Action Items

 

1.         Review and Comment on Proposed Draft Ordinance No. 130 – Adding a Process for Sub-Potable Water Use Credits to the District’s Rules and Regulations

            Ms. Pintar reviewed the ordinance with the committee and discussion followed.  Ms. Ingersoll made a motion to recommend to the MPWMD Board that action on the first reading of the ordinance be delayed and the item referred to TAC for further review and discussion.  TAC would like the ordinance amended to offer an incentive for replacing non-residential potable water irrigation with sub-potable water, by granting a water credit that could be transferred for residential use on another site.  TAC would like District staff to address the concern expressed by the City of Seaside (email dated 8/13/07 from Russell McGlothlin to Tim O’Halloran), that there may be a conflict between the Seaside Basin Adjudication rules regarding use of recycled water and the proposed ordinance.  TAC recommends that the District seek input from the Watermaster on this ordinance.  The motion was seconded by Mr. Rerig and approved on a vote of 5 - 1.  Committee members Langford, Rerig, Rick, Matarazzo and Ingersoll voted in favor of the motion, and  Osorio abstained.          During the discussion, committee members recommended that page 12 of the ordinance, Section Five, A, be clarified to state that “originating from outside the Monterey Peninsula Water Resource system and the Seaside Groundwater Basin” does not mean outside the District boundaries.  In addition it was suggested that incentives should be provided in the ordinance for installation of artificial turf.
