Masks mandate

County reinstates indoor requirement, effective Friday By MADISON HIRNEISEN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

After a surge in the region’s COVID-19 cases, the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department released a new health officer order on Wednesday, which includes a new indoor mask mandate that will go into effect Friday at 5 p.m. The order will require that all people, regardless of vaccination status, mask up in all indoor public settings. This includes inside offices, retail stores, restaurants, bars, theaters, entertainment centers, conference and event settings and in state and local government offices serving the public. There are very limited exceptions to the order that allow people to go unmasked indoors, and these include when working alone in a closed office or room, when actively eating and drinking, while obtaining a medical or cosmetic treatment where mask removal is required, when unmasking is needed to complete an indoor religious ritual and

when engaged in water sports. The order also specifies that performers and professional athletes may remove face coverings while performing or practicing. And a mask could be temporarily removed or lowered in communications involving a hearing-impared person reading lips. The decision to reinstate a mandate comes after weeks of climbing case rates were recorded across the county, largely propelled by the highly transmissible Delta variant. With new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealing that fully vaccinated people who experience a breakthrough infection can spread the variant, the Public Health Department decided to reinstitute a mask mandate to slow the surge. “Requiring indoor masking is the least disruptive strategy and can make an immediate impact on limiting the spread of COVID-19, specifically the Delta variant,” Public Health Officer Dr. Henning Please see MASKS on A4

Litigation anticipated against Ty Warner and Four Seasons Attorney representing Biltmore employees ready to file lawsuits

By ANNELISE HANSHAW NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

Four Seasons and Ty Warner, owner of Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara, may soon be facing lawsuits from hundreds of former employees seeking severance pay. Anticouni & Ricotta, a law firm specializing in employment law, alleges Four Seasons and Ty Warner owe more than $6.5 million in severance and around $2.6 million in vacation pay. The firm also accuses the employers of negligent infliction of severe emotional distress. The firm represents more than 300 individual employees, and Bruce N. Anticouni, the firm’s founder, expects many more to join soon. The attorneys attended mediation sessions on April 30 and July 10, both lasting a few hours, hoping for an agreement. Four Seasons and Mr. Warner did not make a settlement offer during the first session. Mr. Warner offered 10% of employees’ severance. Four Seasons did not make an

offer but stated that if employees accepted the 10% offer, they forfeit their employment seniority with the company. The 10% offer was sent to employees Tuesday, and rejections started to come in within a day, Mr. Anticouni told the News-Press. He believes the law entitles the former employees he represents, from servers to managers, to full severance and vacation as a legal termination of employment. The resort maintains that employees were furloughed. Employees left March 20, 2020, with promises the hotel would reopen when safe. San Ysidro Ranch, another one of Mr. Warner’s properties, never closed. The company canceled employees’ health insurance in June 2020 while still stating that the employees were on a furlough, alleges Mr. Anticouni. Mr. Anticouni plans to bring litigation both to Santa Barbara County Superior Court and a federal court. He said the company’s actions violate the Please see BILTMORE on A4

Large audience watches La Fiesta Pequeña from a distance By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR

Officially, La Fiesta Pequeña was closed to the public at large. But nothing on Wednesday night kept a large audience from showing up anyway. Not COVID-19 precautions. Not the lack of parking next to the Santa Barbara Mission. Not the fencing put around the lawn just in front of the mission. Not even the big trucks parked to block the view.

People found they could still easily see the dancers and musicians, as they sat on lounge chairs and blankets and brought their kids and pets to see the kickoff to Santa Barbara’s longtime and unique celebration. “Viva la Fiesta!” La Presidenta Stephanie Petlow said on stage as Old Spanish Days filmed the many performers. Parking may have been the biggest challenge for the audience, who found the mission parking lot closed. But spectators were willing to walk far from nearby neighborhoods and places like the parking lot at Rocky Nook Park

A good number, in fact, stood along a fence, just to the right of the mission stage. The big trucks didn’t block that part of the view. There were few masks in sight, but people seemed to be socially distanced. There was more than six feet between various groups, as the News-Press determined by driving around the area.

