Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On April 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisor approved the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) creating the Ukiah Valley Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) and adopted a Resolution appointing Supervisor Carre Brown as Director and Supervisor Dan Hamburg as Alternate Director to serve on the GSA Board of Directors.
Summary of Request:
In order to provide the needed capital to initially fund the Agency, the JPA specifies the Agency shall be initially funded by a contribution from initial Members in the amount established in the bylaws, which contribution shall be set at an equal dollar amount for initial Members. In subsequent years, the Agency may be funded through additional voluntary contributions by all Members, and as otherwise provided in Chapter 8 of SGMA (commencing with Section 10730 of the Water Code).
The GSA Board is requesting an initial contribution of $5,000 from each initial member (Mendocino County, City of Ukiah, Upper Russian River Water Agency and Russian River Flood Control). In addition, the agreement names the County as the Treasure and Controller for the Agency. The Mendocino County Water Agency will be fulfilling this obligation. The JPA and Agency’s proposed Fiscal Year 2017-2018 budget is attached for review.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide alternative direction.
