replacement. He added that more than likely, they will have additional ambassadors, particularly at peak times when they may have two ambassadors. Commissioner Blank indicated that he just wanted to make sure it is really clear on the public record that it has been discussed with the applicant that if the monitor calls in sick and the replacement cannot get there right away for whatever reason, during that waiting period, the station will be closed. He stated that he wanted to hear Mr. Gomes' "yes" on the record. Mr. Gomes said yes Commissioner O'Connor noted that the staff report states that if someone is needed outside for queuing, an additional staff would be pulled from the store. He inquired if it is the store's intent to have people working in the store trained for the gas station as well. Mr. Gomes replied that more than likely, it would be the store manager or assistant manager who would go out to the fuel center. He indicated that they have a union contract so they cannot just take any employees from one department and move them to another department, as per the union contract, employees have certain job duties they have to do for which they get paid. Commissioner Blank inquired if these managers will have received the training. Mr. Gomes replied that all managers get all the training that all the employees get; while it is not as focused as what the employees receive, the managers need to be aware of what is safe and what is not for all their employees. Commissioner O'Connor commented that he has had the same issues at Costco where the person who is out there sometimes just does not seem to be focused on the job. He noted, however, that at both the Livermore Safeway and the Dublin Safeway, he has never had an issue; the people are moving, so he believes the training is obviously working. Chair Pentin noted that on the additional sheet provided on the preliminary kiosk exterior elevations alternate, trellises have been added. He inquired if there are plans to add any landscape to those trellises. Mr. Gomes said yes, and they would be a vine similar to what is on the store now. Scott Trobbe, South Bay Development Company, stated that he wanted to reinforce that when they brought this project to the Commission a couple of years ago, they had indicated that they were going to stay involved, and as a property owner next door, they have stayed involved. He stated that they have been fully aware of the progress of the fuel station and wanted to provide some kind of big picture information that needs to be revisited for a moment.
