Topic Agenda Item Number 10523 Fair Oakks Blvd Fair Oaks, CA, 95628 City Council No Inner Harbor Due Diligence 34 Comment Please put off the vote on the Inner Harbor until the independent review of the far -field data is complete. Without this review, the Council is just rolling the dice if the plant will create dead spots in the bay. Also, if the plant will be able to operate at 30 MGD, or 20 MGD, or 10 MGD or less without damaging the bay and/or clogging its prefilters. This could be the most expensive mistake the City ever makes. It would be prudent to do your due diligence before voting to proceed. Keep in mind that Drew Molly is aware that the data used in the QUAL-TX model for the updated permit application is incorrect. Also, keep in mind Drew Molly sits on the Board of the TX Desal Assoc with a Kiewit and GHD employee. The Kiewit proposal was the most expensive of the 3 proposals. Drew Molly was the lead scorer. He should have recused himself because of his business relationship with Kiewit and GHD. I wouldn't want to be the Council member who voted on a project before doing all the due diligence.

Due to the increasing frequency and severity of droughts in the western reservoir basins, Lake Corpus Christi/Choke Canyon should not be considered a primary water source for the future. In order to provide water supplies that meet the peak summer demand without any restrictions, 145 MGD is needed. The eastern system can reliably supply about 75 MGD, the Inner Harbor Desal Plant 30 MGD, Evangeline Groundwater 24 MGD, and Nueces River Wells 17MGD for a total of 146 MGD. The conclusion is that all water supplies are needed. Without adequate water supplies all of us suffer. The city is looking more and more barren having a visual impact on both visitors and potential residents. Without industry. The city slowly dies. For every petrochemical job, 3.8 additional jobs are created in the community. Those who have opposed these water sources have not come forward with any alternates other than to say that industry should pay. When the city attracted these industries to the area, the message was that they would be served by the city's system. They have paid their share through their utility bills. With regard to the potential state funding authorized by Senate Bill 7, there are a lot of steps before that funding begins to be distributed. First, it must get voter approval in the November Election; then the Water Development Board must set up the criteria and processes for distributing the funds. These funds won't likely be available for another year.

To throw so much money into the fire when we can't even fund a homeless services department, despite the number of folks forced to live on the street growing every year, shows me exactly where this city's priorities lie, and it frankly makes me ashamed of my home.
