The Sutter County Board of Supervisors presented a gold resolution honoring volunteer firefighter Daryl Taylor and observed a proclamation recognizing May 3–9, 2026 as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week.
Board members read highlights of Taylor’s three-decade career, noting his 1995 appointment as a volunteer firefighter, promotion to engineer in 1996 and to volunteer lieutenant in 2009. "He has been an invaluable member of Sutter County Fire Services," a staff reader said during the presentation. Supervisors praised Taylor as a mentor who "would literally listen to everyone, and he would work on the issue and find a solution." Taylor, who said he was deployed to Iraq from 2003 to 2005, thanked the board and said he expects to remain active with volunteers and serve as treasurer for the department.
During the same portion of the meeting, the board proclaimed May 3–9 as Correctional Officers and Employees Week, noting the duties correctional staff perform "24 hours a day, 365 days a year" and thanking them for maintaining safety and supporting reentry. An undersheriff who spoke praised correctional staff for meeting standards in Title 14, Title 15, Title 24 and BSCC oversight; supervisors emphasized the technical and often unseen nature of the work.
No board action beyond the presentations was required. The board moved on to scheduled business after the tributes.
