LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 588, Robert Rivas.
Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency Act: board members.
Existing law, the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency Act, specifies qualifications for the 7-member board of directors that governs the agency, 4 of whom are elected and 3 of whom are appointed. Existing law requires that the 3 appointed members reside within the jurisdiction of the appointing power, derive at least 51% of their net income from the production of agricultural products, as certified by affidavit, and be appointed by the Board of Supervisors of Monterey County, the Board of Supervisors of Santa Cruz County, and the City of Watsonville, respectively.
This bill would require the appointee of the City of Watsonville to instead have a primary income that involves or, if the appointee is retired, did involve, a close and continuing relationship with the Pajaro Valley agricultural industry.
