CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Badger complimented staff for the fine job on the improvements at Farrelly Pool. <br /> <br />Councilmember Santos stated he concurred with Mr. Saunders regarding the extent of the <br />fireworks problem in the Eastshore area. He stated that Mr. Saunders called hin1 at about <br />8:30 p.m. on July 4, and when he arrived in the Eastshore area it was a veritable war zone. <br />Councilmember Santos complimented the Police Department for its high visibility on the 4th <br />of July. He suggested that the City urge the remaining cities in Alameda County to adopt a <br />fireworks ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Santos passed on a compliment to Mayor Young that he'd heard from <br />residents regarding her appearance before Alameda Power and Telecon1 and the powerful <br />statements she made for the record against any gasification plant to be located in San Leandro. <br /> <br />Mayor Young commented that San Leandro is the only city in Alameda County that does not <br />televise its City Council meetings. In an effort to show the community what a broadcast <br />meeting could be, ComCast agreed to provide a camera and an operator to videotape tonight's <br />Council Meeting. She thanked Bill Dodge and ComCast for videotaping tonight's meeting <br />which the City will rebroadcast on Channel 15. Mayor Young noted that in a couple of years, <br />the City will begin negotiations with ComCast and the possibility of televising meetings may <br />be worked out at that time. <br />
