Action Items

1.                  Receive Minutes of April 6, 2006 Committee Meeting

On a motion by Director Markey and second by Director Edwards, the minutes were unanimously received on a vote of 3 – 0.

 

2.                  Review Final Draft 2005 MPWMD Annual Report

Director Markey offered a motion to approve the report with minor modifications to the text, and to authorize printing the document in full color, if the additional printing charge is within 10 percent of the $13,300 budgeted for production and mailing of the annual report.  The motion was seconded by Director Edwards and unanimously approved on a vote of 3 – 0.

 

During the discussion, staff was directed to: (1) re-write the first sentence of the main article on page one; (2)  check the wording of the Vision and Mission statements on page one; and (3) highlight the headline “We Want to Hear From You” on page four of the report.

 

Other Items

Staff reported that they would continue to work with Access Monterey Peninsula (AMP) on production of one short informational video that provides an overview of the District’s functions.  This is a change from the previous plan to produce three short videos.  The script for the video will be submitted to the Public Outreach Committee for review. If the effort to work with AMP on one short video is successful, plans can be made to produce additional informational materials.  The committee expressed support for preparation of a video that focuses on the District’s fishery programs and the Sleepy Hollow Fish Rearing Facility.

 

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned at 2:10 PM.
