1. Review Proposed MPWMD
Budget for 2006-2007
Rick Dickhaut, Administrative Services Manager, reviewed the Budget with the Board and responded to Directors’ questions. During the discussion the Board requested that: (1) the all terrain vehicle proposed for purchase should be a clean-burning model; (2) staff should present at the June 22, 2006 Board meeting an estimate of the cost to compensate Directors for attendance at 10 meetings per month at a cost of $110 per meeting with the understanding that a change to Board compensation would require adoption of an ordinance; (3) staff should present a conceptual ordinance for modifying Board compensation at a future meeting; and (4) the budget should be presented for adoption at the June 22, 2006 Board meeting. No comments were directed to the Board during the public comment period on this item.
2.
Discuss
Timeline, Budget and Staffing Needed to Potentially Update Water Allocation
Program
Henrietta Stern, Project Manager, reviewed this item with the Board and responded to questions. The Board discussed the issue. One Director commented that updating the Allocation EIR would cause the jurisdictions to consider now, how the new water would be allocated, who would pay for the water, and if any extra water would be available for needs other than lots-of-record. There was consensus among the Directors that it would not be appropriate to update the Water Allocation Program until a new water source has been identified and a plan for distribution of that water is required. No comments were directed to the Board during the public comment period on this item.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 PM.
