Board of Supervisors

Before I call the roll, I'd like to note for the record that Supervisor Anderson is participating via teleconference. As such all votes will be handled by a roll call vote. At this time Supervisor Anderson will make a statement about participating remotely and disclose whether anyone over the age of 18 is in the room with them as well as their relationship to the supervisor

First, pursuant to government code 54953 under the provision set forth in the assembly bill 2449 and 2022. I will be participating remotely in this October. 8th or 7th 2026 Board of Supervisors meeting session during due to just cause for the following reason. Contagious illness that prevents member from attending in person

Okay before we begin the business before our board today, we recess to complete closed session. We estimate the remaining items for closed session will take 45-60 minutes So we will not reconvene before 9.45 AM, that's our estimated reconvening is 9. 45 but we will return after closed session is complete. When we return, we will begin with item 15 from yesterday's session first and then we continue with the land use agenda. We now recess to close session thanks.

Board will now recess into closed session to consider those matters listed under item 16 on yesterday's agenda Okay, we're all good. Yeah.

You. We now proceed with the closed session report. Council is to report from closed session today.

Thank you, Chair Lawson-Reamer. The Board of Supervisors met in closed session on October 6th, 2026 from 422 p.m. to 506 p. m., and on October 7th, 2026 from 906 a.m.. to 1041 a. m. Four board members were present for both sessions. Supervisor Anderson was absent for both sessions. The board took the following reportable actions. On item 16E by a vote of 4-0, the board authorized county council to initiate litigation. Particulars about the litigation will be disclosed to any person upon inquiry after litigation has formally commenced.

On item 16, I by a vote of 3 to 1 with Supervisor Desmond voting no the board authorized County Council to initiate litigation. Particulars about the litigation will be disclosed to any person upon inquiry after litigation has formally commenced

Okay, thank you so much. So we now can move ahead to item 15 from yesterday and that was an item that's introduced by Supervisor Desmond and Supervisor Anderson if either of you have any comments and then we'll go to public comments. Okay sorry your hand is up I see it. Thank You Supervisor Anderson

I would just like to start off by thanking Supervisor Desmond for bringing this late docket item forward with me today. Although the county has been on record in opposing the placement of sexually violent predators in our communities, it's important for us to ratchet up our opposition and express our growing concerns to the Superior Court There have been a lot of activities related to the placement of sexually violent predators in San Diego County recently.

I'd like to start by making, when we initiated it because it was a late docketed orb letter We neglected to add John Phillips. He's a sexually violent predator whose placement in Borrego is also being considered in our letter to the Superior Court, so I'd like to make that amendment in the motion moving forward to pass this to include him. While the court is expected to decide as early as October 15th on the proposed placement of two more sexually violent predators in San Diego County, no one knows where other sexually violent predator Earl Wakefield is right now.

That should be extremely concerning, not just to the residents of rural communities where these sexually violent predators continue to be dumped by the state and their contractor Liberty Healthcare but by all county residents. Once these individuals are no longer supervised they can go anywhere in the region. In the case of Murrow Wakefield This sexually violent predator was convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old and raped by force.

Because he removed his GPA, I think it's supposed to be a GPS monitor while working in Rancho Bernardo, he can no longer be tracked and is still at large. It should be unconscionable to place more of these individuals who have committed some of the most heinous crimes, while our law enforcement agencies are engaged in a manhunt to find the sexually violent predator forced on us by the state.

It's also important to know that the state and its contractor do when escapes from the supervision occur How they plan to change their process and ensure these incidents don't occur in the future. I would also like to thank the Chair for recognizing the importance of bringing this issue forward today and allowing the Board to weigh in with the Superior Court before October 15th placement hearing by allowing this late docketed item. I respectfully ask my colleagues to support the recommendations that we've brought forward, and that's my motion.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you very much Supervisor Desmond

I'll just go ahead and second the motion. And thank you very much Supervisor Anderson for bringing me on board on this board letter, and I concur that it would be in recommendation number two to include John Phillips in that along with the Michael Poulsen and Rinaldo D'Alessario to include John Phillips who's going to be placed or proposed to be placed in Borrego Springs. So did we give you the language on that? Okay, I don't know if you want to put that up but we just want to add that because Mr. Phillips hearing was the day before although it wasn't decided but his hearing was a day before Wakefield escaped And so we just wanted to add his name to that recommendation number two. So I appreciate the Supervisor Anderson, yes and we do not want any more of these sexually violent predators placed in San Diego County until Wakefield is caught and measures are taken to make sure this doesn't happen again.

