SUMMARY: At its June 17, 2013 meeting, the District’s Board adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2013-2014 budget which included $2,717,500 for GWR. This budgeted amount represented 75% of the total expenditure for FY 2013-2014. The other 25% of the project cost is funded by Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA).
Based on new estimates from MRWPCA, there is a need to increase the GWR FY 2013-2014 budget by an additional $1,637,714. This increase includes estimates from MRWPCA of $1,387,714 attached as Exhibit 5-A, outreach costs of $80,000, water rights costs of $90,000, and externalities costs of $80,000 based on MPWMD estimates. The District’s share of this increase based on Sharing Agreement with MRWPCA will be $1,228,290 (75% of the increased budget). The funding for this increase will come from Aquifer Storage Recovery Phase I and Alternate Desalination Project. Most of the project costs for these projects have been deferred to FY 2014-2015. This budget increase will be included in the District’s mid-year budget adjustment slated for February-March Board meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: District staff recommends that the Board authorize the increase in budget for Groundwater Replenishment Project of $1,228,290 for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on January 21, 2014 and recommended __________.
