The MVCAC Executive Committee has approved the renewal of the NPDES Coalition Agreement for the monitoring and reporting permit for the period 2016-2021. The agreement and rules were emailed to the Districts today. We need each member of the Coalition to sign and return the permit application either by mail or email.
SB 272 Draft Language
Senate Bill No. 272 (SB 272) requires local agencies, by July 1, 2016, to create a catalog of their enterprise systems, make the catalog publicly available, and post the catalog on their Internet Web sites. "Enterprise System," as defined by Senate Bill 272 (SB272), is referred to as a system that "collects, exchanges, and analyzes information that the agency uses" in multiple departments that contains information collected about the public and is an original data source. MVCAC IT Committee developed a template to assist member agencies in creating their own enterprise inventories. Use the template as a guide and refer to your agency's legal counsel for review before posting to our website.
We know many districts have not closed their books yet, so please submit your fiscal status reports when you are able. We're hoping to have all dues payments received by September 1, 2016.
Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions. Thank you for supporting MVCAC!
