And I assume it'' s kind of at the heart of some of McPherson ' s problems. That'' s, that ' s, I believe it ' s worth the delay. We ' ve waited so lengthy and also that ' s why I ' m just, uh, requested it.I mean, it says a whole lot regarding you for not simply at the period that they stuck with you however the top quality that, uh, that you had and also the reality that several of them that have gone on. I'' ve gone on to 2 exceptionally crucial things, and I believe that states a great deal regarding that you are also as a manager and leader.But I don ' t think it can be overstated sufficient exactly how much you appreciate the region and also the region procedure originating from the region. I mean, I believe that you- some of your success at the state has actually simply been the fact that you originated from an area government framework You understood the needs of areas as well as what our connection with the state is. When I initially jumped on the board, you emphasized the media value of- of creating relationships with area staff, having considerate connections with region personnel. I suggest, you, um, you just like- you simply a class act as well as- and- and you have a- a large public market collection of outcomes behind you um, that the world doesn'' t understand due to the fact that'you ' ve never been somebody that requires to beat your upper body and also allow them know that you did it.

As is discussed, um, he concentrated on populaces that really didn'' t have a voice in the political process. Whether it ' s, uh, foster youngsters or setting, um, or just early, early youth or the operations of our judicial system.And by concentrating on those systems, you'' ve materialized concrete renovations that will not, that will not just see now but we'' ll see for generations ahead.

And also my colleagues have actually detailed a lot of your accomplishments over your tenure, as well as I intend to advise you that even, um, also things that made me put on'' t seem like a success for execut- are, remain in fact successes.

And I'' ll open it for public comment. Anyone that wishes to state something about our assembly participant, please technique the podium.-Well, I was really hoping
the majority of what I needed to claim would have been said now, and also it has. I just such as to chat about an extremely little mini phase of one point Mark did for our little neighborhood in Live Oak as well as I ' d like to just read it so I touch on all the factors. One thing I ' d like to speak concerning our community in Live Oak is in 2009, we developed a small little functioning group of locals to aid the region embrace what was called a trip rental regulation. After many Region hearings, the region approved the ordinance in 2010. The following step was the California Coastal Commission. The opponents of the trip rental statute were well-funded as well as we ' re able to hire prominent lobbyists. Our little neighborhood group was really out suit, yet we went to the hearing in Marin Region before the seaside payment not understanding what was mosting likely to happen. A bit of drama and our hearts were defeating. Some of you might recall that Mark and none of you have stated it, was additionally a participant of the California Coastal Payment during his time below on the Board of Supervisors.We were hopeful of his support yet what happened at the hearing was past our assumptions as Mark does and also all of you have actually mentioned, he listened to every perspective throughout the hearing. Our little community team was berated by speaker after speaker. One also sang God Bless America and aimed to us. Anyways, we endured every one of this, we had no idea what was mosting likely to occur, after that the hearing closed.And I ' ll constantly remember this. Within a few seconds, Mark leaned onward in his chair, made the motion for the seaside commission to authorize the County ' s
trip rental statute. Within seconds, one more participant of the commission seconded the activity, as well as it passed with one voice. After a 2-year procedure in rather of an experience, it was over in a jiffy. Our little community teams at there stunned. We seemed like applauding yet we just left silently. Mark has made a distinction in numerous lives in Santa Cruz Area in California. All I can believe and also state is thank you for your public solution.-Thanks.-Early morning. I ' m delighted to be right here, I ' m Jack Dilles with a Scotts Valley City Council, and also numerous points have been stated regarding setting up participant Stone and he ' s done incredible points as you understand.'And as a Scotts Valley common council participant, I ' m especially indebted to Mark for literally saving Scotts Valley Public Providers in 2019. The city was facing monetary troubles and also the governor had simply vetoed a bill that would have enabled our citizens to elect'on increasing our sales tax.So Mark artistically making use of out-of-the-box concepts, , authored and executed and sustained, , an expense that allowed, that gave some more flexibility, calm the governor and the legislature and that bill passed as well as ended up being regulation.
As a result, we were able to place our tax procedure prior to the citizens to ensure that made a significant distinction in our community and also I ' m very happy for that. My favored Mark congratulatory story pertains to when I saw him in the recent satisfaction ceremony in Santa Cruz where he was, um, he was our a Grand Marshal, uh, being in a convertible cars, wearing a robe', and a crown. And also it was just incredible. I took pleasure in that and what a -what a great thing to be doing.Thank you assembly member Stone for your leadership and for your security of our prone homeowners, our environment, and also our city services, enjoy your next phase whatever that may be.- Thank you, council member Dilles.
-Great morning board, my name is Dominic [faint] I ' m right here on behalf of assembly participant, Robert Rivas, as well as his workplace. We just concern share our warm concerns from the assembly member from-from Robert. For all that assembly member Rock has had the ability to do during his period and also definitely the support that Robert has really felt coming from setting up participant Rock throughout this time around in the legislature.I recognize he talks often of his first year in office when he was trying to relocate a bill forward on Farm employee real estate. The conversations as well as the assistance he received from setting up member Rock implied a lot in relocating that expense forward. However I additionally wish to state as far as personnel, you know, we consider what setting up member Stone did, a lot of his regulations this year, we spoke about a staff unionization expense. People identify that everyone who do the job daily, it was setting up member Stone who ' s been promoting points like that, not just the atmosphere, not simply for those most vulnerable like our foster youth, yet we discussed IDs for undocumented homeowners. They wear ' t really feel left out when they ' re going to apply for solutions and also submitting applications. It ' s points like a ranch worker arranging costs that you essentially saw people march 300 miles to assist get passed.The regulations that setting up participant Stone has pushed onward is nothing brief of phenomenal. As well as I recognize as someone that works right here in our area', his staff has been similarly incredible for Maureen McCarty, Andrew Eberly', Alec Manis, Erica Parker, every one of our staff have really valued the team he ' s had the ability to place with each other because when we came in helping setting up participant Rivas, there were the ones we had to have to transform to. How do we do this? And also they did it likewise that assembly participant Stone performed with dignity, with intelligence, and also with true idea for their neighborhood. So thanks.-Thank you, Mr. [inaudible]-Great morning. My name is John Laird, and I assume that the first person that concerned me as well as stated, you need to run for the Us senate was Mark Stone. I have been teasing him mercilessly concerning the fact that I worked difficult to do it and then he bails. Since that was one of the joys about the last 2 years is working, uh, with him as well as it ' s been nearly twenty years ago.Jeff Almquist, who was an Area Manager, a fantastic [inaudible] was remembered as well as the following morning, the next early morning, he assigns manager Almquist to the bench and also creates an openings in the Board of Supervisors as well as an extremely vital job provided the balance at the time. So I called the governor ' s office and also they stated, “Oh, you
understand we wear ' t believe we ' re mosting likely to be below long sufficient to fill the vacancy” and I was apoplectic over a series of phone calls.Basically, you developed this mess, you will certainly repair this mess. And after that they called me by the end of the week and also stated, the shifts going to take a while and we must have time to do it. And then'I assumed me as well as my large mouth “, I ' ve been doing this and I never had a candidate and also there were 3 superior people that put themselves ahead, however if you speak to Mark, he ' s among those rare individuals in national politics that each time you speak to him, he rises in your estimation.Sometimes the very first time you satisfy people regarding the peak and not with Mark, he really has done that. And also one of the fascinating points is people in Sacramento will recognize we ' re from the very same area and they ' ll say, “Inform me something I put on ' t find out about Mark” as well as I ' ll claim, “He swam the English canal” and they will truly be shocked yet actually tribute to him. As well as I have excellent Joy at the end of that story and saying, “I '
ve been an elected official for over 40 years in Santa Cruz Region and I never had my photo in the Sentinel in a speedo” which happened to Mark after that.And, and also I believe the-the -and it is shown up in these comments the point that, most of us know him and also enjoy “him and also see what he provides for'Santa Cruz Region. As somebody'that saw “him up close in Sacramento, foster children, he chaired the environmental caucus, individuals went to him on key expenses and when I had a difficult expense in the setting up, “I'truly desire to Mark. In 2015, we made a historical modification hurting and suffering advantages after 60 years and also Mark was chaired the Judiciary Committee. He led it out of committee
, that expense wound up making it off the assembly flooring with him providing it as well as the guv finalizing it and also it was a historic modification so individuals that were losing their right of activity because of COVID and people waiting them out, got that appropriate back and it ' s something that Mark simply putting his nose to the grindstone made happen.And I can ' t inform you the number of times in this year since Mark made his news that people have stated to me in Sacramento, “What are we going to do without him on as well as fill out the space?” Whether it ' s seaside problems and also his coastal payment experience, whether it ' s health and wellness as well as human solutions as well as his former chairmanship and also whatever he did or whether it ' s on judiciary and fundamental civil liberties and judicial procedures. Therefore, it is just an event, an incredible occupation.
And also I think we are really fortunate to have had him as our setting up participant as well as despite the fact that, , he is supporting somebody that, uh, uh, if she arrives, “we ' ll have large footwear to fill as well as have a genuine bar to go across over.'I think he ' s supporting her and also she ' s really with the ability of it'yet he will certainly simply really be missed out on.-Thanks, Legislator Laird.-Hey there, my name is Gail Pellerin and also I have had the pleasure of staying in all the districts that Mark Rock has represented from the institution district to the fifth district managers to now the assembly area and also it has actually been an enjoyment and an honor dealing with him over these years.He is definitely a male of stability. He is a tale. The work he ' s performed in Judiciary and foster children and also the setting is excellent.

