Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Page - 6 - June 1, 1998 public and by the City. It should allow for, in year 2020, that there be more than X50,000 in public use. She further clarified that the X10 million will be recaptured throughout the term of the Lease. In conclusion, she stated she agreed with comments made by Council Member Glaze regarding traffic mitigation that should be studied, whether or not this project goes forward. Council discussion took place regarding the negotiation efforts that took place with the hotel and restaurant employees' unions. It was noted an offer to have an independent election once employees were hired was rejected. Discussion regarding living wage vs. prevailing wages ensued. The City Manager noted "fait wage" of comparable employees at hotels was considered. It was also clarified that, if this Agreement contained a neutrality agreement with the hotel and restaurant employees' union, would they be supportive. It was indicated they would not - it depends on the definition of "neutrality." Discussion then took place regarding the precedence for public improvements at the Marina, referencing Horatio's and the Marina Inn. The necessity of studying traffic issues out in that area was acknowledged, and staff indicated they will bring something back to the Council in the next couple of months. The Mayor thanked Mike Dunlap, Barry Luboviski, and Jeff Davenport for their efforts. She stated she hopes they can continue to work with the parties involved. Her hope is that staff will continue to work and encourage the developer to negotiate with them to ensure the employees' rights and concerns are dealt with. She feels it would be beneficial to come to an agreement with the labor union and the building unions. Council Member Young clarified that signage issues will come back to the Council at a later date. Council Member Glaze stated that the Council has worked hard to come up with an agreement with the trades and a neutrality agreement. He hopes one of the things we get out of this is a clear, concise agreement. He would like to address issues, such as, what is the bottom line, what do they want, and what do they need to make this agreement work. Council Member Lothrop commented that she doesn't want to wait until the last minute to work out the issues with the hotel and restaurant unions. She also stated the Council needs to talk about considering a "living wage" in San Leandro. The following Resolution was then introduced: Resolution No. 98-59, Resolution Approving a Lease Agreement and Other Documents Between the San Francisco Bay Conference Center Resort, L.L.C., and the City of San Leandro Regarding the Network Conference Center.
