WATER QUALITY REPORT
|
Staff: Cavazos, Modeer
(Presentation 10 min.)
|
This report provides the City Council with an
update on water quality testing in the City of Phoenix drinking water system.
This item is for information only. No City Council action is required.
Back-up included in Council packet/City Clerk's Office.
Action Taken:
Deputy City Manager David Cavazos provided a brief
statement in reference to the City’s water quality and introduced Water
Services Director David Modeer to present the update on water quality testing
in the City of Phoenix drinking
water system.
Mr. Modeer thanked the Mayor and Council for the
opportunity to report on the quality of the water system in terms of the
operation and what the department is doing to provide safe and secure water for
the community.
Mr. Modeer provided a PowerPoint presentation which covered
the following areas: Historical
Perspective on Phoenix Water Quality, Pharmaceuticals as an Issue, Sources of
Pharmaceuticals in Drinking Water, Potential Sources of Pharmaceuticals,
Effects of Pharmaceuticals in the Water, What is Phoenix Currently Doing and
Why No Detection in Phoenix.
Mr. Modeer stated a therapeutic dose of medicine is
typically prescribed by a doctor and the compound found in any drinking water
system is 5,000 times lower than the dose prescribed by the doctor.
Mayor Gordon wanted to know if the data referenced one
particular pharmaceutical drug. Mr.
Modeer indicated this type of pharmaceutical drug was the highest concentration
of any pharmaceuticals found in drinking water systems in the United
States.
Mayor Gordon wanted to know if the mixing of multiple pharmaceuticals
would have an effect on the drinking water system. Mr. Modeer noted there was currently no
evidence indicating any impact to health based on the synergistic effects of
multiple compounds.
Vice Mayor Neely commended staff for the hard work in
reference to the study of pharmaceuticals in the water system.
Councilman Mattox stated he was in Cleveland,
Ohio this past weekend at a National League
of Cities Energy Environment and Natural Resources Committee meeting where the
primary topic was pharmaceuticals and drinking water. He noted the elected officials did not have a
concept. He commended staff for the
thorough report on the miniscule amount
of pharmaceuticals present in the drinking water. He referenced a small drop in an Olympic-sized
swimming pool to illustrate the level of pharmaceuticals.
Mayor Gordon
thanked the City management team and the Water Department for the report.

ARIZONA’S BIOSCIENCE ROADMAP FIVE-YEAR UPDATE
|
Staff: Naimark, Chan
(Presentation 10 min.)

In spring 2002, in partnership with the City and many other
stakeholders, the Flinn Foundation commissioned the Battelle Memorial Institute (Battelle)
to conduct a comprehensive study of the biosciences sector in Arizona to assess the
state’s competitive position in the biosciences and to develop a strategic plan
for the bioscience industry for the next decade. This report provides information to the Mayor
and City Council on Arizona’s Bioscience
Roadmap five-year update.
This item is for information
only. No City Council action is
required.
Back-up included in
Council packet/City Clerk’s Office.
Action Taken:
Deputy City Manager
Rick Naimark provided a brief statement in reference to the future of
Bioscience in Phoenix and the state. He introduced Downtown Development Office
Director John Chan and Dr. Walter Plosila, Senior
Advisor with Battelle Technology Partnership. Mr. Naimark acknowledged Saundra Johnson,
Executive Vice President of the Flinn Foundation.
Dr. Plosila presented a PowerPoint presentation illustrating
the following points: Inherited/Created Assets in the New Economy, Why Should
Arizona and Phoenix Invest in Bio, Arizona Bioscience Roadmap, the 10-year
Vision, Statewide Approach, What Makes Arizona Unique, Success Metrics
(2002-2006), Roadmap Implementation, Arizona Targets of Opportunity
(2002-2005), Arizona Signature Opportunities Going Forward and the Arizona
Bioscience Vision (2007-2012).
Dr. Plosila stated the goal was to develop Arizona as a global biomedical research and
bioscience commercial center over the next 20 years. He indicated the steps would be to make
strategic investments in research infrastructure and commercialization in
addition to recruiting intellectual capital.
Councilman Stanton noted the overwhelming skepticism in
reference to the initial investment in biosciences. He indicated the investment in biosciences
was initially thought to have been a waste of effort as Phoenix
was far behind areas such as Boston
and San Francisco. He noted the investment was made in the best
and brightest which has become T-Gen. He
acknowledged the Flinn Foundation for the tremendous role of guiding the public
bodies, business leaders and others.
Dr. Plosila thanked the Mayor and Council for the
collaborative effort and support.
