Last month the Santa Fe Irrigation District swore in incumbent board members Michael Hogan, Sandra Johnson and Andy Menshenk, who all ran unopposed in the November election, and welcomed an additional new board member, Ron Magnaghi.
New Santa Fe Irrigation District board member Dana Friehauf was sworn into her seat at the board’s Dec. 17 meeting. Friehauf represents Division 2, inclusive of a portion of Solana Beach.
A Solana Beach native, Friehauf brings over 30 years of experience in the field of water resources. She served as a water resources manager at the San Diego County Water Authority and oversaw the development of plans and policies to help ensure a reliable water supply for the San Diego region. Since her retirement in 2019, she has been attending Santa Fe Irrigation District board meetings to advocate for fair and equitable water rates for Solana Beach ratepayers.
