The board voted 5-0 to adopt staff recommendations.

Housing services administrator Celinda Aguilar Vasquez and principal planner Matt Walsh said the county contracts with the City of Vacaville Housing Authority to administer day-to-day Section 8 operations for the Solano County jurisdiction (the cities of Dixon and Rio Vista and the unincorporated county). The authority manages up to 368 vouchers and reported the following voucher inventory: 251 regular Housing Choice Vouchers, 19 tenant-protection vouchers, 45 VASH (Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing) vouchers, 50 mainstream vouchers and 3 mainstream CARE vouchers.

Staff said the housing authority increased payment standards to 110% of the fair-market rent (the maximum permitted by HUD) to broaden neighborhood choices and has implemented a landlord incentive program that offers sign-on bonuses, damage-claim payments and vacancy-loss payments. The authority reported about 276 vouchers leased (approximately 67–70% utilization), leaving roughly 92 vouchers unused. Staff and board members described landlord recruitment as the primary barrier to increased utilization. Vacancies are constrained by the authority’s limited jurisdiction and by housing unit availability in those jurisdictions.

During deliberations supervisors asked about federal funding uncertainty under continuing resolutions; staff said there was no immediate change to program funding through the current continuing resolution. Several members pushed for expanded outreach to landlords: Supervisor Bryant offered to host a lunch to recruit owners, Supervisor Vasquez asked staff to coordinate publicity with Dixon and Rio Vista, and Supervisor James requested a heat map showing concentration of voucher use across the county and cities to target landlord outreach. Staff agreed to consult GIS and to report back.

The board opened and closed a public hearing; one speaker asked how applicants and landlords access the voucher waitlist and staff directed the speaker to county intake points including Resource Connect Solano and the coordinated entry system while noting the county waitlist for this program is closed. The board approved staff’s recommendation and directed staff to continue outreach and to report back on landlord recruitment and the requested mapping.

The action moves the authority’s plans forward pending HUD guidance on HOPMA and positions staff to pursue landlord engagement measures intended to increase voucher utilization.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Supervisors 04-08-25 Meeting 1 of 1","oneSentenceSummary","The Solano County Housing Authority, represented by the Board of Supervisors, on April 8 approved revised five-year and annual plans plus a Moving to Work supplemental plan and two versions of administrative-plan chapters pending HUD HOPMA guidance, voting 5-0.","taxTitle","Solano County, California","taxId",3563,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6082709,"Solano County supervisors adopt resolutions recognizing community observances and honor an employee",3995,201000,4196000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe&start=201&end=4196","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe/thumbnail_201000.jpg","/articles/6082709/Solano-County/California/Solano-County-supervisors-adopt-resolutions-recognizing-community-observances-and-honor-an-employee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082709-d6592280161c3cfbdf598ab3b51f1815/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991691&Signature=NZ8FT3lZtoyVqceRgg-Wymrd7-Y22bpNy-QETcklpSfkxrL0mpdDdufiQSXbOO-kbqe2Ce33ZGvczYG5O81bKgCSxJB1wlh20rjJshVTvTK8Udcl3guox36FYQTMZ2fRsyGyoIdaUJHJHpxZj0-5oBour9nye21toAoJJ6JSUuuB1BGHAaFDCvBaM2eq4dY11gbeIDjSdO7DYHOeRuGsO0Oe8XWDYlV7NntqSI9fqUx6F-bH5lFWZN0LmI0S3vNzSKysQjlYFdHVjA795~6MJwC~7lnYJjTqfTPDmsRs1290J5hDicKLbvR6JdkN8PnnO8KrwrPpjjsIXImQQncELw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Solano County Board of Supervisors on April 8 adopted multiple resolutions recognizing community observances and presented its April employee of the month, voting 5-0 on each item.

The board adopted a resolution honoring Ruth Love on the occasion of her 100th birthday, noting her longtime residency in Vallejo, service with Friendship Missionary Baptist Church and role in organizing Solano County’s first Black American Girl Scout troop. The board then adopted resolutions recognizing April 13–19, 2025 as Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week and April 2025 as National Financial Literacy Month; representatives from the sheriff’s office and Valley Strong Credit Union spoke in support of those items.

The supervisors also approved a resolution recognizing April 11–17, 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week in Solano County. Representatives from Solano Hills’ Black Infant Health and maternal-health programs described services including one-on-one case management, doula support and perinatal mental-health resources and announced a free public seminar and outreach events. The board later adopted a resolution recognizing April 2025 as Fair Housing Month and heard remarks from local real-estate groups. The board adopted a resolution recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and received remarks from Sheriff’s Office staff and the dispatch manager, who described retirements and a dispatcher-of-the-year award.

