ISSUE
In accordance with Board Policy No. B P 008 - Travel Expense Reimbursement Policy, Board approval
is required in advance for proposed Board Member conference attendance.
BACKGROUND
Conference attendance for calendar year 2019 was approved by the Board at the December 6, 2018
meeting. Since that time, Board Member McGill has expressed interest in attending the 34th Annual
WateReuse Symposium from September 8-11, 2019 in San Diego. The program includes concurrent
sessions on water recycling policy, technology, operations, and research. Comprehensive sessions will
explore the broader policy and planning issues that will shape the future of water recycling nationally,
including communication strategies for elected officials, collaboration among non-traditional partners, and
state regulatory successes and challenges.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board may deny the request for attendance at the conference.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The $700 registration cost to attend the conference, plus airfare and accommodations but the Conference
Budget is adequate enough to absorb this unexpected cost.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This matter was not reviewed by a Board Committee.
