This report will include comments and input from City personnel to review regarding the just completed project. This report will also provide City personnel an opportunity to provide timely feedback on aspects of the project that went well and aspects of the project that need improvement. This feedback will then be formulated into the following years' work plan. 8. The level of Redwood City staff involvement is virtually up to the City. The minimum level of involvement we would require is approximately 8-12 hours for department interviews, data collection, and input on the propriety of cost allocation base options. Additional time will be required to review the draft cost allocation plan, and at the final plan review level. Pre-project outreach meetings and post-project training sessions would be additional opportunities for City staff to be involved in the process. We do not want to burden City staff at any time during this process, but a certain minimum amount of time is necessary for any cost allocation project. MGT 16 Of AMEII,CA, INC
