City Council - Regular Meeting

All right. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 Board of Supervisors meeting. We are going to start our meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mr. Al Gonzalez. we will now move to our consent agenda i know item 17a has been requested to pull for comment are there any other items any supervisors would like hold and is there anyone in the public who would like to pull an item off of consent anyone online okay i'll bring it back for the remaining items

I'll move approval. I'll second.

Moved by Jones, seconded by Gustafson. All those in favor? Aye. Roll call vote.

Supervisor Gore? Aye. Supervisor DeMattei? Yes. Supervisor Jones? Aye. Supervisor Gustafson? Aye. Supervisor Landon?

Yes. And we will go to item 17A.

Thank you, Madam Chair. This is a commendation for Sally Sue Stein, who founded and served for 35 years as the executive director for Gold Country Wildlife Rescue. And she did not want to be here. She did not want any attention given to her. And so I'm breaking protocol by pulling this from consent. But I think it's people like this that do so much for our community and have a vision to provide a service and then volunteer their time and set up the whole 501c3. They've done tremendous work. And so I just wanted to publicly recognize Sally Sue. She founded it in 1991. They serve over 4,000 animals a year and have become one of the few certified in the state to rehab dogs. black bear cubs and have done so in a number of the fires, as well as raptors, eagles. You may have read about the eagle recently. And just tremendous resource to our community. She's done outstanding service. And even to the point where I had a neighbor call me saying, are you going to Auburn tomorrow because My five-year-old found a little squirrel, baby squirrel, and wrapped it in her blanket. They had it in a shoebox, and I brought it down and delivered it to Sally Sue. And the five-year-old was so pleased that the baby squirrel was in good hands. So I just want to thank Sally Sue and commend she and her board for all the work they do for our community. So thank you, Chair, for letting me pull that item.

Thank you. I agree. They really do incredible work and have set up quite the operation, their facility. All right. With that, do I have a motion? Oh, just sorry. Gosh, man. Is there anyone here in the public who would like to comment on this item? And anyone online? Now I will see if there's a motion.

I just want to move approval.

And I'll second.

Moved by Gustafson, seconded by Jones. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed, and no abstentions. We will now move to public comment. This is your time to comment on any items not on the agenda today. If you are in the chambers and you would like to make a public comment, please go ahead and come forward.

Good morning, board. My name is Sherry Dadis, and I used to live at the mid-plaster shelter. I'm coming before you today to get a little clarity, I guess. When I got into this program, back into this program six months ago, I came and was worried about people that were getting kicked out of there because they're doing their program, and some people getting a 24-hour turnaround, some people getting kicked out. It all came down to the wire on the 19th of May when I was doing my program to have a job, looking for a place to live, doing everything I'm supposed to, doing chores, following rules. It's always been the same for me. i got told a week before i had to leave before my my six months came up that i wasn't going to be let back in and so i i got put out on the street and i wrote a letter to or an email to my case manager to um gabe starkey barbara mandrell and uh jamie gallagher because apparently jamie's the one that said that i couldn't come back because i wasn't putting enough effort into finding housing so i put in an email to them asking them if we can put a meeting together so that i can hear their side of the story and they can hear mine i haven't heard anything back nobody's talking to me they've told me that i'm not allowed on the property i've never done anything wrong to that program i've never done caused any problems anywhere And my only question is, how do they expect people to step up out of the waters if they keep putting them back in there? I've worked really super hard for the last three years to not only stay clean when it's over, but to do a good program so that I can get on my feet and get a place to live and do something different with my life so I don't have to be homeless anymore and I don't have to be doing that. Living in your car is just as homeless as being on the streets. You know what I mean? It's by the grace of God I have a vehicle. You know, I don't see any reason why they did that. I really, that was my biggest fear with coming here, going there was that that's what was going to happen. And lo and behold, that's what happened. I just believe that if their case management was a little bit stronger there, people would have housing. People would have things to step forward to. Any places that I got when to go get housing, I put the applications in. I did all the footwork. Asked my case managers for help, they just kind of turned a blind eye to me. Well, that's not fair. When I work 40 hours a week, you know what I mean? I volunteer. I go to meetings. I do this. I do that. And I still do my chores at the house, and I still do everything I'm supposed to do. just doesn't seem fair that they're putting people out that are actually trying to do something to better their lives i've not to not to be too proud but i've really worked really hard to get to where i'm at today and i'm not going to let them break me but it's not nice that they're trying to break me down have a fantastic day thank you thank you sherry

Good morning, Leslie Davison. About a month ago, I'm on a private chat, and we receive a lot of letters and things that come from the county. And on May 2, we received kind of a big letter. And I'm not going to read all of it, but I'm just going to mention the part that means the most to me because I talked about it last year. And the title of the of the paragraph was drug use around north auburn shelters and it says residents are not permitted to possess or use drugs within the shelter or service center violations result in removal from the program when concerns are reported specifically around the gazebo area which is what i used to talk about last year the sheriff's office addressed them immediately we take these matters seriously and want both residents and staff at the government center to feel safe if issues like this continue they need to be reported to board members or to the sheriff's office i did that nothing was done i did it from january until April. when it was finally taken care of. I think that the Sheriff's Office, and I respect them immensely, were kind of thrown under the bus here with this because I did report it to you guys. And the person who wrote this was Landon Wolf and Supervisor Bonnie Gore. I mentioned it over and over and over. I went through all the YouTube videos to see if I had talked about this and I did and nothing was done. So either this isn't true or I didn't talk about it and I know I did. So I'm not sure where this is coming from. I just need to mention that because Like I said, I think you threw the sheriff's department under the bus here because I talked about it for three or four months. The other thing I want to talk about is, and I promised somebody I would do this, she has a Facebook page. Or I shouldn't say she. They have a Facebook page with 38,000 people on it. They report about road conditions, assaults, homeless, all that kind of stuff. And something happened over at the tents. And I think people are kind of getting fed up with the crime around here. And she said, why are we housing people who are breaking laws in our community? Oh, crap. Oh, sorry. I said I would ask that question at the Board of Supervisor meeting. And I think, like I said, I think people are getting tired of the crime around here. And why aren't people being held accountable? So my time's up. So thank you very much. Thank you.

My name is Michelle. I'm not really people. But I want to touch on what Sherry said. I used to live at the shelter for 10 months. And in that 10 months, I did have a turnaround. But I also worked full-time jobs. And I am in recovery myself. I had to stay. I have seven years. And there's people that work their best to do their best to get off the streets. I feel like kicking them down is not the answer. I just moved into my own apartment with my roommate, and we're already pretty much really close to losing our own apartment, and we just moved into it. It hurts to see people hurting. I come from Davis. moved up here seven years ago because of the community and i agree the drugs and stuff in that area are bad but there are people that are trying to do their best to stay sober and to get a do better in their life and the county or the shelter they have all these Oh, cool. But they're not helping. There's people that have been there for four years and get turnarounds when there's people that have been there for 10 months and barely are getting a chance to get on their feet. I understand mental health plays a big part, but there's resources. Some of the monitors, it's just a paycheck for them. They come in, they do their job, they leave. you know case manager there's a couple case manager it's been like a revolving door when it comes to case managers there's new faces that in the whole 10 months i was there there was like three different new case managers and it just doesn't make sense that people are being put back out in the street in their car when there's people that aren't doing what they're supposed to be doing thank you thank you good morning board pete davison north auburn

A couple of things. First of all, Election Day today, our primary election, I think this might be more interesting than the November election. It could be because once again in California, we seem to have some quirky rules that might make this parse this out to where the choice is bad and can't can't even think of it or maybe there's going to be two good ones or maybe there's one of each which actually would be fair and that would be a good thing so look forward to that election uh two of you are probably on ballot in your respective districts and um you know it's it's an interesting situation i like to watch politics and sometimes it consumes you a bit too much but i will say that uh Something that has been occurring to me, and my wife, I think, tried to accurately describe and did, that some situations kind of get contorted around. And nothing personal to our five board members, but I have been exploring term limits for a board of supervisors. There is no state law for a board of supervisor term limits. What I did find is that A majority of our counties, probably not by population, we have 58 counties, but when you take LA, San Francisco, San Diego, these large counties, they have term limits. Two terms, eight years, four year rest, you can come on back. I think that promotes a healthy environment. I see situations. Something that really bothered me last year was that January of 25, We seem to have arbitrarily and without any notification cut off the access to Zoom for folks from a remote basis to engage and have their words be heard. That just got shut off. And then it started back. Now we have Zoom again in January of 26. And apparently that comes from whoever operates that chair and by their own decision. If I'm wrong, I'd sure like to hear about that. But it appeared that none of the other supervisors, it was brought up in protest. There was people that brought that up, and it just seemed like we don't want to talk about this. So for that reason, amongst others, I think it's healthier to see a rotation come out. We have rotation, and where we don't, like in Congress and the Senate, we have problems. We have people parked in there, and we can't get them out. I mean, we cannot get them out. And fortunately, we have a pretty active POTUS right now who is doing some of that weeding and making people uncomfortable in that situation. So happy Election Day. Good luck. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Anyone else here in the chambers who would like to make a public comment this morning? Is there anyone online?

