# Sutter County Board of Supervisors Regular Session 10/27/2026

The Sutter County Board of Supervisors’ regular session on October 27, 2026, approved a request to solicit proposals from design firms for construction documents for HVAC improvements at the Sheriff’s Office Medium Jail. The county will post the solicitation for 30 days, competitively rank proposals, and return to the board with a recommended design contract; the board did not award a contract or approve construction bidding at this meeting. Staff said the project has previously awarded funding and cited the need to address jail temperature and humidity conditions. The motion passed 3–1 among members present, with Supervisor Boone opposed and Supervisor Baines absent. The board also approved an amendment to the Yuba City Unified School District intervention-services agreement, reducing the amount to a not-to-exceed $296,100 because probation staffing shortages required eliminating the truancy position. Separately, the In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority approved a wage and rate package effective January 1, 2027: provider wages rise from $17.90 to $18.40 per hour, and the total rate increases from $20.40 to $20.58 per hour, funded by social services realignment with no General Fund impact.

The board upheld the Planning Commission’s denial of a use-permit appeal for a proposed 74-truck yard, office, and repair shop on 4.88 acres along Garden Highway, citing concerns discussed about noise, traffic, and the neighboring rural and equestrian uses. Supervisors also approved a new compensation grade for fire battalion chiefs and selected candidates for the county’s Reclamation District 1000 votes. In follow-up discussion, a supervisor requested a public Measure G workshop after the election; no vote was taken on that request. Staff also reported that $3.3 million in federal funding for a wastewater-system replacement was not yet available for drawdown pending required processes, while approximately $400,000 for a generator grant was available.
