All right.
Again, welcome to today's board meeting.
Again, I just want to remind anyone who wishes to address the board is certainly welcome
to do so.
We do have a two minute limit on speaker time and that's in place so that anyone who wishes
to address the board has that opportunity to do so.
And of course, you do have the opportunity to address the board that's on any matter
that is not on our poster to agenda.
And with that, we will go to our first item.
Our first item is public comments related to matters not posted on the agenda.
We do have several speakers signed up this morning.
Our first speaker is Richard Otterstad.
Good morning, board.
I bring to you our county representatives two specific concerns this morning.
First, concerning elections from last year November 5.
The governor, Gavin Newsom, had ordered that no voter ID should be required for voting.
Although this opened the door for many illegal non-citizens to vote and elect our representatives,
which violates both our US and California Constitution's requiring citizenship, this
local board of supervisors as lesser magistrates did not oppose the governor in his unconstitutional
order that compromised our elections integrity, our representative government of we the people
that had elected to, and furthermore allowed our county's certification of an invalid election.
Now when you knowingly failed to uphold your oath of office to uphold the US Constitution
as the highest law of the land, you should realize there are serious penalties, fines, and
even prison terms that when this is investigated, validated, and justice is served, should realize
that.
My second concern in request this morning is that you as our county representatives as lesser
magistrates defy and nullify or not enforce the governor's unlawful, unconstitutional
sanctuary state proclamation for our county.
You represent us not illegals.
This group of new California members has already previously cited to you the severe federal
penalties judgments for knowingly harboring illegals.
You know this, and I'm sure you're aware of the current ongoing federal investigations
into both our prior election issues and the current harboring of illegals.
So please take heed and repent of serving illegals instead of us, the lawful citizens of Sacramento
County.
Thank you.
The next speaker is Michael Bevins.
Hello, county board.
My name is Michael Bevins.
I'm just around out.
I'm in district one of the county.
I'm here to talk today about coming storm, but a vote that's coming your way regarding
as you probably already know, the Sacramento City voted to have a design-bridge proposal
to cross the American River, called the Truxill Bridge.
The design has cars included on the design.
I believe, if I'm understanding, right, that through the second county over the American
River there's a protection of rule of that no infrastructure to be going through the American
River discovery park should be anything beyond active transportation and transit.
So this coming storm that's already started is coming your way.
You're going to have to vote whether to amend that gate to allow cars to come on with bridges
to be allowed with cars or to just uphold what the current law is and say no, you can't
come across with this design.
You must go back to the join board and design a bridge that does meet our criteria with
no cars on the bridge or not my option, but a respectable option is don't build anything
at all.
That's just improve what we do already have.
We have cars that do cross the American River on both sides.
We do have light rail that crosses the American River currently.
The plan for light rail is to go to the airport.
We can easily do that by going over the American River existing and then make a sharp left
turn, go to Truxel and continue on.
Same with the American River bridge, we're adding capacity for cars, but we're also adding
a bike lane.
We can do the same for crossing this river.
So when the vote finally does come to you, please uphold what's currently in law, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Perry Frucci.
Good morning, Sacramento County supervisors.
I come before you today to talk about the proposed Cal Exit bid for California secession.
The Supreme Court has consistently held that secession is not a constitutional right in
Texas versus white 1869 after the Civil War.
The court ruled that secession is not a constitutional right and that the union is
perpetual.
The court stated the constitution looks to an indestructible union composed of indestructible
states.
This proposed measure could also be considered an insurrection and could be made under 18
U.S. code 2383 which states, whoever incites sets on foot, assists or engages in any rebellion
or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof or gives
aid or comfort there too shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years and find up to 250,000
dollars or both and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
Now today what I'm doing is I'm giving you two additional documents in terms of what
I said here.
One is from Jim Fang, CBS San Francisco about the new Cal Exit and also the legislative
analysis office letter to honorable Rob Bonta about it.
So I'll leave copies up here for your perusal.
Thank you for your time.
Sarah Matson.
So I'm going to use thank you.
Good morning.
I'm going to use our overhead.
So you may remember two weeks ago I came and made a proposal regarding the sailor bar
and I want to give a praise report.
Thank you, county supervisors, particularly district three, the supervisor Desmond.
But I think this addresses everybody in the district.
That particular week there were many, I would have to say out cries from the public regarding
that sailor bar open of road to automobile, automobiles and just announced on March 6th
the, it has been paused regional parks.
So is it that the residents spoke and we were listened to, I praise that and hope and
pray that that is the case and the hierarchy of how the county runs is important.
A question that, so I just want to thank you, that's why I'm here today.
So thank you very much.
Question I had regarding that was the announcement from the regional parks say they're going to
review not only the community and their concerns but also to improve the ADA access and a plan.
So I just want to keep encouraging that we use the funding that was provided.
I have asked that question several times about the funding and I was, it hasn't been
able to be answered.
So I just want to share this new entity that's happening in California.
It's New California's Doge and what this is, it's, New California has been conducting
their own investigations for years about the misuse of funds and it's now going to be
official.
Yes, there's this website, you're all going to get a copy of this flyer with a QR code,
I encourage you.
What you see, if it's inappropriate, please report it.
It's the doctrine of the last semester, I just straight that you do so.
So I pray that you follow through.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
God bless you.
And for our supervisors.
Just if you can just give it to the clerk.
Thank you.
What's your name?
West Trinnell.
You can turn on a projector, that'd be nice.
Mooms West Trinnell and I came here about a year and a half ago.
Oh, one place.
Why could easily do that?
Here and a half ago I came here and expressed my dismay on how we were going to
along it was taking to repair Sacramento bar.
The water went bad, the water system went bad and the park just spiraled out of control.
Trees died, there were stumps, there were all kinds of issues.
Those pictures do not even show how bad the park got before it bounced.
So today, basically, year and a half later, this is the way Sacramento bar looks and it
is in American River Parkway Park, not far from Sailor Bar.
This weekend I was down there and on a non-refting weekend there were already 40 cars in the parking
lot.
It was very, very nice to see, a couple of birthday parties going on.
Late last year, the park was rented out several times in its entirety for various events
like weddings and such.
