Public Comment <br /> <br />Kay Ayala asked that the City Attorney update the community on the hearing which will be held this <br />week by the Appeals Court. <br /> <br />Mr. Roush noted there are oral arguments scheduled for Thursday morning in the First District <br />Court of Appeals in San Francisco. A three-judge panel will hear arguments concerning the <br />decision rendered in the trial court regarding the validity of the Referendum petition for the Lin/Oak <br />Grove project and issue a decision within 90 days. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala said the ordinance passed last November takes care of hillside protections, the hearing is <br />the final part of the issue and she was glad the hearing was set. She hoped the project will return to <br />the Council with hillside protections in place and that the decision can either be rescinded or sent to <br />the ballot. She voiced concern with a new flyer sent to a select group of residents which reads, “To <br />help us make the new community at Lund Ranch the best it can be. <br /> <br />Ted Kaye, Las Positas College Foundation, invited the City Council to the First Annual Los Positas <br />College Leadership Day and discussed the day’s events. He said all Tri-Valley mayors have agreed <br />to be honorary chairs and formal invitations will be sent out soon. <br /> <br /> <br />City Council Minutes Page 3 of 13 June 16, 2009 <br /> <br /> <br />