So, I'll second the motion and thank you very much.

Okay, thank you. We'll go to public comment?

Thank you chair Lawson-Reamer. We do have 11 total requests to speak, 4 individuals in person and 7 requesting to speak by phone. Also like to note for the record we did receive 5 e-call months on this item all five were in favor For those that requested to speak by phone, if you could please dial into the conference line now. We'll go ahead and begin with those in-person speakers. As your name is called, please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak at the podium. You will then have one minute to address the board. If you could please begin by stating your name for the audio record. I'd like to invite forward the first three individuals.

Allegedly Audra, Mary Davis, and Corbin Winters.

It's funny that you have authority to micromanage drug dealers, but you have no authority over sexually violent predators. But you do have authority who you contract with. Why are you guys contracting with Liberty Healthcare if they're doing this in our county? Wouldn't that make you want to look at that contract and say hmmm... Are you who we should be contracting with for jail-based services if you are the ones that are ensuring through the state that this gets put into our communities? You guys always act like there's nothing you can do. You can look at that contract and you can say, we're not going to contract with them anymore if they're going to do this.

You're just giving them more money. They're getting plenty of money to house these people. It's very lucrative at the cost of our communities. So when are you willing to look at who you contract with? Don't shame them and then contract with them. And that's what you guys do. You can have the best of both worlds, if you actually care, then you should do that and cancel that contract.

Next speaker is Mary Davis, Corbin Winters, Jeffrey Osborne, and Tonya, I believe it's Ayu. May come forward in any order

Good morning, Supervisors. My name is Corbin Winters and I'm a resident of Jacomba. There are currently three sexually violent predators in my immediate neighborhood of less than 200 houses. That's not to mention the SVPs that live on the outskirts of our community I was recently made aware of a supposed rehabilitated sexually violent predator who lives two doors down from me. We were given zero notification although he is supposedly rehabilitated on the Megan's Law website, he has been given a risk assessment of five which means an above average chance of reoffending This man was determined that he has two counts of lewd or lascivious acts against children under 14. I just don't think this is someone who can be rehabilitated or ever left to live in front of a children's bus stop, which is where he is.

Thank you.

Thank you. Next speaker may come forward in any order

Good morning. My name is Tanya Ayau, A-I-A-U and I'm a co-manager at the Hicumba Community Center where we serve lunch and breakfast to both the youth and the older people and the middle people of Hicumba. And I would like to know what that money that he is earning at that job goes to? Is it like being paid to people here or is the health care, Liberty Health getting that money back? Why are they working in jobs? Would you want your Your cousin, nephew, niece that's 20 something working with one of those people at your job and not knowing that there's a risk with that person because they have a history of doing stuff. What about Wakefield? Did he pick up some poor little kid on his way out wherever he's at now? Because he knows the back country because he lives out there.

I've personally called for the sheriffs at the community center one day when I had two seniors physically having a blowout and it took them 1 hour and 20 minutes. One hour and 20 minutes response That's plenty of time to do an awful lot of damage to anybody. Everybody up there is aware that these people are out there, there's nothing we can do. Thank you and help us.

Good morning Supervisors, my name is Jeff Osborne. I'm the Chair of the Acomba Community Sponsor Group. I am the President of the Highland Senior Center and on the Community Services Board. I want to speak on this topic because I've pretty much spent all my time trying to uplift the Mountain Empire communities And the placement of these predators goes well beyond just the rights that they may have. It affects our community's psychological ability to operate, all of our parents talk about it nonstop. They're constantly concerned about these people and their neighborhoods down the street from them. Anyone we look to hire asks us what's the deal with the sexually violent predators? I talked to our superintendent of the school district he says every new teacher wants to know are they gonna move out to our communities while I don't know There's sexually violent predators there.

I don't want my family there, but they'll drive up from the other communities to teach in our schools. I think the effects of these people being placed in our communities goes well beyond what we often think of. I hope you consider more action on this. Thank you.

