held February 24, 2015

5. DISCUSSION ITEMS
5.1. Drought Response and Water Conservation Efforts
Mr. Micalizzi described the recent announcement by Governor Brown
calling for greater reductions in water use due to the negligible snow pack
in the Sierras and the fourth year of the drought. Mr. Micalizzi indicated
that the MWD Board will meet on April 14, 2015 and is expected to
approve moving to Stage 2 to Stage 4, calling for 10% to 25% reduction in
the use of MWD water. Mr. Marcantonio described the challenges for
YLWD and its Board to enact the conservation measures that may be
1
called for and to monitor conformance with the measures. Mr. Arrula
suggested that a representative from Golden State Water Company be
asked to attend and participate in the future Joint Committee meetings; he
volunteered to contact GSWC about attending future meetings. It was
also discussed and agreed that representatives from YLWD, GSWC and
perhaps MWDOC would participate in a presentation to the Placentia City
Council on May 5, 2015 to discuss the drought and the water-use
reductions being called for.
5.2. Vehicle and Equipment Sharing
Mr. McConaha handed out a list of current City-owned vehicles and
equipment and Mr. Conklin provided same for the District. Regarding a
potential format for an agreement between the two agencies for vehicle
sharing, Mr. Conklin handed out a copy of the "Articles of Agreement
California Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network WARN 2007
Omnibus Mutual Assistance Agreement." It was agreed that Messrs.
McConaha and Conklin will review that agreement and see if it can be
modified and simplified for our use.
5.3. Status of City of Placentia Sewer Master Plan and Sewer Services
Mr. McConaha reported that the City will be retaining Mr. Rob Hamers to
assist the agency with the preparation of the RFP for the preparation of
the sewer master plan. He estimated that the final master plan will be
complete about one year from now.
5.4. Project Coordination for Planned Street and Pipeline Projects in FY 2015/16
Mr. McConaha provided Mr. Conklin with a CD copy of the City's proposed
Capital Improvement Program for review and information. The purpose of
this exchange and future discussions is to coordinate on projects so that
planned substructure work can be scheduled and completed before
planned paving and other street improvement projects.
5.5. Items for Next Agenda
The Committee requested the same four items for the next agenda with
the addition of Emergency Preparedness Coordination.
