The Buckman Direct Diversion Board is Seeking Citizen and Alternate Citizen Member
The BDD Board is a Joint Powers Act entity consisting of the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County and oversees the Buckman Direct Diversion Project. The Buckman Direct Diversion Project is a water supply project co-owned by the City and County. The project diverts Rio Grande surface water to supply drinking water to the City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County. Las Campanas serves as a limited partner and receives raw water for irrigation of its facilities. The BDD Project was completed in 2010 and has been operational since 2011. The Board consists of five members: two City councilors, two County Commissioners and one citizen member.
The Board meets once per month, most usually on the first Thursday of the month. Additional special meetings may occur. The meetings have typically started at 4:00 p.m. but may begin earlier.
The Board seeks applicants for the citizen member position and for the alternate citizen member position. The alternate may participate in meetings but does not vote unless the citizen member is absent.
Please contact Bernardine Padilla at brpadilla@santafenm.gov or 505-955-4519 to receive a copy of the application. Applications must be received by 5 pm Friday, February 23, 2024.
