Christina Lai, on behalf of many supporters, referred to an August 2003 issue of <br />the Journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology published paper pertaining <br />to Cryptosporidium in recycled water that former Council Member Jordan had <br />presented to Council and asking for a response. <br />Even though the State Law does not require SBSA to monitor or test for <br />Cryptosporidium, but on behalf of Citizens' concerns, we hope that SBSA can <br />start monitoring and testing for Cryptosporidium now. She asked that SBSA <br />implement ultraviolet light because at the Santa Rosa wastewater treatment <br />facility, the wastewater is disinfected with ultraviolet light, which may provide <br />99.9% or more inactivation for Cryptosporidium. <br />She asked the Council to give direction to staff instructing them to (1) Establish a <br />deadline for a response to Dr. Rose's Crypto paper. (2) Prepare a report to <br />reassess the health risk of Crypto in recycled water produced by SBSA. (3) <br />Evaluate the method of testing and monitoring for Cryptosporidium at SBSA <br />facilities. (4) Additional technologies to improve the quality of recycled water. (A <br />copy of Ms. Lai's speech is on file in the City Clerk Department.) <br />Mayor Ira stated that PWS Ingram is proactive in working toward addressing <br />various concerns and comments that will be communicated in the future to the <br />Council and community. <br />Recommendation: <br />M/S Foust/Ruskin to request that the South Bayside System Authority <br />Commission maintain current momentum of preliminary engineering design for <br />Recycled Water Treatment, Disinfection, Storage and Pumping Facilities at SBSA, <br />pending completion and approval of the Agreement. The motion passed by a <br />unanimous voice vote. MINUTE ORDER 04 -114 <br />8. MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br />A.
