Vogel/Ruhstaller/5 B PUBLIC COMMENT ToCan Nguyen addressed the Board on various matters. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS Supervisor Vogel stated that in the last couple of weeks he went to five different town hall meetings, including one meeting with Supervisor Ruhstaller. He commented that the financial condition of the county is very much appreciated by the local residents. Supervisor Villapudua stated that it is important to share budget information with the Community Based Organizations. He added that it is also important to look at overtime and that we do not lose any employees. In talking earlier about cell phones, Supervisor Villapudua was trying to obtain a balance of those departments using cell phones and overtime. He further stated that the Community Based Organizations need to cut back and watch their spending. On the issue of cell phones, Chairman Ornellas recalled that someone from Community Development addressed the Board at a previous Board meeting expressing his concern regarding cell phones. Chairman Ornellas requested a report from the gentleman but he never received any report. For example, an inspector who has to make multiple trips back and forth to catch a property owner to make an inspection could be wasting fuel and time. He emphasized that the Board is certainly willing to listen.

6 Page 6 Minutes February 24, 2009 Board of Supervisors Questions and Comments (continued) Chairman Ornellas pointed out an article in the Record that referred to the City of Stockton considering closing the Civic Auditorium in October. This led him to believe that the County may start to see more activity at the San Joaquin County Agricultural Center. Chairman Ornellas asked if the Board could expect to see some type of rental schedule. County Administrator Manuel Lopez informed the Board that Scott Hudson, Agricultural Commissioner, is working on guidelines and a fee schedule that should be coming to the Board for approval in several weeks. Supervisor Bestolarides commented that the guidelines should include costs for replacement, repairs and maintenance. Supervisor Villapudua said that he sits on the Stockton Parks and Recreation Commission. They are going to establish a list of halls in our county in order to keep the monies here. Supervisor Vogel added that it would be important in reviewing the usage of the Ag Center. Since it is an Agricultural Center, we want to make sure that we are not booking events to the detriment of agricultural activities. Supervisor Ruhstaller stated that there should be a two-tier charge, i.e., if it is an agricultural related event, a discount is given.