Chair. Caller, go ahead and unmute your mic and give your comments.

Greetings, Supervisors. Diane Louise Alessi here in Christian Valley Park Community Services District in Six Decades in Placer County. I'm speaking plainly today about the growing pressures facing local governments across California. These powers that should not be are strong-arming the people and mostly alarmingly You are elected officials to make irreparable, life-altering decisions which are not in the best interests of the people at large. Corporate technocrats are lying and buying off officials in order to replace scores of public and private employees with artificial intelligence bots. and that naturally requires very large ai data centers which consume our rural farms and ranch lands and puts enormous strains on our local public utilities the promise is always under the auspices of efficiency and savings when the reality is starkly different people are rejecting this draconian project study after study is now confirming that what common sense suggested when you account for licensing fees implementation costs ongoing maintenance vendor contracts and the consultants required to manage it all ai assistant bots frequently cost significantly more than the employees it was meant to replace and unlike employees it pays no local taxes buys no groceries here and investment invest nothing back into the community But the financial case is only part of the story. When a 20 to 30 year County employee walks out the door, they take something that cannot be digitized. Institutional knowledge. They know why it policy was written the way it was. They know which community partners to call. They know how to deescalate a crisis at 445 on a Friday. That wisdom does not transfer to a software subscription. It simply disappears. then there are the data centers that power these systems back these facilities demand enormous amounts of electricity and our precious water often cited in communities where they bear the environmental costs while the profits flow elsewhere finally I want to address the argument we keep hearing that we must automate to keep pace with China The framing is a galleon dialectic, a manufactured conflict designed to force a false choice. Deformed competitor being used to override thoughtful local governance. Placer County's obligation is to its residents, not to a geopolitical race that primarily serves the interests of large technology companies. I urge this board to be proactive and not reactive protect us right now place moratoriums on land sales and rezoning related to AI installations and demand full cost analysis of AI agents protect our own county workforce and keep public services human I thank you for your time thank you Diane

No further commenters.

All right, I will close public comment, and we will move to board member and county executive reports. Does anyone have anything they'd like to report? Supervisor Gore?

Thank you, Chair. I appreciate it. I just wanted to share with the board, and you've seen the updates, but we had the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Parkside at Saber City, which is a 44-unit affordable housing workforce housing complex, which was built in conjunction with Housing Trust Placer. And it's just a really great example of nonprofit partners working with local government to actually get some housing built. So it was a really big win we met families who are already moved in some grandparents grandkids with grandparents some folks who really need a safe and more affordable place to live so it was a great opportunity to celebrate and I appreciate our communications team who went above and beyond to help put the celebration together

Supervisor Jones.

Yes, I'd like to report out. Last week, we all went to the annual ag tour, which started in D4 for a change. We have some ag that goes on in D4. The first thing we did is we visited the farmer's market at the fountains, which was quite unique, managed very well. It doesn't allow for duplication, and you have to live up to quite a standard to bring your vegetables and whatever you have to sell. Then after that, we went to the Natural Trading Company, which is a local farmer who grows local and who also distributes locally. And finally, we went to Seng's, or we didn't go to there, but Mr. Seng came and talked about his strawberries and brought us all samples, which were really yummy. They were excellent, delicious. But the theme of it was Seeds to Sales. And the whole thing was to talk about farmers who start from scratch and grow their products and then take them to market. A lot of people to really admire in that field. And so it was an extremely fun day, although it was quite chilly. The wind was blowing. We started out at Granite Bay Park in a non-sheltered area, so we kind of all froze just a little bit. But it was well worth it. It was a great day. Thank you.

Supervisor Gustafson.

Thank you. I wanted to report to the board. TRPA had our strategic planning retreat last week. And the big topic of discussion was the growing impacts of traffic and tourism coming up from both the Nevada area as well as Northern California. So we talked extensively about parking management programs, parking reservation programs. And the board unanimously called out Placer County for our incredible investments. And I want to thank the board that the transient occupancy tax generated up there is going right back into solving those problems. So we actually invest more in transit up there than any of the other jurisdictions, even though we have a lower population number. Thank you for your support of that. They're going to continue to work on a 10-year plan on parking. And the other item I toured with the Nevada Legislative Oversight Committee for TRPA. We toured the Calneva Lodge, and for those of you who don't know, Calneva was the very first gaming institution in the entire state of Nevada, which I did not know. A little bit of history. And a lot of ties to unsavory types, maybe in the mob. All the DAs are here, so maybe they can look into that. a lot of history at the site, but I think what's most remarkable for all of us is it really is the first new or renovated project on the north shore of Lake Tahoe in, say, 60 years for hotel lodging. They're making great progress. Although it's in the Nevada, it does have that state line, and I got a picture with on the California side, shaking my Nevada counterpart's hand. But just a little bit, maybe 10% of the property in Placer County. The rest is in the state of Nevada, so Washoe County. But anyway, we're looking forward. That's going to take at least another year of construction. So look forward to seeing that get opened and how it will stimulate our community's economy. Thank you.

Thank you. OK, with that, it's not quite time for a 930 timed item, so we will go to item 10, a drug medical organized delivery system agreements. Maybe not. Oh, here she comes. She's here. Sorry, Amy. Yeah.

okay that caught me a little by surprise but i was there okay just give me one sec okay sorry this one is which 10a 10a here it is right here okay good morning chair landon and members of the board amy alice the director of adult system of care i have two action items for your board's consideration First, to adopt a resolution authorizing the Director of Health and Human Services, or designee, to sign agreements with Granite Wellness Center, Progress House Incorporated, Aegis Treatment Centers, LLC, Recovery Medical Group, PC, WellSpace Health, JCL Investments, LLC, Midvale Recovery Facilities, Incorporated, and Crows Nest Ranch Outpatient, LLC, for substance use treatment services for a total amount not to exceed $25,382,000 $766 for the period of July 1st, 2026 through June 30th, 2028, and terms included in Exhibit 1. And second, to authorize the Director of Health and Human Services or designee to sign subsequent amendments not to exceed 10% of the individual agreement amount or $100,000, whichever is less, consistent with the subject matter and scope of work, with risk management and county council concurrence. Okay, so the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System services are mandated for for the county to provide to the Medi-Cal population and they are an eligible benefit to all of our members. Placer County contracts with the above mentioned community providers to provide these array of services in a system of care that helps residents achieve sustainable recovery. These various community-based providers offer medication-assisted treatment, residential treatment, outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, residential withdrawal management or detoxification services, case management, recovery services, and peer support services. Services needs are determined after a county offered screening and they are referred to the appropriate level of care. Those screenings happen five days a week throughout the county. Services are delivered in person and are through telehealth means to increase access. Providers serve residents throughout Placer County including the North Lake Tahoe area and use a minimum of two evidence-based treatment curriculums within their programs to ensure efficacy. Each are monitored to ensure compliance with state and county guidelines and these contracts demonstrate Placer County's continued emphasis on collaboration, access to treatment services and our goal of reducing the impacts of substance use disorders within the community. Funding for these agreements is available in the fiscal 26-27 budget for adult system of care and will be included in future years requested budgets and there's no additional impact to general fund and I'm happy to take any questions.

Thank you. Are there any questions for Amy? Anyone in the public who has a question on this item and anyone online? All right. I will bring it back to the board.

I'll move approval.

Second move by Gustafson, seconded by D. Matei. All those in favor. Aye. And none opposed and no abstentions. Thank you, Amy. I think we don't have time for your next item yet, so just wanted to make you run as fast as you could for that one item. OK, we will. We have about a minute and a half, so I don't want to make sure we're on time because I know we've got some folks in the room for this next item. So our 930 timed item is going to be a recognition of Placer County's 175th anniversary. And we have a Megan with Assemblyman Patterson's office here, as well as Assemblymember Hadwick. So just either do a dance on your way up or walk real slow. We have about one minute left.

Joe's coming. He's in the parking lot.

Oh, perfect. That's great. We'll just wait for Assemblyman Patterson.

You guys have a good crowd here.

Yeah. Anyone have a good joke?

Absolutely. Happy to be here. There he is.

We actually have... We have 45 seconds, so we're killing time.

Yeah, we have 30 seconds. Just, we're almost there.

I was actually just thinking in the cars, like, if you have some pointed at your head, which I hope you never do, and they're like, is a legislator going to be on time or be late? And you had to pick one to save your life.

Yeah. It's a thing.

It's a thing. Just in time. You made your perfect entrance.

So we just wanted to come and honor you guys.

Wait, five seconds. Sorry. Oh, sorry.

You are very much timely. OK. Sorry.

OK. OK, go.

I was on time. Assemblymember Patterson and I just wanted to come and honor you guys for your 175th birthday. So we have a resolution to present to the board and the county. And just thank you for all of your work and thank you for creating and maintaining and encouraging a county and communities that thrive in Northern California.

um well yeah well thanks uh thanks for allowing us this opportunity and it's great to not be in sacramento today so thank you for that and um you know i remember 175 years ago like it was yesterday i was just a little kid playing in the hills um but uh no obviously the county's done really amazing things uh lived here for a long time now and you know it continues to be a place that people continue to move here you know and they're not moving here just because it's cheaper I mean they're moving here for the quality of life that we have here you know whether it's schools or whether you know the planning and things like that so and then obviously you know the Public Safety Center coming I mean just the investments that the board continues to do will keep this county safe and people moving here and mostly keep my kids safe so you know I'm selfish in that regard so So thank you very much for allowing us to give you, we're honored to be able to give this to you for your 175th birthday.