Simply that he is a plan wonk, that he is somebody that you can depend on, he ' s a male of his word, he ' s obtained fantastic integrity.Certainly, simply, simply such a pleasure and also being familiar with him with the eyes of other people who collaborated with him, and, um, he ' s simply incredible. He ' s been an amazing leader for our area. And also whoever fills up those big shoes that he is leaving behind, I hope you will address their call whenever they call for recommendations and assistance in the process. So thank you all extremely much. -Thanks, Ms. Pellerin. -Greetings board members. Fernando Giraldo, the chief of probation. I just desire to claim a few words and also recognition of setting up participant Rock. He ' s had a substantial impact'on our Juvenile justice system I recognize very well as well as in behalf of The golden state ' s Youth and also family members Adults and my division in the field of probation, I wish to thank him for funding many bills that have actually changed just how we work and also produced a lot better outcomes for those we serve.He ' s clearly paid attention to young people and also families, supports the areas probation [inaudible] the entire state to make these improvements to just how we function. So the landscape of our justice system is permanently transformed. I wish to share a message from [faint], who ' s the executive director of our association, Chief probation policemans of The golden state, and also this what she said. “CPOC has functioned carefully with assembly participant Mark Stone over the years and also partnered on many vital concerns consisting of Continuum of Care reform, the transitional age young people pilot program, juvenile remediation of proficiency problems, as well as a pilot program for kids ' s dilemma continuum solutions. CPOC identified assembly member Stone for his legislative leadership on these problems, as a legislator of the year in 2018.” Thanks.-Thank you, Principal Giraldo. -Greetings, I ' m Nancy Macy, I live in Stone Creek as well as I ' ve had the severe pleasure of presenting Mark a great deal of times due to the fact that he has consistently gone back to the San Lorenzo Valley to speak at the ecological Town Hall, which is an atmosphere, “which is an annual job of the Valley Women ' s Club.It got on Zoom the last time and Mark has come and also consistently offer a report on what ' s occurring at the state level as well as how it affects us, us implying in the San Lorenzo Valley, however obviously Santa Cruz County and so forth. As well as everyone who came and it was normally a Saturday afternoon, a Sunny Saturday afternoon. As well as there were usually 150 individuals there which ' s a big turnout for our little Valley, especially on a Saturday afternoon. We were constantly extremely honored for him to be there as well as he always, individuals love stating I didn ' t know that ' s just how it functioned and in Sacramento.He would give insights into just how it functioned. It was very helpful. He additionally came when the [ faint] youngsters, I call them youngsters. They are youths from across the
United States came as a part of a program to do remediation operate in the San Lorenzo'Valley, and he came as well as they had never been recognized fairly in the same means due to the fact that he offered them recognition from the state of The golden state, a stunning acknowledgement of what they had actually done for our area. And they were, it was like, “Wow, this is actually great. I ' ve been, this is State of The golden state”,'you know? It ' s actually elegant. It ' s obtained the logo design and every little thing on it, to ensure that was truly unique. The point that strikes me as you are making an intro for someone,'you have to do'a little study to find out what they ' ve been doing. And every solitary year, it resembled, “Oh my God, he ' s done so much.” And also the important things that people have actually learned in functioning with Mark, is he has empathy as well as he has an innovative mind that generates solutions.As you stated chair Koenig, the cigarette butts, who understood that you could also create the suggestion of prohibiting cigarette butts, primary, as well as number two, what a big service would be to our horrific issue if we didn ' t even need to pick them all up. That ' s the type of thing and also the innovative job that he did for … -Thank you, Macy.- … uh, the queer youth.I wished to state that one as well. Thanks quite. -Thank you.-Great early morning. My name is Dana McRae. And also Jason Health will certainly never confess this, but Area council ' s, wear ' t constantly welcome attorneys signing up with the Board of Supervisors. It can be a hard connection. Mark ' s initial day in workplace, he involved present himself to me and said, “I can ' t wait to be a client.” Delighted to be on the various other side of the table and I thought to myself, “Well, we ' ll just see regarding that.” But he was real to his word as he constantly is as well as he was such a gent. Which isn ' t to say, he disagreed with whatever that the office did. If he understood that we were working on something difficult that he had competence'in, he would send a short article or say, have you assumed concerning this as well as truthfully, he just made us much better lawyers simply in his peaceful ethical method. However as lots of people have
claimed below, I assume Mark ' s legacy is what he ' s done for young individuals. From his very early days in office, on an institution board to his service kid well-being system renovation preparation here at the county.And then undoubtedly, with, you recognize, the foster treatment reform that he did. The only mistake I ever before made with Mark was informing him I would certainly state yes to anything he ever before asked me to do.” Which ' s exactly how I wound up pedaling with him from San Francisco to Los Angeles on the help cycle and also I presume I must thank him for that but the jury ' s still out.Thank you so much.- Thank you, Ms. McRae. -My name is'Stuart Rosenstein and also I ' ve been lucky enough to function on LGBTQIA problems assisting queer and trans young people. And I ' ve been dealing with Mark for many, several years. I have several tales to share and also it ' s a really humbling hearing regarding all the various other work that he has actually done. But specifically to help gay as well as lesbian as well as bisexual as well as transgender as well as, as well as allied young people in Santa Cruz Region. He'' s done several things as well as he ' s been so simple throughout the entire experience. We had a horrific situation occur in his area, some years earlier, and also to relax the flames, he created beautiful op-ed short articles in the Guard that helped restrain the situation and also he ' s just really simple when you think of him, he simply desires to aid people. Among my favored tales of Mark is we have an annual queer youth leadership honors and also we happen to have had it at Scotts Valley'Senior high school, one year and also he remained in the back where I, we remain in the back and also Mark Rock looked at me and also was listening to all the LGBT young people giving their speeches and Mark claimed, “We require to obtain these kids attached to political issues.I wish to sponsor a table to get them to among the biggest political LGBT dinners in San Jose, and also get them at a young age to be motivated to do even more.” And also those kids currently remain in their 20s and also 30s and also doing excellent work and they commonly will certainly inform me, they will forget the name of'the event however they say, “Oh, that dinner was fantastic. I didn ' t understand the LGBT people were respected in that way.” And also Mark has actually just been so humble whenever I bring them to the table to take a picture, it ' s just the children have a lot joy.What truly inspires however is the parents as well as grandparents when they listened to that Mark is so helpful, it ' s just enjoy and also they obtain psychological when they thank me to give thanks to Mark. I wish to provide a shout-out to Mark ' s group. Mark ' s team is equally enthusiastic to him and also during the pandemic, when I would certainly call Maureen or Tish or any person in his workplace, you can listen to the feeling on the phone.
As well as one of the interesting things is individuals in Sacramento will certainly understand we ' re from the same location as well as they ' ll claim, “Inform me something I wear ' t know regarding Mark” as well as I ' ll say, “He swam the English canal” and they will really be surprised however actually tribute to him. Whether it ' s seaside concerns and his seaside payment experience, whether it ' s health and wellness and human services and his previous chairmanship and also everything he did or whether it ' s on judiciary as well as fundamental judicial processes and also civil legal rights. Just that he is a plan wonk, that he is someone that you can count on, he ' s a male of his word, he ' s obtained excellent integrity.Certainly, simply, just such a satisfaction and obtaining to know him with the eyes of other people that functioned with him, and, , he ' s just incredible. -Good early morning, I ' m Nancy Macy, I live in Stone Creek as well as I ' ve had the severe pleasure of presenting Mark a great deal of times due to the fact that he has actually faithfully returned to the San Lorenzo Valley to speak at the environmental Community Hall, which is an atmosphere, “which is an annual task of the Valley Women ' s Club.It was on Zoom the last time and Mark has actually come and also faithfully give a report on what ' s happening at the state degree and exactly how it impacts us, us indicating in the San Lorenzo Valley, but obviously Santa Cruz Region and so on. As lots of people have actually
claimed right here, I believe Mark ' s legacy is what he ' s done for young people.They cared regarding everyone and they were working so difficult to help people. I'' m really honored to be part of individuals. Thank you, Mark Rock. Thanks. -Thank you, Mr. Rosenstein. -My name is Les Gardner as well as I wanted … to last gentleman, I intended to add something to that. When Mark was initially assigned to the board, he had to compete office immediately. As well as nobody understood him and also there was 5 individuals in the race, 2 common council participants that were far more popular as well as it was a very difficult race, as well as early I told Mark, I said, “” You know, we'' ve got to access the very least 41% in Scotts Valley”” and also the last gentleman was chatting about an incident there, there had actually been a lot of harassing in the institutions here.This is two decades ago. It'' s a much more traditional uh, city at that time. And it was uh, they intended to bring some uh, audio speakers in, uh to resolve that from the gay community. And also , the school board did ask Mark to consider in on it. Currently, he didn'' t have to, uh, he got on the Board of Supervisors. So, it was a college board as well as a city problem And him and I spoke about this, and also I stated, you recognize, you put on ' t have to do that as well as it ' s gon na be very debatable. It ' s gon “na cost you.” Mark said, “I wear ' t care.” He had been in that task 30 “days, however'he claimed, “” I don ' t care.” He claimed, “It ' s the appropriate point to do as well as I'put on ' t treatment what it costs me. I ' m gon na do it.” And he did. And uh, we ' ve, you know, we definitely won that race. But also for us that were servicing the campaign , it, it revealed what the construct from that man was. And for 20 years, I'' ve been close to Mark for twenty years, it'' s constantly been in this way uh, it is always been the issue.What ' s the appropriate thing to do. Not what is the political right thing to do, yet what'' s the right thing to do for my, my constituents and what ' s the best thing to do based on what'' s my ethical compass. Uh, and also he'' s never, never ever uh, uh varied on that particular uh, as well as he ' s never ever also uh, avoided a ballot. Uh, h-h-he could be the only guy, however uh, he constantly elects. Uh, another thing, I was just intended to deal with one point that John claimed about the uh, swim in the English Channel. John and also I uh, went to Monterey to um, [click of the tongue] meet with audio speaker [inaudible] at the time to uh, speak to her, regarding um, [clear the throat] uh, appointing Mark Rock to the coastal commission.And uh, when we entered front of her, there was a whole lot of people in the space that we'' re really for one more candidate uh, uh that, that got on the coast commission that time. Yet the initial thing out of General'' s mouth is, you understand, he swim in seaside compensation. He swam the uh, [chuckles] he swam the, he'' s found the English Network as well as uh, not a, uh, not, not [faint], he ' s gon na obtain him and stated anything else, however, however he swam the English Network and I promise that, that she -it was-she was surprised and also [crosstalk] we spent concerning five minutes.So I might about um, his swimming in the English Channel as well as, as well as, as well as I vouch that that have to have been among the points that, that pressed him over on this area. -Thanks Mr. [faint] All right, I see no one else below in Chambers. Exists any individual on Zoom? -Yes, we have one speaker. [tap audio] -All in customer 1, your microphone is available. – [rustling audio] Marilyn Garett. Hey there everyone.

The area as well as this took 5 years of effort to obtain in [inaudible] Made use of to spray for weeds, [faint] on the roads in the area with summary and you'' ve seen this swath of fatality along the roadway. Um, San Lorenzo Valley Women'' s Club was among the groups that asked for a stop of this Kevin Collins. I bear in mind, Central Water District participants of the neighborhood authorized petition and also lastly Ellen Perry and also Mark Rock embraced a plan that purpose for, I think it was zero pesticide usage, but they quit the springtime of the carcinogenic round-up and that is something I think is really um, commendable and important [pet cat purring] when Mark was on the seaside commission.However, [
. rustling audio] he [inaudible] the relocate to put Verizon 4G and also Tennison on the shore and also this is really harmful to nature and everyone microwave radiation So with some policies, their good other ones are dangerous to the setting similar to this. I do intend to give high praise to Maureen McCarty. She'' s been most valuable over the years [indistinct sound] and without team, we recognize the chosen authorities would be not able to achieve [laughes] rarely anything. Thanks to Maureen.

