CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS A. Council Member Corbett asked how the hiring of students impacts the Business License Fee of those businesses. Vice Mayor Faria said there is concern that having to pay additional Business License Fees for youths will affect the youth employment programs. He said there are over 600 kids involved in the Regional Occupation Training Program, and most of them are working in San Leandro. He said the City does not wish to discourage youth employment. Staff was requested to look into how this could be handled. B. Council Member Corbett said she and Council Member Perry participated in the Martin Luther King, Jr. , Day activities on Monday. She said there was supposed to be an outdoor march but, due to weather, the event was held at the Teamsters Hall . She said it was an inspiring day, with people coming together and sharing their memories of Dr. King. She said the San Leandro banner was carried, and she thanked Dennis Smith for his participation and said it was a very nice event. C. Council Member Kerr said he has a large fence on Lewelling Boulevard which is often graffitied. He said recently the City of San Leandro graffiti -removal employee came by and helped him clean up the graffiti and did a very good job. D. Council Member Kerr said the newspapers misreported the Dunsmuir project. He said one newspaper said the San Leandro City Council had approved the project. He said the San Leandro City Council did not approve the project. The project was totally in Oakland. He said Oakland denied the project. He said it is important for the public to know that, if Oakland had not denied the project and the San Leandro City Council had not approved the MOU, San Leandro would have ended up paying for all improvements. He said he thinks the City Council did the right thing, and he is writing a Letter to the Editor explaining his views. E. Council Member Polvorosa noted graffiti is appearing on the soundwalls on I-880 almost as soon as it goes up; in fact, while the scaffolding is still in place.
