From the meeting
The Board considered whether to continue the El Nino emergency declared on October 7, 2026. Valley Water said it may need to procure flood-fight supplies, remove sediment, vegetation, and debris, perform emergency repairs, and obtain services and materials to prepare for severe weather. This is not a normal bid process; it is emergency purchasing authority tied to the 2026-2027 El Nino event.
Any work would be limited to emergency response needs.
