Top issues during term (20)
Opioid settlement funds for workforce programs
$1.5 million in settlement funds remains unallocated until at least November.
Social Services Fund shortfall
General Fund loan of up to $10 million, repayable by October 31, 2026 with interest.
Public Works Director appointment
About $17,144 per month in salary during the interim period.
County Vacancies and Recruitment
Jones Valley water emergency
Not specified in the agenda.
Renewal of audit services contract
Up to $54,600 over five years, starting at $8,500 a year, already budgeted.
Mobile home park rent increases
No direct county cost, but the policy could affect monthly housing costs for mobile home residents.
County support services agreement for the Air Quality Management District
No extra general fund cost — the deal just formalizes support the district already gets.
ALPR license plate cameras
Listed as no additional General Fund impact.
Sheriff equipment and staffing
Roughly $350,000 in combined equipment and staffing spending, much of it grant- or dedicated-fund supported.
Potential county litigation
Potential county defense costs if Curtis files suit naming elections employees.
Election certification for Congressional District 1 special election
The results could shift county spending priorities and budget decisions, so local taxes and services may feel different depending on who wins.
Filling vacancies in elected county offices (Measure F)
Special elections could cost the county money depending on timing.
County Counsel employment agreement fails
No salary change was proposed ($20,840/month), but the failed vote leaves his contract on existing terms with the 18-month severance question unresolved.
election voter guide
No direct financial impact is identified; the guide is a free informational resource for voters.
city council election fundraising
Donors are putting most of their money behind three candidates, which can buy more ads, mailers, and outreach—and tilt the race before most voters tune in.
election results delay
The delay itself shouldn’t cost most residents anything, though the county may face added overtime or staffing costs to finish the count.
election ballot counting delays
The delay likely means extra overtime, staff hours and administrative costs for the Registrar’s Office—plus a hit to public confidence that’s hard to price.
campaign finance violation
If it turns into a formal case, expect possible fines, legal fees, and more scrutiny on how his campaign spends donor money.
Non-profit Funding Requirements
Unknown — discussion item only at this stage.
