valve assemblies, and the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assemblies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
When the Fy 2002-03 Public Works Budget was developed, staff did not determine all the requirements to perform the retrofit work on the Recycled Water Phase II project. Staff must be

shuttles, lodging, and meals. Funds are available in the Engineering budget to cover all estimated
costs.
