MATTERS OF COUNCIL INTEREST <br /> This item limited to fifteen minutes. Announcements by Council Members <br /> A. Report on CitylCountylSchools partnerships for renovations and new playing fields, <br /> Council Member Hartnett. (205) <br /> Council Member Hartnett reviewed the conceptual proposal for Redwood City <br /> Recreation Issues. There is community support for the partnership pertaining to <br /> recreation operations. Supervisor Richard Gordon is requesting that Council <br /> consider the proposal. The County will seek Community Development Block Grant <br /> (CDBG) funds for two gyms. They will also fund fields at Taft and Fair Oaks and will <br /> work with the City on the fields project at Garfield. The City will schedule use of the <br /> fields and maintain them (paid for by the school district and County at Garfield and <br /> Fair Oaks). <br /> It is believed that the $1 million set aside by the City for field renovation will not be <br /> adequate for this plan; therefore, the City will look into CDBG funds. If a project is <br /> built, expenditures cannot be reimbursed by CDBG monies. The CDBG funds will <br /> not be available until July 1, 1999. <br /> MIS: IRAlBAIN, passed unanimously, to approve the concepts for partnerships as <br /> presented in the chart attached to the June 27, 1998 Fax to Jim Hartnett from Richard <br /> Gordon. <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 98-207 <br /> B. Utility User's Tax-Bain. <br /> Council Member Bain requested this as a subject on a future agenda. Various <br /> scenarios should be presented with time for public input. Consider: Can we cut the <br /> budget? How much? When? <br /> MEMO 7/28/98 <br /> J{EUULAK MEE lINU M1NU1EStlUUKNU. ;1 <br /> JULY 21, 199K <br /> MINUTES Page No. 102 PAGE 9 <br />
