00:09:22,228 --> 00:09:24,228 plan. 226 00:09:26,398 --> 00:09:27,967 There needs to be -- sorry, the 227 00:09:27,967 --> 00:09:29,802 determination has to be of what 228 00:09:29,802 --> 00:09:30,135 the water supply charge should 229 00:09:30,135 --> 00:09:32,135 include. 230 00:09:33,372 --> 00:09:34,473 And that is under review by a 231 00:09:34,473 --> 00:09:36,473 consultant of yours. 232 00:09:37,876 --> 00:09:40,712 I suggest that until that is 233 00:09:40,712 --> 00:09:41,813 done that -- how do you know 234 00:09:41,813 --> 00:09:44,249 whether or not there's going to 235 00:09:44,249 --> 00:09:46,649 be no next ex-spence. 236 00:09:47,452 --> 00:09:50,452 I recommend the utility adopt 237 00:09:51,589 --> 00:09:54,458 full cost recovery rather than 238 00:09:54,458 --> 00:09:56,594 occural accounting so that the 239 00:09:56,594 --> 00:09:58,162 cost of supplying water, the 240 00:09:58,162 --> 00:10:00,162 environmental cost, resource 241 00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:07,900 cost, and so son so on are met 242 00:10:08,338 --> 00:10:08,739 to adopt policy of water 243 00:10:08,739 --> 00:10:10,739 neutrality. 244 00:10:10,874 --> 00:10:13,310 It would be one May to ensure we 245 00:10:13,310 --> 00:10:14,744 didn't increase pumping and 246 00:10:14,744 --> 00:10:16,679 depletions which are hardly 247 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,981 being covered without extra 248 00:10:17,981 --> 00:10:19,981 water. 249 00:10:25,621 --> 00:10:28,210 Remove the boskque project. 250 00:10:28,391 --> 00:10:30,359 I will submit my comments which 251 00:10:30,359 --> 00:10:31,894 are in more depth. 252 00:10:31,894 --> 00:10:33,894 Thank you. 253 00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,700 >> Councilor Jones: thank you. 254 00:10:44,306 --> 00:10:47,410 >> I

--> 00:16:09,208 development agreement that would 393 00:16:09,277 --> 00:16:12,277 be conditions of service that 394 00:16:12,647 --> 00:16:15,516 have to approved by this board. 395 00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:18,516 No service commitments have been 396 00:16:19,153 --> 00:16:20,870 made until it's approved by this 397 00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:21,855 board. 398 00:16:21,855 --> 00:16:23,924 Just to go through where we're 399 00:16:23,924 --> 00:16:25,926 at, the santolina development as 400 00:16:25,926 --> 00:16:27,861 you know is a very large 401 00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:29,730 development on the west side of 402 00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:31,730 about 14,000 acres. 403 00:16:32,732 --> 00:16:35,835 Phase one was approved for about 404 00:16:35,835 --> 00:16:37,835 4300 acres. 405 00:16:44,711 --> 00:16:44,989 Population projections is about 406 00:16:44,989 --> 00:16:45,678 9 5 407 00:16:45,678 --> 00:16:47,678 95,000 people. 408 00:16:47,747 --> 00:16:50,549 It's about the size of rio 409 00:16:50,549 --> 00:16:52,485 rancho in terms of magnitude of 410 00:16:52,485 --> 00:16:54,485 people served. 411 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,550 Level "b" was 22,000. 412 00:16:57,550 --> 00:16:58,357 The water supply requirements 413 00:16:58,357 --> 00:17:00,757 based on the supplemental 414 00:17:01,293 --> 00:17:03,228 information and based on 110 per 415 00:17:03,228 --> 00:17:04,596 capita per day are provided 416 00:17:04,596 --> 00:17:06,596 there. 417 00:17:08,733 --> 00:17:12,333 2700 feet for the level b1, and 418 00:17:12,637 --> 00:17:15,637 11,000 for the full build out. 419 00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:18,475 In terms of population 420 00:17:18,843 --> 00:17:21,243 projections, these predicted in 421 00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:24,281 the 2120, we graphed out the low 422 00:17:24,281 --> 00:17:25,916 growth strategy or scenario. 423 00:17:25,916 --> 00:17:28,316 We have three different 424 00:17:29,570 --> 00:17:31,570 scenario 2120. 425 00:17:31,388 --> 00:17:34,388 Low, medium, and high growth. 426 00:17:34,758 --> 00:17:36,126 When you project the existing 427 00:17:36,126 --> 00:17:39,726 population and cup pair that to 428 00:17:40,697 --> 00:17:43,233 the future growth projections we 429 00:17:43,233 --> 00:17:45,633 allocated a certain percentage 430 00:17:47,441 --> 00:17:48,137 of growt 431 00:17:48,137 --> 00:17:49,672 side consistent with today. 432 00:17:49,672 --> 00:17:52,875 We do our best to figure out 433 00:17:52,875 --> 00:17:54,760 what the basis of how this 434 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,110 population would be broken up 435 00:17:56,110 --> 00:17:58,147 between existing east and west 436 00:17:58,147 --> 00:17:58,480 and future development east and 437 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,449 west. 438 00:18:00,449 --> 00:18:02,150 To put in perspective in terms 439 00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:04,353 of the long term future strategy 440 00:18:04,353 --> 00:18:06,321 for the water authority and 441 00:18:06,321 --> 00:18:08,590 santolina compared to that, 442 00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:11,590 under the low growth santolina 443 00:18:11,860 --> 00:18:13,428 represents about 15% of the 444 00:18:13,428 --> 00:18:14,662 total population over the next 445 00:18:14,662 --> 00:18:16,164 hundred years. 446 00:18:16,164 --> 00:18:18,132 A very significant portion of 447 00:18:18,132 --> 00:18:18,499 that under the no growth 448 00:18:18,499 --> 00:18:20,499 scenario. 449 00:18:22,203 --> 00:18:23,871 If you look at the medium growth 450 00:18:23,871 --> 00:18:25,871 scenario, santolina represents 451 00:18:26,340 --> 00:18:28,740 about 11% of the total 452 00:18:29,176 --> 00:18:31,576 population by the year 2120. 453 00:18:32,112 --> 00:18:33,480 Even under the medium growth it 454 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,182 still represents large 455 00:18:35,182 --> 00:18:38,182 percentage of the growth of 456 00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:40,286 service area in the future. 457 00:18:40,286 --> 00:18:42,288 So this is a graph of the future 458 00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:44,688 water demands, they're broken 459 00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:48,428 down to reuse, and potable 460 00:18:48,428 --> 00:18:50,430 demands and showing wastewater 461 00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:54,300 flows frojected in the future as 462 00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,204 you go along from 2018 to 2065. 463 00:18:58,204 --> 00:19:01,140 We're showing the level b1 and 464 00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:03,750 a, these are projected 465 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:05,750 population and demand 466 00:19:05,777 --> 00:19:06,178 projections for potable and 467 00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:08,178 nonpotable. 468 00:19:09,948 --> 00:19:12,948 Level b1 is 2700 acre feet. 469 00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:18,870 And11,700 including 470 00:19:18,156 --> 00:19:20,156 potable and nonpotable. 471 00:19:20,791 --> 00:19:22,560 In terms of the demand over 472 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,229 time, we have the three 473 00:19:25,229 --> 00:19:27,331 different growth scenarios, low, 474 00:19:27,331 --> 00:19:29,731 medium and high growth. 475 00:19:29,767 --> 00:19:31,268 These are the demand projections 476 00:19:31,268 --> 00:19:33,668 for those different scenarios. 477 00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:36,907 Under the no growth snai 478 00:19:36,907 --> 00:19:38,907 cenario our 479 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,480 future demand is going up to 21 480 00:19:48,217 --> 00:19:48,551 210,000 acre feet for the high 481 00:19:48,551 --> 00:19:50,551 growth. 482 00:19:51,287 --> 00:19:54,157 In terms of santolina projected 483 00:19:54,157 --> 00:19:56,959 overall demands, we projected in 484 00:19:56,959 --> 00:19:59,195 the 2065 what percent of the 485 00:19:59,195 --> 00:20:00,896 water demand would be served by 486 00:20:00,896 --> 00:20:02,896 santolina which is 9%. 487 00:20:03,932 --> 00:20:06,332 We projected the difference 488 00:20:06,969 --> 00:20:10,539 between west side and the future 489 00:20:10,539 --> 00:20:11,873 demand totally and that portion 490 00:20:11,873 --> 00:20:12,340 would be attributed to 491 00:20:12,340 --> 00:20:14,340 santolina. 492 00:20:14,576 --> 00:20:17,345 You have a box on the right side 493 00:20:17,345 --> 00:20:19,547 with the potable and non-potable 494 00:20:19,547 --> 00:20:22,350 as it relates to the future 495 00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:24,850 demand in the 2120 plan. 496 00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:26,254 So as we talked about last 497 00:20:26,254 --> 00:20:27,955 month, we talked about what was 498 00:20:27,955 --> 00:20:30,391 the first step in determining 499 00:20:30,391 --> 00:20:31,792 what the requirements for 500 00:20:31,792 --> 00:20:34,361 santolina would be, the first 501 00:20:34,361 --> 00:20:35,696 step was to determine what the 502 00:20:35,696 --> 00:20:37,640 legal commitments are. 503 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,231 Who are we serve 504 00:20:38,231 --> 00:20:39,320 ing in the 505 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,320 service area? 506 00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:41,768 Who is not being served in the 507 00:20:41,768 --> 00:20:43,768 service area? 508 00:20:44,671 --> 00:20:48,271 We have a commitment that we're 509 00:20:48,441 --> 00:20:51,210 going to provide water and 510 00:20:51,210 --> 00:20:52,545 service to everyone in the area. 511 00:20:52,545 --> 00:20:53,946 We need to figure out the 512 00:20:53,946 --> 00:20:55,946 development agreements approved 513 00:20:56,282 --> 00:20:57,817 by the board and the impact in 514 00:20:57,817 --> 00:21:00,217 the existing service area. 515 00:21:00,252 --> 00:21:02,521 And the contracts we have with 516 00:21:02,521 --> 00:21:05,521 existing entities like intel and 517 00:21:05,724 --> 00:21:06,492 the village of kral 518 00:21:06,492 --> 00:21:08,492 corales. 