reached its maximum capacity. DBH requests Board approval to purchase a new APC
Symmetra UPS in the amount of $68,000 (department budget utilizing MHSA funds). This

CLERK- 3.08* Opposition to AB 2299 (Feuer) Public Safety Officials; Confidentiality -The sole reason
RECORDER that Recorder's offices exists is to archive public records, which provide constructive
notice. This process is the foundation of land ownership and the integrity of this system is
essential. County Recorders throughout the State uphold the public's right to access and
view land records. AB 2299 (Feuer) would disassemble constructive notice, the
cornerstone to property rights in California. This legislation would also establish a class of
individuals who could hide their interests in real property. By hiding their information,
individuals will be able to conduct business outside of the public's view resulting in
different classes of property owners and the demise of California's constructive notice
property rights system -action requested -APPROVE LETTER OF OPPOSITION TO AB 2299

Aeenda Format and The agenda is usually organized into the following areas and meetings generally proceed in the following
Meetine Order: order:
1. Consent Aeenda: these are items that are considered routine and are handled by one motion and vote of
the Board. If you wish to discuss any item on the Consent Agenda you can either fill out a speaker card
(located in the back of the board room) and give it to the Clerk of the Board (sitting to the right of the
Board) or, when the Chair asks if there is anything anyone would like to remove from the Consent
Agenda, stand and approach the podium and request the item be removed. The removed items are
discussed at the end of the Regular Agenda.
2. Reeular Aeenda: this is where presentations to the Board and items that require full discussion are
heard. Items removed from the Consent Agenda are discussed under this section.
3. Public Hearine and Timed Items: this is where items that are required by law to be heard as a public
hearing are set. This is the section where appeals before the Board are usually discussed. Hearings may
start after the time listed, but will never start before the time listed.
4. Public Comment: this is the area of the agenda where members of the audience may address the Board
on any matter not listed on the agenda. The Board, by law, cannot take action on any matter not listed
on the agenda, but may respond to statements or questions and provide staff direction.
5. Closed Session: the Board is authorized, by law, to meet in a closed session in certain circumstances.
This area of the agenda identifies those items that will be discussed during the closed session.
