Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - May 15, 1995 Page - 15 - <br /> CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS (continued) <br /> F. Mayor Corbett noted it had been a busy weekend, including a block party <br /> on MacArthur Boulevard and the marshland dedication. She thanked <br /> everyone involved in the dedication and the project, with special <br /> thanks to Kathy Ornelas for her hard work. <br /> Mayor Corbett referred to a May 3rd Daily Review article, which stated <br /> the Mayor had violated the Charter, and said there was an investigation <br /> by the City Attorney's Office. She noted the City Attorney had <br /> prepared a letter of correction to the Daily Review, but it had not <br /> been printed. She said the letter verifies there was no wrong-doing or <br /> violation of the Charter, and the statement in the Review was <br /> incorrect. In response to questions from the Mayor, the City Attorney <br /> said there had not been a violation of the Charter nor an investigation <br /> with regard to appointments to inter-governmental agencies. He said a <br /> report was prepared by the City Manager, City Clerk, and City Attorney <br /> in response to requests by the City Council , and staff reviewed three <br /> joint power agreements which provide that the Council make appointments <br /> to the Alameda County Waste Management Authority, East Bay Dischargers <br /> Authority, and Alameda County Congestion Management Authority. He said <br /> this was a procedural issue. <br /> In response to Council questions, the City Attorney concurred that <br /> those three joint power agreements require a vote of the City Council , <br /> so procedure had not been followed. <br /> Mayor Corbett said the statement in the Review was that the Charter was <br /> violated, and it was important to her that the statement be corrected. <br /> Council Member Myers said the appointments were done incorrectly. The <br /> City Attorney said it was a procedural mistake. <br /> 10.
