Good morning, Sharon. A couple things I want to make sure that you're aware of. So I'm gonna mention stay mandate of greener jet. All homes within a couple of years are gonna require electric water heaters. If you have gas water, you're gonna have to convert those.

2:10 – 2:46Speaker 5

For people that are seen in their homes or, you know, people picking this, It's gonna be extremely expensive. But just the reason I bring this is I hope we are not now and are not considering charging for people to convert their water use, because I said it's gonna affect our senior people and negative. Second thing I wanna bring up just quickly is, I've had the opportunity to out to on one of this road on the, West Side Of Highway 136. Things to talk, like, all of our routes in didn't need some admission. But then there's, a couple of trailer on the list that I've listed on the register app to come off of one six.

Mister chair, members, the supervisors, we have three items that of issues that are to our engine app post the agenda. We'd like to add those to the agenda for a discussion with board. One is a regular agenda item, and the other two are sessions. The first item would be added at item 2.5, and the catalyst to to allow support behalf account to secure state funding to negate effect of HR one eight seven.

That must be mid April 7, and we don't have other mutual aid. We also have some choose to need to discuss with the board on the CEO's performance evaluation and the council's permit evaluation.

5:02Speaker 2

Great. They will move to point first.

5:05 – 5:26Speaker 9

Thank you. So I hold that some that I have a real problem with, but I just wanted some, you know, just kind of get some recognition and appreciate for all the work that we're working real hard cooperatively. And I wanna make sure that as the chair of the defender oversight committee, we can move it forward. We can go backwards. And I wanna turn over to, and he has some point that would let him to able to make as trying to move forward with our service.

5:28 – 5:45Speaker 6

Good morning. Chairs to producers. This is a very important night for county. The specific item for you are extension of contract with private investigators who work for our contract public defenders. As you know, the county, Penasol County is not its own house public under us.

5:46 – 6:26Speaker 6

In place of that, the county is contracted with to five years ago, four years ago, were a number of efficiencies that were realized by the firms that are underlined with the county. County counters scrutiny off of this public defender. The was issued, benefit all of the defenses. And since that time, public defender of the committee, which led supervisor along with the depersonal offer, have made significant strides to improve quality of representation for the defendant. The I'm sorry to say the proper counsel's grow to be a disadvantage in its ability to actually run a business to create a strong oversight and to the quality of the Indian representation.

6:26 – 6:55Speaker 6

So we've taken on that also, I guess, closely helped the committee. And I think the leadership of Rajatalo have made great strides over the last months. There's much still to that. So this particular item is critical to allowing us to have the ability and to improve quality representation. We need also, and this will meet on April team, need to retain our current contracts with only with us two years. Mister Damkov and his brother have done an outstanding job representing these agent defense. I

6:55 – 7:13Speaker 6

yesterday, and we go met with Rodriguez. So they have provided input, and they believe that the quality digit representation has improved and that we are moving in the right direction. We also discussed costing measures. How can we with cost? How we keep our cost flat or even reach our cost?

7:13 – 7:41Speaker 6

So we discussed adding now third firm which would invoices where there's a cognitive risk, and our tier one and tier two count cannot hear the matters. That will avoid extra appointments to private fence consult. So those items we brought to you on our team. However, my negotiations with the investigator and with lawyers, there's a common theme for the year, and that is that county is paying bills quickly. And that has some of our council investigation whether or not they're not going to doing this with the county.

7:41 – 8:07Speaker 6

Damn it. So bring this attention because it it is significant matter and needs to be resolved. CEO and I have had med discussion about system, but the critical call is the. And so there needs to be We need the three of need to work together, and we have to solution to be able to on time and to keep moving forward quality and representation. So mentioned, I'm hopeful that the will be able to develop a set.

8:07 – 8:41Speaker 6

The the frustrating part of this is that we have contracts where these are gonna every This should not be an issue to be automatically to their check each month, and so that's a good lead for us. So we're gonna work with others as we need to find a way to ensure that the goals are on play. Need to work them, identify forms, paperwork, and deadlines, whatever that they need. We wanna make sure that we have everything in place, and we want to be able to address the defense. This preceded me and something that has been common to a common claim by our council who've been with other pastors.

8:41 – 9:05Speaker 6

So I bring to your attention hopeful that we'll be able work the auditor's office and find a way where county council, the executive office, the auditor's office can streamline us to whatever we possible, and we can eliminate that as money from our council. So I just asked to approve this item, and we will bring forward the contracts for council. The all will stand to 06/30/2020, and I believe that give us needed ability to continue to do our work. So thank you.

9:05Speaker 3

Let's hold the con on

9:07Speaker 2

the side before we

9:07Speaker 4

If you'd like to a please speak hard on Zoom to press 9 or raise 10 con. And have no Yes.

9:14 – 9:57Speaker 10

This is, Joe Pence also. Just want to correct record. The council adjust, now to the board, I feel very inaccurate states. We do not claim or pay for a public fed office. The county council's office has fully done along the administrative audit of team. Now the executive office, it's very important that you stand that the office cannot make payments that they don't see. The have to prepare the departments. The claims have been brought to the auditors list with all the court documentation, including the the contract for the. And I get some burden that the the board stand. You know, auditors has used Whippy Boy for error occurring in the in the clean departs.

9:57Speaker 10

This account depart error, not with with claims payments or. We get calls all the time from the public vendors, but

10:12 – 10:52Speaker 10

public vendors, attorneys, and investigative staff, turning points. Don't see claims or pains in in the cases when we them. This is the basic issue associated with, not complaining. The government compliant policy being timely with, submitting submitting claims for payment to the ER's office. We are very good, and my stuff is very good. Once once claim payments have all worked on get payment no more than ten days. And oftentimes, once once claim are are fully ready payment You're still people this time.

10:52 – 11:36Speaker 9

Thank you. Is it okay if I ask all the question? Would that be all legally as in? Okay. Joe, just so I understand, I update you coming down and, clarifying some things. There we have contact to say the supervisors has approved. It's a contract is, I don't know, a thousand dollars a month, hypothetically. Right? So thousand dollars in waste has to be issued even though we as a bird have okay. We agreed to flat fee of x per month for a year, whatever it is. They don't to send invoice. Still needs to through that department get approved and whatever something documentation needed still that. Even though, I guess, I kind of like, hey. We approve it. Approved it at some months. That is the like, that that is gonna stem. But because I don't know it. We're not department.

11:36 – 12:10Speaker 10

Yes. We do have to have the thing associated that's was provided by the department to upload a claim for an NRP system month because oftentimes those agreed upon amounts are hourly. So the hourly amount have to do with how county pay per hour of service provider we have clients. So different month. You And, know, as as not regard the off is like office have a set amount of control. But the amount's often different because there's other items that need to be picked for that are outside of

12:11 – 12:28Speaker 9

But it was a standard. It'd be set that way. I'm thinking more of, like, the public debtors is a fee. We pay them as single not empty gates. But public tenders are contracted at amount per month. And so I'm just doing, like, how can we work to lines of these so it's less that it could, you know, perform work. There's no delay, and get things kinda take care of

12:28Speaker 1

real quickly.

