City Council Comments Council Member Nardine commented on the railroad-track crossing arms at Williams. She indicated they come down too fast and should be looked into. Council Member Nardine also requested an update on the completion of the Manor Branch Library. With regard to public participation, Council Member Nardine confirmed with the City Attorney that the public has the option of commenting on the Minutes during the Public Comments portion of the Council Meeting. 2. Vice Mayor Galvan noted that, although Council Member Loeffler will be making the recommendation, he would be in favor of sending the request to name the ball field at Thrasher Park after Tony Nassimento to the appropriate City Council Committee for consideration. 3. Council Member Glaze commented that a HOME Funds program has come before the City Council before, and a loan was made to a developer on Tropic Court. Referencing that previous action, he noted the Resolution approved did not match what was actually taken to the public in relation to what those funds were really used for. He further commented, when staff works with a developer or a property owner on a loan, he would like to make it clear the residents surrounding the project, or the residents that are being affected, be duly noticed and informed of the proposal. 4. Council Member Loeffier agreed with Council Member Glaze's comments. He further commented that he feels it would be appropriate for the Mayor or the City Council to send some sort of note to Mayor Brown of Oakland, thanking the Oakland City Council for passing a Resolution stating their strong action in preserving the closure of I-580 to truck traffic. He also asked if the City Council should send a letter to Caltrans, affirming the position taken by the City of Oakland.
