[R1 Adopt a resolution which recognizes Jeffrey Edenburn, Supervising Accountant with the Health and Human Services Agency as Shasta County’s Employee of the Month for July 2026.]

SUPERVISING ACCOUNTANT WITH THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY, AS SHASTA COUNTY'S EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR JULY 2026.

SUPERVISOR HARMON. GOOD MORNING. NICE, JEFF. THE FAMILY.

I DID THE SAME THING. TWO GIRLS, THEN FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT.

THE BOY RIGHT. AND THEN SHE SAID NO MORE. SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SOMETHING LIKE. OKAY. SAME PROGRAM. OKAY. SORRY.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. JEFFREY EDINBURGH. EDINBURGH, SORRY.

OH MY GOSH. I WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO MAKE SURE I GOT THAT PRONOUNCED RIGHT EDINBURGH, WITH HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY.

WHEREAS THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SHASTA HAS ADOPTED THE SHASTA COUNTY EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PROGRAM TO IDENTIFY EXCEPTIONAL EMPLOYEES WHO DESERVE TO BE RECOGNIZED AND HONORED FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO COUNTY SERVICE.

AND WHEREAS SUCH RECOGNITION IS GIVEN TO EMPLOYEES MEETING THE CRITERIA OF THE PROGRAM, NAMELY EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE, PROFESSIONALISM, HIGH ETHICAL STANDARDS, INITIATIVE, INNOVATION, TEAMWORK, PRODUCTIVITY AND SERVICE AS A ROLE MODEL FOR OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEES. AND WHEREAS, THE SHASTA COUNTY EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION COMMITTEE HAS CONSIDERED ALL CURRENT NOMINATIONS FOR THE SHASTA COUNTY EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH. AND WHEREAS, JEFF EDENBORN HAS BEEN AN EMPLOYEE OF SHASTA COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY SINCE MARCH 24TH, 2024. JEFF CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES HIGH QUALITY INTERNAL CUSTOMER SERVICE BY BEING RESPONSIVE, APPROACHABLE, AND SOLUTION ORIENTED. JEFF WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH STAFF ACROSS PROGRAMS TO RESOLVE AND ANSWER FISCAL QUESTIONS AND ISSUES EFFICIENTLY, WHILE ALSO ENSURING SERVICES CONTINUE WITHOUT AN UNNECESSARY DELAYS FOR STREAMLINED PROCESS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A PUBLIC HEALTH UNIT EXPERIENCED UNUSUALLY HIGH UTILITY COSTS FROM THE PROVIDER, JEFF CONTACTED THE PROVIDER TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE.

JEFF WORKED DIRECTLY WITH THEM TO IDENTIFY WHICH METER THE BUILDING WAS CONNECTED TO AND DISCOVERED INACCURATE READINGS.

THIS LED TO A COMPREHENSIVE REVISION OF METERS AND UTILITY READINGS FOR THE BRESLAUER CAMPUS, ENSURING THAT THE PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTY ARE NOW CHARGED WITH ACCURATE UTILITY COSTS.

I THINK I NEED TO CHECK MY METERS. CAN YOU CHECK MY METERS FOR ME? JEFF CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATES EXCEPTIONAL PROFESSIONALISM WHILE ACTIVELY SEEKING OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE AND STREAMLINE PUBLIC HEALTH FISCAL PROCESSES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION.

AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS HIS WORK TO DISCONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEALTH ADMINISTRATION ALLOCATION, AFTER DETERMINING THAT THE BENEFITS OF MAINTAINING THESE JOURNALS DID NOT OUTWEIGH THE COSTS TO SHASTA COUNTY.

HIS THOUGHTFUL, DATA DRIVEN APPROACH REFLECTS A STRONG COMMITMENT TO EFFICIENCY AND RESPONSIBLE FISCAL MANAGEMENT.

JEFF UPHOLDS HIGH STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT BY CONSISTENTLY BEING AUDIT, CONSCIOUS AND WHEN REVIEWING INVOICES, ENSURING ACCURACY, COMPLIANCE, AND FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

JEFF PRIORITIZES TRANSPARENCY BY KEEPING HIS TEAM INFORMED, HELPING TO MINIMIZE UNCERTAINTY DURING TIMES OF CHANGE.

JEFF NOT ONLY SUPPORTS HIS TEAM, BUT SUPPORTS OTHER TEAMS TO ENSURE SMOOTH AND STREAMLINED WORKFLOW.

HIS WILLINGNESS TO ASSIST OTHERS CONTRIBUTES TO TO STABILITY ACROSS PROGRAMS WITHIN THE PUBLIC HEALTH BRANCH OF THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY.

JEFF MAINTAINS OUTSTANDING PRODUCTIVITY WHILE MANAGING MULTIPLE PRIORITIES, WHILE MANAGING MULTIPLE PRIORITIES AND DEADLINES.

[00:10:02]

HE REVIEWS NUMEROUS INVOICES AND JOURNALS ON A MONTHLY AND QUARTERLY BASIS, ENSURING DEADLINES ARE MET, ALONG WITH MAKING SURE HIS TEAM REMAINS SUCCESSFUL.

HIS EFFICIENCY AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL HELP ENSURE CRITICAL WORK IS COMPLETE, COMPLETED ACCURATELY AND ON TIME BY HIS TEAM TO MEET ALL THE REQUIRED DEADLINES. JEFF LEADS BY EXAMPLE THROUGH PROFESSIONALISM, INTEGRITY, AND CONSISTENT DEDICATION TO PUBLIC SERVICE.

HE INSPIRES OTHERS BY MAINTAINING A CALM APPROACH, EVEN IN HIGH PRESSURE SITUATIONS, WHICH SETS A POSITIVE TONE THROUGHOUT THE WORKPLACE.

JEFF, YOU DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WAS THIS GOOD, DID YOU? I'D ASK FOR A RAISE IF I WERE YOU. JEFF ACTIVELY MENTORS AND SUPPORTS COLLEGES COLLEAGUES BY SHARING HIS KNOWLEDGE, OFFERING GUIDANCE, AND HELPING OTHERS BUILD CONFIDENCE IN THEIR ROLES.

HIS TRANSPARENCY AND CLEAR COMMUNICATION FOSTER TRUST AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO MODEL THE SAME BEHAVIOR.

HE CREATES AN INCLUSIVE AND SUPPORTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT WHERE EMPLOYEES FEEL VALUED, RESPECTED AND MOTIVATED TO DO THEIR BEST WORK.

FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, FOR THE REASONS STATED ABOVE, THE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS JEFFREY EDENBORN, SUPERVISING ACCOUNTANT IN THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY TO BE SELECTED AS THE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR JULY 2026.

AND NOW I INVITE ERINN TO COME UP TO THE PODIUM.

GOOD MORNING. KELSTROM MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. ERINN WATTS, BRANCH DIRECTOR OF HHS ADMINISTRATION.

I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE TODAY TO HONOR JEFF EDENBORN, SUPERVISING ACCOUNTANT OVER THE PUBLIC HEALTH COST REPORTING AND PLANNING UNIT IN HHS ADMINISTRATION. WHEN JEFF JOINED THE TEAM IN MARCH OF 2024, HE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING.

AS SHARED IN THE RESOLUTION, JEFF HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS NOT ONLY TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH FISCAL UNIT, BUT ALSO TO OUR BRANCH LEADERSHIP TEAM AND ACROSS THE AGENCY, MANY OF WHICH RESULTED IN COST SAVINGS AND EFFICIENCIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF THE AGENCY. JEFF IS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO SPEAKS UP WHEN THE ROOM IS QUIET TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTIVE AND ACTIONABLE FEEDBACK OR THOUGHT PROVOKING IDEA.

HE IS ALWAYS THINKING OF WAYS TO IMPROVE PROCESSES, CREATE EFFICIENCIES, AND BUILD MORALE AND TEAM SPIRIT.

HE IS REGULARLY RECOGNIZED FOR THE SUPPORT HE PROVIDES TO HIS TEAM, THE ADMIN BRANCH AND THE AGENCY, SO THIS RECOGNITION TODAY IS FITTING. MOST RECENTLY, JEFF RECEIVED KUDOS FROM THE PUBLIC HEALTH BRANCH DIRECTOR, KATIE CASSIDY FOR HIS SUPPORT IN IDENTIFYING AREAS FOR ADDITIONAL COST SAVINGS IN PUBLIC HEALTH.

AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S ALSO NOTABLE THAT JEFF IS THE TYPE OF PERSON TO RECOGNIZE OTHERS AND SHARE KUDOS WITH COLLEAGUES AND STAFF ACROSS HHS.

HE REGULARLY COMPLIMENTS HIS TEAM, COLLEAGUES, AND MANAGERS FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND SUPPORT OF THE AGENCY AS WELL.

JEFF EMBODIES THE HHS CORE VALUES OF COLLABORATION, ADAPTABILITY, RESPECT, AND EXCELLENCE.

NOT TO MENTION, HE IS HILARIOUS AND PROMOTES HUMOR AND CAMARADERIE WITHIN THE BRANCH, PARTICIPATING IN THE CHEERS FROM PEERS MORALE COMMITTEE AND ISSUING FUN CHALLENGES LIKE AGREEING TO DO THE WATER DUNK CHALLENGE LAST MONTH. AS LONG AS CHRISTY AND I DID IT TOO.

WE ARE PLEASED THAT JEFF IS BEING RECOGNIZED TODAY AS THE SHASTA COUNTY EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR JULY 2026.

THANK YOU. JEFF, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANY WORDS? YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BUT HE'S READY. READY? I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I'M HONORED TO RECEIVE THE RECOGNITION.

I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COUNTY. AND THAT GOES FOR EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE.

EVERYBODY OUT THERE. THE LEADERSHIP AND THE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED ME.

AGAIN, THANK YOU TO THE PUBLIC FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THE REASON THAT WE ALL DO WHAT WE DO HERE.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THIS COMMUNITY, SO IT'S ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL TO ME TO RECEIVE A REWARD FOR RECOGNITION FOR JUST WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO TO GIVE BACK TO THE PUBLIC, AND I'M, YOU KNOW, APPRECIATIVE OF THAT.

PUBLIC SERVICE IS A RESPONSIBILITY THAT I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN.

AND I'M GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF A TEAM THAT WORKS EACH AND EVERY DAY VERY HARD TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES AND MAKE SHASTA COUNTY AS GREAT AS IT IS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU JEFF. SO BEFORE WE GET THE SUPERVISOR, HARMON MAKES A MOTION TO ADOPT.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? WE DO NOT CHAIR. OKAY.

I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADOPT THE PROCLAMATION.

ADOPT. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION. SECOND BY, SECOND WAS BY SUPERVISOR LONG.

OKAY WITH THAT, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

SO DID WE DO THE PUBLIC COMMENT? WE DID. OKAY.

SO CORKEY'S GOT SOME GOODIES FOR YOU.

[00:15:10]

MR. EDINBURG. BURN, BURN. TOO MANY CHRISTMAS.

I KNOW, RIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS. SO MUCH. OKAY, HERE'S THE LIST.

RIGHT. CAN'T HOLD THE BAG YET, BECAUSE I GOT TO READ OFF OF IT.

THERE'S A 30 INSIDE THE BAG. THERE'S $30 AMAZON GIFT CERTIFICATE DONATED BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD FORUM DONATED BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD FORUM. THAT'D BE YOU. YES.

$20 DUTCH BROS GIFT CERTIFICATE DONATED BY THE SHERIFF'S ADMINISTRATION ASSOCIATION.

GOOD JOB. $35 READING PUBLIC MARKET GIFT CERTIFICATE DONATED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

$25 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO R&R QUALITY MEAT AND SEAFOOD DONATED BY THE SHASTA COUNTY VETERANS AFFILIATED COUNCIL.

AND $25 GENERAL UNIT. [APPLAUSE]. ALL RIGHT. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND WE'RE GOING TO GET PICTURES. YEAH. WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE.

ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON. AND THANK YOU, JEFF, AND THANKS FOR THE WHOLE HHS TEAM.

WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT REGARDING LOCAL PROBATION SERVICES AND ADOPTED PROCLAMATION, WHICH DESIGNATES JULY 19TH TO 25TH,

[R2 Receive a presentation from the Probation Department regarding local probation services and adopt a proclamation which designates July 19-25, 2026, as “Probation Services Week” in Shasta County (Sponsored by Supervisor Long).]

