The meeting included presentations on pet adoption, service dog recognition, food safety awards, recovery month, and the fiscal year 2025 audit. The board also discussed and approved responses to a grand jury report on foster youth, adjusted airport parking rates, and accepted a financial report. Public comments highlighted concerns about unlicensed food vendors in the Delta. Consent Calendar - Items 6–41 were approved unanimously (4‑0) with a brief discussion on Item 10 (HVAC replacement at RCC Buildings). Supervisor Hume inquired about the timing of the design contract relative to the upcoming report on the future of the carceral facilities (CCC). Director of General Services Josh Green explained that the design work is at a critical juncture but does not preclude changing direction after the report. The consent calendar passed without additional public comment. Public Comments & Testimony - Martha Esch (Lock Bed and Breakfast owner) spoke during off‑agenda public comments. She reported that unlicensed food vendors (ice cream, chicken, ribs, hot dogs) have been multiplying in the Delta region since the pandemic, operating without refrigeration or licenses, and negatively impacting her restaurant business. She also noted that the Lock Management Association has not held valid elections since 2018. Her two‑minute comment was concluded by the chair. Discussion Items - Adoptable Pet Update (Item 1): Annette Bedsworth (Sacramento County Animal Care) introduced Thumbelina, a 10‑month‑old Catahoula available for adoption. She reported that Freddie, featured at the last meeting, was adopted quickly. Updates included the first “Barks and Books” day where students read to shelter dogs, and a vaccination event planned for September 19 at Supervisor Kennedy’s Fun Fair, aiming to vaccinate 300–400 dogs at no cost to the county (vaccinations sponsored by Petco Love). Supervisors praised the program. - Recognition of Joanne Broush (Addendum): Supervisor Kennedy presented a recognition for Joanne Broush’s leadership in fundraising and volunteer coordination to rebuild Castle Park in Folsom. Broush raised $175,000 from individuals and secured a total of $425,000 in contributions toward the $1.1 million park rebuild. Approximately 1,500 volunteers contributed 6 days of work. Broush thanked her board, the Folsom City Council, donors, and volunteers. - National Service Dog Month (Item 2): A resolution was presented recognizing September as National Service Dog Month. Kendra Clark, a volunteer puppy raiser for Canine Companions for 14 years, spoke about the life‑changing impact of service dogs and the need for more puppy raisers and breeder caretakers. - National Food Safety Month (Item 3): Jania Monastero and Rolando Villarreal presented the resolution. They highlighted that Sacramento County maintains foodborne illness rates below the state average. The 2025–2026 Food Safety Award of Excellence was given to 525 businesses; one from each supervisorial district was highlighted in a video (Sacramento Natural Foods Co‑op, Bodhi Bowl, Chick‑fil‑A on Madison, Chang’s Mongolian Restaurant, Tokyo Stop Sushi and Grill). Supervisors shared personal experiences with the Environmental Management Department. - Recovery Month 2026 (Item 4): Behavioral Health Director Ryan Quist introduced Sharon Jennings, a member of the Sacramento County Speakers Bureau, who shared her story of recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. Jennings celebrated 38 years of sobriety (since June 15, 1988) and credited 12‑step programs and therapy. She now serves as chair of the Adult and Aging Commission and as a senior senator with the California Senior Legislature. The board presented the resolution. - SHRA Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (Item 42): Kay Junta (SHRA Assistant Director of Finance) and Mandy Merchant (CLA) presented draft audit results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The audit received an unmodified (clean) opinion. One significant deficiency was noted (related to the financial close process), down from a material weakness the prior year. Single audit findings dropped from five to zero. Total net position increased by $35 million. Supervisor Hume asked about the presentation of combined versus separate city/county figures; staff explained the difference. The report was received and filed. - Airport Parking Rate Adjustment (Item 43): Doug McDonald and Sherry Thompson (Department of Airports) proposed a one‑time market adjustment upon opening the new Parking Garage 2, raising garage daily rates from $21 to $28, daily lot from $14 to $19, and economy from $12 to $14. Thereafter, a $1 increase per year for four years starting January 1, 2028. A voluntary parking reservation system was also proposed (rates not to exceed noted levels). The board praised the new parking guidance system and the planned valet/concierge service. Motion passed 4‑0. - Response