Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - August 7, 1995 Page - 12 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) In response to questions, staff indicated the nominees had been contacted and indicated they would be willing to serve. The Council also questioned the mechanics of the committee and whether it would utilize subcommittees. In response to Council questions, Mayor Corbett said the Council had decided some time ago that no Council Members would serve on the EDAC. The Council directed that the ad hoc committee meet again and consider the concerns expressed; consider expanding the EDAC, possibly to 17 members; and consider adding more categories. 10. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS A. Council Member Galvan referred to comments by Mr. Kitzmann and said the City Council has had problems, but they have been working through them and things have improved. He said they have disagreements from time to time on issues, but he feels they have come together on big issues and have done important things working with staff, such as Costco, the joint Redevelopment Project, etc. He said, most of the time the City Council has worked well together and camaraderie has been built. Council Member Galvan noted the Council would be losing three members because Howard Kerr and Kent Myers are not seeking re-election and Linda Perry cannot run for another term. He said he will miss them and noted the City Council will look completely different in seven or eight months. B. Council Member Perry commended all those who participated in National Night Out. She said she attended 16 of the 21 activities throughout the city.
