BACKGROUND
On June 19, 1990 the 1989-90, Grand Jury submitted the report entitled "Los
Vaqueros Reservoir Project" which was subsequently referred to the Internal
Operations Committee. On September 20, - 1990 our Committee met to discuss the
recommendations and review proposed responses. At the conclusion of these
discussions we prepared the attached response utilizing a format suggested by a
previous Grand Jury which requested that responses clearly specify:
A. Whether the recommendation is accepted or adopted;
B. If the recommendation is accepted, a statement as to who will be responsible
for implementation and a definite target date;
C. A delineation of constraints if a recommendation is accepted but cannot be
implemented within the calendar year; and
D. The reason for not adopting a recommendation.
Responses to Grand Jury recommendations coming from our Committee will follow this
format as closely as possible.

LOS VAQUEROS RESERVOIR PROJECT
Recommendation
Ensure that adequate water sources are in place prior to approval of future
development.
Response
A. This recommendation is adopted.
B. The County has had a long-standing requirement whereby potential new
developments must show a water source, along with availability of other
utilities, prior to development approvals. This is usually accomplished
through water district prior approval and submittal of a "will-serve" letter,
other form letter, or rubber stamp approval. This approval is required as
part of the Contra Costa County Growth Management Program which insures that
no growth will occur without adequate water supplies.
After the results of the November 6, 1990 election are available and the
Board of Supervisors has had an opportunity to assess their overall impact on
future development in this County, the Board of Supervisors should request a
meeting with the Board of Directors of the Contra Costa Water District. The
purpose of this meeting should be to reach a consensus with the Water
District on the number of additional customers which can be safely
accommodated within the existing allocation of water the District receives
from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and how these additional hook-ups might
be allocated to the various local jurisdictions which have the authority to
approve land use entitlements. The purpose of reaching such a consensus must
be to do some long-range planning with the Water District to insure that
there will be water available for future developments are not permitted or
encouraged if there is little or no prospect that water will be available at
the time the development is approved.
