The Pacheco Reservoir Exploratory Ad Hoc Committee recommends that the Board authorize the Interim CEO to execute the Principles of Agreement - Submittal of Proposition 1 Application and Joint Investigation of Pacheco Reservoir Expansion

 

 

Body

SUMMARY:

On February 23, 2017, the Board’s Pacheco Reservoir Exploratory Ad Hoc Committee (Committee) met with board members of the Pacheco Pass Water District (Pacheco Pass) and San Benito County Water District (San Benito) regarding the potential enlargement of Pacheco Reservoir and application for funding from the State’s Proposition 1 Water Storage Investment Program for the reservoir enlargement project.

 

Further, at its regular meeting on February 28, 2017, the Board authorized the Interim CEO to execute a single source consultant agreement to prepare a Proposition 1 funding application for Pacheco Reservoir expansion.

 

In the February 23 Committee meeting, draft principles of agreement among Pacheco Pass, San Benito, and the District were presented and discussed. The principles provide for commitments among the parties for coordination, communication and support to prepare and submit an application for Proposition 1 funding.  Representatives of Pacheco Pass and San Benito executed this document on February 27, 2017 (Attachment 1).  The Committee recommends that the Board authorize the Interim CEO to execute these principles.

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This item includes an anticipated reimbursement by San Benito to the District not to exceed $45,000, or 5% of the cost of the consultant agreement, not to exceed $900,000 in project 60042001 for preparing a Proposition 1 funding application.

 

 

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 change in the physical environment.