And then one final call for Mary Davis, not seeing Mary Davis in the chamber. We'll now go to our phone speakers. When it is your turn to speak you will be unmuted. You will hear a recording that will tell you to begin your comments and we'll go ahead and begin with our first caller.

Hello? Can you hear me?

Yes, we can. Hello

Ryan. Okay thanks. Unincorporated areas have fewer resources, fewer police, fewer deputies and fewer hospitals and ambulances. And therefore inadequate response time for emergencies so SVPs should not be placed there Actually, SVPs should put in a comfy house but on prison grounds until they're not violent and not predators. I agree with Otter by the way. Liberty Healthcare should be kicked out of this county!

This is safety issue and I hope you don't give East County the short end of the stick again Between you and Sandag, they have ample grounds for a hefty lawsuit. And...

Thank you your time is up we'll go ahead and go to our next speaker

Good morning, my name is Becky Rapp and I strongly support this item. And also want to address the discussion about limiting public comment based on where someone lives or how often they're allowed to speak. This item involving the placement of SVPs in our county is exactly why the public needs full access to public comment. This impacts all of us. Wakefield was housed in the unincorporated area of the county, but he removed his ankle monitor and escaped while working at Rancho Bernardo. He remains at large and could potentially be anywhere in San Diego County. So which district gets priority to speak about Wakefield? The answer should be everyone!

We are one county. Public safety threats do not stop at district lines, and neither do the consequences of decisions made by this board. Where you live should not determine when you get to speak and what you get to speak about. Please protect meaningful public participation even when you may not agree with what the public has to say. Thank you.

Thank you we'll go to our next caller

It's true, that was well said. Terror-delayed an item about sexually violent predators. San Diego County definitely knows what an unpatriotic authoritarian looks like alright. The policy beliefs of these three wannabe queens who treat perpetrators better than they do victims and ironically hate women are why the SCPs are here. Merle Waitfield, Michael Polson, Renato Del Rosario and John Phillips are a reflection of their sick minds and policies. That is why Waitfield was allowed to just walk away. The toxic criminal first agenda thinking is why they're politically allied judges are releasing SCP's into our neighborhoods. Judge Theodore Weathers is also a pro-criminal progressive and should be held personally criminally liable for his decisions as should all other California judges.

This board, the Consumer Protection Unit and the DA need to sue Theodore Weathers, the State Hospitals, Liberty Health, New Stump, Scott Wiener and anyone else who has advocated for or enabled the release of violent criminals. I wonder if Ebony signing a letter she'll use the auto pen on will mean anything at all coming from this corrupt board? Down with Liberty Healthcare and down with Tara Lawson Reamer.

And Chair Lawson Reamer not seeing any other callers in the call-in queue that will conclude public comment on this item

Okay, I turn it over to Supervisor Desmond. Thank

you Madam Chair

appreciate it just for clarification because I heard quite a few comments the county we do not contract with Liberty Healthcare we don't it is the Department of State Hospitals so this is all state driven this is and there's an election coming up if you want to change some state representatives but this is the Department of State Hospitals contracts with Liberty Healthcare And because of that, these sexually violent predators are now patients.

So they're patients and they have HIPAA protections. So I think it's totally unacceptable. It actually took two hours. Liberty Healthcare is the one that monitors the ankle bracelets. So it took two hours for Liberty Healthcare to notify the Sheriff's Department and law enforcement after this guy cut off his ankle monitor. It took two hours from Liberty Healthcare to do that. The sheriff also had to jump through many hoops in order to get a warrant for Wakefield's arrest because this guy is not under police or law enforcement supervision, he's under Liberty Healthcare's, under the State Department of Hospitals. And so we've asked many times the questions of, are they going to get a job? Or can they get a car? I mean, I was shocked to hear this guy was actually working a job and had a car.

So we've always asked the questions Is this person gonna be able to go to the mailbox? Is this person gonna be able to go to the grocery store? Is this person gonna be able to be let out? And we're always told, we can't tell you because of HIPAA violations. These people have more protections than the rest of us do. The state of California runs these, shoves these guys down our throats and quite frankly even the judges that I've been to many hearings have also said their hands are tied by the state as long as a house meets certain parameters then they can place them there And it's really unfortunate, but it's not the County of San Diego. We don't contract with Liberty Healthcare. It's Department of State Hospitals and I wish we had that authority, but we don't so thank you very much for letting me make those clarifications.

