“Could you please pause the speaker's time? I'd like to just get some guidance from County Council. Is that kind of profanity when it's directed at a specific individual such as the District Attorney, Summer Steffen, sufficiently considered disruptive behavior for this meeting?”

“Okay. So to be clear, A reminder that your comments must be, when you're speaking on non-agenda public comment, must pertain to a matter within the subject matter of jurisdiction of this board. Those comments are not within the subject matter jurisdiction of this board and are disruptive to this conduct of this meeting. That is one warning. The speaker forfeits his time. Thank you.”

“Speaker's comments. Ma'am, the cannabis item, which I think you're saying, it does not go on non-agenda public comment because it is actually agendized. So we are hearing the cannabis item on consent on our land use docket tomorrow. So if you would like to speak on another matter within the board's jurisdiction, please go ahead. But if you are intending to speak on cannabis, please come back for consent tomorrow so you can speak and we can consider your input when we consider the item. No, thank you.”

“Okay, thank you all very much. I'll give everyone a moment. I'm going to talk a bit about the schedule for the remainder of the day. Before we begin our discussion items, I'd like to note that Sheriff Martinez is only able to attend our meeting until 3 o'clock today, so we are planning to hear our sheriff-related items before she leaves. Those are items 6, 18, and 20. Again, Sheriff Martinez is only able to be here until 3 p.m. today, so we need to hear items 6, 18, and 20 before she has to go.”

“So my plan, unless there's concerns, objections from any of my colleagues, is to take these items in order, which would be item six, which Supervisor Anderson just pulled. Then we do items 13 and 14. then we would do item 15, and then we would do items 18 and 20. However, that does make it likely that item 15 may be after lunch. So Supervisor Anderson, you did pull item six and item 15 is yours. So I am giving you professional courtesy. Do you want, if you have a preference on ordering.”

“Okay, so we will then start, and this is for my colleague, we'll start with 13 and 14. Then we will be able to move on to 15 so that we can get through 15 because we have a lot of speakers here for 15. Then after that, we will take a lunch break. And then we will do our three sheriff related items back to back after lunch so we can finish those before the sheriff has to leave. Again, trying to take account all the needs of all of our speakers and being able to maximize public participation. So I will repeat that one more time. We've just finished consent. So we'll go to items 13 and 14, which…”

“Thank you so much. First, I just really want to thank my colleague for her fierce leadership, ongoing partnership in ensuring that this issue, this crisis, this public health crisis, this environmental justice crisis that has faced and plagued our region for so long remains centered and at the forefront of our policy agenda here at the county and across San Diego County because We've all suffered far too long and especially the residents of her district who deal with this public health crisis every single day.
