SUMMARY: In order to prepare the Board to consider in the future a Resolution of Public Necessity for the potential acquisition of California American Water (Cal-Am) Company’s Monterey Water System the Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) must allow the District to activate certain latent powers authorized by its legislation, as well as consider annexation of approximately 56 parcels to the District. At its July 20, 2020 meeting the Board adopted Resolution 2020-12 attached as Exhibit 9-A authorizing the District to file an application with LAFCO. That Public Hearing was improperly noticed, but has now been corrected. The proposed action simply ratifies the Resolution after proper notice was advertised.

RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager recommends the Board ratify Resolution 2020-12.
