Good evening, planning commissioner.

My name is Kenneth Doe.

As a representative of the Carpenter's Local 217, I'm here to speak to you about the importance of labor standard for blue-collar workers in construction.

Our members who represent thirty-eight thousand throughout Northern California, including sixteen hundred in San Mattel County, depend on fair labor standard to provide a livable wage, apprenticeship program, and health care benefits that allow workers and the families to live in the community where they work.

But it's just not about our members.

Adopting labor standard as requirement for developers will ensure that contractors pay fair wage, use experience experienced and well-trained workers, leading to a safer, more efficient and higher quality construction industry.

We would like to have a meeting with each and every one of you to discuss labor standards in more detail and answer any questions you may have.

The Carpenter Union urges Redwood City Planning Commissioner to take action and adopt labor standard as requirement for any developer planning to build in the city.

Thank you for your time and the opportunity to speak.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Dell.

Do we have any um raised hands uh from our virtual attendees for public comments?

No, we don't.

Thank you.

Um there are no uh approval of minutes or items on the consent calendar tonight.

So we now come to item number six public hearing.

And this is a um project uh 1201 Main Street.

And I need to uh make an announcement that because I participated in the subdivision committee, which was one of the um Redwood City uh committees uh and and commissions that um provided advice on this project to the planning commission.

Uh, I need to reacuse myself from this.

So I will turn over this item and the rest of the meeting to our vice chair, uh Vice Chair Sernogratz.

Thank you, Chair Hundre.

Thank you.

All right.

Um item number six is a public hearing for uh project 1201 Main Street.

Um it's a request for an architectural permit, affordable housing plan, tentative parcel map, and use permit to allow for the construction of a proposed five-story mixed-use building with 71,904 square feet of office and 28 residential units, including four deed restricted affordable units.
