The Hi-Desert Water District faced a barrage of criticism last night before finally getting down to business. Reporter Derwood Andrews has the details…
The Public Comments came thick, fast and negatively towards most of the Board and leading members of staff to begin last nights meeting, mainly concerns of a linkage between the Water District and Town Council, on an “educational/advocacy” proposal and the one percent sales tax issue. This was followed by a presentation on the rate study for 2012 and a Proposition 218 update. The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote for Judy Corl-Lorono for the ACWA HBA Board of Directors; an emergency request added to the agenda to attend a workshop at the end of January to discuss water resources by Countywide Vision; and two Capitol Replacement projects were approved.
