C/CAG will be considering filing a <br />defensive appeal on behalf of all 21 jurisdictions to ensure municipal arguments are <br />considered in the appeal process. C/CAG can withdraw its appeal, if no others file. At <br />least one appeal by a non-governmental organization (NGO) is expected and the City of <br />San Jose is likely to file as well. C/CAG has approximately $75,000 in its budget to <br />support appeals and lawsuits; and, it will cover the legal cost of this appeal. <br /> <br />It should be noted that the filing of this appeal does not address the onerous issue of <br />State imposed unfunded mandates. C/CAG advises that agencies will need to file a <br />case with the Commission on State Mandates within the next year to address this issue. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council could opt not to file an appeal of the MRP; however, if other agencies, <br />particularly NGOs file, issues that affect the City of Redwood City will not be heard <br />during the appeal process. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact to the City resulting from the adoption of this motion. <br /> <br />/l1{UJ <br /> <br />Marilyn Hara <br />Public Works Superintendent <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Peter C.