It wasn’t the biggest crowd ever for the Fiesta, but it certainly was a large one and likely a bigger one than public health officials would have liked. One spectator told the NewsPress she felt safe despite the surge of the Delta variant, which prompted concern by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and a last-minute Old Spanish Days decision to close Wednesday night’s show. “I feel like this is the one spot where you can actually control your bubble and make sure you’re not exposed to other people, as opposed to De la Guerra Plaza, where you don’t know who’s going to walk by you, who is not masked, who is not vaccinated,” local resident Brittany Jones told the News-Press. “At the mission, you have control of your bubble,” said Ms. Jones, who noted she’s vaccinated. She and other audience members saw enthusiastic performances by singers, dancers and two dancers in particular who twirled and stepped with a lot of spirit because, after all, they were the Spirit and Junior Spirit — Ysabella Yturralde and Savannah Hoover respectively.

The Olympic Committee is considering factors outside its control, as COVID-19 and weather takes a toll on competition. Greece’s artistic swimming team withdrew its presence from the games and moved out of the Olympic Village after five teammates tested positive for COVID-19. Tokyo recorded its highest daily case count Wednesday since the start of the pandemic with 4,166 new COVID-19 cases. CNN reports at least 327 cases have been linked to the Olympics. Wednesday was the hottest day of the competition, with temperatures reaching 94 degrees Fahrenheit. Hoping to avoid the highest heat, competitors in marathon events will be running in Sapporo, about 500 miles from Tokyo, this weekend.

SB woman arrested for hit and run SANTA BARBARA — A woman was arrested after allegedly striking a juvenile with her car and fleeing the scene. Santa Barbara Police officers responded to multiple reports of a hit-and-run collision around 1 p.m. Monday in the area of Oceano Avenue and Del Sol Avenue. A juvenile was riding a bicycle with three friends before being struck by a vehicle. The victim was not seriously injured. Vehicle parts remained at the scene, which along with a description of the suspect vehicle and plate, aided officers in identifying a suspect. When one traffic officer responded to the collision, the officer saw a vehicle matching the description and stopped the driver in the area of West Montecito Street and Castillo Street. Police identified the suspect as Jessica Medoza, 34, of Santa Barbara. Investigators allege she failed to stay on scene, did not exchange information and did not render aid to the injured child. Ms. Mendoza is held in the Santa Barbara County Jail with the following charges: hit and run with injury (felony), driving on a suspended license (misdemeanor), driving without an alcohol interlock device (misdemeanor), no proof of insurance (infraction). Her vehicle was impounded, and bail is $50,000.

Traffic stop leads to narcotics charges SANTA BARBARA — A Santa Barbara Police Department traffic officer stopped a driver for not wearing a seatbelt and found over four pounds of illegal narcotics Monday evening. The incident started as a simple traffic stop until the driver, Michael J. Diaz, 28, of Buellton, told the officer he did not have a valid license. The officer asked for the passenger’s license so that the passenger could drive, and police wouldn’t have to tow the car. Passenger Angelica Sancha Hernandez, 25, of Santa Barbara had a warrant for her arrest. Mr. Diaz had three active warrants and was on parole. Both were arrested at the scene. When officers searched the vehicle, they found large amounts of methamphetamine, fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, suboxone, clonazepam and oxycodone. They also located a loaded 9mm handgun and a replica firearm. Officers impounded the vehicle. While booking Mr. Diaz at the Santa Barbara County Jail, deputies allegedly found narcotics hidden on him. He is facing the following charges: felon in possession of a handgun (felony), possession of a controlled substance for sales (felony), transportation of a controlled substance (felony), possession of methamphetamine for sales (felony), transportation of methamphetamine (felony), possession of a high-capacity magazine (misdemeanor), felon in possession of ammunition (misdemeanor), use/manufacture of a false compartment concealing illegal narcotics (misdemeanor) and entering a government facility with contraband (felony).

