>> Supervisor Arenas: HERE.

>> Clerk: AND CHAIRPERSON ABE-KOGA.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: HERE.

>> Clerk: YOU HAVE A QUORUM.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU. I AM MARGARET ABE-KOGA, CHAIRPERSON OF THE COMMITTEE, HERE WITH MY VICE CHAIR SYLVIA ARENAS. AT THIS TIME, PLEASE TURN OFF OR MUTE ALL ELECTRIC DEVICES, INCLUDING CELLPHONES, THAT MAY INTERRUPT THE MEETING. WE'LL GO TO THE SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA, THE PUBLIC COMMENT. THIS IS FOR PERSONS WHO WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE ON ANY MATTER WITHIN THE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OF THE COMMITTEE THAT IS NOT ON THIS AGENDA. NO DISCUSSION OR ACTION OF ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA EXCEPT UNDER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE ON A NON-AGENDIZED ITEM SHOULD REQUEST TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME BY GIVING A REQUEST ON SPEAK FORM TO THE DEPUTY CLERK IF YOU ARE IN THE CHAMBERS OR BY USING THE RAISED HAND ICON IF ATTENDING VIRTUALLY. CYNTHIA, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT. WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT AND GO TO ITEM THREE, WHICH IS APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT CALENDAR AND ANY CHANGES TO THE AGENDA. SUPERVISOR ARENAS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CHANGES OR COMMENTS?

>> Supervisor Arenas: NO, NONE. THANK YOU, CHAIR.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU. AND ALL SECOND THAT. COULD YOU TAKE A ROLL CALL -- OH, ANY PUBLIC COMMENT?

>> Clerk: FOR QUESTION REQUESTS TO. CAN YOU, MOTION CARRIES.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: WE'LL GO TO ITEM 4 ON THE REGULAR AGENDA TO RECEIVE A REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND OFFICE OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING REGULAR TODAY PROTECTION OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING, AND ARE THE HOUSING AND HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAMS. SINCE WE HEARD THIS PRESENTATION AT THE LAST MEETING, I WANTED TO SUGGEST THAT WE GO STRAIGHT INTO DISCUSSION. IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE? LET'S DO PUBLIC COMMENT. ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO GO SPEAK?

>> Clerk: WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO SPEAKERS.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR ARENAS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM?

>> Supervisor Arenas: I DO. I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE PROGRAMS. AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE IS HOW CAN WE FURTHER INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPMENT? WHAT WOULD IT MEAN TO TIE IT TO MAYBE GEOGRAPHIC GOALS? THERE IS DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTY THAT BUILD MORE THAN OTHERS. AND HOW COULD WE CONTINUE TO INCENTIVIZE DEVELOPMENT IN THE PARTS WHERE THERE IS HIGHER RESOURCES THAT WE KNOW THAT WHEN FOLKS OR FAMILIES, ESPECIALLY FAMILIES, COME INTO BETTER RESOURCED NEIGHBORHOODS, THAT THEY HAVE BETTER LONG-TERM OUTCOMES, ESPECIALLY ARE YOU FOR THE CHILDREN.

>> THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. CONSUELA HERNANDEZ, DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE. MAYBE I'LL KICK OFF THE RESPONSE AND THEN INVITE THE STAFF TO SHARE MORE INFORMATION. I THINK FIRST IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE COUNTY'S ROLE IS IN THE PRODUCTION OF HOUSING. AS WE KIND OF SHARED IN OUR PRESENTATION LAST MONTH, HISTORICALLY, OUR ROLE WAS VERY LIMITED. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND, THAT SHIFTED THE WAY THAT CITIES WORK WITH THE COUNTY IN THE PRODUCTION OF HOUSING. BUT -- AND THAT RELATIONSHIP CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE -- WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH RESOURCES AS WE DID BEFORE. THERE ARE STILL STEPS THAT THE CITY STAFF TAKE WITH NATALIE AND HER TEAM, TO ACCELERATE PRODUCTION, TO GIVE YOU A FEW EXAMPLES. AT YOUR BOARD MEETING LAST MONTH, WE APPROVED TWO PROJECTS THAT ARE NOT FUNDED WITH MEASURE-A. ONE IS IN THE CITY OF CUPERTINO, A PROPERTY THAT THE CITY OF CUPERTINO OWNS, MARY AVENUE. NATALIE AND HER TEAM VERY DEVELOPER AND THE CITY OF CUPERTINO TO MAKE SURE THAT PROJECT WAS IN OUR PIPELINE. AND THAT WE HAD A SMALL ALLOCATION OF FUNDING BUT THAT WOULD ALLOW THE PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD. VERY SIMILARLY, WITH THE CITY OF CAMPBELL, THEY ARE ONE OF OUR SUPERVISOR ARENAS, AS YOU KNOW, CAMPBELL IS ONE OF OUR SEVEN CITIES THAT MAKE UP THE J.P.A. FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, AND WE WERE ABLE TO LEVERAGE HOME DOLLARS, PLHA FUNDING WITH CAMPBELL AND DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH THE CITY OF GILROY. THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WILL CONTINUE BEYOND THE HOUSING BOND. AND NATALIE, MAYBE YOU CAN SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR CONVENINGS WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND HOW YOU KEEP THEM ENGAGED.

>> SURE. THANK YOU, CONSUELO. SO WE DO MEET REGULARLY WITH ALL OF OUR DEVELOPERS, BOTH COLLECTIVELY AS A GROUP AND INDIVIDUALLY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PIPELINES. WE ALSO MEET AT LEAST MONTHLY WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE CITIES IN OUR COUNTY FOR TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEIR LOCAL NEEDS AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT THEM. SO WE ALSO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND ALL OF THE MAJOR AGENCIES IN OUR COUNTY FOR A COUNTY-WIDE MANAGED PIPELINE. SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING WITH BOTH OF THE DEVELOPERS AND THE CITIES TO TRY TO IDENTIFY THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.

>> Supervisor Arenas: AND WHEN YOU SAY -- IT IS ONLY THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS THAT YOU CONSISTENTLY MEET WITH?

>> WE MEET MOST COMMONLY WITH AFFORDABLE DEVELOPERS. BUT WE DO SOMETIMES HAVE MARKET RATE DEVELOPERS REACHING OUT TO US, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO PARTNER. SO WE MEET WITH THEM AS -- MEET WITH THEM AS WELL. IT IS -- WE DO MEET WITH CITIES ALSO TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND ARE THERE WAYS TO PARTNER ON OTHER PROJECTS. WE HAVE OUR BMR PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WHERE WE INNING VENEZUELAN SEN AT THIS SURPRISE INCLUSIONARY HOMEOWNERSHIP PROJECTS. THERE ARE SOME PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS AS WELL.

>> Supervisor Arenas: THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Arenas: WE BOTH SIT ON VTA AND ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT -- IS THE MARKET RATE HOUSING DROPPED OFF FROM THE PROJECT, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE THAT PENCIL IN AND ARE FOCUSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE HAVE SEEN THAT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. POTENTIALLY IN SOME PROJECTS, I THINK THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING IN MAYBE MORE MARKET RATE HOUSING FOLKS AND TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY MODELS THAT THE CITIES ARE WORKING WITH. ANY FUTURE -- CURRENTLY THE CITY OF SAN JOSE, GOOGLE HAS THE CITY ON HOLD FOREVER. THAT MEANS THAT'S A FOREVER PAUSE POTENTIALLY. COULD BE TOMORROW. IT DEPENDS ON WHEN GOOGLE COMES BACK, IF AND WHEN THEY COME BACK. IN THE MEANTIME, THERE IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA THAT HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY A LOT OF DEVELOPERS IN ANTICIPATION OF GOOGLE COMING TO SAN JOSE. AND I AM SURE THAT THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THOSE PROPERTIES? AND I WONDER IF YOU HAVE SPENT ANY TIME THINKING ABOUT OR MAYBE BRINGING THEM IN TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THEY THINKING OR MAYBE THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OF SAN JOSE OR THE -- ANY OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE DEALING WITH DEVELOPMENT OR PLANNING, TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTIES? HOW CAN WE POTENTIALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT THEY HAVE BECAUSE THEY ARE BASICALLY STUCK WITH A LOT OF PROPERTIES. AND AS WE KNOW, OFFICE SPACE IS NOT -- YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T FILL IT. WE CAN'T FILL IT. I WONDER IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FOLKS WHO ARE JUST SITTING ON LAND IN SAN JOSE.

>> THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT WHENEVER THE MARKET RATE DEVELOPERS CAN'T MAKE THEIR PROJECTS PENCIL, WE ARE THEIR FIRST PHONE CALL. IT'S VERY NORMAL. SPECIFICALLY IN DOWNTOWN. WE PROBABLY HAVE COMBED THROUGH ALL OF THE MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT. AND IN THE EARLY DAYS OF MEASURE-A, WE WERE VERY OPPORTUNISTIC. OF THE EDEN PROJECT, THE THE NAME CHANGE, THAT WAS AN ORIGINAL MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT THAT GOT CONVERTED INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE WERE ABLE TO BUY ALL OF THE ENTITLEMENTS AND WERE ABLE TO RECAST IT AS AFFORDABLE IN A VERY EFFICIENT WAY. SIMILARLY, SAN CARLOS, MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENT. WE MADE THE SAME PIVOT. TODAY, THE GAP BETWEEN WHAT'S MARKET -- IN ORDER FOR US TO MAKE IT WORK FOR US, IT WILL NOT WORK FOR US IN THE SAME WAY THAT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR THE MARKET. WE WOULD NOT BE WILLING TO PAY THE VALUE THAT THEY HAVE ON THE LAND AND THE ENTITLEMENTS. WE WOULD WANT A DISCOUNT AND THE DEVELOPER IS NOT GOING TO THROUGHS ON THAT ACQUISITION COST. SO, YOU KNOW, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE CITIES, PARTICULARLY SAN JOSE AND MAYBE EVEN MOUNTAIN VIEW ARE THE TOP TWO. A LITTLE BIT OF SUNNYVALE THINK, BUT REALLY IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS, IT'S A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITIES. LIKE WHAT INCENTIVES CAN THEY PROVIDE. VERY FAMILIAR WITH SAN JOSE. RECENTLY, YOU KNOW, WE ARE SEEING MARKET RATE HOUSING THAT IS OPEN, THAT IS STRUGGLING TO LEASE UP. AND NOW SAN JOSE IS INTRODUCING THIS KIND OF INCENTIVE PROGRAM. AS A COUNTY SAFETY NET, OUR PRIORITY IS ALWAYS ON THE LOWER INCOME. AND SO IF WE WERE GOING TO ALLOCATE NEW RESOURCES TO HELP FILL A VACANT BUILDING, IT WOULD BE TO HELP THE LESSON COME, NOT NECESSARILY MARKET RATE.

>> Supervisor Arenas: RIGHT.

>> WITH THAT SAID, SUPERVISOR, THE TEAM CAN CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE CITIES AND EVERY IDENTITY CITY IS DIFFERENT IN THEIR STRATEGY. AND WE CAN REPORT BACK NEXT YEAR WHEN WE GIVE THE ANNUAL REPORT IN SOME OF THOSE ENGAGEMENTS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: IF THE LAST COST OF DEVELOPMENT STUDY SESSION THAT THE CITY OF SAN JOSE HAD, THERE WAS SOME INSIGHT THAT WE PICKED UP, A LOT OF REALLY GOOD VALUE TO THE STUDY, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS RECOGNIZED IS THAT A LOT OF THE HIGHER END APARTMENTS AND CONDOS IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, THAT ARE PRETTY PLUSH, RIGHT? AND LAVISH, ARE -- IS WHERE PEOPLE WERE FROM -- WHO ARE COMING INTO THE TECH WORLD AND WHO MIGHT, YOU KNOW, BE ON VISAS, AND JUST COMING REALLY NEW INTO THE AREA, MIGHT LAND. BUT WHAT THEY NOTICE IS THAT THOSE FOLKS LIKE TO LIVE COLLECTIVELY. AND BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO DO THAT AND BECAUSE THEY SEND MONEY BACK HOME TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, THAT WHAT THEY WERE DOING IS ACTUALLY BUMPING A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE MIDDLE CLASS UNITS, RIGHT? AND SO THE MORE AFFORDABLE -- THE MORE AFFORDABLE UNITS WERE GETTING UTILIZED BY THE FOLKS WHO ARE ACTUALLY MAKING PRETTY -- REALLY GOOD MONEY IN THE TECH WORLD. AND SO IT JUST -- YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY IT SHOWS HOW -- IT -- OBVIOUSLY IF THEY CAN MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS AND THE OTHER FOLKS ARE STRUGGLING, AND ANYWAYS, THAT IS A TREND AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRENDS ARE CURRENTLY IN TERMS OF HOUSING, OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE -- EVERYTHING IS BUT THE -- AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LIKE LLCs ARE BUYING UP SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IN THIS AREA, MAKING IT REALLY HARDER FOR FAMILIES TO ENTER AND BREAK INTO THAT MARKET. I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY IMPORTANT TO FIGURE OUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THAT ARE NOT -- YOU KNOW, WHERE WE ARE NOT IN A VACUUM HERE. AND SO IT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING TO FIGURE OUT LIKE WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER PRESSURES THAT ARE HAPPENING ECONOMICALLY IN NOT ONLY JUST THE CITY OF SAN JOSE, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S THE LARGEST AND I THINK PROBABLY ONE OF THE ONES THAT PRODUCE THE MOST HOUSING. BUT THE OTHER AREAS, IT'S JUST -- IT'S JUST AS IMPORTANT TO FIGURE OUT WHERE ARE PEOPLE MOVING TO. WHERE ARE THEY SHIFTING. HOW CAN WE ALSO BE RESPONSIVE -- OR AT LEAST RECOGNIZE -- MAYBE IT'S NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THAT PARTICULAR MARKET RATE HOUSING. BUT IT IS WHEN THEY ARE BUMP -- BUMPING FOLKS OUT FROM THE MORE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES OR -- IN THAT CASE, THE MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES WILL THEN BUMP OFF THE FOLKS IN THE LOWER INCOME LEVEL, OF COURSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW, BUT I WOULD -- I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THOSE FOLKS HAVEN'T STEPPED UP AGAIN INTO A MORE EXPENSIVE HOUSING, RIGHT? JUST DOESN'T USUALLY MAKE SENSE UNLESS THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED OR LIVING WITH A PARTNER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ANYWAYS, IT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING JUST TO PUT SOME OF THE DOTS TOGETHER IN THE REMEMBERS OF WHAT IS GOING ON. AND MAYBE SOME OF WHAT THE MAJOR CITIES THAT ARE PRODUCING A LITTLE BIT MORE OR HAVE MORE CAPACITY TO RECOGNIZE WHAT THEIR DIRECTIONS ARE FOR THEIR FUTURE PROPERTIES. JUST SO THAT WE KNOW AND WE TAKE INVENTORY AND WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE TRENDS ARE THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MAKING THINGS WORK. ANYWAYS, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS VERY COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OUT. I HAD A FEW QUESTIONS. REGARDING SOME OF THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE LESSONS LEARNED REPORT. THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE TOWARDS CONSOLIDATION -- A CONSOLIDATED SYSTEM WHERE MULTIPLE FUNDED FUNDING SOURCES USE MOUs TO RELY ON A SINGLE REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS. AND I HEAR OVER AND OVER ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS HAVING TO STACK FINANCE AND THAT TAKES TIME. AND SO I AM WONDERING, IS THERE MOVEMENT AT THE -- THIS WOULD BE INCLUDING THE STATE LEVEL, TO MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION FOR CONSOLIDATION.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. THERE IS MOVEMENT AT THE STATE LEVEL. I BELIEVE THERE IS A NEW STATE AGENCY CALLED CHHA THAT IS BEING FORMED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING GROUPS AROUND WHAT THE STRUCTURE WILL LOOK LIKE. I THINK THAT IS A VERY PROMISING FIRST STEP. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE IT. -CONTACT OR ID-LACK BUT DOES INCLUDE A LOT OF SOFT FINANCING SOURCES THAT OUR DEVELOPERS REGULARLY USE.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT. AND THEN I KNOW THAT THE BIG ISSUE IS FUNDING AND I READ IN THE PAPER THE OTHER DAY THERE IS 40,000 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS IN THE PIPELINE WAITING TO BE BUILT AND THAT'S A CHALLENGE NOW. THERE IS A STATE BOND INITIATIVE I BELIEVE AND I WAS WONDERING IF -- I KNOW THERE WAS ONE IN THE PAST AND -- DID MOST OF THAT FUNDING GO TO LIKE THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM? OR HOW DID THAT GET ALLOCATED? AND THEN ARE THERE ANY GUIDELINES FOR THIS COMING ONE YET ABOUT HOW THAT ALLOCATION MIGHT BE IF IT PASSES?

