17. Consider Application to Amend Cañada Woods Water Distribution System Permit

CHOMP is proceeding with two large additions to its facility that require water permits.

This item was continued from the June 16, 2003 Board meeting. Public comment will be received.

21. Consider Adoption of Ballot Measure(s) Language, Review and Approve Text of Initiative Ordinance, and Approve Action to Set Election for November 4, 2003 All-Mail Ballot Election

The Board shall also consider and approve a resolution calling the election and authorize staff to execute a contract with the Registrar of Voters to complete election related services for any ballot measure it selects. A majority of the Ad-Hoc Elections Committee is recommending no ballot measure.
