First 5 Solano audit
The Board was scheduled to receive the annual audit of the First 5 Solano Children and Families Commission for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, which funds early childhood health and education programs.
Native American Heritage Month proclamation
The county formally honors November 2026 as Native American Heritage Month, recognizing the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation's stewardship of Patwin ancestral lands and ongoing partnerships like the mobile food pharmacy in Vallejo.
Fire alarm and suppression upgrades at county buildings
$876K for Phase 1 fire alarm replacement at three Fairfield county buildings, with Phase 2 fire suppression at the Administration Center server center to follow.
Nut Tree Airport hangar taxilane construction
A $1.8 million contract will rebuild the northeast hangar taxilanes and drainage at the county airport.
Registrar of Voters governance change
The county code no longer requires the Chief Information Officer to double as Registrar of Voters, separating the tech job from running elections.
Midway Road vacation and Sodhi Circle
An unused piece of Midway Road near I-80 was vacated and a new 500-foot public road named Sodhi Circle was accepted for the Midway Plaza fuel station project; a resident raised Sweeney Creek and farm traffic concerns.
State of the County event
A proposed ticketed Chamber-hosted State of the County breakfast drew concerns about staff time, Brown Act rules and equitable access; the board agreed any future event would not involve the full board.
Sheriff's Office employee recognition and new-hire oath ceremony
The Sheriff's Office celebrated its people — swearing in five new hires, pinning four promotions, and handing out medals for life-saving, heroism, and major investigations. These are the folks who staff the jail, answer 911, and patrol the county, so turnover and recognition matter for local public safety.
Green Valley Open Space Maintenance District Assessments
A public hearing on the district's FY2026/27 assessments is set for July 28, 2026. Property owners in the district will have a chance to comment before the levy is finalized.
Biosolids land application report questioned
The board accepted the annual biosolids report despite a fertilizer company's objection that the underlying study mischaracterizes risks and shouldn't be used for future policy decisions.
FY2026/27 Appropriations Limits (GANN)
The state requires counties to set annual spending ceilings. The countywide limit for next fiscal year is just under $975 million. It's a legal formality, not a budget adoption, but it frames what the county can appropriate.
Probation Department Cloud Migration
The county is spending $210,000 to move its probation case management system to a secure government cloud, plus $126,250 a year in hosting after the migration and $62,500 for consulting help.
Lot line adjustment between Stevenson Bridge Road and Strathgordon Lane parcels
Two neighboring farm owners west of Davis wanted to swap 1.12 acres across their shared lot line. Both parcels are locked into a Williamson Act agricultural contract, and the swap doesn't change how the land can be used.
Victim restitution services funding
A new state contract brings $233,559 to the District Attorney's office for victim restitution services over three years.
SB 707 remote meeting disruption policy
New state law makes counties plan for what happens when Zoom-style meeting access fails mid-meeting — the Board adopted a policy requiring a one-hour recess to restore remote access before continuing.