2026 AS PROBATION SERVICES WEEK IN SHASTA COUNTY, SPONSORED BY SUPERVISOR LONG.

SUPERVISOR LONG. THANK YOU CHAIR. IT'S WITH GREAT HONOR THAT I'M ABLE TO INTRODUCE THIS PRESENTATION PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING JULY 19TH THROUGH THE 25TH AS PROBATION SERVICES WEEK HERE IN SHASTA COUNTY.

IT'S A NATIONWIDE MOVEMENT. AND WE ALL KNOW THE WONDERFUL WORK THAT PROBATION DOES AND MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TIRELESSLY TO PROMOTE PUBLIC SAFETY IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND SO I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT.

I'M GOING TO READ THE PROCLAMATION. LET'S SEE, PROBATION SERVICES WEEK, JULY 19TH THROUGH 25TH, 2026. WHEREAS THE WEEK OF JULY 19TH THROUGH 25TH, 2026 IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AS PROBATION SUPERVISION WEEK. AND WHEREAS PROBATION OFFICERS AND JUVENILE DETENTION OFFICERS ARE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, WORKING ALONGSIDE OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COUNTY AND PUBLIC AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS. AND WHEREAS PROBATION OFFICERS AND JUVENILE DETENTION OFFICERS ARE DEDICATED, HARD WORKING, PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE WHO ARE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT PROVIDING PUBLIC SAFETY THROUGH OFFENDER ACCOUNTABILITY, PROMOTING OFFENDER REHABILITATION AND PREVENTING CRIME.

AND WHEREAS PROBATION OFFICERS ARE SWORN, PEACE OFFICERS AND JUVENILE DETENTION OFFICERS ARE SWORN PEACE OFFICERS WHILE ON DUTY AND TRAINED EXPERTS PREPARED TO MANAGE TRAUMA AND CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS AND ARE A CONNECTOR IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM,

[00:20:02]

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN AND MAXIMIZING THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE WITHIN THE COURTS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, LAW ENFORCEMENT, SOCIAL SERVICES, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, SCHOOLS, VICTIM ORGANIZATIONS, NONPROFITS AND THE COMMUNITY TO REDUCE RECIDIVISM BY CAREFULLY BALANCING DIRECT SERVICES AND EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS AND INTERVENTIONS.

AND WHEREAS PROBATION OFFICERS AND JUVENILE DETENTION OFFICERS PROVIDE SERVICES, SUPPORT AND PROTECTION FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME.

AND WHEREAS, PROBATION MAKES EFFORTS TO BALANCE THE NEED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY WITH INDIVIDUALIZED REHABILITATIVE TREATMENT AND SERVICES, PROVIDING INDIVIDUALS THE SUPPORT AND OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCESSFULLY REENTER AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE SHASTA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HEREBY PROCLAIMS JULY 19TH THROUGH 25TH, 2026 AS PROBATION SERVICES WEEK IN SHASTA COUNTY AND HIGHLIGHTS PROBATION'S IMMENSE CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR COMMUNITIES AND TO OUR STATE. AND WITH THAT, I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT THIS PROCLAMATION.

SECOND. MOTION MADE BY SUPERVISOR LONG. SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? WE DO NOT, CHAIR, BUT DO WE WANT THEM TO MAKE THEIR PRESENTATION? WE DO. YES. ALL RIGHT. LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE READY FOR THE VIDEO.

LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE READY FOR THE VIDEO. GOOD MORNING CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

JAMES GOODWIN, DIVISION DIRECTOR. FIRSTLY, I'D LIKE TO THANK SUPERVISOR LONG FOR SPONSORING THIS PROCLAMATION.

IT MEANS A LOT TO HAVE THE BOARD SUPPORTING THE WORK THAT WE DO. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AS WE RECOGNIZE JULY 19TH THROUGH THE 25TH AS PROBATION SERVICES WEEK.

A TIME WHEN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE NATION PAUSE TO APPRECIATE THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT PROBATION PROFESSIONALS DO EVERY DAY.

WHILE MUCH OF THIS WORK HAPPENS QUIETLY AND BEHIND THE SCENES, ITS IMPACT IS FELT WIDELY THROUGH SAFER NEIGHBORHOODS, STRONGER FAMILIES, AND GREATER OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS STRIVING TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES.

PROBATION PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN OUR PUBLIC SAFETY SYSTEM.

OUR PROBATION ASSISTANCE, PEER SUPPORT SPECIALIST, JUVENILE DETENTION OFFICERS AND DEPUTY PROBATION OFFICERS WORK DIRECTLY WITH PEOPLE AT A TURNING POINT, A MOMENT WHEN SUPPORT, GUIDANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY CAN CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF SOMEONE'S LIFE.

AND THE RESULTS ARE REAL. WE HEAR STORIES FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE OVERCOME YEARS OF CHALLENGES, FOUND STABILITY, REUNITED WITH FAMILY, RETURNED TO SCHOOL, EARNED COLLEGE DEGREES, AND DISCOVERED NEW CONFIDENCE IN THEIR FUTURES.

THESE SUCCESSES AREN'T JUST PERSONAL VICTORIES, THEY STRENGTHEN OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO WORK WITH THOSE WHO, DESPITE PROACTIVE SUPERVISION AND STRUCTURED ACCOUNTABILITY, REMAIN ENTRENCHED IN LIFESTYLES OF DYSFUNCTION, RESULTING IN CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND VIOLENCE. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE CHANGE AS A PROCESS, IN THESE INSTANCES, ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE SAKE OF PUBLIC SAFETY BECOMES OUR FOCUS.

WHAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T SEE IS THE BREADTH OF SERVICES PROBATION PROVIDES.

BEYOND PROACTIVE SUPERVISION OUR DEPARTMENT IS INVOLVED IN PREVENTION TREATMENT, REENTRY SUPPORT, VICTIM SERVICES, YOUTH PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES, AND COMMUNITY-BASED PARTNERSHIPS.

WHILE OUR FACILITY STAFF CREATE A BALANCED ENVIRONMENT OF SAFETY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND OPPORTUNITY, THEY PROVIDE PRO-SOCIAL ENRICHMENT, MENTORING, AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT.

OUR ARMED FIELD OFFICERS PROVIDE MUTUAL AID TO PARTNER AGENCIES DURING EMERGENCIES, AND OUR JUVENILE PREVENTION OFFICERS SUPPORT THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF YOUTH IN OUR SCHOOLS. WE ASSIST FAMILIES AND HELP CONNECT PEOPLE TO RESOURCES SUCH AS MENTAL HEALTH CARE, HOUSING, WELLNESS PROGRAMS AND EMPLOYMENT PATHWAYS.

ALL OF THIS STRENGTHENS COMMUNITY SAFETY, NOT JUST TODAY, BUT LONG TERM.

EVERY PERSON IN THIS DEPARTMENT, WHETHER WORKING DIRECTLY WITH YOUTH, ADULT OFFENDERS OR IN SUPPORTING OPERATIONS, PLAYS A MEANINGFUL PART IN CREATING THESE OUTCOMES.

THEIR DEDICATION REFLECTS A DEEP COMMITMENT TO PUBLIC SERVICE AND TO HELPING PEOPLE FIND AND MAKE SUSTAINABLE, POSITIVE CHANGE. I'M BLESSED TO WORK ALONG THESE ALONGSIDE THESE AMAZING, DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS.

AS A LEADER, I'M NOT ONLY PROUD OF WHAT WE ACCOMPLISH EVERY DAY, BUT I'M ALSO PROUD OF THOSE WORKING HARD TO BUILD A FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. TOGETHER, WE ARE CREATING SAFER COMMUNITIES, BETTER LIVES.

SO THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY OR PROVIDING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE DO.

TO END MY PRESENTATION OUR TEAM HAS CREATED A SHORT VIDEO IN HONOR OF PROBATION SERVICES WEEK, WHICH WILL BE RELEASED ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THANK YOU. COMMUNITIES ACROSS SHASTA COUNTY, THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT WORKS QUIETLY BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY. WE ARE MORE THAN SUPERVISION. WE ARE PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONALS, MENTORS, PROBLEM SOLVERS, AND AGENTS OF CHANGE. OUR DEPUTY PROBATION OFFICERS WALK ALONGSIDE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES DURING SOME OF LIFE'S MOST DIFFICULT

[00:25:10]

MOMENTS. THEY HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE WHILE HELPING THEM FIND A PATH TOWARD STABILITY, TREATMENT, EDUCATION AND SUCCESS WITH THE GOAL OF PREVENTING REENTRY INTO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

OUR JUVENILE DETENTION OFFICERS CREATE A SAFE AND STRUCTURED REHABILITATIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, GROW AND DISCOVER THAT THEIR FUTURE CAN BE DIFFERENT FROM THEIR PAST.

OUR PROBATION ASSISTANTS WORK WITH LOW RISK OFFENDERS AND PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE, PROVIDING THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF SUPERVISION TO INCREASE SUCCESS.

CLERICAL SUPPORT STAFF ARE OFTEN THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT FOR THOSE WE SERVE, AND WORK BEHIND THE SCENES TO ENSURE STAFF HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO COMPLETE CASEWORK AND REPORTS. THEIR DEDICATION KEEPS OUR OPERATIONS RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND ENSURES THAT EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS IS MET WITH PROFESSIONALISM AND COMPASSION.

BEHIND THE SCENES OUR FISCAL TEAM WORKS DILIGENTLY TO MANAGE RESOURCES, SECURE FUNDING, AND SUPPORT INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS THAT STRENGTHEN OUR DEPARTMENT AND EXPAND SERVICES TO OUR COMMUNITY. TOGETHER, WE CELEBRATE MILESTONES THAT MATTER GRADUATIONS, REUNIFICATIONS RECOVERY, EMPLOYMENT, AND SECOND CHANCES. EVERY SUCCESS STORY REPRESENTS A LIFE CHANGED AND A COMMUNITY MADE SAFER.

PROBATION IS WHERE ACCOUNTABILITY MEETS OPPORTUNITY.

IT IS WHERE PARTNERSHIPS ARE BUILT, BARRIERS ARE REMOVED, AND HOPE IS RESTORED.

DURING PROBATION SERVICES WEEK, WE HONOR THE DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS WHO SERVE WITH INTEGRITY, COMPASSION AND COMMITMENT EVERY DAY. BECAUSE PUBLIC SAFETY ISN'T ACCOMPLISHED BY ONE PERSON, ONE AGENCY, OR ONE PROGRAM, IT TAKES AN ENTIRE TEAM WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD STRONGER INDIVIDUALS, STRONGER FAMILIES, AND A STRONGER SHASTA COUNTY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE]. OKAY. WITH THAT, I HAD A MOTION MADE BY SUPERVISOR LONG, SECOND BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE.

I PASSES 5-0. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY REQUEST TO SPEAK ON THAT ITEM.

I ASKED THAT YOU DID. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE.

I DON'T THINK YOU DID. I GOT IT, I GOT IT. WITH THEM.

PERFECT. [APPLAUSE].

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO OUR THREE SUPERVISOR CRYE HAS TO STEP OUT FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, SO HE'S NOT GOING TO BE HERE FOR THE VERY FIRST PART OF THIS.

[R3 Take the following actions: (1) As introduced on June 23, 2026, enact “An Ordinance of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Shasta, Adding Limitations on the Exercise of Eminent Domain to the Shasta County Charter;” (2) approve the “Argument in Favor of Adding Limitations on Exercise of Eminent Domain to the Shasta County Charter (Measure E),” for the subject measure; (3) designate authority to the County Executive Officer, or their designee, to submit the Argument / Rebuttal Signature Statement Form provided by the Elections Department; and (4) adopt a resolution which repeals and replaces Resolution No. 2026-058 and calls for an election and consolidates it with the November 3, 2026, General Election.]

HE WILL BE IN THE BACK ROOM WHERE HE CAN HEAR ALL PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS.

SO R3 IS WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS AS INTRODUCED ON JUNE 23RD, 2026, AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SHASTA ADDING LIMITATIONS ON THE EXERCISE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO THE SHASTA COUNTY CHARTER.

APPROVED THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF ADDING LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO THE SHASTA COUNTY CHARTER (MEASURE E), FOR THE SUBJECT MEASURE. DESIGNATE AUTHORITY TO THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR THEIR DESIGNEE TO SUBMIT THE ARGUMENT.

REBUTTAL SIGNATURE STATEMENT FORM PROVIDED BY THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT.

AND FOUR ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS WHICH REPEALS AND REPLACES RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025 02558 AND CALLS FOR AN ELECTION AND CONSOLIDATES IT WITH THE NOVEMBER 3RD, 2026 GENERAL ELECTION. AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT FIRST AND AGAIN, SUPERVISOR CRYE NEEDS TO STEP OUT.

