Supervisor Dave Potter named Monterey County representative for desal panel
Salinas named alternate
By JIM JOHNSON Herald Staff Writer, 02/13/2013
Excerpts Highlights:
"Supervisor Dave Potter was chosen Tuesday to represent the county's interests on a proposed public governance committee that would be charged with oversight of California American Water's proposed desalination plant."
"Originally proposed and ultimately approved on Jan. 31 by the Peninsula mayors' water authority, the three-person committee would include members representing the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and the Peninsula Water Authority."
"The supervisors agreed Tuesday to support in principle a position statement proposed by the mayors' authority regarding Cal Am's project, including a set of conditions such as requiring a public contribution of funds designed to lower project costs and fully developed alternative source water intake plans. But the supervisors stopped short of adopting the conditions to avoid breaching the terms of the county's settlement agreement with Cal Am involving the regional project, McKee said."
