                       issues needing to be studied as part of the process. It included brief presentations
                       from the general  managers of both NCWD and CLWA, then a  robust  public
                       comment and question and answer session.
                   •  Result: Questions and issues were  documented  and incorporated in  future
                       planning and studies.

               Workshop #2:  Priority Setting
                   •  Date: May 16, 2016
                   •  Attendance: 90 (approx.)
                   •  Recap: This workshop focused on learning community priorities of a potential new
                       water  district. The agencies  re-introduced the concept, challenges and
                       opportunities. A representative from LAFCO outlined general governance matters
                       in the region. Residents were then asked to rate their priorities on matters related
                       to governance, service and finance.
                   •  Result: More than 50 priority cards were submitted.

               Workshop #3:  Governance: How Could a New District be Governed?
                   •  Date: June 6, 2016
                   •  Attendance: 50 (approx.)
                   •  Recap: Based on priorities set by the community, a study was conducted and
                       released to the public on potential governance structures. The public was invited
                       to weigh in on matters like size of potential board, election, California Voting Rights
                       Act, specific boundaries and other governance matters.
                   •  Result:  The Boards  of both NCWD and  CLWA received considerable public
                       feedback on  potential entity governance structures, including a  division-based
                       structure and the size of the new board.

                   •  Date: November 16, 2016
                   •  Attendance: 30 (approx.)
                   •  Recap:  The public and boards  of directors were provided the comprehensive
                       governance, finance and operations study. Financial experts provided a detailed
                       analysis of the  financial structure.  The legal team provided a summary of the
                       proposed settlement agreement and governance structure. The public and board
                       members then asked questions of the independent experts, staff and each other.
                       The boards directed  staff  to keep the Study available to the  public  for  an
                       approximately one-month review and comment period.