519 00:21:09,928 --> 00:21:12,928 We have existing contracts to 520 00:21:13,165 --> 00:21:15,300 provide wastewater treatment and 521 00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:17,700 a million for corrales. 522 00:21:18,603 --> 00:21:20,772 When you look at that and 523 00:21:20,772 --> 00:21:22,740 compare it to the system, we 524 00:21:22,740 --> 00:21:24,776 have to analyze what the 525 00:21:24,776 --> 00:21:25,643 capacity issues are in terms of 526 00:21:25,643 --> 00:21:27,643 the commitment. 527 00:21:27,779 --> 00:21:28,946 We looked at the water, sewer, 528 00:21:28,946 --> 00:21:30,946 and reuse system. 529 00:21:31,215 --> 00:21:31,515 There's no reuse on the west 530 00:21:31,515 --> 00:21:32,950 side. 531 00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:34,351 There's nothing to talk about 532 00:21:34,351 --> 00:21:37,870 other than the future potential 533 00:21:37,870 --> 00:21:39,323 for reuse which is the bosque 534 00:21:39,323 --> 00:21:39,690 plant and reuse proposed for 535 00:21:39,690 --> 00:21:41,325 santolina. 536 00:21:41,325 --> 00:21:45,525 On the water side we have ground 537 00:21:45,695 --> 00:21:49,295 water wells on the west side. 538 00:21:49,699 --> 00:21:51,734 And the transfer of surface 539 00:21:51,734 --> 00:21:54,734 water from east to west. 540 00:21:55,705 --> 00:21:57,974 We have two lift station, which 541 00:21:57,974 --> 00:22:00,109 is called lift station 20 which 542 00:22:00,109 --> 00:22:02,678 takes the flow from the west 543 00:22:02,678 --> 00:22:03,646 side across the river to the 544 00:22:03,646 --> 00:22:05,646 south side plant. 545 00:22:06,150 --> 00:22:08,830 We evaluated the capacity to see 546 00:22:08,830 --> 00:22:11,830 if there was deficiencies and 547 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,220 how we would be making up those 548 00:22:16,424 --> 00:22:18,426 deficiencies for those that 549 00:22:18,426 --> 00:22:20,829 would be exasperated by them. 550 00:22:20,829 --> 00:22:23,829 We have the existing demand 551 00:22:24,132 --> 00:22:26,300 shown there, we have ground 552 00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:27,201 court as one measure of ply on 553 00:22:27,201 --> 00:22:28,870 the west side. 554 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:30,838 We have demand on the west side, 555 00:22:30,838 --> 00:22:33,107 and the existing ground water 556 00:22:33,107 --> 00:22:34,775 wells which are the dark blue, 557 00:22:34,775 --> 00:22:38,412 and we also have the light blue 558 00:22:38,412 --> 00:22:42,612 or hatch blue on of that they 559 00:22:43,183 --> 00:22:43,550 shows the ground water capacity 560 00:22:43,550 --> 00:22:45,550 committed. 561 00:22:45,619 --> 00:22:47,621 If you look that ground water 562 00:22:47,621 --> 00:22:49,589 capacity line, the legal 563 00:22:49,589 --> 00:22:51,989 agreements is above that. 564 00:22:52,358 --> 00:22:55,228 We're already obligated with the 565 00:22:55,228 --> 00:22:55,528 ground water supply on the west 566 00:22:55,528 --> 00:22:57,528 side. 567 00:22:57,697 --> 00:23:00,970 Any additional ground water 568 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,701 pumping would require new 569 00:23:01,701 --> 00:23:03,701 infrastructure or infrastructure 570 00:23:03,703 --> 00:23:05,304 to be used on the east side to 571 00:23:05,304 --> 00:23:07,306 move over to the west side. 572 00:23:07,306 --> 00:23:09,241 On the wastewater side we looked 573 00:23:09,241 --> 00:23:11,743 at the interceptor system and 574 00:23:11,743 --> 00:23:14,880 the capacity of the outing side 575 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,280 water reck lumakes plant. 576 00:23:18,884 --> 00:23:19,150 Inplant is 76 million gallons a 577 00:23:19,150 --> 00:23:21,150 day. 578 00:23:21,186 --> 00:23:23,388 We will not expand that plan. 579 00:23:23,388 --> 00:23:26,388 Any future wastewater is going 580 00:23:26,557 --> 00:23:27,910 to be constructed flew satellite 581 00:23:27,910 --> 00:23:28,826 systems. 582 00:23:28,826 --> 00:23:30,661 There are two other systems that 583 00:23:30,661 --> 00:23:33,998 have been approved by this board 584 00:23:33,998 --> 00:23:36,367 that are part of water 2120. 585 00:23:36,367 --> 00:23:39,370 The idea is that as we grow, the 586 00:23:39,370 --> 00:23:40,504 sewer plant at the south side of 587 00:23:40,504 --> 00:23:43,504 albuquerque would stay the same 588 00:23:44,508 --> 00:23:45,542 and we would build satellite 589 00:23:45,542 --> 00:23:47,942 facilities to serve that. 590 00:23:48,912 --> 00:23:49,746 We would reuse that water as a 591 00:23:49,746 --> 00:23:51,746 drinking water supply. 592 00:23:52,150 --> 00:23:52,315 That's part of the water 2120 593 00:23:52,315 --> 00:23:54,117 plan. 594 00:23:54,117 --> 00:23:56,517 We have existing deficiencies 595 00:23:56,553 --> 00:23:58,721 for capacity of ground water on 596 00:23:58,721 --> 00:24:00,556 the west side, and we have 597 00:24:00,556 --> 00:24:02,956 interceptor and other capacity 598 00:24:03,926 --> 00:24:06,926 constraints on the west side 599 00:24:10,990 --> 00:24:11,533 also. 600 00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:14,300 In terms of the packet, there's 601 00:24:14,300 --> 00:24:15,300 two additional is slides, 602 00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:17,300 infrastructure requirements as 603 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,707 we talked about we're phasing 604 00:24:18,707 --> 00:24:21,707 the infrastructure in over time. 605 00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:25,910 The first phase to construct the 606 00:24:28,450 --> 00:24:31,450 plant, the bosque plant has 4 607 00:24:33,254 --> 00:24:35,389 million gallons a day, so by 608 00:24:35,389 --> 00:24:37,792 constructing it we're freeing up 609 00:24:37,792 --> 00:24:40,192 4 million gallons a day. 610 00:24:41,662 --> 00:24:43,530 In addition, we're freeing up 611 00:24:43,530 --> 00:24:45,530 interceptor capacity. 612 00:24:48,902 --> 00:24:51,302 The bosque plant transitions 613 00:24:53,340 --> 00:24:55,408 existing use to free up 614 00:24:55,408 --> 00:24:57,808 interceptor capacity that allows 615 00:24:58,578 --> 00:25:00,546 santolina to construct and add 616 00:25:00,546 --> 00:25:01,214 new population in the first 617 00:25:01,214 --> 00:25:02,582 phase. 618 00:25:02,582 --> 00:25:04,984 In the second phase you're 619 00:25:04,984 --> 00:25:06,219 required to build a new 620 00:25:06,219 --> 00:25:08,421 wastewater treatment plant that 621 00:25:08,421 --> 00:25:10,256 is able to serve their reuse 622 00:25:10,256 --> 00:25:11,557 needs and the last phase of the 623 00:25:11,557 --> 00:25:14,557 development they will build a 624 00:25:14,660 --> 00:25:16,361 new wastewater plant or expand 625 00:25:16,361 --> 00:25:19,498 the plant and combine that with 626 00:25:19,498 --> 00:25:20,532 service water and use it as 627 00:25:20,532 --> 00:25:22,532 drinking water. 628 00:25:22,767 --> 00:25:24,236 Reuse becomes a big component. 629 00:25:24,236 --> 00:25:24,836 Using the existing supplies that 630 00:25:24,836 --> 00:25:26,836 we have. 631 00:25:26,873 --> 00:25:29,873 The is wastewater that is 632 00:25:29,874 --> 00:25:32,274 generated on-site at santolina 633 00:25:33,111 --> 00:25:34,946 will be future use for 634 00:25:34,946 --> 00:25:36,470 nonpotable but also drinking 635 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:38,470 water supply. 636 00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:40,451 With that, Madam Chair I'm glad 637 00:25:40,451 --> 00:25:41,952 to answer any questions. 638 00:25:41,952 --> 00:25:42,620 >> Councilor Jones: thank you, 639 00:25:42,620 --> 00:25:43,921 Mr. Stomp. 640 00:25:43,921 --> 00:25:44,388 Any questions? 641 00:25:44,388 --> 00:25:45,322 Councilor davis. 642 00:25:45,322 --> 00:25:47,258 >> Councilor Davis: thank you, 643 00:25:47,258 --> 00:25:48,910 Madam Chair, thank you, 644 00:25:48,910 --> 00:25:50,910 Mr. Attempt. 645 00:25:50,227 --> 00:25:53,163 I wanted to follow up on a 646 00:25:53,163 --> 00:25:54,498 couple questions we had 647 00:25:54,498 --> 00:25:56,166 previously and address the 648 00:25:56,166 --> 00:25:58,566 questions we heard tonight. 649 00:26:00,303 --> 00:26:03,273 I tried to boil down your big 650 00:26:03,273 --> 00:26:03,807 picture stuff to something I can 651 00:26:03,807 --> 00:26:05,807 understand. 652 00:26:08,544 --> 00:26:11,247 Under our water 2120 plan, we've 653 00:26:11,247 --> 00:26:13,382 accommodated for the area's 654 00:26:13,382 --> 00:26:14,583 planned growth. 655 00:26:14,583 --> 00:26:15,618 In other words, with all of the 656 00:26:15,618 --> 00:26:17,186 infrastructure that this board 657 00:26:17,186 --> 00:26:19,288 and this authority has planned, 658 00:26:19,288 --> 00:26:21,230 we can accommodate our planned 659 00:26:21,230 --> 00:26:23,759 growth with all of the pieces. 