Councilman Claire said he had a great <br /> sensitivity to Viet Nam veterans, and was very concerned about homelessness in our <br /> society. He said he believed there were opportunities within the City to alleviate some <br /> of those problems. <br /> City Manager Everett said that Redwood City 2000 would have office space in the <br /> new City Hall which would save them about $6,000 to $7,000 per year. <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Vice Mayor Howard declared a recess at 11 :25 a.m. <br /> Meeting reconvened at 11:33 a.m. <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> C.
