Body
SUMMARY:
A date for the public hearing in April needs to be established in February 2017 in order to provide for advance notice to well owners and surface water users. Staff recommends that the Board set Tuesday, April 11, 2017 for the public hearing in accordance with this year's budget and groundwater production charge setting schedule; and close the public hearing on April 25, 2017.
The Report on Activities in the Protection and Augmentation of the Water Supplies of the District is prepared annually in accordance with Section 26.5 of the District Act. Section 26.6 of the District Act requires the Report be filed with the Clerk of the Board on or before the first Tuesday in April and that a public hearing be held on or before the fourth Tuesday in April. The Report will be filed with the Clerk of the Board on Friday, February 24, 2017 and available for public review thereafter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Though setting the date for a public hearing does not have any direct financial impact, decisions made, if any, at the public hearings may affect the future finances of the Water Utility Enterprise.
CEQA:
The recommended action does not constitute a project under CEQA because it does not have a potential for resulting in direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
