BASEBALL SEASON
Presenter: Mayor Kriebs

Mayor Kriebs concluded by presenting certificates to each player in recognition of their outstanding 2023 season.
2. PRESENTATION ON THE CITY'S ANNUAL WATER SUPPLY DEMAND ASSESSMENT,
PRESENTED BY WATER SUPERINTENDANT MCGEE
Presented by Steven McGee, Water Superintendent
Water Superintendent Steven McGee presented the Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment for fiscal year 2024-2025. The report, already submitted to the state by the July 1 deadline, evaluates the city's water reliability under a single dry-year condition and requires no action from the Council.
Key Points:
5 Assessment Preparation: Prepared by Stetson Engineering, the assessment utilizes data from the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (particularly Section 7), historical weather and precipitation records, the Electronic Annual Report, water loss audits, and monthly water consumption data.
Water Supply: The city has adjudicated rights to 940 acre-feet of water from the Raymond Basin. Any usage beyond this amount requires importing water to recharge the spreading basins. The total available water supply is approximately 3,400 acre-feet, while annual usage in the driest years is around 1,500 acre-feet.
Water Production and Consumption: Over the past seven fiscal years, the city's water production has averaged between 2,200 and 2,400 acre-feet annually. Two years ago, there was a significant drop in production due to reduced demand resulting from increased rainfall.
Impact of Rainfall: Rainfall greatly influences water demand and groundwater replenishment. Recent years saw one year with 48 inches of rain (a historic high) and another with 27 inches. Increased rainfall led residents to reduce water usage, especially in irrigation. Mr. McGee praised residents for their conservation efforts.
Groundwater Levels: Static groundwater levels have improved by over 100 feet, now at 206 feet, due to increased rainfall and the diligent efforts of the water department staff in managing the spreading basins. Mr. McGee commended his team, especially Foreman Tim Hunsicker, for their dedication in maximizing groundwater recharge.
3. UPDATE ON THE SIERRA MADRE PUBLIC LIBRARY MEANINGFUL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Report presented by Public Works Director Yanez
Public Works Director Arnulfo Yanez provided an update on the library construction project:
• Removal of Oak Tree: On August 27, the large oak tree at the library was removed. After thorough review by arborists, city staff, and engineers, it was determined that the tree had caused significant damage to the existing foundation and would continue to damage the new structure due to its extensive and growing root system. • Mitigation Efforts: To compensate for the removal of the oak tree, the city will plant 20 new trees throughout public areas in town.
• Library Construction Bidding Process: The city is currently soliciting bids for the general construction contractor for the library project. The bid closing date has been moved from Thursday, September 12, to Friday, September 13, at 4:00 p.m. This change allows for a required 72-hour period after an amendment was issued to ensure fair bidding practices. • Next Steps: After the bids close, Mr. Yanez and additional staff will review the submissions over the weekend. He will then make a recommendation to the City Manager, Mr. Jose Reynoso.
The City Council meeting recessed at 6:52 p.m. for the sounding of the City Horn in celebration of Sierra Madre Day (9.10.24).
The meeting reconvened at 7:09 p.m.
