Madam Clerk, would you call the first speakers please? Yes. the board took no other reportable action in close session today. Thank you. Thank you, Council. Our next item is public comments. Madam Clerk, would you call the first speakers please. Yes, C. Rocco, Ellen Octenberg, and Addison Ozzles. I'm an illegal alien. I'm also an American citizen. This is my only citizenship, but it's one of them. It took us five years to come to the United States. Five years. And in five years, we all became citizens naturalized. For the sheriff to come here and say that he won't follow the law, no, he has the same obligation as you do, as that is to enforce the law. If you see the law broken, federal state, are you going to ignore it, just pass it by? You don't have the legal right to do that. And your allies, the illegals, let's stop calling them emigrants, because you're really irritating a lot of real immigrants. But you know, you say you don't can't do this and you can't do that, because you don't have the money and you don't have the buildings. You're going to have a public auction soon. You have almost a thousand properties under your control. You own it. You own it. And I guarantee you that auction, which will be only online, you're going to give to your friends. And they're going to become very, very rich. And you tell me you don't have this and you don't have that. You know that the YMCA still exists? The building anyway. Y-Y-W-C-A2? One key, one room. That's all you need. That's called dormitory living, dormitory versus barracks, which is what you do to the homeless. One big room on a whole bunch of bread beds. No. A high rise is the perfect building for homeless. One key, one room, you're safe. Go down Broadway. Go down Main Street. Take a walk on a four-street, go on 17th Street and see all those empty buildings which are good chunk you own. Yet you tell me you don't have the money, you can't have the means and all this other nonsense, you control the money, you control the buildings, you control the laws. And all those wonderful social workers who you gave plaques to, I think you must get a discount on these plaques because you know you're rewarding people who cause death, theft, kidnapping, and you break up families. You know, things like adult protective services and child services and all that, you talk about, you know, not breaking up families and all that and all that other nonsense, they do. And they get paid for it. And that's why one group of them decided to stay anonymous because they know what they're doing isn't right. It's guilt. Admit your guilt. Admit what you're doing. Admit that the first qualification to be a supervisor is dishonesty and that goes to the social workers too because what you're doing isn't right and you're committing crime after crime after crime and I'm here to witness it all week after week thank you your time is up Chairman Ann Bord. Thank you. I, Chairman Ann Bord, thanks for letting me talk. I hear it to mostly speak to written comments that I provided that I hope you got related to real page and built. that you are highlighted an issue that has come up again or that it has been around for a while, that the Department of Justice did file a lawsuit last August against real page, if you're from other of what they do, with all deference to the city of Irvine, they provide the perfect model to understand what they do, Irvine controls 75 to 80% of the multifamily inventory, and they can reprice multiple times a day, and everybody knows it. Well, real page extends that that ability to anybody anywhere. They go out and sign up all the all the management companies and they're doing this in mass. They're doing this in smaller markets. You'll be up in Sacramento, you can ask them. They have a significant market share up, where they're able to control the pricing. Now, the Department of Justice did file a lawsuit. There were originally, I think, eight, now 10 states that are part of that lawsuit. There's two other separate lawsuits. I also suggest that as was alluded to before, sometimes the best cure is done through city ordinances. And I know that you're a county staff, what you do have access to those people, and this is public record, and where it gets out. We are trying to actually coordinate activities of other cities to try to pass similar ordinances in order to fight real page directly, and not rely upon the attorney general and the Department of Justice and some negotiated settlement between the states and real page and another issue this coming up is also Sort of deep deep issue for those who are familiar with credit reporting. I've worked in the industry for 30 some years and watched and horror as they added health care receivables and finally took a long time for us to get those taken out. Now Bill is trying to do the same thing but with rental receivables. They're doing so by trying to entice the young people with points, pays programs where you can get free yoga or trips if you sign up and commit to giving all of your rental history into your credit reports. That's inherently a problem. And unfortunately they don't realize it. This more savvy people do. And I'm just raising this as an issue for you guys to know and maybe talk about in Sacramento. Thanks. After Addison, the next speaker are Paul Hayek, Mark Richard Daniels, and Gabriela Hadogo, and Gabriela's time will be doubled due to translation. Hi, my name is Addison Ozzles and I just turned 18 last week. I'm a senior at Fudhell High School in Tustin and I'm also a small business owner. And so last October I started my lemonade business to make money to help pay for college. But within six months I'm frustrated and feel like nothing but an abused victim of OC Health. In September of last year I came up with the idea of having a lemonade stand in a fully refurbished horse trailer. I found one that was used for sale and I went to OC Health, showed them the photos, and they told me yes I could use it and it could work as a TFF booth. Because of what they told me, I bought it, painted, and added mesh walls and decorated my trailer. I started my business, and I also, according to the agreement, I had fresh fruit that was put into my drinks. But as of two weeks ago, that was all taken away from me. I was told by OC Health that I was no longer classified as a booth, and I could no longer sell the lemonade that they told me I could. So the