HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES 63� ( DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 2008 SUBJECT: REQUEST BY CALIFORNIA RESOURCE CONNECTIONS FOR $15,500 TO CONDUCT LITTER CLEAN-UP PROGRAM AND COMPOSTING / GARDENING WORKSHOP RECOMMENDATION i It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council approve: (1) proposed funding request by California Resource Connections in amount of $15,500; and (2) approve a budget appropriation for fiscal year 2008-2009 in amount of $8,175 using AB 939 Fee Revenue to pay for a Composting / Gardening Workshop; and (3) authorize use of budgeted Beverage Container Recycling Grant funds in amount of $7,325 to pay for Litter Clean-up Program this fiscal year. BACKGROUND I I In August 2007, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with California Resource Connections (CRC). The MOU was twofold. First, with about $52,500 in funding, it required CRC to make improvements to the Taylor House located in San Gabriel Canyon across the river from the former EI Encanto Restaurant. Second, the MOU committed j the City to provide $10,000 in funding to CRC for "environmental programs:' Vulcan Materials donated $50,000 in initial funding for improvements of the Taylor House property and Azusa Light & Water contributed $2,500 given CRCs promise to educate the public about the importance of the San Gabriel River as a water source and the need to keep it clean. At this time, CRC, through attached proposal, requests $15,500 in funding to conduct two environmental programs: (1) a river education and cleari up event in April 2008 to coincide with the City of Azusas Clean, Green, More Beautiful Azusa Celebration, and (2) a compost i and gardening workshop to be held in September 2008 at the Taylor house. As part of the compost workshop, CRC would provide free compostl bins to residents which would be purchased with funds provided by the City. The cost of, the compost bins would be about $5,500 and so this is why the funding request exceeds the amount in the MOU. However, 4 compost bin give -a -ways are common amongst City recycling programs and so staff If 024 t� � recommends approval of the higher amount using AB 939 fee revenues. FISCAL IMPACT Total cost of this approval is $15,500. Of this total, $7,325 will be provided from existing budget using account number 28-40-750-064-6625, or block grant funds from State of California for Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Clean-up. Since the Composting Workshop being proposed is scheduled for next fiscal year, $8,175 will be budgeted for this program in next years operating budget using AB 939 program fund since backyard composting is an eligible use of these funds.

Outreach will be made specifically to Azusa schools K-12, including the Jr. ROTC at both Azusa and Gladstone High Schools, and also to Citrus College and Azusa Pacific University emphasizing the fact that students can earn community service hours by participating. The day's activities will begin at the Azusa River Park/EI Encanto parking lot with a sign up list, morning snacks, and brief welcoming remarks. Recycling practices will be utilized when serving and cleaning up the snacks. All those participating will then be rotated through three 10 -minute educational sessions that will cover the following topics: definition of the San Gabriel River Watershed, how trash affects water quality, and safety along the river. Gloves and trash bags will be distributed during the educational sessions. Participants will then be escorted safely across Highway 39 to the northern terminus of the Azusa River Bike Trail and asked to walk south, picking up litter along the way. CCC members will be walking continuously up and down the bike trail to ensure safety of participants and to disseminate event information as needed. Two stations will be set-up strategically as one -mile markers along the trail and staffed with volunteers to give participants an opportunity to drink water and head back north if they chose. Turn around point is at Lario Park (Foothill Blvd and the San Gabriel River). At Lario Park, participants will have access to hydrating refreshments, an educational display hosted by a Park Ranger that focuses on native plants and animals, and free public. informational give-aways solicited from local conservation organizations.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES 1.%��t.J—/ /[)7�% laer`1 , i DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 2008 1 SUBJECT: SUPPORT OF SENATE BILL 691 (CALDERON) -- REQUIREMENTS FOR RECYCLING OF NON-FERROUS METAL s RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Utility Board/City Council adopt a support position on SB 691 and authorize staff to send letters to legislators advocating the City's position. BACKGROUND Theft of non-ferrous metals such as copper has been on the rise this past few years due to the increasing value of the commodity. The problem has become so prevalent that structures at construction sites are often targeted and stripped of copper pipes or conduit; fire hydrants have been stolen, and materials have been stolen from utility storage yards. SB 691 (Calderon) was introduced to combat this problem by requiring recycling centers who pay for such metals to pay by check and obtain identifying information from those individuals who sell such materials or items for cash. Files identifying sellers are to be kept on hand for a period of 2 -years. Sales less than $20 would be exempt from the requirements of this bill as would beverage containers. I FISCAL IMPACT There is little fiscal impact of the City supporting this bill. ;The Utility has already experienced theft of its supplies and in some cases infrastructure, and passage of this bill may deter further theft of valuable equipment and supplies.

