Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council and Page 7 San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting -May 3, 1999 Council discussion ensued regarding the necessity to keep the Ad Hoc Committee intact. Council Member Loeffler commented on the complexity of the agencies involved with I-580 issues.

He concluded by stating this Committee should look at those truck issues and determine where they fit into the overall transportation needs of San Leandro.
