             VIII.     Discussion Items

                       A.     Reorganization  of  the  Beaumont  Basin  Watermaster  Committee  -
                              Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer

                                     reaffirm  the  existing  officers  or  conduct  nominations  for  the
                                     appointment of new officers of the Beaumont Basin Watermaster.


                              The Committee’s current officers:
                              Chair – Art Vela
                              Vice-Chair – George Jorritsma

                              Treasurer – Joe Zoba

                              It was moved by Member Zoba and seconded by Member Warsinski to
                              re-affirm the current Watermaster Committee officers.

                               AYES:                  Jaggers, Jorritsma, Vela, Warsinski, Zoba
                               NOES:                  None.
                               ABSTAIN:               None.
                               ABSENT:                None.
                               STATUS:                Motion Approved



                       B.     Status  Report  on  Water  Level  Monitoring  throughout  the  Beaumont
                              Basin through January 22, 2019
                                     Recommendation:  No recommendation.

                              Mr. Blandon gave a report. He noted that at the Noble Creek spreading
                              grounds there has been a significant (over 90 feet in the shallow aquifer,
                              and 46 feet in the deeper aquifer) increase in water levels in the last 18
                              months. He reminded the Committee that the probe at Banning Well 8
                              had been lost, but the city has recently pulled the pump and a new probe
                              will be installed.
                              There  is  a  new  monitoring  well  site  at  BCVWD  Well  29.  Mr.  Blandon
                              reported that he has visited other potential monitoring well sites, but
                              has  found  that  the  representatives  are  comfortable  with  reading  the
                              water levels, but not with signing the required contract. He suggested
                              considering no contract, or focusing only on pumping wells.
                              He reported on another potential monitoring site at Sharondale Well 1
                              owned by Clearwater Operations.
