1. Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Project & Management Action Budget Approved — Over $12 Million in Planned Expenditures The board adopted the FY 2026/27 budget for projects and management actions. The largest line item is $7.7 million in transitional water payments to TID during the fiscal year, with a total of $10.2 million projected across the current and next reporting periods. Staff cautioned that the exact TID payment amount depends on modeling results not yet finalized, so the board will revisit the cash flow analysis in September 2026 — meaning project reimbursement timing/amounts for GSA-funded projects (budgeted at $1 million) may shift. Growers should be aware that replenishment water ($400,000) and MID transfer water ($550,000) costs are also now budgeted as direct GSA expenses.
