REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 9/15/2008 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PW 08-68
Analysis: The Public Works Utilities Division included $75,000 in the Fiscal Year 2008/09
budget submittal under Water Administration professional services for development of a
Water Use Efficiency Master Plan. The goal is to create a long-term plan focusing on
compliance with the Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Water Conservation developed
by the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) and design of sustainable
water conservation programs and projects.
In July 2008, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced a new Proposition 50
grant cycle for Water Use Efficiency projects. Under the grant, individual water agencies
could apply for grant funds up to $250,000 or 50% for qualified projects. The City submitted
a grant proposal with a total project cost of $100,000 and requested a $25,000 or 25% grant.
Staff received a Notice of Recommended Award on August 21, 2008. As part of the grant
process, the City is required to adopt a resolution accepting the grant funds. Once adopted,
the resolution will be submitted to DWR, who in turn will forward a grant agreement for
execution by the Director of Public Works.
The Water Use Efficiency Master Plan will evaluate water conservation opportunities for city
facilities and property. The Plan will include review of irrigation controller operations for
parks and medians, leak detection and water audits of City buildings. The current project
schedule, as presented in the City's grant application, calls for a completion date of June 1,
2009. Staff intends to release a request for proposals in October 2008 with the intent of
retaining a qualified consultant by early 2009.
Strategic Plan Goal: C-2 - Provide quality public services with the highest professional
standards to meet community expectations and needs, assuring that the city is sufficiently
staffed and equipped overall.