12:30Speaker 10

Well, would have the

12:31Speaker 9

Am I thinking of that correctly? It is the damn yeah. It's a flat fee on those. It doesn't work for a single one, but if we have the hand, we dream one of those.

12:37Speaker 10

We certainly can as long as the department's them so that those those payments will be made on a monthly basis. They may still enter the claims payment.

12:47Speaker 9

Okay. So the entered in for payments, and that would be set up in the end, though, that every month for that's there, and you guys pay pay it. Okay. Okay. Thank you. I appreciate verification.

12:56 – 13:17Speaker 1

Can I Is it okay before you I just wanna make I I feel like with all the changes are happening at county, there are a little bit of thing that fall the crack? And it happens when change happen. We have to recognize that, and we acknowledge that. But we also have to communicate with each other about why and who's responsible for I completely agree half the time. I also completely agree they have to follow the process.

13:17 – 14:00Speaker 1

But we understand is who receiving claims, who's responsible for the engine approval, who's responsible for ensuring that they do the pieces with the backup, and then it's the auditors office. We cannot, in my opinion, set up an automatic payment just gets put out a month. A imp has to receive a claim happy and by the department. The approval process has happened, then The audit's off goes through. I feel this is a of where the and claims are housed because we do not have an internal public defend or public defender coordinator. I don't feel this should be county council. That's not their role. It also really technically shouldn't be admin because we could have public defender, a path to a court or someone that's on making sure these processes happen. Now this was happening previously by staff in county council. When staff leaves, every benders ends.

14:00 – 14:32Speaker 1

Historical leaves wit. And if that's for college is not pat on, the the type things happen. If you're getting calls at theaters that's on with basis, that being communicated direct to the accounts and to the CEO. Clearly, the invoice are not in this. I really like this a communication gap. We have to stop worrying the beginning first in the main game. I'm sorry. I'm just saying it. We have to start looking out this process. If you're getting calls, they should be not go but actually talking to council and gals, I'm calling these not in the stem who purses were accepting all of the.

14:32 – 14:51Speaker 1

One, has it all been defined since you've made these changes? Don't know. So right now, I just think it could take us back from it. Look at where the pub offenses need to be rescued, ensure that that's assigned, that they could go away. I just wanna go, like, bring it down a notch in my opinion because to hear with the view, it's a best situation.

14:51Speaker 10

Probably best on this board how this process work because you were even involved making sure the payments made behalf of the, court election.

15:00 – 15:15Speaker 1

Well, I also had denial, and I through denial. So painful. I do recomplete with superstars. There has to be a better way. I it's just Munich shit, and during the rules are known. And this all the change needs to be. Just broke down and not bring about winning first. It's about getting.

15:16 – 15:31Speaker 10

You, you know, as you mentioned earlier, it's important that calls out to the departments from, the the responsible for, ending those minutes. So I will be forwarding office to forward those calls to those parts to make sure that they will, you know, that that, you know, payments are depressed.

15:31 – 15:55Speaker 1

I respectfully ask departments if you're seeing calls that need to to a department on a team space, you communicate directly with the departments, not for a call. It was very obvious in my formal when people didn't wanna strike them, wanted to get bone and could is really where needs to go. Jenny, the back to the service level and not push. I respectfully hope that we can get of this and communicate directly to department that blame.

15:55 – 16:07Speaker 6

And I'll be set in a meeting shortly with the to make sure that we process and their communication and that issues resolved. They have to resolve. We can't our and so get this fixed.

16:07 – 16:39Speaker 11

Thank you. Mister Velasquez, keyword here in is streaming in the process. Again, I'm the newest provider here. I can tell you almost on day one, I heard the point about processing payments to pay all these things. You have talked about so many times, and it's absolutely communication issue, but procedural issue also. And the issue I had I've had together is this not irresponsible. And I tell remind you the I get it. You run aparts and before. I get apart. I get that departments can make mistakes.

16:39 – 17:16Speaker 11

All are said from the very You don't need to rise at this. From the beginning, it's the same thing. Have conversation or clear how process works because I don't like to understand how we can same over and over and over. I see this here very extremely fish. We can talk about the same problems again again, and we have same answers from an issue. What it process? If we're making mistakes, clean that up. We'll give them update to clean up so through your mean, they can move on. This varies as to the very sports. It's a contract. Let's understand it. Because I'm a happy I'm not happy I'm not yet. Twenty minutes already wasted today on this conversation that we've had multiple times with

17:17Speaker 10

don't understand the system. That's problem.

17:19Speaker 11

The problem is you don't know what make this work.

17:21Speaker 10

Oh, absolutely. No. That's the

17:23Speaker 3

responsibility to

17:24Speaker 4

This is this

17:24Speaker 11

is the example we have issue.

17:39Speaker 8

Supervisor Cosmic? Yes. Super Verza Yes. Super Fire a vote.

17:46Speaker 2

Mansu, 1.13.

17:48 – 18:11Speaker 1

Okay. I update the team. I have just two questions. I wanna make sure I've received two calls. Scenario that have been giving me what if this grant rocks product in county, and how would county residents be relating to this? My question are about the process and the difference between 19 versus current And are we doing current or? I'm a little confused. Thanks. Good morning.

18:11 – 18:37Speaker 3

Good morning, Thank you for the opportunity to clarify and then for response to your questions. So this is a amendment to a permit that in a jurisdiction with their evaluation. The nine ninety three environmental group that was prepared that was certified serves the foundation for the product. It's essentially valuable information of existing project. This new process is going to build upon that function that was certified by '22.

18:37 – 19:05Speaker 3

All new analysis, new technical stuff, it's gonna be the whole process. The document that would affect the team that need is gonna be used as a foundation because, you know, that there is existing project there that will now be considered to amend it. So for us to consider that amendment and any potential impacts that that amendment may cause, and to be honest, then I can the law were there. So now there's additional laws have been we get we were we were books and annual leases to get all low U. S.

19:05 – 19:26Speaker 3

That come through California. Then you base it. They're always there. So we wanna make sure that as a lady with service of Markku who has has here to to be or to be our assistance as as a candidate that we all the policy is be met. And policies that we have that will consider that was considered back in 1998 was the a b t two process.

19:26 – 19:59Speaker 3

That that will be will be part of this application being cleared. And if there's a risk for quotation, we will we will start that process and but the board has designated can that specific person might include self to be out of that consultation process? This this what this application process will be considered that the considering today's act to essentially consider or try to implement which is the consent to help. And it's really, really rare to find consultants there that help with mining application. Mark, one of them is telephone. It helped with applicants as well. We've cared before, to help help us.

