[R1 Receive an update from the County Executive Officer on County issues and consider action on specific legislation related to Shasta County’s legislative platform and receive Supervisors’ reports on countywide issues.]

CEO RICKERT. GOOD MORNING. CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

DAVE RICKERT, COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORTING.

FIRST, I HAVE NEWS FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.

HISTORICALLY, SHASTA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS HAS RELIED ON TRADITIONAL IN-PERSON BIDDING FOR PROJECTS.

BIDS WERE SUBMITTED TO THE CLERK OF THE BOARD UP UNTIL THE DEADLINE, AT WHICH POINT THEY ARE PUBLICLY OPENED AND READ ALOUD.

THIS MANUAL PROCESS IS TIME CONSUMING AND BURDENSOME FOR BOTH BIDDERS AND COUNTY STAFF.

TO SUPPORT THE COUNTY SHIFT TO ELECTRONIC BIDDING, THE ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS OF CALIFORNIA WAS CONSULTED AND EXPRESSED ITS FULL SUPPORT FOR EBIDDING. FOR CONTRACTORS EBIDDING STREAMLINES THE PROCESS, ENABLES THEM TO SUBMIT BIDS CONVENIENTLY IN THEIR OWN OFFICES.

SUBCONTRACTOR QUOTES ARE OFTEN ARRIVED JUST MINUTES BEFORE THE DEADLINE, LEAVING LITTLE TIME TO COMPLETE BIDS FORMS ACCURATELY.

THIS RUSH CAN LEAD TO MATHEMATICAL ERRORS, WHICH HAVE OCCASIONALLY RESULTED IN BID REJECTIONS.

EBIDDING MINIMIZES SUCH RISKS BY AUTOMATING CALCULATIONS, CONTRACTORS INPUT, AND THE SYSTEM GENERATES SUBTOTALS AND BID TOTAL AMOUNTS.

[00:05:03]

ADOPTING EBIDDING WILL EMPOWER VENDORS, ENHANCE INTERNAL EFFICIENCY, AND STRENGTHEN PUBLIC TRUST THROUGH GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS.

THE SHIFT IS MORE THAN A TECHNOLOGICAL UPGRADE.

IT REPRESENTS A CULTURAL EVOLUTION TOWARDS SMARTER GOVERNANCE AND IMPROVED SERVICE DELIVERY.

THIS CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU CEO RICKERT.

WE'LL START TO MY RIGHT WITH SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.

FOR UPDATES FOR YOU TODAY. THE FIRST IS RELATED TO A NUMBER OF KIND OF EFFORTS AROUND STRATEGIC PLANNING.

SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT WITH THE SUPERIOR CALIFORNIA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT WITH FIRST FIVE SHASTA, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE COUNTY OVERALL. AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE AN OBSERVATION AND SOMETHING FOR US TO THINK ABOUT AS WE CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD WITH, YOU KNOW, VARIOUS DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH IS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT A STRATEGIC PLAN AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE GOALS ARE FOR THAT PLAN.

IDEALLY, WE'RE FOCUSED ON GOALS THAT IMPACT THE COMMUNITY.

SO YOU KNOW SOMETHING, IF YOU WERE FOCUSED ON CHILDREN, IT WOULD BE LIKE THIRD GRADE LITERACY RATES, RIGHT? THE CHALLENGE IS THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATION DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT SPECIFIC GOAL, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T ACHIEVE IT ON THEIR OWN.

AND SO WHAT OFTEN CAN HAPPEN IS THAT NO ONE THEN TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ULTIMATE GOALS THAT REALLY MATTER, LIKE REDUCTION IN CRIME OR IMPROVED LITERACY RATES OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE.

AND SO FINDING THAT BALANCE BETWEEN, YEAH, NOT COMMITTING TO THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T DO, BUT ALSO HAVING SOMEONE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO'S SAYING, YEP, WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON REDUCING HOMELESSNESS, WE'RE GOING TO BE FOCUSED ON REDUCING CRIME.

AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS I'M TRYING TO NAVIGATE IS THAT WE WE FOCUS ON THINGS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL THAT WILL ACTUALLY IMPACT THE PUBLIC AND THAT WE TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEM. BUT WE DO SO COLLABORATIVELY SO THAT IT FALLS ON THE SHOULDERS OF MANY ORGANIZATIONS WHO ACTUALLY TOGETHER CAN ACHIEVE THAT.

SO THAT WAS ONE UPDATE. THE SECOND IS I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH DEPUTY CEO ERIN BERTAIN AND OUR AUDITOR, AND PLACER COUNTY AROUND HOW THEY DO BUDGETING AND GOALS AS PART OF OUR OVERALL COUNTY STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.

IF YOU LOOK AT THEIR BUDGET DOCUMENT, YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY HAVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES BY DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE OBJECTIVES BY DEPARTMENT. AND THEN THEY DO SOMETHING CALLED PROGRAM BASED BUDGETING, WHICH WE PILOTED IN THIS LAST BUDGET CYCLE, WHICH IS WHERE RATHER THAN JUST SEEING THE EXPENSES BROKEN DOWN BY SALARIES AND BENEFITS, SERVICES AND SUPPLIES, WHERE YOU CAN'T TELL WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING, YOU ACTUALLY SEE HOW MUCH WENT TO THIS SPECIFIC PROGRAM FOR, SAY, SUICIDE PREVENTION VERSUS SENIORS, YOU KNOW, ASSISTED LIVING VERSUS, YOU KNOW MENTAL HEALTH FOR YOUTH.

AND SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHERE IT GOES. AND THAT'S SO THAT WAS SOMETHING WE WERE WE WERE INQUIRING WITH THEM OF HOW DO THEY DO THAT AND WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE.

AND WE LEARNED SOME GOOD THINGS THERE AND ARE GETTING SOME TEMPLATES FROM THEM ON WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKED LIKE.

I ALSO HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE SHERIFF AND A LOCAL LEADER OF HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION AROUND THE NEW CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION CAMPUS. THE IDEA IS THAT WE WANT TO INTEGRATE MENTAL HEALTH AND MEDICAL CARE ON THAT CAMPUS.

AND SO FIGURING OUT WHO WOULD BE THE RIGHT PROVIDER THERE.

AND SO THAT WAS A GREAT FIRST CONVERSATION. THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST, I'LL SAY, FROM COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, IN BEING PART OF THAT AND BEING PART OF THIS INNOVATIVE MODEL THAT THEY THINK WILL REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

SO THAT WAS A GREAT FIRST CONVERSATION. AND THEN THE LAST UPDATE HERE IS I HAD MY QUARTERLY COMMUNITY MEETINGS UP IN LAKEHEAD.

AND I TRIED TO DO THAT IN SOME OF THE OUTER LYING COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T HAVE CITY COUNCILS.

AND THERE I LOVE KIND OF THE DIFFERENCE IN CONVERSATION FROM, YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT COUNTYWIDE ISSUES TO FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE, CAN WE GET AN ORGANIC WASTE BIN AT THE TRANSFER STATION IN THE LAKEWOOD AREA, OR CAN WE FIX THIS POTHOLE? AND SO A LOT OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WERE ONE OF THE BIG THINGS IN APPRECIATIVE TO SEAN EWING AND THE TEAM THERE IS, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THERE'S AN RV PARK UP THERE THAT'S CAUSED A LOT OF PROBLEM. WE THINK THAT MOST OF THE SERVICE CALLS TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE COME FROM THAT RV PARK. THE CHALLENGE IS THAT THE STATE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCEMENT OF RV PARKS.

