MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
UKIAH VALLEY BASIN TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
TO THE GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY AGENCY
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) effective ______________, 2018 is
entered into by and among the Ukiah Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency
(“UVBGSA”), the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (“MCRCD”), the Sonoma
County Water Agency (“SCWA”), and the California Land Stewardship Institute (“CLSI”). The
entities entering into this MOA, and any entities subsequently added under section 3.2, are each
an individual “Party” and collectively are “Parties.”
RECITALS
A.In 2014, the California Legislature passed the Sustainable Groundwater
Management Act (“SGMA”), Water Code sections 10720-10737.8.
B.The UVBGSA is a joint powers authority formed by the County of Mendocino,
the City of Ukiah, the Upper Russian River Water Agency, and the Russian River Flood Control
and Water Conservation Improvement District, all of which are local agencies with land use or
water supply responsibilities within the Ukiah Valley Groundwater Basin (Department of Water
Resources B-118 Basin No. 1-052) (the “Basin”). The UVBGSA has been designated as the
exclusive groundwater sustainability agency for the Basin.
C.MCRCD, SCWA and CLSI are stakeholders with technical expertise and
knowledge regarding management of Basin groundwater and related surface water resources.
Through the formation of the Ukiah Valley Basin Technical Advisory Committee (“TAC”),
these Parties will assist the UVBGSA in support of its SGMA obligations and efforts to develop
sustainable groundwater management in the Basin.
D.The Parties, by and through their respective governing boards, have determined
that it would be mutually beneficial to participate in the TAC and this MOU, with their
participation guided by the following principles:
i.Sustainable groundwater management can be achieved through
coordinated management of Basin groundwater and related surface water supplies.
ii.Regional actions that leverage available resources for compliance with
SGMA and water rights regulations can be achieved and will result in a more efficient and
effective response to water reliability issues in the Upper Russian River watershed.
iii.As directed by the UVBGSA governing board, the TAC will cooperate in
the development of a common scientific understanding of the processes of interaction between
groundwater in the Basin and surface water.
2
In consideration of these recitals and the mutual agreement in this MOU, the Parties
agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Purpose and Authority. The purpose of the TAC is to provide information and
recommendations to the UVBGSA Board of Directors regarding the development and
preparation of groundwater management policies and programs, and information regarding
the interaction of surface water in the Basin.
The TAC will have authority to make recommendations on the following actions:
Assess present groundwater conditions in the Basin.
Provide review, comments and recommendations to the UVBGSA regarding technical
data and analyses for SGMA implementation in the Basin and its interaction with surface
water supplies.
Provide review, comments and recommendations regarding the Basin Groundwater
Sustainability Plan that the UVBGSA will prepare.
Provide a forum to share technical information and coordinate various activities by the
Parties that could affect water resource management in the Basin and Upper Russian
River watershed.
Identify and develop water management concepts of mutual interest for consideration by
the UVBGSA governing board.
Coordinate and partner for grant funding opportunities related to surface and groundwater
interaction and management.
Review and provide comments and recommendations on other items referred to the TAC
by the UVBGSA Board of Directors, or on other matters of mutual interest to the
UVBGSA, the TAC or the Parties.
2. Process of Recommendation by the TAC to the Board of Directors. The Parties agree that
the TAC will strive for consensus in all of its decision making activities. The Parties agree
that working toward stakeholder consensus is a fundamental principle of the TAC and this
MOU. The TAC is consensus seeking but shall not limit itself to strict consensus if 100%
agreement among all representatives cannot be reached after all interests and options have
been thoroughly identified, explored, and discussed. When unable to reach consensus on
advice or recommendations, the Committee will outline the areas in which it does not agree,
providing some explanation of both majority and minority viewpoints in its recommendation
reports that inform Board decision-making. In order to conduct business (e.g. make and
advance a recommendation to the Board), a quorum of the Advisory Committee must be
3
present. A super majority of the total number of Advisory Committee members constitutes a
quorum.
3. Committee Governance.
3.1. Membership. The TAC will consist of the following members:
One regular and one alternate member from each of the UVBGSA members:
County of Mendocino, City of Ukiah, Upper Russian River Water Agency, Russian
River Flood Control and Water Conservation Improvement District, Tribal,
Agricultural, MCRCD, SCWA and CLSI, to be appointed by each member’s
governing board; and,
One regular member and one alternate member representing each entity added to the
MOU pursuant to section 3.2, to be appointed by that entity’s governing board.
Each regular member and each alternate member will serve at the pleasure of the
appointing entity and each may be removed and replaced at any time by the appointing
entity’s governing board, with a replacement designated by notice to the Parties.
3.2. Addition of Parties. Additional parties may become a Party through TAC member
agreement and recommendation for action by the Board of Directors.
3.3. Withdrawal of Parties. A Party may withdraw from the MOU or be removed from the
MOU by: (a) unanimous action by the other Parties’ governing boards, or (b) written
notice to the other Parties from the governing board of the Party leaving the MOU.
3.4. Meetings, Notice and Brown Act Compliance. The TAC meetings will comply with
the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code, §§ 54950-54963 (the “Brown Act”)). The
Committee will hold its first meeting as directed by the Board of Directors. Except for
the first meeting, the time, place and manner of holding meetings will be prescribed by
the TAC and announced by email to the TAC and all interested parties. The Committee
will hold meetings as frequently as directed by the Board of Directors. Special TAC
meetings may be called by the TAC members, provided that notification to the public is
made in accordance with the Brown Act.
3.5. Compensation. TAC regular members will serve without compensation from the
UVBGSA.
3.6. Rules. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Brown Act,
the TAC may adopt such other rules as it may deem necessary for the transaction of its
business.

effect until terminated by a majority vote by the UVBGSA Board of Directors, or a
unanimous vote of the TAC members.
