Consent Items: #1 thru 10 - Approved. Mow/Gutierrez/5

Consent Item: #1 – In response to Supervisor Gutierrez’s inquiry,

Roger Speed, Director of Health Care Services gave an update on the trauma plan and indicated that there will be a report this summer. Mr. Speed also stated that the out-of-state travel trip was not mandated but it has information important to the person specifically dealing in the trauma area.

Supervisor Mow commented that financing is the key.

Mr. Speed affirmed that financing is the key and there is nothing that is going to happen unless the county can afford it. The County does need a trauma system plan submitted to the state, however, it may or may not include a trauma center.

Consent #1 (continued) – Supervisor Ornellas asked if there any assurances that an employee on a learning conference is going to stay with the county in order to recover the investment. Mr. Speed said that part of the process in approving any trips is to have an understanding of where the employee is in the organization, and that he is confident in the employee traveling for this specific training and staying with the county.

Supervisor Marenco commented that he reviews the minutes of the San Joaquin Trauma Steering Committee and they are very careful in not specifying the hospital as the trauma center.

Consent Item: #2 - Pulled for discussion. In response to questions by Supervisor Marenco and Supervisor Mow, SJGH Director Steve Ebert gave an explanation of the compensation for the Emergency Room physicians and why didn’t the APEXX Physician Medical Corporation, Inc. provide malpractice insurance.

Consent Item: #6 – Chairman Sieglock announced that this item was

pulled from the agenda by the Public Works Department.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Marenco pointed out two articles that appeared in the 2/25/03 issue of the Stockton Record which stated that Calpine agreed to give about $1 million to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District for projects, such as replacing diesel engines in school buses and tractors with more efficient, cleaner-burning engines. The other article headlined “More Hospitalized as Dust inn San Joaquin County Increases.” Supervisor Marenco stated that he hoped Board Members read both of the articles and understand the action taken by the Board at the 2/18/03 Board Meeting supporting the use of recycled water from Mountain House.

Supervisor Gutierrez reported that there was an incident that occurred at the SJ Health Care Services Mariposa Clinic in southeast Stockton whereby a number of employees felt threatened. He requested that the County Administrator look into the matter and report back to the Board as to what the County can do to protect the employees.

Board of Supervisors Questions and Comments (continued)

Supervisor Gutierrez also reported that he met with all parties for the Asparagus Festival. All interested parties were at the meeting and all agreed to specific guidelines and measures to protect the park. Chairman Sieglock asked if the Docents were going to participate, however, Supervisor Gutierrez did not know.

Supervisor Ornellas informed the Board of an article that appeared in the 2/18/03 issue of the Modesto Bee on the transfer of the Crows Landing Naval Air Station to Stanislaus County. Stanislaus County hopes to develop the property to a business park and an air cargo facility. Supervisor Ornellas stated that he had a recent discussion with Stanislaus County Supervisor Jeff Grover who expressed enthusiasm for this project. The air station has two airstrips, one 7,000 feet long and the other nearly 8,000 feet long. Stanislaus County is going to pursue many of the businesses that will locate in San Joaquin County. Therefore, Supervisor Ornellas requested that the Airport Director submit a business plan outlining budget concerns, recruiting plans, increasing facility use, and timelines for action, etc., and that the Board receive quarterly reports from the Director. Supervisor Ornellas said that he would like to see San Joaquin County take advantage of this opportunity. Chairman Sieglock indicated that the Airport Director is due to report to the Board in March and could include these details in the report.

Chairman Sieglock congratulated Gabe Karam, a Senior Civil Engineer of the County Public Works Department, on being the recipient of the Civil Engineer of the Year Award. Additionally, Chairman Sieglock informed the Board of the meeting that he and the County Administrator had with Senator Machado and Corrections Department Director Ed Alameida.
