<br /> - - <br /> Mr. Abinader said he and his fellow merchants were more than willing to pay their fair <br /> share to make sure a Festival was successful, but this one was so poorly attended it <br /> reflected badly on downtown Redwood City. Mr. Abinader said he did not think it was <br /> _. right for the merchants to have to do daily maintenance on sidewalks and planters, that it <br /> was the City's responsibility. <br /> Council Members assured Mr. Abinader that the new Economic Development <br /> Coordinator Pat Webb would make the downtown and Broadway one of her top priorities, <br /> and advised that the new planters would be fully maintained by the City. <br /> C. Don Saye, 2021 Broadway, said he agreed with Mr. Abinader that downtown Broadway <br /> needs the City's help. He described a recent meeting of Redwood City 2000 where a new <br /> type of Festival was discussed which would be held in all of the downtown area - more in <br /> the vein of the old Sunflower Festival. <br /> D. Peter Foitzik, 312 E. Oakwood Blvd., addressed the issue of stored boats and code <br /> enforcement. <br /> Council Members asked the City Manager to provide a report to Council regarding this <br /> Issue. <br /> MEMO 9/23/97 <br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> 3.