HE, BUT HE WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR ALL PUBLIC COMMENT IN THE BACK ROOM.

MISS BLANKENSHIP, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? WE DO CHAIR, WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS. FIRST UP, SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, FOLLOWED BY BEV, THEN NICK GARDNER. ALL THREE PEOPLE ARE IN PERSON SO COME ON UP.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE.

[00:30:15]

THIS ITEM MR. PLUMMER. I HAVE TO ASK YOU AND ACTUALLY ADDRESS YOU TO REGARDING THIS ITEMS BECAUSE WHEN YOU RAN, YOU ACTUALLY PROMOTED WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO FOR YOURSELF.

THERE'S NOTHING HERE THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU'RE DOING FOR THE PEOPLE.

THIS IS YOUR AGENDA. MY PROBLEM WITH YOU IS THAT YOU KEEP ON VOTING LIKE THIS ITEM THREE AND THERE'S OTHER ITEMS ON THIS AGENDA.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S PART OF WHAT YOU SAY HERE.

I THINK IT SAYS ACCOUNTABILITY. SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW IF THE NEXT TIME I WILL SEND A FLIER TO THE COMMUNITY OF SHASTA LAKE TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR JOB, ESPECIALLY ON WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY, BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO.

WHEN YOU GET ELECTED, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.

WHEN YOU GO AGAINST THE PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY LIKE THE P AND Q, WHEN ACTUALLY THE VOTERS ALREADY VOTED.

AND TWO, THEY SPOKE WHEN THEY VOTED FOR THOSE ITEMS. AND HERE WE ARE, WE'RE GOING TO PUT AN ITEM THAT YOU CAN SET THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER VOTING ON IT.

SO TO ME, THAT TELLS ME THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GO AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY VOTED FOR YOU.

SO I THINK IT'S TIME TO MAKE YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR VOTES AND YOUR ACTIONS, BECAUSE I'M NOT PLEASED.

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN SHASTA LAKE ARE NOT PLEASED EITHER.

AND JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T ATTEND, THEY DON'T SEE A LOT OF WHAT YOU DO HERE, BUT I WILL START INFORMING THEM, AND I WILL START GOING DOOR TO DOOR AND SENDING OUT FLIERS AND TALKING TO PEOPLE.

WASTE TIME. NEXT UP BEV, FOLLOWED BY NICK GARDNER.

GOOD MORNING. I SUPPORT THIS. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING HAS NEVER HAPPENED DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T.

LOOK AT ALL THE RIDICULOUS LAWS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED AND CONTINUALLY BEING PASSED.

WE WERE ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE A REPUBLIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

AND LOOK AT US NOW. THANK YOU. NICK, COME ON UP.

AND, CHAIR, THIS WILL BE OUR LAST SPEAKER. OKAY. WELL, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS BACK ON THERE.

I BELIEVE AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.

YOU KNOW, OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, WHEN THEY WROTE THE CONSTITUTION, THEY PUT MANY ITEMS IN THERE THAT HADN'T HAPPENED YET AS A BLOCK AGAINST SOME THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN. IT'S MY OPINION THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SAVE SHASTA COUNTY A LOT OF MONEY. BECAUSE I KNOW IF YOU COME AFTER MY PROPERTY AND GIVE IT TO A PRIVATE ENTITY, I'M GOING TO FIGHT IT TOOTH AND NAIL, AND IT'S GOING TO COST A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN THE $50,000 IT'S GOING TO COST TO PUT IT ON THE ELECTION, ON THE BALLOT. SO I'M IN FAVOR OF IT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. GARDNER. YEAH, SO WHEN THIS WAS FIRST ON THE BALLOT LAST TIME, I MEAN I, I DON'T THINK IT WAS PROBABLY PLACED PROPERLY. I DON'T THINK IT HAD ENOUGH SUPPORT BEHIND IT.

BUT I DO THINK IT WAS A GREAT IDEA. AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT TO STOP EMINENT DOMAIN FROM THE COUNTY TAKING A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE WHOLE OF THE WHOLE PUBLIC.

IT'S TO TAKE EMINENT TO NOT USE EMINENT DOMAIN TO TAKE PROPERTY AWAY AND GIVE IT TO ANOTHER PRIVATE ORGANIZATION.

SO SUPERVISOR CRYE DID YOU WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR THE COMMENTS? YEP. OKAY. SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK TO R3? YEAH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE.

OKAY. WE'VE BEAT THIS UP, I SECOND THAT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT EXTENSIVELY.

I THINK THE PUBLIC IS WELL AWARE OF WHERE EVERYBODY STANDS ON THESE, YOU KNOW, TWO ISSUES.

SO I KNOW WE'RE TAKING R3 RIGHT NOW AND THEN R4.

IS THERE ANY BOARD DISCUSSION? NO BOARD DISCUSSION.

ALL RIGHT, MOTION WAS MADE BY SUPERVISOR CRYE.

SECONDED BY MYSELF. WE'LL JUST DO A ROLL CALL VOTE, STARTING WITH SUPERVISOR LONG.

SUPERVISOR LONG? NO. SUPERVISOR HARMON? YES. SUPERVISOR KELSTROM? YES. SUPERVISOR CRYE? YES. AND SUPERVISOR PLUMMER? NO. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON TO R4, TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS INTRODUCED ON JUNE 23RD, 2026.

ENACT AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF SHASTA, ADDING PROVISIONS FOR FILLING ELECTED DEPARTMENT HEAD POSITIONS IN THE EVENT OF A VACANCY

[00:35:02]

TO THE SHASTA COUNTY CHARTER, APPROVED THE ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF ADDING PROVIDERS FOR FILLING ELECTED DEPARTMENT HEAD POSITIONS IN THE VACANCY TO THE SHASTA COUNTY CHARTER MEASURE F, FOR THE SUBJECT. AND MEASURE AND DESIGNATE AUTHORITY TO THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER OR THEIR DESIGNEE TO SUBMIT THE ARGUMENT, REBUTTAL SIGNATURE STATEMENT FROM PROVIDED BY THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT.

SO IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? YES, CHAIR, WE HAVE ONE IN-PERSON SPEAKER SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG.

I DON'T LIKE THAT YOU GUYS ARE ABUSING YOUR POSITION AND ABUSING THE CITIZENS TAXPAYERS MONEY.

AND THE REASON KEVIN CRYE STEPPED OUT IS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT THE PRESSURE.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE HERE WHEN THE VOTES AND EVERYTHING.

HE'S TRYING TO AVOID THE, YOU KNOW, FOR US TO ADDRESS HIM BECAUSE IT'S HIM WHO ACTUALLY BRINGS THESE ITEMS. IT'S HIM WHO'S PUSHING TO WASTE TAXPAYERS MONEY BECAUSE HE COULDN'T GET WHAT HE WANTED.

HE DIDN'T WIN THE RACE. SO, YOU KNOW, HERE IS WHERE THE TOUGH LOVE COMES WHERE YOU BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAVE TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE CITIZENS, STOP WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY. UNDER THE GOVERNMENT CODE.

I THINK IT'S ABUSE, WASTE AND FRAUD. YOU'RE WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A CODE THAT I, THERE'S A CODE THAT IT CALLS THAT WHEN YOU WASTE TAXPAYERS MONEY, ACTUALLY THE CITIZENS COULD FILE A COMPLAINT UNDER THE STATE.

AND I THINK I ALREADY DONE THAT. AND THERE'S SOME THINGS COMING YOUR WAY IN REGARDING INVESTIGATIONS.

I'M NOT GOING TO DISCLOSE THAT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE'S LIKE I SAID, I TOLD YOU THAT IT WAS COMING.

YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. AND I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, THERE IS MORE COMING AND THERE WILL BE MORE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, INCLUDING PROSECUTION. IF YOU LISTEN TO MR. GAVIN NEWSOM'S VIDEO HE MENTIONED ABOUT, HE'S GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT HE PROSECUTES PEOPLE.

LIKE I TOLD YOU, I REACHED OUT TO HIM REGARDING PROSECUTING CERTAIN PEOPLE.

SO I BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE DOING BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW IT'S COMING AND IT WILL CONTINUE COMING BECAUSE I WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR PROSECUTION, INCLUDING AGAINST KEVIN CRYE, EVEN THOUGH HE LOST.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. THEY STILL WILL PROSECUTE HIM.

SHE KNOWS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT, BUT SHE DIDN'T.

SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE R4.

SECOND. ALL RIGHT, MOTION MADE BY SUPERVISOR CRYE.

SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. ANY MORE BOARD DISCUSSION? AND I'LL JUST SAY TO CORRECT THE RECORD, I HAD A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT THAT I HAD TO COULDN'T MISS.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS MOVING PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE BEGINNING.

OKAY. MOTION MADE BY CRYE. SECONDED BY PLUMMER.

SO WE'LL START WITH ROLL CALL VOTE WITH SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. SUPERVISOR PLUMMER? YES.

SUPERVISOR CRYE? YES. SUPERVISOR KELSTROM? YES.

SUPERVISOR HARMON? YES. AND SUPERVISOR LONG? NO.

PASSES 4-1. THANK YOU. OKAY. WHAT IS IT? THANK YOU.

OKAY, SO BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT HERE. SO WE HELD A MOCK MEETING A WEEK AND A HALF AGO.

AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THE AMOUNT OF DILIGENCE AND DEDICATION THAT THIS STAFF HAS DONE TO TRY TO MAKE THIS WORK.

THIS IS NOT OUR IDEA. SB 707, WE FOUGHT ALL THE WAY.

STEPHANIE'S CLERK OF THE BOARD GROUP FOUGHT IT ALL THE WAY. WE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A MESS.

BUT AGAIN, I COULD NOT BE MORE IMPRESSED AND PROUD OF THIS GROUP.

WE HAD 3 OR 4 PEOPLE FROM IT IN HERE. WE HAD THE ENTIRE CLERK OF THE BOARD'S OFFICE IN HERE.

WE HAD STEWART BOUTELLE, AND WE HAD EVERYBODY WAS IN HERE AND THEY WERE CALLING IN.

THEY WERE MAKING COMMENTS. WE WERE DOING THE TIMERS.

WE DID IN PERSON COMMENTS. SOME OF THE BEST COMMENTS I'VE EVER HEARD, BY THE WAY.

BUT WE DID THE COMMENTS PERIOD. THEN WE WENT TO THE PHONE LINES.

WE TOOK SOME PHONE COMMENTS. THEN WE WENT BACK, GAVE THE TIME BACK TO THE IN PERSON PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING. IT'S NOT PERFECT.

WE KNOW THAT. IT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE NEED TO BE TWEAKED.

WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO GET THROUGH JULY. WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEM IN PLACE, WE ALREADY KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO PROBABLY INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COUNT HOW MANY PEOPLE WE MISSED, HOW MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T GET TO SPEAK. I DID FIND OUT DURING THE MOCK MEETING THAT IF WHEN WE GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT TODAY. IF THERE WAS TWO PEOPLE LEFT TO SPEAK, I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY, LET'S GO AHEAD AND GIVE THEM ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES AND LET THOSE LAST TWO PEOPLE SPEAK. WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT RULE TWO AND SEE IF WE CAN CHANGE THAT IN THE FUTURE. SO IN THE TIME BEING AGAIN, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'S JUST THROWN TOGETHER.

WE DIDN'T JUST RANDOMLY SAY, YOU KNOW, LET'S GIVE THEM 30 MINUTES AND 15 MINUTES IN PERSON,

[00:40:01]

15 MINUTES ON THE PHONE. THEY HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY AT THIS VERY DILIGENTLY.

AND AGAIN, I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THE ENTIRE TEAM AND WHAT THEY'VE BROUGHT TO YOU.

IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT IT'S WHAT WE GOT FOR THE NEXT TWO MEETINGS AND WE WILL TWEAK IT FROM THERE.

SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC SPEAKERS IN PERSON?

[PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD - OPEN TIME]

SPEAKERS? WE DO CHAIR. FIRST UP, STEVE WOODRUM, FOLLOWED BY DON DUCKETT.

BEFORE WE DO GET STARTED AND WHILE STEVE'S ON HIS WAY UP, I DID WANT TO NOTE WE DON'T HAVE ANY REQUEST TO SPEAK REMOTELY.

SO ALL OF THE 30 MINUTE TIME WILL BE LENDED TO THOSE IN PERSON.

SO STEVE, COME ON UP. FANTASTIC. FOLLOWED BY DON DUCKETT, SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, THEN CAROL REEVES.

