Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Page - 9 - January 12, 1998 Council Member Young thanked the public who stayed so late in the evening. She stated she would like to see this level of participation on other issues before the Council. She suggested that Council be responsive to the needs in District 6. She expressed her concern with the Conditions requested by the Chamber and noted she recognizes they may not be considered tonight, but perhaps they could be considered later. She urged the audience to keep their eye on the paper and participate in future Agenda items. Council Member Lothrop stated she is concerned with what is "substantive." To people in her District, these changes are more than minor. She continued by stating District 6 is taking a lot of development and redevelopment planned for the coming years. She, too, stressed that people need to contribute and participate when these types of issues come forward to the Council. Mayor Corbett complimented staff on the many questions answered here this evening. She, too, has been frustrated and has anguished over this issue. She stated her concern with the continued health of the Westgate Center and recognized that the MOU was agreed to by a previous Council. She stated her concern with what to do with the Davis Corridor and added that Council's consideration of a citizen advisory group to deal with issues should be revisited, noting it has been discussed by Council before. She added that she has had a great deal of respect for the Council throughout this process but will be voting to approve the Appeal, although she does wish the Westgate Center well.
