PUBLIC COMMENT Mike and James expressed concern that the pumps were down for so many days during the heaviest of rains. Dave and Jason advised that many of the pumps are 2200 volts and so require special generators. The District will be looking at changing the voltage on the pumps and possibly switching the centrifugal pump to diesel power. Dave advised that the pumps are tested regularly and that the 250-horsepower pump at Ryde has a motor that is a few years old. Jason noted that water drains from the north to the south part of the island. A district elevation map was presented and an overview of the pump stations and 2020 study. Nick inquired about whether or not the pumps were run prior to the rain to lower the water level. Dave advised that yes, he did test all of the pumps and started running them about four to five days at the end of December, prior to the storm. Joey noted that the Island is sinking. He estimated that it has gone down about 3 feet in 50 years. ENGINEERS REPORT The report was distributed to those present and is included as part of the minutes. MBK is looking into grants that may help with power supply and standby generators. Eight of the highest priority sites were repaired this summer. There are six remaining sites that are awaiting permits. Budget – next meeting; adjust for flood year pumping costs; engineering NEW BUSINESS 2023 Budget Suzanne distributed a proposed budget. The trustee advised that the electrical costs need to be increased for a flood year. MBK also needs to update for 2023 projects. Daggert Financial Engagement Letter Robert motioned that the engagement letter with Daggert Financial be approved. Les seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Emergency Repairs Update: The Board delegated authority to the Trustees and District Engineer to perform emergency repair work pursuant to Public Contracting Code Sections 22050 and 29096 on January 6th. Pursuant to the Emergency Declaration, the District engineer provided an update on activities and expenditures to date under this resolution. Immediate action was necessary to address the damage at these public facilities, in order to prevent further damage or catastrophic loss in the on-going storm events. With the forecasts for continued high water and forecast for continued rains and flooding, the District needed to act immediately to prevent further damage or risk to public safety. The immediacy of the situation did not allow time to submit the work for public bidding. The District engineer and Trustees authorized emergency patches and repairs, intended to provide temporary relief at the damaged facilities and to prevent further risk to public health and safety. Long term repairs will be the subject of separate action by the Board of Trustees and will be put out for competitive bidding when the emergency subsides. Where possible, District personnel has performed informal bid solicitation. Renewal of Emergency Declaration Jason motioned that the emergency declaration be extended. Motioned was seconded by Robert. Motion passed unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 10:25 am.

OFFICE OF RECLAMATION DISTRICT NO 3 GRAND ISLAND PO BOX 1011 WALNUT GROVE, CA 95690 MINUTES Daniel Wilson called the meeting to order at 9:36 am The regular meeting of Reclamation District #3 was held June 15, 2023 at 14160 Grove Street and teleconference. Present were: Trustees: Daniel Wilson, Robert Bromell, and Jason Culbertson Absent: Les Lyman and Joey Sanchez General Manager: Dave Robinson Secretary/Treasurer: Suzanne Daggert Others: Mike Kynett and Tina Anderson from MBK Engineers; and Gil Gosio, River Delta Consulting; Steven Lamb, Central Valley Flood Protection Board; John Bliss of SCI Consulting APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES Jason moved to approve the agenda and minutes from the prior meeting. Robert seconded the motion. Motion approved unanimously. TREASURER’S REPORT The report was distributed to those present and is included as part of the minutes. Jason motioned to approve the Treasurer’s report. Robert seconded. Motion approved unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENT None MANAGER’S REPORT Dave is waiting to hear back from the County of Sacramento and CalTRANs regarding reimbursement to the District for the mowing completed. Vegetation and equipment maintenance is underway and going well. The Ryde pumps are running more than usual. The temporary housing has been removed from the levee. Dave noted that the locks on the gates are no longer being cut. ENGINEER’S REPORT The report was distributed to those present and is included as part of the minutes. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Daniel advised that Emily Papalardo is now a partner at DCC Engineering. NEW BUSINESS Central Valley Flood Protection Board (“CVFPB”) Steve Lamb from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board made a presentation about the permitting process for levee encroachments. The presentation package is part of these minutes. He advised that the District have several pipes or other encroachments which have been in place for 70 or more years. Mike noted that in the 1940s and 1960s the law changed making the District levees part of federal project levees. At that time the Army Corps of Engineers (“Corps”) inspected the levees and approved the encroachments in place, even if they weren’t permitted. If there is an existing permit or paperwork with the Corps then replacing a pipe with the same size and location does not require a new permit as it is considered maintenance and the CVFPB is able to approve the work. Any changes to existing structures, including increase in pipe size or location, requires a permit and review by the Corps. Daniel noted that the District has pipes that are no longer in use. The most cost-effective way to deal with these would be abandon the pipe in place and seal it with grout rather than remove it. Dave noted that these pipes impact the levee rating and the District is required to show progress in resolving the issues. Mike noted that Title 23 is in the process of being updated. Steve advised that the process began in 2015 and that most of the changes align with the Corps standards and also provides clarity on encroachments that could be approved and permitted (e.g. pools). Gil advised that helpful information is available in the levee log on the CVFPB website. Proposition 218 Election SCI Consulting provided a proposal to District for a proposition 218 election and it is included as part of the minutes. John noted that the initial data research and feasibility analysis would provide the trustees with the new proposed assessment for each parcel. Robert motioned to engage SCI to prepare the initial data research and feasibility analysis. Jason seconded. Motioned passed unanimously. Meeting was adjourned at 10:30 am.

