Key outcomes recorded by the clerk and staff:

- Consent calendar: Approved 4-0. Two consent items (5d and 5g) were pulled for discussion and considered; the clerk recorded a 4-0 roll-call approval.

- CDBG-CV2 rapid rehousing grant closeout (agenda item 7a): Approved 4-0. Motion to approve staff recommendation to close out grant number cited in staff report and authorize submittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Clerk recorded yes votes from Supervisor Wam Hahn, Supervisor Rogers, Supervisor McCauley and Chair Gonzales.

- Very high fire hazard severity zone designation (agenda item 6c): Adopted ordinance 4-0. County planning staff said the designation uses state fire-marshal maps and is intended to help affected communities qualify for insurance and grant programs.

- Boating ordinance update (agenda item 6e): Board waived first reading and set second reading for July 8, 2025 (vote 4-0). Staff described multiple changes — universal kill switches, PWC 100-foot setback, seasonal low-speed windows for paddleboards, 14-day mooring limit, updated pollution fines — and county counsel noted a typographical correction that staff will make before final adoption.

- Fleet services update and direction (agenda item 6d): Board provided direction to staff to review and revise fleet replacement/rate methodology, evaluate managed fleet-service providers, and return with a recommended agreement and implementation plan. The transcript records a motion to approve staff recommendations and staff confirmation that the board had direction to proceed; no formal roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript for provider selection.

No reportable actions resulted from the closed session the board held earlier in the meeting, county counsel said.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOS Regular Meeting 07/01/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Summary of formal actions taken by the Madera County Board of Supervisors on July 1, 2025, including consent calendar approval, CDBG closeout, fire-hazard designation, boating ordinance introduction and fleet services direction.","taxTitle","Madera County, California","taxId",4595,"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},6521091,"Board directs staff to pursue revised fleet procurement and managed fleet partner to improve vehicle replacement and costs",857,6713000,7570000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f&start=6713&end=7570","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f/thumbnail_6713000.jpg","/articles/6521091/Madera-County/California/Board-directs-staff-to-pursue-revised-fleet-procurement-and-managed-fleet-partner-to-improve-vehicle-replacement-and-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521091-0cfb830958904a9e531ee0b62702046b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921775&Signature=QcJxjbGc~wfZD-wXULl02UD37m8TlgtNw5-9sVC3CDJwlUNEiKVjk9d62UgcJB7dqXqgWt-rtYo~oaJSRuHKJ-qJNvERTmiI5IxsLgc~w7dBpa1hbeIhf-gFNHLLYIpvaTEsFT1TwlfG-qy59EIKynkE9MdcjaGzplQOYXifdY-zHUuq-nA0HedbccFyV-wgpBcdyjjjgKeE030JaryAtdvgGLONp28OtrADafylcMXscmecFob6riFFZfXWqO2S23jmasGsPBw72Qyg7Dbaq5OCd95dJzdKIUnOm~-Va5jKvEW-W-88NMSzRBKuFbbDnHoc~gySug7-AcJ9Bhb8OA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Madera County staff presented an overview of fleet services on July 1 and secured board direction to pursue a revised vehicle acquisition, leasing and liquidation strategy, including evaluating managed fleet-service providers.

Joel Begay of the County Administrative Office told supervisors the county manages roughly 440 active vehicles (excluding heavy equipment), with an average vehicle age of about 6.5 years and wide mileage variance by vehicle type. Begay said the county's fleet internal service fund is primarily mileage-based for rate-setting, which can undercollect for vehicle replacement when low-mileage vehicles remain in service for many years. Staff recommended shifting the replacement methodology away from 100% mileage-based formulas toward an approach that better aligns replacement charges with depreciation and maintenance costs.

Staff proposed evaluating managed fleet services providers that continuously monitor vehicle-market residual values and can advise optimal replacement timing. Begay noted county preference for American brands but recommended allowing other makes where final assembly points and resale value support better residuals, which could reduce total lifecycle costs. He said current challenges trace back to rate freezes during the Great Recession and to departments that buy vehicles outright using grant funds and thus do not contribute to a centralized depreciation reserve.

Board members expressed support for the concept, noting potential savings from higher-residual vehicles (for example Toyota models that hold resale value) and advantages from more frequent, warranty-protected turnover. Staff said one evaluation criterion will be whether a managed-provider model can preserve county ownership and access to state contract purchasing where desirable.

