II. Topical Items

A.

WPS Facilities

K. Sved presented two guiding questions as a continuation of this topic from the Special Board Meeting on October 28. These questions focused on financial and site feasibility and investment in the initial stage of the 407 Main Street project in Watsonville.  Members discussed areas of concern regarding the location of the site and strategies to mitigate these concerns.  After considering challenges and positives, members agreed to move on to the the second point of the discussion concerning the Board's willingness to invest in elements of the project contained in resolutions listed in the agenda; mainly, project management, architectural services, and a loan agreement. Board members asked clarifying questions about these components and shared opinions, concerns, and insights, coming to a general consensus supporting continued investment until the next point of review on December 8 at the regular NS Board Meeting.
