8.        Consider Adoption of October through December 2003 Quarterly Water Supply Strategy and Budget

Action:   The Board will consider approval of a proposed production strategy for the California-American Water Distribution System for the three-month period of October through December 2003.  The strategy sets monthly goals for surface and ground water production from various sources within the California-American water system.  Public comment will be received on this item.
