Item No. 4 (continued) <br />Tom Nolan, San Mateo County Supervisor, and member of the 49ers Committee <br />said that Committee commitment to Little League is strong and the expectation <br />is that better fields will be found; that approval of the concept for <br />agreement is all that is requested; and that the Committee is willing to <br />continue working to keep the 49ers here. <br />Diane Howard, 415 Portofino, San Carlos, existing President of the Highlander <br />Little League, would like a guarantee that there will be fields available for <br />the exclusive use of Little League. <br />Nita Spangler, 970 Edgewood Road, said the City is short on recreation <br />property and suggested the 49ers are not paying a fair amount for the land <br />they use and that Council should consider the impact of any loss of parkland. <br />Mrs. Spangler also suggested that at some point it might be desirable to ask <br />for an advisory vote on the matter and noted legal questions may exist <br />regarding private use of public land. <br />Mr. Royer said that there is nothing in the recommendation to suggest that <br />city land would be given away, but rather that the 49ers building would <br />revert to the City and that the Committee is well aware of lease <br />requirements. <br />Mr. Hemmis, 1640 Lark, opposed any attempts to keep the 49ers at the expense <br />of children and the taxpayers. <br />Joe Eddie Trujillo, resident, urged that children's recreation needs be the <br />first consideration. <br />In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Griffiths said that <br />Recreation Supervisor Wooten can provide Little League needs information; <br />that recreation facilities are stretched to full use; and that investigation <br />time is needed. <br />M /S: Britschgi /Greenalch to accept the report of the 49ers Committee and <br />continue exploring the Committee recommendations. <br />(Recommendations for terms of agreement at present site are: <br />1) The 49ers be given exclusive use of their present facilities and playing <br />fields, including the old Mitchell field. <br />2) The 49ers be given exclusive use of Kiwanis Field and the Police Youth <br />Club site for the purpose of constructing a new administrative office <br />building. <br />a) Present 49ers facility to revert to the City for joint use of the <br />Police Youth Club and the City of Redwood City. <br />b) Police Youth Club to be provided with an interim use building while <br />the 49ers build their new facility. <br />MINUTE BOOK NO. 46 <br />Page No. 378 <br />Reg.Mtg. <br />9/8/86 <br />Page 5 <br />— -- - -- -i <br />
