So today we have two advisory committees here.

May I take will for the advisory committee?
Yes, thank you.
Member Lacey?
And member Washburn.
Here.
Member Washburn.
It's President.
You have a quorum for the members of the local advisory committee.
Thank you.
Let me ask if there's any members that would like to provide any introductory statements for the community?
Hearing none, then I'll ask the clerk to read item 1 into the record, please.
I am one as active as the prop 47 local advisory committee discussion of prop 47 grant.
Chief Wari, if I may, I'd like to invite Christavan Lada here to present about the prop 47 grant.
Wonderful. Thank you.
Good morning.
I'm Christavan Lada, Department of Health Services. Good morning, members of the prop 47 advisory committee.
Thank you for taking the time to hear this presentation this morning.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Great.
So again, prop 47 and we can go ahead and move to the second slide here.
Christavan, do you have a clicker right there that should work for you?
Groovy.
A big button.
We'll move you forward.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thanks, Laura.
All right.
So prop 47, as many of you I expect now, as a voter approved initiative from 2014 that reduced certain
following estimates to minors and then redirected the savings from that change in law to
and to other community based activities with a view towards changing the overall just to
take care of the higherел.
Now, this is about the end of all than the long endh works at twice of top option of lease and
at once within our involves and document vaccin for which we all proceed to minors that
early on and as we all proceed to the most vital cesative or yearratus laboratory that
moves from the day to noon.
35 and change of Natalie.
that is targeted again towards taking a different approach
at engaging with our justice involved individuals
and communities.
So we did in fact apply for that grant back in June.
The award was made in October and we did receive
$8 million for the pilot project proposal
that we submitted to the BSEC at that time.
So the general idea for Prop 47 is that the individuals
who are eligible to participate have a history
of mental health challenges, substance use disorder
and or so those are either or both of those are mandatory.
And then so Prop 47 is designed to address
either or both of those issues along
with diversion programs or any accommodation thereof.
So taking that holistic approach, looking at things
like job skills training, working on expungement
and working on legal issues that may
rise as it relates to housing, et cetera,
as well as leveraging our existing resources,
some of which I just mentioned we already have,
you know, with a trauma informed approach,
a regional approach of possible
and with a view towards restorative justice.
So what brought us here, I don't think these statistics
will come as a shock to anyone in this room,
but and we're gonna talk about the population of focus
that we are the target population
that our work has brought us to identify in a minute,
but just by way of background approximately
a third to 38% of incarcerated individuals
are released within 24 hours.
So that's a high number and we'll talk about
why that's relevant in a moment.
50% are released within three days.
Actually I think it's 51% in terms of early to stat.
40% of people released or released between the hours
of 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. 35% are in-house.
Not number fluctuates a little bit,
but that has remained somewhat consistent.
77% of the jail population has some type of mental health
diagnosis, 23% of the jail population
has self-reported substance use disorder,
which emphasis there on self-reported.
So we don't know what we don't know
as it relates to substance use disorder.
CCP advisory focus groups in 2023
indicated that individuals released from custody
would benefit from things like services,
like transportation, housing, employment services,
basic needs and treatment services.
And again, emphasis on we don't know what we don't know.
So one of the goals of our work in this pilot program
is going to be obtaining more data,
useful data to help inform our decision-making
and recommendations as we move forward
with these and other initiatives in the future.
So in terms of the goals and objectives of the proposal
that we set forth to BSCC,
number one is to reduce recidivism and returns to custody.
The idea there being to increase participation
in reentry programs, strengthening our relationships
between service providers for both pre-release
and reentry services,
and then obviously the service recipients.
Two would be to reduce homelessness program participants.
I think it goes without saying that we know
that if someone is experiencing homelessness
then it is difficult to focus on other services
and other things like mental health treatment,
like subty treatment.
So heavy emphasis for us there,
increasing access and participation in mental health
and substance use prevention and treatment services.
Again, the stoutils with our second objective
with view towards increasing access
for sub-subty residential programs
and expanding mentorship programs
for justice involved individuals
as well as providing mental health and subty services.
So moving on with that as our foundation,
when we started meeting as a county
a multidisciplinary way,
rose to the surface for us
is that it's not Prop 47 and a vacuum with our $8 million.
