PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments are limited to 5 minutes per person. The public is invited to make any comments related to Agenda items, or other items of public interest, at this time. A. Tony Santos, 14495 Nassau Road, addressed the Council on behalf of NAACSL and thanked the Council, Wandzia Grycz, and staff for their contributions to the North Field Research Group Meeting, noting special thanks to Kathy Ornelas for the work she did. He noted they finally have a commitment from the Airport to present to them some possible solutions for the use of the North Field runways. That report is forthcoming and should be in the Council's and NAACSL's hands by July 7, 1997, for review and comment. He noted it is also their understanding that the Airport is finally committed to installing four, additional noise monitors. NAACSL has stated the two they now have should be moved -- one to Garfield and one to the other two schools, Muir and Wilson. One should be installed at Davis Street in that residential corridor, and there is one needed at Washington Manor. He concluded by stating the NAACSL has been invited to a meeting which is to be held July 24, 1997, at 5:30 p.m., in Hayward. The meeting has been called by the City Manager of Hayward. He left a copy of the letter of response from NAACSL, accepting the invitation, and noting they are hopeful that there will be representatives present from Congressman Stark and Assemblyman Sweeney's offices. They are hoping to get Supervisor Gale Steele involved, also. Mayor Corbett commented that Council Member Joanne Lothrop spent the morning with a group from Davis Street West, discussing airport concerns, as well. She also commented that a letter was sent out with her signature to the Port of Oakland, requesting the sitting of noise monitors; and a letter has been returned, confirming the sitting of the monitors. The City will be working with them closely to ensure that they will be placed in the very best position to receive the best information with regard to noise issues. Mr. Santos requested that the Mayor support, and be on the forefront of, the possibility of the reconstitution of the Port Commission to see if a representative from their area could be appointed to that Commission.
