Riley discussed.
An individual presented an alternative to the pipeline route to reduce impacts to traffic
and neighborhood.
Doug Wilhelm congratulated the Mayors for undertaking a review of the deal projects.

Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority

Regular Meeting Minutes - Thursday, August 13, 2015
2
MPRWA Minutes
Executive Director Cullem spoke to the draft letter prepared to send to Mr. MacLean regarding
the financial guarantee project slant wells. President Burnett added that the notion of the letter
is asking Cal Am to guarantee that if the test well and does not turn into a production well, that
the community would not need to pay for it. It's not appropriate for the community to bear the
full risk and costs.
Vice President Kampe invited comments from the public.
George Riley agreed with President Burnett citing concerns regarding stranded costs he
requested the Authority ask Cal Am to extend the time period for the test wells.
Mr. Check expressed concern regarding the Dana Point well data that the amount of
iron and manganese will impacts production. He expressed concern that there is no
chemical testing occurring which could have impacts to the operation of the plant.
Jan Schriner speaking as a resident and not as a Board Member of the MCWD, liked
the direction of the letter, and wanted to see if there was a rate of return based on
production instead of just the investment.
Nelson Vega thinks Mr. Check's point is valid, but we don't know the full story about
Dana point. He also requested consideration of private companys rights if they take a
risk, they should get a return and that if we ask them to take on risk, we should be
willing to share risk. Please dont lose sight of the goal to get the best price per acre
foot.
Director Edelen spoke to the regulatory hoops that are being required to jump through, are all
self-inflicted by the State government. He spoke to a desal plant in the Middle East and that did
not destroy the environment. Director Rubio spoke to his previous comment that baseline data
should have been collected for a variety of reasons, and in regards to the letter, it is a good
idea and it should be sent but at the same time the risk is already being shared by the
community in many ways. Alternate Director Downey thought the questions and answers
provided are interesting, but expressed frustration that many responses actually had no
answers. She does not want to pay for mistakes, but encouraged moving quickly when there is
a deadline.
Director Pendergrass motioned to authorize sending the proposed letter to Cal Am. It was
seconded by Director Edelen.
President Burnett requested a modification to the motion adding in the notion of stranded costs,
and inclusion of comments with pumping efficiencies. The amendments to the motion were
accepted.
The Authority Board discussed the Sand City intake and the efficiencies, water quality testing
results and the CPUC interpretation of the test wells if they would be considered stranded costs
and cannot be recovered or if it is a necessary project request and can be recovered.
On motion by Director Pendergrass and Seconded by Director Edelen and passed by the
following vote, the Authority Board approved the inclusion of stranded costs into the letter with
the same tone and principal of the draft letter, based on the discussion and authorized staff to
send the revised letter to Cal Am.

MPRWA Minutes
6.
Receive Report, Discuss, and Provide Direction on Final Application to the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) Extension Request,
and Authorize the Authority President to Send a Comment Letter to the Board Staff on Its Draft
Response to the Cal Am Draft CDO Application
Executive Director Cullem spoke to the previous discussions of this item and indicated a draft
response has been received on the draft application. Progress has been made but further
review and modifications are need which will be brought back to the Authority in the future.
Secondly, Mr. Cullem requested the Board to authorize President Burnet to send a comment
letter with respect to the draft responses to the State. Director Rubio expressed concern that
the Authority has not agreed with drafting a combined letter with Cal Am and the Water
Management District. His second concern is that before authorizing the comment letter, he
wants to see the draft responses and this item is too premature.
Ron Witezman questioned why we want to fine the rate as opposed to Cal Am.
Tom Rowley agreed with Mayor Rubio regarding a co-petition citing that that the
independence of the Authority is crucial to the long term accomplishments.
George Riley spoke in agreement of Mr. Rowley and Mr. Weitzman
John Narigi representing the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses, pleased with the
outcome of the final document but remains concerned regarding fault imposed for
missing the milestones. He spoke in support of unification of the Authority and the
District as long as it does not impact the protection of the community.
Jan Shriner speaking as a Marina resident spoke to the confusion of the role of
government vs business. Urged being careful of resenting state government for
protection of people's resources.
Nelson Vega spoke in support of Mr. Narigi and Director Rubio to maintain
independence.
Michael Baer expressed concern that the Authority is assuming risk by co-signing and
that it is contradictory to the letter they discussed previously.
Director Rubio reiterated that before authorizing to send a comment letter he requested to see
the letter and requested to continue both of the items.
On motion by Alternate Director Downey and seconded by Director Rubio and passed by the
Following roll call vote the Authority Directors continued the item until more information is
available.
7.
Approve a Letter from the Water Authority to the Marina City Council Inviting Marina to Name a
Non-voting Hydrogeologist to the MPWSP Hydrogeological Working Group (HWG)
Executive Director Cullem spoke to the item detailed within the letter provided in the packet.