So I just really wanted to come down here and say thank you very much to the commissioners
who have listened to me and my concerns.
Director Bellis and her staff, they're really quite amazing, really appreciate them.
I've been going to their meetings regularly.
I was there when the Sailor Bar thing went down.
It wasn't very that, very pretty.
I thank you to the 50 people who were involved in repairing the park.
And that doesn't include the contractor.
It took a lot of people to repair this park.
And finally, I'd like to thank especially Adrian Guerrero, who basically had to dig up
the entire park to fix the, he had to dig up the entire irrigation system to repair it.
He repaired the park benches.
They put in new barbecues.
The man did an amazing job and I just want to say thank you.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
All right.
Todd Feffer?
There is a sergeant detective who retired from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office in
2013 who has been acting in a threatening and assaultive manner.
On April 11th, 2024, he exited his vehicle and threatened me with physical violence while
I was legally in a crosswalk.
I phoned 911 and reported the assault to the Folsom Police Department.
On August 17th, he made a threatening gesture at my wife and me as he drove past us.
I phoned non-emergency and reported this to Folsom Police.
On October 8th, he ran a red light and drove within inches of hitting me with his vehicle
while I was legally in a crosswalk.
I phoned non-emergency and reported this to FPD.
On October 20th, he ran a red light and drove within inches of hitting me yet again with
his vehicle while I was legally in a crosswalk.
I phoned 911 and reported this to FPD, the assault to FPD.
The retired sergeant detective admitted to running the red light and entering the crosswalk
while pedestrians, my wife and I, were present.
All four of these unlawful actions were recorded on the city's closed caption television
camera.
On November 1st, I observed the sergeant detective driving on my street and when he noticed
me looking at him, made a quick U-turn and sped away in the opposite direction.
I contacted internal affairs, Office of the Inspector General, District Attorney's Office,
and Office of the Undershare of.
None of Lieutenant-Gene Galovich, Kevin Gardner, Tin Ho, or Undershare of Mike Ziegler,
respectively, ever contacted me to learn more about these incidents.
However, Assistant Chief Deputy D.A. Andy Solomon and two investigators came to my home
uninvited just to tell me the sergeant detective would not be charged with a crime.
Moreover, the sergeant detective is yet to receive a traffic citation for numerous violations
of the California Vehicle Code.
Is the sergeant detective who has lived with his wife, one half mile from the Folsom Police
Department for more than 26 years, receiving what the public knows to be professional
courtesy?
The governing body of Folsom to which County Supervisor and Vice Chair Rosario Rodriguez
was a member was fully aware of these assaults.
All abiding tax paying citizens shouldn't have to fear for their safety when walking
in the county while getting exercise and enjoying the outdoors.
Thank you.
Ryan Harris.
All right.
So, today I changed my mind since we have the union director in here.
They said that they were fighting for this, so I'm going to bring before you question
that I'm sure is on both of our minds.
How is your deputy director who is an acting director at the time able to send an email,
heinous email, that saying things such as I'm 50-150 and voluntarily hospitalized, tried
to escape hospitalization, it gets more ludicrous than that.
Anyway, he lied multiple times over and over ten times on me in one email alone, but when
I provide you with this lie, when I provided proof that he lied to him and to you all excluding
you, Miss Margarie, he fired me and you guys promoted him.
I want to give you guys, I was rushing through that to give you guys as much time to answer
as possible.
How was your deputy director who was acting director, able to send emails about me saying things
such as I'm 50-150 and voluntarily hospitalized, tried to escape hospitalization, provided
you guys with proof that that was lies, him with proof, he fired me and you promoted him.
Maybe you guys could look into it and I could ask next time, tried to meet with you guys still
denying me meeting with you so I'm asking here, nothing, no.
All right, well thank you.
And the final speaker, Davie Rodriguez.
Several months ago, I came before this board when this board hired Shelley Willis to shepherd
the arts contracts for the new airport extensions and I warned that she seemed to be violating
the state contractor's license law.
Now since then, I have been in contact with the board and they kind of agreed with me,
but nevertheless, here we are today, Miss Willis has shepherded three contracts through
that were just signed recently and four artists who are not licensed contractors again.
She has a habit of doing this.
Now I want to remind that state contractors license law is an actual crime when you violated
it's not something that's just frowned upon.
They go out every month the board does and conduct stains every single month and they put
people in handcuffs for doing this precise same thing.
Just enjoy no exemption from this, not a bit.
And recently the board issued this warning and they sent it to several thousand bid awarding
agencies in the state.
I don't understand what the hang up here.
I said last time that these art contracts seems to scramble the propriety portion of the
brains of public bureaucrats and politicians.
They go on all over the place and I'm out there telling them each time that I can find
them.
But I have nonetheless printed up one of these for each one of you for the board.
I've also highlighted the portion of the law that applies here.
I point out that not only can they cite the contractors but they can cite the public
of issues who issued these contracts.
They're loyable for fine.
And these contracts that are forwarded they can be voided because they're illegal.
So I call on the board right now to put an item on the next available agenda to review
these contracts and void them.
Thank you.
These are for you.
That is all of our public comments for off agenda items this morning.
If you would like we can take our boards and commissions nominations at this time.
Let's do that.
However I don't have my vote sheet so hopefully my staff oh I do have my vote sheet.
Okay.
Let's do that.

As was I.
But we will not allow Supervisor Hume to go.

Capital Airshow.
California Capital Airshow Impact Report in 2025.
Preview.
The crew that makes it all happen.
This is the air show tribe.
Good morning.
Thank you so much for allowing us this opportunity to look back a little bit.
So what the nonprofit California Capital Airshow has been up to and what's just ahead of us.
My name is Darcy Brewer.
I have served as the executive director for this organization for a couple of years.
And with me today is our fearless director of operations, and military, and two of our board members.
Felipe Fuentes, who is your appointee to the air show board.
And Steven Clark, who has no choice to serve on the air show board.
So who is the Department of Airports and Cindy Lutz, I'm hanging out with us.
So thank you Cindy for everything.
Felipe.
Good morning.
And thank you again for your confidence in reappointing me to the air show board.
It is a passion of mine.