And you're now a part of California history.

Yeah. Well, thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Any comments or questions from board members? And is there anyone here in the public who would like to comment on this item? Anyone? Anyone online? All right, great. Then we will, oh, Supervisor Jones?

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for taking the time out of your days and bringing this to us. It means a lot to us in our celebration, which our CEO is kind of heading up for us. But thank you. We really appreciate it.

very much supervisor Gore and I also want to say thank you for representing us so well and the residents of the northern part of the state of California you do not have an easy job but you both work really hard to represent your constituents our residents and work really hard to try to find ways to work with members across the aisle to actually get some common sense legislation passed or make changes where necessary. So I just really appreciate you doing that and your teams are always responsive to myself or others on my team or all of us when we ask for help and say, hey, we need some assistance with the state agency. So I just want to say thank you for all the work that you do as well. Supervisor Dimitri.

Yeah, pretty much the same thing everybody else has said, and hopefully after today we continue with the same team. So thank you guys for being here.

Thank you. We'll find out. I might not be here for the 176th. Better be here for the 180th.

Thank you. It's a better show than that. Okay.

You can sit there. No, no. You definitely do not want that seat.

I don't know if people want my legal advice.

Yeah, no.

Saw the blue sheet. Hey, Megan.

Can I?

Okay. That's 10C. Oh, yeah. Lemonade. Lemonade.

Just guess.

Just take a guess.

All right, we are going to move to item 11a. The board is going to adjourn as the Board of Supervisors and convene as the in-home supportive services public authority. And we have Amy again.

Good morning again. Yes, Amy Ellis with the Adult System of Care. Just one action item for your consideration is to adopt a resolution authorizing the chair of the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority Board to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with United Domestic Workers of America, UDW, AFSCME Local 3930 AFL-CIO for the period of January 1st, 2026 through June 30th, 2028. So the Home Supportive Services Public Authority was established on December 3rd, 2002 as required by California Welfare and Institution Code Section 12302.25. The public authority is a separate legal entity whose purpose is to provide assistance to IHSS recipients in finding independent home care providers through the establishment of a registry, the investigation of the qualifications and background of potential providers, the establishment of a referral system under which providers shall be referred to recipients, and the provision of training for recipients and providers. In addition, for the purpose of labor negotiations regarding wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. The Public Authority is deemed to be the employer of record for IHSS independent providers. The IHSS Public Authority recognizes UDW as the exclusive representative of the IHSS independent providers of the County of Placer. This MOU formalizes the employer-employee relationship defined in law between Placer County IHSS Public Authority and UDW. The previous MOU was for a period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. So the county and UDW reached agreement on a new MOU that establishes their rates for the coming future. And so the fiscal impact of $2,635,234 and increased possible total compensation costs. is dependent upon the utilization of the services provided. Costs and funding are included in the fiscal year 25-26 budget. Additional increased costs of $1,118,673 in fiscal year 26-27 and about 1.5 in fiscal year 27-28 are anticipated. These costs will be funded with a 50% general fund contribution and a 50% from the 1991 Social Services realignment. Any additional costs not included in the fiscal year 26-27 requested budget will be brought forward as a budget amendment with future costs, including subsequent budgets. Happy to answer any questions.

Thank you, Amy. And I just have to say I'm so happy that an agreement was made. IHSS workers are amazing and they take care of our most precious people. And so I'm really thankful that an agreement was made and that all parties are content with that.

So, Supervisor Gore. Thank you, Chair. And I also wanted to say thank you to the IHHS workers who came several times to our board to share their stories and the work that they do. It's probably never enough compensation, but at the same time, I'm so pleased that we are able to increase the rates that they receive and really appreciate them sharing with us their stories, coming to advocate and all of their hard work. So thank you for getting us to this point today.

Is there anyone in the public who would like to comment on this item? And anyone online?

Yes, Chair. Caller, go ahead and unmute your mic and give your comments.

I'm just most curious about this seems like quite an increase and I'm not really clear exactly where those funds are being allocated is it only in the administration in this agreement or is it actually going to trickle out somehow or other to increase the hourly rate that the caretakers are going to be receiving because currently it is although it is a wonderful system I think it the workers should be being paid more than they are at this current time so to just have a contract that only you know benefits the administration level and doesn't trickle out to the actual workers through these through this program. So if you could illuminate me a little bit or elucidate me a little bit more on that, I'd appreciate it. Thank you, Amy.

Yes, good question. Thank you, Amy. Want to answer?

Yeah, 100% of this increase in funds directly goes to the benefit of the providers of this service through either an increase in wage or benefits. There's some a benefit package increase as well included in this total.

Great thank you and and no one else online.

No chair.

And I will go ahead and close public comment and bring it back to the board for action.

I'll move approval of the item.

I'll second. Sorry. Moved by Gore, seconded by Gustafson. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed and no abstentions. Thank you, Amy. The board will now adjourn as the in-home supportive services public authority and reconvene as the Board of Supervisors. And we will move to our 940 timed item, a proclamation honoring June 17th as Placer Protect Day. And I am going to wait for Mr. Dyer to come up and see. Sorry. I think you want to comment first or you want to wait till after him? I'm going to kick it over to Supervisor Jones real quick. She had a few comments she wanted to make.

Well, I'll just mention here that we're here today to approve a proclamation establishing June 17, 2026 as Placer Protect Day in honor of the program's 10-year anniversary. And I will just introduce it that way and we'll take it away.

Well, thank you. You stole my opening line. Thank you very much. But good morning. Good morning, Madam Chair. Good morning, board members. Good morning, County Council, CEO, Madam Clerk. Wonderful to see you all. We are here for two things. Number one, to declare June 17th Protect Day in Placer County and two and more significantly to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Placer Protect. I will recognize our large group that is involved in protect here in a moment, but for for those who don't know protect is our. Elder Abuse Task Force Providing Resources and Outreach to Elderly Citizens Together is what it stands for. I will open with a quote from Mahatma Gandhi who says, The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members. I will take exception with one word, vulnerable. I will say our most wise members of our society. But today we celebrate an incredible 10 years of placer county living up to that measure of work through placer county protect we celebrate 10 years of collaboration commitment unwavering dedication to protecting our senior community for the past decade the district attorney's office adult protective services law enforcement victim advocates health care providers probation officers community organizations financial institutions and countless community partners have worked side by side with one shared mission to protect our seniors, support victims, and ensure older adults are treated with dignity and respect. Plaster Protect was built on a simple but powerful truth. Elder abuse cannot be solved by any one agency acting alone. It requires communication. It requires trust. It requires education. It requires outreach. It requires coordinated action. Over the last 10 years this partnership has become a model for what can happen when the community comes together with purpose and commitment and I will say this is perhaps one of the most frequent things that I am asked about in my role as District Attorney is the role of Placer Protect in helping our senior citizens. The success of Placer Protect is not measured simply by the number of cases investigated, it's measured by the lives protected. It's measured by the seniors empowered to recognize and avoid scams, victims connected with services and support, families guided through difficult circumstances, vulnerable older adults. Come on in. Vulnerable older adults protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Older adults given the opportunity to age with greater safety, security, independence, and peace of mind. Because of this partnership, Placer County is a safer place to grow older. And this work has never been more important. Placer County is home to one of the fastest growing senior populations. Nearly one in five residents is over the age of 65. That number continues to rise every year. Our world is getting older and wiser. Our community grows and ages, so too does our responsibility. Our responsibility to ensure that seniors can live safely, shop safely, retire peacefully, remain connected to the resources they need, and continue to thrive in the communities they helped build. Today, we proudly recognize the people and partnerships that have spent the last decade making Placer County a safer place for older adults to live, work, shop, and retire. I will recognize our two leaders of Placer Protect, recently and newly promoted supervising Deputy District Attorney Shannon Quigley with the Placer County District Attorney's Office. And Investigative Assistant Placer County Investigative Assistant Cassidy Paganucci, who is also here. We recognize also the professionals, advocates, investigators, social workers, health care providers, volunteers, and community leaders who make this work possible every day. And we are joined by an outstanding and mighty crew of those. I'm going to ask everyone here today with Placer Protect to please stand and be recognized. To our PROTECT crew, your partnership has changed lives and your work has strengthened our community. As we look ahead, our work is not finished. The challenges facing seniors continue to evolve. Scams become more sophisticated. Financial exploitation becomes more complex. Isolation and vulnerability remain real concerns. We must continue to grow and adapt. We hope to expand Protect's outreach, education, investigative resources, and victim support services to meet the needs of our ever-growing senior population. We want every senior in Placer County to know you are not alone. Help is available and this community stands beside you. As June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month, it is a time to raise awareness, strengthen partnerships, and renew our commitment to protecting older adults. And today, as we declare June 17th as Placer Protect Day in Placer County, Let this proclamation serve as both a celebration and a promise. A celebration of 10 years of success and a promise that we will continue protecting seniors, supporting victims, holding offenders accountable, and ensuring older adults can age with dignity, safety, security, and respect. The seniors we honor today are not merely residents of our county. They're the builders of our neighborhoods. They're the founders of our businesses, the veterans who defended our freedoms, the teachers who educate our children, the parents and grandparents who shaped our lives. Protecting them is not simply a responsibility. It's a reflection of who we are. A society that does not value its oldest people denies its roots and endangers its future. That's Nelson Mandela. And my favorite is Mark Twain. Do not regret growing older. It's a privilege denied to too many. Congratulations to Placer Protect and all of its partners on 10 remarkable years of service, partnership, and impact. They have saved lives each and every day. They have empowered our seniors to grow and age with dignity and respect. It is a model that is duplicated and replicated across the state. When people will look to empower their seniors and try and save lives, they look to Placer County and the folks sitting in this audience behind me as a way to do it right. So I couldn't be more proud I am going to put Shannon Quigley on the spot. I told her she could say a few words. She said, no, thank you. And I said, well, I'm giving you notice that I am going to at least put you on the spot. So at least I gave her a heads up. But it really wouldn't be complete to celebrate Protect without hearing from Shannon. So I am going to put you on the spot and give you the microphone for a few words.

