On Council consensus, this matter was removed from the Agenda. Agreements Assistant City Manager Leslie Keane reported on two agreements for a regional tertiary treatment demonstration project. Ms. Keane stated the Council previously approved $190,000 of interim financing for im- mediate initiation of this project. To proceed further, it is neces- sary to enter into two agreements: the first between the cities of Colton and San Bernardino, which establishes a procedure whereby both cities jointly oversee the operation of the demonstration system to their mutual benefit; the second between the cities of Colton and San Bernardino and the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District, and authorizes the District to negotiate site leases and/or purchase options for project locations and operation of the demonstration system. Ms. Keane advised that both agreements have been reviewed by Best, Best and Krieger to assure that they are in the best interest of the City of Colton. Ms. Keane continued neither the City of Colton nor San Bernardino has committed to the permanent operation of a regional tertiary facility in lieu of individual City operations. That decision will need to be made prior to the end of the demonstration project. Should either or both cities abandon the regional concept, the information provided via the demonstration project may be used by either in its decision to con- struct a rapid infiltration project facility or conventional treatment facility. Both cities will be committed to meet financial obligations incurred during the demonstration project, even if they decide to pur- sue independent alternatives. Initial bond sales will cover only dem- onstration project expenses. Ms. Keane concluded Staff recommends the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the attached two agreements for the operation of a regional wastewater treatment demonstration project. Moved by Councilman Rios, seconded by Councilman Rehrer to approve and authorize execution of agreements as outlined for a regional wastewater treatment demonstration project. Unanimous vote. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. John Longfield, 1809 Cottonwood, Colton, spoke about a problem that has developed on Washington Street as a result of the construction of the Albertson's Shopping Center. Mr. Long complained that one lane has been shut down, making the traffic backup during peak hours and causing serious problems getting off of the freeway to and from work. Staff advised Mr. Longfield that unfortunately there is nothing that can be done in the immediate future until the project is near comple- tion, however, the City's Traffic Committee will be studying this area and possibly some alternative can be used.
