Candidates elected at the General Municipal Election would take their seats July 1, and candidates elected following a runoff would take their seats January 1. -- After a brief discussion by the City Council regarding the Committee's reasoning and discussion of the matter, the consensus of the City Council was to bring this issue back to the full City Council within sixty (60) days. C. City Council Comments 1. Council Member Loeffler prepared written comments "For the Record," which are attached and incorporated herein. 2. Council Member Lothrop agreed with Council Member Loeffler's comments on the Shoreline area and noted she had worked with staff to remove tires behind the homes on Neptune Drive. She also commented on the Summer Reading Program and thanked the volunteers and indicated staff and volunteers are working on the library fundraising efforts. She said she took a walk down Davis Street and said the pedestrian crossing at Davis Street is difficult, given the time allotted by the traffic signal. She also noted access out of that neighborhood is difficult. She indicated a need to raise awareness of this problem with Caltrans. -- After a brief discussion, it was the City Council's consensus that the Mayor and Council Member Lothrop, with the help of staff, will invite representatives from Caltrans for lunch at Burger King in order for them to see the site in question. Steve Emslie indicated that this intersection issue could be something for the GPAC to review during the General Plan Review, should City Council desire.
