Authorize a contribution of $32,000 to the Committee for Water Policy Consensus
for fiscal year (FY) 1990-91.'
FINANCIAL IMPACT'
The FY 1990-91 Water Agency budget was prepared to include the $32,000
allocation to the Committee for Water Policy Consensus. (CWPC) .
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECONMENDATIONS
The Water Committee has recommTended that funds included in the FY 1990-91 Water
Agency budget request be released to the CWPC i.mmmediately. The County's FY
1989-90 contribution was $201000.
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 GWPC 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.
