The Yolo County Board of Supervisors convened on June 3, 2025, to address several key issues, including public comments on groundwater management and the approval of the consent agenda.

The meeting began with all supervisors present, followed by a public comment session. Fritz Dertz, a local resident, urged the board to consider a moratorium on drilling groundwater wells in the Hungry Hollow focus area. He highlighted ongoing issues with permits in the region and expressed concern over the potential for circumventing regulations. Dertz offered his assistance in developing a moratorium if the board chose to pursue one.

Following public comments, the board moved to approve the consent agenda. Supervisor Sandy Vixie recused herself from item 25 due to a conflict of interest involving a potential contract with Rise Incorporated, where her fiancé serves as executive director.

County Administrator Mike Webb recommended adjustments to item 24 on the consent calendar. He suggested that the board approve recommendations A and B but hold off on recommendation C, which involved delegating authority for a one-year extension of an agreement. Webb emphasized the need for further diligence in reviewing potential contract sources before proceeding.

The board ultimately approved the agenda with the noted recusal and exclusion of recommendation C. The meeting proceeded without any introductions or honorary resolutions presented at this time.

This meeting reflects ongoing efforts by the Yolo County Board of Supervisors to address local concerns regarding groundwater management and ensure proper oversight in contract approvals. Further discussions and actions regarding the proposed moratorium and contract evaluations are expected in future meetings.