' ve done.But Mark is the one that has actually been out there. And I simply state thank you for all your solution. I'' m delighted that you ' re gon na be able cease to swim. And also um, perhaps you swim throughout the bay to Monterey. Thank you. -Thank you, Tara. -We run out audio speakers. -All right, well this time around I'' d like to welcome up Assembly Member Stone to claim a few words. -Thank you, Mr. Chair as well as participants and also I assume I'' d like to take this possibility actually to say thank you to you. And to every person who'' s been a component of my'job. It ' s been almost 25 years between Institution Board, Board of Supervisors, Coastal Payment. And also currently, the legislature and I'' ve– I simply can ' t claim sufficient just how much I value the-the voters ' willingness to maintain sending me back to Sacramento, or right into these numerous duties as well as the persistence that, that they have had the self-confidence that the voters have had in me, Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz County, especially the 5th area, as well as in the 29th Assembly District that'' s been, it ' s been an honor absolutely
to serve.But I additionally wish to give thanks to mostly the, the staff who have had the ability to communicate with and whether its team at the College District, personnel in the area, and also every, you know, managers kind of show up once in a while and area team simply needs to maintain soldiering on with whoever appears in whatever issues we take place to bring. In this region, particularly being able to satisfy with personnel as well as obtain to know the departments and also just how points operate, and what the history is was truly amazing. And also every personnel here was so prepared to take a seat and also explain and also chat through and also be [laughes] patient often with the initiatives that we eventually advance. We'' re not constantly, I despise to say this to myself, the best and also the brightest we ' re the ones who obtain elected.And since of that, we need to rely upon team as well as this region is absolutely exceptional in what obtains done. I, I believe my colleagues in the state possibly obtain extremely frustrated with me. Speaking about his, is they discuss what can, they can'' t get done this throughout the state? And I assume I can be really bothersome when I state, “” Well, yes. In Santa Cruz Area because we can do we have actually done as well as we will proceed to do.”” That'' s the means that Santa Cruz Region can function and also it needs to it'' s a tiny sufficient county.It ought to
actually be able to work that well, [clear of the throat] so I value all of it the different degrees, the personnel that I'' ve had the ability to deal with, as well as on my personal team. And also with this, I'' m gon na include my committee staff in the legislature, but the team that I'' ve had– that I ' ve had right here as well as especially all my chiefs of staff for virtually 20 years worth, whether it'' s Susan or Maureen, Rebecca, Craig, Aaron that have actually created, [indistinct sound] truly a an operating team. And the way that, that we'' ve been able to function and also work successfully by having the best individuals, in the appropriate areas, Allison as well as Misha. Misha was Chief Expert for Human Services for 2 years with me as well as Alison, has been eight years, Judiciary Chief Advice and it'' s been definitely exceptional dealing with folks who have assisted directed and also give pathways, as well as understanding to what we need to be functioning on and Maureen has actually been stated here.Maureen '
s been with me because I got on the board right here and also currently my district director. Therefore for all of those folks, [click of the tongue] [free from the throat] the blunders that I need to have made, yet it made, would certainly have made, however didn'' t make due to them, [clear of the throat'] I probably couldn ' t even begin to listing at this moment. Like the most intelligent point any of us can do when we obtain in an elected placement, is to place good individuals in place, listen to them, let them do their tasks, and also make certain that they are equipped to do the best work that they potentially can. One of the reasons we concentrate on constituent service it'' s below because we have a very active constituency.I think my
area office here when I'' m in the legislature, obtains more calls in a day than many of my coworkers obtain in a week, occasionally a month since this is a very engaged constituency and we are all honored with you recognize, it or not chosen officials. We are honored to have a constituency that it, [inhales] that encouraged, that involved, that energetic in what we were doing. They hold us liable. They ensure we are doing what we are intended to be doing. I can'' t thank my personnel in all its components enough for working with me, for training me, for allowing me to do the job that, that we'' ve been able to accomplish. I simply wan na sh– do shout-out to Les Gardner as well.Who '
s been a coach and a close friend and a confidant to me for years and Les I recognize I'' ve pissed you off a few times. [breathes in] [thuds] Yet I hope I'' ve made you happy. I put on'' t assume I ' ve ever embarrassed you. I um, at the very least I wish not via every one of these years. And afterwards to my household, my youngsters, Melissa as well as Byron, who– Your households is this– Those of you in these positions recognize, surrender a whole lot when we take these roles due to the fact that we'' re not there all the time. [rustling noise] We ' re not always able to be there as much as we pursue them every time. Yet my youngsters appreciated what I'' ve done and also they have actually supported me.And after that lastly my better half Cathy. And that'' s an applause line. [rustling noise] Any individual in civil service knows, you have to surrender somewhere as well as having a spouse, a companion in the house to get the slack to do the things that you are unable to do. We might refrain these roles without that type of support as well as help in your home. Kathy I desire to claim thank you.What, whatever distinctions individuals want to lay on me is truly to my team, is actually to my family for allowing me be a component of this and also it ' s been an impressive occupation of nearly 25 years altogether. 5 years in Scotts Valley on the college board, 9 years below at this diocese, and also 10 years in the legislature now, which believe me is plenty. [laughes] Currently, I look ahead to Gail as well as I'' m very delighted to be supporting the next individual to take my role and also I'' ve, [rustling sound] have every confidence that it will certainly be Gail and that it will permit all of you to kind of let me fade behind-the-scenes as well as be forgotten as a result of the work that, that she will be doing that, I have every confidence, so give thanks to you.And I appreciate your recommendation. I value the acknowledgment of the, the job that ' s been done. [breathes in] The staff that I'' ve been able to assemble and work with over the years as well as simply having the ability to work in this atmosphere is actually truly an honor. Thanks. [silence] – [rustling sound] Thanks so much, Setting up Participant Stone and now I have a really nice pronouncement for you right here.
[rustling audio] I can simply get a ballot by the board to formally issue a motion or this pronouncement. – [inaudible] Principal. -Second. -Activity by Manager McPherson and afterwards a second by Supervisor Caput, any additional conversation? Seeing none clerk roll telephone call ballot, please. -Manager Good friend. -Aye. -Coonerty -Aye. -Caput. -Aye -McPherson. -Aye. -And Koenig. -Aye. -Product passes with one voice. – [click audio] Thank you. [click sound] [silence] [silence] [silence] [silence] -All right. The board will currently recess for five minutes and after that we'' ll go back to thing 7. [rustling noise] Thanks [time out] Taking into consideration a record on Recycling and also Strong Waste Long-Term Planning Development. At initial clerk, will you please call the roll? -Manager Good friend? -Right here. -Coonerty? -Below. -Caput? Oh, he'' s preparing. [click audio] [indistinct noise] -McPherson? As well as Koenig. -Here. [indistinct noise] -Okay. Thank you. And also please uh, Make your note as soon as Supervisor Caput rejoins us.Supervisor Coonerty, I believe you have some concerns you wan na ask. -Yeah. Give thanks to, thanks, Mr. Chair. [thuds] My concern was uh, in mention of the team record that um, personnel were launched renegotiation of small hauler agreements just issue short-lived , [faint] authorizations or civil liberties to, to take part in our task. I understand we increased pickups um, ith the Environment-friendly Waste contract, but do you have any type of idea just how many individuals we ' re speaking about? Does they still use these little hauler agreements? And does the hr get to been done? [breathes in] Um, there ' s uh, all the concerns around that problem and it was been uh, and constantly been an issue in an additional area recently.And I wan na make certain um, we ' re not stepping into a new conflict here.'[ sniff]-[ click sound] Uh, just recently, one of our smaller haulers that have actually been grandfathered in simply to run in the San Lorenzo Valley Summit Location. [rustling audio] Um, too particularly um, offer homeowners that where on private roadways, lengthy personal roads of off the primary county preserved roads um, that franchise business, uh, I– [click audio] , was failing to [rustling audio] follow the contract as well as not , making reports and also payments to the area. We, we unfortunately had to terminate them. Um, a great deal of those consumers um, uh, had the ability to most likely to environment-friendly waste, since environment-friendly waste was able to obtain a smaller sized truck that might serve them. Um, some of those customers mosted likely to our other uh, little hauler franchise, uh, summit trash or top waste as well as reusing services.Um, this is kind of a concern were, were getting to out to those affected the former Coons ' [] clients um, [click sound] guaranteeing them that they require to get waste solution per our Universal Solution Regulation. As well as that uh, cremates recovery uh, is the primary hauler there. The unique franchise business and also , , Green Waste has assured us that they can with the smaller vehicle access all those exclusive roads. So, , I, I recognize there ' s more outreach as well as education and also, , communication needed, but um, you know, we are working on that.-So, do we understand how numerous potentially affected consumers were speaking regarding right here?-There were 300 uh, 300 to 350 influenced customers, and to my understanding, the majority of them have either um, gone with Eco-friendly Waste Recovery.Some have actually gone with [rustling audio] the other small hauler and also some have actually opted to do
the um, self-hauler alternative, become a signed up self-hauler, where they ha-hauler all their rubbish and recyclables to the Area Disposal Sites themselves. – As well as the– however this is I mean, I, I understand that ' s around this one problem but [inhales], but it discusses in the record that, that'we ' re type of gon na be taking uh, renegotiating all the contracts. Is, is it just 350 countywide that we'' re speaking about or are this– there a potential for even more influences down the roadway?-There are around 350 ward simply in the summit location, the San Lorenzo Valley location. Um, so the … -As well as so, I indicate, if so we relocate in the direction of uh, I think we will move in the direction of restricting. So, this uh, so these haulers, little haulers to simply temporary. Do we understand the amount of people are … are influenced? Will be influenced? -If I can chip in on this set as well. Um, so I think uh, what Manager Coonerty is referring remains in our the newer haulers which are our business uh, providers. So Casey [] perhaps uh, you might share if you understand exactly how several um, individuals use the, the newer haulers and, and what those expected changes are stepping forward, potentially.-Uh, appropriate. That we have non-exclusive roll-off franchise business. Those are 4 um, containers that are higher than 10 cubic lawns or 10 cubic backyards as well as higher
. Um, and there, there resembled it ' s 7 um, uh, accredited, you know, county-approved more recent haulers, that have franchise contracts. Um, we ' ve been, [thuds] you know, those have actually been renewed were restoring them like we need to renew them once again. They end at the end of this um, calendar year. And uh, we are going to consist of arrangements. Um, they ' ve always had demands from the reuse. Um, in both um, you know, blend organics and also reuses. Um, we are going to um, be deal with them and after that', and also, and including them in their clients to see to it they ' re conforming with that. Um, not every one of them can give, you recognize, smaller sized um, recyclable service for organics and also, and you know, blended recyclables however our unique franchise business with Eco-friendly Waste Recovery can provide those smaller bins that may be needed at a number of the business generators um, you recognize, to make certain that concerning a foot recycling service.-Supervisor Coonerty, if I may [free from the throat] add on to that , I assume we recognize your concern and we have a similar worry at having lived with the, the Coons
Transition. And also so we will certainly make every effort to collect more details, even more info, do more outreach before there or any kind of proposed changes um, because we comprehend that if-if we impact those uh, roll-off , customers, it ' ll effect our constituents. Therefore uh, will we hear you? I th– And I think we ' re hearing you correctly that we like to, you understand, little time to collect up the numbers on the individuals of those, uh, roll-off in. Those are the larger containers but it ' s a comparable scenario with trying to obtain those, those roll off.Then, small haulers conformity with 1383 and also the various other requirements that we need to fulfill. So, we will certainly do outreach and information gathering and also make certain that the impacted areas are well-informed before any kind of adjustments occur.-Okay. Thanks. It would be handy to recognize, you recognize, um, it ' s difficult to recognize precisely how large an effect this is. As well as after that, also the [inaudible] by supervisorial area all of us recognize which area specifically may be influenced. So, we can have a feeling of that we need to be in discussion with and also, and examine in with prior to any kind of adjustments are made.-Yes. Thanks.-Thanks, Supervisor Connerty.- We need to speak with the general public on this. At this time, a motion would be suitable.- Um, Mr. Chair, I hadn ' t quite … I ' m sorry,
, I hadn ' t fairly actually totally resolved the concerns where we got removed last time. I imply, I value the suitability of it. Simply getting back to the concern that-I'desire to make sure that'Supervisor McPherson ' s problem is attended to. That ' s essential to me. I also intend to identify what the item really is, which is functioning just a report card. Therefore, I seem like'in contrast to declining the'report card, there ' s a means to accept the report card yet offer additional direction that addresses what he requires. Since I simply, I seem like this is from a step-by-step standpoint, there'' s no reason today to not accept the suggested activities. Therefore, I would I would certainly come to be from what -I intend to make certain Manager McPherson concurs with this or fits with this, that'the extra instructions would certainly be that they would certainly come back with additio -with the sequa documents alternatives and also bring them forward as part of the next steps for task development.And I say that due to the fact that those demand to be restored when the jobs are taken into consideration anyhow, however we can define that we desire that ahead back as part of the job growth. I simply put on ' t see why we wouldn ' t approve the other components of the no waste report
, their conventional progression record that they also might be making use of as component of their justification for moneying solicitations at this time and kind of punted right into some unclear time right into the first quarter when the'clear thing that I think Supervisor McPherson ' s requesting for is making certain that he has a complete analysis on, on what the alternatives would be, ought to these tasks come onward. And I believe that ' s just something we can include an additional direction. But Manager McPherson, what do you think about that? -Well, I think that would be acceptable. I indicate, if it ' s clear and also I believe it can be explained. I think I ' m not from the region council that this would be appropriate. So,'I would certainly support that to accept the advised actions, the 3 of the suggested activities um, with the terms that we return, uh, in the future early next year, uh, to report further information on the sequa alternatives.-I ' ll secondly. -All. We have a movement by Manager McPherson, a 2nd by Supervisor Good friend. -Could I make a comment? -Definitely. Supervisor Caput.- Yeah.
