38 Question If money was used to pay essential worker's, how would it be determined who? Andhow much? For how long? What if they're already getting premium pay? Would they getdouble? I don't know 1 single person that wasn't essential. Besides the ones you hear aboutthere are a lot of 'others' like Drug & alcohol counselor's, who if not there, clients wouldpossibly regress. Person's that assist mentally disadvantaged, like at Kingsview. Corporateoffices of store worker's. Foster Farms worker's. The people that make sure our water, sewer,garbage are all working. Hmmm what about the cable or internet worker's? It seems to me,some classifications would be left out. People would feel cheated, some angry, then litigation,how much is that going to cost?Also, so many essential worker's. Has anyone determined howmany there are in Merced County? What if they live in Merced Co. but work elsewhere & viceversus. Even if you only paid them an extra $1.00 hr, THATS A VERY QUICK WAY TO BURN

300 A survey like this is presumably very cost effective but in the end only provides cover fordecision makers to point to. I consider myself in the better educated/financially well off end ofcounty population, but answering (favoring or not favoring) these groupings is in my opinion likepulling something out of my rear end. Other options might be more expensive and timeconsuming but possibly more effective in identifying more realistic (or fact-based) preferencesif (possibly) they could be designed effectively. I must be an optimist, because I service on theCity's charter advisory committee (since 2007) and saw first-hand how even with thought-provoking staff information to that hand-picked group, the members often acted as though theyhad not read, or hadn't been able (or capable) of utilizing quality information to develop qualityrecommendations.

1494 We need more community centers where adolescents and teenagers can entertain themselvesand each other in a safe way OR we need to provide adolescents and teenagers with a citybus pass that allows them to travel throughout Merced so they can transport themselves to anafter school event when the schools cannot afford them opportunities. For example: If a middleschool student attends a middle school in the north of Merced but wants to join a boxing gymover by the airport, they need parents to give them a ride to the gym which impacts parentshaving to leave work early or not being able to take the student to boxing. This lack ofextracurricular activity opportunities withdraw our adolescents and teenagers even furthersimply because they don't have transportation to other extracurricular activities not offered atschools. Even at schools, not all kids have opportunities to be involved because of limitedcapacity.

and we must do more for future generations. This would be a good start for the “AmericanRescue Plan”

1498 City of Livingston, needs funding to offset any loan they obtain to fix our potable water issueand replace the wells, water lines and million dollar filters required. I believe a safe, sanitaryand health issues come first therefore infrastructure is foremost to establish a solid foundationto fix other issues. Keeping the water cost low and affordable is crucial so this is Livingston'spriority. Well, first we'd like to see the four Councilmember members ousted but that's aseparate issue. A grant to fund all or part of our water problem is top priority followed by roadsand streets in and around the community. As far as homeless services, we need the countyand other areas to stop dumping homeless people in our city. We went from two or three tomany more and it's a small enough town that we can tell who's not from here. So please stopdumping your Merced and bay area homeless folks here. Services can't be rendered to thehomeless because they either don't want them or they don't have an address which is requiredin order to receive county and state services. So fix the address problem first so they canapply for food stamps and TANF. Adding more support services will only make them moredependent and not fix the problem. You need to make them independent and able to apply forservices they can't obtain due to a lack of an address.

As I’m sure everyone in the state of California is aware, we live in a valley where spring, summer and even fall temperatures can reach well above 100 degrees, and our city(Los Banos) has no splash pads at any of our parks and most parks do not have structures offering adequate shade in the extremely hot summer months. Some type of splash pad, several in fact, would be a great addition to the parks in our city and allow our children some way to cool off when the hot temperatures are in the forecast. Thank you for your consideration in advance. -[NAME REDACTED]( stay at home mom to 3 children under 6 y.o.).

1582 - A lot of wasted space along HWY 99 from G Street to V Street - Have a developer come inand develop the location for an expansive retail complex for travelers going up and down HWY99. - Allow for other industries to come into the area, not just agriculture. We have UC Mercedwith a lot of young talent graduating from that university - create a shared office spacecommunity for tech start-ups and international commerce to seed and expand. For roads - thenew home developments in the Bellevue area is going to increase vehicle traffic - HWY 59needs to be upgraded into a 4 lane highway from Bellevue Rd all the way to HWY 99.

The trail system is great but pleasekeep finding more ways to extend it and create green spaces, especially south of the tracks.People south of the tracks like to walk and bike too - don’t ignore them just because that partof town is less wealthy and has more black and POC. Thank you.

1772 Los Banos tap water, it is irresponsible that county and city leaders have known for yearsabout it and done nothing to make it better. Low income families do not have the means topurchase reverse osmosis systems for their homes which continues to marginalize people.HSA employees have continued to work through the pandemic and frontline workers have beenasked to return to the office and deserve that their income is increased. When uppermanagement has had interviews via zoom to keep safe frontline was to do in personappointments when state directive was we could continue phone interviews. Plus PPE is notreadily available, why is there no wipes since workers are expected to wipe down door handlesand room they used with a client. There is the toxic spray and paper towels but the gloves arenot placed there they need to be asked for. Masks are not easily accessible, management hasthem so they need to be asked for which is ridiculous to ask daily or buy one’s own becausethey know who has to continue wearing them. The county has shown they don’t care about thehealth and safety of their employees. We signed up for the job because we care about peopleand helping our communities and would hope the county would care about their employees in asimilar way to allow us to continue to help serving our community. We are back in the office soprovide what is needed for us to be safe and get it together with the technology. Stop trying tomake us uncomfortable by asking workers if they are ok meeting in room when things were setup for video conferencing but because management doesn’t know how to work with technologyyou feel like you have to say ok since you are being asked by your supervisor in front of yourcoworkers.

Are theseveterans halls opening their halls to homeless vets where they can sleep/eat/shower daily? Ifthe answer is no, than what would we be supporting, as a community, when we give veteranhalls money Just? Just because we support veterans shouldnt mean we should shownepotism.

1808 Board of supervisors: PLEASE GIVE REASONABLE PAY RAISES AND BENEFITS TOCOUNTY EMPLOYEES! My husband works for the district attorneys office. We moved hereover two years ago so that he could take this job. Since that time, his pay has not only NOTkept up with inflation, it has literally gone backwards! His pay raises haven’t even been enoughto cover our family’s cost for insurance premiums! AND we incur 100% of health costs for ourfamily after the benefits cap. People are leaving and looking for jobs elsewhere in drovesbecause the pay and benefits in Merced county are not commensurate with other counties.How do you expect to keep employees under those conditions? And YOU, then, areresponsible for the resulting danger to public safety. Please VALUE these employees, and paythem accordingly. Our safety is in their hands, and with current pay and benefits as they are,you will attract only the bottom of the barrel of “qualified” applicants. This is scary! WHYshould this money go to homeless people or parks rather than these men and women who giveso selflessly of their time and knowledge to keep us all safe? Please consider this in yourdiscussions. Thank you!

