westerly of Foothill Road, including the replacement of an existing 20,000 gallon water tank, pumps, and mechanical and electrical controls. The amount currently appropriated to the project account (CIP 991035), $2,128,198.70, is funded from the Water Replacement fund. It is proposed that the additional amount necessary to complete the project, $400,000, be transferred from Project 011014, Santos Ranch, Pleasanton Ridge and Kilkare Water Transmission Main Replacement (reserve), also funded by the Water Replacement fund. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND The Santos Ranch Pump Station Project (CIP No. 991035) includes the reconstruction of three water-booster pumping stations located along Santos Ranch Road westerly of Foothill Road. All three pump stations (including associated water tanks, pumps, piping and electrical equipment) were constructed in 1964 by the then existing Pleasanton Township County Water District (PTCWD). The District sold bonds in order to generate funds to construct these pump station improvements and the property owners whose properties' benefited from the improvements, paid the assessments. In 1972, the PTCWD was dissolved and the City of Pleasanton agreed to assume the obligations of the District. Accordingly, the District's facilities, including the pumps and the waterlines, became the property of the City. The City has operated, maintained and made minor improvements to each pump station since 1972, including adding the wooden buildings that protect the pump station components in 1988. However, these pump stations are now approximately 40 years old, and the vast majority of the pump station components and buildings are at the end of their useful life. At the time assets of the PTCWD were taken over by the City in 1972, Assessment District funds were set aside for the construction of an additional road in the Pleasanton Ridge area. Since that road was never built, the remaining Assessment District funds were never spent. The City has agreed, however, that since these Assessment District funds were set aside for roadway improvements, they were to be used for the maintenance of Santos Ranch Roadway improvements only, not the replacement or repair of the water system. Water system repairs and replacement were programmed into the City's Water Replacement fund account as described below. In 1997, the City hired a consulting engineering firm specializing in water system facility design to evaluate the existing water facilities constructed by the PTCWD on Santos Ranch Road, along Pleasanton Ridge and Kilkare Road. These facilities serve approximately 300 properties within and outside the City limits. The facilities include three booster pump SR 06:006 Page 2 of5
