The Board of Supervisors conducted our annual Budget Workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday, which was open to the public. Each department presented what it accomplished in FY 23/24 and its goals for FY 24/25. The schedule of each department’s presentation to the board can be found here and the draft FY 24/25 budget, approved by the board in June, can be found here.
I also had a monthly Sacramento Area Council of Government’s (SACOG) board meeting this week and you can find the agenda here. Items this public is likely most interested in include:
- Regional Funding Program Framework
- Transportation Policy Workshop
- 2025 Blueprint Implementation Discussion: Housing Types
Additional items on my calendar include a SACOG Strategic Planning Committee retreat prep meeting, a Yuba Water Agency agenda prep meeting, a Yuba Water Agency chair/vice-chair breakfast, a NACo West Region monthly meeting, a touch base on some future advocacy for Beale AFB, and a Hard Rock/Enterprise Rancheria Development Committee meeting. It’s always great to meet with Hard Rock, Enterprise Rancheria, the City of Wheatland, OPUD, Yuba County, Yuba Water, YSEDC, and other partners to discuss the status of infrastructure, commercial, and residential development projects in south Yuba County.
This week, community-related events on my calendar included a Yuba Sutter Chamber Ribbon Cutting for Palomas in downtown Marysville, the kick-off of the Yuba Sutter Veteran’s Stand Down, the Plumas Lake Block Party, the Run for the Hills Mountain Fair 5k and the Mountain Fair in Brownsville.