AND SO BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SOME THINGS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CAN THE COUNTY DO, EITHER ON ITS OWN OR IN COLLABORATION WITH THE STATE, TO ACTUALLY ENSURE THAT THAT IS A SAFE, WELL-FUNCTIONING, YOU KNOW, COMPLIANT RV PARK THERE THAT ISN'T CAUSING A LOT OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND DRUG BEHAVIOR UP IN LAKEHEAD. SO THANK YOU EVERYONE.

THANK YOU SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. SUPERVISOR HARMON. GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. AFTER THE LAST BOARD MEETING, LAST TUESDAY NIGHT.

[00:10:02]

AND I JUST WANT TO BRING UP THE THE WOLF ISSUE AGAIN.

IT NEEDS TO STAY FRONT AND CENTER. WE HAVE A REPORT SINCE MARCH 7TH.

JUST ONE VALLEY, SURPRISE VALLEYS LOST 85 HEAD OF CATTLE.

AND THEN I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THAT OUR REPORT FROM SHASTA COUNTY THIS REPORT FOR THE CROPS AND LIVESTOCK. OUR CATTLE. WELL, I'LL SAY LIVESTOCK.

SO IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING FOR CATTLE. THE ECONOMIC VALUE TO THE COUNTY IS ALMOST A MATCH FOR OUR TIMBER INDUSTRY. THAT'S HOW BIG IT IS. AND THEY'RE UNDER ATTACK.

WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF OF CATTLE BEEF IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE EVERYBODY'S READ THAT.

SEEN THAT IN REPORTS. BUT ANYWAY, IT'S A BIG DEAL.

IT'S OUR IT'S OUR FOOD SUPPLY. AND WE NEED TO BE CONSCIENTIOUS OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE AND GIVE THEM SOME SUPPORT AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY THE 24TH, WE ALL, ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS ATTENDED THE PEACE OFFICER'S AWARD CEREMONY.

THAT WAS, THAT WAS GREAT VENUE AT THE WIND RIVER.

THANK YOU TO THE WIND RIVER FOR HOSTING THAT.

HEATHER HARDWICK WAS THE GUEST SPEAKER. SHE DID A GREAT JOB.

AND THEN ON FRIDAY THE 26TH, I WENT UP TO THE OAK RUN SCHOOL TO ATTEND THE BARBECUE, A LITTLE LUNCHEON UNTIL THE THEY HAD A POWER OUTAGE. SO IT GOT CANCELED.

BUT I DIDN'T GET NOTICE OF THAT, SO I SHOWED UP ANYWAY.

BUT I GOT TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE PRINCIPAL UP THERE.

GREAT GUY. HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB. HE'S GOT HIS HANDS FULL.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THERE, BUT I THINK HE'S, I ENJOYED THE TIME I SPENT WITH HIM AND GETTING TO KNOW HIM A LITTLE BIT AND THEN ON THE AND THEN I WANT TO ANNOUNCE ON THURSDAY AT 6 P.M.

AT THE, I'M HAVING A TOWN HALL MEETING IN PALO CEDRO AT THE COUNTRY STRONG GYM, SO.

AND I THINK THAT'S, WELL, THERE'S ONE, HOLD ON A SECOND, THEN THE SEARCH AND RESCUE IS HAVING A TRI TIP SANDWICH DRIVE THROUGH FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10TH. AND THAT'S ASPHALT COWBOYS CLUBHOUSE.

YOU CAN PURCHASE TICKETS. I THINK YOU CAN GET THEM ONLINE.

I'M TRYING TO SEE THAT, BUT. AND THEN I WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON CODY WOODY CLINTON'S GRANDSON.

HE'S SCHEDULED TO COME HOME THIS WEEK, SO HE'S DOING GREAT.

AND WHAT A BLESSING THAT IS FOR THAT FAMILY. WITH THAT.

THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU SUPERVISOR HARMON. SUPERVISOR KELSTROM. YES.

SUPERVISOR HARMON SAID AFTER A MEETING LAST WEEK, WE BOTH ATTENDED THE CATTLEMEN'S MEETING AT VITTLES RESTAURANT IN ANDERSON.

AND THEN THE NEXT DAY WE WERE I THINK ALL OF US WERE AT THE PEACE OFFICER'S AWARDS AT WIND RIVER.

GREAT EVENT EVERY YEAR PUT ON BY OUR FRIEND DAVE SHOFFNER.

AND THEN AT THAT NIGHT, I WENT UP TO SHINGLETOWN AND I CALLED OUT BINGO AGAIN.

AND SHERIFF JOHNSON AND ANDERSON POLICE CHIEF OLIVER COLLINS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

NEITHER ONE OF THEM SHOWED UP, SO SHOUT OUT TO BOTH OF THEM.

ALTHOUGH IT MAY HAVE BEEN MY FAULT, BECAUSE I THINK I MIGHT HAVE TOLD CHIEF COLLINS THAT IT WAS ON THURSDAY OR ON THURSDAY AND NOT WEDNESDAY, BUT ANYHOW. AND THEN THURSDAY I DID DO THE RADIO SHOW WITH CARL BOTT AND PERRY CREMEANS AT KNCR.

THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD TIME. ON SATURDAY I WENT TO THE MARTIN LUTHER KING CENTER, WHERE WE DID THE UNVEILING OF THE ISAAC LOWE STATUE.

GREAT EVENT. FORMER SUPERVISOR PATRICK JONES, AS WELL AS FORMER SUPERVISOR LES BAUGH WERE BOTH IN ATTENDANCE.

AND RIGHT AFTER THE MLK CENTER, I WENT RIGHT TO THE HONEYBEE FESTIVAL IN PALO CEDRO.

AND FROM THERE I ATTENDED THE BULL RIDING EVENT AT SILVER BRIDGE.

AND THEN SEE, I MET WITH CHIEF SEAN O'HARA. I GOT A PHONE CALL ON FRIDAY.

THERE WAS AN ISSUE DOWN IN COTTONWOOD. SOMEBODY TRYING TO BUILD A HOUSE, AND THEY WERE HAVING SOME ISSUES.

SO I ENDED UP MEETING WITH SEAN O'HAIRE DOWN THERE ON YESTERDAY.

AND SHOUT OUT TO CHIEF O'HAIRE. HE SOLVED THE PROBLEM, AND THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD NOW AND BUILD THEIR HOUSE.

SO GREAT JOB THERE. AND I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT SOME THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP.

THIS WEEKEND IS A PRETTY BUSY WEEKEND. SO WE HAVE THE STILLWATER POWWOW FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY DOWN AT THE POSSE GROUNDS THERE OR DOWN THE RODEO GROUNDS.

AND THEN I WILL BE ATTENDING THE INVITING CULTURES EVENT AT MEADOW LANE SCHOOL, PUT ON BY THE SIKH CENTER.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE APPLE FESTIVAL, THE SHINGLETOWN FALL FESTIVAL, AND THEN ON SUNDAY,

[00:15:04]

SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT DOWN IN COTTONWOOD. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

THANK YOU SUPERVISOR KELSTROM. SUPERVISOR LONG. THANK YOU CHAIR.

