Staf~ was asked if ~a there is appraisal information on this land. is ~IGA'TION ~?VIT~ ~'REA'I'El) ~'AS'TEWA~'EIt i6 T'he Council has before it the question wY~ether or noY to continue to offer the treated i~ wastewater to the ranchers this year. Michael Ban, Utility Engineer, told the Council that the is Regional Water Quality Control Order remains in effect; i.e. no summer discharge of i9 wastewater into the Petaluma River, between May 1 and October 20. It is premature to have Zo information on the amount of treated wastewater that will be available when the new sewer zi plant is functiorung in four or five years. The sta~s recommendation as for the Council to zz authorize distribution of a reduced amount of treated wastewater (512 acre-feet less than last Zs year). That would allow distribution of 550,000,000 gallons of treated wastewater for Za agricultural imgation. This would support irrigation to approximately 675 acres, which is as 153 acres less than the amount of land irrigated in 1997. The annual amount of reclaimed 26 water used annually is weather dependent. ~'he reduction would be aclueved by equitably z~ reducing the amount of reclaimed water provided to the agricultural users. 'This will reyuire zs that a certain volume of water be stored in the oxidation ponds prior to the beginrung of the z9 irrigation season in order to meet demand and to maintain water quality. so 'The result of this is 153 acres would have to be removed and returned to dry, native range 3i land. Ttus would involve effort by the landowners in that the land will have to be reseeded 32 with native grass. It is the goal to identify lands with potential erosion and run-off problems 33 for the return to dry, native range land. '~'he benefit of making t}us choice is long term. 34 The Council asked the following questions anc~ made the following comments: 3s °~7Vhat is the cost to irrigate Rooster Run Golf Course? Response - Will obtain cost 36 ~nformation for the Council. s~ ° Did we ever go out for a request for proposal to imgate? Response - no. ss °~Iave vve looked a~ purchasing property? Response - not ~ooked at it in detail. 39 ° Is happy to have landowners use the water, but this shouldn't cost us $300/acre to ~o ~rrigate. a~ ° What would be the cost to add flatlands to the irrigation system? Itesponse - the cost a2 would be piping, pumping, installation of necessary equipment.....cost would depend on 43 location.

Response - 5 i3 days. Preparing documents would take longer. The users are particular who goes ia on their property. is ° The City Manager asked: What is the RFP about? What criteria do you use to i6 evaluate the responses? What are the goals? If you want to do this, we would i~ bring back a boiler plate contract, ask you what questions you would want to ask ia in the RFF. i9 ° We need justification of the cost. RAM has said that would expose them to zo competition, but we need justification for the price. If we can't get that, we ~i should do an RFP. 2z ° '~here must be other users to take ttus water. a3 ° \1Vant to see if there is someone out there who would do it for less but provide the Za same service. Zs It was noted the City will have to drop a number of ranchers if the choice is Alternative 4 ~s from the 1~larch 2, 1998, Interim Water Reclamation Program Report. z~ Bill Toci, U. S. Filter/EOS - this city is dependent on weather when they calculate the Zs amount of water to keep in storage to prepare for irrigation. And then, there are the times 29 vve receive 4'/z inches of rain in a day. During the recent rains, the ponds had nearly reached ~o their capacity. If you wish to purchase land to imgate, you would have to purchase the pipes ~i and go through and EI1Z process. Yf you do not use the treated water for irrigation at 32 Rooster Run Golf Course, you will be taking water away from human consumption and fire 33 fighting needs. Regarding the desire to use more flat lands for irrigation, the Mosquito 34 Abatement district does not allow any ponding of water. Should ponding occur, the ss irrigation would be shut down. There are check dams in placs for those sites where run-off 36 ~night occur. If you have the users do the irrigation, who will ~atch for those problems? s~ Vasco Brazil - you are up against the wall. Staff is working for the landowners, not the sa ratepayers. Put the hammer to staff. ~Ie then discussed the in-igation project as it was done 39 ~n the early 1980's. Your alternatives are not acceptable, not rate payer friendly. You should ~o put this out to bid. ai Dan Silacci, the irrigator, RAM - we have suffered a few year> and it was good a few years. a2 i~Ve had hoped it would be considered a benefit to the commuruty. You say you haven't had 43 the information before you, it has been in the staff reports. We have done everything we can. a~ ~'m totally fiustrated.

VVith improvements to the system, we would do it ourselves. If you turn off the s water you would encourage people to get out of ttus business. There have been times when a we have taken more water just to assist the city. io ~~ iz It was moved by MM and seconded by JH - for this irrigation season, to go' with the acreage and volumes of Option 3(Interim Wastewater Reclamation j Program lteport March 2, 1998), with a one year contract, at the existing rate I of 300 acre feet, with RAM handling the irngation. The City Attorney is to'. ascertain that the contract provisions are written to protect the City. For the long term, the staff will develop RFP suggestions and bring that back to the Council in October.
