176 Formation and establishment of a Cultural Commission . Councilman Keckley , as Liaison Member , provided a brief background , advising that over a year and a half earlier , Council had directed that a Cultural Commission Study Group be formed , and submitted ' names . The group had been meeting twice monthly over that time , and done a lot of work on the preparation and were prepared tonight to present their proposed ordinance for the organization of a Cultural Commission . Council had received copies of the Ordinance . Mr . Robert Buickerood , Chairman of the Steering Committee , was invited to comment and to introduce the members of his Committee . Mr . Robert Buickerood advised he had intended to read their presentation , but due to the lateness of the hour would forego this , in view of the fact there were copies available for the audience , and Council had received their copies previously . He introduced the members of the Steering Committee : George Dragan , Vice Chairman , Glenn Smith , Secretary , David Harris (not present ) , John Krueger , and Fernando Vega . In the discussion , Councilman Henderson questioned a provision in the ordinance relating to the composition of the Commission membership to be residents of the City , or employees therein , since this was a departure from the usual requirement . Mr . Buickerood explained that one of the best examples was Mr . Krueger , who was Chairman of the Fine Arts Department of Canada College , but lived in San Mateo , and exclusion on the basis of residency would deprive the group of an outstanding member . He noted also that when the State College becomes a reality , other people actually working in this field would be available . There was considerable discussion pertaining to the staggered terms of the first appointees , one term to expire in 1972 , two to expire in 1973 , two in 1974 and two in 1975 . Members could not succeed themselves . Subsequent appointees would then serve a full four-year term . Councilman Keckley moved to introduce Ordinance amending Section 2 . 104 of the Code , amending Division heading of Division 2 of Article IX of Chapter 2 , and adding Division 2 ( commencing with paragraph 2 . 110 ) to Article IX of Chapter 2 , relating to the Establishment of a Civic Cultural Commission , seconded by Councilman Henderson and carried , Councilman Weymouth moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6522 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AND REDWOOD FOOD PACKING CO . FOR EXTRAORDINARY SEWAGE TREATMENT SERVICES DURING THE FISCAL YEARS 1971-72 , 1972 -73 AND 1973 -74 , seconded by Councilman Williams . In response to concern by Council whether the charges were sufficient for added City expenses , Deputy Director of Public Works-Public Services advised that he was assured by the Chief Sewage Treatment Plant Operator that no increase in the amount of labor was involved to operate the chlorine
