Council requested additional information at next meeting on water, March 18th: report on what other communities are doing, especially those who receive their water from San Francisco; retain currently banked units and propose banking modifications; explore Countywide approach; provide as many alternatives as possible; Lower Lake is about to be drained and water should be saved; and based on penalties assessed, identify current water abusers, attach water restrictors, and report back to Council. CONSENSUS: It was determined by Mayor La Berge that it was the consensus of the Council to have the standing committee on water conservation, Members Vice Mayor Bury, Councilwoman Buchan and Councilman Greenalch, to meet with staff and prepare report to Council. MEMO 3/5/91 Manuel Sotomayor, 12 Riviera Circle, Redwood City, asked Council to consider City wells to ease effects of the drought. Staff advised City wells were closed over 30 years ago and would be too expensive to reactivate; and, there are possible problems of contamination and subsidence. Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director Griffiths presented a report on the impact of severe water restriction on Redwood City parks and recreation facilities and advised a more detailed report would be presented later on in March. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.
