that we can to keep our firefighters safe. Cancer prevention and identification at an early stage if

the leading cause of death for firefighters. The building materials in modern homes, such as fibers

exams, oncology consultations, prostate exam, breast cancer screening, colonoscopies, CT and
MRI scans, and blood tests. This is a great way to maximize a grant opportunity and keep
firefighters safe.

Resolution No. 5626, Authorizing the City of Chandler to Enter into an Agreement for
Accounting and Delivery of Water Made Available in the Modified Roosevelt Dam Flood
Control Space Under a Temporary Deviation to the Water Control Plan
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5626, authorizing the City of Chandler to
enter into an agreement for accounting and delivery of water made available in the
Modified Roosevelt Dam Flood Control Space under a temporary deviation to the Water
Control Plan among various participating entities, the Salt River Valley Water Users'
Association, and Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District.
JOHN KNUDSON, Public Works and Utilities Director, said Chandler would like to participate with
the Salt River Project in a study proposed with the Bureau of Reclamation to allow an assessment
of the flood space left behind at the top of Roosevelt Dam. Above the normal pool elevation there
is a depth left for potential flooding events. The Bureau of Reclamation has a volume of water that
they leave open in case a flood event occurs. SRP has noticed that that volume is in excess of what
is needed. This study will allow SRP and Bureau of Reclamation to evaluate the reduction of the
depth left for flooding. This will allow more water to be stored in Roosevelt Dam, and participants
Page 16 of 19
will share in the volume of excess water in a flood event. Any excess water would be available for
the city of Chandler to use.
COUNCILMEMBER ORLANDO added that it gets water flowing and thanked staff.
MAYOR HARTKE asked what the difference is between where the Roosevelt Dam is currently at
and what the goal is.
MR. KNUDSON answered that SRP has evaluated up to August, there is still a 65% system volume.
The 65% is a good goal for the end of the summer. The largest volumes occur in the wintertime,
so they leave extra volume available for use in winter runoff storage. Summer monsoons have
filled the reservoir to where we want them to be.

Move City Council approve Agreement No. PW1-885-4313, Amendment No. 1, with Aquafit

$11,193,910, for a one-year term, August 15, 2022, through August 14, 2023.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART asked for background on this item.
MR. KNUDSON provided background on the types and volumes of chemicals we use in water and
wastewater treatment. This also includes treatments for the aquatic pools in Chandler. We
purchase large volumes of caustic soda, alum, sodium hypochlorite, lime, and salt. We bring in
chemicals by the truckload, three or four a week to each facility. We purchase chlorine tablets for
utilities as well as aquatics. Labor and delivery costs and supply chain issues for all chemical
suppliers cause costs to increase. There is an increased tax burden being added to our bills as
well, which took effect in July to be collected by the federal government.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART asked for more information on the chemical tax.
MR. KNUDSON said the chemical tax is from the Infrastructure and Jobs Act which is a super fund
excise tax. The cost can be up to $9.50 per ton of chemical, which adds up to a significant amount.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART said we are passing on the cost of this federal tax to our residents.
Councilmember Stewart asked if the Infrastructure and Jobs Act had taxes in it for our water.
Page 17 of 19
MR. KNUDSON confirmed that the Infrastructure and Jobs Act had taxes in it for our water.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART asked about the cause of the 44% increase that was discussed in the
item memo.
MR. KNUDSON said that the 44% increase in the amendment was an average of all chemicals.
Some chemicals have higher increases, and some have less. Considering the total of all the
chemicals, there is a 44% increase on average.
COUNCILMEMBER STEWART asked if we could absorb this cost increase within our current rate.
MR. KNUDSON said we can absorb this cost within the current rate structures today. It is our
practice to review rates on a two-year schedule, next up in January 2024. Any planned rate
increases are quite low, any adjustments should be manageable.
