Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - July 17, 1995 Page - 4 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) D. Connie Calvert, 263 Santa Susana, Mission Bay Mobilehome Park, said City-wide rent control was sought, but there is none. She said the agreement was not fully described, and people have no idea of what the pass-through might be. She said Mr. Sweeney stated he was not in favor of long-term leases because they present problems, but his comments were not reported in the Mission Bay magazine so people were not informed. She said the process has been underhanded and deceptive. She said a flyer was distributed at the park saying the park owners have taken out insurance to cover any and all disasters, but this is confusing because the agreement says disaster costs are passed through. She said the flyer also said the new agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. City Attorney Steve Meyers said he has reviewed the agreement, but it is the City Council which approves it. E. Carl Johnson, 428 Santa Monica, Mission Bay Mobilehome Park, said 17 meetings were held consisting of the residents' committee, several with the park property manager, and a couple with the City residents in the park, and they are endeavoring to improve conditions related to rent, the terms of the agreement, etc. He said they sent notices regarding two of the meetings in the afternoon and one in the evening; 97 people said they wanted to attend and about 50 actually attended. He said Jeff Moore attended all of them and went through the proposed negotiations page-by-page and answered questions. He said the agreement was distributed to those people who indicated they wanted a copy. He said the committee thought they had brought out the issues that were of prime importance to everyone, and he looks forward to the meeting on the 24th. F. Dick Marshall , 15014 Wengate, said it was great to see the creation of a Manager for the _ Golf . Course, but it should be removed from the Consent Calendar and discussed more fully with the City Council . He said he was concerned regarding the reporting lines if the golf course maintenance is privatized. Mr. Marshall said the Recreation and Parks Commission spent a lot of time trying to find a place for a skateboard park that is safe and usable, and time is of the essence. G. Jack Wood, 7892 Fairoaks, Pleasanton, said he was a resident of San Leandro for 70 years and still owns property in San Leandro. He said a newspaper article said Hayward is going to make a lot of money. He — said it is five-tenths of a mile from 238 to Bayfair Mall and 250 of the cars in the parking lot are being used for BART parking. He said Council Member Galvan is on the right track. H. Jeff Brooks, 15206 Edgemoor Street, President of Washington Manor Homeowners' Association, said his Association is in full support of the skateboard park. I . Flint Evans, 1615 Graff Court, President of the San Leandro Women's Team for two years and involved in soccer for seven years, said kids want to be active and play outside. He urged the City Council to approve the skateboard park.
