Mayor Spencer requested the following changes to the PSA: page 18 paragraph 14.1: replace the word "goal", with the word "hire"; the reference of "an Alameda High School graduate," add some mention that a student living in Alameda with a GED would count towards the goal; more priority should not be given to the graduate as opposed to an Alameda resident who drops out and obtains a GED; residents that live in Alameda no matter where they go to school should also be included. The City Manager stated the Council can direct the changes be made. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how Mayor Spencer would propose the changes. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the PSA could be modified or does Council have to accept the PSA as is. Councilmember Oddie inquired if Council is negotiating the provisions.
