Trustee Grant added the intent is to do a broad survey of the community and identify set priorities for that and associate a cost structure. It's not intended to find a funding source, with priorities setting a strategy for the funding source. Mr. Grant continued to share different scenarios regarding the different funding mechanisms. Councilmember Pentin said his concern was that people don't always pay attention to the perfect scenario or the desire. Superintendent Ahmadi commented she appreciated his perspective and that's why we've communicated that to the community and we are looking at the levels of scopes to help guide us with our goals and our vision for this district and community. Mr. Newsom added whether when funds are identified we would look at what the community supports, what are the highest priorities are how and when that will be implemented. Councilmember Brown thanked Mr. Newsom for his presentation and clarified n the ten-year span, she's only seeing one additional school. Will the secondary schools be able to take on any additional students coming in? Superintendent Ahmadi commented, "Yes, we believe so. There are 2,600 at one high school and 2,200 at the other site, so we feel that 2,400 is approximately the right number. Mr. Newsom added the FMP identifies the improvements that are anticipated and desired to accommodate that growth. Trustee Arkin referenced the additional scope level on page 24 and clarified it would be discussed at the board meeting tomorrow. President Bowser shared his thoughts on building schools, state funding, PUSD budget cuts and the challenge it brings to the district. He noted the $500M is a high number, however, some of the items are "pie in the sky" items, such as the FHS multi-level parking garage, which won't happen anytime soon. The FMP is a live document, which will hopefully get updated more than once every ten years. 6. EAST PLEASANTON SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE Mr. Nelson Fialho, City Manager introduced the item, which is called the East Pleasanton Study, in an area of the City which historically has been associated with mining operations. Most of the land as been claimed and is geographically East of Busch Road, bordered by 580 and somewhat bordered by El Charro Road to the south. In May 2012 the City Council approved the formation of an 18-member East Pleasanton Specific Plan Task Force, which will soon grow to 19 members and has met five times since August 2012. Mr. Fialho noted there's a "draft" vision statement, which has been reviewed by the Task Force, City Council and he asked for feedback from the district regarding this vision statement as well. Mr. Brian Dolan presented and highlighted the East Pleasanton Specific Plan. The discussion about development and conservation options will be informed by an understanding of the constraints and opportunities presented by this area. He noted that although there are over 1,100 acres, only 400 aren't in zone 7 land and it's not quite as big, as most many believe. There are three lakes left over from the quarries operation, Lake "H" and "I" and Cope Lake, which doesn't have any water source except for runoff. There are two primary land owners, Kiewit Corporation, who owns about 55 acres, the rest is currently owned by Legacy, now called Lionstone. Mr. Dolan highlighted the Process to date and noted there was a copy of the "draft vision statement" within the agenda for review. • Background information gathering Joint City Council and PUSD Board Minutes Page 7 of 11 January 28,2013
