| 1 | 3.1 | Kelly Farm Mitigation Bank Opportunities | BPU- Agenda Item | KELLY FARM MITIGATION BANK OPPORTUNITIES
The Laguna Treatment Plant (LTP) and many of the city-owned farms are located within the Santa Rosa Plain which is home to endangered species, including the California tiger salamander (CTS), and rare plants, including Sebastopol meadowfoam, Burke’s goldfields, and Sonoma sunshine. When the City undertakes a project located at these facilities, the project needs to be designed to avoid impacts to these sensitive species, or the City needs to purchase mitigation credits from a privately held mitigation bank to offset the impacts. Over the last ten years, the cost of CTS credits has increased. The City has planned projects that may require significant mitigation credits, like the flood wall at LTP. The purchase of mitigation credits can add a large cost to the project and extend the time that it takes to obtain regulatory permits, thus delaying the start of the project. The alternative to purchasing mitigation credits from privately-owned mitigation banks is for the City to establish a mitigation bank for City projects on city-owned property | presented | |

BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa Water (SRW) discovered additional water demand fees (also referred to as capacity fees) have been charged to some multi-family residential developments since the new demand fee structure was approved in August 2014 by Santa Rosa City Council.

SRW staff has identified all multi-family properties that paid dedicated irrigation water demand and irrigation water demand incorporated in the per unit fee, and calculated the correct demand requirement and corresponding dollar amount, and is requesting approval to refund the per unit incorporated irrigation water demand fee charges.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by Santa Rosa Water (SRW) that the Board of Public Utilities, by resolution, recommend that the City Council approve a refund in the tot | approved | Pass |
