITH US THIS MORNING AS WELL.

WE'LL HAVE THE HONOR OF PRESENTING THIS RESOLUTION TO GINA DALEIDEN, THE CEO OF FIRST FIVE YOLO.

SHE HAS NOW SERVED THE COUNTY FOR JUST MORE THAN TWO DECADES, FIRST AS A DEPUTY TO THEN SUPERVISOR HELEN THOMPSON AND ALSO SUPERVISOR JIM PROVENZA, BEFORE ULTIMATELY STEPPING IN AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROLE AT FIRST FIVE YOLO.

BUT SHE HAS ESTABLISHED HERSELF AS A RESPECTED LEADER AND PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGHOUT HER TIME AT YOLO COUNTY.

DURING HER TIME AT FIRST FIVE YOLO, SHE EXPANDED THE ORGANIZATION'S FUNDING BASE, MORE THAN TRIPLING THE AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOUNG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN THE COUNTY THROUGH THE WELCOME BABY ROAD TO RESILIENCE PROGRAM AND OTHER INITIATIVES.

SHE ALSO HELPED TO STRENGTHEN CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, SOCIAL SERVICES AND FAMILIES DURING THE MOST CRITICAL YEARS OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT.

HER LEADERSHIP EXTENDED WELL BEYOND YOLO COUNTY THROUGH HER SERVICE ON THE EXECUTIVE BOARD AND POLICY COMMITTEES OF THE FIRST FIVE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA, WHERE SHE ALSO HELPED SHAPE STATEWIDE POLICIES BENEFITING YOUNG CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

I THINK I SENSE A THEME HERE. HER COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC EDUCATION EXTENDED BEYOND GOVERNANCE AS WELL AS SHE CO-CHAIRED SUCCESSFUL TAX CAMPAIGNS, PARCEL TAX CAMPAIGNS THAT GENERATED NEARLY $20 MILLION CO-CHAIRED, I SHOULD I THINK I SAID THAT RIGHT, CHAIR ALAN. AS SHE CO-CHAIRED SUCCESSFUL PARCEL TAX CAMPAIGNS THAT GENERATED NEARLY $20 MILLION IN LOCAL FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS WHILE SERVING AS A SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE.

THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, HER LEADERSHIP, INTEGRITY, COMPASSION, AND COMMITMENT TO EQUITY HAVE STRENGTHENED ORGANIZATIONS, IMPROVED SYSTEMS OF CARE, AND POSITIVELY IMPACTED COUNTLESS CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ACROSS YOLO COUNTY AND BEYOND.

SHE LEAVES BEHIND A LEGACY OF COLLABORATION, INNOVATION, AND SERVICE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO POSITIVELY IMPACT YOLO COUNTY FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. AND I RECOGNIZE SOME OF OUR OTHER GUESTS HERE AS WELL, BUT ALSO JUST WANT TO WISH GINA AND HER HUSBAND, BILL WEISGERBER, A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND WELL-DESERVED RETIREMENT.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR 20 YEARS OF SERVICE TO YOLO COUNTY.

THANK YOU. THANKS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I FEEL LIKE WE DID THIS A LITTLE BIT A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN I WAS HERE FOR MY ANNUAL REPORT.

BUT THANK YOU FOR THE RECOGNITION AGAIN AND FOR THE BEAUTIFUL RESOLUTION.

YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOLO COUNTY AND IT'S A REALLY BIG WIDE WORLD OUT THERE.

SO I AM SAD TO LEAVE IN SOME WAYS AND SUPER EXCITED FOR THE NEXT PART OF OF OUR LIFE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND. OH, THERE HE IS. YEAH, MY, MY CHIEF IS WATCHING ME GRADUATE HERE.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK THAT I HAVE HELD THE TWO BEST JOBS IN YOLO COUNTY.

I COULD DEFINITELY ARGUE THE CASE FOR BOTH OF THOSE.

SO I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE AS DEPUTY SUPERVISOR TO TWO OF THE GREATS AND WORKED BOY FOR, WITH AND AROUND SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE PEOPLE FROM SEVERAL YEARS AGO TO NOW.

AND NONE OF THE, NONE OF THE WORDS, NONE OF THE ACTIONS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT A FULL TEAM, AND THAT INCLUDES MY INCREDIBLE TEAM AT FIRST FIVE YOLO AND MY COMMISSIONERS WHO ARE SORT OF IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A LOT OF FUN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD, DIDN'T WE, SHEILA? EXCEPT WHEN THINGS WERE REALLY HARD. SO YEAH, SO THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING IN, IN MY HOME COUNTY AND MY HOME DISTRICT FOR PART OF THE TIME.

AND I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE VERY CHALLENGING YEARS AHEAD.

AND IN A VERY FIRST FIVEE WAY, I WOULD LIKE TO PARAPHRASE ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOKS, WHICH IS THE LORAX BY DOCTOR SEUSS. AND MY FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK REALLY ARE THE MOST POIGNANT PART IS WHEN THE LORAX SAYS, IF SOMEONE LIKE YOU DOES NOT CARE A WHOLE LOT, NOTHING WILL GET BETTER.

IT WILL NOT. AND THAT'S THAT'S A PARAPHRASE. SORRY.

DOCTOR SEUSS WAS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. I'VE TRIED TO KEEP THAT IN THE FOREFRONT OF MY MIND.

I THINK IT'S WHAT BRINGS THE PASSION. I HOPE THAT YOU ALL KEEP THE PASSION GOING IN A TIME THAT'S DIFFICULT, AND THAT YOU PUT PREVENTION AND UPSTREAM INVESTMENTS AT THE FOREFRONT TO HELP YOU DOWNSTREAM.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR THE ACCESS.

WHEN YOU OPENED YOUR DOOR TO ME, YOU OPENED THE DOOR TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN YOLO COUNTY.

AND I HOPE WE'VE MADE EVERYTHING BETTER FOR IT.

THANK YOU. AND LUCAS, YOU CAN GO BACK TO NOW A NORMAL EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP AT FIRST FIVE.

THANK YOU KID. YEAH. THANKS, BRIAN. THANKS.

[00:55:07]

GINA, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? COME BACK. WE'D LIKE TO SAY SOME WORDS TO YOU, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A PICTURE.

SO JUST HANG OUT THERE FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE SOME WORDS ARE GOING TO COME YOUR WAY. I'M TRYING TO GET YOU ON TO YOUR NEXT THING.

WELL, NO, I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE GOOD ABOUT MOVING AGENDAS ALONG, BUT WE'RE HOLDING HERE FOR ONE MOMENT.

MARY HAS SOMETHING SHE'D LIKE TO SAY. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR 20 YEARS OF SERVICE HERE IN THE COUNTY.

I'VE KNOWN YOU BEST IN YOUR ROLE AS THE LEADER OF FIRST FIVE, AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S UNPARALLELED.

YOUR WORK THERE HAS BEEN SO IMPORTANT AND SO SHARP AND SO ILLUMINATING FOR THIS COUNTY.

AND I JUST HAVE DEEP RESPECT FOR THE WORK YOU'VE DONE WITHIN THAT ORGANIZATION ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.

AND THANK YOU, MARY. CAN I JUST THANK YOU FOR THE INCREDIBLE DOSE OF GRACE THAT YOU'VE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN YOUR TIME HERE.

AND AND GARY, BEFORE YOU, THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND I WOULD ECHO WHAT WHAT WAS JUST SAID. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR WORK, YOUR COMMITMENT.

I THINK DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC, WHEN WE WERE REALLY STRUGGLING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT KIND OF HOW DO WE RIGHTSIZE OUR EFFORTS TO THOSE THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE? YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, YOU YOU REALLY CAME THROUGH WITH SOME OF YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS AROUND HOW WE MANAGE OUR FINANCES AND HOW DO WE GET TO THOSE THAT ARE LESS FORTUNATE, THAT ARE NEVER GOING TO BE AT THE TABLE? AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU THAT THAT CAME THROUGH IN A BIG WAY FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR THE RESPONSIVENESS. OSCAR. IT'S HARD TO KEEP THAT UP AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, ISN'T IT? BUT YOU DO IT. THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.

NOTICED? YEAH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT NEED IT THE MOST, I WOULD SAY. BUT YOUR TYPE OF LEADERSHIP IS PHENOMENAL.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE THE LENS OF AN ELECTED OFFICIAL BECAUSE YOU WERE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

YOU UNDERSTAND HOW POLICY WORKS, HAVE HOW TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH US.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. YOU COME BACK. YOU RESPOND QUICKLY.

YOU PROMPT. YOU MAKE A CASE AS TO HOW THE FUNDING IS GOING TO NOT JUST MOMENTARILY HELP SUPPORT FAMILIES AND YOUNG YOUTH, BUT GENERATIONALLY AND THAT VISION AND ALLOWING US TO UNDERSTAND THE PLAN, TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE FUNDING IS GOING TO GO, WHY IT'S NEEDED, REALLY LOOKING AT CERTAIN POPULATIONS IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTY, THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LIKE YOU POSSESS THAT A LOT OF FOLKS DON'T REALLY HAVE.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T HAVE, AND WE'RE GOING TO MISS THAT. WE'RE GOING TO MISS THAT EXPERTISE.

WE KNOW THE REPLACEMENT IS GREAT. VICTORIA. SHE HAS A LOT OF GREAT STRENGTHS AS WELL.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE TO WORK WITH HER AND COLLABORATE. BUT JUST, JUST YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR INPUT AND YOUR DEDICATION TO THIS COMMUNITY.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GOING TO BE A LOSS, BUT WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE FOR SOMEBODY, MAYBE THE FUTURE TAX MEASURES THAT MIGHT BE ON THE BALLOT OR OTHER NEEDS THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO TO DON'T WALK AWAY.

WE NEED YOU NOW. AND SO, SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN A DIFFERENT CAPACITY.

SO I APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION THAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO PUT INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPENNESS AND THE WILLINGNESS TO, TO LEARN ABOUT ALL THE ISSUES THAT I KEEP PUSHING IN YOUR YOUR FRONT DOOR.

THANK YOU GINA. I'M GOING TO SAVE THE INSIDE THINGS FOR FOR YOUR RETIREMENT PARTY.

SO WE WON'T BE DOING THAT THAT IN PUBLIC, BUT JUST THANK YOU SHEILA.

YEAH. JEAN AND I GO WAY BACK. SHE SHE MENTIONED THAT WE.

WE GAVE OURSELVES AN EXTRA YEAR BECAUSE WE WERE DOING SO GREAT, RIGHT? THAT'S WHY HOW IT HAPPENED. WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS ACTUALLY A LOT OF FUN AND DIFFICULT. WE WERE THERE DURING THE GREAT RECESSION, BUT WE WORKED OUR WAY THROUGH IT.

AND BOY, WE'RE, WE ARE AN AMAZING CAMPAIGN TEAM.

SO MAYBE WE'LL GET YOU ON BOARD FOR, FOR FUTURE THINGS THERE.

ONE THING THAT ALWAYS CRACKED ME UP WAS THAT WHEN WE WERE ON SCHOOL BOARD TOGETHER, PEOPLE WOULD ALWAYS CONFUSE US.

THEY'RE LIKE, BECAUSE LIKE, LOOK AT US, WE'RE PRACTICALLY TWINS.

AND, AND I ALWAYS SAY I'M THE NATURAL BLOND PEOPLE.

SHE DYED HER HAIR A LITTLE MORE IN THAT TIME AND YOU'RE LIKE, SHEILA, GINA, WHATEVER. YEAH.

THEY BOTH END IN A I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. AND WHEN JIM DECIDED TO.

WELL, AND THEN WE WORKED TOGETHER IN JIM'S OFFICE BECAUSE I WAS WORKING WITH JIM AT THE SAME TIME. SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

AND WHEN JIM DECIDED THAT YOU WERE GOING TO GO TO FIRST FIVE, I'M LIKE, GINA DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT KIDS, BUT OF COURSE SHE HAD SOME KIDS HERSELF. BUT YEAH, BUT I HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY DAZZLED AT YOUR JUMPING IN.

[01:00:09]

AND I MEAN, YOU HAVE BEEN THE QUEEN OF SYSTEMS. LIKE, YOU KNOW HOW SYSTEMS WORK. YOU KNOW WHO TO TALK TO, WHEN TO TALK TO THEM, WHEN TO PUSH, WHEN TO BACK OFF A LITTLE BIT. YOU CAN REALLY, TRULY GET THINGS DONE.

AND I HAVE JUST BEEN AMAZED AND THANKFUL THAT YOU'VE BEEN IN THAT POSITION AT FIRST FIVE FOR THIS LAST PART OF YOUR CAREER BECAUSE YOU REALLY, REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN YOLO COUNTY. AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, AND I'M HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO CALL YOU A FRIEND.

AND I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST IN YOUR RETIREMENT.

AND I HAVE A PRESENT FOR YOU BACK HERE TOO. AND I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU UP THERE.

I WAS GOING TO RETIRE A LITTLE EARLIER AND I'M LIKE, I GOT TO WAIT AND SEE IF WHAT SHEILA DOES.

AND TO HARKEN BACK TO OUR GOOD FRIEND JAMES HAMMOND.

YEAH. OH, YEAH. ARE YOU GOING TO BE A PUPPET OR A SHOT CALLER? AND YOU'RE A SHOT CALLER. GOOD JOB SHEILA. OKAY, WELL, LET'S TAKE A PICTURE.

YEAH, LET'S TAKE A PICTURE.

JUST TO BE CLEAR, I'M SHEILA ALLEN, NOT GINA.

FOR ANYONE WHO GOT CONFUSED. OKAY. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. WE WILL MOVE TO THE. LET'S SEE. THAT'S THOSE.

OOPS. I WENT PAST IT. OKAY, ITEM 43. WE ARE FROM OUR PREVIOUS MEETING.

[43. Continued public hearing to consider adoption of an Ordinance approving and authorizing execution of a Development Agreement between the County of Yolo and the Sites Project Authority regarding the Sites Reservoir Project; determine the adoption of the Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). (No general fund impact) (Fieseler/Anderson) (Est. Staff Presentation: 10 min)]

WE ARE CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE BETWEEN YOLO COUNTY AND THE CITES PROJECT AUTHORITY.

THANK YOU, CHAIR ALLEN COUNTY COUNCIL, AS YOU NOTED, THIS IS A CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING FROM THE LAST MEETING RELATING TO A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE CITES PROJECT AUTHORITY.

WE HAD A LONG REPORT AND DISCUSSION LAST TIME.

I WON'T GO BACK THROUGH ALL THAT MATERIAL. AT THE END OF THE LAST DISCUSSION, THE BOARD DIRECTED STAFF TO MEET WITH THE DUNNIGAN GENERAL PLAN CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE, WHICH WE DID A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, ALONG WITH JERRY BROWN FROM THE SITES PROJECT AUTHORITY.

JEFF, ADAM AND I WENT UP TO DUNNIGAN AND HAD NEARLY A TWO HOUR CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMITTEE, A LOT OF INTERACTION BETWEEN THE COMMITTEE AND MR. BROWN ON BEHALF OF THE AUTHORITY, AS WELL AS SOME MORE LIMITED INTERACTION WITH COUNTY STAFF.

WE'VE SUMMARIZED THAT DISCUSSION AND A FEW TAKEAWAYS IN THE STAFF REPORT, THE MAIN ONE BEING THAT IN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS FROM THE FIRE CHIEF, WE'VE AMENDED THE AGREEMENT TO INCLUDE LANGUAGE REQUIRING THE AUTHORITY TO OFFER TO NEGOTIATE AND IMPACT ALLEVIATION AGREEMENT WITH BOTH THE FIRE DISTRICT AND THEN SEPARATELY WITH THE YOLO COUNTY SHERIFF FOR ANY ADDITIONAL IMPACTS ON THEIR SERVICES, TRAINING NEEDS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. DURING THE 1 TO 2 YEAR PERIOD OF PROJECT CONSTRUCTION IN THE DUNNIGAN AREA RELATING TO THE PIPELINE.

SO WITH THAT, I THINK THE COMMITTEE WAS SATISFIED THAT THAT DISCUSSION AROUND THE IMPACT ALLEVIATION AGREEMENT OCCURRED AFTER THE MEETING.

BUT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE DISCUSSION AT THE MEETING, THE COMMISSION SEEMED VERY SATISFIED WITH THE GIVE AND TAKE BETWEEN THE COUNTY COMMISSION AND MR. BROWN. AND I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK THE BOARD TO, AS WE DID LAST TIME RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH REQUIRES APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE, AND THERE'S A RELATED CEQA ACTION AS WELL.

FINDING THAT THE PROJECT AS DEFINED FOR THIS PURPOSE, WHICH IS THE AGREEMENT, IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND THEN THE BOARD HAS THE CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING.

OKAY. I WAS GOING TO ASK IF I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW OR WE GO TO QUESTIONS. DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE? NO, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ANYHOW. SO THEN I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC, REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE ANYONE WHO WISHES TO SPEAK? DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS? NO, CHAIR. I HAVE NO CARDS. OKAY. THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE'LL MOVE TO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.

YES. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF PHIL AND ADAM AND OTHERS THAT PARTICIPATED.

[01:05:02]

JERRY BROWN THAT PARTICIPATED IN THE DISCUSSION WITH THE FIRE CHIEF AND ALSO SOME OTHER RESIDENTS IN DUNNIGAN.

IT JUST SERVED A GOOD PURPOSE. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WENT WELL.

VERY COLLABORATIVE, VERY POSITIVE. SO WHENEVER THE BOARD IS READY, I'LL MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM.

OKAY. IS THERE ANY IS THERE A MOVE BY BARBARA? SECONDED BY VILLEGAS. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? OKAY.

SEEING NONE. THE RECOMMENDED ACTION IS IN OUR POCKET.

IT IS ON B, C AND D ACTIONS AS PRESENTED BY PHIL.

THE CONTINUED LEVY OF CLARKSBURG LIGHTING DISTRICT ASSESSMENT FOR 2627 AND.

OH, HELLO. GOOD MORNING CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

COUNTY SERVICE AREA MANAGER WITH THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE.

THIS PUBLIC HEARING IS REGARDING THE CLARKSBURG LIGHTING DISTRICT ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 627.

A BIT OF BACKGROUND. THE DISTRICT WAS FORMED ON AUGUST 10TH, 1982 BY THE YOLO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

PURSUANT TO THE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHT LIGHTING ACT OF 1972, TO PROVIDE STREETLIGHT SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY OF CLARKSBURG.

