Robert Eppler stated that mobile home parks were considered in the study, they looked at the number of units to the size of the property and the number of parcels that fall in this category. The recommendation suggests that mobile home parks be considered in the same category as single family/duplex. Vice Mayor Hartnett asked for further information on mobile home parks and the economic consequences. Robert Eppler stated that the charge goes against the assessor's parcel. The economics are between the mobile home park operator and the individual number of units and how they wish to distribute the costs. General Services Director Ingram stated that one of the more frequently asked questions is, if the city has spent general fund money why not continue to spend it? Prior to the mandate the money was expended in various other programs such as streets, there was not a storm section that was drawing directly from the general fund. The legislation came into effect in 1987 and is grandfathered in the program. The level of funding can sustain the program and also enable the city to solicit work from other jurisdictions to bring money to the program which will be a win/win solution. Rene White, Co-Chair of the Farmhill Neighborhood Association requested information about monitoring the program. General Services Director Ingram stated that a component of the county-wide program is called collaborative monitoring with San Mateo and neighboring counties pooling resources to work with the Regional Water Quality Board to come up with protocol for sampling and monitoring runoff. Next year will be the base year and the third year of a five year plan. Keith Daum, Scott Avenue Neighborhood Watch Association, asked about fees for public parks, city facilities, schools, city community centers, the marina; how to handle situations where there is abuse of the storm drain; and dealing with flood areas. Robert Eppler stated that the Council has some discretion on tax options and this can be looked at on a case by case basis. Mayor Gasparini suggested that the City Attorney may want to look at alternatives on handling violations for abuse of storm drains. MEMO 4/18/95 Ralph Garcia, Ralph's Vacuum and Sewing Center, Redwood City, expressed concern with fees that may effect businesses. Mayor Gasparini requested information on GID 1-64 Redwood Shores assessment. General Service Director Ingram stated that more information will be provided in the engineers report.
