PUBLIC INPUT:

> Rubi Saldana

We continue having problems with respite because although the limit was removed and plans areindividualized the same method is used to detennine service. It also worries us the number of

cases each Spanish speaking service coordinator has. We know that they have to maintain a levelof mental and emotional stability to maintain the cases efficiently.

> Karina Saldana

It is too far from Downey to this location. This is why we ask that the next board meeting takeplace near Bell where it is more accessible. We also disagree with the fact that you close at7;00pm because many people arrive late because of the location.

> Emma Orozco

I have a support group named Un Paso Mas and I request SCLARC support us in training,information, and resources for our families.

> Maria LopezThe community is requesting fair representation for the Spanish community with respect to theexecutive team who make decisions in regards to budget and the clinical team. In addition, Ms.

Lopez presented the board with a LSVF letter dated 11/13/2018 in which the support group isrequesting to meet with the board president and two board members.
