The full Civic Economics report with the detailed analysis is attached. Daniel Houston, a Partner with Civic <br /> Economics and lead author of the study, will be presenting the findings of the report to the City Council at your <br /> meeting on September 18th. He is available for questions or meetings about the study on Monday prior to the <br /> City Council meeting. His phone number is (512) 587-7964. <br /> A copy of the report has also been sent to the press. <br /> In sum, the current JDEDZ proposal asks the City of Pleasanton to invest substantial public funds in a costly, <br /> long-term, speculative venture in a rapidly changing industry, and to do so based on erroneously optimistic <br /> forecasts of costs and benefits. The City Council and the citizens of Pleasanton must demand better information <br /> before making such a momentous investment and developing this key tract of land. The city should put this <br /> project on immediate hold until a full public review is conducted of the independent analysis to insure proper <br /> investment of public funds. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Matt Sullivan <br /> Click here to report this email as spam. <br /> 3 <br />
