Celeste Whitlow from the Nipomo Community Services District, joins the Water Cooler to share her concerns with the narrow window of time allowed for the review and approval of the proposed BMP revisions, and the potential impact on her agency:

Thirty days is not sufficient to get this through first committee and then presented and approved by our Board of Directors.

I have a very hands-on Board, and they will not be happy if this is forced to a vote before sufficient time to review and action. If the proposed revisions cannot be made available for review with time sufficient to get them through the approval process, then the vote should be postponed to January.

My general manager is very concerned about the approach being taken for review of these BMPs, which we will have to perform. I campaigned mightily to get our District to join the CUWCC.  I do hope I’m not negatively impacted here at my job by the BMP revision review timeline.

 

Celeste Whitlow,