Okay, thank you so much. We have a motion on the floor in the second. Seeing no other request or comment please vote.

and that motion passes unanimously with all supervisors being present and voting aye.

Okay thank you so much Thank you. I think we're done, right? Oh yeah. Do we have any non-agenda public comment? Okay sorry. We'll do the remainder of non-agenda Tuesday public comment and then we'll roll to the

Wednesday session. No, no. We just have a Wednesday land use for public

comment. We don't have it. We're done.

That's

what I thought we were. Yes, done with Tuesday land uses. Great that's what I thought okay so I was uh yeah so we're now moving over to Wednesday Okay, so go ahead. We'll begin with knowledge and a public comment for Wednesday.

Thank you chair. Lots of rumor we do have 11 total requests to speak three individuals in person eight requesting to speak by phone for those that have requested to speak by phone if you could please dial into the conference line now we will go ahead and begin with in-person speakers and again as your name is called if you could please come forward and stand on the arrows until it is your turn to speak at the podium. You then have two minutes to address the board and if you can please begin by stating your name for the audio record like to invite forward Thomas Wall Robert Gurman and allegedly Audra

Good morning Supervisors. While I'm here in front of you, Joel we got an invite out to you to come to Town Hall and Boulevard. We really would love to have you out there. Hopefully y'all remember me. I'm Thomas Wall. You remember our powerful community from the Starlight Project last month? I just want to take a moment to really share how proud, first of all, I am of our town. I'm glad you're all kind of looking at me right now. I really appreciate that.

We worked really, really hard. We organized. You saw videos. I think you saw a difference in how we showed up. I want to share one really stark point that I think is important for all of you to hear You know, at the Commissioner's meeting I really felt like they advocated for us. They listened, they pushed back against a permit applicant and unfortunately we did not feel that from any of you. You really just kind of aligned with the permit applicant when we needed two really important things. We needed those batteries moved because that made the project safer and you kind of lined with the permit applicant to just make it more about money because they didn't want to spend that money and then the county didn't want to do the EIR And the other point was like you didn't advocate for that Community Benefits Impact Fund.

You know, like you did that in JVR. You could have really pushed that forward so it was really, really disappointing. So my question for you all and I'd love one of you to answer this is how come you didn't advocate for us? I have 26 seconds left, 25. I'd love to hear from one of you please. It's really sad.

Okay, this is going to be another learning experience. I apologize... Robert Gurman. I apologize, I can't get the sidebar out of it so... Starts out with California jet owners delinquent on aircraft property taxes. LA has collected Millions of dollars in back taxes from jet owners who didn't even know that California had property tax on their jets and other aircraft. Hopefully our tax assessor is on top of this better than LA since we're in a budget shortfall, it just always seems like the rich fall through the cracks for paying taxes. I don't know good lawyers Maybe they can't find them in other countries, I really don't know.

The next one is maybe with that property tax money which goes in the general fund we could get some fire trucks for the airports. Do you see any fire truck in there? Although this lady is courageously running down the airport or the runway with her partner filming her and they get to the plane do you still see any fire truck? And by the way, that black smoke is leaded abgas. So it should be classified as a hazmat problem. Not a word mentioned on any TV station.

I think it's disgusting that we can have... We had Cajon Speedway had its own little pickup with fire crew on it. Four people died in 40 years at the Cajons Speedway but yet at our airports that we have 16 of them We have what, one fire crew at Lindbergh? Maybe a fire crew at Carlsbad. But none of the other airports who are extremely busy in Southern California because we have out-of-state aircraft that fly constantly in our airspace and train foreign students who actually, the person that perished in this fire was from a foreign country. How would you like to tell your parents?

Seems like always aviation is exempt from everything. No accountability, thank you.

