(The following notice of an upcoming public meeting potentially of interest to Redwood Shores residents is from the San Carlos Airport.)
The San Carlos Airport has scheduled a public hearing for the FAA funded Part 150 Noise Study (Study) on Wednesday, September 26, 2018 from 6:00 PM until 7:30 PM at the Hiller Aviation Museum. Public comments will be received on the Study until October 12, 2018. The hearing is a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 150 Noise Study requirement. Following the public comment period and FAA review, the Study will be presented to the County Board of Supervisors.

Along with the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Adopted Budget, the City Council approved the transition to a shared service approach with San Mateo County for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program to reduce costs to the city, increase efficiency, and potentially share costs of the program with other agencies in the County in the future. The County currently provides CERT training using the same curriculum as Redwood City; however, the County has expressed interest in collaborating with the City of Redwood City to create a CERT Coordinator position. The new position would focus solely on the CERT program.
In an effort to engage CERT volunteers and community members around this transition, the City of Redwood City is hosting a series of meetings to receive input/feedback on the future of the CERT program. Additionally the City has launched an online survey to gain input on the CERT program and the proposed County CERT position transition. Three meetings were conducted in August. (You can click here to read the Redwood City/San Carlos CERT Community Input Meetings Notes report.)
The next round of community meetings will take place on:
Tuesday, September 25th from 6 – 7:30pm
at the Veterans Memorial Senior Center
1455 Madison Ave., Redwood City
Thursday, September 27th from 6 – 7:30pm at the Redwood Shores Library 399 Marine Parkway
(The following was provided article and information was provided by Derek Wolfgram, Director of Library Services, Redwood City Public Library)
The Library is seeking community feedback on the service hours of the Redwood Shores Branch Library. Please take the survey linked at the end of this article to help inform our decision making on this challenging issue.
The City of Redwood City has begun implementation of its Financial Sustainability Plan, which seeks to increase revenues and reduce expenditures in order to address an anticipated structural imbalance of $12 million in the City budget by fiscal year 2022-23. The first phase of the financial sustainability plan includes reductions of $3.7 million in fiscal year 2018-19, and an additional $2.3 million in fiscal year 2019-20. These reductions impact all City departments, including public safety, parks, and libraries.
Celebrate 10 years of one of the most important institutions in Redwood Shores by visiting our beautiful local library!
If you were not able to attend the special Anniversary celebration on September 8th, you can still be a part of this special event simply by visiting the library to use it for what it is here for! Discover a great new book, explore the Interpretive Center, have a coffee at the Sea Link Café, or just come and relax with a view of the Bay trail. Give tribute by coming out and enjoying this very special place here in Redwood Shores.