660 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:27,359 But the question I see about 661 00:26:27,429 --> 00:26:30,165 santolina is, are we going to 662 00:26:30,165 --> 00:26:33,100 expand our service area so much 663 00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:35,300 that 9% of the water and the 664 00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:37,538 capacity we need for future 665 00:26:37,538 --> 00:26:41,108 growth is allocated to a new 666 00:26:41,108 --> 00:26:45,308 area, coo -- to me that sounds 667 00:26:47,348 --> 00:26:49,250 like we'll have a 9% deficiency, 668 00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:50,184 or that would limit growth in 669 00:26:50,184 --> 00:26:52,184 the current area. 670 00:26:56,256 --> 00:26:59,256 Is that the trade-off here? 671 00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:01,594 >> so, in the water 2120 plan we 672 00:27:01,594 --> 00:27:03,163 did not make the distinction of 673 00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:05,163 where growth happen. 674 00:27:06,766 --> 00:27:08,735 Our service area as defined by 675 00:27:08,735 --> 00:27:09,269 state engineers is all of 676 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:11,269 bernalillo county. 677 00:27:12,271 --> 00:27:13,239 Santolina is not outside of 678 00:27:13,239 --> 00:27:14,840 service area. 679 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,809 The land use decisions are not 680 00:27:16,809 --> 00:27:18,711 made by us, and they dictate 681 00:27:18,711 --> 00:27:20,512 where that growth might occur. 682 00:27:20,512 --> 00:27:21,780 Our water supply would be 683 00:27:21,780 --> 00:27:23,649 available to serve that growth 684 00:27:23,649 --> 00:27:26,151 in santolina and because we 685 00:27:26,151 --> 00:27:27,919 allocate that supply to them, 686 00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:29,454 that would stop future 687 00:27:29,454 --> 00:27:30,589 allocation of that same amount 688 00:27:30,589 --> 00:27:32,589 of supply. 689 00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:34,893 Just like if we approved in the 690 00:27:34,893 --> 00:27:36,728 development agreement tonight, 691 00:27:36,728 --> 00:27:37,829 that would be service area 692 00:27:37,829 --> 00:27:39,564 committed to somebody else. 693 00:27:39,564 --> 00:27:41,899 However it's not going to take 694 00:27:41,899 --> 00:27:42,500 water supplies from our existing 695 00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:44,500 service area. 696 00:27:44,802 --> 00:27:46,237 We have enough supplies to serve 697 00:27:46,237 --> 00:27:48,239 within our existing boundary, 698 00:27:48,239 --> 00:27:48,539 that is the purple area on that 699 00:27:48,539 --> 00:27:50,539 graph. 700 00:27:51,975 --> 00:27:55,312 To the extent that we make a 701 00:27:55,312 --> 00:27:57,470 commitment today we're 702 00:27:57,470 --> 00:27:59,447 committing those resources into 703 00:28:00,183 --> 00:28:03,520 the future which could go to 704 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,388 land use or expansion in other 705 00:28:05,388 --> 00:28:06,189 areas. 706 00:28:06,189 --> 00:28:08,291 >> Councilor Davis: we talked 707 00:28:08,291 --> 00:28:10,493 about remaineders of available 708 00:28:10,493 --> 00:28:12,128 capacity 709 00:28:12,128 --> 00:28:13,950 capacity, east and west side 710 00:28:13,950 --> 00:28:15,950 being different. 711 00:28:15,231 --> 00:28:18,231 Santolina would take 9% of our 712 00:28:19,501 --> 00:28:21,501 future capacity, right? 713 00:28:22,638 --> 00:28:25,400 What percent of the west side 714 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:25,340 remainder would santolina take 715 00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:27,750 away? 716 00:28:27,750 --> 00:28:28,177 What would it limit the 717 00:28:28,177 --> 00:28:30,177 remainder to be? 718 00:28:30,479 --> 00:28:33,682 >> as I tried to state, and 719 00:28:33,682 --> 00:28:36,784 maybe I wasn't very good at it, 720 00:28:36,784 --> 00:28:38,987 we have a deficiency. 721 00:28:38,987 --> 00:28:41,387 We've legally committed our 722 00:28:41,856 --> 00:28:43,958 existing capacity both on the 723 00:28:43,958 --> 00:28:44,258 interceptor and ground water 724 00:28:44,258 --> 00:28:46,258 side. 725 00:28:46,794 --> 00:28:49,794 To our development agreement,s 726 00:28:50,798 --> 00:28:52,333 contracts, and our service area 727 00:28:52,333 --> 00:28:54,733 on the west side. 728 00:28:57,471 --> 00:28:59,906 We're at the service limit. 729 00:28:59,906 --> 00:29:02,142 It's going to need additional 730 00:29:02,142 --> 00:29:04,542 infrastructure or exchanges with 731 00:29:08,214 --> 00:29:10,214 the bosque plant. 732 00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:12,952 >> thank you to Madam Chair and 733 00:29:12,952 --> 00:29:13,853 the staff for

00:29:23,280 Can you explain where we are 738 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,970 procedurally in terms of what 739 00:29:25,970 --> 00:29:28,697 this board is doing tonight and 740 00:29:30,635 --> 00:29:33,205 what will be asked to do in the 741 00:29:33,205 --> 00:29:35,205 future? 742 00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:36,107 >> we are in the first step of 743 00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:38,107 the process. 744 00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:41,277 We've issued serviceability of 745 00:29:42,130 --> 00:29:43,514 the letter, which outlines the 746 00:29:43,514 --> 00:29:45,514 infrastructure requirements. 747 00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:47,151 We have to have an availability 748 00:29:47,151 --> 00:29:49,553 statement which is a commitment 749 00:29:49,553 --> 00:29:52,456 of service in some respects with 750 00:29:52,456 --> 00:29:55,456 the xepgds exception of the 751 00:29:55,793 --> 00:29:56,927 fact that it has to come before 752 00:29:56,927 --> 00:29:58,927 this board. 753 00:29:59,620 --> 00:30:01,932 There's been no commitment of 754 00:30:01,932 --> 00:30:03,300 service, we've outlined the 755 00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,300 infrastructure agreements that 756 00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:07,537 we need and that are proep 757 00:30:07,537 --> 00:30:07,837 posed 758 00:30:07,837 --> 00:30:09,837 there. 759 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,440 >> thank you. 760 00:30:13,576 --> 00:30:15,578 One of the speakers expressed 761 00:30:15,578 --> 00:30:17,978 concerns about return credits, 762 00:30:18,581 --> 00:30:21,550 can you speak to that issue? 763 00:30:21,550 --> 00:30:23,886 >> I don't believe that we have 764 00:30:23,886 --> 00:30:24,220 proposed unlawful return flow 765 00:30:24,220 --> 00:30:26,220 credit. 766 00:30:26,722 --> 00:30:29,525 I'm not sure what that means. 767 00:30:29,525 --> 00:30:31,925 In the bosque serviceability 768 00:30:31,927 --> 00:30:34,329 letter we proposed a new 769 00:30:34,329 --> 00:30:37,329 diversion on the river, that 770 00:30:37,532 --> 00:30:38,867 requires certain permitting to 771 00:30:38,867 --> 00:30:40,867 be done. 772 00:30:41,369 --> 00:30:45,540 If we request a return flow from 773 00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:48,976 the bosque we have to go through 774 00:30:48,976 --> 00:30:49,343 the process with the state 775 00:30:49,343 --> 00:30:51,343 engineer. 776 00:30:51,645 --> 00:30:54,810 We've said that in the 777 00:30:54,810 --> 00:30:56,810 serviceability statement. 778 00:30:57,551 --> 00:30:59,953 They're not permits that would 779 00:30:59,953 --> 00:31:01,521 never be required, but they 780 00:31:01,521 --> 00:31:03,521 could be required. 781 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,592 >> we also heard a lot of 782 00:31:05,592 --> 00:31:07,992 question about ground water. 783 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,597 Would you mind going back to the 784 00:31:10,597 --> 00:31:11,898 chart with the red graph and 785 00:31:11,898 --> 00:31:13,898 blue graph. 786 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:16,869 I don't know what number it was. 787 00:31:16,869 --> 00:31:19,269 >> this is it here? 788 00:31:19,639 --> 00:31:21,639 >> yes. 789 00:31:23,109 --> 00:31:25,111 Could you talk about what that 790 00:31:25,111 --> 00:31:27,111 difference between that 791 00:31:27,446 --> 00:31:30,446 available ground line and in 792 00:31:30,916 --> 00:31:34,516 insolid bar means in the chart? 793 00:31:34,553 --> 00:31:34,987 >> sure, I would be glad to do 794 00:31:34,987 --> 00:31:36,987 it. 795 00:31:37,889 --> 00:31:39,925 So, when we looked at the total 796 00:31:39,925 --> 00:31:41,960 demand on the west side and the 797 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,360 existing ground water capacity 798 00:31:45,330 --> 00:31:47,699 we have, what we have available 799 00:31:47,699 --> 00:31:48,466 ground water is water that is 800 00:31:48,466 --> 00:31:50,466 available for today. 801 00:31:52,136 --> 00:31:54,538 we have more wells on the west 802 00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:57,538 side than we're using because 803 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,147 they have high arsenic arsenic 804 00:32:04,147 --> 00:32:05,282 concentrations. 805 00:32:05,282 --> 00:32:08,882 If you project what we're doing 806 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,188 today and our legal commitments 807 00:32:12,188 --> 00:32:14,591 in the future, even if we added 808 00:32:14,591 --> 00:32:16,426 the existing ground water that's 809 00:32:16,426 --> 00:32:18,127 unavailable, and it's 810 00:32:18,127 --> 00:32:19,295 unavailable because of arsenic 811 00:32:19,295 --> 00:32:21,464 treatment, we don't have enough 812 00:32:21,464 --> 00:32:22,532 to meet the obligations on the 813 00:32:22,532 --> 00:32:24,532 west side. 814 00:32:26,235 --> 00:32:29,235 We're in a deficit scenario. 