BOS Regular Meeting - 05/05/2026

The Madera County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on May 5, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement items included the approval of a two-year agreement to reserve 34 beds at the Madera Rescue Mission for behavioral health clients, funded by the Mental Health Services Act with a monthly cost of $1,486 per bed. The board also approved the submission of a grant application to the Innovation Partnership Fund for up to $5 million to enhance public health and behavioral health services, including mobile health teams and drop-in centers. Additionally, the Flood Control and Water Conservation Agency reported on a grant-funded project to remove invasive Arundo plants from flood control channels, improving flood safety. The board took votes to approve these items, with motions passing unanimously or with minor recusals. Other agenda items included proclamations recognizing public service and National Nurses Week, but no further procurement actions were noted.
