James Busick, director of resource management, told the board the adjustment's primary purpose is to \"clean up that jurisdictional issue for maintenance and operations,\" and said the reconfiguration will not create new lots but will result in parcel sizes sufficient to support grazing and open-space operations. The item is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines sections 15268 and 15317, staff said.

Because the parcels are under Williamson Act land conservation contracts, the action also requires rescinding and issuing replacement contracts; staff listed the affected agreements and said new contract numbers will be recorded pursuant to county procedures. \"It was clumsy in the previous thing. We've cleaned it up and now we've separated them out into their own,\" Busick said, describing the Ramirez and Azevedo parcel clarifications.

Action: Supervisor John Vasquez moved approval; the motion carried 5-0.

Ending: Staff said the action resolves a long-standing boundary issue and will allow Lynch Canyon grazing and open-space operations to proceed with clarified maintenance responsibility.

Nancy Nelson, senior management analyst, summarized more than two decades of study and local reports recommending consolidation: \"Six of these seven reports concluded with a recommendation to consolidate fire protection,\" she said, referencing grand jury and LAFCO studies. Staff said next steps would include returning with an MOU for interim operations, a plan of service, staffing and fiscal analyses and resolutions of application to LAFCO for eventual reorganization.

Supporters and opponents spoke during public comment. Chris Calvert, chair of the Vacaville Fire Protection District board, told supervisors the Vacaville board supports moving forward: \"Our district has has been supportive of of a consolidation,\" he said. Several residents from the north county, including Christine Reiter and Reveille Hemken, urged the board to protect local resources and ensure that new governance will preserve existing response levels in high-risk areas. Reiter asked, \"How will Vacaville Fire Protection District's budget be impacted? Will taxpayer money be taken from the Vacaville district community and be used in other districts?\"

Board members said the change does not reflect a desire to take away local services but to achieve efficiencies, standardize training and funding, and improve countywide capacity for wildfire response. Supervisor Mashburn said the move gives unincorporated residents \"a voice they've always needed,\" because the board is accountable to voters. Supervisor Williams recommended creating an advisory board after consolidation so local expertise and community concerns continue to be heard.

Action: The board voted 5-0 to adopt resolutions appointing itself as the board of directors for the three named fire districts and to authorize staff to develop interim MOUs and LAFCO application materials. Supervisor Mashburn made the motion; it was seconded and passed 5-0.

Ending: Staff will return with the MOU, plan of service, staffing model and fiscal analysis; the board said it will pursue a public process with LAFCO and district stakeholders before any final reorganization.

Assistant County Administrator Ian Goldberg and staff recommended aligning the county's reserve policy with Government Finance Officers Association guidance. Under the adopted policy the target general fund reserve is two to three months of general operating revenues (approximately $58 million to $87 million), and a revised contingency approach provides an adjustable annual target range the board will revisit during each budget cycle. \"Our current general reserve sits at $48 million so we are significantly under our targets,\" Goldberg said during the presentation.

Why it matters: Board members noted the change is intended to protect essential services during a downturn without substituting reserves for recurring revenue; the policy preserves the board's long-standing practice of using reserves as a last resort and limiting annual draws for prudent management.

The board also discussed the county's high credit rating, the role of the county's 115 pension trust and capital renewal reserves, and the multi-year plan to reach targets. \"This gives us a couple months that we can keep the doors open if everything goes to hell in a hand basket,\" Supervisor John Vasquez said, stressing that the reserve is meant to maintain critical services, not to backfill ongoing state or federal funding losses.

Action: The board approved staff's recommendation by a 5-0 vote. Staff said they plan to target bringing reserves toward the policy range over a five-year timeframe as part of regular budget deliberations.

Ending: Supervisors asked staff to include reserve-target progress in future budget materials so the public and board can track progress toward the adopted range.

County Budget Officer Emily Combs told the board the midyear projections reflect a mix of higher-than-expected property tax and interest income and declines in other areas: \"Prop 172 . . . we're projecting a $1.7 million decrease compared to the working budget,\" she said, and staff also reported a $3.3 million loss in institutional care revenue tied to the Sonoma contract.

Why it matters: The midyear report sets the county's near-term spending picture and frames decisions for the requested budget in June. Supervisors said the report underscores a structural gap between ongoing revenues and expenditures and highlighted the risk that further state or federal funding changes could require program reductions.

The report shows the general fund's projected net county cost is down $21 million versus the working budget, in part because departments realized vacancy savings, but that the county still expects to use about $17 million in prior-year carryover to sustain operations. Combs summarized the outlook: \"Midyear projections show overall reductions in net county costs when compared to the working budget. However, it's important to note that going into the fiscal year, we rely very heavily on our reserves and prior year fund balance to cover our gap.\"

Board members asked staff to track vulnerabilities tied to potential federal and state cuts and return with a detailed list. Supervisor John Vasquez moved adoption of the midyear report and its recommended appropriation and position changes; Supervisor Brown seconded. The motion passed 5-0.

The midyear packet included recommended one-time appropriations and fixed-asset purchases across departments, including library facility work, probation client services renovations funded by AB 109 funds, and replacement radios for probation and other departments. Staff also recommended a position-resolution update that adds 10 positions and deletes nine, for a net increase of one full-time-equivalent, reflecting targeted, revenue-offset additions.

Public discussion during the item ranged from requests for more detail on HUD voucher risks to concerns about reliance on reserves if federal Medicaid funding is reduced. Supervisor Williams asked that the board and staff remain proactive: \"Let's make sure we're staying abreast on where things are with that,\" she said, referencing possible federal funding changes tied to Medicaid and HUD programs.

Ending: The board directed staff to continue monitoring state and federal budget developments and to return with vulnerability analyses and contingency plans during the requested-budget cycle.

","The Solano County Board of Supervisors on March 11 approved the county's midyear financial report, which projects a $37.7 million year-end fund balance while flagging declines in Prop 172 and several state/federal revenues and recommending targeted, one-time investments and position adjustments.","actionData","errors"]
