Bernie Norvell

Data center moratorium extension

No direct cost to taxpayers; the moratorium aims to head off future water, power and infrastructure burdens.

County Executive and Legal Leadership Appointments

Interim CEO salary set at $202,716.80 ($344,618 with benefits); counsel contract increased from $190,000 to $360,000.

Permanent County CEO appointment

Combined estimated annual compensation for the two positions is roughly $941,700 including salary and benefits.

1% Road Sales Tax Falls Short

Would have raised an estimated dedicated revenue stream for county road repairs had it reached the ballot and passed.

Labor Negotiations with County Employee Unions

A 3% COLA placeholder could cost millions annually; the county says it can't afford it, the union says the $30 million uncollected property tax says otherwise.

Behavioral Health Contracting and Mental Health Client Services

$19,206,356 in FY 2026-27 contracts, mostly Medi-Cal reimbursed; hybrid model could add county staffing costs.

First Quarter Budget Report and FY 2026-27 Budget Amendments

Resolution 26-079 adjusts current-year departmental spending and revenues; the 2026-27 preliminary budget will shape next year's services.

El Niño winter storm emergency

Flood fight materials are being staged from a DWR grant, but the state proclamation carries no funding, leaving costs on the county's general fund if damage occurs.

Sea level rise and coastal plan update

Could mean more applicants paying for professional studies when permitting coastal development.

Renewal of Climate and Tree Mortality Emergency Declarations

Meadow Farm code enforcement fee waiver

The county forgoes an estimated $9,000 or more in penalty fees.

Deteriorating county roads

Current funding is about $5.5 million a year against a $575 million total need; doubling funding could raise the average PCI to 64 over 20 years.

Bower Park Improvement Project Phase 3 Grant

$170,000 one-time; ongoing maintenance estimated around $100,000/year unfunded.

City of Ukiah proposed annexation and tax sharing

Roughly $150,000 estimated first-year loss; potential $12 million in road obligation savings disputed.

Public Ambulance Joint Powers Agreement

Financial details have not yet been presented.

Ukiah Area Trash Capture Devices

Estimated at $205,000, plus a $12,000 contingency.

Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKO) Program

The agenda does not state program costs, though the county would take on permitting and enforcement work.

Willits library refresh and ADA upgrades

About $4.1 million in Measure O funds redirected to the Willits branch; no general fund dollars involved.

Reynold's Highway bridge replacement over Outlet Creek

Project is 100% reimbursable through the Highway Bridge Program, including county staff time, with the local match covered by toll credits.

Performance evaluations of department heads

Department leadership performance can shape how well services like agriculture oversight and air quality enforcement run locally.
