County of San Bernardino Live Stream 06.09.2026

The County of San Bernardino Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 9, 2026, which included extensive discussions on various community and infrastructure projects, public safety programs, and social services. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of water and sanitation service charge adjustments for multiple county service areas, with rate increases ranging from 1.74% to 19% depending on the district. The board addressed community concerns about these rate hikes, particularly for small and isolated districts, and discussed potential long-term solutions such as system consolidation to achieve economies of scale. The board unanimously approved most rate adjustments except for the Lidle Creek district, where a majority protest led to maintaining current rates and directing staff to engage further with the community. Additionally, the board approved the 2026-2027 county budget totaling $10.9 billion, highlighting new investments of $273.7 million focused on vulnerable populations, infrastructure, and public safety. The meeting also covered the Behavioral Health Services Act 2026-2029 integrated plan, emphasizing a $2.34 billion investment over three years to improve mental health, substance use disorder treatment, and homelessness services. Public comments raised concerns about child welfare services funding and administration, with calls for greater transparency and reform. The board scheduled a forthcoming workshop to address child and family services in detail.
