Two openings have been created on the nine member Borrego Basin Groundwater Sustainability Plan Advisory Committee, one for the California State Parks (Parks) and one for the Borrego Water District (BWD).

The opening for the Parks position is created by the retirement of Kathy Dice (effective July 1st), and as reported at the last BWD Board Meeting, Richard Dopp resigned due to a family medical situation.

State Parks have put forward a replacement, Environmental Specialist - Gina Burns.

An ad-hoc Committee of Tatusko and Ehrlich was formed to work with staff on the replacement process for the BWD position. At the end of the process on June 9th, two candidates submitted applications, Ray Shindler and Dave Duncan. Both candidates were interviewed and the ad-hoc Committee was split between the two candidates.

Board members have yet to announce their final decision between the two submissions.
