IID not quite ready to implement Garcia’s compromise 6 point-plan
Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on May 28, 2008 at 6:09 amFrom the Imperial Valley Press:
The Imperial Irrigation District board delayed implementing the six-point plan reached with Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia, on Tuesday. At the urging of the Energy Consumer Advisory Committee, the board tabled the plan until the organization can make some recommendations on the compromise.
The ECAC, which will be reconstituted as part of the agreement, discussed the energy action plan. “It’s time for her to back away and allow the ECAC to discuss a long-term plan,” said Gil Perez, a member of the committee.
There seems to be some confusion about representation on the committee, which is to be reformed as a result of the compromise. The committee wants more time to make it’s recommendations:
“We strongly believe there is a lot of merit in the six-point plan,” Perez said. “But there is room for improvement.” A subcommittee of the ECAC is scheduled to work on recommendations before the board’s next meeting in La Quinta on June 10.
“Clearly she is concerned about allowing the community to become more involved in the IID policy development. So we believe she should also be able to detect the basic hypocrisy of denying community input in a plan designed to get more community input,” Perez said.
