encouraged all to support the performance and call City Hall to ask about purchasing <br />tickets. <br />11.D. Mayor Claire — announced that another sister city of Redwood City is Colima, <br />Mexico. Colima just experienced a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 and <br />Redwood City International has set up an account with Bay Area Bank for anyone <br />wishing to donate to assist Colima during this time of rebuilding. A former student of <br />Mayor Claire now working as a newspaper reporter stated that while in Colima he <br />noted a positive point that a fire truck donated by the City of Redwood City was being <br />put to very good use during this tragedy. <br />Mayor Claire commented on the State of the City, pointing out that we are in the most <br />severe budgetary crisis since Proposition 13. The City Council is in the process of <br />addressing that budgetary crisis, we are not the only ones in it. Redwood City <br />Elementary School District is facing a loss of $3 million, Sequoia Union High School <br />District loss is between $20 -25 million, San Mateo Community College District is <br />approximately $14 million and the County budget is the worse at about $60 million. He <br />urged the community to contact our Assembly Members and State Senators, <br />suggesting to them that the State should not be looking and cities, counties and <br />school districts to bail them out of a mess made by the State. <br />12.
