Mendocino County Board of Supervisors Highlights Progress in Community Health, Public Safety, and Environmental Stewardship

At its September 23, 2025, regular meeting, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors acted on several important items designed to strengthen public health, support local services, protect the environment, and enhance community resources.

Key actions included:

• Promoting Public Health & Safety: The Board adopted a resolution directing Mendocino County Public Health to address the illicit sale and use of nitrous oxide through education initiatives and the development of a local ordinance.
• Investing in Parks & Community Resources: The Board authorized moving forward with the Bower Park Restoration and Improvement Project in partnership with MARZ Engineering, securing over $1 million in funding for park restoration and improvements.
• Advancing Education & Youth Resources: A new partnership between the Mendocino County Library and Mendocino Unified School District was approved to launch the “Student Success Card” Program, providing students with library cards that offer free access to online tutoring, academic resources, and digital learning tools. The Library also accepted grant funding for the Zip Books Program, expanding access to books for residents.
• Clean Energy & Infrastructure: The Board provided direction to create a countywide fee structure for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The plan will align with local competitor rates and will be revisited after six months of operation with cost recovery data, allowing prices to be adjusted as appropriate. This supports sustainability and convenient access for residents and visitors.

Mendocino County remains dedicated to fostering a safe, sustainable, and thriving County. Through these initiatives, the County continues to support its residents, protect the environment, and invest in the future of our communities.