COVID cases rise 55% in SB County MASKS

of 6.8%, according to the latest data from the Public Health Department. According to these metrics, this “would have placed Santa Barbara County in the Purple Tier if the tier system were still active,” Dr. Do-Reynoso said in a statement. Dr. David Fisk, an infectious disease specialist with Cottage Health and Sansum Clinic, praised the Public Health Department’s decision to reinstate a mask mandate following the release of the Health Officer Order on Wednesday, saying that he “fully welcomes” the measure as an added layer of protection for the community. “I think (the mandate) is an important step and something that can be done on a wide scale effectively without significant risk to the wearer of the mask,” Dr. Fisk told the News-Press. “It makes our community a much safer place in the coming weeks

Continued from Page A1 Ansorg said in a statement. “This Health Officer Order is intended to protect everyone to the greatest extent possible, from the substantial spread of the virus being seen now in our community. In addition, the order is intended to support the continued operations of local businesses, activities and schools.” In the past two weeks, the county’s cases have increased 55%, according to the text of the health officer order. This is accompanied by increased hospitalizations and a “concerning increase” in cases among staff and residents in congregate living facilities, Public Health Director Dr. Van DoReynoso said in a statement. The climbing rate of infections has resulted in a case rate of 12.4 per 100,000 and a test positivity

where we are going to be so extraordinarily challenged by the delta variant.” Dr. Fisk said masking is “second in importance” to getting fully vaccinated. But he noted that given the transmissibility of the Delta variant, masking indoors will help to stunt the spread of airborne particles that could infect another person with COVID-19. Though the vaccines widely available in the United States effectively protect against severe infection and death from COVID-19, new data is showing that the vaccines do not fully protect against transmission. Recent CDC data revealed that fully vaccinated individuals who experience a breakthrough infection carry similar viral loads similar to those experienced by the unvaccinated. Based on this new science, a mask mandate for all is needed to slow the spread of the Delta

variant in the region, Dr. Fisk said. “When vaccinated people have the ability to transmit (the virus) and just under half of the people (in the county) are unvaccinated, we can protect ourselves and our neighbors and our colleagues and loved ones by the simple act of putting a mask over our nose and mouth,” Dr. Fisk said. He later added, “The studies consistently are showing that if you have an unvaccinated or vaccinated group of people, the masking adds additional benefit above and beyond, but the vaccine is the primary method we have as the best return on investment for reduction in COVID transmission. So, I place the masking second, but it still is very very important and can reduce COVID transmission in communities 2030% at times, sometimes more depending on the study.”

federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The WARN Act considers a layoff a termination of employment after six months. Businesses can extend the time frame beyond six months if unforeseen business circumstances arise and if the company gives proper notification to employees. The former employees of Four Seasons and Mr. Warner have been furloughed for 17 months. Mr. Warner will be named a “joint employer” in the lawsuit because he holds responsibility for paying wages. Mr. Anticouni expects to file the lawsuit(s) at the end of August or

Attorney Bruce N. Anticouni said he is prepared to represent each employee separately in arbitration if he can’t file a class-action lawsuit. beginning of September. He is currently waiting for employees to respond to the offer of 10% severance and then will prepare the case(s). He told the News-Press Wednesday he is prepared to represent each employee separately in arbitration if he can’t file a class-action lawsuit. Anticouni & Ricotta addressed clients’ emotional distress in a press release. Some former employees lost their homes, and others had to stop taking medications after losing health insurance, the press release says. “It is hard to understand how

indifferent Four Seasons and Mr. Warner have been regarding the plight of their former employees,” Mr. Anticounti said in the release. “They told them it would recall them to work when it was safe to do so. They enjoyed high wages and great benefits. Most of the employees relied on that promise and waited to be recalled. They are still waiting. We believe a Santa Barbara jury will hold Four Seasons and Mr. Warner to a higher standard than the way they have treated their employees.” Four Seasons Hotel Boston faced a similar circumstance last summer after laying off nearly 200

employees in May 2020 and paying them a portion of their severance. Employees protested, gathering extensive press from Boston media organizations. The hotel reversed its decision in mid-June, and Four Seasons’s CEO issued an apology. Former employees of the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara demonstrated in early August. The resort is currently closed without a scheduled reopening date. It previously publicized that it was upgrading rooms and performing deferred maintenance, planning to reopen early to mid2021. Neither the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara nor Mr. Warner responded to the News-Press’ request for comment. email: ahanshaw@newspress.com

Sculptures in the garden

PICKS OF THE WEEK

Organic prity melon

PHOTOS COURTESY CASA DEL HERRERO

Robert J. Emmons explores the human form in his sculpture, “Newly Arrived.”