ABOUT 20 STREETLIGHTS ARE OPERATED AND MAINTAINED BY P, G, AND E, THE STREETLIGHT SERVICE PROVIDED WITHIN THE DISTRICT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DISTRICT'S PROPERTY OWNERS, IS CURRENTLY FUNDED BY AN ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WITH AN ANNUAL INFLATOR BASED ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, OR CPI, FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA FOR THE MOST RECENT FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY, OR 5%, WHICHEVER IS LOWER.

ON NOVEMBER 2021, AFTER GAINING PROPERTY OWNER BALLOT SUPPORT, THE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT WAS INCREASED FROM $22 TO $35 PER PARCEL TO CONTINUE PROVIDING LIGHTING SERVICES TO CLARKSBURG FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 THROUGH 26.

[01:10:06]

THIS ASSESSMENT RATE WAS $39 PER PARCEL. THE CHANGE IN CPI FROM FEBRUARY 2025 TO FEBRUARY 2026 WAS 2.25%, WHICH ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST WHOLE DOLLAR IS $1.

SO THE MAXIMUM AUTHORIZED ASSESSMENT RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO 27 IS $40.

AS REQUIRED BY THE LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING ACT FOR THE CONTINUED LEVY OF THE ASSESSMENT, THE ENGINEER'S REPORT WAS KINDLY PREPARED BY REGISTERED AND PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS OF YOLO COUNTY'S PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION. THE ENGINEER'S REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD ON MAY 5TH FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL TO PROVIDE NOTICE OF THE BOARD'S INTENTION TO CONTINUE LEVYING THE ASSESSMENT AND TO PROVIDE NOTICE FOR TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING.

A NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED IN THE DAILY DEMOCRAT ON JUNE 12TH, AND THIS PUBLIC HEARING WILL ALLOW ALL INTERESTED PERSONS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DECISION MAKING PROCESS. ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION, APPROVING THE ENGINEER'S REPORT AND ORDERING LEVY OF THE CONTINUED CLARKSBURG LIGHTING DISTRICT ASSESSMENT WILL RESULT IN THE CONTINUATION OF THE ASSESSMENT FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR, AND THESE LEVIES WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR TO BE INCLUDED IN THE 2020 627 PROPERTY TAX BILL.

I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION. ARE THERE ANY BOARD QUESTIONS? NO. THEN WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. DO WE HAVE ANY CARDS? I HAVE NO CARDS, CHAIR. SEEING NONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

IS THERE A MOTION? OKAY. MOVED BY SUPERVISOR.

SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR SANDY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

THANK YOU FOR THAT. NEXT NUMBER 46 IS TO HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2627 MASTER FEE RESOLUTION.

[46. Hold a public hearing, adopt the 2026-27 Master Fee Resolution, and approve changes to the Yolo County Master Fee Schedule for Agriculture, County Counsel, Community Services, General Services, Library, and Sheriff departments. (General fund revenue impact: $318,340) (Haynes/Liddicoet) (Est. Staff Presentation: 10 min)]

AND WE HAVE LAURA LIDDICOAT UP HERE, PLEASE. GOOD MORNING, CHAIR ALLEN.

SUPERVISORS. LAURA LIDDICOAT, CHIEF BUDGET OFFICIAL.

I'M HERE THIS MORNING TO PRESENT THE MASTER FEE REVISION FOR THE 2627 FISCAL YEAR.

THE MASTER FEE RESOLUTION WAS FIRST ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN 1991, AND INCLUDES AN ESTIMATED 1400 FEES PROVIDED BY COUNTY DEPARTMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS, AGENCIES AND OTHER VARIOUS ENTITIES.

THE FEE SCHEDULE PROVIDES FOR A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF COUNTY FEES AND ALLOWS FOR NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO REFLECT CHANGING COSTS AND CHANGING STATE MANDATES.

THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE WAS LAST UPDATED ON DECEMBER 9TH, 2025.

ALL FEES ALIGN WITH THE YOLO COUNTY POLICY ON COST RECOVERY AND FEES, WHICH STATES THAT DEPARTMENT SHALL SEEK TO RECOVER THE FULL COST OF ALL SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. THE PURPOSE OF FULL COST RECOVERY IS TO PRESERVE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS SERVICES AND REDUCE RELIANCE ON THE COUNTY'S GENERAL FUND, WHERE AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE. HISTORICALLY, WHEN INCREASES TO FEES ARE PROPOSED, INCREMENTAL INCREASES ARE FAVORED OVER LARGE INCREASES TO LESSEN THE BURDEN ON THE FEE PAYER. THERE ARE SOME FEES THIS YEAR WHICH HAVE MORE SIZABLE PERCENTAGE INCREASES, WHICH WE WILL BE DISCUSSING MOMENTARILY.

ALL PROPOSED CHANGES MUST BE SUPPORTED BY CALCULATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES.

THIS MORNING'S PROPOSED REVISION TO THE RESOLUTION INCLUDES FEES FROM SIX DEPARTMENTS AGRICULTURE, COMMUNITY SERVICES, COUNTY COUNSEL, GENERAL SERVICES, THE LIBRARY AND THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THERE ARE 69 NEW FEES, PROPOSED, REVISIONS TO 61 FEES AND THE PROPOSED DELETION OF 15 FEES.

WITHIN THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, THE DIVISION OF INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT IS PROPOSING REVISIONS TO SEVERAL CURRENTLY CHARGED FEES IN ORDER TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INCREASING COST OF DOING BUSINESS. INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT HAS RECENTLY PARTNERED WITH THE CARPET CARE STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM TO ATTEMPT TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF CARPET RECYCLED IN THE COUNTY BY BOTH HOMEOWNERS AND CONTRACTORS.

AS SUCH, THE DIVISION IS NOW PROPOSING REDUCTIONS TO FIVE CARPET RECYCLING FEES TO FURTHER ENCOURAGE RECYCLING WITHIN THE COUNTY.

THE DIVISION IS ALSO PROPOSING THREE NEW FEES.

THE FIRST IS FOR OUT OF COUNTY HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE AT $15 A LOAD.

THE CENTRAL LANDFILL IN WOODLAND SEES APPROXIMATELY 50 OUT OF COUNTY RESIDENTS COMING THROUGH THE SITE ANNUALLY WITH HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE.

[01:15:09]

THE FEE IS INTENDED TO RECAPTURE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH NON YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS UTILIZING THIS SERVICE.

THE SECOND NEW FEE PROPOSED TODAY IS A $143 OVERWEIGHT FEE ON LOADS, EXCEEDING THE CALTRANS LIMIT OF $80,000.

EXCUSE ME, 80,000 POUNDS. VERY USED TO TALKING ABOUT MONEY AS OPPOSED TO WEIGHT.

AND UNDER CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE, THE DIVISION IS SEEING AN INCREASE IN LARGER TANKER TRUCKS UTILIZING THE LANDFILL, WHICH IS INCREASING WEAR AND TEAR ON INTERNAL ROADS AND CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS AT THE SITE.

THE FEE IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR IMMEDIATE ROAD REPAIR AND EVENTUALLY FULL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ROAD TO ACCESS THE LANDFILL, ALONG WITH INTERNAL ROADS ON THE SITE. THE FINAL NEW PROPOSED FEE IS A $23 PER 15 MINUTE ADMINISTRATION FEE, INTENDED TO RECOUP STAFF TIME FOR DUPLICATING LANDFILL TICKETS WHEN THOSE ARE LOST BY CONTRACTORS UTILIZING LANDFILL SERVICES.

AT THIS POINT, I'D LIKE TO INVITE ADAM FISTLER FROM COMMUNITY SERVICES TO PROVIDE DETAIL ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE BUILDING DIVISION OF COMMUNITY SERVICES.

THANK YOU. LAURA ADAM FISTLER DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES BUILDING STAFF LED BY THE CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL WITH GUIDANCE FROM DFS, UNDERTOOK A COMPREHENSIVE PHE STUDY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF COST RECOVERY.

THE BUILDING DIVISION HAS FACED RAPIDLY INCREASING COSTS SINCE THE LAST PHE UPDATE, WITH SALARIES AND BENEFITS BEING THE MAIN DRIVER.

MOST EXISTING FEES HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2018, AND THE STUDY INDICATES THAT SUBSTANTIAL ADJUSTMENTS ARE NEEDED TO ALIGN WITH THESE FEES WITH CURRENT SERVICE COSTS. THE MAJORITY OF THE FEES CURRENTLY ADOPTED ARE BASED ON SALARY, BENEFITS, SALARY AND BENEFITS THAT ARE ALMOST A DECADE OLD AND DO NOT INCLUDE APPLICATION OR ISSUANCE FEES, WHICH WERE CHARGED SEPARATELY. IF APPROVED, THESE APPLICATION AND AND OR ISSUANCE FEES WILL BE INCORPORATED WITH THE NEW REVISED FEES.

THE CURRENT FEE SCHEDULE UTILIZES ONE HOURLY RATE FOR BUILDING STAFF, WHICH DOES NOT REPRESENT THE SALARY AND BENEFITS OF ALL JOB CLASSES WITHIN THE DIVISION.

NEW HOURLY RATES WERE CALCULATED FOR SALARIES AND BENEFITS BASED UPON BASED UPON THEIR CURRENT HOURLY OVERHEAD AND HOURLY RATES. SORRY ABOUT THAT. WITH THE BUILDING INDUSTRY SHIFTING SHIFTING AWAY FROM VALUE BASED FEES, THE HOURLY RATES FOR MOST MAINTENANCE BUILDING PERMITS WERE CALCULATED ON THE ACTUAL PROCESSING TIME OF PERMIT OR BY PERMIT TECHS, AND THE NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS BY BUILDING INSPECTORS TO CAPTURE THE FULL COST RECOVERY, INCLUDING THE LARGE AMOUNT OF DRIVE TIME TO COVER THE LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA WE SERVICE, 36 OF THE NEW FEES ARE RELATED TO INDUSTRY WIDE SHIFT AWAY FROM THE VALUATION BASED FEES.

INSTEAD, FEES ARE BEING RESTRUCTURED AROUND OBJECTIVE UNITS OF MEASUREMENT, SUCH AS SQUARE FEET AND CUBIC FEET.

THERE ARE PROS AND CONS OF EACH. TYPE OF FEE CALCULATION WITH VALUATION NOT SUPPORTING COST RECOVERY DUE TO THE FLUCTUATIONS IN APPLICANT SUBMITTED VALUATION AND LACK OF CORRELATION TO ACTUAL STAFF TIME.

AREA BASED FEES ALLOW MORE CUSTOMIZATION, JUST LIKE BUILDING PERMITS, THEY VARY.

IT'S NOT THE SAME HOUSE BEING BUILT EVERY TIME THE JOB VARIES.

AS NOTED, WE ARE RECOMMENDING 60 NEW FEES, WHICH IS A NEGATIVE FOR AREA BASED FEES DUE TO THE VARIOUS COMPLEXITIES OF AN APPLICATION SCOPE.

WE BELIEVE THIS EFFORT IS IN DEVELOPING AND MAINTAINING IS WELL WORTH IT IN THE OVERALL COST RECOVERY.

TO EXPAND ON SPECIFIC FEES DISCUSSED IN THE STAFF REPORT, WE COMPARED OUR BUILDING PERMIT TYPES WITH SOME OF OUR SURROUNDING JURISDICTIONS TO COMPARE COSTS. WITH THAT SAID, WE DID NOT EXPLORE THE AMOUNT OF GENERAL FUND FUNDING USED TO SUPPLEMENT EACH JURISDICTION, NOR DID WE EXPLORE THE LAST TIME THE FEE WAS UPDATED.

THE NEXT SEVERAL SLIDES REPRESENT A SNAPSHOT IN TIME.

ALL OF THE CURRENT FEES SHOWN DID NOT INCLUDE STAFF TIME FOR PROCESSING THE APPLICATION, ISSUING AND ISSUING THE PERMIT.

JUST LIKE MOST OTHER JURISDICTIONS, WE COVER A VERY LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA.

AS NOTED, THE HOURLY RATES PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN IN THESE PROPOSED FEES.

[01:20:05]

THE AIR CONDITIONER. AIR CONDITIONER. REPLACEMENT FEE.

AS YOU CAN TELL, IT'S A. IT'S A LOT HIGHER THAN.

THAN MOST JURISDICTIONS, WITH NAPA AND SACRAMENTO BEING THE CLOSEST TO OUR CURRENT AND PROPOSED FEES.

THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE REPLACEMENT. THAT'S WHEN SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CHANGE OUT THEIR ELECTRICAL BOX.

WE ARE HIGHER THAN MOST THAT WE'VE SURVEYED. RE ROOFS WERE GENERALLY CLOSE TO SOME OF THE FEES BUT WERE STILL HIGHER. WATER HEATERS WE ARE LOWER THAN SOME JURISDICTIONS, BUT WE'RE CLOSE TO NAPA WITH THE PROPOSED FEE.

ROOF MOUNT SOLAR. OOPS. SKIPPED AHEAD. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

ROOF MOUNT SOLAR. WE ARE PROPOSING A DECREASE FROM OUR CURRENT RATE FOR SOLAR FEES.

LESS THAN 15KW OF GENERATION. WATER HEATER REPLACEMENT.

WE ARE GENERALLY HIGHER THAN COMPARED AGENCIES AND VERY SIMILAR TO NAPA COUNTY.

THE PROPOSED FEE INCREASES. MY APOLOGIES. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE PERMITS WERE REEVALUATED TOP TO BOTTOM FROM THE START OF APPLICATION ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FINAL FINAL CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

AS YOU CAN SEE, OUR COSTS ARE A ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THAN COLUSA COUNTY.

AND SOLANO COUNTY IS A LOT HARDER TO COMPARE BECAUSE THEY BASE IT ON THE NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS AND A HOUSE COULD HAVE MULTIPLE MORE OR MANY MORE INSPECTIONS THAN JUST 12. WITH THE INCREASE IN SALARY AND BENEFITS.

SINCE OUR LAST UPDATE IN 2018, WE BELIEVE THE PROPOSED FEE CHANGES ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY FOR COST RECOVERY AND FEES.

WE ARE PROPOSING TO SEEK FULL RECOVERY, FULL COST RECOVERY TO REASONABLY REGULATE OUR LEGAL MANDATES THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF PERMITS TO ASSIST IN THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE COMMUNITY. I'LL NOW TURN IT BACK TO LAURA TO FINISH THE PRESENTATION.

ADDITIONAL FEE UPDATES THIS MORNING, THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING INCREASES TO THREE FEES, ALL OF WHICH ARE INTENDED TO MOVE THE DEPARTMENT AND ITS FEES CLOSER TO FULL COST RECOVERY.

TWO OF THE FEES FARM LABOR CONTRACTOR AND PEST CONTROL OPERATOR REGISTRATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED IN QUITE SOME TIME 32 AND 43 YEARS, RESPECTIVELY, WHICH ASSISTS IN EXPLAINING THE SIZABLE INCREASES THAT YOU'RE SEEING.

COUNTY COUNCIL IS PROPOSING A $30 AN HOUR INCREASE IN THEIR HOURLY FEE.

THIS INCREASE WAS BASED ON A FEE STUDY THAT WAS COMPLETED BY DFS.

UTILIZING CURRENT EXPENSES AND TIME STUDY. DATA COUNSEL'S HOURLY RATE WAS LAST UPDATED FIVE YEARS AGO IN JUNE OF 2021.

THE GENERAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING THE ADDITION OF ONE NEW FEE BALL FIELD RENTAL WITH NO PREPARATION, FOLLOWING REQUESTS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS SEEKING TO RENT BASEBALL FIELDS WITHOUT FIELD PREPARATION SERVICES.

THE PROPOSED FEE OF $40 AN HOUR IS CONSISTENT WITH HOURLY RENTAL RATES FOR NO PREP FIELDS IN NEIGHBORING CITIES SUCH AS WOODLAND AND DAVIS.

THE LIBRARY IS PROPOSING INCREASES TO TWO EXISTING FEES.

THE FIRST IS A DOLLAR INCREASE FOR DIGITAL REPRODUCTION OF HISTORICAL MATERIAL.

THE SECOND IS A DOLLAR INCREASE FOR PRINT REPRODUCTIONS OF HISTORICAL MATERIAL.

THE INCREASES ARE INTENDED TO OFFSET INCREASED STAFF COSTS.

FINALLY, THIS MORNING WE HAVE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WHICH IS PROPOSING INCREASES TO THE FEE FOR REPRODUCTION OF VARIOUS REPORTS FROM 17 TO $28 PER REPORT. THESE FEES HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED SINCE 2000 AND WILL NOW MEET CURRENT FULL COST RECOVERY FOR STAFF TIME SPENT REPRODUCING THE REPORTS. IMPORTANTLY, THE FIRST COPY OF EACH REPORT WILL REMAIN AT NO COST TO DECEDENT'S NEXT OF KIN IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE ANY UNDUE BURDEN ON THAT INDIVIDUAL. A $5 INCREASE IN LIVE SCAN FEES IS ALSO BEING PROPOSED TO ACCOUNT FOR INCREASES IN STAFF COSTS.

THE SHERIFF IS ALSO PROPOSING REVISIONS TO THE CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT RENEWAL APPLICATION PROCESS.

FEE INCREASES FROM 38 TO $68. IN ORDER FOR THAT LIVE SCAN FEE TO NOW BE PART OF THAT APPLICATION RENEWAL FEE.

THAT LIVE SCAN FEE IS REQUIRED FOR THAT RENEWAL.

IN SUMMARY, THIS MORNING, THE PROPOSED CHANGES WILL GENERATE AN ESTIMATED $725,000 ANNUALLY TO VARIOUS COUNTY FUNDS.

[01:25:05]

REPRESENTATIVES FROM EACH DEPARTMENT ARE IN CHAMBERS THIS MORNING, AND WE ARE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD AT THIS POINT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. ARE THERE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? YES. BARAJAS, PLEASE. YES. HI. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

SO I KNOW SOME OF THESE FEES WERE MENTIONED THAT THEY PRETTY HIGH INCREASES.

IF WE CAN GO TO I DON'T KNOW WHAT SLIDE IT IS HERE, BUT I'M LOOKING AT A NEW SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING.

WE'RE LOOKING TO TO INCREASE IT BY ALMOST 1000FT², $1,300.

AND THEN FOR 3000FT², INCREASING IT ALMOST BY $1,100.

