comments to five minutes. Further, she requested that the Commission conduct the meeting such as the City Council, and that a motion and a second be presented and then there be discussion by the Commission members, to expedite the meeting. Mr. Higdon introduced Phil Grubstick, the Assistant Director of Public Works and City Engineer. 3. MEETING OPEN FOR ANY MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE TO ADDRESS THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON ANY ITEM WHICH IS NOT ALREADY ON THE AGENDA Robert Cordtz, 262 West Angela Street, inquired whether the Phoebe Apperson Hearst school property has been annexed to the City. Mr. Plucker noted that staff will examine the issue and provide an answer to Mr. Cordtz. Further, Mr. Cordtz inquired if annexation hasn't been conducted, would there be more nuclear testing on the school district property. Chairperson Roberts noted that the school district is an independent body and that all information discussed relative to the San Francisco Bemal property was in relation to all the parts except the school property. Mr. Cordtz inquired whether the school district could build on contaminated land. Mr. Swift noted that the property is in the County, the school board authorized proceeding; however, radionuclides studies are being performed and those have been ongoing since the project has been graded. Mr. Swift noted he has not seen the final report; however, the next phase has begun, and that they found to date no evidence of any radionuclides on the property. Mr. Cordtz provided a memorandum to the Commission and expressed concern with the noise coming from the Fairground, which has been discussed many times before. Further, that the City of Pleasanton has no control over issues at the Fairground. He requested that staff examine issues relating to issues at the Fairgrounds. Mr. Cordtz noted that the memorandum handed out to the Commission referenced the fact that the Fairground dumped E. coli in the fair water and that on July 5, 1999 there was a spill from the Fairground going over onto the San Francisco water land. He noted that Alameda County still has not resolved this issue. Further, that animal defecation is ending up in the creek and that no action has been taken. He noted that a communication should be sent to the Fairgrounds that they are not performing their job. Ms. Seto noted that Brian Lorimer, Water Source Control Agent, has been working with staff from the Fairgrounds and with the County Public Health Department regarding this matter. She noted that the City has been trying to facilitate meetings with the various agencies; however, since this property is outside the City's jurisdiction, the City has no other jurisdiction. Mr. Cordtz requested that the Council examine this issue. Eric Otis Nostrand, Vista Diablo Court, commented on a letter to the editor from Commissioner Kumaran stating that the CAPP folks raised a haifa million dollars since it was a pubic forum. He requested that Commissioner Kumaran work out the numbers. Commissioner Kumaran noted the source of his quote was a letter distributed by one of the founders of CAPP. Mr. Nostrand noted that the CAPP Committee has raised about $8,000. Commissioner Kumaran noted this was a CAPP initiative total and not just for the City Pleasanton and that he had no reason to doubt those figures. 4. REVISIONS AND OMISSIONS TO THE AGENDA Mr. Swift stated that Item 6.e. and 6.f. will be continued to the October 27, 1999, meeting. Planning Commission Minutes October 13, 1999 Page 2
