PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 8. Presentation of a report detailing infrastructure improvements necessary and cost to extend water and sewer utilities into the unincorporated Happy Valley area Director of Engineering Services Steve Kirkpatrick presented details of the staff report addressing background, two scenarios relative to the water and sewer utility extensions necessary to serve every property in the unincorporated Happy Valley area, cost estimates to construct water and sewer systems, cost estimates per parcel to connect to existing water and sewer, total cost per parcel, and next steps. In response to Councilmember Brown's question regarding Zone 7, Mr. Kirkpatrick reported Zone 7 has not been addressed yet. The study reviewed the City's Water Management Plan, which is in line with availability expectations, Mayor Thorne reported he is on the LAFCo Commission and when the study was reviewed, there was concern regarding the ability to cover everyone. He stated that needs to be part of the background, as well. It was noted that the County has deferred to cities to develop solutions as they have a moratorium on septic tanks and the water has high levels of nitrate in the ground water that can be remedied through filtration but is not ideal. The County wants to find a solution to those problems through annexation or by extending services to the area, without annexation. Mr. Kirkpatrick continued with his presentation. In response to Councilmember Pentin's question, Mr. Kirkpatrick reported that the City was not considering extension of the system when prior users were connected and there is nothing to require them to pay into the extension. It was noted that the pro -rata sewer and water charge to the golf course has been paid, but not the cost associated with extending the water and sewer system. Mr. Kirkpatrick addressed next steps and recommendations. City Council Minutes Page 2 of 4 February 21, 2017
