Board adopts two proclamations and accepts K9 donation; disbands PEG TV commission
Summary
The board proclaimed March 2026 as National Social Work Month and American Red Cross Month, accepted a donated patrol K9 and adopted a resolution disbanding the county PEG TV commission; library commission repeal was introduced and first reading waived.
The Calaveras County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted proclamations recognizing March 2026 as National Social Work Month and American Red Cross Month, thanking social‑work professionals and Red Cross volunteers for storm response and ongoing services.
During the public comment portion of the Red Cross proclamation, several volunteers described recent local shelter and preparedness work. The board also accepted a donation of a dual‑purpose patrol K9 and associated training valued at $18,300 from Friends of the Calaveras Sheriff’s Office; Sheriff Michelle Whiting introduced Deputy Christopher Rhodess and the new dog, Cairo, and the board approved the related budget adjustments.
As part of consent business, the board adopted a resolution to disband the PEG television commission after staff reported the commission had been inactive and the commission’s duties had been absorbed into county staff work. Separately, staff introduced an ordinance to repeal the Calaveras County Library Commission (ord. 254); the board waived first reading and the item will return for final adoption on March 24.
These items were routine on the agenda but drew gratitude from volunteers and staff and brief comments from supervisors.
Votes on proclamations, the donation and the PEG resolution were recorded as passed by voice vote.
