4. Public Comments <br />Michael Cook stated that he does not feel good about staff selecting a developer for the <br />Shoreline -Marina Area. The developers know best what should happen at the Marina and <br />staff should not dictate what is developed through the developer selection process. Mr. Cook <br />explained that the Chula Vista Marina is a financial success and that the City should look at <br />success stories, not failures. <br />Heidi Finberg, Spinnaker Yacht Club, stated that she was pleased to hear that dredging is a <br />possibility, but was concerned that decision makers do not understand boating. <br />David Johnson shared that he moved to San Leandro due to the Marina and boating and <br />started several successful businesses in town, thereby bringing tax dollars to the City. <br />John Faria explained he has lived in the City his whole life and has only been through the <br />channel once. He stated the City should direct its financial resources toward family friendly <br />recreation at the Marina that can be enjoyed by everyone, not just boat owners. <br />Al Fernandez stated the cost of dredging is increasing the longer the City waits and that it is <br />not necessary to dredge to all markers. <br />Gerd Marggraff expressed the need to create development which can financially support the <br />Marina and stressed the need for Marina supporting services, such as a boat repair shop. <br />Bob Leigh expressed concern that the Marina could never be self-supporting and stated the <br />Marina does not serve the overall population of San Leandro. <br />Bo Johansen stated that the Marina does not offer commercial services and that if the City <br />develops the area people will come. <br />5. Committee Member Comments <br />Councilmember Prola explained that the issue isn't if we will dredge, but how much and <br />when. Councilmember Prola also stated that he would be interested to learn how Chula Vista <br />overcame their dredging issues. He also reported that he is optimistic that the City can make <br />the Marina work. <br />Councilmember Starosciak shared that it was also her understanding that the issue isn't if we <br />will dredge, but how much and when. She further explained that no decision had been made <br />regarding what the development of the marina will consist of and the visioning process will <br />include considerable community input. She then shared that a Town Hall meeting to discuss <br />the range of options for dredging maybe appropriate in the future. <br />6. Adjourn <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:50 A.M. <br />
