I City Manager's report to Council of March 7, 1968, advised of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFC) having set a hearing for consideration of the boundary between the City of Redwood City and City of San Carlos for March 27th, with request that a map and a written statement outlining the Sphere of Influence for the City of Redwood City be filed with their Commission at that time. City Manager asked that Council permit presentation by Staff of series of slides in order areas of apparent disagreement between Redwood City and San Carlos on this issue might be explained before Council's decision requested. He advised other boundaries of City presented no serious problems which could not be resolved or already resolved with Atherton, Woodside and Menlo Park, but that no change had been made in differences between San Carlos and Redwood City concerning area connected with Palomar Park, Eaton Avenue, Clifford School, since first discussed by Council and problems foreseen by Staff in this area should be discussed further. Planning Director reviewed points submitted by Planning Staff to Planning Commission including area in dispute of Clifford School, Palomar Park, and a section of the San Francisco watershed lands adjoining the State College site and extending down toward Canada Road. Other maps were shown indicating boundary of the Redwood City Elementary School District and of the Postal Zones for the City, all indicating this area of Palomar Park to be in Redwood City designated zones. He advised this area had been indicated to LAFC by City of San Carlos as being in their sphere of influence, including Clifford elementary school, and balance of a low-density residential development, review given of sewer and water facilities interlocking of special districts in the area, both inside and outside the City. He advised the following possible alternative for a sphere of influence in this area could include the following because of circumstances presented: 1. Include all of Palomar Neighborhood. 2. Include that portion of Palomar Neighborhood up to a line connecting Cordilleras Road with Clifford School, including the Clifford School site.