WELCOME, EVERYONE. IT'S GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE HERE.

SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A CONSTITUENT OUT IN THE AREA, AND HE SENT ME A LOT OF PICTURES ABOUT.

AND I SAY ALL THIS SO THAT TO MAYBE GET THE AWARENESS UP ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE.

BUT SO HE SENT ME A LOT OF PICTURES OF THE PG AND E POWER POLES THAT HAD WEEDS GROWING UP ALL AROUND THEM, AND APPARENTLY UNDER THE ZOGG SETTLEMENT THAT WAS, THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO MAINTAIN A LOT OF THE LANDS WITH THE POWER POLES.

AND SO I HAVE GOTTEN HIM IN TOUCH WITH, WELL, PGE IN THE WORKS OF THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S BEEN FORWARDED TO HIM THROUGH DAVID WONG.

AND ALSO TROY REACHED OUT AND STARTED CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR AREAS OUT THERE THAT ARE COUNTY JURISDICTION AND WEED TRIMMING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO I SAY ALL THAT BECAUSE I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT FIRE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

IT'S IT'S SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES OUR ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT, ACTIVE RESPONSES.

SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYBODY, IF YOU DO COME ACROSS ACROSS CONDITIONS LIKE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, THAT WHATEVER DISTRICT YOU'RE IN, THAT YOU BRING THOSE TO ATTENTION.

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, PGE APPARENTLY DOES HAVE TO MAINTAIN AS PART OF THE ZOGG SETTLEMENT.

THEIR AREAS AND POWER POLES AND SUCH LIKE THAT, SO.

I MET WITH SHERIFF RANDALL, UNDER SHERIFF RANDALL, AND HE IS HE ASKED ME IF I WAS INTERESTED IN GETTING INVOLVED IN THIS, AND IT'S SOMETHING CALLED AN OFFENDER RELEASE LIAISON PROGRAM, AND ORL.

AND I SAID, WELL, LET'S TALK. SO HE INVITED ME TO THE FIRST WORKSHOP WITH THIS PROGRAM.

AND BASICALLY THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE RECIDIVISM AMONG PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING RELEASED FROM THE COUNTY JAIL AND BE BETTER REINTEGRATE THOSE FOLKS INTO OUR COMMUNITY. AND HE HAD SEEN THROUGH PERSONAL OBSERVATION WHEN PEOPLE CAME OUT OF THE JAIL WHEN THEY WERE BEING RELEASED, IF THEY TURNED LEFT THEY WERE HEADING TOWARD PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN NARCOTICS AND ALCOHOL PURCHASES.

AND THEY WERE RIGHT BACK IN THE JAIL. PEOPLE THAT TURNED RIGHT, AND IT WAS IT WAS PRETTY COMICAL THE WAY HE DESCRIBED IT TO ME.

SO WE HAD A KICK OFF MEETING AND IT WAS A GREAT FIRST MEETING.

AND I'M 100% BEHIND THIS, THIS PROGRAM THAT HE IS CREATING.

AS FAR AS WE KNOW, IT'S A PILOT PROGRAM IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

NO OTHER HAS DONE THIS. AND BASICALLY WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE IS THEY'RE GOING TO DESIGNATE A LIAISON IN THE JAIL AND THEY'RE GOING TO MITIGATE YOU KNOW, WEIRD RELEASE HOURS SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T GETTING OUT AT 2 A.M.

WITH NOWHERE TO GO EXCEPT GET INTO TROUBLE AGAIN AND COME RIGHT BACK.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO WORK ON RELEASE TIMES. THEY'RE GOING TO WORK WITH ALL THE SERVICES, HILL COUNTRY AND OTHERS, AND THEY'RE GOING TO PLUG THEM DIRECTLY INTO SERVICES THAT WILL HELP GET THEM SOME HELP THEY NEED AFTER LEAVING INCARCERATION.

SO I THINK IT'S A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. HSSA WAS THERE, PROBATION OFFICIALS, JAIL STAFF.

I WAS THERE AS THE SUPERVISOR, AND THE SHERIFF IS GOING TO LEAD THE PROGRAM AND CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE PROGRAM GOING FORWARD.

HE'S COMMITTED TO NOT HANDING THIS OFF. IT'S GOING TO BE HIS BABY.

SO I THINK IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM. AND THEY'VE ALREADY DESIGNATED THEIR FIRST RELEASE LIAISON OFFICER TO HELP COORDINATE ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY. AND HILL COUNTRY IS ON BOARD AND A BUNCH OF OTHER DIFFERENT HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDERS TO PLUG THEM IN.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE'VE GOT A WORKSHOP COMING UP IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE NEXT STEPS AND, AND JUST TRY TO WORK OUT HOW THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

I INVITED SUPERVISOR PLUMMER, WHO GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO JOIN ME AT THIS WORKSHOP AND JOIN IN.

SO I'M ENCOURAGED BY THIS PROGRAM. I THINK IT'LL BE GREAT.

I MET WITH OR HAD A PHONE CALL WITH TERRY GABRIEL, WHO IS THE PSA II AGING AGENCY ON COUNCIL OR AGING IN OUR IN OUR COUNTY. AND IT'S A COLLABORATIVE WITH ABOUT I THINK IT WAS FIVE OTHER DIFFERENT, FIVE OTHER COUNTIES, MAYBE SEVEN. AND SO THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE SHASTA COUNTY ADVISORY COUNCIL ON AGING THAT

[00:20:04]

BUT IT WAS A VERY PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION. SHE'S GIVEN ME A LOT OF RESOURCES TO TRY TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT TOPIC IN OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE NEED TO HELP AGING FOLKS MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM AND TRY TO HELP FACILITATE THAT.

SO I KNOW THAT THIS IS A HOT TOPIC. OUR LOCAL COMMISSION ON AGING ADVISORY COMMISSION HAS COME TO THIS BOARD AND REQUESTED A BUDGET FOR THE FIRST TIME.

SO I KNOW THESE WILL BE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS. AND SO I APPRECIATED MY PHONE CALL WITH MISS GABRIEL, AND THAT'S IT. THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR LONG.

LAST WEEK I ATTENDED PEER COURT, WHICH WAS HELD OUT IN SHASTA LAKE CITY.

AGAIN, IF YOU HAVEN'T ATTENDED ANY OF THOSE, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO. I THINK IT'S GREAT WHERE KIDS ARE BEING ADVISED BY A JURY OF THEIR PEERS. AND AND I BELIEVE A LOT OF LIVES ARE SET ON A VERY POSITIVE PATH BECAUSE OF THAT PROGRAM.

ALSO HAD THE YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION COUNCIL BOARD MEETING LAST WEEK. AGAIN THAT'S THE SAME ORGANIZATION THAT YOUTH OPTIONS THAT OVERSEES PEER COURT.

AND I'M REALLY THANKFUL TO ALL THE JUDGES THAT DONATE THEIR TIME AS WELL TO COME IN.

HELD THE COMMUNITY DISCUSSION LAST WEEK ABOUT THE STATE OF MEDICAL CARE. HAD SUPERVISOR PLUMMER CAME AND DOCTOR DHANUKA SPOKE.

DOCTOR MU. WE HAD A GENTLEMAN. THE GUY, HE'S FROM ROSEVILLE, CORRECT? THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL GUY THAT YOU SIT ON THAT ONE BOARD, IS HE FROM ROSEVILLE? YEAH. DOWN IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA. YEAH. SO HE ATTENDED AS WELL AS WE HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT OWNS A CLINIC IN CHICO.

