7.15 APPROVAL OF THE PUBLIC UTILITIES BOARD MINUTES OF
SEPTEMBER 17, 1987
C. Kiefer moved for approval, J. White seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED 6-0 (1 absent)
50.40 AGREEMENT BETWEEN DANIEL, MANN, JOHNSON, & MENDENHALL
DMJM FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES
G. Hoyt recommended that the Board approve to waive
Council Policy 401 regarding engineering services for the
disposal of storm water run -off and approve an agreement
with Daniel, Mann, Johnson, & Mendenhall (DMJM) to perform
engineering services for the modification of the south
inlet structure at Walnut Canyon Reservoir and disposal of
storm water run -off at the eastern side of said reservoir.
C. Kiefer asked why Council Policy 401 needs to be waived
and why a storm water run -off system was needed since
Walnut Canyon water is filtered.

D. Ament explained that DMJM's proposal for engineering
services ($168,420) was selected as the lowest bid in
accordance with Council Policy 401. The DMJM proposal
included engineering services for installation of a
hydroelectric generation facility at the south inlet
structure; this facility has been deleted from the project
(the "hooks and hangers" will be included so that such a
facility can be installed, if economical, at a later
date). The estimated cost removed was about $43,000.
Subsequently, Water Engineering staff determined that
storm water run -off from hilly slopes above the reservoir
was carrying fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides into
the reservoir. This could significantly degrade the
quality of water in the reservoir and require the addition
of multimillion dollar treatment facilities at the Lenain
Treatment Plant. To avoid this situation, a storm run -off
intercept and disposal system will be constructed on the
reservoir peripheral road. DMJM was asked to add
engineering services for this work to their agreement
without competitive bid; the cost is estimated to be about
$25,000, plus an additional $25,000 if an extensive
environmental impact study is required (the study will
probably not be required). D. Ament also stated that the
total cost of the DMJM engineering services agreement is
now $174,605, of which about $25,900 for an extensive EIR
will probably not be spent. The water run-off system work
was added to the DMJM proposal since they will already be
doing work at Walnut Canyon and to complete the design and
construction work on the water run -off system before the
winter rains (and thus avoid additional contaminants
draining into the reservoir).
D. Stanton moved for approval, D. McMillan seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED 6 -0 (1 absent).
G. Hoyt mentioned that there was no significant water or
electrical problems due to the earthquake this morning.
D. Pohlman also stated that there were no problems with
any bulk power facilities and San Onofre never went
off -line.
8.05 FIVE AND TWENTY YEAR FORECAST OF DEMAND & ENERGY
REQUIREMENTS
D. Pohlman introduced T. Slatten, System Planning
Manager. T. Slatten stated that the forecast serves to
provide information for our Five -Year Electric System Plan
and for the Generation and Transmission studies. The
forecast assists our revenue requirements and also helps
establish our rates and is used in the preparation of the
annual capital budgets. D. Kolk gave a slide presentation
with charts and graphs on the econometric forecast and
then L. Megli continued the presentation with the end use
and land use forecast.

C. Kiefer asked what does the growth mean.
G. Hoyt stated that there is no dramatic changes in the
forecast this year. The five and twenty year forecast is
a marketing study and the foundation for a planning
sequence.
D Pohlman mentioned that the 1987 Electric System Plan,
which was presented to the Board last year, discussed the
development of new substations. It is a logical follow -up
to the five and twenty year forecast.
No action was required on this item.
D. Stanton left the meeting at 5:15 p.m.
60.45 DROUGHT PLAN PRESENTATION
D. Vuong, Water Engineering Manager, gave a slide
presentation about the Anaheim Water System Drought Plan.
D. Vuong stated that Anaheim presently pumps about 70
percent of its water supply from wells and purchases the
remaining 30 percent from MWD. MWD is projecting no water
supply shortage in 1987/88 and only a 2.4 percent water
supply shortage (about 44,000 acre feet) in 1988/89. The
drought plan provides for additional pumping capacity
above 70 percent if MWD's supply to Anaheim is reduced due
to a drought in 1988/89. The pumps at Linda Vista
Reservoir will be modified in 1987/88 and 1988/89 to
increase Anaheim's pumping capacity 7,000 acre feet, more
than three times the potential shortage of 1,800 acre feet
in 1988/89 if there is a drought and MWD's supply to
Anaheim is reduced.
C. Kiefer asked if Anaheim has an obligation to transfer
its MWD supply to other cities in a drought if Anaheim has
an abundant supply from other sources. G. Hoyt said
Anaheim had no such obligation. Anaheim has planned well
for drought and other emergency situations; Anaheim has
the largest reservoir supply capacity of any municipality
in Orange County and a large well pumping capacity.
Anaheim has been willing to invest to assure an adequate
supply.
No action was required on this item.