It is not lostupon us that we are paid below market to begin with but the county essentially pushing 100%of increasing medical premium costs into employees has left us without any practical salaryincrease for at least three years. When accounting for inflation it was amounted to a tenpercent pay decrease. In the public safety sector, you are already experiencing a decrease inquality and it is only going to get worse.

1820 It’s time for Merced to address the lack of safe cycling paths throughout Merced, with the costof gasoline, if safe transportation was available on roadways, cycling would be a more readilyacceptable way of transportation. There are no protected pathways. It’s time to think outsidethe box, stop wasting money on projects that continually waste money. Merced is so poorlyrun and managed. Just look at Atwater building an ice rink for the winter months. What doesMerced do!!?? Nothing!! There is nothing for the youth to do in this town. There is nothing forthe young adults to do either. This town is so depressing!!! Take a look at other cities and takenote! It doesn’t matter how much federal funding you get, nothing will ever change if it isconstantly and continually squandered.

Pay off peoplesPGE bills that make under $75k in 2020. Those gift cards were great, but everyone living in thecity limits but in the unincorporated areas didn't get them.

1916 I have always felt a need for self defense classes… especially for women and children.Perhaps offered through valley crisis or something similar. Especially in our present time ofpandemic where the criminal activity has risen greatly. Also in my personal experience and inobserving other reputable sources , I know that MPD has not been able to help us to theirusual fullest potential. I’m certain that they would not purposely be doing so yet are not given achoice. In fact I was actually told basically this in one of my own situations that I waseventually granted a restraining order on. However I have witnessed many that are not solucky and are left in fear without reproductions for the criminal behavior. This is unjust to thevictims and I feel if perhaps the city of Merced could at least offer self defense classes to helpempower those who could easily become a future victim then that would be a positive stepforward towards helping with our unfortunate increase in crime rate during this pandemic.

1929 I would love to see Bear Creek transformed into a ‘river walk’ similar to San Antonio orNaperville. It’s a unique resource in the Central Valley and we should emphasize it. We couldhave food vendors, lighting, water features, music, events day and night. It’s a goldmine justwaiting to be developed. The river walk in Texas is a nationwide tourism draw. Think of thepeople that would come to Merced to stroll and shop and eat. We could be a destination with ariver walk!!

Is it more lucrative to stay home and live on unemployment? Why aren't we lookingat mental health issues? Why aren't we looking at bullying in our schools? Why aren't welooking at sexual exploitation? Instead of mandates, we need to focus on education. Letpeople know why the vaccine is not harmful.

1991 A public well-lighted, padded track with ample parking to encourage and support safe, outdoorwalking and/or jogging for the entire community. (Reference the city of Campbell’s communitycenter track.) The school tracks already here in Los Banos are not open to the public. And,while there is a canal trail available fir public use, parking is limited and it is not safe(especially for teens or women) to park at one end, leave their car out of view, and then be outof view themselves once further into the trail. It’s far safer to circle a track repeatedly withother exercisers while still being able to leave your vehicle nearby. I’d also like to add that thiswould help many people in the community as it is obvious (by the addition of dialysis centers)that weight and diabetes is a major concern amongst its citizens. I also wonder each time Ipass the open field in front of the Courthouse (along Mercey Springs) or the open field (along Gstreet) between the Courthouse and Community Center, if either would be optimal for such atrack.

2010 I would have hoped to see some sort of support for students. My particular child is 15, andthrough COVID entered into activities that required law enforcement. Now, the impact of nohands on education has left him behind, and trying to get by. We're going to see a MASSIVEhigh school drop out rate in the next couple of years. We're going to see younger populationswithout the resources to survive, and resort to desperate measures to do so. I know thesefunds aren't for school aged, but broadband, community halls and homeless services certainlywould trickle down to help this population. We forgot about these children, left them homewithout supervision for two years. I am dealing with behavioral issues I never dreamed of, Iknow I'm not the only family.

These are the hidden issues that we do not want toaddress but that perpetuate poverty and injustice. A community character is shown in theprotection of its most vulnerable population.

I feel if we build bike lanes separated from cars/trucks and improvedbicycle parking, you will take away the biggest barrier from people riding bicycles in thiscommunity which is the perception that riding a bike is unsafe. More people riding bikes in ourcommunity means healthier and happier people, cleaner air, less congestion and noise. Mercedhas made a good start with the bike path along Black Rascal Creek, Fahren's park and out toUC Merced. It needs improvement with connecting the south side and downtown of Mercedwith the northside. Also the current bike lanes along G Street narrow south of Bear Creek.Along M Street, the bike lanes are poorly maintained and narrow. The wider bike lanes on GStreet are better but still are not separated. Investment in separated bike lanes costs a fractionto build and maintain as compared to roads for cars and trucks. We need to think how we planour cities around people instead of cars. With increase interests in ebikes, the opportunitiesopen for all ages.

10 Water source, roads 1/31/2022 4:21 PM

11 Local neighborhoods need to be encouraged to maintain homes and yards. Community Streetsand businesses should be cleaned up on exterior. Having recently returned to Merced it feelsdirty and rundown and it seems to need pride and facelift.

1/30/2022 6:59 PM

52 We need to invest in public parks. The Verona\Mission Estate community in Los Banos doesnot even have baby swings. Also speed bumps need to be installed by Pacheco high schoolespecially on Palermo road.

53 1. Farmer's need water!! We use a ton on our lawns, but who can afford to dig up lawn? Wherewould we put the dug up lawn? We need lots of help buying & installing FAKE GRASS,XERISCAPE or DESERT LANDSCAPING. 2. Sidewalk Repair 3. Why doesn't Atwater haveBlue Bins? Because there's a loophole & Atwater residents don't want to pay for blue bins, ISWRONG & SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. 4. Brighter Street Lights, but energy efficient. NOTE: ISTHIS SURVEY OUTDATED? WE SHOULDN'T HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE ON THIS SURVEYSINCE A SEPARATE BILL WAS PASSED FOR THAT. MANY PEOPLE WON'T KNOW, orthink the ARPA includes infrastructure. I think the survey should have told people there will bemoney coming for broadband & infrastructure. If you don't think there's going to be enough,then you should notate that. If I didn't know there was a separate bill passed, I would havechosen it as #2. So your survey results will probably be WRONG. SAD! I DO THANK YOUFOR ASKING OUR OPINION. How will we hear the results? I wish that URL or QR code wason survey as well as an approximate date of when results will be finalized.

925 Mental Health. In Merced County, Behavioral Health & Recovery Services (BHRS) is thecounty service providing mental health services. BHRS has a very high provider:patient ratio.As a patient, I am appalled at the lack of service. People go without seeing a provider becausethere’s not enough of them. This is the agency that is providing service to the general publicwhich includes the homeless population. Something needs to be addressed to get betterservices going. They spent so much money into their new building but then patients fallthrough the cracks like myself. I don’t get to see my clinician every month, I’m currentlylooking at 8 weeks between appointments IF that appointment doesn’t get rescheduled. I’vetried reaching out and even filed a grievance but NOTHING has come of that grievance whichwas suggested for me to do because I needed action taken. It just shows me that there’s notenough care being provided.

