“Yes, just a little bit more data around the statements. I guess just when there's some generalized statements, right? And just kind of digging into the data a little bit more. Yeah, and I apologize.”

“Okay, thank you so much for being here and answering all those questions, and yes, I just, when, I know generally, you know, you're cognizant of our time, but I do like to see the data that supports the qualifying statements, right, in the report, and so, because I think that, you know, there's some good data there, and I just want to make sure, like I said, this is all about progress, and the only way that we sustain it as we just stay on top of that data and culture shift as you mentioned.”

“I WANT TO THANK SUPERVISOR ELLISON FOR THAT. analysis, there's just two quick things. One, I kind of looked at the slow walking the other way around. The people can purposely like not show up to stymie progress of the board. One, and then the other thing is, I think the board is a reasonable board just based on our appointments and the CAO's appointments. And they did agree that these are changes they are bringing to us as a board. So I'm going to go ahead and honor that and I'll move the item.”

“And these are rules. I know that this board is a bit different. It's in the charter. It was voted upon by the people. But generally speaking, it's still an advisory board one. And then you're saying this language is consistent with A74.”

“Thank you, Chair Pro Tem, for your leadership in partnership on this item. Chair Lawson-Riemer, thank you for accepting this late docket. State elected officials are in their final dash to the finish line for this legislative session. I know we're all getting texts. I think they're almost done. But I want to thank Assemblymember Lachey Sharp-Collins for her leadership in protecting our communities by authoring AB 2760. Equipping ICE with electroshock gloves does not make community members safer or ICE agents better at their jobs. It's simply another tool for ICE to use to harm and intimidate…”

“Vice Chair? I just want to address the Guttenman that is accurate. However, this assembly member, Sharp Collins, was working with my office to provide greater jurisdiction for Inspector General's offices to include animal services and also probation departments. So what happened was our state association of counties had additional feedback than we thought in order to make the law more robust and to make sure that we are covering all the different areas that were reflected in the code, that she decided to pull that back. So I just want to say that it was, I think, to say that it It was not…”

“Thank you so much. Just real quickly, I also want to thank the members of the public that came out to speak on this item. I also want to thank county staff because Supervisor Desmond mentioned something about what H.R. 1 cuts are actually doing and who they're impacting and our county staff has been working really, really hard to ensure that whoever is eligible will still maintain their eligibility regardless of if they are understanding of the rules or not. I also want to thank this board and the majority of the board for supporting the Safety Net Bridge program that my office initiated…”

“I would be without doing much of anything because I didn't have the capability to do it. And so I know personally, I know I'm only one person, I know it's anecdotal, but I know what us helping our community members can do for them. I know what people, the desire that people have to give back. Contrary to the belief of this federal administration, And even some of my colleagues up and down the state, most people don't want to live off of a taxpayer dollar. Most people do want to contribute. Most people do. And so I just, I know it's not personal. I know that's not, I know we'll have our…”

“Thank you so much, Supervisor Anderson. Thank you for your partnership here in all of your advocacy in East County. As a daughter of small business owners, I have seen firsthand the challenges that local businesses face. And the solutions are clear. People do need capital, so smaller loans, flexible financing, and strong support. It's essential to back the people and organizations driving real change. in collaboration with Supervisor Anderson. I'm really proud that we were able to find an allocation for this funding so that the East County Economic Development Council could launch the Empower…”

“Thank you very much for that report. We will now proceed with non-agenda public communication. This is an opportunity for the public to address the board on subject matters within the board's jurisdiction, but not on an item that is on today's meeting agenda. The only action that the board may take is a referral to the chief administrative officer. Under the board's rules, speakers can only speak once per meeting for non-agenda public communication, either at yesterday's session or today's land use legislative session, but not both. Speakers may select which session to address the board at…”

Tyrell and also Brandon, thank you for the role that you've played in over the years as we've heard the development of this program. As we are here today and making this extremely important decision, there's been a lot of outreach and we've heard there…”

“Yeah, thank you for the conversation. I... I am thinking through our last conversation, especially around the right of first refusal, which we all felt, if I remember correctly, that that was at least something to explore because part of what the state's intent was, part of the reason why this is not been tested is because the whole concept is new, number one. And then two, the intent behind what the state did was to possibly open up additional home ownership opportunities to people, right? So even now, even with code enforcement, there are some things that we can go in and say, Well,…”