19:59 – 20:10Speaker 1

So I appreciate that. And so when you say, it's the foundation, the baseline is nine ninety three. You're building upon it with a new regulatory requirements of equal. That what I'm understanding?

20:10Speaker 3

We will analyzing the existing conditions, and and we will plan all the new of of.

20:17 – 20:32Speaker 1

Okay. So with the understanding, how how is that change? How the public participates? I wanna make sure, is it the same participation of full blown seat, or it's modified somewhat? Has it it's in a mid is there a discrepancy between the two? Because I don't know enough of the seat would understand part.

20:32 – 21:09Speaker 3

No. That's really good. And that's that's one most important aspects of the sequin process. It's a whole full blown processing environmental that that we per prepared. And public participation is a component of that. And the extension public is able to man at you know, since the case went back by December '25. And we will we will continue the participation set bunch of sit through the public and show to for the fake and responsible ACs as well. What what we do are scoping me. So that's scoping me for the operation of our impact board. We'll admit the possible and all possible agency that may want to provide comment for us, the agency, to consider with for the education process.

21:09 – 21:54Speaker 3

If they have concerns, they have comments for the agency or neighbors or or resident, we will will have likely have some this or alert this or to the sir, where we will have the be able to participate and to provide comments as to review and be able to consider what the impact process. And and throughout this is what when the environmental impact report is paired, we'll also have a five day review period. We we will have the opportunity to receive comments public and responsible agency. And as per step process, we considered we are required to respond those points as as part of the environmental impact report. I know I know it did. That is a bit of a to environment impact or or the agencies required to respond to the though in transparency, we also try to respond as part of that group. But in this case, because it's be the ER process, we will be able to respond to those.

21:54 – 22:32Speaker 1

Okay. So when it comes to how this I was trying to transparent because a little of confusion to my constituency. Well, this is happening here. What happened here in health care with the And I know they're lead the project to lead the things, but makes them start things with. So if is this completely transparent, and and the the point is is that we're hiring as the Correct. We're doing pub hearings to concern about environment impact. We're putting the scopes of concerns into the EIR into the ER response is to build it to public that is found the efforts. And the funding is coming from applicant, but the the applicant is not directing the ER is linked. That's all through transparent public access. When

22:33 – 23:07Speaker 3

you do supervisor. Thank you. That's correct. The legion scene that killed Samuel is who successfully trained this services. And, yeah, we we definitely wanna make sure that we come as a pub. And the policies which are essentially those agencies that that would require us to provide technical studies, which as the legion scene make sure hire the hire the professionals that's known as early have those technical experience injurious or professional with the. So we will hire them, and this this contract does the the app in this county for for to hire the experts, and we don't need to pay the the injurious that, are hired to report.

23:07 – 23:31Speaker 1

We do the the direction of the total based on the feedback from the public. So coming from applicant. We're handling it. I just wanna make sure that was quick because they're a little bit of some confusion that these hired and the scopes were being by the and try to explain what's happening. That clarifies my question, and I need to tell always get all this. I know if it's clear of that. I don't have this question, I think. I would do above all matters. Thanks so much, mister.

23:31Speaker 4

If I take a call in chamber, please have speaker. Please press 9 to raise the icon. In chamber, we'll start with Aaron.

23:46Speaker 6

Morning, mister chair supervisors. My name is Johnson with company. At the risk of muddling up such a clear summary from the. I will like to remind them if there's a

23:55Speaker 3

question for the. Thank you. I'm good. Thank you.

24:02 – 24:36Speaker 13

Thank you, board. Here to kick against that rod. I'm on an encouraging process. Huge for aromas. And I think if you recontract the process that's being out a little bit that was described here, it describes this. Result looking at reported ground rock has met it, terminating which items. There is a significant change in environmental effects that were required for environmental work. All of what happened before in go because it involved the pubs. So I think a concern may be more of some direction that the pub be brought early on this. I think you know projects are much better process than how people can later after decision made, you'd have to be looked after that.

24:37 – 24:57Speaker 13

This is the proposals to assign a double size of of already been bid. It's described as 5% of the land, but it it accordance are huge in Israel. Largely, some of the bigger projects you come forward this board, members of its deal, has potential effects on our. Thank you. Thank you. Mister chairman Sorry.

24:58Speaker 4

That concludes the comment.

24:59 – 25:10Speaker 1

Sorry about that. I'm just a little bit of caffeine this morning. Apology. So with that comment, Nick, let's just go to Natalie. If if swing is done advanced, what are we at the public comment part of this being so that how do we address the public comment?

25:10 – 25:32Speaker 3

No eye protection, super curl. You've raised that as and so, yes, what the screen is the first specs that we do because of at the time, we analyze the application. Initially, the. We make sure that that there's everything that we need at county as a agent to be able to process this application fully. So this signing that requires to be able to better notice of commence or complete within the day.

25:32 – 26:13Speaker 3

This is under project where we ask that we be at the end time even our consent that application very thoroughly. And so we do have scope meeting. That time should only have the so summary of what type of technical report we are getting to all the new reports that are gonna be required to be able to complete thorough investigation of a project. In scoping, any any sponsor agency looks the actually, this is this is what I want. This is to know view as well. Or most of the bring concerns that they want us to get. And it's to be doing open. It can be in prior to that, and they will clear the land. We'll analyze them, you if if really are required. And if this is something that we we need to as as as agents, we will review that and and include them in court.

26:13 – 26:28Speaker 3

So scoping is one of first ask of SEVA, like, to inform the public and that kind of thing for the public and response agency. What is the process of the SEQA view we're gonna be doing? And there's any initial automation we may want that we get from the public or for the response agents, we consider. And if they request, then we're in them.

26:29 – 26:40Speaker 1

I just want to make sure that there and I know on the app and that that is happening for to go scope process. If there needs to be some sort of amend the correct to make sure that's happening, I would support that. Calls would be

26:43 – 26:56Speaker 1

That, I unless there's a I would motion to approve with additional outreach part of the scoping or need to be approved in or amending the contract to ensure scope comp's prior scope included. If I could done,

26:56 – 27:23Speaker 3

I would make a motion to approve. Mister member board, if that Can I get a second? If that's the will of work, I really think the and with the applicants during this process, I'm sure they can have a team that can go out and meet the public. And if that the board will ask or of the can be made with would like to be made or or not, which is committee if that's something that you would like, I'm sure that they'd a minute to a dedicated day. I don't know how to hear it from them, but, as well. Please speak.

27:24Speaker 12

So, Joe, brief I guess, wanna further brief from step on process for the meeting, so thank you for bringing that, Abram.

27:29 – 27:48Speaker 12

So, you know, there's going to be town halls coming up. Total, there's a superstition with all of us signed on one in the. Hopefully, if there's any that would be great. Other than that, I'm ready.

33:34Speaker 4

If you have to make a minute by the speaker, please just start on the raised item And I have no comment. Thank you. Mister,

33:43Speaker 12

real briefly, just for a verification purpose, Fighter, do you build permanent single family homes? Do you verify what price or, we're talking about there?

