Vice Mayor Howard commented on Consent Calendar item 6.3 C and clarified that in her perspective, and contrary to what has been written in local papers, she and her Council colleagues are opposed to Measure W, not because of personal beliefs on wetlands, environment, Cargill or the bay area, but due to the potential collateral damage to property owners in the area. She stated the newspapers continue to report that the Council was influenced by the developer in its decision-making and in her view that is incorrect. Mayor Foust concurred with those comments.