1/22/2022 11:15 AM

926 The pandemic has brought a hardship for many families. Many have lost a loved one. Manyhave lived in fear for almost two years.

General upkeep, landscaping, gutters, leaf collecting, fallen and dead trees. Public safety and police response time.

Lights in Hilmar @ Geer & Lander. Side walk needs to be completed on geer.

Pock up trash along roadways. Its a mess Merced County roads look like a garbage dump.

Food Bank upgrades

Beautification of the city of atwater. The main entrances to the city are so neglected and empty horrid buildings.

Set up a sight where these assholes can take their trash and dump it instead of along the roads it would be cheaper then sending crews out to clean up the mess.

Yes the homeless not being under bridges and in public areas. Not having jobs for the homeless to do to contribute to the community.

Support local law enforcement. Too much defunding going on.

Clean up homeless camps - find somewhere for them besides the freeway on ramps.

Public Transportation Education

Water quality and Water retention

Homeless housing + More support for work + training.

Get rid of the homeless and people who refuse to work. You're feeding stray cats. Just making the problem worse.

Grants for small business that are being started in our community

ROADS - COUNTY! ELDER SUPPORT - RURAL AREAS!

Find us a governor who is not an idiot

PLEASE HELP THE LIVINGSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT, WE ARE CLOSING MANY OFFICES.

Economic development

Fix the water system in Livingston, its poison!!!!!

Fix the roads, support police fire dept

support police

Excessive water bills from city. City clean up.

Remove homeless encampments NOW!

ARPA funding would be great if it would reach the Le Grand community, for community services, roads, and town projects. It;s a small farm community but always being left out, soon will become a ghost town. Be nice to see some update things out here.

Extra funding for law enforcement get rid of liberal judges

CLEAN UP NEIGHBORHOODS USED AS A DUMP

MPD - Help with the crime give them more funds.

BUILD MORE RESERVOIRS

Ground water over plumbing Excessive dust from almond harvest

Have the homeless people for a unit fill out required paperwork to get approved to rent a unit and let them fix their own units up. It would keep the homeless population busy doing something productive and away from the areas that currently have a problem. It allows the homeless to develop skills keeps them busy and at the same time increases the value of the area. Just have more police presense in the area to keep them all in line. I have more to the idea but there is little space to write. For more information: [Name Redacted]

1486 I feel that essential employees that have worked in the Probation Department and correctionalfacilities within the county have done so, with little assistance, and without a hiccup. Theseemployees have kept a very important part of Merced County functioning during this verydifficult time of a National Pandemic and should be compensated with a raise in pay, andperhaps bonuses or stipends for their hard work!

lets keep this a town = not a city Better hospital Help for kids Better pay

more speed bumps

roads - my driveway floods when it rains

Gang crimes in city need to be addressed.

help for small businesses

We need better water & more police service.

improve skate park in Los Banos - too many kids and not enough space

I feel that the community needs more parks and splash pods for the kids. I also feel this townneeds more grocery stores.

Revoke our "sanctuary state" status and enforce immigration laws. Increase and enable ourlaw enforcement presence. Invest in public safety. Make California safe again!

1. Our roads here in Delhi need to be worked on. 2. Parks for our families to spend timetogether.

The county supervisors need to drive down E. Roosevelt Rd, in El Nido. Our roads here aredestroyed and it ruins our vehicles.

Gang problems in community (drugs and human trafficking etc.)

gangs (continue)

Neighborhood loaded with stray cats/dogs. My neighbor also has 9 dogs that bark 24/7. Canyou fund animal services so that they can do a better job? Currently they don't respondbecause they are understaffed.

Meals on wheels type of program for senior citizens and home-bound persons.

Essential workers are severely underpaid in our City and County!

The restaurants, better selection. Not so many fast food places. Whole foods market. Morestores for shopping. Not Dollar stores!

the Los Banos bypass comes to mind.

A bypass. Get rid of 152, through the town of Los Banos. Best funding ever

please stop over funding police - policing doesn't make anyone safe

Roads and public safety

finding business to empty lots in Atwater

homeless camps

Helping residents who are struggling economically, housing costs, food, shelter. people arestruggling to make ends meet.

city needs to do a better job cleaning up trash on streets and along paths - city is dirty

Roads- needs to be addressed. We keep on building homes but no roads to accommodate-Hwy 152 need to by pass all trucks. Certain areas are beginning to look really bad.

get the homeless and criminals off the streets - only way to feel safer

our kids need safe spaces unaffected by homeless - where kids can play safely away fromcovid where they are not being kidnapped by the homeless

Roads

more aid for our seniors citizens!

Affordable housing

Lots! Jobs for youth, activities for youth build up parts and the zoo! Its pitiful we should beashamed. [NAME REDACTED]

More camping grounds.

roads - keeping our parks and dog park

Maybe neighborhoods could have some resolution's about cars parked everywhere.

dos palos needs to fix water system supply

Environment! Cleaning up all the trash!

More funds to hire Police & Sheriffs!!!

issues w stray animals all over town

gustine middle schools don't have crosswalk or sidewalk - the kids walk on side of road

Put the people back to work.

Additional youth services / activities ... if you keep them active/busy then they are likely tostay out of trouble.

Support for small business, promote and support.

Get rid of all graffiti. Gang/drug task force. What are community halls?

Jails

roads need to be fixed and essential workers should get hazard - premium pay and time off tospend w their families

affordable housing

Water storage

Here in Los Banos we have very few apartment buildings. Folks always asking for apartmentsto rent. Some form (use money) of kickback or wave fee's so developers will build multi-units.

water purity is a major concern

Increase capacity at jail to hold criminals accountable for their actions.

Lack of trees - outdoor activities homelessness and our town aesthetics!

The hospital in Los Banos was great when the population in town was 10,000. I really think thewhole 54,000,000 would go a long way in building another hospital.

Homeless need more attention, on housing, medical facilities for mental health.

roads mckee and yosemite ave

Any and all socialist issues should be through thrown in the garbage and that includesDemocrap reps!

Homeless shelters

bonus pay for city and county essential workers who assisted when needed during covid. coworkers who stayed working the whole time during and still through pandemic - stimulus pay topeople who work

percolation ponds to raise groundwater level

building a hospital for a growing community in los banos

Tell the home owners to clean up their back yards not look like junk yard, specially the newowner of the [REDACTED], moved. During summer when the grass dry out, they could createfire.

affordable safe housing assistance with adv's and fighting off peoples ignorance andmisinformarion

recreational facilities development ie public golfing courses - tennis courts - swimming pools -this area is too hot to not have public pools - maybe not now w covid but for future consideration

essential employees deserve to be compensated for their work in keeping Merced Countyrunning through the pandemic

The road i've been living from 7/2001 to the present dont have a light post and since its a notthru street its really dark.

No, but we need to have a better water quality.

