RESOLUTION NO. PAGE 3 TONY FERRARA, MAYOR ATTEST: KELLY WETMORE, ClTY CLERK APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: STEVEN ADAMS, ClTY MANAGER APPROVED AS TO FORM: WOTHY J. CARMEL, ClTY ATTORNEY ATTACHMENT 1 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE Your "YES" vote on Measure - will authorize the City of Arroyo Grande to purchase a limited amount of State water to continue to meet the needs of its customers in the most cost effective manner. Projections indicate the City will require approximately 400 acre feet of additional water to meet the needs of its buildout population under the existing General Plan. The City uses all the Lopez water it is legally entitled to and a court order prevents the City from pumping additional groundwater. 'This measure is not intended to acquire water to accommodate any growth not currently allowed or planned for. State water represents the most cost effective approach available to obtain additional water. The City's objective is to structure a purchase that will have minimal impact on customers' water rates. State water is a reliable source even in droughts because the County has excess supply that is available to compensate for periodic reductions in deliveries from the State. Since the City currently has only two sources of water, this will help diversify our water supply. Conservation and other efforts are still proposed to address the 400 acre feet needed, but given the uncertainties involving water resources, it is dangerous to rely solely on conservation to meet the City's needs. This will also provide the critical authorization needed to purchase emergency water if ever needed to replace the potential loss of existing supply due to drought or other emergency conditions. The City has worked hard to make available the water needed to serve its customers, but supply is restricted and options are limited. Your City Council unanimously urges you to take the steps necessary to help ensure it can continue to meet these needs in the future in a cost effective manner by voting "YES" on Measure -.
