Community Relations <br /> Council Members discussed the perceptions of some Redwood Shores <br /> neighborhood residents, some of whom feel disconnected ITom the rest of <br /> Redwood City. The Council discussed the importance of integrating all <br /> '- neighborhoods into one City, and expressed support for a connector road, <br /> shopping center, fire station, school/community center, and more parks in the <br /> Redwood Shores neighborhood. <br /> Council Members discussed the impacts of holding Council meetings at various <br /> venues in the City throughout the year, including the Redwood Shores <br /> neighborhood. Council Members thoroughly discussed whether it would be <br /> helpful to hold meetings with specific neighborhood issues only, study sessions, <br /> or regular Council meetings; and, what criteria should be used to determine where <br /> and when Council meetings should be moved. <br /> Councilwoman Buchan advised that the Homeowners Associations were <br /> excellent vehicles for neighbors to express their opinions and ask for Council <br /> help. She suggested that Council Members attend Homeowners Association <br /> meetings and report back to the Council as a whole. Councilwoman Buchan <br /> announced that there would be a Homeowners Association meeting on January 30, <br /> 1996 and City staff would make presentations on City activities. <br /> '--- <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 54 Redwood City Council Special Workshop Minutes <br /> Page No. 013 January 13, 1996 <br /> Page 4 <br />
