Debt Committee composition change ahead of Sutter Pointe financing
Sutter Pointe has over $3.4 billion in interested investment but can't compete for most of it because firm utility delivery timelines can't yet be committed. Phase two focuses on infrastructure, an EDA grant, and landing mid-scale projects now.

The Board set up the framework for Measure G, the 1% sales tax on the November ballot: if it passes, the county and its two cities split the revenue under newly approved agreements. County keeps roughly $9.2 million a year for public safety and roads.
