STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT UPDATE
This supplemental report is for informational purposes only and provides an update on
stakeholder engagement completed subsequent to the issuance of the agenda item.
Following the Finance Committee’s May 21, 2024 review and recommendation to Council to
approve a $31 million line of credit, follow-up discussions were held with partner agencies
regarding the line of credit strategy. On June 11, 2024, staff hosted a special partners meeting,
with Public Works Directors or their equivalents invited, to provide an additional opportunity
for discussion of the line of credit approach. Staff from Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, and Mountain
View attended. Following the discussion, staff from those three agencies communicated their
support of the line of credit approach, including the completion of addenda to the relevant
agreements to document the allocation of the interest expenses amongst the partners.
Following the meeting, Stanford and East Palo Alto Sanitary District representatives were
contacted by email and voicemail message. Stanford staff responded via email to express
support. East Palo Alto Sanitary District representatives have not attended recent meetings and
did not respond as of the date of this memo.
