Member Warsinski provided several comments on the item, stating that he was
in agreement with the Resolution as stated today.

Member Zoba pointed out a conflict in prior overlying designations where the
Watermaster provided for a specific amount of acre feet to go to a parcel but
is now silent as to what happens in the redetermination of safe yield. Member
Zoba stated that he felt that issue has been addressed in Resolution 2017-02,
and that the Resolution is good in terms of the amount and works procedurally.

Chairman Vela spoke in support of deferring the Resolution and held a vote on
the original motion by Member Lara, seconded by Member Armstrong, to defer
the vote until the next meeting, and it passed 3-2, with Members Lara,
Armstrong, and Vela in favor and Members Warsinski and Zoba opposed.

John Ohanian requested that the Watermaster hold a special meeting the
following month to revisit Resolution 2017-02. Mike Turner requested that the
Watermaster approve the Resolution today with modified language to address
the concerns brought up by several Members.

After further discussion of a special meeting and dates proposed for said
meeting, Member Zoba moved to schedule a special meeting for August 30,
2017 at 11: 00 a.m., to review Resolution 2017-02. The motion was seconded
by Member Lara and passed 5-0.
