* On UCSC Expansion:
Candidates who support City compliance with the Endangered Species Act before approving any water to UCSC are Steve Pleich, Micah Posner, Jake Fusari, and Cece Pinheiro. These candidates agreed with the statement, "It is wise to wait until the City understands how much it will need to reduce its water diversion from local streams before approving more water service for UCSC growth." This reasonable stance means that the question of UCSC growth must wait until fish habitat and drought security issues are resolved.
Running for re-election is Don Lane, who is also a LAFCO Commissioner. Lane has not supported a proposed LAFCO condition that requires the City to comply with the Endangered Species Act to allow adequate stream flows for native salmon before UCSC gets any water for expansion. Lane said, "It is becoming unreasonable to tell UCSC to wait indefinitely.