to Grand Jury Report on Foster Youth (Item 44): Melissa Lloyd (Deputy Director, Child Family and Adult Services) presented the board’s draft responses to the 2025‑26 grand jury report. The report made findings and recommendations on placement, technology access, information sharing, CSEC reporting, community advisory board reporting, strategic planning, and staff training. The board largely disagreed with or partially disagreed with many findings, citing existing practices and legal constraints (e.g., foster youth bill of rights, state licensing rules). Supervisors Kennedy, Hume, and Desmond criticized the grand jury’s process and lack of subject matter expertise. The board’s responses included: agreeing with positive findings about welcome homes and sheriff’s office partnership; partially disagreeing on placement for exploited youth; wholly disagreeing on cell phone access (citing harm reduction and legal rights); wholly disagreeing on information sharing (stating it already occurs). The board voted 4‑0 to approve the responses and forward them to the presiding judge. - Supervisor Comments (Item 46): Supervisor Kennedy requested staff to work with the City of Sacramento and WellSpace Health to develop a plan for continuing the use of the SOCT/Safe Stay tiny homes (state‑funded) after grant funding ends, given the valuable infrastructure.

The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) Board of Directors met on September 18, 2026, at 15:37:43 UTC. The raw transcript labels the meeting September 17, 2026, a local-date discrepancy; no agenda or minutes were provided. The meeting included a closed session, approval of a consent calendar with one item pulled, an executive director's report, an information item on the Upper Yolo Bypass study, and one public comment. Closed Session - The board went into closed session under Government Code Section 54956. - One board member stated a recusal from the closed-session discussion. - No reportable action was announced; the board reported nothing. Consent Calendar - Item 6 was pulled and considered separately: Resolution No. 2026-073, SAFCA v. Meritaj Homes of California, Sacramento Superior Court Case No. 23CV013286. No public comment was heard; the item was approved. - The remaining consent items (1 through 5 and 7 through 9) were approved together, including the adequate progress finding and an extension of the security agreement noted by the executive director. Executive Director's Report - Natomas Basin Project: substantial earthwork, slope flattening, utility relocations, and sewer work continue; the full closure of a portion of Garden Highway has been pushed to next year, while lane closures continue through next year. - American River Common Features: an access solution was established with the Corps, the city, and American River Flood Control, including emergency bollard access to the levee; sod placement is making the site greener. - Sacramento Weir: foundation work for the north abutment, bridge deck reassembly, stilling basin forming/rebar/pour, and fish passage wall construction are progressing. - Folsom Dam Raise: after proof of concept, a pause or contract termination is possible; staff are coordinating with federal sponsors and officials in Washington, D.C., and the security-agreement extension is intended to maintain work through the fall while pursuing additional funding. - Staff highlighted that the pump station is expected to be ready for the upcoming winter storms and tied this to the approved adequate progress finding. Upper Yolo Bypass Feasibility Study - Information Item - Melanie Sassier of SAFCA presented. The study builds on regional planning efforts since the late 1990s, and expansion has been recommended as the most economical and hydraulically beneficial path. - The study is cost-shared by non-federal sponsors (SAFCA and the board) along with DWR: $13.9 million over 5.5 years, more than halfway complete. - The federal process now requires 35% design and a Class 3 cost estimate before funding decisions. - The Corps' draft plan/report is out for public review, with fact sheets and outreach materials distributed. Staff mentioned two public meetings, including one held September 2. - Two alternatives were studied; the tentatively selected plan has a smaller footprint, reduces impacts to the Velve mitigation bank, a wetland mitigation bank, existing utilities, and productive farmland, and provides regional flood risk benefits. Drainage improvements to a pump station would be needed. - Outreach has included briefings with Yolo County, RD 1600, ranches, the basin foundation, a landowner, and other interested parties in upper Elkhorn; additional briefings and a Yolo County Board of Supervisors conversation are planned for late October. - Timeline: the project remains in a four- to five-year study phase, followed by authorization and funding, then 65%, 95%, and 100% design before construction.

