DWR invoice 17A resolved; committee eyes $1.1M contingency and conservation easement timing
Summary
Dr. Upadhyay said invoice 17A with the California Department of Water Resources has been resolved and noted a contingency fund of about $1.1 million; the committee discussed that the conservation easement required by DWR is in contract but has no set timeline.
Dr. Pawan Upadhyay told the committee that "the invoice 17A has been resolved" and that he is in touch with the California Department of Water Resources about adjustments or using a contingency fund of about "$1.1 million," particularly after the Koker property matter.
Betsy Cawn asked whether a conservation easement had been created in compliance with the funding requirements for the Middle Creek Marsh project. Supervisor Sabatier said the easement is included in the contract and agreement with DWR but that "there is no specific timeline for placing that easement." The committee discussed balancing present maintenance and future implementation costs and indicated they may request moving funds between categories (for example, to property acquisition) if necessary to advance priorities.
