Porfirio Mancillas, program coordinator for the Program Business Intelligence Unit in a county department identified in the transcript as the "department of cultural waste and measures," presented an overview of a new interactive website that will publish the county's annual status report, which he referred to in the session as the "credit report." Mancillas said the report is required by the state and is intended to inform legislators, educators and growers about agricultural value in San Diego County.
"What is really cool is that it allows now the user to feel more like they have a book in their head," Mancillas said, describing an interface that lets users flip through pages like a printed book. He said the site is designed to reduce reliance on paper and make long-term reports more accessible to residents and stakeholders over the next decade.
Mancillas told the audience the county keeps records of these reports back to the 1920s, underscoring the historical scope the website will make available. He added that compiling the report is a long process: "for instance, that takes, like, the whole year to do." Mancillas framed his unit's work as part of a broader data-driven, continuous-improvement effort inside the department.
The presentation consisted of description and demonstration; no formal actions, votes or policy changes were recorded in the transcript. Mancillas also recounted his career path—starting as an asset assistant and later serving in management and probation-related roles—and said those experiences inform his current work.
The county official did not provide a formal timeline for the website's full public rollout in the transcript. The session did not record any questions from other named officials, formal motions or referenced statutes beyond Mancillas' statement that the report is "state mandated."
