Board of Supervisors - Regular Meeting

Heat. Heat. Hey, hey, hey. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Heat. Yeah.

Heat. Heat. N. Down. Down. Okay. Um, so we're now in session and we are on item nine, Harmony Grove Village of Work General Plan Amendment. Uh, Doug, does the team have a presentation?

Yes, chair. We do have a brief presentation. Thank you.

Good morning, Chair Lawson Reamer and supervisors. I'm Aiden Pulley with planning and development services. Today I will be presenting on item number nine which is Harmony Grove Village live work units project. The department is before you today recommending approval of the project. The project site is located in the village center of the Harmony Grove Village approved in 2007. The specific plan originally designated the site for commercial use with an alternative option for live work residential units if commercial development proved infeasible. While the plan allowed up to 742 residential units and 45,000 square ft of commercial space, approximately 739 of those homes have already been constructed elsewhere within the specific plan area. Due to market demand, the project now proposes 27 additional residential units. The site is surrounded by existing residential development in Parkland, including similar units to the north and south, Fourth of July park to the west, and a water reclamation facility to the southwest. The proposed project includes a 24 lot subdivision on about 3 acres, including 14 residential lots, two condominium lots with 13 units, and a separate lot for the historic Johnston Wardhouse, which is intended to be rehabilitated and operated by a third party. Due to current market conditions, the originally planned commercial uses are no longer viable. The project instead proposes live work units or homes that allow occupants to both live and conduct smallcale businesses or other professional activities within the same space in place of office and retail uses.

To accommodate this change, the project requires general plan and specific plan amendments to establish live work as a distinct land use designation and to increase the total number of units by 27. Additional approvals include a tenative map, a major use permit modification, and site plan approval. On July 10th, 2025, the San Diego CPG voted to recommend approval of the project by a vote of 10 yes, zero no, and two members absent. The Harmony Grove Village HOA and Elephant Forest Harmony Grove Town Council have also expressed their support of the project. On January 9th, 2026, the planning commission recommended approval of the project. The project will provide new housing opportunities while preserving an existing historic structure. The project would also implement a previously analyzed alternative use for the site, allowing development to proceed in the absence of market demand for retail while maintaining the site's aesthetic character and compatibility with the surrounding community. Because the project complies with all relevant codes and regulations and the required findings can be made, the department concurs with the planning commission and recommends the board approve staff's recommendation. This concludes the presentation. Staff is available for any questions.

That was very efficient. I have no questions. Anyone else? Okay, we'll go to public comment. Thank you, Chair Lawson Reamer. We do have eight total requests to speak. Uh, three individuals in person and five requesting to speak by phone. Also like to note for the record, we did receive one e comment on this item which was neutral. For any individuals that have requested to speak on this item by phone, please dial into the conference line now using the instructions that were provided to you. We will go ahead and begin with the in-person speakers. As your name is called, if you could please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak. Uh, they will then have two minutes to address the board. And if you could please begin by stating your name for the audio record. See, I'm having some troubles with my screen here. Screen black. There we are. Okay. I'd like to invite forward the first three speakers. allegedly Audra, Andrea Ebing, and Ted Shaw. So, I'm wondering, this obviously isn't the South development that's under litigation for putting people in a fire danger zone, right? Correct. This is a different one. Right. But we do still have litigation coming forward from the south project of putting, you know, over a thousand more people and the fire chief uh saying that if this project was brought forward, you know, right now that it wouldn't be

passed, but because it's over a decade's old long uh plan that it went ahead and went through. So, it's just interesting um that that is taking place. And we just had an item previous to this one talking about litigation that is forcing you guys to capitulate to things that you maybe didn't want to do. So, it'll be interesting to see what comes down the pike with this. And um it's funny because you'll like stop projects due to environmental stuff, but when it has to do with public safety and people really being, you know, able to evacuate in some way, it's like it's cool if they only have one road, one way in and one way out. It doesn't matter. They'll figure it out. Maybe we can astral project. Who knows? Um, but I love how you guys want to do the live and work stuff, this whole climate action, right? Because we're going to save the planet by living where we Why don't we just implement it? Let's rip off the band-aid and say that you guys need to live where you work. So, either you're going to live here and work here. Like, you can put a tent under your desk, Terra. Don't you think? Right. I mean, come on. It'd be what the roof. Exactly. We could put like hanging things. You could put stuff where it's like a dormatory up here and you guys can just all live here. Even you guys. That would be fantastic. I mean, it's going to save the planet. So, let's really get this going. I think that you guys could sell your homes or give it to either an illegal or someone homeless and we could really, you know, benefit people. Let's do it. and Ted Shaw and then noting Andrea has uh doesn't need a comment on this item.

