Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and Page - 25 - <br /> Redevelopment Agency Meeting - October 7, 1996 <br /> Council Member Lothrop asked staff to look into traffic issues <br /> within the "Little Alaska" neighborhood. <br /> Council Member Lothrop challenged the Council to a "Wok Off" <br /> at the Farmers' Market, both for fun and to market the weekly <br /> event at the Library. Council agreed to participate in some <br /> way - cooking or otherwise. <br /> 8.3.6 Mayor Corbett commented on the Oakland Airport expansion <br /> project. She said she is receiving comments on the issue. <br /> She said the EIR study group desires an opportunity to gain <br /> public comment. She suggested that the City provide that <br /> opportunity. Council concurred. <br /> Mayor Corbett said she attended the Penafrancia event. She <br /> said it was very well attended, the food was incredible, and <br /> made a special note that the area had been extremely well <br /> cleaned up after the event ended. She said a letter will be <br /> sent out. She said she had also attended wonderful kick -off <br /> parades and festivals at St. Felicitas and Assumption <br /> parishes. <br /> Mayor Corbett congratulated Council Member Lothrop on her <br /> successful crime - prevention meeting and noted that the notices <br /> were printed in several languages, which was of wonderful <br /> assistance to the participants. <br /> Mayor Corbett commented that, while a long -term permanent use <br /> of the Corp Yard is being pursued, perhaps some wild flower <br /> seeds or grass could be planted for the community to enjoy on <br /> a temporary basis, such as soccer fields. She suggested that <br /> staff return with some ideas. Council concurred. <br /> Mayor Corbett said it was probable no furlough would be <br /> necessary . this year and the libraries would remain open. <br /> Interim City Manager Wandzia Grycz asked that she have the <br /> ability to inform the schools, since there was some concern <br /> about the libraries potentially being closed. Council <br /> concurred. <br /> 8.3.7 Council Member Glaze noted that he and Council Member Young <br /> had attended the Washington Manor Day in the Park. He said it <br /> was a very nice event. <br />
