c��i—��` . <br /> Recommendation: <br /> M/S Ruskin/Pierce to communicate Council support of enabling legislation to <br /> create a Countywide Park District to Senator Byron Sher. The motion passed by <br /> a unanimous voice vote. MINUTE ORDER 04-113 <br /> B. Redwood City Recycled Water Project- Production and Delivery of Recycled <br /> Water <br /> Public Works Services Director Ingram explained with a PowerPoint presentation <br /> the principles of the proposed agreement between the South Bayside System <br /> Authority (SBSA) and the City of Redwood City and the implementation of the <br /> Recycled Water Project. <br /> Public Comment: <br /> Marge Parkhurst expressed her appreciation that PWS Director Ingram is <br /> sensitive to the concerns of the community. She stated that people are not <br /> opposed to the use of recycled water but they want to know that it is safe and <br /> testing the water will tell us how safe it is. She asked that the Council assume its <br /> role as leaders in the community whose primary job is to ensure their constituents' <br /> health and safety. She asked that the extra testing above what is required be <br /> done. <br /> Christina Lai, on behalf of many supporters, referred to an August 2003 issue of <br /> the Journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology published paper pertaining <br /> to Cryptosporidium in recycled water that former Council Member Jordan had <br /> presented to Council and asking for a response. <br /> Even though the State Law does not require SBSA to monitor or test for <br /> Cryptosporidium, but on behalf of Citizens' concerns, we hope that SBSA can <br /> start monitoring and testing for Cryptosporidium now. She asked that SBSA <br /> implement ultraviolet light because at the Santa Rosa wastewater treatment <br /> facility, the wastewater is disinfected with ultraviolet light, which may provide <br /> 99.9% or more inactivation for Cryptosporidium. <br /> She asked the Council to give direction to staff instructing them to (1) Establish a <br /> deadline for a response to Dr. Rose's Crypto paper. (2) Prepare a report to <br /> reassess the health risk of Crypto in recycled water produced by SBSA. (3) <br /> Evaluate the method of testing and monitoring for Cryptosporidium at SBSA <br /> facilities. (4) Additional technologies to improve the quality of recycled water. (A <br /> copy of Ms. Lai's speech is on file in the City C/erk Department.) <br /> Mayor Ira stated that PWS Ingram is proactive in working toward addressing <br /> various concerns and comments that will be communicated in the future to the <br /> Council and community. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> -- __ . <br /> REGULAR CITY COUNCIL JUNE 14, 2004 <br /> MEETING MINUTES DRAFT PAGE 4 <br /> Nor Fo� cRanon� <br />
