North Meridian Road drainage and flood risk
A resident says the county's road widening pushed material into her drainage canals and they've never been cleared, raising flood fears ahead of a predicted wet El Niño winter. County staff say Public Works is already coordinating storm prep and will report back on possible state emergency funding.
Solano 5 Wind Repower Project and Travis AFB compatibility
An ad hoc committee visited Travis AFB's Radar Approach Control Center to understand how wind turbines might interfere with radar and the base's training mission, and is working to visit the FAA facility as well.
2025 Crop and Livestock Report and consumer overcharges
The county's annual ag report showed record production value but declining field and forage acreage, ongoing pest surveillance, and 103 overcharged items caught in retail price inspections. Supervisors want a report naming repeat-offender businesses.
Biosolids land application report questioned
A resident told the Board the 2026 biosolids report understates the sources and risks of certain substances and shouldn't be relied on for future policy. The Board accepted the report anyway.
