As a result, City staff engaged the Council Liaison Committees (both the City/Zone 7 Liaison Committee and the City/DSRSD Liaison Committee) in an effort to elevate this matter to a policy level. That effort was successful, as the decision on the Well Master Plan was postponed and a joint meeting involving members of the Pleasanton City Council, DSRSD Board and Zone 7 Board was held on May 13, 2005. The May 13, 2005 Joint Meeting The purpose of the May 13 joint meeting, was to discuss mutual concerns about the taste, odor, and hardness of the water received by customers of all three agencies. All elected officials present expressed a shared desire to take action to improve the taste of the water, and to reduce its odor and hardness. The staffs of the three agencies were directed to meet to see if a "road map" could be developed that would address these issues more meaningfully. In the interim, Zone 7 agreed that it would postpone action on the Well Master Plan and EIR until August. It felt that it could not wait beyond that time in order that an adequate supply of water be available in case of another drought or other event, by which its entitlement from the State water supply would be curtailed. Events Since May 13, 2005 Following that meeting, there were several staff level meetings. What was developed from these meeting is the attached Joint Resolution, a set of Policy Principles, and two mitigation measures that have been added to Zone 7's Well Master Plan Final EIR. All of these documents require Zone 7, the City of Pleasanton and DSRSD to work together to identify projects and activities that Zone 7 could realistically undertake in order to meet the Zone's adopted Water Quality Policy Goals and improve delivered water quality throughout the Zone 7 service area. The August 1, 2005 Meeting The salient points of both the Joint Resolution and the Policy Principles were discussed at a second joint meeting held on August 1, 2005. After some minor changes (all of which have been incorporated in the attached final documents) to these two documents, the twelve elected officials in attendance, representing the City, DSRSD and Zone 7, unanimously approved taking the Joint Resolution and Policy Principles back to their respective elected Boards and City Council for final approval and ratification.
