CriticalPublic Safety

Emergency proclamations — road failure, tree mortality, sewer spills, Lucas Fire

The Board kept six emergency proclamations alive — from a failing road on Socrates Mine Road to tree mortality, the Clear Lake Hitch, a shelter crisis, and two sewage spills. Emergency status keeps state resources and expedited contracting available.

CriticalTaxes Budget

Final Recommended Budget FY 2026-2027

This is the county's spending plan for the next fiscal year — it determines funding for sheriff's deputies, roads, parks, libraries, and every other county service. The Board heard testimony on day two but won't finalize the budget until June 18, so residents still have a window to weigh in.