It is something that I grew up wanting to participate in and to be able to realize that on your behalf or the county is a tremendous honor.
So thank you for that.
Let me tell you a little bit about all of the successes that we're enjoying at the air show.
Highlights for last July's show.
We had over just under 90,000 attendees enjoying this show.
For an unforgettable weekend featuring the U.S. Air Force Thunderboards, the Italian jet team, Fretchi Tricolore, try saying that.
And other world-class performers.
The air show featured the highly anticipated return of the night show.
And in July, that makes a lot of sense.
It was a fantastic show with fireworks, pyrotechnics, a thousand foot wall of fire.
It was all okay for the air field.
It was fine.
And breathtaking aerial performances.
The air show was the first U.S. stop for Fretchi Tricolore's North American tour in over 30 years.
And it happened here in Sacramento.
And the only place in the Western United States to see the full team's performance.
The economic impact, the important piece here for you all in your duty to the county residents is that the air show generated over $7.1 million in economic benefit to the region.
Drawing visitors from across the state.
And equally important, our partners in hospitality, more than 500 local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, event vendors, experience increased revenue from the air show visitors.
And local business partners, including some of the region's largest employers, sponsor our events.
So it was fun for everybody and very productive from an economic perspective.
And the last statistic that is really amazing, 27,749 individual glasses of lemonade were sold at the air show.
Community engagement over 200 acres of exhibits, aircraft displays, including partnerships with Travis Air Force Base, Beale Air Force Base, the California Air National Guard, law enforcement, and of course other sister STEM organizations.
And of course we had a special pop-up museum honoring NATO's 75th anniversary, the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
And more than 1,000 volunteers making the event a success and we can't wait to talk to you about this year's show.
Very good. Thank you.
So we went from July and we're welcoming Blue Angel number 7, one week from today.
So we are very excited to switch it up again.
Going into March 22nd, 23rd, we'll be welcoming back the United States Navy Blue Angels to Sacramento for the first time since 2019.
To say that we are excited would be an understatement, the blue and gold jets are what people really attribute to Air shows to.
If you ask somebody what a jet demonstration is, they would tell you it's the Blue Angels. They rarely know any other airplane.
So we're excited to have them back into Sacramento. They're very excited. This will be their second show of the season.
They open up Air show season this weekend in El Centro. So we're excited to have them back.
With that, we, you know, the Blue Angels are a large piece of it, but we have a very large fun weekend ahead.
We're going back to that traditional show, 9 to 5, 12 to 4 flying.
I can tell you 12 to 4 will be jam packed with flying with only military partners, but civilian partners.
I will say this year we are honoring the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
And we are doing it really big. I think Mr. Surner would be really excited. We have a robust, not that I'm like that old.
Definitely not that you're a member of the board.
But I definitely know you love vintage aircraft and we have a very large gaggle of warbirds joining us.
Not only in the air, but also on the ground and some of these warbirds are priceless.
They are not seen. They're one of one that our wonderful friends have been able to bring out to the show.
So it will be a great time next weekend.
With that, I think, I think, Philippi had mentioned to it, our show is not just about flying.
Commonly, someone thinks about an air show and they just think about the airplanes in the air.
We are really proud of what happens on the ground.
We have a massive event space, a massive festival, as you could say, of things to do on the ground.
Our friends from Travis will have all of their heavies on the ground for you to climb through and meet the service members.
We'll have U2s and T-38s on the ground, UPS on the ground, but that's not all.
We have a massive recruiting footprint. The Nid Navy will have a national asset out there to learn all things Navy.
That's not just an airplane, right? There's lots of other jobs.
And then we have a huge stem and aviation area for kids to get excited about aviation,
but also to learn other aspects, hands on the field for free.
So it's a great family of eight hours. It's definitely worth everybody's chance to come out.
And we hope to see you guys there next weekend.
Number seven, is that Lieutenant Commander Lunchbox?
That is actually, no, it is Goldie.
Gotcha, okay.
He actually is a Marine, and so he is very much ready to come tear up the airspace.
All right, very good.
Yeah, Lunchbox is number eight. And for the record, I did ask for an aircraft carrier because Matthew are confident we did the wrong.
So I think it's really important in the excitement that we talk about of next weekend is really important,
but the mission of the California Capitol Air Show extends far beyond the Glitzenden glamour of a weekend.
And for the hardworking team on staff, as well as the board of directors, it's much more than just a weekend event.
And so really in the last couple of moments that we have in front of you, just want to talk about what that impact is and what that really means for us.
And since the inception, it really of late, the California Capitol Air Show, what it has done for this community has had over $600,000 with the scholarships to more than 276 students.
And those students are now attending 36 colleges across 14 states.
And recently, we've got a vocational training and career certificate training as well.
Those are jobs that are being created in STEM fields that are not just pilots.
So again, we focus a lot on what's in the sky on the weekends, but it's so much more than not.
Not everybody wants to be a pilot.
Some of them want to go on to be scientists, some of them want to go and become, I don't know, airport people.
They want to go on and do other things like that.
So we provide those opportunities, most importantly though,
in the last year more than 3,000 students in this region were engaged in programs,
not just in one weekend.
It's a year-round program.
Additionally, the California capillaries show offers free programs,
education outreach programs that go into underserved youth in our region, in your districts.
Right, so these are students that are getting exposed to aviation and STEM careers via hands-on workshops,
mentorship for mentors, your professionals, getting an opportunity to actually physically get,
see what it looks like and touch aviation and STEM opportunities that they would never get an opportunity to do.
Two of those examples, many of you have actually seen in person, are the destination aviation and ASA Academy.
Those are programs that are held in the summer and opportunity to bring those students out to the airport,
to Mather, in the opportunity to see those and look at those pathways for them,
show them what that future looks like and provide immersive experience.
A couple of those things, and I just think a little bit, we had them in the hangar,
and we were providing, I think we had drone experiences, we had flight simulation out there,
and you can see these young students going around each one of these experiences and just lighting up,
and getting an opportunity that they would never get.
It normally needs to be at home, maybe they're playing a video game, probably playing Fortnite,
like Mike did or whatever.