The Committee on City Services, chaired by Councillor Ed Flynn (District 2), met at 10:08 AM on September 18, 2026, for a hearing on Docket 0773, an order to discuss the status of the City of Boston's curbside food waste program. The docket was sponsored by Councillors Gabriella Coletta Zapata, Sharon Durkin, and Louis Gen, and was referred to the committee on April 8, 2026. Administration officials presented on the curbside program, Project Oscar drop-off bins, the waitlist and capacity, and composting infrastructure. No votes were taken. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public testified. The Chair said public testimony would be taken at the end of the hearing or possibly throughout, with a two-minute limit per speaker, but no public testimony was offered. Discussion Items - Opening remarks: Councillor Coletta Zapata said Boston has made meaningful progress on food waste diversion and that the hearing was meant to examine what is working, who still lacks access, and what it will take to scale up. Councillor Durkin said she uses the curbside program herself, freezes her food scraps, and praised the Friday driver, Henri. She stressed the importance of properly sealed bins to address pest-control and public-health concerns, and called for language access and expansion to communities of color, including Chinatown, the Leather District, the South End, and public housing. - Administration presentation: Officials reported that Project Oscar, launched in 2014, provides 24/7/365 food-waste drop-off bins. About 15 to 20% of collected food waste is taken to a North Shore composting facility. The program currently has capacity beyond the existing waitlist. Officials said biweekly pickup cuts transportation in half and described freezing, secondary bins, and Project Oscar drop-off as containment options between pickups. They also discussed the difficulty of siting composting facilities near dense residential areas and the need to prepare for state regulations taking effect in 2028. - Councillor Q&A: Councillor Coletta Zapata asked about transportation changes, the 20 Project Oscar bins, bin cleanliness, contamination reports, and resident-only use of Project Oscar. Councillor Durkin asked whether the issue is density rather than coverage, whether facilities have enough capacity, and whether the city could provide centralized pickup and send food waste from different neighborhoods to different end users based on facility capacity. She also raised pest control in Chinatown and the need for targeted education. One councillor noted the Project Oscar webpage showed a bin in East Boston but none in Mattapan and questioned why the number of bins should be capped at 20. Chair Flynn noted that September 18 is POW/MIA Recognition Day and that he would briefly step out for a City Council Plaza ceremony. Key Outcomes - The hearing was informational; no votes were taken. - The administration agreed to provide a neighborhood-level breakdown of program enrollment and use. - The administration acknowledged the need to review Project Oscar bin siting/maintenance, targeted education, and infrastructure planning ahead of 2028 state rules. - An absence letter from Councillor Pepén (District 5) was read into the record.

The Kearney Planning Commission met at 9:00 a.m. in Council Chambers, 18 East 22nd Street, Kearney, Nebraska. Chairperson Dave Malone presided; a quorum was present. Member Melissa Scott-Pandorf was absent. The commission approved the August 21, 2026 minutes and all land-use items requiring hearings; no public testimony was offered. Opening and Minutes - The Open Meetings Act notice was announced, and roll call established a quorum. - The commission approved the August 21, 2026 minutes; Baker and Dakin abstained, and Scott-Pandorf was absent. