ORAL COMMUNICATIONS AND CONSENT CALENDAR <br /> <br />Council Member Hartnett pulled agenda item 6.1 G and Mayor Foust pulled agenda item <br />6.1H. <br /> <br />Public Comment: <br />Victoria Eversole requested speed bumps in her neighborhood due to a car accident <br />involving one of her dogs. She shared that a driver ran over one of her dogs. Her intent <br />was not to criticize the Police Department because she believes they are efficient but to <br />alert the community that there are careless drivers. <br /> <br />Nancy Arbuckle, representing the Sequoia Audubon Society, shared concerns with item <br />6.1 G and the issue of the consultant possibly not being as independent as it seems since <br />the consultant worked for DMB. She opined if Council approves this consultant there <br />might be the perception of conflict of interest. <br /> <br />Brock Winstead, from State Senator Joe Simitian's Office, announced an upcoming town <br />hall meeting at the City Council Chambers on September 24, 2009 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. <br />and all are welcome. <br /> <br />Art Bush, spoke about a recent article on a DU I checkpoint. He made comments about <br />unofficial sanctuary cities. He opined that there is a certain leniency towards illegal <br />residents, and he disagrees with that. <br /> <br />Kaia Eakin opined that the City and the staff may be missing an opportunity to develop <br />trust with the community (item 6.1 H). She would also like to understand how this <br />selection came about. She believes that the consultant selected would put the city at risk <br />of possible conflict of interest and possibly lack of objectivity. <br /> <br />Aaron Lucian spoke about recent DUI articles and he said that it is unfortunate that <br />Redwood City does not want to pursue State regulations. He would like an apology from <br />the Police Department. He suggests having more checkpoints at that location because of <br />the number of infractions. <br /> <br />JOINT CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD <br />MEETING MINUTES <br /> <br />SEPTEMBER 14, 2009 <br />PAGE 2 <br />
