SUBJECT: August 26, 2004 Meeting of the Nacimiento Project Commission
The first meeting of the Nacimiento Project Commission was held on August 26, 2004 at
Templeton Community Services District. Following introductions, the Commission turned to
discussion of organization issues, interim officer appointments, meeting schedule and the
preparation of by-laws for the Commission. Meetings will be regularly scheduled for the 41h
Thursday of each month at 4:OOpm. No meeting will be held in September.
A brief staff presentation covering the proposed project timeline and critical path items was also
provided. Although no specific details were provided at this meeting, a discussion was provided
relative to upcoming Commission decisions to keep the project moving forward, hiring a project
manager, structuring the proposals for design, critical path items, and to what degree and on
what items the Commission would be providing recommendations. There was an excellent
feeling of cooperation as we worked closely together to get the project moving.
At the next meeting, October 28, 2004, the Commission will be considering draft by-laws being
prepared by staff. One issue to be resolved in the near future is that of voting alternates. As the
Commission struggled with trying to set regular meeting times, it became apparent that voting
alternates would be highly desirable. Staff could potentially serve in this role, however legal
counsel needs to weigh in on whether having staff as voting alternates would inhibit their ability
to work together on technical matters due to possible Brown Act restrictions. At this time I
anticipate requesting staff to bring forward a recommendation to the Council regarding alternate
representation for the Nacimiento Commission following the November elections.
If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact either myself or John
Moss, Utilities Director.
