Accepted. (10-443) Recommendation to Authorize the Interim City Manager to Negotiate and Execute the Fifth Amended Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the City of Alameda and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD). Accepted. Councilmember Tam noted that she would recuse herself and left the dais because she is employed by EBMUD. Councilmember Gilmore inquired how much the EBMUD is paid for system maintenance. The Public Works Director responded EBMUD is paid over $750,000 per year for water consumption. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether some of the $750,000 is offloaded to tenants. The Public Works Director responded tenants pay towards water consumption, which is outlined in leases; stated the $750,000 is what the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Agency (ARRA) pays for water used at Alameda Point; each tenant has a rate that is charged to lease revenue. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether Alameda Point meters are separate. The Public Works Director responded not all meters are separate; stated EBMUD does not read individual meters, only the master meter; EBMUD wants to know when larger tenants would be individually metered. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether water leaks are charged to the master meter. The Public Works Director responded in the affirmative; stated recently, the wharf had leaks; EBMUD's policy states a bill will be reduced by half if a water leak is documented; the other [EBMUD] payment is for ongoing water facility repair and maintenance; the Public Works Department does not have the expertise to maintain and repair water lines; EBMUD is paid anywhere between $100,000 to $300,000 per year for repairs; water main breaks have lessened over the years.
