During the Yolo County Board of Supervisors meeting on July 22, 2025, a significant resolution was presented that addresses the pressing issue of nuclear disarmament. Supervisor Frerichs, alongside other board members, introduced the resolution, which aims to honor the victims of past nuclear bombings while urging national leaders to take actionable steps toward reducing the threat of nuclear war.

Genevieve Zianne Coborn, representing the Davis Committee Against Nuclear Weapons, expressed gratitude to the board for prioritizing this resolution amidst a busy agenda. She emphasized the importance of local communities voicing their concerns about nuclear threats, especially as the world approaches the 80th anniversary of the nuclear age. Coborn highlighted that Yolo County's resolution aligns with similar initiatives across the country, showcasing a collective call for action against the potential dangers of a new nuclear arms race.

In addition to the resolution, Coborn announced an upcoming educational event scheduled for August 6, where local elected officials will be recognized for their efforts in nuclear policy advocacy. The event will feature keynote speaker Naomi Eggle, a nuclear policy professor at the University of Georgia, and is open to the public, further encouraging community engagement on this critical issue.

Following this discussion, the board moved on to other agenda items, including a public hearing regarding delinquent residential and solid waste accounts. Marissa Jeweller, the Integrated Waste Management Division director, provided a staff presentation on the annual review of these accounts, indicating the board's ongoing commitment to managing community resources effectively.

The meeting underscored Yolo County's proactive stance on global issues while also addressing local administrative matters, reflecting the board's dual focus on community welfare and broader societal challenges. As the board continues to navigate these discussions, the implications of their resolutions and policies will likely resonate within the community and beyond.
