My Recent Activities
Tuesday was a Yuba Water Agency Board of Directors meeting. Due to our board chambers serving as a polling location, we met at the Yuba Water offices located at 1220 F Street in Marysville. Here are a few highlights from the agenda:
-
Approved a sponsorship for $5,000 to the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) for the 2025 Wild and Scenic Film Festival.

Amended the Yuba Water Agency’s Conflict of Interest Code and authorized staff to submit the amended code to the County Board of Supervisors for final approval.

- Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Transportation Committee. The agenda contains multiple items of interest including: approving the Engage, Empower, Implement Awards; receiving a presentation on the Northern California Megaregion Zero Emission Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Study; and discussion on the 2025 Blueprint: Draft Final Transportation Project List and Performance.

Additional items on my calendar included a SACOG Transportation Committee agenda review, a touch-base lunch with Yuba County CDSA staff, a SACOG lunchtime discussion on the regional prosperity strategy, a Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) Transportation Ad-Hoc committee meeting, and a meeting and tour of the Yuba County Airport with Kratos to explore opportunities for them to do some activities at the airport.
This week, community events on my calendar included the Salvation Army Rock the Red Kettle Fundraiser (Facebook event) and the Plumas Lake Community Cleanup (Facebook event). The community cleanup was a huge success and I was glad to help constituents unload their vehicles for most of the event.
