Summary Of Public Outreach Efforts The City Council created a 35-member Housing Element Advisory Committee, which is intended to include broad representation from the San Leandro community and various housing -related. organizations and agencies. The Committee meetings were regularly posted to the public. Committee attendance varied throughout the process and featured about a 50 percent attendance rate. The City Council's General Pla►, Ad Hoc Committee directed staff in May 2002 to contact committee members who never attended any of the meetings to inform them that if they were not able to attend the June 2002 meetings, that they would not be considered voting members, but could continue to participate. This resulted in the effective reduction of the working committee to 20 members. Staff is planning a community meeting during the summer to solicit community input prior to submitting the Draft Element to the State for its mandated review.