Page 1 of 3 Fish rescue may mean drier times To save the longfin smelt, a state panel sets new rules for exporting Delta water. By Matt Weiser - mweiser@sacbee.com Published 12.00 am PST Friday, February 8, 2008 The Bay Area and Southern California could be in for deeper water shortages this year after state officials on Thursday decided to protect another Delta fish. The California Fish and Game Commission, meeting in San Diego, voted unanimously to protect the longfin smelt under the state Endangered Species Act. The finger -length fish is now officially a candidate for stronger protection. State officials will spend the coming year deciding whether its status should be "threatened" or "endangered." Meanwhile, to protect the longfin, the commission also set new rules for state and federal agencies that export water from the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta to 25 million Californians and 2 million acres of farmland. This could mean drier times ahead for parts of the state already dealing with shortages because of the Delta's troubles. "It's fair to say this is just another notch in the chokehold that is tightening our ability to move water," said Laura King -Moon of the State Water Contractors, which represents most of the agencies that buy Delta water from the state. The longfin smelt is one of nine Delta fish species to suffer steep declines over the past five years. Last year, the longfin population was the lowest in 40 years of record-keeping. State and federal water pumps in the Delta are blamed for killing millions of fish, but other culprits include poor water quality and invasive species. Government officials are working on plans to protect the Delta. But those will take years and billions of dollars. Hardships are coming in the meantime. Commission President Richard Rogers said he felt forced into a decision he called "repugnant." "The piper is standing at the door with an ax," he said. "This is something we have to solve and we have to solve now." State action to protect the longfin came after a petition by environmentalists. A similar petition is pending under federal law. http://www.sacbee.com/101/v-print/story/697540.htrnl 2/11/2008 037 Fish rescue may mean drier times - sacbee.com Page 2 of 3 "There is absolutely no doubt the species merited listing and is in desperate need of protection, along with its habitat," said Tina Swanson, 'a scientist at the Bay Institute, one of the petitioners. Rules adopted Thursday closely match limits imposed by a federal judge in December to protect the Delta smelt, a cousin of the longfin. Court restrictions slashed water deliveries by 42 percent in January, shorting water agencies about 1269,000 acre-feet, said Terry Erlewine, general manager of the State Water Contractors. That's enough for about a half -million homes. But the longfin has a different life cycle, generally breeding earlier in the year. So the Department of Fish and Game called for pumping limits that could begin earlier in the fall and possibly extend deeper into spring. The commission adopted those limits, voting 3-0, with two members absent. The new rules take effect later this month and will be in place through August. The commission then expects to extend them another six months. By then, state and federal officials intend to adopt new operating rules for water pumps that come with permanent protections for Delta fish. `. There is some doubt about whether Thursday's actions must bel heeded by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the Delta's federal pumping system. So the commission will ask the state Water Resources Control Board to also adopt the rules, which would then be binding on the bureau. j Jeff McCracken, a spokesman for the bureau, did not comment on how his agency will respond, saying officials had not yet reviewed the new rules. j Water agency representatives at Thursday's meeting warned the state's new rules would only lead to protracted litigation. I They complained of being singled out, while other Delta threats are ignored. They urged the commission to force agricultural water diverters within the Delta to screen intakes, for instance, and end protection of the striped bass, a nonnative species blamed for preying on protected fish. j i Water users favored having the federal court's Delta smelt limits cover the longfin as well, since the species are similar. I i "If you have an umbrella that keeps you dry, you don't need two umbrellas," said Jerry Johns, deputy director of the state Department of Water Resources. I I The commission instead agreed with state biologists that the longfin's unique breeding cycle demands special rules. Commission members also ordered a staff report on possible steps to control other threats. "We're really concerned about the health of the ecosystem, not just the health of this fish," said commissioner Michael Sutton.