4
MPRWA Minutes
Vice President Kampe invited Comments from the public.
Mark Baer spoke in support of allowing marina who will be impacted by the desal plant,
and questioned Mr. Williams representation.
Ron Weitzman questioned why the City of Marina and not Marina Coast Water District.
Jan Shriner agreed with Mr. Weitzman's question and encouraged someone with
historic information to help the CPUC understand, so there are no inaccurate
assumptions made.
President Burnett answered the question about extending the invitation to the City of Marina
because they are the permitting agency and it will benefit the Authority having the permitting
agency involved to address questions early on and avoid permitting delays down the road. He
then indicated Dennis Williams now represents Cal am, no longer the CPUC.
Director Downey questioned the paragraph that Marina can charge Cal Am and questioned the
intent of the statement. Director Kamp requested changing on the wording of that sentence to
eliminate "as long as the participation facilitated" and substitute with ______.
On motion by Alternate Director Downey and seconded by the Director Edelen and passed by
the following vote, the Authority Directors accepted the letter with the recommended changes.
5-0-1, Pendergrass voted no.
Director Pendergrass did not agree with the motion as it complicates the process and doesnt
think it is the right way to go.
8.
Receive Presentation, Discuss, and Provide Staff Direction on the Deep Water Desal Project
Executive Director Cullem provided procedural instructions on how the presentations would be
facilitated.
David Armanasco from Deep water Desal began by explaining theyre not in competition with
Cal Am but are a regional water solution for the Monterey area. He also shared that the State
Lands Commission is the lead agency for the DWD EIR and the Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary is the lead for the EIR. He assured the Directors that there is enough demand for this
project without the Monterey Peninsula and the project continues to move forward. He noted
that Jim Heitzinger, legal counsel was present in the audience and can respond to permitting
questions. He then introduced the General Manager of Deep water Desal, Kim Adamson who
provided the presentation. He spoke to her qualifications.
Ms. Adamson, spoke to their role as the back-up option for the WMD, they felt it was important
to do. She also clarified that there is no competition between projects. She provided a project
overview/features detailing the desalination process, potential offtakes and explained the intake
and outfall strategy as well as the project schedule, the public/private partnership models and
financing and then highlighted the risks and contingencies for the project. She indicated that
DWD has already done many of the required preliminary reports that will be required for the
EIR so their timeline is extensively truncated.
Vice President Kamp recessed the meeting at 9:06 PM. The meeting was reconvened at 9:16
PM and Mr. Kampe invited public comment on the item.

