I HAVE THE FLICKER. >> I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE INVITE TO COME PRESENT TO YOU THIS EVENING. ON THE PRESENTATION THAT THE SHERIFF AND I GAVE BEFORE THE BOARD HERE A FEW WEEKS AGO, IS AND THIS IS A MODIFIED VERSION IF ANYBODY DID SEE IT ON LINE. A LITTLE BIT OF REPEAT BUT IT IS MOTION DENIED IDENTIFIED BECAUSE THE BOARD GAVE DIRECTION. THE BOARD GAVE DIRECTION TO HOW TO PROCEED FORWARD, SO MODIFY THE POWER POINT A LITTLE BIT TO CUT OFF THE OPTIONS AND PROVIDE THE FINISHED PRODUCT IF YOU WILL. (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) IT IT'S THAT AWKWARD SILENCE. >> YOU'RE MAKING A PRESENTATION ON THE POWER POINT? >> YES, MA'AM. >> AND THEN SHERIFF JOHNSON IS COMING AND MAKING A PRESENTATION ON A SECOND POWER POINT? >> YES, MA'AM. THERE'S TWO SEPARATE. AND AS WE GO THROUGH THIS, IT WILL OUTLINE HOW THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS, AND HOW THEY BLEND TOGETHER. SO THEY ARE INTER WOVEN. IS THAT OKAY? >> THAT'S PERFECT. >> OKAY. FANTASTIC. >> OKAY. SO AS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, I SAW THAT YOU HAVE A COPY, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT MAY BE OBVIOUS TO SOME BUT NOT ALL, AS IT TO WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR A NEW JAIL HERE IN SHASTA COUNTY, AND THIS JAIL WAS BUILT, AND DESIGNED IN THE LATE 70S AND EARLY 20S, OPENED IN 1984. IS AND AT THAT TIME, THE IT WAS ANTIQUATED, AND WE HAVE STAFFING, AND WE HAVE CAPACITY ISSUES, AND THE SHERIFF WILL TALK ABOUT THE STAFFING ISSUES, AND WHAT WORKING TO DO IS INCREASE CAPACITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME DECREASE THE NUMBERS OF EMPLOYEES AND WE HAVE GONE AND TOWERED SOME JAILS, WITH THE EFFICIENT DESIGNS, WITH THE LINEAR DESIGN, ALLOWING FOR A GREATER SPAN OF CONTROL, AND GREATER SUPERVISION WITH LESS STAFF, WHICH IS CRITICAL, WHERE WE'RE ALL STRUGGLING TO GET OUR NUMBERS UP, AND WE WANT TO BUILD A SAFER AND SECURE OPTION TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING NEEDS WITH BOTH THE INMATES AND THE STAFF, AND IT HAS TO BE MUTUALLY SAFE FOR THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE. IS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE. AND LOOKING AT WAYS TO INCREASE OPERATING COSTS PER BED. I KNOW THAT A FEW YEARS AGO, THERE'S 150 BEDS. WE WANT TO REDUCE /HREUTD GAS STATION FOR OUR COUNTY, THE JAIL HAS THE HIGHEST LITIGATION OR POTENTIAL FOR LITIGATION OF ANY OF THE 22 DEPARTMENTS THAT WE OPERATE WITHIN THE COUNTY. THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING COMPONENTS. A LOT OF PEOPLE AND LESS THAN DESIRABLES AT TIMES, IS AND IT'S JUST A VERY, UM -- IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT WORK ENVIRONMENT AND THEN OF COURSE, WE WANT TO SOLVE THE OVER CROWDING ISSUES LONG-TERM AS WE SEE IN THE COUNTY, OUR CITIES GROW IS AND WE HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH THAT, AND WE'RE ABLE TO ADD 102 BEDS HERE A FEW YEARS AGO WITH SOME INNOVATIVE DESIGN FEATURES BY ADDING SOME SHOWERS, AND INCORPORATING A LEVEL WITH A MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF 484. THE IMPORTANCE OF A NEW JAIL FOR OFFENDERS IS THAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE NEED FOR THE PRETRIAL, AND THAT'S A LOT OF THE CURRENT POPULATION. THAT ARE ARRESTED OR AWAITING THE PRETRIAL. AND AS WE HAVE SEEN BASED ON SOME OF THE REFORMS, AND LEGISLATIVE REFORMS, WE'RE NOW HOLDING PEOPLE FOR A LONGER SENTENCES. SEVEN TO EIGHT NINE YEARS AND THE SHERIFFS CAN SPEAK TO THAT. AND WE WANT TO EXPAND MEANINGFUL SERVICES, LIKE MEDICAL. AND INCREASE OUR A D A, AND UM, ISSUES THAT WE STRUGGLE WITH IN AN OLDER JAIL AND HOPEFULLY BY IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAMS, AND BEING SUCCESSFUL IN THE PROGRAMS ALSO HAVING AN IMPACT OF REDUCING RECIDIVISM. WE WANT TO INCORPORATE THE NEEDS BASE. AND THE GOAL HERE IS NOT TO MAKE THINGS LESS PUNITIVE. IT'S QUITE THE OPPOSITE, WE WANT TO HAVE THE ACCOUNTABILITY BUT THOSE WHO WANT TO AFFECT THE CHANGE IN OUR LIVES AND THOSE WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATED. WE WANT TO EMBRACE THAT, AND BE PRODUCTIVE ONCE WE GET OUT. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT INCREASING THE JAIL CAPACITY, BUT THOSE NEED THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS, WITHIN THE CITY TO BE PARAMOUNT, AND SPACE TO IMPROVE THE SERVICES, BECAUSE WE'RE ABSOLUTELY MAXIMIZED IN THE JAIL NOW THERE'S NO SPACE FOR ANYTHING ADDITIONAL, AND HAVING THE ABILITY TO REHABILITATE FOR THE REDUCING OF RECIDIVISM. SEVERAL OPTIONS WERE PROVIDED TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS A FEW WEEKS AGO. UM, AND AS WE KNOW THERE'S A NEW COURT HOUSE CONSTRUCTED, AND THE DATE CHANGES, AND THE DATES THAT WE'RE GIVEN TENTATIVELY, AS WE'RE LOOKING TO COMPLETE HERE IN MID DECEMBER AND START OCCUPYING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, TO MAKE A FULL TRANSITION HERE. SO WITH THAT NEW COURT HOUSE TRANSITION COMES UM, THE VACATING OF THE OLD COURT HOUSE AND THAT PROPERTY AND EVERYTHING THAT'S INCLUDED THERE, THAT YOU SEE IN THE RED, TRANSITIONS TO THE COUNTY, AND THOSE AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN INKED AND DONE, AND AS SOON AS THEY SIGN OCCUPANCY WITH THE LAND AND PROPERTY CONVERTS FOR THE COUNTY USE. SO WE HAVE A GOOD FOOT PRINT ALREADY THAT THE COUNTY OWNS, THAT'S ZONED, AND HAS THE UTILITIES THANKS TO THE CITY, AND WE HAVE THE OPTION TO LOOK AT EXPANSION IN THAT AREA. YOU'LL SEE A GREEN OUTLINE THERE, A GREEN RECTANGLE. AND WE HAD CONVERSATIONS RIGHT NOW, AND WE CONTRACTED WITH THE MARSHALL'S OFFICE TO TAKE THE INMATES FOR THEIR COURT HEARINGS TO THE COURT HOUSE, AND THAT'S A REST TEE CONTRACT. THAT WE PAYAN USUALLY, AND WE WANT TO ENTERTAIN TO THE FUTURE, WHETHER IT'S AN INTER PASS OR OVERPASS, TO FACILITATE THE MOVEMENT OF THE JAIL, THAT'S THE EXPENSIVE CONTRACT WITH THE MARSHALL'S OFFICE. >> SO WHAT THE BOARD HAS ELECTED BASED ON THE OPTIONS PROVIDED IS TO DESIGN, AND IMPLEMENT OR CONSTRUCT IF YOU WILL WHAT WE CALL POD ONE, THIS IS A MODIFIED SLIDE, THIS IS 256 NEW BEDS THIS IS A TWO LEVEL FACILITY. THIS WOULD BE BUILT. THESE ARE COURTROOMS ATTACHED TO THE JAIL, ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE JAIL. AND IF ANYBODY IS DRIVEN OUT THERE, YOU SEE A MODULAR BACK TO THE PARKING LOT THAT WAS ADDED ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO. THAT MODULAR WILL BE REMOVED, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT WITH THE COURTS, AND THEN WE'RE CONVERTING THE DEPARTMENTS, ONE AND TWO, AND THAT FOOT PRINT WILL THEN ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A FULL LEVEL, 256 NEW BED FACILITY. THE DESIGN OF THAT POD AND AGAIN THIS COMES ON THE HEELS OF UM, TOWERING OTHER FACILITIES WITHIN THE STATE, AND THE LATEST AND GREATEST IF YOU WILL, AND DOWN TO ASSISTANT A BARBARA, I THINK THAT IT WAS THE NEWEST JAIL TO OPEN. AND THE CONCEPT IS SOMETHING THAT THE SHERIFF AND I EMBRACED AND REALLY LIKED AND UM -- IT'S ALL INCLUSIVE FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. AND THERE'S MEDICAL ROOMS, AND PROGRAMMING SPACES. VIDEO VISITATION. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I JUST DESCRIBED FOR THE INMATES TO BE MOVED >> THEY HAVE TO GO DOWNSTAIRS TO GO DOWN TO MEDICAL, TO GET PROGRAMMING. AND THAT'S WHERE THE INCIDENTS OCCUR, WHEN YOU START TRYING TO ACT OUT AGGRESSIVELY, AND THE STRUGGLES OCCURRED IN THE NARROW HIGHWAYS, TO ELIMINATED THAT. AND AS I ILLUSTRATED THAT. FOR POTENTIAL OF LITIGATION OF THAT REGARD. AND THE MIRROR ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THAT'S THE NUMBER OF BEDS PER LEVEL. AND THERE'S POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES TO STAYING WITHIN THE COUNTY BLOCK BETWEEN COURT AND WEST STREETS. UM -- THE POSITIVES ARE AGAIN TO BUILDING -- REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE BUILD BUT TO EXPANSION IS MORE SPACE AVAILABLE FOR PROGRAMMING. BEING ON THAT FOOT PRINT HAVING ALL OF THE ZONING AND THE CEQA. AND ALL OF THAT IS COMPLETED. AND IT GIVES US AN ESTIMATE OF FOUR YEARS TO COMPLETE. IT IS CLOSE TO THE DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR OF THE OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS WITH THE PUBLIC DEFENDER AND THE D A AND THE COURT HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET. AND AS INDICATED IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS, THE NEGATIVES IT IS LIMITED SPACE. AND IT IS REQUIRING A TWO STORY CONSTRUCTION DESIGN WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO STEER AWAY