ROLL CALL Roll call was taken by City Clerk Clark with the following being present: Mayor Valles; Council Members Estrada, Lien, Schnetz, Suarez, Anderson, McCammack; City Attorney Penman, City Clerk Clark, City Administrator Wilson. Absent: Council Member McGinnis. Others present: Project Manager Cook, Mayor's Office; Pat Milligan, President of the Board of Directors of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and designated representative for the Joint Powers Authority; Mark Bulot, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District representing Division 4; Ed Kimball, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District representing District 1; Steve Copeland, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District representing the Highland and Yucaipa areas; and Linda Barnett, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Recording Secretary. JOINT DISCUSSION - MAYOR & COMMON COUNCIL & SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS - VISION 20120 PROJECT (2) RECESS MEETING At 12: 18 p.m., Mayor Valles declared a IS-minute recess. RECONVENE MEETING At 12:31 p.m., Mayor Valles reconvened the joint adjourned regular meeting of the Mayor and Common Council and Community Development Commission of the City of San Bernardino. 1 612512001 ROLL CALL Roll call was taken by City Clerk Clark with the following being present: Mayor Valles; Council Members Estrada, Lien, Schnetz, Suarez, Anderson, McCammack; City Attorney Penman, City Clerk Clark, City Administrator Wilson. Absent: Council Member McGinnis. Others present: Project Manager Cook, Mayor's Office; Pat Milligan, President of the Board of Directors of the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District and designated representative for the Joint Powers Authority; Mark Bulot, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District representing Division 4; Ed Kimball, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District representing District 1; Steve Copeland, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District representing the Highland and Yucaipa areas; and Linda Barnett, San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Recording Secretary. Mayor Valles thanked the Municipal Water District and the Board for their willingness to work with the City of San Bernardino because she recognized that a successful venture is contingent upon the partnerships and the collaborative efforts of the City with public and private entities and existing enterprises. The Mayor also thanked the Municipal Water District for selecting the City of San Bernardino for this major project, which will have a critical, major impact on its economic renaissance. Mayor Valles stated that this project posed several questions, but what prompted this meeting was the request that the City waive development fees. She began by asking if there were compelling engineering, social, physical, or financial reasons why the reservoir had to be located in Phase lA. Mr. Milligan answered in the affirmative, stating that before they ever thought of forming a joint powers agreement with the City of San Bernardino and a Joint Powers Board, they began work on their master plan to devise a water delivery system that would work for everyone. He noted that the high groundwater makes liquefaction or an earthquake a terrifying prospect to the people who work in the downtown area of the City of San Bernardino, and for that reason they have undertaken the task of implementing a system to lower the high groundwater. Mr. Milligan indicated that because of their efforts to lower the high groundwater and the fact that significant water demands exist in the Rialto area, and will eventually exist in the Redlands/Highland/Yucaipa areas, it is imperative that they continue with the construction of their master plan. Mr. Milligan noted that the Baseline Feeder West takes a significant amount of water out of the San Bernardino area to Rialto. He stated that as part of their master plan, they are proposing an extension of the Baseline Feeder West that will take water to Highland, Redlands and Yucaipa. Mr. Milligan explained that with the skyrocketing cost of energy it is imperative that all their facilities are maintained at the proper elevation, and that a water storage reservoir or a "lake" be constructed in Phase lA, stating that it could not be properly constructed at a lower level. Mr. Milligan indicated that they decided to 2 6125/2001 join with the City of San Bernardino and to use the facilities to enhance one of its most blighted areas. Mr. Bulot stated that the District's interest in that location is to use that reservoir to feed their customers to the west, and is the optimum location in terms of engineering. Mr. Bulot stated that the concept of other locations may perhaps work in the future for other portions of their infrastructure, but that would be something they would have to look at. Mr. Bulot noted that the alternative is a steel tank, which would be less favorable and subject to risk of failure. Council Member Schnetz asked if there was another infrastructure component of their master plan that could be implemented if a different location for a reservoir proved to be the most economical one for the