Council may direct staff to act on positions <br /> taken by Council. (Copies of League of California Cities Priority Focus available in <br /> City Clerk's Department). <br /> B. Ongoing Matters <br /> 1. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) — Redwood Shores Levees. <br /> No current update other than it is ongoing. <br /> 2. San Mateo County Jail Site. <br /> Public Comment: <br /> James Jonas stated one of the areas proposed for the jail is Dock Town, and hoped to <br /> encourage the County to take a look at how this affects neighborhoods and sites. He <br /> wished that those in the involved neighborhoods could speak as to how this affects them. <br /> Nancy Radcliffe agreed that the County should look elsewhere as there are enough jails in <br /> Redwood City. She stated she is still gathering petition signatures which will be sent to <br /> the County. <br /> The Mayor stated they were also preparing a letter with a position on the public process, <br /> and the need to look at other locations outside the City, and also setting up a meeting with <br /> jail and County officials to continue discussion on this issue. <br /> 1. Update on Elwood Street / Sequoia Union High School District. <br /> The Mayor stated Council was given a written update on what is happening with the <br /> residents in this area and the Sequoia High School District. She stated they would be <br /> bringing this back to Council for discussion since, due to the late hour, members of the <br /> community who had wanted to comment had left for the evening. Concern was expressed <br /> over it being pushed beyond the next meeting. Mayor Foust suggested reaching out, <br /> through the City Manager, to let community members know this issue may be pushed out <br /> as far as the August 11, 2008 meeting if this were the case. <br /> 10.