33:50Speaker 3

Yeah. Thank you so much.

33:51Speaker 12

Spousing this information out in the community.

33:52 – 34:37Speaker 3

Yeah. Absolutely. So our founder of the permits can step from either an additional family is expanding, they want, you know, be a little comfortable so they'll see and process an application for extension. If they want to put it on there pretty, you know, anything that requires a building mate goes through office in in, And this reflects the majority of the permits. We're not homes. The majority of built building permits are for families who to do some true to their party. The the adults and family homes that were final included there from those developments such as Tanner Ranch, you know, approved in 2002. The number of existing were approved. Many years ago, many years ago, believe, 2015. We have very.

34:37 – 34:54Speaker 3

That's the element that's right at J2Gand College that just ground in 2025, but was approved again. So these are projects mostly that will prove in ten years or even prior to now potentially just moving forward and trying to find us or leaving ground as. Yes. Those are those are most the same family homes that that work. Thank you. Welcome.

34:55Speaker 2

Thank you. Thank

34:58 – 35:21Speaker 1

you, Abraham. I know why is it that Georgia at the beginning, you're talking about the schedule on all of this and the cost. In mind, wrap my around how much all this work the general plan costing, but the board can have a better understanding of future, but, requirements and timelines and new benefit. Which ones are best thing, but can you benefit? So I just wanna make sure that fill the radar.

35:21 – 35:57Speaker 1

The health element, stakeholder group has we had a very engaged meeting, probably the most meeting that we've had yet. Unfortunately, it's our last, but it was a lot of real good comments and conversations. And I know that we created a I believe it was a separate committee to discuss the IVC resources for the sick or whatever may have been put in a element with the caveat that keeping us can't put all of these decisions in one box cut of the area of the community that are impact decisions that the board not make. No five a parcel and have been used in. We're looking at producing land now, but all making a.

35:58 – 36:32Speaker 1

And now our decision making on the, of how how many acres you have, it depends on areas. It's just something 100. The board is behind on with the one one Rio versus what city had done versus what we should be doing. One of the topics was put up a element during the thought. It's an interesting bin, something that I never would thought of was the Wilson Act. Of course, the higher group want the king to fund the Williams Act in those state not ending. I did very clear. We're not the revenue be able to do. We will continue to advocate as a board pushing the seats. There's a ton of CRD.

36:32 – 37:06Speaker 1

It's all the topic that brought unfortunately doesn't get much tracking the legislative level. But one of the ideas that's brought forward was getting when occasions to come out of William and at our report should look considering a one to one. So one comes out, we can and keep maybe all depends on how it would be written and paid out and the policy would be that that would keep Wilson alive would impact current budgetary restraints. I thought it was a very incredible conversation. It came out argument that I not up, and then I wanna make sure that's understood in in where we're working with the general plan.

37:06 – 37:30Speaker 1

Additionally, it's it's I'm looking at the gen plan as the actual tool control with. And that the trolling grows based all these elements, all of policies that put in place. So I appreciate all work you guys done. It's a especially the shortage staff in the department. But, I just wanted to thank you and also just give the boarders an update on where the gallon was.

37:30Speaker 3

Thank you for those specific especially the arguments. Some are said correctly, a very intermediate. And a lot of it was thanks for help trying to get the stakeholder to make that they came

37:39Speaker 1

them called and a lot of yelled at that for making people into it. If you really won't have a voice,

37:43Speaker 3

up as We appreciate that.

37:44 – 37:57Speaker 1

And as it started, they wanted to talk. And then, hey. This isn't working. Let's all start talking. And then it just So it's really great. I just wish would have been the entire time. Thanks so much. All the work done on, I look forward to new committee, making this important topic.

37:57Speaker 2

Thank you. Thank you. No more comments. We'll motion.

38:11Speaker 2

Do you zerkin?

38:12 – 38:34Speaker 1

All I can just wanted to comment about the housing element and there's Remy. And the fact that I still feel understand from council, applicant that have made before to certification, making sure that that combination coming at about the board right are on top of build remedy or, we have a party and they don't authority. What are our obligation or options that bring for it? My only comment, I really appreciate, update from now.

Thank you. We have Supervising?

38:37Speaker 8

Yes. Supervisor Velasquez? Yes. Supervisor Kimaki? Yes. Supervisor Sarah? Yes. Motion passed.

38:42Speaker 2

Thank you. We're on to item two points to the Abraham Annual press report.

38:48 – 39:16Speaker 3

Is on the. Thank you, mister chairs of the board. This is the requirement by the California government of the new committee that all jurisdictions provide and how they're leading the policies of housing. Is being the judge accountable to make sure that we're responding as jurisdiction to those policies that we implemented when our housing med was adopted, this annual requirements getting more and more rigorous and specific. Remember, as the micro implement in 2006, and these reports, remember back end, not a lot of it's public comments.

39:16 – 39:45Speaker 3

Not a lot of jurisdictional per their dates. So it was official because these updates are part of the requirement of keen client in in our community. It's not it's not necessary to meet the needs of the community for the process of the. But as you know and beyond that, to consumers, there's a lot of need that and and the adoption for for six saw in all the different different partners that we had. We're doing your to respond those those nudges.

39:47 – 40:15Speaker 3

Farmer housing, elderly, the different types of so this is an annual report that initially for HCD. And for there was just, you know, based reports that provide HCD. Now they're in the in the well, if if this wasn't met, why it wasn't met, will your goal plan meet the requirements? And so so that are really, like, requiring a lot more for me to keep that very, very easy. What we're doing is to And so this is the a brief proposal we provided you, and that's the report in your pack as well as the members of the league.

40:15 – 40:37Speaker 3

So just very briefly, the housing element is one component of the acquired components, and this one only means that it's not yet the update with overall update of the plan, the 20 horizon. This cycle as requested. It could be a five year cycle or eight cycles since 1961 this requirement was was heard and acquired, but they they have not been in, know, count six cycles. We are now in the cycle. Some have been a first of eight years, but we are in a six cycle time.

40:37 – 41:13Speaker 3

And and and part site to meet the shared needs of the health requirement. Again, not just to house to to meet those requirements to leave in the requirement for lower income categories and also needs housing. And this is a requirement that's asked for by the state of California for the to meet. Also present analysis of media housing needs and all income left as many. They had a definite identify and analysis of extinct and personal health needs, goals and policies, as well as reported asset in in your kit, and also preservation and improvement of extinct housing that we have.

41:13 – 41:43Speaker 3

And, actually, there's five main goals of housing element. Goal number one, the availability of housing all in level. Goal number two, development of housing just for a much positive housing. Goal number three, maintenance and need of improvement to keep especially our keep maintain, working and to move forward with with our stock. Goal number four, go house number two, to assure housing opportunities open to all.

