Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - December 7, 1992 Page - 11 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) Steve Meyers said any violations of the Conditions would be handled in the same way as any other Conditional Use; Community Standards would investigate and request compliance. If the violations continue, the City could institute proceedings to revoke the Conditional Use or file an action in court. He said the only difference in this Permit will be the automatic review every two years, instead of on a complaint basis only. 9. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS A. Mayor Karp read a letter from Mario Polvorosa, former Vice Mayor of the City, announcing his retirement from his shoe repair business. He also noted the recent newspaper article by Rita Resare about Mr. Polvorosa. He noted Mr. Polvorosa's great contributions to the community over the years. He said many people of stature have stopped by Mr. Polvorosa's shop for a shoe shine and conversation, including Admiral Nimitz, Truman and Kennedy. He said Norman Mineta, Chairman of Public Works of the House, recently sent his regards to Mr. Polvorosa. He said losing the shop is like losing your right arm because you could always count on Mario for advice or to tell you what he didn't like. He said this is a sad day. B. Council Member Myers said he agreed with Mayor Karp' s comments and was sad to see Mr. Polvorosa retire. C. Council Member Myers noted the upcoming Cable TV increase.

Council Member Myers noted that Macy's, Kraft, the San Leandro Optimists and Cherry City Cyclists have all donated to the City's Police Bicycle Patrol . F. Council Member Corbett said Mr. Polvorosa was quite a fixture in town. She said she knows he will still be seen around town and will always have a smile and a hello for everyone. ' G. Council Member Kerr said he received a suggestion from Chuck Plante that the City print the City Newsletter in the San Leandro Times instead of printing it separately. H.
