6.G. - Page 5 of 238 4. New section 3.18, reflecting the Hetch Hetchy Amendment approved in 2013. 5. Revised section 8.04, reflecting the authority previously delegated by the Wholesale Customers to BAWSCA in 2014 to initiate, defend, and settle arbitration for matters subject to arbitration under the WSA. 6. Updates reflecting Cal Water's acquisition of Skyline County Water District. 7. Updates to the addresses for both BAWSCA and SFPUC Beginning in 2019 BAWSCA and San Francisco will begin discussions to address other potential amendments to the WSA relating to minimum purchase requirements that apply to Wholesale Customers with more than one source of water supply. The WSA allows Wholesale Customers to transfer Individual Supply Guarantee (ISG) between themselves, and some Wholesale Customers may be interested in transferring ISG in order to reduce their minimum purchase requirement and corresponding financial impact. Redwood City does not have a minimum purchase requirement, but may be able to benefit from ISG transfers. FISCAL IMPACT These amendments to the Water Supply Agreement with the City and County of San Francisco do not have any direct fiscal impact to the City. However, changes to the classification of assets will limit and mitigate Redwood City's exposure to financial risks on certain projects and long-term improvements to the Regional Water System. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Prior to approval of the WSIP, San Francisco prepared a program environmental impact report (PEIR) for the WSIP in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the San Francisco Planning Commission certified the WSIP Final PEIR in Planning Commission Motion No. 17734. The City reviewed the Final PEIR and CEQA findings and adopted them to the extent the findings were relevant to its decision to approve the WSA. At this time, the City need not take any further action to comply with the requirements of CEQA as the amendments are not a "project" for the purposes of the CEQA. The amendments at issue involve an administrative activity that does not result in a direct change to the environment (see 14 CCR Section 15378(b)(5)), and would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (see 14 CCR Section 15060(c)(2)). PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting.
