Mayor Hosterman stated that she does not want to redesign the plan tonight; she is uncomfortable about specific changes. She would like more of an idea from the Council if there was support for the plans and language as presented in order to go to the voters. Mr. Sullivan suggested that they go directly to straw votes. Ms. McGovern stated she was fine with the language as written; she doesn't want to take any space away from the Meadow. She said there are many people who support open space on this property. Mr. Brozosky asked if the question was to include tennis courts in the illustrative plan. He was not in favor of doing this. Ms McGovern did not support changing the illustrative plan at this time. Mr. Sullivan was in support and he clarified that the courts would not be placed in the Meadow. Mr. Thorne did support the tennis courts, but did not support placing it in the illustrative plan at this time. Mayor Hosterman concurred. Mayor Hosterman asked the Council to comment on the commission's suggestion to have an indoor swimming pool. The Council unanimously did not support the indoor swimming pool. Mr. Brozosky asked if in the future a center, such as a YMCA, wanted to include an indoor swimming pool, is there anything preventing that from occurring. Mr. Fialho responded that there was no restriction. Mayor Hosterman asked the Council to consider adding a dog park to the illustrative plan. The Council unanimously supported no change to the illustrative plan. Mayor Hosterman asked the Council to consider equestrian trails. Ms. McGovern asked if there are there any other areas available for this use. Mr. Rasmussen noted that general consensus has been for this to be west of the freeway, in conjunction with other trails. Mr. McGovern asked if this trail would eventually meet up with regional trails? Mr. Rasmussen noted that his belief was that the trails would connect. Pleasanton City Council 11 05/16/06 Minutes