>> THANK YOU SUPERVISOR. THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF HOUSING BONDS. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHICH YOU ARE REFERRING TO. I KNOW NATALIE CAN SPEAK TO THERE WAS A BOND UNDER SB2 THAT GENERATED THE NO PLACE LIKE HOME PROCEEDS.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: OKAY.

>> AND THAT WAS OVER $100 MILLION. AND THE BEAUTY OF THAT PROCESS IS THE COUNTY WAS DESIGNATED AFTER WE APPLIED AS AN ALTERNATIVE COUNTY AND SO WE GOT THE FUNDING DIRECTLY AND NATALIE CAN SPEAK TO THAT. IN THE CURRENT DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE PROPOSED STATE-WIDE $10 BILLION HOUSING BOND, WE HAVE SENT THAT MESSAGE ABOUT WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF YOU DID THE SAME THING THAT YOU DID WITH LIKE NO PLACE LIKE HOME. BUT THAT DECISION HAS NOT BEEN MADE. THERE ARE CONVERSATIONS AROUND BEST PRACTICES TO MOBILIZE THE DOLLARS, BUT I THINK NATALIE MENTIONED THIS NEW ORGANIZATION -- ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE AT THE STATE. I THINK THEY MIGHT BE MORE MOVED TO FILTER IT THROUGH THAT ORGANIZATION THAN TO DO WHAT THEY DID WITH NO PLACE LIKE HOME. NATALIE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO SHARE MORE.

>> HHA.

>> THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AS WELL, CONSUELO. I BELIEVE THERE IS TWO DIFFERENT STATEWIDE BONDS BEING PROPOSED FOR $10 BILLION. I THINK ONE IS THE FRONT RUNNER NOW. I BELIEVE CURRENTLY MORE THAN HALF OF THE FUNDS ARE BEING PROPOSED TO BE PUT IN THE MHP PROGRAM. A NEW POTENTIAL SOURCE OF PRESERVATION MONEY ALSO INCLUDED.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. GOING TO OUR MEASURE-A AND OUR GOALS AND HOW WE ARE ON TRACK TO ACTUALLY EXCEED THEM, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS. I WAS LOOKING AT THE GEOGRAPHIC GOALS AND NOTICED THAT OF THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS, WHICH IS US, WE HAVE NO APPROVED UNITS. AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS IS OR IS THERE OPPORTUNITY? YES.

>> SURE, THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. ONE THING TO NOTE ABOUT THE TABLE IS THIS IS A REFLECTION OF UNITS THAT WE ARE AWARE OF. THAT HAVE BEEN FUNDED BY THE BOARD. IT DOES NOT REFLECT WHAT IS PLANNED IN THE PIPELINE. SO NATALIE, MAYBE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT 10 KIRK.

>> THANK YOU CONSUELO. YES, WE HAVE A COUNTY OWNED SITE AT 10 KIRK AND THE BOARD HAS APPROVED THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AS OUR SELECTED DEVELOPER. WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ON THAT SITE. WE DO EXPECT MULTIPLE PROJECTS COULD BE ACCOMMODATED ON THAT SITE. SO VERY EXCITED.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: WHICH TAKES ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION. IT'S REGARDING THE -- THESE NUMBERS. AND I WAS MADE AWARE BY ONE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT LIKE THEY MAY NOT HAVE NUMBERS HERE, BUT THEY HAVE INCLUSIONARY ZONING. SO WITHIN THEIR MARKET RATE DEVELOPMENTS, THEY HAVE AFFORDABLE UNITS. AND SO I WAS -- I AM INTERESTED IN AND WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A REPORT ON THAT. SO DOING A REPORT BY CITY AND THE NUMBER OF LIKE JUST OUR MEASURE-A UNITS. BUT A TOTAL OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN THE LAST, LET'S SAY, WELL, SINCE MEASURE-A STARTED. SO 10 YEARS. JUST TO GET A BETTER SENSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EACH OF OUR COMMUNITIES. I REMEMBER LIKE IN MOUNTAIN VIEW WE HAD THOSE NUMBERS AND IT WAS VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT WE WERE THE -- WE HAD THE MOST -- WE BUILT -- MOUNTAIN VIEW BUILDS THE MOST UNITS PER CAPITA OUT OF ALL OF THE CITY AND I THINK EVERYBODY IN THE BAY AREA, WE ARE THE DEFENSEST CITY IN THE BAY AREA OR ONE OF THEM. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ACTUALLY SEE ACTUAL AFFORDABLE UNITS IF WE CAN GET THAT. IF WE CALL THE CITY THEY HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

>> THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND WORKING WITH JACQUELINE AND HER TEAM. THERE IS THE AN UHC D.A. PR THAT PRODUCES EVERY JURISDICTION'S PROGRESS TOWARDS THAT, THAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST LESS STAFF INTENSIVE I HAVE OPPORTUNITY AND MAYBE WE REPORT OUT ON THE PRIOR PLANNING PERIOD. DOES THAT SEEM ACCEPTABLE?

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU, YES. AS SUPERVISOR ARENAS ASKED, I KNOW THE MARKET HAS CHANGED FOR MARKET RATE HOUSING. I TRY TO KEEP TABS AND CHECK IN WITH FOLKS THAT BUILD IN MOUNTAIN VIEW. I ASK WHAT'S GOING ON AND THERE IS DEFINITELY A SLOWDOWN AND THIS IS THE CHALLENGE WITH THE ARENA NUMBERS, IS THAT EVEN THOUGH AS A CITY, MOUNTAIN VIEW IS ON TRACK TO FULFILL THEIR 11,000 UNITS, THE MARKET DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE BUILDING OF THEM RIGHT NOW. AND I SAW THIS BACK IN 2009 AS WELL. AND SO THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT I HAVE JUST BEEN HARPING ON FOR, YOU KNOW, YEARS, IS THAT THE CITIES CAN DO EVERYTHING THEY -- THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING BUT IT'S THE MARKET AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT DETERMINES THE PRODUCTION OF THESE UNITS AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE STATE DOESN'T -- THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO RECOGNIZE THAT AND THAT'S BEEN THE FRUSTRATION POINT FOR MANY OF US I WOULD SAY. I ALSO KNOW THAT EVERY COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT AND FRANKLY I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND LIKE BECAUSE VTA HAS MANY PROJECTS AND UNDERSTAND ESPECIALLY SAN JOSE'S MARKET WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I KNOW IN MY COMMUNITY. SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THERE IS A, IF IF THEY ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF SUMMARY OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE MARKET RATE WORLD AS WELL. BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, I DO BELIEVE THAT BUILDING UNITS, OF ALL KINDS, DOES HELP TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUPPLY THAT HELPS TO JUST PUT A -- LOWER THE PRESSURE OF THE PRICING OF HOUSING. SO I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IF WE COULD DO A LITTLE SUMMARY. AND THEN FINALLY, THE -- GOING BACK TO FINANCING WHICH IS A BIG CHALLENGE. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF EFFORTS BEING EXPLORED AT THE BAY AREA HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY. THEY ARE LOOKING AT A REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM SIMILAR TO THE NEW YORK CITY HOUSING CORPORATION. HERE LOCALLY WORKING PARTNERSHIPS IS WORKING ON A SOCIAL HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM. WHICH I BELIEVE IS GOING TO BE -- THERE IS A REFERRAL THIS EVENING IN SAN JOSE AT THEIR CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO ASK THE CITY TO EXPLORE THAT FURTHER. I WOULD LIKE TO QUESTION WE GET ANNUAL DATE ON THAT AND MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN THESE DISCUSSIONS. TO SEE WHAT MIGHT WORK BEST FOR US HERE IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.

>> YES, THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. K.J. AND I HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH THE WORKING PARTNERSHIP FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR MODEL AND THEN I SIT ON THE ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR SOME OF THE WORK RELATED TO THE NEW YORK CITY MODEL AND WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. SO WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU THAT REPORT BACK AND DID YOU WANT ALL OF THIS IN ONE OFF-AGENDA, INCLUDING THE 10-YEAR -- OR THE PRODUCTION OF HOUSING BY LOOKING AT THE ARENA ANNUAL REPORTS, THE SUMMARY OF THE MARKET RATE HOUSING. THE ECONOMY, ECONOMICALLY WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON TO SUPERVISOR ARENAS' POINT, AND THE BAFA AND PRESENT EFFORTS ALL IN ONE REPORT BACK?

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: IF THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO DO IT IN ONE REPORT.

>> OKAY. WE'LL TRY. WE'LL TRY AND SEE IF WE CAN CAPTURE IT ALL IN ONE REPORT IN ONE OFF-AGENDA OTHERWISE WE MIGHT SPLIT IT INTO TWO.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR ARENAS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YEAH, YOU KNOW, THE LAST THING I WANTED TO JUST MENTION IS THAT WE CONSISTENTLY KNOW THAT THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT IS HEAVILY CENTERED AROUND PERSONNEL, LABOR, RIGHT. LABOR IS THE HIGHEST COST FOR OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE BEING UTILIZED IN THE PRODUCTION OF MARKET RATE OR WHATEVER KIND OF HOUSING ALSO MATTERS, RIGHT? BUT SECOND TO THAT IS THE COST OF LABOR. AND WE KNOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH -- THIS HAS BEEN, I DON'T KNOW, DECADES, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ELECTRICIANS. RIGHT? AND ELECTRICIANS CAN CHARGE WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY WANT. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF WHATEVER LABOR FIELD AND WE HAVE POTENTIALLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPACT EITHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OR CAREER CHANGE FOR THE FOLKS COMING INTO OUR SYSTEM, TO OFFER SOME PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT FALL UNDER OUR -- UNDER SOME OF THE LABOR -- THE UNION PROGRAMS. AND APPRENTICESHIPS. HOW ARE WE REALLY CONNECTING THE DOTS THAT -- BECAUSE WE HAVE CAPTIVE AUDIENCES IN THE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF OUR SYSTEM. NOT TO SAY IT'S OUR JOB, BUT IT MIGHT ALSO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO TAKE THAT ON WITH THE DIFFERENT CITIES, BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS -- IT IS ALWAYS LABOR AND FOR THAT REASON, THERE IS SOME FOLKS WHO MAY NOT UTILIZE UNION SHOPS, RIGHT? BUT THEY ALSO CAN'T BENEFIT FROM SOME OF THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITIES. OR SOME OF THE CITIES, I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF THE CITIES IF THEY HAVE TO COMPLY IN THE SAME WAY. BUT THAT CITY OF SAN JOSE HAS TO. BUT I WONDER IF THERE IS ANY OPPORTUNITIES TO, AS YOU ARE SPEAKING TO SOME OF THOSE MARKET RATE HOUSING DEVELOPERS, THAT THE UNION FOLKS TO MAYBE MAKE SOME REAL HEAD, SOME REAL HEADWAY RIGHT NOW WHILE PEOPLE NEED A DIFFERENT JOB, THEY -- YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUTSIDE COUNTIES, INTO THE CITY OF SAN JOSE, SO I -- I THINK THAT THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SOMEHOW GET INVOLVED. I AM NOT SAYING IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY. BUT CERTAINLY IF THERE IS NATURAL POPULATIONS THAT ARE IN OUR SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE, THAT WE COULD OFFER IN A VERY MEANINGFUL WAY. TO FACILITATE THE ENTRY INTO SOME OF THOSE APPRENTICESHIPS, I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE ARE ALREADY PARTNERING. I MEAN, I KNOW SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REALLY INTENTIONAL. THAT IT COULD HELP CHANGE THE PATHWAY FOR SOME OF THE FOLKS TO HAVE DIFFERENT KIND OF CAREER OPTION. SO IF WE COULD MAKE THAT PART OF THE REPORT AS WELL. THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN MITIGATE LABOR COSTS BY INVESTING IN APPRENTICESHIPS WITH THE POPULATION THAT IS INVOLVED IN OUR COUNTY SYSTEM.

>> THANK YOU SUPERVISOR. I MIGHT REQUEST THAT BE A SEPARATE ITEM, ONLY BECAUSE THE OFFICE OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DOES NOT TRACK THIS AREA OF WORK. THE OTHER ASKS ARE VERY TYPICAL OF THE WORK THAT THEY ALREADY DO. AND DON'T REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION FROM THEIR CURRENT WORK PLAN. THIS LABOR COMPONENT IF MAYBE I CAN TAKE THAT ON THROUGH THE COUNTY EXEC'S OFFICE AND WOULD BE WITH A FEW OF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES, THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THE FACILITIES AND FLEET TEAM, ROADS, THERE IS JUST A DIFFERENT LENS OF IT NOT JUST THROUGH HOUSING. AND SO IF WE CAN ACCEPT SEPARATE THAT OUT AND COME BACK.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. IT COULD BE THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT, THAT FALLS UNDER YOU. SO, YEAH. THAT SOUNDS FINE.

>> Supervisor Arenas: THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE MAY I GET A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE REPORT.

>> Supervisor Arenas: I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE REPORT. AND TO REQUEST THE REPORT OF -- I THINK WHAT YOU HAD ASKED FOR WERE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS THAT WERE BUILT OVER LAST 10 YEARS PER DISTRICT. A SUMMARY OF WHAT IS -- THE TRENDS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE MARKET RATE INDUSTRY, AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ADDITIONAL.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: YEAH. SO THE -- THE FINANCING EFFORTS WITH THE BAFA AND --

>> Supervisor Arenas: THE FINANCING EFFORTS RELATE TO BAFA.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE OTHER ONE.

>> Supervisor Arenas: AND WORKING PARTNERSHIPS. AND THEN THAT REPORT IS ONE. AND THEN THE SECOND REPORT IS THE REPORT THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT, LABOR COSTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COUNTY.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU.

>> Clerk: SUPERVISOR ARENAS, APOLOGIES I THINK YOU ALSO WANTED KIND OF A BIT OF A -- YOU KNOW, THIS TENSION BETWEEN THE NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THE PUSHING DOWN FROM THOSE THAT ARE EITHER FINDING IT MORE AFFORDABLE TO BE THERE THAN SOME OF THE PLUSH MARKET RATE.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YES, THANK YOU.

>> WE'LL WORK ON INCORPORATING THAT. SO I TRACKED FOUR RESPONSES. THANK YOU.

>> AND THE LABOR ONE IS THE SECOND.

>> Supervisor Arenas: I FORGOT MY OWN.

>> I THINK IT WAS BUILT INTO THE LANDSCAPE. MAYBE A LANDSCAPE OF THE MARKET INCLUSIVE OF MARKET RATE, AND SOME OF THESE TRENDS THAT WE ARE SEEING WITH THE IMPACTS IT HAS ON LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS THAT GET PUSHED OUT. WE'LL THINK CREATIVELY I FEEL ABOUT HOW TO REPORT THAT BACK, K.J. UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING MORE TO SHARE. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

>> Supervisor Arenas: K.J. YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS, I KNOW, I CAN FEEL IT.

>> NO, I WOULD JUST ADD THAT I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF FOLKS THAT DO THIS -- THERE IS REAL GUIDED RICH ANALYSIS OUT THERE. I THINK IT JUST CAN BE OVERWHELMING AND A LOT. SO PERHAPS WE CAN IN THAT SUMMARY PULL TOGETHER SOME OF THE PIECES THAT WE THINK ARE THE MOST HELPFUL AND USEFUL, AND PUT THAT TOGETHER IN A SUMMARY.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YEAH. AND INCLUDED IN THAT, THIS WAS MY OWN REQUEST, IS TO ALSO RECOGNIZE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY LLCs THAT WE HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE NATION BUYING UP SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF HOMES AND THEN JUST SITTING ON THE INVENTORIES IN OUR COUNTY SO WE CAN RECOGNIZE WHAT IS ALSO IMPACTING RENTERS. THIS WAS MOSTLY TO DO WITH THE RENTER TRENDS. I APPRECIATE IT.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU FOR SUMMARIZING ALL OF THAT AND THE MOTION AND I'LL SECOND IT.

>> Supervisor Ellenberg: VICE CHAIRPERSON ARENAS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YES.

>> Clerk: AND CHAIR ABE-KOGA.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: EYE.

>> Clerk: THE MOTION CARRIES.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GOING TO ITEM FIVE INCOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHICH IS TO RECEIVE A REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT RELATING TO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED REGARDING THE PERMITTING PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT AND THIS WAS CARRIED OVER FROM OUR LAST MEETING. SO ACTUALLY, I THINK WE HAD THE PRESENTATION YOU DO HAVE ONE. OKAY. SO I'LL HAND IT OVER TO YOU.

>> YES, THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, JACQUELINE ONCIANO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT. CHAIR ABE-KOGA, AND VICE CHAIR ARENAS. WE ARE RETURNING BACK TO RESPOND TO THE REFERRAL THAT WE RECEIVED ON FEBRUARY 19th. WE ARE STANDING UP OUR PEOPLE-CENTERED SERVICES RELATIVE TO OUR PERMIT PROCESS TRANSFORMATION. WE HAVE THIS MORNING TO PRESENT TO YOU STEWART OR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. MICHAEL ÁLVAREZ, OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL AND DEPUTY DIRECTOR OVER OUR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. DR. UNDERWOOD FROM MARILYN UNDERWOOD FROM THE BRANCH OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND ONE OF OUR SENIOR -- ONE OF DR. UNDERWOOD'S SENIOR STAFF RELATIVE TO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. I WILL KICKOFF THE PRESENTATION TO -- NEXT SLIDE -- FIRST SLIDE. WE ARE NOT UP JUST YET.

>> JUST ONE MOMENT WHILE WE GET THE PRESENTATION UP.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND SHAWN WHITE MAN WHO IS FACILITATING OUR POWERPOINT PRESENTATION. HE'S FROM THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICE. WHILE WE ARE WAITING FOR THE PRESENTATION TO COME UP, I WILL JUST LAY OUT THE FOUNDATION FOR WHAT WE WERE ASKED FROM THE DEPARTMENT. ONE WAS CLARIFICATION AS TO THE 34 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME FROM OUR CONSULTANT BARRIE DUNN. WE HAD 13 PRIORITIZED RECOMMENDATIONS. TWO OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 34 IN THE NOT PRIOR 13 PRIORITIZED AREAS WERE OUTLINED BY SUPERVISOR ARENAS, PR6 AND PR10, RELATIVE TO WELL DEVELOPMENT AND SEPTIC SYSTEM. WE'LL SPEAK TO THAT ITEM TODAY. DR. UNDERWOOD WILL ADDRESS THAT ITEM. THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR US TO CLARIFY THE INTEGRATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE PRIORITIZE THIS INFORMATION. WE WILL SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL. AND THEN THERE WAS A REQUEST FOR US TO CONSIDER INTEGRATION OF THE A.I. PLATFORM AND STEWART PATRY -- WILL SPEAK TO THAT ITEM. SO I WILL BEGIN IN JUST A MOMENT. GREAT, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO THE -- THIS SLIDE INDICATES OUR WORK PLAN SCHEDULE. THE 2025 GRAY AREA INDICATES THE AREAS THAT WE HAD STARTED WORK ON. PRIOR TO WORKING WITH BARRY DUNN, WE HAVE ALREADY BEGAN TO IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENTS INTO OUR PERMIT SYSTEM, REACHING OUT TO THE PUBLIC FOLLOWING OUR CORE VALUES OF CARE WHERE WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE INFORMATION THAT WE ARE PRESENTING TO THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE A TRAINING PROGRAM. WE WERE MAKING OUR VERBIAGE CONSISTENT. AND THEN WRITING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. SO THE GRAY AREA WHICH IS 2025, YOU WILL SEE THESE ARE AREAS THAT WE HAD ALREADY BEGUN WORK ON. 2026 THE BLUE AREAS ON THE PRESENTATION INDICATES THE WORK THAT WE ARE COMPLETING THIS YEAR. AND THE PURPLE AREA, 2027, OUTLINES WHERE WE ARE HEAD AND 2028 THE BROWN COLOR. THESE PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES INTEGRATE IN THIS WAY. THE FIRST ITEM WE HAVE TO ADDRESS IS STANDARDIZING OUR TERMINOLOGY. RIGHT? BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH HOW WE ARE DELIVERING INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. NEXT WE HAD THE ISSUE OF OUR ONLINE APPLICATIONS. BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR AND GIVING THE PUBLIC ADEQUATE TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS, TO GET CLARIFICATION. PART OF THAT ONLINE APPLICATION OUTLINES OUR SITE CONSTRAINTS. WE PRODUCE A DOCUMENT THAT GIVES THE PUBLIC AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CONSTRAINTS THEY MAY FACE AS THEY ARE LOOKING TOWARDS DEVELOPING THEIR APPLICATIONS. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR THE PUBLIC BECAUSE WHEN WE HAVE THESE ONLINE PAYMENTS IT GIVES THEM OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS OF THE OTHER SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS. WHEN WE HAVE THE ONLINE APPLICATIONS OUR MEETINGS WITH THE PUBLIC, WE OFTEN WILL HAVE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. ROADS AND AIRPORTS AND OUR FIRE REPRESENTATION -- REPRESENTATIVES AT THOSE MEETINGS. SO WE SPEND QUITE A BIT OF TIME WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND BEFORE THEY INVEST IN THE ACTUAL APPLICATION, WHAT CHALLENGES THEY MAY FACE SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS. THEN WE ARE TRACKING OUR -- WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO TRACK THROUGH A DASHBOARD HOW WE ARE DOING. HOW SUCCESSFUL ARE WE AT GETTING APPLICATIONS THAT COME IN THAT ARE COMPLETE. SO WHEN YOU SEE OUR 13 PRIORITIES, THEY ARE INTEGRATED BECAUSE WE HAVE TO UPDATE OUR CHECKLIST. WE HAVE TO HAVE OUR APPOINTMENT SYSTEM. WE UPDATE OUR SOFTWARE. AND I WANT TO SAY PART OF THIS MEETING WITH THE APPLICANT, BECAUSE IT IS INCLUDES THE INNER DEPARTMENTS, THAT'S WHERE THE INFORMATION COMES WITH THE WELLS, THE PR6 AND PR10. WHEN WE ARE IDENTIFYING THE SITE CONSTRAINTS, WE ARE NOT JUSTIFYING ZONING OR SITE DEVELOPMENT, WE ARE IDENTIFYING ALL OF THE CONSTRAINTS. IF IT'S GEOLOGIC, IF THEY HAVE CHALLENGES WITH DRILLING WELLS, IF THERE IS A HIGH WATER TABLE. THAT IS WHAT COMES UP WHEN WE DRIVE THE RG -- OUR GIS PROPERTY PROFILE. THEN GOING INTO -- NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO YOU CAN SEE WHEN WE -- WHEN WE OUTLINED OUR 13 PRIORITIES, HOW THEY INTEGRATE AND WORK WITH EACH OTHER. I WANT TO SPEAK JUST A LITTLE BIT TO THE POLICIES ARE. SO WE HAVE PEOPLE, PROCESS, POLICY AND TECHNOLOGY. WE IDENTIFY -- IDENTIFIED THESE FOUR AREAS AS THE AREAS THAT INTEGRATE IN OUR TRANSFORMATION AND OUR PERMIT PROCESS. ONE AREA THAT WILL TAKE LONGER AND YOU CAN SEE THIS IN OUR OUTLINE IS OUR TECHNOLOGY. WHILE IT'S CONSTANT AND AS FAR AS INTEGRATING A.I., WE ARE WORKING WITH IN THE COUNTY SYSTEM IDENTIFYING GOOD WAYS THAT WE CAN UTILIZE A.I. SO AT THIS POINT I WILL TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO STEWART PATRY, OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR, OF ADMINISTRATION. STEWART.

