Dear Friends, This past week, the Board of Supervisors met for our regularly scheduled board meetings. We covered a number of agenda items, including voting on a long-term lease at Gillespie Field, which passed unanimously. Our team is proud of the work we accomplished this week. I am personally grateful to my board colleagues for working with me on several measures. Through this lease approval, we hope to bring hundreds of jobs to East County! Below are some additional highlights from the week. As always, if there is ever any way my office can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to reach out using the contact form on my website. It's an honor to serve you,

I want to thank my Board colleagues— for their leadership and support. Today's action is an important first step in bringing more good-paying jobs to East County-- a community that has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Supervisors Approve Anderson's Co-Authored Board Letter Enhancing Wildfire Safety Supervisor Anderson, along with his colleague Supervisor Desmond of the 5th district, proposed a board letter that would enhance wildfire safety on county roads. Fire hazards represent a high-level threat to individuals and property located in the unincorporated areas of the County. The board letter, which was approved, will direct the Chief Administrative Officer to identify public roads where twenty feet (previously ten feet) of vegetation clearing should occur to enhance public safety.
