SUMMARY: The Final Report of the 2005 Monterey County Civil Grand Jury was released to the public on January 3, 2006. The report includes a chapter titled “Ordinance No. 98 – Bathroom Fixture Ordinance” (Exhibit 4-A). The report was generally favorable towards the implementation of Ordinance No. 98, which allows the addition of a second bathroom in a residence without debiting the jurisdiction’s water allocation. The report includes three recommendations on how the District’s water permit rules could be revised. The District is required to provide a written response to the Grand Jury’s findings and recommendations on or before April 3, 2006. Attached as Exhibit 4-B are the guidelines for responding to the Grand Jury report.
RECOMMENDATION: Review the recommendations and findings prepared by the Grand Jury (Exhibit 4-A) and discuss how the District should respond. Also decide if the Water Demand Committee should recommend to the Board that it consider implementation of the Grand Jury’s recommendations.
