Dana Jacobson

Dana is participating on the Committee as a city resident and is excited about the chance to shape our community’s future and at the same time bring his personal and professional interests closer together.  He was drawn to the Committee because he sees it as an opportunity to reexamine current paradigms in water supply planning and to contribute to a viable and realistic solution for Santa Cruz’s water supply challenge.  He has been working in the field of water resources management in various capacities for over 12 years and has experience in water supply and infrastructure planning, water supply contracts, water transfer and exchange agreements, water rights, water conservation, retail and wholesale water rates, groundwater regulatory enforcement, and State and federal water policy.  And while civic engagement is fun, Dana would rather be whitewater kayaking!