The overall climate and foundation
for justice involved work at this point
is at a state level and down to the local level,
but at a state level is with CaliMJI implementation
which is a very large initiative
that I'm sure you've heard about.
You will continue to hear about it for the foreseeable future.
That is, I would say Prop 47 as a compliment
to the work that we're doing with CaliMJI,
but it became clear to us that we couldn't simply focus
on Prop 47 without also taking a hard look
at where J.I. is now and the work that we're doing
in that arena as well as looking at how we can leverage
Prop 47 funds to fill in the gaps that we know
are likely to exist or will exist with CaliMJI
when that is implemented.
So our timelines are not the same for CaliMJI and Prop 47.
Prop 47 will go first,
but we are working together as a county
and with our community-based organizations
and other community stakeholders
in order to make this a thoughtful
and targeted approach in terms of how we move forward.
So again, Prop 47 is a gap fuller, so to speak.
So why do we need a government structure?
You know, again, given the multidisciplinary
and community holistic approach that both CaliMJI's
involved and Prop 47 seek to build,
it became clear to us that we needed a leadership
that does include members of all of the perspective
and representatives of all of the respective groups
that we need in order to affect this work
and to do it thoughtfully.
We're still in the process of doing that by the way.
At an absolute minimum, CaliMJI's involved
will be an ongoing initiative.
In terms of Prop 47, we certainly hope that it will be.
We hope that this pilot program, we can learn from it.
You know, re-tool where we need to.
And ultimately make it sustainable
so that we can, whether we fold it into our CaliMJI work,
generally, or have a standalone program
that this is work that will guide us
towards successful outcomes for all on an ongoing basis.
And with a view to that,
with a view to that multidisciplinary focus
because it is going to take all of us together,
we have brought together entered departmental.
So from DATES, we've got behavioral health,
we've got a correctional health,
we've got administration,
we've got inter-departmental work going on,
so we're working with Department of Health of Human Assistence,
we're working with Department of Homeless Services
and Housing, and we're working with the Office
of the County Executive.
So, you know, we're really looking to,
and we will be folding in far more partners
as we move forward.
We're still, I want to emphasize
that the kind of the ground level
in terms of building out what this is going to look like.
So at this point, what we have is a J.I. steering committee
that with a view both for CaliMJI and Prop 47.
That is a leadership level committee
that is intended to be the final kind of decision-making body
that makes recommendations in terms of how to move forward,
how to engage with our Board of Supervisors
with your committee with the Office of the County Executive,
et cetera, and then pre-imposed release coordination committees
that are charged with essentially identifying
where we have opportunities, where we might have risks,
where we need to do more research,
and then ultimately collaborating in order
to make recommendations to the steering committee.
I'm going to flip to the next slide here in a moment
and show you what that looks like,
but I do want to highlight for everyone here
that this is the first iteration we expect and hope
that this will change, it will expand, it will be honed
as we move forward with not just Prop 47,
but also the CaliMJI's involved work that we do together.
So just a visual here for the structure,
again, the steering committee, the pre- and release
service coordination committee, post-release
service coordination committee, just for the record,
there's a lot of overlap here,
because a lot of that work does begin,
and a huge amount of it, begins during incarceration,
and then the whole point at much of this work
is that we are doing warm handoffs, linkages,
pre-release planning, et cetera, such that when the release
happens, there's coordination on that end.
Prop 47 is heavily focused on the post-release coordination,
but like I said, it starts during incarceration.
We have challenges identifying quicks
or people who are going to be released
in less than three to five days,
so identifying those people if we can
during a while there in car-strated poses is a great challenge,
but not one that we are ignoring
or hopeful that we can address in any event
from the pre and post-release coordination committees,
we will be having work groups, workshops,
we'll be bringing in other people as well as other
participants and the committees themselves on an as-needed basis,
so that when we know that we're going to take a deep dive
into particular subject matter,
we have the subject matter experts that we need in the room.
So there will be, this is a work in progress,
especially as it relates to the work groups
and any other workshops and whatnot that may happen,
but that is the overall plan for how we are going to
be collaborative in our approach to these,
both of these initiatives, including Prop 47.
So our progress to date on January 7th,
we received Board Approval, retroactive approval
to apply for the grant and to receive the $8 million.
In addition, the Board approved a human services program planner
and administrative services officer,
each of which will be housed in adult correctional health.
