FROM: Christine Davi, Monterey City Attorney SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Join Monterey County as a New Member of the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority; Determine the Cost for Monterey County to Join; and Authorize the President to Execute a New Member Agreement with Monterey County RECOMMENDATION: That the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (“Water Authority”) adopt a resolution to join Monterey County as a new member of the Water Authority; determine the cost for Monterey County to join, and authorize the President execute a New Member Agreement with Monterey County. POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Section 5.2 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement authorizes the Water Authority to add public agency members such as Monterey County. Adding Monterey County as a member of the Water Authority would provide representation for ratepayers living in the unincorporated areas of Pebble Beach, Carmel, Carmel Valley, and Monterey. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: If admitted as a new member to the Water Authority, Section 5.2 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement requires that Monterey County pay a pro rata share of all previously incurred costs that the Board of Directors determines have resulted in benefits to the public agency, and are appropriate for assessment on the public agency. Costs previously incurred by the Water Authority from inception to June 30, 2012 total $16,357.82. These costs were incurred primarily for legal fees for forming the Water Authority ($15,000) and for insurance ( $863.70) . Monterey County’s pro rata share of these costs would be $5,561.66. The Water Authority has the discretion to modify or waive Monterey County’s pro rata share if it determines that the previous costs incurred did not result in benefits to Monterey County or are not appropriate for assessment on Monterey County. The Fiscal Year 2012-2013 budget for the Water Authority is $245,000. The pro rata share of this cost for Monterey County for this fiscal year would be $83,300 based on a 34% consumption rate in the unincorporated areas of the County. Monterey County Board of Supervisors has approved this contribution to the Water Authority. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, №06/12 MPRWA Meeting, 9/27/2012 , Item No. 1., Item Page 1, Packet Page 1 this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED: The Water Authority could choose not join Monterey County as a new member. DISCUSSION: In a letter dated August 1, 2012, the Water Authority requested that Monterey County join as a member to represent ratepayers who do not reside within the existing Water Authority member cities’ limits. (Attachment 1). Approximately 34% of Cal Am’s customers’ water usage on the Monterey Peninsula is in the County unincorporated area and not in the cities. On September 11, 2012, Monterey County voted unanimously to become a member of the Water Authority, authorized the Chair of the Board of supervisors to sign a New Member agreement under Section 5.2 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement, appointed Supervisor Potter as the County’s representative on the Water Authority Board, and approved payment of $83,300, its share of Water Authority budget for Fiscal Year 2012-1013. (Attachment 2). In order to approve Monterey County to join as a new member of the Water Authority, a supermajority vote of at least 70% of the votes held among all Directors is required (5 votes) pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement. It is recommended that the Water Authority adopt the attached resolution and add Monterey County as a new member, determine the amount of the cost to join the Water Authority, if any, and authorize the President to sign a New Member Agreement with the County.

  • Pebble Beach, California Pebble Beach Is an Unincorporated Community on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Pebble Beach, California Pebble Beach is an unincorporated community on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California. It lies at sea level.[1] In addition to being a small coastal residential community of mostly single-family homes, Pebble Beach is a resort destination and home to the famous golf courses of Cypress Point Club, Monterey Peninsula Country Club, and Pebble Beach Golf Links. The Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Inn at Spanish Bay, The Lodge at Pebble Beach and four of the eight golf courses inside the Pebble Beach community are among the local assets owned by the Pebble Beach Company. Residents pay road fees for maintenance as well as Monterey County property taxes. Application of the property tax revenues is the realm of the Pebble Beach Community Services District, a public agency that is independent of local private facilities, e.g., golf courses, with an elected Board of Directors that manages essential functions including fire protection and emergency medical services, supplemental law enforcement, wastewater collection and treatment, recycled water distribution, and garbage collection, disposal and recycling. The community's post office is named Pebble Beach, as is its identity; whereas, the U.S. Census Bureau aggregates census returns from Pebble Beach as part of the larger census-designated place of Del Monte Forest. However, residents and visitors associate and identify with the name Pebble Beach; boundaries of the Del Monte Forest extend outside of the Pebble Beach community boundaries encompassing a larger forest area that comprises the wooded parts Monterey Peninsula.

In 2012, the Growers Shipper Association Foundation (GSAF) launched a campaign to raise $3,000 per salad bar with the goal of funding a salad bar for every school in the county. More than $75,000 has been raised to fund salad bars in Chualar, Gonzales, Greenfield, Monterey, and Salinas.

    A Companion To Capitola By Frank Perry Capitola Historical Museum 2018 A Companion To Capitola Published by the Capitola Historical Museum 410 Capitola Avenue Capitola, CA. 95010 Capitola Museum Board of Trustees, Spring, 2020 Niels Kisling, president; David Peyton, vice president; Pamela Greeninger, secretary; Brian Legakis, treasurer; Joshua Henshaw, youth representative; Emmy Mitchell-Lynn; Dean Walker; Gordon van Zuiden Cover: A portion of the mural “Our Capitola” by Jon Ton and Maia Negre Funded by the Capitola Art and Cultural Commission 2015 Fifth printing with minor revisions, 2020 Copyright 2018 Board of Trustees Capitola Historical Museum !2 A Companion To Capitola Introduction At the Capitola Historical Museum, we are asked hundreds of questions each year about Capitola. Many visitors want to know certain dates, such as when Capitola was incorporated or when the railroad trestle was built. Others are curious about people, places, or historic buildings. This publication is an attempt to answer many of those questions in the form of a quick reference guide. It includes people, places, events, agricultural products, natural features, public art, schools, parks, churches, books about Capitola, movies made in Capitola, and assorted other topics. Each entry includes a brief description and significant dates. Many entries also include a reference to the source of the information and/or further reading. Some entries are based on information from multiple sources, of which only one or two are listed. Emphasis is on the historical development of Capitola. This list does not include living people, and it does not include businesses that started after 1980. If a word in a description has its own entry, it is often in bold.
