Tania reiterated that facilitation support is provided through the Department of Water Resources' (DWR) Facilitation Support Services(FSS) Program. Butte County applied for FSS services on behalf of the four subbasins(Vina, West Butte, East Butte, and Wyandotte Creek). Tania explained that the facilitators working in Butte County include:Tania Carlone, Senior Facilitator, who is the primary contact in the Vina and Wyandotte Creek Subbasins; Dave Ceppos,Associate Director, who is the primary contact for West and East Butte; and, Malka Kopell, Senior Facilitator, who will be working with Dave and Tania to coordinate countywide elements of CCP's work and to provide expertise on stakeholder communications and engagement. SGMA updates and Announcements DWR and Vina subbasin GSAs provided statewide and local SGMA implementation updates respectively. DWR: Debbie Spangler with DWR's Northern Region Office(NRO) presented an updated timeline of SGMA implementation milestones (see Attachment A). Rock Creek Reclamation District(GSA): Paul Behr told meeting participants that Tania made a presentation to the Rock Creek Reclamation District(RD) Board of Directors on 1123 to provide them with an overview of SGMA implementation, stakeholder assessment findings and to introduce preliminary governance concepts that will be further discussed at today's meeting. ➢ City of Chico (GSA): Erik Gustafson informed meeting participants that the City of Chico overlies both the Vina and West Butte subbasins.The City has approached DWR to explore a possible basin boundary modification intended to bring the entire city limits into the Vina Subbasin. The City is principally considering a basin boundary modification due to limited staffing and capacity to engage in two Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) planning and implementation processes. The City is currently exploring the options and analyzing potential implications of a basin boundary modification. County of Butte(GSA): Paul Gosselin updated meeting participants about Butte County SGMA implementation activities. He informed participants about recent SGMA meetings—one focused on ............ 1 SGMR Implementation: Vina Subbasin Governance Working Group Meeting Summary,January 25,2018 opportunities for groundwater recharge that took place on 1116 and the ongoing meetings of the Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee(GPAC), The next GPAC meeting will take place on 3119 at 8:30 AM at the Chico State Farm. For more information about Butte County SGMA implementation and meetings, go to the following fink: https:/lwww.buttecountV.negwaterresourceconservation/SustainableGroundwaterManagementAct. asp Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District(GSA): Ryan Teubert informed meeting participants that the Tehama County Groundwater Commission's ad hoc committee charged with considering basin boundary modifications met on 1124. The Groundwater Commission will consider potential basin boundary modifications, including in the Vina Subbasin (to the county line) at the next meeting in February. For more information about the Tehama County GSA and upcoming meetings, go to the following link: http://www,tehamacountypublicworks.ca.gov/floodlgsa.html Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP)Work Plan Presentation Paul Gosselin gave an overview of the timeline for SGMA implementation through 2022 and described the work plan for GSP development(See Attachment B).After reviewing each component of the work plan, Paul summarized that GSP development represents a significant work effort that builds upon a foundation of existing studies and data and creates opportunities to enhance local understanding of groundwater conditions and analytical tools. Ultimately,the process will result in an enforceable plan to sustainably manage groundwater and avoid locally defined undesirable results. Governance Considerations and Options Tania informed meeting participants that the first meeting of the Vina Governance Subcommittee(GSA Managers)was held on 1111118. She reviewed the purpose of the Subcommittee which is to develop governance proposals which all GSA parties consider workable for GSP development and implementation in the Vina Subbasin, The draft proposals developed by Subcommittee will be presented to the Working Group/public for input and feedback. Tania then gave an overview of the key outcomes from the Subcommittee's preliminary discussion on governance options for the Vina subbasin. The Subcommittee determined that all governance options are on the table for consideration and discussion, including: • A multi-agency GSA established by an MOU or JPA • Retention of individual GSA status with a coordinating MOU • Inclusion of different options to involve stakeholders (beneficial users as defined by SGMA) • Inclusion of guiding principles (using the Colusa MOA as a starting point) • Placeholder language in governance for inclusion of possible future eligible local agencies(through LAFCO process). 2 SGMR Implementation: Vina Subbasin Governance Working Group Meeting Summary,January 25,2018 Tania then described possible governance options for the purposes of discussion (See Attachment A for diagrams illustrating a range of governance options). Tania concluded by reminding meeting participants that the Subcommittee will review these governance options at their next meeting and bring further developed options to the February Working Group meeting for discussion. Next Steps ➢ The facilitation team is developing a draft stakeholder communications and engagement plan for the Vina subbasin. The Vina Subbasin Governance Working Group and the GSA Managers' Governance Subcommittee will review and discuss the draft plan in February, For a copy of DWR's Guidance Document, go to the following link: http://www.water.ca.gov/groundwater/sgm/pdfs/GD C&E Final 2017-06-29.pdf ➢ Vina Governance Working Group Meetings occur the last Thursday of every month through June 2018. Working Group meetings are open to the public. The next meeting will occur on 2122 from 3-5 at the Chico Masonic Center. ➢ The GSA Managers Meetings(Governance Subcommittee) will meet prior to the Working Group meetings.These meetings are not public meetings. ➢ A Vina subbasin evening public meeting will occur in spring 2018 (Date TBD). ➢ Later in the process, it may be helpful to form a legal Review Subcommittee to engage attorneys from the various GSAs to collaboratively craft the legal language for the agreement(s). ➢ Other self-organizing groups, such as the Agricultural Groundwater Users of Butte County and others, do not hesitate to contact the facilitation team with any questions and to discuss governance options and possible proposals to agendize at future Vina Subbasin Governance Working Group meetings.