One idea that should be explored is to establish a fresh water harbor at the end of the San Gabriel River in Long Beach. Captured run-off would then be used to recharge drinking wells. The low-tech way to capture more rainwater is to return land to its pristine state. Re -greening the Arroyo Seco, the Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Rio Hondo rivers would increase the amount of porous surface for rainwater recharge. We're pleased to hear the Watermaster is working with the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy to find more land for preservation. More green space - especially along our rivers - will send millions of gallons of rain and storm water back into underground aquifers. What about consumers? We'd rather use carrots than sticks for increasing conservation. More agencies should follow the lead of the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District which gives away low -flush toilets, water -stingy shower heads and promotes water -efficient dishwashers and washing machines. All new buildings should be water wise and include drought -resistant landscaping. With these carrots, plus the good news of a wet year and a healthy snowpack both locally and in Northern California, cities such as Covina, Azusa and Glendora should suspend plans for mandatory water rationing. Requiring homeowners to use 10or 20 percent less water penalizes those who had been conserving and is unfair to senior citizens who use very little water anyway. We're seeing a rainbow at the end of the drought. Now, if only we could harvest that pot of gold. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e i cznces veion e FREE Twenty 4x6' basic prints r , ° � � � II�B�lilll��llll�lll�llll� , mko.anet a,:a�n ene+ar=:ane iees.m»rapnra-�mno,o es rteiocamr. ryeu.Onc na�.mte er:h iomaM�e mwc.iv. uma am nc� v oiM ec m�e+.. oea,a waecee,m rnMs.mcee �ro eoaes >;cw2 e�,k. wa n caoee.„se. r r rucwsM.mA]n•cmHm MwM'.ra crsn w�ue..x-.am�.+,:esei.aut E<m ro�comryem o -x wm. 9856-0113-2647-56/9-037E5806-89 � ____________________________________________________________________________J Print Powered By rd Fcrma'tDynamics” http://www,pasadenastarnews.com/opinions/ci_8218125 032/119/2008 Pasadena Star -News - Pulling out of the drought OUR VIEW Pulling out of the drought Article Launched: 02/092008 06:16:54 PM PST To water managers, the snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains are more than just pretty postcard material. They represent a return to normal well capacities. The future snow melt that will slowly percolate into groundwater recharge areas well into summer along the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo river banks is the key to ending years of drought. Is the region ready to capture this bounty? Or will it be wasted? Rainfall in downtown Los Angeles this season is four inches above normal. Behind the Santa Anita Dram, seasonal rain has equaled more than 20 inches. The winter storms and more importantly, melting mountain snowpack will "definitely" be good news for Azusa and Glendora, which draw from canyon wells and are most affected by a local drought, experts say. The key San Gabriel Basin well down 26 feet in December '07 over December '06 - will be on the rise. A state Department of Water Resources web site shows key reservoirs in central and Northern California at or approaching normal percentages as of Jan. 29.2008. So why aren't water folks cheering? They are like the American voter, worried about the tanking economy, gridlocked political environment and ominous environmental news - yet despite a gloomy outlook are voting in higher numbers. As Barrack Obama would say, do the water folks have the audacity to hope? Hope that California is showing signs of crawling out of a drought? i "This (rainfall, snow pack) is definitely going to help," said Carol Williams, general manager of the Main San Gabriel Basin Watermaster. But she said we'll need another wet year in '08-'09 before she and others would pronounce the drought dead. I i We understand such cautious optimism. The Watermaster is facing a go -it -alone future from mighty Metropolitan Water District, which has suspended its delivery of imported water for replenishing our overdrawn basins. Instead of annually, that may happen 'three out of 10 years," she said. Actually, going independent may be the best thing for communities sitting on top of ground water supplies. It is the stimulus this region needs to fix its own water problems. I As Rep. Grace Napolitano said last week, it will take a lot of agencies and people working together. We have some project suggestions: First, dean -up of polluted pockets of the basins must be accelerated. Yes, there's been progress. But cities, water agencies, the EPA, the state and the responsible parties must put more money into finishing the job. Having a pollution - free aquifer will establish San Gabriel Valley's water independence. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------t 1 I I � [%PIRCS JIB/0.9 I 1 , FREE Twenty 4x6' basic prints 1 1 I (Y'Cnre b`b n1 iR'eHC"0.�1l aryatalntl.

