Committee Recommendation:  The Administrative Committee considered this item on August 9, 2021, and recommended approval.

CEQA Compliance:  This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378.

 

SUMMARY:  Resolution 2021-11 (Exhibit 3-A) updates Rule 60, the Fees and Charges Table, to reflect actual expenses (time, effort, and cost) incurred by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (District) as a result of providing the services listed.  Three amendments to Rule 60 are proposed in Resolution 2021-11: 

 

1.      The resolution adds a new Line 8 for direct costs (i.e., lab costs) for water quality testing for a Confirmation of Exemption.  Water quality testing is done to verify whether water is alluvial when a Well is located within 1,000 feet of the Monterey Peninsula Water Resource System. 

 

2.      All permitting now involves filing digitized plans for Water Permits. The applicant is asked to provide plans and applications electronically, but there may be times when plans must be scanned by staff, such as when an applicant brings the plans and application to the District office. Scanning construction plans and filing the documents takes approximately 30 minutes, and the proposed fee reflects this effort.  This addition to Rule 60 would add a new line under the heading “Document Preparation, Processing, Review or Retrieval (Rule 60).”

 

3.      The table from Line 8 forward must be renumbered due to the addition of these two fees.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Administrative Committee recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2021-11, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Amending Rule 60, Fees and Charges Table.

 

BACKGROUND:  Ordinance No. 120, adopted March 21, 2005, allows changes to the Fees and Charges Table by resolution.  The Fees and Charges Table was last updated on October 19, 2020, by adoption of Resolution 2020-14.
