ORAL COMMUNICATIONS <br /> <br /> Taylor LaMantia stated that she has been a part of the citywide Children's' Youth <br /> Chorus since it started a year ago. She further stated that what she likes best about <br /> the chorus is that is fun and they learn lots of fun songs. She stated that a <br /> performance is scheduled on Friday, November 22 at 7:00 p.m. at the Veterans <br /> Senior Center Theatre. She distributed invitations to Council. <br /> <br /> Robert Slusser, Chair of the 'Tis the Season Committee, sponsored by the Civic <br /> Cultural Commission, invited the Council to the event on Saturday, December 7 in <br /> City Center Plaza. He encouraged as many youth groups to participate in the holiday <br /> parade such as youth soccer, scout or other groups. The telephone number to call is <br /> 361-0801. <br /> <br /> Rudy Luca spoke about the cinema project and asked about a newspaper article <br /> stating, "City may fund the garage for the theatre". He stated that at the time the <br /> proposal was approved, the Council and staff indicated that if the package changed <br /> from the original plan that the project would not be accepted and now we are talking <br /> about another $20M to build a parking lot. He referred to last year when three Council <br /> Members not up for re-election decided to not hold an election thereby saving <br /> $35,000.00, pointing out that $35,000.00 is a far cry from spending $20M and giving <br /> it to a developer. He further stated that he believes the downtown can be revitalized <br /> with another project or more business than a cinema of 20 theatres. <br /> <br /> Pete Hughes spoke on behalf of Interservice Club Council and stated that a <br /> resolution was passed by the Interservice Club Council that acknowledges the <br /> contribution made toward the betterment of Redwood City.
