NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion of Measure WW Funding - (Discussion/Action Item) Chair Ogden opened the discussion for the speakers. Dorothy Freeman, Alameda resident and Estuary Park representative, stated that the Estuary Park Committee has come before the Recreation & Park Commission before to discuss the need for funds to develop/purchase Estuary Park. At that time the Commission told the Estuary Park Committee that the projects on the Measure WW list were so important that they had to come first. Now we go to the City Council Meeting and find out that the Measure WW project list is not so important and that we have to spend funds on the Alameda Boys & Girls Club. Nobody is at this meeting to say anything against the Alameda Boys & Girls Club, but they are a private organization and our parks need the funds. There are parks all over this State that are crying for money. The Council has no business even considering giving this money to a private organization when this money was voted for by the people to serve all of our citizens.
