<br />MINUTES Page 14 <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-March 5, 2007 <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Grant commented on the problem of vehicles for sale being parked on city <br />streets, particularly in the area of 143rd and East 14th Street. She noted that residents have <br />been asking her what can be done to address the problem. Vice Mayor Grant asked whether <br />the issue could be referred to a Council committee. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Grant commented on the statements made by Peggy Combs earlier in the <br />meeting. She indicated that she is one of three members on the Council that are not <br />comfortable with the School District's plans for a ninth grade academy. Vice Mayor Grant <br />requested either a work session or a Council Committee discussion on the City's position on <br />the Measure B funded projects. She commented on the lack of circulation of the notices for <br />the public meetings to discuss the Measure B projects and the need to provide direction to the <br />City staff that will be participating in the meetings. Vice Mayor Grant expressed a preference <br />for discussing the issues at a meeting other than the City and San Leandro School District <br />Liaison Committee meeting, as the committee meets too infrequently. <br /> <br />Mayor Santos pointed out that the City and San Leandro School District Liaison Committee <br />will be meeting within the next couple of weeks, and the issues can be discussed at that <br />meeting. Vice Mayor Grant asked if the City Council could take a position on the Measure B <br />projects. City Attorney Williams confIrmed that the City Council could take a formal <br />position on the Measure B projects. <br /> <br />Councilmember Souza commented on the importance of communication and ensuring that <br />the voices of constituents are heard. She stated that she would continue to advocate for better <br />communication, and she would like community members to be engaged and feel free to voice <br />their opinions. <br /> <br />Councilmember ProIa announced for the benefIt of the audience that the Marina Committee <br />will meet on March 20, 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., and the public is invited to come and share their <br />opinions with the Committee. <br /> <br />13.
