Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on March 24th featured several significant community recognitions and administrative approvals. The board honored Keith Goodrich upon his retirement from the Department of Waste Management and Recycling, celebrated Victoria Lazo’s 25 years of service with the security team, and passed resolutions designating March as Women’s History Month and April as Organic Waste and Food Recovery Month.
Major infrastructure and economic actions included approving an increase in the airport rental car customer facility charge from $9 to $12 to fund a new walkable consolidated facility and receiving a report on the California Capital Air Show, which generated an estimated $10.7 million in regional economic benefit. The board also accepted the 2025 General Plan Annual Report, highlighting progress in environmental justice, infill development, and housing element compliance.
Policy discussions were dominated by a new Illegal Fireworks Strategic Plan, which shifts to a deterrence-first model and increases penalties to a per-device fine of up to $10,000 in sensitive areas like the American River Parkway. Fiscal reports projected a $101 million structural deficit for the 2026-27 fiscal year, largely attributed to federal safety net cost shifts under HR1.
