At last night’s special meeting of the Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency Board, Directors interviewed three candidates and appointed Dennis Staley, a retired educator and 18-year resident of Landers, to fill the open board seat. Also last night, the Board gave its approval to the Ames/Reche Groundwater Storage and Recovery Agreement, which is the product of many years of negotiations between the Agency and Hi-Desert Water District, County Special Districts and the Mojave Water Agency. The agreement aims to provide for more equitable and better managed control of groundwater resources using mechanisms that are better defined than the existing Agreement, and it provides for a shared recharge facility. The County is expected to give their approval to the Agreement next month. And finally, directors voted to nominate Director Judy Corl-Lorono to the Association of California Water Agencies Health Benefits Authority.
