We all know how hard it's been for our business community over the past two years. While, I've tried to be the common-sense Supervisor finding a balance between saving lives, protecting the most vulnerable, and allowing businesses to open, businesses are still struggling. 
 
We continue to help our businesses in North County, as we recently allocated about $3 million in stimulus funding to help with COVID related expenses, with another $3 million still to be allocated on the latest round. These grants are for small businesses and nonprofits in District 5. I will continue to look at ways we can help our small business community!

My office is here to serve. We have an experienced, responsive District 5 team that’s here to help. You can contact me at Jim.Desmond@sdcounty.ca.gov.

It’s no secret: February, March and April are the best months to play Rams Hill Golf Club. The best weather. The best greens. The best time to kick it by the fire pit after your round, sipping a beverage, playing games and enjoying the surrounding desert terrain as it glows at sunset.
The best time to sink your teeth into those famous Apple-Caramel Cookies after every round of golf.