And for 20 years, I'' ve been close to Mark for 20 years, it'' s always been that way uh, it is always been the issue.What ' s the right thing to do. Uh, and he'' s never ever, never uh, uh differed on that uh, and he ' s never also uh, stayed away from a ballot. I'' m thrilled that you ' re gon na be able discontinue to swim. We'' re not constantly, I despise to claim this to myself, the ideal as well as the brightest we ' re the ones who obtain elected.And due to the fact that of that, we have to count on personnel and also this region is absolutely amazing in what obtains done. I don'' t think I ' ve ever before ashamed you.I want to thank you and your staff for, uh, the assistance of the previous 2 years with the clean-up of, uh, trash as well as, uh, homeless encampments that we'' ve had in South County. That would certainly be Murphy Crossing area, Freeway 152 and also Houlihan Hazel Dell Roadway cleanup, and also Airport terminal Blvd near Eco-friendly Valley area. And after that, I likewise intend to thanks and also the general public works. We do have one set up, I guess for Paulson Roadway, and also the staging area will certainly be the residential property where we have a lease with a, choice to buy a South County Park as well as, uh, which is on Whiting road. So, anyhow, I want to thanks and your team. As well as the last thing I wish to say, I enjoy the name of the campaign trash talkers. So, thank you. -Thank you, Supervisor Caput. -Any additional conversation? All right.Then, we have a done activity to adopt the advised activities with additional direction to return in the very early part of next year with an evaluation of the sequal choices. -We ' re excellent. -Yep. All. Clerk, roll phone call vote, please. -Supervisor Pal? -Aye. -Coonerty? -Aye. -Caput? -Aye. -McPherson? -Aye. -And also Koenig? -Aye. -Product passes as changed. -Thank you. Thanks to our entire team on that last product. We'' ll now proceed with item 8, which is to consider a discussion on the 6th cycle housing element update program and direct team to return on or before January 31, 2023 for an added research session as detailed in the memorandum of the Deputy CAO, supervisor of neighborhood advancement as well as infrastructure.And to report on this product,
we have our system supervisor of planning, Stephanie Hanson.- Greetings. I believe it ' s still morning. [. chuckles] Good morning, Chair Koenig, participants of the board managers. Were mosting likely to, , go over today our upcoming sixth cycle housing element update. The real estate aspect is among 7 elements in the general plan. Actually, there'' s 8 of the brand-new sustainability upgrade'work. We ' ll integrate 2 of them and also 1 of the 7 mandated components ended is on an 8-year update cycle. The previous, um, real estate component, the 5th cycle was taken on, um, and also certified by the California Department of Area Growth or HCD in 2016. Numerous of the aspects in this slide will certainly be updated. Nevertheless, in this sustainability upgrade, which we'' ll begin to review at your following meeting.And after that, the last 2 components of public safety and security as well as sound aspects were lately upgraded, um, as part of our safety and security component update. This slide shows goals connected with the update. We included a sixth objective below since there'' s brand-new requirements connected with the 6th cycle that are of vital relevance. Um. These goals consist of providing a variety of real estate choices, eliminating obstacles to giving housing, maintaining housing supply, and also giving opportunities for unique requirements and also helpful real estate. Goal number 2 specifies to aiding in the growth of sufficient real estate to meet the requirements of exceptionally reduced, low, as well as moderate-income households. A new objective for the sixth cycle is to concentrate on future housing and also locations with high resources. These consist of areas that have excellent accessibility to transit, institutions, work, parks, as well as other solutions websites that do not need environmental mitigation, , as well as where the existence of streamlining, , for permitting is available. Right here are several of the called for activities linked with the update. The county will certainly start by assessing our 5th-cycle housing inventory.This will certainly require that we do a comprehensive evaluation of the existing, um, a thousand-plus or so properties that were in the last, , supply in the Fifth cycle housing aspect, and also those buildings that continue to be vacant can be included in our next one, the 6th cycle inventory. However on the various other hand, those were established throughout this cycle. We ' ll have to be re-evaluated to see if there ' s extra, um, capacity for addition in the following cycle. We should identify those any kind of properties that were overlooked or subdivided and might provide additional housing sites.HCD needs that just sites with practical shown potential for growth throughout the preparation period can be included in the real estate supply. We should recognize utility infrastructure and also other services and specify the variety of systems and also the level of revenue that the devices can accommodate on a residential or commercial property. Region team will review thickness of tasks on in a similar way zone sites for cost degrees as part of this job, um, with some exemptions. Vacant websites that were consisted of in our last 2 housing cycles will not have the ability to be consisted of in the 6th cycle housing. That might place some constraints on exactly how much we can utilize our existing inventory as well as may, , you know, encourage or require the county into engaging and rezoning of particular sites to suit higher densities after the real estate component is adopted.The organization of Monterey Bay Location governments or AMBAG has actually simply authorized the RHNA strategy for our region. RHNA represents Regional Real estate Requirements Appropriation. Our county was assigned an RHNA of
4,634 systems to be suited in the 8th-year preparation duration. This slide shows a contrast in between the 5th cycle RHNA as well as the new 6th cycle RHNA. Our RHNA has actually enhanced over 3 and also a half times from the last cycle. It ' s quite a huge jump for us. As of 2021, 744 units have been allowed under the current RHNA which represents regarding 56%of the needed systems. This year will certainly be a suitable year for us in terms of property building authorizations. And also so, this percent will be improved by the end of the cycle.We requirement to return. Okay. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing is a brand-new 6th-cycle need. We call it AFFH since it ' s a mouthful. It implies taking meaningful activities along with combating discrimination that conquer patterns of segregation and promotes inclusive neighborhoods devoid of obstacles that limit accessibility to opportunity. We do this partially by, uh, executing an assessment of'fair real estate, which calls for an analysis of the partnership between readily available sites in our high-resource areas as well as creating, , plans as well as programs to address this in addition to re-zoning of websites. The objective of the assessment is to replace set apart living patterns with incorporated and well balanced living patterns to change racially and ethnically focused areas in locations of hardship right into locations of possibility. The evaluation of fair housing will consist of a recap of real estate issues in the territory and an analysis of the jurisdictions fair real estate enforcement and outreach ability, and also an analysis of summary of fair housing issues used to, , using readily available state and government and regional resources.The evaluation will consist of a selection of variables such as trends as well as patterns within our loc -our county as well as in comparison to the wider area. As well as particularly, will certainly be resolving combination as well as segregation racially or ethnically focused locations of poverty, differences, as well as accessibility to chance, consisting of for persons with disabilities and also disproportionate real estate requirements, which might include points like overpayment, overcrowding, housing conditions and, as well as the like. As noted, public involvement has to be robust in this program and also will certainly start to take place early in the process.Staff is assembling a listing of potential stakeholders that may have a rate of interest in the growth of housing in the area, including not-for-profit real estate developers, local programmers, real estate agents funders, farm labor companies, community-based organizations, others addressing being homeless or houseless as well as interested region departments. Staff will be making use of similar outreach methods developed
for the sustainability update, including an interactive site, public comment site, outreach through social media, and also advertised area meetings.It ' s essential to keep in mind that a whole lot of the work that we ' re doing this year supplies a great foundation for the housing element update. Both the sustainability upgrade in the environment action as well as adaptation strategy include policies as well as approaches that sustain infill housing as well as housing options in the context of a changing atmosphere. Plan and code adjustments in the sustainability upgrade which will be specifically helpful include fitting infill development along our transport hallways and in metropolitan locations with solutions, broadening the series of densities admitted our current zoning areas, promoting brand-new requirements for smaller great deals, elevating the portion of property development that can be made use of on mixed-use websites, allowing somewhat taller modifications and also buildings to floor area ratios that identified the need for more housing as well as, um, much better utilization of sites, right-sizing auto parking needs as well as calling for transportation demand administration methods to urge decrease in car traveling, prevising easy-to-follow area layout guidelines to address area transitions and also objectives for vibrant areas, and also ultimately adopting a new greater density zoning district called Residential Flex which will enable 45 systems to the acre, , which will certainly fit smaller sized real estate units for singles trainees, workers, retired people, and others.Rezoning homes along our transport corridors consisting of the rail corridor will likely be the following step to improve our housing stock and accommodate our RHNA. So, below ' s the routine we have actually for the proposed update. We will certainly begin with assessing the housing supply and doing the AFFH analyses, um, as noted in the team report. Team also plans to return to the board once more in January with an upgrade to engage our brand-new supervisors. Environmental testimonial is called for and also will certainly be, um, anticipated to be completed
by June of next year. Stakeholder input will begin quickly beginning this year as well as will continue together with area meetings along the method. We will provide a draft of the component to the Planning Payment Real Estate Advisory Commission and also Board of Supervisors next summer. And after that, submit our draft to HCD. Afterwards, we ' ll return for fostering by the end of the year.The board additionally guided personnel to obtain pro-housing designation provided by HCD which improves our regions as well as real estate designers ' possibilities of receiving funds from state sources. After the real estate component is taken on, the county would work to achieve the condition and also has 3 years to rezone buildings needed to boost the stock and accommodate the RHNA so long as we remain on our routine. That wraps up today ' s discussion. We ' re satisfied to receive any type of input the managers might have to assist guide and educate the program. Thanks.-Thank you, Ms. Hanson. Are there inquiries or remarks from participants of the board?-Uh, Mr. Chair.-Supervisor McPherson?-There have been challenges of our real estate aspect below, and there ' s never larger than we are facing with this, um, proposal as well as it ' s no mistake of the preparation division for certain. I desire to thank the preparation division in our neighborhood advancement framework for the-Its work on the, and also the various other commissions too in their input in this housing component that they ' ve made to day. We all recognize it ' s mosting likely to be a significant challenge, , bigger than ever, uh, to fulfill the new RHNA numbers for our county.Even a lot more so than in years past. I indicate, when you look at what we had for the last RHNA section and also this, what undergoes 2 thousand twenty … I presume 24.- Twenty …-Okay,'excuse me. Twenty-Excuse me, 31. 2023 to 31. The last one was, um, 1,300 units. We simply got over half of those builds, and also now they ' ve more than tripled. With our limitations as well as facilities, water, sewage, transportation, and also power, this is'going to be fascinating to see just how we can meet this difficulty. It ' s overwhelming. And also again, this is not putting the blame on the preparation or public works or any various other division. But I presume my, my comment is, uh, allow ' s obtain real.But with our topography, what we have, as well as some of the challenges that we have while working on these adjustments and other tools that ' s going to ideally lead to more devices. We know we have a housing situation here, and as we do throughout the state and many lots of various other locations. We understand the obstacles that I ' ve just stated, however not to pointed out prior to that if market conditions neighborhood compatibility, website traffic. And additionally, naturally, is a worry of the absence of resources from the state to meet the numbers. I ' m going to be participating in the California State Organization of Counties end of conference in a number of weeks, where housing is going to be a significant subject down there. I can ensure you that'each of the 58 counties in the state are truly concerned regarding this need that the state is placing on to counties.Can I ask you? Do you know that, do you prepare for more state financing resources as well as, or state enforcement on meeting these RHNA numbers? What is your general idea of just how much are they mosting likely to place the hammer to us?-[ chuckles] . There ' s, there ' s a little bit of a hammer related to having our real estate element updated in time.You can … The state can come down on you. They can impose fines if they wear ' t. I think for those that are [faint] even have other actions that they might take such as ruling your whole basic strategy to be out of conformity and also taking over allowing. So, there ' s threats around. I believe the most significant hazard that I can see is that having a certified housing element is commonly linked to, , state financing and grants. Both for housing tasks as well as transport. So, it ' s very essential that we attempt to stay on schedule. I have actually not listened to of this. Really, the state can come down on you for not applying what ' s in the housing element, yet I believe there has to be an understanding at the state level that we are not real estate programmers in itself. Definitely, there ' s various other concerns that drive the market such as, um, rate of interest for one point, building and construction prices, etc, so.-Yeah. Well, there ' s, um … It ' s going to interest listen to as we go along and, uh, I simply, uh, there ' s some ideas that I have in right here with what various other board participants need to say, yet, um, this is certainly the largest challenge, uh, that we can have connected to our real estate infrastructure, Santa Cruz Region without a doubt. – Thanks, Manager McPherson.-Thanks.-Supervisor Caput? -[ inaudible] Everyone else a chance if you intend to enter prior to me or … -Proceed, Manager Caput. -Okay. Thanks. Uh anyway, uh, yeah. I uh, we absolutely need uh, low-income as well as extremely low real estate, and also uh, I just intend to say uh, in the previous uh, we ' ve been spreading it out and also I desire to see it uh,-I wish to see it'uh, continue to be spread out throughout District 1, 2, 3, 4 and also 5. Uh not uh, concentrated uh, only in uh, South County. Uh, the other is-is um, when we have a brand-new development coming in, um, can we call for uh, absorptive asphalt and concrete? Particularly for the parking lot as well as uh, sidewalks, uh, due to the fact that uh, by doing this the water will run back into the ground instead of escaping. As well as, uh, you recognize, going right into the uh, ocean at some point. -I presume I ' m not prepared to respond to that concern. They would certainly have to satisfy the criteria that remain in place yet I ' ll-we ' ve definitely can um, communicate that remark to -to our advancement review as well as our Public Works people. -Yes. Ye- c-can we make it a demand? That uh, I-I recognize in the uh, uh, psychological health
