“Yeah, thank you, Chair. And thank you, Ed and your team for coming up with this very comprehensive plan. That's a big dollar amount that we have to work with. And I know it'll take a number of years to have that conversation. I've never been a fan of that bell web building. I've never forgotten that they gave me my first work rejection letter post-college graduate. So if we're going to blow it up, I'd love to... Push the button on there. But I know this is going to take a number of years. The one thing I do want to flag, and I think, Arcia, we spoke a little bit about that when we attended…”

“Just really briefly, thank you for the presentation. And our CEO is right, we did read the presentation. Really appreciate the work that you and your partner did. I think you met with Supervisor Bredefeld and myself a while back. And I also appreciated Chief Hale's kind of just crash course on just the complexities of fire protection. We have such a big geographical area. I've seen it myself up in the mountains when there's people that experience a medical emergency or a broken, you know, foot or people that think they could get up to Pincushion Trail very easily and find out they can't. I've…”

“Thank you, Chief. I appreciate it. The last thing I'll say is I think you introduced me to a lot of people don't know this, but when your phone falls out there, it sends a distress call and you've had your folks respond. I am ready. If I ever need that, I'm going to throw my phone and hopefully respond out there.”

“Just real briefly, I agree with what Supervisor Pacheco mentioned with regards to us trying to balance the property rights of individuals that are trying to make business in their community. What I'm trying to reconcile is, and I checked with our folks from the city of Fowler, there was a couple of references made that the city of Fowler was not supportive of this. I asked them, the city of Peller does not oppose this. I just want to make sure that folks recognize that into the record. And when I checked, they said they had no complaints about this property. I think I agree with what…”

“Sergeant, just congratulations on three decades of service to you. And you definitely will leave a mark. And I thought you looked familiar over being over at the statue. I think you might have had a hand in making sure that that looked like you or not. But thank you so much for your service. And thank you to your family for sacrificing and sharing you with our Fresno County family. Thank you. And well earned.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chair. Did we, or County Clerk, did you want to speak on this?”

“Any questions? Just before you sit down, County Clerk, just for the record, how many signatures were submitted and how many were certified officially?”

“And so thank you for that, because I think Supervisor Pacheco had a quick question.”

“Thank you. And thank you for that, County Clerk. I did want to ask you that question on the record, just because I think, for me, this conversation has kind of segued into a number of other conversations with regards to the technicality of Measure C, provisions, clauses, stipulations. But I think, for me, it's always been very simple. And I'd like to always put people first. The 32,000-plus folks that you referenced, 20,000 plus folks that you were certified, I think to me, spoke volumes. And I think on my end, my preference would be to put this on the November 2026 ballot and comply with…”

“Yeah, County Clerk, just for the benefit of the public, Having heard the conversation now, it is your position to comply with AB 1923. You're moving in that direction. Subsequently, the language that you will use to do that compliance will be the language that this board will adopt. That's the material that you will use for placing on the November 2026 ballot. Is that correct? Correct. Short of a court telling you not to do that, that's what your direction will be, correct? Correct.”

“Thank you for that presentation. Just want to make a really brief statement to folks. I think last time when the agenda item came forward, there was a lot of perception that we somehow just wanted to have one hauler. I can tell you that was not the case. We don't have an interest in taking anybody out of business. I think we want folks to keep doing what they've been doing. Having said that, I also would like as we go forward through this conversation to include some language that really makes our haulers a true partner in this conversation. I know in the past language has been very loosely…”

“So right now, as it stands, they have the traditional cart service. They have their trash, all that. What I would like to see is having like an operation cleanup, what the city does, where once a year they come and clean up their material and pick it up for their constituents.”

“It does. But it costs us more money when we're spending $4 million on illegal dump sites. And that's what I'm asking staff to do. That's what I'm asking staff to do to come back with some pricing on it.”
