. . I - - much like the rhythm of the design. It is really quite beautiful. And also if you would carry this message back....! know you are doing some internal encouragement to have employees travel at different times rather than peak hours. You have flexible hours and a shuttle bus which....is quite successful. I would - encourage you to do whatever you can do to keep the employees going at different times and taking mass transportation as much as possible." Councilman Leipzig said that in Marine World's place "we all agree that Oracle Corporation has added tremendously to Redwood City and the neighborhood of Redwood Shores.....From a real estate standpoint I want to let my colleagues know the advantage that (Oracle) brings to our image in Redwood City, people moving to Redwood City.....People drive down the Bayshore or we pick them up uom the airport and say 'Gee what is that campus there, what are those towers?' We say that is Oracle, and it is unbelievable the magnetism that it has, the visual, as well as saying Oracle is in Redwood City. It is a huge, huge benefit beyond what we can see in dollars to our City." Councilman Ruskin said "I am very happy that Oracle is expanding here, and I want to thank Oracle for allowing the architects the ueedom to create this vision. It is a beautiful campus. It will be something our City can be proud of for a long time, and I fully understand the pride that the architect took in showing us this model." Vice Mayor Howard said "I am very pleased to hear that 600 of your employees - live in.....Redwood City. With the new building coming on board, I hope that maybe we can encourage some of the developers who are building new housing out in Redwood Shores (to) come and talk to you and offer incentives for your employees....to possibly live in that area. It would cut down on traffic, and it would certainly be nice to live and work in the same area now that we have a school, a community center and a fire station planned." Councilwoman Buchan said "I too am very glad at the expansion of Oracle, very grateful for their presence in our community." ITERATION OF MOTION MIS: CLAIREILEIPZIG. TITLE READ. FIRST READING.
