When Gary Redenbacher and I researched this and read every paper at <br />the Port, we saw that the council and Port had observed this religiously for <br />decades, and only asserted or claimed that one or the other entity had <br />jurisdiction over very specifically delineated public trust lands if they had <br />enacted ordinances and resolutions both sending and confirming receipt of <br />the transfer or jurisdiction. <br />This was diligent and responsible and in conformity with the Charter, which <br />may only be amended by the people in a vote. <br />The very simple inquiry here at all times, is whether the giving over in <br />1964 and giving back in 1970, put the portion of Redwood Creek in which <br />Docktown resides, as in the Port or the council. This was before SLC was <br />even brought in by Redwood City. They (the judge/RWC) made "me" sue <br />the SLC instead of y'all intervening or them interpleading you, just another <br />cowardly move of theirs, and not your fault nor mine. <br />This could have been resolved by a 5 day trial at most, confirming whether <br />the Port or council, under the charter, ended up with portion of Redwood <br />Creek on which Docktown sits. <br />But n000000, the RWC Burke law firm and Hannig had to once again use <br />gaslighting and shenanigans to assert this ridiculous argument that PRC <br />Sec. 6009.1(c)(13) precludes the PEOPLE of the State of CA from <br />adopting, in their local jurisdiction (whether City or county, as the case <br />may be) a CHARTER that creates an independent Port Commission. <br />This cynical and jaded and result -oriented chimera of an argument worked <br />for an OSC and Judge Miram then did not adhere to it on Demurrer round <br />2 where he said this is a triable issue. If Judge Miram felt his OSC had <br />ruled on this issue, jurisdiction was irrelevant and all I had to do was <br />allege concerted action (collusion). Not corruption, nor fraud, all of which <br />the court got wrong. <br />In any event, what has occurred, because of Mr. Hannig and the Redwood <br />City City Attorney and Council and their outside Burke law firm, is that <br />Redwood City now has a constitutional crisis, and an argument was <br />asserted and approved by the 1DCA that, if applied statewide, or in <br />another jurisdiction at any time, by another Superior Court or DCA that is <br />being result orientered, is a disaster for CA ports. <br />Notably, Oakland appears to have modeled its charter on Redwood City, at <br />least the one it adopted in the 80s. It uses almost all of the same verbiage <br />and provisions. Look at SF and Oakland and every other Port and see what <br />is intended, and what is the result, of independent Ports. <br />I will be seeking the support of every state assembly member and senator <br />