Of great concern are the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) HSN1 viruses that have killed millions of birds and infected humans in other countries, If these viruses are detested in the U.S. or if you travel on work assignments or are employed in countries that have HPAI H5N1 outbreaks, take appropriate Precautions, Avian Flu Symptoms in Humans Range from fever. cough, sore throat and muscle aches; to diarrhea, eye infections, pneumonia and severe respiratory diseases. The symptoms of avian influenza may depend on which virus caused the infection but are often similar to those associated with human seasonal influenza. How Humans Are Infected Contact with sick poultryor surfaces soiled with dis- charges from their mouths or beaks, or with feces. Inhaling contaminated particles from poultry. Treatment Some prescription antiviral drugs may be effective. General Precautions Wash hands thoroughly and frequently, for 15.20 sec - on s, preferably with soap and water. Avoid contact with possibly infected poultry. Avoid consuming uncooked or undercooked poultry or poultry products. Precautims When Exposed Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE): • Disposable gloves or gloves that can be disinfected; • Protective clothing (long-sleeved coveralls with a water- proof apron); • Disposable shoe covers or those that can be disinfected; *Safety goggles; and • Wear at least the minimum level of respiratory protec- tion, N95 or higher respirator. Employees should remove all PPE at work to avoid taking contaminated items home. If you develop flu-like symptoms, stay at home except to get medical attention. for more compete Information: U.S. Departront of tabor www.osha.gov (8001321 -OSHA AL� '�fi.��ip'�_*.r re M' d� e�"i �'�* !F se Y ��� � a�, �.

Milestone Deadline Date: Wed 2/5 Critical Progress summary WNOOOOOOOOOMW Page 4 Proposed 2008 Functional Organization LUL) l P N EKG Y U hN I EK Project Term Sheet 2-6-08 ` Project Name: Lodi Energy Center (LEC) Description: 255 MW base load Combined Cycle Natural Gas Fired Combustion Turbine Generating Station (one gas turbine and one steam turbine) with approximately 25 MW of peaking duct firing. L Location: Lodi, California, southwest of the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 12, adjacent to NCPA's existing CT2 project and the City of Lodi's White Slough Water Treatment Plant (see attached map): Project Manager Ed Warner, Northern California Power Agency, (209)728-1387 X-22 Performance: LEC is expected to have a heat rate -of approximately 7050 Btu per kWh of energy production and opeiate at about an 80% annual capacity factor resulting in expected annual energy production of 1,787,00 MWh and the consumption about 12,500,000 MMBtu of natural gas. 4 Cost Estimate: Total development and construction cost is anticipated to be approximately $275 million or about $1,080 / kW of project capacity. Utilizing a natural gas price of $7.00 / MMBtu and an 80% annual plant capacity factor results in a projected "all - in" energy cost of just under $70 / MWh. I Transmission: Either PG&E/CAISO 230kv or Western 230kv line. Status: Project participants are attaining approvals for participation in Phase 2 activities which include the acquisition of needed emissions credits, initiating the CEC application process, and commencing detailed engineering and design, all as a prelude to issuing final bid documents, likely toward the end of 2009. (see attached project Phase 2 Timeline) Commercial Operation Date: April 2012 Participants: Azusa (7MW, 2.7451/o); BART (15MW, 5.882%); Biggs (IMW, 0.392%); CDWR (60MW, 23.529%o); Gridley (SMW, 1:9610/6); Healdsburg (4MW, 1.5690/o); Lodi (30MW, 11.765%o); Lompoc (5MW,:1.961%); Modesto (60MW, 23.529%o); Plumas- Sierra (2MW, 0.7840/o); Port of Oakland (3MW, 1.1769/4); PWRPA (SMW, 1.961%); Silicon Valley Power (50MW, 19.608%); Ukiah (BMW, 3.137%) 1 062 Qumtlae $Ud _L_Fin_sM1 Ag4�____.......SL? 101 d 01 1010 13 1016 _.... ,;.q19_ ...... _....

