Item No. 3 (continued) Ken Kaufman, South Bayside System Authority, explained the standard that determines the violation. He explained that the standards are 4.5 milligram per liter for copper and 0.6 for lead. He said that some of the tests have shown copper to be 18 milligrams per liter which is nearly 4 times the allowable limit and lead at 1.7 which is 3 times the limit. At the request of the City Attorney, Mr. Kaufman described the process SBSA follows in detecting the violations and the period of time involved, noting the staff report outlines the sequence followed for Bay Area Circuits. He noted that samples were collected last week and there were no violations but there must be a minimum of 3 to 6 months with no violations to demonstrate compliance, depending on frequency of collecting samples. He advised that the cost involved in sampling is $200 per sample. Mayor Claire opened the public hearing at 9:20 p.m. Roy Nobriga, 91 Winslow, representative of Bay Area Circuits, stated that since October 24 of this year they have been in compliance and submitted analysis reports from two different labs for file. Boon Lim, consultant for Bay Area Circuits, 1211 Park Avenue, San Jose, explained that his company installed another system in October and a month later installed a more sophisticated system and that they check the system often and make recommendations for any repairs that need to be done. In response to questions from City Attorney, Mr. Nobriga and Mr. Lim explained that the equipment installed in November is permanent and all automatic; that the company does electroplating, that the old equipment could not handle the new chemical the company now uses; that they are sure the new system will work but if it doesn't, there is another system that is guaranteed 100 %. M /S: Britschgi /Bury to close the public hearing. The public hearing closed at 9:30 p.m. At request of Council, City Attorney Schricker repeated the four options available to Council. (See above) Mr. Bewley (see above) stated that SBSA is not recommending immediate termination at this time and suggested 90 day extention and to continue sampling 2 -4 times a month on a random basis and report back to Council.