5
MPRWA Minutes
Mark Baer questioned the pipeline and the easement agreements for intake.
Ron Witezman requested clarification that they have an NOI and not a NOP.
Ms. Adamson responded to public comments that easements and permits for intake piping and
easements related to the Harbor District. She indicated the Harbor District said they would work
with them in fair dealings. They are going through Dynagy easements and confirmed that they
did an NOP according to the State Lands Commission.
Director Rubio questioned the estimated costs per acre foot and asked if that included a
conveyance costs, and in the offtakers risk to which Ms. Adamson responded she does not
have pipeline estimates for the pipeline route to the Peninsula. No cost estimates are available
but they are comparable. Alternate Director Downey questioned the total investment required
and Ms. Adamson indicated they are not ready right now and it would be shared with potential
customers and partners based on specific parameters. Director Edelen questioned how difficult
would it be to increase demand for this project in the future to which Ms Adamsan said there
may be redundancies built in for future growth but growth was not included in the existing EIR.
Vice President Kampe questioned Monterey County's requirement to have public ownership of
desal projects to which the first model falls under that ordinance and the second copies the Cal
Am project model. Legal Counsel Heitzinger responded that the ordinance will have to be
reinterpreted or changed to allow. This model would reduce the risks discussed earlier, and
believes that depending on the partner, it could significantly reduce the cost of water because it
will reduce the cost of debt and there are public policy reasons that they may want to reinterpret
their ordinance differently.
Executive Director Cullem indicated the Kennedy Jenks Study included costs and is available to
the Board and the TAC, which includes cost information, although somewhat dated. The
Directors thanked DWD staff for their presentation.
9.
Receive Presentation, Discuss, and Provide Staff Direction on the Peoples Desal Project
David Balch with the People's Moss Landing Desal project indicted that the largest differences
between the two projects is in the intake and the intake structure. Mr. Balch provided overview
of the project including the goals and objectives, the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, the
existing water demands and needs, proposed project description, overview, the environmental
review process and their draft schedule. He indicated that the project is designed to serve North
Monterey County, and does not include growth and cited this project as being the simplest
project due to all existing infrastructure. Project Hurdles include project financing, long term
and short term, pending litigation in foreclosure of the property, but indicated that they are
working with investors, easements with the Harbor Master as the outfall pipeline easement
needs to be extended due to the expiration. Mr. Balch answered questions of the Board.

6
MPRWA Minutes
Tom Rowley spoke to the need for a back-up project and it's good to hear other projects
are moving forward.
Mr. Chevk agreed for the need for a back-up but also to create competition.
John Narigi agreed with competition but expressed concern regarding no information
about the cost of the project. He suggested the Authority resend the 8-9 questions and
request the alternative projects to answer them factually and specifically.
George Riley spoke to the SPI reports that Cal Am had a schedule advantage and since
the advantage is gone we should be addressing who can get there the quickest and to
ignore other projects is missing an opportunity.
Ron Witesman dont be afraid of Cal Am they will not cut off our water Cal am.
Mark Baer it was a horse race for the regional failed project, let it continue.
Director Rubio expressed frustration with gaps and non-answers in terms of cost conveyance
and until we can compare with specifics, he finds it hard to make an informed decision.
The Directors thanked Mr. Balch for the presentation and acknowledged there is more to learn
about all of the alternative projects.

Executive Director Cullem indicated that staff had started the financial audit for FY 14-15. He also
reported that the Authority is trying to coordinate a representative to attend the California Coastal
Commission meeting in October for the test well. Vice President Kampe indicated he is available
and encouraged other Directors to attend. Finally, Mr. Cullem appreciated that the Directors were
able to attend this alternate session because agendized items are time sensitive. He further
explained that the Authority made it clear that they wanted to see the letters prior to distribution
which are included in the packet. He additionally indicated that the CDO application will not be
ready for the Authority to consider the application and co-application, so we may or may not have
the October 8 meeting if there is no time sensitive actionable items. The goals is to give sufficient

