SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY - <br /> <br />Update and Recognition of Shopping Cart Retrieval Program; <br /> <br />Mayor Ruskin explained the program and asked Building Inspector Tott to come to the podium <br />to introduce the employees from Scott Junior Shopping Cart Retrieval who were present. <br />Building Inspector Tott cited the statistics from May 1 through July 31, 2000. There are 33 <br />participating stores, one store with its own program, and one with neither having joined the <br />City's program or developing its own program for a 97% participation rate. The total number of <br />carts retrieved during this time was 6,713 with the month to month average varying <br />significantly. The hotline number to report abandoned shopping carts is 780-7550. <br /> <br />6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS <br /> <br />Howard Frohlich spoke about traffic problems emphasizing that a four-lane road with two lanes <br />going in one direction should be clearly marked. He stated that in areas of Farm Hill, the <br />markers are not visible. The Jefferson Underpass is not clear with white markers on white <br />pavement and the Woodside Overpass has a visibility problem. At Middlefield and Maple the <br />left hand turn going south is equipped with a left turn arrow too far to the left, traveling <br />eastbound at the northeast corner of Bay and Woodside, the green light intended for westbound I <br />traffic is not clearly visible. <br /> <br />Janet Borgens stated she would like to have the Council work with the city to establish some <br />type of regulated rental units. She suggested a Council commission, board to look into the <br />unreasonably increased rent that has occurred in Redwood City. <br /> <br />Ralph Nobles spoke on Consent Calendar Item 7.6E (Cargill Salt Properties). He stated he saw <br />no problem with the flooding portion but has concerns with the Bayfront Expressway or the <br />extension of Highway 84. He stated that the building of that would be absolutely incompatible <br />with the purpose of the purchase. <br /> <br />Pauline Truscelli spoke in support of Consent Calendar Item 7.5C (Purchase of Kitchen <br />Equipment for the Veterans Memorial Senior Center). She stated the Center has an outstanding <br />balanced nutrition program, but the kitchen equipment is in need of replacement. <br /> <br />7. CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br />Items on the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine by the City Council and are enacted <br />by one motion and one vote. There is no separate discussion of these items unless a Council <br />Member or Citizen so requests, in which event the item is removed from the Consent Calendar <br />and considered in its normal sequence on the agenda. <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES <br /> <br />AUGUST 14,2000 <br />PAGE 2 <br />