It's just a unique opportunity that is only possible because of what the California Capital Air Show can do all year long,
not just over the weekend of the air show.
But again, not just youth events as well, but supporting those nonprofits at school.
So we have more than 30 nonprofit partners that we have revenue share partnerships with,
and that those partnerships total more than $80,000 annually.
So when you're out there and you're seeing those folks that are taking care of the parking over the weekend,
they're part of that revenue share program.
So while they're working hard, they're making sure that they're actually getting a little bit back there too.
Additionally, the California Capital Air Show provides thousands of free tickets to Title I schools,
youth groups and veteran organizations, and obviously making sure that we integrate aviation and
STEM-based curriculum into all of our programming throughout the year.
So again, as we wrap up here, and I turn it back over to Darcy, the mission of the California Capital Air Show is all year long.
It's the excitement of the weekend is exciting, and everything that we're going to see next weekend is incredible.
And it's an award-winning air show.
But what we're doing is so much more than just that one weekend, and we thank you so much for that support.
Thank you, Steven.
We're over our time, but I wanted to close with,
without more than an army of more than 1,000 volunteers,
without your support, without the Department of Airports funding and support and all their team members that help us.
And the City of Rancho Grottova on a list of about 100 other supporters.
We wouldn't be in a position like we are today, where we're getting closer and closer to leaving no curious young mind outside the gates.
So thank you for having us today, and thank you for always being so enthusiastic about what we're trying to accomplish with your airport.
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Darcy.
I have a supervisor, Desmond, and the queue, but I'm going to say a few words here to start us off.
First of all, I've had the opportunity now for several years to not just attend the air show, which is always a great experience.
But to really understand what goes on behind the scenes.
So I'm really delighted that the four of you are here to kind of explain that because the general public doesn't really understand that it takes 12 months to pull this off.
And your board is to be commended.
Certainly all the volunteers that make the event such a great success.
And Steven, I'm really glad that you underscored the fact that it's not just an event that the whole region looks forward to every year, but it has this, I would say, even higher purpose, which is really providing resources for our young people to explore careers, and certainly to maybe learn about opportunities in the STEM world.
And so it's just a fantastic all around part of what we do here in Sacramento County and Cindy, thank you for again all the support that comes from our airport system.
This is going to be interesting this year because we're, I think we're going back to the way it was.
Is that right?
In terms of the date.
So we're, you know, we typically over the last few years would look forward to the event in October.
Is it September?
So not only is it a different month this year, it's earlier in the calendar year, but then you have to really consider the fact that this particular event that we're coming up on in a couple of weeks here.
So I'm going to just scramble and do that in short order this year.
And so I'm sure that that took heavy left by everyone, but again, really look forward to seeing everyone out at the air show.
And again, thank you very much.
This is part of our culture here in our region.
And I always look forward to the presentation here in Chambers to really give us the public an opportunity to understand better what you do.
So with that, we'll start with supervisor Desmond.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And I'm sure you'll have several supervisors piling on here.
Thank you for all your work.
This is such an, you know, I'm heartbroken.
I'm going to be missing it this year because it's really wonderful to go out there as a county supervisor with a little bit of swagger when you're at the air show about.
I mean, this is a signature event in Sacramento County.
And we are all, everybody is so proud of it and proud of you and proud of the work you do and proud of the work of all the hundreds of people that it takes to bring this together.
And, you know, obviously the support from from Cindy in our airports is amazing.
And I also love that this year we're going to be taking advantage of the air show to really work on some economic development opportunities.
It's going to be doing a, I'm looking up there, a crystal Beth gig or I can I'm a development director director to use as an opportunity to network and say, look, let us highlight what we're doing in Sacramento County and try to get people interested in doing more business in Sacramento County, whether that's a developer, a business owner or an employer to come locate here because we have amazing things like the California Capitol Air Show.
Felipe, I will take issue with you highlighting all these features of last year's show.
One thing you neglected to mention is the skydiving performance by then share Supervisor Kennedy, which I hope will become a tradition, you know, going forward, you know, maybe not by this chair.
But yes, thank you for all you do and I'm so bummed to miss it Darcy.
I'm so excited to even look in the eye, I feel so horrible about it, but it's going to be wonderful and it's because of the work that you do.
Thank you for those words. Supervisor Rodriguez.
Good morning. I spent 12 years working in Mayther and so on when there was, they would need coverage on Saturdays on the weekends when it was the air show, I would always volunteer to work and watch it and it was always fantastic.
When I went last year and I was there, that was a whole different experience and so I hope that more people are become aware of actually being there and watching the show and seeing some of the planes that you all bring into the area is really remarkable.
And as a native San Francisco, I'm a big fan of the Blue Angels. They are incredibly fantastic.
It is, right? Yeah, fleet week. And so I'm excited to see the Blue Angels here in this Sacramento region. And so, and thank you for all your hard work. I know that a lot goes on behind the scene, so I appreciate the work that you do. Thank you.
Supervisor Hume.
Thank you, chair. You know, Darcy, I think I've told you that because of my personal history with my dad being a fighter pilot that died in the line of duty, I had an bitter aversion to air shows until I got this position.
And now that I've gone back to my realized how foolish I had been for so many years because it's just such a wonderful event. And it's the spectacle of what happens in the sky.
It's the patriotism that you witness on the ground and it's just the exposure to so many amazing people doing amazing things. So thank you for what you do. And I'm going to just work my way down the line.
And I will say even despite that personal history and we have an item on the today's agenda recognizing the 250th anniversary of the Navy. And so I don't want to disrespect my friends from the Navy or my colleague that just gave the Blue Angels praise, but obviously I think of the Thunderbirds when I think of air performance shows.
And Steven, you're right, the work that's done throughout the year and the way that the the air show exists really is a fund razor to fund the programs that open up young minds to the possibilities in aviation and STEM careers in artificial intelligence.
I mean, the caliber of speakers that you that you bring together to engage them in their curiosity is truly fantastic. And then the last thing I'll say is Felipe, in addition to your duties as a board member and counting the lemonade glasses.
If there's a cancellation with the announcer, you could certainly fill in in that role as well. You have a great tone to your voice.
