West Sacramento flood agency approves consent agenda, reaffirms 2% assessment increase

The West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency approved its consent agenda on June 18 and heard a monthly finance report noting stable cash positions and the upcoming final installment of assessments.

A staff member reporting the agency’s April 2026 finances said Fund 870 had a beginning balance of about $13.7 million, earned roughly $140,000 in interest and posted about $28,000 in expenses, leaving an ending position of approximately $13.8 million. The agency’s CIP fund (871) began the month at $25.9 million, with $215,000 in expenses leaving an ending position near $25.6 million. The staff reported the combined cash position for funds 870, 871 and the state advance was about $58.6 million at the end of April and $60.8 million as of June 11.

The board discussed item two on the consent agenda, a reaffirmation of a 2% assessment increase. A board member asked whether the 2% was benchmarked to CPI or other inflation measures. The staff member said the 2% figure is based on the General Revaluation Report (GRR) previously prepared and that the 2% level was approved by voters; any larger increase would require a new revaluation.

Director Alcalá moved to approve the consent agenda; Vice Chair Dean seconded. The chair called the vote and two "Aye" responses were recorded and the consent agenda was announced as approved. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally for all members, and the minutes or clerk’s record should be consulted for the official vote count.

What happens next: staff noted the agency expects to receive the third and final assessment installment later this month and will present additional financial updates as needed. The board then moved on to project updates from SAFCA staff.
