1. FY 2027 Work Plan Report Accepted for Board Consideration The committee voted unanimously to accept the FY 2027 Work Plan report ahead of Board consideration. It did not give final approval to the plan. Staff proposed funding certain demand-management and Integrated Implementation Strategy (IIS) tasks through sub-basin-specific Tier Two fees rather than basin-wide Tier One fees. The initial IIS work was proposed to be shared equally among four sub-basins that need to reach sustainability. Discussion addressed Eastside and the 180/400-Foot Aquifer alongside Langley and Monterey; proposed later project-development costs were weighted toward Eastside and the 180/400-Foot Aquifer. Staff said these allocations would not determine how future capital projects are funded. Committee members and public commenters questioned whether the proposed divisions adequately reflect benefits shared across sub-basins. A public commenter also questioned excluding staff time from Tier Two costs under Proposition 26.