So we conducted a multidisciplinary workshop
on January 13th.
It was co-facilitated by myself and our CalAIM consultant
and included leadership and representatives
from Department of Homeless Services and Housing, OCE,
Adult Correctional Health, Behavioral Health, and Admin.
That was a great day, by the way,
and we're looking forward to doing another
where we can include even more of our community partners.
I'm going outreach and community to community-based
organizations and other community stakeholders.
This is in progress.
There will be more.
One of the things that we will be doing when we feel a little bit
more, when we're a little bit further down the line.
For example, it is using these meetings in that respect.
In addition, we,
we have been meeting with the stakeholders and the CBOs,
I should say, with whom we have existing relationships
or have had and recent past as it relates to this work
and who also have relationships with the managed care plans
billing for enhanced care management and community supports
as part of how we plan to leverage the Prop 478
million dollar grant.
And so it is important that we get those contracts
in place as quickly as we can.
But ultimately, we intend to do a public procurement
for both CalAIM, JI work as well as Prop 47 work
that will be more robust and will need to be on a slightly
different timeline due to the fact that CalAIM JI
is such a significantly heavier lift
in terms of getting that implementation over the finish line.
And, you know, we formed our governance structure,
which again, I just want to reiterate,
we really are looking at this as something that will be
ongoing and we want to get it right.
And we understand that we're going to need to make
some adjustments most likely in fine tune as we go
through the process, but this is our vision
for how to get from here to there and do it thoughtfully.
And again, I want to thank you and any guidance you may provide
to us as we go through this process.
If I haven't spoken enough about our safety partners
and I can tell you from listening to myself, I have not.
I do not want anyone in this room to think
that we aren't keenly aware of both us
that relates to our CalAIM JI work in Prop 47
that collaboration is going to be indispensable.
It's necessary and we welcome it.
So we are in the process of working through
and I'm about to ask you your recommendations
in that respect in a moment.
But before I do that, I'll go through the future steps
which are continuing to identify the service gaps.
We largely did that or we spend a lot of time
doing that during our workshop on January 13th.
We are that is a work in progress, particularly
as we develop the referrals and what that system
and what our screening system is going to look like
both in and out of incarceration,
continuing to refine how we talk about our program participants.
I'll give you a specific example here.
I'll give you two actually.
One is that the individuals eligible for Prop 47 funding
need only be charged with a crime.
There need not be any conviction in order for them,
those individuals to be eligible to participate in the program.
Another is that I neither and thus,
this is one of my aha moments that happened not that long ago
where I learned that from Department of Health Services,
homeless services and housing rather,
the definition of homelessness would not capture
anyone who had been incarcerated
because they wouldn't, I believe I'm getting this rate,
if I'm getting this wrong, someone please correct me.
But there's a time limit attached to this
that I won't cite because I'm unsure,
but because they had had housing previously in any event.
So we are, we've hired, or we're working
on hiring program staff.
We will be leveraging the Cal AIM positions
that are going, if the board approves them on March 11th
as when that agenda item goes,
I've spoken about our partnerships
and we'll be leveraging Cal AIM
and any other funding sources we can.
I've spoken about the competitive selection
and other and process that we intend to use in the short term
and then we'll continue with our stakeholder work groups
and monitoring and evaluation.
And with that, again, thank you and I look forward
to any comments or guidance you would like to provide.
Thank you, Ms. Van Lauda.
Van Lauda, correct?
Van Lauda.
Van Lauda.
I'll open it right now for any comments or discussion points
to the committee members.
No, I don't know.
I'm sorry, I can't tell.
You should have seen the request to speak on.
Oh, there we are.
Thank you.
No worries.
Mr. Lutz.
I just wanted to one thank you,
thank you, Krista, thank you, Laura.
This has been as Krista alluded to,
certainly a big lift for us in DHS
and just recognizing the complexities
with building out this program
and targeted effectively $8 million is a good amount of money
but over a period of time
and for some of the services we're doing,
it's still just a small sliver of kind of
a representation of the need.
So us braiding into our CalAim initiative,
I think will really let us stretch these dollars farther
and identify gaps.
And I think, Krista had on it,
but I'll just reiterate to one of the primary objectives
in this recognizing that we've narrowed our population
focus to those people that are,
that are quicks, the reason those are important too
is even if they're medical eligible,
they're in and out so fast
that we can't get determinations done
and medical turned on.