Because everyone wants to follow Morgan Garrett. I will say for the last 10 years, I've had the privilege of working with amazing people who don't just show up and do a job. they pour their heart and soul into everything that they do. And that's why this team works. I'm gonna get emotional. These are the people that answer the phone. They brainstorm, they problem solve, they are willing to come up with creative solutions to help our seniors, and they always put our seniors first. And it is because of them and that passion that this team works. And it's not just a single agency, it's individuals within that agency that collaborate and pull that team together. I am grateful to Morgan because he's allowed us to reach not just prosecution, right, most DA's offices focus on prosecution, but we've reached past that and we've invested in outreach and education and things in our community to try to protect our seniors so that they don't become victims of abuse. And Cassidy, uh has taken the last few years and she has made our team just blossom and grow in ways that i could have never imagined so i'm very grateful to the team behind me because i think they don't just show up for their jobs but they restore dignity they provide peace they seek justice and every day they are impacting the lives of our seniors so i am very blessed to have spent the last 10 years working with them but i'm super excited to see what the next 10 years might hold Thank you.

And with that, since I can't speak without putting in a plug for something, I will remind everyone of the Senior Resources Fair that we have every year on September 24th from 10 to 2 at MIDU. We're over 70 providers providing resources, advice, and comfort and care to our senior community. So put that on the calendars. Most of you will see you there. And with that, I will turn it back to the board for the proclamation. Thank you.

Great. Thank you, Morgan. Any questions or comments yet from board members? I will go ahead, Supervisor Jones.

I just want to mention thank you, Shannon, for letting me be part of Placer Protect for the last 10 years. I've done a lot of things, like serving breakfast burritos to seniors in front of the old Sears store in the mall, right? And Al, thanks for being a partner. Al and I joined Older Adult Advisory Commission the same year. long time ago more than ten years ago so just being part of part of your pathway to serving elders the very first time we didn't have too much and then we just kept you kept growing and growing and growing it's become a really a wonderful thing and I'll never forget one of your people who retired, I don't want to say her name, but her mom stepped up to do photos as an abused elder, and they put makeup on her and looked like she was beaten and everything, which was very, very interesting. And then she came to the fair, and she was quite a hoot. She really enjoyed that. So all the things that have been done to make this a great affair, it's just been wonderful, and I thank you for letting me be a part of it.

I will open it up for public comment on this item. Is there anyone here in the public who would like to comment on this? And is there anyone online? OK. And I will say once again, our district attorney's office just blows me away at what you do for the community. And, you know, really have to say this particular topic is of special importance to me right now. And so I just really appreciate the work that you do. and want to say thank you for your commitment to as you mentioned not just focusing on the prosecution side of things but focusing on outreach and reaching people who need to hear your message so thank you i'm going to just anyone else who would like to comment on this item okay well these are happy tears these are happy tears today happy tears thank you so much and i will bring it back to the board for a vote well you would like me to read if you would like to read it into the record i would like to read it because it's something people really need to know about

Thank you Supervisor Jones. With that is there a motion?

I'll make that, proudly make that motion to approve. I'll second.

Moved by Jones, seconded by DiMattei. All those in favor? Aye. None opposed and no abstentions. Do you want to pop down there? Sure.

sure protecting we'll do a quick one here and then if the team can gather outside we'll do an entire protecting photo if that's okay

You're the next one on the agenda. That's true, it's my next item. All right, let's do a giant group photo. Come on up, everybody. Here, I'll go back. Stand on my toes. I know, I'm like, oh, do I go? No, no, we're standing on our tiptoes. Come on, come on, come on.

You can stand up there, too. You guys can go stand up on top.

Do you want him up on the back there? Oh, jeez. That's right. And again, one, two, and Congratulations, by the way. How long has it been? Oh, okay. Yay! Awesome. Yeah, okay. Congrats.

I'm so glad that you measured the burritos. Remember the library? It's always easy.

Go girl.

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay, we will get to our 950 timed item post retirement employment resolution for Jennifer out.

Thank you. Good morning. Morgan Geyer, your Placer County district attorney. I apologize. It got quieter in here, but it's going to get louder out there with the protect team. But I will be quick, since we went a little long on the first item. This is a request for the board to adopt a resolution authorizing the district attorney's office to offer Jennifer Oh post-retirement employment prior to the California public employee retirement system required 180-day wait period. Many of you know Jennifer Oh. She is a recently retired assistant chief deputy in our office. She created almost single-handedly our intern program in the DA's office. When I took over over six years ago, we had A non-existent intern program, we had no relationship with our local law schools and in a time where recruitment and retention of prosecutors is incredibly difficult, we needed to begin an internship program and Jenny made it her mission. We are short staffed right now. Building an internship program is the pipeline to build local prosecutors to live, intern in our county and ultimately become prosecutors. We are now on our sixth or seventh intern, who is now a full-time sworn deputy DA in Placer County. And that number will grow each year as long as we keep the program running. With Jenny O's retirement and our vacancy rate, we have a hard time shepherding. Literally, we have, I think, 20 interns from undergraduate to law school in our office right now. We rely upon them. They are essentially critical. Jenny developed training protocols and charging guidelines. They are an integral part of our functioning and that will ultimately lead to staffing as deputy DAs as they continue to pass the bar and we want to keep that going. So our request is to hire Jenny back as a extra help employee to help navigate the transition as we bring a new group of leaders up into our office so that she can shepherd it through this phase and get the program, keep the program running. The second item is she is also engaged in a very complex theft of Bitcoin case, which is the first one for our county. It required her to go to training. She's established relationship as an elder abuse case, and she is going to see that through as well. So for those two reasons, we would really like to bring her on before that 180 days to keep our internship program running and to keep continuity with that incredibly technical case that would be a waste of resources and devastating to our victims to switch prosecutors at this moment. So with that, I'll leave it to the board and answer any questions that you may have.

All right. It sounds like a great program she's running. Any questions or comments from board members? And anyone in the public who would like to comment on this item? Anyone online? All right. Was it already registered in the record? Did you already read it?

I did.

OK. I'll move approval. All right. Moved by Gustafsson, seconded by Jones. And it sounds like you have a comment you'd like to make.

I would like to have. This is wonderful that you have an internship program. I know in law school, it was everybody's desire to be able to get that internship in the prosecutor's office. Although I didn't intern in a prosecutor's office, it was in a small claims court doing mediation. Those are so valuable because that is where I went with that. I admire this person for what she's done in creating this. That's extremely valuable to any organization.

Thank you. I will just add, yesterday we had a new crew of interns start. And one of the interns is a multi-year returning intern. He's now going into his second year of law school. And the new deputy DAs who were interns last year that were just sworn in came in to say hello. And he said, I interned with them a few years ago. And every intern's eyes lit up knowing That if you put your time in at the Placer County DA's office, do a good job, there's a very real chance that when you pass the bar, you get sworn in as a prosecutor and get to serve your community that you interned in and sort of got your legs underneath you. So it has a real effect.

And when you turn around, there's some members of our youth commission here who might be interested in law school and future internships.

Shameless plug, see me after.

That's right. That's wonderful.

Okay, it's been moved and seconded. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed and no abstentions. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

All right, we will move to our 10 o'clock timed item, Item 4A, Update to Treasurer Tax Collector's Office Schedule of Fees.

