March 24, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting

The March 24, 2026 meeting of the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors included several proclamations recognizing arts education month and child abuse prevention month, highlighting community engagement and support initiatives. A significant portion of the meeting focused on an update from the Calaveras County Chamber of Commerce regarding the use of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) funds to support local businesses through workshops, marketing campaigns, and an employment training panel program aimed at workforce development. The Chamber reported over 30 workshops planned for 2026, free consultations for businesses, and a marketing campaign including a printed business directory. The board discussed challenges in communication and outreach effectiveness, particularly in the county's east side. Additionally, the Human Resources department presented a rationale for transitioning away from the state merit system to an in-house system to improve recruitment efficiency for critical human services positions. The board also authorized a settlement agreement related to litigation involving pharmaceutical companies. No specific contract awards or RFPs were detailed, but the discussion of TOT fund allocation and human resources system changes indicate ongoing procurement and budget management activities.
