Flood Control Commission Meeting - 7/15/26

The County of Tulare Flood Control Commission held a meeting on July 15, 2026, focusing on flood control projects, budget updates, and administrative matters. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the Sultana storm drain improvement project, which recently closed out at a cost of $650,000, and ongoing capital improvement projects such as the Kings River study and the Strathmore Fryant Kern Canal project. The commission reviewed funding sources, including property tax revenues, FEMA grants, and disaster resilience grant funds totaling approximately $2 million earmarked for storm pump improvements. They also discussed the Analopee Creek project, which is back in the FEMA funding process after prior setbacks, and the need for long-term maintenance agreements with local entities like the city of Woodlake. Additionally, the commission approved a motion to request remote meeting attendance to improve quorum and participation. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several projects are in design or study phases with potential future procurement activity anticipated.