SO WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF COLLABORATION. I KNOW DOCTOR DHANUKA AND THAT GROUP ARE MEETING AGAIN THIS WEEK.

SO NEXT WEEK I'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF IMPROVING MEDICAL SERVICES IN SHASTA COUNTY.

ATTENDED THE PEACE OFFICER. A YEAR OF AWARDS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

IT WAS PRETTY SPECIAL FOR ME. THE CHP HONOREE WAS MY BROTHER IN LAW JESSE ROGERS.

HE ACTUALLY GOT THE MEDAL OF VALOR FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST HONOR YOU CAN GET.

AND HE WAS AWARDED THAT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. SO IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE HIM THAT.

I JOINED ABOUT 15 OR 20 OTHER SUPERVISORS ACROSS THE STATE SIGNING A LETTER AND ENCOURAGING U.S.

SENATORS TO PASS A CLEAN, SHORT TERM FUNDING BILL TO EXTEND, TO PREVENT THE SHUTDOWN, WHICH WILL DEFINITELY DEEPLY HURT, I BELIEVE A LOT OF HARDWORKING AMERICANS.

SO WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT LETTER GOES. THE LAST THING I WANT TO TOUCH ON IS C2 ON YOUR AGENDA TODAY.

IT'S A RESOLUTION I PUT FORWARD ABOUT PUSHING BACK AS A BOARD ON PROP 50.

A LOT OF PEOPLE YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE SIGNS AROUND TOWN OR OTHER PLACES.

IT TALKS ABOUT FAIR ELECTIONS. WHAT I REALLY DEEM IT AS IS IF PROP 50 PASSES, IT'S THE DEATH OF RURAL COUNTIES.

SO IF, SO I'M VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

FRESNO COUNTY PASSED IT LAST WEEK, AND I THINK THERE'S A FEW OTHER COUNTIES LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD THIS WEEK.

IT'S A VERY, NON, VERY NONPARTIZAN THING FOR ME.

BUT AGAIN IT MAKE MAKE NO MISTAKE, IF PROP 50 PASSES, IT IS THE DEATH OF RURAL COUNTIES.

WITH THAT, WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT.

[PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD - OPEN TIME]

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE.

GOOD MORNING. OUR REGISTRAR OF VOTERS RECENTLY CHANGED BALLOT COUNTING METHODS.

HE HAS A RIGHT TO DO THIS, BUT ALL CHANGES THAT HE MAKES HAS TO FOLLOW CALIFORNIA ELECTION LAWS.

MR. CURTIS CLAIMED TO HAVE CONTACTED STATE OFFICIALS WHO APPROVED HIS NEW METHODS, YET SEVERAL LOCAL REPORTERS HAVE CONTACTED THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE AND WERE TOLD THAT THAT OFFICE HAS NOT SEEN OR APPROVED ANY OF THESE CHANGES.

THIS IS A PARTICULARLY SERIOUS ISSUE NOW. MAYBE THE REPORTERS WERE MISTAKEN.

MAYBE THE REGISTRAR DIDN'T KNOW HIS STUFF. MAYBE HE LIED.

MAKING IT WORSE, CURTIS ALSO CALLED FOR THE INDICTMENT OF TOM TOLLER AND JOHANNA FRANCESCA.

NO EVIDENCE, JUST MORE RECKLESS TALK. THE BEST WAY FORWARD WOULD BE FOR CURTIS TO APPEAR BEFORE THIS

[00:25:07]

IF THE BOARD DOESN'T REQUIRE THIS ACTION, THIS BOARD BECOMES RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY POTENTIAL MISHAPS IN THE UPCOMING ELECTION.

NEXT UP, LESLIE, FOLLOWED BY GREG HECTOR, CHRISTIAN GARDNER, THEN DON DUCAT.

GOOD MORNING. LAST NIGHT, I GOT TO GO HEAR LEWIS HERMS SPEAK.

HE IS A HOPEFUL CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR, RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT.

AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY INSPIRATIONAL. SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE THAT, I DID PUT IT ON MOUNTAIN TOP.

ALSO FOR C9 TODAY IF I WERE YOU. AND THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, AFTER READING THE STAFF REPORT, I WOULD URGE YOU TO PULL IT AND ASK THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS WHERE THEY SIT ON THIS.

ALSO ASK MAYBE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A LOT IN THE REPORT WHAT HER PLAN IS TO MAKE SURE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A BACKLOG, BECAUSE THIS BODY, ALONG WITH THE PUBLIC, HAS ASKED FOR A LIST OF HOW SHE'S PRIORITIZING CASES AND THINGS CONTINUE TO GET BACKLOGGED AND FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.

I KNOW THAT LAST SPRING SUMMER, THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO GOT A DUI.

SHE HAS HER COURT CASE GOING, AND SINCE THAT HAS GOTTEN TWO MORE BEFORE THAT HAD TWO OTHERS.

THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE, AND WE NEED SOMEBODY HOLDING HER ACCOUNTABLE SO SHE COULD GET THE HELP SHE NEEDS BEFORE SHE KILLS SOMEBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ALSO, SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP YOUTH OPTIONS, THERE'S THAT FRAUDULENT SITUATION WHERE SHE ADMITTED TO FRAUD AND IT'S JUST SITTING ON THE DA'S DESK WITH NOTHING HAPPENING.

SHE STOLE FROM OUR CHILDREN. SHE STOLE FROM AN ORGANIZATION THAT ACTUALLY DOES A LOT OF GOOD.

MR. RICKERT THROUGH YOUTH OPTIONS SHASTA DOES SO MUCH GOOD FOR TROUBLED YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND THAT ENTIRE ORGANIZATION IS STAINED BY THIS FRAUD THAT IS NOT BEING DEALT WITH.

I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT IT TO MAKE SURE SHE DOESN'T HAVE AN EXCUSE TO CONTINUE BACKLOGS.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, SHE'S NO LONGER ON OUR BOARD OR NO LONGER RUNNING THE ORGANIZATION.

JUST. YEAH. OKAY. NEXT UP, GREG HECTOR, FOLLOWED BY CHRISTIAN GARNIER, THEN LARRY S, FOLLOWED BY DOLORES LUCERO.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. GOOD MORNING.

BOARD. MY NAME IS GREG HECTOR, OWNER OF HOOK AND MICKEY'S GUIDE SERVICE.

BEEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION FOR PROBABLY TEN YEARS.

I REMEMBER MEETING WITH MODI AND LEE, THE FORMER CEO.

AND WE TALKED ABOUT MATT, AND THEY GO, WELL, WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT? WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR THIS? WELL, WE GOT $34 MILLION.

MATT PLUMMER, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR CALLING ME BACK.

I SPOKE WITH YOU. I SEE YOU GUYS AND YOU CAN'T GET MUCH DONE IN TWO MINUTES.

I USED TO COME FOR THREE. I DON'T COME MUCH ANYMORE.

BUT ANYWAY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FUTURE STUFF.

SOMETHING OFF OTHER THING GETTING BUILT AND THIS AND THAT.