41:43 – 42:09Speaker 3

And number five, energy conservation promote the energy conservation method as you will get in December and update where you update calendar buildings in this 2025. There's it's very in regards to energy conservation. And the as I mentioned, we're early in the sixth cycle. The jurisdiction is required to commit an update, a proposal each year to indicate what progress made in this year to bring good standing with 80. So actually, internal plan product report, there's a split of a 106 branch units.

42:09 – 42:43Speaker 3

You know, those being the use. And as mentioned, majority of housing units were are approved since 2010. So and just kept continuing their risk of of being Well, the accomplishments are big are back January this January, there was the group, the code of home services for homes youth just came to 24 that the board approved. And, also, there was a correct amendment with community system, which is economic for helping us program in collaboration with HUD, a federal grant, and this is a housing program for homeless individuals, families, and sublease. That's and so it's very hard to me.

42:43 – 43:13Speaker 3

Also, in February, there was a just a workshop. You all participated in health. And so members of the pit. We also had representative from you, senator Adam, chief congressman Zofman, and representative from senator John. On May 20, we had the twenty three and thirty one by your board and also had the initiation of the general plan amendment for the zone of the multi parcels in the original.

43:14 – 43:49Speaker 3

On May 20, the board also had a mutual discussion with nonprofit regarding affordable housing development with, such as DST, and HSA. On September, we the board of the memorandum of Sandy with AMBIC for three point o and three zoning of most sites to implement six site for rehousing element at amount $79,185. So grants does prepare for the certification of the housing permit. In October, the order of the ordinance and a five, the law and preference, and December, the ordinance, the provision of. Sorry.

43:49 – 44:28Speaker 3

This is you have the the actual of the standards, which I meant earlier. The portion that was the constitution. So the now requirements that we have in the government must be met by app assessment for the inputs. And December 2, you put the you approved this reading ordinance ten nine one to have the high on January 13, which opted the which was submitted to the state. State certified as an analyst. That's the that the, board received it to 25,000 men and Congress board mandated government code six five four zero on the status of the emigrants, its sublimation, and the author of the right plan in order to file necessary document with the California Department of Housing to be developed by April 1. Thank you. Any questions for that?

44:28Speaker 2

Thank you, everyone. If

44:29Speaker 4

you'd like to get comma change, please provide speaker press 29 or the 10. And I have the public meeting.

44:35Speaker 2

Alright. Thank you. Any question from the board? Does it occur? Like, you guys

44:40 – 45:12Speaker 1

So so, one of the things on the house element, and I brought up the last time, is about build a remedy and that. I just want to make that applicant that understand where where legal rights are. And if there is present that we actually work as to make a president about if if the board's link. Infrastructure is already talk, at at state level about bringing infrastructure dollar in to support, in four counties to be able to have infrastructure meeting with actually force those in government. I wanna make sure that that kind of, legislation is moving forward.

45:12 – 45:41Speaker 1

We are being very clear about roads and that roads are, some main problem in our community, such a main concern of residents. And that, when it comes to the overall infrastructure that we have adequate water waste for at, we're not, we're not putting the work of the hoard and infrastructure because of for housing, because we have to make sure we can sustain. And if not sustainable, it's right for our community. When it comes to measure a, how the the zoning update and and where is there areas? I'm not fully sure.

45:41 – 46:10Speaker 1

I don't understand exactly all of the zoning impacts at each individual. You know, understand overall. Understand that the zoning updates and how that works does work with measure and what the state has to understand our have voted for and HR priority. I just wanna make sure that that and it's coming to the questions about ensuring the will of voters ensure a or a four based on on what we already have opted. Okay.

46:10 – 46:37Speaker 1

Already that one. I see the other question that the not but the only thing I'm sure that is the affordability element. And we I know that working to start the talk about and have a conversation. But the affordability element and what that looks bead restrictions appear to be something that is coming controversy about being an in force. Think we'd have very strong And if the board bring a very strong voice about injuring that we're housing our residents in best possible way that follows the legal ability.

46:37 – 46:58Speaker 1

We're not that we can write at the edge of law, but how do we to the edge of law make sure that we are doing as much we can for local residents? My understanding is actual being home facing is $40,000. I'm sorry. That's insisting on the work and fear of affordability being shrank. We need to find a way to make sure their voices heard as stable on this. Thank you.

46:58Speaker 3

Thank you so much.

46:59Speaker 2

Thank you. Mister Kaskey, you

47:01Speaker 12

had Yeah. Thank you. Sort of yes or no to questions. Yeah. Just to clarify again, is any made to actually a progress in the recent areas part of houses out?

47:09Speaker 3

No. I'm ending that.

47:10Speaker 12

Great. To clarify, can you use the board its feet anyway the certification process? No. Appreciate it. And then I would consult reckon the level reasoning

47:18Speaker 12

ordered a gang client.

47:21Speaker 3

Yes. I've discussed with Yes.

47:23 – 47:37Speaker 12

Okay. Appreciate that. And then I just wanna say proud of this, Tony. I mean, it's played outside this misinformation We pro house sprawl community. There's a really response housing element. This housing element is gonna end for their sprawl for all, in rural areas and going to vote for housing orgs and residents. Thank you.

47:38 – 48:12Speaker 11

Thank you. Gonna be back on that. I I love promote version of out of the house for all persons in the county, including those who need the emphasis that you need for a house. It does not say to buy housing for all the. And it's like a county, Santa Fe, and where else have for come or buy housing cash and. So this is what we're talking about. And I am very proud. Board worked very aggressively to get a housing element done the year. Board saved builders or saved me to builders that just weren't a part of their profits. So think about a statement made by Brazos Mickey.

48:13 – 48:34Speaker 11

Work to get this happen here. What in the past that took more time was impressive? Because as pointed out, you have that whenever they could solve it from take place, not shit blame this board for what they're supposed to do and get done in time. In other words, stop this ball and very. It's some happy for this board. So this done.

48:35Speaker 3

I really to, like, agree in regard to why

48:38Speaker 11

many time years ahead? What what happened?

48:40 – 49:21Speaker 3

Got got Thank you, chairman of the board. Thank you for the question. I'll answer as as possible. So, generally, this is actually the third element that I worked on since starting my career in planning. It would be to plan for this two year event. And I began with the only of July to 22. When I was an element with basic previous settlement would be finished by 02/23. So so I came in less more more secure before it need to be, you know, essentially suffice. And when I can we're having a situation where right now, there was only there were two centers at the time, and that there was sent to reload and looking at where that is the hell element was. There was there was no work that was being done on that element in 2022 when I went.

49:21 – 50:06Speaker 3

And so I started to move aggressively working with board and the commission to to get that process started and and go. And so for the board to, you know, you know, to request proposal for consent. An RFP, there's no response because housing element, like, consent board can book to the jurisdictions, then we resent again, and we actually were able to well, we were able to get a consultant that helped us. That consent was also held to city to help us out. So Scott them on board. We started community meeting. Even before we got consulting board, September, actually, our our first meeting we had over the board. There, we had planning commissioners staff, and we had as well. We did a public outreach that started our our process. And and in '23, we had the general policy amendment process.

