Mr. Brozosky pointed out that the Ballistic goccer organization was heavily involved in the creation orVal Vista Park. He wondered if this organization might expect something, and wondered at what point does one draw the line.

He pointed out that Mr. Luna had been an advocate of the bypass road and could not be held responsible for the circumstances that caused the delay. He considered staff's recommendation a minimum tribute, and mentioned that many people believed that naming the golf course clubhouse in Mr. Lum's memory was not inappropriate. He did not believe the golf course would be in existence without Mr. Pleasanton City Council 7 01/20/04 Minutes
