This <br />requirement, in place since the 1990s, is designed to encourage communities to deal proactively <br />with providing sustainable drinking water for citizens, businesses and industry. <br />The City's updated Water Supply Plan is due December, 31, 2016. The Water Supply Plan is <br />also a required component of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. The plan includes: <br />1. Review and evaluation of our existing water system; <br />2. Emergency Response Procedures; <br />3. Water Conservation Plan. <br />WSB has submitted a proposal to complete the Water Supply Plan update in the amount of <br />$16,400. Funding for the plan update is proposed to come from the City's Trunk Utility Fund. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution 16-27 authorizing preparation of <br />the Water Supply Plan update. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Resolution No. 16-27 <br />2. Proposal from WSB & Associates, Inc. dated March 14, 2016. <br />
