FROM: Tom Torlakson Costa Sunne Wright McPeak `JIJJlC1l
DATE: Introduced July 19 , 1988 ,
for Action on July 26, 1988 CO-'*
SUBJECT: Support for Los Vaqueros Reservoir
and Recommended Policies
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECCMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Supervisors support- the Contra Costa Water
District ( CCWD) placing a bond measure before the voters in
November, 1988, for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir Project and
further, request the District to prohibit the facility to be
used: ( a) in conjunction with a Peripheral Canal or any
isolated Delta transfer facility; and (b) for the purpose or
in conjunction with any plan to increase the level of
exports out of the Delta.
BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors has previously supported the Los
Vaqueros/Kellogg Reservoir Project and urged the CCWD to
move forward with the project. It is important to make
progress on this project in 1988, particularly following a
dry year and before the next session of the Legislature
when there is likely to be another "water grab" attempt.
However, it is also important for the CCWD voters to ensure
that the Los Vaqueros Reservoir project will be used to
improve water quality in our region and not be used by
others to increase exports or destroy the Bay-Delta Estuary
by connecting it to a Peripheral Canal scheme in the future.
