Ladwp Board Of Commissioners Special Board Meeting
The special board meeting commenced with roll call confirming a quorum. Key procedural points involved deferring agenda items N6 and N24. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to public comment, featuring discussions on significant billing issues, including a resident receiving an excessive bill due to a malfunctioning meter over five years, which prompted the manager of customer relations to offer immediate assistance. Subsequent public comments centered heavily on congratulating President Richard Katz on his service and expressing strong support for the expansion of the Tilman Reclamation Facility. Speakers emphasized that this expansion and the resulting local water supply are critical for climate resilience and enabling the reduction of water diversions from Mono Lake to allow its elevation to recover to 6,392 feet. Advocates urged the commission to communicate this support to the State Water Resource Control Board.
