This <br />recommendation and all the others in the Task Force Report were accepted unanimously <br />and with gratitude by the Council. <br /> <br />In May and June of 2005, project team members met with members of the Task Force for <br />the purpose of affirming that the format and structure of this report would meet Task Force <br />expectations. In the course of the discussions, it became clear that there are several ways <br />for Task Force members to stay engaged in the evolving water supply conversation in our <br />community: <br />. The project team will be pleased to host an annual meeting for the purpose of going <br />over a draft of the annual progress report to Council before if gets finalized and sent <br />on. <br />.

Changes in water supply / conservation strategy related to recycled water <br />2. Cost increases <br />3. New technologies <br />4. New opportunities for expanded use of recycled water - both inside <br />Redwood City and in surrounding communities <br />5. Changes in pipeline alignments / customers <br />6. Water supply vis-à-vis downtown development <br />. Topic-specific, water-related activities, such as the upcoming 2005 update of the <br />Urban Water Management Plan will also be of interest to some Task Force <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
