The YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee approve the minutes of the June 17, 2019 meeting. 6.DISCUSSION ITEMS 6.1 Pending and Recently Chaptered Water Related Legislation General Manager Marc Marcantonio updated the Committee about recent legislation including SB 1, SB 134, AB 756 and the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) proposed Amended Rule 1403 regarding asbestos emissions from Demolition/Renovation Activities. Councilman Carlos Rodriguez thanked Mr. Marcantonio for actively working with SCAQMD on the asbestos issue and asked how the City could lend a hand. General Manager Marcantonio responded that this issue should concern every city and organizations such as ACC-OC, and that he would keep the Committee informed of their progress. 6.2 Strategies for Addressing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) General Manager Marcantonio discussed PFAS and reviewed the three primary treatment methods for removing them from drinking water. He said the District is continuing to research each treatment method and how to integrate the methods into their groundwater delivery to protect public health at the least risk and cost. 6.3 Formation of Sewer Assessment/Community Facilities Districts General Manager Marcantonio stated that the District has approximately 625 parcels that are not on sewer service, and some of these property owners have inquired about forming Community Facility Districts to help finance a conversion from a septic system to the sanitary sewer system. Brett Barbre, Assistant General Manager, clarified that over 600 parcels are in the City of Yorba Linda, primarily in the Kellogg West area. Councilman Rodriguez inquired about the number of interested property owners. He also asked if there was a minimum number of neighbors required to participate in converting their septic to sewer. Rosanne Weston, Engineering Manager, responded that the District has been advised by their consultant to begin with two pilot projects for Sandra Drive and Danita Lane, since these property owners have expressed YLWD/CC Joint Advisory Committee Minutes September 16, 2019 Page 3 of 3 interest. Ms. Weston said they do not require 100% participation from the whole street, but this would be preferable. It is also preferable to include a greater number of participants in a Community Facilities District to reduce the administrative costs for each property owner. John Koeller, resident on Sandra Drive, stated his interest as well as his neighbors’, in the District’s Community Facilities District Program. 6.4 Future Meeting Date and Agenda Items The Committee agreed to meet again on Monday, December 16th at 3:00 p.m. No additional items for the next Agenda were discussed. 7.ADJOURNMENT 7.1 City Manager Mark Pulone adjourned the meeting at 4:56 p.m. to the next Yorba Linda Water District/City Council Joint Advisory Committee meeting on Monday, December 16, 2019 at 3:00 p.m.
