Commissioner Allen inquired what the cost t to build a school roughly is. Mr. Dolan replied that he believed he heard $23 million. Chair Pearce commented that it's a lot. Commissioner O'Connor ask who the "someone" was the School District wanted to build the school, if they are talking about asking to impose fees or if they are just asking for the developers to build the school themselves. Chair Pearce replied that the District is asking the developers to build it. Commissioner Posson asked the question from one of the speakers on why the City is on the schedule that it is on. Mr. Dolan replied that he tried to allude to that in his last answer. He stated that the City is so far behind on its last RHNA round, and it got its Housing Element to address RHNA in the final year of an eight -year planning period. He noted that a year has gone by, and now the City has to have another Housing Element done and complete all the rezonings, accomplished and annexations if necessary, and going to LACO by the end of next year. He indicated that the City cannot really do the Housing Element without really knowing what is going on in East Pleasanton since this area is going to be one of the areas the City is getting the units from. Commissioner Allen stated that there was one other question asked as to what the time frame was for building out this Plan if the plans were approved and how that fit with the Growth Management Plan. Mr. Dolan replied that that is a big question, and he does not have the answer to it yet. He stated that one of the big tasks in front of the City now is how to figure out how to finance this, and obviously, the pace of growth has a lot to do with that. He reiterated that it is a big challenge but the City has not gotten there yet. Commissioner Ritter stated that one of the questions asked was about whether Table 2, the estimated RHNA numbers, includes all of Pleasanton and not just East Pleasanton. Mr. Dolan replied that it includes all of Pleasanton. Commissioner Ritter referred to the estimated RHNA number of 2,058 high density for the 2022 -2030 Planning Period and inquired if, basically this would be incorporated if the Option that is approved is over 2,058, and conversely, if the Preferred Option that has 1,759 is approved, it will just be short of that 2,058 number. Mr. Dolan replied that for this first round, the City will do fine with any of the Alternatives on the Very Low, but it does not do very well going to the next round.
