SUMMARY:  Resolution 2021-16 (Exhibit 4-A) updates Rule 141, Rebate Amounts Table. Two amendments to Rule 141 are proposed in Resolution 2021-16:

 

1.      “Smart Controller” has been changed to “Weather Based or Smart Irrigation Controller” for consistency with Rule 11, Definitions.

 

2.      New rebate for Smart Flowmeters:  Maximum rebate of $200 per Qualifying Device (excluding taxes and installation). The rebate is limited to one device per User on a Site. If applicable, the rebate can cover pre-paid subscription service. Multiple rebates may be considered on a case-by-case basis through the variance process.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  District staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2021-16, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Amending Table XIV-1, Rebate Amounts.  This item will be approved if adopted along with the Consent Calendar.

 

BACKGROUND:  Ordinance No. 163, adopted March 16, 2015, allows changes to the Rebate Amounts Table by resolution rather than by ordinance.  The Rebate Amounts Table was last updated on June 21, 2021, by adoption of Resolution 2021-09.
