As summer activities wind down and many in our community return to their regular lives as the kids go
back to school, we welcome you to The Spectrum’s August issue.
In our cover story, Valerie Harris profiles City Manager Ed Everett. Everett is retiring after serving our
community for 15 years. During that time he has been instrumental in guiding a great deal of change in
Redwood City. What will the future hold for him as he leaves? Does he have any regrets? You are about
to find out.
The November City Council race is just one of the topics Publisher Steve Penna will touch upon in his
column, “As I Was Saying….” Are you ready to be enlightened?
Many people have rivals as they are growing up. But how many of us end up working with and actually
respecting ours? Contributing writer Dale McKee has the story of two Redwood City police officers who
have done just that.
Contributing writer Judy Buchan writes about the touchy issue of making Redwood City into a
“sanctuary city.” The issue is destined to become a major one in this November’s election, and some of
the comments by current council members might surprise you.
We also have cultural events, community and senior activities, financial advice, news briefs, sports news
and the story of why many saw a group of “Red Hats” in the downtown area recently.
