Board waives second readings, adopts multiple ordinances including rooftop solar permitting and salary amendments
The Alameda County Board of Supervisors on the meeting's agenda waived second readings and adopted a set of ordinances and code amendments across multiple departments.

Key adoptions announced during the meeting included:

- A Community Development Agency ordinance amending portions of the Alameda County General Ordinance Code related to land use and planned development zones (second reading waived and ordinance adopted; motion announced as passing with 4 ayes, 1 excused).

- Salary ordinance amendments (items 14, 15 and 16) to amend provisions of the 2014–2015 Alameda County salary ordinance; each was moved, seconded and announced as adopted (motions reported with '4 ayes, 1 excused').

- A Public Works ordinance adding Section 480 to Chapter 15.08 of Title 15 to provide an expedited, streamlined permitting process for small residential rooftop solar energy systems (item 27); the board waived the remainder of the second reading and adopted the ordinance (recorded as passing with 4 ayes, 1 excused).

- Traffic code amendments to chapters on county highways and state highways of Title 6 relating to vehicles and traffic (item 28); the board waived the second reading and adopted the amendments (motion recorded as passing with 4 ayes, 1 excused).

Additionally the consent calendar (items 34–63) was moved and approved en masse without objection earlier in the meeting.

Votes were typically recorded on the meeting floor as 'motion passes' or '4 ayes, 1 excused'; the public record in the transcript notes approvals but does not include roll‑call vote names for every item in the excerpted text.
