<br /> - and Councilman Sanfilipo had done nothing wrong as to matters under investigation; and <br /> could not fathom why Councilwoman Steinfeld wanted a public hearing to be exonerated <br /> agaIn. <br /> Mayor Buchan called on those who wished to speak to this issue. <br /> Pete Hughes, 18 Admiralty Court, Redwood City, longtime resident and Council attendee, <br /> stated he had never heard such a tirade, and asked the Council to dispose of this issue and <br /> quit wasting his and other citizens' time. Mr. Hughes asked the Council to stop Joe <br /> Steinfeld from disrupting Council time by requiring him to submit his comments in writing. <br /> John Lee, who operates a business in Redwood City, stated the issues had been aired but <br /> would never be resolved. Mr. Lee stated he did not like the tactics used by some people, <br /> but it was time to move on. <br /> MIS: LA BERGE/GASPARINI TO ACCEPT AND APPROVE THE REPORT OF THE <br /> PERSONNEL SUBCOMMITTEE <br /> CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> A YES: COUNCIL MEMBERS CLAIRE, GASPARINI, GREENALCH, LA <br /> BERGE, <br /> SANFILIPO AND MA YOR BUCHAN <br /> NOES: COUNCIL WOMAN STEINFELD <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 94-078 <br /> Mayor Buchan declared a recess at 9:20 P.M. <br /> Meeting reconvened at 9:28 p.m. <br /> Vice Mayor Claire stated that although he believed a grand jury was the place for <br /> investigations his colleagues charged the Subcommittee with this investigation. Vice <br /> Mayor Claire presented information and conclusions contained in the second Report. Vice <br /> Mayor Claire advised that Councilman Sanfilipo abided by the instructions of the <br /> Subcommittee last October in a memo to all Council Members to make no further public <br /> comments or written expressions regarding the substance of the investigation, but <br /> Councilwoman Steinfeld did not. Vice Mayor Claire advised that this request was to <br /> protect both parties. He added that he resented allegations that the Subcommittee would <br /> ever do anything unethical. Vice Mayor Claire added that it was the conclusion of the <br /> Subcommittee that Councilwoman Steinfeld tried to discredit the process and members of <br /> the Subcommittee, tried to prevent the testimony of a subpoenaed witness, and through her <br /> actions delayed the work and conclusion of the investigative process as well as forced the <br /> subcommittee to hire outside counsel due to her attacks on City Attorney Schricker. There <br /> were an equal number of letters from Councilwoman Steinfeld's husband that had to be <br /> investigated as well. <br /> Regular Meeting Minutes MINUTE BOOK NO. 52 <br /> March 21, 1994 Page No. 179 <br /> Page 8 <br /> - - ,"-.-.. -- _'0'0'.._'_.'.."""
