Monterey Peninsula water district’s buyout of Cal Am stalled by LAFCO
If California American Water Co. was trying to delay an intergovernmental agency’s vote to allow efforts by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District to move forward in its effort to acquire the assets of Cal Am, as many people charged on Monday night, it worked. Unanimous votes from appointed commissioners of the Local Agency Formation Commission of Monterey County, or LAFCO, continued any decision on prerequisites needed for a buyout until Dec. 6 following the submission of hundreds of pages of documents, leaving commissioners little time to review them before Monday’s meeting.
