<br />Vice Mayor Howard commented on Consent Calendar item 6.3 C and clarified that in her <br />perspective, and contrary to what has been written in local papers, she and her Council <br />colleagues are opposed to Measure W, not because of personal beliefs on wetlands, <br />environment, Cargill or the bay area, but due to the potential collateral damage to property <br />owners in the area.
