<br /> . . I . . <br /> <br /> Councilman Leipzig said Councilman Claire had made a good point regarding the <br /> Mezes Project. He said "It is difficult to say to a prospective tenant 'we'll have a building <br /> ',-- here for you, it will be beautiful, and it will be built in a year.' The economy is doing so <br /> well in Redwood City and in San Mateo County that they need it today....Again, the <br /> highest and best use is not the School District in that building. I would like us to save <br /> that project at all costs. Let's look at the Redevelopment Agency. That's why it is there, <br /> to do that." <br /> Councilman Buchan said "I can give conceptual approval to this draft budget." She <br /> asked for further discussion on the Economic Development Strategies and an update on <br /> the Rolison Road project. Councilwoman Buchan stated that the Mezes Project was <br /> critical to economic development in the downtown. She asked for further data on the <br /> other projects/ programs listed, such as the Retail Anchor program; and said she had no <br /> problem with the proposed 11th Amendment of the Bond Issue. <br /> Mayor Hartnett said the Council would look forward to a spirited debate during the July <br /> 29 study session. <br /> City Manager Everett said the Council will see the budget on July 1 and "we will <br /> asterisk ....a lot of projects, all of which are contingent upon further study of the <br /> Economic Development PIan....which will need further review by (the Council), knowing <br /> we can amend the budget of the Redevelopment Agency at any time." <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> -- <br /> 9.
