Board of Supervisors — 2025-11-04

Okay, now we're ready. It is I am Laura Capps and good morning everybody it is my honor to call to order this meeting of the November 4th 2025 meeting of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. Madam Clerk please call the roll.

and please join us

Thanks everyone for joining before we begin. I just do want to acknowledge that it is election day and I hope everyone has either voted or is making a plan to vote. There we go, Supervisor Nelson? And I also do wanna acknowledge the sad news of, I woke up to that the passing of our former Vice President Dick Cheney. He was our 46th vice president, also our secretary defense. He served honorably as a member of Congress for 10 years from Wyoming and also had the distinction of being our youngest White House chief of staff ever.

So we wanna acknowledge his family and his service this country. With that, we will move to our first item of business which is the approval of minutes from our last meeting which was October 21st. Hartman moves approval.

Second.

Great! We have a motion and a second. All those in favor please say aye.

Aye.

Motion passes. Madam CEO do you have a report for us this morning? There's no report this morning chair. Okay And Madam Clerk, do we have any announcements for our agenda? Chair Kaps and

members of the board I do have a few announcements this morning. We received a withdrawal request from Supervisor Nelson's office to withdraw administrative item number 31 from today's agenda. Administrative item number 31 is sponsored by Supervisor Nelson and it is to approve the reappointment I would like to note for the public and anyone watching today that we will be taking, we do plan on taking two breaks today.

AM and one at 1 PM. So again, we will be taking two breaks today there are there is no closed session agenda or lunch break so we'll just be taking two breaks one at 11 and one Additionally, for information on the Board of Supervisors methods of public participation and instructions on how to provide public comment on items listed on today's agenda or during general public comment please refer to page 2 of the agenda.

Individuals that would like to provide verbal public comment may do so via Zoom by registering in advance via the link available on page two. If you have any questions please contact the clerk of the board's office at area code 805-568-2240 again that number is 5, 6, 8 to 2, 4, 0. And lastly I did just want to announce that as everyone can see better is live here in the room today we are very full and we do have quite a large crowd for an item on today's agenda And we have opened up to the room next door, the Board of Supervisors Conference Room and as well as downstairs the Planning Commission hearing room for overflow. So if members do not have a seat yet and you are lined on the back or double rowed in the back, we are going to ask you to move to those other overflow rooms.

There is about 10 spots still available In the conference room and additionally, some more spots downstairs. And I'm going to turn it over to our fire marshal Fred Tan who can maybe help explain the room when it is at capacity and some availability downstairs. Fred?

Sure. Coincidentally, I'm presenting fire code today for next year.

Perfect!

But we do the fire code does make allowances and requirements for access along the aisleways so if there's an open seat which i think some have possibly disappeared, I would encourage everyone to take an open seat. We want to conduct this meeting safely. I know this is a very important topic to many of you that are here But if we don't get any volunteers to move to the conference room next door or the planning commission room, I'll start making some choices and make sure we can get people in and out of here for egress in case something does happen. So if we can clear the walls along this side just because that access is impeded And I think we're going to be okay with one row of individuals. But if we're getting to the second row, we are having some, we are getting a little cramp in this alleyway here.

So if you can't find a space and you're finding yourself squeezing in, I think you're gonna have to find a different spot here. And folks to the back and Jacqueline, are they going to be able to make public comment from the PC?

Yes. That's a great question We do have a member of my office down in the Planning Commission hearing room accepting speaker slips So please just fill those out and we'll have staff running those up to us I will be calling off three people at a time so if you are in the planning commission room You'll hear your name when you do hear your name. Please make your way upstairs. We do have elevators and stairwell to help guide you up here So again, if you are in the planning commission room or the board conference room and you did sign up to speak, you will be able to hear your name and then just make your way to the hearing room to provide your comments.

There's one more seat up here if anyone wants to take that. And then everyone on this side wall over here we're gonna have to ask you to make a move Either next door or down in the Planning Commission room downstairs. And then, I understand you guys are county employees but we do have to keep an access clear here so let me go take a look.

