       The HONORABLE   TIFFANY  NORTH,   COUNTY   COUNSEL   FOR  THE
COUNTY   OF  VENTURA,   has requested an opinion on a question relating to a
groundwater management district's statutory hiring power.

                QUESTION   PRESENTED AND CONCLUSION

      The Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency was created by the
Legislature, as reflected in Water Code Appendix sections 121-102 to 121-1105.1 Does
this statutory scheme allow the Agency to hire its own staff, or to contract with an entity
other than the County of Ventura or the United Water Conservation District for staff
services?




1 Many water districts in California have been formed through uncodified legislative acts,
which have been collected and maintained for the benefit of the public in the Water Code
Appendix. (See Preface, 70C West's Ann. Wat. Code (2010 ed.) p. III; see also
