Presentation of a Commendation to Cameron Huber for her work on behalf of Wreaths Across Pleasanton Councilmember Pentin invited Cameron Huber to be recognized and David Hamm to the podium to explain about the Wreaths Across Pleasanton program supporting the military. 12. Public Comment Vice Mayor Narum opened public comments. Allen Roberts wanted to clear up various misconceptions regarding the Lund Ranch referendum. It was reported in newspapers that Mayor Thorne stated the issue was just about traffic between two neighborhoods. He contradicted this, stating that except for one, all original supporters of Measure PP are supporting the referendum, and also named supporters of the current referendum. He stated "Kay" feels beholden to Ventana, even lending her name to the developer, and presenting the choice as between "more traffic" or Measure PP. The proponents of the referendum do not want more traffic, they want harmony in both neighborhoods and Measure PP adhered to. Bruce Fiedler expressed support for the Council confirming a vote to promote a healthy smoke- free environment downtown and working on language to extend a smoke-free environment to multi-family housing residents throughout Pleasanton. He mentioned HUD policies that will apply to the entire country and that today is last day for comments on the HUD matter. In addition, privately owned single family residences which receive federal subsidies must also follow smoke- free guidelines. Citywide ordinances have been adopted in other areas with good effect and a minimum amount of fuss. He noted that 88% of adults in the county do not smoke. In closing, he stated that low-income residents who smoke who are not able to move also impact low-income non-smoking residents who cannot afford to move. Kevin Comerford, representing "Service Champions," requested that Council reconsider the idea of the Johnson Drive economic development zoning which would allow Costco to come into town.