And while Fred is doing that I did just, I think most folks are aware now but just so everyone is aware that is providing comments for departmental item number three regarding our stable appeal. The chair has indicated that each individual will be getting one and a half minutes to speak so that is for everybody across the board one and a half minutes per speaker today not the presenters of course just for public comment on that item And additionally, just a friendly reminder to folks that are in person if you can please silence your cell phones now. That would be greatly appreciated.

It helps eliminate disturbances today. I'll just give Fred another minute in case he wanted to make any other announcements. And there's one more spot up here in the front if a member of the public wants to snag that spot in the front row. Thank you everyone for your cooperation and patience this morning already I believe that concludes Yeah it's from Fire Marshal and that concludes my announcements this morning.

Well thanks to our fire marshal clearly safety is number one here but also is decorum, this is democracy in action folks so we're going to keep it up for any newcomers we do Really appreciate clapping during the resolution portion, which is coming next in our agenda. But when it comes to public comment we keep it quiet and respectful so that we can continue our items and we can just show any kind of support with a wave of the hands but definitely no clapping or booing or jeering of any sort. So I might need to remind folks later on of that but hopefully not.

Okay, with that we will move on to our administrative agenda. Thanks Madam Clerk. Would any board members like to pull any items from the administrative agenda? Okay then it's just me with A25. Would any members of the public have they requested to pull any items of the administrative agenda?

Chair Kaps and members of the board, we have two requests to speak on administrative item number 8.

Administrative item number 8. Okay so now I'll entertain a motion to approve the balance of the administrative agenda except for those 2 items, item A8 and A25.

So moved.

Thank you Supervisor Hartman. May I have a second please? Second. Thank you Supervisor Nelson.

Chair Kaps, members of the board before we vote that includes the withdrawal of the announcement that I made for A31.

Okay so that includes, that motion includes also that withdrawal. All those in favor please say aye. Aye. Motion carries. Okay next as I mentioned we'll have the resolution portion of the agenda. Madam Clerk please read administrative item number one into the record.

It offers a place near the high school, Lompoc High School where kids can go after school. They can go on Friday nights. There's games, there's tutoring. You can win points and go on amazing field trips and you can come up with ideas that get implemented in the way that Christopher's did so it really offers a tremendous set of resources for Lompoc youth and we're so proud of Christopher for taking advantage of it.

Chair Kaps and members of the board, administrative item number three is sponsored by Supervisor Lee. It is to adopt a resolution of commendation honoring Stacey Janus upon her retirement from the Information Technology Department after over 33 years of faithful and distinguished service to the citizens of Santa Barbara County. And joining us in person today we have Stacey Janus.

Whereas Stacey Janice started her career with the County of Santa Barbara in 1988 as a temporary worker in elections and general services while attending UCSB, and held her first regular position as an account clerk three in social services in 1992. Stacey returned to general services in 1994 as an account clerk three, and in 1996 she was promoted to the role of departmental assistant senior working in telephone services. In 2008, Stacey was promoted to EDP Office Automation Coordinator and in 2021 to her current role as EDP Office Automation Coordinator Senior. And whereas during her tenure at the county, Stacey was recognized as County Employee of the Month in December 2014 and again in November 2019. She also served as a member of the Information Technology Department Transition Team in 2022 as part of the county's transition to the new Information Technology Department in 2023.

And whereas in her 30 years in telephone services, Stacey saw the county's telephone and voicemail systems through numerous complex upgrades moving to digital remote units and PBXs. And from there upgrading again adding VoIP telephones. She helped in virtualizing telephone application servers and implementing voice recognition functionality on the voicemail system and much more.

