What's the Sheriff's Department using the Whooster tool for? I can read it's needed for social media investigative
purposes. What does that mean specifically? If to bust child traffickers or pedophiles 1000% for it. But if for
contact tracing as part of infectious disease management PLEASE DISCLOSE TO THE PUBLIC.
From the Website of Whooster:

with an Infected Subject to assist in breaking the chain of transmission.

Three and a half years after the Camp Fire and five years after the Spillway crisis, we are pleased to see the
magic word appearing in phase 2 of the site survey. Whether or not residents' fears are commensurate with the
actual risk of another mass evacuation, early warning sirens would do much to ease those fears and encourage
repopulation of areas where thousands left and never returned. It would be a wise use of County matching funds
to perform this study and determine how sirens might fit into a broader plan to keep County residents safe.

I had a lab who was part of Pet Partners in the Bay Area. Mojo and I went to the Palo Alto VA Hospice once a
month. That dog was special! The sicker the patient the closer Mojo would want to be. He gave so much comfort
to the the family and brought joy to staff. The best part was when the vets would share stories of their special
dogs. The most difficult part was returning the next month and finding the vet had passed on. But a therapy dog
is an amazing asset and I recommend anyone who has this special type of animal consider signing up with Pet
Partners!

While not having digested all 250,000 words of this document, I am not seeing any language about seeking input
from unincorporated communities in managing emergencies that directly affect them. No one knows like local
residents how floodwaters behave in a given locality, which mitigations should be prioritized before waters rise,
and which residents should be advised to evacuate before roads become impassable. Locals are the ones who
know which back roads a fire apparatus can traverse to head off a new start before it's too late. Yet policy fails to
recommend consultation with unincorporated community leaders to better inform decisions. We know we will
never be accorded self-determination and may never even receive a seat at the table where decisions are made,
but while County Center continues to make life-or-death decisions for us, we request the opportunity to advise
the County on aspects specific to our local communities before those decisions are made.
We can also help disseminate information locally, whether through our own online channels or door-to-door. If
Centerville Road or Oro-Quincy washes out again, we are the ones who can inform our neighbors and even post
the detour. In the Camp Fire evacuation, there was no indication whether Centerville or Doe Mill Roads were
open, no indication that there was a tanker with gas for anyone who made it over Skyway to Butte Meadows. In
future emergencies, County policy should instruct County personnel to involve County residents in minimizing
the impact to their own communities. This document, for all its verbiage, seems to leave that piece out.

Hello Board of Supervisors!
Would you consider moving Public Comment to a timed item on the agenda, and place it at the beginning of the
meeting? This would accommodate the public and make it much easier for those who want to share something
pertaining to the county before the board. Without a timed item, people have a difficult time planning when to be
at the meeting and when they can expect to speak. Additionally, if you placed it at the beginning, you would be
doing what twelve surrounding counties already do. These include Sutter, Shasta, Plumas, Placer, Colusa,
Sierra, Glenn, Nevada, Sacramento, Yolo, Lake, and Mendocino. It would be amazing for Butte County to join
these counties in the way their meetings are structured so that board members’ constituents can approach them
at a consistent time during each meeting. Some boards allocate a certain amount of time for public comment,
and if all comments cannot be heard in that time frame, the remaining comments are taken up at the end of the
regular meeting. I believe this could be an effective way for the board to balance a demonstration of commitment
to the people and making space for their voices to be heard AND an understanding of how valuable staff time is
and that there are agenda items the board expects to reach at a certain time. Your constituents appreciate your
hard work as well as the diligent work of county staff and look forward to a bright future of a timed public comment
agenda item! Thank you!

