Robyn Drivon addressed the Board - and introduced Stuart Somach

Stuart Somach, county's special counsel in respect to water issues- addressed the Board; thinks need some workshops on issue; ordinance that requires permits to put in wells and remove wells, spacing of wells, abandonment, basins;

wants to recommend to protect the groundwater; police power;

ordinance review, protect groundwater for y.c. - protect water quality; 1- quantities of water; 2-use of basin is not being degraded (water quality); concept of info. gathering, how much water is being taken, includes a robust stakeholder group for how fast to mitigate info; some aspects need stakeholder; this ordinance uses; grafted other ordinances from other counties he thought; second element: transfer water - FEES, Uder ord. fees need to go to the voters;

left lots of gaps, has a lot of questions. Third area: Should the county have a water agency? talking about an agency that is coextensively w/all of yolo county, to be able to look at a myriad of issues; Matt how would the county impacted the sale of the property. Matt -

Stuart gave Matt examples - Yamada - re McCormik ranch; what rexroad raises, is nothing protects us; thinks we have the beginnings of that, good example in Solano County; can't afford to be asleep at the wheel w/what's going on w/water, as long as we trust eachother; Stuart recommends the development of a Y.C. Water agency

Talking about a countywide entity that takes care of water, there are land issues,

Recommends to look at that as a legislative model as to what you want to do, suggested from el dorado, etc. also governance, solano county has a lot of other models; the county could add members, add agriculture representatives, also city representatives, one final statement; stands by proposals he is making, need a lot of work and public input; county needs water ordinance, look at legit water ordinance transit; come up w/a mechanism to mitigate that; need a water agency to do xxx and xxxx; Hopes we have workshops, etc. has a lot of questions.

Duane - are you attending the WRA meetings? and how do you know they are not being met?

Stuart - voluntary efforts are not enough; every time the BOS does not do something re: water, they are blamed for it.

Mariko Yamada - comments - sometimes one word - county water agency, when we say countywide water agency gives a more comfort level; need to strengthen the water supply; Matt - questions - stuart - not criticising the - you have countywide issues that need to be addressed. The BOS needs a bigger role in what they are doing in terms of large, w/ a governing focus. there are agricultural interests. Matt, it comes w/a great cost.

Public Comment: Tim Miramontes, president of the Yolo County Farm Bureau, posed questions, re: taxes, don’t thinks the county needs to get involved in that; Mike, if you are transferring water down south, and that operation has an adverse action in your neighbor’s water supply; Matt, this is really an attempt to get right of water rights; Yamada, what we are discussing is public property rights; Charles Gordon, thinks additional new sources of groundwater - new surface water - thinks this is a direct violation of private property rights, need to recraft ordinance; Joe Martinez - concerned they didn’t have any input on this, central valley project, you want to manage water, you do it by developing, wants ordinance tabled or reworded; Tim O’Halloran, re other meetings being held, comment on proposals- understands that it’s simply to open a discussion, understands that bay delta are some of the motivating factors, before solutions are proposed

Tim O'Halloran - continued comments: groundwater quality, quantity, as presented in past they work w/18 different agencies to coordinate the whole Y.C. - you could get online and get info. re groundwater in y.c.- some conflicting issues; most covered by AB 3030 plans, there are a lot of wells out there, over 200 wells; they spend a lot of $ doing that; but sites monitoring, it affects the dams, levy's, the WRA; much more to comment on ordinance; the y.c. code already involves many of the issues; fears impact of this sort of discussion on that; water transfer ordinance, they support that proposal, it does raise serious concerns; be very careful on y.c. water, shows where most surface water, none of the surface water is from y.c.; every organizational structure - knows of no law to stop that; Imperial county was 150,000 people; there are creative approach ways to do that. Re: comment - we looked at water rights, very difficult to transfer water; much more to say about proposals; women in ucd water transfer plant; the y.c. ag commission, rd 108 doing a great system; dunnigan, RD 2025; y.c. and city of woodland; how much you bite off, etc., applauds county - if ways to solve problems,

Sup Yamada - indicated she has a great respect for his work, the board did not intend to diminish his work, is looking forward to working w/him, want to help;

Helen - the board can't enter a discussion without having it roll out somehow; we can help fix some of the decaying infrastructure; there are ways to work together and fix the infrastructure;

Yamada proposed that the Board have a joint meeting w/the Y.C. Water Transportation. Matt - to throw this out on the table, we don't have the appearance to. Douglass Baxter - head of utility section of city of Woodland, agrees w/Tim O'Halloran's comments, there are a lot of things, the wells, hopes we move forward and try to minimize duplication of effort, and look at areas of concern the county may have; the city of woodland is working on the groundwater management plan, lots of things going on; city of davis, etc. are working on surface water- things that are being done; appreciates county being a partner; Todd Manley- works for Northern California Water Association, they have some concerns, suggested a public process would be very healthy, also thinks written comments would be good.

Mike - supports Stuart's suggestion, create workshops; supports the board having a greater level of responsibility on water issues; thinks we should expand our legislative resources re water.

Helen - has had discussions w/Tim O'Halloran, is very concerned about where we are going; very voluntary agreement, there is no money; need to get smarter and more strategic, time for a water agency is here.

***Helen- suggested that we begin w/some staff and Stuart, a board member or two, some workshops, have a discussion, and come back w/suggestions for this county.

Yamada - water is a finite resource, need to work better as a team in protecting - wants a joint meeting w/ y.c. Flood control dist. - thinks we could have done a better job on how this issue was introduced.

Helen - does not dissagree w/having meetings w/y.c. Flood control Dist.

Matt - re: water resource association - to have sups. at the table, isn't always the answer to our problems;

Duane, the only thing he is in agreements w/is the groundwater ordinance for export. also goes to a lot of WRA meetings

****MOTION: Mike/thomson - recommended action - thinks we need to go to next step and create mechanism for - start w/workshop, come back w/how to present this; give direction to staff for process to commence the prep of an ordinance w/a fee resolution; w/
recommending staff recommendation. seconded by Helen; asked staff to bring back a mechanism, they decide,
Robyn - come back in - as a joint meeting

Matt - why don’t we go and have a public forum, or have different solutions; mike, wants to see us come back w/a county water structure; Matt, why not take written comments? Mike, not being fair to process - need to give direction;
