WRWC posts document library, updates regional plan schedule and project work
Summary
Staff reported a nearly finished digital document library, a new regional plan posting and public review schedule through March 17, 2027, and progress on wastewater regionalization and education outreach programs.
WRWC staff told commissioners on Aug. 19 that the commission's document library has been digitized and posted to the updated website, and that draft chapters for the regional water management plan will be posted for extended public review.
Kim Rton said staff digitized nearly 400 historical documents and added a searchable documents library to the commission website so consulting firms and the public can locate and request records. "We digitized all of those documents, and they're available on our website," Kim said, adding that some sensitive facility plans remain behind a controlled access process.
Staff also reviewed progress on several projects: the Treky/Truckee Meadows "tomorrow" dashboard now displays water-quality indicators; the wastewater regionalization feasibility study has completed Phase 1A and is progressing through Phases 1B/1C with contractor presentations and regional workshops planned; and Sierra Nevada Journeys expanded water education events this year, reporting roughly 38 family STEM nights and attendance tallies that staff said reached about 3,500 people in aggregate.
On the regional water management plan, staff extended the public review schedule to allow agency and public comment: draft chapters will be posted and receive public comment through March 17, 2027, with a planning commission review in January and WRWC adoption targeted for March. Staff said they expect to post redline-versus-clean chapters on the website to make changes transparent to reviewers.
Commissioners asked about records retention and off-site storage for original paper copies as staff moves toward a paperless archive; staff said originals are being stored in off-site warehouse storage and that disposal would follow retention schedules and public-notice processes.
Next steps: staff will continue uploading draft plan chapters, add a comment-submission button to the website, prepare infographic materials for outreach, and report back to the commission at future meetings.
