SUP. BURKE: I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN GIVING OUR SYMPATHY AND PRAYERS TO HIS FAMILY, TO DORIS AND HIS FAMILY. WE CERTAINLY HAD A CORDIAL RELATIONSHIP AND WORKED HARD TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS THAT I SERVED HERE WITH HIM. AND HE WAS ALWAYS A PLEASANT PERSON, A PERSON EASY TO GET ALONG WITH AND I CERTAINLY ENJOYED THE TIME THAT I SERVED WITH HIM. SUP. YAROSLAVSKY: MADAM CHAIR, I JUST WANT TO ADD MY COMMENTS. FIRST OF ALL, BARBARA AND I WANT TO ALSO SHARE OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WITH DORIS AND THE FAMILY. DEANE WAS ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN TO ME. WHEN I FIRST GOT HERE, HE WAS VERY KIND AND SOLICITOUS OF MY NEEDS AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT AND APPRECIATE IT. I ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT, IN THE VEIN OF A VOTE, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN, I SHOULD HAVE HAD MY EYES OPEN A LITTLE MORE, BUT WHEN WE FIRST PASSED THE DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP LEGISLATION FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES, THE VOTE WAS 4-TO-1 ON THIS BOARD. DEANE DANA VOTED FOR IT AND I WAS-- JUST ABOUT FELL OFF MY CHAIR, BECAUSE IT WAS THE LAST THING I THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN BUT IT WAS REALLY A SIGN OF HIS DECENCY AS A HUMAN BEING AND IT TOUCHED HIM AND, FOR WHATEVER THE REASON WAS, AND I NEVER REALLY DISCUSSED IT WITH HIM, I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT VOTE. HE WAS ALREADY-- HE HAD ALREADY ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT AND I THINK HE WAS FREE TO DO WHAT HE FELT WAS RIGHT, WHAT HIS CONSCIENCE DICTATED WITHOUT POLITICAL CONSIDERATION. SO-- BUT HE WAS A JUST A NICE GUY AND I KNOW HE WORKED HARD TO REPRESENT HIS DISTRICT AND-- OVER ALL THOSE YEARS AND WE WISH HIS FAMILY WELL. SUP. ANTONOVICH: ALSO MOVE IN MEMORY OF AURORA ARELLANES OF ARTESIA, GREW UP IN NORWALK AND SHE LEAVES SIX CHILDREN AND HER HUSBAND-- OR I SHOULD SAY HE LEAVES HIS WIFE... SUP. YAROSLAVSKY: WHAT-- WHAT...

MOLINA, CHAIR: SO ORDERED ON THOSE ADJOURNMENTS. SUP. ANTONOVICH: ...MOVE THAT, BECAUSE COUNTY IS PROUD TO JOIN THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES ROUNDTABLE IN WASHINGTON, IT'S OFFICIALLY PROCLAIMING THE WEEK OF MAY 2 THROUGH 8TH AS PUBLIC SERVICE RECOGNITION WEEK. THIS WEEK IS DEDICATED TO RECOGNIZING AND HONORING THE EXCELLENT SERVICE COMMITTED-- COMMITMENT OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES AND THE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS THEY MAKE. WE EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO THOSE EMPLOYEES OF L.A. COUNTY AND MOVE THAT WE PROCLAIM-- WE DO THIS TODAY, MAY 2ND THROUGH 8TH AS PUBLIC SERVICE RECOGNITION WEEK THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, ENCOURAGE OUR DEPARTMENT HEADS TO SUPPORT THIS WEEK BY RECOGNIZING THE OUTSTANDING SERVICE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES. SO IF WE COULD DO THAT, RAY, IT'S A PROCLAMATION OF PUBLIC SERVICE WEEK, SO I'D MAKE THAT MOTION. MAKE THAT MOTION-- PUBLIC EMPLOYEE WEEK. SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: I'M SORRY? SUP. ANTONOVICH: RECOGNIZING PUBLIC EMPLOYEE WEEK AS THIS WEEK SO THAT'S THE MOTION. SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: VERY GOOD. SO ORDERED. SUP. ANTONOVICH: THEN, FOR NEXT WEEK, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT NEEDS ADEQUATE RESOURCES TO MEET THE RECRUITMENT ANDS TRAINING DEMANDS NECESSARY TO FILL ALL OF THE EXISTING AND ANTICIPATED VACANCIES RESULTING FROM ATTRITION AS WELL AS THE ADDITIONAL POSITIONS BUDGETED FOR THE '05/'06 YEAR. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE BOARD UNDERFUNDED THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT REQUESTS FOR RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING IN DECEMBER BY NEARLY $2 MILLION. ADDITIONALLY, THE BOARD NEEDS TO CONSIDER A MULTI-YEAR RESTORATION PLAN FOR UNINCORPORATED PATROLS AND DETECTIVES SIMILAR TO WHAT THE BOARD HAS DONE WITH REOPENING OUR JAIL BEDS. UNLIKE WHAT OCCURRED IN OUR JAILS, THE RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE UNINCORPORATED PATROLS AND DETECTIVES WOULD AVOID A SIMILAR CRISIS. I WOULD THEREFORE MOVE THAT THE BOARD DIRECT THE C.A.O. TO WORK IN COORDINATION WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE A REPORT TO THE BOARD AT BUDGET DELIBERATIONS REGARDING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES NECESSARY FOR EXPEDITING THE RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING PROCESS, ALL CREATIVE METHODS SHOULD BE DEPLOYED IN CONCLUDING CONSIDERATION OF A PILOT PROGRAM WHICH WOULD UTILIZE THE SERVICES OF 120-DAY SHERIFF RETIREES AND PROVIDE SIGN-ON BONUSES TO EMPLOYEES WHO SIGN ON RECRUITS WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE ACADEMY. THIS IS DONE BY OTHER LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THE AREA. AND A MULTI-YEAR RESTORATION PLAN FOR UNINCORPORATED PATROLS AND DETECTIVES SIMILAR TO WHAT THE BOARD HAS DONE WITH REOPENING OF JAIL BEDS. THE REPORT SHOULD CONSIDER, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, RESPONSE TIMES AND POPULATION GROWTH. THAT'S FOR NEXT WEEK. SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: IT'S FOR NEXT WEEK? SUP. ANTONOVICH: YES. WE CAN DO IT TODAY, IF WE WANTED. JUST A REPORT AT BUDGET. C.A.O. JANSSEN: MADAM CHAIR, I THINK IT'S-- IT HAS TO BE TWO WEEKS, FIRST OF ALL, THE 10TH AND I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO CONSIDER IT WHEN YOU CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT YOU'RE GOING TO ACCEPT THE BUDGET. IT IS A BUDGET DIRECTION THAT IS IN, FRANKLY, MANY WAYS CONTRARY TO THE DIRECTION IN THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THERE CLEARLY IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO DO BOTH OF THESE AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH IDLE EXERCISES, FRANKLY, SO LET'S PUT THIS OVER UNTIL THE 10TH AND DISCUSS IT AS PART OF THE BUDGET. SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: ALL RIGHT. WELL, THAT WILL BE PUT OVER. IS THAT IT, MR. ANTONOVICH? SUP. ANTONOVICH: AND I HAVE-- KNABE HAS A MOTION THAT WOULD DECLARE THE COMMEMORATION OF THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF V.E. DAY ON MAY 7TH, WHICH WILL MARK THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY AND THAT WAS THE WAR FROM 1939 TO '45. SO THAT'S KNABE'S MOTION FOR NEXT WEEK OR TWO WEEKS. THAT'S ALL. SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: ALL RIGHT.

ERNIE SMITH: MY NAME IS ERNIE SMITH, I'M HERE AGAIN TO SPEAK ON THE ISSUE OF THE CONTRACT M.S.O.A. WITH DREW THE FOLLOWING FACTS ARE BEING PRESENTED: YOUR BOARD HAS PASSED SEVERAL RESOLUTIONS DIRECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES TO GIVE AN ANALYSIS OF THE VIABILITY OF CHARLES DREW UNIVERSITY TO MAINTAIN ITS M.S.O.A. CONTRACT. AND THE COMMUNITY HIGHLY ENDORSED THIS ACTION. FACT: WHERE THE IMPENDING WITH NON-RENEWAL OF THE M.S.O.A., EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF DREW HAS BEEN TAPPING THE TILL BY GIVING ITSELF 25 AND 30% RAISES. THIS IS PUBLIC MONEY THAT YOU'RE GIVING THEM AND THEY'RE GIVING RAISES TO THEMSELVES. LOOK INTO THAT. THIS IS DONE WITH APPROVAL OF THE DREW BOARD. THIS IS NOT CONDONED BY THE BLACK COMMUNITY HEALTH TASK FORCE. CURRENTLY, CHARLES DREW UNIVERSITY'S INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITATION IS WITH THE AMERICAN COUNCIL ON GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, IS UNFAVORABLE AND, DESPITE THIS FACT, GARTHWAITE RECOMMENDED, ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT MEDICAL OPERATING AGREEMENT, THE D.H.S. WAS SUPPOSED TO ASSUME SPONSORSHIP OF ALL BUT FOUR OF THE RESIDENCY TRAINING PROGRAMS. HAS THIS OCCURRED? FACT: DREW UNIVERSITY'S BOARD AND DR. GARTHWAITE HAS CONSISTENTLY LIED AND MISLED YOUR BOARD. THE DREW FACULTY CONTINUES TO BE HIGHLY PROFICIENT, DESPITE THE LACK OF SUPPORT OF THE BOARD AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. THE BLACK COMMUNITY HEALTH TASK FORCE HAS ALREADY DEMANDED THAT DR. GARTHWAITE AND GARY BOOK- COOKING WELLS BE FINED-- FIRED. WE STAND BY THAT RECOMMENDATION OR THAT DEMAND. FACT: FOR HIS PART IN THE SODOMY THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO KING HOSPITAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL COMMUNITY, WE NOW ADD TO THE LIST FRED FIG LEAF TO THAT LIST. AND, LASTLY, UNTIL THE BLACK BART AND HIS GANG ARE REMOVED, THE ENTIRE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS VETTED BY THE BLACK COMMUNITY HEALTH TASK FORCE, WE DEMAND THE TERMINATION OF THE M.S.O.A. AND THAT NO FURTHER BUSINESS BE DONE WITH THIS UNIVERSITY. THANK YOU. SUP. MOLINA, CHAIR: THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THERE IS NO OTHER ITEM TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD. WE STAND ADJOURNED. AND THERE IS NO CLOSED SESSION. CLERK ROBIN GUERRERO: MADAM CHAIR, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ITEM CS-1, CS-2, AND CS-3 WILL BE CONTINUED TO THE MEETING OF MAY 10TH.
