Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - September 5, 1995 Page - 2 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) B. Dana Johnson, 343 Farrelly Drive, said his car has been broken into five times, but it is unavoidable and the police are doing what they can. He said the City Council is abrogating its responsibility by using a consultant to conduct a community survey. He said the needs of the community are obvious, and it is the City Council 's job to make decisions. C. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, said City sponsorship of Leadership San Leandro discriminates between voters, the time limits for public comments violate the Brown Act, he had filed a document with the City and nothing has come of it, and the City should utilize telephone survey policing to obtain public input. In response to Council questions, the City Attorney said City support of the leadership program does not violate any State or Federal laws. 6. CONSENT CALENDAR Consent Calendar items are typically routine in nature and are considered for approval by the City Council with one single action. The City Council may remove items from the Consent Calendar for purposes of discussion. Items listed on the Consent Calendar are deemed to have been read by title. Items 6.B. and 6.I. were removed from the Consent Calendar to New Business. The City Council discussed items G and H. 6.G Matter of Dissolving the City Council Mobile Home Policy Committee. Vice Mayor Kerr said Sandev Mobile Home Park has requested an ad hoc committee for special issues related to mobile home parks, on a case- by-case basis. Mayor Corbett said dissolution of the Committee does not mean the Council is no longer interested in mobile home parks but will continue to deal with issues as appropriate. Council Member Perry said smaller mobile home parks, such as Sandev, have a different perspective and need a mechanism to continue to have a voice. Mayor Corbett concurred and said she will be in touch with Ms. Nichols of Sandev. 6.H An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of San Leandro Adding Title IV, Chapter 31. to the San Leandro Municipal Code Relating to Safety Requirements at the Skateboard Area of Thrasher Park (requires the wearing of safety equipment within the designated skateboard area) . Council Member Myers said he saw a group of "professionals" at the skateboard park, and they were not wearing protective gear. The City Attorney said the Ordinance makes no distinction between amateurs and professionals; anyone using the park must wear protective gear. He said State law requires an Ordinance stating that users of a publicly funded skateboard park must wear protective gear.
