Discussion of Burrell Field City Manager Jermanis reported on past history and previous discussions about the condition and maintenance of the site. There had been some ideas of moving it to the Oyster Bay property, but that would not work out due to height requirements. He reported that it components could be transferred elsewhere or that the facility could be fixed at the existing site for approximately $20 million. He stated that both the City and District have limited resources. Councilmember Gregory commented on the "Field of Dreams" company and asked if this concept could be a possibility for San Leandro.
