DRAFT MINUTES Page 3 City of San Leandro City Council, San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District, and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-July 16, 2007 notification and his opportunity to cure as required by state law. Mr. Baloca reviewed the City's notification process related to delinquent fees. He indicated that in the future, staff could look into providing more advance notice to the property owner. Mayor Santos noted that this same issue came up last year. Councilmember Starosciak pointed out that 2400 Teagarden was not on the list. Mr. Jermanis indicated that staff would look into it. Janie Kent, San Leandro resident at 1170 Westbay Avenue, addressed the City Council, commenting that she received a notice from Alameda County Industries that her garbage fees are delinquent and a lien will be placed on her property for $226. Ms. Kent stated that she retired on a disability, her disability payments have run out and her house is already in foreclosure. Ms. Kent indicated that she might be able to make small payments toward the fee balance. Mr. Jermanis suggested that Ms. Kent discuss the matter with Mr. Baloca to see if other arrangements can be made for payment of the fees. Rosa Christopher, San Leandro property owner, addressed the City Council, commenting that she owns a warehouse which she rents out. Ms. Christopher stated that she received a notice that her tenant's business license fee was delinquent, and now the tenant has disappeared and she cannot locate him. Ms. Christopher commented that she does not want to continue leasing to the tenant. Mr. Jermanis commented that the fee is due and, depending on the terms of the lease agreement, the tenant could be in default and the property owner could take action to terminate the agreement. If the fee is unpaid, it will become a lien on the commercial property and the responsibility of the property owner. Mr. Jermanis suggested that Ms. Christopher could seek legal assistance to terminate the agreement with her tenant. Lou Filipovich, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting that this matter does not apply to the citizens served by the Oro Lorna Sanitary District. Mayor Santos reminded Mr. Filipovich that his comments must be directed to the Mayor as Chair. Mr. Filipovich disputed this rule. There being no further comments from the public, and without objection, the Public Hearing was closed. . Resolution No. 2007-095, Resolution Overruling Protests (Solid Waste Service Charges, Alarm Response Fees, Code Violation Penalties and/or Weed Abatement Charges, and Business License and West San Leandro Shuttle Business Improvement District Fees).
