Agenda Item 14 – Approve agreement between City of Pleasanton and Zone 7 Water Agency to perform Phase I Feasibility Review for the Regional Groundwater Facilities Project 1. There has been discussion in the community by some water geologists questioning our direction, due to the likelihood of PFAS migration. Can you please comment on this agenda item in light of this discussion on the topic. A: The goal of Phase I of the Regional Groundwater Project is to investigate the feasibility of constructing new groundwater facilities that increase Zone 7’s groundwater production capacity and drought resiliency for the overall Tri-Valley region. This phase aims to recover the use of the City’s groundwater production capacity and produce water that meets and exceeds all State and federal water quality standards, including those for Per and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Current testing and modeling analysis suggests that the Bernal subbasin, located within the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin, is outside the existing PFAS plume, making it a worthwhile location for investigation. The feasibility study will evaluate whether new groundwater facilities can produce water of sufficient yield and quality to meet the project’s goals. It will also recommend necessary improvements and estimate capital and O&M costs for implementation. In addition to Zone 7’s role as a wholesale water supplier, the agency is the exclusive Groundwater Sustainability Agency for the Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin and is responsible for compliance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014 (SGMA). Zone 7 will utilize their groundwater model during the feasibility phase to evaluate impacts on the sustainability of the groundwater basin, including PFAS plume management. These findings will be incorporated into the project recommendations. The project will only proceed to implementation if the feasibility study shows that the recommended project cost-effectively meets the desired goals and Zone 7 determines the project is compliant with SGMA. Agenda Item 15 – Approve three-year trash collection maintenance services agreement with Universal Site Services, Inc., in the not-to-exceed contract amount of $527,048 with the option to extend two additional one-year extensions 1. How much $ was the prior contract? A. The contract amount for FY24 is $153,324, and we anticipate spending $137,000 for FY24. Public Hearings and Other Matters Agenda Item 20 – Receive a report outlining polling results, draft ballot measure language, and other considerations related to a local sales tax ballot measure 1. What would be the city’s plan to demonstrate that additional revenue is spent locally and to perform the expenditure reports and audits? A. Legally, the state and other agencies are not allowed to take the funding away, so revenues would stay in Pleasanton to support essential City
