Stewardship of Native Trees — Multi Family Winner: Palm Gardens Condominium, Geri Kennedy, Manager— Roosevelt 6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS AND CONSENT CALENDAR Kathy Schrenk stated this evening upon her return home at approximately 7:00 p.m. she learned that a dog belonging to her neighbor across the street was killed by a speeding car. She reminded Council that about 6 months ago she had spoken about an automobile crashing into a tree in front of her house causing injuries and acknowledged that the Police Chief and Council were responsive at that time. That resulted in a better situation for 4 to 6 weeks while extra patrol efforts were in place but at this time the speeding is back to normal all hours of the day and night. She stated that her understanding is speed bumps and stop signs are not an option at the site.

Joe LeClair, representing People for Housing Not High- Rises, stated that his comments were not on the merits of the project. He expressed his dismay and disappointment about a circular that the Marina Shores developer (Glenborough- Pauls), Mayor Ira and Vice Mayor Pierce mailed out to the public in Redwood City. He stated that the referenced 61 % of the project being open space includes streets, sidewalks, parking spaces and private open space areas that will not be open to the general public. At best, he stated the information is inaccurate, at worst, it is misleading and the City Council should not be a party to this type of campaign literature.
