SUMMARY: Exhibit 2-A is District staff’s proposed draft of the 2007 Annual Report of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. Staff requests the Committee’s input on the draft report. In addition to any changes requested by the Committee and Board, the final report will also include photos.
RECOMMENDATION: The Committee should review and comment on the draft 2007 MPWMD Annual Report, then request District staff to make desired changes to the report for presentation to the entire Board of Directors at the March 17, 2008 Board meeting.
BACKGROUND: The District’s enabling legislation requires that the District prepare an annual written report of the activities of the District in the protection and augmentation of water supplies of the District. The legislation further requires that a public hearing be held in March of each year regarding the contents of the report before it is finalized. Prior to 2004, the District utilized consultants to edit, design and publish a report approximately 15 pages long. That report had a minimal distribution of about 100 copies that were sent to local libraries and public entities. For the 2004 annual report, it was determined that it would be more cost effective to prepare a condensed four page report in house and use the funds previously spent on consultants to mail the report to all mailing addresses in the District, in addition to the entities that previously received the report. Subsequent reports have been prepared and distributed in the same manner, and the report was also upgraded from black and white to color in 2005. Each annual report is also posted on the District’s website.
