SUMMARY:  The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Board of Directors has requested written comment from the governing bodies of the land use jurisdictions on proposed yield targets that would satisfy current replacement and estimated future water needs of the Monterey Peninsula.  The yield targets the District Board tentatively set on November 20, 2006, consist of 12,500 acre-feet annually (AFA) for the existing replacement need, and 4,500 AFA for future water needs.   The District Board has requested that comments on these proposed yield targets be received by March 15, 2007.   

 

To assist the jurisdictions and facilitate their respective responses, the District’s Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will receive District staff PowerPoint presentations on the proposed yield targets at the joint meeting on January 9, 2007.   A copy of the staff report presented to the Board on November 20, 2006 is included as Attachment 2-A, and will be referred to during the presentation.   Also attached is a November 30, 2006 letter formally transmitting this staff report to the Airport District General Manager.  Identical letters were sent to the County Administrative Officer, and to each of the City Managers of the six Monterey Peninsula cities located within the District.  

 

RECOMMENDATION:  Following the presentation and response to questions, the PAC and TAC should share the information with their respective governing bodies, in order to assist in preparing and submitting each jurisdiction’s formal response to the District Board by March 15, 2007.
