BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Marenco stated that he would like to see a report from the Sheriff regarding the hiring of a specific deputy sheriff from another county, i.e., how the hiring was done and if it was legitimate.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that the Sheriff will have to respond to the Grand Jury, however, he will request that the Sheriff provide the Board a report.

In response to concerns raised by Supervisor Marenco regarding IHSS, County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that he will furnish a report to the Board.

County Administrator Manuel Lopez responded to Supervisor Mow’s request for clarification on Consent Calendar Item #13.

Supervisor Mow expressed that he felt many of the questions raised regarding the hiring of a specific deputy sheriff from another county were answered in the Grand Jury Report.  He asked how individuals could receive a copy of the Grand Jury Report.  Supervisor Ornellas added that maybe there would be less concern if the deputy sheriff was at a desk job.

Supervisor Ornellas expressed his dismay on a recent Supreme Court decision regarding eminent domain.  County Counsel addressed the Board on this matter.

Mr. Robert Wooten came to the podium again to speak.  In response to Mr. Wooten, County Counsel Terrence Dermody stated that when the formal response to the Board is received from the Sheriff, that would be the appropriate time for discussion of this matter.  Chairman Gutierrez asked Mr. Wooten to wait for the response from the Sheriff.  Supervisor Sieglock suggested that Mr. Wooten speak to the new Sheriff and offered to make Mr. Wooten a copy of the Grand Jury Report.

Supervisor Sieglock inquired about a request that Supervisor Ornellas raised several months ago with regard to the Coroners report and asked when will the Board receive the report.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that the Board would receive the report by July 19 or      July 26.

In response to Chairman Gutierrez question regarding ambulance service discussions between the City of Stockton and American Medical Response (AMR), County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that the issue is between AMR and the City of Stockton.  He added that Health Care Services Director Ken Cohen will be coming to the Board on July 12 regarding ambulance services.

Chairman Gutierrez asked when would the Board be receiving a report of Office of Substance Abuse (OSA) employees that are will be laid off and where they are being placed.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez gave a brief update and stated that he would make sure the Board received a report.  Chairman Gutierrez said that he would also like to know the salary that OSA employees would be making if they were moved into other positions.

Chairman Gutierrez suggested that if there were any future Community Development matters that were not lengthy, that they be placed to be heard in the morning of a Board meeting rather than the afternoon.  Board Members concurred.

County Counsel Terrence Dermody announced that there was no “Closed Session: and that the Board would be in recess until 1:30 p.m.