Here’s a detail of the flowers created by Lynda Weinman in her sculpture, “The Ceramics Garden.” She collaborated on the work with fellow artist Joan Rosenberg-Dent, and it appears as part of “Symbiotic — Seven Contemporary Sculptors at Historic Casa del Herrero.”

My kids refer to this variety as the “sour patch kid melon” due to the combination of sweet and sour notes that remind them of this candy. This melon is most comparable to that of a honey dew melon, yet with underlying notes of lemony flavor. The pale green to white flesh is dense and is both soft yet has a semi-crisp consistency. This time of year, I love to combine the tanginess of this melon with sweet figs in a salad. Grown, harvested and sold by Jacob Grant of Roots Farm, the melons are available at the weekly Saturday Santa Barbara, Tuesday Santa Barbara and Wednesday Solvang Farmers’ markets. Price averages about $5 each.

‘Symbiotic’ exhibit mixes contemporary and historic By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

In Victoria Hendler’s series “FEMME,” abstract sculptures deconstruct the female form. Two sculptures from this series are on view at Casa del Herrero.

For the first time in its history, Casa del Herrero is holding a sculpture exhibition with artwork placed throughout the estate’s historic garden spaces. “Symbiotic – Seven Contemporary Sculptors at Historic Casa del Herrero” is on view through Nov. 24 at the Montecito site. Participating artists include Isaac Anguiano, Béla Bácsi, Robert J. Emmons, Pattie Porter Firestone, Victoria Hendler, Joan Rosenberg-Dent and Lynda Weinman. “It is really quite compelling to view contemporary works of art against the backdrop of the historic estate,” said Karen Jones Clark, Casa board president. “The Casa’s beautiful gardens have become outdoor museum spaces in which to contemplate the fascinating sculptures in the exhibition. The gardens are beautiful, natural works of art, which are now complemented by the figural, natural and abstract forms of the sculptures. “The collection of artwork (encompassing a variety of mediums) seamlessly integrates with the uniqueness of the estate. In fact, there is an undeniable connection between the two,” Ms. Clark continued. “ ‘Symbiotic’ looks at the interconnection between two seemingly disparate concepts (contemporary and historic) while examining each artist’s relationship to the natural world.” Mr. Anguiano is a welder and artist who is inspired by the organic world. His process includes implementing natural forms in metal. His sculpture in the exhibit, “Flor Del Sol,” reminds viewers Please see SCULPTURES on B2

Thomcord grapes By the name, you can likely discern that this variety of grape is a hybrid. Combining the traits of the green seedless Thompson and the popular grapes used for grape juice, the concord grape, these specimens possess a deep purple color and a dynamic flavor. They are an excellent general eating grape and a nice addition to a charcuterie platter. Currently available from several growers, they can be found at most weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets. Price averages $3.50 per pound.

Isaac Anguiano finds inspiration from the natural world in his sculpture, “Flor Del Sol.”

Serrano chilies What’s hotter than a jalapeño, but doesn’t deliver the intense fire of a habanero? Yes, it’s a serrano pepper, ideal for an array of fresh salsas. Enjoyed both raw and cooked, cooked serrano chilies take on a smokey, earthy flavor. This week I incorporated serrano chilies in a pico de gallo salsa as well as a salsa verde. You can currently find elongated serrano chilies at all weekly Santa Barbara certified farmers’ markets from several local farmers. Price averages about 3 for $1.

FYI

Béla Bácsi became interested in stone carving at an early age, continuing his family’s long tradition of working in this medium. His work, “Oracle,” is on view at Casa del Herrero.

