1. Empire West GSA Rejected Additional Board Representation Amendment The proposed amendment to add two board seats representing the 70% of underrepresented areas within South Fork Kings was denied by Empire West Irrigation District.

If resolution cannot be reached, the GSA may need to consider breaking up the joint powers agreement structure.
