| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
| On July 27, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 21-98 proclaiming the existence of a local drought emergency. Drought conditions have persisted since that time and the drought emergency continues. On October 19, 2021, Governor Newsom issued a proclamation extending the drought emergency statewide and further urging Californians to step up water conservation efforts as the western U.S. faces a potential third dry year. The Board received its most recent drought update at the November 23, 2021, meeting. The Board will recieve the next drought update from staff at the January 25, 2022, regularly scheduled Board meeting. |
