From: <br />To: GRP -City Council <br />Subject: County latest emergency meeting today. <br />Date: Thursday, November 5, 2020 5:49:03 PM <br />Hello City Council members, <br />It's unclear how much any of you knew that the county is purchasing two locations within <br />Redwood City for the homeless. <br />The Shores community is upset that no one let us know until a few days ago. We understand <br />there is a need and the timeline is extremely short. But Redwood City as a whole should have <br />been told this was a possibility. <br />I just spoke to Mayor Howard and she didn't even know there was a meeting today which the <br />county approved purchasing the two locations. <br />RSCA is adamant we will be part of the process from now on regarding the property in the <br />Shores just purchased. As most of you know we have had a space on the Heron Court board <br />for almost 30 years. <br />We have directly stated to the county that RWC is losing the property and hotel tax for two <br />hotels which is a hard hit for our city. We will work hard to make sure the county fulfills their <br />promise to pay RWC back forever for the loss of tax monies. <br />Honestly we are not very trusting of the county but will be keeping our eyes and ears open as <br />to what we are now into. Our biggest concern is the future for these two facilities. When your <br />rushed into a project like this big mistakes are made. <br />Please if you have any suggestions how we can work closer with the county for our city let me <br />know. It's a little shocking how little anyone knew of what they were planning... <br />Best Sue Nix <br />President of the Redwood Shores Community Association <br />
