AGENDA TITLE: Authorize City Manager to Execute Amendment No. 1 to Memorandum of
Understanding with Michael/David Winery, LLC, to Truck Industrial Effluent to
White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility
MEETING DATE: March 5, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to
Memorandum of Understanding with Michael/David Winery, LLC, to
truck industrial effluent to White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 15, 2006, City Council approved the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Michael/David Winery, LLC, and Jesse's
Grove Winery to truck industrial effluent to White Slough Water
Pollution Control Facility and to open a joint downtown wine tasting room that is provided in Exhibit A.
The MOU granted to Michael/David Winery, LLC, up to 700,000 gallons per year of industrial treatment
capacity in exchange for payment of the capacity charge in the amount of $16,492.
Subsequently, additional industrial treatment capacity has been granted in increments of 300,000 and
500,000 gallons and capacity charges collected in the amount of $4,856.40 and $8,868.75, respectively.
These were informally granted and Amendment No. 1 to the MOU will formalize these changes and, in
addition, remove the time of year restriction on deliveries. The additional effluent has minimal impact on
the treatment plant. A copy of Amendment No. 1 is attached.
FISCAL IMPACT: The average annual sewer charges are estimated to be $5,000, which
includes a 50 percent surcharge, as reflected in the attached MOU. This
surcharge is consistently applied to those wineries that haul effluent to the
White Slough facility.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
