DISCUSSION Staff from the Agencies have developed the following framework that outlines the key roles and responsibilities for each agency to operate the Temporary Joint Residential Recycled Water Fill Station during periods of mandatory water conservation and is detailed in the attached Agreement. The main points of the Agreement are described below: 1) Collaboration. DSRSD, Livermore, and Pleasanton collaboration on the development and operation of the Fill Station, to be operational by April 1, 2022, if mandatory irrigation restrictions are in effect for the Tri-Valley in 2022. 2) Site. DSRSD is making available its property located at 5287 Gleason Drive in Dublin available at no cost as the site for the Fill Station for a period of five years, and only during periods of mandatory potable water conservation. DSRSD is responsible for all project development, including plans, environmental review, city permits, and state agency permits for operation of the Fill Station. DSRSD is responsible for having recycled water improvements (plumbing) installed, either through an on-call contract, or by soliciting bids. Pleasanton is responsible for installing surface improvements (pavement, striping, signage, storm mitigation, and driveways). 3) Term. The Fill Station is planned and designed for temporary operation from January 1, 2022 through December 21, 2027. Operations of the Fill Station would only occur if mandatory restrictions on the use of potable water for irrigation are implemented in the Tri-Valley during this period. 4) Staffing. Livermore is responsible for hiring and providing temporary employees to staff the Fill Station. DSRSD would be responsible for training of staff at the Fill Station. 5) Cost-sharing. The estimated site improvements at the Gleason Property would be funded equally by DSRSD, Livermore, and Pleasanton. Project development and construction costs are estimated at $1 million. In addition to estimated project development costs, the annual joint operating costs, which include recycled water treatment and labor costs, are estimated at $300,000. These costs could be partially reimbursed by the fee program (described below). 6) Program fee. The Agencies have jointly developed a cost recovery fee program. The purchase of a "season pass" program fee for $100, will be facilitated by Pleasanton. Tri-Valley residents can purchase a "season pass" online, by phone, or in-person at the City of Pleasanton Operations Service Center. Purchasing a "season pass" would allows users an unlimited amount of recycled water during the Fill Station's operational period of April through October. Revenue collected would be used to partially offset program costs, and would be shared equitably by DSRSD, Livermore, and Pleasanton. The Agencies shall meet and confer annually on the amount of the Program Fee. Page 4 of 5
