Joshua Basin Water District has several standing committees (also known as standing advisory committees). Standing committee meetings are open to the public and meet on a regular schedule. The President of the Board may appoint two Directors to each committee or may rotate directors at their discretion.
To preserve Board integrity, committees are used sparingly, only when other methods have been deemed inadequate. Committees are not used to interfere with the wholeness of the Board's job. Board Committees may not speak or act for the Board except when formally given such authority for specific and time-limited purposes. Such authority is carefully stated in order not to conflict with authority delegated to the General Manager.
Joshua Basin Water District is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Joshua Basin Water District
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Joshua Basin Water District has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Joshua Basin Water District regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