Good afternoon. Ted Shaw with the Atlantis Group here on behalf of Newi Capital. Uh we appreciate staff's hard work to get to this point. Uh we have reviewed the staff report, appreciate the presentation. We stand in support of their support as well as the planning commission's recommendation. We're here to answer any questions that may come up. Thank you.

All right. Thank you. And uh we will now go to our our callers. For those that requested to speak by phone again, when it's your turn to speak, you'll be unmuted. You will then hear a recording recording to tell you to begin your comments. And we will go ahead and begin with our first caller. all the bold. Um the idea looks good. It's always nice to have shopping uh locally rather than miles away. However, in view of the limited evacuation routes, there needs to be some kind of restriction on vehicle traffic if these workplaces are the kind which attract more than a few cars. 27 cards. Okay. 100 or more is not. I'm referring to the the globe, the entire picture, the big picture. Um the whole Harmony Grove area needs to be taken care of for evacuation routes, not just the south part. Um, and uh, actually I think Oddward's idea was good. You know, you guys moving into the admin building. I'm sure there are a lot of empty spaces around um, now especially that you've renovated it. They probably even look good inside. So, you know, let's go for it. Just um, move in. And you know, there's a nice cafeteria on the fourth floor. Um, all the comforts of life around here. I mean, local shopping. It's a good deal. Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Hello. Thank you. Thank you. And Chair Lawson, remember not seeing any other callers call in the queue. That concludes public comment on this item. Okay. Thank you very much. Uh do many of my colleagues have any questions? Supervisor Desmond question. Go ahead. On the uh the live work. So is that um I didn't get is it was the first floor office retail? What's supervisor Desmond through the chair? It it is designed that way, Supervisor. It doesn't necessarily have to be used, but it could be used in that particular way.

It could be. So, I I remember we approved these things a while ago in San Marcos and there was a lot of living, not a lot of work. Uh, and I just want to ask, can these be converted if if so it could be residential or or uh a work area? That's correct, supervisor. It could be used either way. Oh, okay. All right. Um, I I really appreciate the presentation and the fact that, you know, the the local uh group along with the the uh planning commission, the community planning group have all approved this thing. So, I'll I'll move staff's approval. Happy to second. Okay. Motion to second. Please vote.

And Chair Lawson rumor, that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present voting I.

Okay. Thank you. Let's move on to um uh item 10. Thank you.

Good afternoon. Your micro your microphone. to share some.

Third time's a charm. Thank you for your patience. Good afternoon, Chair Lawson, Reamer, and members of the board. Today, we are here to share some very exciting news. Over the past eight years, public works has diligently and efficiently worked towards the ambitious goal set by the board to improve the roads on which our community drives and bikes through sound fiscal management and use of modern technology. I'm very proud to share that our team has achieved the much sought-after pavement condition index or PCI of 70. This is considered to be a very good condition by industry standards. This transformation is the result of one of the largest and most effective road resurfacing programs in the entire state. Deputy Direct Director Morali Posum Marti will walk you through how we got here with help from SP1 funding and our plan to apply the successful approach to future infrastructure projects.

Thank you, Marissa. Here is a snapshot of how public works strategically put years of state funding to work for the county maintained road systems between 2017 and 2025. DPW invested $500 million of state funds to resurface 778 central line miles of county roads with an additional 269 miles of roads under design and construction. This effort brought our road network up to a very good rating. By reversing deterioration and maintaining nearly 2,000 center line miles of roads, DPW has delivered on a core service people depend on every day. Additionally, as part of the road resurfacing programs, these state funds and that I will discuss further have funded other projects which include improving 366 culverts, upgrading over 2,200 curb ramps to comply with ADA, improved 145 intersections, added video detection to 57 traffic signals, and restriped 349 miles to add new bike lanes. These improvements represent a wholesale modernization of the county's transportation network. SB1 funding has been a key component in achieving the PCI70 condition for county maintained roads. In addition to nearly 2,000 central line miles of roads, DPW also maintains diverse roadway infrastructure that enhances community health and safety. These assets include the bridges, culverts, bike lanes, traffic signals, sidewalks, and a lot more.

