What: Council and Water Utility Enterprise Board actions on water storage tied to the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) and the Halligan Reservoir expansion.
Where it stands: On October 20 Council adopted the water storage resolutions and Ordinance 148 (a Halligan capital transfer for NISP) on first reading 6-1, Councilmember Nelsen opposed. The Water Utility Enterprise Board adopted Resolution 012 authorizing the Mayor to execute agreements with Northern Water, also 6-1 with Nelsen opposed. Ordinance 148 passed second reading 6-1 (Nelsen opposed) on November 3. The Water Commission has had a Water Storage Update in executive session on its September and October agendas.
Next: Water Commission storage updates continue; no further Council step was read.
Details
Resolution numbers printed in the action agenda are partly garbled, so only the ordinance and the board resolution number are cited here.

Built from the City's posted agendas, action agendas and (where noted) minutes; large agenda packets were skimmed rather than read in full, so debate and public comment are mostly not recorded.
