Kern County Board of Supervisors 2:00 p.m. meeting for Tuesday, November 10, 2026

The Kern County Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting on November 10, 2026 included approval of nuisance-abatement cost recovery totaling $75,831 for three properties; the amount for item B was revised to $49,994. The costs may be placed as special assessments on the properties if unpaid after 10 days. The consent agenda was approved, four ayes and one absent. Public comment raised concerns about a proposed District Attorney’s Office IT position and its software-vendor support duties; the chair clarified that the position would be filled through recruitment, and no action was taken on it at this meeting.

The board received and filed an annual state and federal legislative advocacy overview. The presentation covered county funding and grant prospects, including federal appropriations requests, disaster-resilience funding for Kern Valley Healthcare District, and opportunities to pursue grants; no contracts, vendor awards, or purchasing approvals were presented. Supervisors also approved adding work with the National Association of Royalty Owners of California to a referral concerning notification of mineral-rights owners affected by SB 1137 setback rules. The board approved recovery of abatement costs and the referral, but no procurement-related vote or contract award was identified.
