in the basin resulting from the spreading of additional water sources.

VIII. Comments from the Watermaster Committee Members
Member Zoba noted that in looking at the agenda, three agencies have only one individual
assigned to the Watermaster, and expressed his viewpoint regarding the adjudication as a
peace treaty among all of the Member agencies, ensuring they all know how the Basin is
going to be managed. He requested that Legal Counsel forward a letter to the general
manager or city manager of each agency as an encouragement to assign an individual from
the agency so that each agency would have an alternate and regular Member. There was
a consensus among the other Members for Legal Counsel to move forward with the
suggestion.