FROM AS MUCH AS WE CAN, BECAUSE WE WANTED THAT SPAN OF CONTROL, THE MORE EFFECTIVE SUPERVISION. BECAUSE OF THAT, THERE'S AN INCREASE OF STAFFING OPERATIONAL COST. UM, AND THEN THIS IS AN ATTACHMENT AGAIN, THIS DOESN'T REPLACE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE COURTROOMS. THAT JAIL IS OLD AND IT OPERATES, 360 DAYS A YEAR, AND 24 HOURS A DAY. NOTHING EVER TURNS OFF. IT IS UM -- A HEAVY BURDEN, UM, SO AGAIN WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH THE DESIGN IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING IN THE LIFE ON THE CURRENT FACILITY. AND THEY GAVE DIRECTION. FOR THE APPROVAL FOR US TO START AND PROCEEDING FORWARD ON. AND AS TAKING THE ENTIRE JAIL FACILITY OFF SITE. THIS IS ONE OF MANY AREAS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND AND THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. AND IT IS OUT THERE, IN THE ORGAN TRAIL SOUTH OF 44 AND EAST OF AIRPORT ROAD. AND THAT WOULD GIVE US THE AMPLE ROOM AND SPACE TO PROCEED FORWARD WITH THE DESIGN THAT WAS REALLY APPEALING TO THE SHERIFF AND I TO WHAT WE LOOKED AT WITH THE DIFFERENT FACILITIES. AND THE SHERIFF WILL U, GIVE MORE OF A PRESENTATION ON THIS DESIGN AND THE NEEDS AND BENEFITS TO GOING THIS ROUTE, BUT ULTIMATELY, IN A REMOTE SITE LIKE THIS. WE CAN BUILD UP TO ONE THOUSAND 56 BEDS, SO AGAIN WE NEED TO START PLANNING FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS AND WHAT THAT JAIL LOOKS LIKE AND THE NEEDS FOR THE JAIL FACILITY TO GET US THROUGH THE NEXT 40 YEARS AS THIS ONE HAS. SOME OF THE BENEFITS THAT I'LL TOUCH ON, YOU'RE GETTING A WHOLE NEW FACILITY THAT'S A D A COMPLIANCE. WITH THE EFFICIENCY OPERATING COSTS, AND SOME OF THE SAME POINTS THAT I HIT ON THAT YOU CAN READ THERE YOURSELVES, IS AND THE NEGATIVES ARE THAT IT IS ON THE CORRIDOR, IS AND THERE'S TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, WITH THE INMATES THAT DO -- FOR THE CONSTITUTIONAL -- AND IT HAS THE CHOICE, AND FOR THE PROTOCOLS. AND UM, JUST THE OVERALL IMPACTS OF THE MITIGATION OF THE OVER ALL -- AND WE'LL HAVE THIS PRESENTATION, IS AND WE'LL BE AVAILABLE THERE. >> NOT JUST FOR THAT PARTICULAR AGENCY OR ANYTHING. FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, IT IS PROBABLY THE NUMBER ONE USER OF THE JAIL FACILITY AND I THINK THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO COME BEFORE YOU AND CAN GET INPUT FROM YOU, AND SHOW YOU WHAT'S IN THE WORKS. SO WHEN WE PRESENTED IN FRONT OF THE BOARD AND GOT SOME DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT OPPOSITES, A TEMPORARY AND A PERMANENT SOLUTION. SO THERE'S KIND OF A UM, COMPROMISE IF YOU WILL, BETWEEN THE TWO, TO GET TO BOTH AVENUES AND SERVE THE COUNTY. NOW I'M GOING TO JUST GIVE YOU THE PRESENTATION ON WHAT I THINK ARE THE MAYBE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF EACH, AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE AND WHAT THE -- I HOPE WHAT THE ROLE OF SOME OF YOU WILL BE. AND SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE TEMPORARY SOLUTION, THE BENEFIT FOR THAT. IS TO ADD MORE BEDS. WE TAKE MORE CRIMINALS OFF THE STREET, AND IMMEDIATELY. WE CAN ADD ON A DESIGN THAT BEST ACCOMMODATES THE CURRENT JAIL. IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A MORE PERMANENT SOLUTION, DOWN THE ROAD SOMETHING THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR THE LONG-TERM. WE HAVE SOME OTHER THINGS, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE VISION IS A 40 ACRE PLUS FACILITY THAT SLIDE THAT UM, MR. (INDISCERNIBLE) SHOWED YOU, IT'S 40 ACRES CURRENTLY, WITH SOME ACREAGE FOR SALE. FOR THE PERMANENT DETENTION CAMPUS. IT'S NOT JUST THE JAIL, BUT A DETENTION FACILITY, IT WILL TAKE IN DRUG ADDICTION, AND IT WILL TAKE IN WORK REPLACE PROGRAMS, WITH THE HUGE FARM OUT THERE. IS AND IT WILL TAKE HOMELESSNESS ASPECT, TO SERVE THEM, AND AS WELL AS, UM, INCARCERATION. AND LIKE, UM, ERIC HAD SAID, JUST TO BE VERY CLEAR, I AM NOT LOOKING TO UM, REHABILITATE EVERYBODY. NOT EVERYBODY IS A CANDIDATE FOR REHAB IDENTIFICATION I CAN TELL YOU, THAT I HAVE BEEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 27 YEARS, SOME FOLKS DON'T WANT TO GET IT. AND THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED UP. AND HAVING A BIGGER FACILITY WILL ACCOMMODATE THAT. AND THERE'S OTHER FOLKS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE LOCKED UP, AND NEED SOME HELP. SO HAVING A BIG 40 ACRE PLUS FACILITY WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT AND ALL OF THE NON-PROFITS TO HAIR THAT RESPONSIBILITY. IS AND UM, PROBABLY WELL, AT LEAST THE INPUT THAT I GOT RECENTLY, MOST IMPORTANTLY TO REDDING IS THAT IT REMOVES THE JAIL FROM THE DOWNTOWN REDDING AREA. AND HAVING A JAIL IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA FOR THE MASTER REVITALIZATION PLAN. SO THAT'S THE BENEFIT OF THE REMOTE LOCATION AS WELL. SO YOU SAW THIS SLIDE FROM UM, ALSO IN HE I CAN'S PRESENTATION, WHAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON HERE IS THIS IS -- THIS REPRESENTS THE ADD ON TO THE CURRENT JAIL, THIS IS THE WEST STREET, AND THIS IS COURT STREET, AND THIS IS WHERE THE NEW COURT IS BEING BUILT, AND SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS HERE, EVEN IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN, WE HAVE THE NEW COURT MOVING ACROSS THE STREET, AND WE USED TO BE ABLE TO TRANSFER THE PRISONERS FROM DEPARTMENTS ONE AND TWO RIGHT THROUGH THE JAIL, NOW WE'LL HAVE TO TRANSPORT NO MATTER WHAT, IF YOU LOOK AT ME IN A SIMPLE CONTEXT. WE CAN'T DO THAT, WE WANT TO DO THAT. AND THAT CREATES A LOT OF SAFE SEE OBJECTS, AND WE HAVE TO HAVE TRANSPORTATION X IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE NEXT SLIDE, AND THE OFF SITE FACILITY, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IF YOU'RE TRANSPORTING A BLOCK OR FIVE OR TEN MILES AWAY, TRANSPORTATION, IS TRANSPORTATION. IT DOES MATTER AS FAR AS TIME, AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF LOGISTICS AND FUEL AND OTHER THINGS THAT MATTER, BUT IT'S STILL TRANSPORTATION. SO KEEP THIS SLIDE IN MIND, AS WE MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS THE CURRENT JAIL, IS AND THIS IS DEPARTMENTS ONE AND TWO. AND I'LL IT TELL YOU THE SESSION OF HOSE, AND THIS IS THE ADDITION. >> THE EXISTING JAIL, JUST LIKE ON THE OTHER SIDE, THIS IS WEST STREET, AND HERE'S COURT STREET, AND THE NEW COURT HOUSE IS OVER HERE. WE HAVE THE EXISTING JAIL, DEPARTMENT'S ONE AND TWO. THINK OF THEM AS COURTROOM ONE AND TWO, THE BEAUTY OF THE DESIGN AS IT IS EXISTING HERE. THIS IS WHERE ALL OF THE INMATES ARE HOUSED, SO WHEN WE HAVE SOMEBODY, ARRANGEMENTS IS AND COURT HEARINGS, WHERE WE NEED TO TRANSFER JURY TRIALS OUTSIDE OF THAT. THOSE INMATES NEED TO APPEAR IN JAIL, WE CAN BUZZ THEM THROUGH A SERIES OF BUZZ WAYS, AND SECURE PANELS, WITHOUT AN ESCORT. THAT HELPS US NOT TRANSPORT OR HAVE EXTRA STAFF OR BREECH SECURITY TO GET THOSE INMATES RIGHT IN, INTO THE COURTROOMS, SO IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING ON. UM -- WE CAN'T TRANSPORT, THIS IS THE SALLY PORT WHEN YOU DRIVE IN THE ALLEY. THE WE CAN'T DO OUR TRANSPORTATION FOR THE COURT OUT OF THE SAMAL THREE PORT. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT IT WILL CLOG IT UP. IT TAKES 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR TO GET SOMEBODY BOOKED INTO THE JAIL AS IT IT IS. WE CLOG UP THAT AREA, THEY WILL BE OUT THERE FOR TWO OR THREE HOURS TRYING TO BOOK SOMEBODY IN. SO WE HAVE IN PROGRESS, A TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTION PROJECT GOING ON. AND YOU KNOW, WHAT I SAID? THE BEAUTY OF BUZZING THE INMATES INTO THE DEPARTMENTS. FOR THE INMATES THROUGH COURT, ARE APPROXIMATE THE SECURED PENSING OUT THERE. AND THIS IS WHERE THE MODULE WILL BE REMOVED, AND THE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM RIGHT NOW. AND THE TRANSPORTATION ROOM, AND THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE USED FOR VIDEO ARRAIGNMENT. SO INMATES HAVE TO GO FOR ANNA RAINMENT. RATHER THAN TRANSPORTING THEM. AND THEY NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE REALLY IN THE FOOT PRINT OF THE JAIL, ALL OF THAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THIS, THIS IS THE SQUARE THAT YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE OF THE PROPOSED EDITION. SO WE CAN'T ACTUALLY GET THOSE TWO PODS STACKED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. AS BEING PROPOSED IN THE ADDITION OF THE JAIL. AND IF WE DO, TARING OUT THAT WHOLE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT THAT WE'LL PUT OUT HERE IMMEDIATELY. SO IT WILL HAVE TO SIT ON TOP OF IT WITH SOME SORT OF SCENE SO IT CAN STAY EXISTING TO HAVE THE BEDS PROPOSED. THAT'S ALL IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED AND LOGISTICS TO THE WHOLE PROGRAM. DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AROUND THEM, IT'S NOT BEING DISCOURAGED UPON. I'M MERELY EXPLAINING TO YOU THE LARGE STICKS OF IT. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOR THE ADD ON. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR IS THE PROPOSED DESIGN THAT YOU SAW, AND IT TAKES NOTHING INTO ACCOUNT FOR THE KITCHEN OR FOR A LAUNDRY, AND THESE ARE TWO HUGE SERVICES AT THE JAIL, AND WE CANNOT TAKE THEM ON WITHOUT ADDING. IF WE HAVE TO ADD THEM ON TO THE JAIL, WE HAVE TO ADD THEM ON TO THE KITCHEN AND LAUNDRY AS WELL. AND THERE'S HURDLES WITH THAT. AND THE BIGGEST HURDLES WITH THIS MODEL, AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS OPERATING COSTS. SO IF YOU'RE ADDING ON TO THE EXISTING JAIL, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE OPERATING COSTS GO AWAY, IT MEANS THAT I HAVE THE OPERATING COSTS, AND IN ADDITION, WE HAVE THE OPERATING COSTS OF THE NEW SIDE OF THE JAIL TO ADD ON. AND SO THAT'S THE EXPENSE TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR AS WELL. WHEN WE ADD ON TO THE JAIL. AND FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE BIGGEST HURDLE, WHICH EVERYBODY ASKS ME. HAVING THE OUTSIDE FACILITY, THE LONG-TERM, UM, LONG GAME PLAN FIXED FOR THIS COMMUNITY, FOR THE SHASTA COMMUNITY. UM, WHICH IS OFF CITE ON THE 40 ACRE. AND AGAIN THE VISION IS ALL ENCOMPASSING CAMPUS, WHICH TAKES IN ALL OF IT. AND THE BEAUTY THE WAY THAT I SEE IT, THE FOLKS THAT ARE ON THE STREET AND SLEEPING IN THE DOORWAY OF THE BUSINESSES AND ON THE RIVERS, AND CAUSING ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE, AND THE CRIMINALS AS WELL REMOVING THEM FROM THE DOWNTOWN OF YOUR DOWNTOWN CITY AREA, AND THE DOWNTOWN C S L AND EVERYWHERE AND TAKING THEM ON SITE IS A GOOD MASTER PLAN. AND IT REMOVES THEM FROM THE COMMERCE AREA, AND BRINGS THEM TO AN AREA TO SEEK TREATMENT IF IT WILL COOPERATE AND OFFER THEM THE OPPORTUNITY IF NOT, WE'LL INCARCERATE THEM OUT THERE. SO BUILDING A NEW FACILITY OFF SITE ALSO HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF WHICH ERIC HIT ON AS WELL. INSTEAD OF GOING WITH THE VERTICAL MODEL STACKED OLD JAIL BRICK IN METAL JAIL BAR STYLE BUILDING IS THAT IT CAN BE LINEAR MODEL, HORIZONTAL MODEL, WHERE THE PODS ARE SEPARATED BY DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS, AS WE HAVE IT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE OF THE DECRIMINALIZATION BECAUSE OF COVID AND EVERYTHING ELSE, OUR JAIL RIGHT NOW IS OPERATING AS A MINI PRISON. WE HAVE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE OF THE WORSE. WE'RE NOT HOUSING LOW LEVEL CRIMINALS RIGHT NOW. WE HAD TO SHUT DOWN THE FLOOR OF THE JAIL WHICH AFFECTED THAT FURTHER AND HAD TO KICK THE OTHER ONES TO THE WORK RELEASE PROGRAMS AND ANKLE MONITOR PROGRAMS. AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO GET ANY BETTER. AND TO DEAL WITH THAT, WE'RE HOUSING THEM. SO HAVING THE DIFFERENT MODEL TO SEGREGATE THE POPULATIONS A LITTLE BIT BETTER IS CREATING SOME SAFER ENVIRONMENT. FOR THE JAILS, AND FOR YOUR COMMUNITY TO KEEP THEM LOCKED UP. THIS IS NUMBER FOUR THAT REPRESENTS THE 40 ACRES, AND IT IS A LANDFILL, WITH THE AREAS IN IT, WHERE YOU CAN TELL THAT ARE THE LANDFILL PARTS THAT WE CANNOT BUILD ON. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE CAN'T FARM ON THEM FOR THE WORK RELEASE PROGRAMS, AND WHAT'S ALSO ATTRACTIVE OF THIS LOCATION IS THAT THERE'S FOUR OR THREE PARCELS SURROUNDING IT THAT ARE ALL FOR SALE, AND THOSE DIFFERENT PARCELS, ARE, 20, TO 30 AND 37 ACRES. WE NEED TO OBTAIN THE PARCELS, TO BE SET, AND BUILD OUT THE JAIL, AND THE DETENTION FACILITY ON ANY PART OF THAT, AND USE THIS FOR THE FARMING AND FOR THE REST OF IT. AND THIS IS HIGHWAY 44. AND THIS IS OLD ORGAN TRAIL, AND UM, AIRPORT ROAD, SO THAT'S THAT EXIT OFF 44 TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. AND THIS IS ONE SIDE. AND THIS IS THE ATTRACTIVE SITE IN MY MIND SO FAR, BECAUSE IT'S IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO HOOK UP TO THE CITY OF REDDING. AND IN THE WATER AND SEWER, AND THERE'S A LITTLE BUILT OF A COST OF GETTING US THERE. BUT IT IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO WHERE WE DO IT. AND WE HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER SITES, AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, AND JUST SO HE NOW, THIS IS THE COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY, 84.2 SIX ACRES THERE. AND AND THAT'S MY CURRENT WORK RELEASE PROGRAM, THAT'S WHERE WE DO A LOT OF 9 BOOKS FOR THAT. AND THIS IS THE LAND WHERE WE FARM, AND THAT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THAT. RIGHT THERE IS THE CURRENT, UM, SOUTH COUNTY PAROLE OPERATIONS, WHICH THE BUILDING IS IN CONDITION WHERE THEIR'S SEWAGE LEAKAGE ON THE FLOORS, AND IT'S A HORRENDOUS BUILDING THAT NEEDS TO BE TORE DOWN, AND WE STARTED TO LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY. AND OUT HERE IS THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND MY I D LAB, I'M SORRY. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA, THIS IS OFF TO THE RIVER AND NOT BUILDABLE. AND THIS BECOMES PROBLEMATIC FOR US, TO HAVE THIS AS A FACILITY, AND WE HAVE TO DISPLACE TOO MANY PEOPLE, AND THIS IS THE JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER, AND ALL OF THAT NEW BUILDING HERE. SO OF COURSE, WE DIDN'T WANT TO DISPLACE THAT ANYWAY'S. THAT'S ALL BRAND-NEW CONSTRUCTION, AND I SHOWED YOU THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE LOOKED AT AND MOVED ON FROM. AND LOOKING AT SOME OTHER LAND AVAILABLE SITES IF THERE ARE, AND THESE ARE THE EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE PARTNERS THAT I HOPE TO APPROACH AND TRY TO SEEK OUT IF THERE'S AVAILABLE LAND AND BETTER SPOTS TO DO IT ON. WE'RE GOING TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WORKSHOP I ASKED THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO ALLOW ME UP TO 25 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN DISCRETIONARY SPENDING TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WORKSHOP, THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE LED AND UM, RUN BY A CONTRACT COMPANY TO BE VERY FORMAL AND VERY STRUCTURED, AND WE WANT TO PRODUCE SOME CERTAIN THINGS ON THAT, AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S THE RIGHT CHOICE, ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT'S COME UP FROM THE PUBLIC SINCE WE HAD THE PRESENTATION IS WELL, UM, IS IT REALLY SMART TO BUILD OR ADD ON TO THE JAIL AND ADD THAT MONEY, AND SAVE THAT MONEY, TO BUILD A LONG-TERM PROGRAM AND PERMANENT SOLUTION, AND IT'S COME UP FOR THE STAFFING, I TOLD YOU, LOCATIONS HAVE COME UP. AND THAT'S A PROBLEM TO WHERE WE WANT TO DO IT. AND ARE YOU SURE THAT THAT'S THE RIGHT LOCATION AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE IDENTIFIED A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEARER, FROM THE KEY STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THROUGH THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WORKSHOP. AND JUST DON'T WORRY, I HAVE SEVERAL FOLK LISTED IN THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WORKSHOP. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THAT. I MAKE NO PROMISES, BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE 120 SPACES AND WE'LL DO IT IN TWO SEPARATE DAYS. AND PLEASE E-MAIL ME, AND LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF I CAN GET YOU IN. AND I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, COUNCIL, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THAT I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF THE BROWN ACT VIOLATIONS, AND ISSUES, IS AND I CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN TWO OF YOU ON THAT. ANYWAY'S THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE FOR THE PRESENTATION, AND THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT, FOR THE CONVERSATIONS INVOLVED, AND I THINK THAT THERE'S BOTH OPTIONS. AND FOUR MORE SPACES, AND HAVING STAFFING ISSUES, AS YOU KNOW. (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) (INDISCERNIBLE). >> THANK YOU FOR COMING, AND I THINK THAT IT IS INFORMATIVE FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND THERE'S A LOT OF THEM. AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU HAD TO PRESENT, AND JUST A FEW QUESTIONS, IN THE -- WHAT YOU PRESENTED BEFORE, THERE WAS A PICTURE OF A TUNNEL, HAS THE COURT ASKED ABOUT TO FINISH UP ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE. >> LONG ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, YES, THEY HAVE BEEN APPROACHED. >> SO THAT TUNNEL OR OVERHEAD THAT WAS BEING CONSIDERED, IS BEING CONSIDERED WITH THE FULL BUILD OUT MODEL. NOT THE FULL PICTURE FROM WHAT THEY ARE DECIDING TO GO WITH. IT'S A MILLION AND A HALF TO A 3 MILLION DOLLAR -- AND IF THEY ADD THAT BLOCK TO THE JAIL, IT'S NOT COST EFFECTIVE TO A LONG-TERM PROJECT. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. >> I'M SURE THAT YOU BOTH KNOW, HOW MANY BEDS DO YOU THINK THAT WE BOTH NEED. AND YOU CAN SAY THAT WE MAY HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW. >> 30 YEARS IS WHAT WE WILL NEED, AND THOSE ARE INCARCERATED BED SPACES, IF YOU GO THROUGH THE FULL DETENTION SPACES, BED SPACE IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THE JAIL. IT REFLECTS THE PROBABILITY ON THE CURRENT STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE. NOT THE CURRENT MODEL THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. >> AND I WOULD CONCUR WITH THAT, ABSOLUTELY, AND THE SHERIFF AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS. AND WE PARTNERED A LOT ON THIS. AND WE PARTNERED IN THAT. AND WHAT WE ENVISIONED AND WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE THERE. AND WE WANT TO QUANTIFY IT, AND I WOULD LOOK TO EVEN BRING IN A CONSULTANT, BECAUSE THINGS ARE SO FLUID WITH THE STATE, AND REFORM. AND COUNCIL MEMBER MEZZANO, YOU CAN RELATE TO HOW IT WAS ON THE STREET, AND HOW IT'S -- LIKE I WILL USE THE WORD DIGRESS AS FAR AS ACCOUNTABILITY TO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. SO TO QUANTIFY THAT NUMBER TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS DIFFICULT BUT AT LEAST 8 HUNDRED TO A THOUSAND, IS MORE THAN APPROPRIATE. ARE THE FUNDING SOURCES SIMILAR TO BOTH OPTIONS? OR IS ONE OF THEM -- DIFFERENT (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) (INDISCERNIBLE). >> LET ME MAKE SURE THAT I UNDERSTAND. >> ARE THERE FUNDING SOURCE OPTIONS THAT ARE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT VARIOUS OPTIONS THAT THE COUNTY IS CONSIDERING? >> YES, WHAT I WOULD ENVISION FROM THE BUILD-OUT. TO BEING ABLE TO LEVERAGE. THE PAST MONEY THAT I WOULD GET THROUGH. THROUGH MENTAL HEALTH TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO AND THE FORMER -- AND LEVERAGE THE MONEYS. AND SOME OF THESE BUILDINGS THAT ARE AND IT IT HAVE THE COMPONENT AND AND COMPETENCY IS AND YELLING BASE COMPETENCY NOW. WHICH IS PHENOMENAL JOB. TO EYES THE PROFESSIONS, THAT WE MENTIONED TO HELP OPERATE THE FACILITY. >> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE CURRENT JAIL -- LIKE YOU BOTH MENTIONED, STAFFING HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. DO YOU THINK THAT OUR STAFFING HAS -- THE AVENUING ISSUE AT THE COUNTY HAS TO DO WITH THE POOR SAFETY CONDITIONS, AND EXHAUSTION OR DID YOU THINK THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON, AND DO EITHER OF YOU SEE ANY UM, A NEW PROJECT BENEFITING THAT ISSUE? >> IT IT HAS TO DO WITH SEVERAL THINGS THERE'S NOT ONE THING AFFECTING IT. THERE'S DEFINITELY THE UM, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND THE BUILDING IT IS SELF, IT IS A DARK COLD DUNGEON TO WORK A 12 TO 16 /HOR REST TO WORK IN THERE. AND I KNOW THAT IT MAY SOUND DRAMATIC. DAY IN AND DAY OUT, IT WARES ON YOU. AND YOU'RE NOT LOCKED UP AND LIVING WITH THE BEST OF PEOPLE WORKING SOME 6 TO 15 HOURS A DAY. THERE'S A MAJOR ISSUE GOING ON WITH THE STAFFING THERE TOO AS WELL. AND EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW THIS GOES, THIS ISN'T JUST THE JAIL. THIS IS PRIVATE BUSINESS CORPORATIONS. >> IT'S NOT AN EASY SOLVE, OR SOMETHING TO FIX OVER NIGHT. I'LL GET STAFFING BACK UP QUICKLY ENOUGH WHERE I CAN HAVE OPEN THE FLOOR OF THE JAIL IS AND UTILIZE THE BED SPACES THAT WE HAVE. BUT THERE HAS TO BE A LONG-TERM FIX AND A LONG-TERM PLAN, AND I'M LOOKING AT EVERY ANGLE, AND EVERY IDEA, AND CREATIVE OPTION TO HAVE PEOPLE OUT WILL AND FIX IT. >> HAVE YOU HEARD IN TERMS OF OPTIONS? >> NOT ALL OF THEM. I HAVEN'T SURVEYED THEM ALL. BUT DEFINITELY, THE UM, BIGGER INPUT IS THE LONG-TERM FACILITY, ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED THE JAIL AND INCARCERATION PORTION, THEY WANT A NEW FACILITY, THEY WANT SOMETHING SET UP, THAT'S MORE FRIENDLY, FOR SURE, BUT EVERYBODY, UM, I WOULD TELL YOU THIS TOO. EVERYBODY IN THE COMMUNITY WANTS MORE BEDS NOW, AND WANT TO TAKE MORE CRIMINALS FROM THE STREET, I WANT THAT TOO. BELIEVE ME, IT KILLED ME TO SHUT DOWN THE FLOOR OF THE JAIL, AND CONNECT THESE GUYS OUT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> AND THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DID. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR, PRO-TEM MEZZANO. AND COUNCIL MEMBER WINTER HAS A QUESTION. >> THANK YOU FOR THE TIME TO COME TONIGHT. I READ THE STAFF REPORT IN THE PROCESS. A HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. NOT ONLY STATE PENITENTIARY BUT COUNTY JAILS. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'LL COST ONE END MATE AT A TIME IN THE ELEVATOR. IT IT USED TO BE THAT WHEN YOU GOT SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR IS AND OVER, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GOOD TO STATE PRISON. AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU HAVE INMATES IN A COUNTY JAIL FOR SIX TO DEATH YEARS. THAT'S HARD TIME. AND I DON'T SEE THE VALUE IN YOUR QUICK FIX. FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT IF YOU DON'T GET ON THE HORSE WITH THE REHABILITATION PROCESS. WE'RE GOING TO -- THE TRANSPORTATION THAT WEAR TALKING ABOUT, I'M ENVISIONING THE 20 FOOT HIGH FENCE. IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. >> NONE, I HAVEN'T LOST ANY TO THE STATE PENITENTIARY SYSTEM. RIGHT, THAT WAS MY POINT, IS THAT THEY PAY WELL. YOU GOT TO GET IN MORE MONEY. >> UH-HUH. >> YOU HAVE TO WORK THE HOURS, PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WORK 70 HOURS A WEEK. >> NOBODY DOES. >> WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I SHUT DOWN THE FLOOR OF THE JAIL. THE FEEDBACK THAT I GOT FROM THE PEOPLE WERE GOSH, THIS WAS INCREDIBLE, I HAVEN'T HAD TIME OFF WITH MY FAMILY. AND PEOPLE WERE GETTING THE DAYS OFF. AND ENJOYING THEM, AND WE LOST A FEW MORE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS SENSE THEN AND WE'RE GETTING -- BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME TO GET THESE FOLKS HIRED AND TRAINED, AND READY TO GO IN THE SYSTEM, AND I HAVE FIVE MORE THAT WILL START HERE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND STARTING NOT LONG AFTER, BUT THEY HAVE TO BE TRAINED, AND THROUGH THE RAINING PROGRAM, AND BEING PROFICIENT. BEFORE THEY HAVE THE WINS OR PLUSES. THAT'S THE WAY OF THE FUTURE IN CALIFORNIA, AND I DON'T SEE US SPENDING MONEY ON A SHORT TERM FIX AND THE OTHER PART OF THAT, COUNCILMAN, YOU MENTIONED ABOUT THE REHABILITATION ASPECT. THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY IN CALIFORNIA BEING RELEASED FOR THE TYPE OF THING, AND IF YOU SET UP THE CATCH PUS CORRECTLY, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT MONEY FOR THE FACILITIES. >> GIVEN WHAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE FUTURE, WITH THE LACK OF PRISONS, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GO. I WISH YOU THE BEST AND UM -- GO AHEAD, ERIC. >> I HEARD IN THE NEWS TODAY, THAT THEY ARE CLOSING DOWN ANOTHER ONE. >> I KNOW, IT PAINS ME TO SEE THAT, AFTER BEING IN IT FOR SO LONG. >> I CONCUR WITH THE ASSESSMENT, NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE REHABILITATED. I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. >> OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER WINTER? THANK YOU VERY MUCH GENTLEMEN FOR COMING VERY INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION. AND FAR MORE INTERESTED IN THE PERMANENT SOLUTION, I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT. AND ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD CHANGE IN DOWNTOWN, AND HOW TEMPORARY THAT WOULD BE? MAY BE 0 YEARS AND THAT'S CONCERNING FOR ME, I WANT TO THEY IF YOU CAN TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE IN COST, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT POTENTIAL COSTS. >> IT'S VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS CONCEPTUAL STUFF THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. ROUGHLY THE ESTIMATE