MOTION: It was m/s by Cook-Kallio/Narum to waive full reading and adopt the Resolution No. <br /> 14-708 approving the Gateway Monument Sign. Motion passed by the following vote: <br /> AYES: Councilmembers Brown, Cook-Kallio, Narum, Pentin, Mayor Thome <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: None <br /> MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL <br /> Councilmember Narum requested and received Council support to look into the issue of hobby <br /> beekeeping. <br /> Mr. Fialho said staff would prepare a memo for the Council's review. <br /> Councilmember Brown expressed concern over what encouraging bees in an R-1 district could mean <br /> to those with severe allergies to bee stings. <br /> Councilmember Cook-Kallio said she had similar concerns with the hive that was located in her yard <br /> but learned that bees do not drop back down below the fence line until they return to their hive. She <br /> thought information that might dispel or cement of the concerns associated with bees would be <br /> particularly helpful. <br /> COUNCIL REPORTS <br /> Councilmember Narum reported that she and Councilmember Brown attended a meeting with Zone 7 <br /> and other local water retailers. Zone 7 shared projections for 2015, which indicate but of course do not <br /> ensure that they will be able to provide 88% of the supply next year. A small roundtable discussion is <br /> scheduled for September 22, 2014 to hopefully identify both short and long-term strategies for the <br /> region's water supply. Zone 7 was very clear in that it views the Delta tunnels as its long-term strategy <br /> but there did not seem to a strong sense of agreement among the retailers. <br /> Councilmember Brown added that Zone 7 seemed fairly optimistic about the future, though they <br /> indicated that 2015 projections were conservative. She said they would also be inviting all Tri-Valley <br /> cities to a sit down to see what sort of regional strategies and responses to the issue can be <br /> developed. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned a 10:59 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 /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Karen Diaz <br /> City Clerk <br /> City Council Minutes Page 17 of 17 September 2, 2014 <br />
