Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - April 19, 1993 Page - 31 - CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS (continued) E. Council Member Perry said she received a memo on fiber optics, but her point was that the phone company and cable TV industry will be knocking on our doors wishing to install fiber optics, and the City should look into a policy ahead of time as to what the City wants, including the possibility of franchise fees, and how it should be addressed in the General Plan, such as rights of ways, and in our Underground Utility Plan. Her point was to do this, but not that the City would start to do such installations. F. Council Member Perry noted concerns of Donna Street residents related to traffic. She said she would be happy to facilitate a meeting and noted the problem includes cut throughs to the signal , as well as going down Margery to Western. G. Council Member Perry noted this is National Library Week. She noted she would be reading the next two nights, at the South Branch Library and at the Main Library, and trying to encourage reading to youngsters in our community. H. Mayor Karp said he wished more energy were spent on HR 140, to stop Federal mandates from continuing. He said, if people put energy into HR 140, they would be well ahead of the game. I . Mayor Karp noted the Clean Water Act will be coming up again and said to keep a close eye on it because it may include more mandates. He said the City is getting choked between the State and Federal governments. J. Mayor Karp noted the City Hall expansion program news report should have stated that it is a retrofit, not an expansion. He noted the stimulus program has been cut from $16.3 billion to about $12 billion and probably will be cut some more, so he doesn't see any help coming from it for the retrofit or anything else. 10.
