The Madera County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on October 7, 2025, addressing several key agenda items and community concerns. The meeting began with a discussion regarding food distribution, where a participant expressed concerns about the adequacy of food assistance. The board directed staff to connect the individual with the Department of Behavioral Health, which oversees contracts related to food services, including Meals on Wheels.

Following this, the board moved to the consent calendar, where item 7x was pulled for further discussion. After confirming there were no public comments on the consent calendar, the board voted unanimously to approve the remaining items, with a 5-0 vote.

The meeting then transitioned to discussion items, starting with the appointment of Matt Treiber as the new County Administrative Officer, effective October 7, 2025. Shanika Dixon, the Director of Human Resources, acknowledged Supervisor Rogers for recognizing the contributions of Officer Raymond Barrantes, who had been part of the community for nearly two decades and left behind a family of three children.

The meeting concluded without further public comments, and the board expressed gratitude for the community's engagement. The next steps include finalizing the appointment of the new administrative officer and continuing to address community needs through appropriate departmental channels.
