Action Items

1.                  Receive Minutes of August 10, 2006 Committee Meeting

On a motion by Director Foy and second by Director Markey, the minutes were received on a vote of 3 – 0.   Director Markey expressed a concern about the action recorded under item 2, Discuss Edits to Ordinance No. 125, Including Possible Addition of Public Water Credit Transfer Clarification Language to Rule 28., which stated that “a discussion should be scheduled on how to achieve the goal of allowing public agencies to transfer water credits into their own allocation between non-contiguous properties.”  She stated that the intent of her motion was not to predetermine that the board would take all steps necessary to “achieve the goal.”  The committee members agreed that the minutes should not be amended.

 

2.                  Review Draft Ordinance No. 127 – Proposed Amendments to the Rebate Program

Director Pendergrass made a motion to refer the ordinance to the Board for first reading.  The motion was seconded by Director Markey and approved on a vote of 3 – 0.   The committee also requested that staff analyze the fiscal impact of possible future increases to the rebate amounts for some higher cost fixtures and expansion of the list of fixtures that are eligible for rebates.  Staff proposed that the increased cost could be funded by a California-American Water (CAW) rate increase approved by the Public Utilities Commission, which authorized $300,000 for water conservation measures to be administered jointly by the District and CAW.

 

3.         Schedule Date for Next Committee Meeting

            When there is a need to conduct another meeting, staff will contact the committee members to schedule a date.
