3. ACTION CALENDAR
3.1. Citizen's Advisory Committee Structure and Re-Organization
The Committee Discussed electing new leadership. Ms. Spencer-Borden
nominated Mr. Boznanski to continue serving as the Committee's Chair
and the rest of the Committee unanimously approved that nomination. Mr.
Buck nominated Ms. Spencer-Borden as Vice Chair. Mr. Llanos
nominated Mr. Guse, who was not in attendance. The majority of the
Committee approved naming Ms. Spencer-Borden as Vice Chair. Next
the Committee discussed when these positions should come up for re-
organization and rotation, either mirroring the District's fiscal year, or the
calendar year as does the YLWD Board re-organization. The Committee
decided to postpone this decision, along with revisiting the frequency and
scheduled time of the CAC meetings, until their next meeting in July.
The Committee decided that a Secretary would not be needed as staff is
doing an adequate job of capturing meeting minutes and preparing
agendas for the Committee.
3.2. Committee's Mission Statement and Purpose
The Committee adopted the following Mission Statement and Purpose:
The Citizens Advisory Committee will seek and provide community input
to the District staff and the Board of Directors and will assist in building
community knowledge and awareness of the District's plans, projects and
initiatives.

4. ACTION CALENDAR
4.1. Recap of CAC Tour of the District
The Committee briefly touched upon the June 3, 2011 tour of the District
facilities. Mr. Boznanski mentioned that the Elk Mountain Reservoir was
disguised well. This brought up a separate conversation about the fact
that most District facilities are buried.
4.2. Elk Mountain Reservoir Practice Field Project Update
Mr. Micalizzi updated the Committee on the proposed Elk Mountain
Reservoir Practice Field Project, and informed the Committee about the
neighborhood meeting scheduled for July 21, 2011 at the Elk Mountain
Reservoir site. Several Committee members commented about the need
for such facilities including Mr. Mole, who said he may be interested in
attending that meeting if available.
4.3. Citizens Advisory Committee Member to Present Meeting Minutes at Next
Board of Directors Meeting on July 14, 2011
It was first mentioned in the Action Calendar under item 3.1. by Mr. Buck
that Committee members adopt a rotation for delivering the summary of
their meeting to the Board of Directors, to offer more of an opportunity for
Committee members to assume positions of responsibility and to better
indoctrinate the CAC to the District and to the Board. The Committee
decided to rotate that responsibility alphabetically, skipping those who
have done it in the past, until all have had a chance to attend and deliver
minutes to the Board. Mr. Baker, as the first on the list alphabetically, is
slated to do so for the Board Meeting on July 14, 2011. Ms. Spencer-
Borden will stand in as an alternate if Mr. Baker is not available.
4.4. Future Agenda Items
■ AWWA QualServe Employee Survey Results and Executive
Summary
■ Rate Structure and Financial Planning
■ FY 2011/12 Budget and District's Strategic Plan
■ Hard Water Causes and Effects
5. ADJOURNMENT
