BACKGROUND On February 17, 2015, the City Council approved the formation of an Ad Hoc Committee for the Civic Center Exploration and Review Process. The committee is to have eleven members including Mayor Thorne, Vice Mayor Brown representing the City Council, one member from the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commission, the Youth Commission, the Library Commission, the Economic Vitality Committee, the Pleasanton Downtown Association (PDA), and three at large community members. The group will be known as the Civic Center/Library Facilities Master Plan Task Force. Each of the represented Commissions and Committees, and the PDA have selected their Committee members and an alternate. Staff also initiated the recruitment for the At-large Committee members by advertising the opportunity on multiple dates in the Pleasanton Weekly, on the City's website, and through a press release to all the local newspapers. A total of 19 applications were received by the May 22, 2015, deadline. Each of the three Council members not serving on the Committee have selected one at-large member.
