The following highlights key projects and initiatives approved at the most recent Board of Supervisors meeting, that directly impact the Fifth District.
Item #18: $1M Grant to Fund Zero-Emission Mobile Medical Clinics
San Bernardino County will receive up to $1 million from the South Coast Air Quality Management District to support Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in purchasing two zero-emission mobile medical clinics and retiring an older gas-powered unit. This will allow the County to complete the project after prior delays, expand access to healthcare services in underserved communities, and reduce vehicle emissions through cleaner, more sustainable mobile care.
Item # 39: Underground Utility Work Coming to Bloomington
San Bernardino County has authorized Southern California Edison Company to move forward with underground utility work along portions of Valley Boulevard (Cedar Ave to Spruce Ave) in Bloomington, helping relocate overhead power lines underground to improve safety, reliability, and neighborhood appearance.
Item #41: $707K Road Improvement Project Approved for Old Waterman Canyon Area
San Bernardino County has awarded a $707,358 construction contract to Matich Corporation for the Old Waterman Canyon Road and Other Roads Project, which will improve about 2.7 miles of roadway through resurfacing and repairs. Funded by Measure I with no cost to local taxpayers, construction is expected to begin in April 2026 and be completed by May 2026, helping enhance road safety and driving conditions for residents.
Item #46: Del Rosa Drive Sidewalk Project Moves Forward
San Bernardino County will work in acquiring 11 properties along Del Rosa Drive to build new sidewalks, curb ramps, and accessibility improvements between Pacific Street and north of Del Rosa Avenue. The project will improve pedestrian safety and ADA access.
Item # 53: Kessler Park Master Plan Expanded to Include Dream Field II
San Bernardino County has approved additional design funding for the Kessler Park Master Plan Phase 1 Project, increasing the contract with KTU&A by $225,908 to support the new Dream Field II scope.

Item #55: Construction Begins on Bloomington Sewer Expansion Project
San Bernardino County has awarded a $2.25 million construction contract to All Cities Engineering, Inc. for the Bloomington Sewer Expansion Project, which will take about 190 days to complete and install new sewer lines along Marygold, Locust, and Linden Avenues. The project will allow about 150 properties to transition from septic systems to modern sewer service, improving public health and infrastructure in the community.
