Title: REPORT - APPROPRIATION OF ADDITIONAL CELL TOWER LEASE REVENUES FOR THE HELP 2 OTHERS PROGRAM BACKGROUND: Telecommunication companies lease space on some of Santa Rosa Water’s water storage tanks for their cell towers. The revenues from these lease payments fund Santa Rosa Water’s Help 2 Others (H2O) program, which offers water bill assistance to qualifying residential customers in the form of subsidies for the fixed portion of both water and sewer bills. The Water Department is seeking a recommendation from the Board of Public Utilities that City Council approve the appropriation of $406,993.91 of additional cell tower lease revenues that are currently in undesignated fund balance. The appropriation would go directly to funding water and sewer subsidies for qualifying customers in the H2O program. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water that the Board of Public Utilities, by motion, recommend that City Council approve the appropriation of additional cell tower lease revenues in the amount of $406,993.91 from fund balance for expenditure in the Help 2 Others (H2O) prog

Title: REPORT - WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS AND SOLE SOURCE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ENTHALPY ANALYTICAL FOR ANALYTICAL SERVICES BACKGROUND: The Laguna Environmental Laboratory (LEL) may need support from third party laboratories to handle increased workload, meet tight project deadlines, or access specialized testing capabilities that are not available in the LEL. The LEL does not have the instruments or the certifications to test for PFAS compounds and this contract is necessary to meet the testing requirements in analyzing PFAS compounds. Enthalpy is the only local laboratory that has the instruments and certifications to analyze samples for PFAS compounds.
