Associate membership (ex-officio) was also <br />extended to the San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation as their input and support is <br />essential to the success of the Authority. Other members have been contemplated such <br />as SSJID, OID, City of Lathrop, Manteca, Escalon, and Ripon, Calaveras County Water <br />District, Stanislaus County, DWR, Freeport Regional Water Authority, and EBMUD. <br />• Continued Use of the Authority as a Forum: As the Authority looks to implement the <br />Plan, the member agencies will move the outlined projects through the planning, <br />permitting, and design stages and ultimately to construction. In a forum, implementing <br />member agencies will be able to quantify the benefits of its projects to stakeholders and <br />receive comments and suggestions before disputes arise. <br />• Continued Facilitation by the California Center for Collaborative Policy: The <br />California Center for Collaborative Policy (Center) has been an integral part to the <br />success of the Authority’s consensus based process. The Center’s presence has <br />maintained an atmosphere conducive to openness, compromise, and agreement. It is <br />expected that the Center will continue to facilitate Authority meetings and throughout the <br />implementation of the Plan.