AND THE LAST TIME WE'VE OUR CURRENT FEE WAS AS OF WHAT YEAR WAS THAT? 20 1818. THAT'S ALSO VALUATION BASED. NOT AREA BASED.

OKAY. HOW MANY NEW SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS ARE WE LOOKING TO BE IMPACTED? WE ARE PROJECTING TWO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS OF APPROXIMATELY 400FT².

I KNOW THEY VARY FROM THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT I'LL GO DOWN THROUGH SOME OF THE OTHER ONES.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING UP TO FOUR 1200 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THREE 3000 SQUARE FOOT SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS AND ONE 7000 SQUARE FOOT.

AND THESE ARE FOR NEW HOUSING. THESE ARE FOR NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS.

YES. DOES THAT GO TO THE DEVELOPER OR WHO PAYS FOR THAT? THE APPLICANT PAYS FOR THAT. YOU COULD BE A PROPERTY OWNER OR YOU COULD BE A CONTRACTOR OR A DEVELOPER.

OKAY. WERE YOU THINKING OF PHASING THAT IN, OR DO YOU WANT IT ALL UP FRONT TO FOR THESE CHANGES TO OCCUR? WE COULD POTENTIALLY PHASE IT IN AT 50% NOW 50% IN DECEMBER, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT FOR US TO CALCULATE THAT OUT.

SO WHAT WE WOULD PROBABLY DO IS WE WOULD RECOMMEND IF THE BOARD WANTS TO PHASE IN THESE FEES, IS DO THE DIFFERENCE OF WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PROPOSED FEE AND THE CURRENT FEE, AND DO 50% OF THAT AND NOW AND 50% IN DECEMBER.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND WHEN IT SAYS IT'LL GENERATE FUNDING AND IT GOES TO CERTAIN BUCKETS OF FUNDING, ONE OF THEM MENTIONS PUBLIC SAFETY, RIGHT? WHAT PUBLIC SAFETY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THERE? IS IT PROBATION? IS IT? SO THAT WOULD BE RELATED TO THE SHERIFF'S INCREASES FOR REPORTS AND FOR LIVE SCAN FEES.

SO IT WOULD GO ESSENTIALLY TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

IN THIS CASE, IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY IT WOULD BE LARGELY THE SAME AS GENERAL FUND.

IT WOULD BE A SAVINGS TO THE GENERAL FUND. OKAY.

THOSE ARE MY ONLY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, SUPERVISOR. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. SO I'M GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I KNOW WE WE OFTEN HAVE TO UPDATE OUR FEES TO GET TO 100% COST RECOVERY.

I JUST WONDERED AND MAYBE NOT THIS TIME, BUT JUST AS A THOUGHT RATHER THAN SIMPLY ALWAYS SORT OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SHORE UP OUR FEES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM TO GET TO THAT 100% COST RECOVERY.

AND SOMETIMES WE LAG BEHIND. SO WE GOT TO CATCH UP.

MAYBE NEXT TIME WE THINK ABOUT, AND THIS IS PROBABLY MORE FOR ADAM MAYBE THINKING ABOUT IN THE SPACE THAT WE ARE NOW TREADING ON, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, JET REVENUE GENERATION.

A SLIGHT DIFFERENT APPROACH RATHER THAN SIMPLY ALWAYS GETTING TO COST RECOVERY.

BECAUSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT COST RECOVERY, YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET AHEAD.

IN FACT, YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE BEHIND. AND IF ANYTHING, YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO CATCH UP, RIGHT? SO, SO AND THAT'S FINE. THAT MAY BE SUFFICIENT FOR WHAT WE NEED RELATIVE TO THE FEES THAT WE ADMINISTER.

BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IN THE SPACE OF REVENUE GENERATION AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE CREATIVE AROUND OUR APPROACHES, ARE THERE THINGS THAT WE COULD AND THIS IS A STRETCH, BUT ARE THERE THINGS THAT WE COULD INCENTIVIZE BY NOT NECESSARILY INCREASING THE FEE? IN FACT, THE OPPOSITE TO GENERATE MORE REVENUE IN THE SPACE OF WHAT MIGHT COME TO THE COUNTER FOR PERMISSION BY NOT INCREASING THE FEES.

AND THERE MAY BE NOTHING. I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, THROWING THIS OUT THERE. AND THE REASON I THROW IT OUT THERE IS BECAUSE AND I BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A, WE CALL IT A HOME IMPROVEMENT HOLIDAY WHERE THERE WAS A,

[01:30:02]

A, A, A WAIVER OF SORTS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF OVER-THE-COUNTER PERMITS.

AND WHILE THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT TRICKY, BUT THE, THE IDEA WAS TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO DO HOME IMPROVEMENTS FOR RELATIVELY SIMPLE OVER THE COUNTER PERMITS AT $25.

AND NORMALLY THEY'RE GOING TO BE 200 OR $300.

THEY WERE JUST $25. THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT ABSOLUTELY HATED THE IDEA UNTIL WE DID IT.

AND THEY GENERATED SO MUCH REVENUE BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT IN THAT, YOU KNOW, COVER OVER THE GARAGE OR REDO CERTAIN ELECTRICAL THINGS THAT REQUIRE PERMITS THAT WERE MAYBE NOT OVER THE COUNTER, BUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. AND SO IT JUST CREATED THIS SORT OF OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE IMPROVE OUR USE, OUR PERMIT SYSTEM. AND THE COST RECOVERY IS SLIGHTLY BIT DIFFERENTLY.

SO IT GENERATED REVENUE THAT WE DID NOT ANTICIPATE.

SO I JUST I THROW THAT OUT THERE. I DON'T NEED A RESPONSE OR A UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT TO, BUT I JUST EVERY YEAR WE DO THIS AND I THINK ALL WE'RE REALLY DOING IS JUST SHORING UP.

AND WE'RE NOT GETTING AHEAD PER SE. SO I JUST THROW IT OUT AS A SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

THANK YOU. YES. SUPERVISOR BARAJAS. ALONG THOSE LINES, I'M THINKING ACTUALLY WHAT YOU SAID SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS WAS PROCESSING THROUGH MY MIND WAS THE REPLACEMENT FEE ON ON THE THE AC UNIT.

IF WE GO TO THE. SO IT'S SO IT'S INCREASING. AND THIS IMPACTS ALMOST EVERY RESIDENTIAL HOME OR APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT HAS AIR CONDITIONER UNIT. SO WOULD THIS DISCOURAGE ACTUALLY BY INCREASING IT.

WOULD IT DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUAL FOLKS FROM THE RURAL AREA TO WANT TO REPLACE THEIR AIR CONDITIONING.

SO IT DOES THE OPPOSITE EFFECT. BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE AIR CONDITIONING REPLACEMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING.

VERSUS A NEW HOUSING UNIT THAT'S BEING BUILT.

SO THIS HAS A GREATER IMPACT OF RESIDENTS. AND IT'S INCREASING.

IF YOU LOOK AT COMPARED TO COASTAL COUNTIES $86.

LAKE COUNTY 164, NAPA COUNTY 372. I MEAN, WE'RE GOING TO.

558. SO I THINK THAT THAT HAS MORE OF AN IMPACT TO OUR RESIDENTS IN A DISCOURAGES INDIVIDUALS TO REPLACE THEIR AIR CONDITIONING. NOW THEY'RE GETTING CHEAP AIR CONDITIONERS, SWAMP COOLERS, WHATEVER. AND IN THE RURAL AREAS.

SO I DON'T LIKE THAT FEE THAT'S IN FRONT OF US.

SO I'D RATHER HAVE THAT FEE STAY STATUS QUO. I CAN SAY FROM A, JUST FROM A PROCEDURAL STANDPOINT, THE BOARD, YOU DO HAVE THE DISCRETION TO, ON ANY PARTICULAR LINE ITEM OR A WHOLE SUITE OF FEES FOR THAT MATTER.

OF COURSE, AT YOUR DISCRETION, TO HOLD FEES STEADY OR TO APPROVE A MORE MODEST INCREASE IN FEES OR FEATHER IN AN INCREASE OVER TIME, AS ADAM DESCRIBED EARLIER. ONE ONE AVENUE OF DOING THAT, I WILL SAY IS IT IS NOT THAT UNCOMMON FOR JURISDICTIONS TO ARTIFICIALLY, EFFECTIVELY HOLD A PERMIT FEE, CERTAIN TYPES OF PERMIT FEES ARTIFICIALLY LOW IN ORDER TO INCENTIVIZE OR NOT DISINCENTIVIZE CERTAIN TYPES OF PERMIT ACQUISITION ACTIVITY. AND, AND SO FORTH.

AS YOU'RE DESCRIBING. SUPERVISOR THE FLIP SIDE TO THAT EQUATION FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT IS THAT TRANSLATES TO A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO EFFECTIVELY SUBSIDIZE WITH GENERAL FUND THE STAFF TIME AND ENERGY TO STILL PROCESS THOSE BECAUSE THAT STAFF TIME AND ENERGY DOESN'T CHANGE.

BUT IF THE FEE IS LOWER, THEN WE WOULD BE MAKING A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO SUPPLEMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUATION, SO TO SPEAK. AS I SAID, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR JURISDICTIONS TO DO THAT.

SOME OF THE FEES THAT WE SEE, LIKE COLUSA COUNTY, FOR EXAMPLE, I GUARANTEE YOU THEY'RE SUBSIDIZING THAT WITH OTHER FUNDS AND OTHER FUND SOURCES. THERE'S NO WAY THEY'RE GETTING COST RECOVERY. THAT WOULDN'T EVEN COVER ONE INSPECTOR'S TIME TO GO OUT AND DO AN INSPECTION, LET ALONE PROCESS THE PERMIT. SO AS AN EXAMPLE, THE OTHER FEES THAT YOU SEE UP THERE, NAPA, SACRAMENTO FOR EXAMPLE, PROBABLY ARE GETTING CLOSER TO COST RECOVERY.

BUT AS ADAM SAID, WE DIDN'T DO A DEEP DIVE IN TERMS OF WHAT TO WHAT EXTENT, IF ANY, THEY TO MAYBE SUPPLEMENTING OR SUPPLANTING SOME OF THEIR, SOME OF THEIR FEES WITH SOME GENERAL FUND OR OTHER OTHER FUND SOURCES.

BUT JUST TO LAY OUT THE OPTIONS THAT YOU AS A BOARD HAVE, YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE DISCRETION TO SAY, HEY, THERE ARE CERTAIN PERMITS THAT WE WANT TO HOLD, YOU KNOW, AT A AT A A LOWER RATE IN ORDER TO INCENTIVIZE OR NOT DISINCENTIVIZE A CERTAIN ACTIVITY. COULD WE COULD WE REFER THIS TO THE RECOVERY, I MEAN, REVENUE COMMITTEE, THIS ITEM FOR FURTHER

[01:35:05]

DELIBERATION RECOMMENDATION. THE MAJORITY OF THESE FEES FOR THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS ARE INTENDED TO GO INTO EFFECT JULY 1ST.

THE MAJORITY OF THOSE FEES ARE IN. THE ASSUMPTION OF REVENUE IS INCLUDED IN THEIR RECOMMENDED BUDGETS.

SO IF THERE ARE SPECIFIC FEES YOU WOULD LIKE TO TO POOL FROM THE RESOLUTION TODAY FOR FURTHER CONVERSATION.

ABSOLUTELY. WITHIN YOUR PURVIEW. BUT IF THERE ARE FEES THAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH, MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO TO PLEASE MOVE THOSE FEES FORWARD SO THAT THOSE DEPARTMENTS CAN BEGIN RECOUPING THOSE FEES.

IF I, IF I MAY, I WOULD WE STILL HAVEN'T DONE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND WE WERE JUST DOING QUESTIONS, AND I WOULD LIKE US TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT YOUR PROPOSAL. IS IT OKAY WITH THE BOARD IF WE MOVE TO THE OKAY, THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION? OKAY. I'M OPENING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS ITEM.

I HAVE NO CARDS, CHAIR. OKAY, GREAT. OKAY, THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

I JUST I'M GOING TO JUMP IN HERE. I'M RAISING MY HAND.

I'M JUMPING IN. I BELIEVE THAT LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FEES, BUT PERHAPS IT WAS IN THE BUDGET AD HOC.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH PLACE, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT IN GENERAL, YOLO COUNTY COUNTY WAS BEHIND ON OUR FEES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE FEES, THE COST OF THINGS CONTINUES TO RISE AND WE DON'T INCREASE FEES ALL THE TIME.

AND THAT WE HAD A CAP ON A PERCENTAGE THAT WE WOULDN'T ALLOW IT TO BE HIGHER THAN IT IS AT 3% OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THERE WAS SOME NUMBER THAT WE WERE TRYING NOT TO GO ABOVE HISTORICALLY.

MASTER FEE INCREMENTAL INCREASES. WE'VE. THE BOARD HAS HISTORICALLY TRIED NOT TO DO MORE THAN 10% TO EASE THE BURDEN ON THE PAYERS.

YES. RIGHT. YEAH. SO THEREFORE, WE WERE SEEING THAT THEN OVER TIME, THEN YOU DO GET BEHIND.

AND SO BECAUSE OF OUR FISCAL SITUATION THAT I BELIEVE THAT THE WHOLE BOARD.

BUT MAYBE I'M WRONG. YOU'RE ALL STILL HERE WITH ME.

GAVE DIRECTION TO STAFF THAT THE NEXT TIME THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT FEES TO COME BACK TO US WITH FULL COST RECOVERY SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ACTUAL COST IS SO THAT WE CAN CATCH UP INSTEAD OF PERPETUALLY BEING BEHIND, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF OUR PROBLEM WITH OUR GENERAL FUND.

SO THAT WAS MY RECOLLECTION. AND YOU CAN TELL ME THAT I WAS WRONG, OR MAYBE IT WAS MY WISHFUL THINKING, BUT THAT'S WHERE I THOUGHT. AND CLEARLY, YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU NO COMPASSION FOR PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO THEY TOO HAVE, YOU KNOW, TIGHT BUDGETS RIGHT NOW, BUT WE DO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS TO COVER THE COST.

YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE WE CAN HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT GOING ABOVE THE COST, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO GET TO COST.

YES. SUPERVISOR. I JUST WANT TO ECHO THAT. THAT'S MY RECOLLECTION AS WELL.

AND EASIER TO DO IT IN THE ABSTRACT THAN IT IS WHEN WE'RE FACED WITH THE REAL PAIN POINTS THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FEEL.

AND I EVERY DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR BUDGET HAS GOT PAIN POINTS FOR SOMEONE.

YOU KNOW, IN OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR AGENCY. IT'S, THIS IS A PAINFUL BUDGET FOR US.

SO I AND I, I MEAN, I REALLY, I RESPECT OUR COMPASSION AND EMPATHY FOR WHERE THAT PAIN IS FELT.

I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT THING FOR A BOARD TO HAVE.

BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE'VE GOT A $35 MILLION HOLE WE'RE TRYING TO FILL AND WE'VE GOT, AS YOU'VE INDICATED, LAURA, WE'VE GOT BUDGET, A WHOLE BUDGET THAT WE JUST RECENTLY APPROVED THAT THAT WAS BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE WOULD GET TO FULL COST RECOVERY.

AND I, I THINK I THINK IT WOULD BE SOUND FOR US TO HOLD TO THAT AS BEST WE CAN.

OKAY. SUPERVISOR FRERICHS, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING BEFORE WE GO BACK TO? YEAH, I THINK I JUST WOULD SAY A COUPLE QUICK THINGS. I MEAN, I DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WITH DUE RESPECT TO THE THE SORT OF THE LARGE ISSUES WE FACE WITH BUDGET DEFICITS AND SUCH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF AIR CONDITIONERS HERE AND THERE, REPLACEMENTS IS PROBABLY NOT GOING TO BE THE THING THAT, YOU KNOW, FILLS THE FILLS THAT GAP.

I MEAN, IN TERMS OF THE PERMIT COSTS EITHER INCREASE OR DECREASE.

SO I THINK THAT, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF THE YOU KNOW, THE VAST MAJORITY.

SO I'M LOOKING I'M LOOKING AT THE NOT JUST THE STAFF REPORT, BUT THE, THE ATTACHMENT, WHICH IS PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY. ACROSS NUMEROUS DEPARTMENTS.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S. IF THERE'S INTEREST AT ALL FROM THE BOARD.

YOU KNOW, HAVE A FEW OF THESE KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SORT OF REFERRED WILL SAY TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE, THE REVENUE SUBCOMMITTEE, WHICH I THINK IS TOTALLY FINE. OR IF THERE'S STAFF, PARTICULARLY THE CIO, HAS A DIFFERENT SUGGESTION. I THINK THAT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE. I THINK THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM ARE TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE,

[01:40:03]

THOUGH. I MEAN, AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT IT'S 14 PAGES.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, ACROSS THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

A LOT OF THEM, YES, ARE IN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY SERVICES, BUT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THE SUB SUB FEES OR SUB GROUPINGS, INCLUDING LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT DIVISION AND SUCH AND ALL THAT STUFF I THINK IS TOTALLY FINE.

I THINK AGAIN, INCLUDING ALSO AG DEPARTMENT CHANGES, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A VARIETY OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE LISTED, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, ETC., THE LIBRARY AND THE ARCHIVES, FOR EXAMPLE, AS WELL AS LISTED SO PARKS.

SO I THINK MOST OF THEM ARE FINE. IT FEELS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A NEED FOR JUST A SORT OF A YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S AGAIN, INTEREST BY THE BOARD A SUBSET TO BE TAKEN, YOU KNOW, A MORE CLOSER LOOK AT.

BUT I MEAN, I THINK THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM ARE OKAY TO GO TODAY, IN MY OPINION.

SO THANK YOU. OKAY. GO AHEAD. YEAH. I THINK THE BOARD IS INTENT.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS WAS TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE IN TERMS OF PERCENTAGE INCREASE.

AND YOU KNOW, THE BOARD OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T WANT TO GO OVER 3%, BUT SOME OF THESE ARE OVER 3%.

1010 I'M SORRY, 29% ON ELECTRICAL SERVICE REPLACEMENT, 25% FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING REPLACEMENT.

AND THERE'S, I THINK IT WAS 32%, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, FOR OR 31% FOR THE 100 ZERO FOOT NEW SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING. SO I RECOMMEND THAT THERE'S SOME THAT WE DO PROCEED TO MOVE FORWARD.

