In May, the board withdrew from the Solano Emergency Medical Services Cooperative (SEMSC) and considered a recommendation on establishing this LEMSA advisory committee.The goal of the advisory committee, he said, is to provide stakeholder input to enhance the EMS system in the county. Discussions before that organization would not include contractual discussions and financial matters.Staff provided the board with three options: an advisory committee, an emergency medical care committee, or no advisory committee. Of the six surrounding counties, Gammon said, four of them have Emergency Medical Care Committees, and two have advisory committees.The proposed committee would include. three hospital representatives, two trauma center physician representatives, one dispatch representative, two fire personnel, a community member, a behavioral health representative, an EOA 911 ambulance provider, a Vacaville Fire Department representative, and a Basic Life Support Interfacility Transport Representative. Staff members will include the County Health Officer, the EMS Medical Director and the EMS Administrator.Supervisor Mitch Masburn supported creating an Emergency Medical Care Committee as it would reflect the county’s unique EMS landscape, and made a motion to do so, which the board ultimately passed.In other action at the meeting, Supervisor Cassandra James offered a proclamation recognizing 707 Week.“707 Week is a community-driven celebration that honors the culture, creativity, history, businesses, and distinctive identity of Solano County and the residents who proudly call the 707 home, while promoting civic pride, economic vitality, tourism, and support for local businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs throughout the County,” the proclamation reads.the 707 area code, established in 1959, has become a regional symbol of identity and pride, according to the proclamation. 707 Week was established in 2025 with more than 20 events over eight days, garnering 1,800 attendees to support 73 vendors and small businesses.“It’s an opportunity to invest in ourselves in the county and in each of our cities,” James said.James said the planning committee is diverse, intergenerational, and comprised of members from communities across the county.“707 Week brings together residents, businesses, artists, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations, educators, and community leaders through cultural events, performances, networking opportunities, educational programs, volunteer activities, and civic engagement initiatives that strengthen community connections, foster inclusion and collaboration, and promote equitable economic opportunity throughout the County,” the proclamation reads.Also on the agenda Tuesday, Mashburn presented a proclamation recognizing July 19-25 as Probation Services Week.“Probation provides a cost-effective public safety strategy by supervising individuals in the community while connecting them to critical services such as workforce development, substance use treatment, mental health care, and education,” the proclamation reads.© 2026 The Reporter, Vacaville, Calif..
