2001/11/27 City Council Resolution (20)Resolution No. 2001- 263 ..
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK ENDORSING THE GUIDELINES
AND EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR THE SONOMA COUNTY WATER AGENCY'S FUNDING PROGRAM FOR
RECYCLED WATER PROJECTS, LOCAL WATER SUPPLY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, AND ADVANCED
WATER CONSERVATION PROJECTS
Whereas, the Sonoma County Water Agency provides water to Rohnert Park and the majority
of the urban areas in southern Sonoma County and portions of Marin County; and
Whereas, the Board of Directors of the Sonoma County Water Agency has declared a condition
of temporary impairment to their water transmission system during the summer months due to
constraints on their delivery system; and
Whereas, Rohnert Park, other water contractors of the Sonoma County Water Agency, the
Town of Windsor, the Marin Municipal Water District, and the Agency itself entered into the
Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Water Transmission System Capacity Allocations
During Temporary Impairment on March 1, 2001; and
Whereas, this Memorandum of Understanding requires all signatories to evaluate and
implement cost effective recycled water projects, local water supply projects, and advanced
water conservation projects which reduce peak demand in a sustainable way; and
Whereas, the Board of Directors of the Sonoma County Water Agency, in December 1999,
endorsed the concept of the Agency providing funding for these projects by authorizing the
General Manager /Chief Engineer to proceed with the steps necessary for implementation of
such projects in the water contractor and other customer service areas; and
Whereas, on November 5, 2001, the Sonoma County Water Agency Water Advisory Committee
approved evaluation and funding guidelines for these projects which would provide to the water
contractors, the Town of Windsor, and the Marin Municipal Water District thirteen million dollars
over ten years at up to two million dollars per year for implementation of these projects; and
Now, Therefore, be it Resolved that the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park endorses the
guidelines and project evaluation criteria for the Sonoma County Water Agency's local supply,
recycled water, and advanced water conservation funding program as approved by the Water
Advisory Committee.

FUNDING PROGRAM
The Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Water Transmission System Capacity
Allocation During Temporary Impairment (Impairment MOU) establishes that the phrase "Cost
effective water conservation measures that reduce water demands on the transmission system"
as used in Section 2.5 of the Tenth Amended Agreement includes cost effective water
conservation measures, recycled water projects that offset potable water use and standby local
peak month production capacity projects that reduce peak demand on a transmission system
(L /R/T2 measures). Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) plans to budget and distribute
funds to the Water Contractors, Windsor and Marin Municipal Water District for implementing
L /R/T2 measures. By November 1 of each year the parties to the Impairment MOU further
agree that the Water Advisory Committee shall approve and report to the SCWA which projects
are to receive funding support in the subsequent fiscal year's budget. Said approval will not
include the first $15 million for water conservation measures or the $1.3 million in FY 00/01
SCWA budget for recycled water projects which has-already been approved by the Water
Advisory Committee in the Agency's FY 00 -01 Water Transmission System Budget. The Water
Advisory Committee has appointed a subcommittee to review the UR/T2 measures and make
recommendations to the Agency.
GUIDELINES
1. Water Advisory Committee supports the inclusion of $13 million dollars over ten years up
to $2.0 million per year in the Sonoma County Water Agency's Water Transmission
System-budget for the L /R/T2 program.
2. Revenue requirements are to be met through a surcharge to the Water Transmission
System Operations and Maintenance (O &M) rate.
3. Each parry signatory to the Impairment MOU, excluding SCWA, shall be eligible and
allocated a share of the UR/T2 funding proportional for their average annual water
deliver! for three years (FY 98/99 through FY °00/01) divided by the SCWA deliveries to
eYgible parties over the same period (see Table 1). Eligible parties are eligible to
receive the sum of their allocated shares over the life of the UR/T2 program.
4. Eligible parties shall submit proposals for UR/T2 projects to the Chairman of the Water
Advisory Committee by September 30 of each year (for FY 01 -02 contractors shall
submit proposals to the Chair of the Water Advisory Committee by March 1, 2001).
Project duration and funding eligibility may extend over more than one year.
5. By November 1 of each year the UR/T2 subcommittee shall recommend projects to be
approved by the Water Advisory Committee at a regular meeting for funding in the
subsequent fiscal year's budget. Funding shall be made through distribution from the
Water Transmission System O &M fund unless another funding source becomes
available due to execution of a new water supply agreement subsequent to Eleventh
Amended Agreement for Water Supply.
6. SCWA will account for each eligible party's share separately. Project payments by
SCWA will be made only for design, construction, and /or implementation. Payment by
C:1WP511CHRISGSCWA\LRT2 SubcommitteeTEdited Guidelines Oct 2001.doc
SCWA to each eligible party will be made upon receipt of itemized invoices for work
completed on approved projects. Invoices shall be submitted on a quarterly basis.
7. The L/R/T2 Subcommittee shall use the below listed criteria for evaluation of project
measures.
PROJECT EVALUATION CRITERIA:
1. L /R/T2 measures must result in sustained demand reduction in the months June through
September. Recommendations for funding of projects will be based on the most cost -
effective projects being recommended for funding first. Cost effectiveness as
determined by the WAC will be evaluated on a dollar per MGD basis.
2. Projects must be sustainable. Projects to implement a short-term demand curtailment
will not be considered. For local well supply, the sustained capacity is defined as 67% of
the measured yield during a long -term steady state pumping test. Water conservation
programs are those beyond the current California Urban Water Conservation Council
Best Management Practices (BMP's) or those programs listed in the May 1998 SCWA
Draft Water Conservation Plan.
