l\lINUTES Page 11 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting~September 20, 2004 Councilmember Santos stated that he has met with residents of the Timothy Drive area to discuss these very complex airport issues. He noted that the assumption made by Mr. Manuel and Mr. Gallo that the addition of another ILS will increase capacity is contradicted in a July 15, 2004 letter from Steve Grossman of the Port of Oakland to Mayor Young. Councilmember Santos pointed out that the Port is not required by law to provide any mitigation measures to the City of San Leandro, but it is committed to fulfilling the settlement agreement. He indicated that the City and the Port are meeting to look into ways of further nlitigating airport noise impacts to the community. Councilmember Santos commented on the tendency by many San Leandrans to assume that only they are impacted by airport noise, and he noted the problems experienced by neighboring cities. He suggested that interested persons review the information to try to identify ways the City and Port can work together for the betterment of the conlmunity. 2.
