Board records multiple unanimous actions including mosquito assessment increase and planning commission procedures
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the San Benito County Board of Supervisors approved the consent agenda and carried several formal items by unanimous vote, including a $15.78 per-parcel mosquito and disease control assessment, adoption of updated planning commission meeting procedures, and appointment of two supervisors to an animal-shelter ad hoc.
San Benito County Board of Supervisors on June 24 approved several routine and discrete measures, adopting the consent agenda and taking unanimous votes on a series of resolutions and appointments.
The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote, then adopted an updated annual mosquito and disease control assessment of $15.78 per single-family-equivalent parcel for fiscal year 2025–26 after a brief staff presentation and public hearing. The board later voted 5–0 to uphold the Planning Commission’s denial of a conditional use permit for a wireless facility in Aromas and directed staff to prepare findings supporting the denial. Supervisors also adopted amended planning-commission procedures and appointed Supervisors Curl and Sotelo to a joint county/city ad hoc to address animal shelter issues.
Why it matters: These actions set a new per-parcel assessment rate for mosquito control, preserve the Planning Commission’s land-use decision on a wireless facility appeal, update internal procedures that govern how the county’s planning commission runs meetings, and create an ad hoc for county–city coordination on animal-shelter operations.
Most important votes
- Consent agenda: approved (voice vote). No items pulled for separate action. - Mosquito and disease control assessment: motion to order levy at $15.78 per single-family-equivalent passed, roll call 5–0 (Kosmicki, Zenger, Sotelo, Curl, Velasquez — yes). - Appeal of Planning Commission denial (PLN-250040 — proposed wireless telecommunications facility, 358 Seeley Ave., Aromas): board upheld the Planning Commission’s denial, directed staff to prepare findings; vote 5–0. - Planning Commission meeting procedures: board adopted amended procedures and directed staff to add clarifying language about agenda flow; vote 5–0. - Animal-shelter ad hoc: board appointed Supervisors Curl and Sotelo to a county ad hoc to coordinate with the City of Hollister and local nonprofits; vote 5–0.
Other formal directions and staff referrals included staff instruction to return with legally defensible findings supporting the board’s decision on the wireless-facility appeal and staff work with the Clerk to set membership, meeting days and logistics for a newly directed ag zoning stakeholder committee (consensus direction). The board also received a substantive capital projects update from Public Works and accepted the presentation record.
Ending: The board scheduled follow-up work for staff (findings, committee logistics and member recruitment) and closed the meeting after the regular agenda finished.
