6-25-2026 County of San Diego Board of Supervisors Meeting (PM Session)

The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 25, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and policy issues. The board considered and adopted an ordinance to modernize the county charter aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and independent oversight, including the establishment of an independent budget analyst and program auditor. Public comments reflected mixed opinions, particularly concerning the extension of term limits for supervisors from two to three terms. The board also certified a citizens' initiative petition to place a half-cent sales tax measure on the November 2026 ballot to fund health and safety services, including wildfire response and child care, with provisions for independent oversight and audits. Additionally, the board authorized food distribution pilots at strategic county facilities to mitigate the impact of new CalFresh work requirements, allocating $500,000 for flexible food distribution including home delivery to high-need areas. Another significant policy action was the adoption of a new board policy (A75) to increase transparency and public access to board ad hoc subcommittee meetings, with exceptions for sensitive subjects such as juvenile matters. Lastly, the board designated Waterfront Park as the permanent home for a firefighter memorial. Several motions related to these items passed, with some dissenting votes noted. The meeting included extensive public commentary on transparency, term limits, budget oversight, and community support programs.
