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