SUBJECT: SCWA Water Advisory Committee Meeting -Future Council Actions
•
Attached are materials distributed at the January 4t", SCWA Water Advisory Committee
meeting. Also included is a copy of my May 15th memo to you regarding the May 14th Water
• Advisory Committee meeting.
• One of the most critical issues omboth agendas was the process for development of a new Master
Water Supply Agreement.
The Water Agency is in the process of hiring John Olaf Nelson, Water Resources Management,
to facilitate the approximately two year process of development and negotiation of a new Master
Water Supply Agreement. Included in the materials from the June 4th meeting is a draft
aggressive timeline for completing the negotiation process within a'two year period.
For Council discussion purposes, the following issues, at-a minimum, merit feedback to
Councilmember Pamela Torliatt, the Council liaison to the Water Advisory Committee.
1. Does the City Council want to designate management staff or Council liaison as the
official representative to the negotiation process?
2. What level of involvement from the City Attorney's office do we wish to commit to the
process?
•
3. What process should be used to keep the full Council informed as the negotiation process
continues for several years?

Subject: Amended Scope of Work Incorporating Public Workshops re WAC Request for
Assistance in Preparing New Master Agreement
•
Dr. Mr. Ferris and Mr Poole:
• Addition of Public Outreach Element
As requested I have added a public outreach element to the proposed'-Master Water Agreement
negotiation process. I propose the public workshops be facilitated by Professor Tom Jacobson of
Sonoma State University. Tom is an Associate Professor in the Depat Intent of Environmental
Studies (since 1994). He holds a Masters Degree in City Planning''from U.C. Berkeley and a law
degree from Hastings College of Law, San Francisco. In addition to the public workshops (I
estimate four in the first year), Tom would also assist by providing input,on issue framing and
solution finding. Tom is well qualified in facilitation work, being the Director of Sonoma State's
Institute for Community Planning Assistance and Coordinator of the Environmental Mediation
Program.
Proposed Amended Scope of Work
To accommodate this expanded approach, the following language is suggested for the scope of
work for the agreement between the SCWA (contractingagent for the WAC) and John Olaf
Nelson Water Resources Management (JONWRM):
"Consultant (JONWRM) shall facilitate and assist the Water Advisory Committee
(WAC) with development of a new Master Water Agreement between the Sonoma
County Water Agency (SCWA), existing water contractors (Santa.Rosa,.Petaluma,
Sonoma, Rohnert Park, Cotati, North Marin Water District, Valley of the Moon Water
• 1
•
District and Forestville Water District), th •Town of Windsor and Marin Municipal°Water
District all collectively designated,as Parties,to the proposed new agreement. Consultant,
with input-from°the Parties, will prepare:drafts of agreements'for review by theP.arties
and act as facilitator to assist,Parties in attempting to come to agreement.
•The:facilitation process will include public workshops as noted on Exhibit A to,berun by the
Institute for Community Planning Assistance/Environmental Mediation Program
(ICPA/EMP) of Sonoma State University. It is estimated that four public workshops will be
required in the first 12 months of the negotiation process. The number may more or less
as determined by the WAC.
fast-
tracked it could take as little as a year Exhibit A is an estimated annual budget based If fan-
It is recognized it may take 2-72 ears,or mote Complete the-negotiatio
budget based.on
work to be performed in the:first year.assuming`a"paced" 2-V2 year effort. Not included•in
this,estimate are services to be provided by SCWA and the City of Santa`Rosa which are •
described in detail in Notes 1 and 6 respectively of the.Exhibit. The Exhibit describes the •
•rolls of Consultant and Consultant's'subcontractor(Sonoma State University- official
contractor for the ICPA/EMP). Consultant shall be represented by and all'work performed by
John Olaf Nelson, CE. Professional work provided by sub-consultant shall be performed by
Tom Jacobson, JD,.AICP.
The goal is to achieve a proposed new Master'Water Agreement that will replace,the , ' •
' Eleventh Amended Agreement for Water Supply. an agreement that participating staff.of the
Parties will feel comfortable recommending to their decision makers for adoption. If
agreement cannot be.reached with Mann Municipal Water District and/or:the Town of
Windsor, the goal shall be to achieve consensus on an agreement that staff;of the WAC will -
feel comfortable recommending to their decision makers.
Work`toabe performed by the Contractor will,include outreach via public workshops'to permit
opportunity for questions, comments and exchange of information and ideas(workshops to
be held at locations and a frequency determined by the WAC), a suggested mission statement
that Parties can embrace, identification of issues and advice on issue framing,
recommendations for solution finding, and coordination/facilitation of negotiations between
Parties - including suggested disposition of comments from Parties and`others including
comments for attorneys representing-Parties. Consultant will.also remain available to assist
staff of Parties in making presentations to decision makers."
•
Termination
•
As with facilitation/negotiation services provided'':by JONWRM for the MOU Regarding Water.
Transmission System Capacity.Allocation,During Temporary Impairment, the termination clause
in the services agreement betweenthe SCWA and Consultant should include the+,same language,
2 •
•
namely:
"At any time and withoutcause, SCWA, as directed by the WAC, has the right to terminate
this Agreement by giving five'days written notice to Consultant. In the event
• Estimated Cost
Exhibit A sets forth an estimate of Consultant's first year facilitation/negotiation costs,namely
$98,740. Twenty-two percent of this amount is attributed to four public workshops estimated to
involve Consultant costs of$5,400 each (includes post meeting summary and issue framing and
solution finding advice provided by Consultant and sub-consultant)._It is important to stress that
the $98,740 figure represents;an estimated budget figure. This estimate can suffice as a value
representing a sum the Consultant will not exceed without advance written authorization. The
Consultant cannot, of course, guarantee consensus by all Parties will be achieved. Further it
must be recognized that the pace of progress on negotiations and efficiency in performing work is
very much a function of the cornmitment'of the Parties to pursue the proposed new agreement
diligently and to devote the time necessary to participate in the process by providing response
and comments on the various draft agreements in a timely and thorough manner. Extrapolating
the process out for 2-1/2 years brings the total estimated cost to $247,000.
• Alternatively, given ideal cooperation and aggressive participation by the Parties (including
engineering and legal experts), it is estimated that a fast track process could yield an agreement
within one year Based on the Interim Impairment MOU experience, more effort would be
required by Consultant for this-approach (75.hrs per month vs 40 hrs) and would increase the
total first year (and only year cost) to an estimated$162,000.
Therefore the range in Consultant costs to accomplish this task is estimated between a.low of
$162,000 to a high of$247000with time to complete varying from.l. year for the lower estimate
and 2-1/2 years for the higher;estimate.
Recommendation
Proceed with a "paced" approach to the negotiation with estimated first year costs to run
$98,740. At the conclusion of the first year, a new services agreement would be considered
based on progress made, satisfaction with the process and assessment by the WAC of prognosis
for consensus among the Parties.
I look fonvard to`workingwith the Parties in launching this important effort and seeing it through
to a successful conclusion.

Sincer• y yours,
Olaf Nelson
P.S. Should the.WAC wish to proceed;immediately, work can be authorized pursuant tto.an
existing agreement between the SCWA and JONWRM dated June 7, 2000"entitled
"Agreement for Facilitation Services for Responding to Water Supply and Transmission
Issues of Concern:" Task 2 of this agreement, which provides for assigning work on a
task basis as,needed as determined 'by'the'SCWA, also contains the following;language:
"Work'assignments may include services to be,provided to the Water.Advisory Commit-
tee pursuant to;the authority set-'forth inl"Section 5.3 (c) of the Tenth Amended Agreement
for Water Supply and Construction of the Russian River-Cotati Intertie;Project, or once
fully executed the Eleventh.Amended Agreement for Water Supply. The agreement
further states tasks may be assigned by the Project Manager(Pam Jeane)in writing and
shall include a scope of services and required work product. As of this date, remaining
unspent funds available for this;agreement:amount to 515,100. Unless extended, the
