Title: REPORT - SANTA ROSA WATER FUND-TO-FUND LOAN APPROVAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING AGRICULTURAL LAND LOCATED AT 7630-7650 LAKEVILLE HIGHWAY, PETALUMA, FOR BIOSOLID APPLICATION BACKGROUND: The Water Department uses a variety of methods to dispose of biosolids generated from wastewater processing. Agricultural land for biosolid application is needed due to limited dispersal areas to protect the California Tiger Salamander, increasingly stringent organic diversion from landfills, and biosolid exclusions from certified organic family operations. Approximately 235 acres of land is available for purchase situated within Sonoma County in an already approved area for biosolid application. In order to proceed with the acquisition, approval of a fund-to-fund loan from the Local Wastewater Utility Fund to the Subregional Waste Operations Fund for up to $2.1 million is needed. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public Utilities and the Subregional Partners as well as the Water and Finance Departments that the Council, by resolution, approve a Santa Rosa Water fund-to-fund l

Title: REPORT - AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION NO. 28718 REGARDING WASTEWATER FIXED MONTHLY CHARGES TO EXISTING COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL/MULTI-FAMILY PROPERTIES BACKGROUND: In 2015, a five-year rate plan for water and wastewater rates was approved by the Santa Rosa City Council via Resolution No. 28718 with an effective date of January 1, 2016. Following the adoption and implementation of the revised rates, an administrative issue was identified related to the wastewater fixed monthly charge applied to commercial/industrial/multifamily properties that have larger sized meters to address fire flow requirements. Amending Resolution No. 28718 provides the Director of Water with the authority to reduce the wastewater fixed monthly charge applied to the account(s) that have larger sized meters to address fire flow requirements. There are four known accounts that can benefit from this amendment, resulting in an estimated annual loss of revenue of $7,300.00 to the Wastewater Enterprise. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public Utilities and the Water Department that the City Council
