Civic Cultural Commission -2 - November 20 , 1975 The Chd i rman suggested that 1 he Commission point out two fundamental issues to the California Arts Council . These issues would be the establishing of a dialog and communications with local entities directly with the California Arts Council and that the California Arts Council be made aware of the con- tinuing lack of emphasis being given the arts by the schools throughout the state . It was the consensus of the Commission that these matters should be pointed out to the California Arts Council and that a letter will be prepared in this regard . AGENDA ITEM 3 - Landmarks Element of the General Plan The Commission discussed the Landmarks Element of the General Plan as currently being drafted by the Planning Commission . The Commission agreed that the draft was well done and covered the various points which the Com- mission had previously discussed relative to historical landmarks and the community ' s growing awareness to preserve Redwood City ' s rich heritage . The Commission discussed the goals , objectives , and principles of the study together with the standards and the proposals being offered in the report . Upon completion of their discussion , the following suggestions were made : 1 . it is suggested that a map be prepared to accompany the report which will more clearly designate the various landmark districts which are set forth in the plan . Additionally , the inventory of potential land - mark sites could be designated upon the map , which would make the report more understandable . 2 . The Commission recognizes that the report is still in draft form ; however , they found some repetition throughout the report and would suggest that final editing reduce the repetition as much as possible . 3 . Upon discussing the proposals in section 5 , it was pointed out that proposal 4C , which indicates the Civic Cultural Commission ' s role in the Landmark process , was meant to imply that the Commission ' s role would be one of review and assistance with input into the total pro- gram . The proposal as stated implies that the Cultural Commission would assume a role of an operating regulatory body rather then a review and advisory body . The Commission felt that this distinction should be more clearly set forth in the future drafts of the plan . 4 . Upon considering the implementation schedule , the Commisssion suggests that the Fox Theater-Civic Theater item be placed as number one for 1977-78 in the site and district development projects . It was also suggested that the San Mateo County History and Art Museum be placed as number seven and the Union Cemetery Historic Park be placed as number nine in the fiscal year 1980 .
