Council Member Young reported on her attendance at a recent CMA <br />Meeting on behalf of the Mayor. She noted it was a Work Session on <br />land-use planning around mass transit. She believes we have some <br />property around the BART Station that would warrant some looking at <br />for that purpose. She noted she has passed that information onto the <br />City Manager and staff, and they are going to look into it with the <br />land-use planner/real-estate man from BART who has done some joint <br />agency planning with other cities in our neighborhood. She concluded <br />by stating several of the Council Members are going to Washington, <br />D.C., for the National League of Cities Conference, and the CMA <br />Director, Dennis Fay, is taking a group of folks from CMA who are <br />going to be working with MTC on lobbying for transportation funds. <br />She has asked them to allow her to tag along to learn the process in <br />group lobbying. She noted she will be doing that while she is in <br />Washington. <br />B. Reports on City Council Committees <br />None <br />
