He added that this list could also include cities that the t previously surveyed. Additionally, the Finance Committee might :s to be compared. He noted that the list could be brought to everyone is in agreement on the cities to be surveyed. In respo Council Member Daigle's question pertaining to Item No. 10 (OCTA Cooperss a Agreement), Public Works Director Badum stated that, due to their financial situation, the TCA will be unable to provide funding for this project and that, with the new Measure M competitive program starting soon, the City may be in a good position to receive a substantial amount of funding for this project in that process. 2. FLUORIDE IN DRINKING WATER. Utilities Director Myrter provided the staff report using a PowerPoint presentation. He spoke to Metropolitan Water District (MWD) changes in the fluoride level and water supply sources, and to the public notification requirements pertaining to fluoridation changes. Volume 58 — Page 284 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes October 9, 2007 Edgar G. Dymally, MWD's Water Quality Section, provided a brief report on the fluoridation implementation program. He noted that the optimal fluoridation level for dental health is determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the rationale behind the fluoridation project is medically related (dental health). In response to Council questions, he stated that the fluoridation of water is a practice that has been in existence since the 1970s; there are several water districts, including Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach, that have a long history of fluoridating their water; he is unsure why the MWD Board had not previously changed the fluoridation level; and that Orange County is represented on the MWD Board. In response to a question by Council Member C Mr. Dymally stated that the fluoridation of water is not a discretionary decis" a Council, and this matter is before the Council as part of the notification r e Mr. Dymally reviewed the fluoridation f the Diemer plant that services Orang ount November 19th. He discussed t cost es staggering fluoridation implem and fluoridation will begin He explained of message given to approximately 350 age there has been a lot of 1'rmatio nlmisi nfor as accepted, not just by ut by other re roles and responsibilitie, hWholesalei constru schedule, noting that will begin dating its water on -Dr. D nne uoride Information Officer for the International Academy of Oral Me nd ,displayed a PowerPoint presentation. Dr. Kennedy stated that t erica cademy of Pediatrics recommends that infants receive no %har de; a bab the fluoridated water delivers a dose that would be considered malprac as it contains a higher dosage than any doctor can currently e; and es have a duty to inform their water customers of this potential eir ildren. He added that the use of fluoridated water during a child's formati s (pre -birth to approximately 8 years old) can lead to dental fluorosis (i.e. spot or browning, mottling, more prone to fractures); and the American Dental sociation recommends that, if liquid concentrate or powdered infant formula is the primary source of nutrition, it be mixed with fluoride -free water to reduce the risk of fluomsis. In California, dental fluomsis is a proven adverse health effect, which is costly to fix: He recommended that MWD and each of its member agencies warn their water customers. He referenced a presentation available for viewing on You Tube entitled "Poisoned Babies" prepared by Dr. Kathleen Thiessen, who sat on the National Academy of Science for 3 112 years reviewing fluoride issues. He reported that the National Academy of Science voted unanimously that the public health goal for fluoride was not protective. He further stated that cities have a duty to provide water to its constituents that is safe for everyone to drink. Volume 58 - Page 285 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes October 9, 2007 Jeff Green, National Director of Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, stated that MWD is not mandated to fluoridate the water it supplies to communities; the communities never had an opportunity to decide if that was wanted; and, in San Diego, it was indicated there would be no cost to fluoridate the water, however, the cost was concealed in a water treatment charge which is also being seen in other communities. He noted that, since 1988, there have been no Federal safety standards for direct water additives, and the CDC has no jurisdiction over water quality. He added that there are things Council can do, such as 1) ask MWD if they have a study on hydrofluosilicic acid for review and 2) to ask for the data that shows the hydrofluosilicic acid meets United States standar for water additives, has earned certification for use per California law, an etely disassociates. He believed that this is Council's protective duty. ar as passing on the cost of fluoridation, he feels this is not an appropriate 'tion 218 increase, inasmuch as it's not passing on an increase from a sup r for r treatment, but rather it is an additional service. Kristine Carr spoke against flouridati ater. Dick Nichols stated that fluorida ter doe of help anyo d isn't needed for dental reasons. He questioned th t . chemical s they are only tested once a year, and how MWD arrive a correct amount so that the water is safe for all to consume. a added that th on on fluoride should be made individually. Kathleen Turpin stated tha he ified abo a flouridation