S.O.S. BUTTE COUNTY RESIDENTS
YOU MUST RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF!
Where is the Covid-19 Update on the Board of Supervisors’ agenda?
You must end the health emergencies and any and ALL mandates and not implement ANY mandates in the
future. The Public is able to make their own health decisions without interference of local government. You have
NO legal rights and will be practicing medicine without a license. There is NO emergency in Butte County and
NEVER has been an emergency regarding Covid-19. Butte County Public Health is required by law to prove we
are in an actual emergency and it’s the Board of Supervisors’ job to make sure that legal obligation is fulfilled. NO
Butte County Health Officer has ever attended and provided evidence, as required by law, to support a local
health emergency that I’m aware of. Ms. Danette York (and others) need to be held liable for preventing evidence
that is not showing the whole picture on Covid-19. This is not informed consent, this is coercion.
Please educate yourselves on Stockholm Syndrome in which hostages develop a psychological bond with their
captors during captivity, psychological warfare techniques (being inflicted on our young people and others), (How
America Fell Victim to Mass Delusional Psychosis by Mark McDonald), Zimbardo’s Famous Study on Stanford
Prison Experiment (guards were placed in a position of power, they began to behave in ways they would not
usually act in their everyday lives or other situations. Do good people do bad or evil things?) and the Milgrim
Experiment (obedience to authority figures which was a series of psychology experiments conducted by Yale
University psychologist Stanley Milgrim) to name a few. Then you and our law enforcement agencies should be
familiarized with Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning. He shows how “men were transformed psychologically
from ordinary men into active participants in the most monstrous crime in human history.”
Our Public Health Officials and local politicians know these “vaccines” are hurting healthy adults and children and
have not notified Butte County residents. A huge backlash is coming as the true number of deaths and injuries
caused by the experimental “vaccines” is made known. “Watch out! You have never faced the rage of thousands
of mothers.” Naomi Wolf
Karen Kingston offers “Gene therapy products are all products that mediate their effects by transcription and/or
translation of transferred genetic material and/or by integrating into the host genome and that are administered
as nuclei acids, viruses, or genetically engineered microorganisms. The products may be used to modify cells in
vivid or transferred to cells ex vivo before administration to the recipient. See section III of FDA’s guidance
entitled “Guidance for Industry: Gene Therapy Clinical Trials - Observing Subjects for Delayed Adverse Events”