50:06 – 50:32Speaker 3

With the salt here in COP, we had we had them here with the board, and we outlined the process of what we're gonna do, which in which we did. The major point was community outreach, and we had many of those. It's a requirement because an amendment to to the plan amendments and our plan require community engagement. So we're called multiple meetings with the the commission, multiple meetings with board of supervisors, multiple public outreach meetings, met with civic group, including Latino commission, supervise to tell us a big part of. We had a presentation here.

50:32 – 51:03Speaker 3

So this is telebetter presentation on on farm to housing, which is one the social needs housing component of the housing element. And we address their there is of concerns here at at this And and the first finally had first draft. And with all that, we were met with our total for every week to, you know, a two weeks was kind of period. And HD had a constant wait period where we said they have certain amount of days, like, to respond. They respond and have to make comment available to the public for the public response.

51:03 – 51:29Speaker 3

And so there's a lot and forth. And of our last comment that goes on our third were filed and were were extended We're bringing the the infrastructure needs to provide. You mentioned, you know, I I can't use to approve these products if if if if the main phrase is multifamily health care within the county can't approval. Our response, we do not have does not have this treatment. County said, we don't have a it's not a water parade.

51:29 – 52:08Speaker 3

We depend other agencies. So we make clear meetings that are we documented it very clear in our in our. And so finally, they brought their bank and say and and and that they they shared our operation with all of the agencies, and we're really planning in peace to support and the support of the board, the director of the board, and and, finally, we we get adopted in May. I'll report in my presentation. But because it was out of the twenty twenty three year, the the 80 said, well, we will accept it, but we cannot justify it until you implement program that records the opening. So we go we went and board them. When we adopted the. We got stopped right away. We didn't stay idle. That part started to work on risk.

52:08Speaker 3

Started cover that work for those opening for the opening and being invited to work. Stand up before planning to November and be booked in Denver and finally got it updated in January. It's kind of a little bit setup.

52:17 – 52:37Speaker 11

Being a long buses, sport us to move to make our work together plan that did not allow from small through county for the to keep to take over on the build to build. We've together a plan that addresses that list for a person in county. We finally are to care our rents and our than war about the house of multi mayor from San Jose. Thank you for standing this entire board being soresive about this.

52:37 – 52:59Speaker 6

Mister chair, if I may just couple of questions as mister. As briefly, do you know, is adopted by the voters, and that is the law. You may aware that there has a little challenge to. We are in litigation over that. The applicants of have intervened in matter, and they are taking the or and taking the the role of deputy.

53:00 – 53:52Speaker 6

So we are working properly, collaboratively with them, but I do believe that only the lead challenge will be dismissed by the court. So as you know, we seven build rent products that are suited time prior to the certification of the And so we are working closely with plan to view process all those projects according to law. But I want to assure the board, as previously advised you, the board not lose all their low land use or There are statutory acceptance that allow the board to scrutinize projects in the scope of law. And just as an example, when we're dealing land is zoned agricultural or for resource survey purposes and is grounded on a two sides by agricultural resources, that is where the option allows the bird to exercise their local land use sorting on product. Another story option is where the water wastewater facility serve project.

53:52 – 54:12Speaker 6

And another important qualification to have a cross project ultimate approved. I just wish your board that you still reign your local end use 40 with respect to builders new projects, and that you'll be with any to ensure that your local use authority is to review and action as you may probe on project. Thank you.

54:12Speaker 2

County council. There are motion received accept the ailment press court and authorize director to file necessary documents with California Department of Housing and Community Development.

54:21 – 54:55Speaker 1

I'm chair, but we have a motion memory, and I'm to make I want a council for clarification. I think need to understood either that because, I understand where us adviser coming from. It doesn't mean we have built, but the need for our existing residents here is in term of our existing residents. And we we think in my we don't have a a well, in my opinion, we have a actuary agreement with the because all of the areas are on the border of the, and they'd be crucial in any excess before housing are just moving forward. So a during the taxuary agreement in advance before come forward, I think really needs to be a focus.

54:55 – 55:30Speaker 1

And if this board willing, I I'm hoping that the conversation moving forward. And, I my big concern is hurting existing as its quality of infrastructure, including roads, water, wastewater. And how can I don't have the answer for that? But my gut is constantly saying we need to the general plan. Iron flat understand a world can happen, and it can happen that we can make sure that we are improve wastewater and water, but we're proving it existing and or how that's needed for residents that live here and that's a fool. And I really can't include this quotation. I think it's really important for people to understand. Thank you, chair.

55:30Speaker 11

You. There I so

55:33Speaker 3

I'll send. Great.

55:34Speaker 2

55:44 – 56:19Speaker 3

we talked about at a prior meeting. Same again. Thank you. Thank you, mister. The applicant's respect requesting the extension for the of the map due to the consent the side. The app that control the sickly current process to the county's creation of the community facilities district. The first extension on this project was given on September 2020 was extended for eight months. The government section six nine four point eight b from 10/08/2021 to 04/08/2023. Making this extension, third extension came on 04/04/2020 and then 03/10/2025. Map was in there for twenty two point seven point zero one o.

56:19 – 56:54Speaker 3

Expiration '26 and up. A few weeks, the extent is having the department authority to delay by the county 20 o seven point o o. Goes to run permission to end up under the main coast in six four up to '6 e for two additional years. And most than the can see of my understanding is that we cannot come into this element until more recently. And so there's some as I choose to find out for analyzing part of the map other for the addition of the So that of the extent if there are any questions that we're happy with.

1:04:36Speaker 14

Recording in progress.

1:04:43Speaker 2

Okay. We're going through the agenda item 2.4 receiver patient County wide and cadet shop dash 95 provider in this regarding status. Do you have anything for us here?

1:04:53 – 1:05:08Speaker 14

Yeah. Good morning, chair. Good morning, For you for you presentation for today is county binding system. The recommendation came out the tour advisory committee and to the board of directors for and. In.

1:05:10 – 1:05:43Speaker 14

So a wayfinding system is a use science maps environment to help you navigate through or any base of finance in. By this County, it would have improved the age between cities and the inquiry areas. It's support access to parts on downtowns and a strength visitor experience. Do wanna know one of drops is that if because of signage or anything that played, if it's consent throughout the county or throughout the bay, it may result in visitor commission even as the incomplete Does reinforce any identity does not imply it will be taken over the local identity, so I wanna emphasize as well. It's a little bit more what is, but it's not.

1:05:43 – 1:06:26Speaker 14

So I imagine it's a key wide frame. According to focus on security and safety, it could scale up from a small area to a lower area. It's not amendment built on today. Not one size fits all. It's not like I should take of the city or local entity of the community. I did look into whether there's to have one that was able to with. They were more focused on transportation including bike path and vehicle transportation. Butte County was a a more tourist driven plan, and they were able to fund out with a fund. I'm gonna go a little bit in detail funding where currently as well. Belmont and San Jose, they actually embedded some of their science into infrastructure as our employees and remodeling some of those something we have.