Limit on application fees when applying for a rental. For example today they want to chargeevery adult with an application fee that will potentially live in the rental. So my moms lookingfor a place for 3 senior adults and everyone wants to charge between $30 to $50 perapplication fee. That means my mom has pay $90 to $150 in fees and it doesn't guaranteeyou'll get the rental. So my mom could be spending hundreds of dollars on application feeswhich is ridiculous! Money that she could be going towards renting a home or apartment. Ibelieve that's why a lot of people are struggling to find housing. Oh and everyone wants you tomake 3 times the rental amount. So if a house is $2000.00 a month you'd need to make$6000.00 a month, that's insane!

Although homelessness has become a big problem in the area. I do not believe that providingmore aid would assist in reducing homelessness, in turn it is likely to incentivize people tobecome homeless in order to qualify for more aide. COVID-19 has severely impacted mentalhealth for people staying home, in my opinion. I would like to see some funding be utilized toprevent homelessness, addiction and support children's mental health at home. Children’smental health is severely important for the future of our community. This could be done byproviding resources for working families such as more after school child care, communityevents that provide a sense of belonging for people who do not have families living nearby andan increase in education for parents on how to build better habits and parenting education. I ama Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and I am interested in giving back to my community byproviding education to my community. If by any chance, there is any funding available for sucha role, I am interested in spreading awareness to parenting concepts that can help reducestress at home, possibly prevent child abuse, and information on how to reduce stress throughMindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies. My email is [REDACTED]if anyone would like to reach me.

De-privatization of healthcare; help create a single-payer healthcare system for California.

Roads

If we could help the Merced Rescue Mission with funding as their services are making adifference in our community for the homeless and the change in of lives.

high speed rail water conservation

Free Electric Vehicle charging at mall, library and theatre to promote purchase of electric car ortruck. Available to Merced resident only.

More water / splash parks for kids on the north side of Merced. By the hospital area or by theGoldenValley Highschool / Weaver Distric area where all the new housing is taking place. InPlanada we need a library for our kids.

We need to offer stimulus packages/cards to indepependent contractors like hairdressers whowork tirelessly to make ends meet. When business is slow, they don't have unemployment torely on to get them through the end of the month. Many business owners and independentcontractors have access to health insurance and other perks but at a costly price whichusually is offset by bigger companies.

ENFORCEMENT OF MASK MANDATES!!!!

Increase the bicycle infrastructure as method of transportation. Both Merced and Atwater arecommutable via bike.

Please fix the roads that have been deteriorating over the years and some are plain dirt roadsat this point now.

We need a recycling cans for plastics and bottles. Urban planning

Yes, stop the smoking of marihuana in public. If second hand smoke is in offense and a threatwhy isn't marihuana. Not all of us like the smoke of skunk. I hate when I go to public places oreven winton cemetery were these offenders like to go to smoke their stuff. Also, I can't even

go to my back yard and have a barbecue without having to smell that crap. Furthermore,adding homes to SFHs is increasing traffic in the alleys and with that comes drug trafficking.Gangs and drugs other than infrastructure is very important. We need more education andactivities for the youth. yes there is some but not enough. More needs to be done, morecultural arts, events and support for the arts. Those kids doing graffiti need to have theirenergy directed to a more positive expression and Art provides that. Lastly, our city andperhaps the county needs fire engine with a latter able to serve buildings taller than threestories. Since farmland is most valuable and farms object to Livingston's growth, the only wayto add housing is to go up rather than expand. Some farmers have resorted to the WilliamsonAct to stop the growth in ignorance and desperation, thinking it's the right thing to do. I believea shared unit to serve this taller buildings can be had and stationed in an appropriate distancefrom all cities with similar type buildings. Rather than serving one city, a unit or two can bepurchased with joint member cities and then rotate its location amongst those cities, forexample Livingston, Atwater and Merced or only the county cities with buildings taller than twostories. This would make it more feasible to obtain. Federal grant funds are not that availableas some ignorant council members think. Especially those incorrectly informed ones inLivingston.

2075 I keep mentioning roads because I don't know how many times I have seen work done toHenry Miller Rd, but NEVER to the smaller back roads such as Johnson, Nantes, etc. I feellike these smaller in between roads are neglected because the traffic using those roads areless, but for us that use them daily, the pot holes are frustrating.

They have over the years doneeverything possible to keep ticket prices to a minimum (50 cents per ride, a dollar for tthe trainride).

In order for our people to“see something, say something” we’d actually have to be looking and paying attention. Peopleare busy, can you blame them… like I said, the cost of living. Not only that, in the night timethere are many drunk or high homeless people and not many sober residents (because mostare home) so if we could have security in each plaza to make sure everyone stays safe, thatwould be appreciated.

2176 One issue that needs to be addressed by local and all the way to the federal legislature, is theenormous economic impact of insurance networks. Because of our insurance system, healthcare is no longer affordable. Only the deductible from a visit to the doctor will cover theprovider’s services, all the other thousands just go to the insurance burocratización of the“front desk” and the investors and stock market operators. It’s necessary to appoint somethinglike auditors to ensure the honest and fair operation of our health system. If we avoid theabuse of the healthcare insurance, we will be eliminating one of the biggest communitiesburdens.

I have seen in other cities they make small sheds available forhomeless people to live in and have given them a way to live and have a little pride. Mercedhas a huge drug problem that also contributes to the homelessness. I was born and raisedhere on the southwest side of town and was never afraid to walk around town, I now live onRambler Road and I am afraid to even walk on my street. Too much crime! 😔

2226 - Stop with the WOKE PROJECTS. - Any mention of race, equity, inequality, or socialist-likelanguage is going delegitimize Merced's leadership.

2260 Please consider having the lights on G/M/R street synchronized. Traffic moved way too slowduring rush hour because the lights change whenever there's 1 car on the perpendicular street.So during rush hour 100 cars have to wait for 1 car to cross. Instead, what should be done, isthat all of the streets on G turn green for a minute or so, then they all turn red to allowcrossing. The quality of life would improve sooo much with synchronized lights.

homeowners, and is actually the leading cause of more homeless and for the homeless weneed to create a system to help homeless get off there feet and get them employed instead ofenabling them to comfortable and feed into the homeless crisis

Roads repairs is number one! Thank you for asking our opinion.

No.

Roads should not be on there money was already given for that stop wasting money. We needmore water not storm drains.

Funding opportunities for businesses hurt by Covid 19

Creating or at least attempting to get companies to invest in Merced in the youth. For example,Roseville has mini golf and sunsplash business. We need more outlets for our young youth toenjoy. Until we do this, gangs will continue to take over and the lack of law enforcement bc thegovernor has a such a false reality on the communities across the state and what his policiesare doing.

Helping small business owners get back on their feet! Illegals and welfare recipients (long termwelfare recipients excluded in any help) definitely illegals should not receive taxpayer funds!Illegals shouldn’t benefit off taxpayers back!

Help the hardest hit businesses, restaurants, hotels

Lack of animal control/support in this county is a huge issue, always has been.

