January 18, 2023-Meyers Advocates for More Board Transparency

Every year, the OMWD Board of Directors sets annual objectives for its staff to implement to meet our mission to provide safe, reliable, high-quality drinking water, wastewater treatment, and park services in a cost-effective and environmentally responsive manner. Doing so requires as much transparency as possible for our ratepayers. When I was appointed to the Board in 2021, I learned that our Board and committee meetings are not streamed online, nor were recordings of our meetings posted for public access. That is not the transparency our ratepayers deserve. At our January 18, 2023, Board meeting, I proposed, and the Board accepted as an annual objective that staff investigates the cost, feasibility, and potential viewer engagement of live public streaming of OMWD public meetings. We should have a staff report soon. I will also advocate adding recordings to OMWD’s website for the public to access anytime. I believe this is long overdue.

August 2, 2022- Colorado River Drought

On August 2, 2022, I attended the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Region 10 conference held at the OMWD Board room. The keynote speaker presented how the drought is impacting the Colorado River basin and its impact on Southern California water supplies. The facts are humbling, highlighting our need to conserve, promote recycled water and water reuse and develop fiscally and environmentally responsible local water supplies. I would be grateful for your consideration and vote in this upcoming election to help lead OMWD in those efforts.
