2 includes environmental mitigation. He said we would have to determine what other project that would be combined with as it provides less than one third of what we need. Mr. Lynch said he finds that alternative attractive because the raw numbers are less and are included in the current water rates. He said he thinks it is a cheaper and financeable alternative. He said we will have to figure out how to pay for the 50 year project. He said doing three projects incrementally would be easier to pay for. Mr. Dennis Rooker, Board of Supervisors members, said that combining South Fork Rivanna Reservoir with Beaver Creek would come close to providing enough water. Mr. Frederick said that we have to add the cost of the treatment plan to the $18 million for the Reservoir crest. He said it is a feasible project, but we have not concluded where we get other water when you add up with other projects. Mr. Boyd agreed with Mr. Lynch about phasing in with ten year increments. Mr. Frederick agreed that projects can be phased in. Ms. Sally Thomas, Board of Supervisors member, said that on a day to day basis we have plenty of water, and we are only limited by our treatment capacity. She said the identified need is based on the drought of record. Dr. Brown asked for more information about using Beaver Creek only during droughts. Mr. Frederick said that over 3 million gallons a day is available in Beaver Creek. He said .3 million gallons is used now, and the need is projected to increase to 1.1 million in 2055. He said that if the industrial area is re-established, .5 million gallons a day would be added. He said water could be supplied now from Beaver Creek to the urban area without impacting Crozet. Mr. Lindsey Dorrier, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, asked about the plan to prioritize the short list, and Mr. Frederick said no decisions will be made about the preferred alternatives until public meetings are held. He said meetings will be held in late January and early February. Mr. Boyd expressed concern about the lack of elected officials on RWSA and he thinks we need to look at whether we want to restructure the Board. Mr. Lynch said that is a reasonable decision we might make, though he expressed concern that it is a time consuming board. He said from a governance perspective it makes a lot of sense. Mr. Lynch said we may also want to look at combining the RWSA, Albemarle County Authority, and City water services. Mr. Lynch said we have a 16 million gallon treatment capacity, and peak usage of 12 million gallons a day in the summer, which leaves 4 million gallons excess capacity. He said he would support enhancing the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir. Mr. Frederick said he can take that information into consideration. Mr. Lynch asked about the amount of bond issue built into the current rates, and was told $15 million. Transportation Issues Mr. Larry Davis, County Attorney, said he and the City Attorney were asked to discuss the practicality of a transportation district. He said there is existing legislation to allow this, but the drawback is there is no taxing authority. He said revenue bonds would need to be issued with a dedicated funding source. He said County bonds would have to be approved by referendum. He said there could be overlapping service districts. He said property taxes for transportation purposes could be imposed for transportation purposes, and could be the basis for issuing new bonds. He said transportation districts are interesting tools, but need a funding mechanism.
