Chairperson Torlakson: There appears to be mutual agreement between the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and the EBMUD Board concerning the need for a clear and effective method for ensuring coordinated land use and water supply decisions . The specifics for satisfying this need, ,however, have thus far eluded us . The District wants to make sure that the Board of Supervisors clearly understands the District' s water supply availability and our strategies for meeting future needs . The District Board discussed -these. matters and proposes that the District and Contra Costa- County Boards meet to ensure, .the - accuracy of our mutual understandings. and. to discuss workable methods for maximizing. opportunities to ensure appropriate coordination between land use and water. sup.ply decisions . , Given Senator Boatwright' s request . that the County and the District meet on this matter prior to the next legislative session, it would seem appropriate to meet at the earliest mutually agreeable opportunity. A District committee, consisting of Directors Cohen, Coleman and Flashman, has been appointed by the Board to pursue this matter with you. A full public discussion of these matters at the earliest opportunity would be very useful . The, District' s selection of committee members was partly driven by the member' s availability for meeting with the Board of Supervisors . Mr. John Lampe of the District' s staff would be pleased to work with your office to coordinate a meeting time of mutual convenience and assist in the development of an agenda to make the time spent most productive . Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if that would assist to expedite a joint meeting of representatives of our Boards in public session. I am also in, receipt of your October 7, 1993 letter requesting , District participation in a meeting of the Water Committee on October 25, -1993 .
