Mayor Pierce read and presented the <br /> proclamation honoring Joel Patterson. <br />6. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS AND CONSENT CALENDAR - CITY <br /> COUNCIUREDEVELOPMENT AGENCY/SOARD OF EQUALIZA TION <br /> MIS Foust/Ira to waive reading of the Consent Calendar except the ordinances by title, <br /> adopt the resolutions and the ordinances, and approve other items. The motion <br /> passed by a unanimous roll call vote. <br /> John Harp, representing the Redwood City Police Officers Association (POA) , stated <br /> that he was speaking not to negotiate but to communicate the POA's wish that future <br /> bargaining between the POA and the City be done in a sincere and forthright manner. <br /> He stated that a press release issued by the City was misleading and factually <br /> incorrect and POA has asked that specific items in the press release be corrected but <br /> so far has heard nothing. He stated that the officers are compensated on an average <br /> compensation of other Bay Area police departments but currently their compensation <br /> is below that average. He further stated that the POA looks forward to meeting with <br /> the City's representatives and will continue to be available for the return at the <br /> bargaining table and any closed sessions. <br /> Mayor Pierce stated that the rules in the Council meeting are such that when <br /> celebrating and awarding people, applause is appropriate. When other opportunities <br /> where people disagree occur, it has been the policy to not allow applause because it <br /> makes one group either feel better or worse. She further stated that the City has an <br /> outstanding offer to the POA negotiators to call and set up a negotiation meeting and <br /> her hope is that the meeting gets set and negotiations begin. <br />6.1 Section - Motions - <br /> A.