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

MONIKA FUGITT INVESTIGATED CURTIS. HIS SUPPORTERS NOW SAY THAT FUGITT WAS BIASED AND SHE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED AND HER CONCLUSIONS IGNORED. CRYE ORIGINALLY CALLED IT A WITCH HUNT.

SOME NEW HIRES SAY THAT CURTIS WAS GOOD TO THEM.

AS IF THAT MEANS HE COULDN'T HAVE EVER BEEN BAD TO ANYONE ELSE.

WELL CONSIDER THIS, BOTH INVESTIGATIONS CRITICIZED CURTIS.

SEVERAL SUPERVISORS HAVE CAUTIONED HIM TO BE MORE CAREFUL.

THIS BOARD PLEDGED TO COVER THE LEGAL COSTS OF ANY EMPLOYEES THAT WERE SUED BY CURTIS.

THIS BOARD SENT MONITORS INTO THE ELECTIONS OFFICE TO PROTECT EMPLOYEES FROM HIS MISBEHAVIOR.

CURTIS HAS A HISTORY OF RECKLESS PUBLIC TALK, AND HE IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

THAT'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. CURTIS LOST THE TRUST AND SUPPORT OF THE VOTERS, AND HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE RESPONDED BY SMEARING FUGITT. THIS IS WRONG. IT'S GOT TO STOP.

THE BOARD NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION. 5-0 UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP, DON DUCKETT, FOLLOWED BY SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, CAROL REEVES, THEN BEV.

GOOD MORNING, BOARD. CHAIR KELSTROM, I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING EXPANDING THE PUBLIC COMMENT TIME WITH THE NEW RULES, AND THAT THE COUNTY IS JUST TRYING TO COMPLY WITH A STATE MANDATE.

I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT BACK IN 2020, THE BOARD AT THAT TIME WAS TRYING TO COMPLY WITH STATE MANDATES AND CLOSING THE BOARD CHAMBERS. AND WE HAD CROWDS WITH BULLHORNS SAYING THAT THE BOARD AT THE TIME WAS TAKING AWAY THEIR VOICE AND, YOU KNOW, PUTTING BARRIERS IN FRONT OF THEIR PARTICIPATION WITH THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

SO I JUST WANT TO URGE THIS BOARD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A STATE MANDATE TO PROCEED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION AND GIVE THE PUBLIC, THAT TAKES TIME OUT OF THEIR DAYS, I TAKE A DAY OFF WORK TO COME DOWN HERE AND PARTICIPATE IN MY LOCAL GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE I'M ENGAGED AND I CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTY AND GIVE US EVERY BENEFIT TO INTERACT WITH YOU.

I THINK A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WOULD BE TO EXPAND THE PUBLIC COMMENT TIME.

GIVE US THREE MINUTES. TWO MINUTES OFTEN FEELS RUSHED, ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMPLICATED MATTERS.

AND PEOPLE OFTEN CRITIQUE MY SPEECHES SAYING, DON, YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THIS AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT.

WELL, IT'S REALLY HARD TO GET UP HERE AND MAKE A COGENT POINT ON A COMPLICATED TOPIC IN TWO MINUTES.

SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THE BEST THAT YOU CAN WITH THE STATE MANDATE, BUT I WOULD URGE THIS BOARD TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER AND PRESERVE THE RIGHT OF YOUR CITIZENS AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO INTERACT WITH YOU.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP, SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, FOLLOWED BY CAROL REEVES, BEV, THEN STEVE CONN.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER, BUT I'M GOING TO REMIND YOU THAT TWO COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO I TOLD YOU THAT THERE'S STUFF COMING DOWN IN THE ACLU CONTACTED ME, SECRETARY OF STATE, AND I TOLD YOU THE ACLU DID REACH OUT TO ME.

AND LIKE I TOLD YOU, THINGS ARE COMING. THEY FILED A LAWSUIT ALSO AGAINST THE COUNTY.

SO FOR YOU GUYS TO CONTINUE DOING YOUR LITTLE SHOW HERE REGARDING NOT TAKING ACTION AGAINST CLINT CURTIS, YOU CONTINUE TO ALLOW HIM TO BE IN THAT DEPARTMENT.

DON'T TELL ME YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING. IF I COULD REACH OUT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN NEW YORK FOR THEM TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST HIM.

DON'T TELL ME YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE I DID SO. AND ANOTHER THING.

YOU BETTER START DOING SOMETHING. DID YOU KNOW THAT THAT LAURA AND CLINT CURTIS ACTUALLY SOLD SOME ITEMS TO MR. DOUG FRANK? DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY SOLD SOME DATABASE TO THEM? THEY PUT IT OUT THERE IN THE IN THE TEXT, IN THE WEBSITE.

[00:45:03]

THEY REACHED SOMEBODY REACHED OUT TO ME AND PROVIDED ME THIS INFORMATION.

HOW FAR ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO ALLOW THESE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE DOING THIS UNTIL THE BANKRUPT THE COUNTY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO, BECAUSE YOU ALSO HAVE OTHER LAWSUITS COMING.

THREE MORE ARE COMING YOUR WAY CIVIL RIGHTS. YOU VIOLATED MULTIPLE PEOPLE'S CIVIL RIGHTS, INCLUDING MINE.

WHEN STUPID KEVIN MADE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT RACIAL ABOUT ME.

AND YOU ALLOW IT. NONE OF YOU STAND UP AS BOARD OF SUPERVISOR TO PUT HIM AND SAY, HEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

DON'T SAY THAT. NONE OF YOU STAND UP FOR THE CITIZENS TO EVEN TO MAKE HIM ACCOUNTABLE WHILE YOU'RE SITTING THERE.

THERE'S MORE CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS HAVE HAPPENED HERE.

SO I FILE THEY TAKEN ON THOSE CASES, AND NOBODY HAS DONE NOTHING AS YOU AS BOARD.

BUT NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THE PRICE BECAUSE NOW IT'S GOING TO BE THE STATE VERSUS YOU GUYS, NOT US AGAINST YOU, SO. CAROL REEVES FOLLOWED BY BEV, STEVE CONN, THEN MARTINA, IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. CAROL, COME ON UP. GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS.

PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE REGISTERED LIKE THIS AND THE FIRST TIME I'VE MADE PUBLIC COMMENT.

SO BEAR WITH ME. FIRST OF ALL, JUST KIND OF LIKE FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT WAS SAID BEFORE ANYTHING GOES.

SO I'M GOING TO BRING UP CLINT CURTIS AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU GUYS FOR APPOINTING HIM.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I AM AGAINST ANY KIND OF CENSURE OF CLINT CURTIS BECAUSE ELECTIONS ARE COMING UP AND HE'S DONE A GREAT JOB.

SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE. SECOND THING IS THE ALPR THE AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS. I WAS JUST READING THE OTHER DAY. SEE, WE'VE GOT THESE IN OUR COUNTY AND I'M OPPOSED TO THAT.

AND WHAT I DID WAS I DID SOME RESEARCH IN LOS ANGELES.

THE LAPD HAS NOT RENEWED THEIR CONTRACT WITH FLOCK.

FLOCK IS JUST A COMPANY THAT THAT SUPPLIES THOSE, BUT THAT KIND OF LIKE SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE REST OF US.

AND I THINK THAT BECAUSE OF THE CITIZENS RISING UP AND SAYING WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE DATA THAT'S BEING SHARED, IT CAN BE ACCESSED. WHO KNOWS HOW LONG IT WILL BE ON THERE BEFORE IT WILL BE DELETED.

ANYWAY, SO I AM AGAINST. AND IF THERE'S ANY WAY WE CAN BACKPEDAL AND NOT HAVE THESE FLOCK CAMERAS IN OUR COUNTY, I WOULD DEFINITELY APPROVE THAT AND ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

ONE OTHER THING. THE COURTHOUSE IT WAS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY.

I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE DEMOLISHED. AND I'M ASKING THAT I THINK IT WAS SHASTA UNFILTERED THAT HAS RECOMMENDED A PAUSE ON THAT DEMOLITION AND THAT THEY WOULD DO AN INVESTIGATED FEASIBILITY INVESTIGATION TO KIND OF LIKE FIGURE OUT WHAT ELSE CAN BE DONE WITH THE COURTHOUSE BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY RETROFITTED, IT'S GOT RESTROOMS THAT ARE PERFECT, HVAC, EVERYTHING IS IN LINE.

SO ANYWAY, THAT WOULD BE ME. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY PLEASE.

NEXT UP, BEV, FOLLOWED BY STEVE CONN, MARTINA, THEN NICK GARDNER.

BEFORE YOU START, I PULLED C1 AND C2. SO YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE, ARE YOU? NO.

OKAY. I PULLED MY NAME FROM THAT LONG AGO. I JUST WANT TO CHECK.

OKAY. WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE SPY CAMERAS. HOW OFTEN WILL IT HELP CAPTURE THE PERSON THAT STEALS A CAR? IF A CAR IS SPOTTED, ARE OUR POLICE GOING TO JUST MAKE IT A TOP PRIORITY AND GO GET THIS VEHICLE? WE, THE PEOPLE, SHOULD NOT GIVE UP OUR PRIVACY.

IT IS AN EXCUSE TO INVADE OUR PRIVACY. MAKE SURE ABUSE DOES NOT OUTWEIGH THE BENEFITS.

AND BY THE WAY, WE NEED TO HAVE A VALID INVESTIGATION.

NOT TWO RAILROADED INVESTIGATIONS. THANK YOU.

NEXT UP, STEVE CONN, FOLLOWED BY MARTINA, NICK GARDNER, THEN JANINE GONZALEZ.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. I WANT TO CONTINUE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT THE REDUCTION OF TIME SPEAKING AND LIMITS ON THE DIFFERENT AREAS. I THINK THAT WE'LL SEE OVER THE NEXT FEW MEETINGS THAT ALL THE FEAR MONGERING ABOUT PEOPLE CALLING IN BY THE THOUSANDS IS UNSUBSTANTIATED AND DOESN'T EXIST UNLESS SOMEBODY LIKE CRYE RALLIES PEOPLE TO DO IT.

THE TOTAL TIME OF 30 MINUTES AND THE TOTAL TIME OF 20 MINUTES ON AGENDA ITEMS I DON'T BELIEVE COMPLIES WITH THE BROWN ACT, BECAUSE THE BROWN ACT REQUIRES THAT WE HAVE A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO SPEAK TO THESE ITEMS, AND THAT NO LONGER EXISTS. ALSO, THERE'S A LIMIT.

THERE'S A STATEMENT THAT YOU MUST SUBMIT A PHONE NUMBER OUT IN FRONT THERE WHEN YOU REGISTER.

PEOPLE THAT DON'T HAVE A PHONE NUMBER APPARENTLY HAVE NO LONGER THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.

SO THESE RESTRICTIONS JUST SEEM TO BE CARRIED ON MORE AND MORE BY CHAIR CRYE OR CHAIR KELSTROM.

[00:50:02]

I GET CONFUSED SOMETIMES BECAUSE CRYE SEEMS TO ALWAYS RUN THE PLACE.

AND I THINK THAT'S MADE CLEAR BY SOMETHING THAT CRYE STATED PUBLICLY OVER A PUBLIC MEDIA SITUATION, SAYING THAT HE WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO SPEND 10 OR $20,000 TO HIRE INVESTIGATORS TO INVESTIGATE THE 4 OR 5 SPEAKERS THAT SPEAK REGULARLY HERE, YOU KNOW, CLAIMING HIS INVESTIGATORS EVEN USE WHAT HE CALLED THE BLACK WEB, WHICH I DON'T KNOW, THAT EXISTS. IT'S REALLY THE DARK WEB CRYE, IN CASE YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.

BUT ANYWAY, CLEARLY AN EFFORT TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE NOT TO SPEAK.

AND IT'S JUST NOT THE FLAVOR OF OUR COMMUNITY, OF OUR GOVERNMENT OF ANYTHING.

IT'S JUST WRONG FOR YOU GUYS TO CONTINUE TO RESTRICT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM CLAIM THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

NEXT UP, MARTINA, FOLLOWED BY NICK GARDNER, JANINE GONZALEZ, AND SAMANTHA CORONA.

MARTINA, COME ON UP, PLEASE. GOOD MORNING, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

HI. I ESPECIALLY THANK YOU FOR THE HONOR OF BEING ABLE TO SPEAK WITH YOU AS WELL AS YOUR TIME AND PATIENCE.

I AM ACTUALLY FROM BERNIE DISTRICT THREE. I'M REPRESENTING CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT DO ATTEND AND DO RECEIVE SERVICES THERE.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THAT CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HAS BEEN NOTED TO BE CLOSING.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE REOPENING AS FAR AS WHAT EVERYONE'S CONCERNED WITH AS FAR AS THE NEWS IS REPORTED.

