The new general manager of the Kern County Water Agency adheres to a deceptively simple mantra: More water, less cost. Contained in that sentiment are whole worlds of political, regulatory and legal complexities. Which is why the agency recently hired a second person to represent Kern’s interests in Sacramento. Taryn Ravazzini, was officially hired as an Assistant General Manager with an annual salary of  $350,000 during the agency’s August meeting. She will join Craig Wallace as part of the agency’s Sacramento team. … Other large water organizations, including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, have Sacramento offices full of staff making sure those region’s interests are heard, making it imperative that Kern has a seat at the table, [General Manager Eric] Averett said.