BUT THOSE THAT ARE DESCRIBED I JUST DESCRIBED, I THINK THAT NEEDS TO GO BACK TO A SUBCOMMITTEE FOR FURTHER VETTING FOR FOR PROPER RECOMMENDATION BACK TO THE BOARD. THAT WOULD BE MY MOTION.

OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO IDENTIFY WHICH ONES SO THAT IF IT'S AN ACTUAL MOTION, GO AHEAD.

SUPERVISOR I CAN HELP. I MEAN, I THINK, I THINK I THINK WE SAW MAYBE IF WE WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDING TODAY, BUT TAKE THE PROCESS BY WHICH WE CONCLUDE THESE FEES TO ADDRESS THE CONCERN THAT YOU RAISED AS A AS A COMPONENT OF OUR DISCUSSION AND BRING IT BACK MAYBE WITH SOME STAFF RECOMMENDATION, MAYBE NOT DOING IT IN REAL TIME, BUT LOOKING AT IT BROADLY, MAYBE WE CAN BRING THAT BACK, BUT MOVING THESE FEES FORWARD, BECAUSE I SUSPECT AT SOME LEVEL, STAFF HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO KIND OF FACTOR IN OR BAKE IN THE REVENUES TO SUPPORT THEIR OWN BUDGETS, RESPECTIVELY. SO MAYBE THAT'S A WAY TO DO BOTH.

BUT ADDRESS WHAT STAFF IS REQUESTING OF US AT THIS TIME.

CAN I CLARIFY WHAT WHAT HE SAID? SO IS YOUR BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR MOTION.

WE DON'T HAVE THE SECOND YET, BUT I YOU HEARD YOU TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.

OH, THERE'S A SECOND. OKAY, THERE'S A SECOND. OKAY. WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS ONE.

IF I MIGHT JUST JUMP ON BECAUSE THAT BECAUSE WHAT I WAS THINKING IS THAT BECAUSE THAT WE GO FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSED FEE INCREASES THAT ARE PRESENTED TO US TODAY, BUT AS A POLICY DECISION TO LOOK MORE CAREFULLY AT INDIVIDUAL INCREASES GOING FORWARD THAT I WOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION, BUT I WOULD I WOULD PREFER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING AT FULL COST RECOVERY, AND I SUPPORT THAT AND NOT DOING A STAGED OR PULLING SOME OFF.

YEAH. WHAT WE'RE FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE WE'RE BEING PICKED.

THIS IS JUNE 23RD. IF THEY HAVE THEIR BUDGET SET FOR JULY 1ST WITH THESE ASSUMPTIONS, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD TO THE BOARD.

IT WASN'T. SO NOW THEY'RE PUTTING US IN A POSITION IN WHICH WE HAVE TO DECIDE AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO BACK TO SUBCOMMITTEE.

THE ONLY WAY TO GO BACK TO SUBCOMMITTEE AND VET IT IS TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY CERTAIN FEES THAT WE BELIEVE ARE A LITTLE BIT OVER 10%, WHICH IS THE ONES I IDENTIFIED. I DON'T THINK IT'S INCUMBENT ON US JUST BECAUSE THEY MADE THE MISTAKE TO PRESENT THAT TO US A WEEK BEFORE JULY 1ST. SO THAT SHOULDN'T BE ON US. ALL RIGHT.

SECOND OF ALL, THERE'S A LOT OF RURAL INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE VERY, VERY POOR.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY SOME OF THESE FEES.

I'M NOT SURE IF INDIVIDUALS STAFF HAD HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS? ARE THEY RESIDENTS? NO, NO, WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO RESIDENTS IN REGARDS TO THAT.

I WILL SAY THAT A LOT OF THESE FEES ARE BASED UPON THE NUMBER OF PERMITS THAT THEY THEY ANTICIPATE RECEIVING, AND WE DON'T HAVE THE PERMIT TOTAL. NOWHERE NEAR REMOTELY CLOSE TO SAC COUNTY OR EVEN SOLANO COUNTY.

AND MY POINT IS LIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED. DATA AND NUMBERS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF INDIVIDUALS LIVES.

[01:45:05]

WE HAVE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH PEOPLE. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME RESIDENTS WHO HAVE CONCERNS ON SOME OF THESE FEES.

THAT'S WHY I'M RAISING THIS ISSUE UP. SO THEN AGAIN, SO THAT'S WHY I THINK THIS MATTERS.

IT'S NOT ABOUT NUMBERS. IT'S NOT ABOUT DATA. IT'S NOT IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES.

AND HOW CAN WE FIND A HAPPY MEDIUM. THAT'S WHY I'M WILLING TO HAVE IT GO BACK TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR FURTHER DELIBERATION.

AND CAN I TALK ABOUT THE SUBCOMMITTEE? BECAUSE TO ME, IT FEELS A LITTLE AWKWARD TO HAVE THE FEES GO TO THE COMMITTEE THAT'S LOOKING AT HOW TO INCREASE REVENUE. THAT SEEMS MORE OF A BUDGET ISSUE, IF THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO.

WELL, I MEAN, IT'S THAT'S WHY I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY FRAMED THAT WAY.

AND AS FAR AS OUR STAFF REPORT TODAY, YOU KNOW, WITH THESE PROPOSED INCREASES, WE WOULD APPROXIMATELY 300,000 LITTLE OVER $300,000 TO IN TERMS OF INCREASED GENERAL FUND REVENUE. I DON'T I MEAN, I DON'T I DON'T HAVE A PARTICULAR STRONG FEELING AS TO WHERE IT GOES.

I MEAN, BUT I THINK A LITTLE BIT OF ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION AROUND SOME OF THESE, I MEAN, I HAVE CONCERNS ON THIS ONE IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.

I MEAN, ONE OF OUR, ONE OF OUR POTENTIAL REAL YOU KNOW, CLIMATE POLICIES FOR THIS COUNTY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE USING HIGH ENERGY EFFICIENCY, YOU KNOW, HIGH EFFICIENCY APPLIANCES, FOR EXAMPLE.

I MEAN, SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO NECESSARILY BE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF AREAS I THINK THAT NEED SOME A BIT OF DISCUSSION.

AGAIN, THE VAST MAJORITY OUT OF THE 14 PAGES.

TOTALLY GOOD. I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE HERE AND THERE THAT NEED A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE A LITTLE ADDITIONAL FINE TUNING.

SO I MEAN, I ACTUALLY ONE QUICK QUESTION. I HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE THERE'S SEVERAL SLIDES WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT COUNTIES. DOES SUTTER COUNTY HAVE A FEE FOR AIR CONDITIONER REPLACEMENT OR IS IT JUST WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FEE IS? THAT WAS JUST ONE. I MEAN, THERE'S THERE ARE FEES. THERE ARE FEES FROM SUTTER COUNTY ASSOCIATED AND OTHER SLIDES.

SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT ONE AS JUST AN EXAMPLE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION QUESTION DIRECTED TO ADAM SUTTER.

THERE'S A BLANK NEXT TO SUTTER. DO THEY NOT HAVE. YEAH. THEY DIDN'T RESPOND.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. I SEE. SO SO AS THE MOTION MAKER I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN THE RECOMMENDATION.

I'M SORRY. OH. I'M SORRY. OKAY. OKAY. DID YOU WANT TO ADD WHATEVER YOU WANT? YEAH, I THINK I THINK IN DEFERENCE TO OUR COLLEAGUE WHO REPRESENTS THE MAJORITY OF THE RURAL PARTS OF THE COUNTY, AND WE ALL WANT TO BE THOUGHTFUL AROUND OUR FEES.

I DON'T THINK STAFF'S FRETTING ABOUT ONE BEING PULLED OFF.

FURTHER DISCUSSION TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE ADJUST IT? BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY. I MEAN, JUST FOR THE FEE, PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO TRY TO RECONCILE WITH A FEE.

FOR WHAT? RIGHT. SO IT'S ANOTHER $500 ON TOP OF THE ALREADY VERY EXPENSIVE PROCESS OF GETTING REPLACEMENTS PUT IN PLACE.

SO I WOULD SUPPORT THAT IF WHATEVER THE CONFIGURATION OF THE MOTION WOULD BE.

THAT MAKES SENSE. I'M GOOD WITH THAT. YES. WELL CAN I SEE WHAT MIKE HAS TO SAY? YES. GO AHEAD. I HAVE ONE RECOMMENDATION, WHICH I DO THINK THAT THE WITH RESPECT TO THE, THE DISCUSSION POINTS BEING BROUGHT UP AND SOME OF THE, WHAT I'LL JUST SIMPLY SORT OF PARAPHRASE BACK AS SOME OF THE MORE IMPACTFUL PERMIT FEE INCREASES, ESPECIALLY TO THE RURAL COMMUNITY, POTENTIALLY IN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

BOTH IS I DO THINK THAT THERE'S A COUPLE CATEGORIES HERE WHERE THERE ARE FAIRLY SIZABLE INCREASES PROPOSED TO INDIVIDUAL PERMIT FEES THAT THE BOARD COULD CONSIDER HITTING PAUSE ON THESE SPECIFIC FEES, AND I'LL LIST THOSE OUT IN A MOMENT.

HOLD THOSE AS STATUS QUO FOR THE MOMENT. REFER BACK TO THE BOARD'S DISCRETION, WHETHER THAT'S THE BUDGET AD HOC OR THE REVENUE AD HOC.

AND WE COULD ASK PHIL TO WEIGH IN ON THAT IF HE HAS ANY PARTICULAR PERSPECTIVE.

BUT I THINK THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE BOARD DISCRETION ON WHICH OF THE TWO AD HOC YOU DEEM MAKES MOST SENSE.

SO HOLD THOSE FEES, SORT OF ANY INCREASES IN ABEYANCE FOR NOW UNTIL THERE CAN BE A RECOMMENDATION THAT COMES BACK ON THESE SPECIFIC FEES.

AND THAT THE ONES THAT CATCH MY EYE FROM MY REVIEW OF IT ARE WINDOW REPLACEMENTS, BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY COMMON ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADE THAT WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE, ESPECIALLY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE AS STATED BY VICE CHAIR BARAJAS, THE AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING, OR HVAC REPLACEMENTS YOU KNOW, PERMITS. AND THEN I THINK, AS NOTED EARLIER, PERHAPS THE FEES ON SINGLE FAMILY HOME CONSTRUCTION IN PARTICULAR, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CATEGORIES THAT CATCH MY EYE. AND I'LL TURN TO DIRECTOR FESSLER TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY THAT HE WOULD WANT TO ADD BASED ON SORT OF THE GENERAL CRITERIA THAT WE'RE HEARING HERE. I THINK THE REROOF PERMIT SHOULD ALSO BE REASSESSED AS WELL, BECAUSE IT IS SIZABLY, YOU KNOW, LARGER INCREASE THAN THAN MOST OF OUR OTHER JURISDICTIONS, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

AND RE ROOFS ARE SOMETHING THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO SECURE THEIR RESIDENTIAL UNIT OR THEIR GARAGE OR WHATEVER TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T FAIL.

[01:50:07]

AND IT'S ALSO OFTEN TIED TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY UPGRADES THAT WE AGAIN, WANT TO ENCOURAGE AS OPPOSED TO DISCOURAGE.

YEAH, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER.

IS THAT SPECIFIC SUBSET OF FEES THAT PROBABLY COULD BE THE MOST IMPACTFUL, ESPECIALLY IN OUR RURAL AREAS, WANTS TO HOLD OFF ON JUST NOW DOING THE FEE INCREASES.

IF THE BOARD IS OKAY WITH THE OTHER FEES THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED IN VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND SO FORTH, THEN THEY COULD MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, BUT HOLD OFF ON THESE OTHERS UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT WE CAN MEET WITH THE AD HOC AND THEN RETURN TO THE BOARD WITH RECOMMENDATIONS.

GREAT. YES. GO AHEAD. SO YEAH, ARE YOU REFERRING TO, AGAIN THE AIR CONDITIONER REPLACEMENT FEE, THE ELECTRIC SERVICE REPLACEMENT, THE REROOF, THE SOLAR MOUNT WATER HEATER.

WHICH ONES ARE YOU REFERRING TO? HE SAID WINDOW REPLACEMENT, A C REPLACEMENT, SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND REROOF.

OKAY. I'M FINE WITH THAT. YEAH. OKAY. IN PARTICULAR, I'M REFERRING TO THE ATTACHMENT.

B I'M GOOD WITH THAT. IT LAYS OUT THE SPECIFIC LINE ITEM.

I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT TO THE MOTION. OKAY. AND THEN CAN YOU CLARIFY WHERE IT WOULD GO? JUST SO WE KNOW WHICH COMMITTEE IS GOING TO LOOK AT IT. I'M FINE EITHER WAY. WITH WHAT? YEAH.

THEN I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL KNOW WHAT MOTION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S FINE WITH THE REVENUE SUBCOMMITTEE. OKAY.

TO THE REVENUE. OKAY. YES, SUPERVISOR. SANDY, CAN I JUST.

CAN I JUST MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT IT GO TO THE BUDGET COMMITTEE AND SUBCOMMITTEE INSTEAD? ONLY BECAUSE I THINK THE REVENUE SEEMS TO ME THAT THE REVENUE SUBCOMMITTEE HAS BEEN SAYING, LET'S GO FOR REVENUE EVERYWHERE WE CAN. AND HERE'S OUR IDEAS.

AND I THINK THIS WAS PART OF A BOARD DISCUSSION PREVIOUSLY.

SO. AND I CAN TOTALLY APPRECIATE THAT. SO NO DISRESPECT MEANT HERE AT ALL, BUT I THINK ANY ANY CHANGES WE MAKE IN REVENUE IN THIS PARTICULAR REVENUE SOURCE HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE BUDGET.

AND I REALLY WANT US TO KNOW WHAT THOSE IMPLICATIONS ARE IF WE DON'T GO FOR FULL RECOVERY HERE.

HOW MUCH LESS WILL THIS ADD TO OUR BUDGET AND WHERE IS THAT GOING TO COME FROM? I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW THAT. AND I DO THINK THAT THAT IS FOR THE BROADER GROUP THAT IS WORKING ON THE OVERALL BUDGET.

AND I ALSO JUST I MEAN, THAT'S JUST I CAN SUPPORT THE BOARD'S DESIRE TO PUT SOME OF THESE BACK FOR FULLER, MORE FULL RECONSIDERATION AND FUTURE CONSIDERATION BY US.

BUT I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY, I DON'T THINK A MISTAKE WAS MADE HERE.

I JUST I JUST WANT TO COUNTER THAT NARRATIVE JUST FOR A MINUTE.

I THINK THAT WE'RE HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS IS WHAT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF RIGHT NOW.

THE PUBLIC WAS INVITED. ABSOLUTELY. THIS WAS NOTICED AS COMING, AND THE PUBLIC WAS INVITED TO COME AND MAKE THEIR COMMENTS KNOWN.

AND I FULLY SUPPORT THE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF THE DECISIONS WE'RE ABOUT TO MAKE AND, AND HAS EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO INFORM THAT WITH THEIR PERSPECTIVE.

BUT I THINK THE STAFF HAS DONE AS GOOD A JOB AS WE COULD HOPE FOR TO BRING THIS BUDGET FORWARD.

THIS YEAR IN EACH OF THESE COMPONENTS. SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW WHERE A MISTAKE WAS MADE IN BRINGING THIS BEFORE US.

AND WE DON'T NEED TO, TO NECESSARILY GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THIS IS A VERY HARD BUDGET YEAR.

AND IF WE NEED TIME FOR MORE PUBLIC DISCOURSE AND ENGAGEMENT AND WE CAN AFFORD IT, THEN WE SHOULD DEFINITELY AFFORD IT. THAT'S. THANK YOU. I'M OKAY WITH MOVING IT TO THE BUDGET AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE COMPOSED OF THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR.

AND IN REGARDS TO FUTURE MASTER FEE REVISIONS, I THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ADOPT THEIR BUDGET, BECAUSE THE WAY IT'S LAID OUT RIGHT NOW, THE MISTAKE IS IT'S BAKED IN.

SO WHAT WE VOTED ON ON JUNE 9TH WAS ANTICIPATING REVENUES THAT WE WE WOULD PASS THIS TWO WEEKS LATER IN JUNE 23RD.

THIRD. SO THAT'S THE MISTAKE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REVERSED WHERE MASTER FEE REVISION COMES TO THE BOARD AND APPROVED.

SO THAT WAY WE BAKE IT INTO OUR BUDGET THAT WE PASS.

THANK YOU. OKAY. AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

AND THEN I HAD A COUPLE SUGGESTIONS ABOUT FEES THAT THAT IS NOT RELATED TO THIS ON.

SO I'M GOING TO HOLD THE ITEM OPEN AFTER WE VOTE ON THIS MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

AND THEN, AND I JUST WANT, AND I APPRECIATE THAT THAT MOST OF THE RURAL AREA ARE THAT YOU REPRESENT THEM ANGEL AND THAT YOU TALK WITH THEM.

I THINK IMPACT TO DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE UP HERE ARE NOT JUST RELATED TO THE FEES THAT WE DO, BUT ALL THE, WE DID A BUDGET A COUPLE WEEKS AGO THAT HAS HAD THAT WILL HAVE AND HAS HAD A MAJOR IMPACT ON OUR COUNTY.

[01:55:06]

AND I HEAR FROM, YOU KNOW, MY PEOPLE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO GET THEIR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN DAVIS.

IF THE DOORS ARE GOING TO BE OPEN, IF WE'RE, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE, YOU KNOW, TO GET THEIR MEDI-CAL, IF THEY'RE GOING TO GET THEIR CALFRESH, IF THEY'RE GOING TO OUR NEXT ITEM THAT HOPEFULLY WE GET TO SOON ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES THAT'S SHRINKING ALSO.

SO I THINK THAT WE FEEL THE PAIN AND THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY FEEL THE PAIN.

SO WE HAVE TO WE MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS AND TRY TO MITIGATE WHEN WE CAN.

BUT I YEAH, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, OKAY, THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES. COULD I DO YOU WANT TO I'D JUST LIKE TO CLARIFY WHERE WE'RE RECOMMENDING.

YES. SO, SO JUST TO, TO WHAT THE CHAIR HAS HEARD IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO MOVE THE FEES FORWARD AS PROPOSED, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FOLLOWING. THE WINDOW REPLACEMENT, A C REPLACEMENT, SINGLE FAMILY HOME FEES, WHAT ARE THEY CALLED, WHATEVER THAT THAT SECTION IS AND THE REROOF.

