The motion carries three to zero.

Moving on to number two.

General public comment.

Okay.

Okay.

The mic's on.

I don't know if I just need to lean closer.

Okay, cool.

Mine was not on, I'm sorry.

Okay.

We have the first item approved three to zero.

Approval of the minutes continuation of the treasurer's quarterly report.

I don't see anybody here for public comments, so we'll move on to item number three, which is Woodland Davis Cleaning Water Agency General Manager update and operations manager update.

First kind of look at water supply, uh term ninety one graphic.

You're all familiar with this graphic.

Um this term ninety-one curtailment isn't in effect when the state pro and the federal projects are releasing supplemental water to meet water quality objectives in the Delta, and that's that's currently the case.

Uh so whenever this graph, the solid dark line is current water year every day, the graph is updated.

And um when it's in the kind of red or pink color, that means term ninety-one can or should be an effect.

When it's in blue, it could not be an effect.

So it has been trending down, but we're still definitely in terms ninety one territory.

They are releasing some extra water right now for what they call X2.

Um to meet certain, it's really salinity in the Delta, and that's probably gonna continue for some time yet.

I'm not quite sure how much longer.

So expectation is term ninety-one curtailment will remain in effect for some time.

You said what's in the Delta?

Um they call it X X2.

Yeah, they manage salinity in the Delta.

There's a uh monitoring station in the Delta where they have to meet a certain amount of salinity.

And in certain year types, and this is one of them, they release extra water to manage that differently.

That's the extent of my knowledge on that topic.

I drive the river road quite a bit, and I'm amazed at how high the Sacramento River is.

So they're they're just gonna be flushing tons of water through there.

Yep, it's uh it's apparent in the next graphic.

Uh so this one is oops, one too many times.

Uh this is Lake Oroville.

Uh so the top of the shaded area is the average for over many years.

And then the solid, the darker blue line is the daily um storage capacity at Oroville.

You can kind of see it did get um May June this year, it did get completely full.

And but then they've been releasing water at rather rather fast pace ever since that time.

And they're still doing that now.

So it's been dropping quite a bit, still above long-term average, but getting closer to the long-term average.

And Shasta is pretty similar.

Uh it got nearly full this spring, and it's been kind of mainly following its more normal curve.

Um, in terms of water release, it's still a little bit above average.

So we should be going into this winter with relatively healthy water storage.

I want to talk real quickly about our bappe electrical conversion.

There's it's quite a bit of work to do this.

It's it's a little bit more difficult than switching over a cable at at the house.

Um we're quite a few things working on uh we are on track for January 1 switched over.

It starts at 1201 January 1.

Um one thing that I do need to mention is that more than 10 years ago, the agency signed a mainline extension contract with PGE, and that was to avoid paying for power line our power transmission lines installed to get water to the to the water treatment plant itself back in 2013-2014 that was built.

Uh the agency had agreed back then to buy power from PGE for at least 10 years.

We are leaving that a little bit before 10 years is up.

As ends up around sometime in early October next year, is when the tenures is actually officially up.

Uh WAPA and I met with PG ⁇ E a few weeks ago.

They will not budge on us paying them.

Uh it's kind of like an early leaving penalty um of about 257,000.

So we looked at it and said, well, what would happen if we stayed in PGE until until November next year or switch now?

And we would end up paying PG ⁇ E around five to six hundred thousand dollars more for power than we would with WAPA during that same time period.

So it makes sense as much as we hate to do it, pay PG and E the early penalty and switch them up on January one, and we we have a net savings so to speak of between a hundred thousand and three hundred thousand dollars.
