408 <br /> Association , and California State flags , if they are to be used , would have <br /> to be purchased , since the City owns none . Reaction from Club Mexicano - <br /> Americano was that the timing of Admission Day event would have an adverse <br /> effect on their Fiesta , being separated by only three days . <br /> Mr . Bob Wallace , representing the Native Sons <br /> of the Golden West , spoke in support of their <br /> request , and indicated many benefits are <br /> derived by the host City . He stated he would <br /> have to report back to their Grand Officer <br /> who would determine whether they were interested <br /> in having the celebration in Redwood City . In <br /> response to question , he acknowledged Redwood <br /> City would probably have a problem with housing . <br /> Mayor Bury noted that Council was represented by Councilman Henderson on <br /> the County ' s Convention and Visitors Bureau , Councilman Henderson indicated <br /> the Bureau could be of great assistance in the area of publicity for both <br /> events , and felt it would be desirable to have the Native Sons ' celebration <br /> in Redwood City , notwithstanding continuing support of the Mexican-American <br /> Fiesta . She felt these were two celebrations all could enthusiastically <br /> support , and that they could be compatible , rather than competitive . She <br /> suggested that if Council approved the request , the City and PCA examine <br /> together the possibility of acquiring State flags or banners , and require <br /> of NSGW that any that are lost or damaged be replaced . <br /> Mr . Wallace responded to further questions by <br /> Council , indicating they were agreeable to a <br /> Sunday parade as recommended by the Police <br /> Department , and that it would start at noon so <br /> as not to interfere with church services . He <br /> also indicated there would be no manpower problem , <br /> and that they would mist the Mexican-American <br /> Fiesta as in the past . <br /> Mr . Paul Sedillo , 728 Whipple Ave . , President <br /> of Club Mexicano-Americano , felt that the Native <br /> Sons ' event would be wonderful for the City , but <br /> expressed concern with regard to the back- to -back <br /> nature of the two celebrations , and that having a <br /> large parade would hurt theirs the following week <br /> end . <br /> Mayor Bury noted that the dates for the two celebrations were historically <br /> established . Councilman Petersen felt that the request should be approved , <br /> particularly since this was the first time Redwood City was being considered <br /> as host city and it was a one - time event . In continuing discussion , City <br /> Manager suggested that because of the concern of the sponsors of Club Mexicano- <br /> Americano , Council might want to encourage the two groups to get together <br /> to work out concerns , and offered the City offices to accomplish this . <br /> Mr . Wallace gave assurance of their cooperation with <br /> regard to continuing to assist with the Fiesta parade . <br /> Mrs . Edwards , 857 Cornwall Court , Sunnyvale , expressed <br /> concern in behalf of the Mexican community . <br /> Mr . Frank Falk , 217 Encina Avenue , Manager , PCA , <br /> indicated there was no competitiveness with regard <br /> to the two celebrations , and briefly described the <br /> types of activities expected to be conducted during _ . <br /> the Admission Day event . <br /> Dr . Ernest E. Schnoor , 566 Santa Clara Avenue , <br /> expressed hope solutions could be found , since <br /> the two groups represented two great traditions . <br /> 2 -7-.72 <br />