815 00:32:31,940 --> 00:32:33,242 >> Mr. Stomp, can I ask the 816 00:32:33,242 --> 00:32:35,642 basic question of whether 817 00:32:36,511 --> 00:32:37,579 santolina increases pumping of 818 00:32:37,579 --> 00:32:38,847 ground water? 819 00:32:38,847 --> 00:32:41,247 >> the answer is no. 820 00:32:41,983 --> 00:32:44,185 The way this plan was formulated 821 00:32:44,185 --> 00:32:47,785 was to be consistent with the 822 00:32:48,189 --> 00:32:48,423 policy, which is 20 823 00:32:48,423 --> 00:32:50,423 120. 824 00:32:53,940 --> 00:32:55,963 It limits ground water use by 825 00:32:55,963 --> 00:32:58,363 transitioning to other supplies. 826 00:32:58,399 --> 00:32:58,699 That's what water 2120 is all 827 00:32:58,699 --> 00:33:00,699 about. 828 00:33:00,734 --> 00:33:03,134 No it will not. 829 00:33:04,571 --> 00:33:07,641 I will be glad to do a 830 00:33:07,641 --> 00:33:09,776 presentation to show how we 831 00:33:09,776 --> 00:33:12,776 think these resources will be 832 00:33:14,314 --> 00:33:15,115 allocated and how it meets water 833 00:33:15,115 --> 00:33:16,883 2120. 834 00:33:16,883 --> 00:33:17,250 >> Councilor Jones: commissioner 835 00:33:17,250 --> 00:33:17,984 o'malley. 836 00:33:17,984 --> 00:33:18,852 >> Commissioner o'Malley: thank 837 00:33:18,852 --> 00:33:20,420 you, Madam Chair. 838 00:33:20,420 --> 00:33:23,420 There's been discussion back and 839 00:33:24,557 --> 00:33:28,157 forth about the source of water. 840 00:33:29,295 --> 00:33:32,895 You mentioned that it looks like 841 00:33:33,265 --> 00:33:36,101 like -- the well water for 842 00:33:36,101 --> 00:33:37,936 santolina is not ground water. 843 00:33:37,936 --> 00:33:40,936 It's since we're changing to 844 00:33:44,420 --> 00:33:45,477 mostly ebriver -- river water. 845 00:33:45,477 --> 00:33:47,877 Because there's changing in 846 00:33:48,179 --> 00:33:49,581 needs of the community, but 847 00:33:49,581 --> 00:33:50,548 further down where the water 848 00:33:50,548 --> 00:33:52,548 ends up. 849 00:33:52,684 --> 00:33:55,219 I'm hearing it's not the same 850 00:33:55,219 --> 00:33:56,520 water or not the same source of 851 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:57,421 water, but it's the same source 852 00:33:57,421 --> 00:33:59,421 of water. 853 00:33:59,590 --> 00:34:02,259 You're changing it by cleaning 854 00:34:02,259 --> 00:34:03,360 it up, but it's really same 855 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,261 source of water. 856 00:34:04,261 --> 00:34:05,629 I think that's important for 857 00:34:05,629 --> 00:34:07,629 people to understand. 858 00:34:07,965 --> 00:34:09,990 We've got two sources of water. 859 00:34:09,990 --> 00:34:12,990 Water coming down the river 860 00:34:13,203 --> 00:34:15,772 which is a portion of it is 861 00:34:15,772 --> 00:34:17,674 private water which we secured 862 00:34:17,674 --> 00:34:19,674 way back when. 863 00:34:19,743 --> 00:34:20,710 Which it effects the 864 00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:22,710 agricultural use. 865 00:34:25,982 --> 00:34:27,717 We've been pretty generous in 866 00:34:27,717 --> 00:34:29,785 holding water and making 867 00:34:29,785 --> 00:34:32,185 available for agricultural use, 868 00:34:32,221 --> 00:34:34,890 and I hope we can continue that. 869 00:34:34,890 --> 00:34:36,558 Of course, we don't know what 870 00:34:36,558 --> 00:34:40,758 the situation will be in in the 871 00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:43,965 future in terms of runoff and 872 00:34:43,965 --> 00:34:45,965 water. 873 00:34:49,871 --> 00:34:52,271 Am I misunderstanding this? 874 00:34:52,707 --> 00:34:55,107 We're asking this large 875 00:34:55,443 --> 00:34:57,979 development to say, yes you're 876 00:34:57,979 --> 00:35:00,815 going to put in a system to 877 00:35:00,815 --> 00:35:02,983 reuse, you're going to clean it. 878 00:35:02,983 --> 00:35:04,218 You're going to put in 879 00:35:04,218 --> 00:35:06,218 wastewater statement, you're 880 00:35:09,790 --> 00:35:11,491 going to have pay it, and we're 881 00:35:11,491 --> 00:35:12,426 really talking about two sources 882 00:35:12,426 --> 00:35:14,426 of water. 883 00:35:17,697 --> 00:35:20,600 Am I wrong in that? 884 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,468 >> I don't think you're wrong. 885 00:35:22,468 --> 00:35:25,380 For example, if you're pumping 886 00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:28,380 ground water and you a 887 00:35:29,442 --> 00:35:31,811 wastewater return flow, is that 888 00:35:31,811 --> 00:35:34,211 wastewater or ground water? 889 00:35:34,346 --> 00:35:34,647 It's the use of that same ground 890 00:35:34,647 --> 00:35:36,647 water. 891 00:35:36,949 --> 00:35:38,817 If you're diverting service 892 00:35:38,817 --> 00:35:40,252 water, you're not consuming it, 893 00:35:40,252 --> 00:35:41,453 it's available through 894 00:35:41,453 --> 00:35:43,453 wastewater returns. 895 00:35:45,624 --> 00:35:47,192 It's still surface water. 896 00:35:47,192 --> 00:35:48,260 Nonetheless it's the same source 897 00:35:48,260 --> 00:35:49,494 of supply. 898 00:35:49,494 --> 00:35:50,195 People have different ways of 899 00:35:50,195 --> 00:35:52,195 saying it. 900 00:35:52,263 --> 00:35:55,300 But the answer is yes, we have 901 00:35:55,300 --> 00:35:57,802 surface water and that surface 902 00:35:57,802 --> 00:36:00,138 water can be native water and we 903 00:36:00,138 --> 00:36:01,872 have ground water and we have 904 00:36:01,872 --> 00:36:04,272 return flows or wastewater 905 00:36:05,676 --> 00:36:06,877 associated with those supplies. 906 00:36:06,877 --> 00:36:08,877 >> Commissioner o'Malley: it's 907 00:36:09,346 --> 00:36:10,547 the same source of water? 908 00:36:10,547 --> 00:36:12,547 >> correct. 909 00:36:13,584 --> 00:36:14,151 >> Councilor Jones: thank you. 910 00:36:14,151 --> 00:36:14,885 Commissioner quezada. 911 00:36:14,885 --> 00:36:17,285 >> Commissioner Quezada: we know 912 00:36:17,354 --> 00:36:20,390 that the growth of the city has 913 00:36:20,390 --> 00:36:21,825 always been in the last 20 years 914 00:36:21,825 --> 00:36:24,225 on the west side. 915 00:36:28,297 --> 00:36:30,990 All the way a far up a ventana 916 00:36:30,990 --> 00:36:32,168 ranch, the city of albuquerque 917 00:36:32,168 --> 00:36:34,236 has allowed developers to build 918 00:36:34,236 --> 00:36:34,537 homes all across the southwest 919 00:36:34,537 --> 00:36:36,537 mesa. 920 00:36:37,473 --> 00:36:39,642 My question is why haven't we 921 00:36:39,642 --> 00:36:41,410 had those developers look at how 922 00:36:41,410 --> 00:36:44,413 they use water and why weren't 923 00:36:44,413 --> 00:36:48,130 they part of this whole plan? 924 00:36:48,383 --> 00:36:50,152 Why didn't they pay for water 925 00:36:50,152 --> 00:36:53,152 treatment on the west side? 926 00:36:54,789 --> 00:36:56,858 We look at statistics on thou 927 00:36:56,858 --> 00:36:59,894 city is growing and maybe not 928 00:36:59,894 --> 00:37:02,290 growing, but my concern is is 929 00:37:02,290 --> 00:37:05,629 that the slow growth that is 930 00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:09,267 taking place is moving west. 931 00:37:10,700 --> 00:37:12,406 Why did the city of albuquerque 932 00:37:12,406 --> 00:37:14,806 not require developers before 933 00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:16,843 we're talking about this big 934 00:37:16,843 --> 00:37:20,800 development on the west side on 935 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,148 how we use water and the way 936 00:37:22,148 --> 00:37:25,185 water is being used and reused 937 00:37:25,185 --> 00:37:25,518 and all of these sorts of 938 00:37:25,518 --> 00:37:27,518 things? 939 00:37:27,654 --> 00:37:29,255 Can you answer that question? 940 00:37:29,255 --> 00:37:30,757 >> I don't know that I can 941 00:37:30,757 --> 00:37:31,657 answer why the city of 942 00:37:31,657 --> 00:37:33,559 albuquerque did that. 943 00:37:33,559 --> 00:37:35,995 As the policies for the city 944 00:37:35,995 --> 00:37:38,995 prior to the water authority, 945 00:37:39,131 --> 00:37:41,400 and now water 2120, we serve 946 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,350 those developments that were 947 00:37:43,350 --> 00:37:45,537 approved land use whether it was 948 00:37:45,537 --> 00:37:47,973 city or county, we served those 949 00:37:47,973 --> 00:37:50,208 consistent with the policies. 950 00:37:50,208 --> 00:37:52,770 Our policies have changed as 951 00:37:52,770 --> 00:37:53,411 we've learned and managed and 952 00:37:53,411 --> 00:37:55,460 continued to grow and our 953 00:37:55,460 --> 00:37:56,581 understanding of the various 954 00:37:56,581 --> 00:37:57,150 supplies our policies have 955 00:37:57,150 --> 00:37:59,150 changed. 956 00:37:59,417 --> 00:38:00,285 In the past we're 100% ground 957 00:38:00,285 --> 00:38:02,285 water. 958 00:38:03,154 --> 00:38:04,555 When we understood that was not 959 00:38:04,555 --> 00:38:06,490 sustainable, we changed to 960 00:38:06,490 --> 00:38:08,890 surface, ground and reuse. 961 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,128 Now we're going to have to go 962 00:38:11,128 --> 00:38:12,796 further with reuse and conserve 963 00:38:12,796 --> 00:38:14,796 more and more. 964 00:38:15,399 --> 00:38:16,867 All of these things play into 965 00:38:16,867 --> 00:38:17,835 how growth has occurred in 966 00:38:17,835 --> 00:38:19,803 albuquerque over time. 967 00:38:19,803 --> 00:38:23,730 The growth that did occur did 968 00:38:23,730 --> 00:38:25,842 pay their fair share, just like 969 00:38:25,842 --> 00:38:26,142 everybody else paid their fair 970 00:38:26,142 --> 00:38:27,744 share. 