6.1E Page 2 The "governing body," as used in S8 610, refers to the City Council, which is required to approve the WSA at a regular or special meeting. What this means is that, in Redwood City, the Community Development Services Department is responsible for requesting the preparation of the WSA and the Public Works Services Department is responsible for preparing the WSA. The City Council is therefore responsible for approving the WSA. The Community Development Services Department then directs the inclusion of the WSA in the environmental documentation of the project. On November 6, 2008, the City of Redwood City Public Works Services Department received a request from the Community Development Services Department to prepare a WSA for the proposed Stanford in Redwood City Project. The Public Works Services Department has subsequently prepared a WSA within the 90 days allowed by State law for preparation of WSAs (and subsequent 30 day extension in accordance with California Water Code Section 10910, subdivision (g)(2)). The WSA was then scheduled to be' presented to the Redwood City Council for its consideration at its regularly scheduled meeting on February 23, 2009. However, Stanford has requested that City Council approval of the WSA be continued to the regularly scheduled meeting on March 9, 2009. This will give Stanford sufficient time to review the WSA and prepare comments for both staff and the City Council at its regularly scheduled meeting. ALTERNATIVES The Public Works Services Department is required to draft the WSA and the City Council is required to approve and adopt it. The consequences of postponing or canceling action are unknown.
