up at special evening meetings . An alternative to the morning meeting might be a late afternoon meeting , for example , 4 : 00 P . M. ; and two meetings a month would be a reasonable frequency . Mr . Mohr couldn ' t make another night meeting . Noon meetings were a possibility , and Thursday mornings were bad for him . Mr . Floyd indicated that there was apparently no alternative to the morning meetings unless some evening activities were to be eliminated . Long morning meetings would be bad for him, while 4 : 00 P .M. would be better if meetings proved to be drawn out . Mr . McGuire would have difficulty meeting in the morning because of his commuting problem, but on the other hand , evenings are also not regularly available . Late afternoon meetings are no better for him than morning meetings . Mr . Gonzales finds that his schedule is flexible , although Friday evenings would be unacceptable to him. _ Mr . Moriguchi arrived later in the meeting and therefore did not offer a comment on preferred meeting time . Chairman Keckley expressed his concern for public participation, but felt that the best turn out of the Committee would be at morning meetings and declared that for at least the immediate future , meetings would be scheduled for the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month to run from 7 : 00 A.M, to 8 : 00 A . M. Chairman Keckley' then invited comments on the members ' ideas about the role of the Committee . Mr . Gonzales expressed a need for exploring the overall housing situation , gathering data and just gaining information in general . Mr . McGuire expressed his need for more familiarity with the particular housing situation at our local level . Chairman Keckley noted that the Regional Planning Committee (RPC ) will have the proposed Housing Element on their agenda for this evenirrgb meeting , and that this Committee could probably derive a great deal from i hat is contained in that Housing Element report . Mr. McGuire further desired a schedule of local meetings of other Boards and Committees concerned with housing matters , and saw the A rst order of business for this Committee to be that of establishing directions. Mr . Floyd sees the Committee in the role of reviewing programs and proposals by others more than exercising an authority to go out on their own and plan and redevelop areas . Normal private housing can be directed toward accommodating families at different income levels . In the past , all mew housing has been supplied for just one stratum of the population . A lot of building is going on in Redwood City right now . The Committee can be influeitial toward having some of that new housing serve the other end of the spectrums particularly in the ease where housing is promoted or encouraged by the City or subsidized directly MINUTES HOUSING CONCERNS COMMITTEE SEPTEMBER 20s 1971 PAGE 2 OF 4 r ,.
