Comments from the Public:

Action Items

1. Develop Recommendation to the Board Regarding the First Reading of Ordinance No. 146 – An Ordinance Tolling the Expiration Date of Affected Water Credits upon Implementation of a California Public Utilities Commission Ordered Moratorium

Conroy offered a motion that was seconded by Matarazzo to recommend that the Board consider distribution of an Initial Study proposing preparation of a Mitigated Negative Declaration on Ordinance No. 146. The motion was adopted unanimously on a vote of 5 – 0.

Discussion Items

2. Review Proposed Decision of CPUC Administrative Law Judge Gary Weatherford – Cal-Am Application 10-05-020 – Request for Moratorium

Laredo reported that a revised decision was issued, however, it was identical to the first version. The CPUC will consider the issue on March 10, 2011. During the discussion it was noted that not all jurisdictions inform building permit applicants that, due to the potential Cal-Am moratorium, issuance of a building permit does not guarantee water will be available for their projects.

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:30 AM.
