Mr. Vorametsanti said they will move forward to overcome obstacles and employ whatever resources they have and he agreed with the idea of forming a subcommittee. Another Council Member spoke in support of the formation of a committee. He calculated that 15 to 20 percent comes from Redwood City, and rather than figure out who should do what, Redwood City has shown it cares and should do something about it. He spoke about the collaboration with Stanford, long-term work with other jurisdictions, understanding community needs, participation, the need for information on implementation, funding and getting things done in the short-term. Vice Mayor Aguirre commented that a subcommittee is only as strong as the members of that committee, and that in addition to Redwood City Council members, staff, and Stanford, she would like to have representatives from Menlo Park, Atherton, FEMA, and landowners too. She spoke on the difficulty in getting other cities interested, and suggested, that given Mr. Jones' presence, that perhaps there is interest, and he can take this message back to Atherton. She agreed with other Council Members in wanting this resolved for City businesses, families and residents. Mayor Ira said they will keep the same subcommittee with Council Members Bain, Gee and Pierce serving on it and the subcommittee can determine how to move forward in dealing with regional issues and the need of significant support and resources from other cities, communities and local, state and federal agencies. He noted that it would be a concern for the State Water Resources Control Board if more water were to be pumped into the bay. He asked that the subcommittee work on obtaining the necessary funding for the pump station, the need for a large amount of land for a solution, and he agreed that solutions must be developed on a regional basis Mr. Bell said he would work with the subcommittee in identifying the short-term options, regional partners to join the effort, funding and claims, and will plan to come back to Council with actionable items. The City Council took a break from approximately 8:38 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. 8. PUBLIC HEARING A. Appeal of Architectural Permit AP2010-09 for 448 Saint Francis Street.
