Advisorv Committee Recommendation The Advisory Committee recommends that the Council review the grant proposal for EBRPD as required by Section 7.4.4 of the Altamont Settlement Agreement. This section states that affirmative action on the recommendations shall be required by the Board of Supervisors and the Pleasanton City Council for the expenditures in the western area. Once the Council has taken action on this grant proposal, the Advisory Committee will reconvene to vote on the recommendation that will be forwarded to the County. Both bodies shall take action on the recommendation within sixty (60) days of the Advisory Committee's submission. The cities and County shall determine only whether the recommendations are consistent with the criteria set forth in Subsection 7.4.2, which outline the following project criteria: First priority for the acquisition of land should go to land having significant value for preservation of native biological diversity and/or wildlife habitat, and second priority ofland acquisition should go to properties having significant value for visual character and/or non-motorized recreation. In addition to the desired land value as described above, a land acquisition proposal cannot be a requirement set forth as a condition of approval or where such acquisition would otherwise directly facilitate development of open space. Staff believes that these criteria are met with EBRPD's proposal for acquisition ofthe Tehan Falls property. FISCAL IMPACT The source of funding for this program is through a fee collection process based on tonnage entering the Altamont Landfill allocated to the Altamont Settlement Agreement, Open Space Account. No City funds are required. Respectfully Submitted, t:E:::oo, Planning and Community Development ~~ avid Cuiver Director of Finance Nelson Fialho City Manager Attachments: Exhibit A.
