Top issues during term (16)(Taxes Budget)
State legislative developments affecting the county
The Safer water funding negotiation left the county short of full funding, though a good chunk was recovered for this year; the new AB 2739 fund depends on future state appropriations.
FEMA reimbursement for 2023 floods and 2020 fire secured
About $2 million in grant money is set aside for storm pump fixes, with roughly $35 million in disaster resilience funding flowing countywide.
SJV Biodiesel assessment appeal settlement
The settled taxable values — from roughly $5.96 million to $13.6 million — determine how much property tax the company pays on those assets.
FEMA Disaster Recovery Response
Forcum-Mackey construction contract increases
Combined increases of about $576,390 to county-funded construction contracts.
IHSS Caregiver Wages
A wage increase above 10 cents would raise county IHSS costs; no figure was given.
Remote meeting attendance to fix quorum problems
Modest — mostly the cost of setting up Zoom/Teams access for meetings.
FY 2026/27 County Budget Adoption
Total budget up about $166 million over last year; net county cost up $14.5 million; long-term debt down 7.7% to $176 million.
2026-27 assessment roll grows 4% to $55 billion
About $550 million in countywide property tax revenue flows from the roll; residential owners saw the biggest value jumps this year.
Measure R renewal on the horizon
Billions in local road funding over the measure's life are at stake.
State budget cuts to health and human services
Possible one-year reprieve on state cuts to food assistance and Medi-Cal that would hit low-income county residents.
Statutory filing deadlines leave no room for hardship appeals
The applicant says she owes about $70,000 in supplemental taxes accruing roughly $1,000 a month in interest.
Flood Control District budget squeeze from liability insurance
About $790,000 a year going to liability insurance, leaving the district living off reserves until at least 2031.
Updated Internal Audit Charter under new global standards
No direct cost discussed; it's a governance housekeeping update.
Shrinking funding and rising recidivism
Expiring federal and state programs mean fewer dollars to keep already-housed people housed — the safety net is getting thinner.
Fiscal Year 2027 audit plan selections
The audits use staff time already budgeted — no new spending, but findings could recover or prevent lost county dollars.
