Action Items

1.                  Receive Minutes of November 21, 2007 Committee Meeting

On a motion by Director Markey and second by Director Doyle, the minutes were received unanimously on a vote of 3 – 0.    Director Markey noted that at the November 21, 2007 meeting, the committee requested that the District meet with California American Water to determine if CAW would support funding construction of sub-potable water systems.  Although David Berger had informally discussed this with CAW staff, Director Markey requested that formal discussions on this issue be scheduled.

 

2.         Review and Discuss Proposed Draft Ordinance No. 134, An Ordinance Modifying the Definition of the Monterey Peninsula Water Resources System and the District’s Expanded Water Conservation and Standby Rationing Plan

During the discussion the committee members requested that the agenda item for the April 21, 2008 first reading of the ordinance should be separated into two items:  A -- determine if the seven percent unaccounted for loss rate should be modified, and B -- consider first reading of the ordinance.  The committee also discussed whether or not a water permit moratorium should be implemented in Stage 3 of the Water Conservation and Standby Rationing Plan, but consensus was not reached.

 

3.         Review Final Report from Community Advisory Committee to the Board Regarding the Draft Cease and Desist Order Issued Against California American Water and Consider Recommendations Regarding Water Conservation Measures

            This item was deferred for discussion at the next Water Demand Committee meeting.

 

Other Items

The committee scheduled the next meeting for Friday, May 9, 2008 at 3 PM.