“Symbiotic — Seven Contemporary Sculptors at Historic Casa del Herrero” is on view through Nov. 24 at Casa del Herrero, 1387 East Valley Road in Montecito. The exhibition is part of the docent-led guided tour. Tours are available at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tickets cost $25, and reservations can be made by calling 805-5655653. For more information, go to www.casadelherrero.com.

Pattie Porter Firestone’s sculpture, “Leaves of Grass,” depicts unseen energy from below the surface of the earth pushing six red blades of grass out of the ground. It’s on view at Casa del Herrero.

Fix of the week: Prity Melon Salad By SAM EDELMAN SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the vast world of melons this year. This expansive family, cucurbitaceae, includes the likes of cucumbers, squashes and even luffa, used to make a natural sponge. From the more common watermelon and honeydew to the ananas and galia melons, my house has been permeating with the sweet aroma of freshly harvested melons for the past month, and my plates are brimming with this wonderful seasonal offering. A couple of weeks ago I encountered these beautiful prity melons from Jacob Grant of Roots Farm. This variety delivers a very unique sweet and sour flavor combination, with notes of sweet honeydew melon and tangy notes of lemon. With a firmer texture then most, they hold up very well in fruit salads. This variety is excellent when paired with seafood preparations, particularly the wild

salmon that has been readily available. This week I incorporated some serrano chilies, fresh cilantro, and chickpeas in a simple prity melon salad. This can be enjoyed on its own as a complete meal or as a small side salad, pairing well with chicken, fish, and pork preparations.

Prity Melon Salad 1 prity melon, rind and seeds discarded, cut into bite-sized pieces 1 serrano chili, sliced very thin 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped 1/4 cup, red onion, sliced thin 2 cups cooked garbanzo beans 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Toss all ingredients together in a mixing bowl and gently toss. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator first if desired. Yield: Makes 8 servings.

that ‘mother nature can create something small, beautiful and fragile that has the potential for a bigger impact on us all.” Mr. Bacsi, who was born in Hungary, became interested in stone carving at an early age. His marble and bronze sculptures are exhibited coast to coast and are held in significant collections throughout the world. Often referred to as a Renaissance Man, Mr. Emmons has been a corporate CEO, international consultant, university professor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and author of 10 books including six books of poetry. In his sculptures, he explores all aspects of the human form and celebrates its beauty and diversity. Ms. Firestone is a sculptor, teacher, designer and arts activist. Her sculptures “portray visible and invisible patterns of energy in the natural world.” On view at the Casa, “Leaves of Grass,” depicts unseen energy from below the surface of the earth, pushing six red blades of grass six to nine feet out of the ground. In her work, Ms. Hendler explores what lies

within after everything has been stripped away, when all is bared to its essence. “FEMME” is a series of abstract sculptures that deconstruct the female form. Two pieces from this series are on view at Casa del Herrero. Ms. Dent is a sculptor working mainly in porcelain and mixed media. Her artwork is presented as abstract sculpture with a minimal approach. The gardens at Casa del Herrero inspired her works for the exhibition, with the forms of nature, architecture and the spaces they contain at the Casa informing the pieces. Ms. Weinman’s ceramics artwork is driven by curiosity, and she is constantly challenging herself to learn new techniques and explore new ideas. She is fascinated by machine-made objects that can be made to look more organic and random. When visitors come to Casa del Herrero, or the “House of the Blacksmith,” they are transported back to Montecito in the 1920s and 1930s — the heyday of the original owners, Carrie and George Fox Steedman. Designed by famed architect George Washington Smith, the Casa is one of the finest examples of Spanish Revival architecture in America. It is included on the National Register of Historic Places and maintains National Historic Landmark

status in part due to its eclectic mix of Country Place Era and Moorish-inspired gardens created by Ralph Stevens, Lockwood de Forest and Francis T. Underhill. Today, the 11-acre estate at 1387 East Valley Road functions as a nonprofit with the goal of preserving the house and grounds as well as the Steedman family’s collection of 15th and 16th-century fine and decorative art objects from the “Golden Age” of Spain, books, sketchbooks, drawings and horticultural records. “While historic, the Casa remains alive with the creative legacy of the original owners,” said Jessica Tade, executive director. “Through this exhibition, we are collaborating with local artists while also continuing to make good on our desire to support the continued vibrancy of the arts in our community. “Additionally, the Casa just completed its first-ever youth summer arts program, and it was really exciting to see the participants engage with the sculpture show. The pieces served as further inspiration for the participants as they learned about different art mediums and techniques in the creation of their own art projects.”

