The CUWCC is set to vote on proposed revisions to the Memorandum of Understanding and the Best Management Practices December 2008.  With the date fast approaching, we invite Group 1 members to share their thoughts, positions or concerns on these key issues. Below, Matt Lyons from the Long Beach Water Department has this to say about the importance of participating in this statewide discussion:

Greetings fellow water agencies,

Reminder: the deadline for submitting comments to the CUWCC on the proposed BMP revisions is Wed Oct 1st.

What the CUWCC will do with these comments is anyone’s guess; but because these proposed revisions are so significant, and final approval will require a simple majority of water agency support, we might find it helpful to share our views with each other before the Dec 2008 vote on this massive BMP revision.

(You may recall that with the BMP 11 vote, the CUWCC sent a letter to its members, written by supporters of the revision; it did NOT let any of us know some water agencies had strong objections and we did not find out until the morning of the vote — and on the morning of the vote the person chairing the meeting deferred discussion of the proposal until AFTER the vote.)
