ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None ACTION ITEMS: Chair and Vice Chair Election (election took place after Commissioner Comments) Commissioner Coleman was elected the new chair and Commissioner Kappes was elected the new Vice Chair. INFORMATION ITEMS: • New Municipal Storm Water Permit Khosro Aminpour, Sr. Civil Engineer from the Public Works Department Storm Water Division, gave a presentation concerning the new NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) permit that regulates all storm water and non-storm water discharge from storm water systems into receiving waters of the United States. The permit is renewed every 5 years. The permit is a region wide permit that covers San Diego County, south Orange County and Riverside County. This new permit focuses on watersheds. Within the San Diego Bay watershed there are 9 permitees: Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, Coronado, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, National City, City of San Diego, County of San Diego and Airport Authority/Port District of San Diego. One provision of the permit is compliance of BMP (Best Management Practices) by all co-permitees. Non storm water discharges, such as car washing and irrigation, are not allowed with the new RCC Minutes, 8/12/13, Page 1 of 3 permit. If there is no'rain, then there should be no discharge. In two years the San Diego Bay watershed permitees have to come up with a Water Quality Improvement Plan. The Jurisdictional Program of the permit includes a section on development projects that could potentially pollute the storm drain system. Construction sites need to treat their runoff at the project site and retain or reuse 83% of it. The City will need to make frequent inspections of these construction sites. A concept in the new permit is MDL (Total .Maximum Daily Load). Samples are taken at different locations along the watershed and this can be very costly. Khosro explained the different toxicity levels in the Sweetwater River, Telegraph Canyon Channel and Poggi Creek. • Clean Energy Chula Vista Program Mike Lemyre and Crystal Crawford from Ygrene Energy gave a presentation on the Clean Energy Chula Vista PACE (Property Accessed Clean Energy) program. Ygrene has been approved by the City Council as a third-party administrator for this program. The program offers property owners, both commercial and residential, the ability to fund energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservation projects that are repaid on their property tax bill over periods of up to 20 years. This keeps the balance of the loan with the property if it is sold. There is no cost to the City, since Ygrene uses their funds to launch the program and fund the projects. Ygrene has a training program for contractors and certifies them after they have completed the training. Property owners decide what energy improvements they want done on their property and also choose the contractor they would like to use. Some of the type of projects that this program can be used are new "cool' roofs, solar panels, solar hot water, new insulation and ductwork, new windows, doors & skylights, new heating and air conditioning, water heaters, water saving measures and irrigation, pool pumps and many more. Ygrene will open a local office to assist customers in Chula Vista. Property owners can apply online, by phone or in person. There will be a Stakeholder Workshop on Monday, September 16, 2013, at " the Civic Center Library. (This workshop has since been rescheduled for September 19, 2013 at the Police Headquarters Community Room) MANAGERS COMMENTS • Introduction of new Sr. Secretary Julie Lindsey • Municipal Solar Photovoltaic (Phase 2) Update Council approved the financing for the second phase of solar. This installation of half a megawatt will double what is already at City facilities. • Energy Upgrade California Cory Downs presented information about an Energy Upgrade California Homeowner Workshop that will be at the South Chula Vista Library on August 24. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS • Update on the Bayfront Wildlife Advisory Group— Commissioner Coleman The report from the August 8, 2013, meeting of WAG was passed out. Items discussed were concerning the "footprint" of the Bayfront, the Sea Level Rise maps and the collaboration between all agencies involved in the Bayfront. An ad hoc committee was formed to look further into comments made to this committee. RCC Minutes, 8/12/13, Page 2 of 3 Update on the Bayfront Cultural & Design Committee — Commissioner Coleman Three members have resigned from the BCDC due to conflicts of interest. Meetings will resume after these positions are filled. Information about this committee can be found on the Port of San Diego's website. CHAIR COMMENTS None ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 5:20 p.m. to a regular meeting on Monday, September 9, 2013, at 4:00 pm in Executive Conference Room 103, Building A, 276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910. Prepared by: Julie Lindsey Sr. Secretary RCC Minutes, 8/12/13, Page 3 of 3 Wildlife Advisory Group (WAG) and Bayfront Cultural Design Committee (BCDC) Meetings Report For the Resource Conservation Commission (RCC) Bob Coleman RCC Commissioner WAG Member and BCDC Member August 8,2013 WAG Meetinlz Report Key items were discussed by WAG members regarding the Draft Natural Resources Management Plan(NMRP). Of key note was the comment matrix that included all comments provided by WAG members (25 pages of comments). Overall,the WAG was quite pleased with the draft document. • A discussion of how the "footprint" of the Bayfront(three districts)would affect the"area" adjacent to the footprint. The consultant will rewrite a key paragraph so the distinction of how the footprint could impact the surrounding area(wildlife areas, marine environment)will be clear and tie the two together. • Sea Level Rise Maps will be incorporated,but only Port-approved maps. The WAG pushed for a"placeholder" in the document until maps are included. • Guiding principles of collaboration need to be included and be strongly expressed. This refers to all the agencies that are involved in the Bayfront. • The WAG established an Ad-Hoc Committee to take a deeper dive into the review of the Draft NMRP. This committee will report back to the full WAG at the next meeting. Other WAG members will have the opportunity to further comment as the draft document is finalized. • Update: The next WAG meeting is scheduled for September 12 if a quorum is reached. BCDB MeetinIZ Report The BCDC will not meet in August. Three members resigned and meetings will proceed after three new members are placed onto the Committee. Three categories of members to be replaced are: architect, business entity and City's Design Review Board representative. Update: As of September 4, 2013 a notification.about the next meeting has not been sent out. climate neig h'bor x for Chula Vista . .