BUT CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IS ONE OF THE BASE FOUNDATIONS OF BERNIE.

WE ARE A RURAL COMMUNITY. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY COLLABORATION FROM ANY OTHER HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES DOWN THERE.

SO I'VE BEEN THERE FOR TWO YEARS. I AM A NEWCOMER TO SHASTA COUNTY.

I HAVE BEEN FROM VENTURA COUNTY FOR 32 YEARS.

I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY MORE SERVICE THAN I HAVE AT CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IN BERNIE.

THAT WELLNESS CENTER, THAT CLUBHOUSE, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO TERM IT IS OUR FOUNDATION FOR OUR WELLNESS.

I HAVE I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUICIDE ATTEMPTS BECAUSE OF THAT WELLNESS CENTER AND THE TWO YEARS I'VE LIVED HERE, I'VE GONE THROUGH DIVORCE, I'VE GONE THROUGH ABUSE. I'VE GONE THROUGH ENOUGH OF WATCHING THE PEOPLE IN BERNIE SUFFER WITHOUT ANY RESOURCES THAT ARE HANDED TO THEM, BUT TO. WHENEVER SOMETHING HAPPENS, CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IS ALWAYS WHERE WE TURN.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IS WHERE OUR STAPLE IS AND HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COPE WITH LIVING IN THAT RURAL TOWN.

WE CAN'T EVEN GO AND REACH OUT TO ONE SAFE PLACE UNLESS IT'S TO GET A RIDE TO REDDING.

BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES PEOPLE COME IN YOUR LIVES, STOP YOUR HEART, AND MAKE YOU JUST WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD.

AND SOMETIMES YOU CALL THOSE PEOPLE COPS, YOU KNOW? BUT FOR US, IT'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. SO I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HONORED. AND EVERYBODY ELSE, THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING BEFORE ME BECAUSE THAT'S SOME THAT'S HAVEN'T GOTTEN US THERE.

THAT'S SOME WILLPOWER. CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IS OUR STAPLE IN OUR HOME.

PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT AWAY FROM US OR AT LEAST GIVE US SOMETHING. NEXT UP, NICK GARDNER, FOLLOWED BY JEANINE GONZALEZ, SAMANTHA CORONA, THEN LINDA HICKMAN. WELL, I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT THOUGHT MONICA FUGITT REPORT WAS BIASED. JUST THOUGHT I'D THROW THAT AT YOU.

I WAS READING IN SHASTA UNFILTERED ABOUT THE ALTERNATIVE CUSTODY PROGRAM DOWN SOUTH OF TOWN THEY WANT TO PUT IN.

AND IN THE ARTICLE, IT MORPHED OUT THAT THERE'S BEEN THINGS ADDED TO IT.

AND AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE, IT SAID THERE'S GOING TO BE A JAIL AND I THINK A MAXIMUM SECURITY OR SOME DAMN THING ABOUT THAT.

AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT'S TRUE. COULD ONE OF YOU ADDRESS THAT? HAS THERE BEEN THINGS ADDED TO THE PROPOSAL THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YET? AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ANSWER ME NOW, MAYBE KEVIN COULD COVER IT ON HIS SHOW.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP, JEANINE GONZALEZ, SAMANTHA CORONA, LINDA HICKMAN, THEN JACQUELINE.

JEANINE, COME ON UP. GOOD MORNING BOARD. I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR HELP IN PROTECTING A REALLY IMPORTANT RESOURCE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN AREA.

FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS, CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IN BURNIE HAS QUIETLY CHANGED LIVES.

I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 2014 AS A PEER SUPPORT SPECIALIST, AND I'VE WATCHED AMAZING PEOPLE GO THROUGH HORRIBLE HARDSHIPS AND LIFT THEIR LIVES UP AND BECOME SUCH PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

OUR RECENT CONTRACT HAS JUST EXPIRED. THE COUNTY HAS APPROVED OUR APPLICATION TO BECOME A CLUBHOUSE, BUT THE CONTRACT HAS NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED YET, AND THAT WILL TAKE AT A MINIMUM OF SIX MONTHS,

[00:55:02]

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD. AND IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE NO FUNDING FOR THAT TIME PERIOD.

SO WE ARE HAVING TO CLOSE AT THE END OF JULY.

WE ARE ASKING THAT THERE BE SOME STOPGAP FUNDS, A CONTRACT EXTENSION, A RETRO PRAY FOR THE FUTURE CONTRACT, SOMETHING THAT THIS RESOURCE THAT HAS IS A COOLING CENTER, A WARMING CENTER, FOOD, CLOTHING, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, GRIEF SERVICES, WHATEVER THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. WE HAVE BECOME A HUGE FAMILY WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY AND WE NEED THE PROTECTION OF OUR COUNTY SUPERVISORS.

WE APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO BE HERE TODAY AND SPEAK TO YOU AND ASK FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN SOME STOPGAP FUNDS OR. NEXT UP, SAMANTHA CORONA, FOLLOWED BY LINDA HICKMAN, JACQUELINE AND STEVEN PAUL.

SAMANTHA, COME ON UP. I'VE BEEN GOING TO CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WITH THE REST OF THEM, AND I WENT BECAUSE I KNEW NOBODY IN BURNEY. MY HUSBAND WAS IN PRISON AND THEY CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. I HAVE FRIENDS I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR.

THEY WOULD DO FOR ME. THEY HELPED ME THROUGH TWO HOUSE FIRES.

AND THE LOVE AND SUPPORT IN THE COMMUNITY IS TRUE BECAUSE A LOT OF THINGS ISN'T TRUE ANYMORE, AND WE JUST NEED TO KEEP IT OPEN BECAUSE NOBODY IN BURNEY HAS ANYTHING TO DO.

THE KIDS HAVE NOTHING. THEY DON'T HAVE NOTHING.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS PROVIDES A LOT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AND WE NEED THAT SUPPORT, SO PLEASE CONSIDER IT.

MA'AM. BUT PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T SPEAK THE WORDS THAT YOU'RE A NOBODY AND BURNEY, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW YOU, BUT PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT YOURSELF. JUST DON'T, DON'T CARRY THAT SPIRIT AND THAT AIR AS YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR LIKE YOU'RE DEFINITELY SOMEBODY. YOU'RE DEFINITELY SOMEBODY TO OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL.

SO DON'T EVER SAY THAT. NEXT UP, LINDA HICKMAN, FOLLOWED BY JACQUELINE, STEVEN PAUL, LISA BARRY, THEN ROBIN KEADY. IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. HI.

I DON'T WANT CIRCLE FRIEND TO CLOSE AND I'VE BEEN GOING THERE FOR 12 YEARS.

AND THEY HELPED ME A LOT. THEY HELPED ME GET A PLACE TO LIVE WHEN I BECAME HOMELESS RIGHT AFTER I MOVED UP HERE.

I HAD TO LEAVE MY RELATIONSHIP AND START OVER.

AND THEY HELPED ME THROUGH ALL OF THAT. I FEEL LIKE GOD SENT ME TO THEM BECAUSE I HAD NOTHING WHEN THEY STARTED HELPING ME.

IT'S NOT JUST ME. ALL THROUGH THE YEARS, I WATCHED PEOPLE SUFFERING AND THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE THERE NONSTOP FOR EVERYTHING THAT EVERYBODY NEEDED, IF THEY JUST NEEDED SUPPORT OR THEY WERE LONELY OR OR THEY'RE HANDICAPPED AND THEY NEEDED HELP OR ADVERSARIES OR FOOD. THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND I'VE HEALED A LOT.

I HAVE PTSD, AND IT'S REALLY HARD FOR ME TO COME UP HERE, BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OUR TOWN NEEDS IT'S REALLY VITAL THAT CIRCLE OF FRIENDS IS THERE BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, I FEEL LIKE THE TOWN OF BURNEY WAS GOING DOWNWARD AND I WANT TO SEE IT PROSPER. SO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.

I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO SPEAK UP, THEY'VE BEEN THERE SPEAKING UP FOR ME ALL THIS TIME.

THANK YOU. JACQUELINE. FOLLOWED BY STEVEN PAUL, LISA BARRY, ROBIN KEADY, THEN ANTONIA.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. MY NONPROFIT BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH HEALING HOMELESSNESS WILL SOON BE LAUNCHING ITS BREAKOUT TWO PART COLLABORATIVE COMMON SENSE, CORRECTIVE AND AFFORDABLE PLAN TO HEAL THE INHUMANITY OF HOMELESSNESS.

FIRST, WE NEED TO CORRECT THE DEHUMANIZING PRACTICES OF THE POLICE ACTION KNOWN AS SWEEPS.

DATA HAS SHOWN THAT HOMELESSNESS AND CRIME, PERPETUATING RESULTS FOR WHICH THE CALIFORNIA LAW 634 WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT.

[01:00:04]

WE ARE FINDING GREAT SUPPORT FOR OUR PROPOSED COLLABORATIVE COMMITTEE TO ADD INSIGHTS FROM DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES, INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT, TO EMPOWER HEALING OVER A MERE COMPLIANCE TO THIS LAW.

WE HOPE YOU WILL RESPOND TO OUR INVITATION TO COMPLEMENT THIS COALITION.

ALSO, THE CALIFORNIA LAW ADVOCATES FOR FINDING APPROPRIATE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH SUPPORT FOR THE HABITUALLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST OR NEGLECTED POPULATIONS IN THIS COMMUNITY. THAT TARGET GROUP WOULD BE THE NEURODIVERGENT, CHRONIC HOMELESS WHO MAY ACTUALLY BE TRAUMATIZED FURTHER BY THE TYPICAL OFFERINGS OF THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEIR UNIQUE CAPACITIES, NEEDS, AND CHALLENGES.

WE HAVE THE SIMPLE BUT COMPREHENSIVE ANSWER TO THAT ALSO THE DEVELOPING DIAMONDS COMMUNITY PROJECT.

ALL IT NEEDS FROM SHASTA COUNTY IS AN APPROPRIATE SITE WHICH IT IS EMPOWERED TO SUPPLY IF IT IS WILLING TO PUT PEOPLE ABOVE PROFIT.

WE URGE THIS BOARD TO POSTPONE THE SALE OF THE LOT 481400707 TO INVESTORS WHO WISH ONLY TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS AND THE COFFERS OF SHASTA COUNTY BOARD, MAKING AFFORDABLE HOUSING EVEN MORE UNAFFORDABLE.

AND WE OFFER THIS AT ZERO COST TO SHASTA COUNTY FOR MANY REASONS.

NEXT UP, STEVEN PAUL, FOLLOWED BY LISA BARRY, ROBIN KEADY, THEN ANTONIA.

I'M STEPHEN PAUL, I SUPPORT WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT AND I'M ALSO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE, WHICH I'M ONE OF THEM. AND I WANT TO SAY IS I SUPPORT WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO DO.

THANK YOU. NEXT UP, LISA BERRY, FOLLOWED BY ROBIN KEADY, THEN ANTONIA.

LISA, COME ON UP. SO TODAY I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU THE STORY OF CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

WITH PROP 63 MONEY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OPENED ITS DOORS IN BURNEY IN 2008.

AT THE TIME, OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES HAD VERY FEW MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

PEOPLE WERE TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES FOR CARE, AND MANY STRUGGLED WITH ISOLATION, POVERTY, AND TRANSPORTATION. THERE WAS A REAL NEED FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. BECAME THAT SOMETHING? IT WASN'T A CLINIC.

IT WASN'T A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. IT WAS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COULD SUPPORT EACH OTHER, LEARN NEW SKILLS, AND REBUILD THEIR LIVES. PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER TO TAKE CLASSES, VOLUNTEER, CREATE ART, LEARN TO COOK, WORK ON RECOVERY, AND SIMPLY SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WERE GOING THROUGH.

OVER THE LAST 18 YEARS, CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HAS BECOME PART OF THE FABRIC OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN AREA.

IT HAS HELPED PEOPLE FIND TRANSPORTATION TO APPOINTMENTS.

IT HAS CONNECTED PEOPLE WITH HEATING ASSISTANCE DURING THE WINTER AND COOLING RESOURCES DURING DANGEROUS SUMMER HEAT.

IT HAS HELPED PEOPLE FIND OTHER COUNTY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES.

IT HAS ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO VOLUNTEER AND GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT HAS HELPED PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES AGAIN.

THEN PROPOSITION ONE CHANGED HOW MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT FUNDING IS USED.

