In response to Councilman Leipzig's questions, Public Works Services Director Ingram described the damage done by the January, 1995 storm and the overtime incurred by the crews who were called out to do extra work on the storm drains. Director Ingram stated the emergency overtime had not been budgeted and if the Council did not approve the resolution the City would not be reimbursed the $5,756 it was entitled to under FEMA rules and regulations. Councilman Leipzig advised that he did not consider overtime an emergency expense and could not support the resolution. TITLE READ.

APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF SAN MATEO, THE REDWOOD CITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND SEQUOIA UNION HIGH SCHOOL. (304) REPORT: Assistant to the City Manager, November 27, 1995 In response to Councilman Leipzig's questions, Assistant to the City Manager Centeno described the goals of the proposed Redwood City 2000 partnership between the City, the County, the Redwood City School District, and the Sequoia Union High School District to share resources and provide policy oversight of four initiatives (the South County Coalition for Substance Abuse, Taft School Healthy StartlPeninsula Partnership Program, the Violence Prevention Task Force and the Sequoia School Partnership to enhance Parent and Community Involvement.) Assistant to the City Manager Centeno advised that Redwood City 2000 had nothing to do with a federal program known as Goals 2000. City Manager Everett, Assistant to the City Manager Centeno, Councilman Claire and Mayor Hartnett described Redwood City 2000 and advised that it was not modeled after nor was it part of any federal initiative. City Manager Everett added that apparently a local radio station had advised, in error, that the two programs were linked, and they were clearly not. Everyone agreed it was unfortunate that the two disparate programs had similar names. MINUTE BOOK NO. 53 Regular Meeting Minutes Page No. 444 November 27, 1995 Page 4
