Director Memorandum 19-065
Date: June 18, 2019
Prepared By: Jennifer Ares, Water Resource Manager
Subject: Consideration of the Revisions to the 2019 San Timoteo Creek Habitat Monitoring
Program
Recommendation: That the Board authorizes the General Manager to allocate $27,860 of the
previously approved contract with Dudek to revise the Habitat Monitoring
Program.
The Habitat Monitoring Program for San Timoteo Creek defines the adaptive management plan
components for San Timoteo Creek. The monitoring plan consists of vegetation analysis, aerial
photo analysis, invasive species tracking and groundwater monitoring.
In order to validate the reduction in flow, an annual habitat monitoring program has been in place
and reports are prepared each year and submitted to the resource agencies. The District is
currently in its sixth year of reporting the habitat monitoring program activities. This year, District
staff has addressed the components of the program with the resource agencies to determine
necessary modifications from results gained through the annual monitoring program. As a result,
District staff has requested Dudek revise the current Habitat Monitoring Program parameters to
take into consideration the data results established over the past six years.
