Other residents echoed his sentiment. Stephen Rosenbloom said he was shocked when he heard Cormack speak at the workshop in favor of voluntary agreements, given the council s officially adopted position. Her statement, he told the council on Jan. 11, should disqualify her as a representative of the Palo Alto City Council on BAWSCA, since she refused to separate the official position of the City Council from her own beliefs.
David Warner, a resident who supports the Bay-Delta Plan, called Cormack s statement a step backward and said he was taken aback by her comments. Council member Cormack should either vigorously retract her statements verbally, in front of SFPUC, and reiterate Palo Alto s position or she should resign from the BAWSCA board, Warner said.
