Subject FW: Date Correction -June 2: East Pleasanton back oony Counc l a AcnmTw night SUPPLEMENTAL Provided to the City Council After Distribution of Packet Original Message / From: Mohtashim Naveed [] Date . 6 �Z ZCiS Sent: Monday,June 01,2015 3:19 PM To: Mayor and City Council Subject: Fwd: Date Correction -June 2: East Pleasanton back on City Council's agenda tomorrow night Hi, I am a 15 year resident of Pleasanton and I am extremely concerned by the way EPSP is being handled.As our elected leadership you are expected to execute upon the will of your constituents.A vast majority of your constituents are concerned that rushing decisions tomorrow night could lead to the Council backtracking on the decision to take it to the voters, or rush it though in a way that puts an expensive and less than clear measure on the November ballot. There is no logic in the Council planning to vote on ballot language for the November ballot without knowing what the EPSP Task Force is going to recommend in the way of number of houses to be built. It makes no sense to us to vote on ballot language without knowing what the Task Force's recommended number of homes will be. We would prefer that the Council does the rational and logic thing and Halt the East Pleasanton Specific Plan EIR process for now per their vote at the last meeting;they should ask the EPSP Task Force to finalize their recommended plan and present it to the City Council; and finally they should schedule the ballot measure for March or June of 2016 to drastically reduce the cost of the vote, and let the people make the decision on whether or not East Pleasanton is re- zoned for massive development Thank you Mohtashim Naveed ---Forwarded message From: Pleasanton Voters<pleasantonvoters @comcast.net> Date: Mon,Jun 1,2015 at 2:44 PM Subject: Date Correction -June 2: East Pleasanton back on City Council's agenda tomorrow night Having trouble viewing this email?www.pleasantonvoters.com From your fellow Pleasanton residents who are concerned about plans for massive development in East Pleasanton June 1, 2015 East Pleasanton back on City Council Agenda Tomorrow Night- Tuesday,June 2,7:00pm City Council Chambers 6/1/2015 UPDATE: ALERT:After voting at their last meeting to let the voters weigh in on the future of the EPSP planning process,the City Council is slated to vote on ballot language at tomorrow night's meeting. Staff is presenting four different ballot language alternatives for the Council to consider for use,and the Council may consider reversing their decision and taking it OFF the ballot.This may be far from a straightforward meeting for the following reasons: Staff has determined that placing this on the November ballot could cost the city between nearly$500,000 to over $600,000. Delaying the ballot to March or June, 2016 would significantly reduce the costs and potentially allow for the drafting of a more clear, balanced and complete wording of the issues to be voted on. The way it is scheduled,the Council is planning to vote on ballot language for the November ballot without knowing what the EPSP Task Force is going to recommend in the way of number of houses to be built. It makes no sense to us to vote on ballot language without knowing what the Task Force's recommended number of homes will be. While we support voters making decisions about the future of East Pleasanton, we are concerned that rushing decisions tomorrow night could lead to the Council backtracking on the decision to take it to the voters,or rush it though in a way that puts an expensive and less than clear measure on the November ballot. Please take the time to write to the Council today letting them know that you would prefer doing this right: 1
