WORKSHOP/DISCUSSION
1. Review
Proposed MPWMD Budget for 2007-2008
Rick
Dickhaut, Chief Financial Officer/Administrative Services Manager, presented a
summary of the proposed Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Budget. The summary is available for review at the
District office, and on the District’s website.
Mr. Dickhaut responded to questions from the Board. He explained that District staff had
discussed the possibility of converting the District office to solar power, but
it was determined that it would not be cost effective. This idea could be
investigated in the future, as incentive programs are developed. Mr. Dickhaut confirmed that the computer
equipment expenditure will be charged to the Capital Asset Reserve fund, as will
purchase of District vehicles. These
items are replaced according to a time schedule. Money accrues in the fund to pay for these
capital expenditures. General Manager
Berger stated that staff will provide to the Board, prior to the June 18, 2007
Board meeting, a memo outlining the cost estimate to update the EIR for the
District’s proposed 8,400 Acre-Feet Per Year Sand City Desalination
Project. The estimate will not include
the cost to assess the feasibility of slant well technology, as there would be
additional charges to the District for the consultant to develop those
costs. Mr. Dickhaut noted that he would
obtain quotes from two contractors for installation of a new window in the
District office.
ADJOURNMENT
The
meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM.
