Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and Page - 3 - San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Special Meeting - June 30, 1997 Council Member Lothrop commented that the affects that the airport is having aren't those that are just specific to District 6. It really impacts citizens all over the community. She concluded by stating the entire Council is very committed to this issue and interested in doing whatever they can to mitigate the circumstances. Vice Mayor Loeffler thanked Mr. Santos' group for their participation in this issue and noted the overall awareness is at a much higher level because of their participation. He, too, noted they are hearing more aircraft noise in his district (District 5) due to airplanes cutting into that area to reach the runway. B. Glen Hilton, President of Best Manor Homeowners` Association, addressed the Council, noting they have been following the Creekside Development since its inception and hope the Council will look favorably on it when they vote. C. Rick Richards, 335 Peralta Avenue, addressed the Council on behalf of the Friends of the San Leandro Creek. He commented that he hopes everyone enjoyed the barbecue this last week. He also added that he would like to go on record, on behalf of the Friends of the San Leandro Creek, that Mr. Irmer has worked closely with them and the proposed project is a very exciting one. He feels the project pays tribute to the history of San Leandro and hopes the Council is supportive of the project. D. Carey Walker, 471 Santa Monica, Mission Bay Mobile Home Park, addressed the Council, regarding the Mayor's and Council's salary. He noted that, compared to surrounding cities, the Council and Mayor would be making too much. He feels those monies could be better spent fixing streets. He concluded by commenting that the Daily Review and the Times should report what the people say and not just what the Council says. He also noted the railroad crossings are in need of repair. E. Ann Hague, 1102 San Rafael Street, President of Estudillo Homeowners` Association, addressed the Council, stating she is very impressed with the developer of the Creekside project. The developer took time and sought public input, and she hopes the Council is supportive of the project. She feels it will be a wonderful addition to San Leandro. F. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, addressed the Council, expressing concerns that the Minutes for the last Council Meeting are not yet available and will not be until the first meeting in August. He added that each Agenda should provide for time for the public to speak on any relevant topic, pursuant to Government Code Sections 54954.2 and 54954.3. He stated it is impossible to speak to items on an Agenda that is so overloaded. He also expressed frustration that he never gets his questions answered. Mr. Filipovich commented on the Mayor's attendance at the recent Mayors' Conference in San Francisco and added that, during the President's speech, it was very obvious the Democrats had seats and the Republicans had to stand up.