1:06:27 – 1:07:12Speaker 14

And so, like I mentioned, went more on ISO transportation, and it was led by the interarchy transportation commission. They hired a consultant planning design to assist with their planning base. Monterrey also focused on and pedestrian track transit. The old consults of Delta Planning assigned to develop lines for reasons. And crews, use mini design and lease imprints, methods that were eventually woven into a plane. So they can definitely be incorporated into general plan and any cap projects we have in the plan. For example, the car culture program that was tied to permitting. Fund typically accounts typically fund planning. And then as the plan gets established, inflation is phased through growth circle product. For example, again, we can allocate 200,000 of our funding for their funding.

1:07:12 – 1:07:54Speaker 14

And then I said earlier, there's about a session on direction. If we're not that we're gonna forward question to. So Sam Doh County is a two diff approach that we can can you focus on tourism or on transportation? Can focus also on the air. We can focus on way downtowns, parks, and trail we have available. Eventually, our and rural access for our and and a visitor as well. It could be available to a or it could just reach to company entire county as well. This is just a capsule away from map. We can post the prior gate that we have, which is 10 1 North South and East Highway 95. And then corridor where we are Highway 195 And 6.

1:07:54 – 1:08:20Speaker 14

Our cities essentially include and are in creative community and the work that we have. He said key donations would include our national park, and our facilities as well as our facility that's on. A and can be developed to identify the areas. We can slow some of the some areas to. What we're on the board today is considered for a.

1:08:21 – 1:08:46Speaker 14

I'm also asking if we will focus on will tourism or a hybrid approach and possibly consider a program or piloting an area that are focused on a better week into larger area. And, ultimately, just information on how staff move forward with this strategic approach. Next, if we just move moving forward, we would want to have a coordination. So we wanna invite community members to speak. We want to have a signage and science we only have in place.

1:08:47 – 1:09:10Speaker 14

We would have to either invest in the funding strategy or ask for partnerships. I wanna go in partnership as you board with, in Native, and we would essentially draft this, but we do hire consultant what that would look like, or if we will do it. It also pending on additional. As a member's commitment to in it or move forward, but I am finding a board supervisor for our feedback and potentially in direction they wish to provide.

1:09:10Speaker 2

Thank you. I was there for you to make it a

1:09:14 – 1:09:54Speaker 12

I can only trust this further. Great. Gracie appreciate that explanation. So really here, it could align some of the things set the path on far as Nichols and promote tourism. It's just one of those thing we're missing in this community that to me seems like, you know, a no brainer as far as and seeing the form of the community, but also just sort wreck people that are our residents to these binders have a track here. It's an easy way to basically advertise our community. People are asking about under thoroughfares. So the goal is really to move, promote attractions, really promote pinnacles, mode on top attraction through sign. For me, least, and I this is probably true for other because it came from tourism as goals, a tour driven plan as opposed to some pedestrian plan basically has currently been created. The goal really enhanced for most tourism.

1:09:54 – 1:10:22Speaker 12

I believe it need be as complicated in some of these county. We've talked about tourism. It's a set design plan and going again from to increase the team from size of Spark Chaosy, having delivery benefits, local business and restaurants. Top companies one of the top companies you hear other than those that just don't have a thing to do. And so, you know, the goal is really the things we have here to to get more visitation in 10, but generally speaking, and then that's we're here to get direction from the board that we can tend to go back and further find things.

1:10:22 – 1:11:03Speaker 12

The general cons was the and we've told this past that it's sums of pickles themed monument signs along a thoroughforth affair, and we claimed, as Gracie alluded to, the consistency of light themed slick sign to promote all their attractions that happen. Of course, you know, that would explore would assume it will prosper for Gracie Being financial, logistical partnerships with Caltrans, Mombatita, Hollis, or perhaps it's called business organizations and community. Some of the other attractions that I wanna linear out, obviously, there are I'm sure others. This is an example, the Anzara Trail, Monmouth, Coster Hill, the one trail, parks in particular, regional park when that's complete Downtown Holster versus one. There's within Danwaw, you see the state park commission.

1:11:03 – 1:11:31Speaker 12

There's Tresinos, you know, really great restaurant things there. And then, of course, you know, to provide for us and citizens, I think, if there are other areas in South County that'd be appropriate here. And one day, we our dreams and true, I know we want to we lock, you we've roadblocked in the from the state and the federal government and whose desert. And so here here, the direction, potentially get back to our committee for the ride in as a stakeholder combination. I see having sort of shop tours and videos are scheduling separating to bring stakeholders to get put from those interests.

1:11:31Speaker 2

Thank you. Thanks for the comment.

1:11:34Speaker 4

If you'd like, they could just provide us on the list of Stern or least have no book. First.

1:11:43 – 1:12:23Speaker 9

I love the idea that's waiting the and I think we have really I think could add character our committee. They definitely have some questions on it, because I don't we can do this about month. And so how are we going off into this? I mean, I love the idea of ants. I actually did some queries on sprints that are possibly available. And so I just, you know, my question right now is how committing, you know, is our staffing party and funding capacity now be able to support moving forward with this. I I know. Some kind of looking admonition right now. Like, is this facility definitely supportive of it? I just I question whether we have staff or funding capacity right now.

1:12:24 – 1:13:06Speaker 9

I feel like our next item is about one of the sick needs of of some of community members. So to me, the almost, while I support as a general idea, it doesn't seem this is appropriate time for us right now. It does seem like the staff or the funding. Would like to see us, to give feedback that it would encourage going with more of a hybrid model than best focusing on tourism. And only say that I think true impact of it is at stake. But I all think that there are a lot of people that live here never been some of these too. So I think there's an opportunity to use it in tourism, but also to educate, our community member of what is. Right? I would look to be a little bit high model. I I think regional parsha for something that's going to be incredibly important, but I would say not only as a partnership, but we also to look in for funding of some end of the winter.

1:13:06 – 1:13:40Speaker 9

I think we just start kind of a mass plan of what the wayfind could be. Current signage have signage we need. Again, we didn't end up in a fund to be able to do that. And the other thing that I really feel is people are coming here to visit Nichols to visit, you know, some of the different places. How do we instead, like, I don't think we need to spend a lot of time advertising for because people already coming here. Right? Like, did it the thing was full, not a parking there. I my question is I want to is people that are coming to pickle and when the park lot's full or whatever is or where they was how to get those people start when our are here. Right? How do we promote the restaurants we have here?

