She explained that they were especially concerned with the historical sites in Redwood City and requested reviewing a model. Commissioner Pound had some photo- graphs of a model and contacted a member of the Civic Cultural Commission request- ing this be put on their agenda and further requested Mr. Jensen (builder of the model) attend the meeting and present it. Mr. Weeks indicated the matter was discussed at the Cultural Commission but that there was a question as to its authenticity. Commissioner Pound explained that Mr. Jensen would probably donate the model, which was his rendition of old Redwood City. Commissioner Rollins wondered if the model could be put on display at the County Historical Museum. Commissioner Pound further suggested a historical map be placed on the advertis- ing directory planned for the Downtown improvement. Commissioner Rollins suggested a "footprint" path be created going from one historical site to the next.