Good morning, Madam Chair, Honorable Board, Daniel, Clayton. I am Tristan Butcher, Placer County Treasury Tax Collector. Today's item I have before you is the action requested for your consideration is conduct a public hearing to consider adoption of a resolution updating the Treasury Tax Collector's schedule of fees in accordance with Placer County Code Section 2.116.090. I don't know why that got so complicated, but it did there at the end. So this was part of our fee study update that we did last year that we would come back annually. In that update that we completed last year, we actually moved from an ordinance to a resolution like we have today. The goal there was that we were able to update our fees annually based on our current processes and our current costs to ensure that the office is recovering as much of our costs as possible. Today's item includes an additional five new administrative fees. Those fees are for collecting delinquent unsecured property taxes. They are timely costs that we have in our office when we are pursuing the collection of those. So it's helping us recover some of those additional costs. The existing fees were recalculated using a cost-based fee model that incorporates direct and indirect personnel costs, the fully loaded hourly rates, our estimated staff time required for each service, and our annual service volumes. The estimated for the fiscal impact, the estimated additional cost recovery is approximately $93,000 each year.

new and updated fees would become effective july 3rd if uh so approved by your board and with that i'd be happy to answer any questions you may have all right questions or comments from board members and is there anyone here in the public who would like to comment on this item is there anyone online okay we'll bring it back to the board

I'll move approval of the item. I'll second.

Move by Gore, seconded by Gustafson. All those in favor? Aye. None opposed and no abstentions. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

All right. We will slowly move to our 1010 timed item, annual report by the Placer County Youth Commission.

Good morning, Chair Land and Supervisors. I'm Mike Romero, Deputy Director of Health and Human Services for the Public Health Division. The action requested today is to receive the annual report and a presentation from the Placer County Youth Commission. This is actually the 17th time the Youth Commission has come before the board to give a presentation. none of them remember them the presenters today they're gonna share their experiences and accomplishments over the past year but before they begin I'd like to thank Alex Ride, Riley Stoltenberg, Ranjit Cheema and Sarah Hagan for their support and guidance to the Placer County Youth Commission

Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for having us. I just want to introduce ourselves really quickly. I'm Ella Engelman, and I'm from Granite Bay High School.

My name is Aliza Siddiqui, and I'm also from Granite Bay High School.

My name is Gihan Linagate, and I'm from Granite Bay High School as well.

Unfortunately, Granite Bay is one of the few schools on the Youth Commission that's actually out of school already at this point in the year, so I promise there are more schools on the board.

So a little bit about us. The Placer County Youth Commission is a group of motivated youth and we come together to identify and advocate for different issues that affect our local communities.

As you can see from the headshots up here, we strive to represent the different districts and identities within Placer County. All of us come from different areas, different high schools, and we represent all four years of high school within the district. Personally, the three of us are all from the same school, but again, there's a vast variety of different life experiences and identities reflected on the commission.

All right, now onto the goals that we have instilled in PCYC. So the first goal is to advise the board of supervisors and other decision makers on youth-related issues, to serve as a recognized community forum to discuss youth-related concerns, ideas, and solutions, to represent and improve the perception of Placer County youth, to initiate and maintain a positive change in the youth and its community, to promote beneficial activities, provide service opportunities, and encourage youth involvement in the community, and lastly, to better prepare youth to become responsible and active citizens. By instilling these different goals and having these established, we allow for change to be active in the communities.

So the Placer County Youth Commission, in short, seeks to advise, integrate, prepare, promote, and enhance the experiences and abilities of Placer County youth. To elaborate on that a bit, our vision is to create change and leave a lasting impact for all youth in Placer County. And our mission is to enable youth in Placer County to create long and lasting change in the community through positive actions and engagement. The primary way that we're able to do this is through the youth-led subcommittees. Every year, the Placer County Youth Commission allows for youth to select two subcommittees on the issues that we believe are pressing and need to be addressed among Placer County youth. So you'll learn a little bit more about which ones those were this year. We are required by our funding to have one on substance use prevention, but the other two were voted on collectively by the commission.

Some of the youth trainings that we're really fortunate to have in some of our meetings were super beneficial for our knowledge and understanding of the issues in our communities. One that I just want to highlight myself, my personal favorite, was called Voices Within. It was led by a fellow Granite Bay High School student, and she focuses on self-confidence in young elementary and middle school kids in an environment of social media.

These are the specific three subcommittees that we decided to choose. It was the mental health, substance use prevention, and youth engagement. Inherently, we see a lot of substance use in the youth in our communities. And for that reason, we decided this was one of the most important issues that we would have to impact on. And within these subcommittees, we decided that we would need to assess the needs, identify, plan, implement, and assess implementation.

so the first subcommittee and the one that i was personally on was the mental health subcommittee in this subcommittee we decided to create a podcast called peace of mind spelled like peace because we wanted to reduce the stigma and create a safe space for teenagers surrounding the talk about mental health and we thought that as teenagers ourselves discussing and really just having these deep conversations on a podcast can really help other youth in the county You can find us on Spotify and YouTube. We have a couple episodes posted and we have a couple more coming your way. So I was super excited to be a part of this podcast and I think it's really beneficial.

So I'm the chair of the substance use prevention. And for this year, we decided to elaborate on a book called Benny and the Forbidden Garden. Now, one of the most current issues that I personally see in my community is substance use. I've had friends and close people in my life who've been affected by this drastically. And for that reason, I believe that it's very important that we focus on this one. And the reason that we chose to make a book and elaborate upon it was mainly because we decided that having an impact at a young age would be definitely influential for the younger populace. And through this, we decided to elaborate upon the past subcommittee's idea, which was Benny and the Forbidden Garden. Now, this book was released on April 8th, 2026. And actually yesterday we went and we presented. We had a reading story time type of lecture that we did at a certain, I believe it was grades three, third grade. And I believe that it went very well. We also launched a tobacco free pledge and by doing this we allow for these youthful like adolescents to have this idea instilled in their brain from a young age and we can have this prevention which is inherently good for the community. And lastly we developed a teacher resource manual. The reason behind this was mainly because with a teacher resource manual we allow for these teachers to implement these story times later in the future even if we do progress and through this we can still have an impact on the community while not being there madam chair I understand you guys brought the books would you guys like to pass them out now while you're on this subject oh yes we did bring some books I'm sorry about that but yeah oh yeah you can hand them to Megan thank you guys

And then the last subcommittee and the one that I was part of is the Youth Engagement Subcommittee. All across the country, there's sort of a crisis of engagement among youth from our generation specifically, extracurricular activities, jobs oriented towards youth. There's a huge decrease in signups and we wanted to find a way to really engage the youth in our county in the community that they're part of. So we held a multicultural event, what we hope will be the first of an annual series of multicultural events at the grounds in Roseville. What we did is we had four dance performances from cultural groups across Placer County, as well as multiple speakers who were able to talk about the importance of our event, what it stood for. My favorite part was the live bagpipes. The Scott Dance Sacramento group brought two bagpipes and they had a really amazing series of performances. They were absolutely incredible, but essentially what we were able to do is we connected with different community groups. We had over 100 community attendees and we promoted in multiple different languages across Placer County. We really wanted to celebrate the diversity and different cultures represented in our county and I think we were able to do that successfully and we hope to be able to do the event again and incorporate hopefully more groups and have more participants. And then another event that we held at the beginning of the year was our fourth annual meet and greet. I think I saw a few of you there. Thank you so much for coming. But essentially what this was is an event for youth and the Board of Supervisors, school boards, school superintendents and other county department heads to interact with and interface with the incoming members of the Youth Commission. This was really at the beginning of the year. So we presented on our year goals and why they were important to help Placer County youth. So if you were there, you probably heard sort of a condensed version of our plans at the beginning of the year. And these are sort of the results of those plans. Our next meet and greet is going to be in October 2026. And personally, I really love this event. I am serving my second year on the Youth Commission and both years. It's been really incredible to get a better sense of what the county actually does, make connections that are going to be helpful for later in the year. And overall, just really appreciate how many people we have supporting us in our endeavors as the Youth Commission. I know for example, peace of mind interface with a lot of people who ended up being guests that they interviewed for the podcast. It's a really good not only networking opportunity for us as commissioners, but it's also just really cool to learn and be able to share what we do and what we're hoping to do for the year.

Okay, now moving on to the Friday Night Live Youth Summit. So we had seven commissioners that attended a two-day leadership and skill building event. The key learning areas that we wanted to identify when going to this youth summit was prevention strategies, youth development, advocacy, and education on underage drinking, tobacco, cannabis, and problem gambling. And lastly, we strengthen leadership skills, peer connections and ability to create positive change in our communities. And these are some of the pictures that we took when we were there. You can see me in the middle. I was one of the commissioners that had the pleasure of attending this event, and I really liked it for many different reasons. One of the first reasons was because all the key learning areas were assessed there. So I got to learn a lot about tobacco, the different drugs, the implementation solutions that we can implement in our own communities in order to prevent these Drugs from being used and as well as this we also got to go to Disneyland, which was very fun So there was a fun aspect as well as having a learning aspect. So with those two combined it was a great experience There was a lot of different youth from different districts and also even across like the board so for that reason I thought it was very interesting to be able to interact with different youth and see what they do in their communities to fix different issues and So by interacting with these different people, going to Disneyland and having fun, and also learning about these different key areas, I was able to, I guess, alter my perception on our own community and also implement strategies in our community that could be better for the overall populace of people.

So myself and a fellow youth commissioner were very fortunate to lead our sixth annual Free Your Mind, Free the Air 5K. This 5K is focused on tobacco awareness. So participants ran a course full of tobacco awareness facts to promote a healthy body and a healthy mind. It was held at Maidu. We had 158 participants. And for me, it was a really good leadership opportunity to learn how to delegate tasks and improve an already existing program. And I highly encourage you guys to come next year since it is an annual event and you do not have to be a runner. You can walk. But it was a really fun experience. We had a lot of tables with some of our subcommittee projects as well as just other tables from the county. And it's a really fun environment and a really fun day.