971 00:38:27,744 --> 00:38:28,745 The charge is going to be based 972 00:38:28,745 --> 00:38:30,745 on infrastructure requirements 973 00:38:32,248 --> 00:38:35,848 as part of water 2120, before it 974 00:38:42,491 --> 00:38:42,791 was based on purchasing water 975 00:38:42,791 --> 00:38:43,926 roirth 976 00:38:43,926 --> 00:38:44,660 rights, the basis for that 977 00:38:44,660 --> 00:38:47,660 calculation has changed and the 978 00:38:47,930 --> 00:38:48,263 infrastructure requirements has 979 00:38:48,263 --> 00:38:50,263 changed. 980 00:38:50,766 --> 00:38:53,350 We're not changing the way we do 981 00:38:53,350 --> 00:38:54,369 business, what's changed is the 982 00:38:54,369 --> 00:38:55,470 understanding and how we serve 983 00:38:55,470 --> 00:38:57,305 those communities. 984 00:38:57,305 --> 00:38:58,840 They've paid their fair share, 985 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,241 what our understanding of the 986 00:39:00,241 --> 00:39:02,443 fair share was at the time. 987 00:39:02,443 --> 00:39:04,443 Our policies change. 988 00:39:06,848 --> 00:39:07,415 Water 2120 is not the end of the 989 00:39:07,415 --> 00:39:09,415 story. 990 00:39:09,417 --> 00:39:11,585 We're going to come back and 991 00:39:11,585 --> 00:39:13,985 revisit this and evaluate 992 00:39:14,488 --> 00:39:15,689 climate change, and we've in 993 00:39:15,689 --> 00:39:17,224 incorporated for climate change 994 00:39:17,224 --> 00:39:17,958 with the best available 995 00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:19,393 information. 996 00:39:19,393 --> 00:39:21,628 It could get worse. 997 00:39:21,628 --> 00:39:24,464 We have that process in place. 998 00:39:24,464 --> 00:39:24,898 Those policies are going to 999 00:39:24,898 --> 00:39:26,898 change. 1000 00:39:29,903 --> 00:39:31,304 Our conservation plan is 110 1001 00:39:31,304 --> 00:39:32,472 gallons per day. 1002 00:39:32,472 --> 00:39:35,275 We're going to continue to grow 1003 00:39:35,275 --> 00:39:36,309 and serve our customers, and our 1004 00:39:36,309 --> 00:39:38,711 policies are going to continue 1005 00:39:38,711 --> 00:39:41,547 to evolve as that does too. 1006 00:39:41,547 --> 00:39:42,915 I hope that answer your question 1007 00:39:42,915 --> 00:39:44,915 commissioner quezada. 1008 00:39:44,950 --> 00:39:45,651 >> Councilor Jones: thank you. 1009 00:39:45,651 --> 00:39:46,685 Councilor pe}a. 1010 00:39:46,685 --> 00:39:48,353 >> Councilor Pe}a: thank you, 1011 00:39:48,353 --> 00:39:50,353 Madam Chair. 1012 00:39:50,923 --> 00:39:53,580 Mr. Stomp, answer basic 1013 00:39:53,580 --> 00:39:55,580 questions for me. 1014 00:39:56,194 --> 00:39:59,794 We're talking about the water of 1015 00:40:00,650 --> 00:40:03,650 santolina and any other proposed 1016 00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,801 development whether small big. 1017 00:40:07,390 --> 00:40:10,639 When we look at the population 1018 00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:11,676 growth it ends at a million or 1019 00:40:11,676 --> 00:40:13,676 something like that. 1020 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,130 Does the amount of water we use 1021 00:40:16,130 --> 00:40:18,130 change? 1022 00:40:18,649 --> 00:40:20,417 >> Madam Chair, councilor pe}a, 1023 00:40:20,417 --> 00:40:24,170 yes, it does change because we 1024 00:40:25,550 --> 00:40:27,190 have a conivation goal. 1025 00:40:27,190 --> 00:40:29,659 That's probably not the end of 1026 00:40:29,659 --> 00:40:31,328 the story, we're going to reduce 1027 00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:33,328 our use. 1028 00:40:35,899 --> 00:40:37,667 We've reduced our use 1gpc even 1029 00:40:37,667 --> 00:40:38,868 though it's a drought. 1030 00:40:38,868 --> 00:40:39,802 We're going to continue to 1031 00:40:39,802 --> 00:40:41,802 change that. 1032 00:40:42,138 --> 00:40:45,138 We're going to continue to 1033 00:40:45,341 --> 00:40:48,341 evolve it in that way. 1034 00:40:49,511 --> 00:40:49,778 Our demand has reduesed 1035 00:40:49,778 --> 00:40:50,790 ed 1036 00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:50,346 ed 1037 00:40:50,346 --> 00:40:51,814 ed 1038 00:40:51,814 --> 00:40:52,147 ed -- 1039 00:40:52,147 --> 00:40:54,830 reduced. 1040 00:40:54,830 --> 00:40:55,817 I would consider that those 1041 00:40:55,817 --> 00:40:57,786 things are -- are we always 1042 00:40:57,786 --> 00:40:58,860 going to continue to use less 1043 00:40:58,860 --> 00:40:59,921 water? 1044 00:40:59,921 --> 00:41:00,856 I would say no that's going to 1045 00:41:00,856 --> 00:41:02,856 be the case. 1046 00:41:04,459 --> 00:41:05,660 Demand is going to increase some 1047 00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:06,828 day, of course. 1048 00:41:06,828 --> 00:41:07,595 >> Councilor Pe}a: I should be 1049 00:41:07,595 --> 00:41:09,595 more clear. 1050 00:41:09,997 --> 00:41:13,301 My question is, whether we build 1051 00:41:13,301 --> 00:41:16,704 within the city now or whether 1052 00:41:16,704 --> 00:41:19,974 we add a development, is the 1053 00:41:19,974 --> 00:41:22,109 amount of water necessary 1054 00:41:22,109 --> 00:41:24,178 outside of all of the reuse 1055 00:41:24,178 --> 00:41:27,178 measure we're going to take, 1056 00:41:28,915 --> 00:41:32,219 will I I think I under the question. 1057 00:41:32,219 --> 00:41:33,920 In 20 1058 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,920 120 we assumed that 1059 00:41:36,589 --> 00:41:39,589 population growth, it was inside 1060 00:41:40,126 --> 00:41:42,462 or outside the boundaries, the 1061 00:41:42,462 --> 00:41:43,496 water use associated with that 1062 00:41:43,496 --> 00:41:46,496 population growth will be the 1063 00:41:47,366 --> 00:41:48,267 same no matter where it occurs. 1064 00:41:48,267 --> 00:41:49,602 >> Councilor Pe}a: so, it 1065 00:41:49,602 --> 00:41:51,602 doesn't change? 1066 00:41:54,907 --> 00:41:58,430 So whether it's all of a sudden 1067 00:41:58,430 --> 00:42:00,679 we had the availability to buy 1068 00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:02,781 and purchase property somewhere 1069 00:42:02,781 --> 00:42:03,748 else outside, it would remain 1070 00:42:03,748 --> 00:42:05,748 the same. 1071 00:42:07,619 --> 00:42:10,588 So my other question is that in 1072 00:42:10,588 --> 00:42:12,590 terms of the infrastructure, so 1073 00:42:12,590 --> 00:42:14,990 there's probably some concerns 1074 00:42:15,126 --> 00:42:18,126 in terms of infrastructure being 1075 00:42:18,763 --> 00:42:22,132 built as we grow the city, would 1076 00:42:22,132 --> 00:42:23,667 those needs be comparable if we 1077 00:42:23,667 --> 00:42:26,667 just grew within the city 1078 00:42:26,770 --> 00:42:28,805 because of old infrastructure? 1079 00:42:28,805 --> 00:42:30,941 >> that's a very difficult 1080 00:42:30,941 --> 00:42:32,342 question to ask, it really 1081 00:42:32,342 --> 00:42:34,742 depends on the demand. 1082 00:42:36,790 --> 00:42:39,790 If the demand in the 1083 00:42:42,285 --> 00:42:42,585 redevelopment areas, like knob 1084 00:42:42,585 --> 00:42:44,585 hill. 1085 00:42:44,854 --> 00:42:47,854 The demand stays the same. 1086 00:42:48,157 --> 00:42:51,757 If we build high rise, we're 1087 00:42:53,362 --> 00:42:54,363 going to need more demand and 1088 00:42:54,363 --> 00:42:56,980 fire protection needs. 1089 00:42:56,980 --> 00:42:56,565 It will require additional 1090 00:42:56,565 --> 00:42:58,500 infrastructure. 1091 00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:00,235 We have that going on right now. 1092 00:43:00,235 --> 00:43:02,235 There's development along 1093 00:43:03,710 --> 00:43:06,710 central avenue where it's not 1094 00:43:06,207 --> 00:43:08,209 capable for water demands. 1095 00:43:08,209 --> 00:43:09,344 Developers are responsible for 1096 00:43:09,344 --> 00:43:10,145 building water infrastructure to 1097 00:43:10,145 --> 00:43:11,546 do that. 1098 00:43:11,546 --> 00:43:13,470 It's depending on what the 1099 00:43:13,470 --> 00:43:14,983 development looks like. 1100 00:43:14,983 --> 00:43:17,418 Whether it's inside or out 1101 00:43:17,418 --> 00:43:17,785 infrastructure can still be 1102 00:43:17,785 --> 00:43:18,786 required. 1103 00:43:18,786 --> 00:43:19,153 >> Councilor Pe}a: one last 1104 00:43:19,153 --> 00:43:21,153 question. 1105 00:43:23,257 --> 00:43:25,759 So if we don't do this 1106 00:43:25,759 --> 00:43:28,159 development, you know, really 1107 00:43:28,662 --> 00:43:30,970 we're growing as a city and as 1108 00:43:30,970 --> 00:43:32,970 commissioner quezada stated, 1109 00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:32,666 people are moving to the west 1110 00:43:32,666 --> 00:43:34,666 side. 1111 00:43:35,168 --> 00:43:38,905 One of my fears is that I'm born 1112 00:43:38,905 --> 00:43:42,142 and raised in the south valley 1113 00:43:42,142 --> 00:43:45,712 and all the agriculture and farm 1114 00:43:45,712 --> 00:43:48,447 lands and how unique it is to 1115 00:43:48,447 --> 00:43:51,447 the city of albuquerque, my 1116 00:43:53,185 --> 00:43:56,185 concern is that would densify 1117 00:43:57,890 --> 00:44:00,890 that area especially with what 1118 00:44:01,260 --> 00:44:02,794 you have -- you have the abc 1119 00:44:02,794 --> 00:44:04,429 comprehensive plan that is in 1120 00:44:04,429 --> 00:44:06,298 hopes that the county is going 1121 00:44:06,298 --> 00:44:08,298 to adopt that. 1122 00:44:10,902 --> 00:44:12,704 I see that is densifying the 1123 00:44:12,704 --> 00:44:14,672 south valley and it would have 1124 00:44:14,672 --> 00:44:17,672 the same growth and need. 1125 00:44:19,811 --> 00:44:23,411 I'm afraid that it would egroed 1126 00:44:23,914 --> 00:44:24,348 egroed -- erode the south 1127 00:44:24,348 --> 00:44:26,348 valley. 