Mr. Parker offered to do a presentation at the next CAC meeting where he will
report on his analysis of water districts and how rates differ throughout the
County. He asked for input and was given parameters and suggestions from the
Committee to aide his research and collection of data. The Committee agreed to
let Mr. Parker present at the Committee’s June 27, 2016 meeting.
4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. Governor’s New Executive Order and Updated Conservation Regulations
Staff reported that the Governor had extended the State’s Emergency
Drought Declaration through January 2017. However, the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) had removed mandated reduction
percentages at the retail level, leaving conservation targets to be set
based on available supply. These targets or “self-certifications” will be
subject to SWRCB approval.

4.2. Conservation Update and Monthly Water Supply Report
Staff reported that the District had continued to conserve at a 36% rate
through the month of April and that May’s numbers were trending similarly.
As such, and with the relaxed restrictions from the State, the Board was
set to consider adjusting the stage of the Conservation Ordinance to allow
for 3 day per week watering.
4.3 Director’s Report
Director Melton mentioned that reports and comments made by some of
the public about the District’s Capital Improvement Projects, namely the
Fairmont Booster Pump Station upgrade, being subsidies for future
development was simply not true.
