Amador County Board of Supervisors' Meeting 10/20/26

The Amador County Board of Supervisors met on October 20, 2026. The board approved reclassifying an Animal Care Technician position to Animal Control Officer and authorizing recruitment to fill it. Staff estimated an annual salary increase of about $3,500; no additional vehicle was requested. This was a staffing action rather than a procurement. The board also approved the agenda, consent agenda, and October 6 minutes; no specific contracts, bids, or purchasing decisions were identified.

During public comment, residents again asked the county to consider a temporary moratorium and a public planning process for data centers, citing potential effects on water, roads, utilities, wildfire response, and emergency services. The board took no action on the request and did not set a future agenda date. Supervisors also discussed a recent three-day power shutoff during a wind event, but took no action. No procurement activity was identified.
