FINANCIAL STATEMENT There will be no significant fiscal impact for the City as a result of initiating the Task Force and the Council Subcommittee as support for these entities will be provided by City staff members. BACKGROUND Following the direction received from the City Council at its May 15, 2012 meeting, staff initiated recruitment for the ad hoc East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force. Recruitment consisted of: notices on multiple dates in the Pleasanton Weekly, The Independent, The Valley Times, and the Tri-Valley Herald; an item on the front page of the City's website; an item in PleasantonPatch.com and a press release to the local media outlets. No nomination was received from the Stoneridge Park neighborhood, and a subsequent mailing to the neighborhood did not yield any applications. A second mailing directly to the residents of the Stoneridge Park neighborhood is currently in process. A nomination will be provided to the City Council at a later date for review and ratification. TASK FORCE DESIGNEES At its May 23rd meeting, the Planning Commission designated Commissioners Jennifer Pearce and Kathy Narum to participate on the Task Force. The Parks and Recreation Commission designated Brad Hott le at its June 14th meeting. The Housing Commission designated John Casey at its meeting on June 215`. The active homeowners associations (Ironwood, The Village at Ironwood, and Danbury Park) all provided nominees, and applications were received from the Autumn Glen/Heritage Valley neighborhood and the Mohr/Martin neighborhood. The two major property owners and Zone 7 Water Agency also provided nominees. These designees, as well as City Council designees, are listed above, pending confirmation by the City Council. TASK FORCE ALTERNATES The May 15th City Council agenda report stated task force members may select alternates to attend meetings in their absence. The Parks and Recreation Commission selected Jack Balch as its alternate. The Housing Commission selected Joseph Butler as its alternate. An alternate would adhere to the same roles and responsibilities as a Task Force member and would be invited to attend a task-force meeting if the applicable representative were unavailable to attend. In the Task Force members' absence, the alternate would be able to provide input and recommendations in the same manner as other task force members. TASK FORCE ROLE Preparation of the East Pleasanton Specific Plan is likely to take at least 18 months. The first meeting of the East Pleasanton Task Force is scheduled for August 2, with Page 2 of 3
