<br /> . . . - <br /> <br /> A. Councilwoman La Berge, rnember of the Committee on Bair Island, along with <br /> Councilman Ruskin, San Carlos Councilwoman Sylvia Nelson, and Chamber <br /> representative Jack Greenalch, announced that they had recently added the final two <br /> members, Ralph Nobles, representing the environmental community, and Manuel <br /> L- Sotomayor who was recommended by two Redwood Shores owners associations. She <br /> announced the Committee's first meeting would be held Monday, July 7, at 7:30 a.m. in <br /> the Library conference room with facilitator George Barbour. Councilwoman La Berge <br /> advised that the Committee had been asked to focus on three areas: continued access to <br /> recreation on Bair Island; continued access and protection of the SBSA force main; and <br /> researching the possibility of an access road between Redwood Shores and Whipple. <br /> (205) <br /> In response to Councilwoman La Berge's question regarding the addition of Mr. <br /> Murphy's item to that list of goals, Council Members agreed that the Committee should <br /> focus on the original three areas. Mayor Hartnett directed staff to provide financial <br /> information to Mr. Murphy. <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 97-142 <br /> B. Mayor Hartnett responded to the two speakers under Oral Communications who asked <br /> that the Confederate Flag not be flown in the 4th of July Parade, and said it would not be <br /> appropriate for the Council to discuss this issue given the City Attorney's comments. <br /> Mayor Hartnett said he agreed with the previous speakers that the presence of the flag was <br /> reprehensible based on its current and symbolic use by the KKK and other racist, hate <br /> groups, but the law was clear that the City could not intervene. He said that on the other <br /> hand, it was certainly acceptable for individuals to directly or indirectly express opposing <br /> - opinions. Mayor Hartnett said he understood the strong reaction that reasonable people <br /> have to such a symbol, but the First Amendment was alive and well in Redwood City, and <br /> that was very important to a free society.