And then one of the final events that we participated in this year was the Cyan Youth Quest, which was an event held at the Capitol. We had trainings on speaking with legislators and Big Tobacco's inequitable tactics as they target youth specifically. We marched to the Capitol with a press conference on the Capitol steps. We were able to make signs in the morning, and then we marched, did some chants, and gave speeches about the impact of Big Tobacco on youth communities specifically. We spoke with legislators about the issues that Big Tobacco has created through their products and unfair marketing strategies. It was a really cool experience to be able to connect with elected officials in a way that youth don't typically get to. I learned a lot about how exactly to appropriately do that and sort of exist within that setting, which isn't something I'd done before. It was overall just a really cool experience to not only learn about the industry itself, but how we can use our voices as youth to make a difference when we're fighting a fight that seems so disproportionately balanced.

So the last thing that we would like to talk about is how the book got published in the news. Now, it was in Univision Live Interview in Spanish, CBS 13, Placer Sentinel, Gold Country Media, Roseville News, and CAP Radio NPR. The reason why it was so important that we got this book in the news is because with this, we would have a widespread impact. And as well as this, since we put about, let's say, two years of work into this book, I think it's very important that our work would be appreciated by, of course, other people.

and yeah I thought it was great that it got in the news thank you really great presentation so exciting I can't wait to read this book okay supervisor Jones yes I would like to congratulate you all a great job I you know I met one of your your fellow commissioners a couple years ago her name is ashley kim she was part of your book last year when she was a junior and so this summer she's graduating of course but this summer she's going to intern in my office and so yeah so you guys are the future leaders and you will go far and so i'm proud of you keep up the good work supervisor gore

Thank you so much for your presentation. As I read our report this weekend, I realized that you all have done a lot more than other youth commissions. It's very clear. You took on a number of projects. So great job, and thanks to the staff who worked so hard to support you. I mean, really, this group has done such a great job. And as I was just glancing through the book, I love that there are questions for parents and their kids. Facts about vaping and taking a pledge to be tobacco free. So what a great resource. And thank you for making this available for our community. What a great job. I'm just really, as Supervisor Jones said, really proud of you. And I'm watching you present and going, wow, I am excited about the youth of Placer County. So thank you again. Great job. Supervisor DiMattei.

just congratulations again like always you guys are fantastic so keep it up and hope you guys to see you probably up here someday

Great. Well, ditto what my colleagues have said. Tremendous energy, enthusiasm, passion, commitment, and leadership. And we do look forward to the future. It's helpful for me to see you as examples of where we're going in the future. And I just congratulate you and hope we can spread this to all the schools and all the regions of our county. So thank you for your efforts.

I just want to say I'm especially proud because I represent Granite Bay in D4. Great students, and I know that school, among other schools, put out wonderful graduates and students.

Is there anyone here in the public who would like to comment on this item? Is there anyone online? all right well we really appreciate your presentation awesome job and as a couple people already said we are super proud of you really excited to see where you go in your future and you know how to get a hold of all of us so if you ever need anything let us know thank you so much thank you will now move to our 1010 timed item the annual oh sorry just did that one item 6a 2026 annual adjustment of regional trust i really need some assistance today i'm going to go ahead and go to 10 b plaster county behavioral health services act services integrated plan

okay hello good morning again amy ellis with the adult system of care this is my last item for you all today i'm also joined by shannon mckeon she's our new bhsa coordinator she works for both the adult system of care and children's system of care so this item and bhsa really really spans both systems and serves adults and youth so um there's two actions associated with this first to approve the placer county behavioral health services act integrated plan for fiscal years 26 through 29 attesting the county is meeting realignment obligations and second to authorize the chair of the board county executive officer director of health and human services or designee to sign related certifications and documentation and sign subsequent amendments with risk management and county council concurrence So in 2005 Placer County began receiving through the state's Mental Health Services Act, which MHSA, a dedicated funding source to expand community-based mental health services for individuals with serious mental illness and those who are at risk. beginning in july 1 of 2026 mhsa is formally going to be replaced by behavioral health services act or bhsa marking the first year of implicate implementation for counties BHSA represents significant changes to the state's behavioral health system by expanding eligible services to include substance use, disorder treatment, shifting some of the investments that were made towards housing, and increasing requirements of the mental health plan to have more data, more information sharing, to increase accountability across all behavioral health funding sources. The BHSA establishes three primary funding components. So 30% of the funds are now to be spent on housing interventions, and that's brand new. That wasn't a part of MHSA, although in Placer County, we did invest significantly in housing voluntarily through our community planning process, but now it's a requirement that there's 30% to be spent in that way. The second category is called full service partnership and that's 35% of the funding and that was before at MHSA as well. There's a slightly higher percentage to be spent on FSP within BHSA but it's about the same. They want us to expand our full service partnerships beyond just people with primary specialty mental health diagnosis to people who also might have very debilitating primary substance use diagnosis. So that's why there was slightly more. Sorry, I've done that once before. I opened up the cabinet. Anyway, so that's why the expansion of FSP. It's not just for severely mentally ill, but also SUD, the substance use disorder population. And then finally, the last bucket is called behavioral health services and supports. And that's everything combined that was part of MHSA before into one bucket that's 35%. So that actually represents where the shrinkage occurs and where the shift comes. So that's everything like prevention, early intervention, workforce education and training, some of our investments to be able to do things like in our electronic health records and those types of things. All of the expenditures related to that would come out of that bucket. And prevention that is purely prevention or population based prevention is no longer allowed. And there was also changes related to the early intervention definitions of what we can do. They really needed to be more targeted to individuals that are either headed towards or very near or have lots of high risk towards entering the specialty mental health system plus there is a requirement that all of those early interventions that are billable that are something the state would pay for through the medical system be billed to the medical system first and then that the bhsa funder could come in as a secondary So no longer could we just pay for something that was not Medi-Cal certified. Whereas under MHSA, that's a shift, because under MHSA, we could contract with some community-based providers who were not Medi-Cal certified, who were doing other things to help our community. So that was a big shift that we had to navigate, and we worked with our providers over a couple of years on those changes. So housing intervention funding is dedicated to housing related supports, including rental assistance, interim housing, capital development and supportive housing services for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Full service partnerships funding. They are intensive wraparound services for individuals with the most complex behavioral health needs. They prioritize people who are experiencing homelessness, who are justice involved or experiencing frequent crisis utilization. behavioral health services and supports bucket funding supports a broad continuum of services like i mentioned including outpatient mental health services substance use disorder treatment crisis services prevention early intervention workforce development and system infrastructure one more point i need to make is that some of those things that are funded within that bucket that shrunk are required services for the county to do like crisis So that limited some of the flexibility to contract with like unique and innovative services from our. So it's like we had to first fund our county mandated services such as crisis. And then if there were funding remaining in that 35%, that's when we could then contract for some expansion of some other services. So consistent with the HSA requirements, the integrated plan was developed through a comprehensive community planning process. So we this included stakeholder engagement, and we used a variety of approaches in order to achieve engagement. We have a campaign for community wellness meeting that we have met for gosh a decade since the beginning of mhsa we never stopped meeting with our community related to changes in the mental health world so we primarily utilize that group of individuals to go over all of these changes and get their input but we also reached out to impacted organizations or even people we didn't know that might need us that aren't accessing us we offered to go out to them to their meetings to engage in stakeholder survey and input sessions with them We also did a community-based survey. We did a couple. We did one that really just was more broad-based that was out there on social media and tried to get to as many people as possible to get input. Plus, we did a targeted one related to individuals who are more unlikely to be like to underserved populations or people who are bilingual or need specific types of support. So we really targeted some surveys in that direction as well to try to really get as much input as possible. So there were some prevention-oriented functions that were no longer able to be supported under BHSA. So that does represent a shift starting July 1 for some of those contracted providers. So to try to minimize that, we really worked with our providers on other ways of funding their services. So we tried to connect them through CalAIM. taught them about other types of billable ways to do it, connected them to grants in our community, let them know there was some prevention funding that was taken from counties to the state level. We really informed them of getting their voice out there to try to secure some of those funds for themselves, just anything we could to minimize disruption and try to lessen any decrease in services for Placer County. And overall, I actually think we did a pretty good job. You're going to see some small reductions, but very few full cuts to things that were already existing in our community. Now, we are going to go into year one and need to get some actuals in the year one. There could need to be some more reductions moving forward, depending on how everything flows out. But in year one, you're going to see some stability in the services offered across our community. So, ultimately, the BHSA plan and estimated expenditures were vetted with our Behavioral Health Advisory Board, our local stakeholder steering committee, the Campaign for Community Wellness, and was posted for 30 days to receive public comment. The 30-day public comment period ended on April 30th, and we received no public comment. A public hearing was held at the behavioral health advisory board on April 27th as well and we did get some questions and concerns and clarity but I think because we had gotten so much feedback and comments through just our really robust stakeholder process that when it came to actual formal public comment time we didn't receive any. So the BHSA integrated plan for 26 through 29, it's funded through the BHSA Services Act revenues, which are derived from a 1% tax on personal income over $1 million. The plan outlines projected expenditures across three funding components, which we've already discussed. And the implementation of this plan does not require the use of county general fund contributions. Funding levels may vary year to year. based on the state revenue projections because it is that millionaire tax it varies and we have to use projections in order to budget against that however the plan is designed to align our ongoing expenditures with anticipated revenues and available fund balances and there's you know an appropriate level of prudent reserves as well to be able to try to maintain services if there was a down year And this is to try to ensure fiscal sustainability over our three-year period. Happy to answer any questions. Me or Shannon, between the two of us, we'll be able to answer your questions.

