State Says Sutter County Birth Records Part of Possible Security Breach
|
| May 07, 2013 |
 Parents of individuals born in Sutter County from May through September of 1974 are advised to monitor their credit reports as the result of a possible security breach involving birth records, according to the California Department of Public Health.
State officials notified Sutter County yesterday that a reel of microfiche containing names, addresses, Social Security numbers and some medical information was found in an unsecure location. The records—2,000 in all, according to the Department of Public Health—were for people born from May through September of 1974 in Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Sutter and Tehama counties.
Social Security numbers of parents were included on birth records in California from 1973 through 1977, according to Sutter County Clerk-Recorder Donna Johnston.
Not every birth record from Sutter County from May through September of 1974 was on the reel. A spokesman for the California Department of Public Health said that the reel contained the records of just 124 Sutter County births.
Johnston noted most births to parents living in Yuba and Sutter counties since the 1950s have occurred at Fremont Hospital in Yuba City, in Sutter County.
Because the matter involves a state agency, the California Highway Patrol is investigating the security breach. Specific information about how and where the reel was found was not released.
People whose records may have been on the reel and who have questions can call 855-737-1796 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or email 1974birth@cdph.ca.gov.
The health department recommends those who believe their information could have been compromised place a fraud alert on their accounts with the three major credit reporting agencies, get copies of their credit reports and take other steps to monitor for identity theft.
To obtain a free credit report, customers may go to www.annualcreditreport.com to complete a request form and mail to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. The toll free number for this service is (877) 322-8228. |

|
| May 02, 2013 |
John Forberg, Sutter County’s Director of the Department of Information Technology for seven years, is leaving County service in pursuit of other opportunities, County Administrative Officer James Arkens announced.
Mr. Forberg, who was appointed IT Director in September of 2005, has had a distinguished career in government service. As a computer systems specialist for the federal government, he worked eight years with a team that researched and developed remote sensing radar systems now used by the National Weather Service and other federal agencies.
Mr. Forberg began his career in County government in 1986. Before joining Sutter County as its Deputy Director of IT in 2003, he worked as a senior manager in San Joaquin County, as Deputy Chief Information Officer of Contra Costa County, and IT Director of Sonoma County.
He holds a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and has been a part-time instructor for California State University, Chico, the University of Phoenix, and the Heald Institute of Technology.
The Department will be reporting directly to the County Administrative Office until a formal recommendation can be presented to the Board of Supervisors. The department has six central functions: data processing, maintenance of the county’s networking system, PC support, programming support, external and internal website development and maintenance, and administration.

Sutter County’s Broussard Earns Emergency Manager Specialist Certificate, a Rarity for Public Health Officials
|
| April 30, 2013 |
Sutter County Public Health Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Jennifer Broussard is among
the first public health officials in the state to earn an Emergency Manager Specialist
Certificate from the California Emergency Management Agency.
Of the other 114 Californians who have completed the necessary training at the California
Specialized Training Institute to receive the certificate, there are few, if any, public
health officials, said John DeBeaux Jr., Emergency Operations Manager for Sutter County.
“Most who have completed the Emergency Manager Specialist Certificate course work are in
fire, law, and administration,” Mr. DeBeaux said. “As someone who understands the California
Emergency Services Act, the standardized State Emergency Management System, and the Public
Health field, Jennifer is not just an important asset to Sutter County but she can assist
other counties or the state in mutual aid situations if needed.”
Ms. Broussard is the first Public Health official to serve on the State Board of Directors
of the California Emergency Services Association (CESA), an organization comprised of
representatives of both public and private agencies. She serves as Vice-President of CESA’s
Inland Chapter.
Ms. Broussard’s certificate was signed by Cal EMA Agency Secretary Mark S. Ghilarducci.
