SAFCA - 6/18/26

The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) Board of Directors held a meeting on June 18, 2026, which included key procurement and budget discussions. The board reviewed and accepted the annual report on staff vacancies, recruitment, and retention efforts as required under AB-2561, noting an 11% overall vacancy rate without triggering additional policy changes. The board then conducted a public hearing and approved the recommended fiscal year 2026-27 budget, which includes approximately $104 million in funding sources, with significant allocations for capital improvement projects such as levee enhancements and infrastructure upgrades. Additionally, the board considered and ultimately approved resolutions of necessity to acquire real property through eminent domain for levee improvement projects at 5625 and 5311 East Levee Road, following extensive negotiations and possession use agreements with property owners. These acquisitions are critical for construction and maintenance of flood control features. The meeting concluded with scheduling the next SAFCA board meeting for July 16, 2026.
