Expressing Appreciation to Larry Foy

WHEREAS, in November 2003 Larry Foy was elected to represent Division 5 on the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Board of Directors.

WHEREAS, Mr. Foy was elected to the position of Vice Chair for calendar year 2004 and Board Chair for calendar year 2005.

WHEREAS, Mr. Foy participated on several Board committees. He was Chair of the Water Demand Committee between 2004 and 2007, and Chair of the Project and Environmental Review Committee in 2004. He also participated on the Administrative, Public Outreach, and Rules and Regulations Review Committees.

WHEREAS, Mr. Foy supported efforts to reduce pumping on the Carmel River and develop groundwater storage in the Seaside Groundwater Basin through development of the Seaside Groundwater Basin Aquifer Storage and Recovery project. In addition, he approved funding for investigations into the feasibility of other water supply project alternatives such as seawater desalination and purified recycled water. These studies are the foundation from which a county-wide regional water supply planning effort has been developed.

WHEREAS, Mr. Foy supported water conservation measures intended to keep community water consumption within limits established by the State Water Resources Control Board in Order WY95-10. He assisted in the expansion of programs that offer incentives for installation of low-flow fixtures in residences and businesses, and replacement of potable water use with non-potable sources.

WHEREAS, Mr. Foy’s many years of experience working for the local investor-owned water utility provided him with an adept perspective on the technical, regulatory and fiscal aspects of managing the District’s limited water and financial resources.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District expresses appreciation to Larry Foy for his diligence in working towards completion of the District’s goals and objectives.
