BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Ornellas mentioned the good news of Allegiant Airlines beginning service out of the Stockton Metropolitan Airport to Las Vegas.  In this regard, he brought up several concerns regarding the status of new fire safety equipment that the Board previously approved to purchase, including training required for the equipment, and the matter to pursue a grant for new equipment through Congressman Cardoza’s office.  Supervisor Ornellas also wanted an update on the terminal remodeling as Air Mexico wanted to start in 6 months.  Lastly, he stated that  the 5/2/06 Stockton Record Editorial mentioned two Mexican air carriers.  Supervisor Ornellas asked what do they know that we don’t know - is there going to be a second one?  County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that the Airport Director would be giving the Board a report at the Board Meeting of Tuesday, May 9, 2006.

Supervisor Sieglock stated that he read in the Escalon Times that one of the candidates for Sheriff-Coroner is going to promote term limits for the Sheriff next year.  He said that he would rather not wait until next year and would like the matter as a discussion agenda item.  County Counsel Terrence Dermody replied that perhaps the Board would like input from Counsel on the legal liability of term limits for the Sheriff.

Supervisor Gutierrez reported on the peaceful march held on May 1, 2006 through downtown Stockton that was well attended with a cross section of the community.  Supervisor Gutierrez also commented on reading news in the newspaper prior to being informed by a Department Head.
