Councilman Claire reported on the Council Facilities Committee meeting held that afternoon to discuss the new Redwood Shores School, Community Center and Park. He advised that the costs for the Park project had escalated and the bid package coming to the Council in the near future would contain several alternatives. Councilman Claire advised that residents of the Redwood Shores neighborhood have expressed concern that the Park would not have the amenities the Council had originally promised.
