Redwood Heights Neighborhood News

by Ginger Reding

At our last meeting, we were pleased to have reporters from both the Oakland Tribune and the Montclarion. Both papers now have a section devoted to neighborhoods and are making contacts to get community information. The minutes from the meeting are posted on the Redwood Heights Web page. Issues discussed were the Leona Quarry, Andrea Simms' report on Y2K preparedness, and a project being developed by members of the Oakland Public Ethics Commission to educate the public about their rights under the Sunshine Ordinance. Andrea Simms can be reached at 336-1556. The RHIA welcoming committee is in the process of organizing. Contact the landscape committee with any issues pertaining to public properties. They have established relationships with the proper authorities. Many important neighborhood issues are discussed at the monthly RHIA meetings. Members of the community are encouraged to attend.
