Mrs. Morrissey Parden said a traffic assessment district was voluntary, and there was a difference between formation and participation. She said this project would place a burden on Redwood City's infrastructure and asked that Council seek legal advice from the City Attorney. In response to Council questions, City Manager Everett said staff had reviewed and commented on the proposed EIR. He said the ErR acknowledged that the jurisdictions planned to form a traffic assessment district and the needed infrastructure improvements would be part of that a district. He said if Belmont does decide to "cash out" rather than charge per square foot, "It would actually be easier for us.... because they wouldn't be a party to the District, and we could probably move a little faster without three separate cities involved." Council Member Hartnett requested that this matter be brought back to Council for discussion with a complete staff report. Mayor Howard asked that the report incorporate Mrs. Morrissey Parden's concerns.
