PUBLIC HEARINGS-JOINT CITY COUNCIL/ REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY <br />None. <br />5. PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Public Comments are limited to 3 minutes per speaker, subject to adjustment by the Mayor. <br />When you address the City Council, you should fill out a speaker card and submit it to the <br />City Clerk so the order of speakers may be determined and an official record of names and <br />addresses obtained. The public is invited to make comments on items of public interest NOT <br />listed on the Agenda. <br />Wafaa Aborashed, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, expressing concern <br />regarding Wa1Mart's application for a permit to sell alcohol at its Westgate store, and its <br />potential impacts on traffic, the Timothy Drive and Davis West neighborhoods, and small <br />independent businesses.
