The Amador County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on July 14, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement topics included approval of a temporary closure of the Jackson Library from August 10 to 14 for interior reorganization funded by a recent grant for new furniture. The board also discussed enhancing code enforcement processes by introducing administrative fines to improve compliance and reduce costly abatements, with direction given to staff to draft ordinance amendments. Additionally, the board approved placing the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement (AVA) fee back on the November ballot, setting the fee at $1 per vehicle to fund vehicle removal programs. The Resource Conservation District provided an update on ongoing and planned projects related to fire resiliency, forest health, and working lands, highlighting grant-funded programs such as chipping, defensible space, and prescribed grazing. Finally, the board appointed Candace Thomas as the new tax collector/treasurer effective August 14, 2026. Motions related to procurement and budget items, including the library closure and AVA fee ballot measure, were unanimously approved by the board.
