b. Councilman Murray echoed Councilman Claire's concern and stated the County did not give enough notice of the meeting nor were they sensitive to Redwood City's interests in this very important issue. c. Councilman Murray reported he attended the League of California Cities seminar on Redevelopment and Revitalization today and came away with new understanding of the tremendous job Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Michael Church, Agency Counsel Hildebrand and staff have accomplished regarding the Redwood City Redevelopment project. d. Mayor Greenalch announced that Mrs. Eleanore Nettle thanked the Council for the proclamation in honor of her retirement after thirty -three years as a member of the Board of Trustees of the San Mateo County Community College District, serving several terms as President of the Board, describing Mrs. Nettle as a good friend of Canada College through the years. e. Mayor Greenalch stated that although it was not the usual role for the Council to advise constituents how to deal with other public agencies, the Environmental Protection Agency's recent actions and statements regarding the Westport area have caused a great deal of concern, and suggested that Council might want to send a letter to the EPA asking them to expedite their analysis and make a decision as soon as possible. Councilman Murray suggested a cautious approach, as urging the EPA to move quickly might result in their taking the most restrictive course. Councilman Claire stated he was more concerned about what the EPA was doing, the secrecy involved, and the comments they were making, and suggested a letter be sent to the EPA requesting information which would lead to a clear understanding of their concerns.
