9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CITY OF BURLINGAME 2020 URBAN WATER
MANAGEMENT PLAN AND WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN AND
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTING THE 2020 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT
PLAN AND ADOPTING THE 2020 WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN
DPW Murtuza stated that Senior Civil Engineer Kevin Okada and EKI consultant Tyler Colyer helped
prepare the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP).
He reiterated that the UWMP and WSCP are living documents that provide a snapshot of water supply
conditions and water supply demand projections for the future. He continued that they are prepared based on
4
the best available information including the City's General Plan. He stated that the plans meet all the
requirements from the State Water Resource Board as well as the State Water Code.
DPW Murtuza stated that there are a number of issues when talking about the UWMP that are associated
with water supply, such as growth in housing, population, and employment. He commented that the goal for
tonight's meeting is to review the plan and consider its approval. He commented that the UWMP should be
a framework for future policy decisions in relation to water and future development.
Mr. Colyer noted that preparation for the UWMP started in June 2020 and that preliminary findings were
presented to the City Council at a Study Session on May 17, 2021. He continued that the deadline for
adopting the UWMP was early July, but the City pushed back adoption of the UWMP to make sure that the
latest supply allocation information was included and to provide adequate time for review. He mentioned
that there are no penalties for submitting plans late, but it can affect state grants.
Mr. Colyer gave an overview of the 2020 UWMP. He stated that the UWMP is required to be updated every
5 years. He added that the UWMP is important because:
• It is a State -mandated water supply and demand planning document
• It is a key document that articulates long-term water planning strategy to the public and promotes the
"value of water"
• It provides a foundation for Water Supply Assessments
• It offers a framework to discuss water shortage contingency planning
Mr. Colyer reiterated that the UWMP is a living document and should be updated as new information
becomes available to the City. He explained what's new in the 2020 UWMP:
• Lay Description
• Energy Analysis
• Drought Risk Assessment ("DRA")
• Five Consecutive Dry -Year Water Reliability Assessment
• Separate Water Shortage Contingency Plan ("WSCP")
• Seismic Risk
Mr. Colyer highlighted that the Drought Risk Assessment looks at water demands compared to supplies over
the next five-year period.
Mr. Colyer elaborated on the City's water usage over the last five years. He explained that water demand
increased 12.87% between 2016 and 2020. He stated that single family homes make up 40% of the City's
total water demand. He mentioned that the single-family residential usage includes indoor and outdoor
usage. He continued that 2016 was a low point for water usage in the City's recent past.
Mr. Colyer stated that one metric that the City needs to comply with is SB X7-7; the Water Conservation Act
of 2009, which aims to reduce State water usage by 2020. This regulation establishes baselines and
compliance targets for each urban water supplier. He explained that for Burlingame, it is 135 gallons per
capita per day. He stated that the 2020 per capita per day usage in Burlingame was 107. He noted that the
5
per capita water use has rebounded slightly since the 2016 drought, but that Burlingame has done a good job
at conserving water.
Mr. Colyer reviewed the projected demands. He explained that projections account for future population,
employment growth (based on 2019 General Plan), and passive conservation savings. He stated that total
water demands are projected to increase 35% from 2020 to 2045. He continued that residential per capita
demand is projected to decrease from 66 gallons per capita per day in 2020 to 59 gallons per capita per day
in 2045. He explained that this is mainly due to more multi -family units being built as well as passive
conservation savings.
Mr. Colyer explained that the normal year supplies are sufficient to meet projected demands. He stated that
the City receives its water supply from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission ("SFPUC"). He stated
that the SFPUC provided Burlingame with water reliability projections for normal and dry years. He noted
that for normal years, the SFPUC will be able to meet the City's water obligation of 5.23 million gallons per
day (equivalent to 1,909 million gallons per year). He commented that in 2045, Burlingame's projected
demand is 90% of its individual supply guarantee.
Mr. Colyer reviewed the impact of the Bay Delta Plan Phase I. He explained that the SFPUC is projecting
impacts to their wholesale customers' water supply during the dry years. He explained that the State Water
Resources Control Board SWRCB) established water quality objectives to protect beneficial uses of water in
the Bay -Delta. He continued that the Bay Delta Plan requires 40% of unimpaired flow to be released every
year into Lower Tuolumne River from February through June. He stated that the releases would require 40%
to 50% rationing. He noted that the SFPUC is exploring alternative strategies to reduce the impacts of Bay
Delta Plan supply cutbacks.
