Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council Meeting August 17,1998 Page 6 and should have been acted on individually. You combined them. By the same token, you done the same thing when you set out to try to get a response on it. What you have here, right now, is the same thing that would come under Proposition 62, because you have already closed the public hearing -which you have done incorrectly. I won't say it's illegal -incorrectly." The Clerk indicated that Mr. Filipovich's time was up at this point. Mr. Filipovich continued: "There you go -now how can the people know if this is the way you're going to conduct your meetings because here's a document telling you why you couldn't close the hearing and it's one of your own documents. Now, I'm gonna stop there because I'm gonna pursue this in another way. And I'll guarantee you that this is not gonna float and what you should do right now, is do what you're supposed to do based on what the people presented. That is that you rescind everything that is on here and get rid of it or you put it on the ballot for the people to vote. You can't postpone it. The only reason you have it here and why it is pressed tonight is that you are under the impression that you can put it on the tax bill, and the people should know that." N. Arturo Lopez, 194 Preda Street, addressed the Council, protesting all fee increases and stating the matter should be put on the ballot. O. Ray Ronco, 14414 Seagate Drive, President of the Seagate Homeowners' Association, addressed the Council, commenting that they don't even participate in the green-waste recycling and they are taxed for it. He added that they don't get the annual debris pick-up and they are not getting their streets swept, but they would like to see that they do receive that service. They ultimately would like to receive the services they are being taxed for or receive a refund. 5. CONTINUED NEW BUSINESS A.
