The District Board of Directors met on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 4:30 PM.
The Board of Directors voted to adopt Resolution 2023-10 to adopt the final Impact Fee Study and imposition of Impact Fees in the amounts recommended by the Board of Directors and Capital Improvement Advisory Committee after the September 19, 2023, public hearing. Impact Fees help fund infrastructure in a way that is fair but ensures that growth pays for itself, manages growth in a more planned and sustainable manner, and contributes to the long-term financial stability of the District. The Board of Directors would like to thank the Capital Improvement Advisory Committee for all their work in this effort.

The Board of Directors awarded the construction contract for Pressure Plane 8 to Pressure Plane 34 Interconnect Project to Dake Construction for $478,760.00. This project includes a meter, pressure-reducing valve assembly, associated piping, electrical, and site improvements. This project will be funded from the Capital Improvement Plan budget with reimbursement from Impact Fees.
The Board of Directors voted to approve the 2024 JCSUD Annual Budget. The budget presented resulted from several months of diligent work by the District staff and Budget Committee. The budget demonstrates fiscal responsibility to maintain water rate stability during an uncertain economy, all while applying strategic planning to manage growth and implement capital improvements on a timely basis.
Josh Howard, Deputy GM, presented the 2022 JCSUD Profit Sharing Plan and 457 Retirement Plan Audit prepared by George, Morgan, and Sneed, P.C. for the Board’s acceptance.

The Board of Directors voted to adopt a formal CareShare Policy, which clarifies the qualifications for the benevolence program intended to help customers who uniquely qualify for billing assistance due to unforeseen financial hardship.
The Board of Directors recognized the following JCSUD employees with their Employee Appreciation Pin for their years of service with the District.
