Hidden Valley Lake CSD approves PG&E MIP grant agreement and several contractor awards in unanimous votes
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District Board approved a PG&E MIP grant agreement, authorized related loan paperwork and a letter to Trane, approved multiple contracts including a valve installation and a wastewater master plan, and reviewed the FY2026–27 draft budget. All motions passed 4–0 with one director absent.
The Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District Board of Directors met May 20, 2026, in the district boardroom and approved multiple administrative and contracting actions, including executing a MIP grant agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and several procurement contracts. The meeting convened at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
Board action centered on grant and capital planning. Staff presented the MIP Grant Agreement with PG&E and described financing and Cal OES reimbursement relationships; the board voted to execute the grant agreement, authorize General Manager Paul Kelley to sign related documents for an RCRC grant loan proposal, and execute a Trane letter to proceed. Directors also approved transitioning the district’s banking services to 5‑Star Bank, awarded a communications contract to Archer Public Affairs/Duran Kinst Strategies for up to $80,000 annually, accepted Piazza Construction’s $186,507 bid to install seven isolation valves, and authorized GHD to prepare a wastewater treatment plant master plan for $167,500.
Why it matters: the MIP agreement and contractor awards are intended to advance planned infrastructure improvements and to arrange financing and outreach capacity ahead of capital projects. Board discussion highlighted timelines, reporting and reimbursement requirements, and fiscal sustainability concerns as staff explained project phasing and budget implications.
Votes at a glance: agenda approval (Lieberman motion/Millerick second) — approved 4–0 (Metcalf absent); consent calendar including $483,196.81 in disbursements — approved 4–0; MIP Grant Agreement with PG&E and authorization for RCRC loan proposal and Trane letter — approved 4–0; banking transition to 5‑Star Bank — approved 4–0; communications contract to Archer/DKS (not-to-exceed $80,000 annually) — approved 4–0; Piazza Construction isolation valves contract ($186,507) — approved 4–0; GHD wastewater master plan ($167,500) — approved 4–0. Several items were discussed without action, including the draft FY2026–27 budget.
Next steps: the General Manager and staff are authorized to execute the approved agreements and carry out implementation tasks; the draft budget will return for further review in a subsequent meeting. The board received public comment but took no motions in response.
