Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Neil Kaufman
Date: August 30, 2005
Subject: Adoption of Urban Water Management Plan
1. Why this matter is before the board:
The District is required by Adopt an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) as described in
the California Water Code.
2. History:
Earlier on 2005, two presentations were made to the Board regarding preparation of an UWMP. As
discussed at the first presentation, preparation of an UWMP is not subject to review under CEQA.
The process for adopting an UWMP is summarized below:
• Preparation of Draft Document
• Hold public hearing
• Notify local public agencies and water providers of public hearing
• Finalize UWMP and file with California DWR
The District is required to adopt and submit the UWMP to DWR by December 31, 2005.
3. New information:
The Draft Document has been prepared and presented to the Board. The proposed ordinance
governing water supply emergencies has been revised based upon Board input.
At this point, the District should schedule a public hearing and then notify local public agencies and
water providers of public hearing. A hearing date of October 5, 2005 is suggested.
4. Recommendation:
1) The Board schedule a public hearing for October 5, 2005 to hear public comment
regarding the Draft UWMP,
2) The Board authorize staff to notify local public agencies and water providers of the hearing
on October 5, 2005.