>> THANK YOU, DIRECTOR ONCIANO. SO, YEAH, JUST IN RESPONSE TO CHAIR ABE-KOGA'S COMMENTARY ON TECHNOLOGY AND THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. WE HAVE KIND OF BEEN IN ALIGNMENT WITH THOSE THOUGHTS. WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED SOME DEMONSTRATIONS ACTUALLY FROM A FEW DIFFERENT VENDORS IN THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SPACE AND MY PARTNER OVER HERE, MICHAEL ÁLVAREZ, BUILDING OFFICIAL, WE HAVE ALREADY KIND OF IDENTIFIED SOME KEY AREAS THAT MIGHT HELP US WITH OUR BUSINESS MODEL. TWO BEING APPLICATION SCREENING AND BUILDING CODE RESEARCH. WHICH ARE REALLY TO HELP BUILD ON SOME EFFICIENCIES, IN OUR SOFTWARE SYSTEM. THAT OUR STAFF CAN USE WHEN SCREENING AND PROCESSING APPLICATIONS. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ACTIVELY ENGAGE AND TRY TO SEE WHERE WE CAN EMBED THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY. JUST TO NOTE, CURRENTLY OUR I.T. TEAM, IS ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH SYSTEMATICALLY THROUGH OUR SOFTWARE SYSTEM. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ACTIVE PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY TO DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT, ALSO ON OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT AND DOING A FULL CODE ENFORCEMENT OVERHAUL. THAT'S TO JUST BUILD EFFICIENCY, BOTH FOR THE PERSPECTIVE OF OUR PEOPLE-CENTERED SERVICE AND BEING ACCESSIBLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS OR INDIVIDUALS TRYING TO EXPRESS CONCERNS IN THE COMMUNITY BUT ALSO TO IMPROVE -- YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A VERY SMALL TEAM IN THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SECTION AND TRYING TO IMPROVE THEIR EFFICIENCIES TO PROVIDE BETTER EVERYBODY SERVICE, AND AS WE GO THROUGH AND CONTINUE TO SORT OF LOOK AND MAKE IMPROVEMENTS IN SOFTWARE SYSTEM, WE ARE TRYING TO NOW IDENTIFY THOUSAND THESE NEW TECHNOLOGIES WITHIN THE A.I. SPACE, WHERE WE CAN REALLY EMBED THOSE. WE ARE WORKING WITH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MULTIPLE VENDORS THAT WE WORK WITH. OUR FLAGSHIP SOFTWARE PROGRAM IS A SELLA, AND WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THEM. WE ACTUALLY HAVE A MONTHLY MEETING WITH THEIR LEADERSHIP NOW WHICH HAS BEEN A GREAT IMPROVEMENT FOR US TO GET KIND OF RIGHT SIZE SOME THINGS WITHIN OUR SOFTWARE. SO WE'LL CONTINUE THOSE EFFORTS. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. THIS SLIDE WE JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT OF THOSE 34 RECOMMENDATIONS, AND REALLY RECOGNIZE STAFF'S WORK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN IN PROGRESS. OF THE 34 RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE PREVIOUS TWO SLIDES, 11 HAVE ALREADY -- WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED WORK AND WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROJECTS GOING. AS WELL AS OUR PARTNERS AT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. THEY ARE GOING TO SPEAK IN A SECOND HERE. JUST ON HIGHLIGHT A FEW DIRECTOR ONCIANO MENTIONED AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE OUR APPLICATIONS TO MIDDLE PROCESS, SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR CONSULTANT UNDER PR2. APPROXIMATELY R4 AND FIVE ARE ALL INTERRELATED TO THAT EFFORT. AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE LAND USE ENTITLEMENT APPLICATION SUBMITTAL PROCESS CHANGES THAT WE IMPLEMENTED BACK IN OCTOBER. AND WE ARE ALREADY SEEING BENEFIT BOTH FROM OUR STAFF INTERNALLY, BUT ALSO FROM OUR APPLICANTS. THIS EFFORT IS REALLY TO ENSURE THAT THE APPLICATIONS THAT WE RECEIVE UPON INTAKE ARE MORE COMPLETE. WE HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT AN APPLICANT IS TRYING TO BUILD. AND THERE IS NO SURPRISES ONCE THEY GET TO THE FIRST ROUND OF PLAN CHECK. REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE OR -- SORRY, IN THE CASE OF PLANNING IT'S JUST PLAN -- APPLICATION REVIEW. THROUGH THAT PROCESS TRYING TO BE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF MORE COMPLETION SET UPON INTAKE. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO DR. UNDERWOOD, DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.

>> GOOD MORNING SUPERVISOR ABE-KOGA, AND SUPERVISOR ARENAS, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WHAT'S GOING ON IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH BRANCH OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY, SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE, IT'S BEEN A NICE RELATIONSHIP BUILDING OUR CONNECTION WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND TRYING AGAIN TO HAVE BETTER COMMUNICATION AND IMPROVE OUR PROCESSES TOGETHER AND HOW WE TALK WITH EACH OTHER AND HOW WE WORK WITH EACH OTHER AND I THINK WE HAVE QUARTERLY MEETINGS THAT I THINK ARE VERY VITAL THAT. WE ARE MAKING -- HAVE MADE A LOT OF CHANGES AND ARE STILL PLANNING ON SOME. SOME THAT ARE PART OF THIS PROCESS THAT WERE COMING OUT OF BARRY DUNN BUT JUST SOME RECOGNIZING THAT AS AN AGENCY, WE DO ALWAYS WANT TO IMPROVE OUR PROCESSES FOR OUR CLIENTS. TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO GET THROUGH THE PROCESS. RIGHT? BECAUSE IT CAN BE CONFUSING. SO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE AND ARE IN PLACE, WE HAVE A LITTLE OF CONSULTANTS THAT WE WORK WITH ON OUR WEBSITE AND HAVE HAD THAT UP FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. WE ALSO HAVE A LIST OF OUR CONTRACTORS. SO THE CONSULTANTS CAN DESIGN THE SEPTIC SYSTEMS, ONSITE WASTEWATER INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS. WE ALSO HAVE A LIST OF CONTRACTORS THAT CAN INSTALL THE SEPTIC SYSTEMS. WE ALSO SAY LIST OF WELL DRILLERS AND WELL SYSTEM OPERATORS. SO, AGAIN, ALL OF THESE ARE FOLKS THAT WE ARE NOT ENDORSING ANY ONE OF THEM BUT JUST SAYING THESE ARE FOLKS THAT WORK IN OUR COUNTY THAT WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN CALL UPON IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO -- NEED THEIR SERVICES. THE OTHER THING THAT WE RECOGNIZE IS THAT OUR WEBSITE NEEDED UPDATING. AS WEBSITES PARTICULARLY DO. WE HAVE DIFFERENT PROCESSES FOR DIFFERENT THINGS. IF YOU ARE DOING A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAN SAY EXPAND YOUR HOUSE, THAT MIGHT REQUIRE DIFFERENT APPROACHES AS FAR AS WHETHER OR NOT YOUR SYSTEM IS ADEQUATELY SIZED. WE FIRST CREATED HANDOUTS AND YOU I THINK I GOT THEM AS PART OF OUR PACKAGE, THAT PUTS THE WORK, THE FLOW OF THE WORK IN TO PERSPECTIVE FOR EACH OF THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF SITUATIONS. ALSO WE HAVE SOME FOR MINOR ADDITIONS OR ACTION ITEMS WHERE YOU DWELLINGS, FOR INSTANCE IF YOU ADD A POOL. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THE POOL WHERE YOUR SYSTEM REPLACEMENT AREA IS FOR INSTANCE. SO SOME OF EASY THINGS TO MAKE SURE OF AND OVER THE COUNTY BUT OTHER ONES LIKE THE NEW DEVELOPMENT OF MORE EXTENSIVE I HAVE AND IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY REPAIR. WE WANT TO SPELL OUT THE STEPS IT WE CAN TAKE TO HELP YOU GET THAT SEPTIC SYSTEM REPAIRED. ALL NOT JUST WITH THE UNINCORPORATED BUT THE CITIES. LOS ALTOS HILLS HAS A FEW ONSITE WASTEWATER INSTRUMENT SYSTEM AS DOES THE CITY OF SARATOGA AND A FEW OTHER CITIES SHARING THOSE. THOSE WERE USED AS THE BASIS FOR UPGRADING OUR WEBSITE. EACH SYSTEM HAS A SEPARATE WEBSITE AND CAN FLOW THROUGH AND HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS. WE WILL SAY THAT'S IN A SENSE MORE FOR THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. MANY CONSULTANTS WE WORK WITH ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT OUR FLOW PROCESSES BUT WE WANT THESE -- OUR FLOW TO MAKE SENSE TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND WANTS TO IMPROVE IT. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE. WE ARE WORKING ON A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS. THE ONSITE WASTEWATER MANUAL, WHICH IS REALLY THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF HOW THE POLICY TURNS INTO PROCESS FOR OUR CONSULTANTS AND CONTRACTORS. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THAT. AND HAVE BEEN REDLINING THAT. WE HAVE HOPE TO GET THAT OUT TO THE PROCESS WHICH INVOLVES COUNTY COUNSEL, PUBLIC REVIEW AND REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARDS THAT OVERSEE US ALSO HAVE TO APPROVE THOSE ONSITE MANUALS. THERE IS ANOTHER BIGGER DOCUMENT CALLED THE STANDARDS AND POLICY MANUALS AN OVERARCHING DOCUMENT THAT IS REALLY A PLANNING DEPARTMENT DOCUMENT BUT HAS FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN IT. AND WE ARE ALL COMMITTED TO WORKING ON THAT. AND MAKING THAT HAPPEN BY 2028. LASTLY, I'LL SAY, TOO, ON THE TECHNOLOGY SIDE, WE, TOO, ARE UNDERGOING A CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY. THE OVERARCHING SOFTWARE THAT WE WORK UNDER, THAT BOTH TRACKS OUR DAILY ACTIVITY, OUR INSPECTION RESULTS ACROSS ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS. AND REALLY HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO FOR LAND USE TO ALLOW A LOT MORE ONLINE SUBMITTALS. PORTAL THAT WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN A PORTAL FOR PEOPLE TO SUBMIT THROUGH ALSO ALLOW DASHBOARDS. SO THAT WE CAN REALLY SHOW THE PUBLIC IT SEE WHERE THEIR PROCESS IS AT AND UNDERSTAND THAT. AS WELL AS FOR STAFF TO TRACK THEIR TIME AND TRACK THEIR ACTIVITY. SO THAT WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND WE HOPE THAT'S IN THE WORKS AND BE ROLLING OUT IN THE 6-9 MONTH TIME FRAME. I THINK THOSE ARE THE SORT OF THINGS THAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT. AGAIN, WE ARE ALWAYS INTERESTED IN ADVANCING AND GETTING BETTER AT WHAT WE DO AND MAKING IT LESS CRAZY FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO WORK THROUGH OUR SYSTEM. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANY FEEDBACK THAT'S POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE THAT. I AM NOT SURE WHO I AM SUPPOSED TO TURN IT OVER TO.

>> YOU CAN TURN IT OVER TO ME. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SYLVIA GALLEGOS, DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE AT THE FEBRUARY HLUET, FOR THIS ITEM, VICE CHAIR ARENAS ALSO INQUIRED AS TO THE QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE OF THE DEVELOPERS THAT WERE INTERVIEWED AND LAND USE CONSULTANTS DURING THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, WHICH COMMENCED IN DECEMBER. SO IN THE REPORT ON PACKET PAGE 208, WE SHOW YOU A MATRIX THAT PROVIDES THE LIST. I'LL OFFER AS AN ASIDE THAT IN SOME CASES IT WAS CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO HAVE THEM PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS. TIME IS MONEY AND, YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY DIRECTLY TO THEIR BENEFIT. IMMEDIATELY. WE DID GET REALLY RICH INFORMATION. AND WE FOCUSED ON THOSE WHO HAD EXPERIENCE IN OUR ACTUAL LAND USE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS AND ALSO IN OBTAINING BUILDING PERMITS. FOR MORE CONTEXT, I DO WANT TO SHARE ALSO, AND THIS IS SET FORTH IN ATTACHMENT "C" IN PACKET HE HAD PAGE 217, WE INTERVIEWED OVER 70 INDIVIDUAL STAKEHOLDERS AND STARTED WITH THE BOARD. THIS BEGAN IN DECEMBER OF 2024 BEFORE CHAIR ABE-KOGA JOINED THE BOARD BUT WE DID INTERVIEW THE SUPERVISOR AND YOU GAVE US GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGED. IN ADDITION TO THE DEVELOPERS, WE ENGAGED EIGHT SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF THE SAN MARTIN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. AND ABOUT 48 COUNTY AFFILIATED STAKEHOLDERS. INCLUDING EIGHT FROM OUR -- EIGHT CAPITAL PROJECT MANAGERS FROM FACILITIES AND FLEET BECAUSE WE ARE THE BUILDING PERMIT AGENCY FOR COUNTY INITIATED PROJECTS. AND SO WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I THINK AT THE END OF THE PRESENTATION THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THE FOLKS THAT WE INTERVIEWED. WE ALSO -- IT'S NOT REFLECTED HERE. BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT PART OF THE FORMAL BARRIE DUNN INTERVIEWS BUT WE DID INTERVIEW OTHER DEVELOPERS, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, AFTER LOW CONSTRUCTION AT YOUR BEHELD YOU MAY RECALL EARLY IN 2024 WE ARRANGED A MEETING SO WE DID HAVE INFORMAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM. BUT NOT FORMALLY IN THIS PROCESS, SO THEY ARE NOT LISTED HERE. WITH THAT WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

>> SO WITH THAT, JACQUELINE ONCIANO, DIRECTOR OF PLAN, WE JUST WANT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. BUT WE WANT TO SAY THAT WE'LL CONSISTENTLY WORK TO UPDATE OUR WORK PLAN. AND WORK WITH THE BOARD MEMBERS TO INCORPORATE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT SO THAT AS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE ARE INCORPORATING WHATEVER THE BOARD -- YOU MAY HEAR FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS. BARRY DUNN WILL WORK TO -- WORK WITH US TO UPDATE OUR PROCESS AND PROCEDURE MANUAL. WE HAVE SECURED THEM AS PART OF OUR CONTRACT TO HELP US WRITE THAT DOCUMENT. SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT DOCUMENT COMPLETED. AND THEN THEY WILL ALSO BE HELPING US TO COMPLETE OUR TRAINING PROGRAM. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT IS CONSISTENT. LIKE THIS IS ALWAYS EVOLVING, RIGHT, AS WE ARE ONBOARDING NEW STAFF, AS WE ARE CHANGING OUR PROCESS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STAFF IS WELL EDUCATED ON THE PROCESS AND THE SIMPLIFICATION SO THAT WHEN THEY ARE AT THE COUNTER THEY ARE TRANSMITTING THIS INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC HOW TO GET THROUGH OUR PROCESS. THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION, WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

>> LET ME JUST AMPLIFY ONE COMMENT THE DIRECTOR MADE. WHICH IS THAT AS WE RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THIS COMMITTEE, WARREN DID HE EVER RING TO REAL TIME ADJUST THE WORK PLAN. SO TO THAT END AT THE LAST MEETING. ASKED US ABOUT THE PRY ON OR AT THIS OF PR10. YOU'LL SEE IN OUR CHART. I'LL DESCRIBE THAT WE HAVE ACCELERATED IT AND WE WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE SENSE OF URGENCY THAT WAS COMMUNICATED IN THE LAST BOARD MEETING. AND WITH THAT WE'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE COMMITTEE FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. LET'S GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT. ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WISH TO GO SPEAK.