PER BED WHETHER YOU'RE ADDING ON AND BUILDING IN THE NEW FACILITY IS ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 5 HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS PER BED. >> OKAY. >> SO IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. >> SO THAT'S PROJECT COSTS, IT'S NOT JUST CONSTRUCTION. IT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION RELATED TO THAT. >> WE HAD PEOPLE THAT MAY HAVE TO BE TRANSPORTED ORE GO TO A STATE MENTAL HEALTH INSTITUTION TO BE WHAT THEY CALL RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, TO TRY TO RESTORE THEM BACK TO A LEVEL THAT THEY CAN, UM, PARTICIPATE IN THEIR CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS. THAT WAS TAKING ANYWHERE FROM 8 TO TEN MONTHS ON A WAITING LIST BEFORE THEY GO. AND THEN THEY WOULD GO SPEND THREE TO FOUR MONTHS THERE ON THE FACILITY, AND HOPEFULLY GET BROUGHT BACK ON A LEVEL OF COMPETENCY, AND THEN BROUGHT BACK TO LATER PROCEED. AND IN THAT WAIT; THEY ARE DETERIORATING MENTALLY, SO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS PARTNERING WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TAILLIGHT HOSPITALS AND IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM IN HOUSE, AND UM, WE HAVE 6 BEDS, OR EIGHT, WE INCREASED IT. SO WE HAVE THAT TIMELINE DOWN FROM TOTAL START TO FINISH. UM, AND AROUND 20 DAYS. SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE. AND IT GIVES CLOSURE TO THE VICTIMS AND EXPEDITES THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS. FOR THE COURTS. AND I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT FOR THE COUNCIL. >> WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MORE QUESTIONS. >> YES, FOR THE SHERIFF. UM -- WITH THE STAFFING SHORTAGE, AND CLOSING OF THE FLOOR THERE. TWO THINGS THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LET OUT ON ANKLE BRACELETS. HOW MANY ARE HOLDING YOU UP TO THAT. >> OKAY. (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> I KNOW THAT IT'S HAPPENING THERE. >> MY FINAL QUESTION IS -- THE DEPUTY OFF THE STREET. >> CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? >> I'M HAVING TO PULL DEPUTIES OFF THE JAIL. AND YES, IN FACT, I WORKED A SHIFT IN THE JAIL, AND IT'S THAT DYER, AND THERE'S COMPLICATIONS WITH THAT OF COURSE, YOU PULL DEPUTIES OFF THE STREET, AND NOW MY RURAL AREAS, ARE LEFT OUT UNPROTECTED, AND I CAN ONLY DO THAT AND SUSTAIN THAT FOR SO LONG WHICH WE DID, AND THEN WE HAD TO GO TO FORCED OVER TIME FOR THE CORRECTIONAL STAFF WHERE THEY WERE NOT GETTING THEIR DAYS OFF, AND IT'S JUST A HORRIBLE MIX ALL AROUND. >> NO DISRESPECT AT ALL. I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT -- >> ALL RIGHT SO THAT'S OKAY. I CAN TAKE IT. >> OKAY. UM, I -- I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, THE RURAL AREAS WITHOUT PAROLE. >> I COME INTO THIS JOB AS THE SHERIFF, AND I -- IT'S MY MISSION TO START GETTING RESIDENT DEPUTIES BACK OUT IN THE POST IN THE AREAS, AND CONNECTING WITH THE COMMUNITIES, AND UP IN SERVICE, AND PROFESSIONALISM AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND IT HAS EVERYTHING COMING DOWN TO STAFFING. >> I HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS ON HERE. >> AND YOUR WORKSHOP IS TO HAVE OTHERS WEIGH IN ON THEIR PREFERENCES, OR IDEAS ARE TO SHARE WITH YOU. AND THEN THE BOARD THEN COMES BACK AND SAYS, THEY HAVE THE DECISION. >> WELL, I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE BOARD WILL DO, I AM LOOKING AT IT FROM THE ASPECT OF THIS IS A COUNTY ISSUE. AND ALL OF THE COUNTY MEMBERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN ON IT. AND GIVE ME FEEDBACK TO WHAT THEIR IDEAS AND WISHES ARE AND WHERE THEY SHOULD GO WITH IT. I AGREE PARTICULARLY TO WHAT IS GOING DOWN WITH DOWNTOWN REDDING. WITH WHAT'S THERE WITH THE CURRENT COURT HOUSE. AND PUTTING IN THERE MORE JAILS, THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO FIT THE VISION THAT I THINK THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE APPRECIATING WITH OUR NEW WORK THAT WE'RE DOING DOWNTOWN AND THE NEW INVESTMENTS THAT I'M PROVE THE COURT HOUSES, SO I'M APPRECIATIVE OF LOOKING AT THE WORK FORCE. AND I THINK THAT UM -- GIVING IT ALL THE WAY DOWNTOWN TO THE MAJOR UM -- CHANGES IN DISRUPTIONS. TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO -- AND IT MAY BE TO UM, EXPAND THE REHABILITATION WITH THE SAME H H S H DOLLARS. AND IT EXPANDS IN THE SUBSTANCE ABUSE. AND NOW -- I GET THAT THE COMPETENCY. FOR A LACK OF BETTER WORDS. >> AND THE DESIGN THAT I'M WORKING ON THERE, TO HAVE THE PROGRAM SPACE, AND HAVING THE LIEUTENANT THAT'S BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS. AND WE DON'T HAVE THE SPACE OR PROGRAMMING. AND I GET IT. AND I GUESS I'M TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE OUT ON RELEASE WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY IN JAIL, AND WHO ARE SAYING THAT WE RELEASE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE CAN'T HOLD THEM ENOUGH. BUT WE HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY THAT WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY AND AT SOME POINT IT'S BEFORE THEY HAVE BEEN ADJUDICATED, BUT LOOK AT IT MORE IF YOU'RE WILLING TO -- EMBRACING THE IDEA OF REHABILITATION MORE SO THAN BEFORE. BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IT, BUT IN SHASTA COUNTY, WE HAD THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA RATE. THE WAY THAT WE RETHINK OF THIS. AND IN THE SETTING OF ACCOUNTABILITY, I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT JUST RETHINK OF HOW WE CAN BETTER PREVENT PEOPLE FROM RECIDIVISM. YOU KNOW, TO JUST SOME OTHER THINKING BEFORE AS WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD MORE, MORE EFFICIENT SPACE. >> AND MAYOR, I APPRECIATE THAT, AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AND THERE'S A LOTS OF THAT REHABILITATION EFFORTS GOING ON NOT NECESSARILY BY MY AGENCY BUT PARTNERING WITH THE OTHER AGENCIES, WHAT'S MISSING THERE, IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE HAMMER TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. IF THEY DON'T PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAMS, THEN THEY JUST QUIT PARTICIPATING. AND THAT'S FROM THE JAIL SPACE, IF YOU ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE JAIL PROGRAM, OR RECOVERY, OR PRODUCTIVE, THEN SERVING THE TIME THAT YOU'RE BROUGHT IN THERE FOR. AND THEY GET TO A POINT WHERE THEY MAKE A CHOICE. TO EITHER GOES TO THE 157 COUNTIES, OR PARTICIPATE IN THEIR OWN RECOVERY AND BE PART OF OUR COUNTY AND COMMUNITY. AND LAST ONE -- LAST QUESTIONS, THEN, SINCE YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE THE EXACT PLAN, THEN WE DON'T HAVE A BUDGET EITHER -- OR DO YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS. SO YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY MAYBE ABLE TO ASK FOR A SPECIFIC ASK FOR ANYBODY. >> NOT AT THIS POINT. NO, I'M NOT. >> OKAY. >> WE CAN, THOUGH. WE'LL ALWAYS ASK FOR MONEY. >> OKAY. >> FIVE HUNDRED MILLION. >> BUT WITH -- ALL RIGHT WELL, I DO APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK THE TIME TO SHARE THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. >> OUR NEXT ITEM IS PUBLIC COMMENT, I DO WANT IT TO SAY THAT I'M GOING TO ADDRESS THE -- ADJUST THE ORDER OF A COUPLE OF THINGS TONIGHT, AND I'M GOING TO MAKE THAT ANNOUNCEMENT, SO -- 9, 10, A WILL BE MOVED UP TO JUST BE AFTER THE CONSENT CALENDAR, NINE TEN A WHICH IS OUR, UM, BUDGET -- WHICH IS THE MID YEAR REPORT. AND GREG HAS OFTEN SAID THAT HE IS WILLING TO BE MOVED UP ON THE AGENDA, SO WE'RE FINALLY MOVING THAT, SENSE WE'RE MOVING OUR ITEMS FOR UM, OUR FINANCIAL DISCUSSIONS, I'M ALSO MOVING UP, NINE FIVE C TO FOLLOW NINE TEN A. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, UM, DISCUSSED, AND EARLIER THAN NORMAL. SO OUR NEXT ITEM IS THE PUBLIC COMMENT, AND WE HAVE SPEAKERS HERE TONIGHT. WELCOME. WE HAVE ALEX *BALEKY. JOHN (INDISCERNIBLE) PASELO. OKAY. THAT LAST ONE LOOKS LIKE AN I INSTEAD OF AN O. OKAY. IS AND UM, STEVEN (INDISCERNIBLE). >> SO ALEX, WELCOME. >> THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I CAME IN ABOUT TWO-WEEKS AGO. AND A LITTLE THEATRICS. BUT IT WAS FACTUAL, I DO HAVE IS A COUPLE OF CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS IN THE COUNTY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE DO I GOOD TO GET HELP. I TALKED TO THE WATCH COMMANDER FOR THE SHASTA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OF WHICH THREE WERE THERE ON UM, THE COURT HOUSE LAWN TRYING TO FORCE YOU TO STAY SOMETHING THAT YOU DIDN'T SAY. OR FORCE YOU TO DO SOMETHING. I HAVE TO TALK TO THE WATCH COMMANDER ABOUT THAT. BUT EVIDENTLY THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT THEY CAN DO. BUT WHEN I SAID HEY; CAN THEY TELL YOU WHAT TO SAY SO THAT THE PIECES FIT? SO THAT YOU CAN BE HAULED AWAY AND INCARCERATED? HE DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FILLED OUT A REPORT OF WHAT HAPPENED ON JULY 26TH IN FRONT OF THE COURT HOUSE. AND IT SEEMS THAT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY COUNTY HAS BEEN HOLDING, YES. SOMEBODY THAT CAN ACTUALLY TESTIFY. THAT WAS COUNTY SUPERVISOR PAT JONES. HE DIDN'T SHOW UP AT THE MEETING FOR THIS THING. