Resolution of Support for Census 2000. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2000-18, Resolution of Support for Census 2000. <br /> <br />(1453) <br /> <br />M1S/C Lothrop and Loeffler. Ayes: 7; Noes: 0 <br /> <br />E. Matter of Request for City of San Leandro Charter Amendment to Call for the <br />Election of the City Council and Mayor by a Majority Rather than Plurality of <br />Registered Voters. <br /> <br />Council Member Glaze indicated he was displeased with the method by which this <br />issue came forward from the Chamber of Commerce, the Industrial Roundtable, <br />and the public to the City Council. He stated he' feels it was targeting the Mayor's <br />seat and it is a round-a-bout way of pushing through a separate agenda. This <br />Amendment will discourage people from running for office, and it will definitely <br />discourage minorities - both race and gender minorities. He stated he is not <br />supportive of having a petition process regarding this issue in the community and <br />that is why he is voting to place this issue on the ballot. He concluded by <br />expressing his frustration that the community might be more interested in <br />considering plurality elections of elected officials than they are with the needs of <br />our various parks and neighborhoods. <br /> <br />The following Motion was then introduced: <br /> <br />Minute Order No. 2000-9, Matter of Request for City of San Leandro <br />Charter Amendment to Call for the Election of the City Council and Mayor by <br />a Majority Rather than Plurality of Registered Voters. (lOSS) <br /> <br />The City Council approved placing the matter of a Charter Amendment <br />to call for the election of the City Council and Mayor by a majority <br />rather than plurality of registered voters on the November Ballot. <br /> <br />M1S/C Grant and Galvan. Ayes: 6; Noes: Nardine <br /> <br />F. Minute Order No. 2000-10, Matter of Renaming the "Gallery San Leandro" <br />Room to "Sister Cities Gallery." (1071) <br /> <br />The City Council approved the renaming of the "Gallery San Leandro" <br />Room to "Sister Cities Gallery." <br /> <br />M1S/C Lothrop and Grant. Ayes; 7; Noes: 0 <br />