Great. Thank you. I have a quick question. On the funding allocation, I'm sure it's a formula or something. So how is that formula determined?

Well, so actually we use the whole state uses a particular person who is contracted to do that forecasting for us. His name is Mike Geist. And so he provides us those numbers, which then Shannon and they change for Shannon has had to change, had to update the budget multiple times as those projection shifts and more information is known. But we use those projections and then create our budget. And then the state we submit that to the state and then the state will also like tell us if they thought that we're projecting correctly or and ask us for changes in fact we're still going through that process with the state right now about our budget as we finalize for june 30th so is it i guess my question is is it based on the need is it based on population how do they oh it's no it's b oh you mean how do we know how much we get yes yeah so that's just it's about based on our population right

so if you're an affluent i'm just wondering if an affluent county gets less dollars than maybe a disadvantaged county or if that doesn't factor in no it's mainly based on population size and so they give each county percentages that you go and run the calculation and then the state will verify when you turn in your plan got it okay uh supervisor gore

I want to say thank you for all of your hard work. It's a really robust plan. And when the legislature passed this, none of the counties were happy. I mean, there were a few that were a little bit happy, but there was very little flexibility except for some of the rural areas. And the work you have done has been a lot and tremendous. And I really appreciate it, especially working with the nonprofits who you weren't going to be able to fund anymore based on the mandates from the states about from the state about how we had to spend our dollars. So I want to just say thank you. I really appreciate your hard work. And I am hopeful, even though I didn't like the way this came down, I am hopeful that because we have to set aside 30% for housing, that we might be able to increase transitional housing or other types of housing that we do need for folks. So I just want to say thank you. Good job. I know it was a really, really big lift.

Yeah. I mean, just to highlight what you're saying, it's like the state required us to get a lot of community input and hear them, but also told us exactly how we needed to use the funds. So it put us in a difficult position with some of our community members as we were relaying those requirements and and also hearing the feedback. Yeah.

Supervisor Jones.

Yes, I have a question regarding your funding component for housing interventions. Are you able to help with that program the people who are in our homeless shelters when it's time for them to move into housing?

Yeah. So because we were already using our funds to support housing, it's not as big of an increase in budget for those purposes as maybe in other counties who were doing nothing in that space. So then now all of a sudden they have to do 30% worth. And so then that's like a big change. For us, it's a smaller change, but, yeah, we do expect that there's more availability for subsidies, which we plan to try to stretch as far as we can by being the transitional rent provider, which is a new benefit. So we'll use transitional rent first for six months, and then BHSA will come behind for many who don't qualify for other subsidies. It's always going to be the funder of last resort, so we're still going to look to work for HUD vouchers and any other sustainable source for individuals before using this as a subsidy because it isn't a long-term subsidy because it's a variable funding source and it needs to be spent on so many other mandates. We still will need to work with people on other sustainable subsidy sources.

Right, because earlier, one of the women who's in the shelter, she talked about she and another person found an apartment to move into, but she also was expressing her concern that they may not be able to stay there long term. So I don't know, how do you solve something like that?

Yeah, I mean, it's challenging calling 211, getting into HMIS. We really use those vulnerability scores and we use a process between the county and our providers to really identify those folks and to make decisions and determination on who qualifies for the various subsidy sources.

And so how do you identify other people who are not in the homeless shelters?

So anyone, you don't have to be in a homeless system to be in HMIS. So anybody who is housing insecure should call 211. and get themselves in HMIS, there'll be a series of questions that will result in a vulnerability score that prioritizes them for assistance.

Okay, thank you. Thank you, it's a great program. Sorry about the unfortunate circumstances with all the... Yeah, the shrinking of other things. Just shrinking and constricted approvals or limits. Anyway, but thank you both.

OK, I will now open up public comment on this item. Is there anyone here who would like to comment on this item? And is there anyone online? No, Chair. All right, I will close public comment and bring it back to the board.

I'll move approval. I'll second.

Moved by Jones, seconded by Gore. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed and no abstentions. Thank you. Thank you. We will now move to our 1030 timed item, item 56A, 2026, annual adjustment of regional traffic fee programs.

All right, good morning, Madam Chair and board members. Phil Vashon with the Department of Public Works here. To talk to you today, I'm here to discuss the 2026 Annual Adjustment of Regional Traffic Fee Programs. There are two fee programs to talk about, the City-County Joint Traffic Fee Program and the Tier 2 Fee Program. The City-County Fee Program funds improvements to Baseline Road and Walerga Road due to development in the city and the county. The proposed 1.31% increase reflects the average of the change in the San Francisco CCI and the 20-city average CCI from May of last year to May of this year as reported in the Engineering News Record. Pertaining to the Tier 2 fee program, in 2009, the county entered into a memorandum of agreement with the cities of Roseville, Rockland, Lincoln, and Sparta for the funding of the regional Placer Parkway project and improvements at the Interstate 80, State Route 65 interchange. The proposed 1.548% increase reflects the average of the change in the San Francisco CCI and the 20-city average CCI from March of last year to March of this year, as reported in the ENR. So the action requested today, board members, is to conduct a public hearing to Adopt a resolution approving the fiscal year 2026-27 County of Placer City of Roseville Joint Traffic Fee Program Capital Improvement Program update and make an annual adjustment of 1.31% to the fee effective August 3rd of this year. And adopt a resolution modifying the county's portion of the South Placer Regional Transportation Authority Tier 2 Development Fee Program for fiscal year 2026-27, making an annual adjustment of 1.548%, effective August 3rd of this year. And determine the proposed actions are not project pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15378. And with that, I can answer any questions.

Thank you. Questions or comments from board members? I will open the public hearing. Is there anyone here who would like to comment on this item? And anyone online? OK, I will close the public hearing and bring it back for a vote.

I'll move approval of the item. Second.

Moved by Gore, seconded by DiMattei. All those in favor? Aye. None opposed and no abstentions. Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone.

Morning.

My name is Karen Boulay. I'm with Real Estate Services in the General Services Department. And I am here with, I have two actions requested. The first action that I'm requesting or that we're requesting is approve and authorize the Director of General Services or designee to execute a memorandum of understanding with the Judicial Council of California to establish the roles and responsibilities of the parties for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the arraignment court facility at South Placer Adult Correctional Facility subject to county council and risk management concurrence. My second action requested is for the board to determine that the requested action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to CEQA's guidelines 15301. And just a little background on this, the trial court Facilities Act of 2002 provided for the transfer of responsibility from the counties to the JCC for the operations and maintenance of certain courtrooms throughout the county or courthouses throughout the county. In compliance with that act, the county and the JCC entered into an agreement for the transfer of two courtroom facilities in the city of Auburn, or county, and that was the Auburn Main Jail and the juvenile detention facility. And under that agreement, that the transfer agreement would transfer to the JCC the perpetual and exclusive use of those courtrooms and for the financial obligation of occupying and maintaining them. The equity exchange agreement that I'm talking about today pertains only to the Auburn Main Jail and rather than try to read just from my notes, I'll just talk about it because it's kind of, there's a lot going on. The equity exchange agreement provides that the JCC will, in exchange for giving up their interest in the Auburn Main Jail, they would have exclusive use and occupation and financial obligation for the arraignment court facility that was built as a shell building attached to the South Placer Adult Correctional Facility. The shell building was built by the county, it's owned by the county, but the JCC was responsible for the tenant improvements, the design and the creating the inside of that, the arraignment court. And they've done that, they've completed that. And so now the MOU that I'm bringing forward today requesting you to authorize is just an agreement that provides for the obligations and the roles and responsibilities of the parties together. Because the JCC has requested that the county provide the maintenance services that would otherwise be the exclusive obligation of the JCC. The JCC has asked the county to provide those services and the county has agreed. And so that is what the MOU is for, is to establish those obligations. One of the things that the South Placer Justice Center or the Bill Santucci Justice Center, there's a number of county-owned buildings, but some are occupied exclusively by the courts and the county. So we have a common area agreement that was established back in 2016 that provides for the obligations of the maintenance and that the county provides landscaping and ongoing maintenance of the parking and buildings. But it's subject to reimbursement by the JCC. And so it's on a proportional share. The arraignment court facility would be 100% financial obligation of the JCC. So although the county will perform the maintenance services on their exclusive space, they are obligated to reimburse us 100%. There are some common systems that connect the arraignment court facility to the jail or to the adult correctional facility and those common systems are shared between the facilities. Those common systems that need maintenance or any type of repair would be shared on a proportional basis. For example, some of the items that would need to be, what do you call it, the equipment that would need to be maintained would be landscaping, mechanical, electrical, communications, plumbing, fire systems, security system, and pest control. So the JCC agrees to reimburse the county for 100% of those items that pertain to the JCC's facility. When it's not exclusively for their facility, it's going to be on a pro rata basis and it's based on square footage, which would mean that the JCC would be responsible for 5% with the county responsible for 95% of the cost of maintenance on those particular items. So the county will submit their invoices to the JCC for reimbursement on a quarterly basis. So with that being said, oh, and there's some other things. It can be terminated for convenience or it can be terminated for, this is so exciting, or by giving a six-month notice. So as far as the environmental impact of this particular contract this action is the action requested is categorically exempt from Environmental review as the operation of this is existing facility pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act section 15 301 it's exempt from that the fiscal impact the total annual cost that's estimated to maintain this arraignment court is is just over $200,000 with just under $140,000 to be billed to the JCC as their exclusive cost for their joint O&M operations and maintenance costs. And approximately $66,000 in common area costs. Funding for these costs are included in the fiscal year 2025-26 budget. for building maintenance and future years will be brought forward in the budget requests. There's no impact to the general fund and if there's any questions, I'm happy to answer those riveting

