Sessions scheduled Feb. 4–5 at Sacramento State Aquatic Center, with in-person and virtual attendance options
The California Boating and Waterways Commission will convene in Gold River next week for a public workshop and its first quarterly meeting of 2026, bringing together commissioners, state staff and community members to discuss boating programs and waterway initiatives across California.
The public workshop is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4, at the Sacramento State Aquatic Center. The session is designed to provide clarification and guidance on various grant programs and administrative processes managed through the Division of Boating and Waterways. Officials said the workshop is intended to assist local agencies, partners and interested members of the public who are seeking a better understanding of available funding opportunities and program requirements.
The Commission’s quarterly meeting will follow at the same location on Thursday, Feb. 5, beginning at 10 a.m. During the meeting, commissioners are expected to receive reports from Division of Boating and Waterways staff on several key topics, including the Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange grant program, Boating Safety and Enforcement Equipment grants, and the Aquatic Invasive Plant Control Program.
Both the workshop and meeting are open to the public. Agendas and additional information for those planning to attend in person are available through California State Parks’ public notices webpage. Participants who are unable to attend in person may also join the Commission meeting virtually via Zoom or Cal-Span.
State Parks officials said California State Parks supports equal access, and visitors with disabilities who may need assistance are encouraged to contact the department in advance at (916) 764-5473.
More information about the California Boating and Waterways Commission and the Division of Boating and Waterways is available through the department’s official website.