Justin motioned to approve the Treasurer’s report. Les seconded. Motion approved unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENT None MANAGER’S REPORT Pumps are all in working order. Pipe 2 and Pipe 3 have cam locks installed to direct the water to the centrifugal pump. The pipe from the 60 hp lift pump at Ryde to the canal is leaking. The quote for a replacement pipe is about $30,000. The drainpipes under Highway 220 need to be inspected and possible repaired or replaced.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT None NEW BUSINESS Revision of F&M Warrant Funding Policy Suzanne advised that the County has been struggling to fund warrants in a timely manner. Historically they were funded in about 3 days so F&M Bank was okay to advance the funds to the district on the date of deposit. That funding is now taking a month or more and so F&M is no longer advancing the funds. Daniel motioned that the District open an interest bearing account at F&M Bank. Jason seconded. Motion passed unanimously. California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Suzanne advised that the district could adopt the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting. The benefit to this is that if the district utilizes registered contractors, it can enter into contracts of up to $200,000 without going through the public bidding process. The trustees asked Suzanne to add the adoption to the January agenda. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at Noon.

OFFICE OF RECLAMATION DISTRICT No. 3 GRAND ISLAND PO BOX 1011 WALNUT GROVE, CA 95690 MINUTES REGULAR & SPECIAL MEETING Daniel Wilson called the meeting to order at 9:00 am. The regular meeting of Reclamation District #3 was held May 19, 2022 at 14160 Grove Street and teleconference. Present were: Trustees: Daniel Wilson, Robert Bromell and Jason Culbertson, Absent: Les Lyman and Joey Sanchez General Manager: Dave Robinson Secretary/Treasurer: Suzanne Daggert Others: Michael Kynett and Tina Anderson from MBK Engineers; Rebecca Smith, Legal Counsel; Angeles Caliso and Zubair Dosu from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MINUTES Jason moved to approve the agenda and minutes from the prior meeting. Robert seconded the motion. Motion approved unanimously. TREASURER’S REPORT The report was distributed to those present and is included as part of the minutes. Suzanne recommended a $1,300,000 warrant be issued to cover the construction costs to date and ongoing expenses. Jason motioned to approve the Treasurer’s report. Robert seconded. Motion approved unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENT None OLD BUSINESS The Board discussed the status of remote participation in meetings. On a motion by Robert, seconded by Jason, the Board issued findings under AB 361 that the Governor’s State of Emergency providing for enhanced remote participation in public meetings in light of COVID- 19 was still in place; that the use of these remote meetings supported the health and public safety of the Board and its landowners; and that therefore remote participation under AB 361 would continue to be offered for the subsequent meeting. MANAGERS REPORT Dave has been inspecting the levee behind the cutoff wall for seepage as has MBK. At this time there is no seepage. The Morgans are moving forward with replacing the pipe and expect to have the work completed at the end of May. The Compastis have engaged DCC Engineering for the project. Galindo Construction is conducting bathymetry on Steamboat Slough. They will present the findings and a cost estimate to complete a survey of the entire district should the trustees find the information helpful. ENGINEER’S REPORT The report was distributed to those present and is included as part of the minutes. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT None NEW BUSINESS Removing Tresspassers Increased homeless encampments and activity has been noted in the district. Some homeless individuals have become militant due to the recent Supreme Court ruling which prohibits criminalization of homelessness. Rebecca Smith will provide guidance and policies that other districts have in place so that the district can adopt a policy. In the interim, she advised that levee districts are able to remove the anyone from the levee, with or without the assistance of law enforcement, but that they cannot be jailed. She further specified that when requesting an individual to relocate, that they be told that they must leave as the levee is a flood control work and public safety structure and that their presence undermines the safety of the structure. Further clarification was also provided confirming that the adjacent landowners own the levee, but that the reclamation district and CalTRANs have easements, and that private property owners are able to remove anyone from their property for any cause. The Water Code also allows reclamation districts to control access to levees. Central Valley Flood Protection Board Angeles Caliso and Zubair Dosu from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (“CVFPB”) joined the meeting as well. Angeles noted that there is no current enforcement action, but that the CVFPB has identified six pipes which have been identified as past their useful life or are non- permitted construction and encroachments. That information will be provided to MBK. Angeles will also provide information about accessing the online database that has all of the pipes in the district and their status. Pamphlets were left so that information could also be shared with landowners. Enforcement action comes in three phases. The first is a notice to comply, followed by a notice of violation and finally a cease-and-desist order. Mike Kynett advised that if a pipe is abandoned and left in place, that an Army Corp of Engineers permit 408 is required, but that multiple pipes can be submitted on one permit. The trustees requested further information and expressed a desire to establish a policy and program to assist property owners with the permitting requirements and potential cost share available to the District, but not to individual owners. Meeting was adjourned at 10:55 am. NEXT REGULAR MEETING: Thursday, June 16, 2022.