Separately, the board’s county administrator recognized Emily Shepherd as the county’s April employee of the month; Ian Goldberg and Emily’s supervisor described her duties greeting visitors to the County Administrator’s Office and supporting operations.

All resolutions were approved by unanimous 5-0 votes. Several presenters encouraged residents to attend upcoming community events tied to the proclamations, and multiple department representatives highlighted volunteer and outreach opportunities.

The actions required no further direction; staff and invited presenters provided program information and outreach details.

For the record: the presentations and votes were formal agenda items recorded on the April 8 board agenda and carried out in open session.","At its April 8 meeting the Solano County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted resolutions recognizing a centenarian and several awareness weeks and months, heard presentations from community partners and presented an employee-of-the-month award.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6082690,"Supervisors to seek formal presentation on proposed Collinsville maritime project after public objections",2087,2520000,4607000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe&start=2520&end=4607","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe/thumbnail_2520000.jpg","/articles/6082690/Solano-County/California/Supervisors-to-seek-formal-presentation-on-proposed-Collinsville-maritime-project-after-public-objections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082690-d7b502e8e55b005bf12501df48012dc6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991691&Signature=EVCeN1pHIrc7Sj1QSHCTErG5GUd6W3EjQRt1IIPSDtNyrOH7Q96arj1wMUqztEvGonGMqWm1oWoVozr3JlSZJ8ZJX3RLFUnza2YfYMP7fM7GvI8HgE5Fr04MohUE-Suq-mfcqZ00cmVzCtX5~jYA1BXxm3BLcCabwNE374TWYFyj2zOzbnKrcVI1B65vJgkAm2dXq8TIzyCQFEhYGbQlyqJIzGUtpeYYxwg7Co93H0jqajb268~XjNhhv~xWpkijLFVbIv1R6WwGKVElr6alHF4DRV1d2moAGf2NVMfs4mhUg-rRh5JVY~TZeFOoSP4B8NEjQjFyuFsrIPRCl6a8bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Public comment at the April 8 Solano County Board of Supervisors meeting criticized proposed development activity associated with the so‑called California Forever/Collinsville concept. Michael Hayes said reuse proposals for waterfront property risked diverting investment from established communities and questioned the involvement of retired military leaders in the project.

In board-member comments Supervisor Kai Williams said she had been linked publicly to an assemblymember’s committee on the project but clarified she is not participating in any committee reviewing it and said the board has exclusive land-use jurisdiction for the area in question. Williams asked for a formal, public presentation at the board’s April 22 meeting to explain what is allowed under the county general plan for Collinsville, and to provide any proposers an opportunity to present project concepts directly to the board and public. Chair Mitch Mashburn agreed to schedule that presentation and asked staff to keep the April 22 agenda light to accommodate public interest.

The board did not take a policy vote at the April 8 meeting. Members emphasized that cities and other jurisdictions do not have unilateral authority over the county’s unincorporated lands and said any formal proposal would come through the board’s land‑use process. The chair said the board would consider further action only after hearing formal proposals in open session.","After public comment objecting to a proposed port/shipyard concept in the Collinsville area, Chair Mashburn and Supervisor Williams agreed to place a public presentation on the April 22 board meeting so the public and board can review what is being proposed and understand the board’s jurisdiction.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6082695,"Resident raises concerns about a county‑sponsored Native American healing circle; board asks administrator to investigate",239,2651000,2890000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe&start=2651&end=2890","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe/thumbnail_2651000.jpg","/articles/6082695/Solano-County/California/Resident-raises-concerns-about-a-countysponsored-Native-American-healing-circle-board-asks-administrator-to-investigate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082695-1ed4449fc58f49566964444cfb3219d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991691&Signature=UqSLb3x-PaXkQ3CXl~tZJYnhUzRdLQuKL9XzKDZ~cN~Em3DXfYTXUJ98RJ~uUQfKAWPYTjLDmAV0X233fFB9N4mOTbsfv2vik0cNy3SQVnBRDRgaPXtk3xisYDFtV2ezwqWDrbcNswjPo~yw03Jz~qk~g1~0M6o3lMydT2kAoMs02HDJ2bh9UY44y9DE6p4mNe2iwuqqhg3FrrK82qtnHCXnYSLgBGQEn7Rr5HNz~cFq6li6Q5I1eC6Q6yYTDEIKZJUOsafV4EXaH1uORppsKU4Lf9L029HSsInZRafo06AtNnIM2f3yIrHJKNthIqkwMi8VAPi5o0E1PS88xBzizQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the public‑comment period on April 8, resident and long‑time Native‑community advocate Kim D’Ocampo told the Solano County Board of Supervisors she had concerns about a Native American healing circle organized by Agape Counseling that listed the county as a sponsor. D’Ocampo asked for information about the facilitator’s experience with Native communities and said she found an initial reply from the organizer dismissive. She urged the board to ensure the county consults tribal and Native stakeholders before sponsoring healing work serving Native people.

