Discussion Items
3.	Review Draft 2014-15 Budget of Revenue and expenditures of the Water Supply Charge on Water Supply Related Activities
	Prasad summarized the Water Supply Charge Availability Analysis and responded to questions. Stoldt stated staff will update the budget for FY 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 to reflect a more detailed breakdown of the Project Expenditures and Alternate Desal Project budget. Bruno suggested that the Net Revenue over expenses show a negative balance to reflect a more accurate picture and to show the actual deficit that exists. Stoldt suggested making the changes as requested by the committee and appending the budget to the annual report as a regular attachment for review. It will also be distributed to the committee for review. With regards to the Labor Allocation by Operating Funds spreadsheet, Bruno suggested a note be included next to Administrative Services stating charges are taken into account in the 15% analysis.
4.	Update on MPTA v MPWMD Lawsuit re Ordinance No. 152
	Stoldt reported that hearings have been deferred four times, and are now set for September 2014. The attorney for the Monterey Peninsula Taxpayer’s Association has asked to amend the lawsuit to include an examination of the Water Management District’s enabling legislation related to financing and water project approval.
5.	Update on Local Projects
	Stoldt reported the District is optimistic about working with the Monterey Peninsula Airport District and the Pebble Beach Company in the 2014-15 budget year. He noted that the City of Pacific Grove will likely reach its $100,000 grant funding limit by October 2014. Stoldt also discussed various meetings he had attended.
