The Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency approved several formal items by roll call vote during the meeting:
- Direct-billing threshold: The board approved a $20 direct-billing threshold for low-value invoices. Staff said not issuing bills below $20 reduces administrative costs and the estimated revenue loss is de minimis (less than $1,000). The board adopted a resolution to formalize the threshold and index it for future increases. The motion carried by roll call with all voting members recorded as in favor.
- California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) grant agreement: The board adopted Resolution 2025-02 to enter into an agreement with CDFW for an interconnected-surface-water study. Staff described the grant as approximately $1,400,000 in round numbers. The resolution authorizes the general manager to enter the agreement and to proceed with related consultant procurement. The roll call recorded the motion as carried.
- FY 2024' 2025 budget adjustment: Staff presented a revenue-neutral budget realignment to reflect grant revenue from CDFW, to align contracted tasks (including West Yost transition services) with budget line items, and to fund an RFP for the interconnected-surface-water consulting work. The board adopted the corresponding resolution by roll call; staff emphasized no new funds were requested, only reallocation.
- Hansford Economic Consulting contract amendment: The board approved an amendment to Hansford Economic Consulting's contract to add $24,000 of available funds to continue fee-setting and billing support through the next round. Directors and staff said retaining Hansford would assist continuity during the administrative transition; the roll call recorded the motion as carried.
Votes and roll-call summaries were recorded in the meeting minutes for each item; each motion passed on the roll calls shown in the record. Staff did not report any failed motions during the meeting.
