A Conversation with Immigrant Rights Activist and Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist

Jose Antonio Vargas
Sunday, April 7th
3:30 pm
Carrington Hall on the Sequoia High School Campus
1201 Brewster Street, Redwood City

Tickets can be purchased online at http://sassscholars.brownpapertickets.com/. Tickets are $25 general admission and $5 for students.

Jose Antonio Vargas has quickly become one of the nation’s most sought-after speakers on immigration.  He will talk about his personal experiences and give his perspective on the larger issue of immigration reform.

When he was a child, Vargas’s mother sent him from his home in the Philippines to live with his American grandparents in the United States.  He grew up in Mountain View and went to public schools there.  He had no idea that he was undocumented until, at age 16, he went to the DMV to apply for a driver’s license.

As an adult, Vargas worked briefly for the San Francisco Chronicle and then for the Washington Post.  While at the Post, he was awarded a Pulitzer for excellence in journalism. In 2011, he wrote an essay for The New York Times Sunday Magazine in which he revealed that he is an “undocumented immigrant”, detailing how he came to discover this as a teenager and kept it hidden for almost 15 years, during which time he worked, paid taxes, and worried that his status would be exposed.  His story touched a nerve in our nation and catapulted him to the cover of Time Magazine on June 25, 2012. And just this past February, he testified on immigration issues before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In addition to Vargas, several adult immigrants in English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) classes will briefly share some of the challenges and victories they have experienced in their efforts

Event sponsor and purpose:
This event is sponsored by Sequoia Adult School Scholars, a small non-profit foundation that provides scholarships for Sequoia Adult School graduates–primarily adult ESL students–who want to attend community college.  More information about SASS is available at https://sites.google.com/site/sequoiaadultschoolscholars/

City Files Suit to Retain $10 Million in Affordable Housing Funds

Good afternoon – Below is a City news release that I think you’ll find of interest – it’s about the City filing suit against the State, to retain $10 million in City affordable housing funds, which the State is trying to grab as part of the dissolution of redevelopment agencies. Please read below for the details.

Redwood City Files Suit Against State to Retain $10 Million in Affordable Housing Funds

 

Redwood City, CA – The City of Redwood City has filed a lawsuit against the State of California to retain $10 million in funds earmarked to provide for below-market rate housing in the community, which the State claims must be turned over as part of the State-mandated dissolution of the City’s redevelopment agency. The suit was filed Friday, March 22, 2013.

 

Prior to the statewide dissolution of all California redevelopment agencies last year, the Redwood City Redevelopment Agency was accumulating funding above and beyond the required 20% affordable housing “set aside,” to provide for low and moderate income-level housing in the community (state redevelopment law had required that redevelopment agencies set aside 20% of their tax increment revenue for the provision of affordable housing). Redwood City had $10 million in its housing fund, which was committed through a 1990 agreement with the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County (LAS), a nonprofit organization focused on housing issues.

 

Redwood City intended to utilize these funds to develop the former redevelopment sites on Bradford Street and Heller Street, which the City took on as the “housing successor” to the defunct redevelopment agency. Redwood City also intended the funds be used to assist in the development of other affordable housing projects. Instead, when State legislation required the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, Redwood City was notified that those funds committed through the 1990 LAS agreement were required to be turned over to the San Mateo County Auditor-Controller as part of the wind-down of redevelopment agencies, along with the unspent 20% affordable housing set aside funds.

 

At the direction of the City Council, City staff met with staff for the California Department of Finance in Sacramento, making the argument that it was Redwood City’s right to retain those funds for purposes intended under the 1990 LAS agreement. When the State denied that argument and demanded the funds be turned over, the City Council directed the City Attorney to file suit seeking to have the courts order the State Department of Finance to allow the City, as the housing successor, to preserve those funds for affordable housing purposes.

 

“We believe we have an obligation to the Redwood City community and to the Legal Aid Society to keep these funds so they can be used for their intended purpose – affordable housing,” said Redwood City Mayor Alicia Aguirre. “Not only would turning over these funds be a breach of our agreement with the Legal Aid Society, it would cripple what little ability the City has left to directly promote the provision of affordable housing in Redwood City.”

 

It’s unclear when the suit will be heard, but it will likely not be until summer, at the earliest.

Council Approves “Safe Routes to School” Study, and Food/Shelter Grant Application

Good afternoon – I’d like to share with you the news release below, which was just distributed. It notes action that the City Council took last night on two items – funding a study for “Safe Routes to School” and approval of a grant application for food and shelter services at Fair Oaks Community Center. These are two very important programs that help a wide variety of people in our community. Please read below!

Thanks,

City Council Approves “Safe Routes to School” Study, and Grant Application for Food & Shelter Services
Redwood City, CA – At last night’s Council meeting (March 25), the City Council of Redwood City approved items focusing on two critical needs: study and expansion of the Redwood City 2020 “Safe Routes to School” initiative, and a grant application for funding to provide additional food and shelter services through the City’s Fair Oaks Community Center.

 

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs seek to make bicycling and walking to school a safer and more appealing transportation choice, thus promoting a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age, reducing traffic congestion around schools and lessening air pollution, and forging a closer connection between neighborhoods and schools. The City-supported collaborative Redwood City 2020 began a Safe Routes to School program in 2009 as part of its work to improve the health and safety of children in the Redwood City School District.

