Top issues during term (20)
Data center moratorium request
Backers say it would boost the tax base for schools and services without raising home taxes; critics want a fiscal analysis of who pays for roads, water, and fire impacts.
Westover Field hangar leasing
Adds roughly $3,500 a year to the airport enterprise budget, which earns about $4,000 a month from hangars.
Chief Probation Officer salary
The cut saves the county roughly $15,000 a year.
PG&E power shutoffs in the Pioneer area
Residents faced spoiled food, generator fuel costs, and three days without power.
Fire district lease at Pine Grove Park
Rent rises from $1,331 to $1,500 a month paid by the fire district to the county.
Animal control staffing
About $3,500 more per year at the top of the pay scale.
Bright Feather Road neighbor dispute
Renaming now would cost the county money and months of mail and 911 address confusion.
Community health priorities: suicide and chronic disease
Funded through the new Behavioral Health Services Act program, though state funding amounts aren't yet set.
Structural budget deficit in FY 2026-27
The budget totals about $148.9 million, with a projected $3.5 million deficit looming for next year.
Library services and Pioneer hours
Furniture funded by a grant; no general fund cost cited.
Arroyo Ditch loan repayment
County recovers $150,000 plus about $15,000 in interest into the Water Development Fund for future water loans.
Broadband for Fiddletown and Drytown
No cost to the county; funded through the California Advanced Services Fund.
local election results
Ballot measures can shift how local tax dollars get spent — or raise them — so your wallet has a stake in these results.
Upper Ridge Road safety petition
Electra Road and Tiger Creek Road Maintenance with PG&E
Shifts maintenance costs for about four miles of road between the county and PG&E.
Petersen Ranch Unit 3 reversion to acreage
County holds about $600,000 in improvement bonds that will be released with the cancelled agreement.
Wildfire liability legislation and CSAC opposition letter
Unknown until bill text emerges; potential multimillion-dollar implications for fire recovery costs and ratepayer bills.
Jail expansion financing sublease
$28 million project with roughly $17.2 million in state SB 863 funding; county remains responsible for operations and maintenance.
Kirkland Ranch RV spaces in the Shenandoah Valley
No direct county cost; the ranch gains a new revenue stream while wineries fear precedent in a struggling grape market.
Stinkwort Invasive Weed Spread
Control costs are currently falling on private landowners; county roadside spraying would add expense.
