CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO. 01-033 WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, RESOLUTION POSTPONING UNTIL OCTOBER 11, 2001 THE PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED SPECIAL ELECTION REGARDING THE HAPPY VALLEY ANNEXATION on September 15, 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 98-128 initiating an annexation application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for an 811 +/- acre area of unincorporated territory located south of Sycamore Road, east of the Rosepointe and Carriage Gardens neighborhoods, west of Foley Ranch, and north of Koopman Ranch; and on March 11, 1999, LAFCo adopted its Resolutions Numbers 99-01 and 99-02, approving the proposed annexation of territory known as "Happy Valley" as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and LAFCo affirmed its decision at its meeting of May 13, 1999; and on July 20, 1999, and July 29, 1999, the City Council held public hearings on the annexation and written protests were filed by at least 25% (but less than 50 %) of the registered voters residing in the affected territory. This required that a special election be held to confirm the annexation, and the City Council then set the election for November 16, 1999; and at its November 2, 1999 meeting, the Council adopted Resolution No. 99-132, delaying the special election until March 24, 2000 because of uncertainty regarding the Federal and State environmental permits for the proposed municipal golf course in the Happy Valley area; and the special election was then continued three additional times due to continued uncertainty about the permit process; and the on-going effort to obtain Federal and State environmental permits for the project is nearly completed; and additional time is needed to update cost estimates and complete annexation processing.
