Councilman <br />Murray pointed out the policies include concerns expressed by Redwood City /-- <br />councilmembers including: utilization of subregional agencies for land use <br />issues; the Regional body to be made up of all elected officials; and the <br />Regional body would have no taxing authority nor power to redistribute funds <br />among jurisdictions. (704-04) <br />D. Councilman Murray advised that C/CAG discussed the NPDES issue and it was <br />advised that it is costing Alameda County $6 million to fulfill this federal <br />government mandate. C/CAG took no position. Councilman Murray advised <br />local, state and federal agencies were involved in establishing the goals of <br />the program and there might be other factors to be considered before voting <br />to participate, and that federal penalties might not apply. Councilman <br />Murray suggested the Council lobby elected officials to get rid of this <br />program as the huge cost will take money away from other services. <br />(704-04) <br />For the benefit of the audience, Councilman Greenalch explained NPDES is the <br />National Pollution Discharge Elimination System, a federally mandated <br />program to measure run-off. <br />E.
