[ACEDAB] (Regular Council Meeting, September 15, 1992, 92- )
Commissioner Roth noted that the County share of the Program
remained the same while the City had to pay more money.
Bruce Curran, Staff Director for Economic Development Advisory
Board, responded there is no difference; two cities' contributions
were not received at time of close of books; all public sector
contributions are frozen under the four -year agreement; noted first
year expenditures included many one - time -only start -up
expenditures; significant problems are ahead, e.g., regulatory
issues, but more businesses are noting their relocation to Alameda
County because of the new joint organized effort; the local joint
program has been identified as probably the most exemplary in
California to bring together business, labor, environmental, public
sector servants, to work on difficult efforts.

seconded the motion which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
