is a plus for families that play baseball,� Spence said. “Mom and dad can watch both games.� She added that McKelvey’s central location allows a lot of kids, including those who play Marauders football at McKelvey, to ride a bike to their games and practices. The Shoreline fields make kids more dependent on their parents to drive them there. And a lot of parents may not even want to face the traffic on Shoreline Boulevard and Rengstorff Avenue, especially during concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre, Spence said. Spence reiterated comments made last week by council member Laura Macias that the .7-acre carve-out for a playground and neighborhood park in the latest design for McKelvey is actually larger than other neighborhood parks in the city, including Mercy-Bush Park.

Dave Muela said that an alternative proposal from neighbors won’t be the proposal city staff brings to the City Council for approval, unless the council specifically asks for such a design. Muela said city had not considered the added cost of building two major league-sized baseball fields at Shoreline. The city has budgeted $9 million in Shoreline
tax district funds for the Shoreline ball fields while the Water District says it will cost $9.1 million for its latest proposal at McKelvey. City Council meetings on both the Shoreline and McKelvey fields are expected sometime early next year.
screening; a legislative team then whittled a group of 60 potential commissioners down to 36. On Nov. 18, State Auditor Elaine M. Howle drew Kuo’s name from the pool of 36, along with the names of seven others from throughout the state. The names were divided among three sub-pools. Howle picked three from a sub-pool of Democrats, three from a sub-pool of Republicans and two from a sub-pool of individuals that are registered as a third party or decline-to-state. Kuo and her fellow commissioners are now charged with selecting
six more from the remaining pool of 28 — two from each sub-pool. After all 14 positions are filled, the commission will use census data to redraw district lines for the election of representatives for the state Senate, Assembly, state Board of Equalization, and U.S. Congress. The commission was created after the passage of Proposition 11, which took the redistricting power out of the hands the Legislature, putting it into the hands of the people. The commission will draw the district lines in conformity with rules intended to ensure representation for all Californians.
CELL TOWER
representative said at the Nov. 10 zoning administrator meeting that tenants of the church, including Little Acorn Preschool and a group of Boy Scouts, were notified and no one complained about the idea. Yee said that parents of the preschool, who did not find out about the cell tower until days before it was approved, are now being prevented from leaving notices for other parents at the church-run pre-school about the issue. In his approval, Zoning Administrator Peter Gilli said federal law prevented him from rejecting the cell tower over concerns with radiation, which he said would be well below FCC limits. The tower would be placed on top of a chapel on the southeast corner of the property, across the site from the church’s main chapel.

say on the subject.� In an petition opposing the tower, some neighbors say they are unhappy with the church, claiming it had a “moral obligation� to reach out to the neighborhood to discuss the cell tower before moving forward with it. “This church chose cash over community,� said neighbor W. Yee. “To me it’s more of an issue of how the church has handled it. If their concern was with the community, they would have reached out to the community and said ‘How many of you are customers of Sprint-Nextel? How many of you are interested in this service?’� Pastor Tim Boyer told the Voice that a committee of church members approved of the cell tower, which would provide income for the church. Boyer would not disclose how much it is being paid. Another church
