In this second segment of our interview with Supervisor Zach Friend, we asked Zach to speak about his accomplishments during his first term as 2nd District County Supervisor.  Zach touched on a number of achievements, including working to refund the public safety element of the county budget, re-establishing the Santa Cruz County Parks department as its own department, independent of Public Works, and infrastructure improvements such as Citizen Connect, the county’s new mobile app. When it comes to public safety, he points out that the Sheriff’s department is once again fully staffed for the first time since 2008. Not only is the Parks Department on its own again, we also opened the first new park in Aptos in a generation, and are set to break ground on new permanent restrooms and concession stand at the Polo Fields Park in a few months.

There’s lots more to this segment of the interview, watch it below.
