3. Review Proposed Memorandum of Agreement with California American Water Regarding Management and Operation of Aquifer Storage and Recovery Facilities

At the April 4, 2004 Administrative Committee meeting, Director Edwards requested a special meeting be scheduled for the committee to review the proposed MOA which clarifies joint efforts and cooperation between the MPWMD and California American Water to facilitate present and future aquifer storage and recovery project operations. This item is scheduled for consideration as Action Item 14 on the April 18, 2005 Board meeting agenda.

General Manager David Berger distributed a letter dated April 18, 2005 from Michael Stamp that was faxed to the District. The letter expressed concern regarding Item 14. Joe Oliver, Water Resources Manager, gave a PowerPoint presentation describing the proposed MOA regarding management and operations of Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) operations. The committee expressed concern that the Board had not had sufficient time to discuss this matter in detail and that the Board was not ready to take action on this item. Steven Leonard, General Manager, California American Water Company, was asked to respond to questions raised by the committee. After discussion among the group, Director Edwards made a motion recommending to the Board that Action Item 14 on the April 18, 2005 Board meeting agenda be deferred to a future Board meeting. Director Markey seconded the motion. The committee voted 3 to 0 to defer this item to a future Board workshop.

4. Adjournment
