Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and Page - 3 - Redevelopment Agency Meeting - September 3, 1996 4.3 Dana Johnson, 343 Farrelly Drive, said he opposes the Renaissance Conference Center and the financial impact. He cited the Oakland Coliseum financial situation and quoted statements from the Daily Review. He said he feels this is potentially the same situation. He asked why private financing could not be obtained. He said the Mayor had received funds from the developer. He asked the Mayor not to make any decision and not to get involved. Mayor Corbett noted that while she has received donations from various organizations and individuals throughout the community, it has not affected her ability to lead or to make decisions. 4.4 Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, said the funds are taxpayers' funds and not the City's funds. He asked where the money is coming from to fund the cottage industries. He said they keep adding police officers, and the City cannot get out of debt; he suggested that funds go to pay off the debt. He commented on private funding and equity partnerships and believes there is plenty of private funds to dedicate to San Leandro. Mayor Corbett presented Sheila Young, outgoing Board of Zoning Adjustments Member, a Commendation for her work and dedication to the community. 5.
