BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Referring to Georgianna Reichelt’s request from a previous Board meeting for information on the requirements of candidates running for office, Supervisor Marenco indicated that he would make a formal request to obtain the information in a report to the Board. Supervisor Gutierrez stated that at his request, he received a response from the Registrar of Voters citing sections from the California Elections Code. However, he felt that the information provided did not fully answer Ms. Reichelt. Therefore, Supervisor Gutierrez said that he would furnish the Registrar of Voters with the transcribed minutes of that section of the Board meeting in which Ms. Reichelt spoke so that a clear reply could be given to her. Supervisor Gutierrez also suggested that the Registrar of Voters might follow up with the Secretary of State’s office.

In order to prevent a casino being allowed through the “back door” under the current County Ordinance Code, Supervisor Marenco requested staff to look into the matter of including in the County’s Ordinance Code a section that would make it clear to any applicant that a specific zoning request would be required in a zoning change.

Although a very detailed travel report was previously given to the Board for review, Supervisor Marenco requested a more simple travel report list be compiled by department to include name of person(s) traveling, purpose of travel, destination, cost to the county, and cost to any another public agency such as Council of Governments, etc. The County Administrator indicated that rather than re-doing a travel report for a different time period, he would utilize the previous travel report to create a report as the data does not change significantly from year to year. Supervisor Marenco directed that the County Administrator obtain the base figures for the last three years and select one of those years for the detailed information, including government-related agencies.

Supervisor Marenco brought to the attention of the Board two matters regarding Mountain House. In reference to recent staff reports the Board received regarding a contract for Mountain House Fire Services, Supervisor Marenco asked that this matter be placed on a future agenda for a full report to the Board and that the California Department of Forestry, Tracy Rural Fire Department, City of Tracy, and Mountain House staff be invited before any decision is made. On the second matter, Supervisor Marenco referred to a copy of a letter that the Board Members received, addressed to the Community Development Director from the law firm of Remy, Thomas and Moose, in Sacramento, regarding Existing Subsurface Mineral Rights. Supervisor Marenco asked that County Counsel report back to the Board with information as to what this means to Mountain House.

Supervisor Bedford informed the Board that he had attended a meeting on May 20. He reported that the Tracy Rural Fire Department has an existing agreement with the Mountain House Community Services District and both parties want to honor it. However, there is going to be a joint meeting with the City of Tracy on May 21. Supervisor Bedford indicated that he would be attending that meeting. He also stated that he concurs with Supervisor Marenco that all parties should be invited to discuss this matter at a future Board meeting.

Supervisor Gutierrez referred to Consent Calendar #7 for attendance at an out-of-state a conference on Reduction of Food Stamp Error Rates in Springfield, Illinois. The staff report indicated high case loads. It was Supervisor Gutierrez’s understanding that caseloads have gone down. He would like a report on the status of caseloads since the CALWORKS program began to date and how the issues are being addressed.

Another major concern of Supervisor Gutierrez is whether or not those individuals who travel to these conferences are returning back to share and train other staff members. He has been told that this is the case. He has asked in the past to be invited to one of these training sessions, however, to date he has not received any invitation.

Supervisor Gutierrez emphasized that the County Administrator needs to direct his staff to validate information coming before the Board to see that it is accurate and defensible.

Vice Chairman Sieglock asked when staff would be providing the Board more detailed information on the impact to the county with regard to the statistics in light of major reductions such as in MediCal eligibility. The County Administrator indicated that there would be an oral report to the Board on Tuesday’s Board Meeting on May 28, 2002.