Receive Letter from Cal Am President Rob Maclean in Response to Water Authority Letter
on Financial Guarantee for the MPWSP Slant Wells
Pulled for public comment.
Charles Chek spoke to the letter that states Cal Am denies responsibility for anything that
pertains to issues that the slant well does not perform to specifications, accept as a
functional slant well. If it is not meeting the criteria necessary to not damage aquifers, not
cause damage to Salinas Basin, it is not meeting its need and should be rejected.
On motion by Director Rubio and seconded by Director Edelen and passed unanimously, the
Authority Board received the letter. 6-0
BUSINESS ITEMS
3.
Receive, Discuss and Approve the Final Comment Letter to the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) on the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project Draft
Environmental Impact Report - Cullem
Executive Director Cullem introduced the item explaining that a fourth paragraph was added by
Water Counsel and President Burnett that includes information on basic modeling and return water
alternatives. He further explained that because there will be a recirculation of the DEIR, it will
incorporate a maximum number of options for the public. This will likely be controversial, but it will
avail us of the return water alternatives and there should be a benefit to the rate payers. He
explained it is time sensitive because comments on the DEIR are due September 30th.
Vice President Kampe invited comments from the public
Norm Grut, intervenor, said it adequately addresses and details of the return of water to
satisfy the water rights issues, as well as the Water Resource Agency Act. He expressed
caution with statements that it will reduce the price of the water.
Tom Rowley spoke in support of the extended EIR comment period this this will assist with
making the document more bulletproof.
George Riley expressed concern regarding the cost of water, who would pay for it and who
would buy it. He then spoke to the chart on page 28 as misleading to the public as it may be
the design intent, but the slant well being used will not penetrated below the bay.
Charles Chek expressed frustration that the current rate payers will pay to build the facility
but that Cal Am can sell it later to those who never assisted with the production costs.
Michael Baer commented on previous comments made, expressed frustration there was no
data from the test well collected in the first week, and disagreed that the chart is misleading. He questioned the availability of the letter.
Director Rubio was glad to see the revisions as well as additional opportunity to weigh in. He
questioned the statement that it could result in operating savings, acknowledging the concerns of
the public. He supported the letter that it will clarify the Authority position on the EIR. Director
Talmage thinks that the paragraph four re-draft is reasonable and thorough.
Thursday, September 24, 2015 Regular Alternate Meeting

Director Edelen moved to approve the final comment letter and authorize staff to send it to the
CPUC. Seconded by Director Rubio
Speaking on the second, Vice President Kampe responded to comments made by the public that
the differential of the cost paid vs the cost to produce and questioned why the facility would produce
enough water in excess of our needs. Executive Director Cullem spoke to the initial test well results
and the quantities of water delineated in the settlement agreement, including the additional water
necessary for the replenishment of the aquifers and the Seaside Basin.
Passed unanimously. 6-0
4. Discuss the Status of the Cal Am Request to Resume Test Slant Well Operations and
Authorize Sending a Letter of Support to the California Coastal Commission Prior to its
Consideration of The Request on October 6, 2015. -Crooks
Ian Crooks from Cal Am reported that there is confirmation that the item will be heard at the
California Coastal Commission in October and encouraged any support the community can
provide.
Vice President Kampe invited comments from the public and had no requests to speak.
Director Rubio moved that the letter be approved, and that the Authority Authorize staff to send the
letter of Support to the Coastal Commission. Seconded by Vice President Kampe. Speaking on the
second, Mr. Kampe requested that there be a wording change on paragraph 2, expressing concern
that when read, it implies a direct connection between the test well and the draw down, but it's not
an accurate connection. The drop could be completely independent of the test well, as the drop
continued after the test wells were shut off. Staff requested they be allowed the latitude to fix it or
replace with similar wording. As long as it does not change the intent of the letter, to support the
action, Director Rubio supported the motion change.
The motion was unanimously approved. 6-0
5. Approve Return of Excess Contributions for FY 14-15 and Approve a Reserve Fund for FY 15-16
of Approximately $179,000 from Year-end Balances -Cullem
Executive Director Cullem presented the item and explained that there was less money spent
during the Fiscal Year due to the stalled projects and delays imposed by the CPUC. Additionally,
the percent distributions have changed for fair share contributions and Mr. Cullem spoke to the
revised FY 15-16 contribution percentages to satisfy the new budget approved from the Board. He
indicated the potential credits from the remaining funds from the previous fiscal year will allow for an
"excess contribution" made by each of the Cities to cover the County of Monterey, and the funds
provided by the County will be refunded as a credit to each of the member cities. There are still
expenses, and he is leery about returning funds because there is a lot happening on the front for
the CDO extension. He requested a creation of a reserve fund in exchange of returning funds to
member cities. Mr. Cullem answered questions of the Board.
Ms. Downey questioned why Monterey County would get credit when they didn't pay all of it. Mr.
Cullem detailed all of the payments made by Monterey County, and the in-kind efforts made to the
Authority over the years. Mr. Cullem responded that he does not believe that we are going to
receive any additional funds from Monterey County.

