Board Chair Nora Vargas will lay out her vision of how to tackle some of the county’s most pressing problems, including housing and homelessness.
“And not just in certain neighborhoods or on transit corridors, but in the county – how are we going to do that?" he said."And how are we also going to think about tenant protections? I think that's another one that's really important here.”
Vargas is also expected to discuss food insecurity, mental health care, and public safety. Last month, in an informal meeting with reporters after she was elected board chair, Vargas said she would work to make resources available to communities who are on the front lines during the pandemic. "It's going to be really important for us to do that and to make sure that we do everything that we can to close the gap of, particularly, the health care inequities that were exacerbated by the pandemic," Vargas said during that meeting.
She is also expected to talk more about the efforts to improve the local economy and workforce, transportation and infrastructure, plus a wide range of climate change goals."We are going to be looking at some of job creation and workforce development, especially around ... green technology and green energy. What does that look like for us as we're moving forward," Vargas said.
