Action Items
1.	Consider Adoption of March 4, 2014 Committee Meeting Minutes
	Item deferred to the next committee meeting.
2.	Develop Recommendation to the Board of Director on Receipt of Los Padres Dam and Reservoir Long-Term Strategic and Short-Term Tactical Plan
	On a motion by Byrne and second of Pendergrass, the committee recommended that the Board of Directors receive the draft report, and submit it as an attachment to the testimony the Water Management District must provide to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in response to California American Water’s general rate case application 13-07-002. When the report has been updated to final form, the Board of Directors will review it, and if adopted, the final report will be filed with the CPUC as an addendum to the Water Management District’s testimony. The motion was approved unanimously on a vote of Brower, Pendergrass and Byrne. Doug Wilhelm addressed the committee during the public comment period on this item. He expressed hope that adequate consideration will be given for additional water capacity in the California American Water service area, which could provide water for nominal growth beyond that of the desalination project.
3.	Develop Recommendation to the Board of Directors on Potential Cost Sharing with Soquel Creek Water District for Third Party Review of DeepWater Desal Costs
	Pendergrass offered a motion that was seconded by Byrne, to recommend that the Board of Directors enter into a cost-sharing agreement with Soquel Creek Water District for the third party review of costs and cost of water from the DeepWater Desal project. The water Management District’s share of cost should be $12,400. The motion was adopted unanimously on a vote of Brower, Pendergrass and Byrne.
4.	Develop Recommendation to the Board of Directors on Authorizing the General Manager of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to File with the State Water Resources Control Board Applications to Appropriate Waters of the Reclamation Ditch, Tembladero Slough and Blanco Drain in the Salinas Valley for the Purpose of Providing Source Water to the Pure Water Monterey Project
	Pendergrass offered a motion to recommend that the Board of Directors authorize the General manager to apply for the water rights. The motion was seconded by Brower. Pendergrass offered an amended motion, to recommend that the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to apply for the water rights. If Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency does choose to apply for the water right concurrent with the Water Management District, both applications could in the future be processed as a joint application. The motion was adopted unanimously on a vote of Byrne, Pendergrass and Brower. No comments were directed to the committee during the public comment period on this item.