1128 00:44:28,285 --> 00:44:30,685 >> it development did occurred 1129 00:44:31,355 --> 00:44:35,555 in this area or some place else, 1130 00:44:35,926 --> 00:44:37,761 it's going to effect what it 1131 00:44:37,761 --> 00:44:39,761 looks like. 1132 00:44:40,630 --> 00:44:43,233 Where would people locate if 1133 00:44:43,233 --> 00:44:45,633 santolina wasn't developed, I 1134 00:44:46,102 --> 00:44:46,970 don't think I can answer that 1135 00:44:46,970 --> 00:44:48,905 question. 1136 00:44:48,905 --> 00:44:50,905 >> Councilor Jones: commissioner 1137 00:44:52,740 --> 00:44:52,742 o'malley. 1138 00:44:52,742 --> 00:44:54,742 >> Commissioner o'Malley: I 1139 00:44:55,878 --> 00:44:58,614 think I just wanted to lay out 1140 00:44:58,614 --> 00:44:59,848 that when we're doing 1141 00:44:59,848 --> 00:45:00,949 redevelopment projects we have 1142 00:45:00,949 --> 00:45:02,949 existing infrastructure. 1143 00:45:03,385 --> 00:45:06,385 I'm glad we're putting resources 1144 00:45:06,722 --> 00:45:09,122 into existing infrastructure and 1145 00:45:11,326 --> 00:45:13,326 we have infrastructure. 1146 00:45:13,461 --> 00:45:15,763 Frankly that money didn't get 1147 00:45:15,763 --> 00:45:19,363 put in there when taxes were 1148 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,269 being paid for years and years, 1149 00:45:21,269 --> 00:45:23,738 so we have the infrastructure 1150 00:45:23,738 --> 00:45:25,973 that needed rehab and I'm glad 1151 00:45:25,973 --> 00:45:27,973 we're do it. 1152 00:45:29,276 --> 00:45:30,544 We're having to rehab that no 1153 00:45:30,544 --> 00:45:32,944 matter where the infrastructure 1154 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:33,747 is, it's not totally new 1155 00:45:33,747 --> 00:45:35,747 infrastructure. 1156 00:45:35,949 --> 00:45:38,852 I think to be -- we've never 1157 00:45:38,852 --> 00:45:41,454 seen anything like this in terms 1158 00:45:41,454 --> 00:45:44,457 of how large the development is. 1159 00:45:44,457 --> 00:45:44,891 We're talking about thousands of 1160 00:45:44,891 --> 00:45:46,891 acres. 1161 00:45:47,327 --> 00:45:49,329 We've never seen request for a 1162 00:45:49,329 --> 00:45:50,897 zone change that large. 1163 00:45:50,897 --> 00:45:52,832 We've never dealt with the 1164 00:45:52,832 --> 00:45:53,199 development agreement of this 1165 00:45:53,199 --> 00:45:54,834 nature. 1166 00:45:54,834 --> 00:45:57,670 It's all new to us. 1167 00:45:57,670 --> 00:46:01,270 I believe the water authority is 1168 00:46:03,842 --> 00:46:05,410 really -- I think we're doing 1169 00:46:05,410 --> 00:46:08,410 great work making sure existing 1170 00:46:09,247 --> 00:46:11,647 rate payers, and the 1171 00:46:11,917 --> 00:46:14,317 agricultural need, because it's 1172 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,188 important to balance those. 1173 00:46:17,188 --> 00:46:18,560 I just wanted to make that 1174 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,456 statement because I think 1175 00:46:20,725 --> 00:46:21,159 sometimes we get a lot of 1176 00:46:21,159 --> 00:46:23,159 criticism. 1177 00:46:24,729 --> 00:46:26,430 I just want to make that in 1178 00:46:26,430 --> 00:46:28,830 terms of bond capacity. 1179 00:46:29,166 --> 00:46:30,401 We're putting a lot of resources 1180 00:46:30,401 --> 00:46:32,202 into capital. 1181 00:46:32,202 --> 00:46:33,971 Not only in the existing areas, 1182 00:46:33,971 --> 00:46:36,373 but places all over the west 1183 00:46:36,373 --> 00:46:36,740 side that have not been 1184 00:46:36,740 --> 00:46:37,941 rehabbed. 1185 00:46:37,941 --> 00:46:39,743 I think it's important that the 1186 00:46:39,743 --> 00:46:42,743 resources go there as well. 1187 00:46:43,947 --> 00:46:45,817 It looks like the plan, when 1188 00:46:45,817 --> 00:46:47,150 you're looking at this picture, 1189 00:46:47,150 --> 00:46:48,518 you're looking at reuse. 1190 00:46:48,518 --> 00:46:49,886 We're going to have to clean up 1191 00:46:49,886 --> 00:46:52,286 a lot of water. 1192 00:46:52,889 --> 00:46:54,724 This isn't the standard plan. 1193 00:46:54,724 --> 00:46:57,260 This isn't we're just going to 1194 00:46:57,260 --> 00:47:00,626 take water, we're looking at a 1195 00:47:00,830 --> 00:47:03,230 whole new approach delivery. 1196 00:47:05,567 --> 00:47:07,736 I think it's very thoughtful and 1197 00:47:07,736 --> 00:47:09,538 we'll see as we move forward. 1198 00:47:09,538 --> 00:47:11,139 I just think you have thought a 1199 00:47:11,139 --> 00:47:12,974 lot of things through, I 1200 00:47:12,974 --> 00:47:13,909 appreciate that. 1201 00:47:13,909 --> 00:47:14,376 >> Councilor Jones: commissioner 1202 00:47:14,376 --> 00:47:16,278 quezada. 1203 00:47:16,278 --> 00:47:18,678 >> Commissioner Quezada: we did 1204 00:47:21,149 --> 00:47:23,117 put new infrastructure in los 1205 00:47:23,117 --> 00:47:25,319 padillas, and we're able to do 1206 00:47:25,319 --> 00:47:26,454 that with the help of water 1207 00:47:26,454 --> 00:47:28,854 authority and bernalillo county. 1208 00:47:30,858 --> 00:47:32,993 There's still parts of the unin 1209 00:47:32,993 --> 00:47:33,327 unincorporated area that is 1210 00:47:33,327 --> 00:47:35,327 needed. 1211 00:47:37,265 --> 00:47:39,666 I wanted to address the comment 1212 00:47:39,666 --> 00:47:43,266 from councilor pe}a, I'm the 1213 00:47:45,505 --> 00:47:47,700 commissioner and I overlook the 1214 00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:49,700 south valley. 1215 00:47:49,642 --> 00:47:53,842 I spent the first year and a 1216 00:47:53,980 --> 00:47:56,980 half to protect anderson farms 1217 00:47:57,283 --> 00:48:00,720 and I lost a big chunk of it. 1218 00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:03,880 Every week, there's people who 1219 00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,658 own land in the south valley 1220 00:48:05,658 --> 00:48:07,860 that come from families that 1221 00:48:07,860 --> 00:48:08,660 were farmers and growing and 1222 00:48:08,660 --> 00:48:10,660 selling it. 1223 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:12,497 They're moving to the northeast 1224 00:48:12,497 --> 00:48:14,897 heights where they have 1225 00:48:14,933 --> 00:48:16,100 amenities and different types of 1226 00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:18,100 ways of living. 1227 00:48:18,103 --> 00:48:19,571 We have developers looking at 1228 00:48:19,571 --> 00:48:22,571 that land all the time. 1229 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,275 It goes to the cpc, it doesn't 1230 00:48:24,275 --> 00:48:26,275 come to me. 1231 00:48:28,790 --> 00:48:31,282 If the cpc approves on that 1232 00:48:31,282 --> 00:48:31,615 agricultural land, it's lost 1233 00:48:31,615 --> 00:48:33,615 forever. 1234 00:48:34,151 --> 00:48:36,420 As the city grows, I'd like to 1235 00:48:36,420 --> 00:48:37,540 not see it grow on the 1236 00:48:37,540 --> 00:48:39,540 agricultural land. 1237 00:48:39,423 --> 00:48:42,159 I'd like to keep that for the 1238 00:48:42,159 --> 00:48:43,994 future of albuquerque and 1239 00:48:43,994 --> 00:48:46,363 bernalillo county because that's 1240 00:48:46,363 --> 00:48:46,696 makes us unique than any other 1241 00:48:46,696 --> 00:48:48,164 county. 1242 00:48:48,164 --> 00:48:50,333 I wanted to address that because 1243 00:48:50,333 --> 00:48:50,633 you don't see that much in the 1244 00:48:50,633 --> 00:48:52,633 city. 1245 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:55,338 I see it in a weeky basis in the 1246 00:48:55,338 --> 00:48:57,338 county. 1247 00:48:57,940 --> 00:48:59,442 People are going after that 1248 00:48:59,442 --> 00:49:01,778 agricultural land, they want to 1249 00:49:01,778 --> 00:49:03,778 build apartments. 1250 00:49:04,980 --> 00:49:05,781 And that's not what the 1251 00:49:05,781 --> 00:49:07,683 southivaly is for. 1252 00:49:07,683 --> 00:49:08,951 We have to figure out the 1253 00:49:08,951 --> 00:49:11,653 compromise, and how do we serve 1254 00:49:11,653 --> 00:49:12,187 the needs of how this city 1255 00:49:12,187 --> 00:49:14,890 grows. 1256 00:49:14,890 --> 00:49:16,158 I think we'll differ on how it's 1257 00:49:16,158 --> 00:49:16,525 growing, or the way it's 1258 00:49:16,525 --> 00:49:18,525 growing. 1259 00:49:19,527 --> 00:49:22,664 I don't rely on statistics, I 1260 00:49:22,664 --> 00:49:25,366 rely on what I see out my door 1261 00:49:25,366 --> 00:49:26,167 and window when I'm driving in 1262 00:49:26,167 --> 00:49:28,167 albuquerque every day. 1263 00:49:29,303 --> 00:49:30,138 Those are my concerns and 1264 00:49:30,138 --> 00:49:32,138 fights. 1265 00:49:32,273 --> 00:49:32,974 I have to agree with 1266 00:49:32,974 --> 00:49:35,374 commissioner o'malley that we 1267 00:49:36,110 --> 00:49:39,213 have to really look at how water 1268 00:49:39,213 --> 00:49:40,547 is used because that's precious 1269 00:49:40,547 --> 00:49:42,547 to everybody. 1270 00:49:44,384 --> 00:49:48,155 It should be just as precious to 1271 00:49:48,155 --> 00:49:50,555 any developers moving west. 1272 00:49:51,224 --> 00:49:53,326 Without water, why build 1273 00:49:53,326 --> 00:49:54,160 anything and try to provide that 1274 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,160 for the city. 1275 00:49:57,300 --> 00:49:57,664 I wanted to address that. 1276 00:49:57,664 --> 00:49:59,532 Thank you. 1277 00:49:59,532 --> 00:50:01,932 >> Councilor Jones: thank you. 1278 00:50:03,736 --> 00:50:05,371 >> thank you, and I think we 1279 00:50:05,371 --> 00:50:05,938 have many months to discuss 1280 00:50:05,938 --> 00:50:07,938 this. 1281 00:50:08,107 --> 00:50:09,408 We didn't talk about dollars and 1282 00:50:09,408 --> 00:50:11,408 cents here. 1283 00:50:11,844 --> 00:50:15,470 And I know some of the public 1284 00:50:15,470 --> 00:50:17,883 comment were about full cost 1285 00:50:17,883 --> 00:50:19,985 recovery, or premature given the 1286 00:50:19,985 --> 00:50:22,354 water supply charge analysis. 