Gregg Carr, spoke regarding a letter he had received responding to comments he made at a previous Council meeting. He also addressed the need to allow the people of San Ramon a chance to engage in a dialogue regarding the selection of a Mayor and suggested the item be put on a future agenda.

Jim Blickenstaff, said that there needs to be some clarity on the selection of Mayor process and suggested removal of the clause from the City policy that says the Mayoralship shall be a rotational system.

Victor Petersen, 2said there needs to be a change in the selection of Mayor and said he was putting together a team to place on the November ballot a measure to have an elected mayor and asked for assistance from the public. He also said it was ironic that the three Councilmembers that voted for the Urban Limit Line lawsuit were the same three that voted against Mr. Raab for Mayor. He suggested that Mr. Hudson recuse himself from the position of Mayor and allow the vote to be held again.

Bob Ingalls, said he was displeased with the outcome of the selection of Mayor and offered his assistance to Mr. Petersen in crafting and gathering votes for the initiative to ask the residents of San Ramon whether or not they want to elect their Mayor.

Cynthia Jones, Vice President-Board of Directors, Dublin San Ramon Services District, and San Ramon business owner, invited the Council and any other interested groups to tour the DSRSD plant to view the water recycling program called Clear Water Revival.

COMMUNITY FORESTRY PROGRAM 

The Administrative Analyst introduced a public hearing on an ordinance establishing a Community Forestry Program and said it would allow the City to proceed with an application for the designation as a Tree City USA from the National Arbor Day Foundation. This ordinance formalizes the Public Services Department existing responsibility for maintenance of the City's trees and codifies the tree-related programs that are currently managed and in plans for management in the future. To receive designation as a Tree City USA, the City needs to demonstrate compliance with four standards. He indicated the City already complies with two of the standards but does not have a Tree Ordinance nor does it have a designated tree department or board. He said establishment of a community forestry program would satisfy the final requirements and enable the City to demonstrate its compliance with the last two standards. Specifically the ordinance designates the Public Services Department as the City’s Tree Department and designates the City Council as the Tree Board but allows the Council to delegate its responsibilities to other commissions or committees.

In response to Cm. Tatarka’s questions, the Administrative Analyst said the City’s tree inventory was estimated at over 30,000 trees and that the Public Services Department was in the process of inventorying each facility. The cost for developing a complete tree inventory data base preliminary estimate was $2-$2.25 per tree and the requested funds would be part of any mid-year budget adjustment. He confirmed that this would include trees that would be in the Dougherty Valley after annexation.

The City Manager said that the term "tree board" could be entitled any way the Council chose. He said the City Council has been designated as the "tree board" to empower the Council to have carte blanche as to what they wanted to do and how they would want to delegate.

No one spoke during the public hearing.

Cm. Raab’s motion to approve the Ordinance establishing a community forestry program and waive the reading was seconded by Cm. Tatarka and passed 5-0.

EBMUD SOUTHERN LOOP PIPELINE PROJECT

The City Engineer requested direction from the Council  regarding the application from EBMUD for an  encroachment and a tree removal permit for their Southern Loop Pipeline project. She said EBMUD had made a prior request for the permits in November 2000 and noted that the current request reflects the pipeline alignment modification from Deerwood Drive to Crow Canyon Road. She introduced Marilyn Miller, EBMUD Engineer and said she was available to answer questions.

Robin Shahan, expressed her concerns about the pipeline construction and the chance of destabilizing the hillside and the potential flooding or slippage of her residence. She said the pipeline was moved for the Deerwood Drive residents and she requested the same consideration be given her neighborhood.

John Sullivan, representing the residents and management/owners of Promontory View Apartments, presented petitions with 150 signatures requesting EBMUD be directed not to run their water pipe along Deerwood Road for fear the consequences of a pipe rupture in their earthquake prone hillside. He expressed concerns that the hillside had been pushed around, re-leveled and compacted too much already. He said when he met with the EBMUD Board they discovered, upon reviewing the plans, that in order to underground the 42 inch pipeline, it would require digging 10-20 feet down to go under the existing sewer and water lines. He expressed appreciation that EBMUD was looking out for future water needs but said the main line should be tapped into along Crow Canyon Road versus Deerwood Road. He asked for equal treatment as was given to the Deerwood Drive residents.

Joe Smith, California Sunridge Development, submitted petitions signed by 80 homeowners requesting the Southern Loop Pipeline be rerouted from Deerwood Road. He said that by relocating the pipeline it would significantly reduce or eliminate disruption through this high-density neighborhood. He said they were also concerned about the disruption of the geological integrity of the hillside should a break occur and how resale values would be affected. He also asked that they be given the same consideration as the homeowners along Deerwood Drive.

