From the meeting
The board was scheduled to approve Agreement No. 47981 for a seawater desalination feasibility study with CDM Smith Inc. The proposed term was 18 months and the amount not to exceed was $500,000.
This was an active study procurement on the October 13, 2026 agenda, so the project was still awaiting board action. The study can lead to future desalination planning, design, and environmental work.
