Minutes Page 2 of 12
PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS (PHGs) 2007-2009 REPORT
2
The California Health and Safety Code requires that operators of large water
utility systems periodically prepare a report and conduct a public hearing
regarding the health of the water supplied to customers. For the 2007-2009
reporting period, the drinking water quality of the City of Tustin Water Services
complied with all California Department of Public Health and USEPA drinking
water standards. While Tustin's water system exceeded the public health goals
(PHG) for arsenic, uranium, coliform bacteria, lead, and copper, these levels
remained below the EPA's action levels and the City remains in overall
compliance with all regulatory water quality standards and no additional
treatment programs are required.

AMENDING THE RESOLUTION CALLING THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL

City Council/Redevelopment Agency July 6, 2010
Minutes Page 9 of 12
During its recent budget hearings, members of the City Council discussed the
possibility that long-term cost savings may be achieved if the Office of the City
Clerk was made appointive, if that office is then staffed with an existing City
employee. Upon review, it appears this proposal - if approved by the voters in
an election -would allow the City to save both annual costs of compensating the
elected City Clerk and the costs of conducting elections for the City Clerk
position at each election cycle.
Per City Council direction, the City Attorney has prepared the resolution and
proposed initiative ordinance that would be required to initiate a ballot measure
on November 2, 2010 for the purpose of changing the City Clerk position from
elective to appointive. A Resolution adopting conforming amendments to the
Council's June 1 Resolution calling the municipal election for purposes of
electing two members of the City Council has also been prepared.
Motion: It was moved by Councilmember Davert and seconded by
Councilmember Palmer to approve the recommendation.

20. LEGISLATIVE REPORT -SENATE BILL (SB) 1445
Senate Bill (SB) No. 1445 would impose an additional fee of $1 on motor
vehicle registration statewide. Fee revenue would be used to fund SB 375
regional planning activities. One percent (1 %) of the fee revenue would be
used to support the Planning Advisory and Assistance Council (PAAC). This bill
would also revise the membership of the PAAC and create new duties for the
PAAC which would involve greater coordination among local governments,
regional governments, state departments, and the Strategic Growth Council.
Attached is a draft letter of opposition to SB 1445, based largely on the
imposition of an additional fee for SB 375 planning activities, which could be
delayed until the economy improves. A copy of SB 1445 is included as
Attachment A to this report.
Motion: It was moved by Mayor Amante and seconded by Councilmember
Davert to direct staff to transmit the letter of opposition to the author of SB 1445
and to the Governor if the bill is passed by the Legislature.
