Chair Tara Lawson Reimer introduced the item and opened the meeting with a short video showing a recent federal enforcement operation at a restaurant. Lawson Reimer said the county must ensure workers and employers understand \"that due process does not disappear just based on where you're born,\" and she described the proposed program as a means to protect workplaces, preserve jobs and reduce community harm.

The program approved by the board calls for the Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement (county office) to roll out multilingual, trauma-informed training and make materials available both in person and online. County staff said the plan will include in-person sessions and recorded trainings posted on the county website so employers and workers can access materials at their convenience. The county’s chief administrative staff said an initial version of related training has already been issued to public counters and would be reissued and extended to reach county work sites.

Supporters who addressed the board during the 21-person public comment period described firsthand fear and disruption caused by aggressive enforcement operations. Erica Castillo, a small business owner and co-chair of Advocacy at Business for Good, said businesses and workers “have shared with us the fear, confusion, trauma, and financial losses they experience when federal immigration agencies raid their workplaces,” and urged the county to include community-based organizations in developing the training.

Unions and county employees also urged training for public worksites. Casey Shirk, a county employee and SEIU Local 221 member, told the board county employees already anticipate such raids and requested multilingual resources for county workplaces as well as small businesses.

Several supervisors said they supported the training but expressed different perspectives about the underlying immigration enforcement actions. Supervisor Joel Desmond said he would not support immediate implementation without reviewing the training’s content and framed his opposition around a view that federal enforcement exists because of border policies; Desmond voted no. Supervisor Nora Vargas (noted elsewhere in public comments) was not recorded as casting a dissent on this item. The motion passed with one no vote; the clerk recorded the motion as passing with Supervisor Desmond voting no and all other supervisors present and voting aye.

Following the vote, staff confirmed the training will be made available to county employees and the county website will host materials. County staff also said they will coordinate with community-based organizations, business groups and worker advocates to ensure materials are multilingual and trauma-informed, and to expand the scope beyond ICE to include other federal entities that carry out immigration enforcement.

The board’s action directs the chief administrative officer to develop and implement the training program; staff will return to the board with implementation details. The motion does not change county law or confer new legal protections; it directs development of county-provided training and guidance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","7-22-2025 County of San Diego Board of Supervisors Meeting - Part 3","oneSentenceSummary","The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4–1 to direct staff to develop and implement a 'Know Your Rights' training program for small businesses and workers to prepare for federal immigration enforcement actions; the item passed with Supervisor Desmond voting no.","taxTitle","San Diego County, California","taxId",2838,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6505984,"San Diego supervisors deny Ramona Public Cemetery board expansion request",859,481440,1341250,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5441888-4fa92fe09e69ec2261c1ad51190db189&start=481&end=1341","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5441888-4fa92fe09e69ec2261c1ad51190db189/thumbnail_481440.jpg","/articles/6505984/San-Diego-County/California/San-Diego-supervisors-deny-Ramona-Public-Cemetery-board-expansion-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6505984-8b5e3125416de0d2ed925ea95fbff3fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775225905&Signature=kex60O62O~h3DSEbV6j3hdtZv5TZd8Bx~y~Htcu7OMSVAKeGzI58FTc8tEVf57~6r428aynq0NrYr80j5b9hl538OXjH-i9V5nnFmqQ9sYqh76p99c21o3epNlgQeTRhiJkxH~XqIlZysP6SBqeg1zBR3K-c1jxKI3IeYZTczHtGNXA5xTwvWjuG8rBoHFa7pM4vehKjcS2-dl~FB0-ntrRkbTbjIka~n6e1p9eHSN6qgvxNjlD4803pdlxvDB4bxY5FNoKS6d~iwU5HnJ8X6t4SL4xUqrMb2KWfJPdX4D~7Tl4J4pwfZIzZajHJmga4ypS6Tz~IYBDBw6gppl3eDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously July 22 to deny a resolution that would have expanded the Ramona Public Cemetery District’s board of trustees from three members to five.

Supervisor Joel Anderson, who introduced the background on the item, urged the board to reject the request and recommended pursuing a merger with the local water district. Anderson said the district is very small, noting it has about four employees and a budget of roughly $400,000, and that \"having a board member for every employee seemed a little excessive to me.\" He added the previous board had authorized health benefits for itself, which contributed to county concerns about governance.

Anderson told the board that comparable cemetery districts in the county operate effectively with three trustees and that state law allows districts to be governed by either a three- or five-member board. He said the county should encourage discussions with the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) about a potential consolidation with the water district to gain economies of scale for groundskeeping and equipment.

Public comment included nine requests to speak (three in person, six by phone) and one emailed comment in support. Speakers expressed a mix of skepticism, personal concerns and local commentary about the district and those advocating for the expansion. Comments ranged from questions about the district’s need for additional trustees to broader unrelated complaints about county practices; none of the in-person public commenters identified specific governance proposals that materially altered the board’s analysis.

After public comment and board discussion, Chair Tara Lawson Reimer seconded Supervisor Anderson’s motion to deny the resolution. The motion carried unanimously with all supervisors present and voting in favor.

The board’s denial leaves the Ramona Public Cemetery District as a three-member board. Anderson and others urged the district and the community to examine a potential consolidation with the nearby water district through the LAFCO process, which Anderson said could yield cost savings for operations, legal services and equipment procurement.

The board did not adopt changes to policy or governance for other cemetery districts at the meeting; the action was limited to denying the specific expansion request from the Ramona Public Cemetery District.","The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to deny a resolution asking that the Ramona Public Cemetery District expand its board from three to five trustees, with supervisors urging consideration of a merger with the local water district instead.","actionData","errors"]
