Why is it a "biennial" report? Haven't we typically done annual reports?
Up until fiscal year'20, SCC assembled annual reports that included one full page of accomplishments for each of the 45 conservation districts. Moving forward, SCC will alternate the format of our report every other year:
- Odd-numbered years: SCC will develop a detailed report that rolls up accomplishments achieved through state-funded programs (e.g., Natural Resource Investments, Irrigation Efficiencies) and includes one page for each CD to feature accomplishments from the previous biennium. You can see 19-21 biennial report we did here.
- Even-numbered years: At the mid-biennium point, SCC will develop a more concise and thematic report of highlights from the past fiscal year, similar to the report we published for fiscal year '20.
