DRAFT MINUTES <br /> Page 6 <br />November 17, 2008 <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting <br /> <br /> <br />Councilmember Gregory provided background on his involvement in the program. <br />Through his service on an ACTIA bicycle and pedestrian steering committee for elected <br />officials, he learned that there was funding available through ACTIA and Measure B for <br />Safe Routes to Schools. A staff member from TransForm (formerly the Transportation <br />and Land Use Coalition) will be dedicated to work with the schools to implement the <br />program. Councilmember Gregory indicated that he was comfortable with removing <br />the names of the two schools from the resolution; however, he commented on the <br />importance of moving forward with the pilot program, since the school district is not <br />actively pursuing it. <br /> <br />Mayor Santos added that the City and San Leandro Unified School District Liaison <br />Committee have discussed the program. <br /> <br />Councilmember Starosciak stated that she would like to know the details of the <br />program, and would like to see a staff review of the program prior to consideration by <br />the Council. She commented that there was no information provided about why the two <br />schools were chosen or about what outcomes we are trying to achieve. <br /> <br />Vice Mayor Stephens suggested that, if there is no time urgency on this issue, this item <br />be brought back to the Council with a staff report. <br /> <br />Councilmember Souza asked whether the City and School District Liaison Committee <br />had made a recommendation to the Council on this matter. <br /> <br />Mayor Santos indicated that the School Liaison Committee has discussed moving the <br />program forward more stringently than in the past. He concurred with Vice Mayor <br />Stephens that the item be brought back with a staff report. <br /> <br />No action was taken. <br /> <br /> <br />10.
