Commissioner Narum commented that the revenue from Hacienda would pay for the Bernal bridge. Vice Chair Pearce agreed, adding that it was her understanding that there is no funding for that bridge. Vice Chair Pearce stated that she also really liked the idea proposed by Commissioner Olson of making sure that the East Pleasanton Specific Plan and the Historic Preservation Task Forces be kept on the list to re-emphasize the Commission's commitment to those processes. Commissioners Narum and Olson agreed. Commissioner Posson noted that staff provided the details on the Climate Action Plan as well as the tables for the short-term, mid-term, and long-term items. He indicated that he thinks TR1-11, the Transit System Master Plan, is indicative of some of the major planning items. He noted that the thinking of the Energy and Environment Committee and the feedback it got from the community during the Climate Action Plan was that if the City is to achieve the targets to meet the State mandate, the transit corridors will have to be addressed, which is the main reason why that Transit System Master Plan was placed in there. He added that this is long-term, 2013/2014, but there are a number of other items in the Climate Action Plan that are planning-oriented as well. He proposed that this be included as one of the priorities. Commissioner O'Connor stated that the Commission received more documents than he had expected and he did not get the chance to go get through it all. He noted that the there are a lot of details on some of the Climate Action Plan items. He inquired what the timeframe was to get the information back to the Council. Mr. Dolan replied that staff prefers to have it as soon as possible. He noted that the Council's Priorities Workshop is on March 25, 2013, so the Commission could go another meeting if it wanted to. Commissioner Narum stated that she is not sure she wants to do that because she thinks the agenda would be pretty full with all these items that have been continued. Vice Chair Pearce noted that the other question is whether the Commission wants Chair Blank to be present for the discussion. She indicated that given Commissioner O'Connor's point, which is well-taken, and the fact that Chair Blank is absent, she can put off the item one more time. She asked if the Commission supports doing that. Commissioner O'Connor noted that Mike Tassano, City Traffic Engineer, also has several pages, which he has not had a chance to review as well. Vice Chair Pearce noted that Mr. Tassano did a great job, putting together a six-page memo under duress. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, February 27, 2013 Page 20 of 22
