Mid-Kings River GSA Meeting (06/09/2026)

The Kings County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting of the Mid-Kings River Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) on June 9, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions focused on groundwater sustainability planning and related consultant contracts. The board approved expenditures for updating the groundwater model and integrating a single groundwater sustainability plan (GSP) for the Tallery Lake subbasin, with Mid-Kings River GSA's share totaling approximately $37,432 for the model update and $227,520 for the GSP development. Additionally, the board authorized hiring Stacy Anne Silva as a single point of contact for state communications at an annual cost of $120,000, with the GSA's portion being $22,980. These actions aim to improve coordination among five GSAs in the subbasin and address state probation status. The meeting also included updates on outreach efforts, website improvements, and scheduling adjustments to facilitate the Prop 218 election process. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several budget allocations and vendor engagements were approved to support ongoing groundwater management efforts.
