The Yolo County Board of Supervisors meeting on April 29, 2025, highlighted several key developments, including updates on local projects and tributes to community members who recently passed away.

During the meeting, the board discussed the progress of a groundbreaking project, with construction expected to continue until a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for September 2026. Additionally, plans for a new playground project were announced, which will soon be put out to bid.

The board also addressed the need for updates on the Community Corrections planning efforts related to Proposition 36. A brief presentation is anticipated in June to provide further insights into this initiative.

In a poignant moment, the meeting concluded with tributes to two individuals who made significant contributions to the community. Supervisor Barajas honored Corporal Albert Julio Estrada, a World War II veteran whose remains were recently returned home after 75 years. Estrada's bravery during the Battle of Tarawa was recognized, and he was laid to rest with full military honors.

The board also remembered Lina Hernandez, a beloved community advocate who passed away on April 14. Hernandez was instrumental in establishing the UC Davis Knights Landing Health Center and was recognized for her dedication to helping families navigate local resources. Her legacy as a community leader and advocate for accessible health services will continue to inspire those who knew her.

The meeting underscored the board's commitment to community development and honoring the contributions of its members, reflecting the values and spirit of Yolo County.
