The series is shared via direct <br />email and the City’s social media platforms. The City also has created the Pleasanton Water <br />Advisory Group (PWAG) to provide input and feedback on water initiatives. The PWAG <br />consists of members who reflect a broad spectrum of community interests and perspectives. <br />An overview of the WSMP development process and findings from the draft report were <br />presented during the August and September PWAG meetings. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Accepting the Final Water System Management Plan advances the ONE Pleasanton strategic <br />goal of Investing in Our Environment - Strategy 4 to complete the Water System Management <br />Plan to reflect current and future operations, and identify system improvements and necessary <br />maintenance. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Development of the WSMP is funded by CIP 22190. Funding requirements to support the <br />implementation of the WSMP will be determined as part of the upcoming water rate and <br />connection fee studies. Staff will propose necessary budget adjustments based on these rate <br />studies in future budget cycles for City Council consideration and approval. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> <br />Ryan Smith, Assistant Dir. of <br />Public Works - Utilities <br />Siew-Chin Yeong, Director of Public <br />Works <br /> <br />Gerry Beaudin, City <br />Manager <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