SO THOSE FOUR AND THAT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MAKER OF THE MOTION SAID THAT IT SHALL GO BACK TO THE BUDGET AD HOC FOR DISCUSSION, AND THEN COME BACK TO THE BOARD. CORRECT. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

AYE. OPPOSED? ME, I OPPOSE IT JUST BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT I SAID.

OKAY. SO IT PASSES FOUR ONE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. NOW WE ARE TAKING AN ITEM OUT OF ORDER AS OUR NEXT ITEM IS TIME SET FOR 1 P.M..

SO WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM 48, THE APPROVE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT INTEGRATED PLAN.

[48. Approve the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) FY 2026-2029 Integrated Plan. (No general fund impact) (Morales) (Est. Staff Presentation: 15 min)]

AND WE HAVE TONI COMING FORWARD. WELCOME, TONI.

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR ALAN OR GOOD MORNING. AS THE CASE MAY BE AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, I'M TONI KILDARE, I'M THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIRECTOR FOR YOLO COUNTY. I'M HERE TODAY TO REQUEST THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT FOR 2026 TO 2029. THE PURPOSE OF THE PRESENTATION TODAY IS TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE FINAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT INTEGRATED PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO 2029, TO REVIEW THE TRANSFORMATION THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE INTEGRATED PLAN.

REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT INTEGRATED PLAN AND REQUEST AUTHORITY FOR AUTHORIZATION REQUEST THAT I BE GIVEN AUTHORITY TO MAKE NON-SUBSTANTIVE NON-SUBSTANTIVE REVISIONS TO THE INTEGRATED PLAN.

IF FURTHER REVISIONS ARE REQUESTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES.

I DO NOT ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WILL BE NECESSARY.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES HAS REVIEWED THE FINAL PLAN AND HAS SIGNED OFF ON IT, BUT OUR EXPERIENCE AND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF WORKING WITH OTHER COUNTIES IS THERE HAS BEEN SOME BACK AND FORTH WITH THE STATE ABOUT MAKING SOME MINOR CHANGES.

SO I'M JUST I'M REQUESTING THAT IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT WERE TO COME UP, THAT I WOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE THAT CHANGE.

JUST LOOKING BACK AT THE TIMELINE HERE WE STARTED WORKING ON THIS BACK IN MAY OF 2025 WITH REVIEWING THE REGULATIONS AND STARTING THE PLANNING PROCESS. WE DEVELOPED AN ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY IN AUGUST OF 2025 AND ENGAGED AND PARTICIPATED IN SOME COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER OF 2025 TO GATHER STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK.

AND THAT WOULD INFORM THE PLAN BETWEEN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER OF 2025.

WE ANALYZED THAT FEEDBACK. WE DEVELOPED THE FINDINGS REPORT, AND WE WE DID THE FIRST VERSION OF THE DRAFT PLAN BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH.

WE MADE OUR FIRST SUBMISSION TO THE STATE ON MARCH 31ST, WHICH WAS WHEN IT WAS DUE.

WE WERE ON TIME, WHICH WAS GREAT. AND NOW BETWEEN APRIL AND JUNE, WE'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE STATE.

WE ALSO HAD A 30 DAY PUBLIC PUBLIC POSTING PERIOD.

WE HELD A PUBLIC HEARING AND WE OBTAINED THE APPROVAL FOR THE INITIAL SUBMISSION TO THE STATE.

NOW WE'RE REQUESTING I APOLOGIZE, I GOT THAT OUT OF ORDER.

WE REQUESTED AUTHORITY FOR THE INITIAL DRAFT BACK IN MARCH.

RIGHT NOW HERE TODAY, I'M REQUESTING AUTHORITY FOR US TO SUBMIT THE FINAL THE FINAL VERSION TO THE STATE BEFORE THE DUE DATE ON JUNE 30TH.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ON TIME. IT'S GREAT. JUST TO RECAP, AS EVERYONE MAY RECALL, THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT IS A 1% TAX ON MILLIONAIRES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT IS TRANSFORMING THE EXISTING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT BY CREATING SOME DIFFERENT FUNDING CATEGORIES AND ALLOWING FOR SOME DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES TO BE FUNDED UNDER THE OLD PLAN.

[02:00:05]

THE PRIMARY COMPONENTS WERE PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES AND SUPPORTS.

UNDER THE NEW PLAN, THE PRIMARY INTERVENTIONS ARE.

THE PRIMARY FUNDING CATEGORIES ARE HOUSING INTERVENTIONS, FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIPS AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORTS.

THERE ARE SOME OTHER DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, LIKE THE STATE TAKING AN ADDITIONAL 5% OFF THE TOP AND ELIMINATING PREVENTION SERVICES TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE COUNTY AND INSTEAD BEING ADMINISTERED BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH AT A STATE LEVEL.

BUT WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST, AND I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THAT POINT.

SO WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT TODAY ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATIVE PROMISE OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT AND OUR LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION.

AND THE VISION HERE IS TO BUILD A MORE RESPONSIVE, EQUITABLE, AND PERSON CENTERED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM THAT CONNECTS RESIDENTS TO THE RIGHT SERVICES AT THE RIGHT TIME AND IN THE RIGHT SETTING.

WE'RE PLANNING TO INVEST IN EARLIER INTERVENTION, EXPANDED ACCESS, HOUSING STABILITY, COMMUNITY BASED TREATMENT CRISIS ALTERNATIVES, AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE SERVICES SO RESIDENTS RECEIVE THE RIGHT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE AT THE RIGHT TIME AND IN THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE SETTING.

THE CONCEPT HERE IS THAT THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A FUNDING CHANGE.

IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO REIMAGINE HOW WE'RE SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

AND WHAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON IS THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION INITIALLY ABOUT THE TRANSITION FROM THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICE ACT AND WHAT WE'RE LOSING RIGHT AROUND, LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, PREVENTION AND HOW WE WERE HAVING TO CARVE OUT SOME DOLLARS TO MAKE ROOM FOR HOUSING.

AND REALLY, THE IDEA IS LIKE FOR US TO FOCUS ON WHAT WE'RE GAINING, RIGHT? AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE USING THE FUNDING TO MOVE THE WORK FORWARD.

SUPERVISOR ALLEN I, I, I DID NOT MISS WHERE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES FUNDING BEING UNDER PRESSURE AND THAT IS UNDOUBTABLE. HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO THE WORK AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH TRYING TO TRANSFORM THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE VISION OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT AND THE, THE REQUIREMENTS THAT COME ALONG WITH IT.

SO ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT IS THAT THERE ARE THESE STATEWIDE POPULATION BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GOALS.

THERE ARE 14 GOALS IN PARTICULAR, THE ONES WHO ARE ASKED ASTERISK SIZED OR UNDERLINED HERE ARE PRIORITIES.

SO THESE ARE UNTREATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, INSTITUTIONALIZATION, HOMELESSNESS, JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT AND REMOVAL OF CHILDREN FROM THE HOME. THROUGHOUT THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT PLAN, WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE PRIORITY ITEMS. AND THEN THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL AREA THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO CHOOSE AN ADDITIONAL AREA, AND WE CHOSE ACCESS TO CARE.

ONE WAY OF CONCEPTUALIZING WHAT THIS IS LIKELY GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE IS SIMILAR TO WHAT IS DONE IN CHILD WELFARE.

THERE'S A CHILD WELFARE OUTCOME INDICATORS PROJECT, WHICH IS PUBLIC FACING DATA THAT IS MINTED, AND IT'S KIND OF PROCESSED BY UC BERKELEY. AND THEN THERE'S SOME OUTCOME INDICATORS, AND YOU CAN GO IN AND KIND OF DO A DEEP DIVE IN THE DATA TO SEE HOW EACH COUNTY IS DOING RESPECTIVE TO THE STATE AND COMPARE COUNTIES AND JUST ESSENTIALLY HOW A COUNTY IS DOING IN THESE AREAS.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

WE'RE WAITING FOR WHAT THE STATE IS CALLING THE VOTER. IT'S THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES AND ACCOUNTABILITY TRANSFORMATION REPORT AND I'M SORRY, TRANSPARENCY REPORT. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

WE'RE GOING TO START GETTING AN IDEA ABOUT WHAT THE WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

BUT THE TAKEAWAY HERE REALLY IS THAT THERE ARE.

OUTCOME INDICATORS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ATTACHED TO THIS WORK, AND WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING THEM TO DETERMINE HOW WE'RE DOING AS A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM. I'M GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY PLANNING PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING THE PLAN.

WE HAD 514 TOTAL PARTICIPANTS. NOW I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE I ASKED THE QUESTION MYSELF FROM MY STAFF, THESE ARE NOT UNDUPLICATED COUNTS, BUT WE HAD 514 INDIVIDUALS IN THESE DIFFERENT 514 COUNTED PEOPLE, I GUESS IS A WAY OF CALLING IT. WE THROUGH SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER, WE HAD A MULTI-METHOD ENGAGEMENT TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY TO REACH ALL 30 VH A MANDATED STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. AND ADDITIONALLY, WE HAD TWO ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS DURING THE 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD BETWEEN APRIL 1ST AND APRIL 30TH. THOSE MEETINGS WERE HELD ON APRIL 16TH AND 22ND TO GAIN ADDITIONAL INPUT.

AND SO THERE WERE 41 ADDITIONAL PARTICIPANTS THAT ARE NOT CAPTURED IN THE 514 THERE.

AND WHAT WE HEARD ACROSS THE STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, THE THEMES WERE THAT THERE IS THAT WE HAVE FRAGMENTED SERVICE DELIVERY,

[02:05:08]

THAT THERE'S FRAGMENTATION AND COORDINATION. I THINK, TO WHAT YOU WERE SPEAKING ABOUT, SUPERVISOR ALLEN AND I KNOW SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS, CAN WE GET SERVICES HERE IN WEST SACRAMENTO OR DAVIS OR WHERE DO WE GET THEM? HOW DO WE GET INFORMATION ABOUT SERVICES, HOUSING BEING A FOUNDATION FOR BEING CRITICAL FOR STABLE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH OUTCOMES, A NEED FOR EARLY INTERVENTION, A NEED FOR US TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL STRENGTH IN CULTURAL RESPONSIVENESS.

THERE WAS A LOT OF FEEDBACK AROUND RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AND WORKFORCE CAPACITY.

A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER ON THESE SERVICES BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITATIONS AS A SYSTEM.

AND WE RECEIVED SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT HOW WE DO HAVE STRONG PARTNERSHIPS AND DEDICATED STAFF THAT ARE CREATING A FOUNDATION FOR THE SYSTEM INTEGRATION. AND WHAT I WILL JUST PAUSE FOR JUST A MOMENT AND JUST TO SAY THAT I CANNOT SPEAK HIGHLY OF THE DEDICATION OF OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH STAFF HERE IN YOLO COUNTY.

THE WE, THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF HAS BEEN A REAL WHIRLWIND FOR ME AS I CAME IN AS THE INTERIM BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DIRECTOR IN LAST JANUARY.

AND WE'VE HAD TO TAKE ON A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY AND I WON'T, YOU KNOW, GET INTO EVERYTHING.

BUT THE STAFF IS BEYOND DEDICATED. THEY'RE, YOU KNOW AND THAT REALLY IS THE STRENGTH THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD UPON AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PLAN AND SOME OF THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE COMING TO US FROM A STATE LEVEL.

THIS SLIDE IS A GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION OF THE KIND OF BIG THEMES OF THE PUBLIC PLAN.

I'M SORRY. OF THE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. SO AGAIN, HOUSING, HOMELESSNESS AND HIGH ACUITY NEEDS, RESOURCE PRIORITIZATION, PRIORITIZATION AMID FISCAL CONSTRAINTS A DESIRE TO HAVE SUPPORT FOR DIVERSE EVIDENCE BASED AND COMMUNITY INFORMED SERVICES, TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND OUTCOMES.

AND FOR US TO DO A BETTER JOB WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, PLANNING AND COMMUNICATION.

AND SO WHAT I WILL SAY ABOUT THIS KIND OF OVERVIEW OF THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK IS WE'RE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS HOUSING, HOMELESSNESS AND HIGH ACUITY NEEDS IN THE PLAN.

WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO, TO PRIORITIZE RESOURCES.

WE'RE ALSO REQUIRED TO DO EVIDENCE BASED AND COMMUNITY INFORMED SERVICES AS PART OF THE PLAN.

THE INCLUDES TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND OUTCOMES AS A CORE FEATURE.

AND WE HAVE WE HAVE TAKEN THE FEEDBACK THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED WITH REGARDS TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT VERY SERIOUSLY.

AND WE PLAN TO WORK THAT IN AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD TO TO DO A BETTER JOB OF MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING MORE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

ONE OF THE ONE OF THE CRITIQUES WE RECEIVED IS PEOPLE WERE FINDING OUT A LITTLE BIT LATE OR, AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THERE WAS ENOUGH TIME TO, TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS.

AND, AND THAT REALLY, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, IS AN ARTIFACT OF THE, OF TRYING TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO WITH IMPLEMENT, WITH DEVELOPING THE PLAN. IT WAS A BIG CHANGE TO GO FROM A DECADES LONG PROCESS UNDER THE MSSA TO THE NEW PROCESS AND INFORMATION WAS COMING TO US SORT OF IN SPURTS.

AND SO AGAIN IN THE, IN THE COMING YEAR AND MOVING FORWARD, WE PLAN TO MAKE SOME UPDATES TO THE WAY THAT WE'RE ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY.

SO I'M GOING TO GO DO A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN.

THE FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP IS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN WHERE WE ARE REQUIRED TO INVEST A LITTLE OVER A THIRD OF THE FUNDING FOR IT. THE FSP GOALS, THE GOALS THAT WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS IN KIND OF THOSE HIGH LEVEL 14 OUTCOME INDICATOR GOALS ARE INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE AND REDUCING INSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONALIZATION.

FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP SERVICES ARE LIKE WRAPAROUND SERVICES, ESSENTIALLY.

AND WITH THE IDEA OF PROVIDING THE HIGHEST INTENSITY OF OUTCOME OR OUTPATIENT SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR INDIVIDUALS.

AND THE IDEA REALLY IS TO FULLY SUPPORT THEM IN THE COMMUNITY SO THAT THEY DO NOT NEED A HIGHER LEVEL OF CARE.

THE, THE EXPANSION HERE IS WE'RE FOCUSING ON CO-OCCURRING MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS.

AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH ENHANCING ENHANCING FSB SERVICES TO INCLUDE INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND CO-OCCURRING SUDS. THIS CHART YOU'RE SEEING ON THE RIGHT HERE IS INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US BY THE CALIFORNIA MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE AN

[02:10:02]

ESTIMATE OF THE LIKELY NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS IN YOLO COUNTY WHO REQUIRE THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE.

SO YOU CAN SEE WITH ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT, WHICH IS A SPECIALIZED FORM OF FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP AND FORENSIC ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT. THERE'S ABOUT 93 INDIVIDUALS COMBINED THERE.

AND THAT ROUGHLY EQUATES TO THE ADULT FSB PROGRAM THAT WE CURRENTLY OPERATE AND OUR FORENSIC PROGRAM THAT ARE ABOUT 130 INDIVIDUALS.

THE INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, FSB NUMBERS ARE PRETTY, PRETTY HIGH.

AND I THINK THAT WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION PREVIOUSLY WHERE WE'RE NOT THE ONLY COUNTY THAT IS UNABLE TO MEET THE PROJECTED NEED FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO REQUIRE THIS LEVEL OF CARE.

WE HAVE SOME ABILITY IN YOLO COUNTY CURRENTLY TO PROVIDE INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT MEET THAT LEVEL OR THAT MEET THAT, THAT NEED. BUT WE ARE THE 433 IS A GOAL TO STRIVE FOR.

WITH HIGH FIDELITY WRAPAROUND, THERE'S AN ESTIMATE OF 170 INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED THAT LEVEL OF CARE AND WITH INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT AND SUPPORT.

765. WE ARE ACTIVELY MOVING FORWARD WITH DEVELOPING HIGH FIDELITY WRAPAROUND SUPPORTS FOR THESE ARE WRAPAROUND SERVICES FOR KIDS, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A MEDI-CAL BENEFIT IN, IN THE FUTURE.

AND WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR CHILDREN'S CONTRACTORS TO, TO GET THAT MOVING FORWARD.

170 SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY HIGH ESTIMATE LIKE WE DO ANTICIPATE, THERE'S LIKELY A MUCH LARGER NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MEET CRITERIA FOR THAT THAN WE'RE CURRENTLY SERVING, BUT THAT SEEMS LIKE A HIGH ESTIMATE.

AND THEN WITH INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT AND SUPPORT, THE FEEDBACK WE'RE GETTING FROM OTHER COUNTIES IS THAT THESE SEEM LIKE VERY HIGH ESTIMATES AS WELL, AND MAY BE A MATTER OF ENGAGEMENT AND MAKING SURE THAT INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE AWARE THAT THOSE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.

WE HAVE THE FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, WE HAVE ALL OF THE ELEMENTS IN PLACE HERE EXCEPT FOR INDIVIDUAL PLACEMENT AND SUPPORT.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING TO STAND UP.

AND I'M ALSO JUST GOING TO CALL OUT HERE THAT WE'RE INTEGRATING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES INTO OUR ADULT FSP PROGRAMING ARRAY.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORTS IS ANOTHER CATEGORY OF FUNDING.

AND AGAIN, IT'S ABOUT A THIRD. IT'S 35% OF OUR FUNDING MUST GO TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORTS.

AND THE KEY TAKEAWAY HERE IS THAT THE PROGRAMING IN THIS CATEGORY IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS STATEWIDE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GOALS OF INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE AND REDUCING REMOVAL OF CHILDREN FROM THE HOME. THE EMPHASIS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE HERE IS THAT WE'VE REALLY DONE OUR BEST EFFORT TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH OF THE PREVIOUS ARRAY OF SERVICES THAT WERE BEING PROVIDED THROUGH THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT PLAN.

SO YOU SEE HERE THERE'S CHILDREN'S OUTPATIENT TREATMENT AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ACCESS SERVICES.

THOSE ARE THE AND THOSE ARE SERVICES THAT ARE KIND OF LIKE THE FRONT DOOR, RIGHT? PEOPLE COMING IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AND SERVING CHILDREN, THE K TO 12 SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP, EARLY CHILDHOOD MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS AND LINKAGE.

