>> MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? >> SUPERVISORS FROST, KENNEDY, NOTTOLI, PETERS, SERNA, AND YOU HAVE A QUORUM. >> THANK YOU. >> THIS MEETING OF THE SACRAMENTO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS MetroCast LIVE ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS CHANNEL ON THE COMCAST CONSOLIDATED U-VERSE CABLE SYSTEMS. THE MEETING IS CLOSED CAPTIONED. TODAY'S MEETING WILL BE REPEATED FRIDAY, JULY 17TH, AT 6 p.m. ON CHANNEL 14 AND BROADCAST LIVE ON KUBU RADIO ON 96.5FM. A DVD COPY IS AVAILABLE FOR CHECKOUT FROM ANY LOCAL LIBRARY BRANCH. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. THE SUPERVISOR KENNEDY, CAN YOU LEAD US IN THE PLEDGE, PLEASE? [ TOGETHER ] >> I PLEDGE ALL EGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED THEIR SUMMER RECESS THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. I DO HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT AS HAS BEEN CUSTOMARY DURING THE PANDEMIC. IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE DIRECTIVES FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION CDC, THIS MEETING IS LIVE-STREAMED AND CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC. TEMPORARY PROCEDURES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND MINIMIZING PERSON TO PERSON CONTACT. TO MAKE VERBAL COMMENTS AT TODAY'S MEETING, YOU CAN DIAL TO REGISTER YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. DEPUTY CLERK WILL CONTACT YOU AND TRANSFER YOU INTO THE MEETING WHEN IT IS YOUR TURN TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT. YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS IS A NEW PROTOCOL, BUT IT WON'T BE THE PERMANENT ONE. WRITTEN COMMENTS ARE ALWAYS ACCEPTED. OKAY, WITH THAT, WILL THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE CONSENT MATTERS? >> ITEMS 1 THROUGH 42, AMENDING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 16.85 TITLE 16 RELATING TO THE ROADWAY CREDIT REIMBURSEMENT PROVISIONS OF THE FLORIN VINEYARD IMPACT FEE. TITLE 5 OF THE WATER CODE RELATING TO THE EXEMPTION OF WATER DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR CERTAIN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND WAIVING READING ON THIS AND CONTINUING TO JULY 28TH FOR ADOPTION AND THIS CONCLUDES THE CLERK'S NOTES. >> OKAY, ANY MEMBER OF THE BOARD WISH TO PULL AN ITEM FOR SEPARATE CONSIDERATION OR COMMENT? SUPERVISOR NOTTOLI >>> YES, I DON'T NEED TO PULL THE ITEM OFF THE CONSENT CALENDAR BUT I WANTED TO OFFER SOME COMMENTS ON A COUPLE OF ITEMS, MR. CHAIR. ITEMS 21 AND 25. >> OKAY.. >> AND THEN 25 IS THE NORTH VINEYARD STATION SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAM, AUTHORIZE A REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT FOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEDGE 22 DEVELOPMENT. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. I MENTIONED THIS IN MY BRIEFING WITH MR. GILL YESTERDAY THAT WE CONTINUE TO SEE ACTIVITY. I SUPPORT OBVIOUSLY BOTH OF THESE CONSENT ITEMS, BUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY IN THE VINEYARD AREA, NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IN THAT AREA. AND WITH OUR ACTION SOME MONTHS AGO AS FAR AS THE FEE PROGRAM IN THAT NORTH VINEYARD AND VINEYARD AREA, WE TOOK OUT OF THE CALCULATION THE CROSSING OF THE RAILROAD, THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA TRACTION LINE IN THE AREA BETWEEN GERBER AND FLORIN ROAD, SO A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT, I REFERENCE 21 AND 25 BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE VICINITY WHERE WE SEE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS BEING DEVELOPED. PEOPLE ARE PLEASED TO BE LIVING THERE, PLEASED WITH THEIR SCHOOLS AND PARKS AND WE'VE TRIED TO KEEP PACE OBVIOUSLY WITH ROAD CONSTRUCTION, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY MECHANISM CURRENTLY FOR FUNDING WHAT'S ANTICIPATED AS A PART OF THAT PLAN, AND THAT WATERMAN ROAD IS A SIGNIFICANT NORTH/SOUTH CONNECTORROR CONNECTOR THE COMMUNITY. IT BEGINS AT GRANT LINE ROAD AND SOME DAY MAYBE EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS JACKSON HIGHWAY. OBVIOUSLY THAT'S MANY YEARS OUT. BUT THAT CROSSING, THAT RAILROAD CROSSING IS VERY KEY TO NEIGHBORHOOD CONNECTIVITY AND TO MOVEMENT WITH THE MAJOR ARTERIAL LIKE THAT. A LOT OF IT CONSTRUCTED IN SOME OF THOSE NEW NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT IT'S GOING TO STOP, DEAD-END AT THE RAILROAD TRACKS, SO PART OF MY REASON FOR COMMENTING ON IT TODAY IS THAT WE NEED TO, THROUGH OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS, TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE CONTEMPLATE FINANCING THAT IMPROVEMENT. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ANTICIPATING THAT AND AS TRAFFIC PRESSURES GROW IN THE AREA, THEN IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE CRITICAL FOR NEIGHBORHOODS FOR MOVEMENT OF NOT JUST MOTOR VEHICLES, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD CONNECT SCHOOLS AND PARKS AND NEW NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER. WE TOOK IT OUT, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A STRATEGY FOR HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUND THAT CROSSING, BECAUSE WE CONTINUE TO SEE MAPS AND AGAIN, IT'S HEALTHY TO SEE THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. PEOPLE ARE PLEASED WITH THEIR NEW NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET A CHANCE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION LATER THIS YEAR ABOUT THAT, MR. GILL. MR. HARTWIG AS WELL. AND THEN ON AN UNRELATED ITEM, BUT CERTAINLY IN THE SAME PART OF THE WORLD, ITEM 32. >> OKAY. ITEM 32 IS THE ELK GROVE FLORIN ROAD BRIDGE AND WIDENING PROJECT, AWARDED TO DAYS GTA DAA GATES CONSTRUCTION. >> WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS IMPROVEMENT FOR THE BETTER PART OF 20 YEARS AND I KNOW SUPERVISORS KENNEDY AND SERNA SHARE PORTIONS OF THE AREA, BUT CERTAINLY WE ALL AS COUNTY SUPERVISORS, WHETHER SOUTH WATT, ELK GROVE FLORIN CONNECTION THAT CONNECTS THE ENTIRETY OF THE COUNTY FROM ELK GROVE ALL THE WAY TO THE COUNTY LINE AND BEYOND, THIS HAS BEEN A KEY POINT OF CONGESTION AND A LOT OF FRUSTRATION OUT THERE. AND I KNOW THAT OUR DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, I CERTAINLY WANT TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT TO, YOU KNOW, RON AND DAN AND MR. HARTWIG AND OTHERS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS OVER THE COURSE AS I SAID OVER THE BETTER PART OF TWO DECADES IN TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER THE FINANCING BUT ALSO THE PROJECT AND HAVING TO DESIGN IT, AND THIS WILL MAKE FOR SAFER MOVEMENT FOR PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION ALONG THE CORRIDOR THERE. AND SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THE BIDS CAME IN WELL UNDER WHAT WE ESTIMATED AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE PROJECT COMPLETE. THANKS. >> SUPERVISOR FROST, SUPERVISOR PETERS? OKAY. MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THE CONSENT ITEMS? >> WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC SPEAKERS FOR THE CONSENT MATTERS. >> VERY GOOD. THEN WITH THAT, I'D ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR CONSENT. >> SO MOVED. >> MOVED BY SUPERVISOR FROST, SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR KENNEDY. PLEASE VOTE. >> UNANIMOUS VOTE. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WANT TO GIVE COMMENT ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA? >> YES, FOR YOUR OFF-AGENDA COMMENTS, WE HAVE SIX SPEAKER REQUESTS, AND SO I'M READY WHEN YOU ARE. HI, CALLER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> OKAY, MY NAME IS KITTY. I LIVE IN SACRAMENTO AND I'M CALLING BECAUSE I THINK IT'S INSANE THAT 71% OF THE COUNTY'S BUDGET GOES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, PARTICULARLY WHEN THIS YEAR THEY'VE GONE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE COUNTY. SO I'M CALLING TO SAY THAT YOU SHOULD DEFUND THE SHERIFF, STOP EXTENDING THE JAIL AND TONS OF INMATES DURING THE CORONAVIRUS AND INSTEAD YOU SENT MANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. >> THANKS, KITTY. >> HI, CALLER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS AND GO AHEAD WITH YOUR COMMENTS. >> MY NAME IS JEFFREY AND I'M AN APPLICANT AND FIRST I WANT TO THANK FILL PHIL SERNA FOR MAKINS AVAILABLE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A GREAT DIFFICULTY. I BELIEVE YOU CAN HEAR ME. MY SECOND COMMENT WILL BE IS I HEAR BACKGROUND NOISE THROUGH THERE, IS THAT I BELIEVE YOU'RE HAVING A PROTEST RELATED TO THE SACRAMENTO TRANSIT AUTHORITY PROPOSITION A. I BELIEVE YOU MEMBERS THAT ARE ON THE SACRAMENTO TRANSIT AUTHORITY NEED TO NOT ONLY RESCIND THE PROPOSITION A BUT YOU NEED TO COME UP WITH WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO IN 2022 OR 2024 EMBARK UPON A SACRAMENTO TRANSPORTATION TAX. THE STA BOARD NEEDS TO DO A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE BEST WAY A TAX SHOULD BE GENERATED TO DRIVE THESE CONCERNS. AND AGAIN, I WILL OFFER A THANK-YOU, BOARD, FOR DOING THIS. IT'S A LITTLE DISCONCERTING TO HAVE THE BACKGROUND COMING BACK IN THERE, BUT I BELIEVE YOU CAN HEAR ME AND CAN I HEAR A CONFIRMATION OF THAT? >> YES, THANK YOU, JEFF. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S THE END OF MY COMMENT. >> THANKS, JEFF. >> WE MIGHT WANT TO REMIND FOLKS TO TURN DOWN THEIR VOLUME ON THEIR TV SO THERE'S NO FEEDBACK. >> HI, CALLER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU'LL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS. >> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS COURTNEY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> GO AHEAD. >> I'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON A FEW ITEMS, SO I'LL KEEP IT SHORT. THESE CAN ALL BE CONTEXTUALIZED WITH AN OFF-AGENDA COMMENT WHICH IS THAT THERE'S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME FOR THIS BOARD TO TRULY REVISIT THE BUDGET AND DEEPLY REIMAGINE IT. DURING THIS CONVERSATION OF DEFUNDING LAW ENFORCEMENT, THAT INCLUDES OUR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, WHICH IS CAUSING A LOT OF HARM IN OUR COMMUNITY AND TAKES A HUGE PORTION OF THE BUDGET, SO THAT'S AN OFF-AGENDA COMMENT. I OPPOSE ITEM 19 BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT POLICE DO NOT MAKE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATIONS ANY SAFER. ITEM 48 REGARDING SHRA, THIS IS A LANDLORD BONUS THAT DOES NOT ENSURE THAT TENANTS ACTUALLY GET TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES. AND I ASK THIS BOARD TO PLEASE ENSURE THAT CARES ACT FUNDING GOES DIRECTLY TO SUPPORTING PEOPLE IN NEED. YOU DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH LANDLORDS. ITEM NUMBER 30, THE FDHA GRANT APPLICATION, JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT SHRA HAS AN AWFUL RECORD OF ENSURING THAT WE HAVE ADEQUATE AND HABITABLE SOCIAL HOUSING IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY WHICH WE KNOW IS POSSIBLE AND WE DESERVE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> HI, CALLER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU WILL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS. ALSO IF YOU'RE WATCHING THE MEETING IN THE BACKGROUND, COULD YOU PLEASE MUTE THOSE DEVICES, INCLUDING THE TELEVISION? >> SURE.. >> AND YOU CAN GO AHEAD WITH YOUR COMMENTS. >> SURE. MY NAME IS KULA KOENIG AND I AM A RESIDENT OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY DISTRICT 3 AND IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I GIVE THIS COMMENT, BECAUSE THE COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO HAS HAD A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE. THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY TIMES WHERE I HAVE REACHED OUT TO ASK FOR THINGS AROUND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EQUITY, AND I HAVE GOTTEN BLANK STARES OR NO RESPONSE FROM THOSE WHO ARE IN POSITIONS OF POWER. I REACHED OUT TO FIND OUT HOW WE WERE SPENDING OUR COVID-19 DOLLARS AND WAS TOLD THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD ASK MATT GILL, WHICH IS NOT THE PERSON THAT I ELECTED. I THEN PUT OUT A SURVEY TO ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT WHAT PEOPLE WANTED AND SENT THIS FOLLOW-UP TO BRIT FERGUSON AND BRUCE WAGSTAFFE, BECAUSE PEOPLE WANTED RENTAL AND MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE. AGAIN, I WAS TOLD BY BRUCE AND BRIT THAT THEY BASICALLY COULDN'T DO THAT. I ASKED THEM TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROCESS FOR HOW THEY WOULD ALLOCATE THOSE FUNDS AND I HEARD NOTHING. YOU'RE ABOUT TO FINALIZE A BUDGET IN SEPTEMBER. WHAT I'M WONDERING IS WHY WHY DS THE COUNTY HAVE SUCH BLATANT DISREGARD FOR THOSE MOST DISENFRANCHISED, WHO ARE IMPACTED, WHO ARE UNDER-RESOURCED? WHY SUCH A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE? WHEN I'M SITTING ON THE BOARD OF THE HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL AND I ASK ABOUT THE PLAN IN THE GENERAL PLAN FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, I GET BLANK STARES. WHEN I GO BACK TO ASK A FOLLOW-UP IN A MEETING THREE MONTHS LATER, I STILL GET BLANK STARES. WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR BUDGET, WHAT I AM ASKING IS THAT INSTEAD OF THE 70% OF THE GENERAL FUND GOING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, THAT THAT MONEY GO TO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AND TO COMMUNITY-LED SOLUTIONS. AS A COUNTY, YOU HAVE CREATED A MOUNTAIN. YOU HAVE BUILT A WALL AGAINST ANY ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOU A MORE EQUITABLE ORGANIZATION. SO MY COMMENT TODAY IS ACTUALLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING WHO CARE ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE TO JOIN US ABOUT VICTIMSES IN US UG PEOPLE WHO CARE. WE KEEP ASKING, I'M EVEN ASKING NOW BUT YOU'RE NOT EVEN LISTENING, SO THIS COMMENT IS A PLEA TO THOSE WHO CARE BECAUSE I'VE LOST FAITH IN YOU ALL AS A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU DON'T RESPOND. YOU GIVE BLANK STARES. YOU TELL ME TO GO TO MATT GILL WHO I DID NOT ELECT. WE ARE IN A WHOLE PANDEMIC RIGHT NOW WHERE NOTHING IS AS WE KNOW IT. SO YOU CAN'T EVEN BE BOLD TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM, TO BE FOR THE LEAST OF THESE? NOT JUST THOSE WHO ARE MORE PRIVILEGED IN YOUR DISTRICTS? I'M ASKING EVERYONE ELSE THAT CARES ABOUT THIS TO COME JOIN US AT OUR PRESS CONFERENCE RIGHT NOW OUTSIDE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO US, AND SO WE HAVE TO CHANGE IT OURSELVES, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> HI, CALLER. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENT. IF YOU HAVE ANY DEVICES ON WATCHING THIS MEETING, COULD YOU PLEASE SILENCE THEM AND PLEASE GO AHEAD WITH YOUR COMMENTS. >> EVAN MINTON. HI, MY NAME IS EVAN MINTON AND I'M CALLING TO STATE I SUPPORT THE PEOPLE'S BUDGET. CURRENTLY 37% OF THE COUNTY GENERAL FUND GOES TO THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND WE NEED TO ASK IF THAT'S TRUE IN SERVING THE PEOPLE. ADDITIONALLY, CURRENTLY 71% OF THE COUNTY GENERAL FUND GOES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, JAILS, AND COURTS. AND WE NEED TO ASK IF THAT'S TRULY SERVING THE PEOPLE. I HAVE LIVED AND PAID TAXES IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY FOR OVER A THIRD OF MY LIFE. MY ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS THAT OUR BUDGET AND MY TAX DOLLARS ARE NOT TRULY SERVING THE PEOPLE. I IMPLORE YOU TO DIVEST FROM THE BLOATED SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND COUNTY JAILS AND INVEST IN COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES INSTEAD. I ALSO SUPPORT "MOVE THE VOTE" IN ORDER TO EXPAND VOTER PARTICIPATION IN CALIFORNIA'S LOCAL POLITICAL ARENAS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. >> THANK YOU. >> CALLER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS. IF YOU HAVE THE MEETING RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, PLEASE SILENCE YOUR DEVICES AND GO AHEAD WITH YOUR COMMENTS. >> MY NAME IS REGINA CON CONLEYD I THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME TO BRING MY CONCERN FORWARD. I HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS TO ALL THE SUPERVISORS AND SENT THEM TO THEIR E-MAIL AND TO ALSO TO THE CLERK. MY CONCERN IS THIS. I'VE BEEN IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 35 YEARS. I WAS ON THE INSURANCE CARRIER SIDE FOR HALF OF THAT TIME AND LEFT TO GO TO THE BUSINESS SIDE ON MY OWN AND WITH ANOTHER AGENCY SO THAT I COULD MAKE SURE THAT MY CLIENTS, THEIR NEEDS WERE BEST MET, BECAUSE THE INSURANCE CARRIERS ARE NOT OUR FRIEND. AND I KNOW VERY WELL THAT THE INSURANCE CARRIERS WILL TRY TO DO THEIR BEST TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR ANYTHING THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR, AND THEREIN LIES MY CONCERN ALONG WITH THE SAFETY OF MY NEIGHBORS AND MYSELF. FIREWORKS THIS YEAR WERE ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. IT STARTED IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY AND IT CARRIED ON THROUGH AND UP TO THIS PAST SUNDAY WHEN THERE WERE ILLEGAL FIREWORKS GOING OFF IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AT 5:30 IN THE MORNING. NEXT DOOR, MY NEIGHBORS POSTED PICTURES OF PARTS OF PIPE BOMBS THAT WERE IN THEIR YARD AND ALSO IN THE STREETS. WE REPORTED THE ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AND THE FIREWORKS THAT WERE GOING OFF BEFORE THE TIME THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED TO GO OFF, AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T THE MANPOWER, THERE WASN'T FUNDING, AND EVERYBODY BLAMED EVERYBODY ELSE FOR IT. AND IT JUST CONTINUED TO GO ON. AND MY CONCERN IS THIS. IF THE COUNTY NEEDS TO HAVE FUNDING TO MAKE SURE THAT FIREWORKS ARE MANAGED SO THAT IT'S NOT HAPPENING, THEN WE NEED TO GO TO THE STATE TO GET THAT MONEY OR WHEREVER, BUT IT NEEDS TO STOP. OUR AIR QUALITY IS IMPACTED. I DEAL WITH MEDICAL CLAIMS ALL OF THE TIME FOR MY CLIENTS AND MY MOTHER DIED FROM COPD AND I KNOW VERY WELL THAT IT'S DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE WHEN THEY CAN'T BREATHE. I HAVE TWO AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO GET AROUND. AND DURING THIS FIREWORK TIME, I WAS OVERWATERING MY YARD AND PREOCCUPIED WITH THE FACT THAT I HAD FIREWORKS COMING OVER MY FENCE INTO MY YARD, LANDING ON MY GRASS, AND CALIFORNIA IS A TINDERBOX. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE WE'RE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH FIRE, AND IT JUST SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO ME. NOW, I DON'T -- I'M NOT COMPLETELY AGAINST FIREWORKS. I UNDERSTAND ABOUT CAL EXPO AND SITUATIONS LIKE THAT, THAT'S OKAY. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE ONLINE FIREWORKS THAT ARE ILLEGAL AND THAT NEEDS TO STOP. I KNOW THAT OTHER COUNTIES, NEVADA COUNTY AND COUNTIES IN LIKE NEVADA COUNTY IN CALIFORNIA AND THEN COUNTIES IN ACTUAL NEVADA, LIKE LAS VEGAS, HAVE RESTRICTED FIREWORKS, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS WELL. THAT IS BASICALLY MY CONCERN. AND I'M HOPING THAT WE FIGURE OUT A NEW WAY FOR THE CHARITIES TO COME UP WITH WAYS -- >> CAN YOU PLEASE WRAP UP YOUR COMMENTS? >> YES. >> THANK YOU. >> OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT WELL RECEIVED. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS GETTING SICK OF LISTENING ABOUT THIS, BUT IT'S A FIRESTORM GOING TO HAPPEN AND I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE GOING TO WAIT UNTIL SENIOR HOMES ARE BURNT DOWN OR BUSINESSES ARE BURNT DOWN BEFORE SOMEBODY DOES ANYTHING, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANKS, REGINA. >> WE HAVE ONE OTHER PERSON THAT GOT TRANSFERRED IN. >> OKAY. >> CALLER, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO MAKE YOUR COMMENTS. IF YOU HAVE THE MEETING RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, PLEASE SILENCE THOSE DEVICES AND PLEASE GO AHEAD WITH YOUR COMMENTS. >> STACY MEYER. MY COMMENTS ARE CONCERNING SACRAMENTO COUNTY'S CURRENT COVID-19 STATE OF AFFAIRS. FIRST, WHY DID THE SUPERVISORS MEETINGS CONTINUE TO BE CLOSED TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS? WHO WAS MAKING THESE DECISIONS AND WHAT METRICS ARE THEY USING? BECAUSE THE METRICS THE STATE IS USING TO DETERMINE WHICH COUNTIES NEED TO BE CLOSED TO BUSINESS IS BASED ON FAULTY DATA. JUST BECAUSE A HOSPITAL PATIENT TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID DOES NOT THE MEAN THAT THE PATIENT IS IN HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF COVID. SAME GOES FOR PATIENTS IN INTENSIVE CARE. THESE ARE IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE. ING TO THE COUNTY,, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED IN SAC COUNTY DUE TO COVID-19 STOOD AT 79. THAT IS 0.0052% OF THE POPULATION OR FIVE PER 100 INHABITANTS. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT ALL 79 DEATHS WERE AMONG PERSONS AGED 65 AND OLDER, HAD UNDERLYING CONDITIONS, AND/OR OTHER RISK FACTORS. COMPARE THAT TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES. THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY AT LAST OFFICIAL COUNT, MAY 1ST, WAS 98,300. THAT IS 6434 PER 100,000 INHABITANTS. THIS IS CRIMINAL. ALTHOUGH EVERY DEATH NO MATTER WHAT THE CAUSE IS SAD, THESE COVID NUMBERS DO NOT NECESSITATE A NEED TO CLOSE OUR SEVERELY LIMIT BUSINESSES AND CONTINUE TO DECIMATE OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND RUIN PEOPLE'S LIVES. AND THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT JUSTIFY KEEPING YOUR CONSTITUENTS LOCKED OUT OF THESE MEETINGS. I AM REQUESTING A TOWN HALL MEETING TO INCLUDE THE CITIZENS, COUNTY SUPERVISORS, AND THE COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER, BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH MISINFORMATION, CONFUSION, AND UNNECESSARY FEAR SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY BY THE GOVERNOR AND THE MEDIA. LOCAL SHAWL SMALL BUSINESSES SIY CAN'T SURVIVE IN THIS CURRENT ENVIRONMENT AND I FEAR FOR OUR FUTURE. WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND GET TO THE TRUTH OF THIS MATTER. WITH GOVERNOR NEWSOM ORDERING BUSINESSES TO ONCE AGAIN CLOSE WITHOUT A LEGISLATIVE PROCESS TO DO SO, I URGE YOU TO ISSUE A PROCLAMATION TO END THE STATE OF EMERGENCY IN SACRAMENTO IMMEDIATELY AND SAVE OUR COMMUNITY FROM CERTAIN ECONOMIC RUIN. THANK YOU. >> THANKS. ALL RIGHT, I BELIEVE THAT CONCLUDES OUR TELEPHONIC PUBLIC COMMENT? >> MR. CHAIR, THE PUBLIC MEETING, THE PUBLIC ACCESS IS CLOSED. THIS IS ONLY STAFF WHO SHOULD BE IN THE CHAMBERS AT THIS TIME. >> OKAY. VERY GOOD, THANK YOU. BUT DOES THAT CONCLUDE OUR -- >> THIS CONCLUDES OUR COMMENTS. AND I WANT TO SAY FOR THE RECORD THE PUBLIC CAN DIAL 9(116)875-2500 IF THEY'D LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT DURING THE MEETING. >> AND I'LL EVERYONE SIDES EMPHE SYSTEM IS BETTER THAN BEFORE WHICH ENABLES FOLKS TO COMMUNICATE IN REAL TIME WITH THE BOARD TO EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND ABOUT ITEMS THAT ARE NOT POSTED IS TEMPORARY. SO WE DO EXPECT TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO WORK A LITTLE BIT BETTER IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. SUPERVISOR KENNEDY? >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. AND TO THE CLERK, WELL DONE. >> IS YOUR MIC ON? >> YES. ALTHOUGH I'M SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM IT. [ LAUGHTER ] MR. GILL, I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE COMMENT ON THE FIREWORKS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL VISIT EVERY -- IT USUALLY STARTS IN MAY. AND IT SEEMS TO BE EVERY YEAR WORSE AND WORSE. IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE STARTING TO GET AHEAD OF IT THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND THAT KIND OF FELL AWAY WITH THE COMMITTEE THAT WAS SET UP TO WORK ON THE ISSUE. AND SO IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN AGENDIZED ITEM, BUT IF YOU COULD GET BACK TO THE BOARD AND JUST GIVE US AN UPDATE ON WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT ORGANIZATION IS AND IF THERE'S ANY MOVEMENT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE WE GET TO NEXT SUMMER? I AGREE WITH THE CALLER AND ALL OF THE CALLERS THAT HAVE CALLED INTO OUR OFFICE. IT IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. I THINK WE'VE SEEN THE VIDEO FROM KCRA. IT LOOKED LIKE THE REVOLUTION. AND I THINK THAT AFTER WE GET THROUGH JULY, WE TEND TO SET IT ASIDE AND I'D LIKE TO PUT IT AT THE FRONT, THE FOREFRONT OF THE BOARD'S AGENDA FOR ADDRESSING FOR THE NEXT SUMMER. >> GOT IT. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR NOTTOLI? >> YES, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. AND CERTAINLY I WANT TO EXTEND APPRECIATION TO THE CHAIR AN TO OUR CLERK FOR WORKING TO ACCOMMODATE IN REAL TIME COMMENTARY AT TODAY'S MEETING, WHETHER IT'S ON AGENDIZED OR NON-AGENDIZED ITEMS, AND I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID AS I PUNCHED UP TO ADDRESS THIS, BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH WE'RE GOING TO BE INTO AT LEAST A SITUATION WHERE CURRENTLY RELATIVE TO RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO MOVEMENT AND INTERACTIONS, BUT I WOULD HOPE AGAIN IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE COULD FIND A WAY TO ACTUALLY -- AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE IN A WAY THIS COMPLIANCE WITH HEALTH ORDERS AND ACCOMMODATE FOLKS IN THESE CHAMBERS, IF THEY HAVE TO ENTER OR EXIT INDIVIDUALLY OR IN SOME OTHER MANNER, AS I SEE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY, WE HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF STAFF, SOME OBVIOUSLY SUPPORTING THIS MEETING'S EFFORTS AND WE'VE GOT STICKERS ON THE CHAIRS NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THAT SAY MEDIA, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK TO A WAY AND PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING RELATED TO ANY ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA, BUT AS IT RELATES TO BUDGET. AND I KNOW YOU STRESSED THAT BEFORE -- I HAD THE SUMMER BREAK, THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE A TIME WHERE I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST AS THERE CURRENTLY IS, BUT A REAL FOCUS IN ON THIS BOARD'S DECISIONS AND DELIBERATIONS. AND SO AGAIN, I KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ZOOM AND TODAY AGAIN I THINK AT LEAST A RIGHT STEP FORWARD TO ACCOMMODATING REAL TIME, BUT I'M VERY INTERESTED, AS I KNOW I'M SURE OTHERS ON THIS BOARD IF NOT ALL OF US, IN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO ACCOMMODATE FOLKS SAFELY BUT ALSO ALLOW THEM TO EXERCISE A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF OUR DELIBERATIONS. THAT IS THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND VIEWS THAT ARE HELD RELATIVE TO ACTIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CALLED UPON TO TAKE HERE IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS. SECOND, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO COMMENT AND CERTAINLY ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS OF SUPERVISOR KENNEDY THAT THE CALLS TO MY OFFICE HAVE STARTED TO COME IN EVEN BEFORE WE HEARD Ms. CONNOLLY ON THE PHONE THIS MORNING, WE STARTED GETTING CALLS WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND. AND LAST YEAR, I THINK WE MADE SOME HEADWAY. I WOULD CONCUR THERE WAS A TASK FORCE WHICH THE COUNTY PARTICIPATED IN. WE WORKED WITH THE INDUSTRY, THE LEGAL FIREWORKS INDUSTRY, AND WITH OUR FIRE AGENCIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. THIS YEAR, WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT SAME PRESENCE AS RELATED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. IT WASN'T A BIG BUDGET ITEM LAST YEAR. I THINK IT WAS MODEST. IT MAY HAVE BEEN $100,000. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S OVERTIME AND DEPLOYMENT OF FOLKS DURING A HOLIDAY PERIOD. BUT I JUST THINK THAT WE GOT TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS. THE THREAT, THE FIRE DANGER, AND, YOU KNOW, TO ME, THE IMAGES I SAW ON SOME OF THE TELEVISION COVERAGE AND EVEN IN SOME OF THE MORE RURAL AREAS OF THE COUNTY, IT WAS WORSE THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR OR THAT I REMEMBER ANYWAY. AND SO WE CONTINUE -- WE NEED TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY. WE TALK ABOUT A LOT OF PRIORITIES, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON IT AND TO MR. KENNEDY'S POINT THAT WE GET INTO LATTER PARTS OF THE SUMMER AND THEN INTO WINTER AND IT KIND OF GETS SET ASIDE. BUT WE NEED TO BE PROACTIVE TO THE DEGREE THAT WE CAN AND IF ONLINE SALES OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS IS CONTRIBUTING TO ACCESS, THEN WE OUGHT TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. IT MAY REQUIRE ENFORCEMENT AND THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT AND IT MAY BE NOT EVERYONE IS AFFECTED THE SAME WAY BY IT, BUT IT HAS COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND CERTAINLY PRESENTS AN IMMINENT THREAT IN A LOT OF CASES AND SOME OF THOSE DISPLAYS WERE THE TYPES YOU'D SEE IF CALL EX HAD ACTUALLY DONE A DISPLAY. THEY'RE NOT FIREWORKS, THEY'RE MORTAR ROUNDS AND THAT PRESENTS HAZARDS TO THOSE LIGHTING THEM AND THOSE WATCHING UP CLOSE BUT ALSO TO NEIGHBORHOODS AND TO RESIDENTS ACROSS THIS COUNTY. AND SO IF WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT DOING SOMETHING, THEN WE NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION OBVIOUSLY WITH THE SHERIFF AND WITH OUR FIRE AGENCIES AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS WE CAN DO TO AT LEAST BE BETTER AND IT MAY ONLY PERTAIN TO THE UNINCORPORATED AREA, BUT NONETHELESS, WORKING IN COOPERATION TO FIND A WAY TO AT LEAST MAKE AN EFFORT TO DO SOMETHING. OTHERWISE, IT'S JUST PEOPLE HAVE AT IT AND WE'LL HEAR THESE COMMENTS EVERY YEAR IN GREATER NUMBERS. THANKS. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR FROST? >> I JUST WANTED TO THANK CHAIR SERNA FOR MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR US TO HAVE MORE LIFE-LIKE PUBLIC COMMENT AND THE VERY FOUNDATION OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS THAT WE REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, AND EVEN THOUGH THE CLERKS DO SUCH AN AMAZING JOB AT READING THOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS, THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT HEARING THEIR REAL VOICE AND THE TONES AND THE PASSION BEHIND THE COMMENTS THAT THEY'RE MAKING. AND SO THANK YOU, CHAIR SERNA, AND I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE SOME KUDOS TO FLO EVANS WHO IS OUR CLERK WHO IS SO WELL SPOKEN AND IS DOING SUCH AN AMAZING JOB WITH THAT PHONE DOWN THERE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHAIR SERNA. >> THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR FROST. AND I'LL CLOSE THIS PART OF OUR COMMENTARY WITH CERTAINLY MY THANKS TO FLO AND HER VERY CAPABLE STAFF FOR WORKING STRENUOUSLY DURING OUR RECESS TO MAKE SURE THAT AGAIN THE PUBLIC HAS REAL-TIME ACCESS TO PETITION THEIR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS SUPERVISOR FROST JUST ARTICULATED. IT'S A KEY ELEMENT OF WHAT WE DO IN TERMS OF OUR DECISION MAKING. IT IS CERTAINLY HEARIN FROM THOSE THAT WE HAVE THE HONOR OF REPRESENTING. AND TO DO SO AGAIN IN REAL-TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT. I ALSO WANT TO EXPRESS MY STRONG AGREEMENT WITH SUPERVISOR NOTTOLI IN TERMS OF THE INTEREST, AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY SHARED BY ALL OF US, OF HAVING SOME SENSE OF NORMALCY ACHIEVED IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE RELATIVE TO IN-PERSON TESTIMONY. CERTAINLY WHILE MAKING SURE THAT WE KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND APPROPRIATELY SOCIAL DISTANCED. I THINK THAT HAS BEEN AND REMAIN AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR AGENDA TO SEE THAT THAT HAPPENS. IT'S A BIT CHALLENGING AT THE MOMENT, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF JUST YESTERDAY'S DIRECTION FROM THE GOVERNOR IN TERMS OF GOING BACKWARDS AND CLOSING SOME OF THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES, SOCIAL ACTIVITY THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REOPENED. THAT MAKES IT THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT. BUT AGAIN, IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KEEP OUR EYE ON OUR ABILITY TO WELCOME FOLKS INTO THEIR CHAMBERS. IT'S NOT OUR CHAMBERS, IT'S THEIRS. AND THEN LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT WE DID RECEIVE A NUMBER OF WRITTEN COMMENTS ON A NUMBER OF ITEMS ON CONSENT AND ON TIME MATTERS AS WELL, SO THOSE CERTAINLY WILL FIND THEIR WAY INTO THE RECORD. >> CORRECT. >> SO THANK YOU. WITH THAT, OUR NEXT ITEM, PLEASE. >> SO FOR ITEM 43, THIS IS THE WATT AVENUE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE RENEWAL OF THE DISTRICT AND THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS TABULATION OF ASSESSMENT BALLOTS AND ADOPT RESOLUTIONS RENEWING THE DISTRICT AND AUTHORIZING THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021. THE ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION IS EXEMPT. >> GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, I'M BOB DAVIDSON, THE DIVISION CHIEF OF THE COUNTY ENGINEERING DIVISION AND I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT THIS ITEM TO RENEW THE WATT AVENUE P BID FOR A TERM OF TEN YEARS. THIS P BID WAS FIRST APPROVED BY THE BOARD IN 2015 AND THE WATT AVENUE P-BID ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE AREA WHICH IS SINCE THAT TIME WHICH IS IN THE VICINITY OF ROSEVILLE ROAD, WATT AVENUE NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. LATER IN THE AGENDA, I BELIEVE YOU WILL BE HEARING TESTIMONY REGARDING THE IMPACT OF THE P-BID DURING THE ANNUAL REPORT ITEM THAT IS LATER ON IN THE AGENDA. THE PROPOSED, BUT NEWELL PROPOSS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY IN THE DISTRICT. THE BOARD APPROVED THE RESOLUTION INTENTION TO RENEW THE DISTRICT ON MAY 5TH AND THAT RESOLUTION OF INTENTION SET TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING. AFTER THE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION WAS APPROVED, STAFF SENT OUT, MAILED 140 BALLOTS AND NOTICES TO 129 PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE DISTRICT AND THE BALLOTS WERE TO BE RETURNED TO THE CLERK OF THE BOARD AND BALLOTS MAY BE STILL RETURNED UP TO THE CLOSE OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING. SO FAR, 65 BALLOTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. ALSO, I WANT TO POINT OUT ONE WRITTEN PROTEST WAS RECEIVED AND THAT HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECORD. WITH THAT, I RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ANY COMMENTS OR TESTIMONY. AFTER THAT, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN TAKE THE FIRST TWO ACTIONS. THE FIRST ACTION IS TO RECOGNIZE THE EXEMPT STATUS OF THE PROJECT PURSUANT TO CEQA AND THEN THE SECTION ACTION IS TO DESIGNATE THE MANAGER OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS TO CONDUCT THE BALLOT TABULATION WHICH I'LL GIVE DETAILS ON IN A SECOND. AND THEN CONTINUE THIS ITEM UNTIL 2 p.m. FOR THE RESULTS OF THE TABULATION AND FOR FURTHER ACTION. THE TABULATION IS REQUIRED TO BE HELD IN A PUBLIC PLACE, SO SHORTLY AFTER THIS HEARING, THE TABULATION WILL BE HELD IN THE NEIGHBORING BUILDING TO THIS BUILDING, 827-7 STREET, ROOM 304 IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR. DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, THERE'S A LIMITATION OF SEVEN PEOPLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT ROOM. GIVEN PAST TABULATIONS, THEY'RE USUALLY NOT THAT WELL ATTENDED. THAT SHOULD ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. IF FOR SOME REASON WE HAVE MORE THAN SEVEN PEOPLE, AND THAT INCLUDES STAFF TOO, THAT NEED TO BE A PART OF THE TABULATION, WE ALSO HAVE A SKYPE CALL SET UP AND MY STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT SKYPE NUMBER TO ANYBODY WHO IS INTERESTED IN IT. SO WITH THAT, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE HEARING AND TAKE THE FIRST TWO ACTIONS. >> THANK YOU, BOB. ANY QUESTIONS FOR BOB? OKAY WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> TAKE ACTION ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT WHICH IS ITEM ONE AND THEN DESIGNATE THE MANAGER OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS TO CONDUCT THE TABULATION AND CONTINUE THIS ITEM UNTIL 2 P.M. >> OKAY. >> I'LL MOVE THE ITEM. >> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY SUPERVISOR PETERS, SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR FROST. PLEASE VOTE. >> MR. NOTTOLI? UNANIMOUS VOTE. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. AND WE'LL HEAR BACK FROM YOU THIS AFTERNOON, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, BOB. >> NEXT ITEM, PLEASE. >> ITEM 44 IS THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT ZONE 4 PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021, CONFIRM THE ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM AND LEVY ASSESSMENTS. >> THANK YOU. >> GOOD MORNING. TODAY'S ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS FOR THE LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021. TODAY WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER PUBLIC TESTIMONY, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND ADOPT ATTACHED RESOLUTION TO CONFIRM THE ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM AND LEVY ASSESSMENTS FOR THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021. THE LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PROVIDES FUNDING FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF LANDSCAPE MEDIANS, ROADWAY FRONTAGES AND OPEN SPACES WITHIN THE DISTRICT. THE DISTRICT'S BOUNDARIES ARE SHOWN IN ATTACHMENT 1. THE BOUNDARIES COVER APPROXIMATELY 19 AREAS IN THE DISTRICT WITH A MAJORITY OF THEM BEING IN THE NORTH COUNTY AND THE MORE ANTELOPE AREA. OVERALL, THE DISTRICT MAINTAINS APPROXIMATELY 2.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF LANDSCAPE AREAS WITHIN THE DISTRICT. THE REVENUE IS APPROXIMATELY -- OH, THE DISTRICT CURRENTLY COLLECTS AN ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF $42.50 PER RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AND $66.51 PER ACRE FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. THIS ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY $500,000 IN REVENUE GENERATED IN THE DISTRICT WHICH DOES NOT FULLY FUND THE OPERATIONAL COST OF THE DISTRICT. DUE TO PROPOSITION 218, WE ARE NOT ABLE -- WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE THE ASSESSMENTS. OVER THE YEARS, A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE ROAD FUND HAS ALLOWED US TO BALANCE THE BUDGET IN THE DISTRICT. NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET FOR THE DISTRICT IS APPROXIMATELY $1.1 MILLION AND AS DETAILED IN THE ENGINEER'S REPORT. THE ROAD FUND CONTRIBUTION THIS YEAR IS ANTICIPATED TO BE $364,904. SO TODAY AGAIN WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO ADOPT THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION TO CONFIRM THE ASSESSMENT DIAGRAM AND LEVY ASSESSMENTS WITHIN THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020-2021, AND THAT CONCLUDES MY SHORT PRESENTATION AND I'LL BE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR NOTTOLI. >> YEAH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION. SO LUPI, AS YOU NOTED, MOST OF THESE ARE LOCATED NORTH OF THE AMERICAN RIVER, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AREAS, ONE IN THE ROSEMONT AREA AND THEN ONE DOWN IN THE SOUTH SACRAMENTO AREA, BUT I GUESS I'M CURIOUS WHEN IT COMES TO REPLACEMENT OF PLANT MATERIALS AND SO FORTH, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE ARE NOT CENTER MEDIANS. THEY ARE EITHER AREAS THAT ARE ADJACENT TO DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED OVER THE YEARS AND SO FORTH. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT AGAIN IRRESPECTIVE OF WHAT THE BUDGET IS, IS THAT IF THINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED OR FRESHENED UP AND SO FORTH, IS THAT PART OF THE CONTRACT? IT'S ONE THING TO GO IN THERE AND MOW IF THERE'S LAWNS, ONE THING TO PRUNE FOR VISIBILITY FOR THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, BUT WHO -- I KNOW YOU HAVE FOLKS IN THE DEPARTMENT THAT OVERSEE THAT, BUT IS THERE SOME REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE BEYOND JUST THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE THAT WOULD SAY THAT, OKAY, EITHER TREES NEED TO BE REMOVED OR THOSE TREE SPECIES MAY RUN THEIR COURSE OR NEW SHRUBBERY? WHEN DO THOSE GET FRESHENED UP. I KNOW THERE'S A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE ROAD FUND ALTHOUGH IT'S MODEST COMPARED TO THE AMOUNT OF AREA THAT'S COVERED HERE. SO I GUESS I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT. >> SO WE HAVE AN ONGOING PROGRAM. STAFF HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD ABOUT EVALUATING THE DIFFERENT AREAS, SO AS THERE'S A NEED FOR SOME REPLACE IN THE IN SOME AREAS, THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM. SOME IRRIGATION UPGRADES TOO, SO THERE'S SOME MINOR WORK THAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS PROGRAM. NOT A BIG PROGRAM WHERE WE DO BIG PROJECTS, BUT FROM A MAINTENANCE PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE ABLE TO CHANGE OUT SOME LANDSCAPE AREAS, SMALLER AREAS THAT ARE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. >> OKAY. AND DO YOU DEPEND UPON CITIZEN REPORTS ON THAT? OR DO WE DO -- OBVIOUSLY YOU CONTRACT FOR THE MAINTENANCE. DO YOU DEPEND UPON YOUR CONTRACTOR? DOES SOMEONE GO OUT AND REGULARLY INSPECT THIS TO SEE? >> SO BRETT IS HERE IN THE OFFICE IF YOU WANTED TO HEAR, SO I HAVE BRETT AND ONE OF HIS STAFF THAT ARE ACTUALLY OUT IN THE FIELD MOST OF THE TIME EVALUATING, CHECKING THE LANDSCAPED AREAS WITH ANY ISSUES AND COORDINATING WITH THE CONTRACTORS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE. >> AND THE CONTRACTORS KNOW THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE? SO IF A TREE DIES AND THEY NEED TO TAKE IT OUT AND THEN REPLACE IT, THAT'S COVERED UNDER THE CONTRACT? OR IS THAT ANED A AN ADD-ON? >> I THINK THAT'S COVERED IN THE CONTRACT. >> VERY GOOD, THANKS. >> SUPERVISOR EXPERIMENTS? >> PETERS? LAUNCH THANK YOU. THE COMMENT ABOUT REPLACING LANDSCAPING ITEMS, I BELIEVE IT IS COVERED IN THE CONTRACT, BUT I WOULD SAY RARELY DOES THE CONTRACTOR NOTICE IT THEMSELVES, AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CALL IT IN. AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THE GENERAL PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE TO DO. AND I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THOSE OF US WHO ARE ROAMING AROUND OUR DISTRICTS TO NOTICE THE BIG HOLES IN THE LANDSCAPING. AND I WISH THERE WERE SOME ABILITY OF THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THIS IN SOME WAY. AND I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THAT, BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY LANDSCAPING GETS REPLACED IN MY DISTRICT IS IF I CALL AND COMPLAIN, AND THAT IS NOT A VERY EFFICIENT WAY AND IT'S NOT FAIR GIVEN THE CONTRACT THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE PLANTS, I'D SAY. SO THAT'S MY COMMENT ABOUT THAT. AND ACTUALLY, I HOPE YOU COULD COME BACK TO US WITH SOME IDEAS. I MEAN, WITH DRONES AND ALL THE CAMERAS YOU'VE GOT ON TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE LANDSCAPING IN MANY CASES ANYWAY. AND THE OTHER THING IS NOTING THAT THIS IS THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S BEEN ASSESSED FOR 26 YEARS? >> CORRECT. >> AND IT'S CAUSING A ROAD FUND CONTRIBUTION OF $365,000 A YEAR. AND I JUST DON'T THINK THE ROAD FUND CAN AFFORD THAT ANYMORE GIVEN THE STATUS OF OUR ROADS. I THINK WE'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE. THIS YEAR IS NOT THE YEAR PROBABLY AND IT'S TOO LATE TO RAISE THE ASSESSMENT, BUT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO -- CONSULTANTS, AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS ASSESSMENT. I MEAN, MEASURE A IS NOT GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT. WE'RE WRESTLING WITH SACOG ABOUT FAIR SHARES. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AND NONE OF THEM SO FAR ARE GIVING US MORE MONEY FOR OUR ROAD FUND, SO I HATE TO SEE ANY EXPENDITURE FOR THE ROAD FUND ON THINGS THAT SHOULD BE PAID FOR ANOTHER WAY. >> THERE WAS A RECENT EFFORT A FEW YEARS BACK TRYING TO WORK WITH A CONSULTANT TO TRY TO COME UP WITH A PLAN AND AT THAT TIME, IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE COULD TRY AGAIN AND LOOK FURTHER TO SEE IF THERE'S A DIFFERENT WAY TO LOOK AT IT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. IF THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR LUPE, WE DO HAVE TO OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING, CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> SO WE'LL GO AHEAD AND DO THAT. MADAM CLERK, DO WE HAVE ANYONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? >> NO COMMENTS. >> OKAY, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION. >> I MOVE STAFF'S RECOMMEND. >> IT'S BEEN MOVED BY SUPERVISOR NOTTOLI, SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR KENNEDY. PLEASE VOTE. >> COUNTY SERVICE AREA NUMBER 10, BENEFIT ZONE NUMBER 3, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE WRITTEN REPORT OF SERVICE CHARGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021, CONFIRM REPORT AND FIX CHARGES. >> YOU'RE BACK, BOB. >> GOOD MORNING, YES, I AM BACK. AND I'M HERE TO GIVE A SHORT PRESENTATION ON THE ANNUAL ACTIONS FOR COUNTY SERVICE AREA NUMBER 10. COUNTY SERVICE AREA NUMBER 10 WAS FORMED IN 2003 TO PROVIDE TRIP REDUCTION SERVICES FOR NEW GROWTH AREAS IN THE COUNTY. THE CURRENT ACTIVE ZONE IS ZONE 3 WHICH INCLUDES THE NORTH VINEYARD STATION, FLORIN VINEYARD. YOU RECEIVED THE WRITTEN REPORT OF OPERATING REQUIREMENTS AND SERVICE CHARGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 AND SET TODAY'S PUBLIC HEARING. IN THE WRITTEN REPORT, IT PROPOSED INCREASES TO THE SERVICE CHARGES BASED ON THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX WHICH THIS IS 3.31%. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BUDGET IN THE REPORT INCLUDE $140,000 FOR THE 50 CORRIDOR TMA, A CONTRACT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. AND THAT'S TO PROVIDE A VARIETY OF TRIP REDUCTION SERVICES WHICH INCLUDES (WORD OR NAME NOT VAN T YEAR INCREASING TO FOUR VAN POOLS FOR THE AREA, AND ACTUALLY UP UNTIL FEBRUARY BEFORE THE COVID PANDEMIC, THE FOUR VANS RESULTED IN THE REDUCTION OF MORE THAN 6,000 PEAK HOUR TRIPS. NOW, THE VAN POOLS ARE STILL RUNNING, BUT SINCE THE COVID PANDEMIC, THERE'S BEEN ABOUT A 50% REDUCTION IN RIDERSHIP, WHICH IS NOT SURPRISING GIVEN THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS. THE BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES $250,000 FOR RESERVES WHICH COULD BE USED FOR SERVICES INCLUDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHUTTLE SERVICES, WHICH IS STILL PLANNED IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU RECALL, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CONDUCTED A STUDY AND THEY PREDICTED THAT TRANSIT SHUTTLE SERVICES CAN BE IMPLEMENTED BETWEEN 3,000 AND 4,000 DWELLING UNITS EQUIVALENTS IN THE AREA AND AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE HAVE JUST OVER 2,000 DWELLING UNIT EQUIVALENTS IN THE AREA. SO IT WILL STILL BE SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE SHUTTLE SERVICES GET IMPLEMENTED. I RECOMMEND THE BOARD OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDER ANY TESTIMONY, CLOSE THE HEARING AND THEN ADOPT THE ALLOWS TO CONFIRM THE WRITTEN REPORT OF SERVICE CHARGES AND FIXED SERVICE CHARGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020-21. AND I'LL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR BOB? IF NOT, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> NO SPEAKERS. >> THANK YOU. WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY SUPERVISOR FROST. THE CHAIR WILL SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. >> UNANIMOUS VOTE. >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY, FOR ITEM 46, YOU'RE ACTING AS THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY WATER AGENCY. THIS IS THE PUBLIC HEARING TO PROCEED WITH PROJECTS AND LEVY ASSESSMENTS IN ZONE 13 OF THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY WASHINGTON AGENCY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021. >> GOOD MORNING. I'M KERRI SCHMITZ WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES. THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 ZONE 13 ASSESSMENT, IN 1987, THE BOARD APPROVED THE FORMATION OF ZONE 13 AND THE LEVYING OF ASSESSMENTS IN THE ZONE. THE PURPOSE OF ZONE 13 IS TO FUND LONG-RANGE PLANNING STUDIES RELATED TO WATER SUPPLY, DRAINAGE, AND FLOOD CONTROL WHICH BENEFIT PROPERTIES IN THE ZONE. ASSESSMENTS ARE LEVIED PER PARCEL BASED ON LAND USE AND THE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY IS THE SAME AS HAS BEEN APPROVED THE LAST 23 YEARS. IF APPROVED, THE 2021 ASSESSMENT WILL GENERATE APPROXIMATELY $2.3 MILLION FOR THE ZONE. THE ZONE CURRENTLY FUNDS PROGRAMS SUCH AS COMPLIANCE WITH THE SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT ACT, THE DELTA COMMUNITY'S FLOOD PROTECTION ACT, THE WATER FORM SUCCESSOR EFFORT AND THE HABITAT MANAGEMENT ELEMENT. AND IT CURRENTLY ADMINISTERS TWO GRANTS ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMNES GROUNDWATER BASIN. THIS MORNING I ASK THAT YOUR BOARD TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS. OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE PROJECT PROPOSED FOR ZONE 13 AND THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS IN THE ZONE. CONSIDER PUBLIC TESTIMONY. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION INSTITUTING PROJECTS AND LEVYING ASSESSMENTS IN ZONE 13 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021. THANK YOU. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? >> NO SPEAKERS. >> CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SUPERVISOR NOTTOLI? >> YES, I WOULD MOVE THE ITEM, BUT I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT TO KERRI AND CERTAINLY TO THE DEPARTMENT. I KNOW THAT AS YOU WENT THROUGH IN YOUR BRIEF SUMMARY, IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LOT, BUT THERE'S A LOT EMBODIED IN ANY NUMBER OF THE EFFORTS THAT YOU RELAYED, CERTAINLY THE GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT WORK THAT'S GOING ON AND AGAIN I KNOW THAT WE'RE A VERY STRONG PARTNER AND HAVE TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN HELPING TO NOT JUST SECURE THE FUNDING BUT ALSO OBVIOUSLY TO COORDINATE ACTIVITIES. ON THAT FRONT, THE WORK WITH THE FLOOD PROTECTION GRANT AND YOU'RE WORKING WITH CONSULTANTS AND CERTAINLY LOCAL FOLKS DOWN THERE AND OBVIOUSLY THE WATER FORUM AND THE HABITAT PORTION OF IT, SO I THINK THERE'S GOOD VALUE ATTRIBUTED TO WHAT ZONE 13 DOES AND AGAIN, IT'S ONGOING, BUT I THINK IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT WORK FROM THE STANDPOINT OF WATER SUPPLY AND FLOOD PROTECTION AND CERTAINLY CONSERVATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, SO AGAIN, THANKS, CARRIE, FOR YOUR WORK AND THE WORK OF YOUR DEPARTMENT AND I MOVE THE ITEM. >> THE CHAIR WILL SECOND. PLEASE VOTE. >> UNANIMOUS VOTE. >> THANK YOU. >> FOR ITEM 47, YOU'RE NOW BACK AS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. APPROVE THE 2019 ANNUAL REPORTS FOR THE ANTELOPE, CARMICHAEL, FLORIN ROAD, FULTON AVENUE AND WATT AVENUE PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS AND PROVIDE FOR THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021. >> JUST REAL QUICK BEFORE WE HEAR FROM STAFF, I FAILED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, I BELIEVE. >> NO, YOU DID. >> ALL RIGHT. I WASN'T SURE. >> YOU WERE QUICK. >> I WAS IN MY GROOVE THERE. >> GOOD JOB! [ LAUGHTER ] >> VERY GOOD. >> GOOD MORNING MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'M DOROTHY WITH THE COUNTY ENNEARING DIVISION AND I'M HERE TO PRESENT THIS ITEM. P BIDS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT WRITTEN REPORTS FOR EACH YEAR OF OPERATION IN ANCE WITH THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE. THESE REPORTS SUMMARIZE PRIOR YEAR ACTIVITIES, ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND FINANCIAL POSITIONS ALONG WITH PROVIDING THE SAME INFORMATION FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. THIS ITEM REQUESTS THAT YOUR BOARD APPROVE FIVE ANNUAL REPORTS AND ADOPT FOUR RESOLUTIONS WHICH AUTHORIZE THE UPCOMING LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR FOUR OF THE FIVE P-BIDS WITHIN THE COUNTY. THE FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS ARE PRESENT TO ADDRESS YOUR BOARD TODAY AND FOR THE ANTELOPE P-BODY,BIDS, WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES. AND MELINDA SENDS HER -- IS VERY SORRY THAT SHE CAN'T BE HERE. I THINK SHE CONTACTED SUPERVISOR PETERS TO LET HER KNOW SHE WOULD NOT BE HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 17 YEARS. >> RIGHT. >> SO UNLESS THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD SPECIFICALLY FOR COUNTY STAFF AND PRIOR TO PROCEEDING WITH THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS, I'D LIKE TO HAND OVER THIS PRESENTATION TO THE AFOREMENTIONED EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS. >> GREAT. THANK YOU, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF BEFORE WE HEAR FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS? SEEING NONE, OKAY. >> THANK YOU. >> GOOD MORNING. I'M CHRIS EVANS. I'M WITH THE ABC DISTRICT, THE ANTELOPE DISTRICT. I WANT TO START OFF BY FIRST OF ALL SAYING THANK YOU TO YOU. WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOME VERY STRANGE TIMES. I KNOW IN MY DISTRICT, WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOME VERY STRANGE TIMES AND I KNOW THAT EACH AND EVERY DAY, THE FIVE OF YOU ARE FACED WITH UNBELIEVABLE DECISIONS. AND I THINK YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. I KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS, BUT YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR STRONG SUPPORT. WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF YOUR FAMILIES. WE KNOW EVERY DAY THAT THEY'RE SACRIFICING AS WELL AND ALL THE EXTRA TIME YOU'RE PUTTING IN. AND LASTLY, WE APPRECIATE THE STRONG SUPPORT YOU HAVE FOR P BIDS. YOU'VE GOT FOUR P BIDS HERE TODAY AND SOME GREAT INFORMATION AND UPDATES FOR YOU. IN THE ABC DISTRICT, WE HAVE ONE SIMPLE THEORY. IT'S KIND OF MY MOTO. EVERY DAY IS A BRIGHT NEW DAY WITH UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY BUT TODAY IS A BRIGHT NEW DAY AND WE MOVE FORWARD THAT WAY. 78% OF THE FUNDS IN OUR DISTRICT GO TOWARDS SECURITY. OUR SECURITY IS CURRENTLY HANDLED BY SPS, SACRAMENTO PROTECTIVE SERVICES, BUT WE HAVE A POLICY OF COMPASSIONATE COMPLIANCE. THE VERY FIRST THING WE DO WITH EVERYBODY WE MEET IN THE DISTRICT IF THEY HAVE AN ISSUE AND OBVIOUSLY THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WE MEET THAT HAVE ISSUES, IT'S DRUG ADDICTION. DRUG ADDICTION IS THE NUMBER-ONE ISSUE THAT OUR SECURITY TEAM MEETS EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT'S NOT HOMELESSNESS. WE CALL IT HOMELESSNESS, BUT IT'S DRUG ADDICTION. TO THAT END, WE PROVIDE THEM WITH RESOURCES. WE GET THEM AS MUCH HELP AS WE POSSIBLY CAN THROUGH THE COMPASSION PART OF THE COMPASSIONATE COMPLIANCE. WE TRULY TRY TO HELP ANYBODY IN NEED. