Commissioner Pearce stated that she sees hidden homeless people in Pleasanton all the time, and she is glad to have this important service in the City. Chair Blank stated for those who came this evening to give public testimony that some of this is required by State law so it is not something the Commission can just say "no" to. He agreed with Commissioner Pearce that this is important and that there is a need for this. He noted that he sat on the Board of his Homeowners Association and saw some very, very sad things, such as foreclosures, take place over the last four years.
