General Manager Mr. Brown reported that the Social Security Administration announced it would provide a 0.3% cost of living adjustment based on the current consumer price index. Mr. Brown said the State Water Board was considering the next generation of conservation mandates. ACWA prepared a letter expressing its concerns and to recommend multiple compliance methods and target determining methods. The District supports this position and signed the letter that would allow local jurisdictions to select the compliance method option to meet the conservation targets. There is a difference of opinion regarding the inclusion of recycled water in conservation calculations because it is a drought-proof supply. The State Water Board's final conservation framework is expected to be released in January. The Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plant will be shut down for seven weeks to perform annual planned maintenance. Mr. Brown reviewed both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Bay Delta Plan and noted that the water supply and project operations would be impacted. A discussion regarding the work being done between ACW A and the California Association of Sanitation Agencies ensued.
