City Manager submitted transcript of BCDC Staff Report which he stated had been dictated over the telephone to City stenographers in order information contained therein could be transferred to Council sooner than could be anticipated from the Commission. City Manager advised it was Staff recommendation, in which Commission concurred, to continue hearing to October 6th concerning this matter. City Manager discussed advantages of a field trip being arranged for BCDC members and requested authorization from Council to proceed with such plans, with invitation being issued by Mayor Herkner. City Manager further advised dredging in this application was directly related to Marine World and should not be construed to indicate in any manner that if per- mission denied, Redwood Shores project would be stopped, as development plan could be rearranged, but that it would directly result in the proposed Marine World pro - Jett being ended. He further stressed why he felt field trip of extreme impor- tance for Commission to see the situation for themselves from both land and air.
