Plumas County board approves routine grants and equipment purchases, denies claim in closed session
Summary
On March 10 the board approved consent items including a library summer-meal grant, a CHP cannabis tax grant application for the sheriff, a two-year audit contract, two Behavioral Health supervisor positions, and a risk-management vehicle purchase; it also approved Caltrans’ plain-concrete sidewalk repair and denied a claim in closed session.
At its March 10 meeting the Plumas County Board of Supervisors approved a set of routine departmental and fiscal items and took several administrative votes.
Among the approvals: a state "Lunch at the Library" grant was authorized to support free summer meals and enrichment at county library sites; the sheriff's office was authorized to apply for a California Highway Patrol cannabis tax fund grant (approximately $300,733.59) to support impaired-driving education, equipment upgrades and training; the board approved a two-year external-audit services contract to complete fiscal-year audits; two Behavioral Health supervisor positions were added to the department’s allocation (no general-fund impact); and the board approved payment of a $542.63 non-contract invoice to a local auto-glass shop to repair a county vehicle damaged by sliding ice under solar panels.
The board also accepted a Caltrans offer to replace failing stamped red sidewalk strips in downtown Quincy with plain concrete at Caltrans’ cost and declined to add county funds for a stamped like-for-like finish. Caltrans said it would perform immediate ADA and tripping-hazard fixes; county planning staff noted historic context but the board prioritized safety and cost.
Risk Management and OES received approval to purchase a new half-ton pickup (not to exceed $48,972.06) from the fiscal-year budget to replace a 27-year-old vehicle with mechanical and safety concerns.
After reconvening from closed session, the board reported it denied a claim filed by Todd Johns (received Feb. 20, 2026).
