Mark Stone gave the report and PowerPoint Presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk).
MS - 100% of water comes from Colorado and Northern California. Northern California has experienced the driest Spring on record. Governor proclaimed a statewide drought in June 2008. This year's snowpack water content is 67% of normal.
The Colorado River system is barely at 50% of capacity.
Metropolitan Water District has developed a plan for years 2009 and beyond. County Water Authority also working on mitigating drought conditions.
Mandatory cutback could be seen as early as Spring 2009.
Potential discussion on water distribution could take place.

MS can be reached at website.
Julie requested a review of what would happen in terms of construction what mandated water cutbacks.
MS stated that it depends on the level of cutbacks mandated. The impact on developments could happen at 20% or 30%. It also depends upon how much we're mandated to cutback.
MP - does carlsbad have a different standard because of the reclaimed water facility?
MS - MWD has a different type of calculation and we get credit for having the reclaimed water system.
MH asked what impact the desal plant would have on the drought.
MS replied that this would have a significant impact as it would reduce or depndence on imported water - everyone in the county is depending on this approval.
Mayor Lewis explained about a 53 unit project being approved by Council and how citizens were upset when there is a drought.
MS - city and county is in a voluntary conservation mode at this time. Only when the Authority calls for the mandated restrictions, the curtailment of approving projects would take place.

Mr. Hanmann also showed a slide that showed the redesign of the park eliminating those areas of the aquatic center, stating that those areas will be planted with landscaping that can later be removed.
Mr. Hanmann explained the projects costs of the construction of the park and then briefly explained the operating costs.
Mr. Hanmann explained that the operating costs were developed using the 2008-09 budget and will probably have to be adjusted.
Skip listed the Options: 1. Authorize staff to advertise for bids with phasing as directed by Council. 2. Defer the Aquatic Center - this may require additional consulting fees of $60K and add three months to the project schedule. a) Create a bid alternate b) Defer the entire aquatic center (would not costs anything to redesign - area would just be left as a dirt lot. 3. Defer the entire project until the economy improves 4. Determine if this project is a market wage rate project.

Skip replied that it would require a "repackaging" of the construction documents so that they are clear to the contractor.
Council Member Packard asked about the market wage rate and asked if this required any document change?
Mr. Hanmann replied that this will not require additional costs.
Mayor Lewis asked if the Council determined to defer the project until the economy approves, would a redesign be required?
Mr. Hanmann replied that the longer the project stays defered, certain codes may change that qill require a redesign but at this time staff is unaware of anything of this nature.
Council Member Nygaard asked if the bidding climate was competitive. Does staff think the project will come in at a better price?
Skip replied that material costs continue to rise but labor costs are leveling out. This will be a very attractive market if only considering construction costs.
Scott Pieratt of Carlsbad came forward to address Council. Mr. Pieratt stated he would like the City to look at partnerships or sponsorship with corporations in the city to subsidize the costs of our recreation facilities.

The Recreation Dept. has shown that the pool side will subsidize some of the costs of the park. Asked the Council to put the project out to bid and move forward. Build the aquatic complex now and the parks at a later date.

MPT Kulchin clarified that the recreation element of the pool has been eliminated and the therapy portion of the pool is still included in the project.
Council Member Nygaard stated how difficult this project has been. Understands that the bidding climate is good at this time, construction costs are high and is concerned about the State and its budget issues.
Council Member Packard stated the City still does not have its financial status certain by the the State. Concerned about going forth on the project will take the City below the 30% reserve policy adopted recently. Asked that staff explore ir. Pieratt's idea of sponsorship of maintenance and operations on these types of projects.
Council Member Hall addressed the table of costs exceeding the $1.2 million into $1.5 million. Concerned about the City's revenues and projects being met. Concerned about the state and its budget issues - would like to hold off until we know.
MPT Kulchin asked if the pool could be built without the recreational element. Feels we should go forward on the project - it will take time to get the bids back. Concerned about the lack of a project that would entice a partnership. The time is right - understands the concerns with the economy. The project is in the budget.
Mayor Lewis stated he is concerned about the financial issues currently taking place. He said the city's finances are good and he would like to keep it this way.

MS - MWD has a different type of calculation and we get credit for having the reclaimed water system.

Mr. Hanmann replied that this will not require additional costs.
Mayor Lewis asked if the Council determined to defer the project until the economy approves, would a redesign be required?

Pieratt's idea of sponsorship of maintenance and operations on these types of projects.
Council Member Hall addressed the table of costs exceeding the $1.2 million into $1.5 million. Concerned about the City's revenues and projects being met. Concerned about the state and its budget issues - would like to hold off until we know.
