The board passed consent items and approved continuing Metropolitan's water standby charge for fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28 (Item 8-3). The Executive Director of the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster, Kelly Gardner, acknowledged the board's "diligent efforts in adopting a budget that responsibly addresses current and future needs" and the "painful reality of recouping costs associated with system maintenance." Stakeholders should track standby charge decisions and other board actions that may affect overall agency finances.