Still Butte County agencies and officials aren’t officially warning the Butte County residents about these risks
despite having been privy to this information for approximately two years or more. Butte County officials have
access to the same safety data we have and this might be considered misconduct in public office. Government is
setup to protect the people - not harm them. So, when harm is committed they are no longer acting in their official
capacity they are acting in their personal capacity which could bring personal liability they hadn’t anticipated. It ’s
irresponsible not to take action. We need to protect the children.
A “vaccine” with reports of wayyyy over a million adverse events and deaths is NOT safe, effective, or free as
promoted by Butte County Board of Supervisors and Butte County Public Health as anyone can clearly see.
The center for Disease Control and Prevention released new data showing a total of 1,237,647 reports of adverse
events following COVID-19 vaccines between December 14, 2020 and April 15, 2022 up 54,152 compared with
April 8, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VARES). VARES is the primary governmentfunded
system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.
It is a voluntary reporting system for reporting adverse reactions to the U.S. and has been estimated to account
for only 1% of vaccine injuries. As of April 15, 16% occured within 24 hours of vaccination, 21% of deaths
reported to VARES after COVID shots occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, and 59% occurred in people who
experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
Every Friday, VARES publishes vaccine injury reports received as of a specified date. Reports submitted to
VARES require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
The data included a total of 27,349 reports of deaths - up 1,708 compared with April 8, 2022. And 222,836
reports of serious injuries - up 14,627 compared with April 8, 2022 with tragic stories that never end.
NOTE: *Children have a 99.97% chance of recovering from COVID; however, if they DON’T get the shot they
have a 100% chance of NOT being vaccine injured! “A scientific study conducted by scientists from the U.S. Food
and Drug administration and the Centers for Disease Control found Covid-19 Vaccination increased Children’s
risk of suffering Myocarditis by over 13,000%.” Attorney Todd Callender, “Based on what we are seeing, the rates
right now are excess mortality of 84% and excess of every kind of disease at 1100%. We are expecting a 5,000%
or so increase in excess mortality for this year 2022. An enormous number.”
Dr. Cole says, “It is an absolute crime to inject this liquid into the arm of a child. There is no way we use our
children as human shields and guinea pigs when kids survive this virus statistically at 100%…a shot that is now
ALL risk with NO benefit.”
U.S. VARES data for 5- to 11- year olds show:
10,290 adverse events
248 rated as serious
5 reports of death
19 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis (heart inflammation)
40 reports of blood clotting disorders
U.S. VARES data for 12- to 17- year olds show:
31,113 adverse events
1,796 rated as serious
43 reported deaths
65 reports of anaphylaxis (life threatening)
651 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis
166 reports of blood clotting disorders
As of April 15, 5,429 pregnant women reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 1,701
reports of miscarriage or premature birth.
Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.12 eComments Report
We know Covid-19 vaccines do NOT prevent infection or viral transmission and natural immunity is robust and far superior. In addition to VARES website we have the Yellow Card, Eudra System (42,507 dead and 3,984,978 injuries through March 26, 2022) whistleblowers, DMED data, insurance documentation (data shows 40% increase in death of people under 64 and calls this the worse coverup in human history & other injuries), U.S. Senate expert witness testimony states there are 410,000 unexplained deaths in Americans, and many others.
Coronavirus vaccines would have been withdrawn from the market due to the UNACCEPTABLY high mortality rate. Usually a vaccine is withdrawn from the market after 50 deaths or less. VARES is supposed to act as an EARLY WARNING SYSTEM and no one is being given legal INFORMED CONSENT which is a violation of our laws, the Nuremberg Code, as well as many others including but not limited to 21 U.S. Code 360bbb-3. Voluntary consent is essential! Almost 1,300 side effects including death have been reported by Pfizer data and no one in their right mind would knowingly take this kind of chance with their health. Del Bigtree
says, “Probably 250,000 people have been murdered by the Covid-19 shot.”
At the same time, Butte County Board of Supervisors (and others) appear to be breaking many state and federal laws by by continuing to fake a medical emergency for funding.
18 U.S. Code 1040 - Fraud in connection with major disaster or emergency for benefits to get funding. This is a crime and you could be charged with 30 years in prison.
18 U.S Code 1038 - False information and hoaxes. The hoax in this case there is NO emergency. The penalty could be life in prison.
CA Health and Safety Code 101080 - Requires you by law to terminate the emergency at the earliest date.
Penal Code 148.3 - False reporting an emergency. There is NO emergency.
Title 18 U.S.C. Section 242 - It’s a crime to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege under the Constitution by local officials. You could be imprisoned up to life.
Government Code 8630 - Requires termination of the emergency at the earliest date.
42 U.S. Code 1986 - Action for neglect to prevent…
Title U.S.C. Code Section 241 - Conspiracy against rights…
Government Code Section 8630 - Calling for an emergency when there really isn’t one.
HSC Div., 105, Part 1, Chapter 3, Section 120175.5 - Not providing relevant information regarding communicable diseases.
Emergency Services Act 8558b - Calling for an emergency when there are NO legal grounds.
Disaster Fraud
We the People DO NOT approve of unlawful actions by the Butte County Board of Supervisors (or others).
Money is NOT a reason to put Butte County residents and their children in harms way.
The pandemic was a hoax created by a fake PCR test (which can not diagnose), fake news and unscientific science. NONE of the tests are approved or validated they are all under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). This level of malfeasance (wrongdoing or misconduct especially by public officials) has never happened in our history. “Australia is admitting COVID shots are harming people and they are offering up to $600,000 in compensation.”
The scientific facts are clear: Masks, lockdowns, social distancing and vaccines have all proven failures and must
Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 4.12 eComments Report
stop! The harm especially perpetrated on our youth is unconscionable. These catastrophic mistakes will not beable to be covered up. Butte County Board of Supervisors had the opportunity to decide not to lockdown ourcounty and tell ALL businesses they are essential. You should have backed your local businesses not harmed
them with silly mandates. Uphold the constitution - it’s the law of the land! You answer to We the People, and wedemand more out of our public servants.
Masks cause carbon dioxide poisoning, significant and possibly permanent damage to a child’s brain, drop in I.Q.points reported in newborns, lowers I.Q in other age groups, retards speech and language development, cripplessocial skills, and has lead to depression, self harm, and substance abuse, increase in suicides and crime duelargely to the lockdowns, masking, and social distancing. In addition, masks violate CA Education Code 49005.1and CA Education Code Sec (4) 49005.8 (a) and is child abuse. “Watch out! You have never faced the rage ofthousands of mothers!” Naomi Wolf
Medical literature and modern-day heroes are exposing all the fraud, lies, and will hold those who participatedaccountable.
You appear to be aiding, abetting, and violating your oath of office you have sworn to uphold. I implore this boardto do the right thing and STOP promoting unethical human experimentation and stop the “vaccines” in ButteCounty.
Board of Supervisors have the authority to rescind all health orders, mandates, and “‘vaccines” in Butte County.The office of the Board of Supervisors serves to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitutions of the UnitedStates and California. Board of Supervisors have a duty to faithfully execute our laws not to repeatedly engage inconduct that violates the Constitutional rights of the citizens of Butte County. When there is fraud immunitydisappears. It is null and void and there is no statue of limitations on fraud.
What is the official safe limit in terms of deaths and injuries reported to be the actual numbers that is deemed
acceptable, above and beyond which the program must be stopped given that the Covid-19 “vaccines” are statedto be “SAFE*EFFECTIVE*FREE” by Butte County Public Health and Board of Supervisors? Tell us what is theofficial safe limit in terms of deaths and injuries reported?
The fallout of the pandemic is going to be catastrophic - especially on the children! The “vaccines” are deadly andcause severe injuries at an alarming rate and therefore must be stopped in Butte County.
If Butte County residents are not getting educated how do they make an informed decision?

