Committee for Water Policy Consensus county Contribution
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize a contribution of $20, 000 to the Committee for Water
Policy Consensus -for fiscal year (FY) 1989-90 and have the
Auditor-Controller immediately release these funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The FY 1989-90 Water Agency budget request is prepared to include
the $20,000 allocation to the Committee for Water Policy
Consensus (CWPC) . Funds are available at this time in the FY
1988-89 budget for the FY 1989-90 contribution.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The Water Committee has recommended that funds included in the FY
1989-90 Water Agency . budget request be released to the CWPC
immediately. The CWPC has requested the early allocation for
cash flow purposes. The County' s FY 1989-90 contribution was
$19,000.
The CWPC was formed in 1983 after the Peripheral Canal conflict,
to identify and formulate a unified water policy for Northern
California. Since that time, overall goals include "public
education about water problems in California and to promote
solutions which are economically feasible and environmentally
sound. " The CWPC has been instrumental in facilitating agreement
on such issues as water conservation through meetings and other
communications with often-opposing entities. The CWPC is also
playing a key role in monitoring the Bay-Delta hearings,
resulting in substantial savings to the County in staff time and
attorneys' fees.
