BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Board Members expressed their concern regarding the City of Tracy submitting a proposal for the VA Clinic.  Chairman Gutierrez inquired if the Board could ask Veterans Service Officer Ron Green to give a report to the Board. County Counsel Terrence Dermody stated that if the Board wished to discuss this matter, a motion should be considered to add it to the agenda.  A motion by Supervisor Mow and a second by Supervisor Ornellas was made to add the matter to the agenda to discuss and receive input from staff.  However, the motion failed. 

Chairman Gutierrez said that the matter would be on an agenda at a later date. 

Supervisor Sieglock stated that the Veterans Service Officer could provide Board Members information in a memorandum.

Supervisor Sieglock expressed his concern about Pardee, Camanche and New Melones Dams and flooding downstream.  He said that maybe it is time to replace Pardee Dam as it is an old structure.  Supervisor Sieglock suggested at this point Public Works and the County Administrator staff should gather information regarding these concerns.

Supervisor Ornellas said that he is seeing trash dumped all over the county.  Supervisor Sieglock  recommended that the Sheriff-Coroner report to the Board on this matter.

 

Board of Supervisors Questions and Comments (continued)

Chairman Gutierrez brought to the attention of the Board that the matter of presenting Certificates to the Mentor Partnership Program Participants had been inadvertently left off the 9/20/05 Board Agenda.  Therefore, the Board could vote to add the item on the agenda or only two Board Members could attend the presentation.  Chairman Gutierrez stated that he would plan to attend.  Supervisor Marenco also said that he would be in attendance.