We continue to work with the CAISO to certify the project interconnection with CAISO transmission grid. Current projected in-service date is summer 2008. ■ We continue to participate in the Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) renewable resources RFP process. The SCPPA RFP yielded about 50 proposals: 15 wind power; 30 solar power; 3 geothermal power; 1 small hydro; and 1 biomass. At this time, staff is evaluating 1 solar proposal and the biomass proposal for potential participation. ■ San Juan unit #3 went into the scheduled outage on January 25th and is expected to return to service in late March. So far, the outage is proceeding as scheduled and environmental project is about 90% complete. The latest environmental project report is attached. ■ Due to system software problems, the CAISO has once again delayed (the third time) the start up of the new power market. Although CAISO has not officially stated the new date, it is highly likely to be delayed toward fall of this year. However, CAISO market simulation is continuing apace and is expected continue through the fall. Staff continues to participate in the simulations. ■ The Lodi #2 project planning activities have been delayed due to not all potential participants has received the necessary authorization to proceed. It is now expected that the project will receive the final approval by all participants by the end of this month, and the planning activities will commence shortly thereafter. The project fact sheet is attached for information.

HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES 0 7 -epi F.j� ' `3, DATE: FEBRUARY 25 2008 / SUBJECT: ALLEY LITTER / CLEAN UP OPTIONS At solid waste workshop on January 28, 2008, concern was expressed by Board Member Macias about litter in alleys of the City. In response to this concern, Director of Utilities convened a meeting of Public Works staff, Utilities staff and service representatives of Athens Services. The meeting was intended to discuss the problem generally and put forth ideas on how to address the problem. The following are reported in no particular order: • Waste seems to originate from various sources: o When someone illegally discards a bulky waste item in a trash bin, this, then, limits space for regular trash and results in overflow conditions. o Cars often park illegally in alleys and prevent street sweepers from sweeping the alleys; then, when cars are moved, the public complains about the alley not being swept. o Street sweepers have difficulty getting the middle of alley gutters swept because of the "V" gutter of the alleys. o The manual trash collection system was also believed to be a source of much of the waste, because trash is not always covered or stored in a way that prevents overflow or litter from being blown from the cans, and Athens Services as a trash company has no obligation to pick up trash on the ground which they do not spill. o People illegally discard small amounts of litter in alleys—it's a "mindset" problem. • Ideas set forth to address problems were as follows: o Consider implementing an automated trash collection system; Athens Services representatives said that it has been their experience that cities with such systems have less litter on the ground, even,in alleys. o Post signs at both ends of alleys to notice drivers that it is illegal to park in alleys; then, enforce the no -parking laws. Consider having a parking enforcement vehicle follow the street sweepers and ticket cars illegally parked. o Conduct public information campaigns to encourage people not to park in alleys and not to litter prior to taking enforcement action, similar to how Azusa Light & Water approached water conservation—it worked. 070 o Establish a hotline and allow people to call for pick up service from LA Works when they are available. o Promote free collection of bulky waste as that is in contract with Athens Services for trash collection. o Increase the frequency of trash services if a dumpster is known to be regularly in overflow condition. o Begin with public information in April with Clean & Green Month promotional activities. As an aside to the situation in alleys, concern was expressed about the new street sweeping plan to sweep one side of each street on alternating days; the concern was that given our trash collection system, that trash could be blown to opposite side of street on windy days after one side is swept. Sweeping streets on alternating days may also make it more difficult to implement an automated trash collection system if that is desired. It was generally thought that a multi -faceted approach would be needed to address the origin of the waste, cleaning itup once on the ground, and ongoing prevention. Staff welcomes additional comments and/or suggestions from City Council/Utility Board on this matter. Prepared by: Cary Kalscheuer, Assistant to the Director of Utilities 1-17F