purposes of redevelopment. Mr. Milligan stated that he felt this would be the first significant step they would take with the City of San Bernardino, and noted that they have a contract with the Metropolitan Water District to buy water if there is a surplus of water in the high groundwater area. He explained that they are looking to the fact that additional facilities will be needed in the near future to take water south to the Santa Ana River, and are considering the possibility of building a riverwalk-type facility that would actually carry water from the reservoir area in lA south through the City. Mr. Milligan noted that the City's barrier wells are the salvation of the community in keeping the TCEs and PCEs from migrating further south into the main part of the Bunker Hill Basin, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicated that at the present rate of pumping it would take more than 100 years to clean up that water. Mr. Milligan speculated that his water agency, the City's Water Department, and the EPA will all be working out agreements to increase the level of cleanup of the San Bernardino basin, and as they increase that level of cleanup, they will increase water that has to go somewhere, and the riverwalk concept will have to be examined. Mr. Milligan stated his water district has tentatively committed itself to build less pipes underground, less storm drains, less flood control channels surrounded with barbed wire, and to build facilities that are more pleasing to look at. Mayor Valles reiterated that because of the elevation, the water district has compelling engineering reasons for locating the reservoir in Phase lA, and they also have financial reasons. Mr. Milligan stated that if they had to lower the elevation and pump large amounts of water, the cost of the water would become so expensive that people wouldn't want it and the project would fail. 3 6125/2001 Mayor Valles stated that she understood the iinancial reason for the reservoir's location is that it would be beneficial to the water district to sell the water, and that the Baseline Feeder is part of their master plan. Mr. Milligan stated that the Baseline Feeder has been constructed, but it is going through an immense expansion process. Mr. Bulot stated that the District is under contract with the Inland Empire Utilities Agency to jointly design the extension of the Baseline Feeder to the west, is at the forefront of their infrastructure enhancement, and is the reason for focusing first on the Phase lA area. Not that other areas would not be compatible with the system, but their preference is to enhance the design of their water regulating facilities rather than have tanks with open water features. Mr. Bulot stated that their focus has been on that area because of their need for some type of regulating storage and because they have contracts for delivering the water. Mayor Valles stated that she understood Mr. Bulot to say that this could not be accomplished unless the project is located in Phase lA. Mr. Bulot stated that it could be accomplished. but it would be at a much greater expense. Mr. Bulot stated that it would probably be a steel tank and he did not feel the board was prepared to pump the water uphill. He indicated that they owed it to their constituents to go ahead with this project. Mayor Valles stated that she understood Mr. Bulot to say that they have to go ahead with this project because they have to sell the water. Mr. Milligan stated that if they could not sell the water, they would go broke within a few years and would have to shut down the operation. Mayor Valles asked if the initial stage could be located in the southern part of the City. Mr. Kimball stated that with today's energy costs, the cost of pumping water upward would be substantial, and they have an obligation to deliver water to the people. Council Member Lien asked if the District was prepared to acquire all the land needed for the reservoir in the Phase I A area. Mr. Milligan stated that they are determined to move forward in partnership with the City, but in the event the City decides not to participate in Phase lA, they are prepared to acquire the 60 or 70 acres required to build the water project as they see it, or if they were to acquire a large steel tank on a 20-acre piece, they are prepared to buy the 20-acre piece and whatever lines are required. He indicated that they are politically and 4 612512001 financially prepared to acquire the property, but have no interest in acqumng the surrounding property. Mr. Milligan stated that they conducted a survey and found out that the majority of the property owners would voluntarily sell their property and he believed there would not be widespread opposition to the construction of the water project. Mayor Valles stated that she felt Phase lA and the tank would be wrong for the City of San Bernardino. Mr. Milligan stated that they did not want the tank either. Mayor Valles stated that the question still remained as to whether the water project could be accomplished in another part of the City with fewer constraints and social and physical implications. Mayor Valles stated that since beginning this process, she learned that there are other feeders that could also be developed that