ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Anne Hubbard, 3015 E. Bayshore Blvd., Sp 319, Redwood City, asked the Council to look into the matter of weeds and parked cars in the area across the street from Lyngso, between Seaport Blvd. and East Bayshore. Vice Mayor Chandler advised that some of this land belongs to Cal Trans, and asked City staff to see what can be done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST 1. Councilman Britschgi presented a report on the Council of Mayors Transportation Committee meeting of 2 weeks ago. This Thursday night will be the 2nd meeting of the group. Only South San Francisco and SamTrans were not represented, SamTrans stating they were not notified. Supervisor Mary Griffin was present as an observer. A resolution of procedure was agreed upon and will have to be reviewed and approved by Council of Mayors and County Board of Supervisors. Transportation Committee will meet every 2 weeks. City Council will have to review priorities and see if we still want to support the same issues. It appears that SMTAC wants to continue their oversight role in transportation issues in the County. 2. Councilman Britschgi asked staff for clarification on the BFI proposal for end of the month pickups of extra items, and if the bi- annual pickups of extra items would then be discontinued. Councilman Stangel noted these new pickups were for single family and duplex only. City Manager Smith advised he would return to the Council with more information in the near future. MEMO 10/13/87 3. Councilman Britschgi asked for clarification on the proposed change in the agendas of the Council and Redevelopment Agency meetings. City Manager explained it is the intent to limit the agenda of the Redevelopment Agency on the 2nd Monday to routine items only, with all the issues scheduled for the 4th Monday. Similarly, it is the intent to limit the agenda of the Council on the 4th Monday to routine items only, to allow more time for the meeting of the Redevelopment Agency. 4. Councilwoman LaBerge presented an update on the Fair Oaks Community Center program with the Human Investment Project. The City of Redwood City gave a small lot to the Home Sharing Program, and architects presented drawings to show how a small lot could offer enough space for a home to be shared by 6 to 8 people. Eleven architects participated. The results were dramatic and the the drawings showed just how much could be done with what is considered a substandard lot. This program will become a model for the state and possibly nationwide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- BOARD, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE REPORTS - None Reg.Mtg. 10/12/87 Page 2 MINUTE BOOK NO. 47 Page No. 383
