General Manager Matthew McElhenie introduced the Desalination Executable Solution and Logistics (DESAL) Plan at the Cambria Community Services District Board meeting on June 11, outlining proposed logistics and implementation considerations for a desalination approach to local water supply.
The presentation summarized potential operational steps and logistical requirements; the board discussed the plan and asked staff clarifying questions about next steps and community engagement. Public commenter Ted Siegler spoke during the item. The minutes record a recess at 11:26 a.m.; the meeting reconvened at 11:32 a.m. No formal motion or vote on the DESAL Plan is recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: The district is evaluating long-term water supply options and desalination, if pursued, would represent a major infrastructure and operational commitment with multi-year planning and capital needs. The board’s discussion signals continued evaluation rather than approval.
What’s next: The minutes do not record a follow-up motion or timeline; the DESAL Plan remains under board review pending future staff recommendations or specific action requests to be placed on a later agenda.
