Larry Norry, 2532 Williams Street, addressed the Council regarding New Business Item 6.6 (Budget Strategies) and asked why the City needs to hire a consultant to determine where the boundaries are for monuments in his area. He added that he feels they should be put at Menlo and Marina and Fairway and Doolittle. D. Francois Gallo, Neighborhood Aviation Advisory Committee of San Leandro (NAACSL), addressed the Council regarding New Business Item 6.D, noting he was glad to see it on the Agenda. He added that he is looking for support from the Council. He also noted the Quentin Kopp Bill, SB 1853, which he hopes the Council will support. With regard to the matter of discussion regarding the Oakland Airport-Community Noise Management Forum, he thanked the City for putting up the funds to participate. He hopes people will have input on the agendas that are created and that the agenda will not only consist of that which the Port of Oakland wants to discuss. E. Stuart Alexander, 2463 West Avenue 133rd, addressed the Council, asking what the exact amount will be to fix the street lamps in the Breed/Lewis District. He referenced the City of Pleasanton and noted they have a quality Senior Center where they fix anything. He feels the proposal this evening is a fine example of how San Leandro wastes taxpayers' money. He feels San Leandro should do something like Pleasanton and get seniors to do the work for free.