Very good. Again, thank you so much for for being here and giving the brief presentation on what I'm sure will be just a terrific terrific event and looking forward to it.
Thank you.
All right. Next item, please.
Next item on the agenda is our consent calendar items number three through 28. I do have clerk notes on two of the items.
Item number three is authorization to appoint Joseph Angelo as director of personnel services. We have some comments on that as well as public comment.
And item number seven, which is to adopt an ordinance in mending chapter 16.80 16.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.916.116.116.116.152 16.155 and 16.160 of the Sacramento County Code relating to the timing of collection of development impact fees this item.
We have a great item. 98.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.817.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.816.817.817.816.816 Houston.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Chair. I don't wish to pull the item but I did have questions on item number 10.
Item number 10 is contract number 81299 Michigan Bar Road Bridge replacement over the
Cousinness River. Approved the fifth amendment to an agreement with Duberry for professional engineering
services in the amount of $49,430.
Thank you. And while Steven's coming to the podium there, I know that this is just an amendment to the contract and it seems like the previous four amendments have all been extensions of the contract.
So I'm just curious how much work has been completed to date and how far into this pathway we are currently.
Steve White Department of Transportation, Chair, starting the numbers of the board.
We're pretty far along. We've been at this for over 10 years. We've got type selection as complete.
We were here. I don't know the exact date but we have sequel clearance for the bridge as well.
As you know, it's going to be a challenging right away acquisition with the property owner there. He owns both sides of the bridge as an active ranching operation but we're about three quarters of a million dollars into it already.
Okay.
Okay. I'll have some other questions but I'll take them offline. I just wanted to make sure that this we weren't just incurring costs just from expending or excuse me extending the contract that there's actually work being performed as well.
Actually, this amendment speaks to Central Valley flood protection board is actually claiming jurisdiction now which was not the case when the contract was initially let.
So it's really to get through that permitting effort is what this amendment is covering.
Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Great. Any other comments or questions from board members? Seeing none, man clerk, do we have any members of the public that wish to address the board on consent matters?
I'll direct for item number three. That's the authorization to appoint Joseph Angelo as director of personal services as well as staff comments as well from our county executive.
But members of the public. Members of the public. We have Ted Samira.
I hope you're for me a little bit more than the two minutes as I'm up here to speak on behalf of the 3600 county employees in which you know the public police represents.
First I want to start off with some good before I get to the concerns. I met with supervisor Rosario Rodriguez and I appreciate that time it sounds very positive and I know and meeting with the other supervisors we all share the same concerns on safety of the workers and the working conditions and environment.
I appreciate that. I look forward to meeting with you more on that. Also with the hiring of the new DCFS director.
Shelby Boston. I met with her. It was at two hour meeting, which was only scheduled for 30 minutes.
And so I appreciate it with David and Shavon and your selection that sounds very positive on what she's going to bring to DCFS and her putting workers first, which I haven't heard in.
I'm probably the 25 years I've been with the United Public employees in Sacramento County.
So I was here in front of you all a couple years ago when you appointed.
So vestifed out to the director of DPS. I have some concerns then and not with so best I've gone to know him is a very nice fellow.
I appreciate all he's tried to do within that department as I express and I I glad you have many of the department.
I guess heads or directors here within DPS so they can hear it straight from me.
But nothing has changed in the department of personnel services from when we last spoke. It's the same oh same.
What we should not be lost on us here is that our members go to DPS for hope.
And at county where there's little hope to hold on to.
Hope that their issue will be taken serious and be concerned not turned against them when they file the complaint of discrimination or harassment.
It's I can go on and on and I won't because I know you got a full agenda here and I want to respect your time but something has to give.
We're in contract negotiations right now with the welfare and supervised bar unit which is close to 2000 of your employees those are the social workers and the eligibility workers the his is over in department human assistance.
Your big your biggest bar unit next to the sheriff's department.
And the working conditions there. They speak on daily. I mean we talked about the walk in home. Do you want to tangible I brought members to what is that what I need here.
Is it bring members to talk about those tangibles I brought to you all in regards to their experiences that they've had with department of personnel services still today to this day.
Our members are being denied this is one they get denied if the great grandmother passes away because it's not in the contract.
The great grandmother. It's not until we have to make phone calls to get that rectified. We got folks that are being denied pregnancy leave.
Because our our contracts and says something different than their policy but the policy allows it for Christ's allow them within your policy.
Can you conclude please I've been given you an extra minute here something has to give here supervisor.
All right we can classification studies I got one going out since 2019 for FFSTOT or CDS's.
Two minutes thank you for 300 we appreciate that.
Is that include our public speakers that does conclude our public speakers.
Mr. CEO did you want us to go ahead and take a vote then you can have a few comments I would love for you to take the first before I thank you for taking the votes.
Okay if there's no further questions or comments from board members and we've exhausted a list of speakers that wish to address the board on our consent calendar I would entertain a motion.
I'll move the items three through 28 on the consent.
Okay it's been moved and seconded please vote.
Can that item does pass unanimously with the member's president.
Thank you supervisor Surnon thank you to the board for the action on item number three.
As was pointed out earlier item number three was to appoint a new director of general serve our new director of personnel services.
We your point Joseph Joe Angelo as a new director just a little bit of background about Joe before he comes up here and says a couple of words.
He's had at least 13 years of executive level experience with in the human resources area.
He's currently the chief people officer and culture officer at best friends animal society which is an organization that spans 47 states.
He also has had some local experience he was the director of personnel services for not only on Alameda County but prior to that he within Sancta city of San Jose and then prior to that within the city of San Antonio.
His education is quite impressive too he has a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania a master's degree in business administration from the University of Miami and a master's in public administration from Harvard University.
So we're fortunate to have Joe join the county and I'm incredibly excited to bring on his enthusiasm and spirit and and all his energy that he brings with him to the job.
Lastly I would just like to thank Joseph Shea he's held this position for almost a year now I believe as the interim and he's done a fantastic job with his leadership and dedication to Sacramento County and director of personal services.
So with that I'd like to invite Joe up and to say a couple words.
Thank you.
Good morning Honorable members of the board. Thank you for the support and vote today I greatly appreciate the opportunity.
