<br />MINUTES Page 9 <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-October 2, 2006 <br /> <br />are difficult to project. At its upcoming City Council retreat, the Council will discuss <br />the City's needs that must be addressed, such as the repair and maintenance of streets <br />and the restoration of Police Officers to a level of94. <br /> <br />Mayor Young commented that this is an issue of quality of life. Over the past couple of <br />years, the community has struggled along with the Council over budget issues. She <br />noted the City's tremendous volunteer base, which has been resilient in coming forward <br />to help support the much-needed revenue measures and important projects such as the <br />Downtown TOD. Mayor Young commented that the Cherry Festival and holiday <br />festivities would help restore the feeling of unity to the community. She noted that the <br />Cherry Festival involves extensive planning and cannot be cancelled at a moment's <br />notice. She personally volunteered to help secure community partnerships to make it a <br />viable event. <br /> <br />Councilmember Starosciak, the maker of the motion, suggested that, rather than amend <br />the present motion, a new motion could be made if the motion on the floor did not pass. <br /> <br />M/S/C Starosciak and Santos.
