The study was completed and recommended a change of governance <br />be looked at such as either a Joint Powers Authority comprising all of the water users in the <br />Bay Area or a new water district. A panel was set to take place on Tuesday, September 25, <br />organized by Assembly Member Papan and he asked Mayor Ruskin to participate along <br />with Mayors and Council Members fi:om Santa Clara and San Marco County. Mayor Ruskin <br />requested direction as to the position he should articulate as a representative of the <br />Redwood City Council.

A strategic approach should be toward creating a new method of governance <br />and simultaneously, in good faith, continue to meet and negotiate with Mayor Brown to see <br />ifa solution can be attained through negotiation. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to use the strategic approach as outlined by Mayor Ruskin.
