·             PUBLIC COMMENT

Any person may address the Board at this time upon any subject not identified on this        Agenda, but within the subject matter covered by the San Luis Rey Municipal Water          District; however, any matter that requires action will be referred to staff for a report        and action at a subsequent Board meeting.  As to matters on the Agenda, an opportunity    will be given to address the Board when the matter is considered.

3.         CONSENT CALENDAR ITEMS                      

These are items to be acted upon without discussion, unless a request is made by a member of the Board, the Staff, or the Public to discuss a particular item.  All consent calendar items are approved by a single motion.

          A.        APPROVAL OF MINUTES

          1. Regular Meeting of February 18, 2026 (the February 18, 2026 minutes were not yet reviewed at a meeting; the March meeting was cancelled)       

           2. Special Meeting of August 7, 2026.

          B.        APPROVAL OF THE DEMAND LIST

4.         ACTION CALENDAR ITEMS                          

            All action items are placed on the Agenda so that the Board may discuss and take action, if the Board is so inclined.

          A.        DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF WHETHER TO CONTINUE TO HAVE WEBSITE, AND IF SO WHETHER TO CHANGE WEB-HOSTING PROVIDERS.  We have been notified by the outside provider of the District’s website hosting, that their annual price is increasing significantly from $760 per year to $3,000 per year.  We have looked into other options and obtained other quotes. A staff report with attachments is attached.

Recommendation: The District should discuss, consider and vote for one of the following options: (a) approving a contract with one of the web-hosting companies whose contract terms are attached:  (i) Streamline now called Civic Plus (asking current pricing continue for a year), OR (ii) EvoGov, OR (iii) WordPress, OR (b) considering a resolution of financial and staffing hardship which would excuse the need for a website; a draft of the resolution containing findings is attached.

            B.        CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-05 OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SAN LUIS REY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT FINDING A STAFFING AND FINANCIAL HARDSHIP RELATED TO WEBSITE HOSTING PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE § 53087.8:  If the Board decided to proceed with considering a resolution of hardship excusing the obligation to have a website, the Board should make a motion with a second, and take a roll-call vote on whether to approve that Resolution.

            C.        CONSIDERATION OF WHETHER TO RENEW THE DISTRICT’S PHONE SERVICE FOR THE YEAR. (There is a staff report; action will require a motion, second and roll call vote)

5.         REPORTS

            The following agenda items are reports.  They are placed on the agenda to provide information to the Directors and the public.  There is no action called for in these items.

      

            A.        AB-3030 PLAN – Oral Report by President William H. Pankey

            B.        GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY ACT UPDATE - Oral Report by President William H. Pankey

            C.        ELECTION-general discussion of any upcoming County deadlines.

                  Director Pankey and Director Veysey submitted forms with no one else submitting forms for Division 1 or Division 3. Therefore, the Board of Supervisors typically decides to appoint the unopposed candidates at a regular Board of Supervisors meeting in late November/early December, ahead of the incumbents' terms expiring (December 4 or 7).

                        No one submitted forms for Division 5, currently occupied by Director Zaleschuk. Therefore, in December, the District can declare a vacancy for that district spot, and make an appointment in January if anyone applies.

6.         DIRECTORS' COMMENTS                  

Comments by Directors concerning District business that may be of interest to the Board. Directors' comments are placed on the Agenda to enable individual Board members to convey information to the Board and the Public.  There is no discussion or action taken on comments made by Board members.

7.         INFORMATION ITEMS                        

            These items are included for the Board's information only.  If action is required on any informational item, it will be placed on a subsequent agenda.

          A.        LETTER/SURVEY FROM COUNTY ON WHETHER THE COUNTY’S SALES TAX BALLOT MEASURE WILL IMPACT CITIES AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS

            The County has indicated there is an upcoming ballot measure proposed in San Diego County for a sales tax, and the County sent a letter to the Board President with copies to the rest of the Board asking if any impact is anticipated to cities and special districts. A response is voluntary.

          B.        WATER MATTERS OF INTEREST

            1. LA Times, Ian James, Trump administration spares Southwest from harshest water cuts in new Colorado River plan (July 31, 2026).
