BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Supervisor Ruhstaller updated the Board on several recent meetings he attended.  One matter of concern was brought to his attention at the Mental Health Advisory Board meeting.  The person in charge of the State Correctional System called the Federal Referee has determined that there are not enough Mental Health professionals in the state prisons.  The Federal Referee has offered a $2,000 a month raise to attract them.  Supervisor Ruhstaller stated that there are six to seven of our 8 employees at the County Jail that have applied for these positions.  He requested that staff bring forward the information to the Board in the next several weeks.   

Supervisor Ruhstaller reported on the last Delta Protection Commission meeting.  The commission voted to send back to Yolo County their Sugar Beet Mill project.   

Board of Supervisors Questions and Comments (continued)

With respect to the Water Education Foundation meeting he attended, Supervisor Ruhstaller pointed out that one of the areas that we need to be aware of is that local land use decisions are being or would like to be preempted by the state.  The state feels that they know how to do things better than we do in our area.  When it concerns the Delta the state feels that they should decide what is the best use of development within our county.

Supervisor Vogel stated that one of the undertones that came up at the Water Education meeting is the issue of the peripheral canal through the Delta, including a discussion from various spectrums of the future of the Delta.    

Supervisor Gutierrez requested that the Chairman consider placing on the agenda for discussion the matter in regards to SJAFCA and levee maintenance issues.

Chairman Mow said that he is the Chair of SJAFCA this year.  The Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA were to come look at the levees in April, however, that has been pushed back to October.  There is a good chance that they will remap certain areas.

Chairman Mow informed the Board that Public Health Director Bill Mitchell recently was the recipient of the Robert Cabral Award at the COG 8th Annual Regional Excellence Awards.