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE H.O.T. TEAM. THE HOMELESS OUTREACH TEAM FOR THE SACRAMENTO SHERIFF IS INSTRUMENTAL. THE P.O.P. TEAM, THEY'RE UNBELIEVABLE. WE ALSO WORK WITH THE OTHER P BIDS. IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN ABLE TO WORK WITH THE OTHER P BIDS. WE'RE FINDING A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN ONE P BID EXTEND INTO ANOTHER P BID AND BY WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE SACRAMENTO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, THE HOT TEAM, THE POP TEAM, WE'RE SOLVING SOME OF THOSE PROBLEMS. EDO HAVE BIWEEKLY ZOOM MEETINGS, WE HAVE SECURITYUPS, UPDATES, AD WE HAVE 602 REPORTS. BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TRACKING THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE NOTICES OF TRESPASS FROM ONE P BID TO ANOTHER AND WE'RE FINDING THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED MORE HELP. AND WHEN WE CAN IDENTIFY SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN IN ONE DISTRICT AND GOT TEN 602S AND ANOTHER DISTRICT AND GOTTEN MORE 602S, THOSE PEOPLE NEED HELP AND WE TRY TO REACH OUT TO THEM AND FIND OUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM. SO THAT'S WHAT 602 REPORTS DO. OUR AVERAGE CALLS RIGHT NOW, LAST YEAR IN 2019, WE HAD 44 CALLS A MONTH FOR SERVICE FOR OUR SECURITY TEAM. THEY DID ABOUT 11 NOTICES OF TRESPASS AND ABOUT FOUR MAJOR EVENTS. SO IF YOU FIGURE A REGULAR CALL TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES, A 602, ISSUING A 602 WITH PROPER I.D. TAKES ABOUT 45 MINUTES, AND A MAJOR CALL TAKES ABOUT 90 MINUTES, THAT MEANS THERE WAS ABOUT 1008 HOURS THAT WAS NOT CALLS TO THE SACRAMENTO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. >> CAN I ASK WHAT CONSTITUTES A MAJOR INCIDENT? >> A MAJOR INCIDENT WOULD BE SOMETHING WHERE THERE'S AN ARREST. THE OTHER DAY, A MAJOR INCIDENT, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A SHOOTING, SO ANYTHING THE SECURITY TEAM HAS TO RESPOND TO THAT WOULD TYPICALLY THE INVOLVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AS WELL OTHER THAN 602'S OR NOTICES OF TRESPASS. SO THAT'S $28,700, BECAUSE WHEN WE PAY THE SACRAMENTO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR OFF-DUTY, IT'S ABOUT $8 $88 AN HOUR. THAT WORKS OUT TO ABOUT $28,000 LAST YEAR. AND THIS YEAR, BY THE WAY, UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE TRENDING INSTEAD OF HAVING 44 CALLS A MONTH, WE'RE UP TO 95. INSTEAD OF HAVING 11 NOTICES OF TRESPASS, WE'RE UP TO 45. SO THIS YEAR, WE'RE WELL ON TRACK TO SAVE ABOUT $88,000 WORTH OF SERVICES FOR SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT THAT THE P BID WILL ASSUME TO OUR SECURITY TEAMS. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY TREND DATA THAT SHOWS ANY DISTINCTION IN CALLS FOR SERVICE OR SECURITY ISSUES AFTER THE THIRD WEEK OF MARCH WHEN WE WENT INTO LOCKDOWN? >> WE CAN ABSOLUTELY GET THAT FOR YOU. THE 602 REPORTS ACTUALLY ALLOWS US TO TRACK THAT TO NOT ONLY WHEN THEY WERE ISSUED BUT WHERE. >> IT WOULD BE KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT EFFECT, IF ANY, THE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER MAY HAVE HAD, WHETHER IT BE NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE ON THOSE CALLS FOR SERVICE. >> NO, I AGREE. AND EACH WEEK, NOT ONLY DO THE SHERIFF'S STAFF, CAPTAIN BARNES, THE HOT TEAM, THEY GET COPIES OF THAT REPORT BUT SO DOES THE DATA PROCESSING CENTER FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY AND WE WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH THEM TO EXCHANGE DATA AND MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT ACCURATE INFORMATION GOING OUT TO SECURITY OFFICERS AS WELL. IN CLOSING, LET ME JUST SAY THE LAST THING WE DO, 78% OF OUR MONEY GOES INTO SECURITY. THE NEXT BIGGEST ONE IS 8% AND THAT GOES INTO MAINTENANCE AND CLEANUP. AND RIGHT NOW IN THE ANTELOPE DISTRICT, WHEN WE STARTED, WE AVERAGED 33 OVERNIGHT PARKERS A NIGHT. WE AVERAGED ABOUT 12 SEMIS PARKED IN THE DISTRICT ILLEGALLY OVERNIGHT AND WE HAD ABOUT EIGHT HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME. ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WE'RE NOW DOWN TO SIX ENCAMPMENTS WHICH WITH THE HOT TEAM WE'RE ABLE TO HELP AND MAINTAIN ON A PRETTY REGULAR BASIS. BUT AGAIN, I JUST IN CLOSING WANT TO SAY WE FIND THE H.O.T. TEAM AND THE P.O.P. TEAM TO BE INSTRUMENTAL IN MAINTAINING CONTROL WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. BECAUSE OF THE LAWS THE VOTERS HAVE PASSED, YOU WELL KNOW THERE'S VERY LITTLE RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR HOW WE CAN GET SOME OF THESE ADDICTED PEOPLE HELP. AND THE HOT TEAM HAS THE ABILITY TO HELP US DO THAT AND WE COUNT ON THEM. THEY'RE INSTRUMENTAL IN GETTING -- IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE HOT TEAM THE WAY THEY ARE RIGHT NOW, THESE NUMBERS WOULD PROBABLY BE DOUBLE IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. I'D LIKE TO SAY, SUPERVISOR PETERS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU, BUT THE FEW TIMES WE DID, SHE KEPT CALLING ME THE P BID GUY, SO I HAVE ENJOYED WORKING WITH YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> SUPERVISOR PETERS. >> I JUST WANTED TO -- IT'S NOT REALLY A QUESTION, BUT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE P.O.P. TEAM AND THE H.O.T. TEAM. DURING THE PROTESTS AND THE RIOTING AND SPECIFICALLY THE LOOTING, THE NORTH AREA COMMANDER WAS REALLY HELPFUL USING THE P BIDS TO DISSEMINATE INFORMATION TO BUSINESSES ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND HOW TO REPORT THINGS. I HEARD FROM SO MANY PEOPLE SAYING IT WAS SO VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE ANOTHER PLACE OF INFORMATION ABOUT A SUBJECT THAT, YOU KNOW, WE AS SUPERVISORS MAY NOT BE AS IN TUNE WITH AS THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. >> CAPTAIN BARNES WAS LEADING MEETINGS JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY, ZOOM MEETINGS, AND WE'D HAVE 15, 20 PEOPLE IN THERE. >> SUPERVISOR FROST? >> CHRIS, BEFORE YOU GO AWAY, I JUST WANTED -- >> I KEEP TRYING TO GET AWAY! [ LAUGHTER ] >> FIRST I WANTED TO SAY THAT IT'S APPRECIATED THAT THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE P BIDS AND INVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITY. IT REALLY MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. AND I THINK IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER. YOU GUYS ARE ROCK STARS, ALL OF YOU. AND I WONDERED IF YOU COULD -- IS SOMEONE TODAY GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BOLO TEXT, THE PHONE APP, HOW YOU -- >> I WASN'T GOING TO, BUT I CAN TAKE 15 SECONDS, IT'S EASY. WHAT WE FOUND WAS THAT WHEN A ROBBERY HAPPENED IN ONE OF OUR STORES, TYPICALLY WITHIN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, THERE WERE OTHER STORES IMPACTED AS WELL, SO WE'VE CREATED A TEXTING SYSTEM CALLED BOLO TEXT, BE ON THE LOOKOUT, ANYBODY CAN REGISTER FOR IT. WHEN WE ARE NOTIFIED OF A PROBLEM, WE IMMEDIATELY SEND OUT A TEXT TO EVERYBODY ELSE IN THAT DISTRICT LETTING THEM KNOW THERE WAS JUST A ROBBERY AT THE T MOBIL STORE OR WHATEVER JUST TO BE ON ALERT. WHEN WE FIND OUT SOMETHING IS GOING ON, WE LET EVERYBODY IN THE DISTRICT KNOW. EVERYBODY'S EARS ARE UP AND WE HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF CASES WHERE THERE'S BEEN A STRING OF THINGS HAPPENING WITHIN THE DISTRICT, JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AWARE AND THAT'S FAIRLY NEW, BUT ANYBODY CAN REGISTER. IT'S B-O-L-O TEXT.com THERE'S NO COST. >> THAT'S REALLY GREAT. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR PROACTIVELY -- YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME TO ME WITH ISSUES REGARDING ANTELOPE, YOU ALWAYS TRY TO BRING SOLUTIONS AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS. THE P BIDS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN ANTELOPE AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME MORE OF THOSE IN SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. >> THANK YOU. CAN I LEAVE NOW? [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU MAY. ALL RIGHT, DO WE HAVE OTHERS? >> THESE ARE NEVER AT THE RIGHT HEIGHT FOR ME. GOOD MORNING, ESTEEMED BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE FLORIN ROAD PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT. WE NORMALLY PROVIDE A SHORT, FUN VIDEO. LAST YEAR IT WAS SUPERHERO THEMED. GIVEN THE LIGHT OF THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS SITUATION, WE DIDN'T PROVIDE ONE BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO WATT AVENUE'S VIDEO. WE HAVE COME HERE TODAY JUST TO PROVIDE A HIGHLIGHT REEL OF SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN DONE OVER THE YEAR. 1997, WE WERE FOUNDED. WE ARE OVER 26 MILLION SQUARE FEET. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN -- OUR MAIN GOAL TO PROVIDE A STABLE FUNDING SOURCE FOR IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. LIKE THE OTHER P BIDS, A LOT OF OUR FUNDING IS EXPELLED INTO OUR CLEAN AND SAFE SERVICES. WE ARE PROJECTING FOR 2020 WE WILL BE SPENDING APPROXIMATELY $262,000 IN CLEAN AND SAFE SERVICES ALONE. WE PROVIDE, OF COURSE, CLEANUP SERVICES AND THE LIKE. >> CAN I INTERRUPT FOR A SEC? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT? >> OH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS. THAT'S WATT. >> THEY'RE IN THE BACK CONTROLLING THIS. I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT, SORRY. >> SORRY, GO AHEAD. >> THAT'S OKAY. I WAS WONDERING WHAT IT WAS MYSELF. HOMELESS NAVIGATOR SUCCESS REACHING OUT TO OVER 1650 PEOPLE. THAT HELPED OVER 102 INDIVIDUALS BETWEEN THE MAC ROAD DISTRICT AND THE FLORIN P BID DISTRICT. THAT'S 136 CLIENTS. AND 21 FAMILIES WERE HELPED. WE IN OUR P BID OFTEN CELEBRATE THOSE SUCCESSES AS A GROUP. WE HAVE OUR STANDING ROOM ONLY MONTHLY MEETINGS. THERE ARE SECURITY TASK FORCE MEETINGS. WE HAVE OFTEN UPWARDS OF 50 TO 60 INDIVIDUALS FROM OUR DISTRICT WHO WILL COME TO SUPPORT AND HELP WITH EVERYTHING THAT WE DO. WITH THAT SAID, WE HAD OVER 1500 CALLS FOR SECURITY FOR THE YEAR. THAT IS UP FROM LAST YEAR, BUT OUR SECURITY COMPANY, CALIFORNIA PATROL OPERATIONS, IS DOING A GREAT JOB TO STAY ON TOP OF THE SECURITY CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR AREA. OUR MAINTENANCE ACHIEVEMENTS, WE HAVE OVER 1400 BAGS OF TRASH. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH, BUT WE HAVE OVER 117,000 POUNDS TO THE LANDFILL OVER THE LAST YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO REMOVE 483 CARTS, WAYWARD LOST CARTS, BETTER THAN CHILDREN, SO WAYWARD LOST CARTS OUT OF OUR DISTRICT AND BACK INTO THE HANDS OF WHERE THEY NEED TO GO. SO ALL IN ALL, IT WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR. WE'VE CONTINUED TO KEEP GOING. I THINK THAT AS YOU HEARD PREVIOUSLY, THE CHALLENGES ARE INCREASING. THE CRIME RATES ARE INCREASING. THE CALLS, THE VOLUME, THE DUMPING. ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT WE TYPICALLY DEAL WITH ARE ALL ON THE INCREASE. AND SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN AND CONTINUE THAT GROWTH WHICH IS -- WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. OUR FOUNDATION LAST YEAR WAS ABLE TO HELP THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. WE HELPED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS IN OUR AREA FOR THEIR NATIONAL NIGHT OUT. WE HELPED SPONSOR THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HISPANIC REAL ESTATE AGENTS. WE HELPED THE WELLNESS AND RECOVERY CENTER SOUTH WHICH ALSO PROVIDES MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN OUR AREA. WE HELPED WITH JUST SPECIAL EVENTS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE STUDENTS, WITH THE VIETNAMESE CHAMBER, LITTLE SAIGON COMMUNITY, AND CONTINUED WITH THAT CONNECTION OF GROWTH WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. SO WITH THAT, I JUST WANTED TO COME AND SAY HI, IT'S NICE TO ACTUALLY SEE EVERYBODY IN PERSON. I HAVEN'T SEEN FOLKS IN A LONG TIME. AND SO JUST A QUICK HELLO AND A HIGHLIGHT REEL, SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GOOD MORNING. I CAN'T HEAR, I CAN'T SPEAK, I CAN'T THINK WITH THAT THING ON. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE INFORMATION. MY NAME IS REBECCA EVANS. I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE 80-WATT DISTRICT P BID AND WE ARE LOOKING TODAY AT OUR FIVE-YEAR FOR OUR RENEWAL, SO I'M LOOKING BIGGER PICTURE, EVEN THAN JUST FROM LAST YEAR, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A FEW THINGS SO THAT WE CAN JUST HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING. FROM THIS WHOLE YEAR, IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF EXTRA JOBS. SINCE 2015 WHEN THE P BID STARTED, WE'VE BROUGHT IN 2561 JOBS IN JUST OUR LITTLE AREA. WE ARE 45% DECREASED IN CRIME. I KNOW THAT THE 80-WATT DISTRICT, THE YOU RESEARCH IT, IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST LOCATIONS -- WELL, IN ALL OF CALIFORNIA FOR SURE. AND SO TO HAVE 45% DECREASE IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE. IT IS NOW A LOCATION WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A BUSINESS AND BE SAFE, BECAUSE WE HAVE 24-HOUR SERVICE OF SECURITY. ON TOP OF THAT, THE CLEANLINESS IS JUST ALWAYS WORKED ON AND WE'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING WITH THOSE THAT NEED HELP, BUT WE'RE CONSTANTLY SUPPORTING OUR BUSINESSES AS WELL WITH WORKSHOPS AND JUST ALL KINDS OF THINGS. WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST YEAR ALMOST 6,000 CALLS FOR SERVICE IN THE SECURITY, WHICH IS A HUGE NUMBER. AND TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WE'RE EXCITED. WE HAVE MERCY HOUSING THAT'S JUST OPENED. WE HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO TOUR SOON. BUT THANK YOU, HONORABLE PETERS. IT'S JUST SUCH AN EXCITING THING, BECAUSE IT'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN OUR LOCATION. SO THAT'S GIVING A LOT OF EXTRA THINGS. AS THE OTHER TWO P BIDS, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT. WITH COVID, WITH THE RIOTING, THE WHOLE THING, WE WERE ABLE TO NOT HAVE HARDLY ANY PROBLEMS SO FAR AT ALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE GOT ON THE PHONE WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, OUR SECURITY, AND ALL THE P BIDS JOINTLY TO SAY WHAT WAS HAPPENING, WHERE IT WAS HAPPENING, WHY IT WAS HAPPENING. WE EVEN HAD SOME OF OUR STORE OWNERS GET ON THERE AND THEY WERE THE ONES THAT KIND OF FIGURED OUT HOW TO FOLLOW THE TRENDS OF WHERE THINGS WERE HAPPENING. SO FOR THE 80-WATT DISTRICT, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A BAD PLACE AND IT WAS NOT AT ALL. SO FOR THAT, I'M EXTREMELY THANKFUL. THE HOT TEAM, THE POP TEAM, I'LL SAY IT AGAIN AS WELL, WE COULD NOT DO WHAT WE'RE DOING, OUR SECURITY TEAM, BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK -- WE HAVE REPRESENTATIVES FROM YOUR OFFICES. VANESSA MCCARTHY OLMSTEAD, SHE'S BEEN INCREDIBLE AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. AND I KNOW THAT YOU'RE LEAVING US SOON AND I'M NOT SURE WHEN THAT HAPPENS, BUT SUPERVISOR PETERS, THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU HAVE GIVEN US FENCING AND DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE THAT THAT OBVIOUSLY WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, SO I KNOW THAT ON BEHALF OF ALL THE P BIDS, YOUR SUPPORT OF THE P BIDS MEANS YOU'RE SUPPORTING THOUSANDS OF BUSINESSES, THOUSANDS OF JOBS, THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS TO BE ABLE TO BE SAFE, TO GO OUT OF THEIR HOMES AT NIGHT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I DO HAVE A VIDEO. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I WENT AND IT'S NEVER GOING TO BE UP TO CORY'S LEVEL, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME PICTURES. >> GREAT. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE LOTS OF PARTNERSHIPS, AND AGAIN THIS IS NOT -- THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS THAT COMING UP TO SACRAMENTO COUNTY HAS BEEN FOR ME PERSONALLY IS THE TEAM EFFORT. SO ON BEHALF OF MY TEAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING AND APPRECIATING OUR P BIDS. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR PETERS? >> BEFORE YOU LEAVE, I JUST WANTED TO SAY WATT 80 DISTRICT HAS A SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR ME. MY GOAL WAS TO TRY AND CLEAN UP THE ENTRANCE TO NORTH HIGHLANDS IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD SPREAD DOWN WATT AVENUE AND MAKE IT A NICER PLACE TO LIVE AND DO BUSINESS AND I THINK THIS P BID WITH ITS YOU AND OTHER EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, BUT PARTICULARLY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, HAS DONE SUCH A GOOD JOB AND, OF COURSE, VANESSA, WHO IS THE CHEERLEADER AND THE WORKHORSE THERE, BUT I THINK IT SHOWS VERY MUCH WHAT A COMMUNITY CAN DO IF THEY WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE IT BETTER. AND I'M JUST REALLY PROUD OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE. >> THANK YOU. >> CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU, THE YOUR HAR
