BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS
Supervisor Ornellas
brought up the matter of the Northern California Women’s Facility. He reported that Sheriff Moore would be
meeting on Thursday, April 5, with various local and state officials concerning
the use of that facility. The Sheriff is
looking at a needs study of utilizing a portion of that facility.
Supervisor Ornellas
stated that he recalled in last year’s budget that $79,000 was approved to hire
an Assistant Airport Director. He asked
if this was ever done. Additionally,
Supervisor Ornellas inquired if anyone replaced Chief of Operations Mike Brooks
who retired last year and if two law enforcement officers were ever hired. County Administrator Manuel Lopez said that
the hiring process of the Assistant Airport Director was just completed three
weeks ago. There is an interested candidate
and an offer is being made to him. He
further stated that with respect to Mike Brooks, his duties have been absorbed
by staff already at the airport.
Chairman Mow stated
that the allocation of the two deputies were designated for rural crime.
Supervisor Ruhstaller
commented on the County/City joint meeting and said that we should move forward
on the
Supervisor Ruhstaller
informed the Board that he and Supervisor Vogel took a recent tour of our
levees. The tour was extremely an eye
opener and informative of how the State is not going to assist us financially
with the improvements that need to be done.
Supervisor Ruhstaller
addressed the concern of child obesity.
He suggested that the school system could do a pilot program based on
the “Curves” workout for a 30-minute session.
Board of
Supervisors Questions and Comments
(continued)
Lastly, Supervisor
Ruhstaller commented that he serves on the Hospital Executive Committee with
Supervisor Gutierrez, and it was not news to him that discussions were held
about the on-going teaching programs at the hospital as well as several other
ideas regarding the on-going debt. He
felt that different ideas were just being explored and that it is healthy to
get everything out on the table.
Supervisor Ruhstaller felt that everyone wants a healthy viable hospital
that is part of the entire county.
Supervisor Gutierrez
commented on the Northern California Women’s Facility. He does not want to see that facility
converted into a men’s facility under the current system of corrections. He
would like to see real reentry programs.
Supervisor Gutierrez informed the Board that he was invited to an
upcoming meeting of the Women’s Facility.
With respect to the “Curves” 30-minute program, he felt that it was an
excellent idea and that Public Health should take the lead on this suggestion.
Supervisor Vogel
wanted to make his colleagues aware that he would not be in attendance at the
April 10 Board Meeting. He hoped that at
the April 17 Board Meeting the matter of his discretionary funds issue with the
Lodi Grape Bowl could be scheduled.
Chairman Mow informed
the Board that a letter has gone out to all of the Mayors of the cities seeking
appointments to the County/City Committee.
Chairman Mow stated that he will ask each Board Member if one of them is
interested in serving on this committee.
He will also ask each of the Board Members of your thoughts of
additional people to be added to the committee.
Chairman Mow commented on options and alternatives regarding jail
shortage issues and a Supervisors committee in terms of dealing with health
care at the hospital which has not met for some time. He is thinking of re-establishing this
Supervisors Committee and seeing which Board Member would be interested in
serving on this committee.
