MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
CYPRESS CITY COUNCIL
HELD
January 27,2003
A regular meeting of the Cypress City Council was called to order at 5:36 p.m. by Mayor
McCoy in the Executive Board Room, 5275 Orange Avenue, Cypress, California.
PRESENT:
Council Members McGill, Piercy, Sondhi, Mayor Pro Tem Keenan,
Mayor McCoy
ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: City Manager, City Attorney, Director of Finance and
Administrative Services, Public Works Director, Recreation and Community Services
Director, and City Clerk.
The Public Works Director introduced Patrick Scanlon, Vice President, Customer
Service for Southern California Water Company.
Mr. Scanlon introduced Art Gomez, Customer Service Superintendent at Southern
California Water Company. He stated he would be providing the Council with an update
on capital projects, water supply issues, proposed service improvements, and the
general rate case application that is pending.
He stated that the West Orangewood well is drilled and no complaints were received
from residents regarding noise. The final development phases are underway and the
piping and buildings on the project will begin shortly. The Samoa Street reservoir
booster station and transmission main design is complete and construction should
begin in early spring. The new well on Valley View Street across from Cypress College
is a groundwater conjunctive use project with the Metropolitan Water District and is
currently under negotiation.
Mr. Scanlon stated there is a basin overdraft, which means more water is being
pumped out than is being recharged. The four areas impacting the overdraft are growth,
dry weather conditions, availability of supplemental water from Metropolitan Water
District, and recharge capabilities at Orange County Water District.
The operating strategy at Orange County Water District is that every year an
engineering report is prepared by geologists that goes to the Board of Directors, where
a basin pumping percentage is set. This percentage has been set at 75% for the last
several years. The Orange County Water District would like to set the new basin
pumping percentage at 58% with everything else being purchased from Metropolitan
Water District. At the current 75%, the cost is $127 per acre foot. With the proposed
strategy at 58%, the cost will be $132 per acre foot.
Mr. Scanlon stated Phase I of the ground water replenishment system, which is
advanced treatment of the effluent from the Orange County Sanitation District, will
provide 70,000 acre feet of water per year.
Mr. Scanlon provided information on the rate structure for the imported water supply
from Metropolitan Water District.
He stated that with the reduction in the Colorado River, California lost 800,000 acre feet
of water per year. Metropolitan Water District has reported there are ample supplies of
water to meet all demands in 2003 and 2004. There will be an increased emphasis on
conservation, recycling projects, desalination, and water transfers.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 27, 20~G 6
Mr. Scanlon stated that water rates are going to increase steadily over the next few
years because of growth and supply issues.
Mr. Scanlon stated new and replacement well upgrades are planned for the City.
Infrastructure improvements will be ongoing, with undersized water mains being
replaced with larger diameter water mains to reduce leaks, improve water quality, and
improve fire flows. Local projects include security upgrades, street improvements,
conservation projects, and pipeline replacements.
Mr. Scanlon stated there are four areas that drive water rates in California. They are:
insuring a long term water supply, improving infrastructure, providing high quality water,
and enhancing security. Southern California Water Company is governed by the Public
Utilities Commission and a general rate application is filed once every three years,
which is a projected forecast of costs. Current applications are for water rates that will
be in effect from September 1, 2003 through the end of 2005. The increase for the first
year is 29.72% in order to get Southern California Water Company back up to current
cost of service. This amount is not necessarily what the Public Utilities Commission will
decide upon. The last increase was in 1999, which was 13.5%. The increase averages
to approximately $9.00 per household.
He stated that all customers in Cypress received a direct mailer explaining the
proposed increase. An address was provided to contact the Public Utilities Commission
and hearings will be held on the rate increase application where the public can provide
their input. When the process is completed, notification will be sent on what the final
rate impact is.
Council Member McGill asked what Southern California Water Company has done to
reduce their own costs so increases are not just passed along to customers.
Mr. Scanlon stated that Southern California Water Company has historically operated
efficiently with lower employee numbers. Also, all expenses must be justified to the
Public Utilities Commission.
Council Member Piercy asked if the new pump that was installed at Orangewood was to
assist Huntington Beach with their water supply and why Cypress is paying higher rates
than surrounding cities.
Mr. Scanlon replied that the pump is used only in Cypress. He stated that the rate
survey provided to the Council is one year old and that many agencies have increased
their rates already or will be increasing them July 1.
The City Attorney reported that the City Council would be meeting in a Joint Closed
Session with the Redevelopment Agency regarding Conference with Legal Counsel -

ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND THE BOARD OF

Public Works Director stated Holder Street is on the Masterplan of Arterial Highways for
the County and is on the City's Circulation Element as a secondary arterial highway.
The street is broken at the bridge at the channel and staff is asking for Council approval
to apply for funding for the project through the Orange County Combined
Transportation Funding Program. The funding program is for competitive projects for
other Measure M projects. There is no guarantee that the City will be awarded any
money and this would be for a project several years from now. At that time, staff would
request Council approval to award the project and move forward with construction.
He stated a number of mitigation measures have been attempted to be implemented to
avoid installing a bridge on Holder Street but some projects are difficult to do because
they require acquisition of right-of-way property or extensive funding. The purpose is to
divert vehicles to reduce traffic congestion.
The Public Works Director stated a public notification was not made on this item
because this is only a request to apply for funding.
Council Member McGill asked about critical factors and issues on Valley View in
regards to traffic issues.
The Public Works Director stated thresholds were identified for when the improvements