>> Clerk: WE HAVE NO REQUESTS TO SPEAK FOR THIS ITEM.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR ARENAS DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

>> Supervisor Arenas: THANK YOU I TRULY, TRULY APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION AND THE RESPONSE TO BOTH MY PR6, PR10, CONCERNS. AS YOU KNOW AND PROBABLY IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY THERE IS AREAS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO BUILD ON AND MIGHT REQUIRE SEPTIC OR FOLKS WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO AFFORD, I DON'T KNOW, OTHER KINDS OF ALTERNATIVES IF PERMITTED. BUT FOR MY DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, THEY

HAVE TO ABIDE BY WHAT IS ALLOWED. WE ALL HAVE TO ABIDE BY WHAT IS ALLOWED. AND USUALLY THAT IS WELL OR SEPTIC. I APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON PR10. THINK I THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR FOLKS TO CONTINUE TO BUILD OR HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BUILDING IF THEY -- IF THIS ISN'T CLEAR, R THERE ISN'T ANY ENHANCEMENTS TO THE PROCESS FOR PERMITTING THAT. SO I WANTED TO ASK -- AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, FOR THIS ATTENTION TO THIS -- THE DETAIL OF -- TO THE RESPONSE. I WANTED TO ASK YOU, ON THE ATTACHMENT THE WORK PLAN IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE, I WASN'T QUITE CLEAR WHAT THE DIFFERENT COLORS MEANT. ON THE ACTUAL SCHEDULE. DOES THAT MEAN -- IF YOU CAN JUST TELL ME WHAT THAT MEANS?

>> SURE. THE DIFFERENT COLORS REPRESENT THE YEAR. JACQUELINE ONCIANO. REPRESENT THE YEAR. SO YOU'LL SEE THE BLUE IS ENCOMPASSED IN THE FOUR QUARTERS OF 2026. THE PURPLE REPRESENTS THE FOUR QUARTERS OF 2027. AND SO ON.

>> NO, I GOT THAT PART. I JUST WASN'T SURE WHY IT WAS FILLED IN. IS IT FILLED IN BECAUSE THERE IS WORK THAT WAS DONE IN THOSE YEARS TO ACCOMPLISH --

>> THE GRAY IS THE WORK THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED. THE BLUE REPRESENTS WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THOSE LIKE -- ROOK AT PR7. WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET TO R7 UNTIL QUARTER TWO. DO YOU SEE PR7.

>> Supervisor Arenas: UH-HUH.

>> OF -- AND WE DO IT JANUARY, IF HE CAN, MARCH, MARCH, APRIL, MAY. YEAH. SO WE DID IT JUNE BEING JULY, AUGUST, THAT WOULD BE QUARTER THREE. SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, -- DID I DO THAT WRONG? LET ME SEE. JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH IS THE FIRST -- APRIL, MAY JUNE WOULD BE SECOND. JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, WOULD BE THREE. THE THIRD QUARTER. AND THEN SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER WOULD BE FOURTH QUARTER, WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO INDICATE IS WHEN WE ARE -- WHEN WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE PARTICULAR --

>> Supervisor Arenas: GOT IT. OKAY. I TRULY APPRECIATE IT. I WASN'T SURE EXACTLY HOW TO READ THAT. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING HAT. IF THEY ARE BLANK, THAT MEANS IT IS ON HOLD. IT ISN'T PRIORITIZED AT THE MOMENT AND SO IF WE GO BACK TO PR7.

>> YES.

>> THAT MEANS THAT YOU DON'T DO WORK UNTIL THE THIRD QUARTER AND THERE AFTER, I GUESS YOU'LL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH THAT OR FINISH IT AND THEN UPDATE THE PLAN.

>> RIGHT. WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SHOW IS IN APRIL OF ECOND QUARTER WE WOULD ADDRESS PR7, AND WE WOULD COMPLETE IT -- OUR HOPE IS TO COMPLETE IT BY THE THIRD QUARTER. THE END OF THE THIRD QUARTER. SO THE REASON I HE YOU DON'T SEE ANY OTHER COLORS FILLED IN. AT THIS POINT WE ARE HOPING TO BE COMPLETE.

>> Supervisor Arenas: FOR ME IT WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL. I LOVE THE COLORS, THEY REALLY STANDOUT AND ALLOW ME TO APPRECIATE THAT NOW. BUT -- I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WOULD LOOK. BUT IF IT COULD BE A WRITTEN -- JUST EXPRESSING LIKE ANTICIPATING COMPLETION. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I KNOW IT WOULD MAKE THESE SQUARES A LOT BIGGER.

>> WE'LL CREATE A LEGEND THAT HELPS EXPLAIN THOSE THAT THE READER CAN UNDERSTAND THE MATRIX.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YEAH. OTHERWISE I THINK WELL, PR7 IS NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY WORK DONE FOR THE REST OF THE TIME REMAINING ON THIS IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. SO THEN IT CAN BE MISREAD AS NOT BEING PRIORITIZED OR IT COULD BE RED READ AS WELL IN THE THIRD QUARTER YOU'LL FINISH. BUT THEN THAT'S ASSUMING THAT YOU'LL FINISH, RIGHT? I GUESS IF WE COULD INDICATE HOW --

>> SURE. WE CAN DO THAT.

>> Supervisor Arenas: THAT WOULD JUST BE HELPFUL. BUT LOVE THAT -- I LOVE PR10. [ LAUGHTER ]

>> Supervisor Arenas: HOW IT'S CODED IN. BUT IT ALSO MEANS THAT THE WORK IS INTENSE AND IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT. AND IT'S GOING TO BE OVER A LOT OF YEARS. AND SO THERE IS A DRAW BACK ALSO. I MEAN, I GUESS MAYBE I WOULD LIKE FOR PR10 TO BE MORE LIKE PR7. I DON'T KNOW. ANYWAYS, I APPRECIATE -- I APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE, I APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEA A LITTLE MORE CLEAR ROADMAP. BUT I LOVE THAT THERE IS A ROADMAP, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE LISTING OF ALL OF THE FOLKS THAT WERE TAPPED ON THE SHOULDER TO GIVE YOU SOME FEET BACK. I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT JUST TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE KIND OF FEEDBACK THAT WAS DRAWN FROM OUTSIDE FOLKS AND I DON'T KNOW IF AT THIS POINT IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT, BUT MAYBE FROM HERE ON, YOU COULD -- WE CAN APPRECIATE WHAT DO OUR STAKEHOLDERS UNDERSTAND OUR PROCESS TO BE? AND WHAT ARE THOSE ISSUES THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE WITH THE SYSTEM. THAT WE ARE NOW PUTTING ON A SCHEDULE TO ADDRESS. AND WHAT ARE EVER THE ISSUES THAT INTERNALLY WE ARE HAVING A DIFFICULTY WITH THAT MIGHT HELP US, FOR EXAMPLE, THE -- I THINK YOU -- I HEARD THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PIECE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL NOT ONLY HE CAN PERSONALLY BUT INTERNALLY AS WELL, RIGHT? IT IS -- SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND, WHAT ARE WE GREENING FROM WHEN WE LACK OUTSIDE OF OUR SYSTEM. JUST SO THAT WE HAVE A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING. WE DID GET THE RIGHT FOLKS TO TO THE TABLE, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WE NEEDED HELP IN THIS -- IN THIS WAY. BUT OUR STAKEHOLDERS ARE TELLING US, YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE. I HAVE ONLY HEARD ANECDOTALLY FROM STAKEHOLDERS AS I HAVE MET WITH THEM. BUT DID, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THOSE TWO THINGS MERGE, RIGHT? THE ANALYSIS FROM THE CONSULTANTS, THE STAKEHOLDERS, AND THEN WHAT THE TEAM IS -- BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT NEED, RIGHT?

>> THAT'S AN SLANT SUGGESTION AND I WILL START AND THEN HAND IT OVER TO THE DIRECTOR. IN GENERAL, WHAT DEVELOPERS WANT IS A PREDOUBLE TABLE, TRANSPARENT PROCESS, THE END. HOWEVER TO YOUR POINT, THERE WERE SPECIFIC AREAS THAT THEY FOCUSED ON AND PRO I HAD INPUT I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA FOR FEEDBACK LOOP BOTH EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS TO SAY THAT YOU IDENTIFIED THESE AND THIS IS HOW WE ARE SOLVE THAT PROBLEM AND THAT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA AND WE CAN GO BACK AND TAKE THAT INPUT AND SORT OF MAP IT TO THE PARTS OF THE PROCESS WHERE WE ARE ADDRESSING THAT AND NOW I WILL TURN IT TO THE DIRECTOR.

>> THANK YOU. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN APPLICANT'S ROUNDTABLE WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE MEET QUARTERLY WITH THEM. AND WHEN WE ARE MAKING CHANGES TO OUR PROCESS, OUR TRANSFORMATION WE TAKE THOSE CHANGES TO THEM BEFORE WE IMPLEMENT THEM TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM IN THE PROCESS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: LOVE IT.

>> SO WE HAVE HAD THIS APPLICANT'S ROUNDTABLE MEETING SINCE I -- IT EXISTED PRIOR TO ME. BUT WE HAVE CONTINUED IT. WE HAVE NOT HAD A CURRENT MEETING WITH THEM AS WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THIS PROCESS. TO FORMALIZE OUR PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE. BUT WE OFTEN GET FEEDBACK FROM THEM AND MANY OF THOSE STAKEHOLDERS ARE IN THE LIST THAT WAS ATTACHED AS ONE OF THE EXHIBITS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YEAH. I CAN JUST SEE IT AT THE END OF -- NOBODY IS GOING TO BE LIKE 100 PERCENT HAPPY, NOT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO A REALLY GREAT JOB AT THE VERY END OF THIS. IT'S JUST TO ANTICIPATE THE DISSATISFACTION OF YOU KNOW, MULTIPLE NEEDS FROM OUR COMMUNITY INCLUDING THE STAKEHOLDERS. WHETHER THEY ARE -- THE FOLKS IN THE INDUSTRY, OR JUST HOME BUILDERS, YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WHO IS STEPPING INTO JUST TO BUILD THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE HOME. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SAY THIS IS WHAT WE GOT FROM LISTENING TO YOU, THIS IS HOW WE SOLVE FOR IT. OR, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE WAY THAT WE FEEL IS GOING TO HELP SOLVE FOR THAT. JUST SO THAT WE CLOSE THE LOOP ON THOSE -- ON THOSE FEEDBACK LOOPS. NOT TO SAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE TELL US TO DO. RIGHT? THAT'S NOT THE POINT HERE. BUT THAT WE HEARD THEM. THAT WE DOCUMENTED THAT. AND THAT WE ALONG WITH THE NEEDS OF OUR OWN INTERNAL PLANNING STAFF, OR DEPARTMENTS THAT IMPACT THE WHOLE PROCESS, THIS IS THE PROCESS THAT WE CAME UP WITH. JUST SO THAT THEY KNOW IT'S COMPREHENSIVE. YOU KNOW, THEY ARE NOT HOLDING OUR FEET TO THE FIRE BECAUSE I ONCE SAID THIS ONE PARTICULAR DONE., AND NOW IT'S GOTTA BE- BECAUSE WE -- WE ARE DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR THE WHOLE SYSTEM. NOT FOR A SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDER. AND WHEN I ASKED FOR STAKEHOLDERS TO BE HEARD, IT IS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS IT THAT MAYBE WE ARE NOT SEEING BECAUSE WE RE NOT THE USERS OF OUR SYSTEM. RIGHT? WE ARE INTERNAL AND SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO DISTINGUISH. AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATE HOW THOROUGH YOU HAVE BEEN, HOW VARIED THE FEEDBACK IS. IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT YOU ARE DOING THE BEST THAT YOU CAN TO INCLUDE EVERYBODY AND I KNOW IT'S A COMPLICATED SYSTEM. I CAN'T -- I -- YOU ARE THE EXPERT IN THIS AREA. I JUST KNOW THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS GIVING YOU FEEDBACK, SOMEHOW YOU HAVE TO SHOW THE WORK IN SOME WAYS. AND SO I JUST -- ANYWAYS, I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK AND HOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING UP ON THE ITEMS FROM OUR LAST MONTH' MEETING ON THIS TOPIC. I APPRECIATE AND THANK YOU FOR LAYING IT OUT. THIS IS THE TIMELINE IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I NOTICED -- I GUESS I'LL START WITH MY CONCERN I BROUGHT IT UP LAST NIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT ALL OF THESE ITEMS OR MOST OF THEM, ARE THEY INCLUDED IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET FOR THE DEPARTMENT? I WOULD ASK TO -- I GUESS WITH THAT, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT COST RECOVERY FEES. ARE MOST OF THESE ITEMS GOING TO BE A PART OF THAT.

>> MOST OF THE WORK IS STAFF TIME. AND SO WE'LL WORK AS HARD AND LONG, THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT HOURLY, TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK. AND IT IS TRUE THAT ANSWER INTERESTED IN INCREASING THE STAFFING RESOURCES APPROPRIATELY. AND TO THAT END. THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR IS WORKING ON A MODEL THAT I WILL INVITE HIM TO SPEAK TO TO INCREASE OUR FEES AND CHARGES TO GET CLOSER TO FULL COST ECOVERY. LET ME JUST INVITE THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR TO SPEAK.