Page 3
Tom Rowley retracted statements regarding the Countys non-participation and thanked the
staff and Directors for efforts that resulted in a partial contribution. He spoke to the efficiency
of the Authority to have a budget under $300,000 annually.
On motion by Alternate Director Talmage and seconded by Director Rubio and passed by
unanimous vote, the Authority Directors approved the return of excess contributions for FY 2014-15
as credits and approved the creation of a reserve fund for FY 15-16 to contain the year end
balances. 6-0

Re:
Water Supply Concerns Relating to the Monterey Peninsulas Military
Installations
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (Water Authority) is a joint powers
agency comprised of the six cities encompassing the Monterey Peninsula. As the Water
Authoritys President, I request your assistance in resolving water supply constraints
facing the Monterey Peninsula and its two military facilities, the Naval Postgraduate
School (NPS) and the Defense Language Institute (DLI). Specifically, I request that the
Governors Military Council work with the Governors Office to: (1) communicate the water
needs of NPS and DLI to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), which
will soon be considering a short-term solution to the Monterey Peninsulas water supply
limitations; and (2) monitor and take all appropriate actions to expedite the water supply
projects discussed below to afford a long-term solution.
The Monterey Peninsula faces significant, but solvable, water supply issues. Our primary
water supply is derived from the underflow of the Carmel River, which is supplemented to
a lesser extent by groundwater from the Seaside Groundwater Basin. The SWRCB has
ordered our water supplier, California American Water Company (Cal-Am), to eliminate
approximately three-quarters of its historical diversions from the Carmel River and has
established a deadline of January 1, 2017 to do so.1 The groundwater supply from the
Seaside Groundwater Basin is also restricted by court order to reduce and ultimately
eliminate present overdraft of the basin.
1
In 1995, the SWRCB determined that: (i) based on the hydrogeologic character of the Carmel River
Valley, the SWRCB possesses jurisdiction over the groundwater supply within the valley diverted by CalAm; (ii) Cal-Ams diversions are unpermitted, and therefore all of its diversions commenced after 1914
(when the Water Commission Act was enacted) are unauthorized; and (iii) Cal-Ams diversions are
adversely affecting the rivers riparian ecosystem. These ecological impacts include reduced river flows that
support numerous species including the Central California Coast Steelhead, a threated species under the
Endangered Species Act.

Governor's Military Council - DRAFT

November 3, 2015
Page 2
The states deadline for Cal-Am to cease its unauthorized Carmel River diversions was
established in a cease and desist order issued in 2009 (CDO 2009-0060). Cal-Am, with
assistance from community representatives, has sought to develop a replacement water
supply for its unauthorized diversions from the Carmel River. Unfortunately, for various
reasons, a replacement water supply will not be in place by the time that the CDOs
present deadline would become effective in 2017.
As a long-term solution, two water supply projects are being designed and permitted,
which we anticipate to be available to substitute for Cal-Ams unauthorized diversions
from the Carmel River by 2020. These projects are: (1) a desalination project referred to
as the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP); and (2) a groundwater
replenishment project (GWR), formally called the Pure Water Monterey project, which
will use advanced treated waste water to replenish the Seaside Groundwater Basin for
subsequent recapture and use.
As a short-term solution, Cal-Am intends to file a petition with the SWRCB later this
month to request a modification of the CDOs 2017 deadline. The Water Authority and the
Water Management District may join in the petition if agreed to by their respective boards.
Most of the details of the proposed CDO extension have been worked out following more
than two years of negotiations among community representatives, SWRCB staff, and
environmental organizations. In short, the proposal would extend the 2017 deadline by
four years in exchange for a partial reduction in Cal-Am diversions next year coupled with
a stairstep schedule of additional reductions that would become effective over the next
five years, unless specified MPWSP/GWR milestones are met. In other words, the
Monterey Peninsula may avoid the most severe water supply reductions over the next five
years, but only if timely progress is made on a replacement supply. We believe the
extension proposal represents an appropriate compromise of the competing social,
economic, and environmental interests affected by Cal-Ams near-term river withdrawals
and also establishes a strong incentive for Cal-Am and local and state interests to
expedite the MPWSP and GWR projects.
I will provide a copy of the petition to the Council when it is finalized later this month. If the
Council concurs with the proposed terms of the CDO extension, the Water Authority
respectfully requests that the Council work with the Governors Office to encourage the
SWRCB to grant the petition. We also urge the Council to apprise the SWRCB of the
water needs of the NPS and DLI and the installations essential importance to the welfare
of California and our nations military.2
The CDO extension, if adopted, affords the Monterey community with a bridge water
supply while the replacement water supply projects proceed. Of course, the importance of
timely completion of these projects cannot be understated. Unfortunately, for a host of
reasons, delays have accompanied both projects, principally the MPWSP.3 Further delays
2
NPS is developing key defense capabilities in cyber-security, asymmetric warfare, operations research
and nano-technology. DLI is the foundation of U.S. intelligence capability and key to our nations homeland
security efforts.

