Fresno County Board of Supervisors Meeting 10/6/2026

At its October 6, 2026 meeting, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors discussed several infrastructure and contracting matters. For Waterworks District 40 in Shaver Springs, staff reviewed water-quality and sewer-system challenges, state assistance—including a $38 monthly resident subsidy and approximately $254,000 in state-funded support—and options for using district funds. The board unanimously directed staff to return at its next meeting with a proposal for using up to $100,000 in district funds to provide the greatest resident relief, while avoiding action that could jeopardize state water assistance. Staff also reported that a state-supported feasibility study is expected by year-end. The board considered a superseding agreement with the Fresno County Fire Protection District and an associated budget resolution appropriating approximately $1.46 million; the transcript does not capture the final action on that item. It unanimously approved a road-maintenance project list that includes Okaden Road, to be issued through a JOC contract.

The board also unanimously approved direction on renewal planning for the county’s ESAP solid-waste agreements: staff will develop options for urban-area cleanup services, assess service-area boundaries, and return with proposed 10-year agreements and base rates by spring 2027. If a hauler does not execute a final agreement, staff is to develop a process for assigning service through a closed bid among remaining haulers. Separately, a supervisor reported a roughly $250 million BEAD broadband grant award shared among five counties, with Fresno County’s share described in the transcript but not clearly stated. The board also reviewed county employee health-plan changes and rate increases, but no related purchasing decision or vote is captured.