THAT CHANGE CREATED UNCERTAINTY FOR PROGRAMS ACROSS CALIFORNIA, INCLUDING CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

BUT THERE WAS HOPE. ON JUNE 2ND, SHASTA COUNTY ISSUED A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD THE CONTRACT FOR THE NEW PSYCHOSOCIAL CLUBHOUSE.

HILL COUNTRY COMMUNITY CLINIC WAS SELECTED TO HELP BRING THAT NEW MODEL TO OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT WAS GOOD NEWS. IT SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A FUTURE FOR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

THEN CAME THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WOULD CLOSE BEFORE THE CLUBHOUSE WAS PROVIDED A CONTRACT, WHICH REPORTEDLY WOULD TAKE ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE ASKING TO PROTECT THIS ESSENTIAL SERVICE.

IT'S NURTURING AN ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY AND ITS DEDICATED EMPLOYEES.

PLEASE PROVIDE TEMPORARY BRIDGE FUNDING. PLEASE MOVE THE CLUBHOUSE CONTRACT FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. NEXT UP, ROBIN KEADY, FOLLOWED BY ANTONIA.

ROBIN. COME ON UP. IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE.

GOOD MORNING. SOMETIMES PEOPLE ASK WHETHER WE CAN AFFORD TO KEEP A PROGRAM.

TODAY I'D LIKE TO ASK A DIFFERENT QUESTION. CAN WE AFFORD TO LOSE IT? CIRCLE OF FRIENDS COST ABOUT $22,000 A MONTH TO OPERATE.

IN RETURN IT HELPS PEOPLE STAY HEALTHY, CONNECTED, AND OUT OF CRISIS.

IT HELPS PEOPLE BEFORE THEY NEED THE AMBULANCE, BEFORE THEY END UP IN THE EMERGENCY ROOMS, BEFORE LAW ENFORCEMENT GETS CALLED, BEFORE THEY NEED MORE COUNTY SERVICES.

THAT'S JUST NOT GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ATTEND.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. IT'S GOOD FOR TAXPAYERS TOO.

AND BURNEY, WE DON'T HAVE EXTRA SERVICES WAITING TO TAKE ITS PLACE.

[01:05:04]

WHEN ONE PROGRAM CLOSES, EVERYONE ELSE TRIES TO PICK UP THE PIECES.

THAT MEANS MORE FINANCIAL PRESSURE AND INCIDENT, CRITICAL STRESS ON EMERGENCY RESPONDERS, MORE FINANCIAL PRESSURE ON HOSPITALS, MORE PRESSURE ON SOCIAL WORKERS, MORE PRESSURES ON FAMILIES WHO ARE ALREADY DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN. CIRCLE OF FRIENDS HAS HELPED PREVENT THAT FOR NEARLY 18 YEARS.

THAT MEANS THAT, SORRY, IT'S KIND OF EMOTIONAL.

I APPRECIATE THAT THE COUNTY HAS ALREADY STARTED THE TRANSITION TO THE NEW CLUBHOUSE BY ISSUING THE NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD OF CONTRACT.

NOW LET'S FINISH WHAT WE STARTED. PLEASE PROVIDE TEMPORARY BRIDGE FUNDING.

PLEASE MOVE THE CONTACT PROCESS FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS ISN'T A BREAK IN SERVICES.

THE COST OF KEEPING CIRCLE OF FRIENDS OPEN FOR A LITTLE LONGER.

SMALL COMPARED TO THE COST OF EVERYTHING IT PREVENTS.

I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ROTARY IN BURNEY AND WE HAVE A FOUR WAY TEST.

IS IT TRUE? IS IT FAIR TO ALL CONCERNED? WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? WILL IT BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL CONCERNED? WE FIND THAT'S VERY HELPFUL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND MR. KELSTROM, I'M SORRY ABOUT THE PASSING OF TODD.

I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. THE PASSING OF TODD.

I ASSUME HE WAS A RELATIVE. YEAH, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD THAT YET.

OH, I'M SO SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. HE WAS A WONDERFUL GUY.

LONG TIME NO SEE. NEXT UP, ANTONIA. ANTONIA IS PASSING.

AND THAT WAS OUR LAST SPEAKER. CHAIR. ALL RIGHT, SO I PULLED C1 AND C2 OFF OF CONSENT.

IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS THAT WERE PULLED? NO, CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE. CHAIR KELSTROM.

YES. COULD I JUST MAKE A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT CIRCLE OF FRIENDS? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. FIRST, THANK YOU THOSE OF YOU WHO.

OKAY, I WILL I WILL FOLLOW UP AND SHARE SOMETHING.

THIS HAS BEEN A TOPIC OF ONGOING CONVERSATION AND WE'RE WORKING HARD TO GET THAT BACK ONLINE.

SO I'LL SHARE MORE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, I GUESS. ALL RIGHT.

SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR THE REST OF CONSENT MINUS C1 AND C2.

SECOND. MOTION MADE BY SUPERVISOR LONG SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR CRYE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. PASSES 5-0.

ALL RIGHT, C1 AND C2. THESE WERE SPONSORED BY YOU.

SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. SO WE'LL TAKE C1 FIRST. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT? YES. SO THIS IS WHEN IT COMES TO ELECTIONS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE TALKED ABOUT AND MENTIONED IN PAST CONVERSATIONS WITH SUPERVISOR, CRYE AND OTHERS IS THAT THE PACE AT WHICH A VOTES ARE COUNTED IS A KEY FACTOR IN OUR TRUST OF ELECTIONS.

IF IT TAKES A REALLY LONG TIME AND THINGS CHANGE OVER THE COURSE OF THAT TIME FRAME, THEN WE TEND TO THINK, OH, SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, NEFARIOUS HAPPENED. YOU KNOW, IT GAVE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO SEE HOW MANY VOTES WERE NEEDED, AND THEN THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THOSE VOTES SOME OTHER WAY. AND SO IN MY MIND, PART OF THE THE KEY TO INTEGRITY OF THE ELECTIONS IS HAVING THE VOTE COUNT HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY THAN IT DOES IN CALIFORNIA.

AS MOST OF US KNOW, CALIFORNIA IS REALLY AN OUTLIER ON THAT IN TERMS OF HOW LONG IT TAKES US TO COUNT RELATIVE TO OTHER STATES.

AND, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF THE REASONS WHY ARE RELATED TO STATE POLICIES AROUND HOW ELECTIONS HAPPEN.

SO IN LIGHT OF THE JUNE ELECTION, NOT AS MUCH IN SHASTA COUNTY, BUT IN OTHER PLACES, PARTICULARLY THE LA MAYORAL RACE, WHERE THIS WAS A BIG TOPIC, I HAD SHARED SOMETHING ABOUT THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE DELAY THERE AND THEN THE CHANGE BETWEEN THE NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER THREE FINISHER REALLY CAUSED A LOT OF SKEPTICISM DOWN THERE, AND PERHAPS RIGHTFULLY SO.

AND SO WHEN I SAID THAT SOME SOME PEOPLE HAD REACHED OUT AND SAID, WELL, THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO BILLS GOING THROUGH THE STATE LEGISLATURE THAT WILL HELP SPEED UP ELECTIONS. AND SO HEARD A BIT MORE ABOUT THEM AND SAID, OKAY, THIS, THIS SOUNDS LIKE A STEP FORWARD IN THAT DIRECTION.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I SPONSORED THESE TWO. WHEN IT RELATES TO AB 2604, THIS IS AROUND BASICALLY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY DELAYS ELECTIONS IS IF SOMEBODY VOTES BY MAIL, THEY HAVE TO MATCH THE SIGNATURE ON THE ENVELOPE TO THE SIGNATURE ON FILE.

IF THAT DOESN'T MATCH, THEY HAVE TO REACH OUT AND SEND THEM A FORM TO CURE THAT AND THEN WAIT FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE TO GIVE THEM A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS FOR THAT FORM TO COME BACK IN. THIS WOULD NOT ACTUALLY ALLOW ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT'S ALLOWED ALREADY BECAUSE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO EMAIL THEM TO CURATE. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO USE TEXT BASED SYSTEMS FOR CURING IT.

IT WOULD JUST CREATE A SYSTEM THAT COUNTIES AT THE STATE LEVEL THAT COUNTIES COULD THEN USE TO HELP CURE THESE SIGNATURE

[01:10:01]

MISMATCHES MORE QUICKLY, WHICH WILL HELP WITH A KEY PART OF THAT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I AM SUPPORTING AND IN FAVOR OF THIS SYSTEM BEING IMPLEMENTED AT THE STATE LEVEL SO THAT COUNTIES CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR PLUMMER.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? WE DO CHAIR. WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS IN PERSON.

FIRST UP, SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, FOLLOWED BY CAROL REEVES, THEN ANTONIA.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG WILL PASS.

CAROL REEVES COME ON UP. AFTER CAROL, YOU HAVE ANTONIA, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE.

OKAY, THIS IS IN RELATION TO C1, AND I GUESS BECAUSE I'M A PROPONENT OF FAIR AND TRANSPARENT ELECTIONS, I'M OPPOSED TO THIS BILL THAT WOULD BE GOING THROUGH, BECAUSE WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS WE DO HAVE TO HAVE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION, BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE, AND I HAVE TO CHECK ON THIS, IS THAT I THOUGHT THAT THE PERSON HAD TO BE NOTIFIED AND THEN IN SOME WAY, PERSONALLY VERIFY THEIR SIGNATURE. AND WHAT C1 DOES IS IT, IT GOES AHEAD AND SAYS, GO AHEAD, YOU CAN TEXT, YOU CAN EMAIL, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO AND SAY, THAT'S ME.

AND THAT COULD BE THAT JUST GIVES MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CHEATING FRAUD.

SO I'M OPPOSED TO THAT. AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT C1, SO.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING, RIGHT? C1. OKAY. I'LL BE BACK AGAIN.

NEXT UP, ANTONIA. OKAY. MR. PLUMMER, YOU SPONSOR THIS? ARE YOU ARE YOU SO AWARE HOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY, THE PERSON, THE PERSON HIMSELF WITNESSING THAT THAT PERSON IS THE ONE IF YOU CAN TEXT, IF YOU CAN EMAIL, HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU KNOW THAT'S THE PERSON? DO YOU WANT MORE FRAUD? DO YOU WANT MORE BALLOTS NOT BEING SECURE? THAT'S GETTING RID OF OUR VOTES. WE DON'T WANT THAT.

WE'RE TRYING TO GET RID OF THAT. SO NO, I'M NOT SUPPORTING THAT BILL 2604, WHICH TAKES AWAY THE PROCESS OF KNOWING WHO THE PERSON THAT SIGNED THAT BALLOT.

IF YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PERSON, THERE IS NO SECURITY.

CHECK INTO THAT. THAT'S BOGUS. THANK YOU. CHAIR THAT WAS OUR LAST SPEAKER FOR ITEM C1.

AND THE THREE SPEAKERS WHO JUST SPOKE ON C1 ARE ALSO GOING TO BE SPEAKING ON C2 AS WELL.

SO, SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE A QUICK COMMENT ON SOME OF THE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[CONSENT CALENDAR]

FIRST TODAY AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS, ANY COUNTY CAN DO THE SIGNATURE CURING PROCESS VIA EMAIL AND OR TEXT.

WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS IT WOULD REQUIRE THE STATE TO CREATE A SYSTEM THAT COUNTIES COULD USE.

IT ALSO SAID THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT ANY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE CURING SERVICE ENSURES DATA PRIVACY AND BALLOT SECURITY, AND IT REQUIRES THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO PUBLISH ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE CURING DATA ON ITS WEBSITE.

TWO THINGS THAT ARE CURRENTLY NOT REQUIRED. AND SO CURRENTLY A COUNTY COULD USE THOSE SYSTEMS WITHOUT EITHER OF THOSE STIPULATIONS IN PLACE.

AND SO THIS WOULD ACTUALLY INCREASE THE LEVEL OF SECURITY AND TRANSPARENCY SO THAT WE WOULD KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING THESE SYSTEMS. IF SOMEONE'S USING A SYSTEM, THEY HAVE TO PASS THE STATE STANDARDS IN TERMS OF DATA PRIVACY AND BALLOT SECURITY, SO. ALL RIGHT, SUPERVISOR CRYE. FOR ME PERSONALLY, UNTIL UNTIL THE STATE PAYS US OUR SB 90 DOLLARS AS IT PERTAINS TO ELECTIONS, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 900,000 TO $1 MILLION, I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT THE STATE SAYS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO PUT IN PLACE, AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT. BECAUSE CURRENTLY, RIGHT NOW, IF WE HAVE MORE LAYERS OF GOVERNMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT AND NOT HAVE A CLEAR PATH OF HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE PAID FOR.