Diversions

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Try not to weigh everything down. Don’t pick things apart to the point that all that’s left are the tiny details of the situation, Aries. Deal with it as a whole. Mental and emotional issues are apt to be of greater concern to you. You shouldn’t try to dissect them. That will only create more issues than you started with. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As you work to keep things in balance today, Taurus, remember that one of the key things is to have fun. Happiness is an extremely important element of the cosmic equation, especially on a day like this. The more upbeat you can be regarding a certain situation, the easier it will be to tackle it. A smile can get you through just about any door you wish to enter. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t get too emotional about a situation today, Gemini. You could feel a sinking feeling, but if you go that route you may end up in a pit of emotional quicksand that’s hard to escape. Make sure you have a friend to talk to so you’re prepared for whatever you might encounter on your emotional journey. CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is a terrific day for you, Cancer. You should easily feel its power coming together in an upbeat, positive way. Others are apt to fall into place by your side as they realize the wisdom in your way of doing things. Remain confident and positive. Your adventurous spirit is ready, so push away from the dock. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your normal steady pace usually wins the race, Leo, but today you might need to take some shortcuts. Jump on opportunities that seem to come out of nowhere, but don’t feel like you need to commit to anything now. Take your chances and see where luck takes you. There’s an adventurous spirit in the air urging you to take an unexpected gamble. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t deny your emotions today, Virgo. They will be of great use to you. There’s an intensity about your feelings that’s helping you stay strong in just about every situation. Opportunities lie within groups of people. Shared enthusiasm for a task makes the job go more quickly. Join others in

the pursuit of prosperity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Indecisiveness may plague you today, Libra. Be careful that you don’t avoid doing something simply because you don’t know which way to go. To cure your restlessness, you should think about going on a short trip. Travel will most certainly help alleviate any worries about a certain situation. The answer you seek will come more easily. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take things to the limit today, Scorpio, and then go beyond. This is one of those days in which people may go to extremes, especially emotionally. You have the right to push the boundaries and see how far you can go. There’s no need to delay. If you’re going to do something, do it now. There’s an intense surge of power that should be there to help you along your way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stop your pondering over something and do it, Sagittarius. This is a day to be spontaneous and adventurous. Although this may feel a bit foreign and against your usual grounded nature, it would be a good idea to take this time to do something on a whim and see where it takes you. Don’t be afraid of the unknown. The future is an exciting concept because it’s unknown. Embrace it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This may be a climactic day for you, Capricorn, especially when it comes to your emotions. You could find that people try to wield some sort of power over you. Maybe they’re trying to throw their weight around to get you to do something. Don’t be manipulated. Stand up for yourself and be strong. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Instead of turning all your burning questions inward today, Aquarius, you might want to consider broadcasting them outward. Engage in discussions and extend your queries to the group. You may usually try to solve all the world’s problems on your own, but once in a while, you should stop and consider other points of view. PISCES (Feb.19-March 20): There’s a great wind under your wings today, Pisces, and you may find the day’s energy quite transforming. You now have the opportunity to make great strides in whatever you wish to accomplish.

