<br /> except Atherton, Portola Valley and Saratoga that had not joined. She said Redwood <br /> City's participation would be very helpful in addressing regional problems where <br /> cooperation from surrounding communities was essential, such as flooding. Ms. Jordan <br /> said joining "this group would make you look like a team player... and would help you get <br /> support when you needed it." She said the City "would benefit from a lot of the time and <br /> money saving processes that are being brought to other City governments." <br /> Mayor Howard said, "I have attended a lot of the Joint Venture meetings. I am very <br /> proud of the fact that the permit streamlining and code streamlining was spearheaded by <br /> one of our own, John LaTorra in Redwood City. He was a part of that process, working <br /> very closely with this group, and contributed quite a bit to that process. We already do <br /> have permit streamlining working. It's alive and well in Redwood City. We do work in <br /> many ways with Joint Venture." She said the Council would look at the study very <br /> carefully, "to see if we want to become even more involved." <br /> Council Member Claire said that a number of years ago he had recommended that the <br /> City join Joint Venture Silicon Valley. He said the organization did not have too many <br /> interests north of Palo Alto at that time and the Council decided to wait until San Mateo <br /> County was more involved. Council Member Claire suggested that the Council instruct <br /> staff to explore the possibility of Redwood City becoming formally involved with NSV. <br /> City Manager Everett said staff would report back to Council on this matter. <br /> MEMO 5/12/98 <br />____n____n______--------______n______-----------------------------------------------______n________n_______n--------- <br />3.