WE GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE RIGHT OVER HERE THAT ARE DRUG ADDICTS, AND THEY GO IN THERE EVERY DAY, AND WE GOT A MEDICAL STAFF THAT WE CONTINUE TO NOT PRESS TO DO REHABILITATIVE WHILE THEY'RE IN THE JAIL.

WE GOT THEM ALL RIGHT THERE. AND WE GOT THE MONEY.

AND I JUST REALLY IT'S TIRING AND TO TO SEE IT GET KICKED DOWN THE STREET, YOU KNOW? AND I REALLY WISH YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE THIS. WE DON'T HAVE A FUTURE THING. WE HAVE THIS AS JUST LACKING A MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

AND WE CONTINUE TO NOT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE, YOU KNOW, THAT WE COULD DO.

AND I DON'T GET IT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'VE LEFT MESSAGE WITH YOU, MR. CRYE, A FEW TIMES TEXT AND, YOU KNOW, WISH YOU CALL ME BACK OR ALL ANY OF YOU GUYS.

AND LET'S GET BUSY TODAY AND NOT A YEAR OR TWO DOWN THE ROAD.

HAVE A GOOD DAY. THANK YOU. NEXT UP, CHRISTIAN GARNIER, FOLLOWED BY LARRY S, DOLORES LUCERO, THEN STEVE KAHN. IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. I'M SPEAKING ON PROPOSITION 50, WHICH YOUR RESOLUTION WHICH WILL PASS. THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

I WANT THE CITIZENS OF SHASTA COUNTY TO KNOW THAT IF THEY VOTE FOR THE RESOLUTION, I MEAN, IF THEY VOTE FOR PROP 50, THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING TO A BUCKET OF VOTERS IN CALIFORNIA WHO ARE OPPOSED TO MR. TRUMP, HIS AUTHORITARIAN. WELL, I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT, HE'S AN ADJUDICATED RAPIST, 34 COUNT FELON.

[00:30:03]

THERE'S NO IF, ANDS OR BUTS. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS A PROPOSAL RIGHT NOW IN CONGRESS TO MANDATE THAT ALL STATES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE AN ELECTIONS COMMISSION.

AND IN FACT, THAT WAS PASSED BACK IN 2000, I BELIEVE, OH TWO.

AND IT WAS IT FAILED IN THE SENATE UNDER H.R.

I, WHERE TODAY WE WOULD ALL BE MANDATED TO OPERATE WITH AN ELECTION COMMISSION LIKE NONPARTISAN ELECTION COMMISSION LIKE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS. THIS IS A TEMPORARY MEASURE.

IT WILL GO OUT OF EFFECT. BUT THIS IS A REBALANCING ACT DUE TO TRUMP'S BLATANT PROGRAM OF HIJACKING THE ELECTIONS. THROUGH GERRYMANDERING. AND SO, CALIFORNIA YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THIS DICTATOR, THIS WANNABE FASCIST WHO IS, YOU KNOW, JUST ABOUT BRINGING OUR COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND.

THANK YOU VERY. LARRY S, FOLLOWED BY DOLORES LUCERO, STEVE KHAN, JENNY, THEN DAVID STARK.

GOOD MORNING. BOARD. SINCE THIS FALLS UNDER YOUR JURISDICTION, I JUST HAVE A LETTER TO PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER SENDING.

AND IT'S A THANK YOU LETTER. DEAR MR. TRUMP, WE WANT TO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR WHAT? WELL, YOU SEE, MR. TRUMP, AS A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF SHASTA COUNTY WHO CONSIDER OURSELVES TO BE CHRISTIAN MEN, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEEK REVENGE. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE UNKIND.

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE BAD PEOPLE. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE DISLOYAL AS CHRISTIANS.

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE BOORISH AND LOUD. WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW A LACK OF SELF CONTROL.

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE PROUD AND HAUGHTY. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE UNLOVING.

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE VILE IN OUR SPEECH. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LIE.

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HANG OUT WITH PEDOPHILES.

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO COMMIT ADULTERY. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STEAL, TO BE PUFFED UP WITH EGO.

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GROPE SEXUALLY AND COMMIT SEXUAL ASSAULT.

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GOVERN CORRUPTLY. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO POST FALSE AI VIDEOS.

WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HATE. SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP, FOR BEING OUR MESSIANIC AVATAR.

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO BE THE KIND OF PERSON AND DO THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO.

SO WE SUPPORT YOU. THANK YOU. DOLORES LUCERO, FOLLOWED BY STEVE KAHN, JENNY, DAVID STARK, THEN SUSAN WEISS. IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN CUE.

YOU ALL RECEIVED MY EMAIL REGARDING WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING HERE IN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR YEARS.

YOU ALLOWED FOR MISS LORI FREEBRIDGE ACTUALLY TO HARASS AND THREATEN PEOPLE BY PUTTING A TABLE IN THE HALLWAY TO BE ABLE TO PUT PHOTOS OF PEOPLE TO DISCRIMINATE THEM AND ATTACK THEM.

AND SHE VICTIMIZED THEM. AND THEN SHE EXPECTS THEM TO SUPPORT HER AND TO DEFEND HER.

THAT IS WRONG. YOU, AS A BOARD OF SUPERVISOR, HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE SURE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR DOESN'T HAPPEN.

YOU ALLOWED IT. YOU ENGAGE FOR YEARS BECAUSE YOU ALL RECEIVED EMAILS FROM HER REGARDING WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

SO THEREFORE YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE. SO LET ME MAKE SOMETHING CLEAR TO YOU, MR. KEVIN CRYE, YOU, NEXT TIME YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO ME WHEN NO CAMERAS ARE READY, I HOPE YOU REPEAT IT, BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH SAYING SOMETHING TO ME WITHOUT ME REBUTTAL.

AND MR. CEO, I HOPE THAT YOU DO NOT CONTACT ME OR EVEN ASK ME ANYTHING WHEN I'M SITTING IN WAITING FOR MY PUBLIC RECORDS UPSTAIRS, BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU. AND I APPRECIATE IT.

[00:35:02]

AND ALSO MR. MIKE MANGAS, FOR YEARS HE'S BEEN REPEATING THE SAME LIE AND OVER AND OVER THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPEATED.

AND I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE REPEATING THE SAME LIE AND SLANDERING ME IN DEFAMATION.

SO THAT'S WHY I SUED MIKE MANGAS FOR $10 MILLION.

LAWSUITS ARE STILL GOING IN FEDERAL REGARDLESS, BECAUSE YOU LIE ABOUT ME AND YOU NEVER RETRACT IT, AND YOU CONTINUE TO REPEAT THAT AND HAVE THAT ON YOUR WEBSITE.

SO THEREFORE YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS, JUST LIKE ALL OF YOU.

I WARN YOU THAT YOU CONTINUE TO SLANDER ME. I'M GOING TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST YOU.

THANK YOU. STEVE KHAN, FOLLOWED BY JENNIE, DAVID STARK, SUSAN WEISS, THEN LORI BRIDGFORD.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. GOOD MORNING.

BOARD STAFF AND THE FEW CITIZENS THAT ARE HERE.

SUPERVISOR LONG. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK TO ON THE SUPPORT FOR THE INMATES BEING RELEASED, BUT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME TO MY ATTENTION YEARS AGO.

AND THEY WERE BASICALLY RELEASING HIM AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING SO THEY COULD GET CREDIT FOR THE NEXT DAY OF HAVING THEM INCARCERATED.

