about the limits to influcnt, about the use of RO for irrigation versus the use of RO to increase capacity and about how capacity would be expanded in the future. He is hopeful that DSRSD will tell LAVWMA if there is something that it can identify beside philosophy that is causing it the greatest amount of discomfort. DSRSD thinks we are controlling it by limiting infiuent. There is something driving DSRSD not to want to see infiuent measured and he thought that was the Dougherty Valley project because DSRSD is obtaining water from Berrenda Mesa to serve Dougherty Valley. He assumes D.qRSD would also sewer it because DSRSD has stated it needs to buy as much sewer capacity as it can to provide the recycled water that is in demand. He wants DSRSD to say it will be able to handle the Dougherty Valley and not come back and say the issue is control, not being dictated to and that DSRSD can't give away its fight to be a service agency. Livermore hasn't taken an official position on these issues that he knew of. He does not care about the traffic mitigation issue. He shares the concerns of the other agencies and Hayward needs to specify how it will use the money and what the nexus is. Livermore wants definite urban limit lines and Pleasanton has the same feeling. A sunset provision was acceptable if the agreement can provide a vision of what the future will be for the next twenty years or have something that provides the community with an assurance of what will be there in the future. Ms. Michelotti asked the Mayor to clarify his comments about the sunset provision. Mayor Tarvet replied it means a date when the limitations of the agreement cease. He felt there is a natural sunset in 2020 when BBDA ceases to exist. Ms. Michelotfi clarified that the sunset date might bca point of compromise. Mayor Tarvet said a date is not set. Hc mentioned the year 2020 because BBDA ceases to exist and it is natural to say when that happens other things go away. Maybe someone will want to cut the date back fifteen years but that is negotiable. If it can bc worked out, fine. Ms. Michelotfi stated that the meeting with BBDA/LAVWMA was fruitful in that it opened the door for rcncgotiations. She felt hopeful that it might be able to get something going again. The representative from Hayward seemed to feel that the only ar~ of compromise was on the infiuent limitation as it related to recycling. DSRSD opposes urban limit lines because of growth control. Hayward seemed to say it will accept reasonable things but it was peinted out that the urban limit line levels were being driven by Pleasanton. On the recycling she would like some discussion since it seemed like it tries to take advantage of advanced technology. One point brought up through the Economic Development Advisory Committee was to use that water for landscaping. Mayor Tarvet stated that the issue goes beyond recycling. He hasn't heard a single agency say it would mind if the water is taken and used for irrigation. What keeps being said is we don't want DSRSD to use it for a new capacity. We don't want this wastewater recycled to recharge the groundwater in order to service another 30,000 units. He doesn't have a problem with DSRSD processing as much sewage of it wants to if it is used it for landscaping 11/21/95 -25 -
