Ray Wang applauded the City's efforts in drought planning and his comment <br />pertained to the timing of the drought plan and potential tie -in to the treated <br />wastewater or recycled water projects. He stated findings from the State's <br />Department of Water Resources' Drought Preparedness website and other <br />questions and concerns submitting his written comments for the record. <br />Robert Baldwin asked why Redwood City is over its usage and if we can <br />renegotiate for a better deal. <br />PWS Director Ingram stated that the reason for addressing the issue now is <br />because the Urban Management Plan is outdated and not reflective of the current <br />realities. It should address the Council policies about water. Ingram stated that the <br />forecast in the 1980's could not have planned for the rapid build out and its effect <br />on water demand. The 29 agencies will be in a negotiation process but the system <br />only has so much water in it. <br />Consensus by Council was to reschedule discussion and /or direction to a later <br />time.
