POSTED: .May 10, 1996 I: WBMYI Md Fd ~ 1o, lee~ MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE WATER BOARD - CITY OF BAKERSFIELD Held Wednesday, March 13, 1996, Water Resources Conference Room, 1000 Buena Vista Road, Bakersfield, CA 93311. 1. -The meeting was called to order by Boardmember Salvaggio at 4:35p.m. 2. Present: Mark Salvaggio, Chair Patricia M. Smith Absent: Randy Rowles, Vice-Chair 3. Boardmember Smith made a motion to approve the minutes of the Workshop and Special Water Board Meeting held January 17, 1996. Motion carried. 4. There were no Public Statements. 5. Correspondence 5A. A letter from Olcese Water District regarding a long-term water exchange agreement was presented before the Board by Mr. Bogart. Water staff has been meeting with the Olcese Water District Board members and their staff to discuss the role of Olcese and the City of Bakersfield in the future development of the northeast area. An agreement was drafted by staff which would have mutual benefits to both sides. A mutual commitment City provided was expected between the City and Olcese in order to firm up the lower river water rights, available to City residents living within the Olcese District boundaries. In exchange, Olcese would be able to utilize City canal facilities and exchange opportunities to assure a water supply to the Olcese area at reduced costs. The draft agreement was changed by Olcese to the point that it is not currently workable. The existing agreements and water exchange arrangements the City has with the water district will not terminate until the year 2012, so some time will be necessary before we revisit the existing Agreement with Olcese Water District. 5B. The letter from the Kern River Levee District concerning the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher was presented by Mr. Core for information. The Levee Board passed a resolution in support of City Resolution No. 96-01 W.B. regarding the operation of Isabella Dam and reservoir. Mr. Core brought the Board up to date on the activities concerning the SSWF and Isabella Reservoir. At the last meeting City Water staff reported that the Kern River would be less than normal with a storage reservoir not above 300,000 acre-feet, but recent storm activities have changed conditions considerably. The area that was used by the Flycatcher has been inundated, but when the Flycatcher returns in May other areas are available to nest. The City has been involved with the Watermaster group working on various plans and incurred some additional expenses which exceeded the previously authorized amount. Mr. Core informed the Board of additional costs that will be incurred this year regarding this program and indicated these will be brought back for Board review at a later date. No action required or taken by the Board. !. 6. Deferred Business 6A. The Kern River Operations update was presented by Mr. Bogart for information. Staff ..... originally forecasted about 510,000 acre-feet storage maximum at Isabella. A revised ~ estimate of 550,000 acre-feet will almost fill the reservoir this year. The runoff forecast, with the latest storm activities, is about 127% of normal. There will be heavy spreading operations this year from all water projects including State and Federal canals. When the construction on the bridge at Highway 99 and the Kern River is completed water will start moving in much larger volumes down the river again. 7. New Business 7A. Mr. Core presented an Invitation for Proposals to provide water service to a Northeast Bakersfield tentative tract. A letter was received from a landowner who wants to develop this tract into approximately 2,000 residential lots, but the tract is not within an organized water district. The developer has requested that the City of Bakersfield secure a water supply for this development. Before a water supply can be made available, the City must know who will provide water service to the new residents in this area and if an adequate supply of water is available. The City is willing to lend their support by means of its surface water supplies regulated through the 2800 Acres for this project. California Water Service Company and Olcese Water District have facilities near this property, and East Niles Community Services District operates in the vicinity. A study of the entire Northeast Water Supply is underway and staff feels there should be a system which can be integrated into the overall plan of the Northeast Bakersfield Water Supply Project for the orderly growth of the area. An Invitation for Proposal has been prepared by staff as an effort to see what interest the adjacent purveyors might have in serving this area. Since the City was contacted to .... provide a water supply to this area, staff is asking the Board for approval to send Invitations for Proposals to qualified retail domestic water purveyors. A motion was made by Boardmember Smith for staff to proceed in sending the Invitations for Proposal to the interested domestic water service purveyors. Motion carried. 8. Closed Session Boardmember Salvaggio adjourned the meeting to Closed Session at 4:55pm. Boardmember Salvaggio reconvened the meeting at 5:10pm. Closed session action. Update from legal counsel, no action taken. 9. The meeting adjourned at 5:llpm.

U N T Y Mr. Gene Bogart ~ April 10, 1996 City of Bakersfield 1000 Buena Vista Rd. Bakersfield, CA 93311 Dear Mr. Bogart: The Water Association of Kern County, in conjunction with the Kern County Water Agency and urban water purveyors will be sponsoring a major media public awareness campaign for 1996. This campaign will focus attention on major legislative and regulatory events of 1995 and 1996, especially in relation to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and the impacts they will have on our economy. It is imperative that the citizens of Kern County be made aware of the consequences of these decisions, as they · will ultimately affect every homeowner, business owner, and every taxpayer. We need to stress the importance of our ability to maintain Kern County's economic base, which is based on a reliable water supply. In light of the CALFED process and Senator Jim Costa's SBgOO, we need to inform the public about long-term water supply issues, upon which they will be asked to vote. With a public information campaign such as that provided by your Water Association, we have an opportunity to inform the public about the Delta, CALFED and SB900. Our program has been successful because of the excellent support we have had from water districts and urban water companies, and local businesses. Therefore, we are requesting a contribution of $750.00 from each district to help support this campaign, of course any amount is appreciated. Together we can be successful. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, APR 1 2 1996 Dana S.

