| (SHOULD THE COUNTY BE APART OF THE PROCESS TO REORGANIZE THE LOCAL ENTITY?)…THAT WAS A QUESTION DISCUSSED BY THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TUESDAY. IRONICALLY, AN IID DIRECTOR SAID THEY SHOULD BE. IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT DIRECTOR RUDY MALDONADO ATTENDED THE SUPERVISORS MEETING, AND TOLD THE BOARD THAT THEY WERE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE PROCESS. THE LOCAL ENTITY IS DESIGNED THRU THE QUANTIFICATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO ADDRESS MITIGATION FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY THE FALLOWING OF LAND TO PROVIDE CONSERVED WATER TO THE SAN DIEGO WATER TRANSFER AND TO MAINTAIN THE WATER LEVELS OF THE SALTON SEA. MALDONADO SAID THIS AFFECTED THE COUNTY AND THEIR INPUT WAS NEEDED. HE SAID IT IS ALL PART OF IMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES. MALDONADO SAID BOTH BOARDS ARE ELECTED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY, AND THEY SHOULD WORK TOGETHER. SUPERVISORS JOE MARUCA HAD QUESTIONED THE COUNTIES PARTICIPATION. HE SAID THE LOCAL ENTITY WAS AN IID ISSUE, AND THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY BELONGED TO THE IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT. MARUCA SAID HE DID NOT SEE THE COUNTY MEDDLING IN THIS IID ISSUE. MALDONADO ENCOURAGED EVERY BOARD MEMBER TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE IID GENERAL MANAGER CHARLES HOSKINS AND OFFER THEIR INPUT. HOSKINGS IS SCHEDULED TO PRESENT HIS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF THE LOCAL ENTITY AT THE SEPTEMBER 12TH IID BOARD MEETING. MALDONADO SAID HE EXPECTS A SPECIAL MEETING TO BE SCHEDULED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT TO DISCUSS AND ACT ON THE REORGANIZATION. |
