DISCUSSION: The Ordinance 152 Citizen’s Oversight Panel (the “Panel”) is a committee formed for the sole purpose of providing a forum for public involvement in the budgeting and expenditure of the District’s annual Water Supply Charge. The Panel is directed to meet quarterly and review proposed expenditure of funds for the water supply activities of the District. The Board does not seek consensus from the Panel, but rather input on the ongoing budgeting and expenditure of revenues raised by the water supply charge on water supply related activities. The Panel will submit an annual report for consideration by the Board of Directors. Exhibit 15-A, attached, serves as that annual report. In the Panel’s by-laws, the report is to be submitted at the September Board meeting, however, the initial panel was not constituted until December 2012, meeting for the first time in early 2013. Hence, the first year of the Panel’s activities just closed.
