- million dollars to the overall cost of this project. Additional amenities to this project would create a park-like setting and would involve planting trees along Payne Road and Denker Drive.

The Pleasanton Sports Council is looking for additional sports fields. The Sports Council views this as a positive project. The Sports Council's main concern is the availability of lighted sports fields, which would not happen at this particular site. Mayor Hosterman believed that staffs recommendation was to allow staff the ability to discuss a cooperative funding approach with tentative approval for this basic plan. Mr. Fialho said staff would like for Council to react to the plan conceptually and provide feedback as to what level of contribution it would be willing to put into this project in the context of everything else that is occurring in the City. Staff is also looking for Council direction to defer funding for this project to a later date to allow time for staff to engage with the School District on a joint funding formula that may expand beyond the School District's contribution. There is a possibility of grants that could be secured from the State and whatever could be added to the pot will offset the City's ultimate contribution to this project. He indicated that he would spend some time value engineering this project to see if the total project cost could be decreased to a reasonable level. Mr. Sullivan asked if the intent was to replace the soil on the infields but not on the outfields? Mr. Wolfe said that the soil would be amended for the turf areas and a special soil mix would be replaced on the infields.
