Chair urges meeting with state and county leaders to keep project on track
Summary
The Chair proposed convening county, water board and state legislators — including an assembly member and a senator — to explain the project, seek commitments and coordinate grants and financing ahead of critical deadlines.
The Chair said meeting with elected and agency decision-makers could help the district secure commitments and bridge funding shortfalls, describing outreach to Assemblyman Hart and recommending convening a group that included the senator, water board and county officials. "I think it's gonna help us go farther and faster in terms of, look, here's the deal. Here's where we need your help," the Chair said, urging a coordinated approach.
Members discussed who should attend and whether the meeting should occur before year-end or in early January because of holidays. Staff agreed to draft a concise agenda for the convening, identify decision-makers (for example, a water-board member who can speak to technical support) and present the agenda to the public committee before the convening.
The Chair emphasized public transparency and the need to show constituents that the district is actively working with partners to reduce costs and secure grants. The committee asked staff to circulate a draft agenda and to propose dates that balance urgency with holiday scheduling.
