The March 10, 2026 meeting of the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors included several key procurement and budget-related discussions. Notably, the board considered a financing agreement with the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank to fund the construction of a new $13 million animal services facility. The project aims to replace an outdated shelter and improve animal care standards, with an estimated 130 construction jobs generated.

The meeting also featured a presentation from PG&E on storm response efforts and power restoration, emphasizing interagency coordination and resource deployment during recent severe weather events. Public comments addressed concerns about emergency response and county infrastructure readiness. No other contract awards or RFPs were discussed.
