MINUTE ORDER 02-68 <br /> <br />11. BOARDS, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE REPORTS - <br /> <br /> A. Support for Public Access to Publicly-Owned Open Space, Park Lands, Bay <br /> Frontage, and Waterways; (205) <br /> <br /> Council Member Jordan, Chairperson Public Land Access Committee, stated she <br /> had distributed an article regarding Cargill Lands and her belief that there are <br /> environmentalists that want to see land preserved for the future, animals protected <br /> and individuals able to appreciate the land. She stated her ultimate objective is to <br /> have all the public lands in Redwood City allow for meaningful public access. <br /> Within that desire, that the City continue to work toward opening the levees in <br /> Redwood Shores and work very hard to make sure that Bair Island does not get <br /> closed to the public. Council Member Jordan stated a second resolution was <br /> drafted and distributed at the dais. She stated the only change was in the very last <br /> paragraph and that was the resolution she was recommending Council adopt. <br /> <br /> Public Comment: <br /> <br /> Mike Spence pleaded with Council to show the respect that the State and Federal <br /> agencies do. He stated that there are many laws that Congress and the majority of <br /> the American public have fought hard to enact and protect. He further stated that <br /> as a City we do not need to send a message 'that we put public access and dogs <br /> 'off leash, or mountain biking, over the requirement they have as a mandate. <br /> <br /> Ken Hettman stated he would ~-e tc see Bair island stay as it is. <br /> He further stated that it would be helpful to have forms available at libraries to <br /> provide input to various agencies. <br /> <br /> Ralph Nobles supported Mike Spence's comments. He stated that the resolution <br /> as presented is unacceptable because it places the City in a position of advocating <br /> a change in the use and principles of wildlife refuges. He suggested a revision to <br /> the resolution that would include in line 8 .... consistent with the mission, objectives <br /> and legal obligations of the appropriate public land jurisdictions involved. <br /> <br /> Robin Smith, President of the Sequoia Audubon Society, stated she was <br /> advocating for the birds and animals in the wildlife refuge as it exists contiguous to <br /> Redwood City. She suggested the City think carefully before passing the <br /> resolution. <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 11, 2002 <br />MINUTES PAGE 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
