Linda Ridenour spoke of the procedures of the project, the traffic it would generate and the extra time of police control it would take to have this project run smoothly. Council Member Tisdale indicated there are several pumps like this throughout the United States and that they do not create energy, costs more electricity to have the water pumped up hill, the electric company makes a profit and the length of time for construction, therefore he does not support the project. Mayor Pro Tem Magee asked if EVMWD was part of this project? City Manager Brady stated that he would need to research. Mayor Pro Tern Magee stated this is not an Edison project, is a separate entity that would tie into an Edison sub-station and suggested to direct staff to become an intervener in the process. He suggested searching all correspondence relating to the project and have it included in the City's response package. He suggested to include a comprehensive list of concerns of the City, address water quality issues, visual impacts, compliance with the MSHCP including all biological impacts, the need to have as much underground as possible, the need to pursue alternative alignments, the impacts on the transportation infrastructure, have them carefully consider the "NO" project alterative, and to examine the impacts on the City's emergency services. Council Member Melendez stated that the individuals that are in favor of the project felt that it would stabilize lake levels, however she felt that the project would be detrimental to the City and therefore does not support the project. Council Member Hickman spoke of the negative effects this project would have on the City. He stated if the project moves forward, make it a necessity to have the transmission lines placed underground. He stated he does not support the project and recommends processing the Notice as soon as possible. Mayor Bhutta stated that she does not support the project as it does not benefit the City, residents or the Lake. She recommends staff draft a letter stating all of the reasons that were stated, along with the fact that Council does not support the project.