Mr. Colyer explained that Burlingame is 100% reliant on the SFPUC Regional Water System for potable
water. He continued that the SFPUC provided multiple reliability projections under the Bay Delta scenario,
none of which meet their contractual Level of Service Goals. He noted that there are two agreements that
dictate how water gets divvied up for Burlingame, but neither are applicable for cutbacks greater than 20%,
so those would need to be renegotiated in the future.
Mr. Colyer gave an overview of the projected water shortfalls in dry years. He explained that Burlingame is
projected to have shortfalls of up to 52% in 2040 if there are multiple dry years in a row. He noted that these
estimates are based on the available data now, and that impacts could be reduced via implementation of
water saving strategies. He discussed the actions that the City has taken in the past to reduce water usage
including:
• Implementing water conservation programs
• Updating the water shortage contingency plan
• Coordinating with other Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) member
agencies and SFPUC
• Evaluating recycled water alternatives
• Advocating for alternative water supply and voluntary settlement through BAWSCA and SFPUC
2
Mr. Colyer moved on to the Water Shortage Contingency Plan ("WSCP"). He noted that the WSCP is a
standalone document attached as an appendix to the UWMP and that it does need to be passed separately
from the UWMP. He explained that the WSCP articulates what is required of its customers at each stage of a
drought. He noted that the State requires certain elements in the WSCP including:
1. Water supply reliability analysis
2. Annual assessment procedures
3. Six standard shortage stages
4. Shortage response actions
5. Communication protocols
6. Compliance and enforcement
7. Legal authorities
8. Financial consequences
9. Monitoring and reporting
10. WSCP refinement procedures
He noted that the most important elements of the WSCP are shortage response actions and the six standard
shortage stages. He explained that the Drought Plan Water Shortage Levels are dictated by legislative
requirement and are very prescriptive:
Shortage Level
Percent Shortage Range
Shortage Response Action
1
Up to 10%
• Declaration by the City Council based on the
City's review of available water purchases
from SFPUC or based on the determination
that the SWRCB (or any other governing
authority) has required a mandatory
reduction in water use due to water supply
shortages or emergency.
• Includes implementation of restrictions on
end uses as well as agency actions.
2
Up to 20%
3
Up to 30%
4
Up to 40%
5
Up to 50%
6
Greater than 50%
Mr. Colyer reviewed the basis for selection of drought response actions at each level of drought and water
shortage. He stated that the actions are:
• Reduce outdoor water use
• Focus on a few simple actions to make messaging, enforcement, and compliance easier
• Provide flexibility to customers in meeting savings objectives
• Consider drought rate structure during Level 3
• Consider account -level water use budgets by sector during Levels 4, 5, and 6
• Perform continuous public outreach and assessment of water use
• Quantitatively assesses using Drought Response Tool
7
Mr. Colyer noted that under normal conditions, the City is able to adequately provide water to its customers,
but that there are some uncertainties in the plan. He stated that because of these uncertainties, the City can
adopt a new UWMP more frequently than the minimum of every five years.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked how potential housing legislation, SB9 and SB 10, affect the plan and if the
City can ask for an addendum to the plan that incorporates new numbers. Mr. Colyer responded that the plan
can be updated by the City more frequently than the 5 years required by the State.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked if by submitting the UWMP, the City will be eligible for water grants. Mr.
Colyer responded in the affirmative.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran stated that the City is currently doing a good job of conserving water. She asked if
the City's efforts would be rewarded because the City is doing a better job of conserving than others.
