Water Supply Assessment for the Proposed Kaiser Hospital Campus <br /> Expansion Project; <br /> <br /> Public Works Services Director Ingram explained that this is the second water <br /> supply a,~,:~essment the Council has seen in the last few months. He stated that <br /> the contents and findings are essentially the same as the previous in that nothing <br /> has changed in the City's total water supply situation. The only difference would <br /> be any project specific projections or calculations of water demand of the water <br /> supply of Redwood City. <br /> <br /> Council questions ensued and Council Member Ruskin clarified that for the first <br /> time, State Law requires any city which has a large scale development proposal to <br /> do a water supply assessment. It is an objective finding as to whether or not there <br /> would be enough water for the proposed project. The finding is folded into the <br /> Environmental Impact Report when that comes up. This finding is simply a report <br /> of the availability of water supply. <br /> <br /> Pubfic Comment: <br /> Christine Lai thanked Council Member Ruskin for the explanation relative to <br /> Marina Shores Village. She stated her concerns about the Redwood Shores <br /> residents' reaction to the approval of this finding. <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 4, 2002 <br />MINUTES PAGE 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
