In Monday's Council packet, there are two additional maps, 13e and 13f which add the Bair Island neighborhoods to <br />Redwood Shores. There are several reasons that we do not support these two maps. The families and children of this <br />neighborhood do not attend schools in the Belmont -Redwood Shores School District, they do not participate in the youth <br />sports leagues that Shores residents participate in, and do not have the same issues that the Shores face. <br />In addition, Redwood Shores is already the largest (by population) District with 11,359. Map 13d's smallest population <br />district is District 5 with 10,685 residents, which represents a difference of 6.3%. Map 21c's smallest population district is <br />District 7 at 10,742 which is a 5.7% difference. <br />By increasing the population of the Redwood Shores District in maps 13e and 13f, the difference between the largest <br />District and the smallest increases significantly. In Map 13e, District 1 will have 11,772 residents, and the smallest <br />district would be District 5 with 10,685 residents - a 10.2% difference. In Map 13f, District 7 would be the smallest at <br />10,745 residents - a 9.6% difference with District 1. <br />In summary, Redwood Shores Community Association reiterates its preference that Redwood Shores be kept as one <br />district by itself. Maps 13d and 21c achieve this goal. <br />Regards, <br />Sue Nix, <br />President, Redwood Shores Community Association <br />
