The Mayor inquired, and the City Council agreed, to make a combined, personal contribution to the "After Graduation Sober Party Program" for the two high schools. B. Council Member Lothrop noted the news received recently regarding the loss of the San Francisco Bay Conference Center project. She commented on past agreements with labor groups regarding development at the Marina and stated she hoped those agreements would stand for future development proposals. The City Attorney recommended bringing a resolution to the City Council to memorialize existing agreements with labor groups regarding all aspects of the agreements and/or negotiated terms which were reached with the San Francisco Bay Conference Center project. City Council general consensus was reached to ensure that all prospective developers know the history of prior agreements. Council Member Lothrop suggested the Marina sites be opened to more interested parties through an open process; i.e., Request for Proposals. C. Council Member Loefller reported on the National League of Cities Conference, indicating meetings were held with James Lee Witt of FEMA, noting FEMA has proposed to have public agencies insure buildings against disasters. Council Member Loefller also reported on programs he saw at the National League of Cities Conference regarding the "undoing of racism" in communities and expressed his view that there is a need to have public dialogue on this issue in San Leandro. He suggested this issue be placed on the Mayor's Human Relations Council Agenda.
