City Attomey Yamamoto stated that because this item is not agendized, it is not a <br />matter that the public is aware of nor do they have copies of the documentation. <br />He stated that if this is a topic that Council desires to discuss, it should be placed <br />on a future agenda and not discussed at this time. <br />D. Council Member Howard — thanked staff, particularly, Charles Jany and Gary <br />Kelly, who compiled the Community Development Services PACT booklet. She <br />stated that it is a history of Redwood City, then and now, and how City has <br />progressed. It was designed for the PACT program and she stated her recent <br />experience at the PACT session was extremely positive. <br />E. Mayor Claire — referred to a topic in the Priority Focus from the League of <br />California Cities involving the Vehicle In -lieu Tax. He stated that Governor -elect <br />Schwarzenegger plans to withhold that tax and, in some way, still make the cities <br />whole. He further stated his concern with Senator John Burton's statement that <br />should that happen, the Legislature would not be willing to backfill local <br />government, leaving cities and counties on their own. Mayor Claire further stated <br />that action means $4.5 million in revenues to Redwood City, equal to 27 police <br />officers or 50% of the fire department. He stated that if that money does not come <br />back to this city it means severe budget cuts. Mayor Claire stated he would send a <br />letter to Senator Burton. <br />11.
