1. FY 2026-2027 Budget Approved at $1.9 Million — Member Agency Assessments Increase ~$250,000 The Board approved the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, which totals approximately $1.8 million in expenses plus a 10% contingency reserve (~$180,000). Member agency contributions rise from $1.7 million to $1.9 million year-over-year. Cost-sharing percentages for the domestic well program and monitoring network shifted based on updated pumping data, meaning individual agency contribution amounts changed — some more than expected. Growers whose agencies saw larger increases should check with their local agency for a breakdown.
