Councilmember Prola commented on the danger posed by drivers who call or text on their cell phones while driving, and would like to see a priority placed on enforcement of this problem. He requested that the RV parking issue be placed on the next Rules and Communications Committee agenda. Vice Mayor Reed reported that she attended the presentation by Senator Corbett and Treasurer Lockyer on the state budget, noting that the situation is grim. She attended the kickoff for the San Leandro Patch kickoff, and she is looking forward to the trip to Washington, D.C. As a member of the Rules and Communications Committee, she expressed hesitancy at bringing the RV parking matter back so soon. Mayor Cassidy suggested waiting to revisit the RV parking issue until the new ordinance amendments have taken effect. There was a brief Council discussion, and consensus was reached to schedule a review of the RV parking matter for the April Rules and Communications Committee meeting. Mayor Cassidy suggested it would be helpful to create a list of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) with the new RV parking ordinance provisions, post it on the City website, and provide it to the news media. Mayor Cassidy reported that he participated in Read Across America. He thanked Councilmembers Starosciak and Gregory for their participation and contributions as members on the Alameda CTC. Mayor Cassidy suggested promoting the March 16th transportation meeting at the Library. He met with Senator Corbett late last week regarding the state budget.
