Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency Meeting 11-10-2026

The Sutter Butte Flood Control Agency Board of Directors met on November 10, 2026. The board approved the consent calendar by motion and vote; no opposition was reported. The financial update noted that fiscal year 2025–26 accounts were not yet finalized, working capital was approximately $12.5 million, and about $2.3 million in revenue remained pending, mostly from LAIF investment earnings. The agency reported approximately $14 million in expenditures for FY 2025–26, and a debt-service payment of about $1.5 million is scheduled for April 2027.

Project updates included Nordic Industries completing punch-list work and entering administrative closeout, with final payments and retention release expected in the coming months. The 5.2-mile Sutter Bypass East Levee Repair project was at essentially 100% design and awaiting final permits and approvals; staff also discussed pursuing funding for a future 12-mile phase. Eight bids were received for the OWA Robinson’s Riffle River Restoration project, and staff will bring a contract-award recommendation to the board in December; no award was made at this meeting. R&R Horn’s Thermolito Afterbay Boat Ramp and Campground work was reported as approximately 80–85% complete. The board also received an informational presentation on the Central Valley Flood Control Association and updates on flood-control funding, planning, and regulatory coordination.
