Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Page 11 December 20, 1999 H. Council Member Loeiller questioned where the issue of the Flood Control concerns will go - to staff or to a City Council Committee? Council Member Glaze indicated there was a huge public hearing on this issue, and the issue was dropped at that point. He said the City did a great thing and took the extra step to notify residents and inform them of the proposed boundary changes from FEMA, which then caused people to think the City was involved in the setting of the boundaries. He said he hopes staff will follow up on the input that has been received and provide information to the residents. The Mayor added that City staff actually "went to bat" for the public and pushed to have some homes removed and new maps drawn. She noted the City Manager can respond regarding staff follow-up on this issue during his comments. Mayor Young indicated she will, with help from Council Member Glaze and Vice Mayor Galvan, put together a Commendation for Mr. Buchman and present it at the next Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District Meeting. 9.
