Community Relations Representative Kathy Omelas provided background on the matter. She reported that the guidelines had been drafted narrowly, to prevent the Council from taking actions on international matters, and matters unrelated to San Leandro. The City Council Rules and Communications Committee reviewed the guidelines, and recommend broadening the language, to allow the Council to take a position on measures that have a significant impact on the San Leandro community. A motion was made by Councilmember Prola, seconded by Vice Mayor Reed, to adopt the resolution amending the guidelines. Councilmembers discussed the proposed amendments to the guidelines, and whether they would be able to take a position on Measure M without violating the new guidelines. City Attorney Jayne Williams clarified that the requirement in the proposed guidelines for consensus to agendize an item applied to measures that had not previously been placed on the Council's agenda. This requirement would not apply to the Council's consideration of support for Measure M. • Resolution No. 2010 -127, Resolution Amending Guidelines Regarding Council Support for Ballot Measures in the City of San Leandro Council Members' Handbook (allows support of or opposition to measures that directly benefit or impact a significant portion of the community of San Leandro or the City of San Leandro).
