4r3 8 Written Communications (continued) Vice M�yor Barrett urged Mr. Acosta to present his pro�ect to the Civic Cultural Commission. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. (MINUTE ORDER N0. 76-180) , Mid-Pem nsula Regional Park District Councilman Biagi presented the letter from himself and Vice Mayor � Barrett regarding the City Council's opposition to Proposition D on the June 8, 1976 State Ballot which proposed annexation to the District of certain parts of San Mateo County, including Redwood City. Councilman Biag� observed that in addition to the opposition of the Council to the annexation, the voters of Redwood City re�ected Propo- sition D by a substantial margin of 4,612 (No) to 3,616 (Yes), al- though`the measure passed by a vote of 17,907 to 17,037, or only 870 votes out of the 34,944 votes cast. Therefore, it is being proposed that the City immediately pursue whatever course may be necessary in order to deannex from the District. Discussion followed concerning the misleading use of "Park" in the District title since the District policy is to acquire land for open space with limited access rather than for generally accepted "park" use, the laborious efforts of Council to eliminate a 24Q tax rate increase from the City budget and the imposit�on of the 10¢ addition in that rate by the District, the des�rability of withdrawing from the�District before it is set up to �nclude Redwood City, the fact that if an election is required, there is adequate time for a measure , to be placed on the November ballot; and the possible intentions wlth regard to inclusion in the District of the other cities whose voters re�ected membership. , MOTION: Councilman Rhodes moved, seconded by Councilman Norris, that the Council'direct the staff to investigate and initiate those steps whereby the City of Redwood City may pursue deannexation from the M�d-Peninsula Regional Park District. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. (MINUTE ORDER N0. 76-181) It was suggested that the City Councils of San Carlos and Atherton whose voters also re�ected Proposition D be advised of Council action with regard to deannexation.