AND WE'RE ALREADY OWED, I THINK IT'S ABOUT $1 MILLION.

CORRECT, MISS SHORT? SHE'S NOT IN HER HEAD. YES.

SO I'M NOT SUPPORTING IT BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THE STATE ACTUALLY FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH PAYING FOR WHAT THEY SAY THEY'LL PAY FOR.

WELL, I PULLED THESE. I'LL GET TO YOU SUPERVISOR LONG. I PULLED THESE BECAUSE BASICALLY ANY BILL THAT COMES HAS TO DO WITH VOTING THAT COMES OUT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA. THEY'VE MADE IT SO EASY TO BALLOT HARVEST AND STUFF, DROP BOXES AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

SO ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE, I'M NOT REALLY FOR WHEN IT COMES TO VOTING. SUPERVISOR LONG. THANK YOU,

[01:15:04]

CHAIR. CEO RICKERT, I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOUR OPINION ON THESE PIECES OF LEGISLATION.

YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN SACRAMENTO AND WORKING WITH THE STATE.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR LONG.

I DID LOOK AT THESE. I ALSO ENCOURAGED SUPERVISOR PLUMMER TO REACH OUT TO OUR INCOMING ROV WHO ALSO SUPPORTS THESE.

AND THEY APPEAR TO DO EXACTLY AS SUPERVISOR PLUMMER SUGGESTED AS THEY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECURITY WILL HELP SPEED UP ELECTIONS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THE PROCESS OF CURING THROUGH TEXTING AND SOME OF THOSE THINGS, AND WHAT SAFEGUARDS ARE BUILT IN? I WOULD DEFER TO THE ELECTION AUTHORITIES ON THAT.

IT'S PROBABLY BEYOND THE SCOPE OF MY REVIEW, BUT THERE WAS AN EFFORT TO REACH OUT TO THE INCOMING ROV.

WE DID REVIEW THESE TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION, AND THAT'S THE IMPETUS OF EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE IN OUR RESEARCH, IS THAT THESE WILL IMPROVE THE PROCESS AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECURITY.

THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CRYE, YOU'RE STILL IN THE QUEUE? WELL, YEAH, ONE OTHER THING. I WAS GOING TO ONE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO MENTION IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHEN YOU LOOK AT MEASURE B AND SOME OF THE THINGS IN THERE AND WHAT SHASTA COUNTY SPOKE ABOUT, ABOUT WHAT THEY VALUED IN TERMS OF ELECTION REFORM.

I THINK YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT SOME OF THAT STUFF.

AND I AGREE WITH A LOT OF YOUR COMMENTS. AND I KNOW WITH THE CURRENT SECRETARY OF STATE WEBER.

ANYWAY, I THINK WE DON'T NEED TO BEAT IT UP ANYMORE.

ALL RIGHT. SO SUPERVISOR PLUMMER DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE? YES, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS LETTER OF SUPPORT.

OKAY I WILL SECOND. MOTION IS ON THE TABLE. MOTION TO APPROVE BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER.

SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR LONG. AGAIN, I'M NOT FOR ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

SO WE CAN TAKE. SUPERVISOR KELSTROM JUST TO NOTE THAT THE NEXT ONE, WHICH WE'LL GET TO IN A MINUTE, WAS ACTUALLY YOU KNOW, VOTED ON UNANIMOUSLY BY EVERYONE IN THE SENATE, INCLUDING ALL REPUBLICANS AS WELL.

AND SO THE I THINK THE IDEA THAT THERE CAN BE ANY LEGISLATION ON ELECTIONS FROM THE STATE THAT IS POSITIVE I THINK MIGHT BE YOU KNOW, OVERLOOKING SOME THINGS THAT I THINK THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS RECOGNIZING THAT THEY'RE AN OUTLIER IN THE NATION, AND IT'S CAUSING DOUBT HERE. AND SO I THINK THERE IS SOME EMOTION, EVEN FROM THOSE WHO MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT ELECTIONS.

SO JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. OKAY. CAN YOU CAN YOU COMMENT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE STATE OF COLORADO AND WHAT THAT IMPLEMENTATION LOOKS LIKE? THE. WELL, THE STATE OF COLORADO, I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY OF THE DETAILS, BUT THEY HAVE IMPLEMENTED THE TEXT SYSTEM FOR CURING SIGNATURES AS WELL, AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF COUNTIES, INCLUDING PLACER COUNTY HAS DONE IT HERE IN CALIFORNIA.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL TAKE A ROLL CALL VOTE STARTING WITH SUPERVISOR PLUMMER SINCE HE MADE THE MOTION.

SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. THIS IS C.1, CORRECT? YES.

OKAY. SUPERVISOR CRYE. NO. SUPERVISOR KELSTROM.

NO. SUPERVISOR HARMON? NO. AND SUPERVISOR LONG.

YES. OKAY, FAILS 3 TO 2. LETS, MOVING ON TO C.2.

SUPERVISOR PLUMMER, DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THIS BEFORE WE GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT? SURE.

I'LL JUST BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THIS IS SENATE BILL 1420.

AND WHAT THIS WOULD BASICALLY DO IS WHEN SOMEONE GETS A MAIL IN BALLOT AND THEY AS MANY DO, THEY BRING IT TO A POLLING PLACE. CURRENTLY, THEY TEND TO TURN IT IN AS A MAIL IN BALLOT.

AND THEN TWO THINGS HAPPEN. ONE, THE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION PROCESS HAS TO HAPPEN.

AND SECONDLY, THE ELECTIONS OFFICE HAS TO WAIT.

THEY CAN'T COUNT THAT RIGHT THEN AS THEY DO. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO IN AND VOTE IN PERSON, THEY CAN. IF WE HAD TABULATORS IN THE POLLING PLACES, THEY COULD COUNT THEM, RIGHT? THEN YOU COULD JUST FEED IT RIGHT THROUGH. WELL, WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS, RATHER THAN WHEN I VOTE BY MAIL AND I COME AND I DROP OFF MY MAIL IN BALLOT RATHER THAN JUST DROPPING IT OFF AND IT BEING COUNTED LATER AND HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT EXTRA STEP OF SIGNATURE VERIFICATION, YOU COULD HAVE THE VERIFICATION HAPPEN THERE, AND IT COULD BE TREATED AS AN IN-PERSON BALLOT AND BE COUNTED RIGHT AWAY.

SO IT WILL SPEED UP THAT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHAT HAPPENS IS YOU HAVE THIS HUGE BACKLOG OF PEOPLE WHO DROP OFF THEIR MAIL IN BALLOTS.

TECHNICALLY, COUNTIES ARE ALLOWED TO COUNT THOSE, BUT THIS WOULD JUST STANDARDIZE THAT PROCESS SO THAT AND ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE TO, WHEN THEY COME TO DROP OFF THEIR MAIL IN BALLOT IN PERSON, IT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO HAVE IT COUNTED RIGHT THERE.

SO THEY'RE NOT WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH IT.

SEVEN DAYS LATER, I SEE IT'S COUNTED. IT WOULD BE COUNTED RIGHT THEN. THAT'D BE IF THEY HAD A TABULATOR AT THE LOCATION. YEAH.

IN OUR CASE, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS IT WOULD BE PUT WITH THE IN-PERSON BALLOTS, AND THEN IT WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE CENTRAL OFFICE,

[01:20:04]

AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE COUNTED THAT NIGHT, AS ARE ALL IN-PERSON BALLOTS.

WHICH IS WHAT MY BALLOT WAS DONE THIS LAST ELECTION.

I TOOK IT TO A POLLING PLACE INSTEAD OF DROP IT IN THE DROP BOX.

I DROPPED IT IN A SEALED CONTAINER AND IT WENT BACK AND WAS TABULATED THAT NIGHT.

RIGHT, AND AS I NOTED, COUNTIES ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT CURRENTLY.

WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS BASICALLY HAVE STANDARDS AROUND HOW THAT HAPPENS VERSUS KIND OF IT BEING A LITTLE BIT OF A FREE FOR ALL AND ENCOURAGE MORE COUNTIES TO ENGAGE IN THAT PROCESS. OKAY, WELL, THE SENATE MAY HAVE APPROVED IT UNANIMOUSLY, BUT I'M STILL AGAINST ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM. YEAH. SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, FOLLOWED BY CAROL REEVES, THEN ANTONIA, IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE.

WELL, IT NEVER ENDS. YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS MAKE COMMENTS IN REGARDING THIS ITEM.

AND ALSO YOU MAKE COMMENTS ON C.1 IN REGARDING MEASURE B.

KEVIN CRYE BRINGS THAT UP IN AN EXAMPLE. HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO BRING AN ITEM ABOUT ELECTION? HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE PEOPLE TO TRUST THE SYSTEM? HOW? WHEN YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THE RIGHT THING TO REMOVE CLINT CURTIS.

HOW CAN WE TAKE OUR BALLOTS OR EVEN TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS WHEN CLINT CURTIS IS STILL IN THERE AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE BREAKING THE LAW? HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GAIN THE TRUST OF THE PEOPLE? I DON'T AGREE. SOME OF THE STUFF THAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT TAXING AND ALL THAT, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T VERIFY PEOPLE WHEN SOMEBODY TEXTS, YOU KNOW. AND SO I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT. BUT THE THING IS, IF IT COMES FROM THE STATE, IF IT'S LAW, THEN WE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW THE LAW BECAUSE AS WE KNOW, WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY VIOLATE THE LAW, LIKE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO LAWSUITS, PROBABLY MORE BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE NOT WILLING TO FOLLOW THE LAW.

AND YOU PUT PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO BREAK THE LAW.

SO TO ENFORCE ANYTHING IN THE ELECTION, YOU GOT TO GET RID OF CLINT CURTIS, THE ONE WHO'S COMMITTING THE CRIME IN THE ELECTION.

WE WILL NEVER HAVE ANYBODY IN THERE TO BE ABLE TO TRUST UNTIL WE GET RID OF CLINT CURTIS AND HIS MINIONS, HIS LITTLE PUPPETS. LAURA HOBB AND ALL THEM. WE CAN'T.

SO YOU CAN BRING ALL THE BILLS ALL YOU WANT, BUT ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE HIM TO RUN THE ELECTION INTO NOVEMBER? IS THAT. I'M NOT GOING TO ALLOW THAT. CAROL REEVES, FOLLOWED BY ANTONIA.

CAROL, COME ON UP. OKAY, THIS IS IN RELATION TO C2.

THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THAT FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR, I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH EARLY MAIL IN VOTING AND EARLY VOTING.

AND I GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS JUST LIKE, COME RIGHT BACK DOWN TO IT.

IT'S LIKE TODAY WE ALSO HAVE OUR FIVE. AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH DECLARING THE CERTIFICATION OF OUR ELECTION.

AND AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, MEASURE B, WHICH WAS A BIG PART OF THAT AT LEAST IN MY LIFE, THAT IT WAS PASSED BY 55.9% OF THE POPULATION IN SHASTA COUNTY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE SAYING THAT WE'RE, WE'RE ASKING FOR IS ONE DAY VOTING. AND OF COURSE, THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXCEPTIONS TO THAT RULE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO GET TO THE BALLOT, TO THE PRECINCT, THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE MAIL IN BALLOTS.

BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS JUST THAT THAT WITH EARLY VOTING AND MAIL IN MAIL IN BALLOTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

AND THEN WHEN IMPLEMENTED, MEASURE B, AND IT'S GOING TO BE TEN DAYS AFTER IT'S DECLARED CERTIFIED TODAY, THAT'S GOING TO BE STARTING TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE ELECTIONS OFFICE.

ALREADY CLINT CURTIS, OUR ROV, OUR CURRENT ROV, IS MAKING PLANS TO DO THAT.

AND SO THESE THINGS HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED. AND SO I'M SAYING I WOULD, I WOULD DEFINITELY I DON'T TRUST THE STATE.

I DON'T APPROVE OF THIS BILL. AND I'M SAYING NO ON THAT.

PLEASE. THANK YOU. NEXT UP ANTONIA. AND CHAIR, THIS WILL BE OUR LAST SPEAKER.

AGAIN, MR. PLUMMER SPONSORING SOMETHING THAT IS GOING AGAINST WHAT WE, THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY VOTED IN,

[01:25:06]

WHICH MEASURE B TAKES CARE OF THAT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE TRYING TO GO AROUND IT.

MEASURE B TAKES CARE OF IT. I MEAN, THAT'S A FASTER PROCESS.

