PL ANNINU AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Environmental Impact Report Contract - Dr. Stephen Selinger/ CM Engineering At the last Council meeting, Council required staff to urge the project's applicant, Dr. Stephen Selinger, to redesign the project at the outset to mitigate potential environmental problems before spending money on an ETR. The City Attorney's office spoke with Dr. Selinger, but he M does not wish to withdraw his application. Staff recommends that the contract for the ETR be approved. When the EIR is completed, the City will know all of the environmental impacts posed by the plan and whether these can be mitigated. If there are significant environmental impacts, the City will then be able to deny the project because of the impacts, or mitigate the impacts, or approve the project with overriding concerns. If the project is denied, the plan could be revised and a subsequent EIR conducted on the new plan. Councilmember Larsen expressed concern 1 in permitting the applicant to continue any further with a project so 9 inconsistent with the proposed Specific Plan. City Attorney Holmes assured Council that the applicant had no greater rights by proceeding with the environmental impact report. On motion of Councilmember Johnson, Council approved a contract with C-M Engineering Associates, San Bernardino, in the amount of $17,100.00 to prepare an environmental Impact report for Tentative Tract. No. 13294, and authorized the Mayor 6 and City Clerk to sign on behalf of the City. Motion seconded by Councilmember DeMlrjyn and carried by the following vote .

Brine Municipal Utilities Director Corneille reported that for many years the 4 Pond city has operated a brine disposal evaporation pond at the Wastewater Closure Treatment Plant. Our wastewater discharge permit has limits on the amount of dissolved minerals (filterable residue, chloride and sodium) we can discharge. The City has provided the pond mainly for the conven- ience of two users in the City that generate high strength brine wastes, because this mineral could not be discharged into the sewer and other 2..- cost-effective disposal options were not available. The City has only charged a nominal fee for usage of the pond. Within the last two years new regulations are being enforced by the Santa Ana Regional Suter Quality Control Board that require significant new monitoring and testing for existing and new waste containment ponds. These regulations also impose a liability for the clean up of any contamination resulting from these ponds.Our_ pond is currently out of compliance with the regulations and could not be brought into compliance without essentially rebuilding it. Therefore, we informed the Santa Ana Regional water Quality Control Board in September 1985 that we will be closing our mond (in accordance with an approved closure plan) , but said that we would be building a replacement pond with funding in our fiscal 187 budget. This funding ? is not in our new budget because building a new pond is not cost-effective and a more effective option, the Santa Ana Regional Interception (SARI) line is available. Therefore, staff and the Public Works Commission recommend that the brine pond be. closed. At this time, Mr. Bob Moreley, owner of. Servisoft Water Conditioning, addressed Council. His company is presently the bi?gest user of the brine pond and would greatly be affected by the closure. Ile urged Council to consider setting the closure date for March 1987 so that he :4 could have enough time to finalize other arrangements. Councilmember k of .v Larsen moved to close the brine pond at the Wastewater Treatment Plant - effective March 15, 1987, and directed staff to prepare an analysis of the closure requirements. Motion seconded by Councilmember DeMirjyn, and carried unanimously, F Resoluti(_,)n Resolution No. 4201, a resolution of the City Council of the City of No. 4 01 Redlands agreeing to act as fiscal agent for chant_ monies disbursed by the Foundation for Community Service Cable Television, was unanimously adopted on motion of Councilmember Wormser, seconded by Councilmember DeMirjyn. 3 Claim On motion of Councilmember Larsen, seconded by Councilmember Wormser, the '? claim of Timothy Lowry in the amount of $7.00,000.00 was unanimously found not to be a proper charge against the City and therefore rejected. frt Funds Additional appropriations were unanimously approved on motion of Council member Larsen, seconded by Councilmember Wormser, as follows: Sewer Capital Projects Funds $267,000.00 for the oversizing of the Gibraltar sewer line and $149,000.00 for miscellaneous sewer capital projects, Building Maintenance Fund: $4,300.00 for engineering of a sprinkler system for Smiley Library, $5,000.00 for a payment of the microwave com- munication link, and $600.00 for additional work at the City Yard recep- tion area; and General Fund: $83,000.00 in State Park Bond funds for the Smiley Library Seismic Retrofit Project.
