REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Water Committee, at its February 2, 1987 meeting, considered each of
the proposed legislative bills and examined the rationale that justified
the above-stated positions for consistency' with the County' s established
water policy. A summary of the bills and rationale for County positions
has been provided to Board members and is on file with the County Community
Development Department.
Concerning SB 182, the bill as introduced was only intended to address
improving the existing situation in the Delta. There have been several
proposals for modifications to the Delta to allow for increased Delta water
export. If any of these proposals is implemented, it will be necessary to
increase the level of funding in SB 182 due to the increased need for Delta
levee improvements and maintenance from a larger water export project.
