San Bernardino County Chief Executive Officer Luther Snoke released a 2025 Year in Review video summarizing the county's achievements and program outcomes for the year, highlighting workforce gains, service deliveries and national recognition.
The overview—presented by Snoke and a county narrator—focused on metrics the county said show increased resident engagement and service reach. "Our social media engagement, well it grew by 51%," Snoke said, and he cited Workforce Development results: "Our Workforce Development Department, they helped 2,645 residents secure employment." The video credited county programs with opening doors to new careers and stronger financial futures for residents.
The video also itemized service-delivery figures and participation across county programs. Snoke said the Land Use Services Code Enforcement Team "removed nearly 500 tons of trash" through cleanups and illegal dumping removal, work framed as improving public safety and neighborhood appearance. He noted the Department of Aging and Adult Services' Older California Nutrition Program "delivered more than 1,000,000 nutritious meals to older adults," and gave participation figures for recreation and library programs: county regional parks welcomed more than 142,000 vehicle visits, the Big Bear Alpine Zoo drew about 180,000 visitors, and the County Library's Summer Reading Program engaged more than 33,000 readers.
An unidentified county narrator listed broader county accomplishments and recognized external awards. "These efforts earned 257 awards from the National Association of Counties, more than any other county in the entire nation for the fourth year running," the narrator said. The narrator also cited program highlights including hands-on work experiences for future employees, 92 children who found permanent homes, improvements in adolescent mental-health care, the rollout of emergency alerts to residents' phones, extended park hours, and the county's work tracking progress in reducing homelessness.
The video noted other actions and responses during the year: the county broke ground on a new animal shelter; expanded early voting locations; honored Bloomington veterans; described changes to nursing practices to expedite critical care; organized a two-day field trip for homeschooled future aviators; and conducted major storm-response operations in Highland and Oak Glen. Officials also convened business, government and community leaders at a "state of the county" event to discuss planning and shared priorities.
The year-in-review video framed the numbers and projects as the result of Board of Supervisors direction and the work of an approximately 23,000-strong county workforce. The county closed the presentation by thanking residents and expressing a forward-looking aim for 2026.
