, <br /> Councilmember Pentin asked and Ms. Wagner confirmed that staff does not anticipate a reduction in <br /> the number of golf rounds played, despite the impacts of the drought. Ms. Wagner stressed that <br /> Callippe Golf Course is being fairly well maintained with the use of recycled water and that staff is <br /> strategically watering greens and fairways while allowing other areas to brown. <br /> Councilmember Brown said it is interesting that the effort to conserve water actually ends up costing <br /> the city more. She asked and Ms. Wagner confirmed that the new position, a water <br /> conservation/recycled water technician, is in addition to the contract services approved under Item 5. <br /> Ms. Wagner clarified that the personnel increase is for an additional city employee whereas the contract <br /> agent will be paid for by recycled water surcharge revenues set aside for design and project <br /> management of the city's recycled water infrastructure. <br /> Councilmember Narum asked if staff has looked at the fiscal impact of the drought, specifically whether <br /> the drought is actually costing the city money. <br /> Ms. Wagner explained that the General Fund, as a water utility customer, experienced about a <br /> $300,000 decrease in water and sewer costs. The Water Fund however, has increased costs related to <br /> education and advertising. <br /> Mayor Thorne asked if$80,000 is an appropriate cost for the city's website development <br /> Mr. Fialho said the project was put out to bid and that the preferred vendor's bid was cost competitive. <br /> He stressed that a web development project of this magnitude is incredibly laborious and requires both <br /> the time and expertise that city staff does not have. <br /> Vice-Mayor Pentin said that in his experience it is a pretty fair price. <br /> Mayor Thome noted there were not speakers to address this item. <br /> MOTION: It was m/s by Pentin/Cook-Kallio to waive full reading and adopt Resolution No. 14-698 <br /> accepting the 2014/15FY Mid-Term Operating Budget. Motion passed by the following vote: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers Brown, Cook-Kallio, Narum, Pentin, Mayor Throne <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> (B) Consider a resolution approving the Mid-Term Capital Improvement Program for the Fiscal <br /> Years 2014-2015 through 2016-2017 <br /> Mr. Bocian presented the Mid-Term CIP spanning the 2014/15 to 2016/17 Fiscal Year period. While the <br /> mid-term review does not necessarily look to reprioritize projects, staff has recommended the addition <br /> of three new projects: a phase of the traffic calming project on Black Avenue, design work for two new <br /> tennis courts at Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park, and design work for recycled water <br /> infrastructure. <br /> CIP revenues remain generally flat with the exception of a fairly significant increase in development <br /> impact fee revenues. He presented several slides reviewing financial resources over the course of CIP, <br /> noting both the increase in development impact fees and an increase in in-lieu park dedication fees <br /> resulting from the recently approved multi-family residential housing project. He also noted that <br /> projected revenues significantly outpace projected expenditures and explained that development <br /> related revenue for larger projects is not actually folded into the expenditure plan until it is received. <br /> City Council Minutes Page 7 of 14 June 17,2014 <br />
