Any oral or written communication received regarding any quasi-judicial matter pending before the Board shall either (a) be reported to the General Manager on the Form for Disclosure of Ex Parte Communication, or (b) disclosed orally on the record of the proceeding.

If the ex parte communication occurs more than seven (7) calendar days in advance of the Board hearing on the matter, Directors should complete the Form for Disclosure of Ex Parte Communication and transmit it to the General Manager, together with a copy of any written material received regarding the quasi-judicial matter, as soon as possible after receipt. If the ex parte communication occurs within seven (7) calendar days of the hearing, Board Members should complete the Form for Disclosure of Ex Parte Communication, provide the General Manager with a copy of any written material received as part of the communication as soon as possible after receipt, and provide the information orally on the record of the proceeding.

Communication exclusively between Board Members or exclusively between Board Members and staff of the Water Management District are not ex parte communications. (Reference: Rule 141.)

5. C. Provide Copies to General Manager.

Each Board Member shall forward a copy to the General Manager of any written material received regarding any quasi-judicial matter pending before the District Board if that material does not clearly indicate that a copy has been provided to the General Manager. Receipt of materials not provided to the General Manager shall render the transmission of those materials an ex parte communication and shall compel the Board Member to complete the Form for Disclosure of Ex Parte Communication referenced in Section 5 B of these Implementation Guidelines. (Reference Rule 141.)
