Councilmember Brandes and Vice Mayor Mohr presented a brief review of their meetings with Supervisor Excell regarding the new facility at Santa Rita Prison. No agreement has been reached on this matter and it is not yet before the Board of Supervisors. Councilmember Brandes indicated his desire to have the facility moved as far north as possible, perhaps up to 8th Street and that as new buildings are built, the old ones will be razed simultaneously so as not to increase the prison population. Vice Mayor Mohr also indicated her concern regarding the construction of the Hayward pre-trial holding facility and wanted the Board of Supervisors to give some kind of guarantee that they will go ahead with its completion. Councilmember Wood also indicated his concern regarding the release and transportation system and would like to impose a con- dition that prisoners would be released in Oakland or Hayward. Following additional discussion, Council determined that Supervisor Excell had offered nothing new in his letter and, as such, there are no mitigations for the concerns over which the Council felt an Environmental Impact Report was necessary. Without some mitigation measures Council still felt an EIR should be prepared. Councilmember Wood suggested that Council should put $200.00 into a Secret Witness fund in order to apprehend the vandals who destroyed the trees in the Val Vista area. Councilmember Brandes indicated suggestions from the Police Chief should be solicited regarding how to pursue such a program. Councilmember Mercer stated that if Council is going to put up money regarding the Val Vista vandals, it should also put in $200.00 to find out who was responsible for putting "KKK" on a black family's garage door. It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Councilmember liercer, that Resolution No. 82-210, establishing a Secret Witness Program and allocating $200.00 to be used regarding the vandalism in Val Vista, and $200.00 be used regarding the "KKK" incident, be adopted.