I want to thank David Villanueva, Sylvester Fadal for the opportunity to work in this incredible organization and to the incredible GPS employees some of whom I've met today and some of the department heads I can't wait to get to know everyone and make it a better day for everyone.
Thank you.
Thank you and welcome.
And supervisors as a last note, Sylvester Fadal will be making time on your calendar for you guys to have one on one with Joe.
Very good. Thank you very much.
Okay. Next item please.
Item number 29 is to approve the 2025 neighborhood traffic management program traffic plans.
Okay.
I was like I didn't touch anything.
All right. Good morning, Chair Serna and members of the board.
Thank you for your time today. This is my I'm a long time listener but first time speaker.
My name is Bobby Sedu and I work in the Department of Transportation in the traffic engineering section.
Today I'm here to give a short presentation and request the board to consider the approval of the recommended 2025 N T MP traffic plan for L Reichenwey and U Street and and for the board to direct DOT to proceed with the implementation of this project.
Now let's take a little step back.
So N T MP stands for neighborhood traffic management program.
This started back in 2006 almost 20 years ago.
This program was initiated to assess the speeding issues occurring on residential and minor streets within the county.
N T MP offers a variety of traffic calming devices such as speed bumps, speed tables or advisory speed signs.
This is a great place on the individual characteristics of the street.
Now a little bit background on this project on May 21, 2024, the board approved funding for 20 projects or 20 streets.
Traffic plans were designed for these 20 projects and public outreach was completed to seek neighborhood consensus.
I'll go over a little bit of the overview of the N T MP guidelines.
The projects that have a support rate less than 65% are not qualified for further consideration.
Projects with a support rate between 65% and 75% require board hearing for traffic plan approval, which is why I'm here today.
Projects with a support rate 75% or greater may be constructed without further board action unless a request for board hearing has been filed with the Department of Transportation.
So the current project status of the 20 projects 18 projects had greater than 75% support rate meeting the minimum threshold of 50% responses.
The other two projects received between the 65% and 75% support rate.
These include L Reichenwe in district three and U Street, which is in district four.
In order to move forward with this project, the board would need to approve these two projects.
L Reichenwe is between Los Molinas and Los Sierra Drive, which met 62% for the response rate and a support rate of 72%.
So right below that threshold and U Street is between 24th Street and 28th Street, which also met the response rate of 63%, but it was at 69%.
So right between the 65 and 75 threshold.
Now let's start off with the traffic plan for L Reichenwe, which consisted of reaching out to 29 properties along this segment.
The traffic plan proposes one speed bump in addition with corresponding warning signs based on the geometric constraints and the evaluation of this street.
There's an always stop, L OS Molinas, and there's stop control at Los Sierra.
So we ended up with one speed bump with the associated warning signs.
Now onto the traffic plan for U Street. This consisted of reaching out to 41 properties along this segment.
This traffic plan proposes three speed tables with the addition of corresponding warning signs based on the geometric layout.
This location is adjacent to the Cherry Island soccer complex on the north side.
DOT recommends the approval of L Reichenwe traffic plan and to direct staff to proceed with this implementation.
In addition with the approval of the U Street traffic plan and to direct staff to proceed with implementation.
I'm joined here today with the project manager of the NTMP and my supervisors. I appreciate your time. Thank you.
Thank you, Bobby. Good job for the first time, by the way.
Thank you. Any questions of staff?
Thank you.
I believe that public speakers.
Madam Clerk. We do have several members of the public signed up to speak. The first is Michael Puyianowski.
Good morning.
We use that a lot. We really appreciate the nice foot bridge you guys put in there first.
When they come down 24th Street and they come into that curve, it makes it very dangerous to have your child because you have to walk on the edge of the street right there.
They come around and it's a blind curve and it's really hard to get in and out of the foot trail.
Plus that trail has a lot of people that ride their bikes and they come out and enter the road and have to travel on the road.
We have a lot of joggers and it really makes it nice and I'm glad to see a lot of that in there.
Yeah, if you could just take a look at maybe that one bump a little bit closer to the curve. I'd really appreciate it.
And I thank you very much for herring me. Thank you.
You guys have a wonderful day. You do. Thank you.
Next speaker is Roger and Judy Brown.
Morning, county. Morning. I live right there at the court at the curve and the bike street. The bike trail is across the street from me and I own that property in the county.
You've got a bike trail through it. But anyway, we have speeders that comes around off of 24th and they try it. We live every time we try to go out to the walk with the protestions and stuff.
We almost get hit and my mother lives down the way where the first table they have set up and she's almost 80 years old and she almost got hit.
The other day there was some guy he seemed turkeys and stuff in the road. He said he wants to speed up and hit it and take off.
And I just want to see if you can add on another speed bump in front of my house right there at the curve because I asked the transportation manager I called him is there a code about putting speed bump by the curve and he says no there's not.
And I said, well, can you put a speed bump on front of my house by the curve and extend the signs and add more speed bumps on the other side of the curve because my other neighbor he's right at the curve.
And it's hard for him to get out of his dry ways same as me.
And then I just want to see if you add more and continue with the speed bumps, please because there is a lot of protestions.
Thank you. And my wife is here to add some stuff.
Yeah, and I did just want to add pretty much the same as what he had said. It is a big deal though with that interns and exit to the dry creek parkway trail right there because you know it is a lot of questions in there and kids on bikes.
And high cars and people and we've seen it we live directly across the street from the engine.
So we see a lot of cars fight there at the end of 24th there they've got it blocked off.
Well, there's businesses down there and those people lead there and that is a race track.
They go from there and they go around that curve and shoot down the street that's all just a big race track.
And then if you look also across from where those where they're talking about putting those speed bumps is the soccer park and that's those two big squares is it 12 soccer fields right there.
And so I mean we've been official to them also and then also because we do have coyotes we have deer now.
You know we have the turkeys and our law alone will have five to twenty five well turkeys and our yard at a time and our pastor which is right there on that curve.
And that's why we seem getting hit all the time and we rarely see any highway patrol or county police up there.
The only thing we ever see is Rangers and we love them or appreciative to them because without them we don't know what we do.
So there's just no authority out there except the Rangers to even keep track of that and there are documented deaths on that curve.
