about how "we were all struggling to get people vaccinated at the Coliseum" and "the East county was sort of to themselves" while the crowds were "huge" at the Coliseum. He further stated, it "almost appeared that the Tri - Valley was separate" and he doesn't want to "send the message that there is exclusivity just because of where you live in Alameda County, we're all part of the same family." He doesn't seem to understand there are not only geographical boundaries (eg. mountain ridges) that separate the Tri -Valley, there are also transportation hurdles. It's not easy to get from the northern part of Alameda County to the southern end. Perhaps, instead of talking about "exclusivity" and hinting at Tri -Valley entitlement, there should have been more than two large vaccination areas to serve the county. But I digress. At both meetings it was clearly stated that "Pleasanton hasn't weighed -in", and no official redistricting comments have been received by the Board from the Tri -Valley. We're running out of time for official input, should you and the other Mayors want to officially comment. The next public meeting is Tuesday, December 2nd. The meeting December 7th is when the first reading of the final mapping is to take place. I know how busy you must be given the time of year and the shortened redistricting timeframe. However, if you and our Alameda County Tri -Valley COI partners agree that Pleasanton should be in Supervisory District 1, and can beg, borrow, or steal time to address redistricting with the Alameda County Board I (and all of us who have submitted comments) would really appreciate it. Thank you for service and your time. Respectfully, Billie R. Otis