>> YEAH, THANK YOU DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE GALLEGOS. CHAIR ABE-KOGA, WE HAVE BEEN BRINGING FORWARD TO THE BOARD MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THE THE -- OF FEE INCREASES ANDS ADDRESSING SPECIFICALLY THE SHORTFALL THAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST REALA DECADE IN TRYING TO CORRECT THIS. THAT BEING SAID, ALL OF THE TECHNOLOGY TYPE AND OVERHEAD COSTS ARE BEING EMBEDDED INTO OUR FEES. SO IF THERE IS ANY FUTURE IDENTIFICATION MAYBE TO YOUR POINT ON A.I. IF WE IDENTIFY MAYBE WE NEED TO BRING IN A NEW SOFTWARE COMPONENT. TO HAVE MORE EFFICIENCY AND APPLICATION SUBMITTALS. WE WOULD O FORWARD RECOMMENDING CHANGES TO OUR FEE STRUCTURE TO KIND OF IDENTIFY THAT. IT WOULD BE MART OF -- PART OF THE OVERHEAD EMBEDDED ACROSS ALL OF OUR FEES.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: OKAY.

>> BECAUSE OUR DEPARTMENT IS NOW MOVING FORWARD TO AN ANNUAL PROCESS OF UPDATING THE FEES I AM VERY HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE ARE BRINGING CITY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THIS COMMITTEE HOPEFULLY SCHEDULED FOR NEXT MONTH. TO BRING TO THE BOARD BEFORE THE START OF THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S OUR LAST KIND OF CATCH UP EFFORT.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: OKAY, GREAT.

>> AND EN THIS THE FOLLOWING CYCLE, WHICH WOULD BE FISCAL YEAR 2028. WE WOULD BE STARTING TO GO ON AN ANNUAL PROCESS EVERY YEAR ACROSS THE -- ACROSS THE DEPARTMENT. AND THAT WILL GIVE US THAT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS OR TO IDENTIFY IF WE HAVE INCREASED COSTS OR WE ARE PROPOSING INCREASED COST FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION, TO TO TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS IT THEN.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. THAT'S A GREAT ANSWER. I APPRECIATE THAT. LET'S SEE. I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THE PEOPLE-CENTERED SERVICES TRAINING, AND HOW WE PLAN TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF THAT WILL THERE BE KPIs OR APPLICANT SURVEYS TO TRACK THE EFFICIENCIES?

>> IF I MAY, JACQUELINE ONCAINO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT. SO ONE OF THE AREAS WE ARE LOOKING AT IS WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A SURVEY AT THE END OF PERMITS WHEN THEY RECEIVE THEIR PERMITS. AND WE ARE TRYING TO INNING OR DO OPERATE THAT SO THAT IT'S A POSITIVE. NOT A NEGATIVE. WE ARE IDENTIFYING QUESTIONS THAT WERE EASILY ANSWERED WHERE BEFORE APPLICANTS GET THEIR PERMITS ISSUED, WE WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO JUST ANSWER A SHORT SURVEY. AND WE WERE TRYING TO NOT HAVE IT BE MORE THAN FIVE QUESTIONS AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT ON OUR IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

>> GREAT. THANK YOU.

>> REGARDING CODE ENFORCEMENT, HOW ARE THE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL UP DATES REDUCED THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN ON STAFF COMPARED TO THE CURRENT SYSTEM? OH, YES, BUILDING OFFICIAL.

>> I'LL DEFER TO MICHAEL ÁLVAREZ, OUR EPUTY DIRECTOR. AND BUILDING OFFICIAL.

>> MICHAEL ÁLVAREZ.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: HELLO.

>> DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT. WOULD YOU IND REPEAT THAT GO QUESTION ONE MORE TIME THINK. I HAD IT AND THEN I JUST LOST IT.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: YES. REGARDING THE OVERHAULING OF OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT MODULE, HOW WILL THIS SPECIFIC TECHNICAL UPDATE REDUCE THE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN ON STAFF COMPARED TO WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE?

>> RIGHT, WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS WE HAVE -- WELL, IT WILL HELP US BETTER ORGANIZE THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, OUR BUILDING INSPECTORS, THAT SUPPORT CODE ENFORCEMENT, OUR LAND DEVELOPMENT EN SPECTERS THAT SUPPORT COLDEN FORCE. AND THE IMAGINERS, JUST BASICALLY ALLOW US TO TRACK THE PROCESS N ASELLA BETTER. IT HELPS THEM KNOW WHAT THEIR TASKS,, SCHEDULE IS. RIGHT NOW THOUGH IT THROUGH A SERIES OF EXCEL SPREADSHEETS AND OTHER TYPES OF AD HOC WAYS OF COMMUNICATING AND DEAL WITH IT. WE HAND HANDLE IT AND MAKE IT WORK, WE WANT TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT. SNAG PEEK CAN SEE RECOMMEND NEWSABLE TO THEIR TASK LIST SO THAT THEY DON'T LOSE SITE OF WHAT THEY NEED TO BE DOING. SHOULD NOT BE AS MUCH DOWNTIME.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: APPRECIA TE THAT. I HAVE HEARD OFTEN DEPENDING ON WHO YOU GET, YOU KNOW, INSPECTOR FOR INSTANCE IT, CAN CHANGE WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE, I HOPE THIS ALSO HELPS STANDARDIZE WHAT THE APPLICANTS ARE REGARDLESS OF HARDLESS OF WHO THE PERSONAL IS WHO GOES OUT TO DO THAT.

>> YES.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. IT ANSWERS IT ON THE CHART MOVING FORWARD, SINCE IT IS BROKEN COUNT QUARTERLY, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT QUESTION GET QUARTERLY UPDATES. NEXT QUARTER SEVERAL LOOK LIKE THEY ARE GOING TO BE COMPLETED. IF WE COULD DO THAT THAT WOULD BE IDEAL TO BE ABLE TO KEEP TRACK OF OUR PROGRESS. ANYTHING SMELLS ELSE? MAY I GET A POSITION FOR TO ACCEPT THE REPORT IT.

>> Supervisor Arenas: A I MAKE A MOTION TO STEP THE RAPT AND ASK FOR QUARTERLY UPDATES. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER REQUESTS?

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: I THINK THAT WAS IT.

>> Supervisor Arenas: REFER.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU AND I SECOND SECOND THAT.

BOARD, WE BEGAN -- OR ACTUALLY CONTINUED WORK THAT WE WERE DOING SPEAKING TO VARIOUS PLAYERS IN THE REGION AND IN SACRAMENTO ABOUT A PATH FORWARD, WHICH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT REALLY REQUIRES A MULTI-PRONGED STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES WORK AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL AS WELL AS WORK IN SACRAMENTO. WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HEAR FROM ERIN EVANS IS JUST MORE DETAIL ON SOME F HE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE IN SACRAMENT OWE. WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT AS YOU LOOK T THE BIG PICTURE OF HOW HOUSING POLICY IS SET IN CALIFORNIA. YOU HAVE A LOT OF PLAYERS AND WE ARE ONE OF 58 COUNTIES THAT HAVE A CERTAIN EXPERIENCE BUT YOU HAVE CITIES AND EVEN WITHIN THE COUNTIES DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE URBAN AND MORE RURAL COUNTIES. WITH THAT IN MIND ERIN WILL GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE AND THE EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS AND DISCUSSES THAT WE HAVE HAD WITH OTHER PLAYERS INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. WITH THAT, ERIN, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU, DAVID. AND GOOD MORNING TO THE COMMITTEE. I AM JOINING YOU FROM SACRAMENTO REMOTELY. SO AS DAVID INDICATED, WE HAVE BEEN DOING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WORK THROUGH THE FALL AND THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION THIS YEAR, WORKING PRIMARILY THROUGH THE URBAN COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATE. OF WHICH WE ARE A MEMBER. AND THE URBAN COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA HER SUED LEGISLATION TRYING TO GET AT SOME OF THE AIMS THAT WE HAVE HEARD EXPRESSED BY THIS COMMITTEE. AND THE FULL BOARD AS DAVID INDICATED THEY SOUGHT AN AN AUTHOR FROM AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN, LIKELY MORE, REG SLAY TOURS BUT WERE UNFORTUNATELY ABLE TO -- YOU BE ABLE TO SECURE AN AUTHOR TO MOVER THE BILL FORWARD. LEGISLATORS WERE ALLOTTED EWER BILLS THIS YEAR THAN IN PRIOR YEARS, THEY HAD 35 FOR THE FULL TWO-YEAR LEGISLATIVE SESSION. GIVEN THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR OF THE ESSION, THIS SOME NEARLY REACHED OR REACHED THEIR BILL LIMIT WHILE WE WERE DID THE THE URBAN COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA WERE LOOKING FOR AN OTHER AUTHOR. SO UNFORTUNATELY THAT DID NOT GET ANY TRACTION YESTERDAY, HOWEVER, I WILL SAY THE BILL INTRODUCTION DEADLINE HAS PASSED. WE HAVE WE HAVE SEEN MORE THAN 130 BILLS RELATED TO HOUSING ARENA. OUR TEAM THE URBAN COUNTIES TEAM AND OTHERS WILL BE GOING THROUGH ALL OF THOSE BILLS WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. MANY OF THEM SPOT BILLS AND SO THEY WILL HAVE TO BE AMENDED WITH ADDITIONAL SUBSTANCE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO WE'LL BE DOING A DEEP DIVE LOOKING INTO THOSE BILLS TO SEE WHETHER THERE IS ANYTHING THAT IS ON POINT AND OF INTEREST TO THIS BOARD. THANK YOU, DAVID.

>> I THINK WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT ABOUT THIS, IS THAT IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS, IT BECAME CLEAR WE ARE NOT ONLY COUNTY ACTUALLY FACING THESE CHALLENGES. THAT THE URBAN COUNTIES RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO DO SOMETHING AND THAT, IN FACT, THEY WERE WILLING TO TAKE THIS ON AS A LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY FOR THEM. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL. BECAUSE WE DO BELIEVE THAT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. IN ANY EFFORT TO CHANGE EXISTING LAW, THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THAT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS. AND SO NOW THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR THE URBAN COUNTIES NOT JUST SANTA CLARA COUNTY AND NOW IT'S A QUESTION OF US WORKING NOT ONLY WITH OUR DELEGATION BUT QUITE FRANKLY DELEGATIONS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CENTRAL CALIFORNIA TO SEE WHO AMONG THE LEGISLATORS IS WILLING TO TAKE THIS ON. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PROSPECTS WHERE THERE WERE SERIOUS CONVERSATIONS AND WE HOPE THAT THOSE DISCUSSIONS WILL CONTINUE. WITH THE HOPE THAT IN THE NEXT LEDGE SLAY TIFF SESSION THAT WILL TURN INTO A PROPOSED LEGISLATION. ONE THING THAT I WOULD NOTE, IS THE CHAMPION -- CHALLENGES THAT I THINK WE HAVE HAD GENERALLY IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IN TERMS OF FINDING AUTHORS THIS IE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN THIS PLAY OUT IN THE LEGISLATURE. NOT TOO LONG AGO, THE LEADERSHIP OF THE LEGISLATURE SET A LIMIT OF 35 BILLS THAT EVERY MEMBER CAN INTRODUCE OVER A TWO-YEAR CYCLE AND THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF THAT TWO-YEAR SICKLE, SO WE HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES WHERE EVEN MEMBERS OF OUR DELEGATION DIDN'T HAVE ROOM IN THEIR AGENDAS TO MOVE CERTAIN ITEMS FORE CARD -- FORWARD. IT'S PARTNER THAT WE HAVE HAD THE CONVERSATION. THERE IS AN INTEREST IT'S NOT JUST SEEN AS A SANTA CLARA PROBLEM BUT IT'S A PROBLEM THAT IMPACTS NUMBER OF URBAN COUNTIES AND THAT WILL BE CRITICAL AS YOU CAN IMAGINE ANY TIME A COUNTY MOVES A PROPOSAL FORWARD IT DOES ALERT CITIES THERE MAY BE A POTENTIAL ISSUE THAT HARMS THEM. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, AROUND THIS AREA AREA THERE IS A 0 SUM GAME AND I HINK THAT THIS PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AS WELCOME WE'LL CONTINUE SOUR DISCUSSIONS AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A PRIORITY FOR US AND THE URBAN COUNTIES AND THE ONLY OTHER THING THAT I WOULD ADD IS THAT WE ARE ALSO WORKING ON PARALLEL TRACKS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL TO SEE REGIONALLY WHAT WE CAN BE -- WHAT CAN BE DONE. BECAUSE WE DO THINK THAT IT HAS TO BE A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH. SO WITH THAT, WE ARE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, AND, AGAIN, THANK DIRECTOR ONCIANO AND HER STAFF FOR BEING AVAILABLE. A LOT OF TECHNICAL MEETINGS HAVE HAD TO HAVE -- HAD TO HAVE REALLY MOVED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FORWARD. AND WE'LL KEEP AT IT. THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU. DOES THAT COMPLETE THE REPORT OUT? GREAT. LET'S GET TO PUBLIC COMMENT ANY MEMBERS WISH TO GO.

>> CLERK: WE HAVE FOR REQUESTS TO SPEAK.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, BRING BACK TO COMMITTEE. SUPERVISOR ARENAS DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?

>> Supervisor Arenas: YES. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPORT, DAVID AND -- I'LL START WHERE YOU ENDED IN TERMS OF THE -- WHAT THE 35 LIMIT HAS CREATED. AND I WONDER IF YOU HAVE SEEN -- I DON'T KNOW, HOUSING IS KIND OF IMPORTANT. WHAT ARE -- WHAT ARE THE LEGISLATORS FOCUSING ON IN IF NOT ON HOUSING? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, WHAT IS IT THAT THEY ARE PRIORITIZING. EVEN IF OUR OWN DELEGATION. AS YOU MENTIONED.

>> I THINK ONE OF -- I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE IS A CLEAR ANSWER, IF I MAY HROUGH THE CHAIR. MADAM VICE CHAIR, I THINK THAT IT PROBABLY DEPENDS ON THE MEMBER ABOUT, YOU I WOULD THINK THAT -- I WOULD SAY TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST, AT THAT ONE THING THAT HAS SORT OF TAKEN OVER AS THE OP PRIORITY, FOR THE STATE, IS THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. AND SPECIALLY THE FEDERAL CUTS. I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN -- AND EVEN FOR OUR OWN WORK,.

>> Supervisor Arenas: RIGHT.

