Commissioner Robbins giving a great speech on how we just don't pay enough in taxes as Alamedans. Our schools are underfunded, our parks are underfunded. We just have to pay more taxes.

Preach it!

Commisioner Burney (I can see the name tag!) asking what the difference is between high and medium priority.

A: A low priority wouldn't be worked on at all. [Dang, what was listed as low???]

Soil management plan now covers the whole of Jean Sweeny Park. (DTSC)

Q: what's the relationship between the aquatic center building and the garden funding? They have been separated to preserve garden funding. Coming out of the unallocated park funds.

Q: do trails have to be done first?

garden builds off it (is that a yes?)
