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,who is the primary contact in the Vina and Wyandotte Creek Subbasins; Dave Ceppos,who is the primary contact for West and East Butte.Tania informed the Working Group that her organizational affiliation has changed. Her new contact information is as follows: Tania Carlone, Senior Associate Mediator,Consensus Building Institute, (510)684-0504;tcarlone@cbi.org. 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). ➢ Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District(GSA): Ryan Teubert informed meeting participants that the Tehama County Groundwater Commission approved a jurisdictional consolidation basin boundary modification to separate the Vina subbasin at the county line.The decision will go before the Tehama County Flood Control and Water Conservation District's Board of Directors for final approval on May 21st. In the coming weeks,Tehama County will seek public comment and letters of support on the proposed basin boundary modification. For more information about the Tehama County GSA and upcoming meetings,go to the following link: http://www.tehamacountypublicworks.ca.gov/flood/Asa.html ➢ City of Chico(GSA): Linda Herman informed meeting participants that the City of Chico is moving forward with a proposed basin boundary modification that is anticipated to bring the city limits (and possibly the City of Chico's sphere of influence)into the Vina subbasin.The City of Chico's water treatment plant would remain in the West Butte 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. I SGMA Implementation: Vina Subbasin Governance Waking Group Meeting Summary,March 29.2018 ➢ County of Butte (GSA): Paul Gosselin informed meeting participants that the Butte County Board of Supervisors received a SGMA implementation update at the March 131h Board of Supervisors Meeting.At that meeting,the Board of Supervisors expressed support for the general direction of govemance including:a single GSA to cover the entire Vina subbasin through a Joint Powers Authority(JPA);the current 7 proposed countywide basin boundary modifications under consideration;the inclusion of an agricultural user and domestic well user stakeholder seats. Paul informed participants that Butte County is taking the lead in issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPs) in each of the four Butte County subbasins for general support for GSP technical support(i.e., basin setting,water budgeting, modeling, etc.).Also, Butte County will provide a basin boundary modification update at the April 26th public meeting. Finally, Paul encouraged participants to attend the next Groundwater Pumpers Advisory Committee(GPAC) meeting on April 17th at 8:30 AM at the Chico State Farm. For more information about Butte County SGMA implementation and meetings,go to the following link: htt s://www.buttecount .negwaterresourceconservation/SustainableGroundwaterMana ementAGt. asoxx ➢ Rock Creek Reclamation District(RD)(GSA): Paul Behr told meeting participants that Rock Creek RD supports a single GSA to govern the entire basin through the formation of a JPA because it is an efficient, cost effective approach. In general, Rock Creek RD is looking forward to the GSP planning process. Paul will continue to share all of the information and input from the working group/public meetings with his Board of Directors for their consideration. Governance Considerations and Options Vina Governance Subcommittee Report: The third Vina Governance Subcommittee(GSA Managers) meeting occurred on 3!8118.The purpose of the Subcommittee 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 the Subcommittee will be presented to the Working Group/public for input and feedback.The key outcomes from the Subcommittee meeting can be found in Attachment A. - - Guiding-Principles-for-Governance:The-Governance-Subcommittee-identified-several guiding-principles that are foundational to a governance agreement(See Attachment A: Slides 8-9). Governance Options Discussion: Consistent with stakeholder feedback to date,the GSAs'current draft governance proposal includes the following key elements: 1) support for a single GSA to govern the entire Vina subbasin under a JPA;2)the inclusion of an advisory committee in the governance structure that would be appointed by and make formal recommendations to the JPA Board of Directors; 3) inclusion of Management Areas, similarly modeled after the Colusa and Yolo GSAs;4) inclusion of board appointed stakeholder seats. See Attachment A: Slides:7& 11-19. Stakeholder Input/Feedback:Working group members articulated concern about the amount and pace of information related to the governance proposal and asked to receive meeting presentations before working group/public meetings.The facilitator agreed to send the presentation in advance of meetings.There was also concern and clarification sought regarding the appointment and removal process for the stakeholder seats.The Agricultural Groundwater Users of Butte County(AGUBC) expressed a strong preference for the agricultural stakeholder seat to be nominated by the AGUBC since the AGUBC's membership in Vina subbasin represents the majority of the white spaces in the subbasin and that they would like the opportunity to have full voting rights on the JPA board which would enable them to be a part of ................... 2 SGMA Implementation: Vina Subbasin Governance Working Group Meeting Summary,March 29,2018 implementing solutions for sustainable groundwater management.The Butte Environmental Council (BEC) articulated support and emphasized the importance of including a domestic well user seat on the JPA Board of Directors. BEC also expressed initial support for an application process to appoint the domestic seat as well as interest in serving as the nominating entity for the domestic well user seat.