Before 2017, DPW relied on the gas tax, the SG franchise fee, and other one-time only sources. Between 2000 and 2017, there was a significant decrease in gas tax revenues due in part to growth in increasingly fuel efficient and zero emission vehicles. This decreased the road revenue by more than 25% resulting in significant road deterioration. In 2017, the state of California passed the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account, also known as SB1, which increased funding to all local agencies for road maintenance projects. Use of SB1 funding is restricted to the funded jurisdiction for road maintenance, rehabilitation and safety projects, maintenance of complete streets including pedestrian and bicycle safety projects and repair and maintenance of traffic control devices such as the traffic signals. While other jurisdictions also had access to SB fun, SB1 funds, DPW took full advantage of the opportunity to make a tangible difference in our communities. The improvements were not just about asphalt. It was about systems, leadership, and accountability, which included the board's leadership, use of advanced technology, smarter SB1 funding allocation, strong project delivery by DPW staff and our road crews along with the contractors, and proactive infrastructure management rather than a reactive repair work. We delivered improvements at a scale unmatched by counties of similar size and complexity in the state and the effort has been noticed. On February

25th, 2026, the California State Association of Counties, League of California Cities, and the County Engineers Association of California awarded the County of San Diego's payment management program as the best payment management practices in the state. Still, with all these accomplishments, significant critical infrastructure needs remain and a robust asset management program is needed to manage them. Maintaining the system of roads, culverts, signs, bridges, and traffic signals requires more than funding. It requires strategy. An expanded asset management program will field verify and digitize all road assets, assess and update asset conditions, integrate GIS for real-time accuracy, support proactive maintenance, reduce liability and emergency repairs, and strengthen public trust with transparent reporting. This ensures that the county continues to lead not just in payment condition but in long-term infrastructure stewardship. We are currently implementing a pilot project in the Casadero community using AI based tools and field surveys to digitize all above and below ground assets. This area was particularly selected after the recent storm events highlighted the need for a more thorough assessment of local drainage areas in our suburban communities. The key objectives of the project included developing an enhanced culvert inspection rating method, completing field surveys to collect all road assets within the area, and producing more accurate and comprehensive GIS data sets to support long-term infrastructure

planning and maintenance. Over the next five years, DPW recommends continued use of SB1 funds to prioritize road resurfacing projects, maintain an average PCI of 70, and extend the life of the investments. DPW also recommends using a portion of SB1 funds towards other critical infrastructure and expand the existing asset management program. The reallocated funds will be used to replace critical culverts, digitize all road assets, improve the asset management program, repair the metal beam guardrails, upgrade curb ramps to meet ADA requirements, repair sidewalks, rehab existing bridges, and address the operational funding gaps. Transforming the road system into one of the best in California has improved road safety and reliability, and residents experience the difference every day. Smoother roads, safer intersections, more accessible infrastructure, and a transportation network built for the future. And we are just getting started. So staff recommends the following. Approve the SQA findings. direct the CAO to proceed with actions necessary to continue to maintain the average PCI of 70 for the county road network and also to use any SB1 funding received on road maintenance, road rehabilitation and safety projects including culvert replacement, repair of guardrails, bridges and sidewalks and the asset management program. This concludes staff's presentation. We are available to answer any questions. Supervisor Anderson. Uh

thank you, Madam Chair. You know, I'm disappointed that we can't give proclamations on Wednesdays because uh DPWs certainly deserves it. Uh you know, they're responsible for over 2,000 miles of roads and the unincorporated and the work that they've done. you know, this was set back in two 2017 and yet they achieved it today. And all these investments make a huge difference in our constituents lives. So, I just want to personally thank you and uh uh you know, ever since I got elected, I've had a close relationship with your department on these roads. And so, I just want to give credit where credit's due. Outstanding work uh to each and every one of you. Thank you. Uh, Supervisor Desmond,

I don't have any questions. I just have comments, but I don't know if you want to give public comment or No, go ahead.

