Both received advice from the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) and FPPC found that based on exception to the Political Reform Act, the councilmembers may participate in the discussion and decision to approve the list as a whole, general policy decisions applicable to all properties on the list, and general decisions relating to the draft element. However, FPPC noted the exception may not apply to a decision to remove a site that is in proximity to their homes or discussion of parameters to sites that do not apply to the list as a whole. City Attorney Dan Sodergren suggested that sites 25 (Pleasanton Unified School District site) and 26 (St. Augustine site) be addressed separately for questions and decisions due to Councilmembers Testa and Balch living within 500 feet of each of the sites respectively.
