Water Rate Design Study – Rate Design Overview and Discussion of Pricing Objectives S. Gaur of Raftelis Associates gave a presentation on the Rate Design Study that he is under contract with the Water Department to complete. He covered the following topics: Process for Determining Appropriate Rate Structure. Review of Pricing Objectives Water Use Efficiency Analysis for Single Family Residential Nexus Requirement for Tiered Pricing Next Steps He reviewed the Pricing Objectives priorities developed by staff and asked for Commis- sioners input on those. He reported on initial results from modeling of the Single Family Resident (SFR) category, saying he was astonished to find that only 2.5% of these accounts were determined to be inefficient using an indoor water budget factor of 55 gallons per person per day, a household size of 4 and a factor for outdoor use based on lot size less building and hardscape footprint. Even if he decreased the water budget to 50 gallons per person per day with a household size of 3 people and reduced the landscape factor by half, the level of inefficiency was still less an 11%. He noted that these levels are extremely low in comparison to other similar water districts. His observations are that a water budget rate structure for this account category may not promote further efficiency and savings from this structure would not cover the costs of implementation. Next steps in the Rate Study will be to fine tune the current inclining tiered rate structure for SFR’s and to do modeling of this structure for the other categories: Multi-Family – Inclining Tiered Rate based on # of units Irrigation Accounts – Water Budget Commercial and Institutions – Average Winter Use UCSC – to be determined Oral communications were received from four members of the public, including S. McGilvray, R. Longinotti, R. Pomerantz, and Sophie (last name unknown). Commission Discussion/Comments Mr. Gaur responded to questions from the Commissioners. Commissioner D. Baskin recommended that the pricing objective, “Perceived to be Fair to the Public” be moved up from Neutral to Important. Other Commissioners agreed. Staff confirmed that the results of this study will be returned to the Commission before being presented to Council. No action was taken. The presentation will be included in the original papers. 2. Santa Cruz Municipal Code – Revisions to Section 16.03, Plumbing Fixture Retrofit Water Conservation Representative Clara Cartwright presented a report on proposed revisions to Municipal Code Section 16.03 to change plumbing fixture retrofit requirements to a maximum of 1.28 gpf for toilets, 0.5 gpf for urinals, and 2.0 gpm in compliance with AB 715 of 2007 that requires these levels as of 2014. 5 Oral comment was received from one member of the public, R. Pomerantz. Commission Comments Commissioner W. Wadlow moved that the Commission recommend the City Council adopt an ordinance amending Chapter 16.03 of the Santa Cruz Municipal Code pertaining to plumbing fixture retrofits. Commissioner Stearns seconded. VOICE VOTE: MOTION CARRIED AYES: D. Baskin, G. Mead, D. Stearns, and W. Wadlow. NOES: None. 3. Water Conservation Master Plan Water Conservation Manager T. Goddard and consultant Bill Maddaus of Maddaus Water Management, Inc. gave a presentation on the status of the Water Conservation Master Plan update covering these topics: Update on project schedule Review Codes and Standards savings estimate Evaluation methodology of new measures including avoided costs as the basis of the benefits Next Steps He projected completion of the plan by June 30, 2014, and reported that he estimates savings that could be realized from future updates to codes and standards to be about 228 MGY by 2030, equivalent to about 6% of projected future demand.

Castaneda Date Department of History iii Abstract of FIFTEEN SECONDS IN THE FALL: THE LOMA PRIETA EARTHQUAKE AND DOWNTOWN SANTA CRUZ by Erin M. McMurry The Loma Prieta earthquake of October 17, 1989 devastated Santa Cruz’s historic core and led to the de-listing of the area from the National Register of Historic Places. Loma Prieta was not the first disaster to strike the city’s calamity prone downtown area. The project uses maps, photographs, architectural histories, the National Register nomination, newspapers, and other primary and secondary sources to trace the environmental and disaster history first of Santa Cruz city and county, then of downtown Santa Cruz as a whole. The project finally narrows the focus further and inventories the historic buildings present on Santa Cruz’s downtown Pacific Garden Mall in October 1989.

Paramoure ABSTRACT Purpose of the Study: This thesis is based on the excavations carried out at Cabin B to investigate the foundation for the Friends of the Cowell Lime Works volunteers who are restoring the cabin, to recover a range of artifacts left by the occupants of the cabin, and through the analysis and interpretation of those artifacts, to learn more about the daily lives and domestic behavior of the lime workers who lived there. The primary goal of this thesis is to analyze and interpret the Cabin B archaeological collection and related data to learn more about the workers at this complex. This archaeological assemblage consists of the material remains of the daily lives of the lime workers and can contribute information about rural industrial life in California in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
