In light of Courthouse Square’s significant positive impact on community life, it is <br />appropriate to commemorate the vision and sustained effort required to make it a <br />reality. Staff has reviewed the Monument Policy and concurs that adding a dedication <br />plaque at the Courthouse Square complies with the criteria set forth within the policy. <br />Courthouse Square is owned by the County of San Mateo; based on discussions with <br />County of San Mateo staff, City staff believe the County would support the installation of <br />a dedication plaque. <br /> <br />Staff recommends that a dedication plaque be placed on one of the Courthouse Square <br />fountains, visible from Broadway, and recognizes the City Council Members in 2005, <br />when construction began, and in 2007, when construction was completed and the <br />Courthouse Square dedicated. Proposed wording for the plaque is as follows: <br /> <br />Courthouse Square was dedicated to the residents of Redwood City and <br />San Mateo County on February 27, 2007. Construction of our “City’s living <br />room” began in 2005 and was made possible through the inspired vision, <br />hard work and perseverance of City officials, community members, and <br />volunteers. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL 2005 <br />MAYOR JEFF IRA <br />VICE MAYOR BARBARA PIERCE <br />COUNCIL MEMBER ALICIA C.
