 Board of Supervisors

Presentation to Garden Grove High School Football Team

At a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, I presented a resolution to congratulate the Garden Grove High School Football team for their CIF-Southern Section Southern Division championship in December 2010. This was the first time in the school's history that the Garden Grove High School Football Team won the CIF championship.

This was the first CIF championship in team history as the Argonauts defeated Beckman High School 31 to 30 in one of the most exciting Garden Grove football games ever. Down by seven points with just over three minutes to go, the Argonauts finessed their way to an 88-yard scoring drive, complete with a two-point conversion, to pull ahead and eventually win the game

The Argonauts led by Head Coach Willy Puga and Team Captains Jesse Lozano, Dante Russomano, Josh Webb and Avery Williams, won the Garden Grove League Championship, posted a 9 - 1 regular season record and won all four CIF tournament games to become the CIF-Southern Section Southern Division Champions.

Congratulations to the 2010 Garden Grove High School Football Team for your stellar championship performance, outstanding record and dedicated teamwork throughout the season.

ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (OCTA)

New Lanes Being Added to 405 Freeway

The 405 freeway is one of the most congested freeways in Orange County and traffic volumes are expected to increase substantially by 2030. Measure M2 (M2) includes a project to add new lanes to the I-405 from the vicinity of the Santa Ana Freeway (Interstate 5) to the Costa Mesa Freeway (State Route 55) in Irvine.

The proposed project will increase mainline capacity and reduce congestion and will be designed for traffic volumes 20 years after construction. The OCTA Board of Directors recently approved consultant services to prepare a project study report/project development support document (PSR/PDS) which analyzes alternatives and determines project feasibility and preliminary costs.

SR-57 Northbound Widening Project

Construction on the Northbound SR-57 is moving full speed ahead. Crews have worked on pavement grinding, lane restriping and clearing trees and shrubs to get ready for on-site construction activities.

Construction on the Orangethorpe to Lambert Segment will last through 2014, while the Katella to Lincoln Segment will begin later this summer and last through 2014 as well. Once completed, the improvements will improve mobility on the Northbound 57, while stimulating the local economy by bringing thousands of jobs to Orange County during construction.

If you would like information on these projects, visit www.octa.net/sr57 to view regularly posted updates.

OCTA Commemorates Sunset of Measure M1

Measure M1, Orange County's half-cent sales tax for transportation, reached its sunset date on March 31, 2011, after delivering more than $4 billion of improvements to highways, streets, roads and transit throughout the county.

The Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors recently commemorated this milestone with proclamations of appreciation and special recognition to those who contributed to the highly successful 20-year transportation program.

OCTA Seeks Applicants for Measure M Taxpayers Oversight Committee

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is seeking qualified volunteers to serve on the Measure M Taxpayers Oversight Committee (TOC). The independent committee was formed after the passage of Measure M in 1990, with a half cent sales tax to fund transportation improvements in Orange County. The eleven member committee monitors OCTA's use of Measure M funds and ensures that all revenue collected from Measure M is spent on voter-approved transportation projects.

Committee members are also responsible for approving changes to the Measure M Traffic Improvement and Growth Management Plan, which determines how the funds are allocated, holding annual public hearings regarding the status of Measure M funds and requesting independent audits of any issues involving Measure M projects.

Applications for the 2011 - 2014 term will be accepted through May 2, 2011 to fill two seats; one each in the Second and Third Supervisorial Districts. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age and willing to participate for a three-year term. Potential committee members should also demonstrate a history of participating in community activities, ideally with special emphasis on transportation-related activities. The committee meets the second Tuesday of every other month at 6 p.m. in OCTA's administration building, 600 S. Main St. in Orange.

The Grand Jurors Association of Orange County is conducting the recruitment program and will screen all applications and recommend qualified candidates for membership. For additional information and to request an application, contact the selection panel at (714) 970-9329 or visit OCTA's Web site at www.octa.net/toc.

CALOPTIMA

Open Enrollment Option to Begin in January of 2012

At its recent meeting, the CalOptima Board voted to eliminate the open enrollment lock-in policy beginning in January of 2012. This change in policy eliminates the 12 month lock-in period where members are prohibited from changing their primary care physician.

Originally, the open enrollment lock-in policy was established to ensure that members stayed with their primary care physicians long enough to establish a relationship and stabilize their movement among CalOptima's health networks. Currently, members are given a three month "grace period" where they can switch primary care physicians, followed by a 12-month lock-in period where patients must remain until open enrollment begins again.

The Board determined that eliminating this program will save $180,000 in annual administrative costs to operate the enrollment lock-in policy. This policy change will also encourage existing health networks to competitively vie to keep patients who will be allowed greater mobility in choosing their health provider across CalOptima's networks. Members that are dissatisfied with their primary care physician would be permitted to select a different provider at time during the year without having to wait for a specific window of time.

ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY (OCFA)

"Fill The Boot" is Just Around the Corner

The Muscular Dystrophy Association's Annual "Fill-the-Boot" campaign is right around the corner. On May 20th and May 21st, OCFA firefighters will help raise money for the MDA. Look for firefighters in select cities with their boots out, and donate to MDA!

The FBI recently reported a significant decrease in bank robberies in 2010 as compared to 2009. In Orange County there were 64 bank robberies in 2010, as compared to 116 in 2009.

Orange County Sheriff's Department PIO Jim Amormino, who serves as press liaison for the joint federal-local Bank Robbery Apprehension Team said that good coordination between the FBI and local law enforcement, along with extraordinary efforts by the press to get pictures of bank robbers out to the public has contributed to the decline in bank robberies.

Several serial bank robbers were arrested last year by the task force after tips came from the public who had viewed bank robbers on bank security camera video broadcast by regional television stations and placed on online versions of local newspapers.

2011 Essentials for Young Lives Campaign

The transportation of items received is being donated by UPS.

The Donation Drive will kick-off county-wide with a family event at the Irvine Spectrum Center on April 30, 2011 from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information and donation sites, please visit http://www.essentialsforyounglives.org/cat2.php.