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO. IT WAS UM -- SOME TYPE OF A COURT THING WITH I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. IT ACTUALLY IS COUNTY PROPERTY, NOBODY LIKES TO GO TO A COURTROOM THAT IS RIGGED. NO TAPES, NO ANYTHING. IT'S JUST WHATEVER THE JUDGE SAYS. JUDGE NOTHING. JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. THEY TAKE YOUR STUFF AND THEN THEY TRIED TO JUSTIFY IT. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, YEAH, THERE'S EVIDENCE IN THE COURTROOM. PHYSICAL HE THAT THE JUDGE IS DIRTY, AND THE OTHER JUDGE IS DIRTY, AND I'M GETTING RAILROADED. SO WHICH ONE OF THE POLICE OFFICERS TALKS TO THAT? THE COUNTY, THE CITY ON THE STATE? ONE OF THEM WAS A JUDGE STATE UP HERE. AND THE OTHER ONE A COUNTY -- THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. UM, OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS JOHN (INDISCERNIBLE). >> ON A LIGHTER NOTE. I'M JOHN (INDISCERNIBLE). WITH THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ITALY, AND I WAS THE CHAIRPERSON OF THEM. AND WE SEEM TO WORK WITH THE PARK -- SINCE 2016 AND PUTTING IT ON. AND WE REALLY FEEL THAT WE WANT TO SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL AND STAFF AND THE MULTITUDE OF THE STAFF RIGHT HERE. AND HOW HAPPY WE ARE TO SEE THE PARK COMING BACK TO THE PEOPLE BACK HERE. WE FEEL THAT FINALLY, THIS LAST YEAR, AND EVEN BEFORE THEY STARTED, WE WERE DOWN THERE, WORKING WITH THE PARK, AND YOU LOOK AROUND THE PARK, AND SOME OF THE CROSS FENCING THAT WAS PUT UP TO HAVE THE FENCING UP THERE. AND A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD TO DO-OVER THE YEARS, WHILE THE PARK WAS A CAMP, AND I THINK THAT WE ALL KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THAT'S ALL DISSIPATED, AND MANY OF YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THAT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND IT IS CHANGED, AND IT IS WIDE OPEN, AND WE REALLY CAME HOME THIS PAST WEEKEND, AND WE SAW HOW OLD IT WAS, AND PEOPLE WERE PLAYING, AND WE HAD THE WONDERFUL TWO DAYS OF *PAISANO DAYS, AND WE WANTED TO EXPRESS THAT FINALLY THIS YEAR, WE HAVE BEEN DOWN THERE FOR YEARS FOR THIS. AND THE PARK HAS BEEN OPEN, AND UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY, A LOT OF THE PEOPLE ON THE OUTSIDE DON'T SEE THAT. AND WE FEEL THAT WE'RE SURROUNDED BY THE HOSTILES BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE LIBRARIES, AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. WE'RE DOING OUR PART, AND WE'RE APPRECIATING THE SUPPORT THAT WE GET FROM THE PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THE PUBLIC WORKS, AND THE REDDING POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE SAME GOAL TO MAKE THAT PARK AS IT WAS AS A FAMILY FRIENDLY VENUE FOR FOLKS, AND WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL THERE. AND I ENCOURAGE THE COUNCIL AND STAFF TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PARKS AND R P D TO WORK WITH THE CITIZENS, I WANT TO CONTINUE THAT EFFORT, AND TAKE BACK THAT LIBRARY TOO. THERE'S NO REASON THAT THE HEART OF THE CITY WITH THE PARK AND THE LIBRARY, AND THE POLICE STATION CITY HALL SHOULD LOOK LIKEN (INDISCERNIBLE) I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO CONTINUE. >> JOHN, I ATTENDED FRIDAY NIGHT, I HAD THE SPAGHETTI DINNER, IT WASN'T MY GRANDMOTHER'S SAUCE. >> I SAW YOU THERE. >> IT'S AN EXCELLENT EVENT, I'M GLAD THAT IT'S IN REDDING, AND NOT IN ANDERSON. I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. AND I SAW PEOPLE THERE FROM OREGON, THAT THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT EVENT. I SAW PEOPLE THERE HAVING A GREAT TIME, AND HONESTLY AS A POLICE OFFICER, I FELT SAFE, AND YOU GUYS ARE DID GO A GREAT JOB. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> IF I MAY, REALLY QUICKLY, ON FRIDAY BEFORE THE FESTIVITIES, WE HAD KID GAMES THERE. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE 18 KIDS IN THE NORTH TENNIS COURTS AND THEY HAD A COUPLE OF BALLS IN THERE, AND SCREAMING AND RUNNING AROUND, ALL THEY NEEDED WAS A SAFE PLACE TO PLAY, AND WE LIKE IT TOO. THANK YOU. >> ONE MORE COMMENT. >> (SPEAKING AWAY FROM MIC) (INDISCERNIBLE). >> OH, SORRY, MY LIGHT SAID I WAS ON. I APOLOGIZE. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS MY HEARING. >> I WON'T REPEAT MYSELF, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FOR ALL THAT YOU DO AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT, IT'S VALUABLE TO US. >> I TELL YOU WHAT, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH A LIST OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUR PART AND WE'RE HOPING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT ALSO, AND WE'LL HAVE A GREAT PARK. AND I HOPE THAT IT EXPANDS OUT. >> OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS STEVEN. >> THANK YOU COUNCIL AND UM STAFF AND CITIZENS. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK, UM, PUBLIC DIRECTOR WORKS. DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS (INDISCERNIBLE). I'M NOT SURE IF SHE'S A CITY EMPLOYER OR A CONTRACTOR, THEY HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB IN RESPONDING QUICKLY TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE THAT I EXPRESSED ABOUT THE LAST MEETING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION WORK. THEY ARE INFORMATIVE AND I APPRECIATE THAT. AS FOR SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THE LAST MEETING IN TERMS OF THE HOUSING ISSUE, AND COUNCIL MEMBER DACQUISTO WANTING TO INCLUDE TALKS ABOUT THE JAIL, AND THEY WERE KIND OF IN MY OPINION BRUSHED ASIDE BY THE MAYOR, AND BY COUNCIL -- WINTERS. I'M SORRY. AND LISTENING TO THE SHERIFF, AND MR. MCCLELLAN TALK ABOUT IT TODAY. YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE HOMELESS SESSION, AS WE KNOW AND THE CITIZENS KNOW, SOME TIME DO NOT WANT TO BE REHABILITATED. AND SOME MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO THEN BE REHABILITATED. AND THEN TO NOT INCLUDE THAT JAIL AS A PART OF, HELPING THE HOMELESS ASPECT THAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY IS FOOLISH. LEEK THE SHERIFF SAID, I'LL BACK IT UP AND I'LL SAY, WHEN I WAS A KID, THERE WAS CONSEQUENCES, I DID SOMETHING THAT I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO. MY MOTHER PUNISHED ME ACCORDINGLY. SHE GAVE ME FAIR WARNING, DON'T DO IT. DON'T EAT THE COOKIES BEFORE THE DINNER. AND DO GO OUTSIDE TO THE STREETS. I KNEW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WERE. NO TV, AND WHATEVER IT MAY BE. AND THE SAME NEEDS TO APPLY HERE. NOT EVERY HOMELESS PERSON IS GOING TO GO BAD OR CRIMINAL. UM, FOR WHATEVER REASON TO BE HOMELESS BUT SOME EVEN IF THEY ARE HOMELESS, UM, BY NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, THEY CHOOSE TO COMMIT CERTAIN CRIMES, AND THEY HAS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY, AND THAT ACCOUNTABILITY COMES IN A FORM OF A JAIL. >> THE CONSENT CALENDAR CONTAINS EXTENDED DISCUSSION OR DELIBERATION. >> I'M HAPPY TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR. I WANT TO DO A SHOUT OUT ON 4.9 C. THIS IS THE GET CRASH RIVERBOAT TO R P D FOR PAROLES ALONG THE WATER WAYS WHICH HAS BEEN A KEY TOPIC THAT WE HAD. WE HAD MANY PEOPLE COME FROM THE ASSOCIATION AND RIVER GUIDES ALONG THE WATER AND JUST SOME OF THE ASPECTS OF THE LEGAL ENCAMPMENTS. I WANT TO ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO SPEAK ON WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE CITY, BECAUSE IT'S A WONDERFUL SURPRISE. AND SO WHAT THIS WILL PROVIDE US IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR R P D TO RESPOND IN A MUCH QUICKER FASHION TO EMERGENCIES OUT IN THE RIVER. THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE SHASTA DEPARTMENT TO RESPOND AND IT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO SET UP THERE. AND TO GET ON THE RIVER THERE FASTER. AND THAT SHOULD BE