YLWD/CC Joint Advisory Committee Minutes Dec 10, 2018 The YLWD/City Council Joint Advisory Committee approved the minutes of the September 10, 2018 meeting. 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS 6.1 Pending and Recently Chaptered Water Related Legislation General Manager Marc Marcantonio spoke about SB 845, which required that a voluntary tax be placed on water bills essentially making water utilities tax collectors for the State, was defeated. However, it has been resurrected as AB 134, Safe, clean, affordable and accessible drinking water, submitted by Assemblyman Bloom. SB 998, instituting water shut-off prohibitions, was passed by the Legislature but legal challenges are anticipated as it appears to violate Prop. 218. Both of these Bills were opposed by the Yorba Linda Water District and the Association of California Water Agencies. 6.2 State’s Long-term Framework for Indoor/Outdoor Water Use Efficiency General Manager Marcantonio said that the State is determining how individual Water Service Areas’ water budgets will be calculated. He said that new indoor standards are defined, but not outdoor water calculations. Additionally, the State is preparing to issue a statewide water loss standard as required by SB 555, which would have to be achieved by 2020. The Yorba Linda Water District is proactively working to determine how much irrigable space exists for each of the 25,000 parcels it serves. If the State uses a different data set and comes up with outdoor square footage numbers lower than the District’s calculations, it will challenge that data to ensure the District’s water allotment is appropriate. It is still unknown when the State will publish the rules but likely not until fall. An update will be provided as soon as more information is available. Julia Schultz, resident, commented on the 55 gallon per person water restrictions. 6.3 Formation of Community Facilities Districts for Connecting Customers with Septic Tanks to District Wastewater Distribution System General Manager Marcantonio revealed that the Water District has been approached by some residents of the City of Yorba Linda who would like to consider the possibility of forming a Community Facilities District to allow conversion of septic tanks to sewers, using the bonding approach to repay costs on their property taxes. The matter will be discussed further at the Water Board meeting tomorrow. YLWD/CC Joint Advisory Committee Minutes Dec 10, 2018 John Koehler, resident, said he lives on a cul-de-sac of six homes where five of the homes are on septic tanks. Councilmember Gene Hernandez recommended that Public Works Director/City Engineer Max Maximous support the Water District in its efforts to implement Community Facilities Districts. 6.4 Future Meeting Date and Agenda Items The Committee agreed to meet again on Monday, March 11, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. No additional items for the next Agenda were discussed. 7. ADJOURNMENT 7.1 Assistant City Manager Dave Christian adjourned the meeting at 5:12 p.m. to the next Yorba Linda Water District/City of Yorba Linda Joint Agency Committee meeting on Monday, March 11, 2019 at 4:00 p.m.
