31. 2 Sewer Fund and is used for sewer purposes , either bond service in Shores , or other Sewer Capital Outlay . Controller reviewed the proposed rates in response to question , and also the methods by which cubic feet are measured . City Manager indicated that there would be a proposal that some of the larger dischargers into the system would be metered individually and not estimated . This would enable determining not only the quality but more accurately the quantity being discharged into the system .

In that event , part of the funds would have to be raised locally on a pay-as -you-go basis , or by bond issue . At this point it was not known if those funds would be turned on , and City is faced with meet - ing the requirements on the one hand , and fiscal restraints on the other , and did not remove the obligation to construct the facilities . A member of the audience inquired whether the funds would be held in trust until used , and City Controller advised that they would be set aside and kept in the Sewer Fund , and would not go into the General Fund , Councilman Weymouth moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 27 . 12 of the Code of the City of Redwood City , relating to monthly charges for sewerage services , seconded by Councilman Rhodes and carried on roll call vote .