I'd like to request you move public comment to the beginning of the meeting as a timed
agenda item. It is unreasonable to expect your constituents to sit through the entirety of every
meeting so they don't miss the comment time. Many people simply are unable to miss that
much work or take additional time out of their daily activities. Continuing that policy gives
the impression you are attempting to suppress the public's ability to make their voices heard.
Thank you for your consideration.

Greetings Board of Supervisors,
I am writing to formally request that you move Public Comment up to the beginning of the agenda and make it a
timed event. I made a similar request of our Chico City Council years ago for their meetings and my request was
granted. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to gain literally hours back in our day, not to mention making it easier
for management of the agenda for our Mayor. We aren’t as burnt out and our families appreciate seeing us more.
Plus you are forcing people to sit through agenda items that don’t concern them to make it to the public comment
section.
Many of your constituents have lost money in order to attend the Board meetings and rather than limiting it to just
the amount of time it takes to drive there, speak, and return, your current method means they can lose almost a full
day of pay or have to pay a sitter to watch their children or beg a friend to be willing to stay if they got a ride there.
Please consider if you grant this request the positive impact that you will have for many individuals who would like
to participate, but who cannot because you have made it too financially or physically challenging for that to happen.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Nichole Nava

Board of Supervisors Meeting - Item 5.01 eComments Report
Donald Krysakowski
Submitted At: 2:56pm 04-25-22
To the Butte County Board of Supervisors:
Since 2011, the Chico Noon Exchange Club has put on the “Chico Brewfest” event as our major fundraising
activity to support charitable programs in Butte County that are committed to the prevention of child abuse. Our
Exchange Club is part of a national service organization founded on the idea that our members can come
together to exchange ideas on how to better our local communities through programs of service that benefit our
youth, promote pride in our country, and honor our military and public safety providers.
Our most recent Brewfest event, held in April 2019 prior to the COVID-19 restrictions, raised nearly $65,000 to
benefit charitable programs including the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program, Youth-4-Change,
Wings of Eagles, Azad’s Thanksgiving Bucket Brigade, the North Valley Boys and Girls Club, Chico First Kids,
Girl’s on the Run, and many others.
Traditionally, our Chico Brewfest has been held at the Elks Club, Manzanita Place, in Chico; but coming out of
COVID we did not know whether indoor gatherings would continue to be restricted so we opted to hold an
outdoor event, in this case in Butte County. While we have extensive experience running this event in the city, it
has been a major learning curve to understand and conform to the complexities of putting on an event of this type
in the County. It is my firm belief that we have met every requirement needed to comply with putting on this
outdoor event.
Therefore, I respectfully request that the Board of Supervisors authorize your approval for this event to move
forward so that we, the Chico Noon Exchange Club, can start to rebuild, reaffirm, and reestablish this fundraising
activity that supports these much-needed programs in Butte County.
Thank you for your consideration,
Don Krysakowski, President
Chico Noon Exchange Club
