Presentation of a Proclamation recognizing March 2016 as American Red Cross Month <br />13. Public Comment <br />Carrie Cox spoke regarding the Pleasanton community and read from its descriptions on Wikipedia, <br />citing its small town flavor and noting that it was ranked as the 41 best American city to live in. She <br />inquired whether in 2018 Pleasanton would be described as having a small town flavor and continue <br />being one of America's best cities to live in. She expressed concern over the decision about Costco <br />being about tax dollars or being about the will of the constituents. On February 24, 2016, one of her <br />customers said she hoped the Council takes their side. Even though Nearon said, "It's a done deal," <br />she hopes that it is not a "done deal" and that the Council will do what is best for the residents. <br />Carl Cox knows that the Council cares about the City of Pleasanton and the decision about Costco.

The numbers are staggering, but there are two other <br />factors which were mentioned in the SEIR report: pollution and air quality. These will be unacceptable <br />according to City guidelines and unavoidable. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District, on <br />October 26, 2015, analyzed the Costco proposal and their recommendation was to prohibit vehicles <br />City Council Minutes Page 2 of 10 March 1, 2016 <br />
