BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

County Administrator Manuel Lopez responded to Supervisor Mow’s question regarding mutual shared services with other counties, particularly when there is an emergency need by other counties. Supervisor Mow informed the Board of a referendum that is being proposed by the League of California Cities as well as CSAC in terms of mandated services.

Supervisor Marenco commented on areas in the county that have been neglected and not cleaned up. He gave background information on the establishment of the Community Corps Program in 1999. Supervisor Marenco expressed his concerns that the intent of the Community Corps Program/inmate work crews was not intended to supplement private enterprise. The program was established to clean up the poor areas in the community. However, he does not feel this is being done. Supervisor Marenco requested a report by November 4 or for the matter to be agendized for the November 18 Board Meeting. Supervisor Gutierrez also echoed Supervisor Marenco’s comments.

Supervisor Ornellas, commented on an item from last week’s agenda that he had pulled for discussion - Item #5- Allocate One Case Manager Position for the Transitional Case Management Program. He stated that he did not have a problem with supporting the position. However, he did have a problem with HIV and HIV positive inmates who have a committed a crime in San Joaquin county and are being paroled into this county, but who may be from outside San Joaquin County. Supervisor Ornellas plans to set up a meeting with Steve Ebert and perhaps Bill Mitchell to discuss this matter further.

County Administrator Manuel Lopez introduced Joseph Chelli, as the new Director of the Human Services Agency. Joe Chelli thanked the Board for their support.
