Video from the Belmont-Redwood Shores School Board Candidate Forum

Posted on by

Hosted on Monday, September 23, 2013, this public forum was held by RSCA and the Belmont-Redwood Shores PTA in order to allow the community to get to know the candidates running for BRS School Board positions this November.

RSCA has posted a video of the event for residents who were not able to attend as well as those who were in attendance and would like a second look at this year’s seven candidates. The forum video runs through the opening statements and all questions asked to the candidates; due to technical difficulties, certain candidates’ closing statements were not available for this video and so all closing statements have been omitted from this posting to be fair to all the participants.

All candidates on the ballot were able to participate in this event. Candidates were seated according to randomized numbers; the names of those candidates are listed in the same order below (from left to right) to help you identify who is speaking throughout the presentation.

* Naomi Nishimoto
* Kelly Redmon
* Rakesh Hegde
* Chuck Velschow
* Amy Koo
* Survarna Bhopale
* Herb Neuman M.D.

Our moderator for the evening was Jim Hartnett a former mayor and city council member of Redwood City.

Thank you to all of the candidates for attending, thank you Mr. Hartnett for moderating the panel, and thank you for your interest in this important Belmont & Redwood Shores event.

Community Meeting on AT&T Wireless Service Plans in Redwood Shores

Posted on by

July 23rd, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m

(AT&T’s services program has passed this message along through RSCA about developments of new services and facilities in Redwood Shores. This construction proposal has been discussed in The PILOT and is a matter RSCA encourages the Redwood Shores community to attend this July 23rd meeting if you are interested in or concerned with the AT&T service proposal. This will be residents’ opportunity to ask questions and get answers about these plans.)

What:

AT&T is pleased to announce plans to build a wireless facility right here in Redwood Shores! Our engineers have identified a significant coverage gap in your neighborhood, and Redwood Shores residents have expressed a need for enhanced wireless data and voice services. This cell site will enable residents to enjoy a more robust wireless network, one that will better connect them to the people and information they want, whenever and wherever they are. Wireless connectivity is critical to personal and professional relationships. It is also critical in emergencies: approximately 70% of 911 calls are made with wireless phones.

Where:

AT&T Mobility seeks to improve wireless service from Bridge Parkway on the South side of Redwood Shores, Marin Parkway on the West, Shearwater Parkway on the North, and the coastline waters on Waterside Circle. The proposed cell site will also provide enhanced indoor coverage to the Redwood Shores community.

How:

The proposed cell site will resemble a pine tree, and will be designed to blend into the existing landscape of trees. It will be 70 feet tall, 22 feet wide at its widest point, and will contain 12 antennas. These antennas will provide residents with 4G LTE service, allowing faster downloads of data, more reliable voice calls and more dependable access to emergency services.

Community Meeting:

In order to learn more about the proposed cell site and how it will impact your life and immediate neighborhood, please attend a Community Meeting led by AT&T representatives. The meeting will be held on July 23rd, from 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at the following location:

Redwood Shores Branch Library

Community Room

399 Marine Parkway

Redwood Shores, CA 94065

AT&T encourages you to attend the meeting to learn more about this exciting innovation, and to find out how you can help make these plans a reality. Please direct questions to Shiyama Clunie, Area Manager, AT&T External Affairs, at .
