From: Clara Jaeckel <br />To: GRP -City Council <br />Subject: comment for Agenda Item 7A (planning commission) in 9/21 council meeting <br />Date: Saturday, September 19, 2020 2:40:52 AM <br />As you consider which candidates to appoint to the planning commission, I urge you to strive <br />to diversify the commission membership. Please ensure that the commission includes <br />members who are from different neighborhoods within the city, so that no one neighborhood <br />dominates the commission, and who represent demographics not always fully represented in <br />the past, including tenant and people who cannot easily afford to own their own homes at <br />current prices, multigenerational households, and a range of age groups. <br />Having a diverse and representative planning commission will be key in order to realize the <br />strategic goals of increasing affordable housing and promoting the wellbeing of all Redwood <br />CIty residents. <br />Thank you, <br />Clara Jaeckel <br />
