David Goldsmith. Deputy Director of Public Services re: Discussion of
Division of Duties: Administrative Manager for Community Services Department: This
discussion was postponed until the Budget Hearing for the Commissioners Office and the
Auditor's Office on Tuesday.
PUBLIC SERVICES BRIEFING: Public Services Director Gary Rowe asked
how the Board would like to proceed with the proposed amendments to the Charter for the Water
Resources Council? Commissioner Wojt stated that he discussed the draft Charter with Chief
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Paul McIlrath because he feels that the WRC should be encour-
aged. Paul McIlrath is going to make changes as suggested by Commissioner W ojt and bring the
draft back to the Board. Commissioner Hinton stated that he will talk with Paul McIlrath
regarding his concerns.
A couple of weeks ago the Water Utility Coordinating Committee (WUCC) submitted a request
to the Board for funding so that they could provide services to the County beyond their current
scope and become a Committee that meets on a regular basis instead of just every five years.
Gary Rowe reported that his recommendation is to have this Committee place their suggested
scope of work in the Coordinated Water Service Plan they are charged with developing. The
budget impact can be dealt with through the budget hearings process.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the draft BMP's developed by staff for salt water
intrusion. A report will be coming to the Board in the near future.
