What changed between the two nights

Shared themes
- Water (Colorado River and agriculture), power capacity, and neighbor and public-safety impacts.
- Independence and public trust, especially Board members as officers.
- Brown Act, agenda hygiene, and how items get posted.
- Deadline pressure toward Board recommendations (the January 1, 2027 report, and the approvals-pause framing).
- Desire for subject-matter briefings (IID on water and power, air, CEQA) rather than inventing facts in the room.