Actually do something about homeless and there crimes. Not have 6 people digging a hole andwasting money.

No.

Crime in our streets,, we need more youth programs

Domestic Violence shelter and assistance and awareness

Veterans services and student services along with more paw enforcement

Water! Solutions and support for residential homeowners with private wells. We are running dry.Support for essential workers, specifically farmworkers regardless of immigration status.Roads and storm drain repairs

Racial equity

Churches claiming helping the homeless when in reality it using them for taxes write off. Whenask the city for help they always say they're 25 Churches that helping the homeless. If inreality they would no need for funding any other organization. ROADS are really bad in areasthat there is so many holes that persons have broken their tires ribs and can't blame the citybecause they have nothing to do with it except take a report I can go on with a lot of otherissues but I just feel that if I would stand and take surveys of what really people would say Idon't have the time I need to work Thank you for your concern [NAME REDACTED]

Homelessness

Speed bumps around the high speed neighborhoods in Gustine Ca. Roads !!! More Policefunding, we are under staffed in that area , we can't keep Police with lower pay. HELP!

There are a lot of people who are on drugs and not enough help or support

Mo programs for the youth education parks and rec services things for seniors The roadconditions out here because we have lotta patchwork and it doesn’t last as need to redo theworst roads

Senior programs, feeding, health, welfare. Gang activities, police funding,

Day care provider should be helped a lot but we are over looked. Not taken in consideration topay our bills

HOMELESSNESS!!

After school programs for k-12

put speed bumps on merced ave between schendel ave and august ave

Think this it’s bullshit and is not serving the community anyway shape or form

Homeless Services , with the goal of getting off the streets into permanent housing. Or MentalServices rendered.

Not at this time, need more time to research the issues

Expansion of mental health services especially for children

Get rid of, not assist, drug addicts commonly known as homeless. Stop lumping people in realneed with useless criminals who’s families have even given up on them…..if we have topay,I’d rather pay For prisons than “shelters”No

NO

Support libraries and public works that benefit the public.

Affordable housing; Youth jobs

Better quality water resource. Water testing. Water supply infrastructure. Better water source.Current water supply is highly mineralized compared to other cities in California. (proven byheavy water spotting after evaporation and heavy thick hard mineralized rings in toilets andbird baths after a couple of days of evaporation) Water is every California city's priority,especially looking into the future. Dollars need to be spent today to guarantee an acceptableresource in the upcoming years. San Diego has begun desalination, has begun public tastetesting of recycled sewer water, and has recently claimed a water surplus when the rest ofCalifornia is in a water shortage. Merced cannot ignore the inevitable. Funds must be used onour water supply.

City beautification and modernization

Add more medical facilities

Get rid of the homeless all over the areas by providing the shelter but put them to work aroundthe city such as cleaning the streets pick up trashs around the Merced city and county …etc.

After school programs in art, sports and music no-cost to low income children

Mental health

Roadway and bridges infrastructure

City streets in Dos Palos are the worst in the county and need major repair

Clean up trash better, especially from homeless. Stop letting homeless be shipped in fromother communities. Increase police presence. Fix the roads.

Public safety Funding of police Remove violent offenders from the area

No

Safe roads. Ada access ability on sidewalks!

Yes lots of buildings and other areas around town are in need of a good cleaning. Areas thatneed trash hauled off or cleared out that are dumped off by people. I recommended [REDACTED]

Access to healthcare and education

Yes give back taxpayer money so that they can use the money to take charge of there ow nlives without government interference.

Support for local businesses Development of permanent homeless camps Removal of garbage from the streets, orchards Water Use Education for residents including enforcement of penalties for excessive use Development of community gardens

North Merced

Bring more police funding and stop listening to criminally demonic Black Lives Matter!!!!!!!!!!!

Education programs, music and arts, family friendly events

Just clean Merced county up. Merced county still runs on the good old boy who you know andit’s awful. You all that work in Merced county know it’s true. Some day it’s all coming to a heador should I say the head.

Public health impacts by homeless

More jobs or industry in Merced.

More safety needs to be a major concern. That should be number one out of all. I’m elderly non handicapped and cannot leave my home to go for safe walks in my neighborhood. I’ve been attacked by dogs and aggressive males. I’m to scared to report because I live alone andI have no defense for retaliation from the hoods!! Make Los Banos a safer city!!! I’m a femal e and afraid to walk alone on our city walking trails because of homeless and dogs. Wish policewould have walking patrols or horse patrol, I’m willing to pay more in property taxes for highersecurity to feel safe to walk alone in our parks and neighborhoods.

Free 4 year college education for everyone

Reducing government and elimination bureaucracy wherever possible.

Public swimming pool in Los banos Also boys and girls club. In Los banos

Broader rental help

I would like to see police receive de-escalation training. I know they have a dangerous job, butthere are often better ways to resolve issues than with force. High pay for high quality police.Adjusting tax rates so the very wealthy are taxed at least as high a percentage as the middleclass. No more tax loopholes for the very wealthy. No more subsidies if they aren’t paying their fair share.

More downtown or small businesses.

Mental health issues

We don’t have clean drinking water in Livingston. Technically we do, but nobody wants to drinkit because of the TCP levels.

Expand outdoor activities at local parks, increase dog parks toget people outdoors where its healthy. Have those prepaid motorized scooters arounddowntown area. Help expand the local zoo- this supports our very young population, earlychildhood development, and lical elementary schools in learning and has them outdoors.Rehab centers for homeless that want the help. Grow trees throughout the community/publicparks that offer free food, like grow apple, orange, pomegranate, cherry, etc. Grow bushes likeblueberries, blackberries.

Put anice, large pool there that the community can use...charge entrance or sell community centerannual passes for the community to buy/use. Build a solar farm to help keep everyone'selectrical bills lower.

His pay raises haven’t even been enoughto cover our family’s cost for insurance premiums! AND we incur 100% of health costs for ourfamily after the benefits cap. People are leaving and looking for jobs elsewhere in drovesbecause the pay and benefits in Merced county are not commensurate with other counties.How do you expect to keep employees under those conditions? And YOU, then, areresponsible for the resulting danger to public safety. Please VALUE these employees, and paythem accordingly. Our safety is in their hands, and with current pay and benefits as they are,you will attract only the bottom of the barrel of “qualified” applicants. This is scary! WHYshould this money go to homeless people or parks rather than these men and women who giveso selflessly of their time and knowledge to keep us all safe? Please consider this in yourdiscussions.

2650 Bike lanes need to be greatly widened and improved. The areas next to the roads are verybumpy and there’s not much room. It’s dangerous to be forced to ride within 2-3 feet of amoving vehicle. There is abhorrent dental care in Merced County. Most public healthcaredentists prefer to remove teeth rather than fix them. Where & how can people find employmentwhen employers often won’t hire people w missing teeth because they’re stigmatized as drugusers? Many people like myself have health issues that have led to having teeth removed andcannot afford the proper dentistry. The provided options are short term. A partial that doesn’t fitcorrectly, moves around and that you cannot eat with and is only for aesthetics is ridiculous.The government needs to find a way to help people with dental implants.

