Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council and Page 9 San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting -August 2, 1999 5. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS AND COMMENTS A. Reports on Intergovernmental Agencies Mayor Young referenced a Fact Sheet on Measure "B," which she will be distributing to the City Council next week, and said the City Council needs to discuss SCA 3, which is a Senate Bill proposed for November of 2000 that allows State transportation sales taxes to be enacted upon a simple, majority vote, with a 20-year sunset clause. Mayor Young indicated the City Council needs to make some decisions as to how the City Council would want to handle projects within the City Limits of San Leandro. She suggested scheduling the issue for a Work Session or just discuss this at a City Council Meeting in September. She said it should be decided how to package the continued Reauthorization in Alameda County alone fora 2/3rds vote; or, if SCA 3 passes through the Senate, how we would like to package a 20-year plan. The projects that were in the City's original, 15- year plan included the Davis/Westgate Extension, 150' Avenue/Hesperian Corridor, Beatrice at Washington, and the Widening of Lewelling. B.
