Les motioned to approve the Treasurer’s report. Robert seconded. Motion approved unanimously.
MANAGER’S REPORT
Dave noted that there have been about 12” of rain since January 1 st . The pumps are all running
currently. Pump test are being performed today to measure how many gallons are being pumped
per minute. The current estimate is that about 120,000 gallons per minute. The estimate of the
total gallons to be pumped is 6 billion gallons.
The river is up about 8 feet.
Some areas have seepage along Steamboat Slough. No boils or other concerns.
Pump Station 1
The station lost power for a total of two days. The two 150 horsepower pumps have power and
are running. The current estimate is that they are pumping about 40,000 gallons per minute.
There is also a 250 horsepower centrifugal pump that only runs during high water
Pump Station 2
PG&E power was out for five days. A generator was put in place after 3 days. The station has
two 150 horsepower pumps which are estimated to pump 30,000 gallons per minute.
Ryde
The station lost power for three days. The station has one 250 horsepower pump which pumps
about 30,000 gallons per minute. There is also a 60-horsepower lift pump.
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.

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.

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.

NEW BUSINESS
Nitrogen Water Sampling – Dan Port advised that two recent water readings near the Ryde pump
on Highway 220 (pump station 3) showed nitrogen levels above the allowed limits. The
Conservation District has been in conversation with coalition members to ascertain what the
likely response from the California State Water Resources Control Board might be. The current
feedback is that the Control Board is unlikely to issue a violation letter or require a nitrogen
management plan. However, the Conservation District wants to be proactive and understand
what caused the increase and how to prevent reoccurrence. The hope is that one of the trustees
would be available to meet with consultants.
PUBLIC COMMENT

MANAGERS REPORT
Dave distributed two encroachment permits which require trustee signatures. The Department of
Water Resources is planning to install a bio-acoustic fish fence, monitoring equipment and
navigation aides on the Georgianna Slough. The second permit is for borings for the proposed
North Delta Salinity barriers on Steamboat Slough.
Dave continues to follow up with the Morgans about the pipe replacement. They expect that the
pipe repair will be completed within a month.
Dave is continuing discussions with Gil Labrie and Compasti about the pipe repair.
Tina followed up with DWR regarding the inspection report. She advised that the mowing on the
levees was completed earlier than usual to prepare for the Army Corps of Engineers inspection
and so that by the time DWR conducted its inspection the vegetation had grown back resulting in
the unfavorable inspection rating.

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.

FSRP Cutoff Wall Project
See engineers report.
SGMA Compliance
Linda Dorn would be the representative for all areas in the County which do not have a GSA in
place with the responsibility for SGMA Compliance. She noted that the American Subbasin
proposal was rejected by DWR. The District cannot maintain its GSA status and be represented
by the County. The County is currently developing a fee structure to cover the cost of
representation and annual reporting and five-year plan updates. Any fees would be billed through
property taxes and a 218 election process. Now that the District has withdrawn from the NDGSA,
this process would need to happen again.
The Solano Collaborative is currently in the process of updating a Memorandum of Understanding
amongst the GSAs and agencies within the Solano Subbasin. The goal is to have it completed
within the next two months. The Collaborative has funding through January 2022.
Invite Linda to meet again in the fall to discuss a water budget.

CLOSED SESSION
The trustees approved a response from the District’s legal counsel to the NDGSA Withdrawing
Member Liabilities notice.

MANAGER’S REPORT
The mowing on the canals is almost completed.
Drainage is becoming an issue as homeowners near the new pumps are making changes that flood
the neighbors. Discussions have been had with Andrea Clark, legal counsel, and Linda Dorn
regarding district liability for homeowner acts and regarding the definition of ground water and
seepage contained in any SGMA plans. Andrea has recommended keeping the definitions of
drainage vague.
The trustees requested that MBK look at what adding additional drainage or a pump at Galindos
above 220 or perhaps replacing the centrifugal pump and adding capacity at Ryde.
Gil indicated that a new Proposition 218 election would need to be held to make any changes to
the benefit assessment.
The trustees requested that Dave research adding GPS to the district vehicles or district cell phones.
