Memorandum of Understanding relating to Reclamation District 108’s acquisition, management and operation of Fair Ranch

Reclamation District 108, in collaboration with the Yolo Subbasin Groundwater Agency and the County of Yolo, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate the acquisition, management, and operation of Fair Ranch and its associated water rights. The agreement outlines a cooperative framework for the responsible stewardship of land and water resources within the Yolo Subbasin, ensuring alignment with regional water sustainability goals and regulatory requirements. RD 108 will assume primary responsibility for the operational aspects of the property, including water use planning and resource management, while working in coordination with the other entities to uphold environmental, agricultural, and community interests. The initiative is located in California, with the place of performance identified as 95645, and is supported by key officials from both Reclamation District 108 and Yolo County, including Jordon Navarrot as Deputy Manager and Jeff Anderson as Principal Planner. This MOU is not a procurement or funding solicitation but serves as a guiding document to formalize shared objectives and responsibilities, laying the groundwork for future actions related to water rights, land use, and groundwater sustainability under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The memorandum was posted on May 27, 2026, indicating its role in pre-negotiation planning and long-term resource coordination within the region.
