Rotary's dedication of the community clock on <br /> April 30th, coupled with the city's efforts, have made for a very nice entry to the downtown area.

Consider adoption of a resolution to stop the East Pleasanton Specific Plan (EPSP) planning and <br /> environmental review process, have EPSP process considered as part of the next City Council <br /> regular Priority Setting, and stop work by EPSP Task Force and thank and disband Task Force; or <br /> other actions as previously considered related to the EPSP process <br /> Councilmember Olson recused himself from the item due to a conflict of interest and left the Council <br /> Chamber. <br /> Assistant City Manager Dolan presented the staff report, stating that at its last meeting the City Council <br /> asked staff to prepare a resolution related to ceasing the East Pleasanton Specific Plan process. As <br /> proposed, the resolution states that the planning process and preparation of the Environmental Impact <br /> Report (EIR) would halt, that the task force would be thanked for its work and then disbanded, and that <br /> any future decisions regarding resuming the process would be considered as part of a regular City <br /> Council priority setting session at such time the Council felt it was appropriate. If adopted, staff would <br /> remove this task from the Council's Work Plan priority list for the coming 2 years. <br /> Vice Mayor Brown asked and Mr. Dolan confirmed that removing the item from the Work Plan would <br /> alleviate staff time. <br /> Mayor Thome opened the item for public comment. <br /> Knut Ojermark said his concerns with the current plan related to traffic, schools and water impacts and <br /> that he feels no water should be given to new development when resources are so limited. He said he <br /> was pleased to learn nothing more would occur with the plan for at least 2 years. <br /> Kay Ayala said she hoped any future consideration of resuming the process would be done publicly. <br /> She also offered her assistance with pursuing some form of relief from the state with regards to housing <br /> allocations. <br /> City Council Minutes Page 3 of 18 June 16,2015 <br />
