My Recent Activities
Tuesday was a Yuba Water Agency Board of Directors meeting. Here are a few highlights from the agenda:
- Certified the final environmental impact report for the New Bullards Bar Dam Atmospheric River Control Spillway Project.
- Approved 50% cost share grants to Hallwood Irrigation Company for ditching lining projects.
- Reviewed financial statements and details for General & Power Systems Fund for October 2024 and approved budget revisions.
I had several other board/committee meetings on my calendar this week, including:
Additional items on my calendar include meetings with a Whatland City Council member and an OPUD director, a touch base with Yuba County community development, an NCWA executive committee, a Yuba County special BOS meeting (agenda), a discussion about the Feather River Setback Area recreational master plan, and a conversation with Sac State about a regional grant opportunity.
Thursday was an OPUD board of directors meeting (agenda), and Wednesday is a Yuba County Planning Commission meeting (agenda). I didn’t attend either due to conflicts.
This week, community events on my calendar included volunteering as Santa at Rio Del Oro Elementary, helping the Salvation Army pack food boxes, and volunteering as Santa on the Fire Truck for Plumas Lake.
Looking ahead to this week (and the next two)
My calendar is very light for the next two weeks due to the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, but things do pick up a bit after New Year’s. I’ll spend the time relaxing and celebrating with friends and family.
Monday the 23rd is a Yuba Water Agency Special Board of Directors meeting (agenda). After that, nothing related to Yuba County or Yuba Water Agency is on my calendar until Monday, January 6th, at noon, when we have a special Board of Supervisors meeting (agenda will be posted here). The meeting will be short and includes swearing in the supervisors elected/re-reelected (House, Fuhrer, Bradford) for our four-year term (2025-2028). We will also vote to select our chair and vice chair for 2025.
On January 7th I’ll have a regular Yuba Water Agency board meeting (agenda will be posted here) and then on January 8th I’ll have a Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) board meeting (agenda will be posted here), and on the 9th a National Association of Counties (NACo) Transportation Committee meeting.
