MINUTE ORDER NO. 98-182 Council Member Claire described a letter containing a separate draft letter to be released July 9, 1998 that he received right before the meeting from the Redwood Shores Homeowners Association requesting $4,050 for 27 trash receptacles to be placed around Redwood Shores. Council Member Claire said that although the manner in which the request was presented was upsetting, he believed it was a reasonable one. MIS: CLAIREIIRA TO ALLOCATE $4,OSO TO PURCHASE 27 NEW RECEPTACLES FOR THE REDWOOD SHORES AREA UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE PARK, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT. Mayor Howard said she received the letter on July 3, immediately called Mr. Anderlini, and has played phone tag ever since. She said she also felt the letter was unnecessary as the Council had already committed to placing a high priority on cleaning-up Redwood City and improving Aesthetics in the community. Mayor Howard said the Park, Recreation and Community Services Department had been working with Mr. Anderlini on this project, and not all the requested sites were suitable. She said some sites were on private property, some on levees, and others did not have adequate access for BFI trucks. Mayor Howard said everyone agreed that trash receptacles should be placed where needed. City Manager Everett said that Parks, Recreation and Community Services Superintendent Hover had been in contact with Mr. Anderlini on this issue, and the City agrees on 14 or 15 of the sites. He said they all agreed more receptacles were needed in Redwood Shores and the City's Parks. He said they agreed with the motion.