BAWSCA CEO Nicole Sandkulla responded that when BAWSCA creates a formula, all members have to
agree to it. She added that historically, there has been some disparity between BAWSCA members in usage
levels, but that as restrictions have been implemented, the usage has become more homogenous. She
commented that BAWSCA will be looking to the State for guidance later this year. DPW Murtuza added that
staff participates on the technical advisory meetings at BAWSCA and that the City will work with the
member agencies to come up with something that is fair.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked about the potential for Burlingame to partner with other cities for new water
sources. DPW Murtuza stated that the City is working with Millbrae on the potential to utilize recycled
water. Additionally, he explained that the City of San Mateo is looking at a joint project with SFPUC about
treating water and sending it to the Crystal Springs Reservoir.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked if the City could sell water in the future. DPW Murtuza replied in the
affirmative. He stated that the City currently has water transfer agreements with the Town of Hillsborough,
Millbrae, and Cal Water. He explained that Burlingame has the ability to inter -transfer water between these
agencies when needed. He noted that it happens infrequently, but that staff will make sure that it is feasible
and that all needs can be met before it is done.
Ms. Sandkulla discussed the City of San Mateo's project and noted that Redwood City is also participating.
She added that there is a similar project in the East Bay with the Union Sanitary District and Alameda Water
District looking at the advanced treatment of wastewater for potable use. She commented that BAWSCA is
also supporting the SFPUC's conversation with expanding the Los Vaqueros Reservoir in Contra Costa
County.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked about water supply demand in relation to the Bay Delta Project being
approved versus not being approved. Mr. Colyer responded that the without the Bay Delta Plan, the impact
on the water supply during drought years would be smaller.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked about the 13% increase in Burlingame residents' water usage. DPW
Murtuza responded that the 13% increase refers to the City's overall consumption since the drought. He
noted that the bar chart later in the plan shows the per capita consumption.
8
Councilmember Brownrigg stated that he has more thoughts on the discrepancy between the charts and
wants to know more about water usage.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked about how much water life sciences businesses use in relation to other
commercial uses. DPW Murtuza responded that biotechnology companies do tend to use a lot more water
compared to other commercial uses. He noted that there are various technologies in use by biotech
companies to recycle water on site, thus reducing demand.
Councilmember Brownrigg suggested that as the City considers operating guidelines for biotechnology
companies, they could stipulate that a certain percentage of water must be recycled.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked why the San Francisco City and County Supervisors censured the SFPUC
and their position on the Bay Delta Plan. Ms. Sandkulla responded that San Francisco's action were taken a
couple of months ago, and it was following one of the many legal actions the SFPUC has taken to protect
their water rights against the State Board. She noted that the action didn't go anywhere, and the Supervisors
do not control the SFPUC. She explained that the San Francisco Supervisors expressed their concerns about
the Bay Delta Plan and encouraged resolution.
Councilmember Brownrigg asked if there were any provisions in the Bay Delta Plan that addressed more
water flow if there was a sustained drought. Ms. Sandkulla responded that there are no provisions for a
sustained drought. She continued that in the current plan, there is a range of flow (30-50%) that the State
Board can lower to if deemed necessary.
Councilmember Colson asked about the reduction numbers in relation to potential growth in the city. She
wanted clarification on if it is a per capita reduction or total gross reduction for the city. Mr. Colyer
responded that the overall number is what really matters.
Councilmember Colson thanked Ms. Sandkulla for coming to the meeting as there are a lot of agencies in
BAWSCA. She acknowledged Joe Baylock's email regarding the UWMP.
Councilmember Colson asked if it would make sense to apply new recycled water code into the work the
City is doing along the Bayfront for the Sea Level Rise Resiliency work. DPW Murtuza responded that the
City is addressing the water usage along the Bayfront and mentioned that the Facebook campus will be using
recycled water.
Councilmember Beach commented that single family homes account for around 40% of water usage and
thinks there is room to work on reduction there. She asked if there is value in looking at other cities'
demands and seeing how those demands impact Burlingame. DPW Murtuza replied in the affirmative but
noted that it is outside the scope of the UWMP.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked if ABAG has worked with any of the other agencies weighing in on the
potential water shortage and dry years. Ms. Sandkulla responded that BAWSCA sent a detailed comment
letter to ABAG identifying the significant impacts on water reliability and the impacts that increased growth
will have on supply.
9
Mayor O'Brien Keighran opened the item up to public comment.
Joe Baylock voiced concern about water shortage during drought years.
Jennifer Pfaff discussed the need to create recycled water requirements for large development projects.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran closed public comment.
Mr. Colyer commented that the numbers in the UWMP are consistent with what SFPUC provided to the
City. He explained that in a normal year, SFPUC has stated that they can maintain a 20% cutback. He noted
that during a dry year, if the Bay Delta Plan is approved, you will see changes in water availability from year
to year.