She contributed to five-digit calling easing communication between County employees and the E911 system. Supporting the safety of everyone in the county. And whereas Stacy's job knowledge, skills and experience have contributed greatly to the overall professionalism and success of information technology and communications at the county. Stacey also made significant contributions in other areas from serving as the ITD marketing team lead from 2022-2025. To working at the EOC Logistics Communications Unit since 2007. And she was a faculty member of the Employees University from 2000-2007 And whereas Stacey is commended for her faithful and devoted service to the county community, Stacey's technical expertise, dedication, professionalism, positive demeanor and her skilled storytelling will be greatly missed by her friends and associates throughout the county.

Now therefore be it hereby ordered and resolved that this Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara does hereby acknowledge and commend Stacey Janice upon her retirement from the Information Technology Department passed and adopted today.

Members of the board, my fellow county employees, family and friends. My voice is bad because I've been cheering for the Dodgers. Whether you're in this room or watching online, I'm so grateful for your presence. It means the world to me. One of the best decisions I ever made was randomly picking a temp agency out of the yellow pages. That choice led me to my career and where I'm standing today.

Working for the county wasn't on my life's bingo card, but along the way I found myself, my home, my purpose both in work and in life. I've had the privilege of working along some incredible people. The hard work was always balanced with support and plenty of laughter. For that I am deeply grateful. I always knew I wanted to help people. I found a non-traditional way by working for departments that support everyone else.

It's a different type of service, but one that I take great pride in. To everyone I worked with over the years you shaped my life in more ways than can express. The last 37 years have been an adventure. I truly love my job working for the county and being part of something bigger than myself. Thank you very much.

It is a privilege to speak on behalf of the Information Technology Division in support of this resolution of commendation for Stacey Janos. I invite you to reflect back to 1988, the year Stacey began her remarkable journey with the county. For more than three decades she has been a cornerstone of our telephone services providing steadfast leadership and technical expertise that has shaped our communications infrastructure Stacy's unwavering positivity, her enthusiastic participation in countless volunteer initiatives and her deep institutional knowledge have made a lasting impact.

Her absence will be deeply felt not only for the role she played but for the spirit she brought to our team. Stacey your contributions have left an indelible mark and the shoes you leave behind will be very difficult to fill on behalf of all of us thank you for your years of dedicated service You have truly earned your retirement and we wish you continued joy and fulfillment in the next chapter.

Supervisor Lee. So Stacey, what's the plan for retirement?

Dodger games, Ram games, traveling. Big sports nut everybody here who knows me knows that and just relaxing for the first time in pretty much my life. Thank you all.

Okay. That was Wonderful resolutions. And now we will move to the administrative items pulled by the board and the public, first the public. Just give a moment as these folks depart. Okay. Let's move to Administrative Item Number 8, which was pulled by the public.

Yes Chair Kaps and members of the board and before we proceed to Administrative Item Number 8 I did just want to make a quick announcement there are a couple seats that opened up here in the front. There are three thank you Jesus if you would like to snag those seats in the front please do so and thank you again for everyone's cooperation and patience this morning I really appreciate it We will now go to administrative item number 8. This is sponsored by the Board of Supervisors. It is to consider recommendations regarding a San Ynez Regional Trail Connector, SYRTC study memorandum of understanding and this is in the 3rd district and there's a forfeits vote required on this item. And we do have one request to speak from the public and I did just want to note for the board that we do have Fred Luna from SBCAG available on Zoom as well if there are any questions.

And we will now go to Zoom with Kathy Rosenthal. Good morning. Can you hear me? Yes, we can please proceed.

Okay. Good morning Madam Chair and members of the board. My name is Kathy Rosenthal and I represent the Santa Ynez Valley Riders in our coalition to save Santa Barbara County equestrian trails. I first wanted to say we are in complete support of trails up here in Santa Ynez Valley for equestrian riders. And this particular project, the Santa Ynez Valley River Trail has been in works for many years We've been very active in including equestrian access on this trail, and rightly so. This trail is also a transportation corridor for the valley.