of water and is concerned with child ends rme sted to know the toxicity of the water she is ng and state it' not ap to to have fluoride snuck into the water sup her state t the vo rs need to be notified; she will notify all her ds an d ones abo this potential endangerment; fluoridated water does g in port Beach; will decrease property values. L Porter verything possible to thwart the addition of the r supp distributed handouts prepared by the Fluoride Action rk, Kahuna Kupua Ho'ala, and John Emsley. He stated that fluori not addition to the water supply for all the reasons expressed by Kenn and Mr. Green; fluoride should be applied topically, not sted;and al of the City's residents will be better without this chemical. D Otti stributed a pamphlet entitled "Highlights of Congressional Test on uoride" and displayed a book entitled "The Fluoride Deception" written stopher Bryson. She noted that the last paragraph on the third page of pamphlet cited a comparison between Newburg, NY, which has fluoridat d its water for 50 years, and Kingston, NY, which does not fluoridate its water, and they found there was no appreciable difference in the rate of dental decay; however, children living in Newburg did experience higher rates of fluomsis. She added that Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in young men has also been linked to drinking fluoridated water. She believed that the City will expose itself to liability by distributing fluoridated water. She questioned whether fluoride levels in the City's water system will increase over the years, whether evaporation will affect fluoride levels, and whether public pools will be tested regularly. She added that this is a serious issue, as inhalation and absorption of fluoride is at 100 %. She requested copies of the contracts with MWD and Fountain Valley. Barbara Caldwell stated that she purchased Dr. Kennedy's book, as well as Volume 58 - Page 286 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes October 9, 2007 another dentist's book on the matter, has done extensive research on the internet, and is upset that no one gets to vote on this. She asked Council to do anything it can to stop this. Ila Johnson, Costa Mesa resident and registered dental hygenist, stated that she will also be affected by this and is adamantly opposed to this imposition of medication on them. She added that this is being imposed on everyone, while only children in their formative years will benefit from it, if there is truly a benefit. She asked Council not to impose it on its residents and hoped Costa Mesa will do the same. Blythe Fair distributed a handout on fluoride om and stated that she is opposed to being medicated against her will. 'mplored Council to represent and protect its resident: She indicated that s o t want to have to purchase reverse osmosis, bottled water, or pay more es to a something she doesn't want that may cause health - related C futur . e added that learning disabilities and behaviorial disorderss many oth lth conditions, are often associated with fluoride. S t Dean Bur a Chemist at the National Cancer Institute, tes ional hearing 40,000 cancer deaths in 1981 were directly attributa m. Chris Sullivan stated t she is oppose N ation and being medicated against her will and ther large numnts that don't want fluoride added to the water. She a t alter}Ly is offering to them. She believed that Council does h a 'n since they decide whether to In respo questions by Mayor Rosansky, Utilities Operations Manager Murdoch stated t the only water supplies are groundwater and MWD water; there are no other alternatives; as members of the Orange County Water District, 82% is the maximum established basin pumping percentage for all pumpers, which is based on the availability of water in the basin; should the City pump more than this percentage, there is a risk of being penalized at three times the cost of the water; if the water demand is reduced, the amount pumped is still only 82% of the water demand; and the City risks being dropped from the Orange County Water District basin for over pumping. Council Member Curry stated that reducing the water demand could result in a drought, which is not an acceptable alternative; and the residents have raised a variety of health issues. He requested that staff listen to the meeting tape and Volume 58 - Page 287 City of Newport Beach Study Session Minutes October 9, 2007 prepare a series of interrogatories for MWD to respond to relative to the health issues and then post it on the City's website. In response to a question by Council Member Daigle regarding rationing of MWD water, Mr. Dymally stated that he wasn't the appropriate person to address those issues. He added that, when the MWD Board was deliberating the fluoridation issue, many of the concerns expressed today were also heard by the Board; MWD has invested billions of dollars in the safety and treatment of water; and the Board would never do anything to compromise the health of the residents. He further stated that, if the City has questions regarding the health and safety of the water, the appropriate public health officials appear before Council to address those issues; and they have had Federa tate, "and local public health officials address their Board, and those officia insisted that the level being practiced by MWD is safe. Council Member Gardner requested Health Agency appear before Coun, them answer these questions. e 8. UPDATE ON CITYWIDE INCLUDING SUMMARY OF 1 lII. PUBLIC COMMENTS IV.