people in TFF tents can cook meat, have ice, have milk, and do whatever they want, but I could not serve lemonade with fruit in it from my trailer. I inquired multiple times during a meeting two weeks ago on why we were now different from a booth. They never gave me once a straight answer. Another issue that was brought up to me was that OC Health will not give me an annual permit for $610 to sell lemonade. Within two weeks, I have to pay $828 for single event fees to be part of a few markets. $828, that's approximately $10,000 a year that I want to spend for my college. How am I supposed to make money when sometimes I'll even break even and now I have to break even at $500 maybe for a day and I'm not selling $25 meals, I'm selling $7 worth of lemonade. And now they are telling me that in order, now they are telling me that in order to have an annual permit, I have to have a commissary, which costs me $828 up front and then $200 a month, which I do not need. But they still can charge me $207 per event, but they can't give me an annual permit. I feel like OC Health Department is a fee driven and full of contradictions. They say one thing, and then months later, they say, oh, I never said that and take it all away from me. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and I thought this was the perfect time in my seeming senior year. And I'm really, I'm here trying to fight for the survival of my small business, because small businesses are the backbone backbone of our community and I really thank you so much for allowing me to speak here today with you guys Thank you for expressing your concerns To ask you CEO if if we can't inquire as to what's going on there and please let me know Yeah, it's it's my destiny if we could if we could do some inquiries and figure out what's going on. All right. Thank you. Just keep acting afterwards. Thank you. We have the next speaker, please. Paul Hayek, Mark Richard Daniels, and Gabriela Hadogo. Let's carry all the hood I to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Soes a la mesa y a los asistentes. Estoy aquí para lo que aprobablemente solo sea una sesión informativa, más ya que el apoyo incondicional del condado a have given to Clara Vida. You have granted them the capacity to resist any changes, which we consider essential in order to fulfill the purpose of this mental health program, all which appears on their website and portal. Basically, it is continued with the same technique of closing the customers without conforming of the group. Those of us who are unwilling to conform by locking us in their staff office for all to see, after the clients leave without saying a word. They're not willing to participate or to protest or do anything with us. In my case, I have suggested that I should look for another position of support to which I will sit down, since I have been reaffirmed that nothing will change and that the program with which I have no problem should be accepted to the part of thoseiencias en su preparación académica. It was suggested to me that I find another place where I might find support since I was told that nothing's going to change and that the program for which I have no problem with must be accepted by those presenting differences in their academic preparation. La pregunta to you now is why is the board so firmly supporting this corporation? The same place you have blindly deposited all your trust in, all the while accepting their cynicism and their sickening attitudes, all with complete impunity. I know that you accept mere suggestions only. I will continue informing you. Camino Nuevo, hoy clarabida es un programa de salud mental para la comunidad, donde las activities that where the activities of the monthly sketch are all asked him time and time again to let us know what the schedule is so we would know what was happening, but they have refused to do that. We're all clients, we are informed, and we have the opportunity to participate better when we are informed, which has received suggestions. Oh, they have received suggestions from us, and to this day, all have gone ignored. For this reason, and then, for this information, they have it present. Thank you very much. Mr. Vicente Sarmiento, please, please, I beg you all to keep this information front and center. Thank you. Mr. Sarmiento, I would ask that you and I meet at some point. I would really appreciate it. May we have the next speaker please? Next speaker is Brian K. Patty Cabada. And Thund Wong. Happy day. Supervisor Sarmy, onto us sir. Just have a few words. I just want to say thank you. A friend of mine, friend of ours, known him over 10 years. He's the one whose friend had the erroneous problem. And when he asked me to take care of it, I did. What he, when I talked about the other day, was that I tell the truth. I know what I'm talking about, and I care. Even with the hate that you feel free to use against me, I care about you. And I'm glad you gave just a minute to just thank you, please. It's a shame because Supervisor Chafee has the opportunity to look at that document, that false, forged criminal plea agreement, and rather than do it, that he says, no, that's not true. Jump to a conclusion. Don't want to wag her over there. Same thing. So shut up. Call me a fool during public comments. He's jumping to conclusions. What's amazing is just not even six minutes ago, a speaker approached the microphone, very simple, very basic speech. Would you do, Don? Got her information, and he's asking for it to be looked into. When we come down here, any one of us, all we're asking you to do is look into what we're presenting to you. We want you to succeed. You know, sometimes you have to look into things. Ten years of knowing this gentleman that we both know. Consider him a friend. That friendship was earned. He didn't just give me friendship. He had to see that I know what I'm talking about, that I'm right, I tell the truth, and that I care. You know, I'm here because I care about my mom, and my dad, and my wife. After this meeting, I have to go home and report to them what you say to me. You understand that? My mother served 25 years as a government document librarian at Kyle State Fullerton. She sends me down here with information, laws, facts. She says, Brian, share this with the Board of Supervisors so that they will follow the law so that our family doesn't suffer so that we can live healthy, happy, prosperous