	On a motion of Byrne and second by Potter, the committee voted to recommend that Cal-Am incorporate into the request for proposals items 1 – 6 listed on Attachment 1. The motion was adopted on a vote of 3 – 0 by Burnett, Byrne and Potter.
3.	Consider Approval of Revised Groundwater Replenishment Project Go/No-Go Criteria for Presentation at June 12, 2013 California Public Utilities Commission Workshop
	A document titled Criteria for the GWR Recommendation by Governance Committee for the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project was submitted for committee review by Robert Wellington, attorney for the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency. Burnett asked for comments on Section 4 of the document, as he was scheduled to discuss the criteria with staff from the Division of Ratepayer Advocates. The committee members reviewed and commented on the criteria but took no action. An amended version of the criteria will be submitted for consideration at a future meeting.
4.	Discussion of Items to be Placed on Future Agendas
	Svindland stated that on June 13, 2013, the Cal Poly design teams will present the next phase of their designs based on comments that were received from the committee on May 17, 2013. He advised the teams that cost is an important factor in project development, and that instead of planning only for the 9.6 mgd plant size, their plans should be modified to accommodate both the 6.4 mgd and 9.6 mgd plant sizes.
	There was a brief discussion about the desalination project construction schedule. On a motion of Byrne and second of Potter, the committee voted to recommend that Cal-Am incorporate into the request for proposals item 7 listed on Attachment 1. The motion was adopted on a vote of 3 – 0 by Burnett, Byrne and Potter.