AND I KIND OF SAW THAT AS BEING A COUNTERPRODUCTIVE SITUATION, BECAUSE WHO'S UP? MY DRUG DEALER, YOU KNOW, HEY, WHERE AM I GOING TO, YOU KNOW, GET A RIDE.

SO I HAD CONTACTED THE SHERIFF AND DIFFERENT ENTITIES CHIEF NEIL AT PROBATION, AND NOBODY COULD REALLY COME UP WITH ANYTHING TO HELP, EXCEPT FOR I DID CONTACT THE DRC, THE DAY REPORTING CENTER, AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE ONLY SITUATION THAT MAKES CONTACT WITH INMATES PRIOR TO THEIR RELEASE. AND THEY DO TRY TO PUT THEM ON A PATH AND HAVE THEM THE ABILITY TO GET HOUSING, THE ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, HEAD IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION. BUT THE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IS EXCELLENT.

I'M REALLY GLAD TO HEAR THAT HAPPENING. SO GOOD TO SEE YOU WORKING ON THAT.

I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE STATEMENTS THAT CURTIS HAS MADE THE APPOINTED REGISTRAR OF VOTERS.

FOR ONE THING, HE DID AT ONE TIME TELL CANDIDATES THAT THEY COULD ACCEPT DONATIONS WHEN THEIR PAPERWORK HADN'T BEEN COMPLETED.

THEY SAID IT WAS OKAY AND IT'S ILLEGAL. SO CLEARLY HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS SAYING IN THAT CASE.

AND NOW HE'S STATING THAT HE HAS THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S APPROVAL WITH THE CHANGES HE WANTS TO MAKE.

ONE OF THE CHANGES IS HE'S GOING TO HANDPICK INDIVIDUALS AND HIRE THEM AS TEMPORARY EMPLOYEES TO PICK UP THE BALLOTS FROM THE BALLOT BOXES.

AND THE VOLUNTEERS THAT HE HAS ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT WERE COMPLAINING MOST ABOUT THE ELECTION.

SO TO HAVE THEM IN CUSTODY OF THOSE BALLOTS, I THINK, IS ONE SCARY THING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN.

THE EMPLOYEES ARE STILL IN DANGER AND THE UNION KNOWS THAT.

AND THAT SHOULD BE. JENNY, FOLLOWED BY DAVID STARK, SUSAN WEISS, LORI BRIDGFORD, THEN BRAD G.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN CUE. THE COUNTY HAS BECOME A VERY CONFUSING PLACE.

AT HOME, I HAVE A LETTER SIGNED BY MONICA FUGITT STATING THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT NEED TO MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MY DISABILITY BECAUSE THE COUNTY PLANS TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE CALL IN MEETINGS, CREATING A SEPARATE BUT EQUAL MEETING FOR THOSE WITH DISABILITIES WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING.

BUT NOW, WITHIN C3, YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE CALLING MEETINGS.

THE COUNTY DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IT WANTS AND PERHAPS SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT AND CLEAR.

I DO WISH THE COUNTY WOULD MAKE UP THEIR MIND HOW THEY WISH TO ACCOMMODATE DISABLED INDIVIDUALS, BECAUSE IT'S EITHER THEY WISH TO SPEND TIME AND MONEY ACCOMMODATING INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE MEETING, OR THEY WISH TO SPEND TIME WITH TELECONFERENCING.

BUT THE ANSWER CANNOT BE NOTHING. YOU CANNOT NOT ACCOMMODATE BECAUSE THAT'S ILLEGAL.

DAVID STARK, FOLLOWED BY SUSAN WEISS, LORI BRIDGFORD, BRAD G., THEN LAURA HOBBS.

WELCOME. FIRST OF ALL, OKAY. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR ALL YOU DO.

I HATE TO SOUND PATRIARCHAL HERE, BUT I'M PROUD OF ALL OF YOU GUYS. I THINK ALL IN ALL, YOU'RE DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB. AND I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE C2 ABOUT THE PROPOSITION 50.

MY CONCERNS ABOUT IT ARE KIND OF LIKE WHEN I HEAR THE WORD TEMPORARY, I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT WHEN WE HAVE TEMPORARY TAX HIKES, THEY SEEM TO BECOME PERMANENT. THE PROPOSITION 50 IS PROBABLY THE MOST PARTIZAN ISSUE I'VE SEEN COME UP IN A LONG TIME. AND IT APPEARS TO ME, AND THIS IS MY OPINION, AND I'D LIKE YOU TO AT LEAST THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDER IT.

IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ATTEMPT TO DISENFRANCHIZE CONSERVATIVE VOTERS BY EXTENDING OUR DISTRICT INTO AN AREA THAT'S NOT GENERALLY VOTING CONSERVATIVE. AND IT'S HIGHLY PARTIZAN.

AND IF IT BECOMES PERMANENT THEN IT DOES SILENCE THE VOICES HERE.

AND I WOULD REMIND ALL YOU GENTLEMEN THAT YOU WEREN'T ELECTED TO REPRESENT REPUBLICANS, AND YOU WEREN'T ELECTED TO REPRESENT DEMOCRATS.

[00:40:04]

AND I DO BELIEVE THAT PROPOSITION 50 WILL SILENCE OUR VOTE AND BASICALLY DISENFRANCHIZE US FROM FUTURE ELECTIONS.

I THINK YOU GENTLEMEN DO AN EXCELLENT JOB, AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL RISE ABOVE ANY PARTIZAN FEELINGS AND REALLY CONSIDER THE PROPOSITION 50 IS BEING DONE SIMPLY KIND OF AS A REACTION, AND IT PROBABLY WILL END UP BEING A PERMANENT THING.

SO I'D LIKE YOU TO REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. AND IF YOU CAN, IN UNITY, SUPPORT THE SUPERVISORS IN OPPOSING PROPOSITION 50.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU. SUSAN WEISS, FOLLOWED BY LORI BRIDGFORD, BRAD GEE, LAURA HOBBS, THE NICK GARDNER. IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. YES, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR TWO YEARS, AND EVERY TIME I HEAR THE PREACHER OR MINISTER UP HERE SAYING, PLEASE GIVE US WISDOM, PLEASE GIVE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WISDOM.

AND THEN I SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE ROV OFFICE, AND I GUESS I'M HERE TO SLAP HANDS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY. BUT TO HAVE CLINT CURTIS IN THAT POSITION IS SO DISTURBING.

I'M SURE THE WHOLE PUBLIC HAS READ ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING SINCE HE TOOK OVER.

FIRST OF ALL, HE FIRED JOANNA FRANCESCO, WHO WAS THE ONLY, WHO WAS THE HISTORY OF THAT AREA, THAT DEPARTMENT. SHE COULD HAVE HELPED HIM A LOT, FIRED HER THE FIRST DAY, AND NOW HE'S HIRED ELECTION DENIERS LAURA HOBBS, PATTY PLUM, RICH GALLARDO. HE'S HIRED ELECTION DENIERS TO HANDLE OUR VOTE.

I MEAN, I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT. HE NOT ONLY LIED ABOUT WHAT HE'S DOING WITH THE STATE, HE'S CALLING FOR INDICTMENTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PERFECTLY HONORABLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT'S HAPPENING. IT'S JUST SHOCKING.

AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HOW THE VOTING IS HAPPENING, WHETHER THEY'RE DOWNSTAIRS OR UPSTAIRS OR IN THE LADIES CHAMBER.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL THAT, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN MY LONG, LONG YEARS, I DON'T BELIEVE MY ELECTION IS GOING TO BE FAIR.

AND NOW I'M THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING TO YOU SAYING DO SOMETHING ABOUT OUR ELECTIONS.

THIS IS DISGUSTING. I'M SO ANGRY ABOUT THIS. TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD LET THIS HAPPEN AND CAUSE MORE DIVISION AND MORE GRIEF AND MORE ANGER IN OUR COUNTY. SO UNWISE. YOU NEED TO START LISTENING TO YOUR PREACHERS.

LORI BRIDGFORD, FOLLOWED BY BRAD G. LAURA HOBBS, NICK GARDNER, THEN DAN, IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. GOOD MORNING, LORI BRIDGFORD, NOT LORI FREEBRIDGE, WHICH I'M REFERRED TO BY THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL.

SHE'S KNOWN MY NAME FOR YEARS. UNBELIEVABLE. I'M IN DISTRICT FOUR, AND I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT SHASTA COUNTY IS LOOKING FOR VOLUNTARY WORKERS PAID SEASONAL EXTRA HELP. IT'S A ONE PAGER, A THREE PAGE DOCUMENT.

YOU CAN GO UPSTAIRS TO THE THIRD FLOOR AND PICK UP THAT DOCUMENT.

IT LOOKS LIKE CLINT CURTIS MIGHT NEED ABOUT 400 POLL WORKERS.

IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT SOME OR MOST OF SOME OF THESE STAFFERS WILL BE UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR BECAUSE OF THEIR FEARS OR ANXIETIES OR WHATEVER, SO I'M HOPING WE CAN GET THROUGH THAT. I DID YEAH.

THERE'S ONE PAGE FORM. I WAS AT THE EVENT LAST NIGHT WITH HERMES.

LOUIS HERMES. HE'S GOT STICKY NOTES, AND IT TALKS ABOUT HIS WHOLE THING WITH WHAT HE'S WANTING TO GO AGAINST AND SUPPORT AND WHATNOT.

AND TRAFFICKING IS ONE OF THEM. HE DID A FILM CALLED CAGES, AND YOU CAN GET IT ON THIS WEBSITE CALLED SCREW BIGGOVERNMENT.COM.

TWO HOURS AND 15 MINUTES. I HAVE YET TO WATCH THAT.

AND I'D LIKE TO WRAP IT UP HERE WITH LAST WEEK, SOME DOCUMENTS WERE GIVEN TO ME FROM DOLORES.

AND IT'S MORE INTIMIDATION. DEFINITELY LOTS OF DECEIT.

HOSTILITY. SHE'S USING FORMS THAT I HAD FROM THREE YEARS AGO ON A COURT CASE THAT I WAS TRYING TO GO WITH.

SO THIS IS A REGURGITATION. I'M VERY CONCERNED, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE'S NO OFFICIAL FILING.

I WENT TO THE COURTHOUSE YESTERDAY. THERE'S NO SEAL ON THIS RESTRAINING ORDER FROM ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL AND HIS WIFE.

THERE'S NO CASE NUMBER. THERE'S NO ANYTHING. IT'S NOT FILED.

SO SHE DID THIS TO A RADIO HOST. AND TO THE CREDIT OF THAT RADIO.

EXCUSE ME, TV STATION. THAT CASE WAS TOSSED OUT.

IT'S OVER. IT'S DONE. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE COMING BACK.

SO DO NOT GO BY EVERYTHING YOU HEAR BY UPSET INDIVIDUALS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BRAD G, FOLLOWED BY LAURA HOBBS.

NICK. GARDNER. DAN. THEN. ANTONIA. REGARDING THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE, KEVIN, I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU CONTACT THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY CHANGES THAT HE'S MADE MEET HER APPROVAL.

[00:45:04]

YOU SEARCHED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY, AND OUT OF 340 MILLION AMERICANS, THIS WAS THE GUY YOU SAID IS THE BEST GUY TO RUN OUR ELECTIONS.

SO IT'S ALL ON YOU. GET RID OF THE ELECTION COMMISSION.

125,000 WASTED SO FAR FOR NOTHING. KEVIN, YOU'RE NOT A NUMBERS GUY.

WE NEED A NUMBERS GUY TO RUN AGAINST YOU IN DISTRICT ONE, GIVING CLINT 136,000.

HE ALREADY HAS IS A WASTE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS.

DO THE MATH IF HE CAN. BY THE WAY, YOUR PHONE HAS A CALCULATOR APP ON IT.

BE A MAN. KEVIN. APOLOGIZE TO JOANNA FRANCIS SCOTT FOR ACCUSING HER OF MUFFING THE CHARTER PAPERWORK.

THAT WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, NOT HERS. SO I HOPE BY NOW YOU'VE LEARNED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CLERK OF THE BOARD AND THE COUNTY CLERK.

SO YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO HER. FORGET ABOUT YOUR MEDICAL SCHOOL.

TWO LOCAL DOCTORS HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN LETTERS OF OPINION TO THE BOARD, TO THE NEWSPAPER.

BOTH SAID IT'S A NONSTARTER. SO HOPEFULLY YOU'VE LEARNED THAT BY NOW.

RESTORE THE IMPACT FEES. THE COUNTY NEEDS THE MONEY.

WE'VE LOST SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY. WE NEED TO GET MONEY SOMEHOW.

THANK YOU, ALAN LONG. YOU'RE A VOICE OF REASON ON THE BOARD AS WELL AS YOU, MATT PLUMMER.

YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB. APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

BECAUSE THESE OTHER THREE ARE TRYING TO RUN THIS COUNTY INTO THE GROUND.

YOU KNOW, DUE TO MR. ANSELMO. KEVIN, MANY COUNTY EMPLOYEES ARE ANXIOUS TO GET INFORMATION OUT ABOUT YOU.

SO BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION, JUST BE AWARE IT'S ALL GOING TO COME OUT.

LAURA HOBBS, FOLLOWED BY NICK GARDNER, FOLLOWED BY DANN, THEN ANTONIA.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. GOOD MORNING.

BOARD. I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS I'D LIKE TO MAKE.

SO OUR ELECTION PETITION DRIVE IS NOW COMPLETE.

WE SUBMITTED OVER 10,000 SIGNATURES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WANT TO HAVE ELECTION REFORM.

THEY WANT VOTER ID, SAME DAY ELECTION RESULTS, CLEAN VOTER ROLLS, ALL THE THINGS THAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT, NOT JUST THE MAJORITY OF SHASTA COUNTY VOTERS.

AND YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY BEFORE YOU. ELECTION CODE 9310 ALLOWS YOU TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE WITHOUT ALTERATION, EITHER AT THE REGULAR MEETING FOR WHICH THE CERTIFICATION IS PRESENTED, WHICH WILL BE COMING UP SOON. AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE VALIDATING THE SIGNATURES AND THEY WILL BE VALIDATED.

IT WILL GO, IT WILL BE PASSED. BUT YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO ACTUALLY WHEN IT IS PRESENTED TO YOU HERE AT THE BOARD MEETING.

YOU CAN ADOPT A LOCAL ORDINANCE AND HAVE IT IN EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

THAT MEANS THAT ALL SUBSEQUENT ELECTIONS WILL BE RUN FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY.