>> A BIG FOCUS HR1. AND THE UTS TO HR1. AND THAT ISN'T TO SAY HOUSING IS NOT A PRIORITY BUT I THINK THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THAT SPACE, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE CUTS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. AND BECAUSE THERE IS -- I THINK A VERY REAL FEAR THAT THAT THE SITUATION IS WORSE THAN THE ADMINISTRATION, GOVERN EARN NEWSOME'S ADMINISTRATION HAS INDICATED. AS YOU MAY RECALL BEFORE THE END OF 2025, THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYSTS PROJECTED A DEFICIT OF ABOUT 17, $18 BILLION. AND THEN GOVERNOR NEWSOME SAID IT'S ACTUALLY 3 BILLION AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THAT IN FACT THE TRUTH IS IN ARE IN THE MIDDLE AND IF IT IS IN FACT ANYWHERE NEAR 10 BILLION, THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE A VERY HEAVY TOLL ON THE MOST CRITICAL PROGRAMS. AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A FOCUS AROUND THAT. AND I THINK THAT QUITE FRANKLY, EVEN IN OUR OWN, YOU KNOW, LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM WORK, WE HAVE BILLS THAT WERE MOVING FORWARD AND BUT MANY F THEM ARE FOCUSED ON THE BUDGET PIECE BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF WHAT'S HAPPENED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: NO, CERTAINLY THAT HELPS. I AM JUST WONDERING WHAT KIND OF BILLS -- I GUESS NOW THAT -- OF COURSE, THE BUDGET IS FIRST AND FOREMOST. BUT IF WE DON'T CONTINUE TO KEEP OURSELVES FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE, WE'LL CONTINUE TO CREATE THIS, YOU KNOW, RELENT THE CYCLE. WHAT IS IT THAT THE LEGISLATORS ARE FOCUSED ON? IF IT'S RESPONSE TO THE BUDGET, WHAT KIND OF BILLS ARE YOU SEEING IN RESPONSE TO THAT TO MITIGATOR HELP PLAN FOR IT OR RESPOND.

>> AND I THINK BY THE WAY, THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROCESS, RIGHT? THAT IS ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE. STEPPING BACK IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET, THE MAY REVISE COMES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY. RIGHT? AND SO THE HOPE IS THAT BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, THAT ADVOCATES AND LEGISLATORS, INCLUDED, CAN INFLUENCE THE GOVERNOR TO DO THE RIGHT THING ON A NUMBER OF ISSUES AND THERE ARE BILLS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO PUSH SPECIFIC PROGRAMS THAT PEOPLE WANT TO RESTORE OR PROTECT. AND THE IDEA IS THAT THE GOVERNOR WILL THEN DO THE RIGHT THING, AND THAT THE MAY REVISE IN MID-MAY, WILL INCLUDING ALL OF THOSE CHANGES. NOW, REALISTICALLY, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD O SEE THAT HAPPENING TO THE EXTENT THAT MOST OF US WANT. AND SO A LOT OF WORK WILL HAPPEN BETWEEN MAY AND THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT TO FINALIZE A BUDGET AND THE ASK WILL BE FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO STEP IN. SO I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE WE ARE ACTUALLY REPORTING TO YOU THAT WE ARE BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES THAT YOU HAVE OUTLINES FOR US, WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF SB1422. WHICH IS SENATOR [ INAUDIBLE ] BILL THAT WOULD RESTORE COVERAGE OF MEDI-CAL FOR UNDOCUMENTED IN CALIFORNIA. RIGHT? SO THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE KINDS OF EFFORTS THAT LEGISLATE ORS ARE PURSUING. AND THERE ARE MANY BILLS ALONG THOSE LINES. THAT ARE CONNECTED TO HR1 THAT WE ARE TRACK AND COMPILING A LIST. OUR COUNTY EXECUTIVE WILL BE TESTIFY LATER THIS WEEK ON THURSDAY. ON HR1 RELATED IMPACTS. AND SO YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE HEARINGS FOCUS THIS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY BILLS, THIS IS NEGOTIATION. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DOING IS NEGOTIATING THROUGH THEM.

>> SUPERVISOR, PARDON ME, IT'S ERIN. IF I MAY ADD TO DAVID'S ANSWER.

>> Supervisor Arenas: YES, PLEASE. THANK YOU.

>> WONDERFUL. THANK YOU. I COULDN'T AGREE MORE WITH ALL OF THE APPOINTMENTS DAVID HIGHLIGHTED AND I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT THIS IS THE PHASE OF THE SESSION IN WHICH UDGET HEARINGS ARE REALLY UP FRONT AND CENTER. AND VERY HEAVILY FOCUSED ON HR1. AND OTHER IMPACTS. AND I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT IN PART BECAUSE IT'S QUITE CLEAR THAT THIS WILL REMAIN ONE OF THE TOP ISSUES HAT THE LEGISLATURE WORKS ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THROUGH BOTH THE BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE PROCESSES. BUT RIGHT AROUND NOW IS WHEREABIITY HEARINGS START TO TAKE PLACE, WE ARE JUST BEGINNING THAT PROCESS, SO TYPICALLY BY THE END OF BY APRIL, EARLY MAY WE'LL SEE WHICH OTHER LEGISLATIVE ISSUES WILL RISE TO THE TOP IN TERMS OF THEMES FOR THE YEAR OR REAL AREAS OF INTEREST FOR THE LEGISLATURE, BUT THAT IS AS DAVID REFERENCED JUST STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE.

>> IF I MAY ADD ONE MORE THING GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF HOUSING FOR US, FOR THIS BOARD, JUST KNOW THAT EVEN AS THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE ONGOING, ARE AROUND RP1 WE ARE FOCUSED AND CONTINUE CONTINUED TO PUSH ON HOUSING JUST LAST WEEK THE ASSEMBLY HOUSING COMMITTEE HAD A HEARING THAT INCLUDED A DISCUSSION ON AGRICULTURAL WORKER HOUSING. AND WE WERE ACTUALLY INVITED TO PRESENT AND SPEAK BECAUSE OF THE WORK SUPERVISOR ARENAS THAT YOU AND OUR STAFF DID ON AB3035. AND OUR DEPUTY COUNTY EXECUTIVE CONSUELO HERNANDEZ WAS THERE TO TESTIFY. ABOUT SOME OF THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING. WE KNOW HR1 HAS BECOME THE BIGGESTISH IN SACRAMENTO BUT WE ARE NOT LOSING TRACK OF HE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE AND YOU WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO MAKE SURE THAT SANTA CLARA IS AT THE TABLE. AND QUITE FRANKLY, AND THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT SANTA CLARA AS THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND IT WAS COVERED IN THE MEDIA OF AWARD S WELL.

>> Supervisor Arenas: IS THIS FOR OSORIO'S BILL?

>> YES.

>> Supervisor Arenas: GOT IT, OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT. I APPRECIATE THE CONTINUED WORK ON THIS. YOU KNOW, SYLVIA, WHEN WE FIRST -- MY VERY FIRST MEETING IN HLUET IT WAS SIMITIAN LIKE I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY UPDATES ON THIS ANYMORE. AS YOU GET TO DO ON YOUR VERY LAST YEAR OR ONE OF YOUR LAST YEARS OF YOUR SERVICE. TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT OF WHAT YOU WANT AND DON'T WANT ANYMORE. AND I REALLY THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO LOSE HOPE THERE. YOU AND SYLVIA HAVE REALLY TURNED IT AROUND AND OF COURSE CONSUELA WHO HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE TEAM AND I THINK WE HAVE REALLY SHOWN WHAT WE CAN O COLLECTIVELY. IN TERMS OF LEGISLATION, AND NOW WE HAVE TO ADD MEAT TO THE BONES IN TERMS OF MAKING THAT LEGISLATION REALLY EAN SOMETHING IN OUR OWN BACKYARD, WHICH IS THE NEXT STEPS AND I WOULD ALTHOUGH OF TO SEE IF WE CAN CONNECT FFLINE. BROWSE ONE, IT IS -- TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND, TO GET HIS ACROSS THE FIN LINE IS A FEAT OF ITSELF. RIGHT? CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE THAT WAS INVOLVED. NOW WHAT DO WE DO THE REG SOLUTION. NOW HOW DO WE ATTRACT AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS TO THE AREA. AND I HAVE HAD POSITIVE CONVERSATIONS AROUND THAT. BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO OFF TRACK ON THIS. I KNOW IT'S PART OF OUR NEXT -- OUR NEXT ITEM. BUT LET ME GO BACK BACK TO THIS ITEM AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT THOSE TRENDS LOOK LIKE. WE ARE COMING CLOSER TO APRIL, MAY SO SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY INTERESTED IN. OTHER THAN OF COURSE, IT'S GOING TO BE BUDGET. IT'S GOING TO BE BUDGET, BUDGET, BUDGET. AND OBVIOUSLY THE BILLS ARE COMING OUT IN RESPONSE TO THAT. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I AM PART OF A BAG AND WE HAVE LEGISLATIVE JOINT ADVOCACY PROGRAM. THE WHAT WE DID IN -- I THINK T WAS JANUARY. IN JANUARY, WE ADDED TO THE LANGUAGE THAT EXISTED FOR MTCNA BAG'S LEGISLATIVE JOINT ADVOCACY JOINT PROGRAM. I MADE SURE TO ADD -- TO PRIORITIZE THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THE CONSTRAINTS OF UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES. FOR THEIR GOAL -- THE GOALS THAT SURROUND THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS DETERMINATION AND THE THEN THE ARENA GOALS I DID THAT BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COUNTIES ARE TAKE EN INTO THE ACCOUNT. I KNOW THE PRESIDENT WAS VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE OF, OF COURSE, SHE'S -- SHE IS ALSO FOCUSED ON COUNTIES OF COURSE. AND CONDUCT TAKE SHOULDERS WHO MAKE UP MTC AND ABAG AND WE CONTINUE TO INCLUDE OURSELVES IN THE DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE CAN IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD OUR HOUSING ELEMENT THAT IS JUST ONE THING THAT I HINK WAS FOR ME THE LEAST THAT WE CAN DO IN TERMS OF OUR ROLES. I AM GOING BACK TO THE PIPELINE THAT WE HAVE OF 2005 UNITS, AND I THINK THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE 645 OF THEM ARE ABOVE MODERATE RAT INCOME. WITH 359 BEING LOW INCOME AND ONE BEING MODERATE RAT INCOME UNIT. AND HOW WERE WE PLANNING TO ADDRESS THIS IMBALANCE ACROSS THE ARENA INCOME CATEGORIES. HOW ARE WE ADJUSTING? WHAT IS THE PLAN? I KNOW THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL FOR WHAT THE KINDS OF PROJECTS THAT COME IN. WE ARE OING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOUSING ELEMENT. TO RESPOND TO THE DIFFERENT INCOME CATEGORIES. SO HOW DO WE CREATE BALANCE IN -- YOU KNOW IN THE LONG RUN HERE?

>> SUPERVISOR ARENAS, WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT. IT'S NOT A CLEAR ANSWER. WE CAN'T MAKE DEVELOPERS. WE CAN TRY TO INNING SEN IS A TY SLIDES. BUT AT THIS MOMENT, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STRATEGIZE. BECAUSE I DON'T -- I THINK THEY ARE HAVING CHALLENGE WITH THE LAND COST AND PENCILING OUT THESE PROJECTS.

>> Supervisor Arenas: I MEAN, IT'S CLEAR FROM THE PRIOR -- ALL OF THESE ITEMS ARE JUST KIND OF INTERCONNECTED. ONE OF THE CORRECTIONS WE COULD TAKE IS THE AGRICULTURAL WORKER HOUSING AND HAVE -- BEGIN TO HAVE CONVERSATION WITH OUR FARMERS AND FOLKS IN THOSE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THOSE THAT FOCUS ON CALLING DO YOU RECALL TO SEE WHO THOSE COULD BE BECAUSE ARE ARE VERY LOW INCOME UNITS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GET OFFSET WITH THE FARM WORK BUT I AM SURE THEY HAVE TO BE LEGITIMATE WAYS IN TERMS OF HOW THEY OFFSET THE COSTS FOR THE AGRICULTURAL WORKERS I WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THE AGO CALLING TRUE WORKER HOUSING COULD BE A POTENTIAL SONGS OF ONE OF THESE. OBVIOUSLY LOW INCOME. POTENTIALLY THE GRANT THAT CONSUELO BROUGHT INTO THE MIX FOR AGRICULTURE WORKERS HOMEOWNER SHIP COULD BE MODERATE INCOME. I DON'T KNOW. THAN JUST RENDLESS I LOVE TO SEE HOW AGRICULTURE WORKING HOUSING CAN ADD TO -- WHEN WE BEGIN TO INTEGRATE THOSE EFFORTS INTO UR ARENA OBLIGATIONS. ALL RIGHT. I AM WONDERING ABOUT THE UCC'S PROPOSAL AND ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE ON NEXT STEPS. INCLUDING WHAT IS GOING TO BE OUR ROLE? WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NEXT? I KNOW IT'S DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY AN AUTHOR CURRENTLY. ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE DOING TO REFINE THE PROPOSAL?

