DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution recognizing April 2026 as National County Government Month in Solano County.
SUMMARY:
April 2026 marks the annual celebration of National County Government Month (NCGM), sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) since 1991. This initiative is designed to raise public awareness and understanding of the vital role counties play in delivering essential services and improving the quality of life for residents.
In 2026, National County Government Month takes on added significance as the nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of American independence, recognizing the long-standing role counties have played in serving communities throughout the country's history. Across the nation, more than 3,000 counties serve over 330 million residents, providing critical services that support healthy, safe and vibrant communities. Counties act as key intergovernmental partners, implementing local, state and federal programs that impact nearly every aspect of daily life.
In Solano County, departments and employees are committed to connecting residents with essential programs and services that support safer, healthier and more resilient communities. Residents benefit from a wide range of county services, including, but not limited to, access to healthcare, food and housing assistance, public safety, elections, infrastructure, behavioral health services, services for children and families, veteran support, and the justice system.
National County Government Month provides an opportunity to highlight these services and recognize the dedication of county employees who serve the public every day.
