CALL TO ORDER 2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG 3. ROLL CALL PRESENT: Council Members Corbett, Faria, Glaze, Perry, Polvorosa, Santos; Mayor Karp ABSENT: None 4. PRESENTATIONS None 5. PUBLIC COMMENTS A. Barbara Tierney, 3965 Mission Way, spoke regarding the Northern California Philharmonic Orchestra. She noted the Orchestra no longer has San Leandro in the name. She said several years ago the maestro and several other representatives of the Orchestra asked for non- financial support from the City to bring culture to San Leandro. She said, at that time, they said the name San Leandro would always be part of the name of the Orchestra. She said, with funding tight, she feels the money which the City gives to the Orchestra should be used for other purposes. Mayor Karp said her statements regarding the name of the Orchestra were correct, and without the word San Leandro in the name, the Orchestra has lost its identity. B. Bob Leigh, 1388 Drake, Representing San Leandrans for Responsible Government, said they presented the City Clerk with signatures asking that the City Council repeal the Ordinance related to the Assessment Districts or submit the matter to the voters. He said the signatures were gathered over a four-week period of time following the urgency adoption of the Ordinance. He discussed the various groups and citizens who had participated in the signature-collecting process and thanked them for their hard work. He said he felt the number of signatures represented only part of the people of San Leandro who were in opposition to the Ordinance. He asked the City Council to respond to the petitions by bringing the residents in the community back together to solve San Leandro's problems.
