MINUTES Page 11 City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting~June 15, 2009 Regarding the comments made at the meeting related to combining the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Adjustments, Councilmember Prola agreed that it would be better to reduce the number of meetings rather than to combine the boards, and he noted that both boards preferred this option. Councilmember Prola commented that a merger of the boards should proceed slowly. 3. Shoreline-Marina Committee Meeting of May 26, 2009. Accepted as submitted. Councilmember Souza asked how the boat launch fee payment system would work. Mr. Bakaldin stated that staff would not be able to provide full-time enforcement, but would check periodically for compliance. Recommendation for City Council Consideration: a. Schedule approval to initiate a 6-month pilot program with a boat launch ramp fee structure as recommended by staff, with daily fees collected by an Iron Ranger self-register envelope deposit box using the "honor system." By consensus, the City Council approved this recommendation. 4. Shoreline-Marina Committee: Shoreline-Marina Town Hall Meetings of May 20, 2009 and May 28, 2009. Accepted as submitted. 12. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Gregory commented on the following activities that he attended/participated in: the annual Flag Day ceremony; a visit to the Fruitvale Transit Village childcare center on June 2; the successful 100`" Anniversary Cherry Festival; the Health is not just Health Care meeting on June 5; and a meeting of the Minetta Transportation Institute. Earlier this evening, Councilmember Gregory attended the third of three meetings held by the Eden Township Healthcare District at the San Leandro Library, and he estimated that about 500 people were in attendance. He asked Daily Review reporter Karen Holzmeister to comment on the straw poll taken by the District Board. Ms. Holzmeister stated that the District Board took a straw poll, and the results were 4-0, with Director Rajendra Ratnesar abstaining, to oppose the County's proposal to convert San Leandro Hospital into a rehabilitation and urgent care center. Councilmember Souza commented that she attended the Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee meeting, at which George Bischalany, CEO of the Eden Medical Center, shared information on the future of San Leandro Hospital. Councilmember Souza also attended the Cherry Festival, and gave kudos to the Recreation & Human Services staff for the successful event. She commented on the cost of dumping a load of trash at the Davis Street Transfer Station.