SO SURRENDER. YOU NEED TO REALLY LOOK INTO WANTING TRANSPARENCY IN THIS COUNTY.

AND SO I SAY NO ON THIS THIS SENATE BILL 1420.

WE DON'T NEED THE GOVERNMENT AS. ANYWAYS, WE DON'T NEED THAT PROCESS BECAUSE THE BEST THING TO DO IS JUST ALLOW MEASURE B TO TAKE, TAKE HOLD. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR LONG. THANK YOU.

CHAIR. CEO RICKERT. SAME QUESTION I HAD LAST TIME.

CAN YOU RENDER AN OPINION, WAS THE ROV INCOMING CONTACTED FOR AN OPINION? AND WHAT IS THE OPINION OF THE CEO'S OFFICE? CAO.

THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR LONG. AGAIN, WHEN THIS LEGISLATION WAS PRESENTED TO ME, I ENCOURAGED A SUPERVISOR PLUMMER TO REACH OUT TO OUR INCOMING ROV WHO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS SUPPORT FOR THIS. WE DID LOOK AT THE LEGISLATION.

IT DOES SEEM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND SPEED UP THE PROCESS.

AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT, AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST TO WHETHER WE SEND A LETTER OF SUPPORT OR NOT.

THIS IS NOT WHETHER THESE ARE GOING TO PASS OR WE HAVE A VOTE ON THEM.

THIS IS JUST WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO SEND A LETTER OF SUPPORT IN FOR THESE TWO BILLS. SUPERVISOR CRYE. YEAH, AND I JUST WANTED TO MAYBE JUST CLARIFY SOMETHING FOR THE PUBLIC, YOU KNOW AS MUCH AS WE TALK ABOUT PARTISANSHIP, THINGS LIKE THAT, BUT IN THE PAST ONE C C1, 2604.

I MEAN, REPUBLICANS WERE A HARD NO IN THE ASSEMBLY ON THAT.

AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE I KNOW SUPERVISOR PLUMMER ALLUDED TO THAT THE SENATE PASSED THIS THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TO SENATOR DOORLEY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT I DID MESSAGE WITH ASSEMBLYWOMAN HARDWICK ABOUT HER SIDE.

FOR THIS, I REALLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS A, AGAIN, THIS IS, IS NOT ADDRESSING THE REFORM THAT, YOU KNOW, 58% IN DISTRICT FOUR VOTED FOR. IT WAS ACTUALLY HIGHER THAN THE COUNTY AT 55 POINT SOMETHING.

I THINK THIS IS A BAND AID TYPE OF A THING. AGAIN, I THINK EVERYBODY SINCE COVID, GETTING THIS MAIL IN BALLOT IS JUST AN ABOMINATION.

AND I THINK THAT HAS TO ROLL BACK TO WHERE WE GO BACK TO PEOPLE GETTING ABSENTEE BALLOTS THAT THEY REQUEST THOSE.

AND SO I THINK ANY LEGISLATION THAT CEMENTS MORE.

SUPPORT OF ANY TYPE OF BLANKET MAIL IN BALLOT, I THINK IS, IS A STEP IN THE ABSOLUTE WRONG DIRECTION, EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE SAYING HERE AND ON ITS FACE MAKES SENSE.

HOWEVER, I THINK I DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT ANYTHING PERSONALLY THAT DOESN'T ROLL BACK WHAT THE STATE HAS DONE SINCE COVID WITH EVERYBODY JUST GETTING BALLOTS.

SO I'M GOING TO BE A NO FOR THAT REASON. SUPERVISOR LONG.

SUPERVISOR. PLUMMER. COULD YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARD THE LEGISLATURE AND, AND THE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT? AND I SEE THIS AS A POSITIVE BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING CONFIRMATION AT THE IMMEDIATE TIME YOU DROP OFF A MAIL IN BALLOT.

AND I UNDERSTAND SUPERVISOR CRYE RELUCTANCE WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS, BUT THAT IS THE LAW.

AND SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THE BIPARTISAN UNANIMOUS SUPPORT, PLEASE.

YES, THEY I MEAN, THEY HAD TO VOTE IN THE SENATE AND THERE WAS ONE PERSON ABSENT.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, ALL I ALL THE REMAINING MEMBERS VOTED IN FAVOR OF THIS ACROSS BOTH PARTIES.

IN TALKING WITH JOANNA, INCOMING ROV, SHE SAID THAT SHE ACTUALLY IT'S CALLED SIGN SCAN AND GO WAS A PROCESS SHE HELPED CREATE DURING THE 2020 CYCLE IN SHASTA COUNTY, WHICH HAS SINCE SPREAD TO OTHER COUNTIES.

AND REALLY, IT'S TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO HAVE THEIR BALLOTS COUNTED IN PERSON, WHICH IS WHAT MEASURE B AND OTHERS WHO HAVE SPOKEN HAVE SAID. AND SO I THINK THIS IS WE WE DON'T GET TO WRITE THE STATE LEGISLATION.

BUT IF THE STATE TAKES A HALF STEP IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GO, I THINK IT'S GREAT TO ENCOURAGE IT.

AND SO, IN MY MIND, THIS IS A STEP TOWARDS ENCOURAGING MORE BALLOTS TO BE COUNTED IN PERSON, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK MOST PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WANT, AND IT WILL HELP SPEED UP THE ELECTION AND INCREASE SECURITY.

[01:30:02]

SO I THINK WHEN THE STATE DOES THAT, WE SHOULD TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE THAT.

I AGREE WITH YOUR POSITION THAT THIS ACTUALLY GOES TOWARD IMPLEMENTING SOME OF THE VOTERS REQUESTS IN MEASURE B, AND IT ACTUALLY ADDS INTEGRITY. SO THANK YOU.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SENDING THE LETTER OF SUPPORT. AND I WILL SECOND.

OKAY. WE'LL TAKE A ROLL CALL. VOTE AGAIN. MOTION MADE BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER.

SECONDED BY SUPERVISOR LONG. STARTING WITH SUPERVISOR PLUMMER. SUPERVISOR PLUMMER? YES. SUPERVISOR CRYE? NO. SUPERVISOR KELSTROM? NO. SUPERVISOR HARMON? NO. AND SUPERVISOR LONG? YES. OKAY, FAILS 3 TO 2. MOVING ON TO R5. APPROVE A DECLARATION OF ELECTION CERTIFYING THE NOMINATIONS,

[R5 Approve a Declaration of Election certifying the nominations, measures, and persons elected based on the certified results of the June 2, 2026, Statewide Direct Primary Election.]

MEASURES AND PERSONS ELECTED BASED ON THE CERTIFIED RESULTS OF THE JUNE 2ND, 2026 STATEWIDE DIRECT PRIMARY ELECTION.

PATRICK, YOU'RE UP. MORNING CHAIR KELSTROM, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

PATRICK DALY, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST ASSIGNED TO GENERAL GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COUNTY CLERK AND ELECTIONS.

COUNTY, BEFORE I GET STARTED ON THIS, LET ME JUST LET YOU KNOW THIS IS VERY TIME AND DATE SPECIFIC, SO BEAR WITH ME AS I READ THROUGH THIS CALIFORNIA ELECTION CODE SECTION 15372 REQUIRES ELECTION OFFICIALS PREPARE A CERTIFIED STATEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF AN ELECTION AND SUBMIT IT TO THE GOVERNING BODY. WITHIN 30 DAYS OF SAID ELECTION.

THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS PREPARED THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF VOTE SIGNED JULY 2ND, 2026, WITH FINAL RESULTS REPORTS COMPLETED JUNE 26TH OF 2026 FOR THE CANVASS FOR THE JUNE 2ND, 2026 STATEWIDE DIRECT PRIMARY ELECTION AND PROVIDED IT ELECTRONICALLY TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON TUESDAY, JULY 7TH, 2026 AT 10:22 A.M.. INCLUDED IN THE ATTACHMENTS FOR THIS ITEM, YOU WILL FIND THE DECLARATION OF ELECTIONS OUTLINING THE OUTCOMES OF EACH CONTEST VOTED ON, AS WELL AS SIGNED CERTIFICATION OF THE COUNTY CLERK REGISTRAR OF VOTERS.

WE ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THIS DECLARATION OF ELECTION AS PART OF THE BOARD'S MINISTERIAL OBLIGATION.

THANK YOU. I'M AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, PATRICK.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? WE DO CHAIR. WE HAVE THREE SPEAKERS. SAME AS THE LAST COUPLE ITEMS. SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG FIRST, FOLLOWED BY CAROL REEVES, THEN BEV.

IF I CALLED YOUR NAME, PLEASE GET IN QUEUE. SHASTA COUNTY WATCHDOG, COME ON UP.

FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO SAY. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I HAD SOMEBODY SEND ME AN INFORMATION REGARDING THE ELECTION THEM SELLING AND DATABASE TO DOUG FRANK. IF YOU CERTIFY THIS ELECTION, THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, YOU'RE SCREWED NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU GO BECAUSE THEY PUT YOU IN THAT SITUATION, BUT YOU GUYS PUT YOURSELF THERE BECAUSE YOU PICKED THE WRONG PERSON TO RUN THE ELECTION.

AS WE ALL KNOW, IF ONE DAY VOTING THAT WILL ACTUALLY VIOLATE SO MANY CITIZENS RIGHTS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY.

ADA. I THINK IF YOU VOTE, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SEPARATE WHAT HE'S DONE IN THERE? HE'S COMMITTED FRAUD. HE'S COMMITTED FRAUD. HE DID.

THEY DEFRAUDED THE CITIZENS WITH MEASURE B, TELLING THEM IT WAS WHAT AMENDED, AMENDMENT FOR THE CHARTER.

WE WEREN'T EVEN A CHARTER FOR WHEN THEY COLLECTED THOSE SIGNATURES.

LIKE I'VE BEEN SAYING, THEY COLLECTED SIGNATURES.

THEY USE THE SIGNATURES TO PUSH TO TO MAKE SURE IT PASSED.

EVEN WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THEY DIDN'T GET ENOUGH SIGNATURES, THEY FOUND A LOOPHOLE TO BE ABLE TO SAY, WELL, WE CAN'T, WE HAVE TO USE A DIFFERENT FORMULA.

SO THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. SO THIS MEASURE B IS FRAUD FROM THE BEGINNING TO NOW.

SO NOW YOU HAVE TO VOTE. SO IF YOU VOTE AND YOU SUPPORT THIS YOU'RE SCREWED BECAUSE NOW THE RESPONSIBILITY COMES BACK TO YOU.

SO HOW DO YOU SEPARATE THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WON THE ELECTION? HOW DO YOU DO THAT? YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KIND OF TAKE IT APART AND SAY, WELL, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO CERTIFY THIS.

I MEAN, I KNOW YOU HAVE TO, BUT YOU HAVE THE BACKBONE TO SAY, NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CERTIFY CERTAIN THINGS.

BUT NOW YOU PUT YOURSELF IN A SITUATION. NOW YOU GUYS ARE SCREWED.

YOU'RE COMMITTED FRAUD. YOU ARE CAROL, COME ON UP. THIS IS GOING TO BE SHORT AND SWEET.

I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO CERTIFY THE DECLARATION OF ELECTION AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BEV COME ON UP. OKAY. I KNOW IT

[01:35:02]

DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I SAY NCS HAS GIVEN WRITTEN NOTICE, FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS ARE NOT TO BE CERTIFIED.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO NOTIFIED ELECTORS OR NOT TO CERTIFY FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS.

NOW, I'M NOT SAYING THE ELECTION WAS FRAUDULENT, BUT EACH OF YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS, IF THERE WAS ANY FRAUD.

VOTING FOR FRAUDULENT ELECTION IS A FELONY. AND I'M NOT SURE WITH THE VOTER ROLLS BEING DIRTY AND SACRAMENTO BEING ABLE TO CHANGE OUR VOTER ROLLS HOW CAN THE ELECTION BE CLEAN? I'M JUST SAYING, I'M GLAD I'M NOT IN YOUR SHOES.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS ELECTION HAS ALREADY BEEN CERTIFIED.

IT'S A DONE DEAL. THIS IS JUST A MINISTERIAL DUTY FOR THE BOARD TO VOTE TO ACCEPT THE CERTIFICATION.

SO I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DECLARATION OF THE ELECTION RESULTS.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT. SO MOTION MADE BY SUPERVISOR PLUMMER.

SECONDED BY MYSELF. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES 5-0. MOVING ON. RECEIVE AN UPDATE FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER ON COUNTY ISSUES AND CONSIDER ACTION ON SPECIFIC LEGISLATION RELATED TO SHASTA COUNTY'S LEGISLATIVE