USING THESE REFORMS THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE AND GOTTEN THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY FOR.

SO YOU CAN EITHER ADOPT IT IMMEDIATELY DURING THAT MEETING OR WITHIN TEN DAYS AFTER THIS IS PRESENTED TO YOU.

AND I WANTED TO GIVE THIS TO YOU AS AN OPTION, BECAUSE AT THIS POINT, YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET THE CREDIT FOR ALL THE HARD WORK OF THE CITIZENS WHO ACTUALLY CIRCULATED THIS PETITION.

YOU COULD GET THAT CREDIT AND YOU COULD CHAMPION IT AS YOUR CAUSE INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING BEHIND WHAT'S GOING AT THE STATE LEVEL OR THE NATIONAL LEVEL.

YOU COULD DEMONSTRATE TRUE LEADERSHIP IN THIS AREA, AND YOU COULD GET ALL THE CREDIT.

YOU COULD USE THAT POLITICAL CAPITAL IN YOUR UPCOMING ELECTIONS AS WELL.

THANK YOU. NICK GARDNER FOLLOWED BY DAN, FOLLOWED BY ANTONIA.

SUPERVISOR LONG. I WAS TROUBLED BY YOUR REPLY LAST WEEK ABOUT YOU SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT NOBODY HAD PROVED TO YOU THAT THERE WAS CHEATING OR NEFARIOUS ACTIONS AT THE ROV OFFICE DURING THE LAST ELECTION.

I'D LIKE TO CHALLENGE YOU TO. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THEY'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONVINCE YOU ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

THESE LITTLE TWO MINUTE DEALS UP HERE, YOU CAN'T GET MUCH OUT.

SO I'D LIKE TO CHALLENGE YOU TO HAVE A PRIVATE MEETING 10 OR 15 MINUTES WITH THE PEOPLE THAT DID OBSERVE THOSE MEETINGS.

HAVE THEM PRIVATELY. SINGLE MEETINGS. AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU START WITH THOMAS OVER HERE.

THOMAS WENT TO ALL THE EVERY DAY WITH THE ACCOUNTING.

JIM BURNETT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE. DAN LADD HERE WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK PRIVATELY WITH THEM ABOUT WHAT WENT ON AT THE ELECTIONS WHEN THEY WERE BEING COUNTED.

KEVIN'S MOTHER WAS THERE. YOU COULD TALK TO HER.

CASEY WAS THERE AND LAURA HOBBS WAS THERE. AND YOU COULD LISTEN TO THEM SERIOUSLY.

[00:50:03]

SO IF YOU WOULD DO THAT, AT LEAST GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

MAYBE THAT WOULD HELP YOUR THOUGHTS ON OUR ELECTIONS AND CLINT CURTIS.

THANK YOU. DAN FOLLOWED BY ANTONIA. NICK WORDED IT A LOT BETTER THAN I WOULD. BUT I APOLOGIZE, I MEANT TO SEND FOUR OF YOU A THANK YOU FOR APPROVING THE MINIMUM AMOUNT THAT CLINT ASKED FOR LAST MEETING THAT WILL HELP FOR US TO GET A FAIR ELECTION.

AND I APOLOGIZE TO YOU, MR. LONG. I WILL SEND YOU OUR 52 AFFIDAVITS OF PEOPLE THAT SAW LAWS BEING BROKEN.

AND SO I'LL TRY TO GET THAT TO YOU THIS WEEK SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, WHY WE'RE HERE. I'M EXCITED THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONSIDERING THIS LETTER ABOUT PROP 50.

IT'S, IT WON'T BE, WE WON'T BE REPRESENTED JUST BECAUSE THE LAND MASS THAT THAT COVERS IS SO CRAZY.

NO REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE ABLE TO FAIRLY MEET WITH THE PEOPLE.

IT'S JUST PURELY TO CHANGE HOW THE MAJORITY IN THAT DISTRICT WILL VOTE.

AND SO IT'S THAT GERRYMANDERING IS A GOOD TERM FOR IT.

AND I AGAIN, I THINK THE ELECTIONS REALLY NEED SOME HELP.

I THINK WE'RE ON A GOOD PATH. THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST IT SAYING THAT THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ISSUES AND STUFF, THE GUYS THAT ARE UPSET WITH OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT HE REALLY STANDS FOR AND WHAT'S GOING ON THERE. THEY'RE LISTENING TO THEIR NEWS MEDIA SOURCE AND NOT GETTING GOOD INFORMATION.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU HEARING ME OUT. AND I PRAY THAT YOU GUYS WILL DO A GOOD JOB THIS WEEK.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANTONIA, COME ON UP. THIS IS OUR LAST ONE STEPHANIE? YES. GOOD MORNING. BOARD. PLEASE ADOPT THE VOTER I.D.

INITIATIVE. THIS WAS SUPPORTED BY OVER 10,000 PEOPLE FROM SHASTA COUNTY.

BY ADOPTING THIS MEASURE, THIS MEASURE WOULD BE SAVING THE COUNTY MONEY.

AND WE ARE ALL ABOUT SAVING MONEY, RIGHT? SHOW THE PEOPLE THAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE ELECTION INTEGRITY.

THAT WOULD BRING TRUST. AND TO MANY OF THE PEOPLE OF SHASTA COUNTY AND TRUST IN YOUR DECISIONS.

THANK YOU. CHAIR THAT WAS OUR LAST SPEAKER. ALL RIGHT.

MOVING ON TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR. MISS BLANKENSHIP, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN PULLED BY ANY OF THE SUPERVISORS?

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER, SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR KELSTROM. WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN PUBLIC COMMENT.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. AND THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR THE VOTE ON C2 SPECIFICALLY.

MOVING TO. FOR CLOSED SESSION CHAIR, WE ONLY HAVE ONE SPEAKER FOR SPEAKING TO ITEM R2, AND THAT'S JENNY.

[CLOSED SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT]

MAYBE A STAMP. GO AHEAD. OH, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY.

JUST A QUESTION ABOUT WHY THE REST OF THE OPIOID LIKE FUNDS AND LITIGATION HAVE BEEN PUBLIC BUT THIS IS NOT, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE, IF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S HAPPENED WITH THE OPIOID MONEY AND LAWSUITS HAS BEEN PUBLIC, JUST WHY ISN'T THIS LIKE. OR WILL THE STUFF FROM THIS BE PUBLIC AFTER? JUST QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. AND CHAIR WITH THAT.

THAT'S OUR LAST SPEAKER. ALL RIGHT. CLOSED SESSION IS ESTIMATED AT 30 MINUTES.

I WILL SAY JUST IN CASE, BECAUSE LAST TIME WE DID FINISH EARLY.

SO WE WILL NOT BE BACK BEFORE 10:15. WITH THAT, WE ARE AT RECESS.

RETURNING FROM CLOSED SESSION. COUNSEL LARMER.

[REPORT OF CLOSED SESSION ACTIONS]

NO REPORTABLE ACTION. THANK YOU, MISS BLANKENSHIP.

IS THERE ANYTHING FROM THE AGENDA THAT WE DID NOT GET TO? NO, CHAIR. SEE YOU. RICKERT. YOU GOOD? NOTHING HERE, MR. CHAIRMAN. WITH THAT. HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR WEEK.

WE ARE ADJOURNED.