Okay. Well, I want also I want to echo what Supervisor Anderson just said. You know, really, you know, this is a great day. This is this is an achievement and uh we did this in San Marcos actually as well. Tried to get the PCI the uh pavement condition index uh to 70 because it's sort of the sweet spot. If we get below that, then it starts costing a lot more to maintain the roads. And if we can keep them at this is more of an average at 70, uh then it's that's kind of the sweet spot for we they're still they're in great posh condition and we don't have to, you know, wait till something just gets too too far gone to before repairing it. Um just a little bit um I guess when this took went into place, I I think we had a PCI index around 60 in uh 2017. Uh and uh it was actually heading in the wrong direction too. We were it was heading downhill. Uh but in the past uh eight or nine years, DPW staff has done a fantastic job of getting it, you know, and prioritizing the roads and and trying to get to this PCI of 60, I'm sorry, of 70. Um resulting in the number of roads classified as poor and very poor. It was at 32% and now it's like 8.6%. So, it's a huge drop and increasing the number of roads classified as good or very good uh from 68% which was good but now it's about 90 over 90% uh are classified as as good and very good. I know we still get complaints about potholes every once in a while but but overall the system is great and and the people in the unincorporated areas really appreciate uh having good safe uh roads. So, um I'll make a motion to approve staff's recommendation uh and accepting this uh great uh achievement here by Department of Public Works. And we and we got it and but we have to make the commitment to keep it. We got to maintain 70 uh to keep the um the pricing down uh and uh maintaining our roads. So, appreciate it.

Thank you. We have a motion and a second. Thank you very much. Uh we'll go to public comment. Thank you, Chair Lawson Reamer. We have eight total requests to speak, three individuals in person and five requesting to speak by phone. Also like to note for the record, we did receive one e-com e comment on this item which was in favor. For any individuals that have requested to speak on this item by phone, please dial into the conference line now using the instructions that were provided to you. We begin with the inerson speakers. Again, as your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak. You'll then have two minutes to address the board. Please begin by stating the your name for the audio record. would like to invite forward allegedly Audra, Andrea Ebing, and Steven Shrewberry.

Well, um I have a suggestion. I'm wondering if we could put a wishing well here so that we could throw pennies into it, make wishes of what we wish you guys would do, and then maybe we'll have a better chance of having that happen. Um anyh who, so this is interesting because I thought we're not supposed to be driving. Like, aren't we supposed to be getting out of our cars? Is that not the plan? We're supposed to be walking and biking, so why are we fixing the roads? And are you really fixing the roads, you guys? You're like, we're the best in California, and that's disturbing. Uh cuz the roads are in really crappy condition. And especially in the unincorporated areas, uh like Julian, uh where you almost kind of like go off the road because there's like ruts in the, you know, turns and areas in that asphalt. Nobody's fixing that because it's not sustainable. But yeah, I'm just like eight years to improve. Good job, you guys. Eight years. How How long is it going to take us to get to 100%. We'll never get there, but we're going to go and achieve it. Try and achieve it. You know, we're just really good uh people at really, you know, throwing pennies into a wishing well. But um yeah, I'm just terra like if we're supposed to be saving the planet, why are we literally fixing the roads? I mean, don't we think that we could do something else with that? Like traffic more children? Um and what's underground is kind of what I want to know. You said above and below the ground. What's what's in those tunnels underneath San Diego? Children that you guys have taken through CPS. Um I don't know. uh the animals that are being abused that you're like I don't know I mean what's under there like your guys is that where you're going to live Tara you said like on the roof but do you mean on the roof underground so you're like right below us is that where hell is I don't I don't know I'm just

it's good thing that you guys pay attention and answer questions. Thank you so much.

All right not seeing any movement in the chamber. We'll go ahead and go to our phone callers. When it is your turn to speak, you'll be unmuted and then you will hear a recording that will tell you to begin your comment. And we will go ahead and begin with our first caller. Paula Bold, I'm glad to see that there's been substantial progress made in improving road conditions in the county. So, when supporting, I hope everyone's invited without having to agree to follow the board's dictates, which is against the California Constitution, by the way, like the independent bash. Um, on other hand, the 0.6% of roads in very poor shape and the 6% in poor shape should be easy to fix up. Especially the few roads in very poor shape, although they may be uh send eggs, they're good at pointing fingers. I think uh since the same program fixes culverts, road ramps, and things like traffic lights, I'm wondering how many of these are actually in good or very good shape and poor lousy shape. I'm a bit alarmed by the discrepancies by district aloud spread over nine years that districts three and four have only about a third of the roads resurfaced while district five is almost half of them. It would be nice if these numbers were equal given your equity uh boosting

and the board letter mentions AI analysis considering that AI has no conscience. This is not a good idea. Will it kill off um on the on the weird roads mentioned or who be arrested for weird driving or whatever? Um this is one case where increase they Thank you. Your time is up and chair Lawson Reamer not seen any other callers in the caller queue. That concludes public comment on this item. Okay. Thank you very much. Um, Vice Chair Montgomery Step.

