Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency Board of Directors Meeting - October 28, 2026

The Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency Board of Directors met on October 28, 2026. The board approved the 2027 board, special-meeting, and committee schedule after a member requested as much advance notice as feasible for special meetings. The three-item consent agenda also passed; the transcript does not identify its contents. Executive officers reported staffing shortages, including an unfilled assistant groundwater manager position after two declined offers, and reduced capacity for technical work. A new engineer and water resources specialist had joined or were expected to join the agency.

The board approved the Watermaster response report and use of the updated East Las Posas management area groundwater model for evaluating ASR operations and groundwater management. Staff described the updated model as an improvement over the prior model, while noting that it must be coordinated with a separate model used for the western part of the basin; options for developing a unified model remain under consideration. No contract award, vendor selection, budget allocation, or other procurement action was identified in the transcript.
