INFORMATION:
The purpose for developing the Principles of Sound Water Management - Water Policies Chapter to the Utilities Integrated Master Plan is to provide the fundamental principles and guidelines for how the Utilities Division achieves the goals and objectives outlined by City Council and upper City Management. The objectives of these policies are to preserve the publics39;s trust in our water, wastewater and stormwater systems, guide strategic long-term planning and demonstrate leadership in the stewardship of our limited natural resources. Staff has worked with the Water Commission to define the concepts and agreed upon the language for each policy. At their November 15, 2012 Commission meeting, they approved the attached document and recommended staff to bring the policies forward to City Council for your consideration and adoption. Staff has been working with City Council since November 2012 to obtain your input and guidance. Three documents are attached: a red-lined version of the Water Commission's 2012 policy document that contains all of City Council's proposed additions and comments to date; staff power point presentation to help guide the conversation; and an IGA between the City & County that outlines septage services that was executed in 1989.
