<br />Mr. Wolfe said that happens commonly. A base bid is requested along with bid <br />alternatives. If the bid on the main project is favorable, then certain alternatives can be <br />added. It is more difficult to bid an entire project and then remove certain parts of it. <br /> <br />Ms. McGovern asked if the restrooms could be used for downtown patrons when <br />the theater is not being used? <br /> <br />Mr. Wolfe said staff has discussed that. For example, it could be available for <br />use during the concerts in the park. <br /> <br />Jerry Thorne was confident the Foundation would be able to raise the necessary <br />funds to finish this project. He would prefer not to phase construction. He noticed there <br />would be artifacts from the fire department in the building. He would like to focus on <br />that and would like to see the history of the fire service in Pleasanton included in this <br />project. He wanted to find a way to do this without phasing. <br /> <br />Mayor Hosterman invited public testimony. <br /> <br />3. MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC <br /> <br />John Loll, 4788 Peaceful Lane, said he has been involved in theater in <br />Pleasanton since he was a child. He is now a mutual fund treasurer and believes in <br />matching fiscal responsibility with artistic and creative endeavors. He works for Dodge <br />and Cox Investment Managers in San Francisco, which manages endowment funds for <br />charitable organizations, etc. He is a member of the Foundation because it mirrors his <br />core values. He knows there are many people who will enjoy this facility and will make <br />donations to the project. He certainly will enjoy it with his young family. The <br />Foundation's orientation is on fund raising for the arts, even though the primary goal is to <br />raise money for this project. His vision is to have an organization that will continue to <br />raise funds, sometimes for physical projects, but more to build nest eggs to support arts <br />programming and events. <br /> <br />Rudy Johnson, 5655 Black Avenue, said it was important that there be no <br />ambiguity about this project. This is a first class facility, which is needed in this <br />community. He had heard comments that the amount of money it will cost is excessive, <br />but he said it was not. He referred to a small theater he has attended in Ashland, <br />Oregon, which is similar to the one proposed for Pleasanton, and it cost over $13 <br />million. A properly equipped theater and gallery is not cheap if done right. He noted <br />this is not a "black box" theater. This is a studio theater and will be fully equipped for a <br />high level production of drama. There have been discussions about raising money for <br />this for years, but one cannot raise money until there is a clear plan. Now there is a <br />clear vision and plan and fundraising will be easier. <br /> <br />Joint Workshop <br />City Council/Civic Arts Commission <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />09/06/05 <br />