Thank you so much, Chair. Thank you for the presentation. I just wanted to commend you on the award and just say that I um live on very close to where the unincorporated area begins. And I can tell when I'm driving what side I'm on. Um, and the county side is the better side. I'm just, you know, just saying. Um, I've also seen just over the years, um, how maintenance, you know, plays a role. Um, the original work plays a role, but then the maintenance does as well. I've I've seen certain streets within the city of San Diego deteriorate at at paces much uh, shorter than those on the county side. So, um, certainly no system, you know, is perfect. Um, but I do actually experience the change um, in a way that I that that I can compare. Um, and um, I do appreciate the work that goes into this. This is certainly an um, if there's any issue that is nonpartisan, it is streets. Everybody complains about streets. It does not matter what they think about anything else. Um, and so um, this is good news and I appreciate you for all the work that you put into it. Thank you,

Supervisor Desmond. If I if I could wait till after the vote and then make a comment, please. Okay, that's fine. Um, we have a motion in the second. Please vote. And chair lost rumor. That motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present voting I Frank Arbalo. Hey, I understand Frank is going to be retiring soon and he actually May 7th is his last day at the county. So, I'd like to just give a few remarks. This is not an adjournment. This is a thank you. Uh oh, thank goodness.

But hey, Frank started his career at the county in June of 1991. He served as a civil engineer in construction engineering, traffic engineering, and field engineering. In 2012, Frank was promoted to senior civil engineer leading the DPW's resurfacing program, including management of the PCI road to 70 program, which we just heard about. Congratulations. You're going out on on a high note, Frank. Um, he stepped into the role of the luge program manager in field engineering, overseeing multiple programs, including pavement, drainage. Somebody's got to watch that stuff. pavement drainage, structural BMP maintenance, and asset management. He's de demonstrated strong professional engineering skills. He excels at mentoring and developing his staff and continues to provide exceptional customer service to the community. So, Frank, on behalf of the of the county and the board, we all thank you for your dedication and leadership. Thank you for getting our roads to PCI SE70 and helping keep our roads wellmaintained and safe and safe. We wish you all the best in retirement and happy trails.

Thank you. That was lovely. They put me up. So, thank you. That was lovely. Just, you know, that was great. Um Okay. All right. So um we are nearing the end of our meeting. I think now we have to do uh public comment on Oh, we have board committee reports and then we have uh public comment on close session. Any board committee reports today? Yes, please.

I got a good one. So I went to the waterboard authority meeting uh just last week. they had a special meeting and um I had been to waterboard authority meetings uh previously for a couple years and I used to tell people all they did was sue each other. Uh but the at the water authority however this last week's meeting the wa the suit between the water San Diego County water authority and metropolitan water which is the uh Bay Delta area uh that suit got settled. So everything has been passed. It's good. Uh the good news for San Diego County is we we have excess water. Uh we've had excess water for a while primarily because uh the state had asked us all to cut back on like to 10% of the water usage. You know, put in fake grass and and and uh whatever plants, you know, less water using plants and um we cut back not 10% but we cut back 25%. So we cut back a lot. So we had excess water and you purchase water like commodities. You got to purchase water like 10 years out. So nobody really knew that we were going to save this much water. Uh they also put in more dams. Uh they raising the SA city dam putting in the the San Leo reservoir. No not San Leo reservoir the uh Levenheim reservoir. And so they they they did a lot of projects and uh the good news is they out of the settlement actually San Diego County can start selling water. So, we're going to be selling water to Riverside County, to the eastern and western uh water districts there. Uh bringing in millions of dollars, hopefully paying down debt, and then hopefully not having to raise rates for a while. So, it was a good news uh meeting. It was the first one I showed up in a while and we fixed everything. So, uh

show up more often. Yeah, I know. Yeah, no kidding. That's great. Just quick question. That's a wonderful report. uh kind of looking back 10 years, what were the strategies we implemented that were so successful in reducing our water usage?

Well, it was just people did it, people stepped up. You see a lot of fake grass out there. You see a lot of people not, you know, putting in water-wise lawns and things like that. So, we uh San Diego County more than any any other county in uh the state uh stepped up quite a bit. And so, we reduced like by 25% which was which was high. Unfortunately, we still got to pay for the infrastructure that's all there and that's why rates kind of haven't gone down much. But we weren't able to sell any excess water and that was what was big is that in this settlement that allows us to sell water. Another thing we did we did or the water authority did is they um lined the uh the river coming off of the Colorado River in in Imperial Valley. So the water that was going to water or irrigate all of the crops in the Imperial Valley was just a dirt channel and it was and actually was sand because it was going it was in in this uh it's going through the desert and so we San Diego County Raider Tech uh water rate payers uh lined that canal with cement and now the loss we benefit now because of the lack of loss of water of just being permeate going into the ground didn't make some people on the Mexico side of the border happy because they had wells tapping into that water. But um so we did quite a few things. Uh the water authority did a lot of good things, but the settlement, which was a 15-year lawsuit, uh we finally got handled and and it did allow us to

