emphasis on the Historic Preservation Task Force as well as the East Pleasanton <br />Specific Plan Task Force is appropriate. <br />Chair Blank indicated his support 100 percent. <br />Commissioners Olson and Narum agreed. <br />Commissioner O'Connor stated that he wanted to put in only one solid item and did not <br />really think it necessary to have the other two take up slots; however, he is fine with <br />Commissioner Pearce's proposal. <br />Commissioner Pearce stated that she thinks one priority accomplishes everything; <br />however, she wants to re- emphasize that the two Task Forces need to keep going. She <br />indicated that the Commission promised the community that it would not let the two <br />Task Forces languish, not that they would languish, but she wanted to re- emphasize <br />that. <br />Commissioner Pearce moved to make updating the Hacienda PUD documents its <br />main priority and to continue focus on the two Task Forces which were the <br />Commission's prior priorities. <br />Commissioner Olson seconded the motion. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Blank, Narum, O'Connor, Olson, and Pearce. <br />NOES: None. <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br />RECUSED: None. <br />ABSENT: None. <br />Commissioner O'Connor stated that before the Commission moves off of this topic, one <br />item he had brought up was traffic throughout the City. He noted that the Commission <br />had received a report from Mike Tassano, City Traffic Engineer, and he was surprised <br />and somewhat disappointed that it sounds like everything that can be done with the <br />City's traffic systems and software has been done and that traffic signal lights are <br />actually timed. <br />Mr. Dolan stated that the traffic signal timing is a constant and ongoing effort and that <br />staff spends a lot of time on this. He noted that every time changes are made with the <br />timing and somebody likes it, there is an equal and opposite reaction of somebody who <br />does not like it. <br />Commissioner O'Connor continued that it appears staff has been doing this for about <br />ten years, and it should not be expected to get a whole lot better because the City has <br />what it has. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 13, 2013 Page 34 of 35 <br />
