__ i <br /> Joe Verga said he lives on the levy and he would like the sewer line, which was just <br /> spoken about, to go through the median (the area befinreen the two lanes) so there is <br /> less disruption and more respect for the homeowner. He outlined the benefits of this <br /> option. <br /> One Council Member said this is the first time he has heard about this issue and he <br /> expressed surprise. He added that this is just a Study Session and no Council action <br /> may be taken. Mayor Gee invited Council Member Seybert to comment on the issue <br /> since he serves on the Silicon Valley Clean Water Board. Council Member Seybert said <br /> that there are multiple steps to this project and it is still very much at the discussion of <br /> options level, and that not all the options have been vetted or discussed. He added he is <br /> a resident of Redwood Shores and he cares about what happens and the impacts. He <br /> encouraged residents to stay involved and provide input and feedback through him. <br /> Carole Wong thanked the City Council for creating a pedestrian friendly meeting <br /> because she was able to walk to this meeting. She inquired about an update on new <br /> wireless towers in the Shores, update on State Level or FCC ruling on this, and she <br /> shared that she has been meeting with staff and she has observed that there is a loss of <br /> institutional knowledge through all the changes. She finds that there is a need to <br /> educate each other on what the processes are. She said that she is hopeful that she <br /> will be able to resolve these issues through Bob Bell, City Manager. <br /> Pamela Thompson, City Attorney, said that with respect to wireless facilities, the <br /> Federal Communication Commission (FCC) proposed new rules which would reduce <br /> local control. So the City Council directed the City Attorney to join a coalition across the <br /> nation to oppose that approach. Ms. Wong requested the link to the comments <br /> submitted. <br /> Susan Klein inquired about potholes and how to get them addressed quickly. <br /> Vice Mayor Foust said that MyRWC is an option for those who want to report real time <br /> issues from the location the person is at. Mr. Ekern said that in general staff tries to be <br /> very responsive and there will be a special project that will address this issue. He added <br /> that in regards to tree roots, these are an issue and it is a difficult issue at Redwood <br /> Shores because they tend to rise up to the surface quickly. <br /> Julie Abraham inquired about the Salt Works and rezoning and the possibility of a toll <br /> road due to growth in this area. <br /> Mayor Gee said that there is no project and there is nothing there, the Zoning remains <br /> as is. In regards to the toll road this is the first he has heard about this but there will be <br /> some interesting challenges as well as a lawsuit filed in San Francisco regarding Muni <br /> stops. <br /> SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION/TOWN HALL May 5, 2014 <br /> MEETING MINUTES PAGE 3 <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 65 <br /> Page No. 144 <br />