All right Jim don't get it twisted I didn't say that you were contracting with Liberty Healthcare for the SVPs you contract them for jail-based services for mental health and competency so that is a contract that you could stop if you really were against them being placed and having them do business like that You could, you're just not willing to. You'll sit here and oppose this but you won't really go where it matters so don't twist what I'm saying and make it seem like I'm saying that you guys contracted with them for this. I know that's the state and I even mentioned that. And it's just sad to see that people from Boulevard... It's good actually because people need to see how you guys are but that you can sit there and stay silent when you've been asked why you didn't advocate That's proof in the pudding you guys are so encroaching upon people's lives, micromanaging them.

Saying that you want to hear from them and then doing something like that where people will come in fill the rooms in a town and you dismiss everything they say but then you blame me for reasons why the meetings are toxic or you can't even get your business done or that people don't want to come in. They come in, you disregard them Right? But as long as you paint a picture that it's other people, it's like... You made a blood oath yesterday to go to the Padres game so you couldn't even do the business that you needed to do to get it done.

And you had to trail it over to today! And you didn't even- you said you were gonna spend an hour and a half on closed session, that you should get it done, and then you come in here and make all these people wait?! ! You're lucky that these people have these sexually violent predators being placed in their community so that they could talk about it today. But there were people that wanted to talk about it yesterday, that you disenfranchised. So don't twist things and make it seem like the people are the enemy when you're the enemy of the people.

And you choose to be that. You guys are hypocrites and you invert everything. You sit here and you virtue signal like what you want is the best for the community Then prove it instead of just totally ignoring the communities that you claim to represent.

Now we will hear from those that requested to speak by phone and again in accordance with the board's rules, we'll be hearing from the first five callers. Remaining callers will be heard at the conclusion of today's session. When it is your turn to speak you'll be unmuted and you will hear a recording that will tell you to begin your comments and we'll go ahead and begin with our first caller.

First caller is Consuelo. Your device might be muted.

Thank you so much for that. Gosh, and that's so true they don't advocate for the people they sell us out to the highest bidder. They don't care about the county they're willing to sacrifice it to become the next Los Angeles right Paloma? Right? Yeah, that's all they do. It's all about money. That's it and climbing up that political ladder So yesterday's meeting was a direct result of people not participating. This board, especially the three supervisors who claim to want public engagement yet the people who can't consistently show up because they give a shit right? That's what your video had me saying right Tara that's what our tax dollars are going after TikTok videos.

How do you twist things and lie about people who don't even come it's years long ago footage and you like show it as if its current You're so evil and I just can't say enough about that. But anyways, the people who come because they have been asked to come are the only ones that you pay attention to. It was repeatedly said yesterday if you want respect, you give it by bit. They're taking every bit of freedom from the people and I want to tell the people directly what you don't use, you lose. This is where we're at. So much is changing within our county so fast Are more consumed with things like Padre thing. This board actually had the nerve to sit up there talking about how we are the ones causing meetings to be delayed and prolonged, yet they rush through a meeting like Audra just mentioned to go to accommodate a game before the people's business.

A game while people are suffering, a game while people can't even afford to feed their families yeah. And then here's the hypocrisy more hypocrisy mentioning How they don't want participation from other cities and other districts. And then they have, I mean the people from Los Angeles coming down to take precedence within our...

Your time is up we will go to our next speaker. Next speaker is Barbara Gordon. You need to mute your device.

Okay, okay. Thank you. The San Diego Climate Week is October 1st through 8th we need to protect our environment the rapidly increasing amount of toxic secondhand smoke in the air from vaping and marijuana and cigarettes it continues to rise It's practically everywhere in places like parks, outdoor events and sidewalks. The problem is only getting worse in large part to the rise of vaping and marijuana in California. According to the California Adult Tobacco Survey, e-cigarette secondhand exposure increased more than 65% in two years and marijuana secondhand smoke nearly doubled. There is no safe level exposure to secondhand smoke. I urge the board to enact now and strict free policies in public spaces.

I believe everyone has the right to breathe clean air, yet I find myself constantly exposed to toxic secondhand smoke. Any exposure can be harmful especially to children older adults and people with disabilities. The consequences of secondhand smoke exposure are severe and can lead to health issues such as cancer, stroke, serious respiratory illnesses and heart disease. The public is asking for your leadership in addressing the rise of secondhand smoke. Limiting the number of places where people are allowed to smoke would make San Diego a healthier, more enjoyable place to call home. Thank you very much.

And one more chance, we can't hear you.

