Although we'll only be deciding on whether to continue the pilot for another year, and not making a final determination about the project, I'd like to add a few additional questions that might provide some helpful context:
-- Which, if any, city facilities currently pay for water usage?  What is Parks' share?  If any do pay, how is that calculated?
-- Which, if any, city facilities have paid or will pay a PIF?  If any have or will, have is that calculated?
-- How much total water do city facilities typically use each year?  How much does Parks use, in total?

Thanks -- Matt

Subject: Question re: agenda item #6B/Thunderbird Lake Pilot


1)       The recommended motion is to continue the Thunderbird Lake Pilot project through the 2013 season but  comments in the executive summary state that the planning work and development of a sustainable model would be completed in the Spring of 2013 .  What is the  time period for which the extension is being requested?

2)      What are the goals for the extension period?  How do they align with or differ from the original goals for this project?

3)      If Council votes to approve the extension of the pilot project through the remainder of 2012 and  for some period into 2013, will the lake continue to receive supplemental water additions throughout this period to maintain the original goal of a water elevation of approximately 5,315 ft.?

4)      To date, have any Plant Investment Fees (PIF) been charged to P&R for the increased water use for Thunderbird Lake?  If yes, what amount?  If no, is the statement on page 119 accurate, i.e., that P&R will be charged from 2012 forward a PIF fee of $215, 186 ( $2.47/square foot for two surface acres)?

5)      The chart on page 2 of Agenda Item 6B shows the total project costs for each year from 2009-2011.  What are the costs to date for 2012?

6)      What is the status of the MOU authorizing discharges from Thunderbird Lake to the Storm Water Utility System (see pages 125-126)?
