Motion: Bass/Roccucci Approved: Unanimous 5. APPROVAL OF DECEMBER, 8 2025 MINUTES Motion made to approve December 8, 2025, minutes. Motion: Landon/Bass Approved: Aye: Unanimous Abstained: Ring 6. PUBLIC COMMENT None 7. ACTION ITEMS a. Approve and authorize the Chair and Executive Director to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) funding agreement for FY 25/26 Placer County Auditor-Controller services Brad stated that the Board previously approved the Placer County Auditor-Controller MOU funding agreements each year beginning in Fiscal Year 21/22. The Placer County Auditor- Controller’s office is continuing to direct bill specific departmental service costs again for Fiscal Year 25/26 through the attached MOU funding agreement. These services include, but are not limited to, accounting, auditing, finance, and payroll. This work continues to include the roll out and support of the newly implemented Workday accounting software. Additional Auditor- Controller support will continue to be tracked within the Countywide Cost Plan, which will incorporate any necessary credits and adjustments for the MOU. Prior to Fiscal Year 20/21, Placer County Auditor-Controller service costs were solely tracked within the Countywide Cost Plan. The Countywide Cost Plan charges also include service costs from District Counsel in addition to other Placer County administrative services such as for training, human resources, and purchasing. The Countywide Cost Plan charges are calculated based on the allocated costs from two years prior (i.e., FY 23/24 actual costs are included in FY 25/26 Countywide Cost Plan costs). The Countywide Cost Plan is confirmed every year following the approval of the final budget. The approved District FY 25/26 final budget captured the accurate cost of $22,000 for MOU services within Ledger Code 52390 for Professional and Special Services (County). Brad recommended the Board, by motion, approve and authorize the Chair and Executive Director to execute the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) funding agreement in the amount of $22,000 for Fiscal Year 25/26 Placer County Auditor-Controller services.

Board of Directors Meeting Minutes March 9, 2026 Page 3 of 5 Motion: Bass/Gore Approved: Unanimous 8. ITEMS FOR INFORMATION a. Results of District biennial financial audit for period ending June 30, 2024 Brad reported that the biennial audit of the District’s finances for the two-year period ending June 30, 2024, was completed last year by the private auditing firm LSL, under contract to Placer County. The audit was conducted in accordance with standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. No instances of noncompliance, or other matters as required to be reported under the Government Auditing Standards were found. No deficiencies in internal control that could be identified as a material weakness were found either. No specific recommendations to strengthen internal controls and operating efficiency were made. A summary of the financial highlights from the audit report are listed below and indicate the financial condition of the District remains healthy:  The assets of the District exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $7,347,536 (net position).  As of the close of the 2024 fiscal year, the District’s General Fund reported ending fund balance of $1,036,959.  The District had total program and general revenues of $2,425,076 and program expenses of $2,332,095 for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 2024.  During this two-year period, revenues increased from the prior two-year period. The increase is the result of the beginning of the FEMA CTP4 floodplain mapping project that utilized federal grant aid (intergovernmental) to fund the professional engineering costs. Charges for services have increased due to the increased use of professional District engineering review services provided to member agencies for development reviews and bridge project reviews.  There was an increase in mitigation fees revenues collected during this two-year period over the prior two-year period due to increased development within the Dry Creek watershed and resulting fee collections from Placer County and the Cities within this watershed.  District operating expenditure has increased because of an increase in District operational costs including professional services from the County and FEMA CTP4 professional engineering support costs. Brad let the Board know that copies of the complete auditor’s report are available upon request. b. Update on FEMA CTP floodplain mapping studies in Placer County Eric Griffin, District Development Coordinator, provided an update to the FEMA floodplain mapping efforts for CTP3 and CTP4 stating these studies are utilized to develop updated hydrologic and hydraulic models for FEMA to use in the official Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Eric explained that CTP4 is the District’s current floodplain mapping effort working with Wood Rodgers providing hydrologic analysis and floodplain mapping for approximately 36 miles of

Board of Directors Meeting Minutes March 9, 2026 Page 4 of 5 Placer County streams. The initial project was submitted in Summer 2025 and the District is working with Wood Rodgers to finalize responses for final submittal. Eric noted that the University Creek Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) was approved in November of 2025. Eric further summarized CTP3 milestones such as comment and appeal periods noting that the next step is for FEMA to release a Letter of Final Determination with an effective date as soon as September 2026. A Director inquired about the blue lines shown on the CTP4 exhibits provided asking if these are areas that were yet to be mapped. Brad explained that the District meets with the District Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and member agencies to determine which streams are most critical to map within the CTP program. The Director followed up asking if the District and FEMA go back and update the existing studies. Brad explained that if there are substantial changes that have occurred since the floodplain mapping was prepared that member agency staff can request restudies to include updated hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of these areas and several restudy areas were included in previous CTP projects. Eric followed up by explaining that there are also updates to floodplain mapping through the FEMA LOMR process in which FEMA mapping information is updated outside of the CTP projects. c. Review Update on flood season and short-term climate predictions for remainder of winter 2025/26 . Brad updated the Board that as the Placer County region is over half-way through the 2025/26 flood season, District staff wanted to update the Board on observed precipitation and snowfall measurements. The region observed two major winter storm cycles in late December/early January and another cycle in the latter half of February that produced a surprising amount of precipitation with each cycle. District staff received multiple 10 and 25-hr intensity alarms for both storm cycles, including longer duration, 12 and 24-hours events indicating beneficial steady rain for longer periods of time. Brad stated that our region is fortunate to have the local UC Berkely Central Sierra Snow Lab (CSSL) which is a high-tech, continuously staffed research facility located at Donner Pass, specializing in snow physics, hydrology, meteorology, and climate change. Brad referenced the presentation and Board package graphics that show the CSSL has received 114% of the total average accumulated precipitation as of March 4, 2026, which is a combination of the total rain and snowfall observed. Similarly, the CA Dept of Water Resources (DWR) northern Sierra precipitation 8-station index is 109% of average for March 6, 2026. The total snowfall depth at the lab is 88% of average as of March 4th which is an accumulation of the total snowfall observed at the lab. However, the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) or total amount of water content within the snow is 53% of average at the lab as of March 6th which saw a decline due to the last high elevation rain on snow event. The DWR Overall Sierra Snow Water Content (SWE) is 58% of normal for March 6th and 54% of the April 1st average for the entire State. Brad also shared an interesting statistic where the 5-day snow depth observed at the lab for the February storm cycle produced the 3rd snowiest 5-day period since 1970 at the laboratory. Brad shared the latest short-term climate predictions available from the National Weather Service/National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NWS/NOAA) include continued observed weak La Nina conditions through summer and a 50-60% chance of a new El Niño

As reflected in the presented graphics, Brad confirmed our area is projected to experience below average precipitation amounts and above average temperatures over the remaining winter months of March through May 2026. Brad also confirmed that historically, all areas of California have a greater chance of experiencing below normal precipitation during La Niña conditions. A Director inquired if District staff prefer to have below normal precipitation from a flood control perspective. Brad confirmed that it is always better to have normal amounts of precipitation and snowfall to accommodate water distribution throughout the State. Brad also suggested it is possible to have sufficient precipitation and snowfall if it comes in gradual increments throughout the winter season that allow for reservoirs to capture the rain and snowmelt while not causing significant flooding. 9. NEXT MEETING The next regularly scheduled Board meeting is May 11, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. at the Rocklin City Council Chambers. 10. DIRECTOR REPORTS None 11. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned by the Vice Chair Davis at 4:29pm. Respectfully submitted, Melissa Holmes, Administrative Assistant