And so this gives us an opportunity
to make sure they don't fall between the cracks.
And importantly,
the goal here is 24-7 linkage.
I'm going back to the stats that Krista highlighted.
We know a good chunk of our inmates
are being released in the middle of the night.
Services are closed, but again, we don't want to lose them
back out into the community.
It represents an opportunity for us to wrap those,
those services around them have a warm connection
at 3 a.m. offer them shelter
and then start to get them engaged with broader services.
So that is another one of the key areas
that we've really honed in on for this program.
Thank you, Director.
Let's, I was, should have for this time.
Looks like I have Ms. Benson.
Yes, thank you.
I just also wanted to thank you for all of your work
on this project and on behalf of the public defenders office.
We are really excited about what this is going to provide
for our clients and we have our 100% support
and whatever, how we can help lift this.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Lieutenant Warren.
I have heard just like yesterday,
I have a measure developing these things
that are involved in planning.
Lee, the reentry teams,
the Real Consumers Correctional Center
and also the operations team at the main jail,
I think you'll find them very helpful in your endeavors.
Great, thank you very much.
Ms. Coutari, yeah, thank you.
Christa and the whole team for your work on this.
I know it was a heavy lift.
I wanted to just go back to a question.
You had asked of this group and see if anyone else
wants to comment.
I think the suggestion to include the reentry teams
is really important and I wonder if anyone else
from other departments feels like there's a space here
for your department to participate.
I also want to acknowledge Miss Benson's work
and the public defenders work that sort of has been
the groundwork that led up to this
because public defenders office was taking a lead role
and in those linkages before.
So just appreciate paving the way for that.
I just wanted to ask your question again to this group
about how else can we engage our justice partners
in these discussions?
Any other comments from the committee?
And my mistake is Chief Warren.
I just want to make that for the record there.
Okay, then I'll ask the clerk if there are any public
comments for agenda one, please.
Madam Chair, we have no public comment for item one.
Chair, can you close the public comments confirming?
Oh, actually, I'm going to close the public comments
confirming that there's no one in the queue.
Correct.
We have no one in the queue and there's no public comment.
We do not do public comment, telephonic public comment
anymore.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Are you ready for item two?
I think we're ready for item two.
Okay, Madam Chair, item two is update on AB 109 Plan 2024 update
and upcoming BSCC submission.
The floor is lost.
So when we, we're going to have our December meeting,
we literally said copy paste to this agenda where it says
upcoming BSCC submission.
That was in December 15th of 2024.
So that should say prior BSCC submission on this agenda.
I did just want to highlight for you.
Again, thank you all for being here today.
Thanks for engaging with us on Prop 47 and so many other topics.
We've got a lot to go through, but you did get the teaser a
couple months ago when you saw your agenda packets there.
As you're all very aware, I would hope.
Last November, Chief Yarra presented to the Board of Supervisors
with our Prop 47 plan 2024, sorry, Prop.
For some, AB 109, what plan did I my own?
Thank you.
AB 109 Plan 2024 update that was approved by the Board.
There were two public commenters at that time.
Those individuals have not attended these meetings,
nor have they attended any CCP advisory board meetings.
So if we see those individuals, we want to encourage them to get
involved in those spaces.
So their comments can be received and heard ahead of when those
decisions are being made by the Board in the future.
In the future, unless there's major substantive changes proposed in our
annual plan updates, instead of having traditional hearing items like we've
done in the past, we'll probably start putting these plan updates on consent
at the Board of Supervisors because so much discussion does happen here.
Happens at our CCP advisory board meetings.
And unless there's something that's revolutionary and life changing in those
plans, we want to be mindful of the Board's time and energy.
So the AB 109 Plan update was submitted to the Board of State and
Community Corrections, the BSEC in December, along with the annual reporting
survey that they require.
In your package, you see the letter that was, you probably don't have them from you,
but your letter that was submitted from the BSEC.
They sent us a letter saying, hey, please fill out the survey every year.
Well, one thing they noted in that letter this past year was that with the
Governor's budget change this past year, AB 109 planning funds are no longer
being provided.
That was $200,000 that counties used to receive to support planning funds.
Chief Yarber before his departure had noted that many chief probation
officers throughout the state are now looking at these surveys and submitting
annual plan updates as essentially unfunded mandates.
