The Board of Directors of the San Lorenzo Valley Water District has scheduled two special public meetings on consecutive days next week, on May 24 and May 25.
As of Wedesday, May 17, the board had given little indication what the agendas of those meetings might be.
The Wednesday, May 24 meeting will be at 6 p.m. at the Highlands Park Senior Center in Ben Lomond on the single topic, “Rate study.”
At the last rate-study meeting, also at Highlands Park, directors said the next meeting about water rates would likely for the first time reveal proposed water rate options.
The second special meeting will be at 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 25 in the district’s operations building in Boulder Creek. Pending issues postponed from the board’s April 20 meeting include the Lompico surcharge, a pay increase for district manager Brian Lee, legal bills, and consideration of a change in law firms.
The board held another special meeting on May 18, to hold a required public hearing on plans to mitigate the impact on the Mt. Hermon June Beetle of a project to build a new storage tank off Graham Hill Road.
The plan will be sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for final review before the construction project can begin.
The proposed project consists of replacing the existing 100,000 gallon redwood storage tank with one 527,000 gallon welded steel storage tank.