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke at any of the public hearings. - For Rezoning No. 2026-18, staff reported receiving two phone calls: an adjacent property owner asked why the property was being rezoned and noted it had been a nuisance property in the past but that they had no current issues; another caller misunderstood the map and thought their own property was being rezoned. Discussion Item: Rezoning No. 2026-18 - 1416 East 30th Drive - Applicant Mitchell W. Humphrey of Buffalo Surveying Corp., on behalf of owner KDIVER, LCC, requested a rezoning from R-1 (Urban Residential Single-Family, Low Density) to R-2 (Urban Residential Mixed-Density). - The property is Lots 19 and 20, Block 1, Sunny Acres Subdivision, plus abutting right-of-way. It contains a sixplex that has been vacant since 2017 and is nonconforming in R-1; it cannot be considered legally nonconforming because of the vacancy. Rezoning to R-2 would allow conversion to a maximum fourplex and would require landscaping and buffer-yard compliance. - Staff noted the rezoning aligns with the Future Land Use map and meets lot width/size requirements, but staff's formal recommendation was no recommendation, with notations that adjacent owners might oppose the change because the property had been zoned R-1 for 53 years and nearby housing to the southwest and north/west is single-family. - The commission approved Rezoning No. 2026-18 based on staff findings; all present members voted aye, with Scott-Pandorf absent. Withdrawn Application: Rezoning No. 2026-19 - 4310 Cottonmill Avenue - This application by Coy T. Clark, for owners Garett D. Pohlman and Monique J. Pohlman, was withdrawn by the applicant; no action was taken. Discussion Items: Subdivision Vacation No. 2023-04, Rezoning No. 2026-20, and Final Plat No. 2026-11 - Spruce Hollow West Fourth - Applicant Craig Bennett of Miller & Associates, on behalf of Matthew and Caroline Weber and DT Development, Inc., presented three related requests for property approximately 250 feet north of Country Club Lane and 60th Street. - The package would vacate Lot 1, Block 1, Spruce Hollow West Second; rezone approximately 2.3 acres from AG (Agricultural) to RR-2 (Rural Residential, Intermediate Standards); and approve the Final Plat of Spruce Hollow West Fourth. - The proposed final plat would create a one-lot subdivision of 6.363 acres with additional right-of-way dedication; the applicant described the overall tract as 6.82 acres. - No public water or sanitary sewer would be extended; lots would use private wells and on-site sanitary sewer. The development would extend a 24-foot-wide paved road. - Staff found the requests consistent with the existing Future Land Use designation (RE), compatible with surrounding land uses, and consistent with the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, and recommended approval of all three items. - The commission voted separately on each item, approving Subdivision Vacation No. 2023-04, Rezoning No. 2026-20, and Final Plat No. 2026-11; all present members voted aye, with Scott-Pandorf absent. Reports - Staff reported that the city council recently passed new data-center code regulations and approved a related conditional use permit; staff said the regulations position Kearney well for that industry. - The Nebraska Planning and Zoning Association fall conference, a one-day webinar, is scheduled next month; staff will send registration information. - Upcoming staff work includes airport-area rezoning and other residential and commercial code updates expected in late 2026 and early 2027. - Staff noted development review has slowed somewhat, cited the recent interest-rate increase as a risk for development, and said many residential developments are expected to come online in fall and spring. Key Outcomes - Approved minutes of the August 21, 2026 meeting. - Approved Rezoning No. 2026-18 for 1416 East 30th Drive (R-1 to R-2). - Noted Rezoning No. 2026-19 was withdrawn. - Approved Subdivision Vacation No. 2023-04. - Approved Rezoning No. 2026-20 (AG to RR-2). - Approved Final Plat No. 2026-11 for Spruce Hollow West Fourth. - The meeting adjourned after reports.