 

The City Council awarded a $76,500 contract (using Federal grant funds) for a consultant to work with schools to determine the local conditions that may keep children from walking or bicycling to school, and to make recommendations for education, enforcement, and engineering (such as sidewalk or roadway improvements) to increase walking and bicycling. Among other elements, the consultant’s work will include identifying barriers to walking/biking, developing recommendations for improving the safety and convenience of walking and biking to school, and recommending specific SRTS elements that are tailored to students’ geographic location/school and specific needs. The schools involved represent the wide diversity of Redwood City’s population: Adelante, Fair Oaks, Garfield, Hawes, John Gill, and Roy Cloud schools. The study’s report is expected to be presented in mid-summer.

 

The City Council also authorized the Redwood City Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Department to apply for an $80,000 grant from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation to help fund essential human services at the Fair Oaks Community Center. The grant application builds on the increased funding granted to Fair Oaks by the Foundation in 2012, which directly addressed critical needs of the City’s low-income community, including food assistance services, homelessness prevention and services, legal aid and housing advocacy services, and food and nutrition programs.

 

By submitting a collaborative proposal which involves a number of service agencies, including the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, Public Allies, and Peninsula Family Service, the City is a strong candidate for this new funding. Such partnerships are an effective way of bringing these resources to the most needy in our community, and the Fair Oaks Community Center has a strong track record of success in forming those collaborations and leveraging efforts to meet these critical needs.

 

“The Safe Routes to School program offers a great way for our youth to gain healthy exercise habits, and this study will closely examine how the schools and the City can best bring this option to all parts of our community,” said Redwood City Mayor Alicia Aguirre. “The Fair Oaks Community Center’s vital human services programs continue to be a crucial part of helping those in need throughout our community – approval of this grant application illustrates our commitment, and it’s especially representative of the wide partnerships we foster for the benefit of the most-needy residents of Redwood City.”

City Adopts Reusable Bag Ordinance – Implementation is 10/1/13

Good morning – I wanted to let you know that at last night’s City Council meeting (March 25), Redwood City’s reusable bag ordinance was unanimously approved. This was the “second reading” of the ordinance, and follows the introduction of the ordinance which took place at the March 11 meeting.

As most of you know, this ordinance bans distribution of single-use carryout plastic bags by all retailers except restaurants and nonprofits (not including protective bags for produce or meat, dry-cleaning, and newspapers, among other exemptions), and requires retailers to charge a minimum of 10¢ per paper bag used (25¢ as of 2015). Enforcement will be complaint-based, and conducted by San Mateo County. More details are on the City’s reusable bag ordinance information page and on the County’s information page at http://smchealth.org/bagban.

While technically the ordinance becomes effective in 30 days, the actual implementation and enforcement of the ordinance is scheduled for October 1, 2013. This is to provide an ample transition period for affected retailers to use-up existing stock of the single-use carryout plastic bags that will no longer be distributed as of October 1.

Thanks,

SPRING WILDFLOWER WALKS
Free Docent-led Wildflower Walks

Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve, located near I-280 and Edgewood Rd. in Redwood City, is famous for its spectacular spring wildflower displays.  Friends of Edgewood docents offer free wildflower walks every Saturday and Sunday starting at 10:00 from March 16 through June 9.

The approximately three-hour walks through grasslands, chaparral, coastal scrub, and foothill woodlands, offer a surprising amount of biodiversity.  You are likely to see 50-100 plants in flower on the moderately paced, three-mile journey. Edgewood supports over 500 distinct plant species, four of which are federally listed as endangered or threatened. In addition, the fragile Bay checkerspot butterfly, one of the threatened species, has made its home in the unique habitat afforded by the serpentine grasslands. The various plant communities also provide habitat for frogs, lizards, foxes, coyote, bobcat, raccoon, deer, and over 70 resident and migratory birds.

Visitors can complement their docent-led walk by visiting the new Education Center located near the main entrance and featuring interactive exhibits that explain Edgewood’s connection to the surrounding landscape and its history.

Community Members Invited to Join the City for the World Wildlife Fund’s “Earth Hour” – Lights Out for One Hour on March 23rd

Redwood City, CA – On Saturday, March 23, at 8:30 p.m., thousands of cities around the world will go dark for one hour during Earth Hour, the annual campaign by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to raise awareness of the environmental challenges we all face, such as climate change.

 

The   entire Redwood City community is invited to participate in this  symbolic gesture, by turning off the lights in their homes and  businesses for an hour. It is easy to forget how much   we depend on the planet for so many things like food, fuel, water, and   fresh air and that the actions we take – from the energy we use to the   food we buy – have an effect on the world. Earth Hour is an opportunity  to share in exhibiting a commitment to protect our planet not just for  one hour a year, but every day.

 

Redwood   City will be turning off all non-essential lights at City Hall and in Courthouse Square for one hour, from 8:30 – 9:30 pm, on Saturday, March   23rd, 2013, and encourages community members to join in the effort.

 

On  Earth Hour hundreds of millions of people, organizations, corporations  and governments around the world will come   together to make a bold  statement about their concern for climate  change by doing something  quite simple-turning off their lights for one   hour. Participation is  easy. By turning off lights on March 23 at 8:30  p.m. local time  community members will be symbolizing making the switch to a cleaner, more secure nation and  prosperous America.

• Downtown
• Little River Park

On the same day, Recology San Mateo County sponsors the Great Compost Giveaway  at the Public Works Services parking lot. Compost is an excellent  addition to existing soil, and also makes a great ground cover to help  with weed and erosion control. From 9 am to 3 pm on Saturday, April 20,  residents of Redwood City can take up to one cubic yard of free compost  (that’s about three garbage cans full) – a limited supply will be shared  among Redwood City community members on a first-come, first-served  basis.
