39 William Brodie , 2500 El Camino Real , Palo Alto , attorney for Dr . Werner Salinger , requested continuance of the Public Hearing for one week because of the absence of two councilmen . He stated that they preferred that the matter be heard by a full Council . Don Seidler , 186 Santa Clara Avenue , Redwood City , representing a group of citizens in the unincorporated area of Woodside Road , objected to continuing the Public Hearing, stating he could see no reason for continuance and he felt it should be held as planned . Art Reisinger , 2628 Delaware Avenue , Redwood City , also requested that the Public Hearing proceed , stating that several interested citizens were present and he felt it would be unfair to ask them to return at another time . Mayor Bury stated that it had been Council ' s intention to hold the Public Hearing as scheduled and attempt to settle the matter in a fair and equitable manner . However , there were only four Councilmen present who could participate in the discussions , and those present felt that in a matter of this importance the full Council should be present . He also pointed out that there would be no further formal notification of the hearing . Councilman Weymouth moved that the Public Hearing be continued to March 15 , 1971 , seconded by Councilman Henderson , and carried on roll call vote , Councilman Rhodes voting no , Councilman Williams abstaining , and Councilmen Keckley and Petersen being noted absent . (MINUTE ORDER #71 -31 ) Report and Recommendation of Park and Recreation Commission regarding fee schedule and administration of Community Activities Building and Veterans Memorial Building . Report of Park and Recreation Commission had been furnished to Council . City Manager noted that the report included no significant changes in fees , particularly as it related to Veterans ' groups . He stated that Staff had taken two of the recommendations under advisement , as to feasibility and cost , and would report on these items at budget time . He also noted that Commissioner Doris Thompson of the Park and Recreation Commission was present to answer any questions Council might have . Doris Thompson , Secretary of the Park and Recreation Commission , advised that the Subcommittee on the Commission attempted to correlate the Community Activities Building and the Veterans Memorial Building under one set of rules and regulations and rental fees , with the exception of Veterans ' groups . It was also recommended that the size of the groups be taken into consideration and that perhaps small groups could use the Conference Room when the larger room was not needed . She pointed out the success of the Community Activities Building and felt that the two buildings could be on the same schedule with equal success . She stated that with the new scheduling under the control of the Recreation Department , better use could be made of the buildings by the Park and Recreation Departments as well as the people of Redwood City .
