From the meeting
On November 24, 2026, the Board received an update on the El Nino Emergency first declared by Interim Chief Executive Officer Melanie Richardson on October 7, 2026. The item said Valley Water may need to procure and stage flood-fight supplies, remove sediment, vegetation, and debris, perform emergency repairs, and obtain materials and services for the 2026-2027 El Nino event. The Board was asked to determine by a four-fifths vote that the emergency action should continue under Public Contract Code section 22050.
Decision state: recommended.
