I just wanted to uh note I'm really appreciative of AC Health and Behavioral Health team that held a CPEG meeting last week. Um, my chief of staff was able to attend. I know that Supervisor Miley was there, and uh just really want to flag that we are grappling not only with the impacts of HR1, but also uh proposition one, and we are learning specifically from the behavioral health collaborative here in Alameda County, the detrimental impacts of 15,000 patients that could potentially lose uh services, and these are vulnerable community members, not only the community members that are receiving the care, but also the individuals that are providing the care. These are significant impacts. Although I do not sit on health committee, I just want to pledge my support to bring this item back to the full board for further discussion and exploring options for potential bridge funding and solutions. This is truly an all hands on deck moment, not only uh grappling the impacts of uh HR1, but we need to collectively have a conversation here on the board also with respect to proposition one. So um supervisor Miley isn't here, but just really um want to let him know that I led to partner with him and Supervisor Tam that sit on the health committee. Thank you. Thank you. I would like to echo comments made by my colleagues, especially Supervisor Fortunately Bass, recognizing the struggles that we have and our efforts in Dublin.
