Summary

During public comment, a resident identified as Mr. Gonzales asked the county to install speed bumps on Camino de la Norma after several animal deaths and questioned inconsistent enforcement by the sheriff’s deputies; he also raised the possibility of closing the road if traffic-calming measures are not installed.

During the public comment period a resident called on the commission to take action to slow traffic on Camino de la Norma and described prior requests for speed bumps that he said were denied.

The speaker, addressed by the chair as Mister Gonzales, recounted incidents involving animals killed on the road and said enforcement appeared to be applied inconsistently; he asked why tickets were issued in some cases and not others and requested the county consider speed bumps or, if that is not feasible, closing the road. The chair reminded the speaker that public comment does not produce immediate action but offered to follow up with staff on the road and enforcement concerns.

The remarks included an accusation directed at a law-enforcement individual; the commission curtailed the speaker when the three-minute limit expired and planned to follow up through staff for any actionable next steps.
