Due to the <br />planned construction on the playing fields at Garfield School, the windmill will be <br />destroyed. Jean Cloud from the Historic Resources Advisory Committee (H RAC) <br />explained the history of the windmill and suggested that the windmill be relocated <br />to a City park for preservation and educational purposes. Chairperson Davis, <br />Commissioner Joseph and Mrs. Cloud recently visited the site to examine the" <br />windmill. Chairperson Davis gave a brief report on the condition of the windmill <br />and felt it needs to be examined by a professional to see if it could be <br />resurrected and moved to a public site. <br /> <br />Mrs. Cloud said the HRAC is very interested in preserving the windmill and would <br />like to see it re-Iocated in a place of prominence. Redwood City School <br />Superintendent Ron Crates has given his approval to have the windmill relocated <br />to another site. Chairperson Davis stated that he will check with Nick Watry to <br />see if he could examine the windmill for structural integrity. There was <br />discussion about where the windmill could be relocated to. Chairperson Davis <br />suggested that this might be a good community project where service groups, <br />scouts troops and others could manage the project. <br /> <br />
