<br />5A- 1, <br /> <br />Alternatives <br />At this juncture the alternatives available to the Council primarily involve policy questions <br />delineated in the Strategy and the various funding methods identified. The Council may <br />choose from a broad range of actions, from "do nothing" to adopting a financing plan and <br />aggressively proceeding with recommended projects and programs. Further improvements <br />(in addition to the Strategy projects) could include acquiring property for additional runoff <br />storage and/or relocation out of flood-prone areas of affected residential and/or commercial <br />land uses. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Should the Council choose to move ahead with the full scope of capital improvement <br />projects as shown in the Strategy, the current estimates suggest that $12 million of an <br />identified $19+ million would be borne by Redwood City. There may be some róom for <br />negotiating cost sharing, however, many previous efforts to address flooding faded away <br />due to lack of agreements. Also, if additional levels of flood protection are desired, costs <br />could range much higher. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />The effort to address flooding problems in the City now hinge on direction from Council to <br />staff. The staff is ready to answer any questions the Council may have and is willing to <br />provide whatever additional information may be useful in order for the Council to reach <br />clear decisions within the context of the budgeting process now underway. <br /> <br />Peter Ingram <br />Public Works <br /> <br /> <br />Ed flfW <br /> <br />City Manager <br /> <br />Attachment <br />None.
