SUMMARY:  The purpose of this agenda item is for the Board to consider the Administrative Committee’s recommendation to continue work on the draft PowerPoint file regarding MPWMD Strategic Issues (Exhibit 3-A).  Staff created this draft PowerPoint file to assist the Board in fulfilling its objective in the current Strategic Plan, which calls for making formal presentations to the land use jurisdictions within the District.  This agenda report also contains the Chair/Vice Chair committee’s proposed approach for Board member involvement in making the presentations (Exhibit 3-B).     

 

RECOMMENDATION:   The Administrative Committee recommends that the Board authorize the Committee to further refine the draft PowerPoint presentation, for later submission to the Board. 

 

BACKGROUND:  One of the three-year strategic goals the Board included in its 2006-07 Strategic Plan is to “Establish respectful and effective relationships among the MPWMD, California American Water, Jurisdictions, and the Watermaster.”  To initially implement that goal the Board created the following objective, and targeted its accomplishment by March 15, 2007:  “Make presentations to each jurisdiction (at City Council, and Monterey County Board of Supervisors) regarding water issues affecting the jurisdictions.”  The Board directed the General Manager to draft a proposed PowerPoint presentation, and asked that Directors volunteer to attend each respective council/board meeting to assist in making the District’s presentation.  Exhibit 3-B is a list showing the regular meeting schedule of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, Monterey Peninsula Airport District Board of Directors, and each of the six City Councils.  The list also shows the individual MPWMD Director that Chairman Pendergrass and Vice Chairman Edwards have requested attend each of the eight meetings.  Staff previously advised the chief executives of the eight jurisdictions of the District’s desire to attend one of their regular meetings for this purpose.
