Initiative seeking public ownership proposed for June 2014 ballot

Excerpt Highlights:
A proposed ballot measure seeks to require that the Monterey Peninsula water delivery system be publicly owned and that a plan for making the switch from a private company be studied within three months of passage.
The initiative, aimed at buying out California American Water, would have the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District require public ownership of any water system in its territory.
If approved by voters, the initiative would require the water management district's general manager to complete a feasibility analysis and acquisition plan, through negotiation or eminent domain, for district board consideration within 90 days.
Public Water Now is planning a "massive" signature-gathering drive aimed at collecting 710 valid signatures. The group will hold a "kickoff" event Tuesday at Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula in Carmel, Cohen said. The event will include a series of signature-gathering "seminars" starting at 6:30 p.m.
