• Jessica: How is lateral rehab going? Are most open to it or still resistant? Kenneth: open is an understatement, strong community penetration. No real meaningful problems.
• Jessica: Will send budget forecast back to Kenneth to update.
• OC doesn’t want to monopolize funds, if some projects need to take a step back to allocate money to other community members, they can.

• Erich: Does WL need to send I/I Reduction funding report? Jessica: No, since WL hasn’t used any WES money. DEQ report: WES does need input annually.

• Erich: Recently updated CCTV van, crews are using it more. Still trying to get project going.

• Kenneth: OC did something similar, willing to help WL if needed.

• Jeff: If any community members need flow meters or other WES equipment, please reach out to share resources and equipment rather than renting them. Collaboration/resource sharing is not tied to just the basins projects.
