5. Develop
Recommendation to the District Board on Strategies to Address Negative Impacts of
the Draft Cease and Desist Order
Each committee member in attendance commented on strategies to address the potential negative impacts of the draft CDO should it be adopted by the SWRCB. The committee requested that the preliminary list of their comments be emailed to each participant for review (refer to Attachment 1). Comments should be forwarded to the District, so the list can be modified for presentation at the upcoming April 9 meeting. It was agreed that the April 9 meeting would convene at 1 PM instead of 2 PM, as was originally scheduled. On April 9 the committee will: (1) review and streamline the preliminary list, and (2) begin development of a final report and recommendation to the Board on strategies to address the potential negative impacts of the draft CDO. The committee also discussed the need to appoint a sub-committee to develop the final report. An additional meeting date of April 11, 2008, at 10 AM was scheduled, in the event that more time is needed to develop the final report to the Board of Directors. There were no comments from the public on this item.
