        IV.    Public Comments

               Mike Thornton, speaking on behalf of the City of Calimesa (the City), requested that the
               Watermaster  place  an  item  on  a  future  agenda  to  consider  the  City  intervening  in  the
               Watermaster  process  on  behalf  of  overlying  water  users,  as  well  as  getting  a  better
               understanding of why the City is having difficulties in getting its development projects to
               move forward as it relates to water issues.

               After discussion, the consensus of the Committee was to meet with the City and discuss the
               role of the Watermaster and the Pass Agency and how groundwater and imported water will
               be provided to the City.
