Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - February 21, 1995 Page - 4 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) couldn't see one group of teenagers that looked menacing. She saw kids who were shopping, lots of families and children, over all positive attitude. People have to be more responsible about what they say. To use this type of media and to use a club doesn't do any good. She knows the Mayor supports Bayfair and hopes the City Council does also and will let the community know. H. Lynn Sexton, 231 Oakes Boulevard, said she did a large portion of her shopping at Stoneridge until about two years ago, when she began shopping at Bayfair. She does not feel any less safe walking to her car at Bayfair than at Stoneridge. She thinks the wrong approach has been taken. We need to work together in a positive spirit. Negativity results in loss of business. She has yet to hear positive solutions from the City' s worst critics. The more negative comments there are about San Leandro, the less people are going to want to move here, which is an attack on her property values. It shames her to think people are distrusted because they look, speak or dress differently. She believes there are creative people in the community who can help without making it a military operation. She is encouraged by work done by the City Council and confident in the Chamber. I . Rick Richards, 335 Peralta Avenue, had a conversation with security people at Bayfair. The number of youths that could be giving them problems is only about 10%. There are problems in malls all over California and the United States. Mr. Richards also spoke regarding Friends of the Creek and upcoming events. He invited the Council to the Third Annual Festival at Root Park on April 8th and the Creek Cleanup followed by a barbecue on April 15th. He distributed membership forms. 6.
