Rio Vista approves temporary right-of-entry with River Delta USD to drill test well
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2024-074 authorizing a temporary right-of-entry license with River Delta Unified School District to drill a test well on a high-school site to confirm viability for a municipal well; staff said no immediate financial implications and recommended approval.
The Rio Vista City Council on Sept. 17 approved Resolution 2024-074 authorizing the city manager to execute a temporary right-of-entry license with River Delta Unified School District to drill a test well at the high school campus. City staff said the site is identified in the city's capital improvement plan and the purpose of the agreement is to allow a test drill to confirm viability before any final land-use or financial decisions.
Staff told the council there are no immediate financial commitments tied to the license and recommended approval. During questions council members discussed prior negotiations and the prospective need for a land swap or other agreement; staff reiterated that the right-of-entry is a first step to test the site, and one staff member noted caution about spending significant sums (mentioning $250,000 as a threshold referenced in negotiations) until agreements are finalized. The council approved the resolution by roll call.
