Description: At its January 10, 2013 meeting, the MPRWA Board approved a recommended increase to its adopted FY 2012-13 Budget totaling $172,200 to more adequately fund its operations. This includes: the hiring of an Executive Director; an expected increase in legal services; financial advisory services; Errors and Omission Insurance premiums; and project evaluation study revisions.

Based on the Member City Expense Allocation Based on Water Usage formula used by the Authority, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is requested to pay a 9.30% share, or $16,015.

Overall Cost:
City Funds: $16,015 from Account 01-60033 (Dues/Memberships) to be offset by $16,015 from Revenue Account 01-37801 (Motor Vehicle In-Lieu)
Grant Funds: N/ A

Important Considerations: This recommendation, in part, supports the agreement and mission of the MPRWA, to ensure the timely development, financing, construction, operation, repair and maintenance of one or more water supply projects to replace pending lost water supplies and to ensure that the governance of such projects includes representation that is directly accountable to the residents of the member cities served by such projects and to undertake any additional related or ancillary actions.

The requested allocations from the five other member cities are: Monterey ($80,074); Seaside ($37,884); Pacific Grove ($32,374); Del Rey Oaks ($3,616) and Sand City ($2,239).