uh, facility of the one in Watsonville that ' s all absorptive uh, vehicle parking and likewise uh, sidewalks, so …-I wear ' t know we would certainly address that in the housing element upgrade, which is all concerning encouraging housing not uh, placing extra requirements in. There ' s certainly um, some overlapping doing it in a, , in a style that meets our ecological objectives as well.And I. -Yeah …-[ faint] behind me so I'let him resolve that.-As well as this would be associated with it calling for more trees to be planted uh, for color uh, specifically in auto parking areas and also uh, uh, anyway shade is a big offer. In addition to uh, water drainage. Bye []-Good morning. Thank you', Supervisor Caput. Uh simply a little comment on -on'your question there with regard to design criteria for stormwater. Uh we offer a lot of various options in, yet we do accept the building contractor or the developer to select the finest alternative that fits their website, every te ' s a little different.Uh we do see a great deal of uh, previous products being utilized since it functions well and also it ' s expense -effective, however there ' s certainly various other options. So, we wouldn ' t wan na uh, call for just one choice for everybody. We do wish to um, use various remedies for various problems. Uh however I will inform you that a lot of individuals, the majority of developments, are utilizing all these different innovative concepts. Whether it ' s uh, pervious surfaces or below ground storage space or various other ways to percolate the water into the ground as well as that ' s plainly the instructions everybody ' s going, consisting of the state and our own uh', projects.And so, you will certainly see even more of the pervious materials, uh, yet we ' re hesitant to make it a quick and also hard requirement because we understand that every site has some different demands and also various'- various remedies. So, hopefully that responses your question.- Yeah w- a-and also do we understand the difference between uh, typical cement and asphalt uh, versus uh, permeable asphalt as well as cement?-Ah w-sure. I imply, there are, um, there are a lot of differences um, I ' m not specifically uh, clear on which distinctions you ' re interested in. Yet you understand, when you have a pervious surface area, it ' s just allowing the water through. Structurally, it '
s still a sound product. It still brings the tons of whether it ' s a car park or a roadway. Uh however the key is beneath that pervious surface having uh, capability to hold the stormwater to hold the, you know, the design storm event. Therefore, the surface areas are, you recognize, they ' re all good since they just let water pass through. While still supplying an architectural component to -to hold a cars and also in various lots.-Right.And after that as for uh, trees-growing trees, open room, uh, environment-friendly locations, uh, you recognize, I ' d like to see more of that. I mean, nobody wishes to live in a, a,'uh, cement location. They want uh,-if you check out the Richer locations of Santa Cruz Area, they all have trees and shade.-Yeah, definitely.- You bet.- Thanks. -Okay. Many thanks a great deal.-Thank you, Supervisor Caput. There uh, are nothing else remarks re-Manager Coonerty? -Uh sure. Just really quickly, um, this is the start of the beginning. Uh, I appreciate the prepare for outreach. Uh, I do the – the analysis numbers are discouraging as well as the lack of State assistance um, to in fact fulfill those goals um, [throat clearing up] is uh, is extremely real.'I do desire to claim I -a few of the pieces that you ' re discussing, I think um, are exciting.Because they make our community extra comfortable and dynamic. Um, I believe-assume a few of the changes of land usage as our economic climate changes and uh, as real estate kinds transform um, will certainly be welcomed which , will actually cause a much uh, far better -better and brighter area. I desire to appreciate the staff for their outreach and I look ahead to listening to more concerning , what we can do after -after we obtain neighborhood input.-Thanks, Supervisor Coonerty. Uh, some comments and inquiries here. initially, I just wan na underline on the restrictions and also barriers part of the uh, real estate aspect evaluation. I believe it is really
vital that we speak to the private sector to house builders who are building most of these systems and recognize where they ' re getting captured up in our process as well as naturally, our entire region has made fantastic initiatives, uh, to start to enhance the process.You understand, we- at our last conference placed out the placement description for linked authorization facility supervisor. It ' s a fantastic action. Likewise, in regards to unifying the general public jobs as well as intending divisions. as well as I-I assume we require to proceed that initiative in regards to simplify-streamlining the process by speaking to individuals really building the residences and also comprehending where they ' re getting caught up. Some questions, um, the first is, if we increase thickness as well as a -or -you understand, add devices to the zoning map now, for instance, does-will those count towards the future RHNA numbers?- Yes, they would count toward the future because they ' re not consisted of um, in our inventory, our 5th cycle supply. So, um, as an example, a big residential property that could have -we could have attributed a capacity of 30 devices, whatever new um, zoning would the number of units would be permitted under new zoning would after that consisted of in the sixth cycle.-Got it. So, anything that ' s been added given that the 5th Cycle is sent will certainly be-will certainly count in the 6th cycle. That ' s fantastic. Um, you know, you discussed the sustainability upgrade and also how -I imply, really, that was action among this two-step larger procedure to include real estate capability to our area. And also I know the preparation division did an amazing quantity of public outreach as component of the sustainability update. Um just asking yourself, how you believed that reached the people that really engaged with the process um, you know, whether it ' s simply raw numbers or you recognize, top quality of action. -Yeah, we did have uh, collect some numbers, but I ' ll speak with the high quality a little. Um, we actually in the sustainability
update will certainly evaluate this following time, of course. However we truly try to provide a variety of methods which people can -um, uh, can participate. , we did a number of community conferences in the evenings, , and we did research sessions at all of our-all of the commission ' s that would certainly be four of the payment ' s.We went out to the RTC, we-we really attempted to supply a large , opportunity. We had a-a study we got a great deal of remarks through that, um, we did email blast, we did social media uh, blast, we deal with Jason Hoppin on news release and getting promotions out and also Facebook and also-and various other locations. Therefore, we really desire to attempt to improve -on that again.'Um, the standard kind of promotions in papers aren ' t as efficient any longer. and also I-I believe, you understand, when you see how much people are relying … uh-oh.-[ giggling] Great []- [giggling] on uh, social applications like next door. You truly wish to try to see to it that you ' re accommodating all those various alternatives … But, , yeah.- Okay, many thanks. As well as uh, how much -I suggest, I assume the record pointed out that-that we do have actually some cash allocated for public outreach. I believe we likewise got a local very early action planning give or reap give from AMBAG [] regarding exactly how much money is allocated public outreach for the real estate element.- Um, we still have a bit of adaptability on that. The um, gain …-Chair … -We might have a disturbance to the internet as a result of the quake. Um.-Okay. Is every little thing all?
Well, there ' s, … It ' s going to be intriguing to listen to as we go along and, uh, I just, uh, there ' s some concepts that I have in right here with what various other board participants have to state, however, um, this is definitely the biggest difficulty, uh, that we can have associated to our housing framework, Santa Cruz County for sure. They would certainly have to meet the requirements that are in place but I ' ll-we ' ve certainly can um, communicate that remark to -to our development evaluation and also our Public Functions individuals. Uh we offer a whole lot of different alternatives in, however we do delay to the building contractor or the developer to select the ideal option that fits their website, every te ' s a little bit different.Uh we do see a whole lot of uh, previous materials being used because it functions well and it ' s price -efficient, however there ' s absolutely other choices. I suggest, there are, um, there are a whole lot of differences um, I ' m not exactly uh, clear on which distinctions you ' re interested in. Um, we did a number of neighborhood meetings in the nights, um, and we did research sessions at all of our-all of the payment ' s that would certainly be 4 of the commission ' s.We went out to the RTC, we-we actually tried to supply a big um, opportunity.We need to take a time-out, – [inaudible] 10 mins [faint] -All right, we'' ll take a 10-minute break as well as return at 11:50. [pause] -Okay, we'' ll now return to the normal meeting of the Board of Supervisors. -Presentation … – [inaudible] -You actually drank things up, Stephanie. All right, so I was asking about our public outreach strategy um, and also concerning exactly how big the spending plan is for that, you said it'' s-we ' re still…-Um so the give was for $ 500000. Um, the standards were very adaptable keeping that grant. Therefore, we didn'' t really need to put our spending plan with each other um, line by line. We did make use of a hundred hundred of that in license streamlining and also we- so we'' ve roughly 400 left and we'' ll use a portion of -of that perhaps hopefully under a hundred for the sequa as well as public outreach specialist, that we'' re gon na bring on board to aid us with those elements. Um and afterwards a lot of it will go to team time. Um so, there will certainly be- we do have room to still improve a real budget plan as well as figure out how you wish to invest it on those types of elements. -Great. Um you understand, I guess what I'' m obtaining at here is that -I-I ' m specific that this is mosting likely to ultimately be a difficult as well as questionable subject in
the community.Um you know, we have actually definitely watched the city try and fall short multiple times with the corridors plan, which has a whole lot of resemblances to the job that we have uh, hand below, uh, and I'' ve heard rather a bit particularly in current weeks concerning some elements that sustainability update. And also I mean, essentially, what we'' re asked to be um, being asked to do below by the state to put more uh, very low-income and reduced housing and well source areas. I suggest that'' s -uh, that ' s mosting likely to be controversial, and, , I believe we have an opportunity to try to enhance the means that we do public outreach on this topic.You understand, we had
the record earlier today about a Santa Cruz like me, which particularly claimed that, , in our conventional processes we put on ' t see uh, a-enough representation from people from South Region, from Latinos, from renter ' s [] critically and also from young people. And also, you understand, those are all groups which have uh, crucial stake in the housing discussion. As well as so offered that- considered that we in fact have some- some sources to do robust public outreach, I believe that we have an opportunity right here to try something. Like a resident assembly, which is both representative uh, and also deliberative. Therefore, the depictive part is that people would certainly be welcomed from throughout the area. I indicate, similar to selecting a court with a random selection of people and um, then that team would be- could be winnowed to something that appears like what our real populace is.I suggest in regards to occupants, home owners, youth uh, as well as different ethnicities. and afterwards deliberative and to the extent that, that team would be able to fulfill multiple times, actually get to understand some of the issues as well as talk to each other concerning this- these issues. [faint] I'' m specific that when we reach completion of this, uh, there'' s going to be a great deal of individuals that state, hey I never became aware of it somehow. Regardless of you recognize, exactly how attentive our efforts are to do the outreach, yet a minimum of if we are able to say, well, we had someone that, you recognize, looks like you included in this process and also this is several of the final thought that they pertained to, I assume that'' s going to actually include authenticity and count on the entire process.So, a-and I think
eventually as we, you recognize, turn out the- the real estate element and also uh, some of the rezonings included with that in the future, um, will certainly continue to assist all of us get on the same web page as the area. Um, and also we have to listen to from the public as well as- and all that, but that'' s simply some of the thoughts on my mind today. It looks like it'' s um, a great Convergence of things right here that bring us to this. Any other comments or questions from board members before open up to the public? – I have one …
– Manager Caput. – [faint] as well as uh, when we'' re structure low-income and extremely low-income real estate, uh, do we get uh,- do you get pushback uh, I understand when we performed in South County, I call it the Minto [] task. Uh, I had one more name something Knowles [] Yeah. [laughter] -Yeah. Eric Shapiro. -Shapiro [] Knowles [] uh, and I believe it was 80 units as well as uh, there are people in your area that were saying well we put on'' t desire low-income housing coming in right here. Uh, I will certainly claim that that was possibly concerning one decade back. And also uh, the community is very happy with uh, uh, Shapiro Knowles [] Minto [] area currently. Every little thing kinda functioned out. The web traffic, the individuals are great. So, what I'' m accessing is uh, uh, if can we put a low-income, really low-income in a much more affluent location of the region and uh, would certainly that- uh, would that fit so we wear'' t have poor living in one area, abundant living in another. As well as I'' ll offer you a one little comment, my- my wife and also I were- we went to Carmel a couple years ago.And uh, you recognize, shopping taking a look around or whatever, uh, prices are really high. And also I was speaking with one person there that resides in Carmel. And I stated, just how do you- if you acquire a residence right here, how do you even manage all of the uh, property tax obligation, the cost of enduring here? Currently I'' m estimating him, not me.He stated, the higher it is the cost, the far better it is we like it. Since it keeps the- uh, he made use of a word like uh, garbage out of our location. Which'' s a depressing comment. And also so, are we able to somehow uh, incorporate uh, the very low-income with the extra wealthy locations? -So, the uh, needs I was reviewing concerning affirmatively enhancing reasonable housing, um, is mosting likely to truly make territories consider where we'' re placing our housing, our higher density housing. Which by its nature, should be a lot more inexpensive if it ' s not outright budget friendly by by act um, and also- and also- and we actually will need to check out our higher source locations where there'' s great institutions and- as well as solutions are readily available. And also we require to check out our historic pattern that has actually led to segregation. It'' s not only this community, of'training course, it ' s all communities.It returns, back back, back to the 20s, in- in um, all type of -of uh, laws and also policies that permeated uh, uh, zoning. , we truly are gon na be looking at that much extra carefully in this round. And also the locations that we do rezone or going to have to satisfy some of those high resource areas. -Yeah. A- as well as I believe the more affluent areas would certainly uh uh, they would see how low-income and very low-income really does fit in extremely well, as time goes by.So … -Thanks, Manager Caput. -Mr. Chair. -Supervisor Buddy. -Yeah, I appreciate Supervisor Caput'' s remarks um Manager Caput has -has actually constantly been unfaltering in- in making that situation, I think it is necessary , that the region actually mention that that'' s precisely what'we ' ve carried out in the last-if you take a look at the last – I just didn'' t desire it to go unspoken since if you take a look at the last variety of uh, budget friendly, extremely low-income regulating- well, modest earnings as well as below.But even incredibly low-income, those jobs have actually happened exactly in the demographics systems of talking, for instance, the Aptos Blue Task, uh, extremely low-income. The Sea Ridge project, low-income. The task that ' s uh, -the collaboration with Dientis [] is in fact not in a low-income census system and my colleagues ' district and also he ' s been encouraging of. I just want to direct out that what the region has actually constructed, really low-income jobs in the unincorporated area in the last-considering that you ' ve been on the board, have really been in the precise- exact demographics systems that you ' re promoting for right now.Now relocating ahead, uh, with this job that we ' re doing with the real estate component, by the method, in the sustainable pro- uh,-plan which will be a quite considerable conversation. There will certainly be even wider discussions about exactly how to broaden it past where it currently is. Yet it ' s worth recognizing that the area has done precisely as what you ' re saying , and also placing those -those recent projects in those locations.-Thanks', Manager Good friend. All right. If there are nothing else comments or questions from board participants, is there anyone in the general public that wishes to comment on this item? Seeing no person right here in the Chambers.Is there any person on Zoom?- Yes, there is. Tara, your microphone is now readily available.
