PUBLIC COMMENT

ToCan Nguyen addressed the Board.

Larry Baker addressed the Board regarding the Beyond Incarceration program at the Jail.  He  introduced Thomas Abdu Salim who developed a program “I want my life back” that he has taken into the prisons.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Ornellas stated that the illegal dumping of garbage in the county areas continues to be a problem.  He inquired if we could plan for an advertisement campaign to let people know that this dumping is illegal.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that this could be accomplished in several arenas as well as it could be undertaken as an assignment for a new Public Information Officer that will be hired in the near future.

Supervisor Ornellas asked if there was any way the Board could get out in front of the issue of the jail expansion rather than waiting for the election of the new Sheriff.  He stated that there is the issue of cost, who is going to pay for it, is it going to be a bond issue the entire county pays for, and the costs for staffing the expansion.  County Administrator stated that the 2006-2007 budget includes a needs assessment cost study.  In addition, the Board will be asked to approve to put in the budget a $16 million dollar proposal as a local match for future expansion.  In response to other questions by Supervisor Ornellas, Mr. Lopez stated that a needs assessment could take place before the end of the calendar year.

Supervisor Mow inquired as to whether the allocated funds for individual Board Members could be used to pay for billboards for an advertisement campaign regarding illegal dumping.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that those funds could be used for this purpose.

Supervisor Gutierrez stated that for the budget hearings he is requesting $200,000 under supplemental funding for the Healthy Smiles program.  Supervisor Gutierrez provided binders to Board Members and staff containing information on the Healthy Smiles program

County Counsel Terrence Dermody announced that there was need for a Closed Session. 

County Counsel Terrence Dermody stated that he was going to advise the Planning Director to postpone the July 6 Planning Commission meeting until July 20 because there would not be time to resolve the appointment issue before July 6.  He explained that you have an ordinance.  To amend the ordinance you have to introduce and waive reading and adopt it at the next one or read the ordinance next week but it doesn’t go into effect for another 30 days after that.  You have appointments that have to be made next week or you have three vacancies.  It would be better to postpone that one until the 18th and get an ordinance in place that gives the Board the authority to make the appointments that they want.
