The Yolo County Board of Supervisors used its Aug. 21 meeting to present several honorary resolutions and recognitions.

Meals on Wheels Yolo County: Supervisor Don Saylor Frerichs presented a resolution commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of Meals on Wheels Yolo County. Joy Cohen, executive director of Meals on Wheels Yolo County, joined the board to accept the recognition and described the organization's mix of home-delivered meals, Cafe Yolo dining sites, wellness checks and other services that serve older adults across the county. The presentation noted the program serves more than 1,200 seniors and credited county investments for enabling an institutional meal-production kitchen in Winters that also supports regional medically tailored meals.

Friends of the Woodland Public Library and Friends of Libraries Week: The board proclaimed October 2025 as Friends of Libraries Week in Yolo County and recognized the Woodland Friends of the Library. The proclamation highlighted the Friends' fundraising for programming and equipment, children's materials distribution at the county fair (700 books cited by the incoming Friends president) and volunteer contributions that support lifelong learning in Woodland.

Naming of Jesse Ortiz Early Childhood Center: The board and representatives from the Yolo County Office of Education recognized Dr. Jesse Ortiz for decades of service to local education and named a new early-childhood education facility the Dr. Jesse Ortiz Jr. Center. YCOE officials described the center's origin from Head Start, ESSER and ARPA funding to replace lost infant/toddler slots after the COVID-19 pandemic and noted the county previously authorized $400,000 in ARPA funds in 2022 to expand early-childhood capacity. Doctor Ortiz accepted the recognition and thanked teachers, administrators and family.

These items were ceremonial; presentations and public acknowledgments were made and the board recorded the resolutions and proclamations in the meeting record.