It is not lostupon us that we are paid below market to begin with but the county essentially pushing 100%of increasing medical premium costs into employees has left us without any practical salaryincrease for at least three years. When accounting for inflation it was amounted to a tenpercent pay decrease. It is not a surprise that your employees are all leaving. In the public

2666 Homeless encampment clean ups, fires and dangerous waste, garbage pile ups aren’t safe. Itwould be nice to have disposal sites, garbage cans etc, available near temporaryencampments. Encampments scattering trash and leaving bodily waste exposed should beaddressed for clean up. Bridges, overpasses and enclosed spaces used for shelter need to beinspected regularly to avoid destruction by fire or explosion. We have seen this sort ofemergency frequently and it can cause harm to infrastructure as well as residents if In thewrong place at the wrong time.

2739 Housing is an issue that has been forgotten. Essential workers who lost their jobs or peopleliving from Paycheck to paycheck were displaced. Affordable housing is not readily available.Can there be some sort of Ban on letting people purchase houses outside of Merced County?It seems these Landlords collect the rent, but are not mandated to maintain the property. Thispractice creates a blight on already suffering communities. Many of the properties alongLoughborough are Rentals so the taxes that would support street cleaning, tree trimming is notavailable, nor are the property owners required to maintain their property. If they are the Cityand County of Merced has failed their residents by not holding those property ownersfinancially accountable. They could put programs in place where if the owner does not maintaintheir property they cannot rent it out or if tenants are living on their property, no rent is paiduntil the work is done. They could also cease the property and make it affordable housing orsection 8.

A handicapped person must push the door open,which is not easy to do if they are also pushing a walker or using a wheelchair. Also, one of thelobby doors must be locked and unlocked with a screwdriver! This means that the library staffmust get on their knees to access the area to put the screwdriver. It would be difficult(impossible) to lock the door quickly if one was being threatened. A security camera systemfor the building and parking area for the Atwater Library. A large library window has been brokentwice in the past year. Perhaps knowing the grounds were being monitored might discouragefurther property damage. And perhaps replacing the un-tempered glass window with a thickplastic window would be wise. The Mary Hoffman Teen Center in the Merced Library.

Jolene Schadler 2102 El Portal Drive Merced, CA 95340 I’d like the Board to use ARPA funds to support a new teen center in the Merced Library. Teens are our hope for the future. An informed citizenry is Merced’s greatest need and what better place than a public library to promote learning? The Mary Hofmann Teen Center will provide a favorable alternative to gang membership. Please give your support to this very worthwhile project.

premium pay for essential workers

Any employee who cleans or provides sanitation to a private or public entity should fall under the ARPA pay relief efforts. Including Merced County Employees, full time and extra help.

Maintain or increase fire and police presence to match the growth rate of Merced. Maintain police officer assignment to high schools full time and others part time. Study and improve timing of stoplights within the city. Seek ways to provide adequate shopping facilities in new areas, i.e. Bellevue and North Merced. Develop and provide signage for emergency routes out of each area of the city - Is there a way to coordinate existing stoplights with an emergency exiting process?

Dos Palos water treatment facility. Water for farmers.

There is so much litter in this town

Additional infrastructure to run clean water; replace city pump Bring larger businesses to community. Pay tutors and/or educational support for children all ages to come to our small community to help with schoolwork, especially those out on quarantine. (Behind in schoolwork.) Add a tower for strong faster internet support for the whole community.

Los Banos is in need of amenities to help encourage residents to engage in social activities and exercise. The pandemic has changed us all, and has greatly affected people's mental and physical health. I would like to propose that a portion of the funds go towards building public pickleball courts in Los Banos. Pickleball is a game for all ages. It is a social game, bringing people together. The game provides exercise outside in the fresh air. It would greatly help people's mental state at this difficult time. People socialize more and get less lonely. Pickleball has been proven to improve physical health. Pickleball can lower the risk of heart disease, and cut the risk of depression. When people play pickleball they get hooked on exercise. And it is a game that is accessible to people of all ages and economic backgrounds. Pickleball is for people aged 8 - 98! Adaptive pickleball is also a game for handicapped people and people in wheelchairs. If Los Banos had public pickleball courts, people from other areas would come to play in our town, and spend money in Los Banos. Tournaments bring in even more revenue. Please consider the need for people to become active and social after this devastating pandemic. If you want more information about the positive effect pickleball could have for our residents, please feel free to contact me Thank you, [REDACTED]

2828 I have always felt a need for self defense classes… especially for women and children.Perhaps offered through valley crisis or something similar. Especially in our present time ofpandemic where the criminal activity has risen greatly. Also in my personal experience and inobserving other reputable sources , I know that MPD has not been able to help us to theirusual fullest potential. I’m certain that they would not purposely be doing so yet are not given achoice. In fact I was actually told basically this in one of my own situations that I waseventually granted a restraining order on. However I have witnessed many that are not solucky and are left in fear without reproductions for the criminal behavior. This is unjust to thevictims and I feel if perhaps the city of Merced could at least offer self defense classes to helpempower those who could easily become a future victim then that would be a positive stepforward towards helping with our unfortunate increase in crime rate during this pandemic.

have heard that there are too many fees involved with someone trying to start a business inLeGrand. I think that’s ridiculous. These buildings have been vacant for many years. Therecould be some thriving businesses in there that can contribute to the betterment of ourcommunity by creating jobs and revenue.

2839 See above. I am not sure who was hired to make the road repairs around town in Atwater, butsome areas were poorly done, as stated above. The five corners needs proper dividers, ornone at all. Some areas of Atwater blvd. could use some work. Bring more business to thearea and recreational youth and cultural activity and arts.

2850 Put money into downtown. It could be a downtown Turlock and bring money into Merced.Provide decent shopping like finishing the mall that has been in the works for so many years.If I want or need to shop, I have to go to Fresno, Turlock, Modesto or other communities. Mymoney then supports all those programs. Stop the Dollar Generals, Dollar Trees and otherstores that perpetuate poverty and bring in stores that support the community like Trader Joe’sand non-discount groceries and clothing stores that are not similar to the 5-below and off brandcheap clothing. We don’t need Neiman Marcus and Macy’s but we do need better thanPenney’s and a mall that has stores like Q’s with cut rate clothing that can only be returned forstore credit. Even our teens don’t want to shop there. I am ashamed that the city governmenthas allowed Merced to be surrounded by towns with goods and services that perpetuate thatMerced is a crappy place to live. We need to invest in big business employers like Amazonand other employers and less in dirty, cheap Walmart’s that make me feel dirty to even walk inthe door.

What if we could have a nice room we could rent in thelibrary fir book clubs, meetings, small events ? We don’t have a nice small public specialgathering spot.

In the morning, when the sun is rising, it is impossible totell which lines and arrow are the "real" ones.