A more detailed history of the projects is set forth in the attached chronology.

will cause significant adverse impacts to the areas water supply. A failure to satisfy
project milestones will result in substantial reductions to Cal-Ams Carmel River
withdrawals under the terms of the CDO extension, assuming it is adopted. In addition,
the projects must be fully operational by 2020 to substitute for the unauthorized Carmel
River diversions when the CDO extension terminates.
The Water Authority respectfully urges the Council to monitor the permitting of the
MPWSP and GWR, and, together with the Governors Office, make every effort to support
timely progress on these critically important projects. Upon your invitation, I would
welcome the opportunity to further brief the Council on the status and schedule of the
projects and to discuss the ways in which the Council and Governors Office could
support timely progress on the projects.
The Monterey Peninsulas mayors, who are also the directors of the Water Authority,
recognize the significant role that the NPS and DLI play in our nations military
preparedness and our communitys social and economic wellbeing. These facilities are
key economic and technology generators in our region and in California as a whole. As
discussed above, viable short- and long-term solutions are available to ensure reliable
water supplies for these facilities. However, extensive collaboration between local and
state government is needed to ensure that the CDO extension is adopted and that the
projects proceed expeditiously.
Thank you for considering these comments and requests for assistance. I look forward to
further discussing these issues with the Council. I also would be happy to participate in
any statewide effort that is mobilized to address the implications of water supply to
Californias military facilities.
Sincerely,
Jason Burnett

Enclosure:
History of the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project

and the Groundwater Replenishment Project
The California American Water Company (Cal Am) is facing serious hurdles in providing potable
water to customers in its Monterey Peninsula area due to several significant regulatory and courtordered restrictions affecting the two primary water sources available to Cal Am.
The first was a conclusion in 1995, by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order
WR 95-10, that 2/3 of Cal Am's long utilized extraction of water from the Carmel River basin was
illegal and adversely affected the public trust resources of the river. Subsequent efforts to get
voter and regulatory approvals for a new dam on the Carmel River or for a desalination project
(Desal) at Moss Landing were unsuccessful. In 2009, the SWRCB issued Cease and Desist
Order CDO 2009-0060 mandating that Cal Am eliminate its illegal take by January 1, 2017.
Second, in 2006, the Seaside Basin Aquifer, Cal Am's only significant alternate water supply
other than the Carmel River, was adjudicated with subsequent restrictions on all users, including
Cal Am, until the basin overdraft was corrected. This adjudication requires a step down of take
from the Seaside Basin over time, which further limits Cal Am's ability to obtain a water supply for
the Monterey Peninsula area.
In 2010, Cal Am entered a public private partnership with the Marina Coast Water District
(MCWD) and the Monterey County Water Resources agency (MCWRA) to construct and operate
a Regional Desal Facility north of Marina. In 2012, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which
was the inability to secure groundwater rights to brackish feed water from the Salinas River
Basin, that partnership fell apart.
On April 23, 2012, Cal Am filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) to construct a Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project (MPWSP) including a Desal
facility north of the City of Marina and drawing feed water from Monterey Bay. A complicating
factor has been the requirement of State agencies for Cal Am to obtain source water from
Monterey Bay by subsurface intakes versus open-water intakes, a relatively untested approach
involving the construction of slant wells, one of which has already been constructed for testing
purposes. The MPWSP also included supplemental but relatively small additional water supplies
such as aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) and recycled water projects in the City of Pacific
Grove.
Twenty-two interveners entered the process, and sixteen of these ultimately agreed to a
proposed settlement agreement which allowed for either a 9.6 million gallon per day (MGD) desal
facility, or "variant" which consists of a 6.4 MGD desal along with a Monterey Regional Water
Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA) 3.2 MGD wastewater recycling facility, known as the Pure
Water Monterey/Groundwater Replenishment project (PWM/GWR). The MPWSP DEIR identifies
the variant as the environmentally superior alternative. The GWR EIR has been completed and
certified and could produce water as early as 2018. The project awaits finalization of an umbrella
580 PACIFIC ST, ROOM 6 MONTEREY CALIFORNIA 93940 www.mprwa.org
agreement with participating public agencies and funding through the State Revolving Fund
(SRF).
The MPWSP environmental review has run into a delay due to some conflict of interest issues
with the EIR consultant. The CPUC is trying to resolve the problem in a timely way. To facilitate
its resolution, the DEIR will be re-circulated with the EIS in 2016. Following testimony from the
settling parties and others, the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN), needed
to authorize Cal Am to build the MPWSP, should be issued by the CPUC at the end of 2016. As
currently scheduled, the MPWSP should be complete and operational by the end of 2020.