The board moved to approve staff recommendations and gave direction for staff to return with a recommended managed-fleet agreement and implementation plan. The record shows the board conveyed agreement and direction to proceed; staff said they will contact several providers, including Enterprise (which currently leases to the county under other arrangements), and return with a detailed recommendation.","County staff outlined a plan to change fleet replacement methodology and pursue a managed fleet services partner; the board gave direction to proceed with staff recommendations to review rates, consider residual value and evaluate vendor models that preserve county purchasing flexibilities.",{"_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},6521096,"Sheriff’s office introduces comprehensive boating ordinance update; board sets second reading",348,6362000,6710000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f&start=6362&end=6710","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f/thumbnail_6362000.jpg","/articles/6521096/Madera-County/California/Sheriffs-office-introduces-comprehensive-boating-ordinance-update-board-sets-second-reading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521096-ad6fb6034c95ff1f88aca47d2566f9f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921775&Signature=KLzJ5EvfihLhrfebYNXARkGVq6Wj-aDo3jZ0Dx2OhxyUUG4Il5OQXcAQbokjQ5LiEnDXQd6hrtjTewLpb-UMqgw4fyqvJoPY9VZVDztccw4nmxwdyXP8q2ql8eHLlELFxrHPLEjhidxOJWpWgKc44fTgn4vVjYUr0LWdVfxLmFLoFI79WGmECmguHCQqF1o0rlQhMI618-1yW2htKeHlpmamOWBIW-3tKV~hc0FYNTgJif7sn68-8EGceDOl8-qXEFWDuBXINmvsnBwzcf2z9pRND3NNyUpwiF14ZKlodEIqYUtt7nkhVnNZ1h4VmytaI0IF3hiSH6zabWkt1nVTSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Madera County Board of Supervisors on July 1 accepted introduction of a comprehensive update to the county’s boating ordinance and voted to waive the first reading and set a second reading for July 8.

A representative of the sheriff’s office described the first comprehensive update to Chapter 9.28 in more than two decades, saying the changes are intended to improve safety, environmental protection and enforceability on county lakes. Key changes highlighted by the presenter include a requirement for a universal kill switch on powered boats; a 100-foot setback requirement for personal watercraft (PWCs); seasonal low-speed zone rules for paddleboarders (restricted June through Labor Day, open the rest of the year); a 14-day mooring limit with a 100-foot setback from docks and inspections every 14 days; and revised pollution fines (staff cited $1,000 for a first offense and $5,000 for repeat violations) and cost-recovery for cleanup.

The presenter also said permit sales for launch permits will transition from county clerical sales to local businesses (e.g., Miller’s Landing, Forks Resorts, Bassett Water Sports) to streamline issuance and support enforcement, and that special-event permits will be extended to four-year recurring permits for annual events.

County counsel pointed out a typographical error in the draft ordinance (a missing symbol indicating feet in one subsection) and requested that staff correct the symbol before final adoption. The sheriff’s office representative said the change was identified and can be corrected.

After brief board discussion about outreach and notification, supervisors voted 4-0 to waive the first reading and set the second reading for July 8. Board members said staff will use traditional channels and the permit process to notify the public about substantive changes.","The board accepted introduction of an updated boating ordinance intended to modernize lake rules — including universal kill switches, personal watercraft setbacks, new mooring limits and updated fines — and set a second reading for July 8 following a 4-0 action to waive first reading.",{"_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},6521101,"Board adopts state’s very high fire hazard severity zones for local responsibility areas",91,6267000,6358000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f&start=6267&end=6358","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f/thumbnail_6267000.jpg","/articles/6521101/Madera-County/California/Board-adopts-states-very-high-fire-hazard-severity-zones-for-local-responsibility-areas","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521101-a77fe33beb99c36a2d61d83a201cf24f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921775&Signature=Pg72uWoee-UZew6CaWs6KI2xShyBMWUs~YRcPSkL1pGTVYQRC~GFKukE0REX~vC0juDkMIgb3O2POKv-2FSZop6AlYzpzwz0hLSCFa4uHx3TU8Vl-k1c55-DnlmF6DLwr6sDKFomXR4OTfA3D4gB032z~72-KSeqdNfFAW8XxN0ubJUEUpEqjPn~NWi8GQ-AW0iF7poxugYAjYe1E89RbXRo~yP4jgejWnRsdEGu402s3qSz461c9JW5a3uPJwTvAS~7F82RlzLbHi2NKiwOg5OfwnxmH90wDoo6USWinn5uwmXyvZo6~AYADlJt7uuV4KFJx1mf9pBpwlojb3R2JA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Madera County Board of Supervisors on July 1 adopted an ordinance designating the very high fire hazard severity zones (VHFHSZ) for the county’s local responsibility areas, using maps provided by the state fire marshal.

