RESOLUTION SUPPORTING FEDERAL PFAS LEGISLATION THAT PROTECTS RATEPAYERS AND WATER/WASTEWATER AGENCIES The City of Tustin Water Services relys on the Orange County Groundwater Basin (Basin) to provide over 80% of the City's water supply. The Orange County Water District (OCWD) manages the Orange County Groundwater Basin that supplies water supply to 2.5 million people in north and central Orange County. Per-and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances have been detected in the Basin, entering primarily via the Santa Ana River whose flows infiltrate into and recharge the Basin. Although chemical manufacturers are the original source of PFAS chemicals, cities and water agencies must find ways to remove them from local water supplies. PFAS impacts to Orange County are estimated to cost more than $1 billion, over 30 years- a cost that will likely increase. City Staff and OCWD recommend supporting federal legislation that protects ratepayers and water/wastewater agencies from these devasting impacts and urges Congress to cast votes that support these public policy positions. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 21-97 supporting federal PFAS legislation that protects ratepayers and water/wastewater agencies.

Recommendation: That the City Council receive and file this item. 12. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH RESPONSE UNIT The Tustin Police Department has proven to be on the leading edge of community policing. Professionalism, wellness, compassion, and excellence in public safety are some of the department's highest goals. Recent calls across the nation for reimagined public safety require a non-traditional policing method with a co- responder model to address community challenges involving potential "non-violent and/or non-criminal" issues, including: homelessness, substance use/abuse, mental health, and family issues. To address these challenges and provide increased community service, executive police command staff recommends the implementation of a two-year pilot program of the Tustin Police Department Behavioral Health Response Unit (BHRU) to include the creation of a Behavioral Health Bureau Commander position. It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Lumbard and seconded by Council Member Gomez to: 1 . Approve a two-year Behavioral Health Response Unit Pilot Program to provide increased community service and address the multi-layered challenges of homelessness, substance use/abuse, mental illness, and family issues; 2.
