The council conducted standard governance procedures, including holding two public hearings for a road vacation on Northeast 139th Street and a public use and necessity declaration for a trail connection. During the open public comment period, a community member shared concerns regarding the foster care system and wildlife protection. Additionally, the council approved routine administrative items on the consent agenda before proceeding to vote on separate business matters like park land acquisitions and contract amendments.

What was said
47:31 You know what I mean? What was the other one? Let me see. Yeah, so yeah, pretty much you only care about the humans. And there's no regard for the bird population or anything else. So I do suggest bird-friendly trail and anything friendly because when the house next door to me got bulldozed, the very next day, the raccoons were roadkill. So as soon as we build, all the animals die. Think about that. OK, thank you. Is there anyone else? Chair, that concludes public comment. Thank you very much. Any further comments or questions from the council? And if not, I'll entertain a motion. The resolution number is 2026-06-01. So moved. Second. Moved and seconded. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Motion carries. Thank you very much.
48:29 Thank you. OK, moving on to open public comment. Public comment on consent and separate business as well. And just as a reminder, according to our rules and procedures, comments should address county business and not make statements on the private activities, lifestyles, or beliefs of others. This includes elected officials and staff and members of the public. This includes any disruptive behavior, disparaging, or unreasonable behavior. And if that occurs, I'll ask you to stop. And it may result in a recess of the council. So with that, anyone signed up? Carmen de Leon. So it's me again, like your worst nightmare. Carmen de Leon.
49:28 I go by Mello. So we had this wonderful proclamation. And she did talk about people's experiences with foster care. And unfortunately, and I try not to cry, because I think about the name Justin Buse. And he was removed from his home three times because his daddy would beat him to death. Well, they couldn't take him the fourth time because he did beat him to death. So they took a child that was getting beaten three times and gave him back to go die. That's the error of the foster care system. Another case I heard-- oh, actually, I remember her name was Karen Cook back in 1985-ish. So we were teenagers. And she says to me, well, I just lie to them because if I go home, my parents don't let me out. But if I say that they're abusing me, I go to the foster home, and they let me go out and party
50:28 all Friday night and Saturday night. And they even had, in those days, if you remember, cable TV with the Playboy channel. So she liked the foster home because she could watch the Playboy channel and go out and party on the weekends while her parents suffered being called bad parents and the kid getting put in a foster home that didn't need to be there. She was just spoiled. And that's why I'm saying that, yeah, the foster care system, yeah, I guess it helps some people. But like I've known from people who've been in foster care, this kid Justin Buse, you know what? I think it was $40,000 per adoption. So they're getting their cut. CPS is getting their cut for taking kids away from their families. But I mean, the amount of destruction that goes into these children, you're never going to fix. But anyways, I'm going to get off that topic because it triggers me. So anyways, they make massive errors in the foster care
51:27 system, and it really needs to be looked at. The other thing on this agenda was what? Oh, yeah, that was the point. You can't sell broken goods. So if Justin Buse was beaten, give them back. We can't sell them. This kid's traumatized. But the kids who are not beaten, the girl like that was lying about her parents, they can be sold. They can get their $30,000, $40,000 cut for selling a kid who's not traumatized from being sexually abused or beaten by his parents. Those kids get sent back home. They can't sell them. But the kids that were treated nicely, oh, they can be adopted out. My son was adopted out. But as you know, they failed miserably. Anyways, I'm just going to try not to be triggered anymore. But you should know that the foster care system needs some serious, serious looking at because kids are dying in foster care.
52:25 OK, thank you. Is there anyone online? That concludes public comment, Chair. OK, great. Let me look at my agenda. OK, moving on, would anyone like to remove an item from the consent agenda? Chair? Yes. Yeah, I'd like to look a little bit more at number four. Number four, OK. Any other items? OK, then excluding number four, I will entertain a motion for items one through 10. So moved. Second. Moved and seconded. Thank you very much. All those in favor say aye. Aye. OK. Then let's proceed to item four, community planning, extending the date for parametrics inc.
53:25 related to the comp plan. Oliver is coming forward. What-- do you have a question? Yeah, I just wanted to learn a little bit more about we're extending it to a date that might be beyond our final decision. So I just want to make sure that we weren't-- there won't be any deadlines missed by this consultant if we do so. Just want to make sure. Good morning, Chair Marshall and councilors.
