Move to approve Director Remember Le Beau as the chair of the agency. | 00:01:57 | |

And then the subsequent year, it goes to the PHW, a member of the PHWA. | 00:02:20 | |
One of the other AG. | 00:02:27 | |

Appointment to the Association of Water Agencies of Ventura County Board of Directors. | 00:05:37 | |
Will staff please present the report? Yes. | 00:05:43 | |
Similar to the reorganization item, each year or two we review our appointments to the Association of Water Agencies of Ventura | 00:05:48 | |
County. | 00:05:53 | |
Which is a 21 member board made-up of directors from various water agencies and cities throughout the. | 00:05:59 | |
So recently. | 00:06:08 | |
Heard back from AWA that it was time for us to make our appointments and so we. | 00:06:12 | |
Have agenda is the item to allow the board to make the appointments. | 00:06:17 | |
Current appointees for our agency is where Misty Perez is director and Nathan Jacobson as the alternate. | 00:06:20 | |
And so we have the opportunity now to. | 00:06:30 | |
Appoint our new member and alternate on to the AWA. | 00:06:33 | |
The Awa's next meeting is March 7th, 2024 and installation is scheduled for the new members on March 21st. | 00:06:38 | |
They're holding their water wise meeting. | 00:06:48 | |
So at this point, oh, and then just one last point there, the regular meetings of the AWA, our first Thursdays of every other | 00:06:51 | |
month starting in January. So January, March, May. | 00:06:56 | |
1st Thursday at 3:00 PM and they do have a zoom option available in case anybody's wondering about being able to attend those | 00:07:03 | |
meetings. So. | 00:07:07 | |
So at this time, we recommend. | 00:07:13 | |
Board Make an appointment for a director and an alternate of the AWA. | 00:07:16 | |
Yeah. | 00:07:27 | |
Can you is the vice is. | 00:07:29 | |
Chair and vice chair. | 00:07:32 | |
The regular stand. | 00:07:35 | |
Or can it be? | 00:07:37 | |
I guess I'm asking because I think I'm on committee #15 right now. | 00:07:42 | |
So does it have to? Does it have to be a current PHWA member or could it be? | 00:07:47 | |
No, no. Does it have to be the chair? I mean, you said the last names were chair and vice chair, right? No, sorry. No. And no, it | 00:07:51 | |
does not have to be the chair and vice chair. | 00:07:55 | |
Can I ask a question before I? | 00:08:01 | |
Member Jacobson. | 00:08:04 | |
Would you be willing to serve in that role? Do you want? | 00:08:06 | |
As you were the alternate. | 00:08:10 | |
I actually tried to get out last time and didn't take. | 00:08:13 | |
So I would like to. | 00:08:18 | |
OK and answers that. | 00:08:21 | |
Does anybody have any other questions for staff? Well, I'm going to whittle it down to even smaller. I already serve on the AWA as | 00:08:24 | |
a agricultural appointee, so I'm an alternate there. I can't serve in two separate official roles, but it's really not just so you | 00:08:29 | |
all know. | 00:08:34 | |
It is not a big commitment, not. | 00:08:39 | |
Requirement. They're not a body that does. | 00:08:42 | |
Any legisl. | 00:08:45 | |
They don't have any standing that way. They're more of an educational. | 00:08:48 | |
Program. | 00:08:52 | |
They're there to bring issues forward. | 00:08:54 | |
The water community in Ventura County to to bring information out, so it's not an overwhelming obligation by any means and they do | 00:08:57 | |
have a zoom option that you can zoom into the meetings from. | 00:09:03 | |
So for what it's worth, for those of you that are left in the mix. | 00:09:09 | |
Are there any public comments regarding this item? | 00:09:17 | |
No public comments. | 00:09:21 | |
Noted. | 00:09:29 | |
Is there anybody interested in serving? | 00:09:34 | |
Yeah, I'd be in. I'd be interested. It's at 3:00 PM, right? So I'm not, I'm not sure why they have breakfast burritos at 3:00. | 00:09:37 | |
They do water wise breakfast programs that they usually have them out if you want. Those are not part of the board meeting | 00:09:44 | |
schedule but. | 00:09:48 | |
Yeah, so I would. | 00:09:54 | |
Nominate Member Martinez to serve as the regular member. | 00:09:58 | |
And is there anybody willing to do the alternate or do you want a roll call on that first? | 00:10:06 | |
Might as well. Yeah, I can go ahead and do that, but we'll just say all in favor. | 00:10:11 | |
All opposed. | 00:10:17 | |
Hearing none motion passes unanimously. | 00:10:18 | |
Do we have a nomination or is anybody interested in serving as the alternate? | 00:10:21 | |
I think I can do it. I was. | 00:10:26 | |
I was originally thinking it was 830 Thursday morning. | 00:10:29 | |
So if it's 3:00 in the afternoon. | 00:10:33 | |
And Director Martinez Cantitan I can make myself available. | 00:10:36 | |
Unless somebody else wants it. Second, I will nominate director Excuse me, member Hernandez. | 00:10:42 | |
Second, Yeah. | 00:10:50 | |
All in favor? Aye. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously. | 00:10:52 | |
Thank you both. | 00:10:59 | |
Does anyone have any reports, comments, or requests for future agenda items? | 00:11:11 | |
I think I'm skipping around here. | 00:11:18 | |
I think you're right. | 00:11:21 | |
I just like to. I know it's been quite a while and Staffs very busy with much more meaningful things. | 00:11:23 | |
About about mid year last year we had asked to bring back and then we've got some new seated members to the board. | 00:11:30 | |
A look at board members stipend payments. I'm not doing this to make make money, but. | 00:11:38 | |
At 50. | 00:11:43 | |
A meeting. It's hard to incentivize other board members to sit in this role, and hasn't changed. I'll. | 00:11:45 | |
In 30 years. | 00:11:50 | |
Or since the agency's inception. | 00:11:52 | |
And we've we've heard that one of the questions this will likely come back for a for a future agenda item in that we would have to | 00:11:56 | |
amend the joint powers agreement. | 00:12:00 | |
Because that's where this is set. And so if we're going to go through that undertaking, we might as well review the whole | 00:12:03 | |
agreement and see if there's anything else we might want to change while we're at it. | 00:12:07 | |
Well, I did not. I wasn't aware it was that level of effort for you all. Generally it's done via resolution with the body. So I | 00:12:11 | |
would say at this point we'll leave it alone unless it's something the agents, at least from my perspective. | 00:12:18 | |
If it's that big of an undertaking that we got to go through all that, it's not that important. | 00:12:25 | |
So I'll resend my request. | 00:12:33 | |
We'll take a look at it and if it if there is a simpler route then we'll come back. If not then we'll consider it rescinded. So | 00:12:37 | |
thank you. | 00:12:41 | |
Any other reports, comments, or requests for future agenda items? | 00:12:46 | |
Hearing none, that concludes our business items today. | 00:12:52 | |
The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 18th, 2024 at 4:00 PM. | 00:12:57 | |
I'd like to adjourn the meeting. The time is now for 12. | 00:13:02 | |
Got to get useless. | 00:13:08 |
