Give me a second. I'm going to try it now. Hold on. I don't think we're seeing the right screen. There you go. Thank you for your patience. I don't normally have this, this fancy a setup going on here. So I'm actually pretty happy it made it through. Good morning Chairman Galvin and members of the board and specifically the contract review subcommittee here to take a walk you through the water service agreement between the city of Santa Rosa and El Cristal mobile home park. Again, my name is Andrew Allen supervising engineer. I'll give you this is the overview of our my presentation. I'll give you a little background on the on the project and what's happening and why we're here location map showing you where El Cristal is some specifics about the El Cristal mobile home park. The request for assistance and prior bpu and council review. Our analysis and recommendation little background, a lot of words on the screen, but we are in the process of there's nine locations in the city of Santa Rosa that the state has asked us to provide water systems that want to be consolidated to the city. And the state requires that we do this it's mandatory for us. And they have an assistance program the state does a lot of the work on the front end of this activity coordinating at hiring consultant. And ultimately they they reimburse the property owner for fees paid and construction. And then under prop one, and we've done one before under prop 84 connecting for similar water systems that are in need of connection so in grant funding for this project, and it will ultimately be a CIP projects that connects these nine water systems to city water. So location map and the highlighted water system is that the El Cristal mobile home park got quite a few right along Santa Rosa Avenue we do have a project on James court, which is actually a street project. The mobile home park so summer mobile home parks but not all, but that's the location of the various nine water systems that ultimately we're will be connected to city water. The El Cristal mobile home park is in the is one of the nine. And they have arsenic issues and then more recently came up with E. Coli contamination that they haven't been able to clear from their wells. So they have been supplying residents with bottled water for a couple of years now. And that's for use for drinking and bathing and that's challenge and they want to fix that this mobile home park and water system is actually outside the city limits so utility certificate was required and that has been applied for and granted by the city. Again with this high E. Coli the E. Coli counts the state approached us for us additional assistance, and we felt it appropriate that we allow a temporary emergency connection. And when I say emergency connection we are connecting them to our to a water supply our water supply. The full connection will include fire protection as is required for connections with the normally connections to city water so ultimately the fire connection will be made with a larger project. But we're trying to get them some good drinking water in the meantime. And that's why it's called a temporary connection but it's going to look very much like the permanent connection. Once we're all done. And the purpose of this agreement and why we're here today is the water service agreement between the water system and the city has to be signed and and submitted to the state. So it just is telling them that we're taking over and by to provide water that's really the majority of the agreement is is limited to to that other so the crux though the situation and until that agreement goes forward. They can't be reimbursed. This has been seen by bpu and ultimately up to city council, one of the back in 2020. In order to help facilitate the emergency connection, because they have a limited amount of funds that they're willing to put towards an emergency connection project. We requested and we agreed to a fee deferral agreement. And those fees will be paid as a first order business once we have the overall nine system connection project. So that's, we came to you and showed you similar information and asked that you recommend to city council. The, that the fee deferral agreement was satisfactory, and then you unanimously approve that again back in 2020. And next month in October of 2020, we went to council and they unanimously approve that agreement as well. So that was step one. In the meantime, we have the contractor has submitted plans and it's received an encroachment permit to move forward as well. The state consolidation project will provide the permanent connection to city water within the next five years hopefully a little sooner than that. Again, due to the urgency need for water El Cristal, it had the have started construction of the temporary connection. Initially, this is at their own expense. And the water service agreement is required by the state for El Cristal to be reimbursed. So they're just starting to spend money so time it's very timely that we can put this forward looking a little more specifically at the at the agreement itself. We're going to work together to complete the temporary connection here in 2022 El Cristal is responsible for paying all the costs to connect to city water, including construction costs and meter and processing fees and encroachment permit fees. And that the city will provide water to El Cristal El Cristal public water system will cease to exist. And El Cristal will be a customer of Santa Rosa water. And there is no cost associated to the city for this agreement. And it is recommended by the water department and that the board of public utilities contract review subcommittee recommend that the board of public utilities by resolution approve a water service agreement between the city of Santa Rosa and El Cristal mobile home park LLC. And I'm here to answer any questions that you might have. Thanks Andy. Any board member or committee member questions or comments. Seems pretty straightforward. I know we did see this back in 2020 I'm surprised it's taken so long to get back to us for the temporary but I guess the E. Coli issue probably spurred things on a little quicker. Things there's a lot of paperwork and steps that go through the process to to get to this point. You know, being in the middle of coven hasn't helped. And but they do have a contractor on board, they're starting construction and it's a They're excited and happy to be going we've got some of the other ones are some of the other mobile home parks are asking for the same but they don't have the same emergency. In effect with the E. Coli is just very important to get them hooked up and we're happy to do that. If it was if they just mobile home park just came in and wanted to connect there's no reason. An agreement like this isn't put in place, but it is to make sure the state wants to make sure this is all documented, and they can get pay the mobile home park and reimburse their costs. How many units are in this development. I think there's. There's 130 people I think 130 residents and I more like 60 units, I have that information I just don't have it at the, at the tip of my tongue. That's okay. No problem. Board member questions or comments. It's a big here here and thank you for the presentation and the work. Most welcome. All right, well at this point then we'll take public comments on item 3.1. You wish to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand if you're dialing in via telephone please style star nine to raise your hand. No public comments. Okay, at this point then I'll ask for recommendation or a motion from the committee to approve the recommendation from the water department. I would like to make a move that the committee of the Board of Public Utilities recommends a full Board of Public Utilities approval of a water services agreement between center of the water. No crystal mobile home park as presented by staff. Second. All right we have a motion in a second. May we have a roll call vote please. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. Board member bad and for. Hi. And board member walls. All right. Great passes unanimously. Thanks again, Andy. I'm sure it'll sail through BPU and the council. I think that concludes our agenda. I appreciate you all being here. Nice quick meeting. So enjoy the rest of your day. And Jennifer, I guess I will see you on the zoom this evening. I appreciate your time. And yes, we have an important council meeting later today. All right. We are adjourned. Thanks. Everyone. Thank you. Bye bye. Jennifer. Jennifer, are you still out of y'all? I'm still here. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. I'm the Roberta. I'm off site traveling. And her burn. What beyond the scope of her duties. To make sure I got the agenda. Got all set up on time. So. Oh great. Up in the out. Tomorrow's meeting. I think I'm going to be eating the air. For the water. So I apologize for that. Okay. I think we have a, we have a quorum. So we'll miss you, but I appreciate you letting us know. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's, it's an, it's an easy agenda. It's, it's some feel good items. So that's nice. I'm really appreciate it. And so we're going to apply for the award then. That, that should be able. There was just discussion of that and how we apply or. We're going to provide information on awards. That we're giving our community for doing a great job. So that we can see how we are going to be. So, that's great, thank you. And there's also again, I guess one thing on the slide. It's got a little bit of a console. A water bill. A thousand dollars. That's area to go jostled around. So it's always one point four above. So I think what happened is a building this, but I got one for a thousand, I think that's the wall.
