STAFF REPORTS A. Redwood City Recycled Water Project Public Works Services Director Ingram stated that both recommended actions are a continuation of steps being taken while moving ahead with policy decision making about recycling water. He stated that the project is as defined in the environment review documents, that is a broad umbrella project that fits within the service area of Redwood City. It is highly flexible and in approving such an umbrella project, Council will provide the opportunity for additional public involvement in determining how the water is delivered to various sites and various users in the future. Although there will be no approval requested for Alternative "E ", PWS Director Ingram explained it to help Council and the audience understand the difference between Alternative "D" and the subsequent policy decision about not having mandatory use in residential areas. He also explained the impacts of potential fee and rate impacts on current and future users. Vice Mayor Ira explained the formation of a broad -based community task force for what the Council has identified as goals at the last meeting. He defined the purpose as a time for real and meaningful study and testing. The structure of the task force is recommended to consist of between 12 -15 members to be appointed by the Council with the Council to be responsible for making the recommendations. The task force will be empowered to review the issue, develop conclusions with the facilitator and utilize resources such as Kennedy /Jenks. Any alternatives or financial anaylsis will be performed by the consultants. It is the hope that information from the task force will be done by the end of February and all recommendations brought forward will have attained a 2/3 majority. Council will not implement anything relative to recycled water until the opportunity to review the report of the task force is complete. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 11, 2003 MINUTES PAGE 5