THOSE ARE THOSE ARE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAD TALKED A LOT ABOUT AT THE END OF THE YEAR AND WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE PLAN.

SO THE, THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS THAT WE BELIEVE WERE LIKELY TO SERVE IN FISCAL YEAR 2627 THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. WHAT I'LL NOTE IS THAT THE COORDINATED SPECIALTY CARE FOR FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS IS A MANDATED EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE THROUGH THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT THAT WE DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE OPERATIONAL. BUT WE'RE WORKING TO GET IT, GET IT GOING THROUGH WILL BE RELEASING AN RFP FOR THIS.

THE SORRY, WHICH ONE WAS THAT? I'M SORRY. THE COORDINATED SPECIALTY CARE FOR FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS OR FIRST EPISODE PSYCHOSIS.

THE, THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS CHART HERE IS REALLY SHOWING WHICH OF THESE SERVICES ARE, ARE CONSIDERED TO BE EARLY INTERVENTION AND WHICH ARE CONSIDERED TO BE NON-EARLY INTERVENTION. JUST KIND OF A SIDE NOTE, ONE OF THE PIECES OF FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED FROM THE STATE WITH WITH THE INITIAL PLAN WAS THAT THEY WANTED US TO MOVE OUR CRISIS INTERVENTION TRAINING FROM EARLY INTERVENTION TO NON-EARLY INTERVENTION.

THAT'S KIND OF ONE OF THOSE LITTLE PIECES. AGAIN, THE INVESTMENTS IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORTS COMPONENT, WE ANTICIPATE, WILL LIKELY REACH MORE THAN 7600 YOLO COUNTY RESIDENTS NEXT YEAR.

EXCUSE ME. OKAY. AND THEN THE FINAL COMPONENT, THE OF THE PLAN IS HOUSING INTERVENTIONS.

[02:15:06]

AND WHAT THE CONCEPT THAT WE ARE DOING IS WE'RE EXPANDING UPON OUR OUR EXISTING INVESTMENTS.

SO WE ALREADY HAVE WE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE, WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT HOW WE WERE GOING TO INTEGRATE HOUSING INTERVENTIONS INTO OUR ARRAY OF SERVICES, WE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT, WE'RE NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO QUALIFY OR THAT'S GOING TO QUALIFY AS WE'VE RECEIVED MORE GUIDANCE FROM THE STATE.

AND AS WE'VE TAKEN A DEEPER DIVE INTO IT, WE'RE FINDING WE'RE ALREADY DOING A LOT OF THIS STUFF, RIGHT. SO WE'RE ALREADY DOING RENTAL SUBSIDIES AND OPERATING SUBSIDIES.

WE'RE DOING INTERIM AND PERMANENT HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO SOME DEGREE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR LOCAL PARTNERS.

AND OF COURSE, WE'RE COLLABORATING ACTIVELY WITH MANAGED CARE PLAN TO RECEIVE APPROPRIATE SERVICES FOR CLIENTS.

WITH WHAT THE GOAL THAT WE'RE THE STATE LEVEL OUTCOME INDICATOR GOAL THAT WE'RE ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS WITH THE HOUSING INTERVENTIONS COMPONENT, IS REDUCING HOMELESSNESS AMONG INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WITH A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITION AND FOCUSING OUR EFFORTS ON THE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS.

THE. THE BUDGET HERE FOR THE HOUSING INTERVENTIONS COMPONENT IS IDENTIFYING ABOUT $640,000 IN RENTAL SUBSIDIES. THOSE ARE THOSE ARE ESSENTIALLY EXISTING COSTS TO SOME DEGREE AND WITH A LITTLE BIT OF BUFFER TO HELP SERVE ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUALS. WE HAVE ABOUT $1.4 MILLION SET ASIDE FOR OPERATING SUBSIDIES.

AND I WILL NOTE THAT THERE IS A SIZABLE PORTION OF THAT BUDGET THAT'S ALREADY SPOKEN FOR WITH PINE TREE GARDENS, OR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF ABOUT $1.2 MILLION.

THERE IS WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO A CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WITH 25% OF THE FUNDING THAT'S ALLOCATED.

SO THERE IS A ONE POINT WE'RE PROPOSING, OR WE HAVE PROPOSED A $1.1 MILLION CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT THAT WE ARE GOING TO REQUEST SOME GUIDANCE ON HOW TO SPEND THAT MONEY. AND I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT IN THE NEXT SLIDE.

AND THEN THERE'S SOME MISCELLANEOUS COSTS HERE ABOUT LANDLORD OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT AND OUR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY BUILDING UP MORE OF THE STAFFING INTERNALLY TO ADMINISTER THIS PART OF THE PLAN, WHICH, AGAIN, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE ALREADY DOING, BUT THERE'S SOME NEW THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO, AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME ADDITIONAL STAFFING SUPPORT IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLAN.

WITH REGARDS TO THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH HOUSING INTERVENTIONS PIECE.

AGAIN IN PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THE WAY THAT THE MONEY WAS ALLOCATED AND WE COULD TRANSFER A PORTION OF, OF FUNDING FROM ONE CATEGORY TO THE OTHER. WE HAD REQUESTED AUTHORITY TO MOVE A PORTION OF THE HOUSING INTERVENTION DOLLARS INTO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORT DOLLARS PREVIOUSLY FROM THIS BOARD. AND WHAT REMAINED WAS $4.4 MILLION FOR HOUSING INTERVENTIONS.

WE CAN USE 25% OF THAT FUNDING FOR A CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY $1.1 MILLION IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WHICH WOULD BE $3.3 $3 MILLION OVER A BUDGETING FOR $3.3 MILLION OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT THREE YEAR PLAN.

WE'VE RECEIVED SOME FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD UTILIZE THESE DOLLARS, AND ONE OF THE SUGGESTIONS TO DATE IS THAT WE WOULD MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH SOME OF OUR PARTNERS THAT THAT ARE PROVIDING PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND OTHER TYPES OF HOUSING FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS AND ESSENTIALLY DO A NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND JUST MAKE SOME DECISIONS ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT DISBURSE FUNDING TO DO SOME ACTUAL PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES TO THOSE PARTICULAR FACILITIES.

HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOT HAD ADEQUATE TIME TO HAVE A FULL CONVERSATION WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN.

WE REALLY WERE JUST TRYING TO IDENTIFY THAT. WE WANTED TO CARVE OUT $1.1 MILLION FOR CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, AND AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION TODAY, WE'RE PROPOSING TO THIS BOARD THAT OUR PLAN WOULD BE TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS, TO GATHER ADDITIONAL INPUT ABOUT HOW WE MIGHT INVEST THESE DOLLARS, AND TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD TO GET FINAL APPROVAL ON THE CORRECT METHOD. TO APPROACH THIS WITH THE INTENT OF RELEASING AN RFP IN FALL OF 2026.

I WILL COMMENT, AND I THINK THAT YOU ALSO HEARD PUBLIC COMMENT EARLIER THAT THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD HAS TAKEN AN INTEREST IN THIS AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF SETTING UP A SUBCOMMITTEE TO TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS WORK.

AND IF IT'S THIS BOARD'S DIRECTION, WE WOULD WE WOULD PROPOSE TO WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD ON THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC.

[02:20:07]

I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AVIS MORALES TO TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET, AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS.

DO YOU WANT? HELLO THERE, CHAIR ALAN. EXCUSE ME.

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, I'M SUPERVISOR BARAJAS HAD SOMETHING.

I JUST HAD TO RECUSE MYSELF ON THIS ITEM. JUST BEING CONSISTENT WITH JUST HAVING AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION REGARDING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND CONTRACTS OR SUBCONTRACTS OR FUNDING THAT WOULD IMPACT IS INCORPORATED, WHICH MY WIFE IS.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF. AND I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE IN A PREVIOUS ITEM SIMILAR TO.

SO RECUSE MYSELF. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. PLEASE GO AHEAD. SURE.

I WOULD JUST GIVE THE BOARD ANOTHER RECAP OF THE BUDGET HIGH LEVEL.

BACK WHEN WE PRESENTED THE BUDGET TO THE BOARD IN MARCH, WE PRESENTED THE BOARD WITH A $22.4 MILLION BUDGET.

WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS A $23.7 MILLION BUDGET.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAD TO INCLUDE $1.3 MILLION OF INNOVATION AND JUST, SAY, INNOVATION DOLLARS.

THAT'S A SEPARATE BUCKET OF MONEY, OF WHICH WE HAVE ABOUT UNDER $5 MILLION OF FUND BALANCE.

THIS ALLOCATION OF MONEY IS GOING TO GO TOWARDS AN ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD.

BUT THAT, THAT, THAT SAID, WE, IN TERMS OF THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN, WE'RE ALLOCATING 4.2 TOWARDS HOUSING INTERVENTIONS, 6.5 TOWARDS FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP, 10.7 MILLION TOWARDS BBHS AND $2.3 MILLION IN TERMS OF PLAN ADMINISTRATION. THAT REPRESENTS ABOUT 9% OF THE TOTAL PLAN.

AGAIN, PER THE BULLETS BELOW, YOU WILL SEE THAT WE'RE ALLOCATING.

WE'RE INCLUDING $1.3 MILLION OF THE INNOVATION FUNDS TOWARDS AN EHR.

WE'RE ALSO WE ALSO DID BASE OUR INITIAL BUDGET ON FY FISCAL YEAR 2025, 26 BUDGET FIGURES.

WE INCLUDED A 5% ESCALATOR. NOW THAT WE'RE HERE TODAY, WE HAVE MARRIED THOSE FIGURES TO THE TRUE RECOMMENDED BUDGET NUMBERS.

SO THE NUMBERS DID SHIFT SOME AND AGAIN, PER THE PLAN PER THE PLAN REQUIREMENTS, WE ARE EXCLUDING THE PLAN ADMINISTRATION, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY REPRESENTED TO YOU AS PART OF THE COMPONENT COSTS.

SORRY, DID IT SHIFT UP OR DOWN? I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS.

THE TOTAL REMAINS THE SAME. OKAY. WE WE, WE ALIGN THE NUMBERS TO TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.

BUT THERE WAS SOME, A BIT OF SHIFTING INVOLVED.

OKAY. WITH THAT, I'LL HAND IT BACK TO TONY. AGAIN, WE'RE REQUESTING THE BOARD TO APPROVE THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT INTEGRATED PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 TO 2029.

AND AGAIN, I'M REQUESTING THAT I HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE NON-SUBSTANTIVE REVISIONS IF NECESSARY.

AND I WILL ONCE AGAIN REITERATE THAT WE DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WILL BE NECESSARY.

WE'RE JUST ASKING JUST IN CASE. OKAY, GREAT. AND WITH THAT PRESENTATION, THEN WE WILL GO TO BOARD QUESTIONS AND THEN WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN DISCUSSION. SO QUESTIONS. NO I JUST OH YES YOU DO.

OKAY. GO AHEAD. I WASN'T SURE. ALL RIGHT. SO THANK YOU TONY.

THANK YOU AVIS. AVIS. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. WELL, YOU DON'T START YOUR PRESENTATION BY SAYING I HAVE BAD NEWS TO DELIVER.

SO IT'S EVIDENT YOU HAVE YOU HAVE ARRIVED IN A SPACE THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF FIGURING OUT HOW DO WE BALANCE THIS MHC NOW VHA SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO OKAY, SO, SO THREE QUESTIONS.

NUMBER ONE IN TERMS OF THE TIMING THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION AS THE CO LIAISON, MY COLLEAGUE AND I SUPERVISOR FRERICHS TO THE, A CONVERSATIONS, THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION AROUND THE NEED TO BEGIN TO PROGRAM SOME OF THE EXPENDITURES.

AND SO HOW, WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW QUICKLY DO WE, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF NEED, BUT HOW QUICKLY DO WE HAVE TO START SPENDING THIS, OR IS THERE IS THERE A REQUIREMENT THAT WE START SPENDING THE MONEY RIGHT AWAY? IF YOU'RE SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY TO THE CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PART OF THE HOUSING INTERVENTIONS, THERE'S NOT A THERE'S NOT A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT FOR US TO SPEND THE FUNDING.

THERE'S NO TIMELINE FOR IT, BASICALLY. SO ESSENTIALLY THERE YOU RUN INTO THE YOU RUN A POTENTIAL RISK OF, OF REVERTING THE FUNDING IF YOU DON'T SPEND IT QUICKLY ENOUGH. BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF TIME BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.

GOT IT. SO UNDERSTOOD. THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR THAT. BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'RE HAVING SO THAT WE ARE EXECUTING A PLAN THAT MAKES SENSE SO THAT EVERYBODY'S AWARE, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT IF YOU DON'T, YOU HAVE TO REVERT FUNDS AND WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

SO OKAY, THAT'S HELPFUL. NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, CAN YOU SO YOU WE AS A BOARD HAVE DIRECTED THAT SOME OF THE FUNDS BE SORT

[02:25:09]

OF PEELED OFF THE TOP OR BAKED INTO THE EQUATION.

PINE TREE GARDENS BEING ONE AT 1.2 MILLION. ARE THERE OTHER FUNDING POTS THAT ARE ALREADY KIND OF LIKE KIND OF PEELED OFF OF THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF? HAVE WE IDENTIFIED OTHER FUNDS OR OTHER FUNDING AMOUNTS FOR OTHER SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT WE NEED TO CALL OUT? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S THE THREE, THE NO, I'M SORRY.

A HANDFUL OF OTHER COUNSELOR POSITIONS ARE WRAPAROUND FOR WRAPAROUND SERVICES.

ARE THERE OTHERS? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAN OR JUST FOR HOUSING INTERVENTIONS? WELL, ACTUALLY, WELL, A GOOD QUESTION. THE ENTIRE PLAN, I THINK, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE SCORE THOSE ON UP FRONT SO THAT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN DIRECTED. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THEM ALL HERE, I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT TO KNOW, AS WE GO THROUGH THE MACHINATIONS OF THIS SORT OF FIRST OUT OF THE GATE PLANNING PROCESS, THAT WE HAVE THAT IN THERE.

WHAT? WHAT? I, I MEAN, I THINK THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO RESPOND TO THAT IS THAT THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT PLAN THAT THIS BOARD APPROVED LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, WORKING WITH OUR CONTRACTED PROVIDERS, THERE'S NO, THERE'S REALLY BEEN NO SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO, TO, TO THAT EXCEPT FOR THAT WE ELECTED NOT TO FUND NAMI THROUGH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT FUNDING OR WE'RE, WE'RE FUNDING NAMI A DIFFERENT WAY. WE'RE FUNDING NAMI THROUGH REALIGNMENT INSTEAD.

SO THERE'S NO REAL SURPRISES IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES AND SUPPORTS WHAT THE FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.

WE JUST MOVED THE THE FUNDING ESSENTIALLY FROM THE PREVIOUS CATEGORY IN THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT PLAN TO THE FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP.

AND THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT ADDITION WAS THE EIGHT CASE MANAGERS THAT HAD BEEN REQUESTED TO TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE FULL.

FOR THE PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SITES, THE.

THE ISSUE ABOUT PINE TREE GARDENS IS WHEN WE WERE DOING OUR BUDGET FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR, WE WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE SOME REDUCTIONS IN REALIGNMENT FUNDING. AND SO WE'VE BEEN FUNDING PINE TREE GARDENS TO THE SAME TO THE SAME DEGREE OF $1.2 MILLION.

WE WERE JUST USING DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES.

RIGHT. AND SO WE ELECTED TO AS A WAY TO REDUCE THE, THE REALIGNMENT FUNDING.

WE ELECTED TO PROPOSE TO MOVE PINE TREE GARDENS UNDER THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT PLAN AND JUST FUND IT THAT WAY.

SO I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY PINE TREE GARDENS AND WHY MAYBE WHY NOT SOME OTHER FACILITIES THAT WE'RE FUNDING WITH, WITH DIFFERENT DOLLARS. AND, AND REALLY IT'S JUST FOR, IT IS REALLY JUST FOR EASE.

I MEAN, WE COULD, WE COULD CHOOSE TO FUND PORTIONS OF THE DIFFERENT FACILITIES WITH FUNDING AND THEN WITH, WITH OTHER FUNDING AS WELL. WE'RE FUNDING ALL OF THEM ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

AND IT WAS REALLY JUST FOR SIMPLICITY AT THE TIME THAT WE MADE THAT DECISION.

SO OTHER THAN THAT, SUPERVISOR, THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER I DON'T THINK ANYTHING LIKE SURPRISES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN THE PLAN THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE AWARE OF.

VERY GOOD. AND THEN MY FINAL QUESTION IN TERMS OF THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT, SO THE CAPITAL, AS WE OFTEN KNOW, IT'S A ONE TIME INVESTMENT.

TO WHAT EXTENT ARE WE EXPLORING A MATCH COMPONENT TO CAPITAL INVESTMENTS OF SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AND FACILITIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE.

IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY AT THE END IS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO COMMUNITY.

YOU'RE GOING TO DO AN ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, WHICH I APPRECIATE THAT TO HAVE A MORE ROBUST REFLECTIVE FEEDBACK.

YEAH. SO SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. BUT BUT I GO BACK TO WHAT I, WHAT WE OBSERVED, WHICH WAS A PROPOSAL TO DO SOME CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN FACILITIES THAT ARE ALREADY IN EXISTENCE AND THOSE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO I MEAN, TO MAINTAIN FACILITIES IS EXPENSIVE AND TYPICALLY IN A PERFECT WORLD, RIGHT? YOU BUDGET YOUR FACILITY TO HAVE SOME CAPITAL OUTLAY TO MAINTAIN THE FACILITIES BECAUSE ROOFS FALL APART, PAINT COMES OFF WINDOWS BREAK. GOT IT. BUT TO WHAT EXTENT ARE IS THERE OR IS THERE ANY THOUGHT AROUND AS WE ROLL, AS STAFF ROLLS OUT ITS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW WE'RE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE THIS FIRST ITERATION OF FUNDING FOR HSA, THAT IF THERE'S GOING TO BE CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, THAT THERE BE AT LEAST SOME, YOU KNOW, NOD TO A MATCH COMPONENT.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE DON'T THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS GOING TO RUN OUT VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE ALL THE FACILITIES, AS WE KNOW, ARE TRYING TO MAINTAIN OUR COUNTY FACILITIES. THERE'S JUST NOT EVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH MONEY. SO THAT'S A QUESTION FOR YOU.

