Bay Area wholesale water leader Art Jensen honored; BOSCA names Nicole Sankula as CEO
Summary
SFPUC and BOSCA representatives honored Arthur R. Jensen on his retirement for 18 years of regional leadership and introduced Nicole Sankula (named in the transcript) as the board‑selected CEO; SFPUC read a resolution commending Jensen’s service.
The commission set aside time to recognize Arthur R. Jensen, the long‑time chief executive of BOSCA (the Bay Area wholesale water organization named in the transcript) for his retirement and to hear introductory remarks from his successor, identified in the meeting as Nicole Sankula.
Art Jensen addressed the commission and reflected on decades of work with regional wholesale customers and SFPUC staff. He said it had been "a pleasure" to work with the commission and the wholesale agencies and described accomplishments in conservation and regional agreements. The commission’s general manager read a resolution commending Jensen for leadership that the text said spanned negotiations of the 2009 water supply agreement and long‑term system improvements.
Nicole Sankula, introduced by Jensen and identified in the record as having worked for the agency for 14 years, accepted the board selection and said she looked forward to continuing agency partnership with SFPUC staff. "I am thrilled with this opportunity," Sankula said, noting her prior involvement in water shortage allocation agreements and capital programs.
Commissioners offered personal remarks and thanks to Jensen; the commission read the resolution of commendation into the record. No formal policy action was taken beyond the ceremonial recognition and introduction.