And so they are declining to do them.
However, Sacramento County, we still have a reserve that we're drawing from
those planning funds, so we are continuing to do those surveys at this time.
That said, if there's a question that's marked as optional, we're no longer doing it.
So that's our small change into what we've done in terms of our reporting.
And you do have a copy of that report in your materials to date.
That is all that I have from this item.
Yeah, I'll open it up to the committee members for any comments.
Seeing that there's no comments, I'll ask the clerk if there's public comments for agenda item number two.
Madam Chair, we have no public comment for item number two.
Thank you.
I'll ask you if you could read the item three into the record, please.
Yes, item number three is update from Community Corrections Partnership Advisory Board and
possible action to approve work plan to produce AB 109 plan 2025 update.
Laura Falson.
Thank you again.
The Community Corrections Partnership Advisory Board continues to meet on a monthly basis.
The elected leadership for this current cycle is Chair Melinda Avey who you've met before.
And our vice chair is Tiana Hammack who represents social services.
There's a couple of things that the advisory board has been working on.
One, we've been we're in the process and we're almost done of migrating our website.
It's currently been hosted at the probation page under their CCP and
CCP advisory board pages.
We're migrating those to the public safety and justice agency because it really does reflect this larger group
that is involved in these proceedings.
And it's a space that quite frankly I can manage those website updates.
And those one less piece probation has to do one less layer.
We need to work through when we're trying to post relevant information and materials.
So it's an efficiency piece but also making it hopefully a little bit easier to find for
those who are looking for this information for the first time.
So that should be happening hopefully by the end of this week.
And we'll make sure that you have copies of those links of our new website.
And the existing probation pages will remain for some time and we'll redirect to those new locations.
There's a couple other things we're working on.
We're working on a draft of our annual evaluation.
We'll be bringing that to you at your April meeting for your approval.
That is the annual program evaluation that our departments who receive AB 109 funds
will be helping us complete on a quarterly basis.
This was approved in the 2023 annual update which governs the fiscal year 2425 that we're now in.
There were a lot of new data reporting requirements that came into play, quarterly requirements,
and then annual requirements.
And so this evaluation that you'll be approving hopefully in April will determine what that annual evaluation looks like
for those recipient departments.
So that's still a work in progress.
Additionally, as I mentioned, we've been collecting that quarterly data.
So we started sharing that with the advisory board.
I just want to give Kudos to all those departments who do receive AB 109 funds.
It was a big lift for their fiscal teams to coordinate with their operational teams to actually provide the data that we were asking for.
That's Sheriff Probation District Attorney, Public Defender, and Health Services.
And they really stepped up and helped us.
It was a growing pains for a couple of months there.
But I think we've got a pretty good system now and I'm excited to share that data with you once we have
a little bit more of it under our belts.
The quarter two data from 2020, 24 quarter two, which runs through December 31st.
We should have that data here pretty soon.
Those teams are also working hard on developing budget estimates for this coming fiscal year.
And as a reminder to this board are the way we, our process here is our departments will submit saying,
hey, based on what was approved last year, what was funded last year under AB 109, what is it cost to maintain those services at their current level?
So assuming no growth, but we know that there are coalas.
There are other things that influence the cost of hiring a particular person in one year versus the next year.
So we want to understand what that impact is so that our budget team can make the appropriate allocations and can then submit those.
Also want to do be mindful that the last year and likely continuing on into this year.
We are still looking at limited to no growth and not necessarily even receiving our base allocation.
So we've been using our reserves of AB 109 to support that current to continue to sustain our current level of funding.
And at this time we still do have the reserves to do that, but there's likely unlikely a lot of opportunity for growth using AB 109 funds at this time.
The CCPAB has also been working on establishing a standing committee for community engagement.
The CCPAB has had several iterations of a committee that talks about outreach engagement education.
And we realized because ad hoc committees are supposed to be limited duration limited purpose.
If you start doing those a couple of times, it's no longer serving that limited duration and limited purpose.
So they're going to be establishing a standing committee.
The first committee meeting will likely be in April.
The committee members are the four community members from the CCPAB.
So that will be a community driven community led space.
Again, quarterly meetings.
They'll be meeting outside of traditional business hours, which is a criticism the CCPAB has received in the past.
