About Us

Daily operations are managed by the Administrative Assistant/Board Secretary and the Business Manager.  In addition, the District contracts with a water management service, a meter reader, and, as needed, legal counsel.  The Board Secretary records and posts meeting minutes.

The Board of AHCWD holds public meetings typically on the first Tuesday or Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm at the Chemeketa Park Clubhouse, which is adjacent to 17759 Apache Trail, Los Gatos, CA 95033.  Parking is accessible from Comanche Trail, just past the intersection of Apache Trail and Comanche Trail on the playground pavement.  The agenda for each meeting is posted 72 hours (minimum) prior to the meeting on AHCWD’s website and on the District’s bulletin board located by the big eucalyptus tree on the pullout near the entrance to Locust Drive.  Members of the District are particularly encouraged to attend regular meetings, the only exception being the occasional closed meetings (usually occurring from 6-6:30pm prior to a regular meeting) where confidential matters or legal issues are discussed.

At the beginning of each public meeting, there is an opportunity for public comment (see agenda) where anyone in attendance can address the Board for a period of 3 minutes on any matter of concern.  Such items may be added to the following month’s agenda for lengthier future discussion where appropriate.
