Water Agency Erosion Control
Projects with Supervisor Lowe.
PAST MEETINGS
Manager Cofer reported on the above
6/28/85 meeting. He stated Supervisor
Lowe had invited a number of people from
the basin to meet and form a Task Force.
She informed the group the meeting was
the start of a change in the position of
use of tax transfer funds. She wanted to
explore the interest of the group and
1) identify erosion and drainage projects
within the basin; 2) establish long range
planning; and 3) obtain a commitment from
Lahontan not to change permi't conditions.
Supervisor Lowe further stated it might be
possible to separate the west slope pro-
jects from basin projects and Supervisor
Tom Stewart stated concerns for losing
area monies to the west slope if a
"priority project" approach was used.
Supervisor Stewart felt it might be possible
to use the tax transfer funds as a revenue
source for obtaining revenue bonds. Manager
Cafer said he stated the District's concerns
re the money staying in the area and its use
for water projects only. Further he told the
group there might be legal issues re use of
the funds. Supervisor Lowe stated if there
was any litigation re legal issues the County
(El Dorado) might withdraw the tax and that
these would be the ground rules. The next
meeting is scheduled for 8/16 to receive
Agencies priority projects. County Council
will be circulating a joint planning agree-
ment to each of the agencies. After ques-
tioning by Director Olson, Manager Cofer re-
quested a Board Policy position to present
at the 8/16 mtg. Director Jones noted he
had also stressed the legal questions re tax
transfer funds to Supervisor Lowe. Attorney
Weidman stated we needed to wait for a legal
opinion from County Council as to what can be
spent on erosion - (1) Is it going to be
legal to spend monies on erosion any place
in the basin within our District or (2) are
you only going to have to be limited to
spending for erosion control projects to
protect the water supply?
