Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - November 7, 1994 Page - 9 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) B. Resolution No. 94-206, Resolution Approving License Agreement with Safeway Stores, Inc. (provides for use of Parking Authority property [a portion of APN 75-226-10] for a trash enclosure) . Introduced by Council Member Galvan, who moved its adoption, seconded by Council Member Myers, and carried by a majority vote (7) . C. Matter of Appointing Members to the Economic Development Advisory Committee. Mayor Corbett said this matter was before the City Council as a result of concerns regarding moving the process forward. She said her memo was sent to the City Council to expedite the process, but City Council members have asked for additional time. She suggested that a subcommittee meeting be set for November 17 and requested that Council Members submit additional names by that date so the subcommittee could make recommendations for full City Council review and approval . She noted the subcommittee consists of herself and Council Members Galvan and Loeffler. Council Member Perry said she was concerned that the process was cumbersome. She said a balance should try to be achieved between major businesses, large retail and small businesses, and she understood that the subcommittee would come back with a process and then make recommendations regarding names. She said she did not feel there was a time constraint, and it would be better to have a good process that would meet the future economic needs of the City. Council Member Kerr said he was also confused regarding the process and was concerned that there would be as many as 175 names submitted. He said the subcommittee should develop a process of elimination and specific names for City Council consideration. Council Member Myers agreed with the other Council Members. He said this matter is important and should be moved on as soon as possible, but the committee should meet and come back to the City Council with information regarding a format to discuss at a Work Session. Council Member Perry said she was concerned that a broad spectrum and a process for self-nomination be included in the process. Mayor Corbett asked the Council Members to submit any particular names as soon as possible. Council Member Loeffler said the proposal was for a committee of nine and asked if the committee could be greater.
