BACKGROUND On August 22, 2002, the City of Livermore and the Dublin San Ramon Services District (DSRSD) entered into the Tri-Valley Water Retailers Cooperation Agreement. On April 1 , 2003 the City of Pleasanton executed the Agreement; followed by the California Water Service Company (Cal Water) on September 27, 2003 (these four parties are collectively referred to as the "Retailers"). The purpose of the Agreement was to "influence Zone 7 decisions that assure there will be adequate supplies to meet demands in the future." This task has been successfully carried out by the Retailers, which now find that this purpose can be more efficiently achieved with the Retailers working together with Zone 7 Water Agency. On April 11, 2013 The Committee of Valley Water Retailers held its annual meeting at Dublin San Ramon Services District offices. The last agenda item considered by the elected representatives at the meeting was to sunset the COVWR committee and to move forward with a joint liaison committee consisting of all the retailers and Zone 7 as part of the regular liaison group. Councilmember Cooke-Kallio and Councilmember Jerry F'entin represented Pleasanton at the meeting and the recommendation to sunset COVWR was unanimous. The City of Livermore's City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-100, terminating participation from the Agreement on July 23, 2013. DSRSD adopted Resolution No. 27- 13 authorizing the General Manager to withdraw from the Agreement on August 21, 2013. Additionally, Cal Water sent notification on August 30, 2013 that the Livermore District of Cal Water intends to withdraw from the Agreement. DISCUSSION The Retailers intend to meet jointly with Zone 7 on a regular basis as a Joint Liaison Committee to discuss issues of common interest associated with water supply, water quality, infrastructure and finances. Additionally, Retailer staff members will continue to meet on a regular basis to discuss issues of mutual interest.