activities on a periodic basis. It is the responsibility of the Executive Director to implement all financial
policies and procedures and coordination of the following: Annual budget presentation, management
of the contracts and expenditures, monitoring accounts receivables, and approving revenue and
expenditure objectives in accordance with the Board approved expenditures and budget.
Page 2
The Executive Director, Clerk and Finance Specialist have the day-to-day operations responsibility for
managing agency funds, ensuring the accuracy of the accounting records, internal controls, financial
objectives and policies, financial statement preparation, and bank reconciliation review and approval.
The Finance Specialist, supervised by the Clerk, is responsible for the preparation of the accounts
payable processing, cash receipts input, journal entries for general ledger, form 1099 reporting, as well
as bank reconciliations.
1.c General Journal Entry Procedures, Expenditures and Disbursements
The following procedure is to ensure timely and correct payments to vendors and contractors who
provide the Authority with services; to assure that no disbursement of agency monies shall be made
unless the obligation is supported by accounting evidence in proper form, and to ensure that sufficient
money is available to make disbursements.
All expenditures shall be approved by either Board Action, or by the Executive Director through the
powers granted to him in the By-laws.
All disbursements for the authority will be made by check outlined in the process below.
Once an invoice is received, it is reviewed and approved by the Director, or staff member initiating the
service contract or monitoring the contractor performance. Once approved, a written approval is
submitted to the Clerk to verify it was an approved board action and the expenditure is recorded against
the current adopted budget.
The Clerk will forward the approved invoice to the Finance Specialist for check processing. Once the
check is processed, it is provided to the Clerk, along with all supporting documentation who will then
deliver to the directors for signature as required by the check signing policy as listed in the By-laws.
Upon payment of a bill, a copy of the check shall be stapled onto the bill with supporting documentation
and expenditure authority. The paid invoices shall be filed alphabetically according to vendor name and
shall be kept on a fiscal year basis on file.

Item No: 6.
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution 2015-XX, Approving Donald G.

Freeman as Legal Counsel through December 31, 2016 and
Authorizing the Authority President to Execute a Contract
Extension with Perry Freeman at a Price not-to-exceed
$36,000
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority
(MPRWA) adopt Resolution 2015-XX approving Donald G. Freeman as
legal counsel through December 31, 2016 and authorizing the Authority
President to execute a contract extension with Perry Freeman at a price
not-to-exceed $36,000.
DISCUSSION:
Following a formal Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for legal services for
the Water Authority conducted during August and September 2012, an AdHoc committee of the MPRWA recommended selection of Perry and
Freeman (Donald G. Freeman). On September 27, 2012, the Water
Authority adopted a resolution selecting Mr. Freeman to be legal counsel.
On December 10, 2012, Mr. Freeman provided the Water Authority with
waivers of conflict of interest from all other participating jurisdictions to
which he has professional, contractual obligations.
Due to Don Freeman's extensive knowledge of the water supply issues that
the Water Authority has dealt with the last three years, and in light of his
excellent performance in the position of Authority Counsel, the Executive
Director recommends the Authority maintains continuity with Donald G.
Freeman, at least through 31 December 2016.
06/12
The adopted budget for FY 2015-16 includes $36,000 for Legal Counsel
which should be adequate for services through June 30, 2016, by which
time a new budget for FY 2016-17 will have been adopted.
Resolution 2015-XX approves an extension of Donald G. Freeman as
Authority legal counsel through December 31, 2016 and authorizing the
Authority President to execute a contract extension accordingly.

