The Alameda County Board of Supervisors took several votes on Nov. 18, approving minutes and the consent calendar items and adopting ordinance changes.
Key outcomes
- Minutes and consent calendar: The board approved a consolidated consent calendar and a mass motion covering a long list of items after public comment and a roll-call vote.
- Salary ordinance (item 62): The board waived the full first reading and introduced the County of Alameda Salary Ordinance for 2025–2026; after a roll-call vote supervisors present recorded aye votes and the ordinance was passed.
- County Fire Code (items 74 and 81): The board waived readings and adopted an ordinance repealing and replacing Chapter 6.04 of the Alameda County Ordinance Code to adopt the 2025 California Fire Code; the board also took the corresponding action as the Board of Directors of the Alameda County Fire Department. Roll-call votes were recorded as aye among supervisors present.
