He <br /> was always in his element when surrounded by youth, and every player was a"champ" <br /> to him. In January 2005, Frank was featured on Channel 5 KPIX as an exemplary youth <br /> advocate. <br /> At their September 2007 meeting, the Commission passed a recommendation to name <br /> an athletic field at Red Morton Park in honor of Frank Guida and to bring this <br /> recommendation to a future City Council meeting. Due to a number of other projects <br /> and staffing changes in the Parks, Rec�eation and Community Services Department, <br /> this effort was put on hold until now. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> The Pop Warner Football Association's first choice for an appropriate memorial to Mr. <br /> Guida was naming the turf at McGarvey Field, the actual site of his service to the <br /> community. The Commission did not feel comfortable changing the name of a field '� <br /> already named in honor of a Redwood City pioneer. ,, <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The Pop Warner Football Association will cover all costs associated with the placement <br /> an fu plaque or memorial. <br /> �� S.-c�� <br /> Christopher Beth Robert B.
