The board approved Resolution 2026-01 by roll call vote, which sets the groundwater extraction fee at $16.31 per acre-foot for the upcoming fiscal year and authorizes the fee to be collected via the county tax roll. Staff recommended the increase — consistent with the previously adopted rate study — to fund repayment of member agency loans and to build a reserve against potential cost overruns on upcoming monitoring well construction. This rate will appear on property tax bills for parcels within the WMA.
