The Fresno County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on August 11, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and decisions. Key procurement topics included the approval of a report on the Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act, highlighting funding allocations and infrastructure planning challenges. The board debated the timing and ballot placement of a transportation tax measure (Measure C), ultimately voting to place it on the March 7, 2028, ballot with revised language to comply with conflicting state laws. Additionally, the board discussed the county's solid waste recycling and organic waste collection program, hearing from haulers who advocated for long-term contracts (preferably ten years) to ensure service stability and compliance with state mandates. The board directed staff to return within 60 days with a revised ten-year contract proposal. Other procurement-related actions included approval of fee increases for the EMT paramedic training program and multiple board appointments. The meeting also featured public comments on various issues, including health care costs for county employees and foster care oversight.
