MINUTES CITY OF PLEASANTON REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING February 16, 2010 CALL TO ORDER Mayor Hosterman called the regular meeting to order at the hour of 7:00 p.m. Councilmember Cook Kallio led the Pledge of Allegiance and provided the introductory remarks. ROLL CALL Present: Councilmembers Cook Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman Absent: None CLOSED SESSION REPORT City Attorney Jonathan Lowell reported that the Council met in Closed Session on 2 items. On the first item, regarding existing litigation, the Council took no reportable action but will consider the matter further under regular Agenda Item 11. The Council also met to discuss written communication received from the Lin's legal counsel regarding removal of the poison pill provision from Ordinance No. 1962. Should Ordinance No. 1961 be set aside by referendum, the provision would invalidate Ordinance No. 1962 which adopted the Oak Grove Development Agreement. It was m/s by McGovern /Sullivan and passed 4 -1 to leave the poison pill provision in both ordinances. Cook Kallio voted no. Councilmember Cook Kallio stated that she understood litigation concerns but her vote is consistent with her original position, opposing the poison pill provision, when the matter came before the Council in October 2007. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC 10. Pleasanton Library Newcott Caldebery Young Authors' Acknowledgment Councilmember Cook Kallio introduced Pleasanton Library Children's Librarian Sandy Silva. Ms. Silva provided background on the Newcott Caldebery Young Authors and Illustrators and introduced this year's participants. AGENDA AMENDMENTS Councilmember Sullivan requested continuance of Item 11, stating that Closed Session did not provide him with the information necessary to form a sound decision. He requested that information of staff during Closed Session and said he, as well as the rest of the Council, should have an opportunity to review it before moving forward. He said that information would largely influence whatever decision is made and, with respect to the constraints imposed by Closed Session, requested the same information be presented to the public to the extent possible. Councilmember McGovern supported the request, noting she asked for the same information.
