Hi friends! As you know I took a week off from my update as I was out of town attending the California Association of Counties meeting in Monterey. As I work to wrap up my first year as a Supervisor I think about the work I'm doing and what it looks like next year. On a daily basis it can feel like we aren't getting much done but when I go back and review our accomplishments I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve my community. The CSAC Conference was a great opportunity to network and brainstorm strategies that can help Mendocino County.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving !!!
I got to spend time with my family in Potter Valley. I'm always thankful that my family lives within 20 miles of me. Connecting with your family is very important to our emotional and behavioral mental health. I fortunately get to see my family on a monthly or weekly basis and that is a blessing that I don't take lightly.
Please do not forget that November 26th is Native American Heritage Day.
From The American Presidency Project, Proclamation 10302—National Native American Heritage Month, 2021
“The United States of America was founded on an idea: that all of us are created equal and deserve equal treatment, equal dignity, and equal opportunity throughout our lives. Throughout our history—though we have always strived to live up to that idea and have never walked away from it—the fact remains that we have fallen short many times. Far too often in our founding era and in the centuries since, the promise of our Nation has been denied to Native Americans who have lived on this land since time immemorial. “Despite a painful history marked by unjust Federal policies of assimilation and termination, American Indian and Alaska Native peoples have persevered. During National Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate the countless contributions of Native peoples past and present, honor the influence they have had on the advancement of our Nation, and recommit ourselves to upholding trust and treaty responsibilities, strengthening Tribal sovereignty, and advancing Tribal self-determination…
“I urge all Americans, as well as their elected representatives at the Federal, State, and local levels, to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities, and to celebrate November 26, 2021, as Native American Heritage Day.”
Over the weekend my daughter and I did some basic holiday stuff we went to get a Christmas Tree from the Redwood Valley/Calpella Fire Department and visited the new Axe throwing business in Downtown Ukiah. I've posted some photos on my Mo4Mendo Facebook page just for fun.
My first day at the CSAC meeting was spent attending the Women's Leadership Business Meeting and Forum Workshop.
I thought it would be helpful to know which meetings I attended during the week that I was in Monterey for the CSAC Cconference. On Tuesday I attended the CSAC Policy Committee on Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources before I needed to leave to join the BOS Special Closed Session. In the afternoon I attended the Opening Session; Jackie Freiberg delivered a key note address on inspiring a culture of innovation and change. She is a Certified Dare to Lead Facilitator. I am going to continue to push Mendocino County to get out of comfort zone to try new things. I know this is challenging when people have done things one way for decades. We can't fear making changes that can benefit our team and our community. I also attended the CSAC Health and Human Services Policy Committee to hear an update about how Federal and State dollars are being used. After the policy meetings and workshops there was an Exhibit Hall open. I went to look at some vendors that the County could possibly partner with.
On Wednesday morning we had a New Supervisors Reunion breakfast. Earlier in the year we had meetings via Zoom so it was great to see everyone in person, the networking that we are able to do at conferences is really invaluable. I checked with Supervisors Haschak and Williams to see which meetings they were going to so we could divide and conquer if you will, and I ended up attending the Workshop on Navigating Opportunities for Counties to Support Children and Families. They spoke a lot about the struggle of kids in Foster Care and how we can work to improve parental and familial relationships. The CSAC County Round Table was very valuable. Each County got up and announced their most challenging topic and then you were invited to move to that table to discuss the issue. I went to the Humboldt County table as they are having some interesting things happening with their Auditor. There were several Auditors and CPAs that joined the table as well as other neighboring counties. Its always valuable to hear what other counties have going on. There was a great workshop in the afternoon called "Drama in the Board Room- Tips and Techniques to Foster better Communication and Encourage Civility in the Board Room" this was a fun role playing and brainstorming session. After that I went to the Rural Caucus meeting.
I got up bright and early on Thursday morning to start a 3 mile "Fun Run" on the Coastal trail in Monterey. Assistant CEO Angle and Supervisor Haschak also made the run. It was so beautiful I wanted to stop and take a picture every 50 feet, I had a great time. After the run there was a CSAC Awards breakfast and it was great to hear about the work that electeds and their teams are doing across the State. After breakfast I went to the Administration of Justice Policy Committee to discuss a successful shifting intimate partner violence programming as well as the struggles with Felony Incompetent to Stand Trial across the State. After that meeting I attended the luncheon and the Election of the new CSAC Officers, look forward to sharing the photo of the Supervisors soon. I did attend the CSAC Board of Directors Meeting before the installation of the CSAC Officers.
On Friday morning I got up so I could try and head home to beat traffic. Over the weekend we had the Ukiah Parade of Lights which I have been helping organize for the last five years. I needed to make sure I was back on time to hang no parking signs for the parade route.
In case you missed it we had an awesome Ukiah Parade of Lights this year. The businesses, non-profits and families are all stars for entering and making it a great show for the community. I will attach a video I have from the Ukiah Valley Networking Agency Facebook that my youngest daughter took, I hope you enjoy and if you are reading this I really need help with volunteers next year!! https://fb.watch/9LIpUfP1pT/
Sunday I got to walk with my daughter and grand-daughter to go and remove the no parking signs. I love that my whole family gets involved in volunteer work.
We had a regularly scheduled meeting with LAFCO - Ukiah Valley Fire District Annexation complete and the Board of Equalization has provided confirmation that they are completing the project. In the afternoon I had a debrief of the Ukiah Parade of Lights and tree lighting ceremony at Alex Thomas Plaza and how to improve for next year. We got a little bit of rain but I did interviews for the Adventist Health Blue Zones project. I will share that video when it comes out.
