Recommendation: M/S Foust/Howard to deny the appeal and uphold the Zoning Administrator's decision to approve the Use Permit for High Tech High Bayshore subject to Findings and Conditions of Approval. The motion passed by a unanimous voice vote. (604) MINUTE ORDER 05 -97 7. STAFF REPORTS A. Implementation of Water Financing Plan — Recycled Water Pricing Policy Public Works Services Director Peter Ingram utilized a Powerpoint presentation (on file) to present a staff report depicting the next phase in the Recycled Water Task Force's recommendation, that of structuring rates and fees for delivery of recycled water. Mr. Ingram distributed a copy of a revised exhibit to the proposed resolution to Council Members (on file) and explained that the wording changes were minor clarifications. Council discussed various concerns, including making rates palatable to businesses that would utilize the water and future adjustments of the discount rates to encourage businesses to adopt use. Public Comment: Nancy Gilbertson expressed concern over the implementation of recycled water in Redwood City, and asked Council to call for further study of chloramine due to its potential hazardous nature. Greg Greenaway of the Seaport Industrial Association expressed support of the recycled water program and encouraged Council to pursue adopting a permanent discount policy due to recycled water's limited use and as a good way to create incentive for early connection by industrial users. Recommendation: M/S Foust/Pierce to: by resolution, adopt a pricing policy for the pricing of recycled water. The motion passed by a unanimous roll call vote.
