 | A small crowd gathered at the Stanford Park Hotel on Oct. 16 to listen to Mayor Kirsten Keith's state of the city speech. "We've had a really great year," she said.
After thanking Menlo Park's staff and volunteers, Ms. Keith briefly previewed upcoming developments on El Camino Real and noted issues associated with growth -- traffic, parking, housing.
She encouraged residents to vote for Measure K to raise the city's hotel tax, and also suggested that Menlo Park develop a plan for use of its aquifers, before proceeding to sell water to the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club.Are you receiving Express, our free daily e-mail edition?

Posted by whatever, a resident of the Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park neighborhood, on Oct 22, 2012 at 8:19 am How much money did the city spend for the room and refreshments at the Stanford Park?
Why wasn't a city facility like the council chambers used?
Same old story, wasting our tax dollars for their vanity.

On another thread Web Link , Heyward Robinson pointed out that Council Chambers were used in years past. If Heyward is the only person that remembers this, the event was obviously not very memorable.