would cause less disruption, but would still create the economic engine to revitalize the City. Council Member Schnetz stated that a project of this magnitude could not proceed without it being a successful real estate redevelopment project. He indicated that they could locate their tank up there and provide an additional source of capacity for the Baseline Feeder and not make it a redevelopment project area, but for it to be considered a redevelopment project area there must be insurmountable burden and challenges to overcome. Mr. Schnetz stated that first of all they would have to relocate and acquire numerous parcels of property and demolish numerous pieces of infrastructure. He suggested that if the project could be started as a water element regional benefit for the community in an area that has less challenges to overcome, less houses to assemble, less individual parcels to buyout, they would have a better chance of bringing in the developers who would participate in private sector development to acquire the land. Mr. Schnetz stated that from a redevelopment perspective, he could not see the project being financially feasible without huge public subsidies. He indicated that the Council discussed finding the best location that would have the least amount of disruption to the public that would give the highest amount of return to what the water district and the City are both looking for-redevelopment and water storage capacity. Mr. Kimball stated that looking at the project from a developer's standpoint, they could build a lake with a fence around it similar to Lake Matthews, which might be a benefit to the water agency, but would not be a benefit to the community at all, so the decision was to try to make this an economic engine to help the City. He stated that they could work off that reservoir and the City could put an additional lake at another location. Council Member Schuetz stated that the City felt the redevelopment part of the equation would be less expensive and more apt to be successful. He inquired as to whether there might be another component of the District's master plan to help with the 5 6/25/2001 infrastructure and the regional water resources that would be less intrusive on the City's constituency. Mr. Kimball stated that he did not know if they could move it anywhere else. Mr. Milligan answered in the affirmative, stating that they talked about expanding the study from Ninth Street down to Sixth Street, and then down to Mill Street, and that they voted in favor of that because it is on the right gravity side of the main reservoir they are going to construct. Council Member Lien questioned whether there was any reason they couldn't start with some infrastructure that would eventually relate to their Baseline Feeder that they could start at the southern end that would allow the economic development to begin there and eventually tie into the regulating reservoir at the other end. Mr. Bulot stated that they would like to explore other locations for other components of their infrastructure, but in the meantime they must fulfill their obligation to have some sort of regulating reservoir or series of reservoirs constructed with the Baseline Feeder extensions. He indicated that they could construct something relatively unobtrusive in terms of land area in finding multiple parcels that fit along that alignment, but it would not be aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Bulot stated that the question now is what do they do as a partner in the Joint Powers Authority if the Phase lA area is proving to be difficult to get resolution on. Mr. Milligan added that they did not consider Phase lA to be a difficult area. He reiterated that they were talking about 100+ acres, 300 parcels of property, a majority of which are owned by absentee owners, and the remaining owners have indicated that they would voluntarily sell their property as long as they are treated properly financially. Mr. Milligan stated that the District is financially prepared to move forward and does not expect to make a great deal of money on the property. He stated that ample public assistance would be given in the event relocation is deemed necessary. Council Member Schnetz stated that that would add to the cost of the redevelopment. Mr. Milligan stated that they were prepared to do their part of it. Council Member Schnetz stated that the District's part of it is 35 to 40 acres and the total was over 100. Mr. Milligan stated that Mr. Schnetz was referring to the so-called "water" area, and indicated that they would have to take a significant amount of property around the water facility itself. 