6. General Manager Report: By Adam Cox

   GM Cox has been focusing on items from the Strategic Planning Session held April 11, 2024. Greenville Park Renovations, Budget and resolutions for the Taylorville Cemetery and the IVRPD annexations. Each of the organization's Board of Directors will need to adopt identical resolutions for the merger to occur. We would plan on adopting these resolutions at the July or August Board meeting to have it prepared for the LAFCO August meeting and it would go into effect in January or February of 2025. 

   Parks and Recreation Lifeguards and Swim Coordinators have started working for the summer season. 

   GM Cox is submitting the Interim 2024/25 Budget to the Board for approval this evening. The final budget will be brought back for Board approval prior to October.  

   As a result of a grant by the Alumbra Innovations Foundation (connected to a member of the Wal-Mart Walton family), IVCSD has been able to partner with Greenville Rancheria to apply for a Microgrid Incentive Program grant from PG&E. This CPUC-mandated programs directs utilities like PG&E to assist local governments in creating self-sufficient microgrids who power lines remain active even in "dark sky" events. IVCSD and the Ranchera applied for the maximum $17 million.  If the grant is awarded it will be brought back to the Board for a vote.

   GM Cox met with the Greenville Cemetery Board on Monday, June 24th, along with IVCSD Board Members Carpenter and Meyers to discuss restoring service to the cemetery. While an agreement was not reached the cemetery board did make clear that they are open to selling an easement to IVCSD for placement of a future well and storage tank on their property.  

   The rate study is in the final stages and one of the pieces they still need is the 24/25 budget. When they have that information we should see the results of the study in September or October.
