Air Pollution Control District resolution
Roughly $25,000 is left in the state wood smoke grant, but the air district plans a September 21 workshop on redirecting AB 617 incentive funds to keep vouchers flowing — up to $10,000 for a heat pump for eligible low-income households.

Opposition to grizzly bear reintroduction bill
CSAC's CEO told the board the state budget includes only about a quarter of the money needed to implement Prop 36, and that he's pushing for $50 million for gray wolf mitigation — while opposing grizzly reintroduction (SB 1305). The board signaled it may write opposition letters.

Supervisor Hansen moved to keep Bob Nolan off the Integrated Waste Management Task Force over his harsh online criticism of the county. It sparked a free-speech fight among supervisors and sharp public pushback, ending with the seat left vacant.