CODEWORD PUZZLE

SUDOKU

Thought for Today

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

The development requested by this application is subject to appeal to the California Coastal Commission following ﬁnal action by Santa Barbara County and therefore a public hearing on the application is normally required prior to any action to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application. However, in compliance with California Coastal Act Section 30624.9, the Director has determined that this project qualiﬁes as minor development and therefore intends to waive the public hearing requirement unless a written request for such hearing is submitted by an interested party to the Planning and Development Department within the 15 working days following the Date of Notice listed below. All requests for a hearing must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, to Sean Stewart at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 93101-2058, by email at sestewart@co.santa-barbara.ca.us, or by fax at (805) 568-2030. If a public hearing is requested, notice of such a hearing will be provided. WARNING: Failure by a person to request a public hearing may result in the loss of the person’s ability to appeal any action taken by Santa Barbara County on this Coastal Development Permit to the County Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors and ultimately the California Coastal Commission. If a request for public hearing is not received by 5:00 p.m. on the Request for Hearing Expiration Date listed below, then the Planning and Development Department will act to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the request for a Coastal Development Permit. At this time it is not known when this action may occur; however, this may be the only notice you receive for this project. To receive additional information regarding this project, including the date the Coastal Development Permit is approved, and/or to view the application and plans, or to provide comments on the project, please contact Sean Stewart at Planning and Development, 123 E. Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara 931012058, or by email at sestewart@co.santa-barbara.ca.us, or by phone at (805) 568-2517.

PROPOSAL: THE NATURE CONSERVANCY CULVERT REPLACEMENT PROJECT ADDRESS: Jalama Rd, CA 3rd SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE COASTAL ZONE DATE OF NOTICE: 8/3/2021 REQUEST FOR HEARING EXPIRATION DATE: 8/24/2021 PERMIT NUMBER: 21CDH-00000-00001 APPLICATION FILED: 1/8/2021 ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NO.: 083-600-015 ZONING: AG-II-320 PROJECT AREA: 94.38 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: • Applicant: Nature Conservancy • Proposed Project: The project is for a Coastal Development Permit to allow replacement of a failed culvert that directs runoff under Cojo Bay Road on the Dangermond Preserve. The project would include the construction of a gabion basket headwall at the outfall of the culvert to restore the eroded slope and be covered with compacted fill to support revegetation. A temporary access road would be constructed to gain access to the culvert outfall and drainage area. Temporary habitat impacts would include 0.042-acres of ground disturbance to be restored with native plantings as reflected in the project’s Revegetation Plan prepared by Padre Associates, Inc. Grading quantities include 30 cubic yard of cut (temporary access road), 370 cubic yard of import and 400 cubic yards of fill (stabilization of the culvert outfall area), and 80 cubic yards of excavation and re-compaction (culvert replacement). No trees are proposed for removal. The parcel will be served by the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. Access will continue to be provided via Jalama Road. The property is a 94.38-acre parcel zoned AG-II-320 and shown as Assessor’s Parcel Number 083-600015, located within the Dangermond Preserve in the Gaviota Coast Plan Area, 3rd Supervisorial District.

