CALL TO ORDER 2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG 3. ROLL CALL PRESENT: Council Members Corbett, Kerr, Myers, Nahm, Perry, Polvorosa; Mayor Faria ABSENT: None 4. PRESENTATIONS None 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS Public Comments are limited to 3 minutes per person. A. Scott A. Grubbs, 13475 Bancroft Avenue, Apt. 302, presented a plan which he said could save the City over $400,000. He said Cal -Trans will be repaving East 14th Street and the sidewalks will be repaired. He said the 289 parking meters along East 14th Street can be removed and installed at the Marina Park, and this will save the City $400,000. He said the proposed $2.00 parking fee at Marina Park is unjustifiable, and people should not be charged to use a park they pay taxes for. He said removal of the parking meters along East 14th Street would be better for the purchasing public, the downtown merchants, and will increase sales. He said installation of the meters at Marina Park would bring in more revenue than they do on East 14th Street. He said this is the only viable alternative to a park user fee. Regarding the proposed Furlough Program, Mr. Grubbs said the City should try to maintain a small -scale crew at the Main Library. B. Ray Luciano, 1330 Daily Drive, spoke regarding the two-term limit. He said he read an article in the newspaper that said Mayor Faria would be eligible to run for another eight years as Council Member. Steve Meyers, City Attorney, said, under the terms of the Charter, it is his opinion that someone who was appointed as Mayor, and has not served two complete terms as Council Member, would be eligible to run for Council Member again. Mr. Luciano said that was not the intent when the Charter was originally amended.
