BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Gutierrez inquired about his request at a previous Board Meeting that the Interim Health Care Services Director or the Interim Mental Health Director report to the Board regarding a recent meeting held at Mental Health to discuss concerns about the ratio of staff/clients.

Supervisor Gutierrez requested clarification of a communication dated 10/8/01 received from the Interim County Administrator regarding the law firm of Kronick, Moskovitz, Tiedemann & Girard and its reference to "release as a potential conflict of interest," and asked if this was a common practice with every firm that the County may retain. The County Administrator and County Counsel confirmed that this is a general practice and meets the rule of professional conduct.

Lastly, Supervisor Gutierrez emphasized his past and continuing concerns of the parking problems on California Street with the Family Support Division, and that the County needs to aggressively tackle this issue as the problem continues to worsen. He informed the Board that he would be meeting with Judy Grimes of the Family Support Division on Thursday, 10/11/01, to discuss and outline issues that the Interim County Administrator and Board can review. The Interim County Administrator indicated that a report would be forthcoming to the Board within a week or two and assured Supervisor Gutierrez that Facilities Management is looking at a number of alternatives to address the issues.

Supervisor Bedford expressed his concern of inadequate drainage off of the Logistics business park that may cause major flooding of the rural roads which would affect thousands of commuters. The Interim County Administrator said that he would have the Interim Public Works Director report back to the Board with a plan to address this matter prior to the rainy season.

Supervisor Mow asked whether or not the County is communicating and working with the proper authorities regarding the current heightened issues of security and safety. The Interim County Administrator informed the Board that the Office of Emergency Services is in continuous contact with the State Office of Emergency Services. He added that the Sheriff's Department is on security alert and the Department Heads are well aware of the issues and he will also discuss the subject at a scheduled Department Heads meeting on 10/11/01. Chairman Marenco indicated that the Sheriff has deputies at the airport.

The second item Supervisor Mow brought to the attention of the Board is the matter of previous Board discussion regarding the distribution of Planning Commissioners and what effect that might have as a result of redistricting. Supervisor Mow said that he would share with Board Members information received from County Counsel in order that this item can be reviewed by the Board in the near future.
