Carson Reclamation Authority Meeting (Tuesday 8/18/2026 4PM)

The Carson Reclamation Authority held a meeting on August 18, 2026, where key procurement and contracting matters were discussed. The board ratified the creation of a Chief Operating Officer (COO) position, appointing Dr. Robert Lennox, with plans to formalize an employment agreement and budget amendments to cover the COO's compensation retroactive to early August. A significant agenda item was the approval of Resolution 26-13-CRPA, authorizing an EB5 loan agreement with Can-Am California Regional Center LP for up to $180 million to fund remedial system installations at the Cal Compact landfill cells in Carson. The loan is contingent on multiple conditions precedent, including grant agreements and regulatory approvals, with no financial liability to the Authority until funding occurs. The board also discussed project management roles, construction bidding processes, and coordination with various contractors and partners. The motion to approve the loan agreement and authorize the executive director to execute related documents passed unanimously.