After the comment period Chair Mashburn said the board could not answer the questions during public comment but asked the county administrator to look into the matter and provide the board a report so the resident’s questions could be addressed. Several board members signaled agreement.

The board took no formal action beyond requesting that staff follow up and report back to the board with findings about the sponsorship, facilitator qualifications and whether outreach to Native community members occurred.","A resident told the board she was concerned about an Agape Counseling–organized \"Native American healing circle\" where she said the facilitator lacked documented qualifications and the county appeared as a sponsor; the board asked the county administrator to investigate and report back.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6082701,"Board approves increase to vehicle registration fee to fund county Cal‑ID fingerprint program",669,6468000,7137000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe&start=6468&end=7137","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2936262-06df12e31e759701ddbbbc834d146cfe/thumbnail_6468000.jpg","/articles/6082701/Solano-County/California/Board-approves-increase-to-vehicle-registration-fee-to-fund-county-CalID-fingerprint-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082701-f2fe4d077061299a2b2aa241fef69132/orig.mp4?Expires=1770991691&Signature=VnqVfpUzKb2xJOzH0xgrb0hSAOf9DAJRhVS7QLdjcHrIai1xETAmH1UBslOpm0kzIrBSQggqKz7KZZVwoBK3iNLFuFAH~Ug8yiH2aKnL5zyWUEWbcjavv5-9UB~H-N1Br-hxTSF3aGOQniW9honJD4SUMsppriT7XBQcadiuMIQEJ~V8E7OJ9udYd8-yj76ZMCxJzHw9eVawQn5UoIMVJn5CGLViw4R6MbcfibZFvDJqxag5vYpHntdPCrCkUFPWmVPfMNf9yaM4dsMyIfYjEh96HW99gULel88hMZgIR9rQrgCYmAbfNVy7m~BNmNT8~u3iZ3M-hwYU3uoLv9HR6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Solano County Board of Supervisors on April 8 voted 5-0 to increase the county motor-vehicle registration fee from $1 to $2 and the commercial registration fee from $2 to $4, with the revenue dedicated exclusively to the county’s automated fingerprint identification (Cal‑ID) program. The fee increase is authorized by Assembly Bill 2393 (2014) and implemented under the California Vehicle Code provision referenced by staff.

Lisa Donahue, director of administrative services for the sheriff’s office and chair of the county RAN board, explained that the fee funds the Cal‑ID unit’s latent-fingerprint examiners, automated biometric identification system (ABIS) software and hardware, and training and certification for staff. Donahue said one of two latent-fingerprint examiner positions was recently vacated by retirement and that the county must maintain staffing and system maintenance. The sheriff’s office’s Cal‑ID staff described the program’s role in matching latent prints from crime scenes and processing live-scan fingerprints from the jail and patrol operations.

Staff estimated that the DMV would require a one-time programming fee of about $40,000, deducted from the county’s first deposit, and that increasing the fee in Solano County (with a vehicle fleet of roughly 424,000 vehicles) would produce an estimated annual increase in fund revenue that staff described as approximately $420,000 per year for Cal‑ID operations and upgrades. If the board’s resolution is submitted to DMV immediately it would take roughly six months for DMV to process the change and begin collecting the higher fee; staff said the earliest collection date would be October 1, 2025, consistent with DMV timelines.

At the meeting the board opened and closed the public hearing on the item; no public speakers addressed the proposal during the hearing. Board members heard sheriff’s office anecdotes illustrating Cal‑ID’s public-safety value: the sheriff related an incident in which a latent-print match identified an individual wanted on an international homicide warrant who otherwise would have been released. The board adopted the resolution imposing the fee and directed staff to submit the change to DMV for processing.

The fee revenue is restricted by statute and will be used only for Cal‑ID operations, staffing, ABIS upgrades and related equipment and training. Staff will bring procurement and staffing actions to the board as required by county purchasing and personnel rules.","The Solano County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to raise the county motor-vehicle registration fee from $1 to $2 (commercial from $2 to $4) to fund the county’s automated fingerprint identification (Cal‑ID) system, with collections to begin October 1, 2025 pending DMV processing.","actionData","errors"]
