SPECIAL MEETING
WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1991
4:30P.M.
The meeting was called to order at 4:48p.m. by Chairman Salvaggio
in the Water Resources Conference Room.
The roll was called as follows:
Present: Salvaggio, Chairman; Brunni
Absent: Peterson
Assembly Bill No. 2090 (Katz Bill) was referred to the Water Board
at the last Council Meeting by Councilmembe~ McDermott. This item was
brought before the Board by Mr. Paul Dow and Mr. Tom Stetson. Since the
meeting was called, staff has found that the Bill had been "killed" in
the Senate, at least for this year. It was made a two year Bill, which
means it can be renewed after the first of the year when the Senate goes
back into session. Staff had intended to recommend that the Board oppose
this Bill, but at this point will ask that it be "tabled" until it is
brought before the Senate in January. At that time staff will examine
the Bill again to see what changes have been made, if any, and report
back to the Water Board. It was recommended by Councilmember Salvaggio'
that a report be sent to City Council explaining the problems of this Bill
and letting them know that the Board will continue to monitor and update
them on its status if it comes up again at the next legislative session.
Councilmember Brunni stated she wants the Board's objections to the Katz Bill
known to the City Council so they will be aware of the problems this would
cause for the City of Bakersfield and other major water purveyors. It was
also recommended by Councilmember Salvaggio that a letter be sent to Mr. Katz
with coPies to the appropriate Assemblymen and Senators regarding the problems
our City has with this Bill. A motion was made by Councilmember Salvaggio
that the above report and letter be done. Motion passed.
The Kern County Water Agency correspondence to the California Regional
Water Quality Control Board was brought before the Board by Mr. Florn Core.
This item was discussed at great length with suggestions from the Board to
respond to this correspondence with a letter to the Agency. Staff recommended
at this time it would be best to wait for an answer from the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board and proceed from there.
The next Water Board meeting date was set for October 22, 1991
at 5:15p.m.
The meeting adjourned at 5:32p.m.
