Agenda Item 18, January 25-26,2005 Board Meeting,
Statewide Water Supply Initiative (SWSI) Status Update

. The Board will be provided with an update of the status of the Statewide Water Supply Initiative
(SWSI). The presentation will include three primary topics: I) SWSI Current and Future Activities;
2) Adoption of the two mission statements regarding the 80 percent projects and planning processes
and the 20 percent unmet need as described in Section II of the SWSI report; and 3) a Staff
Roundtable to discuss how Section II can be incorporated into future Section activities. This
memorandum contains three attachments that should be reviewed in preparation for this agenda item.
Attachment A is a general overview of potential future scope activities. Attachment B is a copy of
Section II of the SWSI report. Attachment C is a copy of the objectives section of the CWCB's last
Strategic Plan.

I. Current and Future Activities - based on state fiscal year considerations these activities can
be considered in two timeframes.

.

a. December 2004 to June 30, 2005 - During this timeframe the SWSI team will be
focusing on finalizing activities associated with the fimil report. Based on feedback
obtained during the last 18 months the team recommends that we conduct another
round of Basin Roundtable meetings to discuss the fmal report an obtain additional
feedback on data, methodologies, findings and recommendations. In addition, we
anticipate the need to conduct some target outreach to interest groups to build
additional consensus on findings and recommendations. Based on these efforts we
anticipate some refinement to data and will completed project documentation
including data and data base development.
