Board of Supervisors Meeting - 10/13/2026

The Tulare County Board of Supervisors meeting was held October 13, 2026. On Health and Human Services Agency spending, the board approved item 15, a California Mental Health Services Authority agreement for a remote supervision program, retroactive July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, for up to $250,000; the motion passed 5–0. A caller also raised concerns about item 14, described as $800,000 for four clients, but the chair noted it had already been approved. The transcript does not provide further contract or vendor details for item 14.

The board received a county cybersecurity presentation describing a state-local security monitoring partnership that has no cost apart from log-ingestion charges; staff estimated comparable commercial service would cost about $300,000 annually. The county is reviewing its security policies, adopted in 2010, and plans to bring updated policies and other security measures to the board later; no related purchase was approved. Supervisors also reported state funding checks of $1 million for the Delano Mosquito Abatement District and $2 million for the Farmworker Foundation, but no county procurement action was identified for those funds.