We wanted to again reiterate that the original idea for this was the Ventura River Trail down in Ojai. Which accommodates pedestrians, bikes and equestrian riders. And we wanted to make sure that the design going forward includes that. We wanted to also say that we had a community meeting in the summer of 2024 in which there were a great many equestrians supporting this project but also wanted to see the road shoulders or the trail shoulders wide enough so that equestrians would be able to traverse the trail as well And do so safely. So I wanted to include that this comment as the design goes forward we will be involved in following the project as it is developed and approved and we thank you again for the time to speak and we'll be in touch.

Thank you.

Thank you. And that concludes public comment on that item and again Fred Luna from SBCAG is available for any questions the board may have.

Okay, any questions from the board? No. Then I will entertain a motion on this item A8.

Move approval.

Second.

Okay we have a motion and second all those in favor please say aye. Aye. Motion carries. Okay then our second item when you're ready Madam Clerk is Item A25 an administrative item that I pulled from the agenda

Yes, Chair Kapsa and members of the Board. Administrative Item Number 25 is from the Sheriff Coroner's Office. It is to consider recommendations regarding an amendment to the Enterprise Fleet Management Equity Lease Agreement.

Thank you. Yeah, if you could please explain it I had some questions just about the fact that this is a last-minute request that's coming at us about an expansion. I know it's not additional funding from the general fund but unanticipated costs that are coming related to our enterprise rental fleet and so if you could just explain and I'd had some additional questions but I wanted to give you the chance to please explain what What's at hand?

Okay, I appreciate you letting me have this opportunity to talk to you about it. What we're asking for is an increase in the existing contract purchasing authority. The original contract was negotiated back prior to COVID. Since then, we've exceeded the normal 3-4% annual increases that were and that contract amount was based on some years during COVID. It was 6%, 11%.

That increase that was unanticipated due to the pandemic is what's reflected here in the additional amount that we would like to have the authority to use to pay for this contract. It's not asking for any more money than we're budgeted for, and we don't anticipate needing additional funds You know once this contract is over and we do anticipate, well we will be coming back to you early next year with a comparison between Enterprise and GSA. We're currently working with the GSA folks on that right now and have been for a couple of weeks, months now, to make sure that we have an apples-to-apples comparison between two very different ways of managing a fleet.

We're not going to bring anything to you that we haven't found an agreement with the GSA on so that we make sure that we have the best decision made and the most economical decision made. And either way that it goes, it's not going to result in us asking for more money one way or the other. Does that make sense to you?

I think so. So just my understanding was that this was a pilot project prior to COVID as you mentioned where the Sheriff's Department wanted to go outside of our central centralized fleet I know that happens in other departments, but it's been. I just want to understand, I'm glad you have committed to an evaluation of that pilot project because by nature pilot projects are pilot and need to be evaluated to see why is it that we're having a centralized And I just want to see.

I don't know if there's unanticipated costs with the centralized program, but again this would be a flag for me. And I do have another question you say that we won't be coming back for additional funds but my understanding from our budget team is that there's only $160,000 left in the budget for this program, yet there would be a total of about 350 to for the remainder of the contract. So would you be coming back for that additional 190 to get through the remainder of the contract?

No we're not anticipating needing to do that at all and like I say when we get back to The New Year's when we're able to give you the comparison between the two of them. I think you'll find that regardless of whether it was Enterprise, GS or your own personal vehicles that the price did go up significantly over the COVID years supply chain logistics maintenance now all that sort of stuff increased equally sort of like a rising tide lifts all boats unfortunately this rising tide was rising the cost of all of the automobile industry across the board We're going to iron out any of the differences that we have in between enterprise and the GSA models so that we can give you a good comparison.

And whichever way works out the most economical, we're gonna go with and either way shouldn't require an increase in the budget one way or the other.

So that evaluation of this pilot project is 100% going to happen? Before it's, before this contract with Enterprise is renewed.