>> SO IF I MAY. IF YOU MAY RECALL AT THE TIME THAT WE DID AB3035, THE AGRICULTURE WORKER HOUSING BILLING, THE UCC WAS ACTUALLY HELPFUL IN ONE OF THE LOBBYISTS THERE WHO IS THE EXPERT ON HOUSING FOR SOME -- NOT JUST URBAN COUNTIES BUT SO MANY COUNTIES BECAUSE CHRIS WAS INVOLVED AND HE IS THE POINT PERSON ON THIS ISSUE. WE WE CONTINUE TO DO A NUMBER OF THINGS, FIRST CONVERSATIONS THAT WERE HAD WITH TWO OR THREE POE STEP SHALL AUTHORS. I DON'T WANT TO DISCLOSE THEIR NAMES BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THEM. ONE IN PARTICULAR WAS CLOSE TO TAKING THIS ON. SO WILL WE WILL CONTINUE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE HOPE THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE TWO OR THE WILL TAKE IT ON AS AS A PRIORITY IN THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION, THOSE CONVERSATIONS WILL CONTINUE. IN THE REPORT YOU HAVE SEEN SORT OF THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES WE ARE PURSUING AS PART OF THAT. MAKING SURE ANNEXATION POLICIES ARE FACTORS THAT COUNCILS OF GOVERNMENT CONSIDER. MAKING SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS INCLUSION OF LARGE COUNTIES IN THESE ENTITIES THAT THEIR VOICES IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. LARGE CITIES AS WELL. SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT THAT ARE GUIDING THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION. SO THAT IS ONE THING, CONTINUING THOSE CONVERSATIONS. SO THAT WE DON'T LOSE THAT MOMENTUM WITH THOSE MEMBERS. THE SECOND THING IS, IS TO SEE IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL MEMBERS THAT WE HAVEN'T EACHED OUT TO AND THIS IS WHERE I THINK THE PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER COUNTIES IS REALLY CRITICAL. THE WAY THAT YOU GET HYPOTHETICALLY, A MEMBER FROM OTHER CITY, LET'S SAY SACRAMENTO TO TAKE ON A BILL THAT WHOSE IDEA CAME FROM SANTA CLARA IS TO HAVE THAT COUNTY WORK WITH SANTA CLARA AND GO TO THAT MEMBER TO SAY, BY THE WAY, THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR US AS WELL. RIGHT? AND THEN THE THIRD THING THAT WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DO AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO, IS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR DELEGATION MEMBERS UNDERSTAND THAT THESE CONVERSATIONS ARE ONGOING, RIGHT? AND THAT WHETHER IT'S THEM OR SOMEBODY ELSE, TAKING THE BILL, THAT WE WILL NEED THE SUPPORT FROM OUR DELEGATION MEMBERS. BECAUSE FOR A BILL OF THIS TYPE TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THERE REALLY HAS TO BE SUPPORT ACROSS THE BOARD WITHIN, OU KNOW, NOT JUST THE URBAN COUNTIES BUT ALSO MAKING SURE THAT THE RURAL COUNTIES THAT NOTHING WE DO IS GOING TO BE SEEN AS BEING POE STAGILY HARMFUL TO THEM. SO ALL OF THAT WORK WILL CONTINUE. AND THE FORTH THING, IF I CAN ADD TO IT, WOULD BE AS WE LOOK AT THE BILLS THAT WERE INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSING SPHERE, ARE THERE ANY NEW TWEAKS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. IN LIGHT OF THOSE BILLS THAT THEY DO MAKE IT TO LEGISLATION THAT WE MAY NEED TO CONSIDER FOR OUR BILL DOWN THE LINE. THOSE ARE THE KINDS F CONVERSATIONS AND THING THAT WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT. I APPRECIATE YOU HAVE TWO D.C.s WHO WERE NOR WORKING ON THIS YOU HAVE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE BEEN USEFUL FOR US AND BEING AVAILABLE. AND BY THE WAY BEING IT'S NOT JUST COVERINGS WITH UCC. WE ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMITTEE STAFF. AND I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF THOSE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS, BE THAT WE ARE BEING INVITED TO THE TABLE TO PRESENT AND THINGS LIKE OUR WORKER HOUSING. BECAUSE WARREN GAUGING PEOPLE IN THIS ARENA, OBVIOUSLY IF THERE ARE THINGS EYOND WHAT WE ARE DOING THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL, WE ARE OPEN TO ANY IDEAS. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE MOMENTUM OF WHERE WE ARE. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S A NEW SET OF BILLS THAT'S COMING UP. A NEW LIMIT. SO I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBABLY OVER COMMITTED THE FIRST YEAR OF THAT TWO-YEAR CYCLE. AND SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM SO THAT IN THE NEXT CYCLE BEING WE ARE A PRIORITY AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST.

>> Supervisor Arenas: WONDERFUL. WELL, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW WE CAN ALSO USE CSAC, IN THAT ROLE. I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE RURAL GROUP THAT MEETS THAT PROBABLY COULD BE GREAT PARTNERS TO US. THAT CAN CONTINUE TO BE GREAT PARTNERS TO US, CONGRATULATIONS TO WHAT WE HAVE ALL DONE TOGETHER. I STARTED THE COMMENTS WITH SIMITIAN NOT WANT TO GO HEAR THAT YOU GO. BECAUSE MAYBE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE IS THE LACK OF INVESTMENT BECAUSE THAT COMMUNITY ISN'T WITHIN THE -- HIS RESPECTIVE DISTRICT. NOT TO SAY THAT HE DIDN'T ADVOCATE, BUT WHEN IT'S YOUR OWN DISTRICT, THAT THERE IS DIFFERENT KIND OF INVESTMENT, RIGHT? AND SO I AM REALLY PROUD THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THREE YEARS LATER. AND NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A CROSS-DEPARTMENT EFFORT ON AGRICULTURAL WORK WORKER HOUSING WE HAVE A BILL THAT THE GOVERNOR PASSED AND NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A BILL THAT THE GOVERNOR PASSED BUT WE ALSO HAVE A IS HE -- ASSEMBLYMEMBER OSORIO WORKING ON THIS BILL. AND THAT SHOWS A TREMENDOUS ACT OF SUCCESS. AND LEADERSHIP ON THE PART OF EVERYBODY SITTING HERE WHO TOOK PART OF IT. CERTAINLY THOSE POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS WERE DIFFICULT. EVEN, YOU KNOW, HERE AT HOME AND WE KNOW WHAT SOME OF THOSE WERE. WHEN WE WANT TO GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS THAT WE THINK IS VERY FOIBLE NOBLE IN CONCEPT BUN THERE IS STILL A LOT OF HURDLES THAT WE HAVE TO CROSS. AND SO JUST CONGRATULATIONS. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Arenas: JOB, AMAZING, AMAZING JOB DONE. WE DON'T GET TO CELEBRATE THAT SO SO -- YOU KNOW, VERY OFTEN. AND WE SEE THE -- OH, I WILL DO IT, FRUITS OF OUR LABOR. [ LAUGHTER ]

>> Supervisor Arenas: I AM GOING TO DO IT. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK I'LL ADD HERE THAT WE ALSO HAVE A AFFORDABLE HOUSING -- AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED WITH ONE OF THE AGO WORKER HOUSING DEVELOPERS THAT WE MET WITH AND THAT RECENTLY SUBMITTED A PRE-APPLICATION. UNDER AB3035. SO HUGE, HUGE, HUGE PROGRESS FOR THE THREE YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING SOME WORK ON THIS. SO CONGRATULATIONS. I THINK FOR ME, THAT'S IT. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT KIND OF STEPS WILL BE -- I KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T LET US KNOW WHO THOSE FOLKS ARE. WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND. AND IF THERE IS ANY WORK THAT WE CAN DO OFFLINE, OULD LOVE O BE A PART OF THAT.

>> WE CAN HAVE, IF I MAY, THROUGH THE CHAIR, WE CAN HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS IN PRIVATE. I JUST KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE HAPPY TO TELL YOU, BUT I THINK THAT SAYING THE NAME OF POTENTIAL AUTHORS PUBLICALLY IS PROBABLY NOT THE MOST CON CONDUCIVE WAY TO GET THEM TO BE ONBOARD. BUT WE WILL BE HAPPY TO KEEP YOU

>> Supervisor Arenas: ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: GREAT, THANK YOU. I HAD A SIMILAR QUESTION SO THANK YOU SUPERVISOR ARENAS FOR ASKING THEM AND I JUST WANT TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS. TO OUR TEAM, IT IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE. INCLUDING LEGISLATION AROUND AGO WORKER HOUSING I AM HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT TERM THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF THE COUNTY IS THAT IT IS SO DIVERSE AND FRANKLY MEANS WE HAVE MANY DIVERSE NEEDS AND NEED TO STRIVE TO ANSWER TO ALL OF THEM. SO THANK YOU SUPERVISOR ARENAS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS AREA, SO WITH THAT, MAY I DID HE HAD A MOTION TO RECEIVE THE REPORT.

>> Supervisor Arenas: MOTION TO RECEIVE THE REPORT.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THAT.

>> Clerk: VICE CHAIRPERSON A REIGN AS.

>> THANK YOU, CHAIR FOR THE OPPORTUNITY CONSUELA ERNANDEZ DEPOSIT I COUNTY EXECUTIVE. JOINED BY MEGHAN KYLE SERVING A AS OUR EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT MANNER INTEREST THE IN OF TIME QUICK UPDATE AND HAPPY TO TAKE QUESTIONS, SUPERVISOR ARENAS YOU REQUESTED A QUARTERLY UPDATE ON OUR EFFORTS TO ADVANCE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE OUTLINED THE TOPICS WE INTENDS TO COVER BY QUARTER IN THE STAFF REPORT. TODAY WE ARE REPORTING BACK ON THE 2026 CALENDAR YEAR DRAFT WORK PLAN. NOW THAT WE HAVE A ROBUST INTERNAL COUNTY TEAM WHO IS WORKING ON ALL THINGS AG. JACQUELINE HAS A PERSON ON HER STAFF, CEPA, AS A NEW AG COMMISSIONER EXCITED ABOUT WORKING WITH PARTNERSHIP. OVER OUR FOOD SYSTEMS WORK MANAGER AND WITH MEGHAN'S ADDITION WE THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DO AN INVENTORY ANALYSIS AND GAPS SO THAT IS YOUR ATTACHMENT TO WE WILL BE RINK OUT TO THE PARKS FOLKS. AND SAME EXAMINE ON THE EXTERNAL SIDE WITH THE HOPE THAT MEGHAN CAN FILL IN THOSE GAPS WITH THAT HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> Supervisor Ellenberg: NO REQUESTS TO SPEAK.

>> Supervisor Abe-Koga: THANK YOU. BRING IT BACK TO IT'S IN I I -- COMMITTEE QUESTION NECESSARY OR COMMENTS?

>> Supervisor Arenas: I DO. WE NOTE THE CROSS DEPARTMENTAL EFFORTS THINK I THINK IT'S FABULOUS, I TWO ARE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO MEET WITH YOU, CONSUELO, TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR NEXT STEPS ARE. I THINK IT'S -- THIS IS THE TIME WHERE WE REALLY GAIN A LOT OF INSIGHT FROM THOSE STAKEHOLDERS AS THE -- THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE ORDINANCE. YOU KNOW, OVER THEIR HEAD ANYMORE. OR, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, WORK IS IN PROGRESS. BUT THEY CAN ACTUALLY FOCUS ON GIVING FEEDBACK LIKE WE SAW THEY COULDN'T LAST TIME THAT WE HAD MET. SO I THINK THIS IS A REALLY GOOD TIME. I GUESS I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE KIND OF -- THE NEXT STEPS IN TERMS OF THE INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION.?

>> THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR. I THINK ONE IMMEDIATE ACTION IS A LITTLE BIT

OF A RESET ON THE AG PLAN, MEGHAN AND I FOCUSED ON TWO OF THE FOCUS AREAS OR ONE FOCUS AREA THAT TWO COMPONENT, TWO FOCUS AREAS, THANK YOU, MEGHAN. BUT REALLY REESTABLISHING OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE AG PLAN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION.

AND SO MEGHAN AND I ARE PROPOSING AN INTERNAL CONVENING. THE STAFF IS GREAT. MEETING WOULDN'T ONE NOW IT'S A FOCUS OF RING BRINGING US TOGETHER. AND WHAT IS THE COLLATERAL THAT WE CAN USE TO THEN FOLKS UNDERSTAND THE EDUCATION FROM WHAT, WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CEPA REQUIREMENTS. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THE PLANNING REGULATIONS. AND THEN WHAT ARE THE OFFERINGS FROM THE ASSET AND COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND ITS CONNECTION TO THE FOOD SYSTEM WORK PLAN. GETTING US ON THE SAME PAGE, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

AND THEN WITHIN THE BRANDING, THERE ARE A A HANDFUL OF LOW-RANGING FRUITS. SO WE ARE VERY CLOSE ON WRAPPING UP THE FIRST AG CAMPAIGN. AND WITHIN THAT THREADS AROUND IMPROVING THE WINE TRAIL TO INCLUDE DISTRICT 5, THE WEBSITE THAT WILL BE HOSTED BY THE COUNTY ASSET EXAMINE COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT LINK TO GO ALL OF THE DISTRICT ELEMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTY, NOT JUST SOUTH COUNT BY THROUGHOUT. ALL OF THE CITIES.

AND YOU KNOW, THE ADVISORY COUNSEL IS RELAUNCHING THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WITH OTHER FOLKS IS LESSENS LEARNED FROM OTHER ADVISORY COUNCILS AND LEAVING THE TABLE OPEN OR PEOPLE TO COME IN, IDENTIFY WHO IS MISSING. PEOPLE WANT TO ENGAGE DIFFERENTLY. AND IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS OWNER, YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO GO TO AN ADVISORY COUNCIL. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ON'T HAVE AN OPINION TO SHARE. MEGHAN WILL GO GOING OUT AND MEETING FOLKS. AND LEARNING MORE AND ASKING THAT QUESTIONS, HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE ENGAGED?

>> SUPERVISOR ARENAS: PERSON.

SREL VIA AND YOU ARE TAG TEAMING WITH THE GROUPS TO BRING US TOGETHER ON ALL THINGS AG INCLUDING THE HOUSING COMPONENT. PHIL LOVE TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGURE OUT -- BECAUSE THERE ARE FOLKS COMING IN FROM THE AG COMMUNITY FOR OUR INVENTORY GRANT. IT'S NOT AS SIGNIFICANT AS LAST BUT IT IS STILL SOMETHING. AND I WOULD LOVER -- I DON'T HAVE TO SEE HOW WE CAN LEVERAGE AND MAKE SURE THE PRIORITIES ARE ALIGNED. AND IF THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE MORE STRATEGIC THAT WE ARE. AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AN OFFLINE MEETING WITH YOU ABOUT APPROXIMATE THIS.
