  • Receive Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Report from Measure K Citizens’ Oversight Committee (video of presentation here, starts at 39:28).

There was also a Wheatland City Council meeting this week; the agenda is here.

I couldn’t attend the Board of Supervisors meeting because I was in Virginia for the first half of the week. The purpose of the trip was to meet with the General over Air Combat Command at Langley AFB and share why Beale, Yuba County, and the Sacramento region are the best choices for a new collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) mission.

After returning from Langley, my calendar included a Yuba Water Agency agenda review meeting, a TRLIA Feather River Setback Area Ad-Hoc Committee, and a SACOG Megaregion Working Group.

This week, community events on my calendar included the Yuba County Airport’s 75th Anniversary celebration, the National Pumpkin Weigh-Off (including the grower’s reception and the awards dinner), the Wheatland Vendor Fair, and a gathering to make yard signs in support of Plumas Lake school bonds (BCDEF)..

There are several other board meetings on my calendar this week, including a Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Transportation Committee meeting (agenda), a Three Rivers Levee Improvement Authority (TRLIA) board meeting (agenda), a Yuba Water Agency POD Committee meeting (agenda), and a NACo Transportation Committee.
