December 20, 2012
TO: HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
FROM: JAMES A. NEJEDLY, BOARD PRESIDEN�j0
SUBJECT: BOARD COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
Staff has recommended, and I concur with their recommendation, the creation of a new
Standing Committee and the restructuring of two existing Standing Committees.
Firstly, a new Standing Committee called the Policy Development and Internal Operations
Committee (PD &IO) will be created. This Committee would review and develop District
policies for Board consideration, as well as internal operations matters that may require
Committee or Board input. There are often matters which would benefit from Committee
review and input that do not readily come under the purview of any of the current
Committees. I suggest that this new Committee be comprised of the President and President
Pro Tern each year.
Secondly, in order not to increase the total number of Committees, the Recycled Water
Committee and Real Estate Committee will be merged and renamed the Enterprise
Committee. Both Recycled Water and Real Estate are revenue - generating enterprises, and
Recycled Water issues frequently intertwine with Real Estate matters, as one of the Board's
stated goals is to maximize the use of recycled water on our buffer properties.
Thirdly, the Household Hazardous Waste Committee will be renamed to the Environmental
Services Committee. This Committee would address not only hazardous waste matters, but
also encompass source control, pollution prevention and other environmental issues.
Please let me know if you have comments or questions.
