SUMMARY: The Board should consider modifying the Regular Board meeting start time from 7 pm to 6 pm. A 6 pm start time would allow the Board to conduct its business and adjourn at a reasonable hour. This will benefit both the public and Directors.

The Board can authorize the change by amending MPWMD Board Meeting Rule No. 12 that established the start time as 7 pm. The 6 pm start time would go into effect immediately. Notice of the time change would be emailed the week of September 23 and published on the District’s website and social media accounts. The notice would be repeated the week of October 7.

A survey of 11 local public agencies showed that only two agencies convene at 7 pm. The City of Pacific Grove and Monterey One Water convene at 6 pm. The other seven agencies meet at various times between 9:30 am and 6:30 pm.

RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 2019-13 (Exhibit 13-A) authorizing an amendment to MPWMD Board Meeting Rule No. 12 and establishing the Regular Board meeting start time as 6 pm.