It would be great to see this Livingston landmark get a new roof to ensure thebuilding is safe and to not receive further damage. There is also increasing inequity in MercedCounty and would appreciate more inclusiveness and inclusion for our communities. I wouldlike to see more services and meetings in multiple languages when there are community inputopportunities. For instance, holding a community workshop on ARPA funds so that folks whoare unable to attend Merced BOS meetings are given an opportunity to participate and provideinput.

2898 Merced County employees have been offered offensive wage increases over the last decadewhile our leaders have seen their pay substantially rise. It has been proven over the course ofthe Global Pandemic that it is the workers that show up every day to insure that Mercedcounty residents are provided the safety and services they expect from the county. 55 milliondollars is more then enough money to compensate the hard working county employees whilealso fixing the failing infrastructure within our county. It is time for the board step up and helptheir workers especially those of us that were insulted about our fears of the pandemic bysitting BOS members.

10/21/2021 9:36 AM

2899 Yes, there are many doctors trying to treat COVID early and are having great success. Stopvax mandates and give people that have made their own health decisions their whole life, thepower to do so with all options available.

2900 Although I don't live in Merced County, I have worked as an essential worker for MercedCounty for 14 years (and still employed here).

I think sometimes essential workers are feeling left in the dust through all of this.

Roads, water and buildings

Water Drought

My name is [Redacted] and I live in Delhi we need a community park and meeting/recreational building, let's build pride in our local community groups and cultures and keep our children playing their sports locally

I'm [Redacted] a resident from Delhi. We need a facility for community events along with roads.

My name is [Redacted], I am a resident of Delhi. I want the County to invest in a van or Tesla or any electric car for public use for transportation. We want programs in Delhi for things like worker tr counseling services, medical health services, specialists programs so we don't have to travel to see a doctor, recreational activities like cooking and art classes, music. This money should be used to invest in our youth, and for resources for parents.

My name is [Redacted] I am a resident of Delhi. I believe the county should prioritize a large community center for Delhi residents, and a recreational park with bathrooms so that people can come out and use the space together with family and friends. It should be a well lit park. These funds can be allocated as one-time construction expenses or to pay for the purchase of land.

There is a stray animal problem.

I'm strongly against a single cent of this money going towards any types of new correctional facilities. The county should instead invest in public health and community programs that could increase quality of life and reduce crime. Let's not be shortsighted with this once-in-a-lifetime budget blessing.

Children facilities.

HELP to those that have Post Covid Syndrome and are still fighting the virus. The medical expenses are extreme and should be supplemented by the government/county. PLEASE HELP

We need a receiving home for our foster children. We house them at our office, just as fresno county did. We have beds for them, but no showers.

Increase Merced county public safety interoperability.

Funding for Merced County Fire

Yes. Our fire department is in need of funding.

Our local fire station only has one person that responds to emergencies. Please get them proper funding and equipment.

Public safety assistance. Help out local Fire and police departments.

Public Safety

Economic development for community residents. More trade school and/or entry computer training to train the employable for vacant positions in the market.

Substance Use treatment and programs

Water System in Dos Palos. The system needs help and the leaders of that community need help to make it happen. Some serious capacity building needs to take place in DP.

Help young people with their role models so they become productive members of society.

Funding should be allocated to help cover physicals and other basic treatment (i.e., missing vaccinations). This acts as a preventative care mechanism to mitigate COVID-19 mortality and morbidity.

All of the effortsto beautify this city are for not when homeless destroy it and make residents not want to goout in town for fear of being accosted. A gem of Merced County is Bear Creek and it is beingover run by homeless. This is such a unique aspect of Merced that needs to be protected andused by residents not turned into homeless camps that make it so residents can't enjoy it.From the smell of urine, poop and overall bodily stench its no wonder the whole creek hasn'tturned into a cesspool of disease.

The real survey would have saidwhat dint you want.except for water usage reduction for public parks, etc, NO GREENANYTHING, no natural gas county vehicles, etc. Only true remedial service for homelessness,no better facilities to attract them like Modesto has done.mostly we have very few homeless,and quiet ones, let’s keep it that way.

2989 Yes, young adults and teens. Again, we left these children home with no supervision. I havetwo teen boys. Now 17 and 15. My oldest was learning robotics, engaged and happy with hispeer group. Durning his JR high years, he was bullied with limited friends and activities. Thestate took away the one activity where he was happiest. And just for context, the value aprogram like this brought to his life is this- he has tested to enlist in the Navy. He has beenoffered a 24k signing bonus, he'll earn a bachelors degree in engineering in 1.5 years, he willapply to become an officer in 9 months, and once he masters Nuclear Propulsion, a 120kreenlistment bonus. I hope, with all my heart that this child will go off and learn and choose tomake Merced County his home. That in 20 years, he'll be able to bring back those skills andhelp us become a better community, including supporting that infrastructure that we all are soeager to support. I hope that the next year of his life, is filled with wonderful memories and he'llcall this place home, but in reality he can't wait to leave this place and frankly I don't blamehim. My 15 year old is a different story. Covid hit when he was 13, and 13 year old boys havea lot of energy. We took a 13 year old boy, hands on learner, active imagination, and justgetting by...and asked him to sit on a computer ALL DAY, EVERYDAY. I work, dad works...thischild was left unsupervised and expected to teach himself. If you ask me, my son was deniedan equal opportunity to education. We make accommodations for children who have speciallearning needs...we consider it their right to free education. This was taken from him. His

social life was gone, sports gone, he didn't get to participate in his eigth grade graduation, he was told he was a trouble maker, he was told he was a bad seed. His energies were not directed towards his learning, but rather his delinquency. That's our fault. We know this happens when children are left idle. No place have I found to best assert my thoughts, where I have felt heard. Schools and social services that involve young adults and teens need help, or we're asking for a painful future for all of us. I hope this doesn't go unread. [NAME REDACTED]

Community cleanup. Removal Of trash from roadsides, removal of graffiti from buildings and other structures. I remember a time when Merced County and the State of California took pride in the appearance of Interstates, other roadways, canals, and River/stream watersheds. That’s obviously not the case anymore. As a rural resident, I can’t tell you the number of tires, pieces of furniture, and trash that I have picked up and taken to the dump myself just to cleanup my local roads and ranch property.

The roads and water in our community are in dire need of upgrades.

Money should be used for litigation against vaccine mandates . YOUR BODY YOUR CHOICE isn’t that what we have been fighting for since the dawn of time.

Police Firefighters Boys & Girls Clubs

I don't really know any

Help should go to most in need, mental health/behavioral health programs, homeless and affordable housing like tiny home communities

More places to eat and shop. There’s going to be a lot more people living here and using the roads, lakes and rivers. More education and signs!

There needs to be a portion of Funding that needs to go to essential workers. And those who have been impacted by covid-19 who have lost their job, or that don’t get paid sick leave!Grants need to be proposed to merced county people! There needs to be more rent funding especially now that the moratorium has now ended in September 2021. How are families going to pay rent, even though families are still impacted by covid-19 and cannot return to their jobs for many reasons.

County islands within the city should also benefit from these funds.

