REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager September 8, 2003 Subject Redwood City Recycled Water Project Recommendation By motion, approve Task Order No. 5 and Task Order No. 6 to the professional consulting engineering services agreement with Kennedy /Jenks Consultants Background On June 11, 2001 the City Council approved the professional services agreement with Kennedy /Jenks Consultants for the Water Recycling Feasibility Study for the Redwood Shores area.