The Finance and Audit Committee met to approve prior meeting minutes, consider recommendations to the full board regarding external auditor engagement, approve revisions to two financial policies, receive the internal audit report, and review financial performance metrics including cash reserves, investment compliance, and operating results. All actions were approved unanimously. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes: The committee approved the minutes from the previous meeting by voice vote. Discussion Items 1. External Auditor Engagement (Forbus): Staff recommended engaging Forbus as the external auditor for the third consecutive year. The engagement is on an annual basis (not a three-year agreement) to allow flexibility. Forbus will perform the external audit, evaluate the PFC program, internal controls, and compliance, producing three to four opinions in two separate reports. A committee member expressed strong support for Forbus's past service. The motion to recommend Forbus to the full board passed unanimously. 2. Investment Policy Amendments: Staff presented minor wording changes and one substantive change: the authority discovered that a credit union account previously considered a pass-through account is actually a balance-holding account. To accommodate payroll automation, the authority will maintain approximately $100,000 in that account. The policy now includes a credit union leverage ratio disclosure (in place of tier one capital ratio) for monitoring credit union health. A tier one capital ratio for the Bank of New York was also added. The motion to approve modifications passed unanimously. 3. Debt Issuance Policy Amendment: The policy was revised to reduce the maximum useful life for debt-funded assets from 25 years to 20 years. This aligns the policy with actual practice for assets like boarding bridges, moving walkways, and baggage systems, which have 20-year lives. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Internal Audit Report (Maria): The internal auditor reported a single finding related to inventory tracking of disinfectant spray, noting the exceptional care taken by the storeroom manager. Overall audit results were clean. Additionally, ten IAA employees earned Six Sigma certification through a local woman-owned firm, including staff from procurement, audit, customer service, and concessions. The committee commended the detailed attention to operations. 5. Financial Performance Review: The director of finance reviewed key metrics: - Cash on Hand: 389 days of operating and debt service cash, and 527 days of total cash on hand (including reserves). This reserve level was demonstrated to have allowed the airport to operate through the COVID-19 pandemic without needing federal bailout. - Investment Compliance: All investments are in compliance with policy; investment earnings are expected to exceed budget by approximately $7 million, funding capital and airline incentives. - Operating Results (July Year-to-Date): Total revenue was $5.3 million favorable to budget due to higher-than-expected passenger activity. Operating expenses were $1.19 million over budget, partly due to $1.3 million reserved for the impact of Spirit Airlines' bankruptcy and $1.3 million in completed one-time investments. The debt service coverage ratio stood at 1.73, well above the 1.25 requirement. Staff noted they are forecasting a passenger slowdown in the second half of 2026, already incorporated into rates and charges projections. - One-Time Investments: The committee discussed the process for approving one-time investments from outperformance, which reduce future-year budgets. Examples included replacing a parking van and transferring select capital projects under $250,000 to the operating budget. 6. Future Agenda Items: The committee discussed: - A potential charter amendment to clarify the full board's role in approving the annual audit, with further refinement deferred to the November meeting. - The upcoming airline use agreement negotiation (current term ends December 2027). Staff proposed a five-year term (vs. the current three-year cadence), citing increased certainty around the baggage system and hotel. Negotiations are expected to begin mid-December 2026. A primer on the agreement structure was requested for new committee members at the November meeting. Key Outcomes - Motions Passed Unanimously: - Approve recommendation to full board to engage Forbus as external auditor. - Approve modifications to the investment policy. - Approve amendment to the debt issuance policy (asset life from 25 to 20 years). - Future Directives: The committee will review and potentially modify the committee charter at the November meeting. Staff will prepare a primer on the airline use agreement for new members. The committee will also discuss the next airline use agreement negotiations in November. - Informational: The committee acknowledged the airport's strong financial position, highlighted by 527 days of cash on hand and a debt service coverage ratio of 1.73.

All items were approved unanimously. Public Comments & Testimony No public comments were offered during the public hearing for the proposed land sale to the Town of Plainfield. Discussion Items Resolution 08-2026 – Early Termination of AAR Aircraft Services Lease Cindy Howard presented a termination agreement allowing AAR to vacate the Indianapolis Maintenance Center (IMC) by September 30, 2026, in exchange for a $1 million termination fee.

Real Estate Sale Agreement – Town of Plainfield Staff recommended selling 7.996 acres of land (underlying Air Tech Parkway East) to the Town of Plainfield for $122,500 per acre, totaling $979,510, based on an appraisal. The property lies outside the airport layout plan, so FAA approval was not required. No public comments were received. The board approved the sale. Lease Agreement – Shuttle Group LLC (Building 238) The board approved a new five-year land and building lease (Nov 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2031) with Shuttle Group LLC, the new shuttle bus operator for FedEx.

Change Order 4 – William Cirillo Plumbing The board approved a final change order for $321,098 related to the AOC server and HVAC right‑sizing project, which involved a new geothermal system. Unforeseen conditions during boring required additional work; staff will seek reimbursement from the design team.

Airfield Pavement Management Program – Kimley Horn A professional services agreement for $733,713 was approved to conduct a comprehensive pavement condition analysis, as required by FAA grant assurances every three years.
