1. San Francisquito Creek Flood Protection KPI Stays Intact — Joint Working Group Proposed Instead of Weakening Flood Commitment The board voted to maintain the current Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for Project E5 (San Francisquito Creek Flood Protection), which commits Valley Water to delivering 70-year flood protection for Reach 2 of the creek. Staff had originally proposed modifying the KPI. After significant public pushback — including letters from Palo Alto flood zone residents noting that the San Francisquito Creek Joint Powers Authority (JPA) recently lost its executive director and a project manager — the board instead approved sending a letter to the JPA proposing a joint working group of board members from both agencies to clarify Valley Water's technical, construction, and funding roles before any KPI changes are considered.
