Recommendation: <br /> 1. Adopt a resolution reciting the facts of the Special Consolidated Election <br /> held on November 4, 2008 and declaring the results and such other matters <br /> as provided by law. (307) <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 14912 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, <br /> RECITING THE FACTS OF THE SPECIAL ELECTION CONSOLIDATED WITH THE <br /> GENERAL PREStDENTIAL ELECTION HELD ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008 DECLARING <br /> THE RESULTS AND SUCH OTHER MATTERS AS PROVIDED BY LAW <br /> M/S Hartnett/Pierce to adopt the resolution certifying the election results. <br /> Mayor Foust asked that the Council create a means by which the various community <br /> stakeholders address the future of the Cargill Lands. The Mayor also made comments <br /> about the last six months and the Special election. Certain Council Members spoke <br /> about the need to compromise and to have an open mind. Mayor Foust explained that <br /> the original goal was to bring the various interest groups together and then have a <br /> community process that feeds right into the General Plan. One Council Member would <br /> like the community to focus on the whole area of the city and not just focus on the <br /> Cargill site because the General Plan consultants should have a broader scope. <br /> One Council Member saw value in getting in touch with the stakeholders and possibly <br /> assess what the choices are, but similarly understanding the implications and <br /> repercussions. One Council Member would like to see only Redwood City community <br /> involved. He believes the people of Redwood City have spoken. Vice Mayor Howard <br /> would like to bring the groups together and challenge them to work with the Council. <br /> There was Council consensus to pursue the option of a dialogue between the <br /> various interest groups. Council acquiesced that the goal is to empower the <br /> community as well as the Council to chart their path without empowering certain <br /> stakeholders that are set on their ways or might be unable to compromise. <br /> Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote. <br /> B.
