7. 1. E. - Page 2 <br />The City agrees with this recommendation. The City currently has a representative on <br />the District Board. The recommendation will be implemented in future recruitments as <br />necessary depending on the results of the recruitment process. <br />R11. Require regular reporting about the District's operations by their <br />representative at a scheduled council meeting. <br />The City agrees with this recommendation and will establish a regular reporting <br />schedule before the end of 2013. <br />Of the 14 findings in the Grand Jury report, the City is able to agree with F6 — "Trustees <br />and senior District staff should receive monthly financial reports" — as this reflects a <br />standard best practice that is followed by the City of Redwood City regarding its own <br />fiscal management. The remainder of the Grand Jury's findings (F1 -F5 and F7 -F14) <br />relate to areas outside of the City of Redwood City's areas of direct knowledge or <br />responsibility and the City Council was not provided with enough information to come to <br />a conclusion regarding these findings. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council could choose to not approve the letter in response to the Grand Jury <br />report or suggest revisions to the letter. If a response is not provided by October 16, <br />2013, the City will be in violation of the Superior Court's requirement. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no anticipated fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as <br />defined by CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in <br />either a direct or foreseeable physical change in the environment. <br />AUDREY SEYMOUR RAMBERG <br />ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER <br />ROBERT B.