1287 00:50:22,354 --> 00:50:24,789 Could you speak to those points? 1288 00:50:24,789 --> 00:50:27,789 >> I think the water supply 1289 00:50:28,359 --> 00:50:30,161 charge will be coming, and the 1290 00:50:30,161 --> 00:50:30,862 discussion will be soon I 1291 00:50:30,862 --> 00:50:32,296 believe. 1292 00:50:32,296 --> 00:50:33,397 Whatever that change is going to 1293 00:50:33,397 --> 00:50:35,797 be it's before you. 1294 00:50:38,969 --> 00:50:39,503 In terms of the no net expense 1295 00:50:39,503 --> 00:50:41,503 policy. 1296 00:50:41,872 --> 00:50:44,872 We're going to development in 1297 00:50:44,975 --> 00:50:46,476 that document that is going to 1298 00:50:46,476 --> 00:50:48,512 go with this document so you can 1299 00:50:48,512 --> 00:50:49,746 see in writing and those around 1300 00:50:49,746 --> 00:50:51,581 us that are concerned with the 1301 00:50:51,581 --> 00:50:52,783 development will have an 1302 00:50:52,783 --> 00:50:53,617 opportunity to look at the 1303 00:50:53,617 --> 00:50:56,170 analysis that was done. 1304 00:50:56,152 --> 00:50:58,540 We're committing to doing that. 1305 00:50:58,540 --> 00:50:59,322 When we get further in the 1306 00:50:59,322 --> 00:51:02,922 process we'll be doing that for 1307 00:51:02,992 --> 00:51:07,792 you to show you how we meet the 1308 00:51:11,367 --> 00:51:12,670 no net expense criteria. 1309 00:51:12,670 --> 00:51:12,368 >> Councilor Jones: councilor 1310 00:51:12,368 --> 00:51:13,369 davis. 1311 00:51:13,369 --> 00:51:16,380 >> Councilor Davis: I just want 1312 00:51:16,380 --> 00:51:18,438 to follow that quickly. 1313 00:51:20,108 --> 00:51:21,676 No net expense, we throw that 1314 00:51:21,676 --> 00:51:24,779 around, but I want to make sure 1315 00:51:24,779 --> 00:51:26,214 the folks know how that's 1316 00:51:26,214 --> 00:51:28,214 applied here. 1317 00:51:28,349 --> 00:51:31,949 Are we applying the same rules 1318 00:51:32,153 --> 00:51:34,555 to the santolina review that was 1319 00:51:34,555 --> 00:51:36,457 applied to other developments? 1320 00:51:36,457 --> 00:51:37,658 And I think the answer to that 1321 00:51:37,658 --> 00:51:39,658 is yes. 1322 00:51:42,863 --> 00:51:45,990 We apply a rule that says any 1323 00:51:45,990 --> 00:51:48,990 new development whether it's ten 1324 00:51:50,938 --> 00:51:52,205 houses or how many this is, must 1325 00:51:52,205 --> 00:51:54,605 pay their own way. 1326 00:51:54,674 --> 00:51:57,510 This board and this authority 1327 00:51:57,510 --> 00:52:00,510 has ordinances that ensure our 1328 00:52:02,882 --> 00:52:05,882 water rates don't double to 1329 00:52:07,753 --> 00:52:08,154 subsdize someone else's private 1330 00:52:08,154 --> 00:52:09,855 development. 1331 00:52:09,855 --> 00:52:12,925 This is is a big number, 1332 00:52:12,925 --> 00:52:13,192 whatever that number is, rough 1333 00:52:13,192 --> 00:52:13,492 lae 1334 00:52:13,492 --> 00:52:15,492 ly 1335 00:52:16,662 --> 00:52:17,963 roughly -- once we get into the 1336 00:52:17,963 --> 00:52:19,963 numbers for santolina. 1337 00:52:20,766 --> 00:52:23,101 Instead of the 99,000 people to 1338 00:52:23,101 --> 00:52:24,836 be served by santolina, if they 1339 00:52:24,836 --> 00:52:26,605 were to break that into a 1340 00:52:26,605 --> 00:52:28,605 thousand developments for 99 1341 00:52:29,341 --> 00:52:30,775 people, we would go through that 1342 00:52:30,775 --> 00:52:32,210 same evaluation process of 1343 00:52:32,210 --> 00:52:34,210 existing infrastructure and 1344 00:52:34,279 --> 00:52:35,913 existing capacity for each of 1345 00:52:35,913 --> 00:52:38,116 those thousand request to 1346 00:52:38,116 --> 00:52:40,840 accommodate the same thing? 1347 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:41,919 Each of those developers would 1348 00:52:41,919 --> 00:52:42,987 have to pay whatever the 1349 00:52:42,987 --> 00:52:45,987 requirement would be to add 1350 00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:47,958 their people to the service. 1351 00:52:47,958 --> 00:52:49,958 >> that's absolutely true. 1352 00:52:51,128 --> 00:52:54,128 Whether it's big development or 1353 00:52:54,631 --> 00:52:55,932 small development, the no net 1354 00:52:55,932 --> 00:52:57,932 development clause applies. 1355 00:52:58,869 --> 00:52:59,269 This happens to be a very large 1356 00:52:59,269 --> 00:53:00,470 development. 1357 00:53:00,470 --> 00:53:03,390 >> Councilor Davis: just as a 1358 00:53:03,390 --> 00:53:05,390 term of reference. 1359 00:53:06,609 --> 00:53:09,312 When mesa del sol came to this 1360 00:53:09,312 --> 00:53:10,213 board the no net expense applied 1361 00:53:10,213 --> 00:53:12,613 to this as well. 1362 00:53:13,649 --> 00:53:16,510 They had to pay all of the 1363 00:53:16,510 --> 00:53:17,586 infrastructure to meet the 1364 00:53:17,586 --> 00:53:20,122 availability so that the payers 1365 00:53:20,122 --> 00:53:20,456 didn't have to pay, is that 1366 00:53:20,456 --> 00:53:21,423 correct? 1367 00:53:21,423 --> 00:53:23,423 >> yes. 1368 00:53:23,525 --> 00:53:23,892 >> Councilor Jones: any more 1369 00:53:23,892 --> 00:53:24,626 questions? 1370 00:53:24,626 --> 00:53:26,626 >> Commissioner Quezada: would 1371 00:53:26,962 --> 00:53:30,562 they have to build a water 1372 00:53:32,934 --> 00:53:35,334 treatment plant eventually we're 1373 00:53:42,443 --> 00:53:44,145 -- we've got 10,000 homes with 1374 00:53:44,145 --> 00:53:45,713 25 different developers, and 1375 00:53:45,713 --> 00:53:46,130 there's no water treatment 1376 00:53:46,130 --> 00:53:48,130 plant. 1377 00:53:48,215 --> 00:53:48,983 There's no reuse plan they have 1378 00:53:48,983 --> 00:53:50,983 to pay for. 1379 00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:53,887 We have to pay 100% of that 1380 00:53:53,887 --> 00:53:55,887 don't we? 1381 00:53:56,356 --> 00:53:58,925 >> mesa del sol is on the hook 1382 00:53:58,925 --> 00:53:59,459 for a wastewater treatment 1383 00:53:59,459 --> 00:54:00,827 plant. 1384 00:54:00,827 --> 00:54:02,827 That value is 80 1385 00:54:03,463 --> 00:54:05,463 $80 million back 1386 00:54:06,266 --> 00:54:07,900 in 2002. 1387 00:54:07,900 --> 00:54:09,735 Don't quote me on that. 1388 00:54:09,735 --> 00:54:11,337 I apologize if that date is off. 1389 00:54:11,337 --> 00:54:13,439 They're on the hook for a water 1390 00:54:13,439 --> 00:54:15,875 system and a second phase water 1391 00:54:15,875 --> 00:54:16,275 system to serve that 1392 00:54:16,275 --> 00:54:18,275 development. 1393 00:54:18,444 --> 00:54:21,444 They're allowed a capacity up 1394 00:54:27,190 --> 00:54:28,220 front because we had more at 1395 00:54:28,220 --> 00:54:30,220 the time. 1396 00:54:33,325 --> 00:54:33,625 We call that the tijeras reuse 1397 00:54:33,625 --> 00:54:35,625 plant. 1398 00:54:36,494 --> 00:54:39,497 They are on the hook for the 1399 00:54:39,497 --> 00:54:40,265 same type of infrastructure. 1400 00:54:40,265 --> 00:54:42,665 >> Councilor Jones: thank you. 1401 00:54:43,668 --> 00:54:47,868 i would like to make a comment. 1402 00:54:52,242 --> 00:54:52,543 I'm going to let Mr. Waum speak 1403 00:54:52,543 --> 00:54:54,211 first. 1404 00:54:54,211 --> 00:54:54,978 >> good evening. 1405 00:54:54,978 --> 00:54:56,978 Thank you. 1406 00:54:57,848 --> 00:54:59,649 I think that actually subsidy is 1407 00:54:59,649 --> 00:55:01,649 the key issue. 1408 00:55:04,821 --> 00:55:06,122 To what extent will rate payers 1409 00:55:06,122 --> 00:55:07,924 subsidize the developers trying 1410 00:55:07,924 --> 00:55:10,324 to develop this property. 1411 00:55:10,493 --> 00:55:12,462 I heard one interesting thing 1412 00:55:12,462 --> 00:55:14,363 from Mr. Stomp that I support, 1413 00:55:14,363 --> 00:55:15,431 you were told that an 1414 00:55:15,431 --> 00:55:15,798 availability statement will be 1415 00:55:15,798 --> 00:55:17,533 required. 1416 00:55:17,533 --> 00:55:20,302 That's reversal of a position 1417 00:55:20,302 --> 00:55:21,737 that I heard Mr. Stomp 1418 00:55:21,737 --> 00:55:22,705 articulate only a very short 1419 00:55:22,705 --> 00:55:24,705 time ago. 1420 00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:25,774 I was heard that the next step 1421 00:55:25,774 --> 00:55:27,643 would be the development 1422 00:55:27,643 --> 00:55:29,511 agreement and the availability 1423 00:55:29,511 --> 00:55:30,979 statement would be skipped. 1424 00:55:30,979 --> 00:55:33,979 I'm concerned that the estimates 1425 00:55:34,282 --> 00:55:34,549 in the serviceability letter are 1426 00:55:34,549 --> 00:55:36,549 low. 1427 00:55:37,185 --> 00:55:38,186 The estimates only appear in the 1428 00:55:38,186 --> 00:55:39,921 albuquerque journal story. 1429 00:55:39,921 --> 00:55:42,321 The serviceability letter does 1430 00:55:42,724 --> 00:55:42,991 not contain the details of the 1431 00:55:42,991 --> 00:55:44,991 600 1432 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:47,361 $600 million figure that's been 1433 00:55:47,361 --> 00:55:48,129 quoted. 1434 00:55:48,129 --> 00:55:50,129 That 600 1435 00:55:51,310 --> 00:55:52,566 $600 million figure omits 1436 00:55:52,566 --> 00:55:55,135 components that are essential to 1437 00:55:55,135 --> 00:55:57,535 provide service to santolina. 1438 00:55:59,106 --> 00:56:00,674 It provides nothing for the 1439 00:56:00,674 --> 00:56:02,674 water reclamation plant. 1440 00:56:02,676 --> 00:56:04,911 It does not include facilities 1441 00:56:04,911 --> 00:56:05,245 required for indirect potable 1442 00:56:05,245 --> 00:56:07,245 reuse. 