The board approved Resolution 2607 to move $4,500,000 from Fund 17 (special reserve) to the general fund to process an AB 218 settlement stemming from a claim dating to the 1970s. Staff said it is a one-time transfer and that the district is pursuing possible insurance recovery; Fund 17 would remain near $20 million after the payout.

Commissioners approved moving a roughly $139,370.10 ambulance repair request to the budget committee and discussed insurance recovery and possible litigation after an accident that severely damaged an ambulance chassis; county leaders said they expect risk management to pursue insurance reimbursement.