Many and that's it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I just want to say that there's been many animals run over people don't care and I just look for people next time being run over.
So we really need some help out there.
That's all I can say is we need the speeders to be stopped.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Nicholas Fisher.
Good morning. Thank you for hearing us today.
I want to start off by thanking the Sacramento County, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, the Sacramento County Parks District, the Parks Rangers for remitting a
decades-long issue with the soccer complex parking that we had on U Street there for a long time.
It used to completely shut down that road for nearly the entire day on Saturday and Sunday.
Anyway, I am here to express my concern and strong objection to the county's proposal to install speed bumps on U Street.
We live on 24 Street which is only accessible by driving down U Street due to the road closures.
The road is closed at Q Street so the only way to enter is through U Street.
As a resident directly impacted by this plan, I believe this measure is both unnecessary and misguided.
There's multiple factors that contribute to the increased traffic and excessive speed, most of which can be resolved by proper zoning enforcement.
The most five, or I'm sorry, the five common zoning and fractions that you'll find on U Street and 24 Street is the, there's commercial businesses with employees reporting to work being run out of residential zone to parcels.
Sorry, I'm a little anxious.
Commercial vehicles driving on residential roads due to those businesses are being stored on residential parcels.
Commercial vehicles are being used as short term rental properties on some of these parcels and recreational vehicles are being inhabited by long term tenants without temporary use or any other type of construction permitting.
There are also frequent use of recreational, I'm sorry, recreational.
There's frequent recreational use of off-road vehicles, so driving up and down 24th in U Street, these vehicles are not registered or licensed to be operated on the roads of California or Sacramento County.
These factors, these factors generate substantial traffic as employees are coming and going from work.
They only achieve the 69% approval rating, which means I'm not the only dissenting party to this plan.
And so in light of these factors, I respectfully urge the board to please look into enforcing these code violations, which would drastically improve the traffic and the people driving and excess speed on these roads.
I'm sorry for going over, thank you for your time.
Thank you.
Your final speakers, Craig Williams.
Board Chair, yeah, thank you very much.
And yeah, I'm here representing my family, it lives on Elvricon Drive, and just wanted to strongly commend staff for all the effort they put into the plan here.
And I've definitely seen lots of speed on Elvricon, and as consequence, I sent my children, I live in a corner of Elvricon, Elvric Grande, and sent my children to learn how to use Elvricon in such a horrific speed trap.
But I just wanted to ask respectfully if staff could consider an additional speed bump closer to a road-granted, just the depography of the area, such that the grade is actually strongest on the west side.
So much of the speed occurs for eastbound traffic, headed towards Lossier.
So I think just the way the plan was developed, I think the speed bump was just set right in the middle between the two stop signs, but I would like to know if there was a speed survey that was done, and if that informed the position of the structure.
So I think that the plan to consider a second speed bump, that would actually mitigate some of those concerns from the grade there on the west side.
So that's all I have.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
That concludes our public speakers.
Thank you.
Okay. Supervisor Desmond.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would ask if staff, maybe thought you were done.
Okay, Luke is coming up to handle this one.
Can you just respond to the requests about the additional speed table or speed bump on LVcon?
Yes.
So LVcon is a department of transportation.
So in response to the LVcon item, that location, as the resident mentioned, is about a thousand foot segment between two control stops, two intersections that have controls, always stop controls or has control stops.
And so when we look at placement of devices, we look at certain spacing in order to reduce the speed.
One of the things that we tried to do is try to balance the needs of emergency services providers and also reducing the speed.
So for that reason, we tried to space devices between 500, 600 feet apart, typically, so that we don't impact the emergency services providers significantly.
So we know that they also have to come into the neighborhoods and attend to emergencies.
And so for that reason, we space them to that distance.
I think like with all of these kind of efforts, we work closely with the residents.
And if we need to or can't make any adjustments to them, we sometimes do.
And so we could take a closer look at that.
But, typically, what I'm saying is that that's the standards that we use.
We're closely with the residents to see if there's any changes that we could make to it.
But typically, when these smaller segments, it's pretty tight, and that's kind of what we keep to.
Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that, Lupin.
Would you please maybe contact with Mr. Williams about this?
Yes, we could do that.
Before we get to Supervisor Rodriguez, Lupin, I want to understand something.
The speed tables that we deploy, are they typically constructed with some cutaways for some of those you've got?
So there's three types of devices that we install.
We install the speed bumps, then we install the speed tables.
And then, as you mentioned, is what we call the speed bumps.
I have the gaps.
The ones with the gaps, we really only install invocations that are primary fire routes.
Because of the same issue, we're trying to find that right balance.
Because when the primary fire routes, we want to delay them the least.
I think the problem with those devices that we've had through the years is that we have to be able to do that.
We've had through the years is that when you start designing the gaps so that the fire engines and the ambulance
and the are able to get through without going over them, the size of that design is really similar to the size of any other vehicle SUV.
And so now what happens is the frustration is there because now you install the speed bump and just normal more in residents are actually straddling it also, which creates additional frustration.
So we try to limit the ones that those types because of that reason.
Good to know. Thank you.
Supervisor Rodriguez.
Good morning, Lupe.
I just want to say that I appreciate the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program.
And there are, I think California is in a position where people are just speeding and in a hurry to get to where they need to and not stopping at stop signs and sometimes blatantly running red lights.
So as I read this, I had some questions about there are areas of our county that have like just serious issues you can tell it is, you know, especially when it's near a school.
So the one concern I had about is how projects are escalated for assessment of speed bumps.
And I'm always cautious because most residents want a speed bump in or close to their area because it does calm traffic down.
So and my concern is there are areas where it is apparent that we do need a speed bump.
But how these projects come escalated through is was the area that I just had a concern.
It was through residential, through residents that submit requests or concerns or complaints about a street.
There's different ways. I think one of the, one of the ways is when people submit 311 requests, either traffic safety concerns or just want an evaluation from our traffic engineering staff to go out there and evaluate it.
And so well, sometimes it's a speeding request, sometimes it's a safety thing. So they come in different ways.
And when we evaluated, we sometimes say, hey, the right option for this street is our NTMP program.
