Board Comments and Referrals
Action: The
Board will consider the first reading of Ordinance No. 107, rescinding
Ordinance No. 102. The ordinance reinstates District Rule 28 that
allows transfer of water credits from one commercial site to another and
allows transfers of water use credits from a commercial site directly into
a jurisdiction's water allocation. This ordinance is proposed as part of
a settlement agreement with the cities of Monterey, Pacific Grove, Carmel, Sand
City, Seaside and Del Rey Oaks who brought a lawsuit against the District in
response to adoption of Ordinance No. 102.
The Board may also discuss the process and substance relating to a
second ordinance to further modify the water credit transfer rules. Public comment will be received on this item.
Action: The Board of Directors will consider
adoption of the second reading version of Ordinance No. 106 which would revise
the fees charged for processing water distribution systems and other permits
issued by the District. Public comment
will be received on this item.
12. Consider Adoption of Mid-Year Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Budget Adjustment
Action: At mid-year, District staff routinely reviews the
budget and proposes revisions that will ensure continuance of the District’s
programs and facilitate changes in the District’s priorities. A draft, amended budget is presented for
Board consideration. This item is
continued from the January 30, 2003 Board meeting. Public comment will be received on this item.
ACTION ITEMS
Action: The
Pebble Beach Company has agreed to sell a 2.5-acre parcel along with 1.0 acre-foot
of water from the Pebble Beach Company water entitlement. The property being purchased is adjacent to
PBCSD facilities at Forest Lake and Lopez Roads in Pebble Beach. The PBCSD plans to merge the two parcels and
is asking that the area currently owned by PBCSD that does not have water from
the Pebble Beach Company entitlement be allowed to use the water from the other
property. This item is continued from
the January 30, 2003 Board meeting.
Public comment will be received.
Action:
The Board of Directors will receive a report on the options for
continued District rescues and rearing operations for juvenile steelhead on the
lower Carmel River with the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility, and will
consider approval of a plan for retrofitting the water intake system at the
Facility on an interim basis. In addition, the Board will consider authorizing
a contract amendment with John F. Otto, Inc. for construction of the retrofit
project. Public comment will be
received on this item.
15.
Review Revised Draft
Carmel River Flow Threshold Report
Action: The Board will hear a presentation and review
a revised draft of the consultant report, Carmel River Flow Threshold
Study, prepared by Jones & Stokes Associates. The Board will provide
direction on the process to finalize the report. The report describes
minimum flows in the Carmel River in different types of water years to sustain
existing populations of steelhead, red-legged frogs and riparian (streamside)
vegetation. Public comment will be received on this item.
