KERN RIVER LEVEE DISTRICT A. FEMA Recertification of Kern River Saith Levee Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager, gave a brief update regarding the Kern RiverSouth Levee, which is underthe supervision of the City of Bakersfield Water Resources Department. The Kern River North Levee is mainly the Cross Valley Canal and is operated and maintained by the Kern County Water Agency. Both the north and south Kern River Levees are going through the same FEMA recertification process. Mr. Chianello stated FEMA has been working on updating the 100 year flood map information and requested verification of the integrity of the levee that it would still contain a 100 year flood event within the river channel. Staff has been working with FEMA since 2011 regarding the recertification of the Kern RiverSouth Levee. Maps, water model analysis, and geotechnical information as to the 100 year strength of the levee were submitted to FEMA. Bakersfield, California, October 21, 2015 - Page 2 5. KERN RIVER LEVEE DISTRICT A. A letter was received from FEMA stating the review process is complete. FEMA will continue to deem the levee as certified and continue to accredit the levee for the next flood insurance rate map update. Changes are not expected on the insurance flood rate. Information only, no action taken. 6. REPORTS A. Kern River & Isabella Reservoir Operations Report John Ryan, Hydrographic Supervisor, stated the new water year brings new storm activity. Current operations at Isabella: current storage is at 30,510 acre feet, a plus of 317 acre feet above October 1 St. The operation of the river is still at natural flow. The October l It natural flow was at 71 second feet and has doubled to 173 second feet, and will be smoothed out to approximately 150 second feet. We are very hopeful that the numberwill go up and that we get more storm activity. Information only, no action taken. B. Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area Jason Meadors, Water Resources Director, provided the monthly usage for the months of August and September2015. The domestic water service area had a reduction of 32% for August over 2013; and a reduction of 29% for September over 2013. The September cumulative water usage is at 31.5 %. The summer months are ending and it will be harder to achieve the cumulative reduction. We are not hitting the 36% targetset by the state. We are still hopeful everyone will continue to cut back on water usage; there is still some work to do. Mr. Meadors stated it is going to be very difficult to achieve because of the cooling off period approaching. Information only, no action taken. Maxwell asked if other agencies, in the same category as the City of Bakersfield, are reaching the 36 %reduction. Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager, stated staff will provide information regarding how many agencies are in the 36% reduction tier and how many agencies are meeting that target at the next meeting 7.

(Wards 1 through 7) RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Water Board approval of agreement and recommendation to forward to the City Council for approval. BACKGROUND: The City of Bakersfield and its predecessors have participated in the Kern River Weather Modification Program (KRWMP) for nearly fifty years. The main objectives of the "cloud seeding" program or effort is to increase the overall water yield of the Kern River by "targeting" precipitation to occur in the snow shed above Lake Isabella. This program is jointly funded by several local agencies with interest in the levels of precipitation within Kern River Basin. Each of the participants of this program believes it has proven to be successful over the years. The results from various fundamental and statistical ongoing studies strongly indicate that increases in precipitation within the range of 5 -15% have been achieved from properly designed and operated cloud seeding programs. Prominent among these studies has been those focused on orographic wintertime clouds, particularly the programs over the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. The participants in this local program include the City of Bakersfield, North Kern Water Storage District, Kern Delta Water District and Buena Vista Water Storage District. Under current arrangements, NKWSD (lead agency) has entered into an agreement with RHS Consulting, Ltd. (Contractor), to carry out and supervise the Weather Modification Program for an estimated amount not to exceed Two Hundred Seventeen Thousand Six hundred Thirty -eight Dollars ($217,638). The shared cost for each participant is twenty -five percent (25 %) of the total costs of the program not to exceed Fifty -Four Thousand Four Hundred Nine Dollars and Fifty cents ($ 54,409.50). The purpose of the reimbursement agreement with NKWSD enables the City to be a 25% participant in the weather modification program. Funding for this agreement is included in the Water Resources Department FY 2015 -2016 operating budget. There will be no General Fund dollars spent on this program. i. • AGREEMENT NO.
