The Kern County Board of Supervisors’ afternoon meeting on October 27, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda with item 36 pulled for separate consideration. The item concerned completion of sewer-segment replacement work by Sierra Construction and Excavation for the Kern County sanitation authority; the board approved the item. A public hearing also addressed recovery of county nuisance-abatement costs from property owners. Staff withdrew items A and C from that cost-recovery action; the transcript does not clearly establish the final disposition of the remaining costs. No contract amount or contract number was stated.

State Senator Melissa Hurtado reported approximately $7.3 million in funding for Kern County, including $2 million for farm-worker support, $750,000 for Meadows Field Airport, $125,000 for Delano Airport, $1.5 million for Delano community and water infrastructure, $500,000 for cybersecurity, $150,000 for Delano mosquito abatement, $150,000 for Lamont park lighting, $87,500 for a county public-health initiative, $100,000 for Veterans Services, and $2 million for the Office of Emergency Services; she also referenced an additional $2 million. The board discussed a proposed new District Attorney’s Office systems-coordinator classification and the incumbent’s reclassification, but did not make a final classification decision; staff were directed to return with a clarified recommendation. Public comment also urged county action on state law SB 1137 and notice to mineral and royalty owners potentially affected by its setback requirements.
