BUSINESS ITEMS

viability of desalination as an alternative water supply.
Allen Short, Water Division Manager, reviewed the agenda report stating that
staff was asking Council to authorize solicitation of a Request for Proposals
for professional engineering services to evaluate desalination as an option

Gas and Electric Co. has successfully used desalination for their own needs.
The desalination plant at Diablo supplies 258 of their energy requirements, at
an approximate cost of $1500 to $1600 per square foot, ezcluding land and
structure. He felt although a joint venture was possibile, P.G. A E. had not
previously exercised further development of this resource due to the political
environment.

billing responsibilities for residential refuse collection services to San
Luis garbage Company per their request. Conversion from a bi-monthly to a
monthly billing cycle, he felt would, a) more appropriately reflect the cost
of water and sewer services in comparison with other utility services which
are billed monthly, b) reduce the impact of the City's combined utility
billing on the customers by spreading the payment over 12 rather than 6
payments per year, c) support the City's water conservation efforts by
providing usage information on a more timely basis to customers and staff, and

basnet) this item was received and filed.
S. REVENUE RATS REOIIIREINTB FOR WATER AND SEWER FONDS (Pile No. 512)
Council considered specific revenue requirements for operation and maintenance
needs, drought related costs and future capital improvement projects.
John Dunn, City Administrative Officer, provided an overview of the City's
Current water statis._ He stressed that water is one of our most basic
commodities. He felt that the City had a moral responsibility to provide
sufficient, high quality water to its citizens. The water treatment plant is
30 years old and needs modernization. Many of our rater mains are
deteriorated and need replacement, and the groundwater well development
program is an excellent but expensive program. Only a very samll percentage
of the proposed water rate increase is due to selling less water because of
the drought situation. The Council has established the policy that the water
and sanitary sewer systems should be self-supporting. That policy is wise
because the General Fund cannot support both City operations and utility
services. Basically, the water system needs sufficient money .to survive and
therefore urged the Council to support the 59 percent increase.
Bill Betland, Utilities Director, reviewed the agenda report with the
recommendation that Council, by motion, receive the report on Water and
Wastewater requirements and direct staff to return with appropriate rate
ordinances and resolutions that would incorporate the following concepts:
1) Water rate increase of 629 (this was amended to 59% after the action
taken in Item 03) effective June 1, 1990. An additional rate increase may be
required June 1, 1991, depending on the City's water supply situation.
2) water connection fee increase from the current fee of $345.00 per single
family connection to $1,500.00 per single family connection effective June 1,
1990.
3) Wastewater rate increase of $2.00 per month effective June 1, 1990, and
an additional $2.00 per month each June for the next four years ($8.50 to
$16.50).
4) Establish a wastewater connection fee of 51,950.00 per single family
connection.
Navor- Dunin asked for public comment.
Gary Kunkel, 719 Cuesta, spoke in support of the City's obtaining additional
water resources.
Richie Ray Walker, La Entrada, was opposed to allowing additional development
while the City is in a drought.
City Council Minutes page 5
Tuesday, May 81 1990 - 4:00 p.me .and 7e00 p.m:
Jim Merkle called for a building moratorium, and was not supportive of most of

Amy- Arsenio, 2053 Bay Street, urged Council adopt a drought policy.

those who had been conserving water.

hardship to those on fixed incomes .and was unfair. -

college rates be reviewed and.increased.

Councilman Roalman stated that he could support the 59% increase, felt it was
necessary to meet the current City revenue demands.
Councilwoman Pinard felt the City was in this position because of continuing
to exceed the safe annual yield time after time, she could not support rate
increase.
Councilman Reiss said he could support the operation maintenance cost, but was
opposed to the significant increased rates. He suggested taking some from the
General Fund a temporary measure.
Councilman Dunin stated he could support utilising the utility tax. He
wouldn't be able to support a rate increase for the 14% deficit as a direct
result of the water conservation effort. Be felt that was penalising the rate
payers.
