� � �,-3� Mr. Conklin said there was no guarantee that he could give at this point. He said it is a "chicken & egg" situation, because they would have to initiate a Capital Campaign, but they can't initiate the Campaign until they get the right to build. Commission Piulle asked what would happen with the portabl� s. Mr. Gerhard Kremer said portables could be relocated to a ntw area. He said they would like the MSI building to be completed first. MSI will need to relocate the portables to another portion of the site, on a temporary basis. He said the details stiil need to be discussed. Commissioner Radcliffe asked where the different funding comes from. Mr. Conklin said that MSI is primarily privately funded. He said they do charge for the Program, but the Program fees do not begin to cover the cost of the Program. There is no public funding. Commissioner Piulle referred to the Resoonse to Comments Document, Mitigation Measure J.4: regarding child care. She said the last sentence of the paragraph below Mitigation Measure J.4, which states, 'The City of Redwood City will determine the results of the needs assessment," should be incorporated in Mitigation Measure J.4. Chair Paulson said ir the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Document, Page 14, Column 4(Monitoring/Reporting Responsibility), it lists the City's departments responsible for the needs assessment. Commissioner SeybeR, referred to page 23 of the Response to Comments Document and said he was satisfied that the City will be responsible for the needs assessment, and wanted to know if the TDM (Transportation Demand Management) will be part of the assessment. Ms. Ekas said the child care center is listed in the Transportation Demand Management Program in the EIR, and needs to be in there to get their trip credits. Chair Paulson referred to the Mitigation Monitorina and Reoortina Program Document, Page 5 under Paragraph D.1 b, which says, "The project sponsor would implement more aggressive measures as part of the proposed Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program, " and wanted to be sure that statement meant the City is the one who gets to decide what is more aggressive. Ms. Ekas said that was correct. She said staff is looking at how to monitor the effectiveness of the program that is being proposed. Ms. Ekas said if staff is not seeing the anticipated trip reduction, thE,n the Planned Development Permit will have some conditions as to adjusting and improving the TDM Program. Mt. Don Warren of Stonybrook Associates, Inc., said the EIR is weli documented. Mr. Warren wanted to recommend to the Commission, support of the Certification of the EIR. He said the project is excellent for the City, and he commends the approval of the Zoning Text Amendment for both chiid care facilities and MSI. Page 4 ot B
