Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - January 4, 1993 Page - 4 - 7. NEW BUSINESS Items Removed from the Consent Calendar. 6.A. The Minutes of the meeting of December 21 , 1992 . Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, said his comments on page 3 of the December 21 , 1992, Minutes, regarding the City Attorney's excellent work on the Sierra Club lawsuit, should also have said that it was a shame that the City has such an able attorney to represent the City, but it is too bad that they don't have such an attorney to represent the taxpayer. He said there is no intervener funding for the average person to participate in City government. He said it is not possible to present a case in two or three minutes. He said the three-minute time limit is ill advised. He said he asked the City Council for their opinion on this matter and there was no response. He noted a December 24, 1992, newspaper article regarding new Business License Fees which said that the fees had come as a surprise to the Oakland Scavenger company. There being no further comments, on motion of Council Member Myers, seconded by Council Member Polvorosa, and carried unanimously, the Minutes of the December 21, 1992, City Council Meeting were approved as submitted. 6.B. Resolution Certifying Negative Declaration and Approving Plans and Specifications and Calling for Bids for Dredge Disposal Site Reconfiguration, Project No. 93-8667 (certifies Negative Declaration as complete and in compliance with CEQA requirements and provides for removal and disposal of approximately 180,000 cubic yards of dried, dredged material from the San Leandro Dredge Disposal Site and the reconfiguration of the site from 114 acres to 100 acres) . Jeff Houston, 1465 Burkhart Avenue, thanked the staff for their wonderful work on the CEQA process and for soliciting and responding to public comments. He thanked Mayor Karp for removing the item from the Consent Calendar and inviting public comment. He said the Resolution states there will only be three islands and asked if it could be changed to more than three. Mayor Karp said it has been changed in the Supplement to six islands. Mayor Karp noted that the City Council Meeting had been preceded by a Work Session in the South Offices Conference Room. He said the public is invited to attend so that they can understand what occurs at the following City Council Meetings. He said the City Council spent 3/4 of an hour discussing the Dredge Disposal Program and habitat-enhancement site.
