encroachment permit to begin with and was taken out based on the Council and staff recommendation. Mr. Sigmund expressed the intent of RCN to include Redwood Shores and made verbal commitment to accomplish obtaining a similar agreement for Redwood Shores M/S Hartnett/Ira to adopt RESOLUTION 13616 APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT GRANTING ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF FIBER OPTIC NETWORK FACILITIES WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT- OF-WAY (RCN TELECOM SERVICES OF CALIFORNIA, INC.) and direct staff to meet and confer with RCN for a similar agreement in consultation with owners and homeowners of Redwood Shores within 60 days. (304) Motion passed by a majority roll call vote with Council Member Leipzig and Vice Mayor Ruskin voting no, and Council Member Jordan absent. B. Consultant Landscape Design Services for the School Playfields Improvements Project Council (Sub Committee) Member Hartnett began discussion with a report on the ongoing discussion of a joint arrangement between San Mateo County, the Redwood City Elementary School District and the City of Redwood City regarding construction of new facilities on school property and the maintenance of those facilities. With the agreement in principle by the Council and the funds necessary for the City's role within the scope agreed upon, the agreement with the landscape architect is to provide the design services and prepare the documents to go out to bid on two out of three fields that had been discussed. The two fields subject to the agreement are Garfield and Taft. Based upon cost estimates and the County's available resources, the County is unable to commit to funding 100% of two of the fields. It can commit to funding 100% of Taft and its 50% share of Garfield within the approximate $1,250,000 it has available for this project. Due to the County's available money, the narrow window of opportunity for the bid process to occur and the fields to be under construction the recommendation is to proceed with Taft and Garfield. Council Member Hartnett continued description of field plans. Vice Mayor (Sub Committee Member) Ruskin stated that this is an excellent partnership in a time when the need for fields is great where the entire community will be afforded playing fields. Council discussion ensued regarding the future of Fair Oaks and questioned whether City staff could design the fields. Mayor Howard asked for public comment. Don Davis thanked everyone involved, urged doing the job right and getting it done as well as bringing Fair Oaks back into the plan.
