2. Public Comments <br />Barry Luboviski, Building Trades Council, concurred that an exclusive agreement is essential <br />and requested that "Labor Harmony" be included in the agreement to make it clear what is <br />expected of the developer. <br />Sabrina Porter, Local 2850 Oakland, recommended that union labor be include as a <br />requirement in the development plans. <br />Nischit Hedge, Unite Here, recommended that the City create standards for health care and <br />wages, and include "Labor Harmony" in the development agreement to prevent labor strife <br />during construction and operation of the new project. <br />$o Johannson asked when the community would have an opportunity to meet the developer. <br />Audrey Albers stated that dredging is important, however, she has not heard any mention of it. <br />She explained that the City has a marina and must try to save it. She does not want to see a <br />marina for kayaks and canoes only. <br />Mike Cook stated that he has only heard about a conference center, hotel and restaurants. <br />Perhaps a hotel and convention center is not the best solution and asked that the City have an <br />open mind. Future development should be an income producing solution. <br />Mayor Santos interjected that no decision has been made regarding the type of development. <br />He explained that although there was some sentiment in the room to dredge and keep the <br />Marina (for boaters), the majority of the community does not want to pay the high cost of <br />dredging. <br />Obray Van Buren, Pipe Trades Association, recommended that a "Labor Harmony" provision <br />be included in the agreement. <br />3. Committee Member Comments <br />Councilmember Starosciak shared that she was impressed that Cal-Coast read the minutes of <br />the townhall meetings regarding the Shoreline-Marina Area and understood the needs of the <br />City and the community. She reiterated her belief that Cal-Coast will be able to work <br />effectively with the community. <br />Councilmember Prola explained to the audience that the type of development to occur at the <br />Shoreline-Marina Area has not been predetermined. <br />4. Adjourn - The meeting adjourned at 2:45 P.M. <br />
