Presentation Regarding East Bay Municipal Utility District's (EBMUD) Potential Roles as an Electrical Utility. No action required. (1469) Frank Mellon, Member of EBMUD Board of Directors (Ward 7), introduced his colleagues Robert Benson and Greg Chan. He then gave a brief overview of the history of EBMUD's production of electricity and their potential role as an electricity supplier in the future. Mr. Mellon said EBMUD will start with community outreach to review the need for this service and encouraged City Council Members to read the Beck Study, which is published on the EBMUD web site. He welcomed the opportunity to meet with community groups for their candid comments about the feasibility of this project. 9. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS A. Council Member Santos expressed concern about the issues addressed on the west side; i.e., Vestal Court, West Avenue 1361h, and the Douglas/Davis area. He would like City Council to receive a report regarding the area so Council can consider future action. Council Member Santos shared Superintendent Tom Himmelberg's article from the Thursday, May 30, 2002, issue of the San Leandro Times about the improved working relationship between the City of San Leandro and the school district. Council Member Santos added he supports this cooperative effort. Council Member Santos suggested that Mayor Young recognize the achievements of Olubukola Esho, the young Nigerian woman from San Leandro who graduated from San Francisco State University with a 3.96 GPA and who hopes to become a pediatrician. B. Council Member Loeffler thanked Carolyn Knudtson, Recreation and Human Services Director, and her staff for the great celebration at the Cherry Festival over the weekend. He had several suggestions to consider for future events: restore honoring pioneers at the Cherry Festival, share the event for the homebound via Cable TV/government access TV, restore the king and queen, and provide for feedback from residents on the City's website. Council Member Loeffler noted the lack of historical photographs in City Hall and encouraged the City fund a project to include them in our displays.
