Supporting Document 3.02

Dirk addressed the Board. Concerns from various entities of too much County involvement. Sup. Chamberlain commented - on page 17-does not like the regulation of having water shut off if their is a shortage. Doesn't like the idea that the government can regulate how much water we use. Water Transfers - doesn't think the gov't should be involved with that either. Have to have the freedom to be able to use the water as needed. Sup. McGowan asked about voluntary vs involuntary use. The Group has to address the common use value. Who is responsible to protect that resource? What is the mechanism to protect that water resource? Sup. Thomson - page 19 - regarding transfers. Sup. McGowan - fundamental question - re collaborative approach - County is charged with the responsibility as they have a larger interest in this whole issue. Sup. Rexroad - what is the authority of the JPA? Is it highest level of authority? Robyn answered. Best way to address this is for people to get more involved in the water issues vs creating a JPA. Feels the WRA covers this very well already. This Board would be crazy to assume the authority. Can't see what the JPA would do that the WRA and Flood Control doesn't do already.

Dirk - Idea is to link these entities that there can be more cohesiveness with a JPA. This was driven by the fear that the Board would take over the running of the water in the county. That's how the people came to the table in the first place. Matt wonders what the JPA can do that they cannot do already. Same group of people doing the job that they already do. McGowan - Ordinance dealt with the impact. Sup. Provenza commented. Sup. McGowan commented - What happens when the voluntary part doesn't work? Supervisor Thomson commented - voiced her appreciation for all the hard work. Needs weighted voting on the JPA Great concerns of using tax payers money that does not have the transparency. Great concerns that there is not an environmental community at the JPA table. How is the budget going to be allocated? Report states status quo not acceptable, that is why this is being presented and worked on.

Sup Rexroad feels that we should not go forward on the JPA idea - use what we have already. Sup. McGowan - feels we need greater collaboration, so we should move forward. Governance is the issue. The JPA that usurps the Board is something that Sup. McGowan does not want to be part of. Is there a JPA structure that is worth setting up? (Provenza) . McGowan - summarized the thoughts of the board.

Matt concludes there is no reason for a JPA based on the board' s comments. Motion - Pr/Mc return to group and seek a JPA model that will not dilute the autho. of the board and at the same time deliver a benefit to the county Is there anymodel that does not dilute the autho of the board and provide positive improvement to the county. 5/0

take break beg at 10:30 am

Motion to Minute Order No. 10-57: Approved recommended action and directed staff to return to the Water Committee to see if there is a JPA model that will not dilute the authority of the Board of Supervisors and at the same time would provide a positive improvement toward county water issues. Staff was also directed to collate a list of Board feedback related to a countywide water governance structure and groundwater management plan and distribute list to the Board.  Moved by Provenza, seconded by McGowan.

Rexroad - what is the authority of the JPA? Is it highest level of authority? Robyn answered. Best way to address this is for people to get more involved in the water issues vs creating a JPA. Feels the WRA covers this very well already. This Board would be crazy to assume the authority. Can't see what the JPA would do that the WRA and Flood Control doesn't do already.

Dirk - Idea is to link these entities that there can be more cohesiveness with a JPA. This was driven by the fear that the Board would take over the running of the water in the county. That's how the people came to the table in the first place. Matt wonders what the JPA can do that they cannot do already. Same group of people doing the job that they already do. McGowan - Ordinance dealt with the impact. Sup. Provenza commented. Sup. McGowan commented - What happens when the voluntary part doesn't work? Supervisor Thomson commented - voiced her appreciation for all the hard work. Needs weighted voting on the JPA Great concerns of using tax payers money that does not have the transparency. Great concerns that there is not an environmental community at the JPA table. How is the budget going to be allocated? Report states status quo not acceptable, that is why this is being presented and worked on.

Sup Rexroad feels that we should not go forward on the JPA idea - use what we have already. Sup. McGowan - feels we need greater collaboration, so we should move forward. Governance is the issue. The JPA that usurps the Board is something that Sup. McGowan does not want to be part of. Is there a JPA structure that is worth setting up? (Provenza) . McGowan - summarized the thoughts of the board.

Matt concludes there is no reason for a JPA based on the board' s comments. Motion - Pr/Mc return to group and seek a JPA model that will not dilute the autho. of the board and at the same time deliver a benefit to the county Is there anymodel that does not dilute the autho of the board and provide positive improvement to the county. 5/0
