COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility Task Order to
West Yost & Associates for Engineering and Environmental Work to Establish a
Sphere of Influence Surrounding the White Slough Facility ($83,500) and
Appropriate Funds
MEETING DATE: August 6,2003
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION- That the City Council approve the White Slough Water Pollution Control
Facility Task Order to West Yost & Associates for engineering and
environmental work to establish a sphere of influence surrounding the
White Slough Facility and appropriate funds as shown below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Long range plans for improvements at the City's wastewater
treatment facility include continued application of wastewater to
adjacent, City -owned land', additional land acquisition for this
purpose; and, possibly, a treatment wetland.
However, development in Stockton and nearby County lands is occurring closer and closer to the facility.
Staff is recommending that the City pursue establishment of a formal "sphere of influence" through the
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) process that will put other agencies on notice of our long
range plans and give the City some say in the process.
Our wastewater consultant — West Yost & Associates, along with their environmental subconsultant,
Hughes Environmental — has provided a work plan to prepare the necessary background information
and environmental document to initiate our application to LAFCO. Given the previous work doneby
them on our faciMy, staff recommends that we proceed in a timely manner to accomplish this. A copy of
the work plan is on file at the Public Works Department.
FUNDING: Wastewater Fund $92,000 (includes Task Order and contingencies)
