Recent updates from Governing Board
Director Kuznik reported LAFCO approved the district's annexation of an almost 10-acre parcel, while other directors reported on regional meetings and an upcoming tour.
Why it matters: The annexation approval extends the district's service area; directors also flagged a CSDA legislative staff tour.
Staff expects wildfire liability, insurance, PFAS, AI safety, housing permitting and budget limits to dominate next year's session under a new governor.
Why it matters: Associations such as CSDA and CASA are holding back positions until the new governor's stances are clear, delaying bill sponsorship.
AB 1383 PEPRA reform was vetoed and SB 492 on wildfire recovery liability failed, with both expected to return in 2027.
Why it matters: Both measures would have affected local agencies' pension and liability exposure; the legislature sided with local governments against PG&E-backed proposals.
AB 1621 was signed despite the board's oppose-unless-amended position, while the governor vetoed AB 1997 on Permit Streamlining Act timelines.
Why it matters: AB 1621 adds timing provisions and penalties for noncompliance that the district opposed; the AB 1997 veto message cited uncertainty for public agencies.
Staff reported the governor signed AB 277, AB 1603 and three producer-responsibility bills, which she called wins for the district.
Why it matters: The bills expand water reuse loan flexibility, create a county-level PFAS pesticide reporting database by 2028 and shift e-bike battery and vape recycling to producers.
Directors approved items 3 and 4 on the consent calendar by a 5-0 roll call with no items pulled and no discussion.
Why it matters: Item 4 authorizes sole-source equipment agreements with Veolia and Enviromix totaling $1.6 million, approved without public comment or discussion.
Risk Manager Shari Deutsch introduced Antoinette Campbell, a former recycled water attendant, intern and temporary employee, as the new Risk Management Technician.
Why it matters: The hire supports emergency management program implementation, enterprise risk and security projects.
Central San's household hazardous waste program received the 2026 NAHMMA Program Excellence Award, and staff honored retiring program lead David Wyatt.
Why it matters: The award validates three decades of service, including 54 million pounds of waste collected, and marks the retirement of the program's longtime lead on November 1.
