Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 3, 1995 Page - 14 - CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS (continued) Mayor Corbett said the Council discussed, specifically, what to do in the event some people might not be able to appoint in their district, and potential commissioners could be referred to others. She said this only applies to the Mayor's At-Large positions. She said it would be necessary for her to hear submittal of the Council 's names first. Council Member Perry said, if Mayor Corbett was going to appoint someone to a position in someone's district, that Council Member should know so there would not be duplications. Mayor Corbett said a number of people have inquired regarding Board and Commission seats, in response to a recent article in the San Leandro Times. We have heard from some, some we have not. She believes it is only fair that we give people an opportunity to respond ; and it is not fair to tell them to contact the City if they are interested in serving, and then say it is too late. She said some positions that are open were open long before there was any discussion on changes on Commissions. Council Member Galvan said the Council has not been able to appoint because they didn't know what would happen. C.
