Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 20, 1996 Page - 3 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) C. Kim Scoby, 1408 Pearson Avenue, said, on October 25, 1995, her son was playing in San Leandro Creek and was beaten. He was in a coma for eight days and required throat surgery. Now a man was murdered in the same area. She said the neighbors need to know what's going on. She said there is either no fencing or the fencing has holes in it. She's been told there's a gang from Oakland patrolling the creek. She said her son felt safe but nearly lost his life. She said neighbors need to know they must keep their children out of the creek, and something must be done. She requested help from the City Council. Mayor Corbett said two people have been taken into custody in the murder case, and the Police Department is pursuing every lead to see that those who harmed her son are taken off the streets. The City Manager said a community meeting will be held with Ms. Scobee and her neighbors to get them involved and see how their concerns can be addressed. D. Donald Marshall, 14826 East 14th Street, said his family owns two blocks and asked what eminent domain will mean to them. Mayor Corbett explained that Mr. Marshall's property is not on the list of properties and will not be subject to eminent domain. E. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, spoke regarding the Little Davis Bacon Act. He said he has been very active in labor issues for many years and represents working men and women. He said the prevailing wage is the same as the minimum wage, and unless the Council establishes a prevailing wage, the Resolution will be meaningless. 6.