6 61251200 1 Mayor Valles asked if the City's major infrastructure costs have already been factored into the costs of pumping, relocation, and the purchase of the properties. Mr. Milligan stated that they performed an economic analysis of the lA area and found that property values were the lowest in the State of California, and at that time they determined that maybe the City would be interested in turning their liabilities into assets, which would produce tax revenue not only for the City, but also for the District and other governmental agencies. Mayor Valles indicated that the District had information that the City didn't have regarding the infrastructure study, and felt the information would be helpful. Council Member Estrada asked what infrastructure removal would cost. Mr. Milligan stated that removing the infrastructure would not be a significant expense, but recreation of the grids would be a significant expense, but it would be manageable. Mr. Bulot stated that without the partnership of the City in the project, they would still need a regulating reservoir for the Baseline Feeder, and he would have a tough sell to his constituents without that partnership to do anything other than construct the cheapest facility, which would likely be a steel tank. Mr. Kimball stated that the City could move the location anywhere along that elevation line, and as long as it remained on that elevation line, there would be no problem, but he understood the City wanted it moved down to M ill Street. Mayor Valles asked if that area was at the same elevation line. Mr. Kimball stated that it was not. Council Member McCammack asked where those property owners could go if there are no properties of equal value in the community. Mr. Milligan stated that they were not a redevelopment agency, but they did intend to help people relocate and would pay full market value. He noted that the property owners would probably get more money for their property than they originally paid for it. Mr. Kimball stated that the redevelopment law is specific in what has to be done. Council Member McCarnmack questioned whether they had to follow redevelopment law. 7 612512001 Mr. Milligan stated that the District had its own law and is different from what the Redevelopment Agency has to follow, but they will follow those guidelines and they are required under the law to pay full fair market value and other expenses. Mayor Valles asked if the District would be willing to work with the City in seeking other sites. Mr. Milligan stated that they just want Phase lA to be the footprint of the water projects they participate with the City in, and that this was just the first step. Mayor Valles stated that there is disagreement as to where the footprint should begin as the impetus for the water project. Mr. Kimball asked where the City wished for it to go. Mayor Valles stated that the City feels strongly about the merits of this project and is of the opinion that the preferred location for the lake should not have all the constraints and impacts associated with Phase lA as the initial development area. She indicated that the City is prepared to come up with half of the cost of preparing the Specific Plan, rather than waive the development fees, because the City is not sure where the first phase would be located and is not committed to Phase lA because of the many problems associated with it. The Mayor stated that the City is committed to this project and is willing to come up with $500,000, as a loan to the JPA, using a similar repayment schedule. After the initial phase of data collection and analysis has been completed, the City and the District would then make a separate determination as to whether to proceed with the Specific Plan. The Mayor indicated that there is no longer a need for a Fee Deferral Agreement or a fee waiver; however, she asked that the agreement for developing a plan in Phase lA with Dudek be modified and they be allowed to participate in the alternative reservoir location analysis rather than the Phase lA lake design until a decision has been made to proceed with the Specific Plan. Mayor Valles requested that a conference committee be formed to consist of four members: one from the JPA, one from the Muni Board, one member of the City Council not currently sitting on the JPA, and herself, to work out any issues that may come up during the process. Mr. Milligan stated that the City's proposal would have to be discussed among the board members. He indicated that he was interested in forming such a committee to explore the issue, but added that they will soon be acquiring more property along the Ninth Street Corridor and will let Dudek go forward with the plans for the reservoir in the 1A area. Mr. Milligan stated that it was well known when they entered into the JPA agreement with the City that they had a timetable in which to deal with the high groundwater problem. Mayor Valles stated that both bodies are concerned with the safety of the citizens of San Bernardino and understand the perils of liquefaction, but she is not quite convinced that 8 612512001 building the reservoir will necessarily lower the water table, and has concerns that any plans made by Dudek should be shared with the JPA and the City. The Mayor stated that it is important that all lines of communication remain open in order to develop the best water project, and hoped to continue positive collaboration. Mayor Valles stated that the District could not be prevented from purchasing property, but she felt it would be incumbent upon them to share that information. City Attorney Penman stated that Council has received information indicating that a reservoir at this particular location would not lower the water table and would not affect the area of the City where the high groundwater gives the greatest impact of liquefaction, which is further south and is