<br />FY 2007-08 Consolidated Action Plan <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />April 16, 2007 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT B <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENT ON DRAFT FY2007-08 ACTION PLAN <br /> <br /> <br />The City of San Leandro received a public comment at its March 5, 2007 City Council hearing <br /> <br /> <br />regarding the draft FY07-08 Action Plan. Lou Filipovich, a San Leandro resident, addressed the <br /> <br /> <br />City Council, commenting on the level of public participation on the Annual Action Plan. Mr. <br /> <br /> <br />Filipovich expressed concern regarding the Council's adherence to Roberts Rules of Order and the <br /> <br /> <br />Brown Act. He expressed opposition to having CDBG funds transferred into the City's General <br /> <br /> <br />Fund. <br /> <br />Mayor Santos indicated that the City Council is very open to participation by all citizens in all <br /> <br /> <br />aspects of City government. He asked the City Attorney and City Manager to comment on <br /> <br /> <br />statements made by Mr. Filipovich. City Attorney Jane Williams commented on the City Council's <br /> <br /> <br />compliance with Roberts Rules of Order, the Ralph M. Brown Act and the Council's own rules of <br /> <br /> <br />procedures. City Manager Jermanis commented on the federal limits imposed on the use of CDBG <br /> <br /> <br />funding, necessitating the shift of the Recreation Link program from CDBG funds to General <br /> <br /> <br />Funds. He noted that no CDBG funds are going into the General Fund; rather, General Funds are <br /> <br /> <br />being made available to fill gaps in CDBG funding. <br />
