Air Pollution Control District FY 2026/2027 budget hearing
The district's budget grows $151,060 but stays self-funded with no general fund support, with expanded wood stove replacement vouchers and a new engineering consulting contract for permitting.
Jamestown Mine Site remediation extension to 2041
The county extended its 2006 mine remediation judgment to 2041, paying $120,000 a year while roughly 300 gallons per minute of contaminated groundwater must be evaporated. Supervisors discussed pursuing revenue-generating uses like solar or small data centers on the site.

The county adopted the state's Joint Strategy for Sustainable Outdoor Recreation & Wildfire Resilience as a guiding document — mostly symbolic, but it positions the grant-reliant county to compete for Prop 4 and other funding for trails, microparks, and fuel breaks.
