How to spend $1.1 million in behavioral health housing funds
The county gathered resident input in August on how to use $1.1 million in state Behavioral Health Services Act money for housing interventions. Supervisors will hear findings, receive the Local Behavioral Health Board's recommendations, and steer staff on funding priorities.
Farm Worker Housing Efforts
The county is applying for $300,000 in state CDBG funds to study migrant farmworker housing needs and sites in unincorporated Yolo County, a first step toward affordable housing for farmworkers.
Clark Pacific Facility Expansion
The county's biggest land-use decision of the day converts 76 acres of prime farmland next to Clark Pacific's Woodland plant to heavy industrial use, adding up to 500,000 square feet of buildings and about 180 jobs. Farmland loss and traffic impacts are officially unavoidable, but 3-to-1 conservation easements and green conditions were added.
El Macero Country Club residential conversion
Three new home lots will be carved from the golf course — about one acre rezoned from Parks and Recreation to Residential Low. The rest of the 170-acre course keeps its designation, and the club stays a golf course.
Gibson Solar Farm Permit Extension
The board extended the solar farm's use permit by a year and finalized the Williamson Act partial cancellation, clearing the way for construction of a 100-acre solar and battery storage project between Esparto and Madison that will sell power to Valley Clean Energy.