MAYBE YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER. SO MAYBE IT'S I GOT ONE, YEAH, I'M JUST CONCERNED.

[02:30:02]

AND SO HAS THERE BEEN ANY THOUGHT OR YES OR NO? YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPAND ON IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY. I UNDERSTOOD I CAN KEEP IT SUCCINCT.

I MEAN ESSENTIALLY, YES. I MEAN, THERE, THERE HAVE THIS THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROPOSAL THAT'S FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE.

IT IS, I WILL SAY IT IS THE MOST FULLY FORMED PROPOSAL THAT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT HAS A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN SPENDING THE MONEY THAT PARTICULAR WAY.

HOWEVER WE, WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE PLAN, OUR, THE CONCEPT WAS REALLY, YOU KNOW, WE WERE WORKING ON A LOT OF THE OTHER PARTS OF THE PLAN AND THAT WE KNEW WE WANTED TO SET ASIDE OR WE HAD SEEKED AUTHORITY TO SET ASIDE SOME FUNDING FOR CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.

AND THE IDEA WAS THAT WE WOULD. THE IDEA ALWAYS WAS THAT WE WOULD DEVELOP A PLAN AT A AT A LATER DATE.

THE TO YOUR POINT, I THINK THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE COULD PROPOSE TO UTILIZE THE FUNDING.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE COULD, WE COULD PROPOSE TO SAY THAT THIS IS FUNDING THAT'S BEING SET ASIDE FOR A MATCH FOR OTHER PROJECTS, RIGHT. TO DRAW DOWN ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR ACTUAL BUILDING OF PROJECTS OR THERE'S, THERE'S A THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE.

AND, AND THE CONCEPT HERE REALLY IS TO ALLOW FOR MORE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AROUND THAT.

AND THEN TO BRING IT BACK TO THIS BOARD FOR GUIDANCE IN HOW TO ULTIMATELY APPROACH IT.

THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS, AND THEN WE'LL OPEN IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

LET ME SEE IF MINE IS A QUESTION. NO, MY I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

IT'S A THREE YEAR PLAN. THAT'S CORRECT. IS THERE WHAT LEVEL OF FLEXIBILITY IS THERE FOR OUT YEARS? YOU MEAN TO AMEND THE PLAN? YEAH. WE CAN. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE CAN AMEND THE PLAN AT ANY TIME IF WE.

WE JUST NEED TO COORDINATE THAT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES IF WE'RE CHOOSING TO AMEND THE PLAN.

OKAY. JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LIFE HAPPENS AND OPPORTUNITIES HAPPEN.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. GREAT. OKAY. SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

I'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC. I DON'T HAVE TO USE MY HAMMER.

IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING. YES. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? YES, CHAIR, I HAVE ONE CARD FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

TRACY FOWLER, AS A REMINDER, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.

GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THE COUNTY'S INTEGRATED PLAN FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT FUNDS.

MY NAME IS TRACY FAUVER. I REPRESENT DAVIS COMMUNITY MEALS AND HOUSING AS THEIR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.

I'M ALSO ON THE BOARD OF YOLO COUNTY'S HOMELESS POVERTY AND POVERTY ACTION COALITION.

AND THE POINTS I WANT TO MAKE IS NUMBER ONE, I REALLY APPRECIATE A VERY THOROUGH AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS, WHICH WE UNDERSTAND HAS HAPPENED IN A REALLY QUICK PERIOD OF TIME.

SO I THINK THE PLAN THAT THE COUNTY HAS COME UP WITH IS, IS REALLY GOOD CONSIDERING WHAT A HUGE CHANGE THIS IS.

DAVIS COMMUNITY MEALS AND HOUSING, OUR BOARD, OUR STAFF WE'RE COMMITTED TO PARTNERING REALLY WELL WITH THE COUNTY IN WHATEVER ROLE WE CAN MOVING FORWARD. BECAUSE A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE FOLKS THAT THIS FUNDING IS TARGETING ARE FOLKS THAT WE HAVE BEEN SERVING FOR 30 YEARS, FOLKS WHO ARE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS WITH MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER.

SO I THINK THAT WE BRING A HUGE AMOUNT OF EXPERTISE SPECIFIC TO THE DAVIS AREA.

BUT, BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO BRING THAT FORWARD AND PARTNER IN ONGOING CONVERSATIONS.

AND I'D LIKE TO JUST PUT A PLUG IN. I HEARD THAT THE LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH BOARD IS GOING TO BE ENGAGING IN SOME TALKS SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE CAPITAL COSTS. I THINK THE HOMELESS POVERTY ACTION COALITION WOULD ALSO BE GOOD PARTNERS TO BRING TO THE TABLE, AS THAT GROUP REPRESENTS A HOST OF PROVIDERS ALL OVER THE COUNTY THAT ALSO HAVE, YOU KNOW, EQUAL AMOUNTS OF EXPERTISE IN SERVING THAT POPULATION.

SO PUTTING THOSE IDEAS FORWARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE SO FAR.

GREAT JOB TONY. THANK YOU. IS THERE AN ADDITIONAL COMMENT? YES, CHAIR, I DO HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT.

IT'S LAUREN AYERS. I'M GLAD I CAME BACK. I BROUGHT BOOKS FOR YOU EACH EACH ONE OF YOU.

THE BIG PICTURE QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR YOU IS RELATED TO NUTRITION AND DIET AND HOW THAT PLAYS A ROLE IN PEOPLE'S BREAKING THE LAW AND BEING HOMELESS OR BEING MENTALLY ILL. ANY OF THOSE THINGS ARE BASICALLY TROUBLE FOR THEM AND TROUBLE FOR US.

I'M THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR OF THE CAPE VALLEY CHAPTER OF THE WESTON A PRIZE FOUNDATION.

HE WAS A DENTIST WHO STUDIED NUTRITION IN TRADITIONAL CULTURES AND FOUND THAT THOSE PEOPLE THAT STUCK WITH IT HAD NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND SPLENDID

[02:35:07]

HEALTH. I'VE BROUGHT INFORMATION ON THE FORGOTTEN ROLE OF GOOD NUTRITION TO YOU FOR THE LAST 13 MEETINGS THAT I'VE ATTENDED, AND I WONDER IF YOU WOULD DARE TO RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'VE READ ANY OF THE THINGS THAT I SENT YOU BY EMAIL OR THAT I DISCUSSED WHEN I MADE MY COMMENTS. NOW YOU'RE VERY BUSY, I UNDERSTAND.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU WHAT I SAID EARLIER TODAY BECAUSE I THINK THIS SHOULD MATTER TO YOU.

IT'S A WAY TO SAVE MONEY FOR OUR COUNTY. 5000 PROBATIONERS IN CLEVELAND WERE GIVEN A NEW LEASE ON STAYING OUT OF JAIL BECAUSE THEY LEARNED ABOUT GOOD NUTRITION. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM RECOMMITTED.

THE PEOPLE WHO WERE GIVEN THAT OPTION BY THE JUDGE AND CHOSE TO GO TO JAIL INSTEAD.

THEY DID RECOMMIT AND RECOMMIT RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

RANGES ABOUT 35 TO 45%. SO IT'S WORTH CONSIDERING THE BOOK THAT I'M GIVING YOU A HARD, HARD COPY AND THE ELECTRONIC VERSION I'LL BE SENDING YOU WHEN I GET HOME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

IS THERE ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? I HAVE NO ADDITIONAL CARDS, CHAIR.

OKAY. THEN I WILL BRING IT BACK FOR. BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.

AND ANY WOMEN? YEAH. BIRTHDAY BOY. YOU HAD SOMETHING TO SAY? YEAH. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, MOVE THE ITEM. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A SECOND FOR THAT, BUT. OKAY. YES, JUST A FEW QUICK COMMENTS.

FIRST OF ALL, I APPRECIATE THE WORK BY STAFF ON THIS ITEM. I MEAN, THIS IS A BIG SWITCH SWITCH FROM, YOU KNOW, THE MHC TO THE SAY THIS IS WHAT THE BARE MAJORITY OF VOTERS STATEWIDE WANTED.

SO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO TEST IT OUT AND JUST WOULD SAY A FEW THINGS.

ONE. APPRECIATE AGAIN, THE WORK OF STAFF ON THIS.

THERE'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF SOME SOME OF ITS KIND OF CONTINUITY AND SOME OF IT'S REAL CHANGES, I THINK, YOU KNOW, REALLY APPRECIATE THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD'S KIND OF ENGAGEMENT ON THIS AS WELL.

THEY DIDN'T THEY EXPRESSED NO OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED PLAN.

THEY DIDN'T TAKE ANY OFFICIAL ACTION ON IT, OF COURSE.

BUT I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE, AS WE HEARD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIMES TODAY, START TO ENGAGE MORE ON IN TERMS OF THE HOUSING SIDE OF THINGS AND THE CAPITAL SIDE OF THINGS. SO MY ONLY REAL ADDITIONAL COMMENT I WOULD JUST SAY IS THAT AS FAR AS THE DOLLARS ARE CONCERNED, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE SORT OF THE REHAB FOR EXISTING FACILITIES, I MEAN, I'M, I AM GLAD THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MAKING THAT CHOICE TO PUT DOLLARS INTO EXISTING FACILITIES.

THERE'S OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SORT OF GO DO A BUNCH OF NEW CONSTRUCTION.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY. AND I THINK THAT TOTAL.

AND SO I THINK THAT IN TERMS OF THE CAPITAL SIDE OF THINGS, AND I THINK IF WE WERE TO JUST PUT ALL THOSE DOLLARS TOWARDS JUST NEW CONSTRUCTION, FOR EXAMPLE, IT WOULD JUST BE A PRETTY MUCH A DROP IN THE BUCKET FOR IT WOULD BE IT'S ALL, ALL ADDITIVE. OF COURSE, NEW NEW TYPES OF HOUSING ARE VERY IMPORTANT, BUT I THINK IT'S JUST A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF DOLLARS OVERALL THAT WE HAVE TO SORT OF PUT TOWARDS THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION OF NEEDED HOUSING.

AND SO IT FEELS LIKE USING, YOU KNOW, SPENDING PROPOSAL TO SPEND A BUNCH OF THOSE DOLLARS TOWARDS EXISTING FACILITIES, I THINK IS VERY, YOU KNOW, A WISE INVESTMENT.

I AM INTERESTED, OBVIOUSLY. I MEAN, I KNOW STAFF HAS LAID IT OUT ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR AN RFP GOING OUT.

AND, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY BY FALL OF THIS YEAR.

SO I MEAN, I THINK A COUPLE QUICK POINTS. ONE, I WOULD I MEAN, WE HAVE A BUNCH OF PARTNERS THAT EXIST ACROSS THE COUNTY AND ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT WORK ON THESE ISSUES. THEY ARE ALREADY TRUSTED PARTNERS THAT THE COUNTY HAS HAS HISTORICALLY HAD CONTRACTS WITH.

SO I UNDERSTAND HAVING A RFP FOR THIS PURPOSE, BUT I DO THINK THAT YOU KNOW, TOTALLY REINVENTING THE WHEEL IS I MEAN, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE A LOT OF SENSE IF WE HAVE ENTITIES THAT ARE DOING WORK ALREADY THAT WE KNOW HAVE FACILITIES THAT EXIST.

I DO THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF PRIORITIZATION ASSESSMENT, WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, THE WHATEVER WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, SORT OF, HOWEVER WE WANT TO FRAME IT ABOUT THE TYPES OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS MIGHT EXIST OR MIGHT OR MIGHT NEED, WE MIGHT NEED TO SEE.

I MEAN, I THINK THAT THAT'S, THAT'S IMPORTANT. THERE'S DEFINITELY A BUNCH OF FACILITIES ALL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, EACH OF THE COMMUNITIES AROUND THE COUNTY THAT HOUSE SOME OF THESE TYPES OF POPULATIONS THAT I DEFINITELY THINK PROBABLY ARE IN ALL IN NEED OF SORT OF UPGRADES.

SO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE, WE PROPOSE TO GET AT THE SORT OF, YOU KNOW, WE'LL SAY PRIORITIZATION AND AND AROUND THE POTENTIAL NEEDED UPGRADES AT ANY OF THE TYPES OF HOUSING.

BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT IN A SORT OF ASSESSMENT THERE, BUT ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO SORT OF SEEING THE COUNTY GET THIS RFP OUT THE DOOR. AND REALLY JUST THE KEY FOR ME AGAIN, IS TO, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I HEARD, AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, HEARD EARLIER, THERE'S NOT A REAL TIMELINE IN TERMS OF THE NEED TO GET THOSE DOLLARS OUT THE DOOR. BUT THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR GETTING

[02:40:07]

THOSE DOLLARS OUT THE DOOR SOONER THAN LATER.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF WE WERE JUST TO SIT ON THE DOLLARS FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND NOT PUT ANY OF THOSE DOLLARS ON THE DOOR, THAT WOULD BE A REAL LOSS. I THINK THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, CERTAINLY, BUT I DEFINITELY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THE NEED IS GREAT.

AND SO DOING IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER IS IMPORTANT.

AND THEN LASTLY, I THINK, AS WAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, SOME OF OUR DISCUSSIONS, THE THE DISCUSSIONS AROUND SAVING SOME OF THE RESERVES FOR THE RAINY DAY SORT OF SITUATION IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION.

I MEAN, STAFF BELIEVES THAT. WE'VE HEARD THAT, I THINK, FROM A NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC OVER TIME.

BUT THERE'S BEEN A BIT OF DEBATE ABOUT THAT, AND I DO THINK THAT WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE HAVE SOME RESERVES TO SAVE AT THE MOMENT, AND SO THE NEED TO KIND OF BE VERY RESPONSIBLE AROUND DOLING THOSE RESERVES OUT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'LL TAKE THAT OBLIGATION SERIOUSLY.

BUT I THINK THAT WE, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE THERE WERE DEFINITELY SOME COMMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF THIS PROCESS ABOUT GET ALL THE GET ALL THE DOLLARS OUT THE DOOR, INCLUDING THE RESERVES. AND THAT SEEMS VERY SHORT SIGHTED BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO REALLY NEED TO SORT OF METER THOSE VERY PRECIOUS RESERVE DOLLARS OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS TO HELP MAINTAIN THE KIND OF STORMY SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN BUDGET WISE.

SO THANKS SO MUCH. THANK YOU. OTHER COMMENTS? YES, SUPERVISOR SANDY, I. WELL SAID SUPERVISOR, I COULDN'T AGREE MORE WITH WITH YOUR POINTS.

AND I JUST ALSO WANT TO APPRECIATE THE EXTRAORDINARY COMPLEXITY OF THIS TRANSITION AND APPRECIATE THE STAFF FOR HOW CAREFULLY AND YOU'VE GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

AND ECHO ALSO COMMENTS FROM PUBLIC SPEAKERS AROUND THE TRANSPARENCY AND AND CLARITY OF THIS PRESENTATION TODAY. IT'S BEEN A HARD ONE TO LAND, BUT HERE WE ARE.

AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. YES, SUPERVISOR.

YES, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. AND SO THANK YOU, TONY, FOR YOUR WORK.

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES. IT'S THIS IS OUR FIRST SORT OF OUT OF THE GATE ATTEMPT TO TRY TO KIND OF ADDRESS WHAT IS NOW REQUIRED AS, AS MY COLLEAGUE SAID WITH THE VOTERS DICTATED.

AND SO HERE WE ARE. I WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO YOU BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CHALLENGING TO SORT OF CREATE A CULTURE IN THE LAY OF THE LAND AT THE BEGINNING THAT REFLECTS TRUE COMMUNITY INPUT.

AND, AND WHAT I THINK WAS REPRESENTED AT THE AT THE TWO MEETINGS AGO.

IN MY OPINION, MY ESTIMATION DID NOT REFLECT THAT, IN PART BECAUSE PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY DON'T ALWAYS COME TO THE TABLE TO VOICE THEIR CONCERNS. IT'S HARD TO GET PEOPLE'S OPINIONS.

IT'S JUST IT'S NOT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD WHEN IT COMES TO COMMUNITY INPUT.

AND SO THE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT COMMUNITY MEANS IS ALWAYS TRICKY.

AND SO I APPRECIATE YOU KIND OF DOUBLING BACK AND WORKING A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO TRY TO GET SOME BETTER UNDERSTANDING AROUND HOW THE SORT OF THE, THE, THE BASELINE COMMUNITY'S VIEWS AROUND WHAT, WHAT THE NEEDS ARE IS REFLECTIVE OF THE TRUE BROADER SENSE OF THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF EXTRA WORK FOR YOU, BUT I THINK IT WILL PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE LONG RUN.

HAVING A MORE ROBUST REFLECTIVE REPRESENTATION.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. OKAY. AND THEN I WILL WRAP IT UP WITH JUST A COUPLE COMMENTS AND SUPPORT FOR WHAT WAS PROPOSED.

SO THE QUESTION I THINK THAT YOU BROUGHT TO US OR THE SUGGESTION WAS GOING BACK TO THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD WORK WITH THEM ON THIS THE CAPITAL PORTION OF IT. YES, I'M A LITTLE SURPRISED THAT THEY DIDN'T MAKE, HAVE A VOTE TO SAY THAT THEY WERE SUPPORTING IT OR HAVE SOME SORT OF LETTER OR COMMENT BECAUSE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THEIR JOB. SO TELL THEM NEXT TIME WE WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM.

DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT OR. WELL, I'LL LET YOU FINISH.

OKAY. NO. WELL, I'M CHANGING THE SUBJECT SO YOU CAN COMMENT ON THAT IF YOU'D LIKE.

I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION AT THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD. AND I THINK THAT THERE WAS THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO THAT. AND MY INTERPRETATION OF THE STATUTE WAS THAT THE LOCAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BOARD IS NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRED TO ACT, BUT IT WAS SORT OF LIKE IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A POSITION ON IT, THE CORRECT VENUE WOULD BE TO COMMUNICATE THAT TO THIS BOARD.

YEAH. YEAH. AND I DO, I THINK I KNEW THAT THEY WEREN'T REQUIRED, BUT I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THEM BECAUSE I UNDERSTOOD.

YEAH. SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THEM. AND I THINK THE COMMUNITY SUGGESTION ABOUT DOING OUTREACH TO HPAC BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN HAVE ONE ROOM WHERE THERE ARE, THERE ARE PROVIDERS, IT'S A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE JUST TO HEAR FROM THEM.

SO I, YOU KNOW, THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO CIRCLE THEM IN ON THE NEXT LEVEL FOR INFORMATION ALSO.

