Subject: FW: Regarding tomorrow's city council meeting (6‘.-2 MATERIAL <br /> Provided to the City Council <br /> From: Anthony 7jon After Distribution of Packet <br /> Sent: Monday, June 01, 2015 5:55 PM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council Date <br /> Subject: Regarding tomorrow's city council meeting (6/2/2015) <br /> Dear Pleasanton City Council Member, <br /> I attended several city council meetings regarding East Pleasanton development plan. As the result of May <br /> 19th meeting, city council agreed to put the development plan to the ballot to let the voters decide whether <br /> to continue with the development. <br /> I heard that placing this on the November ballot could cost the city between nearly$500,000 to over <br /> $600,000. Delaying the ballot to March or June, 2016 would significantly reduce the costs and potentially <br /> allow for the drafting of a more clear, balanced and complete wording of the issues to be voted on. <br /> While I strongly support voters making decisions about the future of East Pleasanton, I am concerned that <br /> rushing decisions tomorrow night could lead though in a way that puts an expensive and less than clear <br /> measure on the November ballot. <br /> Here is the way I support: <br /> 1.Halt the East Pleasanton Specific Plan EIR process for now per your vote at the last meeting <br /> 2.Ask the EPSP Task Force to finalize their recommended plan and present it to the City Council <br /> 3.Schedule the ballot measure for March or June of 2016 to drastically reduce the cost of the vote, and let the <br /> people make the decision on whether or not East Pleasanton is re-zoned for massive development <br /> Thanks so much for your time and support. <br /> Best Regards, <br /> Anthony Tjon <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> 1 <br />