terms thank you supervisor boer i just want to say thank you thank you for explaining it as a lay person when i read it i was like what um so your explanation was a lot easier to understand than reading the staff report i appreciate it and thanks for the hard work all right is there anyone here in the public who would like to comment on this item and anyone online i'll go ahead and close public comment and bring it back to the board

I'll second.

Move by Gore, seconded by Gustafson. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed?

No abstentions.

Thank you. We'll move to item 12A, Memorandum of Understanding between County of Placer and the Deputy District Attorney's Association.

Good morning, Madam Chair, members of the board. Nicole Lopez, Assistant Director of Human Resources. The actions requested before you today are to adopt a resolution approving the terms and authorizing the chair to execute a memorandum of understanding between Placer County and the Placer County Deputy District Attorneys Association, DBA, Placer County Prosecutors Association, from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2029. The second action is to introduce an uncodified ordinance, waive oral reading, implementing salary adjustments for employees represented by the Placer County Deputy District Attorneys Association, DBA, Placer County Prosecutors Association. And the third action is to introduce an ordinance, waive oral reading, amending Placer County Code Chapter 3, consistent with the terms of the memoranda of understanding. The Placer County Deputy District Attorneys Association the DDAA they represent employees in the classifications of deputy district attorney and child support attorneys the county and the DDAA have a current agreement expiring on June 30, 2026 and they've been engaging in good faith collective bargaining to reach an agreement on a successor MOU The parties have reached tentative agreement contingent on your board's approval today. By a majority of vote they have ratified the proposed terms and conditions of the agreement in May of this year. The recommended terms of the MOU align with the board's focus on long-term fiscal sustainability while incentivizing recruitment and retention issues for higher caliber employees through competitive compensation package. With steady wage increases over three years, the results of the mutually beneficial labor negotiations provide stability to all parties in support of continued provision of critical public safety and support services to the community. The significant terms of the proposed MOU include a three-year term from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2029. along within those three years general wage increases beginning this July with a three percent increase an additional three percent increase in 2027 and then an additional three percent increase in 2028. it also includes a one-time recruitment and retention incentive of a one percent one-time salary adjustment for all represented classifications And also included is a classification and total compensation study for the deputy district attorney classification series. And lastly, revisions to the existing MOU for improved regulatory compliance, consistency, and administrative adjustments. In addition to the resolution approving the recommended MOU proposal for consideration is the uncodified ordinance for the prescribed salary adjustments with the ordinance amending Chapter 3 of Placer County Code consistent with the terms of the MOU. With the fiscal impact the total new compensation costs resulting from the proposed MOU is approximately $441,930 in fiscal year 26-27 and funding is available in the district attorney's budget. Additionally, new costs of $798,380 and $1,172,980 are anticipated in the following two fiscal years where funding will be included in those future proposed budgets. That concludes the information I have for you today. I'm happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thank you. Any questions or comments from board members? and anyone in the public have a comment on this item anyone online all right well thank you so much for your work on this really nice to see us getting coming to an agreement before the contract expires and excited to

Yeah, I do want to shout out. It was a really amazing experience with the DDAA's association, our chief negotiators. It was a really pleasant, interactive process that came out with a great resolution.

That's great. Supervisor Gustafson?

I was just going to move approval. And I'll second.

Moved by Gustafson, seconded by Jones. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed, no abstentions. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We'll move to item 13A, annual software licensing and support.

All right. Good morning, supervisors. My name is John Manning. I'm the county purchasing manager. I'm here before you today requesting your approval of multiple negotiated contracts for software. This is our effort to consolidate multiple software agreements that either expire or are going to expire near June 30th. So before you are 13 agreements that are in place on behalf of various county departments. The purposes of the software are included in the staff report. They're integral to the department's operations. Some are related to IT security. Others are related to operational demands, such as the GIS contract. So we are requesting your board's approval for at least the approval to award and renew for two subsequent one-year terms. and change order authority in the amount not to exceed $100,000. We've identified where each contract complies with the county's procurement policy and procedures within each contract noted in the staff report as well. What I'll do is I'll read the action requested and then I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. The first action is to approve the renewal of negotiated agreements with multiple firms for annual software licensing and support in the maximum aggregate amount of $3,310,000 for one-year terms funded by various departments fiscal year 2026-27 budgets subject to risk management and county council concurrence. Also to approve the option to renew the agreements for an additional one year term in the maximum aggregate amount of $3,590,000 funded by various departments fiscal year 2027-28 budgets. Action item 3 is to approve the option to renew the agreements for an additional one-year term in the maximum aggregate amount of $3,900,000 funded by various departments fiscal year 2028-29 budgets, and also to authorize change orders in the not to exceed maximum cumulative amount of $100,000 annually consistent with the Placer County procurement policy subject to departmental concurrence and available funding, And lastly, authorize the purchasing manager to sign all required documents. And with that, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you. Questions or comments from board members? And is there anyone in the public who would like to comment on this item? Anyone online? I'll bring it back to the board.

I'll move approval, and can I just say I'm glad we can put these all in one, and it is sort of astronomical what we pay for software, but the price of doing business. So thank you for your hard work.

You're welcome. We do work very hard to keep the annual increases nominal. The software is a difficult commodity to negotiate renewals on, but we do our very best. And I'm sure you don't want to hear me speak 13 times on these, so happy to consolidate them for you.

Thank you. Is there a motion? I'm in. Oh, sorry. Moved by Gore. Second. Seconded by Gustafson. All those in favor? Aye. And none opposed and no abstentions. Thank you.

Thank you.

We will move to our last department item, item 14A, Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility.

Good morning, Chair. Excuse me. For the record, it says by Matt Dodge. I'm not Matt Dodge. I'm Jean Hansen. Matt couldn't make it today. And I'm a senior engineer with Environmental Engineering Public Works. So the actions before you today, the first one is to approve the award of competitive bid number 20649 to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, QND Construction LLC of Sparks, Nevada, for the construction of the Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility Pavement Repairs Project Phase II. in the amount of $598,000 and authorize the director of public works or designee to execute the contract subject to county council and risk management concurrence. Second action item is to authorize the director of public works or designee to execute change orders up to $42,400, consistent with public contract code section 20142 and county procurement policy. And the third is to determine that the proposed actions are exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA guideline sections 15301A, 15301B, excuse me, and 15302C. So the Department of Public Works, DPW, manages solid waste collection and disposal services in the Tahoe Truckee area. Collection recycling disposal services are provided by Tahoe Truckee Disposal Company Inc., CTD, and Placer County Eastern Regional Sanitary Landfill Inc. service provider, respectively. Service provider utilizes the county-owned Eastern Regional Materials Recovery Facility, ERMRF, for the operation and maintenance of its collection, recycling, and disposal services, equipment, and vehicles. The ERMRF is over 30 years old and over the past few years has continued to show increasing signs of deterioration. The increased use by private and commercial vehicles and additional operational loading has contributed to the deterioration of the asphalt pavement. Due to funding and operational constraints, rehabilitation of the asphalt concrete pavement was separated into two phases. The first phase was completed in August of 2025, and DPW is proposing to complete the second phase, which is to repair the remaining deteriorated asphalt concrete areas. And the second phase is anticipated to begin this summer. So on March 10th of this year, the board approved the plans and specifications and authorized the director of public works or designee to advertise for construction bids. DPW enlisted the assistance of procurement services to develop bid number 20649. The bid was advertised in accordance with public contract code and posted online at the bid's intended website, and nine formal bid responses were received on April 14th of this year. upon evaluation of the responses procurement services determined that an award should be made to q and d construction llc of sparks nevada as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a total bid of 598 000. And no bid protests were received. As far as the fiscal impact, the total cost of the contract, including potential change orders, amounts to $640,400. Funding for the contract is available in the fiscal year 25-26 budget and requested in fiscal year 26-27 recommended budget for the Eastern Regional Landfill. And there's no impact to general fund.
