PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Urban Water Management Plan Amendment Public Works Services Director Ingram explained the topic utilizing a PowerPoint presentation and summarized the Plan amendments in five general areas: 1.) Plan format; 2.) Reliability Planning — Table 3.1 and Figure 3.1; 3.) Transfer & Exchanges expanded; 4.) RWC Shortage Contingency Plan added; and 4.) Water Recycling information updated. Utilities Committee Chair Vice Mayor Ira reviewed some broad principles stressing the importance of the Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) on its basic goal. The basic goal being to make clear that we have a water problem and in fact we do not have enough water. When looking at the base forecast and what the water assurance line is, there is a tremendous gap in the year 2010, and a bigger gap in 2020. He stated that we are looking at potential lifestyle changes in the city if we cannot come to grips with the bottom line of having a water problem and that is the overriding issue. He stated that it will have a serious impact on future Council decisions, Planning Department approach and City direction. Vice Mayor Ira read a proposed amendment to page 18 of the UWMP, Section 2.2. He explained that the amendment would set the tone for whenever the term "recycled water" is used in the document. Vice Mayor Ira and PWS Ingram stated that more detail about the conversation status and less specificity was the intent. If the policy were to be applied out of context, the concern is that people might construe that as there being a specific project. Council Member Jordan thanked Vice Mayor Ira for the alternative text and asked that the Council consider adding the formal policy stating that she is not convinced that it is somehow irrelevant. Mayor Claire opened the public hearing. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING May 12, 2DO3 MINUTES PAGE 3
