The purpose of this email is to icfocm you that the pres oration male last October 3.20:2.at t e Regular lioniseer Council Meeting.by a representative of the Suncyslope Water District implied two incorrect points •
The=fo*manoe provided to City Council implied that our San Beano Campus would not un:ze a septic tank if the sewage comnecnon wen made available That is clot a Tama:stator:eat We mast proceed with a temporary-septic tank to deliver a campus co oar San Benito community as planned on budget and on schedule.Our pco?ect s plumbing and septic designs will allow us to connect to city sewage once available.We are scheduled m break gourd in January 2023 with a completion date of March 2024 and cannot delay oar project due to currently unavailable sewage iniastrucoue. r� a
It was also implied that a developer was wiling•to cover the costs of the required sewage itLiastrucri e Although this might be sae.no develops has corrected my office to offer to cover those costs.Conversations between the prevuous college president and a develop&ocercredd m the past but after lengthy negotiations.ae •t amen enr was river reached.We.therefore.proceeded with plans to utaze a septic tack As stewards of bond mocev.we we respaesa:e for each of you to have factual:=formation DeLacm_our project to await sewn ee afiasatature is not in the best interest of ow common•or the best use of public funds that will conrmue to lose value due to infirm and a scasace cony:racier.tors Not to mention that a delay would ago be devastaling to our San Benito cosmlmtiy.which has waited years to see this project come to!minion.
