Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting - May 15, 2000 Page 8 The City Manager commented on a letter received by George W. Uri, Jr., owner of 321 Davis Street, regarding his property's inclusion in the proposed extension of continuation of eminent domain. It was noted Mr. Uri respectfully requested deletion of his property from the list of properties to be included. The City Manager clarified that staff is not proposing to change the status of this particular property, because it already has the power of eminent domain. Staff is just suggesting those powers be continued into the next nine years in case there is a need to do something with that property if it doesn't either become fully occupied or the overall condition has not improved. The following Resolutions were then introduced: Resolution No. 2000-15, Resolution of the San Leandro Redevelopment Agency of the City of San Leandro Approving the Report to the City Council on the Proposed Merger of the Plaza 1 and Plaza 2 Redevelopment Project Areas and Requesting a Joint Public Hearing.

Tom Guarino, Executive Director of the San Leandro Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Agency/Council, indicating the Chamber's support for the Amendments. He also recognized Debbie Potter for her outreach and efforts to work with the property owners. There being no further comments from the public, the Public Hearing was closed. The City Attorney noted staff had referenced a letter from the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) which provided information that the Agency already had. As a result of that letter, the Resolution approving the Negative Declaration has been amended to include a "Whereas," which states"... one public comment on the Negative Declaration was received from the Department of Toxic Substances Control, such comment provided the Agency with additional information regarding hazardous materials in the Plaza 2 Project Area, the Agency was already aware of the hazardous materials specified in the comment, and issues regarding hazardous materials will not be affected by the proposed merger."
