BOARD, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE REPORTS A. Request of San Mateo County Chapter AlA (American Institute of Architects) to present a Charrette in Redwood City (302-17) REPORT: Planning Director, April 27, 1992 Planning Director Joel Patterson introduced Tom Gilman, DES Architect and Chairman of the Redwood City Architectural Advisory Committee, representative of the San Mateo County Chapter of the AlA, who addressed the Council on the possibility of a potential design Charrette for Redwood City. Counc i1 man Bury described a Charrette as the cart used to carry the designs/course work at the end of the day, in the days of yore. Mr. Gilman described the modern day Charrette as a concentrated design work, done in a short time. Mr. Gilman described the Charrette done for Half Moon Bay last year with slides and handouts. Mr. Gilman stated the focus of a Charrette was to provide ideas big and small for consideration; it was brainstorming with pictures; and it was designed to take place in the downtown area to encourage citizens to attend and take part. Mr. Gilman asked that if Redwood City thought a Charrette would be beneficial that a donation of $5,000 to the San Mateo County AlA be made, and that Redwood City cover the costs of approximately $3,000. Mr. Robert George, past President of the AlA and General Chairman of the Half Moon Bay Charrette stated that if the City would like them to organize a Charrette the City could draft a letter to them inviting them to do so.
