Items for Committee Recommendation to Board a.* Receive the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Plan for Central San Mr. Michalczyk reviewed and updated the presentation included in the agenda materials. He stated the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has required counties and cities within the Bay Area to plan on revising zoning to accommodate additional housing units to reduce housing shortages in California by 2031. He mentioned that the Planning and Development Services Division uses the RHNA numbers to assess possible staffing needs with increased housing applications. Ms. Gemmell stated that the permit counter currently averages 45 residential applications per month, and this is expected to increase to 46 residential applications per month with the majority being larger multi-family housing units. Mr. Bailey informed the Committee that internal discussions will be necessary to determine the best solution to address possible staffing needs and is not being proposed at this time. Mr. Michalczyk provided a demonstration of the geographical information system (GIS) framework using individual housing elements from the County and local cities in the District’s service area. Central San is expecting an increase of approximately 28,800 housing units to be built within the District’s service area (5,600 in Concord and Clayton). The Committee Members and staff discussed the framework and how it would affect Central San. In response to Chair Pilecki’s question regarding revenues, Ms. Gemmell stated that staff will review the available data to adjust the forecast revenue over the next ten years in the rates model but intends to keep the projected revenue conservative since the economy is still uncertain. In response to Mr. Bailey’s question regarding the revenue outlook, Mr. Brightbill said that a cursory review of the RHNA data indicates the number of additional new Residential Unit Equivalents (RUE’s) each year could roughly double. Mr. Brightbill indicated that current Capacity Fee revenue is roughly $8 to $10 million per year so the additional RHNA units could potentially double that revenue over the 7.5 years. Mr. Bailey stated there may be some additional obligations beyond capacity fees that the District will need to address but this could have a positive impact. The Committee members thanked Mr. Michalczyk for his presentation. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the Report and recommended Board approval.

Receive update on the most recent meeting of the Bay Area Clean Water Agencies (BACWA) Ms. Schectel gave a verbal overview of the memorandum provided in the agenda materials. Air: BACWA and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) met in September and BAAQMD has filled vacant upper management positions. BACWA continues to develop a collaborative relationship with BAAQMD staff. There will be a report to the BAAQMD Board in December or early 2024 on the BAAQMD/BACWA collaboration. Communications: BACWA continues to make internal efforts to prepare for communications on key issues with member agencies. Regional Monitoring Program (RMP): The annual meeting was held on October 12, 2023. RMP collects data and communicates information regarding the water quality in the San Francisco Bay. PFAS: The draft sewer-shed study report has been prepared and will be finalized early next year. District staff will provide an update on the results of the study when it has been completed. Nutrients: Discussions are continuing regarding the strategy for the third Nutrient Watershed Permit. The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is drafting the third quarter permit and adoption is planned for next May. District staff also met with RWQCB to discuss the long-term vision for recycled water and nutrient management. In response to the Committee regarding recycled water and nutrients, Mr. Bailey said that Central San will need to incentivize for more creative solutions, and that there is an opportunity to put 20 to 30 million gallons per year of water to better use therefore the District needs to continue to push the envelope. Further discussion ensued. The Committee had no further questions. COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update. 5. Announcements Mr. Bailey informed the Committee that he attended the WateReuse Conference.
