Body
SUMMARY:
At the request of Board Chair Richard Santos, the Board will participate in a facilitated discussion regarding ensuring effective representation for our constituents as we provide a safe, clean and affordable supply of water, constructing natural flood protection projects, and delivering on our environmental and stream stewardship commitments to our community for a healthy life, environment and economy within our current funding constraints.
The facilitated discussion will focus on the three sub-topics described in the recommendations above and will begin with a brief staff presentation, followed by specific focus questions for the Board to discuss and brainstorm on during this work session, and may involve breaking into work groups consisting of Board members, staff and the public. The desired outcome will be for the Board to identify possible solutions and/or approaches to be assigned to staff to further research feasibility and identify an action plan proposal for the Board’s future consideration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact of the Special Board Leadership Study will be the staff labor hours associated with preparation for the work session and further dependent on the assignments resulting from Recommendation B.
CEQA:
