09/08/2026 Board of Supervisors

The Placer County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on September 8, 2026, which included extensive discussions on procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement topics included the approval of a $1,172,234 contract with Wayfinder Family Services for kinship support and resource family liaison services through June 2028. The board also reviewed and adopted updates to the Sunset Traffic Fee District and Capital Improvement Program, including a reduction of $500,000 in certain line items and a slight decrease in the fee per dwelling unit. A comprehensive Community Development Resource Agency (CEDRA) user fee study was presented, revealing a $6.1 million funding gap due to low current cost recovery rates. The board considered proposed fee schedule adjustments to increase cost recovery to approximately 75.9%, with phased implementation over three years. Discussions addressed fee offsets for affordable housing and small projects, a proposed new general plan maintenance fee, and policies on doubling fees for permits obtained after violations. Public comments and board deliberations highlighted concerns about fee impacts on small businesses and residents, with a motion passed to postpone the general plan maintenance fee for further review. The meeting also included recognition of the District Attorney's Office for its "One Pill Can Kill" campaign and updates from the Older Adult Advisory Commission.
