Mayor Hosterman reported that the community lost another very important person when Janet Liang, <br /> 25, lost her long battle with leukemia after receiving a bone marrow transplant. She asked the <br /> community to reach out and offer whatever financial assistance they are able to Ms. Liang's family who <br /> took on significant debt to support her lengthy treatment. She directed them to "Team Janet," which can <br /> be found on Facebook or through a basic Google search. <br /> Councilmember McGovern requested a preview of upcoming agendas. Mr. Fialho stated that the first <br /> meeting in October would include proposed certification of the City's Housing Element upon adoption of <br /> several minor amendments proposed by the State. The second item on that agenda relates to <br /> Pleasanton Garbage Service rates and an authorization for staff to proceed with a commercial recycling <br /> program. For the second meeting in October, staff intends to advance the new growth management <br /> ordinance. <br /> Councilmember McGovern asked when the new Council would be seated. Mr. Fialho said potentially <br /> the first meeting in December. He noted there would be no Council meeting on election night, as has <br /> been Council practice in recent years. <br /> Councilmember McGovern asked and Mr. Fialho confirmed that a second November meeting could be <br /> added to cover additional topics of significant importance to departing Councilmembers. She also <br /> suggested that additional items could be added to the first October meeting, as the Housing Element <br /> has been reviewed at length and should not take considerable time. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan said he had several items of interest including Measures PP & QQ as well as <br /> the definition of "slope." Mr. Fialho noted the Council has also asked staff to look into the peace <br /> commission matter, which is tentatively planned for the first October meeting, and that Kottinger may <br /> come forward in October depending on the Planning Commission's action tomorrow night. <br /> COUNCIL REPORTS: None <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:57 p.m. The Council extended a <br /> tribute to our nation's men and women serving in the military. We wish to honor the memories of those <br /> who have died in past wars in defense of our country, including those who have died in the current <br /> conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. <br /> Reap- tfully s •miffed, <br /> Kare Diaz <br /> City Clerk <br /> City Council Minutes Page 6 of 6 September 18, 2012 <br />