Vice Mayor Ortiz thanked staff for all the work that was put into this. He commented that this plan will
probably be amended sooner than five years with all that is going on with development and water usage. He
noted that the City will have to get a lot more creative going forward as this topic is not easy to address.
Councilmember Brownrigg commented that he believes it is a mistake to think of this issue as housing
versus fisheries as he thinks the issue is on the farming side. He voiced concern that the Council was only
hearing from one side about the Bay Delta Plan and that he would like to hear from its supporters.
Councilmember Colson commented that this plan isn't between just one or two things but a myriad of State
mandates such as water conservation, housing, food production, transit, and more. She continued that it is
very difficult to make all the issues work with the State -level mandates. She noted that the City will have to
be very adaptable and flexible going forward as more information becomes available. She thanked everyone
for all their hard work on the UWMP.
Councilmember Beach thanked everyone for all their work on the UWMP. She echoed both Councilmember
Colson and Councilmember Brownrigg's comments. She stated that it would be great to create a dashboard
to help the community visualize the water usage and what needs to be done collectively to promote
conservation.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran noted that the report is a living document and is worried about the notion of
consecutive dry years. She hoped that all would work together on shaping policy and direction for local
agencies.
Councilmember Beach made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 112-2021; seconded by Vice Mayor
Ortiz. The motion passed by roll call vote, 5-0.
Councilmember Colson made a motion to adopt Resolution Number 113-2021; seconded by Vice -Mayor
Ortiz. The motion passed by roll call vote, 5-0.

b. INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6.39 OF THE
BURLINGAME MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW OFF -PREMISES MASSAGE
BUSINESSES (CEOA DETERMINATION: EXEMPT PURSUANT TO STATE CEOA
GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15378,15061(B)(3))
ACA Spansail explained that many neighboring cities allow off premise massage practices. He noted that
Burlingame Police Chief did not express any law enforcement concerns about off premise massage practices
as long as the practitioners are California Massage Therapy Council certified. He continued that the research
was presented to Council in May, and Council asked staff to bring back an ordinance.
ACA Spansail explained the ordinance amends the municipal code to allow for off premise massage
businesses to operate. He stated that under the proposed ordinance, a person operating an off -premises
massage business would need to obtain a certificate of registration from the Police Department. The
certificate of registration would be valid for two years and would confirm the applicant has a current state
certification, CAMTC-issued identification card, and a valid business license. He added that the proposed
ordinance also requires a practitioner to keep a comprehensive record of all treatments.
ACA Spansail stated the proposed ordinance would allow off -premise massage businesses to operate pretty
much the exact same way and with the same requirements as current on -premise businesses.
Councilmember Brownrigg voiced concern over the safety of the workers. He asked if other cities have a
way for people to report abuse or concerns in regards to the workers. ACA Spansail responded that staff can
look into setting something like that up. He continued that staff believes that this ordinance will assist in
keeping practitioners safe as it would make the practice of off -premise massages legal.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran asked the City Clerk to read the title of the proposed ordinance. City Clerk Hassel -
Shearer read the title.
Vice Mayor Ortiz waived further reading and introduced the ordinance; seconded by Councilmember
Brownrigg. The motion passed by roll call vote, 5-0.
Mayor O'Brien Keighran opened the public hearing. No one spoke.
Councilmember Colson asked if there were any rules or regulations that restricted the number of massage
parlors or if the only restriction was zoning. ACA Spansail responded that there is a distance requirement
that gives guidance on how close massage parlors can be to one another.
Councilmember Colson mentioned that some massage businesses approached various Councilmembers
about the topic and wanted to work with the City on making off -premise massages safe for both workers and
patrons.
Vice Mayor Ortiz shared Councilmember Brownrigg's concerns about the need to make it easier for workers
to report abuse. He stated that he is in favor of the proposed ordinance.
11
Mayor O'Brien Keighran thanked the merchants that came to her asking to put this item on the agenda.
Councilmember Brownrigg made a motion to bring the proposed ordinance back for a second reading;
seconded by Councilmember Beach. The motion passed by roll call vote, 5-0.
