Subject: FW: Speakers at city council meetings =. ' ` ' ="-'f �"AL MATERIAL <br /> 'lrovided to the City Council <br /> vter' Oistribution of Packet <br /> From: Patricia Baptiste [] r <br /> Sent:Tuesday, June 16, 2015 4:38 PM Date / <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> Subject: Speakers at city council meetings <br /> Hello, <br /> We are concerned that a council member who recuses himself from items that the council is discussing and voting on is still allowed to <br /> speak in council chambers and address the other members in a public forum on the recused subject. Mr Olsen supposedly put on his <br /> "citizen's hat"and addressed the council regarding the East side plan. He is an elected official who recused himself from discussing <br /> this plan with the council. Even if he is on the other side of the podium. he is still viewed as an elected public servant, and therefore <br /> should not be allowed to speak about an issue that he excused himself from public comment.This is an example of the thinly veiled <br /> advocacy of this project by the majority of council members and staff that the citizens of Pleasanton overwhelmingly are opposed to. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> John and Patricia Baptiste <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> 1 <br />
