1. The Advisory Committee could not reach consensus on a single project portfolio to recommend to the Board — both Portfolio 3A and Portfolio 4 remained under discussion. After extensive deliberation, the committee was unable to unite behind one preferred portfolio. Portfolio 1 (the largest and most expensive option) was discussed as too costly and several members wanted to drop it, while Portfolio 3A (a smaller Brackish Groundwater Restoration Project with direct delivery, ~$1.07B capital cost) and Portfolio 4 (low-cost projects without a seawater intrusion fix, ~$612M capital cost) remained the primary focus of debate. The committee did not adopt a single preferred portfolio; members discussed both 3A and 4 but ultimately stated they could not reach consensus and would forward key considerations to the Board (no formal vote recorded). Staff stated they will bring their own recommendation to the Board regardless of the committee's outcome.
