SUMMARY: Exhibit 14-A is the draft of the 2011 Annual Report for the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. Once completed, the report will be posted on the District’s website and made available to the public upon request.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board accept public comment, then direct District staff to finalize the 2011 MPWMD Annual Report. Directors are asked to submit any written comments or edits on the report to District staff by April 2, 2012. The Public Outreach Committee reviewed this item on March 8, 2012, requested minor corrections and recommended adoption.
BACKGROUND: The District’s enabling legislation requires that the District prepare an annual written report of the activities of the District in the protection and augmentation of water supplies of the District. The legislation further requires that a public hearing be held each year regarding the contents of the report before it is finalized. Prior to the 2008 report, a four page color report was prepared and mailed to all District constituents, local libraries and various other area government agencies. In addition to information required by the enabling legislation, the report historically contained additional information on various District activities. However, because of the timeline required for the report, much of the information was outdated by the time the report was distributed. For the 2008 report, the Public Outreach Committee recommended, and the full Board of Directors concurred, that the report be condensed to contain only the information required by the enabling legislation and that it would be made available to the public, but would not be widely distributed as it has been in the past.
