At its June 2 meeting, the Yuba County Water Agency Board of Directors approved the agency’s proposed budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027 and an updated personnel allocation chart that reduces or leaves unfunded 10 vacant positions, according to the board’s draft minutes and meeting agenda.[^1][^2]
The board also approved the 2026 Incident Addendum to the 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, which is intended to guide agency resource prioritization during recovery from the Colgate Penstock incident.[^1] The agenda listed the budget item, the personnel allocation chart, the incident addendum and an emergency-contracting item tied to Colgate Penstock recovery among the matters before directors that day.[^2]
The minutes summary does not include the total budget figure or line-item changes, and it is not clear from the available material whether the 10 vacant positions were permanently eliminated or left unfunded pending future hiring decisions.[^1]
The same meeting also covered ongoing Colgate recovery work, including emergency contracting and staff reports on forensic and condition assessments, road improvements, sediment disposal and hillslope stabilization.[^1]
