5.ACTION CALENDAR
5.1 Minutes of the YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee meeting held
on June 4, 2018.
The YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee approved the minutes of
the June 4, 2018 meeting.
6.DISCUSSION ITEMS
6.1 . Pending Legislation – SB 845 (Monning) and SB 998 (Dodd)
Vice President Brooke Jones summarized Senate Bills 845 and 998 and
announced that SB 845 had been defeated. He stated that SB 998 was
passed and is currently on the Governor’s desk for signature. However, the
Water District along with Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA)
continue to oppose the bill and are asking for a veto due to the
administrative burden it places on Districts, the requirement for Districts to
determine income and health status of customers and the shifting of costs
to customers who haven’t incurred those costs.
6.2 State’s Long-term Framework for Indoor/Outdoor Water Use Efficiency
Mr. Jones said that the State is determining how individual Water Serve
Areas’ Water Budgets will be calculated; new indoor standards are defined,
but not outdoor water calculations. The Water District is proactively working
to ascertain how much irrigable space exists for each of the 25,000 parcels
the District serves. Mr. Jones reviewed past drought saving techniques
which helped save water during the drought.
Julia Schultz, resident, commented on the State’s determination of
residents’ outdoor water use and asked about future water restrictions and
how that might be enforced.
General Manager Marc Marcantonio responded and said the state will
calculate an outdoor standard formula, which the district will then
implement. He stated that the Board would be studying the matter along
with public input to come up with a plan.