Feeney, VP,CFO & Treasurer California Water Service Co. 1720 North First Street P.O. Box 1150 San Jose, CA 95108 RE: INCREASED COMPENSATION UNDER CITY/CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE CO. CONTRACT AGREEMENT bio 92-250 Dear Mr. Feeney: Your request for additional compensation for your increased costs to operate the City of Bakersfield Domestic Water System have been reviewed by City staff. The California Water Service Company letter of April 3, 1996 indicated extra expenses have been and will continue to be experienced by Cai-Water due to costs unforeseen in the current contract to disinfect the water supply. City staff maintain that the existing service contract provides for Cai-Water to assume costs for chemical purchases and labor to provide "water treating or disinfection operation" (Section 1.(a)) and that "Other services Company will perform are to pay all operation and maintenance expenses except as noted in ¶#5 herein" (Section 1.(e)), with ¶#5 silent to chemical or disinfection materials expenses. City staff also recognizes that complete disinfection of the water supply system was not envisioned at the time of the execution of the existing contract in 1992 and due to stricter regulations by EPA and the State Health Department, full disinfection of the system has become a requirement within the last two years. Your supplied information and documentation of increased costs due to the operation and maintenance of the chlorine injection process has been evaluated by City staff. The quantities of disinfection materials appear to be in-line with estimates generated by experience the previous year and the allocated labor costs seem to be appropriate. The City will consider an additional increase in the monthly fee from the current $7.09 per service per month to $7.18. This increased rate of compensation is allowed under the current contract/agreement without further negotiations, however, this item will be brought before 1000 BUENA VISTA ROAD * BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93311 * (805) 326-3715 page 2 our Water Board at the May 15t~, 1996 meeting for Board information and direction. If our Board concurs with staff recommendation, the increased compensation to Cai-Water may start with the June, 1996 (May operations) billing to the City. Please contact me or the staff at the Water Resources office, if you have questions or comments.

As to the deliquency on the De La Rosa account with the City, you have developed a plan whereby the deliquent funds, in the amount of $17,824.73, will be paid City. On this basis, once the payment is secured by City, lands owned by North of the River Sanitary District and located within the KRC&I Co. will become eligible for water delivery service. As we have previously stated, City has commenced with collection procedures on De La Rosa Farms. In the event City is successful in procuring payment from De La Rosa, said procurement will be refunded to North of the River Sanitary District in amounts not to exceed $17,824.73.. Enclosed for your action is the "1996 Water Service Agreement" under which water deliveries may be provided this year. Your prompt response to this matter has been greatly appreciated.

The appropriate fees for use of those facilities are part of the agreement and City obtains a next right of refusal to use Pioneer Project facilities when capacity is available. o This agreement does change or amend existing agreements for use of the "2800 Acres", but is supplemental to existing agreement. o Banking operations in the Kern River channel shall not diminish or interfere with pre-existing ID#4 spreading operations and ID#4 spreading shall not be considered banked within ID#4 boundaries. o City and Pioneer Participants KCWA agree operate respective projects to maintain hydraulic gradient which slopes away from Kern River channel. To help achieve this goal, 20% of flows destined for the Pioneer Project are to be diverted and spread within "2800 Acres", when it would otherwise be dry. o The project shall be operated in such a manner to maintain and enhance the quality of groundwater in the basin underlying the Project area. Recharge priority shall be given to the purest or highest quality water. Pioneer Participants agree to extract the lowest quality water out first where practicable. ,All parties attempt to control migration of poor quality waters. No spreading or recharge in contaminated areas. Kern River waters will be recharged as high on the Kern River Fan as possible. There is no "in-lieu" banking on the Pioneer Project properties, all banked water is to be delivered and percolated on properties. o A coordinated extraction plan will be developed that allows maximum recovery capability with minimum adverse impacts on existing operations; expand recovery area, provide buffer areas, limit recovery rates, provide adequate well spacing, adjust pumping rates, and impose time restrictions between recharge and extraction. o Recharge losses will be applied to all water spread at the rate of 6% of water diverted. ,An additional 5% assessed for out-of-county sales or transfers. ,All losses are non-bankable or recoverable.' o The benefit of normal, natural and unavoidable losses of Kern River water or other native water in the Kern River Channel may not be claimed as banked or recoverable. o Friant-Kern flood releases to the Kern River channel near Coffee Road shall be used to wet the Kern River channel to the Kern River/SWP Intertie without any sort of banking, then all other off-stream projects may take this water in accordance to historical diversion priorities. o City shall be central coordinatorfor all waters scheduled for use in all City facilities inclUding the Kern River channel. City will provide recordkeeping services for all points of diversion from the Kern River channel.
