Findings and Recommendations 10 findings

F1
The National Weather Radios provide a valuable extension of the existing alert system, cover a wide variety of emergencies, and are operable throughout the county. This possibility is, however, not well known and deserves wider publication.

R1
The City should review its procedures to accommodate safe and equal access for motorcycles in City parking structures. (Finding 1)
F2
Due to the current economic environment, the project was able to award four of its five major construction contacts for less than the original cost estimates. This saves the project almost $16 million.
No recommendations for this finding
F3
Even with the savings noted in Finding #2, the currently projected overall project cost has increased approximately 19% from the project’s original 2004 budget projection.
No recommendations for this finding
F4
While the project is important in addressing the short term needs of the participating agencies, it is not a permanent solution. All local governments in the County will need to develop long term strategies to address future water needs and threats to current supplies. The Jury found that many of the existing water resource planning documents are outdated.
No recommendations for this finding
F5
Many consumers will be facing significant water rate increases to pay for the project’s construction and ongoing operation and maintenance. Most of the agencies involved in the project will be combining project costs with costs for their current water systems. Over time, it may be difficult for consumers to identify which portion of their water bill is being used to actually fund the project.
No recommendations for this finding
F6
The project may have “growth inducing” effects and the governing bodies for the participating agencies will have to recognize and address this potential.
No recommendations for this finding
F7
The project will have to use eminent domain to acquire portions of the necessary right-of- way. Project managers will have to address citizen resentment inherent in this legal process to avoid the potential for project delays.
No recommendations for this finding
