Committee backs nominating district representative to ACWA Region 3
Summary
The committee discussed Resolution 25‑13 to nominate a district representative to the ACWA Region 3 board, emphasizing Region 3's focus on headwaters, a two‑year term and modest time commitments; several members expressed support and staff said the nomination will proceed through the normal review process.
The committee considered Resolution 25‑13 to nominate the district's candidate to the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Region 3 board. A staff member described Region 3 as focused on headwaters and water infrastructure issues, said the position is a two‑year term and outlined the nominating committee and review process.
The staff member characterized Region 3 as “one of the few boards that's primarily made up of general manager[s]” and said it gives the district a platform to raise headwaters issues statewide. He noted the role requires attending ACWA conferences twice a year and a few regional meetings. "It's not a huge time commitment," the staff member said.
Committee members voiced support for the nominee and signaled the committee's intent to forward a recommendation. The staff member noted the ACWA executive director vacancy and organizational transition at ACWA, saying the association is at a period of change and that it will be important for the district to weigh whether ACWA will take strong policy positions in the coming years. Several members said the district's representation at the regional level is valuable for advancing local concerns.
Next steps: staff will forward the committee recommendation through the prescribed nominating and consent channels for final approval.