And so then we described to them the way to apply for the program.
And I think the big part of this program is it's resident driven, right?
We need residents to want the devices on the street. And so we asked for a petition of at least 10 residents on the street.
And the reason we asked for that is because sometimes in some locations, speed bumps are controversial.
Some people think that the speed bumps might reduce the property values and other things.
So we want to show that there's some support before moving forward with a process.
And so that's why the reason for the petition.
So the, I guess for me, it's really communicate to the residents.
Because I go to community meetings and I hear quite a bit about, oh, this is an area that we have constant speeders.
And then I'll go drive it. And it's apparent that there are issues there.
So it's really residents submitting their request through 311. And once you see a trend, you guys go check it out.
Yes, well, we'll coordinate directly with the residents, the requesters to kind of inform over the process and kind of give them ideas of what we could do.
Sometimes it's N T N P program, but sometimes it could be some changing of striping or even some additional signs.
So there's different things. Well, you know, the investigation will bring out what could be a benefit to the residents on those streets.
I just look at it as more as are there areas of the county that could use that, you know, more attention.
But when people submit complaints, I get to be want to look at those.
But I just think there are other areas of the county that could use some speed calming.
Thank you.
Yeah, because as you go out to meetings and if there's residents, you could just, you know, send them over to us.
And we could contact folks directly and ask them and inform them of the process.
And we could work with them on it.
Thank you, Lupe.
All right. Thank you. Thank you, Lupe.
Thanks again to the residents who took time out of their schedules to be here and certainly informed the decision.
At this point, I'd look to my colleagues.
Do you need to approve this and direct staff so is there any motion?
I'll move item number 29.
Okay, it's been moved and seconded. Please vote.
And then item passes unanimously.
Very good. Thank you.
Next item, please.
Item number 30 is hearing to determine whether to modify definition of saccharinate area for the purpose of applying the prevailing wage provisions,
prevailing rate provisions of county charter section 63.
Good morning, Chair Sourna and members of the board.
I'm Joseph Shea in terms of personal services director.
I have a brief presentation for you this morning per county charter and ordinance in every odd number of years.
The county is to conduct a hearing to define the saccharinate area for purpose of applying the prevailing wage provisions of the county charter.
The data collected this year suggests there be no changes made to the definition of saccharinate area.
This has been consistent since the ordinance went into effect in 1979.
There have been no changes.
The findings must be considered at a public hearing to be scheduled no earlier than March 1st and no later than March 31st.
I would like to thank the board for the opportunity to be able to recognize the public hearing.
The board is of the hearing was published twice in the Sacramento Bee this month, as was we have noticed the recognized employee organizations regarding the hearing.
Therefore, I respectfully request that you open the hearing, take any testimony and approve the resolution.
This concludes my report and I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Madam Clerk, do we have any members of the public sign up to speak on this matter?
We do know it.
All right, very good.
In that event, I would look for a motion.
Chair, if you could just open and close the public hearing officially.
Open the public hearing, seeing no speakers, close public hearing.
Look for a motion.
Second.
It's all moved.
Second.
It's been moved and second.
Please vote.
In that item, this passed unanimously.
Thank you.
I believe that concludes our business.
That concludes our business.
We have.
Very good.
Do you have closed session, second floor conference room?
So with that, we are adjourned.
Do you have comments?
I do have one.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
That's okay.
Supervisors, thank you for today.
I'm glad we're doing a little early today.
We have a lot of things to do with the public hearing.
We have a lot of things to do with the public hearing.
There are certain dates in our calendar that are special to some people and to others too.
We have March 14th, which is Pi Day, which people enjoy.
Not only this a conference of a circle, but also eating Pi itself.
We also have May 4th, which is for those of you who are Star Wars fans.
May 4th be with you and some of us celebrate that day stronger than others.
February 11, March 1st, March 11th, March 1st, March 11th.
Today we talked a bit about 311.
We thought today would be a great day to highlight the things happening in 311.
This is the 11th year that we have 311.
As you know, 311 is created for non-emergency use.
You can dial 311.
You can also have an email.
In 2024, County 311 took almost 200,000 calls, 11,000 emails, and a variety of other requests
of about 40,000 contacts.
They've closed about 237 calls and dispatched about 36,000 requests to various county departments
for immediate attention.
So I just want to express my appreciation for the team, the 311 team over in D-TAC and
thank them for their contribution to this program.
So just so you know, there's an open house today between 9 and 2, I believe, and you're
all welcome to take a tour of the 311 center if you'd like to go by and stop by.
I think there's some refreshments over there.
So with that, thank you very much.
Great, thank you, David.
Any comments?
I have two requests.
The first one is I would like to request that the county executive look into creating
an ordinance regarding electric bikes and scooters for children so that law enforcement
and the public are clear of what is allowed and what is not allowed for children to use.
Yes, yes, it provides a record.
We'll look into that.
And the second one, I would like to request that the county executive look into bringing
back an ordinance, making camping on private property illegal, similar to what Rancher
Cordoba has passed in 2024.
Okay, we'll look into that also.
Okay, and I just have some acknowledgments.
Sorry, hold on here.
Are you adjourned?
No.
They're just public.
Okay.
The first one I would like to recognize is the cost of roblet high school basketball team
for winning the San Joaquin Section Division for Championship and following it up with their
first playoff one in nearly 60 years.
I'm excited to congratulate LeLette and Stephen Freeman, real-end entrepreneurs and chamber
members on winning the downtown Sacramento Partnerships Calling All Dreamers Competition
for 2025.
Their business, Pitiful Coffee, stood out among a competitive field of applicants earning
them the opportunity to expand into old Sacramento Waterfront this summer with their new Pitiful
Bruce Coffee Anti-Location.
And I would like to recognize Kay Hermenson for receiving the Community Championship, Champion
Award, and recognition of her outstanding dedication to the City of Folsom.
Kay has worked tirelessly to support the Adopted Trail Program, helping recruit volunteers
and sponsors to many nearly 60 miles of trails with over 30 segments now adopted.
That's it.
Great.
Thank you.
Any other comments from board members?
Okay.
Seeing none.
Now.
You're.
