Staff briefs board on seasonal staffing, Bureau of Reclamation coring and Skyland campground status
Summary
Staff reported seasonal staffing is fully staffed, said the Bureau of Reclamation will conduct coring at the dam inlet with a barge the week starting 04/21, and noted California State Parks has taken back ownership of Skyland campground; bridge reconstruction prep work was also discussed.
Staff provided several operational updates. Kaye reported the district has largely completed its seasonal hiring and is transitioning summer staff: "We're about ready to transition out of winter staff and summer staff... We've fully staffed," she said. Staff also reminded the board that the Bureau of Reclamation will perform coring in the dam inlet and that "there'll be a large barge there for about a week starting 04/21," a short-term activity that will require coordination.
On facilities, staff said California State Parks has taken back full ownership and management of Skyland; the district no longer has access and future use plans are uncertain. Staff advised that while some prep work for the bridge reconstruction will occur in spring, the principal construction phase is scheduled to begin in August, requiring further coordination with contractors and public-notice planning.
Why it matters: Seasonal staffing affects service capacity for summer programs; the Bureau of Reclamation work and bridge construction require temporary coordination and public notifications; state decisions about Skyland affect campground access and local recreation planning.
