Agenda Items The Chair received public comment on each agenda item. 1. Develop Draft Criteria for Groundwater Replenishment Project Recommendation for June 12, 2013 California Public Utilities Commission Workshop On a motion by Della Sala and second of Brower, draft criteria submitted at the meeting were approved unanimously on a vote of 2 0 by Della Sala and Brower. Potter was absent. No comments from the public were directed to the committee during the public comment period on this item.

Masters Program/Head of the Architecture Department. Thomas Shorey provided information on weather/temperature/wind conditions at the desalination facility site. The first design group to present was Team H2O: John Donley, Joanne Ha, Daire Heneghan and Thomas Shorey. This design takes advantage of optimal solar orientation, and passive ventilation. In addition, a gravity feed system would move water into the facility and through the pretreatment and RO process. It features a rooftop public education area that includes large skylights to offer a view down onto the desalination operations. The following comments were received on the Team H2O design. (a) Show height and location of trees surrounding facility site, so the public can see that view impacts will not be an issue. (b) Determine cost of paperwork for LEED Certification, if that is a goal. (c) Consider that it may be necessary to heat the buildings in the summer. (d) Incorporate sound attenuation into ceiling and walls. (e) Consider enlarging the building to accommodate future expansion of the facility. This could be more cost/time effective than constructing new buildings in the future. (f) Allow sufficient space around equipment for repair work. (g) Assess the longterm durability of plastic siding that is proposed for the building exterior. (h) Determine if the desalination facility site is in the yellow tsunami zone. (i) A representative from Monterey County Planning Department should be present at the June 13, 2013 committee meeting since this project will be under the purview of Monterey County. The second design group to present was Team Patchwork: Derek Holloway, Danton Spina, Smita Naik, Kevin Pitzer. This proposal is a singlestory building design, LEED like, planned with minimal impact to the site, maximum utilization of permeable pavements, and installation of water catchment ponds. There is an effort to provide views of the outside throughout the buildings. The design includes three courtyards and a rooftop garden/public education area. The following comments were received on the Team Patchwork design. (a) Asked for explanation of how the onestory design is more cost effective than the Team H2O design. (b) Requested a comparison of the cost for the proposed design that includes space for expansion, and the cost to expand in the future. (c) Is there enough wind in the area to produce power for the facility? (d) Where will the highvoltage substation be placed? (e) Ensure the buildings are large enough to allow movement and repair of equipment. (f) Consider the presence of shore birds at the site. (g) Will photocells on the roof impede air traffic? (h) Investigate use of permeable pavement that is good quality and long lasting. (i) Insure that the roof is set at the correct angle to reduce the view of solar panels from the ground. (j) Address the exhaust and generator noise inside the building. (k) Include ample space in the buildings for sand filters. (l) The roof could be very expensive because of the weight of the garden/public education area. (m) Be aware that the brine ponds will usually be empty, and the backwash ponds will be full. (n) The concept of rooftop educational areas is a good one, but people may be discouraged from exploring those areas due to cold temperatures in Marina. (o) Cost is the determining factor in the design choice; however, superior design may justify additional cost. 3. Discussion of Items to be Placed on Future Agendas No new items suggested.

motion was adopted on a vote of 3 0 by Burnett, Byrne and Potter. 3. Consider Approval of Revised Groundwater Replenishment Project Go/NoGo Criteria for Presentation at June 12, 2013 California Public Utilities Commission Workshop A document titled Criteria for the GWR Recommendation by Governance Committee for the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project was submitted for committee review by Robert Wellington, attorney for the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency. Burnett asked for comments on Section 4 of the document, as he was scheduled to discuss the criteria with staff from the Division of Ratepayer Advocates. The committee members reviewed and commented on the criteria but took no action. An amended version of the criteria will be submitted for consideration at a future meeting. Discussion of Items to be Placed on Future Agendas Svindland stated that on June 13, 2013, the Cal Poly design teams will present the next phase of their designs based on comments that were received from the committee on May 17, 2013. He advised the teams that cost is an important factor in project development, and that instead of planning only for the 9.6 mgd plant size, their plans should be modified to accommodate both the 6.4 mgd and 9.6 mgd plant sizes. There was a brief discussion about the desalination project construction schedule. On a motion of Byrne and second of Potter, the committee voted to recommend that CalAm incorporate into the request for proposals item 7 listed on Attachment 1. The motion was adopted on a vote of 3 0 by Burnett, Byrne and Potter. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 pm.
