The Board of Supervisors reviewed county funding needs during a budget workshop, in preparation for next month's mid-year budget review.

The Board of Supervisors decided not to spend $25,000 on an outside legal opinion about the cannabis equity grant program, and held firm against the First Amendment Coalition's plea to do away with an ordinance charging staff time for public records.

The Board of Supervisors discussed the health plan deficit, the growing costs of the jail construction project, and the value of county parks.

At the first meeting of the new year, the Board of Supervisors learned that new estimates for building the jail are more than $10 million higher than the original. The project expected to be done more than a year later than originally anticipated, largely due to delays at the state level, according to the contractor.

"Never, ever, ever have we ever found any of that in our water.”
