-ON BEHALF OF COUNCIL PRESIDENT LESNICK AND COUNCILWOMAN MCDOW—
Please be advised that the Real Estate Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 26 is expected to be extremely brief for the following reasons:
(Item 1) We had reserved space to discuss the Demolition Review Ordinance; however we are still circulating language changes. In addition Councilman Murtagh, a sponsor of the legislation will be unavailable at that time.
(Item 2) There is no opposition to the long house sewer connection at 393 Fox Avenue by the local councilman and no one else on the Council, so we will vote this item on.
(Item 3) We had reserved space for an update on the review of the SFC Project by the Lead Agency. The City Council's consultants have been reviewing the re-submitted Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement (pDEIS) that SFC delivered on February 5, 2008. The review is to determine whether the revised document adequately addressed the Council's October 22, 2007 review which contained 460+ comments on the initial submission. The current review is to determine whether the pDEIS is complete and adequate to commence its public review. At this time, the Council's review indicates that there are numerous open issues that need further detailing, and the Council has instructed its consultants to immediately meet with SFC's consulting team to review these open items so that the pDEIS can be deemed complete and ready for public review. The SFC consultant team has agreed to meet with the Council's consultants beginning on Wednesday morning, February 27. The Council's consultants will brief the Real Estate Committee next Tuesday, March 4th on its progress.
Thank you,
Chuck Lesnick Council President, Co-chair
Patricia D. McDow Councilmember, Co-chair
