4. Any member or members of the Watermaster shall maintain the first right of refusal
to purchase the supplemental water placed in storage by the San Gorgonio Pass
Water Agency. All Watermaster members shall be notified in writing a minimum
of 60 calendar days prior to any sale, transfer, distribution, or exchange of any
supplemental water in the storage account of the San Gorgonio Pass Water
Agency. The Watermaster maintains an opportunity to individually or collectively
purchase the water in the storage account of the San Gorgonio Pass Water
Agency under the same terms and conditions offered to a member of the
Watermaster, non-member of the Watermaster, or any other entity.
5. Any future condition, issue, or operational constraint that conflicts with the ability
of any Watermaster member to administer and fulfill their obligation(s) pursuant to
the Stipulated Judgment shall be immediate cause for rescinding the storage
agreement to the San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency.
The language was shared with Jeff Davis, General Manager of the San Gorgonio Pass
Water Agency and presented again for review and discussion at the December 7, 2016
Watermaster meeting.
In preparation for this meeting, a draft resolution has been prepared with a proposed
modification to condition number five above.
The San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency has requested additional time to review the
conditions outlined above and modified in the attached resolution.
If there are no further issues or suggestions related to this language, then the final
Groundwater Storage Resolution should be scheduled for consideration at a special
meeting on the first Wednesday in March.
