(RCA) Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority - Regular Meeting — April 6, 2026
The fees developers pay to fund habitat conservation are down about 45% this fiscal year because building has slowed across western Riverside County. The board cut revenue projections by $7.6 million but staff says reserves are healthy and current projects are safe — tougher choices may come in future years.

TUMF fee collections are running well below the $77.5 million projection because development has slowed, cutting WRCOG's admin share to $1.9 million. New pilot studies in the Pass and Southwest zones aim at quick congestion fixes like signal coordination, backed by AB 2307 pushing Caltrans to cooperate.
