Mr. Pico replied he'd RIce to see it in twenty years or the year 2015. R might be logical to go to year 2020 when the EBDA agreement lapseal. Ms. Acosta commented on recycling. Tonight there was talk about the separation of recycled water that is used for irrigation versus recycling that increases sewer capacity. One of the issues DSRSD seems concerned about is that it would like the opportunity to sell recycled water to other areas that have not been talked about before. Mr. Pico did not have a problem with DSRSD's selling the recycled water to other areas. He felt the City has to have the fight of first refusal in those kinds of areas. He did not feel that DSRSD has to go seek out sewage from the Dougherty Valley in order to generate recycled water. He felt there was plenty of sewage capacity for recycled water generated by the existing member agencies. If DSRSD wants to change the agreement that was in place or to the 32.4 million gallons a day to increase that number or the capacity, then DSRSD should put that on the table and get specific about what it wants in terms of additional capacity in order to fred out whether EBDA wants to give it to us. Mayor Tarver said if DSRSD does an RO plant and it wants to inject the groundwater or sell it back to Zone 7, that's fine. But don't use it to service new growth. Ms. Acosta asked that if by some chance the Valley residents have used all we need and DSRSD has an interest in selling it elsewhere and it didn't increase the overall capacity, is that something that could be considered. Ms. Michelotti asked how do we know it is cost-effective to do that or that DSRSD would be the one chosen? DSRSD is in competition with other agencies. She felt that in trying to project out such a long time that we don't know what technology is going to bring. Ms. Dennis stated that we are looking for the sewer to service our General Plan. We've provided for Dublin to service its General Plan which includes East Dublin. We've provided for Livermore. Another way to approach it is to leave DSRSD's having to draw urban limit lines out of it and have an agreement that services Dublin's General Plan but doesn't account for an expansion of DSRSD's service area to Dougherty Valley. DSRSD would have to annex that area to service it. We need acknowledgement that any new capacity that is added, as far as water recycling and new technology, would service the General Plans as they were at a defined date. We are talking about providing capacity for what is not built. At the same time, there is concern about orderly and planned development. The agreement can be used not to stop development but to ensure logical development and should address new projects which may be possible. For twenty years this new capacity would service this specific area. If that area is not built in twenty years, we can redef'me the service area. Ms. Mohr asked if this leaves any room for a five year review of the General Plan, since the General Plan is a twenty year plan. 11/21/95 -27-