Okay and we'll come back to you.

Hi, Natalie Rashti. I just wanted to comment again about leadership and yesterday our top tier leadership and what showing it's frustrating when we come to this level of government and kind of gas lit with what the public is doing and seeing at the top tier It is specifically our right and your job to hear what we have to say, regardless if you like it or the way they say it. I'm not saying it excuses foul language but that's the feelings that people have and you chose that position.

I was reading Aristotle's Ethics and I think that everybody should read that book And the first paragraph says, since moral goodness is concerned with feelings and actions. And those that are voluntary receive praise and blame whereas those that are involuntary receive pardon and sometimes pity too. Students of morale goodness must presumably determine the limits of their voluntary and involuntary. Such a course is useful also for the legislators with a view to prescribing honors and punishments You guys are given that responsibility to hear your people.

And when our top tier leadership shows chaos, disruption, division... That is what you're there for! Thank you.

Thank you. We'll go to our next caller.

Good morning, my name is Andrew Lawson. I'm running for the 79th Assembly District. I just want to remind everybody that when your government becomes tyrannical it becomes a duty of the people to replace that government so don't forget to register to vote even though our government is tyrannical in California and they limit public comment at meetings and they've hijacked our election system and made it legal for people to commit fraud in this state I just want to remind everybody too that Pete Hegseth has directed the military to monitor our elections. So, I really hope that San Diego County is doing something to secure our election systems because I would hate for it to come back on November 4th and find out that there was fraud in our election and this county decided not to do a damn thing about it.

But I would like you guys to take some action before Election Day and secure our elections here in San Diego County. We have reports from the CIA that suggest That our systems have been vulnerable for the past 25 years. Gee, imagine that. Democrats in California having super majority power for over 16 years and it's just a fraud? You guys are ridiculous. I hope you guys do something.

By the way, Prop 1 might have a nice little ballot title of veteran housing but it only provides 11% of funding for the veterans. Furthermore I wonder if this board is ever going to recognize the Trump administration and their efforts to clean up the Tijuana River Valley. Or are you guys just gonna keep lying to the people and tell us that you need more of our tax money or squander away?

Thanks, you guys have a great day.

Thank you and we'll go to our fifth call. We'll go back to Ian for our fifth caller in the morning

Good morning Board of Supervisors, this is Anne Riddle speaking. I called in today like many others because we read the UT article this morning about the changes to the speaking procedures at Board of Supervisors. I felt the article was overdrawn and overblown and it didn't fully recognize or Give credence to the people who speak, who are sometimes very frustrated. This morning is a perfect example of a meeting that was supposed to start at 9 o'clock and didn't get underway until closer to 11. For those of us who call in from the workplace this is really difficult and we make special arrangements to speak to you at nine and then when the meeting's delayed that creates a sort of frustration. And I think we need to look at the role of both sides of this dialogue, both the callers and the Board of Supervisors regarding disability we meet here at Board of Supervisors.

We ask that you'll be more sensitive to your constituents, particularly those of us who live in the unincorporated area. We can't drive down there easily and being able to call in is about the only way we can communicate with you. You don't have commissions that can attend like the cities around us do.

I'm going to pause your time you have there's another device in the background and maybe you may be listening to the meeting. But there is a lot of audio frequency coming through so you do need to mute that

Okay, what I'll do is call back in a few minutes.

Well this is you're the fifth and final speaker so we're going to move on. You have 40

seconds left. There might be somebody in

an adjoining room perhaps there.

Well,

hello

again. There

you are. I think that

someone's listening to a meeting in one of the adjoining rooms to my workspace and they're rushing to turn off their device. Oh, I'm sorry. Give it another shot another day.

Okay thank you in. And her loss and reamer that concludes public comment for a non agenda public communication this morning and again all remaining speakers will be heard at the conclusion of today's session.

Okay, thank you so much. We now proceed with the formation of the consent agenda audits are on consent or routine only be acted upon with one motion says items 1 through 3 do any my colleagues have

No comments, no need to pull any items. I will move the consent agenda.

Chair Pro Tem Aguirre? None, I'll second.

Okay Supervisor Anderson?

None at

this time.

Supervisor Desmond? None, thank you. Okay we have a motion and second please go to public comment.

