In an untimed discussion, the board will finally take up a discussion that has been put off for months — consideration of the next steps to fill the District 4 supervisorial seat. Supervisor Tina Scott announced in April that she was stepping down as of July 31.
The board will decide on a resolution setting an election for District 4 supervisor as part of the Nov. 8, 2022, Statewide General Election.
Also on Tuesday, at 9:10 a.m. the board will receive a presentation on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment, or CARE, Court.
Newsom’s office said CARE Court would provide Californians suffering with untreated schizophrenia spectrum or other psychotic disorders with community-based treatment, services and housing.
In another untimed item, the board will consider a response to the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ invitation to provide comment on the Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians non-gaming land acquisition application.
The tribe wants to place into trust 14 parcels totaling 845 acres near its casino near Nice.
County documents outline officials’ concerns about the “potential unintended consequences” on the Middle Creek Flood Damage and Ecosystem Restoration Project, as the parcels are within the project boundaries and the United States Army Corps of Engineers has indicated there is some uncertainty as to how this restoration project will move forward when parcels are taken into trust.
The full agenda follows.
