For discussion before the Board Mr. Dow, City staff and Mr. Tom
Stetson, Consulting Engineer, presented an update on the development of a
City Water Policy. It was suggested at the last Board meeting that staff
develop a Water Policy for the areas'within the City's sphere of influence.
Some of the main items to be considered in the Water Policy are surface
water, storage in Lake Isabella, groundwater and it's spreading operation,
groundwater storage, miscellaneous water that is sold on a year to year
basis, City's municipal and industrial water system, 2800 Acre water spreading
facility and re-claimed wastewater. To protect the City's water rights,
staff and Mr. Stetson will recommend ~he City be the lead agency for control
and distribution of water in the "Greater Bakersfield" area. Boardmember
Peterson suggested there be a "Water Posse" created to look after City's
water rights and interests. This Water Posse would consist of the City
Manager, City Attorney, Tom Stetson, a member of the City Water staff and
a Council member; and would be referred to in the Water Policy. Mr. Stetson
believes it will probably take 6 months to a year to fully develop the City
Water Policy.
A motion was made by Boardmember Brunni to adjourn to Closed Session
regarding potential litigation of water matters (per Government Code
No. 54956.9(b) (1)).
