1. Forebay lacked a quorum and took no action. Five of ten Forebay members answered roll call: Frahm, Lohr, McHaney, Panziera and Smith. Steve McIntyre spoke by phone later, but Forebay was not formally reconvened. The Upper Valley Committee had a quorum and conducted business; Forebay members’ remarks were handled as public comments. Upper Valley approved minutes its chair described as July minutes, with no opposition heard. Forebay did not vote on its August 3 minutes.
2. Portfolio 3A will receive further work, but costs remain a concern. The Board directed work to proceed on a portfolio involving brackish-water desalination and injection, additional east-side infrastructure, and demand management. Advisory Committee and Board members raised substantial cost concerns while leaving alternatives open for consideration. Participants expected Monterey One Water’s general manager to discuss a project or refinements at an upcoming Advisory Committee meeting. They also discussed a separate deep-water desalination concept, identifying no operating ocean installation using that technology and noting one unit operating in a lake.
