My Recent Activities
Tuesday was a Yuba Water Agency board of directors meeting. Here are a few highlights from the agenda:
-
Receive an update on the South County Infrastructure project and consider approving the Chair’s formation of an Ad Hoc Committee for South County Infrastructure and nomination of Directors Bishop, Bradford, and Vasquez to serve on the committee. (watch the video of the presentation here, starts at 1:30)
I had several other board and committee meetings on my calendar, including:
- Yuba Water Agency Project Operations and Development (POD) Committee (agenda)
- Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Land Use and Natural Resources (LUNR) Committee (agenda) [There were two items I think the public will be most interested in from this meeting: 1) 2025 Blueprint (Regional Land Use & Transportation Plan) Update and 2) Transportation Funding Overview. The PowePoint for both of these items and the video recording of the meeting can be found here]

I also stopped by Beale AFB to renew my access pass.
This week, community events on my calendar included a fundraiser for the Yuba Sutter Foodbank and 1st Friday at Beale AFB.