Persons who contest the legality or validity of the matter will not be subject to punitive action, such as wage garnishment or seizure of their real or personal property. Unless you respond timely, a default will be entered upon application by Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs may apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the Complaint. You may seek the advice of an attorney in any matter connected with the complaint or this summons. Such attorney should be consulted promptly so that your pleading may be filed or entered within the time required by this summons. DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFFS SEEK TO INVALIDATE: Plaintiffs/Petitioners have filed their First Amended Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Complaint (“Complaint”), which seeks, among other things, a judicial decree, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure section 860, et seq., determining that the following actions taken by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”), the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors (“Board of Supervisors”), acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District (“Board of Directors”), and the Board of Directors of the District are invalid and unenforceable. On April 20, 2021, the Board of Supervisors, acting as the District’s Board of Directors, adopted Resolution No. 21-73: A Resolution to Approve Water Management Tools Amendment (Amendment 21) to State Water Project Water Supply Contract Subject to Certain Limitations to Maintain Local Water Supply (“Resolution No. 21-73”), which imposes significant conditions, limitations and restrictions on Plaintiffs’/Petitioners’ rights to the State Water Project (“SWP”) pursuant to the 1963 State Water Supply Contract (“SWP Contract”) between the District and the State of California’s Department of Water Resources (“DWR”). Resolution No. 21-73 declares that the District, in some cases, and the Board of Directors, in other cases, may unilaterally condition or reject certain transfers and exchanges of SWP water that otherwise would be permitted by the SWP Contract, as amended by the Water Management Amendment, by conditioning or withholding the District’s execution of any agreements required to implement such transfers and exchanges, notwithstanding Petitioners’/Plaintiffs’ approval of, and agreement to be bound by, any such transfer or exchange. Petitioners/Plaintiffs are the Central Coast Water Authority (“CCWA”), a joint powers agency, and its eight public agency members: the Carpinteria Valley Water District, City of Buellton, City of Guadalupe, City of Santa Barbara, City of Santa Maria, Goleta Water District, Montecito Water District, and Santa Ynez River Water Conservation District, Improvement District No. 1, all of whom provide retail water supply service to customers (ratepayers) within Santa Barbara County. Pursuant to a series of agreements in the 1980s and early 1990s, the District transferred all of its rights and obligations to the SWP Contract to Plaintiffs/Petitioners. Among other things, CCWA administers the SWP Contract and delivers SWP water to its members and other parties who have contracted with CCWA for the delivery of SWP water (collectively, “CCWA Participants”). But because the District remains the party to the SWP Contract, whenever DWR requires the District’s execution of an agreement, such as amendment of the SWP Contract or an agreement for the transfer or exchange of SWP water (“DWR Agreement”), CCWA must obtain the District’s execution of such agreement. The District’s adoption of Resolution No. 21-73 damaged CCWA and the CCWA Participants by disrupting their existing plans and future planning for the implementation of the Water Management Amendment, including but not limited to any proposed transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the Water Management Amendment, which such CCWA Participants had or do determine is in the best interest of their customers (the ratepayers), if applicable. Future damages will accrue as CCWA Participants are deprived of the benefits of the Water Management Amendment as a result of the direct and proximate cause of the conditions, restrictions and limitations imposed by Resolution No. 21-73. The CCWA Participants’ damages include, but are not limited to, increased administrative costs, lost sales of surplus water supplies, higher costs to manage water supplies, and increased costs of water service. Resolution No. 21-73 is invalid and should be declared unenforceable for the following reasons: 1.

The District has no right or authority to impose conditions on, much less withhold its approval of, any DWR Agreement for which CCWA has approved and agreed to be bound, including but not limited to the Water Management Amendment or any other amendment to the SWP Contract.

Resolution No. 21-73 violates CCWA’s rights under the Transfer of Financial Responsibility Agreement and each and all of the 19 Water Supply Retention Agreements, which rights were assigned to CCWA, because the District has no right to impose conditions on amendments to the SWP Contract or CCWA’s transfer or exchange of SWP water pursuant to the SWP Contract.

In enacting Resolution No. 21-73, the District acted in excess of statutory authority under the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act (State Statutes of 1955, Ch. 1057), which prohibits the District from affecting, in any way, the water management authority and obligations of public water suppliers within Santa Barbara County, including CCWA and its members.

Resolution No. 21-73 will deprive the CCWA Participants of their ability to maximize beneﬁcial use of their SWP water supplies and will result in a waste of water and therefore violates Article X, Section 2 of the California Constitution.

APPEALS: The decision of the Director of the Planning and Development Department to approve, conditionally approve, or deny this Coastal Development Permit 21CDH-00000-00001 may be appealed to the County Planning Commission by the applicant or an aggrieved person. The written appeal must be filed within the 10 calendar days following the date that the Director takes action on this Coastal Development Permit. To qualify as an “aggrieved person” the appellant must have, in person or through a representative, informed the Planning and Development Department by appropriate means prior to the decision on the Coastal Development Permit of the nature of their concerns, or, for good cause, was unable to do so. Written appeals must be filed with the Planning and Development Department at either 123 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara, 93101, or 624 West Foster Road, Suite C, Santa Maria, 93455, by 5:00 p.m. within the timeframe identified above. In the event that the last day for filing an appeal falls on a non-business day of the County, the appeal may be timely filed on the next business day.
