1. ID-8 Consolidation Grant Application Approved Despite Community Opposition The Board voted 3-2 to approve Resolution 2026-03, authorizing General Manager Macy to sign and execute agreements with the State Water Resources Control Board to pursue grant funding for the potential consolidation of CVWD's Improvement District 8 (ID-8) domestic water system into MSWD. Numerous ID-8 residents—particularly from Sky Valley—spoke in opposition, citing concerns about rate increases, lack of outreach, and the impact on agricultural properties with large acreage and high water use. President Duff and Director Sewell emphasized this vote is only to pursue grant funding (up to $50 million) and does not approve annexation or consolidation; multiple additional steps including LAFCO approval, CVWD divestiture, and a separate MSWD board vote would still be required.
