Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - August 15, 1994 Page - 4 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) Mike Oliver, City Manager, reviewed the City seismic retrofit program, including the funding, and the upcoming retrofit of all the Civic Center facilities. He said retrofit is now under way on three fire stations and two others are being examined and will be brought ,back to the City Council for future determination. He said plans are also being made regarding the Library and will be brought back to the City Council , and an assessment of the Water Pollution Control Plant seismic needs is also being completed. He described staffing for the retrofit, including the use of Bill Drummond of Pacific Union Ventures as a full - time construction manager. Mr. Oliver said the paramedic funding will not place additional costs on residents of the City. He said 10-12 years ago the voters approved a County-wide emergency medical services funding at a set rate and said the City has discontinued the old program and will use the funds to fund the paramedic program. K. Paul Vargas, 872 Portolla Drive, spoke regarding the tough-on-crime resolution. He said the resolution sounds good but questioned whether it was workable. He said it applies vaguely to all bills and said any resolution should apply to individual bills. L. Lou Filipovich, 15376 Laverne Drive, spoke regarding the retrofit. He said the City is in debt due to bonds which cost $2 million a year for 30-40 years. He said the resolution regarding Westcoast Video should say the "taxpayers'" share of personal property tax. He said the Minutes are vague and inconsistent. He said a right-turn lane should be put in on Merced at Fairway because traffic now backs up there. 6.
