Laverne Anderson, 1495 - 159th Street, addressed the Council regarding a portion of Fairway Drive, in the area of 1936 Fairway Drive, that has a recently tarred portion of road that is now about 6 inches deep and causes problems while traveling on Fairway. He also expressed concerns with the continuance of weeds in the area across from Unisource. He continued by commenting on the recent successful Youth Summit and noted that issues of concern for the youth are that the City address needs for a sports complex, a movie theater, a dance club, billiards, miniature golf, and a voice in government. He concluded by stating, if the City can spend millions on business, they could just as well spend it on our children. i. Mike McGee, PG&E Government Relations Representative, addressed the Council and explained his role for PG&E. He commented that he is the Public Affairs Manager for Alameda County and the competition for the supply of electricity has now opened up. He clarified that PG&E is not a part of the competition. The competition is with the "supply" end of the business. PG&E will still be around and will be delivering the power and ensuring proper and safe service.
