CEO & BOARD COMMENTS
BOARD
COMMENTS:
|
Supervisor Nguyen - Oral
re: Thanked the Chair, County Executive Officer and Doug Becht
and his staff from Office of Care Coordination for their
contributions during a recent senior officials meeting; visit
from HUD officials to Orange County which was prompted by her
trip to Washington, D.C.; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) visit included a tour of the OC Rescue
Commission homeless shelter in Tustin and officials encouraged
the County to apply for upcoming funding related to
homelessness; acknowledged previous efforts to clear
encampments and help homeless individuals in the county;
commended Doug Becht and his team, along with over a thousand
volunteers, for participating in the recent Point-In-Time
count of homeless individuals; count revealed an increase of
37% in homelessness from 2022 to 2024, underlining the
importance of data for assessing the effectiveness of
programs; participated in local outreach efforts in Fountain
Valley to better understand the homelessness situation;
acknowledged her staff's work during Lunar New Year
celebrations, including participation in parades and events,
even in challenging weather conditions; emphasized the ongoing
commitment to addressing homelessness and encourages
collaborative efforts moving forward |
|
Vice Chair Foley - Oral
Re: Invited everyone to the San Juan Creek Flood Channel Town
Hall on March 2 at 6pm to discuss the County's San Juan and
Trabuco Creeks maintenance plans with OC Agricultural
Commissioner, OC Public Works team and Health Care Agency;
acknowledged efforts by OC Public Works and the agricultural
commissioner regarding community concerns about herbicide use
in flood channels; assured glyphosate has not been used in the
Trabuco or San Juan Creek channels since January 2025,
following a compliance investigation triggered by community
complaints and that the county is permitted to use only state
and EPA-approved herbicides for vegetation management to
prevent flooding; contact numbers for U.S. citizens needing
assistance while in Mexico were shared; noted this year’s
Lunar New Year celebrations in Orange County have been
particularly vibrant and well-attended, and thanked Supervisor
Nguyen for the 6th Floor decorations and treats shared during
a recent lunch meeting |
|
Supervisor Sarmiento -
Oral Re: Thanked partners, including Principal Ruben Cales and
the Board of Trustees at Anaheim High School, for hosting a
successful health and wellness resource fair; WARM program
provides motel stays for families during inclement weather and
partners with five local school districts to support families
in need during cold nights and rainy weather; recent audit
report from CalOptima which focused on expenditures and aimed
to investigate potential undue influence during the tenure of
former Supervisor Andrew Do concluded finding no evidence of
fraud or undue influence; praised the Board's initiative to
conduct the audit for transparency and mentioned improvements
already undertaken, such as strengthening grant management
policies and updating conflict of interest policies; broader
role of CalOptima in addressing not just medical care but also
housing, street medicine for the homeless, and combating
substance abuse by distributing Narcan and highlighted
investments in food security through partnerships with
organizations like Second Harvest; acknowledged the ongoing
need for compliance training and improvements in oversight for
public funds, and the Board's commitment to transparency,
accountability, and effective governance in public health
initiatives |
|
Chair Chaffee - Oral Re:
Appreciated Supervisor Nguyen for setting up meeting with U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) noting
face-to-face interactions enhance understanding and
collaboration on various applications; participated in
weddings at the County Clerk-Recorder's office on Valentine's
Day, marking the eighth consecutive year officiating weddings;
Elder Fraud Prevention event will be held on February 26 at
12pm which aims to inform elderly individuals about scams and
how to protect themselves; Kids Fishing Derby to be held on
