News and notes from County Supervisor Dianne Jacob

New year, new ideas. It was my great honor to recently deliver the 2017 State of the County address.

Our county government is strong, and we will continue to make public safety our top priority, but we also have a lot of work ahead of us. In my speech, I announced seven initiatives that I’d like the county and region to pursue this year:

Let’s be street wise

Ramp up funding to improve county roads within five years.

Green light for green projects

Create a sustainable endowment fund to support parks.

Confronting the pension challenge

Pursue changes in employee benefits to ensure fiscal health.

Prepare for the silver surge

Hire a ‘senior czarto steer improvements in senior services.

Theres an app for that

Graffiti? Potholes? Gas price gouging? Try the county’s new Tell Us Now! app.

Stay battle ready

Tools and tactics to fight crime, wildfire and sex slavery.

Building a bond

Work with schools to improve community and cop relations. We will continue to do all we can to keep our communities safe, remain fiscally sound and maintain a county government that serves the people and does them proud.

East Countys finest

Presenting county proclamations to those who have distinguished themselves is one of the best parts of my job.

In recent weeks, I’ve had the privilege of honoring folks like Richard Nasif, El Cajons Citizen of the Year. He has done so much for the community—as a police officer, a coach and a downtown leader.

Other recent honorees include star golfer Breann Horn, a student at El Capitan High, andPolly Schoonover, a volunteer at Edgemoor skilled nursing facility in Santee.
