c. When LAVWMA and EBDA have developed proposals, a joint team from EDAB and the Tri-Valley Business Council would serve as facilitator to the two agencies in developing an agreement. EDAC also requests the City Council keep EDAC involved in reviewing and commenting on proposals. 2. The current condition of the LAVWMA pipeline is a public safety issue. Repairs to the most critical 6,000-foot section of the pipeline should be sized as a 71 mgd line, with the inflow and outflow maintained at the current capacity. 3. Encourage LAVWMA staff to complete their alternatives study as soon as possible, and request the study include a full review of institutional barriers to implementation of the various alternatives. 4. If urban limit lines become part of the comprehensive solution, they should be adopted with a sensible amendment process and contain sufficient flexibility in their application to be able to respond to changed economic circumstances. The eventual wastewater solution should not set Pleasanton's land use policies. The solution should create long term capacity so that Pleasanton has the ability to implement a reasoned land use policy over the next 20 to 30 years. 5. Direct the City Attorney to review and evaluate the agreements, as amended, between DSRSD and Pleasanton so that the Council can understand the impact on Pleasanton of any unilateral actions that may be taken by DSRSD and EBDA and its member agencies. Furthermore, the staff should evaluate the impacts on Pleasanton's economic competitive position if DSRSD and Livermore obtain solutions to their wastewater capacity needs independent of a comprehensive LAVWMA agreement. If this evaluation shows there to be a negative impact, then a further evaluation must be performed to identify alternatives for Pleasanton independent of the LAVWMA/EBDA agreement. 6. If the final agreement includes a cap on influent to the LAVWMA member plants, then the cap should not apply to treated effluent that is used for the irrigation of public places. Nor should it apply to emergency discharge procedures for business developments that establish water reuse capability for their manufacturing processes. However, we strongly recommend that any cap that is negotiated be on the effluent so as to encourage the use of modern treatment technology to increase our overall available water supply. 2