Funds should be used to address issues past, present, & future. To look towards the future, 16th street should be modernized. It's the first thing you see when you exit the freeway. When I travel to Fresno and return to Merced, I feel as though it's the land that time forgot. It’s the first impression future investors in our town will have of Merced and leaves a lot to be desired. For present issues, our town is growing & is increasingly experiencing big city problems. Everyone has witnessed the exponential growth of crime & homelessness. Support for these issues should be of primary concern. It affects safety in all of our neighborhoods, and is another factor that will determine whether new businesses & bright minds will choose to make Merced their home. As for past, many of our roads are still in bad repair. However, I’ve seen a lot of work done recently, and I have to give a big thumbs-up to the people repairing our roads. What makes Merced most special are its older homes. The architecture of the houses on 21st street are unique & special. I hope Merced never loses that, but funds should be allotted to help homeowners repair older homes. However, investing in the future will provide the greatest return on investment.

Adverse childhood trauma, more services for trafficked victims,

Community service programs for youth to help families with questions about ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with accessing health care, and confronting problems that arise from COVID disrupting family life. Enhanced educational programs for children and youth whose learning was compromised by poor access to remote learning. Consider providing low-income families with tablets for children and youth to use in online learning

Can this money help to replace empty buildings like the old P.G.E building, Sears, In-shape as well ad others?

Foster Care could really use some oversight and a new board to correct the issue that hurt kids

Why do you even have a Bicycling and Pedestrian ActionCommittee (BPAC)??? Did you even ask them? Make it a real community and business hub.Go the way of Main Street in Riverside, CA. Promote REAL outside dining options with largerspaces that are ONLY for the pedestrians, bicyclists and restaurant goers. Why is the only realoutside dining available on Bob-Hart-Square? That's absurd. Every dining option on Mainshould have outside dining. If you feel that you must still have cars on main-street (why do youfeel that way?), then you should at minimum follow the complete streets infrastructure plan asdesigned by Caltrans, with one-way traffic, double-the-space for pedestrians and cyclists, andcompletely consolidate parking OFF of main. You're deluded if you believe that a significantnumber of patrons for downtown businesses are quick-stop, run-in/run-out. Please STOPpretending as if your 100% car-centered downtown infrastructure has somehow made it betterfor businesses and the community. It's absurd, and doesn't follow ANY of the best-practicesfor either complete-streets infrastructure, nor any of the downtown development models forsmall/medium sized communities.

# Question 6 - Spanish Translation1 Hello, my name is [Redacted]. My address is [Redacted], Winton, CA 95388. I have 13 years living

here paying (taxes), and there are no sidewalks and when it rains the water floods the street. I'm hoping you can do something about this. Thank you.

2 Host more support for the kids after school with professional staff, in community halls and at least two different parts of the community

4 We need a park for the community5 We request a park for our kids and a public bathroom and a community hall 6 More important in Delhi to have a park for local families with a fountain (splash pad) in the summers

14 The streets and roads in Merced County are in a bad state15 More support for healthcare costs, for elders and families, basically a low cost health plan21 Quickly finish up the freeway widening between Merced and Atwater26 There need to be filters in the water, in the well. The water is contaminated, this is an urgent,

emergency need. 27 Support for the disabled. 29 More support for elder residents.30 More financial support, support for the economy because we are in a very bad place, economically.

33 Here in Santa Nella we need parks with activities and a walking/jogging trail to walk and exercise, walk, and feel safe.

44 Have free skills centers where people can learn different, such as electronics, mechanics, culinary skills and more.

56 Childcare, space to play sports and children's activities 58 My59 Mental health, activities for youth61 Livingston needs a workforce project for youth because many of our teens are struggling economically,

in fact we need programs to pull our kids out of gangs62 Help with immigration 64 Park and a community center65 The most important issue here is our security and physical protection, largely along the main

thoroughfares in Santa Nella. In reality, we are in imminent risk with so many trucks (rigs) and pedestrians using the roads. Since we don't have stoplights at intersections, crossing the street is dangerous with so many trucks and no street signals for crosswalks, and with trucks blocking the pedestrian right of way. We do not have a medical clinic here for first aid in the event of an accident, and children play in the street since there is no park. We need a community center that offers art classes, English and fitness. We do not have an efficient system for trash recycling because there's no way to separate the trash.

67 I just want to ask that you consider our needs, that we are not forgotten, and that you help us secure what we need. We need various things here in Santa Nella, thank you for taking the time to be here and take our needs into account.

68 Mental health support, activities for youth. 69 Help with food and rent for those that need it most.

of 216

# Question 7 - Spanish Translation1 The streets in front of/leading to the schools are in poor shape. 3 That there be better lighting of streets. That the police department be more active and visible to help the

community. 4 For the kids, it's important to have a meeting hall for family events.

14 More support for students and youth. 15 More community safety and less abuse and racial discrimination 16 More public transportation options20 More street lighting 22 We have a park but we need a space to walk (walk path) because there isn't one along Walnut Street,

behind the complex. 27 Help for undocumented immigrants because they do not receive financial help28 Financial help for the elderly and disabled30 The roads in Delhi are very old, and they do not fix them though they do charge us taxes. We are a

forgotten community. 34 Help individuals that have substance abuse issues, provide them with medicine and housing. 36 The worst problem is the lack of rent control 37 Relief from constant rent increases that come multiple times per year, but we are forced to pay because

we have no other place to go 41 We need the state to work with the County around healthcare reform for those of us that are hardworking -

we have high deductible costs and visits to the doctor are very high.51 Better jobs.60 Street lighting because the streets are very dark at night. 76 Park and community center.78 A place for childcare.79 Better security and community safety to combat youth delinquency. We cannot go to work without

worrying that someone will break into our homes and harm our kids. 80 A park with a gymnasium so that youth can exercise/do sports, instead of on the streets.81 Youth activities. 82 Poor (indigent) residents 85 Improve the schools 86 Si deveriamos tender un estadio donde SE genere economia para Livingston CA tomemos El ejemplo de

Ripon CA con su grandioso Parke k CADA temporada genera miles d dollars en deported juveniles .

87 Repair of potholes88 Mental health, free youth activities, sports, music, etc. 90 Support for small businesses and attract larger stores so that we do not have to travel to Modesto or

Fresno to shop. 91 More security day and night 92 Support those with mental health issues, including rehabilitation centers and homes for youth struggling

with drug addiction; these youth ultimately become part of our homless problem.93 More youth programs like Aspirinet, Tip, We Can, Nami and mental health 94 Support for medical care for the undocumented in Planada 95 We have problems with the water. The City shuts off service when the pump goes down or there's too

much algae. We need funds to improve our water system.96 Public safety.97 Support for youth programs, something that is free, activities so that they do not belong to gangs, or to

address the anxiety brought on by COVID, and more mental health support. 98 More places (homes) for those living in the streets. Noo human being should live on the street.

101 Place sidewalks and pavement in some of the street in Atwater (where there is none), especially on Fir Avenue.
