Top issues during term (20)(Public Safety)
Animal welfare oversight and Miranda's Rescue concerns
A potential ~$10,000 spay/neuter program was floated; the sheriff's and Miranda's shelters are already full.
General Plan Safety Element / Hazard Mitigation Plan update
No direct cost discussed; keeps the county in line for state and federal hazard-mitigation funding.
Sheriff's Office community review board
Opponents estimate $400,000-$750,000 a year for an inspector general and staff; supporters call it a small share of the Sheriff's roughly $65 million budget.
Domestic violence services and awareness
Program is grant- and donation-supported; supervisors acknowledged funding pressures.
Wildfire resilience and county coordinator program
Millions in state and federal grant dollars flowing into fuel reduction; the RCD alone holds about $30 million in active grants.
Cannabis permit revocations for unpaid fees
Roughly $14 million in Measure S taxes was originally identified as unpaid; about $200,000 has been collected since January suspensions.
Election integrity resolution
Low-Cost Spay and Neuter Funding
About $10,000 a year from the general fund — roughly 20 dog and 40 cat procedures — with hopes of matching private dollars.
Lake Pillsbury dam safety concerns
Cannabis Code Enforcement Ordinance Cleanup
None stated directly, though supervisors noted poor cost recovery on enforcement actions.
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
Hope Center Staffing Concerns
Ground Ambulance Service Permits
$325,000 of Measure Z money goes to the ambulance service annually — roughly $1,100 to $1,200 per call, by Bohn's math.
Treatment of county peer support workers
Fire risk and noise from rural home businesses
The operator must install 2,500 gallons of fire-suppression water on site.
Alternate conflict counsel office for indigent defense
Roughly $2 million budgeted for the new office; current private counsel costs run $1.5–2 million per year.
Flock Surveillance Camera Funding
About $21,000-$22,000 in the sheriff's budget for Flock cameras — and potentially tens of thousands more in legal costs if the dispute escalates.
North Coast tsunami preparedness
Sheriff Helicopter Surveillance of Licensed Cannabis Farms
The coalition reportedly provides over $500,000 to the Sheriff's Office through July 2026.
Behavioral Health Services Act transition and three-year plan