Mark Dubney, Alameda County, said he was a concerned neighbor on the other end of the tunnel and understood the necessity of the pipeline for safety issues. He referred to an EIR dated December, 1982 that showed complex patterns of water sources that could be disrupted by the tunnel project. He cautioned EBMUD during excavation of the tunnel because of the underground water sources and said the fault line could produce serious soil instability.

Oleg M. Dubney, Alameda County, expressed concern that the EBMUD EIR did not adequately address the aquifer issue on the Chieu property and questioned whether or not they had received an independent third party review.

Cm. Kinney asked if he had any protected species in his area and suggested that he contact the Department of Fish and Game.

Valorie Frederick, homeowner and representative of the Stonepine Lane Homeowner’s Association, presented a petition in opposition to the project. She expressed concern about the negative affect this project will have on property values.

John Herrera, said he agreed with the previous speakers in opposition to the Southern Loop Pipeline Project.

In response to Mayor Hudson’s questions, Ms Miller said the Southern Loop Pipeline was designed to be built out of welded steel pipe material that is able to bend, yield and absorb the forces of an earthquake. She said EBMUD has recruited the most knowledgeable people in the world to assist with the design and feels it is a very safe methodology that will remain functional after an earthquake. If there were to be a break of any kind, it would be a small tear which could result in some seepage perhaps but not a gush of water. Because of the fact that the pipeline crosses the Calaveras Fault, they have included even thicker walled steel pipe and specially designed pipe joints with special welding to account for that additional risk in this area. Additionally, on either side of the fault, she said they have included some shut off valves and attachment points to attach portable hoses to keep that line in service in the event of repairs.

Mayor Hudson questioned how EBMUD would mitigate disruption to the residences and where the equipment would be kept at night.

Ms. Miller indicated they plan on keeping 2 lanes of the 4 lane roadway open at all times. She said the residents would have complete access to their driveways and in the evening hours all 4 lanes would be available. She said the contractor would be requested to have a staging area outside of the residential neighborhood where equipment would be stored at night. She further clarified that Deerwood Drive was only a 2-lane road, which would be more difficult to maintain access during construction.

In response to Mayor Hudson’s questions regarding the Chieu property and the third party review of the EIR, Ms. Miller said she was not certain where the Chieu property was and the way the design was set up now was with the tunnel portals on both ends in the public rights of way – not on private property. She said in terms of the reviews, in the environmental process, they have been through a full EIR on the project involving not only local communities but State agencies as well.

Cm. Kinney asked about the report that was promised to Mr. Dubney in July.

Ms. Miller said Mr. Dubney had been presented with the drilling logs however, since the work was to be completed in the road right of way, and not on private property, there was no need to finalize any reports since the project had been moved to a different location.

Cm. Kinney asked if by moving the project into the road would the problems with aquifers be eliminated and at what level would they hit water.

Ms. Miller said they had done a lot of geo-technical borings and the information requested was included in the drawings and contract documents given to the City Engineer.

Cm. Kinney asked if EBMUD reports showed there would only be a small tear in the pipe should there be a 7.2 earthquake.

Ms. Miller said they used experience from other water agencies and utilities that have gone through earthquakes. They worked extensively with the Japan Water Works Association who have gone through a number of earthquakes. She said they have data on how different types of pipe performed and have been basing their design on the information generated by the experience of all the other entities.

Ms. Miller answered Cm. Kinney’s questions regarding the flexibility of pipe lines by stating they build into the design a factor of safety to allow for all kinds of uncertainties and the pipelines have not just been designed to a 6.6 or 6.7 magnitude earthquake.

Bruce Mason, EBMUD Engineer EBMUD, stated the contractor would be responsible for securing the staging area along Crow Canyon Road. He also stated there was no document that would guarantee only be a small tear in the event of a 6.6 earthquake.

Cm. Raab asked if the EIR was reviewed by both Alameda and Contra Costa counties and the cities involved in the project in addition to the State? He asked if Alameda County had any questions or comments regarding the aquifers that were mentioned that night and were they under county jurisdiction.

Ms. Miller confirmed the EIR had gone through multiple reviews, the aquifers were under Alameda county jurisdiction and the county did not have any comments regarding them.

Cm Raab asked for an explanation of the differences in geology between the two areas.

Ms. Miller said the primary reason was accessibility. She said EBMUD felt they could build the pipeline safely on Deerwood Drive but it would be more difficult construction and would have more impacts on the neighbors than the construction on Crow Canyon Road.

Cm. Tatarka asked for clarification on why this was the preferred route, why the original route had been moved and what the other routes were.

