WARTENBE DISTRICT 5 Introduced by Council Member Corbett, who moved its adoption, seconded by Council Member Glaze, and carried by the following called vote: AYES: Council Members Corbett, Faria, Glaze, Perry, Polvorosa, Santos; Mayor Karp ( 7 ) NOES: None ( 0 ) ABSENT: None ( 0 ) J. Matter of Mayor's Blue Ribbon Finance Committee. Mayor Karp said that, at the March 2, 1992, City Council Meeting, the City Council had tabled the matter of forming a Mayor's Blue Ribbon Finance Committee so they would have time to digest the proposed representation and procedures and processes of the committee. He said he was bringing this matter up now because he felt time was of the essence. He said preparation of the City budget is in process and the budget is being formulated. He said he feels the message was loud and clear from the coalition that opposed the Financial Plan that they would like to be included in the budget process, and he feels to exclude their ideas and recommendations would be a disservice to the community. He said he has striven during his six years as Mayor to include all facets of the community in all decisions and in working together. He said the City Council receives recommendations from the community on all other phases of government, and budgets should not be any different. He said almost 6,500 people signed a referendum that sent the City Council a message, and it is now important to hear the message that the people of San Leandro want to be a part of the financial process of the City, and he asked that this matter be removed from the table. Council Member Perry said she had given the City Manager information regarding a pilot project and she wished to receive feedback on that information and what the composition of any committee should be. No further action was taken on this matter.