1443 00:56:08,810 --> 00:56:09,349 My understanding is that is the 1444 00:56:09,349 --> 00:56:11,718 plan for santolina, and 1445 00:56:11,718 --> 00:56:13,718 background documents indicate 1446 00:56:16,689 --> 00:56:20,889 that it must be the plan because 1447 00:56:23,729 --> 00:56:26,699 assume -- there are no reclaim 1448 00:56:26,699 --> 00:56:29,990 in the serviceability letter. 1449 00:56:31,870 --> 00:56:34,270 Service also requires on 1450 00:56:35,941 --> 00:56:38,430 facilities will be incredibly 1451 00:56:38,430 --> 00:56:41,430 expensive to build and maintain. 1452 00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,490 So the question for no net 1453 00:56:45,490 --> 00:56:47,618 expense is will cost be 1454 00:56:47,618 --> 00:56:50,180 recovered associated with these 1455 00:56:50,621 --> 00:56:53,621 high marginal cost of operating 1456 00:56:53,991 --> 00:56:56,930 these plants that would not be 1457 00:56:56,930 --> 00:56:58,295 required if not for santolina. 1458 00:56:58,295 --> 00:56:59,730 The serviceability letter says 1459 00:56:59,730 --> 00:57:01,165 that the developer should 1460 00:57:01,165 --> 00:57:01,598 reconsider it's feeze 1461 00:57:01,598 --> 00:57:02,599 asibility 1462 00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:04,599 feasibility. 1463 00:57:04,701 --> 00:57:05,101 The feasibility of this 1464 00:57:05,101 --> 00:57:07,101 development. 1465 00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:11,875 Shunt -- shouldn't the 1466 00:57:11,875 --> 00:57:13,643 feasibility statements be based 1467 00:57:13,643 --> 00:57:15,545 on all of the costs instead of 1468 00:57:15,545 --> 00:57:16,450 the partial costs listed to 1469 00:57:16,450 --> 00:57:18,450 date. 1470 00:57:21,884 --> 00:57:23,753 I would point out that the water 1471 00:57:23,753 --> 00:57:25,721 in the blue graph do not match 1472 00:57:25,721 --> 00:57:28,721 the figures in the text. 1473 00:57:30,959 --> 00:57:31,260 They say the total capacity is 1474 00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:33,260 54. 1475 00:57:33,495 --> 00:57:37,950 I'm concerned that the two I'ms 1476 00:57:37,399 --> 00:57:39,200 on our agenda would request 1477 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,200 federal and state funding for 1478 00:57:44,500 --> 00:57:46,207 the bosque plant, yet the 1479 00:57:46,207 --> 00:57:47,643 serviceability letter does not 1480 00:57:47,643 --> 00:57:50,430 indicate any responsibility for 1481 00:57:51,245 --> 00:57:51,579 santolina to pay for the bosque 1482 00:57:51,579 --> 00:57:52,113 plant. 1483 00:57:52,113 --> 00:57:54,113 Thank you. 1484 00:57:55,983 --> 00:57:57,718 >> Councilor Jones: thank you. 1485 00:57:57,718 --> 00:57:59,553 Mr. Stomp do you want to respond 1486 00:57:59,553 --> 00:57:59,953 to any of that? 1487 00:57:59,953 --> 00:58:01,953 Thank you. 1488 00:58:02,356 --> 00:58:04,756 Just a short statement. 1489 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:06,893 I know this is overwhelming when 1490 00:58:06,893 --> 00:58:07,594 we look at the development of 1491 00:58:07,594 --> 00:58:09,594 this size. 1492 00:58:11,631 --> 00:58:12,320 When we look at it, it's the 1493 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:12,866 development. 1494 00:58:12,866 --> 00:58:14,866 The santolina development. 1495 00:58:15,502 --> 00:58:18,370 This is like any other piece of 1496 00:58:18,370 --> 00:58:20,273 the city that's developed. 1497 00:58:20,273 --> 00:58:23,273 I'm sure there's people here 1498 00:58:23,476 --> 00:58:26,476 that were living in homes 1499 00:58:27,746 --> 00:58:30,382 because they were built on 1500 00:58:30,382 --> 00:58:31,984 private landownership. 1501 00:58:31,984 --> 00:58:32,284 they developed a piece at a 1502 00:58:32,284 --> 00:58:34,284 time. 1503 00:58:35,854 --> 00:58:38,190 Even though it May have been 50 1504 00:58:38,190 --> 00:58:41,190 acres or a thousand acres. 1505 00:58:43,795 --> 00:58:46,431 I think we need to do is look at 1506 00:58:46,431 --> 00:58:48,431 this big picture. 1507 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,335 This is a big undertaking for 1508 00:58:50,335 --> 00:58:52,335 any place. 1509 00:58:53,337 --> 00:58:55,539 What I see is the advantage is 1510 00:58:55,539 --> 00:58:58,539 it gives the water authority, 1511 00:58:59,143 --> 00:59:00,444 and the governing agencies an 1512 00:59:00,444 --> 00:59:02,479 opportunity to set a standard 1513 00:59:02,479 --> 00:59:04,480 for the entire project. 1514 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:05,816 I think that's being done by the 1515 00:59:05,816 --> 00:59:09,386 water authority and I'm sure the 1516 00:59:09,386 --> 00:59:10,787 county is looking at it also. 1517 00:59:10,787 --> 00:59:12,789 This is one of those things that 1518 00:59:12,789 --> 00:59:15,789 it's hard to see change. 1519 00:59:16,860 --> 00:59:18,761 We love our city, but we also 1520 00:59:18,761 --> 00:59:20,196 need to know there is change. 1521 00:59:20,196 --> 00:59:23,796 I think the water authority is 1522 00:59:23,900 --> 00:59:25,434 taking a really good stance on 1523 00:59:25,434 --> 00:59:28,170 this knowing that this agreement 1524 00:59:28,170 --> 00:59:31,874 goes with the land even if the 1525 00:59:31,874 --> 00:59:34,810 current owners were to sell 200 1526 00:59:34,810 --> 00:59:36,712 acres or 1 acre at the time. 1527 00:59:36,712 --> 00:59:38,814 All of the costs go to each 1528 00:59:38,814 --> 00:59:39,681 owner as they develop or build 1529 00:59:39,681 --> 00:59:41,681 on the property. 1530 00:59:43,185 --> 00:59:45,186 We have to take a bite at a time 1531 00:59:45,186 --> 00:59:46,988 and see if it works. 1532 00:59:46,988 --> 00:59:47,455 Thank you for being so 1533 00:59:47,455 --> 00:59:49,455 interested. 1534 00:59:50,358 --> 00:59:52,126 Thank you for continuing to give 1535 00:59:52,126 --> 00:59:54,126 us your opinions. 1536 00:59:55,630 --> 00:59:57,431 We we've

01:03:08,145 --> 01:03:10,145 years. 1608 01:03:11,315 --> 01:03:12,950 We've generated about a million 1609 01:03:12,950 --> 01:03:15,452 dollars less in revenue than we 1610 01:03:15,452 --> 01:03:17,452 did last time. 1611 01:03:19,222 --> 01:03:21,622 Consumption was down too 1612 01:03:23,430 --> 01:03:23,793 highjuly. 1613 01:03:23,793 --> 01:03:25,962 We're still projected to be at 1614 01:03:25,962 --> 01:03:28,464 budget or above budget by the 1615 01:03:28,464 --> 01:03:31,200 end of the fiscal year. 1616 01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,436 This graphic, it shows the 1617

01:03:40,309 --> 01:03:41,844 the additional 3 1621 01:03:41,844 --> 01:03:43,278 $3 million we 1622 01:03:43,278 --> 01:03:45,278 transferred to capital. 1623 01:03:45,380 --> 01:03:47,983 All the other expenditures have 1624 01:03:47,983 --> 01:03:51,583 been in line and actually what 1625 01:03:52,854 --> 01:03:55,254 many of them decreasing. 1626 01:03:56,224 --> 01:03:57,926 The next slide is just a quick 1627 01:03:57,926 --> 01:04:00,610 depiction of our spending each 1628 01:04:00,610 --> 01:04:01,195 month compare to rolling average 1629 01:04:01,195 --> 01:04:02,830 for the year. 1630 01:04:02,830 --> 01:04:05,830 August was a high month. 1631 01:04:06,334 --> 01:04:09,700 We spent a lot of expenditures 1632 01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:11,338 on power and chemtuals in that 1633 01:04:11,338 --> 01:04:12,840 month as we run the water 1634 01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:14,840 treatment plant. 1635 01:04:16,577 --> 01:04:17,811 As we start ramping back down 1636 01:04:17,811 --> 01:04:20,247 expenditures come more back down 1637 01:04:20,247 --> 01:04:21,948 in line. 1638 01:04:21,948 --> 01:04:24,348 Days cash on hand. 1639 01:04:25,418 --> 01:04:29,180 At the end of fiscal year 2018 1640 01:04:29,656 --> 01:04:30,290 we have almost 445 days of cash 1641 01:04:30,290 --> 01:04:32,158 on hand. 1642 01:04:32,158 --> 01:04:36,358 At the end of the first quarter 1643 01:04:36,395 --> 01:04:36,729 we had about 325 days cash on 1644 01:04:36,729 --> 01:04:38,631 hand. 1645 01:04:38,631 --> 01:04:39,231 That's primarily because we 1646 01:04:39,231 --> 01:04:41,231 spent 44 1647 01:04:42,340 --> 01:04:44,434 $44 million on July 1 for 1648 01:04:44,436 --> 01:04:46,405 debt service payment. 1649 01:04:46,405 --> 01:04:49,405 That will go back up. 1650 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,347 The next slide is our capital 1651 01:04:55,347 --> 01:04:57,347 expenditures. 1652 01:05:01,352 --> 01:05:04,352 We caught up what we've 1653 01:05:05,189 --> 01:05:07,191 underspent in fy16 and 17. 1654 01:05:07,191 --> 01:05:10,428 It was a heavy first quarter 1655 01:05:10,428 --> 01:05:14,628 last year, but we're on pace to 1656 01:05:16,133 --> 01:05:20,333 spend on what we spend on fy19. 1657 01:05:21,538 --> 01:05:22,472 Our ratio is 1.33 for debt, and 1658 01:05:22,472 --> 01:05:24,472 1.20 for all debt. 1659 01:05:26,243 --> 01:05:29,212 As you can see, we almost hit 1660 01:05:29,212 --> 01:05:31,612 three for fiscal year 18. 1661 01:05:33,917 --> 01:05:37,517 We're at about 2.25 for fy19 so 1662 01:05:39,222 --> 01:05:43,422 far, and this helps to get our 1663 01:05:44,260 --> 01:05:44,393 triple a rating with the rating 1664 01:05:44,393 --> 01:05:46,393 agencies. 1665 01:05:48,130 --> 01:05:48,664 Next slide is water use 1666 01:05:48,664 --> 01:05:50,664 production. 1667 01:05:50,699 --> 01:05:54,202 The same slide after that is 1668 01:05:54,202 --> 01:05:55,203 with consumption. 1669 01:05:55,203 --> 01:05:57,500 Consumption production is down 1670 01:05:57,500 --> 01:05:59,500 this year. 1671 01:05:59,241 --> 01:06:01,641 It's at fy16 levels. 1672 01:06:08,950 --> 01:06:11,752 It's below fy18 and fy17 levels.