It will also make it so that we can probably make our CCPAB monthly meetings a little bit shorter,
because we're transitioning part of that business to this standing committee on community engagement.
One thing we've run into in the past, both in this room at the CCPAB and other spaces,
is we are so focused on the AB 109 plan.
But there's a lot of interest in justice and justice-related topics and community corrections topics
that aren't specifically related to our plan, that we hear a lot of comments about.
And we want to create a venue for people to actually share that information.
And we can relay it to the appropriate departments and connections,
while recognizing that it isn't necessarily going to be tied directly to our AB1 or 9 plan.
So this is creating a space for those conversations to happen.
That body will also be used to host an annual one of their meetings each year.
We'll be devoted specifically to that annual AB1 or 9 update,
previewing with the public, getting an opportunity to get feedback,
and we'll be promoting those pretty heavily with the county's social media.
So that's a brand new thing.
One of the topics that the CCPAB had previously covered was looking at racial disparities.
That has been transitioned to this new committee.
They'll be having one meeting that's looking at race equity in the justice system and what the interaction is of that.
And we're still formulating what that kind of workshop community meeting is going to look like.
But we strongly encourage members of the public to kind of stay tuned
and pay attention when that meeting does come up.
We want to engage the community as much as possible in here from them.
Next, we have the development of the work plan that you have before you.
Each year, we're very mindful that the goal of the CCPAB is to get you an updated plan.
Every year, make those recommendations so that you can consider them.
That is our goal in our mission known.
Sometimes we need guideposts to help us get there.
So we developed a work plan that sort of keeps us on track.
It's a living document.
It lets us move things and change things.
And it needs to be flexible highlights of the work plan include that we're requesting presentations
from our AB 109 recipient departments for each of the identified service areas
in what we call category B.
That's those eligible expenditures for anyone in the justice system.
The broader population beyond just AB 109 offenders.
We're looking to understand what's funded by AB 109, what's funded elsewhere.
And if there's any planned changes to these programs that would require us to update the AB 109 plan in the future.
We've acknowledged in the past that one of the challenges with the AB 109 plan
is it doesn't paint the whole picture of funding it shows.
We're only talking about what's being funded by AB 109.
And that can leave someone who finds this document to be like,
that's it?
You're only funding these five positions?
No, we're just not telling the rest of the story as to how that's being handled.
General fund or other sources.
So that's something we're really looking to enhance the AB 109 plan with this year.
And getting that information from our departments is really crucial in telling these stories
in a more comprehensive way.
And of course, we'll be continuing to review quarterly and annual data in those CCPAB meetings as well.
Today I am looking for any comments, thoughts, opinions from you.
Also, I am looking for, it would be ideally a motion and a second to approve the work plan
and to allow us to continue to make edits as we need to.
Sorry, that was a lot.
Thank you.
Thank you, Laura.
I think it's really important that we encourage community voice in any process that we can.
So I appreciate that feedback relative to the AB, CCPAB,
and then the subcommittee of that committee.
Hopefully that they'll have some really great ideas that they can bring back to us.
About this time, I'll open it up to the committee members for any other comments, questions, thoughts.
Okay, Claire, I'm going to ask you if there's any public comments for agenda item number three.
We have no public comment.
Okay, at this time, I think I'm going to, I believe, call for a vote on the work plan.
We will need a motion first, too.
Okay, get that vote forward.
Okay, can I have a motion?
We're asking the CCP to approve the work plan.
Member Triplet would approve that motion.
Do I have a second?
I'll second.
I'll solve it.
Sorry, you can.
For clarification, that was a member Triplet and seconded by a member Sullivan.
Correct.
Thank you.
Let's vote.
Members, Vincent?
Yes.
Member Sullivan?
Yes.
Member Brookens?
Yes.
Member Letts?
Yes.
Member Warren?
Yes.
Member Cattari?
Hi.
Member Green?
Yes.
Member Jones?
Yes.
Member Triplet?
Yes.
And Chair Weary?
Yes.
Your motion passes unanimously.
Thank you.
Clerk, will you read item 4 into the record, please?
Yes.
Item 4 is public comment on non-agenda items and we do not have any speaker slips at this time.
So no.
Okay, at this time then we will adjourn our meeting today.
Thank you all for your participation.
Thank you.
You don't want to bang your camel?
