6-9-2026 County of San Diego Board of Supervisors Meeting

The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on June 9, 2026, which included extensive public commentary and discussions on various topics. Key procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of a cost study and potential elimination of the Tier D retirement benefit for county employees, with multiple speakers advocating for moving Tier D employees to Tier C to improve workforce retention and service quality. The board unanimously approved the motion to accept the minutes from previous meetings and the consent agenda, which included behavioral health service expansions and appointments. A significant agenda item was the proposed policy to increase transparency and accountability for all board ad hoc committees, which failed to pass due to a tie vote, with concerns raised about balancing transparency with the need for confidential discussions in sensitive cases. The board also reviewed and approved the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) three-year integrated plan for fiscal years 2026-2029, outlining a $1.6 billion budget focused on expanding behavioral health services, housing, and workforce development, with particular attention to early intervention and youth services. Public comments highlighted concerns about mental health service funding allocations, especially for children and youth, and the impact of marijuana policies on behavioral health. The meeting reflected ongoing efforts to address workforce stability, transparency in governance, and behavioral health system improvements in San Diego County.
