Board to decide on transportation tax initiative for November ballot

The board will consider certifying the Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act initiative petition and decide whether to place it on the November 3, 2026 ballot or refer it for a fiscal impact report. A first hearing is set to amend Information Technology Services fees. The board will also discuss restructuring the county's solid waste program toward an exclusive franchise model with mandatory collection.

✓ Decided: Board refers transportation initiative to staff for fiscal impact report

The Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to refer the 'Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act' initiative to county agencies for a report on its effects, including fiscal impact, rather than placing it directly on the November ballot. The Board also approved the consent agenda, with two items pulled for separate votes. A proposed ordinance to allow microenterprise home kitchen operations failed on a 2-3 vote.

And it's pretty significant. And if you're not aware as well, 2 days ago was Fresno County's birthday. We turned 170 years old on the 19th of April. And so this whole year is very significant. And so there were individuals who came forward and said, we want to plant a tree here at the county just to represent, to commemorate this 250th anniversary. And as Public Works got involved in this process, this project, they of course said, well, if we're going to plant a tree, it's got to be a big tree. And of course, if you look at the tree that's been planted, it's an oak tree. And what says strength more than an oak. So with all of that, I'm going to turn it over for some additional comments. >> Good morning, Chairman and members of the board. Mary Lou Valencia, Principal CEO An …