Yes speaking with the GS folks just this morning about it we're gonna make that happen so that you can see it before this contract ends and so we can make the best decision because we all want to save money together

Okay, I just again well maybe I can make that part of the motion but I do want to have some assurances of that because again this is about the third or fourth unanticipated cost that's come before the board. This one gives me less heartburn because it's not additional pressure of on the general fund at a time when we're considering layoffs and other departments. That's helpful that this is an additional cost, but there's been a lot of unanticipated costs from the Sheriff's Department I'm repeating myself because of the consternation that has caused not just to the board but to other departments and to the public so I think I've made my point I don't know if there's any other questions or Comments? Supervisor Lee.

Just a question, can you define what the fleet is specifically in the Sheriff's Department? Is it patrol cars?

What does that mean? Supervise Lee through the chair yeah this is all of our vehicles right now it's kind of divided up where the patrol side is managed by GS I'm generalizing right now and the rest of the vehicles are managed by Enterprise and we're sort of comparing how those work out

Supervisor

Nielsen.

Yes, thank you Chair Kaps. So you said you'd come back to us by the end of this contract so this contract ends in a couple months here so we're looking at having something here by potentially into February is that what I'm or?

Before that I hope yes. Okay

all right so yeah I think part of the motion if you would like me make it for you Supervisor or Chair Kaps would be Go with staff recommendation but also direction that the pilot project come back for a D item before the board.

Yeah, yes with Director Loggerquist's buy-in obviously because again I'm not sure exactly It wasn't on the board when the decision was made to have the pilot project. I'm sure there was merit to it at the time, but I just note again that there's been a lot of unanticipated costs from this department, the total of $16.7 million in year-end shortfalls since 2020 so...

It's a lot that we've been asked to and some departments come to the board ahead of time when there's unanticipated costs. And I'm just asking you, that might be a good approach given the frequency of these types of expenditures? That's fair enough yes. Okay. Just

trying to help out with your motion for this return back to the board by the end of February for a report to the board so pass this recommended action along with that direction.

Sure, if you want to make that motion.

Okay. Yeah, that's my motion staff recommendation along with a report back to the board by the end of February of 2026. I'm

happy to second that. All those in favor?

Aye. Thanks look forward to talking to you about this later on.

Thank you. Okay with that we have finished the administrative agenda and now we move to the portion of the agenda for general public comment. So just to be very clear, this is for the time when the public can speak to us and the public about items that are not on the agenda. Madam Clerk do we have folks that have signed up for general public comment?

Yes, Chair Kaps and members of the board. We have four members of the public requesting to speak in general public comment and if you are a member of the public I believe there is one who signed up for general public comment Larry Barrett. You might be in the planning commission room if you want to make your way up we will get to you momentarily. We'll begin on zoom with Daniel H to be followed by Renny Strong. Daniel?

And Daniel, we have unmuted you on our end. If you can please unmute on your end to provide your comments? Again, Daniel, we have unmuted you on our end. If you can please unmute on your end to provide your comments. I see you are still muted. All righty, we will return to Daniel momentarily. We are going to go to Rennie Strong and then we will go to Karen Hauenstein.

Rennie? And Rennie, we have unmuted you on our end if you can please unmute on your end to provide your comments. Yes, please proceed.

Very good thank you. Good day everybody. Everybody this is Renny Dean Strong also known as Mr. Soloflex thanks to Phil Donahue. I'm speaking solo flex means a lot to me it's changed my life um i got to travel the world i got to be on tv And I've got to witness a lot of things and different cultures living in Barcelona, Spain and Milan, Italy. There's a lot of things that I've seen that no one should have to see. And there's things I haven't seen but I feel.

I'm speaking out to everybody and seeing all these crimes against humanity that are taking place And all these injustices. And you all need to know that this system is, it's a C-Y-S-T. It's a cyst, it's a disease and these puppets that are up on that stage they play both sides. They're called coyotes in the native indigenous way so I'm honoring my grandmother and grandfather on my mom's side who was a Johnny Lou Purtle, Slawoski now I'm married to a Marine and was a paralegal to the top law firm on Oahu. John Yamani, I took on the line of fires and the fires that are going on here. I'm giving you guys a lot of information really quickly but we need to say no more.

