We're asking the Council to direct staff to honor the 2023 solution that the City's own engineer <br />approved, accessing the creek from the sidewalk, the same as every other property on this <br />creek. Or, if the City truly needs our land, initiate proper condemnation proceedings and pay <br />just compensation as the Constitution requires. What the City cannot do is simply demand we <br />surrender our property based on an unrecorded claim that, even if it existed, would grant rights <br />to utility companies, not to the City. Property owners have constitutional rights, even against <br />their own city. <br />I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter further with any Council Member or with <br />staff. We want to resolve this. We simply need the City to engage with the legal and factual <br />record. <br />Thank you for your time and service. <br />Respectfully, <br />Stephen and Sharon Burns <br />2455 Carson St., Redwood City, CA 94061 <br />(408) 425-7771 <br />stephenburns@gmail.com
