Feasibility Analysis - City Council "A" List Priorities for Fiscal Years 2002/03/04 initiative in Sacramento. Redwood City Council Member Ruskin has been elected chair of the Committee for Regional Water Reliability. · Potential obstacles There are now three separate bills introduced into the state legislature, with the possibility of more. Obstacles are all political and the core issues are tied to control and governance of the regional water system. · Nexus Two of the four possible ways for Redwood City to acquire additional water supply rely on the regional system for delivery: Wheeling water through the Hetch Hetchy system purchased in other regions of the state, and transfers of water allocations from other BAWUA agencies. · Estimated initial cost None. · Ongoing costs Annual BAWUA membership assessments (allocated on the basis of thereafter amount of water purchased from the SFPUC) are $70,500 for FY 2001/02, or 1.4% of the cost' of wholesale water ($4.96 million). Depending on the outcome of the legislative process now under way, assessments could rise and/or new one-time costs allocated to BAWUA agencies could be levied to implement outcomes.

In addition, we have some experience scheduling both the organized youth and adult play on school district as well as City sports fields.
