Here's a quick roundup from today's (12/17/2024) San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors meeting:
Fourth District Highlights:
Item No. 39.2 - Approved an amendment with the Chaffey Communities Cultural Center to support the Cooper's Museum Renovation Project. The Center operates the Cooper Regional History Museum and is committed to preserving local history, including that of the indigenous Gabrieleno Tongva Indian Tribe. The museum provides free admission and educational tours for schools. The Renovation Project will replace the patio flooring, remodel the outdoor kitchen with new appliances, pressure wash the building exterior, and install new security lighting to enhance the facility for visitors.
Item No. 47.1 - Approved a $61,000 budget increase to perform a consultant study for a potential Sports and Entertainment facility at Prado Regional Park.
Item No. 87 - Approved a $14,000 donation from the Friends of Regional Parks of San Bernardino County to support fishing workshops in the Fourth and Fifth Districts.
Item No. 103 - Approved a $1,000,000 contract with the City of Chino to provide funding to purchase a public safety heavy-duty asset.a $1.2 million contract with the City of Montclair to help fund the purchase of a custom aerial ladder truck. The funding also covers essential equipment like hoses, nozzles, communication devices, lights, sirens, and decals.
Countywide Highlights:
Item No. 2 - Adopted a resolution recognizing Karen Bilderain upon her retirement after 38 years of valuable service to San Bernardino County.
Item No. 27 - Amended Resolution No. 2023-216 to extend the deferment of implementing Senate Bill 43, which expands the definition of "gravely disabled." Rooted in the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act, SB 43 was signed into law on October 10, 2023, introducing significant changes to involuntary detention and conservatorship requirements. These changes include broadening the "gravely disabled" criteria to encompass individuals with standalone severe substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health disorders. To meet these requirements, counties must establish new policies, procedures, workforce, and treatment infrastructure. This amendment postpones the implementation date from January 1, 2025, to April 1, 2025, allowing the County additional time to plan and build necessary infrastructure, train staff, and coordinate with impacted agencies to ensure proper implementation of SB 43.
Item No. 51 - Approved an agreement with Wordly Inc. to provide real-time AI translation and closed captioning services during Board meetings, making them more accessible to everyone.
