Proclamation for the Art David Basketball Shoot-Ont Tournament; (207) Mayor Ruskin read the proclamation acknowledging the Art David Annual Tournament to be held on December 4 and 5 at the Red Morton Community Center, and introduced Victor Morton, Chairperson of the Parks and Recreation Commission. 2. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mike O'Brien encouraged the Council to honor those memorialized in front of City Hall and expressed renewed trust in the City staff after the Idea Exchange event on Saturday, November 20. Aaron L'Hoir spoke about intersection of Whipple Road at Veterans, traveling west crossing Veterans as markings in the lane are deceptive and need paint markings. Ceramic bumps near Bair Island Habitat need replacing. Wesley Crescent Park on the northwest quadrant of the circle coming out from Edgewood, goes double yellow to white on the left and should be double double yellow. Coy Deal spoke regarding the hump in front of his house on the 3400 block of Hoover Street that is causing disturbance, lack of sleep and near impossibility to function properly. He spoke of the process and concern that the vote involved all rather than the residents directly affected. He read a statement made and repeated at voting site as follows: "If you vote to remove the hump on Hoover Street between 10~ Avenue and Yamell, the City will not consider putting any more bumps in and may decide not to install the remaining bumps in the area where the pipes are to be installed for flood". He felt the statement held Redwood City as a threatening ultimatum to sway the votes. Hillary Paulson along with Susie Peyton, Co-Chairs of Stafford/Stulsaft Park Association, spoke about Item 3D coming in under budget and reminded Council that Stafford and Stulsaft were originally one project and asked that the remainder money in the one budget be turned over to the Stulsaft budget. 3. CONSENT CALENDAR Items on the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be enacted by one motion and one vote. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Council Member or Citizen so requests, in which event the item will be removed from the consent and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda. Note: Item D - Accept the Stafford Park Play Area Renovation Project, and authorize the release of bonds; (AV&C Construction) was removed from the Consent Calendar because of certain investigatory procedures relevant to the project and will be calendared on a future agenda.