Ms. Miller said prior to the publication of the draft EIR in 1998 there had been an alignment study that looked at various alternatives; along Norris Canyon Road from San Ramon Valley Blvd., out Norris Canyon over to Crow Canyon; cross county alternatives, Deerwood Drive versus Crow Canyon Road and Crow Canyon all the way down to the freeway. She said a number of factors were involved including traffic, neighbors, businesses, constructability, reliability, chance of landslides in Norris Canyon, and ultimately the EIR determined the chosen route including the variation that was done on Deerwood Drive.

In response to the concerns of the instability of the hillside, Ms. Miller said there were two components, construction activity and the size of the trench and the longer-term issue of water leakage. She said the geotechnical work done as part of the design work including borings have found that the soil is very stable and will stand up in a trench during construction with appropriate shoring for worker safety. She also said they did not anticipate any problems with trenching, and the minor leakage that could occur if there is a break in the line should not result in any soil instability.

In response to Cm. Kinney’s questions regarding the collapsed water tanks on the Wiedemann Ranch, Ms. Miller said EDMUD did the design work and the developer did the geotechnical work. She stated it was stable land however when the contractor, who was working for the developer, began excavating the hillside below the tanks, this caused the soil to become destabilized.

Cm. Wilson asked for some sort of reassurance from EBMUD to the homeowners that the type of destabilization, like the water tank, would not occur below their homes.

Ms. Miller answered this was an entirely different type of construction than what was involved with the water tank. She said the pipeline was a very solid system and was different from having a tank sitting on top of a hill and adding a lot of weight to the hillside.

Cm. Wilson summarized the primary concerns of the residents; 1) safety, 2) quality of life and 3) protection of home value. He asked if there was a major rupture, where would the water flow.

Ms. Miller responded that throughout any city there are major pipelines in the ground, water, sewer, petroleum, etc., and some are very big. She said EBMUD and Central San have pipelines in San Ramon that are much bigger than what was being discussed. She said she felt considering the design and construction plans, that this would be the safest pipeline of all.

Cm. Tatarka asked where an alternate route would be if it were not down these two specific streets.

Ms. Miller said they had not found any other feasible route that would have fewer impacts then this one.

In response to Cm. Kinney’s remarks about putting the pipeline down I-680, Frank Melon, EBMUD Board, said the pipeline could not go down the freeway because EBMUD could not get the cooperation of Caltrans.

Robin Shahan, asked 1) what are they going to do with the area of Deerwood that is only 2 lanes and why tear up a street that was just paved and, 2) how is EBMUD going to find the small leak resulting from a 7.2 earthquake without tearing up whole sections of the pipe?

Mayor Hudson answered that the decision for road construction was a decision made by Council, not EBMUD, and asked Mr. Mason for a response to the leak detection issue.

Ms. Miller said there is leak detection equipment available that is done from the surface of the ground. She said it is a highly sensitive auditory microphone that is very accurate at finding underground leaks.

Norma Avery, stated she felt that EBMUD should be required to exhaust the scenario with Caltrans. She said Caltrans is not cooperating and the neighbors on Deerwood Road are not cooperating as well.

Merit Perry, presented petitions from residents of Skyline Homeowners Association in opposition to the pipeline. She said the homeowners association is spending over $100,000 per year on landscaping measures to prevent further slippage in the development. She asked if EBMUD would reimburse her if the pipeline leaked and caused damage to their units.

Mayor Hudson closed the public hearing.

Cm. Kinney’s concerns involved; 1) he wanted assurance that all residents in San Ramon are treated equitably, 2) the lack of reports supporting small tears resulting from 6.6 earthquake, 3) the damage to aquifers draining and endangering red legged frogs and, 4) the location of staging areas of construction equipment. He said it is not so much a construction issue but property value and safety. He asked that EBMUD go back to Caltrans to pursue I-680 as an alternate route and questioned whether or not San Ramon needed the pipeline.

Cm. Raab said the discussions for this pipeline had continued for at least 9 months and he had been reassured about the preferred route. He said the geology is different between the two areas. He said EBMUD has been in the pipeline business for 70 years and has the experience and know-how and has utilized resources worldwide. He said that we need to think about this from a regional perspective that if there is a major catastrophe and we have to rely on this pipeline, it is not just our homes, but our jobs outside of San Ramon that would be affected. He said he was pleased with EBMUD installing a permanent generator and requested that a permanent leak detector be on site with City staff trained for its usage.

In response to the question regarding the tree permit and mitigation, the City Engineer said the City’s tree preservation ordinance requires a 3 to 1 replacement and that is a standard applied to all tree removal permits. She said the trees to be removed are located south of Crow Canyon Road, 1500 feet west of the intersection of Crow Canyon and Bollinger Canyon Road.

Cm. Tatarka inquired if the residents had been notified of the public meetings held by EBMUD concerning this project. She expressed concern for the residents on the hillside, but said she felt confident that the hillside was stable. She asked for regular inspections and maintenance of the pipeline utilizing the leak detector and stated she would like to proceed with the project.

