Anniversary of the Redwood City Women's Club and she thoroughly enjoyed the program. This Council Member found Mr. Bautista's comments very disturbing and concerning. She went on the County of San Mateo's public index and the two cases he had were dismissed so the city was not liable or at fault for what he was alleging. She would like to have Council provide a response and because in her opinion this was hurting the Council's reputation. City Attorney Thompson said that Mr. Bautista had past and current litigation and it might be useful to correct some of his misstatements. This Council Member also mentioned the other man who spoke about the parking ticket. Dr. Bell provided some background on this particular issue and said that he could come back to this forum with more information on the parking ticket.