Thank you Chair Loftin-Reamer. We do have seven individuals that have requested to speak one individual person six requesting to speak by phone for those that are requested to speak by phone please dial into the conference line. Go ahead and begin with that in-person speaker I'd like to invite forward allegedly Audra you'll have two minutes to address the board and if you could please begin uh by identifying which consent items agenda items

I'll start with one, just the way that you guys word things when you say that there's no new information of substantial importance. Makes you wonder what it is because you guys always like to brush things under the rug and say that it's not substantially increased in severity and that's just your determination when again it's like talking about the Tijuana River Valley at number three This has been going on since the 1930s.

And every time we have to help them quit shitting in our yard, it's very interesting because it's like the first time we helped them make a pipeline in 1938 so that it could go out to the sea which that itself is horrific to think about cause I thought you guys cared about the ocean but why are we the ones that are always constantly having to pay to fix their problem? You know, in the 30s when this started it was like 14,000 people. Now there's a couple of million people and bunch more sewage is coming into our yard and we're planning on making plants when they've never even been able to be sustained because they're overwhelmed by the amount of sewage and with the amount of increasing people going there it's like you guys are unwilling to do what you need to with Mexico just like with Liberty Healthcare.

It's like, you know, Mexico, it's not their problem because they're putting it into our yard If it was their problem, their federal government would give them money for it. That's why we should turn off the water that they're getting from the Colorado River. Because I understand there's a treaty, but when they were not giving Texas water it got shut off and immediately they course corrected. Now if they don't have water to ship back in our yard they're gonna probably course correct and get the money themselves instead of it coming from us. You guys keep going like why isn't anybody doing anything? Why aren't you doing what you need to? You contract and do business with Mexico all the time we're giving them tolls It's like, at what point are we gonna really do what it matters?

Because people are suffering and they have been for decades. More than 30 years since the 1930s. Thank

you. We will now hear from those that are requested to speak by phone again when it's your turn to speak you'll be unmuted. You will hear a recording that will tell you to begin your comments and we'll go ahead and begin with our first caller

The TJ River pollution thing has gone on since 1933. Government action since 1944, look at that! The crisis is now spreading kind of wide and now the San Luis Ray has its own pollution crisis. This is more than a crisis, more than an emergency but your response has been mostly to seek external money or resources for it's sake. We need local action, which would be quicker. It's affecting people daily lives. People are getting sicker worse daily.

You mentioned the paragraph we need to action now not in the future, not when Congress or the state can find the money to act. We're getting tired of air purifiers that don't work, of repeated studies which find the same thing. Of people getting sick from the pollution, of money being thrown at so many things that just haven't worked. Time for a new approach. Maybe local action like I keep saying. I have previously mentioned several possible solutions, the main one being handheld pollution monitors to zero in on the buildings and find out exactly where the pollution is coming from. Look at that!

But I can't support the continuation of what is essentially an industry based on promoting the emergency rather than fixing it. Items 1 & 2 are good But let's have a moment of silence from People's Boulevard when you're about to poison or incinerate with inadequate backgrounds. All of the kids who get murdered, raped or stolen with near impunity in county foster or adoptive care

Thank you move on to our next speaker.

Amen. Yeah, that was excellent Paul and Audra. Yeah and giving Mexico our toll revenue is not helping totally amen to that people have to wake up to know that this issue has not been resolved for decades because it's lucrative and let's not dismiss The blame game, the factor of the blame game of administration dropping the ball does the job too. It just keeps the people further divided, further fighting, struggling and it's just a domino effect you know when the people struggle they need things like these air purifiers and keeps the doctors and big pharma In business, it all is conducive to the system and it all continues because people are not able to pay attention. And like I said, the ones who are paying attention are being penalized for it and the ones who are calling out, the ones that are not necessarily pulling the strings but the puppets, calling out the puppets are being entirely...

What's the word? Uh, shit. What's the word? I can't even think of the words. Um, anyways, uh, our reputations are being tarnished. There you go. It's not, that's not the word I was looking for. But anyways, the point is that people who are paying attention or we see it all and that's a shame that others aren't seeing just how politics are a game of politics and how the system provides off of ignorant And a docile public that thinks voting is gonna do the job and it actually perpetuates it.
