During this year’s CSAC Annual Conference I enjoyed conversations with County Supervisors from throughout California on a range of difficult policy decisions facing our communities. Crime and justice, housing, drought, mental health, homelessness, leadership challenges and opportunities are just a few of the myriad of topics discussed. Please click here to view a brief clip of remarks I provided at the conference.

At our November 23^rd Board of Supervisors meeting, we held a Proposition 218 public hearing for the Clarksburg Lighting Assessment District to approve an assessment increase for street lighting services. As a result, the ballots received from property owners were tabulated and a resolution was adopted to increase the annual assessment rate to $35 per parcel effective FY 2022-23. This assessment has not been increased since 1994 and no longer covered the costs related to providing streetlight service.

The Covid-19 pandemic is an ongoing priority. For testing, clinics, and Yolo County Updates and Guidelines click here.

I would like to welcome Babs Sandeen to the Local Mental Health Board. Babs has a resume rich in service to the people of Yolo County and will be a huge asset to this board.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Sam Bivins for his years of service on the Transportation Advisory Committee. Sam was an active member and most recently served as

chair of the committee.
