Accepted. (17-253) Recommendation to Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Short Term Agreement with the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to Provide Services for the City of Alameda's Potable Water System at Alameda Point. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she does not recommend transitioning from EBMUD to an outside contractor; inquired what is the impetus for the recommendation. The Public Works Coordinator responded EBMUD does not typically provide operations and maintenance for a system that is not theirs but has been providing the service to the City since the late 1990's through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA); the short term agreement extends the JPA for six months, which gives the City an opportunity to understand the legal, regulatory, and technical aspects of having another service provider. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the primary consideration for seeking an alternative provider is because EBMUD does not do maintenance on facilities that are not their own, to which the Public Works Coordinator responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of authorizing the City Manager to execute a short term agreement with the East Bay Municipal Utility District to provide Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 2 April 18, 2017 | CityCouncil/2017-04-18.pdf |