where the Mayor and the Council would like to see the project located. Mr. Penman noted that the board may wish to consider that although they could acquire the private property, acquiring City streets would be a different matter. Mr. Milligan stated that the City came to the water district in absolute desperation to ask for help with its high groundwater problem and indicated that the water district has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to bail the City out of the problem. Mr. Bulot stated that he was pleased the City is willing to take a large financial step into this project. Council Member Lien stated that the City is serious about trying to find some element of infrastructure that can fit into that southern end that isn't on the drawing board yet-an additional project. Mayor Valles asked what sources of water were proposed to be used for the Baseline Feeder project. Mr. Milligan stated that the Baseline Feeder project relies upon wells that the City's Water Department and the District are generating. He noted that they have two wells at the present time and additional water for the expansion will come from water produced by the City's EPA wells. Mr. Milligan stated that they intend to supplement the water to the Baseline Feeder with additional wells that will be built by agreement. He indicated that high groundwater mitigation is a program in progress and will be coordinated through the City Water Department. Mr. Kersey asked how that relates back to mitigating high groundwater in the south end. Mr. Milligan stated that only the south part of the Bunker Hill Basin is off limits to pumping by the City of San Bernardino and by property owners because of deed restrictions. He stated that aside from the wells they are pumping right now, their high 9 612512001 groundwater mitigation is a program in progress and he assured the City that they would have those wells on line and would coordinate with the City Water Department. Mr. Bulot stated that the elevations didn't have anything to do with getting water out of the ground, but explained that the elevation is needed to get the water close to the Baseline Feeder, which is at 1,370 feet, and close to the State Aqueduct, which is at 1,800 feet in order to save the energy lift. He indicated that they could put wells anywhere, but stated that the pipelines cost $2 to $3 million per mile and could represent huge amounts of money. Mayor Valles asked if the task of lowering the high groundwater could still proceed whether or not the lake is built. Mr. Bulot stated that there are innumerable ways of addressing the issue because of the complexities that are involved. Mr. Milligan stated that they are moving forward as quickly as possible to answer the high groundwater problem and will continue to do so, and indicated their desire to meet with the City in the meantime to discuss the issues. Council Member Schnetz asked if it is the City's responsibility to start pumping water out of the basin to lower the water level. Mr. Milligan stated that the City owns no wells and has no ability to do anything. He indicated that the Water Department had some wells, but when the water reached its highest level they shut down many of the wells in the southern part of the City and didn't pump on a schedule to lower the high groundwater. Mr. Milligan stated that it was at that point that they were summoned to help and they accepted the responsibility. Mr. Bulot stated that management responsibilities have only been assigned by the courts insofar as to keep sufficient water coming to the basin, but no one has taken direct responsibility other than the District for making sure there isn't a problem of having too much water. Mr. Milligan stated that the District loaned $100,000 to the Water Department to run their wells when it was raining to help lower the high groundwater level to make the City safe. Mayor Valles stated that the City has several concerns and it was the consensus that another meeting should be held to discuss this issue further. 10 6125/2001 SAN BERNARDINO V ALLEY MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT DIRECTOR COPELAND EXCUSED At 2:15 p.m., San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Director Copeland left the meeting. Gil Navarro, Chairman, Mexican-American Political Association (MAPA), San Bernardino, stated that he supported the Mayor and Council's decision to take a cautious approach and for wanting to complete a thorough evaluation before going forward. He recommended that: (1) the Municipal Water District sign a disclaimer that they will proceed with the project at their own risk in the event the City decides not to proceed; (2) any properties purchased by MWD should be made public; (3) MWD sign a disclaimer that any properties purchased at fair market value are not sold to the City for more money than they are purchased for. Mr. Navarro reminded the Council that the San Antonio Riverwalk was a little different than the situation in San Bernardino in that the river was already there-it was not created; he asked if the meeting was properly noticed to include the JPA; and he indicated that a member of the JPA, George Aguilar, resides in Heber, and that this is a legal issue that needed to be addressed.
