Jeanne Roehm, 2474 Palm Avenue, member of the Aqua Terra Committee, a multi- <br /> governmental agency group cleaning-up Redwood City waterways, asked Council to adopt <br /> an ordinance regulating live-aboard conditions on boats located in those waterways outside <br /> the Marina areas. Mrs. Roehm advised San Jose is considering such an ordinance for the <br /> Milpitas area and that could impact additional live-aboard situations in Redwood City. <br /> Mayor Hartnett referred this item to the Council's Legislative Committee. <br /> MEMO 12/20/95 <br /> B. Redwood City Police Officer Gil Granado described last year's Fire Department and <br /> Police Department Christmas Toy and Book Drive and delivery of toys, books and turkeys <br /> to 200 Redwood City families. Officer Granado advised Council that they had promised <br /> themselves they would increase their deliveries to 400 families in 1995. They have <br /> enough toys and books but are 150 turkeys short. He added that they need the money for <br /> 150 turkeys or approximately $1,200 by Thursday morning. <br /> MIS: BUCHAN/CLAIRE ADD CONSIDERATION OF THE FAIR OAKS TURKEY FUND <br /> DRIVE TO THE AGENDA AS AN ACTION ITEM BASED ON THE LIMITED TIME <br /> REMAINING FOR RECEIVING DONATIONS (9:00 AM., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, <br /> 1995.) <br /> CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE. <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 95-262 <br /> MIS: BUCHAN/CLAIRE TO DONATE $500 FROM CITY RESERVES TO THE <br /> FAIR OAKS TURKEY FUND. <br /> Councilman Leipzig stated he would like to see the community and possibly individual <br /> Council Members get involved. Councilman Leipzig said that as worthwhile a project as <br /> this is "it is not the area the City should become involved in." <br /> Councilwoman Buchan stated she planned to support the drive with her own personal <br /> funds, but added that it was a very important gesture for the City to make to support this <br /> great effort by the Redwood City Police and Fire Departments. <br /> Vice Mayor Howard stated she supported a matching funds concept and asked the <br /> community to support this fund raising drive. She stated she would support it with her <br /> own donation, and said the City's donation of $500 was easily justified as it was a "more <br /> bang for your buck" effort and result. <br /> Councilman Leipzig offered a compromise: "Why don't the seven Council Members <br /> donate $500 to the drive and leave the taxpayers out of it." <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 53 Special Council Meeting Minutes <br /> Page No. 482 December 19, 1995 <br /> Page 2 <br />
