A ratified agreement with Zion Cloud Solutions for a Google Cloud landing zone and six-week Gemini Enterprise pilot was stated to be at no cost to the County. Members discussed proposed community grants—including requests for food-pantry improvements, youth programs, and mental-health services—which were introductions for consideration rather than awards at this meeting. The Board also discussed placing recurring PADS funding in the future budget and potential countywide coordination of food-pantry support; no related policy change was adopted in the transcript.
