Re: Resolution of Intent and Call for Public Hearing for the 2018 Water
Facility Plan Update
Meeting Date: July 16, 2018
BACKGROUND: A Water Facility Plan provides a guide for operational and capital
improvements that are the basis of planning, financing, designing, construction and solution
implementations to meet the City's foreseeable water system needs for present and future year
sustainability. In May of last year, AE2S Engineering was contracted by the City to update the
City's 2008 Water Facility Plan (WFP). The update was finalized this spring, following the
April 23, 2018 work session that provided an overview of the Draft 2018 WFP.
As part of the consideration for adoption of the 2018 Water Facility Plan Update, a public
hearing process is applicable and will begin with the passage of the proposed resolution that
establishes a date for the public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council adopt the resolution calling for a
public hearing on August 20, 2018, for the proposed adoption of the 2018 Water Facility Plan
Update.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by Council.