-Thanks so a lot. This has been truly a beneficial chance for me to learn what ' s taking place. I have some expertise of just how the-the real estate component fits into the entire procedure as well as what I intend to ask is, [coughings] excuse me. When we do the neighborhood meetings. Can we additionally provide a description exactly how the basic element is a foundation and after that the planning policies, building codes and also zoning appears of that? I assume that ' s where my neighbors in Enjoyment Factor get confused.And so if, if we can supply that since individuals are not only, I ' m not only concerned regarding density, I ' m concerned regarding just how we ' re mosting likely to manage the water that, I'' m sorry, that, the drain issues that'we have in this community'. Exactly how are we mosting likely to water, deal with transport considering that the bus system does not serve well? So, thank you so much. Those are all inquiries that I really hope shown up in the area meeting procedure.- Thank you, Tara. -Rapha, your microphone is now offered.-Yes, uh, excellent afternoon. I say sorry. , if this was currently dealt with during the personnel discussion.. I was late to this conference so when we reached catch the last few minutes.But, uh, one point that I ' m concerned for Santa Cruz Area, with, um, moving onward, with taking on a complaint real estate element by the
statutory deadline is, , our, our requirement to finish the rezoning and the requirement to do that within the demands of the law. Um, my understanding is that, um, we ' ll have to probably have to complete, um, an EIR for the real estate element itself, um, and, and also we should start planning those ecological documents as soon as possible.So that they can be ready to go by the time that we are ready to embrace something, by the end of following year. I realized it ' s type of a hen and egg issue, where we don ' t always recognize exactly
the amount of housing systems or the thickness or whatever that we have to be preparing for and also we place ' t even begun to look at'sites for our site inventory yet, um, these are'really, you recognize, parallel tracks that will certainly be, require to be, require to be dealing with, um, to make sure that we do have every one of the environmental, uh, work type of happening in parallel as we ' re working through the area interaction procedure on, um, identifying sites.And on progressing with the programs as well as policies, um, I assisted the city of Santa Cruz move on with some referrals, uh, that they ' re looking at, uh, as component of their real estate component, uh, policies.
And also I encourage the area to look at several of the concepts that the, uh, City of Santa Cruz has actually already devoted to investigating as part of their upgrade process. Thank you significantly.-Thanks, Rapha. -We run out speakers.-Okay, after that I ' ll return it to the board for activity.-, Mr. Chair, I just, um, one comment and after that we ' ll make them, I ' d like to look make an activity. I assume the area has 600 Parcels, I, you understand, from A'to Z, I presume in size. Do we have any idea of how much or how several of these are potentially buildable? Or is it, would it be, this procedure will possibly, I ' m sure we ' re going to obtain to that in some way, yet is that going to become part of an, I, I really do appreciate it. I believe the public should know as well as complying with up in, uh, Manager Friends comments that we'' re, we ' re relocating this direction the best method we can, I think. And also I applaud the preparation division and public jobs as well as everyone else for obtaining us to a good area like can be and it'' s going to be larger difficulty currently. But do we, exists any kind of way to identify where those parcels that the county owns? As well as I assume it ' s hundreds of them, uh, could be buildable, maybe that ' ll be come up or might come up or could come up in a conversation with this. Well, the movement that I would certainly such as to make that, um, I just'moved the suggested actions with extra direction.As was pointed out by chair Koenig, uh, that the staff, uh, launch an RFP, uh, ask for proposal for a public engagement procedure is both representative and also deliberative as pointed out by Chair Koenig. That ' s, I, I, I believe it '
s defined as you claimed, I believe there ' s a hundred thousand bucks for that sort of a purpose. And I believe it ' s absolutely important that we obtain, uh, a broad spread of the community stood for and also coming to some demands or some proposals from that'. So I ' d like to make that motion. That we do, uh, we do, um, launch an RFP for public engagement process that is both, uh, depictive and deliberative.I believe it ' s the most effective method to put it. -I'' ll secondly. Any type of additional conversation?- Yes.-I imply, and also I ' ll just clear up, you know, both, there are, I ' m conscious on the number of specialists around'that can aid at this factor with this kind of a public involvement procedure. So, as an example, I understand Eugene Organ produce a trainees in evaluation panel on real estate as well as recently 2020, 2021, uh, the city of Petaluma lately had a 36%person advisory panel and also the future of its Fairgrounds. Um, so some of the companies that, ah, throughout [Faint] worked at that, them on that particular was healthy and balanced democracy. There ' s likewise the center for deliberative democracy at Stanford, which is done this on the range of the state as well as also the nation, uh, and after that the sortation structure. So I, I, I do think that if we put out this kind of RFP will, if there ' s, sufficient of an environment out there that we would certainly obtain a robust feedback. Any type of more discussion? Seeing none. Staff, roll phone call vote, please.-Supervisor Friend.- Aye.- Coonerty.- Aye. -Caput.-Aye.- McPherson.- Aye.-And Koenig.-'Aye.-Item passes as amended.-Thank you. All. thanks once more, Assistant Supervisor, Hanson.We ' ll now wage item 9 to consider our first quarter report for the financial year 2022, 23 on canvas licensing workplace procedures, and also straight staff to return on or prior to January 31st, 2023 with the second quarter record for monetary year ' 22, ' 23 as outlined in the memorandum of the region management policeman and also for a report on this tem we have our Cannabis Licensing Office, uh, Supervisor, Samuel LoForti and Deputy CIO, that will be Serena.Go in advance.- Great mid-day, board. Thank you, um, one even more. In the initial quarter, we ' ve remained to 'see 'some contraction in our neighborhood market. An additional 11 canvas services shut for, bringing the overall from in 2015 to 31, um, this quarter we have not obtained any pre-applications. On the conformity front, we continue to
locate minor documents issues connected with the website representation modifications mostly, uh', which added to the 3 restorative activities you see in the record. No conformity concerns we ' re caused citations or violations for our qualified drivers. On the enforcement front, uh, in the previous report, personnel recognized a successful illegal market as part of the trouble for the Statewide market. As well as while this holds, our regional immoral market has actually reduced significantly. Uh, our company believe this decline in the illicit Market is mostly'as a result of our CCU teams ' positive enforcement work and also the economics of the illegal market have changed, , basically, costs have actually lowered a lot that profit margins are shrinking.Uh, the regulation of, the directives of the board and the financing for the CLO as well as CCU teams have actually continuously shown progress in lowering, human health and wellness and also safety, ecological destruction as well as fire dangers associated' to the illegal Market. On the monetary front, we are 25%through the year. We ' ve obtained 15 percent of our budgeted incomes and also invested 14 %of our budgeted profits which has actually led to an internet basic fund price to the region of 7500 to date. When it come to taxes, we have obtained 16.6 %of our complete budgeted cannabis company tax obligations for the year, which is approximately 324,000 listed below projections for the first quarter. Retail CBT is down about a non-retail and 3rd CBT is down approximately 83 %from the exact same time last year.So with respect to the previous board movement, Revenue Improvement Alternatives, um, staff have actually included five choices, which were consisted of in the October 19th, 2021 board letter for your discussion today. These factors to consider were developed in reaction to the previous board instructions to existing options to aid support the neighborhood cannabis market and it assist boost the tax base, , market volatility, market volatility has resulted in considerable decreases in the
wholesale cost of items given that these alternatives were established and team does have some issues that this volatility, , might not generate a few of the preferred income results. Some options may lead to reduced temporary earnings and also might lead to boosted area worries. While others might lead to small income increases as well as effect to other private sectors, mainly tourist. If the board does want to seek any of these alternatives, um, particularly, the retail-related choices, team would certainly recommend that we seek neighborhood input using a series of conferences in each supervisorial district before completion of the fiscal year as well as offer the referrals based on those lead to January. Staff is available to answer any kind of questions you might carry the quarterly record and the options to sustain the legal market at this time.-Thank you, Mr. LaForti. Other remarks or concerns from board participants? -Mr. Chair, if I may start.-Please.-Uh, thanks, Mr. LaForti, uh, thank you, Mr. [Faint] For your work on this, uh, it is clear that we ' re dealing with a rather unstable market. I concur with the general personnel recommendation which is, uh, well, the team referrals are simply essentially to maintain status. I indicate, to me I assume it ' s clear that the marketplace is toning up and particularly on the [Inaudible] is drinking up and in particular, on the cultivation side I don ' t think that it ' s at its existing scale anyhow that it ' s mosting likely to proceed to be a viable aspect on the market locally, we ' ve seen as you know, Mr.LaForti, you ' ve reported on a decrease in the variety of people seeking licenses, a reduction in the variety of people attempting to, uh, transform agricultural parcels right into marijuana. Um, but as an outcome of that, I indicate, we'' ve got highland cause, high labor expenses, and an oversaturated neighborhood market, I suggest, I just put on ' t believe that it ' s really in the county ' s benefit to be doing anything to artificially prop up the sector, specifically, in this changing landscape right now. As the factor that you had noted', I indicate, the
greatest conflict factors in this board, uh, recently handled this on a-appeal part, uh, manage next-door neighbors and also farming website With the reduction in cannabis organization tax related to, in specific, on the growing side and also a few of the other non-retail operations. Uh, it seems that it be in our finest passion to not'make any kind of tax-related or regulatory modifications or for that issue to also do this, the community-based outreach that you ' re talking of.Because I simply wear ' t think that it makes feeling for us to do that. We put on ' t do this for any type of other industry, by the means, I indicate, we ' ve obtained a great deal of controlled Industries within our world. We have, uh, special tax obligation sectors, including say, like, transient tenancy tax obligation. When points begin to go out of organization r challenges happen, we put on ' t talk regarding a whole re-regulatory landscape in order to deal with problems for them. I don ' t understand why the board would even consider doing anything to, to improve the regulatory landscape or tax-related framework on this.The last one that I think is crucial to note because, you know, I recognize that we have one reasonably brand-new board participants because the time that this board checked out the tax obligation cycle on this, um, you understand, we had a pretty substantial research study that was provided to the board, , HDL, I can ' t remember specifically the name of the professionals that had actually supplied it. Those numbers never panned out for the region. I mean, I mean it ' s clear to me that any kind of type of adjustments or in, in tax obligations or regulation won ' t ever make those numbers turn out. Those price quotes at the time had said that we would certainly get someplace between 3
as well as 20 times that the tax revenue that the area is actually obtained and as a result of it, it just strikes me that, uh, the industry is drinking out in such a way that, that retail will possibly remain to succeed within Santa Cruz County, however growing and also a few of the various other non-retail aspects will not and I think that our framework shouldn ' t be, uh, exactly how do we chase it'by, by changing laws and also tax obligations in order to prop up components that simply aren ' t going to be successful in our area because of the outside market pressures and things that aren ' t fundamental to Santa Cruz Area, like land prices and labor costs.I mean, they won ' t really function out. Anyhow, I value the report. I supported the extra instructions that came from the chair at the time even if, um, I know that it was a concern of passion to him but I ' m not supportive of doing anything different than we ' re currently doing specifically'at this type of volatility and also so I ' m just supportive of the personnel referral right currently which is an accepted documents as well as progressing as is, however thank you for the report. Thank for the opportunity to share my thoughts Mr.Chair.-Thank you, Supervisor pal. [Inaudible] various other members of the board who wish to talk on'this.
