Alternatives <br />1. The alternative is to withhold application to the BAWUA program and set up a stand- <br /> alone city program for BMP #5. Staff would not expect this approach to be as cost <br /> effective or to product tangible water savings on the scale of the BAWUA regional <br /> program. <br />2. The Council could withhold application and direct staff to conduct a cost-benefit <br /> analysis for BMP #5. If the analysis could demonstrate clearly that this program applied <br /> to the Redwood City market will not be a cost effective method for reducing water use, <br /> the CUWCC MOU allows for exemption from the BMP. However, this is not a viable <br /> alternative, since the potential savings in landscape irrigation water use - just in <br /> Redwood Shores alone - has been estimated at 10 to 12.5%. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funds in the amount of $620,000 are available in the approved Fiscal Year 2002/03 <br />Capital Improvement Program, Water Enterprise Fund, Conservation Rebates Account. <br />The maximum budget authorization recommended for participation in the Large Landscape <br />Water Conservation Audit Program is $113,555.00. Potential future savings in water use <br />and customer utility bills will be estimated at the completion of Task One per Attachment <br />No. 3, and will vary from site to site. <br /> <br /> Manny Rosas '" ~ Peter Ingra Ed Everett <br /> Public Works Superintendent Director, Public Works Services City Manager <br /> <br /> Attachments A.
