Summary: Tuesday, July 31, 2012 Yesterday, I told you that “water matters,” and advertised the Water Matters newsletter published by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. Water policy concerns in Monterey County, of course, are not just restricted to the Peninsula. A quick review of what the Monterey County Board of Supervisors is doing today makes that clear. Agenda Item #27 on the Board’s agenda relates to an assessment district for the Aromas Water District. The “real action” on water policy, however, is found in a separate joint meeting agenda for the Board of Supervisors of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency and the Monterey County Water Resources Agency Board of Directors. Here are the topics to be covered in that joint meeting: What to do about multiple lawsuits (all to be discussed in a “closed session”) Disputes with the San Luis Obispo Flood Control and Water Conservation District The Greater Monterey County Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Storm Water Management in Salinas The Pajaro River Bench Excavation and Flood Damage Reduction Projects The Salinas River Channel Maintenance Program Emergency Repairs on the Salinas River Diversion Facility The Carmel River Lagoon Project; and The Agricultural Discharge Order from the Regional Water Quality Control Board Get more information at kusp.org/landuse.