I simply desire to aim out that what the area has constructed, extremely low-income projects in the unincorporated area in the last-because you ' ve been on the board, have actually been in the specific- exact demographics tracts that you ' re supporting for appropriate now.Now relocating onward, uh, with this job that we ' re doing with the housing component, by the way, in the sustainable pro- uh,-strategy which will certainly be a rather considerable conversation. It ' s worth understanding that the county has actually done specifically as what you ' re stating , and placing those -those current tasks in those locations. Um, however as an outcome of that, I suggest, we'' ve got highland reason, high labor expenses, as well as an oversaturated local market, I suggest, I just wear ' t think that it ' s truly in the region ' s best rate of interest to be doing anything to synthetically prop up the sector, particularly, in this changing landscape right currently. Uh, it seems that it be in our finest passion to not'make any regulative or tax-related modifications or for that issue to also do this, the community-based outreach that you ' re talking of.Because I simply don ' t think that it makes sense for us to do that. Those price quotes at the time had stated that we would certainly obtain somewhere in between 3
and also 20 times that the tax revenue that the county is in fact gotten and as a result of it, it simply strikes me that, uh, the market is shaking out in a means that, that retail will possibly continue to be effective within Santa Cruz Area, however farming as well as some of the various other non-retail aspects will certainly not and also I assume that our structure shouldn ' t be, uh, exactly how do we chase it'by, by changing policies as well as tax obligations in order to prop up elements that simply aren ' t going to be effective in our location due to the fact that of the outside market pressures and also things that aren ' t integral to Santa Cruz County, like land expenses and also labor costs.I mean, they won ' t actually work out.I suggest, I'' ll simply, you know, state a couple of points which is, first, I assume that, you understand, Santa Cruz like it or not, marijuana belongs of the Santa Cruz brand name as well as, you recognize, I believe that we'' ll see that, uh, as component of the continued retail sales, somehow. Um, however I think that there is still a chance both for makers, suppliers, as well as farmers in our area and throughout this duration of variation, um, you recognize, instead than so to see it as it is, you know, propping up a dying industry. I believe it'' s just how do we maintain, uh, we maintain the sector and likewise offer an opportunity to improve things going forward. I imply, I see, also with the proposal number three to raise [Inaudible] limitations in certain areas. I mean, we, ah, as manager Friend stated, we understand that the biggest factor of problem right here is in between cultivators and also residents.And so, in developing
a policy that where we permitted debt consolidation of growing procedures, it appears to me that that would really lower problems as well as especially if we made that based on, you know, basically a good record by those farmers of not having issues of dispute with the surrounding location. That, that could be a win-win, , you know? Furthermore, usage of well established greenhouses on, on CA Parcels. Uh, I mean, I ' ve seen direct the amount of in, uh, our farming sector that have these greenhouses.A great deal of them are left over from the cut blossom company. I
have seen cannabis as a method to both, um, preserve existing operations, consisting of a, you recognize, a range of various ranch items, whether it ' s reduced blossoms and also expanding with cannabis with'an additional crop, as well as to get even more profits to reinvest in those companies and taking care of up those centers. Preserving cannabis within a greenhouse is really the, the most controlled possible area you can visualize, uh, since there are- is the chance to scrub smell, control light and also quite much contained the entire procedure within a single building.So I believe that ultimately those, both those plans can be a win-win and also really reduce the general impact on the neighborhood, um, as well as tips 4 as well as 5, enabling retail usage, uh, type of the on-site or farm tours. I mean, for that, quite a lot accesses the heart of the most significant 2 sectors in our county, which are both tourism and also agriculture, uh, within the sustainability upgrade that ' s stepping forward. I imply, there ' s a number of policies that'intend to basically build on the Agro-tourism sector, uh, within our community.I think that makes sense. It is a possible development chance and also it ' s a prospective growth possibility for the marijuana market. So I assume that there ' s some great suggestions right here. I expect hearing what my coworkers, what the general public need to claim too, , but ultimately, I think that some of these propositions are a possibility for, for win-win solutions.- Mr. Chair, uh, I think you increased a fascinating point. So I just wan na purge it out a bit, , on a policy dispute side here. I imply, at the end of the day, there ' s an over cultivation.I mean, the market is falling down in part since there ' s an oversaturation of the'real product and also the demand? The idea of broadening growing size, it ' d be like saying people are purchasing less automobiles. We ought to have 10 cars and truck dealers consolidated right into one substantial auto dealer because that ' s going to in some way enhance the market. It doesn ' t boost anything.It simply means living alongside that massive auto dealers is mosting likely to especially draw for whatever homeowners who exist. There ' s a surplus right currently, right? If there ' s too much stock, I put on ' t think that we need to create guidelines that make it much easier to combine or make more cultivation. People are leaving the growing company completely. I suggest, the other elements, anyway, the various other components are separate on the non, on the retail side. Yet I just think that it ' s just such an active unstable market and also I seem like that what we ' re doing is chasing after regulations, uh, to remain to, I suggest, it ' s, it ' s starting to flush'out. I mean that the staminas are within the citizen, or within the retail side, uh, the strings maybe, um, although I assume we'' re gon na have a plan conversation concerning this in November, concerning aspects that retail like distribution which type of things, but it may not be in our region specifically with that, with the underlying labor and land expenses, for example, in the cultivation and even making or distributing aspects of it.And as a result, maybe those aren ' t elements that our county really props up I imply, that ' s, that ' s how it is. I mean there ' s, there ' s, there
are things that are more pricey for us to do than they are in Mendocino or the Central Valley as well as everyone has competitive advantages'therefore I don ' t see an advantage to us changing a regulative, uh, structure in order to do it. I think that the hidden economics of it are such that the things that you ' re chatting regarding actually wear ' t assistance. I mean, they actually would develop additional issues, and we ' re seeing that play out in how the taxes are playing'out right now.-If I might react to that, I suggest, the top worry I ' ve spoken with growers, is that right now they ' re attempting to manage procedures throughout several small sites, which includes cost and time and also suggests'that 10 neighborhoods are influenced as opposed to one. Therefore,'you recognize, uh, I assume that there ' s a, as I said, a possibility for a win-win below which, uh, less overall neighborhoods can be influenced and the private growers could see their expenses of doing business go down.-We ' ve already combined these right into really particular, I indicate, for example, the greenhouse element you have is already a component of our code. I mean, no brand-new existing frameworks as an example within the coastal area, the purpose of that was to utilize underutilized greenhouses specifically called out that we had underused or non-used. Uh, this is before you hopped on the board, however greenhouses for that precise purpose.So I need to be made there. When you look at the sales numbers of the retail side, when you look at just how much is plainly being grown locally and also for that reason, we ' ve had regional cultivators acknowledged, it ' s almost 90 %that they ' re exporting out. I just don ' t know that doing these debt consolidations are actually going to be valuable. I mean, I legitimately don ' t. So, I suggest, to me likewise since we wear ' t know, it ' s like the eye -one of things I ' ve found out in managing this issue for the last one decade is that when we consistently decontrol in order to chase an emerging'pattern, it ' s extremely hard to re-regulate if we locate the trouble. And also we located problems with issues. As well as so, to me, we simply need to stop where we have, you understand, what we have. Identify exactly how the sector cleans and also its weak points as well as toughness locally.And after that, if there ' s really things that require to be done to boost where there ' s real points that we need to accept, then we would certainly do it. I think that, that what we did is we allow a genie out
of a bottle rather early on by being the first region in the state to create a governing structure on growing. By the means, there was an eco-friendly rush certainly into our location. Because that time, we ' ve been attempting to determine the most effective means to manage it. I indicate, we placed it in CA. Where do -We leave capitals and also now we ' re handling this conflict in the San Lorenzo Valley in this thing today. As well as so, having altering the governing structure now as well as chasing an additional anecdotal component, I believe it ' s simply bad public law. And also that ' s why, , in from the instance of background because I ' ve been via this many times, I believe that that ' s why I ' m advocating for simply maintaining. As this, uh, as well as you recognize that I ' m not in-I ' m in uncommon agreement with the, the Cannabis licensing workplace'of their policy suggestions.I mean, I ' m in contract with, with the recommendation that now it is most likely not mosting likely to pan out of precisely what you ' re seeking for, which so simply maintain the status quo.
– Okay, thank you. Any various other supervisor that wish to include comments or questions?- Yes.-Well, commentor … -Supervisor Caput, yep. -Sure. Yes, we ' re not deciding on any kind of choices right now? Is that proper?-Consequently, 5 choices have actually been presented. The board might select to advance any of them or not. -Yeah. Anyhow, I -this will have a'big influence. A few of the changes on South County. I assume we ' re fine where we are right now personally.And, uh, if, uh, if this going to be, we require to consider this genuine close. I wouldn ' t even have to worry about it if we placed it off ' till January the Third. Allow somebody else handle it. Okay. I don ' t recognize.
Yeah. -All right. Thank you, Supervisor Caput. Manager Connerty?- Sure. Thank you ', Mr. Chair, and say thanks to'you to the CA workplace for your record. I assume it ' s just practical'to understand, uh, what ' s going on in the ever-changing industry. I fundamental -um, suggestions are mug of fold. One is, I believe it ' s not a poor idea that always repeat as well as look at modifications to plans. Um, I likewise assume it ' s recognizing that, , that the work this board did obtained us right into a place with a, with a steady, , cannabis farming and licensing framework that was not a provided as well as we still see other counties battling to today trying to determine how to approach this issue. As well as so, , a great deal of excellent job was done to access this point, and afterwards believe adjustments can be made to supervisor Caput ' s point. I believe we ' re mosting likely to have 2 brand-new board members, and those 2 new- Those individuals running right currently have very various strategies to, uh, to cannabis and also licensing.And so, um, I believe it ' s suitable to wait as well as let those new people involve as well as, , reset policy. Therefore, I think that, , this will be a discussion together with housing and numerous various other problems that this board will capably have in the following year too.-Thanks, Supervisor Connerty.-I ' ve -I ' ve assume 3 things that have been very excellent appearing of, uh, when we initially began decreasing the farming and also the sales of marijuana cannabis. And also that is lowering the prohibited -immoral farming, and also we ' ve obtained'cleansed up some of our setting in the region, which is a good idea. And also I ' m for the medicinal use of marijuana. So, those are 3 positives. But there are adverse components that I don ' t intend to obtain right into appropriate now.-All right. Thank you, Manager Caput. -Mr. Chair …-Manager Mcpherson-So, if there ' s no other remarks. I agree with the comments have actually been made however, uh, I simply would move the suggested activities.-I ' ll come back to you where you at,
offer treatment [] for the general public first.-Oh, excuse me. Okay. I ' m just entering a rush. -All. Mr. LaForti, did you want to react to any type of comments made with? Okay. I ' ll open to public comment currently.-Hi, my name is Aziz. I ' m an owner and also manager at DNA Organics. We remain in Watsonville. We have 5 farms, which is partially due to this cover cap sort of offer that we ' ve experienced, we put on ' t limit raspberries, we put on ' t limit anything else, we are an agricultural crop. And also as the industry evolves around us and around this area, it will continue to come to be that and also the factor which we are having difficulty contending, would claim Santa Barbara or Lake region, is due to over-regulation. It ' s not that we ' re drawing reg-unna -It ' s not that we ' re drawing laws back that are essential. Pleasantly, Zach Close friend, um, I put on ' t believe you identify what ' s taking place in the overarching market. A whole lot of organizations have actually gone out of business across the state. We ' re facing clearance sales. This is just component of a brand-new industry.It ' s not assisting a having a hard time market,'it ' s aiding a youngster. Like, this sector is a kid as well as if you stifle it, you are mosting likely to suppress its development and also it will certainly never ever advance to what it can be. And I believe it ' s very crucial that we acknowledge that.
In your District cafe, ', we paid out $1.2 million in payroll this year. Furthermore, $1.1 million in seasonal pay-roll. Primarily concentrated going to Area 2 and for locals. So, these are things that are under danger and we need to secure them. So, instead of proceed to stifle the sector, please listen to Mr.LaForti as well as take into account what he ' s discussing due to the fact that it ' s really crucial to a great deal of individuals here. Thanks. -Thank you, Aziz.-Hi. Pam Melowe. I ' ve had the satisfaction of working on this concern for a long period of time. Now, um, first off, thank you
for not surrendering on this completely. I believe every one of the referrals are truly required, and also some of them are actually exciting.And what we would require to have the kind of market that all of us spoke about together for years as well as years and also years. I think that the second part of the just the report says what we ' ve been saying for many years, is that this system we constructed as much as it was improved different people and also good intents ' s political point of views as well as trying to take a matter of all of those. It developed dysfunction that only the, you understand, largest most unlucky entities were able to slither via, as well as we'' d in of excluded the mass parts of this region who were legal participants in the clinical cannabis period from ever before'taking part in this brand-new experiment.We ' ve also spent millions of millions of bucks. Usually, needlessly spoiling individuals ' s lives with enforcement and also keeping on the same, you recognize, issues connected with prohibition. Even the racial disparities of just how are, you recognize, post clinical legalisation has been, you recognize, the enforcement ' s been applied when we ' re having this conversation in 2016. Now, numbers of appeared in 2020 that'you were 5 times most likely is a black individual to get caught in this, similar to this enforcement paradigm that we ' ve set up. As well as we didn ' t leave room for the core of what we were speaking about right here, which is, you know, keep it'tiny, keep it local, the equity, the compassion, the legacy, all of that. And also, you understand, simply to address, I wear ' t intend to spend excessive time on this. Zack Pal ' s perspective due to the fact that he doesn ' t choose any policy involving marijuana. Like, you -we have actually been propping you up with the child ' s fund and also all that, and like we ' ve been paying taxes. As well as like, simply obtain the boot off the'neck for a little while.So, thanks.- Thanks, Mr. Melowe.-Excellent afternoon. I ' m Rob Morgan. I ' m one of the licensees in the area. We have 3 different parcels in your district, Mr. Caput. Part of that likewise is as very easy as mentioned is as a result of the canopy restricts
per parcel based on the parcel size. We ' ve been a certified driver. We ' ve never ever had any type of issues in the county. Raising the canopy limitations is something that our business needs to remain to flourish. I think, uh, it ' s a more nuanced concern than, uh, what Mr.Friend stated. As'much as the factor that cannabis industry is where it ' s at. You can ' t have simply successful retail without successful farming. There will be no retail without farming. Um, I ' m in sustained the boost canopy limits
within the CA area. Also, the rise of, uh, the retail within those areas at those certificate parcels. I believe it ' s something that our sector requirements and, you understand, the retail and also Santa Cruz area is also,'uh, pretty small in contrast to various other regions. Yeah. I wish to give thanks to Sam as well for all the work that he ' s made with his staff. As well as ideally, you recognize, when we have the new board members, we can, you understand, press this further along as we have. Many thanks. -Thank you, Mr. Morgan. I see no one else right here in chambers. Is there any person on Zoom?-There is. Customer ending in 777, your microphone is currently available.-Hi, my name is Greg Fernandez.I ' m a licensee below. We have 648,000 square feet of greenhouse that is accepted for cultivation. I ' m calling to-in assistance of every one of the suggestions that Mr. Laforti ' s workplace has. [gets rid of throat] [faint]
below today. And simply wan na, uh, you know, not -not attempt to choose a fight or anything however Supervisor Close friend just does not recognize what he ' s discussing. I just got pushback on basically whatever that he stated. Our land prices are very expensive up right here, however I assumed that are already right here, those are sunk, it ' s done. We do need various other methods of revenue and also earnings generally, as well as the retail, on-site retail certainly would assist us, um, along those lines. Our labor prices are practically constant throughout the state. So, it ' s not actually, you recognize, our-our ranch workers, just not that far more below than it is. Basically in any other part of the state, with the exemption of maybe Lake Region or, you understand. , you know, we ' re -we ' re-we ' re stuck in this circumstance truly since of the cost of this asset. It is simply come down as well as it ' s, it ' s the lowest it ' s ever before been ever.And that has- There ' s a great deal extra. There ' s an audio speaker there that claimed, make use of words-The term subtlety. There is a lot to this, , and it ' s certainly nothing that can be tackled in a meeting. Let alone a 2 minute, uh, you understand, period here.
I wear ' t think that'any of these actions would be propping up our sector. As it is claimed, we ' ve -As well as one more customer claimed, you know, we were here, uh, we ' re paying taxes, we ' re paying payroll, we paid numerous bucks in payroll this year, , as well as we ' re-we ' re extremely thrilled about the future. And we likewise need to remember, somebody did say that, “Hey, we ' re the initial town to legalize the clinical use cannabis back in the …- Thanks, Mr. Fernandez.-Darren, your microphone is currently available.-Hey, everyone. It ' s Darren Story. Sorry', I couldn ' t make it in today. I concur with Greg and everybody else. We ' re not considering surplus, Zack.What we ' re looking at is a poor plan that ' s in fact stimulated the underground market. If you consider Californ -All the researches have shown that The golden state ' s black market is in between 2 as well as 3 times larger than it was before prop 64. So, anything that'permits us to end up being more reliable enables us to contend with the underground market. Truly what you ' re going to do is you ' re not getting rid of cannabis operators.You ' re going to press them right into the immoral market. We ' re not looking to prop up, we ' re looking to promote legal drivers that are doing it. Among'the reasons Santa Cruz region has seen a decrease
in illicit operators, due to the fact that Sam ' s done a great deal of job to assist us end up being much more effective and assist us complete and we can place them out of business.You ' re not going to put him out of organization with enforcement. Because they ' re not paying taxes, you can ' t tax them right into oblivion. You actually have to aid us out. Um, and also that ' s, that ' s truly, you know, anything that
can'assist us end up being extra reliable. We wear ' t need to become bigger. No'one ' s looking to include canopy, there simply'aiming to settle it. So, they ' re not running around all over the region, put exhausts right into the air. Workers get on the roadway, unneeded traffic, and so on. So, whatever you people can do to aid us become much more effective, that ' s considerably appreciated.Zack, if you ever truly have questions around, um, just how we ' re operating and also exactly how points are becoming much more efficient, you recognize, you can connect to us. I wear ' t assume the sector is dying, I think it ' s coming to be elder as well as we ' re able to supply to'the consumer for a lower cost. So, it is going to grow. You just have to help us compete versus the black market which is expanding quicker than us.Thank you.-Thanks, Mr. Tale. – Chair, we have no more speakers. – All. I ' ll return it to the board for consideration as well as activity.-[ faint] -I ' ll second. -Okay. We have an activity by Supervisor McPherson and also 2nd by Supervisor Friend.
All right, as … -Exactly what [inaudible]. Just what are we voting on? – Suggested actions today are merely to'approve as well as submit the monetary year 2022-2023 very first quarter report on marijuana licensing workplace operations, as well as two, to guide personnel to return on or prior to January 31 to 2023 with the 2nd quarter report for ' 22 -' 23.-Okay. So, the, uh, the choice -We ' re not voting on option?-No, we ' re not. The motion does not consist of any one of the options. -Out [faint] Is that correct?-Just a couple of suggestions …- Where it …-That type of checking out 'right here. -You understand, I ' ll just include. I, you know, I ' m considerate to the fact, Greg, that you said, where Manager Caput that, you understand, by January of this coming year throughout-The next report, you ' ll no more be sitting below. You will certainly have to to, uh, handle this issue.And … I suggest, I assume truly so given that marijuana does affect the fourth area considerably, it makes sense that if we were to think about any type of modifications for the market that, it would certainly be done by your successor in the 4th district. Supervisor Good friend?-Yeah, Mr. Chair. If I simply may ask that inquiry, when we first started on the cannabis licensing workplace records due to the fact that we were, we had like a high degree of instability and also instability within the market and also you actually make use of words minstrel 40 as steady in your record. We were obtaining quarterly records and I ' m simply not certain if that, if we require to continue to do that.
I indicate that the toughness are within the citizen, or within the retail side, uh, the strings possibly, , although I assume we'' re gon na have a policy conversation regarding this in November, about components that retail like delivery and also that kind of stuff, but it might not be in our county in specific with that, with the underlying labor and also land costs, for example, in the farming or also manufacturing or distributing elements of it.And consequently, possibly those aren ' t components that our area really props up I suggest, that ' s, that ' s how it is. As well as that ' s why, um, in from the situation of history because I ' ve been with this so lots of times, I assume that that ' s why I ' m advocating for simply keeping. It ' s not that we ' re drawing reg-unna -It ' s not that we ' re drawing regulations back that are essential. It is just come down and also it ' s, it ' s the lowest it ' s ever before been ever.And that has- There ' s a lot much more. As it is said, we ' ve -And also an additional caller claimed, you know, we were right here, uh, we ' re paying taxes, we ' re paying payroll, we paid millions of bucks in payroll this year, um, and we ' re-we ' re extremely fired up regarding the future.I suggest, we wear'' t have anything else that we obtain quarterly reports on it.So, I'' m just asking now that the market stabilizing whether it makes sense as component of this suggested activity to actually route you to not have quarterly reports, but have it might by yearly or something that result. If you'' re comfy with that, Supervisor McPherson. ' 22, still ' 22, yeah.
I suggest, we wear'' t have anything else that we obtain quarterly reports on it.So, I'' m simply asking now that the industry stabilizing whether it makes feeling as component of this recommended action to really guide you to not have quarterly records, yet have it may by yearly or something that impact. The information is not altering a whole lot quarterly to quarterly, quarter to quarter, , as well as really, um, all that you'' re seeing is, you recognize, kind of the step-by-step notifications of offenses that may get filed on the enforcement side. I think truly the– It'' s the financial piece that you'' re constantly more interested in in terms of what'' s happening with the CBT with the Cannabis Service Licensing Tax. If you'' re comfy with that, Supervisor McPherson. ' 22, still ' 22, yeah.