to bring in extra money that we didn't have before by being able to sell off what we uh what we saved and um um the amount we we stopped using or didn't use as much. Uh, kudos to the county and the people doing that and the fact that we're able to bring in money and have a new new re source of uh of money instead of just jacking up the water rates. That's fantastic. I thank you so much for such a good news report. Anyone else want to follow that? Okay. Uh, now we go to close uh session public comments.

Thank you, Chair Lawson Reamer. Uh item 25 on yesterday's general legislative session agenda are closed session matters. The closed session matter uh close session agenda includes eight matters. Individuals that have requested to speak on close session matters must provide comments related to the matters listed in the close session item. Otherwise your comments will be considered off topic. We have seven total requests to speak. Two individuals in person, five requesting to speak by phone. For any individual that requested to speak on closed session matters by phone, please dial into the conference line now using the instructions that were provided to you. We'll begin with our in-person speakers. I'd like to invite forward allegedly Audra and Andrea Ebing. You have two minutes to address the board.

Good thing we're giving sewage back to the people. So cool that we can sell the water. All right. So, close session. County Council is doing some really nefarious things. So it makes me questionable to know that they will make any sound mind decision especially about like jail deaths negligence that's happening there when they support the negligence that's happening in the county with CPS or as you would call it child and family well-being which was renamed from child well-being whatever. Um yeah, you guys are adding county council um in the juvenile courts is adding fraud into the record. Um in fact they are fasttracking adoption saying we got to get this done lickety split. We don't have any time to waste like Jessica Felman right in sorry whatever. Um but yeah, so I just do not trust any kind of uh you know, bringing forward litigation, uh going into litigation that the county council wants to do when they are engaged in child trafficking and making sure that children are ripped apart from their families like Mallaya and Zia Robinson who on the this next month are going to be, you know, having their family terminated, which is so cool for you guys cuz you guys get to make money off of it. And Norma Olivare is, you know, she gets to make money off of taking these children and probably trafficking them to the Dominican Republic, which will be interesting. And just the fact that sexual abuse has been covered up and you guys want to put it under the guise of me coaching children, right? Because I do that being, you know, a victim myself. I like to go to other children and tell them to report sexual abuse because it just makes me

feel good when I do that. I get like, you know, warm and fuzzies from children telling me about someone like named Gigi touching them. So, good for you guys.

All right. Not seeing any movement in the chamber. We'll go to our phone callers again. Uh we we'll go Oh, actually, we'll begin with our first caller here. Bold, congratulations to DPW and keep it up. Sounds like a welldeserved proclamation at the May board meeting. Now, a Royal East State Verse County Royal had a psychotic episode and was arrested for drugs, but jail staff ignored his card condition. Also, an X-ray showing a bag of something in his seizure in jail, was ignored, and died. Better settle. Baka versus county. Another wrongful inmate death through negligence case. Highly believable. Better settle. You say the versus Bayard. An auto accident in 2022. Wasting time and money. Need to settle. Shepard versus county. Another auto accident. This time deadly. Simple fact. Better settle. uh say diverse meta platforms at all. Meta and other tech companies designed platforms to cause addiction and mental health issues in children and were found liable. The county seems to be trying to get as much of $6 million award as possible. May be a waste of time and money given the large amount of people harmed. Kenny versus San Diego water district complaint for dangerous condition of public property. Heard maintenance is problem all over. Sounds

like you need to settle. Arabellum Cormick beaten and starved and murdered. Delilah starved to death at three months by her unfit adopted parents. Andrew Ebing tortured kids taken now brutalized by the cops. Evelyn Lopez kids taken the 150 or more Palinsky center abuse cases and other abuse cases. I don't think the board is acting right. Thank you. Your time is up and chair Lawson reamer not seeing any other callers in the calling queue. That will conclude public comment on close session matters.

Okay. Thank you very much. Um we finished non-aggenda public comment already this morning. So now we proceed to close session. Um everyone can have about a 5m minute break. We'll see you there at 2:10. Board will now recess into close session to consider those matters listed under item 25 on yesterday's general legislative session agenda. If there are any reportable actions, they will be reported out after the conclusion of clo close session today.
