STAFF REPORT
Last December the Council approved in principal cost sharing for the high
groundwater pumping program not to exceed $200,000 and directed City staff to
negotiate an agreement with San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water Department.
This month the Council directed the City Administrator to request that the
Agency place an item on its December 16th agenda recommending methods for
funding the $200,000 pumping costs plus an additional $36,370.23 for incurred
pumping costs.
Staffs recommendation is that costs for both ($200,000 + $36,370.23) be
reimbursed to the City from access tax increment funds, as they flow, from the
Tri City Project both Sub Area A & B. Excess tax increment, is that increment
remaining after 20% set aside from low/moderate housing has been deducted, plus
previously agreed sums for the various taxing districts.
Projections indicate that reimbursement could start in year 87/88 and take
approximately 5 years for full repayment. This does not take into account any
reserves for negotiations for future development agreements or reimbursement to
Nutech for regional improvements. As you will recall, our current agreement
with Nutech provides that the Agency and Nutech will negotiate an agreement for
reimbursement of these costs.

Mr. Lou Pletcher, San Bernardino Valley Municipal /
Water District, presented a draft propoaal dated December
17, 1984 regarding the high groundwater probl.., which
Includea the following polnta:
One go,1 of the SBVMWO High Groundwater
Management Program is to develop and imple-
ment plans which viII .ini.ize the threat
to public health and aafety vhich re.ults
from the continued exiatence of groundwater
within 20-30 feet of the ground aurface
within the Arteaian Zone of the Bunker Hill
groundwater basin.
c
Another goal is to maximize water conserva-
tion within the basin area. Currently,
water i. loat to phreatophytes and ri.ing
vater. Purther, there i. inaufficient room
in the ba.in for .carry-over .torage" to
capture native vater and atore it in the
ba.in.
A third goal i. to enhance the vater quali-
ty within the baalna of the SBVHWD by re-
.oving water of poorer quality, apreading
good quality water in other ba.in., and
i.proving the aasi.ilative capacity of the
Santa Ana River by redUCing riaing water
from the pre..ure Zone.
$BVMWD High Groun4water Management POlicy
(Proposed):
1. Pump to the Santa Ana River - 8egin
immediately a.sisting all agencies over-
laying the Presaure Zone to develop a pro-
gram of pumping water from exiating wells
to the flood control channels in aufficient
quantities to remove up to 40,000 acre feet
of water in calendar year 1'85.
