Tuolumne County Water Agency Water Policy Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes

The committee discussed the development of a work program to address significant water issues in the county. Key topics included the potential expansion of committee membership and voting rights to include representatives from agricultural, recreational, construction, business, and Native American interests. The committee identified eight priority issues for its work program, such as monitoring Delta-related plans, diversifying water efforts, securing existing water supplies, increasing storage, leveraging tribal sovereignty for water rights, utilizing the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan process, building relationships with external agencies, and seeking funding for water rights. Additionally, there was a discussion on the importance of infrastructure mapping and public comments regarding water allocations and potential building moratoriums.
