Transient Occupancy TaxBoard of Supervisors13d agoJune 9, 2026
Board Advances Plan to Raise Hotel Tax from 5% to 12% for November Ballot
Board directed staff to prepare a November 2026 ballot measure increasing the county's transient occupancy tax from 5% to 12%, bringing it in line with regional peers like Sacramento (12%) and Napa (13%).
Why it matters: Solano County's 5% TOT is the lowest in the region; the increase would generate ~$58K in new annual revenue from unincorporated-area lodging without directly taxing county residents.

Board Adds Data Centers to Proposed Ballot Measure Modernizing 30-Year-Old Energy Tax
Board directed staff to prepare a November 2026 ballot measure updating the 1994 wind turbine tax, adding natural gas and solar taxes, and — at Supervisor Mashburn's amendment — including data centers.
Why it matters: The current wind tax, unchanged since 1994, generates only $56K/year versus $124K if it had been inflation-adjusted; the expanded measure could generate $225K+ annually from energy companies profiting from county resources.

BiblioCommonsBoard of Supervisors13d agoJune 9, 2026
Library Previews $161K BiblioCommons Platform for Modern Catalog and Multilingual Website
Library staff presented a proposal to replace the temporary 2020-era website with BiblioCommons, offering Amazon-like search, multi-language translation, and unified catalog-website experience at $161K in year one.
Why it matters: The current website was always temporary; BiblioCommons would add Spanish, Tagalog, and Chinese translation and has driven 20% increases in material requests at other library systems.

Community Investment FundBoard of Supervisors13d agoJune 9, 2026
Board Allocates $365K in Grants as NAMI Solano Warns It Will Close Without Emergency Funding
Board approved $365K in CIF grants to five agencies for food security and behavioral health, while NAMI Solano warned it faces closure after losing all Prop 1 transition funding; a $250K emergency fund was identified as a potential lifeline.
Why it matters: The Prop 63 to Prop 1 transition is creating critical gaps in mental health services; NAMI Solano, the county's only free grassroots mental health support organization for 41 years, may close, while larger national organizations with substantial budgets received the grants.

Economist Reports Resilient Job Growth While Warning of K-Shaped Inequality and Infrastructure Gaps
Dr. Robert Eiler presented the 18th annual economic index showing ~1,280 new jobs per year projected through 2030, with healthcare leading growth, but flagged rising inequality and the need for infrastructure investment.
Why it matters: The index shows healthcare and manufacturing as the county's growth engines, but supervisors stressed that without a comprehensive infrastructure inventory — water, power, broadband — the county cannot plan for economic growth or attract investment.

Gun Violence Awareness Month Declared as Survivors Urge Support for THRIVE Act Mental Health Legislation
Board declared June as Gun Violence Awareness Month; survivors and advocates shared personal stories and promoted AB 2247, the THRIVE Act, which would bring free mental health services to Solano County youth.
Why it matters: Solano County is named as one of five pilot regions for the THRIVE Act (AB 2247), which has passed the Assembly and would provide free mental health services to youth impacted by gun violence.

Why it matters: The Youth Commission has built a durable annual tradition connecting history education to youth empowerment in Suisun City.

Board Honors Women Veterans with Annual Recognition Day Proclamation
Board adopted a resolution declaring June 12 Women Veterans Recognition Day, featuring remarks from veteran Marissa Hanan and Solano County veteran services staff.
Why it matters: Women comprise 18% of active-duty forces, and Solano County's proximity to Travis AFB makes veteran recognition a matter of local identity and service delivery.