[02:45:08]

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. THE, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I AGREE. OKAY, GREAT.

I LIKE THAT WHEN YOU DO THAT FOR THE I JUST WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, SAY WITH SUPERVISOR FRERICHS THAT THE, THE $1.1 MILLION A YEAR IS YOU CAN'T BUILD ANYTHING FOR $1.1 MILLION.

AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, HAVING AN RFP, ASAP, RFP ASAP TO GET THE MONEY OUT THE DOOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLACES THAT WE HAVE ARE, ARE SAFE AND FUNCTIONING. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THAT APPROACH.

AND THE LAST THING THAT I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON IS THE ESTIMATES THAT CAME FROM THE STATE.

AND THIS IS THE NARROWED FOCUS. THIS IS NOT ALL.

THIS IS THE NARROWED FOCUS OF PEOPLE WHO CAN AND SHOULD BE RECEIVING SERVICES IS WAY BEYOND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE HAVE.

SO THAT, THAT THOSE NUMBERS WERE QUITE SOBERING TO ME.

SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO TRY TO STRETCH THE DOLLARS AS FAR AS WE CAN AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT NEED THE SERVICES GET THE SERVICES AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR FABULOUS NONPROFITS THAT ARE OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO TO TRY TO FILL IN THE GAPS AND SUPPORT.

ALSO, THERE'S PLENTY OF WORK TO DO YOU AND AND THANK YOU FOR BEGINNING YOUR YOUR COMMENTS WITH BEING OPTIMISTIC.

I LIKE I FEEL LIKE LATELY I HAVEN'T BEEN MY OPTIMISTIC SELF.

SO WE HAVE A NEW OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY AND WITH A DIFFERENT FOCUS.

SO I DO HOPE THAT WE CAN IT WILL ALL WORK OUT JUST FINE.

SO WITH THAT, IS THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS? THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY FRERICHS MADE THE MOTION.

ONE OF YOU TO SECONDED IT. I YEP. SECONDED IT.

OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL IN FAVOR SAY I.

I. OKAY. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. SO AT THIS POINT WE COULD.

DO YOU WANT TO KEEP GOING ON THE THE REPORTS FROM THE OR SHOULD WE BREAK TO OUR CLOSED SESSION.

ANY CLOSED SESSION. KEEP GOING. OKAY. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GOING THEN.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO TO REPORTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS.

[49. 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) Yolo Bypass Ad Hoc Subcommittee update. (Supervisors Villegas and Allen) Fire Sustainability Ad Hoc Subcommittee update. (Supervisors Vixie Sandy and Barajas) Farmworker Housing Ad Hoc Subcommittee update. (Supervisors Frerichs and Barajas) Aging/Older Adult Ad Hoc Subcommittee update. (Supervisors Villegas and Allen) Committee on Capital Investments update. (Supervisors Villegas and Barajas)]

THE FIRST ONE IS YOLO BYPASS AD HOC? OH, OLIVER.

YOU SENT THAT TO ME, I THINK, BUT I DIDN'T OPEN THE EMAIL UP. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT? WE CANCELED. OH. WE CANCELED. OKAY, WELL, NEVER MIND, WE CANCELED, SO WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.

OKAY. FIRE SUSTAINABILITY. AD HOC. OH. THANK YOU.

I WAS LIKE, OH, NO, THE FIRE SUSTAINABILITY AD HOC.

WE'RE JUST GOING THROUGH OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS. YEAH.

SUPERVISOR. SANDY. SANDY AND I ATTENDED THE FIRE AD HOC SUBCOMMITTEE.

WE DID TALK ABOUT ALCORN'S 218. OH, NO, I'M SORRY, NOT 218 BUT THE THE RESOLUTION TO DESERT IS A DESERT.

YEAH. DID NOT PASS. SO THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE DISSOLVED.

ALCORN SO THERE WERE SOME OPTIONS THAT THE, THE STAFF PROVIDED TO BOTH SUPERVISORS THAT ARE EVENTUALLY GOING TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD AS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM. AND SO WE HAVE MORE TO DISCUSS LATER ON.

I'M NOT SURE IF SUPERVISOR SANDY HAS ANYTHING ELSE TO YOU COVERED IT.

THANK YOU. I JUST OTHER THAN LAFCO IS ALSO HAS THIS ON THEIR AGENDA.

SO. OKAY, SO WE'LL BE HEARING MORE REGARDING THAT FARM WORKER HOUSING.

YEAH. START OFF. YEAH. WE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES.

ONE WAS FROM THE MUTUAL HOUSING MUTUAL HOUSING CALIFORNIA AND HABITAT FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.

WE DID DISCUSS THE THREE DIFFERENT SITES WHERE WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE, THE PHASING REPORT.

AND WE ARE IN DISCUSSIONS AS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM.

ALL OF THAT INFORMATION IS GOING TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD AS A FULL IN-DEPTH UPDATE ON ALL THREE SITES.

KIND OF WHAT SOME OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE RECOMMENDING, RECOMMENDING.

AND THEN THE BOARD COULD THEN DIRECT STAFF TO TAKE ACTION OR TAKE THE APPROPRIATE STEPS THAT ARE NEEDED TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE HOUSING ON CERTAIN SITES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT PERHAPS SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER, RECEIVING A FULL BOARD UPDATE ON THAT ITEM.

SUPERVISOR FARIS NO, THAT'S GOOD. YEAH. COMING UP SOON.

I KNOW. I KNOW, IT'S TOTALLY BLANKED ON THAT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN WE SUPERVISOR VEGAS AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMITTEES THAT WE'RE ON.

AND THE, THE BYPASS ONE ACTUALLY MET AND IT WAS AGING AN ADULT WHO DID NOT.

SO THE REPORT FROM THE BYPASS COMMITTEE IS THAT WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE ON THE YOLO BYPASS COMPREHENSIVE STUDY.

WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE ON FAIR RANCH SETTLEMENT.

[02:50:01]

WE DISCUSSED AND PROVIDED DIRECTION TO STAFF ON DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES.

REQUEST FOR THE COUNTY TO ACT AS A PASS THROUGH FOR U.S.

BUREAU OF RECLAMATION. WE HAD A. WE DISCUSSED DELTA COUNTY COALITION REQUEST FOR PUBLIC OUTREACH SUPPORT AND WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE ON CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY FLOOD PROTECTION PLAN.

SO IT WAS A BUSY MEETING THAT WE APPARENTLY BOTH FORGOT ABOUT.

YEAH. SO QUICKLY. BUT WE ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT INFORMATION BE BROUGHT BACK TO THIS BODY.

YEAH. SO AND THEN YES. AND THEN THAT WAS A THANK YOU FOR THAT.

AND THEN WE DID REQUEST SINCE THAT THERE ARE SOME MEATY THINGS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT WE ASKED THAT A REPORT COME BACK TO THE FULL BOARD SO THAT WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE CAN BE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT THE WORK OF THE AD HOC.

OKAY. THEN THE LAST ONE IS COMMITTEE ON CAPITAL INVESTMENTS.

SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS AND I ATTENDED THE MEETING LAST WEEK.

WE GOT UPDATES ON THE ROAD RESURFACING PROJECT FOR THIS YEAR.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GROUNDBREAKING SOMETIME IN THE FIRST WEEK OR SECOND WEEK OF JULY.

THE BOARD IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE INVITED TO ATTEND.

SO WE HAD TO RESCHEDULE THE DATE THAT WE HAD IN MIND AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

SO THE NEW DATE IS TO BE ANNOUNCED VERY SOON.

WE DID GET AN UPDATE REGARDING THE RUMSEY BRIDGE UP THE NEW RUMSEY BRIDGE.

IT'S GOING THROUGH ITS SECOND PHASE AND BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE IN TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION SOMETIME LATE NEXT YEAR.

AND WHAT ELSE SUPERVISOR IS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT? OH WE TALKED ABOUT. YES. WAS THAT FOR THE WHAT PROJECT WAS THAT FOR LEVEE FLOOD LEVEE PROJECT.

I'M GETTING CONFUSED HERE. ALL THESE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS THAT STAFF IS CONSIDERING APPLYING FOR POTENTIALLY FOR UNDER PROP FOUR, DEPENDING ON HOW THE STATE SORT OF REFINES ITS CATEGORIES AND HOW THE WEIGHTING FACTORS COME INTO PLAY.

WE'RE STILL DEBATING ON HOW WHAT WHAT YOLO COUNTY PROJECTS WOULD QUALIFY.

RIGHT. AND WE DID DISCUSS TO SOME OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED BY PREVIOUS BOARDS CCI PROJECTS AND CURRENT BOARDS THAT REGARDING WHAT SHOULD BE WHAT SOME OF THESE UPDATED PROJECTS SHOULD BE INVESTED IN.

AND I KNOW WE HAD A DISCUSSION, WE HAD A WALK THROUGH SUPERVISOR VEGAS AND I ABOUT A MONTH AGO AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC DEFENDERS.

I BELIEVE RYAN IS LOOKING INTO PROVIDING AN UPDATE TO THE BOARD REGARDING THAT BUILDING AND THE NEED TO PERHAPS UPGRADE IT.

DISCUSSION DID OCCUR REGARDING PROCESS, LIKE WHAT OTHER FACILITIES HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR RECONSTRUCTION, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SET IN THE QUEUE AS A PRIORITY.

AND. SUPERVISOR VILLEGAS AND I THOUGHT THAT THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO HAVE A REFRESHER AND UPDATE ON THAT POLICY QUESTION.

AND SO IT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD, I BELIEVE, IN A FEW MONTHS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT REGARDING JUST GENERALLY THAT POLICY QUESTION REGARDING PRIORITIZATION OF KEY PROJECTS.

YEAH, JUST REAL QUICKLY, JUST YEAH. I THINK THE AS A SUBCOMMITTEE, WE FELT THAT IT WAS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER OUT THAN WHAT THE COMMITTEE ITSELF SORT OF CHARTER INCLUDES. AND THAT IS SORT OF REPRIORITIZING CAPITAL PROJECTS.

WE HAVE A CAPITAL PLAN THAT GOES THROUGH 2027.

AND SO WE FELT THAT BRINGING THAT CAPITAL PLAN BACK TO THIS BODY IN CONJUNCTION WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN CAPITAL FUNDING.

IT WOULD, BUT THAT THAT BUILDING IS NOT ON THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN WHICH WAS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD.

SO IT KIND OF CONFLICTS A LITTLE BIT. SO WE WANTED TO BRING THAT BACK TO THIS BODY BEFORE WE MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT IT COULD BE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT, AND THAT MEANS OTHER PROJECTS WOULD NOT GET FUNDED.

SO I FELT THAT THAT NEEDED TO COME BACK. THANK YOU FOR THAT.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS FROM MEETINGS ATTENDED? SEEING NONE THEN THE LONG RANGE PLAN PLANNING CALENDAR.

[50. Long Range Planning Calendar - recurring opportunity for Board members to discuss and as needed, direct staff regarding future Board agenda items. (Board of Supervisors)]

I DID NOTICE THAT I SAID I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING BACK THERE ON FEES, BUT IT'S A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM ANYHOW, SO I'M GOING TO SAY IT HERE. I'VE ASKED A COUPLE TIMES ABOUT A FEE FOR AT ANIMAL SERVICES THAT WE CARE FOR THE PRIMARILY DOGS, BUT SOMETIMES CATS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE IN OUR JAIL SYSTEM, AND WE GENERALLY DO NOT CHARGE THEM FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE MONEY. AND ALTHOUGH IT COSTS US TO KEEP THEM IN THERE.

AND SO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THEM, THE, THE ANIMAL BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED BEFORE THEY WERE RELEASED BACK TO THE PERSON.

[02:55:03]

AND SO I WAS, YOU KNOW, I MENTIONED IT TO, TO PHIL AND I'M JUST HOPING TO GET THAT HAVE A HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT COULD.

THAT'S A WAY TO KEEP THE ANIMAL POPULATION DOWN IS BY HAVING THEM SPAYED OR NEUTERED.

SO I JUST WANT TO STICK THAT IN THE LONG RANGE PLANNING CALENDAR.

IF THAT'S OKAY WITH PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.

AND THEN THE, THE OTHER THING UNDER THE FEES THAT I WANTED TO BRING OUT IS THAT MY GRANDSON AND I WENT OUT TO THE LANDFILL TO THROW ONE OFFICE CHAIR AWAY.

IT JUST KILLED ME TO THROW IT IN THE GROUND. BUT I WAS NEXT TO SOME OTHER VEHICLES ON A, ON A WEEKEND THAT WERE THROWING AWAY SO MANY MATTRESSES.

AND IT WAS KILLING ME BECAUSE WE HAVE A FABULOUS MATTRESS RECYCLING PROGRAM.

AND SO. OH, GOOD. YOU'RE STILL HERE. HI, ADAM. AND SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S A WAY, AN INCENTIVE WAY FOR US TO ASSURE THAT MORE OF THE MATTRESSES GET TO OUR RECYCLING PROGRAM INSTEAD OF BEING THROWN IN A HOLE IN THE GROUND.

SO IF THERE IF WE COULD PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER TO SEE ABOUT WAYS TO INCREASE THE MATTRESS RECYCLING, BECAUSE THEY TAKE UP A LOT OF SPACE AND THEY CAN BE EASILY RECYCLED.

SO I WANTED TO WORK WITH STAFF. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S AN AD HOC OR SOMETHING, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF OUR MATTRESSES BEING RECYCLED.

ANY OTHER LONG RANGE PLANNING CALENDAR THINGS? OKAY, THEN WE WILL GO TO OUR CAO. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR US?

[51. Action items and reports from the County Administrator. (Webb) Presidential Executive Order Tracker 2026 Legislative Cycle Bill Position Summary]

THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU. CHAIR. FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER TRACKER AND THE LEGISLATIVE CYCLE BILL.

POSITION SUMMARY. WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING NEW THIS WEEK, BUT WE OF COURSE, WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY AS THEY RELATE TO STATE BUDGET PROCESS AND PROGRESS, YOU KNOW, THEIR ASSOCIATED THEREWITH.

AND WE HAVE OUR WHOLE TEAM PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THAT IN TERMS OF WHETHER THERE MAY BE SOME ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAY NECESSITATE COMING FORWARD.

WE DO ANTICIPATE ON ON LONG RANGE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD LIKELY IN THE LATTER MEETING IN JULY WITH ANY SORT OF BUDGET UPDATES THAT WE MAY LEARN FROM THE STATE BUDGET ADOPTION AND SO FORTH.

TO GIVE A LITTLE PREVIEW IN ADVANCE OF THE ADOPTED BUDGET HEARING IN SEPTEMBER.

SO I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING THAT AT RECOMMENDED BUDGET, THE BOARD HAD ASKED THAT WE FOLLOW UP ON AND NOT WAIT ALL THE WAY UNTIL ADOPTED IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY ANY KEY ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAY BE NECESSITATED AS A RESULT OF THE STATE BUDGET ADOPTION WHEN THAT ULTIMATELY GETS ACHIEVED.

SO JUST A BRIEF HIGHLIGHT ON THAT. OTHERWISE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO REPORT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THEN WE WILL SEE, WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO CLOSED SESSION DURING OUR LUNCH BREAK. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WILL BE REQUIRED REPORTING OUT FROM CLOSED SESSION? PROBABLY. OKAY. WE'LL HANDLE THAT WHEN WE RECONVENE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT SOUNDS GOOD. WELL, THEN WE WILL RECESS AND WE'LL COME BACK AT 1 P.M.

FOR OUR TIME SET AGENDA FOR THE D A CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS.

OKAY, SO WE ARE RECESSED. I AM RECONVENING THE JUNE 23RD, 2026 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING.

WE HAVE A TIME SET AGENDA. IT IS ITEM 47, CONDUCT DISTRICT ATTORNEY CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS AND APPOINT A DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO

[47. Conduct District Attorney Candidate Interviews and appoint a District Attorney to serve the remainder of the unexpired term. (No general fund impact) (Bryan/Webb)]

SERVE THE REMAINDER OF THE UNEXPIRED TERM. BEFORE WE BEGIN, I'M GOING TO TURN TO OUR COUNTY COUNSEL, PHIL PORTER, FOR SOME GROUND RULES. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, CHAIR ALLEN. SO I'M GOING THROUGH WHAT WE NORMALLY READ AT THE START OF A BOARD MEETING AND TRYING TO JUST PICK AND CHOOSE THINGS THAT ARE MOST RELEVANT TO THE ITEM THIS AFTERNOON. SO IN GENERAL, FOR ATTENDANCE AT A BOARD MEETING, WE ASK ATTENDEES TO REFRAIN FROM APPLAUSE OR OTHER AUDIBLE EXPRESSIONS WHILE SOMEONE IS SPEAKING OR AFTER A QUESTION IS ANSWERED. THERE'LL BE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE END FOR PEOPLE TO REACT.

BUT UNTIL THIS IS ALL DECIDED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, WE ASK THAT EVERYBODY TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.

NOT NOT INTERRUPT WITH APPLAUSE OR ANY VERBAL COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS THAT ARE ANSWERED BY CANDIDATES, ETC.. WHEN YOU'RE IN YOUR SEAT, JUST BE MINDFUL THERE ARE PEOPLE AROUND YOU AND DO YOUR BEST NOT TO OBSTRUCT VIEWS WITH SIGNS OR PHONES OR OTHER OBJECTS.

I DON'T SEE ANY SIGNS, BUT I REALIZE SOME PEOPLE MAY HOLD UP PHONES.

AND IF YOU DO TRY AND KEEP THEM AT THE LEVEL OF YOUR SHOULDERS OR BELOW SO YOU DON'T OBSTRUCT ANY VIEWS.

IF YOU ARE MAKING PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY, THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE ITEM.

WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO COMPLETE SPEAKER CARDS WHICH ARE LOCATED ON THE TABLE RIGHT HERE AND ALSO OUTSIDE THE BOARD CHAMBERS.

WHEN THEY'RE COMPLETED, THEY SHOULD BE DELIVERED TO THE BOARD CLERK BY PLACING THEM IN A BASKET THAT'S RIGHT BEHIND HER, ACROSS THE ROOM.

[03:00:02]

AND FINALLY, COMMENTS ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED TO TWO MINUTES PER SPEAKER, AND THEY SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE BOARD RATHER THAN TO THE AUDIENCE OR STAFF.

AND WE'LL BE ENFORCING THE TWO MINUTE TIME LIMIT.
