PUBLIC COMMENTS & ADJOURNMENT
PUBLIC
COMMENTS:
|
Jim Farell - Oral Re:
Orange County Conservator Assistance Group provides services
to conservators navigating the system; concerns with lawsuits
and litigation making it difficult for law enforcement to
intervene and assist individuals in crisis and 5150 holds for
fear of lawsuits; requested the Board reach out to 25
different law enforcement agencies in Orange County and the
Orange County Behavioral Health Board to develop solutions to
address the issues |
|
Steve Rocco - Oral Re:
Cardboard signs used by homeless and the Santiago Creek
homeless are his neighbors; Orange County is the capital of
the homeless, City of Santa Ana is the second largest Mexican
city in the world and has the second largest concentration of
Vietnamese in the world; witnessing the genocide of Americans
while government gives aid and support to those who are not
Americans |
|
Bryan Kaye - Oral Re:
Abusive people need to be less abusive; Deputy District
Attorney Alex Shaaban used false forged plea agreements; judge
had to stop court hearing to evaluate Mr. Shaaban to determine
if he was in danger of harming himself |
|
Kate - Oral Re: Requests
to move presentations to the end of the meeting; thanks
Supervisor Nguyen for requesting review of procurement
policies and procedures; Supervisor Wagner is too late for
Secretary of State; Board vote for Agenda Item S35E and
discussion with Registrar of Voters and District Attorney was
weak and shameful; return to one-day voting, eliminate the
Voters Choice Act, cast and count votes in precincts and
require voter identification |
|
Nick Kolev - Oral Re:
Civil Engineer and Civil Rights Activist; Grand Jury report on
hate and statutory duties of District Attorney to prosecute
hate crimes; conflict of interest because District Attorney is
Jewish and underserves Muslim minorities; no transparency in
actions of the courts and Child Support Services; County
Counsel favors secrecy, privacy and closing of the government
procedures |