We're not playing your guy's game anymore. And Steve Stavely my uncle who is head of Department of Justice of California Police down in Buena Park he was the chief of police of the whole state of California Arnold Schwarzenegger, so that's my mom's only brother-in-law. And when I asked about the COVID 1984 and the jabs and about the geoengineering our skies from the Air Force bases which my dad was in two tours in Vietnam as I spoke before about that.

And all these harms that are going on, the direct energy weapon to firing, the fires that are started by this own government And these heads here that are just puppets, they're getting paid. And you guys need to know this, they live. John Carpenter talked about it and others and I will so I'm running for by the way Arnold Schwarzenegger is my cousin supposedly two Austrians on my dad's side grandfather's side Leonard Strong. So I like to put my seat in and that we vote for new leadership in our communities towns The governor, I will be the governor. I'll be the mayor. I will be the county head supervisor or whatever.

Whatever we need that the ambassador of the 805 is what I call it on Stop Geoengineering California Facebook page and again stop going after ice needs to get dismantled people need to say no more to these thugs with guns and obviously there's so much brainwashing MK alternates that people need to know what that means go back and replay this And follow me on the 805 Santa Barbara County Crimes Against Humanity.

And Ren Strong, I have R-E-N-N S-T-R-O-N G and let's transform these National Guard armories that...

Thank

you,

Rennie, that is your time.

They're on Canon Perdido.

We will now return here in Santa Barbara with Karen Hauenstein to be followed by Larry Barrett.

I am Coast Audits on YouTube. Good morning public, good morning gatekeepers, good morning corrupt liberal elite and Bob. Don't look at me like that, Steve. I know all about you. You grew up in a quasi-Bohemian Grove situation and I think it might be leading you around a little bit but that's okay. We forgive everybody, okay? But when we take a really close look at this county, a really close one We see these partisan strongholds.

We see long established partisan networks, and then we see a lot of mistakes. Mistakes made by this county are all controlled by the liberal elite attorneys who work for the county Beginning with the Queen of Corruption, Joyce Dudley. Joyce Dudley and her corruption and permissiveness is the reason why to this day we have a sexual predator working in classification at our South County Jail.

I am Coast Audits on YouTube. Anyone who's listening to this comment right now, if you know of corruption in our county contact me through Coast Audits on YouTube. It will be investigated and it will be exposed. Going onto our list all of County Council is liberal elite All of the district attorney's office is liberal elite. Even Tracy Makuga, the head public defender she is also liberal elite. Roy why are you laughing? This is not a laughing matter I'm certain of it.

Joan Hartman you're an attorney so was John Park When you look at the planning that's gone in to what you've done, it's very interesting. I am Coast Audits on YouTube. Thank you.

We will now go to Larry Berent then we will return to Zoom to try Daniel H again. Larry?

Can I let the hubbub die down or should I start speaking? Chair Kaps, Supervisors. I'm Larry Barrett from Indivisible Santa Barbara a member of the 805 Immigrant Coalition. A few weeks ago, this board addressed its confessed lack of knowledge about the activities of immigration enforcement in this county by asking Sheriff Brown to share some of what he learns from ICE, deep conflicting notices.

These are notices ICE provides to local law enforcement to warn them of impending ICE actions. But Sheriff Brown turned you down. He said that sharing information he receives from ICE after the fact Could be construed as obstruction of justice or, quote, interfere with ongoing federal prosecutions. Well as excuses go this makes my dog ate my homework sound like creative genius.

Let's state the obvious. Giving us information about ISIS prior activities cannot impact those prior activities because you have cause and at a later point you have effect. Unless the sheriff claims the power to disobey natural law, he must be claiming that sharing what he knows about ICE's prior actions could impact ICE's ability to take future actions. But that doesn't make sense because ICE itself provides detailed information about its own activities. It's here in this report.
