DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt and present a resolution recognizing April 2024 as National County Government Month in Solano County.
SUMMARY:
April 2024 marks the 33rd anniversary of National County Government Month, sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) and established to increase public awareness and understanding of the value of the responsibilities vested in county government. Counties play a critical role in the lives of their residents by protecting and enhancing the health, safety and well-being of their residents in practical, cost-effective ways.
This year's National County Government Month theme is "ForwardTogether." ForwardTogether is about connecting, inspiring and leading - pillars of county government that build trust and drive towards solutions. Nationally, the people living and working in counties benefit directly from the programs and services that counties provide, including, and not limited to transportation and infrastructure, access to healthcare, the justice system, essential documents, election services, and much more.
In Solano County, department teams are committed to helping residents connect to the essential programs and services that help them live safer, happier, healthier, more fulfilling and vibrant lives. Solano County residents benefit from the work county staff provide, including helping them gain access to community healthcare clinics, recreational services, voting, mental and behavioral health services, public assistance programs, resources for families and children, benefits for veterans and access to programming and services as part of the criminal justice system - just to name a few.
