M1N U1'ES Page 9 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting--October 1, 2007 Battenberg would present to the Shoreline-Marina Committee a list of about 50 potential developers. Vice Mayor Grant commented that the selection criteria asks for demonstrated competency for developing similar projects, and she asked how we will differentiate between developers if their competencies are in different areas. Ms. Battenberg indicated that developers with only residential experience were removed from the list, and an emphasis will be placed on the types of uses currently allowed, as well as the recreation-oriented and commercial activities. Councilmember Souza asked whether the developers would receive the information gathered from the Marina Town Hall meetings. Ms. Battenberg stated that the information from the Town Hall meetings is available on the City's website and links to the information are provided throughout the RFQ. The Environmental Assessment Report will also be made available to them. Councilmember Gregory inquired about the status of the Environmental Assessment Report. Mr. Jermanis indicated that staff recently received and is reviewing the document, and will provide comments to the Committee at its meeting in November. B.
