Enhance services to the community by investing in County facilities and infrastructure; including roads, buildings, communications, and flood protection.
Summary of objective implementation status (achievements or progress over last year; significant delays or issues, etc.)
From 2021-2023 progress included: The Board approved the County’s participation in PG&E’s Sustainable Solutions Turnkey program, enabling energy and water audits, an Energy Master Plan, and a microgrid evaluation for county facilities. Current projects include studying the consolidation of solar panels and potential battery additions at Los Guilicos for sustainable power, implementing a microgrid at the Santa Rosa Veteran’s Building to reduce reliance on diesel during emergencies, and an operational 780kW photovoltaic canopy at the airport, which saves 13,400 lbs of carbon monthly.
In 2024, Sonoma Public Infrastructure (SPI) completed a seismic retrofit and frontage improvements for the Petaluma Veterans Building, enhancing its safety and resilience. Additionally, SPI established emergency-grade Wi-Fi across veterans buildings to support connectivity during critical situations and installed a backup generator at the Cloverdale Veterans Building to ensure reliable power in emergencies.