Jamie Vax of the Community and Economic Development Department told the board the map from the state Fire Marshal was sent to the county this spring and that the designation itself does not immediately change local construction standards. Vax said adopting the state-identified zones is one of the requirements to be listed on the state’s fire risk reduction community list, which can help eastern Madera County communities with insurance access and eligibility for certain grants.

Assistant Chief Jess Smith Home from the county’s fire/EMS organization attended the hearing and was available to answer questions, staff said. After brief discussion and no public comment, board members moved and seconded the ordinance adoption and approved it by roll call vote, 4-0.

Board members and staff indicated the measure is largely administrative — aligning county code with the state’s hazard mapping — and said the designation will improve access to insurance and state and federal funding opportunities aimed at reducing wildfire risk in more vulnerable, higher-fire-risk areas of the county.

The clerk recorded yes votes from Supervisor McCauley, Supervisor Rogers, Supervisor Wam Hahn and Chair Gonzales.","The Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 to adopt maps designating very high fire hazard severity zones for the county’s local responsibility areas based on the state fire marshal’s guidance, a step staff said will help eastern Madera communities qualify for insurance and grant programs.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":46,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6521106,"Madera County board approves closeout of CDBG-CV2 rapid rehousing grant for Rescue Mission units",224,6038000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f&start=6038&end=6262","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5114182-1c07dc72b70efbf0208e5ae7f7a05a2f/thumbnail_6038000.jpg","/articles/6521106/Madera-County/California/Madera-County-board-approves-closeout-of-CDBG-CV2-rapid-rehousing-grant-for-Rescue-Mission-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6521106-5089854cda03915dcdca087a6d0dc287/orig.mp4?Expires=1770921775&Signature=kpsBtxai4KPvjDZtKaPwoITVAwWVs4XLAddNsfbXSTSOlMj7Lpu99gVOtf6fHaMQ-7ox2eIbU-WhnSgs1wefTtRe6Yt0YZUxVGRStC16hYj6nEuTORZvwm~aGZQVeZy~A9Cj7WAS7IQy3KvGwxZ0KQKG-0217QSRnO8dYXX6-mFrsYDVk8MXNVSyOxe1tLd~HpABc27nHZX~3gJ2LhyBTKwZ4op0UN6HhRutw8PYwq8JfYA1R-b4o1m7FxtyeRb4cbqMZl9efiwtbpjGQ0pCDC-73Cn7qB1qb26-AWX1fEFdeIKPRG6iW~WoYYKYcWT~2JI7cfn~CfICPxe9x6~sGg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Madera County Board of Supervisors on July 1 approved the closeout of a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV2) rapid rehousing award that funded six manufactured modular housing units at the Madera Rescue Mission.

The approval, which passed by voice roll call 4-0, authorized county staff to submit the grant closeout to the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The action follows completion of construction and expenditure of awarded funds.

County administration staff said the county received a total of $1,441,142 for the project, including an original award of $843,595 in 2021 and an additional $597,547 in September 2024. A time extension granted in September 2024 extended the performance period through March 2025 and allowed project completion within the grant term.

Tristan Shamp of county administration told the board the units provide low-barrier triage housing for unhoused residents who do not have serious addiction or mental-health issues and that the Madera Rescue Mission is currently serving about 16 individuals in the new triage units. The Madera Rescue Mission will retain ownership, maintenance and operation of the units for a minimum of eight years per the ownership agreement and memorandum of understanding signed with the county in 2021.

Community Action Partnership of Madera County will assign a housing caseworker to provide ongoing case management and supportive services at the site, county staff said. Staff also said all awarded grant funds were expended during the project period and that the project met HUD’s national objective for construction of homeless facilities (as described by staff).

Board members made no changes to the staff recommendation and voted to approve the closeout and submittal. The motion was made and seconded on the dais; the clerk recorded affirmative votes from Supervisor Wam Hahn, Supervisor Rogers, Supervisor McCauley and Chair Gonzales.

The board did not identify any outstanding funding obligations tied to the grant; staff said the Rescue Mission will continue operating the site under the existing MOU and agreements.","The Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 to approve closeout of a federal CDBG-CV2 rapid rehousing grant that funded six modular units at the Madera Rescue Mission and to authorize submission of closeout documents to the state.","actionData","errors"]