Cm. Wilson said that all residents must be treated equally. He said he had spoken with Ms. Miller on numerous occasions regarding this project. He requested to see in writing documentation from EBMUD as to who the residents would contact in the event of an emergency, who was responsible and the procedures to be followed. He said San Ramon needs the pipeline to protect its own interests.

Cm. Kinney made a motion to deny the request for an encroachment permit and a tree removal permit. The motion died for lack of a second.

Cm. Raab’s motion to approve an encroachment permit and tree removal permit for the applications from EBMUD for the proposed Southern Loop Pipeline Project was seconded by Cm. Tatarka.

Cm. Wilson wanted clarification that the residents will receive written protections in the event something went wrong.

Cm. Raab asked the City Attorney regarding liability is it the utility or the district that puts in the project that has the responsibility or liability.

The City Attorney said it is very difficult at this stage to ask anybody to cover in advance any conceivable contingency; there maybe things that are not the fault of the district. He said it is an issue that would ultimately be determined later by a court based upon the circumstances of what occurred. He said Cm. Wilson was requesting that the district provide information to the property owners as to the responsible persons to call in the District in case of problem. He said he did not think it was realistic at this stage to ask the District to issue a letter saying they are liable for whatever happens in the future on that hillside.

Cm. Wilson amended the motion to state "make certain the residents have someone to speak to regarding their rights, and a point of contact to seek proper recourse should the need arise".

Cm. Kinney said as a condition of approval EBMUD should be responsible if the pipeline breaks.

The City Attorney stated that there are too many unforeseen possibilities to prevent indemnification to the people of EBMUD and this is not the type of approval that would allow the imposition of this condition. He said the District has the right to use the streets. He said that most of the potential damages discussed, EBMUD would be liable for, whether they agreed to it or not. But he said for the City Council as a condition to require EBMUD to admit liability in advance, was not appropriate.

Cm. Tatarka said the staff report states "Under the provisions of the PUC, EBMUD has the right to construct the pipeline within the public streets but is required to work collaboratively with the City in which the streets are located". She asked the City Attorney what is the City’s liability if these things happen.

The City Attorney said, none, but if in the future the City does something by changing the street or some other activity that damages EBMUD’s pipe, that would be a different story.

Cm. Wilson said if we approve this project we are going to make sure that this Council will help address any residents concerns that come before us if there is a problem.

The City Clerk restated Cm. Raab’s motion: 1) to approve EBMUD’s encroachment permit and tree removal permit, 2) to make sure residents have a means to determine responsibility and, 3) include leak detection responsibility.

By roll call vote the motion passed 4-1 (Cm. Kinney dissenting)..

Mayor Hudson called for a five minute recess.

All Councilmembers were present when the meeting reconvened.

The Economic Development Manager said that part of the City’s Redevelopment Agency’s responsibility is to provide affordable housing in the redevelopment area. The current agreement with Braddock and Logan for affordable housing protects the City’s interest with a "silent second". She said the County Assessor has determined that affordable housing must be assessed at full market value rather than the sales price and this puts property taxes out of the affordable range threatening the viability of the affordable housing program. Staff proposed offering those who have or will purchase a home under the affordable project an amendment to the "silent second" so that the homes could only be sold at a price that is deemed affordable to a qualified family. She said this would restrict the ability of the new owner to sell but would assist the viability of ownership. He said this could protect the City’s interest by the silent second remaining in force at the end of the term of the agreement. She concluded by saying if the house were sold before the end of the agreement, the City would have the value of the house remaining affordable for a qualified person.

Cm. Wilson asked after the 15-year period, what happens to the profit, is the City protected from losing the profit and how can the profit be recycled back into the program or community.

The Economic Development Manager said if the house were sold at market price, the City would retain its interest in the "silent second" and the windfall profit would not go to the owner of the house, but would be returned to the City’s affordable housing program. She said we could amend the agreement we make with the homeowners. She also said that this would not affect any other areas or developments in the City because this is one of the few "for sale" affordable projects in the City and this amendment would only affect future agreements, not preexisting agreements.

The Economic Development Manager defined for Council "windfall profit" as the difference between the affordable sales price and the market sales price. She said she was not aware of any other cities with this type of affordable housing agreement. She said what we are looking to accomplish is to make it a requirement for the people who have already purchased a home, when they go to sell, it is kept affordable.

Cm. Tatarka’s motion was seconded by Cm. Raab, and passed 4-1.

AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT WITH BRADDOCK AND LOGAN GROUP FOR THE PORTER/MUIR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PROMISSORY NOTE SECURING THE CITY’S INTEREST IN THE HOMES SOLD UNDER THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT
