The public is invited to make any comments related to Agenda items (including San Leandro Redevelopment Agency, San Leandro Parking Authority, and San Leandro Industrial Development Authority) or other items of public interest at this time. Comments regarding Public Hearing items will be heard during the Public Hearing portion of the Agenda. A. Dana Johnson spoke regarding problems with speeding on Durant Avenue; suggested the Mayors of Alameda, Oakland and San Leandro submit a toxic remediation plan to Congress, in keeping with suggestions by Newt Gingrich; asked if cutbacks considered in previous budget years would be considered to address the potential 1995-96 deficit; and requested that the Mayor stop the hiring of new police officers because the City cannot afford it and should think about turning the Crime Bill funds down. B. Casmar Jancek, 15906 Via Cordova, San Lorenzo, a member of the Citizens' Advisory Committee on Redevelopment in Alameda County, said the City should encourage Alameda County to construct its new building on East 14th Street between 159th and 162nd Avenues or on Ashland Avenue. He said this would help generate customers and revenue for Bayfair.
