In Response: Water Authority Meetings Open And Transparent

Regarding “Local agencies ignore ‘be open’ admonition”(April 5): It was disturbing to read the U-T Editorial Board’s recent inaccurate and unwarranted assertion that the San Diego County Water Authority has ignored state law by not providing public notice or agendas for every meeting for which a board member receives a stipend. The U-T unfairly attempted to create the impression that the Water Authority was not complying with California’s open meeting laws. This is not true.