1:13:40 – 1:14:24Speaker 9

The place that people stay. The other experience that people can people come in pinnacle anyway. So how do we do that? And the capital is from real benefit our community. Get the spend tax stores here, not just at the hours leave, but really spend some to make get down here. And that takes some internal marketing and and and things to think that just, you know, for us to just mark Nichols. It's a couple of opportunities. So I would like to spend that. Nichols is great. What else? Like, how could we be more strategics? We support this. Appreciate the committee guys being this aware. This sort of in concept. However, right now, I don't know what with all of the things we are facing and with our budget kind of issues, I don't know we're able to move forward in a real quick way now being able to out fund without saying I don't know that we anywhere with this. So cute.

1:14:25 – 1:14:58Speaker 11

Mister Crow. I should say We're not doing this today, and it's just very comfortable. Not many clients. It's gonna take a while. We're in, but we all know getting better, and that's that's positive. So we're we're getting better each and every day, every month. And as I said, the very beginning, the two year will be back strong. All these things are ready to go, and I'm excited about this because, you know, it's you look even. It's all great places like all around in or down that really bring people out and people have that enjoyment. And then they little till they went to in ten minutes of

1:14:58Speaker 13

the week in one of

1:14:58Speaker 11

the campgrounds, one of their live facilities in the house. I think it's great for us, and I I look forward to hear more about it.

1:15:06 – 1:15:35Speaker 1

Thank you, mister chair. I I think this the concept where we need it is fantastic as we need to deem ourselves in a way that draws the tourists to where the can be achieved. Some of my to an advisory could be bring in make different areas of businesses, Sam Bettita, even some of the area you have. You know? Some best, sandwiches are in, in North County.

1:15:35 – 1:16:13Speaker 1

If you don't know what restaurant I'm talking about, they're nominal. But being able to bring the communities and businesses to biz council and hear feedback of what they do for them, how it would participate market with us so that part. Also being in, of course, you know, the golf industry. Since you have golf, and it's something that draw some people here, how we do that in with also the historical effect, historical site, and and and the park, how we draw people to areas they may not know are here and and feedback. If we start bringing those groups into the combination, and they get ideas could actually something re great.

1:16:14 – 1:16:40Speaker 1

I do agree that we know one of them right now. I I am not acting for fun, so that's fine. Maybe we build also cog and transportation and have tight transportation to locations and look at big the bigger pan for transportation and working log parks. I think state has to if we're gonna be highlighting Hollis Hills are in state park, get funding from the deal. They have a lot of people already.

1:16:40 – 1:17:00Speaker 1

Maybe the theme of this is real using pickles like the logo or logo that high pinnacle to all this. The highlight pinnacle for more graphic on there. Yeah. You want I was supposed to tell one of those people out from while they're being able to have pinnacle spirits. Then also include that that low impact camping limit, a a ranch experience.

1:17:00 – 1:17:45Speaker 1

You can have a a real, you know, get back to nature experience, which is real booming right now after COVID. For COVID, you know, we have as many people outdoor. Now there's this opportunity that that we have is to get highlight. So I I just think, my my recommend is to the Brisbane Advisory Committee bringing the one thing so much doing it, but let's bring bring in groups at, like, not at which to bring in their hearing area. Not everybody wants to be little touched, but tourism advisory at the end to get their feedback of what the challenge are. Some of the incredible things. Have not been there on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. You are missing out. It's the most happening place in the county. I mean, the roads are packed with cars and people walking for occasion to occasion to have the is really it's really cool to see the same.

1:17:45 – 1:18:10Speaker 1

How do we make sure we're not overboding thing and came from businesses? So, I I totally with the coordinate with, both cities, making sure the one industry is not left out of conversation. That's important to make sure, we're taking away the compliment wine entry and always, you know, the end of good thing. We'll always even or if we make a loop in our community that's something and and promotion happen that very beneficial for all of us. So thank you so much. I appreciate coming forward.

1:18:10 – 1:18:21Speaker 2

Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. I appreciate all the feedback for the two in community. That's the point. Just take the draft number to figure out what we should come, what direction we should go. Don't have any I think we have direction or backs.

1:18:21 – 1:18:34Speaker 12

Yeah. It's okay with the board pulling down the funding issues that challenge. Just to basically give the go ahead just first outline plan and just thinking process and plan is in particular bringing different stakeholders a key as long as board deal with that.

1:18:35 – 1:19:00Speaker 12

if we put a basic mandate, maybe we don't have to go to a. Maybe we're just talking about sense. We're all working about making the consultant part of it and have things that's been quote, double d in order to perhaps go get grant from our legislator and advocate that. Then I just wanna say, you know, reiterated appreciate what you're saying at Pinnacle's. At Poggle, we have started the least exploring of trying to find to create transouts to Pinnacle and eventually look at potential park ride a prospect

1:19:00Speaker 11

of selling this. So that's all. Thank you. Thank you. The input.

1:19:03Speaker 2

I I said include the with feedback and direction. Moving forward to moving forward to to find the added item. So did you use this?

1:19:13 – 1:19:34Speaker 7

We reached the caption from. I request for of better support for a request that is made by an order by. So I have Tracy available. Any to the h one request that we have today, Tracy, would I briefly explain the word how much we're investing it?

1:19:37Speaker 15

I mean, I don't have to

1:19:39Speaker 7

drive over with you. Sorry. Don't have don't have a copy.

1:19:42 – 1:20:20Speaker 15

C scan, AWD, and mobile associations to get to the support. The bulk of funding is for industry funding us to be across the issue. We called in the last minute we were he did a presentation. It's a heavy lift for us. And so they all got together in to how they would felt as we wouldn't for a thing. I am part of the patient. We did receive a letter last night as a drug, and they're just simply asking for us to leave these letters of support. So they're gonna test for thing for spending properly. There's other thing in for indigent care cost systems, and I'm I'm here presenting the new abilities. And so we really understand what's how's going to impact our agency Wallis County, and so ask the sign that are in support asking the fund to support, the county Wallis State.

1:20:20 – 1:20:39Speaker 7

And to clarify, there are three they are requesting to report. One is for the honorable Monique Limon, which is center, president of Broad Temple, and last one is for mister. So you the three orders. I can assume before this send us to the. That's what we meant to.

1:20:42Speaker 4

If you'd like to put in a change, please try to speak hard on I have no become

1:20:49Speaker 2

It's alright.

1:20:50 – 1:21:16Speaker 1

This morning staff of thank staff so much for moving so fast as a today. I am suppress the staff administration actually very clearly on text morning, 07:30 to make this urgent dimension.

1:21:18 – 1:21:57Speaker 9

Yeah. Same. Thank you. Oh, question, though. I was curious about the public hospital system arrested this essentially. You're getting some help. Scott hospital systems, etcetera. County Elability. Could we be out, like, his office hospital to be to ask them to, like, what they're doing this, but also that to right I think is supported that we get going to state could help us. And is a huge concern in our community. And, so I think we'll do everything that we can to strengthen the support and, and get even a people sign on to us and and push. So just just a thought idea. But I'm very so grateful, we are on this and that being proud of. Thank you very much.
