L.6 Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority Board of Directors (RCA)
Councilmember Gonzalez reported the following:
At the RCA Board of Directors meeting on August 4, 2025, reports for the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Fee Collection for April and May 2025, Joint Project Review (JPR) Status, Acquisition Status, Monthly Investment Reports for April and May 2025, Single Signature Authority, Quarterly Public Engagement Metrics, and State and Federal Legislative Update were received and filed.
Additionally, Resolution No. 2025-012 and No. 2025-013 relating to the Exempt Surplus Declaration of Real Property were approved.
General Counsel Staff provided a presentation on MSHCP Clerical Change to the Conflict Resolution Process. The presentation recommended a clerical change to the conflict resolution process so that the value of the property established during the conflict resolution process shall be within the range of value established by the property owner and RCA appraisals. The need for the change is because the language of the MSHCP has not been clear with regard to the third appraisal. Therefore, in order to protect the rights of the property owner and to establish a clear and fair purchase price for the RCA, this clerical change is necessary. The Board motioned to approve the adoption of Resolution No. 2025-011 to approve and adopt the MSHCP Clerical Change to the Conflict Resolution Process.
Staff provided a presentation on Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan 101 Part 3, an overview of MSHCP basics, including the Development Process, Reserve Assembly, MSHCP Compliance: JPR and HANS, and Criteria Refinement.
There was no presentation on the Reserve of the Month due to lack of time.