Agenda Report
FROM:

Item No: 7.
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution 2015-YY, Approving Brownstein

Hyatt Farber Schreck as Special Legal Counsel through
December 31, 2016 and Authorizing the Authority
President to Execute a Contract Extension at a Price notto-Exceed $100,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
(MPRWA) adopt Resolution 2015-YY approving Brownstein Hyatt Farber
Schreck, LLP as Special Legal Counsel for the period January 1, 2016
through December 31, 2016 and authorize the Authority President to
extend a contract with Brownstein at the current hourly rates and a total
contract price not-to-exceed $100,000.
DISCUSSION:
In March 2012, The Authority negotiated an agreement for Attorney of
Record services with Brownstein. The firm provided special expertise in
water law, at a reduced rate, in support of Water Authority formation and
activities.
For reasons outlined in the staff report on the subject at the Water Authority
meeting of November 13, 2014, the Authority extended the Brownstein
agreement to December 31, 2015 and approved preparation of a contract
accordingly.
The CPUC process, in particular hearings related to approval of the
EIR/EIS and issuance of Cal Am's Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity(CPCN), as well as expected future negotiations with the State
06/12
Water Resources Control Board on the Cease and Desist Order, will
continue to require a substantial amount of specialized legal work in 2016.
To insure continuity in Special Legal Counsel services, the Executive
Director recommends the Authority extend the contract with Brownstein
through 31 December 2016.
BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS:
In the approved budget for FY 2015-2016 the Water Authority authorized
an expenditure for Special Legal Counsel not-to-exceed $100,000. These
funds are expected to be sufficient for these legal services through the
current fiscal year. A new budget for FY 2016-2017 will need to consider
funding of Special Legal Services in June 2016.

Agenda Report
FROM:

Item No: 8.
SUBJECT: Receive, Discuss, and Provide Direction on Final Application to

the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) to Modify
Cease and Desist Order (CDO) 2009-0060 and Decide
Whether to Co-apply or Send A Letter of Support
RECOMMENDATION:
(MPRWA) consider the final version of the Application for a four-year
extension of the CDO 2009-60 deadline date, and determine whether to cosign the application to modify, along with California American Water Co.
(Cal Am) and the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District
(MPWMD), or alternately to send a letter of support.
DISCUSSION:
MPRWA, MPWMD, Cal Am, SWRCB staff, and others have conducted
intensive discussions over the last 18 months in an effort to craft a time
extension and other changes in CDO 2009-0060 which would include
targets that are reasonably attainable, are fair to the ratepayers, and
achieve the objective of reducing unauthorized overdrafts of the Carmel
River.
A copy of Cal Am's proposed Application to Modify with Attachment 1
(proposed modified CDO), is enclosed at Attachment A. Key elements in
Cal Am's proposal include:
A four-year extension of the CDO deadline
A new reduction schedule in regular increments during the extension
Consideration by the SWRCB of suspension of water reductions for a
missed milestone if the Board decides it was outside the control of
Cal-Am, MPWMD, and the Water Authority.
Ability carryover a certain amount of water savings from year-to-year
06/12
The MPRWA and the MPWMD, following several months of public input
and staff coordination, has considered whether they should co-sign the
Application for Extension in order to maintain local public agency standing
in the process and to emphasize community unity on the proposed CDO
modification.
Submission of an Application for Amendment is time sensitive since the
SWRCB could take up to a year to take final action, so we are anxious to
finalize the application as soon as possible.