lives. That's why I'm here. I'm giving you the chance to give me something nice, something good, positive, and take home to my mom. And I hope that when I came here and presented each one of you with plaques and compliments that you would see that and provide in same and kind to me. Happy day. Pettica Bada. On April 8th at 6 p.m. the Placencia, Yorba Linda Unified School District will introduce Protect Women's Sports Resolution. Now I know all of you have your own districts, but I am asking that you please come to listen so that you can get an understanding of what parents are going through and what athletes are going through. This will be one of many. My understanding is this is the first one in California at a local level. We have politicians introducing different bills, but unfortunately they are not moving forward. So locally, many people are trying to push it at a local level. That's why I'm asking that you please attend. Even if it's not your district, I think you should all get a better understanding how it is not hateful for a woman or a girl to say that they only want to participate in something that is with another girl. Biologically boys and girls are different. And unfortunately, as you know, the laws continue to change. And that's why the school district has taken it upon themselves to try to create change at a local level. Now, what you've seen across Southern California and the rest of the country, you will start seeing it again with this. Orange County will be the starting point followed by Chino Hills. So, if you would like to get to know what some of the residents here feel like, what they think in regards to this, I suggest that you go, because this will also happen in each and every one of your districts. This is a good way for you to understand how people feel. And maybe it will open the door to town halls in regards to the subject within your own districts. You were all voted to represent people. And now more than ever is when the people need you behind them to advocate for the rights of biological girls. People only care about what trans students say, but people have forgotten that biological girls have tears too. If you look at the tears of a biological girl, it will make you look at the whole thing completely different. Because unfortunately, they are being discriminated against in their own category. But they are not the same as the boy. We're different. Thank you. Class two speakers are Van Duong is Michael van Kuhlsen and I'm an IHSS provider from God and Grove. I've been a caregiver for three years and I care for my mother and previously provided care for my father who is a veteran. IHSS providers like me work long hours and go above and beyond for out clients because we know just how crucial our work is to them. We share our stories with you and spend time trying to make you see our reality, their reality, but our stories are new to you. You know about the hard work that we do. You know that our community seniors and people with disabilities rely to care and live freely with dignity and the comfort in their homes. You also know that there aren't enough IHSS providers to care for all those who in need in our county and in our country. With 43,000 providers to the more than 51,000 authorized recipients, I know you may identify as Patriot or say that you care for freedom, but the veterans and people in need of care need you to show your patriotism by supporting their freedom to choose their own healthcare. Our life-saving work deserves better pay and our clients deserve the quality we care and we can provide. We don't want to see our clients force into expensive nursing homes and in personal care facilities which will happen if you don't pay us what we deserve. And we aren't giving up. We will keep coming back here and fighting until you stop nickel and damning IHS as providers and come to the table with a real and respectable offer. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Have the next speaker please. The last speaker, Fan Tuong. Well, name's I've been called Mr. Chairman. Well, name's I've been called no further speakers. Okay, he's not here. Okay. With that, we have concluded our public comments. And now we'll go on to our memorial adjournments. I have one. So, this writer has two to understand it. Anyone else? Okay. We'll start with supervisor Wagner. Please go ahead. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, and I do have two to adjourn's in memory today.

We adjourned today in memory of David Myers, founder of Hills for everyone, the non-proof proper group that established the Chino Hills State Park. Dave passed away at his home in Oakland earlier this month. He grew up in the harbor, hiking through the hills of North Orange County. After watching one too many ridge lines bulldozed, Dave decided to save the hills by a desiccously and successfully promoting the idea of a state park of a Braia in New York, Linda. He not only designed the park, we also would fight to fend off multiple housing developments to preserve the environment for recreational and conservation use. With the threat of an international airport looming, legislators and cities joined in with support for his vision. Days original vision is nearly fulfilled. Chino Hill State Park now encompasses over 14,000 acres with another 2,000 in the works. It sits at the juncture of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties, making a willingness experience accessible for urban, woolly, weary residents. As an anchor parcel for other conservation efforts, the park is part of a 28,000 acre complex of conserved land. Following his direct work with Hills for Everyone, they went on to establish the Wildlands Conservancy with retired financial David Gilbaum. As Los Angeles time stated, they build a reputation as one of the most effective conservancy in the country, the unique vision that combines land stewardship with outdoor education for young people. The Orange County Department of Education inside the outdoors program was a beneficiary that business vision has earned numerous title 11 schools as students throughout the county. They played a key role in protecting over 2.3 million acres of wild landscapes and help connect over 1.3 children with nature. David made no longer be with us, but his spirit lives on and every acre protected and every child who experiences the wonder of the outdoors.