HELPFUL IN TERMS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY. BUT ADDITIONALLY WITH THE ADDITION OF THE PARK REASONERS, WE EXPECT THEM TO BE ABLE TO USE THE BOAT ON OCCASION. AND IN SOME OF THE AREAS THAT ARE -- AND TO HAVE THAT PROPERLY. THANK YOU. >> AND SIMPLY AS APPROVING THE AGREEMENT WITH THE SHASTA COUNTY FOR SOME FUNDING FOR THE MLK CENTER. BUT I JUST WANTED TO REALLY COMMEND THE FOLKS WHO WORK ON THE MLK CENTER AND THE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL WORK THAT THEY ARE DOING, AND SUPER IMPORTANT TO HAVE STAFF AND THE INCREDIBLE PROGRAMS THAT THEY ARE OFFERING, AND IF YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT THEM. AND THEY ALSO WANTED TO TOUCH ON 4.11 A. AND 020 THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE NINE MILLION DOLLARS ON THE GAS. FOR SOME LOCAL ECONOMIC STIMULUS, AND I THINK THAT IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT STAFF HAS AWARDED 15 PROJECTS AWARDING 3.3 MILLION DOLLARS. AND IN 200 TO APPROVE THE MONEY, SO HE WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF WHO ARE CONTINUING TO USE THAT MONEY TO POUR INTO OUR LOCAL. >> IS AND SO, CALL FOR THE VOTE. >> ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE (MULTIPLE SPEAKERS) >> THIS IS OUR MID CYCLE BUDGET REVIEW FOR FISCAL YEAR 22, 23. >> THE MID CYCLE REPORT TO DISCUSS HOW THEIR RESULTS ARE RELATIVE TO THE EXPENDITURES, AND I THINK THAT THEIR REPORTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE COUNCILS TO CONSIDER, AND THESE HAVE SEEMINGLY LARGER BUDGETS THERE. AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT AS THE PRESENTATION MOVES ALONG, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT. AND WE'LL GET STARTED. >> SO THIS SLIDE I KNOW THAT COUNCIL IS USED TO LOOKING AT IT. AND I'LL GO OVER IT, BRIEFLY. AND WHAT IT IS, IS, IT'S SHOWING OUR GENERAL FUND BALANCE OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, OF EACH QUARTERLY UPDATE, AND UM, SO IT STARTS WITH THE ACTUAL RESULTS OF TRANSITIONING TO DECEMBER 21 AND MOVING TO THE QUARTER ENDING IN PHYSICAL YEAR, A COUPLE OF COMMENTS HERE, A THINK THAT EVERYBODY WILL OBSERVE THAT. AND THAT'S PLANNED, WE DON'T RECEIVE THE PROPERTY TAX INSTALLMENTS, UNTIL JANUARY, AND WE HAVE THE SECOND ONE IN MAY, SO THAT KIND OF USAGE OF CASH IS VERY EXPECTED AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE PLANNED FOR, AND WE'RE FULLY AWARE OF. AND THE SECOND THING THAT CLEARLY JUMPS OUT IN THIS GRAPH IS THE 63022 LARGE JUMP. AND THE DROP BACK TO JUNE 3022, AND JUNE 3023 AS WHICH IS CORRESPONDING TO THE CURRENT PLAN PROJECTIONS. AND THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE ARPA. AND IT WAS ABOUT, 12 MILLION DOLLARS, LOCATED TO THE GENERAL FUND PROJECTS. ALLOCATING TO THAT TRUST FUND, AND WE ALLOWED IT, TO SIT IN THAT FUND WHILE WE PUT TOGETHER A PLAN, AND AFTER THE COUNCIL ADOPTED IT, ON MARCH 15TH WE MOVED THAT FUNDING OUT INTO THE ACTUAL FUND. SO THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF THAT CASH. AND IN THE TEN-YEAR PLAN, WE BACKED THAT OFF, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE COMMITMENTS TO ADJUST FOR THE CASH BALANCE, AND THAT'S WHY WE SEE THE LARGE DROP AND WE HAVE PROJECTED BALANCES FOR 63022 AND 63023 AND ONE MORE COMMENT THAT I HEARD COUNCIL MAKE THIS TIME A YEAR. IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GOING THROUGH THE AUDIT. I FULLY EXPECT TO BE ADJUSTING AND BEGINNING THE CASH BALANCE. AND FROM WHAT I RECALL JUNE 30, 2022. AND WE'LL MAKE THAT FORMAL RECOMMENDATION IN FEBRUARY WITH THE MID YEAR UPDATE. BUT I EXPECT IT RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE PROJECTING ABOUT 15.8 MILLION AT JUNE 30TH, 2022. AND UM, ABOUT 16.2 MILLION. AND I EXPECT THAT NUMBER, OF JUNE 30TH, 2022 TO BE ADJUSTED TO 3 MILLION DOLLARS. AND UPWARDS OF 20 MILLION, AND WE'LL MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION WITH THE MID YEAR UPDATE IN FEBRUARY. BUT IT WILL BE A POSITIVE NEWS ITEM, AND ADJUST OUR CASH BALANCE, AND SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 16.4 PERCENT. SO THIS NEXT SLIDE IS UM, OPERATING RESULTS BUDGET TO THE ACTUAL. SO THIS GRAPH ACTUALLY SHOWS OUR REVENUE RESULTS RELATIVE BUDGET TO ACTUAL, UM, ON THE VERY LEFT IS SALE'S TAX, THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE MADE ARE ESSENTIALLY RIGHT IN LINE, WE ADJUSTED IT, TO 32 MILLION DOLLARS, ABOUT ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. >> THIS HAS TO DO WITH WHEN WE'RE BILLING THE PROJECTS, AND IF WE HAVEN'T PERFORMED, WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT MONEY IN AT THE SAME TIMEFRAME, SO THIS ONE CAN BE PRETTY VOLATILE. I THINK THAT THIS YEAR, WE HAVE AN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD THE ARPA, AND PUTTING THAT ARPA IN HERE. BUT OVERALL, WE'RE RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE REVENUE PROJECTIONS. UM, FOR THE PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22. >> THIS IS A GRAPH THAT I KIND OF GAVE A LITTLE FOR SHADOWING TO, IN THE PREVIOUS SLIDE, AND THIS GRAPH SHOWS ON THE LEFT A GROUP SALES TAX, AND THESE ARE DIFFERENT YEARS OF THE SALE'S TAX TO GO UP EVERY YEAR, AND IT ALLOWS US ON ENHANCE THE SERVICES, AS I REFERENCE THE, WE MADE A LARGE NUMBER OF BUDGET CHANGES IN THE MARCH TIMEFRAME, THAT I RECOMMENDED TO THE COUNCIL, AND ADDING MORE FUNDING TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND FIRE DEPARTMENT AT THAT TIME. AND PARKS AND OTHER THINGS OF THAT NATURE. PROPERTY TAX CONTINUES TO DO WHAT IT DOES DO TO STATE LAW, AND IT CONTINUES TO MARCH ALONG IN A STEADY PACE, AND IF PEOPLE ARE NOT SELLING PROPERTIES, IT IS KIND OF LIMITED TO HOW QUICKLY THE PROPERTIES GET TURNED OVER AND REASSESSED. AND STANCE IT'S TAX IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPACTED BY COVID, AND THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A FLATTENING IN 20, 21, AND 22 SEEMS TO BE FULLY BACKED AND THEN SOME. SO SOME OF THAT WE'RE THINKING THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT ONE TIME AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO MONITOR THAT AS THE YEAR GOES ALONG. AND CANNABIS TAX FOR US CONTINUOUSLY GROWS AND WE EXPECT THAT TO STAGNATE AS WE HAVE THE BUSINESSES APPROVED AND OPERATING. I BELIEVE THAT THE FINAL ONE WILL GET FULL APPROVAL SOON. SO THIS IS OUR EXPENDITURE BUDGET TO ACTUAL ABOVE THE LINE INDICATES THAT THEY SAVE MONEY FOR THE BUDGETED PROJECTIONS, AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS FIVE MILLION DOLLARS THERE OF SAVINGS, AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF THAT I'M FLIPPING MY PAPER, AND 2 MILLION OF THAT IS RELATED TO ARPA, AND WE'LL SPEND THAT TWO TO THREE YEARS, AND WE'LL GET THE PROGRAMS AND OFFICERS HIRED TO PERFORM THOSE FUNCTIONS, GENERAL GOVERNMENT I'LL FOCUS ON ON ARPA ACROSS THE PUBLIC WORKS TO HAVE A MILLION DOLLARS THAT WAS APPROVED FOR STREETS. AND INCLUDED IN THEIR SAVINGS, THEY HAVE A LARGE NUMBER OF UM STREETS PROJECTS IN THAT 11.3 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WILL BE CARRIED OVER IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, 3.2 MILLION DOLLARS IN ARPA FUNDING INCLUDED IN THEIR 6.2 THERE AND THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT HAS 5.2 MILLION DOLLARS. AND OVERALL, IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT OUR DEPARTMENT DID A GREAT JOB, AND WE HAVE THE CARRYOVERS, AND WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF THE IN SIGHT TO SEE HOW MUCH IS CARRIED OVER. AND WE WILL NOT HAVE CARRY OVERS FOR THE UNSPENT FUNDING, AND OVERALL, IT'S NOT 32 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WILL BE REQUESTED TO BE CARRIED OVER, BUT THAT'S UNDER PROJECTIONS. AND WITH THAT, I'LL TRANSITION INTO A LITTLE BIT MORPH ME READING OFF SLIDES AND I'LL GO AS QUICKLY AS I CAN. BUT THERE'S A LOT OF BUDGET REQUESTS SOMEWHAT IN VOLUME AND SOME SOME LARGE NUMBERS, BUT I'LL TOUCH ON THOSE AS THEY WALK THROUGH, FOR THE VARIOUS REQUESTS FOR THE PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22, 23. SO FIRST STARTING WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND BUDGET REQUEST. AND PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22 THERE'S A UM, LARGE NUMBER -- I'LL SAY THIS AS A THEME PRESENTATION. FUEL COSTS, I THINK THAT WE ALL FELT IT IN OUR PERSONAL LIVES, AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE WARNED COUNCIL IN THE VARIOUS UPDATES COMING TO FUEL BUT WE PREFER TO WAIT UNTIL THE PHYSICAL YEAR END AND ADDRESS IT AT ONE TIME, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE SLIDE. AND HERE YOU BEGIN THAT KICK OFF WITH UM, 127 THOUSAND DOLLARS ROUGHLY FOR FUEL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL DEPARTMENT OPERATIONS S AND THEY HAVE 29 THOUSAND DOLLAR REQUESTS FOR OUTSIDE LEGAL COSTS THAT THEY ARE INCURRING, AND IN PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22, 23. YOU SEE A LINE ITEM FOR THE COST, AND THE LINE ITEM CAME IN FOR THE BI-ANNUAL BUDGET FOR 13 THOUSAND 5 HUNDRED, AND FIRST YEAR, SOME 37 THOUSAND IN THE SECOND YEAR, AND SOME THE SECOND YEAR, PISS YEAR 22, 23. THERE'S REQUEST TO A PREVIOUS ITEM THAT COUNCIL ACTED ON TO TAKE THE EVIDENCE FUNDS AND ALLOCATING IT IT, TO THE EQUIPMENT NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS ACTUALLY PUTTING THAT IN THE BUDGET RESOLUTION AND THAT COUNCIL A TONIGHTS TO MOVE THAT FUNDING TO THE POLICE FUNDING TO BUY EQUIPMENT NEEDS OUT OF THAT FINANCING SOURCE. THE NEXT ITEM THERE IS SOFTWARE COST FOR THE EYE SUBPOENA FOR THE UTILIZATION OF THE SOFTWARE. AND THERE'S TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT FOR NEW OFFICERS AND CAN JUST AN OVERALL INCREASE OF THE QUANTITY OF OFFICERS, AS WE HIRED MORE OFFICERS OVER THE PAST YEAR OR TWO, AND REQUIRING US TO ASSESS THE NEEDS IN THAT AREA, AND WITH THAT SAME BANNED ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND POST TRAINING, TO GO WITH THE NEW OFFICERS, AND SOMEWHAT OF A BACK LOG OF TRAINING DUE TO COVID, AND THE FINAL ITEM THERE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN THE FUNDING FROM THE SCHOOLS HERE TO ACTUALLY HIRE ANOTHER SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER SO THERE'S AN ITEM THERE THAT'S OFFSET THERE FOR FULL REVENUES TO INCREASE ONE FULL-TIME POSITION FOR SCHOOL RESOURCES OFFICER. AND NEXT, TRANSITIONING INTO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE FIRST ITEM THERE IS OVERTIME COST. THESE ARE OVER TIME COSTS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY SALARY SAVINGS AND OR INCREASED REVENUES IS AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSES TO A LOT OF OUT OF COUNTY, WE MADE AN ACCOUNT FOR THAT. THIS IS A LARGE RESULT OF INCREASED INDUSTRIES, AND HAVING A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE INJURED, AND WITH THAT COMES NO SALARY SAVINGS, BUT OVER TIME BEING WORKED. SO THAT'S THE FIRST REQUEST THERE AND AGAIN BACK TO MY THEME OF FUEL COSTS, AND 65 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE FIRST YEAR, IS AND 69 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE SECOND YEAR, AND THEY HAD A SLIGHT OVER BUDGET IN UTILITY COSTS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE REQUESTING IN THE FIRST YEAR, THEY HAD COVID RELATED O AND M COSTS AND WHEN YOU SEE IT COME UP, MOW THAT WE'RE IN THE FINAL STAGES OF FINALIZING THE COVID BILLING, AND I AM HOPING TO SUBMIT IT THIS WEEK TO FEMA, AND THIS ITEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THAT REQUEST TO FEMA. AND THEN YOU ALSO SEE THE SAME NUMBER THAT I JUST WENT OVER ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET, SHASTA IN THE FIRST AND 37 THOUSAND IN THE SECOND YEAR, AND THEY HAVE A REQUEST FOR SOME TRAINING AND UNFORESEEN TAXES FOR ABOUT 12 THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND THEY HAD AN ADJUSTMENT TO HOW THEY WANT TO CLASSIFY THE USERS, AND THAT'S ABOUT, 27 THOUSAND BY HAVING TO ADD A CERTAIN NEW OF USERS TO THAT SYSTEM. AND THERE'S MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT OF 30 THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND ONE OF THE ITEMS WAS WAS FOR THE EDUCATIONAL RESPONSE TEAM FOR OUTREACH AND TRAINING, AND A PORTABLE RADIO TO BE HELD WITH THE NEW RADIO SYSTEM. THE NEXT DEPARTMENT IS THE PARKS BUDGET REQUEST. THE FIRST ITEM, IS THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. FUEL VEHICLE COST. AND 40 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22, 23 RESPECTIVELY RELATED TO UTILITIES, THEY HAD SOME NEW LOCATIONS COME ON LINE AND THIS IS A REQUEST TO FUND THE UTILITIES REQUIRED AT THOSE LOCATIONS, AND THEN, THE 150 THOUSAND DOLLARS IS PART OF THE FUNDING ITEM THAT COUNCIL APPROVED IN MARCH -- TO THE 15TH, ALSO, AND THAT'S PART OF THE 250 THOUSAND DOLLAR ITEM TO BEGIN TO REPAIR GENERAL FUND FACILITIES, AND UM, THE OTHER HUNDRED THOUSAND YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE, BUT THIS IS TO REPAIR SOME FACILITIES AROUND PARKS AND K ONE SCORE BOARD AND TRYING TO DO SOME CRACK CEILINGS ON VARIOUS TRAILS, AND SIGNAGE FIXED PLAYGROUND SLIDES AROUND THE CITY, AND MAKE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE CALDWELL PARK RESTROOMS, AND THE LAST ITEM IS TO APPROVE THE STATUS NINE MAINTENANCE WORKER, AND THIS IS OFFSET BY GRANT FUNDS. THE NEXT ITEM MOVES INTO THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET REQUEST, SO FOR PHYSICAL YEAR, 21, 22, 23. THERE'S BENEFIT COSTS THAT ARE NOT COVERED BY NOT FOR SEEN BY THE BUDGET PROCESS, FOR BENEFITS, AND THEN ANIMAL CONTROL HAD SOME ENERGY CARE, AND IT'S HARD TO ENVISION WHAT EMERGENCY CARE IS NECESSARY, AND FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS REQUEST IN PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22, TO COVER EMERGENCY CARE THAT'S TAKEN ON. THE NON DEPARTMENTAL, THERE'S A 40 THOUSAND DOLLAR REQUEST TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO TIGER FIELD SCORE BOARD, THIS IS PART OF A LARGER PROJECT GOING ON OUT THERE, BUT THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THE CITY CONTRIBUTION TO THAT PROJECT. AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM IS THE REST OF THE 250 THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN FRONT OF COUNCIL AND WE'RE NOW PUTTING THE IN THE BUDGET RESOLUTION, THIS IS ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ON REMAINING GENERAL FUND FACILITIES, THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY FALL UNDER PARKS, THIS IS INCLUDING, ROOFING, SITING, AND CARTER HOUSE, AND TEAM SENDER. THERE'S BROKEN WATER FOUNTAINS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED WITH THIS FUNDING AND THEN THE LAST ITEM THERE, IS WE HAD THE AUDIT FROM 2016 TO CURRENT. THE CURRENT PORTION CITATIONS THAT SHOULD BE CHARGED AND REMANDED TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND THIS IS TO BASICALLY BRING US CURRENT WITH THAT ITEM, AND FORECASTING SOME INTEREST COSTS, FOR A TOTAL OF 18 THOUSAND 9 HUNDRED AND GOING FORWARD WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS WON'T BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO -- SOON THERE'S AN ITEM IN FRONT OF COUNCIL TO ACTUALLY TRANSITION IN THE PARKING CITATION SYSTEM. THE NEXT IS FOR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. THIS STARTS WITH THE STREET FUNDING, AND THESE ARE THE NUMBERS HERE WHERE I'LL STOP AND FOCUS ON A LITTLE BIT. 2.7 MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS THE STREET REPAIRS FUNDING. THIS IS OFFSET FULLY BY AN INCREASE IN TDA REVENUES, AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WORKED WITH OUR PARTNERS TO DETERMINE THAT THERE WAS REVENUE THAT WE SHOULD BE GIVEN THAT WE WILL BE GIVEN IN 22, 23 FOR 2.7 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WILL GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS REPAIRING OUR STREETS. AND OUR NEXT ITEM THERE IS UTILITY EXPENSES FOR WATER, AND DUE TO THE DROUGHT, THEY ARE HAVING TO RUN MORE, OF THEIR, UM, ACTUAL GENERATORS TO PUMP THE WATER THAN THEY FORECASTED, AND SO, THAT'S WHAT THAT ITEM COVERS THERE. AND YOU HAVE SOME VEHICLE FUEL COSTS FOR 480 DOLLARS FOR WATER, AND THEN SOLID WASTE 84 THOUSAND, 40 IS AND IN LARGE NUMBERS, IN 22, 23. THE REASON FOR THAT LARGE NUMBER, IS THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE AROUND FROM SOME OTHER SAVINGS TO COST THE BUDGET, AND MINIMIZE THE COST SAVINGS. AND IN 22, 23 THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE ORIGINAL BUDGET INTENTIONS AND AUGMENT THAT FUEL AREA TO THE AMOUNT NECESSARY. AND THEN INCREASED TO THE CONTRACTUAL COST TO 22, 23 FOR THE VARIOUS COSTS INCREASING, AND TRANSPORTATION INCREASING IN DISPOSABLE VOICE. SO THE AIRPORT BUDGET, THEY HAD SOME DAMAGE TO THE SOLAR FARM SO THEY HAVE UTILITY EXPENDITURE IN EACH PHYSICAL YEAR, BECAUSE THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING THAT FIXED I BELIEVE, AND IN TURN, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE THEIR POWER BILL OFFSET, THE OTHER ITEM IN PHYSICAL YEAR 21, 22 IS A CLEAN UP, STAFF REPORTS TOLD COUNCIL THAT THIS 59 THOUSAND 1 HUNDRED WILL BE COVERED BY GRANTS, AND WE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS NO
