Proposed City Council Position re : Federal Moratorium and Proposed Budget Affecting Certain Urban Program Funds . City Manager briefly reviewed his report which had been submitted to Council along with a proposed resolution , and which alluded to several programs affecting Redwood City directly . Reference also was made to a copy of analysis of the Federal Budget for 1974 , and he indicated that sufficient additional copies had been sent for to provide to Council . He summarized the various vital programs that would affect the City , on which the office of the President had placed a moratorium as of February 5 . In addition to housing programs funded through Department of Housing and Urban Development , he commented on the fact that the Joint Powers Authority for Strategic Consolidation Sewerage Plan , (Redwood City , San Carlos and Belmont ) , were on the verge of making application for 80% combined grant , for which the three cities had planned for several years . What the priorities will be was uncertain at this time , and if funds are not made available , it would mean additional funds would have to be made up as City ' s share of the first phase of the facility from local sources , over and above the one and one - quarter million already planned to be raised for the project . He commented on the consequences of curtailment of Open Space Grants with respect to Red Morton Community Park and other open space developments , as well as proposed subsidized housing programs . It was noted that a delegation of Council Members would be in Washington , D . C . in March and the subject would undoubtedly be discussed . City Manager pointed out that under legislative limitations , cities no longer had the capability of raising revenues . Councilman Leipzig concurred in the City Manager ' s recommendation to urge other cities in the County to join Redwood City in its action and moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO , 6872 URGING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO RECONSIDER THE FEDERAL FUNDING MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN COMMUNITY DEVELOP- MENT AND ALL SUBSIDIZED HOUSING PROGRAMS AND REQUESTING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO ENACT SPECIAL REVENUE SHARING PROGRAMS IF FEDERAL FUNDING IS NOT REINSTITUTED FOR SAID COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND SUBSIDIZED HOUSING 2 /12/73
