District is completing installation of three stream gauges under a $250,000 state grant, with data expected to be publicly available by fall 2026. Sloughhouse RCD is considering withdrawing from the South American Sub-Basin GSA due to $10,000 annual and $24,000 GSP cost shares. Municipal Service Review required for district expansion is progressing through LAFCO, with the board approving an additional $8,000 for engineering work on boundary adjustments and legal descriptions.
The board rejected a $162,545 invoice for erosion repair costs, citing lack of communication and insufficient evidence that their dam caused the damage. Despite high costs, they approved a four-year audit contract for up to $50,000 to complete overdue financial reviews. A $250,000 stream gauge installation project is nearing completion, which will provide improved flow measurements and public data access.
